[Speaker 1] I am good I like people I volunteer to help local shelters

[Speaker 2] That's nice of you. I deliver babies so I am a doctor.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is a good profession must make alot of money

[Speaker 2] It is a comfortable living. I like spending time with family.

[Speaker 1] That is cool I don't have family these days

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that. We used to go to disneyland together.

[Speaker 1] I have never been there but saw the commercials before

[Speaker 2] It is alot of fun my favorite character is mickey mouse.

[Speaker 1] I like goofy he is pretty cool

[Speaker 2] I like him also he is a trip.

[Speaker 1] What do you have planned today? I've to volunteer again tonight

[Speaker 2] No alot just spending time with my kids. That's nice to volunteer.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is cool I started a new show on netflix

[Speaker 2] I like to read books also.

I work as an Indie wrestler.

I enjoy my fellow humans. I have, and currently do, volunteer at local shelters.

I started watching a new Netflix show.

I enjoy walking.

I deliver babies in my capacity as a doctor. I make enough money to live comfortably. I enjoy spending time with my family outside of work.

I used to visit Disneyland with my family. Mickey Mouse is my favorite character when visiting. Goofy is also a Disney character I enjoy.

I have kids.

[Speaker 1] How was time with your kids?  Were you able to read after?

[Speaker 2] Yes I was. It was a peaceful reading. What Netflix show did you end up starting?

[Speaker 1] I've been watching this show called "Shameless". It's about a dysfunctional family headed up by a degenerate drunk named Frank, and it chronicles their hustles, scandalous behavior, and struggle to survive. Have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] Haha yes! I saw it many years ago when it first came out and never finished it. It is super crazy and I can never get over how there is always something going on with that family.

[Speaker 1] That Gallagher family sure is nuts! It's a pretty edgy show with a lot of bad language, sexual situations, and alcohol abuse. Are your kids old enough to watch it?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, and even if they were I would not want them to. It made me even feel some type of way so I could only imagine their little minds trying to figure out what is going on. Do you have any plans this weekend?

[Speaker 1] How old are they? I bet they think it's super cool that their parent is a doctor! I'll be volunteering at the shelter all day Saturday, and I have a daytime wrestling match on Sunday.

[Speaker 2] 2, 10, & 13. They are a good age but still need to be protected from crazy shows like that haha That sounds like a pretty interesting weekend. Maybe we can stop by the shelter.

[Speaker 1] I'd rather see you guys after work. I'd love to watch some Disney movies if you're up for that.

[Speaker 2] I am, and I am sure the kids would love to see you again. Maybe next time we can stop by and help as well. I know the older ones are interested in volunteering.

[Speaker 1] Your 13 year old kid is old enough to volunteer. We'd love the extra help!

[Speaker 2] I will let her know so she can get ready for that day. Maybe this summer when school is out. Then we can save and all go to Disneyland!

I work as an Indie wrestler. I have a match this Sunday.

I have never visited Disneyland. Goofy is my favorite Disney character. I started watching a new Netflix show.

I enjoy walking.

I read books as a form of entertainment. I have seen "Shameless".

[Speaker 1] Our shelter just got new animals in.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is cool, sad, but cool. I wish all animals could have homes. But it is always fun to meet new ones I guess. Tell me about them.

[Speaker 1] We got a tabby named Cabigail, and a litter of whippet puppies. Their eyes are just starting to open. I'm adopting one, his name is Marky Mark, I plan on putting him in races when he's grown. How is your medical practice doing?

[Speaker 2] Same as always. Nobody delivering babies today. It is a nice reprieve. I need a vacation soon, I get tired of always having to catch babies after a few months.

[Speaker 1] They sure do come out slippery! You almost need to put chalk on your hands to get a grip on a newborn. Are you going to take the family to disneyland again?

[Speaker 2] I hope to sometime next year. Right now I am planning to get my surgery done next vacation, and once I am fully healed, I do plan to go back as often as possible. Do you think you will ever go?

[Speaker 1] Surgery!!!??? Are you ok? I wish I could go to disneyland but I'm not allowed with 300 feet of schools or parks.

[Speaker 2] oh no, nothing serious. I am fine. Wait, what? Amusment parks count?

[Speaker 1] That's the funny thing, I thought they didn't count, but you wouldn't believe the hassle I got when I went to 6 flags over Atlanta. Judge Melchenhough made it very clear that I can't be around any amusement parks or Chuck E Cheese restaurants. Some people just like to make things hard on the little guy..

[Speaker 2] I guess rules are rules. I didn't realize you had such restrictions. Disney land is so fun. You are really missing out

[Speaker 1] I'm used to all the rules now. Have you got your family more involved in volunteering?

[Speaker 2] Not in the last couple of hours no lol. I do try to get them to join and do things, but not every minute. They do some already, but I want them to do more. I am thinking of making them adopt a highway and that would also help my business.

I enjoy my fellow humans. I no longer have any family to spend time with.

I work at an animal shelter. I'm going to be adopting a puppy named Marky Mark. I'm going to have him compete in races when he's older.

I am unable to go within 300 feet of parks (including amusement parks) or schools or Chuck E Cheese restaurants. I had trouble going to Six Flags over Atlanta. I've gotten used to dealing with the restrictions in my life.

I enjoy walking.

I used to visit Disneyland with my family. I want to go again next year. I love Disneyland. Mickey Mouse is my favorite character when visiting. Goofy is also a Disney character I enjoy.

[Speaker 1] I think I'm going to bring Marky Mark the puppy home this weekend!

[Speaker 2] Thats awesome!  What breed is he?

[Speaker 1] I think he is a mixed bred but it looks like a mix of German Shepard and Vizsla.

[Speaker 2] Sweet!  I wish we could have a puppy but with the children I am worried that it may be too much for them.  But I love dogs!

[Speaker 1] You should go for it! Working at the animal shelter I know there are plenty of dogs that could use a good home. Just got to find the right bred that are good with children. Or are you worried that your kids won't take care of the dog?

[Speaker 2] im worried the kids wont take to the dog.  Maybe when they are older and are more responsible.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. It might be a good idea to wait. Feel free to bring your kids into the animal shelter to play with the dogs. You don't have to take one home but you can introduce the kids to the dogs.

[Speaker 2] THats a good idea, there is a shelter nearby that allows people to play with the dogs so they can get some socialization.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! It'll be good for the kids and for the dogs. Be careful though once you get in there its hard to leave without a dog. What is your favorite bred?

[Speaker 2] I want a corgi.  They are smart and cute.  PLus I want to name it Lieutenant Dan because he aint got no legs

[Speaker 1] hahaha that's perfect! We should race Marky Mark against Lieutenant Dan once you get one.

[Speaker 2] mine might need a head start with those tiny legs

I work at an animal shelter.

I just adopted a puppy named Marky Mark. My puppy is mixed breed and I'm not completely sure what they are. I'm going to have him compete in races when he's older.

I enjoy walking.

My children are younger. I protect my children's mental space. I want to encourage my children to volunteer. I don't think my children are responsible enough to take care of a pet. I like smart and cute looking dogs, like corgis.

[Speaker 1] Our conversation got me thinking about learning what breeds Mary Mark is so I just bought one of those genetic tests to get a better idea. So in a few weeks, hopefully, I'll have a clearer idea!

[Speaker 2] you'll have to let me know what the results say. what do you think it's going to come back as?

[Speaker 1] Well is it big or small?

[Speaker 2] it's your dog?? that's a question for you to answer.

[Speaker 1] My puppy is small right now. It look like it could be mixed with a German Shepard and Pitbull!

[Speaker 2] must be a cute puppy! i love german shepherds and pits are adorable too

[Speaker 1] I still want to go to Disneyland. I never been.

[Speaker 2] You should definitely try to get there some day. it's so much fun.

[Speaker 1] I think I will after I win the Wrestling Championship.

[Speaker 2] I didn't realize you were in a wrestling competition. how is that going?

[Speaker 1] Good so far! I'm 6-0 and hope to continue the streak on Sunday!

[Speaker 2] well that's exciting. I hope you win the next match.

[Speaker 2] It is. I live french fries and burgers so I need to exercise!

[Speaker 1] Lol well that is a good reason

[Speaker 2] Yes, where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I live in the sunny state of florida surrounded by my huge family

[Speaker 2] That is so nice! I just bought a house in tennessee. Do you like florida?

[Speaker 1] Awww yeah she is my therapy dog I had cancer three years ago

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry but glad that you have her!

