[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hi I am doing okay how are you

[Speaker 1] Not too bad. I'm a zookeeper, I just got home from work

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a very fun job. I style hair at my own shop

[Speaker 1] It is, I have trained over 20 different animals. How long have you done that?

[Speaker 2] Just brought my salon a few years ago but have been doing hair for years

[Speaker 1] My wife and I've worked at the zoo together for 10 years.

[Speaker 2] That's great did you meet there

[Speaker 1] We actually met thru a friend after her breast cancer treatments

[Speaker 2] That was nice I am sorry she had cancer

[Speaker 1] She's good now. Our daughter just graduated highest in her class.

[Speaker 2] Congrats to your daughter. I just got done dying my hair purple

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, it looks great on some people

[Speaker 2] Yeah it does I love being able to have the freedom to do it and still work

[Speaker 1] It must be nice having your own business

[Speaker 2] Yes it is being able to have all my own clients and no boss is great

I'm a Zookeeper.
I have trained over 20 animals.
I have a wife and a daughter.

I own my own business.
I have been a hairstylist for years.
I have purple hair.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from an emergency call to the zoo because one of the elephants fell and twisted his ankle.

[Speaker 2] That's awful! I hope the elephant recovers soon. How do you like working at the zoo? I hope everyday isn't as stressful for you as today has been.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! He seems to be okay, just a bit shaken up. I love working at the zoo. Helping animals is my passion and getting to see them daily brings me a lot of joy.

[Speaker 2] It's so nice to be able to do what you love as a job. That's why I became a hairstylist. Do your wife and daughter like going to the zoo?

[Speaker 1] That's great! What's your favorite part about being a stylist? My wife and daughter love going to the zoo. It's nice that I can bring my daughter after closing hours to see the animals more up close.

[Speaker 2] I love being able to really transform someone's hair. People come in with a very plain style and ask me to do something totally different. They are always my favorite jobs to work on. That sounds amazing for your daughter! She must love that her Dad works at the zoo. Which animal was the most difficult to train?

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a fun time. Maybe my family can visit the salon sometime and get some haircuts. I think one of the Lion's was probably the most difficult, because they are so big it can be a bit daunting.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! I'd love to meet your family. Wow training a lion must be scary! You have much more guts than me that's for sure!

[Speaker 1] Haha! Maybe you can come visit us at the zoo some day and I'll show you around!

[Speaker 2] That would be really cool! I haven't visited a zoo in a long time though I used to enjoy going as a kid. It must be a rewarding job?

[Speaker 1] It's been a very rewarding job. I knew I wanted to work with animals since I was a kid, so I feel really fortunate.

[Speaker 2] Dreams really do come true! I was obsessed with doing my friends hair when I was a kid so I guess you could say I followed my dreams too. which zoo animal is your favorite?

I'm a Zookeeper. I have trained over 20 animals. I really enjoy what I do, it is more a calling than a job.

I have a wife and a daughter. I take my daughter to see the animals  after hours.

I like to show people where I work. I am fulfilling my lifelong dream.

I have purple hair.

I own my own business. I have been a hairstylist for years.It is more than a job to me. I enjoy most the chance to be creative at work. I am fulfilling my lifelong dream.

I would like to see animals since I like them.

[Speaker 1] How did you get into doing hair as a child? Was it something you saw or were around?

[Speaker 2] My mom got me a book when I was a kid for hairstyles and I always loved doing my friends' hair at sleepovers. It was really fun to do, and I liked making people excited about how they looked.

[Speaker 1] Have you found that your approach to styles has changed over the years? Like, do you invent the styles or change them as fashion changes?

[Speaker 2] Ooh, that's a good question. I think I tend to go with trends. Sometimes I'll see a look one of the stylists at my salon does and get inspired by it, but it's also just keeping up with what's popular

[Speaker 1] How do you respond if a client asks for something that you think will look bad?

[Speaker 2] Hahaha sometimes I try to gently guide them toward something else. I make sure to ask them a lot of questions to be sure they understand what they're asking for

[Speaker 1] And what about the other-- if you did your best, but the client is unhappy with the result?

[Speaker 2] That doesn't happen that often, but unfortunately does happen. I always feel bad, because I've done my best but I don't want them to be unhappy. It's kind of a case-by-case basis. We might offer some of their money back, or the opportunity to be seen by another stylist to "fix" it.

[Speaker 1] And for you, you said you now have purple hair. How long have you had that? And have you tried other colors?

[Speaker 2] It's been about a month. I really love it, it took me a while to find a purple dye that stays in my hair. I've tried red highlights before, but this is the first time I've kind of gone crazy with it haha

[Speaker 1] How do people respond to it?

[Speaker 2] If people comment on it, usually they say it's cool. I think anyone who doesn't like it keeps their opinions to themselves.

[Speaker 2] It's going really well. I'm enjoying my US history class a lot right now because it's going beyond what we usually hear in class.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. It's always good to learn new things that interest you, makes it easier to do schoolwork! Watching anything good this weekend?

[Speaker 2] Not really. There's no Nascar on, so I'm not sure what I'll watch. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] I think there's some horse racing on which is my favorite. How are your parents doing?

[Speaker 2] Nice! Do you like any other shows on tv? My parents are good, just busy with school duties. How are your girlfriends?

[Speaker 1] They're good, all working to pay for my ridiculous lifestyle, lol. I'm very lucky. I've been watching a lot of basketball and eating a lot of pizza!

[Speaker 2] That sounds so nice! You sure are lucky. Do you have a favorite basketball team?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I just like watching a good game. How much longer til you get your degree?

[Speaker 2] Makes it more relaxing that way I guess lol. I just started this year so I've got 3 more to go.

[Speaker 1] It'll be awesome once you get it. I defintiely regret not getting a good education, it's a smart move for the future. And teachers are always needed!

I like horse racing.

I like pizza.

[Speaker 1] I tough you were more into car races, like Nascar! I love basketball of course, i've been an NBA admirer for a long time!

[Speaker 2] Of course, watching one those are my part of my typical sunday. But not this one, I have a lot to study! What would you do this weekend?

[Speaker 1] I'll probably be sending some job aplications, it's been a long time since i can't find a nice job where i can stick around!

[Speaker 2] That's bad, maybe I can talk to my parents to see if there are some vacant positions where they teach! I'll definitely let you know their response.

[Speaker 1] it would be very kind of you to do that! I would be very grateful. I should probably get ready for my date tonight!

[Speaker 2] Well at least your love life is going well! I just probably go to grab a bite at the closest McDonald i can find.

[Speaker 1] I do not know how that can be your favorite food, i find it quite interesting! My date is paying tonight, so I can pick any place i want!

[Speaker 2] You are so lucky with girls! All I have in my head right now are a bunch of History facts!

[Speaker 1] I know right! Well, you shloud be proud of yourself, I wish i have continued my studies and get a degree like you are doing know!

[Speaker 2] Is never too late you know that, don't you? Is a lot of work and maybe some sleepless nights but eventually it pays off and all of it is worth the trouble


My wife makes the best pasta.

I draw all the time and I am good at it.

It takes me an hour to drive to work in the morning.

I listen to pink when I am painting.

I am employed at a huge medical facility.

I work in a hospital.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you doing today

[Speaker 2] I'm ok what do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I am an avid drawer, I am great! How about you

[Speaker 2] I like boating! So are you an artist?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I paint and draw. What kinds of boats do you captain?

[Speaker 2] Just little speedboats. It is just something I do in my down tome

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun. Do you work?

[Speaker 2] Yes work at a hospital as a doctor.

[Speaker 1] My sister is a doctor. That's hard work! Lots of hours

[Speaker 2] Yeah most of the time I wish I had more time with my family

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah, family is very important. My wife makes fantastic pasta

[Speaker 2] Do you eat a lot of italian food?

[Speaker 1] Just the pasta my wife makes. Do you like to cook?

[Speaker 1] My wife made a delicious chicken broccoli alfredo. I painted a landscape.

