[Speaker 2] Do you work a lot? I work at a local supermarket here in ohio.

[Speaker 1] No, I do not seem to have a job just skateboarding with all my friends!

[Speaker 2] Are you able to travel? I ve never let ohio.

[Speaker 1] I like travel and follow rob dryden around. Would you like to travel

[Speaker 2] Yes. I want to go to chicago for black olive pizza. My fave.

[Speaker 1] My fave too! Always hungry after skateboarding. What else do you like?

[Speaker 2] My kitty spook. Do you like cats?

[Speaker 1] Not much, they run in front of my skateboard good job I wear a hat!

[Speaker 2] What kind of hat do you wear?

[Speaker 1] Helmets, like rob dryden when skating. Do you like fashion?

[Speaker 2] Eh, not so much I guess.

[Speaker 1] There are lots of choices. Do you wear a uniform to work?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. Khaki pants and blue polo shirts. Boring, but it s a job.

I am not into music that much. I don't have a lot of time.

I don't have a job. I spend a lot of time skateboarding with my friends. I wear helmets when skating.

I like to travel. I follow Rob Dryden around.

I like black olive pizza.

I love listening to the who.

I have a cat called Spook.

I am not into fashion. I wear a uniform to work.

[Speaker 1] I've just been to the skate park with my friends, would love a black olive pizza right now!

[Speaker 2] hey you need to get out more and go see some live concerts

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah? Do you have any specific musicians in mind? I have been to an Indie music concert recently

[Speaker 2] indie musib is my favorite, just saw minus the bear and met the whole band who signed an album

[Speaker 1] Wow great. You must have spent a fortune for the VIP tickets. Were there many people at the venue?

[Speaker 2] small venue, under 500, thats what makes it so fun and personal

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. My concert a year ago was actually at a large stadium. Almost 10,000 people capacity. Couldn't see much what was going on on the stage haha

[Speaker 2] either way, just adds to the memories, life is to short, but when in doubt eat black olive pizza! hey just might take up skateboarding!

[Speaker 1] Yeah nothing can go wrong with black olive pizza. If you are not busy this weekend, what do you say we grab some beer and pizza

[Speaker 2] ok, sounds good, you come to ohio often?

[Speaker 1] I do visit Ohio once a while cuz my cousin lives there. Or you could come to Illinois sometime I know how you want to visit Chicago

[Speaker 2] id like that, but theres a local indie band playing here next weekend at the pub, youll love this band, called circle jerks!!!

I like black olive pizza.

I live in Illinois.

I love listening to the who.

I have a cat called Spook.

I like indie music.

[Speaker 1] What do you like most about indie musib?

[Speaker 2] I like the small venues instead of being in large halls and stadiums. It is more personal

[Speaker 1] Yea that makes sense, it's probably nice seeing the bands a bit more close up too. Have you booked to see any live music this year?

[Speaker 2] So far, I just have the one this weekend at the pub called circle jerks. I kind of go with the flow and don't schedule unless I could miss out, and so far nothing like that is happening.

[Speaker 1] That's fair enough you don't want to book too far ahead. It's good when local pubs also have live music. There's a Irish pub near me which always has some live irish music playing over the weekend! Where I live there are loads of pubs actually; are there many pubs in your area?

[Speaker 2] Yes, there are quite a few. Good ol' country boy ones and Irish ones mostly.

[Speaker 1] What drink do you tend to order at the pub? I tend to be a beer person, unless I'm out for dinner in which case I'd probably order red wine.

[Speaker 2] Typically I also like beer as well. I like trying new craft beers. I recently tried an apple pineapple cider that didn't even taste like alcohol. Those are my favorite types of drinks where I can't taste the alcohol at all, lol

[Speaker 1] I like craft beers too. Haha, I've never tried an apple pineapple cider, though I've had a pear cider before which just tasted like sugar. They are far too easy to drink!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like it would be tasty too. I also feel like the sweet drinks are too easy to drink. Classic pineapple and rum especially easily go down the hatch lol

[Speaker 1] Agreed! Pineapple and rum is such a good combination. A pina colada cocktail is just like drinking a dessert! At Christmas I tend to bring out the Baileys too, which is probably one of the sweetest drinks I can think of.

[Speaker 2] It really is, especially the frozen ones, haha. In my family, my mom never drank through the year, but she did at Christmas and it was Kahluha and milk or cream. Yummy goin to the tummy! Too much not so great for the tummy though, hehe.

I like black olive pizza.

I live in Illinois. I live near an Irish Pub that plays live Irish music. I live near lots of pubs. I prefer drinking beer at Pubs. I like drinking red wine at restaurants. I like craft beers. I have never drank apple pineapple cider. I have drank pear cider. I like drinking sweet drinks, like pineapple and rum, pina coladas, and Baileys.

I love listening to the who.

I have a cat called Spook.

I like indie music. I like Indi Musib. I prefer small venues over large halls and stadiums.

I am going to see a live-band called Circle Jerks this weekend at a Pub.

I live near quite a few Country and Irish pubs. I like drinking beer at Pubs. I like trying new craft beer. I recently tried apple pineapple cider. I like drinks where I can't taste the alcohol. I like drinking sweet drinks, like pineapple and rum. I like drinking frozen drinks. I grew up in a family where my mom only drank at Christmas.

[Speaker 1] There is a pub right near my house and I went there for dinner to order my favorite dinner. Black olive pizza, yum!

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious, how often do you get to go to this pub?

[Speaker 1] I go pretty often. It's my favorite place to listen to live Irish music.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome, I love trying some craft brews in irish pubs but do not get to go as often as i like. I definitely need to check out some of this irish music.

[Speaker 1] We could do a tour of pubs in Chicago!

[Speaker 2] That would be amazing! Considering I've never travelled outside of Ohio, do you think Chicago would be quite the culture shock for me?

[Speaker 1] I don't think it would be too different. You know we Illinois-ans are pretty similar to you Ohioans!

[Speaker 2] That is what I hear! Plus being able to try that Chicago pizza would be legendary

[Speaker 1] Exactly. You and I definitely have a love for black olive pizza in common, and Chicago is famous for its pizza.

[Speaker 2] A deep dish black olive pizza? I think that might be an absolute game changer!

[Speaker 1] With a nice cold craft beer alongside? Can't imagine anything better.

[Speaker 2] Exactly! With Irish Music playing in the background? We need to make this happen as soon as possible.

I like black olive pizza.

I love listening to the who.

I work at a local supermarket in Ohio. I have never travelled outside of Ohio. I want to go to chicago. My favourite food is black olive pizza. I love Chicago pizza.

I have a cat called Spook.

I live near quite a few Country and Irish pubs. I like drinking beer at Pubs. I love trying some craft brews in Irish pubs. I am not  a frequent guest there. I like Irish music. I recently tried apple pineapple cider. I like drinks where I can't taste the alcohol. I like drinking sweet drinks, like pineapple and rum. I like drinking frozen drinks. I grew up in a family where my mom only drank at Christmas.

[Speaker 1] Do you want me to teach you skateboarding? We would have a lot of fun!

[Speaker 2] That sounds really cool.  In addition to a helmet, I think I'd have to wear wrist guards as well.  I can't afford to break a wrist and be useless at work.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I also wear knee pads. You could come to Illinois I'm only ten minutes away from Chicago. We could get some Chicago style pizza have a few frozen fruity drinks and spend the weekend skating!

[Speaker 2] Man, that sounds like a great time.  Do you have a favorite Chicago pizza place?  I know there are a bunch that are well-known.

[Speaker 1] My favorite is Chicago's Pizza on Montrose Ave but there are quite a few that are just as good. They have a lot of great craft beers. I have always wanted to try my hand at making craft beer but never find the time. Is that something you would be interested in?

[Speaker 2] It's definitely something I'd be interested in but like you it's an issue of time and energy.  Sometimes it's easier just to let other folks do the work and then enjoy the fruits of their labors.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! You could always take the train in to Chicago it stops right down from the Pizza place. It would definitely be an adventure for you.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sounds like a blast.  I'm definitely up for that.  Would you want to get together on the weekend or during the week?  I'd have to take a day off of work if it's during the week.

