[Speaker 1] Hello there! How are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] Just jamming out to some new kids on the block!!

[Speaker 1] Oh my! I'm just enjoying a new coloring book after a hectic evening.

[Speaker 2] How sweet!! I need to get my dance gear ready for my class tomorrow night!

[Speaker 1] My husband found out he was adopted earlier... Wouldn't necessarily call it sweet.

[Speaker 2] Now that's heavy stuff! Being born in the early eighties myself, I suppose anything is possible.

[Speaker 1] It definitely came as a shock. So, you are a dancer?

[Speaker 2] Big time! I love hip hop! And you?

[Speaker 1] We listen to a lot of underground rap. Not too popular in our rural farm community.

[Speaker 2] Ha! I love that randomness! So, I was cleaning out closets and found my lite brite!

[Speaker 1] Lol. I had one of those when I was a kiddo... Along with my easy bake oven p

[Speaker 2] Yes! So throwback! What is your go to late night snack?

[Speaker 1] Hmm... Nachos or chili cheese fries. You?

[Speaker 2] Whoa! Again, intense! I'm a cereal kind of girl.

[Speaker 1] I've a super high metabolism so I usually eat whatever I want. Favorite cereal?

[Speaker 1] Have you always been a fan of New Kids On the Block?

[Speaker 2] Yes I have! I've listened to NKOTB since the early 1990s. I love their songs "Hangin' Tough" and "Step by Step". Do you like New Kids on the Block?

[Speaker 1] They are ok, I would rather listen to underground rap. Do you like it?

[Speaker 2] I do like rap, but I don't know much about underground rap. In my dance class, we do a routine set to "Bad and Boujee" by Migos. Which underground rappers do you listen to?

[Speaker 1] I like J Dilla. I've been listening to him for awhile now. I just had chilli cheese fries. They are awesome.

[Speaker 2] I'll give J Dilla a listen on YouTube later. Chili cheese fries sound yummy. My favorite type of French fries are disco fries with mozzarella cheese and gravy.

[Speaker 1] Wow, fries with gravy are really popular around here too. I thought it was just a local thing. Do you make them yourself or do you get them from a restaurant?

[Speaker 2] I like to get them from the local diner. My dance class goes there every Friday evening after class.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. I like cereal also. How often do you eat it?

[Speaker 2] I eat Raisin Bran and a banana every morning. Sometimes, I have cereal as a late-night snack, too. What's your favorite cereal?

[Speaker 1] My favorite is Honeycombs. I have them a couple times a week. So do you still play with your lite brite?

[Speaker 2] I haven't played with my Lite Brite since I was about 10. It's still up in my attic gathering dust. I have good memories of it, though.

I like to color.

[Speaker 1] My husband just brought home some fries with gravy and they are amazing.

[Speaker 2] Nice. I love fries too. What kind fries?

[Speaker 1] Whole potato fries, skin and all, with a deep brown meat gravy. Delicious!

[Speaker 2] Sounds delicious. Is this your dinner?

[Speaker 1] That and a huge burger with bacon, Jack cheese, salsa, and jalapeños

[Speaker 2] Yum! You're making me hungry.

[Speaker 1] Hey, it's been awhile since we had lunch. How 'bout next Tuesday. I'll take you to the restaurant the burger and fries come from....

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. We should definitely catch up.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'd like that too. I want to hear more about your dance class. I'm a little old, but I think I need to get out and move more...

I like to color.

I am a foodie. I am old and inactive. I like nachos and chili cheese fries. I have high metabolism.

I like underground rap. I like J Dilla.

I was born in the early 80s.

[Speaker 1] I'm really looking forward to learning some dance moves from you!

[Speaker 2] I'd love to teach you.  We can start really easy and work up since you're not currently very active.

[Speaker 1] that sounds great to me! is it difficult?

[Speaker 2] The great thing about dancing, in my opinion, is that there's no wrong way to do it.  At least if you're just doing it for fun.  You move how you want to, and how you're able.  So we can start by just doing some stationary moves with our upper-bodies, and then get more dynamic the more comfortable you feel.  And there are no wrong moves as far as I'm concerned.

[Speaker 1] i'm very excited i like that there is no worng way to do it. how long have you been teaching?

[Speaker 2] Well, I've never taught dance formally.  I've just taken classes.  But I do show other people some moves whenever they're interested.  Having a dance studio would be a dream of mine but that's a very long ways off.

[Speaker 1] that would be amazing i hope one day you achieve your goal

[Speaker 2] Thank you, that's very kind.  What was your dream when you were a little girl?

[Speaker 1] i would love my own restaurant i am a big foodi

[Speaker 2] That would be really cool, although restaurants are tough work.  What type of food do you think you'd serve?

[Speaker 1] definetely mexican im really good at making it

[Speaker 2] Everyone seems to love Mexican, so that sounds like a good idea.  My favorite Mexican dishes are fajitas and chimichangas.  Do you make great fajitas or chimichangas?  If so I think we may need to make a deal where I teach you some dance moves and you give me a chimichanga.

I like to color.

I like underground rap. I like J Dilla.

I am interested in learning new dance moves.

I am not very active.

I am a female. I have a dream of opening a Mexican restaurant one day.

I was born in the early 80s.

I like hip hop.I have been a fan of New Kids On The Block since the early 1990s.

I love to teach people to dance.I love to dance. I believe there is no wrong way to dance. I do not formally teach dance class. I have taken many dance classes. I have a dream of owning a dance studio.

I like Mexican food. My favorite Mexican dishes are fajitas and chimichangas.

[Speaker 1] If you fulfill your dream of owning a dance studio someday, have you thought about what type of dance you would focus on teaching?

[Speaker 2] I like dances like the salsa and more classical styles. Things you can do with a partner. I think a lot of people would like to learn those styles.

[Speaker 1] I would be instantly dead if I tried any of those dance moves. I can barely maneuver the hover round around the couch these days! Do you have any good dance moves for sitting?

[Speaker 2] Just start by moving your body, moving your arms and just getting into the music. As long as your happy and having fun there’s no wrong way to dance.

[Speaker 1] I like your enthusiasm. I could use someone like you when I open my restaurant! That's if the loan ever goes through. Apparently, an above ground pool isn't enough collateral!

[Speaker 2] You always made great food. I know I would be eating there all time if you did finally get it open.

[Speaker 1] Thanks. Maybe Mexican isn't the way to go. Any other cuisines you like?

[Speaker 2] I like Italian food a lot as well. I think you should stick to Mexican. A lot of people like it.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you're right. My husband came from Mexico and he says that I make the best tamales he's ever had.

[Speaker 2] I love tamales you should let me know next time you are planning on making them. I don’t mean to invite myself but I’d like to try them.

[Speaker 1] You should come over! We can eat tamales in my above ground pool before the bank repossesses it!

[Speaker 2] I don’t think that are going to come for that. Haha. Unless the bank wants a pool for employees to take a break in.

[Speaker 1] Yellow I am a gold medalist for 100 meter in the olympics

[Speaker 2] Wow! That is impressive. Swimming or running?

[Speaker 1] Running. And I also do gymnastics it is my fave

[Speaker 2] Nice. I prefer hiking and rock climbing myself. Living in co is great for those.

[Speaker 1] Nice I love enjoy italian food and garlic bread

[Speaker 2] Me too. I often go to company dinners at italian restaurants. What is your favorite dish?

[Speaker 1] That is awesome. I love chicken alfredo

[Speaker 2] Delicious choice. I love coming home from work to a nice plate of that.

[Speaker 1] It is and I do enjoy it a lot.

[Speaker 2] I work as a mechanical engineer so I do not know a lot about gymnastics.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I its quite not that hard to understand the mechanics of it

[Speaker 2] I'm sure. Have you ever been to colorado?

[Speaker 1] No I've never been to colorado

[Speaker 2] I live there, you'll have to come visit sometime. Great trails for running.

My name is Jo. I love the color yellow.

I won a gold medal at the Olympics. I am a runner. I also love gymnastics.

I like Italian food and garlic bread. I like Chicken Alfredo.

I have never been to Colorado.

I like hiking and rock climbing. I live in Colorado.

I like Italian food. I go to company dinners at Italian restaurants. I like Chicken Alfredo.

I am a mechanical engineer. I do not know much about gymnastics.

[Speaker 1] I might be going to Colorado for a gymnastics tournament!