[Speaker 2] What kind of landscape? I love the beach myself.

[Speaker 1] It was a green mountainside, but I am planning on going to the beach soon to paint.

[Speaker 2] So do you you just paint landscapes? I know a guy that does court drawings.

[Speaker 1] I like to paint all sorts of stuff. I paint what I see. I've never done court drawings, but I used to draw Caricature drawings of people, they got a real kick out of it!

[Speaker 2] I've had one of those done before. My old apartment had a huge mural on the building. It was way better than just a blank wall that I see at work everyday.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it was! I believe art makes everything better. You should try to talk your boss into getting a mural painted on the wall! It could boost morale,

[Speaker 2] But with all of the cleaning in a hospital it would get scrubbed away before too long. Maybe if you could have it printed on a wallpaper.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I suppose you are right, I didn't think of all the cleaning that hospitals do. Disinfectant probably isn't so great for artwork...

[Speaker 2] So how is your wife doing?

[Speaker 1] My wife has been doing pretty well, we do our best to keep healthy so we don't have to go to hospital. We like to go jogging in the mornings, what do you do for exercise?

[Speaker 2] I ride about 100 miles a week on my bike. Both on road and off road. Other than that its just swimming and a kettle bell.

[Speaker 1] How was your shift at the hospital?

[Speaker 2] It was really exhausting, I'm glad it's over! I had a patient that was trying to argue with me about my diagnoses!

[Speaker 1] That's too bad. Do you have any more shifts this week?

[Speaker 2] Just one more, thankfully. How is your sister doing? Is she just as busy?

[Speaker 1] She is busy. It seems like she has had a lot of new patients lately. How's the bike riding going?

[Speaker 2] It's been great! It allows me to relieve some stress after a long shift. I like to bike by the water so I can watch the speedboats. Have you been jogging lately?

[Speaker 1] I went a few weeks ago, but got shin splints, so I am resting for a bit. Are the trails by the water busy?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's too bad. The trails can get busy during the day, which is why I try going early in the morning or at night.

[Speaker 1] That would be fun. Are they well-lit? I would hate to run something over in the dark.

[Speaker 2] Yes actually! There's quite a few lampposts that illuminate the trails, and the moon reflects a lot of light off the water at night. It's really beautiful!

[Speaker 1] That would be great. Are there people fishing along the trails? I would like to try that as well.

[Speaker 2] I'm in school, and I volunteer at an animal shelter.

[Speaker 1] You should be a vet! Sounds like youre a big animal lover.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I am thinking about it. Maybe I will just have a zoo at my house.

[Speaker 1] Haha that would work too. Pretty sure you would get locked up for that though.

[Speaker 2] Maybe not a literal zoo, just a couple dogs.

[Speaker 1] That definitely works. I love my puppy.

[Speaker 2] What kind of dog is it?

[Speaker 1] White german shepherd. 2 years old.

[Speaker 1] Yes they do, entertaining to me though

[Speaker 1] Yes! Thank you. How are the cats?

[Speaker 2] They are great, they are currently asleep on the couch. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have a papillon puppy but I am actually more of a cat person

[Speaker 2] Ooh a puppy, that must be lots of fun! I've never owned a dog, just cats.

[Speaker 1] This is my first puppy. I always kept cats but they like lots of space to be independent and roam around and my new house does not accommodate that. I gave my cats to my aunt who loves cats and I get to visit them often. Have you ever seen any of your favorite bands in concert?

[Speaker 2] That's nice of your aunt to take them, I'm sure they appreciate the space. I've seen Metallica and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in concert back in the early 2000s, both amazing to see live! Have you been to many concerts?

[Speaker 1] Yes, the cats are very happy. My aunt spoils them rotten. I have only been to a few concerts. The last one was with Mariah Carey. I would love to see Metallica though. The energy must have been great!

[Speaker 2] Mariah Carey would be good to see live. I'm not a fan, but I can appreciate her vocal range. Metallica was amazing, it was crazy!

[Speaker 1] May I share a secret? I am not really a fan either but she was performing closeby so I thought why not? I am happy I went. which other band would you love to see in concert? I think I would enjoy Bon Jovi

[Speaker 2] haha, sometimes it's just good to get out of the house and enjoy live music. I would love to see Red Hot Chilli Peppers again, or maybe Queens of the Stone Age. Bon Jovi would be awesome live I reckon.

I have a car.

I work out.

I work at Walmart. I was promoted at my job.

I have a dog. I prefer cats.

I have a new house that is small. I gave my cats to my aunt. I visit my cats often.

I saw Mariah Carey at a concert. I want to see Metallica at a concert. I am not a fan of Mariah Carey. I think I like Bon Jovi.

I work at Walmart.

I have 4 cats. I have only owned cats.

My favorite band is Metallica. I like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I'm not a fan of Mariah Carey.

I would like to see Bon Jovi and Queens of the Stone Age at a concert.

[Speaker 1] What types of cats do you have.

[Speaker 2] I have four Chausies, they have these pointy ears rather like a fox and are absolutely adorable. I've named them all  after Metallica band members. What types of cats did you used to have?

[Speaker 1] I used to have white Persian cats. They didn't get along too well with the dog which is why I gave them to my aunt.

[Speaker 2] Aww that's a shame, you must miss them! Oh, have you heard the news about Metallica's latest album?

[Speaker 1] I sure do, luckily I get to visit them whenever I want though at least. I have not heard the news about Metallica's latest album - what's going on with that?

[Speaker 2] Ulrich has said the next Metallica album will be their best and heaviest album yet, I can't wait for it! I've heard they used a rocket fuel engine as a backing track! Are you going to go see them when they start their tour?

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds wicked! I'd like to see them for sure, I guess it all depends on whether I can get my hands on some decent tickets. Do you know when they go on sale?

[Speaker 2] The best bet is to go to their official website where you can book way in advance, I look at it every day so I don't miss out!  I can let you know if I hear anything!

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, good to know. That sounds good, please do. Would you be interested in going to the concert with me when they come around?

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be awesome! We can go by car and share the travel costs? Like that we'll have more to spend on fan mechandise!

[Speaker 1] Good thinking! It will probably end up being the only time I ever get to see them, so having more to remember the experience by will be great.

[Speaker 2] We'll go all out then! I've got some Metallica tshirts too, I can bring one for you. And of course we can play all their old songs in the car on the journey there to get into the mood! Not that I think we'd need any coaxing to be excited!

[Speaker 1] That is good but I don't have enough money and I am in debt right now.

[Speaker 2] I am in debt too. I am a stand up comedian and its real hard to find work

[Speaker 1] That's bad we should go somewhere else how about a electronic music festival?

[Speaker 2] I like some electronic music but not all because a lot of it is fake.

[Speaker 1] Yes like my fake fantasy with living in another country

[Speaker 2] I always wanted to live in another country but I'm stuck in a small boring town.

[Speaker 1] Why? If you want we should live together in nature because its free.

[Speaker 2] A small town like this is not good for anything except gossiping

[Speaker 1] Yes I know comedians also like gossiping do you like it?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes but everything is so politically correct and that ruins most jokes.

[Speaker 1] Politics really make the worlds feel like we are living in a fake world.

[Speaker 2] Most jokes are not politically correct, that's why they're funny

[Speaker 1] Yes you are right but politics should be involved in saving our nature.

[Speaker 2] Comedians cant get gigs at college campuses now. Everybody gets offended

I am going on a nature trip.

I do not have much money. I am in debt.

I am in debt. I work as a stand up comedian.

I like some electronic music.

I live in a small town.

Small towns are good for gossip.

Most jokes are not politically correct.

Comedians can't get work at college campuses.

[Speaker 1] I just paid off some of my debt.

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! I can't wait to pay off mine as well.

[Speaker 1] Have you been able to pay some of your debt off yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've paid off some. But I still have a long way to go.

[Speaker 1] I understand, what is the biggest type of debt you are facing at the moment?

