[Speaker 1] I'm a lot older than that! I'm a farmer. What do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I love to play soccer with my best friend calden! What do you like to do?

[Speaker 1] I like to go out hiking. I only have one arm though, so that's harder.

[Speaker 2] That sounds hard! I recently got rejected from the gifted program.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have any siblings? I've three. I'm the youngest.

[Speaker 2] No siblings for me. Are you married?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am. My wife helps a lot on the farm since my car accident.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Sorry to hear about the accident.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. Do you have any other hobbies? Any pets?

[Speaker 2] No, not really. I like school. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I liked school, too. I don't have pets, but I've animals on the farm.

[Speaker 2] That sounds neat. I spend a lot of time practicing soccer.

[Speaker 1] You must be good at it! Do you like any other sports?

[Speaker 2] I do, but soccer is my favorite! Is working on the farm fun?

I am a farmer.

I like to go hiking. I only have one arm.

I like to play my favorite sport soccer with my best friend Calden.

I just got my rejection letter from the gifted program. I have great friends.

I don't have pets. I like school.

[Speaker 1] How was school? Have you been playing in soccer with Calden?

[Speaker 2] School was fun. I played soccer with Calden yesterday, and we each scored a goal.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! What did you do at school?

[Speaker 2] Yesterday we played tag, and I learned how to subtract numbers.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like you're learning a lot. What is your favorite subject at school?

[Speaker 2] Gym! I get to play sports with my friends when we have gym.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! It sounds like you are very active, like me. I get exercise mostly by going hiking. Do you get to play soccer during gym class?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes. We also play basketball, dodge ball, and t-ball. I like soccer the most. What is hiking?

[Speaker 1] Cool! Hiking is where you go for a walk, usually in the forest on a trail. It can be long or short. I often enjoy long hikes that take an hour or two!

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds like a lot of fun! Can I come with you next time? Please?

[Speaker 1] Haha. You should ask your family and maybe they will take you hiking! It's nice to spend time in nature. So I heard you got a rejection letter from the gifted program. I'm sorry to hear that! How are you feeling about it?

[Speaker 2] Oh okay. I'm sad I got rejected. I wanted to be a doctor but now I can't. But it's okay because now I'm just going to play soccer instead.

I am a farmer.

I only have one arm. My wife helps me since I got in a car accident.

I enjoy  hikes and hour or two long. I like  spending time in nature.

I am 7 years old. I just got my rejection letter from the gifted program.

I am an only child.

I wanted to be a doctor.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry you got rejected. You can still be a doctor if you want to. You should just find a different way to achieve your goal or try again for the program next year.

[Speaker 2] Well I am only 7 years old. My time will still come. How is it being a farmer?

[Speaker 1] It gets boring at times but the best part is having all the animals around.

[Speaker 2] I wish I had a pet. I love dogs. What is your favorite animal on the farm?

[Speaker 1] I love the cows. They are so majestic. I would love to do other things like play sports. Are you good?

[Speaker 2] I am pretty good at soccer and basketball. Dodgeball would probably be my least favorite. What is your favorite sport? Do you like to watch them?

[Speaker 1] I like to play sports but not so much watch them. I love basketball and football.

[Speaker 2] I watch football with my father. I love to go the games

[Speaker 1] I have a hard time sitting still for so long. It seems like a lot of excitement at the games.

[Speaker 2] It is very crowded, loud, and exciting. I usually cannot sit still long, but the games keep my focus. Have you ever been to a game?

[Speaker 1] No I have not. Would you like to take me to one?

[Speaker 2] I can't drive. You should talk to my dad

I wanted to be a doctor.

I have a living father.

[Speaker 1] I played some football on my farm

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun! Maybe we could play some time?

[Speaker 1] That could be fun. Maybe your dad can bring you over sometime.

[Speaker 2] We don't have a car but he could take me on the bus!

[Speaker 1] I've never ridden the bus. I think it would be fun.

[Speaker 2] It is! I like meeting all the people on the bus!

[Speaker 1] You seem like you are very friendly. I wish I was like that when I was your age.

[Speaker 2] I love making new friends! What were you like when you were my age?

[Speaker 1] I was quiet and shy. But I loved to go hiking and explore.

[Speaker 2] I love exploring! Being outdoors is so much fun!

[Speaker 1] I could show you some great trails near my farm.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I haven't been on many hikes before!

[Speaker 2] Hello, sounds yummy! I'm doing great, you?

[Speaker 1] Fine! Since living in the us I've seen so much damage from the hurricanes. Terrible.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is horrible. I'm very lucky that my three children and I live up north.

[Speaker 1] That's good. Do you have boys and girls?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have two girls and one boy. Do you have children?

[Speaker 1] No, I have transitioned from male to female when I was 17 so I hope to adopt

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, nice. Well adoption is great!

[Speaker 1] Yes I think so. I am still young enough I am only 20.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you are still young. I am 27 I consider myself young as well haha.

[Speaker 1] Yes we both are for sure the sky is a beautiful blue today my favorite color

[Speaker 2] It sure is, almost feels like summer again. My favorite color is purple.

I wasn't born in the United States.

I identify as a transgender male to female. I transitioned when I was 17. I hope to adopt children.

I am 20 years old.

My favorite color is blue.

I live in the Northern United States.
I have two girls and one boy.
I am 27 years old.
My favorite color is purple.

[Speaker 1] Hey there! I've looked into adopting children since we last talked!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, so you are ready to commit. Congrats! being a parent is the most fulfilling role you'll ever have. Have you spoken to the agency, yet? are you adopting outside of USA or inside?

[Speaker 1] I did contact an agency. I'm going to get started on the paperwork. I will be doing it in the US, since I think its easier here than home.

[Speaker 2] Did they say anything about being only 20? Ive heard there is an, ideal age, adoption agencies look for? is that true? Great, many children here in the U.S that need a forever home.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure, I think it might be 25. I know its a long process though, so I'm getting all the stuff done that I can now. how is everything up north?

[Speaker 2] I am wishing you the absolute best, have you told your family about adopting, how many are you seeking to adopt, again? Boy! its cold here, winter storms have been harsh here, I really want to move Hawaii, and not deal with iced roads and the SNOW!

[Speaker 1] They support me wanting to have kids. I think I'm going to start with one and see how it goes. That sucks about the cold weather. Did you get snow recently?

[Speaker 2] I am so happy to hear, I always thought I only wanted one, and here I am with 3. They drive me nuts, but make life meaningful and purposeful. We got snow last night, we had to wait for the city to come out and remove the snow from our doors, it was awful, had snow alerts all night long. Are you adopting a boy or a girl

[Speaker 1] I really don't have a preference. I just want to give them a loving home. Having to wait to have the snow removed sounds awful. Do you have to shovel a lot of snow?

[Speaker 2] I was in the same boat, until I got my 2 girls back to back, after that I longed for a boy! and here he is, that little rascal. love him to death. It is, we could not open our doors, its a hassle to live in states where we have regular snow storms. Yes, I do lots of shoveling and removal of ice from cars too. do you deal with snow?

[Speaker 1] We barely have seasons where I am. I'd love to see the snow some day, but I don't want to live somewhere snowy.

[Speaker 2] Once you adopt you baby, trust me, youll have this need to explore the world and show your child the beauty the world has to offer. I did not feel like exploring the world until I became a parent.

I wasn't born in the United States, but I live here now.

I am 20 years old.

My favorite color is blue.

It doesn't snow where I live.

I live in the Northern United States.

I have two girls and one boy.

I am 27 years old.

My favorite color is purple.

I would like to move to Hawaii. We have lots of snow storms where I live.

[Speaker 1] I have received and began to fill out the paperwork that is necessary for me to adopt a child.  The director at the agency said that it could take anywhere from 1 to 5 years to complete the entire process.

[Speaker 2] I am so proud of you.  That is a long time to wait but I promise you the wait is worth it.  Did the aggency give you other details on what kind of child you will be getting? Maybe where they will be from or gender?

[Speaker 1] No, it is a long process because they need to look into me, have interviews, talk to people i know, find a child after all this vetting. So, they will only let me know possible options after years. All i hope for is a child. I can handle anything that comes my way, and i will cherish them so much. It is a dream come true.

[Speaker 2] Very good point.  If you need any references, please feel free to put down my name.  I see how well you care for my children when you are all together.  I hope to see you soon - I'll do just about anything to get away from all this snow!

