He Said / She Said: Men Respond

In Episode 9 of Don't Piss Me Off, Bryana and Yuri open the floor for a real-time conversation between perspectives. This episode, titled “He Said / She Said: Men Respond,” brings in a male voice not to debate or defend — but to listen, respond, and engage honestly.

Chicago’s own Tone Kapone joins the hosts to share what frustrates men, how they interpret women’s expectations, and where communication breaks down. The goal isn’t to have one side “win,” but to unpack the disconnects that keep people stuck in dating confusion.

The conversation explores why clarity is often treated like pressure, how ego and insecurity shape interactions, and what both men and women need to hear about consistency, communication, and accountability. Bryana and Yuri also challenge assumptions while reflecting on how mixed signals and avoidance can exist on both sides.

This episode creates space for honest dialogue — addressing defensiveness, “not all men” energy, and the tension that arises when people stop listening and start protecting their ego. Through candid discussion, the group examines what healthy masculinity looks like, why commitment conversations feel loaded, and how mutual understanding can shift dating dynamics.

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Don't leave my stats on the floor. Maybe I'll work for it. We'll be here all day.

SPEAKER_04 2:13

Liz. But seriously, thank you for coming. I feel like one of the reasons why I wanted to bring you here, or we wanted to bring you here, is because many of y'all don't know, but Tone was a big, big, big part of Yuri and I pressing the gas on Don't Piss Me Off podcast. So I appreciate you, brother. Thank you so much for all of your insight and expertise because you are the man. You have figured out how to transition with media through pretty much every decade. And um, it meant a lot, you know, taking in your wisdom. And it's a pleasure to have you truly. No, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Thank you. I appreciate everybody.

SPEAKER_04 2:49

Yeah, and I also think you offer a fair perspective. So those who who know you, I'm sure a lot of people watching already know you and have seen you and just even in your own lane and in your own rights. But even on your podcast, I feel like you hold the, you're the fair guy, right? Everybody has their lane and you are always fair. And I think this conversation, you know, we know you don't speak for all men, but it is a perspective of a man who I think is fair. So I'm super excited to get into it.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

Let's get to it.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

Let's get into it.

SPEAKER_03 3:15

So, how we start off each episode, Brianna, let them know what pissed you off this week.

SPEAKER_04 3:20

Oh, I think for me, when men respond defensively, you know, we talk a lot about communication, right? And if you want to know what pissed me off, and I'm telling you what pissed me off, and you're listening to respond and to react versus really hearing me and being like, okay, this is where I could atone, or this is where we can meet in the middle on this disagreement. That shit really pisses me off. Because don't act like, oh, I'm tweaking or I'm not being communicative. And then when I tell you, you use that to attack me.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Fair. No, I I that would piss me off too. For me this week, there's been a uh a plague of like soft ass men, like they the victim, like cue the violin. It's a sensitiveness. Like I want the safe space. You we we've talked about people like this.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 4:15

Like, I'm I'm tired of being the dude in the relationship. Like, I like please. Who the bitch? I always say that. Who the bitch? Me and you. I I want to live in my soft girl ever, but I'm too busy being the soldier. You know what I'm saying? So this week it was rampant. Tom, what pissed you off this week? Tell us.

SPEAKER_00 4:31

Uh better yet, tell us who it was. No, I don't think anything really, really pissed me off, but I can say stuff that does piss me off. I feel like people try me a little bit. I feel like that because of what I do, because of who I am, people I, you know, people try to get stuff off on me real quick. And a lot of times I've I've gotten, I've gotten really good at ignoring it.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

I'm really good at it. I'm really good at ignoring it, but I would say that would be the only thing that really pissed me off. Other than that, man, I mean 2026 has been going good. It's busting. It's busting. Survive for real.

SPEAKER_04 5:04

Period. So, Tom, what I want to know is what do men think women want versus what women are saying?

