<bos><start_of_turn>user hello, do you use netflix?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello, yes I do! Sometimes I use the hour long fireplace video at home. Do you like Netflix too?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love netflix, so many shows and movies in there. Do you remember blockbuster?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do! I wonder if Netflix and Blockbuster ever could have done a partnership or something like that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well Blockbuster had the chance to buy it and passed on it. bad decision<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Definitely a terrible decision, now Netflix has all these great selections. Last I checked they have almost 150 movies with perfect ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yesh for sure, and they offerd it to blockbuster for only $50 million<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That would have been a steal for sure. I wonder how much Netflix pays their taggers, who have to watch and label the content.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hmm good question. Do you know how netflix came about?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I believe they started off with DVD sales and rentals, and eventually transitioned into streaming media. I wonder how they improve technology from here.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah and then the owner of netflix was fine $40 for a late fee and got sick of it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's interesting how people get inspiration for things. IMDb is actually older than the first web browsers on the internet.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is truly very cool. Did you know netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never knew that! I wonder if it's similar for other TV/movie platforms. Are you interested in cinematography in general?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I am. Do you know who pioneered the wide-angle cameras?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not sure actually, I know Nicolas Rehn was a pioneer in high-contrast cinematography to see what's happening on screen.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The guy who pioneered it was the chinese-american James WOng<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Ahh ok, it certainly must have been a significant achievement. Are you interested in film ratings? I use review sites a lot.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I like to refer to IMDb. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do too, although sometimes they can be inaccurate. Shawshank redemption wasn't very commercially successful yet it's one of their highest rated films ever.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, you never know , right? Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hey there what do you think of planet earth?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's a nice place. I've lived there my whole life. I'm pretty attached. What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha ya me too, sad to think that 80% of the natural forests have been destroyed though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Only 20% more to go! We are a destructive species. Can seem to protect things that we need to survive. And we've been here just a short time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user thats true, if history were a 24 hour day, humans have only taken up about 1 minute of time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The day has been getting longer. It was only 5.5 hours. Soon it'll be so long that we'll have a 20-hour workday. I bet people will want more vacation.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is wacky, will the day continue to get longer? like a 40 hour day at somepoint?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe in billions of years. Humanity will be long gone, having cut down all the forests and filled the oceans with plastic.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya that is sad to think about, also sad we'll have run out of helium by the year 2100<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent We'll get our helium from fusion reactors. Every kid can have party balloons.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha well I hope so. It's pretty silly there is an ambassador to extraterrestrials at the UN, I want his job<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think you have to know somebody. It sounds like it involves few duties. Mostly waiting.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha ya, lots of waiting and doing nothihng, have you ever ridden a horse<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nope, never ridden a horse. Haven't eaten one either.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha nope I have ridden one, I guess they evolved over like 50 million years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They went from multi-toed to single-toed. I guess they were more useful to humans that way.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya I think so, they became really widespread about 3000BC, so kind of a long time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interspecies utility is interesting. Dalmatians are associated with firefighting because they would calm the horses.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that's nice of them. did you knw clint eastwood was allergic to horses?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, he acquired an allergy later in life. Very odd.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user would you ride a horse to school?<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Earth is amazing don't you think? So much history in its 4.5 billion years of creation.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it is amazing! Not only the composition and history of earth, but also its position relative to other planets in the solar system.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree, so many wonders to think we only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds on a 24 hour calendar of Earth's history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent What do you mean?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I mean that if 4.5 billion years of histoy equals 24 hours then humans have only exist for 1 minute and 17 seconds of that 24 hour period,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh wow! That is really neat, time really does fly! I really appreciate these tech billionaire's efforts into space exploration, like Elon Musk and his bold initiative to start colonization in Mars.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I heard he wants to build a supersonic vertical take off jet.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Whatever that is, it just sounds super cool! I wonder how he finds time the to do all these things, he's the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, chairman of SolarCity. It makes me seem very unproductive<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know it seems like he wouldnt have much time, he is also an actor and producer, seems like he has more than 24 hours in his day.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He is an actor and producer? I didn't know that, do you know which movies/TV shows he is involved with?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He's in a production called "Thank you for smoking"; I haven't seen it either though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That seems a little ironic for his recent ordeal with smoking marijuana during an interview with the host and was fined, I think. His wife or ex-wife also appeared in Christopher Nolan's film, Inception.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thats Elon Musk's wife? I didnt know that! she is a good actress.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm not sure which character she played, but according to the article, she appeared in it. I wonder if that movie inspired him to create any of his companies.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Could be, so anyway, do you like horses?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, but I would never ride a horse to school like what two high school students did on the "no vehicles to school day", very creative though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree, really creative for sure, I bet they got in a lot of trouble too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, they were suspended, which seems a little harsh to me.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It does seem harsh but then again the horses could lose control and create a lof of chaos.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, especially if they had brought Icelandic horses, which have a fifth speed, called the tolt, which is a speedwalking unit for a horse<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Can you imagine all the chaos? Another cool fact is that Clint Easthood is allergic to horses.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you? Do like horses?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hey there I love horses. Even though I'm allergic to them they are still very fun to ride, what do you think<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user You're allergic? Are you Clint Eastwood? LOL. I've never ridden a horse, but they seem like majestic animals.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wish I were Clint Eastwood! But I never knew that Iceland actually has a specific horses with a fifth speed, other horses do not have this ability for some reason<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't understand the speeds. Trot, gallop, ??? What else is there?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes its something called Tolt, I don't know exactly how fast that is though lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess they have used horses there for many purposes. What do you think of the two high school students who rode their horses to school on 'no vehicles to school day', and got suspended?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think that was genius but pretty dumb that they got suspended haha. What do you think about Dalmatians? Do you know how they are related to horses<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know that they are used by firefighters. I heard that they were deaf or something.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes a lot of them are actually deaf. What do you think about Elon Musk by the way? I know that's a change of topic haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a change of topic. He is not a dalmatian, or a horse, or deaf. I think that he is ambitious and trying to create new technology. You?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes he seems very smart and also very ambitious. I think he has a dog but it's not a Dalmatian though haha. His wife also appeared in the movie Inception by the way<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I thought he got divorced? Is he still married? She must be pretty.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think he is still married. I'm not sure what she looks like though, did you ever watch the movie thank you for smoking by the way?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, I did. A long time ago. An interesting film. I like Aaron whatshisname.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I did like that movie, Elon Musk apparently produced it and I forgot that he acted in it too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'll have to check for that. He is a talented, intelligent guy.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep absolutely. I love that he wants to create a vertical take-off jet, that also is electric, I think that would be cool I would love to have that haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user His ideas are astronomical. Anyway, great chat! Have a good night! Go watch Thanks for Smoking again.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I'm going to check it out very soon, I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for Elon Musk haha. also I'll keep my eyes peeled for his rocket that will colonize Mars haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, I will wait for Elon to travel on it first though before I go. Talk to you soon!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent sounds good, I'll be waiting for Spacex!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Earth never stops to amaze me, it was formed over 4.5 billion years ago and there is still much to learn about our planet<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know what you mean. It is the only object known to have life and we need to know why that is.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree, we must find life in other planets if we want to survive as a species, its sad how 80% of the forests have been destroyed by now<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is definitely sad and very troubling. It makes me wonder what will happen to the polar regions with all of the ice.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Global Warming happened to them and if we dont start caring about our planet we might need to find another one soon.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Already things are changing. Did you know that there will be no helium on the planet by the end of this century? Not only are we losing plants and animals but now we are losing elements.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did not know that, I wonder how that will affect us, im sure it will have hidden consequences on life on earth and to think we account to only a small portion of earths history<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I imagine it will have consequences too. I've heard that when the earth was first formed a day was only just over 5 hours long. That would be weird. I guess that means the planet used to be closer to the sun?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it seems that way, or maybe rotated at a bigger speed, you know we have an embassador in case aliens arrive to the planet or try to make contact with us.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know that! That's actually pretty cool! I hope he or she is friends with Elon Musk. At the rate he is going, he'll find life before the government does. He's already planning a colony on Mars.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Elon Musk is a genious, hopefully he is successful with his colonisation plan, he is also an actor you know<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know that. I knew he co founded paypal but I had no idea he acted as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah apparently he acted in a thank you for smoking sketch, and his wife is an actress as well she was in the movie Inception<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Impressive. I like that he is into solar energy. He inspired a solar company and now it's part of Tesla.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He is looking into the future that is for sure, he also wanted to build a vertical take off jet for passangers.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That would be different. I wonder if it would have benefits that the normal way doesn't. You know he thinks outside the box. When he wants to do something he just does it, like shooting a cheese wheel into space.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is an absurd way to waste money lol, shooting a cheese wheel into space! amazing but at the same time wasteful.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent If you got it why not? He is worth over 20 billion dollars after all.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I guess so, just seems like a waste with all the poor families and kids without homes in the world, to think Musk was born in 1971, he sure has taken advantage of his time on earth<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He really has. I think he can be inspiring. I can see how it could be wasteful to spend money like that but on the other hand he shows people to just do what they want with what they have. It's a lot like Galileo back in the day building a telescope. To me it's a way to say give your imagination free reign and try stuff. Tesla is an electronic car company that he founded in the day and age where the big automakers dominate but he is giving it a try.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I guess his contributions to socitety are bigger, one day he will be remembered as Galileo and other historic figures.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Have you ever seen the movie Snowden<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not yet. I know that's about the whistle blower who escaped to Russia, right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah founder of Wikileaks. You know they published the government's plans to destroy them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's right. I forgot that he found Wikileaks also. I didn't know that, but I recently learned that the government owns 86% of NV land.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's a lot of land to be own by the government, what's their game plan, lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe Snowden knows! Apparently governments are to abide by governing principles that are to balance individual freedom and tyranny.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah sounds suspect. In 2006, the us passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva conventions<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Also sounds suspect. Did you know that Albert Einstein was asked to be Israel's president? But he declined.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's deep. Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to invite Albert Einstein to the White House.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, and the letter was intercepted and then the invitation was declined by Flexner.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Sounds like another administration i can think of.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Einstein was very involved in American politics. To this day, his estate earns $18 million annually.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was born in Germany right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, but he was very worldly. He was also a member of the NAACP and he charged $1 for his autograph. All of that collected money was donated to charities.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well that doesn't sound too bad. This is strange though Albert einstein wrote a quote in 1938 and placed it in a time capsule to be opened in 6939.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent 6939. I wonder why so far into the future. He was a scientist and developed the theory of relativity so maybe he saw something happening in this distant future.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe, thats too far in the future for me. It was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use after it was coined by the theologian, philosopher, and historian of science William Whewell in 1833.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Just a little too far ha-ha. And natural philosophy was a precursor of natural science.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They say that Harrison schmitt was the only scientist to walk on the moon.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Einstein would have been in all his glory if he had the chance. And it would have been well deserved since he wrote to Roosevelt about uranium being turned into bombs.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah he did a lot more than what he's best known for mass energy equivalence formula E = mc2<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Eureka! He sure did. But anyway, I enjoyed our chat! It was very informative. I hope you have a great evening.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user you too!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you a science fan? did you know that the estate of Einstein earns more that 18,000,000 a year? Pretty amazing inventor!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do love science. There is so many cool things to explore such as computers or chemistry.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you know that Albert Einstein was born in Germany and is best known for for his equation E= mc2?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I did know that. I find it intersting he wrote to Roosevelt about nuclear energy so long ago. We tend to think of it as a modern thing beyond the A bomb<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It seems ironic that scientist put men on the moon but Harrison Schmitt was the only one to actually walk on the moon.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think astronauts need a different temperment than someone who works in a lab or engineering. There has to be a sense of thrill seeking that seems to be lacking in a lot of scientists.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So true. The world wide web was invented in 1989 by and english scientist working in Switzerland for a state funded research organization. . .How much it changed the world!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It really has! I think it has impacted our economy and countries in ways that are unimaginable. I wonder if they knew what they were inventing when they did it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am sure they had no idea! There were two geniuses that invented things without thought of how they were to be used Hertz and Maxwell. Had this thought that curiosity shoud drive invention<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think curiousity is a great thing. The internet sure has helped with that. Imagine the information we have access to now that generations past had so much trouble accessing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So often only governments and universities can fund the research for projects in science without an immediate need. It is kind of like an essay in Harpers magazine in 1939 titled "The usefulness of Useless Knowledge.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent If only that money was put to better use.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is a bit like the scientist Hertz that worked out electromagnetism. Macaroni, did very little of the science but he was credited with inventing radio!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think the pointless project funding goes back to entitlement spending. People start to think they can spend just because they want to.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think that was on the tails of the industrial revolution. I think that know with spending out of control only endowed universities have the luxury of funding research without a product goal.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The problems lie in the facts that it is doing nothing but driving us deeper into debt as federal funding goes to these pointless projects that are driven in the name of research for research's sake and has no practical value.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is so true now. In the days of the 30s, 40s, and fifties, the inventions such as dishwashers, air conditioners, and fax machines would drive the economy up.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think if we were to address the cost of inflation and the realities of what our government has done to the economy vs what other countries are doing we would be in a better place as a nation in america.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't think that we would have the luxuries in our homes and lives that we have now without scientist. as a sidenote, did you know that Einstein answered his own mail?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I could see that. He seemed like a very down to earth man for how brilliant he was.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That he could do that and earn the Nobel Prize for Physics shows that he was somewhat down to earth.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He was a brilliant and kind man who impacted the science community in so many ways.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, do you follow the government?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent A little bit, they own almost all of Nevada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yep, they own 86% of the state which is crazy.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They did test a lot of nuclear bombs there, so I don't think anyone would want those areas.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Very good point. Did you know Wikileaks published the government's plan to shutdown Wikileaks?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, but it is seems logical given the nature of government and Wikileak's nature to publish them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user True. A man in France once impersonated a government official and was able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I feel a little bad for the people that fell for it, especially the first one, he was so ashamed that he did not called to police.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. The Norwegian government once gave $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you think they will succeed ? I hope so.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hope so too. Do you know much about Einstein?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know he was a scientist. Is he German ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yep, he was German. He was once asked to be the president of Israel.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Why would they ask him to be president of Israel ? He must have made a ton of money with all those posters with his face.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not really sure. I also saw he was a member of the NAACP.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent So he was actively for civics right, he seems a good man but a quirky one I have heard that he wrote something and put it is a time capsule that will be opened in 6939.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was a good man and very smart. That's cool about the time capsule. Did you know he would charge $1 for his autograph?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a lot for the time, what did he do with the money ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not really sure lol. Seems a little bizarre. It was good chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Good, but there are other interesting scientists to talk about like the emperor of Japan who is also a scientist.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's good. Take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How do you think our government is doing?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, I think they are doing pretty good right now. What do you think?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think so too, lots of drama with it, but as long as they are doing their job I am fine with it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent For sure. I saw Wikileaks once published the government's plan to shutdown Wikileaks.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is awesome, that is really sticking it to the man. I wonder if they released why 86% of Nevada is owned by the government<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's a lot of Nevada they own. I bet there are tons of secret bases and things like that out there.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am sure there has to be. It is all desert, but I am sure they are doing some crazy things there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I bet they are. In 2008, the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, that is something! I wish we did that but I think we donate billions already to other countries with aid.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes we do donate a lot. A man in France once impersonated a government official and was able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is awesome! not once, but twice! Someone had to have gotten fired over it lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree. Do you know much about Einstein?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know he was some super smart guy and scientist. I think his estate gets a ton of money still<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He was very smart. Looks like his estate gets $18,000,000 annually.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow that is a ton of money, literally! I wonder what for. I am sure he has a ton of patents<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I bet. Einstein was a member of the NAACP.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is awesome, he didn't discriminate. He lived during those times. I think he was asked to be the president of Israel also once<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's pretty cool. Did you know he charged $1 for his autograph?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is awesome! I hope he donated the money to charity or something. It was nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was good chatting with you too. Did you know the emperor of Japan is a scientist as well?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow that is pretty crazy stuff! What a smart dude! Enjoy your day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi there! Do you think voting is important?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No today i don't, sorry i think it's all rigged.What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, sadly, I feel the same. Maybe the system still needs to be developed. Up until 1918 not all men in UK had the vote.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right i heard that. Did you know astronauts get to vote from space?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Neat! And in India they even set up a voting booth for one voter in area saturated with lions.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Guess they did want him to vote. That sounds unusually cruel.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if in India they vote what to name their garbage dumps. In Austin, Texas they voted to name theirs after Fred Durst.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that is to funny, i wonder why? Another unfortunate fact is that 34% of black males will never have the chance to vote<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's sad. And a lot of eligible voters do not show up. The turnout for presidential elections has not reached 63 percent in the last 100 years.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right! heres an interesting fact since 1900 the taller candidate has always won.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow! So officials in Ancient Athens were appointed by lottery. They thought elections would cause oligarchy. And knowing the fact you just told me doesn't make me have faith in the system either!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It' supposed to be a formal group decision making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. We know it;s not.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you think they should add a none of these candidates voting option for all elections?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm on the fence about that. I know Nevada has it but i wonder what the benefits are beside knowing who voted and who didn't.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, there needs to be electoral reform, so that fair electorial systems are put in place.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right i'm with you. Did you know that one of the moons of Jupiter would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow. Speaking of planets, I was sad when Pluto was deemed not a planet! I grew up being taught that it was!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know and then all of a sudden right! I hear they discovered building block for life some 455 light years away. I wonder how?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, I'm not sure. And I always thought planets spun in a similar manner. Venus doesn't tilt so it has no seasons, and it also rotates clock wise unlike other planets.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow! Hey there a five planets in our solar system that can be seen with the naked eye.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Cool, I want to go out right now and see how many I can spot. Have a good night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Planets are pretty crazy if you think about it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, they are. I am crazy enough to appreciate them though. What interesting facts about planets do you know?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Jupiter's moon ganymede would be a planet if it orbited the sun, do you know any?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have heard that some planets dont have a tilted axis, and others spin on their SIDE. crazy, huh?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow, very crazy, what would earth be like spinning on its side lol. I heard Uranus rolls around the sun<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent URANUS? <chuckle> What a name! Yes, i wonder what is wrong with that planet besides its awkward name.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right lol! imagine a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at you, that is a real thing<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that sounds like a terrible vacation. i would rather go that planet 455 light years away.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user right, I heard about that planet, it can possible sustain life right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It might. we should get Elon to get some people headed toward the thing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right, that could be his next venture. You think we will see a man on mars in our lifetime?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, we will, but how long can they be there? and what can they do that a probe cant?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a valid point, I am glad someone is spending money on it. Do you think the Space Force will patrol it lol?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Um, i dont know about the Space Force. Maybe? THe govt has 22 trillion in debt. it is not a popular idea at the moment.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think our elected president will push it like the wall, are you a fan of him?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not really a trump fan. the wall is going to be in the next budget. about 8 billion. i think that the 2020 election is going to be interesting.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think so too, I wonder who he will run against. I think if he wins it will show it was rigged again, but that is my opinion<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The democratic field is a jumble now. it is unclear how the dems will come up with someone to run against an incumbent.