[Speaker 1] Hi names greg single and love bacon

[Speaker 2] You sound like quite the catch. Ever go fishing greg?

[Speaker 1] Yeah bacon wrapped cod is good on the beach

[Speaker 2] Yum! I will make that next time I head down to the creek.

[Speaker 1] Spring time is amazing out here

[Speaker 2] Where are you living greg?

[Speaker 1] Bob ross got me started in painting I live in montana

[Speaker 2] He was the man. His paintings remind me of where I fish.

[Speaker 1] Nice, I work in graphic arts how about you

[Speaker 2] I'm retired, I just go fishing and pound brews.

[Speaker 1] I will be retired when my nephew shows me he's ready to take over

[Speaker 2] I hope he's u too it.

[Speaker 1] I would like to retire before I am senior

[Speaker 2] I retired at 30, I am so rich. Not rich with fish though, no good ones.

[Speaker 1] Well I'm 33 so maybe I'm right behind you

[Speaker 2] The only thing behind me is a bucket of sunfish, not good eating.

My name is Greg. I am single. I love bacon. I live in Montana.

I work in graphic arts.

I am not retired yet. I have a nephew.

I am not senior.

I am 33.

I am retired. I go fishing.
I retired at 30. I am so rich.

[Speaker 1] I really like to start traveling after retiredness; go around the world, see other places

[Speaker 2] That's really great relaxation after retirement. I love traveling and want to go all around the world.

[Speaker 1] What would be the first place you would travel to?

[Speaker 2] I have travel many places. Next I am planning to go to New Zealand. What is your favorite place?

[Speaker 1] I really enjoyed Barcelona.  It was a mix of old and new.  Have you done any fishing lately?

[Speaker 2] I love to go to Barcelona too. That is in my bucket list. Were you able to catch any fish?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm not a very good at fishing.   I just enjoy being on the water.  The waves are relaxing.  It was fun taking my nephew out there.  He didn't catch anything either.

[Speaker 2] the good thing was you both enjoyed.  Do you have your own graphic art company?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I really enjoy making graphic art and I wanted to be my own boss.  It is challenging but a lot of fun.  What's it like to be retired at 30?

[Speaker 2] i worked really hard till age 30. now I have enough to enjoy my life and I do bit investments here and there.

[Speaker 1] Good for you!  Any suggestions for investments?

[Speaker 2] stock could be a good investment, but lot of risk involed.

I work in graphic arts.

I am not retired yet. I have a nephew. I am 33.

My favorite place is Barcelone. It was a mix of old and new.

I own a boat.

I own my own company.

I am retired. I go fishing.

I retired at 30. I am so rich. I have investments.

I am planning to travel to New zealand next.

[Speaker 1] I started looking into all this cryptocurrency stuff. Do you think money can be made still, or did that ship sail?

[Speaker 2] Oh, it definitely can! People thought Bitcoin might hit $50k by the end of the year and it did it by mid-February! Some stores are going to accept it as currency, too. Once that happens, watch it go up even higher!

[Speaker 1] It seems like it keeps going up and up. I just wish I had hopped on it when you could like 500 bitcoins for a $1, feels like you can't make "too" much money on it now compared to then.

[Speaker 2] I hear you. I remember people talking about it back then. It's suggested it might hit $100k by the end of the year now, with the current growth. Now that you can buy fractional shares from some brokerages, you can just put in like $20 or whatever and just let it ride.

[Speaker 1] I might do that though I'm sure the days of somehow turning $20 into 2 million dollars have passed. I know there's all kinds of other cryptocurrencies out there but I'm not sure which ones are worth buying.

[Speaker 2] There are. It's good to do research for yourself because no one can tell you if you should or shouldn't invest in something. I'm watching Dogecoin. It started as a joke, but it's so cheap right now, it can't hurt to put some extra cash on it.

[Speaker 1] The one based on the old meme? I heard about that, makes me want to invest too but it feels more like gambling than anything.

[Speaker 2] Yep! This is how I look at it. If you went and bought a lottery ticket or scratchoffs, you might win a bit or your money might be tossed in the garbage. If you invest the same amount, it's still there. If the stock goes down, you're still ahead of buying scratchoffs because that total would be zero. If it goes up, that's great! Don't spend more than you can afford to lose.

[Speaker 1] That's one thing I do know about stocks (and crypto I guess) is never to invest more than you're willing to lose. I invested in a stock the other month based on bad advice, but at least I didn't lose all my money. Right now I'm wondering if I should pull my money out or see if the stock will take off at some point.

[Speaker 2] That's the tricky thing. Stocks might do poorly now, but pick up and kick off in a year or so. I follow The Motley Fool. They usually have some pretty good advice.

[Speaker 1] I haven't heard of them, maybe I'll look and see what they have to say. It'd be nice to be doing more than just making blind wagers and hoping that time will vindicate my decisions.

[Speaker 2] haha Yeah, definitely. You can read the blog for free, but they also have stock recommendation services. I subscribed to their Stock Advisor and it's been pretty good so far.

I work in graphic arts.

I own a boat.

I own my own company.

I am interested in cryptocurrency. I don't know which cryptocurrency to buy. I want to invest in Dogecoin. I have invested in stocks. I have not heard of The Motley Fool.

I am retired. I go fishing.

I know quite a bit about cryptocurrency. I'm watching Dogecoin. I follow The Motley Fool. I subscribe to Stock Advisor.

[Speaker 1] I started following The Motley Fool. Hopefully I can get some good advice and figure out more about investing.

[Speaker 2] I think you'll learn a lot about investing from having a good read through the content! Just remember, trading and investing in crypto can be super risky too, as well as being able to make you lots of money.

[Speaker 1] Yes that's what I worry about.  It's volatility - could bomb out at any time. This will give me some insight I'm hoping

[Speaker 2] Very true, especially Dogecoin that you're interested in. Have you every thought about any other crypto currencies? I really like Etherium! I've made like 60% return on my investment with Etherium.

[Speaker 1] I don't think I've heard of Etherium.  Is that new??

[Speaker 2] No, its been about for years! It's nearly as old as Bitcoin. I think its a much safer bet than Dogecoin. I'm sure when you get around to the Motley Fool's content they will tell you all about it.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow.  I guess I really need to learn more.  I'll check the Motley Fool for it tonight!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I'm not an expert, but I've had crypto for a long time, so if you need any advice, feel free to reach out! I forgot to ask, how are things with the boat? Have you taken it for any nice trips recently?

[Speaker 1] Planning a trip in the next month or so.  We're trying to decide where to go.  Any ideas?

[Speaker 2] Sounds great! I'd love to own my on boat and be able to get out on the water. I'm not really sure! I'm not familiar with Montana. I think you should try somewhere new that you've never been before.

[Speaker 1] There's no better feeling of freedom than out on a boat on the open water.  It's just amazing.

[Speaker 2] I bet the freedom is great! You know, I might have to have a look at buying a boat of my own. I've always wanted one, so..... why not?! I wouldn't know the first place to start though. Is there lots of work and upkeep owning a boat?


My favorite food is steak cooked well done.

I always have a beer after work.

I'm a roofer.

I played football in high school.

I drive a lifted chevy truck.

I moved out when I was 14.

I love the water, any water, ocean, river, or lake.

I like cartoons more than movies.