[Speaker 1] I really appreciate that! I will really need all the references and help that i can get. This is my biggest life goal, and i am so happy that i have this kind of an option! I hope so too! Do you think you would want to come over here as a solo trip to get away from life a little, or you think you would wanna come with the kids?

[Speaker 2] I think I will bring the kids.  Since you are so close to Hawaii I would like to see if we can fly down there as well.  I'd like to show the kids around and see if they like it (how could they not!?).  I want to be sure we find them schools they enjoy and a community we will really be able to feel a part of.

[Speaker 1] That is actually a really great idea. I will definitely come with you on that mini trip so i can help you out with the kids. How serious do you think you are about Actually moving there, instead of just visiting?

[Speaker 2] I love it! I'm very serious...If I have to shovel snow one more time I may burst!!  Hawaii is just so beautiful and yes, very expensive, but I think we could make it work.  I've been planning on it for years and I think now is the time to just go for it.

[Speaker 1] Haha, i think i may need to move somewhere with snow. I have never experienced living in it, and i think that would be an amazing experience for a while at least. I am really proud of you for planning this move. It is a big deal, but it is really a whole life changer in the most amazing way to get that new experience.

[Speaker 2] Thank you - well I learned from you that if you don't like something, change it! You have been quite the inspiration to me as well when you decided to transition 3 years ago.  Are you all done with your surgeries now?

[Speaker 1] I really appreciate that. It takes a lot of guts and courage, to change anything in your life. If you want it enough, you will do anything to get there. I know you can do it. I am finally whole in all my surgeries. I definitely still plan to do some more facial sculpting and some other smaller operations, but the main ones are all done. Especially because i was so young, they make you go to therapy for 2 years to make sure I am true in my desire to transition, so the last surgery was not too long ago. I am still in pain from it actually.

[Speaker 2] I'm so proud of you! And take it easy so you can recover quicker.  Who knows, you could have a kiddo running around the house before you know it.  And at the very least, chasing 3 kids around Hawaii will keep you very busy.

I identify as a transgender male to female. I transitioned when I was 17. I just had surgery.

I am 20 years old.

My favorite color is blue.

It doesn't snow where I live.

I am going to adopt a child. My main goal in life is to have children.

I live in a warm place. I have never lived in a place that snows.

I live in the Northern United States.

My favorite color is purple.

I am going to visit Hawaii. I want to move me and my children to Hawaii. I love Hawaii.

[Speaker 1] How are your kids? I saw that you just got hit by another snow storm - did the kids get off school?

[Speaker 2] Yes! They count on at least 3 snow days every school year... of course there’s those make up days later :)

[Speaker 1] I always wanted to live in snow.

[Speaker 2] It is quite beautiful... but does take some getting used to! Plus the shoveling and traffic issues about it haha... don’t even get me started lol

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah that highway accident due to the blizzard, saw on the news near you.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that was quite brutal... I wish I was in Hawaii already!

[Speaker 1] Have any plans? What is your favorite island? Mine is the big one.

[Speaker 2] Maui! Big One is a close second! The visits are wonderful but my heart is set on moving there with my kids... it’ll be a major change but I’m mentally prepared.

[Speaker 1] Blizzards or volcanoes.....which is better?


I love fall and winter.
I like eating healthy foods.
I like sleeping in.
I've brown hair.

My car broke down last week.

I like to fly kites.

My neighbor comes over all the time to watch rugby with me.

I love sports, but rugby is my favorite.

I work out every other day.

I like the last part of the year.

I don't like french fries.

I try to stay n bed until at least noon everyday.

I've dark features.

My only means of transportation is down.

I enjoy flying a kite.

The person living next door visits my house to see the all blacks.

I like activities, but certain ones I like most.

I lift weights four times a week.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] Hello! How are you today?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing well. I'm so glad fall is upon us!

[Speaker 2] I'm upset that my car is not working but I'm ok.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! That'sn't good. Is it in the shop now?

[Speaker 2] Taking it in after I work out. I exercise every other day.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's impressive. I do not like exercising, but I do eat healthy!

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite dish? I make cauliflower nachos.

[Speaker 1] I am always making something different. I am vegan. Cauliflower nachos? Awesome!

[Speaker 2] My neighbor stops by to watch rugby and loves them!

[Speaker 1] Sounds delicious! Are you a big rugby fan?

[Speaker 2] I love rugby but also love other sports too. Do you?

[Speaker 1] I'm not very interested in sports.

[Speaker 2] You mentioned you like fall. What do you like best about it?

[Speaker 1] I love the cool weather and the leaves changing colors.

[Speaker 2] I enjoying flying kites in the fall.

I don't like exercising. I am not interested in sports. I like to eat healthy.

I like the cool weather.

I work out every other day.

I make cauliflower nachos.

I love rugby and other sports.

I like to fly kites during the Fall season.

[Speaker 1] I just made some cauliflower nachos after you mentioned them. They're great!

[Speaker 2] I hope you love them! I did when I first made them. Did you enjoy making the dish?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did enjoy it. And they came out really good. I used vegan cheese. Thanks for the idea. What did you have for dinner tonight?

[Speaker 2] I have some steamed veggies with baked salmon. Delicious after playing rugby all day with my friends.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good and healthy. How was rugby? Do you play competitively? I would like to watch you play sometime.

[Speaker 2] I don't play competitively, though I do try to play a game at least one a week with friends. The rumble and tumble of the game is what drew me too it as a boy. Been playing the sport since middle school. Even though you don't like them, what sport would you play if you had to pick?

[Speaker 1] Yout must be really good at it. Hmm. Watching sports is ok, but I have never really been into playing them. I think I would play something like golf, a game that I could play alone and out in nature.

[Speaker 2] So it seems you like the slow, relaxing nature of playing a sport. Is it because to too much like exercise?

[Speaker 1] I am not against exercicing. I just don't enjoy it at all, so it is hard for me to get motivated to do it. But, yes, I don't like anything too high impact. I would like to play a sport that is peaceful and quiet. What other sports do you play a lot?

[Speaker 2] I understand. Getting into exercising can be tough and a bit intimidating. As for other sports I play, I also play basketball with friends.

[Speaker 1] That is good that you keep the sports and exercising up even when it is cold out. I really like the cold, but I don't know if I could play rugby out in it right now. You are impressive.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I've been pretty active since I was a kid. Sticking to one place for too long annoys me to no end.

I make different kinds of dishes frequently. I am vegan. I like to eat healthy. I like cauliflower nachos.

I like the cool weather. I really like the cold.

I like being alone in nature.

I work out every other day.

I make cauliflower nachos.

I play basketball.

I am active. I don't like staying in one place.

[Speaker 1] When is the next rugby game you have planned?

[Speaker 2] This Saturday afternoon.  I know you don't like sports but you should come watch.  We go out to eat afterwards.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I guess I could come, the weather is going to be nice and brisk so it should be pretty pleasant.  Where would you want to go eat at after the game?

[Speaker 2] This little bar/restaurant a few blocks away from the rugby field.  They have really good food.  Healthy, and vegan options as well.

[Speaker 1] That sounds awesome, do you tend to get really hungry after games? The few times I've tried exercising the main difference I noticed was how hungry it made me.

[Speaker 2] Yes, rugby does take a lot out of you.

[Speaker 1] That's what I thought, will this place have big enough portions for you?  I know you want somewhere vegan for my sake, but there's lot of food I can eat at any restaurant.

[Speaker 2] No problem!  We always go to this place because it is so close and the food is really good.  They do sell typical bar food, but they have healthy plates and vegan plates, as well.

[Speaker 1] Okay cool! I just wanted to make sure it was really okay with you and you weren't just trying to please me.  How long will the game last?  I'm thinking maybe I can take a walk during it if I get bored, haha.

[Speaker 2] The game lasts about an hour and a half.  You won't get bored, lots of excitment.  You can talk with the other spectators, they usually gather and chat anyway.

[Speaker 1] That's not too long, I think I can tough it out even if I do get bored.  I like that the crowd will be friendly, but if they're talking sports I don't know if I'll have much to say.

[Speaker 2] Naw, they're probably bored too, lol!

I like being alone in nature.

I work out every other day.

I make cauliflower nachos.

I love rugby and other sports. I play rugby game once a week.  I don't play rugby competitively. I am a boy. I enjoy rugby as a hobby. Whenever i play rugby, myself and the team go to a bar afterwards to eat and drink.