[Speaker 1] The weekend would be best it sounds like for both of us. Since you haven't traveled out of Ohio this will be a very busy trip for you. There will be so much for you to see and a lot of skating that will happen. The skate park is amazingly huge!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'll have to dig through my stuff and see if I have an old skateboard.  I think I might.  Otherwise I'll have to buy a new one.

[Speaker 1] No worries! My friends and I have about twenty skateboards that you can try out to see which one fits your style.

[Speaker 2] Okay, that works, too!  I'll definitely be sure to bring my own helmet and wrist guards, though.  I'd hate to take the train back to Ohio with a cast or worse.

[Speaker 2] I do like dancing. Do you have any books on dance?

[Speaker 1] I do, but they are all in spanish. I got them in spain you see.

[Speaker 2] Why were you in spain? I was in somalia until my aunt help me escape.

[Speaker 1] I was searching the world for books. Spain has a lot of them.

[Speaker 2] Spain sounds lovely! In somalia I was being forced to marry someone I hated....

[Speaker 1] In all my sixty years I never did see a library in somalia. How tragic.

[Speaker 2] Don't get me wrong, not all of somalia is bad, just... Restricted... For women.

[Speaker 1] Is it true the age expectancy is 13?

[Speaker 2] It all depends. Some of us are lucky and it is why I live in the us now.

[Speaker 1] I feel like this newfangled internet will force me to retire in a few years.

[Speaker 2] So funny! I only found it a few years ago and it opened my world.

I have books on dance that are in Spanish. I got them in Spain. I have been to Spain. I was in Spain searching for books as Spain has a lot of books.

I am 60. I never saw a library in Somalia.

I feel I will be forced to retire in a few years due to the internet.

I am learning to read English.

I like to dance.

I live in the US now. I am lucky.

I am new to the internet. I have only had is for a few years.

[Speaker 1] I have found some new books in English. Once you have learned to read more, you should check them out.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. what are the books about?

[Speaker 1] One of the books is about a Jamaican woman going through the ups and downs of her life, it's called Queenie.

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting. what about the other books?

[Speaker 1] Another one is called Rich Dad Poor Dad, it teaches us new things about money we may have never knew.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good one to read. I am definitely interested in learning more about money. that wasn't something I really had to know about growing up.

[Speaker 1] It really is, when you feel confident enough to read you should get that book.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any other books you think I should read that would be beneficial?

[Speaker 1] The 7 habits of highly effective wisdom. I know that it might not sound interesting, but you can learn a lot from it.

[Speaker 2] well wisdom is definitely a good thing to learn to have.

[Speaker 1] It definitely is, no matter how old or young you are.

[Speaker 2] what are the books you were looking for in Spain?

I have books on dance that are in Spanish. I got them in Spain. I was in Spain searching for books as Spain has a lot of books.

I have read a book titled "Queenie". I read a book titled "Rick Dad Poor Dad". I have read a book titled "The 7 habits of highly effective wisdom".

I am learning to read English.

I like to dance.

I lived in Somalia. My aunt helped me escape. I was forced to marry someone in Somalia who I hated. I live in the US now. I am lucky.

I want to read more books. I would enjoy learning about wisdom.

[Speaker 1] I wanted to let you know that I just picked up a new book myself. The book is titled "Think and Grow Rich." I know you wanted to learn more about money so, I thought this might be another good title for you.

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much for the recommendation. Have you read it yourself and what tips can you give to get the most from the experience?

[Speaker 1] I have read a little bit, and the biggest tip I can give from the experience, is to start investing while you are young. What interrest you about investing?

[Speaker 2] I want to be self-sufficient and my own boss. Too long have I had to answer to someone else and be dependent upon others for financial security. Were you able to invest when you were young and how did it turn out? I see you may be forced to retire soon so I hope you can do so comfortably.

[Speaker 1] I was able to invest when I was younger, I had an advisor who helped me with my investments and they did a great job setting me up to be comfortable in retirement. Being your own boss is truly an amazing feeling. Especially when you had to answer to others for so long.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of investing in land or real estate as they have the biggest upside and generally least risk. Although I see many people getting rich on stocks such as GME or Cryptocurrency. What is your stance on any of the aforementioned?

[Speaker 1] real estate is always safe, especially if you are in a thriving area. So totally love that. cryptocurrency is pretty new at the moment, but it definitely has a huge upside, but also presents a lot of risk, but if that risk pays off, you could be set up very nicely for life.

[Speaker 2] I share the sentiment. Another potential area that is starting to get tapped is collectibles, specifically trading cards. A box of pokemon cards sold for almost half a million and a single Magic the Gathering card sold for over that.

[Speaker 1] That definitely is another area where you can strike it rich. Have you considered purchasing any of those cards and selling them?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've dabbled in it and enjoy having them in my possession as they are also unique art pieces and easy to store. I want to take calculated risks now because even if it doesn't work out I am still young and have time to recover should it go south.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely that is why investing young is so crucial, it allows you the chance to take risk and even make mistakes until you find out what works for you,

[Speaker 2] There are so many more opportunities in the United States, I'd never even imagine doing any of this in Somalia. Since I am still learning English, what is your favorite word that you do not see people use often enough?

I have read books titled "Queenie", "Rick Dad Poor Dad", "The 7 habits of highly effective wisdom". I started reading a new book called "Think and Grow Rich".

I am learning to read English.

I like to dance.

I grew up in Somalia. My aunt helped me escape. I was forced to marry someone in Somalia who I hated. I live in the US now. I am learning English.

I am new to the internet. I have only had it for a few years.

I never was taught about money as a kid. I want to learn more about investing money. I would like to invest in land or real estate. I've considered investing in GME or Cryptocurrency, collectibles, such as trading cards.

I want to read more books.

I want to be my own boss so I don't have to answer to others.

I have started to dabble in purchasing and selling trading cards. I am willing to take risks.

[Speaker 1] Have you looked into community college courses? There might be some nearby that could help you learn English or that could help you learn more about investing money or about starting your own business.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am currently learning English at a local community college. I will definitely look into courses about investing and starting my own business. I appreciate the recommendation!

[Speaker 1] Is learning English enjoyable for you?

[Speaker 2] I would not say it is enjoyable but it is interesting to learn the differences in my native language and English. There is also a lot of slang words in the English language so that is difficult to keep track of. Do you speak any other languages?

[Speaker 1] I can speak Spanish pretty welll!

[Speaker 2] That's neat! That must have made going to Spain pretty easy for you.

[Speaker 1] I think reading books in Spanish has also made better at understanding the language.

[Speaker 2] That makes a lot of sense, I have been trying to read more in English too. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Work is not too bad but I am glad that I started investing when I was younger.

[Speaker 2] Have you given any more thought to retirement?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can't avoid it. Have you managed to find work since you've moved to the US?

[Speaker 2] I haven't. I have been looking but with my spoken English, many places don't want to hire me

I had an advisor when I was younger that helped me learn about investing. I recommend investing in real estate. I see lots of risks in investing with Cryptocurrency but acknowledge sometimes risks pay off. I recommend investing when you're young so you can take risks. I started investing when I was younger.

I can speak Spanish pretty well. Reading books in Spanish has also made me  better at understanding the language.

I can't avoid the retirement.

I am learning to read English.

I like to dance.

I want to read more books.

I will look into courses about investing and starting my own business.

It is interesting to learn the differences in my native language and English. I have no work  because of my poor English many places don't want to hire me.

[Speaker 1] So do you miss your native country?

[Speaker 2] I miss the family element but there are many things about the country I do not miss at all.

[Speaker 1] I imagine that is very true. I'm glad we can talk to help you improve your English! What kind of work would you like to do

[Speaker 2] I am getting interested in investing. I think that is where the big money is but I can not decide if to go in deep on crypto or not?

[Speaker 1] I don't know a lot about crypto, just that it is risky. That's why I stick with real estate, but it can be hard to get started with that.

[Speaker 2] But I keep hearing about people making millions overnight with crypto. I am happy with some risk if it means I have a chance of some huge gains.

[Speaker 1] If you have money to invest you should try it out and let me know how it goes!

[Speaker 2] Will do, I can even pick you up I my new lambo.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha then you will certainly be living the American dream.

[Speaker 2] That's all I have ever wanted. America has the means for anyone to become successful and I admire that.

[Speaker 1] Yes. Many people experience disadvantages but there are ways to make connections and get around that.