[Speaker 2] I still am so impressed that you won a gold medal. We should get together soon and meet up at a great Italian restaurant. Would you like to do that?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to!  That sounds wonderful!  Know of anywhere I can get some good garlic bread?  I think that's my favorite part of any Italian restaurant!

[Speaker 2] Well when you get to Colorado we can meet. I just need to get a sate you will be here. Since yo may be coming to Colorado I can drive pretty much anywhere in the state to meet you consideing you will have travelled a ways to get to Colorado. I know of a bunch of great places that have delicious garlic bread. I live near Aspen. Do you know if you will be flying into Aspen or Denver?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking Denver but I could probably fly into Aspen if it's easier.  I don't want you to have to drive too far!  Denver just seemed to have more flights and be a bigger airport but I think that they were the same price!  I'm not sure when it will be.  I'm hoping next month.  How's the weather in Colorado in May?

[Speaker 2] Yeah Denver is HUGE! It is also very beautiful. The weather is really warm in May- not too hot- not too cold. We can also go hiking if you want- I rock climb in a place not too far from Denver. I may not be much of a gymnast but i can climb a rock like a pro.

[Speaker 1] I've gotten a bit out of shape since my Olympic days but I think I could still handle a good hike!  It would probably be good for me to get some high intensity exercise in!  I've been a bit lazy lately and after all that garlic bread and alfredo sauce I'm going to need to do something to burn off some calories!!  What's the highest mountain you've hiked?

[Speaker 2] Oh- I thought you were coming to Colorado for a gymnastics tournament. Are you a participant of a coach now? When you were in the Olympics what was you strong point? I mean did you do floor routine- bars or horse. I think it is called horse-lol- but I know so little about gymnastics so I may be wrong.

[Speaker 1] Floor was always my strong event.  I loved to tumble!  I'm a coach now!  I just tell other people to do the hard work and I stand back and watch!  Which is how I've gotten a little out of shape!  People call the vault a variety of things - horse is one of them!  I've competed on beam and bars too but floor will always have my heart!

[Speaker 2] Haha- yeah I guess with your love of Italian food you probably are better off coaching. And as far as you previous question about the highest mountain I have hikes- I really do not climb high mountains as I rock climb but I have hiked to the top of  Crestone Peak Mountain in Colorado. It took a lot out of me and like you, I am not in as good a shape as I used to be.

[Speaker 1] I bet the view was amazing though!  Do you ever get altitude sickness?  I always hear about that with people who climb up to high points in Colorado!

[Speaker 2] The view was amazing! No I never get altitude sickness- knock on wood- I think because I took so freaking long getting to the top that my body acclimated to the higher altitude. So let me know when you will be coming so I can make plans on meeting up with you. I can hardly wait to see you!

My name is Jo. I love the color yellow.

I like Italian food. My favorite part about Italian food is the garlic bread. I like Chicken Alfredo.

I have never been to Colorado. I might go to Colorado for a tournament. I plan to visit next month in May.

I am not in as good shape as I was in the past. I could use some high intensity exercise.

Floor routines were my strongest. I loved to tumble. I coach gymnastics now. I competed on beam and bars but the floor is my favorite.

I like hiking and rock climbing.

I live in Colorado near Aspen.

[Speaker 1] I booked my flight to Aspen for next month!

[Speaker 2] That's fantastic! Is that for the tournament? How long will you be there?

[Speaker 1] It is, I'm really looking forward to it! I booked the hotel for 5 nights.  Any sites you recommend I visit during the trip?

[Speaker 2] If you like hiking there's lots of great places. I like Crater Lake Trail. It's also good for running. if you don't mind some hills

[Speaker 1] Actually, I love running on hilly terrain! I'm a little worried about the altitude though since I'm quite in the same shape I used to be.  Is it really that much harder running in the mountains?

[Speaker 2] That's a good question. I've always lived here so I guess I'm used to it but if you aren't used to it, it can be rough. Then again, you are in good condition so as long as you pace yourself you probably will be okay.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I probably will need to take it easy.  That'll be hard for me though because I know I'm going to be so amped up from the tournament that it'll be hard to contain that extra energy.

[Speaker 2] if the weather's nice you can go boating on the lake. It's relaxing but it still uses energy for rowing. Too bad it's not ski weather, do you ski?

[Speaker 1] I've never gone skiing before, but it sounds really exciting! Is there a place you recommend?

[Speaker 2] Snowmass is one of the big ones but it gets crowded. I haven't been up there in a while. Maybe you can come back in the winter and we can explore together

[Speaker 1] That might be a better idea.  I'll be busy with the tournament during the day, and I don't know when the slopes close in the evening.  I'll see how I like the area and I can let you know about a winter trip!

[Speaker 2] that sounds good. If you have some time while you're here this time maybe we can meet for coffee (or an energy smoothie!)

My name is Jo. I love the color yellow.

I have never been to Colorado. I plan to visit next month in May. I'm going to Aspen next month for a tournament. I'll be staying for 5 nights. I like running on hilly terrain. I am in good physical condition.

I've never skied before.

I like hiking, running, rock climbing.

I live in Colorado near Aspen. I've lived in Aspen all my life.

I go rock climbing not far from Denver. The highest mountain I've hiked is Crestone Peak Mountain in Colorado. I don't hike very tall mountains.I have never gotten altitude sickness. I enjoy visiting a place called Crater Lake Trail.

I like going boating on a lake. I like skiing at Snowmass.

[Speaker 1] I was watching some skiing videos. It looks like so much fun!

[Speaker 2] Yes, It's fantastic!  You'll really enjoy it once you have a chance to try it!

[Speaker 1] I am very excited about my trip even more so now. With living in Colorado you must get to go all the time. What do prefer more skiing or rock climbing?

[Speaker 2] I like skiing more, but i usually find more time for rock climbing.  Have you ever done rock climbing?

[Speaker 1] I have done indoor rock climbing but never the real thing. It scares me that i might not attach the equipment properly and fall.

[Speaker 2] When you come to Colorado, if you want to try it I can show you the ropes.  You are such a gifted athlete though you'll probably be great at it!

[Speaker 1] Omg that would be fantastic. Thank you so much. This vacation just keeps on getting better. Have you been able to do any rock climbing yourself lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, just last weekend!  I haven't been skiing for a couple of months though.  I'm anxious to get on the slopes again.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice i bet you had a great time. Well maybe you can join me then if your free we can make a day of it some skiing and some rock climbing.

[Speaker 2] Sure! Of course, then you'll probably wind up winning a gold medal in the winter olympics too!

[Speaker 1] Haha I wish, I don't think I will be gold medalist worthy, but we will see.

[Speaker 2] Once an athlete, always an athlete!  You know doubt have the determination at any rate!

My name is Jo. I love the color yellow.

I've never skied before. I like watching skiing videos. I've done indoor rock climbing. I'm a gifted athlete.

I like hiking, running, rock climbing.

[Speaker 1] I decided to start packing for my trip a bit early!

[Speaker 2] What could you possibly be packing this early?

[Speaker 1] For my trip to Colorado! I leave tomorrow morning. Normally I start packing the day of but I'm pretty excited for this trip so I'm packing early.

[Speaker 2] Oh, earlier you said you were going to go in a month. I thought it was weird as it was already May haha. I guess you were just so excited it slipped your mind.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that was a slip of the fingers I suppose. I am excited though. The competition should be good. Do you recommended I do anything while I'm in aspen?

[Speaker 2] Well, there are a lot of things to do here. I can def show you around if you want. We should go skiing. I would hate if you came all this way and left still a non skiier.

[Speaker 1] Can you still ski this late in the season? That would be awesome though! I think I should have a free day to go skiing though.

[Speaker 2] If you go up on the higher mountains, you can still find places that you can ski. It isn't as popular this time of year, and it takes a bit of getting used to the thin air, but it is still fun.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like fun! I'm in good shape so I think I should be able to get used to the air pretty quick.

[Speaker 2] Alright! We will do it then. We could do some rock climbing and check out Crater Lake too. We might be able to squeeze it all into a single afternoon as long as we take lunch with us.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a long day but I will only have the one afternoon before I need to focus on the competition so we will have to do. Now I'm even more excited than I was before!

[Speaker 2] If we leave early enough, and you can be out until dinner time, we can be a bit less hasty. But yeah, it will be lots of fun.

[Speaker 1] Greetings from the big apple, kim here, how are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm fine, how much are your apples?

[Speaker 1] Not for sale! They're looking good in central park though

[Speaker 2] I actually thought you were selling chocolate covered apples

[Speaker 1] Sorry, I live there on central park west, costs as much to park as to live, you?

