[Speaker 1] Hey, how are you this afternoon?

[Speaker 2] I'm good, how are you spending your afternoon?

[Speaker 1] Finally got a day off from the hospital

[Speaker 2] I like to play guitar in my free time, what about you?

[Speaker 1] Geez, with the kids, there is hardly any free time

[Speaker 2] I listen to music to clear my head, what music do you like if any?

[Speaker 1] I'm a huge rolling stones fan. Yourself?

[Speaker 2] I'm into worship music, sometimes I've it playing while I bike riding.

[Speaker 1] Interesting. What about food? I love mexican food!

[Speaker 2] I am a vegan but I may be going back to regular eating, vegan is so limited,

[Speaker 1] I agree. One of the kids is venturing into veganism. You have any?

[Speaker 2] I have four, one is all into skateboarding, yours?

[Speaker 1] One is doing the vegan, green earth thing. The other one is a jock

[Speaker 2] What a variety going on in your life! That is awesome.

I work at a hospital.

I have children.

I like The Rolling Stones.

I enjoy Mexican food.

I play guitar.

I like gospel music. I like to ride bikes.

I am a vegan.

I have four children. I have one child that enjoys skateboarding.

[Speaker 1] How long have you played the guitar?

[Speaker 2] I have played guitar for over 25 years. I learned in grade school. What about you, do you or any of your kids play instruments?

[Speaker 1] You must be really good at it. What type of music do you typically play? I used to play drums, but haven't in so long. One of my daughters plays the violin. She is excellent at it.

[Speaker 2] I typically play jazz or blues, but I enjoy all kinds of music. That's awesome that your daughter plays violin. One of my kids got a full ride to college by playing the oboe.

[Speaker 1] Wow. That is amazing. My daughter wants to go to school for Violin. Who knows if she will get a scholarship. Are all of your kids musically skilled like you?

[Speaker 2] Only two of my four kids are into music, but they are both very good at it. The other two children are more like their father, they love sports and the outdoors. It makes for a fun household, that's for sure!

[Speaker 1] I understand! What instrument does your other kid play? My son is very into sports and outdoorsy activies as well. He plays every sport imaginable.

[Speaker 2] The other kid plays the bassoon. He also got into a great university with a scholarship - it helps that not that many people play bassoon and oboe! My other two kids are in high school and they play varsity baseball, the  scouts are already looking to see who they will recruit. Maybe they can get scholarships as well. College in the US can get expensive! Does your son play sports in school?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it seems like your kids definitely made good choices in instruments. You must be very proud of your kids. College is SO expensive. We are just starting to look at them for one of my daughters now. My son is captain of the school lacrosse team and swimming team and he is on the basketball and football teams.

[Speaker 2] That's amazing. I'm sure he will do well with getting a few scholarships for sports. I wish education were free, don't you? It's so important yet so expensive.

[Speaker 1] We will see. I will be happy as long as my children are happy. I really wish college was free. It just doesn't seem right for people to pay so much and gather debt, especially when they are just starting off their adulthoods and careers and have no security or stability or knowledge of what will happen.

[Speaker 2] Yes, and from what I've read, the majority of people go on to do other things different than what they actually studied. The politics really have to change for education to be free, though, only time will tell!

I work at a hospital.

I like The Rolling Stones.

I enjoy Mexican food.

I have a son who is into sports and the outdoors, and is captain of the lacrosse team, and is on the swimming, basketball and football team.

I wish college was free.

I am a vegan.

I am a mother. I have 4 children. I have two children that like music, and the other two like sports and outdoors. I have one child that enjoys skateboarding. I have a kid that plays the bassoon. I have two kids in high school that play varsity baseball.

I play jazz and blues music. I enjoy all kinds of music. One of my kids got a full ride in college by playing the oboe.

I wish college was free.

[Speaker 1] My son's lacrosse team just won the State Championship!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's fantastic! I know how much that must mean to him. Did they play locally or did they have to travel somewhere?

[Speaker 1] They had to travel almost 3 hours away, but it was worth it.  I think since he's the captain it made the victory extra special. I hope he can get a scholarship now with this under his belt.

[Speaker 2] I hope so! I know that's important to him and to you too. It's crazy what can earn scholarships for school. I mean, school should be free, but if they earn scholarships, that really helps too. I wonder if scholarships would go away if school was free. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I suppose they would. It's just not fair that certain things get scholarships and other things don't. Lacrosse will get you one, but being a vegan and environmental activist like my daughter won't get you one.  It's so frustrating.

[Speaker 2] True, it's interesting what schools deem valuable, like playing instruments or being good at sports. I guess the sports make the schools more money, so that kind of makes sense, but I don't know why it's valuable to have people who play instruments. Do you think all schools should be free, or just the publicly funded ones?

[Speaker 1] Exactly! I think the publicly funded ones should be free to everyone. If private schools want to exist and people are willing to pay them (rather than it being free) then I think that's fine too, they can co-exist.  I just wish we didn't have to push sports on children just so we can afford college right now.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand. It doesn't make sense to have barriers to higher education. I wonder how much it would cost to make it free. Have you seen any accurate figures on that?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure, I'm not much into politics lol.  I barely have time to think, with chasing all these children around and running from practice to practice.

[Speaker 2] Haha I understand that for sure. I feel the same way often. Thankfully my two kids who play baseball play on the same team, so that cuts that down a little. Did you play any sports as a child?

[Speaker 1] Not really. My parents were pretty poor so they didn't have the money for sports. I only started playing the drums because an elderly friend of my dad's passed away and so we got the drum set for free.

[Speaker 2] I see. I didn't either, really. I mostly stuck to music as well. I kind of wanted to play volleyball, but making all the practices was difficult.

I work at a hospital.

I like The Rolling Stones.

I enjoy Mexican food.

I have one child that is a vegan. I have one child that is a jock. I have a daughter that plays the violin. I used to play drums.  We got my drum set from a friend of my dad's who passed away.

My daughter is a vegan and environmental activist.

I have a son who is into sports and the outdoors, and is captain of the lacrosse team and His team just won the Championship, and is on the swimming, basketball and football team.

I wish college was free. I hope my son can get a scholarship. I wish I didn't have to push sports on my children to be able to afford college.

I don't get into politics too much. I barely have time to think with all my kids' activities.

I didn't really play sports as a child. I grew up poor.

I am a vegan.

I am a mother. I have 4 children. I have two children that like music, and the other two like sports and outdoors. I have one child that enjoys skateboarding. I have a kid that plays the bassoon. I have two kids in high school that play varsity baseball on the same baseball team.

I didn't play any sports as a child. I stuck to music as a child. I have played the guitar for over 25 years. I learned how to play the guitar in grade school.

I wish college was free. I don't get why it is valuable to a school to have students who play instruments.

[Speaker 1] My son has an interview for his top school so we are getting some books to help prep him.

[Speaker 2] Having 2 kids in high school makes me an expert on it. Does your kid plays an instrument?That would help

[Speaker 1] My daughter does! She plays violin. My son doesn't have enough time for music because he is so busy with sports!

[Speaker 2] I know he is a jock and I know you don't want your kids in college on a sport scholarship, but think on how much you are gonna save

[Speaker 1] I just wish college education was free! I don't understand why we have to pay so much to be educated.

[Speaker 2] Payinf for college is for suckers.There are many ways to the an scholarship. My son got one bu just playing the oboe, imagine that!!!!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! It would be great if the kids didn't have to work so hard to get the scholarship, you know?

[Speaker 2] That is good!! He is gonna get that lacrosse scholarship and save you tons of money!! be gratefull he is on sports!!!

[Speaker 1] I sure do hope so! We'll see how he does on his interviews. We have been practicing mock interviews almost weekly.

[Speaker 2] I am sure he will. I bet you are proud of him and also the environmental work your daughter does.

[Speaker 1] Yes. I am a proud parent! I know you are too! You have great kids!

[Speaker 2] Indeed I am .They are both atlhetes, unlike me.I was into jazz in HC.

[Speaker 1] Hey. Sorry it took me so long to respond. How are you?

[Speaker 2] That's ok! I am good! How are you doing?

