I hate when people start their first sentence with 'I mean'. You say 'I mean' when you're clarifying something you've already said. When it's used before anything has been stated, it makes no sense and sounds stupid.
it's just another "umm"

"To be fair..."

As opposed to what? Were you thinking of something unfair?!
Usually means that they are trying to represent the opposing side's perspective.
"Ancient people's may have believed the world was flat, but to be fair that was the intuitive answer."

No I know that, but he doesn't.

I mean like he starts with "tbf", when he's representing his own perspective when there wasn't an excuse.

E.g.
"I like spaghetti"
"To be fair so do I"
