[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight

[Speaker 2] I am in just got in from walking my dog. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm very well, thank you for asking. I'm going for a walk later.

[Speaker 2] Will you be walking alone?

[Speaker 1] No, my husband will be going with me. We like to explore our city.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. What do you and your husband do?

[Speaker 1] I give music lessons and do volunteer work. He's a detective.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is so interesting. I play pro tennis.

[Speaker 1] I have never played, is it hard?

[Speaker 2] Not really no just have to focus. Hard to play being pregnant though.

[Speaker 1] Oh, lucky you. Congrats! We have teens.

[Speaker 2] Thank you this, is my third. Nervous about the teen years. Is it hard?

[Speaker 1] Teens are crazy, I swear they need more supervision than toddlers.

[Speaker 2] Oh my, how old are they?

[Speaker 1] The boys are 15 16, our girl is 14. All are honor students, but sometimes.

[Speaker 2] How do you handle them dating?

I have a husband. I like going on walks with my husband to explore the city. My husband is a detective.

I do volunteer work and teach music.

I have not played tennis.

I have teen children.

I have a dog.

I play professional tennis.

I am pregnant. I have 2 kids and I am expecting another. I am nervous about teen years as I feel they could be hard.

[Speaker 1] You won't believe it! My eldest is dating a girl from his school. he just told me about it and I realized I have to handle this well or else he could break hearts! I know you wanted to know about the teens dating but this will be my first experience too. Will update you!

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh good luck!! Keep me updated!! The thought of it scares me to death. It's awesome you have a relationship where he feels comfortable telling you.

[Speaker 1] I know! It really is such a blessing. How were you during those critical years? I was a mess!

[Speaker 2] My kiddos are still young so all that's in my future. Do you know the girl he's dating? Are you thinking of inviting her over and getting to know her as a family?

[Speaker 1] Of course, me and the husband might take them out to around the city one of these days. We love visiting places and maybe they'd enjoy coming along.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like an awesome idea! Hopefully she'll feel comfortable talking to you and you can make sure your son is treating her right! It must be intimidating to date one of your kids since your husband is a detective haha

[Speaker 1] It is, but I have some smart kids so their significant other is most likely just as smart! How far along are you in your pregnancy? Do you happen to know what gender it is yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I just went for my six months ultrasound and the tech confirmed it's a girl. We're thrilled. Can't believe it's only a couple months until she's here.

[Speaker 1] I'm so excited for you! Are you other kids male? You finally get the trifecta, haha. Hope it all goes soundly.

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much! We already have a son and a daughter so this little girl is just the cherry on top. Trying to stay healthy with heaps of walking, although I'll probably have to give up tennis soon.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, I've never played tennis. It's a shame but that's the conditions that come with having kids. Hope it all works out well and you have a pregnancy with litlte to no complications.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! Do you play any sports? Even though tennis is what I decided to go pro with, I love soccer and swimming as well.

I do volunteer work and teach music.

I have not played tennis.

I feel handling teens is crazy as they need more supervision. I have 2 boys who are 15 and 16 and one girl who is 14. They all are honor students sometimes. I think my kids are smart.

I've never played tennis.

I have a dog.

I play professional tennis.

I am nervous about teen years as I feel they could be hard. The idea of having a child who is dating is scary to me. I have children who are too young to date yet.

I love soccer and swimming.

[Speaker 1] How long before your due date is it recommended to stop playing tennis?

[Speaker 2] I think it was recommended I stop last week, but I'm still doing a tiny bit of training. Can't help myself.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it's hard to just stop, but I'm sure your doctor wouldn't recommend stopping if it wasn't for a good reason.

[Speaker 2] Yeah the doctors generally know what they're doing but you know what? It's MY body and I think I know it better than anyone else. Although that's just my opinion.

[Speaker 1] it's true that it is your body, but doing certain things while pregnant can cause complications for you and your baby.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you're right. Like I'm saying I'm just winding things down, not really playing just minimal training so I'll be good to keep going briefly. Do you have any advice for a new mother to be?

[Speaker 1] Enjoy the baby stage even when it's hard. it goes so quickly and soon they will be teenager who is talking back and thinking you are super uncool.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I think I'm pretty cool right now, but the kid won't agree I'm sure. I've never had a child before so it's a big thing for me.

[Speaker 1] the sleepless nights with a baby are long, but the years go by so quick and you will miss having that little newborn. every stage of life has it's good parts and it's downsides though.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry if I haven't been clear earlier but my other kids are adopted, I was really lucky to find the father and he'll help me through it as he's been through a pregnancy before with their mother.

[Speaker 1] Oh well that's good that you have someone with experience helping you through this. though I'm sure his knowledge is limited as he's not personally gone through it.

[Speaker 2] Yes it's supposed to be painful, giving birth. People who say that are exaggerate though, aren't they?

I do volunteer work and teach music.

I have not played tennis.

My eldest son just started dating a girl. My husband and I like to go on city outings. I'd like to take my son and the girl he's dating to one of our city outings. I was up all night with my child when he or she was a baby.

I have a dog.

I love soccer and swimming. I play professional tennis.

I am nervous about teen years as I feel they could be hard. The idea of having a child who is dating is scary to me. This is my first pregnancy. I have more than 1 adopted child. Their biological father will help me with the new baby.

[Speaker 1] What do your other children think about the new baby? Are they excited?

[Speaker 2] Heh, well, children never like to play second fiddle to anyone else where their mother is concerned/

[Speaker 1] I can imagine. My two sons and daughters are close together in age, but when my daughter was born, my older boys got jealous of all the attention she got from me.

[Speaker 2] I have a photo of the three-year-old me holding my baby brother shortly after he was born. I do not look happy. I was not pleased.

[Speaker 1] That's funny. I don't know how you manage with all of the kids you're taking care of. Are you going to stop having more kids once your baby girl is born?

[Speaker 2] That's the plan! We simply don't have the resources to have more. I want to raise these kids well, get them out into their own independent lives, and then travel a bit.

[Speaker 1] You sound like you're doing a great job as a parent. How's your tennis career going?

[Speaker 2] So far, so good, but it's gonna take a hit once I have to stop for the pregnancy. You can't stay at the top of your game if you have to take an extended period away from it. Some players are able to recover their former conditioning and proficiency without too much trouble, but I don't know if I'm one of them....

[Speaker 1] I think you'll be able to bounce back from it. I had a hard time getting back into teaching after my third child, my 14-year-old daughter, was born. It

[Speaker 2] Well, teaching is a different animal. I'm just past my prime years for tennis, but I'm still good enough to beat players my age and those younger who aren't as skilled as I am. To take time off and lose fitness for the game at my age might mean the end of my playing career... That doesn't mean I can't be a Pro and teach....

[Speaker 1] There you go. You could always find a new angle to use your tennis skills if you can't play competitive tennis. By the way, have you picked out a name for your baby yet?

[Speaker 2] We've talked about it. We've decided to name her Emma after my grandmother, who was a total Sweetie.

I do volunteer work and teach music.

I have not played tennis.

My sons were jealous of my daughter when she was born. I stopped teaching for a while after my daughter was born.

I have a dog.

I am six months pregnant with a baby girl. I have two children that are already born: a son and a daughter. I am trying to stay healthy with walking. I play tennis, but need to stop soon due to my pregnancy. I am continuing to play tennis during my pregnancy. I know better than my doctors what is good for me. I am not playing tennis hard. I am just training. I still can beat younger players as tennis despite being older and past my time. I am interested in teaching others how to play tennis.

My children are a bit jealous of the newborn. I have a younger brother. I was not happy when he was born.

I don't plan on having any more kids.

I want to name my daughter Emma after my grandmother.

[Speaker 1] I decided to go play tennis at a local court yesterday with a couple of friends, and I think it went well. I wasn't very good at it, but I think I got the hang of it towards the end. I would be interested in taking some classes to get better at it, could you teach me as well?

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Of course I am happy to teach you so you can learn. We can take it slowly at first, seeing as I'm pregnant too. Who won during your game yesterday?

[Speaker 1] I definitely did not win but I scared my opponent a few times with some really fast shots. how long after the birth do you think you will be back playing at full capacity?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure you did, that's awesome! You'll get better in to time. You know what they say, right? Practice makes perfect! Probably a couple of weeks. I can't want to be able to be fully active again, and it will help me lose the pregnancy weight!

[Speaker 1] Yes it will be a really good way to get back to a normal weight again. I remember mine taking ages to shift after my kids!

[Speaker 2] Exactly, and exercising is always much easier when it's something you enjoy. Really? Yeah, it's difficult to lose that baby belly. Just how long did it take for you to back to your normal weight?

[Speaker 1] About 4 years but I never really got my eating back under control for a while. I wish I had an active hobby like yours at the time as it would have helped lots.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that's quite a long time! That's very true, I really enjoy keeping active as much as I can. I almost forgot to ask, how is the music teaching going?

[Speaker 1] It is going very well. One of the students is definitely going to be a star one day. He can just pick up any instrument and get a good sound of it straight away.

[Speaker 2] He sure sounds talented! I wish I took the time to learn an instrument when I was younger, I think it would be so cool to be able to play. I think I'd have chosen the guitar or the drums!

[Speaker 1] You can still start now. The best thing is to just get started and give it a try.