SPEAKER_00 5:12

In your experience. In my experience, I would think that, I think men, we are already programmed, right? In a in a sense to say, okay, when it's time, I gotta go get it. I gotta go get it. So when we come out, we already see guys in our neighborhood. I don't know if women pay attention to other women, how they doing it, but dudes are paying attention to other dudes that are above them, older than them, more successful than them. They watching how they're getting it. And they're like, all right, and I see how he's moving, I have to go get it. That is that is what we are taught. Once we come out of high school, we learn it's time to get it. And I think while we're doing that, um, you know, you you you scrolling and you hit with all these different things. It's like you're like, oh, okay, well, yeah, I gotta get her hair done. I gotta get her cash out going. I she don't want to spend time with me for this. And then you, so right now you have a sense of right now, even though it's still true and it's not a bad thing, but I think women have lost the finesse in which to get things out of a man.

SPEAKER_04 6:14

A hundred percent.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

I think that like you don't have to tell us that we're an ATM and we be an ATM. It's a way to get things.

SPEAKER_04 6:20

You don't want to feel like a sucker. I know you need your exam. I'm the one who fucked it up. I know this.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

You don't want to feel like the sucker, like, you know, you might your boys like, man, like, man, they might talk about you behind your back a little bit, like, man, he be buying her everything. But she's never come to the forefront and been like, yo, he's behind me everything. She just said in a finesse way, like, my man, take care of him. Yeah, I'm kept. Yeah, that's it. You don't want to nobody want to feel like what? No, a woman doesn't want to feel crazy. Well, a man like, man, I got her doing everything. She, you know what I mean? Yeah. If I'm saying that out loud, it it makes the dynamic weird.

SPEAKER_04 6:59

Yeah. I think that's real. Women definitely, even if they don't say it, we want men to do stuff like that. And and I'm not just saying this on some like, oh, chicks who don't got it and is looking for somebody else to do it for them. I'm saying for me and Yuri, you know, professional, black, visible, we do the keeping around this motherfucker. Sometimes it is nice for somebody to be like, you know what, baby, go get your hair done this weekend. You know what I mean? Because we're gonna get it done regardless. We we are those kind of women that we're gonna take care of our upkeep, upkeep, excuse me. But I do think that um there is a larger part of me that does not want to say or ask. I will if I have to. But there's a big part of me who I will never be like, can you, will you, um, because I just wasn't raised that way. I think some of it is upbreaking too. I know people do. Yeah. And and I've talked about this before, you know, um with you personally, you know, my father wasn't in the home, but he was a provider. So my mom and dad weren't married. So the way I grew up understanding a man's role was like providing, even though he wasn't in the home. So when I started dating and dating men who didn't provide, because maybe they daddy wasn't in the home either, right? You kind of learned the difference of those things. And for me, um, I'm never gonna say it, but I want some money. Please cover something. I'm never gonna actually. I don't want to, but I do want you to do it, right? It's done regardless. Oh, yeah. Because sometimes it's just nice for somebody to take off that load, even if it is just your nails. It's just nice for somebody to offer to do it.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

Do you think like in the climate there's like a fear of commitment or like just general indecision in terms of relationships, or is it just a lot of options?

SPEAKER_00 8:38

Uh I think it's a little bit of both. You know what I mean? And I think, you know, dating is a competitive space. It's not, it's survivor.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

It's a sport.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

It's a sport. Survivor. You know what I mean? It's like, you know, it's, and I say this all the time, it's like, yo, I meet Brianna, I meet, I meet whoever, like, you know, and I think that I'm the first dude that ran up on her and found her when she was in a single space. No, she probably talking to somebody. She, but she gave me the time because it might not be working out. It might not be, she might be on the back end of something. So if I I come in, I gotta come in with all my best. And I think in a situation sometimes when women cut, well, you women don't, they want you to, they think, oh, I met this successful dude and he's by himself. No, that's not the case. Never a successful man is never a successful. That's not the case. You gotta get in and do something to catch somebody's attention. Oh my god. Male or female. Like I said, dating is a very, very competitive sport. And if you're not willing to get in there, really do what you gotta do, that's why you see people complain.

