Actually, I think they already have a guy for that.

My friend Jim and I usually tend to the grill and soak up the conversation and the sights, both of which can get a little strange. Bob and Wolf are good hosts and make it easy for everyone to relax and have fun.
I really have only two speeds when it comes to conversation. I have the background gather information mode which you seem to prefer. However, if it touches on something I am passionate about, I can move toward the opinionated rant.
Really, if I get going and become any more of a jerk, I'd have to apply for a job with Fox News, of course after undergoing the mandatory surgery to remove higher brain functions.
Of course, since I don't drink, I don't have the convenient "Did I say something wrong last night, because I was drunk off my ass and I don't remember any of it" excuse.
That being said, I really like being around people having fun, and I like to think that I can come up with occasional conversation worth having.
