[Speaker 1] A show about traveling I love to travel

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. Being inquisitive, I love traveling and learning new things

[Speaker 1] California is the next place I want to go have only been on the east coast

[Speaker 2] I'd love to go there. Being the youngest sibling, I did not always get to go places

[Speaker 1] My dad use to work for the taxi service so traveling was hard for us

[Speaker 2] If I were on vacation, I would love to stay up late and not get up early

[Speaker 1] Sometimes that's fun I have only gone to canada a couple times

[Speaker 2] I have been there too. They have good friend chicken and chocolate cake. My favorite things

[Speaker 1] It is beautiful there I use to visit my uncle in florida too

[Speaker 2] You sound like you have a lot of fun

[Speaker 1] Are you playing video games right now?

[Speaker 2] I am! I am currently playing Monster Hunter Rise on the Nintendo Switch. What games are you playing these days?

[Speaker 1] I am not a gamer, but I'd love to hear more about this Monster Hunter Rise game.

[Speaker 2] Sure. I really recommend it as a good entry point to the series. It simplifies many of the systems that made older Monster Hunter games difficult to get into. The premise of the game is that you are a hunter going out to slay or capture large monsters that threaten your village, after which you can make new weapons and armor. This is a really rewarding gameplay loop, and the new game makes it easy to get started! Do you own any videogame systems?

[Speaker 1] I don't but I have thought about getting a Switch, they seem simpler to use than the higher end game systems.

[Speaker 2] That is very true - i recommend starting out with a Switch. In the meantime you can borrow mine! Monster Hunter Rise is already installed, and you can start a new game right away. I'll help you out as you get started but soon i bet you'll be enjoying it on your own.  Nintendo Switches are scarce these days; how do you plan to purchase one?

[Speaker 1] That's so generous of you. I didn't realize they were rare, I was just going to go to the store and pick it up.

[Speaker 2] You might be able to find one locally - i recommend calling local stores to see what inventory they might have.  I purchased mine at Best Buy. They get restocks very frequently.

[Speaker 1] Okay, thanks for the advice. I am super excited. Any other games you reccomend?


I dropped out of college a month ago.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I live in my foreign car outside los angeles.

Some call me a hopeless romantic.

I think I have talent for it.
I auditionated in a cooking show.
I took classes while growing up.
Since young I ve loved to cook.

I recently left the university.
My emotions are always easy to discern.
I love living in california.
I believe in love at first sight.

I am very good at certain things.

I like to work in the kitchen.

I studied at school during my childhood.

I always liked making food.

[Speaker 1] Hey, how are you doing tonight?

[Speaker 2] Hi there, I'm doing super thank you for asking. I'm cooking up a feast tonight!

[Speaker 1] What are you making? I'm feeling hungry!

[Speaker 2] I'm creating a masterpiece of winter vegetables

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I've not eaten a good meal since I quit school.

[Speaker 2] Aw! You poor thing! What about on thanksgiving last week?

[Speaker 1] No, I have been out, living in my toyota for a month.

[Speaker 2] When I get my own cooking show one day I will employ and then feed you!

[Speaker 1] That is nice of you, but I will figure things out..

[Speaker 2] I am a highly skilled cook you know. I even attended lessons!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! My only skill is being in touch with my emotions, lol.

[Speaker 2] Ok, well emotional intelligence is way better than a high iq or bank balance

[Speaker 1] I would like all of the above. ; but my heart rules my life.

[Speaker 2] They say the way to a persons heart is through their stomach. Lol

[Speaker 1] Lol, well, I gotta go. Come make a restaurant here in la someday!

[Speaker 2] Oh right you are in the states. I'm in canada, eh! Thanks and cheers!

I have quit school.

I live in LA.

I would like to get my own cooking show. I am a highly skilled cook. I have attended lessons.

I am from Canada.

[Speaker 1] I have found a small camper van to live in. It is way better than my toyota

[Speaker 2] Wow, does it have a mini stove inside?

[Speaker 1] It actually does. That's one of the main things I love about it.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I might consider getting a small camper too. It's definitely nice to be able to cook my own food when I'm traveling!

[Speaker 1] For sure. Living in LA in a camper is unusual though. I'm not sure if I'll move or not. What's in your plans for the recent future?

[Speaker 2] Well, it might be a good time for you to move since you have a portable house! Where would you like to move? I'm planning on moving to L.A. I think there are more opportunities for me to showcase my cooking skills and network with people to get my own show.

[Speaker 1] Maybe somewhere in California. Wow, you're really serious about the show huh? Best of luck, any leads?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm really excited to showcase my cooking skills! I just applied to participate in one of those cooking competition shows! Hopefully I hear back from them soon. It is also located in L.A! Would you happen to know any good food spots in LA?

[Speaker 1] There's a good spot called Junior's that serves kebabs. Ever heard of it?

[Speaker 2] I haven't. But thank you for the recommendation! Kebabs sounds delicious. I think I might go make Kebabs for dinner tomorrow. What do you plan on making for dinner in your camper?

[Speaker 1] Maybe kebabs now that you mention it haha! Do you have any recipes for that?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! I love making lamb kebabs. All you need to do is skewer it with some vegetables like onions and bell peppers. Then I season it with cumin and salt, and I grill it on the BBQ grill.

I have quit school. I live in my toyota and have been for a month. I have no skills other than being in touch with my emotions.

I live in LA. I wan to live in a camper. I like the mini stove inside the camper. I am thinking about moving somewhere else in California.

I like Junior's kebabs.

I am from Canada.

I am thinking about getting a camper. I want to move to LA.

I applied for a cooking competition. I like to show off my cooking skills. I like making lamb kebabs.

[Speaker 1] So how did the auditions for the cooking competition go?

[Speaker 2] I made it through to the first round! The Semi-finals takes place in LA so if all goes well I might be able to move there. Want to help me test kebab recipes?

[Speaker 1] Congratulations on you making it to the semi-finals. What kind of kebabs are you thinking about making?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of trying to make an Adana kebab. How's the camper van life going, I hope you don't move away before I come visit LA, how else are you going to be able to try my kebabs

[Speaker 1] Ha. I looks like I am not moving any time soon. So I will be here to taste your kebabs. What is your favorite kebab to eat?

[Speaker 2] Any kebab that I don't make, I have been testing recipes and am getting sick of them. How many beds do you have in your camper van? I might need to crash somewhere whilst looking at a place to live

[Speaker 1] I don't have a camper van yet. But I plan on getting one as soon as possible. If you are getting sick of kebabs, why not change things up and experiment with he recipes.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, the cooking competition has had me creating a lot of other things, I was thinking of making a beef wellington if I make it to the finals. I have gotten offers to start a restaurant by an investor, would you be interested in working there?

[Speaker 1] I would like to, though I never worked in a restaurant before. Is that OK with you?

[Speaker 2] Yeah you can start off as a waiter, it will pay above minimum and training will be included

[Speaker 1] Thanks, that would help me out a lot. What kind of restaurant would it be?