I like to walk in my spare time.

I live in Florida. I have family in Florida. I love where I live. I have children and grandchildren.

I only drink water. I have had medical issues in the past.

I have a black lab, it's a therapy dog. I had cancer.

I love french fries and burgers.

I live in Tennessee. I own a house.

I love dogs. I adopted my dog from an animal shelter.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about taking your dog with you on long walks to make them more enjoyable?

[Speaker 2] I have! I actually just took my dog on a walk this morning it was a beautiful day. What is your favorite thing to do with your black lab?

[Speaker 1] My grandson has been coming over to teach him how to catch frisbees.  I really enjoy watching him catch them.  I also enjoy going on long walks with him, his name is Chocolate (in Spanish). What is your dog's name?

[Speaker 2] That is so nice that you get to see your grandson more often! chocolate is a great name for a dog. My dogs name is tyson. How many grandchildren and children do you have? It must be nice to see your family expand so much.

[Speaker 1] Tyson's a nice name.  I have two children and four grandchildren.  It is such a blessing to have them nearby.. I have really enjoyed watching them grow!

[Speaker 2] That is a big happy family! Also it is nice that you have your family living so close. How long have you lived in florida for?

[Speaker 1] I have lived here for 30 years.  How about you? Do you have any children/grandchildren?

[Speaker 2] I have two children ages 1 and 3. Two boys. I live in tennessee and my wife has to deal with a house full of boys haha. I am really enjoying my family at this age.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Yes, those are some pretty rambunctious ages.  I am sure you both have your hands full!  What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] Yea we don't always get enough sleep between us but that's the way it goes I guess! I am a mailman and have been for about 3 years. I enjoy my job for the most part it pays the bills and allows my wife to stay home with the kids. How about you, what do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] I am now retired but I used to be a teacher.  I taught mostly elementary school for 25 years. I really enjoyed teaching.  Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I really enjoy eating burgers and fries and watching sports when I can get some spare time. I don't mind putting on a few extra pounds for now! I have a lot of respect for teachers now that I am older with kids of my own. Teachers should be paid like doctors in my opinion. Where in florida do you like to walk on your spare time?

I like to walk in my spare time.

I only drink water. I had cancer.

I have a black lab, it's a therapy dog. My grandson is teaching him to play frisbee. His name is the Spanish word for Chocolate.

I have two children and four grandchildren. I like that my family lives nearby.

I have lived in Florida for 30 years. I am a retired elementary school teacher. I taught for 25 years and enjoyed it.

I love french fries and burgers.

I own a house.

I have two sons who are 1 and 3. I live in Tennessee. I have a wife. I like my family.

My wife and I don't get enough sleep. I have been a mailman for 3 years. I mostly enjoy my job. My wife stays home with the kids.

[Speaker 1] We have plans for my family to have a beach day this weekend! It will be my dog's first time in the ocean.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really nice. Will your grandson take the frisbee the beach? I wish we lived closer to the beach the closest one is a 4 hour drive away and that is too long for toddlers.

[Speaker 1] My grandchildren aren't coming, unfortunately. It will just be me, my spouse, and my two children. Tennessee is quite far from the beaches in Florida.

[Speaker 2] That's too bad your grandchildren are not going I am sure you will miss them. I am sure having a dog will be like watching a kid will the dog go swimming? Maybe when the kids are older we will go on a vacation to Florida for now we enjoy the parks here.

[Speaker 1] I'm not quite sure if my black lab will go swimming. It would be neat to see him doing the doggy paddle, but yeah, I will have to watch him to make sure he's safe. What do you, your wife, and your kids like to do at the park?

[Speaker 2] It will be fun to see how a dog acts at a beach. You know what is is like to have small kids they are always doing dangerous things so my wife and I have to watch them carefully. They really like to go on the slide right now though we just hope to tire them out enough so they sleep when we get home.

[Speaker 1] I hope they sleep easily too, for your sake. You told me you and your wife haven't been sleeping the best.

[Speaker 2] Yes it is still difficult managing routines my 1 year old only sleeps a few hours a night. It must be really nice to be a grandparent I can't wait until the kids are older.

[Speaker 1] You will love it once you're retired and the kids are out of the house. Now that I'm retired, I'm taking it easy, just enjoying life with my spouse and Chocolate, the dog. How's the Post Office treating you these days?

[Speaker 2] Florida is a good place for retirement. Post office is good I am used to the routine of the job its not to stressful. Its nice when all the dogs wait in the window to greet me but sometimes they can be a little wild.

[Speaker 1] Ha! That old cliche about the dog chasing or biting the mailman is true, I see! Have you been keeping up with sports in your nights after work?

[Speaker 2] Fortunately I have never had a dog bite me but it is true some dogs really don't like mail. I don't know why you would think they would be excited about packages especially if they are dog treats. I have not been watching to much sports I try to give my wife a break by looking after the kids when I get home and then I am tired.

I like to walk in my spare time.

I only drink water. I had cancer.

I have a black lab named Chocolate, it's a therapy dog. My grandson is teaching him to play frisbee. His name is the Spanish word for Chocolate.

I am interested in sports.

I love french fries and burgers.

I own a house.

I love dogs. I adopted my dog Tyson from an animal shelter. We go on walks. I have never been bitten by a dog.

I have a wife and two sons who are 1 and 3. My kids are energetic. I live in Tennessee. I like my family.

My wife and I don't get enough sleep. I work at the Post Office. I have been a mailman for 3 years. I mostly enjoy my job. My wife stays home with the kids.

I like watching sports. I don't mind gaining weight. I do not watch sports so I can let my wife relax by watching the children.

I don't live near the beach. I want to vacation in Florida but I like parks.

[Speaker 1] You won't believe this but my dog actually started barking at the mailman after our last conversation! I think he was just excited to see a smiling face though.

[Speaker 2] That’s amazing. I think that’s a really good sign. How did it turn out?

[Speaker 1] We're working on socialization and boundaries, although I think progress is definitely happening. I've been looking forward to the summer, hanging out in a few local parks. Vacation plans in the mix?

[Speaker 2] Yeah it’s in the plans. I’ve been really busy with my sons right now. Neither are two but both are acting like they are going through their terrible twos.

[Speaker 1] I love watching kids grow and change, sometimes they end up repeating things! I hear you there. Some days, just getting through the day is a big accomplishment!

[Speaker 2] Watch anything interesting in spots lately?

[Speaker 1] I am going to guess "spots" is "sports" I hope! We have a few seasons starting up, although the roster always seems to be changing. With summer, tennis will be active too. How's your dog doing?

[Speaker 2] Tyson is doing very well. He is really great with people. He’s a really good spot... sport I mean about going on walks.

[Speaker 1] Haha, I see what you did there. I'm glad to get exercise with mine, and is a big reason I decided to get a dog too. Mine's getting good at frisbee.

[Speaker 2] That’s great Tyson isn’t much of a “fetch” dog. You throw something and he looks at you like “you going to get that?”

[Speaker 1] Well, maybe they compensate by being a good lap dog on the couch? Affection is a big reason to get one too. Pros and cons of keeping a pet guest!

[Speaker 2] Yeah we get outside and exercise so I guess games isn’t the most important thing.

I like to walk in my spare time.

I only drink water. I had cancer.

I participate in sports. I am interested in tennis.

I love french fries and burgers.

I own a house.

[Speaker 1] Have you done anything fun with your kids lately?

[Speaker 2] I took my kids out to go geo-caching this last weekend. That was pretty fun! I got the kids out of my wives hair for a while at least.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds intriguing. What is it? Maybe it is something I can try with my grandson?

[Speaker 2] It's a little bit of a weird hobby but you take a GPS and put in coordinates of a box that someone has hid. You track it down and sometimes there is a little treasure in the box or you write your name on a piece of paper that you found the box. It's great for all ages I think.

[Speaker 1] Oh that would be a lot of fun. Of course, I am not the best at the new technology as much as my grandson is, but maybe he will know how to use the things. It sounds like a treasure hunt!

[Speaker 2] It is a treasure hunt! The technology isn't as hard as you think. All you have to do is put in the numbers and follow that map on the GPS. I bet your grandson could help.

[Speaker 1] It would also get him to walk with me some I think. He does like to play with the dog, but much of his time is in front of a TV. Maybe if the phone is telling him where to go then he will get out more! Thanks for the info. I will talk to him about it.

[Speaker 2] hahah that seems to be how kids are these days. My kids are quite young so they don't have that problem yet but I'm hoping that if I introduce hobbies like this while they are young it'll stick when they are older.