I like to listen to someone else reading a book.

I'm a meat an potatoes kind of person.

I used to interact in sports in my older teen years.

I push a super car.

I have lived in a lot of different places.

I enjoy living in florida keys.

I prefer animation to live action.

I love audiobooks.

[Speaker 1] Oh man another hard day roofing, I could really use a beer.

[Speaker 2] Oooh wow. I like relaxing with a book.

[Speaker 1] I never was much for reading. I always enjoyed sports I played foot ball in high school.

[Speaker 2] I like swimming. I love the water, nothing specific, could be the ocean, rover or lake

[Speaker 1] That is cool, I like to drive my lifted chevy up to the lake some days

[Speaker 2] That is cool too, I am a bit of a loner I moved out when I was 14.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's young, want to go out and get a steak for dinner?

[Speaker 2] That sounds good, maybe watch some cartoons after, I prefer cartoons over movies.

[Speaker 1] Sure, cartoons it is we can take my truck.

[Speaker 2] Sounds great!! We could talk about books or the lake

[Speaker 1] We could go to the lake and go fishing and bbq up those steaks.

[Speaker 2] Sounds even better, I've some audio books we could listen to.

I work in roofing. I like beer.

I don't like reading. I like sports. I used to play football.

I have a Chevy.

I like to read.
I like swimming.
I live alone.
I like cartoons.

[Speaker 1] I got to play some sports today.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome...What did you play?

[Speaker 1] I got to play some drop in hockey at the rink.  I played for about an hour, and my legs are killing me.

[Speaker 2] Sweet. Hockey is one sport I never got a chance to play. I'm not good on ice and where I'm at there's not many ice rinks to learn.

[Speaker 1] I am michigan, we have plenty of rinks to skate in here.  It is almost mandatory that you at least know how to skate.  What part of the country are you in?

[Speaker 2] I'm from the South, it's always hot that's why I like to swim.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could swim year round.  We will go to lake michigan in the summer and swim in the "Big Lake", plus there are a lot of small inland lake around to swim in.  Do you do most of your swimming in pools, or lakes and rivers?

[Speaker 2] Primarily pools and lakes. Rivers make me nervous ever since I watched River Monsters on TV.

[Speaker 1] I heard that River Monsters scares me.  That is another thing I like about Michigan, most of our wildlife can not kill you.  No poisoneous snakes, aligators, or anything like that here.  A deer really isn't going to do much damage, unless you hit it with your car.

[Speaker 2] I know that's right. Sometimes I think deer have a deathwish the way they jump in front of vehicles.

[Speaker 1] In my life, I have hit 2.  Both of them jumped right out in front, I didn't have any time to react.

[Speaker 2] That's crazy, talking about all these river monsters and crazed deer makes me just want to stay at home and read a book where it's safe.

I work in roofing. I like beer.

I have a Chevy.

I play drop in hockey. I know how to ice skate.

I live in Michigan.

I like to swim. I visit Lake Michigan and other lakes in the summer. I like that Michigan does not have a lot of dangerous wildlife.

I like reading, swimming. I like to swim in pools and lakes. Rivers make me nervous. I have watched River Monsters.

I live alone  in the South.

I like cartoons.

I have never played hockey. I am not good at ice skating.

I read books.

[Speaker 1] You won't believe this: Last night I hit yet another deer!!

[Speaker 2] Oh, no! Are you and your car okay?

[Speaker 1] I'm fine but my truck isn't and the deer ... well she doesn't have to worry about hunters anymore.

[Speaker 2] Aw, the poor thing. Did you take it home? Venison is very tasty.

[Speaker 1] My truck had to be towed and my friend didn't really want to strap a deer carcass to his car. I feel bad about making the thing go to waste but I'm sure some possums and buzzards will be happy.

[Speaker 2] That's true. Back to nature. I'm glad you were able to call someone to come and help! Do you have a way to work until your truck is fixed?

[Speaker 1] My friend owns two vehicles so he's letting me drive his car until I get my truck fixed. I'm afraid to think what he'll do to me if I end up wrecking this too.

[Speaker 2] haha Omg, yeah. Maybe check into a local metaphysical shop and see if they have some sort of deer-warding charm.

[Speaker 1] Haha, I don't know about that but I hear they have these weird horns you can put on your car that emit a sound at some frequency only deer can hear so they're more inclined to get out of the way.

[Speaker 2] That's pretty cool! Definitely look into that. I don't know that I've heard of that before.

[Speaker 1] They're these plastic things that you mount on the hood of your vehicle. I guess as you're speeding down the road the air goes into the horn/whistle and emits the sound that's supposed to scare off animals.

[Speaker 2] Very cool! Maybe I should get some for mine, just incase. Maybe that's what I'll get people for Christmas this year. lol

I work in roofing. I like beer.

I have a Chevy.

I live in Michigan.

I have been in two auto accidents involving a deer. I was not hurt. My truck is messed up. I did not take the deer home. My truck had to be towed. I am borrowing a friend's car. I hope I don't wreck my friend's car.

I live alone  in the South.

I like cartoons.

I read books.

I am into metaphysics.

I should get deer horns for my car.

[Speaker 1] I found out it's going to cost $4,000 to get my truck fixed.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow.  Is insurance going to cover most of it?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am going to go through my insurance. I am worried that they are going to raise my premium up too much though.

[Speaker 2] That is a possibility.  You should see if they offer accident forgiveness. Is it going to take a long time to fix?

[Speaker 1] I wonder if that do have something like that! The auto repair shop said 3 weeks! The frame is cracked!

[Speaker 2] Hopefully your friend will keep letting you borrow their truck.  Do you have any plans to go to the lake soon?

[Speaker 1] I do hope he does! I am paying for the gas and giving him some money! I would like to go to the lake once the truck gets fixed!

[Speaker 2] I bet you need the relaxation after all this!  I’m thinking of taking a trip to a lake soo.  I’m not sure which one yet though.

[Speaker 1] I heard that Lake George is an amazing place. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] I have it’s really beautiful there especially in the fall when the leaves change color.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is! Maybe I will take a trip down there instead of going to Lake Michigan again!

[Speaker 2] It’s always nice to switch things up.  It has great restaurants too.  What kind of food do you like?

[Speaker 1] Prefer anything. At lest it saturday. Time to go out dance it up.

[Speaker 2] I can not dance at all. But I do like going out with my friends

[Speaker 1] What you like to eat when you go out with friends?

[Speaker 2] It really varies but most times we get italian.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good would just get a salad and what plans for day?

[Speaker 2] I love the salads they have at cheesecake factory

[Speaker 1] Cheesecake sounds good. Always wear my shark tooth necklace when go out.

[Speaker 2] So what do you like to do for fun. I love really to draw

[Speaker 1] I have never been but I hear the beaches are pretty. Do you travel?

[Speaker 2] I try to. I can only travel really during the summer since I am in school

[Speaker 1] I can only travel at certain times too. My husband works so much.

[Speaker 2] Where have you traveled to recently?

[Speaker 1] Trinidad and tobago it was so fun. I love meeting new people.

[Speaker 1] How cute! I also have three dogs. Do you have other pets?

[Speaker 2] Just my pug, he is the most loyal thing you will ever find!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I like playing ultimate frisbee with my dude.

