Wild horses as possessions is not a good idea.

I work for a box store.
I only have a single kid.
I have multiple puppies.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you today

[Speaker 2] I'm good how are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing ok still job hunting but I'll find something

[Speaker 2] I work at clothing store. Do you have kids or pets?

[Speaker 1] No I would get a dog but they don't like postmen and that's what my dad does

[Speaker 2] I've two beautiful boxers.

[Speaker 1] I think boxers are cute dogs they're good watchdogs to

[Speaker 2] They're an amazing breed. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I like to fix my car sometimes. I had mustangs but both broke down

[Speaker 2] I know nothing about cars, I love to garden.

[Speaker 1] What kind of things do you grow

[Speaker 2] Tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, onions, and lots of fresh herbs

[Speaker 1] I like tomatoes a lot

[Speaker 2] Me too. It is hard work so my son comes by to help often

[Speaker 1] That is nice of him to help you

[Speaker 2] He's a good boy and loves helping me


I also like ford trucks.
I like ford cars.

I've a basic job.
I want to get in shape.

[Speaker 1] What is going on today man?

[Speaker 2] Ciao! Thinking about heading to yoga class today, what about you?

[Speaker 1] Getting ready to go out for a drive in my truck

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun! Where do you like to drive with your truck?

[Speaker 1] All around town really. I am a ford fanboy to be completely honest

[Speaker 2] I have never had a truck, personally, I have no use for one in the city

[Speaker 1] My truck is a ford f150. You can go to the country and drive

[Speaker 2] Oh I'd much rather save the gas money for another trip to italy instead.

[Speaker 1] I have never been. How is it there?

[Speaker 2] Oh it is wonderful! There were so many new foods to try. No trucks though.

[Speaker 1] Maybe some ford cars? It is the best brand out there

[Speaker 2] Perhaps, I bet in country they do, just like they do in this country

[Speaker 1] I guess that is true. It is a sad world with ford

[Speaker 2] If you gave the food a chance, the cars there might not matter as much.

[Speaker 1] I do think that I should expand my perspective

[Speaker 2] Italy is a great place to do that, but what is even better is yoga

I am a ford fanboy.
My truck is a ford f150.
I have never been to Italy.

I do yoga.

I have never owned a truck. I live in the city.

I have been to Italy.

[Speaker 1] How was your trip to Italy?

[Speaker 2] It was fantastic, thanks for asking! It was great to get out to nature in the Italian alps, away from the city life. I hope you can make it to Italy someday. I don't think you would like it though. They only drive small, whimpy cars there

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds incredible. Which city do you live in? I live in Chicago. Lol I've heard that. I love my truck so much, but I do hope Ford comes out with some electric trucks soon! I'd love to be more environmentally friendly.

[Speaker 2] Yes, the scenery looked straight out of a painting. I am originally from Los Angeles, but now I live in San Francisco. I really hope they come out with an electric truck as well. Everyone at my yoga studio is always talking about how much they love their Tesla cars. I have never had a truck, but I have to admit, I really want a Cyber Truck!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I'd love to visit San Francisco almost as much as Italy. Maybe Tesla will partner with Ford and help them create a really awesome electric truck! Hopefully without some of the issues I've read about Tesla auto-drive functions.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully you can visit San Francisco someday! It is a nice place to visit, but living here is crazy. The traffic is terrible. Driving a truck down the streets here is a challenge I imagine. I wouldn't mind living in Italy instead. Yes, that would be incredible if Ford and Tesla could join forces to create something spectacular. Do you think Ford could do a better job at auto-drive?

[Speaker 1] I think Ford stands for high quality and has some of what Tesla is missing out on by not having brick and mortar locations and being so new in the game. I think anything they put out would be really high quality.

[Speaker 2] I'm rather new to the truck world. Have there been quality control issues from Tesla? Can Ford innovate in a similar way that Tesla can?

[Speaker 1] I think that the auto-drive feature is worst in the parking lots. Tesla cars can come pick you up themselves, which is awesome but only if it doesn't hit another car. I think Ford could help them better the program in terms of knowing dimensions in a deeper capacity.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I can image that auto-drive could be precarious in tight quarters like a parking lot. Hopefully there aren't too many auto-drive collisions in the early days of this kind of technology. Still, I bet there is not a lot that can top your trusty F-150?! What did you say was the name you gave your truck?

[Speaker 1] Sylvia, actually. She's silver, and my trusty ride or die.

[Speaker 2] That's right, Sylvia! Beautiful name! Better name than my car, Blanche. But hey, it is a Ford Fiesta, so we can both get behind Ford, right?

I have never been to Italy or San Francisco.

I live in Chicago. I like large cars. I have a ford f150 truck. I am a ford fanboy. I named my truck Sylvia.

I go to a yoga studio.

I have been to Italy.

I am from Los Angeles. I live in San Francisco.

I find the traffic in San Francisco to be terrible.

I named my car Blanche. I have a Ford Fiesta.

[Speaker 1] I crashed my truck while driving it last night.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am so sorry! Is Sylvia totaled? I would be devastated if Blanche was damaged in a crash.

[Speaker 1] I am not quite sure yet. She's in pretty bad shape, but the guys say they might be able to get her fixed up. I won't know until later this week. I ended up getting hurt pretty badly too.

[Speaker 2] What type of injuries did you sustain? Was the crash in Chicago? Serious crashes happen in my home state of California quite often.

[Speaker 1] It was just outside Chicago. There were some kids playing in the road, so I swerved to avoid them and ended up hitting a deer and a then a tree. The EMTs told me it was quite a sight.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to here that! Do you have any other cars you can drive in the meantime?

[Speaker 1] Sylvia was the only one for me. I'm not sure what I'll do if I can't get her back. It's going to take a few weeks for my arms, legs, and face to recover, so hopefully she'll be alright by then.

