[Speaker 1] What do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] I don't work what about you

[Speaker 1] I build large aquariums.

[Speaker 2] Do you build the ones divers cab swim in?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I ve worked with seaworld.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome I love swimming

[Speaker 1] I find it soothing. I've a lot to deal with at home.

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear, you can rub my bald head for luck

[Speaker 1] That may be awkward. One of my six brother is bald maybe I'll try him.

[Speaker 2] Maybe a good idea how about a chocolate milk stiff drink?

[Speaker 1] Maybe, I'm in the process of learning sign language.

[Speaker 2] Do you know someone who is deaf or just wanted to learn it?

[Speaker 1] My wife just became legally deaf.

[Speaker 2] I stuggle with that myself deaf on one side.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that.

[Speaker 2] I have gotten use to it just means I do not have to listen to drama lol

I am a builder.
I work for seaworld.
I am learning sign language.
My wife is deaf.

I am Unemployed.
I like swimming.
I am deaf on one side.

[Speaker 1] Are you looking for a job?

[Speaker 2] I am. I've been looking for something where I can work in an office.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay. I know it is not an office position, but i heard my bosses talking about needing new construction workers on a new site we are getting.

[Speaker 2] I'm not opposed to that at all. But with being partially deaf, I'm a little worried about the construction noises and if I might not be able to hear hazardous things on the job site.

[Speaker 1] I definitely understand that. For the most part, we all have to wear these large construction ear protector muffs. They are like really big headphones, that protect our ears. However, I understand what you are saying about the not hearing hazardous things part. Have you thought about being a lifeguard, since you love to swim?

[Speaker 2] Ya know, I hadn't even considered that. And there's a place near me with an indoor pool, that might be needing one. I'll give them a call. I have two small children to support, so I really need to find something.

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect!! You should really look into that. Plus, i believe that if you work at a pool, you could get your children to swim there for free, or at least at a discount!

[Speaker 2] Oooh, bonus! lol As for your new job site.  I was just thinking ... could you maybe get me some contact info for your boss? I['m not afraid of hard work, and even if I couldn't do the actual construction or loud noise part, you know there will be painting and things coming up once construction is complete. If I'm still needing something by that time, maybe I could do that?

[Speaker 1] Honestly, yes that is a fantastic idea!! Plus, i don't know if you remember, but i work for seaworld. So maybe my boss could talk to one of the other bosses inside of the park and maybe you wouldn't even have to do a labor type of job after all. I didn't think of that until now.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that would be wonderful! I've visited SeaWorld a couple of times, and loved it. To have an opportunity to work there would be absolutely amazing! Thank you, so much!

[Speaker 1] No problem!! I will let my boss know and have him talk to the other managers. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything back.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I know a lot of applications ask if you're bilingual, and knowing ASL is truly a bonus. Since I've been partially deaf since childhood, I learned sign language early on, and I also read lips very well. I really think that could be beneficial, because I know SeaWorld has very diverse visitors.

I am a construction builder. I work for seaworld. I have a boss.

I am deaf on one side.

I am Unemployed. I am looking for a job. I want to work in an office.

I love to swim. I have 2 children. I have been to SeaWorld.

I know ASL. I can read lips.

[Speaker 1] I got in contact with my manager and gave them your contact info. They should contact you shortly!

[Speaker 2] Oh man I owe you one!  You really think there's a chance that they'll hire me, bad hearing and all?  I really hope so.  I could use the money.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes I think they will love you. If you ever want to move out of the office environment they are always looking to hire people who know ASL as some of the animals know some directions in ASL.

[Speaker 2] I'll keep that in mind but I think I'm more suited for the office.  Don't mention that to the kids though!  They'd want to me to switch immediately and then come to work with me everyday.  Not to sound greedy, but do you know if the office jobs comes with benefits?

[Speaker 1] Oh the kids would love the animals. You get special access for your families too if they come on a weekday! They have a 401k and standard health benefits. Nothing too fancy.

[Speaker 2] That's exactly what I'm looking for.  Thank you so much for passing on my resume!  I don't know how I can repay you.   You're making the Seaworld gig sound very promising.  Do you think they're looking for a part timer, weekends only?

[Speaker 1] I think they are looking for part time and full time in the offices. What hours would work best for your schedule?

[Speaker 2] Full time in the office for sure, M-F.  I was wondering if the trainers needed any help with ASL & the animals on the weekend?

[Speaker 1] That would be a great idea. I'm sure they would rather have someone internally teaching the trainers than hiring another individual for training. I will bring that up with the person in charge of overall training, we have lunch together most days.

[Speaker 2] Looks like I'm going to have to treat you to several lunches and dinners to properly thank you.  I don't mind the extra hours on the weekends.  I like to keep busy.  How long have you been working for the company?  I'm assuming you like it?

[Speaker 1] I would love it if you could give me some ASL pointers. I am pretty comfortable as my wife helps me but sometimes I get stumped so it would be good to get some pointers from another person. I love the job, I get to work around dolphins and whales all day and they keep me entertained.

[Speaker 2] I can give you lessons and help you out anytime you want.  It is a little tricky at first but the more you practice, the easier it will be.  You want to grab a drink after work tonight, my treat?  You can tell me more about the job and I can teach you some ASL

[Speaker 2] That is fun. Family time is important.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I was a preemie baby so my parents value family

[Speaker 2] Wow I bet that was rough on them when you were a baby. Where are you form

[Speaker 1] New york. My dad works for the times

[Speaker 2] That is cool. I was born in germany but my mom is chinese

[Speaker 1] Where do you live now?

[Speaker 2] I'm in texas now. I speak spanish and english so I understand everyone here

[Speaker 1] That is where I live now too. What a coincidence

[Speaker 2] Wow that is really cool

[Speaker 1] It is much hotter here than in new york

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is I like the weather here I hate the cold

[Speaker 1] I kind of miss it actually

[Speaker 2] You'll always miss your hometown

I have a sister.

I was born prematurely.

I live in Texas.

I am from Germany. My mom is Chinese.

I live in Texas. I speak Spanish. I speak English.

[Speaker 1] Hello how is Texas for you?

[Speaker 2] Well, right now it is so cold. I never thought Texas would have such a huge winter storm. I like that I can go see horses on almost ever other road, and that there is some really cool swimming places. How about you? Do you enjoy it in Texas? I know it has to be way different here than the East Coast.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it's pretty cold at the moment, but I'm used to that from New York. Winters can be brutal there. I like it in Texas it's warmer (usually!) How do you like Texas generally?

[Speaker 2] It is great really. So much hospitality and did I mention horses haha. I love seeing them. It is probably why I moved to such a small town with a lot of country.

[Speaker 1] Do you ride at all? I'd love to have my own horses! But I do get to ride at the stables pretty often.

[Speaker 2] I have never been on a horse. I am terrified of them. I like to go look at them. Observing them is so much fun, it is amazing. But I have never even pet one. They are so huge!

[Speaker 1] They are pretty big, but as long as you're careful there's nothing to be afraid of. They're really friendly animals as long as you respect them.

[Speaker 2] But they have deadly hooves they can kick you with and they can bite. Eh, I just like to observe. I am not comfortable with approaching them. I wanted to before but I got too scared and chickened out

[Speaker 1] Maybe one day you'll feel comfortable to give it another try, but if not they're beautiful to watch! Do you have any other favorite animals?

[Speaker 2] Well, I love fish. They are also amazing to watch. And I like to watch butterflies and dragonflies. But those aren't really animals. I guess I just like watching beautiful nature more than getting near it.

