[Speaker 1] Hi there, how goes it?

[Speaker 2] Hi how are you doing tonight I'm fine thank you.

[Speaker 1] I am okay, I am a little tired

[Speaker 2] Oh get some rest later I have a lot of fun with nature.

[Speaker 1] I get my fun in piano and surfing

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun I have trouble paying my bills,

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm at a bar at the moment. Its money I guess

[Speaker 2] Y es times are very hard I think about moving to another country.

[Speaker 1] That isn't a terrible idea

[Speaker 2] It is a great one yes maybe I will move down south.

[Speaker 1] Do you not think it would be too hot?

[Speaker 2] Very hot there I like listening to electronic music do you?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes. I prefer country though

[Speaker 2] Country is so soothing and relaxing I like country music too.

I love to play the piano and surf.
I work at a bar.
I like country music.

I enjoy nature.

I'm having financial problems.

I fantasize about moving to the south, or to another country.

I like electronic music, country music.

[Speaker 1] I had a terrible day working at the bar. My customers were so rude!

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness! What happened?

[Speaker 1] There was this lady that was super demanding, ike she was the only person I had t serve. I got to her when I could and she screamed that it was the worst service she has ever received and stromed out. The energy was like that pretty much all night! People were so pushy!

[Speaker 2] Yikes, I witnessed something similar the last time I went to a honkeytonk down south. Do you have a good bouncer there?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. Pretty big intimidating looking guy, but he's super cool. It's been a while since I've been to a honkeytonk.

[Speaker 2] It's one of the main reasons I want to move down there, well that and the Applachian mountains.  I've found it very tough to move though, my wife lost her job and we can't afford much anymore.

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry to hear that. I know it must be stressful situation. I hope you are getting plenty outdoor time.That always seems to bring me a little peace. Especially when I am out on the water. Have you ever tried surfing? It's incredibly soothing.

[Speaker 2] That does sound fun. I like anything to do with nature, although I've never actually been to the beach. Is it hard to learn?

[Speaker 1] It took some time for me to learn, but when I let go of my fear of it, it became much easier. I've seen some cool critters out on the water.

[Speaker 2] I might have to try it whenever I go. As weird as it sounds, I really want to see a crab. They're like my favorite animal even though I've never seen one.

[Speaker 1] They are so cute! I see them often here. They are fun to watch. If you could move to any country, which would it be?

[Speaker 2] Probably Canada. Living in the wilderness like that, away from everything is a big dream of mine.

I love to play the piano. I work at a bar.

I like country music.

I haven't been to a honkeytonk for a while.

I like electronic music, country music.

I'm having financial problems.

I sometimes visit honkeytonks down south. I dream of living in the wilderness, in a place like Canada.

My wife lost her job, but would like to move down south because of the Appalachians and honkeytonks.

[Speaker 1] I noticed a pet store nearby. You should look into getting a hermit crab.

[Speaker 2] That could be interesting! I think I'd still want to get a crab though. I might not be able to afford one though since my wife just lost her job.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that sucks. Well, maybe you can get a hermit crab later or a real crab. Is she looking for a job?

[Speaker 2] She is, but she's looking for one further down south. I think it would be a nice change of pace. I just hope there's some nature and wilderness there, since that's where I'd really like to live.

[Speaker 1] That's exciting! If you want nature just don't go to a big city, those are concrete and very hot here in the South.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine!  like the honkeytonks down there, though. Plus, there's a big country music scene!

[Speaker 1] Yes there is! I've been to both Austin and Nashville, they have some great music.

[Speaker 2] I really want to go to a concert there when I've gotten my finances back up. But anyway, have you been surfing lately?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I just went last weekend. I stayed with my aunt who lives right by the beach.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I've always wanted to learn how to surf. I heard it takes a lot of core strength

[Speaker 1] It does take a lot of core strength, I had to do so many core workouts when I started. It can really take a while to learn.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure, it seems like a really physically demanding sport.

I enjoy spending time outdoors because it gives me peace. I especially like to surf. It took me some time to learn to surf. I've seen cool animals while surfing. I had to do a lot of core workouts when I started surfing.

I live in the South I've been to Austin and Nashville. I like the country music there.

Last weekend, I stayed with my aunt, who lives near the beach.

I like electronic music, country music.

I'm having financial problems.

My wife just lost her job, but would like to move down south because of the Appalachians and honkeytonks.

I like nature, but I've never been to the beach. Crabs are my favorite animal, but I've never seen them. I want to get a pet crab. I would like to live surrounded by nature and wilderness.

I really want to go to a country music concert.

I want to learn how to surf.

[Speaker 1] I'm planning another surfing weekend soon. If you'd like to come along, I can try to give you some pointers.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome. Wife and I have been wanting to get away after her losing her job.

[Speaker 1] Cool, yeah that's so unfortunate, but a short vacation could be good. Plus you'd get to finally go to the beach! Have you ever swam in a body of water with waves before?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't. I have never been to the beach before so this will be an adventure for me.

[Speaker 1] We can start easy then, I'll check the weather to make sure the waves won't be too big. My aunt's place has enough guest rooms for all of us, should be fun!

[Speaker 2] Thank you. This is really great of you. I just told my wife she is very excited. Just wants to get away from it all for a little while and she loved the beach when she was little.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Well since it's your first time to a beach, we'll have to do the whole thing. I'll bring sandcastle molds!

[Speaker 2] Omg, that is awesome and sounds like fun. I can't wait and it is prefect cause I already had the time off of work.

[Speaker 1] Sweet! Maybe we'll even see some crabs! Probably not big ones, but there are often sand crabs if you dig into the sand by the ocean a bit

[Speaker 2] That is cool. I feel like a little kid at Christmas. And thank you I know you didn't have to do this for us.

[Speaker 1] It's no problem really, will be a lot more fun with you guys there! Plus it'll be refreshing to see it all through new eyes haha

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it all seems the same when you see it all the time. I guess me and the wife should get to the store and get some swimsuits and stuff for the trip.

[Speaker 2] I don't know krav maga. Is it fun?

[Speaker 1] It's a military self defense.  It's a lot of fun but difficult for me.  I'm trying to get better.  Seen any monsters lately?

[Speaker 2] No. My dad says they aren't real. Are you sad you lost? I hope you weren't hurt.

[Speaker 1] He's right that the monsters you are thinking of aren't real so you don't need to be afraid.  I'm disappointed in myself but it motivates me to do better.  Do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 2] What is a sibling? I have a doll with blue eyes.

[Speaker 1] Brothers and sisters are siblings so I am guessing that you have none.  Do you go to day care at all while your parents are at work?

[Speaker 2] I have some friends in day care, mostly a boy named Peter. But he doesn't like the same dolls I do. I have a Mom but she is away a lot for her job. Did you have a Mom when you were little?

[Speaker 1] It's good that you have some friends.  Do you ever miss her?  Yes, my Mom was always home when I was young so I spent a lot of time with her.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard from your friend Peter?

[Speaker 2] no, Peter has been traveling with the circus!

[Speaker 1] Wow. Your friend seems interesting. Friends are important. I never expected to find my best friend in a day care.

[Speaker 2] Wow, what happened a day care?

[Speaker 1] That's where I found my best friend. So do you like the circus? You're not scared of acrobatics, are you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love the circus, not many left! No i would love to swing with the acrobatics!

[Speaker 1] I would like to swing with them too. Given that I practice krav maga, I should learn acrobatics too. I would be unstoppable if I knew krav maga plus how to swing like a monkey.

[Speaker 2] What is krav maga? Never heard of that before.

