I like shopping.

My dream car is a rolls royce ghost.

I currently work for a watch dealer.

My family does not support my career choices.

I often shop for shoes and watches.

I enjoy mountain biking as a hobby.
My father was a construction worker.
I am a huge coffee lover.
I hate the color pink.
I do not drink alcohol.

I enjoy browsing stores.

I have very expensive taste in vehicles.

I am employed at a time keeping shop.

Nobody believes that I should be a mechanic.

I usually browse footwear and accessories.

I exercise for fun.

Previously, my dad was a tradesman.

Nothing beats a hot cup of java.

I despise shades in the rose family.

Liquor is the worst thing I can imagine.

[Speaker 1] Hey, how are you? I was just daydreaming about my favorite car.

[Speaker 2] I'm good. Just came back from mountain biking.

[Speaker 1] I rode a bike to work today, speaking of which want to buy a watch?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I'd buy a cup of coffee though.

[Speaker 1] I should have been a barista... My dad makes fun of my career choice all the time.

[Speaker 2] Do you sell watches?

[Speaker 1] I do. But I spend all my paychecks on more watches. And shoes.

[Speaker 2] Interesting job. Do you drink?

[Speaker 1] I subside entirely on royal crown cola.

[Speaker 2] That is funny. My favorite drink is a cup of coffee

[Speaker 1] If I collect enough empty cans I can sell them for a rolls royce.

[Speaker 2] That would be a lot of cans.

[Speaker 1] It isn't like I have it any other way, I'm paid entirely in broken watches.

[Speaker 2] I don't understand that. How are you paid in broken watches?

I ride my bike to work.

My dad makes fun of my career choice. I sell watches. I spend my money on watches and shoes.

I love royal crown cola. I don't drink.

I like mountain biking.
My favorite drink is coffee.

[Speaker 1] Have you been mountain biking anywhere interesting lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, actually. I went to a nearby trail and spent a few hours biking! It was so much fun! What is your favorite pair of shoe you own?

[Speaker 1] I have two brands of shoes that I tend to prefer. Jack Wolfskin and Oboz for their trail running shoes. They're a cross between a hiking boot and a running shoe. Super comfortable, waterproof, and durable.

[Speaker 2] Wow, interesting. I'll definitely have to check those out! Have you thought about getting a car so you don't have to bike to work or do you enjoy riding?

[Speaker 1] I have thought about it but I'm not sure it would pay off with savings in the end. I like vintage cars a lot. Do you mean vintage or modern cars?

[Speaker 2] I didn't have a specific type in mind. Wow, I really enjoy vintage cars too...preferably Chevy Trucks, like the 51' Apache or the 71' Chevy C10 Sidestep! Those are beautiful pieces of American made trucks!

[Speaker 1] I want a classic Ford, myself. I tend to be a Ford person, not a Chevy one. Either a '57-67 old truck, or a '67 Ford Mustang GT. I prefer cars that I can fix, today's are too computerized. I'm not sure buying one would pay off with work 2 blocks away.

[Speaker 2] You're so right about that, they make things to wear out faster and price things to high these days. I can see why now riding your bike is much more efficient! How convenient to be that close to you job! Guess what I did today? I went and tried out one of Starbucks Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino...it was fantastic! But I think their White Iced Mocha Frappuccino is my favorite!

[Speaker 1] That sounds fantastic! I love Starbucks but don't get it very often because it can be expensive. I love their Frappuccino's the most. I'll have to try the Cinnamon Roll one! I wonder if they have it at the shop near my home. Do you have other things you like there?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, I love just about everything including their food selections. They have fantastic breakfast, they have a bacon gouda and egg sandwich that is just melts in your mouth! I tend to go to Starbucks to treat myself once every couple weeks. You're right it can be expensive. I am a nifty shopper and try to find coupons or discounts online before going. I meant to ask you, what kind of watches do you sell?

[Speaker 1] I usually buy gift cards when they're having bonus ones during the holiday season. Sometimes you can get $240 worth of gift cards there for $200 and such. I'm not as huge of a fan of their food, but I love trying all their drinks. I think the Refreshers are my favorite thing, along with the Cold Brew and the Frappuccinos. The new Kiwifruit/Starfruit Refresher is my new favorite. The Mango/Dragonfruit is a second.

[Speaker 2] I have seen the Mango/Dragonfruit but I haven't tried it. I have however, had the Kiwifruit/Starfruit Refresher it was pretty delicious! When Summertime comes I'll be interested in trying out the different refreshers.  I get in on those deals too, with the gift cards! I love free money!  I like gifting to friends and family too, they get excited when I share my good fortunes with them!

I ride my bike to work.

I love royal crown cola. I don't drink.

I prefer Jack Wolfskin and Oboz brands of shoes.

I have thought about getting a car; just not sure it is worth it. I like vintage cars. I want a classic Ford. I prefer cars that I can fix.

I don't get Starbucks often; I think it can be expensive. I will try their Cinnamon Roll. I buy Starbucks giftcards. The new Kiwifruit/Starfruit Refresher at Starbucks is my new favorite.

I like mountain biking.

I like vintage cars also; preferably Chevy Trucks.

My favorite drink is coffee. I prefer White Iced Mocha Frappuccino to Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino in Starbucks.

I love just about everything at Starbucks including their food. I give myself a treat at Starbucks every couple weeks. I am a nifty shopper; I try to find coupons and discounts online.

I have not tried the new Kiwifruit/Starfruit Refresher. I love free money. I like gifting to friends and family.

[Speaker 1] I have a buddy that has a classic Ford for sale; it looks like a good deal; I might buy it

[Speaker 2] It sounds exactly like what you were looking for! Will you need to do a lot of work to fix it up?

[Speaker 1] Yeah it needs a bit, but thats the fun of it.

[Speaker 2] Will you drive that to work instead of riding your bike?

[Speaker 1] With the way people drive around here, probably not. It will be my fun ride. Plus the more i save riding my bike, the more i can put into the car!

[Speaker 2] That's a smart idea! I bet you could negotiate with them to buy the car for a lower price since it will need some repairs. I always try to haggle on prices!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, wont have to haggle to much, he is a buddy, pretty much giving it to me at cost. Hey have you had the chance yet to try the kiwifruit refresher?

[Speaker 2] I went yesterday to try it, and you were right that it is delicious! Do you have any other drink recommendations I can try?

[Speaker 1] No, ive just been gettin that after a long bike ride. It really is great!

[Speaker 2] Where do you like to go when you ride your bike? Do you go on paved roads or more remote trails?

[Speaker 1] Mostly its just paved when i have to run errands, when i do have free time i love to ride the trails at the park.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun! I mostly ride my mountain bike on hiking trails. I like to check out difficult trails deep in the wilderness.

I ride my bike to work.

I love royal crown cola. I don't drink.

I have a friend who is selling a classic Ford.

I will probably not drive the car to work. I ride on paved roads when I do errands. When I have free time I like to ride trails at the park.

I like mountain biking.

I always haggle on prices.

[Speaker 1] Do you go mountain biking on your own or do you go in a group?

[Speaker 2] I usually go alone, but I've done it with a group before too.  There's pros and cons to both.  How about you? Do you typically ride the trails along?

[Speaker 1] It depends on the day, I have a few friends that like to ride so they go with me quite a bit. I am also part of a cycling club and we all ride together once a week.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that sounds a lot like me.  I like being part of a community, but there's also something very freeing about being out in the wilderness all alone.

[Speaker 1] Do you wear any type of device that allows people to track your location for safety? I'd be scared being too far out in the wilderness all alone

[Speaker 2] I'll typically have my cell phone with me, but otherwise I don't do anything special.  You'd be surprised how well your body will keep track of things like your heading and the distance you've traveled once you've practiced a little bit.

[Speaker 1] I will take your word for it! Have you tried any new drinks at Starbucks lately?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I tried the Iced Pineapple Matcha last week and it was amazing!  Still haven't gotten to try the Kiwi Starfruit Refresher, but maybe next time!  Have you ever tried the pineapple macha?

[Speaker 1] I haven't, it sounds really interesting. I will add it to my list of drinks to try! The Kiwi Starfruit Refresher is still my favorite, you won't be disappointed.

[Speaker 2] I'll be sure to try it soon!  It's been so hot out lately that it sounds delicious right now actually.  Have you still been biking to work?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have to take advantage of the nicer weather since I can't ride my bike to work in the winter. It helps me to feel like I've accomplished something first thing in the morning.

[Speaker 2] It must save you some money too! I feel like I've been paying an arm and a leg to gas up my truck lately.

