[Speaker 1] How many do you have? I had a long day too. That 9 5 hustle.

[Speaker 2] I have 2, pit bulls. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I've my own business, but I really want to open a bakery one day. You?

[Speaker 1] My dinner was good. I ate while I watched Tenet. Have you seen it yet?

[Speaker 2] I have not seen Tenet yet. When was the last time you volunteered at the soup kitchen?

[Speaker 1] I last volunteered last week, but I am intending to go back again in a couple of days to help out! How are your pitbulls doing?

[Speaker 2] They're doing great! They just ate their dinner, so they're very happy boys! That's great you volunteered last week. How is your business going? Are you any closer to getting your bakery started?

[Speaker 1] I am getting closer! We are just getting sorted with the paperwork to open up the old bakery in town again. How is your programming going?

[Speaker 2] That's so great! Congratulations! I know you've wanted to get that bakery going for awhile. My programming is going quite well. I just finished a mobile game I was working on. It should be in the app store soon, I'll let you know when it's available! Did you work today already?

[Speaker 1] I finished work at 5 today, I'm just relaxing on the couch right now. Is it hot in Austin right now?

[Speaker 2] That's nice. It feels good to relax after working all day. It's actually quite temperate in Austin right now. I have all of my windows open and it feels great! How is the weather in Virginia today??

[Speaker 1] It's quite cold in Virginia! Whilst I was walking home I had to make sure I was wrapped up warm from the wind! I'm sure your pitbulls love the temperate weather

[Speaker 2] That sounds rough! I couldn't live in the cold myself! You are right, my pitbulls love the nice weather. We went on a long walk this evening to enjoy it. Is it hard getting around Virginia right now because of the cold and the wind?

[Speaker 1] It is, my car tyres slip sometimes because of the ice on the road but hopefully it will have melted soon. I would love to be living in the more temperate weather of austin right now!

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I hope you stay safe, that sounds very dangerous! When does it start getting warmer in Virginia?

I work daily from 9-5. I own my own business. I was doing paperwork to open up my old bakery.

I watched Tenet.

I have two pitbulls.

I have not seen Tenet.

[Speaker 1] How are the pitbulls doing?

[Speaker 2] They are doing well! They wish I didn't work so much though. How was Tenet?

[Speaker 1] What are their names? Tenet was very interesting. I really enjoyed it since I like Sci-fi films. What kind of game did you program?

[Speaker 2] My dogs' names are Fido and Rover, pretty generic! What was your favorite part of Tenet?

[Speaker 1] The best part for me was all the time travels. What type of game did you program?

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! I'm working on some action games right now. Do you play video games?

[Speaker 1] I do play video games but I am not much into action games.

[Speaker 2] Me either, honestly. I prefer strategy-oriented games. How is your volunteering?

[Speaker 1] I love my voluntary work. It is really fulfilling and also helps me understand people better. Do you enjoy your volunteering?

[Speaker 2] I do! I haven't gotten the chance to in awhile. How did you get involved with the soup kitchen?

[Speaker 1] A friend of mine was already volunteering there and told me about it, so I offered my help too.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Volunteering is definitely a great thing to do with friends.

I volunteer at a soup kitchen in Virginia. I volunteered there last week. I am going back again in two days. I volunteer in a soup kitchen because a friend recommended it.

I like science fiction films. I recently watched Tenet.

I play video games but I don't like the action genre.

I have two pitbulls. My pit bulls are named Fido and Rover.

I work as a programmer. I programmed a mobile game. I work a lot.

I have not seen Tenet.

I program video games. Right now I'm working on action games. I enjoy strategy-based video games.

I like to volunteer but I've been too busy lately.

[Speaker 1] Have your dogs done anything cute lately?

[Speaker 2] Um... all the time!!! Rover now lays on his back with his paws up, he looks like a little bunny! I wish I could get it on video but every time I get my phone out, he stops. It's like he knows.

[Speaker 1] Rover is camera shy!  Have you been able to volunteer lately?  Maybe you could do something with your dogs alongside the soup kitchen!

[Speaker 2] I try to get down there every week. They are doing a big event for Father's Day coming up. I plan to be there all weekend helping out. What about you? Any opportunities lately?

[Speaker 1] Thats really cool!  The soup kitchen I volunteer at is doing an event at a church for Father's Day and will be there with my friend!  Working around people and food helps me get motivated to get my old bakery running again!

[Speaker 2] What is your speciality at your old bakery? I LOVE a good carrot cake - so hard to find.

[Speaker 1] I have been trying to come up with vegan pastry recipes since I know many people with dietary restrictions.  I have been succesful with a mean carrot cake recipe though!  I am even working on some vegan dog treats!

[Speaker 2] Dog treats is a such a great idea. I made honey oat peanut butter "cookie"s for my pups. They can't get enough of them. I am sure they would sell really well.

[Speaker 1] I hope so!  You should develop a fun strategy-based bakery game!  I would totally play!

[Speaker 2] Haha! Now there's an idea - it would be tricky, but I will start thinking about it.

[Speaker 1] Please!  Although I am sure you are already busy as is with all your other programming.  Is there a game you have been dreaming of designing?

[Speaker 2] I wanted to do something dog-themed of course. I know there a bunch of pet stuff out there, but I want it to be like the dog version of Zelda. Zelda does so well and the complex puzzles... That's what I want to build.


My parents own a star like walmart.

Once a week I purchase a manicure.

Seeing guys beat each other up on tv is awesome.

[Speaker 1] Give. I like to watch wrestling

[Speaker 2] Do you go to the stadium or on tv?

[Speaker 1] Tv mostly. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I work as a dental hygienist.

[Speaker 1] Sounds fancy. Any cool perks?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I wanted to become a dentist but then I chose this profession.

[Speaker 1] Gave up on your dream? How sad...

[Speaker 2] Yes. I didn't want to spend years in school.


I ve studied ballet all my life.
My mother is a ballerina.
I am a white dancer.
I plan to retire in 6 months.

I have blonde hair.

My favorite color is purple.

My favorite food is macaroni and cheese.

I love ballet.

I like video games.

I have went to school for dance.
I took ballet lessons when I was young.
I enjoy dance.
I have a 401k.

My lox are golden.
I like warm colors.
I love to eat pasta in a cheddar sauce.
I like dancers.
I like to sit in front of the tv.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing tonight

[Speaker 2] I am doing really good, how about you?