[Speaker 2] Well, I do not have a car. I just use a bike instead lol

[Speaker 1] I've a beemer, what kind of bike?

[Speaker 2] A roadmaster, how well does yours work?

[Speaker 1] Great, when I can get it out in traffic, are you in school?

[Speaker 2] I go to school from home, on a computer. I use it for exercise

[Speaker 1] I see, live remote with parents? My dad is bank president, so we live in town

[Speaker 2] That is pretty cool, I kind of enjoy being alone

[Speaker 1] I start business school next year to be a banker like parents. I like crowds

[Speaker 2] You can be you and I can be me. I'm practicing my 3rd language

[Speaker 1] I like money too and I want to live in a penthouse when I leave home

[Speaker 2] Penthouses are really nice, I believe you will get there with determination

[Speaker 1] I will, thank you for chatting with me

[Speaker 2] You are very welcome, keep dreaming big and have a nice day

I live in New York City. My name is Kim.

I live on Central Park West. I want to live in a penthouse.

I drive a BMW.

My father is a bank president.

I plan to start business school next year to get into banking. I like crowds.

I attend school virtually from home.

I live alone and enjoy it.

I speak 3 languages.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever enter road races with your bike?

[Speaker 2] I have not. I thought about it but I would need more practice for that. I hear sometimes people race in New York City. I imagine that would be hard with the crowds.

[Speaker 1] I have hear they do some racing here but I have not seen it personally. What type of biking do you do then?

[Speaker 2] I mostly do leisurely biking. I wanted to get the best bike I could since I dont have a car and that would be my only was of getting around, but I love just taking rides for fun.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a great pastimte. I would like to try that, but riding for pleasure does not make a lot of sense to me inside the city. Are there very scenic places that you ride?

[Speaker 2] That is very true. I like to ride in the state park. There are so many bike routes you can take. Since I attend school virtually I have more free time since I don't have to travel.

[Speaker 1] I start business school next year, maybe I can take a nice trip before I start and visit some state parks and enjoy something different for awhile.

[Speaker 2] We can definitely do that. Are you excited about starting school?

[Speaker 1] I am excited, but also a bit nervous. There is a lot to live up to with my dad already being a bank president and all. Business school will take a lot of focus and hard work to be sucessfull.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of pressure. I am confident you can do it. Do you want to follow in your dads footsteps and have a similar career?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure which type of business I want to end up in yet, but I want one that I can be succesfull enough to finally end up in a penthouse with a great view of the city!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is a great goal. I live in an apartment, by myself, but I enjoy the peace that comes with it.  I am not much of a fan of crowds so city life wouldn't be suited for me. I guess you like crowds.

My name is Kim. I live on Central Park West in NYC. I want to live in a penthouse.

I drive a BMW.

My father is a bank president.

I do not own a car. I bike everywhere. My bike is a roadmaster. I bike in the state park.

I attend school virtually from home.

I speak 3 languages.

[Speaker 1] Have you been on any nice trips on your bike lately?

[Speaker 2] I have actually. There is this trail nearby that goes straight to the beach that I decided to try out. It was very scenic, and I felt very relaxing to get away from the more urban parts of my city.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I feel you there. I never get out of the city, but being close to the park at least lets me see some nature. Just too busy to really go anywhere right now.

[Speaker 2] Going to the park can be really fun once in a while. Do you tend to walk or drive to places like that?

[Speaker 1] Well, I live right next to the park, so I can just walk over there. Generally, I drive everywhere else though. I sometimes drive down to the Rockaways for some beach time. What did you do at the beach?

[Speaker 2] I mostly rode around on my bike, the beach was very relaxing and breezy. I then took a bit time of later to eat some food at a local restaurant that sells good seafood.

[Speaker 1] What did you get?

[Speaker 2] I got the shrimp plate, which is grilled shrimp coated in garlic. I also had it with some fried squid as well.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I love squid. I like to get it breaded and fried. I also really like garlic shrimp. How was it?

[Speaker 2] It was really tasty and well worth the money. I normally don't get to eat seafood at my apartment, but I really enjoy the times I get to eat it at a restaurant.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I don't often eat seafood at home, but I love to get it when I'm out too. How has school been going for you?

[Speaker 2] Its been going well, I feel I have gotten accust to studying from home. My computer set up is well suited for online classes, and my internet connection isn't too bad either.

I drive a BMW. I drive almost everyplace I go.

My father is a bank president.

I'm always stuck in the city. I'm close to a park at least. I like to walk to the park and experience nature. I am very busy these days. I like spending time at the beach now and then.

I love eating squid and I like garlic shrimp. I enjoy a good seafood restaurant. I never have seafood at home.

I attend school virtually from home. I have a good computer for remote schooling. I have a fast internet connection.

I speak 3 languages.

I like riding my bike on nature trails down to the beach.  I enjoy taking a break from the urban areas.

I enjoy seafood restaurants. I enjoy shrimp dishes and squid. I don't make seafood at home.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from the park. I needed to clear my head and it really did the trick.

[Speaker 2] I'm really glad to hear that. Being with nature is certainly a calming and refreshing experience.

[Speaker 1] sometimes is great just to step away for a bit and get a new perspective.  And I love the park

[Speaker 2] Definitely. And I assume this is that urban park close to where you live? What do you like best about this park?

[Speaker 1] i like that is always busy but not too crowded.  I can sit down and relax and do some people watching.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's definitely an enjoyable experience. I get to people watch from my apartment window, so I usually just go to parks and trails to walk, not to look at anything in particular.

[Speaker 1] I am looking at getting into biking so I can do that at the park.  How is the roadmaster treating you>?

[Speaker 2] It's an excellent bike. It's a high-quality, top-of-the-line bike that won't break the bank. I highly recommend it.

[Speaker 1] is it easy to maintain and bring up to your apartment. Im worried it might be cumbersome.

[Speaker 2] It's decently easy. It's not the most enjoyable thing in the world to haul a bike up a fight of stairs, but if your place has a bike elevator, it'd make your life far easier.

[Speaker 1] they dont have a bike elevator, and I dont feel safe leaving a bike locked up outside.  Maybe I can find some kind of solution.

[Speaker 2] Hmm...maybe simply renting a bike when you need one is best for you, then. No need to deal with the hassle of owning and maintaining one.

My father is a bank president.

I'm always stuck in the city. I'm close to a park at least. I like people watching at the park. I like to walk to the park and experience nature. I am very busy these days. I like spending time at the beach now and then.

I am getting into biking. My apartments don't have a bike elevator.

I speak 3 languages.

I live in an apartment. I live alone and enjoy it. I like people watching from my windows.

[Speaker 1] I've been doing some prep work before starting business school, there's a lot to read so thought I'd try and get a head start!

[Speaker 2] that's smart. You can also ask your Dad if you have any questions.

[Speaker 1] I will if I get stuck on anything but I'd really like to see if I can do things on my own

[Speaker 2] It's been my experience, that's the best way to learn. It would probably help if you do some of your prep work and reading at the park. Sounds like a good place to relax and focus on the task at hand.

[Speaker 1] That's a really good idea. And I won't be distracted by the tv or anything. How has the bike riding been going?

[Speaker 2] Going great. I took a 10 mile ride yesterday. I was starved when I got home, so I treated myself to some seafood.

[Speaker 1] That's a great treat! What kind did you have?

[Speaker 2] I went to my favorite restaurant and had shrimp and squid. I ordered them fried and they were delicious.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm so jealous. That sounds delicious. I might have to go out and get some seafood tonight for dinner.

[Speaker 2] I think you should. Will you go to your favorite seafood restaurant? The one on the water?

[Speaker 1] I think I'll go there and get some garlic shrimp and onion rings. My mouth is watering already.

[Speaker 2] Skipping the squid? I Bet the onion rings will go great with the garlic shrimp. Not all onion rings are created equal. Have you had them before?


I like to go to country concerts on weekends.

I've two dogs.

My favorite music is country.

I like to work on vintage cars.

My next language to study is french.

One of the languages that I'm currently studying is spanish.

My favorite spanish word is trabajo.

I am a musician.

Keith urban is one of my favorite singers.

I enjoy the company of a poodle and boxer.

I could listen to martina mcbride all day.

I enjoy fiddling with old antique vehicles.

I know multiple tongues.
I take espanol at the local college.
I really like latin languages.
I enjoy music.

[Speaker 1] Hello. What kind of car do you drive?

[Speaker 2] A mazda protege, what do you drive?

