My mom is a janitor.
I listen to death metal.
I still live at home.
I am in college.

I am very genuine, and don t like small talk.

I take everything literally.

I have aspergers.

I started a new job this year, which is helping me learn more about socialization.

My mother is a pro cleaner.
I like hardcore music.
My parents are very patient with me.
I'm a student at the university.

I prefer things be straight to the point.

I'm a very open and truthful person who takes things as they're.

I have a learning impairment.

My newest career has taught me to be social.

[Speaker 1] Thank goodness we have a few day break from college this week.

[Speaker 2] I guess. I don't go to school.

[Speaker 1] I can not wait to graduate and move out of my moms house.

[Speaker 2] I have to live with my mom, I am disabled.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I guess we are both in the same boat. Do you like heavy metal music?

[Speaker 2] I do like metal, though it isn't made of actual metal.

[Speaker 1] I meant the music. What type of music do you enjoy?

[Speaker 2] I like classical. It is very soothing.

[Speaker 1] I bet it is. My mom sleeps days, I should get her some classical to relax.

[Speaker 2] That would help her a lot. The lady I work for sleeps with it too.

[Speaker 1] Well my mom does janitorial work all night, needs her rest.

[Speaker 2] My mom is a nurse and she makes jewelry

[Speaker 1] Sounds like she keeps busy. Do you help with the jewelry?

[Speaker 2] No, I do not have her skills. Maybe one day I could learn.

My mom is a janitor.

I don't go to school.

My mom is a nurse.

I do not have skills to make jewelry.

[Speaker 1] Today was my first day of break and it was so refreshing.

[Speaker 2] Breaks from school or work are always so good, it is nice to get out of the routine for a while and be able to do something else. Do you have any plans what you gonna do?

[Speaker 1] My mom is trying to rangle me into helping her with her janitorial duties, but I'm hoping I can get away to catch a movie or study! Trying to keep ahead in school to graduate early. I'm sorry that you don't go to school. Do you ever miss it? What do you like to do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I hope your mom will allow you to do what you want as well, not just helping her. Yes I miss the school sometimes but luckily I can keep myself busy at home. I like watching movies and crime series. And classical music as you know, that's my favourite.

[Speaker 1] Ooh, have you ever seen the TV show Bones? I have found a great appreciation for Beethoven, myself.

[Speaker 2] No I haven't seen that one but will watch it next time. Last one I enjoyed was Mindhunter, I can recommend. Watched it continuously for like 5 hours.

[Speaker 1] You should, it's captivatingly good. I think I binged the whole show in like, a week or two. I haven't heard that but will check it out! I love those types of shows; the ones that you can just immerse yourself in for hours on end.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I love that too. Sadly it is not that common, I guess it's not very easy to make a really good movie. Do you listen to classical music sometimes? Anyone else apart from Beethoven?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do. The song "Just" by David Lang has been a favorite lately; though I'm not sure if it's truly classical or not.

[Speaker 2] I am gonna check that one out, didn't hear it yet. I like to listen to Andrea Bocelli as well, I find his voice very calming. Best to listen to when I get upset sometimes.

[Speaker 1] I'll have to check that out as well! I love music when I'm upset.

[Speaker 2] Look him up, he is Italian but sings in English as well. To be honest language is not important when it comes to beautiful music, what do you think?

My mom is a janitor.

I like David Lang.

I don't go to school.

I am disabled so I have to live with my mom. My mom is a nurse.

I like classical music. I find it soothing. I listen to music when upset. I like Andrea Bocelli. I appreciate music more over lyrics.

I do not have skills to make jewelry.

Interests include classical music, movies, and crime series.

I like to binge watch series as well.

[Speaker 1] I checked out Andrea Bocelli and think you may have just introduced me to my new favorite artist.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you like him. I listened to some David Lang upon your recommendation. Interesting composer.

[Speaker 1] Huh, another I've never heard of. Love it! I'm going to have an awesome list just from you soon. Are you watching any good shows right now?

[Speaker 2] Well, I just finished Mindhunter which is about FBI agents. I just started watching True Detective.

[Speaker 1] I loved True Detective you'll have to let me know what you think of Ray after you finish season one. I just started Brigerton on Netflix, not my typical show but my sister recommended it.

[Speaker 2] I've also been meaning to check out Bones at some point. Do you have much time to binge watch? You're finishing up in school, right?

[Speaker 1] I spend more time than I should watching shows lol. I am in my last year at college and I'm debating about grad school or not. I'm really ready to be in the field but a masters makes sense.

[Speaker 2] I suspect just having the advanced degree makes it easier to get a position, even if you feel you don't need to learn a lot more.

[Speaker 1] Exactly. Plus it would help to defer my loans until I knew I could get a position to help repay them. Have you thought about going back to school, I remember you were always good with numbers

[Speaker 2] Yes. I am planning to take some accounting classes from home. Attending a traditional school is a challenge for me, though I may do that some day.

[Speaker 1] You would be an amazing accountant! You were the only reason I passed calculus lol. Oh! You should check out the show numbers! You might really like the dynamic between the main character and his brother

[Speaker 2] I haven't even heard of that one. There are so many shows on nowadays!

I have a few days break from college this week. I can't wait to graduate and move out of my moms house. I am trying to graduate early.

My mom is a janitor.

I have seen the show Bones. I like to Binge watch series. I like Beethoven. I listen to music when upset. I like David Lang. Andrea Bocelli may be my new favorite artist.

I love True Detective. I started watching Bridgerton even though it is not a show I would normally watch.

I may want to go to grad school. I have student loans.

I passed calculus with help. I have seen the show Numbers.

I don't go to school. I am not currently on break from work or school.

I like classical music. I listen to music when upset. I like Andrea Bocelli. I appreciate music more over lyrics.  I have listened to David Lang.

I do not have skills to make jewelry.

I like movies, and crime series. I have not seen Bones. I binged watched Mindhunter. I like to binge watch series as well. I have watched Mindhunter. I am now watching True Detective.

I will be taking accounting classes at home soon. Attending traditional school is a challenge for me at this time.

[Speaker 1] If you need recommendations for some online classes in accounting I can definitely ask my advisor when I get back from break.

[Speaker 2] That would be excellent! I just really can't deal with learning in a regular classroom. It's hard to focus, especially with something so math-heavy.

[Speaker 1] I completely understand that! I've taken some accounting courses too so I may be able to help you out.  Any good shows out there that I can binge while I'm on break?

[Speaker 2] Have you seen Emily in Paris? It's only one season and really silly, but kind of fun.

[Speaker 1] I will check that one out! Sometimes silly is just what you need..especially when you're on a break. I will definitely check it out. I also have a few Andrea Bocelli songs that are new I need to send you.  You may have heard them already but they're new to me and I just love them!

[Speaker 2] I'm happy to listen to anything you find! Any other artists you have discovered lately?

[Speaker 1] Pavarotti is another artist that is very similar that I've gotten into lately - have you listened to him at all? His voice is just so calming to me!

[Speaker 2] Yes! I find his voice so strong, though. Bocelli relaxes me more. I really wish I could have seen Pavarotti in concert, though. I heard The Three Tenors was magical.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they were! I watch a lot of YouTube of their concerts but I know its just not that same as the real deal.

[Speaker 2] I'd like to go see some musicals someday, too. Have you seen Hamilton? I only saw the streaming version.

[Speaker 1] I only saw the streaming version too...about three times though! It was so hard to get those tickets and with my school schedule it just never worked out.  Maybe you and I can find either a musical or concert to go to together this summer.  I'd love to get out of my mom's house for a bit.

[Speaker 2] Good idea! It can be hard for me to arrange accommodations, but it would be so amazing to see a real show in person.

[Speaker 1] How are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] Hi! Do you have kids? I've one. A boy!

[Speaker 1] I am looking for online work I am a single parent

[Speaker 2] I work online because of having epilepsy.

[Speaker 1] What kind of online work is out there any ideas

[Speaker 2] Its hard to find good paying stuff. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] It is fine any ideas will help. Running is fun

[Speaker 2] I like to swim at the lake and read books when I can.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite cuisines?

[Speaker 2] Italian! Are your parents still married? Mine are not!

[Speaker 1] No I try not to let it get to me

[Speaker 2] Ya sometimes you have to let it go!

[Speaker 1] I really want to go visit new york this holiday

[Speaker 2] I've never been there but would love to go too

[Speaker 1] I know what other places would you like to visit?

[Speaker 2] Australia, italy, hawaii, thailand. What about you? I could go on and on.

I am a single parent looking for online work.

Running is my hobby.

My parents aren't married anymore.

I want to visit New York this holiday.

I have a boy.

I have epilepsy so I work online.

Swimming at the lake and reading books is my hobby.

Italian is my favorite cuisine. My parents aren't married anymore.

[Speaker 1] How is your son doing? Have you cooked any Italian cuisine since we last talked?

[Speaker 2] He's doing well. He really enjoyed our last trip to the lake! I'll be honest though, I've been lazy with my cooking. Lots of eating out lately.

