That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Folks, this is the Eric Metaxus show. I'm Eric Metaxus, and I get to talk to fascinating people.

I have next to me here. I'm still at the NRB

in Nashville, and I'm sitting here with the author of a book called The Men We Need, God's

Purpose for the manly man, the avid endorseman or endorseman or any man willing to show up. The author

is Brant Hanson. Brand, welcome to the program. Thanks, man.

I find the term the avid endorsement. Very funny. Very funny. So tell my audience, before I tell them,

tell me, what is this book about? Well, I'm all for deconstructing masculinity to a point. Yeah. A lot of it's valid. Yeah. Because there's a lot of stuff that you know. It's just like, that's not masculinity. That's just posing or something. Like when I was flexing earlier? And your shirt was in tatters? Yeah. We all remember that. Hey, that was real, dude. No, and that was, and that was legit, and I'm not taken away from that.

Listen, I worked for this body.

I'm proud of it.

Yeah, you should be.

I worked hard for this.

Hide it under a bushel?

No.

But, but, okay, seriously, the book is called The Men We Need, and it's about actual real manhood.

I'm taking a shot at constructing something rather than just deconstructing.

Because guys do not know, and you know this, especially younger guys.

What is it?

We know what we're not supposed to do.