SPEAKER_04 9:41

That's real. And I feel like when I think about it as being a competitive sport, for me, it's not about me and other women. It's really about me getting what the fuck I want. Like I said, I like having my way. So for me, I'm not even thinking about who else you're talking to. I'll never bring another bitch up. And we gotta for real be locked in for me to even think that you, I will never bring up another female. It's just not in me. Because now I look weak and insecure, and I'm never gonna look weak and insecure. So I will never bring up another another woman. But more importantly, I feel like women sometimes struggle when they feel like a man, a man is not believing them when they're saying what they want directly. So if I'm telling you directly what I want, and you like, oh no, you already already know you got like two, three. I'm talking to you about what I want with you from you. You know what I mean? So, like, what is that about?

SPEAKER_00 10:32

I mean, you gotta remember, like, especially if somebody's being, especially if a man's being cautious with your feelings, you ladies, you gotta take that as he like it. That's a real thing. And like a lot of times, like people like, oh, I hate man lied to. I'm lying to the chick, but I don't want to hurt her feelings. That is a fact. Sorry if anybody is called, don't piss me off. Maybe did.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

No, but I've heard that. Like, does he love the one he lies to or he tells the truth to? Like, there's that, you know.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

That's the one you tell the truth to the person you really don't see nothing with. You try to protect the feelings of the woman that you that you're lying to. You like, I want to soften this blow. I'm not gonna tell a woman that I like that, yo, I got blah, blah, blah one on, or I just did blah, blah, blah. It sounds contradictory, but I promise you, most men are trying to soften the blow on women that they love or they have feelings for, or they possibly see a future from. I I just heard from a from a friend of mine. He was like, yo, like, yeah, I'm dating this girl, and you know, she just told me, yo, I got another date going. You know, I'm a, you know, I can't see you because I'm going out with somebody.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

She got gang.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

Like, you got to lie to me. I don't want to be with you no more.

SPEAKER_03 11:42

Lie to me. Yeah. You can't be that honestly. No, too. Because if a dude tell me that, peace, nigga, you ain't even gonna hear me tell me no bullshit. I'd be like, well, go with her then. Because if there's a choice, then there's no choice. Because you should have been taking me out tonight. Correct. Now you're not. Because now I'm going on.

SPEAKER_04 11:55

Yeah, because I could call somebody. Dang. So wait, wait. So, buddy, just real quick, this was somebody that he was truly interested in. And he's like, I can't believe she didn't lie to me. Right, again, he had another drink because he's heartbroken now. That's true, right? But also, this is where men and women there's the significance. She said it because she probably wants him to be the one that steps up. So let they let him know there is somebody that's going to lead and plan the dates. I'm just letting you know I'm going out on one. She didn't say that because that was somebody she didn't care about. She probably wouldn't even text them back if she was with somebody she really wanted to be with that night.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

So I'm gonna take a drink to this. I'm gonna take a drink to this.

SPEAKER_04 12:32

Probably want Buddy to step up.

SPEAKER_00 12:34

So she likes to be like here's the here's the here's the part where men are for Venus and whatever Mars, however that shit goes. That's a dumbass way to think. I'm gonna keep it above, keep it above.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

I'll be doing it, but they don't know.

SPEAKER_00 12:48

I really want to know that's the dumbest way. Because the first thing is I want you should step up, want to step up. No, it's a lot of y'all. I'm gonna step to the side and go get to somebody else.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

That ain't gonna work. I don't I'm not thinking that. I've by all means go on your date, you ain't gonna hear from me again. That's my that's my cue to anything.

SPEAKER_04 13:05

I do it when it's like a guy that I'm like, not that and shit. I'm never gonna tell a guy I really like, especially if I'm choosing. But that's what I'm saying. You ain't never gonna say that. It's a guy that I don't have no interest in like that, and like maybe we see each other, maybe take me out every night.

SPEAKER_03 13:16

If I say that, I don't want you to call me back. Like, this is I don't need to go back on this date.

