[Speaker 1] Hi. How are you? I just got back from a city council meeting.

[Speaker 2] Hey I'm good. Whats that song the village people sang from the 70s?

[Speaker 1] Ymca? Lol why do you ask?

[Speaker 2] Oh, its just the the gym that I work out at. How was the meeting?

[Speaker 1] So do you eat healthy too? The only food I eat is locally sourced.

[Speaker 2] Organic, non gmo, grass fed and finished. I like to eat during movies

[Speaker 1] Me too. How do you feel about the outdoors? I love the wide, open space.

[Speaker 2] I love the outdoors, its why I cut my hair short. Feel the breeze

[Speaker 1] Nice. My house is on 5 acres. I love it. So much space to just be free.

[Speaker 2] Got any cats on that ac ridge? I'm allergic

[Speaker 1] Nope. It is feline free.

[Speaker 2] You know I wrote a song called feline free. I'm learning piano right now

[Speaker 1] Nice! Go you! I think I want to get some horses.

[Speaker 2] I would not mind horses. Tell me more about yourself

I attend city council meetings.
I eat healthy, locally sourced food.
I have a house.
I do not have cats.

I work out at the YMCA.
I eat healthy, organic food.
I have short hair.
I am allergic to cats.
I am learning to play piano.

[Speaker 1] Have you learned any new songs?

[Speaker 2] working on one now. starting slow since I'm still new to playing.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really cool. I've heard that piano is good for your health too, since it relaxes the mind.

[Speaker 2] that's an interesting fact. I didn't know that. taking care of my body and mind is very important.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I place it high on my priority list. That's why I only eat healthy and locally sourced food. My house is full of it.

[Speaker 2] same here. I know people say it's more expensive, but I look at it as I can either spend the money on my food, or spend the money on doctor and hospital bills to try to get me healthy later.

[Speaker 1] Exactly. That's why I don't have cats. I don't want to go to the hospital because I got cat scratch disease. Completely unnecessary.

[Speaker 2] I think that's pretty rare to get. I like cats but I can't have them because I'm allergic.

[Speaker 1] I've found that my allergies get better when I eat locally sourced food. Fewer pesticides. That's why I've been pushing for the city council to establish more local gardens.

[Speaker 2] more local gardens would be wonderful. I think everyone should get together to grow a certain food in their yard and share it with their neighbors. then no one will have to go hungry or worry about paying for food again.

[Speaker 1] Yes, with more natural food in your diet, and less chemically processed stuff, who knows, maybe you'd have fewer allergies? Maybe you wouldn't be so allergic to cats.

[Speaker 2] I already eat well so I'm not sure if that would help. but I'd definitely be willing to give it a try.

I have a house.

I do not have cats.

Taking care of my body and mind is important to me. I only eat healthy food. I locally source my food.

I don't have a cat.

My allergies improve with my local diet. I have been petitioning the City Council to start more local gardens.

I work out at the YMCA.

I have short hair.

I am learning to play piano.

Taking care of my body is important to me. Taking care of my mind is important to me. I only eat healthy organic food. I locally source my food.

I don't have a cat. I am allergic to cats.

I believe in community co-op gardening. I think neighbors should take care of each other.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever done any work with local schools or groups regarding starting Co-Op growing?

[Speaker 2] Not yet but I am seriously thinking about it. Would you be interested in volunteering?

[Speaker 1] I would love too. I believe we owe it to the next generation to teach them responsible ways of sourcing food. For me, it's an ethical and moral decision, even more than a physical health one, though that is a consequence. What got you into this lifestyle?

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to treat my body the best way I can. It led me to wanting others to feel they can afford to eat the best foods for their body as well. That's why a community garden in my neighborhood would be worth trying out.

[Speaker 1] Exactly. A lot of people feel like eating healthy is too expensive for them. A community garden would be the perfect educational opportunity. I have a feeling that if you can do it with local schools it will be even more significant: winning the children is winning the future. I use to be relatively obese, and I started dieting and eventually got to a healthy weight but I was barely eating and just counting calories and not really paying attention to what I ate, so I started researching organic eating and that started me on a journey.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I did have to learn how to eat after leaving my parents home. They ate lots of crap. You think your getting a hearty meal but it turns out it's killing you! I fill my plate with mostly veggie. My carbs come from beans and sometime I will add a little meat but only like 2 ounces.

[Speaker 1] You are exactly right. I learned my bad diet from my parents. One of the most harmful parenting messages is "finish your plate". My diet is similar to yours, except if I have a taste for meat, I will usually just eat a veggie burger. I'm not a militant vegan, but it makes me feel better when I eat less meat.

[Speaker 2] I do like my veggie burgers! I can't believe I actually crave them! Back in the day I never thought I'd be hungry for one. Haha! I really love my veggie crunch taco's too. I never do them the same way twice.

[Speaker 1] Haha I feel the same way. The old me would be surprised about how full I feel all the time. What kind of exercising do you do to stay healthy? I do alot of cardio myself with light weight lifting.

[Speaker 2] I love to swim. Sometimes I join in with the swimming aerobics if they are practicing that day. Made a few older friends that way that I sometime help out.

[Speaker 1] Wow. That sounds cool. I think community is very important for exercise. I run with a group of friends every few days. We keep each other encouraged.

[Speaker 2] That would be cool! What day do you run? maybe I will join in and see if I like it. Never been a runner.

[Speaker 2] Got some good shots of the last few snowfalls. Standard stuff for the area. Get any snow down your way?

[Speaker 1] Nice work!  Look at you getting all artsy.  We havent gotten a lot of snow but its been ridiculously cold.  It makes me miss summer right now. I cant wait to go to some of the street fairs again and stuff my face with all the street food!

[Speaker 2] Street food seems very far away right now! But, it will come. Hows work?

[Speaker 1] Its been slow!! Apparently you have to be funny in my line of work...who would have thought!  I really should have kept in school with you.  I just got so fed up with college.  How did you stay so motivated?  I cant believe you passed the board exam!

[Speaker 2] I just kept plugging away at it. Its easy for me to get distracted by life. I have learned at time to just keep my head down and keep going.

[Speaker 1] And it helps that you're a good story teller....hey how do you know when a lawyer is lying.....  Whenever his lips are moving!!!

[Speaker 2] Its a fact. It hurts less as the practle line between truth and fiction blurres.

[Speaker 1] Hey at least you're making the big bucks now! Which means that the next time we go out to Olive Garden you are buying.  Because I am just a poor little starving comedian.  Can you say all you can eat breadsticks?!

[Speaker 2] And soup! The soup and salad lunch deal makes me smile just thinking aobut it. What are you starving for? Your funny!!! Just not work around or what?

[Speaker 1] MMM SOUP!   The biggest thing is the theater I used to go to is closing down so I have to find a new place for my gigs.  Thats really all, ive taken the last month and a half off so ive just been kind of lazy.  I think I just need to get back out there and do it before I forget how to be funny!

[Speaker 2] Well hey, some time off is good for ya. It's a bummer when somethnig messes with your rythem in life. A new place will come though.

[Speaker 1] I just booked a new gig at the improv house downtown. They want me to do a weekly set for the next six weeks - if I crush it they are talking about giving me a residency there!

[Speaker 2] That's great news! Will your family be able to visit from Utica to watch one of your sets?

[Speaker 1] Not this time but I'm sure they will make their way out for a few of them. Congrats on your board exam by the way!

[Speaker 2] Thanks! It was an uphill battle, but I'm happy to finally be able to put all those years of education to good use. Sometimes the job gets a bit stressful, but taking time out for myself to take pictures and enjoy nature helps.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I love nature! My vacation was mostly out in nature but it's back to the concrete jungle for me. I will take some trips to the park while I'm here.

[Speaker 2] Were you able to get out of state? Work is keeping me tethered to the east coast right now, but I would like to plan a road trip for when things are less busy.

[Speaker 1] I went to Colorado and did a lot of camping and hiking. Got to see the Grand Canyon. It was pretty breathtaking.

[Speaker 2] I haven't been to Colorado in years, but I remember how beautiful it was. I think I might even have some pics saved somewhere that I took around Sprague Lake.