[Speaker 1] Krav maga is military self defense. I am training regularly so I can learn to not make the same mistakes I did in my first tournament. You could start training self defense in a few years if you wanted to.

I just moved from va to pa.

I grew up on a large farm.

I listen to podcasts.
I like to read.
I am a diabetic.
Traffic makes me mad.
I have a long drive to work.

I enjoy hearing others stories.

I've a medical condition that's made worse by the cold weather in my state.

I love learning about new things.

I love books and reading.

I get irritated when I'm stuck behind dozens of cars.

I've a time consuming commute.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Great. How are you?

[Speaker 1] Great, thank you. Are you from the country or city?

[Speaker 2] I am from florida. I hate the traffic here.

[Speaker 1] I bet. I am from the country. Growing up on a farm has perks, like no traffic!

[Speaker 2] That is nice. I love reading and listening to podcasts. You?

[Speaker 1] Reading is a love of mine too! I also write my own patterns and do beadwork

[Speaker 2] Very cool! Sounds like fun and relaxing.

[Speaker 1] Indeed. Where are you from?

[Speaker 2] Florida but it is too hot for me. I'm moving to tn. In spring

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah. You told me that. My apologies. I'm from virginia. I now live in pennsylvania.

[Speaker 2] I love virginia. I'm diabetic but love sweets. You?

[Speaker 1] I suffer from fibromyalgia. It is going to be a bit tougher here due to the cold.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am sorry to hear that. Feel better.

I live in Pennsylvania now.

I enjoy reading. I make patterns and do beadwork.

I have fibromyalgia.

I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts.

I am diabetic. I love sweets.

[Speaker 1] I am going back to see family in Virginia during the holidays.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun. Which of your family members live in Virginia?

[Speaker 1] My parents as well as much of my Mum's family so aunts and uncles and some cousins. How come you are moving to Tennessee?

[Speaker 2] Wow, you have quite an extended family over there. It will be nice to visit the place where you grew up, I bet. I have an old friend who lives in Tennessee, and we plan to share a 2-bedroom apartment there.

[Speaker 1] It's always so nice to visit. That sounds good! It's always good to move in with someone you like rather than a stranger. What is your favorite podcast? I want to get into listening to them but I would need some recommendations as there are just so many to choose from.

[Speaker 2] I really like comedian Marc Maron's podcast, which is called the "WTF? Podcast". He interviews A-list celebrities and has an informal, casual interviewing style.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun! I'll give it a listen. What kind of sweets do you enjoy? Do you have to be careful with your sugar intake as you are diabetic?

[Speaker 2] I love chocolate chip cookies, Flipz pretzels, gummy bears, chocolate cake, and really anything sweet. I do have to watch what I eat, or my blood sugar could spike and I would go into diabetic shock.

[Speaker 1] Oh no ! Has that happened before! Sweets are so delicious it would be hard to cut them out of your diet completely.

[Speaker 2] It hasn't happened in many years, thankfully. Is your fibromyalgia under control? Do you have to take medication for that?

[Speaker 1] It is thankfully. Yep I have to medication and have to go to the doctor's a lot for checkups. It does take careful monitoring but thankfully I seem on top of it for the moment. Do you have to self administer insulin for your diabetes?

[Speaker 2] That's good that it's under control. I can only imagine the pain you experience. Yes, I give myself the insulin shots, which has taken a lot of practice to do correctly and without any pain.

I grew up on a farm in the country in Virginia. I live in Pennsylvania now. My parents and my Mum's family live in Virginia.

I have fibromyalgia.

I want to start listening to podcasts. I will listen to Marc Maron's podcast.

I am from Florida. I live in Florida. I am going to move to Tennessee in the spring. I plan to share a 2-bedroom apartment with my friend in Tennessee.

I like Marc Maron's podcasts.

I have to give myself insulin shots.

[Speaker 1] My fibromyalgia started acting up today.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, that is horrible. How are you feeling? Do you need anything? I know that is not the best thing to happen. I would hate to go through that.

[Speaker 1] No I'll manage, that's sweet of you though. Just makes threading my beads kind of a pain but that's what Ibuprofen is for. How has the apartment hunt been going?

[Speaker 2] I have not really been working on finding a place yet, I have to wait until my friend is ready to go look since I am not close enough to go places personally. She will video chat when we start looking so I can see the places with her. Is there nothing other than Ibuprofen that can help you?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. Well I could get a prescription for something stronger but I don't want to become dependent on any prescription pain killers. I've seen too many horror stories.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah. That is true. Maybe you could just get one for when it gets really bad and only use Ibuprofen when it is just kind of bad?

[Speaker 1] Maybe. I think I've just got that old farmer mentality of grit your teeth and bare it from my folks. Anyways, I was doing my beads the other day and found an episode of the Maron podcast with one of my favorite authors so I figured I'd listen while I worked. Such an interesting new media! I like the long conversations they get to have.

[Speaker 2] I honestly prefer the shorter podcasts that last no more than like 10 to 15 minutes and have crazy things on them. I usually watch Rhett and Link. Especially when they eat random stuff. Of course that makes me want things I am not supposed to eat haha. Does it help you to listen to stuff to take your mind off the pain?

[Speaker 1] Oh I've seen them on YouTube! they are great! I guess I don't really think about the pain too much, the flare ups don't usually last too long. It's just something to occupy the mind.

[Speaker 2] That is good. Yeah they are great. I only know about diabetes. I know if my blood sugar gets too far off and I have to go to the hospital, it can last days to get it right again sometimes. So I wasn't sure about how it works with you

[Speaker 1] My grandmother had diabetes. Looked like a real hastle with all the finger pricking. She had a seizure at my 7th birthday party, it was really scary.

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet that was. I don't have to prick my finger. I have a dexcom and it keeps up with what I need it to. I just have a very advanced form of it and I have issues keeping my sugar right if I give into cravings

I have fibromyalgia.

I want to start listening to podcasts. I like Marc Maron's podcast. I like to watch youtube.

I am afraid of getting addicted to pain pills so stick with otc pain meds.

my grandma had diabetes and had a seizure on my 7th birthday.

I love chocolate chip cookies, Flipz pretzels, gummy bears, chocolate cake, and anything sweet. I have diabetes. I use a dexcom to manage my diabetes.

I have to give myself insulin shots.

I like Marc Maron's podcasts. I like shorter podcasts and like Rhett and Link.

[Speaker 1] Do you cook or bake with any sorts of special ingredients to manage your diabetes? I have experimented with coconut and almond flour in the past for "healthier" baking.

[Speaker 2] I am trying to follow a keto diet to eliminate sugar and keep my carbs low. So I've been using both those flours and stevia as a sweetener because I LOVE sweets.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard of monkfruit?

[Speaker 2] I have heard it but I haven't tried it yet.

[Speaker 1] Ok. I was wondering if it's healthier than stevia or not. Is there a type of sweetener made of coconut, if you know?

[Speaker 2] I don't really like stevia. I think it has a bad aftertaste. So I should try monkfruit. There is something called coconut sugar.

[Speaker 1] I see. Have you tried coconut sugar yet, then?

[Speaker 2] Yes it is very good but it has the same glycemic index as regular sugar so it is not healthy!

[Speaker 1] Uh oh. It always seems like there's so much to know! I wonder if honey is good for diabetics - seems like everyone's been talking about manuka honey these days.

[Speaker 2] Honey is really healthy overall but it has a high glycemic index too! Diabetes is really tough for sweets lovers!

[Speaker 1] Wow, yes I guess so. Well, maybe the monkfruit will work out. Anyway, have you and your friend started preparing for the big move?

[Speaker 2] Yep, I've started giving stuff away so I have less to pack!