[Speaker 1] I totally understand that! Glad to hear he's good!  Did you spend a lot of time at the lake?

[Speaker 2] We went for a three day weekend. That's normally what I have available for trips. Probably part of why I've never been to New York. Too much to see for just a short trip.

[Speaker 1] Oh, yeah it is.  That's why I am taking a week when I go later this year. I need the time.

[Speaker 2] Glad you finally get to visit! What do you plan to do there? I'll need your advice once the trip is over.

[Speaker 1] I plan to see all the typical sites- Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, stuff like that.  I want to soak it all in.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. I hear a lot of those are so much better in person than you can imagine. When I finally get to visit I really want to go to the museum of modern art.

[Speaker 1] That does sound like fun! I may have to add that to my list.  You know, I bet there's some great Italian restaurants in New York.

[Speaker 2] Visiting little Italy will definitely be part of the trip. They know how to do Italian right there.

[Speaker 1] I bet they do at that!  I know I usually like to eat healthy and such but I do want to check out their pizza.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes it's okay to ease up on the diet for a bit. Especially to eat something you can't elsewhere. If I ever get to Italy itself you can be sure I won't be counting calories.

Running is my hobby.

My parents aren't married anymore.

I eat healthy.

I have a son. We take trips to a lake.

I have epilepsy so I work online.

I've never been to New York but would love to go. I'd like to visit Australia, Italy, Hawaii and Thailand.

[Speaker 1] I'm really looking forward to my trip.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome.  What are your plans for your trip to NYC?  You better get some pizza and hot dogs- I hear that NYC pizza and hot dogs are the best.

[Speaker 1] I'm going to try to stay away from the hotdog stands because my boys will go nuts! I don't want them eating that sort of food! I know I need to lighten up. Haha, maybe just ONE hotdog. The pizza is fine though. We're going to see Lady Liberty, and also to see Hamilton!

[Speaker 2] Haha, I know you like your healthy foods, but it's a once in a lifetime experience being in NYC.  Wow that's awesome that you're going to see Hamilton - I've heard so many great things about that show.  I hope that I get to go to NYC one day.  I'd like to climb the Empire State Building.

[Speaker 1] Yes I can't wait! And we tried to book that but the tour was all booked up! If we ever go back you have to come with so you can do it! In the meantime, do you have any trips planned?

[Speaker 2] Oh man, that stinks, but I'm sure you'll have an awesome time anyway.  And it's a great time of year to go because it shouldn't be too hot or too cold.  Thanks for the invite - I'll definitely take you up on that offer next time.  Right now we don't have any trips planned, but I'm trying to think of somewhere to go with my son later this spring.  Any recommendations?

[Speaker 1] Why don't you finally make the trip to Italy so you can eat your favorite cuisine !!!!

[Speaker 2] Yea that would be awesome actually.  I'll have to look into flights.  I actually have some unused airline miles, so maybe I can find a good deal.  Gosh, I'm getting hungry just thinking about the authentic Italian cuisine I could enjoy every day there.  Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 1] What's your fav Italian food? And no I wish! I've never been outside of the country!

[Speaker 2] Hmmmm...it's so hard to choose.  Lasagna maybe.  Or anything with seafood.  Wow - you've gotta go to another country.  Expand your horizons.  Where would you go if you could go anywhere?

[Speaker 1] I know! It's so hard with the boys schedule they're always running to practice or to their clubs after school! I would love to go to Jamaica and just relax on the beach. Where out of the country have you been?

[Speaker 2] I've heard Jamaica is beautiful.  I have some family in Brazil, so I've been there a few times.

Running is my hobby.

My parents aren't married anymore.

I eat healthy. I'm going to try to stay away from the hotdog stands.

I am taking a week vacation to NYC later. I have boys, We're going to see Lady Liberty, and also to see Hamilton.

We tried to book that but the tour was all booked up.

I've never been outside of the country.

My sons visit their clubs after school.

I have a son. We take trips to a lake.

I have epilepsy so I work online.

Italian is my favorite cuisine. We don't cook much. I am carefree with my eating. Lasagna is my favorite food.

My parents aren't married anymore.

I've heard so many great things about  Hamilton show.  I hope that I get to go to NYC one day.  I'd like to climb the Empire State Building.

Right now we don't have any trips planned, but I'm trying to think of somewhere to go with my son later this spring. I have some unused airline miles.

I have some family in Brazil, so I've been there a few times.

[Speaker 1] Hm, listen I have found really cheap tickets to Australia.

[Speaker 2] Oooh, that sounds amazing. What's the weather like there right now? I can never keep the seasons straight for southern countries.

[Speaker 1] Looks like the average temperature now is the mid to upper 60's.  Not too bad

[Speaker 2] That's quite comfortable. Not too cold and not too hot, especially for outdoor swimming. Are you thinking of booking your first overseas trip after NYC?

[Speaker 1] I would love to but I have to see how my finances are doing after that!  I might need to save up some money first. I think I'll concentrate on NYC first and enjoy that while I can!

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. New York can be really expensive, especially with those Broadway tickets. The restaurants nearby aren't cheap, either. Of course, they do have amazing Italian food there!

[Speaker 1] I love Italian food.  Yes, I'm expecting this trip to be expensive.  The tickets were high.  I'm hoping to find deals either online before we go or even while were there.  Sometimes hotels offer discounts.

[Speaker 2] Oh, you know what? I heard of a great little B&B in Chelsea you could check out. Not as expensive as a regular hotel, and more homey.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds very nice!  If you can remember the name, let me know so I can check it out

[Speaker 2] Let me search it and get back to you. I seem to remember it was even shown in Sex and the City before!

[Speaker 1] Great!  I can search online too.  I'm sure if it was on Sex and the City, it will have that as a keyword to search by!

[Speaker 2] You're so right. It was a friend who recommended it to me last time I was considering a visit, so I can ask her, too. Anything else you'd like advice on for New York? My friend is a born and bred New Yorker, so I can ask for more tips.

[Speaker 2] Tired. Had 6 surgeries in the trauma department today!

[Speaker 1] Yikes that does sound exhausting. So your a doctor?

[Speaker 2] I specialize in trauma surgery, and my wife is a college teacher. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Work in a corner store and make some extra money working clubs at night.

[Speaker 2] I love corner stores, I take my little daughter to the one beside our house every morning.

[Speaker 1] Www how old is your daughter?

[Speaker 2] She will being turning 3 next month. Time flies, right?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I cannot even imagine having a kid right now.

[Speaker 2] I hope she follows in her grandmothers footsteps and plays the piano

[Speaker 1] I sometimes play guitar at the punkrock club I work in. I love music.

I have no kids.

I specialize is trauma surgery.

I love corner storer.

My daughter is turning 3.

I love music.

I live near Harvard campus. My wife is a professor.

[Speaker 1] I just found out I'm playing at the punk rock club tomorrow if you can make it.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What time? I'd love to make it if I can.

[Speaker 1] We take the stage around 7PM, and the headliner will be out by 8PM. Do you play any instruments?

[Speaker 2] I can make it at 7! I'm excited to see you play. I love music and play piano but I'm not very good at it. I'm teaching my daughter a little.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad you'll be there. That's cool you know piano and are teaching your daughter. I'm sure you're better than you think. My specialty is guitar.

[Speaker 2] Guitar is way cooler than piano lol. How long have you played?

[Speaker 1] Since I gained awareness and could hold a guitar. Music is my life. It's my dream to sell out stadiums one day; beats working at the corner store.

[Speaker 2] It's in your blood! I hope that comes true for you one day. Are your parents musicians?

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I appreciate that. And no - my dad is in finance and my mother is in HR. And you? What kind of job do you have?

[Speaker 2] That's so funny how different we can be from our parents. I wonder what my daughter will grow up to love. I'm a trauma surgeon.

[Speaker 1] Totally, no one mentions how the apple can roll down a hill after falling from a tree. As long as your daughter is healthy and happy it shouldn't matter. Being a trauma surgeon is very impressive! And surely intense.

[Speaker 2] I've never heard that apple analogy but I love it! So creative. I agree. I just want her to have a good life. It's definitely intense and I learned to have a strong stomach and thick skin. How's your job at the corner store going?

I watch Scooby Doo.

I work at a corner store.

I have no kids.

I do not have musician parents.

I love corner storer.

My daughter is turning 3. I hope my daughter plays piano like her grandmother.

I love music.

[Speaker 1] The concert is being pushed back one hour tomorrow, so we will begin our set at 8PM.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! I think i might be able to make your set in that case! How long is it?

[Speaker 1] It's an hour set. We are 2nd in the line up and sets always run on. So if your there by 8:30 we will just be kicking off.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, my last surgery ends at 6 tomorrow so I think i'll make it in time. I can't wait! Is it sold out?

[Speaker 1] It isn't sold out and won't be because it's a Tuesday night gig.

[Speaker 2] cool! In that case I'll see if my wife can join. Are you inviting that girl you've been seeing?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, she will pop in after her shift. What kind of surgery are you doing tomorrow?