[Speaker 1] I am sure it will. My kids grew up playing outside and running around. They still like to go jogging and stuff. But the kids at my grandsons school never want to do stuff outside.

[Speaker 2] Technology is so addicting for young kids. I find myself struggling to not get addicted even at my age.

[Speaker 1] If it works out with my grandson, maybe we can get our families together and do a big hunt together.

[Speaker 2] That would be very fun! Maybe we could do a little picnic at the park where there are a few geocaches.


I enjoy sports such as running.
I'm a vegetarian.
I am married.
I am a woman.
My favorite color is blue.

I've been traveling the world for a years.

I own a yacht and I rent it out when I am not using it.

I also like to cook but I am not very good at it.

I've been trying all types of food everywhere I go.

Hey there I am 23 and I love food.

I like to be active in things more advanced than jogging.

I don't eat any meat.

I had my wedding in june.

I am female.

I like indigo.

I have made my way around earth for decades.

I lease luxury boats.

I'm trying to learn how to create recipes.

I'm open to new experiences.

I try new restaurants all the time.

[Speaker 1] Hello! I just got back from a run. What are you up to today?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I am thinking where to go next. I am traveling.

[Speaker 1] That sounds exciting. What about somewhere that has great food?

[Speaker 2] That would be france, french food is the best. But I have been there, 5 times.

[Speaker 1] Wow that is a lot! I only travel to go to marathons. I need to try france!

[Speaker 2] Are you an athlete? I try to stay in shape, too.

[Speaker 1] I would say I am athletic, yes. However I just run and swim. Nothing else

[Speaker 2] Do you like swimming in the ocean? I do.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I go to the ocean when I do the la marathon each year.

[Speaker 2] That's nice. I've a yacht, I love sailing it.

[Speaker 1] A yacht! That is awesome. I'm impressed.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I wish I could say I earned it. No, inherited.

[Speaker 1] Have you had it long? I imagine it was hard to learn how to drive it

[Speaker 2] About two years. I have a captain, so I don't drive it myself.

[Speaker 1] Did the captain come with the yacht?

[Speaker 2] No, I had to hire one. The previous one was too old.

I am a marathon runner. I travel for marathons. I have not been to France.

I swim.

I travel.

I like swimming in the ocean.

[Speaker 1] I have started alternating my runs with bike rides so that I might be able to someday complete a triathlon.

[Speaker 2] That's an awesome goal! And good idea to start training with the bikes. Any particular triathlon you want to do?

[Speaker 1] Not yet.  Just trying to get my bearings and familiar with it all.  After getting my bike riding down, plan to move onto swimming.  Any tips?

[Speaker 2] Don't drown? Just kidding! Probably not a lot I can offer you except to not try to do too much at one time. With all the running and now biking you do, you should have good lung capacity for swimming but it can be overwhelming if you try to go to fast at the beginning. I think I might need to start doing some running and biking and maybe we can travel and do our first triathlon together!

[Speaker 1] That would be great.  Your right, I don't plan on doing everything at once.  Get biking down and then move on.  You're welcome to join me on my runs.

[Speaker 2] Thank you and I think I will do that. Going to take me awhile to build up to a marathon though. Do you have any tips for me on running? Should I try a 5k first?

[Speaker 1] Take your time. if your not use to running start out walking and each day try to increase your speed.   Stretching before and after is extremely important.  A 5k would be a good start if your use to running.  It will give you a sense of where your at with your abilty.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan. Hopefully when I'm ready to try biking, I can remember how. It's been years since I've been on a bike. Not a whole lot time to run and bike when I'm out sailing my yacht. You should come for a short sail on my yacht sometime! We can head up and down the west coast and see some cool sights!

[Speaker 1] Oh that would be great.  I love the west coast.  Have you been to San Francisco bay?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I love sailing through there! I love docking there and seeing the seals! I'm originally from Texas so we don't have many seals there. We'll have to plan a trip soon then!

[Speaker 1] Yes we will.  The food at fisherman's wharf is amazing.  What are some other places you've sailed to on the west coast?

[Speaker 2] Completely agree! I guess we know where we'll have to stop to eat. I love sailing down the coast to San Diego also! San Francisco is nice but can get a little cool but San Diego is always perfect! Maybe we can plan it as a little recovery trip after you finish the LA Marathon this year!

I swim. I like the ocean. I do the LA marathon each year.

I ride bike. I run. I want to complete a triathlon.

I love the west coast. I like the food at fisherman's wharf.

I travel. I like French food. I have been to France 5 times.

I like swimming in the ocean.

I run. I haven't ridden a bike in years. I am on the west coast. I am from Texas.

I like the food at fisherman's wharf.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever miss Texas.

[Speaker 2] hmm, sometimes i do yeah. Although I'm a traveling spirit at heart so i don't ever miss Texas too too bad. Do you travel ever, besides for marathons?

[Speaker 1] Occasionally, but I've never gone as far as France. Mostly I travel to good swimming or biking spots up and down the coast. Is the Texas gulf coast good for swimming?

[Speaker 2] It's down to personal preference but I think it's a fine place to swim, It's not too harsh. have you ever thought about scuba swimming off a yacht? I'm around so im sure i could figure something out with you.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing. Do you do it in the shallows or do you do deep-sea scuba diving? I love to swim so I'd be thrilled to try either.

[Speaker 2] Haha I like to do it in the shallows, I'm far too scared to do deep sea stuff. how do you feel about the deep sea, regardless of wanting to swim there?

[Speaker 1] I feel like it's beautiful and mysterious and thrilling, and yet also like it kind of wants to suck me in and drown me in a terrifying way. Still love the ocean though, you know?

[Speaker 2] Haha good way to put it I suppose yeah. So anyway, is LA the only marathon that you travel for?

[Speaker 1] It's the only one I regularly commit to every year. I do a few other marathons here and there, but the LA one is the only one I've repeated. Have you ever considered training for a marathon?

I am a marathon runner.  I do the LA marathon each year. I travel for marathons. I have not been to France.

I like the ocean. I love swimming. I'd like to try scuba swimming.

I inherited my yacht. I have had my yacht for about two years. A captain sails the yacht for me. I hired my captain when the previous one became too old. I love sailing through San Francisco Bay. I have sailed to San Diego. I like the food at fisherman's wharf.

I like to travel.

[Speaker 1] I've just signed up to do a marathon in Texas!

[Speaker 2] Wow that is awesome, When is the marathon

[Speaker 1] Late June. I am so excited! I hope to score a medal.

[Speaker 2] I hope you do score a medal too. Will you be swimming in Florida too?

[Speaker 1] How do you go to Florida and not hop in the ocean? It will be calling my name!

[Speaker 2] Lol. I think i will to try out a new swimming technique in my next swimming practice

[Speaker 1] Let me know how it goes! I am curious!!!

[Speaker 2] I will definitely do that

[Speaker 1] Where did you learn the new technique?

[Speaker 2] I learnt it on a YouTube channel. Do you also use YouTube to learn as well ?

[Speaker 1] I sure do! How did we ever live without youtube?!?!

[Speaker 2] I really wonder at times These days i learn almost everything for free on YouTube

I recently signed up to run a marathon in Texas. I hope to score a medal in a marathon.

I like swimming in the ocean. I scuba swim. I learn new swimming techniques from YouTube.

I like to travel.

[Speaker 1] I just bought new shoes for the marathon. They're great, but I need to break them in a bit.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you don’t want to get half way through the marathon and have your shoes hurting your feet.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can look up some running techniques with new shoes just like how you look up swimming techniques on YouTube. :)

[Speaker 2] Speaking of running, I’m looking forward to seeing you race when you come to Texas for that marathon. I’m going to bring some friends with me to watch you.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome! I would defiantly like to look around once we're done and get the full Texas experience!

[Speaker 2] I can bring you on my yacht too. There’s a great spot to go where we can swim as well. There’s so much to do here.

[Speaker 1] Do you think there is a place such as fisherman's wharf there? The food is so good!

[Speaker 2] Yeah there’s a place for that. Fresh seafood is so good. What kind of seafood do you like?

[Speaker 1] Hands down shrimp lol! I could eat those little guys all day! What about you?

[Speaker 2] I like salmon and shrimp too. They really are addicting. I don’t like cocktail sauce though.

[Speaker 1] That's understandable, cocktail sauce is a hit or miss for me as well. We should definitely pick up some shrimp and salmon for the yacht (and for the captain... if they like seafood lol).

