I am a freelance writer.

I love working out.

My parents live in kentucky.

My favorite type of music is metal.

I currently am engaged to my high school boyfriend.

I barely show up to work.
I pay my employees minimum wage.
I am married with one child.
I own my company.
I make 70k a year.

I jot down my thoughts.

I like to go to the gym.

My mom and dad live up north by hollywood.

I like death bands.

I am going to marry my sweet heart.

I never go to my job.
I don't make a lot of money.
I have a spouse and a kid.
I work for myself.
I earn seven thousand yearly.

[Speaker 1] Hey, are you the guy I met at that metal show last night?

[Speaker 2] Maybe. I am pretty hung over.

[Speaker 1] Oh me too! I could not even work out today, I'm so tired.

[Speaker 2] I hardly even go to work, haha.

[Speaker 1] I hear ya, I work from home as a writer so I took today off.

[Speaker 2] I own a business. I should probably pop in more often.

[Speaker 1] What type of business is it?

[Speaker 2] It is a grocery store. Small business.

[Speaker 1] Do you sell much organic food there?

[Speaker 2] There's an aisle dedicated to that, yes!

[Speaker 1] That's great! Back home in kentucky farmers markets and organic produce is important.

[Speaker 2] My wife made me carry organic food.

[Speaker 1] Good for her! My boyfriends does not care about it as much as I'd like.

[Speaker 2] Just force it on him, it worked for my wife.

[Speaker 1] Ha! Great tactic, I will try that.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure everything will work out fine.

I drank alcohol. I work out.
I work as a writer. I work from home.
I am from Kentucky.
I am in a relationship with a guy.

I drank alcohol.

I own a grocery store.

My grocery store has an organic aisle.

My wife forced me to care about organic food.

[Speaker 1] How are things at your grocery store? Did you ever pop in like you said you needed to?

[Speaker 2] Things are going great. Thanks for asking. No, I havn't gotten the chance to pop in yet. Hopefully this week. Have you started any new writing projects since we last spoke?

[Speaker 1] I've been tossing around a few ideas in my head this week.  Nothing firm yet, maybe I need some more liquid inspiration.

[Speaker 2] Ha, ha! Do you find you write better when you drink? When I drink I get very sleepy. No inspiration whatsoever

[Speaker 1] I feel that I can relax a bit more when I just have a drink or two.  Anything more and I find I can't focus like I should.  Do you sell alcohol in your store?

[Speaker 2] I completely understand. Well, whatever gets your creative juices flowing. I used to sell alcohol in my store but I think my wife is slowly converting my store into a specialty store... vegan, organic. Business seems to still be going well, so I do not interfere

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good way to go, people are becoming more health conscious nowadays.  I feel like I should try going on a vegan diet but it's really  hard to give up meat.

[Speaker 2] That's what I was thinking. Our customers seem excited about the organic produce and don't mind paying more. My unsolicited advice would be to do it in phases. Maybe start with one meatless day, then two until you work your way up. What are your thoughts on that technique? Do you think your partner would support you on your vegan journey should you start?

[Speaker 1] I think so, he is very health conscious and doesn't eat meat much anyways.  I actually think following a strict diet may not be the best plan, everything in moderation.  If people just cut back on their meat consumption like you said that would help a lot.  And then naturally people may start to find that they prefer vegan meals over red meat.

I drank alcohol. I work out. Alcohol helps me relax. I am a meat eater.

I work as a writer. I work from home.

I have a male partner.

I own a grocery store. My grocery store has an organic aisle.

I drank alcohol. Drinking makes me sleepy. I don't sell alcohol in my store anymore.

[Speaker 1] I'm feeling inspired to write my next project about my journey to trying out veganism.

[Speaker 2] Well what do you say come by my store and pick up some fresh produce? We carry vegan meats too.

[Speaker 1] I definitely will! I think it will be challenging for me to stop eating meat, so it will be good to have substitutes. I especially enjoy hamburgers, so I hope you have a vegan option for that!

[Speaker 2] You don't have to cut down meat right away. Maybe try both vegan food and meat and maybe you can slowly start cutting down on meat?

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. Like eating a hamburger with a salad and vegetables. My partner is actually the one who suggested I write about trying veganism. I hope other people will be interested in hearing about it too!

[Speaker 2] Yea you are a good writer so if you publish your experience with different diets I am sure people will pay attention. So how's yoru partner doing?

[Speaker 1] He is doing well. He works as a trainer at the local gym, so he is very health-conscious. A lot of his clients are vegans, actually. I bet many of them shop at your store!

[Speaker 2] You know I lost some customers once we stopped selling alcoholic beverages. So I am not sure if your partners' clients shop at my store.

[Speaker 1] That's okay, sometimes it is more important to make what you feel is the right personal choice, rather than the right business choice. How is your store doing?

[Speaker 2] I guess it is popular to young and health conscious generations. But I think I may need some exotic food to attract more customers. I am thinking of creating a Japanese aisle or a Greek aisle

[Speaker 1] I think that is an excellent idea! Both of those cultures have many healthy foods.

[Speaker 2] A friend of mine is from Greece and he makes great hummus and eggplant dishes. That is where I got the inspiration


I have a ton of energy.

My dad drove a truck.

I drive long distances for work.

[Speaker 1] She does, when I retire we are going to travel.

[Speaker 1] Hey. How are you on this beautiful saturday?

[Speaker 2] I'm actually headed to the salon to get my nails done

[Speaker 1] Oh really that is nice. I've to work. I am a cop in detroit.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a rough job

[Speaker 1] My beat is the suburbs so it is not to bad.

[Speaker 2] Well that's good at least. Do you enjoy your job?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do but sometimes I take off to go horseback riding.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun! I like animals alot

[Speaker 1] So do I. I was raised on a kansas farm.

[Speaker 2] I'm from the city, I basically grew up in my parents store

[Speaker 1] Wow. What kind of store do they have?

[Speaker 2] Groceries, but they're considering expanding

[Speaker 1] That is cool. My wife and I plan to go scuba diving soon.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun too. How long have you been married?

[Speaker 1] That is cool. My wife and I plan to go scuba diving soon.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun too. How long have you been married?

I go horseback riding on my days off.

My wife and I want to go Scuba Diving.

I like animals.

I grew up in the city, at my parent's store.

My parents own a grocery store.

[Speaker 1] Are you interested in getting any pets?

[Speaker 2] I am.  My apartment is small so I'm thinking maybe a mini daschund.  They seem easy enough to care for.  Do you have any pets other than your horse?  I've always wanted to ride but thought it might be too expensive.

[Speaker 1] Yeah a small dog is good for a small apartment.  They are cute dogs too. Keeping a horse can be expensive. I keep mine boarded at a farm nearby and ride as often as I can. My wife and I have two cats at home though.