[Speaker 1] Nice! My husband and I play bingo every wednesday.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. I do not really go out much. Kinda an introvert.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I feel you. I love staying home too and enjoying my family.

[Speaker 2] Where do you live? I'm in ny.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice, I am in california.

[Speaker 2] My mom is from there. Its cool but I love ny shopping. Nothing beats it!

I have three dogs.

I am married.

I live in California.

I have a dog.
I like to play frisbee.
I am an introvert.
I live in New York.
My mother comes from California.

[Speaker 1] Other day I tried to play frisbee with my dude which was fun.Then I just want to tell you thank you for suggesting interesting game.

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to learn to play frisbee. I can never catch the thing though.

[Speaker 1] Haha yeah it can be tricky. Do you ever play frisbee with your dog?

[Speaker 2] I guess I could. He'd probably be better at catching and I can just throw. Right now it's cold out so I can't do much of that. Plenty of time to practice I guess.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's true, it is cold here too. That's cool your dog would catch a frisbee. My dogs are too small for that and not interested. They would rather snuggle on the sofa. You know there is also frisbee golf where you throw towards a goal and don't have to catch it. Have you ever tried that?

[Speaker 2] Wow, I had no idea that was even a thing! I'm going to have to try that. Frisbee golf? Who would've thought that would be an option. My dog likes to snuggle too but since we are inside a lot more he loves the excitement of going out too.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's a lot of fun, you should try it. Yes, it is nice to go out and get fresh air when you've been in the house all day. My dogs do get excited to go for their daily "walkie." What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a golden retriever. Thinking of getting a second dog once I figure out whether my dog would get along with another dog living here. He's friendly but you never know. Plus, baby steps. Frisbee first. Adding another dog, second.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I totally agree. It takes a lot of time and energy to train dogs, so you want to make sure to take one thing at a time. I grew up with a golden retriever, but now I have three chihuahua rescue mixes. Golden retrievers are really some of the friendliest dogs I've met, though.

[Speaker 2] It's amazing that you have three rescues. That's a difficult undertaking sometimes considering the dogs can come from all different backgrounds. My dog is like family and yeah he is warm and super friendly. Was it difficult for you at first to get your dogs acclimated to being at home with you?

[Speaker 1] We adopted one at a time and worked with each on their behavior before getting another. At first, yes, some of them were scared due to their background, but if you are patient and gentle, they eventually warm up and settle into their new home. Our dogs are like family, too. Have you worked on training or learning tricks with your dog?

[Speaker 2] Seems like you planned that out pretty well taking them in one at a time. Patience of a saint. I haven't worked on training or learning tricks with my dog. I guess teaching him not to get into the garbage and things like that could be considered training but nothing formal.

I have three small dogs. My dogs are 3 chihuahua rescue mixes.

I am married.

I live in California.

I think frisbee golf is fun. I go on daily walks with my dogs.

I like to play frisbee. I am not good at frisbee.  have never tried frisbee golf.

I am an introvert.

I live in New York.

My mother comes from California.

I have a golden retriever. I want another dog.

I haven't trained my dog very much.

[Speaker 1] What kind of dog do you think you would get as your second?

[Speaker 2] Maybe a greyhound, they always need rescuing and I hope they'd enjoy playing frisbee. How are your pooches?

[Speaker 1] They are great. Have you thought about getting a chihuahua?

[Speaker 2] I hadn't actually. I guess it's the stereotype of them being small and yappy that puts me off a bit, what's your thoughts?

[Speaker 1] They are sweet dogs, but can be a bit yappy to be honest. I do like them though. I like small dogs.

[Speaker 2] That's fair - are their yappy tendencies mitigated a bit by their other background? Do you ever carry them in a handbag?

[Speaker 1] Some people do spoil them, but I don't. I've never put mine in a handbag. They prefer to run around the backyard.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun for them! Are there good walks where you are in Cali? I need to get back there for a visit someday

[Speaker 1] Yeah there are heaps of parks around here. I like to take my dogs to the beach. You should come to Cali and I can teach you frisbee golf!

[Speaker 2] That sounds glorious, the weather's been shocking here for a few weeks now. To get to the beach would be amazing - Is that Malibu? I know you're a master so getting some tips would be great

[Speaker 1] You need to get some sun and sand at Malibu beach, that's my favorite place to go. I'm sure you can teach me a thing or two as well!

I am married. I like to stay home and enjoy my family.

I live in California.

I go on daily walks with my dogs. I play frisbee golf.

I like chihuahuas. I like small dogs. I don't spoil my dogs. I don't put my dogs in handbags. I have a backyard. I take my dogs to the beach. I like going to Malibu beach.

I am an introvert.

I live in New York.

My mother comes from California. I have been to California before. I would like to visit California again.

I have a golden retriever. I am thinking about getting a new dog, perhaps a greyhound.

I haven't trained my dog very much.

I rescue dogs. I want to play frisbee with my dogs. I do not like small and yappy dogs.

I live somewhere where the weather can be bad.

[Speaker 1] Where did you go when you visited California last time?

[Speaker 2] California was great. I spent a lot of time in San Francisco. Have you ever seen the San Francisco Bay? It's beautiful this time of year.

[Speaker 1] I have seen San Francisco bay yes! But not at this time of year! What makes it so beautiful at this time of the year?

[Speaker 2] The waves are always so much bigger this time of year, I always think it's so much fun when I'm walking out on the piers! I played frisbee with my dog there and took some really great pictures.

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect, I'll have to make sure to visit in the summer so I can experience it. Oh I almost forgot to ask? How is your dog? I totally forgot their name too!

[Speaker 2] How could you forget my sweet little Meaty's name? He is so unforgettable! He is honestly the most caring, smart dog I've ever had, but I really want to get him a friend for company.

[Speaker 1] Ah Meaty! That's the one! I do remember he is an adorable Golden Retriever though.. I think you should, he'll no doubt love having a friend to play with.

[Speaker 2] What do you think a good breed would be that I could get? And do you think I should get him a breeding partner, or just a friend? Ah! This is starting to feel like a much bigger decision now!

[Speaker 1] I think I remember last time we spoke, you was interested in getting a Greyhound right? I think a Greyhound would fit right in! I mean that's up to you, if you're down for lots of puppies around the house, I'd say go for it!

[Speaker 2] I was thinking about a Greyhound, but after thinking about it I've been leaning towards some other breeds. I found out that Greyhounds can often have lots of issues with epilepsy and blood clotting issues.

[Speaker 1] Really? I never knew that! Maybe it's the safer choice then to not get a Greyhound if they have health issues. If you are interested in a breeding partner for Meaty, perhaps another Golden Retriever?

[Speaker 2] Yes, possibly. I think if I decide to get Meaty a breeding partner, it will be a Golden Retriever. But if I decide just to get him a friend as company, maybe something more like an English Bulldog? I think they're so cute! Not too small, not too big.

[Speaker 1] I do not have I like reading

[Speaker 2] Oh, I like making houses with matches. Have you ever tried?

[Speaker 1] Not yet why do you love it?

[Speaker 2] It is fun to create different homes with something as small as a match.

[Speaker 1] Really? I wish I can see them

I've a commercial license.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Enjoying the beautiful kansas sun. You?

[Speaker 1] Worrying a little about my boyfriend in iraq. The army can be tough.