[Speaker 2] Student loans. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Mine was credit cards, do you think you will soon be able to pay off the student loan debt?

[Speaker 2] Well that's good you were able to pay some of that off. They usually have high interest rates! I definitely won't be paying it off any time soon, but I am working on it. I am enrolled in the incomed based repayment.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, it was definitely a relief. I hope you will soon be able to feel this too, does the incomed based repayment help much for staying on track to repay the student loans?

[Speaker 2] It just helps lower the payments and as long as I keep up with the payments for a total of 25 years, the rest will be forgiven. I hope to pay it off before then though. Once I get a better paying job, I will definitely pay more than the minimum.

[Speaker 1] That's a pretty solid strategy. It sounds like the repayment plan is very beneficial. Have you been doing well in making every months payment so far?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but it's not too hard since my income is so low right now that the payment is $0 haha.

I am going on a nature trip.

I do not have much money. I am in debt. I have credit card debt.

I work as a stand up comedian.

I like some electronic music.

I live in a small town.  Small towns are good for gossip. Most jokes are not politically correct.

I have student loans.  I have paid off some of my debt.  I have high interest rates. I am enrolled in income based repayment. My income is low.

[Speaker 1] My debt went down! I can help you lower your debt.

[Speaker 2] Really? Thanks! That'd be really helpful. Did you get your credit card debt down too?

[Speaker 1] Yes, indeed! I got a new credit card that gives you 6 months interest free on balance transfers, so I transferred some of my debt to it! It's called the ADA credit card, check it out!

[Speaker 2] I'll have to. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe now you could take that nature trip you've been wanting to go on!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm making a list of things I will need, such as a new camping tent and camping stove. Do you like going on nature trips?

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. I love nature trips! Though, sometimes I prefer to go to the city since I'm in a small town, and I'm always kind of surrounded by nature.

[Speaker 1] Yes I guess... well you should come and visit me in the city sometime. I could arrange for you to do a comedy gig at our local hall, you could earn some money and sometimes you get good tips from the crowds if they like you.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun! I'll have to start working on some new material then. Most of my jokes are not politically correct, so I don't think they'd go over well with small town crowds

[Speaker 1] Yes but the city is different, people are more modern and open minded, they love jokes, especially the politically incorrect ones!  I think you will be a hit!

[Speaker 2] That's true. I love performing for big city crowds!

[Speaker 1] How about you come down for the Spring bank holiday? There are usually more people on public holidays, I can try and book a slot for you for then.

[Speaker 2] That'd be a good time. I'm sure the weather will be nice too so more people will be out. Thanks!

[Speaker 2] I wish I had money to go. My boys eat me out of house and home

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. Did you paint their room blue?

[Speaker 2] They are teens so they prefer women in bikinis on their walls lol

[Speaker 1] Haha maybe they want to go on an exploring trip with me.

[Speaker 2] My husband and I could use some alone time. What are you exploring?

[Speaker 1] Indian mountains and valleys. Also their culture. I go often there.

[Speaker 2] Perhaps I should go. I feel lost in my life.

[Speaker 2] Where were you a slave?

[Speaker 1] I a village in africa. Now I work as a carpenter

[Speaker 2] That's really cool. How do you like it?

[Speaker 1] It is hard work but it is really rewarding. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I am a bartender. I sell beer.

[Speaker 1] I love beer, but my wife hates it when I'm drunk.

[Speaker 2] I do not blame her

[Speaker 1] I think am a lot of fun when I'm drunk

[Speaker 2] Most people think that way

[Speaker 1] Do you think most people are wrong?

[Speaker 2] I talk to a lot of people. People are people.


I would like to move some place warmer.

I m an out of work farmhand.

I like watching reality television shows.

I live in kansas.

I am studying to be a dentist.
My favorite team is the raptors.
My favorite band is rise against.
I usually go to bed late.
I like sports.

I cannot stand winters.

I am a farm worker, currently not employed.

I watch the voice evey week.

I've a house in the midwest.

I study hard and hope to have my own dental clinic some day.

I like sports.

I enjoy modern punk bands.

I stay up.

I watch espn.

[Speaker 1] Man, it is cold where I'm!

[Speaker 2] Hi. How are you doing today?

[Speaker 1] I'm a little chilly, but good. Looking for work. You?

[Speaker 2] I'm studying to become a dentist.

[Speaker 1] That is great. I was a farmhand. Now I am out of work.

[Speaker 2] That is too bad. Do you like basketball?

[Speaker 1] I do not mind it. One thing I do love is reality tv. You?

[Speaker 2] Same here. I usually go to bed very late, so I watch all of them.

[Speaker 1] Where is it that you live?

[Speaker 2] I live on the east coast

[Speaker 1] I'm in kansas but I would love to be someplace warmer.

[Speaker 2] You should try arizona out.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I should! Bet there are farming jobs there!

[Speaker 2] I think so. You are sure to find something there.

I am looking for work.

I was a farmhand.

I like reality TV.

I want to be a dentist.
I go to bed late.
I live on the east coast.

[Speaker 1] I found a job in Arizona as a farmhand.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, won't you be sad to leave Kansas?

[Speaker 1] Not at all. I prefer a warmer climate, so Arizona should be perfect. People call me crazy thinking that Arizona is the perfect climate. But I love it. I be you would hate the heat, eh? The north east where you are is too cold for me

[Speaker 2] Arizona is too hot for me! I am happy for you though, congrats!! The northeast does have a harsh winter but I won't be sweating like crazy during the summer

[Speaker 1] Yeah, those harsh winters are way too much for me to handle. Thanks for the congrats. My new job will be working in a vineyard. I'm looking forward to it. How is school going for you? You are studying to become a dentist, right? How did you decide to get into that?

[Speaker 2] Vineyard work sounds fun. I will be happy to taste the fruits of your labor :) haha. Yeah I am, when I was a teen I had terrible teeth and my dentist was so kind and patient with me, and now I have a smile I am proud of. It made me realize how closely linked self esteem and your smile are, you know?

[Speaker 1] I'm glad you had such an inspirational dentist. I might have gone to the dentist more if my dentist was as nice as yours. My dentist was a dentist in the Navy, and had a bit of a tough guy attitude. You are right, I never thought about it that way, but a great smile is a big self esteem booster. I bet you will be a great dentist! Probably easy to get in the study hours you need since you go to bed so late anyway

[Speaker 2] haha you know me so well. I didn't know you were in the Navy! How long were you in for?

[Speaker 1] Oh, no, I wasn't in the Navy, it was my dentist who was in the Navy, and he worked in a private practice after he retired. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that one. I thought about joining the Navy, but the ocean wind can be cold, and I don't think I would do very well if I were sent too far north. Can't wait to start my new job though. The grapes on the farm I will work at will be used for some first class wines. I'm excited for that!

[Speaker 2] Ah i gotcha. I was about to make a joke about how crazy it is that you went from an ocean based life to moving to a desert! I can't wait to try some of your wines, will feel really great knowing you helped cultivate the crops that people enjoy so much. Did you specifically look in AZ or were you casting a net far and wide? I know you've been looking for awhile

I was a farmhand.

I like reality TV.

I live in kansas. I would like to live somewhere warmer. I will work as a farmhand in a vineyard in Arizona. I love hot climates.

My dentist was in the navy.

I want to be a dentist.

I go to bed late.

I live on the east coast. I live in the northeast.

I had terrible teeth as a teen.

[Speaker 1] I will be moving to Arizona very soon for my job and am preparing to move.

[Speaker 2] That is so exciting! It will be such a change of pain from Kansas.

[Speaker 1] No kidding! The weather, the people, the food, the landscape. I am excited!

[Speaker 2] Congrats! It sounds like the perfect place for you to settle.

[Speaker 1] I am already dreaming of being there, having a long day of farm work and coming home to some reality TV!

[Speaker 2] What's your favorite reality TV show?

