    I suppose you can try and start a conversation by talking about yourself, or “a friend”, then using that as a hook for asking about them. Or use a low hanging fruit, like a popular sport (something weird in USA, soccer everywhere else):

    “Damn, my friend can’t stop talking about his team, do you follow sports?” On a no, it’s a perfect opportunity to comment something like “Yeah, better stuff to spend your time with, right?”