[Speaker 2] I suppose it's never too late! You're right. Maybe we can teach an old dog, new tricks! Perhaps in exchange for tennis lessons, you could teach me how to play sometime?

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I'm doing great I just got an apartment

[Speaker 1] That's wonderful, you should decorate with some pretty roses!

[Speaker 2] Hmm would you mean live roses in a vase or paint them on the wals?

[Speaker 1] I would prefer live roses, I have a garden full of them!

[Speaker 2] I wis I could grow stuff but too busy going to college

[Speaker 1] Does your new apartment have a nice sun room to sit out and drink fancy tea?

[Speaker 2] Nope very small studio since I'm going to college

[Speaker 1] You should use any spare time to go to a museum, you might see me!

[Speaker 2] Do work work there or just go to enjoy it..?

[Speaker 1] I'm the best tour guide around!

[Speaker 2] Nice you can exercise while you work

[Speaker 1] Oh are you into fitness type things?

[Speaker 2] Not really I get my exercise working in a bar to pay for school

I just got an apartment: a small studio.

I attend college. I work in a bar to help afford school.

[Speaker 1] How is school going? I bet you must be ready for spring break

[Speaker 2] School is going well. Yes I cant wait to have spring break so I can work full time. I bet that will be a busy period for you at the museum.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear it's going well, but breaks are definitely always nice! And it'll for sure be busy. We get all kinds of interesting people during spring break lol. How are you settling in to the new place?

[Speaker 2] I know right! I am settling in well its a bit better than my former place

[Speaker 1] Do you have everything all decorated and moved in nicely? I wish I could send you some roses from my garden. They make great decoration.

[Speaker 2] Oh thats sound nice I will appreciate that will make it more colorful for me ... Thank you sending in big hug for that

[Speaker 1] Do you think you'll be visiting the museum during spring break?

[Speaker 2] I will pass for this year maybe next year I should take time to visit the museum

[Speaker 1] I hope you have lots of fun on your break

[Speaker 2] I doubt that thou. I wish I can come help you on your farm

[Speaker 1] I'm sure there will be lots of cool things to do! Stay positive and enjoy the time off.

[Speaker 2] I appreciate that you been awesome

I have a garden with loads of roses in.
I'm a tour guide at a museum.
I have a farm.

I just moved to an apartment: a small studio.

[Speaker 1] Did you decided what your going to do for spring break? The museum decided to have a special event for it.

[Speaker 2] No I didn't decide yet. I'm having some real trouble! I know everyone likes to party but I should probably just take it easy, y'know?

[Speaker 1] The event at the museum will be low key and not a lot of partying. It might be good for you as I think many college kids typically attend.

[Speaker 2] I might just take you up on that. I've been working so much at the bar I'm sick of any kind of loud noise, so a museum sounds like a great change of pace! How has work been?

[Speaker 1] It's good. I always enjoying my time at the museum. Sorry to hear you've been working so much at the bar. How is that working out with your studies?

[Speaker 2] It's always a very delicate balance! Just trying to do my best. Glad to hear you're enjoying work. How many tours do you generally do a day?

[Speaker 1] I typically do a couple a day but it depends on the current exhibit. Things tend to be a bit busy in the summer months.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense, more people coming and going. Is there a particular piece or room that you gravitate towards, or do you just love it all?

[Speaker 1] I just love it all. There is just so much to see and learn. I suppose it might seem boring to some people. Have you been to the museum in the past?

[Speaker 2] I went as a kid but I know I didn't pay the attention the art work deserved. It will be nice to go back and really absorb all the information and atmosphere!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think you would appreciate it much more now.

[Speaker 2] Me too. I could do with some inspiration for decorating my new place, too, although obviously on a much smaller budget!

I have a garden with loads of roses in.

I'm a tour guide at a museum. I love the museum exhibits.

I have a farm.

I attend college. I work in a bar to help afford school part time. I'm sick of loud noise.

I went to the museum as a kid.

[Speaker 1] I lead a tour through the museum for 20 people yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds hectic. I'm sure they enjoyed the tour - museums are great. Are your roses coming in yet?

[Speaker 1] 20 people is a great number though. It is large enough to feel pressured into doing a good job but small enough that it still feels quite personal. The roses are doing really well, it must be all the god weather we have been having.

[Speaker 2] I bet they're beautiful. I wish I had room for a garden, my place is so cramped though.

[Speaker 1] I do enjoy having my garden. You can still have some planets and a small garden if you have a window or balcony.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I could do a window box, I have so little time to care for plants though, between school and work.

[Speaker 1] If you get the right plants they look after themselves. You need something that doesn't mind getting a bit dry.

[Speaker 2] What would you recommend for a window box? And how's the rest of the farm doing? How are all those animals?

[Speaker 1] Good plants for a window box would be ivy. They are very hard to kill.

[Speaker 2] But won't Ivy grow up over the windows? Or do you mean that hanging Ivy? Those are pretty

[Speaker 1] You can let it hang down. Maybe just cut it back every now an then to stop it going mad.

[Speaker 2] I'll definitely look into it. Did you ever buy those new sheep you were looking at?

I have a garden with loads of roses in.

I have a farm. I work at a farm that has animals.

I lead up to 20 people at a time. I think leading 20 people during a tour is a great motivator for me to do a good job. I don't like leading more than that for a tour. I grow roses that are doing good.

I went to the museum as a kid.

I wish I had space to grow a garden at my home. I am interested in having a window box for some plants. I don't have much time to take care of plants. I am busy with work and school.

[Speaker 1] What museums have you been to before? Is there a particular subject you like to learn more about, such as art or history?

[Speaker 2] My favorite has always been the Museum of Natural History.

[Speaker 1] oh that is cool, I have worked there before, great experience.

[Speaker 2] We would go there every year when I was a kid. I still try to get back there when I can. What did you do there?

[Speaker 1] I was a tour guide! sometimes I had to lead over 20 people at a go because it is such a popular museum.

[Speaker 2] I love the museum tour guides. They always make it fun to learn. How did that work out for you?

[Speaker 1] sometimes it was a bit stressful but I got the job done at the end of the day. Anyway, how is college going for you?

[Speaker 2] It's going well I guess, but I wish I had more time for museums. That would be much more fun.

[Speaker 1] they are fun but the novelty does wear off a little bit when its your job to work at museums.

[Speaker 2] I can see that, but every time I go I always learned so much about history. I still love it to this day.

[Speaker 1] i agree you do learn a lot! If only you weren't so busy with school and work you could visit the museums on a regular basis

[Speaker 2] I think I will go back to the museum on my next semester break to relive a little bit of the nostalgia.


I like boy bands.

I'm in my late thirties.

I have gotten much better at salsa dancing.

I enjoy oldies music.

I help out for free whenever I can.

I am social with others.

I'm a wwe superstar.

I donate my time to helping those who are less fortunate.

[Speaker 1] Hello! You like tupac or new kids on the block?

[Speaker 2] I liked new kids on the block when I was a kid in the 90s!

[Speaker 1] I was born in 1981. I take dance lessons too.

[Speaker 2] I cannot dance at all. But I can wrestle!

[Speaker 1] I can not wrestle. I'm afraid I'd break something.

[Speaker 2] I, being a professional wrestler, have broken a few bones...

[Speaker 1] I bet. Is it really dangerous, like portrayed on tv?

[Speaker 2] No, it is all fake. You only get hurt if you aren't paying attention.

[Speaker 1] I would get hurt a lot, with my adhd

[Speaker 2] I see, do you take any medication for that?

[Speaker 1] No, it is entirely diet controlled.

[Speaker 2] Wow, so you like avoid certain foods or something?

[Speaker 1] I do. I had to go to a nutritionist. I also take fish oil.

[Speaker 2] Do you think it is working?

[Speaker 1] I do. What else do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I volunteer at a shelter. I was homeless once, I want to give back


I was raised on a horse farm.

My family has raised horses for a generations.

I am from a small town.

I dream of moving to the city.

My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate.

I love going to the park with my three children and my wife.

My wife and kids are the best.

I'm a plumber.

I spent my childhood around barn animals.

We have had thoroughbreds for ages.

The city I am from has a very low population.

I want to live in an urban area.

I like cocoa flavored products.

I enjoy relaxing and spending time with my family at a local playground.

My spouse and children are amazing.

I know how to work with my hands.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you today?

[Speaker 2] Very well, now that the wife and kiddos are in bed.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a big family?

[Speaker 2] We have three kiddos, so there is never any ice cream in the house.

[Speaker 1] You should start hiding it! I come a large family and I sometimes do the same.

[Speaker 2] I tried hiding it in the peas, but my wife found it.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you will need to sneak off to the ice cream shop alone sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Its easily done on the way to clients houses, plumbers are always on the go.

[Speaker 1] There aren't any ice cream shops near me, I live in a very small town.

[Speaker 2] We go on the way to the parks too, in the next town.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! Do you live in a large city? That is my dream.

[Speaker 2] I don't. I live in the country, with dogs, kids and chaos.

[Speaker 1] I live on a big horse farm, I was born and raised here.

[Speaker 2] That would be amazing. I love horses.

[Speaker 1] They are amazing animals. Honestly, I prefer them over most people.

[Speaker 2] I prefer animals over most people too.

I came from a large family. I like ice cream.

I have a wife and three children. My children like ice cream.

I am a plumber.

I live in the country. I have dogs.