[Speaker 1] Fish are so relaxing! I love dragonflies and butterflies too, being in nature is amazing. Do you have a fish tank or do you prefer to watch them in nature?

[Speaker 2] I don't have one here, but I used to live in a dorm that had a HUGE fish tank with salt water fish in the common room. It was so beautiful and I did all my studies there.

I have a sister.

I was born prematurely.

I used to live in New York. I live in Texas. I like warmth.

I ride horses. I like horses. I enjoy nature.

I am from Germany. My mom is Chinese. I live in a small town in Texas. I speak Spanish and English.

I enjoy swimming. I like horses. I like fish. I like butterflies and dragonflies. I enjoy nature.

I used to have fish. I went to college.

[Speaker 1] I have a crazy story about a horse I just rode the other day.

[Speaker 2] Omg what happened? Did you fall off?

[Speaker 1] No.  The stupid thing wouldn't leave the paddock.  Kept reaching back and biting me every time I tried to goad it out.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh! Is it one you've ridden with before? I wonder why it was in such a bad mood

[Speaker 1] No.  It's just a crazy horse.  The stable owner sent me out on it as a joke knowing what it would do.

[Speaker 2] Man, that's really annoying. Maybe it's done worse to other people, you might have gotten lucky that it didn't kick you or something. Did you still get to ride that day?

[Speaker 1] No.  The owner invited me in for a beer after his laugh.  Said he had set me up after he found out my dad works for the Times (which he hates).

[Speaker 2] Yikes. How was it talking to him? Did he seem kind of crazy?

[Speaker 1] No, he's cool.  I couldn't really disagree.  I didn't have to be out of New York long to realize how out of touch the movers and shakers there are.  The people that resent being controlled by ignoramuses kind of have apoint.

[Speaker 2] Hmm yeah. I can see both sides of things. It's weird for me having gone to college in a big city but now living in a small town. Different needs for sure. A weird prank he pulled for sure, but at least he doesn't take life too seriously haha

[Speaker 1] Different needs.  But only one side wants to write the rules for the whole country.  Is it wierd rebelling against your parents by becoming a conservative?LOL

[Speaker 2] To be honest I'm just not very political. I'm happy to just mind my own business, go hiking, have fun with my hobbies.

[Speaker 2] I like both but I'm probably better at black jack!

[Speaker 1] Yeah so am I. I usually like to play other kinds of video games, but I feel like playing cards together would be much easier!

[Speaker 2] Probably! What other kinds of games do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like playing first person shooter games on playstation. Do you like to play any video games like that?

[Speaker 2] I've played some call of duty but I'm not very good at it LOL

[Speaker 1] Lol I like call of duty. What kind of music are you into?

[Speaker 2] I like just about all types of music but probably into rock and country the most. Do you play any instruments?

[Speaker 1] Rock music is my favorite! I tried playing guitar once but it didnt work out, it was too hard lol, what about you?

[Speaker 2] I play a little acoustic guitar, badly lol I'd like to take lessons to see if I can get any better but I've been using youtube videos to learn

I have never worked before.

I live outside of Orlando, Florida.

I play online poker and blackjack games.

[Speaker 1] I finally heard my favorite bands new album!

[Speaker 2] Did you like it?  You think I would?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it was awesome! I defiantly think you would like it!

[Speaker 2] Cool.  I'll have to check it out.  Are they planning any upcoming tours?  You can truly tell how good a band is based on live performances.

[Speaker 1] I'll have to look into that because I would love to go!! I agree! Would you want to go if they have anything coming up and you like the album?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, depending on the price of tickets.  I'm hoping I can find a part time gig on campus to have some spending money.  Know of any openings...anywhere?

[Speaker 1] Okay I'll look into it and get back to you on prices, because I also wouldn't be able to spend too much. I've been looking myself. I've seen a couple part time jobs that don't grab my interest. How about you, what are you looking for?

[Speaker 2] I'm looking for something low key and easy.  I heard there might be something opening up at the campus bookstore.  I'd love to work the register at the music shop but they're not hiring.  What type of job are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] That would be so nice! I'm looking for something music related as well but that seems pretty hard to find! Maybe somewhere at a casino nearby? I haven't seen any hiring though.

[Speaker 2] You know, we could monetize our assets.  You know how people get pay to stream their gaming on youtube?  Why couldn't we try that with poker and black jack?  I mean, I know we're not the greatest players but it's worth a shot.

[Speaker 1] Oooo I'm interested in that! Why not trying giving it a shot, it wouldn't hurt right?

[Speaker 2] That's what I think.  We could easily fit it into our schedules.  What's the worst case scenario?  We don't make any money from it but better our gambling skills?  You want to get together this weekend to figure out how to set it up?

[Speaker 1] Well I am somewhat of an artist. I draw... With my sausage fingers!

[Speaker 2] Sausage fingers? I work with beets. I live on the farm and always look bloody.

[Speaker 1] Yup, fat fingers... It happens. And you are a bloodied beet farmer? You are the fascinating one!

[Speaker 2] Well I also deliver papers for extra money. Would love to see your art.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Maybe sometime I can show you. Most of it is inspired by sprite

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds interesting. I wish I could own a bear. They are my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Bears are awesome. I feel big as a bear... I chugged too much sprite

[Speaker 2] You are making me thirsty now. When we finish, I'll watch battlestar galactia again.

[Speaker 1] That is your favorite show, right?

[Speaker 2] It sure is. Its my day off so I will watch it at least twice.

[Speaker 1] A great way to spend your day off. I am going to take care of this gassiness...

[Speaker 2] Burping or from the other end? Get to the restroom if the other end.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! Hopefully the sprite will run its course in the least offensive way possible.

[Speaker 2] That would be the best for you and anyone you may be around.

I have fat fingers.

I work and live on a farm.

I deliver papers.

My favorite animal is a bear. I do not own a bear.

My favorite show is Battlestar Galactica.

[Speaker 1] Did you watch the last episode of Battlestar Galactica? I heard it was crazy!

[Speaker 2] I actually have not seen it yet! Please no spoilers, I will cry so hard. I have been very busy, my cows just started dropping calfs like crazy. What kind of art have you been working on latelyl?

[Speaker 1] No spoilers here, but I promise it will be worth the wait! And sorry you've been busy with calves, but hope everything is going smoothly with them. I'm working on a fan-art-inspired art that popped into my head after a Super Bowl commercial. I'm struggling with it, but I'll get it eventually.

[Speaker 2] Which commercial? They always have the best commercials during the super bowl. I don't watch the game, but I always try to catch the commercials! If I miss them, I find them online later that week haha.

[Speaker 1] Same here! Even tho I was in Marching Band in high school / college, and went to -every- football game during those years, I just never learned to love the sport. Now, I just watch the game FOR the commercials, lol. But oddly enough, I was inspired by the M&M's commercial with Dan Levy. Yes, for Sprite Art!

[Speaker 2] The M&M commercials are always the best! That is awesome.  I hope you get it finished soon. Is that the only thing you have been working on?

[Speaker 1] M&M's are always the best, especially the Christmas commercials. I've also been helping my daughter get started on her Christmas projects for next year .. she's a crochet / knitter, and loves to handmake things for everyone.

[Speaker 2] This is a good time to get started on Christmas gifts. That sounds like a wonderful thing to do. I am proud of her! Great job!

[Speaker 1] Wish I could plan ahead like her! She might have gotten the creative gene from me, but thank goodness she didn't get a procrastination gene from me! She likes to get started early, where I'm always of the mindset of "nah, I've got time ... Christmas isn't until tomorrow!"

[Speaker 2] Haha that is hilarious. I am the same as your child. I start shopping for Christmas the day after Christmas. That is when everything is on sale, and i spend the rest of the year watching things I want to buy for the lowest price!