[Speaker 1] There is a great farming show in Discovery that follows a farming family. It's right up my alley! How about you?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy Married to Dentists on Bravo. It's all about wives of dentists. I have been watching as research for my future career.

[Speaker 1] How is school going? I know you stay up late studying into the night.

[Speaker 2] School is tough and challenging, but I am learning a ton and really enjoying it.

[Speaker 1] I can get you in touch with my dentist if you want to chat with him and get some tips?

[Speaker 2] That would be great, especially since I also have a military background. It would be helpful to learn about how that impacted his career.

I was a farmhand.

I like reality TV.

I live in kansas. I would like to live somewhere warmer. I will work as a farmhand in a vineyard on a farm in Arizona. I love hot climates.

My dentist was in the navy.

I am excited to move.

I enjoy a Discovery Channel show about a farm family.

I want to be a dentist. I study a lot, but enjoy the challenge and learning in dental school.

I go to bed late.

I had terrible teeth as a teen.

I like watching the Bravo show Married to Dentists.

I have a military background.

[Speaker 1] I just saw some pictures of my ne housing in Arizona.  It has beautiful views, but I'm sure very different than what you experience in the northeast.

[Speaker 2] I can only imagine. I've traveled around in the military a lot, but I've never spent much time in the southwest. I know its really hot there, but is where you are moving to a desert? I know parts of Arizona is desert.

[Speaker 1] It's not quite a desert, as there's enough rain to support the grapes. That said, for wine, too much rain is bad, so it's fairly dry, relatively speaking.

[Speaker 2] That's cool! Interestingly enough, I heard of another man growing grapes in Arizona, named Maynard Keenan, who was a in a popular metal band. Have you ever heard of him? They made a documentary about his experience called "Blood Into Wine".

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't heard about it, but will definitely check it out! How did you find out about it? Are you into metal?

[Speaker 2] I like a lot of music, but yes, I love metal! But I found it randomly when scrolling through my Netflix a few years ago, so I decided to give it a watch because I was familiar with his band, Tool. It was actually a really refreshing story and provided a lot of interesting insight into the process.

[Speaker 1] That's cool! I'm a country guy, but can get into metal from time to time. When are you going to come visit Arizona?

[Speaker 2] As soon as I can! I'm pretty busy with school currently, and I need to stay focused on studying for our exams coming up. But as soon as I get those out of the way, I'm sure I could take a week to come out and visit! It sounds like a lot of fun, and it would be good to see you.

[Speaker 1] The vineyard has a great picnic area, and I can take you on a private tractor tour! When do you finish up with dental school for good?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I still have a good couple years before I finish that up. Don't listen to the rumors about dentists just being doctors who couldn't make it through medical school, we actually have to go through just as much school as any other doctor. Many people have this misconception.

[Speaker 1] I've heard that the top dental schools are super competitive. Haha we use our teeth all the time, so I guess their caretakers need to be competent.

[Speaker 2] The teeth are so important! It's crazy how some people can overlook that fact and their dental care all together. You only get one set of adult teeth! You've gotta' take care of them! But it will feel really great to help people keep their teeth in good condition and show them good dental practices.

[Speaker 2] Wow I never have time to travel, my hours at the finance office ugh

[Speaker 1] That's too bad. I am a gardener so I guess I take things a little slower

[Speaker 2] Aw I cannot wait to buy my house I am renting an apartment right now.

[Speaker 1] Yea then you might get into some hobbies to get your mind off work

[Speaker 2] Yea hopefully I can find something as close to work, I walk currently.

[Speaker 1] Well that's great. I love being outside. Walking is relaxing

[Speaker 1] I built my own bike from scratch. So if I am not walking I am biking

[Speaker 2] Omg that is awesome, do you work or retired?

[Speaker 1] It was while I was in Brazil actually. It was enjoyable. Have you been to any matches recently?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to watch one in Brazil, some of the best footballers are there. I live beside a stadium actually so I watched my local team yesterday. My wife wasn't too happy with me going though. Do you have a partner?

[Speaker 1] No. I am far too busy with my gardening business.

[Speaker 2] Fair enough, do you ever get lonely then? I thrive of contact with others.

[Speaker 1] No. I see so many people and make so many friends through my gardening. I lead a lovely life.

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear. My garden is very messy and my poor flowers are dying.

[Speaker 1] Perhaps you should hire a company. Although you could probably do it alone or with your wifes help..

[Speaker 2] That is a good idea. Maybe your company! I currently don't have the time to do it myself, as I am just too busy with visiting my ill father.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I bet that is a lot to handle between your father and your finance job

[Speaker 2] Yes it can get quite stressful, but I do what I have to for my family. How are your parents?

[Speaker 1] I think that would be excellent, it's much easier to cope with family around. That would be a very good thing.

[Speaker 2] I think so too - and it can't hurt to have someone else around for me to chat with!  How is work going?

[Speaker 1] That is very true, I wish you all the best! Send my regards please. It's finally warm enough to go outside so gardening will be in full gear soon!

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear - I know how busy you get in the summer!  If you have any time, you should catch a game with me..and maybe my dad! Its so nice to be able to just walk to the stadium.

[Speaker 1] I'd like that, I can definitely free up the time, just have to delegate a few things and I'm clear. You're right, the sights, the sounds, that's what's tough with winter, you miss out on all that.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful, something to look forward to!  You can bring your bike if you'd like and we can do that too if you'd like.  How many miles did you bike last week?

[Speaker 1] I try to ride as much as possible so I lose count these days honestly! I'm just glad I'm back out there. I will bring it along with me and we can hit the new trail there you told me about.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan to me - great idea!

My favorite seafood in lobster.
I live in seattle.
I work at google.
I started at google on an internship.

I love to shop.
I've a lot of friends.
I am in debt.
I drive a bmw.
I am single.

I love to eat crustaceans.
I've lived in washington all my life.
I am employed online.
I do computer and software work.

I hit the mall alot.
I'm very outgoing.
I do not have good credit.
I've a fancy car.
I do not date.

[Speaker 1] Good morning how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hey there, how are you today?

[Speaker 1] Not too bad, just taking a break at work

[Speaker 2] Those are def needed. Lol shopping is my friend haha

[Speaker 1] Haha, food is my friend especially lobster.... Now I really want some lobster..

[Speaker 2] Lobster is amazing!!! I'm in way to much debt to eat that good though lol

[Speaker 1] The solution then would be to become a fisherman and catch yourself some p

[Speaker 2] Never been big on fishing. Being single though, I def have the time for it haha

[Speaker 1] Do you have a job?

[Speaker 2] Not currently. I should probably sell my bmw for money at this point

[Speaker 1] Nice car you know, you should check out internships that's how I got my job

[Speaker 2] That'sn't a bad idea. I do have tons of friends I can contact

[Speaker 1] Friends who aren't shopping p

[Speaker 2] Exactly. Haha I should look into that

[Speaker 1] Well I work at google its been a good job so far

[Speaker 2] That is a really good company to work for from what I hear

I like lobster.
I have a job.
I started at google on an internship.

I like shopping.
I like lobster. I am in debt.
I am single.
I have friends.

[Speaker 1] I love a good plate of sea food. Do you like it?

[Speaker 2] Ummm... YES! Lobster is definitely my favorite. I once cooked it on a camping trip with friends in a big pot over an open fire. Have you ever made your own lobster at home?

[Speaker 1] I love lobster too! Wow that sounds so cool! I haven't made it at home and normally get it in a restaurant so I really need to try and make my own. I'm sorry to hear you're in debt. I hope it isn't too much?

[Speaker 2] It's really not that hard. You just put them in boiling water and set a timer! Just messy to eat, but that's part of the fun. Yeah... maybe it's because I buy too much lobster haha. Most of it is student loan debt though. Do you have any loan debt? I imagine you needed to go to school to get a job at Google.

[Speaker 1] Ha ha! Yeah I went to college so I do have a loan I'll have to start paying eventually. The internships at google are very competitive so having a college degree is really valued.