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree, there seems like there is already 20 running and I have only heard of like 4 of them. I need to research more. It was so nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It has been great! Im glad that the system is up again! Have a good evening!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am too, I hope it lasts! Have a good evening also!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hi, did you vote in the last election?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, how are you? Which election? 2018?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The 2016 one?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I did vote. Did you vote?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes of course. Did you know the indian government put a poll in a forested area full of lions for a single voter?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess the gov't needs to make sure everyone has a chance to vote. The US is different. The voter turnout for presidential elections hasn't exceeded 62.8% in the last 100 years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I cannot believe more people do not get out and vote, teally<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They probably feel that their options are poor. Except in Nevada.Nevada is the only state to have the "none of these candidates" voting option for presidential elections<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like to have that option really. Did you know astronauts vote from space?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I figure they have the right. I wonder what percentage of astronauts actually vote.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe all of them I hope. even in uk not al men had the right to vote until 1918<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe you needed to own land, or have a title or something. I wonder if the same rules applied to women.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am not sure, but glad we all get to vote now. Did you know in atlanta 34% of the black male population cannot vote?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That sounds like the South. I wonder what would happen if a basketball player ran for president.Since 1900, the taller candidate has won the us presidential election 75% of the time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is an interesting one. In ancient athens officials were appointed by lottery<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess they didn't want rich people to have power. Randomness changes things up.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess, but it seems it worked well for them. Do you know much about the planet?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The one that I'm on right now? Sure, I know a few things.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well all of them I guess Like that planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mpg on 2000 fahrenehit weather<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think you'd better bring an umbrella. Anyhoo, thanks for the chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user same here, have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user What did you think of the article about the shootings in Parkland<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I thought it was very thoughtful and sad about all the mass shootings around in FL and Las Vegas<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I thought it was sad too. It's a shame that people have to resort to shooting students as well as teachers. It's not even safe to go to school anymore<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wish there could be non-polarizing discussions on it between society and politicians<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user There needs to be a conversation about it. Maybe it will reach out to people and the shootings will stop. Parents shouldn't have to worry about what's going to happen to their children when they send them to school.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess it's important to vote for politicians who care about the people they represent and not lobbyists or the party line<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Exactly. All certain politicians care about is money.They don't care about what is best for people. If they did, things would be better and maybe the violence would end.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep, in ancient athens officials were appointed by lottery to avoid an oligarchy<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe that should be done here in the U.S. Most likely Trump wouldn't be in office if the elections was done by lottery.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, unfortunitly voter turnout hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years so that may be why the country is in such bad shape<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user You're probably right. Some people feel like their vote doesn't count so they don't bother. Then again, maybe the taller candidate won as the article claims. That does explain how certain people are elected<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think Nevada has it right with the option "none of the candidates" as a voting option<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think they have it right too. It gives you the option not to vote for people you don't think are good enough to be in office<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent People vote for interesting things, Austin TX voted to rename their garbage dump to Fred Durst<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They really do. I wonder why they wanted to name it after him. I also wonder why all men couldn't vote until 1918<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know, I also don't know why there are polling booths in forests filled of lions in India<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know why there are polling booths like that either. It also never occurred to me that astronauts can vote from space<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's nuts. Jupiter's moon ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is. I find it strange how venus doesn't have seasons<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yea, Uranus is strange too since it rotates sideways<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Exactly. That is very strange. Just like the planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Shards of glass and 2000 degree weather, sounds fun<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm great! How are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well, thanks! How is your smelling ability<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's pretty good, on par will most. I still can synthesize my own vitamin C.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user How is your hearing?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hearing is pretty good. Like most humans, I have excellent distant running abilities. Well, maybe I used to.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user There is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans! That seems weird...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it's 13 hertz, very low, below our threshold of hearing. Causes fear because I think it's like an earthquake sound.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Reallly??? That's impressive knowledge! Do you know anything about ribs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've read that they grow back stronger after they get broken, but I haven't tested that out myself.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. I know if you smoke them with BBQ sauce for 2 hours on 180 they are delicious...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That a good tip, but they probably won't heal well after that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, I am not good for the healing portion of ribs. I am on the other side of the healing line. I wonder how many ribs a black swallower fish can eat...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Times times their weight? They would get kicked out of the smorgasbord.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah! They would do some damage... I wonder how they would consume water?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know whether they are freshwater or saltwater fish.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would make the difference. I kknow they do not have necks...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The humble seahorse is the only fish to have a neck. But it's not immortal!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Is there anything that is immortal, besides Hulk Hogan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent There is a breed of jellyfish that's immortal. Probably goes by the nickname "Hulk Hogan."<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user HA! Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user It is amazing how a certain scent can ellict specific memories from throughout your life isn't it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know, I can catch a faint smell of something and be reminded of something from 20 years ago.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, like a summer rain always reminds me of walking through the woods as a boy. It's too bad we can't replicate those scents and be reminded of our childhood all of the time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've never thought about it, but I suppose we don't have names for smells, just where it comes from.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's true I refer to a damp basement smell as moldy but why not refer to the smell of onions as 'yuk'?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's difficult to imagine having names for each smell, as we have for colors. I'd think there were too many.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, but imagine if the defining term could relate to the listener not only what the smell was precisely but perhaps even it's location. Maybe other languages allow for more descriptive labels.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I suppose if you have to survive, partially because of your nose, it makes sense to be very specific.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would think so. I suppose it has validity to convey something with just one word that lets everyone know everything about it. I think it might be difficult if you were to use a smell word with someone who had never smelled that scent before.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Semaq Beri speakers take it seriously, especially with the brother and sister thing. They'd struggle in the city.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Ha! They would indeed. It is funny how different cultures have taboos that make no sense to anyone but them. Whenever I smell a certain perfume I find myself back in time to my school days and the girl I used to love.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess we have the ability to use our noses in the same way, we just don't have the need. There's not the peril for us.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user True. Not many wild predators around to threaten us. It might be interesting to know their names for smells and try to correlate them into our culture, would they mean the same or not.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It seems it very specific to what you do, like the difference between horticulturists and hunter-gatherers.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, and culture. If I say to you that an object smells like (.......), you would in all likelihood have a very good idea of what I'm referring to based on shared experience.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Avoiding mixing odors seems very extreme, I can't imagine cooking at home if I have to use different burner for each meat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would indeed be a hardship. When I cook I'm always using the simplest most direct way to get fed. A lot of the time that involves a can and one pot.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder what they'd make of some of the exotic cuisines like Indian, Thai or Vietnamese cooking.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They would be adding to their dictionary I think. Some smells give me the willies, like fish. I hate the smell so whenever I walk into someone's home that has been cooking it I get sick to my stomach, so maybe they are on to something when they don't mix odors.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Speaking of fish, did you know there was an immortal jellyfish?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I heard that but wonder how they determined it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I guess there is no way to prove it. A lot easier to prove a seahorse has a neck<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes. Maybe the jellyfish in question regenerates itself constantly so they just infer that it's immortal.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Another surprising fact is the burning of books by the FDA, I thought the US was against censorship<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did too. What was the subject matter and when did it happen?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have no idea, I'd guess the thirties or fifties. Some kinds of novels with problematic themes<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Probably of a sexual nature. Many people seem to think that leads to corruption.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well, it was good speaking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello! Do you like to read?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, yes I like to read both Fiction and not fiction, what about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm into non-fiction more than anything. I wonder what types of books the FDA burned back then.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, they really did a big act of censorship, it was six tons of books<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is one big stack of books! I wish I could have watched the olympic events of literature back in the day!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is right along with music and painting!! And it was until last centuries!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is so crazy! I didn't even know romantic kissing was a fairly recent development in literature! Where have I been!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, And it was not mentioned frequently in greek literature<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Those stories were still amazing though even without that haha. I wonder if they ever wrote about humans losing their body hair 240,000 years ago?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent LOL who knows!! but I found crazy that there is a contest to come up with the worst opening sentence of a novel<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm sure there have been many dandies! I bet Winston Churchill wasn't in that since he won a nobel prize in literature.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes he did not earn a peace nobel prize!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user You would have thought that is what it was for! I sometimes wonder what sound frequency causes fear in us?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, I guess they use those frequencies in suspense and terror movies! but did you know we could re-grow a rib<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is crazy that we can! I wish we could regrow hair lol, and vitamin C but we can't, but everything else can!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That would be awesome! The rib we could grow in 2 to 3 months, there must be something to regrow hair, we just have to discover it!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree! We need to get on the immortal life like a breed of jellyfish is!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is amazing! and about sea creatures, did you know only the seahorse has a neck?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is hard to imagine with all of the breeds out there, but very cool! Fish are just crazy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know that there is a difference how fresh water and salt water fishes drink water?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Isn't it something with osmosis? I'm going to look more into that. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How familiar are you with the hunting and gathering culture people used to have?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not too familiar, Although I've read a bit from researcher Nicole Kruspe discussing odor.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Although our sense of smell may not be as developed as some species, odor played an essential role in our survival. However, odor is unique in that people don't name the specific odor itself, but rather what it reminds us of.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting. Western scholars dismissed scents as unknowable, or at least unnameable for millenia.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user True, but recent studies by Majid found that the Jahai, who are hunter gatherers still, are able to identify these odors by abstract names. It seems that these hunter gathers & horticulturalists can identify odors, unlike the rest of their world due to their unique cirucmstances.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent True, Kruspe and Majid propose that, when people settle into, say, horticulture or postindustrial society, other senses become relatively more important than smell.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user McGann states that this ability to distinguish the differences in odor receptors would play a greater role in a more natural, wild environment than the secure urban areas that most horicultural people live. While distinquishing complex smells may save a hunter/gather's life in the wild, it would be as much a life or death situation in most instances in an urban setting. In fact, simple odors like smelling sulfur are enough for most people to avoid dangerous situations.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know that Humans (taxonomically, Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I recently read that the defining characteristics of Hominina are bipedal locomotion, high dexterity, complex brains, and complex language.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Early hominins‚ particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes‚ are less often referred to as "human."<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user True, but because evolutionary development is progressive, it is diffiult to define cleanly where it is apes stop being apes and became humans instead. Considering some of these early hominins were capable of using fire, displaying high intelligence, I believe they should still be consider humans or at least an early precusor.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent True, they gave rise to anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 315,000 years ago<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Rather than simply anatomy, I believe the social behaviors and communication is what distinguishes modern human. While most early hominins were capable of using tools, homo sapiens were able to use societys for protection and use their advance communication to capture even the most abstract of concepts for the exponential accumulation and spread of knowledge.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know that If earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I only happened upon that information on a Did you know? video. What advantages do you believe allowed us to dominate within this small window in history?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Advantages that explain this evolutionary success include a relatively larger brain with a particularly well-developed neocortex, prefrontal cortex which enable high levels of abstract reasoning and language<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Although early hominins have similar adaptations, what do you believe made us stand out and survive while the others didn't?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent A silly one is that Humans are the only mammals that can't breathe and swallow at the same time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user What purpose do you think this serves? Is it to seperate the lungs and stomach to prevent drowning or getting food in the lungs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Perhaps so, although such adaptaptations would be more likely to occur as gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits came to land.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Speaking of fish, I recently learned that it is negatively labeled as a parphyletic group and not a formal taxonoic group since the classification isn't as clear as perhaps mammals.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Fish are pretty amazing. There was a koi fish named hanako that lived for 226 years Thanks for the chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like fish?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I love fish (at least eating it). I find it funny that freshwater fish only "drink" water through their skin via osmosis, while saltwater fish also drink water through their mouths.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like to eat them too, and that is funny, have you heard of the black swallower fish before?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well, I've heard that they can eat prey twice their length and ten times their weight, so they must be quite strong.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree and also a scary species, they seem like quite the predator<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, for sure! I also found it interesting that a seahorse is the only fish to have a neck. I didn't even know it was a kind of fish.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The only one? reallly? that is suprising I though most fish had a neck<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Actually, I think what we take for a fish's neck (I've made this mistake also) is not really a neck, but more the area where their gills come out. I find it interesting also that 84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human diseases have counterparts in the zebrafish.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Sounds like a fish we have to study a lot more closely, they can be the solution to many of our health problems and the immortal jellyfish<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, for sure! It's kind of funny actually, because they said that in humans, that if a human has a rib surgically shortened, that he/she can regrow a rib equally as strong as the original within only 2-3 months.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Humans are just amazing, we adapt for persistnace and we are the best distance runners in all the animal kingdom<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, for sure! Humans do have their downfalls though, because they cannot synthesize their own vitamin c like animals and plants can.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess its a great thing we know how to appy science,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, for sure! One thing that humans have going for them however is their creativity. Did you know that there is an annual literature contest that challenges writers to come up with the worst possible opening sentence to a novel? That's really funny.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt know that, do you like to read? it does sound like a funny contest<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I love reading. It's kind of funny, because architecture, literature, music, painting and sculptures were olympic events from 1912 until 1952. I don't know why those would be considered sports, but that is quite interesting.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is interesting, never considered as sports either, do you know who Winston Churchill was?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, he was the British Prime Minister during WWII and in 1953 he won a nobel prize, ironically though, it was in literature and not peace.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt know him as much of a writter but I haver to read some of his novels and works<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, he sounds like an interesting guy. It's kind of curious though, because it has been said that romantic kissing is a fairly recent development and is rarely mentioned even in ancient greek literature. How can they explain Romeo and Juliet then? That one had a lot of kissing on the lips.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah one that ended with two deaths and poison, hope you have a nice night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi there,, do you have a favorite instrument?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi there, I do I love the guitar and the piano. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I love the piano too. Once the BBC played music as they felt they did not have important news<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that is impressive. Freddie Mercury and McCarthy also played piano too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah and they played the same piano once, freedie for bohemian rhapsody and mccarthy for hey jude<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nice that is pretty cool. Have you heard of circus galop?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that is the stress testing song for pianos that humans cannot play<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent There is a piano that sits on top of the highest mountain in the UK<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh that must be the one that the climbers found when they were hiking up there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that is the one. Do you ever shop online, like on Amazon?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do actually. Did you know Jeff built a clock on a mountain?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years. AMazon owns IMDB, pretty cool<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They are everywhere now. And they have a deal with US Postal Service to deliver on Sundays<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is so convenient. And their workers seem to be really busy all day long<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes they can walk anywhere between 7-15 miles, that is a lot of steps<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That sure is. Have you ever bought from AmazonBasics?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have, I know they are supposed to be on the lower end but I find their stuff to be pretty good too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree, it is pretty good. The first guy to buy on amazon got a building named after him<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes and all he had to do was spend less than $30. What a contribution<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah pretty awesome for him. Do you like animals?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do, my favorite are dogs but I also like others like cats, snakes, elephants and such<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello Friend, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yea, I'm a hugh Yankees fan, I never knew a 17 year old female pitcher once struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig then got banned, sounds like they signed her<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, did you know that baseball managers were uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know that was the reason why managers wore uniforms but I've heard of mangers playing in the game on rare occasions<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, did you also know that a man found $3 Million worth of 1900's baseball cards in his grandfather's attic hidden there since the 1940s?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No that's crazy, I wonder if they had cards of players on the 1908 World Series winning Cubs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That could be. Did you also know that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, that's an odd name. Did you know in baseball if a player catches a ball in their hat the opposing team gets three bases instead of being out?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's cool. Did you know that after the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series, over 5 million people celebrated in the streets, making it one of the largest gatherings in human history?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No but I'm not surprised, it had been 108 years since the Cubs last won a world series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, and the Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series, and didn't win again until 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never knew the Cubs used to be named the Orphans, I wonder why they were called that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not sure but I know that the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves are the two oldest teams in the major league baseball, both having been founded the same year as the Battle of the Little Bighorn.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting, I never knew the Cubs had pitchers with 4 and 6 fingers on their pitching hand, I wonder if those features gave them an advantage<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not sure but in 1945, the Chicago Cubs baseball team was "cursed" when the stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis stay in a World Series stadium with his smelly pet goat. The cubs did not play in a World Series again until 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Lol, spooky. Did you know that the Dodgers lost the most world series than any other team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, did you know that as of 2018 the World Series has been contested 114 times?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and the AL has the edge with 66 victories compared to the NL's 48<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Fascinating. Did you know that in the 1992 World Series that the US Marine Corps color guard carried the Canada flag into the stadium upside down?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Lol no, maybe the US marines were trying to get into the Toronto Blue Jays head<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That could be. Nice chatting and have a good night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, do you like baseball/<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hai. How are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you know why baseball managers do wear their uniforms during a game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes... same dress code to baseball managers<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, if there is a need they will have to play, I have never seen that happen!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh...why are you saw that happen<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did play kickball when i was a child did you play as well?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh really nice.. I am play football...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Intersting. In canada kickball is called, soccer baseball, I think it makes sense!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes.. I think sports are giving knowledge.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you know baseball is really popular in japan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes.. I know.. But i don't know about baseball. Are you explain about baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well, baseball is a really fun sport between two teams, the offensive , who are the batters and the defensive who are in the field.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh...very nice explanation.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Then the batter team, once they get to hit the ball, they run the bases and If they complete the bases, they score a run<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent wow...very interesting game. I will try to play baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, i agree is a lot of fun to play baseball and also to watch the world series!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent ok... That game was really fun... I am also watch the baseball world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user it is exciting because it consists of a seven game playoff, so it is not just one night, you get to extend the enjoyment many nights<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh... I definitely play and watch the baseball game. It's really very interesting...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well you are right. I hope you have a nice day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Have you heard of Doug Harey?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wasn't he an umpire for the MLB?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes he just died at 87 years of age.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess he was a big deal, and he lived quite a while. He'll be missed though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He must've been an interesting character to earn the nick name 'God'.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He was one of those umpires that knew what he was doing<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yup, he earned his spot in the hall of fame after calling 4,673 games.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent And five World Series, which is a big leagues in the MLB. He wasn't intimidated by anyone, it seems<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was around to see some of the first world series that first started in 1903.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's incredible! Do you pay attention to baseball much?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No I did when I was younger but lost interest. How bout you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Every once in a while. It's one of those sports I would rather play than watch. The Japanese are such big fans of baseball that they would probably take the name "national pastime" from the Americans if they could<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea they are usually surprised to find so many americans like it too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Enough that people used to collect baseball cards. One man found a collection in his grandfather's attic that was worth three million dollars<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user thats a lot of money. are any managers cards worth anything? they do wear the uniform after all.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Probably only if they step in and play the game. I've never seen any of them do it, but that would be an interesting thing to see<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think that would be fun to see, like the cubs winning the championship after 108 years.