[Speaker 2] i'm removing stitches on one of my patients. She accidentally kneeled on some glass. I'm actually having one of the residents learn so I'll just be watching. Have you ever had stitches?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have but it was on my arm. So it wasn't bad. What about you?

[Speaker 2] what happened? and nope! never once! Knock on wood!

[Speaker 1] An accident whilst drunk during my youth.

[Speaker 2] Oh sounds brutal. Hopefully no scar!

I watch Scooby Doo.

I have no kids.

I work at a corner store. To make extra money I work at clubs at night. I play guitar at the punk rock club I working. I love music. I will be performing at a punk rock concert tomorrow at 7PM.

I love corner storer.

I love music. I play the piano. I am not good at playing the piano.

I don't have a schedule conflict with the music concert tomorrow. I have a surgery that ends at 6 tomorrow.

[Speaker 1] That's funny that you've never had stitches but you are a doctor who does them all the time for your patients. How is your piano playing progressing?

[Speaker 2] It's going great. I'm doing my best to learn my piece. Are you practicing guitar lately?

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear! Yep, I practice every day to keep my muscles conditioned!

[Speaker 2] Are you ready for your concert?

[Speaker 1] Definitely! It's a big thing in my life that I look forward to everyday! Are you practicing everyday?

[Speaker 2] I try to, between my work. Sometimes I come home at really wonky hours. Do you get tired with your late hours at the club?

[Speaker 1] Nah, not really. I sleep during the day and take naps when I need to. The experience is exhilarating and always wakes me right up!

[Speaker 2] Are you nervous to perform or is it an adrenaline rush?

[Speaker 1] I don't get nervous at all, it is definitely adrenaline that I get and I love that. I feel very passionate when I play on stage

[Speaker 2] I kinda feel that same way when I'm on the operating table. It's a big rush, and a lot of responsibility, but I feel amazing doing it.

[Speaker 1] Oh I bet, you must feel so confident in yourself to be able to perform those types of surgeries. I'm sure you're tired after!

[Speaker 2] I try my best thanks.

I like to cook spaghetti.
I need others in my life.
I enjoy long road trips.
I gave up smoking.

[Speaker 1] It is a great day fro a nice cold beer!

[Speaker 2] It is a little early for beer!

[Speaker 1] I'm getting ready for a boys day. Basketball and coors light. Starting at 1201

[Speaker 2] I once had vices too. Quit smoking.

[Speaker 1] Ah I was a smoker once too.

[Speaker 2] Ah those were the days. Now I drive many hours.

[Speaker 1] I work in car sales. Maybe you bought your car from me?

[Speaker 2] I sincerely doubt it paul. I don't like new cars.

[Speaker 1] How did you know my name was paul?

[Speaker 2] I know many things paul.

[Speaker 1] What does my wife do for a living?

[Speaker 2] You really do not want me to answer that, paul.

[Speaker 1] You already know everything about me then.

[Speaker 2] Not your favorite food though. Mine is italian.

[Speaker 1] Italian is a good one. I love tacos

[Speaker 2] Now I finally respect you paul. Tacos are king.

I play basketball. I am male.
I was a smoker.
I work as a car seller.
I love tacos food.

I used to smoke but quit.

I don't buy new cars

I know a lot of things.

I love Italian food but don't know yours.

[Speaker 1] I could not follow your advice earlier and I had three bottles of beer by now

[Speaker 2] It can be hard to resist for sure. I struggled a lot when I was quitting smoking. Just remember that progress is not a straight line.

[Speaker 1] I know. I mean, its been so difficult that I try to just drink beer to kill that smoking addiction within me. How did you quit? Do you not smoke at all now?

[Speaker 2] Not anymore. It took me just over a year to quit completely. I started weaning myself down from two packs a day slowly. It's hard to not replace one addiction with another though. Maybe try cutting one cigarette this week?

[Speaker 1] Ya, I will try doing that now. Also, I try playing basketball to actually not think about my addiction. Were you doing anything similar?

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. I didn't play basketball but I did do a lot more of my hobby, which is baking. Do you like baking?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I love baking all sorts of things. I usually do that too! Also, sometimes because of work I do tend to not think about smoking at all. I mean, I am in the car selling business, so time passes by so quickly that I don't really have any time to think. Its just when I am totally free that's when it clicks in.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's really the downtime that is the hardest. That's why I use it to bake lol. My favorite thing to make is apple pie. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I love baking cupcakes for my kids! Also, I love tacos food. So, sometimes I try making and baking those sort of stuff too. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Mmmm cupcakes! Tacos are good too. How old are your kids?

[Speaker 1] I have a girl who is 5 years old, and a boy who is 8 years old. Do you still like Italian food?

[Speaker 2] Aww they sound very cute. I LOVE Italian food, especially lasagna. Are tacos your favorite?

I am male.

I work as a car seller.

I have a drinking problem.

I like playing basketball.

I have a 5 year old girl and a 8 year old boy. I love baking cupcakes. I love tacos food.

I used to smoke but quit.

I don't buy new cars

I know a lot of things.

I like baking.

[Speaker 1] My son's birthday is next week I'm going to bake him 30 cupcakes.

[Speaker 2] Wow that's a lot, but it shouldn't be a problem for you. what other food are you serving?

[Speaker 1] Yea, you know how I love baking.  We're going to have baked ziti and salad for the meal and then cupcakes for dessert.  I can't believe Joey is turning 9.  It feels like just yesterday he was a baby!  Are you available to come to his party?

[Speaker 2] I could pop in for a moment.I will bring some apple pies. Yes, Joey is not a baby anymore! How is your quitting smoking going?

[Speaker 1] Thanks!  Oh man, I don't know.  It's so hard.  I've quit a few times, but then I get stressed out and just need a cig.  How did you finally quit?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's hard. I quit after the doctor showed me what it was doing to my lungs and I read up on it. It scared me so much that i quit almost immediately. I didn't want to go back to hospital

[Speaker 1] Good call.  Yea I have to just suck it up and do it.  I don't want to miss out on my kids' lives because of this stupid addiction.

[Speaker 2] Stay strong! You can do it! Hey, by the way, do you have any nice cars to choose from? My car keeps breaking and I am ready to get something newer

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the encouragement! Definitely! If you come by my job this weekend I can show you some great deals.  What is your price range?

[Speaker 2] Great! I am not really sure about the price range. I just don't need a brand new car; they are too much ,but  something gently used would be great

[Speaker 1] Yea that's smart.  So many people want brand new cars, but they lose their value so fast.  We have great reliable cars like Hondas and Toyotas right now that are in great condition but also affordable.  Are you available this Saturday?

[Speaker 2] Yes! And I would love a Honda; they are my favorite cars

I am male.

I work as a car seller. I am working on Saturday.

I have a drinking problem.

I was a smoker. I am trying to quit smoking. I smoke cigarettes.

I like playing basketball.

I have a son. I love baking. I am throwing my son a birthday party.

I used to smoke but quit.

I don't buy new cars. I have an old car. Hondas are my favorite cars.

I like baking. My favorite thing to make is apple pie. I love Italian food. I like lasagna.

I am not rich.

[Speaker 1] Someone just traded in a Honda that only has 5,000 miles on it. Would you be interested in taking a look at it? I can cut you a deal.

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't mind looking at it at all!  What is the year on it?

[Speaker 1] Not sure, I think it's a 2016 but I'll double check. It's in amazing condition!

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome.  I just don't like new cars.  I like them to have a little mileage on them.

[Speaker 1] For sure, I thought this was a good middle ground. Enough mileage to be old, not so much it's falling apart@

[Speaker 2] I agree.  While you are working on that, tell me something.  What have you been fixing up lately in the kitchen?

[Speaker 1] Trying to really perfect my tacos! Summer's coming and I want to do a huge mexican cookout. Have you been baking much?

[Speaker 2] Yes.  I actually made a 4 layered Red Velvet Cake yesterday.  It was amazing.  Are you gonna make some cupcakes for the cookout?

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness. I was going to but now I've heard about this 4 layered cake I might have to commission you!

[Speaker 2] That is funny.  I wouldn't mind making it again.  I used Cream Cheese in the frosting and I have to say it was amazing.

[Speaker 1] Cream cheese frosting is my favorite. I hate icing so frosting always wins out for me! How long did it take you?

[Speaker 2] I worked on it for a few hours.  But that was mostly because the cake layers had to cool down.  I didn't want them to cool down to fast as they might lose moisture.  I also shaved pecans into the frosting.

[Speaker 1] She just doesn't like me anymore

[Speaker 2] Oh no! My daughter just was broken up with too.

[Speaker 2] Well like me, she's short and he decided he wanted to date a tall model.

[Speaker 1] Well so much for a guy like him

[Speaker 2] Both you and her deserve better. What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I teach little kids at a school

[Speaker 2] That is a good job! I just sell paper products.

[Speaker 1] What kind of paper products

[Speaker 2] Mostly napkins. Luckily I can bring some home to use while cooking.

[Speaker 1] What else do you have planned today?

[Speaker 2] Just studying. Got keep up my gpa. Straight as baby!