[Speaker 1] Wow! I'd like to see those. I took a few selfies while I was there. When is your vacation? You must get some pretty nice vacation time being a lawyer.

[Speaker 2] It's actually much less time than you would think; although, I hope that once I'm more established I'll have a bit more freedom. For now, I feel like I have to work extra hard to prove myself to those with more experience. If all goes well, I might be able to take a week around the end of the year. Have you made any holiday plans yet?

[Speaker 1] I will probably be working for the holidays. Lots of people seeking to catch a good comedy show on the holidays.

[Speaker 2] Have you met any of the other comedians at the improv house yet? Any big names I might know?

[Speaker 2] I know, I am watching it now. I have an alarm set for when it comes on.

[Speaker 1] I'm watching it now too. You've got my hooked on this show, it's so exciting haha. Who's your favorite character?

[Speaker 2] I have always loved judge Ve Neill. She is my favorite. How about you? Who is your favorite?

[Speaker 1] Judge Ve Neill is my favorite too! Her make up skills are out of this world. She's so nice to the contestants too!

[Speaker 2] I know, I love that about her, how she is one of the more courteous people on the show. And her skills are absolutely fabulous!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've been a big fan of hers since Star Trek. Her make up skills on set were amazing!

[Speaker 2] It is so crazy how a great make-up artist can completely transform a person. I didn't know she was involved with Star Trek. That just makes my respect for her go up a level.

[Speaker 1] I think she was the lead make-up artist for Star Trek. So basically she had a hand in all the characters looks. Everyone looked so realistic too! I'm totally fangirling over her haha.

[Speaker 2] That really is extraordinary. I just knew her from Face Off, but I didn't know her background. I have such a larger appreciation for her work now. I am a fangirl too! Lol!

[Speaker 1] Do you wanna go to a Face Off live casting with me next week? I managed to get tickets from a radio show. I would love to go with someone who can appreciate the art with me

[Speaker 2] That's cool, I love Face Off. It's one of my favorite shows.

[Speaker 1] It will be my most ambitious painting to date, but I think I can pull it off.

[Speaker 2] My hobbies are more physical. I like to be outdoors and to go running.

[Speaker 1] Do you normally run alone, or with others? I prefer to hike and paint outdoors.

[Speaker 2] I mostly run alone. I find I cover more distance that way.

[Speaker 1] True, you don't want a partner who is not in shape holding you back. Have you ever considered trying a marathon?

[Speaker 2] I've tried a few, but still prefer the solitude. I'm not that big on socializiation.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen any good syfy shows lately besides Face Off?

[Speaker 2] No, most SyFy shows are terrible. They tend to get canceled quickly anyway.

[Speaker 1] I tend to like SyFy shows, however I have to agree they do get canceled after one or two seasons. It makes it difficult to get into the story when you know you probably won't get a decent ending.

[Speaker 2] At least you don't get too attached and then they botch the last season, like Game of Thrones.

[Speaker 1] oh then you can carry on your work.my business is going well.

[Speaker 2] I agree.  My favorite sports are ones in which I rely on myself, and not a team.  so volleyball would be out, but I love swimming, tennis, and even golf.  My newest sport I have been attempting is mountain biking... although I prefer to ride with a few friends on trails.  Do you ever go biking?

[Speaker 1] yes, i love biking.i have been into surfing also these days.

[Speaker 2] I have never surfed.  I am so scared of falling off and hitting whatever is on the ocean floor... like rocks or coral.  Is it a difficult sport to learn?

[Speaker 2] Hey that is great news!  You will love it.  I have just found some new trails by my house and unfortunately I took a little fall and bruised my knee badly.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! I hope that it isn't too serious of an injury! That will really cut down on all of your favorite activities since they are all so physical!

[Speaker 2] Yes, mountain biking was a more extreme choice than I usually go for, but I enjoy the challenge and the feel of the wind.  Have you looked into what kind of bike you would get?what type of

[Speaker 1] Something that rides good on sand since I live near the beach. Any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] For entry level a lot of people like the Specialized Rock Hopper Model.  It is very easy to ride and comfortable for a beginner, but also very flexible and can handle most types of terrain.  Are there any bike shops near you?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, tons. People that live around here really enjoy being in shape and outdoors activities. They also surf a lot. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] Cool, maybe check online for reviews on which shop is the best, the people who work in the shops are so knowledgeable.  Hav I ever been surfing?  No, I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to the ocean.  It is so powerful I am afraid to even go swimming.  I admire people who have the courage to go swimmin in such deep water.  Do you surf?

[Speaker 1] Yup all the time! I am an ocean lover. Anything to do with water, I'm there!

[Speaker 2] That is so cool.  I did not grow up near the ocean.  I grew up in Iowa and did not even see the ocean until I was 17.

[Speaker 1] There's still plenty of time left for you to visit more often!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I m definitely making up for it later in life, but I might not catch up to suring.  Are there ever sharks near you?

[Speaker 1] Not as much as I would like, I was only able to watch a horror movie yesterday with my girlfriend.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful -- you have someone to cuddle with when it gets tense! Did you meet your girlfriend in college?

[Speaker 1] Actually yes, I met her in one of my past classes. We had originally worked as partners for a class project, and we hit it off immediately.

[Speaker 2] How lovely! Are you currently active in the military while in college?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I had signed up a couple years back. At this point, I primarily work in an office, and they help pay for my college tuition.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful. I have to pay my way through school. On top of working as a cashier, I teach horse riding and snowboarding for side income. Tuition fees have gone through the roof!

[Speaker 1] Definitely, tuition prices seem absurd in comparison to how much college cost in the past. Its great that you have so much skills that you can teach for others, I would love to learn how to snowboard.

[Speaker 2] I'm heading to Big Bear this weekend. I have extra snowboard gears that I could lend you and give you a free lesson (no charge of course, you are a good friend). Would you like to join me?

[Speaker 1] I think I should be able to join you, I even think my girlfriend is off this weekend from work. It would be a nice way to relax after this busy week for me.

[Speaker 1] How are you doing for this semester? Are you finished or do you have finals to study for still?

[Speaker 2] I haven't even starting studying for my finals. I'm so screwed :(

[Speaker 1] Too busy watching movies? I feel you on that, when finals come I feel like all my motivation is drained even though they are usually the most important tests.

[Speaker 2] Exactly. If I studied for half the amount of time I spend watching movies I would be in good shape. I can't wait to finish school and never have to worry about exams ever again.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, me too man. Maybe you can teach me some snowboarding after finals. My job is taking a few weeks off for some office remodeling.

[Speaker 2] Does that mean you're working from home or do you get a vacation?

[Speaker 1] It's going to be a vacation actually! Will be a fun bit of time off.

[Speaker 2] Sweet. What do you have planned?

[Speaker 1] Well I'm hoping to learn some snowboarding from you but other than that I think I'll check out a steak restaurant with my girlfriend. Oh and I want to catch up on some horror and mystery movies with her as well.

[Speaker 1] I just knew I wanted to be a pilot so I pursued that. You like to travel?

[Speaker 1] What have you been up to today?

[Speaker 2] Driving fast somewhere in the corner

[Speaker 1] That is dangerous! Maybe you should not be chatting

[Speaker 2] I'm lucky enough to beat death last time

[Speaker 1] Sometimes you only get one time. Your life matters

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but I'm actually a giant with a gentle heart

[Speaker 1] I want to paint a mural of you

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, do it with my family with me

[Speaker 1] Do you like art the way that I do?

[Speaker 2] All art are cool and awesome

[Speaker 1] I go to art school

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, for how long already?

[Speaker 1] I just started this year!

[Speaker 2] Oh, how long it will take

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. But I'm really enjoy painting with acrylics

[Speaker 2] Wow, that s awesome I might do that too

I am an artist.

I am in my first year of art school.

My favourite material to paint with is acrylic.

I sometimes drive to fast.
I have nearly died once before.
I am tall and have a gentle heart.
I like art.

[Speaker 1] How is your driving going, are you being careful?

[Speaker 2] After the incident I am driving much more carefully, I never want to be in that situation again!

[Speaker 1] Glad you learned your lesson I suppose. I can see why you wouldn't want to go through that again. Maybe buy yourself a junky car too. One that doesn't even go fast.