[Speaker 1] I am doing good. I am retiring soon can not wait

[Speaker 2] Me too so I can play video games a lot. What do you like to do?

[Speaker 1] I love to dance my mom was a dancer too so she made me learn young

[Speaker 2] Me as well. I prefer the ballet!

[Speaker 1] Wow that's what my mom danced

[Speaker 2] I loved watching it with my favorite food! Mac and cheese!

[Speaker 1] Mac and cheese is great and quick to make

[Speaker 2] It is always good expecially after a late night

[Speaker 1] Yeah I agree with you

[Speaker 2] What do you do in life

[Speaker 1] I just dance and listen to music mostly ballet music

[Speaker 2] I love to do that also and play with my blond hair! Trying new cuts

[Speaker 1] I'd keep it long since you have nice curly hair

[Speaker 2] Yes but I love changes

I am retiring soon.

I like mac and cheese.

I am retiring soon. I like to play video games.

I like to dance. I like ballet.

My favorite food is mac and cheese.

I love music and playing with my hair.

I like changes.

[Speaker 1] I retired and I have more time to dance.

[Speaker 2] I'm happy for you! I like dancing as well, and I'm looking forward to having more time for that and gaming in the future.

[Speaker 1] What games do you like to play? I forgotten most of my dance most from when I was younger, but my wife wants me to go to a Salsa class so I can "get my groove back."

[Speaker 2] I like role playing games for when I'm alone, and sports or racing games when I want to play with other people. I just beat Cyberpunk 2077 a few days ago.

[Speaker 1] Great job! My grandson talks a lot about that game, I think we bought it for him from Christmas. He's also convinced me to buy some "GameStop" stock. I guess because he buys video games there.

[Speaker 2] Gamestop is really popular right now on the stock market. I hear that some people call it "Stonks", which seems very odd too me. I don't understand kids' slang sometimes. Gaming helps me feel at least a little younger though.

[Speaker 1] We bought several shares last week. We'll see if the investment pans out. I think the last video game I played was Super Mario Bros. Maybe you could show me some more modern games?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to! Games have gotten a lot more exciting since the Nintendo days. Plus, they look so much more realistic! It's like playing a movie!

[Speaker 1] I've watch my grandson sometimes, and yes they do look very real! He wants to join an

[Speaker 2] They definitely can be a bit more complex than in our younger days. What were you saying that he wanted to join?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I lose my train of thought sometimes! Symptom of getting older. He wants to join an "E-sports" team in college. Who ever heard of such a thing! Back in my day the football players were popular, but I guess times change.

[Speaker 2] I don't think they're really sports, no matter what the kids say! Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle played sports. But, I hear that they can make a pretty penny playing these games, so that's nice for them!

I am retired.

I like to dance. I learned to dance when I was young. My mom dances ballet. I like ballet music.

I like mac and cheese.

I am married. I have a grandson.

I am retiring soon.

I like to dance. I like ballet. I love music and playing with my hair.

My favorite food is mac and cheese.

I like changes.

I like role playing games by myself. I like sports and racing games with people. I just beat Cyberpunk 2077.

I don't understand kids; slang.

[Speaker 1] My wife and I tried a new Salsa dance club.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's amazing! The community center just started offering salsa classes near me; I've been meaning to check it out! How did you and your wife like it?

[Speaker 1] It is quite a change from ballet but it was a lot of fun. It is very fast and was quite the work out. We were both sore the next day but will definitely do it again

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun–I'm so glad you liked it. I'll definitely sign up then.

[Speaker 1] You should. It is also a really great way to meet people but the dance is very close so you can't be shy with new people

[Speaker 2] Good to know! I love meeting new people so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll be sure to tell you how the class goes! Have you seen your grandson recently?

[Speaker 1] Please. Do and yes i saw him this morning. My daughter brought him over on her way to meet her husband for lunch. He is growing up so fast her is almost 3

[Speaker 2] Oh that's so lovely! They grow up so fast, don't they? Does your daughter's family live nearby?

[Speaker 1] They really do sometimes i wish i could sop time. and yes luckily they live a few neighbourhoods over its about a 15 minute drive to them. my son however lives in california which is a lot longer of a drive

[Speaker 2] That's so lovely that your daughter lives closeby, at least! Do you get to visit your son very often?

[Speaker 1] I try to see him at least once a year him and his partner usually visit around christmas

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful–it's so great to have the whole family together for christmas.

I am retired.

I learned to dance when I was young. My mom dances ballet. I like ballet music. My wife and I like to dance. I've danced ballet and salsa.

I like mac and cheese.

I am married. I have a grandson. We bought shares of GameStop last week. I watch my grandson play video games sometimes.

I have a grandson who is almost 3. My daughter and her family live close by and visit often.

My son lives in California.  I don't get to visit him very often. My son is gay. I visit him and his partner around the holidays.

I am retiring soon.

My favorite food is mac and cheese.

I like changes.

I don't understand kids; slang.

I'm interested in taking classes at my local community center. I'm going to sign up for salsa dance classes.

I like meeting new people.

[Speaker 1] So did you sign up for that dance class?  You don't want to wait too long, they tend to fill up quickly!

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I totally forgot I got wrapped up in playing Cyberpunk 2077!

[Speaker 1] Ha...I was just thinking about deleting that game about half an hour ago because I haven't played it and it's 60 GB on my hard drive

[Speaker 2] I am not going to lie it has it's problems, but I had a good time. If you don't plan on playing it, it is always good to have that extra hard drive space

[Speaker 1] Yeah...I beat it intitially, but then you think "well maybe it will be better after awhile", but I never bothered updating it to see if that was the case.

[Speaker 2] Oh! Get rid of that thing then! Are there any other games you have that you want to install instead?

[Speaker 1] Not at the moment but I am down to 15 GB so something will definitely have to go

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah for sure. An update might cost you that much space these days!

[Speaker 1] That's a good point. It's amazing how botched the game release was after they did so well with Witcher 3

[Speaker 2] I blame all the hype. People don't like to judge games after they come out anymore. I know marketing has a big part to play in it, but people need to stop calling games the best ever before they even come out

[Speaker 1] That's the way of the world...those shareholders want to bake those profits into every year possibles financial reports so they sell the hype to get that money

[Speaker 2] I mean at the end of the day is always comes back to money. But it must suck working on something for years just for everyone to tell you how horrible most of it was


I detest anything to do with going fast on legs.

I like to see the bat and ball game.

I'm a happy person.

I've less than four pets.