I play basketball.

[Speaker 1] I just had to run for the bus and can confirm i wont be exercising by choice any time soon!

[Speaker 2] Haha, you say that, but it's always by choice! No one's going to force you! You gotta' keep pushing yourself! That being said - I'm really proud of you! It's not easy to exercise when you don't enjoy it. I know the struggle.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, just not an exercise lover. I have no idea how you can play as many sports as you do. Running for the bus was plenty for me hahaha.

[Speaker 2] I think it's because I love the competition so much. It's not that I want to beat people, as much as it is that I want to try to be the best at every sport I play. I know I probably can't, but I use that motivation to continually push myself to get better. I get so much satisfaction looking back at the progress I've made athletically over the years.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. When was your last rugby match, anyway? Did you win? I realized the other day that I haven't come to see you play months.

[Speaker 2] We had a rugby match against Manchester last week, and I played as the hooker. Probably one of the closest matches I've ever had, but we ended up losing by 2 points. I was devastated, so I've been trying to get more time in training lately.

[Speaker 1] Bummer, sorry about that. But at least you got in some good work, right? You've gotten so much better over the past few years. You should be proud of that.

[Speaker 2] I am, I've came a really long way as a player. And it's not easy to try to balance playing multiple sports at once, I can tell you that. It's not the balancing games that's hard, but having two totally different training regimens that makes it difficult for me.

[Speaker 1] I can't really relate on a personal level haha but I can imagine that the training protocols for rugby and basketball are quite different!

[Speaker 2] Totally different, no joke. But one good thing about that, is it keeps you from plateauing, and tricks your muscles into not getting bored so they will continue to develop. It's great for developing my muscle memory. Hey, would you ever want to play a game of basketball sometime? Could be fun to have a 1v1!

[Speaker 1] I really don't enjoy sports, but I'm up for it as long as we can have a plate of cauliflower nachos after. Deal?

[Speaker 2] That's an absolute deal. And hey man, I won't be too hard on you. I'll try to make it fun. If you can learn to have fun while you're getting exercise, it can change your life. I promise!

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing

[Speaker 2] Hello hello. I'm ok actually. Had my butter coffee so I'm good to go.

[Speaker 1] Butter coffee sounds pretty interesting

[Speaker 2] Well, I love to cook so its something I came across in a book.

[Speaker 1] That's cook do you like the outdoors

[Speaker 2] I love the outdoors. I'm always in my garden for that reason.

[Speaker 1] I love to camp and do outdoor activities

[Speaker 2] Due to me living in a small city its hard for me to go camping.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense have you always lived in the city?

[Speaker 2] Yes, actually. I have always dreamed of living in the countryside, though. You?

[Speaker 1] I am originally from london I kind of miss it

[Speaker 2] Wow. When did you move here?

I have a cat named seven of nine.

My favorite tv show is dancing with the stars.

[Speaker 1] Hello. How are you this evening?

[Speaker 2] I'm very well, how are you?

[Speaker 1] Tired. Finished a double at the coffee house and I still have to study for an exam

[Speaker 2] I'm tired too, but from being out all day.

[Speaker 1] Running errands? Or work related?

[Speaker 2] Went out shopping and then dancing.

[Speaker 1] Dancing? I love dancing! Singing too!

[Speaker 2] I am a much bigger fan of dancing than singing.

[Speaker 1] Do you enjoy dancing with the stars?

[Speaker 2] Org, that's my favorite show.

[Speaker 1] Mine too! I have tried mimicking some of the moves, but I am not very good.

[Speaker 2] I can salsa but I sure can hit the angles for the tango.

[Speaker 1] Too experienced for me. I have 2 left feet.

[Speaker 2] I got 2 hips that can move

[Speaker 1] I wish I could dance. Then I could reenact my favorite broadway musicals.

[Speaker 2] I like broadway more for the shopping

I am in school and also work at a coffee house.

I love dancing and singing.

I like broadway musicals.

I like to dance, but not to sing.

I enjoy shopping more than I enjoy musicals.

[Speaker 1] I decided I want to get more into dancing! Do you think you could help me out?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to. I've never taught anyone to dance before, but I'd like to give it a try. What kind of dance would you like to learn?

[Speaker 1] I currently already take some classes. I study contemporary and jazz styles. I was wondering if you could show me the types of dancing you like and do and show me some of your moves. I want to learn all styles.

[Speaker 2] That works for me. We can start with some of the traditional dances that I know. Are you free to get together this weekend?

[Speaker 1] Thank you! What types of dancing do you usually do? I am working Saturday until 1pm, but other than that I am free. When is good for you?

[Speaker 2] Mostly ballroom dancing like waltzes and the foxtrot. I would suggest we start with those and maybe move on to some other styles later. I'll be free any time Saturday. What made you decide to get more into dancing?

[Speaker 1] I am really excited to dance with you. I just love dancing so much. It makes me happy. I also seem to get inspired when I watch Dancing With the Stars. I can't get enough of watching people express themself through dance.

[Speaker 2] I know the feeling. Plus it's such great exercise. I think I get a better workout from dancing than I do from jogging.

[Speaker 1] I totally agree. I feel totally exhilirated after I dance and like I had a full mind and body workout. Maybe I could come over Saturday afternoon and then we can go out and grab dinner after we dance.

[Speaker 2] That would be lovely. Where do you want to go for dinner?

[Speaker 1] Are there any good news places near you? I have been craving Mexcian food lately, so I wouldn't mind that. And I could always go for margaritas.

[Speaker 2] I love Mexican! There's a new Mexican place not too far from my house that I've been meaning to try. We should try there.

I love dancing and singing. Dancing with the Stars is my favorite show. I like broadway musicals.

I want to take up dancing. I take  contemporary and jazz dance lessons.

I like to dance, but not to sing. I do traditional dance.

I do  ballroom dancing like waltzes and foxtrot.  I dance  for exercise.

I love Mexican food.

[Speaker 1] Iv been watching dancing with the stars, and getting excited about our meeting on Saturday.

[Speaker 2] I can't stop watching dancing with the stars. I can't wait either! Dancing, eating Mexican food and drinking margaritas, is the best way i can imagine spending a Saturday!

[Speaker 1] Mexican food sounds delicious! I love tacos, especially carne asada tacos. Are you going to any ballroom dancing classes this weekend?

[Speaker 2] Yes, me too! Absolutely delicious!! Yes, i actually am. Speaking of which, on Sunday they have a starter class for ballroom dancing, would you have an interest in joining me and going to that one, while i go to my normal class at the same time?

[Speaker 1] That sounds like so much fun. I usually dance jazz and contemporary but I would love an intro to ballroom! I would love to come. At what time is the class?

[Speaker 2] Yay! That would be so much fun! They have morning and evening classes. I could go to either one. Do you have work or class on Sunday?

[Speaker 1] I have a study group in the morning but I can definitely do the evening class. I have to study for my chemistry final, but after I'm done with that my afternoon is free. Maybe we can go get mexican food after!

[Speaker 2] That sounds absolutely fantastic! It is so wonderful to do things that you enjoy in life! Maybe we could do Mexican take out and watch Dancing with the Stars so we can relax more after our dance class.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun. I wouldn't want to miss Dancing with the Stars. I heard they are bringing in a surprise guest this weekend! Where should we meet before the class? Or I can pick you up if you'd like.

I like Mexican food. I likes margaritas. I love to eat tacos.

I watch dancing with the stars.

I go to a study group on Sunday mornings. I am still in school.

I love Mexican food.

I watch dancing with the stars. I like dancing, Mexican food, and margaritas.

[Speaker 1] Dancing with the stars tonight was so good!

[Speaker 2] I know!  Did you see that amazing foxtrot routine?  It was by far my favorite, and the costumes were amazing.  Which one did you like best?

[Speaker 1] I loved the foxtrot routine too! I wish I had could be on dancing with the stars!

[Speaker 2] Have you had enough lessons?  Would you be the expert dancer or the celeb?  I didn't know you were famous!

[Speaker 1] I hope one day I could be an expert dancer! Practice makes perfect!

[Speaker 2] I agree.  I've been taking lessons for over 10 years, but still don't feel like I would be good enough.

[Speaker 1] Have more confidence in yourself! If anything it would be a fun experience!

