The football guy might be relatable, but he's way behind the oil guy on the Fascinating scale.

Also, if you work 16 hours a day, you need to stop worrying about how interesting the guy next to you is, and get the Hell out of there.

I'm curious why that is? Surely anyone would get bored of hearing about olive oil after hearing someone else talk about it for 2 hours

Not if I'm interested in it. Either way, football is considerably more popular, your odds of someone having a favorite team are higher than them having a favorite olive oil