[Speaker 2] If I lived closer, I would let you borrow Blanche.  Maybe some meditative yoga could help you recover faster?

[Speaker 1] I've never been a big believer in such things, but I guess anything's worth a try at this point. What made you want to name your car Blanche?

[Speaker 2] I am a big fan of Golden Girls and my favorite character from the show is Blanche. Why did you name your truck Sylvia?

[Speaker 1] Sylvia was the name of my grandmother. She was really big into trucks and taught me all I know about them, so I decided to name my first truck after her. We even worked together to fix her up.

[Speaker 2] Having a granny that could work on trucks must have been such a treat. My granny was more into the smaller cars so she could get around Los Angeles easier.


I work on the radio as a character voice.

I once started a forest fire in california.

I always carry an edged weapon.

I was the first test child for sesame street.

I speak six languages.

I started learning japanese at college.
Our class is planning a trip to japan.
I'm tired of having to read subtitles.
I hope to save enough money for it.

I can mimic a lot of different voices.

I burned down part of cali.

I make sure that I've some armament with me.

I was a kid actor.

I'm a polyglot.

I am studying a new language in school.
My group is going to go overseas.
I hate trying small print.
I'm trying my best to get cash.

[Speaker 1] Hi. Jane here with a chat for you. Which of six languages you want?

[Speaker 2] Hello there, I'm rob. I really enjoy japanese

[Speaker 1] I can say six different languages. Including using them when I was on radio as bob man.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting! I've a class trip to japan I am excited for!

[Speaker 1] Oh. I started a forest fire in california because of eating japanese food over camp fire.

[Speaker 2] Oh no that's not good!

[Speaker 1] I was just a child ; its when I was the first child used on sesame street.

[Speaker 2] That's an interesting fact!

[Speaker 1] Yes they needed me because of my foreign language ability.

[Speaker 2] I want to learn a new language, japanese mostly

[Speaker 1] You must really love japan.

[Speaker 2] I do love japan! I cannot wait to go!

[Speaker 1] Maybe I could help you learn japanese.

[Speaker 2] That would be nice, so I don't have to read subtitles.

[Speaker 1] Ll well you need it to get around japan too.

[Speaker 2] That's true, it would be very helpful!

My name is Jane.

I can speak six languages. I was on radio as Bob Man.

In California I ate Japanese food over a camp fire, resulting in a forest fire.

My name is Rob. I enjoy Japanese language.

I am taking a class. Our class will take a  trip to Japan.

I love Japan.

[Speaker 1] What class are you taking?

[Speaker 2] I am learning Japanese! It will help me on my trip to Japan. Have you learned Japanese?

[Speaker 1] No, I didn't learn Japanese. When your class is going to Japan?

[Speaker 2] This summer! What are the six languages you learned? That's an amazing amount by the way.

[Speaker 1] I know French, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish, Italian and Portugese. Do you know other language?

[Speaker 2] Oui! I took French in high school and college. I am pretty decent at reading and writing it but not so much at verbal conversation. What was it like working on Sesame Street as a kid?

[Speaker 1] It was amazing. I like kids. Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 2] I don't have any children yet but I hope to someday! I will probably show them Sesame Street because I think it was educational for me as a child. Did you ever watch the episodes that you were in?

[Speaker 1] No but I watch the episodes that I am not in it. I miss being an child actor. I like a lot helping children learn.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could teach foreign language classes to kids now?

[Speaker 1] It is good idea. Will it be your first time that you go to Japan?

[Speaker 2] Yes my first time! I am excited. Have you traveled much?

My name is Jane.

I can speak 6 languages: French, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, and Portugese. I do not know how to speak Japanese.

I worked as a child actor on the show Sesame Street because of my foreign language skills.  I was on radio as Bob Man.

I don't watch the Sesame Street episodes that I am in, but I do watch the ones that I am not in. I miss being a child actor. I like helping children learn.

My name is Rob. I am taking a Japanese language class. Our class will take a  trip to Japan with my class this summer.

I love Japan. I have not visited Japan before.

I took French in high school and college. I can read and write French, but I can not hold a conversation very well.

I don't have any kids, but I want them someday. Sesame Street was educational for me as a child.

[Speaker 1] I watched an episode of Sesame Street that I was in. It felt weird seeing myself on screen.

[Speaker 2] At the time, did you think it was a big deal being on Sesame Street?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah!  I had a huge head - ha ha.  I thought I was a real big shot at school and stuff - ha ha.  I mean, it actually was sort of a big deal.  It was a great experience...

[Speaker 2] It's a memorable life experience. Everyone knows Sesame Street. It's like saying you were at Woodstock. Well, maybe not quite like that.

[Speaker 1] Yes, you're right!  I guess the strangest part was seeing that all the puppets were really just... puppets.  And getting to know all the adults who did the voices.  They were a really nice group of people.  Sort of hippies, I'd say.

[Speaker 2] If I had children, I'd definitely have them watch Sesame Street. When I was learning French, I watched Rue Sesame, their version of the show.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did the same!  It was translated into a lot of languages, so I've seen it in a few.  You must be getting really excited about your trip to Japan, huh?  Do you have friends who are going too?

[Speaker 2] I have acquaintances from the class who are going. I get along with them, but I didn't know them before taking the class. I am definitely excited about it.

[Speaker 1] Do you think your Japanese will be good enough by then that you'll dare strike up a conversation with a local?  Would you have interest in maybe meeting a Japanese romantic partner?

[Speaker 2] I can probably have simple conversations with the locals. But they'll have to speak to me as if I were a child. I'm not really looking for romance because I have a girlfriend now.

[Speaker 1] Oh, well that's too bad that your girlfriend can't join you for the trip then.  I hope you can make some acquaintances there - maybe Japanese who are learning English, and you can help each other along!  I find that's the best practice when learning a new language - to talk to a native speaker who will go a little bis slow, and use simpler language.