I ride my bike to work.

I love royal crown cola. I don't drink.

I ride on paved roads when I do errands. I cannot ride my bike to work in the winter season. I like to ride my bike in the mornings because it makes me feel accomplished.

When I have free time I like to ride trails at the park. I have a few friends that like to go mountain biking and they go with me often. I am a part of a cycling club that meets and rides together once a week. I would be too scared to be too far out in the wilderness alone.

I like mountain biking.

I love just about everything at Starbucks including their food. I give myself a treat at Starbucks every couple weeks. I have not tried the new Kiwifruit/Starfruit Refresher.  I have recently tried the Iced Pineapple Matcha from Starbucks and liked it.

I am a nifty shopper; I try to find coupons and discounts online. I love free money. I like gifting to friends and family. I always haggle on prices.

I ride my mountain bike on hiking trails. I like to check out difficult trails in the wilderness. I prefer to go mountain biking alone, but I have done it with a group before. I prefer to be out in the wilderness alone. I only keep my cell phone with me when i'm out in the wilderness alone.

I have been spending too much money on gas for my truck.

[Speaker 1] Have you been on any solo trips in the wilderness since I last saw you?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't had the time. I've been so busy lately. What kind of watches do you like?

[Speaker 1] Rolex, Timex, Swatch old school watches.  Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking.  LOL!

[Speaker 2] Hey, I've heard that before. Funny! I have a friend who collects Swatch watches. She has tons of them.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, Swatch watches are colorful and fun.  Sometimes I feel like I should buy a long khaki trench coat and line the interior with watches and try to sell them to my customers that way.  I'm sure it will spark a laugh.

[Speaker 2] That is a cool idea! Certainly a fantastic way to shop. So what kind of bike to you have?

[Speaker 1] I have a Cyclamatic.  It's super cool.  Santa Claus helped me buy half of the price and I paid the other half.  I will ride down the street and laugh like Pee Wee Herman.  I do an excellent impersonation.

[Speaker 2] It sounds cool and you sound like a fun person! I just have a regular no name mountain bike but it does me well.

[Speaker 1] That's all that matters when it comes to bicycles.  Thank you,  I am a fun person most of the time.  Life is too short not to have fun.  Guess what song is running through my head?  Queens song "Bicycle."

[Speaker 2] Ha, ha! Love it! And you are right, life is too short not to have fun. I love spending time with family and friends just for that reason.

[Speaker 1] Indeed, I too spend alot of time with my family and friends.  It would be nice if we could get together in the near future.  Don't you agree?  We'll go riding and I'll try to do some bike tricks (without getting hurt, of course.)

[Speaker 2] Yes, I was thinking the same thing. We could stop at Starbucks and get a treat or two.

[Speaker 2] Tired. Spent all night trying to do algebra homework I don t understand.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, how old are you. I am 60, retiring in a few years.

[Speaker 2] 13. I have an older brother who is 17.

[Speaker 1] Nice, I love kids, I work as a librarian

[Speaker 2] I like our school librarian. She s also our soccer coach. Really nice.

[Speaker 1] That's great, does your family like to travel? I do

[Speaker 2] No. Not too much. I take a school bus but we mostly stay at home. Except thanksgiving

[Speaker 1] I've been to spain a few times, where do you go for thanksgiving?

[Speaker 2] My grandma frankie s house. My mom s mom who lives in ojai.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun, with lots of good food

[Speaker 2] Not really. She s a bad cook and we end up getting pollo loco a lot

[Speaker 1] Oh no! But you still have to love grandma lol

[Speaker 2] I love my grandma frankie. But she has whiskers that hurt my face when she hugs me

[Speaker 1] Haha, you sound like a great kid.

[Speaker 2] I guess. I only wish theda thorpe would go steady with me.

I love kids. I work as a librarian.

I like to travel. I've been to Spain.

I am taking algebra. I am 13 years old. I have a 17-year old brother.

I like our school librarian, who is also the soccer coach.

My family mostly stays at home. We go to visit my grandma Frankie in Ojai on Thanksgiving.

My grandma is not a good cook. My grandma has facial hair that hurts me when she hugs me.

I like someone named Theda Thorpe.

[Speaker 1] What's it like in Spain?

[Speaker 2] I have never been to Spain, i though you

[Speaker 1] How are you getting on with the algebra?

[Speaker 2] It is more in depth than regular math, where do you like to travel?

[Speaker 1] It is! I've been all over Europe and the East. Do you ever travel with your family? Other than thanksgiving at grama

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately no, maybe one day we will

[Speaker 1] Maybe you could go with Theda Thorpe one day?

[Speaker 2] Yes if hed want to go with me, do you have kids of your own

I'm 60 years old. I plan to retire in a few years. I work as a librarian.

I love kids.

I like to travel. I've been to Spain. I travel frequently. I have been all over Europe and the East.

I like someone named Theda Thorpe.

I have never visited Spain. I have never traveled with my family. I might travel with Theda Thorpe one day.

[Speaker 1] What places would you like to visit if you could?

[Speaker 2] I really want to back pack across Europe. But, the number one country in Europe I would love to go to is Spain. Where do you want to travel?

[Speaker 1] I've been to Spain a couple of times. It's a great destination. For my next trip, I'm thinking of going to Colombia. I've never been to South America. Where does Theda Thorpe want to travel?

[Speaker 2] Theda wants to go to Spain as well. She heard that Madrid is beautiful this time of year. Yeah, Colombia would be amazing. That should be the first place you go once you retire. How much are you looking forward to your retirement?

[Speaker 1] This month is a great time to visit Madrid. The weather is great and not as many tourist. That's a great idea and I am so very much ready for retirement. Have you thought about what you might want to do?

[Speaker 2] Well, I really have not thought about what I want to do because I am only 13 and wont be able to go any time soon unless my parents pay for the trip. I really don't think that will be the case. My parents are more worried about saving for my college tuition then paying for my travels. Although, I don't really blame them.

[Speaker 1] Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant what you are interested in for a career.

[Speaker 2] Oh, for my career??? I think I want to do something with Photography. It would be amazing to travel the world and take picture for a magazine like National Geographic.

[Speaker 1] Wouldn't that be the life?! Maybe as a backup, you could consider being a librarian. Books are filled with journeys.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that is true. I love reading books. By the way, do you have any new titles that I should read?

[Speaker 1] What genre do you enjoy?

[Speaker 2] I really like thrillers and Sci-Fi. But anything that is good

I love kids.

I like to travel. I travel frequently. I have been all over Europe and the East. I have been to Spain a couple of times. I am thinking of going to Colombia for my next trip. I am very much ready for retirement.

I like someone named Theda Thorpe.

I really want to backpack across Europe. The number one country I would like to visit is Spain. Theda also wants to travel to Spain.

My parents are more worried about saving for college tuition than paying for travelling.

I would like to work in photography as a career. I would love to travel the world and take pictures for magazines like National Geographic.

I like reading thrillers and sci-fi.

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking about writing my own children's book, after spending so long working with books it might be time to try and make my own.

[Speaker 2] Ooooh! That sounds so cool. Do you know what you want the book to have on the cover? I could take the cover photo maybe? For your book?

[Speaker 1] What a great idea! Do you take photos of all the places you go with your friends?

[Speaker 2] No, a bully named Rico threw my camera in the gutter last week so now I can only take “mind” pictures that I develop in my dreams.

[Speaker 1] That must have been very upsetting for you. Do you have a phone? Some of the newer ones take really good photos

[Speaker 2] I have an Obama phone. The camera has tape over it so that I can’t get hacked and trafficked.

[Speaker 1] Did you tell anyone about what Rico did? Maybe you could tell a teacher and they could help.

[Speaker 2] Rico is the teacher! I mean, his mom is so she might as well be her name is Patricia

[Speaker 1] How about your brother? Do you get on well with him?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I like him. He doesn’t pinch my stomach or ask me to do algebra. You want to marry him?

[Speaker 1] No, thanks, I am way too old for him. Would he be able to help you deal with Rico?

[Speaker 2] Oooh! That’s a good idea. Get my brother to take the abuse instead of me. But I don’t think my brother would take the abuse he would probably abuse Rico instead

I love kids.

I am thinking of writing a book.

I am an understanding person. I am a woman.

I like someone named Theda Thorpe.

I like reading thrillers and sci-fi.

I don't currently own a camera. I have a bully named Rico who broke my camera. My phone cannot take pictures. My bully is my teacher's son. I believe my brother will protect me.

[Speaker 1] Have you spoken to your brother about Rico? I really think you should get someone older involved. Him destroying your camera is a serious thing!