[Speaker 2] Cats are fairly laid back animals.  I've always wanted one but I'm allergic.  How are you enjoying your retirement?  20 years on the force!  Congrats!

[Speaker 1] I love animals but cats are easy to take care of at home since I work a lot. I am not retired yet, I think you are thinking of my supervisor who just retired.  I think he is enjoying it though.

[Speaker 2] My mistake.  I'm sure everyone enjoys retirement!  So are you thinking about applying for the supervisor position?

[Speaker 1] No they already filled the position. That is okay though, someday I will move up the ranks. So do you still live in the city? And what was it like growing up at your parents store?

[Speaker 2] Yes actually, just a few blocks away from the store.  They're actually grooming me to take over the business.  It was amazing (and still is) growing up there.  I learned so much about food, the community and made a lot of friends.  How are the plans coming along for the scuba trip?  Are you still planning on going this summer?

I work as a cop in the Suburbs of Detroit. I am not retired yet. I work a lot. My supervisor retired. I want to move up the ranks.

I go horseback riding on my days off. I like animals because I was raised on a farm in Kansas. I have a horse.

My wife and I want to go Scuba Diving.

I have two cats.

I like animals.

I grew up and live in the city, at my parent's grocery store. I'm going to take over the family business one day.

I have small apartment. I want a mini Daschund. I want a cat but I'm allergic.

[Speaker 1] I have a lost dog looking for a new owner. Would you want to adopt it?

[Speaker 2] I'm more of a cat person, but either way my apartment is very small so i don't think having a pet is a good choice right now! Poor puppy, do you have anyone else to ask to adopt him?

[Speaker 1] Not at the moment. I really wish he had a collar with some information on it! I feel so bad for it. Maybe I'll take it to a shelter that doesn't practice euthanization.

[Speaker 2] You definitely have to ask that before leaving him there, that will be so sad! Where those that commitment to animals come from?

[Speaker 1] I guess it started back when I was a kid. I was raised in Kansas on a farm so I've always been surrounded by animals!

[Speaker 2] Of course, That's where it comes from! I don't think I've ever been in a farm, I've always been a city kid, grew up in New York, helped my parents at the grocery store when i could!

[Speaker 1] At least you got to learn a great work ethic from a pretty young age! That's so cool to be from New York, though. I have always wanted to visit. Detroit isn't quite as big of a city as NYC.

[Speaker 2] Yes my coworkers always tell me that, I have to thank both my parents for that! What is it really like to live in Detroit? I bet you can find bigger apartments than here!

[Speaker 1] It's definitely different than Kansas! It took a while for me to get used to it, but I think I've gotten the hang of it now. I'm not quite a city dweller yet, but I'm making my way there. The apartments here are definitely bigger, and cheaper too!

[Speaker 2] If i ever move from NYC i definitely consider Detroit, and don't worry you'll get used to sooner than you think! Maybe I can go there and visit you, that way I can meet those two lovely cats you have!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they'd love that! Those two love attention. It's weird, considering how aloof cats are known to be!

[Speaker 2] They sound adorable i'm looking foward to meet them, lets just hope my allergies don't get the best of me!

[Speaker 2] What kind of dogs do you have?

[Speaker 1] I've 2 pitbulls. Do you have any animals?

[Speaker 2] No. I live in a college dorm. I am lucky to get to keep my car!

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I wish I was still in college. My job has me working nights

[Speaker 2] What do you do? Night shift can be rough! My dad does at the er.

[Speaker 1] I'm a security guard. It is a good job, just tiering

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. The stadium security guards are pretty nice here.

[Speaker 1] What stadium? Where do you live?

[Speaker 2] The college football stadium. I play here, so I get to know them.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I played football in college to. But that was a long time ago

[Speaker 2] What position did you play? Surely not so long ago

I have two pitbulls.
I graduated college. I work nights.
I am a security guard.
I played college football.

I don't have pets. I live in a college dorm. I have a car. I am in college,.

My dad is a doctor. My dad works night shifts.

I play college football.

[Speaker 1] I saw you play in yesterday's game. You did a great job.

[Speaker 2] Thank you I appreciate it. It was the last game of the season so I wanted to impress the scouts. I want to become a pro.

[Speaker 1] You sure have the potential. I wish you all the best.

[Speaker 2] Thank you. Who did you watch with or did you go alone?

[Speaker 1] I was with a friend. Had to catch up with him because it had been long. What are you doing over the weekend? Have got any plans?

[Speaker 2] That is nice to hear. What is his name? I will be going to my grandparents for the weekend. They live in Canada.

[Speaker 1] Name's Dave. He was my best bud in college. And that's great! Enjoy the trip to Canada. It's going to be pretty cold out there so, stay warm!

[Speaker 2] Did he play football with you back then? I hope so, what are you getting up to yourself?

[Speaker 1] He did, actually! That's how we met at first! I don't have any plans really. Just me and my pitbulls. And after working all these night shifts, I do need to catch up on my sleep a bit.

[Speaker 2] Oh pitbulls, how many do you have and what are their names? I don't have pets but I would like a dog. You should get some rest for sure.

[Speaker 1] I have two, Snoopy and Max. Max is older. They are the best! You should get one too. Dogs are surely a great company!

[Speaker 2] Max is also the name of my older brother! I have been looking at getting a labrador.

I don't have pets. I live in a college dorm. I have a car. I am in college.

I play college football. I am athletic.

My grandparents live in Canada. I have one older brother.

[Speaker 1] I have stopped working nights and now I am not as tired anymore, I can spend more time with my dogs and I am a lot happier and well rested.

[Speaker 2] That is great! I bet that your dogs are happy to have you home at night. Do you bring your dogs on a lot of walks?

[Speaker 1] I try to take them on morning jogs because they have too much energy. Sometimes I wonder if two dogs is too much responsibility for me.

[Speaker 2] I am sure they both want your attention so that can be tiring at times. But it sounds like they help you to get out of the house which is good. Are you still working as a security guard during the day?

[Speaker 1] Yes, still a security guard the only thing now is just working in the day. It has been difficult to find another job since I graduated college.

[Speaker 2] Do you know what kind of job you would like?

[Speaker 1] Well my degree is in sports medicine and I played football in college so I am very interested in that area of work.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, that sounds like a good fit for you. I hope that you are able to find a job you like.

[Speaker 1] Thank you I appreciate that. Enough about me, how is it going for you in college?

[Speaker 2] It has been busy. Aside from a full schedule of classes, we are doing a lot of weight training and gearing up for spring ball.

[Speaker 1] Man I miss the days in the weight room. Does coach still do the bench press competition every Friday?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I actually won a couple of times! I didn't know how long that has been around so it is cool that you did it too.

I have two pitbulls.

I am a security guard.

I played college football.

I stopped working nights. I only work in the daytime. I have graduated college. I have a degree in sports medicine.

