[Speaker 1] Hey there! How are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] I am not doing too good. You?

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that, I am pretty well just got back from a run.

[Speaker 2] I lost my job recently and having a hard time finding something.

[Speaker 1] That can be hard. I am in my first year at college with a part time job.

[Speaker 2] That's cool I guess, do you have a significant other

[Speaker 1] No single, what kind of work are you looking for?

[Speaker 2] I do not know, lately I've been so sad, I think I need some help

[Speaker 1] I'm sure that are some pretty good clinics in your area

[Speaker 2] Who knows. I told my parents I was bi and I hate my life

[Speaker 1] Do you have an animal. I've a cat that helps me when I'm sad.

[Speaker 2] No, I live with my mom and dad, they will never allow it

[Speaker 1] Maybe talk with a friend.

[Speaker 2] All my friends think being bi is a disease, I hate them

I like to run.

I am in my first year of college. I have a part time job.

I am single.

I have a cat.

I am sad. I think I might need help.

I am bi. I hate my life.

I live with my parents.

I hate my friends.

[Speaker 1] I looked up a clinic for you. Here is the number.

[Speaker 2] Thank you. How was work?

[Speaker 1] Good. How are your parents doing?

[Speaker 2] My parents are doing well. Its nice to spend time with them away from my friends.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. Have you had any luck finding a new job?

[Speaker 2] I was looking for one today. I even applied to work at an ice cream place. Where do you work?

[Speaker 1] I work at a coffee shop part-time while I go to college.

[Speaker 2] I wish I could go to college. I can't afford it yet. WHat do you study?

[Speaker 1] Veterinary studies, because I love animals. I have a cat named Isabelle. By the way, have things improved with your boyfriend?

[Speaker 2] I love cats. No, I don't think it will work out. He gets upset about be liking guys and girls.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry, that is really unfortunate. Have you made any new friends lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I have a hard time getting out. Maybe if I got that job I could get out and meet people.

I like to run.

I am in my first year of college. studying to be a vet I have a part time job at a coffee shop.

I am single.

I have a cat named Isabelle.

I lost my job. I haven't found a new job. I am currently looking for work. I am not in college.

I am bi. I hate my life.

I live with my parents.

I hate my friends.

My boyfriend and I are having troubles.

I haven't made any new friends lately.

[Speaker 1] Any luck in the job search yet?

[Speaker 2] There are a lot good jobs that I've seen and applied for but I haven't heard anything back yet.  The problem is, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be living with my boyfriend so I may have to be looking for a job in a different area soon!

[Speaker 1] Oh really? sounds like you guys have been having issues for a while so it's probably best to get out and get a fresh start. where are you looking to move to?

[Speaker 2] Well we're both currently living with my parents but he gets along with them much better than I do so I'll probably move closer to the city, which is about 30 minutes away.  Although I doubt I'll find any good options for a roommate so I'm just not sure.

[Speaker 1] I actually have a spare room if you are interested. you can come over and see the place and we can talk details some time if you want to.

[Speaker 2] I appreciate the offer! Isabelle won't mind me taking up her space, will she?

[Speaker 1] she may be grumpy at first but she warms up pretty quickly. just let me know what day you'd like to come by.

[Speaker 2] These days I'm pretty much always available! So I'll stop by tomorrow if that is OK, I'd like to get out, FAST.  Do you think the coffee shop has any opening for full time work?

[Speaker 1] sounds good. I will talk to my boss. I think I can get you a job working there. do you have any experience?

[Speaker 2] I have no experience at all.  My last job was answering phones at a call center and I hated it.  Maybe I should study to be a vet like you, that way I don't have to talk to many people anymore, just animals!

[Speaker 1] well I'm sure we can find an entry level position for you. I'll talk to him later today and let you know. and vet school is hard. you have to be very dedicated to get through it.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for asking for me.  Yeah I know you work super hard to get through school.  I don't think not liking most people is good enough incentive to become a vet, haha! I just need to figure out my darn life.  How is vet school going?


I actually enjoy studying.

I enjoy dancing in a crowd.

All of my relatives have a lengthy stature.

I enjoy running.

I am quite big.

I like being away from the city.
I've an amazing garden.
My generation saw the world war.

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

[Speaker 2] I am great today. How are you?

[Speaker 1] Good, about to leave school for dance practice. Do you have any plans?

[Speaker 2] I have plans to go to a festival. Do you like live music?

[Speaker 1] As long as it is music my friends and I can dance to!

[Speaker 2] That is awesome. Do you have alot of friends at your school?

[Speaker 1] I do. I met a lot of them while out running after school. And you?

[Speaker 2] I've some friends at school and and a lot of friends in my neighborhood too.

[Speaker 1] That is great. Are any of your friends or family very tall?

[Speaker 2] Yes actually they're and I'm the shortest of the bunch. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Oh ok got to check that out

[Speaker 2] No problem, its great for keeping track of projects etc

[Speaker 1] Wow. Sounds fancy. Does it cost a lot

I live in a small city. I am a gardener.

I crochet and cook.

I knit sweaters.

I am on a knitting group named revelry.

[Speaker 1] I've taught my kids how to crochet.

[Speaker 2] That's great, how long did it take to teach them.

[Speaker 1] It didn't take too long, actually. They caught on pretty quickly even with 5 cats distracting them.  What kids of  projects are you working in with Revelry?

[Speaker 2] I am working on all sorts of project.  Right now I'm building a new house for the cat

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. Do your cat and dog get along?

[Speaker 2] Not in the beginning, but now they are doing better.  How's the gardening project?

[Speaker 1] It's on hold for now.  The heat here has been oppressive lately.  How's the weather in your city been?

[Speaker 2] It is suprisingly warm for this time of year. I am able to take my kids out to the park often

[Speaker 1] That's very nice.  We have a park down the street from us my husband and i like to walk to just to get out.  It's lovely.

[Speaker 2] Walks are always nice. what else do you do for fun

[Speaker 1] Lately the kids have had alot of extracurricular activities going on, so not too  much other than that.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] Have you finished building your cat's house yet?

[Speaker 2] Almost, it's starting to look really good, I hope he uses it!

[Speaker 1] Cats can be mercurial he might not take to it right away, but so long as it has stuff he likes in it then I'm sure he'll start using it eventually.

[Speaker 2] I'm knitting him some new blankets to go inside as well, make it nice and cosy for him! How are all of your cats getting on?

[Speaker 1] They're doing pretty well. Lazing about during the day and sneaking around at night like always. Do you let your cat outdoors much?

[Speaker 2] He does come out into my little garden when I'm out gardening, but he's much more of a indoor cat, he likes to laze around in the day as well like yours!

[Speaker 1] Guess that's just a trait all cats have. Even my most energetic cat is still content to snooze most of the day away.

[Speaker 2] Lucky them, I'd love to be able to do that! Have you got any new crochet projects you're thinking of starting?

[Speaker 1] I've got an idea or two, but I'm having trouble finding the time. I probably wouldn't be cut out for that knitting group of yours.

[Speaker 2] Oh it's very laid back, there is such a wide range of people on there, sharing projects for everyone. But it's fun to find these things yourself as well.

[Speaker 1] I bet. I'm sure having a group to talk and share ideas with also helps motivates to start and actually finish projects.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's like having a bit more of a reason to finish it, getting to show it to a group of people who will appreciate what you have done!

I'm young.

[Speaker 1] Hey there how are you?

[Speaker 2] I am good, just enjoying my favourite spaghetti and meatballs.

[Speaker 1] I am getting ready to go to work, I am so glad I work in the store.

[Speaker 2] When I grow up I hope to work as a football player

[Speaker 1] Those items are on sale at my job this week. I do not eat meat.

[Speaker 2] I do not have money to buy them as I am only in elementary school

[Speaker 1] Oh you are a kid, make sure you do some type of volunteer work also.

[Speaker 2] Yes I am a kid, and I love one direction. Do you?