[Speaker 2] For sure! College degrees are a worthwhile investment if you're smart about it. How do you like working there? It seems fun and laid back, but also really competitive and like the people are hardworking.

[Speaker 1] I really like working there. I feel I have a lot of inside knowledge of the company now which is very interesting. The people are very hardworking and so many of my colleagues have become great friends to me. do you work at the moment?

[Speaker 2] That's good. It sounds like a good work environment. I do work. I'm also in the tech industry as a software developer, but not at Google. Is it hard to focus when you work with your friends or nice to have them around?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes we can a little distracted but overall its great having them around at work. That's impressive. I'm not sure I'd have what it takes being a software developer. Do you need qualifications?

[Speaker 2] I agree. As long as you're all motivated to do your work it can be great to work with friends. Lots of inside jokes and it makes the day go by faster. Yeah, lots of school and training, but there are lots of affordable online programs I think. It's a pretty competitive job market. What do you do at Google?

[Speaker 1] I work in marketing at google. So I help with a lot of the advertisement campaigns. Maybe you've seen one I've worked on somewhere !

[Speaker 2] I'm sure I have. They have ads everywhere! What do you like most about working in marketing?

I like lobster. I have never made lobster at home.

I have student loans from going to college. I worked as an intern for Google.

I like my job at Google and have made friends. I'm not qualified to become a software developer. I work in marketing at Google making advertisements.

I like shopping.

I am single.

My favorite seafood is lobster. I cook lobster at home.

I have student loan debt.

I work as a software developer for a different company.

[Speaker 1] One of my coworkers suggested the funniest slogan for an ad campaign we worked on today.

[Speaker 2] Oh, what is the slogan? You people in advertising are so creative!

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure it'd be appropriate to say, ha! We didn't go with it, but it helped lighten the mood and get creative juices flowing.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to be in your line of work, but I'm so boring... I guess I'm suited to being a software developer, mostly I just program to a set of requirements. By the way, I found a new lobster recipe, it's very simple, maybe you'd like to try it?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to! I've never made lobster so it'll be fun to try. And you're not boring! Being a software developer is cool in its own way.

[Speaker 2] No it's not, it's very boring I tell you! That's why I like to cook, it lets me do something different. Okay so how about you come over this Saturday, I will get the ingredients and show you how to cook my lobster with garlic and herbs recipe.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! I'm not the greatest cook so any tips will be really appreciated!

[Speaker 2] You will cook lobster like a chef when I'm finished with you! What would you like to drink, do you like white wine?

[Speaker 1] I love white wine, I've always preferred it over red. I can't wait. You know, with how accommodating you are, it's a wonder you're still single.

[Speaker 2] It's because I'm a software developer, when I try to explain what I do for a living it usually elicits a polite yawn from my date... and I then I know there won't be a second date. It's a shame people don't like to come to my home on a first date, if not I could woo them with my lobster !

[Speaker 1] I think you'll find a nice IT partner soon who loves technology, haha. Seriously though, it's not that boring of a job! You just gotta find the right person who understands the fun parts of it.

[Speaker 2] I guess I'll have to keep looking. But I'm thinking of starting a food blog so people can read my recipes online.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] Are you a male or a female? Can you type faster?

[Speaker 1] I am a female. Maybe.

[Speaker 2] I would like to make more money. You?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'd like to make more money.

[Speaker 2] I like to write alot. You ever write erotica?

[Speaker 1] No, I sell paper products.

[Speaker 2] Do you work for dunder mifflin?

[Speaker 1] I wish. Do you like cheese? I hate it.

[Speaker 2] I like cheese. It would be better if you liked it.

[Speaker 1] I love to cook, what about you?

[Speaker 2] I would rather you cook for me.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 2] No, but do you want to have some?

[Speaker 1] I have a four year old daughter.

[Speaker 2] That's so great. I would love a four year old.

I wish I made more money.

I sell paper products for a living.

I wish I worked for Dunder Mifflin. I hate cheese.

I love to cook.

My daughter is 4.

I wish I made more money.

I like to write erotica.

I am a fan of the TV show The Office.

I like cheese.

I don't love to cook.

I don't have kids. I would like to have kids.

[Speaker 1] What kind of cheese is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] I'm not a big fan of cheese to be honest. Unless it's on a pizza!

[Speaker 1] Interesting. I thought you said you liked cheese the last time we spoke. I'm not wild about cheese either, it upsets my stomach a lot of the time. It's just not worth it.

[Speaker 2] Haha you know me so well! Obviously I love it!  I was being serious about pizza though great for when I can,t be bothered to cook. Though I suppose you feel differently?

[Speaker 1] I have tried some cheese-less pizzas. I know it sounds odd since most of the allure of pizza IS the cheese but there are some surprisingly decent cheese-like products that aren't cheese but give you the cheese experience. I've tried a few while making dinner over the last few months.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awfull haha! What does your daughter think of them?

[Speaker 1] I have found that if you don't mention those type of details - it works out just fine hahahaha. You should give it a try sometime. You might be surprised. There's a place on Water Street that offers a cheese substitute on some of the pizzas. If you didn't know, you probably couldn't tell the difference.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'd be interested in trying it sometime! By the way how is work going?

[Speaker 1] I'm still in the paper products industry. I like the job enough, just wish I made more money. I'm looking into some potential side jobs that I could do when I have time to help with that. How about you? I remember you saying you felt similarly about your job.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you are very right! I'd love to be getting paid more than I am just now but I suppose everyone probably has the same thought. Though if I'm really honest if I could give up my current job to publish my short stories AND make money off doing that, I'd be the happiest person on the planet!

[Speaker 1] Have you tried to do anything to make that happen, like contacting publishers or anything?

[Speaker 2] Nope not yet, I just feel like they need a bit more work before I send them off. Passion doesn't pay the bills! Though to be honest I could spend a bit more time working on them rather than procrastinating. The tv is never off in my flat haha

I wish I made more money.

I sell paper products for a living. I wish I made more money.  I'm looking for a second job. I wish I worked for Dunder Mifflin.

I love to cook.

My daughter is 4.

I don't like cheese because it upsets my stomach.

I wish I made more money at my job.

I like to write erotica. I love writing short stories. I don't work on my short stories that much.

I am a fan of the TV show The Office.

I like cheese. I don't love to cook.

[Speaker 1] Have you made any progress on your short stories?

[Speaker 2] I haven't been able to work so much lately. I've been sort of down and doing nothing but watching tv.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, that's unfortunate. Hope it turns around for you soon. What's got you feeling blue these days?

[Speaker 2] My job just isn't going in the direction I thought it would. I'm struggling to make ends meet. I thought I'd have more opportunity for advancements.

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that, I don't blame you in that case. Probably one of those "who knows who" places. I'm sure you've considered working elsewhere - anything more enticing on the horizon?

[Speaker 2] I've been looking around. I'm currently working on updating my resume and grappling with wheter to include my writing in it. I feel like people may not take me seriously give the subject.

[Speaker 1] Nonsense - have a little faith! Your writing is actually very impressive. Besides, I think 50 Shades of Gray kind of proves how the subject can be taken seriously by people. I think it would be a positive to include.

[Speaker 2] You may be right. I'll add it and see how it goes. I remember you were on the job hunt as well. Have you had any success in landing a second job? I know it's really hard right now.

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I keep kicking tires on Dunder Mifflin but to no avail. Michael pretended to be a squirrel answering the phone last time. I just really wish I made more money.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I definitely get that. Sometimes I feel like the people at your job make work harder than the actual job itself; if that makes sense. I'd love to work somewhere that I rarely had to interact with other people.

[Speaker 1] That definitely makes sense. Sort of like if those people weren't the way they are, the job isn't so bad. If you could get in on a writing position somewhere, that probably would really limit human interaction.

[Speaker 2] I would love that. Honestly the peace of mind alone would be worth it 100 percent. Today's workforce is exhausting for the little pay and then you have to be mentally drained too. We're really overworked!