Sometimes I can be quite lazy.

My favorite show is about zombies.

I am going to school full time.

I like graphic novels.

I don't make the healthiest dietary choices.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today

[Speaker 1] Me too! I desire running. Hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Yeas I enjoy reading comics and consuming junk food

[Speaker 1] Do you like to watch sports?

[Speaker 2] No not really just comic type shows super heroes and scifi. I'm currently unemployed

[Speaker 1] Do you have any pets to pass the time?

[Speaker 2] Yes I've a german shepard and you?

[Speaker 1] I've 3 animals, 2 cats plus dog

[Speaker 2] Yes I am glad you asked! I really like vegan pasta and it's very filling too. I also recommend cucumber-melon soup! These are really easy to make!

[Speaker 1] Mmmm that cucumber melon soup sounds good, I will have to try it! What college do you go to? I went to the University of Alabama!

[Speaker 2] I go to Boston University - we are quite far apart haha. What's University of Alabama like?

[Speaker 1] It was a lot of fun when I went there. I went to a lot of parties and a lot of football games haha. What are you majoring in at Boston University?

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun! I am majoring in engineering right now! What did you major in and when did you graduate?

[Speaker 1] Very cool! I majored in computer science, so overall we're in pretty similar fields. I graduated in 2019. When are you expecting to graduate?

[Speaker 2] Oh very close indeed haha. I have a year left until graduation. Who is your favorite country artist?

[Speaker 1] Luke Bryan! I actually saw him in concert the other week! It was awesome!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I heard of him but don't really know much. I'll have to listen one of these days. How is your daughter doing?

I shop at Walmart.

I have a daughter.

I grew up in Alabama. I like country music. I saw Luke Bryan in concert the other week.

I am not a vegan.

I like watching tv.

I graduated  from  the University of Alabama in 2019. I majored in computer science in college. I went to a lot of parties and football games in college.

I work at Walmart.

My dad is a mechanic.

I like the band Muse.

I am a vegan. I love vegan restaurant. I like vegan pasta, cucumber-melon soup.

I am currently a college student at Boston University majoring in engineering at Boston University. I graduate from college in one year.

[Speaker 1] How are your classes at Boston University.

[Speaker 2] My engineering classes are a bit difficult, but I truly love the subject so I am willing to put in the work.  Unfortunately, I feel that all the studying cuts into my social life a bit.  Did you find that you had a hard time balancing work and fun in college?

[Speaker 1] Yes, that happens. It feels like its completely taking over your life. However, I'd say that enjoy each and every moment because you aren't going to get to experience college, and this student life ever again. Also work hard, but play hard too. I used to go to parties and make time to go and watch football. I think prioritizing what you have to do is important, do whatever is on your priority list and then make some time for you to chill, or pursue your hobbies.

[Speaker 2] That's sound advice.  I try to dabble in my cooking whenever I can, but college kitchens certainly leave something to be desired.  Plus, I have such a hard time finding the ingredients and types of food I like to eat in a college down.  I'm not really a beer and pizza person, so my options are more limited.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, and I think a vegan diet is so much more sophisticated. I feel like the choice is limited in vegan.. how did you make the switch?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I did it for health reasons.  I was having some stomach issues, so my doctor recommended I re-evaluate the types of food I was eating.  I find that I feel much better by being on a vegan diet.  It's a shame that the ingredients are so incredibly expensive!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, expensive. But that's not why I'm not switching. I can't even dream of being on a vegan diet because I LOVE CHEESE. And I dorn't think I will be able to give up cheese

[Speaker 2] Cheese is SO good!  That was truly the hardest switch for me.  I have found some vegan cheeses that aren't too bad, but I'll be honest, sometimes I miss the real thing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, nothing can beat the real cheese. How is your part time job anyways?

[Speaker 2] It's alright, thanks for asking.  As a cashier at Walmart, I meet a lot of interesting people, and the hours are good.  I typically work early in the mornings, which is great because it works well with my class schedule, and it is before the midday shopping rush at the store.

[Speaker 1] yeah for me its just plain stress from work. i dont even know how i managed to get time to go to a concert last week.

[Speaker 2] That's right...you went to the Luke Bryan concert, right?  I love him!  What's your favorite song that he performs?

I shop at Walmart.

I have a daughter.

I am not a vegan.

I like watching tv.

I love cheese.

I am stressed about work. I went to a Luke Bryan concert.

My dad is a mechanic.

I like the band Muse.

I am vegan because of health issues. I love vegan restaurant. I like vegan pasta, cucumber-melon soup. I love cheese.

I like to cook, but it's hard to in college.

I have a part time job at Walmart. I usually work mornings.

I love Luke Bryan.

[Speaker 1] I heard of this new vegan restaurant that I think you would love! We should go sometime.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! Even though you are not vegan, do you enjoy vegan food? I find many of my friends do not enjoy vegan food, perhaps because they think it won't taste good- it is a mental block!

[Speaker 1] Yes vegan food is amazing I have been a couple of times to Veggie Galaxy a vegan restaurant in the Boston area, Vegan food sometimes taste even better than other foods

[Speaker 2] Great! Let's try the new spot soon. I know you grew up in Alabama but do you live in the Boston area now?

[Speaker 1] My best friend lives in Boston so I go there frequently. He loves cheese so do I and so do you, My favorite cheese is parmesan but not grated, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I love all kinds of cheeses. I would have to say I find mozzarella the most versatile. I love eating pepper jack straight from the container though. I put cheese on everything for all meals. What is stressing you out about work?

[Speaker 1] Well you know my boss is going through a divorce and all the stress he is feeling at home he brings it to the office and lately he yells at me he looks bad at me he is being mean to me

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm sorry. That is stressful and doesn't sound like something you will be able to easily fix. I know what it is like to be stressed out and take it out on other people. I'm sorry that is happening to you.

[Speaker 1] I am a humble flexible person I understand his pain and I have not bad feeling towards him  but working in this conditions is stressful I am positive he finds a rebound and leave alone.

[Speaker 2] Yes it is stressful to work like that. I'm sure going home to your daughter is tough when you've had a bad day at work. How do you manage being able to handle your responsibilities outside of work?

[Speaker 1] Well you know i am a single dad and my daughter takes pretty much all my energy because kids have a lot of issues regarding technology there is too much information they are getting so sometimes she goes to her room and do not leave it for hours this is painful

[Speaker 2] The technology these days is tough to deal with! There is too much available at their fingertips. And the constant social media/comparing themselves to others is difficult for children to handle. I completely empathize.