[Speaker 1] I figured that lol, come volunteer at the urban farm with your parents.

[Speaker 2] My mom is always busy training. She's a professional tennis player.

[Speaker 1] No I like doing other things like bookkeeping an tours.

[Speaker 2] You should listen to them. They're good. What else do you like?

[Speaker 1] Cool, I'm sure she would enjoy my diet then.

[Speaker 2] What is your diet? No spaghetti?

[Speaker 1] Not much else really, working at the grocery an the tours keep me busy.

[Speaker 2] School keeps me busy. And football!

I am an elementary school student.

I play football. I want to be a football player.

I like the band one direction.

My mother is a professional tennis player.

[Speaker 1] How long have you been playing football?

[Speaker 2] I've been playing since I was in first grade. I'm in fourth grade now.

[Speaker 1] You mom is a pro tennis player, what is her name?

[Speaker 2] Her name is Maria. She's really good! I want to be an athlete too when I grow up.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice, good luck - keep working hard.  What position do you play in football?

[Speaker 2] It depends on the day but I like to be the quarterback. It's really fun when you get to kick the ball too. Do you play a sport?

[Speaker 1] I play golf and like to go fishing.  Do you play tackle or flag football?

[Speaker 2] Tackle football after school but when we play in gym class it's flag football. I like both of them but tackle football is what the professionals play. I haven't gone fishing before, isn't it boring?

[Speaker 1] Fishing isn't boring when the fish are biting - LOL!  On slow days, it can be pretty boring, to some extent.  What is your favorite school subject?

I have a job at a store.
I don't eat meat.
I like bookkeeping and tours.
I play golf and goes fishing.
I go to school too.

I am an elementary school student.

I play football, quarterback position. I want to be a football player.

I like the band one direction.

I play tackle and flag football too.

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about football, is it something you see a future in or is it something that you are passing time with?

[Speaker 2] I think football will always be a part of my life in some form or another. I'm hoping to get a football scholarship to a Division I college. My dream is to get drafted by the NFL as a quarterback. If those dreams don't come true for me, I'd like to coach high school football. Do you ever watch any football?

[Speaker 1] That's really cool, I do watch football sometimes, at least enough to know how important the quarterback position is.  So can you throw the ball really well? Or are you more of a runner?

[Speaker 2] As a QB, I do more throwing than running, but I'm pretty fast on my feet. I need to work on my dexterity, though. I might even take some dance lessons so I can learn how to be more aware of my body. Do you like to dance?

[Speaker 1] Interesting, you think that dancing will be more beneficial than just spending more time practicing football? Or is it because the variety would be fun?  Personally, I hate dancing and the only thing I've ever done that involves any sort of coordination is golf.  I enjoy the slower pace of golfing more than other sports.

[Speaker 2] I've heard from quite a few people that dance lessons, especially ballet, are really beneficial for athletes. Plus, the variety would definitely be fun, too! I've never golfed before. I know a little bit about it because my dad enjoys golfing. I like to drive the cart! Haha! How long have you been golfing?

[Speaker 1] I've been golfing for around five years now, ever since my dad took me out for the first time.  It's been a really great hobby for me, you should try it sometime!

[Speaker 2] I might do that! My dad has an extra set of clubs that I'm sure I could borrow. Do you get to golf with your dad a lot? I think it would be really cool to have a sport that my dad and I could play together.

[Speaker 1] We go sometimes after work, but I mostly like golfing alone.  It is nice to sometimes have a person to talk to, but it's also nice to be alone outdoors.  You should totally try it out with your dad sometime, you're pretty athletic and might be good at it!

[Speaker 2] I'm going to give my dad a call later and see if he can go out next week. I do enjoy being outdoors in the sun and fresh air. Do you have any other outdoor activities you enjoy?

[Speaker 1] I also like fishing! And if your dad doesn't want to go just give me a text, I would be happy to golf with you!

[Speaker 2] That would be really fun! I'd love to get some tips along the way. I need to learn the terminology, too. Like, what's a bogey? Haha!

I love taking pictures.

My house is in a high altitude location.

I never watch tv.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hello, I'm doing well, I can pilot a plane!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I only work in a factory. Wheres your favorite city to fly to?

[Speaker 2] That is cool, I don't fly far because I live in up in the mountains.

[Speaker 1] Oh, if I could fly I'd fly to seattle my favorite city

[Speaker 2] That would be nice, I use flying to feed my hobby which is photography.

[Speaker 1] How fun! You like jazz music?? I love it

[Speaker 2] I do! I listen to the radio because I don't have a television.

[Speaker 1] Wow!! I do not have a car and ride my bike everywhere, but I do have a tv

[Speaker 2] That is cool. Well I have to get off here soon. Is there anything else?

[Speaker 1] Me too. I did break my nose when I was 10 from a bike accident, but yeah

[Speaker 2] That's crazy hope you okay now!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I get practise riding everywhere now

[Speaker 2] That's nice I fell on a fire place and broke my nose when I was 4

I work in a factory.

Seattle is my favorite city.

I love jazz music.

I have a TV. I do not have a car. I have a bicycle that I use for transportation.

I broke my nose in a bike accident when I was ten.

I am a pilot.

My home is in the mountains.

Photography is my hobby.

I like jazz music. I listen to the radio. I do not own a TV.

When I was 4 I fell on a fireplace and broke my nose.

[Speaker 1] I just got switched to the night shift at my job and I'm a little worried about riding my bike in the dark.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, I definitely understand that. It's a little dangerous to ride a bike in the dark and I'm sure having already had a bike accident makes you even more nervous. Do you have reflective gear you can wear to be a little safer?

[Speaker 1] Heh nice that you understand me, I have a helmet but nothing to save my nose, you know what I mean lol. Most likely I need to stop listening jazz while riding as it might be dangerous. What a shame

[Speaker 2] Lol I definitely know what you mean! Maybe you could get one of those reflective vests that runners wear. It would at least help cars see you better. Definitely a shame to have to stop listening to jazz when riding. I'm sure that helps pass the time so much faster!

[Speaker 1] Yes I will buy reflective vest. Most likely I will need to find new job here. for few years I really fell love in Seattle. Have you been in Seattle before? I mean properly not just in airport or hotel for one night

[Speaker 2] Oh I agree, I'm partial to the mountains, but really do enjoy Seattle. I've had a few layovers there and gotten to explore the city. It's beautiful (when it isn't raining lol)!

[Speaker 1] Heh, and how is in your place up there? Isn't it cold or foggy? I can bet nice views there to take photos. I feel jealous now hehe

[Speaker 2] Hehe you'll have to come visit sometime! The views are amazing and it's foggy in the mornings sometimes, but in the evenings the sunsets are amazing and you can see for miles. I've taken a ton of photos of the sunsets and even have them hanging in my house! Have you been to the mountains? hehe

[Speaker 1] I would like someday to visit your place. That's why I am not wondering why you don't own a TV. I was in Swiss mountains about 15 years ago and it was just amazing.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you understand that, some people find it odd that I don't own a TV, but I feel that I enjoy the area a lot more without the distraction of a tv. I would love to go to the Swiss mountains! They are beautiful! I'm not really into skiing, but have always wanted to ski there just to say that I have. You know? Plus I'd love to get some of their chocolate. Did you try any when you were there?

[Speaker 1] You should definitely visit Swiss, as for me chocolate was alright nothing special. Also if I can save enough money maybe we could have a fly tour for a few days and visiting few places? I would be so happy

[Speaker 2] Oh I love that idea! I get employee benefits from the airline, so could get us some great discounts on flights! What are the top places you'd like to see?

I work in a factory.

Seattle is my favorite city. I live in Seattle.

I love jazz music.

I work the night shift.

I would like to visit the other speaker.

I am a pilot. I work at an airline.

My home is in the mountains. I like the mountains.

Photography is my hobby.

I've been to Seattle.