[Speaker 1] I drive a classic mustang. I am a mechanic.

[Speaker 2] I study language and music, can you speak french?

[Speaker 1] No, sorry. I can only speak english. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I am allergic to symbiotic connection so I own no animals, do you?

[Speaker 1] I do. Two dogs. They're amazing.

[Speaker 2] What are there names?

[Speaker 1] Dixon and sirius. They're black labs.

[Speaker 2] I used to have a black lab named cooper, are you religious?

[Speaker 1] I'm spiritual, yes. I'm a pagan.

[Speaker 2] Do you practice the left hand path? I do as well.

[Speaker 1] I do baneful workings if the situation calls for it.

[Speaker 2] How has that been going?

I have a classic mustang. I'm a mechanic.

I have two black labs named Dixon and Sirius.

I'm spiritual. I'm a pagan.

I do baneful workings.

I have a Mazda Protege.

I study language and music.

I have no pets. I'm allergic to symbiotic connections. I used to have a black lab named Cooper.

I practice the Left-hand path.

[Speaker 1] How has the language studying been going?

[Speaker 2] It has been going great. I love learning new languages. When I am not learning language's I study music.

[Speaker 1] Dang, you've really got a knack for that type of stuff don't you?  I'm the exact opposite, I don't think I'll ever learn a language... But I can fix your car, haha

[Speaker 2] I wish I could fix my own car. Mechanic skills come in handy when you own one. My Mazda Protege tends to be at the shop a lot. Do you work on your Mustang often?

[Speaker 1] I work on it every weekend! You're welcome to come over sometime and I can teach you some of the basics.  Not everything will look the same as your Mazda, but it'll be similar enough that you can start getting your feet under you.

[Speaker 2] That would be great!  Do your dogs bite? I am not usually a fan of animals.

[Speaker 1] They'll only bite if the don't like you!  Haha, I'm kidding, but I can keep them in the backyard while we work if you don't want to interact with them.  Were you ever afraid of your black lab back when he was around?

[Speaker 2] Not him specifically. Other dogs do scare me. You never know how they are being trained. Peoples beliefs can translate to how they groom their pets to be.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's very true.  Some people don't treat their pets with any respect, so it's not surprising when they lash out.  I promise my dogs are well-trained, but I can still keep them away just in case.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. Thank you for understanding. What is it like to be a Pagen?

[Speaker 1] It's very freeing, I like not being tied down by what others expect of me.  I'm still spiritual, but I don't feel obliged to act ritualistically.

[Speaker 2] That makes a lot of sense. I feel the same about practicing the Left Hand Path. There is nothing more freeing than following your own path and not the ones others try to pave for you.

I'm spiritual. I'm a pagan.

I do baneful workings.

I don't think I'll ever learn another language. I can fix cars.

I have a Mustang.

I have dogs.

My dogs are well trained.

I am a Pagen.

I have a Mazda Protege.

I study language and music.

I practice the Left-hand path.

I love learning new languages. I am also studying music.

I am not usually a fan of animals.

I practise the Left Hand Path.

[Speaker 1] So did you want to come over this weekend and I can show you around an engine? i've been reading more about the left hand path, it's really interesting!

[Speaker 2] I would be happy to come over and learn more about how to fix cars. Its really interesting to hear more about it, I am jealous of those that can repair their own cars.

[Speaker 1] Its not so hard to fix card. The older ones are the best, they don't have all the technology and computers in them. It makes them so much easier. I'm working on the mustang next week if you would like to come over.

[Speaker 2] That would be great. What year is your mustang, and when did you get it. Was it in working order when you first bought it or was it in need of a good repair job?

[Speaker 1] I bought it last year with my Stimulus Money. Its a 1967 fastback. It wasn't running so I got it for real cheap! I plan on painting it fire engine red.

[Speaker 2] Red is a lovely color for a car. I wouldn't mind giving my Mazda a new paint job when I get the chance. Did you have another car before buying your mustang?

[Speaker 1] I did, it was a 2000 Ford Mustang GT-8. Driving it was part of the reason why I wanted to get one of the older ones. I loved it! What color is your Mazda now? I have all the painting stuff, if you want we could paint it soon?

[Speaker 2] My Mazda currently is a blueish grey, it came as it is when I bought it used. I don't think the previous owner painted it before, so I think it would be fine if I gave it a new paint job. Is it hard to paint a vehicle like mine?

[Speaker 1] Not really. Its more time consuming and messy, but it can be kind of fun. What color would you want to paint it? Would you want it more metallic and shiny or just a single standard color?

[Speaker 2] I think a metallic color would be cool for my Mazda, I was thinking something along the lines of an indigo color. Would you recommend a metallic or matte?

[Speaker 1] I think indigo and a metallic shine/finish would look cool! Matte is always so boring to me.

[Speaker 2] Then a metallic indigo sounds good for my Mazda. I have also been considering installing a spoiler to my car, do you have experience doing that kind of installation?

I do not speak French. I only speak English. I don't think I'll ever learn another language.

I'm spiritual. I'm a pagan.

I'm a mechanic. I do baneful workings. I can fix cars. I have a 1967 fastback Mustang. I used to have a 2000 Ford Mustang GT-8. I have the stuff to paint with.

My dogs are well trained.

I know my way around an engine. I have read the 'Left Hand Path'.

I got a stimulus check.

I like metallic colors. I think matte colors are boring.

I study language and music.

I practice the Left-hand path.

I wish I could fix cars. I have a Mazda Protege. I bought a used car that is Blueish Grey. I want a spoiler on my Mazda.

I am not usually a fan of animals.

I practise the Left Hand Path.

[Speaker 1] I just finished reading the sequel to the 'Left Hand Path', I think you would like it. Would you like to borrow it?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I follow the Left-hand path so I would really like to read the sequel. Do you ascribe to the Left Handed path as a pagan?

[Speaker 1] I do my best, but I am not perfect. How directly do you follow it?

[Speaker 2] For me, the left-hand path seeks a "higher law" based on knowledge and power. It is the way of self-empowerment and true freedom, in my opinon. What do you like about it?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy the pursuit of knowledge. Truly knowing what I am following and trusting in that path. Are you learning any new languages at the moment?

[Speaker 2] I am fluent in english, of course, and also spanish and french. I know you're not keen on learning new languages, but is there a reason for that?

[Speaker 1] I feel self-conscience when I talk to a native speaker of that language. I do not want to feel like I am being judged. How do you become fluent and comfortable speaking another language?

[Speaker 2] That's an understandable fear, but I can tell you from personal experience, when you travel, most people really appreciate that you even make the effort to say a few things in their native language. Practice is the key to becoming fluent.

[Speaker 1] I think you're right. I think I need to plan a trip to a country in about six months, and then spend that time studying their language. Maybe if I immerse myself in it, I will not be so nervous.

[Speaker 2] That's a terrific idea, and I think you'll have a lot of fun learning a new language. By the way, how are Dixon and Sirius doing?

[Speaker 1] They are doing great, thank you! I love taking them out and exploring with them. They are really good companions. Do you think you'll get another dog?

[Speaker 2] I really miss my Cooper, he was such a loving companion. I will definitely get a new dog, but he just recently passed so I'm not quite ready. What sort of training did you use with your labs?

I'm spiritual. I'm a pagan.

My dogs are well trained.

I got a stimulus check.

I want to plan a trip abroad.

I study language and music.

I practice the Left-hand path.

I am not usually a fan of animals.

I used to have a black lab. I am scared of other dogs. My dog recently passed away.

I practise the Left Hand Path.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French. I have traveled abroad.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure which country I should travel to.

[Speaker 2] I suggest somewhere in Europe - it's so beautiful and old-world. How about England? London is super cool.

[Speaker 1] That's a great suggestion. Have you been to England before?

[Speaker 2] Yep. I went a few years ago with a group of friends. We bought Britrail passes and went all over the country. London was super cool, and the Lake District in Northwest English is so, so beautiful. You should check it out.

[Speaker 1] Ahhh that sounds amazing. I've heard the country side there is beautiful. Very different to the US. Where else have you travelled?

[Speaker 2] I've been to Amsterdam and Belgium and France. The Eiffel tower is pretty cool. What's really cool is that in most places in Europe, it won't matter that you only speak English because THEY speak English, too.

[Speaker 1] I visited the Netherlands recently and stayed in a place called The Hague. I travelled to Amsterdam for the day but it was sooo busy!

[Speaker 2] Oh cool. When we were in Amsterdam, it was super cold outside. I was wearing sweatpants under my jeans and I was still freezing, lol.