[Speaker 2] Oh, man. That has to suck. Try to keep busy. Got plans for today?

[Speaker 1] Going to try to work on my chopin on piano, you?

[Speaker 2] Doing some more work on my farm. My chickens laid the most colorful eggs today!

[Speaker 1] I love it when they lay in different colors. I've never seen a yellow egg.

[Speaker 2] Really? Well if you are ever in kansas, swing by my farm and I'll show you!

[Speaker 1] Great! Yellow is my favorite. When is a good time to visit?

[Speaker 2] Summertime. It is on a dirt road and my truck tires stick. Dry season is better.

[Speaker 1] I wear my hair short so the heat won't bother me. I will come.

[Speaker 2] So exciting! My chickens can not wait to meet you!

[Speaker 1] How many do you have?

[Speaker 2] About 20. It is a pretty big farm.

[Speaker 2] Good, thanks. Its beautiful weather but chilly, I prefer the springtime

[Speaker 1] Me too. That's when my birthday is. I will be 11!

[Speaker 2] I am a graphic designer and I am inspired by landscape painting

[Speaker 1] I mostly watch tv when I'm not at school though.

[Speaker 2] Whats your favorite tv program these days?

[Speaker 1] Rick and morty, but don't tell my mom.

[Speaker 2] Ok, secret is safe from mom. What do you plan for the future?

[Speaker 1] I just learned how to make ham and cheese sandwiches. I love them. Maybe I'll be chef!

[Speaker 2] Mmm art of cooking... My hobby is to walk on the beach and make seascape paintings

[Speaker 1] I have never seen the ocean. But what if it was orange juice instead? So cool!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is surreal! What other little known facts are there about you?

[Speaker 1] I am ten, right now. Until the spring. Is there anything weird and cool about you?

[Speaker 2] Well, people say I am weird and cool, in general. Because I am an eccentric artist

[Speaker 1] I've never met an artist before. Do you paint? They cut art out at school.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I take my easel and canvas to the beach. What do you study in school?

My name is Arnold.

I will turn 11 in the spring.

I watch tv. I go to school.

I enjoy Rick and Morty. I live with my mom.

I love ham and cheese sandwiches.

I have never been to the ocean.

I don't take art classes at school

I like the springtime.

I am a graphic designer.

My hobbies include walking and landscape painting.

[Speaker 1] I just got home from school. I am watching Rick and Morty in my bedroom, where my mom can't hear what I'm watching.

[Speaker 2] Your mother doesn't want you watching that show? It's a bit filthy.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha yes it is, but it's super funny. I really should be doing my homework, but I want to binge watch "Rick and Morty". Do you watch it too?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I don't watch much TV. My brother says his kids really like it. They are 14 and 16 years-old.

[Speaker 1] It is popular with young kids like me and teenagers. It is well-drawn and has good animation. I'm sure that as an artist, you can appreciate that.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've seen pictures from the show, and it has its own style. That's what you want: come up with your own unique style.

[Speaker 1] That's what I like about. I really like the artwork and animation on a lot of the cartoons on Adult Swim, too, like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "Home Movies". What TV shows do you watch?

[Speaker 2] I like shows like Downton Abbey and The Crown. Those kind of things. Kids would probably find them boring.

[Speaker 1] I've heard of "Downtown Abbey", but not "The Crown". What is "The Crown" about? What channel is it on?

[Speaker 2] The Crown is about the British Queen Elizabeth, starting back in the 1940s. It's on Netflix.

[Speaker 1] Boy, that sounds like a snooze fest for me! But, to each his or her own. I don't have a Netflix account. Do you think it's worth getting? What other shows are on there?

My name is Arnold.

I will turn 11 in the spring.

I love ham and cheese sandwiches.

I have never been to the ocean.

I go to school. I don't take art classes at school. I appreciate the art and animation of many cartoons, including "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "Home Movies" on Adult Swim.

I've heard of "Downton Abbey." I haven't heard of "The Crown.".

I don't have Netflix.

I like the springtime.

I am a graphic designer.

I don't watch much TV. My brother has two teenage kids.

I like shows like "Downton Abbey" and "The Crown.".

I have Netflix.

[Speaker 1] My mom caught me watching TV instead of doing my homework and she's taking away my screen time for tomorrow :-(.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Are you losing screen time for just one day?

[Speaker 1] She said it's just one day but it depends on my attitude, apparently I'm a little too sarcastic, are your brother's kids like that too?

[Speaker 2] Hopefully you only get one day. Yes, they can be naughty sometimes. Threats to take away their PlayStation priviliges usually gets them to behave, haha.

[Speaker 1] It's just so unfair, I don't think it should be all my screen time for the whole day, I was watching a documentary on animation instead of doing my homework, that should account as revision or something?

[Speaker 2] That sounds educational to me, maybe just be really nice to your mom and she will change her mind.

[Speaker 1] I doubt it, ever since I started watching Rick and Morty and quoting it when she gets mad at me she just instantly resorts to removing my screen time, I'm pickle RIck for god's sake.

[Speaker 2] It must be a pretty good show, my nephews talk about it constantly!

[Speaker 1] Oh it is! It's my favourite. I watch it all the time. I like to think that I'll grow up to be a mad scientist. You really should watch it, you'll love it!

[Speaker 2] It's not really my type of show, but maybe I should give it a go. It sounds interesting.

[Speaker 1] Oh it really is, there's multiple universes, like in one universe I could have a mom who wouldn't take away my screen time for not doing my homework. I can only hope!

[Speaker 2] Haha, you just need to find the right alternative universe!

[Speaker 1] Hey, how is it going dude?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good and you? I just got home from college.

[Speaker 1] Just relaxing at home while my employees do the work for me.

[Speaker 2] Lol that sounds like fun. I hope I get to be the boss someday.

[Speaker 1] Want to work for me? I can only pay you minimum wage, however.

[Speaker 2] Nah I would prefer to be the boss.

[Speaker 1] Well I've my own business. Life is good.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I just returned from nyc. I spent a whole day at the met.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I've the time to vacation since I don't need to show face at work.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I bet you get to travel all the time.

[Speaker 1] It is because I've so much money from my own business.

[Speaker 2] It can be tough for me to travel because I only eat vegan.

[Speaker 1] I eat whatever I want at home since I stay at home all day.

[Speaker 2] That really sounds so pleasant!

[Speaker 1] It is! I hope one day you can be successful like me.

[Speaker 2] I'm counting on it happening soon.

I only pay minimum wage.

I've got a lot of money.

I go to college.
I want to be the boss some day.
I am vegan.

[Speaker 1] I went on a road trip last week. I had the money and the time so I figured I'd do some sight seeing.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds like a lot of fun. Where did you go?

[Speaker 1] I went from Los Angeles to New York City. Have you ever been to either of those cities? They both have a lot of great vegan restaurants

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that's a really long road trip! I'm impressed! I've been to NYC, but haven't been to LA yet. I have a couple friends who are at UCLA and I hope to visit them soon. Did you go to any of the vegan restaurants while in either city?

[Speaker 1] How did you like NYC? I ate at one vegan place and it was actually really delicious! I was pretty surprised.

[Speaker 2] I like NYC a lot! There's so much to see and do. I did an internship there a couple years ago and got to explore a lot. I'm glad you liked it! Vegan food really is delicious if it's prepared correctly!