I work with fun things.
My dad and poppy had jobs as clowns.
I don't eat carbohydrates.
I like films.
I'm an animal lover.

My mom works in a library with books.

I work in an organizational setting.

[Speaker 1] Hey, do you know much about the keto diet?

[Speaker 2] No. Never heard of it.

[Speaker 1] Its okay. Its helped me shed a few pounds.

[Speaker 2] Cool.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, its pretty cool. My dogs barely recognize me!

[Speaker 2] I'm a cat person myself.

[Speaker 1] I have a pair of golden retrievers, and they're not nice to cats.

[Speaker 2] Still there?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, they're still there.

[Speaker 2] I volunteer at the library too.

[Speaker 1] What is your dogs name?

[Speaker 2] I have a female boxer named Kimo and a male lab named Todo.

[Speaker 1] What pet stores do you go to to shop for Kimo and Todo?

[Speaker 2] Petsmart usually has everything I need.  It's probably much harder shopping for horse supplies!

[Speaker 1] I go to the Tractor Supply Store for my horse feed. Do you like to ride horses?

[Speaker 2] I love horses!  My parents live in the country and have horses.  I would always take Kimo and Todo out there because they were very close to the horses and loved to play together.

[Speaker 1] How sweet! Horses are the best. We should ride in Nevada. I will come visit since I have never been there!

[Speaker 2] That would be great!  Nevada has so much to see.  Not many places to scuba dive but I'm sure there are so many fun things to do here.  I can tell you all the good pet stores to browse lol

[Speaker 1] Great! Can I bring my daughters? I think they would enjoy it too.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely!  I might go up with you from New Mexico and bring Kimo and Todo.  I think you're girls would love to play with them.

[Speaker 1] They would! My wife will be happy to have the weekend to herself too.

[Speaker 2] Nevada is such a relaxing place.  Kimo and Todo will spend most of the day laying around on the porch if I let them.  Who will take care of your horses while you are gone?

[Speaker 1] Me and the wife finally took a trip to new mexico for some riding and we enjoyed it a lot

[Speaker 2] How wonderful but if only you had let me know. I could have hosted you for part of your stay. It would have been so good to see you and your wife.

[Speaker 1] How kind of you to offer! I'll make sure to let you know next time I'm in the area. What have you been up to since the last time we chatted?

[Speaker 2] I went diving at the weekend at Blue Hole in Santa Rosa. It's been a little while and I forgot how much I loved it. I meant to ask how did you find the food and the people in Mexico?

[Speaker 1] We love Mexican food, so we found a lot of tasty restaurants. The guys at the horse stable were very friendly. We didn't talk much to the locals. Where's your favorite place to eat in New Mexico?

[Speaker 2] I like the Artichoke cafe fish, pork chops it's classic Mexican cuisine and contemporary American

[Speaker 1] That sounds delicious. I'll have to try that next time I'm in the area. Did you take your dogs with you when you went on your scuba diving trip?

[Speaker 2] No, they are getting old. Sydney has had some investigative surgery so I'm just waiting on results. My sisters looked after them while I went off for the day.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'm sorry to hear about Sydney! I hope you get good results. How old are your dogs, and what breeds?

[Speaker 2] 10 and 11. Both are labradors and they generally live 10-12 years but they have been well looked after and loved very much. If Sydney gets over whatever this is, hopefully nothing too serious I hope to have both Sydney and Josie with me for a few years yet. And how are your horses? Riding in Mexico, riding on the farm, you must be saddle sore!

[Speaker 1] We had a wonderful time, and I think my horses enjoyed themselves, too. The change in environment seemed to give them a lot of energy. We are a bit sore, though, but it feels good, like the feeling after a great workout.

[Speaker 2] I have never ridden. Horses scare me but I hope to try riding at some point. Perhaps when you come to New Mexico again you can show me the basics. It will be just another reason to meet you friend.

My name is John.

I have horses. I like to saddle ride.

I work in law enforcement in Detroit.

I have never been to Nevada. I have 3 daughters and a wife. I like to scuba dive. We like to travel and ride horses. We recently took a trip to New Mexico.

My wife and I love Mexican food.

I am adopted.

I go to pet stores for fun. I have two labradors. They named Sydney and Josie and are 10 and 11 years old. Sydney recently had investigative surgery.

I live in the city.

I love to go scuba diving.

I have sisters.

I don't have a horse. I'm scared of horses but I would like to try riding someday.

[Speaker 1] How is Sydney doing? Did you find out anything from the surgery?

[Speaker 2] They found a mass in her intestines.  They removed it and sent it to the lab.  We are just waiting to hear back.  Thank you for asking.

[Speaker 1] I know how it can ne stressful, I lost some sleep because of my horses. How are you holding ?

[Speaker 2] I’m doing okay, stressed, but okay.  Josie has been so cute, she hasn’t left Sydney’s side since she came home.  What happened to your horses?

[Speaker 1] The are outside a lot more and they like it. They don't like winter, so they are very happy now.

[Speaker 2] I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t like winter much either in Detroit.  Do you get a lot of snow there?

[Speaker 1] We get enough snow that I have winter tires on my car, and the stables are insulated. The worst weather is when it is humid and cold. How are the winters in New Mexico ?

[Speaker 2] I’m not big into snow.  The winters in New Mexico are pretty mined with snow mostly just in the mountains.

[Speaker 1] Do the roads become icy or it is never that cold ?

[Speaker 2] It can get to freezing temperatures at night, so the roads can get slippery but it’s rare since winter is the driest season.  Icy roads make me nervous to drive on.

[Speaker 1] It is  very dangerous when the road are icy, it only need one driver that drives too fast to create a mega pileup in icy conditions.

[Speaker 2] You must be pretty used to it though.  Do you ever go back to Kansas?


I've just started school.

I like stripped animals.

I would rather not spend my free time inside.

[Speaker 2] I love myself. I use the mirror in order to keep a great appearance.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever go outside?

[Speaker 2] Rarely. I spend more time online shopping for products to enhance my appearance.

[Speaker 2] I am always pretty. That's why people are always looking at me.

[Speaker 1] What grade are you in?

[Speaker 2] I work as a model. That is why I care how I look in public.

[Speaker 1] Okay, but do you like anything else but yourself?

[Speaker 2] Not really. It is all about me.