[Speaker 1] Haha you must have been unlucky with the time of year you visited. I sat by the river and ate popsicles. Did you visit any of the "coffee shops"?

[Speaker 2] Haha, no. They're not my cup of tea. We were there in the winter, so yeah, not the greatest timing. It was still beautiful and the old buildings were super cool, though.

[Speaker 1] Did you manage to visit the Anne Frank museum? I went there on my trip. It was so sad but very interesting.

[Speaker 2] We didn't make it there, no. I'd imagine it's a pretty intense place to visit.

[Speaker 2] Haha ok, I have blond short hair. I'm a girl and pretty skinny staying in shape

[Speaker 1] I used to stay in shape helping my dad during his nascar races. Do you watch?

[Speaker 2] No I don't watch, I listen to music and play video games

[Speaker 1] My favorite game is call of duty. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Same here, its an awesome game

[Speaker 1] Totally! I deliver the mail, but sometimes drive crazy.

[Speaker 2] Yeah is that your job that you do?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I deliver the mail. It pays well but the holiday hours are rough.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. I work at an insurance company

[Speaker 1] What kind of insurance? Maybe you can help me.

[Speaker 2] Health insurance helping old folks with their policy

[Speaker 1] I need new car insurance. My favorite grey car was hit.

I do not watch NASCAR. I like to listen to music. I like to play Call of Duty.

[Speaker 1] I am searching for a new car since my old was in an accident, and think I found a new one - a gray SUV.

[Speaker 2] Have you been able to test drive it yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it has a lot of different features.  Cruise control, heated seats, lane assist to name a few.  I think I am going to get it. Have you played any Call of Duty?

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice! I hope it works out so you can get it. Yes, I have been playing Call of Duty a few times a week, but I have been too tired from work to play too much.

[Speaker 1] Oh, are a lot of people looking for health insurance?

[Speaker 2] There are, but I have received an uptick in calls from people with questions about their health insurance. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Understanding all the policy changes can be confusing. I have been delivering a great deal of packages, so I am getting my exercise.  I like being busy, makes the day go faster.

[Speaker 2] I agree! Do you have a walking route or driving route?

[Speaker 1] I have a driving route but I get plenty of walking in going back and forth to the doors for the packages.  Have you heard any good music lately?

[Speaker 2] I've heard a couple new songs on Spotify, I like to have a mix going throughout my day. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I also have a playlist on Spotify..  I love listening while on my routes.  It keeps me energetic and upbeat. I listen to gospel music.  What type of music do you like?

I like Indie music.

[Speaker 1] I bought the car I was looking at.

[Speaker 2] Great which one did you decide on?

[Speaker 1] it is Mercedes , what do you think about Mercedes?

[Speaker 2] They are very good looking cars!  But I don't think I could spend that much on a car.  Did you insurance go up?

[Speaker 1] no it is the same , I know that it is expensive but is deserve .

[Speaker 2] Definitely you work hard!  Played any call of duty lately?

[Speaker 1] yes the last week , what about going out with my new car and play it together?

[Speaker 2] Next time I'm up north its a deal!  I've used up my vacation for the next six months.

[Speaker 1] no problem i'm gonna wait you ,what kind of cars is your favourite?

[Speaker 2] I have a convertible volkswagen but that I love, its yellow!

[Speaker 1] great , my one is blue.

[Speaker 2] Did you get the mercedes suv or the sedan?

I like to play Call of Duty.

I like Indie music.

A Mercedes is out of my budget. I have a car: A convertible volkswagen.

[Speaker 1] I just lost an easy battle on Call of Duty, any tips you can offer ?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, it is normal to lose here and there especially if you are not completely focused on the game.

[Speaker 1] I know, I had a few distractions while I was playing, I'll have to limit those next time. How is work going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well but very busy. I feel like the phone is attached to my ear at this point. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] It is very busy. With all of the online shopping people do now, I feel like it never ends. It makes the day go by fast, though, so that is good.

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet, I know my online shopping has really increased lately. The holidays must have been a crazy time for you. Have you listened to any new music while you are at work?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I like to listen to new artists on Spotify while I work. I like indie music and unknown musicians. What do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 2] I like indie music as well as rock. I hope to go to some concerts over the summer. Do you like your new Mercedes?

[Speaker 1] I really do, but I am really nervous about it getting scratched or dinged. I usually park far away when I go someplace. Do you enjoy your convertible? I've always wanted one of those.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love it! Especially in the warmer months. I would definitely recommend getting a convertible if you are thinking abou tit

[Speaker 1] Maybe in a few years, once I get some miles on the Mercedes. I will definitely look into it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, your dad might have recommendations to since he is so heavy into cars.

I like to play Call of Duty.

I am looking for new car insurance. I used to have a gray car. I bought a new Mercedes. I have car insurance, My car is blue. I worry about my car getting damaged. I have always wanted a convertible.

[Speaker 2] Are you getting a lot better? We should play sometime soon. I might have some time next weekend.

[Speaker 1] I'm in. That would be fun, because I am getting excellent at it. Do you play it while at work?

[Speaker 2] No I’m too busy on the phone at my job. It would be fun though. How’s mail delivery going? Keeping you pretty busy?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I usually have fun moving around. It's a job that's kind of a hobby for me. Which year is your Volkswagen?

[Speaker 2] It’s a 2012. It has a lot of miles on it already. How are you liking your car?

[Speaker 1] That's not old. I just love Mercedes. It's so convenient for me, and I like how comfortable its interior is. It is an E-class 2020 model.

[Speaker 2] Nice that is a really good looking car. You should send me a picture of it sometimes.

[Speaker 1] I'll surely do. I wanted to get myself a Maybach, but then it was way out of my budget. Btw, does one have to do Actuarial Science in order to work at an insurance firm?

[Speaker 2] It is definitely helpful but not required. It depends on the job. A lot of it is talking and going over policies with people. A lot of talking. I like it though.

[Speaker 1] It must have made you perfect at public relations. I hope you give people comprehensive information in order for the to make informed decisions :)

[Speaker 2] Yeah I’m not the type of person to take advantage of anyone. I know it might hurt my sales but I would feel terrible selling people unnecessary policies.


I have a weakness for fish and chips.

I love to cook paella.

I visit europe twice a year.

I am a descendant of christopher columbus.

I am an art major in college.

One of the languages that I am currently studying is spanish.

My next language to study is french.

My favorite spanish word is trabajo.

I'm a musician.

Fried foods are my guilty pleasure.

I'm a gourmet chef.

Every six months I take a sabbatical across the pond.

I'm related to a founder of the us.

I'm studying to be an artist.

I take espanol at the local college.
I know multiple tongues.
I really like latin languages.
I enjoy music.

[Speaker 1] Hey. You want to go out sometime? I cannot resist fish and chips!

[Speaker 2] Greetings, I like fish, not chips, what is your trabajo? Work

[Speaker 1] I am a college student. Art major.

[Speaker 2] I am unable to go out, too busy studying, lots on my plate, art? I like music

[Speaker 1] Cool. Speaking of plates, I do love making paella

[Speaker 2] Who is your favorite artist? Mine is wagner, do you speak espanol? Love paella!

[Speaker 1] No spanish. Which is surprising for a descendant of christopher columbus!

[Speaker 2] You love food! All I do is study, spanish now, french next, in between music

[Speaker 1] I try to visit europe twice yearly. You should come with me then!

[Speaker 2] No time for travel. I hate flying, could we go on a boat?

[Speaker 1] I wish I could. I will have sea sickness if I did.

[Speaker 2] I could study, listen to music and go to europe, you could eat. Lol

[Speaker 1] I like where your mind is going!

[Speaker 2] Take medicine, sounds fun, let us go? You pay, okay?

I like eating fish and chips. I like making paella.

I am a college student majoring in art.

I don't speak Spanish. I am a descendent of Christopher Colombus. I try to visit Europe twice a year.

I get sea sickness.

I like eating fish but not chips.

I like music. I am a student. I study french and music.

I don't like flying.

[Speaker 1] What type of music do you like listening to?

[Speaker 2] I like Tool the band that is my favorite by far. I consider them to be a genre all on their own kind of hard to put them into a category.

[Speaker 1] Ah cool. Yeah it's always hard for me to classify the genre of artists. If it isn't clearly pop or rap I usually just call it "alternative" haha. So do you play any instruments?