[Speaker 2] Oh my! Its finally cooling down where I'm, in time for my europe trip!

[Speaker 1] Cool!. Being a writer, I could use a trip for some inspiration!

[Speaker 2] Have you ever been on a cruise ship? I've not, that would be inspiring

[Speaker 1] No. But I do hunt throughout the years with my brothers. Do you hunt?

[Speaker 2] No, being a woman in size 12 I'm trying to stick to a veggie and fruit diet

[Speaker 1] How about any barbecue? I love it! Maybe you can try fish?

[Speaker 2] Ribs used to be my favorite

[Speaker 1] I enjoy a good plate of ribs as well. Smothered in sauce!

[Speaker 2] Now I love to do my shopping on the weekends, instead of all the eating

[Speaker 1] Speaking of shopping, a home has been my most recent purchase. What about yours?

[Speaker 2] Dance lessons with my boyfriend, I bought them just a few minutes ago online!

[Speaker 1] How fun! I have always wanted to try a dance class.

[Speaker 2] Me too, I'm excited to try it! Before my trip

[Speaker 2] I'm doing well. Although I work most of the time.

[Speaker 1] What do you do? Have any pets? I have a lizard

[Speaker 2] The business is a restaurant... Italian food. I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] Whats their name? I also have a dog.

[Speaker 2] Neo. Like from the matrix.

[Speaker 1] You guys go for long walks? We do

[Speaker 2] Car rides mostly. I've a pretty nice car.

[Speaker 1] I am looking for a larger house with an apartment for my mother.

[Speaker 2] I hope you find something soon. I'm planning a road trip soon.

[Speaker 1] Me too! I have found a couple spots that might work for her. Where are you planning to go on your road trip?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes having family around all the time becomes a bit too much! I'm hoping to head somewhere where I can go do some scenic hiking.

[Speaker 1] Scenic hiking sounds nice. Are you going by yourself or with others?

[Speaker 2] I am going by myself, I also need a break from my family. I bet your dog would like going for a hike!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I love to take my dog hiking on the weekends. We have a few spots right around where we live that I can take him. Do you have any spots in mind for your trip or are you figuring it out as you go?

[Speaker 2] That's great! It must be nice to get out in nature so often. I'm figuring it out as I go. I can only go for a couple days since my restaurant has been so bust lately, but I really need the break.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense, especially since you have family around all the time at the restaurant , I can see why you would want a break. Being out in nature is the perfect way to do that!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm glad for the business but it's getting really stressful. At least the food is always there! Have you cooked anything new lately?

[Speaker 1] I haven't had much time to cook lately, work has been very busy for me as well. I did make a Chicken Gnocchi soup recently. It was so good! I will plan to have it more often, especially since it is so cold here right now. Do you have a favorite dish from your restaurant?

[Speaker 2] I did! I am heading to los angeles to hike runyon canyon! I can't wait!

[Speaker 1] That sounds awesome!! I went there a few years ago. It is a gorgeous hike! Are you bringing your cat?

[Speaker 2] Neo is my co-pilot! Of course he is coming. Just the two of us and the open road to a journey of beautiful hiking.

[Speaker 1] So exciting! You will have to take a lot of photos! If I wasn't so busy at work, I would try to meet up with you.

[Speaker 2] Try and get some time off. Your dog would probably enjoy some hiking too!

[Speaker 1] I think he would! I would enjoy a break from my mom too. I love her, but she has been nagging me so much lately.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand. Family can get on your nerves like no one else!

[Speaker 1] SO true! When do you plan to visit LA? I will try to get time off.

[Speaker 2] I am coming the last week of March. Hopefully you can make time to see me. I can bring some Italian food from the restaurant. I know how much you love our chicken parm.

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh! That sounds so delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I think you have convinced me. Let me confirm with my boss that I am not needed that week.

[Speaker 2] Fingers crossed that we can get together. Neo will enjoy seeing your dog too :)

I love to cook.

My mother lives with me. It is sometimes difficult living with my mother.  My mom nags me a lot. I'm looking for a larger house for my mother.

I go hiking on the weekends.

I have been busy at work lately.

I went to Los Angeles a few years ago.

I like chicken parm.

I have a nice car. I'm planning a road trip, to do some scenic hiking. I'm taking a trip by myself. I'm going to Los Angeles to hike. I travel with my cat Neo.

My favorite dish is Chicken Cacciatore.

[Speaker 1] I went to a really good Italian restaurant when I was in LA if you're interested when you visit.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, that sounds like a great time. You know I love scoping out my competition. Haha, only kidding, but I hope I'm not too critical, don't want to spoil a hopefully good meal.

[Speaker 1] Haha, yes it was a good meal thanks. I just went for a margherita pizza, but it had amazing fresh mozarella, garlic oil and fresh basil. Molto deliciozo! How is the restaurant going at the moment?

[Speaker 2] You know, it's like Hell on earth, sometimes. Sometimes, I ask myself why I even signed myself up for this. We are short on employees. Me and most of the family have been working 6 to 7 days a week, overtime. Mama is too old to be working in a kitchen like that, it's too hot in there for her.

[Speaker 1] Oh goodness yes I can imagine it is far too hot in a kitchen for an older person. I'm sorry to hear it's so stressful. Do you think you'll be able to get some more employees soon or are there just no good candidates at the moment?

[Speaker 2] We get lots of applications. But I swear, I don't understand this generation today. These kids apply for the jobs, accept an interview when I call them back, then they never show up! It's making me lose my mind, I really need that road trip.

[Speaker 1] That is so unbelievable, why do they take the time to apply and then not even bother showing up? Even if their circumstances miraculously changed overnight, they could at least let you know. I really hope you manage to get some time off soon!

[Speaker 2] I'll never understand. I will say, the people I have hired this year have been great. They've all excelled in their positions. But finding new help has been the biggest struggle. I'm not picky - I just look for people with strong ethic and a desire to learn, but most people can't even handle showing up for the interview process. It's okay though, I know in the end it will work out, and I'm happy that the restaurant has been staying so busy, despite all the work.

[Speaker 1] Thank goodness you've had some good staff! I know you're not a picky person, you've always just said you need enthusiastic people who want to get the job done well. I'm so glad to hear that the restaurant has kept busy despite the stress of it all. Have you added any new dishes to the menu?

[Speaker 2] We've added a Veal alla Carbonara, and it's personally one of my favorites. Veal is such a soft, tender meat. I love it. So far, people have been pretty responsive to it. I think we need to advertise some of our dishes better, though.

[Speaker 1] That sounds lovely, I haven't had veal in years. If I manage to get some time to come visit your restaurant I'll be having that for sure! Do you still serve those marinated olives? It might be a silly thing to mention but they were some of the best olives I'd ever tasted!

[Speaker 2] Yes! We used to have people order them as an appetizer only, but now we serve a small portion with the bread before the meal to every table. Now, everyone gets to taste them, and it's almost doubled our sales on the marinated olives appetizer!


I think I need botox soon.

I'ven t had to work a day in my life.

I don t know why my sister in law dislikes me.

I went to school for fashion design and did nothing with it.

I m fabulous from my on trend haircut to my louis vuittons.

Traffic makes me mad.
I've a long drive to work.
I listen to podcasts.
I am a diabetic.
I like to read.

I've a lot of wrinkles.

I never had a job and I never will.

My brothers wife has tanked.

I studied clothing designs but never used it.

I'm very trendy with my personal style.

I get irritated when I am stuck behind dozens of cars.

I've a time consuming commute.

I love learning about new things.

I've sugar issues.

I love books and reading.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today

[Speaker 2] Hi there! Doing great, I'm on the way to work but it takes forever!