[Speaker 1] That is sad, you are missing all the fun things

[Speaker 1] I did once. boy that a mistak!! He ran off chasing the parade straitaway!! It took me all day to find him. so i leve him at home now. how about you? are you getting some time outdoors these days?

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  I'm glad Denis came back.  Yeah I've been outdoors quite a bit.  In the summers when I'm off I like to go camping.

[Speaker 1] Thats great. So I guess you get the whole summer off because school is out. Where do like to camp?

[Speaker 2] I like to float down the Missisippi river on a steamship and then camp in the Louisiana Boyou.  I rent a fan boat to get around.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really cool! Ive always wanted to get down there and do some photography. But my work at the paper keeps me in my local area. I hear theyve got snakes and alligators there, tho. Arent you worried about being attaked?

[Speaker 2] I've had some encounters.  I work out so that I'm in fighting shape.

[Speaker 1] good for you. youd better keep up your protein intake, so dont worry too much about eating salad now! What sort of training do you do?

[Speaker 1] How was your camping trip this weekend? fight any snakes or alligators?

[Speaker 2] Yeah it was good. Sadly, no alligators or snakes anywhere to be seen - I was on the look out, though. Don't worry, you'd have been the first port of call with any photographs!

[Speaker 1] Do you go camping on your own or with others? Do you enjoy teaching Math? I love taking pictures at Carnivals.

[Speaker 2] Just my sister and her daughter, quite a low key occasion. Funny you should ask that, I actually spent most of the weekend helping my niece out with fractions. Felt like I hadn't even left! Was the carnival in town, then? Gutted that I missed it.

[Speaker 1] Yes it was in town and it was fabulous. You can always go to the next one. Maybe I could tag along camping with you sometime.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan! It would be nice to have someone with me who actually enjoys being outdoors, as much as I enjoy spending time with my sister she spent most of the time moaning about having no phone charger. I'm going away again in a few weeks, how is your calendar looking next month?

[Speaker 1] Next month sounds good, I think I have some time around then. It would be nice to take some photographs out there in the wild.

[Speaker 2] Great. The camp I'm staying in has some great places for dog walks, so you wouldn't have to worry about getting a dog sitter, either. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 1] He is doing fine, a bit naughty sometimes. How often do you practice judo? Do you prefer it more than martial arts?

[Speaker 2] Aww, that's good fun though right? Usually just a couple of times a week. I definitely prefer Judo - probably because I've been doing it longer. Were you thinking of starting?

[Speaker 1] Hahaha yes he is lovely. I am not sure if I would be good at judo so I am a but reluctant. Would you suggest it?

[Speaker 2] Can't wait to spend some time with him! Well, if you're unsure I could show you some beginner techniques when we're away next month?

[Speaker 1] I do not have any kids

My mother was born in ireland.
My father was born in australia.
My father was an author.
I like to travel.

My parents are in there 80s.
I've 8 brothers and we are close.
My hair is as red as the sunset.
I am only 5 foot tall.
I have a thick full beard.

I'm part irish.

My family used to live in sydney.

I followed in my the footsteps of my dad and wrote my first novel at 30.

I enjoy seeing the world.

My mom and dad are old.
I have a lot of siblings.
I'm a ginger.
I am rather short.
I have a lot of facial hair.

[Speaker 1] Do you travel often?

[Speaker 2] I wish, my parents need lots of looking after.

[Speaker 1] Oh no. My parents were born in different countries so I've always done so.

[Speaker 2] My mom is still healthy 4 brothers and 3 sisters so she need the energy

[Speaker 1] What does your mother do for work?

[Speaker 2] She takes care of dad and I take care of them, I'm just so short its tough

[Speaker 1] My father worked as an author, writing about his homeland of australia.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever been there to witness what he wrote?

[Speaker 1] I have and too ireland where my mom was born.

[Speaker 2] I have to shave my beard tonight but cant reach the shaving cream

[Speaker 1] How short are you? Cruel of someone to put it out of reach.

[Speaker 2] I'm just over 4 foot 9, my mom forgets I live with her.

[Speaker 1] I'm not that much taller and do not have that much trouble reaching things.

[Speaker 2] My beard itches so much I cannot stop to reach for things.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a very complicated situation.

[Speaker 2] All my brothers and sisters keep putting things too high and I don't like it.

My parents do not live in this country.

My father is an author who writes about his homeland of australia. my mom was born in ireland.

I have been to australia and ireland.

I am a taller than 4 foot 9.

I look after my parents alot.
I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters.
I have a beard.
I am 4 foot 9.
My beard itches.

[Speaker 1] Were you able to shave your beard?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I think I might see a doctor about this one, at least my brother suggests I do. What do you think, can it be something serious?

[Speaker 1] I would just think it would just be skin irritation but a doctor would be able to tell you for sure. How are your parents doing?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you're probably right, I will schedule it for the next weekend. All good, my dad actually had a birthday the day before yesterday, so we went to play some bowling, it was pretty fun. By the way, what about your dad's new book, is it going to be released soon?

[Speaker 1] That' great that you guys got to bowl. It sounds like a lot of fun. He is working on the last bits of it and it should be released within the next few months.

[Speaker 2] Wow, really? That's awesome, I'm waiting for a copy here :P His previous books was pretty interesting, even though I never visited Australia. How did you like your trip there?

[Speaker 1] I like it there a lot. there are so many different animals and insects there. It is very relaxing although I think I like Ireland more than Australia. You and your siblings should plan a trip there sometime!

[Speaker 2] Haha easier said than done! Our family is huge and as you can imagine, everyone has an opinion of his own. My sisters like to travel, but 2 of my brothers prefer to stay at home, it's so hard to pull them out of there, believe me, I've tried ;) I'll ask my parents though, I was thinking about buying tickets for them to travel as a gift, their anniversary is in two months.

[Speaker 1] I think that would be a really great idea for your parents! If you are looking for a place abroad I would suggest Ireland for sure. It is nice and relaxing there.

[Speaker 2] Any particular city you can recommend? I really know nothing about this country, although I've heard some stuff from movies, etc. but I've no idea if I can believe those things :)

[Speaker 1] I would suggest them to visit the Cliffs of Moher, they are very breathtaking when you are there looking at them.

[Speaker 2] Oh, just googled it, they look amazing! My dad really likes mountains, so I think it's definitely the place he'd like to see. Thanks!

My parents do not live in this country.

My father is an author who writes about his homeland of Australia. my mom was born in Ireland. I have been to Australia and Ireland and I like both. I like Ireland more than Australia.