[Speaker 2] Yes I have, he said he will protect me. Do you think he will?

[Speaker 1] I sure hope he does. I am certainly concerned about the situation.

[Speaker 2] Do you plan to write book about bullying?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I was thinking of making a children's book about the danger of bullying. Do you think it will sell?

[Speaker 2] I think it would, especially if you include international settings. Have you ever been to Spain. I liek someone named Theda and they are from Spain

[Speaker 1] I have been to Spain! I have gone a few times and have fallen in love with the culture, its quite amazing. Will you ever go?

[Speaker 2] I plan to with Theda. How should I ask them out, is there something Spanish I could do for them?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure, I would just come right out and ask them. I don't think that they will say no!

[Speaker 2] Do you think they will backpack across Spain with me?

[Speaker 1] Well, I think it might be too much traveling for them! Maybe rent a car as much as you can.

[Speaker 2] Fair point. Do you plan on renting a car when you go to Colombia?


I like to ride horses.

My father is a farmer.

I like to listen to rock music while working.

I've three arabian horses.

I help tend the fields.

I've three dogs.

My father was a door to door salesman.

I like to watch the olympics.

I'm in an open polyamorous relationship.

I also have a dog walking business.

I love competing in 4 h contests.

My dad grows crops and tends to animals.

I need background noise when I work.

I've money for expensive pets.

I mow the lawn.

I love my chihuahua, my schnauzer, and my shih tzu.

My dad sold things for a living.

I enjoy athletic performances.

I'm not exclusive with my significant other.

I take care of animals for a living.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I am great. You have any animals?

[Speaker 1] Horses on the farm and you

[Speaker 2] Three dogs, I've a business dealing with dogs.

[Speaker 1] That is good what dogs name. Horses keep me busy.

[Speaker 2] I do no have names since one part of my job is walking them.

[Speaker 1] Walking is relaxing enjoy to relax after a long day

[Speaker 2] Well, I already walk a ton being a salesman.

[Speaker 1] What you like to sale and exercise is good

[Speaker 2] All kinds, but would rather be watching the olympics than walking.

[Speaker 1] Tv relax me after a long day outside

[Speaker 2] Yes, plus its a full house seeing as I'm in a polyamorous relationship.

[Speaker 1] Oh my a lot going on music is loud

[Speaker 2] Yes, but following my dads footsteps going door to door selling.

[Speaker 1] Money is always nice just enjoy the country life

[Speaker 2] Yes I agree you are soo right!

I care about other people.

I like animals.

I spend a lot of time with my horses.

I like walking. I like relaxing.

I like to exercise.

I like animals.

I am a salesman. I sell a variety of things. I prefer being inactive to being active.

Watching tv is a relaxing activity for me. I am in multiple relationships.

I idolized my dad.

[Speaker 1] How have sales been? Are your feet hurting from pounding the pavement?

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry I don't understand that metaphor, but if you are referring to my sales job as a salesman than yes. My feet don't hurt too much.

[Speaker 1] Yes, pounding the pavement refers to door to door sales but means sales in general. How do you balance your sales with your dog-walking job/

[Speaker 2] I try to sell my products to my customers while I walk the dogs. I meet people while walking and offer solutions to problems they might have while walking around the neighborhood. One product I offer my customers is fertilizer. I sell the fertilizer from the dogs I walk to people who have plants in their yards.

[Speaker 1] That's excessively clever! You're really created a synergy there. How about your personal life? Are you still seeing multiple people?

[Speaker 2] I do love connecting with multiple people as I feel more connected with the varying personalities of people. I like that people are so complicated from their wide range of interests and simple in how they feel about their interests. I'm addicted to people. So, yes, I am definitely seeing multiple people still. Thank you for asking.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any business partners in your dog-walking / fertilizer selling businesses?

[Speaker 2] My business partners are the dogs that I walk. I contribute a part of my income from that business to the parents of those dogs. This way they can afford food, healthcare and the occasional toy because they are so nice and good.

[Speaker 1] That's an interesting strategy. I didn't even know most people knew who the parents of their dogs are.

[Speaker 2] The parents are the humans who take care of them. I'm sorry for not clarifying this for you earlier. I love these dogs. They are so smart.

[Speaker 1] Oh, OK. I though you meant literal biological parents. Have you ever gone for a walk with them and forgotten or run out of waste bags?

[Speaker 2] Sometime I do forget, but in moments like that, I just move the fertilizer toward the grass area. This way the fertilizer can help nearby plants.

I care about other people.

I like animals. I spend a lot of time with my horses.

I like walking. I like relaxing.

I like to exercise.

I like animals. I operate a business having to do with dogs. I am a dog walker.

I idolized my dad.

I donate money to the owners of the dogs I walk. I care about other people.

[Speaker 1] I was inspired by your dog-waking job and put some flyers up in my neighborhood to start my own business.

[Speaker 2] You will be great at it, especially since you enjoy walking! Start a social media page too to get the word out.

[Speaker 1] Good idea! Maybe I can expand to taking care of people's horses one day, too. That would be amazing!

[Speaker 2] For sure! I bet that would pay even better than dog walking too.

[Speaker 1] I would hope so. The poop is a lot bigger to have to pick up, haha! Watched anything good on TV lately?

[Speaker 2] Very true. I finally started the new season of The Circle. Have yoy watched it?

[Speaker 1] I haven't, I've heard great things bout it though. Are you enjoying it? I could use a good new tv show to get lost in.

[Speaker 2] It's mindless TV. It is not exactly high quality, but it does the trick.

[Speaker 1] Sounds perfect. I've been stressed out a little and usually exercise does the trick but lately I've needed something a little... lazier, ha

[Speaker 2] What has gotten you frazzled? I have been too. Maybe it is the change of seasons.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure exactly, but let's go with that because having an answer makes me feel better! Sorry to hear you've been a bit high strung, too.

[Speaker 2] You have got that right! Doing anything fun this weekend?

I care about other people.

I like walking. I like to exercise. Watching tv is a relaxing activity for me. I believe it is important to enjoy life and not get too caught up in work.

I haven't seen The Circle. I need a new tv show to get lost in.

I have been stressed out lately. I usually exercise to de-stress.

I idolized my dad.

I believe it is important to enjoy life and not get too caught up in work as well. I have been stressed too.

[Speaker 1] I started watching the first episode of The Circle like you suggested, I'm enjoying it so far!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's good, isn't it? I had a great time with that series, looked forward to every episode. Didn't like some of the people, though...

[Speaker 1] yup i agree it was a little too close to people i know too, as an aside im starting my own business any tips on setting it up?

[Speaker 2] What kind of business is it? Have you developed a business plan yet?

[Speaker 1] its a animal grooming business for dogs mainly, maybe you could recommend it to your owners of the dogs you walk?

[Speaker 2] Sure, but you need to plan it out carefully *before* you start it. Too many businesses fail because the folks who start them run into unanticipated complications. You can't anticipate everything, but you'd be surprised how much you can....

[Speaker 1] that's sound advice, maybe you can help me get started with it next week? this weeks a little busy with the girlfriend, how are yours?

[Speaker 2] They're doing well. I have three relationships going right now, mostly casual. One is trending toward being a bit more involved. I really like this person too.

[Speaker 1] that's great news, does she like the same things as you? tell me a little more about her...

[Speaker 2] She's a professional, a therapist, loves her work, but only talks about it in generalities because of the confidentiality issues. We both love good books, films, and music, so we have a lot to share with each other.

[Speaker 1] she sounds like a perfect match for you, your dad would be proud

[Speaker 2] I loved my dad, but I don't worry whether he'd approve of my relationship choices.

I care about other people.

I started putting some flyers up in my neighborhood to start my own business. I could maybe expand to taking care of horses one day too. I am starting an animal grooming business for dogs mainly.

I need a new tv show to get lost in.

I just watched and enjoy watching The Circle. some of the people in the circle remind me of people I know, whom I don't like.

I have a girlfriend.

I like animals. I am a dog walker.I am a salesman. I sell a variety of things. I sell items to my neighbors. I prefer being inactive to being active. I know a little about setting up businesses.

I idolized my dad. my dad is no longer alive.

I started watching the new season of The Circle. I enjoy the series The Circle but did not like some of the people in it.

I am in 3 casual relationships, one of which might turn into something more serious.

I love books, films and music, like the girl I like.

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I broke up. how do you balance being in multiple relationships? I can't even be in one

[Speaker 2] None of my relationships are serious. They're all casual.