[Speaker 2] I think "So You Think You Can Dance" would be a better fit for where I am now than Dancing with the Stars.  I like that show too, but it's harder to be invested in the contestants right away because we don't know them like we do with the celebs on Dancing with the Stars.

[Speaker 1] Ah, I've never seen that show! Do you like it as much as dancing with the stars?

[Speaker 2] There's a wider variety of dance types on SYTYCD, so I do like that part.  Especially the hip hop routines.  They're very different than the structured ballroom dances that I do, so I really admire the talent that is required.  What would your favorite type of dance be?

[Speaker 1] Contemporary is my favorite! I'm hoping that I can use the skills I learn in dance lessons when I finally land a gig on Broadway!

[Speaker 2] That would be really cool if you land a part on Broadway!  Even though I'm not super into musicals, I would definitely come see anything that you're in.  It would give me an excuse to shop for a new outfit too!

[Speaker 1] I work for a power company. What do you study?

[Speaker 2] I'm studying law. What is your favorite thing to eat?

[Speaker 1] I love tacos! What is your favorite food?

[Speaker 2] Tacos are amazing. It depends on my mood

[Speaker 1] I understand that. Do you change moods often? I read about that

[Speaker 2] I'm usually in the mood for sushi I don't eat meat

[Speaker 1] So you are vegetarian? I am from los angeles so there are lots of vegetarian restaurants

[Speaker 2] Yes I love animals. Dogs are my favorite!

I am a law student.

I often eat sushi. I do not eat meat.

My favorite animals are dogs.

I own a dog. My dog's name is pepper. I love my dog.

I love shopping at the mall.

[Speaker 1] My cat did the silliest thing a couple hours ago.

[Speaker 2] Animals are so funny. They have such unique personalities!  What did your cat do?

[Speaker 1] He sat on the remote control so I couldn't change the channel. That cat just loves watching cartoons.

[Speaker 2] Haha! My dog has a weird obsession with tennis and golf. When I leave for work, I put the golf channel on for him. I have no idea how he's processing it, but it keeps him happy. Have you thought about getting a second cat?

[Speaker 1] Not really, does Pepper get along well with other dogs?

[Speaker 2] Pepper loves every creature on the planet. Unfortunately, they don't love him as much as he loves them, as when he met a skunk last year. I'm not sure whether Pepper is very trusting, or just kind of stupid. Does your cat not get along with other cats?

[Speaker 1] I'm afraid to ask him. He's quite intimidating to be honest. I just try to feed him and stay out of his way.

[Speaker 2] So he runs the house, huh? What sort of a cat is he?

[Speaker 1] Yes, he runs the show. I don't really know what type of cat he is. One day he just kind of showed up and took over the place.

[Speaker 2] That's very sweet of you to take him in. A lot of people wouldn't do that. How long have you had him?

[Speaker 1] About two years or so. How old is Pepper now?

[Speaker 2] I adopted him from a shelter. As far as they can tell, he was about two. So now, he'd be six years old. One day, maybe I'll travel out to see you and bring him along. I'm sure he'd love you.

I work for a power company.
My favorite food is tacos.
I live in Los Angeles.
I have a television.
My cat intimidates me.
I've had my cat for 2 years.

I am a law student.

I like tacos. I do not have a favorite food. I often eat sushi. I do not eat meat.

My favorite animals are dogs.

My dog Pepper is around 6 years old. I love my dog.

I love shopping at the mall.

I have a job.

[Speaker 1] How has work been recently - are you still swamped?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is still very busy but it is starting to die down.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's good, hopefully it will get better soon for you, nothing worse that feeling stressed! I guess taking Pepper out for walks is a good excuse to get outside every now and then

[Speaker 2] Yes, Pepper loves going on walks.  Nature does take away from the stress.  I can't wait ot finish law school so at least I will get paid more for all the stress!

[Speaker 1] Haha, yeah, that will be good, something to keep working towards! How long have you got left to go now?

[Speaker 2] Two more years.  I just started last year.

[Speaker 1] Ah, still a long way to go then, it will be worth it in the end! You'll end up on good money in the end, kind of wish I did a degree now!

[Speaker 2] Yes it is costly, stressful and hard work, but hopefully worth it.  Do you like working at the power company?  What do you do?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's ok, I work in the Operations Team, so making sure that any problems that come up get dealt with quickly. Sometimes I wish I went to veterinary school, I always wanted to be a vet growing up. I just got lazy and wanted to finish school as quickly as possible!

[Speaker 2] You can always go back to school.   You take good care of your cat, you would make a good vet.

[Speaker 1] Oh thank you! Yeah maybe, I think I'd need to save up for a while first, like you said it is expensive. I suppose I could always get a job as well like you have.

[Speaker 2] Yes, you could work at a shelter or a clinic.  Even volunteer to start with.  You could really see if it was for you or not.

My favorite food is tacos.

I live in Los Angeles.

I have a television.

My cat intimidates me.

I've had my cat for 2 years.

I do not have a degree. I work at a power company in the Operations Team. I always wanted to be a vet but didn't want to go through the necessary schooling.

My favorite animals are dogs.

I love shopping at the mall.

I have a job. I am busy with work.

I am a law student. I have two more years of law school. I have already been in law school for a year. I find law school to be difficult and stressful but think it will be worth it.

[Speaker 1] What type of dog is Pepper?

[Speaker 2] Pepper's a French Bulldog! What breed is your cat?

[Speaker 1] So cute! my cat is a Maine Coon.  They are very beautiful cats but sometimes are not very friendly. I'm not sure if there is a cat training school but I think she would definitely benefit from a little help! How is school going?

[Speaker 2] Oh, Maine Coons are a phenomenal breed! School has been alright. A bit stressful, I suppose. I'll be interning at a local law firm this summer.

[Speaker 1] That's great news, congratulations! Your hard work is paying off. Do you have to quit your other job then?

[Speaker 2] I'm taking unpaid leave from my other job over the summer to do the internship, but I'll keep the job until I graduate from law school.

[Speaker 1] That's great they're holding your place while you're doing your internship. I can't imagine how busy you have been trying to juggle it all. I think that's why I never took that leap into going to vet school.

[Speaker 2] It's quite a grind, yeah. But unfortunately, it's really the only way to advance in one's career.

[Speaker 1] You're very right! Hard work has gotten you this far; I'm proud of you! I'd like to take you out for tacos soon to give you a break from cooking for yourself too.  Are you around next weekend?

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I should be free next weekend, and I'd love to meet! What sort of tacos do you recommend?

[Speaker 1] Well I have tons of meat recommendations but for you I'd say to try the black bean burger.  There is a new Mexican restaurant nearby that I've heard has a huge vegetarian menu.  It'd be a perfect place to check out and catch up!

[Speaker 2] That sounds excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing you next week!

[Speaker 2] Good, I don't eat meat so I am vegan and I have brown eyes

[Speaker 1] Bit jet lagged myself just got back from london.

[Speaker 2] Oh, it will pass. I go to umass and I study philosophy. I also enjoy concert going.

[Speaker 1] Was on a ministry retreat. Vegetarian here. Went to umass too.

[Speaker 2] Oh how wonderful! What did you study?

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite band? English and education.

[Speaker 2] Hmm.. That is a tough question because I like so many.

[Speaker 1] Philosophy is incredible. Just amazing.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is. I quite enjoy it.

[Speaker 1] What is your least favorite food?

[Speaker 2] Broccoli!! What is your least favorite??

[Speaker 1] What is the meaning of life? Green beans yuck.

[Speaker 2] If only I knew the answer to that question!!!!

[Speaker 1] Me too right? Think it is just to live with love moment to moment.

[Speaker 2] Exactly, I would have to agree with you. Cherish every moment.

I just returned from London.

I am a vegetarian.

I studied English and Education at UMass.

I like Philosophy.

I don't like green beans.

I am a vegan.  I have brown eyes.

I am studying philosophy at UMass.  I like concerts.

I enjoy Philosophy.

I don't like broccoli.

[Speaker 1] When will you graduate from UMass?

[Speaker 2] I have two more years to go if I pass all my classes. I've been enjoying it so far so I think I will pass.

[Speaker 1] I am sure you will. If you are enjoying what you are studying I don't see the reason why you should not pass them. Just keep working on it!

[Speaker 2] I appreciate the advice, thanks! Hey would you want to join me for a concert later this week?

[Speaker 1] Yeah it would be great! When will it be and who is going to play?