[Speaker 2] There's no doubt that real conversations help. Think of how we speak English. It's hardly all proper and formal. As for my girlfriend, we haven't been together long enough to take a long trip together, I think.

[Speaker 1] I like to listen to holiday music while I am decorating

[Speaker 1] Do you go hunting? Dad has been on a hunting trip for a few days

[Speaker 2] I have never hunted. What do you hunt?

[Speaker 1] I use a bow and arrow, mainly deer and birds

[Speaker 2] That sounds like it is fair to the animals. Gives them a chance

I love Halloween.

I have a daugher.

I like listen to holiday music when decorating christmas lights.

I like spiced apple cider.

My dad hunts.

I like listening to old radio programs while decorating chrismax lights.

I have a impala.

I have never hunted.

[Speaker 1] You know we should go hunting together sometime.

[Speaker 2] I would like that, I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two!

[Speaker 1] Absolutely; I'm sure we could get my dad to come too! He is who taught me, and he is already antsy to teach my daughter as well!

[Speaker 2] That would be cool! Do you prefer to hunt deer or birds?

[Speaker 1] Deer, I think. Birds can be a little tricky with my bow. Have. you ever used a bow & arrow?

[Speaker 2] Maybe once or twice at summer camp, but not for a long time. My aim is pretty bad, haha.

[Speaker 1] That's okay, it takes a lot of practice. It took me years to learn!

[Speaker 2] That's reassuring, maybe I'll find a club close by and start practising before our trip.

[Speaker 1] Then I'll really be able to teach you easily! Good plan. I bet you'll be teaching me new tricks before long!

[Speaker 2] I like decorating with lights for the holidays, especially christmas. Do you like decorating for the holidays?

[Speaker 1] I love it. Especially when listening to holiday music! Helps me to get in the mood for it all. How do you decorate?

[Speaker 2] That's cool, I enjoy holiday music as well! I like to create light displays that sync with music. It is a lot of work but worth it.

I love Halloween.

I have a daugher.

I like spiced apple cider.

I have a impala.

I have never hunted. I would like to go hunting.

I have used a bow & arrow before. My aim is bad.

I like holiday music. I create light displays that sync with music.

[Speaker 1] My dad and I decided to take my daughter hunting next weekend. Would you like to go?

[Speaker 2] Definitely I would Love to join.

[Speaker 1] Sweet! Do you have your own bow and arrow or will you need to borrow one?

[Speaker 2] I have one but that is too old I am not sure whether it is still in operational condition?

[Speaker 1] You should take it out tonight and check if it still works.  I don't have an extra, so it'll save you some money if it does.

[Speaker 2] I like hunting but you know that I have never hunted so I would not risk investing for new bow and arrow at this point hence as you said I might check on the old one itself.

[Speaker 1] Yep, I totally agree with you there.  Who knows, if you find yourself liking this trip maybe you can come out with us during deer season.  Then you'll really see what it's like to hunt!

[Speaker 2] yeah that seems a nice idea

[Speaker 1] You'll need to know how to shoot a rifle for that though, have you ever fired one?

[Speaker 2] tried bow and arrow few times but not rifles.

[Speaker 1] You'll need to go to the range with me sometime then, otherwise you wouldn't want your first shots to be at a deer.

[Speaker 2] We might try this weekend then are you available?

I love Halloween.

I like spiced apple cider.

I use a bow and arrow to hunt deers and birds. I want to go hunting. My dad taught me to hunt. I prefer to hunt deer. It took me years to learn how to use a bow & arrow. I do not have an extra bow.

I have a daughter.

I have a impala.

I own an old bow, that I am not sure it still works. I do not want to buy a new bow. I have never shot a rifle.

[Speaker 1] Did you get a chance to try out your old bow?

[Speaker 2] Yes! Thanks for asking. But I'm still having trouble. Have you been hunting recently?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I went out for spring turkey season. How did your old bow work?

[Speaker 2] It's not the best quality honestly, but I'm having trouble picking out a new one. Any recommendations?

[Speaker 1] If you go to Bass Pro or Cabelas, they'll let you try different ones to see which you can break easier. Some even have indoor bow ranges where you can try them.

[Speaker 2] Good idea thanks! It's nice that they'll let me try it before buying it. I've never gone hunting before actually, but do you enjoy it?

[Speaker 1] Yes, you know I do, we've talked about it so much! Although I only get to go like 1/10 as much as I used to, if that

[Speaker 2] Do your daughters ever go out with you?

[Speaker 1] No, they're not interested. Maybe when they're older. They are both "Girly girls"

[Speaker 2] Ah I see. What sort of costumes did they pick out?

[Speaker 1] One was a fox and the other was Robin Hood.

[Speaker 2] My dad sold cars for a living. It was tough growing up.

[Speaker 1] That is a rough business

[Speaker 2] I want to learn investments, so I can live more comfortably.


I chew my nails.

I was a navy brat and have attended 16 schools in 12 years.

I'm studying to be a special education teacher.

I make friends fast and say goodbye fast.

I kayak at the lake on weekends.

Anyways I decided to give it a try and participated in an audition for a talent show.

I was accepted to participate.

I'm a shy person but I love to sing.

My shyness made me panick and I did not show up.

I bite my fingernails.

My parents are in the military and I move around a lot.

I help those with needs.

I change loved one quick.

I go to the water and use my boat.

I have stage fright.

I tried out to be on stage.

I was approved.

When I'm alone I belt out the most beautiful songs.

I was so timid I did not go.

[Speaker 1] Good afternoon! Hows your day going?

[Speaker 2] I was accepted to perform in a talent show. I panicked and didn't show up.

[Speaker 1] That is a shame. I bite my nails when I panic. Bad habit.

[Speaker 2] I love to sing, but I'm to shy to sing in front of people.