I am 4 foot 9.

My beard itches.

I am worried about a health issue.

I will see my doctor next weekend.

I enjoyed bowling at a party. I like reading.

I have never visited Australia. I know very little about Ireland.

[Speaker 1] Have you made that appointment with your doctor?

[Speaker 2] Yes I shceduled it for next weekend but I might have to cancel because I won't be able to leave my parents alone.

[Speaker 1] Well if it helps I can always pop by and make sure everything is okay, It's very important you get that doctors appointment, in case it's anything bad!

[Speaker 2] I really do appreciate that, I'll ask one of my brothers or sisters first and see if they can stop by. I think I might need to go to the dermatologist too because of my itchy beard.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's a good idea. And yea you should spend the weekend looking after yourself make sure your all healthy. You will be no help to your parents if not!

[Speaker 2] My life would be so different if my parents lived in a different country like yours! I can't even fathom what that would be like.

[Speaker 1] Haha, it has it upsides as well as it's downsides. I've got to have travelled to some amazing places to see them, which is always great but, I do miss them a great deal!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I feel like it would be nice to have my own space and personal time but at the same time I would miss them way too much. I wouldn't trade it for the world, they took care of me growing up so me taking care of them is only right!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's such a great thing your doing. You should be very proud of yourself! Do your brothers and sister help out as much as you?

[Speaker 2] Well two of my brothers live in a different state and one of my sisters is in the military. Since I am the oldest I felt like it should be my responsibility. I don't blame though, they help when they can and I appreciate them for that.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's understandable. As long as you get some time to enjoy your own life as well!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I really do wish to travel to Australia and Ireland someday.

My parents do not live in this country.

My parents live in another country.  I enjoy travelling but don't get to see my parents as often as I'd like.

I look after my parents alot. I am considering buying travel tickets for my parents. I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters. I am the oldest child in my family. They are not able to help take care of our parents as much.

I am 4 foot 9.

My beard itches.

I live with my parents who need extra care. I have a doctor's appointment coming up next weekend.

I have brothers and sisters who live nearby. I love my parents and want to look after them.

I want to travel more.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any plans to visit your parents soon?  It'll be a while until I can go on vacation - let me live through you haha!

[Speaker 2] Well they wanted to have a bit of a getaway of their own, but I'm so worried about them that I think I'll need to drop by to make sure.

[Speaker 1] I don't blame you.  It's a shame your siblings can't help out more with them, but it's great that you take such good care of looking out for them.  I wish I could see my parents a lot more often.

[Speaker 2] Well they're very busy with college, jobs, and such, but I hope they'll have time to look after them more soon. It seems like you're in the same boat as them. What do you do that keeps you from traveling much?

[Speaker 1] I'm a prison guard.  I only get 2 weeks of vacation a year.  I didn't get one last year, but maybe later this year, I'll finally get to go see them.

[Speaker 2] Ah, yeah I can see that definitely making things difficult. I wonder if they'd be able to visit you. It's probably quite a plane ride, but it's got to be worth it if they get to see you.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's not like you can just go to Australia for the weekend, unless you  own your own jet! haha.  Well, I keep asking them to come, but they are usually going back and forth between Australia and Ireland.  They forget about me sometimes, I think!

[Speaker 2] They must really be free spirits. I bet they'd be stopping by all the time if they had grandchildren to go see.

[Speaker 1] Well, my mom started writing about Ireland now, so they made a deal they'd spend 6 months in Australia, and 6 months in Ireland so they could get their research done.   You are probably right!  I think they'd love to have grandkids, and tell them all their stories.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my parents keep bugging me about grandchildren all the time. All of the others are so busy that they don't think they'll have them anytime soon. Every few days they're either trying to set me up with someone or asking about my love life. It can get pretty exhausting.

[Speaker 1] Aw! They probably just want you to be happy though!  Do any of your siblings have children?

[Speaker 2] Well, one of them was doing to have a daughter, but she had a miscarriage and they haven't tried again since then. The others aren't really in committed relationships just yet. Now that I think about it, they probably don't stop by as often as they would if our parents did bug them about having grandkids.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you can! Anyone can with the right attitude and willingness!

[Speaker 1] My sentiments exactly! I cannot talk long, jimmy fallon is on soon I never miss a show!

[Speaker 2] That big goofball looks like he was raised by a couple of beatniks

[Speaker 1] Have you heard anything about his parents? I am a gossip hound...

[Speaker 2] I don't read gossip magazines much at all... More of a guns and ammo type

[Speaker 1] Interesting... Is that related to your work?

[Speaker 2] Well not really, I'm a navy seal and red blooded american, that is all

[Speaker 1] I will file you in my honorable patriotic friends folder then.

[Speaker 2] And I will get you top secret clearance to madill airforce base

[Speaker 1] Sounds great! I'll bring meals, snacks water depending on number of hours there.

[Speaker 2] Are you female? I'm getting the distinct impression you are a lady

[Speaker 1] Do you say that because I am so organized? Lots of people notice that about me.

[Speaker 2] That is part of it. Plus you said you are a gossip hound. Then the picnic talk.

[Speaker 2] I have been in the service for over 10 years. It has been a wild ride! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I work in a hospital system in administration. I admire your service. Where is Madill Airforce Base?

[Speaker 2] Administration is perfect for you, since we all know how organized you are! It is in Florida, near the ocean. Have you ever been to the ocean?

[Speaker 1] Been to the ocean in California, Washington, but never Florida. I like swimming, though.

[Speaker 2] Swimming is fun! I also enjoy camping, especially at the beach. Do you enjoy camping?

[Speaker 1] Never been camping, so I can't say whether I like it. I would like to try it someday. Sounds fun.

[Speaker 2] It is! It really makes you feel connected with nature. The last time I was camping I saw a bear!

[Speaker 1] Wow! How close did it get to you?

[Speaker 2] It was about 50 feet from me. It was scary, but it makes for a great story!

[Speaker 1] Sure does. Just seeing bears at the zoo make me a little uncomfortable.

[Speaker 2] I love the zoo! My favorite animal there is always the elephant. You never have to worry about an elephant sneaking up on you while camping.

I have never been camping. Bears at  the zoo make me uncomfortable. I like swimming.

People notice how organized I am.

I work in a hospital in administration.

I've been to the oceans in Washington and California.

I like swimming and camping. I saw a bear last time I went camping.

I love the zoo, my favorite animal is the elephant.