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It would be fun to see them all play kickball sometime. In Canada, they call the game soccer-baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dont think a couple would schedule all 2430 games throughout 24 years for soccer baseball. like one couple did for baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They might if the game got enough sponsors. They could even play it in extreme conditions like in the snow or on ice. Wearing hockey skates<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user People would watch it just for the sake of getting together.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hey how are you doing, ever have problem with the dust fallout while having your wood floors finished?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Never, lol. have you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I haven't but if you were wondering, it's best to clean everything before you do so there is no dust to begin with.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a good point, start off on the right foot. I wonder if you can buy products on amazon<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm sure you can, might be more than $27.95, that was the amount spent by the first customer on Amazon.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard that person got a building named after them, that would be awesome, and definitely worth the 28 dollars. I can't believe Amazon started in 1994<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user For sure, started as a book store. The USPS has a contract to deliver Amazon packages on Sunday. You think Amazon is getting too big?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think Amazon has gotten so big, but I think in a good way. I just hope they turn into a monopoly.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user For sure, they kind of already are. Or at least selling all that cheap stuff kind of hurts the market overall. The warehouse workers work a ton, between 7 and 15 miles a day they walk.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I couldn't imagine walking that much per day. I would be in the best shape of my life. Did you know that amazon has another site that sells their returned goods at a discount<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I was not aware of that, what it is called? Amazon owns IMDB too, that's surprising.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know what it is called, I want to check it out lol. I don't mind getting an even bigger discount on amazon goods. I wonder why the own imdb<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yah, it's just out of box stuff usually. Did you know there are no snakes in New Zealand?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent New Zealand sounds like the place to be, snakes scare me lol. I don't get why some snakes give birth and some lay eggs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yah, they're pretty messed up, it is interesting to know that the fear of snakes is engrained in our brains.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent snakes are crazy lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Truly, very crazy. I'm surprised Crocodiles are more closely related to bird than snakes and lizards.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would never have guessed that. I wonder what the relationship is<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not really sure, maybe closer to dinosaurs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yea I think that is it, they say dinosaurs had feathers like birds lol, that would be interesting to see for sure!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user For sure, it was great chatting with you. I hope you have a good rest of the night, take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am, I love the game! What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't mind it. Do you know why managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep, because they are technically able to play for their team if the need arises. I don't recall ever seeing one play though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's correct. I've never seen it happen either.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've heard that up from 1981 until 2005 a married couple actually scheduled all 2,430 major league games played each year.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow! That's some serious devotion to the game.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it is. I find it fascinating that baseball is so popular in Japan. I remember watching games when I was stationed there and the crowds were amazing, even for small local games.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I had heard that it was so huge over there that they are surprised that it is our past time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you ever collect baseball cards?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did not. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I collected them with my dad when I was a kid. I wish I could have found a collection like this one man did. He found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfather's attic. They had been hidden since the 1940s.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow! That's amazing. I wish I came across something like that myself.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you know that kickball is called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did not. That seems like an overly complicated name.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Poor Canada though, in the 1992 World Series, Marine Corps color guard carried the Canadian Flag into the stadium upside down.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh no! That was a major error. Did you know that until their recent win the last time the Cubs won the world series the Ottoman Empire still existed?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep that was such a huge win for them. I heard over 5 million people celebrated in the streets!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I can see why. They were also the first team to win back-to-back world series but then didn't win again until the recent one which was a huge gap in between wins.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The team was supposedly cursed in 1945 when stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis bring his goat into the stadium.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a very strange superstition for them to have. It was nice chatting with you. Have a lovely night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How's it going, do you follow baseball? The Nationals recently traded Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams to the Cubs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't follow baseball much, but I do think I heard something recently in the news about how the Cubs won over the Phillies? It's so confusing when they trade players for me to follow!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, I guess the manager Martinez isn't doing too good in Washington and traded them away<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think the Cubs have been having a lot of trouble with their player's health. I hope they can turn it around and have a good season!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe, but the Cubs haven't been too lucky since they started in 1903<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think I've heard about that...are they the team that one back to back and then haven't won another World Series since then?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The Cubs didn't win until 2016, they beat the Royals I believe<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oops meant won not one. I remember a long time ago they lost in a famous World Series game to the White Sox. I'm glad they won recently, as it's been a long time!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, When the Cubs won 5 million people celebrated in the street, they have been waiting a long time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I bet that was one of the best baseball celebrations ever! I heard that Ronald Regan was a broadcaster for the Cubs in the thirties. He had a very interesting life!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, wonder if he called the infamous Billy Goat game<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent How do you play that? I heard that when the Cubs first started playing baseball they were the Chicago Orphans. I wonder what the story behind that is, though?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know, the Cubs were founded the same year as the Battle of Little Bighorn so maybe it has something to do with the times<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's a fun fact! I also hear they're called the North Siders because of where Wrigley Field is and The White Sox has their field on the South Side of Chicago. Have you ever been there?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No but I'd love to visit Wrigley field, it is one of the most historic baseball parks<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I hear that it's a really nice place and the culture is cool there too. In example, when the visitors hit a homer into the bleachers the cubs fans throw it back into the field! lol I'd like to see that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user THat's pretty crazy. I heard Japan has a crazy baseball culture too and are shocked to find out baseball is America's pasttime<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've heard of that and wonder what the food is like at a Japanese baseball game. Do you think they'd serve both sushi and hot dogs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Probably, I wonder if Japan has baseball cards like in the US, a guy once found 3 million dollars worth in his grandfathers attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That sounds like a really cool find, especially if you know the right baseball card collectors. I think I'm gonna go collect some dinner. TTYL!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi there! How's it going? Are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi. I'm doing very well thanks. I'm do watch baseball on occasion and I'm a casual fan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you root for a specific team? Long-time Yankee fan over here.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You probably won't like this but I'm Red Sox fan. I heard that Eric Hosmer signed with the San Diego Padres for $144 million in an eight year contract.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha you're right I don't like the Red Sox. Yes I believe the Hosmer contract was last year. I think that's going to end up being a bad contract.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Me too. I think its too much money for a player that has proven himself. He is a 28 years old and he plays in the first base position and he did very well as a Royal.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user By the end of that deal he will be in his mid to late 30's and nowhere ear as good. Definitely an overpay. Not as crazy as those Machado and Harper deals for over 300 million though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No nothing like that. He has won 4 Gold Gloves in his career and I will like to see him in a Red Sox uniform.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's true the Red Sox only weakness now is 1st base. Who's their starting, Mitch Moreland?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You are correct. I also heard that Hosmer will be making $20 million over each of the first 5 seasons with the Padres.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's smart to front load it. It's crazy how much these guys get to play baseball. It's not even as physically demanding as football, basketball or hockey.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree with you completely. Those sports are way more physical than baseball. Did you know that the Dodgers have lost more world series championships than any other baseball team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They've been around so long, it makes sense. I think they lost a lot of them to the Yankees. It's funny prior to the cubs just winning recently the last time they won before that the Ottoman Empire still existed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Ha Ha!! The Dodgers are bad. They were crushed by the Red Sox<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hate how good Mookie Betts is. I think the Yankee's will give the Red Sox a run for their money this year though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I believe that to be the case. The Yankees are very talented club and always gave a hard time to the Red Sox whether we played them here or at Yankees.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Have you been to Fenway Park? I actually saw a game there on a trip to Boston. It's a really cool stadium.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have been to Fenway Park a few times and its really nice and especially when we play against the Yankees. I think the Padres will be fine because their ownership is investing .<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well I don't know if you heard, but the Padres did just sign Manny Machado this year. I think his contract was like 300 million for 10 years.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You're correct. They are building the team and I think they will do well in the long term but as far as them making it to the World Series, I'm not too sure about that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't think they have the pitching yet. That's so important for winning the World Series. Anyway it was nice chatting with you, enjoy the rest of your day!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You're correct. It all comes down to exceptional pitching to make it to the World Series. I was very nice chatting with you today as well. Have a nice day!!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Take care.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hello, do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do, it is my favorite sport. Do you watch?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I watch it from time to time. Do you know why the managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think they are technically allowed to play.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, good for them, do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, do you play kickball? I did for fun a few years ago.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do not play it but apparently in Canada it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Awesome, I've only been to Canada once. Have you been?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, I have friend there so I go all the time. Nice country and nice people<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Awesome. Did you know Baseball is super popular in Japan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah and they cannot believe that in the US is just a pastime?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yeah, that's awesome. The Cubs were the first team to win back to back world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nice, good for them. Do you know who used to do the schedule for major baseball laegue<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, do you? Apparently the Ottoman Empire was still in existence when the Cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh wow that means it goes way back then. Yeah it was a couple who did it for 24 years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, that is crazy. Apparently the cubs had a player with 6 fingers, doesn't seem possible.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, that is so interesting indeed. Did you know the women's cup had higher ratings than the world series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I can believe it. Some of the games can be boring if you aren't a fan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is very true. When the CUbs won in 2016, 5 million people celebrated i the streets<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, that must have made a huge mess. They were the first team to win it back to back, but then didn't win again until 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user And the largest in history. Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi. Can you play the piano?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I can play some, I have an electric piano that I keep plugged in in my room.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thats really cool, I can play a bit, but spend more time with other instruments. Did you know Freddie Mercury used the same piano for Bohemian Rhapsody that McCartney used for Hey Jude in the recording studio?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's really cool. I wish the news would play piano instead of news these days like they did back in 1930.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know. It would be far better than the slanted views they all put out today. Id actually enjoy that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you like Amazon? I have Amazon prime video and it with Netflix is all I really use for tv these days.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love amazon! Love how quickly they can get things out, even on sundays<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe I should get a job in one of the Amazon warehouses, sounds like a good idea to lose some extra weight since they walk 7 to 15 miles per day!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That might be a good gig for me too, trying to up my step game.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would love to visit the clock in the mountain that Jeff Bezos had built.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would be cool. It is going to run for 10,000 years so youve got time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent So how do you feel about snakes? I have a pet king snake myself, and I love them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dont think I could own one, but Im not scared or anything. Did you know there are No Snakes in New Zealand.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that's pretty crazy. The only bad thing about owning a snake is the upkeep, it can get expensive.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I bet, is your snake one of the ones that flies?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha no, king snakes can not do that, if they could I am not sure I would want to own one, they sound very dangerous.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Where I live a giant cobra escaped and was loose in the city.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well I hope someone caught it before someone killed it, You cant punish them for doing what is hard wired into them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They never found it. Dead or alive. Yeah, I have a friend who is seriously afraid of snakes, runs away from the smallest ones.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't have a fear of snakes, but spiders on the other hand I almost can not stand them to even be near me, hate the little buggers.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Small ones dont bother me but once they get past a certain size thats a big nope from me. Roaches freak me out.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha yeah roaches are just down right nasty, any way good chatting with you.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Same here have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you doing this evening?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi I'm doing well. Do you like baseball? I personally think it's really boring haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball is a slow game. I usually pay attention around the time of the playoffs. Then there's a lot of energy.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it gets burst of energy, and then a lot of really boring Parts LOL. I never knew that baseball managers could actually play for their team. That's why they wear uniforms, duh<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it's easier to just watch the highlight reel. The managers probably played way back in the day. Now? It would be sad. I'd want my money back.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha yep they would probably get injured really quickly LOL have you ever played kickball when you were a kid<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I played kickball. Safer than dodgeball, that's for sure.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep I agree with you there. In Canada they call kickball soccer-baseball instead, it doesn't quite have the same ring LOL<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It sure doesn't. That's clunky name. Baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans are surprised to discover it's america's national pastime. I wonder why? The sport started here.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree with you. It's very screwy that they would not realize that LOL oh, did you hear about the man who found millions of dollars of baseball cards and his grandfather's attic? Now that is living the dream haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would be great! I would sell some of them, but keep some for a long-term investment. You never know how much they could be worth one day.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No you're right. That's why I don't throw anything away. And it's also why my house is a mess LOL. One thing I don't understand is why the MLB used a married couple for 24 years to schedule all their games, why wouldn't they use a computer<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The couple probably used some kind of technology, but I bet they had a friend at the MLB head office. Maybe they were inexpensive? I dunno.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent haha ya, and they did that until 2005, very crazy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's a long time. Do you watch the World Series? I try to.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I can't say that I do haha. I like I said I don't really watch sports that much. I know that it is the best-of-seven games correct? Who do you want to win this year<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like it when an underdog wins. I'm tired of big city teams with big payrolls winning. The Series should bring out the best in the fans and the players.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep I like that too. What's crazy is that Babe Ruth tried to steal a base in game seven. That's what made him lose the 1926 World Series. Wasn't Babe Ruth really fat?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was pretty big later on, but he was also a pitcher at one time, so maybe he was speedy. Still, stealing a base? He was a hitter, not a runner.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep I agree with you. Pretty cool that the Cubs were the first team to win back-to-back World Series. I know that would be impressive<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was impressive, but then they hit the world's longest losing streak. How? Is it a curse?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha well at least the curse has been broken. What's also crazy is that the Women's World Cup had higher television ratings than the World Series in the United States. Personally I think soccer is even worse than baseball so I don't know how that's possible<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I'm not really into sports, but I learned a lot about baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello, me too, but have you heard about Philadelphia Phillies?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know a little about them. They have a funny mascot. It looks like Stephen Strasburg is doing well since healing from his injury.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent you know that ended in a 5-1 win for Strasburg and the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park and gave the team its first five-game winning streak since the end of May. I was so surprised, can you imagine 5:1...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's amazing. I can't believe the Nationals have a 19 year old rookie player who is doing so well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes that is amazing. He fell behind a couple times and got right back to throwing strikes. He did really, really well. Do you know Aaron Nola?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have never heard of him. Is he a good player too?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes hi is. he Phillies' Aaron Nola has been one of the National League's best and is right behind Max Scherzer and the New York Mets' Jacob deGrom in the Cy Young conversation, that's the information I have learned<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's something. I thought it was interesting that all othe game scheduling was done through a married couple until 2005. I wonder who handles it now.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes me either. Then it was a nerve impingement in his neck. Now Strasburg is inching back into form, one start at a time, even if most of his fastballs are still registering in the low 90s.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The low 90s is pretty fast for someone with that kind of injury. I also didn't know the game was so popular in Japan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Me too, can you believe, in Japan... I also learned that Ryan Zimmerman added a run-scoring single three hitters later and a solo home run in the fourth that sneaked just above Odubel Herrera's glove and into the bushes beyond the center field wall.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That must've been so awful for Odubel Herrera, to just miss catching the ball. It was probably quite a sight to see in person.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes I guess so... Can you believe that he Phillies right-hander never hit a stride in five innings of work, while Strasburg was only scratched by J.P. Crawford's solo homer to start the fifth?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess people sometimes have off games. Hopefully he'll be able to get out of that slump.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes that's for sure. Nationals pent the past month hovering on either side of mediocrity, trading key players to contending teams, watching their playoff hopes come and go with the summer. But the Nationals have shown a lot of life in the past five days, if only a week or two too late, I am very impressed, what about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They are turning out to be an impressive team. Hopefully they'll make better decisions and continue to play well enough to go on to the world series. I am learning quite a bit about the team in this conversation.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes exactly. do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like watching it in person. Not so much on TV. It's more exciting to be there. I've only been to one pro game with a friend who's really into the game -- I think it was the Nationals many years ago. I don't recall who they played or what the score was, but it was a fun afternoon.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I like to watch it from home with my friends lol and did you know that Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow. I did not know that. I wonder if any of the managers are any good...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent it was nice to chat<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You bet. Do you know why the managers wear a uniform?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I believe its because they are able to play in the game if needed. Thats kinda cool, I hope they never have to though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it is pretty cool. I wonder if they do that more in Japan where they take the game more seriously<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hear that they are surprised to know that baseball is an american thing lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it seems so. Do you know who used to do the scheduling for the major league games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not sure, who? A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in an attic!! lucky guy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is amazing. It was a couple who did it for 24 years in a row<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, the must really love baseball! That is a lot of time dedicated to the sport, that is really sweet that they had something they were both passionate about though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly because scheduling 2430 games every year is no easy feat<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know right! Probably after a few years they developed a working system or a program.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is a high possibility too. Do you know when the World Series was founded?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No I dont. When?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was founded in 1903 and at that time even the ottoman empire was in existence still<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting. did you know the chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back world series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes they were but then they were cursed or something because they have not won anymore since then<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hear they actually did win again, in 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh right when they had that huge celebration with 5 million people out in the streets<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, the largest gathering of humans in history!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is pretty impressive. Did you know the Cubs are one of the oldest teams in MLB?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did not! Thats cool. ITs been great talking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello there, are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I was an assistant scout for the Phillies years ago. Did you know that a married couple scheduled all 2430 games for 24 years until 2005?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, that is pretty cool. And no I didn't know that but that is very interesting. I wonder how they ever got that job?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know, but it must be complicated since there are sometimes concerts and other uses of stadiums. Also, it's too cold in some ballparks early in the season. There is a form of baseball played with a kickball in Canada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that is true, the weather is unpredictable and some stadiums don't have roofs. Yeah I think it is called soccer-baseball or something like that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is odd that managers wear baseball uniforms. Coaches in other sports don't wear uniforms.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah it is odd, but do you know why they might wear uniforms unlike other sports?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have read that they can actually enter the game but I am not sure that I believe it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that is right, technically they can play if they need to. Wouldn't that be fun to watch your team's manager play and bat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Some would do well because they were recently players, but sometimes they are over 60 years old. Some of Japan's baseball fans are surprised that it is such a big deal in the US.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I know Japanese people are really into baseball. Did you watch the world series this year?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. The American League champ plays the National League champ and the NL is not doing so well lately.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah my team was one game away from representing the NL in the series. Did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the series way back in 1926?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That was not a good baseball decision trying to steal that base.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No that doesn't sound like it. But I think he made up for it quite a bit. Do you know who the first team to win back to back world series was?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. The Cubs. The last time they won, the Ottoman Empire still existed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah good call. Are you a fan of the Cubs at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do like them. Their stadium is so old and so classic. I guess what I said about the Ottoman Empire was wrong. They won in 2016 also.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah they did, maybe that was the last time they won their back to back series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I live in Phoenix and the Diamondbacks won in 2001. I could not imagine going 108 years without winning like the Cubs did.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah our manager was a hero for you in that final game back then. Well I haven't seen one in my lifetime I am ready! It was nice talking with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you follow baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I am a dodger fan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Awesome! I like Walker Buehler. What do you think of the Dodgers/Reds trade? Think it was a good one?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No. They gave up too much. Puig was a pain in the neck, but one of the best defensive left fielders in baseball. The pitcher wood was a young guy who was an all star 2 years ago<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I was kind of surprised when they did that trade. Did you know baseball managers wear uniforms because they can technically play if needed?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I remember Pete Rose and Frank Robinson doing that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes. How about the guy who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards that were hidden in his grandfathers attic since the 1940s. I'm not ashamed to admit that I still a few packs of baseball cards every year. It gives me the thrill I had when I was kid opening them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes my base baseball cards were thrown out many many years ago. I wish I had those back<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They were super huge there in the late 80s and early 90s but have died down in popularity since then. Did you know kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I had heard that before.