[Speaker 1] I am well. Just hanging out watching netflix. What are you doing? Do you read?

[Speaker 2] I am watching tv right now, but I do read! I also like to go fishing.

[Speaker 1] Cool! I enjoy hunting but I don't kill animals just kind of sneak up on them haha

[Speaker 2] We both like the outdoors then! I like working out at the park too.

[Speaker 1] I donate time at a local shelter. I love animals! I am petting my dog right now.

[Speaker 2] Dogs are awesome. I like them almost as much as I like cheeseburgers

[Speaker 1] I just ate some ramen. I wish I had a cheese burger. A triple cheeseburger

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious. They're my favorite food, so I eat them a lot.

[Speaker 1] I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] It beats ramen noodles for sure! Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I follow macroeconomics and finance closely. I trade currencies.

[Speaker 2] And you hunt? You seem to be a jack of all trades

I have a Netflix subscription.

I like to hunt but don't like to hurt animals.

I like to donate time at the local animal shelter. I have a dog.

I trade currencies and like macroeconmics and finance.

I read and I like to go fishing.

I like the outdoors. I like working out at parks.

I like dogs a lot.

Cheeseburgers are my favorite food.

[Speaker 1] I decided to binge and drove out to get a nice warm cheeseburger from McDonald's.

[Speaker 2] Aha!  Admit it: that cheeseburger was better than anything you would have made at home, right?

[Speaker 1] Alright, I guess you're right. Sometimes a cheeseburger does hit the spot. I still like the sense of pride that comes from preparing food myself, though.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean. The one thing that might beat a cheeseburger for me is cooking the fish I just caught. I know you hunt - do you like to fish, too?

[Speaker 1] I do. I just started fly fishing this past year. I'm looking forward to the season starting so I can work more on some of my casting. Do you fly fish?

[Speaker 2] No, but I would love to learn.  Such an art.  Everything from making the lures to learning to cast.  Beautiful.  Did you ever see the movie about it, with Brad Pitt?

[Speaker 1] 'A River Runs Through It'? I never saw the movie, but I read the book that it's based on. It was really good. I'd like to get a vice and start tying my own flies as some point, but right now I'm just working on getting better at casting.

[Speaker 2] I'm usually much more into books than movies, and I haven't read that book, but the movie is really beautifully done.  Sometime when you're looking for something on Netflix, you should definitely check it out.  I guess I really don't know much about making flies - what do you use the vice for?

[Speaker 1] I certainly add it to my que. You place the hook in the vice and it holds it in place while you wrap the thread and other materials around the base of the hook. There's certainly an art to it but it seems like it would be a relaxing hobby.

[Speaker 2] I bet you're right. Do you take your dog when you go fly fishing?  Is he the calm type, or would he go crazy, and chase all the fish away?

[Speaker 1] He wouldn't do to well waiting patiently while I fish. When I take him out he demands all of my attention. He's definitely not the calm type, but I like that about him. Keeps me active..

[Speaker 2] Yes, dogs don't really enjoy spending time alone, being introspective - ha ha.  I want a dog so bad, but I'm just afraid I wouldn't have enough time to give one the great life he deserves. If I get one, I'll probably get two.  In for a penny, in for a pound, as they say!

I am old enough to drive.

I like to cook.

I just started fly fishing. I read a book about fly fishing that a movie is based off of. I don't know how to tie my own flies yet, but I would like to after I get better at casting.

I have Netflix. I understand the purpose of a vice.

I read and I like to go fishing. I like working out at parks.

I like dogs a lot.

Cheeseburgers are my favorite food.

I like to fish and cook. I don't know how to fly fish, but I saw a movie about fly fishing featuring Brad Pitt.

I can read and I have a Netflix subscription. I don't know what a vice is used for.

I don't have a dog.

[Speaker 1] Would you be interested in looking after my dog for a day or two to see if you could handle getting one?

[Speaker 2] I woud love to do that. I love dogs. I've always wanted one, so this may be a good trial. What's your dogs name?

[Speaker 1] Her name is Daisy. You should get a dog, they are so much fun!

[Speaker 2] Do you take her when you go fly fishing? Is she an active dog?

[Speaker 1] I do sometimes! She is a lab and she is only 1 year old, so she is pretty active and hyper most of the time. She's always so excited when I take her fishing. Have you been fishing lately?

[Speaker 2] I haven't, the weather has been too sunny. In that movie, it said that fish don't bite as much when it's sunny. I'm planning a trip soon though. I really do miss it.

[Speaker 1] We should plan a trip together one day! I would love to get some tips from you, and I could share with you some of my tips too!

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful. Daisy should come. I am sure you could teach me some pointers when it comes to owning/training a dog.

[Speaker 1] I would love that! Do you know what kind of dog you would want to get?

[Speaker 2] I love huskies, but I feel like where I live the dog would be too hot. Cattle dogs are also very cute. I'm looking for a dog that has a personality. I definitely want to rescue one and avoid buying from a breeder. Did you adopt Daisy?

[Speaker 1] I did! I feel the same way about adopting. It is nice to rescue a dog when there are so many out there needing a home.

[Speaker 2] I was adopted so I know what it's like to be in a foster home situation. I know it's not the same, but I want to give a dog their best chance in this life.

[Speaker 1] I am good taking care of my grandparents

[Speaker 2] That's so sweet of you to care for them!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I had to drop out of school but its worth it

[Speaker 2] Never to late to go back.

[Speaker 1] I plan on it once they're feeling better

[Speaker 2] That is great for you, do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] No I wish do you?

[Speaker 2] Yes a collie named river.

[Speaker 1] That is cute do you have any siblings

[Speaker 2] Oh a whole bunch. We loves to go traveling together each year.

[Speaker 1] That is such a great idea I should do that with my siblings

[Speaker 2] It really alot of fun.

I use humor as a response to serious situations.

My dear ones are my biggest strength and weakness.

I put my all in something I have to have.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you? I love eating hard boiled eggs

[Speaker 2] I'm watching cnn hurricane coverage. Worried about people I know in fl

[Speaker 1] I hope they're all safe

[Speaker 2] Me too. Especially the families. It would be hard for kids to lose their parents.

[Speaker 1] Drawing always makes me happy, I hope they can find happiness

[Speaker 2] I tried drawing but did not try hard enough I guess

[Speaker 1] Drink some tea while drawing, it helps you relax

[Speaker 2] Drinking tea only makes me have to use the restroom!

[Speaker 1] That sucks. Eggs would make it smell bad

[Speaker 2] I would be good at drawing if I wanted to do it because I'm driven

[Speaker 1] I'm driven when it comes to mountain biking

[Speaker 2] I hate bikes. My parents were killed when riding their bikes to the market.

I love eating hard boiled eggs.
Drawing makes me happy.
Drinking tea helps me relax.
I like to mountain bike.

I do not personally like drawing.

I am driven.

I hate bikes. My parents were killed biking.

[Speaker 1] I just had a cup of tea and sat down with my favorite book and I feel so much more relaxed now.

[Speaker 2] I need to find a way to relax, also. Maybe I will make some tea. What book are you reading?

[Speaker 1] I'm reading a book on the stock market - I'm trying to teach myself the basics in order to start investing. Do you like reading?

[Speaker 2] Good for you. That is very dedicated and driven of you. I do like to read. I seem to mostly read non fiction. something educational. What tea is best for relaxing?

[Speaker 1] I like green tea and chamomile, but I'll drink any tea as long as it doesn't have caffeine! What good fiction books do you recommend?

[Speaker 2] I am going to make green tea. Thanks for the motivation. I like to read non fiction, nothing real exciting to other people. My favorite book is the thesaurus. I love learning new words.

[Speaker 1] Haha! That's very interesting. I read non-fiction as well, but mainly memoirs. I read Educated recently and it was very eye-opening. Have you heard of that book?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't heard of it. Is it a memoir? Who is it about? You are always turning me on to new things.

[Speaker 1] It's about a girl who grew up in a rural town. Her father did not believe in education so none of his children ever went to school. The only schooling they got was at home with their mother. The author realized she was missing out on an education so she went on to study on her own and eventually got a good score on the ACT and went on to study at BYU. She now has a PHD.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really interesting. I am looking it up now so that I can buy it online. Are you feeling more relaxed now? Talking to you has helped me relax, actually. You always seem to have a calming effect on me.