SPEAKER_00 13:21

Exactly, exactly. That'd be the thing. That's what I mean. I just need to do.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

That's me leaving early. That's when you got that friend call you. Oh, it's an emergency, gotta go, gotta go. I got a date. I got a date. I got a date. I got a date. That's a bonus shit.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

She didn't like him at all. Capone step up, but I will step away.

SPEAKER_04 13:37

Tone said, pressure over date.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Now, a lot of me good. I'm there. A lie. A lot of me good. I don't need to know if you got if me and you just dating. I don't need to know everybody that's in your DMs. I don't need to know what's weird at you. Yeah. I don't need to know when you're getting ready to go out on a date because I met you and we're we're in a process of getting to know each other. I'm not gonna, I don't why should I, we have no relationship equity. So why should I want you to drop everybody to try to put go all in on me? Let you have to see what I'm about.

SPEAKER_03 14:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

And we might not, we might not be more than conversations. We might not be more than physical. We might not be more than a lot of different things, but you gotta see it. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 14:19

Yeah. I feel that. And I also feel like I think sometimes women, we want men to drop everything and everybody off rip. Because we know we the shit, so it's like, oh, off rip. Like, I'm giving you the time of day. I think you should really just stop talking to everybody. That'd be the delusion in me though. I really think that.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

Because I haven't, I don't even know what I'm saying. I would never say it, but in my head, I'm like, nigga, you bag me. I don't, I don't like nobody.

SPEAKER_04 14:42

You got my attention, stop talking to everybody. That's really what I'm thinking in my head. Because I'm not loosely giving attention. Like, I I really care about my space and time. Fair. And I value my space and time and I value other people's space and time, except for when I'm on bullshit. But like if it's someone that I'm truly interested in.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

If I'm already there with it, if I'm not, then by all means. If I'm not, I don't give a shit. Yeah, because I'm not serious. Don't piss me off though.

SPEAKER_04 15:05

Like, seriously. Seriously. I got one nigga I see with a bunch of bitches all the time.

SPEAKER_03 15:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:10

And maybe weaker than me, and I just be like, ugh, one more month that I'm never gonna touch you, then it'd just be a year and then two years, and I never talk to him again. Because you always want a different bitch and every week.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Got it. All right. Male perspective, even if it's not you, the general intimidation by like successful independent women.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

I think those are mean that you don't need to bother yourself with. You know what I mean? Because real, real dudes, especially that got something going on, they want their girl to have motion. Even though dudes wanna wanna brag about their chick. They want to say, yeah, you know, my girl, you know, she a lawyer, she does blah, blah, blah, and she do this, you know. You want to brag about your person. You know what I mean? You wanna, you wanna brag. So guys that are that doing that, they that's that's a form of control, I feel like. 100%. I feel like it's a form of control. And they're completely broke. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like I think that I think there's women that that do the same thing in a in a different sort of way, but um I I just 100% I would any woman that's this guy here got emotion for real, and it's a dude tell us, you know, making her feel bad about what she's accomplished and the things she's done.

SPEAKER_04 16:12

And they know who they can do that too. They do like that. I feel like it's weird. It's fucking weird. Certain men know who they can do that too. Some dudes be weird, man. I think that some people are some people are predators. We we can't act like shit be peaches and creams. Some men are predators, and they prey on women who they feel like they can control. But like we talked about before. Sometimes they want to bring you down the size. Oh, she's too good, she this, she that. Well, shit, let me break her ass down to where the fuck I'm at. And I think that's weak and weird. But I think they are predators. You do that to people who you think you can get away with, who you think you can use, driving her car, living in her crib, you know, just yucky.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

Or I think there's also men that they said it recently, like people like the idea of you, not who you really are. They can't handle who you really are, but they like the idea of it. Like, oh, I want to date a lawyer, I want to date this girl. But then when they have it, they don't know what to do with that shit. Fumble the fucking ball.

SPEAKER_04 17:02

They take you to weak-ass Italian spots that are mommy pop fucking plates big enough to fit.

SPEAKER_03 17:08

Family style six. Taking you to $15. Hell no. Hell fucking no. You got leftovers. He's trying to feed you for the week.