[Speaker 2] Some guys from the music department at school put together a rock band. They are called Platinum Panther. They play old school classic rock.

[Speaker 1] Sounds nice. Yeah, definitely I would like to join you. Do you mind if I ask my friend Marie to come too. More we are, funnier will be.

I just returned from London.

I am a vegetarian.

I like Philosophy.

I don't like green beans.

I would like to go to old school rock gig. I have a friend Marie.

I am a vegan. I have brown eyes.

I am studying philosophy at UMass. I enjoy Philosophy.  I have 2 years left, are confident I am going to pass. I like concerts.

I don't like broccoli.

I am going to a concert later in the week.

[Speaker 1] I'v spoken to Marie and she would love to come to the gig if that's ok?

[Speaker 2] Yeah sure, I'll pick up a ticket for her & she can pay me back on the day. Did she want to come for food with us first as well?

[Speaker 1] Maybe, I'll check. She's not a vegetarian, but we go out together a lot so it shouldn't be a problem.  Did you have a place in mind?

[Speaker 2] No thoughts yet, there are lots of places close to the gig so there will be plenty of choice! How were your afternoon lectures?

[Speaker 1] Perfect, that sounds great!  Lectures were fine. Nothing amazing or new this time.  We are kind of wrapping up the semester so there's a lot of review from previous classes.  It's kind of the calm before the storm of cramming for finals

[Speaker 2] Yeah, same with us, I hate finals, I'm so bad at revising! Once they are all done we should go on a weekend away somewhere to celebrate!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe we can head out west and visit some National Parks.  I love to get outside and enjoy nature.  Do you do any backpacking or camping?

[Speaker 2] It's not something I've really done much, but I'd be up for giving it a go! You'll have to give me some help buying the gear though, I'd have no idea where to even begin!

[Speaker 1] I've got some stuff you could borrow that would be good for a first trip.  I haven't been to Grand Teton yet, and I have been looking for a good excuse to do a little backpacking there.  Maybe we could do that. I will ask a couple of my other friends to see if they would be interested.  It's great to go with a group.

[Speaker 2] Oh amazing, thank you so much, I wouldn't have much spare money to buy a lot of stuff anyway so that will help massively! Grand Teton sounds great, I've never been there either.

[Speaker 1] It's funny, I know a lot of philosophical types that love the outdoors. It seems to be a great place to open you mind and let your thoughts runs.  I've had some of my most enlightening moments sitting around a campfire under the stars.  I think you'll love it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's true, it might open up a whole new experience for me, maybe it will be something I do a lot more of in the future!


I own a cat.
I like tacos.
I love folk metal.
I watch a movie sundays evenings.
I talk in my sleep.

I work at a factory.
I enjoy jazz music.
I broke my nose when I was ten.
I ride my bicycle everywhere.

Milo is purring in my ear.

Mexican food is something that I enjoy eating.

I enjoy lively music.

I like to spend the weekend watching films at home.

I mumble while asleep.

I am a labor worker.

I like blues and similar stuff.

I was in an accident when I was younger.

I do not have a car.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I am great, just got off working at the factory.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I am just here chilling with my cat eating tacos

[Speaker 2] I love tacos. Are you listening to any music?

[Speaker 1] Yes! You like folk metal? Love it

[Speaker 2] I do not listen to much folk metal. I listen to jazz mostly.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see. Sometimes they play jazz music in the movies I watch on sunday evenings

[Speaker 2] I broke my nose at a movie theater once when I was ten.

[Speaker 1] I dreamed I broke it once and was talking about it in my sleep

[Speaker 2] That's so funny. I think I heard a similar story at a bike shop before.

[Speaker 1] So what else do you like?

[Speaker 2] I love the environment. I ride my bike wherever I go.

[Speaker 1] You sound fun! Maybe you should come watch a movie with me on sunday night

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, but sundays I work at the factory.

[Speaker 1] Okay, you will have to come over another night for tacos then

[Speaker 2] As long as your tacos taste good haha

I have a cat and I like tacos.

I love folk metal.

I like watching movies on Sunday evenings.

I work at a factory. I work on sundays.

I love tacos.

I don't listen to folk metal. I like jazz music.

I broke my nose at a movie theatre when I was ten.

I love the environment. I like riding my bike.

[Speaker 1] Are you having a nice time off work? Did you have tacos for dinner?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's nice to relax. Of course we had tacos--Taco Tuesday!

[Speaker 1] It must be boring to work on Sundays.

[Speaker 2] It's not boring to work on Sundays but I miss chances to hang out with friends. Did you watch a movie this weekend?

[Speaker 1] Yes.  I spent Sunday evening watching thriller movies.  I pick a different theme each week.  What kind of tacos did you make?

[Speaker 2] We had hardshell tacos with black beans and salsa verde. What's your movie theme for next week?

[Speaker 1] I am watching Lifetime movies next Sunday.  Those tacos sound yummy.  Do you make a different type each week?

[Speaker 2] It all depends on what we have on hand. We had a lot of black beans cause they were on sale at Kroger. We'll probably have black beans for the next few weeks.

[Speaker 1] Wouldn't that get repetetive?  Or do you really llike black beans?

[Speaker 2] It's comfort food. We don't need too much variety when the old favorites are so good. You know what to expect, and you save money by buying in bulk.

[Speaker 1] Good thinking.  I love carnitas on soft taco shells.  I might make some next Sunday for my movie.

[Speaker 2] You could watch some Mexican movies while eating Mexican food--make a theme of the movie and the meal!

I have a cat.

I love folk metal.

I love carnitas with tacos.

I work at a factory. I work on sundays.

I love tacos.  I like black beans.

I shop at Kroger.

[Speaker 1] Did you find any more deals at Kroger this weekend?

[Speaker 2] No, it was pretty much the same as last week.

[Speaker 1] Kroger seems like an expensive store.

[Speaker 2] It is a bit more expensive but the quality of the produce is great. Did you watch a good movie on Sunday?

[Speaker 1] No, not this Sunday.  Ironically, I had to work@

[Speaker 2] That's too bad that you had to work. If you don't shop at Kroger's, where do you shop?

[Speaker 1] It wasn't too bad, working on Sunday.  It was quiet, laid back and time flew.  I shop at Walmart for my groceries.

[Speaker 2] I shop there too. One time I was at Walmart someone had spilled something all over the floor. I didn't notice and I fell.

[Speaker 1] Ohh, that it too bad.  I hope you didn't get hurt too bad.

[Speaker 2] I broke my elbow. Have you ever broken anything?

[Speaker 1] No, knock on wood!  Did you sue them for negligence?

[Speaker 2] No as it would have been too hard to prove how long the spill was on the floor.

I have a cat.

I love folk metal.

I love carnitas with tacos.

I do not shop at Kroger.

I have a job. I don't mind working. I shop at Walmart.

I work at a factory. I work on sundays.

I love tacos.  I like black beans.

I shop at Kroger. I can afford expensive produce.I sometimes shop at Walmart. I broke my elbow after I slipped and fell at Walmart. I did not sue Walmart because proving they were liable seemed difficult.

[Speaker 1] Kroger had some better deals today.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? Anything worth venturing out there?

[Speaker 1] I got some cat food. It was an alright deal, but I much prefer shopping at Walmart.

[Speaker 2] For obviously reasons, I try to avoid walmart at all costs. Most of the time they are better deals on Amazon, in my experience. How is your cat doing?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that makes sense. My cat is doing alright, she's still a kitten so she's still learning commands and such. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I have a dog, he's pretty well behaved except when storms are blowing in. He then runs around the house and whines and pants.

[Speaker 1] That's cute. My cat doesn't mind storms, she is pretty chill for the most part. What is your dog's name?

[Speaker 2] His name is Dexter.... after the show! He has a very odd personality, and the name seemed like the right fit.

[Speaker 1] That is a lovely name for a dog. My cat's name is Grace, not named after anything, just liked the name. Although, after getting to know her, she is not all that graceful.

[Speaker 2] Haha! That's too funny. Irony at it's finest. I think it's so cool how animals have such weird little personalities.

[Speaker 1] Yes! She is quite the crazy kitty but her odd personality is what makes her so loveable.

[Speaker 2] That's adorable! Does she like to be held and cuddled?


In the past, I spoke to many people every day.

I am happily retired.

I have a lot of money.

I got it and now I am a multi millionaire.

I want to win a lot of money.

I have trust issues.

I spend most of my spare time trying to improve the town.

