Are you constantly getting interrupted… or manterrupted?
Well, you’re in good company. After the first Trump/Clinton debate, we couldn’t help but notice a certain man continually talking over a certain woman. So for this episode, we’re talking language and men and women, and we’re going find out who talks more, once and for all.
Linguist Daniel Midgley explains — but doesn’t mansplain — on this episode of Talk the Talk.

There’s like a whole ‘nother episode here, and it’s some of our funniest discussion ever!
While Daniel and Ben are waiting for Kylie, they discuss sportsball. Is it what made America great? What about Britain? And Daniel leaves us with a puzzle, but what’s the answer? Can you work it out?
Then Ben recounts his experience on Howard Sattler’s show. (#scarred4lyfe) Daniel gives his secrets for convincing people — it’s all in the narrative. How did our upbringing influence our thinking?
Kylie reveals what kind of debauchery goes on in feminist knitting circles, and Ben and Kylie talk improv. Daniel embarks on an epic rant about libertarianism, but Kylie’s having trouble pronouncing Ayn Rand’s name.
Finally, a special thank you to our Patreon friends for listening.