[Speaker 1] I get headaches just thinking about work

[Speaker 2] Me too, but I like to put on podcasts to speed up the drive!

[Speaker 1] Honestly I've never been to work. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately unable to work too hard being a diabetic so I do a small side accounting job

[Speaker 1] Sorry at least you don't have to deal with a sister in law that hates you

[Speaker 2] That is true, reading is a hobby of mine to escape reality

[Speaker 1] Botox is my escape which I really am in need of right now

[Speaker 2] I need some too, god I hate this traffic

[Speaker 1] Was accounting always your first career choice?

[Speaker 2] No way I only did it for the money

[Speaker 1] I was a design fashion major, never used my degree

[Speaker 2] What do you do now?

[Speaker 1] Botox, mostly a haircut every now and then

[Speaker 2] I need a new haircut maybe you can help me

I do not like work.
I have never worked.
I have a sister in law.
I like Botox.
I have a degree in fashion design.

I listen to podcast while driving.

I am a diabetic.

I like to read.

I need Botox.

[Speaker 1] I just got more Botox and in a fight with my sister in law.

[Speaker 2] Why are yall fighting?

[Speaker 1] Because she doesn't like me and thinks her brother could do better but in reality she's just jealous that I'm so pretty.  Did you go in for botox yet?

[Speaker 2] That's terrible! I haven't yet. I'm kind of scared to do it.

[Speaker 1] Why are you scared?  It's a quick and easy process and you'll be soooo glad you did it.  Trust me!

[Speaker 2] I have heard horror stories! Is it expensive.

[Speaker 1] Those horror stories aren't common, it would be like being afraid to drive to work because people get into accidents sometimes.  It depends on how much you get, but you make good money.  On a different topic I'm looking for a new podcast to enjoy while working out, are there any you can suggest?

[Speaker 2] I don]t know if you would like any of the ones I listen to. I've been listening to a lot of things on science and spirituality lately. Is that something that would interest you?.

[Speaker 1] I'd be more interested in one that talks about fashion, beauty or celebrity gossip.  Maybe you've happened to stuble across one before

[Speaker 2] I listened to one briefly a while ago about fashion, but I can't remember what it was called. I'll try to find it again and let you know. I've been wondering, please don't take offense to my question, but what can you do with a degree in fashion design?

[Speaker 1] If I wanted to work I could get a job as a fashion designer, a job at a well known fashion brand, work in fashion magazines, work on fashion shows and so on.  When I got the degree I decided that work just wasn't for me.

[Speaker 2] I understand. If I didn't have to work, I don't think I would either. My job is very stressful, but it pays the bills.

I do not like work. I have never worked. I have a degree in fashion design.

I am looking for a new podcast.

I am a diabetic.

I like to read.

I need Botox. I have not gotten botox.

I am an accountant. I only got into accounting for the money. I have a stressful job that pay the bills.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought more about botox?

[Speaker 2] I've thought about it, but I am interested. Do you think it is worth it?

[Speaker 1] I definitely have a look that I need to maintain so it was worth it.  My confidence has gone through the roof now that I've had it.

[Speaker 2] I think that would benefit me. Is it cost effective?

[Speaker 1] It was on the expensive side, but you can't put a price on beauty. Of course, my sister isn't talking to me again because of it.

[Speaker 2] That sounds rough. Do you think she will be able to get over it?

[Speaker 1] Probably not. We've always had this dynamic, ever since I "stole" her boyfriend back in high school. It's a long story, but drama just tends to follow me around.

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. Have you listened to any good podcasts lately?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm still looking for a good one.  Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I like true crime and comedy podcasts. There's also one called "Get Rich Nick" which is pretty good. They try and find get rich quick schemes.

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting, I'm always in need of a good one because I blow through them so quickly. I basically live at the these days.

[Speaker 2] Ya, I like them, they really help to pass the time.

I am in a fight with my sister in law. I think my sister in law is jealous of me. We fight a lot. I've been fighting with her since high school.

I like fashion, beauty, and celebrity gossip, Botox. I have a degree in fashion design. I got Botox.  I work out. I will do anything for beauty.

I am looking for a new podcast. I love podcasts and listen to them all the time.

I listen to podcast while driving. I like listening to science and spiritual podcasts. I like true crime and comedy podcasts.

I am a diabetic.

I like to read.

I need Botox. I have not gotten botox.

[Speaker 1] I was able to find some pretty good fashion podcasts to get me through my workout, so thankful for that!

[Speaker 2] Nice!  What kind of things do they talk about in fashion podcasts?  The ones that I listen to are more spiritual, like Bible study material and things like that.

[Speaker 1] These days I'm doing a lot of listening on sneaker trends. They talk about which brands are popular and making good shoes. Are you into fashion at all?

[Speaker 2] A little bit.  As I get older, I find that I need things to help me feel as attractive as I did when I was younger.  I has been hard to accept that my natural good looks are fading over time.  I've been thinking about setting up an appointment to finally get that Botox we were talking about.

[Speaker 1] I'm no spiritual guru, and I think getting Botox is going to be great, but you have to remember that what makes you attractive is not just the outside!

[Speaker 2] Oh I know, but ever since my divorce, I've felt like I need to put on a pretty face in order to get some dates.  You probably don't have any trouble with that, do you?

[Speaker 1] I know what you're saying. Yeah, I suppose you could say I don't have trouble getting dates, but sometimes I'm not sure who actually spends time with me to actually get to know me, you know?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's hard to find someone that you know for sure wants you for you.  That was the biggest problem with my ex husband.  I think he fell in love with the idea of love, not with me.  I couldn't live like that anymore.  My job is stressful enough.  I don't need to have the stress of not feeling good enough at home too.

[Speaker 1] I glad you were able to process that about your husband and you. I think you made a healthy decision.

[Speaker 2] So how are things going with you?  Anything new on the sister-in-law front?

[Speaker 1] Still fighting. She doesn't seem to understand what it means to admit fault.

[Speaker 2] Ugh, I understand that.  What did she do this time?


I work with my wife.

My daughter just graduated high school ranked at the top of her class.

I'm a zookeeper.

I enjoy my job.
My child is very smart.
I work at the zoo.
I am a very supportive husband.

I enjoy eating to match my work out.

I'm from minnesota.

On the census I check the box for being a white person.

I like to skate.

[Speaker 1] Hello there my name is kat

[Speaker 2] Hi there how is your night going? Just finished watching a hockey game here.

[Speaker 1] It is going okay so far

[Speaker 2] Doing anything fun tonight? I am gonna go enjoy the weather and rollerblade.

[Speaker 1] Not really just watching my daughter

[Speaker 2] Same here. School night. What do you do work work?

[Speaker 1] I work at a zoo

[Speaker 2] Oh cool! I work as a nutritionist, so I do not eat any sugar.

[Speaker 1] I tried limiting my sugar intake but it never works for me

[Speaker 2] I know it is hard. It is in everything. But a balanced diet in important.

[Speaker 1] I know, I really need to get on one

[Speaker 2] Working at the zoo you are very active I am sure. A good diet would compliment that.

[Speaker 1] Probably so one day I'll make one

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite animal to take care of at the zoo?

My name is Kat.
I have a daughter.
I work at a zoo.

I like hockey and sports.

I like rollerblading.

I am in school.

I am a nutritionist.

I avoid eating sugar. I try to eat a balanced diet.

[Speaker 1] I just got a call from the zoo I work at, one of the monkeys escaped from its cage!

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness! Does that happen a lot?! How do you catch them?

[Speaker 1] This is a pretty rare occasion to be honest! We have to call animal control and be very careful.