[Speaker 2] This is something that was not always available in my home country. It was much harder to become successful.

[Speaker 1] Hi how is your day going?

[Speaker 2] Hi mine is going very slow how is yours?

[Speaker 1] I am busy volunteering at a homeless shelter.

[Speaker 2] Having three dogs keeps me busying cleaning my house.

[Speaker 1] Cleaning house must be a great workout. I love working out several times a week

[Speaker 2] It is a great work out.

[Speaker 1] Cool where do you work?

[Speaker 2] I am a homemaker you?

[Speaker 1] Professional wrestler here. That is why I workout so much

[Speaker 2] I thought I would always be a door to door salesperson as my father was.

[Speaker 1] Ah cool you must love being around people too. We have that in common

[Speaker 2] Yes I do one of the reason I'm in a poly amorous relationship

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. What do you do in your spare time?

[Speaker 2] I love hiking or being in the outdoors how about you?

[Speaker 1] I volunteer whenever I'm able.

[Speaker 2] I love to volunteer as well.

I work out several times a week. I am a professional wrestler.

I love being around people.

I have 3 dogs.

I am  homemaker.

My father was a door to door salesman, I thought I would be too.

I also love being around people, and I am in a polyamorous relationship.

I like to hike and be outdoors.

I like volunteering.

[Speaker 1] I won a wrestling tournament title belt.

[Speaker 2] Thats great! How many tournaments have you been it?

[Speaker 1] I have been in 10 tourneys. It's a very fun career.

[Speaker 2] It seems a little dangerous as well, have you ever been hurt?

[Speaker 1] I've had two torn ACLs, and a broken arm. I really interested to hear about your career. What do you sell?

[Speaker 2] I'm actually a home maker but I wanted to follow in my fathers foot steps as a door to door salesman but I never did.  He sold Kirby vacuums for over 25 years.

[Speaker 1] That's pretty cool. I remember the door-to-door salesmen very well. I just got rid of a set of encyclopedias that mother and father bought from a door-to-door salesman! How is the hiking going? Have you done any interesting trails lately?

[Speaker 2] I went on a hike at a local state park a few weeks ago.  It was great, but it seems like a lot of snakes are out lately!  How are your workouts going lately, do you do them at a gym?

[Speaker 1] I do most of them at a local gym, but some at home too. It's a full-time commitment considering the field I'm in.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense! I've seen a lot of people doing more workouts at local parks.  I volunteered last week for a clean up hike at our local park.  We collected 50 bags of trash!

[Speaker 1] Wow. It's crazy how may litter-bugs we have. How often do you volunteer?

[Speaker 2] I try to volunteer at least once a month.  How about you?  Where do you volunteer?

I love being around people.

I've had two torn ACLs and a broken arm.

I workout at home and at the local gym several times a week.

I have 3 dogs.

I like to hike and be outdoors.

I'm a homemaker. I wanted to be a door to door salesman like my father.

[Speaker 1] Do you think you'll ever do any sales work, even if it's not necessarily door to door?

[Speaker 2] I thought that I would want to do that but now I am really enjoying being a homemaker! It gives me more time to volunteer!

[Speaker 1] Well as long as you get to do what you truly enjoy, that's great! Other than the clean up hike, what other types of volunteer work have you done?

[Speaker 2] I also do a monthly beach clean up with a local non-profit organization! It's great because I get to help the ecosystem and enjoy the beach at the same time!! I love the ocean!

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds great, keeping the ocean beautiful is always good. I wish I had more time for volunteer work.

[Speaker 2] I think taking care of the planet is everyone's responsibility! How often are you able to volunteer at the moment?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I think we should all do our part to keep the planet clean and healthy. Well I don't have too much free time, between the constant training and making sure I'm not aggravating any previous injuries.

[Speaker 2] Would you ever consider switching professions? It sounds like your job is very hard on your body!!

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I think about it, but wrestling is my passion, I've been doing it from a very young age.

[Speaker 2] That's very cool that you stuck with your passion all these years! Maybe you can teach me some wrestling moves sometime!

[Speaker 1] Yeah that sounds great, I'm sure you're already pretty fit from hiking and the volunteer work

[Speaker 2] My endurance has definitely increased since I've started hiking! I definitely could always build more muscle though!

I volunteer at a homeless shelter. I like volunteering. I don't have enough time for volunteer work.

I am a professional wrestler. I won a wrestling tournament title belt. I've been in 10 wrestling tournaments so far. I have been wrestling since I was very young. It is my passion.

I love being around people.

I have 3 dogs.

I like to hike and be outdoors.

I volunteered in a clean up hike at our local park. I like volunteering. I try to volunteer at least once a month. I do a monthly beach clean up with a local non-profit. I love looking after the environment. I love the ocean.

I'd like to learn some wrestling moves. I am very fit. I hike a lot.

[Speaker 1] I broke my other arm in training today...I feel so depressed and hopeless

[Speaker 2] Oh no. Have you gone to see a doctor yet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is in a cask, but I don't know what to do with a broken arm. Sports are very important for me.

[Speaker 2] Hmmm. I guess following the doctor's advice might not be a bad idea. Maybe you can get a second opinion if you're not sure about what they said. Did they say how soon you could expect to get back to wrestling?

[Speaker 1] At least 6 weeks without any training. Then they can remove the cask and start physiotherapy. Maybe I could hike in a park, what do you think about it ?

[Speaker 2] I would check with the doctor or any specialist they refer you to. Hiking in a park sounds harmless enough, but it may depend on the specific damage done to your arm, as well as body mechanics - and a host of other factors. The important thing is to stay positive. Six weeks isn't so bad. Do you know if you'll be able to continue your volunteer work?

[Speaker 1] I  did not think about that, but you are right, with my broken arm I could do much more volunteering, thanks for the suggestion.

[Speaker 2] No problem. How many days a week do you volunteer?

[Speaker 1] I think I will try 3 days per week. How many do you do ?

[Speaker 2] I volunteer at least once a month. How long ago did you start volunteering at the homeless shelter?

[Speaker 1] I started a few years ago, before my wrestling career. I had lots of time and I like to help people. But since I have career, it was 1-2  times every 3 months.

[Speaker 2] Got it. Well, it feels great to give back, doesn't it?

I have been volunteering at a homeless shelter for a few years. I like volunteering. I don't have enough time for volunteer work.

I love being around people.

I've had two torn ACLs and a broken arm from wresling. My arm is in a cast.

I have to wait at least six weeks to train again. I will need to have physiotherapy. I will try to volunteer three days a week now that I can't train.

I have 3 dogs.

I like to hike and be outdoors.

[Speaker 1] How has your volunteering at the beach cleanup been going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well.  So much to cleanup, but it's rewarding when you make progress.  I'm hoping to get others to join our cleanup project.

[Speaker 1] That is great! Since I broke my arm wrestling I have had more time to volunteer at the homeless shelter. Volunteering is very rewarding and since I can't train right now I'm looking for things to keep me busy.

[Speaker 2] And volunteering does that.  So do you meet interesting people there?  I find that people mis-judge the homeless...Some are just regular people who have had a tough break.

[Speaker 1] Yes I have met so many people at the shelter. It's hard to believe that CEO's, doctors, lawyers and even politicians can end up in the shelter with drugs/alcohol consuming their lives. It is really sad.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes.  You just never know what can happen in life. So even though you broke your arm, have you been on any hikes lately?

[Speaker 1] I haven't been on any hikes lately. Have you? I would like to climb a mountain someday. But of course with my arm and not having a lot of time limits by chances.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to climb a mountain.  We should make some plans to do it!  Where would you go if you could?

[Speaker 1] I think out west would be a great place!

[Speaker 2] For sure!  I'll go anywhere actually haha.  I'd love to go in the fall when the colors are changing and it's a bit cooler.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] Yes I think it would be beautiful that time of year.

[Speaker 2] That is my favorite season.  I wouldn't mind a winter hike either, however, we'd have to wait to be sure your arm is completely healed


My favorite type of music to sing is folk music.

My parents aren't very supportive of my dream.

I am a musician and hope to make it big some day.

I play the piano and guitar and sing.

I also work as a custodian to help pay the bills.

I am a cancer survivor.

My parents were both very athletic.

I got a new job just yesterday to be a life coach.

I am a clean eater.

I often enjoy folksy tunes.