[Speaker 2] No sadly I don't play any, I had fiddled around playing an electric guitar for a few months but I never stayed interested enough in it to keep at it. How about you? Do you play any instruments?

[Speaker 1] Ah, so do you mostly study music theory in school? Or do you sing? I don't play anything, I learned piano for a few years when I was a kid but was terrible at it haha

[Speaker 2] I don't sing or play any music at all, just like you. You're related to Christopher Columbus? That's actually really cool how did you find that out? I've never had a genealogy report before.

[Speaker 1] I found out from my parents, I never got a formal report but stories got carried down the generations. It'd be cool to do one of those though, see if there are any other mystery relatives I have

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's something you should get done. I want to get one done too, it could be very exciting finding out your ancestor was someone very famous who changed the world. It could turn out though to be pretty boring. That's probably what would happen for me, I'd be related to nobodies. You mentioned you liked making Paella what is that?

[Speaker 1] Haha well you never know! Paella is a spanish dish, mainly in Valencia. It has rice and usually seafood. I fell in love with it when I went to Spain and decided to learn how to make it. Do you cook much?

[Speaker 2] No I don't do much cooking, I am a TV dinner kind of guy. It's too easy for me to pop something in the oven and come back 40 minutes later and chow down so I don't do much cooking. Do you like cooking things other than paella?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense, I'm definitely like that with some things where it's just easier to get it done with. I go through phases where I get obsessed with cooking certain things, so right now it's mainly paella, but recently I was trying out different pizza doughs

[Speaker 2] I didn't even know there was different kind of pizza doughs, can you explain some of the different types? I am curious now.

I am a college student majoring in art. I played piano as a child.

I get sea sickness.

I like eating fish but not chips.

I don't like flying.

I like the band Tool. I don't play any instruments. I don't sing.

I don't cook much.

[Speaker 1] Could you teach me some phrases in Spanish?

[Speaker 2] Of course! Would you like to start with some basic phrases?

[Speaker 1] I would love to know how to say some things related to food for the next time I visit Spain.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea! How about... "Va a ser un refresco y dos tacos." Can you guess what that means?

[Speaker 1] Hmm, something like I would like a drink and two tacos? I'm really bad with language learning.

[Speaker 2] That's right! You'll pick up the language in no time. When's your next holiday to Spain?

[Speaker 1] Is it hard knowing/learning two languages like you are? I hope to visit again in the summer depending on airfare and family obligations.

[Speaker 2] It can be hard, but if you practice a little every day, you'll soon start recognising words and phrases. It's all about becoming comfortable with the language. That sounds good - where in Spain do you want to visit next?

[Speaker 1] We have family in Barcelona, it's crazy seeing my extended family.  I've always wanted to go to Seville or Madrid though!

[Speaker 2] I bet! I visited Seville a couple of years ago - it's fantastic, and the food is so tasty there!

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear, I guess that means I have to go now!

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! There's lots to do there - some great architecture and lots to visit. And it'll be a great chance to practice your Spanish!

I get sea sickness.

I like eating fish and chips. I have visited Spain. I like cooking, especially Paella. I have tried cooking different pizza doughs. I will be visiting Spain in the future, hopefully over the summer. I want to learn Spanish, especially food-related words. Language learning is not easy for me.

I like eating fish but not chips.

I speak Spanish. My favorite artist is Wagner. I teach Spanish.

I don't like flying.

I don't cook much.

[Speaker 1] I'm trying to decide between visiting Seville or Madrid when I go to Spain, and it's not easy!

[Speaker 2] i have been to madrid and it is really cool but i think seville is more beautiful

[Speaker 1] So which one would you actually recommend if I could only go to one?

[Speaker 2] if i had to decide i'd pick seville its a better place to relax

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun.  I'll have other chances in the future to visit Madrid, too, so I think I'll go to Seville.  I'll have to see if my relatives from Barcelona want to meet me there.

[Speaker 2] oh wow you have relatives in barcelona? i would reccomend visiting it is my favourite place in spain

[Speaker 1] Yes, I visited them in their home before.  Barcelona is definitely an amazing city.  But I'd prefer to see something different, although I shouldn't visit Spain without seeing my relatives, too.  I assume you saw the Sagrada Familia?  What did you think of it?

[Speaker 2] its an incredible building it will be amazing to see it when it is completed

[Speaker 1] Yes, I find it amazing that it's been in construction for over 100 years.  That sort of boggles my mind.

[Speaker 2] its very close to completion now! it is mind boggling

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think I will have to return to Barcelona when it's finished.  Maybe you can join me by then!

[Speaker 2] that would be really fun, its a date!

I get sea sickness.

I have relatives who live in Barcelona. I'd like to visit Seville or Madrid. I have family obligations to deal with. I have visited family in Barcelona before.

[Speaker 1] Haha I really should know it by now. Do you think I could get copies of your lessons to help me out?

[Speaker 2] Sure, and I could make it cooking related. Have you had success with your pizza dough?

[Speaker 1] Perfect. The pizza has been rather tasty lately. I'd love to have you over in exchange for your Spanish help.

[Speaker 2] Well I can help you. What do you need help on?

[Speaker 1] Mainly verb conjugation. I just can't seem to get it.

[Speaker 2] Have you tried asking your family for help?

[Speaker 1] I have but they're not much help. Sometimes it sure seems hopeless trying to learn this language.

[Speaker 2] I understand, do you play an instrument?

[Speaker 1] Old enough to work in the construction field. You?

[Speaker 2] I am 68, been retired for a few years now.

[Speaker 1] Great. What did you work and retire from?

[Speaker 2] I was a tailor. These days I spend a lot of time at the casino

[Speaker 1] Ahh. My father taught me everything I know but not how to gamble.

[Speaker 2] Its probably for the best. I also enjoy mowing the lawn on a beautiful day

[Speaker 1] Do you have a pet cat or dog?

[Speaker 2] No not anymore. Do you?

[Speaker 1] I've 5 cats that I love like humans

[Speaker 2] Animals are better friends than humans.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes and they're always happy to see you come in the door.

[Speaker 2] It such a nice day today, thinking about starting the grill

I am a cat lover. I have 5 cats.

I work in construction. I am old enough to have a job.

I don't know how to gamble.

I am retired.

I go to casinos often. I used to be a tailor.

I like to mow the lawn.

I used to have a pet.

I know how to grill.

[Speaker 1] My cat did the funniest thing yesterday! She ran into the wall playing with a laser.

[Speaker 2] Awe!  I hope she was okay!  Sometimes I miss having a pet!  I'm not sure I could handle taking care of 5 of them though!  I don't know how you do it!

[Speaker 1] It sure is hard work! What kind of pet did you have before?

[Speaker 2] I had a dog.  I've never had a cat before.  Have you ever had a dog?

[Speaker 1] Aw what was his/her name? No i've never had a dog before!

[Speaker 2] Her name was Zoey.  What makes you like cats so much?

[Speaker 1] That's a lovely name! I like that they are independent, means i can spend all day at the construction yard if i have to. What did you do before retiring?

[Speaker 2] I was a tailor.   I worked for a bridal shop altering dresses for weddings.  You should see some of the amazing dresses I've seen!  Now I just spend my days at the casino!  That's why I haven't gotten another dog!  My tailor job was so flexible I could work when I wanted to as long as I got the dresses done in time so I'd always be home to feed and let Zoey out!

[Speaker 1] Oh yes that's right. I'd love to see some of the dresses i bet they were amazing! Have you considered getting a cat? You could still go to the casino and he/she would be fine on their own for a bit?

[Speaker 2] I thought about it.  I've just never had a cat so I don't know much about taking care of them.  I've heard they scratch up furniture.  Is that true?

[Speaker 1] Well yes i suppose they do but they can be taught not to as they get older, lots of people keep them outside in catteries, that could be an option. At least you could grill without worrying about a cat burglar nicking your sausages.

[Speaker 2] That is true!  Although Zoey was so small she couldn't get up to the grill!  I'm partial to tiny dogs!  What is a cattery?

I work in construction.

I don't know how to gamble.

I've never had a dog before. I like cats because they are independent.

I am retired.

I like to mow the lawn.

I know how to grill.

I miss having a pet sometimes. I used to have a dog named Zoey. I thought about getting a cat but I've never had one before. I'm unsure about taking care of them. I am partial to tiny dogs.

I was a tailor before I retired. I worked for a bridal shop. I now spend my days at the casino.

[Speaker 1] Looks like I will have to work overtime next week. I need to find someone to come play with my cats in the middle of the day so they don't get too bored.