[Speaker 1] I checked the book out from my local library but you can find it anywhere! It's very popular. Yes, I'm feeling more relaxed, the tea is starting to take effect.

[Speaker 2] I just purchased the book. I should have it some time next week. We will have to discuss it after I read it. I am glad you are feeling peaceful.

I love eating hard boiled eggs.

Drawing makes me happy.

I like to mountain bike.

I'm trying to learn about the stock market so I can start investing.

I like reading memoirs.  I recently read Educated.

I do not personally like drawing.

I am driven.

I just purchased the book Educated.

[Speaker 1] I just tried a delicious new (to me) tea!  You've got to try it.  It's called Fireberry!

[Speaker 2] I love the name, but tea is one of the most repulsive drinks in the world, slightly flavored hot water. What do you like about it?

[Speaker 1] You have to get the good kind of tea. quality makes a big difference in taste.

[Speaker 2] That's exactly why I stick to non-fiction and primarily thesaurus. I consider myself a civilized man. If I could stomach the tea I would like to sip it with a pinky pointed towards the sky.

[Speaker 1] I think liking tea is way less weird than having your favorite book be a thesaurus. you really need to come over some time and try the GOOD tea.

[Speaker 2] When you say it like that, do you mean tea spiked with a little somethin somethin? I think I understand what you're getting at. I've always been a connoisseur of outer-body experiences.

[Speaker 1] well I mean you can do that. but a good quality tea is very flavorful all on it's own.

[Speaker 2] If we're talking flavor, I'm more of a McDonalds Coke kinda guy. The crisp bubbles just hit different.

[Speaker 1] I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree until I can get you over here for some tea.

[Speaker 2] Or until you can get off your soap box and meet me at McDonalds for brunch, EggMcmuffin and hashbrowns, with a coke, the true breakfast of champions, fuel for the mind.

[Speaker 1] I try to avoid caffeine so I'll have to skip the coke. but we can meet for breakfast sometime. can we pick something better than mcdonalds though?

[Speaker 2] Right on, I've been meaning to try Taco Bell's new breakfast menu. My thesaurus suggests it could be mouthwatering, appetizing, flavorsome, delectable, and even luscious.

I love eating hard boiled eggs.

Drawing makes me happy.

I like to mountain bike.

I enjoy drinking tea and reading. My favorite tea is green tea and chamomile.  I don't like drinking tea with caffeine in it. I tried a new tea called Fireberry. I believe quality makes the biggest difference in tea. I do not think McDonalds Coke is better than tea. I do not think McDonalds is very good.

I do not personally like drawing.

I am driven.

I like to read.  I like non fiction books. My favorite book is the Thesaurus.  I love learning new words. I just purchased the book Educated.

I hate tea.

I am a civilized man. I read non-fiction books, primarily the thesaurus.

I partake in substances that give out-of-body experiences.

I prefer Coke from McDonalds.

McDonalds breakfast is my favorite.

I want to try Taco Bell's breakfast menu.

[Speaker 1] I just place an order for a tea that is like by non tea drinkers. I can give it to you when we meet up for breakfast. I'd love for you to give something new a chance.

[Speaker 2] You really want me to like tea don't you? I guess it won't hurt to try it and prove you wrong once again!

[Speaker 1] I do like helping people make new discoveries. I enjoy helping people see outside their own limits.

[Speaker 2] Tell you what, I'll try your tea and you try my favorite McDonald's breakfast of an Egg McFuffin and hash browns, okay?

[Speaker 1] I guess that is only fair. We can each try something out of comfort zone. Let's promise to be honest about our feedback though!

[Speaker 2] I always am! So when do you think you'll feel confident enough to start investing?

[Speaker 1] Hopefully soon! I am currently looking for a book or two so I can do some research prior. Do you invest?

[Speaker 2] I do. This market is tough to figure out right now though. If I was you I'd invest about half of what you have saved, and hold some back in case the market drops. That way you can buy low.

[Speaker 1] That is great advice! I will likely do that, be a little reserved at first until I have more knowledge. How long ago did you start investing?

[Speaker 2] About twelve years. Right after the big recession, or during actually. What do you do with your money now, just save it?

[Speaker 1] That was smart of you. I wish I would have started then as well. Yes, right now I save it in savings accounts and retirement accounts.

[Speaker 2] Well your retirement account is probably invested in the market I imagine. You should find out. So do you like sports at all?

I served in the armed forces.

I would eat red meat over fish any day.
My car is nothing fancy.
I love elvis.
Water isn't my friend.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hi I just got back from swimming lessons since I do not know how to

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. I just got back from active duty

[Speaker 2] Cool! What is your favorite genre of music?

[Speaker 1] I listen to country, what about you?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is rock! I always blast it on my chevy tahoe

[Speaker 1] I've a chevy too, it was my dads before he went into the military

[Speaker 2] Cool! What is your favorite food?

[Speaker 1] I like any kind of meat, I could eat meat all day, you?

[Speaker 2] Same! I love steak the most!

[Speaker 1] I was a changed man the day I had my first fillet

[Speaker 2] Wow sounds amazing! Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I live in virginia, close to dc. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I live in california but looking to move to europe

I am in the military. I just returned home from active duty.

I like country music.

I live near DC in Virginia.

I am learning to swim.

I drive a Chevy Tahoe.  I like to listen to loud rock music.

Steak is my favorite meat to eat.

[Speaker 1] I heard from my dad in the service.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Did you get to video chat with him? Or was it just a phone call? How is he?

[Speaker 1] No, just got to hear his voice, but it was SO great.  It had been too long - it's hard to do when we're both on active duty.  He sounds good, but maybe a bit run down.  He's stationed in Korea right now.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you got to hear from him. When is he due to get home? Will it be before you head out on another tour?

[Speaker 1] You never know when things might suddenly change, but right now, it looks like he'll be home in July, and I won't have to go anywhere until October.  Looking forward to that time - even if it means giving up "my" truck for a while...

[Speaker 2] Haha. I get that. But there more you share it, the more time you'll have to spend together. I couldn't imagine being away from my dad that long. He lives on the next street over and I can walk to his house in 5 minutes.

[Speaker 1] Wow. That's so great that you appreciate that closeness.  It's hard to think about a time when my dad's not around anymore. Hey, I mentioned you to him. He says you haven't even lived until you've tried steak in Korea. They take their meat very seriously there!

[Speaker 2] Oh, really? I'll add that to my bucket list. I was already planning to go to Japan to have some Kobe beef at some point in the next 5 years. Maybe I'll have to add Korea to the itinerary.

[Speaker 1] Dad says you can get "real" Korean food on the west coast here, but not on the east.  He says if you're in the LA area, he'll give you the name of the best Korean BBQ in the states.

[Speaker 2] That would certainly save me on travel expenses. I live about 3 hours up the coast from LA but I get down there a few times a year. I'll have to check out the place he knows next time I head down. Have you ever been out to LA?

[Speaker 1] Only when I was a kid. We went to Disneyland, and saw some USC basketball.  It was a great father-son trip, but a long time ago now. Hey - maybe I should see if he wants to go out there together again, this summer! That would be a blast. Maybe meet up with you and your Pa, huh?

[Speaker 2] That would be great. I could put you up at my place and we could make a trip into LA for a weekend. Definitely have to hit up that Korean BBQ.

I am in the military.

I like country music.

I also drive a Chevy.  It belonged to my dad who also is in the military.  He is on duty now. It's been a long time since I've talked to him. We are both on active duty.  He's stationed in Korea. He should get home in July. I don't leave until October.

I live near DC in Virginia.

I went to LA as a kid on a father-son trip.  We went to Disneyland and watched some USC basketball.

I am learning to swim.

Steak is my favorite meat to eat.

I live in California but want to move to Europe. I live 3 hours up the coast from LA.

My dad lives on the next street over.  It take me 5 minutes to walk to his house.

I am planning to go to Japan to have some Kobe beef in the next 5 years.  I might add Korea to my bucket list.