I used to do weight training.

I play college football. I am athletic.

I do weight training and play ball. I have won a bench press competition before.

[Speaker 1] How's weight training going? You ready for preseason?

[Speaker 2] You know it! The football season this year is already shaping up to be something special.

[Speaker 1] What position do you play?

[Speaker 2] I'm the quarterback this year! I've been doing a lot of weight training to make sure I have the muscle mass for it.

[Speaker 1] Great strategy. How much can you bench press?

[Speaker 2] I'm over 300 lbs, now! I won a competition earlier this year for it

[Speaker 1] Wow! in all my years of weight training I couldn't get past 225 lbs. Be careful with that much weight. Are you stretching like you're suppose to?

[Speaker 2] Of course I am! My dad has cleared everything -- you remember he's a doctor, right? -- and my coach checks in on me frequently when we all train.

[Speaker 1] Glad to hear it. Also glad to know your Dad is taking such an active role in your weight training. Was he the same when your older brother played football?

[Speaker 2] He was towards the end, after my brother had his concussion playing. I think he got scared into doing it, but I don't mind. He keeps me in check and makes sure I don't overwork myself.

[Speaker 1] No matter the reason. Its great that he's there for you. Did your brother have any lasting effects from the concussion?

[Speaker 2] No, everything turned out okay, thankfully. That's the dangers of football, I guess. Our coach has been trying to get a team doc hired to avoid any injuries this season.

[Speaker 1] I need help taking care of my daughter but he does not care

[Speaker 2] Sounds like we need to get some spicy tex mex!

[Speaker 1] I could go for some food. My boyfriend would be jealous.

[Speaker 2] I'm a chick, so I'm not sure why. I need to pandora the pretenders.

[Speaker 1] He's jealous of everything. Not specifically you

[Speaker 2] Sounds like he needs some essential oils.

[Speaker 1] Maybe, how much does that cost

[Speaker 2] It varies. Just research purity beforehand. I use them daily.

[Speaker 1] He has no money and I really don't want to buy him any

[Speaker 1] Oh it was busy at work and then I'm still busy at home. But dinner is done so its time to chill. Have you taught your puppy any new tricks.

[Speaker 2] No new tricks for my puppy. She's already way too lively! I took her in the garden this evening to run some of the energy off and she had a great time! How is your daughter doing?

[Speaker 1] Oh she is doing great. She is ready for summer so she can go surfing more.

[Speaker 2] Oh surfing! That sounds great! It's one of the things I wish I could do! How's your boyfriend? Is he job hunting?

[Speaker 1] He is still on the hunt for something permanent but has been doing temp construction jobs.

[Speaker 2] Okay. I hope he gets something permanent soon. Have you tried using essential oils on your skin yet?

[Speaker 1] Not on my skin but I do use them in a diffuser. What are the benefits of using it on my skin?

[Speaker 2] Some essential oils are great for treating skin conditions. For example, lavender is great in a diffuser, but also has benefits for dry skin

[Speaker 1] OK I use eucalyptus in my diffuser. Is that any good for my body?

[Speaker 2] As a matter of fact yes. Eucalyptus oil is excellent for soothing sunburn so maybe after a day or surfing, you could try it on a small patch of your daughter's skin and let me know the results.

[Speaker 2] Tea tree oil is good for skin and hair.

[Speaker 1] I love tea tree oil. It smells so good. Do you make any of your own oils?

[Speaker 2] Not really but I mix oils with coconut oil to make a nice lotion. How do you use oils?

[Speaker 1] There's one I use for headaches and one that I use for stress and anxiety that I find really helps. How have the kids at school been this week?

[Speaker 2] They are excited for spring and I am too!

[Speaker 1] Definitely. Do you take them outside for class at all?

[Speaker 2] I would like to but they just want to run so we save it for recess. How has your work been?

[Speaker 1] It's been okay. I don't love it and I'm still looking for my passion. How did you know that you wanted to teach?

[Speaker 2] I used to teach my homework to my stuffed animals so it was always my jam. What interests you?

[Speaker 1] That is so cute! Well, I know that I like helping people and I also like creating things so I'm really not sure what to do with that.

[Speaker 1] How has your attorney work been today?

[Speaker 2] It has been stressful, but that is pretty typical.  How about you - how is your work recently as an editor?

[Speaker 1] It has been very busy as we are working to get next month's issue ready for print. Are you still able to find time to exercise with how busy work has been?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I just wake up earlier if I need to or work out at night.  If I miss a workout, I have way less energy.  Do you exercise?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I like to get my workouts done in the morning because my evenings are so up in the air with the magazine.

[Speaker 2] Yes, morning workouts are definitely ideal.  Does the magazine also have a digital version?

[Speaker 1] Did you look at the new Runner's World magazine that just came out?

[Speaker 2] I have it, but I haven't gone through it yet. Are there any good articles?

[Speaker 1] I was looking at the new shoe reviews. They're putting a lot of new technology in sneakers to help you run faster.

[Speaker 2] How are they for comfort? I bought a pair for speed, but I felt like I didn't have as much support.

[Speaker 1] I was looking at one pair of Nikes and the review said they had good padding, but I think Nikes are too narrow for my feet.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've seen some reviews that say that. Are you signed up for any races?

[Speaker 1] Not right now, I haven't done any speed work in months. I am not in race shape! How about you?

[Speaker 2] I am thinking about signing up for a 5k next month, and then working my way up to a 10k, then a half marathon. Would you be interested in signing up?

[Speaker 1] I'd be up to run a 10k with you. You might be too fast for me to keep up with though!

[Speaker 2] I'd stay with you. I think they are just fun to participate in. I'm not usually in them to win.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever won a race before? I've never even come close to winning.

[Speaker 1] I am cuddling it until it gets better. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] Aww. That's sweet. I don't have a pet yet but I am hoping to get a cat soon. They are so adorable.

[Speaker 1] Yes my cat is called Roley. Will it just be your cat or do you have a boyfriend?

[Speaker 2] That's a lovely name for a cat. Yes, I live with my boyfriend and he likes cats too so, we are looking forward to getting one. What's your dog's name?

[Speaker 1] That is nice, what is his name? My dog is called Barney and he is 10 years old. My dad said we can get another animal soon too. I like to walk them.

[Speaker 2] So, you and Barney are the same age! That's wonderful! My boyfriend's name is Kay.

[Speaker 1] Yes, my parents got me and him at the same time. That is a cool name. What do you like to do with him?

[Speaker 2] That's great! So, you must be very close to Barney. And thanks! He's still attending college, finishing his Masters and is mostly occupied with work and stuff so, we usually go out over the weekend. There are some days when I don't even get a chance to see him or talk to him which is sad.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, he follows me everywhere. That is sad, I get sad when I don't get to see my friends. But I get to see them at school so it's ok.