I love horses. I love animals.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from riding one of my horses.

[Speaker 2] Well, that makes for a wonderful morning outing. I haven't ridden today.

[Speaker 1] It was very enjoyable! When was the last time you went horseback riding?

[Speaker 2] About a week ago. I've been so busy with my plumping business. Seems like every tap around here is leaking. Do you ride often?

[Speaker 1] Everyday. The horses on the farm need to get their exercise. Do your kids like riding as well?

[Speaker 2] They do, but they're just learning to trot. Every time I take them, we go for ice cream afterwards. I'm not sure what they like more - the horses or the cones.

[Speaker 1] Ice cream sounds like a great treat. I might go get some myself. What flavors do you enjoy?

[Speaker 2] I'm kind of boring. Usually a good quality vanilla is my fave. My kids like those space color ones that stain their faces. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Salted Oreo. It sounds odd but it is amazing!

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'd probably like that. Here in the country there a little shop that sells the best salted caramel. After a big plumping job, I treat myself.

[Speaker 1] The farm might need some plumbing work soon. Do you work on older buildings?

[Speaker 2] Yes, all kinds of buildings. Not to brag, but I'm the best around here. Plus my prices are reasonable. Let me know if you'd like a quote.

I came from a large family.

I might need a plumber soon for my farm.

I have a wife and three children.

I ride horses. The last time I rode a horse was about one week ago.

Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor.

I am a plumber. I feel I am good at my job and that I offer reasonable prices.

[Speaker 1] Ben and Jerry's saw one of my Twitter comments about their Chubby Hubby ice cream, and they reached out to me to be part of their next ad campaign!! Crazy!! I'm so excited!

[Speaker 2] Wow! That is so exciting! What do they want you to do for the ad?

[Speaker 1] The want to come to the farm and do a set up for the commercial. I will be riding a horse and eating ice cream. My two favorite things!

[Speaker 2] That is so cool! I assume you will be riding one of your own horses?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. If we need another person in the commercial, I will suggest you. You have a lot of experience in the saddle too. Are you interested?

[Speaker 2] Sure, that sounds like fun! So will you be eating Chubby Hubby ice cream?

[Speaker 1] You know it! I wouldn't have it any other way. You can eat Vanilla if you get to be in it too!

[Speaker 2] Yes, that one is my favorite. I've never tried eating ice cream while riding a horse though. Have you?

[Speaker 1] No. It may be messy! I guess I will find out.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I guess you will! And maybe me too! So what is the name of the horse you will ride?

[Speaker 1] Trigger. I know it's not original, but it's easy to remember.

[Speaker 2] Nice! And what kind of horse is Trigger?

I came from a large family.

I live on a horse farm in a small town. I was born and raised on a horse farm. I love horses. I own horses. I ride horses daily. One of my horses is named Trigger.

I like ice cream. Salted Oreo is my favorite ice cream flavor. I am on Twitter and I commented about Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream. Ben & Jerry asked me to be a part of their advertising campaign.

I will do the commercial at the farm.

I ride a lot.

I have a wife and three children.

I ride horses a lot. The last time I rode a horse was about one week ago.

[Speaker 1] Since you are coming to my farm, do you want to bring your horse or ride one of mine?

[Speaker 2] If you don't mind, I will bring my own. I'm very excited, but not as excited as the kids!

[Speaker 1] Okay sounds great! should I pick up some ice cream for everyone too?

[Speaker 2] Please do. Just make sure you have some vanilla!!! How many horses do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have 5 horses right now and I'm thinking of going to the auction to rescue some more since I have the room.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes the county you live in has horses they have rescued and give them to a good home for free!!!

[Speaker 1] thanks. i'll look into that too. I just want to give a loving home to as many horses as possible.

[Speaker 2] I know. They are a lot of work, but if you enjoy them.. They are the best things in the world.

[Speaker 1] I do enjoy it a lot. so anything else I should get for when you visit besides vanilla ice cream?

[Speaker 2] No. You have already done enough. If we need anything else, I will bring it. Again, thanks for the invite.

[Speaker 1] oh I don't mind getting some other snacks. I just want to make sure it's something your kids like.

[Speaker 2] They like everything, but they will be excited to see all the horses.

I came from a large family.

I live on a horse farm in a small town. I was born and raised on a horse farm. I love horses. I own 5 horses. I ride horses daily. One of my horses is named Trigger.

I will do the commercial at the farm.

I ride a lot.

I have a large farm. I'm a good and accommodating host.

I have a wife and three children.

I live in the country. I have dogs. I love horses. I love animals. I have my own horse.

My children are just starting to learn to ride horses. I'm not sure how much my children like riding horses, but I know they like ice cream. My kids aren't picky eaters.

[Speaker 1] I contacted the county on your recommendation, and they actually have several horses that need new homes, and I'm going to see one of them tomorrow!

[Speaker 2] That's so awesome.  I hope it works out for you.  Would you only get one or do you have room for more?

[Speaker 1] I would get as many as they have. It is terrible that horses are left uncared for. I can't wait to see them. Maybe your children will come visit and see the horses.

[Speaker 2] For sure.  They would be so excited to see them.  And if you get a "rescue" horse, it is a learning experience for them as well.  Show them how to give back and take care of unwanted animals.

[Speaker 1] Yes absolutely! I have also planned on having the horses in the background when I do the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream advertising campaign. What kind of ice cream is your children's favorite?

[Speaker 2] Well, of course you know I love vanilla.  They will eat pretty much anything, but probably chocolate or mint chocolate chip.  Cherry Garcia is a good ben & jerry's one isnt it?

[Speaker 1] Yes the Cherry Garcia is quite good but my favorite is hopefully what will be in the advertising campaign. I bet you have been extremely busy being a plumber this time of year.

[Speaker 2] Oh its always busy, which I'm not complaining about.  It pays the bills haha. But if definately is a steady job, no one wants to stick their hands in the places I do lol

[Speaker 1] Yes plumbers are hard to find in the country. My horse Trigger chewed through a rubber pipe going to our house and needless to say we have water all over our yard. Trigger is a bit trouble.

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  I admit that made me laugh a little at the sight of him chewing a pipe.  Animals are so funny but they can cause some problems, can't they?  Did it cost a lot to fix or have you not fixed it yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes the fix was costly because the plumber had to travel 100 miles to get to us. He was the only plumber available. The price tag was over $1,300. Thanks Trigger!

[Speaker 2] That's terrible!  Well, next time try calling me. Maybe I can come out there, or talk you through the repair on the phone.

[Speaker 2] Yes we do. Mine are usually the best


I am a bee farmer.
My favorite food is papaya.
I married a super model from italy.
I've zero family that I am close to.

I'm scared of dying.

Knitting is my passion.

I've a dogs.

The county wide bake sale is where I feel most at home.

I harvest honey for a living.

I love tropical fruits.

My wife was on the cover of vogue and is italian.

I'm lonely a lot of times.

I live life fully.
I like crafting things.
I am a pet owner.
I enjoy eating pastries.

[Speaker 1] Hi, just got back from tending my bees!

[Speaker 2] Oh, hi you must be buzzing? My dogs are afraid of bees.

[Speaker 1] Ha, I love dogs, but my italian wife doesn't!

[Speaker 2] No bees for me, it is a scary way to die. An allergic reaction.

[Speaker 1] I understand, I'm glad I'm not allergic to papaya, I eat a lot of it!

[Speaker 2] It is a healthy fruit. I love baked goods it is my heaven.

[Speaker 1] My mom used to bake, but I don't see her anymore.

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear that. My mom knitted and passed it on to me.

[Speaker 1] That is great, could you knit something for my wife?

[Speaker 2] Sure, christmas is near so scarfs are in the works for the family.

[Speaker 1] She models clothing, so she may wear it on the runway!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, I always dreamed about my creations on the catwalk.

[Speaker 1] I think your scarfs would look wonderful!

[Speaker 2] There are very unique and one of a kind I will send you pictures.

My wife is Italian. I love dogs. My wife doesn't like dogs.

My mom used to bake.

My wife models clothing.

I have dogs. They are afraid of bees. I am scared of bees.

I love baked goods.

[Speaker 1] I wish that your dreams come true in the nearing future.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for that! I've been working on many new designs for the catwalk... in my head lol. I'd love to make them real! And when I do your wife can model for me lol.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure she'd love to do that, she loves clothes but then again most women do. You should definitely try to do something with your fashion aspirations.

[Speaker 2] Have you convinced your wife to let you get a dog yet, or does she still really not like them? I don't know what I would do without my dogs. I've considered creating clothes for them...

[Speaker 1] She hates dogs and I've tried so many times to change her mind but Ithink she had a bad experience when she was younger back in Italy. I understand I suppose but it does frustrate me a bit.

[Speaker 2] Aw, I didn't know something bad happened to her. I can definitely understand that a bit more, but I hope she can heal from that and realize all dogs are different. On an unrelated note, I was curious to go out and try papaya after our chat since you love it so much... and wow! I love it!

[Speaker 1] It is so good for you. I love it. People say healthy foods aren't good for you but try papaya, pineapple and mango in a bowl and it's like heaven. Full of vitamins too.

[Speaker 2] I've always loved fruits, but for some reason I hadn't tried papaya. Healthy foods are the best! I do love baking and eating sweets, but I do my best to not overdo it.