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to reduce my driving anyway, been riding my bike a lot more! Do you ride a bike to art school?

[Speaker 1] I take the bus. Actually just got a brand new bag to carry all my supplies in. Really excited about it.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's good, must be a nightmare having to carry all those loose items, have you picked up any new paints recently?

[Speaker 1] Haven't been able to. Blew all my savings on the bad. I've got my eye on this crimson color that I think will bring some nice depth to my work though.

[Speaker 2] Crimson is definitely a great colour, would really stand out! Hopefully you can recoup all your savings and quickly too.

[Speaker 1] Trying to sell some of my pieces at a coffee shop right now. You should check them out. They are up at brew station on 5th.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to, I'll ride my bike there some time, anything to support you. How is school coming along?

[Speaker 1] Still going well. I heard that second year is when it gets really tough though. You doing any painting yourself?

[Speaker 2] I'm not all that gifted at producing art but I definitely can admire it! I'm sure I'll admire yours.

I am an artist. I am in my first year of art school.

I don't have any savings. I want a crimson colour paint. I am trying to sell my artwork at a coffee shop.

I sometimes drive to fast. I had a driving incident.  I have nearly died once before.

I am tall and have a gentle heart.

I am driving more carefully. I have a bike.

I like the colour crimson. I like art and am not good at art.

[Speaker 1] I sold my painting at the coffee shop for 325 dollars so I can buy the crimson colour!

[Speaker 2] Nice, anything in the spectrum/shade of the color red will never disappoint. That was a good deal you got on your art especially being in the first year of art school

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am very proud that a piece of mine sold. With this color of red I am purchaseing can paint my next vison, the grand apple. It will be an apple at the top of mount Olympus

[Speaker 2] Haha that sounds great. Hopefully you get to sell your future masterpiece for even more. Have you ever tried digital painting or painting with oil paint

[Speaker 1] Well acrylic will  always be my preferred medium, I'm old school like that. But I do see a bright future for all the young artists trying to master the digital medium. As far as oil paints go I find them to be far too messy.

[Speaker 2] I'm bad at art, but I definitely prefer the old school material more. So how is art school treating you? Is it hard?

[Speaker 1] Art school is very challenging. I often find that artists just want inspiration from others not instruction. So sometimes I have to swallow my pride and allow the teachers to show me "art" through their perspective.

[Speaker 2] I see what you mean, and I can definitely relate it to it. I don't like the structure of higher education. I learn better on my own, and with something as subjective as art, I can see how the rigidness can be a problem. Did you put part of the 325 in your savings?

[Speaker 1] Hahah I am glad you see things my way, art will always be in the eye of the beholder as they say. No I was not able to put any of the money away to my savings account. Does the phrase starving artist ring a bell?

[Speaker 2] LOL. I'm no artist but I can relate to the starvation part with all the speeding tickets I have racked up from my reckless driving. I might just ride my bike from now on.

[Speaker 1] Oh so many issues. Worried about my I will mom in the er

[Speaker 2] I hope she's okay. I will pray for her.

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much. Please pray for me too. I've many bills related to my health

[Speaker 2] Oh wow I will. I go every sunday at church and pray for everyone.

[Speaker 1] Can you also pray for healing for my teeth? I can barely chew right now

[Speaker 2] Wow I can. I'll tell my dad to as well. He's a preacher.

[Speaker 1] I feel better now that I know people are praying for me. I miss my old life

[Speaker 2] Good. Do you have kids? My 3 year old always cheers me up.

[Speaker 1] I wish I did. Back in my marathon days I always thought I would have them

[Speaker 2] You still can! I decorated her room purple everything! My favorite.

[Speaker 1] I am too sick and busy caring for my sick mom now

[Speaker 2] I am sure. Are you even able to work right now?

[Speaker 1] No I need to though due to all of my bills from hospital stays

[Speaker 2] That is hard. Someone should start a go fund me for your family.

I am not doing well.

My mother is in the ER

I miss the past

I need to work. I have medical bills.

I attend church on Sundays and pray for people.

My father is a preacher.

I have a 3 year old daughter.

My favorite color is purple.

[Speaker 1] How I am feeling and what I am doing to get better after knowing someone is going to be praying for my well-being.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I testified on your behalf and everyone prayed for you. We all are very hopeful for her recovery! How is she doing, now?

[Speaker 1] Better, when I heard about COVID I never knew my mother would be in the ER because of it. Thank you for praying for my mom and I. I tried getting insurance where at my job, but they said they don't cover COVID. They did cover for my dentist so there's some good news. Do you bring your daughter to church with you or does she go to a different program?

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear about the dental insurance! Maybe you can start a GoFundMe. I'm sure everyone can empathize with this sort of situation. Yeah, I bring my daughter to sunday service as well as wednesday's she has a youth group where she volunteers and reads scripture with her church peers. She's learning a lot.

[Speaker 1] I would start a GoFundMe however I know that other people are going through worse things than me. I can't go to work because of COVID and I'm now unemployed. I have to stay home now because of COVID, I can't do anything anymore and my ex-wife is trying to get full custody.

[Speaker 2] Oh, well if you explain all that in your GoFundMe, I can't imagine anyone could resist donating. You can't compare your pain to others'. That is not your job. We are lucky to live in this technological age where these services are so easily accessible. If you need help promoting it, I'm sure my father would happily present it at the end of the next sermon. These are the times when God calls on us to unify.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. You might be right. I used to be lucky and wealthy and I would donate to other people when they are in need, and I'm sure people would do the same for me. God bless you. I heard you like the color purple, why?

[Speaker 2] Well, it reminds my or lilacs, which is my favorite flower. What's your favorite color?

[Speaker 1] My favourite color is blue. My old room was blue, and it reminds of my childhood. How was your childhood?

[Speaker 2] I had a very quaint chaildhood, surrounded by family. I had many responsibilities, but I think it prepared me well for adulthood.

My mother is in the ER. My teeth are healing. It is difficult to chew.

I have exwife. I dont have kids. I used to run in marathons.

I need to work. I have medical bills. My mother has COVID. I have a job with dental insurance. I lost my job due to COVID.

I pray. I go to church.

I like blue.

My father is a preacher.

I have a 3 year old daughter.

My favorite color is purple. My favorite flower is Lilacs.

[Speaker 1] I was wondering, what was it like growing up as a preacher's daughter? If you don't mind me asking.

[Speaker 2] Well, it was difficult, as my preacher father was overprotective and didn't let me date or go to any parties. Also, I had to go to Sunday School, which didn't allow me to relax for the weekends and made me much busier with Sunday homework and all.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that sounds like he was pretty strict. I'm sorry, thanks for sharing your experience. How's your daughter?

[Speaker 2] She is good, thank you. She's in prekindergarten now and she's starting to talk a lot, which is super cute by the way. I can't wait for her First Communion. We're going to have a big party afterwards with all of the family who can attend. I'm going to make sure not to be as strict on her as my preacher father was, though.

[Speaker 1] Aw, how sweet! That's so nice, I'm sure she will appreciate that when she gets older.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I hope that she will. I say this now, but I'm sure that as she gets older, I'll revert to some of the same parenting behaviors that my parents did.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, but at least you have all intentions not to be and that's awesome!

[Speaker 2] Thank you. Have you been going to Church every Sunday? I missed last Sunday, which was the first time in years that I haven't gone.

[Speaker 1] Yes I have been! That's okay, are you planning on attending this coming Sunday?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'll definitely be going with my daughter Stephanie. I hope she doesn't cry and make a scene like she's been known to do, however. How is your mother doing? Will she be getting out of the hospital anytime soon?

[Speaker 1] A lot of kids are like that, no one is judging. I bet it can be extremely hard! My mom has been making some progress. She will get to leave next week! I've been praying and praying for her!

[Speaker 2] That's great. I will be praying for her, too. Hopefully, you'll get back to work soon, also.

[Speaker 1] Hi. How are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I am doing good. Just got back from the animal shelter

[Speaker 1] Is that where you work

[Speaker 2] No, I just visit often. I feel like I prefer animals to people

[Speaker 1] I don't blame you.