[Speaker 2] That is cool. My family supports my pro skiing career

[Speaker 1] Well that's good. You have any pets? I am from tx where do you live?

[Speaker 2] No I do not have pets no time for them. I am in the west ants

[Speaker 1] Oh ok. I have got 3 dogs and 2 cats. Busy busy lol

My name is Tami. I am a natural redhead. My hair is reddish brown.

[Speaker 1] When do you next competitively ski?

[Speaker 2] Next weekend! It's supposed to be perfect weather next week for that. I'm very excited. Do you think your boys would like to try sometime in the future?

[Speaker 1] I've gone skiing many times with my wife, but we were thinking about taking our 12 and 14 year old sons skiing for their first time. They love all sports, and they like excitement, so I think they will love it.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! It is such a rush. When will your wife be finished her nursing training?

[Speaker 1] She only has 1 more year to go to get her nursing degree and license. I'm excited that both of us will be working in the medical field. She'll be making a lot more money once she starts working as a nurse, and this will help a lot. So, are you well prepared for the ski competition, Tami?

[Speaker 2] I will be soon. I'm going to a physiotherapy appointment this week to prepare. I'll also get a massage later on to really loosen up. Do you work full time?

[Speaker 1] Good. I hope you win! Yes, I'm working full-time as a physical therapist and driving for Uber on the side to make ends meet, so I'm very busy.

[Speaker 2] That's fantastic. Plus the pets must keep your family occupied on top of that, too. Do you get any wild weather down in Texas while out on the road with your Uber gig?

[Speaker 1] It hasn't been windy lately, thankfully. It's definitely not cold and snow-covered like it is by you.

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear. But I imagine it gets quite hot at times. A coworker told me an anecdote about how he fell asleep by the pool on vacation in Texas and woke up with an insane sunburn.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, you can definitely burn really easily here. I would like to go skiing sometime, maybe in California.

[Speaker 2] I would recommend checking out the hills in Northern California. It's so popular that even Canadians come down from British Columbia, where they have their own great options to ski.

My name is John. I have two sons: 12 and 14 year old kid. They both play football.

I work as a physical therapist and drive for Uber part-time. My wife is training to be a nurse. My wife has one more year left to finish her nursing training.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

I love red hair. I live in Texas.

I want to ski sometime in California.

I'm a pro ski racer. I have broke my arm before skiing. My family are supportive of my career.

I have a coworker who once got badly sunburned in Texas.

I live in Northern California.

[Speaker 1] So how many years have you been competitive skiing?

[Speaker 2] I've been skiing since I was five, and competitive skiing since I was 16. It's pretty much been my whole life.

[Speaker 1] Well its no wonder that you're as good as you are then!  Are you all healed up from your broken arm?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I still go to PT for it, but they cleared me last week! Thill will be my first competition since the accident.

[Speaker 1] That's wonderful news I know you'll do great and I can't wait to hear all about it.  Would love to have you come visit us in TX once the season is over.  The boys' football games are getting really instense now that they're getting older and I know you'll get a kick out of it.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good vacation! My mind is on skiing so much, I pretty much have to go somewhere flat to get my mind off of it. I'd love to see them play too.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good - and after that of course I would love to come to CA and get a personal ski lesson from the best skiier I know, is that alright with you?  I'm sure I could clear my Uber schedule :)

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sounds great! You know, I took an Uber for the first time last week. It was very interesting. How long have you been driving for them?

[Speaker 1] Its been 3 years now; so hard to believe.  I just love that I can make my own hours to work around both my PT schedule as well as my wife's schooling.  Nice to have the extra cash too!

[Speaker 2] That seems like a big bonus. My Uber driver was nice, he gave me a bottled water and was very chatty. Is your wife excited to being close to finishing her schooling?

[Speaker 1] That's a nice touch!  I'll have to remember that for my drives.  She has only 2 months left of school and then she moves to the hospital to shadow other nurses.  She's doing really well and I'm very proud of her for going back to school because I know it wasn't an easy decision.  Hey maybe she should join us on our ski trip in case I don't learn as quickly as I think I will, haha!!

[Speaker 2] That would be a great graduation gift! Look at the bright side, if she comes along then she could tend to any broken bones we may get from crashing into trees!

I work as a physical therapist and drive for Uber part-time. I have worked for Uber for three years.

My wife is training to be a nurse. My wife has one more year left to finish her nursing training. My wife is in nursing school.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

I love red hair. I live in Texas.

I want to ski sometime in California.

I competitively ski next week. I have a physiotherapy appointment this week to help prepare for the ski competition. I started skiing when I was five years old.

I live in Northern California.

I had a broken arm.

I have used Uber.

[Speaker 1] Have you skied any new slopes lately?

[Speaker 2] Nah, I've had to take a break from skiing while my arm's been healing, but I can't wait to get back out there soon.

[Speaker 1] Oh, well certainly take the time to heal up. Which arm did you end up of breaking?

[Speaker 2] It was my left arm. Unfortunately, I am a lefty, so it's made some things very difficult these past few months.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I bet. Luckily you have an excellent support system at home. How long have you been skiing?

[Speaker 2] I've been skiing since I was pretty young. My uncle started taking me many years ago, and I guess I must have really enjoyed because I haven't stopped since then. I keep looking up new places I'd like to try out, and it's so frustrating having to wait to see any of them in person.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that is great that family has helped you learn. Well, I would love to take a trip to California soon! Maybe I could take some lessons from you?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah sure, you should bring the kids too. I bet it'd be a lot of fun! I just hope that I'll have healed up by then.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be great for the kids to learn how to ski. Would you be willing to help the kids learn how to ski too? I would be willing to purchase your ski lift ticket and lunch!

[Speaker 2] Yes of course, I'm sure it'd be a great experience for them. Everyone has to start somewhere. Do your kids enjoy many outdoor activities?

[Speaker 1] Yes, they love to be outdoors. We spend a lot of time outdoors at the park and hiking! I try to keep the family healthy.

[Speaker 2] That's great. Too many kids these days don't get to have those kinds of experiences much, if at all, anymore. Childhood obesity always makes me feel so bad for the kids and the direction our society is heading.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I'm able to focus more with my music since I'm online

[Speaker 1] What kind of music do you play?

[Speaker 2] I don't I like to rock out to it though lol

[Speaker 1] I am a little old for the loud rock music, haha

[Speaker 2] How old lol? I am getting ready for work.

[Speaker 1] I am 77, I do not work much anymore but I love to spend time in the garden

[Speaker 2] Oh, really? What do you grow?

[Speaker 1] Flowers, herbs and vegetables. This year I grew lots of tomatoes!

[Speaker 2] I love fruits an vegetables straight out the garden!

[Speaker 1] I agree, there'sn'thing better! What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 2] I work for a cab company got a contract

I am 77 years old.

I love rock music. I am taking courses online.

I work for a cab company.

[Speaker 1] I am on the way to my home now.

[Speaker 2] How long will at take to reach home? Any plan for growing veggies this weekend?

[Speaker 1] A little while I would imagine. With my age, it gets harder to move along like I used to.  I want to try and grow some tomatoes, I really like them! What is your plans for this weekend?

[Speaker 2] That's great! This is the right time to start seedling I believe. I love tomatoes too. This weekend I will prepare for my upcoming final test for the course.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Best of luck friend! What do you study?

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much! I am currently doing a course on physical education.

[Speaker 1] Oh! What is it like? I couldn't imagine doing anything like that at my age.

[Speaker 2] It's all about your physical activities, diet plan and moreover how to stay healthy and fit.

[Speaker 1] Oh lovely. Definitely sounds like a lot to take in! Do you work too?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have to do workout and track my daily performance and fill out the log everyday. It's motivate me to do daily workout.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can come with you one day, though I am a bit slow. Does sound a lot of fun!