[Speaker 1] It's so tempting to just eat bad foods, there is so much out there that it's hard to avoid it. I'm glad that you have finally tried it. It's not always easy to get hold of.

[Speaker 2] Most "bad" foods are fine in moderation, so that's something to consider if you have a craving every once in a while. Life is too short to avoid sweets forever!

[Speaker 1] I know but the older I get the more serious I'm taking my diet. I think the choices we make now stay with us for a long time.

[Speaker 2] That's definitely a good way to look at it. As much as I want to enjoy my youth, I don't want to be unwell in my old age. I don't like thinking about getting older because it makes me think about how my dogs won't be around forever.

I eat papaya a lot. I am not allergic to it. I like papaya and tropical fruits.

My mom used to bake.

My wife models clothing.

I love baked goods.

I dreamed about my creations on the catwalk. I want to be a clothes designer.

I like papaya. I love fruits.

[Speaker 1] I have a new papaya recipe that I discovered and want to share.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. Is it a savory or sweet recipe?

[Speaker 1] It is a sweet recipe, I've previously done savory recipes and I wanted to try something new. What are some of your favorite baked goods?

[Speaker 2] I love apple crumbles. Though I had the best cream pie the other day. It was a salted caramel with chocolate crust.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds delicious, I've had some pretty good apple crumbles before but never a salted caramel cream pie. What types of fruit do you think make the best pastries ?

[Speaker 2] You know I'm not sure. Probably strawberry? I love salted caramel everything. Forget pumpkin spice as the fall flavor.

[Speaker 1] I do think strawberry makes some pretty tasty pastries. I've got to try salted caramel flavored pastries more. Yes, pumpkin spice is definitely overrated at this point.

[Speaker 2] Are you making the papaya recipe for mothers day?

[Speaker 1] Yes, my mother's favorite fruit is papayas, so I'm trying a papaya tart recipe for mother's day. What are your plans for mother's day?

[Speaker 2] I am having a brunch at her house. I got her some flowers today that I hope she likes.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds lovely, I'm sure it'll be a nice time. What kind of flowers did you get her?

[Speaker 2] Im not quite sure to be honest. But they are purple and yellow which are her favorite colors.

My mom used to bake. My mothers favorite fruit is papaya. I am making her a tart for mothers day.

My wife models clothing.

I have previously cooked savor food. I like apple crumble.

I like papaya. I love fruits. I like apple crumble.

I love baked goods. I enjoy cream pie. I love salted caramel. I am having brunch with my mum for mothers day. My mums favorite colours are purple and yellow.

[Speaker 1] I made the tart and my first attempt is delicious is i do say so myself!

[Speaker 2] What kind of fruit did you end up using for it? Do you think she will be excited about it?

[Speaker 1] I went for a strawberry kiwi tart. I wanted to try something different.

[Speaker 2] I think that might be really interesting. I wonder if it would be good with like vanilla icecream or something

[Speaker 1] I will have to try it and let you know. what's your favorite flavor of tart?

[Speaker 2] I like them with cherry. But I always wondered if they could make them with blackberries or something. I have not tried a bunch of flavors.

[Speaker 1] I bet blackberries would taste really good. I want to try a savory tart flavor some time. it sounds interesting.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that does sound interesting. I wonder if you could do one with bacon? They seem to be making everything with bacon now.

[Speaker 1] I'm going to have to google that and find out. I'll try anything with bacon once!

[Speaker 2] I like bacon wrapped jalapenos or mushrooms filled with cream cheese and Velveeta. Now if there could be a tart like that, I would eat them always.

[Speaker 1] you should just try it and see how it goes.

[Speaker 2] I am not so good at baking. Though if I could make a salted caramel one, I would try really hard to do that and get it right.

My wife models clothing.

I bake tart. I find recipes via google.

I like cherry tart. I would like to try savory tart. I like savory food like bacon, jalapenos, mushrooms and cream.

I am not great at baking.

[Speaker 1] Did you try to make your salted caramel tart?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but it didn't come out right. I think I left out an important ingredient or something.

[Speaker 1] I have done that before when I have made my apple crumble.  I am not a great baker either but I keep trying.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I'm sure I would love whatever you baked! I guess I just need more practice.

[Speaker 1] Practice makes perfect as they say, LOL! I have a lot of time on my hands to keep practicing sine my wife is always working modeling.

[Speaker 2] That's very cool. Does she make a lot of money doing that? I would love for her to model my clothing designs!

[Speaker 1] She definitely makes a decent living. It allows me to stay at home and practice baking. What kind of clothes do you design?

[Speaker 2] That's really great. I focus on casual sportswear. Nothing too fancy. Just comfortable without being slouchy. Things I would like to wear.

[Speaker 1] That must be very exciting for you. Have you ever submitted your designs to a clothing venue in New York?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, I am thinking about asking some local stores to look at my designs and maybe I could put together a small show to do locally.

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh you have a plan that sounds great. You will be very successful I'm sure. Never give up on your dreams and maybe one day you will own your own fashion house!

[Speaker 2] That would be a dream for sure! Thanks for encouraging me!


I walk dogs for a living.

I'm an avid kayaker.

My parents taught me survival skills.

I enjoy reading journals and guides related to psychology.

My favorite singer is taylor swift.

I love eating out with friends.

I'm getting married in the spring.

I work at a school as a kindergarten teacher.

I'm 24 years old.

I don't have a high paying job.

I enjoy adventure sports.

I am very good at reading a compass.

I like to read scientific studies about the human mind.

The person that sings bad blood is my most beloved musician.

I like going to restaurants.

I plan on having my wedding in april.

I enjoy children.

I am well past the drinking age.

[Speaker 1] I stroll up and down the street.

[Speaker 2] That's cool I do a lot of walking as a kindergarten teacher

[Speaker 1] I enjoy the great outdoors and being in the water.

[Speaker 2] Do you do a lot of hiking?

[Speaker 1] Yes and boating. Love being outdoors and reading.

[Speaker 2] Oh what is your favorite book? Mine is the hunger games.

[Speaker 1] I read do self help guides and journals.

[Speaker 2] Those can be very good for improving oneself.

[Speaker 1] Yes and learning new abilities you have for yourself. You realize you have unknown abilities.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean, I'm improving singing.

[Speaker 1] That's wonderful finding your internal self through singing, I do that while floating on my kayak.

[Speaker 2] Recently I've been singing alot of taylor swift.

[Speaker 1] I love her songs, my mom taught me to always be all I could be.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I feel like she has grown quite a bit as musician.

I like to take walks on my street.

I read self help guides and journals.

I like to learn how to do new things. My mom would teach me songs.

I am a kindergarten teacher.
My favorite book is the Hunger Games.
I sing. I like Taylor Swift's music.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever sung in front of people?  Like at church or in a concert?

[Speaker 2] Haha no not adults! I sing to my kindergarten class all the time though, if that counts. But I save my Taylor Swift performances for the shower.

[Speaker 1] LOL. I like to sing in the shower too, mainly stuff I've heard in the radio really. You could try out for a talent show :)#

[Speaker 2] I think I would be too shy! But that's the dream. Have you ever done anything like that?

[Speaker 1] Not really. When I was younger I was part of a musical performance which was fun but I think standing in front of people on your own is a different story. I think I'd get stage fright!

[Speaker 2] Yeah same. It's different singing to a bunch of five year olds... they're so enthusiastic it's hard to get self-conscious. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] I'm currently studying to be a vet and work part time at a restaurant. I don't get much satisfaction from it but it pays the bills.

[Speaker 2] Nice! Yeah, you've got to do what you need to get by. That's so cool you're studying to be a vet! You must see a lot of wildlife in all your time outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Yeah all the time when I'm hiking in nature. There is so much to see and a lot of it is on your doorstep!

[Speaker 2] When you qualify as a vet you could even open some kind of nature sanctuary and help injured animals.

[Speaker 1] I think that would definitely be more rewarding than working on people's pets. I'd much prefer to be a vet that visits farms, helps livestock or yes, helps wild animals. I've always dreamed of visiting Africa. That would be so cool.

[Speaker 2] Wow awesome! What an adventure that would be. I'd love to visit Africa someday. My dream trip is visiting Nashville though, and seeing some of my favorite country singers sing in person.

I like to take walks on my street. I like to swim and enjoy nature. I like to hike, boat, and read books. I have a kayak. I hike in the country.

I read self help guides and journals.

I sing in the shower.

I am a kindergarten teacher.

My favorite book is the Hunger Games.

I sing. I like Taylor Swift's music. I would like to go on a talent show. I want to go to Nashville and see singers.

[Speaker 1] How has the singing kindergarten teacher been? Have you arranged your dream trip to Nashville yet?

[Speaker 2] I've been great.  No plans yet, but school is almost off.  I think I will sit down and plan out a visit in July.  Have you ever been to Nashville?

[Speaker 1] I have been to Nashville, but didn't make it to the exciting  music/bar section. I've heard it's great. Who will you take with you?

[Speaker 2] I am probably going to take my friend who is actually another teacher at my school.  She doesn't love Taylor Swift, but she is a big fan of country music.  I think she grew up near Nashville so she is sort of an expert I guess.

[Speaker 1] You should see who is playing in Nashville in July and plan to see groups you both will like. Who knows perhaps Taylor would be there herself taking in the music scene. There are lots of other interesting things to do in Nashville as well, maybe take a guided tour of celebrity homes or something similar!