[Speaker 2] It is a Mexican restaurant, a bit out of my comfort zone but will be a good experience. I think you would be good as a waiter as people recognise when someone is in touch with their emotions

[Speaker 2] Hello. I'm from america.

[Speaker 1] Do americans love tea? Coz we drink lots of it here.

[Speaker 2] Eh, I am more of a coffee or hot chocolate person. Starbucks is the best.

[Speaker 1] Ah! Interesting. What do you like to do during your free time?

[Speaker 2] I work too much, barely have any time to enjoy anything. Always on the go.

[Speaker 1] I like to write short stories. Hope I can publish them one day.

[Speaker 2] Exciting, nothing better than curling up with a good book!

[Speaker 1] You said you work a lot, right? Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] I am in the public affairs sector of the government. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I work in a certain used bookstore here in england.

[Speaker 2] You are just finishing off winter there, right? Ca not wait for it to get cold here.

[Speaker 1] I really enjoy fall though. Makes me feel deep.

[Speaker 2] I need to go soon. My car is in the shop, should have never bought a passa.

I live in England.

I like drinking tea.

I am a writer. I work in a used book store.

I like fall.

I live in America.

I like coffee, hot chocolate. Starbucks is my favorite.

I work for the government in the public sector. I work a lot.

My car is in repair.

[Speaker 1] Is your car fixed yet?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately, not yet the shop doesn't have the part so had to order it. I wish I knew more about cars so I could have an idea of what the mechanic was going on about. How is your writing going?

[Speaker 1] It's going okay so far, I try to get in some writing every day between shifts at the book store.

[Speaker 2] What are you writing about?

[Speaker 1] It's a fantasy book, about a young prince who becomes king and has to find a magic sword. Maybe you'll read the draft over coffee?

[Speaker 2] I would love read the draft! Are you hoping to get it published?

[Speaker 1] Definitely hoping for that. If I get it published I'll mention you in the thanks section.

[Speaker 2] I'll be sure to bring the book to Starbucks every time I go. Maybe even leave a copy on a table. How is working in a bookstore?

[Speaker 1] It's okay, just difficult sometimes because it's so demanding to work retail. How's your work?

[Speaker 2] Filled with bureaucratic nonsense and paperwork. So much paperwork that isn't even necessary. I feel so bogged down by it. It's frustrating. Paperwork for every little thing and no one really looks at the paperwork.

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry to hear. Perhaps the fantasy book will be a fun escape from that grim nonsense?

[Speaker 2] I definitely think it would be a great escape. And I'll be mentioned in the book!

I live in England. I like drinking tea.

I am a writer. I write fantasy. I hope to get a publisher. I work in a used book store.

I like fall.

I live in America.

I work for the government in the public sector. My job involves a lot of paperwork. I work a lot.

My car is in repair. I do not know much about cars.

[Speaker 1] I wrote another chapter after my shift at the bookstore.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I bet it feels so good to have another chapter written. I can't imagine how excite you are!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am very excited! I've been in a bit of a rut, and getting another chapter done really helped me feel encouraged to write more. How has your job been going?

[Speaker 2] It's good. A lot of pushing paper but every once in a while I feel like I make a difference. Like I really helped one person. That's when it is the best! When are you going to finish another chapter?

[Speaker 1] Feeling like you helped other people is wonderful. I love volunteering for that exact reason. As far as my next chapter, I hope I'll have it done in the coming week, though I may need to work overtime so I may not have as much time to write as I'd like.

[Speaker 2] That's understandable. It is tough to write and work in a bookstore. Do ever feel overwhelmed by doing both at once?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I love being around literature so the bookstore is pretty great. I just get busy so I struggle to balance work and life.

[Speaker 2] I think a lot of peole find that balance difficult. I am sure you are doing all you can do to make sure you can do both well. I am sure you will find more time to write.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, I am trying. How is your work-life balance? Are you doing well?

[Speaker 2] I am doing well. I am lucky to have a 9-5 job where I can leave it behind when I leave. I do work at times at home but I don't feel pressured to do so.

[Speaker 1] That's great! What do you do with your evenings?

I want people to notice me.

I grew up as an orphan.

I'm a loner.
I love italian food.
I love to jog when the moon is out.
I like to listen to music.

My dear ones are my biggest strength and weakness.

I put my all in something I've to have.

I like for folks to stare at me.

I don't know my parents.

[Speaker 1] Good day! How are you? What are you into? I really enjoy being alone.

[Speaker 2] I am preparing for a box to send to my friends in puerto rico.

[Speaker 1] What kinds of things are you putting in it? You should include pizza, it is my favorite

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately I cannot send that via mail. Are you going to have pizza today?

[Speaker 1] Yes! Do you have a favorite band? Mine is probably dream theater, heard of them?

[Speaker 2] No. I eat pizza at local restaurants.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for fun? When it is dark out, I take walks late at night.

[Speaker 2] I work a lot. Even at night I work. I work at odd jobs to save money.

[Speaker 1] I also do odd jobs. What kind of jobs do you do?

[Speaker 2] Standing on the street as sculpture. I like to be noticed.

[Speaker 1] Intriguing! You must be attractive!

[Speaker 2] I was an orphan and I didn't have the attention I wanted.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that

[Speaker 2] No worries. I learned to be independent. But I really enjoy being looked at.

[Speaker 1] That is good, I am happy for you

[Speaker 2] I am happy too. Maybe we will meet at the corner.

I enjoy being alone.

Pizza is my favorite food.

Dream Theater is my favorite band.

I take walks late at night. I do odd jobs.

I have friends in Puerto Rico.

I work a lot. I stand on the street as a sculpture. I like being noticed.

I am an orphan.

[Speaker 1] Have you spent any time as a sculpture lately?

[Speaker 2] A little, have you been working too/

[Speaker 1] Yes I have. Need the money to get by you know. How are your friends down in PuertoRico?

[Speaker 2] I think pretty good.  I haven't been able to get in touch with them in a long time because I've been so busy with work.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see.I cant wait  to go to the theater and just relax without intereptions.You have any plans?

[Speaker 2] Just will probably relax at home once I'm done with work.  What are you going to see at the theater?

[Speaker 1] Im okay with whatever  will be available nothing in particular really.

[Speaker 2] Gotchu.  I had some really good pizza the other day and I thought of you.  We should take a walk together one of these nights.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, pizza person right here! The walk sounds like an idea.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I will have to see what my work schedule looks like.  Did I tell you that I found out some info about my birth parents?!

[Speaker 1] Woah, thats pretty exciting though you forgot to mention it.Is it what you expected?

[Speaker 2] I don't really know what I expected, to be honest.  I am trying to get in touch with them to potentially meet in person.

I enjoy being alone.

Pizza is my favorite food.

Dream Theater is my favorite band.

I have friends in Puerto Rico.

I am an orphan.  I am adopted. I found some information about my birth parents and I'm trying to get in touch with them.

I have been busy with work. My work schedule is still undecided.

[Speaker 1] Were you able to get in touch with your birth parents?

[Speaker 2] I sent them a letter explaining who I was but I haven't heard back yet, though the letter probably only just arrived there.

[Speaker 1] That must be so nerve-wracking. How are you handling the suspense?