[Speaker 2] That is a wonderful idea! We will do some slow moves like yoga with rock music. Sounds funny! I will take some gardening tips from you.

I am 77 years old.

I love rock music.

I work for a cab company. I work every day

[Speaker 1] How is studying for your final test going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well, I think I'm ready for the test. How's your garden doing, did your herbs and vegetables survive the recent frost we had?

[Speaker 1] Oh good, I'm glad, I hope it goes well for you! Yeah they seem to be ok thanks, Hopefully that will be the last one we have now for a while! Do you spend a lot of your class outdoors?

[Speaker 2] Oh its good your plants are doing well! No, lately it's been all theory... I feel like I've been cooped up indoors for weeks! After my test I plan to spend a whole day out of the house. I might try my hand at gardening. I've always wanted to plant a tree... what is good to plant at this time of year?

[Speaker 1] Oh you could plant a crab apple tree maybe? Do you have a big garden? I love my garden, it really keeps me active and busy.

[Speaker 2] No it's only a little garden really, how big does a crab apple grow to? I don't want the neighbours complaining it's blocking their light...

[Speaker 1] They are pretty small as far as trees go, but if you are worried about your neighbours maybe you could get a dwarf tree that you could keep in a pot? A cute little lemon tree would be nice, great for gin and tonics, haha!

[Speaker 2] I've tried keeping a tree in a pot before, but it always dies... I think I over water it. I really want to plant one in the ground. I'll see if I can buy a lemon tree from the local nursery. Are you entering this years Chelsea flower competition?

[Speaker 1] Go for it, a little lemon tree will be great! Just make sure you can keep it nice and warm over winter. Oh no, I'm not good enough for the flower competition, but I'll definitely be watching to see if I can pick up any new inspiration.

[Speaker 2] I think you are better than you know, you just need to have more confidence in yourself! You know so much about plants... I bet you listen to gardener's question time on the radio!

[Speaker 1] Haha, I do listen to that when I remember it's on! Maybe I'll do it in a year or so. How have things been with you at work lately, you must get so tired working all the time and studying!

[Speaker 2] Yes you definitely should! True, I am a bit fed up... that's why I'm trying to find something new to do, like planting a tree. Maybe you could come with me to the nursery to help me pick one out?

I am 77 years old.

I grow flowers, herbs, veggies in my garden. I enjoy gardening. My plants survived the recent frost. I like lemon in my gin and tonic.

I don't garden competitively. I want to watch the Chelsea flower competition.

I have listened to the gardening radio show.

I love rock music.

I am taking a class on physical education. I need to take a test. I am studying theory. I don't go outdoors often. I want to start gardening. I have a small yard. I have neighbors. I am interested in planting a lemon tree.

[Speaker 1] I learned new tips about growing vegetables on the gardening radio show.

[Speaker 2] What kind of tips do you have to share with me about gardening?

[Speaker 1] Be patient.  Sometimes we want things to just start blooming already and neglect the small things.  Also, know what flowers work best in different areas.  If you have little shade aim for those plants that prefer lots of sun.

[Speaker 2] Would it be better to start a garden with flowers or vegetables?

[Speaker 1] Well, I guess it depends on what your goal is.  Are you wanting to have some vegetables to eat or are you wanting a bouquet of flowers to look at?

[Speaker 2] I guess my biggest concern about a garden is being able to grow something with killing it, LOL.

[Speaker 1] LOL!  I really understand.  If you like cucumbers or carrots then try those, because they are pretty easy to grow and are perfect for people learning.  Sunflowers might give you the best of both worlds if you like the sunflower seeds they produce.

[Speaker 2] Can you mix flowers and vegetables in the same space without it causing a problem?

[Speaker 1] Oh sure, but you might check with the people in the garden center to get the best mix.  There is no rule against it and some have benefits, but you don't want to pick a flower on accident.  I'm so excited about you looking into gardening.

[Speaker 2] Going to a garden center is good advice. I'm sure I could find a lot of good possibilities for my garden there.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a little section of your yard that you plan on growing the plants in?

[Speaker 2] I have a nice spot in the backyard all picked out just waiting for me to put something there.

[Speaker 1] Hi friend, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Hi! Sorry I was late, I was running behind as usual.

[Speaker 1] Are you always busy? I hope you have some fun on saturday!

[Speaker 2] I usually am. Especially with work. I wish I had time for fun!

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear. Do you work out at all? I just got back from gym.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes after work. The guys get mad at me in the showers.

[Speaker 1] Why do they get mad? That isn't very polite.

[Speaker 2] I always sing songs very loudly.

[Speaker 1] Good for you! You sound happy in there. I like fun people.

[Speaker 2] I'm a happy person. My best friend likes being around me too

[Speaker 1] Lovely. Do you go to movies? I love movie time.

[Speaker 2] When I have time after work sometimes. What movies do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like drama usually, but if movies have my favorite actors I'd consider them.

[Speaker 2] My roommate and I are going to the movies later. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] A ghost story. That's my favorite for this year.

[Speaker 2] I will tell him that we should see it! Thanks!

I go to the gym.
I like fun people.
I like drama movies.

I don't have a lot of free time.
I go to the gym.
I have a roommate.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite song to sing in the shower?

[Speaker 2] I know its a little childish, but I still sing the rubber ducky song. I even have a rubber duck in the shower!

[Speaker 1] Nothing wrong with that. Hopefully that is at your home, not the gym

[Speaker 2] LOL. I don't sing in public, let alone the gym. My roommate is the only one who gets to hear me sing. Do you sing in the shower also?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes. The acoustics are great! Have you been to the gym lately?

[Speaker 2] I was just there this morning, I try to go every morning when I get the chance.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Does your roommate go with you?

[Speaker 2] No, unfortunately our schedules don't really work together. It would be nice to have someone to spot me though!

[Speaker 1] Oh I am sure. With your busy schedule you have to go when you can, I suppose.

[Speaker 2] It is important to make the time! I can really tell when I miss a few days.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I know. So can I! It is hard to find motivation sometimes though.

[Speaker 2] It can be, but I just remember how bad I felt when I was overweight. Going to the gym has kept me in shape, so that's all the motivation I need. What motivates you?

I like fun people.

I like drama movies.

I don't have a lot of free time.

I go to the gym.

I have a roommate.

I don't sing in public.

I try to go to the gym every morning. I can tell when I miss a few days at the gym. I was overweight. Going to the gym has kept me in shape.

[Speaker 1] I was just singing to myself in the shower, it's good that I don't have an audience!

[Speaker 2] I hear you on that. What song were you singing?

[Speaker 1] I don't remember but I can tell you it was not the rubber ducky song that you love to sing.

[Speaker 2] That's unfortunate. You're missing out; the rubber ducky song makes taking a shower a really euphoric experience.

[Speaker 1] I have to get myself a rubber duck like you have, too. Did you make it to the gym this morning?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I ended up doing mostly cardio but I did get some curls and bench presses in. Have you gone yet today?

[Speaker 1] No, I just took a short run this morning and will go to the gym later. Are you home alone or is your roommate there today?

[Speaker 2] Home alone currently. Roommate has been gone a few days, said something about attending some sort of rally before he left. It's been nice having it so quiet and all to myself.

[Speaker 1] I understand that feeling. I enjoy my alone time. How much have you been bench pressing lately?

[Speaker 2] My 8 rep sets are still 165 lbs, but I did manage to finally do a 225 1-rep press so I'm proud about that. How's progress going for you?

[Speaker 1] I have not been able to do any lifts or been presses lately due to a shoulder issue. Congrats on the 225, when are you going to try 230?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that. Hopefully it heals up quick. I'll probably see about doing 225 a few more times over the next couple of weeks before trying 230. Don't want to injure myself or anything by rushing it.

I go to the gym. I can tell when I miss a few days at the gym. I like running.

I like fun people.

I like drama movies.

I like singing in the shower. I live alone. I do not have a rubber duck.

I like being alone.

I injured my shoulder. I cannot weightlift.