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet. I'd imagine it's all hands on deck until he's back in the cage. What other animals have escaped, or is it always the monkeys?

[Speaker 1] We've had a few birds manage to get out but it's rare we ever see those again. The monkeys are pretty easy to get back in, it's just that finding them in the zoo is hard.

[Speaker 2] I bet. Once the birds are gone they're gone, but I'll bet the monkeys get hungry and tired eventually, lol

[Speaker 1] Yeah the monkeys just go around and eat a lot of food. So what have you been up to today?

[Speaker 2] Not much, to be honest. I watched some hockey, might play some basketball later. What are your plans once the monkey has been caught?

[Speaker 1] Hopefully we can get him back in his cage by the time school is out. I have to pick up my daughter from school then I'm free for the evening.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's nice. Well time is of the essence! Make sure to pick up some bananas on your way to the zoo, lol

[Speaker 1] That's not a bad idea! Hopefully they are nice and full already so it isn't an issue.

[Speaker 2] Well if they get hungry, they'll know which zookeeper to call. Best of luck. You're much braver than I am!

I like hockey. I like rollerblading. I play basketball.

I am in school. I am a nutritionist.

[Speaker 1] We caught the monkey that escaped! Fortunately it was much easier than I expected.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh! Thank goodness!!! How were you able to finally catch him?

[Speaker 1] We lured him into a cage with food. Food always seems to work well.

[Speaker 2] Awww. What is his favorite food? Do monkeys really like bananas?

[Speaker 1] They do like bananas but they really like a variety of fruit. This particular monkey loves figs.

[Speaker 2] Too funny. I would have never imagined that monkeys liked figs! Figs are delicious though, don't you agree?

[Speaker 1] They're not my favorite but I do like them in a spread or with other things. I don't think I could just eat figs by themselves.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever had it as a spread on pizza? That is REALLY good. Especially with spinach and mushrooms.

[Speaker 1] Yes! Fig spread on pizza is so good! That's actually my daughters favorite pizza, and I'm so glad her favorite pizza is somewhat healthy.

[Speaker 2] Haha that is a blessing. Does your daughter help out at the zoo much?

[Speaker 1] She's learning. Right now she doesn't interact with too many of the animals, because even herbivores can be dangerous. She does help with the babies and the food though.

[Speaker 2] How old is she? That completely makes sense. I have heard stories of monkeys biting people before!

My name is Kat.

I have a daughter.

I work at a zoo. I caught an escaped monkey. our monkey likes figs.

I dont really like figs, but i do like it as a spread.

I am in school. I am a nutritionist.

I love figs. I like fig spread on pizza.

[Speaker 1] I had to make a fig-spread pizza because our earlier conversation had me drooling!!

[Speaker 2] You really should, it's delicious!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's out of the oven but we haven't had any yet. I'm not sure my daughter is going to go for it but it's worth a shot!

[Speaker 2] I think she is going to love it!  How is she by the way?

[Speaker 1] She's good! Just one more week to go and she'll be finished with third grade. She's growing up really fast.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's crazy! Time goes by so fast.

[Speaker 1] Truth. Say, how is school going for you? When are you finished for the semester? How much longer til you get your degree?

[Speaker 2] School is going great, a little stressful though. I actually finished the semester last week and I'll get my degree next year!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! Are you going to keep your current job or go for something else when you finish school?

[Speaker 2] I'm going to keep my current job, however earning this degree it will allow me to have a promotion!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! So what kinds of new responsibilities will you have?

[Speaker 2] Now I'll have more flexible hours and earn more! I'll also be able to work from home and manage the office more.

[Speaker 2] Trust fund. It is running out though. I hate paying bills. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Bills suck! But my job pays really well so its all good

[Speaker 2] Well i studied Business administration.so that counts. How has your week been? looking forward to the weekend?

[Speaker 1] My week has been good, but the weekend will be better.  We do have some openings in the marketing department.  Do you have a bachelors or masters?

[Speaker 2] Bachelors for now. Oh i dont mind doing some sales. I know however i feel the weekends are always short and not enough. what do you have planned?

[Speaker 1] I am just relaxing and watching movies.  My company prefers candidates with a MBA, but may be open to one with a good solid work history.  How long have you been out of work?  Are you living off your trust fund?

[Speaker 2] about  months off work. I do nintend to get my masters, just lazy and a job will motivate me to. yes i am living of my trustfund but you know eventually it will run noff. im bored out of my brains. do you live with family?

[Speaker 1] No, just me living with a roomate.  You know NYC!  I will have to send you the link to apply to your email.  You can use me as a reference if you want.

[Speaker 2] oh thats nice.i stay with my family. but it is nice. please do send . i intend to just rest nd not do anything

[Speaker 1] Living with your family may be better than with a random roommate!  I am looking to move.  I will sent that email later on today.  I hope you get hired.

[Speaker 2] thank you so much. Where are you moving to? When are you moving?

I don't eat meat.

I have a job in New York City. My job pays well. My employer opened up 10 new positions in the marketing department.

I have a Bachelors in Business Administration. I don't have a job. I want a job. I have been out of work for months. I am unmotivated. I am living off my trust fund.

I live with my family.

[Speaker 1] I was wondering if you sent in that application to my company yet. I've been looking at apartments lately and found some places that I think I'd really love to live at.

[Speaker 2] I applied over the weekend. Thanks for all of your help! I really hope that I get the job.

[Speaker 1] Great work!  Of course, I'm happy to help!  I hope everything works out!  I think it will help you with a lot of things in your life.  Do you have an interview set up yet

[Speaker 2] Not yet. But, I am staying hopeful and optimistic. I really need some good to come my way to motivate me. I think once I have a job I will be motivated to lose some weight and start improving my life.

[Speaker 1] Yes, keep that positive attitude!  Tomorrow at work, I'll go put in a good word for you and suggest they interview you.  You're highly qualified so they'd be crazy to not!  I think you're right.  Once you get a job, I think you'll feel better about yourself and want to work out.  Any ideas on the types of workout you want to start with?

[Speaker 2] I want to start with walking and make my way to running. You are lucky to be NYC ince it is such an active city where people are always exercising. It must be inspiring.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it really is.  It makes you want to be your best self, that's for sure!  I think that's a great place to start!  Are you really ok with moving to New York if you get the job?  We could do a morning run together in Central Park every morning!  It would be great!

[Speaker 2] I would love to come to NYC. I need to get away from my family because they are enbling me. Being aroudn you will be good for me.

[Speaker 1] I really hope this works out!  I actually really think it will.  It would be great for both of us because maybe once you're here I won't want to leave!  LOL!  I'm sorry about your family.  Are they going to be upset with you moving?

[Speaker 2] My mom will be devastated. My dad probably won't even notice! Lol!

[Speaker 1] Oh no!  Ha ha!  Mom's are a bit more aware of their children.  At least that's how my mom is too!  She can come visit at least!  Have you ever been to New York?

[Speaker 2] I haven't. So hopefully you stick around long enough to show me around and get me settled!

I don't eat meat.

I am afraid of clowns.

I live with a roommate. I live in New York City. I want to move. I am willing to let you use me as a reference to apply to my company. i'm inspired by the active people in the city.

I am becoming overweight.

I live with my family.

I applied for a new job this weekend the same place the other speaker works.I dont have an interview set up yet. I need to lose some weight. I want to start working out.

I would love to move to NYC. My family enables me. I've never been to nyc.

[Speaker 1] I would love to help you apartment shop. I am an expert at that now

[Speaker 2] No kidding.  I certainly would like to move to NYC, but I'm not sure it would be compatible with my budget at the moment.