[Speaker 2] He does. It would be strange I think to be a captain and not eat fish.


My favorite food is mexican food.

In my free time I like to watch nascar racing and ufc.

My favorite band is aerosmith.

I'm a construction worker.

I love listening to britney spears.

I rebuild structures.

I enjoy old school pop music.

I like to have the best of things.

I never seem to be able to save, I am always broke.

I always am cutting food out of what I eat.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, how are you

[Speaker 2] I'm good. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I am pretty good. Tell me about yourself?

[Speaker 2] Well, I love shopping and pampering myself. I go to the spa a lot!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like fun. I personally like watching nascar racing and ufc

[Speaker 2] I don't watch much television, but I love music. Britney spears is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Britney spears is good but not my favorite, aerosmith is.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. What is your favorite food?

[Speaker 1] Mexican food is my favorite, whats yours?

[Speaker 2] I like mexican food, but I eat salads a lot to watch my diet.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok. Whats your occupation

[Speaker 2] I am a professional model. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I am a construction worker, do you travel a lot?

[Speaker 2] I do. I love traveling to new exotic places.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could travel more, my job doesn't allow it much

[Speaker 2] It is fun, but gets tiresome. What else do you enjoy?

I watch television. I like to watch Nascar racing and UFC.

I listen to Aerosmith.

I like Mexican food.

I am a construction worker.

I do not have much time to travel.

I love to shop. I regularly visit the spa.

I do not watch much television. I listen to Brittney Spears.

I monitor my diet. I am a professional model.

I travel.

[Speaker 1] Where was the last place that you traveled to?

[Speaker 2] Canada, to go model at a fashion show

[Speaker 1] How long do your trips usually last?

[Speaker 2] A week or so. So which restaurant do u go often to eat your mexican food

[Speaker 1] There are a couple nearby that I go to once in a while; however, I really like to do the cooking myself.

[Speaker 2] Do the cooking yourself. I thought construction workers do not really have time to do sure?.

[Speaker 1] I always make time to have a great meal!

[Speaker 2] That is good. So which UFC match you watched last?

[Speaker 1] Usman vs Masvidal, this past weekend. Have you ever seen a match?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't. I don't really like the sport, judt like you do not like traveling

[Speaker 1] Hold on, it's not that I don't like to travel; I just don't have much time to do so. That is something I'd like to change...soon.

[Speaker 2] ok then. I will love you to create time for it

I listen to Aerosmith.

I am a construction worker.

I like Mexican food. I sometimes go to Mexican restaurants, but I prefer to cook myself. I always make time to have good meals.

I like traveling but do not have much time for it. I want to have more time for travel.

I travel. The last place I traveled to was Canada, to model at a fashion show. My trips usually last about a week.

I have never seen a UFC match. I don't really like UFC.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any upcoming trips that you're excited about?

[Speaker 2] Yes, next month I'm going to Paris for modeling. I can't wait to go shopping at all the stores. Would you like to travel to Paris one day, or someplace in the USA?

[Speaker 1] I wouldn't mind going to Paris someday to visit the Louvre. It's not really high up on my list though. So many other places I'd rather go to first.

[Speaker 2] Do you travel much for your job? My ex worked in construction and he traveled all the time.

[Speaker 1] Not as much as I'd like. Most of the work I do is local. One of these days I'll have time to travel for leisure though. I'd love to go visit Florence.

[Speaker 2] Me too! I'm surprised that you didn't say you want to visit Mexico because you love Mexican food, lol.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I wouldn't mind going down there for a relaxing vacation on the beach at some point. That said, I think if I were going south of the U.S. I'd probably head down to Brazil or Patagonia. What places have you not travelled to so far but still want to visit?

[Speaker 2] Like you I would love to go to Brazil, I think that would be so cool. I want to see the rainforest, the culture, and not to mention the food! I love all different types of foods. I think thats my favorite part about traveling.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, in my downtime I watch travel shows occasionally and the food in Brazil looked intriguing. I'd love to take a boat trip down the Amazon at some point.

[Speaker 2] Maybe we can plan a trip together someday if you want. What type of construction do you do?

I listen to Aerosmith.

I am a construction worker. I primarily work locally.

I like traveling but do not have much time for it. There are a lot of places I would like to travel to, one of them being Florence. I'd also like to see the Louvre. I'd enjoy visiting Mexico some day. I would also like to take a trip to Patagonia or Brazil. I enjoy watching travel shows on TV. I'd enjoy boating on the Amazon river.

I am traveling to Paris soon for work.

I have an ex who was once a construction worker.

I'd like to go to Brazil for the rainforest, the food and the culture. I enjoy a wide variety of foods.

[Speaker 1] So when next month are you actually going to Paris?

[Speaker 2] I leave in 2 weeks! Have you made any great meals this week?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I am loving the idea of cookking my own mexican foods and preparing them for my family, the dishes are so delicious. I always make time to make sure my meals are quality haha!

[Speaker 2] Haha nice! What was your favorite dish you made this week?

[Speaker 1] I love making my favorite mexican dish, enchiciladas. They are so delicious and the tomatoes really kick in to the flavored. Man, this is really making me want to travel to mexico lol. Do you think I  should?

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds yummy! You definitely should! You could try all sorts of traditional foods and then come back and recreate them!

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can get some ideas from some other places too, I want to travel to soo many different areas you cant even imagine. I want to go to Florence, Patagonia, and Brazila swell. Maybe I can get a cultural blend of the whole world to create my universal food dish lol. Now thats sounds cool!

[Speaker 2] That does sound so cool! Have you been watching any shows to plan out your dream trip?

[Speaker 1] Not really I just watch UFC and Nascar Racing when I am bored haha. I listen to Aerosmith too, but no shows that connect to my food or travelling hobbies. I guess those hobbies are just natural from me, probably picked it up somewhere haha. I enjoy watching travel shows on TV too, but exclusively.

[Speaker 2] Ah how have your favorite Nascar drivers been doing?

[Speaker 1] Theyve been doing good, I watch their personal lives through social media from time to time. But what really has me ont he edge of my seat is that Usman vs Masvidal UFC Fight. So thrilling!

[Speaker 2] Who won? I don't care for UFC so I don't know all of the update!

I like to watch Nascar racing and UFC. Last weekend I watched Usman vs Masvidal. I occasionally use social media to watch NASCAR drivers' personal lives.

I listen to Aerosmith.

I am a big fan of Mexican food. I sometimes go to Mexican restaurants, but I prefer to cook myself. I always make time to have good meals.  like enchiladas.

I like traveling but do not have much time for it. There are a lot of places I would like to travel to: Florence, Patagonia, and Brazila. I'd also like to see the Louvre. I'd enjoy visiting Mexico some day. I enjoy watching travel shows on TV. I'd enjoy boating on the Amazon river.

I have a family.

I am traveling to Paris in two weeks for work.

[Speaker 1] My best friend just got tickets for the two of us to see Aerosmith at Fenway Park in September! Oh man, I hope I can get the time off work.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's going to be a blast! Did you already let your employer know?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, it just happened. I've never seen them live!

[Speaker 2] You're going to love it. Have you been to many other live concerts before?

[Speaker 1] Hmmm, not really. I did see Motley Crue and Run DMC once. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I haven't been since I was a kid actually. Big crowds make me a bit uncomfortable. Do you have a problem with crowds?

[Speaker 1] They make me a bit uncomfortable. But once the music kicks in it's not so bad. Would you go see Britney?

[Speaker 2] I guess that's true. I would go see Britney if I could convince my friends to go with me, but I'm not sure they would haha.

[Speaker 1] Aww, well I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad. Anyway, you said you were a model - do you think you'll ever get to go to Brazil for a shoot?

[Speaker 2] That would be the dream. Then I could finally see the rainforest! I'd love to see all the animals there. Do you like animals?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I can't imagine seeing them in the rainforest. That'd be wild - get it?

[Speaker 2] Haha, good one! I'd love to see a sloth in the wild. Have you ever seen a sloth?


I do not consume meat products.
I am a sophomore.
I like bright colors.

I like indigo.

I had my wedding in june.

I am female.

[Speaker 1] Hi! Do you like purple and lime?

[Speaker 2] They are ok! Blue is better than purple though.

[Speaker 1] Unless it is on your hair. Mine is brown.

[Speaker 2] Cool! My hair is sweaty. I just got back from the gym.

