What better way to learn about "mansplaining" than from two guys who do it for a living? What started as a joke led Frank and Ian down a rabbit hole of linguistics, conversational style, gender differences, and some incredible research from Deborah Tannen.

In this episode:

●   Geographic differences and the varying ways we take turns

●   How our conversational style is developed as youth

●   The differences in play between boys and girls

●   Credit-grabbing and promotions

●   Who speaks in "I" vs. "We"

●   Should I ask questions in group settings?

●   Do you apologize too much?

●   Should I boast in public?