[Speaker 1] Maybe in a few months? Did you get the job you applied for?

[Speaker 2] They called yesterday to set up a Zoom interview on Thursday.  I'm cautiously optimistic.  The job is remote so I could theoretically live anywhere, but even so New York is pricey.

[Speaker 1] Ah I see! Did you ever apply to my company?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I did, still waiting for a call back on the accounting position.  Thanks so much for letting me use you as a reference.  What a hoot if we got to work together.

[Speaker 1] I would love that! I'm in need of some of new fun coworkers to hang out with after work!

[Speaker 2] I could stand to let my hair down as well.  It's not a whole lot of fun living with my folks.  I mean they're great for letting me stay here, but, yeah, I could stand to have some fun too.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine! I lived with my parents right after I graduated college! Could not wait to get out!

[Speaker 2] Do you currently live with a roommate or do you have your place all to yourself?

[Speaker 1] I think I mentioned before that I live with a roommate. She is really nice!

[Speaker 2] So you did, I'm glad that's working out for you.  Hmm, maybe if I found a roommate to split expenses with I could actually make that move to NYC.  Do you happen to know anyone who's looking right now?


I am a store guard.
I love canines.
I'm currently looking for a new home.
I want to purchase a sports car.

On the weekends I help out at a homeless shelter.

I am very ambitious.

My employment is manufacturing goods.

I enjoy making other people laugh.

I make sure I am promptly where I am supposed to be.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] I am doing great now that I am off duty.

[Speaker 1] Ll I just got off duty as well

[Speaker 2] Whats that odds of this happening. Don't tell me you work at a factory?

[Speaker 1] I work as a security guard in the mall

[Speaker 2] Cool. I bet you see a lot of strange things.

[Speaker 1] Ll yes I do

[Speaker 2] I see that you like to laugh. I love jokes. Want to hear one?

[Speaker 1] Sure it beats being lonely

[Speaker 2] Why did the boy bury his father under the stairs?

[Speaker 1] So he can stay put

[Speaker 2] Ll, wrong, but I like your answer.

[Speaker 1] Ok what is the answer

[Speaker 2] Because it was his step dad.


My father is a school teacher, he teaches middle school.

I have four siblings.

I'm 5 3 and am the shortest person in my family.

[Speaker 2] No I am the only one, do you?

[Speaker 1] Yes, four of them, but I am the oldest.

[Speaker 2] That's pretty cool, what you do for living

[Speaker 1] I'll probably go into teaching, as my father teaches middle school. You?

[Speaker 2] Nice, I'm a baker, I'm ready to retire, how old are you

[Speaker 1] Well, my youngest sibling is in first grade, if that gives you an idea.

[Speaker 2] O wow, haha you are very young

[Speaker 1] Yes I'm. How tall are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm 511 haha, you

[Speaker 1] I'm 53, so everyone in my family is taller than I'm.

[Speaker 2] Oh I see, I guess it's in your family, good you want to pursue the same line, you will have your dad to guide you through

[Speaker 1] Exactly, I can hopefully avoid the struggles and pitfalls! Baked anything good lately?

[Speaker 2] yep, happy for you at least you have it figured out already. Yea, I had baked some meat pie last weekend, hoping to repeat it again because it came out so good

[Speaker 1] Ooooh it's been a long time since I had meat pie. Pie is such a good winter food. Do you cook many pastries or are you not into sweet things?

[Speaker 2] Yea, it's good to have meat pie during winter especially with some hot chocolate drink. I don't have a sweet tooth and so don't usually bake pastries , but will do so at the request of a friend

[Speaker 1] If you find any good recipes for sweet treats I would love to learn how to bake some. And tips for good meat pies are always appreciated! I'm not a great cook, I'd like to improve

[Speaker 2] Yea, there lots of recipes online regarding how to bake meat pie and other things you may like, it's not hard. You have any plans this weekend ?

[Speaker 1] Nope, nothing exciting. I guess I'll be watching all my siblings while my dad grades homework. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, that's a way to help in the family which I'm sure your dad appreciates. I will be chilling down myself and try to watch some movies, do you have anything you can recommend ?

I have 4 siblings. I am the oldest.

I am 5' 3".

I'm not currently in college.

I have no exciting plans this weekend.

I am an only child.

I am 5' 11".

I studied information systems in college.

[Speaker 1] What movies did you end up watching over the weekend?

[Speaker 2] I watched some old horror classics and some new horror. I watched Halloween and the new Halloween that's the sequel.

[Speaker 1] Nice. I haven't seen Halloween yet, I am not the biggest fan of horror movies. Did it get you in the mood for Halloween even though it's a little far away?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm always sort of in the mood for Halloween. I like the spooky vibes and the weather. It's perfect pie weather.

[Speaker 1] Haha it is great pie weather! I wish I was a good baker like you. Have you baked any dessert pies lately?

[Speaker 2] Nope, but I'm baking key lime pie for a friend's birthday party this upcoming weekend.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice! That's my mom's favorite! We used to eat it all the time when I was growing up.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. What's your favorite pie?

[Speaker 1] Pumpkin! I bought one from the store last week. I finished it within 3 days. It was SO delicious!

I have 4 siblings. I am the oldest.

I am 5' 3".

I'm not currently in college.

I haven't had meat pie in a long time. I enjoy pie in winter. I'm not a great cook, but I'd like to improve. When I was growing up, we ate key lime pie all the time. My favorite pie is pumpkin.

I don't like horror movies.

I wish I was a good baker.

I am an only child.

I am 5' 11".

I bake bread. I baked meat pie last weekend that came out good. I want to make it again. I like meat pie in winter with hot chocolate. I don't have a sweet tooth. I don't usually bake pastries unless asked by a friend. I'm a good baker. I baked a key lime pie for a friend's birthday party.

I like horror movies, both classics and new ones. I've seen the original Halloween and the sequel. I like Halloween. I like fall weather.

[Speaker 1] I visited a bakery and they had the best pies I ever tasted.

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness, you visited a bakery and didn't tell me! What kind of pie was it.

[Speaker 1] It was blackberry streusel.  It was absolutely delicious.  I was going to ask if you had ever made anything like that before.

[Speaker 2] Well, as you know I'm more of a savory pie kind of person. I wanted to know if you were free this weekend to try some of the meat pie I made last weekend.

[Speaker 1] I would love to!  It's been a long time since I've had meat pie, I would really like to try it again.  Would it be ok if I brought my younger sister along with me?

[Speaker 2] Of course! And maybe I can try to make a blackberry pie too, so that we can have a dessert pie as well. Are blackberries in season now? Have you seen any in the market?

[Speaker 1] I think they are about to come into season.  You may have to have some imported a from a little farther south.  But it's definitely a date.  My sister is going to be so excited.  She hasn't gotten to go out in a long time.

[Speaker 2] Well it has been really cold. I can't believe we've had 2 storms in a row. I've had to shovel more snow this week than the last winter combined.

[Speaker 1] Yuck, I hate having to shovel snow.  Thankfully my dad and brothers do most of that and I get to stay inside with my sister.  I hope that you've been safe while you're out there.

[Speaker 2] I actually enjoy it for the most part. I can listen to music, podcasts, talk with friends, and such but my back is so sore!

[Speaker 1] I can imagine.  That's a lot of shoveling!  What music do you listen to when you're out there?

[Speaker 2] I usually listen to funk or hip hop. Those usually get me energized and keep me moving fast.


I like working where I live.
I'm on facebook way too often.
I love cuddling with my babies.
The dr said no sitting up for me.

I get up before 5 everyday.

My job takes most of my time.