[Speaker 1] Ugh. When mine gets sweaty, the curls poof out.

[Speaker 2] My husband loves it when my hair poofs out.

[Speaker 1] I've to use three products to straighten mine.

[Speaker 2] That is crazy! I hope there aren't any animal products in there.

[Speaker 1] Nope. My moms friend uses all vegan products.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's great. I support that. I'm actually vegetarian myself.

[Speaker 1] I've been vegan since seventh grade.

[Speaker 2] That's so beneficial to the world and your health! Nice work.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is. My principal thinks there's something wrong with me.

[Speaker 2] Forget that. He probably has diabetes from all the burgers he eats.


My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate.

I've three children.

I'm a plumber.

My wife and kids are the best.

Nothing beats laying in the sun.

[Speaker 1] Hello. How are you tonight? I am doing great.

[Speaker 2] Hi! Just enjoying the sun during vacation. I am at miami beach.

[Speaker 1] I would love to take my wife and kids to the beach.

[Speaker 2] I am on a school trip. Brought some 4th graders. I am their teacher.

[Speaker 1] How many 9 year olds do you have with you? My youngest is 9.

[Speaker 2] 10. After a swim, we are going to play monopoly. Board games are the best!

[Speaker 1] Are you the only adult there?

[Speaker 2] My parents are helping, too. They used to teach.

[Speaker 1] So you are not really on vacation.

[Speaker 2] Later this evening, I am sneaking away to catch up in concert. My fav!

[Speaker 1] Never heard of up. Is that a musical group?

[Speaker 2] A band. Semi vacation. My favorite way to spend vacation is at the beach.

[Speaker 1] With 3 kids, it is great. With 10, I'd not go to great.

[Speaker 2] I will do anything to go to the beach! And I love kids.

[Speaker 1] I love kids too. Almost as much as I like chocolate ice cream but not 10.

[Speaker 2] Oh, yummy! Sounds good right now!

I am married.  I have multiple children, the youngest of which is 9.

I am on vacation in Miami, Florida.
I am a 4th grade teacher.
My parents are still alive.
My favorite is going to concert.

[Speaker 1] All the talk about ice cream earlier made me go out and get some chocolate ice cream at the store.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite brand of chocolate ice cream? I like Breyer's.

[Speaker 1] I like any brand, as long as it is plain chocolate. Have you been to any concerts?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I actually went to see a friend's band play this past weekend. Do you like listening to music?

[Speaker 1] I do like some music, but the only concerts I get to are the ones I take my kids to.

[Speaker 2] What kind of concerts do your kids like to go to?

[Speaker 1] They like country music concerts. Do you like country?

[Speaker 2] I'm more of a bluegrass/western person myself. Do they have a favorite artist?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure about a favorite artist. I think they'd listen to any.

[Speaker 2] Well, that's good. Having a favorite anything can really limit growth. How old is your oldest child?

[Speaker 1] My youngest is almost 10 years old! Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] I asked about your oldest, actually. No, I don't have any children and don't intend to.

I like any brand ice cream as long as it is plain chocolate.

I am on vacation in Miami, Florida.

I am a 4th grade teacher.

My parents are still alive.

My favorite is going to concert. I like bluegrass and western music.

I don't have or want children.

[Speaker 1] I'm trying to plan my 9 year old's 10th birthday party.

[Speaker 2] What kind of theme are you going to do? A country music theme would be cool!!

[Speaker 1] I think that would be an awesome plan. They really like country music. I pretty much stick to their likes with music anyhow.

[Speaker 2] You could have them dress up as their favorite country music star. We do this at the school I teach at and the kids love it. And of course you will have to serve chocolate ice cream and birthday cake, lol.

[Speaker 1] Chocolate ice cream is my absolute favorite. I don't even care about the brand, chocolate is my requirement, lol.

[Speaker 2] I love all the flavors, have you ever tried pistachio ice cream? I thought it would be gross but it's so good!

[Speaker 1] I actually have, I enjoy pistachio ice cream, but for me it's all about the chocolate! Do you find that the kids in your class prefer plain flavors or the crazy ones?

[Speaker 2] Well we went on a field trip to the Breyer's factory and the kids could get any flavor they wanted too. Most of them went for the weirder flavors and only a few picked the plain. I think kids are drawn to try different things.

[Speaker 1] Of course kids want weird things! I bet ice cream is wonderful on a hot day in Florida!

[Speaker 2] It's the best!! So how many kids do you have? Do they all like going to school?

[Speaker 1] We have 7 kids. I don't know if they like school, they've all been homeschooled. It gives us a lot of freedom.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! So you are a teacher like me! I bet that can get stressful some days. How old are they?

I am married.  I have seven children, the youngest of which is 9. They are all homeschooled.

The only concerts I go to are the ones I bring my kids to. My kids like country music. I don't have a favorite artist. My children and I enjoy country music.

I love chocolate ice cream more than any other flavor.

I took my students on a field trip to an ice cream factory in Miami, Florida.

I am a 4th grade teacher.

My parents are still alive.

I don't have or want children.

[Speaker 1] I bought a new country album and my kids and I rocked out to it a lot yesterday!

[Speaker 2] How much did you pay for the new album? I didn’t know if anyone bought whole albums anymore.

[Speaker 1] I love to get physical copies still. Makes the experience feel more real to me and it gets the family involved. It was about $20 bucks but I think it's worth it.

[Speaker 2] I am not gonna disagree with real family experiences. Do you still buy physical movies as well?

[Speaker 1] Yeah! I snagged a bunch when our local blockbuster went out of business and I grab a few every year around Christmas time to watch with the family. Do you buy all digital media?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. Except for art. Anything else i don’t see a reason to make a hard copy.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I don't have anything against digital copies but it's nostalgic to pop in a hard copy movie. Do you buy a lot of art?

[Speaker 2] I firmly believe in hanging original art around the house instead of reproductions or prints. So yes! I buy art often

[Speaker 1] Interesting. What are your thoughts on this new NFT Art craze that has been going on?

I enjoy movies, especially Christmas movies. I like nostalgia.

I am a 4th grade teacher.

My parents are still alive.

I don't have or want children.

Breyer's is my favorite ice cream brand. I love all kind of ice cream. Pistachio ice cream is surprisingly very tasty.

I do not buy physical albums. I do not buy physical movies. I enjoy experiencing things with my family.

I like original art. I buy a lot of art.

[Speaker 1] I brought ice cream home for my kids the other day we ate it while listening to our favorite music. What is your favorite concert you've been to?

[Speaker 2] Let me see......I've been to so many. I'd have to say Keith Urban. Do your kids like Keith Urban?

[Speaker 1] Yep! We've never seen him in concert but they do like him. They also like Lady A a lot. We saw them in concert once and they were really good live!

[Speaker 2] I've not seen Lady A, but have heard many times how good they are in concert. I'll keep my eye out for them. Was your ice cream chocolate?

[Speaker 1] Of course, lol. I tried a new brand this go round and it was really rich and velvety. A little pricey but worth it, I think. The kids ate it up. Good thing about having so many kids is that I don't get much of a chance to over-eat, haha.

[Speaker 2] That's what I'd call a good diet plan lol. The ice cream sounds wonderful. Sounds like Bryer's Gelato . Its very decadent.

[Speaker 1] Yes! It was definitely like Breyer's. I could almost feel the layer of fat adding itself to my belly as I ate, bahaha.

[Speaker 2] Like you said, "It was worth it". I too, know the feeling of food adding its self to my belly! That's always a sign its good.

[Speaker 1] Totally, absolutely worth it. But all chocolate ice cream is worth it. Anyhow, is the school year over for you yet or not?

[Speaker 2] All most. Got a couple of weeks left. How about for your kids?

[Speaker 1] I just need to submit some paperwork to the state and we're all set. The joys of homeschooling.

[Speaker 2] I know you're glad. Its definitely time for a break. Both for us and the kids.

I'm social with others.

[Speaker 1] Hello! I finally turned 18!

[Speaker 2] Cool do you like pro wrestling or not.

[Speaker 1] I used to watch it with my boyfriend all the time, but we broke up.

[Speaker 2] Well that is to bad, I am a wrestler my self!

[Speaker 1] That's neat! I like old hogan because his uniform is my favorite color... Orange!

[Speaker 2] Cool I like him to. That's why I workout all the time!

[Speaker 1] I've a fish that is orange and I named him hogan too!

[Speaker 2] Speaking of fish I made some yesterday. While volunteering at the homeless shelter.