[Speaker 2] I'm nervous for sure.  I'd love to meet them and get to know them, but I'm worried that I'm building this up too much in my mind and expecting too much of them.  I also don't want to overwhelm them and put them in a situation they don't want to be in.  That's why I sent a letter instead of calling them.

[Speaker 1] I think you made the right choice. It must be so hard, I get that longing to know more about them. I really hope you get the answers you seek.

[Speaker 2] Thank you.  I appreciate that.  And yes, I think that even if we don't end up having a relationship, I might get some peace just from knowing who they are and what their circumstances were that led them to give me up.

[Speaker 1] Well if they are decent people they will at least give you that. I like that you are not putting too much pressure on the situation. Please let me know how it all turns out.

[Speaker 2] I will definitely keep you posted.  What was your family like as a child?  And did it influence your enjoyment of being alone?

[Speaker 1] Yes , I have a big family that was always around. I craved solitude, and I have carried that into my adult life. My fanily is wonderful and loving, but I am just more of a loner.

[Speaker 2] I can understand that.  Everyone needs some time away from others to relax, reflect, unwind, ruminate.  Some need it more frequently than others.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am an introvert, so I get enegry from being alone. Being with others too much drains me. What about you, introvert or extrovert?

[Speaker 2] I think I'm an extravert.  I like being the center of attention, but I still relate to the need to get away from others once in a while.  After a day of standing on the street and pretending to be a statue, I definitely need some private time.


I have quirky hidden talents.

A twin is a rare occurrence.

[Speaker 1] I do not think so do you like superheroes

[Speaker 2] I do I buy some from my house

[Speaker 1] I can even do popular songs n my armpits

[Speaker 2] Can you place a pizza order this way?

[Speaker 1] Only if I put my heart into it

[Speaker 2] Back in the day my mom was a very active nurse

[Speaker 1] Was she now that's interesting

[Speaker 2] Yeah but she was really weird, probably why I like to be. Alone a lot

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that I hope it get better for you

[Speaker 2] Nah, its better to be a lonely waitress than be around people

[Speaker 1] I like halo 3 and I usually play on platform 4

[Speaker 2] I've been playing dishonored 2. Great series.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, man. I'm still in the closet and I'm so conflicted...

[Speaker 2] Me too. My parents do not know.

[Speaker 1] What should we do? Seriously.

[Speaker 2] No idea. I wish I had a good plan.

[Speaker 1] I play the guitar so I'm thinking about like creating a coming out song.

[Speaker 2] Hey, me too! Are you also a welder?

[Speaker 1] Org, I am lol. Are you my soulmate?

[Speaker 2] I think so. Who would have imagined it. Its destiny.

My favorite color is purple.

My favorite food is jello.
I can t whistle.
I have 4 pets.
I live in an apartment.

I teach in elementary school.
I like lilac and pink.
I've a little son.
I am a spiritual person.

I like to eat jell o.
I'm not able to make bird calls.
I have many animals.
I reside in a complex.

[Speaker 1] Hey hows it going tonight?

[Speaker 2] I'm alright. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Tired! I need to go to bed! I teach first grade so I'm up early!

[Speaker 2] Wow, but it must be fun to teach children

[Speaker 1] Well, I also have a 3 yr old so I'm always around kids

[Speaker 2] That's nice. I have an apartment. Do you live in a house?

[Speaker 1] I sure do! I just painted! Purple!! My fav! So tell me about you.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. I live in maine and have 4 animals. You?

[Speaker 1] Oh I love maine! I'm pretty boring. Teach during the week and church on the weekends.

[Speaker 2] That does not sound too bad. Can you whistle?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, no. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Nope, I cant figure it out

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it sounds like it would be easy but its really not!

[Speaker 2] It is lame because I've a dog, it would help if I could

[Speaker 1] What type of dog? I have a doodle.

[Speaker 2] A big newfoundland. He is silly

I am tired. I teach first grade. I get up early.

I have a 3 year old.

I live in a house. I painted my house purple.

I go to church at the weekends. I love Maine.

I cannot whistle.

I have a doodle.

I live in an apartment in Maine. I have 4 animals. I have a dog. My dog is a newfoundland.

I cannot whistle.

[Speaker 1] Do you walk your dog often?

[Speaker 2] I don't walk him as much as I should but when i do he really loves it!  The summers in Maine are beautiful so that makes it easier to get out.  What is your three year olds name?  Are you tired from chasing them around all day?

[Speaker 1] His name is Charlie and he is definitely a handful. We have a doodle and try to walk the dog and our kid as much as we can, to burn off some of their energy!

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful.  Having a dog and a baby really must keep you on your toes.  When did you guys move into your house that you're in now?

[Speaker 1] We moved in around the time Charlie was born. It's a lot of work to maintain it, but living in Maine makes it all worthwhile! What do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I really enjoy fishing here.  Being outside and enjoying the ocean is definitely one of my favorite things to do here.  Also I have been doing a lot of hiking on my weekends when I can.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] Well, when I'm not wrangling the kid and dog, I am a teacher. On the weekends, I go to church but also love to get outside as much as possible. Hiking here is so great!

[Speaker 2] It really is!  I didn't know you were a teacher what grade do you teach?

[Speaker 1] I teach first grade! It's such a great age! They can sit still (sort of!) and they love to learn!

[Speaker 2] Very cool, you really are busy aren't you?  That must really take a lot of patience to work with kids that age.

[Speaker 1] Sure does! Sometimes I wish I could whistle to get everyone's attention, but oddly whistling is a skill I've never mastered.

[Speaker 2] No way! I cant whistle either!  I have gotten teased my entire life because I cant whistle!  I just blow spit out when I try!  Every time I try to whistle for my dogs it just ends up sounding like a whoopie cushion!

I moved in my house when Charlie was born. My house is a lot of work to maintain. I painted my house purple.

I cannot whistle.

I have a doodle. My 3 year old's name is Charlie. I walk as much as I can with the dog and Charlie.

I enjoy being outside as much as possible.

I live in an apartment in Maine. I have 4 animals.  My dog is a newfoundland. I don't walk my dog as much as I should.

I cannot whistle.

I enjoy fishing. I like the ocean and being outside. I have been hiking on weekends.

[Speaker 1] I signed up for a church bake sale this week and Charlie has been helping me with all the cupcakes and cookies.

[Speaker 2] I bet that has been very fun and extremely messy

[Speaker 1] Yah I am exhausted, add that to the heavy workload of a first grade teacher, it's been a whirlwind of a week!

[Speaker 2] Oh, but I bet being a teacher and having experience with kids a lot has made it much easier on you. I would not know where to even begin with baking, especially with small kids. I just buy cookies for bake sales haha. What does Charlie do to help?

[Speaker 1] He helps to mix the ingredients, lick the bowls, and the clean up. Such as good kid. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 2] He's doing good. I have made it a point to walk him twice a day since we last spoke. He seems to really love that. I just have to get myself to keep doing it.