[Speaker 1] I could be getting ready to ride my bike in the dark. I live in Seattle so it could of started raining.

[Speaker 2] I have been to Seattle once, what area of the city are you based in ?

[Speaker 1] I live in a suburb in Eastern Seattle, it's a really nice place to visit if you ever decide to come to the city again.

[Speaker 2] Its great that its a nice area. Occasionally I get a layover in a city between flights and Seattle is somewhere I'd like to explore further. Are there any sights you would recommend me checking out next time i'm in the area ?

[Speaker 1] Aside from the obvious like the Space Needle? It'd really depend on what you're interested in and want to see. This cities got a little bit for everyone.

[Speaker 2] I love Museums and Art Galleries and botanical gardens etc. I've recently had a few days in Washington and got time to visit the Smithsonian museum and Arlington Cemetery. They were both so interesting and I'd highly recommend them. Have you ever been to Washington ?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to, but I haven't really been able travel. I'm a pretty big history buff so I'd love to visit some of the historical locations in the Washington area.

[Speaker 2] There are so many !! You'd have a great time and In Washington there are so many museums covering so many different topics that I'm sure you'd find something of interest. They probably have a Jazz museum somewhere too !! Are there any good Bars or clubs in Seattle to listen to Jazz Music in ?

[Speaker 1] Seattle has a great club scene, I hear there's a popular one that specializes in Jazz but I haven't been to it myself. Maybe if you visit the city we can get together and both check it out?

I work in a factory.

I love jazz music.

I work the night shift.

I could be getting ready to ride my bike in the dark. I live in Seattle.

I live in a suburb in Eastern Seattle. I haven't been able to travel. I have big history buff so I love to visit some of the historical locations in the Washington area. I hear there's a popular one that specializes in Jazz but I haven't been to it myself.

I have been to Seattle once. I get a layover in a city between flights and Seattle.

I love Museums and Art Galleries and botanical gardens. I've recently had a few days in Washington and got time to visit the Smithsonian museum and Arlington Cemetery.

[Speaker 1] For what reason did you visit Seattle? Will you visit Seattle in nearing future?

[Speaker 2] I thought some of those museums were beautiful there, so I went to check them out. I might go back next year!

[Speaker 1] Which ones did you visit while you were here?

[Speaker 2] I saw the Burke Museum, and the Museum of Pop Culture? Have you ever gotten a chance to visit those?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've been to those and loved them. Any others you would like to visit?

[Speaker 2] I was gonna visit the Asian Art Museum next time, I hear they have some beautiful pieces.

[Speaker 1] Might want to check out SAM as well, if you like art.

[Speaker 2] Thank you I'll definitely check that one out. Would you say the museums are the best part of Seattle?

[Speaker 1] Nah, not really. Seattle has so many awesome things. I know you like mountains and we have lots of those. The Cascades to the East and the Olympics to the West.

[Speaker 2] I imagine both of those ranges are beautiful. Is Seattle rich with history?

[Speaker 1] Seattle isn't as old as most cities so the history isn't as rich as a place like Boston. But, we have our own history.

[Speaker 2] Do you wish you lived in a more historical area or are you satisfied with Seattle?

I drive for myself.

I have several commercial trucks.

I grew up an orphan.

[Speaker 1] I found a super cool new commercial truck you might want to get for your business. It's an electrical truck could help out a lot.

[Speaker 2] Oh, thanks for the information . I am very much interested. Send me the details once you are free.

[Speaker 1] I will, certainly.  I'd really like to go see it with you.  It sounds very interesting. would you mind if I tag along?

[Speaker 2] Of course no. You are always welcome. I ma glad that I will be having some company. It would be also helpful if you give your suggestion. When you will be free?

[Speaker 1] I'm off work at 4pm, but have to change the oil on  my truck.   Can we go around 5:30?>

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. So get ready . We can also have dinner if that is okay with you?

[Speaker 1] yes, that would be perfect.

[Speaker 2] Okay. Do you need me tp pick you up? You can send me the location.

[Speaker 1] That would be great.  Can we take one of your commercial trucks?  I'd love to ride in one.  I'll send directions now.

[Speaker 2] Cool. Your wish. Meet you there at 5.15 , okay. Be ready for the fun filled evening. Lol.

[Speaker 1] Great!   I'm looking forward to it.

[Speaker 2] Okay. See you soon. Bye.

My name is Dan.

I own a black ford f150. I like ford trucks. I don't know about commercial trucks.

I am interested in electric trucks.

My name is Mike.

I drive commercial trucks often.

I drive for myself.

I have several commercial trucks.

I grew up an orphan.

I work in a trucking business. I am interested in electric trucks.

I enjoy company.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought any more about buying an electric truck?

[Speaker 2] It's so interesting to me, but when I called about it, they told me that they're not selling to individual customers right now.

[Speaker 1] Seriously? Aw man that's a shame. I want one too. I wonder if there's another dealer that sells to individuals. Are you trying to replace your entire trucking fleet with all electric trucks?

[Speaker 2] The company I spoke with told me everything they make is committed to sell to Amazon. My small fleet isn't big enough to be on their radar.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that's insane. You'd think they'd want to take care of smaller companies too to generate some word of mouth. That sucks man. How has business been lately anyways?

[Speaker 2] It's been pretty good. I mostly deliver food products to grocery stores.

[Speaker 1] Where do you deliver? All across the US or locally?

[Speaker 2] I've got trucks in three states: Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Many people say I cover all of the important states!

[Speaker 1] Haha nice! I've been Florida and Georgia but never Alabama...what is it like?

[Speaker 2] To be honest, it's hard to tell were Florida stops and Alabama begins. They all look the same to me.

[Speaker 1] What about the people, food etc?

[Speaker 2] The food must be great because they sure have a lot of obese people there. I only eat healthy food and I pack my own meals on my trips.

My name is Dan.

I want to buy an electric truck.

I've visited Florida and Georgia. I've never visited Alabama.

My name is Mike.

I drive commercial trucks often. I drive for myself. I have several commercial trucks.

I grew up an orphan.  I always felt alone growing up. Driving commercial trucks gives me solace. I enjoy company.

I'm considering purchasing an electric truck, but individual sales aren't allowed right now.

I have a small fleet of trucks that I want to convert to electric vehicles.

My trucking business is doing well. We deliver food items to grocery stores. We operate in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

I practice a healthy diet. I pack my own meals when I travel.

[Speaker 1] What do your healthy food choices consist of mainly?

[Speaker 2] We have lots of turkey burger options and wraps! Love that protein and having an option of flavorful sandwiches and burgers.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried Burger King's Impossible Burger?

[Speaker 2] I have not personally tried it as I am not a fan of fast food, but I hear it puts up a very good fight in the fast food vegan/vegetarian world. This makes me thing of new ideas. Have you given it a try?

[Speaker 1] I have tried it, it is not bad but when you finish it you don't feel as full from a regular burger. But if you smell it, it has a hint of smelling like dog food.

[Speaker 2] I am not a fan of eating things that do not smell good. Smell is a very important factor in the process. Maybe I should create something more pleasantly smelling!

[Speaker 1] Must be hard trying to eat healthy when you are always on the road driving.

[Speaker 2] It was hard at the start, but meal prepping has eventually come with ease. I notice I now save time and feel better overall when I am eating my own healthier options than stopping somewhere for a bite to eat. Quickness is one thing I always like to offer my customers.

[Speaker 1] other than fixing your own. Truck drivers only options are fast food and truck stops. That is why most of them are overweight.

[Speaker 2] This is true, but the good thing is there truly is always an alternative if they want one. They just have to choose it! It used to be very hard for me to choose the healthier options, especially when I am slam tired.

[Speaker 1] I agree. So how is Alabama? I am thinking of visiting Alabama this summer.

[Speaker 2] It will indeed be a hot one, and the gas prices are quite high right now. However, the Gulf is gorgeous, one of the best bodies of water. Have you ever been to the Gulf?


When it is warm out, I like to build things.