[Speaker 1] Do you have one girl that you like the most? I hope to marry my girlfriend one day.

[Speaker 2] There is one relationship that might turn into something serious, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that kind of commitment yet.

[Speaker 1] Haha it's a big commitment so you need to be sure. What do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy reading. I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings. I also like movies, music, and video games (particularly Minecraft).

[Speaker 1] Sounds cool. I really like exercise and watching TV. What other video games do you play?

[Speaker 2] Some of my favourites are Stardew Valley, Counterstrike, Slime Rancher, and Two Point Hospital.

[Speaker 1] Stardew valley is awesome. Have you heard of Graveyard Keeper? It's a similar premise but a darker concept.

[Speaker 2] I have but I've never played it before. It sounds pretty interesting.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it's super cool, it has a better story line and missions than Stardew Valley. What kind of movies do you like?

[Speaker 2] Mainly Sci-Fi. I really like the MCU.

[Speaker 2] I try to hit the gym regularly. I like the treadmill and rowing machine.

[Speaker 1] Ooh, I love the rowing machine. Are you going to school at all?

[Speaker 2] No. All done with school. Are you a student?

[Speaker 1] Yes, and I'm majoring in economics. What did you go for?

[Speaker 2] Marketing. So is it hard to keep up with a raw diet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it can get expensive. I recently bought a house and need to watch my spending.

[Speaker 2] Nice chatting with you. I'm going to get a short haircut now.

[Speaker 1] That sounds nice. I should definitely get a haircut soon as well.

[Speaker 2] How long is your hair now?

[Speaker 1] It is past my armpits, haha! It can get unruly. How long is yours?

I'm done with school. I majored in marketing.

I keep my hair short.

[Speaker 1] Looks like your haircut went well! Where did you go?

[Speaker 2] I actually have a lady that does it in her own home. She is amazing, and I always tip her an extra 50 if I get 100 likes on social media in less than a week when she does it

[Speaker 1] Are you a social media influencer?

[Speaker 2] Me? I don't think so? Like I do post a lot of positive reviews of stuff and have a LOT of followers. But I do it as a hobby. Like I don't get paid or anything.

[Speaker 1] How long have you been doing this as a hobby?

[Speaker 2] Since Myspace was a thing I guess. I can take you to my hair dresser whenever you want to get some of it chopped off, and she can make you look like a whole new person. Referrals get 50% off their first cut/style

[Speaker 1] It sounds fun to have fans to interact with on social media. I am certainly interested in this referral. I wonder what style I should go with?

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't call them fans haha. More like people that like to get good info haha. like half my myspace friends followed me over to FB and twitter. What kind of style have you always wanted but feared trying?

[Speaker 1] I've always been afraid of cutting my hair really short. Whatever I do though I'd like to keep my bangs.

[Speaker 2] Really? Wow that is such an old style! I rarely see bangs anymore! Maybe after you get your hair done, I can post you on my page and do like a TBT type hype post to get people to go get some bangs and post selfies haha. That would be a blast

[Speaker 1] I know but I just can't help loving what I love. That sounds like a lot of fun! I'd love to be a part of it!

[Speaker 2] If you want, I can fwd my info and you can follow my pages to see what kind of responses I get before I plaster you on my wall. That way you will be ready for the possible contacts because it happens.

I love to work out. I eat a raw diet. I love the rowing machine.

I'm an economics student.

I recently bought a house.

My favorite band is metallica.

I post a lot of positive reviews on social media. I have a lot of followers. I do it as a hobby. I have been active on social media since the time of Myspace. I have friends from myspace that followed me over to FB.

I rarely see bangs anymore.

[Speaker 1] I have decided to go with your hairdresser; I really want the 50% off discount; when can you refer me to her?

[Speaker 2] I will talk to her today and giver her your info.

[Speaker 1] I appreciate that. I'm so overdue a haircut it's not even funny. I look terrible!

[Speaker 2] How short do you think you want it? She is really good at shorter haircuts. I love mine.

[Speaker 1] I definitely need a lot cut off, as nervous as it makes me... I don't think I've had really short hair since I was a kid, but it'll be good to have a change!

[Speaker 2] Good thing about hair is it always grows back. I have had a few bad cuts but only took a couple months to grow it out.

[Speaker 1] That's always good to remember. Did you get enough likes to tip her the last time you got it cut?

[Speaker 2] I did. She was very grateful. Anything to help local business.

[Speaker 1] That's good. Do you think I should get bangs? I feel like they're kind of unique lately

[Speaker 2] Yes! That would be very unique. I don't know why people don't do bangs anymore! Maybe get some hi lights or low lights.

[Speaker 1] Good idea! Might aswell get color done while I'm in the chair, lol. Hi lights for the summer are always nice!

[Speaker 2] Just make sure you get a clarifying shampoo if you swim in the pool alot. Always turns my hair green without it.

I'm an economics student.

I recently bought a house.

My favorite band is metallica.

I keep my hair short. I just got a haircut. I tip my hairdresser if i get 100 likes on social media. I have experienced bad hair cuts. I get green hair without clarifying shampoo.

I rarely see bangs anymore. I like bangs.

[Speaker 1] What brand of clarifying shampoo do you have?

[Speaker 2] I use Biotop Professional, but it is very expensive.

[Speaker 1] Interesting, do you think it's worth it?

[Speaker 2] To me ? A lot. Since, if I don't use a clarifying shampoo form time to time, I get green hair.

[Speaker 1] Right, I understand! My hair is going grey, do you think it would help that?

[Speaker 2] Do they become grey because of external factors like dust ? Clarifying shampoo are aggressive cleaners, whatever is in your hair, it will get out with a clarifying shampoo.

[Speaker 1] No just getting old I think! What makes your hair green then?

[Speaker 2] I color my hair blonde. So it changes colors when it gets old.

[Speaker 1] Ah! What is your natural colour?

[Speaker 2] It is brown, the most average brown that you have ever seen. I like to be blonde, but it makes my hair porous, dust gets in it and my hair becomes green, thus my need for clarifying shampoo.

[Speaker 1] I have learnt something new today! It's good that you've found a colour that you like.

[Speaker 2] And you, do you change your hair color ?

I'm an economics student.

I recently bought a house.

I need a haircut. My hair is past my armpits. I am afraid of cutting my hair really short. I like to keep my  bangs. I want hilights in my hair. My hair is going grey. I am getting old.

My favorite band is metallica.

I keep my hair short. I tip my hairdresser if i get 100 likes on social media. I have experienced bad hair cuts. I get green hair without clarifying shampoo. I use Biotop Professional clarifying shampoo. I color my hair blonde. My natural hair color is brown.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for a living? I know you said you majored in marketing.

[Speaker 2] I actually work for a non profit company. I love it. It makes my life more meaningful.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow that sounds really interesting. What kind of work does the company do?

[Speaker 2] We basically provide services to the general public in need of help emotionally, physically, financially etc.

[Speaker 1] That's really amazing. People really need that kind of help. I'd love to do something like that once I graduate.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is. Hey, so what kind of work outs do you do?

[Speaker 1] I like the rowing machine the best for my cardio. When I'm doing weights I usually just do a bunch of dumbbell workouts. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Well I love the rower too. I like the stair stepper as well. I want to get a home gym system.

[Speaker 1] I think it would be so much eaiser. Sometimes I feel like working out but don't want to actually drive to the gym.

[Speaker 2] Totally get it! I live in a nice apartment that has a fitness center and I still don't get too motivated to go. Are you loving your new house?

[Speaker 1] I love it. Sitting out on the porch has been so relaxing when I'm stressed

[Speaker 2] How big is it? I would like to buy a house soon.


I'm a doctor.
My daughter is a child prodigy.
I'm now looking for a new job.
I enjoy going to the park.

I have been working since I was sixteen years old.

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

My favorite band is aerosmith.

My favorite food is mexican food.

My job is a gynecologist.

My little girl is a genius.

I'm seeking a different employment opportunity.

I like being outdoors.

I have been employed for awhile.
I enjoy car shows and wresting.
I could listen to classic rock all day.
I could eat taco bell all day.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Hi, I am doing well, how are you?

[Speaker 1] Can't complain. I had a wonderful afternoon in the park.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is nice. I like being in parks especially in nice weather

[Speaker 1] Yes. The weather is perfect here now. What do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I like to watch nascar racing and sometimes ufc

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun! I've time to do that since I'm out of work right now.

[Speaker 2] How long have you been working at your current place?

[Speaker 1] I worked as a doctor in the er for 15 years.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's nice, I like to be in the medical field someday.