[Speaker 1] That's lovely, do you take him with you when you go hiking as well?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah. That is usually the only time I ever really take him on walks. He loves it because when I am hiking, if there are not a lot of other people around, he can run free and explore more than he can in the city park

[Speaker 1] That makese sense, um I wonder if he can swim, since you love the ocean.

[Speaker 2] Yes. He can also swim. I have to keep him leashed at the ocean though. I used to have two dogs. His brother Edgar was a very rambunctious pup and went too far out and got caught in an undertow. So I am scared to let him free out there.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, that's terrible, sorry to hear. Well maybe we can take our pups out for walks together sometime. My doodle is a bunch of energy.

[Speaker 2] I think that my boy would love to have a friend to walk with, and having a kid around might be good for him. He came from a large family with a bunch of kids!


I have a dog and we go for walks.

I help my neighbor.

I live in a city.

I am a grandmother.

[Speaker 2] I am great! Just came back from an awesome ride on one of my favorite horses!

[Speaker 1] I used to ride horses, now I walk to the farmers market.

[Speaker 2] Walking is great. I also love to snowboard. It is great exercise!

[Speaker 1] One of my grandchildren likes to snowboard, she's very good.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Where do you live? I live in a very rural area of wisconsin.

[Speaker 1] I live in cleveland. There are great restaurants all around.

[Speaker 2] I have an uncle in cleveland. I am more of a junk food eater, especially popcorn!

[Speaker 1] There's a popcorn place near me that puts candy in theirs, it is great.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds good! Do you travel at all?

[Speaker 1] Not anymore. Now, I tend to my neighbors garden, she's older than I.

[Speaker 2] I love to travel, especially to football games.

[Speaker 1] I never did understand football. My boyfriend loves it though,

[Speaker 2] Its not that hard. I will help you!

I have grandkids.

I live in Cleveland.

I like to ride horses, snowboard.
I live in rural Wisconsin.
I have a uncle that lives in Cleveland.
I love football games.

[Speaker 1] I actually got online and learn a bit more of football games, you were right it was not that hard to follow along.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, after you start learning some of the simple terms and such it makes watching a little more fun.

[Speaker 1] How did you get into football?

[Speaker 2] When I was teenager, I met someone that liked football a lot. It's all he would talk about, all he would play in real life, and the only kind of video game he played. I just kind of noticed how much I liked watching and sometimes playing it myself.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, that makes sense. My grandson plays football so I've decided to learn how the game works so I'm not completely lost during his games.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry, I meant to ask how you became interested in football as well. That's so sweet! I'm sure he will definitely appreciate you making such an effort to be involved! How long has he be playing football?

[Speaker 1] Well this is his first year playing competitive football but he played pop warner for about 3 years.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Do you go to all of his games?

[Speaker 1] I have been to a couple of his pop warner games, but his first high school game is next week! He's the starting quarterback!

[Speaker 2] The quarterback? Way to go! When I was in high school they used to have a group of people kind of cheerleaders make gift baskets every game to give to the players. Do they do anything like that as his school?

[Speaker 1] I'm not completely sure, I'll have to ask him! You know how teenagers are though so he might get embarrassed.

[Speaker 2] Well I hope they do, I know the players we made them for loved them. Especially on away days.

I have grandkids. My grandson was a football coach. My son is the starting quarterback of his football team.

I live in Cleveland.

I don't understand football. I have a boyfriend. I am interested in football.

I like to ride horses, snowboard.

I live in rural Wisconsin.

I have a uncle that lives in Cleveland.

I love football games. I became interested in football when I was a teenager.

[Speaker 1] I just came back from my grandson's first high school game, in answer to your question about the gift baskets for the players, they do make them!

[Speaker 2] That's great. Dod they need help with the baskets? Did your grandson win the game?

[Speaker 1] They didn't win but they made a good comeback in the second half if I understand what they told me. I think they are good with the baskets.

[Speaker 2] I am glad they had enough help. I find it ironic that your family is so invovled with football but you couldn't care less. HA!

[Speaker 1] Haha I do care, I just don't understand it well. It will take me time but I support them completely! Do you watch the major leagues or the college games?

[Speaker 2] I watch them both a lot. I love the game but my wife doesn't care about it.

[Speaker 1] It's not for everyone. I think the fandom and the crowds are what makes it fascinating.

[Speaker 2] I love the atmosphere of the college game more than the NFL but I do love the NFL more. Do you have a ffavorite team?

[Speaker 1] I'd probably have to say the Browns because they are our hometown heroes.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm sorry. That has to be tough. The Cavs though won you one!

[Speaker 1] It's all fun and games. Being the underdog is a good place to be.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I did like the browns last year. I thought they had a good team.

[Speaker 2] Cool shopping is my thing maybe why debt is piling up

[Speaker 1] I like to collect red items as it is my favorite color.

[Speaker 2] I don't collect anything but if I did it would be green.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's nice. I prefer winter though

[Speaker 2] Well, in winter, instead of grilling meat, I grill green apples.

[Speaker 1] Don't think my lawyer parents would approve

[Speaker 2] I understand, I really love fruit. I also grill nectarines.

[Speaker 1] Can I order it online though

[Speaker 2] Don't think so. Would not taste as good. Try green apples, they're my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Yea I should. I do not like swimming

[Speaker 2] Why not? Do you like to eat meat? I really do not.

[Speaker 1] Yea I do. I do not like my swimsuit

[Speaker 2] I enjoy eating toasted apple skin. Just buy a new swimsuit.

[Speaker 1] I guess so. I should try that too

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. After swimming, start the grill and throw some apples on.

[Speaker 1] Yea. Maybe add some poison to the apples

[Speaker 2] What a joker!! Maybe add some honey or sauce instead.

[Speaker 1] No I have not. I go to the casino on the weekends. Do you drink beer?

[Speaker 2] Beer is awesome, I like all the new crafts ones

[Speaker 1] Oh great! I've tried 35 kinds. I work for a brewery as a financial analyst.

[Speaker 2] I've been to over 100 different breweries. What kind of music do you like?

[Speaker 1] All kinds, but mainly classic rock. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Only the freshest pop on the radio. I listen to anything in top 100

[Speaker 1] Haha, that's cool. I like new music too.

[Speaker 2] Do you cook at home at all?

[Speaker 1] No I like to eat out. I travel a lot.

[Speaker 2] I gave up on fast food, cook everything at hom

[Speaker 1] That's good. Probably healthier for you.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite color?

I have been to many brewery.

I cook at home for every meal.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite beer you have tried?

[Speaker 2] Probably Jackie O's or Ranger, How's the wife ?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I love Ranger. The wife hates beer, though, so she drinks her wine and I my craft beers.

[Speaker 2] wine is good though but I  don't think its better than beer. have you gotten a change to travel yet ?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, beer is better! I plan on visiting some other craft brewers to see how they compare to the one I work at. The boss and some coworkers will all be going with me.

[Speaker 2] Good idea taking them , you finance guys need to let loose once in awhile and listen to some rock music.

[Speaker 1] LOL you got that right! Wouldn't you like to have your dream job at a craft brewer as a taste tester? haha! And did you think the final season of Game of Thrones was bad?

