So we can’t talk about basketball? #SketchComedy #Guys

You have to ask each other questions. Oh, that's good. We've never thought to do that. I've been coaching men on how to be proper friends for over seven years. Sometimes it takes a while for the basics to stick. I'm sorry to hear that you and your girlfriend broke up. Do you want to talk about it? Do people actually say this stuff? Everyone, I want to introduce you to my friend, Smitty. Remember, use his first name. Same. Right, men have first names. I learned that texting your friends just to check in is nice and not totally weird. You can text them whenever, saying you love them, and they don't have to think you're about to jump off a bridge. But he likes basketball. Why can't we talk about that? Because naming a bunch of NBA players isn't getting to know each other. Remember Jamal Crawford? Dude, I'm on, Shumpert. Hey, focus! We didn't talk about his parents' divorce because it didn't come up. But you didn't ask him any questions. He would have talked about it if he wanted to. And I didn't want to bring him down. Sure, sometimes the male loneliness epidemic feels like a self-inflicted wound because masculinity has taught us to bury our emotions and avoid being vulnerable. But I just like talking about Nintendo. I forget that I have to ask them about their other family members. Let's all go golfing together and not just talk about golf the entire time.
