My friend's insistence on explaining every rule before we play just kills the vibe for new people at our table.
I saw three people zone out completely during a 45 minute preamble to Scythe last Saturday, so now I just teach the core goal and first turn, then we jump in and learn as we go.

Have you considered how a long rules talk might actually waste more time? People learn better by doing, so starting the game gets them invested faster. A bored player who quits halfway through is the real time sink.