I really need to go to the gym more.

After I've my morning oatmeal, I lay down again for a bit.

I ike right before night time.

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

[Speaker 2] I am tired. I love getting up early to watch the sunrise. I do this everyday.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could... Confined to my bed and work from here.

[Speaker 2] I work so much. 60 hours a week is alot.

[Speaker 1] It is. I spend most of my time on social media.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry. How long have you been confined to bed? I love social media.

[Speaker 1] 14 years. Sometimes I pretend I'm different people on social media.

[Speaker 2] Awe. I usually eat breakfast then go back to bed. I should go and exercise more.

[Speaker 1] I love when my pets get into bed with me. Fuzzy, knickerbocker and consuela.

[Speaker 1] I guess so, my gram makes jewelry because she's loves it.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I love shopping. Maybe I should buy some of her stuff.

[Speaker 1] She has a facebook page where she sells it. I live with her and my pap

[Speaker 1] Haha so do I, I can not help it

[Speaker 2] It happens. Did you get hit by the hurricanes?

[Speaker 1] Nope just some rain here. Did you?

[Speaker 2] Not as bad as texas, but we had some issues here in florida.

[Speaker 1] I have lots of fantasy novels and poetry books. They are my favorites!

[Speaker 2] I am a romantic. And I am pretty bored today.

[Speaker 1] I've a lot of homework to do. I am studying writing in school.

[Speaker 2] I was never good at writing papers. I am so glad I am done with school!

[Speaker 1] I'm studying so hard because I want to be a journalist.

[Speaker 2] That's very cool! I'm a high school teacher, but not in english... Lol

[Speaker 2] I teach us history. My kids don't have to write papers.

[Speaker 1] That's nice of you. My mom is a librarian at a high school.

[Speaker 2] Ouch. Too bad. I read a lot. And dance when I can. Do you read at all?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I sneak read the magazines at work at the grocery store yes haha

[Speaker 2] Lo, that counts! I lean toward books, but you gotta go with what is available.

[Speaker 1] My mother reads a lot of books for her job social working for the school system

[Speaker 2] I see. She must have stories! Now I am reading two books on sharks.

[Speaker 1] She has quite the stories. She's my best friend and lives in the big city

[Speaker 2] I've never tried salsa before.  Do you think you guys could give me a quick lesson?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely.  Can you teach me polka?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a fair deal: polka lessons for salsa lessons.  I'm in!

[Speaker 1] Great! In the meantime I will read up on Polka so I can get a leg up on it.  Is there any interesting books on Polka that you can recommend?

[Speaker 2] I'll have to take a look at my bookshelf and see what books I have on Polka.  I really need to organize my bookshelves better.  There are books everywhere!

My mom grows plants in her garden. My mother lives in a big city so she can dance. My mother takes dancing classes.

I dance salsa.

I like to dance too. I dance country, swing, even polka.

[Speaker 1] Did you organize your books yet?

[Speaker 2] I've started!!!  I started putting them in alphabetical order which is sadly taking me a super long time.  LOL!  Now I just need to find some great shelves to put them on.  Any ideas where to find some that don't cost an arm and a leg?

[Speaker 1] Good for you! Have you heard of "Offer Up"? At work last night my buddy was telling me about how he buys a ton of stuff on there. He just meets up at the grocery store after work so it's a safe spot

[Speaker 2] I haven't!  I'll totally look it up, thank you!  That sounds like the perfect way to find some shelves.  What's your favorite magazine to read?

[Speaker 1] I like fitness magazines and cosmo. I actually love reading all the gossip mags at work too!

[Speaker 2] LOL!  Me too!  I love People magazine.  Ha ha!  It's fun to flip through, but I save most of my reading for books.  Do you read books much?

[Speaker 1] I actually have been using Audible lately for audio books. It makes running a little better. I actually look forward to it so I can find out what happens next in the book. Have you ever tried those?

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea to listen to books while running!  Believe it or not, I've never listened to an audio book before!  It's even shocking to me!  LOL!  I love having a book in my hands.  But I can see how being able to listen to a book anywhere is highly appealing!  What have you been listening to?

[Speaker 1] That's surprising! I used to listen to the audio books on tape cassettes from the library back in the day. I just started re-listening to "A brief history of time" by steven hawking. It's super interesting. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I know.  All my friends would listen to Harry Potter on tape as a kid but when I was in the car I wanted to listen to music!  Ha ha!  I love Steven Hawking!  Such an interesting and inspiring human being!  I just got done with The Book Thief.  Have you ever read it?  It's amazing!!!

[Speaker 1] I haven't ever read that. What is it about?

[Speaker 2] It's set in Germany during World War II and is a story about a young girl who steals books and her family is hiding a Jew in their basement.  It's amazing.  You should check it out if you like World War II stories!

I dance salsa.

I like fitness magazines, cosmo and gossip magazines.

I use Audible. I run. I am listening to "A brief history of time" by steven hawking.

I read a lot. I mostly read books. I read two books on sharks. I have a lot of books that are unorganized. I love People magazine. I love Steven Hawking.

[Speaker 1] Have you found book shelves yet?

[Speaker 2] I haven’t.  But I was looking online and found a few that I like.  It’s just so hard to make a decision.  I’m not very good at interior design.

[Speaker 1] I am not good at interior design either. I've read some magazines about fashion design though.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever designed any clothes?

[Speaker 1] No, it was just a random magazine I once picked up while at my job. I would say though that I have somewhat of an appreciation for the struggles of those that are in fashion design. Maybe you can try an online assistant to find you a good recommendation for a book shelf? I used online recommendation algorithms a few times to buy a few t-shirts and the television I presently own.

[Speaker 2] I’ve never used an online assistant before, I’ll have to look into that.  Thank you for the idea.  How are you liking a ‘Brief History of Time?’

[Speaker 1] It's great. A real eye opener into how mysterious the universe is. The upside of using Audible is that I don't need a bookcase and Audible alphabetizes everything for me. When I was a teenager, I organized my board games, stuffed dolls, books, and magazines on my bookcase.

[Speaker 2] Yeah audible is great.  I love to use it on long car trips. But to me there is something comforting about curling up on the couch, holding a book, and turning the pages

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is true. I miss the bookcase I had as a teenager. My mother sometimes thinks technology is making the new generation lazy. After you set up your book shelves, send me a picture of it. How far along are you with alphabetizing? Are you finding good deals for the book shelves?

[Speaker 2] I haven’t done much organizing yet, figured I’d do it once the bookshelves were here.  I found some great deals on Wayfair and Amazon.  I’ll definitely send you a picture once I get them.  How’s your mom’s garden doing?

[Speaker 1] It looks beautiful right now, filled with so many different kinds of plants and colorful flowers. I sometimes painted on the bookcase I had when I was a teenager. Maybe you can try painting the bookcase and adding artwork on it.

[Speaker 2] I’m not much of a painter.  Is the garden just flowers or does she grow veggies too?


I now live on the other side of the country.

I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together.

I grew up milking cows every morning.

I could never be a vegetarian.

I enjoy manicures.

I own a cute puppy.

I enjoy sipping a lavish bottle of chardonnay.

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

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I'll be fine after I finish this expensive glass of vino

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I also will be better once I get my nails uv cured

[Speaker 1] An expensive glass of vino sounds wonderful. Better with red meat!

[Speaker 2] Yes my trust fund allows me to have wine and red meat every night.

[Speaker 1] Nice, we own a farm so we have meat often. I have moved far away though

[Speaker 2] Where did you move to?

[Speaker 1] California, I repair peoples computers now.

[Speaker 2] That's a good occupation. I'd do that if I needed to work.