[Speaker 1] I got my orders for October!  You'll never guess where I'm going...  It's on your bucket list...  I'm going to Japan!!!

[Speaker 2] No way!  Maybe I can visit you while you're there!  Do you know how long you'll be stationed there?

[Speaker 1] Well, you never really know. It can be like a 4 month tour that turns into like 4 years. But I am hoping it is a short time because I wanted to get to be closer to my family. My niece will be born in like 7 months.. But I am excited about going!

[Speaker 2] That's all exciting stuff!  Nieces and Nephews are so much fun!  How many do you have?  I want to visit Japan in like 1-2 years so if you're there, I'd would be awesome to see you!  Do you know what part of Japan?

[Speaker 1] None yet, that is why I want to be close to home next year. But I found out that my sister was pregnant AFTER they told me that I was going to Japan today! Like it has been such a wild time. Do you have any good recommendations for food choices?

[Speaker 2] Wow.  That really is crazy.  I'm sure you are so excited to meet your first niece!  Hopefully you won't miss the birth.  I really love Yoshinoya, they serve gyudon but like fast food style.  Have you ever had it?  It's so good.  There are a some here in the US.

[Speaker 1] No, I have not had much japanese food, that is why I asked. You seem to be an expert.

[Speaker 2] It's thinly sliced beef with cooked onions on rice.  It's amazing.  They also serve miso soup with it that is so good.  They have a lot of Ramen places and of course sushi.  And if you miss American food you can easily find a McDonald's.  LOL!  You're going to love it there!

[Speaker 1] I have tried ramen before, but probably not the same thing. I don't really like McyD's. I have always been afraid to try sushi due to the raw fish.

[Speaker 2] Do you like rice?!  They eat a lot of rice!  LOL!  The ramen is really good.  There is some vegetarian sushi that's really good.  It just has like avocado, cucumbers, carrots, asparagus... those types of things wrapped in rice.  They have a lot of delicious breads there!  And plenty of good desserts!  All sorts of flavored Kit Kats and ice cream.  They're very creative over there!

[Speaker 1] Oh I will for sure be checking out some vegetarian sushi then! I do love rice. I didn't even know if they used Avocado. I thought that was more of a Mexican thing. I LOVE avocado. it is so amazing. I think you have made me more excited than I was twenty minutes ago

[Speaker 2] You definitely need to try it out, it's really good!  I'm glad I could boost your excitement!  You really will love it there.  It's really clean and the people are so kind.  They'll love you because you're American and will try to speak English to you.  It's awesome!

I am in the military.

I like country music.

I live near DC in Virginia.

I got orders to Japan. I hope I'm only in Japan for a short time to be closer to my family. I will have a niece in 7 months. I don't know yet what part of Japan I will be in. I just found out I will have a niece. I have a sister.

I haven't had much Japanese food.

I have tried ramen. I don't really like McDonalds. I am afraid of sushi since it has raw fish.

I know a lot about Japanese food.

[Speaker 1] I just found out my best friend got orders with me to Japan so I will have a buddy to try new foods with.

[Speaker 2] That's great! It's always have nice to have a friend along when you try something new. Does your friend like Japanese food?

[Speaker 1] I'm not really sure. I haven't asked them.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can both be brave and try sushi!

[Speaker 1] I might have to. but I'm really not wanting to eat it. I'm not really that fond of seafood.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure there will be lots of good things for you to try. Although seafood is pretty big there. What about vegetarian food?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure I'll find plenty of food I do like. I'm not too worried. just not sure I'll be too adventurous though.

[Speaker 2] Well, it's not an opportunity you get everyday, so maybe try to be a little adventurous. You don't want to look back and see you wasted an opportunity to try something new!

[Speaker 1] thanks for the encouragement. I'm not promising anything though. we'll see what happens when we get there. what's your favorite japanese dish?

[Speaker 2] I really like seafood, so I'll try anything with it. Squid is really good!

[Speaker 1] Have you tried the octopus tentacles that move around while your eating it and have killed people because it suctions to their esophagus? lol

[Speaker 2] Lol... well I'm still here so that's never happened to me!

[Speaker 1] Not so great, the team I was rooting for lost. What makes you say you are bad at basketball?

[Speaker 2] Ah, that's too bad. I've just never been able to do well in the sport. I do decently in some other sports though, such as badminton.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I guess those are very different. I don't have room to talk; I don't play any sports, just watch.

[Speaker 2] That's alright. Have you been listening to music lately? I'd love to go to a rock concert sometime soon.

[Speaker 1] Yes I listen to music all day. I haven't been to a concert in awhile but I would like to go soon also. Rock is okay but I like dance music better.

[Speaker 2] Rock is easily my favorite but I certainly wouldn't mind checking some other genres out. You must have heard a lot more than I ever have.

[Speaker 1] Yes music helps me escape the world for a little while, and makes some things much easier to deal with.

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear. You've been through a lot and you deserve something like music to help you.

[Speaker 1] Yes I bought myself a pair of AirPods as a sort of treat, haha.

[Speaker 1] Nickelback and system of the down are playing at this one. It is close to my house.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome, when is it? How much are the tickets? Sorry for all the questions I'm really excited, I've been wanting to go to a rock concert for the longest time.

[Speaker 1] It is going to be this weekend. I got the tickets for free, because i listen to a lot of music, and i was listening to a radio station, and i got through to the radio hosts and they said i won the tickets. So i was hoping you would want to come with me.

[Speaker 2] Of course, that sounds amazing. Thanks! How are you holding up anyway, are you still feeling rough? I can't imagine how it must feel to lose your parents

[Speaker 1] Good, thank you. I really need the time away from my life to pretend like things are better than they are. I am a total mess. I don't know how to cope, and because both my parents died, i need to take care of everything, and i really am so lost on all the stuff i need to do.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. I would help you out but I honestly dont know how. Let me know if there's anything you need at all. I could help you with planning or finances if it eases the burden a little?

[Speaker 1] I really appreciate you offering that. For now, i don't really know what to think and feel. The only things i can really ask of you is to come with me to different events, to make me forget for a little while. Rock concerts seem to be great, get all my anger out with loud screaming lyrics and head banging.

[Speaker 2] Well we'll have a blast at this concert then, I'll make sure of it!

[Speaker 1] Cool. Thank you! Maybe we could go to a basketball game one day too?

[Speaker 2] That sounds good to me, anything, even if it's just hanging out at home I'd be more than happy to do.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun I am going to rehearse before I come over to show you some moves. Maybe after we can go get some hamburgers together.

[Speaker 2] I would love to eat something. There is new craft burgers down the street from my place with 5 star reviews. I would like to taste their black burger

[Speaker 1] That sounds good, maybe we can bike our way down there.

[Speaker 2] That's cool, we also could do bicycle in a park around a lake? By the way I have new bike, cost quite decent amount of money but it is worth it. Do you own a bike or you will borrow?

[Speaker 1] I don't have a bike but I can borrow one from one of my siblings. We should go see a movie I heard there was this new comedy out called Vacations.

[Speaker 1] That sound like a good movie. Three for my brothers and one of my sisters really like horror movies. My sister likes to scare me all the time.

[Speaker 2] She seems a funny, I bet you are tired of her jokes. What was the scariest thing she did to you?

Hamburgers are my favorite food.

[Speaker 1] When do you want to go out for hamburgers?

[Speaker 2] I'm free this weekend if you are! I've been so busy working at the library, I need a breather. Hamburgers will cure me!

[Speaker 1] That is really good news. I feel like this Sunday after 2pm will work best for me. What place gives the best burgers?

[Speaker 2] Works for me as well! They just opened an In-N-Out near my place, we should go there. My younger brother went there yesterday and says they're having a grand opening sale.

[Speaker 1] I wonder how many times we can get in the line without them noticing us there. Maybe we can use my siblings cars for more grand opening deals haha

[Speaker 2] Haha that's a great idea what with the amount of sibling you have! I can't wait! When is your next ballet show anyway? I want to come see you perform again.

[Speaker 1] My next show is Sunday morning, that is why after 2pm works. I can always get you a ticket if you want to come see me dance. Do you want just one or two tickets?

