I've always found it difficult to talk about, e.g. food. "Isn't this food great?" "Yeah, it's delicious"! Similarly with the weather, or any other conversation where you're basically just repeating what's obvious to both of you.
Of course some people prefer it this way, and genuinely enjoy small talk -- they don't feel a need to be talking "about something". Far be it from me to piss on their parade. But if you don't understand this need, consider yourself lucky.
* Damn, she made these biscuits big as hell. Love these biscuits.
* Not sure what 36 is doing on the sideline like that.
* Hey man, that hat looks baller.
* Yeah, last weekend I saw a dude in stilts
To me, that is not small talk. It's nothing: it's filler sounds made to break silence.
Small talk would be: "what did you think of the food? I've never had potatoes cooked that way before."
Give the other person something to go on, at least.