I am a science major at john hopkins university.

I go to europe every year.

I've a step mom.

I like iced snacks.

I enjoy being in nature.
I care about the environment.
I lived on teh west coast.
I am thrifty with my spending.

[Speaker 1] Hello! Hows the weather out there?

[Speaker 2] The weather is beautiful here in california. How about for you?

[Speaker 1] Fall colors are starting here in the midwest. Any plans for today?

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm going hiking, I love the outdoors. What are your plans?

[Speaker 1] I would love to go biking, but I've to study for a test.

[Speaker 2] Studying is always important. I may also look for deals at goodwill today.

[Speaker 1] Ha ha! I am a college student ; goodwill is my clothing source!

[Speaker 2] Right! It beats the high priced boutiques any day!

[Speaker 1] I'd love to see california. My ambition is to visit all 50 states.

[Speaker 2] Mine too! I really love it here, like they say there's no place like home.

[Speaker 1] I'm always itching to get away as soon as I get back from a trip.

[Speaker 2] I understand that feeling well. I usually try to distract myself with some other activity, like recycling.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool. We all need to pitch in and save the planet.

[Speaker 2] Very true. I feel very strongly about recycling.


I love dogs.
I enjoy reading.
My favorite flower is a lily.
I'm single.

I wake early to watch the sun rise every day.

Sometimes I think I should get out and exercise more.

I work 60 hours a week.

I love sunsets.

I eat breakfast then go right back to bed.

I'm not a cat person.
I like to flip thru books.
I like lilies a lot.
I'm not in a relationship.

I get up before 5 everyday.

I really need to go to the gym more.

My job takes most of my time.

I ike right before night time.

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

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Not bad got up to watch the sunrise today

[Speaker 1] I sometimes watch the sunset with my dogs, I love them.

[Speaker 2] I wish I had a dog but I work too much to take care of one

[Speaker 1] I don't work, just read mostly, and play with my dogs.

[Speaker 2] That isn't bad if you can afford it I'm thinking of joining a gym

[Speaker 1] I enjoy going to the gym as well, hitting on all the girls there.

[Speaker 2] Haha that is one reason to go I guess

[Speaker 1] I will get them my favorite flower, a lily for their troubles.

[Speaker 2] I am excited to see the sunset tonight its so pretty

[Speaker 1] Where are you going to watch it?

[Speaker 2] At home through my apartment window

[Speaker 1] You forgot to invite me over, I will bring my dog.

[Speaker 2] I am not sure if my building allows pets I would have to ask

[Speaker 1] Please do, I could bring some books for us tor ead as well.

[Speaker 2] I have not read a book in a very long time I'm always so busy

I don't have a job. I read a lot.

I'm interested in women. I also like going to the gymnastics.

Lilies are my favorite flower.

I don't have a dog. I work a lot.

I work out or am thinking about working out.

I live in an apartment that faces the sunset.

I don't read a lot and am very busy.

[Speaker 1] I went and bought some lilies yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Really, my boyfriend bought me some lilies one time, I liked them a lot.

[Speaker 1] That was sweet of him. Every good woman deserves flowers from her man sometimes. The ones I bought were for decorating my house and giving it a little life.

[Speaker 2] Well everyone deserves to take care of themselves and their homes too haha. You did very well I am sure they look pretty.

[Speaker 1] Yes. They look great sitting on my windowsill. I bought some roses, too, but I don't have a pretty woman to give them to, unfortunately.

[Speaker 2] Aww that's fine I'm sure there will be one day. Roses are my favourite flowers btw.

[Speaker 1] Yeah they are lovely and smell great. My dogs love the smell of fresh roses when I bring them home.

[Speaker 2] Oh how are your dogs doing? What are their names?

[Speaker 1] Well I have a lovely Alaskan Eskimo dog named King and a Pomeranian named Boo. I named the Pomeranian after Boo, the so-called "Cutest Dog in the World".

[Speaker 2] Aww that's cute. I've always wanted a dog, I think it's time I should get one.

[Speaker 1] I would definitely recommend it. Dogs certainly are man's best friend. What's stopping you from getting one?

[Speaker 2] Since I work a lot, I thought I wouldn't be available much to a pet. If I get a dog I want to make sure I take care of it well.

I watch the sunset sometimes with my dogs. I have an Alaskan Eskimo dog named King. I have a Pomeranian dog named Boo.

I don't have a job. I read a lot.

I also like going to the gymnastics.

Lilies are my favorite flower.

I am interested in house decorating.

I am romantically interested in women. I am single.

I don't have a dog. I am very busy with work.

I don't read a lot.

I have a boyfriend. I like lilies.

I value house decorating.

My favorite flowers are roses.

I do not have a dog. I want a dog.

[Speaker 1] My house looks so much more beautiful today with the new lilies that I bought. Tomorrow, I'm going to the furniture store to get some new chairs to match them. I love shopping for new furniture.

[Speaker 2] I love home decor. Are you going to get an outdoor table to go with it? I love sitting outside to enjoy a cup of coffee.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I jut stained the deck last summer, it should be good for another year. I also sitting out there, it's so relaxing.

[Speaker 2] I bet your dog Boo loves spending time with you out there. I wish I could have a pet but it's against my apartment building's policy. I am thinking about turning my extra bedroom into a gym.

[Speaker 1] Yeah Boo and King, love out there waiting for scraps to fall! Yeah that's the thing about aparatment's sometimes, too many rules! Ever think about buying a house? I would like to have a gym, maybe I would exercise more!

[Speaker 2] My boyfriend, Corey and I are saving up to put a downpayment on a house. Nothing too fancy, just something we can start building a family in. We are hoping to find a two bedroom house in the country somewhere, away from the hustle and bustle of city live. He's hoping we find a place that needs a little work, but I want to find something we already love.

[Speaker 1] Yes, you should get a place of your own! It's so much more rewarding when you are not paying someone else's mortgage or giving your money to some corporation! Home renovations are fun as long as you stick to the budget.

[Speaker 2] I've never been good with money, which is why it's taking a long time to save up. Do you do a personal budget? Every time I sit own and create a budget, I follow it for about a month and then I get off track. My darn shopping habits! It's so hard when I see something cute at the mall.

[Speaker 1] Yes I have always been a good saver, I am very content with belongings and don't want too much. In the past I accumulated so much stuff then ended up throwing it out or giving it away. I set up my bank account to automatically withdraw money to another account every month so it wasn't there for me to spend in the beginning. Then I started investing that money.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. I should look into getting money taken out each month so I am forced to save. Thanks so much! Are you buying stocks to invest or do you invest by buying Certificates of Deposits? I can absolutely picture you trading stocks.

[Speaker 1] Yes its hard to get started, but when you see it possible its very rewarding. In the beginning I just bought mutual funds, but after some more experience now I buy stocks which usually pay dividends and ETFs. Warren Buffett is a good guy to read some material on if your interested, he's a really good investor.

[Speaker 2] I've always heard his name float around when it comes to money. I feel like anything that Elon Musk does it so interesting and innovative, look at Tesla. He and his businesses make a lot of money, he's probably a good investment. He now has his own internet network called StarLink. Definitely something I am looking into when we buy a house. It's hard to get high-speed internet in my location, so having a reliable high-speed satellite connection for internet is important.

I don't have a job. I read a lot.

I also like going to the gymnastics.

Lilies are my favorite flower. I have lilies.

I am interested in house decorating.

I have a house.I love furniture shopping. I like sitting outdoors.  I want a gym.

I'm good with money. I buy stocks.

I don't read a lot.

I like lilies. My favorite flowers are roses.

I do not have a dog. I want a dog. I wish I had a pet.

I love home decor. I love coffee outdoors.

I have an apartment. I have an extra bedroom.

I have a boyfriend named Corey. I am saving for a house. I want to move away from the city. I'm not good at saving money.

I have unreliable internet.

[Speaker 1] Did you and your boyfriend go out today to look at houses?