[Speaker 2] That would definitely be the dream job, i would have to work out twice as much to kill calories. I'll say it wasn't as worse as LOST or the Soprano's

[Speaker 1] That's a definite for the working out, at least for me. I was lost on LOST at the end. I just didn't like them making Dany crazy in GOT.

[Speaker 2] Weirdly I think it makes a lot of sense in a long downward spiral kinda way. have you listened to any of the new rock songs ?

[Speaker 1] You have a good point about GOT; maybe it does make sense. Yeah, I'm still listening to alternative. Have you heard Van Horn by Saint Motel?

[Speaker 2] See I've heard about Saint Motel , I just wasn't sure if i should listen. can you describe for me ?

I have been married for 6 years.

I like gambling.

I like classic rock. I like new music. I listen to Van Horn by Saint Motel.

I don't cook. I travel a lot.

I drink craft beers.

I watch game of thrones. I didn't like the direction Game of Thrones took with Daenerys.

I watch Game of Thrones.

I cook at home for every meal.

I listen to rock music.

I watched LOST and the Soprano's.

[Speaker 1] I went to the Saint Motel concert. You should go when they next are on tour, they were amazing.

[Speaker 2] Id love too, where was the concert, was it far to travel?

[Speaker 1] No it was pretty close to me, and the tour goes all over the country, so there will definitely be a concert near you. I think the tour is continuing for another few months, so definitely check it out. Do you often go to concerts?

[Speaker 2] Not as much as id like. My last concert was just a small thing here by the beach put on by a brewery, was a fun day though, loads of good beer and Smashmouth played.

[Speaker 1] Hey that sounds great. Small concerts are always fun, and getting smashmouth is actually pretty impressive. Does the brewery do these regularly?

[Speaker 2] Yeah kind of, usually one at start of summer, then another at the end. The next one should be gun, Sum 41 are playing, im not a fan but im sure the beer will make help things along!

[Speaker 1] Haha I'm sure it will. Are the concerts all day beach parties with food and stuff, or just an evening event of beer and music?

[Speaker 2] All day, there are loads of food trucks, plus the brewery have a bbq tent and a massive beer marquee! It usually wraps up pretty early just before sunset so is a great day out for families.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! I adore barbecue, and food trucks are always fun, so that sounds like a great time. Do you bring people with you to the concerts, or just hang by yourself?

[Speaker 2] Theres a small crew of us that go down. Usually myself, my friend Dave, his buddy Paul, Pauls girlfriend and a few of her friends. We stay to the end then find a dive bar to see the rest of the night in. Its a good event, you should come next time.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I'd love to. If it's okay with you, I'll bring my new girlfriend too. It can be kinda lonely being the only gay people near us, so we're always looking for more friends. Are you dating anyone?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that sounds great, im currently not dating anyone, enjoying being free and single if im honest. Some of Pauls girlfriends friends are gay, im sure youd all get on great. Sometimes after the gigs we go back to Pauls for a hot tub and drink until the early hours, so much fun, im sure you two would be welcome.

[Speaker 1] I see. Weed tea is some goog stuff. You should order some. You dance?

[Speaker 2] No, but my daughter takes ballet

[Speaker 1] Hmmm. Vera lived in crippled creek, arizona. You live in arizona?

[Speaker 2] No. Who is vera

I live in a rural area.

I did not live in Arizona.

I went right into the work force. i did not attend state university.

[Speaker 1] Hello again. just remembered that I also planted herb seeds a couple of moths ago, forgot to tell you.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful! I am excited to plant my herb garden for the season as well. I'm going to plant parsley, rosemary, and basil

[Speaker 1] A herb garden is so useful! The fresh herbs make a big difference in taste. You'll love it.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I love cooking with fresh herbs; they have such bright flavors. My daughter is going to help me plant the garden this weekend after her ballet lesson. How're your kids?

[Speaker 1] Me too. My kids are doing good in school this year; they seem to be coping okay with the divorce. How's your daughter doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm so glad to hear that. It must have been difficult challenging for them. She's doing well. She has a dance recital next week weeks and has practice three times a week.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I was really worried. That's great that your daughter has a recital coming up. It's a lot of work for you doing all that driving.

[Speaker 2] With our house being so rural, it's a lot of driving to and from the dance studio but it has been worth it to help her achieve her dream of becoming a professional dancer. She wants to audition to dance school next spring.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! She's very serious about it then. How old is she?

[Speaker 2] She'll be 18 in April. I know she's excited about going to university. It's hard to advise her on applying since I didn't go myself. Can you talk with her abotu your experience at state university?

[Speaker 1] I didn't realize she was ready for uni. Sure, I'll be happy to talk to her about it. Financial aid is pretty tricky; I went through that.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I'd really appreciate that and know she would too. Are your kids playing any sports this spring?

I grow peas, carrots and onions in my garden. I like cooking with fresh herbs.

my best friends name is Kiley riley.

I have a daughter and a wife. My daughter takes ballet three times a week. My daughter is seventeen.

I Do not sing.

I own a herb garden. I live in a rural area.

I did not live in Arizona.

I went right into the work force. I did not attend state university.

I cook with fresh herbs.

[Speaker 1] I went to my son's first football game, he seems to be getting serious about it. Do you have any tips on how to best support your kid's dreams?

[Speaker 2] I recommend being supportive through always showing up and showing a keen interest in their progress at mealtime. I always discuss my daughter's ballet work at dinner after school. Through these conversations, i learn how she's doing and what i can do to better support her aspirations. I also keep in touch with the adult instructors at the ballet program to see what they think i can do to enhance her experience. Do you know your son's football coach? He might have ideas for after-school training or summer programs.

[Speaker 1] The best way to support them is to be there for them, be their cheerleader, and help them when they struggle.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that is very true. I try not to be critical of my daughter - she's hard enough on herself. She plans to pursue dance as a career, so the more confidence she has in her abilities, the better.  Is your son looking at any colleges yet? Perhaps your alma mater, Arizona State?

[Speaker 1] He is looking there also a lot of the big 10 schools. What schools do you think are good for football scholarships?

[Speaker 2] I think the Big 10 schools are a great start. I'd also recommend the Ivy leagues, if his grades are good enough. Their football rivalries are legendary. Finally I'd look at any large state school - those typically have well-funded athletics programs.  Does he have any area he hopes to major in?

[Speaker 1] I think he wants to go into business. But I want him to go somewhere where his options are open, he could always change his mind.

[Speaker 2] That is true. In that case I'd recommend Penn State - my alma mater. I changed my major a few times and was able to have a lot of flexibility in terms of what i studied. It also has an excellent business school, Smeal. When is he thinking of applying?

[Speaker 1] He will be applying next year. It seems so crazy how fast the time has flown.

[Speaker 2] Yes - it's an exciting time. While i'll miss my daughter, I'm also thrilled for her as she takes the next steps in her life.  I'm glad we saved enough money that she should be able to go wherever she wants, even without a scholarship (but a scholarship won't hurt).

[Speaker 1] That is awesome! With three kids, we won't be able to do that. We've saved some, but loans or scolarships are necessary. Where would your daughter like to go?