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know if I would like to schedule the games. For 24 years a married couple scheduled all MLB games played each year.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That sounds like a heck of a big job.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would want no part of it. Babe Ruth was thrown out stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 world series. First time I've ever seen that fact.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have never heard that before.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user First time for me as well. Did you know that baseball is really popular in Japan and many fans there are surprised to find out it's known as America's national pastime?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Baseball has been big in Japan for a long time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I find it interesting how they name the teams. Surprised we don't see that here. We could see the Walmart Cashiers playing the Target Bullseyes. lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Dodgers are called the Dodgers because their fans in Brooklyn Had to Dodge trollys to get to the Stadium. They were called trolly Dodgers, Then shortened to Brooklyn Dodgers<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is interesting! I honestly never knew that! The womens cup had higher tv ratings than the world series in the US. That kind of shows the sport is on a downtrend like the cards.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never Knew that. But baseball is a slow paced game. I guess the kids like faster paced sports<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes. They are into video games now (too much if you ask me). It's been fun talking ball with you! I enjoyed it. Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do and watch it quite a bit and you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. do you know why the managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not sure of that actually, did not notice. Why?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes because they can play if their team needs them to<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nice. DO you know how many balls are used during a MLB season?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hmm I have no idea but I know that a couple did the schedule for 24 years for those games<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that is a lot and they use 160000 balls per season<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Now that is a low. Did you hear about that guy who made 3 million from old baseball cards?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent WOw no, where did he find all those cards?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user In the attic, they were his grandfather's. How lucky<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know. A female pitcher at just the age of 17 once took out Babe Ruth and was banned after that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow that is impressive too bad and unfair she got banned though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly. Women's world cup has more viewers than the Works Series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you know when the World Series was founded?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that was back in 9013, so over 100 years old now<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah it is pretty old. They were around when the ottoman empire was around too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that feels really old. Do you know which team has lost the most championships?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hmm I do not know that, which team is that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is the dodgers, poor guys must be beating themselves about it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know. The Cubs were the only team to win back to back world series and then nothing for a long time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow they must have struck bad luck after that<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello there, do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I sure do from time to time. Do you know why the managers wear a uniform?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah they wear them because they are technically allowed to play if it need be<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes exactly. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think it is called soccer-baseball, is it not?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes it is, a combination of both games. In Japan seems to be a really popular game<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yup they are so into the game that they cannot believe it is just a pastime here<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah exactly. Do you know who used to do the scheduling for major league games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hear there was this couple who did it for 24 years in a row<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is amazing, 2430 games every year that is just too many numbers for me<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It sure is for me too. THe ottoman empire was in existence when the world series started<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that means it started really early this whole thing with baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes it started back in 1903. The Cubs were the only team to win back to back championships<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and they have not won since then so I wonder what happened there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah one wonders right? Women's world cup on the other hand has higher ratings than the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is pretty impressive. The largest gathering in human history was when the Cubs won the world series in 2016<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I heard more than 5 million people were put celebrating<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is insane. The Cubs are one of the oldest teams in MLB, along with Atlanta Braves.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is pretty cool. And they have had pitchers with 4,5, and 6 fingers in their pitching hand<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nice, that sounds interesting. They are also one of the oldest teams in MLB<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. They were once believe to have been cursed when security did not let a guy with a smelly goat in the stadium<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hey I do like baseball! Did you know that managers can actually play baseball? that's why they wear the uniforms, just in case the need arises, then they can play for the team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I did, thats pretty awesome. Hopefully they dont have to though, most of them are a bit older. Theres like 20 players on a team though, shouldnt have the need.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I agree with you. Have you ever played kickball when you were in school? Apparently in Canada, it's not called kickball, it's called soccer baseball LOL<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did, used to love kickball, I feel like kickball is a more appropriate name for it, what does soccer mean?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know right! I definitely think that kickball is the right word. It's the best way to describe it, what would you do if you found millions of dollars of baseball cards in your attic by the way?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow well pay off my car and cc's, go on a small vacation and put the rest in savings or investments, then continue my life. how about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha I would do something similar. Definitely pay off my student loans and everything. And probably retire LOL. I can't believe that some guy found 3 million dollars worth of those cards in his grandfather's attic though. What a lucky guy<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know thats amazing. That would be really nice, my relatives dont collect anything cool like that so Im on my own lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha yes that's too bad, mine did not either. Have you ever been to Japan by the way? Apparently baseball is really huge over there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have a trip planned for next jan to Japan! No I had no idea that baseball was big there, maybe I can catch a game!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You should! I've heard that the crowds are super Rowdy haha. You're not married are you? It's weird that a married couple with scheduling all of the MLB baseball games for about 24 years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I am happily married! That seems like they put a lot of time into baseball, they must really love it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think so. You ever watch the World Series by the way? I haven't watched it in a really long time myself<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have watched it a few times, especially if the sf giants are in it!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent So is that your favorite team? I like the Tigers, and I also like the Yankees LOL oh, did you know that the Women's World Cup soccer had a higher television rating than the World Series? And that was in the United States too, I wonder how that's possible<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha wow thats crazy. Yes, I love the SF Giants!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent What do you think about the Chicago Cubs by the way? Apparently after they won in 2016 about 5 million people were celebrating in the streets<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Good for them. I dont think they have won in a long time lol I cant imagine 5 billion people in the streets though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nope Chicago must have been really partying that day LOL. Did you know that they were the first team to win back-to-back World Series's?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Been good chatting<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, have you heard that one of the chicago cubs have an employed pitcher with 6 fingers?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, The cubs are one two major teams in chicago.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am guessing the second one is the Atlanta Braves.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, The chicago cubs won the 2016 world series, people celebrated in the streets, making largest gatherings in human history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well, they were the first team to win straight on the world series til 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The chicago cubs were the first team win back to back .<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is true. However, the Chicago Cubs were somewhat "cursed."<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent For this only the cubs did not play in a world series again until 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was right after a refusal towards a man with a smelly goat going into the stadium.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I hear the new. Baseball managers wear uniform because they are technically able to play for their team when need arises.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I bet they get as much compensation as the other team players.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They are very fanatic for their team should win. You ever played baseball ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I hardly play baseball. I watch the game whenever there is a Giants game coming up.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent What your Favourite game ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The Giants. Unless, you're talking about sports. My favorite sport is basketball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Kickball is also called soccer baseball in canada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, have you ever played kickball? Physical education teachers let the students play kickball in the states, as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, baseball is very popular in japan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you think that baseball started in Japan or the states?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent United state national sports is base ball. I know it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I see. Nice to talk to someone who has a good knowledge on baseball.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user The Braves seem to have a good start on the season, they are the most rested team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, how are you? I don't really know the Braves. They're a big market team, so I expect them to get marquee players.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They have a good team, so there are two points of view, a well reseted team vs a team that comes into season with a lot of practice, which one do you prefer?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would practice. I think skills get rusty. Baseball is a team sport, so they should work together. Other teams will have practiced.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think practice is better, a well rested team might begin with some troubles, games are neccesary to adapt.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I would want people to practice. They need to prepare for the season. Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Ive always wondered about that, do you know if it ever happened in a game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I suppose back in the day one of the players was chosen to be manager. Handled both jobs. Now, not necessary.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I see well the game is really popular in Japan, seems like it has a lot of fans over there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The game is very popular. I think that the Japanese have made their own version of it. Uniquely Japanese.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They did? wow, they must really like it them did you watch the Wold Series last year?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't get the chance to watch a lot of it. I know that the Dodgers lost again.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt watch it either, its a game with a lot of tradition almost 120 years since the first World Series, so 120 champions<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Cubbies won back to back WS. Then after that? It's like a curse. What should they do?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They should get like an exorcism done by all religions lol, it does seem like a curse<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The sports is popular here, but not around the world. The women's world cup had higher television ratings than the world series in the united states.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It did? guess not only the mens category is popular then, before 1969 the team with the best record would advanced to the WS that has changed now<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think the playoffs are fun, but probably a good way to get more money. The fans don't seem to mind.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So the Chicago Cubs and their curse, to think the Cubs and the Braves are the oldest teams in the league<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Braves have moved a lot, I think. Weren't they in another city?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not sure about that, but I think they were yeah.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you play or watch baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hey, I've played, but honestly not a big fan. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I used to follow it really closely, and played in highschool. But they changed the strike zone to be smaller so now the games are less exciting to me because I was a pitcher.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Really? It's interesting. Do you know why baseball is popular in Japan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No i don't actually, but I hear it is popular there. Do you know why? I'm curious.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I honestly never heard about it, but read couple minutes ago. I'm wondering is it only Japan, but any Asian country as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting, do you know if they play a championship game there? And if so, what is it called?><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have no idea. But if so, why US teams don't play aganst Japanese? lol It could the World Cup like in soccer/footaball every January 4 teams from different continents play<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know, curious why we call it a world series but the two countries never play each other.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Absolutely. Have you read an article about Chicago Cubs recently?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, I didn't see it. Apparently when they won the 2016 series 5 million people celebrated.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It also was the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series. I actually didn't know it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Awesome. They are one of the oldes teams.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent True. As well as Atlanta Braves. It's wonderful!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't know that. The Cubs were cursed in 1945 when they would let Billy Sianis stay in the stadium.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's sounds like a mystery. Just difficult to believe lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't now they were known as the North Siders. Did you know that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's also new fact for me, I didn't know. Honestly, I don't have good knowledge in history of baseball. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Sort of, babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the world series and they lost.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I know that, but it was long long time ago. Even the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Chicago Cubds won the World series. It was also long time ago<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Chicago to be honest. But I'm happy they won.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, I watch a little. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball is my favorite sport. Did you know that managers are technically able to play for their teams?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder why they wore those uniforms. I wonder if one has actually ever played?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The only one I can think if is Pete Rose who regularly played as manager. Do you have a favorite team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves, from the days of Chipper Jones. What's your favorite team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Mine is the Dodgers. I have to admire that team that Atlanta had, their pitching staff was something else.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I hear in Japan, baseball is so popular that some Japanese people are shocked to find out that its America's national pastime.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So I've heard. Do you think that Japan should ever be allowed to compete for the world championship?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Sure, why not? They have some pretty good players, actually.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They do. I have always been a little upset because the US always considers their sports teams as world champs but yet don't have to prove it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's so true! Hey, did you hear about the man that found all those old baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that was quite a find. I had no idea that baseball cards were so valuable.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Me either. Did you watch the World Series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did watch the world series, and as you can imagine I was once again disappointed in the Dodgers. Did you know that in 1992 the US marines carried the canadian flag upside down?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I can believe it. lol Which way does that leaf go anyway?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user To tell you the truth I would have to look it up. But what an embarrassment.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know right, I think I would have googled it,, before walking out!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. I feel sorry for the Marine who was carrying it. I'm sure things didn't go well for him.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He probably had to scrub the latrine with his toothbrush. Oh well, now he knows, I bet he won't forget it! Did you hear about the curse of the goat?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, what is the curse of the goat?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Apparently, the Cubs were cursed after security would not let a man bring his goat into the stadium in 1945. He cursed the team and they did not play in a World Series again until 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow. Remind me to be nice to goats. Thanks for the interesting chat, and have a nice day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you a baseball fan? ive never really enjoyed watching on tv don't have the patience for it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I prefer football but my granddaughter likes to watch baseball games on tv. So, I watch with her.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's cool! Apparently it's so popular in Japan that there surprised it's our (Americas) past time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I heard about that. Apparently baseball managers wear uniforms in case they have to play to replace players.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if that's ever happened before? Did you know that baseball use to be referred to as the Fall classics?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I will research about it later. No, I did not know that (the fall classics).<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Because in north america it is played during the fall season.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I see. Thank you for the information. A married couple used to schedule all 2430 major league baseball games played each year for 24 years.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That must of been pretty cool for them to do together. so the baseball season is how many games. do you know?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent 2430 games, I think. I might be wrong.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's a lot of games, no wonder pitcher arms get burned out. Just to refresh my memory a run is scored when a player legally crosses the bases, right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases and touches home plate.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right, and the team that scores the most points wins. Why is the word legally used can you get bases illegally?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know why the specifically use the word "legally".<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Now there is a such thing as stealing a base right? Some one told me that the ottoman empire was still in existence win the cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent My granddaughter knows much more about baseball. I think you are right, there is such a thing as stealing a base. Babe Ruth was caught doing it to end game 7 and lose the 1926 World Series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow that had to hurt. I heard that the Chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back super bowls and haven;t won since.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think what you meant was World Series since Super bowl is for football games. Yes, you are right about Chicago Cubs winning back to back.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh right thank you for the correction. Did you know that the women's cup had more tv rating that the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I heard about it. Isn't it amazing?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is, good for them! After the Cubs won the world series in 2016 over 5 million people celebrated in the streets.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, apparently it was one of the largest gathering in human history. I've got to run. It was nice chatting with you. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you follow basebal? The Nationals traded Daneil Murphy and Matt Adams<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I do. I didn't know that. Who's your favorite team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm a Yankees fan, I never knew Babe Ruth was caught stealing home in the 1926 World Serires<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It's surprising, you don't hear many bad things about Babe Ruth. I like the Dodgers therefore I am anti-yankee.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They had a great rivalry when both were in NY. It's crazy Babe Ruth would ever try to steal a base considering how big he was<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder how many stolen bases he had in his career. Maybe he thought he could just run the catcher over.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would be an interesting fact to know. It's pretty crazy the Ottoman Empire was still around when the Cubs won back to back World Series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes the Cubs have suffered from the curse of the goat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Who knew a man with a goat could wield such great power<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Remind me not to make an enemy of anyone carrying a goat. I wonder if that's where the saying being a goat came from. Like Ruth was the goat after losing that game.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don'tknow, maybe, Billy Sianis goat did stink<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Probably so. Did you know the Cubs and Braves started playing the same year as the battle of the little bighorn?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is pretty crazy, I wonder if any of the people from the Battle of Little Bighorn ever saw a Cubs game<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know. How do you feel about people today complaining about teams that are named after Native Americans, like the Braves?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Depends on how respectful it's done, the Braves don't have a bad logo but the Indians logo is pretty messed up<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The native americans don't seem to have a problem with it. It's just other people, strange.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if there are any baseball controversies in Japan, baseball is really popular there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes it is, and they have some pretty good players. I wonder if they will ever be allowed to play for the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe one day, but for now it's just between the AL and NL champions<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent True, but we Americans have a habit of declaring ourselves world champs in almost all the sports. Just doesn't seem right.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well I got to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hey there do you like baseball? Its the game that uses a ball and a bat<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do! And then they run around the bases, if they are lucky enough to hit said ball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that is true. It's crazy that baseball managers can actually join in the game, that's why they wear uniforms<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, if they need to play for their teams, I dont know why that would happen, but it might be fun to watch!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that could be cool. It's also cool that a man found millions of dollars worth of old baseball cards in his attic haha his grandfather and put them there and I guess forgotten about them?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe, I should start checking my attic and see what treasures are stored up there. I might have an early retirement.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha yes I hope so! You know what is weird though? Have you ever played the game kickball, apparently it's called soccer-baseball in Canada for some reason<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess it is a pretty accurate name too, however I much prefer kickball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Uranium kickball sounds a lot better haha. What do you think about the Japanese? Apparently they are shocked to learn that baseball is actually America's pastime and was not invented in Japan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is surprising, I bet they wonder why they are not invited to the world series either.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha yes I bet! I think it's interesting that the Women's World Cup higher television ratings than the World Series. I don't like soccer myself.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would actually say I am a bigger soccer fan than Baseball. Especially when it comes to world cups.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I don't really like either game haha. It is crazy though that the World Series actually started back in 1903, so I do respect its long history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The cubs won the first back to back series and then didnt win again until 2016. That is a long time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that is a long time, and apparently the Ottoman Empire was still a thing back when they first one at haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, I guess I hadnt realized they had overlapped. Did you hear about how they were "cursed"<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yes I heard about that! Its great that they finally broke the curse and 5 million people were celebrating in the streets!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Supposedly it was one of the largest gatherings in Human history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya you're right, I do like that they have employed handicapped players, they have had pitchers with 4,5 and 6 fingers!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is really cool. I remember Jim Abbott, the one armed player. I wonder who he played for?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not sure I havne't heard of him, but ya I also like the cubs because they, along with the braves, are the oldest MLB teams, great chat btw!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thanks! Do you follow baseball? Did you know that managers can actually play for their team if needed so that is why they suit up?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I heard something like that, but I wonder how often was that actually implemented in the game. Did You ever see something like that ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never saw that. But I've played kickball. Did you know that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user soccer-baseball ;) that's a first... is even kick ball popular in Canada ? Do You know ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know for sure. But baseball is really popular in Japan and fans are surprised to discover its status as America's national pastime<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user In Japan ? Are You sure ? I didn't know Japan played baseball. Did you ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes! They play well at the Little League World Series. Did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the '26 world series with his team only down by one run<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah, Mr. Ruth was quite a legend... have You watched games with him ? Pretty exciting thing to see...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've seen movies. In the 1992 World Series, the U.S. Marine corps color guard carried the canada flag into the stadium upside down<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow... that was the last time he did that probably... I hope it was not intentional... ;)<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series and haven't won since<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow, this must suck for them and their managers ;) such high expectations every year probably and then bum... back to square one...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Cubs have had pitchers with a varying number of fingers including 4,5 and 6. Do you know any of those pitchers?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user sorry I don't, do you ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No not sure, but one team had a one-handed pitched who did an amazing job named Jim Abbott<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user not bad... I'm sure that one hand was insured for a lot of money ;)<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Braves hadn't been in the playoffs for a while but made it this year.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Good for them, were You cheering for them ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No way. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Naah, me neither ;) I don't care much for that sport - sorry, I'm from Europe, we have different interests I guess...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nice talking. If you find old major league baseball cards, they could be worth millions. A man found 3 million dollars worth in his grandpa's attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'll start looking right now ;) thank You for the chat<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user When I was a kid I used to always collect baseball cards. I heard a man found 3 million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic. Have you ever collected baseball cards?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's cool. Sadly, bo I never collected baseball cards. What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love baseball so yes, but none are worth any crazy money. Do you watch baseball at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I do watch some games. I read somewhere that managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams, if the need arises. How wild is that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah baseball does have some weird rules. I think its because the sport is so old. My dads favorite team is the cups and they started in 1876! They also had one of the longest droughts ever, 108 years. What is your favorite team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves and they have been around as long as the Cubs, too. Both were founded the same year as the Little Bighorn battle. Wow!