Do you get mansplained?
Many women will know the pain of the ‘splain, but few have documented an extended mansplain so comically or in such detail as our guest for this episode, writer Lara B. Sharp. Her narrative with Johnny by the Pool is one for the ages.
She’s helping Daniel, Ben, and Kylie bring it to life on this episode of Talk the Talk.

Contains strong language.
Who’s better able to step into the role of Poolside Johnny — Daniel, or Ben? Well, who’s the biggest ****?
An improv game leads into a discussion of the B-52’s, and Kylie tells us about a time she put herself on the line.
Our discussion of the c-word takes us to an interview with Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit, and how he uses it in songs.
Things get deep when we talk about racism and sexism, but there’s plenty of face-licking to lighten things up.