[Speaker 2] She is hoping to go to Juliard or another school with a good dance program/conservatory. Hopefully she can get in! If not her fallback plan is to study veterinary medicine.  That way she'd be really helpful with our farm animals.  Your son will probably be fine - he's a star athlete so is sure to get lots of opportunities to go wherever he wants!

[Speaker 1] We were born in canada, and moved here. They like running here way better.

[Speaker 2] What is canada like? I imagine cole

[Speaker 1] Very. I graduated from ubc a few years ago, it was minus 30 in the winter.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. Do you hike often

[Speaker 1] Yes I live in portland, main so I hike all of the time

[Speaker 2] My favorite baseball player is from portland. Mike trout is why I became a shortstop in college

[Speaker 1] How was your last baseball game?

[Speaker 2] Oh, it was great. We are just getting started with scrimmages right now. It's a lot of work but so great to be on the field again! Do you like baseball?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, sort of I guess.  I don't get to watch a ton because the only team we have up here is the Portland Seadogs and that's only double A.

[Speaker 2] Double A can be some really get ball though! You get young up-and-comers there. You might see the next Mike Trout!

[Speaker 1] Thats true.  Have you heard from any scouts yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, but they'll be around this season for sure. My coaches think I have a decent shot at getting drafted. My parents tell me not to count on it, and to keep up with my studies!

[Speaker 1] Yeah haha.  Worst comes to worst you could always become an engineer like me.  Not as exciting as playing in the MLB

[Speaker 2] Maybe not as exciting, but you'll have a longer career for sure! What kind of engineer are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm an environmental engineer.  It was a clear choice for me just because as you know I love the outdoors, hiking, and engineering.

[Speaker 2] Well, my parents always say, if you find a job doing what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! I sure do hope baseball works out for me.

[Speaker 1] Me too, that would be awesome

[Speaker 2] It would be so funny if I ended up playing for the Portland Seadogs!

I am an Environmental engineer.

I play basketball. My favorite baseball player is Mike trout. I am a shortstop in college.

I plan to play baseball professional.I want to get drafted into the MLB.

[Speaker 1] You'll never guess who I ran into at the grocery store, Mike Trout!

[Speaker 2] No way! Did you get his autograph? Or better yet, his phone number? What was he doing there?

[Speaker 1] I got his autograph on a napkin I had in my purse! He was very nice about it. He was just there getting groceries.

[Speaker 2] How did you ask him for the autograph? Did you end up buying groceries after running into the greatest baseball player ever? I would have been too starstruck to remember to check out!

[Speaker 1] Haha! I just said "Mike Trout? Wow. I'm a huge fan. Could I get your autograph?" And he couldn't have been nicer. He even commented on my cereal choice! I did finish buying my groceries - Mike Trout approved Cap'n Crunch!

[Speaker 2] That is a great cereal choice! My favorite happens to be Cocoa Puffs, but maybe I should change it up. Were you getting supplies for dinner? Do you enjoy cooking?

[Speaker 1] I like finding quick and easy meals to cook for one. I am a vegan, but my roommate is not, so we don't eat the same meals very often. For dinner tonight, I made sweet potato black bean tacos with avocado. I love sweet potatoes so I eat them a lot.Do you like cooking?

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious! I haven't had much experience with cooking since I mainly just eat from the dining hall right now, but next year I'm going to live in an apartment and have to learn I guess. How long have you been vegan for?

[Speaker 1] About three years now. I was vegetarian for a long time before that. You may want to  look in to a plant-based diet if you want to play baseball professionally. There is a a lot of research that shows athletes who eat a plant based diet recover faster and perform better!

[Speaker 2] Thank you for the tip - I will look into it. Anything to help my chances of getting drafted! Maybe you can send over the recipe for those tacos so I can attempt some cooking.

[Speaker 1] I'd be happy to. They're pretty easy to make, so you could even share them with your teammates if you wanted!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure they would appreciate that! But if I want to feed a whole team, I might have to borrow a kitchen that's bigger than my dorm's kitchen. And less crusty. How did you learn to cook?


I love my smartphone.
I am working on a book.
I often wear dark clothing.
Vegetables in general aren't my thing.

[Speaker 1] I wish my best friend was closer

[Speaker 2] Why? I'll also march in place.

[Speaker 1] She lives in a completely different town

[Speaker 2] That stinks. I hope one day I can be in charge of a movie.

[Speaker 1] Are you a director? What do you do?

[Speaker 2] No I want to be. I play an instrument, you?

[Speaker 1] I play and watch hockey. I cannot get enough of it

[Speaker 2] I bet you make friends, huh?

[Speaker 1] A bit. But I prefer to focus on my job

[Speaker 2] What is your job? I'm still in school.

[Speaker 1] I'm a business owner. I studied it in high school

[Speaker 2] That's really cool, what kind of business?

[Speaker 1] It is a clothing design brand. Do you have any family?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I still live at home with my parents because I am a teenager.

My best friend lives in a different town.

I love hockey.

I own a clothing design brand.

I play music on the corner.

I want to be a movie director.

I am still in school. I am a teenager. I live with my parents.

[Speaker 1] I just got a really nice contract to design some apparell for a local company.

[Speaker 2] What kind of clothing do you specialize in?

[Speaker 1] Women clothing, Bohemian kind of look.Chic but also laid back

[Speaker 2] I like the Bohemian style. Being a teenager, my parents want me to dress prim and proper but I'm pretty sure if I looked in their old closets, I'd find some nice Boho vintage stuff.

[Speaker 1] Im sure they do.Ha! Im trying to bring that back, but with a sense of more umphh

[Speaker 2] Do you sell your clothing line in stores or strictly online? I'm looking for possible options to play my music as I'm not always happy doing so on the streets. Cool boutiques or stores would be awesome to play music in.

[Speaker 1] Yes I do have a small boutique and an online platform too.Would love to have you play somtime.What type of music do you play?

[Speaker 2] I play mostly folksy music on my acoustic guitar. It's all original music that I write and compose myself.

[Speaker 1] Thats great.Keep that up.Do you play is school too?

[Speaker 2] Thank you. In school I am in the band and play the cello. Speaking of school, our team won the state championship in hockey last year. You mentioned you love hockey. Just watching or did you play also?

[Speaker 1] Playing and really good at it too.I try to make time whenever I can when im not design.Its being a passion since I was very young

[Speaker 2] That's great. It's a wonderful sport to keep you fit!

I love hockey. I play hockey.

I own a clothing design brand. I recently got a new job contract. I design women's clothing in a bohemian style. I sell my clothing in a small boutique. I also sell online.

I play music on the corner. I want to be a movie director.

I am a teenager still in school. Our hockey team were state champions last year.I live with my parents.

My parents want me to dress less bohemian.

I currently play music on the street. I am looking for new venues to play in. I play mostly folk music. I write and compose all my own songs. I play cello in the school band.

[Speaker 1] What musical instrument do you play?

[Speaker 2] I play several instruments but I tend to play the guitar and harmonica more often. The harmonica is very easy to carry around so I take it with me most places.