[Speaker 2] Do you have pets? I've several different breeds

[Speaker 1] I don't like people or animals

[Speaker 2] Really? Not even animals, you should try watching some animal videos on the internet!

[Speaker 1] I like quiet. I do go out and do reviews.

[Speaker 2] You should still try the videos always cheers me up or looking for wildlife outside

[Speaker 1] I like bike sometimes. I like the outdoors.

[Speaker 2] You should definitely look for wildlife when you bike, what else you like?

[Speaker 1] I've seen a bear once.

Pasta is my favorite meal.

I wish I had a higher salary.

I can watch tv for hours.

[Speaker 1] I've been feeling a little old. My only child just graduated college.

[Speaker 2] I work a measly 40 hours a week at an automotive plant.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for fun? I enjoy snowboarding

[Speaker 2] I enjoy relaxing in my living room watching the simpsons

[Speaker 1] I try to run to keep in shape. I hate it. Then I watch homer.

[Speaker 2] My favorite food to eat is macaroni and cheese.

[Speaker 1] What do you like with it? Anything interesting like good meatloaf?

[Speaker 2] Oh, meatloaf is a must! Except it is unaffordable to me.

[Speaker 1] The car place must not be paying you what you are worth. Must be tired.

[Speaker 2] It sure is. Its hard when you only make above property on a family of 4.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like you are depressed. I'm alone. That's why I run. No thinking involved.

[Speaker 2] That's why I watch tv whilst sitting on the couch when I'm off work. Keeps me sane.

[Speaker 1] Gotta watch it. Those commercials show an unreal world. Any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I like to invent things that get put into cars at the factory

[Speaker 1] Do they ever become a reality? You could make big bucks.

[Speaker 2] Nope, I wish they would put a mac and cheese dispenser in one.

I have a child.
I like snowboarding.
I go running.
I live alone.

I work at an automotive plant. I invent things for cars.

I watch The Simpsons.

I like macaroni and cheese.

I cannot afford meatloaf.

I have a family of four.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen any good episodes of The Simpsons lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I've been so busy with work that I haven't watched Simpsons lately. I wish I have more money.

[Speaker 1] Oh??  same here.  I picked up a couple of side gigs.  One is at this place called Amazon Turk.  Have you heard of it?

[Speaker 2] LOL yes I've heard about it. I don't know if it's worth the effort though if the minimum wage will raise to $15. I might earn more getting a part time job in person.

[Speaker 1] I figure it is not my main source of income, but if I find myself laying around the house with nothing to do, I might as well attempt to make a little money.  And, it beats going across town to a job... and if I don't feel like working I can just close my computer.  I can't imagine relying on it as my main source of income.

[Speaker 2] That is true. Same here. If I don't have much going on at work then I would check mturk and see what's going on. It's a nice side gig to earn some amazon gift card money to buy random stuff you want lol

[Speaker 1] Yeah.... I use my money I earn to by cryto currency.  I mean, if it fails, I am really not out anything.

[Speaker 2] oh... You may have made a smart choice than me lol. I didn't link this to my account, and basically transfer money to amazon and buy stuff using this.

[Speaker 1] That's alright... everybody needs stuff.  So, it is more or less like it is free stuff.  Are you able to change your financing choices?

[Speaker 2] BTW bitcoin's been increasing like crazy recently. Did you buy bitcoin or other currencies? My financing hasn't changed remember I can't even afford meatloaf as I mentioned before :(

[Speaker 1] I know... that is why I am suggesting changing from being into material things and instead getting the cash.  And I bought some bitcoin, but I spend a lot on cosmos.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I need to change my strategy. Thanks for the recommendation. I had a couple of cents of US dollar bitcoin a couple of years ago and now it's $500.

I have a child.

I like snowboarding.I go running.

I live alone.

I am running low on money. I have been doing online surveys for extra cash. I recently bought some bitcoin.

I watch The Simpsons.

I like macaroni and cheese.

I have a family of four. I have been very busy with work lately. I am running low on money. I only buy things from amazon. I am so poor I cannot afford meatloaf.

I have made a good profit from bitcoin.

[Speaker 1] How's it going? What are you planning on having for dinner?

[Speaker 2] Probably Mac & Cheese again, only thing I can afford right now. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I don't have much money, but I need carbs and proteins because I do so much sports, does Mac & Cheese have lots of proteins ?

[Speaker 2] I don't know about protein but it does have a lot of carbs!

[Speaker 1] Good enough, that is 50 % of what I need. Do your children like Mac & Cheese as you do ?

[Speaker 2] They absolutely love it! Although I am afraid they are gonna get sick of it soon,

[Speaker 1] Yeah, but until then, you are saving money. Do you plan other type of meals ?

[Speaker 2] We usually have eggs or oatmeal for breakfast and tuna sandwiches for lunch. What are your favorite meals?

[Speaker 1] I also like eggs they are full of proteins, I also like fish but it is pricey, I hope to eat some soon with the profits that I will make by buying bitcoins, do you know when to sell ?

[Speaker 2] I am still learning but my buddy taught me some things which helped me earn a good profit. Where did you learn?

[Speaker 1] I have learn about bitcoins in the news and internet. Do you think it is possible to get rich with bitcoins ?

[Speaker 2] I think it is but you really have to play it smart.

[Speaker 2] Well... funny you should mention it... maybe!!  There is a fellow who I am meeting for breakfast in a few minutes... I am actually walking to the cafe now... so we gotta keep this conversation fast so I don't look like a complete dork when I arrive.  Wait... maybe we will be at your cafe?  Where do you work again?

[Speaker 1] I'm at main street brew. Hope it goes well!

[Speaker 2] Oh dang, we are going to Eggs in Paradise.  I hope it goes well too.... he is the first guy who has decided on a first date to be breakfast.  What do you think that means?

[Speaker 1] I think it means he's a morning person. Never liked morning dates. I'm too sleepy to be engaging.

[Speaker 2] Yeah... I am scared that he is going to be all chipper and I am going to still be trying to figure out why the heck I am up so early.  He is older than me.. eeeek!!

[Speaker 1] How much older? Hopefully not "creepy old man" older?

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh... I think it is creepy old man older..... I mean he is almost 10 years older.... what will we even talk about?

[Speaker 1] oof. I'm sorry, but I need to ask, where did you meet him? I'm worried I'm ruining your date, but at the same time.... who is this guy?

[Speaker 2] He is a coworker of mine.  I have to admit, I asked him if he would like to hang out sometime and he suggested breakfast.... ooooh shoot.... is this his way of being nice and doing our date early so he can get on with the rest of his day and have an excuse to leave??

[Speaker 1] Hold on, do we even know if it's a date? Or are you just "hanging out?"

[Speaker 2] I was just trying to get him to, you know, be my fun time guy.  I am not sure what he is thinking... he might be thinking I am a weirdo.

I am a waitress  at a cafe.

I don't like morning dates.

I daydream about love. I am single.

I have 7 sisters.

I am meeting someone for breakfast.  I am nervous about our date. I am concerned by our age gap. I don't know what to talk about.I am meeting my coworker.

[Speaker 1] How did your breakfast date go?

[Speaker 2] Well, for an old guy he had a lot of.... I do not know.  Life.  Zest. Something.  I liked him.

[Speaker 1] Do you think you'll see him again? And what kind of age difference are we talking about here?

[Speaker 2] Well, there is no way to not see him.  He is a coworker.  Down the hall in color production.  He is about 10 years older.  He was driving a 1980 Dodge Aries K car.

[Speaker 1] What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 2] I am in the accounting department.  I make piles of paper.  I have a fun idea, I will bring him to your bar for a dinner date.  We will see if he can stay awake after 9 pm

[Speaker 1] It doesn't sound like you have much respect for him. Maybe you shouldn't be seeing him.

[Speaker 2] Well, that is one way to look at it.  However, we are both adults.  Some of us are more adult than others.

[Speaker 1] I don't think you should bring him around me then. I would probably have to warn him about you.

[Speaker 2] Right.  Prince Charming, are you still out there?  Cause I got a person for you to meet.

[Speaker 1] I'm not looking to meet anyone, Prince Charming or not.