[Speaker 2] It's good to see friends at school else school will be so boring. Anyway, I'll catch up with you again soon. Have a good night, Stacy.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I hope Barney is okay. Are you really worried?

[Speaker 1] Yes, fortunately it's just a small infection. They gave us some medicine to clear it up. Have you found any cats you like?

[Speaker 2] Oh good, I am glad to hear that. I have been volunteering at an animal shelter and have found several cats that I would love to adopt. It is so hard to decide on one.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that can be hard. Are you looking for an older cat or a kitten?

[Speaker 2] I thought I would want a kitten, but the more time I spend with the older cats, the more I want to bring them home. What do you suggest?

[Speaker 1] Both have their pros and cons. I always think it's fun to have a kitten around, but the older cats need homes, too.

[Speaker 2] I agree, it is a tough decision to make and I hope we make the right one. How has Roley been doing?

[Speaker 1] Roley is good. She just finds the sunlight in the house and relaxes. Sometimes she gets up to mischief at night, though.

[Speaker 2] Uh oh, does she keep you up?

[Speaker 1] She like to jump on me in the middle of the night, or get on the counter and knock things down. Nothing major, just cat stuff.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, I hope nothing expensive has gotten broken.

[Speaker 1] I wonder if your snake would eat my beta fish?

[Speaker 2] I don't think you would like fish.

[Speaker 2] Definitely not just a fish! But a part of the family. I currently don't work but have recently done an internship in the desert. You?

[Speaker 1] He really is part of the family. How was the internship? Did you struggle with it being so remote? And do you know where you want to work? I work in a gun store, and I'm head of the gun club in my spare time.

[Speaker 2] It went well! It was out in the desert so there was nobody else but me and the trainers. Not sure where I would like to work but as long as it is in the desert, I am happy. What's it like working in a gun shop?

[Speaker 1] That must have been great, taking some time out from everything. It's really interesting, guns really are a huge hobby for me so it doesn't feel like work at all. Everyday is a little different. Have you been playing games online recently?

[Speaker 2] I play a lot of shooting games, so I have an online character on a specific game that uses guns. That's really good to hear that you love your job though!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I played for most of the day, got really stuck on a level and just couldn't leave it! do you play video games>

[Speaker 1] Here and there with friends but hardly ever on my own. I prefer the gun range or hunting when I get bored. What's your game about?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to have a go of using a real gun! It's set in world war two time, very closely follows real events of covert operations that were going on

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a lot of fun. And yeah, if you'd like, you can join my gun club. There's plenty of beginners so you won't feel out of place. Could probably get you shooting targets at the range this weekend if you're interested.

[Speaker 2] that would be amazing, I'd love to join! where does your gun club meet?

[Speaker 1] Usually at my house. Sometimes we just hang out and chat and other times we go out to find something to shoot at. You'll have lots of fun.

[Speaker 2] yeah that sounds great, sign me up! how long have you been working at your gun store?

[Speaker 1] Ever since high school. That's also around the time I started the gun club. There was a shooting at the school and I wanted to promote responsible gun ownership instead of people being divided over gun rights.

[Speaker 2] what a great idea, that's a very proactive way to tackle the issue we have here! How many guns do you own yourself?

[Speaker 1] I have 12 guns. Three pistols, a revolver, two rifles, four shotguns, and two assault rifles. The rifles and shotguns are mainly used for hunting. The rest are for the range.

[Speaker 2] that's an impressive collection, can't wait to see them all up close


I like to take walks.

We plan to travel after he retires.

Many of my former students like to visit me.

I am a retired school teacher.

My favorite hobby is gardening.
I'm 77 years old.
My family gets together every saturday.
Black coffee is my addiction.
My husband died last year.

I like to be outside.

I hope to see the world with my husband.

I have graduates who come to see what I have been up to.

I used to work in education.

Some would compare me to fine wine.
I spend a lot of time with my parents.
I need caffeine or I'll die.
I'm a widow.

[Speaker 1] Hello care to chat before my walk?

[Speaker 2] Yes. Sure. This day, last year, my husband died.

[Speaker 1] Oh no!. I am very sorry to hear about that.

[Speaker 2] That's okay. I have been in this world 77 years, my time is almost up too.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any fond memories from your childhood?

[Speaker 2] Yes. Every saturday, my entire family comes together and we have a wonderful time.

[Speaker 1] Does that still happen? Or something from the past?

[Speaker 2] No. It still happens. I love it when we are all together.

[Speaker 1] Ah I get visits from my grandchildren too.

[Speaker 2] That's very nice. What is your hobby? I love gardening.

[Speaker 1] I like cooking for my family

[Speaker 2] That is nice. Speaking of cooking, I'm addicted to black coffee.

[Speaker 1] Coffee is the best sometimes I have it black, sometimes I have a little creamer.

[Speaker 2] Yes, do not forget the creamer. Very important.

[Speaker 1] Ha, I've to go work on dinner. Talk to you later.

[Speaker 2] Talk to you later. Nice talking to you

I have grandchildren.
Cooking is my hobby.

I am a widow.
I am 77 years old.
My family gets together every saturday.
Gardening is my hobby.
I like black coffee.

[Speaker 1] Do you know any good black coffee brands?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is Star Bucks.  I try to buy it every week from the local Star Bucks store.  Are you going to buy some coffee?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking of picking up a few brands of black coffee to test them out.  I'll definitely add Starbucks to the list now.  I need to pick up some grocery items anyways, I'm planning on cooking some steak and twice baked potatoes.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good.  I love twice baked potatoes.  I may make some for Saturday when my family comes over.  It is so hard to cook for only myself during the week.  Do you have any good recipes for one?

[Speaker 1] I use my grandmother's recipe which uses a lot of heavy cream and 3 kinds of cheese.  I'll send you the recipe later if you want.  The good think about it is you can cook a lot of it at once and it tastes even better when you have them as leftovers.  Do you grow any vegetables in your garden?

[Speaker 2] Thanks I would love to try it.  I grow tomatoes, onions and cucumbers.  Do you garden?

[Speaker 1] I have a small herb garden that I grow in the house so I can always have fresh herbs when I'm cooking.  I'd like to do some vegetable gardening but the weather here isn't conducive to that.  You can make a great salad with the vegetables you're growing.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that is what I do.  I make onion and cucumber vinegar salad with tomatoes. It is one of my favorites. And, I always have plenty of vegetalbe for my family and the neighbors.

[Speaker 1] I can't use a lot of vegetables when I'm cooking for my grandkids, they won't eat them unless they're covered in cheese.  It's nice that you see your family every week, are you the one that usually cooks for them?

[Speaker 2] Yes I am the cook.  My daughter helps me but I do most of it before they get here.  I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get to see them every week.  Veggies are so good covered with cheese, I like veggies with about anything.