My goals seem far fetched to my mom.

I work with music and I dream of success.

I am skilled in two musical instruments.

I am a janitor at a school.

I used to be very unhealthy.

I was raised in an active family.

I recently started a position helping others with daily challenges.

I care about healthy eating.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I've dreams of being a big musician. What are your dreams?

[Speaker 2] Hello, I'm living mine as a life coach!

[Speaker 1] Nice. When I'm not singing, playing piano or guitar, I'm a custodian.

[Speaker 2] The custodian at the hospital where I did chemotherapy was very nice.

[Speaker 1] Are your parents supportive? Mine are not when it comes to my dreams.

[Speaker 2] Not unless it is sports related.

[Speaker 1] Folk is my favorite type of music. What is yours?

[Speaker 2] I prefer metal. I do love rap too.

[Speaker 1] So do I. I'm eating sushi for lunch, what about you?

[Speaker 2] Fruits and some vegetables, anything that's clean.

[Speaker 1] I'm a clean eater as well. Do you exercise? I do and I love it.

[Speaker 2] I do. I'm a runner, I do all of the run disney races.

[Speaker 1] Interesting. I never heard of those races. Sounds like fun.

[Speaker 2] They're. I like to dress up in costume while running.

I have dreams of being a big musician.

In my dreams, my parents are not supportive.

My favorite type of music is Folk. I like metal and rap.

I eat clean. I love to exercise.

I have not heard of the Disney races.

I'm living my dream as a life coach.

I have had chemotherapy.

My parents are supportive when it comes to sports.

I like metal and rap.

I eat clean.

I am a runner.  I do all of the Disney races. I dress in costume to race.

[Speaker 1] I looked up the Disney races, I may try one soon.  I am going to a piano bar tonight, have you ever been to one?

[Speaker 2] Once. I went to one with a few out of town friends a few years back. It was a lot of fun. Do you go often?

[Speaker 1] As much as i can go. I feel like i can learn a lot from other piano players.

[Speaker 2] That's a solid plan. Perhaps you could ask for some tips or maybe even see if they'll let you play a song or two?

[Speaker 1] I definitely ask for a lot of tips. I never thought about asking them if i could play though. That would really be a dream come true.

[Speaker 2] Never hurts to ask. And the experience of playing in front of an audience could be valuable.

[Speaker 1] You are definitely correct. No wonder you are a life coach! You definitely put a good idea in my head and motivated me!

[Speaker 2] Good! I'm glad I was able to help. That's what makes me enjoy my job so much.

[Speaker 1] I can definitely understand that. Did you have this kind of a passion before you needed chemotherapy, or did it only happen after that?

[Speaker 2] After. While going through all of that I got to see lots of good people doing everything they could to help others. It inspired me to want to help others as well.

[Speaker 1] That is really inspiring to hear. I know it is an awful thing that you had to go through. However, sometimes life because that much more meaningful after such a horrible event.

[Speaker 2] Definitely. Few things can open your eyes to new things and perspectives reminders of the fragility of life. Each new day is another joy to experience after thinking, for a time, that you wouldn't have many more.

I have dreams of being a big musician. I play the piano and guitar.  I am a custodian.

I eat clean. I love to exercise.

I have not heard of the Disney races.

I play the piano and want to play at a piano bar.

I'm living my dream as a life coach.

I like metal and rap.

I eat clean.

I had cancer and went through chemotherapy.

[Speaker 1] I got a gig playing at the piano bar!

[Speaker 2] That's so great, are they paying you well?

[Speaker 1] Not really that great to be honest. I took the gig because I wanted to get some exposure. Maybe it'll lead to some better gigs in the future.

[Speaker 2] Still glad to hear it, any exposure can't help and I guess it's sort of like you're building a resume. I just took on two new clients myself so I'm feeling pretty great.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds great. What kind of clients are they?

[Speaker 2] They both came to me for life coaching, I basically just help them advance in their relationships, career, and life in general.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like an interesting job. I was kind of shocked at first when you told me what you did for a living. How much do people pay for that kind of coaching?

[Speaker 2] It depends on the client, how much time we spend and some other factors but it's usually around 200 dollars a month.

[Speaker 1] Hmm, doesn't sound like a lot. You must have to have a lot of clients to make a living at it. How many do you have?

[Speaker 2] At the moment I have 7 clients I see regularly, but that number can go up or down throughout the year.

[Speaker 1] Do you have them come visit you at home, or do you just do it online?

[Speaker 2] We meet in person sometimes, but a lot of my work is done over the phone or through video calls.

I eat clean. I love to exercise.

I have not heard of the Disney races.

I'm living my dream as a life coach.

I like metal and rap.

I eat clean.

I have 7 clients. I sometimes meet clients in person, sometimes over the phone/video chat.

[Speaker 1] My gig at the bar went so well - they want me to come back and play twice a week!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. This may be your big break! Does the place you playing have pretty full crowds?

[Speaker 1] Almost, but the crow responded very well. I the manager liked what I did.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. I wish I had some musical talent. Did it come natural for you or were you born with it?

[Speaker 1] I practice a lot, I like it and I listen to a lot of music, do you have any favorite genre ?

[Speaker 2] I like metal and rap. Metal is my favorite with rap a close second.

[Speaker 1] what would be a good metal group to listen to ?

[Speaker 2] Listen to old school Metallica. That's a good band to cut your teeth on. Metal isn't for everyone, but it has a cult following.

[Speaker 1] Some say that the structure of metal is like classical music, is it true ?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I agree with that. I've never heard that, but now that you say it, it kinda does.

[Speaker 1] I will try to listen to Metallica as soon as I have free time. BUt I have to practice for my next gig.

[Speaker 2] Send me a sample of your music. I would love to hear it.

I eat clean. I love to exercise.

I have not heard of the Disney races.

I just got a gig playing piano at a bar. The gig doesn't pay well, but I'm hoping it will give me exposure to better gigs in the future.I've been invited to perform there twice a week. The crowd at the bar enjoyed my performance.

I'm planning to listen to some Metallica in my free time. I need to practice for my next gig.

I'm living my dream as a life coach.

I like metal and rap.

I eat clean.

I have never been a musician. I like old school Metallica.

[Speaker 1] You were right about Metallica! Can you recommend some of your other favorite metal bands?

[Speaker 2] Honestly I haven't been listening to much metal recently. I've been more into indie. Do you like any other genres of music?

[Speaker 1] I like metal, but I am more comfortable playing indie on the guitar! Do you have a favorite band?

[Speaker 2] I really like Modest Mouse but I guess they are a bit more alternative. Have you heard of them?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes I have! I went to a concert a few years ago!

[Speaker 2] Wow! I'd love to go to one of their concerts. How was it?

[Speaker 1] The concert was amazing, but the weather wasn't the greatest. I feel that it always rains during outdoor concerts.

[Speaker 2] Oh it was outdoor, interesting! So how is the gig at the piano bar going? Lots of people?

[Speaker 1] Yes, there has been so many people during the weekends, its always a full house! You should come down to the bar sometime!

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds like fun! Though, I guess I don't really like huge crowds. Are there any quiet or calmer days?

[Speaker 1] Yes, if you come down on a weekday, there isn't too many people there and I can get you in for free!

[Speaker 2] You can? That would be great! Around what time do you usually play?

[Speaker 1] Okay. Ever thought about playing violin professionally like your dad?

[Speaker 2] I have, but, as much as I hate to say it, I'm not sure I

[Speaker 1] I'd love to hear you play. What instruments do you play besides violin and piano?

[Speaker 2] Sorry about that. Fat Thumbs. LOL      I've dabbled in so many. Clarinet, oboe, sax, upright bass, marimba. You play anything?

[Speaker 1] No, I wish I did. I really like violin but never took lessons. My garden takes most of my free time. Do you garden at all?

[Speaker 2] I don't. It takes forever to clean my hands after, and if I start getting dirt on my instruments it's a major problem. What are you growing this year?

[Speaker 1] Lots and lots of flowers! Planning flower beds is a fun challenge and it's great to be outdoors. Do you like hiking? That's one of my favorite hobbies.

[Speaker 2] I love it. Got a nice hike planned for tomorrow in fact.

[Speaker 1] Ooh! Tell me about this hike!

I do not have a garden.