[Speaker 1] No kidding? I actually work at a shelter in seattle. Do you hike

[Speaker 2] No! But I'd like too do so one day.

[Speaker 1] I hike before work in the morning. The morning sun is the best.

[Speaker 2] You hike before you go to work? Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I live in seattle. There are many places to hike.

[Speaker 2] I should travel more often I really like having people around me.

[Speaker 1] Travel up here and we can hike and watch wrestling.

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun. Maybe one day!

I am 18.

I like old hogan. My favorite color is orange.

I have a fish.

I work at the shelter in Seattle. I live in Seattle.

I hike in the mornings.

I am a wrestler.  I work out.

I like hogan.

I volunteered at the homeless shelter.

I would like to travel more.

[Speaker 1] When would you like to start traveling

[Speaker 2] When the travel ban is lifted

[Speaker 1] Where would you like to visit

[Speaker 2] I will love to go to Australia because of my volunteered job

[Speaker 1] Wow, sounds good, how long will you like to stay

[Speaker 2] A month. So what about your fish?

[Speaker 1] I am a country person and love to fish. Tell me a little more about your volunteer job

[Speaker 2] Homeless shelter. when are going hiking again?

[Speaker 1] I don't really hike, there is a lake 2 miles from where live.

I am 18.

I have a fish.

I hike in the mornings. I am a country person and love to fish. I don't really hike. I live 2 miles from a lake.

I am a wrestler.  I work out.

I like hogan.

I volunteered at the homeless shelter.

I do not hike. I would like to try hiking. I would like to travel more. I want to go to Australia because of my volunteer job. I want to stay in Australia for a month.

[Speaker 1] What part of Australia are you hoping to visit?

[Speaker 2] I'm really excited to go to Australia. I want to visit the major cities, like Canberra, the capital, along with Sydney and Melbourne. I also want to go hiking at Blue Mountains National Park.

[Speaker 1] Are you worried about all of the wildlife, like snakes and crocodiles and spiders?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I certainly don't want to run into one of those nasty, killer saltwater crocodiles! Also, I've seen videos online of kangaroos attacking humans, which also scares me! However, I'm going to Australia for my volunteer job, so duty calls.

[Speaker 1] How brave! I've seen a couple snakes while I was out hiking, but they were pretty far away. I don't think the animals in Seattle are as dangerous as the ones in Australia.

[Speaker 2] I would imagine that Australia has much more dangerous wildlife! What kind of snakes are there in Seattle? Are there snakes in the lake near your house?

[Speaker 1] We pretty much just have Garter snakes here. They aren't venomous, but I still wouldn't want to get too close! I've never seen any snakes in the water itself, but there have been a couple in the woods nearby.

[Speaker 2] Garter snakes are harmless, but I agree, I still don't like them! How's your job at the shelter going? I really enjoyed my time when I volunteered at the shelter.

[Speaker 1] It's going well. The work is very rewarding, but it can be stressful sometimes. I've been working really hard because I think I'll be up for a promotion soon.

[Speaker 2] I hope that you get it! You're pretty young to be on the fast track for a promotion!

[Speaker 1] Haha thanks. It's not a huge deal, just a shift manager in my department. It will pay a couple more dollars an hour, though, which is always nice.

[Speaker 2] Good for you! With that extra money, you could take a nice fishing trip or something.

I am 18.

I have a fish.

I work at the shelter in Seattle. I'm working hard so I can be promoted at the shelter. I would like to make more money. I live in Seattle.

I am a wrestler.  I work out.

I like hogan.

I volunteered at the homeless shelter.

Wildlife scares me, I am very interested in snakes. I do not like snakes. I like to fish.

[Speaker 1] What have you been doing to prepare for your trip, watched anymore videos or bought anything special?

[Speaker 2] Still getting that one planned, although you bet. I still love that accent and dream of getting there. They have huge bugs over there, have you seen?

[Speaker 1] No but I heard there are like 30 types of snakes that can kill you!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like there will be plenty of reason to stay indoors during night time! It's exciting to consider just being around folks all day long with that accent. How's your hiking?

[Speaker 1] I’m not a big hike. When I was younger I ran into a skunk when hiking and it scared me away from doing that.

[Speaker 2] Ah, I see. Sometimes we like do think about doing something, but maybe don't get to doing it as often as we like. I hear you.

[Speaker 1] I live near a lake so I walk down there plenty. I like seeing nature’s beauty but I don’t like snakes. Or skunks.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I remember the snakes. I wonder if maybe you had a bad experience with snakes when you were younger.

[Speaker 1] It could be. My grandma used to show me a movie with Medusa and spit scared me.

[Speaker 2] Ah, that is a scary thing yes. Although the original story of Medusa - she was a spiritual woman, and was harmed by Zeus and Hera. Medusa wasn't treated fair. Men love writing myths about snakes! I prefer dogs or cats.

[Speaker 1] Dogs are fun. Now now is the homeless shelter going? Did you get your promotion?

[Speaker 2] The work at the shelter is going pretty good. I've been happy where I'm at overall work wise. And yes, dogs are very fun!

I am 18. I used to watch pro wrestling. I had a boyfriend.

I have a fish.

I hike in the mornings. I am a country person and love to fish. I don't really hike. I live 2 miles from a lake and woods where we have Garter snakes. I like the beauty of the water and nature. I walk a lot.

I do not like hiking. I have been sprayed by a skunk when I was younger. I do not like skunks. I do not like snakes. I watched a movie called Medusa with my grandmother when I was young.

I like dogs.

I am a wrestler.  I work out.

I like hogan.

I volunteered at the homeless shelter. I am happy working there, but did not get a promotion recently.

I like accents. I like Greek mythology. I like cats and dogs.

[Speaker 1] What will you be doing for your volunteer job in Australia?

[Speaker 2] I work with an organization that helps low income families with dr visits, groceries, home repairs and things like that.

[Speaker 1] that's pretty awesome. why did they select Australia to help out though?

[Speaker 2] They try to send different groups to different places. We have about 50 groups in total.

[Speaker 1] what countries are the other groups going to?

[Speaker 2] I believe they have scheduled some places in the middle east & in Europe. I know those are continents, but right off I can't remember the specific companies. I know they are in the works of planning a trip to Africa soon.

[Speaker 1] how did you get involved in it? I think it's a pretty awesome idea.

[Speaker 2] I really love it! I started volunteering locally and then the more connections I made the more I learned about this group and wanted to work with them.

[Speaker 1] can you connect me with someone that can help me get involved as well?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes of course! I'll talk to our group president and get you connected with the group in Seattle!

[Speaker 1] thank you so much. I look forward to the call!

[Speaker 2] It's so great of hearing other people that want to be involved.

[Speaker 2] I don't really like music, so no best musician. So how do manage your truck

[Speaker 1] It works really well. Sometimes it is tough to get into parking spots, because it is pretty big. But I like it. How's work going?

[Speaker 2] Work is good. Hope you are get contract with your electrical jobs

[Speaker 1] Ya, things are going well. I am pretty busy these days.

I have a Ford Taurus and I like it.

I don't really like music.

[Speaker 1] I'm making plans to go to a concert in the summer.

[Speaker 2] Thats cool, who are you going to see? Anyone I would like?

[Speaker 1] I checked the website of the band the Offspring and they're touring in the U.S. this fall! I hope I can get some time off from electrician job to see them! I'd also love to see Lady Antebellum soon!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun!! How is your cow doing, you never told me his name?

[Speaker 1] My cow's name is Billy. They say "why buy the cow when the milk is free?", but I like having the cow and getting the milk for free! Did you have a name for the cow you used to own?

[Speaker 2] That's funny! My cows name was Bunny, because she has fluffy hair. I miss having fresh milk to drink, and make butter and ice cream. Have you ever done that? It's so good.

[Speaker 1] No, I've only had the milk I've squeezed out of Billy. I'm too busy with work to make butter and ice cream from the milk. Did you work on your family farm while they still owned it?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, everyday from morning till night. That was a lot of hard work. I would cut hay and we also grew tobacco. I had a garden, farm animals, and bee hives.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a really back-breaking, tough grind. Tobacco interest me. I drive a big truck and listen to country music, so it only makes sense that I'm a smoker too.

[Speaker 2] Yes it was, that's why my post office job is so boring for me. I'm used to being outside. Tobacco is a hard job with many processes. I also smoke and dip.

[Speaker 1] There's always time to be outside walking Barnaby along the hiking trails.