SPEAKER_02 17:26

Don't take me the one to get straight. Take me a fucking carbon. Don't take me the one to get it. Fucking chicken porn jump again. Holding that talk about what's that sauce y'all be putting on the chicken?

SPEAKER_00 17:40

Uh look, what? Uh what, sweet baby rays or what?

SPEAKER_04 17:43

What's the shit y'all be putting on Harold's sauce?

SPEAKER_00 17:46

Oh, mouth sauce.

SPEAKER_04 17:46

Yeah, you gotta put a little mouth sauce on the biggest. Put the mouth sauce on this.

SPEAKER_00 17:50

You gotta know that the dudes that don't know how to sell that. That's also fellas. You gotta know how to sell it, man. You gotta know how to sell it. You go out a date with me when I ain't had no money. Woo! I'm gonna talk up a chilies date like free.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

Well, the national high mozzarella thing. What?

SPEAKER_00 18:06

I'm telling you, like, man, my people over here, Chili's, and my, you know, my guy that he's gonna make sure we drink it good, and he's gonna bring out some like special stuff that we ain't even out yet.

SPEAKER_02 18:16

You gotta know how to, you gotta know how to chili. They got a new mozzarella thing you won't even know. That's just fire.

SPEAKER_04 18:24

You got the fucking patrol margaritas. Listen, filled up. Listen. Well, what I will say is I feel like you kind of mentioned earlier, like, oh, you know, if you you think you're gonna pull one on me, I'm just gonna move to the side. Why do men treat clarity like pressure? Like when there's a woman that's like, hey, this is where I'm at in my life. And it's not, it might not even be about you. It's like, hey, we're just learning each other, but do you do you see yourself as a a a committed husband or do you want kids? Some men take that as like, oh damn, she's trying to get married tomorrow. And it's like, no, I'm trying to see if we're aligned.

SPEAKER_00 18:54

Well, there's there's a couple things though, ladies, that's in my opinion. I think sometimes that question is asked uh far too soon. You know what I mean? That'd be like me, like, hey, you want to uh have kids? Like on a first date, like that's that don't mean it's with you. But it was still that, even though it doesn't mean with you, in that moment, in that moment, it it can feel like you, right? And is it, you know, and that's something in a communication class that I've learned years ago. It's not about what you say, it's how the receiver takes it.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 19:24

And so you have to be always aware of what you say and how that receiver is taking that in that way. I I think clarity is okay when it's, I think when you when you down the line a little bit, yeah, you want to ask, you've been dating somebody for six months and you ask them, like, you know, what's your thoughts on, you know, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

Six months, it listen, and and I'm saying this because I have girlfriends who are on biological clocks and timelines, dealing with the same stuff they was dealing with in their early 30s, now they're in their early 40s. Knowing that I'm on a biological clock, and I'm not rushing per se you, but I am dating and I want to weed out men who don't even see themselves as fathers and husbands. I don't think there's a too soon time. Six months is a long time. That's six months. So now I'm crazy about you. I love you. We six months in, we locked in, and now I find out you don't want kids, and I've committed six months. For me, six months is too long to get clarity.

SPEAKER_03 20:21

For me, okay, for me. If I was 21, call me.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

But since you know, you can know, you could be having conversations, like conversations about there's a finesse. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

But why we got a finesse? So why we gotta be vague though?

SPEAKER_00 20:33

You don't have to be vague, but you know somebody wants kids, you know somebody wants to be married, you know how they treat you, you know how they're treating you. People always I feel like if you have to ask if I like you, you you already if I gotta ask you don't like me. Right. You want to ask if I like you, I'm not asking you. You already know what we're doing. I ain't asking you.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

As soon as I even feel like you don't like me. I'm not gonna talk about it. I don't like me. Exactly. I better know.

SPEAKER_00 20:58

I didn't, but I I don't I don't think there's a a right, I don't know what the timeline is. I I don't know what I how I feel about that and personally, but I just feel like sometimes that has been asked about me, and it's ruined it. I'm like, yo, they get to ask about marriage. I'm like, yeah, but marriage, you don't have to sign a prenup. And they get antsy about that.