[Speaker 1] There's nothing better in the world than spending the night with your family with the smell of great cooking in the air.  How long have you drank your coffee black?

[Speaker 2] For about 5 years.  I never used to like it, then I tried it at a friends house and now I love it.  Don't forget to email me your recipe for the potatoes.

Cooking is my hobby.  I cook often.

I want to try new black coffee brands. I like steak and potatoes.

I have a small herb garden in the house. Where I live the weather is not good for vegetable gardens.

I have grandchildren who don't like vegetables much.

I am a 77 year old widow.

I love twice bakes potatoes.  I live by myself but have family who are coming over to my house on Saturdays.

I have been drinking black coffee for about 5 years. I didn't use to like it but love it now.  My favourite brand is Starbucks and I buy it every week.

[Speaker 1] How did your family dinner go?  I hope they enjoyed your cooking!  Especially with all those home grown ingredients you use.

[Speaker 2] It went very good.  My daughter helped me with the cooking and my son-in-law cooked the meat on the grill.  How is your day going?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing very well, just getting home and ready to start cooking dinner. I had to go to the grocery store earlier to buy a few things. I wish I had a garden of my own like you.

[Speaker 2] It is so nice having my own veggies, but it is a lot of work too.  If my grandchildren didn't help me I don't think I'd be able to do it.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine. Some years ago I grew some tomatoes indoor but it's just not the same as growing them outside in soil and sunlight. Are you doing any cooking tonight?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm eating leftovers tonight.  Have you found a black coffee that you like?

[Speaker 1] I actually just went looking for it at the grocery store but came up empty handed. I think I need to go to a specialized store or maybe looking online. My hunt continues.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure you'll find one you like.  I was thinking about your grandchildren not liking veggies.  I was wondering if you've tried mixing them in different foods?  Like I always add tomato when I make macaroni salad.  Maybe they would like them that way.

[Speaker 1] You know, I ought to try that. A vegetable macaroni and cheese combination does not sound bad at all. Do your grandchildren like vegetables or do you have to fight with them like I do?

[Speaker 2] They like them,  I think it is because they help me grow them.  lol

[Speaker 1] Very true, I'm sure the taste is much better than store bought, plus they help you grow them which helps.

[Speaker 2] I think the fresh, home grown taste better.  Do you buy many fresh veggies?

Cooking is my hobby.  I cook often.

I want to try new black coffee brands. I love coffee. I like steak and potatoes.

A few years ago I tried indoor gardening but wasn't too successful at it.

I am a 77 year old widow.

I have a garden and grow tomatoes, onions and cucumbers. Onion and cucumber vinegar salad is one of my favourite salads.  I grow an abundance of vegetables and share them with family and friends. I have a daughter who helps me cook. My daughter is married. I have grandchildren who help me with the garden. My grandchildren eat the vegetables that we grow.

[Speaker 1] Guess what? I finally found my specialty coffee I've been looking everywhere for!

[Speaker 2] From a gal who frequents Starbucks, I'm eager to hear how it compares!

[Speaker 1] It doesn't even compare! I like starbucks when I'm in a rush, but these beans are on a different level!

[Speaker 2] Do you like the artisanship of the beans? Any specialty recommendations for black coffee?

[Speaker 1] i like the chocolate notes the best, i've got a real sweet tooth. and it really depends on your preference! I would recommend these if you like a sweeter coffee

[Speaker 2] Thanks! In return, I can recommend a good parsley and cilantro supplier, that supplemented my vegetable garden well.

[Speaker 1] oh wow, that'd be great! i've been looking for new ways to add flavor to my meals lately

[Speaker 2] Red onions always add that extra zing! What veggies do your grandchildren eat?

[Speaker 1] they love to eat carrots and zucchinis. i like zucchini but carrots not so much, so i mostly make us dishes with zucchini

[Speaker 2] Zucchini fritatta I can recommend as well, though sometimes it brings back memories of my late husband and his melodious singing while making it. "I've been working on the rail-road..."

[Speaker 1] that sounds like a nice memory, at least! and i'll have to try to make that soon!

[Speaker 2] As a widow I am a bit lonely, so want to get together some time? You bring the herbs and good coffee, I bring the veggies?


I like children.

I am easily angered.

I only like certain foods.

I spend a lot of time listening to my little man tate cd.

I love a good competition.

I prefer to do what I want to do.

I know how I feel about a person pretty quickly.

I need caffeine to exist.

I prefer the summer.

[Speaker 1] I do not know if I've got what it takes to be an elementary school teacher...

[Speaker 2] You have to believe in yourself. No one else will.

[Speaker 1] Haha, but I am such a bad example to kids man.

[Speaker 2] If you went to school, I doubt that. You must have some confidence.

[Speaker 1] Sure, but if I cannot eat my veggies how can I tell kids to?!

[Speaker 2] Just tell them they need to do it more than you since they are still growing.

[Speaker 1] I could try, but I'm also bad at handling backtalk. Bad temper, or short.

[Speaker 2] Set up a punishment schedule to keep you both in line.

[Speaker 1] What if we all just sat around and sang alands morisette songs instead? Ll

[Speaker 2] Probably not. I work with college kids and that would not work.

[Speaker 1] What? That seems like the best route for college kids!

[Speaker 2] Nah. Maybe the artsy ones, but I have the jocks.

[Speaker 1] Jocks can be sensitive too!

[Speaker 2] Maybe. I guess we are all just too focused on the game.

[Speaker 1] What kind of game does not have room for good music?

[Speaker 2] Football. Most of them are looking for the pros to draft them.

[Speaker 2] Thank you. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] I teach yoga to high school kids 3 times a week, you?

[Speaker 2] I'm a csr for a big company

[Speaker 1] Whats that? What kind of company?

[Speaker 2] Csr customer service representative. I work for apple

[Speaker 1] Wow pretty neat! Do you like it?

[Speaker 2] Yes I love it. I also just opened my online shop in august

[Speaker 1] Nice! What are you selling? Anything I might buy?

[Speaker 2] I sell all sorts of things. Www. Cafepress. Com lelesfashionshop1

I went to high school.

My name is Lele.
I work for a big company doing CSR.
I work for Apple.
I opened an online shop in August.

[Speaker 1] How is your online shop is going, and how many sales you have had.

[Speaker 2] It's going pretty good thanks, I got about 50 sales since we last spoke!

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I got another gig doing yoga at the gym a couple of times a week.

[Speaker 2] Oh so your schedule must be quite busy now then. Do you get much family time?

[Speaker 1] Oh I have plenty of family time. I've been thinking of taking up distilling as a hobby. Any new gadgets coming from Apple?

[Speaker 2] Oh, Making some beer? I'd love to try some. Uh well, you know Apple, rinse and repeat the same old. I hate my job, once my shop takes off I will quit.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I've had corporate jobs before so I know what a drag they can be. That is why I like the yoga gigs. I bet your shop will be kicking it soon.

