To think there are no talk shows with all-male hosts because men eventually run out of things to say to each other?

I’ve noticed that most popular talk shows seem to have women as hosts or a mix of men and women, but rarely do you see shows with just men talking. It got me wondering — is it because men eventually run out of things to say to each other? Or maybe it’s because male friendships tend to focus on doing things together rather than talking at length?

AIBU to think that men just don’t engage in the same kinds of long, chatty conversations as women, which might be why we don’t see many all-male talk shows? Or am I missing something here?

I take it you haven't stumbled across the "men who think the whole world has been waiting with bated breath for them to make a podcast" genre?

God it's so awful isn't it. I mean.. they certainly do run out of things to say, but they don't let it stop them. (Unfortunately!)?

I'm a woman and I'd be the shittest host, I can't talk mindlessly and have no idea how people do.

But yes, typically women are better at communicating for sure.