I practice witchcraft but no one knows.

My family is smart.

[Speaker 1] I do not work because I won the lottery. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I work at a community garden center, and do some volunteering at an animal shelter.

[Speaker 1] I love animals and plants.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah me too, my parents were a huge influence in my life.

[Speaker 1] I have an ok relationship with mine but not that close anymore.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I keep a couple secrets from mine. I'm wiccan and have not told them.

[Speaker 1] Mine is jealous of my winnings.

[Speaker 2] At least they aren't science deniers like mine.

[Speaker 1] I couldn't stand that.

[Speaker 2] Yeah growing up with them made me very suspicious. I don't trust anything.

[Speaker 1] That would be difficult to deal with.

[Speaker 2] Do you have anything difficult to deal with?

[Speaker 1] Not anymore. I used to be poor, though.

[Speaker 2] Good thing you won the lottery, huh.

[Speaker 1] Yes. I was at the end of my rope when I won.

[Speaker 2] Has the money made your life easier?


I love to jog when the moon is out.
I like to listen to music.
I like to study.
I love italian food.
I am a loner.

My vacations have all been on land.

My partner and I love learning new hobbies.

I am plotting going to germany sometime soon.

I'm a shopaholic.

I'm a larger female.

[Speaker 1] When its dark outside I love walking at night. Hello

[Speaker 2] Hi, I love dancing with my boyfriend

[Speaker 1] Can we dance in the tune of my favorite band dream theater?

[Speaker 2] Sure why not? I dance to everything

[Speaker 1] I also love dancing while reading my books it makes me feel alive

[Speaker 2] I would love to go on a cruise, have you ever been on one?

[Speaker 1] No not yet but I love to while eating my pizza.

[Speaker 2] Pepperoni?? That's my favorite

[Speaker 1] Yes I love hawaiian pizza also like me just being myself like pizza.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any hobbies? Shopping is my guilty pleasure

[Speaker 1] None I just love being myself that is why I don't have any hobbies

[Speaker 2] You must be a really cool person lol

[Speaker 1] Yes some say I'm young dumb and broke like a high school kid.

[Speaker 2] Lol well that's not nice

[Speaker 1] Why being a high school kid is fun right?

[Speaker 2] I guess cause you have no worries of the real world


I've male pattern baldness.
I am a classily trained chef.
I was born in baton rouge.
My mother doesn't! Ove me.

My motor never stops running.

I want to take her on vacations one day.

I got off the road when I married my sweetheart.

My father was a driver himself.

I wish my hair wouldn't fall out.
I'm the bomb at food making.
I lived in the south.
I had a rough childhood.

I have a ton of energy.

I hope she enjoys tourist like activites.

I stopped traveling after marrying my love.

My dad drove a truck.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I'm well trying to make my motor stop it never does lol

[Speaker 1] Thar does not sound any fun. Where are you from, I am from baton rough

[Speaker 2] I am a truck driver an stopped driving when I married.

[Speaker 1] I work as a classically trained chef for a living.

[Speaker 2] Oooohhh me an my sweetheart love to eat

[Speaker 1] As a chef I loved to eat too. My main health problem is I suffer from baldness.

[Speaker 2] My dad use to drive for a living also.

[Speaker 1] Funny you mention your dad. My mom never loved me.

[Speaker 2] We have to come try it out where you a chef at? Sorry you bald.

[Speaker 1] Living with male patterned baldness is hard.

[Speaker 2] Wow I'm sorry to hear that.

I am from Baton rough.

I work as a classically trained chef.

I love to eat and my main health problem is baldness.

My mother never loved me.

I have a motor.

I an a truck driver but stopped driving when I got married.

I love to eat.

My dad also drives for a living.

[Speaker 1] I am feeling really down about my mother can we talk?

[Speaker 2] Yes, absolutely. What's going on?

[Speaker 1] I keep trying to get over it, but her lack of love continues to affect my, my decisions, and my relationships.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry, that's really rough. When I was a truck driver, I would see all kinds of people abandoned by loved ones while on the road. How are you dealing with it?

[Speaker 1] Wow, that is terrible. I am sure you have seen a lot. I don't know. Right now I am really depressed and feeling hopeless. I try not to let her get me down so much, but I still try to get love from her and she is still so cold to me. It is really painful.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you should try moving on from her, and focus more on yourself you and your food. Any new recipes you're working on?

[Speaker 1] Cooking is something that brings me joy and can be cathartic for me, when it isn't stressful. I know you appreciate good food like I do. Thanks for listening. Sorry for being such a downer.

[Speaker 2] It always helps to talk out your problems...and maybe eat your feelings a little too every now and then. LOL! I think that's one reason why I like food so much too

[Speaker 1] Thank you. Eating away the emotion is not a bad idea. :) To answer your question, I haven't been working on anything new lately, but you are motivating me to get creative and do some cooking. What is your favorite meal?

I am from Baton rough.

I work as a classically trained chef. Cooking makes me feel better.

My mother never loved me. I am feeling depressed.

I haven't been doing anything new.

I have a motor.

I love to eat.

My dad also drives for a living.

[Speaker 1] Have you eaten anything particularly good in the last week?

[Speaker 2] I tried to make sushi. It turned out pretty good if I can say that without bragging.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Thats one thing that I have never really done. Did you get the fish locally?

[Speaker 2] As fresh as I could. I live by the ocean and talked to the local shop that sells fish to the local sushi places. My favorite sushi ingredient is avocado. Could not have a good roll without it. Did you know that some people use it to help with balding?

[Speaker 1] What do they use to combat balding! The whole thing has me freaked out. I'm interested in all possible solutions.

[Speaker 2] Avocados! supposedly you can spread it on your scalp and it helps grow hair.

[Speaker 1] Really! Who knew? I'll have to read up on it. How is married life treating you?

[Speaker 2] change my friend. Change in a good way. She centers my world and I do not miss the open road but miss her when she is away. It was actually a surprise sushi diner for her that I made the other day! brownie ppoints

[Speaker 1] That sounds refreshing. Good to hear. So you don't miss the road at all? I would miss the opportunity to wander around finding new food!

[Speaker 2] Hey I use to love driving to new places and trying the local eats. Dont get me wrong. But a good woman and a warm bed. What more could a man ask for. Have you been dating much lately?

[Speaker 1] Not really. I should, it would make me happy I think. Just haven't found the right person. Where did you meet your wife?

[Speaker 2] funny enough would she served me at one of my stops to eat while driving. I think she clued in when I would show up to eat almost every day. So we got to talking and I got the guts to ask her out. That was almost 5 years ago now. I was so lucky to find the right person

I am from Baton rough.

I haven't been doing anything new.

I have never made sushi.

I am not dating anybody.

I have a motor.

I love to eat.

My dad also drives for a living.

I am a good cook. I buy fish from a local place by the ocean. I live by the ocean. My favorite ingredient in sushi is avocado. I enjoy making sushi.

I have a wife. I used to travel a lot. I love driving to new places but wanted to settle down with a woman. My wife was a waitress. I have known her for almost 5 years.

[Speaker 1] What else do you like to cook?

[Speaker 2] I like to use my skills on the grill.  Any type of meat or a veggie kabob is good.  I have this amazing rub that I use on steaks and burgers that everyone seems to love.

[Speaker 1] Is the rub also good on the local fish you buy?

[Speaker 2] No, this rub is really only good for red meat.  I use other seasonings on the fish, but mostly use that for sushi, not grilling.  Do you use any rubs when making fish?  I haven't found anything to make grilling it worth my while yet.

[Speaker 1] I eat a lot of fish for the omega 3 oils. I have put a rub on fish and grilled it.

[Speaker 2] Is it any good?  My wife would probably love it if I started grilling fish more instead of all the red meat.  I know it's a lot healthier.

[Speaker 1] I enjoy it, its a BBQ style rub. You'll need a hearty fish steak to hold up on the grill. I use tuna.

[Speaker 2] I'm not a huge fan of cooked tuna.  I prefer salmon more.  Do you think that would work?  I don't know how I feel about BBQ with fish.

[Speaker 1] I think Salmon would work great. You could always leave off the rub and go with traditional lemon and garlic. I use butter as well. I know this is defeating the "health" aspect, but its worth it.

[Speaker 2] Taste wise I totally agree.  I could always grill some asperagus to go with it.  That's a healthy option, hahaha.  It's been weird trying to think of so many things to cook.  When I was on the road I just ate take out all the time.  Even if I don't do the healthiest thing all the time, I've still lost a ton a weight since being off the road.