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Both those teams have so much fans. My dad said when the Cubs won in 2016 over 5 million people celebrated in the streets. Have you heard of the cubs curse?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, it's pretty funny actually. It started in 1945 when stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis stay in the stadium with his smelly pet goat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The best part about baseball is watching the world series. I remember when the red sox came back and beat the Yankees down 0-3. Its crazy how its been going on since 1903. I wonder how many people actually watch it still.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it's still pretty popular. You know in Japan is so popular, many fans are surprised to discover its status as America's national pastime.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dunno because my friend told me that the women's world cup had higher television ratings than the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Worldwide I think Soccer rules. But, baseball is still pretty popular, too. I read somewhere that kickball is called soccer baseball in Canada. That's kind of strange.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Speaking of strange I heard that the cubs have employed a pitcher with 6 fingers. I do not know why my dad likes that team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, they have had pitchers with 4,5, and 6 fingers on their pitching hand. Uncommon, but totally true!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Another weird thing about the cubs is the last time they won the ottoman empire was still going. Do you really think they were cursed?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know about cursed, probably just bad luck on their part.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They started out so good, they were the first team to win back to back. seems kinda weird maybe baseball is fixed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've said that before, myself! Did you know the great Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 World Series with his team down by one run?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user People do not care even if it is fixed, they still wanna watch it. in 2005 a couple scheduled 2430 games!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I heard that they did that for 24 years. They must be very organized to keep all those schedules straight.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball is a fun sport, I like seeing it in person live. Have you ever seen baseball in person?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I have seen many baseball games in my lifetime. I still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid, playing. Well, it's been nice chatting with you, I need to get to work. I'll talk to you later, friend.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user The Braves sure are a pupular team, they seem to be well rested for the playoffs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Is that good or bad. They have had no real good teams to play against.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think its a bad thing, practice is everything and not playing enough games can result in lack of chemistry<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thursday at 8:07 am eastern time, the Braves play their first playoff game since 2013. Many new players going to playoffs for first time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They have many young players so its going to be a great experience for them hope that they can make it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent As long as they do not forget that runners advance counter clock wise around four bases to score a run, they will be fine.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I think they have a great team so as long as they remember the rules everything is going to be ok, the manager can always step in and play with them<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess thats why the manager dresses like a player. Is there really a rule that catching a ball in a players hat gives the other team three bases?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dont know I haven't seen that, then again I dont watch many of the games, baseball is really popular in Japan so maybe they know if its true over there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Baseball came from Japan. Makes sense. The pitcher throws a ball which the opposing team tries to hit with a bat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh so the game originated in Japan? baseball card collectors can have a hidden fortune and people wouldnt know<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner. But when do the teams trade cards? Seems hard to advance around bases and hand out cards.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dont think they trade cards, well maybe many of them do, a man found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his basements, some can cost a lot<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Are baseballs worth anything? There are 160,000 baseballs used in a major league season.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess they are, specially important baseballs from decisive home runs or such,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I see. Interesting. So, for the Simpsons home town of Springfield it is not known what state they are in. But the Simpsons minor league baseball team is the Isotopes. See what I am getting at?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I can follow, the Isotopes were pretty bad in the Simpsons, I guess reality is not different lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That means that the Simpsons are in New Mexico. You knew that all this time. Impressive. Ronald Reagan was a radio broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs in the 1930's.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was? that would be interesting to hear lol,their stadium got cursed back in 1945<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Reagan must have had an interesting life. The Chicago Cubs used to be the Chicago Orphans. Weird. What happens in 1945?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The team got cursed back in 1945, a man named Billy Sianis wasnt allowed in and he cursed the team. The curse worked!!!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user do you like the piano?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I love it is such a classic instrument, and you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. BBC once played piano tunes all day instead of the news<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah because there was no newsworthy news that day<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Did you know Mercury and McCartney used the same piano to compose their songs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes Bohemian Rhapsody and Hey Jude, respectively<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Have you heard of circus gallop?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that is the stress testing tune for pianos right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes that one but no human can play it, strange<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I know. THere is a piano on top of the tallest mountain in the UK<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah and no one still knows how it got there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah strange for sure. The instrument goes back to 1700 though, pretty old<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nice. Do you shop online at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes all the time, I like Amazon and you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. Did you know jeff built a clock on a mountain?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. And they named a building after their first customer<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah and he spent less than $30<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Did you know their workers walk up to 15 miles a day?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I guess they are super busy after all. Did you know they own IMDB<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah they seem to be everywhere now really<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Indeed, they have become a true giant<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hey there! Happy Friday! Are you a baseball fan at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I watch a little, You?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love baseball. I'm a Yankee fan. Do you root for a team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I live near Oakland so its the A's for me<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Have you ever seen the movie Moneyball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I saw it a long time ago<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Ah I see. It was about Billie Bean managing the A's.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Do you know how many baseballs are used in a season?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no idea. I assume a ton. They lose a lot for home runs, foul balls, and then you just see them switch out balls occasionally.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent 160,000 i understand.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow. Have you ever caught a ball at a game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No but we had someone who worked there that we know give us one haha.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't think I ever have. Do you remember people going nuts for Barry Bonds homerun balls?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, people dove into McCovey Cove to get them. Did you know SF radio stations threw shade at Kansas City?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Against the Royals? How come?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They banned the song royals by lorde lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha really? Did they play in the World Series one year? That must be it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes the world series has been contested 114 times<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's crazy but to be far the World Series was even around when the Ottoman Empire still existed<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah just since 1903<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hey it was great chatting with you. Have a great weekend.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hey! Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do. I love watching the Chicago Cubs in the NL.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was so awesome to see them finally win the World Series in 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that was so exciting! Especially after a 108 year drought!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Totally! They were the first team to ever win back-to-back World Series, then nothing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I do love Wrigley field where they play - its within the city<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you know they evidently didn't win for so long because they were "cursed" by a man named Billy because Wrigley Field security would let him stay there with his pet goat?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes - who takes a goat to a baseball game? But 5 million people celebrated in the streets after they finally won!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would have, too! For one of the oldest teams in the major league? What a day.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. The Cubs and Atlanta are the two oldest teams - founded the same year as the battle of little bighourn!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It's so weird to think that the Cubs is only one of the two baseball teams in Chicago.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that is pretty funny. They have always been unique - they have had pitchers with 4, 5, and 6 fingers!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's pretty neat. Can you believe the Ottoman empire was still in existence when the Cubs first won the World Series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that was a long time ago! They have appeared in 11 world series total - apparently they were a lot better a hundred years ago!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love watching the World Series, though the Women's World Cup had higher ratings.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes the World Series is great fun to watch. The Fall Classic is always exciting. I am not sure if I like it better with the playoffs than how it used to be with just the best record which went.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball is so popular in Japan, they are always surprised to hear it is America's National pasttime.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I think its funny the reason that baseball managers wear a uniform is that they are actually allowed to play!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow! I wonder if the same is true for the Kickball managers, or soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never realized that there was a couple who scheduled all of the major league games every year - all the way up until 2005!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, that's gotta be over 2400 games!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wish my parents had collected baseball cards. One lucky guy found 3 million dollars worth of cards of his grandfathers!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's so cool!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Good! Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do like it. Do you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes there are interesting facts about baseball, like the number of balls used in a season: 160,000!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, that's a lot! The Nationals missed the playoffs last year too!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I looks it was a difficult season for them, they did score but against one of the teams in the bottom, the Marlins<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They had a really great lineup that really underpreformed. It was a shame they couldnt perform under their new manager.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is tough, they were basically depending on other teams to collapse, the braves and the Phillies<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The Braves over performed and the phillies did too. It would be tough to win that division with those two ahead of you.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Talking about the world series, i found it funny that in 2014 a great song was banned by 2 san francisco radio stations, do you know why?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do not know, why?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent it was the series between SF giants and new orleans Royals, so they banned Royals by Lorde, i think that is a great song<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user HA! That's funny. Like watching babe ruth trying to steal a bag...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent How is that? Tell me about it!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Babe Ruth was a large man. He was not the fleetest of foot. He was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 world series!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is funny!! talking about babe ruth there was a pitcher, a female one banned when she struck out Babe ruth and Lou ghering.. kind of unfair!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah! THat's sexism! Seems like something they would do in the 20s and 30s though...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is true, i think she did something incredible. And about women I was surprised to learn that the world series had a lower rating compared to womens' world cup<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The braves and the cubs are the oldest two teams in MLB. That's crazy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is true, founding members in 1876 with a different name<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow! Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you doing tonight?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Pretty well and you? Do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have watched baseball from time to time. You?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes me too sometimes. Do you know why managers wear uniforms during the game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think they can rush on the field at a moment's notice to play a position. Highly unlikely though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, interesting and good for them just in case. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dunno. Canadian kickball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is actually called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That makes sense. Canadians would find the middle-of-the-road term for the sport. What about the man who found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic? That's pretty cool.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is for sure, he made a lot of money there. DO you know who used to do the schedule for the major baseball league games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I figured the schedule would be done by computer. Who does it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was a couple who did it for 24 years straight<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow. That must have been a pretty sweet job. I wonder how much it paid.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is a sweet gig for sure. They scheduled 2430 games a year<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a lot of games, but maybe year to year it doesn't vary so much. Get it right once and the following years are straightforward.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent True. In Japan baseball is so popular that they cannot believe it is a pastime in the US<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think the Japanese are not aware of many things outside of their country. Until a Japanese person does something important outside of Japan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess. Did you know the CUbs were the first team to win back to back world series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The Cubs! How ironic! They struggled for so long to get a Series!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, and they have not won ever since<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a curse if I've ever heard of one. Well, someone needs to hire a gypsy woman to lift the curse.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess. Nice chat<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hi how are you? do you like game of thrones?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do like Game of Thrones! Do you know any interesting facts about it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Um this is the final season? i think it starts next month. i cant wait.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Me too. I can't believe it's already been 7 seasons since it first premiered on HBO on April 17,2011.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, the show has a tremendous following and could go on forever. but i think it is better to draw things to a close. especially because of the author.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Did you know that Harry Lloyd is the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Harry Lloyd? who is that ? i have heard of Charles Dickens. he wrote oliver twist.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes...Harry Lloyd plays Visery Targaryen on GOT.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh, ok. i am bad with names. i usually remember the names of the pretty women. LOL<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent LOL Here's another one...Charlie Chapins granddaughter plays Talisa Maegyr on Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Whoa. i guess famous people have famous descendants. I guess i am screwed here. LOL Who is your favorite GoT character?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would have to say Khal Drogo. Arya is the fastest rising baby name given to girls in the US...most likely due to Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That guy is amazing. He played aquaman too. Arya is a good name. short, easy to spell.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes! GOT gets financed by Ireland because they film scenes there which boosts tourism incomes. That makes sense.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I bet it is the same as LOTR and New Zealand. the locals might get tired of tourists though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe. I myself would love it. lol There is a National Geogrpahic wild show called Game of Lions that follows the lives of lions like GOT characters. lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hm. well, i guess that GoT is a cultural phenomenon. Game of Lions sounds a bit flat though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes! Do you like horses at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, I do like horses, but I have never ridden one. they are majestic but expensive animals. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know that Clint Eastwood had a mid life allergy to horses? It was a good chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is too bad for clint. he loves horses! Great chat! have a good night!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thanks! Hope you have a good night too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hey there! Do you lie Pixar films? I just finished watching Up.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I love Pixar films. Up is a good one. I think it's cool that Pixar studio has a secret room that is often visited by celebrities.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah for sure! I just heard about that room a few days ago. Speaking of Disney, do you like the movie Aladdin?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah Aladdin is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to the remake. I really enjoyed Robin Williams in the original.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. I miss him making films. I guess he started the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films. What a legend.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Very much a legend. Rest in peace Robin. Celebrities make so much money. For example judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's crazy! I don't even watch Judge Judy. Celebs make too much, I think.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I think we should put our priorities in different things not just celebrities. But some celebrities do good like that celebrity TV chef in Ethiopia who is trying to combat his countries hunger problem.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's super interesting. Its crazy to think how much celebrities and pop culture influences our lives. There's this show called Game of Thrones that everyone is talking about.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh yeah I love that show. I am so excited for the finale. There is even a National Geographic show that is like Game of Thrones except with lions.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I've never watched the show! What is it about?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is very complicated but it is set long ago on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos. It is all about attaining power essentially!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That sounds like something I might want to watch in the future. I've been thinking about naming my future child Arya. Apparently, that's a character in the show! I guess it's the fastest rising baby name.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is a really cool name. That show has done a lot. Ireland actually pays the series so that the film scenes boost tourism for Ireland.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting. I've always wanted to see Ireland. I guess there are a lot of horses there, and I am interested in seeing them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and it is also very green and beautiful. You would definitely like the Show Game of Thrones because there are a lot of horses in the show.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'll have to check it out sometime. Are you interested in horses as well?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I have rode horses quite a bit. They are very unique and loving animals. However I never rode a horse to school like those two high school students who got suspended that one time.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have heard about that. Did you know that Clint Eastwood is allergic to horses, even though he has been on horseback for many of his movies?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That must've made work a bit harder! Have you ever ridden a horse with a fifth speed like the Icelandic horses have? It is called Tolt.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have not. I've ridden Lipizzaner horses, though. They're known for their classical dressage performances.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Very cool. Apparently they are born black or brown and take about six years to turn completely white. It was nice chatting with you see you later.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I saw an article that says pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's funny, considering the number of stars in their films, following in Robin Williams footsteps!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Robin Williams in aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I wonder if Judge Judy who makes $123000 per episode might do one!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user thats funny! I just saw that Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the childrens series sesame street<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is quite a bit different than American fantasy drama series Game of Thrones!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ethiopia has a celebrity tv chef who believes he can combat his country's hunger problems by encouraging everyone to eat more diverse foods<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Perhaps he could join the cast of Game of Thrones, since they film in Croatia, Malta and all over the world!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I just saw that Charlie Chaplins granddaughter plays talisa maegry in game of thrones<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting. Harry Lloyd is also a famous descendant, the great-great-great grandson of charles dickens.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user some famous people. did you know that there is a Nat Geo wild show called games of lions that follows the lives of lions like the game of thrones characters<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow. I wonder if Ireland helps finance that like they do the actual show!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Good question. I saw that Arya is the fastest rising new baby name given to girls in the US most likely due to game of thrones<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent People like celebrities, real and fictional - almost as much as horses or Equus Ferus!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Icelandic horses have a fifth speed, tolt, that is basically speedwalking for a horse<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder when that started in the 45 to 55 million evolution of the species!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user not sure about that. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 bc<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting, so the entire process of getting them used to humans took 1000 years or so.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user it says that domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting, although there are still some wild horses in nature.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I read that Dalmations are associated with firefighters because they would calm and protect the horses.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow! I hope there are no fires in this area! Nice to chat with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user do you know much about celebrities?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know that Pixar has a room just for celebrities?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah heard of that but it sounds a bit unfair though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree. DId you know Robin Williams was the voice of Aladdin?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes and that is how that trend of celebrities doing voice started<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah. Do you know who is the highest paid celebrity?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes that would be, believe it or not, LeBron James<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes he makes more than Judge Judy and she makes $123 000 per episode<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes that is a lot . DO you know how a chef in Ethiopia plans to combat hunger?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes he thiks that we should just eat more diverse foods<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder how that would worl. DO you know who Carol Burnett is?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street. DO you watch Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I do. Did you know the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens plays in it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is Harry Lloyd who plays Viserys<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah and also Chaplin;s granddaughter plays in it as well<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes that is the actress that plays Talisa Maegyr in the show<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Arya seems to become a very popular name for babies now<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and it is all because of the use of the name in the show<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Have you heard of the show Game of LIons on Nat Geo?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it involves lions instead of actors, so cool. Nice chat<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Same here<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, do you like Disney?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I actually really enjoy disney! How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user When I was a kid. In the 70's hey recycled frames<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent walt disney?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, they are one of Hollywoods big Six<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know frozen was the first animated disney film directed by a woman<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh wow, that is neat. I loved that movie. I bet the toys came out before the movie!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i think toys always come out before the movie, they gotta get the children hooked first lol The kids will drive the parents crazy until parents buy the toys lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Funny, I would want to see the movie then choose. Have you seen the Lion King?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes what a great movie, they have a lot of good songs as well<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was dubbed in Zulu for release in Africa...that good!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh nice, way to cater to the locals.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if they had a new respect for Lions being in Africa haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I cant believe that the development of the film wreck it ralph started in the 80's<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hard to believe Disney only took its curent name in 1983<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah thats weird.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Pixar and Walt disney Studios are under the Big Six<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh I see, what is the Big six?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is just Hollywoods biggest 6 studios.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Gotcha. That makes sense that they are under that them<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Alright, have a good night. Good Chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Great chat, night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi how are you today? Are you registered to vote?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am, how about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I am too. Did you know that Not all men in the uk had the right to vote until 1918.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know that but I do know that this country still engages is voter suppression; not much has changed over the years with the GOP<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Here is a crazy fact. 34% of the black male population in alabama has permanently lost the right to vote.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah because they are all convicted felons; time to change that law for sure<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes lol How about we change the subject. Do you like disney movies? I love them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do...I watch them with the kids; Which is your favorite?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I cant say.