[Speaker 2] I can't believe I'm just finding out about this now! Of course I have to be there. My boyfriend will actually be busy helping my dad out with some stuff so it'll just be me. This actually works out great! You get to have a nice meal after a hard day at work.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I feel like it will be so much fun and I can show off my skills to you! How are you and your boyfriend doing?

[Speaker 2] I can't wait to see it! Jeff and I are doing fine. We've just moved in to a new place so we're getting used to it. It's a lot more spacious than our previous apartment.

[Speaker 1] I have yet to visit. Maybe we can plan dinner for one of these weeks so we can all catch up like old times! You guys already had a pretty awesome apartment.

[Speaker 2] Yeah well since I was promoted to head librarian at the university my paycheck has gotten a little bigger so we figured it was time for a new place. We'll definitely have a "housewarming" party once we get settled in!

Hamburgers are my favorite food.

I like comedy movies.

I am a ballet dancer. I work all the time rehearsing for my work. My next show is Sunday morning.

I don't own a bike.

I have a boyfriend.

I am not active, I hate working out and really need to.

I have diabetes. I am sensitive about my weight. I have a new bicycle.

I like horror movies.

I have a younger brother Jeff.  We've just moved in to a new place. It's a lot more spacious than our previous apartment.

I was promoted to head librarian at the university .

[Speaker 1] Oh my Gosh! Sometimes my siblings makes me nuts!!!

[Speaker 2] Yes, Im sure! 14 siblings is a lot to handle!! Do you also like watching horror movies with your siblings or do your siblings scare you too much?

[Speaker 1] It depends on whether it's a movie i've seen before. They like to do things like scream out of nowhere or sneak up behind me and I miss parts of the movie sometimes

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'm sure that must get tiresome. My younger brother also likes to scare me. I find that chasing them after usually discourages them from that at least for a little while

[Speaker 1] I might have to try that since scaring them back never seems to work. How is the new place working out for you? Still enjoying it better than your last place?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's been a dream thanks for asking! Especially considering my recent promotion it's nice to have extra space to unwind after a long day. Speaking of which, I never asked you, do you and all your siblings together? Or do all of you live separate these days?

[Speaker 1] We all live separate but still spend a lot of time with each other. We see each other almost every day.

[Speaker 2] Thats so cute! I'm glad you guys are so close even though they get on your nerves. I don't get to see my little brother that often. What with work, school and the new place I hardly get time to see my family.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry. It must be difficult to not see them very much. Some days it's difficult for us to find any time with each other around everyone's schedules but we do our best to make it work.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'm sure!! Thats quite a lot of schedules to work around. Do you think they will be able to make it to your show on Sunday? I do hope they'll be able to go support you, even if it is just some of them.

[Speaker 1] My sister is coming and two of my brothers. Everyone else has to work that day or have plans with their families.

[Speaker 2] Ah, thats okay then. Maybe Jeff and I will swing by to see the performance. If not, I'm sure we'll come see one sometime soon!

[Speaker 2] I'm doing great! My son likes that book did you like it

[Speaker 1] How old is he? I just turned ten years old

[Speaker 2] He is about the same age. Do you have any brothers or sisters?

[Speaker 1] No I am an only child but have a friend named abigail

[Speaker 2] I've 3 brothers and 2 sisters it was crazy at times

[Speaker 1] My mom has me enrolled in a martial arts class after school

[Speaker 2] That is good you might like it

[Speaker 1] I really do like it already had several classes

[Speaker 2] It teaches discipline too. I'm an er nurse so I don't see my son that much

[Speaker 1] My mom is a nurse too!

[Speaker 2] That is cool does she work at a hospital too

[Speaker 1] Yes she works in labor and delivery

[Speaker 2] Aww she gets to see all the adorable babies

My son is around 10 years old.
I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters.
I am an ER nurse.
I work in a hospital.

[Speaker 1] I started reading the next harry potter book today. Did your son read all of them?

[Speaker 2] Wow! That's actually the favorite book in our household. We read all seven books multiple times as a family.

[Speaker 1] I like it so far. I hope my mom will buy the rest of the books for me.

[Speaker 2] If she doesn't you can always check them out at your local library. They are so popular that usually libraries have multiple copies of the Harry Potter books. What other books do you like?

[Speaker 1] I really like books about martial arts. I try to learn new moves so I can show my teacher when I go to my classes after school. Does your son do anything like that?

[Speaker 2] My son does not practice martial arts but he is really into other sports like lacrosse and paintball. Do you play either of those?

[Speaker 1] no. since my mom is so busy working as a nurse at the hospital she does not have time to take me to anything else. Do you like being a nurse? I know it can be gross with sick people.

[Speaker 2] Being an ER nurse is stressful but rewarding. A lot of people come in with life threatening things or injuries and we're able to get them stable and make sure they survive. It's tiring but I do enjoy my work.

[Speaker 1] My mom helps women have babies. since i don't have any brothers or sisters she will let me go see the babies sometimes. They are cute but cry a lot.

[Speaker 2] Yes, babies cry a lot, but they are really cute once they start laughing and playing. I don't get to deliver babies as part of my job but I do like to go to the third floor where all the newborns are to look at them. Do you wish you had siblings?

[Speaker 1] I would like a brother. But, girls are so silly I don't think I would want a sister.

[Speaker 2] I have both - and they are all fun in different ways! Sometimes I do wish I was an only child. My house as a kid got so loud some days it was hard to get anything done.

I am 10 years old. i am an only child.  I go to school.

I have a family. HArry potter is my favorite book. I like to read.

I like looking at newborn babies.

[Speaker 1] I finished the first book of harry potter, it was great! Where can i buy the second?

[Speaker 2] I think you could get it at a local bookstore or just go on Amazon. I think they sell anything and everything!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I will have to ask my mom to buy it for me. She has a prime account. Has your son read all of them yet?

[Speaker 2] I think he has, honestly. But he's moved on to other things now like paintball. You ever play paintball?

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't been paintballing yet. I have heard it is fun!

[Speaker 2] He's always looking for new players for his team! It's a lot of fun, I even tried it once.

[Speaker 1] How did you like it? I am worried that it will hurt if I get hit!

[Speaker 2] As long as you wear a few layers of clothing it's pretty safe and doesn't hurt. He's also respectful of other players and won't injure them intentionally :)

[Speaker 1] I never thought about that. Thanks for the tip! Sounds like it would be a lot of fun to play with your son. When is his next game?

[Speaker 2] I think he does it every Saturday, so only a few days away. Depends on his friends too and if they are available

[Speaker 1] Nice! Sometimes I have martial arts competitions on Saturdays. Usually only once a month though. You should talk to my mom and see if she will let me play next Satuday!

[Speaker 2] I'll have to do that! Martial arts sounds like fun as well, what do you do for it?


Its good to eat a lot of veggies.
I like meat too much.
I m lazy and pork tastes good.
I do the shopping in my house.

I m applying for publishing jobs.

My favorite color is green.

The only autographs I ve ever wanted are from authors.

My mother is a librarian.

I used to wear glasses as a child.

I chow down on vegetables, they are very nutritious.

I am a serious carnivore.

I get takeout from barbeque often.

I'm the person who grocery shops.

I'd like to be employed.
I like the tone of cash.
I admire people who write books.
I grew up in a library.
When I was a kid I wore eyeglasses.

[Speaker 1] So any exciting plans for the evening?

[Speaker 2] Reading a book my mom brought home from the library.

[Speaker 1] Do you enjoy reading often?

[Speaker 2] Yes and I wore glasses as a child years ago.

[Speaker 1] Does your mom do the shopping, I always get stuck doing it

[Speaker 2] Yes but I do some of it as well.

[Speaker 1] The upside is that I get to buy as much bacon as I want

[Speaker 2] That's funny, I like bacon also. What is your favorite color I like green.

[Speaker 1] I like the color green too, I should eat more green food though

[Speaker 2] Yes. I agree green vegetables are good for you. I love to bake.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, what is your favorite treat to bake?

[Speaker 2] Cakes and brownies. My birthday is on monday looking forward to cake then!