[Speaker 1] That's great! I've always heard that weight lose starts at home. Meaning, cook your own meals. Good thing you like to cook.

[Speaker 2] What is your go to meal to cook at home?  I'm always looking for new things to try.  I don't think my wife enjoys cooking as much as I do, so I would love to help out more in the kitchen.


I am eighteen years old.

I just bought my first car.

I've an eclectic taste in music.

[Speaker 1] Hello how old are you?

[Speaker 2] Hii how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] I'm good I just turned 18

[Speaker 2] I work in pizza shop I'm 21

[Speaker 1] Any famous pizza shop? I am looking for work

[Speaker 2] I worked in dominos pizza

[Speaker 1] Oh they have good pizza and the chicken alfredo is pretty good

[Speaker 2] Yes! What is your favourite dish?

[Speaker 1] Mexican mole, just wanted to share that I bought a car today

[Speaker 2] Oh great congrats I've only 1 bike

[Speaker 1] Are you still in school?

[Speaker 2] No I already told you I work in pizza shop what about you?

[Speaker 1] I am majoring in business

[Speaker 2] Oh that's really good. What type of business?

[Speaker 1] Making paint, I've a scholarship to florida state

[Speaker 2] Oh ok where are you from?

I am 18 years old. I am in school for business. I received a full scholarship to Florida State University.

I am looking for a job.

I like Domino's pizza and their chicken alfredo.

My favorite dish is Mexican mole. I just bought a car.

I am 21 years old.
I work at Domino's Pizza.
I do not have a car. I have a bike.
I am not in school.

[Speaker 1] I just bought an extra large pizza and two orders of alfredo, why am I like this?

[Speaker 2] Omg YUM! So much food. I'm jealous! lol

[Speaker 1] I'm jealous you get to make this stuff, I don't think I could be around it all day and not constantly eat. I am still having trouble finding a job that works around my schedule any ideas?

[Speaker 2] You should try to get a job at Domino's! They're almost always hiring and you could work nights after class. That is, if you can avoid spending your entire paycheck there

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be difficult, but just having a paycheck to spend would be nice. Do they pay their drivers well?

[Speaker 2] As good as anyone else, I guess. Fast food workers aren't paid great to begin with. But I know they get tips so I'm sure that helps!

[Speaker 1] That's true, I just like the idea of getting paid to drive around in my car listening to music.

[Speaker 2] Yes that would definitely be a perk! What kind of music do you like?

[Speaker 1] I have been on a hip-hop binge lately, but I enjoy most music except country. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I tend to gravitate mostly towards pop-country, but I actually listen to podcasts way more than music.

[Speaker 1] I have been trying to get into more podcast, any good recommendation on ones to listen to?

I am struggling to find a job, that fits in my life.

I am 21 years old.

I work at Domino's Pizza.

I do not have a car. I have a bike.

I am not in school.

I like pop-country music. But I prefer podcasts to music.

[Speaker 1] Who's your favourite pop-country music? Maybe I can find someone to help me like country music a little better.

[Speaker 2] I love Florida Georgia Line. I think you'd like them too.

[Speaker 1] Where are they from? If you recommend me some good songs I will give it a try! Which podcasts do you usually listen to?

[Speaker 2] They are from Nashville originally. Yeah I have a few songs you could try. My favorite is This is How We Roll you should check it out. I usually end up listening to political podcasts like NPR politics podcast and Pod Save America.

[Speaker 1] I will check it out and let you know how I like it. How is your job treating you? Are you happy?

[Speaker 2] It's ok. It's not what I want to do for the rest of my life but it pays the bills at least.

[Speaker 1] That is what matters, at least you have safe source of income. What would you like to do after you quit Domino's?

[Speaker 2] I really want to start my own Podcast and YouTube channel maybe stream on Twitch. That's my dream job.

[Speaker 1] It seems nice, a lot of poeple have become extremely successful being youtubers and twitch streamers

[Speaker 2] Yeah there is nothing better than making a living off of something that you are truly passionate about and love.

[Speaker 1] Agree on that! My dream job would be to become a famous rapper, I appreciate that form of art so much

[Speaker 2] I think you could do it! Have you ever written any raps?

I like hip-hop music and all other types of music but not country. I am interested in listening to more country music.

I listen to podcasts.

I want to be a famous rapper.

I am 21 years old.

I do not have a car. I have a bike.

I am not in school.

I prefer podcasts to music. I like pop-country music, especially Florida Georgia Line.

I like to listen to political podcasts.

I have no passion for my job. I work at Dominos but would really like to start my own Podcast and Youtube channel, or stream on Twitch.

[Speaker 1] I wrote my first rap last night.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome, man! How'd it go? You like a lot of music, so there's probably a lot you can draw from for that.

[Speaker 1] I think it went well! Gonna be releasing it on Spotify next week!

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear. So good to get started on it early, too. I wish I would've been putting stuff out at your age. Are you nervous about releasing it?

[Speaker 1] You make music too? And I'm not really nervous what will be will be!

[Speaker 2] Oh, no. What I'm wanting to get started on is podcasting, or maybe even making videos on youtube or streaming on twitch. I'm worried about how I'll start it up. I'd love for that to be my job, because the one I've got now just doesn't do anything for me. You know how that is--a job being good for your wallet, but not your soul.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I hate the way capitalism works in the U.S. !

[Speaker 2] You said it. That's something I'd like to talk about online. Do you think you'll work political messages into your raps as you come along?

[Speaker 1] Definitely, my raps talk a lot about social justice issues too. The world is a heavy place to be living in right now.

[Speaker 2] Oh, too true. I think people need something that speaks to them and gets them to think more about the world around them and their place in it. I think between your raps and my podcasts, we could reach some people.

[Speaker 1] Agreed! I have hope that one day the world will be a better place!

[Speaker 2] Me too. You've gotta pull up to the Dominos sometime soon. I'll get you some pizza on-the-house, and you can tell me how the writing process has been. Bout the only good thing about working here is the discount, so I might as well use it.

I am a comedian,.

[Speaker 1] I drew a really interesting cartoon yesterday.

[Speaker 2] What was the cartoon about?

[Speaker 1] It was about a comedian that got caught doing something he shouldn't have done. Sound familiar to you?

[Speaker 2] It sounds like me. Did you use me as your inspiration?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did you cheeky little monkey. You know what you did!

[Speaker 2] Right now I am missing it. I don't get what you are referring to...you know I am quite clumsy and messy. I do many things I should not do LOL

[Speaker 1] I guess it's just a mystery why you weren't wearing pants in the cartoon.

[Speaker 2] Oh my God. I told you, it happened that night only because I was too drunk! I can't stand whisky and when I drink it, I lose the control of myself

[Speaker 1] I heard all about it. You were yelling, "My mommy made me do it! My mommy made me do it!".

[Speaker 2] I hate you! I thought we were friends! Let's make a deal, at least. If you ever gonna sell this cartoon, we share your profit...What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I'm not selling this. I'm going to paint it on one of the walls of my house.

[Speaker 2] So when all your friends will come to visit you, will know about a clumsy and drunk comedian. If you want, I can sign it!

My job involves graphic design.

I want to work for dreamworks.

I sell cartoons and art for a living.

I am a comedian.

I am a clumsy person who makes mistakes often.

[Speaker 1] You have any good stories about your recent shows?

[Speaker 2] Yeah! Last Saturday there was a lady in the crowd booing me, but she was drunk so I was trying to ignore her. All of a sudden she jumps on stage and tries to yell jokes into the mic! Security had to take her out. Normally I would be upset, but I thought it was pretty funny.

[Speaker 1] Whoa! That's insane and hilarious. I bet it'll make good material for your act, though. How'd the crowd react?

[Speaker 2] The crowd was super into it. I think it was distracting at first, and they felt bad for me. But once security took her away kicking and screaming they all laughed and cheered! What makes it even crazier is that I was recording that performance for my YouTube channel, so I'll have that memory forever haha.

[Speaker 1] That's amazing! Send me the link and I'll share it on Facebook. I can't wait to see it.

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much for always supporting me, it means everything to me. The cartoon you drew of me is posted in my office so every time I film a new video people get to see it! I've had  several people ask me where I got it and I always send them to your Instagram and Facebook so they can reach out to you for commissions.

