Start talking to him about baseball (being nice)... the following conversation ensues:
Pred: “Vandy hat, eh? I’m fly back to Nashville. You must be on the 10:40. Hows your baseball team going to be this year?”
Douche: “We are always cranking them out. It’s a factory down there, right?”
Pred: “Corbin has been outstanding. You guys have any special weapons a lowly Tennessee fan should know about?”
Douche: “Yeah. I don’t really follow it that close. Just assume he’s gonna be awesome.”
Pred: “Gotcha. Lot to keep up with. When did you go there?”
Douche: “I didn’t. Just really like the program, having been around that area for a while.”
Pred: “Ah. Where in Nashville did you grow up?”
Douche: “I actually grew up in Atlanta.”
Pred: “You grew up in Atlanta and you are a Vandy fan? Right on. They need all they can get, right? Where do you live in Nashville? I’m on the East Side.”
Douche: “I still live in Atlanta. I’m leaving in a hour to go back home.”
Pred: “Uhhh... ok. So you have no connection to Vanderbilt?”
Douche: “I’m just drinking a beer, man.”