[Speaker 1] Hope you don't have to make your own cake, happy birthday!

[Speaker 2] No. I will not, thank you, when is your birthday?

I love reading.  I used to wear glasses as a child.

Favorite color is green.

I love to bake cake and brownies. I celebrate my birthday recently.

[Speaker 1] Have you baked anything good lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I baked a chocolate cake. What about you?

[Speaker 1] No, I am a terrible baker!  How did the cake turn out?

[Speaker 2] Great thank you, it was lovely. What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I like to read and watch movies.  Are you a professional baker?

[Speaker 2] I love movies, what is your favourite? No, I am not a professional baker, I am not talented enough.

[Speaker 1] Oh.  I like horror movies the most.  Do you bake for family and friends?

[Speaker 2] Same I love horror movies and yes! My friends really enjoy my cakes, I will have to bake for you at one point.

[Speaker 1] Sounds yummy!  Did you bake your own birthday cake for your birthday recently, or did you buy one?

I am a terrible baker.
I like to read and watch movies.
I like horror movies.

Favorite color is green.

I love horror movies.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen any horror movies?

[Speaker 2] You have no idea! I could list 100 reccomendations on the spot.

[Speaker 1] Can you recommend a few? I haven't seen any good ones lately.

[Speaker 2] My favorite is The Butterfly Effect, but the second and third one are not great. Antebellum is great if you have strong political opinions and wanna see slave owners get mauled.

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. I will have to watch Antebellum. Thank you for the suggestion. Have you baked anything lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've been perfecting my brownie recipe. Have you practiced any of the baking techniques I shared with you? I think they would really help you.

[Speaker 1] Yum! I love brownies! I tried a few of the techniques, but no luck. I burned the last three attempts I made. I can't seem to get the timing right.

[Speaker 2] I could drown in a brownie's richness! They say the more often you burn your food, the more likely you are to want something more exciting in life. Maybe we should go on a road trip to alleviate your pain.

[Speaker 1] Well if that is true, I must really want an exciting life! I heard there is a horror movie marathon in Pittsburg next weekend. That would be fun.

[Speaker 2] Oh I've always wanted an authentic philly cheese steak! I'll bring along some goodies we can sneak into the theater with.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! I can buy us some soft drinks. That will be my contribution since I can't bake.

[Speaker 1] I'm in northern texas so I've avoided both of them thankfully. I love the outdoors though.

[Speaker 2] Nice nice. I'm in southern texas. Harvey didn't hit here bad.

[Speaker 1] Thank goodness. My new gf is from houston. Her whole family was affected

[Speaker 2] Damn. My family just moved to houston. I feel bad for rockport.

[Speaker 1] There's a good biking trail down there I've been on. I hope irma isn't as bad

[Speaker 2] Yeah. Irma looks pretty powerful. Jose looks derby though.

[Speaker 1] Hopefully it still is by the time it reaches land

[Speaker 2] I got married when I was your age to my sweat heart from high school

[Speaker 1] That is nice. My sweetheart married someone else.

[Speaker 2] Oh that isn't good

[Speaker 1] I am okay now. I turned to sports to get over it.

[Speaker 2] What kind of athlete are you? All 3 of my kids are into sports

[Speaker 1] I run, very fast. I can do marathons, too.

[Speaker 2] They only drink flavored water but I always have to have soda with me

[Speaker 1] I gave up soda. I want to stay healthy.

[Speaker 2] Running is good for a lot of sports. Even softball, you can steal more bases

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can do many things. Maybe basketball even.

[Speaker 2] Focus on that and do not mess up your life

[Speaker 1] My friends are not always around.

[Speaker 2] Well, you could try fishing!

[Speaker 1] I want to be in a place where its about me for once.

[Speaker 2] How come it is not about you?

[Speaker 1] Because my parents are selfish people. Even though I do well in school its about them

[Speaker 2] Well, that'sn't fun!

[Speaker 1] Even though I draw in class instead of taking notes I still get straight as

[Speaker 2] Well, as are a good thing to have!

[Speaker 1] They want me live vicariously through me... I hate it when they do that.

[Speaker 2] Do they get mad at you?

[Speaker 1] They do, and it is my responsibility to make them happy when they take things.

[Speaker 2] I think it is there thing, not yours

[Speaker 1] I have had money taken from me and it made me mad, because I owed them.

[Speaker 2] I don't think you owed them!

[Speaker 1] Well that is what they said because they raised me why have me then?

[Speaker 2] That is a horrible thing to say!

[Speaker 1] Your telling me. I'm sorry I will go, thanks for talking with me.

[Speaker 2] You don't have to go if you don't want to!

[Speaker 1] Well I think its more like just don't know what to say.. About it

[Speaker 2] Well, could you just tell them how you feel?

[Speaker 1] I've and they don't listen. They prefer to just pretend like its not happening

[Speaker 2] Well, that's not good, and I don't think it is right

[Speaker 1] I do not think so either. I'm sorry for venting like this it makes me mad.

[Speaker 2] No, it is totally fine, I'm here to listen

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much for listening.

[Speaker 2] Oh, you are welcome, anytime!

My name is Sam. I have long hair for a guy.

I have no daughters. I want to live in a fantasy world.

My parents are selfish. I hate when my parents want to live vicariously through me. My parents don't listen to me.

I get straight A's in school.

I have four daughters.
I like to go fishing.

[Speaker 1] Have you talked to anyone about the way your parents are treating you?

[Speaker 2] I am happy with my parents, but it sounds like yours are troubling. I am here for you if you want to share.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I know being a parent is hard but sometimes I feel like being  a son to parents is being harder.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. My brother and father always butted heads. You are not alone.

[Speaker 1] Yes, people sometimes behave like that. But it is continues you can't be cool all the time.

[Speaker 2] I imagine it makes the holidays tough. Did you see them for Thanksgiving?

[Speaker 1] Of course but I always try to find a way to avoid it even though it won't work.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever tried going fishing together? I love fishing because it peaceful and might be a nice way to spend time together.

[Speaker 1] I would love to. Thank you for asking me. I am so ready for this.

[Speaker 2] I am happy to teach you how to fish so you can share it with your family to try and bond and break the ice.

[Speaker 1] Okay. So text me the time and date . I will be ready.

[Speaker 2] I am free all weekend. I would love to teach you!

I get straight A's in school.

I recently saw my parents for Thanksgiving. However, I try to avoid seeing them. I may try going fishing with my parents. I am willing to learn to fish.

I have 4 daughters.

I am willing to listen to other people's issues.

I have a brother and a father. My brother and father do not get along well at times.

I enjoy fishing as it is peaceful.

[Speaker 1] I told my parents that I would like to go fishing with them.

[Speaker 2] I think that's great. It could be the first step towards building a better relationship with your parents.

[Speaker 1] I asked if we could go to the park near us, They have  a place that I see people fish. What kind of bait to I take?

[Speaker 2] The type of bait you use depends on the type of fish you're trying to catch. If you're just going out to have fun and enjoy the park, I would say that rubber worms would work just fine.

[Speaker 1] rubber worms sound funny. Should I also get some rubber ducks...LOL... I really don't know much about fishing. do you take your daughters fishin?

[Speaker 2] LOL! I guess it does sound pretty funny! Only one of my daughters likes to fish. Her name is Samantha, and she's 17. My other daughters think fishing is gross. LOL!

[Speaker 1] Well, I have heard about people needing to put real worms on hooks and that does sound gross. I didn't even think about this.....What do I do if I catch a fish? do we throw it back or am I to cook it or something?

[Speaker 2] I agree about the worms. I usually use fake insects because I don't enjoy hooking live bait either. You can do either one with the fish. If you like fish, you can put your catch in a cooler and take it home. If you don't want to eat, just throw it back. No one in my family likes to eat fish. I always throw mine back. Do you think you might cook yours?

[Speaker 1] I never thought too much about it. I know I want to catch the fish and I would like to spend time with my folks . I mean, If they aren't going to lecture me. Now I am having second thoughts about fishing with them. Can we still meet up this weekend to fish? I think i need a lot of help in this area

[Speaker 2] Absolutely we can! I've got an extra pole you can use. I'll show you all the basics. Do your parents know anything a lot about fishing? When it comes to seeing your parents, I'd say just don't overthink it. Plan an afternoon of fishing and just see how it goes. Hopefully everyone can just stay focused on the fishing.