[Speaker 2] I think I need some cold brew coffee.  What can you recommend?


I like to use a lot of exclamation marks when I type.

Both my moms tell me they love me when I call them.

Playing quake on slackware linux makes me happy.

I've three dogs and two cats.

I am a full time mom.

My family and I go camping every month.

I enjoy horseback riding.

[Speaker 1] Good afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speaker 2] I'm great, I just got the kids down for a nap. How are you?

[Speaker 1] Just on slackware playing quake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speaker 2] I've no idea what you are talking about. Is that like chess?

[Speaker 1] I am a total gamer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Linux is my favorite ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speaker 2] I own a horse named linux. I speak to her in code.

[Speaker 1] You have pets???!!!!!!!! Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two kitties and three doggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speaker 2] I actually live on a working farm. You must really like animals.

[Speaker 1] Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Farming is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speaker 2] It is actually very hard work, but totally worth it.

[Speaker 1] You know when I call my moms, they both tell me how much they love me!

[Speaker 2] You are so lucky! I love hip hop. Do you?

[Speaker 1] No, I like music though.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I wish I could go back to working in the entertainment industry.

I am a gamer.
I have 2 cats and 3 dogs.
I have multiple moms.
I don't like hip hop. I like music.

I have children.

I have a horse.

I live on a farm.

I like hip hop.

[Speaker 1] How is everything on the farm?

[Speaker 2] It's a little slow now due to the weather being frigid. I can't wait for summer when it is harvest time! I have been playing video games a lot while at my farmhouse. Have you bought any new games recently?

[Speaker 1] I did end up buying Control for the PC, been playing it a bit along with some other old games this week in my spare time.

[Speaker 2] I love old games! I still keep my Sega and Nintendo from my childhood. My favorite games include Street Fighter, Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Golden Axe. I love being able to share the games I played with with my children.

[Speaker 1] That's great that you have your old systems still in working conditions. The oldest console I own is still my Sega Genesis. Do you collect old games or do you just have the games you had as a child?

[Speaker 2] Although I keep all my old game cartridges, I don't buy new ones because old game cartridges have likely accumulated dust over the decades when not stored properly. Sometimes I have to blow into my cartridges in order for them to work properly. Do you resell the games after you are done with them or keep them?

[Speaker 1] Some of them, I tend to resell some of the games I have played if they aren't limited editions and if I don't plan on replaying them anymore. I also like to lend out some games to my friends, so they can enjoy it as well.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. Let me know the list of games available to lend and we could share the games we have. Do any of your mothers play video games with you?

[Speaker 1] Not really, they aren't interested in games in general. I tend to watch movies and shows with them, mostly horror and sometimes mystery or drama.

[Speaker 2] Ah, most women, especially housewives, love watching drama! At my former Blockbuster job, many of my loyal customers binge watch drama serials.

[Speaker 1] You worked at Blockbuster huh, that's interesting. It must have been interesting to work in a place with some many movies to watch, were you good at recommendations?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I was. I gave recommendations based on a customer's past watching history.

I have 2 cats and 3 dogs.

I have multiple moms.

I don't like hip hop. I like music.

I have a computer. I play games. I have a Sega Genesis. I keep old games. I like sharing games with my friends.

I have children.

I have a horse. I live on a farm.

I like hip hop.

I used to work in the entertainment industry. I used to work at Blockbuster.

I play videogames. I have a Sega and Nintendo.

[Speaker 1] Have you been playing any fun games with your children lately?

[Speaker 2] Lately we've been staying away from video games and have been playing board games. There is one we like called Apples to Apples. It's really fun.

[Speaker 1] I have heard of that one. I agree it is fun!

[Speaker 2] Have you been playing any good video games lately?

[Speaker 1] I just finished playing a game called It Takes Two. It is a co-op game and very kid friendly. You should play with one of your children, it was so fun!

[Speaker 2] I have heard of it. I will have to look into it more. I'm always on the lookout for things to keep my children entertained.

[Speaker 1] Is it hard to do while living on a farm? I bet there is always a lot going on around there.

[Speaker 2] The farm does keep us busy a lot, especially during growing season. I teach them responsibility by having them do age appropriate chores to assist me.

[Speaker 1] It sounds like a lot of fun. What made you switch from the entertainment industry to running a farm?

[Speaker 2] I got burned out being around the constant hectic lifestyle of the industry. When I decided to have children, I knew I wanted a quieter, simpler life for them.

[Speaker 1] That is really awesome that you got to do that for you and your kids.

[Speaker 2] What about you? Do you plan on having any children yourself?


I enjoy eating to match my work out.

On the census I check the box for being a white person.

I like to skate.

I'm from minnesota.

I eat healthy and do not eat cakes, candy or sweets.

I love being out in the sunshine with my toys.

Eating snacks in the park is one of my favorite things.

I'm a young child.

My dad brought roses.

I rest in a bedroom for someone younger.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you doing today

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

[Speaker 1] I'm doing good. Might go rollerblading later

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. Do you do that often?

[Speaker 1] When I have some down time it helps keep me fit

[Speaker 2] I bet that it does. It takes a lot of coordination.

[Speaker 1] Do you like sports

[Speaker 2] No but I like dolls

[Speaker 1] Like barbie dolls or the porcelain dolls?

[Speaker 2] I like both. I like flowers too.

[Speaker 1] Whats your favorite flower

[Speaker 2] I like daisies. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I think roses are nice

[Speaker 2] Roses are pretty flowers. Do you like picnics?


I educate young children.
I buy a lot of clothes.
I like cold beverages.
I love italian cooking.

I am going to paint my room purple.
I enjoy musical instruments.
I'm a philatelist.
I enjoy music experiences.

[Speaker 1] Hello. What are you up to?

[Speaker 2] I'm playing the cello my mom taught me.

[Speaker 1] I just got done shopping for the first grade class that I teach

[Speaker 2] Nice. Did you get them anything blue? I love blue.

[Speaker 1] No. I got pepperoni pizza for our class party. And some iced tea for myself

[Speaker 2] I could come play for the party. As long as it isn't on a weekend.

[Speaker 1] It will be on a week day. That would be great.

[Speaker 2] I go to concerts on every weekend that I can.

[Speaker 1] I enjoy concerts but I don't go much

[Speaker 2] I could bring my stamp collection too. They might enjoy that.

[Speaker 1] They would love that. What else do you do?

[Speaker 2] That is really about it. Cello, stamps, concerts. It is what I love.

[Speaker 1] I wish I was as interesting as you.

[Speaker 2] I am sure you are! Tell me more!

[Speaker 1] I shop in my free time. Everything else is devoted to my students.

[Speaker 2] I shop for things that are blue.


My shyness made me panick and I didn t show up.

Until recently I ve never been able to sing in front of anyone.

I m a shy person but I love to sing.

Anyways I decided to give it a try and participaed in an audition for a talent show.

My friend likes cartoons like south park.

I like simple jokes.

I like the flintstones.

I prefer the simpler times.

I was so timid I did not go.

I've stage fright.

When I'm alone I belt out the most beautiful songs.

I tried out to be on stage.

I have a buddy who is into adult animation.

I enjoy laughing.

I watch cartoons still.

I enjoy when things are not crazy.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I'm good! Just sitting in the silence and enjoying it. You?

[Speaker 1] I'm feeling pretty down tonight. I wanted something really bad, yet failed terribly.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I'm so sorry. What was it?

[Speaker 1] I went to an audition for something I have dreamed about, but freaked out.

[Speaker 2] Would a joke cheer you up? I like simple ones.

[Speaker 1] Sure, that would be great!

[Speaker 2] Here goes, I will say. Knock knock

[Speaker 1] Oh, I like these.... Who is there?

[Speaker 2] The cave dwelling, car driving, guy named fred from a cartoon.

[Speaker 1] I loved that show as a child! Fred who?

[Speaker 2] I cannot remember but it was back during simpler times.

[Speaker 1] Lol. I hope I can remember this next time I am in front of an audience.

[Speaker 2] It was a sad attempt but I like the simpler ones and prefer old cartoons

[Speaker 1] I love the music in old cartoons. I enjoy singing the songs when I am alone.

[Speaker 2] My friends watch south park and cartoons like it. I do not like them.

