I will give current events or I will talk about something weird that happened to me. Like the Chicago pope or someone I met on the bus who recommended me a book on King George the third.
one of my go-to’s is coming up with a scenario like “do you know someone with (weirdly specific features) cus i just heard them talking about someone and it sounded like your name” and i fully commit to the bit to the point where i have to consider cutting them off because it’s getting too serious.
Usually it’ll be something like “Guys I have something HUGE planned for the 28th and it involves a LOT of red paint, confetti, and a vat of boiling water.”
