I'm still a rugby guy.
Michael AtkinsonHOST

Brett McKay, who I incorrectly called McKay last week, I've actually had a conversation with him previously, just double-checking, and every time I see Brett's name pop up, I panic.
Michael AtkinsonHOST

JarrettHOST
4:19
He has The Art of Manliness.
JarrettHOST
4:22
And yes, that's very similar to The Pursuit of Manliness.
JarrettHOST
7:24
First two I want to highlight.
JarrettHOST
7:26
One is Wild at Heart, John Eldredge.
JarrettHOST
7:28
If I say Brett McKay is the grandfather or whatever you call it, the patriarch of this kind of manliness movement, the reality is it's probably John Eldredge, especially when it comes to Christianity.
JarrettHOST
7:38
So John Eldredge, Wild at Heart.

Mark StaffordHOST
1:46
And he's gonna join us very shortly, but I wanna read you the opening of his most recent one, because it pretty much, our regular list, it echoes what I was saying last week.
Mark StaffordHOST
1:58
And it ju- I was like, "Did I write this?" And he writes, "I wasn't convinced this was the year the Wallabies would break the Eden Park drought, but I certainly agreed that this was the best opportunity in recent years.