[Speaker 1] Can I come camping with you, I'd like to try it out!

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! I have a tent you can use too, if you don't have your own.

[Speaker 1] That would be great, but can you assure me that you can take us to a location that does not have bears?!?

[Speaker 2] Sure, we can go to a spot closer to town so that there isn't so much wilderness around us. We will ease you into camping!

[Speaker 1] Whew!  Are any of those spots near water that we can swim in?

[Speaker 2] Yes, there is a lake nearby the spot that I will take you to. Have you been doing a lot of swimming lately?

[Speaker 1] Not as much as I'd like, but with the weather getting nicer, I am getting a few laps in.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] Our local YMCA has a pool so I have been using that all winter, as soon as it warms up though I am heading to the lake!

[Speaker 1] Do you get a discount at the YMCA for the time you have spent in the Navy?

[Speaker 2] Yes active military and vets get a discount, which is really nice. I am actually able to use their discount on their properties as well so I am heading to the Rockies and will stay in one of their cabins for a night or two before going camping.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad.  I think it's really important that those who serve get all the amenities and discounts possible.  There are a number of vets that I come across daily in my job at the hospital and they are the nicest people you will ever meet!

[Speaker 1] I am doing great! Swimming is fun. Sounds like you are having a good day

[Speaker 2] Yes for a friday the 13th. My three cats are acting weird though! Haha

[Speaker 1] Lol have they done anything funny today?

[Speaker 2] They are just acting spooked at everything! Haha do you have pets?

[Speaker 1] No I don't have pets. What is your favorite color

[Speaker 2] Orange is my favorite, what about you? Do you have a favorite food?

[Speaker 1] I love blue almost everything I've is blue even my hair

[Speaker 2] Oh cool! I always wanted to do something crazy like that!

[Speaker 1] You should try it once you only live once

[Speaker 2] True! I'm about to make tacos for dinner, I love them!

[Speaker 1] I love tacos too. Have you tried any of the new stuff at taco bell

[Speaker 2] Not yet, there are none close to me unfortunately. I'd be there every day! Haha

[Speaker 1] Lol where are you from?

[Speaker 2] I live in pennsylvania but in the boonies. What about you?

I like blue.
I love tacos.

I love to swim.
I have three cats.
I am demure.
I like tacos.
I live in PA.

[Speaker 1] How did your cats make it through Friday the 13th?

[Speaker 2] they did pretty well, it was fairly warm.  They liked watching the Friday the 13th movie with me

[Speaker 1] Oh I bet they did, I love that movie! By the way, I was going to watch something scary later this week with my friends, do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] Besides the original Friday the 13th, I am a fan of all the classics.  Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and anything with Zombies.  Its great to sit down with them and eat some popcorn and watch cheesy old horror movies

[Speaker 1] Haha sounds cool indeed :) Thanks for the suggestions, I will ask if my friends already saw any of them. Personally I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I've heard a lot of good about it! Enough about me though, what are your weekend plans in PA?

[Speaker 2] Nothing too exciting, may have a couple friends over for some drinks, but the weather has to cooperate.  Could definitely use some warmer weather.

[Speaker 1] You know, there are so many sayings about cat predicting weather. You have three of them, so your chances to predict the weather correctly are pretty high, I think you should try :P For real though, I hope you have a great weekend, the weather out here as amazing so far!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, maybe I can make a video with the cats helping predict the weather.  Only have to be kind of correct and the whole thing can go viral.

[Speaker 1] That's actually a great idea for a startup! I don't think anyone did it before, so you're about to get super rich (only if you agree take me as your partner for sure!)

[Speaker 2] Help me come up with a cool name for us, and you can be on the team.  I am all about bringing my friends along for the ride

[Speaker 1] Hmmm let me think about it for a day or two. So far I think we should call it Meoweather, but maybe I'll think of something more interesting later. That said, deal!

[Speaker 2] Ok, I enjoyed catching up.  Will talk to you again soon

I like blue.

I love tacos.

I love the movie Friday the 13th. I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre the movie.

I love to swim.

I have 3 cats.  My cats love watching movie.

I am demure.

I like tacos.

I live in PA.

I have cats.

I like classic and horror movies. I like popcorn.

[Speaker 1] How often do you go to watch a movie outside?

[Speaker 2] I go on a semi regular basis to our local drive in theater, i'll bring my cats because they enjoy watching too!

[Speaker 1] That is amusing that your cats also like to watch movies. Do they stay put all through the movie or do they distract you. I really wonder.

[Speaker 2] yes they do!  They truly enjoy it and i'll let them have some of my popcorn too.

[Speaker 1] Do they hop along for the movie or just for the popcorn. It is interesting that cats can sit in one place with all the sound from the movies. Do they also react when something scary happens. Excuse my inquisitiveness, but I am really curious.

[Speaker 2] I think for both haha.  They sometimes will jump becuase of the loud sounds but typically stay put.  Would you want to join us sometime?

[Speaker 1] I would love to and am not sure whether I will watch the movie or the cats. You must love your cats to take them along with you.

[Speaker 2] I absolutely adore them!  They're my best friends.  They're showing texas chainsaw massacre next week, do you want to come?

[Speaker 1] I was waiting to see that movie. Shall try my best to squeeze it in somehow and make it. Have you seen that movie already. Is it scary or gory. Scary I can handle but sometimes gory is too much for me.

[Speaker 2] Yes i have seen it! it is really great and it is pretty gory and scary at times.

[Speaker 1] More gory you say and it rings alarm bells in me. Anyways I wanted to see that movie and will try my best to make it.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good, let me know if you can for sure.  I'll bring the popcorn and you like tacos right?


I like to cook.
I like gardening.
I live in a small city.
My children are mostly grown.

I sometimes spend too much money at the casino.

My favorite food is shrimp.

I once met a man I still believe was a vampire.

I love hanging out with my friends.

I enjoy spending time in the kitchen.
I enjoy growing my own food.
I reside in a tiny town.
My kids are basically adults.

I like to gamble.
I like crawdads.
I've seen dracula.
I am a very social person.

[Speaker 1] What did you do today?

[Speaker 2] I spent a little too much at the casino and now eating some shrimp. You?

[Speaker 1] Oh a gambler huh? I am cooking shrimp now, how funny

[Speaker 2] Yeah I gamble too often with my friends. They're so much fun but bad influence

[Speaker 1] I like simple stuff, but I support whatever you want to do. I would rather garden

[Speaker 2] I met a man at our local botanical gardens once. I swear he was a vampire

[Speaker 1] Why do you say that?