[Speaker 2] Oh I can come over and play with them.

[Speaker 1] i think it is a great idea but are you interested in doing that ?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure if you teach me I can do it.

[Speaker 1] ok , it will be on Saturday , what about meeting on Friday and teaching you !

[Speaker 2] sounds great! I can't wait to see you.

[Speaker 1] me too ,I think it will be a funny day and you will love my cats very much as you loved Zoey.

[Speaker 2] Cool. Around what time are you free?

[Speaker 1] what about meeting at 6:00 PM , it will be after finishing my work.

[Speaker 2] Are you sure? Won't you be tired after your work. I'm sure its physically draining.

[Speaker 1] no don't worry about that , I used to do shopping and meet my friends after work, then I pay with cats .

[Speaker 2] Oh okay. I can make some food for dinner. I love to cook.

I work in construction. I sometimes work overtime.

I don't know how to gamble.

I plan to give a cat sitting lesson to the other speaker on Friday. I finish work before 6pm on Fridays.

I am retired.

I like to mow the lawn.

I know how to grill.

I love to cook.

[Speaker 1] Any big winnings at the casino so far this week?

[Speaker 2] Yes!  I won over $1,500 this week at the blackjack table!  It's my favorite game.

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness!! Is that your biggest win?

[Speaker 2] Not quite, but it's definitely in the top 5.  I was thinking of taking some of it and donating it to the animal shelter.  What do you think?

[Speaker 1] Awe I love the ASPCA. I got my last kitty from the local shelter. That's so nice of you.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking that I could look at the animals when I go in.  I'm so lonely sometimes that I might be ready to get another pet.  I still can't decide if I want a cat or another little dog though.  After Zoey passed away, it was so difficult.

[Speaker 1] A kitty might be fresh change after the loss of Zoey. I have found cats easier than dogs to care for. You should get another pet for companionship. Do you plan on going in soon t the shelter?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I was thinking I would go tomorrow.  If I don't, there's too much of a chance I'll end up back at the casino.

[Speaker 1] Well then get right into the shelter for a donation and hopefully an adoption lol. It could really lift your spirits. Any plans for dinner tonight?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking lasagna.  Italian is always my favorite thing to cook.  What about you?

[Speaker 1] I was actually going to try grilling and was going to ask for some tips. I am thinking grilled chicken should be easy, right?

[Speaker 2] It's pretty easy.  Do you have a gas or charcoal grill?  I usually work with a gas grill.  Make sure to marinade the chicken for a while first, that way the flavor soaks in.  I also like to put the seasoning on right when the meat hits the grill.  It really builds up the flavor profile.

I am a cat lover. I have 5 cats. I have a female cat. I got my kitty from the local shelter.

I don't know how to gamble.

I love the ASPCA.

I want to try grilling.

I am retired.

I like to mow the lawn.

I know how to grill.

I miss having a pet sometimes. I used to have a dog named Zoey. she passed away. I thought about getting a cat but I've never had one before. I'm unsure about taking care of them. I am partial to tiny dogs.

I love to cook.

I won over $1,500 this week at the blackjack table. It's my favorite game. it's in the top 5 of my biggest winnings.

Tomorrow I would go to the shelter.

Italian is always my favorite thing to cook. I know how to grill. I usually work with a gas grill.

[Speaker 1] So do you have your favorite recipe of meat marinade? Could you share it with me, please?

[Speaker 2] Recently I've been experimenting with a new one made from pomegranate seeds. Does that sound appealing to you?

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's so innovative! How does that recipe go?

[Speaker 2] Honestly it's really complex but I can send it to you. It's better if you have some experience cooking. Do you?

[Speaker 1] I'm a bit of an amateur, but I'm willing to learn. What inspired you to use pomegranate seeds?

[Speaker 2] I just love the color of them and the taste of course. But mostly, I think they're beautiful. Cooking is like an art.

[Speaker 1] I wish I thought of cooking like that. Maybe in time. Did you start to learn as a kid?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I actually started just a few years ago when I found myself with some free time. It can really be a nice hobby once you get down the basics.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you can really "get in the zone" with it if there's no distractions around. Are there particular meats your marinade pairs well with, by the way?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, it can even be meditative. I'd say it pairs well with anything but especially steak and chicken. It depends on your tastes as well. What is your favorite type of meat?

[Speaker 1] I like chicken and lamb, but beef can be alright depending on how it's prepared. So should I give you my email for the recipe, then?

[Speaker 2] Try it with chicken then. It's easier to prepare that way as well. I can just send you the link to the recipe if that works for you.

[Speaker 1] I have a piranha. I was just feeding him pieces of my ex boyfriend.

[Speaker 2] Lol! You are funny! I fed myself pieces of hamburger and fries!

[Speaker 1] Hamburgers are the best! I had one yesterday for my 18th.

[Speaker 2] Hope it was especially yummy for you! And happy belated birthday!

[Speaker 1] My boyfriend used to gaze at other

[Speaker 2] Yes! My boyfriend and I went on one last weekend and we have a hike planned for this weekend!

[Speaker 1] Where did you go and and are you going to the same place again this weekend?

[Speaker 2] We went to this place called turning point near us, it was beautiful! Our hike for this weekend is planned for a place about an hour from us. Have you been on any hikes recently?

[Speaker 1] I was planning one for this weekend at a local state park.  It has some waterfalls that suppose to be amazing.  I am excited to go and spend some time on me.  A late birthday present for myself.

[Speaker 2] That sounds so beautiful and relaxing. Yes you deserve it! How was your birthday, happy belated by the way!

[Speaker 1] Thank you.  It was good.  I got to spend some time with family and a few friends that I have not seen in awhile.  We went to a great burger place.  It was awesome.  The hamburger had a fried egg on it.  Have you ever had one with egg?

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that sounds unreal. No I haven't but now i'm gonna have to get one this weekend! I'm glad you had a good birthday though.

[Speaker 1] Yes, you should.  I was unsure at first but when I bit into it, it was really good.  What other plans do you have for this weekend?

[Speaker 2] Yummy! We're planning on getting a nice bite to eat after our hike so I'm defiantly suggesting a place that has a burger like that! Other than that no other plans. How about yourself?

[Speaker 1] Just want to relax and enjoy the beauty of outdoors. We both sound like we have great weekends planned.  We should get together one weekend and do a hike.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, I would love that! Do you know if you are free for next weekend?

I have a piranha fish.

My boyfriend and I broke up.

My birthday was yesterday. My Birthday was good. I like burgers.

I like hikes.I am planning to go for a hike this weekend.

I like to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

I like hamburgers and fries.

I like nature walks.

[Speaker 1] My ex boyfriend tried to take my piranha while I went for a hike. The fish bit him.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh, how did your ex boyfriend enter your place? Is he okay?

[Speaker 1] He still had a key. I made him give it back!!! He was smart enough to wear gloves so he didn't get hurt. I'm just glad he didn't hurt the fish! I took the key back and am changing the locks.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad he didn't get hurt but that is so crazy! I'm glad you're changing the locks. Aside from that, how was your hike? Where'd you go hiking?

[Speaker 1] I went in a park near me on Staten Island, High Rock Park. It has lots of trails and a nature preserve. Where are you going to hike this weekend?

[Speaker 2] We're planning on going to a place about an hour away up north. It's about an hour drive from here but the trails there are incredible. How long were the trails? I'm looking at doing something that has some climbing nearby as well.

[Speaker 1] Took my friend and me about 2 hours to hike this one but we were going slow at some points. It was a nice hike.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! Not too long at all. What was the view at high rock park like? Are there tables and observation areas where you can have a picnic?

I have a piranha fish.

My boyfriend and I broke up.

I like hikes. I like to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

I am changing the locks to my place.

I went to near me on Staten Island called High Rock Park with my friend for two hours.

I like hamburgers and fries.

I like nature walks.

I have a boyfriend. We go on hikes. We hiked at turning point last weekend. We are hiking this weekend at a place about an hour away from us. I am also looking for a place to climb nearby.

[Speaker 1] Have you found a place to climb?

[Speaker 2] We've actually had to cancel our trip because my boyfriend got really sick.  I'm so bummed about it.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you rescheduled it for another time?

[Speaker 2] Not yet.  I figure I'm going to spend the weekend nursing him back to health, and then we'll worry about hiking and climbing when he's better.  Are you actively looking for a new boyfriend right now?  Or are you staying single for a while?

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. I'm probably going to stay single for a while. I don't want to get into another relationship after having just gotten out of one.