[Speaker 2] We did yeah, Corey and I looked at a nice place today.

[Speaker 1] That's great, hopefully you can find the home of your dreams. Tell me about the place you looked at.

[Speaker 2] It was in a brownstone and was two levels, good sized kitchen without being too big, cozy second level with two bedrooms and a bathroom that almost made me weep.

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds great. I'd like to live in a place like that. How would you decorate the interior?

[Speaker 2] Honestly it seems to be a place that would benefit from darker cool colors, like blues and greens and such. It also has a nice little area outside in the back where we could have coffees in the mornings.

[Speaker 1] It sounds like you know what you're doing. I see a wall and I want to paint it black.

[Speaker 2] That's fair, but to each their own. Unlike me you're actually good with money, you could buy your own place and make it a palace of darkness.

[Speaker 1] I'd prefer to live inside of a rolling stone. It would be pretty dark in there. Are there other houses you are going to look at?

[Speaker 2] There's a nice colonial we were considering. Nice stone outside, good patio, but it's like four bedrooms and we could never fill them all.

[Speaker 1] What a large house. Would there be room for me and Boo? We don't have jobs.

[Speaker 2] There'd be room for you, Boo and your giant library. Or you could bring a girlfriend with you or something.


I like to travel.

My mother was born in ireland.

I have traveled to both ireland and australia.

My father was an author.

I work in finance.

I look down on people who didn t.

I eat out more than three times a week.

I believe the rich shouldn t be taxed as much.

I enjoy seeing the world.

I'm part irish.

I try to travel once a year.

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

My career is in the banking industry.
I'm disappointed with folks who didn't.
I do not make healthy meal choices.
I am a republican.

[Speaker 1] I like to go anywhere because my parents are both author

[Speaker 2] That's nice to know. I travel due to being financially stable.

[Speaker 1] My mother is raise in ireland so I travel there and in australia.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful. I am addicted to fast food

[Speaker 1] Why that's bad to your health?

[Speaker 2] I have tons of money, and am too lazy to cook.

[Speaker 1] If you have money go hire a chef

[Speaker 2] I am not very worried about it! I am still skinny. Are you?

[Speaker 1] No I'm fat but still handsome

[Speaker 2] Woman love a little extra meat sometimes. As long as you are productive.

[Speaker 1] I'm that is why I'm rich today

[Speaker 2] I understand completely. Life is great!

[Speaker 1] Yes I know that, if you have time maybe we can eat dinner?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, considering I eat out a lot!

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite dish I can cook that for you.

[Speaker 2] Chicken nuggets with the special sauce.

I live with my parents.

I have visited different continents. I have Irish heritage.

I am comfortable with the way I look.

I have much more money than others.

I like to go out with others.

I like cooking.

I have a stable job. I like to travel. I have excess money.

I enjoy going out to eat.

I do not like cooking.

I place a lot of value in productivity.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work that makes so much money?

[Speaker 2] I trade stocks. It can be harrowing but it's been lucrative so far. What are you doing for cash these days?

[Speaker 1] I am working as a personal trainer. It doesn't pay great but it helps me stay in shape and save.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. I work so much, all I have time for is trying new restaurants.

[Speaker 1] I like to eat out, but cooking at home is so much cheaper and better for you. Cooking can be fast if you take a day to prepare all your meals for the week.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good plan. Do you get new recipe ideas dining at new restaurants?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do! I love getting new idea by eating at foreign restaurants and trying to replicate the dishes myself.

[Speaker 2] Me too! But I don't cook enough at home. Eating out all the time is less healthy

[Speaker 1] True, but if you can be productive while saving time maybe it is worth it.

[Speaker 2] Yep, that's the tradeoff.

[Speaker 1] Do you plan on traveling anywhere soon?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've always wanted to go to Bali. I'm planning for summer

I live with my parents.

I have visited different continents. I have much more money than others. I have Irish heritage.

I am concerned about my health and body image. I am comfortable with the way I look.

I like to go out with others.

I like cooking.

I am a personal trainer.

I like to replicate dishes from new restaurants.

I like to travel. I am planning to go to Bali this summer. I have excess money.

I enjoy going out to eat. I also like to try new restaurants for new recipe ideas. I do not like cooking.

I place a lot of value in productivity.

I have a stable job. I trade stocks for work. I work a lot.

[Speaker 1] The stock market has been pretty down lately-I'm sure that's been keeping you even busier at work.

[Speaker 2] Yes work has been a little crazy lately.  Makes the days go by really fast though.  How's your personal trainer job going?  Do you have a lot of clients?

[Speaker 1] Yes it's been going well, I have been working with a lot of clients as people don't know how to work out on their own so have been training with me instead

[Speaker 2] That's awesome!  I should maybe try a session with you sometime.  Have you tried any new dishes lately, that you could share a recipe with me?

[Speaker 1] Yes I'll guarantee you a very good workout to get you in shape.  Yes I've been cooking a lot of new dishes recently.  What kinds of food do you like?

[Speaker 2] Sounds great!  Do I just talk to you to schedule something or is it better for me to call your gym?  I love italian food, but have also been eat a lot of chinese and mexican lately too.

[Speaker 1] You can schedule with me.  What are you favorite chinese dishes?  I've been learning a lot of chinese recipes recently.

[Speaker 2] Ok I'll look at my calendar and let you know some days and times I would be available and see what works for you.  I love all of the spicy chinese dishes that I've tried recently.  The heat adds a lot!

[Speaker 1] How are your parents ?

[Speaker 2] They're doing well! They've been trying to set me up on a blind date though haha

[Speaker 1] That sounds awkward! I'm glad I never had to go on one of those. I'm happily married now.

[Speaker 2] Did your parents get along with your spouse?

[Speaker 1] They passed before I got married, unfortunately. They would've loved her though!

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that. I hope to have a relationship like my parents had. They have been happily married for 30 years

[Speaker 1] That's great! I love stories of longevity like that. How is your job? Still really hectic?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is still quite hectic! But I have been stress shopping to cope haha

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea, haha. What kind of things have you bought?

[Speaker 2] Well i bought a few new bathing suits and some cool pool toys

[Speaker 1] Sounds like it's time for a pool party. I'm jealous! Haven't been to the beach or the pool in so long.

[Speaker 2] it is getting quite cold where i live so soon I won't be able to swim for a while. I'll have to find something else to help me relax

I like the relationship my parents have. My parents have been married for 30 years.

[Speaker 1] Inspired by your swimming pursuits, I looked online for vacation ideas for someplace warm. Maybe its been too long since I've had a relaxing weekend at the beach.

[Speaker 2] Well that sounds good to me. I know I could use a break. When are you planning on taking vacation?

[Speaker 1] I'm planning a trip to Spain for the fall. Do you read often? I could use some book suggestions to read while on the plane and then for the beach.

[Speaker 2] I wish I was a reader! Its rare for me to have time. Spain sounds wonderful. Do you read much? I have a pile of books to read but I never get to them.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha I haven't read a book in years. But I figured if i was going on vacation i should try to do some of the other things I haven't had time for. Are you more of a movie person?

[Speaker 2] A few here and there, but I can't say I'm a movie person. Music is what I enjoy on down time.

[Speaker 1] What is your go to music when you want to relax and unwind?

[Speaker 2] Lately it had been blues. I like all kinds of music though. Ever hear of Patrick Sweeney??

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't! Should I? Is he a blues singer?

[Speaker 2] Blues and rock. He isn't big time famous but he has been going strong for quite a while. He's worth looking up if you like that sort of thing. Whats your music of choice?

[Speaker 1] I'm not really a music person myself, but I love getting suggestions from other people. Where did you first hear Patrick Sweeney's music?

I like music better than movies. I like all kinds of music.

I like Patrick Sweeney's music. I have been to a Patrick Sweeney concert twice. I prefer small shows over bigger ones.

[Speaker 1] I finally got rid of my old car.