[Speaker 1] I guess I actually do that, too. But then I stuff everything in the closet all year and forget about what I've actually bought. So that by Christmas, I have absolutely NO idea what's in there, and I wait until a couple of days before Christmas to pull it all out and start wrapping!

[Speaker 2] I wrap as I buy, and then I am surprised on Christmas when others open the stuff haha! I am like OMG I forgot I bought that! It is such a great gift! I have even bought myself things and forgot about it by the next December ha

I am an artist. My art is inspired by sprite. I like to drink sprite. I like art as a hobby. I have fat fingers.

I like Battlestar Galactica.

I went to high school/college and was in the marching band. I don't love football.

I have a daughter.

I procrastinate.

I work and live on a farm. I have cows. I deliver papers.

[Speaker 1] How are the new born calfs in your farm doing? Did you manage to watch that episode of Battlestar Galactica yet?

[Speaker 2] The newborns are doing well.  It is satisfying to see them run after mom.  I might have some free time this evening to watch battlestar

[Speaker 1] That sounds adorable to watch. It is a great episode you will let me have to know what you think of it.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I wonder if the late seasons of Battlestar are as good as the first season.  It might be that the ideas are more thought out for early seasons.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I wonder if they didn't have as much access to graphics that they put a lot more effort into the plot and storyline.

[Speaker 2] It would also seem that later on, they are surprised they made it to season 4 or 5.  So they have to figure out where they were going and what they are really trying to do.  The shows get lost and the plot goes wild.

[Speaker 1] The plot does go wild. I feel like I've seen each episode about five times but I still find things hidden in the plot that I hadn't noticed before. Have you already done your delivery route for the day?

[Speaker 2] Yes, all the papers are gone.  I have a question, do you want to try half sprite and half milk?

[Speaker 1] I'd say I'm willing to try many things but I don't think I will be trying that. Have you tried it before?

[Speaker 2] Yes.  It is quite good.  Imagine milk that is sweet and fizzy.  I might have to go out and get a bottle of fresh whole milk from the dairy farm down the road.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I will try it sometime, do you grow any crops on your farm or do you just have cows?

[Speaker 2] Just cows.  The fields are grass.  They are never really harvested though. The cows take care of that on their own.

[Speaker 1] Very cool! You probably only get about 3 hours of sleep each day too, huh?

[Speaker 2] O yes my child is very busy! Lol his father is stay at home.

[Speaker 2] I love steak! And lobster too!

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness... Steak is my favorite!

[Speaker 2] Do u like music? I love taylor swift.

I love Taylor Swift.

[Speaker 1] Did you get more sleep last night?

[Speaker 2] I have not. My job has been needing me a lot more often. There is a big demand for beer with the upcoming holidays.

[Speaker 1] It must be hard working so much and then not getting enough sleep with a toddle! How do you manage it?

[Speaker 2] Yes it has but I have maintained my nutritious food intake at reasonable levels. By eating a lot of meat I can maintain my  energy levels high. Speaking of meat what is your favorite steak ?

[Speaker 1] I love a good t-bone! What about you?

[Speaker 2] That is a great choice. I love a good sirloin steak, grilled to a medium rare. How do you like your meat cooked?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy my steaks medium well ... I know it's not the "right" way to eat them but I just can't handle the bloodiness! Do you usually grill them? I'm looking for new recipes

[Speaker 2] I do not judge. LOL I am not a snob like some people who swear by eating meat a certain way. Everyone should be entitled to their preference. And I do, which is why I recommend you to grill them on a charcoal grill. It adds a smoky flavor and is ready pretty fast. By the way ,how is your commute to work ?

[Speaker 1] I'll have to try grilling more. Commute is still crazy. It takes me a little over an hour. I'm looking into moving closer to work. What about you. how long is your commute?

[Speaker 2] Wow that is crazy ! Fortunately I live five minutes away but I am not bragging. I really feel for you. Hang in there. I know you will find a place nearby. Have you been searching for a place nearby lately ?

[Speaker 1] I haven't started looking yet but I plan to. I just can't do the commute any more. I'm happy for you though that your work is close. It must be nice to be close to home and this kids

[Speaker 2] Yes it is but you will have the same scenario some day. Have you changed your mind about having a family ?

I don't have family.

Steak is my favorite food. My favorite meat is a t-bone steak. I prefer my steak cooked to a medium-well. I don't like my meat rare.

My commute to work is a little over an hour. I plan to look for a new home closer to my work.

I am a beer distributor.

I only get 3 hours of sleep a day.

I love Taylor Swift.

I have a toddler.

I am conscious about what I eat and my nutritional intake. I love steak and lobster. I eat a lot of meat. I love a sirloin steak grilled to a medium-rare temperature. I like to grill my steaks on a charcoal grill.

I live five minutes away from my work.

[Speaker 1] I got inspired by our conversation and started looking for a new place. I think I may have found a good one!

[Speaker 2] Good for you! Is it a lot closer to your workplace? What's the place like?

[Speaker 1] It's only 10 minutes drive to work so very handy. Its a really nice house with 2 bedrooms and a yard.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really convenient. It might be a bit much for your needs though, seeing as it has 2 bedrooms. Are you thinking of meeting someone and starting a family? Or are you planning to rent out the extra bedroom?

[Speaker 1] No, I honestly don't think I would be comfortable living with anyone. I just though it would be good to have the extra space since I'm closer to work I will have time for more hobbies. I can't wait to check out the local restaurants.

[Speaker 2] I see. It probably will be nice having the extra space and comfort. Have you scouted out any local steakhouses near the house?

[Speaker 1] Yes the nearest one is called Buddy's and it has a really good reputation - it is a steak and shrimp joint. I can't wait to try it. It also does live music events!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a really cool joint! I just made some steak and lobster tonight and it came out really well. I wouldn't say that it was restaurant quality, though. Do they serve your favorite, t-bone steaks?

[Speaker 1] Great, how did you cook them? Yes, I had a look at their menu and they have lots of different options.

[Speaker 2] A little. I got an internship with a designer in NY  this summer so I'm hoping that will help. What have you been up to? Any summer plans?

[Speaker 1] That's great! I hope it helps you get closer to your dream job in Paris. We're going to spend three weeks traveling out west and visiting national parks.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds like fun! Who are you going with? Just you and your dad?

[Speaker 1] Yup! It'll be the two of us, but we're hoping to visit some friends I have in Utah and Arizona along the way.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a great vacation! What do you guys do for food on these trips?

[Speaker 1] We'll be camping a lot, so I'm bringing my camping stove and we can buy food at the grocery store. I also like to try local restaurants along the way. Are you excited to spend the summer in NY?

[Speaker 2] I'm super excited! I hear the martini there are great too! What is your favorite drink?

[Speaker 1] Lately I've been really enjoying gin and tonics. They're so nice and refreshing after a hot day.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to try that. You had mentioned that your dad sells cars ... do you work with him?

[Speaker 1] I don't, but it's wonderful having a relative in the car business. I work at a boutique selling plus size fashion.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I've been having some trouble with my car lately. You know hoe bad I am at that stuff. Does your dad know a place I could take my car?

I am overweight. I eat too much food.

[Speaker 1] I got a really nice luxury tent. It's called a "glamping tent". It has almost everything besides plumbing.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! I've never seen one of those but if I were to go camping, that sounds like something I'd want to stay in! Have you planned out which restaurants you want to try while on your vacation?

[Speaker 1] There are a couple BBQ restaurants that we want to try out as well as an Italian restaurant. Are you getting ready for your internship?