[Speaker 1] So what are you studying in college? And I agree, vegan food can definitely be flavorful if you know what you're doing!

[Speaker 2] I'm studying Media, Art and Design (that's my major), but I'm particularly interested in the broadcast side of things.

[Speaker 1] That's great! Have you always wanted to go to college for that?

[Speaker 2] I was undeclared when I started college and then I took a media class my freshman year and realized I loved it. I see a lot of tracks where I'd have the opportunity to become upper management as well, which is appealing.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's perfect for you since your goal is to be at the top. I hope it all works out for you!

[Speaker 2] Thank you, I appreciate that! How is your business going?

I only pay minimum wage. I've got a lot of money.

I went on a road trip from LA to NYC last week.

I go to college majoring in Media, Art and Design.

I want to be the boss some day.

I am vegan.

I had an internship in New York City.

I like to become upper management.

[Speaker 1] I tried a new vegan restaurant you should definitely try out!

[Speaker 2] What is the name of the restaurant? What did you order there? I might try it

[Speaker 1] It was Avant Garden East Village in New York. I had a pizza. It was so tasty!

[Speaker 2] Did you have vegan pizza or regular pizza? What kind of business do you own?

[Speaker 1] It was a vegan one. They make some pretty decent vegan cheeses these days. I run a small marketing firm.

[Speaker 2] I will give it a try when I am nearby! Interesting, it is somewhat close to my field, media. Why don't you pay your workers more tho?

[Speaker 1] My business is a good starting point for people starting out in the industry. I mentor them and then they move on to higher paying positions elsewhere or start their own firms.

[Speaker 2] Oh so that is your business model, interesting. I've always wanted to be my own boss and not be responsible to anyone

[Speaker 1] Yes, it seems a bit odd from the outside, but I like to help people find their feet. I had a boss mentor me many years ago and it made me who I am today. I love being my own boss, it's great!

[Speaker 2] It must have been very helpful to have someone mentor you. Do you have any tips on starting your own business?

[Speaker 1] It really does help to have a mentor. It is hard work to start your own business, but if you keep working at it, you can make it happen.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for your help, let's hope that someday I will run my own business just as you are

I own my own business. I have employees who work for me. I have a small marketing firm. I work as a mentor to help people start their career in the marketing field. I found my passion of helping people from a previous boss who did the same for me. I enjoy being my own boss. I am a hard worker and do not give up.

I am vegan.  I eat whatever I want. I stay home all day. I liked the taste of the vegan pizza.

I am vegan.

I had an internship in New York City.

I like to become upper management.

I work in the media field. I want to be my own boss. I am interested in starting my own business. I have aspirations of having my own business.

[Speaker 1] I tried Avant Garden East Village, you were right, they are a great vegan restaurant .

[Speaker 2] I told you! Vegan pizza from there is amazing. Which pizza did you try?

[Speaker 1] I had their special cauliflower pizza. It was really cheap and delicious!

[Speaker 2] Nice! That was a good choice! Have you ever tried making your own pizza at home?

[Speaker 1] I tried one time because I didn't feel like going out, but I accidently ruined the pizza by overcooking the crust haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha oh yeah. It can be a little tricky the first time you try. But are you good at cooking in general?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I'm pretty bad at it. I usually order food from UberEats or go out to restaurants and such.

[Speaker 2] Haha. I would love to do that but it becomes too expensive after a while. You can always make instant noodles!

[Speaker 1] Haha I think that's easy enough for me to make! I'm really looking to try other vegan foods I haven't had yet.

[Speaker 2] You could try Indian food. There are so many vegan Indian recipes and some are pretty simple. DO you like spicy food?

[Speaker 1] I love spicy food! Do you have any recommendations for good Indian food?

[Speaker 2] I would definitely recommend curry. YOu can make curry with seitan or tofu and veggies. There are lots of great recipes out there.

I was born in Italy. I have an Italian restaurant in New York

I can speak Italian

[Speaker 1] Hi Maria. How are things with the restaurant?

[Speaker 2] Busy, busy. Lunch time is always full of people and we stay on our toes. Do you enjoy Italian food?

[Speaker 1] That's good. I'm glad that you're getting a lot of business. Yes, Italian food is one of my favorites, as it is for my husband and son. What's the name of your restaurant?

[Speaker 2] I went with a name I can never forget....Maria's Italian Bistro. You should bring your husband and son one time and I'll give you guys a free lunch, if you are ever in New York.

[Speaker 1] I like the name. It's simple and very fitting. Thank you! I will take you up on that offer if I come to New York. Do your 3 kids and husband all work at Maria's Italian Bistro?

[Speaker 2] Yes, two of my children work there, but the other is in college. I taught them Italian early on so they are able to speak to our Italian customers that come into the restaurant. I don't think they are expecting fluent speaking owners!

[Speaker 1] I think that's great that you taught your kids Italian, as it's important for them to respect, learn, and honor their heritage. What part of Italy were you born in?

[Speaker 2] Venice. It's such a beautiful city. Have you ever been there? Or ever thought about learning Italian?

[Speaker 1] No, I have never been to Venice, but I read about it in some books. I've thought about it. Since I'm a reader, maybe I'll pick up a book that can teach me Italian.

[Speaker 2] Have you read any good books lately? I enjoy reading too, when I have the time.

[Speaker 1] The new John Grisham novel is pretty good. I also read an autobiography by Barack Obama that I enjoyed. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I tend to read romance, mystery and drama books when I do get a chance. It's a relaxing hobby.

I am Wendy.  I have a husband. I have a son, and grandchildren,

I am 54.

I like Italian food.

I like autobiographies.

I can speak Italian.

My restaurant's name is Maria's Italian Bistro.

I have three children. Two of my children work ay my restaurant and the other is in college. My children speak Italian.

I was born in Venice.

I like to read romance, mystery, and drama books as a hobby.

[Speaker 1] I am planning on visiting New York next month with my husband and son. What weekday  and time should we come to have the best experience ?

[Speaker 2] Friday nights are always good times to come. We do have live music on Friday nights and Saturday nights.

[Speaker 1] I will come on Friday night then. What type of music is it?

[Speaker 2] It is some classical guitar and we also have a group that does soft rock. I'm not sure who will be playing that evening, but they usually will switch off.

[Speaker 1] Either will be nice! What time should we come and should I make a reservation?

[Speaker 2] You can make a reservation, it usually isn't necessary but it does help. We start dinner at 4pm, but people mostly start showing up at around 6pm or so.

[Speaker 1] Ok I will make a reservation for 6pm. Will you be working that night?

[Speaker 2] I work every day and night the restaurant is open. It is my baby now my children are growing up, haha.

[Speaker 1] I look forward to seeing you then. You can suggest some of your best dishes for us to try!

[Speaker 2] Yes! I am excited to meet you in person.

[Speaker 1] We are looking forward to our trip. Any suggestions of what else we should do?

[Speaker 2] I still enjoy taking the ferry out to see the Statue of Liberty, she is so beautiful and I love being on the water.

I am 54.

I like Italian food.

I like autobiographies.

I plan on visiting New York with my family soon.

I was born in Italy. I run an Italian restaurant in New York. I work at a venue that plays live music. I work every day the restaurant is open.

I can speak Italian.