[Speaker 1] I saw an orchestra concert on tv last night and the violinist was amazing. They are coming to town for a performance next month.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I bet my dad would love to go! Are you planning on getting tickets?

[Speaker 1] Hell yeah! I can't wait. I just wish I could actually learn how to play the Violin and not just listen to the music

[Speaker 2] I'd love to join you!! I don't have time to take on any new students but definitely could teach you a little violin some time!

[Speaker 1] Yes! We should make a night out of it. You could teach me Violin and I can teach you gardening in return. I have these amazing flower beds you have to see!

[Speaker 2] I love looking at gardens but not so much planting them! Like I said, too much dirt on my hands! I'll stick to my instruments LOL!

[Speaker 1] lol fair enough, we can just stick to hanging out then. I have a trip planned with the church group this weekend but we can probably do something next weekend if you feel like it?

[Speaker 2] Let's plan on doing a quick violin lesson before the orchestra performance next month! I'm booked with students for the next few weeks anyway!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan! You work too hard, you should take a vaccation sometimes. We go to this church trip every summer, you should join us?

[Speaker 2] I'll think about it, I'm not very religious so don't know if it would be a good fit! Thanks for offering though!

[Speaker 1] No problem, you don't have to be relgious to enjoy a nice trip lol

[Speaker 2] Well we can definitely enjoy the orchestra performance together! I love going to see live music!

I teach science.

I love to garden and the outdoors. I like to explore new places. I grow flowers in my garden. I have amazing flower beds.

I really like to hike.

I teach piano. I am currently booked full with lessons until next month.

I play the violin, piano, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, upright bass, and marimba. My favorite instrument is the violin.  I love the violin. My dad was a professional violinist. I take after my dad. My dad enjoys orchestra concerts. I love live music.

I do not have a garden. I am not interested in planting gardens. I don't like dirt.

I am not religious.

[Speaker 1] Did your dad teach you how to play violin or did you learn from another professional?

[Speaker 2] He started to teach me and then I learned from someone else because he went to play with a group that was traveling.

[Speaker 1] I would have loved to have been around someone who was enthusiastic about music. How long did he go travelling for?

[Speaker 2] He was gone for about 6 months they traveled all over the world playing for different people. He even played for the president one time.

[Speaker 1] That must have been so interesting. I bet he had loads of stories when he returned! Did you prefer learning from him or the person after?

[Speaker 2] He did have lots of stories. To be honest the other person. He was much harder on me then other student since I was his child.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I get that - tough love. But, since you love the violin now, they achieved their goal collectively. When was the last time you got a new violin?

[Speaker 2] I just got a new one last month and handed down my old one to my child. I he wanted to learn how to play so I have been looking into a good teacher. I learned it is better to have someone else do it then myself because of how it went with my father.

[Speaker 1] I am sure there will be loads of people willing to teach your child for the correct payment. Maybe you could teach the very basics to lower the cost?

[Speaker 2] He knows a lot from watching me and can play some simple songs. I have a friend that said they would teach him, but she out of town at the moment.

[Speaker 1] That would work out perfectly. I think sometimes it is best to outsource for that kind of thing. When do you think she will be back?

[Speaker 2] Hopefully next month unless her orchestra gets ask to play somewhere else. She is plays the clarinet while playing at concerts, but she is a professional in all kinds of instuments.

I teach science.

I like a good violin. I don't play any instruments. I am planning on going to a orchestra concert performance. I want to learn to play the violin. I didn't grow up around any musicians.

I really like to hike.

I am not religious.

I learned from my dad and from another teacher after he began traveling to play music. My dad was a strict music teacher to me.

My father traveled all over the world playing music.

I just got a new violin. I handed down my old violin to my son. I am looking for a violin teacher for him. I have a friend who is willing to teach my son to play violin.

[Speaker 1] I've been looking really seriously into getting a violin for myself. Maybe you could help me decide which one to get?

[Speaker 2] How many plats do you have in your garden? I relay like that.

[Speaker 1] I have about a dozen! it's a beautiful garden and its one of my favorite summer hobbies.

[Speaker 2] So you spent lots of time in your garden. May be That keep you always relax and clam. When do you start gardening?

[Speaker 1] I usually start mid-spring. It's kind of cold where I live, so if I start too early, plants will die. Tell me more about your hobbies! How long have you been playing violin?

[Speaker 2] I have been playing the violin since my childhood. My father taught me that at an early age. Most of my time I play the violin in solitude. I love mountain climbing.

[Speaker 1] That's really cool. And do your children also know how to play?

[Speaker 2] He is currently learning to play the violin. I hope my friend will teach him well. Bunnal Pupil Violin is best choose for beginner my son also use that violin.

[Speaker 1] how wonderful to pass that skill down through your family! is there a reason you don't teach him yourself?

[Speaker 2] I could not teach my son because I had too much work to do. Continuous teaching of violin reading is required. That’s why I asked my friend to teach him.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. it's definitely a commitment! does your son enjoy learning?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he really enjoys it. Because we are a musical family. I hope he has a bright future in the museum.

[Speaker 2] Where do you work? I don't work anymore I just stream on twitch

[Speaker 1] The burger king. I work for money and to get away from my nagging parents

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good job. I used to design a videogame

[Speaker 1] I wish I could program stuff. My mind doesn t work that way

[Speaker 2] Are you still in school? I was an engineering major

[Speaker 1] I didn t want to go to college until I figured out what I want to do.

[Speaker 2] That is very smart to do. After I finished school I started avoiding people

[Speaker 1] I m 19 and all my friends went away to school. I m still at home avoiding parents!

[Speaker 2] You'll figure out what you want to do soon enough.

[Speaker 1] You sound nice. It s not like I m an alcoholic or drug addict, just do have a passion

[Speaker 2] I'm building a robot clone of myself so I don't have to go anywhere

[Speaker 1] That s impossible! No way you can do that!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I am very talented when it comes to technology I am even famous

I work at burger king.  I like to make money and I work to get away from my parents.

My mind does not work to program stuff.

I am 19.  My friends are away at school. I live at home.  I avoid my parents.

I am not an alcoholic or drug addict.

I do not work.  I stream on twitch.

I used to design video games.

I started avoiding people after I finished school.

I am building a robot clone. I am talented in technology.  I am famous.

[Speaker 1] Once I figure out what I want to do in life, maybe I will become famous to as I like to make money.

[Speaker 2] Being famous isn't always as great as it sounds Haha!

[Speaker 1] Well as long I make a lot of money, I can accept the hardships of being famous, lol

[Speaker 2] Ha, maybe but remember there's more important things than money. Happiness should always be your priority! And trust me with fame, happiness is sometimes very hard to find!

[Speaker 1] I understand that, I do not see my self becoming famous so I do not worry about it. I try to do what makes me happy

[Speaker 2] Well that's the main thing! Have you had any more thoughts about what you want to do in college yet?

[Speaker 1] not really, I am not technical or have any great skills. I may study business. I would like to own a business one of these days.

[Speaker 2] That could be a good idea, studying business can give you a lot of different options as well!

[Speaker 1] That is why I like it, It is like "general studies" but with more of a focus

[Speaker 2] Yeah good point. How's your job at Burger King going?

[Speaker 1] I got flipping burgers down to a science, lol

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'll have to order some when your next working, as long as you give me extra fries, haha!

My mind does not work to program stuff.

I would like being famous if I made a lot of money. I do what makes me happy.

I do not work.  I stream on twitch.

I used to design video games.

I am an engineering major.

I think happiness can be hard to find.

[Speaker 1] How is your twitch channel? I was thinking I should join.

[Speaker 2] Twitch is going great. Its really great to show everyone what my projects are without actually having to see them. There are many things to enjoy on Twitch is there anything you are interested in watching?

[Speaker 1] Are there any streams that talk about business, I kinda want to own my own business eventually.

[Speaker 2] There are different topics many people are full time streamers so they are running a business. What kind of business are you thinking about?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure, I just want to do something that makes me happy. Do you have any thoughts on what I should do?

[Speaker 2] Do you have any idea on what makes you happy? Profitable businesses are more about providing a service to others you have to find something that you are good at or interested in that you can teach to other people. I help people on Twitch by showing them what I am building.

[Speaker 1] I like almost everything you are talking about. I like to build and stuff...I just don't have many skills. I definitely think I should tune in to your twitch.