[Speaker 1] I would be so grateful for your help. I'll bring the snacks and you bring the rubber worms..LOL....What kind of snacks do you like?

[Speaker 2] LOL! Sounds perfect! I love food in general. Haha! Anything salty would make me happy. Goldfish crackers are my favorite, and I love any kind of chips.

I get straight A's in school.

I have 4 daughters.

I enjoy fishing as it is peaceful.

I am available to teach my friend how to fish all weekend long. I use rubber worms. I've got an extra pole.

Only one of my daughters likes to fish. Her name is Samantha, and she's 17. Dislike it.

I don't enjoy hooking live bait. No one in my family likes to eat fish. I always throw mine back

I love food in general. nything salty would make me happy. Goldfish crackers are my favorite, and I love any kind of chips.

[Speaker 1] Maybe, let us try to cook some fish dishes.

[Speaker 2] Lets do it, I wish my family liked fish as much as we do

[Speaker 1] Can you believe the haul we had!? I told you to throw some back but you were so excited for a fish buddy. hahahaha

[Speaker 2] I know! I usually throw them back but we were having such a good day! What kind of dishes can we try to make??

[Speaker 1] I need something summery with a mango salsa. Maybe just on the grill?

[Speaker 2] Grilled fish sounds so good, my mouth is watering right now. Could I bring some salmon to grill?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! It would actually be really cool to learn how to do. Maybe I can copy some of our fish dishes and make them dinner after we fish together.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan! Have you gone fishing before we went?

[Speaker 1] Sorry, I meant make my parents dinner. I think they would be proud if I did that. Haha nope- you taught me everything I know lol

[Speaker 2] Wow that is actually shocking, you were a natural out there! We have to go again sometime soon

[Speaker 1] I loved it! Maybe you could come with me and my parents. Make it both more and less awkward hahaha

[Speaker 2] I'd love to if they'd have me. Fishing is so relaxing

[Speaker 2] yeah it sound pretty wild woo thats crazy compared to me, i was just playing basketball

[Speaker 1] Being a part time bouncer is sure interesting.  The bar I work at is a college bar, so things do get a bit crazy at times.  For now though, while I am in school it puts a little money in my pocket.  I am studying law.  What do you do at the law firm?

[Speaker 2] everything about law. are you trying to become too?

[Speaker 1] I would like to be a trial attorney someday.  First though I need to get into law school.  I have applied to several but haven't heard back from any of them yet.  What law school did you go to?

[Speaker 2] I know you will. yeah they love so play almost everyday in the afternoons , but i am getting old man haha they have so much energy

[Speaker 1] I used to play a lot of basketball and I miss it.  Now, between school and part time job, I don't have much time to play anymore.  I haven't been around young kids for so long that I forgot how much energy they have.  On the other hand, they keep you young!  How old are your kids?

[Speaker 2] yeah they have a lot and it sucks cause i don't drink sodas anymore

I work as a part time bouncer at a bar. I am in school studying law. I want to be a trial attorney.

I used to play a lot of basketball. I don't have much time anymore.

[Speaker 2] It has it's ups and downs. like every career does I'm sure. do you know where you'll apply after school?

[Speaker 1] I have not thought that far ahead yet, school has been really stressful lately. Do you have any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] I can do some research and send you a list later. I can even ask some of my colleagues if they have any leads for you.

[Speaker 1] That would be great! How much longer do you think it will be until you retire?

[Speaker 2] probably less than 6 months. I have a few things I need to finish up but I'm done after that.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it will be nice once you retire! You will get to spend more time with your kids!

[Speaker 2] I'm very much looking forward to that. I feel like I missed out on so much of their early years. I can't wait to make up for it now.

[Speaker 1] How old are your kids now?

I am a deaf man.
I sometimes scratch my nose for fun.
I never learned how to drive.

I'm still getting used to the lifestyle of california after living in japan for so long.

I'm a musical person.

[Speaker 1] Hello. Unfortunately, I'm a man that is deaf.

[Speaker 2] Hello there how are you ok

[Speaker 1] Good. For fun I scratch my nose and 7 is the best number.

[Speaker 2] Ya of coarse 7 is a lucky number why did you scratch your nose

[Speaker 1] I never, sadly, learned the ways of driving.

[Speaker 2] Do what I do, just walk. I like to walk my dog

[Speaker 1] I don't know, scratching your nose is fun. Try it.

[Speaker 2] Ok, its painful. I live in los angeles

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry it caused you pain. Do you like los angeles?

[Speaker 2] Yes is much better than here

[Speaker 1] If I knew how to drive, I would visit.

[Speaker 2] Ok when did you become deaf

[Speaker 1] I was just born this way.

[Speaker 2] So how are are you typing

[Speaker 1] Just because you are deaf doesn't mean you cannot type lol

[Speaker 2] I know but did you have to take a class a special class to type

I am deaf.
My favorite number is 7.
I do not drive.

I have a dog
I live in Los Angeles

[Speaker 1] What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a cocker spaniel, he's really active

[Speaker 1] I bet he keeps the house in motion.

[Speaker 2] He really does. Have you got any pets?

[Speaker 1] I do not have one right now.  I had a cat named Zazzles.  He was a bit aloof.

[Speaker 2] That's always the way with cats! I like dogs because they show a lot of companionship. Have you been out and about at all today?

[Speaker 1] I have, I took out the trash.  It is cold here.  I always thought Zazzles was watching, waiting for his big chance, then he would pounce. Sometimes he pounced on me.

[Speaker 2] Is it trash day with you? Ours gets collected on a Friday. It's quite nice and warm where I am. Has it snowed at yours?

[Speaker 1] Snow yesterday, snow tomorrow.  Free beer today. Ha.  Take the dog for a walk while it is nice out OK.

[Speaker 2] Free beer?! Sounds good! Are you at school or working?

[Speaker 1] It is very hard to have a full time job and not drive.  I guess I am in between jobs. Are there jobs within walking distance where you are?

[Speaker 2] I'll bet! Have you considered learning to drive? Or is the hearing loss a problem with that? I'm lucky enough to drive and have a car but I live near a train station so I can use that to get to work if I need to

I am deaf.

My favorite number is 7.

I previously owned a cat named Zazzles.

it is snowing with me. i am not working at the moment. i do not drive.

I live in Los Angeles

I have a cocker spaniel dog. I prefer dogs to cats.

it is warm near me.

I live near a train station. I drive a car.

[Speaker 1] It has warmed up considerably, I may go for a walk myself now.

[Speaker 2] I love walks! Especially in nice weather after a long winter. Does Zazzles like to go on walks too?

[Speaker 1] Yes, he did. Just not with me haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha, sounds like a cat. My little guy wouldn't go without me. Sometimes I'll even take him in the car to go run errands and such. How long have you owned Zazzles?

[Speaker 1] I had him for 8 years but he's been living with my sister since I got married. My wife is allergic to cats sadly.

[Speaker 2] Ah, I see. That's too bad. I prefer dogs, but I don't mind cats. How long ago did you get married?

[Speaker 1] Coming up on a year now! It's been amazing getting to spend every day with my best friend.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense! I wish I could have something like that. How did you meet her?

[Speaker 1] We met at a disability support group. She's not deaf but her brother is so she was really able to understand me. I hope you can meet the right person someday too.

[Speaker 2] That's really cool. Did she speak sign language already, or did you help her learn?

[Speaker 1] She could already sign so I didn't really have to teach her anything. I can read lips as well so we have no problems communicating.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Did you date long before you got married? It kind of sounds like a perfect match!

I am deaf.

My favorite number is 7.

I previously owned a cat named Zazzles. I had him for 8 years but he's been living with my sister since I got married. My wife is allergic to cats.

I am married for a year. I met my wife at a disability support group. She's not deaf but her brother is so she was really able to understand me. She could already sign so I didn't really have to teach her anything. I can read lips as well so we have no problems communicating.

