The Culture of Toughness

July 30, 2026 • Jim McCauley, Dan Foley & Terry O'Brien

0:00 | 47:19

This week on 3Sixty, Dan, Terry, and Jim open the show talking about the World Cup and Larry David... fans, anyone?

Then they dive into a heavy topic that hits close to home for our generation: The Culture of Toughness. Many of us grew up in a world where embarrassment was the point, hazing was sanctioned by adults, and the locker-room mentality infiltrated corporate boardrooms throughout the 70s and 80s. But was making jokes at someone else's expense just learned behavior—or a survival coping mechanism to keep the target off our own backs?

Finally, they close out the show with seven ways you can disagree with someone you love.