[Speaker 2] It would be great if you followed me. It is hard to find happiness so might as well find money while you are looking for it. What are you building?

[Speaker 1] I build virtually actually. I use architectural programs on my computer and build houses and things through there.

[Speaker 2] You could absolutely stream that on Twitch. People watch people playing video games it would be very popular if you streamed. If you are not ready to start a channel maybe you could be a guest on my channel.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome! It would help me get a better understanding of Twitch too, before I potentially start streaming as well!

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be great I can virtually host you so there is no need to get together in person. I am sure it will be a very popular topic. Can you use the program to build other things like robots?

My mind does not work to program stuff.

I am not an alcoholic or drug addict.

I like to build. I build using architectural programs on my computer.

I do not work.  I stream on twitch.

I used to design video games.

I am an engineering major.

I think happiness can be hard to find.

I have a Twitch channel. I like showing off my projects on Twitch. I enjoy building things and showing people the projects I'm making because it helps teach them. I can virtually host people on Twitch.

[Speaker 1] What was the hardest part of starting a Twitch channel? I'm worried about getting enough followers. How did you get enough followers to start earning a profit?

[Speaker 2] The hardest part is trusting the process. I started promoting my channel on other social media platforms and doing collabs with bigger channels. What type of content would you have on your twitch?

[Speaker 1] I don't know. I haven't found my niche yet. I'm not really good at anything.

[Speaker 2] I am sure there's something you're good at. don't get me wrong, I am grateful for my platform but sometimes I miss leading a normal life without the fame.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could find out. I may be destined to a life of anonymity. What's the coolest things about being famous?

[Speaker 2] it is nice having people look up to me and appreciate my content. don't worry, you are still young. you have bags of time to figure stuff out.

[Speaker 1] I hope so. I'm going to keep trying and coming up with ideas. I will lean on you for motivation.

[Speaker 2] thanks, that means a lot. how is work going these days?

[Speaker 1] It's a brain dead job for me, but at least I'm getting paid. I hope to tell the story one day of Burger King to a rich guy.

[Speaker 2] yeah, it is good that you have an income though. haha that would be very inspirational. maybe when you come up with some ideas on what you'd like to do on twitch, I could promote you on my channel

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. Gives me even more motivation!

[Speaker 2] that's great. are your parents still giving you a hard time?

I work at burger king. I flip burgers at work. I like to make money and I work to get away from my parents. I do not like my job at Burger there is not much thinking to it.  I like getting paid.

My mind does not work to program stuff.

I am not an alcoholic or drug addict.

I might study business. I would like to own a business. I don't have a lot of technical skills. I want to watch a Twitch channel about business. I don't know what kind of business I want to run. I have no niche. I feel like I am not good at anything. I feel like I am destined to a life of anonymity.

I do not work.  I stream on twitch.

I used to design video games.

I am an engineering major.

I think happiness can be hard to find.

I have other social media platforms I promote it on and also collab with bigger channels. My channel is successful. I like being looked up to by others that also like what I share.

[Speaker 1] I think I have come up with some ideas for my twitch channel.  Can I run some of my ideas past you?

[Speaker 2] Of course! Tell me what you were thinking. I hope I can be helpful

[Speaker 1] I was thinking of doing a channel that's about video games and eating fast food, but then the real content of the channel would be talking about the business side of running such a channel, and showing viewers exactly what it costs and what it makes and all the metrics that you can follow.

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting. People are always interested in making money.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure if it makes more sense to do two channels though.  One channel would be video games and mukbangs, and the other would be the business stuff.  Or if it makes sense to do it all as one channel.  What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I think one channel makes most sense. It probably would be the most cost effective for you as well.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that makes sense.  And it would take less time.  I still would have to balance this with my job at Burger King.  However, I figure I can get a lot of the food to do mukbangs with from my job.  That will save money.

[Speaker 2] That is true. Always start with a back up plan so you don't get overwhelmed with stress.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm a little worried about that, and having to be consistent about it so that my channel can grow and not wither away, if it even gets to the point that it can wither away.

[Speaker 2] I can always host you if needed.

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing.  I could use all the help I can get and I know you're very successful.

[Speaker 2] I always like to be as helpful as I can. I wish I had a mentor when I started my robot video.

[Speaker 2] oh yeah i bet the weater is amazing for hikes and no not really like i said i enjoy biking so im rather on the large side haha

[Speaker 1] biking is fun too! one way to burn off that baking :-) what's your favorite thing to bake?

[Speaker 2] I do enjoy niking on nice days and i love baking different cakes like red velvet and carrot cake

[Speaker 1] oooh I love red velvet cake with cream cheese icing! do you bake from recipes or do you just sort of know what to do?

[Speaker 2] a bit of both really the more and more i bake a certain thing i start to remember and when im confiedent i will start experimenting have you ever baked?

I have a black lab named Trooper.

I saw three baby owls. I like owls.

like to hike and rock climb. I like being outside. I like to bike.

I do not like hiking.

I have a wife.

I have never seen an owl. I take my dogs on long walks. My dogs are energetic.

I do not really like to hike.I do like to bike. I am a heavier set person.

I have a job. I am a baker. I like baking. I enjoy competitive baking. I like to bake cakes, like carrot cake and red velvet cake. I sometimes use recipes to bake. I like to experiment with baking.

[Speaker 1] How was the weather today? Did you go biking?

[Speaker 2] Not today sadly, had to take Major to the vet.

[Speaker 1] Oh. sorry about that. Could it be that Major is tired of the long walks?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, the vet actually said it's good that he has been walking so much, it's just a simple virus that should go away in a few days.

[Speaker 1] I hope it goes away soon. How is King by the way? I suggest you take him to the vet too. you know viruses

[Speaker 2] The doctor already gave me some medicine and told me to keep them separate, if King starts showing symptoms they said I'd be fine to just give him the same meds Major is taking.

[Speaker 1] That's great. I'm thinking you are home watching over Major. You must have done some baking.. hmmmn yummy.

[Speaker 2] I haven't started yet today, got home from the vet an hour or so but I'm planning on changing things up today and making a bundt cake.

[Speaker 1] You know I could die for cakes. Blow me away by adding cookies.. I'll pick them up when I'm coming home from work

[Speaker 2] Sure, I know a pretty good chocolate chip recipe but I think oatmeal raisin is my specialty.

[Speaker 1] I don't mind trying new stuffs. Who knows, I could get them to replace my favorite

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't be surprised if my oatmeal raisin took place as your favorite, it's definitely mine.

I like to hike. I like cookies. I love red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I like trying new things.

I have a black lab named Trooper.

I saw three baby owls. I like owls.

I do not like hiking.

I have a wife.

I have a job. I am a baker. I enjoy competitive baking. I like to bake cakes, like carrot cake and red velvet cake. I like to experiment with baking. I know a chocolate chip recipe. Oatmeal raisin is my specialty. My oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite.

I had to take Major to the vet. Major has virus. King is fine but I have medicine just in case.

[Speaker 1] I mentioned your baking to one of my coworkers.

[Speaker 2] Oh, really what did they have to say? If they want to see how good I am I'm going to be on that new show Best Baker.

[Speaker 1] I was just about to ask you about reality baking shows! Is Best Baker your favorite? They said to find out where you work, if you're interested in their business.

[Speaker 2] My wife and I own our own business. It is called Baking A Dream. Best Baker is a new show coming out so can't really say it is my favorite, but it will be fun to be on it and get my business name out there.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. That's a great name. Congratulations on getting on the show! When does it start airing?

[Speaker 2] We go start filming next week. And I believe they said it would start airing a month after we finish the last episode. There are 12 of us competing.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow. Best of luck to you. Will your wife be on the show, too?

[Speaker 2] No, she has to stay home and take care the dogs. Since Major has that virus we don't want to leave him with anyone else.

[Speaker 1] That's understandable. When you're on the set for the show, just focus on your baking and nothing else that's going on in your life. Will Major be cured, or will the dog have to deal with the virus forever?

[Speaker 2] He should be fine according to the vet, but we have to see if the medicines work. I am a little stressed leaving her alone to deal with this, but she is telling me she will be fine.

[Speaker 1] That's good. Did the vet say how long it would take Major to recover?

[Speaker 2] No, we just have to see if the medicine work. I think if it doesn't they have 1 other one that they can try.