[Speaker 2] Oohhh wouldn't that be exciting if she was there?!?  Thanks for the suggestion because they is a really good idea. What about you? Will your summer involve your African dream?

[Speaker 1] Well, I'm still looking into it; no plans as of yet..but you never know! I'm trying to put together a travel plan so I see most everything that I would like while there. It would likely be a several week trip. I still have some classes to finish up at Vet school this summer.

[Speaker 2] When these summer classes are done will you be a full blown vet?  Any thoughts in where you may work after you are finished with school?

I read self help guides and journals.

I sing in the shower.

I am a kindergarten teacher.

My favorite book is the Hunger Games.

I like Taylor Swift's music. I would like to go on a talent show. My dream trip is to Nashville. I like to sing.

[Speaker 1] I looked up a few people going to nashville when you are there and prepared a program!

[Speaker 2] What kind of program is it? I wasn't planning on doing one, but I would love to be involved.

[Speaker 1] it's kind of like a schedule of events going on around the city during the times you'll be there. I just made a list of dates and places so you can go do something if it interests you.

[Speaker 2] Oh ok, that is amazing. Thanks. How is Vet school going? Doing finals yet?

[Speaker 1] It's going well. Finals are next month. I think I'm prepared for it but a little nervous too.

[Speaker 2] What all classes did you take this semester? Like are they for the actual vet courses or are you concentrating on general studies first?

[Speaker 1] I'm in veterinary school now. I took all my general classes already. almost to the finish!

[Speaker 2] Oh, I didn't realize you had finished the first few years already! I am so excited for you. I remember when I was at the end of my college career. I was so ready to be done with learning. Of course, teaching is almost the same tbh.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. It's been a long time in school. I'm ready to graduate and get to start working with animals.

[Speaker 2] I am rooting for you to get to work with animals on a reserve in Africa. I would love to get photos and stories of that. Of course, if you work on farm animals, maybe I could come out and pet them one day.

[Speaker 1] I haven't quite made up my mind on which one I want to do yet. maybe I can do both?

[Speaker 2] I bet you could do like a year abroad and when you come back you should be able to start your own practice or else partner with another vet. Especially with the wild animal exp. It would make your resume great.

I read self help guides and journals.

I am in vet college.  I work in a restaurant part time. I want to work with farm animals or wild animals. I would like to go to Africa. I have summer classes. I am undecided whether I want to work on a reserve in Africa or farm animals in another place.

I have been to Nashville before. i know alot about nashville. I prepared a program for a friend's visit to Nashville. My program has a list of dates and places to see in Nashville, along with a schedule of events.

I have finals coming up next month. I feel prepared for the exams, but still a bit nervous. I have finished all my general classes.

I am a kindergarten teacher.

My favorite book is the Hunger Games.

I like Taylor Swift's music. I would like to go on a talent show. I like to sing.

I plan on going to Nashville. I have not yet planned a program for my visit.

I have graduated from college. I was excited to be done with it towards my later years.

[Speaker 1] I heard from a friend who tends animals at a farm that their having an event next Friday for people to come to the farm to pet and groom their animals. You should consider it, knowing how much you wanted to pet some farm animals. I'll make sure to text you the address if your interested.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that would be great. Thanks. Have you always wanted to be a veterinarian?

[Speaker 1] I have! I love animals, and I think it's a good use of my talents. Are you fond of animals?

[Speaker 2] Definitely; they're great, especially when they seem to have a personality. Always a good way to connect with my students, too.

[Speaker 1] Of course! kids love animals. do you ever get to bring any into your classroom?

[Speaker 2] Every now and then; it's a whole process with approval because of liability issues, allergies, etc. How do you think you'll decide what kind of animals to work with once you finish school?

[Speaker 1] That's true; I hadn't thought of that. I think I'd probably choose a specialty that's needed in my area. Where I live is a little rural, so maybe farm animals!

[Speaker 2] Right on, stay close to the community. Maybe move on to wild animals later in your career? Africa would provide some good kayaking, too, I'd imagine.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it would be amazing to help with a wild animal rescue. I love animals like foxes and raccoons and so many people treat them so badly! Going to africa would also be a great chance to see things I haven't seen or learn new types of animal wildlife. Do you like to travel?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I don't get to do it as much as I'd like, much less internationally. Speaking of which, any restaurant/touristy recommendations for my upcoming Nashville trip?

[Speaker 1] Yes! You've got to go to Bastion. It's pricey but the food is so top notch. Love the chef there.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. I will definitely look into it. Do you go there often?


I go to the gym regularly.

I have short hair.

Two dogs live with me.

I like doing the treadmill and rowing machine.

I just want to have fun with my friends.

I work took I've a part time job at burger king.

I am 19 and I cannot wait to move out 19 my parents home.

They are constantly on my back.

I do not drink or do drugs or anything.

I am in great shape!.
I get a buzz cut every two weeks.
I've a couple of pets.
I love going to the gym.

I like to relax.

I am employed in the fast food industry.

I am very excited to leave for college.

I wish they would all just stop nagging me.

I am squeaky clean when it comes to alcohol.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! How are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hey! I am fine, thanks. Just got back from work. How are you?

[Speaker 1] Pretty good. I just got back from the gym. I go there all the time.

[Speaker 2] I should go. I work at burger king, and the food is making me gain weight.

[Speaker 1] I like the treadmill and rowing machine the best. They might work for you.

[Speaker 2] Cool, thanks! My parents have a treadmill I can use, but I really want to move out.

[Speaker 1] Do you only live with your parents? I have two dogs myself.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! And yes, I do. They're always on my back, though.

[Speaker 1] Well, that'sn't cool. They need to give you some room.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I do not even drink, or do drugs, or anything.

[Speaker 1] What do you look like? I have short black hair and blue eyes.

[Speaker 2] I'm a pretty average looking 19 year old.

[Speaker 1] Ah, I'm a bit older than you. You sound like an interesting person though.

[Speaker 2] You, too! I should probably get going, but it was great to talk to you!

[Speaker 1] Great to talk to you too!

[Speaker 2] Oh, actually, I've a little time.

I own two dogs.

My hair is black and my eyes are blue.

I would love to move out of my parent's house. My parents nag me.

I don't drink or do drugs.

I am 19 years old.

[Speaker 1] I know you want to move, have you thought about getting a place with a roommate?

[Speaker 2] The rent around here is so high, and I'm not sure my wages from Burger King would stretch that far. I have to do something though!

[Speaker 1] Maybe there are management positions you would qualify for or even look for a new job?

[Speaker 2] I might just try that. I doubt I'd qualify for management, but maybe a different job. Or I can go back to school. How do you find the motivation to work out?

[Speaker 1] My biggest motivator to start were my dogs. They always want to run and play, and I want them to be happy. I found the more I got out with them, the better I felt

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that makes perfect sense. I've always wanted a dog, but my parents don't like fur or mess. I'm responsible enough, and maybe I should foster a rescue.

[Speaker 1] Fostering is a great idea! So many animals need love. Maybe seeing you take responsible for another creature will help your parents stop picking at you.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they nag at me a ton. And it makes me feel so awful, I end up eating Burger King after work. The weight gain is making me feel worse. A dog might help me make changes.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry that you're feeling so awful.  Sounds like you definitely need a change of pace. I really enjoyed starting to exercise on a treadmill, do you have one available?

[Speaker 2] Not at home, my mother says she doesn't like the sound of machinery. But there's a gym next door to my work. I could try that on my break isn't of snacking.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea, you might really like it. It makes me so happy to hear that you want to work on making yourself happier.

[Speaker 2] You are such a positive person. I can tell. Probably from hanging with your dogs and working out. Thank you for helping me.

I own two dogs.

My hair is black and my eyes are blue.

I work at Burger King.  I have been gaining weight. I may look for another job.

I don't drink.

I am 19 years old.

I want a dog.

I have a gym next to my work.

[Speaker 1] Tell me, have you managed to start working out?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I started. It's been hard, but I'm motivated.

[Speaker 1] That's great!  Getting started is always the hardest part.  What kind of exercises are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm doing some cardio, but I'm focused on strength training. Do you have any suggestion or advice for me?

[Speaker 1] Always try and mix both, you don't want to jump right into weight training without warming up with cardio first.  And I can't stress enough the importance of stretching before AND after working out.

[Speaker 2] I need to stretch more. Do you think so Yoga would do me some good?

[Speaker 1] I'm afraid I don't have much experience with yoga, but from what I've seen it can be a thorough full body stretch routine.  Do you listen to music at all when you work out?

[Speaker 2] I do listen. I find that it helps me get engaged with what I'm doing.

[Speaker 1] It makes sense, I read somewhere that they did a study that proved music helps keep you focused and you end up working out longer.  I'm a fan of heavy metal when I work out, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I like heavy metal, punk, grunge. They all get me going and help me maintain a good workout pace.

[Speaker 1] Exactly, I love classic AC/DC, it's the perfect rhythm for running on the treadmill.  Have you started looking for a new job, by the way?

[Speaker 2] I have. I have my resumes out at several places. Wish me luck.

I like to work out. The treadmill and rowing machine are my favorite exercise machines. I am an expert in exercise.

I own two dogs.

My hair is black and my eyes are blue.

I do not to yoga. I love listening to heavy metal music when I work out.

I love AC/DC.