Theres karma in a cartoon. lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you ever see Frozen?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Absolutely . I have to small nieces and I can sing all the songs just like them . Hey do u think you will vote in the next election?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am going to let the GOP know I am not happy one bit and vote on the other side of the aisle<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yep. Its crazy but since 1928 The last time a republican was elected president without a nixon or bush on the ticket was 1928<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't like the head of the party...lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Is that true?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Absolutely, I don't agree with the job Trump is doing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Very true. It has been good talking to ya.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent same to you<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Merry Christmas also Bye<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I hear there was a hope-monger gathering that drew 8000,000 ppl to it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thats a lot of people! Surprised I haven't heard of it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow did you know that Astronauts can vote from space.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is so cool. Not all men in the uk had the vote until 1918.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Every US president with a beard has been a republican.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thats funny. It should be mandatory to have a beard if youre a president! Ha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right! The use of red and blue for Dems and Repu only started in 2000. I would have thought it was longer.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right! I thought it would have been more than 19 years!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The toy industry gets involved before the beginning of the production of a movie according to disney.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent And the development of the Disney film wreck it ralph started in the late 80's.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow spanning nearly 3 decades with four working titles.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Just remarkable. I cant believe Frozen was the first animated Disney film directed by a woman.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know and that cartoon practically took over my life.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Impressive! Frozen was a very good movie in my opinion.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think so to but you know the kids. it was a running dialogue at my house for what seemed like forever.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thats hilarious! Did you watch pirates of the Caribbean?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did all of them. which was your favorite?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I liked the first one. Did you know those movies earned over $1 billion in worldwide box office gross?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow i did not know that. Johnny depth is an amazing actor.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Agreed, which one did you like the best?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think 2 was my favorite though i liked them all. 1 & 2 were the best for me. Kinda went down hill after that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree, I only really remember watching the first one.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Disney owes Marvel so they during just fine as far as finances go. You ever see Lion King?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes! It was the first Disney film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's right, well nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hey there I like it and watch it a lot and you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah me too. Do you know why managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not sure of that, why? I did not know they wear them in the first place<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah they wear them because they are allowed to play if it need be<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh that is neat. Do you know who the Albuquerque Isotopes are named after?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hmm I do not know that, who? Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not sure of that but the team was named after a team in the SImpsons<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha that is awesome. In Canada it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hmm interesting. DO you know how many balls are used during a MLB season?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hmm I have no idea but likely it is a lot as there are a lot of games played. How many?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well you are right it is a lot, about 160 000<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow amazing. Do you know who did the MLB scheduling for 24 years?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hmmm I do not actually, who? Do you know the cubs, the team?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was a couple and they schedule 2430 games a yeah. Yeah I know the Cubs<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent WOw that is a lot. Well the Cubs won back to back championships and then nothing for a while<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user WOw I wonder what happened there. IN Japan the sport is so popular that they don't believe it is just a pastime in the US<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent WOw nice. Do you know the song Royal by Lorde?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I do, is it somehow related to baseball or the games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah two radio stations banned it during a game between the Giants and ROyals<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha that makes so much sense, staying neutral<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Did you know Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i did not knwo that actually, has that ever needed to happen?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not sure, but it would be interesting if it did.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that would be, do you collect baseball cards at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I used to, how about you? It was incredibly popular when I was younger.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never did, but someone once found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his grandfathers attic, what a come up!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user WOW! Did you know Bestbuy and Target will price match Amazon?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent no i did not, but amazon is usually very competitive, so that is impressive!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it is. Target apparently doesn't carry tobacco products.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is good, in my state no grocery store can sell alcohol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, not surprising. Maryland used to have a law like that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am around that area, so that makes a lot of sense. Vermont is the only state without a target believe it or not!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting. Why is that? I'm' curious.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i am not sure, it is interesting, you would expect it to be Alaska or another low population state<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, that is interesting. Did you know Kickball is also called Soccer Baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent no, but I suppose the name does make sense! I like baseball though, it is americas pastime!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it is a good sport. It is also really popular in Japan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard they are usually surprised how popular it is in America too!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, they don't know it is our national pastime.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess that surprises even me, football seems to be more popular from my anecdotal viewpoint<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, very true. The chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back world series. Pretty amazing.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hey there what do you think of the game of baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Baseball is ok. I remember hearing my older relatives calling the World Series the Fall Classic. It sounds very retro.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha that is retro, I never knew that baseball managers could start playing if they wanted to, and thats why they wear uniforms<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I just recently learned that, too, and thought it was very interesting! It might be like an embarrassment to the team to have to bring in a manager like that, though. What do you think?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha ya I would think so, can you believe that baseball is super popular in Japan, I had no idea<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yea, when I worked for Target a few years ago I remember they'd have Japanese baseball on in the break room along with other TV's with American Sports.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ah that is interesting, I wish I was like the guy who found millions of dollars of baseball cards in his attic, now that would be a surprise<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent As long as I'm not like the guy found in a beer cooler behind a concession stand at a baseball stadium. He was found just before a braves game, too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya I heard about that that was crazy, did you ever play kickball as a kid? I guess it's called soccer-baseball in canada<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Canadians do have some different ways about them. Soccer-baseball does sound hilarious. So does poutine, though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha well I do like poutine, but I think that yes soccer-baseball sounds incredibly dumb haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder if they have poutine at American baseball games? I heard they started a poutine restaurant in California.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow that sounds delicious right now, do you ever shop at Target btw?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I like Target better than Walmart, although I don't know about the corporations as a whole and how they do business. I hear more about Walmart being unfair...don't really ever hear that about Target but who knows, I guess...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya I don't really know, I do go to target and apparently Vermont is the only state that doesn't have a Target in it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's very interesting. I wonder why Target isn't in Vermont, yet. Also, I wonder if Walmart is in Vermont, now? Maybe they have Bi Mart...although it's not very upscale for Vermont!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha that'd be funny to see! what is screwy is a state senator actually works at target in order to make enough money to get by<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard recently that eighty percent of the supplements sold in places like Target contain NONE of the advertised herbs in them. We really need a better rules system.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow ya I agree, that's really messed up, at least Target doesn't carry tobacco products that is good<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Very true! I wasn't aware until recently that Target was originally named Good fellow Dry Goods! Now THAT is retro! hahah<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha definitely an improvement! pretty crazy that it has been around since 1902 and was founded in Minneapolis!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hi how are you? do you like to dance?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I like to watch dancing performances. I do not dance. I wish I could.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do not dance either. i am terrible. i might hurt people in the vicinity. i would hurt their feelings.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you know who Bruce Lee was?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do! he was a great martial artist that wowed american audiences with his prowess.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He was also a great dancer. He won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship in 1958.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess he had a tremendous sense of rhythm too. I would love to see footage of him dancing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was before youtube. Probably, you cannot find it online.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, that is too bad. he was probably a real ladies man too. Tupac was also a great dancer.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent A ballet dancer! He was the mouse king in his high school production of the Nutcracker.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would love to see video of that too. he was a backup dancer for digital underground too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That was interesting. If I were not self conscious, I might be able to dance just like what babies do when they hear music.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I probably could not dance as a baby even. It feels like work to me.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I understand. Do you know that professional ballet dancers can go through four pairs of pointe shoes in a week?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user If i did it, it would be a dozen pairs. or forty. LOL i would probably bust the floor too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Talking about babies earlier, apparently, babies will dance spontaneously when they hear music and smile more when they hit the beat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, i believe it. I wonder if i was like that. i think i wasnt.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Perhaps you can ask your parents.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess i could. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was nice chatting with you too!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Have a good weekend!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Perhaps I will learn how to dance this weekend at the community center. If babies can dance, I think I can too. Good night and have a good weekend to you too.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How's it going, have you seen the 2018 release of Black Panther?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I haven't but I understand there is some parallel being drawn between it and "The Wiz"<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not to familiar with the Wiz, is that based on the Wizard of Oz?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, it has much different music (e.g., funk and disco). The movie had Michael Jackson. It doesn't have the song "Be a Lion."<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I've heard the Wiz as being described as weird, from the description I tend to agree<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is kind of weird... The music and the dancing are at the core. You might remember the song "Ease on Down the Road."<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe but not that I think of it the normal Wizard of Oz is weird, like really weird so I guess the Wiz should be weird too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent There is a big cultural difference between the two, like a farm in KS vs. Detroit. Funny, it is at the Ford Theater in D.C.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Ford Theater, isn't that were Lincoln was assassinated?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yep. I didn't realize it was still a theater. I would have imagined it as a museum. The tickets are $20-$73.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess $20-$73 for tickets isn't a bad price, if the Wiz is performed near me maybe I'll check it out<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I may see the Black Panther. I guess he is the richest of all superheros with $500B. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne aren't even close.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nope, I hear Chadwick Boseman did a great job as T'Challa, he was great in Civil War<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't even remember it being a comic book. I wonder if people confused it with the radical civil rights group under the same name?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I used to think Black Panther was named after the group but I guess the comic came out before the group<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting. Now I'm wondering it the civil rights group got their name from the comic? They changed the name to "Black Leopard" -- doesn't sound as cool.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nope, black leopard sounds kinda lame<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't realize Siri was intended for Android until Apple bought it inn 2010.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me neither. I personally find Siri creepy, especially when it sings the same song as hal 9000<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yikes! Hal creeps me out. It's like picturing Tupac as a ballet dancer. I guess he did that in high school. I can't see that...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well I got to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Did you ever think about how celebrities in science are rarer than in music, film, sport, and politics?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I never thought of that. Were you a fan of Stephen Hawking?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think that it was amazing how he was almost completely paralyzed and could accomplish so much.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I agree, he was brilliant as well. He was the ultimate example of mind over matter.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was one of the first people to apply quantum physics to black holes and make predictions with a process named after him as "Hawking radiation"<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah his understanding and explaining of quantum physics and other matter is incredible.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't really understand what he understood because it seems so foreign to me, but he also had a lot of wit as well to share with the world.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I am the same, it is very complex stuff. There are scientists who theorize that universes evolve through natural selection like species do here.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hawking was very active up until the end of life even travelling and lecturing internationally. I have to give credit as well to his supporters<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I agree with you there. I guess there is a radical theory that there is only one electron in the universe! I'm sure Hawking would have disagreed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Probably. Also, there is a region of space maybe pulling galaxies outside the observable universe. There must be so much out there.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, yeah it is wild to think about the universe as a whole in general.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Strange but there are some stars that are cold enough that they can be touched by a human hand<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a strange fact, very cool. Did you know that Kim jong-un has a degree in physics?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not sure who that is, but I wonder if Hawkings would validate the tidbit that the universe could have come from nothing without violating physics?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm not sure that is an interesting thought and he is the leader of North Korea.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh wow! Robin Williams in aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrity voicings of animated film characters.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know that. I guess Pixas spent 3 years studying the physics of curly hair in order to get merida's hair in brave right.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user People don't realize how much time is spent on these details. Judge Judy makes a heap of money at $123,000 per episode being highest paid celebrity behind Lebron James<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Holy cow that is so much an episode. I wonder how much other tv people make.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know, but I guess not as much. Carol Burnett was the first celebrity on Sesame Street :)<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you know who Stephen Hawking is?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello, yes I do. I actually just recently watched a movie about him as well. The Theory Of Everything, very well done and explained a lot about his life.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting, I've seen that one too. Did you know a lot of his work is around blackholes?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Did you know that the deepest note in the universe is emitted by a black hole!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It wouldn't surprise me. I think a lot of his work was around the Event Horizon's if I remember correctly.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent If you fold a paper in half 103 times it would be as thick as the observable universe!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Somehow I don't believe that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Ok. Thats cool. I have no idea if thats true, something I read recently in some cool facts. This is no where near my area of expertise. I did read that there may be a universe inside the black hole though, isn't that crazy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, they have a lot of wacky ideas about the universe. That much I do know. They also propose it is a hologram.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I also read that the universe used to be opaque due to there being too much plasma that light could not travel through it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, I've read that as well. There are stars in the universe that are cold enough to be touched by humans.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Thats really cool. I can't imagine touching a star. Have you ever heard of a hubble telescope? Apparently it discovered a galaxy so big it shouldn't exist, according to physics.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, that is pretty cool. I know a lot about Hubble, it is a pretty cool telescope.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Sounds like it!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, I remember when they did the space walk to fix it, remember that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do not. Was that recently?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was about 15 years ago, apparently the hubble is having problems again.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I see. Guess they really need to make some upgrades. A lot in technology has changed in years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it does. Pretty bad, the hubble can see a lot of things.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know turbulence is one of physics great mysteries?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did, but they sort of have it figured out. I hate turbulence. Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Good, how are you? Celebrities in science are quite rare aren't they? I was a fan of Stephen Hawking. I'm sad he finally passed away from ALS.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He was tremendous thinker. Gosh, I wonder if he was as smart as Kim Jong-un, who has a degree in physics, supposedly.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would think that he is smarter. I wonder how it felt to have such a physical disability but yet such a sharp mind.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user In his younger years, he wasn't badly afflicted. I wonder whether he was one of the scientists who theorize that universes evolve through natural selection<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hmm, it wouldn't surprise me. Hawking went further than Einstein did on understanding of gravity. Hawking developed new graphical methods that let him visualize physics of light paths in warped space, black holes, and the convulsions of the universe.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user And he did all that while battling ALS. There is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe. Does this make any sense? I wonder who came up with that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hmm, it does not to me but I know I'm not much of a scientific mind. Hawking strengthened the Big Bang theory as well that says that the galaxies were in a compressed area smaller than a single atom before the big bang.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hard to imagine, but I guess the mathematics supports it. The universe could have come from nothing without violating physics. Particles can pop in and out of existence, so I guess a universe worth could as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, it's hard for me to relate to scientists and all of their elaborate theories but Hawking was blessed with wit. He was quite the jokester, which makes him very relatable.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think he took to his celebrity status quite well. Pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities. I wonder if Hawking ever got a chance to see it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Speaking of celebrities, did you know that Judge Judy is the highest paid celebrity after lebron james?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The woman is a legend. Over $100k per episode. Probably a longer career too. But she probably hasn't done any animated voice work.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess celebrities doing voice work is a fairly new thing in terms of history. Robin Williams was the first to start the trend of celebrities doing animated film voices. This was for the movie Aladdin.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did he ever appear on Sesame Street? Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the children's series. He would have been great on that show!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a good question! Do you like celebrity chefs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not especially. I think it's more about them than the food. You?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, not really. It's cool that a celebrity chef from Ethiopia is using his fame for good. He believes he can combat his country's hunger problems<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think he'll have a positive impact. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, it has been fun. This talk of food has made me hungry though!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How's it going? Did you know that the Universe could be just a giant holgram?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, Wow that is a hard concept to digest! Did you know it may be possible to touch a star?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No I had no idea, that would be awesome though as long as the star isn't too cold<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have confirmed there are cold stars and can be touch by our hands<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's pretty cool. I wonder if it has anything to do with the region of space that may be pulling galaxies outside the observable universe<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow the universe is so marvelous and complex, there are many theories, for example that there is only one electron in the universe!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That would be insane if there is only one electron in the universe, it would mean I wasted a lot of time in chemistry class<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a crazy theory! I totally agree. It is good there has been curious people like the Greeks, Copernicus, Newton. Not always right but opened the way for research!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, it's interesting that the Universe may have evolved through natural selection like the species on earth<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent All this has to do with Physics... did you know Pixar studied the physics of curly har for 3 years?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, that's pretty crazy, I wonder if they asked Kim Jong-un to help since he has a degree in physics<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent hahahaha It was for Maida's hair in "Brave" very different hair from Kim's... but maybe he helped with some knowledge<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe Kim could explain how the universe was able to come from nothing without violating the rules of physics<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent hahaha that would not be easy! Talking about Pixar, did you ever hear about their secret room?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, I heard Pixar let's celebrities visit it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I saw it in the extras of Toy Story, its cool! do you know about the highest paid celebrities?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user A little, I know Jude Judy is the highest paid before Lebron James<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent wow that is crazy!! how much does she make?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Jude Judy is paid 123,000 an episode for her show<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow that is a lot! Do you know Rbin williams was a pioneer in voicing characters for animation movies?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes in Aladdin. Well I have to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like to dance?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello, no I do not , do you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do when I have a few drinks in me lol. I turned into a michael jackson type dancer<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's funny, I have never been much into it. I can do a few Fortnite dances because my kids force me to.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user lol all kids know how to do that, they are hilarious! Michael Jackson has a patent from that lean he does<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I believe that, music is such a strong persuader.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user for sure, I love music. Babies do too. Did you kids as baby dance a lot?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent My son use to bob his head a lot to music when he was a baby, so I believe it!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I believe it too, I am watching my 10 month old right now shake her little behind to some music while standing up ha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you see the black panther movie?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yep, it was a great movie. A lot of people watched it, I think it made a billion or more at the box office, did you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I cant believe Disney now owns all of Marvel!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right, talk about a great investment! Black Panther is the richest of all superheroes<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Really I would have thought Tony Stark would have been!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too, or Batman! I think Black Panther is worth 500 billion dollars!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's crazy I wonder if he would use Siri? Im sure he uses a virtual assistant somewhere in that fortress of technology.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user right lol. I have siri but never utilize that technology much, do you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I use it only to make my grocery list! What voice do you use for yours?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is a great idea, I just use the default one, the original I think. How about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I recently switched from the Australian voice to the U.K version, gotta keep my women interesting fresh!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I will have to check that out lol! It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your weekend!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you enjoy baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Just haven't followed it in the past few years.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me neither I just like to watch the World Series from time to time, its a sport with a lot of history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Find it funny that the isotopes, a minor league, was named after a team on the simpsons<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is funny, I used to love them in The Simpsons do you like the Yankees? that is one of the most popular teams.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm a Phillies person. I like that the Yankees uniforms doesn't have the players names on their back. Interesting concept.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is an interesting concept, did you hear about the pitchers that swapped families permanently ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent How can you swap families? Didn't hear that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that happened back in 1973, and I dont know how that can work seems like both families are nuts<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent LOL Must be! How about that 17 year old female striking out babe ruth and lou gehrig. Wonder what ever happened to her?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user She did? woah, maybe she was hired to play in the league lol , Ruth and Gehrig must had felt terrible specially because of all the sexism of the time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent For sure!! I never knew a team receives 3 bases if an opposing team player catches a ball in their hat!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt know about that rule, maybe it happens often, do you know the team Chicago Cubs?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. They're the team that only won the series twice and those wins were back to back.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah they havent won the series since then, I guess the team is cursed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Cursed for being greedy lol!! Your Yankees have the second highest attendance record!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess that was the price they had to pay and really? the second one? I thought they were first<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I might have misread that. 2011 they were second highest. Anyway it was nice chatting with you!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh so that was back in 2011 that makes more sense, and it was great chatting I agree have a nice day bye<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes thank you<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Ok bye again lol<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I am guessing long ball is really working for the Dodgers, what do you think?