I was born in Venice.

I enjoy taking the ferry. I like the Statue of Liberty. I enjoy being on the water.

[Speaker 1] Have you finalised the acts you'll have on stage the day I'm visiting?

[Speaker 2] Hope you can come by while I am at the restaurant to see the finished acts/

[Speaker 1] Of course I will. Are you feeling optimistic about it?

[Speaker 2] So glad we can meet in person after being like pen pals all these years! You will be amazed at the food we serve. Last night I had cavetti with pesto it was so warm and tasty.

[Speaker 1] I am so excited! And it shows how much I know. I don't even know what cavetti is! haha

[Speaker 2] Pasta comes in a millions sizes and shapes I like the smaller ones, but you might enjoy the longer noodles. Do you know which month you will be in town?

[Speaker 1] We are actually coming next month. I am not going to lie to you. I am a little intimidated by all the things we can do in New York.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is quite a vibrant city. The double-decker tours can give you an overview when you arrive, then you can pick out a few spots for a deeper immersion.

[Speaker 1] I bet you know the place like the back of your hand. Is it fun living in New York or is it as stressful as TV makes it seem sometimes?

[Speaker 2] Some folks do live out on Manhattan, but those of us who work there oven live in the quieter neighborhoods. I do enjoy showing off the tourist attractions to guests, but at home I like a more homey area for family life.

[Speaker 1] I bet you get tired of people asking you what they can do there huh? I apologize if I annoyed you with that

[Speaker 2] No need to apologize, I am proud of the city. Working that evening shift means I can enjoy the buzz of town and still relax with other friends before heading into town on the train..

[Speaker 2] Yeah, so am I! How is your mother doing? Still ballet dancing ?

[Speaker 2] No, not as of yet. Don't know what i want to pursue quite yet, but can't afford to get anymore tattoos.. i want as many as you some day.

[Speaker 1] Laugh! That is not a good thing to aspire. Why don't you see a counselor or social worker on making decision about your career?

[Speaker 2] I guess I never thought to do that before. Is there anything specific you recommend? You mentioned you work in medicine.

[Speaker 1] That is what I recommend. Try and see any of the two professionals, they will help you in arriving at a good decision. Go and you will never regret doing so.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I'll check that out first thing in the morning.

[Speaker 1] Well, I suggest getting a cat tattoo like me. I have several

[Speaker 2] Cats are so cute! Not really my vibe though. I'd rather get a real cat. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I have a few cats and a dog. I'm looking to adopt another dog soon.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I don't have any pets. What kind of dog are you interested in adopting?

[Speaker 1] Another miniature poodle. The one I have is getting older. Have you been looking for a job?

[Speaker 2] Awwww a mini poodle sounds adorable. I want a poodle someday if I don't get a cat. It's hard looking for a job these days, but I've been trying.

[Speaker 1] Well, keep trying and I'm sure you will find something. There are jobs to be had out there, even if they aren't very desirable.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the encouragement. How's your job going?

[Speaker 1] It's going well, but it gets boring and the hours can be long.

[Speaker 2] At least it probably pays well. What do you do to destress?

[Speaker 1] Med administration is not too bad. You should check it out. I think there are a few hospitals here in Baltimore that are hiring. If you get a job, what's the first thing you'll buy to celebrate?

[Speaker 2] Hmmm I will probably get a new tattoo! I'd love to get one and I've wanted one for a while!

[Speaker 1] Are you going to stick with the dragon theme? Dragons are pretty cool. I have six different cats tattoo'd on my back. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of a Persian - they are really cool.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure. I may get something different this time. I just went with some friends to a tattoo parlor and they got some new ink done. Persians are beautiful cats!

[Speaker 1] Yes! There's a Tattoo place in South Baltimore you should check out, it's called Steve's Magic Ink. They do great work and Steve's a nice guy. In fact, I adopted my poodle from him. He breeds poodles. Do you think you'd pick one up?

[Speaker 2] Hmmm probably not a poodle. I just don't think they are for me but they are adorable. I know they are your favorite!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, my poodle is great. His name is Jack, but sadly he's going blind since he is old. If you get a tattoo from Steve, tell him Mike sent you. He'll remember me, the guy obsessed with cat tattoos.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm sure he couldn't forget you! I will definitely do that. I think I will stop in next week and chat with him about some ideas. Thanks for the tips Mike!

[Speaker 1] Any time. And good luck on the job search. I can say Med Administration is a rewarding career. And at my hospital, the cafeteria has outstanding nachos. They put hot peppers on them. They are insanely good.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's a weakness for me for sure! I am a nacho expert and I love hot peppers too. Are they hiring at your job?

[Speaker 1] I feel you on the work being really busy! Tax season is upon us and it is not slowing down. Are you taking dance lessons currently?

[Speaker 2] I've been trying to make time for some! Every time I get to do a few hours of waltzing I always feel much calmer afterwards. But with the kids and work and my husband, it's just not seeming possible lately. Have you taken any dance lessons yet?

[Speaker 2] Sounds like fun! Will you bring your husband with you? Or does he not like to golf?

[Speaker 1] Nah he doesn't like golf. Besides it is my time with friends.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I am a big believer in taking care of my self!! He is a good sport about it though.

[Speaker 2] Self care is extremely important! I'm glad he is, so is my husband. But enough about them. How has work been lately?

[Speaker 1] Doing what? I am a nurse.

[Speaker 2] I am a car salesman

[Speaker 1] What made you want to get into that? Good with people?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah I feel like I could sell the shirt off my back

[Speaker 1] No shirt, no shoes, no problem.

[Speaker 2] I named a waiting that once

[Speaker 1] Is it a hobby or profession? I only paint with my children.

[Speaker 2] Just a hobby, my wife used them for decoration in her classrooms

[Speaker 1] So she's a teacher, that's interesting. I've thought of teaching a cooking class.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to take a cooking class. Meats are my favorite food just not good at cooking

[Speaker 2] Fantastic! I just managed to sell a couple of lemons today, how are things with you?

[Speaker 1] Things are great! I had some mexican food tonight, so I'm in a great mood! Did you see the new episode of chefs table?

[Speaker 2] No I don't really watch TV. I much prefer looking through my telescope

[Speaker 1] Same, my children love looking through telescopes. How is your wife?

[Speaker 2] She is working late tonight, seems like it is everyday of the week now. Why are you asking about my wife exactly?

[Speaker 1] I was just interested in her job as a teacher, as my daughter aspires to become one. The hours seem long.

[Speaker 2] Yes,. She comes home very, very tired every night. I really don't think you would want the same for you daughter...

[Speaker 1] She seems set on that path, as she loves to work with children, so I don't think i'd stop her.

[Speaker 2] Fair enough. I don't see any benefits on being a teacher, I am actually thinking of leaving my wife because of it, but don't tell her that

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, it's really that bad? I don't know, it may depend on the person who does it.

[Speaker 2] Not really, all my wife's colleagues are divorced or separated. No person on their right mind can take it. In fact, I might send her a text and dump her right now!

I am a nurse.

I have children.

Mexican food is my favorite. I watch Chef's Table.

I don't watch much tv.

I am nosy. I have a daughter.

I just got a new job

I am a car salesman.

My wife is a teacher.

I love watching chefs table. I don't watch tv much. I enjoy astronomy.