[Speaker 2] And how do you feel about that? Did you get a replacement?

[Speaker 1] No money for replacement yet.

[Speaker 2] Can't ask your partner for help? Maybe you'll find something cheap on your trip to spain or something.

[Speaker 1] I will try to work something out.

[Speaker 2] How's work in the temp agency? Any good stories?

[Speaker 1] It is really interesting but I am still looking for further opportunities.

[Speaker 2] Any idea where? I might start looking too to get out retail. What would you like to do?

[Speaker 1] I want to be my own boss.

[Speaker 2] Like own your own buisness? That sounds like a good idea.

I have four kids.

[Speaker 1] How is jojo? How are you children?

[Speaker 2] Hi!  They've been good. Jojo certainly keeps the kids busy. How's work been?

[Speaker 1] It has been pretty busy. How has your art coming along?

[Speaker 2] The art is coming along slowly. with my husband away for work so  much I've really had to slow down on the painting.  I don't seem to get enough time.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine it is hard to find time for art and taking care of four kids by yourself. I can't imagine doing all of that!

[Speaker 2] Its definitely interesting. Some days I take them to the movies just so I can sit and think to myself!  We say the new Power Rangers movie last weekend.  Have you seen it?  It was tolerable since the movie theater sells wine.

[Speaker 1] I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to! Did you like it?

[Speaker 2] It was okay. The kids really enjoyed it.  So tell me about what swanky new home you're decorating nowadays?  I always love to hear about them.

[Speaker 1] I am currently helping an older couple renovate their home from the 80s. It is quite the challenge because they haven't really updated anything since they bought the house!

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting, though!  Is it completely outdated?  Like with rotary phones? I'd love to have my kids see one of those. Would be interesting if they could use it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's a very old fashioned home with all of the original bells and whistles. It's interesting to go back in time and see how things use to be!

[Speaker 2] I'd like to see it!  Would love to do a  painting of it.

I am an interior designer. I decorate and renovate homes.

I have four kids.

My husband is away for work often.

[Speaker 1] I have an update on the house that I've been renovating!

[Speaker 2] That sounds really good. What happened?

[Speaker 1] Well my client wanted some really complex flooring designs which I managed to pull off for him. It's a mix of polished marble and treated 19th century lumber. He loves it!!

[Speaker 2] That is so great. Where did you manage to find that kind of design? I bet that would be really beautiful. I would love to see the house.

[Speaker 1] It was completely custom, and I worked with some local suppliers for the materials. My client said "cost was no barrier" so I kind of went all out haha. I can take some pics of it before they move back in if you'd like?

[Speaker 2] That would be great if you could do that. I would love to renovate our house but with my husband being gone a lot I just feel that we have no time to do it. How much do you usually charge to do the renovation for someone once they give you a budget?

[Speaker 1] Well I'd sit down with you and go over the rooms you'd like to renovate and exactly what you'd like to do. Price really differs based on the scenario. What are you looking to do?

[Speaker 2] I would love to redo our kitchen, as I love to cook. It is just too small for our family and I enjoy letting our kids cook as well. Just need more space in there and in our living room. I would love to knock a couple walls down and have an open kitchen/living room plan.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice OK. Yeah so for a full kitchen built-out and taking down some walls I'd say you'd be looking at $20K-$30K minimum. We'd also need to make sure those walls aren't load-bearing. If you'd like I can come by with my contractor sometime this week or weekend and take a look. I can probably give you a more accurate quote too

[Speaker 2] I would love if you could do that. I would love for it to be a surprise for my husband when he comes back from working out of town. He is a contractor for a big company and is usually gone quite a bit. Besides interior design do you have any other talents?

[Speaker 1] Awesome, that's a great idea! We'll make it look awesome, I promise. Honestly designing and decorating is my life, and that has spilled over into other hobbies like painting..but I'm sure I'm not as good as you!

[Speaker 2] That is so true. He is not a very good painter. I love everything about painting and art in general. I usually sell my artwork at a local art gallery when it is all done.


I like to spend time at restaurants.

I like to visit new places.

I enjoy reading things that have long story lins.

I enjoying chatting with people I know.

I enjoy viewing the animals in the wild.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hello, I am fine, do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] One thing is reading especially series. You

[Speaker 2] I love animals, I'm always looking for wildlife, even on videos.

[Speaker 1] Sounds awesome. When bored I always talk to friends.

[Speaker 2] Great! I think I get along with animals better than people most of the time.

[Speaker 1] Animals are special for sure. Often my family and I go to restaurants.

[Speaker 2] Sounds nice, I like to visit animal shelters, do you?

[Speaker 1] It breaks my heart when I go into them.

[Speaker 2] It does break your heart, do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I have three dogs who are all rescues. They love to go with me on country drives.

[Speaker 2] Www, I have a few different breed of pets

[Speaker 1] I like to paint. Can I paint on you? I am a male.

[Speaker 2] Oh, me too. No, I do not think so.

[Speaker 1] That's probably good. I want to work at a museum.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I need to find a better job.

[Speaker 1] You should try painting people who are willing to pay.

[Speaker 2] I'm on my feet a lot but am overweight.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, well you can sit down and paint.

[Speaker 2] I need to start working out.

[Speaker 1] Well you should stop talking than and go on a walk.

[Speaker 2] I know, I know! But I am lazy.

[Speaker 1] You sound very lazy. Good luck kid.

[Speaker 1] I died my hair purple today

[Speaker 2] Wow. Are you a rocker? Bruno mars is my favorite musician

[Speaker 1] No but I do like playing video games.

[Speaker 2] What do you do? Purple hair must be hard to pull off.

[Speaker 1] I'll dye it red next, my favorite color

[Speaker 2] You sound young. Just an old accountant here.

[Speaker 1] Nice I love watching gone with the wind.

[Speaker 2] I do not play video games but I like to run.

[Speaker 1] Running is for losers I think.

[Speaker 2] That's not nice. Gone with the wind is an old movie.

[Speaker 1] Haha, you have any other pets?

[Speaker 2] Why do you say that? Why do you not like it?

[Speaker 1] I would rather play my video games

[Speaker 2] My dogs are actually wolves.

I own 2 turtles.
My hair is purple.
I like playing video games.
Red is my favorite color.
I love the movie Gone with the Wind.
I don't like to run.

I have 2 dogs and a cat.

Bruno Mars is my favorite musician.

I am an accountant. I'm old.

I don't like video games. I like to run.

[Speaker 1] I just watched a Bruno Mars video and actually really like him.

[Speaker 2] Yes he is the best! I can't wait until he comes out with a new album

[Speaker 1] I had never really heard his music before today, but it was good. I found myself dancing to it! Do you know when he will come out with a new album? I may pick it up.

[Speaker 2] Yes you can't not dance to his music. I am not sure when his next album is but if I hear anything I will let you know. It has been awhile for sure. Have you tried any new colors on your hair?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I recently went down the road of trying out purple. I've done red before, as it's my favorite color ever. I've also tried other colors. Do you ever color your hair with nontraditional colors?

[Speaker 2] No I am too old for that but I can certainly appreciate the boldness it takes to wear it.

[Speaker 1] Oh, you should give it a go. I'm sure you are young at heart! I can be a bit traditional, but I do like to express myself by my hair with a dash of color.

[Speaker 2] Very nice. Do you have any other creative outlets?

[Speaker 1] Well, I enjoy playing video games, but not sure that's very creative, but fun. I know you don't much care for them though.

[Speaker 2] I suppose some of them are creative if you have to build the character...Yes I have never really gotten too into videogames

[Speaker 1] I get it. I have certainly started playing them less as I get older. They tend to loose a bit of their excitement as you get older and find new hobbies.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I'd rather spend time with my animals

I own 2 turtles.

I like playing video games.

I love the movie Gone with the Wind.

I don't like to run.

I really like Bruno Mars.

I have purple hair.  Red is my favorite color. I express myself through my hair.