[Speaker 1] And what do you do?

[Speaker 2] I work as an usher at an orchestra theatre since I was sixteen years old

[Speaker 1] I'd love working near music.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is nice. Do you have a favorite band?

I like being in parks.

I like to watch nascar and UFC.

[Speaker 1] Do you think the theater you work at is hiring now?

[Speaker 2] I can ask next time I go for my shift. Have you applied to any other places recently?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I tried to get into a local clinic, keep your fingers crossed! Or I could flip burgers lol

[Speaker 2] Lol! I'm sure it's not as hard as being a doctor, but a job is a job.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the hospital cut back on staff for some stupid reason and since I only had 15 years in I was let go :( Maybe I will open a private practice, who knows?

[Speaker 2] That's rough but everything happens for a reason. A private practice sounds like a great idea. You can make your own hours, and have more time to watch UFC with me! :)

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome, I don't get a lot of TV time but the UFC sounds exciting lol

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's so exciting. Last night's fight was great. Total knockout in one round. You should definitely tune in next time.

[Speaker 1] I'll have to do that when my husband isn't hogging the TV haha He likes to watch his crime dramas after work

[Speaker 2] Lol yeah husbands tend to do that. You could always catch a movie instead, I can get you some free passes to the theatre. One of the perks of working there for so long.

[Speaker 1] That'd be great, I haven't been to the theater in a few years! I got to have nachos, though. I love nachos. It's not a movie theater experience without 'em

[Speaker 2] Oh, nachos are a necessity! The cheese dip we have is so good, you need to try it.

I'm out of work. I worked as a doctor in the er for 15 years. I applied at a local clinic. I was let go from the hospital I work at since I only had 15 years in. I might open a private practice.

I don't get a lot of TV time.

My husband watches his crime dramas after work.

I like being in parks.

I like to watch nascar and UFC.

[Speaker 1] I just found out I will be free next weekend and can come over so we can watch UFC together

[Speaker 2] Oh hey, that's great! Maybe some nacho cooking will have to happen as well. What other toppings do you like on nachos besides cheese? I love beef, beans (black or refried), tomatoes, maybe some black olives...the possibilities are endless.

[Speaker 1] I usually like mine spicey, would you mind if we threw on some jalapenos?

[Speaker 2] Hurray! I like spicy as well! Any other preferences? On another note, my cousin saw that there are EMT and paramedic classes opening up soon! I'm thinking about applying.

[Speaker 1] No i think that would be great, i trust your taste ha. Thats awesome on the classes, you should definitely take them, i know you really want to pursue a career in that field.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I don't think I could be a physician. I like excitement. Plus even if you get a jerky patient (I'd guess they're usually too busy being sick) they're only gonna be around you for a bit.

[Speaker 1] True, i know there is a lot of down time but when the action happens it can get intense. You do great in situations like that!

[Speaker 2] Intense is good. As long as I get a good partner to work with! Any progress for you on the work front?

[Speaker 1] Oh my i almost forgot to tell you, the clinic called back for an inperson interview! Fingers crossed!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What kind of a clinic? Is it like an urgent care? Or more like a primary care clinic?

[Speaker 1] Its urgent, like you, i love the excitement of helping people under pressure.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. People at the theater aren't exactly under pressure. Although it's great being able to see the new movies as they come out. Any new ones you're interested in?

I'm out of work. I worked as a doctor in the er for 15 years. I was let go from the hospital I work at since I only had 15 years in. I might open a private practice.

I don't get a lot of TV time.

I have not been to the theater in a few years. I love nachos. I like spicy nachos.

I have an interview at a local clinic. It is an urgent care clinic. I like the excitement of helping people under pressure.

I like being in parks.

I like to watch nascar and UFC.

I love beef, beans and tomatoes on my nachos. I like spicy nachos too.

[Speaker 1] My interview at the clinic went really well, I'm just waiting to hear back now, keep your fingers crossed for me!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I'm glad you think it went well! I'm planning to send my application to the EMT program next week, any advice before I do it?

[Speaker 1] Be as detailed as you can be about your interest(s) in the field. They want dedicated people, because the work is difficult and stressful on the body and mind.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I can certainly make sure that I'm detailed.  Thinking about my app, I'm worried about seeming wishy-washy and wish I'd been on a more consistent path since I was younger.

[Speaker 1] Your personal history is important, but not as important as you might think in EMT work. What are you concerned about?

[Speaker 2] I feel like my work experience doesn't really show much interest in the medical field.  Like, I've really loved being in the orchestra but I feel like it doesn't help me break into the medical field at all.

[Speaker 1] Ah, no, that's not an issue. They want live, dedicated individuals...

[Speaker 2] Okay, thank you, I know you're the expert here so I will stop worrying so much!  I'll just stay optimistic and try to present myself with enthusiasm.

[Speaker 1] The good folks who hire EMTs want people who are deeply interested in the work and who will be trainable and sustainable. You'll know pretty quickly whether or not you're cut out for the work. So don't worry about it. Apply and follow through. That's my professional advice.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good, maybe if you get this job at the clinic I'll be able to find work their too.  It would be awesome to know someone at work before as I'm getting started.

[Speaker 1] Probably not. You're going to be busier than you've ever been before as an EMT. And I suspect you'll love the work. If you have any doubts going forward, confide in me, and I'll give you my best advice...

[Speaker 2] Sage advice for sure.  What's next for you if you don't get the clinic job? Still considering your own practice?

I don't get a lot of TV time.

I recently had an interview at a local clinic. It is an urgent care clinic. I like the excitement of helping people under pressure. I am familiar with the line of work as an EMT.

I like being in parks.

I like to watch nascar and UFC.

I'd like to be in the medical field someday. I am thinking of applying for EMT and paramedic classes. I don't think I could be a physician. I've been an usher at an orchestra theatre since age 16. I can get free passes to the theatre. I am worried that my history doesn't support the line of work as an EMT. I would like to work with someone I already know.

[Speaker 1] I have heard back from the clinic concerning my interview and I got the job.

[Speaker 2] Wooow, that's so nice to hear. How far is it from where you stay?

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I'm so happy to have a job.  It's only fifteen minutes from my house.  I'm sure your local community college has EMT classes.  You can do it!

[Speaker 2] Could you inform me on how long the training lasts, and what it takes to join the institution.

[Speaker 1] The training for EMT's is no more than two semesters long.  You'll have to pass the EMT test.  I'm sure you'll do just fine.  How are things at the theatre? Have you seen any good movies lately?

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the information. I'll look for suitable options around, and I will enroll. There is this TV show I have loved so much, called "The Blacklist." It is usually broadcast on NBC, though you can still find it on Netflix.

[Speaker 1] Interesting, the Blacklist sounds like a list that someone shouldn't be on.  Is it a scary show?

[Speaker 2] Haha.. You have the idea. It is about some criminal concierge who has been granted immunity by the FBI, and who is their Confidential Informant, giving them valuable information about other criminals who are a threat to national security. So, this guy has listed the criminals in what he calls The Blacklist. It is not scary though. Have you watched Chernobyl?

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't watched Chernobyl.  All I can think of when I hear that name is the terrible nuclear accident.  :(

[Speaker 2] That's it. It is a mini-series released by HBO, that simulates the nuclear accident in '86, at Chernobyl, Ukraine. It is some sort of documentary, and interesting to watch :(

[Speaker 1] Awwww, sounds so sad.  I try not to watch sad events although if it's part of history maybe I should watch it.  We certainly don't want history to repeat itself.

[Speaker 2] Exactly. It's a very emotional show. I look forward to meeting you soon so that we can talk more about your experience as an EMT.

[Speaker 1] I used to be an alcoholic so no can do

[Speaker 2] I tend to stick to my water only. Soda is worse!

[Speaker 1] That's what everyone should strive for

[Speaker 2] As long as I have my french fries!

[Speaker 1] Well everyone can cheat once in a while

[Speaker 2] Of course. Now all of this has made me hungry.

I live on a horse farm. My family helps take care of the horses.

I like history.

[Speaker 1] How have the horses been lately? Are you able to find some free time to study history?

[Speaker 2] They are very good and enjoying the warm weather, I like to read history as well but never visited Europe, what part of USA do you live?

[Speaker 1] I live in the west coast with near to pacific ocean, you should start thinking of travelling more to explore the world like Columbus.

[Speaker 2] Well its a long time to my retirement so I would work hard to save money, how is the cruise trips like aren't you scared of the deep ocean?

[Speaker 1] The cruise is an amazing experience and you should try sometime.