[Speaker 1] Hey, thanks. I appreciate that. I'm really flattered you like it. I've been taking an online class for animation. I'm hoping to start building those skills that I'll need for Dreamworks.

[Speaker 2] Have you looked into any internships lately? I have a friend who's a recruiter for Dreamworks, is it okay if I send her your info so you two can chat? Even if now's not the right time, maybe she can give you some insight and feedback on what you would need to get in.

[Speaker 1] Oh man! Yes please. That would be amazing! THANK YOU. I really appreciate that. I'll take you out for drinks as a thank you...but you have to keep your pants on.

[Speaker 2] Haha, deal! You know I can't turn down a good drink. There's a new bar opening up above the comedy place I do my shows at every weekend, they're having their grand opening next Saturday. We should go then!

[Speaker 1] Let's do it! Do they serve food? We could get dinner there also.

[Speaker 2] Yep, all the bar food you can think of! They have pizza, wings, fries, just about everything. I'm friends with the new cook there and he let me try their wings, you're going to love them!

My job involves graphic design.

I want to work for dreamworks.

I draw cartoons. I drew the cartoon about you. I sell cartoons and art for a living.

I have Facebook. I am supportive of you and will share it on Facebook. I drew a cartoon of you. I have Instagram too where I share my drawings.

I am looking for an internship.

I am a comedian. I play shows. My show last Saturday  had a drunk lady in the crowd booing  me and she jumped on the stage. I have a YouTube channel where I recorded that last crazy performance and the security took the lady away.  My last show's crowd was super into it.

I was not wearing pants because I was drunk. I like to drink.

My office has a drawing of your cartoon you gave me. My friend is a recruiter for Dreamworks. My friend can give you some insight and feedback.

My show is a comedy show that I do every weekend. My comedy place has a bar that just opened above and we can go.

I am friends with the new cook at the bar. I like their wings.

[Speaker 1] Someone commented on a video I posted of you on Facebook. I have to tell you what he said.

[Speaker 2] I hope it was one of my comedy sets?

[Speaker 1] You bet it was! The commenter thought the drunk lady incident was absolutely hilarious, and wants to take all of his friends to see your next show!

[Speaker 2] Wow Thank you! I really appreciate the support!

[Speaker 1] You're very welcome. I've got an idea to make this guy a lifelong super-fan. Do you want to hear it?

[Speaker 2] I am on the edge of my seat!

[Speaker 1] Go ahead and DM this guy on Facebook and offer him a free front-row seat to your next show. Offer to take a picture with him and autograph a shirt before or after his show. He'll worship you for the rest of his life.

[Speaker 2] Brilliant! I totally will. What would I do without you?

[Speaker 1] Haha, you get most of the credit here. This video wouldn't have been a thing if you didn't go out of your way to perform that last show to begin with.

[Speaker 2] I will take that, humbly and graciously!

[Speaker 1] Haha, you're a cool dude. By the way, where in your office did you hang that cartoon I sent you a while back?

[Speaker 2] Right above my desk! It makes me smile every day.

I am one year older than 28.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, nice to meet you!

[Speaker 2] Same to you. How are you

[Speaker 1] Great! How are you? Do you have any cool hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Good. I love to ride my bike, sometimes hike.

[Speaker 1] Cool! I'm boring, just like watching tv and sitting on the couch all day.

[Speaker 2] To each their own! I always listen to pearl jam. You have a favorite band?

[Speaker 1] I usually just listen to whatever is playing on the radio.

[Speaker 2] That's cool too. They have good stuff

[Speaker 1] Yes. What do you do for a living? I make cars!

[Speaker 2] I like to stay up all night so I write novels. I am still young.

[Speaker 1] It is good that you are following your dream while young!

[Speaker 2] Yes. I agree. And I will continue to do so.

[Speaker 1] Good! I have to go in a bit for dinner. Mac and cheese, my favorite!

My favorite band is Pearl Jam.

I am a young novelist.

[Speaker 1] Have you written any novels recently?

[Speaker 2] I am in the process of writing one now.

[Speaker 1] What is it about if I may inquire? is it related to your love of bikes and hikes?

[Speaker 2] No, but it is related to my fav band Pearl Jam.

[Speaker 1] Thats interesting, i haven't heard much of Pearl Jam! do you have any recommendations of songs from them?

[Speaker 2] Actually Jeremy is a good song about teen depression.  My novel touches on that, it is for young adults.  An inspirational book.

[Speaker 1] I'll make sure to give it a look! Thank you for the recommendation. How long roughly do you feel until the book is ready for publish?

[Speaker 2] I have the outline and a rough draft done.  Probably about another six months.

[Speaker 1] Thats very cool indeed. I once wanted to write a book, a fantasy one but I never got around to it.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting.  I didn't imagine a engineer wanting to be a novelist.  People call me a starting artist all the time!

[Speaker 1] I think thats a great combo. perhaps one day you'll mix both the engineering and the book writing to make a Engineering book

[Speaker 2] No.  I meant your job.  Sorry for the confusion!

I like watching tv.

I am an automotive engineer.

I like mac and cheese.

I do not know much about the band Pearl Jam.

My favorite band is Pearl Jam.

I am a young novelist. I write novels. I am writing a young adult novel.

[Speaker 1] I looked into Pearl Jam, they are great! Any other band recommendations?

[Speaker 2] Can't go wrong with a bit of Led Zeppelin too.. what kind of music do you like?

[Speaker 1] I don't really listen to much music, I prefer to watch tv. Do you have a favorite tv show at the moment?

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, I like watching crime documentaries on Netflix, do you watch Netflix? it gives me inspiration for my writing sometimes too which is great.

[Speaker 1] I love Netflix, I am more interested in history related shows, but I do occasionally watch crime documentaries!

[Speaker 2] I love a history show, I like watching things on ancient civilizations too, so how is work right now?

[Speaker 1] It's been pretty busy lately, but I love what I do so I wouldn't change that for the world! How has your writing been coming along?

[Speaker 2] That's good, yeah can imagine that keeps you pretty busy! Yeah, it's going well but sometimes I need a break when I experience writers block, that's when I find myself getting lost in music or a good documentary! so I remember you said you like mac and cheese? do you have a good recipe you could share with me later? I seem to burn it every time I make it..

[Speaker 1] Yes! I make a four cheese mac and cheese that I think you would love! The trick is getting the perfect ratios of each cheese.

[Speaker 2] That sounds so nice! I always love a four cheese pizza so I imagine in a mac and cheese it's the bomb! sounds like you know your stuff.

[Speaker 1] I have kind of always wanted to open up a mac and cheese restaurant, but I have no idea how to do that.

[Speaker 2] That would be nice, with wings too? can never go wrong with some wings. I have a friend who has their own restaurant maybe they could guide you on what your first steps should be, I think it would be a success, you've always been passionate about your cooking.

[Speaker 1] I just watched a great crime documentary on Netflix!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? They have some really great crime documentaries on Netflix! There have been quite a few I've enjoyed extensively. As you know Pearl Jam is my favorite band have you heard their song "Pearl Jam- Daughter"  ?

[Speaker 1] Have you seen The Road She Took? It is about this woman who basically just disappeared. There is a suspicious looking guy, but ZERO evidence. And No body! I do not know that song, but it sounds like I need to check it out.

[Speaker 2] I'll also have to check out that documentary I've never heard of it. Do you know the show Vikings? Apparently Netflix is doing a sequel series called Vikings: Valhalla just for Netflix! I'm so excited for that to come out! I love shows like that!

[Speaker 1] I have not seen that, but it does sound fascinating. I love that so many viking warriors were women.

[Speaker 2] I don't think the original Vikings show is on Netflix but it's an amazing show and there's definitely tons of women warriors on that show. Some of coolest characters on it were women!

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! Does it go into details about their burials? I am very interested in how highly honored they were considering the patriarchy that is our society.

[Speaker 2] There's a few scenes where some of the main characters get sent off to the after life but they're put on rafts they built then sent out into the sea and they shoot fire arrows lighting it on fire watching it burn away as their spirit goes to Valhalla.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! That sounds really interesting...and way less depressing than the documentaries I have been watching. I hate when it is all still a mystery.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure how realistic it was to real life it's a TV show but it was definitely dramatic watching their bodies burn as the rafts drift out to sea.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like the kind of burial I want! Do they usually do it at night so the flames fill the dark sky?
