The speaker is listening to a podcast about the future, the past, and everything in between. They discuss their self-loathing and how they suppress their feelings about themselves to pretend they're not self-doubtful. The speaker mentions that they have never cried in front of their friend and that they feel like they would be a very ugly cryer if they did. They also mention that women are allowed to do different types of crying, including the simple weep and the more generous "ugly cry." The speaker also mentions a milestone in their friendship where they cried because they quit a match and beat their friend at the driving range. The conversation ends with the speaker asking for their personal perspective on crying.