[Speaker 2] Yeah working on your own terms must be great. I hope so, I'm working hard and hiring my boyfriend to help me out.

[Speaker 1] It is a lot of hustle and hours but it totally pays off in the long run. Just remember the big picture.

[Speaker 2] Yeah thanks I'll keep it in my mind. I'm thinking about getting some pets since I'll be able to spend more time at home.

[Speaker 1] Oh are you a dog or cat person?

[Speaker 2] I had a dog when I was kid, I love them. I'm thinking about getting a daschund. What about yourself?

I went to high school.

I work as a yoga teacher in a high school 3 times a week. I take a yoga class a couple of times a week at the gym.

I have family I see.  I am thinking about starting distilling beer as a hobby.

I have had corporate jobs in the past and did not enjoy them.

My name is Lele.

I work for Apple doing CSR. I do not like it, I hope to quit when my online shop becomes more successful.

I opened an online shop in August and it is going well.  I have made 50 sales recently. I have a boyfriend and have hired him to help with the online shop.

I am thinking about getting some pets as I intend to be working from home more. I had a dog when I was younger and love dogs.  I am considering getting a daschund.

[Speaker 1] How is everything going with your online shop?  Do you think you're getting close to leaving your job or do you need a bit longer for it to really take off?

[Speaker 2] The shop is going great! We just hit our 500th sale mark. I think it will be several more months at least before I can quit my full time job.

[Speaker 1] That's great news! On the sales, and on being able to quit your main job fairly soon. Congratulations. You're inspiring me to finally start distilling beer and perhaps sell it if it's any good, haha.

[Speaker 2] The craft beer scene is pretty popular right now so there is a market for you. Just make sure to invest in good packaging and branding. That does half the job of selling for you.

[Speaker 1] You're probably right on that one. I suppose people are more concerned about a cool looking label and the intended effect than they are with how it tastes going down. As long as it doesn't taste too horrible, I guess.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, lol. I've seen that with my business. After hiring a graphic designer to update my website and branding, my sales really improved. Will you be doing any flavored beers?

[Speaker 1] Anything is possible I suppose. Some sort of IPA that tastes like any other ale going down but with a crisp blueberry aftertaste would be neat, maybe. I should start looking into places I can go to brew my own ale.

[Speaker 2] You should be fine with a small place at first. You can always upgrade later. Just be sure to follow health department rules so you don't get shut down.

[Speaker 1] That's some good advice on all fronts. Fancy label or not, I doubt any upstart craft brewery will survive much longer after a public health shutdown. Definitely going to keep following regulations a priority.

[Speaker 2] So how is your full time job as a yoga teacher going?

[Speaker 1] It's still part-time for now. It's going well though. The students really seem to be having a lot of fun learning all the poses. Hoping to get a full workweek teaching yoga at the school soon.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully that kicks in soon. On my front, my work days are dragging by. I can't wait till I can hand in my resignation.

[Speaker 2] Science. My parents thought it would be a good thing for jobs. What did you study?

[Speaker 1] Science is always a good subject to choose. It is constantly developing! Isn't the technology that we have today and how quick it has evolved just amazing?! I studied Psychology.

[Speaker 2] That's fascinating. I've always found psychology really interesting. Downloaded any good apps on your phone lately?

[Speaker 1] It is so interesting. It is a great tool to help people and I really enjoy doing that. I have a fitness app that can track my food intake and my exercise. I am also playing a few good games. I like management and tycoon games. Do you have any good apps? What games do you like to play? .

[Speaker 2] I've been playing Fruit Ninja a lot recently. I hadn't played in years and I'm addicted again! What mobile games do you like?

[Speaker 1] Oh the retro ones are the best. Remember the days when all we had is snake? I love to build things and to manage things. I am playing box office tycoon at the moment. It is really fun. Do you get much time to play with college?

[Speaker 2] I loved Snake! That's the only thing I miss about my old Nokia lol. I don't get a lot of time, but I try to make time for relaxation. It's important, isn't it?

[Speaker 1] Snake was the best! Plus the fact that Nokia's were indestructible LOL! Yes, relaxation is so important. You must remember to make time for yourself. How do you like to relax?

[Speaker 2] I hang out with my dogs and play Fruit Ninja! Lol. How do you relax? Any psychology tips?

[Speaker 1] I found a great app for the game frogger! I wanted to tell you since we both like retro games.

[Speaker 2] Oh thats great, tell me more about it.

[Speaker 1] Basically you are a frog and you have to cross the busy road to get to the other side. Have you never played it?

[Speaker 2] Oh thats an very old game, like the road crossing one. I loved it.

[Speaker 1] What other games do you like to play?

[Speaker 2] Battlestar Gallactica was the one that occupied my teenage.

[Speaker 1] I can't say that I have ever played that before. Have you been playing anything lately?

[Speaker 2] Snake is still fresh. I love to play it all the time.

[Speaker 1] Is that game still around?! I used to play that on my Nokia phone!

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is still available in smartphones.

[Speaker 1] How interesting. I don't really have any other games on my phone other than Frogger right now.

[Speaker 2] Oh, you should check at the classic game category then. Tell me about your fitness app.

I like retro games the most. I love to build and manage things. I own the game Frogger on my phone now. I have not played Battlestar Gallactica.

I used to own a Nokia phone. I used to play Snake, but not recently.

I have dogs.

I have iphone 6s.

Relaxation is important to me. I played frogger a long time ago.

I am at least in my twenties, maybe older.  I used to play Battlestar Gallactica.

[Speaker 1] Are you finished up with your semester?

[Speaker 2] Yes!  Summer vacation is here and I can decompress!  Going to destress with some gaming!

[Speaker 1] Nice! Are you gonna start a new game? Or go with some good old fashioned Snake

[Speaker 2] I still like snake but I am looking for someting that is more challenging.  Any ideas?

[Speaker 1] Rollercoaster tycoon is classic and really good. You can do one of the more recent versions to get better graphics haha. You build your own amusement park!

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun!  do you get to make your own rides too?

[Speaker 1] Yeah! You can just buy existing rollercoasters but it's so much more fun to build your own. At least in some of the versions if you build it wrong it'll crash during the test run

[Speaker 2] that sounds dangerous.  I dont want to kill anybody.  how extreme can you make them?  Can i add flips and barrell rolls for miles?

[Speaker 1] Hahaha I don't know about miles but maybe! They do follow physics so you'd need to build up enough momentum to keep going, but you can build some crazy stuff!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot fun.  Ive never gotten to much into tycoon type games.  How much actual management would I have to do?