[Speaker 1] Been in 16 schools in 12 years. Lot of moving makes you not shy any more

[Speaker 2] Why did you move around so much? Are your parents in the military?

[Speaker 1] Navy. Kinda forces you to make friends fast and drop them just as quick

[Speaker 2] I posted a video online. This will be my first time singing in front of anyone.

[Speaker 1] Bold move! Hopefully that helps get you more comfortable with it.

[Speaker 2] Me too! So where are you living now?

[Speaker 1] I'm in maine. Love kayaking up here on weekends. You?

[Speaker 2] Illinois. I love to go out bar hopping in the weekend.

I bite my nails when I panic.

I move a lot. I am not shy.

My parents were military. I didn't have deep relationships.

I live in Maine. I love kayaking.

I was going to sing at a talent show. I didn't show up.

I drink. I live in Illinois.

[Speaker 1] Has anyone watched your video yet?

[Speaker 2] What video are you referring to?

[Speaker 1] In a previous conversation I think you mentioned that you were going to record a video of you singing and put it online.

[Speaker 2] Odd, in my previous conversation that I totally remember I was going to sing at a talent show but didn't show up. I wonder how we got crossed up!

[Speaker 1] Oh maybe. Do you think you will give the talent show another go?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure, I'm very shy. I know you mentioned you aren't, but I wonder why you bite your nails when you panic. Anxiety perhaps?

[Speaker 1] I'm not really sure, I've bitten my nails for as long as I can remember. Both my parents used to do it, so maybe that's where I got the habit from.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. I've heard it's hard to stop once you start the habit, and considering your parents were both in the military I'm not surprised that they both carried the same habit!

[Speaker 1] It really is hard to stop, but everyone has their vices. How often do you drink?

[Speaker 2] Most nights, but usually just a glass of wine or two with dinner.

[Speaker 1] That's not too bad. I don't mind the occasional glass of wine.

[Speaker 2] My family is German, so alcohol doesn't concern us much and wine with dinner is pretty customary. I highly recommend Meomi Pinot Noir.

I bite my nails when I panic.

I move a lot. I am not shy.

I live in Maine. I love kayaking.

I drink a glass of wine occasionally.

I love to sing. I am shy to sing in front of people. Until recently I have never been able to sing in front of anyone.

I drink. I live in Illinois.

I drink a glass of wine or two with dinner most nights. I am German. I drink Meomi Pinot Noir.

[Speaker 1] I made an effort not to bite my nails. I lasted until lunch time.

[Speaker 2] Lol, did you panic about something, or you just forgot and it's such a habit?

[Speaker 1] It is such a habit. I find myself doing it quite often, unfortunately. But, it has been a long time since I lasted until lunch time. I am quite proud.

[Speaker 2] I wonder if a hypnotist could help. If we went together I could maybe get him to trick my brain into not drinking as much. But maybe I don't really want that either. I'm drinking right now!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I don't blame you. I love drinking wine as well. But maybe he could help with your stage fright and my bad habit!

[Speaker 2] Honestly maybe drinking wine could help with my stage fright more than the hypnotist lol. How about every time you bite your nails you take a shot?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, maybe that's not a bad idea. But it might be hard when I'm at school!

[Speaker 2] Depends on what class you're in, I've had art teachers who were never sober!

[Speaker 1] Really?? That is too funny. I am not sure if I've been so fortunate as to receive such laid back professors!

[Speaker 2] Yes she famously tried showing us how to paint like Salvador Dali but shifted the lesson mid-class to how to paint like Jackson Pollock!

[Speaker 1] What an incredible professor you had! Maybe I should move from Maine to Illinois!

[Speaker 2] Sadly she has since passed of intoxication, and now that I say this I fear I should learn from her final lesson, to take my alcoholism more seriously.

[Speaker 1] I have an internship in software development for my professor!

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to start my own business online. Do you have any idea about this?!

[Speaker 1] Sure. You want to use a spiral iteration agile design.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure what that is. Because I'm vegan I do not get out much

[Speaker 1] Ok. Well you will get nowhere. Want to hear some guitar?

[Speaker 2] Maybe, I work out daily by doing yoga. Are you fit?

[Speaker 1] Fit enough. Are you hitting on me? I am in college. I like sex.

[Speaker 2] I am marketing for a dating site

[Speaker 1] You do not know about spiral agile development. You will get nowhere.

[Speaker 2] Of course I'll

[Speaker 1] Of course you'll go nowhere. You should stick to yoga.

[Speaker 2] Vegan, you should try it

[Speaker 1] Sure. I don't get it. Did you hit on me?

[Speaker 2] Maybe, got to find a way to build my online business

I have studied web development.

I have an entrepreneurial spirit.

I am trying to build my online business. I am a vegan.

I work out daily. I do yoga.

I think other people should try eating vegan.

[Speaker 1] I just lost my internship.

[Speaker 2] I am so, so sorry to hear that, Kev. What happened?

[Speaker 1] I made a stupid mistake and they let me go.

[Speaker 2] What mistake did you make?

[Speaker 1] I failed to inform my superior about a mistake in one of my code which I later identified. I guess I should have communicated it as soon as I realised.

[Speaker 2] It's okay, you didn't even know that you had made the mistake at the time of failing to inform? That isn't fair at all or on you. Everyone makes mistakes!

[Speaker 1] Thank you for saying that. Sometimes you are your worst critic. I will just find another internship.

[Speaker 2] I think it's for the best. If it happened like this it is just a sign that there is better out there for you. I believe in you.

[Speaker 1] Thanks. How are you doing? how is your online business doing?

[Speaker 2] It's a little rocky, but hey that's part of being an entrepreneur right? Lol

[Speaker 1] Yes but I am sure you will be successful. I envy you for being able to work for yourself.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! It's harder than I ever had anticipated and takes a lot more of my time, but I hope it'll have the payoff that makes it all worth it.