I live in Los Angeles

I have a cocker spaniel dog. I prefer dogs to cats but I don't mind cats..

it is warm near me.

I love walks. Especially in nice weather after a long winter.

[Speaker 1] Oh. the life is so unconvenient without driving skills!

[Speaker 2] That's true, I'm glad you have your wife to drive you around and care for you!

[Speaker 1] I am very fortunate to have her to wheel me around. I'm hoping to get a job soon, so having her to drive me will make it easier to get to work.

[Speaker 2] Where do you plan on working? I work in retail at a store, it isn't much but it pays the bills.

[Speaker 1] Retail might be challenging for me because I might have trouble communicating because I don't always get it right when reading lips. I would love to work with deaf children as an instructor, counselor, or coach.

[Speaker 2] I think you would be excellent as an instructor or counselor! I tried being a tutor for children once, but I didn't like dealing with kids.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for your vote of confidence in me. Kids can be annoying sometimes, but I think I have the patience and demeanor to deal with them, and I'd love to help disadvantaged children feel better about themselves.

[Speaker 2] Of course! I don't have experience with kids or want any in the future, so it was not a good job for me. What kinds of things do you think you would teach them as an instructor?

[Speaker 1] I'd like to share my experiences as a deaf individual to give them strength, hope, and increased self-esteem to take on the challenges of the world. I'd love to do animal therapy with them too. I can't have a cat at home because of my wife, so if I could bring dogs and cats around the kids, I think it would make them happy along with myself. How's your cocker spaniel doing?

[Speaker 2] I love how passionate you are about this and I really hope it works out! My dog is doing great, if you got a dog we could have dog dates!

[Speaker 1] Thank you! If I can convince my wife to let me get a dog I just might. The weather is gorgeous lately. I'm sure you've been taking your dog out for some nice walks.

[Speaker 2] I have been! My dog loves the nice weather and always wants to go outside. I could help convince your wife by bringing her over sometime too!

[Speaker 1] My dad left the family... But I appreciate the thought!

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry. You seem to have had a rough life.

I like honest people.
I am bald.
I have a parrot named parrot.
My mom doesn't love me.
My dad left the family.

I am a barista.
I have a pet named Jasper.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen many more bald men at your job?

[Speaker 2] No, not too many. How long have you had parrot? What kind of parrot is he/she?

[Speaker 1] I have had my parrot for about 1 year. He is a medium sized parrot, a yellow cockatiel.

[Speaker 2] Cool! Is he hard to take care of? I've never had a parrot.

[Speaker 1] He is pretty easy to take care of, although sometimes he can be loud! What does Jasper like to do?

[Speaker 2] I can imagine! I've seen many funny videos of talking birds and they seem quite loud, although entertaining. Jasper is a kitten, so he likes to chase balls around and snuggle.

[Speaker 1] Jasper sounds much more cuddly than my parrot. Where did you get Jasper?

[Speaker 2] Jasper is a rescue. I found him on PetFinder. There are so many animals on their that need to be adopted. Have you ever had another pet besides Parrot?

[Speaker 1] That is cool! I have heard of PetFinder before. I did have a small dog growing up, but my dad took him with him when he left when I was younger. Besides that I have only ever had Parrot.

[Speaker 2] That must have been sad to lose your dad and your dog, but I'm glad you have Parrot now.

[Speaker 1] Yes, Parrot is good company. I may get another dog in the future. What about you and Jasper, do you have plans to add another pet to the family?

[Speaker 2] Maybe we will get a puppy, but I will have to see how Jasper reacts to other dogs first. Do you plan to get other pets or more birds?

I like honest people.

I am bald.

I have a parrot named parrot.  I got my parrot a year ago. My parrot is a male cockatiel.

I used to have a dog. I only have one pet now. I want to get a dog in the future.

I am a barista.

I have a kitten named Jasper. I have not owned a parrot.

I adopted my kitten from PetFinder.

[Speaker 1] How is Jasper doing? Has he gotten any bigger?

[Speaker 2] He is getting huge! Almost a full sized cat now, which actually makes me a little sad. Have you thought any more about getting a dog?

[Speaker 1] I bet he's changing every day! I've been thinking about it but I'm not sure it's the right time.

[Speaker 2] Why don't you go for a kitten? Much lower maintenance than a dog and so friendly (most of the time).

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure how a kitten would do with Parrot. Though I suppose they'd get used to each other especially since the bird is already here. Have you ever had cats and birds together?

[Speaker 2] Ah that's a good point. I forgot about Parrot. I haven't, you would probably have to do some research into that. Although surely a cat would be as good with a parrot as a dog would be?

[Speaker 1] That's true, at least Parrot wouldn't learn to bark lol. Maybe I'll think about a young cat or kitten. Parrot is fun but birds don't exactly sit on your lap and cuddle.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, although they are so so clever sometimes I think they would make a great pet.Can Parrot do any tricks?

[Speaker 1] He says a few words and steps up on your arm when you ask. I've been watching some videos on how to teach him more. He's pretty smart and learns quickly.

[Speaker 2] That's pretty impressive I'd say! My kitten definitely can't do any of those things. I don't think it's possible to train a cat, sadly.

[Speaker 1] I've seen some videos of cats doing tricks too, I think it maybe takes longer to train them though.

[Speaker 2] Aw really? I'll have to check out the videos - where did you see them?

[Speaker 1] I went to church the other day.

[Speaker 2] yeah? thats amazing how was is it? I was watching empire.

[Speaker 1] It was just what I needed after a stressful week at work and school. It helps me keep things into perspective. What do you like about Empire?

[Speaker 2] I think everything about empire is great. what does people in the church think about your pink hair?

[Speaker 1] My church is pretty progressive compared to what people think church is like. They definitely follow the come as you are saying. Would you ever go to church?

[Speaker 2] I would go to the one love the mindset. I live in arizona an people is different here

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry there is not an open-minded church near you. You're always welcome to mine if you are ever in Michigan. How do you like Arizona otherwise?

I love pink. I have pink hair.

I'm from Michigan, Grand Rapids area.

I work and go to school.

I have two older brothers and a sister.

I like yo gotti.

I watch empire.

I live in Arizona. I have never lived outside of my hometown.

I would like to visit Michigan.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] If you come to Michigan I can show you some of my favorite spots.

[Speaker 2] That would be awsome!  What fun things are there to do in Grand Rapids?

[Speaker 1] We can go floating, kayaking, camping, hiking, really anything you can think of outdoors! My favorite thing to do is go floating down the lazier parts if the river, great way to get a tan! Do you like being outdoors or do you prefer to be inside?

[Speaker 2] I tend to be indoor person being from Arizona.  Can't be outside too long or you get cooked to a crisp.  But I would love to try the outdoor things.  So, why the fascination with pink - which I love on you?

[Speaker 1] That's true, I forgot how hot it gets over in Arizona. The heat never gets too unbearable over here, and as long as you have a really good sunscreen you never get burned! Pink's always been my favorite color, it's my mom's favorite color too. One day I was walking by a salon after having a pretty rough day and I thought, why not just try it out? God will love me no matter what my hair color is!

[Speaker 2] I agree with you about God.  He loves everyone no matter what they look like.  Tell me about your church?  I was thinking about going to one.

[Speaker 1] You should come visit and I'll bring you to mine, they're very very accepting of new people from all different backgrounds. Every service is more like a family get together, everyone is close and has a bunch of fun while we talk about God and all of the wonderful things he does for us. We even have a karaoke party afterwards! Do you like to sing?

[Speaker 2] Well, I like watching empire and I love the rapper yo gotti so I would like to try to sing.

[Speaker 1] Perfect, you'll fit right in! My church isn't like most churches in my opinion. They won't judge you based off the shows you watch or the music you listen to. They only care if you have a big accepting heart like Jesus would want us to. I love to sing to Ariana Grande and Katy Perry, we can have a duet in case you get shy!

[Speaker 2] That is so cool!  What is it like to have siblings?  I'm an only child.

[Speaker 1] It's okay, they act like children often so sometimes I feel like I'm the oldest sibling, even though I'm the youngest! Does it ever get lonely being an only child?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it does.  I have friends but sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister to do things.