[Speaker 2] Yes, and it sounds like it ended badly.  Sometimes it's good to say independent for a while and figure out what you really want.  I had a really bad breakup before my current boyfriend and I spent some time finding myself and then my new boyfriend came along when I wasn't even looking.

[Speaker 1] Haha, maybe that'll be my experience as well. I'm just going to stay out of it, and if someone comes along, great! If nobody comes along, then I don't mind being single for a little while longer either.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good plan.  How long have you had a piranha, by the way?  That's a very unique pet!

[Speaker 1] I've had it for about a year, which is also about as long as I've been single for. Guess I needed something to keep me company.

[Speaker 2] You didn't want to get something more cuddly?!  I have a cat.  She causes me some trouble but she's also very warm at times.

[Speaker 1] Cats are cuddly, but I'm afraid it'll scratch me to death. Piranhas are vicious, sure, but as long as I don't dip my hand into the water, it won't do anything to me.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's true.  What do you feed it?

I have a piranha fish. I've had him for a year.

My boyfriend and I broke up. I'm single. I don't want a relationship right now.

I am changing the locks to my place.

I'm afraid of cats.

I like hamburgers and fries.

I like nature walks.

My boyfriend is sick.

I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] How is your boyfriend doing? Is he feeling any better?

[Speaker 2] He's doing worse than he was.  I'm thinking of taking him to the hospital.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! What are his symptoms now?

[Speaker 2] he's been having trouble breathing and he has little to no energy, plus a really bad headache and cough.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should take him to the hospital. I have asthma, so I know what it's like not to be able to breathe properly. Is he running a fever?

[Speaker 2] yes, he's running a very high fever too.  I'm really worried about him.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine. My ex boyfriend came down with a nasty case of shouldhavebrokenupwithmeitis. He was in the hospital for days.

[Speaker 2] ha! Are you still not looking for a relationship?

[Speaker 1] I've been on Tinder on and off. I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Where did you meet your boyfriend?

[Speaker 2] we met on Tinder actually.  Neither of us were really looking for a relationship, but we ended up being friends for a while and here we are.

[Speaker 1] Wish you could swipe left on that illness of his! Ha ha ha. Anyway, I hope he didn't die while we were talking.

[Speaker 2] thankfully he hasn't died haha, but I'll be leaving to take him to the hospital in a few minutes.

[Speaker 1] I know right!? I enjoy running early in the morning as well. How far do you usually run?

[Speaker 2] I usually run until I can feel the sweat run down my back or I just miss my cat and wanna play with her again.

[Speaker 1] Hm, for me that would not be very far, but I sweat a lot. How old is your cat?

[Speaker 2] My cat is sweet 16. She is so pretty with her gray hairs.

[Speaker 1] Wow! She has been around for a long time. Have you had her for her whole life?

[Speaker 2] She has been around since I was young but not my whole life. But I have been around for her whole life though. I hope I can be a great parent for her.

I would rather run than drive. Running clears my mind. I run in the mornings. I sweat a lot.

I love the song Brandy by Looking Glass.

My family does not like my job. I like watches and shoes. I want to work for a watch dealer.

I like to run. I like fresh air. Running helps me with depression. I like running when it is cold and misty.

My cat is called Brandy. My cat is named after the song Brandy by Looking Glass. My cat is 16. I have had my cat since I was young.

[Speaker 1] I would love to see a picture of your cat if you have one to hand?

[Speaker 2] I don’t have one right now.  I lost my phone when I was shoe shopping last week.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, do you think it was stolen?

[Speaker 2] I think it fell out of my purse at some point.  I’m so mad, my running place list was on it too.  I’ll have to make a new playlist.  Do you have any song recommendations? What do you like to listen to when you run?

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that! Oh yes, I have to listen to music when I'm running - it really gets me in the zone! I know I recommended my favourite song, Brandy by Looking Glass, to you in the past, but I love any uptempo rock songs when I'm running! What about you?

[Speaker 2] I have a few other songs by looking glass that I like. I also like upbeat songs for running, but sometimes I really want to distract my mind and listen to audiobooks.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I know what you mean - I like listening to audiobooks too. I'm currently listening to a Terry Pratchett one - what about you?

[Speaker 2] The last book I listened to was the Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy.

[Speaker 1] That's a great one, I read that when I was younger - it's really funny! Did you enjoy it?

[Speaker 2] Yes! But for my next book I think I’ll listen to something in the self help genre.  I was thinking something to help me cope with my depression.

[Speaker 1] That's a really good idea - there's a lot of useful audiobooks available that I think would be really beneficial.

[Speaker 2] I’ve been thinking about becoming a vegetarian to help my health and maybe improve my running.  Do you have any advice on getting started with a vegetarian diet?

My favorite song is Brandy by Looking Glass. I love uptempo rock songs while running.

I am listening to a Terry Pratchett audiobook. I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when I was younger.

I lost my phone.

I like upbeat songs for running. I listen to audiobooks. I listened to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy audiobook.

I want to become a vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] Did you get a new phone? Have you looked into vegetarianism more? How is your cat?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I am picking up my new phone later today. Yeah I have I'm just not 100% sure if its for me so im just going to gradually stop eating certain things. My cat is not doing so well, I think she may pass soon.

[Speaker 1] Bless your cat, I appreciate you telling me. Also, I understand about gradually changing, and I think that worked for me too.

[Speaker 2] She has had a great life and will be extremely missed but i hate seeing her in pain. Yeah it really is a massive leap so I think I will make up a plan of what and when I will stop consuming certain things.

[Speaker 1] For me, it was a spiritual choice I think, to not eat animals. So, I started with beef, and kept chicken and fish for awhile. I like dairy though, and I need cheese sometimes. I appreciate the love you have with that pet. Sounds like they are loved.

[Speaker 2] See for me I hate the thought of animals being killed for me to eat and then the devil side of me is like but it tastes so good. So i am in an internal battle with myself.

[Speaker 1] Your feelings make sense. I struggle too. And after a few years, you get used to it. And then when you do eat it, your stomach is like what is this? grumble! I do feel healthier. That too.

[Speaker 2] Yeah a lot of people do say that they feel so much healthier and that is one of other reasons i want to do it. Especially now when then do so many non-meat items that are plant based.

[Speaker 1] I think it has to be realistic too. Otherwise I don't stick to the plan. I slip too sometimes. I hope your kitty is comfortable, I'll be thinking about them.

[Speaker 2] Yeah i will get there in the end. And thank you she is on pain killers but think she will go back to the vets in a few days.

[Speaker 1] One day at a time, with that kind of work. And grieving too. I need to take a break between pets. And my last pet had an expensive, protracted dying process, and I've taken a break since then. Looking forward to a pet again some day.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it really does take a toll. They are part of the family, it will be very strange without her around my i won't be getting another one for a long time.

My family does not understand me being vegetarian. I stopped eating animal products for spiritual reasons. I still eat dairy and cheese. I feel healthier since becoming a vegetarian.

My last pet had an expensive end-of-life. I am taking a break from owning pets.

I lost my phone. I am getting a new phone today.

I am reducing the amount of animal products I eat. One reason why I want to become a vegetarian is because I want to feel healthier.

My cat is on pain medication. My cat is a female. When my cat passes, I will wait a long time before getting another pet.

[Speaker 1] How is your cat doing today? Has she had any more appointments?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. So far, the pain medication is helping.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear that! I miss my cat. Have you been running recently?

[Speaker 2] Actually, yes. Just went for a run this  morning. It definitely helped lift my spirits. Being worried about Brandy and her age has taken its toll on me.

[Speaker 1] I understand that quite personally myself. I really like your cat's name! That happens to be my favorite song.

[Speaker 2] Looking Glass is a great band! Did you hear they were releasing a new album?

[Speaker 1] I did not know that, I'll be excited to hear it when it's released. Do you play them for Brandy, your cat?

[Speaker 2] I play them all the time. Poor cat, she has to listen whether she wants to or not. It doesn't seem to bother her, but I believe she prefers the audio books.

[Speaker 1] My cat used to be the same way. Maybe the audio books help ease her pain? Gives her something to get her mind off things.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I think its the tone of the reader's voice. Their tone is typically soothing. Its like a form of meditation for her.

[Speaker 1] So although we think Looking Glass is amazing, Brandy might not find their voices to be all that soothing. Especially with the rest of the band.

[Speaker 2] Maybe I should start wearing my headphones more often? give Brandy a break. I don't want anything upsetting her.