I don't drink.

I am 19 years old.

I want a dog.

[Speaker 1] Now that we talked a little about yoga I think I am going to look more into it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah have you heard about the new yoga studio downtown? They do Hot yoga.

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of Hot yoga. Is that like in a sauna?

[Speaker 2] I think it’s close but not quite as hot as a sauna. They do turn the temperature up so you sweat and get squishy.

[Speaker 1] I prefer for my workouts to feel like I've accomplished something, so maybe that is the way for me to enjoy yoga

[Speaker 2] Yes and I would love to sweat all the Burger King grease out of my pores in a safe space without judgement or bias.

[Speaker 1] I really think we should go. It would be a good thing for both of us. And I would never judge you.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? Ok let’s do it together. I mean, who else am I gonna do it with?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, but I am not sure that you can listen to heavy metal while doing yoga. We have to check into that.

[Speaker 2] Oh! Don’t worry. I have an extensive musical playlist copied to my brain that can play metal for hours without needing the actual CD.

[Speaker 1] Ok cool. I hear they play like meditation music or just nature sounds for yoga, it was one reason I was advese to it.

[Speaker 2] It’s the kind of music that if you notice it while it’s playing it has failed its purpose in life.

I own two dogs.

My hair is black and my eyes are blue.

I do not go to yoga. I love listening to heavy metal music when I work out.

I love AC/DC.

I like workouts that make me feel accomplished.

I don't like listening to meditation music or nature sounds.

I don't drink.

I am 19 years old.

I want a dog.

I have a gym next to my work. I just started working out. I do cardio and strength training. I love listening to heavy metal, punk, and grunge when I work out. I would like to workout without feeling judged.

I am interested in doing Yoga with some else.

I don't need a CD to listen to metal. I have a playlist copied to my brain.

[Speaker 1] What kind of bands do you listen to if you like listening to Metal? How many songs are there in total in your playlist?

[Speaker 2] For metal, I like to listen to Metallica, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, and Disturbed. They are all great bands! AC/DC is awesome too!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I like AC/DC too. I spend a lot of time working out and I can get motivated by listing to heavy metal. How are you liking your workout routine?

[Speaker 2] I like the workout routine very much. I am beginning to train for a local powerlifting competition in 6 months.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. Where do you train?

[Speaker 2] I train at a local powerlifting gym that opened up two years ago, its starting to become the best gym in the area.

[Speaker 1] Sounds interesting. I might have to check it out it I get some free time. I've been super busy with a new exercise routine that includes runs with my dogs. I need to keep them in shape too.

[Speaker 2] Nothing is better than being able to exercise outside! Maybe I can tag along with you on a run soon?

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. I know the dogs would have fun with that. They help keep me motivated and determined as they have tons of energy. Perhaps we can make it a weekly thing.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that would be great. I usually work first shift, so maybe when I get out of work we can meet up for a few mile run?

[Speaker 1] How is work going? Are you still at Burger King? I had cousin that worked at Burger King a few years ago and he seemed to like it. I don't think he liked the shifts he was on though.

[Speaker 2] Work is going just okay as every lunch I eat the food, which is not the most healthiest option for me. I am in the process of applying for a few new jobs.


I am a middle aged man.
I treasure my free time.
I'm so unhappy in my marriage.
I spend my day talking to people.

My prison sentence ends in 30 days.

I had a run in with the law.

I ache all over.

In 24 hours my mother will be at my home to see me.

[Speaker 1] How are you? My life is a mess that I hate.

[Speaker 2] I'm okay, I miss people, but I'm not allowed on the computers.

[Speaker 1] Really I wonder why, but I may be bitter as I'm divorced.

[Speaker 2] I'm in juvie, they don't permit us on the computers.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok, I need it for my salesman job.

[Speaker 2] My mom is visiting in the morning, it is the first time I have seen her.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, how old are you? I am 40.

[Speaker 2] 17, I took my boyfriends auto theft charge, he has a record, I don't.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok, I guess you type so slow because you never use computers?

[Speaker 2] I don't type slow,.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok it must be my computer than.

[Speaker 2] Must be. Are you having bad weather tonight?

[Speaker 1] No not at all, clear skies tonight.

[Speaker 2] I don't know then. I was a hacker before I was sentenced to juvie.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I would rather do that than my job.

[Speaker 2] My dad taught me when I was young.


I have light features.

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

I get annoyed with my roommate sometimes.

I'm attending school currently for my nursing degree.

I am a vegetarian.

I like to use the swings and monkey bars.

Show tunes are memorable.

Pluto is great, but I like another individual better.

I enjoy theme parks for vacation annually.

I am in elementary school.

[Speaker 1] Blonde hair and blue hair describe me

[Speaker 2] Hey, I am 8 and a big third grader that loves the playground.

[Speaker 1] On the weekdays I work at a bar to pay for college. Nice

[Speaker 2] My friends and I sing the frozen songs but mickey is my hero. What college?

[Speaker 1] My best friend and I got a luxury apartment

[Speaker 2] Disney world is my favorite place to go with my family.

[Speaker 1] We are both becoming nurses

[Speaker 2] I have a long time before I get to live away from home.

[Speaker 1] Chicken is something we don't like

[Speaker 2] A nurse sounds like a great job. I love everything chicken.

[Speaker 1] Yeah most people do without blue letters to the left

[Speaker 2] I wish it was not raining out so me and my friends could go to the playground.

[Speaker 1] Very cool sounds fun and cool

[Speaker 2] Being 8, my only worry is will the teacher catch the passing of the note.

[Speaker 1] Nice very cool cool cool

[Speaker 2] I bet you have a lot to worry about.


I love going to the gym.

I get a buzz cut every two weeks.

[Speaker 2] Soda is also great for cleaning toilets!!

[Speaker 1] I will have to try that later sounds cool.

[Speaker 2] Working out is ok, kinda fun if you like that

[Speaker 1] Yes I love to ride the bikes.

[Speaker 2] I ride my bike to go get burgers and fries!

I ride my motorcycle everywhere.

[Speaker 1] Hi am going to college and art is my major,

[Speaker 2] That sounds lovely. I work as a waitress from time to time for extra money.

[Speaker 1] Two times a year I visit europe since I have descended from christopher columbus.

[Speaker 2] I love celebrating columbus day!

[Speaker 1] Wonderful. I just love fish and chips. It is my weakness. I love to cook paella

[Speaker 2] I'm not much into cooking. I do ride motorbike though.

[Speaker 1] Do you know what paella is? Neither do I.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is a mixture of ingredients kind of thrown in one pan.

[Speaker 1] Well I don't know why I love to cook it. It does not sound very tasty.

[Speaker 2] I do like meat and rice, but I don't go for things like snails or oysters.

[Speaker 1] Yuck... Snails. I would never eat a snail.

[Speaker 2] You are funny! Did you ever ride motorbike? I love it!

[Speaker 1] No, I never have. I'd die if I did. I just know it.

[Speaker 2] Well I do wear a helmet to keep from brain injury!

[Speaker 1] That's good unless your head falls off. What then?

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm hoping to keep my head!

I'm going to college. My major is art.

I visit Europe twice a year. I descended from Christopher Columbus.

I have never ridden a motorbike.

I work as a waitress.

I love celebrating Columbus Day.

I don't like cooking.

I like to ride motorbikes. I wear a helmet when I ride a motorbike.

[Speaker 1] How did you get started riding motorbikes?

[Speaker 2] My dad was an enthusiast! I guess I inherited it from him. He was such a rev head. It's funny how we pick up our parents hobbies.

[Speaker 1] That is true. My parents were artists in their own right which is why I'm studying it.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! They must be so proud of you. What kind of artists are they? Would I know any of their work?

[Speaker 1] My mom was a photographer and my dad a painter. Part of why I go to Europe is to visit their gallery. Have you traveled to Spain?

[Speaker 2] No I've never been outside the US sadly :( That sounds so wonderful. Hopefully one day. Is your family of Spanish descent?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have a very famous ancestor. You should make it a goal. I bet it would be fun to ride your motorcycle through out the Spanish Country side.

[Speaker 2] Oh of course, I forgot about your famous ancestor! Yes that sounds brilliant. What a dream. Do you do much traveling apart from Europe?

[Speaker 1] I try to travel as much as I can. Enjoy different types of art that you can only see when traveling.

[Speaker 2] Yes, not to mention all the exotic cuisine! I'm not very adventurous in that respect. Travelling more would definitely help!

[Speaker 1] No es cargo for you then hey? There are plenty or rice options or kebab shops across europe.

[Speaker 2] Haha yes! What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?

I'm going to college. My major is art.

I have never ridden a motorbike.

My mom was a photographer and my dad a painter. They have a gallery in Europe which I visit. I try to travel as much as I can.

I work as a waitress.

I love celebrating Columbus Day.

I don't like cooking. I like meat and rice. I don't like snails or oysters.

I've never been outside of the US.

I'm not very adventurous with cuisines.

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping I can present something in my parents gallery someday soon. That would be amazing to me!

[Speaker 2] I'd love to come and visit Europe for the first time and see your art! What kind of art would you present?

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing. I'd probably present a portrait, those are my specialty.

[Speaker 2] Wow! Did your dad teach you to paint?

[Speaker 1] Yes, my dad is a great teacher, he taught me some great techniques. So what type of restaurant do you work in ?