[Speaker 1] What instrument do you play?

[Speaker 2] Flute. I love band. I get to socialize with a lot of people!

[Speaker 1] That is great I sing at church that is my instrument

[Speaker 2] The voice is a great instrument. I cannot wait till I am done with hs.

[Speaker 1] Where do you plan on going to college

[Speaker 2] Not sure yet. Somewhere with a good farmers market. I love fresh produce!

[Speaker 1] Have you ever tried to grow your own?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I am a bit of a health nut but not green thumb!

[Speaker 1] Lol I like to grow carnivorous plants

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds very risky

[Speaker 1] My favorite is the venus flytrap

[Speaker 2] Those things are incredibly awesome!

[Speaker 1] I think the pitcher plant is even more amazing

[Speaker 2] I don't know any thing about that one!

I sing at my church.
I like to grow carnivorous plants.
My favorite plant is the venus flytrap.

I am going to band practice.
I am student.
I play the flute.
I love fresh produce!
I am a bit of a health nut.

[Speaker 1] How is school going? Did all your studying pay off?

[Speaker 2] School is going well, but it's a lot of hard work. My mid-term exams are coming up, and I've been studying non-stop between classes, my part-time job, and sleep. I'm confident that I'm going to ace most of my exams, but I'm worried about my biology exam.

[Speaker 1] Do you like biology? I love botany, I find that you do best when you enjoy what you're studying.

[Speaker 2] No, I really don't like biology. I prefer the sciences that deal with a lot of math, like physics and chemistry. I'm mathematically inclined, and I think that helps me play the flute well.

[Speaker 1] I see. Yes I've heard that music and mathematics have a lot in common - scales and all that. I've never been good at math, or playing an instrument for that matter, but I love listening to it. I think my plants love music too, I feel that they grow better when I have the radio on for them in the mornings, but that might just be my imagination!

[Speaker 2] Ha! That's hilarious that your plants seem to love music. What types of music do you like?

[Speaker 1] Well, I mostly listen to church music, but I like instrumental too, including the flute..  have you heard of Terry Oldfield

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't heard of Terry Oldfield. What type of music does Oldfield make?

[Speaker 1] Sort of relaxation music, but he plays the flute himself, I love listening to him play. And so do my veggies! Actually, since you're into fresh produce, you should try growing your own sometime.. and come to think of it, it might get you interested in botany too!

[Speaker 2] I'm going to check him out on YouTube sometime, most likely while I'm studying, since you mentioned it's relaxing. I should grow my own vegetables.

[Speaker 1] I recommend starting with something easy, like tomatoes - they grow really quickly, and don't need a lot of care at all, so they won't take up too much of your study time. What do you plan on doing after your exams are over?

[Speaker 2] I'll keep that in mind. After my exams are over and I have gotten my grades back, I'm going to celebrate my friends and just chill. Of course, I'll be working at my job, too.

I sing at my church.

I like to grow carnivorous plants.  I think my plants grow better with music. My favorite plant is the venus flytrap. I love botany.

I'm not good at math or playing instruments.  I love listening to music. I mostly listen to church music, but also like instrumental music. I love listening to Terry Oldfield play the flute.

I am going to band practice. I play the flute.

I love fresh produce!

I am a bit of a health nut.

I'm in school.  I have a part-time job.  I'm confident I'll do well on my exams.  I'm worried about my biology exam. I don't like biology.  I prefer physics and chemistry.  I'm mathematically inclined.

I haven't heard of Terry Oldfield.

Once I get my grades back, I'm going to celebrate with my friends and child.  I'll also be working at my job.

[Speaker 1] Did you ever look up Terry Oldfield?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I did not realize he was English! How are your plants coming along?

[Speaker 1] The plants are coming along but I need to tweak my hydroponic calculations. Think you could help me with it?

[Speaker 2] For sure I can try! Once my exams are finished, that'll be our project. How many do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have 6 plants in the basement with halogen lights, they are coming along good but need to check the thermal mass. I think they like listening to the music as much as me!

[Speaker 2] That's incredible! Do you have a record player down there or do you just use a bluetooth speaker?

[Speaker 1] I use the blue tooth with my phone, but have an old boom box from the 90s with some CDs I put on when I leave the room. They like ace of bass I think for some reason.

[Speaker 2] Just hearing that gave me such a huge nostalgia trip. I'll have to play that at home after I study. When is the next time you sing at church?

[Speaker 1] I am singing next Sunday actually, I have been practicing a lot. Will you come and watch?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, I have a bit of free time since I only work part-time at the moment. We could probably take care of your plants right after the service.

[Speaker 1] Yes that sounds like a plan! when is your exam, next week?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's on Friday. I'm looking forward to getting it over with and really entering the weekend on a high.

I sing at my church.

I'm not good at math or playing instruments. I mostly listen to church music, but also like instrumental music. I love listening to Terry Oldfield play the flute.

I have 6 plants and they are doing well. i play music for them. My plants like ace of bass.

I haven't heard of Terry Oldfield. I just looked up Terry Oldfield.

I am good with hydroponic calculations.

I remember ace of bass.

[Speaker 1] One of my plants is really taking a turn for the worse!  Do you have any advice?

[Speaker 2] Hmm, a lot of times its over or under watering. How much are you watering it?

[Speaker 1] I've been watering the plants at least once every couple of days, unless the weather is really hot, then it's every day

[Speaker 2] Maybe they are getting to much sun? some need more shaded enviornments

[Speaker 1] possibly, but it's been so cloudy lately, does that matter if you can't see the sun?

[Speaker 2] No not really, the UV rays are actually stronger through clouds

[Speaker 1] really?!  no wonder why my plants never make it through a whole season.

[Speaker 2] Yeah its rough some times

[Speaker 1] do I have to move the plants indoors or just put them in a shady place?

[Speaker 2] I can come over to see what you have, that might make all the difference!

[Speaker 1] great because i don't remember what kind of plants I got.  so I can't google the answers lol

[Speaker 2] Maybe you need to switch up what music you are playing heh. Ive heard, which is crazy, heavy metal helps plants grow even over classical!


I just discovered a famous singer I knew nothing about.

[Speaker 1] Hi names bonny and I am very short for my age

[Speaker 2] Hi names andrew, I am happily married to my husband pablo

[Speaker 1] I've difficult time losing weight around my waist and it is so annoying

[Speaker 2] Pablo is a cop but he also does personal training on the side

[Speaker 1] Cool. I don't cook therefore eat out I have to stop eating out.

[Speaker 2] I can teach you and have many cook books that you can borrow, my library is extensive

[Speaker 1] I'm quite nearsighted and have to wear contact lenses to see

[Speaker 2] Me as well and when visiting my favorite beach sand always bothers my lens

[Speaker 1] Wow yeah, I never take them out

[Speaker 2] Crazy! We are so alike, you should join my book club.

[Speaker 1] Yeah for sure we ought to hang out some time

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, you just name the time and place and we can do it

[Speaker 1] Sure thing keep in touch why not!

[Speaker 2] Exactly, I am a distinguished professor and enjoy molding minds for knowledge

[Speaker 1] I'm starting to get hungry again... I hate those cravings

[Speaker 2] Just drink some water or tea with some agave it is delicious

I am Bonny. I am short for my age.

I'm trying to lose weight.

I don't cook. I eat out a lot.

I am nearsighted. I wear contacts. I never take out my contacts.

I get cravings and I hate them.

I am Andrew. My husband is Pablo. I am gay.

I am a professor. I enjoy teaching. My husband is a cop and a personal trainer.

I can cook. I own many cook books.

I am nearsighted, wear contacts. I never take out my contacts. I have a book club.

I like to drink tea with agave.

[Speaker 1] I finally took my contacts out last night, I feel reborn!

[Speaker 2] Oh, noooo! LOL I am too scared still! How does it feel?

[Speaker 1] It feels so much better!  My eye doctor fusses at me about leaving them in too long.  I should take them out more.  What do you teach, Andrew?

[Speaker 2] Well, good for you and I am inspired to do the same thing! I am a history professor but my true passion is cooking regardless. I found a recipe that is a beginner if you ever wanted to try cooking?

[Speaker 1] I like history now.  I hated it in high school.  Do you have any recipes that are simple and healthy that might help me lose weight?

[Speaker 2] I have a lot of students who same the same thing about undergraduate history too. Yes, I would love to share with you a super simple crock pot meal. It is a chicken soup recipe from one of my really old books. Do you like soup?

[Speaker 1] I like soup fine but prefer stew which should be an easy substitute, right?  But I forgot to mention--I HATE touching raw meat so the chicken needs to be pre-cooked.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be easy to thicken it up to a stew consistency. You can always buy the frozen pre cooked chicken so that you can just plop it into the crock pot.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good.  Can you email me the recipe?  And do you have any that are vegetarian?

[Speaker 2] Bonny, are you a vegetarian? I can find a better recipe if you would like to avoid meat. I have a really good squash soup that I make during the holidays. I would be happy to find one that you can really look forward to making. If it isn't fun to make, I just don't do it!