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah it really worked for them this season, just didn't have enough in the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Who do you think will win out of the top ten?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent For next season? Well I think the Yankees will have a better season.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, they seem good. I also was happy to see the Brewers finally rising to the challenge.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hey now your talking, the Brewers are my favorite team. I was upset when they lost game 7 to the dodgers.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I used to live in Wisconsin so still happy when they win. LA team looks pretty good too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Nice! Yeah LA has been really good the last few seasons, I think they will have another good one next year.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you think next year will favor slugging hitters again?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it will. I think there will be even more home runs next year, how about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think so as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you watch much of the world series this year?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, I missed it, I work odd hours.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah after the Brewers lost I didn't have too much interest.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, I just read that in 1973 two yankees pitchers swapped families permanently, is that crazy or what?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is wild! I know Babe Ruth was a famous Yankee, did you ever see the movie the pride of the yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have not, to be honest I'm not a sports fan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I watched it recently it was pretty good, Babe Ruth played himself in the movie, a good Yankee movie.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is interesting! Did you see they suspended Don Mattingly because he refused to get a haircut? I can't imagine that happening these days.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I remember the Simpsons doing a parody of that one time as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Now you're talking! Love the Simpsons!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh yeah, the softball episode is my favorite of all time, Daryl Strawberry was in it, he was a former Yankee right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you remember which season? I'll have to catch that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it was season 3 or 4 maybe, but I think the best ever.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I love this time of year. Baseball opening day is just around the corner. Are you a fan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have been to a few games, mostly New York Yankee games in the Bronx.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well they Yankees are the most successful team of all time. By far the most World Series wins.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Bobby Richard on the Yankees was the only person to win a World Series MVP despite losing the series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I can imagine that was bittersweet for him then. Did you go to old Yankee Stadium or the new one that opened in 2009?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have been to both stadiums. I suppose I am one of the numbers that support the Yankees having the second highest attendance.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Are you a Mets fan too? I know they are not as popular as the Yankees but they have a big following too<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am definitely a bigger fan of the Mets. I like underdog stories. I never knew in 1974 they shared Shea Stadium with the Mets.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think the Jets and Giants played at Shea at some point to. Lots of work for the groundskeepers<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I bet. It was around the same time in 1973 that two Yankee pitchers swapped families permanently. How unusual.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Probably the strangest baseball trade in MLB history.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha that is very good. Speaking of strange the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Chicago cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The Ottoman empire was in existence in 2016? That does not seem accurate.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think it was the World Series won before 2016. Because according the the facts the Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back to back world series and haven't won since, with exception to 2016.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have to respect Cubs fans for sticking with the team for 100 years of losing<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Baseball is all about tradition. That is probably why a married couple scheduled all 2430 major league games up until 2005.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Can you imagine the planning and cost that would go into that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They were great at managing it. I never heard of any mistakes. Speaking of managers. Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are techincally able to play.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Interesting. Also baseball is just as popular in Japan if not more so.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is interesting. It is so popular they are surprised to find it is actually America's national pastime.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user A lot of Japanese players have gone on to have great careers in the MLB. Ichiro is one of the best hitters of all time.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Sure. baseball is intersting. i try to watch the world series. you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too, interesting how the cubs were the first team to win them back to back and then had really bad luck some would say the team was cursed<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think that they suffer a curse. what can they do to lift the curse? is there a spell to cast? A sacrifice to make?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I dont know, thats an interesting question maybe sacrifice a goat and call it a day? do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not a yankees fan. could we sacrifice another goat against the yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Sounds like a solid plan, you get the goat lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I figure that there must be something that can both lift the cubs curse and transport it to the yankees. Who has the most world series thus far?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no idea, I would have to say the Yankees,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, i think the Yankees have the most. Is this the result of voodoo and witchcraft? if so, then it can be undone through voodoo.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no idea about magic, maybe Bobby Richardson is also cursed, he is the only person to win the MVP award and the lose the series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is a shame. The new york yankees suspended don mattingly because he refused to get a haircut. Does that seem fair?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, it does not seem fair at all, there is also a Lost Yankees player<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Lost? How did they lose him? that sounds almost intentional. What about bill oreilly? he has been pretty sneaky too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no idea, I think it means a player in the Lost series, and what about him? what did old Bill do this time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh, he pretended to be a member of the press while he was in college in order to get season tickets.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh I heard about that, thats so funny, best part is that it worked, he fooled many and got to watch the games for free<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent ol Bill is a cunning one. you gotta keep a close eye on him. maybe if he had worn a uniform, he could pretend to be a manager.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He could just to get season tickets I know I would, he sure pulled a fast one on many<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess i was never tempted to get season tickets, but if I were, i would probably stray into the chicanery that bill committed. his sin is the sin that i would commit, were i in his shoes. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess we are different that way lol, I would follow Bills footsteps and get me free tickets and I agree its been a great and fun chat thank you very much, bye.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do like baseball. dont get much chance to watch. usually watch the WS. you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I love baseball as well. Did you know managers can technically play which is the reason they wear uniforms?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I bet that is from the old days. I bet in the old days, one of the players was chosen to be manager.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha that would be funny to see. Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent What? Why? is kickball not clear enough? boy those canadians need to have a word for everything LOL<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user LOL I agree. A man once found $3 million dollars worth in baseball cards.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is a terrific find. i would probably sell a few, but keep the rest as an investment. what about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree, I would definitely sell the rest so I could retire early lol.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, that's true. buy stock and live off the dividends. did you watch the world series last year?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't get to watch it. What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I watched a few games. the dodgers lost again. they really have trouble in the series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm a huge Cincinnati Reds fan. Just hoping I can see a World Series one day. Who do you like?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i like the bay area teams. they havent done very well recently. the giants were good a few years back.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's cool. Did you know Babe Ruth was caught stealing in game 7 in the 1926 World Series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent the babe didnt look like much of a runner. he could hit, but run? im surprised he tried to steal.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Haha I agree. The Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Cubs won the World Series which is just crazy.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is amazing. the cubs are in the history books. they are history. not much has happened to change their place in the history books<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree. Do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not particularly. they always have a ton of money and can buy the best players. it is hard on the small market teams.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user For sure. Well, it was good talking to you. Have a good day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I will watch it if it is on but I don't follow many teams. Do you know a lot about it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not a lot but a little. Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically eligible to play if they need to?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wouldn't have guessed that. I always thought of the managers as those out of shape guys who yelled at the players.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too. Did you know that baseball is hugely popular in Japan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That I did know. They have some great teams over there. I think they were surprised at how popular it is in america as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes they are which is so strange to me. Did you hear about the guy who found baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Weren't they worth a few million dollars? Could you imagine finding something like that!?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes they were. 3 million to be exact. That would be amazing!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder if there were a lot of Yankee cards in there. They seem to be the powerhouse team of baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They do. Speaking of, in 1973 two Yankees pitchers swapped families permanently!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Um how would that even work? Like they married each others wives and raised the others kids? So strange!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess. I have no idea why they would do that. Bill O'Reilly made up a fake press organization to get Yankee's season tickets while he was in college.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Given the price of yankee tickets that is one way to get in I guess. I wonder if that started his love of news as a career.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's a good question but I also can't believe it worked. Did you know that until their recent win the last time the Cubs won a World Series the Ottoman Empire still existed?!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Makes sense. I might not know a ton about baseball but i know that the cubs are always the underdogs.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Definitely. They were also the first team to win back-to-back world series but then they never won again until the recent win.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You have to wonder why when teams like the yankees win all the time. Is it the money in the team or lack of players? very strange.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user There is no salary cap in baseball and they have all of the money. They should cap it like the NFL does.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That would be a good thing. I think it would increase the excitement of the game because you would have more evenly matched teams.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I agree. They've been among the leaders in attendance since 2011 and you know that's because they always win. I think that would level that out as well.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I sometimes follow baseball. usually around the world series. you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, usually when my home team is doing good.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i find the game to be too slow most of the time. I would prefer to watch the highlights and get the gist.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, they are better to attend in person. Or I should say they used to be better until they jacked the price of a beer up to $12.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do not buy anything at games. i get loaded up before and then partake after. during the game, no.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's probably a good idea. Did you know somebody found $3 mill of baseball cards in their attic?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would love to make such a find. i would sell some of the cards, and keep the rest as an investment.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, me too. They must have been very old cards.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think they were from before 1900. classics. very rare. collectors were probably pretty excited.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user WOW, I wonder if the Honus Wagner card is still the most valuable.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It probably is. i have no idea what its value is, but it has to be one of the most.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it is the most valuable card ever.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is what i heard. i know that cards came with packs of cigarettes. that has changed! LOL<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hilarious! I wonder what it is worth these days?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i have no idea. millions? you got me. some tech billionaire will want the thing and pay a ton.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, that is probably true. Did you know kickball in canada is called soccer baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is a cutesy name. i wonder why they chose that. kickball is better, i think.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, I'm not sure, but it seems hilarious. Well, nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I enjoyed chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Take it easy!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello, are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do not know much about baseball but I have been to a bunch of games, including a few Yankee games. It does have the second highest attendance.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball games are fun to go to but they take a long time. I usually end up walking around the concourse for a couple innings.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never knew why baseball managers wore uniforms. I thought it was just to blend in with the team and support the team. Ends up they are able to play if the need arises.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Looking at some of the managers today I think it's more of a tradition now. I know in the past there were a few times where there were actual player/coaches. I believe Ted Williams was one.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I found it very surprising that a married couple had been scheduling all 2430 major league baseball games up until 2005. I figured it was just a computer.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Baseball is deep into it's tradition. They probably didn't worry about any form of software until it became too complicated.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You're right. That's probably why baseball cards are so popular too, tradition. A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in his grandfathers attic.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Also the market was not as saturated back then as it is today, now so many different companies make cards that there isn't a chance for them to be as rare.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I never knew that is why the old ones are so valuable. I thought it was simply the popularity of the player. In Japan baseball is so popular fans do not realize it is actually America's pastime. I wonder what their baseball cards go for.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It's interesting when a Japanese player wants to play in the MLB. The team gets money for that player leaving.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I did not know that. In Canada kickball is called soccer-baseball. Odd how a different country views baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if they have any different rules than we do? It would be interesting to see if they put their own twist on the game.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent When I think of baseball, I think of countries like Japan and America. I don't really think of Canada and I especially do not think of the Ottoman Empire which were still in existence the last time the Chicago Cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It's also very popular in Latin America. A lot of professional players are from Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is true. I suppose Canada does have influence because in the 1992 world series the US Marine Corps color guard brought in the Canadian flag upside down.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That must have been embarrassing. Hopefully everyone realized it was a mistake!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well if Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 world series with his team down by one run and everyone still loves him then I am sure it is okay about the flag all those years later.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm sure it is since I've never heard it brought up until now.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well thanks so much for chatting to me about baseball. I learned a lot today.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thanks, it was fun chatting with you as well!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello are you a fan of baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello! I like the New York yankee's! how about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not really a fan of baseball personally<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't follow it but I like Baseball! The world series is always exciting! The New York Yankees have a lost player....never found! How odd.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is odd... a man once found some 1900s baseball cards in his granfathers attic and they where worth 3 million bucks<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, lucky! Did you know kickball is considered a type of baseball in Canada? Interesting!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is interesting! Baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans are suprised to know it is considered Americas national pastime<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's funny, it has always been America's favorite pastime! I wonder if they take Baseball as serious as American's do lol, or if they watch the world series as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no clue... so you are a yankees fan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, they are a very interesting team. Way back in 73 2 of the Yankees pitchers swapped families, permanently, pretty odd.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is odd.. Bobby Richardson is the only person to win a world series mvp despite losing the series.. I know the Yankees are pretty well known bbut not to much else about baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I don't know many Baseball teams. I do like the world series because it is pretty exciting to watch. Long ago, the women's world cup had higher tv ratings than the world series though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is pretty crazy.. my daughter plays softball so that is interesting to know... the chicago cubs where the first baseball team to win back to back world series and havent won since lol my step dad is a cubs fan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I love softball, I played on a league for a couple of years. So yep I can appreciate baseball because it is much tougher to play. The Cubs, I really don't follow them but I do love our home team too even if they are not so great lol..<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah i dont really pay attention to baseball this is the first year I have somewhat paid attention to football I went to a Cheifs game and it was a pretty awesome experience<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Cool! I haven't been to a Football game before, but have been to a baseball and a basketball and I think it was all pretty fun.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah it is exciting thats for sure<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It really was. Do you know what the Ottoman Empire is? I guess it was still in existence when the cubs last won the World series....not sure what that is though.....<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Im not sure what it is either but I guess that means it was long ago lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha, very true! I didn't know Baseball managers wore uniforms...in case they need to play! Cool<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user that is awesome all part of the team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly! Well, I will continue to follow a little baseball haha, and try and watch the World series as well. You have a great night! Great chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do - it was my favorite sport as a kid. I even knew the married couple who scheduled all 2000+ games every year<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt know about them, I guessed they had a talent for that, can you imagine the time that would take!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes it was a lot of work. I just wish my grandfather had saved baseball cards - one lucky man found 3 million dollars worth of them in his grandfather's attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user 3 million dolars no kidding! that is awesome, what a lucky break he had,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent For sure. Wonder if baseball cards exist in Japan? The game is really popular there as well<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I bet they due, they really love the sport our there, do you have a favorite baseball team? I like the Yankees<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am an Atlanta Braves fan but I could not help but love the Cubs when they finally won the World Series a few years ago<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I bet they were really exited, they could lift that curse finally<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes they won back to back world series and then never won again for years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Babe Ruth was caught stealing a base and then his team lost back in the year 1926<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah talk about blowing the world series for your team - in game 7 even!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know right, he still was considered a legend, things could have turn out differently if he didnt had the guts to steal that base<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. baseball is not as popular as it once was though - the womens world cup had higher tv ratings than the world series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It did? Wow, that is suprising, womans sports usually dont get support at all<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes as little as foreign sports! During the 92 series the us marines carried the canada flag into the stadium upside down!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder why, do you know the reason for that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent An accident I think! They were clueless. I hate the Yankees because they win so much. Do you like them?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like them yeah lol, did you know theres a Lost Yankees player!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent How did they lose him? I knew that two Yankee pitchers swapped families permanently. Not sure what was up with that!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is werid, I can undertand if it was a temporary thing but making it permanent, wow, I bet they hated their families<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi! I recently learned that baseball managers are required to wear uniforms as well because they have to technically play should there be a need. So that must mean, they must stay in shape too right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that is interesting, do you think they ever played in a game ?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't think so, I don't watch too much baseball and I don't collect cards either, but I might reconsider seeing how valuable they are when a man found three million dollars worth of cards in his grandfather's attic!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I had heard about that, imagine being set for life overnight like that!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user How would you sell it? I imagine the buyers would be a small population.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I suppose so, do you think he took a loss in value trying to sell them for what he could get?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think I would and I wonder if he knew the value when he sold them. If he didn't that would be very painful.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That really would be sad if someone exploited him<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Do you have a favorite baseball team? Mine is the Yankees.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not too into baseball, but who is the "lost" yankees player?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah that's a little frightening and do they mean "lost" as in lost his way because of the fame or "lost" as in missing?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am not sure, I just know there is a lost one. I heard once they suspended mattingly because he would not get a haircut<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user The players to don a certain haircut? That's pretty strict! I wonder whether or not people still try to sneak into those games like what Bill O' Reilly did with the fake press pass. That's pretty smart since computers and photoshop didn't seem to be too popular back then.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is true, you can get away with a lot back then, now we know too much!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, have you ever been to a live game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent i have not, I know it is America's pastime though!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would argue that it was football! I didn't know there was a women's world cup has well and it even had higher television ratings than the world series!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would as well, but apparently it is very popular in japan as well!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder when they carried the flag upside down in the 1992 world series, whether or not that was the doing of Japan.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe it is because it was the canadian flag?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh it was the Canadian flag! What was the Marine Corps doing carrying around the Canadian flag instead of the US flag?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe they carried both, I am not sure!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I see, well it was great chatting with you! Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hey there what do you know about baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know that it is a sport, played with a ball called a baseball. There are bases, and players, and bats. And hot dogs and popcorn.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user haha hot dogs sound good! and yes the objective is to hit the ball and run around the bases to get to home plate<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is one of the few sports in which the player scores points, not a ball or puck.I wonder how much each baseball costs to make.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user thats a good question, but you could buy a lot fo baseballs if you found millions of dollars worth of cards in your attic like that one guy<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He must have wondered why his grandfather didn't do anything with them. I would sell some and keep some.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya kind of a bum move to sel all your grandpas cards, especially since theyve been there since 1940<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He might have needed the cash. Did you know that the opposing team receives three bases if a player catches a baseball in their cap? I've never heard that rule.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user wow didn't know that! also didn't know baseball is super popular in Japan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Very popular, but not as good as the US version. Different experience in the stadium as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I've heard that, funny the Japan are surprised that baseball is actually americas pasttime haha<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have something called the Japan series. It doesn't draw the attention of the World Series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user huh I'll look into it, can you believe until 2005 a husband and wife team scheduled all the MLB games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They must have had a computer to help them. All those games? It couldn't be done on paper.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya I agree, like 2500 games to schedule a year, that would get tedius!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder how much they got paid. The Cubs haven't had much luck, have they. They were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series; and haven't won since.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user no you're right, what do you think about the Yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have too much money. In general, there is too much superstition in baseball. Ben Affleck caused the production of Gone Girl to shut down for 4 days because he refused to wear a Yankees cap on screen.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user its funny they started out as the Highlanders but changed their name in 1913<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Yankees is a very American name. Their logo comes from a medal designed for a police officer.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user oh thats cool, wild that they have the 2nd highest attendance in the league!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The Yankees are an institution. They've won the most World Series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ya, and I don'w know but apparently the Yankees "lost" a player somehow, do you know about that?<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How's it going, do you follow baseball much? The Dodgers beat the Braves 6-0 in game 1 of the national league division series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I follow a little. That is exciting for Dodger fans.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea their starter Ryu had a great game pitching 7 innings without a run<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard Maz Muncy had a three-run, second inning blast.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea it's amazing how many home runs were hit last season, with the Yankess setting a record 267 in a season<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Home runs make the game more exciting!