[Speaker 1] Did your wife ever come home from work last night?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it was a very busy meeting at the school, I was very concerned.

[Speaker 1] Well, I'm glad she made it home safe and was able to put your mind at ease.  Have you guys ever considered going to counseling to work on your marriage?

[Speaker 2] I have thought about but I have some doubts. Did you watch Chef's table last night?

[Speaker 1] I think it would be a good idea to speak to your wife about it and reach out to different therapists and get some feedback.  Yes, of course I did!  Did you see when the chef totally ruined the main dish by overcooking the fish until it was rubbery?

[Speaker 2] It was an exciting episode. Thank you for asking about my wife and suggesting therapy. You are probably right. Are there alot of therapists in your area?

[Speaker 1] I am familiar with about 15 therapists who work in the same medical building as me, but to answer your question, there are about 200 therapist in the city that I live in. How is the new job going?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy my new job selling cars. If it continues to go well maybe things willl go better with my wife and I could afford a therapist for us.

[Speaker 1] Look at you being all positive instead of your usual pessimistic self!  That is so great!

I am a nurse.

I have children.

I don't watch much tv.

I am nosy. I have a daughter.

I do not live in the same are as the other speaker.

I am an encouraging person.

I just got a new job. I am a car salesman.

My wife is a teacher.

I am skeptical, concerned, pessimistic. I am unhappy in my marriage. Considering marriage counseling.

I watch Chef's table.

Does not live in the same area as speaker one.

I have financial problems.

[Speaker 1] Did you see what happened on the last episode of Chef's table?

[Speaker 2] No! I was working that night and missed it. What was it about?

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness! It was amazing. They had Gordon Ramsey on the show as the guest judge, and Gordon had them all prepare their best version of Beef Wellington. It was a seriously fierce competition, and Gordon was quite the stiff critic, as he usually is.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Beef Wellington is so hard to get right. The pastry has to be spot on, or it won't hold together when you slice it. I wish I had seen it. Maybe I can look back and find the episode.

[Speaker 1] I won't even imagine trying to cook that. I just am NOT that skilled. I'll stick to helping save lives and leave the cooking to the professionals LOL. How are things going with your hubby? Have you guys worked things out at all?

[Speaker 2] We're getting there. My wife was able to get five free sessions of counseling thru her employer's EAP program. If we like the counselor, we'll continue with her.

[Speaker 1] That's good. That's all you guys can really do, is just try for each other. Relationships aren't easy, they never are. Anyone who says so is lying to themselves! Just know if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you.

[Speaker 2] Thanks so much! I appreciate that. I'm hoping that this new job will pay the bills. With the interest rates so low, and people getting stimulus checks, there has been a much greater volume of car sales.

[Speaker 1] I can only imagine. Honestly, I'm kind of in the market for a new car myself, but I'm not even really sure what I'm able to afford these days. Do you think maybe you could help me pick something out and look at some options?

[Speaker 2] For sure! You'll have to figure out what is in your budget first. Then decide what manufacturer you would like. I would definitely subscribe to Consumer Reports to do some research ahead of time. Then we can chat about the car for you.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. Can I come by the lot sometime this week and maybe browse around a little? Maybe we could stop out and get something to eat after, I'm really craving Mexican food.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan. How many children do you have in all? I'm trying to figure out if a sedan would be a good fit or if you need something like a cross-over vehicle.


I've a pretend friend.

I've a long title and I am a teen.

[Speaker 1] I like to travel too, but how can you travel without income?

[Speaker 2] My husband is rich. I'm a lucky woman.

[Speaker 1] That is very lucky for you. Us teachers don't make much money.

[Speaker 2] You need to teach rich kids at an expensive private school. Maybe you'd make more money.

[Speaker 1] Yes but then I would have to move from the suburbs to the city.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome! Make sure and plant the things that you will eat the most. I like to plant things for salsa.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's great practical advice! Right now I am just painting a garden but when the weather is right maybe I will see if I have a green thumb too. How has your class been going, anything new?

[Speaker 1] My class is good, but I think they are ready for a break. They are getting a little stir crazy.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sounds like my kids right now! They love any time of school break, we usually take them to the beach when we get anytime off of school. Do you have favorite beach to visit?

[Speaker 1] I have travelled to some beaches in the Caribbean. Those are usually my favorite. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I would love to take them there! We have only been the beaches in California. I have taken them to Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay, Caycus and Laguna Beach so far.

[Speaker 1] Those sound like great beaches. The pacific ocean is really nice. I love the Pacific North West.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah me too! Its super cold up there so I have not been there but I love watching Nat Geo and learning about Washington and Oregon. I prefer the warmer weather vacation locations. I can be inspired by the beaches and that can lead to paintings I create.

[Speaker 1] Do you plan on traveling over seas any time soon?

[Speaker 1] Did you finish planting your garden yesterday?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. Always getting new ideas of things to add :-)

[Speaker 1] What are you thinking about right now? Mostly vegetables or some flowers too?

[Speaker 2] I'm not as big a tomato buff as you :-)  I like a variety plus herbs.

[Speaker 1] Lol I do love my tomatoes. But I have some experience in herbs too. My basil is just coming up.

[Speaker 2] Excellent. It's great when stuff starts sprouting, isn't it?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm looking forward to making a nice caprese salad. My cilantro isn't doing so well, though

[Speaker 2] Bummer. Do you have multiple salsa recipes (sp?) or do you have one fave?

[Speaker 1] Well, tomatoes and cilantro are my number one and number two things, so the cilantro is making me sad. :( I've tried it with several kinds of peppers. How do you feel about spicy food?

[Speaker 2] Not a fan. Why cry when you don't have to? :-)  What do you teach?

[Speaker 1] lol, I won't share my habanero salsa recipe then. I teach high school English and journalism.

I liked my high school English teacher.

[Speaker 1] What subjects in school do your kids like?

[Speaker 2] They really like science. They are obsessed with ocean life: fish, dolphins, crabs, and so on. Probably because of all the time at the beach.  What do your kids like to study?

[Speaker 1] Awesome! Well, I'm an English and Journalism teacher, so I got my kids on to those subjects early! It must be great living so close to the beach, I wish the beach was closer to where I live in the suburbs.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's not too bad. Since you are a teacher, you must enjoy your summers off. Are you planning to travel? I am thinking of going to Seattle for a couple weeks.

[Speaker 1] I do get to enjoy the summers off! Being a teach is exhausting sometimes, so I really appreciate the time off. I have never actually been to Seattle! Me, the partner and kids are looking at a trip to the Caribbean again, we have been before and absolutely loved it.

[Speaker 2] Oh very nice. I bet they have nice beaches in the Caribbean. Who will take care of your garden while you're gone?

[Speaker 1] They do, the water is so blue its unreal! Well, my neighbour usually tends to my garden for me whilst I'm away and I'll get her a gift for helping me out. She's so nice. Where is the best beach that you have ever visited?

[Speaker 2] That is a nice neighbor! I would say the best beach I've been to is Laguna Beach in California. It's so peaceful, and there is a nice art community nearby.  Speaking of gardening, how much water do you give your basil?

[Speaker 1] She really is! Oh really? Out of all the places you've visited I would have expected somewhere outside of the U.S! The art Community sounds lovely though. Well, I water them every other day, unless its raining. You never want to over water your plants!