[Speaker 1] Only as much as you want to. There are different modes. In Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 at least you can do sandbox mode and you have unlimited money. I enjoy the money aspect but it's not for everyone

[Speaker 2] maybe I can play in the sandbox until I get comforatable  I dont want an easy game and I do want a challenge.  Are there any achievemnts in roller coaster tycoon games?


I have terrible taste in music.
I wish I were slimmer.

[Speaker 1] Nice name. I also have a dog, but it doesn't live with me. I actually live with my cat named Majora. Are you fond of cats?

[Speaker 2] Not really, they aren't cuddly enough for me.

[Speaker 1] That's true! Dogs are the most cutest actually. Are you still a nurse as you had mentioned to me?

[Speaker 2] Yes, and I work nights and weekends usually.

[Speaker 1] That must be tough. I can't imagine working at night and weekends! I work as a national guard and sometimes, but very rarely I do have to work on the weekends. I literally don't like that. Its so difficult working during the weekends.

[Speaker 2] I'm kinda used to it now. I am able to enjoy warm summer afternoons before I go to work.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can imagine that. I used to work in the medical field previously before working as a national guard, and you're usually working at nights and weekends. So, eventually you get used to the routine. Well, I am glad you enjoy summer afternoons, because I love winter, and really enjoy the weather!

[Speaker 2] Has your guard unit ever been deployed?

[Speaker 1] No, it will soon be deployed. Its a really tough job though. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I agree. What do you do in the guard?

My name is Paul.

I love winter.

I like to hike.

I work as a national guard in a public affairs liaison. I have not been deployed yet. I have previously worked in the medical field.

I don't live with my dog. I live with a cat named Majora.

My name is Lucy.

I love the summer season.

I bake a lot.

I am a nurse.

I have a puppy named Jack. I have a beagle named Bonnie. I don't like cats.

[Speaker 1] My guard unit has been deployed and it was the toughest thing ever.

[Speaker 2] Where is your guard unit deployed? I hope everything is under control.

[Speaker 1] They were deployed to Kuwait, I hear it is going okay right now but it was hard staying behind while everyone else left.

[Speaker 2] I am sure it is difficult being away from your unit. Good to know that everything is okay. I did a lot of baking this past week. Have you been hiking anywhere lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I've hiked a couple local trails but haven't found any new trails lately. What did you bake this past week?

[Speaker 2] I baked a few cupcakes and cookies. I also baked a cake for my friend's birthday. It turned out quite good if I may say so myself.

[Speaker 1] That's great! What is your favorite flavor of cake to bake?

[Speaker 2] I like vanilla cake with salted caramel buttercream. I also enjoy baking chocolate lava cakes. The gooey centre is yummy :)

[Speaker 1] Both of those sound amazing. I can't believe I have never had a chocolate lava cake before, I will have to try one soon.

[Speaker 2] You must. It just looks deceivingly hard to make but in fact is so simple. Takes all of 30 minutes from finish to start. It is one of my favorite desserts to eat.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds easy, I will definitely give it a try. How is work going?

[Speaker 2] Work has been a little hectic but nothing I can't handle. It is the season I suppose. But not it is getting more manageable.

My name is Paul.

I love winter.

I like to hike.

I did not travel with my National Guard unit to Kuwait.  I have communicated with some other members of my unit.  I'm unhappy in some way about not going to Kuwait.

I've never eaten chocolate lava cake. I don't have any dietary restrictions that keep me from eating cake.

My name is Lucy.

I love the summer season.

I am a nurse.

I bake a lot. I like to bake. I tend to bake sweet things. I like vanilla and chocolate cakes. I've baked more than one chocolate lava cake.

[Speaker 1] How are Bonnie and Jack? Taken them anywhere interesting?

[Speaker 2] Bonnie and Jack are doing well and we just returned from a trip in which they did well.  Have you traveled lately?

[Speaker 1] That's great! I saw your picture of them on Social Media you posted earlier. They're so cute. No! I'm still stuck in the same old place. I really can't wait to get out of Kuwait.

[Speaker 2] Is Kuwait safe? I always wonder how countries are since I've only lived in the States.

[Speaker 1] I mean, it can be dangerous if you don't have military training, or any general street smarts. But luckily, I've not seen anything too dangerous yet. Would you ever like to go on a trip out of the States?

[Speaker 2] I would love to travel outside of the States. I have always wanted to go to Australia, Iceland and Norway. I see movies or videos of the great restaurants, bakeries and pubs that they have and would love to experience their food and of course desserts. Is Kuwait limited in desserts that you like?

[Speaker 1] My brother lives in Australia and I have visited him, he lives in Melbourne. Its so beautiful over there! I'd also love to travel to Iceland and Norway. Well, it's okay. I'm not really a fan of the food here in Kuwait in general, it's just not to my taste.

[Speaker 2] Since you like hiking have you been hiking in Kuwait or is it pretty much flat ground?

[Speaker 1] It's pretty much all flat ground, no hills or mountains around here! I almost forgot to ask, have you baked anything nice recently?

[Speaker 2] I have made 16 chocolate lava cakes for friends and family in the last 30 days. I'm almost sick of smelling chocolate! Thank you for your service in the National Guard. Have you been in long?

[Speaker 1] Wow, sixteen?! That's a whole lot of baking. I've never had chocolate lava cakes, I'd love to try. You're more than welcome! Yes, I've been in service for 8 years now.

[Speaker 2] You definitely need to try a chocolate lava cake. It is so chocolaty and so delicious. A chocolate lava cake will become your favorite dessert!

[Speaker 1] Oh, I know a lot about women studies! I'm a women studies major, minor in music.

[Speaker 2] I wish I could afford to drop it. Tell me about your band.

[Speaker 1] I play the piano for them, but the pianos a little hard to integrate with rock.

[Speaker 2] That sounds cool. I have stage fright so no band for me.

[Speaker 1] I guess I am just accustomed. I have been playing since I was little. Anything is possible.

[Speaker 2] I avoid the spotlight and public speaking. Turning left scares me too.

[Speaker 1] I ran track for school. What was that one time? So mysterious.

[Speaker 2] I saw the easter bunny, he was hidden behind my closet door.

[Speaker 1] Spooky... My dog would go ballistic at that. Do you have an easter bunny phobia?

[Speaker 2] I do now. It was terrifying.

[Speaker 1] I bet. I would never close that closet again.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, most people don't believe me, but I know what I saw.

I love music. My favorite song is Kingdom Come by Coldly.

I ran track in school.

I have a dog.

I live in Alabama.

My mom is a checker at the grocery store.

I love music.

I do not run for exercise.

I have a phobia of the Easter Bunny.

I hallucinated the Easter Bunny.

[Speaker 1] I found a new favorite song!

[Speaker 2] OK. As long as it's not Sweet Home Alabama, I'll amuse you.

[Speaker 1] Well, I guess I'll have to find a new favorite song then. What have you and the Easter Bunny been up to?