[Speaker 1] How does it sound acoustically on the streets where you play?

[Speaker 2] It sounds great! There are a lot of brick buildings around the corner I play at and the sound travels well.

[Speaker 1] I am interested to see how you find time to play and also be as good at hockey as you are!

[Speaker 2] The music really comes natural to me. I tend to think through my day in music and it helps keep me focused with my school and upcoming hockey games. Does your hockey team have any games this weekend?

[Speaker 1] No.  We are on bye this weekend.  Honestly, I could use the break considering all I have going on with the new contract.

[Speaker 2] I bet, are you going to continue women's bohemian clothing with the new contract or venture into something else?

[Speaker 1] I will continue with the current style.  I love it.  Right now, it really appeals to the market I am in.  You love bohemian don't you?

[Speaker 2] I do! I can't wait until I can get some more gigs and make some additional money. My parents want me to dress less bohemian so they won't buy me any more of those clothes.

[Speaker 1] I get it.  Parents have their style.  But I bet you look great in it!  I could be wrong but I bet it looks great when you are playing on the corner!

[Speaker 2] It does and I think it goes with my style of music very well! I hope I can stop by your shop sometime!

[Speaker 1] Sounds good.  I would join you as a vegan, but you know I could never give up my fish.  Did you see the new Game of Thrones episode last night?

[Speaker 2] To tell you the truth, I'm kind of tired of being a vegan. I'd really like to think about loosening up a little, at least to eat some fish.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I got you.  It might help yhou get more protein so you can build more leg muscle for soccer haha!

[Speaker 2] Well, that's true! I really should think about it. It's just that I've been a vegan for such a long time, and I was raised that way. So, it's kind of a big decision for me.

[Speaker 1] I totally get it.  Its totally up to you.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for your support!  Veggies are great, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to eat a burger while I watch Game of Thrones.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I know you don't like reading, but you really should read the Game of Thrones books.  They are amazing!

[Speaker 2] It's a good time to try new things! A burger and a book! LOL

[Speaker 1] So have you played soccer recently?

My favorite food is tuna.

I like fish. I watch Game of Thrones. I have read the Game of Thrones books.

I was raised a vegan and have been one for a long time.

I play soccer.  We will be starting spring soccer in a few weeks. I am excited to play soccer.

[Speaker 1] What did you think about the latest episode of Game of Thrones?

[Speaker 2] I enjoyed it. I really thought the battle scenes were spectacular, and finally the dragons are doing something! The dragon attack scenes were especially exciting. That said, I'm disappointed in the arc of Daenarys's character

[Speaker 1] Its so well produced, with the epic battles, the dragons and the scenery, i can almost forgive the sometimes sloppy writing. I enjoy mostly for the visuals at the moment, the CGI is amazing.

[Speaker 2] Agreed - the CGI rivals the best in the movie industry.  The writing is indeed sloppy however - especially the current last season. I really wish G.R.R. Martin had finished the series prior to the show catching up to the end - i get the sense that the showrunners are scrambling to finish on threadbare plot points!

[Speaker 1] Yes i think thats the problem. I also heard suggestions G.R.R Martin is kind of bored of it and doesnt look focussed on ever finishing it. Hopefully if that happens they can find decent writers to finish it well.

[Speaker 2] It doesn't affect me too much as i intend to never read the books, but i feel bad for the fans that read them all! Have you caught up to the latest novel? And do you intend to finish the series at this point?

[Speaker 1] Im all caught up. Luckily the show is not entirely faithful to the books which keeps it interesting. Are there any other TV shows you are enjoying at the moment?

[Speaker 2] I've been really enjoying the Expanse! it is like Game of Thrones, but in space - and it's also based off some popular book series (again, have not read them but these i may actually try out...). It's on Amazon Prime now!

[Speaker 1] Oh great, that sounds great for me and i have Prime. I think ill avoid the books this time, try it the other way around. Iv heard a lot of good things about Godzilla vs. Kon, but its on HBO Max and i dont have that, have you seen it yet?

[Speaker 2] I haven't, but i plan to  - i really enjoyed the latest Godzilla movies! The last one i saw in theaters, and it was a blast - i especially loved the scene with Rodan coming out of the volcano. That was really exciting.

[Speaker 1] It would be great to see it in a theatre. I only have a small TV so i feel like the impact might be lost a little if i watch it at mine. Hopefully one of my friends with a big tv will want to watch it with me.

[Speaker 2] Yea - the theater experience is hard to replicate, so the bigger the screen the better! And hopefully with a large powerful sound system. I watched the 2014 Godzilla movie with excellent subwoofers, and it really brought the action to life.

[Speaker 2] So what are some things you enjoy? I construct things,

[Speaker 1] Scuba diving. Last summer swam with manta rays

[Speaker 2] Wow. Travel is a passion of mine and I swam with dolphins. Never manta rays tho.

[Speaker 1] How was that? Always wanted to meet a dolphin

[Speaker 2] Really cool. I'm so tall that I was taller than any dolphin in the aquarium.

[Speaker 1] Lol.. You implying you broke into an aquarium?

[Speaker 2] Haha. Never. Do you like the outdoors? I am always outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I do... Though I really hate the cold

[Speaker 2] Oh man, I much rather the nicer weather. I've a huge outdoor garden.

[Speaker 1] Always wanted a garden... Except my mind goes to that csi episode.. Brutal

[Speaker 2] I must have missed that episode, but I can imagine.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, pretty much ruined home gardening for me

[Speaker 2] Its been nice talking to you today.

My name is Homer.

I like scuba diving. I like the outdoors. I hate the cold.

I do not have a garden. I watch CSI.

My name is Luciano. I am tall.
I like constructing things.
I like to travel. I like the outdoors.
I have a garden.

[Speaker 1] Hi Luciano. I would really like to see pictures of your garden and learn how you created it.

[Speaker 2] Hello Homer! I will send you some! It is beautiful this time of year. Have you been scuba diving lately?

[Speaker 1] I haven't unfortunately. It's been too cold where I'm from and I hate the cold! I hope to go when it warms up some.

[Speaker 2] I would love to go with you! We could travel to the Bahamas and spend time outdoors. I have been building a house and need a break.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun,  could definitely give you some tips on how to scuba dive! Building a house sounds stressful. What's been the hardest part so far?

[Speaker 2] All of the different knowledge you need! Drawing blueprints, electrician work, plumbing, framing, drywall, roofing, et cetera. If we went on a trip outdoors, where would you want to go?

[Speaker 1] I would like to go somewhere warm and tropical. Maybe the Bahamas like you mentioned before, or somewhere like Hawaii. Where is somewhere that you would like to go?

[Speaker 2] Scuba diving is perfect there! I would like to go to China and explore all the beautiful mountains and forests there. You could learn some gardening tips there and I will learn design tips. Maybe I can build you a garden!

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing! I would love to see your handiwork. Do you think there would be good hiking opportunities in the Chinese mountains? I like to get outdoors and take in the sights when I can.

[Speaker 2] The hiking is some of the world's best and most beautiful! And the Chinese are historically great gardeners so we could both learn a lot!