[Speaker 2] Love BBQ and Italian food! Making me hungry now. Haha! Yes I am getting ready for my internship. So excited! I'm going shopping for some new clothes this weekend so I at least look professional. Hopefully this leads me to a full time position.

[Speaker 1] Where is your internship located? It would be awesome if you got a full time position in Paris!

[Speaker 2] It will be at Ralph Lauren in New York so I'm definitely feeling big time! I would love to be transferred to their Paris office if everything goes well. I think things are starting to look better for me! You'll have to come visit some time if I do make it Paris!

[Speaker 1] That is great! You will get your fill of apple martinis in New York for sure! I will come visit for sure if you end up in Paris! I bet they have amazing food!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure I will. I mean, I have to hob nob with all the important people! Haha! I'm so looking forward to all the different restaurants in Paris if I make it there. We'll have to make some reservations for all the best places to try!

[Speaker 1] We will! I wonder if they call French onion soup just onion soup in France. I would think so

[Speaker 1] I decided to try running in the morning, and I think I like it!

[Speaker 2] That's great, I love running too! Are you going to keep doing it?

[Speaker 1] I hope to continue running.  I can make the time in the morning.  I felt great.  It gives me another way to relieve stress.

[Speaker 2] It is a great way to relieve stress. I like to listen to audiobooks while I run, it makes it more fun and productive.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great.  I love audiobooks and podcasts too.  I don't like music very much.

[Speaker 2] I don't mind music, but I prefer audiobooks while I run. I never seem to find the time to sit down and read my books these days, so it works well for me.

[Speaker 1] It is a great way to catch up on reading.  I spend a lot of time reading anime, but I don't have time to read novels or non-fiction.  What genres do you like to read/listen to?

[Speaker 2] I prefer thrillers, but nothing too gruesome. Anime is cool, do you have a favorite?

[Speaker 1] I don't have a preference.   I enjoy all anime.  Do you like Stephen King?

[Speaker 2] I do, he is one of my favorite authors. That's cool that you like all anime. Do you dress up as a particular character for Comic Con?

I would like to meet Stan Lee. I can draw comics. I love to go to Comic Con in New York. I read anime to relieve stress. I don't have a favorite anime author.

I grew up in New Jersey.

I just started running in the morning. Running helps me manage stress.

I love audiobooks and podcasts. I don't like music.

I am too busy to read novels or non-fiction books.

My favorite city is New York.

I love steaks. My wife left me.

I love running. I run to relieve stress.

I am a lawyer. I am hard working.

I like to listen to audiobooks while I run.

I am too busy to read books. I like to listen to audiobooks in the thriller genre. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite Stephen King book?

[Speaker 2] I think it has to be a tie between Carrie and The Shining. They were actually the first ones I read and probably the one's most well known. Have you read any?

[Speaker 1] I love The Shining, tool. I also am a big fan of The Stand.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is a great one too! I really like post-apocalyptic novels as well. I may get the audiobook for that one on one of my runs! What was the last book you read or listened to?

[Speaker 1] I am reading The Midnight library right now. I saw it in an article I read recently and I am enjoying it so far. I'm just about halfway through. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I've never heard of it! What is it about because it sounds interesting? Im just re-listening to some books that I already finished!

[Speaker 1] It is about a woman who tries to commit suicide but before she passes away, she goes to "The Midnight Library" that contains books that shows how her life would have went if she would have made different choices in her life. It is really interesting.

[Speaker 2] Wait that actually sounds so cool! I may have to get it because you sold me on it. It already seems like it could be a movie! I've always had those same ideas of how different my life could be by just making different choices!

[Speaker 1] It is a super interesting concept to think about with life as a tree that has various branches and twigs based on every single decision you could make in your life. It does make you wonder how the smallest choices can lead to big differences in outcomes.

[Speaker 2] You are so right! Just imagine how our lives could be so different just based on where we grew up! We don't even have a choice in the matter but it affects us for the rest of our lives.

[Speaker 1] Yes, there are just so many factors that change how your life will end up. Even being born in the US seems like it would be a very chance occurrence given how small our population is versus the whole world's population.

[Speaker 2] I actually think about that everyday! By chance or fate it's all so random. What are the odds that I turned out to be a lawyer in the US when I could have just as much been a farmer in Europe or a Doctor in China. Makes you think about life.


I have been married for 6 years.

I like to go to the casino on weekends.

I'm a financial analyst for a brewery.

I have tried 35 different types of beer in my lifetime.

I live in the mountains.
I know how to pilot a plane.
My hobby is photography.
I'm a lawyer.
I do not own a television.

I found the person that I felt I wanted to spend my life with.

I enjoy gambling sometimes.

I study money at a bar.

I like to drink on the weekends.

My house is in a high altitude location.

I took flight classes.

I love taking pictures.

I've a masters degree.

I never watch tv.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today

[Speaker 2] I'm good, how are you? Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I go to the casino. Its a problem

[Speaker 2] Oh no! My hobbies are photography and flying planes,

[Speaker 1] Wow don't do them at the same time!

[Speaker 2] True lol, what do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I do financial analytics for a bar

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun, a lawyer here, I have been so busy I do not even own a tv

[Speaker 1] How many beers have you tried in your life?

[Speaker 2] Not many, I do not drink. So do you live in the city?

[Speaker 1] I have had over 35 different beers

[Speaker 2] Hope not at once! Do you like the mountains? That's where I live.

[Speaker 1] They seem nice. Are you married?

[Speaker 2] Yes iam, how about you?

I like to go to the casino.

I work at a bar doing financial analytics.

I like to drink beer.

I am a busy lawyer.

I do not drink.

I live in the Mountains.

I am married.

[Speaker 1] Sorry was doing some work for the bar, do you enjoy your job?

[Speaker 2] Oh, usually I really enjoy it, but some days clients can be annoying. You know what I mean?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it's tough dealing with annoying clients. I don't really work with people to often since I just do the finances. How do you find time for photography and flying while still practing law?

[Speaker 2] Well, I have to go from one city to the other for some of the court dates, so I usually just use my own private plane and bring my wife along. She is my copilot. We try to schedule everything so that we can leave either a day early or hours early. When we get to the place we need to be, we spend our extra time going around the area and taking pictures and trying out the local food. Then I go to work and she goes out to see if she can find anything interesting in local shops.

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds amazing! Is your wife a lawyer too?

[Speaker 2] No. She is a photographer. It is how we got together. I was taking photography as a fun elective class and it was her major. Anyway, sometimes we can find weddings that are happening around my court dates and she will go do photos for them. Or she does prom photos or engagement/prenatal photos.

[Speaker 1] That's amazing you guys seem to have an incredible life. My financial analytics job sounds so boring in comparison!! Oh, I've been meaning to ask what type of law you practice

[Speaker 2] I am sure that it cannot be too bad since you work at a bar and like beer! You had to like numbers to decide on that as a job. I know this may sound comical, as I am married to a woman that takes wedding photographs.... But, I am a divorce lawyer.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's hilarious! What a coincidence. Have you ever had a client that your wife did wedding photos for? That would make for quite the story

[Speaker 2] Actually yes. Her best friend had her do the wedding photos for her first marriage and second marriage. After about 2 years with the first guy, my wife began noticing bruises on her and eventually we talked her into getting away. It was pretty traumatic and one of the messier jobs I have taken, but the guy had plenty of money and got jail time after she spent 6 months refusing to leave him, while I was getting photos and taking statements for evidence until she finally decided to leave. So he wound up almost poor and in jail, and the new guy is amazing. We have dinner with them once a month! And we are the god parents of their baby

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry she had to go through that but I'm glad she's happy and safe now! Do you guys have any kids of your own?