I have a pet cow named Billy that I walk through the field with. I get milk from Billy.

The Offspring is my favorite band. I'm planning to attend a concert during the summer. I would to see the Offspring and Lady Antebellum in concert.

I like top 40 and alternative radio.

I have a Ford Taurus and I like it.

I don't really like music.

I smoke tobacco and use dip. I am accustomed to being outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I'm curious -- what exactly do you do at the post office?

[Speaker 2] I sort local main and out of state mail.  Its very boring and exausting.

[Speaker 1] It doesn't sound very interesting.  Maybe you can move up into a different position.

[Speaker 2] i would like to.  I keep hoping a driver spot opens so I can at least get outdoors and have a change of scenery.

[Speaker 1] That would be great.  Then you control your day also. Once your route is done, your work day is done.

[Speaker 2] yes!  people come in from open to close dropping off mail and the rucks keep dropping mail off through out the shift.  It feel like it never ends.

[Speaker 1] I bet it keeps you pretty busy then.  Can you listen to music while your sorting?

[Speaker 2] Yes!  thats the only saving grace about the job, but im running out of music to listen to.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about listening to podcasts or audiobooks?

[Speaker 2] I have tried but then I get to focused on what im listening to and my work slows down.  But with music its just in the background and I can keep a steady pace.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I didn't think about that.  So true, some of the podcasts are really interesting and very easy to get caught up in.  I like listening to mystery podcasts.

[Speaker 2] i can listen on the way to and from work.  I need something to break up the monotony.  What podcast are you into currently?

I smoke tabacco.

I like listening to mystery podcasts.

My family used to own a tobacco farm. I used to have bee hives, a garden and livestock. My dad is a nascar driver. I want to be a driver.

I like top 40 and alternative radio.

I have a Ford Taurus and I like it.

I don't really like music.

[Speaker 1] I just got milk from Billy.

[Speaker 2] Hi, there. How's work going for you?

[Speaker 1] It's been busy. This time of year people like to get their rewiring all done.  So it's been go go go.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine! I guess that's good for you right? More money for concerts?

[Speaker 1] Sure, but less time to go to them! haha.  Thinks will slow down a little by the middle of summer I think.  Have you thought any more about driving?  How does your dad feel about you wanting to follow in his footsteps?

[Speaker 2] My dad likes nascar, but he also thinks that I should keep my post office job. It's good retirement. Still, I'd like to try it on weekends maybe. Do you like nascar?

[Speaker 1] I've watched a few races on TV, but have never been to the track.  I think it might be too noisy for me.   Maybe you can compromise and learn to race mail trucks!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea to me. LOL. Don't think my boss will go for it. My job is soooo boring. You sound busy. Do you like it?

[Speaker 1] Well, I can't complain about the work, and it's a good living.  I'll be glad to be able to take a couple of weeks off later in the year though.

[Speaker 2] Where are you planning on going

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about going to the country music festival in Loredo. Do you like country music at all?

[Speaker 2] I did when I was younger and lived on the farm. I don't listen to much music anymore. Mostly top 40 and alternative if anything at all. How many days is that festival?

[Speaker 1] Would you like to go shopping with me this weekend. I found an antique car shop.

[Speaker 2] I would be more than happy to!  Is there anything specific you are looking for car-wise?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am looking for old Porsche in the 1960's

[Speaker 2] Oh I love how Porsches look!  I don't know too much about what would make it a good buy or not, but I'd love to look.  How much are you looking to spend?

[Speaker 1] I don't have a lot of money, hopefully around $20,000

[Speaker 2] Well hopefully we will have some good luck!  Say, have you thought about getting a dog?  I know how much you like them.

[Speaker 1] I love dogs. Do you have a dog, if yes, how many

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have a golden retriever named Sally.  She's a total sweetheart.  Would you ever consider getting a dog/

[Speaker 1] Yes, I would like a dog, but I am having a hard time deciding what type of dog to get, can you give me a suggestion

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! Since you enjoy the outdoors, I think you would do best with a more medium or large-sized dog.  Maybe a retriever or a collie.  Boxers are also a lot of fun!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I was thinking about a Boxer, but I don't know much about a Boxer

[Speaker 2] They are amazing dogs!  They are so sweet and cuddly, but they do love getting out and burning off some energy.  When they get excited, they run in circles and chase their tails...it's so cute!

I enjoy shopping. I like car shopping.

I found an antique car shop. I want to buy an old Porsche from the 1960s. I have $20,000 to spend on a car.

I love dogs. I'm thinking about getting a boxer, but I don't know much about them.

I teach 3rd grade.

I like shopping. I am a woman.

I don't know much about valuing old cars.

[Speaker 1] I think I found a Porsche I want to buy.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I know you've been wanting one. What year is it?

[Speaker 1] It is a 1965. It is a great blue color. What do you drive?

[Speaker 2] I don't drive anything too fancy, just an old Honda Civic. It hauls around the dog which is all I need.

[Speaker 1] I respect that. Saving on a car payment is always good. I just love old cars so much.

[Speaker 2] Besides the Porsche do you have any other favorite old cars?

[Speaker 1] I love Jaguars and old Italian cars. What is your dream car?

[Speaker 2] I have always dreamed of a Rolls Royce. I've seen them in movies and they just look so comfortable to ride in.

[Speaker 1] They are dreamy for sure. I can't wait to take it for a nice drive.

[Speaker 2] I love getting outside. Is there a favorite spot you love to drive to?

[Speaker 1] I live driving to the mountains even though it still scares me a little bit.

[Speaker 2] The mountains are beautiful. Is the road a bit bumpy up there? I imagine that wouldn't be good for a Porsche.

I enjoy shopping. I like car shopping.

I want to buy an old Porsche from the 1960s.  I have $20,000 to spend on a car. I found a 1965 blue Porsche.

I teach 3rd grade.

I like shopping. I am a woman.

I love to be outside. I find mountains to be beautiful.

[Speaker 1] Have you taken your dog out on any scenic drives lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes always, I take sally out on walks every day. I drive her in my old Honda Civic hen I am going somewhere but I really want her to see how a Rolls Royce car feels.

[Speaker 1] Oh I would love to drive a Rolls one day but they are quite expensive. Even the older ones are. I wouldnt mind finding a classic and fixing it up. I wonder how it would do in the mountains. They tend to be large cars and some of those mountain roads are narrow!

[Speaker 2] haha funny you mention that, I find mountains to be beautiful. I know Is aid that last time we talked but I have to put emphasis! Rolls are great but what about that old italian car you were thinking about getting? The retro style is sick man!

[Speaker 1] I found an old Porsche but havent decided if I am going to go that route or keep looking for something more Italian. What do you like more?

[Speaker 2] I definitely like the italian cars better, they give a more mysterious and cynical look to them. Reminds me of the old gangster movies , probably why I think hey look so cool. However, I dont know much about valuing old cars.. so dont ask me lol/

[Speaker 1] I have a good down payment but it is hard to find those old italians around here. Once you find something shipping it can be a nightmare too!

[Speaker 2] You do have around $20,000 to spend on a car haha. Which is massive , especially since I am a teacher you know pay isnt that great haha. Whatever you get make sure to drive it down the mountain! ha

[Speaker 1] Half the fun is just shopping for the perfect car. You can be amazed at some of those old bar finds. You really never know what you are going to come across. I can say though, you teachers are so underpaid! You are helping shape the future of this country and planet by molding the minds of our children. I applaud what you do!

[Speaker 2] I appreciate that, I enjoy being with the kids and being active a lot so it makes up for it . I like walking outdoors with them and the recesses is always really great for teachers aswell. It is always a fun environment !

[Speaker 1] I imagine so. Do you ever get to take Sally with you? I bet the kids would love playing with her!

[Speaker 2] I take sally with me everywhere! We go shopping together too. My kids really love her, you should get that boxer breed you always wanted. I still remember you talking about it from last week!

I enjoy shopping. I like car shopping.

I love old cars. I think saving on car payments is good. I love Jaguars and old Italian cars. I would like to drive a Rolls Royce one day. My favorite spot is driving to the mountains.  I would like to fix up an old Rolls Royce.

I think that teachers are underpaid. I value teachers greatly.

I teach 3rd grade. I enjoy working with kids. I enjoy being active. I like being outside with the kids.

I like shopping. I am a woman.

I have an old Honda Civic. I like Rolls Royce cars because they look comfortable. I drive Sally in my Honda Civic when I am going somewhere. I want Sally to ride in a Rolls Royce one day. I take Sally everywhere with me.

