In this episode of All-In podcast, the hosts explore the topic of emotions, weeping, and what it means to be a man to talk about The hosts are going all in on what it means for men to cry, show emotion, and move beyond generations of bottling things up.

Whether you're a listener who feels they are numbing their emotions, or just curious about how men can be vulnerable and process things healthily, this conversation will explore the extremes of emotional response and offer two steps toward finding a necessary inner life.

What You’ll Hear:

• The different types of crying men experience, including the "cutting onions cry" and the dreaded "screamer". The hosts reflect on growing up without seeing men demonstrate emotion beyond anger.
• A discussion on how fear is the root cause driving both extremes of emotional response: numbing emotions (like stoicism) and hyper-sensitivity, leading to explosions like frequent anger.
• The powerful life lessons from former NC State coach Jim Valvano (Jimmy V), who said that for a day to be full, you need to do three things: laugh, think, and cry.

In this episode of All In podcast, the guys explores why conversations today feel stale and how listeners can move past small talk to find genuine connection.

Whether you're someone whose career is based on full-time communication, or just curious about how to overcome cultural polarization and social anxiety in dialogue, this conversation will provide tips and tricks to foster deeper connections by leading with curiosity.

What You’ll Hear:

• The cultural factors—including the effects of social media algorithms, short-form content like YouTube shorts and TikTok, and a fear of disagreement—that have created polarization and conversational echo chambers.
• How to move beyond small talk by applying a conversational roadmap that progresses from shallow entry (invitation) to shared experience, then deeper into values, meaning, and beliefs.
• The surprising insight that podcasts have "blown up" because people are not having conversations in their own lives and are seeking to be "a part of a conversation" by listening to others.

In this episode of All In, the hosts explore the topic of being too scared to ask for help when faced with adult responsibilities and home projects.

Whether you're a young man, a young dad, or just curious about the anxiety of feeling like you should know how to fix things (even though no one ever taught you), this conversation will help you realize it's okay to try new things and not know what you're doing and allow yourself to be weak and ask for help.

What You’ll Hear:

• The hosts confessing that they have no idea what they're doing as handymen and adults, detailing failures like spending six days on garage shelves that collapsed and the crippling, two-month fear of using a grill that took 10 hours to assemble.
• Why simple tasks necessitate constant trips to the hardware store (requiring a minimum of "at least five times" for one project), and the shame of ignoring essential maintenance, such as the host who was too embarrassed to admit he replaced his own car struts, leading to completely bald tires.
• The intense pressure on new fathers to be providers, and the surprising link between struggling to build a bookshelf and the terrifying reality of being left alone with a newborn, realizing suddenly, "I don't know what to do".

In this virtual drop episode of All In, the guys sit down with Joe Moran, an unsolicited expert in all things Ryder Cup, to talk about the intense rivalry, dramatic player pairings, and the "cauldron of pressure" surrounding professional golf's biggest team event.

Whether you're a professional golf fan, looking for job search strategy, or just curious about the unique pressures of team competition and career transitions, this conversation will equip you with the inside stories and technical analysis needed to appreciate the drama of the Ryder Cup and master the LinkedIn "neighborhood".

What You’ll Hear:

• Why the Ryder Cup's matchplay format creates a "cauldron of pressure," causing players like Keegan Bradley and Rob McIntyre to call the first tee shot the most nervous experience in golf.
• The hilarious true story of Joe's aggressive "discrepancy" interview prank with a colleague, and his analysis of why LinkedIn is becoming a video-focused "neighborhood".
• The Keegan Bradley underdog narrative: why he was snubbed for the team two years ago and his dramatic refusal to unpack his golf bag since the demoralizing 2014 loss at Glen Eagles, waiting until he wins a Ryder Cup.

In this episode of All In, hosts John Michael, Jose, and Clayton explore what it truly means to be a great father and a good son, acknowledging the complexities and challenges of modern fatherhood.

What You’ll Hear:

• Mount Rushmore of Dads: The hosts debate and honor figures like Kobe Bryant, Will Smith (from The Pursuit of Happyness), John Krasinski (from A Quiet Place), and St. Louis Martin for their exemplary fatherhood, alongside honorable mentions like Vin Diesel from The Pacifier and their own fathers.

• The Evolving Father-Son Relationship: Personal reflections are shared on the special transition from being a father to a son to being more like a brother to a brother as men. This includes John Michael navigating the unique challenges of raising a child with Down's Syndrome and Jose's father's significant sacrifice in moving his family from Mexico to the US.

• Realities of Dad Life: Humorous and vulnerable discussions cover lessons they wished they'd listened to their dads about, such as golf or financial literacy. The episode also highlights the importance of seeking mentorship from older dads and the less-than-glamorous "dad jobs," like cleaning up kids' vomit and managing dirty diapers.

In this episode of The All-In podcast, the hosts explore the topic of whether extreme health and fitness has become a new religion, questioning if you need a "six-pack to get into heaven".

Whether you're navigating the modern health and fitness world, or just curious about the fine line between dedication and obsession, this conversation will offer candid insights into finding a "middle ground" for a balanced life.

What You’ll Hear:

• The hyper-obsession in the health and fitness world, from elaborate supplement stacks and wearable tech (like Garmin and Whoop) to the intense debate over seed oils and specific diets.
• Hilarious personal anecdotes and gym fails, including awkward encounters with "nipples" showing through tight polos, sleeping in Wranglers, a humiliating Orange Theory puking story with a father-in-law, and the comical experience of a golf team doing "plyometrics" while a football team maxed out.
• A deep dive into whether health and fitness has become a new form of "salvation" or "addiction," exploring the extreme biohacking of individuals like Brian Johnson (who spends $2 million a year on his quest for immortality) and the societal drive to challenge oneself with "impossible tasks" like climbing Mount Everest without leaving the city.

What You’ll Hear:

• The Lore Begins: From Front Porch to Podcast: Discover how their friendship started in college, from "hanging out drinking some Millers on the front porch" to their current setup with microphones, including funny stories about their "Hooji" photo history and their Texas roots, debating the "superior Texas city".

• Friendship Forged in Faith and Fraternity: Learn how their bond deepened through their shared faith journey at the Catholic Center and Bible study, wrestling with their past selves and striving towards Christ, as well as their experiences joining the same fraternity in college.

• Humor, Heart, and "Unsolicited Advice": Enjoy humorous anecdotes like Jose's dramatic arrival at Bible study in a Mercedes-Benz contrasting with a "beat down moped," Clayton's "hard award" in golf, and their self-proclaimed expertise in giving "unsolicited advice" with certainty on topics they "know nothing about".