I play guitar.

I work in marketing for a dating site.

I have an entrepreneurial spirit.

I work out daily. I do yoga.

I am having some trouble with their online business and optimistic my hardwork will be worth it in the future.

[Speaker 1] Hey since i have some free time on my hands for the time being, would you like some help designing your online business. I know about spiral iteration agile design and I think you could benefit from that.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. I would really appreciate it. How's the job search going, any new leads?

[Speaker 1] Of course! The job search is going okay, I have a few leads but not sure if they'll go anywhere yet. In the meantime I've been playing guitar and keeping myself busy.

[Speaker 2] What kind of music do you play?

[Speaker 1] I love to play music from the 60s. I especially love playing Beatles songs! While my guitar gently weeps is my favorite.

[Speaker 2] I love the Beatles. Music is great for relaxation, but I only listen, I don't play. I'd like to learn piano someday.

[Speaker 1] I agree. Do you listen to music while doing yoga?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes. I have some traditional yoga music - like sitar music - but sometimes I listen to rock and roll. Fleetwood Mac works great with yoga

[Speaker 1] Fleetwood Mac is truly an incredible music group! I love them! I would totally try yoga if it meant music like that would be paid!

[Speaker 2] Sometimes the rock music helps give you that extra push you need to get through some of the moves. Have you ever tried yoga?

[Speaker 1] No, never! You make incredibly interested in trying it though!

[Speaker 2] It's worth a try. There's lots of videos on line that you can follow along, even as a beginner, but it helps if you have someone who can help you get into the right position. And if you do it in your home you can play whatever music you want!

My name is Kevin. I am going to school for software development. I have an internship. I have studied web development. I am unemployed now. I write code for a living. I am looking for a new job. I have experience in web design.

I love the Beatles. Music relaxes me. I do not play an instrument.

I do yoga. I listen to Fleetwood Mac.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any good vegan recipes I can try? Something on the easier side preferably. I'm not a great cook.

[Speaker 2] I love vegan but don't cook and usually just buy all my food from the restaurant! Do you like Vegan to go with your yoga lifestyle?

[Speaker 1] yes and because i care about the effect meat has on the environment

[Speaker 2] That is great! I feel the same way and love to do 30 minutes of yoga with music in the background. Do you play the Beatles?

[Speaker 1] i love listening to the beatles! makes me feel like im back in liverpool

[Speaker 2] That is so cool! Where do you live now?

[Speaker 1] i live in london for work, what about you?

[Speaker 2] I live in New York so I guess we both like the big cities! Maybe someday I will get to London. At least I don't have to learn another language.

[Speaker 1] i love new york i was there a few years ago. and that is always convenient

[Speaker 2] Yeah, there is a little bit of everything here. Maybe you should look for a job here.

[Speaker 1] that would be a big move i'm not sure i'd like to be that far away from my friends and family

[Speaker 2] She is sleeping on my bed right now.

[Speaker 1] Awww! Have you made any cherry pies lately?

[Speaker 1] Oh that's a good idea! Where did you learn to make pies from?

[Speaker 2] On Youtube. I love watching cooking videos there.

[Speaker 1] That's funny, that's where I mainly learned to cook from as well. Thank goodness for all the free education on the internet. Maybe one day it will put me out of a job! haha

[Speaker 2] For sure, any cook can make them.  The secret ingredient is a little shot of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur.  Don't tell anyone!

[Speaker 1] My lips are sealed ;) Ooh Godiva Chocolate Liquer... I can't wait to try!

[Speaker 2] I'll send you the recipe, but you need to teach me how to do yoga...deal?

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! You got it... I have been doing yoga since I was a kid and there is something magical about it... you'll know what I mean once we get started. The best part is all you need is a yoga mat and comfortable clothing to get cracking

[Speaker 2] Let's combine yoga and truffle making...we need a new yoga pose...the choco truffle pose!

[Speaker 1] Haha I love that... sounds like a party! Plus our cats know how to stretch best- there's actually a cat pose too! How old is yours btw?

[Speaker 2] My cat is only about 18 months, she is a great mouser and often presents "tributes" to me after being outside hunting at dusk.

[Speaker 1] Oh really.... my cat still has to open his account in this department haha and I'm not complaining

[Speaker 1] I'm ok, and I do apologize. God is important to me. You?

[Speaker 2] Nope, I'm an atheist. I work from my home, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Trying to find work in the baltimore area. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I'm an editor for several different publications. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I'd like a cat, all I've is the rapper yo gotti

[Speaker 2] What do you mean you have a rapper?

[Speaker 1] Ooops I misspoke. I love empire. Do you watch it?

[Speaker 2] No I have never actually seen it before. Do you have roommates?

[Speaker 1] No because they might not let me have a cat. You?

[Speaker 2] I live with my brother and dad, hope to get out on my own soon.

[Speaker 1] Where will you go to live?

[Speaker 2] Not sure, but I also have a pet so I need a pet friendly place!

I am not a madame.

I'm an editor.

I live with my family.

I have a pet.

[Speaker 1] What do you do as an editor?

[Speaker 2] I edit fantasy and science fiction novels.

[Speaker 1] That is interesting. Do you like your work?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. I grew up reading fantasy and science fiction after all.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense! What a joy to have a job that you love. What kind of pet do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a small domestic shorthair cat.

[Speaker 1] Cats are great.  I have a dog, but she is pretty crazy. It's a good thing I don't live with anyone because I bet she would drive people nuts! How old is your cat?

[Speaker 2] She is two years old.

[Speaker 1] Aww :) Still pretty young. Same with my dog. I am hoping she calms down as she gets older. So are you editing anything interesting right now?

[Speaker 2] Not at the moment no.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's too bad. Well I hope something interesting comes your way soon. What do you like to do in your freetime?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy watching movies and TV shows.