[Speaker 1] Not a vegetarian but don't eat beef and don't like seafood.  I do like squash so that would work.  And I like your philosophy about it being fun!

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I just know myself and if I am not having fun I will quit right in the middle of whatever it is I am doing. Have you been having any luck with weight lose, I could use some tips!

I am Bonny. I am short for my age.

I'm trying to lose weight.

I don't cook. I eat out a lot. I'm not a vegetarian. I don't eat beef. I get cravings and I hate them. I like stew. I don't like working with raw meat.

I am a history professor. I enjoy teaching. My husband is a cop and a personal trainer.

I can cook. I own many cook books.

I like to drink tea with agave.

I want to lose weight.

[Speaker 1] I tried that pumpkin soup recipe you gave me. Its delicious!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you enjoyed it. I told you cooking at home is better than eating out all the time! So much cheaper as well. Will you consider cooking a bit more now?

[Speaker 1] Definitely! Thanks for the tip. Any other recipes you can share? :)

[Speaker 2] I have a great recipe that involves the seeds from a pumpkin, so you don't have to waste any of it next time, I will send it to you later tonight. Pablo has it saved on his phone and he's at work right now.

[Speaker 1] Oh you don't remember it? I have a great recipe for you to try. Combine American cheese with nongshim ramen. It is very good.

[Speaker 2] Okay thanks, I might give that a go. I'm trying to cut out any cheese right now for my weight loss, but I suppose one cheat day isn't the end of the world. How have you been this week, any more cravings?

[Speaker 1] Cheese is fine! In fact, instead of trying to cut down on fat. I would suggest you to lower your carb intake. You can eat as much vegetables, meat, cheese as you wish. Just lower your sugar/carb intake. My cravings are not getting any better, I can't seem to get rid of my addiction to sugar. I always crave for something sweet after a meal and I can't change it. :(

[Speaker 2] Okay thanks for the advice, I'll try it out and let you know if I see any progress! Have you tried jelly for your sugar cravings Pablo always tells me how great they are for weight loss as they are so low in calories!

[Speaker 1] Oh really? Jelly is usually very sweet though. I thought if you want to lose weight you need to cut down on sugar too. How's your husband doing at work? Still busy?

[Speaker 2] A calorie deficit, that's the key to weight loss, well at least that's what Pablo is always telling me! Pablo is great thanks for asking, still very busy. He's actually just picked up another client to train, so even more work for him!

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the tip!! I will need to learn from the best. I hope your weight loss will go good as well!

[Speaker 2] Thanks a lot, I'll let you know how the cheese tip goes!!

I am Bonny. I am short for my age.

I'm trying to lose weight.

I can cook. I own many cook books.

I like to drink tea with agave.

I have a recipe for pumpkin seeds.

I'm cutting out cheese for weight loss right now.

Husband is busy at work.

[Speaker 1] I just found a great tip that is finally helping me with my cravings!

[Speaker 2] Really? What kind of tip is it?

[Speaker 1] I suck on mints or chew gum. Totally keeps me from eating!

[Speaker 2] But don't you need to eat at least something? I'd think that would make you feel weak.

[Speaker 1] I only eat dinner. Just mints and gum all day long. Try it!

[Speaker 2] Hmm, I don't know about that. I love my breakfast and love to cook. What would I do with all of my cookbooks if I only ate one meal a day?

[Speaker 1] Donate them! They are probably hurting your diet attempts by temping you!

[Speaker 2] You know, you might be right. I've been cutting out cheese to lose some weight and it's not really working. So, no more cravings huh?

[Speaker 1] None! It is really amazing. Totally life changing. You can have cheese during dinner.

[Speaker 2] Well that sounds like a winner. Can you have drinks like tea during the day?

[Speaker 1] I try to only have water, but sometimes I sneak a tea or coffee if I am tired.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. I love drinking tea with agave.

[Speaker 1] It was great, really refreshing after spending the week working inside. We went to the forest around 5 miles away from where I live. It was a great day for it. Where do you usually walk Bart?

[Speaker 2] I like to take him to a variety of places. There are some great trails and parks around here. But I will wait for it to warm up a little today. What is the weather like in NM today?

[Speaker 1] Criminal psychology sounds really interesting, something if I could go back in time maybe I would have done. Three years will fly by I'm sure. Do you live with one of your parents or do you have your own place?

[Speaker 2] I have my own place, . My mother lives in NJ and my father lives in CO so they are both far away. But I try to vist both them once in a while. How do you usually spend your days, now that you don't have to work anymore?

[Speaker 1] That's good that you get your own freedom, and more independance. I spend a lot of time walking the dog, and I do a lot of charity work. I'm almost busier than I was when I was working which is something I'm happy with for now!

[Speaker 2] That is awesome. At least now you can spend your time doing things that you enjoy and feel good about. What type of charity work do you do?

[Speaker 1] Exactly, it feels very worthwhile. I'm really enjoying this stage of my life. I work with food banks at the moment, making package deliveries across New Mexico. Are you involved in any charity work, or are you too busy at the moment with college?

[Speaker 1] They look like little bones and have different ingredients inside. Some are with yoghurt and berries, the dog loves them.

[Speaker 2] Wow those sound excellent I will have to check them out. Have you and your dog gone exploring in the forest lately?

[Speaker 1] We went yesterday actually. There is nothing better for him than the open spaces where he can run freely. He has so much energy, it's good exercise for me as well running after him. Do you take Bart into forests as well?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I take Bart camping when I go visit my dad in Colorado. He loves it! It's great for me to get outdoors too! What else do you like to do outdoors?

[Speaker 1] I like to just walk through the nature, spending time outdoors does wonders to me. It is so peaceful. When I was younger I used to go camping with my kids at least once a year, it was amazing.

[Speaker 2] Camping is pretty great! It's great to go bathe in nature it really helps my mood! What have you been up to since retirement?

[Speaker 1] I am just enjoying life really. Trying to do things I didn't have time to do before. I am learning Spanish for example. And do some charity work twice a week.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! What sort of charities have you been working for lately?

[Speaker 1] There is one cancer research charity I work for, they have a small shop close to where I live so I volunteer in the shop. People can donate they clothes, books etc and we sell it then. It's fulfilling job when you know it is for a very good cause.

[Speaker 2] Yes, work is a lot more enjoyable when you know you are helping someone out! You sound like you're having a good retirement

I have a dog that is a lab. I like to take my dogs on hikes in the forest.

I use to fly.

I retired to southern new mexico. I don't work for a living. I do charity work. I volunteer at a local cancer research charity.

My parents died when I was young.

I love the outdoors.

I have children. I used to go camping with my kids when I was younger.

I am learning to speak Spanish.

My parents are divorced.

I volunteer at pet adoption events.

I have a dog.

My dog's name is Bart. My dad lives in Colorado. I like to go camping with my dog.

I enjoy being out in nature.

I appreciate charity work.

[Speaker 1] Are there any local parks near where you live to camp?

[Speaker 2] There are a lot of places where you can be one with nature. If you are interested you can join me and Bart one day. It is real fun and am sure you will love it.

[Speaker 1] I would love that! If you think Bart can get along with 3 strange dogs?

[Speaker 2] My Bart is friendly and gets along with other dogs. You should bring your kids too. We can all together have a great time with the calm atmosphere.

[Speaker 1] The kids are all grown now. have kids and dogs of their own!  I don't think you've ever told me where you currently live?

[Speaker 2] I live in the suburbs of Colorado. You would love my location especially my camping spots. There is a small stream nearby too where I go fishing. Do you like to fish?

[Speaker 1] Close to your dad then. Yes, I love to fish as well. So do my dogs. THey get all excited when I reel in a catch.

[Speaker 2] Then lets do it. Lets get together one day over the weekend and spend some time out in the wild. We can catch fish, cook, eat and drink beer. You must be tired of working indoors all day.

[Speaker 1] Well, my volunteer hours are fairly sort. just something to keep me busy and help a good cause.  But I do love to get outdoors as much as possible. You'll have to give me directions and I'll plan a route.

[Speaker 2] Your charity work is for a good cause. No doubt about that. I am glad that you would like to join me. Take my word you will not regret it. We can have a great time. I will send you the directions pretty soon.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! There was a time I could have made the drive non-stop. Now I think it'll take me 2 days to get to colorado from New Mexico, but it'll be worth it! I like driving too!

[Speaker 2] Driving through the country would be fun. When you land up in my place you sure will agree that it was worth that drive. You need a break anyways.


I like to cut hair.

My place of residence is floating on a river.

[Speaker 2] Hello how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] Good. Just settled in for the night with my hubby.

[Speaker 2] I am about to read my favorite book the twilight.

[Speaker 1] Ah, you will not like this but I have never read it or watched the movies

[Speaker 2] I am curious as to how a grasshopper taste.

[Speaker 1] Probably crunchy. I'm a vegan so eating animals isn't my thing.

[Speaker 2] I love to surf when the tide is calm.

[Speaker 1] Our boat is docked on the pacific right now.

[Speaker 2] I'm a big lover of jason mraz.