[Speaker 2] My wife is unable to have kids. Which is fine with us because we travel so much! What about you? Do you have kids?

I like to go to the casino.

I like to drink beer.

I like photography and flying airplanes. I do not drink.

I live in the Mountains.

My wife is a photographer.

I am a busy divorce lawyer. I was the lawyer for my wife's best friend's divorce. I am godfather to her baby.

I do not have children.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever had a couple decide not to get divorced after meeting with ou?

[Speaker 2] I have! It actually happens quite often. Once a couple sees what the cost is to hire an attorney they sometimes will just stay married because they cannot afford an attorney.

[Speaker 1] Sounds pretty funny) How do you feel in such case?  They have to pay at least something for you time...

[Speaker 2] I offer a free 30 minute consult before accepting any new clients. It is usually just done over the phone. That way I don't waste too much of everyone's time if I know it won't work out.

[Speaker 1] That is very wise! How is your wife doing?

[Speaker 2] She is good. Today she is out taking photographs of the birds in the mountains. She likes going out all day taking photos. Do you ever go hiking or spend time in the mountains?

[Speaker 1] Not really. Do you like to go with her, when you have some spare time?

[Speaker 2] I do, we don't get cell reception in the mountains so it is the perfect get away for me when nobody can get ahold of me. We usually have a celebratory beer after our hikes. Do you recommend any good beers?

[Speaker 1] wow! It even sounds relaxing) Personally I  recommend  Heineken

[Speaker 2] We have tried Heineken a few times. I try to find some local craft beers where I can easily pick up a growler for the hike. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Oh, year, just thinking about that, the local craft beer is the best! Not bad, thanks

[Speaker 2] Do you work nights or days at the bar? And most important question, do you get free beer? That would be the ultimate work benefit.


My favorite season is duck hunting season.

I have never been on an airplane.

I like tailgate parties.

I had a girlfriend who eloped with my best friend one day.

I didn t go to college because I run the family farm.

I am an only child.
I've a pet lizard named gila.
I've brown eyes.
My favorite color is pruple.

I like the time of the year when I can shoot down waterfowl.

I have a fear of flying so I will not try.

I enjoy going to football games.

My girl betrayed me with a man who I thought I was friends with.

I work on the generational land.

I do not have any siblings.
I have a love of reptiles.
I've color on my face.
I like bright colors.

[Speaker 1] Hey there. How are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm perfect! My lizard is better.

[Speaker 1] You have a lizard? Awesome! I found a lizard on the farm yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! Her name is gila, sometimes I paint her toenails purple.

[Speaker 1] Gila is the name of my ex girlfriend... She eloped with my best friend, dan.

[Speaker 2] I am very sorry about that, do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 1] No. I run the family farm by myself.

[Speaker 2] I don't have siblings, so I know what it is like to be alone.

[Speaker 1] It sucks, but I have a lot of friends to go hunting and party with.

[Speaker 2] What color are your eyes? Mine are icky brown.

[Speaker 1] Blue, I guess. Brown is a good eye color.

[Speaker 2] I love green eyes, it is a good in between color.

[Speaker 1] Do you travel a lot?

[Speaker 2] I do! Perks of being the only kid

I have a ex girlfriend named Gila. My best friend is Dan.

I live alone on a farm with no siblings.

I have a lot of friends. I also like to hunt and party.

I have blue eyes.

I have a lizard named Gila.
My eyes are icky brown.
I like green eyes.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever had any other pets, or is that lizard your first pet? And where is the best place you have ever been travelling?

[Speaker 2] I had a pug before but it's too old and passed away when I was 21. Best place I've been travelled to is Barcelona - I love the city's vibe and the sun.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm so sorry about your pug! Barcelona sounds amazing. I would love to go one day. How'd the night life there? Good parties??

[Speaker 2] don't worries, it has been years ago.   Party life is maddddddd. I bet you would love it there and people are very sociable. I remember you told me about your ex, are you seeing someone at the moment?

[Speaker 1] I began talking to someone recently but then Gila reached out to me again and now I'm just confused about what to do. Any advice?

[Speaker 2] Every time you mentioned Glla I thought you talking about my lizard, haha.  My advice is to trust your gut feeling and seize the moment. If you still have feeling for her then go for it. If not just be honest with her.

[Speaker 1] Haha. I forgot your lizard was also named Gila! I should definitely be more specific next time! Are you seeing anyone at that moment?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I would like to focus on my career (and Gila the lizard).

[Speaker 1] Your career? What do you do?

[Speaker 2] don't think I've mentioned before but I am an eye surgeon

[Speaker 1] Oh wow Very nice. Do you have your own practice?

[Speaker 2] No, I am working in a private hospital at the moment but would love to have my own one day

I have blue eyes.

I have a lizard named Gila.

I had a pug that died. I have traveled to Barcelona.

I am an eye surgeon in a hospital.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever helped restore sight to a blind person?

[Speaker 2] I try my best in each case, but unfortunately it happens less often than I'd like

[Speaker 1] God bless you. I could never be a doctor. They say that it's a calling, not a choice, to become a doctor.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! So is being a hunter I heard. It requires a lot of patience

[Speaker 1] It sure is tough work, and it gets messy having to gut the animals and prepare them to eat. It's worth it, though, when I get to eat a deer that I hunted myself.

[Speaker 2] Hows your farm? Do you happen to have a lot of animals living there as well?

[Speaker 1] Right now, I don't have as many animals as usual. I have some chickens, pigs, and cows. I've been getting a better than average number of eggs from the chickens and milk from the cows, which should help me financially. Right now, it's just me and my friend Dan working on the farm, so we have our work cut out for us.

[Speaker 2] Nice! It's great being with animals. Although i have to say my favorite animal has to be a dog. I have a lizard but it's not the same as having a dog or even a cow

[Speaker 1] I also love dogs. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your pug, by the way. How are you handling that? It must be rough.

[Speaker 2] It's brutal, man. He was like family. Thanks for asking though. Maybe you can raise a few dogs to help with your hunting!

[Speaker 1] You're welcome. I hope you feel better and maybe someday get another dog you can love. You know, I've been thinking about breeding dogs, but I don't know much about it.

[Speaker 2] If you ever need help, I can always talk to my vet friend. he would know the safest way of going about that


I like to take cold showers.

I struggle with maintaining eye contact.

I sing in the shower.

My favorite video game is halo 3.

I am trying to build my online business.

I've a marketing job.

I also meditate a lot.

I am a vegan.

I love being with freezing water.

I feel awkward sometimes socially.

I like to test my voice while I clean off.

I spend a lot of time watching tv.

I am working on my internet career.

I just got a promotion.

I enjoy peaceful sitting.

I do not eat animals or any animal products.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried halo 3?

[Speaker 2] No I've not. Not really a gamer.

[Speaker 1] Too bad. I just got a brute prowler I wanted to show you.

[Speaker 2] Sounds cool I don't have a lot of free time.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I get all the songs stuck in my head. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] What songs do you get stuck?

[Speaker 1] Out of shadow, one final effort, sounds good humming and singing in the shower

[Speaker 2] Have my own online business in marketing. What band?

[Speaker 1] I bought the halo 3 soundtrack. What do you market?

[Speaker 2] All sorts of things. Do you meditate?

[Speaker 1] Some times I freeze in the cold water when I shower but that is about it.

[Speaker 2] Sorry I do not get that. Lol.

[Speaker 1] Cold showers make me feel as though time stops. Sort of like meditating right?

[Speaker 2] Yes I guess. Time does not exist. Meditation helps with that.

I play video games.
I like music.
I'm not sure what meditating is like.

