On this installment of the Rough Rugged & Raw Podcast we are talking all things cry babies. Spring shows are in full swing and so are the posts and comments complaining about placements and politics. We also talk about cry babies in life especially in parenting. If you are overwhelmed by life, change it, don't whine about it. You don't need a cry closet, you need to grow a pair.