I have 2 dogs and a cat. I like spending time with my animals.

Bruno Mars is my favorite musician.

I am an accountant.

I'm too old to dye my hair nontraditional colors.

[Speaker 1] I've already changed my hair color!  You should see it!  I dyed it green for St. Patrick's Day!

[Speaker 2] That's so fun!  Was it hard to go from purple to green?  I wish I had the guts to change my hair color!

[Speaker 1] I wish you did too, you're never too old..think about it! If you don't like it, you can dye it back.  Yes it was really hard to change to green but I went to a salon to get it done.  If I didn't leave it to the professionals I'd probably have no hair left to dye! How are those animals of yours doing?

[Speaker 2] They're doing great!  Always needing attention, of course!  I'm sure they require way more attention than turtles!  At least turtles don't beg to be walked multiple times a day!  Have you heard if Bruno Mars will be touring anytime soon?

[Speaker 1] You'd be surprised at how needy those little turtles are, haha!  But yes, no walks for them!  Bruno Mars is touring this summer, how lucky are we?  Let's plan on getting tickets; do you think your work schedule will allow it? I know you've been so busy.

[Speaker 2] I have been busy but this summer will slow down once income tax season is over so it should be no problem for me to take off!  I can't wait!  Will you have any problems getting off work?

[Speaker 1] That will be something to look forward to then during your busy season.  No problem here getting out of work! Although video games seem to have been taking more and more of my time lately...I just can't stop!

[Speaker 2] What are your favorite types of games to play?  I can't seem to ever get into playing them.

[Speaker 1] I really enjoy playing Halo.  One night I was playing and the next thing I knew, it was 4AM.  I couldn't belive it.  I'd like to invited you to join but it can turn into a very time consuming thing so I'll warn you that!  I even found a red controller; its great.  How has running been going for you?  Any long runs lately/

[Speaker 2] I've been so busy with work that it's hard to find time during daylight hours to run!  My dogs are really hating my work schedule right now because they loved our runs but I'm just not that comfortable running after dark!  That's crazy that you played for so long!  I guess you must love the game so much time just gets away from you!  I think I've seen the red controllers in the store before!

[Speaker 1] I like to think the red controllers help me play better.  Well once summer rolls around I'm sure you and the dogs will be able to enjoy it again.  What color hair do you think I  should do for the summer?

[Speaker 2] What about rose gold?  I saw someone online with rose gold hair and it was so pretty!  Seems like a good spring/summer color too!  Very unique!  Although it might be hard to get there from green!  I'm sure it would take a lot of bleach!

I once saw peyton manning at the grocery store.

I am in advertising.

I like to listen to loud sounds.

My father passed away when I was a teen.

I download videos online.

[Speaker 1] I'm trying to glue some macaroni to cardboard right now!

[Speaker 2] I'dn't be able to do that. I'm allergic to the gluten in macaroni.

[Speaker 1] Oh, really, does that interfere with work? I pump gas!

[Speaker 2] Not really, my allergies are part of life. I'm a commercial actor.

[Speaker 1] Really? I sell encyclopedias, maybe you could make an encyclopedia commercial?

[Speaker 2] I hope to get into tv and movies one day. I love watching them.

[Speaker 1] That is great, I collect rocks, which I realize is very different type of hobby!

[Speaker 2] Geology rocks! I wish I could spend time outside, but with all my allergies...

[Speaker 1] That's tough! I travel for sales, so have to be outside!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I can imagine that a traveling encyclopedia salesman is outside lots.

[Speaker 1] As an actor, have you met anyone famous?

[Speaker 2] Meeting ozzy osbourne was the biggest and best, I love metal!

[Speaker 1] Wow! Me too. I saw peyton manning at a store once!

[Speaker 2] I loved his papa johns commercials! Inspiration.

I like arts and crafts

I am a gas station employee.

I also sell encyclopedias.

I have hobbies not all people understand.

I travel often.

I have met peyton manning.

I am allergic to gluten.

I am an actor.

I want to be on a big screen.

I love metal music. I meet famous people through work.

[Speaker 1] What has been your most recent job you've acted in?

[Speaker 2] I had a small part in THE IRISHMAN. Working with Scorsese was a dream

[Speaker 1] I wish I could met famous people like you. I see a lot of people at the gas station but not any famous people.

[Speaker 2] Like a lot of things, it becomes pretty routine after a while. There are exceptions, like when someone is so famous and you've admired them for years and years. Didn't you meet Peyton Manning?

[Speaker 1] Yes I did meet him. But I met Mr. Manning after a football game. I always forget how tall football players really are!

[Speaker 2] I know! Joe Montana was in a club I was working out at. On TV, he looked small compared to all the other guys, but he's at least 6'2"

[Speaker 1] I've always been short, I wish I could be as tall as the. But being short helps when I travel, airplanes have such little leg-room!

[Speaker 2] How's the encyclopedia sales going? Years ago, I tried that, door-to-door, and quit after one day.

[Speaker 1] It's going okay. It's a hard job but I make good money for a side gig. These days most people buy off of my website, which is much less work for me.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. I wish I could work from home.

[Speaker 1] It's nice but I don't get to see many people.

[Speaker 2] That wouldn't bother me; I hate going outside.

I like arts and crafts

I am a gas station employee.

I also sell encyclopedias as a side gig.

I travel often.

I met the football player Peyton Manning.

I am short.

I am allergic to gluten.

I am an actor. I want to be on a big screen.

I don't like going outside due to my health.  I hate going outside. I wish I could work from home.

I had a part in the Irishman movie. It was a dream to work with Martin Scorsese. I met Joe Montana.

I used to go door-to-door to sell encyclopedia's.

[Speaker 1] What part did you have in the Irishman? I love that movie! Are there any other popular movies or shows you have had a part in?

[Speaker 2] I was one of the mobsters, one of the "henchmen", I had a couple lines. But it was really a privilege. I also had a small part on Killing Eve. Do you like watching movies?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I love Killing Eve too!  What was your part on that?  And I'm going to have to rewatch the Irishman and look for you in the henchmen.  And absolutely I love to watch movies.  I'm curious--how do you go for/ get acting roles if you don't like going outside?

[Speaker 2] I had a bit part as one of the bad guys Villanelle dispatches. The short answer is a lot of therapy and anxiolytic medication. It's been a huge struggle, but that makes it more fulfilling. I am so jealous of how you can travel so easily though. Where have you been lately?

[Speaker 1] All I can say is I really admire your tenacity in doing whatever you need to do to be able to work at what you love.  And honestly, since I've moved to Mexico I haven't had that much desire to travel since it is so beautiful and fulfilling here.  My last travel was 5 years ago to Italy.  When I do get the wanderlust again, I want to go to Ireland and Northern Scotland and maybe England depending on time and money.

[Speaker 2] That sounds incredible. What are the things you most enjoy about living in Mexico?

[Speaker 1] I've already told you all about what I do in Mexico--what do you do in Africa for fun?  And what's it like living there?  Do you live in the city or further out?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy going on safari, not to hunt, but to spot exotic animals in the wild. I live in a small town in South Africa, out in the country. I also want to visit Ireland someday.

[Speaker 1] So glad you don't hunt!  I hate it.....since you live in South Africa, how come you've never been to the beach?  I've heard that the ones on the southern coast of S Africa are beautiful.  How far are you by car to a coast?

[Speaker 2] Well my health issues makes it difficult and something about the beach just triggers my anxiety. I'm about 3 hours from the coast, so it's not easy to get to. What about you, do you enjoy the beach?

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry, I forgot about your health issues and not liking the outside.  I completely understand why you haven't gone to the beach.  I love the beach and I hope when you visit you will be able to enjoy it (or learn to enjoy it) as much as I do and you will not be ill.

[Speaker 2] Someday, hopefully. I also want to be able to travel to the places you talked about.