I failed my audition. I like knock-knock jokes.

I love The Flintstones.

I like simple jokes.
I like old cartoons.
I do not like South Park.

[Speaker 1] There's going to be another audition soon that I'd like to try.

[Speaker 2] I say go for it! I know you have been trying, I think this will be the one. Is it for a play ?

[Speaker 1] Yes for a local production of mary poppins

[Speaker 2] Nice, I have heard great reviews about that play. If you get it, you will be a star and it will open up a lot of opportunities. So have you watched any flintstones lately ?

[Speaker 1] Thanks! Fingers crossed. Yes, I watch it every weekend with my kids. It's become our weekend family time. What is your favorite old cartoon?

[Speaker 2] I have been watching a lot of Dexter's laboratory and Johnny bravo. Although I have also watched the Simpsons. Even though I am not a big fan of some jokes, it has some great content.

[Speaker 1] Oh I haven't seen much of that. Are they kid friendly?

[Speaker 2] It is not to tell you the truth . There are some scenes that will be a little disturbing and inappropriate for them. For your children I would recommend SpongeBob. Have they seen it before ? There are a lot of knock-knock jokes in there.

[Speaker 1] As much as I love those knock knock jokes ... I am not a fan of sponge bob! I probably dislike it just as much as you you dislike south park!

[Speaker 2] Then that means you despise it lol. South park to me is the worst. So I have been wanting to sing. Do you want to meet up in the future so you can teach me ?

[Speaker 1] Oh I would love to! Have you ever taken any singing lessons?

[Speaker 2] I have not, so I hope that you are patient with me. I promise I will be a good student. In return I will buy you tickets to a concert of your choice. What kind of music are you into.

I love music from old cartoons. I like singing. I can teach people how to sing.

I am an actor. I am going to audition for a local production of mary poppins.

I like the flinstones. I have kids. We watch the flinstones as a family on the weekend. I do not like spongebob.

I like simple jokes.

I like old cartoons. I do not like South Park. I am a fan of spongebob.

I have a desire to become a singer. I have never had singing lessons.

[Speaker 1] What cartoons are you watching tonight? An when did you want to set up those singing lessons?

[Speaker 2] I will be watching the Jetsons tonight. I love the theme song!

[Speaker 1] Okay, this is a serious question that will affect the path of our entire friendship from this point forward. Who's your favorite character on The Jetsons?

[Speaker 2] I really like Judy Jetson. She reminds me of my daughter! All about the boys!

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to say that you and I will no longer be friends. The only acceptable answer is Astro. This is maybe the most disappointed I've ever been with another person in my entire life.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I will have to say that Astro comes in close second!

[Speaker 1] Well, Judy is not in my top 1000 characters on the show. You probably think Pebbles is the star of the Flintstones.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry to hear that! I just stated who I enjoyed on the show. I didn't mean to cause a huge disagreement between us.

[Speaker 1] So you admit that you are a Pebbles fan?!? I knew it. You probably don't even worry about all of the safety violations that Mr. Slate tried to cover up at the mine.

[Speaker 2] I don't hate Pebbles but I wouldn't say that she is my favorite. I think her and Bam Bam are adorable and funny!

[Speaker 1] I always fast forward whenever they are on screen. Also, what's up with that dumb bone in her hair?


I like to give them sassy sounding names that actually help people think nice things.

I've a few pet iguanas.

I think dogs could learn to read if they were trained well.

I'm pretty poor financially.

I'm currently working on a project that involves bitcoins.

I decided to quick my job and travel for a couple of months.

My favorite food is pizza.

I love to dance salsa.

I assign edgy labels that allow others find good qualities.

I own a couple lizards.

I want to be a dog trainer.

I do not make a lot of money.

I'm involved with digital currency.
I left my work to see the world.
I like cheesy foods.
I love spanish movements.

[Speaker 1] Hey, jefferson here, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hey there pretty good, yourself

[Speaker 1] I'm doing well, what do you think about dogs?

[Speaker 2] They are cool, not heavy into animals

[Speaker 1] I personally think dogs could read if we trained them.

[Speaker 2] Haha possibly, I take you like animals?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've a bunch of pet iguanas with sassy names.

[Speaker 2] That is good, I'm working on a bitcoin project, what you do for living

[Speaker 1] Just a bunch of odd jobs, I don't have much money

[Speaker 2] I invested in bitcoin at right time worked out, well you can always make money

[Speaker 1] That is great, I bet you could adopt a lot of animals with that money.

[Speaker 2] Yes I guess I could, I focus more on humans if I donate vs animals

[Speaker 1] Have you donated anything yet?

[Speaker 2] O yeah over 100k to hurricane victims

[Speaker 1] Wow that's very noble that was a terrible tragedy.

[Speaker 2] Yes very very, I also volunteered

I am  Jefferson.

I like animals.  I have pet Iguanas.

I do not have animals.

I am working on a bitcoin project. I invest in Bitcoin.

I donated money to Hurricane victims.

I also volunteer.

[Speaker 1] How is your Bitcoin investing going?  I see that there is a lot of talk about Bitcoin in the news lately.

[Speaker 2] It's going really well, I didn't manage to get into it as early as I would have liked but those are the ways of investing. Are you thinking about investing?

[Speaker 1] I wish.  I am so broke.  All I do is work.  How do people even save money.  BTW... I am on my way to my next job shoveling snow... so we gotta be snappy.

[Speaker 2] Well the boomers will have you think it's all about cutting down on starbucks but the truth is just budgeting, which I know is easier said than done, Have you got a budget plan in place?

[Speaker 1] uhmmmm.... no.  I usually get paid from each job and use that to head to McDonalds or to a cafe and get some food... or pick up a pack of smokes or something.  Its probably all my bad habits thats keeping me poor.

[Speaker 2] Well I think you need to work on that, maybe look for a more consistent and stable work position?

[Speaker 1] YEah... work really isn't my thing though.  It feels so restrictive.  All these people are rich and I'll be rich some day too... I don't think it is all about saving... I think one day your ship just comes in.  you know?

[Speaker 2] I get what you are saying but I don't think that's a good way to look at things, having a plan set in place can definitely help achieve financial stability.

[Speaker 1] I have been trying to listen to this Dave Ramsey guy... do you have any thoughts on him?

[Speaker 2] I'm not all familiar with him, what does he talk about?

[Speaker 1] He tells people like me how to get out of debt and how to take control of my finances... the hardest part I think is going to be setting aside $1,000 and not spending it.... ugh... got to hide it from myself.

[Speaker 2] Well take the money being set aside and put it into maybe a stock or a cryptocurrency or even an account that can't be accessed until you have a certain amount of money in it. That way you don't have immediate access to it and won't be tempted to spend it!

I am  Jefferson.

I like animals.  I have pet Iguanas.

I work odd jobs. I do not have a lot of money. I do not know how to save money.

I eat out a lot. I smoke.

I prefer the flexibility of odd jobs to the rigidity of full-time work.

I do not have animals.

I focus more on humans if I donate vs. animals. I donated money to Hurricane victims.

I also volunteer.

[Speaker 1] How does Bitcoin even work, anyway? I can't wrap my head around digital currency.

[Speaker 2] Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. It basically gives you the freedom to send money across the internet so people you do not necessarily know or trust. It can also not be linked to your identity so its anonymous.

[Speaker 1] I heard you could even purchase homes with bitcoin! That is amazing to me!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, more and more companies are switching to accept bitcoin. You should invest! Even if you can't afford a full share right now you could always buy a partial share.

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about it. Paypal keeps reaching out to me because they have bitcoin now. I may just get like 10 dollars worth and see what happens.

[Speaker 2] Investing will get you on the track to start saving and growing some of your money.

[Speaker 1] I hear you there. Maybe if I quit smoking I will take that money every month and add it to my bitcoin acount.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea!

[Speaker 1] Have you volunteered anywhere recently? I know there have been lots of nasty Tornado's ripping through our country lately.

[Speaker 2] Yes, where I live our main problem is hurricanes. It is not quite hurricane season yet so it has been pretty quiet. I have been donating and volunteering for BLM movements recently.