[Speaker 1] Sounds great. I will probably plan a Chinese vacation in the coming months! Do you have a favorite TV show? I want to find a new show to watch but I can't stop watching CSI!

[Speaker 2] CSI is amazing! I love crime shows! Game of Thrones is my favorite, though. I like it almost as much as being outside and gardening. What other shows do you enjoy, Homer?

My name is Homer.

I do not have a garden.I want to learn how to create gardens.

I haven't gone scuba diving lately due to the cold. I would like to go somewhere warm and tropical, like the Bahamas or Hawaii.

I like going hiking outdoors and seeing the outdoor sights.

I love watching CSI, and I want to see a new show.

My name is Luciano. I am tall.

I like constructing things.

I like to travel. I like the outdoors.

I have a beautiful garden that I created. I have been building a house recently. I know how to draw blueprints, do electrician work, do plumbing, framing, and other house repairs.

I want to see the mountains and forests of China.

I love watching crime shows like CSI. Game of Thrones is my favorite show.

[Speaker 1] I just watched a new crime show that I am dying to talk to you about it. I really think you should watch it, its like CSI but with some key differences.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am intruiged what is the show?

[Speaker 1] It's called Murdoch Mysteries. Its a Canadian historical crime show. Detective Murdoch and a team of constables solve murders with early 1900s technology. I love the historic twist in the genre,  and I thought you might enjoy it as well.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, it sounds right up my alley. How do y ou watch it?

[Speaker 1] The first few seasons are on Netflix, and the rest are on the streaming service Acorn, which is an inexpensive service for Canadian and British shows. It's worth picking up even just for Murdoch.

[Speaker 2] I haven't heard of acorn, I will have to check it out. Any other good Candian or British shows you reccomend.

[Speaker 1] Yes actually! Doc Martin, Father Brown, Midsomer Murders, and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries are all excellent British crime and mystery shows.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I am going to look into those, thanks. Have you given more thought to starting your garden?

[Speaker 1] I actually went out and bought some seeds today. I have a good mix of flowers and herbs to start with. You have a successfully garden, what tips do you have to make sure a garden succeeds?

[Speaker 2] The best thing is to have good soil. Without that good base you are doomed to fail before you begin. I would also research to really know what each plant needs.

[Speaker 1] Okay cool, I'll do the research later today. I bought marigolds and basil, so those should be easy to deal with. How do I determine what makes soil good?

[Speaker 2] You want a loam soil are. It is  best for plant growth because sand, silt, and clay come toegther for this perfect combination.

[Speaker 1] Bears are in the circus too!

[Speaker 2] They're scary. I can climb the trees and go on the swing by myself now.

[Speaker 1] I need to head on down to the walmart in a minute.

[Speaker 2] Are you going to buy the new game halo 3?

[Speaker 1] I've halo 5? What do you mean new?

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry, I meant a new game like halo 3. It is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I guess that is cool. I'm watching game of thrones.

[Speaker 2] I just finished watching that show a few weeks ago. It is really good.

[Speaker 1] I wonder how it will end? I hope I love it

[Speaker 2] I do not want to give it away, but it ends great. Awesome cliffhanger!

[Speaker 1] I mean, the whole series lol.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, the most recent season ended good. I am excited for the next!

[Speaker 1] Are you sad it is the last one?

[Speaker 2] Yes. It is such an intense and gruesome show. It needs more.

[Speaker 1] Winter is coming. Haha. But really.

[Speaker 2] I love that saying, but it is really coming haha!

I like winter.
I play Halo.
I watch Game of Thrones.

I like winter. I take cold showers.

I like video games like Halo.

[Speaker 1] Who is your favorite Game of Thrones Character?

[Speaker 2] Probably Jojen Reed because I really like that actor lol.  Do you have one?

[Speaker 1] Honestly i like them all.  The show is so engaging.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's very exciting!  I like all the fighting and the action.  Keeps me wanting to always watch more!  Same reason I love playing Halo I guess haha

[Speaker 1] Exactly..Halo is definetly full of action.  So tell me why you enjoy cold showers?

[Speaker 2] Well, I don't actually like them....haha!  But...I did a lot of research and there are a lot of benefits to them.  They make your body adapt to things that are stressors, so you handle stress better, it can help with sleeping too.  There are a surprising amount of helpful things from doing it, even if it isn't pleasant.  Have you ever tried it?

[Speaker 1] Wow I would think it would wake you up an not help you sleep.  I am going to have to do some research

[Speaker 2] Well, if you do it right before bed it would probably wake you up.  I usually try to in the morning first thing and it helps me feel invigorated to start my day.  It's definitely worth looking into.  The first month is kind of hard but after that it really doesn't feel too uncomfortable anymore

[Speaker 1] Well I will look into it for sure.  i am always looking to bette my health

[Speaker 2] Cool, you'll have to let me know if you end up trying it!  There's a lot of research out there on it.  What kinds of things do you like to do for healthy exercise?  I like running and hiking.

[Speaker 1] I like riding a bike..I love riding on a great trail.  I get my exercise while enjoying a beautiful view

[Speaker 2] That's true!  That's why I love hiking!  I want to try riding a bike on a trail but I'm scared to crash!  Have you ever had a bad fall?

I like winter.

I play Halo. I really like Game of Thrones.

I am conscious about my health. I like bike riding and scenery.

I like winter. I take cold showers in the mornings. I dont't like cold showers.

I like video games like Halo.

I like Game of Thrones and I have seen all the episodes. I liked the ending of Game of Thrones. I like the actor that plays Jojen Reed.

I like action.

I like running and hiking. I am scared of bike riding. I like scenery.

[Speaker 1] I just went for a bike ride on a beautiful trail.

[Speaker 2] Cool - how long is it? AND is it a hikeable trail too?

[Speaker 1] It was about eight miles.  I'm really exhausted and that makes me feel great.  But no, it's just a biking trail; hikers aren't allowed.

[Speaker 2] How long does it take you to bike eight miles? That's one of the things I don't like about hiking - I have to set aside a lot of time to do it

[Speaker 1] Yes, it can take a long time and you have to cover a lot of ground to get a really good workout.  This trail probably took me 45 minutes to an hour.  There were a lot of inclines which take it out of you.

[Speaker 2] My dad is 67 and he bikes - but his doctor told him he had the heart of a 45 year old! The cardio is so great for you. Do you bike all year long? I only hike from March-October(ish)

[Speaker 1] I can understand not biking in the winter, but I love it.  I have a bike with bigger tires and that helps when the conditions are worse.  It's invigorating to get out there and feel the cold wind on your face.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like you might like to ski or snowboard, too!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I've just starting to get into them.  I admit I'm very much an amateur still, though.  I've got a friend who's trying to get me up to speed quickly.  Do you ski or snowboard?

[Speaker 2] I skiied some when I was younger, but I haven't in years.  I'm afraid I'd struggle if I started it back up!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I wonder if it's like riding a bike.  I definitely felt really wobbly the first time I got up on skis.  Ate a fair amount of snow before I got some feel for it.

[Speaker 2] All I remember is "pizza" with your legs - haha!