[Speaker 2] That was seriously your favorite song? How disappointing. It's just a stupid song about my home state and people who listen to it are stupid and probably vote for the Democrats. .... why would you ask about the Easter Bunny? You know he hunts me. Hippity-hoppity horror every damn day. Are you in cahoots?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow. I just kind of like the tune, I didn't know what it was about. And no, not in cahoots... unless he wants to give me some Easter candy? (joking, joking)

[Speaker 2] Find better taste in music. And while you're at it *squints eyes menacingly* maybe you should find better friends than the Easter Bunny. He's from one of the bluer states. That's why he's giving out all the candy to freeloaders. He's trying to stop me from expressing myself and taking away my first amendments.

[Speaker 1] Oh.... oh. Okay. Good point. How is your mom? I bet work has been busy before the Super Bowl.

[Speaker 2] My mother is fine. She maintains her career as a checker at the grocery. How are your people, all good? And where did you say you were from? Mary-land? New York? Cal-ee-forn-ee-a? How can I be sure I trust you? Are you a Democrat?

[Speaker 1] Glad your mom is fine. And I am in Indiana, the great Midwest. We've been pretty blood red for a while now.

[Speaker 2] That's where our VP-for-life came from (or should have been VP for life! haha! know what I mean? I man Ca-ma-la? please!). Indiana's good people.

[Speaker 1] We're pretty hardworking and keep to ourselves. Remember that fly on his head? Man, did people go crazy about it!

[Speaker 2] That fly on whose head? What are you talking about? On my head? On your dog's? Your daddy's? What? Who?

I live in Indiana. My dad lives and works in China. My father is a banker. I do not understand banking.

I ran track in school.

I have a dog.

I live in Alabama.

I do not run for exercise.

I have a phobia of the Easter Bunny.

[Speaker 1] I found a song that's better than Sweet Home Alabama.

[Speaker 2] No way, that's impossible! What is it called?

[Speaker 1] It's called Driver's License. Have you heard it?

[Speaker 2] I have heard that song on the radio. It's so catchy. I think there is a Tik Tok challenge for it.

[Speaker 1] There is! It's so emotional and catchy. I love it!

[Speaker 2] It's definitely a good one. I wonder what the song of the summer will be!

[Speaker 1] I can't wait to find out. Probably something upbeat and catchy. Like Sweet Home Alabama but modern.

[Speaker 2] That song is definitely a favourite for a lot of people but I can never get into it.  It seems like the electronic songs these days seem to be the popular ones. I just like anything with a good beat

[Speaker 1] Yeah a good beat is essential to me too. I haven't liked music ever since The Chainsmokers got big a few summers ago lol

[Speaker 2] You haven't liked music?! Why not!?

[Speaker 1] I guess I exaggerated. I just haven't liked the top pop music on the radio. It's too electronic and soulless.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I understand! It's good that the classic stations on the radio exist then.

I ran track in school.

I have a dog.

My new favorite song is Sweet Home Alabama. I love the song Drivers License. I like music with a good beat. I don't like modern pop music.

I live in Alabama.

I love music. I do not like the song Sweet home Alabama. I like music with a good beat.

I do not run for exercise.

I have a phobia of the Easter Bunny.

[Speaker 1] I have found some new songs I think you might like, with great dance beas.

[Speaker 2] Oooh nice, I need new music. Who's the artist?

[Speaker 1] They're brand new! They're called the Piccadilly rats, I came across them on Spotify recommendations. I've had it om repeat all day!

[Speaker 2] Huh I've never heard of them, I'll have to check them out! They don't do any songs about Easter, right?

[Speaker 1] For sure, I'll tag you in my Spotify playlist later! haha, you and the Easter Bunny! But no, they definitely don't mention that in any of their songs.

[Speaker 2] Ok phew, gotta make sure! The other day I was minding my own business on youtube and an ad came on for easter candy and there he was, his beady eyes staring right at me!

[Speaker 1] Well, that's the danger of YouTube, one minute you're watching something totally unrelated and you end up on the most random of things! The other week I ended up watching some super strange documentary and wasted hours without realising it.

[Speaker 2] omg that happens to me all the time! The algorithm takes me to the weirdest places. Do you remember what the documentary was about?

[Speaker 1] I know right! I know you're scared of rabbits, but I call it 'falling down the YouTube rabbit hole'! It was all about aliens and the lizard people. So strange, but I couldn't stop watching for the life of me. Do you believe in aliens?

[Speaker 2] hahahaha that is a good phrase. And I think there's probably life somewhere out there, but we'll likely never find it. That still doesn't stop me from being entertained by Ancient Aliens haha. Georgio is hilarious

[Speaker 1] Haha! It's like Alice in wonderland falling down! Hmm, I'm not too sure myself. I mean, if the universe is truly infinite like they say, there HAS to be more life right?! But, at the same time I just can't see it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's one of those mysteries we'll probably never solve in our lifetimes. We can't be the only planet with life! But there's a weird observation bias, like if life was super rare, we'd still be guaranteed to observe it

[Speaker 2] Really? Tell me, what was in the meal?

[Speaker 1] It was a quinoa salad with vegan bacon. I'd never tried it before, but even my husband who loves real bacon said it was good. How's Baltimore? Pretty cold right now?

[Speaker 2] I love quinoa so I am sure I would love it. I had no idea vegan bacon existed. Wow! What is it made from? Yes, Baltimore is pretty chilly right now but I love it that way. How about you? What weather are you getting in the midwest?

[Speaker 1] I have no idea - some of the science they have for these foods is amazing. It's so snowy and windy right now! I hate shoveling but at least everywhere looks beautiful, right?

[Speaker 2] Haha! I need to research that bacon before trying it. I have turkey bacon very often It is my preference, but vegan bacon? Wow. I definitely would love to try. Yes, everywhere does look beautiful. Shoveling is such a chore but I don't do it. My husband does it and I cook warm soups and run a bath for when he's done

[Speaker 1] Ohhh now that's the way to do it! He does the hard work, you stay inside and get everything ready for when he's done. Are you excited for spring and summer? I want to go camping and hiking!

[Speaker 2] Yes! I don't cook often so it's a special treat for him doing all the hard work. I love hiking!! I am definitely looking forward. I have an excursion booked for April. Hike a trail and camp over night. I can't wait! Do you do any fishing or hunting?

[Speaker 1] No, my husband likes to fish and I like to sit and read a book while I wait for him to catch dinner, ha! Do you like to fish or hunt?

[Speaker 2] Ha! Reading is such fun! I do not hunt but I used to fish with my Dad as a child (I think I mostly got in his way and I wanted to keep each one as a pet), so I would love to try on my next camping trip in memory of him

[Speaker 1] Oh that's wonderful. Even if you only catch a teeny tiny fish I'm sure he'd be proud. It's about carrying on the tradition, right?