[Speaker 1] That's good. America needs help in that department for sure. If I didn't word so many odd jobs I would help out. Last job I had was exhausting.

[Speaker 2] What was your last job?


I do not eat meat.
I'm allergic to almost everything.
I'm bored in the suburbs.
I'm a farmer.

I have several boys and a man.

My mom showed me how to love life.

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

I have suffered a loss recently.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Good morning! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

[Speaker 1] I am good as well. But the weather lately is giving me allergies

[Speaker 2] Aw that is too bad. Try clarita! It clears my two sons and husband right up?

[Speaker 1] It does not help that I live right on a pig farm

[Speaker 2] Do you have any other animals?

[Speaker 1] Yes. All sorts of farm animals.

[Speaker 2] Nice! Any puppies? My dog just passed away. It is tearing me up.

[Speaker 1] Aww that's very sad. I am sorry.

[Speaker 2] Maybe it will be ok. My parents taught me to see the cup half full.

[Speaker 1] Do you live in the city?

[Speaker 2] No. My house has a great yard that my dog loved to play in.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, I wish I can go live in the city

[Speaker 2] I would not like that. My dog would want lots of space!


I have a great job.
I sew my own shirts.
I don't eat meat.
I have 7 pets.

I am a part of the nfl team in philly.

I am captain of the team.

I've been with this group for over 12 months.

I am a football star.

I can not believe it has been a year since I began.

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

[Speaker 2] Fine what do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I design clothes, and I make a decent amount for living, you?

[Speaker 2] You are talking to the second year quarterback for the philadelphia eagles

[Speaker 1] I feel like I should be amazed but I am not.

[Speaker 2] Well. I am awful special and this year we are going to the playoffs

[Speaker 1] How long have you been playing? I've no interest in sports.

[Speaker 2] Second year how long in the dress design business

[Speaker 1] How did you get into it? And for awhile now, I love the profit.

[Speaker 2] I was just naturally gifted and just really special

[Speaker 1] Do you get pay for playing the games?

[Speaker 2] Huge pay. I'm the most important person on the team

[Speaker 1] Do you make enough to support your family?

[Speaker 2] Yes each family member owns a seperate house.


I think most scary monsters are serious.

I am a gamer.

I'm better at listening than discussing.

I love eating chips and cheese.

I enjoy spicy cuisine.
I enjoy swimming.
I'm a vet tech.
I like to stay in touch with the world.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today

[Speaker 2] I'm great, how are you? Just finishing my mexican food.

[Speaker 1] Nachos are my favorite!!

[Speaker 2] Always a good choice. So what do you do?

[Speaker 1] I do play d and d on my spare time when I am not working.

[Speaker 2] Not sure what that's. I pretty much stalk others on social media.

[Speaker 1] I've this belief that dragons are real!

[Speaker 2] I work at a vet, but we don't have any dragons.

[Speaker 1] Makes sense, I don't like to talk to people too much, so I avoid social media.

[Speaker 2] That's sad. I have 2 kids, so I have to talk to others.

[Speaker 1] Then you do not have much of a choice! Ll

[Speaker 2] Exactly. Hopefully you will have kids one day so you can chat.

[Speaker 1] Maybe! Who knows what the future holds!

[Speaker 2] What else are you into?

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am currently driving trucks in the south.

[Speaker 2] I have been at google a long time

[Speaker 1] I can not work at google because I own three kids.

[Speaker 2] You own 3 kids. I've days off

[Speaker 1] I wish I had days off because hot wings are the love of my life.

[Speaker 2] I'm a resident of settle

[Speaker 1] Where is settle? My life started in a trailer park.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry. I meant seattle

[Speaker 1] Where is a seattle? Singing in this lame church choir right now.

[Speaker 2] Choir is not lame. And seattle is up north.

[Speaker 1] Very lame. My three kids are lame.

[Speaker 2] I think you have a not so good attitude

[Speaker 1] Your attitude is that of a chicken wing.

[Speaker 2] Good because I like chicken wings

[Speaker 1] Let us eat chicken wings and pray.

[Speaker 2] You go do that. I hope you have a great day

I have three children.
I like hot wings.
I used to live in a trailer.
I sing choir at church.

I work at google.
I live in Seattle.

[Speaker 1] how is your work at google?

[Speaker 2] I work in the finacial area of Google. Its been busy lately but good. Google is such a household name and it seems like a giant but it is quite folksy where I am at. Have you ever traveled to Seattle?

[Speaker 1] I have.  I took the train out there a few times just to get away.  My favorite things was this dinner and show we did out on an island where there was a native dance and drums and music.  How long have you lived out there anyway?

[Speaker 2] I grew up here. I moved away for a few years but returned. I really like this area. Its great to get away, did you ever bring your kids to this area? The space needle is awsome and the kids might enjoy that.

[Speaker 1] NO, I never did bring my kids.  We haven't really left Wisconsin so much... it is not so easy to travel these days.  Maybe when they start moving on their own, or helping with rent.  I feel like we are worlds apart both physically and where we are as individuals in our lives.  I mean, who would have thought we would have kept in contact all these years from just meeting by playing online games on Pogo

[Speaker 2] It is really cool, isn't it? Are the Wisconsin winters brutally cold?

[Speaker 1] They are terrible... It feels like as soon as it gets nice out, BANG!!!  it is winter again.  What about seattle???  does it even snow?

[Speaker 2] Yes, we get snow but we have a lot more moisture as rain. The Mountains around here have a lot of snow and there are many snow related activities but I never got into the whole skiing and snowboarding things. I don't like to fall down lol. When you were out here, Did you ever go to see Mt Rainer?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, we took a bus trip up the mountain.  I remember seeing two rivers.  One made from snow melt and the other from glacier melt.  I remember the snow melt was dirtier than the glacier... I think.  I was just nervous the thing would wake up and erupt... I am such a country mouse huh??

[Speaker 2] Country mouse....such a fun description. Challenging our boundaries is healthy,, as long as we don't have a heart attack or a panic attack while doing that.Hahaha. I will have to look up the bus tour some time and maybe see that myself.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I mean... I was like 12, so I am sure they have many more options now... shoot.. that was 30 years ago.  I bet the whole city is different now.

[Speaker 2] How does time fly so fast? Its always slow when we are in the moment and then we look back ..wow! Hey,,, are you going to get on Pogo later?\

I have three children.

I like hot wings.

I used to live in a trailer.

I sing choir at church.

I've visited Seattle. I live in Wisconsin. I don't like the Wisconsin winters. I like living in the country.

I am 42 years old.

I work in the financial area of Google. I am in Seattle. I grew up in Seattle.

I don't like snow sports. I want to go to the mountain.

[Speaker 1] I talked to my children and they would like to come to Seattle!

[Speaker 2] It's a lovely time of year in Seattle as things are starting to warm up. Will you be joining them on the trip?

[Speaker 1] I find I like to travel a lot less the older I get. Once you hit 40, you just kind of want to stay close to home.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting. I find traveling helps me feel young again, because I get to experience so many new things. You should think about accompanying your kids on their trip to Seattle! I know a great place we can all go for hot wings.

[Speaker 1] I would like to see the Pacific Northwest someday. I hear it's beautiful.

[Speaker 2] It really is, especially in the spring time when everything is turning green and blooming. How long has it been since you were last in Seattle?

[Speaker 1] It's been a couple of decades, and I was only there for a single night.

[Speaker 2] Well then it's definitely worth a trip back! We can all go to the Space Needle - a must-see while you're here!

[Speaker 1] It will all depend on the time of year. I'm fairly busy in the spring.

[Speaker 2] Summer is nice too. It doesn't get too hot, and it's not as rainy as the spring. Summer is my favorite season in Seattle.

[Speaker 1] Perhaps I can get some time off from work in the summer. We get a week off during Independence Day week.

[Speaker 2] That would be perfect! I don't often get weeks off at a time, but I can definitely take some time off around a national holiday, especially in the slower summer months.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing

[Speaker 2] Hi how are you I'm fine

[Speaker 1] I am good are you into fitness

[Speaker 2] Not really I grew up upstate and never really did much.

[Speaker 1] I like to go for a run when I wake up it really energizes me

[Speaker 2] Running is hard, I like sitting that is why I work at my local bank.