I like Italian cars because they remind me of old gangster movies. I don't know a lot about old cars.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite subject to teach?

[Speaker 2] I love teaching science; for third graders it's mostly about nature so it's right up my alley!

[Speaker 1] That's great, I love being out in nature as well.  I think it's great getting kids interested in nature. Does Sally like the outdoors too?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, you've got to start them young! Especially since it's up to them to save us from the damage we've done to the planet. Oh she loves it; sometimes I have to actually drag her inside. Have you thought more about getting a dog?

[Speaker 1] Yess, I would love to have a dog companion to drive through the mountains with. I love how boxers look, but I don't know how they behave and if they are good travel companions. How did you know Sally would be a good traveler?

[Speaker 2] Like most dogs it all depends on how they're raised and trained! I just started taking Sally absolutely everywhere with me right when I get her when she was a puppy so she got used to it. I would definitely get a puppy so you could train them yourself.

[Speaker 1] That is good advice. Now I need to find the right puppy and maybe hire a trainer. Speaking of traveling, how does your Honda Civic handle in the mountains?

[Speaker 2] I think hiring a trainer is a great idea. I did for Sally and it has made continuing to train her so so easy!. It handles alright, honestly it's about time for a new car. How's your car search going? Made any decisions yet?

[Speaker 1] Sadly, the '65 Porsche I was looking at was a little out of my price range. I found a 1964 which is a little beat up, but is a nice red color. I was able to test drive a Rolls Royce - it was great, but also out of line with my budget. I don't mean to bore you with old car talk!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's too bad! And no!! Don't worry about boring me, I really want to learn more. You know it's my dream to have a Rolls Royce too! Even if I just like how they look!. I think a fixer-upper would be fun; it'd certainly be a great way to learn about cars.

[Speaker 1] Old cars are a slice of history. It might be fun to show your 3rd graders how a car works. It's not nature, but certainly takes a lot of science.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's a great idea for a field trip! We could go to a mechanic's and also the antique car museum downtown! Thanks for the inspiration, I've been meaning to plan an end of year field trip and that is perfect!

[Speaker 2] ok ill get in touch with you when the season starts back up. im going to try attempt to take the boys kayaking!  oh boy!!!!

[Speaker 1] Good luck, wish I was heading out today too!! Hopefully the weather is nice for you all too! I think I will do some reading today.

[Speaker 2] weathers always nice - happy reading

I think coffee is great. I take cream and sugar in my coffee. I don't like wine.

I go kayaking.

I have a chihuahua named ChiChi. I don't understand baseball.

I'm a little league coach. I have a mini van.

I've never kayaked. I'm going to attempt kaying with my sons.

I was a pitcher in high school. I have 5 little German Shepherds.

[Speaker 1] When is your sons' next baseball game?

[Speaker 2] Next Sunday, they're playing the White Stars, is the undefeated champion team from last year

[Speaker 1] That is great, are they all on the same time or just the same league?

[Speaker 2] The 3 oldest ones are in the junior league and the 2 young ones are in the mini one.

[Speaker 1] That must keep you very busy. I hope that they do well  against the tough team.

[Speaker 2] Life advice: DON'T HAVE KIDS... LOL just kidding. But yeah, maybe not 5. It's definitely drowning but I love them all. Thank you we shall see how it goes

[Speaker 1] Five kids and five dogs. I can't imagine. Does each child get their own buddy?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's pretty crazy, eh? And yes, one day they all decided they wanted a dog and instead of getting one we ended up getting five. Do you like dogs?

[Speaker 1] I do but can't imagine having a whole pack of chihuahuas though. I think chichi likes being an only child. Very spoiled.

[Speaker 2] Pretty cool name. Is it a she or a he? And how old?

[Speaker 1] She is a diva at two years of age. Wears sweaters and all. Kind of like that movie I think its Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

[Speaker 2] Amazing. There's nothing better than spoil our pets, right? Does she go with you when walking the other dogs or does she has her own time?

I go kayaking.

I have a two-year-old female chihuahua named ChiChi. I dress my dogs in sweaters. I don't understand baseball.

I don't have any children.

I have five sons. They are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. They all play little league together. All my children play baseball.

[Speaker 1] I got ChiChi the CUTEST new outfit, She looks like a Disney princess.

[Speaker 2] haha! What Disney princess does she look like?

[Speaker 1] definitely Belle. i would say you aren't an expert on disney princesses with 5 sons though, right? what movies do they prefer?

[Speaker 2] You got that right haha!! I'm in the dark about them. Belle is the one who likes books right? They're into anything sports or action related although I encourage them to actually play the games not just watch them!

[Speaker 1] yes, she is! that is great. better to play and burn off the energy and get exercise. i get plenty of exercise walking dogs. do you like any kinds of exercise?

[Speaker 2] haha! I'm blown away that I actually knew that! I play baseball with friends, go hiking, and with the little pups I get plenty of exercise chasing them around to get shoes out of their mouths! Are you interested in other types of exercise or just walking?

[Speaker 1] oh that is true. dogs do love to chew shoes - luckily mine is too small to chew on too many things. nah, i am kind of lazy. i think i would spend too much time on my couch if it weren't for my job! maybe i should get some kids too to force me to be more active!  have you set up a time to try out kayaking yet?

[Speaker 2] Actually I think in a few weeks I'm going to head out somewhere, I just haven't found the right place to go yet.

[Speaker 1] That is great! I am happy to give you some suggestions if you need them. I know all the best spots!

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome. What's the first place that comes to mind? I'm eager to get out and try this!

[Speaker 1] i would recommend starting out on a small lake. you dont want to be too ambitious and try the ocean or a river, that can be dangerous! do you think your sons would be interested to try?

[Speaker 2] Haha! I was thinking of diving right in to a bumpy river with a trainer, but I guess you would know best how to start things out. The boys do want to come but I think my buddy and I are going to head out and get the hang of it first! My kids won't let me live it down if they see me tip

I don't have any children.

I am not an active person. My job keeps me semi-active.

I go kayaking. I am knoweledgable anout kayaking.

I don't know a lot about Disney princesses. I am a very active person. I like to hike and play baseball. I am going kayaking soon. I have never kayaked before. I would like to be proficient at kayaking before taking my children with me.

[Speaker 1] I sent you that list of kayaking places, did any stick out to you? I could maybe hang out with the boys, depending on which day you go, I need to get my bum off the couch.

[Speaker 2] Some seems interesting, but they don't offer supervision, I would like some sort of help if something happens. Does it interest you ?

[Speaker 1] Does what interest me? I'm not planning on going kayaking this time. I thought you would like to go. Is your plan still to learn before you take the kids?

[Speaker 2] Even if I learn, I would be be still supervising 5 kids all by myself, and if something happens to more than 1, I could not help the other. That is why I think I need another person to help me. After some thoughts,  maybe kayaking is not a good activity with 5 kids, what do you think ?

[Speaker 1] I agree. It's definitely not good with 5 kids. You should find someone to watch them and go by yourself. That's your plan, right?

[Speaker 2] I want  to stay with them and have some fun, but I can't have fun and watch them at the same time. Water is dangerous.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should try a different activity to do together then. You could go on a bike ride or a hike with them.

[Speaker 2] I think hiking would be great, I try biking, and they race each other all the time, last time, 2 of them needed stiches after they fell from their bike in a race.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, they seem a bit rowdy. I'd suggest a nice easy hike then! Do your kids like being in nature in general?

[Speaker 2] Yes, and they don't mind a few mosquito bites. They have good endurance, last time we hiked for 3 hours. Do you like hiking ?

[Speaker 1] I really enjoy hiking but not uphill. I like flat hikes that lead to some water source. Swimming is waterfalls is amazing.

[Speaker 2] I imagine, do you portage when you go kayaking or stay in the same body of water ?


I'm skilled in two musical instruments.

[Speaker 2] You might be my man. Or my woman! I sing oldies. Think james taylor.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry! Do you play in your garage? I consider myself also a francophile.

[Speaker 1] I play in small coffee shops.

[Speaker 2] Ok, that will get you some exposure. Any paying gigs or crazy fans?

[Speaker 1] I make a little money, that is why I'm a custodian

[Speaker 2] Bathrooms provide great acoustics! So do corridors!

[Speaker 1] I will keep that in mind.

[Speaker 1] I love hearing spanish songs too.

[Speaker 2] I love the spanish songs that josh groban sings.