I don't play video games.

I am very busy.

[Speaker 1] Hows business going? Hope it's going well. Any new customers?

[Speaker 2] It's going great! We just signed a pro hockey team to handle their marketing going forward. Did you manage to find a PS5?

[Speaker 1] A pro hockey time, ho exciting!! No, I'm still looking for one that's not too expensive. I love playing, but my bank account doesn't love it quite as much as I do!!

[Speaker 2] Totally understandable, I heard scalpers are selling them for double the list price. It's best to just wait to find one at retail. What type of music have you been listening to lately?

[Speaker 1] Yea, I'll just wait for a bit. I recently got into country music. My sister introduced me to some great songs. Do you enjoy music?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, when I have time I try to get to some concerts and festivals. There's a 4-day country music festival near where I live, it gets quite wild as you can imagine.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds like a lot of fun! I've been wanting to go to a music festival. Maybe we can both attend the one near your home. Were you planning on going?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, at the very least it's a good opportunity to have a few drinks and people-watch. I can't wait for the summer!

[Speaker 1] Do you have any other summer plans? Or will you be busy with work/

[Speaker 2] I'll likely be busy with work for the most part, but just being able to enjoy warmer weather for a few months will be a welcome change. I'll try to ride a bike most days and get exercise. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm not much of a biker but would love to look into meditating. I've been meaning to for so long. Do you meditate at all?

[Speaker 2] I heard there's great benefits, but no I have not tried it either. I could see myself getting into it if things get really stressful.

I play video games.

I'm not sure what meditating is like. I'm interested in meditation.

I want a PS5. I like hockey.

I like country music. I have a sister.

I don't ride bikes.

I don't play video games.

I am very busy. I have my own marketing business and I do all types of marketing.

I like going to concerts and festivals. I like summer.

I bike ride for exercise. I will be working during the summer.

I have not tried meditating.

[Speaker 1] I found a new festival nearby I want to check out!

[Speaker 2] For real? What kind of festival is it? I may be interested in going.

[Speaker 1] It is called the rock and byte world tour. They have arcade machines and bands from the 80's performing on stage. What a combo eh?

[Speaker 2] That's sounds very interesting. I don't really play video games, but there is something about arcade games and 80s music that is nostalgic, so I wouldn't mind going. I use to go to arcades with my friends when I was in middle school; this could be a way to recapture that magic.

[Speaker 1] Yeah the arcade era was the best era in gaming. Nothing like a bunch of young thugs in a smoked out arcade gambling on Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It will be at the end of the summer, do you think you can fit it in your schedule?

[Speaker 2] Summer is usually busy with marketing, but I may be able to squeeze in time for a festival. Hard work/no play makes jack a dull boy, so a break will be a good thing for me. What's your favorite festival you have been to?

[Speaker 1] I agree you need to treat yourself from time to time. I really enjoy warped tour and Lollapalooza. The prices keep going up every year though, sadly.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I have never been to those. I really want to go to Bonnaroo; there are so many good groups that are playing there this year. Unfortunately, it's on a weekend when I will be really busy. Will your sister be joining you at the festival?

[Speaker 1] No my sister is going to be starting nursing school soon so she needs to buckle down for a while. I have never been to Bonnaroo. What are your favorite bands?

[Speaker 2] Oh okay. I love Father John Misty, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The War on Drugs, The National, Sufjan Stevens, and too many others to list. I have an eclectic taste. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I have never heard of any of those bands... I like the bands Delta Sleep, Wolf and Bear, The Blood Brothers, Dance Gavin Dance, Anti-Flag... uhh and a lot more .

[Speaker 2] That's funny. I have never heard of those bands either. Looks like we have some new things to share with one another. I think this friendship could be really special!

[Speaker 1] Hello, how is your day so far?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good, how is yours?

[Speaker 1] Doing great. Just finished dropping the children off at swim practice.

[Speaker 2] I don't have any yet. I just got hired at goodly as a software engineer.

[Speaker 1] Cool beans. I work as meeting coordination for goodly... What branch you operate from?

[Speaker 2] I am in maine. I get to eat my favorite seafood lobster a lot.

[Speaker 1] Ok. I'm upstate myself in schenectady, ny

[Speaker 2] I started as an stern there last year. They finally hired me full time.

[Speaker 1] Tell me who has the best mail order lobster there?

[Speaker 2] I think winter harbour has the best.

[Speaker 1] I'll check it out. My husband and I are always in for a road trip.

[Speaker 2] You should. I just love seafood.

I have children.

I am a meeting coordinator for Goodly.

I live in New York.

I love to take road trips. I am married to a man.

I do not have children. I am a software engineer.

My favorite seafood in lobster. I work in Maine. I was recently hired.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, how are you enjoying your new job?

[Speaker 2] It is pretty exciting actually. I get to do a lot of stuff with some of the better known video games! I love the testing stages the best. How are your wife and kids? How many kids do you have?

[Speaker 1] My partner and kids are doing great. We have two kids, and are planning another road trip for next month. Could you recommend a good non-violent video game for our games?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! Mario party on the Wii and Wii resort are both great! If you wanted to go with something like playstation, I would go with something like Burnout which is a great racing game. If you need something that can travel with you, Harvest moon on Nintendo DS would be a good onen

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the recommendations! I have such little knowledge about this stuff. How much does a nintendo DS go for?

[Speaker 2] They are an older system. You can usually find a good used one at a resale game shop for $30 if you need cheap. A new one might be harder to find unless you get the latest model, but you are looking at $100 plus depending on what model you are looking at.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that does sound expensive. And I would have to get one for each child right? I'm assuming that it's only one player at a time?

[Speaker 2] Yes. One for each. But like I said, used game shops usually have them pretty cheap. And you can find most of the harvest moon games for under $10 used

[Speaker 1] Great! Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. Do you personally own a gaming system?

[Speaker 2] I own many. I have an Atari, a Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo 64, NES, Gameboy Advance, DS Lite, Switch, Wii, and PSP. I also do gaming on my phone, tablet, and my three computers. I have 2 laptops and a gaming desktop.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Maybe I should get one so I can play with the kids! What would you recommend for a beginner that doesn't have any experience?

[Speaker 2] The Wii is a good one to start out with, and with kids. You have to stand to play. On Wii resort, you can do bowling and frisbee golf, so you are up moving not just sitting. That is great for kids, instead of becoming restless from sitting still so long, they get a workout and burn energy while enjoying the gaming system.

I am a meeting coordinator for Goodly.

I live in New York.

I love to take road trips.

I have a husband and children.

I am not experienced with video games. I am a beginner learning about video games.

I do not have children.

My favorite seafood in lobster.

I am a software engineer. I work in Maine. I was recently hired. I like testing stages of video games. I like video games. I know the prices of video game hardware.

I game using my consoles, phone, laptops and desktop PC.

[Speaker 1] I went to the Mall and bought a Wii

[Speaker 2] Cool! Did you get any fun games for it? I used to play Wii Sports all the time.

[Speaker 1] No not yet, I have no idea what games to get for it! Any recommendations? I'm really excited to play.

[Speaker 2] I usually like to play active games like Wii Sports or there were some dancing games where you follow the movements of the character on the screen. I thought those were fun, and they doubled as exercise!

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, yes that sounds so fun! I'll have to get those type of games for it, thanks! My children will also be excited about it and can probably help me with it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I bet they have some ideas about games they want already, too! Are your kids interested in video games?

[Speaker 1] My two sons are into video games a lot! My daughter not as much but will play here and there with the boys. Lol. I'm sure she would love the Wii though.