[Speaker 2] It is a lot of hard work and stress, but I love that I am in control of everything. Would you start your own logging business, or something else?

[Speaker 1] If I could, I would love to. I don't mind the hard-work. I would love to be in control as well.

[Speaker 2] You should start thinking about it. I assume that being a lumberjack is stressful on your body, so being able to have employees do all of the hard labor while you take care of the business from the office might be nice when you're older.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for your input. That's a really great suggestion. I will surely give it a serious thought.

[Speaker 2] How old is your current boss? Maybe he'd be open to selling the business to you when he retires. It never hurts to ask, and maybe he'd take you under his wing to mentor you.

I am a lumberjack. My job is dangerous.

I have a wife and child.

I started my company. I own a moving company that works cross-country.

[Speaker 1] Did you get any good business opportunities?

[Speaker 2] I have been doing a number of cold calls to try and increase my client base. So far, I've learned how difficult it can be to find enough clients since I've only gotten three new clients. Its a struggle but the control of owning my own business makes it worth it.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad it's all worth it!  That's a lot of work and I'm sure it gets disappointing at times.  Way to go on having such a positive attitude!  I need to put more effort into opening my logging business.  Any pointers?

[Speaker 2] First, I would say never give up. The hardest part seems to be in the beginning when you are still trying to get your base going. Its tough to give specifics since I don't know the inner workings of the logging industry like you do. Have you thought about picking up a business partner to help share in the load of starting a business?

[Speaker 1] Fair enough.  I know I need to keep the thought "Never Give Up!" with me at all times because I'm sure there are plenty of hard times when I'll feel like giving up.  I think finding a good business partner is the perfect start.  Thanks for the idea!  How's the family these days?

[Speaker 2] The family is doing great. Which reminds me of another point about starting your own business. It's like picking up a 2nd marriage. You must be careful not to over do it when it comes to the amount of work you put on your self or you will start neglecting your family!

[Speaker 1] Wow, great point!  I never would've thought of that.  I'm sure it's important to have a business partner who has the same work ethic as you do.  Do you have a business partner or is it just you running the show?

[Speaker 2] I started the business on my own with my wife being one of the only one really helping alongside. Since then, I've realized the neglect I had toward my family and decided it was best to bring on new partners. Now days, there is a team of 5 of us and it helps us make sure that everything gets done without us neglecting the other things in life that matter. All of the partners were previous people I had worked with. Do you know any other lumberjacks that want to start their own logging company as well?

[Speaker 1] That's really great insight.  I appreciate you sharing that with me.  I know quite a few lumberjacks but I don't know how business-savy any of them are. I'll have to ask around and see if any are interested!

[Speaker 2] You really should. Having other competent people that you know you can rely on really makes a difference in the end. Not working with others, at first, was one of the biggest mistakes I made.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for letting me learn from your mistakes! ;)  I really do appreciate your advice.  How long did it take for your business to start making money?

[Speaker 2] I gave myself 5 years to get to profitability. That is rather standard for most new businesses. But, I was one of the lucky ones and we were able to get things to profitability within 2 years! I really owe it to the logistics software that I got early on. Being organized has been such a time saver.

I am a lumberjack. My job is dangerous.

I am thinking about starting my own logging business. I think finding a good business partner is the perfect start.

I know  a few lumberjacks.

I have a wife and child.

I started my company on my own with my wife being one of the only one really helping alongside. Nowadays, there is a team of 5  I own a moving company that works cross-country.

I love being in control of my own business but it is stressful and hard. I gave myself 5 years to get to profitability.

I have been doing a number of cold calls to try and increase my client base.

I have family. The family is doing great.

[Speaker 1] I have already read one more business book, however, I still has a lot of hesitation concerning my ownership of that business

[Speaker 2] You should definitely go for it! Everyone is scared and hesitant at first.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that give me some inspiration.

[Speaker 2] Good I’m glad! How long have you been thinking about starting the business?

[Speaker 1] My previous job is dangerous and I want to move on.

[Speaker 2] Scary! Do what makes you safe! Many people would hate to see you get hurt and or worse.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is my thought. The lumberjack work does not worth it.

[Speaker 2] I agree. What kind of business are you thinking of starting?

[Speaker 1] I want to start logging business if I see a good partner.

[Speaker 2] Way to go! You should definitely start!

[Speaker 1] Thanks. I am still looking for a partner with the same idea.

[Speaker 2] You should make a Facebook post or something to catch people’s eye. Who knows, maybe someone is looking for you too!

[Speaker 2] I was also watching tommy the tank engine!

[Speaker 1] Were you watching with someone or is that your favorite show?

[Speaker 2] My favorite show! I was also reading about trains!

[Speaker 1] So you are a fan of trains?

[Speaker 2] I am indeed, yes! What are you a fan of?

[Speaker 1] Summer. I love the sound of lawns being mowed, bees buzzing

[Speaker 2] Do you? I like the cold weather!

[Speaker 1] Brrr... I fell into a pond when skating... Came out with brain damage

[Speaker 2] Is the brain damage bad?

[Speaker 1] Poor Percy...  I'm ok.  A little confused and have constant slight headache.  Looking forward to summer.

[Speaker 2] I'm loving the cold weather right now! I'm hoping we get some snow here soon.

[Speaker 1] I forgot what  you told me about your cat. What happened to him?

[Speaker 2] She recently passed away from old age. My dog constantly looks around for her.

[Speaker 1] That is sad.  You should take him to the park to play on that Thomas the Train play area.  Did  you see that? It's adorable.

[Speaker 2] I have not seen it yet, but I will have to take him to check it out! That sounds like so much fun! Do you have any fun plans this summer?

[Speaker 1] Just planning on hanging out at the beach mostly. We do have a trip planned to go to North Conway and take the Cog Train up Mt. Washington.  being a train enthusiast,  you need to check that out.

[Speaker 2] I would love that! I will have to plan a trip. I don't have any plans so far for this summer, so I'll have to look into that.

[Speaker 1] Have  you been skiing much this winter?

[Speaker 2] I went last weekend, but that was the first I had been all season.

My name is June.

I love summer.

I felt into a pond when skating and the accident resulted in brain damage. I still has effects from an injury.

I have a vacation planned.

My cat recently died.

I have a dog named Percy.

I like cold weather.

I can ski.

[Speaker 1] I saw a friend recently that went skiing and they brought their dog to the mountain as well.  I wonder if your dog would like that.

[Speaker 2] I bet Percy would absolutely love that, what a great idea. I don't know who loves the snow more..me or Percy!

[Speaker 1] Let me know how it goes if you end up taking him! Do you have any plans to go skiing soon?

[Speaker 2] When don't I have plans, haha! I'll be going next weekend.  I'd invite you to join but I know how you feel about winter and snow!  Summer is almost here!! You have to tell me about that trip you just booked!

[Speaker 1] I am so excited about it!! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, and now I'm finally making my dream come true! I've worked hard and saved up enough money so that I get to stay there for three weeks!

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds so wonderful!! Be careful, you may not want to come back home after a trip like that.

[Speaker 1] I know, this may be a test run for a future move. I have always wanted to live where it is always summer weather.

[Speaker 2] That sounds perfect I know I would miss the winter too much to do that.  Hey! Last week I found out there is a Thomas the Train convention this summer.  Me and Percy are SO excited.  You get to dress up like your favorite character and even meet all the show's writers, cannot wait!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that sounds right up your alley! Who are you going to dress as?

[Speaker 2] Oh definitely Thomas! I don't know if they have full train costumes for adults, which totally isn't fair for us fans! But maybe I'll find a tshirt or maybe I can even make my own if I'm feeling crazy.

[Speaker 1] With your love of trains, I bet you could make the best costume there! Can Percy go with you? If so, will he dress as Percy from the show?

[Speaker 2] Of course! Percy went with me last time so he's already got his costume lined up.  He was a real hit! You should consider coming with if its not during the time you'll be in Hawaii.  Maybe  you can be the conductor!
