What does it mean when tough men admit they cry? In this unexpectedly moving episode, four friends create a safe space to discuss vulnerability and the surprising things that trigger their emotions - from touching father-daughter stories to dog movies that destroy them.

The conversation begins with a surprising admission: as these men have entered their 30s, 40s and 50s they've noticed themselves becoming more emotional. One host shares how listening to a story on the radio about a father following his daughter's school bus to ensure she could participate in a field trip nearly moved him to tears just retelling it. This opens the floodgates as each man confesses which movies have reduced them to tears - with dog films like Marley and Me, Old Yeller and Benji being universal triggers. The authenticity is palpable as one host admits to crying during a screening of Marley and Me hours before a football game, completely unconcerned about his upcoming athletic performance.

The conversation takes a powerful turn when discussing films about racial injustice. Several hosts admit they've had to limit watching certain Black historical dramas because the emotional toll is too great. "Mississippi Burning," "Rosewood," and "Fruitvale Station" are cited as films that left them not just sad but angry and emotionally drained.

Between these vulnerable moments, the group pivots to discussing current events - including a former Phoenix news anchor's massive PPP loan fraud scheme - and childhood nostalgic treats now turned into ice cream. Throughout these varied topics, the cohesive thread remains their willingness to be genuine with each other, creating a refreshingly honest podcast experience that challenges listeners to embrace their own vulnerability.

If you've ever felt alone in your emotional responses or wondered if it's okay for men to show their feelings, this episode provides both validation and permission to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion.