[Speaker 1] I like him too. I have his cd and we listen to it often in my salon.

[Speaker 2] He's such an awesome artist.

[Speaker 1] Very talented. I dyed my hair purple yesterday.

[Speaker 2] I bet you look really cool. Is purple your favorite color?

[Speaker 1] No, actually it is not but green hair would not look as good!

[Speaker 2] Have a great evening, I'm done.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How was your day?

[Speaker 2] It has been a long day! I'm trying to relax now. You?

[Speaker 1] Same! I made dinner using a recipe from my mom

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice. I ordered takeout tonight for me and my sons.

[Speaker 1] How many kids do you have? I have a restaurant that does take out

[Speaker 2] I have two sons, raising them by myself. It can get hard sometimes

[Speaker 1] I bet. I lost my mom when I was 18 so I kind of understand

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear that. What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I like to cook traditional russian meals. You?

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome. Do you have examples? I sell makeup in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] They are recipes from my mom so they are secret. That's fun!

[Speaker 2] I wish I had secret family recipes. My grandma took them to her grave.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. When did she pass?

[Speaker 2] Years and years ago, I was only a child.

[Speaker 1] I see. After my mom past I started a restaurant about three years later

[Speaker 2] Does it make you feel close to her still?

I have a restaurant that does take out.

My mom died when I was 18.

I like to cook traditional russian meals.

I have two sons.
I sell makeup.
My grandmother is dead.
I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from my restaurant. It's been so hectic on work but I love my job. You should do take out from my restaurant one day.

[Speaker 2] Sure! What kind of food do y'all sell? I love having my boys try new things.

[Speaker 1] We do a Russian style takeout, I try and cook lots of meals from from my childhood.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that sounds amazing! What is your favorite dish to make? I my boys would like to try that. Traditional meals always make me think of my grantmother.

[Speaker 1] One of the most popular is 'Pelmeni', it's like a dumpling and delicious! I'll have to give you the recipe sometime so you can try it for the boys.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! After we try your's I'll have to make it and see how it compares. Work has been slowing down lately, so I should have time to try it out.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry works been slow, I hope it picks up soon. Have you always sold makeup?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I used to stay at home with my two sons, but needed to make ends meet. It was easier to do when my grandmother was alive, but since she passed away it became a little harder.

[Speaker 1] That's really tough, I'm sorry about your grandmother. It does get easier as time goes on, it's true that time is a healer.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for that; you're right, it's just tough because I am an only child. Do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 1] I have one brother, he's 3 years younger than me, we have a close bond.

[Speaker 2] That so cool! What was it like growing up with a brother that was younger than you? Is your family from Russia?

My mom died when I was 18.

I work at a busy Russian restaurant that I own. We offer takeout.

I am Russian. I am a chef.

My favorite dish is Pelmeni, which is a dumpling.

I have a brother who is 3 years younger than me.

I have two sons.

My grandmother is dead.

I am an only child.

I sell makeup for a living, but it is slow lately.

[Speaker 1] We added a new dessert to our menu at work. It's a traditional Russian recipe that I've enjoyed since childhood.

[Speaker 2] What is it? Cake? Pudding? Something else?

[Speaker 1] It's a type of dessert that they call waffle cakes. They are colorful, delicious, and a ton of fun to eat!

[Speaker 2] Sounds delicious! A lot more interesting than the cosmetics business, which is in a lull for me right now.

[Speaker 1] For sure. If I did not spend so much time working, I would probably be very fat. Luckily, I get to make the customers fat instead.

[Speaker 2] Lol! Do they have many healthy, vegetarian meals in Russian cuisine? I always imagined it was hearty fare, not short on calories.

[Speaker 1] We have things like turnip soup and carrot salad, but people very rarely want such things in this country. People mainly ate such things in the old country when they were too poor to afford anything better.

[Speaker 2] Those sound pretty good to me. Russians eat a lot of beets too, right? If people are like me, though, they want to go all out when eating in a restaurant. Beef Stroganoff rather than vegetable soup.

[Speaker 1] Yes, most people want the hearty foods. I only ever see tiny women looking for the vegetarian options. It makes me feel so bad to see the starving themselves, but this is what they value in this country. Have you ever tried a proper Russian meal?

[Speaker 2] I don't know if I've had a "proper" one. I've had Beef Stroganoff, Blini, and Borscht before, but they probably weren't super authentic.

[Speaker 1] You must visit a true Russian restaurant. It'd be such a shame never to know the real thing. It will be impossible to go back once you've tried it.

[Speaker 2] I'll do it someday. Not sure if my boys would want to go though, as they are picky eaters.

My mom died when I was 18.

I am Russian. I am a chef.

I enjoyed russian recipes. Favorite dessert is cake waffles.

I have two sons.

My grandmother is dead.

I am an only child.

I am in the cosmetics business.

I assume russian food is high in calories.

I would order Beef Stroganoff in a restaurant. I've tried some russian food, but not a lot. I have boys who are picky eaters.

[Speaker 1] More exciting news!  Our restaurant just added a kids menu!  That might make it easier for you to find something your boys would be willing to try.

[Speaker 2] That's great.  What type of foods are on it?

[Speaker 1] They have some traditional Russian dishes- like dumplings and other things just in smaller portions, but they also decrease the seasonings and things to make it more attractive to younger children. The goal is to slowly introduce traditional foods for those who are not accustomed to it. We also have chicken fingers, fries, etc. to appeal to kids who have no interest in Russian food (but their parents want to eat there!).

[Speaker 2] That is really considerate.  Are adults able to order off it?  I may be interested in trying more Russian food with less seasonings and smaller portions that way I am not wasting food.

[Speaker 1] Yes! It has been very popular with people who are not used to traditional Russian food. It's a great introduction! How is the makeup business going?

[Speaker 2] Still moving slow but we got a new product in that seems to be a hot seller. Its lip gloss that plumps the lips.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'd be interested in that! Does it come in a lot of different shades?

[Speaker 2] Quite a few.  Soft pink, red, a light purple, and neutrals.

[Speaker 1] That sounds wonderful. I will have to try some. I hope it helps to bring more business to your company. I know how hard it is when business is slow. We go through ups and downs in the restaurant industry of course.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely.  It changes with the seasons I believe.  Summer and Winter seem to be our busiest of times.  I am looking forward to this Summer.

[Speaker 1] Yes me too! Do you have any plans for the summer? Any trips coming up?

[Speaker 2] Yes, planning on taking the boys fishing at a lake.  Going to rent a cabin and just relax.  How about you>

[Speaker 1] Hi! Whats the weather like there? It was a sunny day here.

[Speaker 2] Beautiful. Beginning to look like autumn. Lover the paint nature when the leaves turn.

[Speaker 1] So you are a painter! I can tell right away, I like you already!

[Speaker 2] Just don't ask me to clean. But I love watercolors and painting any type of nature.

[Speaker 1] I could hang out with you, n I don't feel that way about everyone

[Speaker 2] Must be my italian heritage. We are welcoming people. Just don't cross us.....

[Speaker 1] I am italian too. 100. And I like winning. Do you ever play the numbers?

[Speaker 2] Does wall street count? My job is in finance. So, I look at the ticker everyday.

[Speaker 1] I am just a poor italian, though well educated. Love to cook. Mania

[Speaker 2] Hah!!!! You'd be welcome in my family. It is huge.

[Speaker 1] How many brothers and sisters? I have 5 brothers, 2 sisters

[Speaker 2] I'm the oldest. Then three sisters and my little brother.

[Speaker 1] Blessings to you and your family. There'sn'thing nicer. Stay close!

[Speaker 2] I will do my friend. Take care and god speed.

[Speaker 1] I knew I'd like you. Could tell right off the bat!

[Speaker 2] I think we could be good buddies. You take care and good luck with your numbers.

I am italian.

I am a well educated but poor italian. I love to cook.

I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters.

I like to paint.  I love watercolors and painting nature.

I dont like to clean.

I have italian heritage.

I work in finance.

I have a big family.

[Speaker 1] I just finish cooking my favorite italian meal for my family. What's your favorite italian dish?

[Speaker 2] I love pizza - I know it's an easy one and probably a bit of a cheat dish. But I can't get enough! Do you do anything for work?

[Speaker 1] Lol yeah but pizza is so delicious! I work as a chef in an Italian restaurant.

[Speaker 2] Aw that's convenient for your love of italian food! Do you enjoy your job?

[Speaker 1] Yes it is! The job is always super fun. It keeps me busy all the time. But it's rewarding to see how much people really enjoy the food.

[Speaker 2] That's important. Do any of your siblings work in hospitality too, or are you the only one in your family?

[Speaker 1] No the rest of them have nothing to do with hospitality. They have boring office jobs. I never understand why someone would want that.

[Speaker 2] I have a boring office job and I hate it! I'd much rather be on my feet or doing something creative. But I suppose it pays the bills and it's sort of secure.

[Speaker 1] I could imagine. Getting stuck in a rut is so easy. Sometime it seems like it would be nice to be able to sit down and breath for a bit. But I figure that would just introduce new challenges that I don't want.