I have a black lab named Trooper.

I saw three baby owls. I like owls.

I do not like hiking.

I have a wife.

I do not really like to hike. I do like to bike. I am a heavier set person.

I am going on a TV show for baking. I own my own business.

[Speaker 1] How is your Baking show going?

[Speaker 2] it was going well. Tried a new recipe yesterday

[Speaker 1] Oh really? What was the recipe?

[Speaker 2] it was a salted caramel apple cake took almost three hours.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That's pretty impressive. How was it? Where did you get the recipe from?

[Speaker 2] I learned it from my master yes its kinda difficult to make it tasted awesome. how did your hiking trip go?

[Speaker 1] It went really well. I saw a lot of wildlife and had a good time. I'm just glad the weather held out. How are your dogs doing? Have you taken them hiking before?

[Speaker 2] did you see any mountain lions I heard they are dangerous. I have never gone hiking before but I love to. my dogs are sleeping well right now

[Speaker 1] I didn't see any, luckily. Mostly just deer and squirrels. Are you nervous about your upcoming TV appearance?

[Speaker 2] Haha good for you . Yes i'm kind of nervous I don't like public appearances

[Speaker 1] I think you'll do great. Have you been practicing your recipe a lot?

[Speaker 2] yes I think I do well. did you take your dog to hiking?

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

[Speaker 1] That is awesome! What kind of music do you like?

[Speaker 2] Every kind. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I like classical and gospel. I sing at church.

[Speaker 2] My favorite gospel singer is elvis presley. He looks like my pet fish

[Speaker 1] That is funny! My sister is an entertainer. She dances on poles.

[Speaker 2] That must hurt. How old are you?

[Speaker 1] I am 25. I live on a farm and drive a red tractor.

[Speaker 2] A red tractor? I love red tractors

[Speaker 1] Yes. It is my favorite color. How old are you?

[Speaker 2] I just turned 18. We should get married and drive a red tractor

[Speaker 1] That is sweet! I am already married, though.

[Speaker 2] So am I. But we could go hiking and look at the sunset

[Speaker 1] I love hiking! And sunsets. I see amazing sunsets from my tractor.

[Speaker 2] Lol I wish your tractor was orange. Then it would match my wig

I have a sister.

I am 25 years old. I live on a farm. I drive a red tractor. My favorite color is red.

I am married.

I like to hike.

I just turned 18.

I like all kinds of music. I like Elvis Presley. I have a pet fish.

I love red tractors.

I am married. I like to hike.

I have an orange wig.

[Speaker 1] How is your pet fish doing?

[Speaker 2] My fish is doing great, I feel happy too as I got it for my new wife as soon as we got hitched and married.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow. Just like that? But you are so young! When I was your age, I wanted to see the world so I decided to travel!

[Speaker 2] Yah, my parents find it weird but ever since listenting to Elvis Presley I realized what love truly is.. and I found it. What do you live to do while traveling?

[Speaker 1] I worked from place to place while traveling. Like at the youth hostel and such. When I was in Mexico, I was actually a missionary. In England, I joined a soccer group and worked as an assistant coach

[Speaker 2] Speaking of coaching I use to have a coach for my hiking club, we would run miles on those sunny days. I remember it like it was yesterday. Since I love all types of music, we would play different genres every mile of distance we would hike

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! I see you have been very active outdoor as well. Still doing outdoor stuff? I enjoy hiking on the weekend. Sometimes camping too!

[Speaker 2] Yah I love to do outside stuff, it is kinda embarrasing as I wear an orange wig to protect my natural hear from all the hard sweating. Camping would definitely help my orange wig not mess up so much since its more sedentary than hiking.

[Speaker 1] Great! Well just so you know my favorite color is red haha! Recently, I started going to church more often and I found true passion in religion. So I do outdoor stuff less and less

[Speaker 2] Your favorite color is red! Thats so interesting because I have a implement carrier tractor that I use for recreational purposes. What do you do at church choir?  Have you ever sung Elvis Presley?

[Speaker 1] Oh well. I love Elvis Presley but we don't really sing Elvis Presley in church. Mostly gospel music haha! You should come to church with me sometime!

[Speaker 2] Will they allow my orange wig in Church? Ha it seems kind of un-religious to have a modification to my body like that

I like classical and gospel music. I sing in my church choir. I love Elvis Presley and sing gospel at church.

I have a sister.

I am married.

I like hiking and camping.

I just turned 18.

I love red tractors.

I just got married. I found true love. I like to hike. I'm in a hiking club.

I have an orange wig.

[Speaker 1] Does your new wife like doing outdoor stuff with you?

[Speaker 2] She loves too! We actually met in the hiking club I'm in!

[Speaker 1] omg I heard! You just got married didn't you!!!!!! Congrats I'm soooo happy for you. Do you have a honeymoon planned?

[Speaker 2] Thank you! We already had it! We went backpacking in Europe together! It was amazing!

[Speaker 1] Thats awesome! Where in Europe? I was a soccer assistant in England for a bit, I could have told you about the best local places to visit

[Speaker 2] That would have been amazing! We actually were in England for a bit! Are there any outdoor activities you would have recommended?

[Speaker 1] You can't beat a nice walk at Bournemouth Beach watching the sunset

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! I love the beach! It always calms me!

[Speaker 1] Exactly what I'm thinking! Plus it's free. Do you have any plans for the future? Where do you think you're going to settle down?

[Speaker 2] We're going to be moving soon to Colorado! Hopefully lots of hiking and outdoor adventures there!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! Are you planning on renting or do you think you'll try to enter the arena and attempt to buy a house? The market is soo hot right now I decided to wait a year

[Speaker 2] We'll be renting! We still need to save more money before we decide to make the big purchase!! It will take a while probably!

I have a sister.

I am married.

I like hiking and camping. I like to walk and watch the sunset.

I decided to wait a year to buy a house.

I just turned 18.

I love red tractors.

I just got married. I found true love. I like to hike. I met my wife in a hiking club we both are in.

I have an orange wig.

My wife and I went backpacking in Europe for our honeymoon. My wife and I were in England for part of our honeymoon.

The beach calms me.  I love the beach.

[Speaker 1] What are you going to do with your red tractor when you move?

[Speaker 2] I honestly will probably sell it, don't have much use for it when I move

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. Is your wife excited about the move?

[Speaker 2] I think so, we've visited Colorado quite often, and it is simply beautiful. So many amazing places to go camp and hike. You'll have to visit sometime!

[Speaker 1] I'd love to! I've been before but never with the benefit of a local to show me around. Let me know once you get settled, and we'll plan! Too bad there are no beaches in Colorado -- well, you could probably find a man-made one or lake of course.

[Speaker 2] Definitely. I think we will save our vacations for the beach,so when we go it is extra special! Why did you decided to wait a year to buy a house?

[Speaker 1] The market just isn't great right now. Houses are selling for thousands more than they would have just a few months ago. Plus, the more I can save for a downpayment, the better. Have you thought any more about how long you might wait to buy?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I would say around the same time as you. You make so many great poins. I just want to wait until we can take back control with a buyer's market.

[Speaker 1] I used to work for a cell phone company and always knew the tips and tricks for getting devices and plans as cheap as possible. It makes me want to go to real estate school to buy a house and get the best possible deal. I probably won't take it that far, but I just hate to feel like I'd be spending thousands and thousands more than I'd have to if I just had more knowledge.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it makes it very difficult to know if you are getting a good deal or not. Where are you considering living? I know you mentioned living in Mexico and England back in the day

[Speaker 1] The options are wide open right now before we have any kids and feel the need to really settle. Exciting thought -- being able to go anywhere, but also a huge decision. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I think Colorado. We are going there because it is a place we have always dreamed of living in!

I have a sister.

I worked at a youth hostel. I worked as a missionary in Mexico and worked as a soccer assistant coach in England. I used to work for a cell phone company. I like to save money and take advantage of deals.

I decided to wait a year to buy a house until the market settles down and I have more money for a down payment.

I have never been to Colorado.

I live with my spouse but do not have any children. I have lived in England and Mexico in the past.

I just turned 18.

I love red tractors. I have a red tractor.

I have an orange wig.

The beach calms me.  I love the beach.