[Speaker 2] I am more of a person of farmland and not been to ocean a lot, but I also live fish as a meal.

[Speaker 1] What type of fish you like as i like Salmon the most.

[Speaker 2] Where I live we get more of fish from the lakes or the river only.

[Speaker 1] Well its been a very nice day outside and I am again thinking to go to the beach and have some fun.

[Speaker 2] Well this is one of the benefit of living near the beach, so what part of Europe is best to visit?

[Speaker 1] I would say to visit the Italy and Rome as it has a lot of history associated to it and you will enjoy.

[Speaker 2] That is amazing as I always liked the Roman Empire and imagined how the structures are built.

I love Europe. I want to visit Europe at least twice a year. I like visiting Italy and Rome.

I love fish and chips. I like eating salmon the most.

I am retired. I don't want to work.

I don't travel much.

I like history. I have never visited Europe. I'm interested in the Roman Empire.

I have many years left before retirement.

I like eating fish. I prefer land over ocean.

I live near lakes and rivers.

[Speaker 1] I booked a cruise in the next few months.

[Speaker 2] Where are you planning on going? I'd love to go to Europe!

[Speaker 1] Well actually, I booked a European cruise. It is going to be so amazing. We are traveling through the Mediterranean Ocean and making several port stops.

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful. I think you will get your fill of fish while your traveling.

[Speaker 1] I really hope so, I have heard they have some of the best fish in the world. Hey so, how are your horses doing?

[Speaker 2] They are all pretty happy. They are out grazing in the field right now. They get pretty frisky this time of day and need space to gallop around.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense but, letting them out to pasture is truly the best thing for them. Do plan on taking them riding anytime soon?

[Speaker 2] I like to go near dusk and watch the sun set with my favorite horse. He looks for me every day when it's near that time like clock work.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool. I would love to own more horses but, they are a lot of work. It is so nice that your family is willing to help take care of them. Well, should plan a riding trip together some day?

[Speaker 2] I would love for you to come out! I've got a guest house you can stay if you'd like. Make a weekend trip.

[Speaker 1] Yeah for sure. I will just have to make sure the horse trailer is serviced. It has been a while since I have had the trailer on the highway. But, glad I will not have to find a hotel... lol.

[Speaker 2] I have a few horses I'd like you to meet. They really have their own personalities and love people.

I am retired. I don't want to work.

I need to feed the horses and start cooking. I would love to own more horses. I have to get my horse trailer serviced.

I live in the West Coast of the USA. I've been on many cruises. I have booked a European cruise.

I don't travel much.

I live near lakes and rivers. I like to go out at dusk and watch the sun set with my favorite horse. I have a guest house.

[Speaker 1] How many horses do you guys have on your farm now?

[Speaker 2] We have 6 right now, one is a beautiful black racing horse and the others are more ordinary.

[Speaker 1] Does it have ever been in a real race ?

[Speaker 2] Yes, a while ago! He didn't win unfortunately but came a good third

[Speaker 1] How do you train a horse to race ?

[Speaker 2] Well it needs to be the right kind of breed to start with, like from a line of race horses. And then you do lots of training with it to keep it fit and healthy and teach it to run!

[Speaker 1] So training a horse is a full time job, did you train it yourself ?

[Speaker 2] It can be if you want to be really good at it! I did but my family helped a lot too, my parents have always done it.

[Speaker 1] Do you like to train horse for racing ? I don't think I could do it, I would not want to hurt my horses.

[Speaker 2] I do but I don't think I would like it if I was trying to be the very best at it - I think the horses enjoy a bit of more casual racing but it can get a bit brutal when lots of money is involved.

[Speaker 1] That is the thing that is bothering me horse racing, it is very artificial. Humans never needed horse races for their survival. And it can be dangerous for the horses.

[Speaker 2] That's true! It's sad what can happen when betting and money gets involved.

I am retired. I don't want to work.

I don't travel much.

I live on a small horse farm. My family helps take care of the horses. My horses are out grazing in the field. I have 6 horses on the farm include 1 beautiful black racing horse. The racing horse came in third place in a race. My parents has always trained race horses.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a horse that is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] Yeah my black horse named Petey is my favorite. We ride nearly every evening and watch the sunset.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing. My favorite horse is a thoroughbred named Charlie.

[Speaker 2] That’s a nice name. Thinking of getting more horses any time soon? I know of someone who is looking to sell a few horses.

[Speaker 1] I am interested in buying some. Can you get me their info?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I will have them give you a call some time next week. He has several horses for sale you might be interested in.

[Speaker 1] Great, thank you so much. So what's your favorite fish?

[Speaker 2] I like walleye. I order it whenever I go out for fish. What is yours?

[Speaker 1] Besides salmon, grouper is my other favorite. Too bad I don't get to eat it very often.

[Speaker 2] I think that restaurant down by the river has grouper. I never tried it but I heard good things. I think the Restaurant is called “Noisy Louie’s”

[Speaker 1] I've never heard of it. I have grouper a lot when I go on my cruises.

[Speaker 2] Are you planning any vacations any time soon?


I enjoy playing casino games.

I might be a bird.

I enjoy cooking on my patio over an open fire.

I no longer work due to my age.

I'm a vegetarian.

I get annoyed with my roommate sometimes.

I'm attending school currently for my nursing degree.

In order to afford tuition I serve drinks in the evening.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today

[Speaker 2] I am hood. Thanks for asking.

[Speaker 1] What do you like to do in your spare time

[Speaker 2] I am going to college so not a lot of spare time. You?

[Speaker 2] What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I retired so I do nothing

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I work at a bar at night to help while in school.

[Speaker 1] I like to bbq alot

[Speaker 2] I love bbq except chicken. I do not like chicken.

[Speaker 1] I fly south in the winter

[Speaker 2] Do you live with anyone?

[Speaker 1] I'm a loner so no

[Speaker 2] I just got an apartment with my best friend.

[Speaker 1] Is your friend a guy

[Speaker 2] No. It isn't a guy.


My father played violin professionally.

I am a piano teacher on the side.

I volunteer at the homeless shelter.

I enjoy exploring new parts of the city.

My family has raised horses for a generations.

I want to be a lawyer.

I was raised on a horse farm.

I'm from a small town.

I dream of moving to the city.

My dad is a musician.

I enjoy teaching music.

I enjoy giving back to my community.

I like seeing different places in a town.

We have had thoroughbreds for ages.

I have interest in the legal system.

I spent my childhood around barn animals.

The city I'm from has a very low population.

I want to live in an urban area.

[Speaker 1] Hello what are you up to this evening?

[Speaker 2] I love horses we done this for generations

[Speaker 1] My family is more into string instruments than farming.

[Speaker 2] I am fine, being a lawyer is my dream.

[Speaker 1] Good luck! I see some cool law firms while exploring my city

[Speaker 2] I see, I grew up in ta horse farm in a small town,

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I grew up listening to my father play the violin in the symphony

[Speaker 2] That is why I want to move to the city it is my dream

[Speaker 1] I love the city. I help out at the homeless shelter on the weekends

[Speaker 2] You are lucky, they only love horses

[Speaker 1] I hope you make it to the city someday. It is great to explore

[Speaker 2] That's so sweet of you, I bring my horses to the children hospital once

[Speaker 1] Haha was it able to fit in the elevator?

[Speaker 2] Yes, the city has many great places and people

[Speaker 1] Wait so you fit a horse in an elevator? I need to hear more about this

[Speaker 2] Yes, it did, we brought in a mini pony the kids loves it.

My family plays stringed instruments. My father played violin in the symphony.

I love horses. My family has worked with horses for generations. I grew up on a horse farm in a small town.

My dream occupation is to be a lawyer.

[Speaker 1] I was telling the kids at the shelter about your pony and they wanted to ask if you could send a photo I could show them.

[Speaker 2] Of course. I've got tons of photos with the kids at the children's hospital riding on him. I wonder if the homeless shelter would let me bring the pony over one day.

[Speaker 1] So how do the children at the children's hospital like the mini pony?

[Speaker 2] They loved him. They laughed and giggled. Smiles all around... except for one shy little boy who wouldn't come close

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, and yes, I would love to see a photo!

[Speaker 2] I'll send over a few good ones once I'm back at my computer. How old are most of the kids at the shelter where you volunteer?

[Speaker 1] Most of the women there are teenagers.  They are homeless and pregnant.  I really enjoy working there.  I like to think I am making a difference.  I would imagine you feel the same with the kids where you volunteer.

[Speaker 2] I try to cheer up the kids, but I don't think I make any lasting impressions. Your work seems much more fulfilling.

