Not every connection starts with sparks flying — some take time to heat up. In this episode of What's A Good Guy?, we explore the concept of a slow burn in dating: What does it mean to be one? What adjustments does it take to date someone who moves at a different pace? And what happens when someone becomes a slow burn midway through the dating experience — after the fire already started? The guys share personal experiences, reflect on patience, expectations, and the challenge of maintaining emotional momentum when one person needs more time to open up. Is a slow burn worth the wait — or is it just an excuse for someone who's not ready?

We kick off this episode answering Bri's question: "Where are you meeting women these days?"

That opens the door to a full conversation on how dating has changed — where men meet women, how we approach them, and whether real effort still matters in today's world.

Then Kojo takes it deeper — questioning if What's A Good Guy? needs to be backed by a white man to reach its full potential, and whether Lashawn might be holding himself — and the brand — back by playing it safe.

The first 37 minutes are packed with real talk, tough truths, and a lot of laughs.

But trust us… it's what happens next that takes this episode left.

Let's just say, Lashawn ran into someone who was very clear about what she wanted — and it wasn't a relationship. 👀

This week on What's A Good Guy?, Quanny's still not letting Justin off the hook. After watching Forever on Netflix, he makes the case that Justin needs to recognize the privilege he was operating from — even if it wasn't loud, it was still real. That sparks a deeper conversation: Do people actually know when they're privileged? And at what age do they start to realize it? Quanny throws out a bold question — "Do you think white kids know their privilege by 17?" — and from there, the debate gets real. We also open up about the different forms of privilege we hold, from family support to emotional freedom, and even talk about what it means to hide your privilege to better relate to others. This episode is layered — honest, uncomfortable, and necessary.

We watched Netflix's Forever… and let's just say, things got heated. Justin & Keisha's relationship? Justin's decision to skip school? His mom vs. dad's parenting styles? Quanny calling Justin a bum? Yeah… that turned into a full-blown debate on how we'd handle things if Justin was our son. The first 34 minutes are on YouTube & DSPs. The rest? You already know — Patreon exclusive.

This week on What's A Good Guy?, we're talking about the art — and the risk — of applying pressure when you're pursuing someone.

Is there a fine line between showing genuine interest and begging for attention? Can consistency still look desperate in the wrong context?

The guys open up about how they each "applied pressure" to win over their significant other, what worked, what backfired, and where they draw the line between confidence and chasing.

We're diving into real stories, real lessons, and real questions:  • When is it okay to go the extra mile?  • Is "begging" always a bad thing?  • And most importantly — are you applying pressure… or just pressing your luck?

This week on What's A Good Guy?, Lashawn opens up about a week full of standing on business — whether it was handling professional moves, responding to 3 a.m. text messages, or dealing with someone who ghosted him suddenly spinning the block. The conversation takes a deeper turn when Kojo shares why, for some people, it's easier to process things alone rather than talk it out — and how emotional independence can feel like both strength and survival. From awkward reappearances to emotional boundaries, this episode is a blend of real talk, vulnerability, and a few laughs in between.

In this preview of Episode 325: My Muse, Kojo, Lashawn, and Don go back and forth over one of the most complicated creative inspirations we've seen: love. Dane opens up to Lashawn about how a new romantic connection pushed his creativity to new heights — but there's a twist. The muse? She's the sister of one of his closest friends. Is she the reason for his artistic growth, or is Dane romanticizing the chaos? Kojo thinks it wasn't real if it ended in secrecy. Don questions if art and love should ever mix. Lashawn just wants to make sense of the mess.

In this episode of What's A Good Guy?, we dive deep into the unspoken battle between logic and emotion — the true negotiation happening inside all of us. Inspired by Chris Voss' book Never Split the Difference, we explore how tactical empathy — not logic — became the FBI's greatest weapon against kidnappers and terrorists, and why that same shift is crucial when facing grief and loss. Men are often taught to "think" through pain, while women are encouraged to "feel" through it. But what if true healing — and true power — comes not from winning an argument with life, but from sitting at the table with your own emotions? This conversation challenges the way we bargain with grief, reveals why silence can be our greatest teacher, and asks the ultimate question: What part of you are you still trying to negotiate with — and what would it look like to finally let go?