[Speaker 2] Definitely not as fancy as the restaurants in Europe where your parent's gallery is! Do you go visit their gallery often?

[Speaker 1] Ah, yes the restuarants there are pretty upscale, fairly expensive. I can unfortunately only visit twice a year due to my college schedule

[Speaker 2] Ah I definitely don't miss being in college! Is it hard being away from your parents for that long?

[Speaker 1] Yes, college can be a struggle at times. Yes it is hard not being able to see my parents for that long, but it definitely makes it worth it when I do see them. So is it exciting riding a motorbike?

[Speaker 2] It was very exciting the first few times!! Not so much anymore though. Was it exciting the first time you got to visit your parents gallery?

[Speaker 1] It sounds a bit scary but at least you protect yourself with your helmet. Yes it was pretty exciting getting to see my parents accomplish something so grand.

[Speaker 2] I bet!! How long until you will be able to present one of your portraits there?? I can't wait to come see!

I'm going to college away from home. My major is art.

I love fish and chips. I love to cook paella. I would never eat a snail. I cannot eat out at home more than twice a year. I miss my parents.

I have never ridden a motorbike.

I am a painter. I paint portraits. I learnt to paint from my father.

I work as a waitress in a restaurant.

I love celebrating Columbus Day.

I've never been outside of the US.

I'm not very adventurous with cuisines. I want to visit Europe.

I went to college.

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking of getting a motorbike.  I want your advice about a model that I could start with.

[Speaker 2] Ok let me figure out which way your metaphorical motorbike in your head is leaning.

[Speaker 1] I want it to be a real one. I am wanting to get something that can have a balanced and comfortable seat. I would like it to be able to keep up with traffic, but not change speeds so fast I flip randomly. I want to be able to have an easy time with balance, so it needs to have even weight distribution.

[Speaker 2] Woah woah woah you just jumped out of the starting line with this metaphorical motorbike faster than I could ever keep up with you! How about I just ask you what color?

[Speaker 1] I don't care about color. I want to learn to ride. I just thought that you would be a great place to start with finding the right brand or whatever since you know how to ride. I want to be safe and feel comfortable. Not look hot.

[Speaker 2] The moment you feel safe and comfortable on a motorbike is the moment you are headed to the ER with multiple hurts in multiple places on your body. Always know you are a moment away from possible death and dismemberment

[Speaker 1] I guess I don't like the idea of a motorbike. I thought it would be a fun learning experience, but if someone like you cannot even help me out with where to start and are going all the way to that, maybe it is not such a good idea.

[Speaker 2] It is not a good or bad idea. It is just a stone in the pond with lots of ripples to affect all other areas of your life. Not an easy choice like pancakes vs. waffles.

[Speaker 1] I think I will just stick to my pickup. It seems safer and less scary.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is much safer. Unless of course you have a Toyota pickup truck.

[Speaker 1] How do you know what kind of pick up truck I have??? And, how would that be more scary than death and dismemberment?

[Speaker 2] You never heard the conspiracy theory about Toyota, advanced nanobot drones and illegally cloned DNA from Gojira?

I have never ridden a motorbike.

I'm thinking of getting a motorbile. Comfort and safety are important features to me when choosing a motorbile. I want to learn to ride a motorbile. I have doubts about my ability to operate a motorbike.

I have a Toyota pickup truck.  I have decided that motorbikes might be too dangerous.

I work as a waitress in a restaurant.

I love celebrating Columbus Day.

I've never been outside of the US.

I went to college.

I am knowledgable about motorbiles.

[Speaker 1] Well, my Toyota broke down today so I really need to make a decision about that motorbike sooner rather than later.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sucks to have to decide so soon.  What are you leaning towards right now?

[Speaker 1] I think I will have to get one and learn.  It will be cheaper to buy one than to repair my truck!  Even if I have to pay for lessons.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's smart, you'll save a lot on gas too!  Are you going to wear a helmet?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes.  I am going to go with a full face helmet and full leathers - leather jacket and leather chaps over my jeans!  I think it looks good on top of helping me stay safe.

[Speaker 2] Wow, you're going to look super sharp with that getup! Any ideas on where you'll get lessons?

[Speaker 1] I was looking at a class at the local community college.  They offer it on Sundays every week. Where did you learn to ride?

[Speaker 2] That's interesting, I had no idea that colleges taught that sort of thing.  I learned from a buddy of mine who had been riding since he was a kid.  I'm sure he'd be willing to help you if you're interested!

[Speaker 1] Thanks.  I looked online to find where I could learn.  The college has an adult learning program.  Classes for real life skills - I took a cooking class and loved it!  They have everything from cooking to taxes to riding a motorcycle.  Your friend should consider teaching there.

[Speaker 2] That's so cool! Do they require any credentials or just experience? My buddy is always looking for side jobs, but I don't think he has any formal education.

[Speaker 1] They don't need any formal degree or certifications.  They are always looking for teachers.  The pay is not great, but you can take other courses for free!  I taught an art class so I could take the cooking class for free.

[Speaker 2] Nice, I'll be sure to tell him about it. Thank you for letting me know about this.  I might look into taking some classes myself.

[Speaker 1] I like his early stuff best. I have to admit that I love some down home country music too.

I love hootenanny country music too.

I wish my CO was a musical type.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever had to go to the emergency room for your scorpion stings?

[Speaker 2] Yes I have only been to the emergency once for these scorpion stings. Otherwise I use pain reliever.

[Speaker 1] When I want to get birds to scare away, I turn up the bass very high and blast rock and roll music. Would the same thing work to scare away scorpions?

[Speaker 2] My band helps scare away the scorpions sometimes. What have you played on your banjo lately?

[Speaker 1] I don't have it perfected yet, but I am translating the violin part from The Devil Went Down to Georgia to the banjo. I think I want to reimagine it as a banjo competition. A sort of banjo duel, if you will.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! Have you played the ukulele?

[Speaker 1] Sure. Pretty much any instrument I don't have to blow into I can play. I even own a small harp! Do you also play instruments besides the banjo?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I play the autochord. The scorpions are rising again to sting me!

[Speaker 1] That is terrible. Why do the scorpions hate you so much?

[Speaker 2] They live under my refrigerator and sting when I stop playing my banjo.

[Speaker 1] I see. They don't enjoy the autochord, I take it. Well, everyone's a critic.

[Speaker 2] They like when I leave to deliver mail. How is your husband's job?

Bob Dylan is my favorite folk artist.  Bob Dylan first inspired me. I like Bob Dylan's early music best. I love down home country music too. I like rock n roll. I play guitar. I play the harp. I can play the ukulele.

I am a postal worker. I deliver mail.

I really like Bob Dylan.

I love hootenanny country music too. I wish my CO was a musical type.

scorpions live under my fridge.

[Speaker 1] I finally finished that violin part to banjo

[Speaker 2] Awesome! How does it sound?!

[Speaker 1] Surprisingly awesome. I was really surprised at how nice the sound came out of it.

[Speaker 2] I can't wait to hear it! Are you able to send me a copy of the track?

[Speaker 1] Give me a couple days and I'll get one made for you. Still trying to get the last little bit down on it.

[Speaker 2] Great! I look forward to listening to it. Did your husband help with it?

[Speaker 1] He tried, but he just got in my way. He does love when I play and he can't wait to hear what I can do with it.

[Speaker 2] Haha. I am glad he is still supportive! I haven't been able to play much lately because of all the scorpion stings

[Speaker 1] Oh, yeah makes my legs hurt just thinking about. How are you doing? How did you major to get stung by so many scorpions in the first place

[Speaker 2] I have an infestation underneath my fridge! It SUCKS!!!! I called an exterminator but they are not available until next week.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow how did they get under your fridge? Are you still staying at the house or staying somewhere else till they are gone?

[Speaker 2] I am not sure. Apparently, it has something to do with the moisture levels in my house. I think I am going to have to stay somewhere else. My mom said I could stay with her. Scorpions are no joke!

Bob Dylan is my favorite folk artist.  Bob Dylan first inspired me. I like Bob Dylan's early music best. I love down home country music too. I like rock n roll.  I play the harp. I can play the ukulele.

I have finished the violin part of a song I am trying to make. I plan on finishing my music piece in a couple of days.

I have a husband who likes to listen to me play. I don't really let him help me out with my music.

I am a postal worker. I deliver mail.

My legs are being stung by the scorpions. I have an unending pain from these scorpions.  I cannot play music because of it.

I really like Bob Dylan.

I have called an exterminator to get rid of a scorpion infestation under my fridge. They won't be available until next week. I plan on staying with my mom until the exterminators get rid of the scorpions in the world.

[Speaker 1] I ended up finishing my song yesterday, and I am really pleased with how it sounds. My husband gave it a listen and he really liked how it turned out. I want to give you a copy, hopefully it can cheer you up a bit and make you forget a bit about your injuries.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, how exciting! I would absolutely love to hear it, I'm sure it would help a lot. What is the vibe of this track?

[Speaker 1] It is a slow and spooky tune and first, then it transitions to really upbeat and happy. I think you will like it.

[Speaker 2] Oh I love songs with those sorts of transitions, sounds like I will love it. Once you're finished a song, do you take a little break to reset or are you on to the next piece of music?

[Speaker 1] I just press on! When the inspiration strikes I must seize it! Sometimes I get writers block though.