[Speaker 2] I think staying busy at work is so so important. That way your mind is always active and the day goes by much faster.

[Speaker 1] That's definitley true. I also often get to talk to new and interesting people at the restaurant. So that makes it more fun as well.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a dream. Definitely makes me think it might be time to move on with my job!

I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters.

My family likes Italian food. I love pizza. I work as a chief at an Italian restaurant. My job is busy and rewarding.

I have siblings with office jobs.

I dont like to clean.

I have italian heritage.

I work in finance.

I have a big family. I'm the oldest child. I have three sisters and one brother.

I love pizza.

[Speaker 1] We are getting a new pizza oven at work.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Is it a replacement for an old one?

[Speaker 1] Yes the older one was working kinda on and off so we got a brand new oven. It looks much better than the older one too. You should come by sometime and check it out

[Speaker 2] That's great! Is it a brick oven or just regular? I'd love to come by!

[Speaker 1] It's not a fancy brick oven. We can't afford luxurious ovens you know so we got just a regular one. I will bake a meat pizza that you like!

[Speaker 2] That's good, I actually prefer pizza from a regular over to be honest! I would love a meat pizza....extra sausage and pepperoni for me please! What is your favorite type of pizza to make?

[Speaker 1] I like to make Magherita pizza because I like it the best. I know Magherita pizzas are a bit bland but I still like it. How's life? How's your family doing?

[Speaker 2] Magherita is my second favorite! It's classic. My family is great, thanks. My three little sisters are at various stages in college, while my brother just graduated and is looking for a job. I'm actually considering switching jobs right now too...I'm getting bored with finance. Do you know of any interesting jobs around us?

[Speaker 1] That is nice to hear. I know that my neighbor is trying to hire a project manager at his firm. Would you be interested? you may have to travel quite a bit.

[Speaker 2] I'd love that actually, it sounds like it could be right up my alley. And I love traveling so much...I've been bored to death sitting in my office day in day out...traveling a little might spice my life up a little more. Could you introduce us?

[Speaker 1] Sure thing. But be warned. If you work for him, he may send you to Japan and Australia. I love traveling myself but flying for half a day is a bit too much for me haha.

[Speaker 2] Oh man you are only making me more excited! I've always wanted to go to both those places. I don't mind flying that much. Thanks so much for being willing to put me in touch!

I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters.

My family likes Italian food. I love pizza. Magherita pizza is my favorite. I work as a chief at an Italian restaurant. My job is busy and rewarding.

I have siblings with office jobs.

I like traveling. I don't like long flights.

I dont like to clean.

I have italian heritage.

I have a big family. I'm the oldest child. I have three younger sisters and one brother.

I love pizza.

I work in finance. I am bored by my office job. I want to be creative. I am considering finding a new job.

Meat pizza with extra sausage and pepperoni is my favorite. I like Magherita pizza.

I love traveling. I don't mind flying.

[Speaker 1] What kind of crust do you like for your pizzas?

[Speaker 2] I like thin crust for my pizza

[Speaker 1] I like thin crust better too!  It seems like the toppings stand out more with less crust.  So what kind of creative work would you be interested in, given you are bored with your office job....?

[Speaker 2] I would love to make pottery and mosaic's on tables.  I think that I could have store with these things that I make as well as essential oil candles made with soy that I would learn to make.  I could add new things as I make them.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's awesome!  I'm always a bit envious of those who can create beautiful pieces of art.  My art is making a pizza....lol!  But I love it, and I guess that's what matters.  So have you ever been to Italy?

[Speaker 2] I make pizza every Saturday night for my family.  We love it.  I have never been to Italy, but would love to go at some point.

[Speaker 1] I did visit there once, but the flight there is so long.  I would love to visit again someday, however.  Where all have you traveled?

[Speaker 2] I have been to Vegas, Tortola, Half Moon Kay, Nassau, and St. Thomas.  I have also been to Florida a couple of times.

[Speaker 1] I think that's great.  I have been on a cruise and visited some places during that.  Would love to take a road trip out west, and see Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Vegas.  Did you like Vegas?

[Speaker 2] I loved Vegas.  We spent a week there.  I loved the sites and the lights.  It is a very pretty place to visit with lots to see.  Don't get sucked in my just the casino's.  There is so much more to it than just that.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I always wondered about that.  All you ever seem to hear about is the gambling aspect, and I'm not a big gambler.  So its nice to hear I can enjoy without that.

[Speaker 2] We did a little gambling at the penny slots and did win a couple hundred, but there is the fountains at the Bellagio and the botanical gardens, as well as Caesar's Place.  There are the Pyramids and the Eifel Tower.  It has so much, plus you should go to old Vegas strip


I like drinking expensive wine.

I own a french bulldog.

I like getting my nails done.

I'm leaving for college in three months.

My favorite band is muse.

I am vegan.

I work at walmart as a stocker.

I enjoy sipping a lavish bottle of chardonnay.

I own a cute puppy.

My parents gave me a lot of money so I do not work.

I enjoy manicures.

I just graduated high school.

I like country music.

I do not eat burgers.

When items become low on shelves I make sure they are replenished.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you? Please tell me about yourself!

[Speaker 2] I'm doing okay. Just anxious!

[Speaker 1] Oh, sorry to hear that. What is the problem?

[Speaker 2] Ok, so I am about to start college. I am not sure what to expect!

[Speaker 1] Oh cool, what is your major? Maybe I can help you.

[Speaker 2] I haven't picked one yet. But I am good with people and I like learning new ideas.

[Speaker 1] Maybe some type of business degree or management would be good!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good idea! I am a walmart stocker after all and understand business

[Speaker 1] Currently, I'm unemployed, living off of a trust fund. I've a degree in business.

[Speaker 2] Wow, good for you trust fund babies are lucky. Do you enjoy music?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I do and I really love drinking wine while listening.. Lol!

[Speaker 2] Your tastes seem refined. I love listening to muse really helps me unwind after walmart!

[Speaker 1] Yes, definitely! A good pedicure always helps me to unwind as well.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds so amazing! That and a side of fruits and regis would be delicious!

[Speaker 1] Yes, for sure. Do you like dogs by any chance?

[Speaker 2] Dogs are cool. Do you have one and if so what breed?

I am unemployed and living off a trust fund. I have a degree in business.

I enjoy listening to music and drinking wine.

I like pedicures.

I'm about to start college.

I'm a Walmart stocker.
I like listening to Muse.
I like pedicures, fruits and regis.

[Speaker 1] Were you working at Walmart today?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I worked my usual shift this morning.  We typically try to stock the shelfs before the customers arrive.  Do you ever shop at Walmart?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, for common household items. There's some really good deals there. I'm sure Walmart is just temporary for you - is there anything in particular that you are considering for college?

[Speaker 2] Yes, agreed, there are some good deals to have there. Once I leave for school, I will give up the job at Walmart.  I am looking forward to majoring in Marine Biology or perhaps becoming an Architect.  George Costanza has been a big influence on me.  I know you have a business degree, but do you think the majors I am considering are worthwhile?

[Speaker 1] Definitely they're worthwhile. Even if I or anyone else thought otherwise, that shouldn't stop you from pursuing your dreams. As long as you're dedicated, there's a career to be had in any industry.

[Speaker 2] That is great advice, thank you.  I really just want to be happy.  Do you think you will enter the workforce at some point?  If so, would you look to do something with the business degree?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm actively looking for a position in the financial sector. It's not very dignifying living off of money my parents set aside for me. I want to become something beyond a trust fund baby.

[Speaker 2] I don't see any issues with enjoying the spoils of your family's hard work, I would probably do the same if I was in the same situation.  My uncle works for Goldman Sachs, but I have never been interested in a career in financial services.  I am happy to pass along your resume if you would like.

[Speaker 1] It's definitely a nice to luxury to have, and I'm grateful for it. I want to repay their hard work by becoming someone that they're proud of, I guess. That's a very prestigious firm, if you could do that for me it's definitely a step towards getting to where I want to be.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they are a prestigious firm, but from what I have heard, they have a history of working their junior staff very hard.  Not sure if that is still the case, but I have heard him tell stories.  I will be seeing my uncle next weekend for a very small family gathering.  If you send my your resume, I will happily pass it along.  He has been there for about 25 years and is an MD in their asset management group.  I think he refers to it as GSAM.

[Speaker 1] I'm willing to put in the effort they require of me, it's not a big deal to me. I'll send it over now. By the way, my dad is a professor at Yale, so depending on your grades, I can get him to pull a few strings if needed to get you in, in exchange for the huge favor you're doing for me.

[Speaker 2] Wow, talk about prestige, Yale is at the very top.  That is very kind of you.  I am not sure that I am Yale material at this point, but am looking forward to working hard and getting good grades and applying to grad schools of that caliber.  I will be sure to keep in touch and will look out for your resume.

I like pedicures.

I sometimes shop at Walmart.

I have a business degree.

I currently do not work. I am looking for a job in the financial sector. I am a trust fund baby.