After my wife and I move to Colorado we will rent before we decide to buy a property. I enjoy outdoor activities like camping and hiking.  am also waiting to buy a house until the market settles. Colorado is my ideal place to live.

[Speaker 1] I am thinking more seriously about going to real estate school.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome. Do you have any idea when the housing market will settle down? We are looking forward to buying property some day.

[Speaker 1] I think within the next year or two it will settle down. You are smart to look into buying property. Land almost always appreciates in value.

[Speaker 2] I hope so! And I need enough land to be able to use my tractor. What was your favorite thing about coaching soccer in England?

[Speaker 1] The fans, for sure. I have never seen fans as dedicated as they are here. You should come out and watch a game sometime.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to. When we were in England for our honeymoon I didn't get to see any soccer matches. How has your tractor been working? My seat is broken - do you know of any good deals I can get on a new one?

[Speaker 1] My tractor is running clean and smooth. I try and keep it maintained as well as possible. I would check justtractorseats.com, they have a lot of really good deals.

[Speaker 2] That is good advice! I will visit that website today. Speaking of the internet, I found that somebody posted on YouTube a whole bunch of old Elvis concert footage - you should check it out!

[Speaker 1] I would love that! What was the name of the YouTube channel?

[Speaker 2] I forget the exact channel, but most of the videos were from a concert he did in Guadalajara, Mexico. When you lived in Mexico, were you near Guadalajara?

[Speaker 1] I was actually closer to Mazatlan. There were a lot of tourists there, but I really enjoyed it. The weather was awesome!

[Speaker 2] Does Mazatlan have a beach? I hear Mexico has fantastic beaches.

[Speaker 1] My nationality is from somalia

[Speaker 2] That's very interesting. What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I play games with my husband.

[Speaker 2] That is great. What games do you play?

[Speaker 1] Video games usually. You live in united states all your life?

[Speaker 2] I have lived in the persian gulf but I'm from west virginia. What about yourself?

[Speaker 1] I came after my aunt helped me escaped somalia when I was young

[Speaker 2] I have three horses, how many children do you have?

[Speaker 1] Two kids. They love our new house. You have kids?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, just got married and pretty busy on the farm

[Speaker 1] Nice. I've been studying farmers finances as part of my economics major

[Speaker 2] Wow, complicated field that's changing everyday

[Speaker 1] Definitely. I try to keep my brain sharp by eating a raw diet

[Speaker 2] Me too, lucky to be on the farm, do you find your health improved?

[Speaker 1] I do. I make sure to relax too by seeing the rolling stones once a year

[Speaker 2] Great band! I always have some rock playing while I work

[Speaker 1] Do you work elsewhere besides the farm?

[Speaker 2] Not during harvest, my father needs full time help, you?

[Speaker 1] I'm a full time college student right now while my wife supports us

[Speaker 2] That is great, building a family takes time, good luck

I am married.

I have two children. I just moved into a new house.

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

I am a full time college student. I am an economics major.

I have three horses.

I am newly married. I work on a farm. I work with my father. I have no children.

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

[Speaker 1] So, how are you and the wife enjoying married life?

[Speaker 2] we love it. But I guess all newly married couple love it at first, :)

[Speaker 1] I love it still, even after many years! does your wife work on the farm with you?

[Speaker 2] No, she is a teacher. Plus she is from the city and knows nothing about a farm

[Speaker 1] I grew up in the city and moving to a more rural place was crazy for me, especially as a student. I had no idea how much work went into maintaining a home!

[Speaker 2] I can see were it is difficult at first. You basically have to work 24 hours taking care of the animals. But I grew up doing it so it is second nature to me

[Speaker 1] that must be so rewarding though, to work with animals and land like that. which part of it is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] the animals, nothing beats seeing a fowl being born and watching it grow up. I imagine it is like having kids.

[Speaker 1] that's so awesome. do you raise/care for the animals all their lives? sell them? what type of farm is it?

[Speaker 2] we have chickens running around and a few cows but we mostly have horses which we do sell

[Speaker 1] that's amazing. my wife grew up in kentucky so she loves horses because of derby! today is derby day. do you watch the races?

[Speaker 2] wow, I did not realized that it was Derby day. I think they did not have one last year?

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

I have been married for many years. I love being married.

I grew up in the city. I moved to the country as a student. It was a lot of work.

My wife grew up in Kentucky. She loves the derby.

I have three horses.

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

I am newly married. I love being married. My wife is from the city. My wife is a teacher.

[Speaker 1] How many horses have you sold?

[Speaker 2] None yet. I seem to be collecting them as I can not bare to part with them. Have you ever rode a horse before?

[Speaker 1] I have never been on a horse before! What is the best thing about horse riding?

[Speaker 2] You should definitely have a go, it is really exciting. I enjoy the fact you need to have a really close bond with the horse in order to get it to do what you want.

[Speaker 1] But as a beginner I'd never have a close bond. It is quite a dangerous activity isn't it?

[Speaker 2] Actually, the bond mostly comes from the horse. If you have a good horse you can give them your full trust. It is only dangerous if you do something silly that upsets the horse.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I guess I should really try it out. I actually like taking care of animals too, if you can count my dog.

[Speaker 2] That is how I got into horses. I always had an interest in them and grew up around them on a farm. It is like working a second job but its worth it. Maybe you could share a horse with another person to get started?

[Speaker 1] I'd have to get lessons I think, there are a few stables around me, but I haven't looked into even trying to ride.

[Speaker 2] Most stables will allow a free trial ride so that you can see if it is something you are interested in. If you got a horse where would you keep it?

[Speaker 1] The horse would have to live in professionally run stables, I just don't have any space or experience at all with horses. My wife loves horse racing but more from a gambling perspective.

[Speaker 2] That is probably a good idea. Some stables will look after your horse as well. This then allows you to just focus on riding. Does you wife ever win at the horse races?

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

I have not riden a horse before. I live near stables. I do not have extra space for a horse or experience in taking care of horses.

I have a dog. I like taking care of animals.

I have three horses. I have close bonds with horses. I grew up on a farm.

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

[Speaker 1] I looked into riding horses and there is a stable nearby.  I'm thinking of taking a ride this weekend.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea! Is your wife going with you?!

[Speaker 1] Yes! She is really excited to go, she has more experience with horses than I do, so she'll be helping me out quite a bit. Have you been riding lately?

[Speaker 2] That's exciting! I have been so busy with work that I haven't been able to ride much outside of the farm. Are you going to stay at the stable? Or go on a trail ride?

[Speaker 1] We'll probably be around the stable most of the time, so I can get used to it. If we have time, I'd love to do a short ride. Do you have any pointers for me?

[Speaker 2] Just stay strong and confident! The horse can tell if you are nervous. I am sure your wife and instructor will help you out a lot. It's always best to start on a calm, even tempered horse.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! I will definitely keep that in mind. Have you sold any of your horses lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. I think about 5 mares last week! Business has been steady.

[Speaker 1] That is great! Are they mostly sold locally, or do they get sold to customers from far away?

[Speaker 2] As of late, the local scene has been popping off! Every now and then I will receive a call from an out of state client. I prefer to keep the horses close. Cheaper on travel costs!

[Speaker 1] ?I bet! How is the farm doing overall? Are you keeping busy?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. Very busy! You will have to bring your wife and stop by one day. My wife is still dying to meet y'all!

I am on a raw food diet.

I like the Rolling Stones.

I grew up taking care of animals. I love taking care of the animals. I have horses that I sell. I ride horses.

I have been very busy at the farm.

[Speaker 1] How are things at the farm?  Is business still steady?

[Speaker 2] Good, the horses have been a lot of work lately. I'm getting ready to sell one of them.

[Speaker 1] Do you get sad when you sell a horse that you've raised and taken care of?

[Speaker 2] It is always a bit hard. You take so much time and care with them but you know they are bringing joy to their new owners.

[Speaker 1] I bet.  What does your wife teach and what ages does she teach?

[Speaker 2] My wife teaches kindergarten, so ages 4-5. She often brings the kids for a field trip to the farm which works out nicely.

[Speaker 1] I bet they love that.  I don't think I ever got to do anything that exciting when I was in kindergarten.

[Speaker 2] No? How old are your kids? Maybe you could bring them one day to check things out.

[Speaker 1] My oldest is 8 and my youngest is 6.  I think they'd be thrilled to come out and see your place.