SPEAKER_04 21:17

Fair enough. Then that means y'all are not aligned. Now you know. Now you know you're not gonna sign a prenup. So we are not only so scared of the prenup.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

Evaluated six months, we still I have no problem. I have no problem. I don't care how much I love you. Six months, and you're gonna sign that prenup.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

This is a great six months by ready to make that exit.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

God bless you.

Fabulous six months. I wish you well. So I feel like you guys don't understand fully that consistency matters to us, that communication and clarity that does matter to us. I would hate to be in a space in my life. I'm not there right now, but I would hate to be in a space in my life where I'm like, oh. You know, I'm in the moment where biologically I've been told that what I need to do needs to happen soon, right? And I need to date not just intentionally, but date for actual life partnership. And it doesn't mean I'm trying to get married to this person tomorrow, but like my mindset is of that. And I feel like when women express that, y'all run. Like y'all just be through the door. And it's it's not, like I said, it's not always like about you. It's just about where I am. So if this is not where you are, that's fine. Why waste the six months? Why waste the three months? We were month one. We've been on four dates this month. Date number four, I'm like, so what are you, you know, thinking about? How does your next two to three years look? Do you see yourself as a partner? Do you see yourself as a husband?

SPEAKER_00 22:48

So date intentionally is a sticky part for me, right? Uh, because I've seen people date intentionally and then crash or burn. I've done things while I was like, oh, I got all this, I got this, I got this, I got this, I got this. I got all my parents, I got my family, I got, man, you need to get a wife. You need to get and and now I'm trying to fill this void, and I'm not, my selection process is not where it should be. You know what I mean? I have a brother that was just coming out to hang out with me for my birthday that we do all the time. And met his wife. Things happen. Lester, things happen in God's plan. Like, I think, I think you live your life and you live your life, and you don't date stupidly, but I think anytime that you you feel a pressure of doing what you think you're supposed to do and what's supposed to be happening in that moment in your life, I feel like mistakes could be made.

SPEAKER_04 23:50

Yeah. And I think also there is a difference between forcing and flowing. I don't, I don't, I don't think either of us lives our life in a way that's like, this is what needs to be happening right now in my life at this age, at this time. I think that was all a lie sold to us. By 21, you need to be doing this. By 25, this, 30, this, the house. By 35, this. You know, I don't live by that rule, but I do live by a rule of doing things that feel good to me, no matter how they end up. That's why I'll be having so much fucking fun. This feels good right now. I'm loving this. It's probably gonna end in two weeks, but this is fucking great. So, on a closing note, can you share with us what women need to hear from a man's perspective?

SPEAKER_00 24:36

Wow, that's big and broad. I, you know, I for me, and I'm not an expert at it at all. Um, I've probably been dating longer than I can admit to. Uh, but I, you know, for my thing, I think like you said, for you, if you got saying is that, you know, the communication is the key, understanding what each other wants out of that. And and I think that happens through through conversations. I think that happens through time. I think, you know, a lot of people are trying to rush into stuff's cram so much when we spending half of our day, three-fourths of our day at work. Yeah. And then you're coming home and then you're like, okay, I like this person. I've been dating them for this week, for weeks, and now let's move in. And that's and then you're moving in, but like you're moving in with people after months, because I gotta see how they like. And then you're trying to be married, which living together is being married. I don't care how anybody tries to box it up. Um instead of just dating and and under trying to get an understanding. Yeah, and and you know, and being with that person that you that you feel like you like. And once you find somebody you really liking, you lean in. And if the shit don't work out, so what? Yeah, get your ass back out there or do that and try to work again. A lot of people like, I ain't doing that because I I did that the last time and it ain't work out. That's weak. Yeah, you're a loser. Get your ass back in the game and try to win.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

Get back on the horse, get back on the horse. And y'all, you don't want to be a loser. Be a fucking winner.

SPEAKER_00 26:09

Be a winner, be a winner, get back on there. It don't matter, you only need one to win. You only won. You only need one thing to work out.

SPEAKER_04 26:17
