    I had a phone date with a guy before committing to dinner. I could hardly speak because he dominated the conversation and didn’t ask me a single question.

    Near the end of the call, he mentioned that him and a buddy had just started a podcast together.

    Needless to say, I did not get dinner with him.

      That’s basically my dad. He’s ALWAYS been a “dial-a-lecture” type of guy, where your only input into the conversation is to tune his dials.

      Not surprisingly, he complains of having no friends because he lives in a conservative area and he was always insufferably trying to convince them they are wrong.

      He is spending his final years in communion with ChatGPT.