I don't have a lot of free time.

I go to the gym.

I have a roommate.

I sing the rubber ducky song. I have a rubber duck in the shower. I don't sing in public. I like to sing.

I like being home alone.

I can bench press 165 lbs for multiple reps. I can only do 225 lbs for a single bench press. I will practice bench pressing 225 lbs.

[Speaker 1] Did you increase your reps on 225 lbs?

[Speaker 2] I'm still working up to it. I've made it up to 180 now doing multiple reps. That's getting easier so soon I'll bump it up some more.

[Speaker 1] Nice! That's great that you've been showing progress.  I'd like to lift weights, but my shoulder injury really gets in the way.  I like running though.

[Speaker 2] Running is good, it's a great way to stay in shape and get exercise. And you can run in lots of interesting places to keep it fresh. Where do you like to run?

[Speaker 1] Yea -  I love running on the boardwalk by the beach or around a reservoir that has a wooded trail.  I go to the gym to run in the winter, but I definitely prefer going outside for my runs whenever I can.

[Speaker 2] That's really cool that you can run near the beach. I've though about taking up running but I haven't yet. Maybe I will if I can find some cool places to go.

[Speaker 1] Yea it's a great way to explore new places.  I even enjoy running when I go on vacation because I get to see places that wouldn't be as easy to explore by car.  I was in Florida recently and got to see interesting birds and lizards while running there.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! You're inspiring me to take up running. Although I don't know that I want to see any lizards while I'm out. Where you in Florida for fun or work?

[Speaker 1] Haha, ehh they were small and harmless.  I was visiting my aunt and uncle for a few days.  It was nice to enjoy the hot weather because it had been a long winter here in New Jersey.

[Speaker 2] I bet. That would be a really nice change. I've never been to Florida. Is it as pretty as I hear?

[Speaker 1] Yea, I mean obviously it's a large state so it's different depending on where you go.  I was in Clearwater Beach and it was beautiful.  White sand beaches, palm trees, clear water.

[Speaker 2] That sounds beautiful. Hopefully someday I can get away for a vacation. Right now it's really hard to get away from work.

[Speaker 2] I recently proposed to my long time girlfriend so saving for the wedding.

[Speaker 1] Are you having a big wedding or a small wedding?

[Speaker 2] I will only be having a small gathering, what's a good show to watch on Netflix?

[Speaker 1] That's nice. There is a series on there called day breakers that's really good. Are you keeping all 3 jobs after the wedding?

[Speaker 2] I will definitely check it out. I'll be dropping one job, as I believe I will be getting a promotion.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is awesome. I've been thinking about changing jobs.

[Speaker 2] Switching sometimes helps with getting better pay. Will it still be in the fast food industry, or elsewhere?

[Speaker 1] Maybe something in a BBQ joint. Then I'll always smell a lot better than mcdonalds.

[Speaker 2] Haha. BBQ is always good. Hopefully you'll find someone blonde there too.

[Speaker 1] I'm usually not too picky but I'll take it. Any ideas on the honey moon yet?

[Speaker 2] We're thinking of going to Catalina Island in California. I heard the diving experience there is amazing.

[Speaker 1] Oh I heard they don't have any cars, only golf carts on Catalina Island. But diving in the Pacific should be great any where.

[Speaker 2] I would love to try driving a golf car. How's your writing coming along?

I am native.

I have brown hair.  I prefer blonde hair, but I'm not picky.

I like Van morrison.

I am engaged to my girlfriend. I am saving for the wedding.I'm having a small wedding.  My girlfriend is a ginger.

I'm thinking about taking my honeymoon at Catalina Island in California.

I like avenged sevenfold.

I have three jobs, but I'm getting rid of one.

I like BBQ.

[Speaker 1] I finally decided to go get a new job and it was at a BBQ place!

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds like both of our dream job!!  Please let me know when you're working next so I can come visit you.  What dish are they known for?

[Speaker 1] That would be cool! I'm still learning the ropes but I've made some good racks of ribs. Do you prefer wet or dry rub? I think I prefer dry.

[Speaker 2] I prefer dry too.  Although for me, I still need sauce on the side or its not BBQ, you know? Are they hiring at your BBQ place?  I got rid of my third job and realized I really did need a third job to save for the wedding.

[Speaker 1] Yep that's the nice thing about dry rub is you can pick your sauce to put on it later. I can ask my boss what we have available! We just lost one of our top pit masters so I'm sure we could use some help. Are you a good cook?

[Speaker 2] Well...let's just say I'm still learning.  I have a lot of patience and am willing to learn, let's just say that!  Could you send me some of those BBQ youtube videos you like to watch?

[Speaker 1] Definitely! The nice thing about BBQ is it's hard to screw up since it takes so long to cook. There's a channel called How to BBQ Right that has a ton of great videos.

[Speaker 2] Thank you, I'm going to check it out right now.  I always trust your youtube and netflix recommendations so thank you! I still need to check out Day Breakers after how much you raved about that one!

[Speaker 1] It's a fun show! Full of teenage drama but told in an adult way so it's not too overly dramatic. How's the wedding planning going?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good one!! It's going really well although as I mentioned...cash is tight! But we learned that the first thing to do to cut down on the budget is to slim down the guest list.  We're thinking only about 30 people so hopefully that will help.  Other than that..I'm letting my girlfriend make most of the decisions!

[Speaker 1] That's probably for the best. Weddings are for the wife in my opinion. Are you serving BBQ at the reception?

[Speaker 2] We absolutely will be doing that!  BBQ, coleslaw, mac and cheese...very casual and just the way we roll.   More money for the honeymoon that way!  Have you been to Catalina Island before?

I am native.

I work at Mcdonald, but want to work in a BBQ restaurant. I'm thinking about getting a new job. I will talk to my boss about job openings.

I like Van morrison.

I watch a lot of television. I like to watch youtube videos. I write. I binge on Netflix. I like a Netflix series called Day Breakers. I like drama shows.

I cooked racks of ribs. I like using a dry rub. I watch YouTube videos about how to BBQ.

I am engaged to my girlfriend. I am saving for the wedding. I'm having a small wedding.  My girlfriend is a ginger.

I like avenged sevenfold.

I like BBQ. I also like dry rubs. I am a novice cook. I want to learn more about cooking BBQ.

I use YouTube and Netflix. I have not watched the show called Day Breakers.

My girlfriend is doing most of the wedding planning. I want BBQ, coleslaw, and mac and cheese to be served at my wedding. I want to save our money for the honeymoon at Catalina Island in California. I am interested in Catalina Island.

[Speaker 1] I talked to my boss. She said I should bring you in for an interview if you are interested in another job.

[Speaker 2] What shifts are they looking for and did they mention a base pay?  I am definitely thinking about it.

[Speaker 1] I think we are paying $15/hour now. I'm not sure about the shifts though.

[Speaker 2] That's a nice starting pay.  When is the earliest we can interview?  I think this would be really good to help work towards my honeymoon.

[Speaker 1] I'll ask her during my next shift. Hopefully she can setup something for you soon. You ever work in fast food before?

[Speaker 2] I didn't work at a fast food restaurant, but Lucky's Snacks and Gas down the corner had a little hub where we fried some stuff.  I think I would catch-on pretty fast.

[Speaker 1] It's not like it's rocket science or anything, LOL. With your background I'm sure you would do well here.

[Speaker 2] I am getting pretty excited about this.  Do you think I have a good shot at getting the job?

[Speaker 1] I think you've got a good shot. My boss is always going on about how we need to fill the shifts up.

[Speaker 2] Alright!  You have been there for a year and a half, right?  I bet you have learned a lot on how to run a store, maybe we could open our own BBQ sometime with all of that expertise!

[Speaker 1] Thinking big. I like that. I'll make sure to put in a good word for you when I ask my boss about that interview.

[Speaker 2] I really appreciate it.  Every little bit of money can help me reach my goal and I'm liking the thought of $15/hour.