[Speaker 2] Very true. I hired a gardening advisor, but he knew nothing about basil. I know you are having trouble with your cilantro - I could ask him for ideas on that. He used to grow cilantro in Italy.

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing! I'd really appreciate that. Is your gardening advisor from Italy originally? Or, have they just spent time there?

[Speaker 2] I met my gardening advisor when I was traveling through Oregon. He is from Oregon originally, but was hired by an Italian firm to grow cilantro. Oregon gets a massive amount of rain so it's easy to grow anything. Have you been there?


I'd also like to study abroad in spain.

I'm currently studying at union college and want to be an english teacher.

That way, after graduating, I can teach english there for a year or two.

I am a huge buffalo bills fan, and our family has season tickets.

I love watching basketball.
I love to take naps.
My eyes are blue.
My favorite season is winter.

I appreciate the spanish culture.

I'm chasing my dream to teach ela at university.

I plan to school others in speaking.

We are fans of the local football team, we have never missed a game.

I like hoops.
I enjoy short sleeps.
I don't have brown peepers.
I like the colder months.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Good, how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] I am good. Do you like sports? I am a big sports fan

[Speaker 2] I do. I really like watching basketball games.

[Speaker 1] I love the buffalo bills, my family holds season tickets

[Speaker 2] That must be great. I actually love watching the games.

[Speaker 1] Are you in college? I currently go to union college to be an english teacher

[Speaker 2] No, I am out. Work a lot and then just love taking naps.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice I love naps! I'd also like to study abroad in spain.

[Speaker 2] That would be cool to do. What color are your eyes? Mine are blue.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I want to teach there for a year or two. I have hazel eyes.

[Speaker 2] I would love to go. I like cold places though, my favorite season is definitely winter.

[Speaker 1] I love the fall. I won't go during buffalo bills season of course

[Speaker 2] Don't blame you. Must be cold in buffalo.

I like sports.

I love buffalo bills.

I like naps. I want to study abroad in Spain.

I want to teach in Spain for a year or two. I have hazel eyes.

I like fall.

I like watching basketball.

I like watching buffalo bills too.

I work a lot. I like naps.

I have blue eyes.

I would love to go to Spain. I like the cold. My favorite season is winter.

[Speaker 1] Fall is my favorite season for hiking because the leaves are so beautiful!

[Speaker 2] Do you go hiking near your college? I actually love walking in the winter because everything looks so whimsical.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I will hike near my school because it's so lovely landscaped, naturally and enhanced, around there. I've even tried to hike in the winter, but I can't seem to do it in colder weather. Since you love winter, do you ever hike during that time?

[Speaker 2] Wow it must be a great campus to go to everyday! I can hike during the winter as long as the weather is not too extreme. Have you looked up any places to go hiking in Spain?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I am always surfing online about Spain and soak up what I can about it since I will definitely be going in a year. I know I will miss going to see the Bills while I'm there though. Do you ever go to their games?

[Speaker 2] You should let me know if you ever find anything interesting during your online research! I try to see the Bills in person whenever I can get tickets but I mostly go to pubs with some friends and watch there. Do you get to go?

[Speaker 1] Yes, they're my favorite team so I make sure I find a way to go to a few games each year. But, I don't think they will be willing to travel to Spain for me to play!

[Speaker 2] Hopefully that will give you something to look forward to whenever you come back after teaching abroad!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think it will be one of the first things I do. But, I haven't really been able to do it much lately. I've been so tired from my studies, that I will end up taking a nap, instead of going out.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine how hard college must be but it is worth it once you have your degree and job lined up. Do you know what grades you want to teach?

[Speaker 1] Since I will be teaching English, I am hoping to focus on middle school. I like interacting with students at that age.

[Speaker 2] That is probably the most important and difficult age group so I commend you. I know you will do great and work really hard.

I like Fall. I like to hike. I don't like to hike in winter.

The buffalo Bills are my favorite team.

I get tired from my studies.

I like watching buffalo bills too.

I work a lot. I like naps.

I have blue eyes.

I like walking. I go to the pub with friends.

[Speaker 1] I found a great website about Spain.

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, send me the link for sure! What kind of website?

[Speaker 1] It is interactive website which enables you to explore whole Spain! I love it! There are also a plenty information about the country

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Like a street view type thing? Have you looked at where you're going in Spain?

[Speaker 1] Yes, exactly like that but with more details than Google's version. I am still not sure but for now, I prefer Barcelona

[Speaker 2] That sounds incredible! I will have a look too - maybe I can get some leave to come visit when you're out there? I'll definitely go for the cooler months of the year for sure!

[Speaker 1] Of course, I would love that. Hmm Barcelona doesn't actually have winter ha ha, at least not in traditional way. It feels more like fall even during winter months

[Speaker 2] Ah, the conflict of loving the cold but wanting to visit Spain. Hopefully I can tolerate it for a week or two, I mean... the pina coladas would be such a hardship! Hopefully there's some good hiking for you around there?

[Speaker 1] You will love it anyway, trust me, it is a perfect getaway from cold weather. Barcelona is surrounded with hills and mountains so there's a plenty of hiking activities to choose from

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! I will have to brush up on my Spanish for sure - you're quite fluent now, right?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is part of my course. I mean, I have to be fluent if I want to teach English in Spain. Enough about me, what about you? What do you do as a job?

[Speaker 2] Ah! Well, I've been flitting between jobs at the moment. I'm not sure what I want to do long term, so I'm currently pulling pints at the same pub I showed you when you were in town last - remember the one with the retro jukebox?

I am in school at Union college to be an English teacher. I want to study abroad in Spain. I am going to Spain in a year.  I want to teach middle school English in Spain for a year or two. I have hazel eyes. I may go to Barcelona. I'm fluent in Spanish.

The buffalo Bills are my favorite team.

I get tired from my studies.

I like watching buffalo bills too.

I work a lot. I like naps.

I have blue eyes.

I prefer the cooler months of the year.

I'm a bartender.

[Speaker 1] I've finally nailed down my trip to Spain!

[Speaker 2] That is fantastic, I am so jealous! What are you going to do when you get there?

[Speaker 1] I'll probably find some nature reserve to visit and go on a hike when I first get there! Are you into hiking?

[Speaker 2] Oh you can hike anywhere! But it is your trip. I like to walk but hiking is kind of hard. I don't think I have the right equipment or stamina for that

[Speaker 1] You can go on easy hikes! It's just nice to be outdoors. You can also build up stamina over time and you don't need any special equipment.

[Speaker 2] I've heard that you need special shoes to go hiking. Is that not true?

[Speaker 1] No, not necessarily. Often I just wear normal walking shoes and they're not expensive. Do you have any?

[Speaker 2] Oh I have a bunch. Someone told me you need special shoes with a lot of tread so I never tried it. Maybe I should go on a hike soon. Are there any easy hikes around here?

[Speaker 1] No, not if you go on easy hikes. And yes, there are plenty around. You should just look for some online. You can even read reviews on them.

[Speaker 2] Thats a good idea I think I am going to check them out and look for the easy ones. I also think this would help me burn more calories than the walks that I do now

[Speaker 1] Exactly. Hikes are also great for your health as they get your heart rate going faster than walks. You have nothing to lose.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully I don't pass out!