[Speaker 1] Are you good with computers as well?

[Speaker 2] Yes. After I walk my french bulldog to the nail salon, I sit and design websites

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a nice life, french bull dogs are my favorite!

[Speaker 2] Do you have any hobbies or pets?

[Speaker 1] I've one dog, he's a chihuahua terrier mix. I like concerts, computer work

[Speaker 2] Manic Panic.  You are right about St. Patricks day, I didn't even think about that.  What color do you use?

[Speaker 1] I havent really ever colore my hair. Im kinda scared LOL. Im not sure it would be appreciated at my job.

[Speaker 2] What made you change hair colors that drastically?

[Speaker 1] I didnt, its always been brown. Although some grey is starting to show, so maybe i should consider dying it.... but id probably still go brown

[Speaker 2] But you said you dyed it blue!?

[Speaker 1] oh you are right, i forgot about that time for halloween. it was the quick spray color that washes out easily

[Speaker 2] Oh, okay.  Well that explains everything.

[Speaker 1] what kind of cat do you have?

[Speaker 2] Cuddles is a tabby cat.  I love her so much.

I like to read. I like Twilight.

I like to teach cupcakes.

I like reading. I like Tale of Genji.

I color my own hair. My hair is purple, but I want to change it to green. I use Manic Panic to color my hair.

I have a tabby cat named Cuddles.

[Speaker 1] How old is Cuddles? Where did you adopt your cat from?

[Speaker 2] Cuddles is seven years old. I got her from a local shelter. She is my best friend. I can't imagine life without her!

[Speaker 1] Okay! Let's do it! You talked me into it! I will make cupcakes too. I want try try out a new recipe.

[Speaker 1] How do you like tale of genji so far?

[Speaker 2] It's ok, but I'm having a hard time connecting with the characters.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it is a pretty ancient book.  I'm more into modern literature as the older stuff is such a hard read.

[Speaker 2] Everybody keeps telling me how important of a book it is, and I should keep reading it. What do you think? Should I keep going or switch to another book?

[Speaker 1] I don't personally care about that type of literature.  I always say to stop reading if you don't like it.  What other types of literature are you interested in?

[Speaker 2] I really love Victorian-era literature! That's my true favorite!

[Speaker 1] Hmm, maybe the Scarlet Letter?

[Speaker 2] Yes, Hawthorne! I read "Young Goodman Brown" in high school as my first introduction to the author. That is one I haven't yet read yet. Great suggestion!

[Speaker 1] I haven't heard of that one.  I did read the Scarlet Letter many years ago and it is a stark reminder of how far we have come as a society.

[Speaker 2] Given recent struggles, I wonder Hawthorne's perspective, whether we have indeed come far as a society or not.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, sometimes I feel like we are going backwards.

[Speaker 2] Fat-shaming, for example, isn't much different than being branded with an "A"...

[Speaker 1] I went to watch Pittsburgh penguins play the other day.

[Speaker 2] How did it go? Who won?!

[Speaker 1] The Penguins one 5-4 vs the Rangers, was a great game! Id much rather be watching the Bruins play. Do you ever go watch Hockey or any sports?

[Speaker 2] I do! Funnily enough, my favourite team is the Pittsburgh penguins. Sometimes I get so busy that I can't watch matches anymore.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's a shame. What are you busy doing?

[Speaker 2] I teach piano! Very hard to balance teaching and practicing! It gets very busy. What about you? Where do you work?

[Speaker 1] I work at McDonalds, I hate it and can't wait to leave. I've applied for a job working as a steward at the Penguins, really hope I get it that way I can watch hockey and get paid!

[Speaker 2] Oh that does sound like a dream job! I am a bit jealous really! How come you hate working at Mcdonalds? Is the pay that bad?

[Speaker 1] Yeah! Really bad pay, long hours, horrible work conditions and just very boring! Have you ever had any other jobs or have you always been a piano teacher?

[Speaker 1] Do you have a favorite type or brand of chocolate?

[Speaker 2] I'm partial to Lindt dark chocolate or sometimes Godiva.  What about you?

[Speaker 1] I like chocolate and about any kind.  But, my favorite is just plain Hershey kisses.  Is it fun being a twin?

[Speaker 2] The best part is that your wardrobe doubles when you have a twin.  It's always an ice breaker at a party or when we meet new people.  People really like twins.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think twins are fun to talk to. I like finding out how much they are alike.  Are you a lot like your twin?

[Speaker 2] Sue is more of a football fan and doesn't care that much about baseball or hockey.  She's also a little more shy since I'm the older by a few seconds she defers to me as the leader most of the time.  Do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 1] No I'm an only child.  I hope I get the job with the Penguins, I am so sick of McDonalds.  We get a discount on food and I eat way to much.

[Speaker 2] Working at a hockey stadium would be pretty nice, how often do you get to see the Penguins play?

[Speaker 1] I go whenever they play a home game.  That is where most of my money goes, to buy game tickets.  Do you ever go to their games?

[Speaker 2] I try to see a few games a season but it's hard to find the time to devote a whole day to watching hockey.  I have a lot of students that need my attention.

[Speaker 1] I can understand that.  Does your twin teach piano too?

[Speaker 2] She plays a little bit but she stopped taking lessons when we were young.  I think she was rebelling and trying to do different things than what I was doing.  Sometimes being too alike another person can get irritating after a while.  What music do you like?

I love rock music and guitars.

Basketball is my favourite sport. I like the bruins hockey team. I watched the Pittsburgh Penguins play hockey recently. I'm more of a Bruins than Penguins fan. I go to see the Penguins every time they play. I spend most of my money on Penguin matches.

I hate my current job at McDonalds.  I eat too much using the discount I get as a McDonalds employee. I recently applied for a job to work as a steward for the Penguins.

I like chocolate. My favourite chocolate is Hershey kisses.

I like finding similarities in twins.

I love the colour yellow.

I drink coffee.

I once worked at a candy store. I love chocolate in general, the color of the candy has no effect on my choice. I like Lindt and Godiva brands. I like dark chocolate.

My names is Carol. I have a twin called Sue. My twin is a football fan. My twin is shier than me.

I'm a piano teachers. My twin plays the piano. My twin rebelled and tried to do different things from mine.

[Speaker 1] Guess what? I bought a keyboard and I wanted to know if you'd be interested in teaching me the basics?

[Speaker 2] Sure! Playing the keyboard is quite similar to the piano, but with fewer keys.

[Speaker 1] does that make it harder or easier, do you think?

[Speaker 2] Easier. The keys/tones are the same, there's just fewer octaves. The theory is no different.

[Speaker 1] that's really cool. I had always wondered if there were differences that made them different instruments or if one was just the electric version of the other. have you been teaching piano a long time?

[Speaker 2] I've been teaching most of my adult life. I majored in piano in college.

[Speaker 1] that's so cool! it must be awesome to do something you love day in and day out. do you have a favorite style of music to play or teach?

[Speaker 2] I really like Jazz, because you get to improvise and be creative as you go

[Speaker 1] that's awesome. plus jazz really lets you feel the music. I took piano lessons as a kid and had to learn all classical stuff for years before being able to try new, fun things like jazz. do you start your students with basic stuff or hop right into fun stuff?

[Speaker 2] Much like anything, you have to learn the basics first, chords and such, so you can put them together

[Speaker 1] of course. makes total sense. do you have any particular jazz pianists whose music you love?

[Speaker 2] Not really, I"m a fan of all. Sometimes the new, not-so-famous players are just as good as the greats


I like body art.
I like to listen to live music.
I like to ask why.
I care a lot about animals.

My parents had many children.