[Speaker 2] Well he tried to bite my neck and he was awfully pale

[Speaker 1] Sounds like he liked you!

[Speaker 2] I'm not really sure. It was scary

[Speaker 1] I bet! Where do you live? I'm in a little city

[Speaker 2] Atlantic city near the casinos

[Speaker 1] I bet that gets you in trouble. Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 2] Nope not in a relationship either. I just hang with friends. You?

I like shrimp.
I like simple things, like gardening.
I live in a small city.

I gamble.

I like shrimp. I like gardens.

I live in Atlantic City, Georgia.

I am not married.  I do not have children.

[Speaker 1] I've been invited to a casino with friends, could you recommend any games for beginners?

[Speaker 2] Sure, roulette is a good game for beginners. It has simple rules so is easy to understand.

[Speaker 1] Roulette it is. What are the chances that I could win big in this game?

[Speaker 2] Roulette has the best odds of any game in the casino at roughly 50/50. But be careful you don't spend too much money. I have made this mistake many times before.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. So I should not take too many chances on the roulette? that's what you are saying

[Speaker 2] I am saying that you should only spend what you can afford to lose. How much will you spend?

[Speaker 1] I am thinking roughly 2000 dollars, is that ok?

[Speaker 2] Think of it like this: If you lost 2000 dollars, would this put you in a poor financial position? In other words, can you afford to lose 2000 dollars?

[Speaker 1] wel, I guess my mentality was much more of "in it to win it" but now that you have given me a different perspective, I have changed my mind, ill spend much less

I like shrimp.

I like simple things, like gardening.

I live in a small city.

I have been invited to a casino. I want to win a lot of money. I have $2,000. I don't have a lot of money.

I gamble. I have lost money gambling at the casino. I know how to lay roulette.

I like shrimp. I like gardens.

I live in Atlantic City, Georgia.

[Speaker 1] I didn't win any money, but I didn't lose a lot either.

[Speaker 2] So you broke even?  What game were you playing at the casino?  I like to play slot machines.

[Speaker 1] I played the slot machine. I know it is a game of chance purely but is sure fun. They tell me that the casinos rig the slot machines. Is it true?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it is true.  From what I've learned about slot machines, they are all programmed to release winnings at certain intervals, so there's really no way for the player to control when a jackpot will hit.  I have won a few times on slot machines before.  Whenever I hit big, I tend to walk away and not press my luck.

[Speaker 1] Thats the difficult part. When you win you think you are on a winning streak and keep on playing. Finally you lose everything.

[Speaker 2] That's why I try to stop once I win.  Have you ever lost a considerable amount of money?

[Speaker 1] I did once. It was the same situation. Won first then lost all like I said. It is hard to resist. I will take your advice next time and walk away.

[Speaker 2] Have you been able to garden at all lately?  I'm wanting to fix up the landscaping in my front yard.

[Speaker 1] I was waiting for you talk gardening. I did get involved intensely of late. Got some tomatoe plants and other vegetable plants to lay out a vegetable garden in my backyard.

[Speaker 2] I always have trouble getting good tomatoes to grow; bugs always seem to chew them up before they get perfectly ripe.  Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to help my crop?  In my front yard, I'm hoping to plant some lilac bushes.

[Speaker 1] I have no real expert suggestions except to watch them everyday and see that they are healthy. Fertilise them from time to time and you will see that it pays off. Hope your front landscaping will turn out beautiful. Lilacs will definetly add color.

[Speaker 2] I love the smell of lilacs...I just hope they don't attract too many pests.  I don't do well with insects.

[Speaker 1] I had an interesting conversation with a previous student of mine.

[Speaker 2] What was the conversation about? would you like to share?

[Speaker 1] Well we talked about his career path, he is actually top financial analyst working for a huge bank

[Speaker 2] Wow! that is huge. He must be paying him well. Does he plan to switch career path ?

[Speaker 1] No, he actually enjoys it so doesn't feel the need to switch, and the pay is very very good. How has your job been lately?

[Speaker 2] What can I say, it has been a mixed feeling for me at my job. I hate to see marriages go sour.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine that. Well it is good to go shopping after a stressful day at the job, am I right?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, I just want to go back home and do more research because someone's home is about to break. So, you need every resources you can get.

[Speaker 1] That just shows how dedicated you are to your job, I admire that. What do you do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I love to see marriages flourish, hence why I chose that career path. I had it rough with my divorce parent. I do music.

[Speaker 1] That must have been horrible, but I am glad you chose to help people. What type of music do you like?

[Speaker 2] I love to do gospel music a lot of the time

I like dedicated people.

I am a widow.

I am a very social person. I love the outdoors. I like shopping and people watching.

[Speaker 1] How do you like your job?

[Speaker 2] meh. it is ok i am trying hard to fnd joy in it. its hard to see so much pain on a daily basis

[Speaker 1] Yeah, considering how social you are too I bet it must be draining listening to people talk about their problems. It must be the best feeling though when you are able to better people's relationships.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah to see poeple leaving with smiles is so rewarding unfortunately that is only about 10% of my job. TO make up for it i really through myself into my musci on the weekends to reenergise for the coming week.

[Speaker 1] I remember you telling me about that! Have you created any new songs recently?

[Speaker 2] nothing new yet. But i have finally finihshed a bunch of other songs so that makes 7 complete. 6 more and i am thinking about making a album for fun

[Speaker 1] Wow an album?! That would be awesome. Have you thought about asking the local churches to let you perform your music at their services?

[Speaker 2] I sent out some samples to a few of the bigger ones. but it hasnt been long enough to hear back yet.

[Speaker 1] Well, I just want you to know that if they do let you go perform I will be there every single time ot support!

[Speaker 2] That is so kind of you thank you so much

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can even ask the principal of the school that I work at to let you do a small school concert for the kids! SO many ideas are going through my head. LOL.

[Speaker 2] I have a couple in the old noggin, but nothing put down on tape yet. I guess I should probably do that, but am super lazy these days. How is the teaching going?

[Speaker 1] Teaching isn't as fun as I thought. I think I want to change careers

[Speaker 1] I don't think I want kids. How old are yours?

[Speaker 1] Do you have a babysitter? If you ever need help just let me know! I could use my degree haha

[Speaker 2] Good point. Babysitter rates are crazy these days and I don't blame them in the slightest. I would want to get as much money as possible to deal with children too