[Speaker 1] I hope my work helps them.  So are you still wanting to become a lawyer?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. If only I won the lottery so I could afford the tuition...

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness.  I can only imagine.  If I won the lottery, I think I would do some traveling.

[Speaker 2] Where would you like to go?

My dream occupation is to be a lawyer.

I've brought my mini pony to the children's hospital to volunteer. I often let sick children ride the horses.

I need money for school.

[Speaker 1] How are the horses doing?

[Speaker 2] My favorite horse, Jericho, unexpected died two days ago. I'm pretty broken up about it.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. Do you know what happened?

[Speaker 2] The necropsy showed that Jericho ate some toxic stuff. Can you distract me by regaling some funny stories from your volunteering?

[Speaker 1] I wish. It's been nothing but depressing stories at the shelter lately. I still love what I do, but times are really hard for everyone. Again, I'm so sorry about Jericho.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure he's enjoying his big open pasture in the sky. I'm sorry the shelter has been just depressing lately. Can I ask why you decided to volunteer with the homeless?

[Speaker 1] My father was actually homeless for a short amount of time, and it really stuck with me when he told me all about it. Just how ignored and invisible he felt, and so I wanted to make sure no one else felt that way.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, what a personal connection. It must be tough and emotional. You are doing good work. How long have you been volunteering?

[Speaker 1] A few years now. It's definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions but I'd recommend it to anyone! Have you been to the kid's hospital lately?

[Speaker 2] I'm actually going later today. Those kids love ponies. It'll be a good distraction for me.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. Jericho will be watching down happily wherever he is. Did you ever take him with you?

[Speaker 2] No, I didn't take him to the hospital just the mini pony, Tina. I'm happy I won't have that association. Jericho actually hated kids. Have you been horseback riding?

I love the city. I volunteer at a homeless shelter on the weekends. I like where I volunteer. My father used to be homeless. I have been volunteering for a few years.

My dream occupation is to be a lawyer.

I need money for school.

My favorite horse died recently.

[Speaker 1] I was talking to a friend an hour ago regarding their volunteer experience at a charity they help out for at times, and they told me the funniest thing that ever happened to them at a volunteer event. I think it would help cheer you up, I would be glad to tell you it if you are interested.

[Speaker 2] Please do tell me! This week has been very rough for me.

[Speaker 1] Right, so they were talking to one of the people there, thinking that it was another volunteer. And they managed to spill their drink all over them! Embarrassing, but it turned out that it was actually the chief donor!

[Speaker 2] Haha, it is funny to see that even the rich and well-connected are capable of embarrassing themselves.  Sometimes when I think about being a lawyer I have this picture of the other lawyers as inhuman, but really they are probably just normal people with a higher paying job.

[Speaker 1] Yes exactly! I think he might have donated a bit more to make up for it though so it was all good. That's definitely true, everyone is human

[Speaker 2] That would have been very nice of him if he did!  That was a wonderful story, and it does cheer me up a bit.  Anything else that's interesting happen to you lately?

[Speaker 1] Ah good! Not so much to be honest, i've just been working really. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I've just been keeping busy with the horses while trying to keep my mind off of the one that recently passed.  Now that it's springtime they're starting to be much more active, which is a nice distraction for me.

[Speaker 1] That's great! How are they doing? Do you get to ride them much?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm lucky to be able to ride them all the time!  The little ones are doing great too, it's so exciting seeing how quickly some of them grow up.  You can come by and visit them anytime if you'd like!

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear it! Where are you located?

[Speaker 2] The farm is about 35 miles outside the city, so it'd be a bit of trip for you.  But I promise you'll love it if you've got any interest at all in horses!

Nothing else interesting has happened to me recently. I have just been working.

My dream occupation is to be a lawyer. I want to move to the city and partake in cultural experiences.

I need money for school.

My favorite horse died recently. I had a rough week and been feeling down. Horses are a nice distraction for me. I ride horses frequently.

I work on a farm 35 miles outside the city.

[Speaker 1] Hey I would love to come your farm this weekend would that be possible?

[Speaker 2] Actually, I would love that. I could use a distraction after this week. Do you want to ride one of the horses?

[Speaker 1] I would love to! I'm an amateur, haven't ridden since I was younger, so would love to do an easy ride.

[Speaker 2] We have some really gentle horses here, so you could definitely have an easy ride! We could ride together on the trail. It's a nice view.

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect! We could even do a picnic along the trail? I can bring a cooler with some snacks and drinks if you want.

[Speaker 2] That works for me! There's a nice lake where we can have the picnic and let the horses take a break. I imagine it'll be nice after a long week of volunteering, right?

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! That will really be a great way to end the week. Do you have any favorite picnic foods or drinks?

[Speaker 2] Nothing in particular. Maybe some good ole' PB&J and some water. It'll be nice for the horses to have a distraction too, I think. They seem depressed since Jericho's passing.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good, I'll bring that and maybe some chips. I'm sure it's been really hard for the horses (and you). It's a tough time.

[Speaker 2] I'll bring some apples and sugar cubes for the horses. I'm sure they'll appreciate some snacks, they always do. Would you like to feed one of them when you're here?

[Speaker 1] I would love to. I was always too afraid to when I was younger, but had wanted to. Are your horses gentle or do you have any that have a bit of a rebellious streak?

[Speaker 2] Jericho was a big rebel; a few of the other horses are rebels too, so we don't have those horses work with the children. They're wonderful horses, just stubborn! I love all my horses.

[Speaker 2] I am sure that can be difficult. What type of doctor are you?

[Speaker 1] Labor and delivery its hard but rewarding

[Speaker 2] What do you do for fun when your not working?

[Speaker 1] I live in cali so I go to disney a lot

[Speaker 2] That's a good way to reduce stress from work. My wife is doctor as well.

[Speaker 1] That's nice I also like to read

[Speaker 2] I read many tennis related books because I play tennis professionally.

[Speaker 1] Wow how long have you done that

[Speaker 2] I have been professional for 20 years.

[Speaker 1] That's so great do you travel and compete

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately I travel all the time. It can be tough on my family.

[Speaker 1] What was your first job as a teen.

[Speaker 2] My very first job was in a restaurant kitchen. Quickly learned it wasn't for me and got into music. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I actually didn't have a first job when I was younger. I have been into sports as long as I can remember.

[Speaker 2] Fair enough. How do you support yourself through sports?

[Speaker 1] I have been blessed to have parents that supported me. Sports helped me with scholarships for college. My parents were more interested in my education then me working.

[Speaker 2] That's good. I would have liked to have focused on my education but I needed to work to support myself.

[Speaker 1] That's unfortunate. I never took my opportunities for grants. Where do you work now?

[Speaker 2] I am currently working as a promoter for a few bands and artists. It is really fun.

[Speaker 1] That sounds awesome! I am happy to hear you are able to enjoy your job!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am fortunate enough to have a job I enjoy. There is nothing else than having to work a job you hate just to survive.

[Speaker 1] I can only imagine! I remember you saying you really like Aerosmith, got a favorite song by them?

[Speaker 2] I honestly don't think I could choose. They have so many good songs and albums. DO you have a favorite?

I have one hat.

I like UFC. I like classic rock.

I started work at 16. My first job was in a restaurant kitchen, but I soon quit. I didn't go to college because I needed to work to support myself.

I work as a promoter. I have a few bands and artists as clients. I really enjoy my job.

[Speaker 1] I think I just saw one of your bands on TV - great work, Mr Promoter!

[Speaker 2] Cool, which band was it that you saw?

[Speaker 1] I think it was the Aerosmith cover band you promote. What were they called again?

[Speaker 2] I think the one you're talking about is called Aerospace. They also play electronic music so I think you'd like them too.

[Speaker 1] Yeah i loved that they mixed that into it as well. I can see them going pretty far!

[Speaker 2] I hope so, it would definitely be a good thing for my career if they blew up and were successful.

[Speaker 1] Oh i believe you will get there real soon. You always work so hard. Oh, did you cath the last UFC fight?

[Speaker 2] I missed that one, did you see it? who won the fight?

[Speaker 1] Roberts clobbered him in the third round. Was so quick. You didnt miss much ha.

[Speaker 2] UFC fights can be over fast sometimes but they're always fun to watch. Is UFC your favorite sport to watch?

[Speaker 1] Are there any other bands you're working with currently?

[Speaker 2] I have worked with Cheap Trick for the last few years. I normally just get the older bands that are getting back out on tour, but I'm just starting out.