[Speaker 1] I work at a candy company I need to excercise after eating candy

[Speaker 2] My father died, too much excercise, he used to work at the the same bank I do.

[Speaker 1] That's so sad are you married

[Speaker 2] She died too we grew up together upstate, she died from too much excercise aswell

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I guess you would be afraid of excercise

[Speaker 2] Yeah ever since my mom died from exercising. Then my dog got ran over my a bicyclist

I like to go running.
I work at a candy company.

I am not into fitness.

I work at a bank.My father also worked at a bank.

My father died.

My wife died. My mom died. My dog died.

[Speaker 1] How is your job at the bank going?

[Speaker 2] It's okay most days, but yesterday I had the rudest customer.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that. What happened?

[Speaker 2] They came in with a check to deposit, but it wasn't their name. So I explained that I couldn't do that. They kept claiming it was just mispelled. It was three letters off! For all I know, he stole a check from neighbor or something. But he refused to accept it and kept yelling at me.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's rough. I can't believe someone would do that. I've never had to deal with any bad customers, but one time my boss yelled at me for putting the wrong bags of candy in the wrong spot. I was new at the time, so what did he except. I can't be perfect as soon as I start!

[Speaker 2] Bosses like that are the worst. Your job is to support and train people. Not treat them like children.

[Speaker 1] I know right! Speaking of training, I've been going hard on training for a marathon. It's taken me a lot of time to get to a point where I am able to run a full marathon.

[Speaker 2] oh wow! That's exciting. When is the race?

[Speaker 1] It's next month I'll have to travel to Tennessee for the race. I think I might do the best for my age group.

[Speaker 2] That's a pretty ambitious goal! How many people are in that group?

[Speaker 1] Very slow haha. Let's just say this race will be like stealing candy from a baby.

[Speaker 2] Is there any prize money for the winners?

I like to go running.

I work at a candy company.

I am training to run a marathon. I can run a full marathon. I am traveling to Tennessee for a race.

I am not into fitness.

I work at a bank. My father also worked at a bank.

My father died. My wife died. My mom died. My dog died.

[Speaker 1] I had a long day at my candy job and on top of that I had to train for my marathon so I'm exhausted today.

[Speaker 2] I can only imagine. I get tired from just working. I can imagine training for marathon on top of my job. How long have you been training?

[Speaker 1] I've been train for 2 months. I love it because it gets me outside. I meet a lot of people with the same interests as well.

[Speaker 2] Hmm that's interesting. I do tend to get into a depression, just going from work to home from home to work. I feel like I lack community. Hearing that exercise is an outlet to community is persuading me to possibly look into it. I don't know if I can do a marathon, but I may could start small. I've never really been into fitness though. Where would you advise I start?

[Speaker 1] If you have a safe neighborhood you could just start with a 20 minute walk. Maybe go on the site meet up and see if anyone in your neighborhood wants a walking partner. I will walk with you if it's not too far.

[Speaker 2] Wow. I would love to have you as my "teacher". I just wouldn't want to hold you back, since you are more into running. To be honest, I think it would be best to have you as partner, rather than a random stranger. I would feel more comfortable with someone I know.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. You would not be holding me back! I always have time for a walk! That's not work to me. That is more relaxation and rest.

[Speaker 2] That's so kind of you! I tend to work from 9-5, so I should be free to walk around 6. How often do you suggest I walk a week?

[Speaker 1] To start out I would do three times week of brisk walking for about 20 minutes. next month do it for 40 minutes and add a day or two if you want. Eventually you will be walking every day for how ever long you can push yourself. Maybe start jogging once you get the hang of it.

[Speaker 2] Hmm that sounds like a very health progression that won't stress my body out too much. There is so much information out there that I'm not sure I can trust, so I am glad that I have you to lean on for this information. I can't believe I'm excited to start exercising. My past self would be shocked. Maybe it will make those long days at work more bearable. How long have you been living healthily like this?

[Speaker 1] About 20 years. Once you get past the muscle pains at the beginning and you start to notice how much more energy you have, I think you will live this way for the rest of your life.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it will take some time to make it an actual habit. I can't wait to get to place where it does't feel like "work". Hopefully, I can stay motivated. With your friendship and help, I think that will not be as much of a problem as it has been in the past.

[Speaker 1] I am so tired of my brother

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear that, what happened?

[Speaker 1] He pretends he is a viking and it drives me nuts

[Speaker 2] That sounds annoying. I don't have men in my family so it is hard to imagine.

[Speaker 1] I moved to oregon to get away

[Speaker 2] My mother immigrated here from saudi arabia to get away from men, I understand.

[Speaker 1] That is cool. What color are your nails?

[Speaker 2] Clear right now. My daughter is coming over later to paint them.

[Speaker 1] Paint them green like mine

[Speaker 2] Maybe I'll, I like green.

[Speaker 1] We could match. I do not match with many people in the attic.

[Speaker 2] Do you live in an attic?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do, it is beautiful.

[Speaker 2] How interesting, I am glad you like it.

I have a brother.
I live in Oregon.

I don't have men in my family.

My mother is an immigrant from Saudi Arabia,.

I have a daughter.

[Speaker 1] I moved out of my attic.

[Speaker 2] Thats great, where are you living now?

[Speaker 1] I finally got a small apartment. How are your mother and daughter doing?

[Speaker 2] Good for you. Are you getting new furniture? They are good, thank you for asking. My daughter just got a new skateboard.

[Speaker 1] I am getting some new furniture but just the basics. My brother is donating some of his old stuff too. Skateboarding seems like a lot of fun. Your daughter will really enjoy it. Is she taking any lessons or just teaching herself?

[Speaker 2] She is just picking it up herself. She is a total tomboy, always coming home with scraped knees and muddy clothes haha

[Speaker 1] Oh my brother was like that growing up. He was always coming home dirty and scraped up. He even had several minor injuries that landed him in the ER. Has your daughter ever gotten hurt?

[Speaker 2] The ER? Oh wow as a mom that gives me a heartache. No thank god she hasn't. She jammed her finger playing basketball but nothing that would put her in the ER.

[Speaker 1] Girls being tomboys isn't common in Saudi Arabia is it? How does your mom deal with your daughter being that way?

[Speaker 2] Well she grew up in Canada so I think she's more Canadian in her values. She loves Peggy with all her heart. Peggy's the first grandchild after all.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's nice. I wasn't aware that she actually grew up in Canada. Does she still have any family back there?

[Speaker 2] No, we don't have roots there any more. I have never even been there! How about you? Were your born and raised in the US?

I have a brother.

I live in Oregon. I just moved out of my attic. I live in a small apartment.  am getting new furniture soon.

I don't have men in my family.

My mother is an immigrant from Saudi Arabia, and she grew up in Canada.

My daughter Peggy got a new skateboard. I am a mother. I was the first person in my family to have a child.

I do not know anyone who lives in Canada. I have never been to Canada.

[Speaker 1] Have you considered signing up your daughter for other outdoor activities?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, what kind of activities should I sign her up for?

[Speaker 1] Well, since you just got her a skateboard, maybe you can sign her up for skateboard lessons at a local skatepark. Or, maybe you could sign her up for a softball team.

[Speaker 2] Skateboard lessons sounds like a great idea! How is your furniture shopping going?

[Speaker 1] I'm still looking around and trying to get the best deals on basic furnishings for my apartment. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I usually just buy all of my furniture online at wayfair. They usually have pretty good deals.

[Speaker 1] Hmmmm. I'll have to see if there is a Wayfair store near me. I've mostly been looking at Ikea and Bed Bath & Beyond. Thanks for the tip! This is my first apartment ever and I hope to find some cool furniture at good prices. Has your daughter tried riding her skateboard yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes, she has. She is really enjoying it. Do you know how to skateboard?

[Speaker 1] That's great. Kids are really fearless when it comes to extreme sports and danger. No, I can't ride a skateboard to save my life. How about you?

[Speaker 2] No I also cannot.

[Speaker 1] Do you do any sports or outdoor activities? I really like taking walks and skiing during the winter.

[Speaker 2] I like to go camping and go on hikes.