[Speaker 2] True you definitely need to make the most of it. I'm having really bad writer's block at the moment, actually. Hopefully once I get back into my place and things calm down I will start feeling inspired again.

[Speaker 1] I imagine the scorpions constantly biting you create quite a bit of distraction from writing music. Are you affected by the poison?

[Speaker 2] They are certainly no help to the creative process! And yes, I've been getting terrible rashes. Have you been bitten by scorpions before?

[Speaker 1] No, I never have. It really sounds awful. I am glad things will be getting back to normal for you soon.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad for you, the pain is very unique. But thank you, I'm very much looking forward to being rid of the horrible little creatures.

[Speaker 1] Then you can really focus on your music again! Have your bandmates helped out with the scorpions at all?

[Speaker 2] So true! And yes they have tried, but unfortunately they all just gotten bitten as well. It really was a situation that called for professional help.

[Speaker 1] I set a new personal best for my Olympic sport. I've just had details about where I'm going to be staying for the next few months. Training is going really well.

[Speaker 2] How nice! Whaere will you be staying?

[Speaker 1] I'm heading over to Hong Kong in this awesome new training facility! Bonus is it's really close to Japan where the next Olympics will be. Can't wait.

[Speaker 2] that sounds amazing! I love training, but you are at the next level. Have you seen my bee website?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I checked it out after you mentioned it last time we spoke. It looks amazing. Did you get a professional graphic designer to make it?

[Speaker 2] My wife actually did the design. She is like you, is skittish about bees

[Speaker 1] Haha oh my gosh, she must be terrified living on a bee farm! But it's awesome she can help out like that. Does she still do any modelling?

[Speaker 2] yes, she is still in demand, really am proud of her. we train together, each to our own goal. Do you prefer to train with a group or alone?

[Speaker 1] I usually train solo as my sport is marathon running so I'm always going at my own pace. It can get lonely sometimes. I'm jealous, it would be great to have a training partner.

[Speaker 2] It keeps you honest, at least LOL. We usually celebrate with a papaya smoothie afterwards. How do you prepare your papaya?

[Speaker 1] I usually have it fresh, straight off the tree! I'm going to miss it when I'm living in Hong Kong, it might be harder to get them over there. Have you ever been overseas? Have you visited your wife's homeland?

[Speaker 2] I was in a different part of Italy, Germany as well. I have never been to the Asian countries. What is your home country?

My name is Leigh.

I am afraid of bees. I like honey.

I play an Olympic sport. I just set a new personal best. I am training and just found out where I will be staying for the next few months.

I am a marathon runner. I train alone as I'm always going at my own pace. I get lonely sometimes. I'd like to have a training partner.

I usually have my papaya straight off the tree. I will miss papaya when I am in Hong Kong.

I work out. I don't like gymnastics.

My wife is a model, she is in demand. My wife and I train together.

I have visited Italy and Germany. I have never been to Asia.

[Speaker 1] My trainer set me up with a training partner while I am in Hong Kong, I am so excited to meet them!

[Speaker 2] That's great. Are you excited to get the training started?

[Speaker 1] I'm very excited. I'm happy that I'll have someone else to train with so I won't be lonely. How are your bees doing?

[Speaker 2] They are producing honey like crazy. I need to send you a sample.

[Speaker 1] I would love that! I checked out the website for your business. Your wife did an incredible job. I'm surprised she has time to design a website when she is so busy modeling!

[Speaker 2] She is definitely talented. Much more so that me. I wish I could design a website as well as i can get bees to produce honey!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure she wishes she was as comfortable around bees as you were. I guess getting her to do a modeling shoot with bees is out of the question? I know I would be terrified!

[Speaker 2] Yes. Lol. I will stick to the bees and she can still to web design and modeling.

[Speaker 1] Even if you two have opposite feelings about bees, it's great that you can come together to work out. Hopefully my training partner is as supportive.

[Speaker 2] I hope so too. You have more riding on your training than I do. I'm really excited for you and hope for the best.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! I can't wait to get Japan and hopefully take home a medal. You'll have to visit Asia someday. China has been beautiful.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. I have faith that you will win a medal.

My name is Leigh.

I am afraid of bees. I like honey.

I am going to Hong Kong to train. I will be right next to Japan where the next Olympics are going to be. I like Asia.

I am a marathon runner. I train alone as I'm always going at my own pace. I get lonely sometimes. I have a trainer. I am meeting my training partner soon.

I work out. I don't like gymnastics.

I have a job. I am a Bee Farmer. I'm not scared of bee's. My business has a website. My wife made the design for the website. My wife is skittish about bees. My bees are making a lot of honey.

My wife designs websites and she is a model. She is in demand. My wife and I train together.

[Speaker 1] I broke my leg training - I don't think I'll make it to the Olympics. I am devastated.

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness that is terrible news! What happened? Did you have an accident?

[Speaker 1] I don't really know, to be honest. One minute I was flying, the next minute I was rolling. I'm still recovering from the shock.

[Speaker 2] Those things happen so quickly. Did it happen last week? I'm so sorry you're having to go through this... are you in a lot of pain?

[Speaker 1] The day before yesterday. The pain isn't bad with all the meds they have me on. But I'm both depressed and really, really bored. I've never sat still for so long in my life!

[Speaker 2] Yes I can imagine! How long did they say you'd have to wear the cast? I hope they've given you suitable crutches to help you get around (once a tall friend of mine was given some that weren't high enough for him!)

[Speaker 1] They haven't said just yet. I may require surgery, but they are still discussing whether to put a pin in my leg. I've been here in traction for 2 days so they haven't even mentioned crutches yet. I hope no surgery, but I don't want permanent damage either.

[Speaker 2] Ah man, I hope they decide quickly on the pin so at least you know what to expect. Permanent damage is definitely the worst outcome, but I'm sure the doctors will be able to sort you out even if the recovery is a bit slow. Being in traction for 2 days sounds rubbish! Have you watched any good movies to keep your mind occupied?

[Speaker 1] Not at all. Actually that's why I was messaging you. Do you have anything lighthearted to recommend? I need something to get out my funk.

[Speaker 2] Good question! I've watched a couple of movies recently but they were not necessarily lighthearted (The Great Escape and O Brother Where Art Thou). Have you seen either of them? The Netflix series "Queer Eye" is always a feel-good choice and the episodes are about an hour.

[Speaker 1] Queer Eye sounds good. I have a lot of friends who like it but I never let myself get addicted to shows because of my schedule. Should I start from the beginning?

[Speaker 2] You can actually begin watching whatever episode you like as each of them is focused on a totally new person, so you don't need to have seen the ones before. Basically these five guys go and help someone for a week in terms of their style, their living space, their self confidence etc, and it's always really heartwarming!

My name is Leigh.

I am afraid of bees. I like honey.

I broke my leg a couple of days ago. I'm depressed and very bored. I may need surgery on my leg. My leg has been in traction.

I'm going to start watching Queer Eye.

I work out. I don't like gymnastics.

I watch Netflix. I like Queer Eye.

[Speaker 1] The doctors just told me that I do need surgery on my leg!

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Once the surgery is over you will rest and be back to your normal self. Back to self discipline and getting ready for the Olympics. That has to be something you look forward to right?

[Speaker 1] I suppose.  We'll have to see.  They are going to put a pin in my leg and the long-term prognosis is unclear.  Getting back to training is too far in the future to think about.  Right now I'm just worried that the surgery will go okay.  It's happening in two days.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure that the surgeons will be highly skilled and you will recover quickly. But in the mean time watching Queer Eye will give a few laughs and maybe keep your mind off from the surgery.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I definitely need something to keep my mind off heavier things.  I hadn't watched my first episode yet before getting hurt, but now I have lots of time.  I was going to ask you whether your and your wife have any kids?

[Speaker 2] No we don't have any children. Thank goodness because our time is consumed with my bee farm and her modeling. She travels extensively.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that's sort of why I asked.  I figured your schedules would make it difficult.  Although, I bet you could use some extra hands helping with the bees.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes I definitely could use an extra hand but really can't afford to pay someone at the present time. But I'm thinking about teaching kids how to handle and raise bees.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun.  I bet a lot of people would like to learn to do that.  Especially as bees become less common in our yards and gardens, I think beekeeping's mystique is growing.

[Speaker 2] Yes I believe it is going to be exciting and I think that once kids learn the trade they will continue it for many years. Do you like bees?

[Speaker 1] I think bees are an invaluable species and I like seeing big, fuzzy bumblebees buzzing around, but swarms of them make me a little anxious, and I have no desire to be stung by a bee.

[Speaker 2] Yes being stung is no fun. I think it is important to keep raising bees so that they can be plentiful for our gardens and make honey. My wife and I also love the honey they are producing.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any hobbies in retirement?

[Speaker 2] I often volunteer at a local soup kitchen.

[Speaker 1] That's kind of you. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I do not have any pets.

[Speaker 1] I love both my dogs very much.

[Speaker 2] I like cheeseburgers almost as much as you love your dogs!

[Speaker 1] That is a bold statement to make!

[Speaker 2] I must be bold because I grew up in a poor household.

[Speaker 1] Fortune favors the bold. Do you like music?

[Speaker 2] I like the music in the war documentaries that I enjoy watching.

[Speaker 1] My favorite music to listen to is country.

[Speaker 2] Do you attend concerts often?