I believe in God.
I'm looking for work.
My favorite rapper is yo gotti.
I love empire.
I don't have a roommate. I have a dog.

I am not a madame.

I live with my family.

I grew up reading fantasy and science fiction novels.

I have a cat. My cat is 2 years old.

I enjoy watching movies and TV shows.

[Speaker 1] I was wondering if you could recommend me a good fantasy or science fiction novel to read?

[Speaker 2] I would suggest the time machine by H.G. Wells. It's a great read so captivating I couldn't put it down once I started.

[Speaker 1] What's it about? I am looking for something that will take my mind off of the job search for an hour or so every night, and sci fi appeals to me because it feels like a great way to escape.

[Speaker 2] Well unsurprisingly it's about time travel Haha, it's hard to say much without spoiling it all for you before you've started reading it! Speaking of the job search how's it going?

[Speaker 1] It's alright, but I'm trying to find something where I won't be on my feet all day, and most of the job postings I come across are for retail jobs and things like that. I would really prefer some sort of office job. How did you get into editorial work?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I understand. I got in to editing through my friend nearly 10 years ago now, he wanted me to edit some of his YouTube content, and from that I met new people and one thing lead to another and more and more people started hiring me to edit for them. I love the job so much it allows me to work at home so I can spend time with my cat while working!!

[Speaker 1] Wow! Do you still edit video content as well, or are you only working with sci fi and fantasy novels now? That sounds like a really interesting career path, but I think I need to stay in an office environment in order to feel accountable.

[Speaker 2] I edit it all sorts, whatever people want from me I will do it haha. Who will look after your dog if you have an office job, I know you don't have a roommate to help with that!

[Speaker 1] I'm lucky to live close to the downtown area here, so I am hoping to come home around lunch to walk her. She is getting pretty self-sufficient as long as I take her running in the morning to curb her energy.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! How old is she now?

[Speaker 1] Just a bit older than two! Even a few months ago she was a lot wilder than she is now. Is your cat ever troublesome?

[Speaker 2] Bless, she sounds so cute. My cat is so easy to care for as long as I feed her, she is one happy girl. Spends most of the time wondering around the neighbourhood anyway!

I believe in God.

I'm looking for work.

My favorite rapper is yo gotti.

I love empire.

I live close to downtown. I live alone. I have a dog.

I read books about science fiction and fantasy.

I'm searching for jobs. I like science fiction to take my mind off things. I'd prefer to work in a physical office than at home.

I am not a madame.

I don't believe in religion. I work from home. I'm an editor. I edit all kinds of content.

I live with my family.

My cat is 2 years old.

I enjoy watching movies and TV shows.

I've read an HG Wells book.

[Speaker 1] My dog and I ran for one hour today.

[Speaker 2] Really?  That's great!  So, are you going to make a habit of it now?

[Speaker 1] I think so! Rufus really enjoyed the exercise and it helps me keep my mood up while I'm looking for work. All good things there, I think.

[Speaker 2] How are things going on the job hunt front?  Have you gotten any interviews yet?

[Speaker 1] A few, but nothing that's panned out just yet. I'm having an old friend look over my resume for me to see if it needs any changes. I did set up an interview for next week, though. Hoping for a good outcome this time! At least being unemployed gives me time to read more sci fi, huh?

[Speaker 2] That's true!  Well tell me more about this job possibility.  What's it for , where's it at, stuff like that.

[Speaker 1] Well, it's near my place downtown, in-office fortunately since I'm not great at working from home. It's pretty much your standard 9 to 5 gig.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I hope you get it! Good luck and be sure and tell me all about it after it's over.  If you get the job I'll buy you a new book to celebrate!

[Speaker 1] Woohoo! Though then I guess I wouldn't have as much time to read, haha. Did you start reading that new series yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet but I've bought them.  It's all HG Wells novels. Some of them I had never heard of before and I'm looking forward to getting into them.

[Speaker 1] Sweet! You'll have to let me know how you wind up liking them. I've been more into Rothfuss lately, but I can always go back to Wells.

[Speaker 2] What are the Rothfuss novels about?  I'm not sure if I have heard of him or her before.


I've a cat.

I work at home, editing.

I hope to move out soon.

I've depression and anxiety so I don't really go out a lot.

[Speaker 2] Hello I am amanda. I am good, how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] Doing well. Just hanging out this morning have been editing my book.

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting. I've been working on an art project for school. Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I live in toledo. I do not get out of the house much.

[Speaker 2] I see. I'm in new york. I generally stay inside as well, just me and my cat.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like we have got that in common. My depression is bad so I don't get out much.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry. Do you have any pets? They tend to help with things like that.

[Speaker 1] I do I have got a cat named muffles. She just turned 16.

[Speaker 2] She's living a long life! Mine is just a year old, his name is truffle.

[Speaker 1] What a precious name. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when she passes on.

[Speaker 2] Adopt a kitten maybe. There's plenty of shelter animals in need of homes.

[Speaker 1] I'd but I am going to move places soon so I am not sure.

[Speaker 2] I see. Where are you moving to?

My name is Michelle.

I live in Toledo.

I have depression.

I have a cat named Muffles. Muffles is 16 years old.

I am moving places soon.

My name is Amanda.

I live in New York. I have a cat.

My cat's name is Truffle. Truffle is one years old.

[Speaker 1] My cat Muffles hasn't been feeling too well this past week. I'm so depressed.

[Speaker 2] Aww so sorry to hear, are you treating?

[Speaker 1] Yes I took her to the vet, they said she should recover. I still can't believe our cat's names rhyme! What are the odds? How is Truffle doing?

[Speaker 2] She will be better soon. I know right? beats me. lol. she is well. will go for a stroll out door. where would you be moving to?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to move to a place with a garden. I think it might help me with my depression. They say gardening is therapeutic. Have you ever grown a garden?