My dad is a professor at Yale.

I'm about to start college. I haven't picked a major. I plan to major in Marine Biology or Architecture.

I like listening to Muse.

I like pedicures, fruits and regis.

I stock shelves at Walmart for a living.

I have a family gathering next weekend. I plan to pass on the resume to my uncle who works for Goldman Sachs.

[Speaker 1] I sent my resume to you to pass on to your uncle.

[Speaker 2] Ok awesome! Did you take a look at other templates online to make it the best looking resume possible?

[Speaker 1] I tried to make it as professional looking as possible. I looked around at examples online but not templates.

[Speaker 2] Gotcha, I will pass it on to my uncle and put in a good word for you!

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much! How's college going?

[Speaker 2] So far so good! I still haven't chosen a major, but everything is going well so far. Hopefully I can get a nice job later on so I don't have to stock shelves for a living

[Speaker 1] You still have plenty of time to pick a major. Are there any classes you really enjoy? That's one way to help narrow down your choice.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm getting closer to picking Marine Biology as my major, but not set in stone yet. I'm assuming once I start taking some classes, I'll figure it out soon enough. Have you sent your resume out to anyone else yet?

[Speaker 1] Marine biology sounds so interesting! You'd get to spend so much time in the ocean lol. I haven't yet sent out more resumes because I was focusing on making sure I really polished it up.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's the plan lol. Ok gotcha, hopefully my uncle is able to help out. I'll ask him to send your resume around just in case there is more openings somewhere else :)

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing. You are really going above and beyond for me. Please let me know if there's any way I can repay the favor. Maybe lunch?

[Speaker 2] Sounds good will do! Will hit you up later!

[Speaker 1] Hello friend today is my birthday!

[Speaker 2] It is!? Happy birthday! How old?

[Speaker 1] I am sixty nine years old today!

[Speaker 2] Wow. Great number. There are 69 counties in washington state.

[Speaker 1] Thank you for this excellent fun fact! I'll share it with my friends.

[Speaker 2] You should. I've many friends here in seattle, home of starbucks.

[Speaker 1] Do they have pizza? I like pizza.

[Speaker 2] Yep, we have that. I don't eat it though for I despise animal products.

[Speaker 1] I feel guilty because I am harming the earth.

[Speaker 2] We harm ourselves, that is the buddhist theory. It will get better

[Speaker 1] Perhaps one day we will all reach eternity.

[Speaker 2] We will, there is no stopping that. I try to convey that in my work.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] I tear atoms apart and throw them at people. I also use marketing.

[Speaker 1] Is that hard? Do tear atoms?

[Speaker 2] The machine tear them easily, they'ren't so well glued it seems.

I just turned 69 years old.

I like pizza.

I have many friends in Seattle.

I do not eat animal products.

I tear atoms apart and throw them at people for work. I also use marketing.

[Speaker 1] Have you gone to Seattle to visit your friends?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately I haven't gotten the chance to get out there recently. I've gotten really swamped at work having to seperate atoms for my research.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry work has been so busy, but at least you are doing important things. Hopefully, you will be able to take a vacation soon.

[Speaker 2] I am hoping to be able to get some time off in a few months. It's just that the research is so important there's never really a good time to take time off.

[Speaker 1] I understand that. You are needed. I used to enjoy working on important projects, but I am really happy to be retired now and finally get a chance to relax.

[Speaker 2] You're lucky to be able to do that. My work is very important but at the same time it feels like there's only so many types of atoms you can research. The behavior is just so similar after a while.

[Speaker 1] That is interesting. I assume your research will never really be done. I am going to order a pizza for dinner. What are you going to have?

[Speaker 2] Probably a big healthy salad. It's been a while since I've had a nice salad.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I will get a salad with my pizza. I was going to get a pepperoni and jalapeno pizza but I am going to leave the pepperoni off.  It tastes good, but I never really feel good about eating meat. It just doesn't feel right to me.

[Speaker 2] I don't eat meat at all. I'm too worried about how the animals were treated to be able to enjoy it. I've never enjyoed a salad with pizza though. I do love eating spaghetti with it!

[Speaker 1] I get it. That is what I always think about. I hate the idea of animals being hurt and treated badly. Salad and pizza is definitely a good combo. You should try it.

[Speaker 2] Next time I get pizza I just might do that. I've been craving pizza lately. I'm not sure why I've wanted it so much I used to eat it all the time but it really has been a while since I've had any.

I just turned 69 years old. I used to work, but I'm now retired.

I like pizza.

I feel guilty for eating animal products. I don't like eating meat. I don't like animal abuse.

I have many friends in Seattle.

I do not eat animal products.

I work in research, and I'm very busy at the moment. I don't have time for a vacation. I tear atoms apart and throw them at people for work.  My work is very important. I also use marketing.

I love spaghetti and pizza.

[Speaker 1] I had pizza for dinner after we spoke! It was delicious.

[Speaker 2] You know I love pizza, did you have any toppings and if so what were they?

[Speaker 1] Just the usual: pepperoni, mushrooms, jalapenos, bell peppers. Have you tried my toppings when I order our pizza?

[Speaker 2] Well since pepperoni is a an animal product, no, but I have tried the rest and it was really good. Do you have those toppings often or do you switch it up?

[Speaker 1] I usually switch it up, and felt super guilty after eating it, but I was sadly craving it. What do you get to substitute the pepperoni?

[Speaker 2] I get black olives instead as I like vegetables as my toppings, have you every tried them instead of pepperoni?

[Speaker 1] I tried olives once and almost threw up! How can you like it? Haha, I felt so weird eating it.

[Speaker 2] I guess everyone is different, like how I am still working and you are retired, how is retirement going?

[Speaker 1] You are right. Retirement has been good. I am golfing a lot. You should go with me next time.

[Speaker 2] I would like to but my work keeps me very busy and I have no vacation time, what do you like about golfing?

[Speaker 1] I like how I am able to have so much fun.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting, that is how I feel about my work when it succeeds, when do you go golfing?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that isn't good. But perhaps its for the best?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure yet. I have to worry about my four children and two dogs

[Speaker 2] That's certainly a lot on your plate. Is there something you can do to relax?

[Speaker 1] You know what makes me relaxed? Eating ice cream!

[Speaker 2] Sweets are always a good thing! My mom is a great baker and that always helps me

[Speaker 1] Is your mom around 50? That is how old I'm

[Speaker 2] She's in her 50s. She's the best baker in our family by far.

My mom is in her 50s. My mom is a great baker.

I am going to be a doctor.

[Speaker 1] How is Med school going for you?

[Speaker 2] i'm really loving it. I have always wanted to work in the medical field since i was a child.

[Speaker 1] I bet it takes a lot of time.

[Speaker 2] it sure does but at the end it's worth the time spent. How old are you children?

[Speaker 1] All under 10, so I know what it's like to be busy. I want to spend more time baking, like your mom, but I can barely keep up as it is.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand. Raising four kids on your own is no joke.  so you're interested in baking, that's wonderful

[Speaker 1] Yes, especially sourdough bread. I had some on a San Francisco once -- so good! But it takes hours to do it right.

[Speaker 2] sounds interesting but i don't know much about baking. What kind of ice-cream flavors do you like?

[Speaker 1] Vanilla's my favorite. Doesn't your mom like to bake? Has she ever done sourdough?

[Speaker 2] I also like vanilla. I know she has probably made it but i don't know much about baking as i'm usually busy with studies.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a specialty in mind?

My Husband left me.

I have four children under 10 years old and two dogs.

I like Ice cream. Vanilla ice cream is my favorite.

I am around 50 years old.

I like baking.

I live in Louisiana. I am in med school.  I'm busy with studying.

I like vanilla ice cream.

[Speaker 1] How has the studying been? We can grab some ice cream if you need a break.

[Speaker 2] I would love some ice cream! Studying for med school takes up all of my time. What is your favorite flavor?

[Speaker 1] I like Vanilla but I also love coffee! I like Hagen daiz's coffee flavor a lot. How about you? Anything else besides vanilla?

[Speaker 2] The only thing better than vanilla in my opinion, is a scoop of vanilla next to some of my mom's amazing baked goodies. Have you baked anything yummy lately?

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds delicious! Might be even better if you add a little rum! I baked a apple pie the other day, much less sugar than store bought ones but tasted as good as those! Did you learn any great baking recipes from your mom?

[Speaker 2] Apple pie has been my favorite since I was a kid. That's the first thing my mom taught me how to bake. Do your kids have a favorite treat?

[Speaker 1] No not really, I've been trying to avoid letting them getting used to being exposed to sugar and sweets. Although I love baking, it's really not that healthy. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] I don't yet, but maybe after I graduate from med school. I'm way to busy studying.

[Speaker 1] How's it going with your partner?

[Speaker 2] It's great! We're looking for a new house near my school in Louisiana. I hope to have a big fenced in yard so I can adopt a puppy. Are your dogs well-behaved?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I would say they are more well-behaved than my children. :) The kids drive me mad sometimes. I'm sure you will have those moments too when you become a parent one day.