[Speaker 1] That is still exciting, hopefully it will help open more and more doors for you. Is this something you see yourself doing for a long time?

[Speaker 2] Yeah the job is really entertaining and a lot of fun. It doesn't feel like going to work at all and that's the best thing I can hope for. Did you watch the fights last weekend on UFC?

[Speaker 1] No, I am so bummed I missed them but I was out of town training. Did you watch them?

[Speaker 2] I missed them too. I was out to eat at that Mexican place near my house, and we ended up staying out afterwards and having a few margaritas. It was a good night though. Did you get any new hats since the last time I saw you? It seems every time I see you, you have a new one.

[Speaker 1] Of course! I have gotten several new hats since the last time we saw each other. You should really come check out my collection some time!

[Speaker 2] I don't know how you have room for all of those in your place, and how you keep them organized with your cats running around all day.

[Speaker 1] I have a whole room dedicated to them and even several storage containers under my bed and down in the basement.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. How do you decide which one you are going to wear when you go out?

[Speaker 1] Typically I go with something newer that I want to show off. I also look at what hats best match my outfit, but those that I have in storage containers don't come out too often anymore.

[Speaker 2] Maybe some time you can help me pick out a new hat. I still have just the one. You always have ones that are interesting and unique.

I have cats.

I like vanilla ice cream.

I work as a promoter. I'm early in my career as promoter. I have a few bands and artists as clients. I really enjoy my job. I work with Cheap Trick. I am new to my line of work.

[Speaker 1] My cats just knocked over my tv!

[Speaker 2] oh no! I hope it's not broken!!

[Speaker 1] It looks like there are few dead pixels in the corner of the screen, but otherwise it works okay. I am so unlucky! I do not want to buy a new TV right now!

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. What were they doing to knock it over?

[Speaker 1] I was watching TV and the Owl from America's Best came on in a commercial and they went nuts! They jumped at the TV to try and catch him!

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to laugh but that had to be funny to watch, even if the end result wasn't funny.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I found myself laughing too, until I realized that my TV might be broken. What are you cats' names?

[Speaker 2] I have Bridget, Shaggy, and Freckles.

[Speaker 1] Those are some cute names. Have they ever knocked down or broken anything in your house?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, they've knocked plenty of stuff off counters, shelves, and tables. thankfully nothing too expensive like a tv though. what are your cats names?

[Speaker 1] I have an orange cat named Calvin, he's the wild one that knocked over my TV. Mr Kitty, was the accomplice, he's normally the passive lookout.

[Speaker 2] well I hope the rest of your night is less exciting. no more watching shows with birds on it.

I love listening to the guy who got kylie jenner pregnant.

I have a sibling who was born before me.

[Speaker 1] Hey there how are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm good, how are you? Do you know of any good jobs around here?

[Speaker 1] I'm good. Well depends on where you live

[Speaker 2] I'm in north carolina. Where are you from?

[Speaker 1] I am from new york. Do I get brownie points for that? Haha

[Speaker 2] Maybe! Do they have restaurant jobs up there? I might relocate.

[Speaker 1] Yes they do! There are alot of job openings here.

[Speaker 2] My older sister tried to get me a job but there wasn't much here.

[Speaker 1] I want to become a physical therapist too here.

[Speaker 2] How did you get interested in doing that?

[Speaker 1] From my father. He's a top batch therapist.

[Speaker 2] Do you like to play basketball?

[Speaker 1] No because I used to study a lot. I had straight as

[Speaker 2] Nerd! Haha, just kidding. Who is your favorite music artist?

I live in New York.

I want to become a physical therapist.

I live in North Carolina.

I am looking for a restaurant job. I am willing to relocate.

I have an older sister.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from a friend of mine. I told him earlier that knew someone looking for a restaurant job, and he says he knows of an opening for a line cook at a hotel here in Manhattan. Is that the kind of restaurant job you're looking for?

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that was fast, thank you! Did he say if he had any positions available for my sister? I'd hate to leave her behind.

[Speaker 1] Probably, I could ask him. I think he is hiring for a few different positions. I'll send you his details later today.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome, she's always wanted to see NY too! How did you basketball game go btw?

[Speaker 1] I actually haven't played in a while becuase I've been studying for my exams. Hopefully I'll get a game at the weekend.

[Speaker 2] Oh sorry I thought you played every Friday, whoops! You better take your head out of the books and find some time to hang out with us when we get there!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I definitely will! Have you ever visited NY before?

[Speaker 2] Nope! Going to need someone to show us the ropes for sure. I hear people get robbed up there in broad daylight!

[Speaker 1] It's not as bad as people say although there are parts I wouldn't visit alone at night. I'll need to give you and your sister the tour.

[Speaker 2] I can't wait! I've lived here all my life, it's time for a change. Growing up I always had dreams of living in the big city, I even used to draw pictures of it that mom would hang on the fridge.

[Speaker 1] Well it is definitely a big city LOL You'll love it - we will have so much fun!

[Speaker 2] Oh boy, well as long as my phone stays charged i'll have a map lol! Is it easy to get a license up there? I've never had one here but i'd love to learn and I hear the city is an easy place to get started.

I live in New York.

I want to become a physical therapist.

I have been studying for my exams.

I live in North Carolina.

I have never had a license.

[Speaker 1] My friend got back to me and says there are two openings at the hotel in Manhattan for you and your sister. You both need to apply ASAP

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear, but I can't even find my sister now. No one has heard from her in the last 4 days.

[Speaker 1] Does your sister usually disappear or not respond for long periods of time?

[Speaker 2] No, this is the first time anything like this has happened. I hope she's all right.

[Speaker 1] I imagine. Have you thought of organizing a search with people she knows? Or perhaps contacting local law enforcement?

[Speaker 2] I'm pretty sure she's with her boyfriend somewhere. They left last weekend to go to a Nascar race.

[Speaker 1] What of her boyfriend? Have you contacted or tried to contact him?

[Speaker 2] I don't know how to get in tough with him. I don't even know his real name. His friends just call him Killer.

[Speaker 1] I would get in touch with his friends and see if you can't get in touch with him through them. If that fails and you're truly worried, I'd advise it would be time to call law enforcement.

[Speaker 2] It's all very overwhelming. I think I'm going to give it a few more days before I call the police. The scariest thing is that she's 8 months pregnant.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes waiting can be detrimental. However, this would be your decision to make.

[Speaker 2] What would you do if you were me? Would you call the police today?

I live in New York.

I want to become a physical therapist.

I have been studying for my exams.

I live in North Carolina.

I have never had a license.

I haven't seen my sister in 4 days. My sister and I are unemployed, but looking for work. I worry about my sister.

My sister and her boyfriend like Nascar racing. I don't know my sister's boyfriend's real name. My sister is 8 months pregnant.

[Speaker 1] I passed my exams. I'm so glad the studying part is over.

[Speaker 2] That's great. So now you're going to apply for the job vacancy at the hotel?

[Speaker 1] Yep, I'm going to start that next week since it shouldn't take long and I want a couple days to relax and unwind!  Have you ever thought about going to New York City?

[Speaker 2] I've always dreamed to live in New York City and so I've applied for some jobs in NY. There were a few times I got an offer from some restaurants, but my sister still worries me. That's why I didn't accept the offers. Because I don't feel comfortable leaving her here. Is your sister employed?

[Speaker 1] She is here, but like me she's also going to need a different job in New York.  She's a nurse though, so finding work should be really easy for her.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. What about playing basketball? I think now that you've passed your exams you have more free time to play. Is there a court near where you live?

[Speaker 1] Yep I was planning to go to the YMCA to play some pickup later tonight since I'm going to take the night off.  It's going to be so much fun to have more time to play.  I'm also looking forward to seeing a Knicks game when we're in NYC.

[Speaker 2] I'm so happy for you. I think you will have more time to play after you get employed and get established in your new job. I've been also interested in Knicks for years. Before worrying for my sister's situation fills my everyday life.

[Speaker 1] Your sister's baby is coming soon right?  Is that what you've been worrying about?

[Speaker 2] The baby is one problem, her boyfriend is another big one. I'm not sure he will be responsible about the baby and the costs. On the other hand, my sister and I are both still unemployed. e can't pay the costs for baby. I think he will leave my sister and this will really affects my sister mentally. I may apply for a job in NY and take my sister there to keep her away from this circumstance. Living in big cities has its own problems though.

[Speaker 1] Wow, I had no idea that her situation was so dire.  I really hope the best for you and your family, if there's anything I can do to help out just let me know.  If my sister and I make it to NYC maybe we can help you guys get a foothold there.