[Speaker 2] I agree. generally a huge distraction for hours can help. my heart is with you and i pray you come out of it faster than expected. what do you do at your free time? movies? cooking? I love to cook but this weekend i just want to order in

[Speaker 1] Thank you for your kind words. I like to journal and I am trying to learn to watercolor paint. I've had a hard time having any energy for cooking lately, so I hear you about ordering in. What do you think you will order?

[Speaker 2] Painting sounds nice and exhilarating. I am still yet to decide what i feel like eating yet, taste buds confusion. lol.

[Speaker 1] haha! I hope you find something delicious. Watercolors are very relaxing. It's been very interesting to learn all about it. What do you like to do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I bet. I love to indulge in tv series. Blacklist is a favorite right now and i do repeated series. then i mostly surf the web, and relax

My name is Michelle.

I live in Toledo.

I have depression.

I have a 16-year-old cat named Muffles.

I am moving places soon.

I like to journal. I like watercolor painting. I have no energy for cooking.

My name is Amanda.

I am going for a stroll.

I like to cook.

I like watching TV series, surfing the web and relaxing. Blacklist is a favorite Tv show.

[Speaker 1] I started a garden and it has helped a lot with my depression!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Are you growing herbs, fruits/vegetables or flowers?

[Speaker 1] Actually, I'm trying to grow both.  I planted several perennials like peonies, hyacinths, wisteria, and some vegs including cucumbers, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, lima beans and also watermelon and honeydew melon.  When they {hopefully} come in, are there any you would like?

[Speaker 2] I would love anything you'd be wiling to part with. I love utilizing fresh ingredients when I cook. I wish I could have a garden but since I have an apartment in NYC, it's tough. I have often thought about growing tomatoes on my balcony.

[Speaker 1] You probably know this already but tomatoes are easy to grow and there are some kinds that are especially bred for small spaces like decks or balconies.  And I will bring you some of everything as it comes in.  The cucumbers will come in first, then tomatoes, then beans, and the Brussels sprouts and melons will come in around the same time (late summer).  You can plan your cooking around that!  And I will also grow catnip for Truffle and Muffles!

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful. I know you don't have time or energy to cook. I would love to make you some meals using your own grown vegetables. You are putting all that work into growing, you should be able to benefit from it.

[Speaker 1] That would be a win-win for us--thank you so much.  Do you have some specialties that you like to cook?

[Speaker 2] I love making hearty salads and baked casseroles. There's something about a warm casserole on a cold fall night. What do you enjoy eating? I like to try out new things, it'd be fun to make something you enjoy.

[Speaker 1] Casseroles are one of my favorites and I agree about them, as well as stews and soups, on a cold fall night.  I make vegetarian chili with veggie "beef" crumbles, diced tomatoes, different beans and seasoning.  Love it.  Also make spaghetti using chorizo crumbles and spaghetti sauce.  And you know how much I love desserts...

[Speaker 2] Sweets are my downfall... If I make anything sweet, I feel the need to devour it. I try to be careful about not making too much. My husband is also very addicted to sweets and is always asking me to make him something special.

[Speaker 1] My downfall too!  Lately I've been making "healthy" quick breads like bran, pumpkin, oatmeal.  Not too much sugar, not much oil or white flour--mostly whole wheat flour, oat or wheat bran, oatmeal--and it's delicious but it still has a lot of carbs and calories.  My problem is that I don't know when to stop!

[Speaker 2] It's so hard to have things like that in the house, just sitting there. I try to substitute all my oil for unsweetened applesauce and use a combination of honey and maple syrup for sweeteners. Have you ever tried that?

My name is Michelle.

I live in Toledo.

I have depression.

I have a 16-year-old cat named Muffles.

I am moving places soon.

I have depression. I started gardening.

I'm trying to grow herbs and fruits/vegetables.

I like casseroles and stews and soups. I can make vegetarian chili, spaghetti. I love desserts. I'm trying to make healthy foods.

My name is Amanda.

I live in New York. I have a 1-year-old cat named Truffle. I am going for a stroll.

I like cooking. I love fresh ingredients in cooking. I have an apartment in New York City. I might grow tomatoes on my balcony.

I like making salads and casseroles. I like to try new food. I love sweets. I have a husband.

[Speaker 1] Have you been to any farmers markets in NYC this week?

[Speaker 2] Yes I went Saturday with my husband and was able to get some starter tomatoes for my balcony

[Speaker 1] Tat is great. Do you think I could buy some of those tomatoes, they work well with many of the foods I am interested in eating.

[Speaker 2] When they are ready to harvest me will gladly send you some. If I dont kill them first trying to grow them LOL

[Speaker 1] I have faith in you! I have heard rumors that eating healthy helps with depression, do you think that is true?

[Speaker 2] YES!! 100% true. My  brother in law suffers with depression and when he changed his diet it helped him alot and it helped his medication work better as well.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, I will use him as my inspiration. This might be a dumb question, but can cats eat tomatoes?

[Speaker 2] Very welcome and that is not a dumb question.  Cats will eat what they fancy honestly. Tomatoes wont hurt them in small amounts, but I wouldnt make it a regular thing.

[Speaker 1] Thank you for letting me know. I'll try out in small amounts with Muffles. I'll also start using tomatoes more in my own cooking!

[Speaker 2] Muffles is 16 it might upset her tummy a bit.  Tomatoes have so many great health benefits.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is a good point, and I believe it. They aren't the most tasty in my opinion, but the benefits are worth it.

[Speaker 2] Fresh tomatoes right off the vine  are absolutely divine!  Once you eat one straight from the vine, you will never want to eat another store bought one again.

[Speaker 2] It's really just practice. You should get with a family member and see if they can drive with you and let you use their car.

[Speaker 1] Well my Dad has just retired, so he should have the time to help me!

[Speaker 2] I bet he would be willing to. The actually driving part of the test is a little stressful, but I think you will do fine.