[Speaker 2] I hope so! Do you think your kids would be interested in game design? Computer programming is a huge developing area for jobs! Depending on how old they are of course - it might be too early to know what they want to do

[Speaker 1] My oldest is 14 and the other one is 11. I'm not sure if that's too young or not but i'm sure the oldest would be very interested.

[Speaker 2] it's never too early to start! are they excited for it to almost be summer break? I can't wait to go to the beach

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, absolutely! Myself as well, I need the beach in my life ASAP!

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite thing to do at the beach?


I grew up homeschooled.

I take my emotions out through art.

I sometimes need to scream to feel alive.

I have a hard time feeling connected with people.

I live in a house with a yard.

Since my dog died I m incomplete.

I m a mom with two sons and a husband.

I'm an artist and create with my mind and my hands.

I didn't have many friends in high school.

My self expression is typically through painting.

Shouting is exciting.

It is difficult for me to connect to others.

I have my own home with lots of trees around it.

I've suffered a loss recently.

I have several boys and a man.

I turn things into art.

[Speaker 1] Hello, do you like to paint?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I'm an artist. I paint with my mind and my hands.

[Speaker 1] I do scream therapy with my art, it is so hard to connect with people.

[Speaker 2] We buried my dog in the yard next to my house.

[Speaker 1] Mine all get buried under the same tree. It is a mini cemetery under there,

[Speaker 2] I've been incomplete since then. Luckily I've my husband.

[Speaker 1] I've two dogs now, they're better than most people.

[Speaker 2] Not better than my two sons. Meet me outside how about that?

[Speaker 1] Do you homeschool your boys? I was homeschooled.

[Speaker 2] They school themselves. I created them with my mind and my hands.

[Speaker 1] Sounds exciting and a little creepy at the same time.

[Speaker 2] You want creepy? I sleep outside next to my dead dog.

[Speaker 1] Nothing wrong with that, who hasn't spent the night in a cemetery.

[Speaker 2] I lay in cemeteries to create with my mind and my hands.

I do scream therapy.

My dogs are all buried under the same tree. I have two dogs.

I was homeschooled.

I am an artist. I like to paint.

I have a husband and two sons. My sons school themselves.

I sleep outside next to my dead dog.

[Speaker 1] My dogs have been quite rowdy today. They keep barking at each other.

[Speaker 2] What do you think has got them acting up? My boys always got feisty before we got a bad storm.

[Speaker 1] I think the neighborhood kids are being to noisy playing football next door. What did you do to calm your dogs down?

[Speaker 2] Took them on a run or tossed the ball around until they got tired out. Blueberries worked too, a few blueberries in their water bowl and they thought they were getting a big treat and calmed right down.

[Speaker 1] Ha. Tiring them out like you do kids is a good idea. I never heard of the blueberry trick, but that is something I will have to try. Did your sons help tire the dogs out when they were not doing schoolwork?

[Speaker 2] Kirby, that's my little terrier that passed away a few months ago, he loved the boys and they loved to play with him. But Lasso, our husky that we had for a bit, he just sort of looked at the boys and then walked off, didn't want anything to do with them. Dogs are funny that way I guess. Do your pups like the kids around your street or are they scared of them?

[Speaker 1] For the most part my dogs like the kids right next door. However, when there are kids from other houses around they are very timid. They are really nervous around strangers, so we do not take them to dog parks often. Did you doggies like to go to the local dog parks?

[Speaker 2] We don't have parks around here really, since most of the houses have so much land. Our house and my little studio sits on four acres, lots of room for the dogs and the kids and the chickens.

[Speaker 1] Oh, you are so lucky. I wish we had more land around here. What kind of studio do you have? Is it an art studio? I love meeting local artists.

[Speaker 2] I do pottery so we took an old work shed and put a little kiln in there and some tables and things. I will have to show you some of my work sometime! I didn't realize you were an art lover.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool. We have gone to the paint your own pottery places before and it is so much fun. It is so amazing how something simple like clay can be turned into amazing pieces of art. I would love to see your work. Do you have any on display anywhere?

[Speaker 2] The local florist puts some of my stuff in her shop and people buy them as little presents. Pottery is great and so therapeutic. It really puts your mind at peace taking the clay in your hands and focusing everything on making it take shape. You should see if anyone near you gives lessons, you might really love doing it on a more serious basis.

I do scream therapy.

I was homeschooled.

I have kids as neighbors.

I love to meet local artists.

I have gone to the paint your own pottery places before.

I am an artist. I like to paint. I do pottery. I give my pottery work to the local florist.

My dog is buried in the yard next to my house. I sleep outside next to my dead dog.

I have male terrier named Kirby and a male husky named Lasso.

I don't have parks near my house. I have a house and little studio that sits on four acres. I have chickens.

[Speaker 1] Have you done any interesting pottery work recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, as a matter of fact. I'm working on a large vase for one of my florist's customers.

[Speaker 1] That sounds lovely! Do you ever donate your pottery for charity events?

[Speaker 2] I do when my schedule allows. Do you have any particular causes in mind?

[Speaker 1] I always try to donate my time and money to the animal shelters in town. They are always looking for funds or time from volunteers.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful! I'll have to look into doing some work on their behalf. Maybe I can make some animal figurines.

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea. I bet people would pay a good amount of money to have a figurine that looks like their pet.

[Speaker 2] Exactly! It could be quite lucrative for the shelters. Have you thought about actually making your own pottery?

[Speaker 1] I've thought about it but I don't know if I would have the patience for it. I know some people make pottery for therapeutic reasons but I prefer to scream and smash things.

[Speaker 2] Haha that's hardcore! Some potters are pretty intense people. They work with heavy metal playing in the background!

[Speaker 1] I could probably get into that. Or creating something just to smash it, that is more my style.

[Speaker 2] Whatever it takes, I guess! Having an outlet for your energy is important, I guess.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. What's the weather like for you today? I've been enjoying some time outside as well.

[Speaker 2] We definitely have snow on the ground, but the sun is shining and the wind chill isn't too bad.  Perfect football weather!  How were you spending your time outside?

[Speaker 1] I love going outside when the sun is shining. I've been going sledding lately since there has been a lot of snow here. I might even try some extreme sports like snowboarding. Have you ever gone before?

[Speaker 2] Sadly, I have not been snowboarding before.  It certainly seems exciting!  What about it appeals to you?

[Speaker 1] Definitely the speed. It seems like it would be such an adrenaline rush! I guess you still like your calm outdoor activities?

[Speaker 2] Haha I don't know if I would call football and hockey calm outdoor activities...I've definitely had my share of injuries from both of them!  Speaking of calm activities, I've been looking for some new music recommendations...who are some of your favorite country artists?

[Speaker 1] Then we should definitely go snowboarding sometime! I didn't realize what a thrill seeker you were. I love Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood. Who do you enjoy listening to?

[Speaker 2] In terms of country music, I'm a fan of Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, and Martina McBride.

[Speaker 1] I've never heard of Martina McBride before. Does she have any hit songs I'd recognize?

[Speaker 2] Some of her more popular hits have been "Concrete Angel," "This One's for the Girls," and "My Baby Loves Me."  She hasn't released any new music in a while though.

[Speaker 2] I don't play anymore. I got hurt in high school and had to stop.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. Are you able to play any sports or do outdoor activities? I had a great winter this year. I went snowboarding many times with my buddies.

[Speaker 2] I just have to be careful if I do something like go skiing.

[Speaker 1] Oh so you do ski. That's awesome! Do you ever go sledding? I did a lot of that this winter, too.

[Speaker 2] Not really. We don't have a good hill to go to where we won't be kicked out.