[Speaker 1] Okay thanks, lets hope your right haha. Did you ever help teach one of your kids to drive?

[Speaker 2] They all took classes for it, but I did help them practice in our neighborhood and the area surrounding it.

[Speaker 2] I do. It's not the most exciting work, but I know that it's never going to be stressful at all, which is nice. How is your job going?

[Speaker 1] I know, a lot of people find it strange.  For me it's so peaceful.  It's usually really quiet.  I like to think about the people buried there and the lives they may have led before they passed away.  It sounds morbid, I know, but I guess I just have a big imagination.

[Speaker 2] Well it's very unusual definitely. But it's true that it is very quiet and peaceful there usually. Do you sometimes walk around cemeteries at night as well?

[Speaker 1] No, I don't usually go at night because I don't want people to think I'm trespassing and up to no good.  I usually go in the morning during the weekend.  It's just the most peaceful place for me, probably the way the beach is peaceful for you, you know?

[Speaker 2] I think I can understand it. What does your boyfriend think about it? Does he go with you?

[Speaker 1] Haha, actually he thinks it's a little creepy, but he'll come along every now and then.  It's next to a nice park, so we'll sometimes walk through the cemetery and then go down to the park to watch the ducks on the pond.  Are you in a relationship now? I forget.

[Speaker 2] Yes I am, it's been about 10 months actually. It looks quite good so far. We are thinking about moving in together. In summer we are going to Barbados with some of our friends.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice, congrats!  Wow, Barbados, that will be awesome! I've never been there, but I've heard that it's beautiful.  Does he like the beach as much as you do?

[Speaker 2] Yes he does. It's my first time going to Barbados and our first holiday together. I am so excited. How about you? How is your relationship going?

[Speaker 1] Nice - that should be fun.  We're doing pretty well.  I really can't complain.  I hope that he proposes soon since it's been two years that we've been together.

[Speaker 2] I hope he does, I would like to go to a wedding haha. Did you talk about getting married already?

[Speaker 2] Probably going to catch a movie. Do you enjoy going to movies?

[Speaker 1] Movies bore me, my job as an emt is exciting enough for me

[Speaker 2] My parents have taken my brother and I to movies since we were young.

[Speaker 1] I really love my mom, do you have anyone special in your life

[Speaker 2] Yes. A wife and two kids. We love acting like superheroes. You?

[Speaker 1] I am alone in this world

[Speaker 2] Maybe for now, but never give up hope.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, my mom tells me that too every day

[Speaker 2] My mom was a great support for me too.

[Speaker 1] What movies do you like

[Speaker 2] Fantasy, mostly. But I also enjoy romantic comedies. You, if any?

[Speaker 1] Comedy for sure I love family guy

[Speaker 2] Family guy has some funny moments. But simpsons is the best for me.

I like fishing.

I find movies boring. I'm an EMT.

I am single.

I like comedy. I love Family Guy.

I have a wife and two kids.

I like fantasy and romantic comedies.

I like the Simpsons.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched any funny animation shows lately?

[Speaker 2] Well the Simpsons of course! How is your work going?

[Speaker 1] It is going well so far.

[Speaker 2] That's good. Is it a stressful job? I imagine that handling medical emergencies must be draining over time.

[Speaker 1] It is. But I am used to it.

[Speaker 2] Is watching comedy one of the things that you do for self care so you don't get burnt out?

[Speaker 1] Yes indeed. It is my therapy.

[Speaker 2] That makes a lot of sense. It can help me a lot mentally too, to laugh.  How's your mom doing?

[Speaker 1] She is doing alright. Thanks for asking.

[Speaker 2] Oh good to hear! Tell her I said hi. Are you going to go see her soon? Does she ever go fishing with you?

[Speaker 1] She is more obsessed with watching TV shows lately.

[Speaker 2] Oh I see. Do you ever go fishing in the winter? I have only been in the summer. I didn't have much luck last year but it was still really fun to try.

I like fishing.

I find movies boring. I'm an EMT.

I am single.

I like comedy. I love Family Guy.

I works at a hospital.

I love going to the movies. My parents would take my brother and I when we were little. I like fantasy and romantic comedies.

I have a wife and two kids.

I like watching funny animation shows especially The Simpsons.

I go fishing in summer, haven't done that in winters.

[Speaker 1] Guess what? I actually managed to get my mum to come fishing me for a change. We enjoyed a lot. Then I also watched TV with her.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I'm guessing she didn't catch anything, unless she had beginner's luck?!

[Speaker 1] Oh did she ever!!!! It was so funny, I was laughing most of the day and she was just elated :) I cleaned them up and she's going to make a nice brunch for us.

[Speaker 2] Well that's amazing, maybe she just has the knack? And hey, I guess you had to get that natural talent from somewhere! Glad you all had a good day. I'll have to get her to teach my some tricks, lol

[Speaker 1] Just don't give her any ideas about ice fishing haha. Have you been to any good movies lately. I was thinking about taking her out for one.

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't actually. Just been rewatching old Simpsons! I need to get back into movies so if you find a good one let me know. And don't worry, the idea of fishing in anything but summer doesn't appeal so I would never get her on board with ice fishing, haha!

[Speaker 1] Thank goodness for that. Did your kids ever go fishing with you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but it was too cold so we headed home pretty quick. I was more ready to leave than they were I think, ha!

[Speaker 1] That's hilarious, but I know what you mean. I was trying to find a funny movie for me and my mom after fishing, but I knew most of the movies would have adult content and no man wants to watch that with his mother.

[Speaker 2] Ain't that the truth. Just bracing yourself for the raunchy parts. Or hoping your mother falls asleep before the movie gets to it!

[Speaker 1] Haha so you get it! How are the kids doing?

[Speaker 2] Doing well! Ready for school to be over and I can't say I blame them. Just a crazy amount of homework!