[Speaker 1] I hate that! I've been kicked out of some great sledding spots and it's a shame since the hills were epic. On another note, have you seen any good movies lately? I just watched "Casino" and "Donnie Brasco" again. They are some of my favorite organized crime movies ever.

[Speaker 2] I haven't gone out to a movie since Avengers: Endgame came out. I don't like the theater environment and it's too expensive.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I haven't been to a movie theater in ages. "Avengers: Endgame" was fantastic, though. I would like to go to a live country music concert soon.

[Speaker 2] I can't remember the last time I went to a concert. Maybe in the 2000s.

[Speaker 1] Which artist did you see? The last concert I went to was a Carrie Underwood concert in 2019.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, I can bring the best chocolate around next time and we play some video games

[Speaker 1] sounds good, which video games are you playing these days?

[Speaker 1] it's awesome the graphics are so realistic! it's like you're watching a real game

[Speaker 2] That sounds sweet I have heard cyberpunk is the same way I am so eager to try it!

[Speaker 1] it's amazing how good video games and movie graphics have gotten recently. I saw the new King Kong/Godzilla movie and it was crazy how real it looked

[Speaker 2] I know right technology is so cool and I have been wanting to see that I heard it is good!

[Speaker 1] it's pretty epic. I haven't seen any of the older movies for either monster, but this one is great if you like action movies!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I do and I am sure I would love it if you did

[Speaker 1] what are some of your favorite movies? I've been looking for stuff to watch

[Speaker 2] My real passion is animal rights. Are you familiar with vegetarianism

[Speaker 1] Yes, I love animals, I even has a pet fish in my pong.

[Speaker 2] I do not like fish so much. You can not have a bond with a fish.

[Speaker 1] I also am in to gardening, I'm currently learning how to do that.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I did some gardening to do some extra money last summer.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I make extra money playing gigs after my day job.

[Speaker 2] Is it enough to support yourself?

[Speaker 1] It helps, but most my income comes from being an accountant.

I have an accounting degree.

I am passionate about music.

I have a pet fish.

I enjoy gardening.

I have a second job playing gigs.

I got accepted into UC Santa Cruz.
I plan to study computer science.
I am passionate about animal rights.

[Speaker 1] What interests you about computer science?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy learning how things work and why they function the way the do. Do you enjoy being an accountant?

[Speaker 1] It can be boring at times only working with numbers. But I don't mind it. Have you found a job in computer science yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, need to get my degree first, going to UC Santa Cruz should be fun though. I bet you prefer doing your gigs right? they must be a lot of fun what kind of music do you play?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I enjoy the nightlife much better. I play in a rock band. We've been together since highschool so it's a lot of fun. Maybe if i'm lucky I can do it full time some day! Have you been going out to the bars much lately?

[Speaker 2] I love rock music! Its good to have ambitions for the future. Yeah I have been exploring the area lately some cool little spots around which is nice. Who is your favorite rock band?

[Speaker 1] That's great. It's good not to study too hard and to enjoy your college life. I love the classics like Queen. Do you enjoy rock music?

[Speaker 2] Yes very much so! Queen are one of the best! Do you get to go out much between work and your gigs?

[Speaker 1] Not too often but I have been taking some Spanish lessons down at the community center. Maybe I'm too old but it's very difficult to study. Any tips on how to study for an old dog like me?

[Speaker 2] Your only as old as you feel! Languages are definitely tough! Good on you for wanting to learn one though, don't think i could manage it, practice is probably the best thing. What made you choose spanish?

[Speaker 1] That's true, I should find some Spanish speaking friends to practice with. I would like to learn it for my upcoming trip to Cancun. It would be great to speak with the locals.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds great! Do you travel a lot?

I have an accounting degree. Most of my income is from being an account.

I have a pet fish.

I enjoy gardening.

I think accounting is boring at times. I enjoy nightlife. I play in a rock band. I have a second job playing gigs. I want to become a professional musician.

I love the band Queen.

I take Spanish lessons. I am traveling to Cancun in the near future.

I am passionate about animal rights.

I enjoy learning how things work and why they function the way they do.

I love rock music. Queen is one of their favorite bands.

[Speaker 1] I asked one of my classmates in Spanish if they would want to study together this weekend, so I'm hoping working with someone else will make it a little easier.

[Speaker 2] Good luck! I've always had a hard time learning languages. I studied French in high school but I'm not very good. I bet going to Cancun will help your Spanish a lot!

[Speaker 1] I hope so! Did you ever get to practice your French outside of school?

[Speaker 2] no, unfortunately I have never travelled out of the country. Luckily they speak English most places so I think I'll be okay if and when I do travel. Has your band toured in any cool places?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, we mostly just play at local places. I hope to tour full time at some point but I still need my regular job to pay the bills. Are you excited to start school soon?

[Speaker 2] yeah! I can't wait it'll be so much fun! I'm more excited to start the parties and moving away from my parents than the actual school part though lol

[Speaker 1] Oh that's the best part of school! They will have great rock concerts close to your school too, you will have to check some out!

[Speaker 2] I will! do you have any recommendations for venues or bands to look out for?

[Speaker 1] I have a son and a daughter. I do not play hockey myself, but my son plays for his high school team. Most weekends we are watching him play.

[Speaker 2] I love to watch it, but it's not really that big in Texas. Except for the Dallas Stars. Texas is big on Football, though. It's not just about cows, desert, and cactus.

[Speaker 1] So are the Dallas Stars your favorite hockey team then?

[Speaker 2] It one of the only ones I'm familiar with, except the Pittsburg Penguins. But only because I have a friend who lives near there. He's a big hockey fan, and the one who originally introduced me to hockey). I grew up in Texas (known as football country!) but after seeing my first hockey game, I was hooked on the sport.

[Speaker 1] There is so much to love about it. The ice, the fights, the celebrations! I am a big fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but my favorite American team is the Chicago Blackhawks. I have family that lives in Chicago now and it is our yearly tradition to go to a Blackhawks game together.

[Speaker 2] One of the first things my friend taught me .. "Hockey is the boring stuff you watch between the fights!" lol I spent all my high school years in Marching Band, going to football games (again, our Texas Friday Night ritual), but never really learned to love football. As an adult, after being introduced to hockey, I was converted. My son plays soccer and my daughter played basketball, but hockey is still my favorite.

[Speaker 1] That's right! I also enjoy watching american baseball.

I like pudding.

I have 2 kids, 1 son and 1 daughter. I live in Canada. My son plays Hockey for his high school team.

[Speaker 2] Oh amazing, he must be so happy! Does your daughter play any sports?

[Speaker 1] Yes she plays softball but is not really sure if she likes it

[Speaker 2] Oh no, has she thought of any other sports she'd like to maybe try instead?

[Speaker 1] No she is unsure if sports are for her but that is so cool your daughter plays basketball how does she like it?

[Speaker 2] Yeah she really loves it actually, she enjoys spending time with all of her friends who play it as well, I think that is a big part of the appeal for her!

[Speaker 1] That is good and makes sense I used to feel the same way when I was younger so when did you get into hockey?

[Speaker 2] It was my husband who got me into it, he is a huge hockey fan so I started going to games with him. Do you go to many hockey games or do you just watch on tv?

[Speaker 1] That is so cool and I have been to lots of hockey games in my life but I also like to watch them at home!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, sometimes it's nice to chill at home and watch them on your own comfy couch! I don't watch much baseball though like you do, maybe I should start!

[Speaker 1] Yea baseball is great however it can be slow at times which is why most dont like to watch it that much

[Speaker 2] Yeah I guess, the few times I have tried to watch it I have gotten a little bored. Maybe that's a sport that's better to see in person?