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yep, 7 of the playoffs teams in the division round were in the top 10 for Home Runs last season<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is amazing. I just learned that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea I remember Pete Rose played a few games while as a manager<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I have never heard that before. I always thought it was funny to see the managers dressed up.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder if baseball managers in Japan ever play, apparently Japanese fans are surprised to find out baseball is considered America's pasttime<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder why they are surprised by that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess Japan really loves baseball lol, I wonder if they have valuable cards like the one worth 3 million dollars found in a grandfather's attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder if its newly popular or if its been there for awhile.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know, it's funny the ottoman empire was still in existence the last time the Cubs won the World Series<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wish there was a date to reference.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I believe it was 1908 before the Baltimore Orioles moved to NY and were renamed the Yankees<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow! It is funny that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in canada!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Lol, it's pretty funny Bill O'Reilly invented a fake press organization to get free season tickets to the Yankees<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder where the lost yankee player is<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well I got to go, maybe I'll look for him<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, are you a baseball fan? My favorite team is the Yankees, they have been around since 1901<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, Phillies my team. Yankees lost me a bet for a $1 with my grandma when I was very young so I gave up on them. Did you know that Roberto Osuna hasn't pitched since May 6 serving a 75 game suspension<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I knew he was suspended but not for that long,what team is he on now?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I believe the Astros<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh, I knew he was on the blue jays, that's a pretty high risk trade considering Osuna violated the domestic violence policy<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Apparently the Yankees trade with the Reds for Chapman before the 2016 season when Chapman was set to serve a suspension for a domestic abuse incident is similar<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, I remember that, although Chapman is a great closer I wish the Yankees wouldn't of traded for him in 2016 due to his incidents<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It seems risky. But the Astros seemed to want a late-inning reliever badly enough to get Osuna<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, as former world series champions they started to get worried they only had a 4 game lead in their division<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know that a married couple scheduled all the major league games for 24 years up until 2005<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Now but that must of took them a lot of time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent A man found $3 million in baseball cards in his grandfather's attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm surprised they were still in good condition after being hidden since the 1940s<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I wish I found them. Interestingly speaking of baseball it says that in 1973 two yankee pitchers switched families permanently. I wonder what that means?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not sure either, maybe they both divorced their wives and then married them<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent In August 1991 Don Mattingly was actually suspended for not getting a haircut. I wonder if they still enforce that rule?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It's possible, I know they made Johnny Damon cut his hair and shave his beard when he signed with the yankees<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow. Interestingly, the woman's world cup had higher TV ratings than the world series in the U.S. That is cool.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's cool, I think that was the year the US women won the world cup<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent great! The ottoman empire was still around when the Chicago Cubs last won the world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Lol, I think they need to update that fact unless the ottoman empire made a resurgence a couple years ago<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user So how bout them Yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent How are they doing?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user They are perennially amoung the leaders in the MLB attendance and made the post season 2 years in a row<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you believe that Osuna has served a 75 game suspension due to domestic violence<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's crazy, I don't know what the Astro's were thinking taking the trade from the Blue Jays<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I wonder why he's allowed back<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess it's his first offense and they are waiting to find out about his upcoming court hearing<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh. the Astros think Osuna is remorseful and had enough counseling to not harm anyone in baseball I guess<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess they are giving him a "fresh start" which means as long as he plays good we don't care<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He says he won't let them down.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user If they are serious of giving him a fresh start they should wait till next year, he hasn't pitched in the majors since May 6 anyway<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent The trade left the Astros in a sticky situation. All that money invested and what return yet<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I heard the Nationals might trade Bryce Harper, maybe Houston should have tried to get him instead<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They might need him<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He's good but not as good as Aaron Judge though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hopefully Aaron Judge will not be out for more than 3 weeks<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, he's the face of the franchise now since Jeter left<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know the Yankees had been the Highlanders?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea I read about that a long time ago, I didn't remember them starting off as the Baltimore Orioles though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, that is strange and I wouldn't have known that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't know they shared Shea Stadium with the Mets in 1974 and 75 either<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, interesting fact. I never heard that one either<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user What do you think about the Orioles and the signing of Alex Cobb?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent well I think theyre doing what they need to do but I don't know much about baseball, do you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know a bit, I tend to follow some of the games and I think that it was a good call, baseball is an interesting sport indeed, many cool facts about the game<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent oh ya for sure, like how the MLB uses 160k balls in a given year for all their games<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thats a lot of balls, just like a single couple used to schedule all of the 2430 games of the league, seems like a lot of hard work<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent that does seem like a lot of work, did you hear that a 17 year old girl struck out Babe Ruth, I wonder what happened to her<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Really? a 17 year old struck out one of the greatest players of the history of the game!!! thats crazy!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yup, she should have gone pro, do you know what happens if youre in the outfield and catch a ball with your hat in baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, what happens if you do that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent well you apparently get 3 bases, I never knew that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Really? I wonder why it doesnt happen often, I havent seen it, that would be interesting to see though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent nope I think they should do that more, do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think they are a great team, the team has a lot of history for sure, do you like them?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do actually, they win a lot and I like winning teams haha, I guess they were created in 1901<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Its a winning team for sure lol, you know that in 1973 pitchers just swapped families permanently, that seems really odd<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent haha wow that is odd, pretty dumb how Ben Affleck refused to wear a Yankees hat because he was a red sox fan<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It does seem dumb but I guess I can respect that, he must feel identified with his team, you know that a player got suspended because he refused to get a haircut!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent wow that seems dumb! kind of weird that their uniform doesn't put names on the backs, they say it takes away the attention from the team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah so what do you think about the World Series? its been played for more than a hundred years a lot of history there<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent ya I don't watch it but I'm glad its there, I guess its ya been going on since about 1903<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah since the year 1903, its been a long time for sure, the Chicago Cubs were the first team to win it back to back,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yup and then they didn't win it for like 70 years or something, I guess the Dodgers have lost more world series than any other team which also stinks haha<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do like baseball. I can't wait for the season to start. Do you like baseball? Did you know that it evolved from a game in England?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do like the game, yeah, and no I didnt know that, I wonder why its not popular in England then<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't know. Baseball is a form of an old bat and ball game played there back in the mid-18th century. It's weird that it's popular in the US and especially Japan and not there.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is odd, maybe as odd as the managers wearing uniforms in the field,<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've always wondered why they do that. I assume it's to show team membership but I don't really know.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Its because they can also play if they think its the best thing, if the need arises they can step into th field, did you hear about that man that found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his attic<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent So a manager can play? I didn't know that. If we are talking about the same man he found old baseball cards, right?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah he found card that belonged to his grand father, they were just hidden in the attic, crazy luck right!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Definitely! Those cards had been hidden away since the 1940s! I guess the people living there either never went in the attic or never looked around.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So you said you liked baseball so maybe like the Yankees? what are your thought on the team<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I like the Yankees. There's some odd stuff with them though. I mean, did you hear about the two pitchers that swapped families permanently back in 1973?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didnt, why would they do that lol, that is really odd I have to Google that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is really odd but I guess it was the 70s so who knows. I've even heard there is a"lost" yankees player. That is especially odd to me.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user What does that even mean, a ''lost'' Yankees player? can you elaborate more about it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I really can't, sorry. I just heard that one thing, a lost player. No one ever expanded on it to me.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh I see, well nothing Google cant solve then, you know a player got suspended because he refused to take a haircut<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I didn't! What player?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user His name was Don Mattingly, crazy right, that happened back in the year 1991<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You know, I would have thought it would have been much longer ago than that. I guess I just figured there were stricter rules on hair back in the day.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess so, still sounds a bit stupid to suspend a player just because of that, I think he was a key player for the team so yeah.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi there! Are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Not really. I find the sport difficult to watch and slow. What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I like it. I think because it just it's something that always makes me think of warm weather and summer time. Did you know they call kickball soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It is nice to sit outside and watch a baseball game in warm weather. I agree. I didn't know they call kickball "soccer-baseball" in Canada. That is funny.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder why they call it that. I'm always wondered why baseball managers wear uniforms...I guess they can play for their teams if needed. Interesting.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Do you know who the baseball player Angel Hernandez is?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He is actually an umpire. He has a bad reputation for blowing calls.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That's what I heard. And he tried to accuse the Yankees and Joe Torre of discrimination against him. I think being an umpire must be difficult<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wouldn't want to be one. Especially the ref in the NFL who blew that call against the Saints and cost them a chance of going to the super bowl. You'll have to google it if you don't know about it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard about that in the news. Same thing with being a ref in a tennis match or a soccer match. It's a tough job. At least there is video playback. But human error plays a roll always.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It does. Did you know that baseball is really popular in Japan too?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I did. It is popular in South Korea too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user There's been a few Koreans who have played in the MLB. Shin Shoo Choo from the Rangers is from there.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh okay, cool. Do you like watching World Cup soccer?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do. I watch it when I can.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I heard that more people in the US watched Women's World Cup soccer than the World Series, which I find hard to believe. The final games of the Women's World Cup are always very exciting though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I believe it! Soccer is super popular compared to baseball. Speaking of the world series...did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 series. I wonder if he was playing for the Yankees then.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow! Well soccer is an easier game to watch than baseball.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is. More action. I wonder if they have hair length rules in soccer? Don Mattingly of the Yankees once got suspended because he refused to get a haircut. lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't think so in soccer. Many of the men have long hair. Remember Alexi Lalas with the long hair? Speaking of baseball, did you know a female pitched was once booted from MLB for striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user You're right! A lot of them tie their hair back. I didn't know that. How interesting! It's been fun chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Same here! I didn't know there was a female pitcher to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Have a good evening!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm going to have to look that up. You have a good evening too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I love it. Do you know why the managers wear uniforms during games?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes they can play if their teams need them so they need to be ready<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I guess it makes sense that it has elements of both games<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Do you know who used to do the MLB schedule?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes it was a couple that did it for a whole 24 years<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes and they scheduled 2430 games each year<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah amazing. In Japan the sport seems to be really popular<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes so popular that they cannot believe it is a pastime here<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, they must really be into it and appreciate the sport<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah. Do you watch the World Series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I do. Do you know when it started?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes it was back in 1903 so it is already over 100 years old<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah. Did you know the ottoman empire was still around when it started?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes that us pretyy cool. Did you know CUbs won the championship back to back two years?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes and then they went dry for quite a while after that<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes The women's world cup has more viewers than the World Series though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Pretty awesome. Nice chat!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Same here and have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I love baseball. Opening day is only 2 weeks away<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Only 2 weeks away wow I am really exited, I mostly watch the World Series though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well there have been some pretty memorable world series over the years. It was first held in 1903<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow so more than a hundred years since the first game. Did you like Babe Ruth?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I mean, I never saw him play live, but I do think he is one of the best ever.He helped make the Yankees a powerhouse<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah event the bests make mistakes he cost his team the title back in 1926<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, Babe tried to steal second base and it did not work out well<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No it didn't work well at all. The Cubs were the first team to win the WS back to back, I guess that didnt work for them either<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent And that was the last time they won until 2016. Quite the long layoff<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, it seems like the team had a real curse on top of them, the Woman's World Cup had a higher rating that the World Series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well the World Cup does just come around every four years, so I can see how it would be popular on TV<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess that makes sense still World Series is really popular in the states and woman's soccer team arent as popular.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well baseball is not as popular as it was back in the day. Too many things are competing for viewers time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I guess its not, there are a lot of sports out there, I do like the Yankees and the history the team has<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have the most wins in history by a large margin<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you hear about Bill O'Reilly and how he invented a fake press organisation to get season tickets<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent He is a well known yankee fan. I would not put it past him<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Maybe he found another way to get tickets by now and what about Don Mattingly interesting how he got suspended<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have a strict dress and apperance code on the Yankees. He should of gotten a haircut.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah I wouldnt fight against the team and just get one already, anyway its been great chatting with you today.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent You too. Have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Good morning! How are you today? I am sure glad baseball season is back! Are you familiar with the game?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I played when I was younger.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wish I played, but only neighborhood games. Do you follow any baseball now? I find it amusing that MLB team managers wear uniforms because they can play if needed.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I follow the Nationals, what about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I follow the Chicago Cubs. Have you heard about the guy that found the hidden baseball cards?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, apparently they were worth millions of dollars.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes! Hidden away in his grandfathers attic since the 1940's. I wonder if the grandfather forgot them, or hid them so someone would get a big surprise?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm not sure. It has me thinking about the time my mom threw away my card collection.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh, hopefully no good ones. Isn't it funny that soccer-baseball is the name for kickball in Canada.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, that is pretty funny. Is it a big sport up there?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am no sure. I know in Japan baseball is super popular.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've known that for awhile. I'm surprised they don't know it is popular over here though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know! That shocks me too.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Are you a fan of the World Series?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, I am. As a Cubs fan it has been difficult. Prior to the 2016 win the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time they won.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting. Did you know the cubs were the first team to win back to back world series.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes! Did you know Babe Ruth lost game 7 of the WS in 1926.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, he got caught stealing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, and they were already down by one run. I guess someone had to be that guy.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, that sucks. He was a great player too. Well, nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nice chatting with you too!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Did you know the space shuttle's computer only runs on 1mb of ram? That's crazy!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is crazy! my computer has a lot more juice than that, unbelievable how tech advances.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know! I can't imagine not having computers now since we have learned to depend on them so much.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent We sure do, I have an apple computer, I didnt know smoking near it would make my warranty void.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Really? I didn't know that. back in 1936 some russians actually made a computer that ran on water....how strange is that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Really strange, I wonder what happened to that model? maybe water wasnt the best choice.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Right! I don't even know how that would work. Very interesting though, also I read someone built a 16 bit computer using nothing but Minecraft building blocks, so crazy how these people get these idea's.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I know<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user So do you like the piano?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I accidentally hit the enter tab, I was going to say I know, the world is full with creativity, and I do like the piano I like the sound of it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Me too, I did play years ago but not anymore. I love the soothing sound of it. years ago the bbc didn't have any news worth reporting so the just played piano music lol that's awesome.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That odd considering the news giant BBC is today! did you know that Freddy Mercury played the same piano as Paul McCartney<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user My thoughts exactly! Oh wow that's an interesting fact! They built a piano for the Hindenburg and it only weighed over 300 pounds, who would think of putting a piano on that airship!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That takes some useful weight out of the plane, and maybe someone that is a real piano fan, would be nice to listen to it in the sky though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Very true. Piano music is great no matter where you are. It is like poetry to your ears, which I love too. I write some poetry and it's a great stress reliever :)<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do like poetry, do you like the series of Lord of the Rings? most of the hobbits names are actually names of poetry.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh wow I didn't realize that. I think it's crazy that Edgar Allan Poe only got paid 9 bucks for his famous poem The Raven. Not enough people realize how amazing poetry is.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is crazy as its one of the most remembered poems of history, it must be worth millions now a days.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know! A very different time back then. So many types of poetry too, I love it and song lyrics most of the time are like a poem. Love it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, did you know about the poem Demetri Martin wrote?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Is that the palindrome poem? Wasn't it like over 220 words? Amazing!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yeah, it was over 220 words, pretty impressive and actually good.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello! How are you today?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm doing well how about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not too bad either! Do you play any instruments at all?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I do play the guitar. I heard that the piano is an acoustic instrument.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh really? I never knew that! I guess the strings are struck by hammers huh?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I guess so. Do you know who invented the piano?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wasn't in by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 in Italy?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is correct. The piano is being playing using a keyboard that has a row of keys that the pianist presses down to cause the hammers to strike the strings.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That is one interesting fact! You know what is more interesting though, how computers have come about!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree. Computers are more complex than pianos in my opinion because they are devices that carry sequences by computer programming.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well said! I wish I could have used a computer that used water to run it like the Russians did!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Really!! I didn't know that the Russians did this. Do you know who wrote the first computer algorithm?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No I don't! Who was it?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It was by a woman named Ada Lovelace.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Oh cool! I wonder if she wanted to upload her mind to a computer like other transhumanists want to!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wouldn't that be cool Ha!!! Do you know by any chance what was the number one installed piece of software on computers in 1995?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Was it something like Solitaire?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No. It was the video game Doom which I came across this fact very recently.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thanks for that fact! I remember that game, it was so cool haha. It was nice chatting with you though and just remember, smoking near an apple computer voids the warranty haha.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing. It was very nice chatting with you. I hope you have a nice evening. Thanks and bye!!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Thanks you as well!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Do you know anything about the dance program at Duke University?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, I don't really but they recently celebrated the opening of the new Rubenstein arts center.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Who was Duke's first vice Provost for the arts?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Scott Lindroth I believe. I love how they have these applied arts programs to bring them balance and something different and meaningful to them.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I heard that since his time, Duke has grown to have 98 student arts groups.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is really amazing, love this idea. they have so many more classes directed at the arts now more than ever which is awesome.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder how many programs are devoted to the acoustic piano?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I love the piano, but not sure how many programs are devoted to it. by aligning art making with research it makes for a much deeper learning experience though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am a fan too. Odd that the modern piano has been around since roughly 1700!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right! L played years ago, and I also love poetry. Everyone should have a creative side they let out. It is amazing that they found a piano at the top of britains highest mountain....crazy to think how it got up there lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is funny that they test pianos with Circus Galop, a piece no human could play!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hahaha, that is odd! I love researching fun facts on the computer and you can find so much! I use my computer for everything, I write some poetry and save it to my computer.....you could probably find a program to teach you piano on the computer lol.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Perhaps so. It is funny that poetry goes back to prehistorical times, but we still can not teach a computer to compose it well!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly, there will always be a need for human emotion which nothing tech wise could ever do. The Edgar Allan Poe poem, the Raven was fantastic and he was only paid 9 bucks for it. Wow....<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Conversely, something as simple as the Japanese Alphabet, when recited in order is also a poem!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think I read about that while on my computer, and that is amazing actually. I will have to look it up I want to see what it is all about!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Did you know that in 1936, Russians made a computer that ran on water!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Really? That is awesome! something else to research on my computer, I love reading cool facts. Almost all of the Hobbit's character names were taken out of an old poem, how funny!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Indeed! I wonder if something similar inspired Demetri Martin's 224 word palmindrome poem.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly! I need to read that poem, must be very good. I am wanting to find that poem that is read normally is found to be depressing but reading it backwards is inspiring! Love that!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am looking for some of the poetry from the pyramid texts!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Oh wow! Now that would be very interesting! I may do that myself as well haha! It has been great chatting with you!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user You too. I enjoyed sharing prosaic writing with you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Good! Did you know Kristen Stewart from the Twilight movies helped author a paper about AI? Not just a pretty face!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Wow, I had no idea! That's pretty cool. Isn't that one lady from Bri bang also like a pHd?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I'm not sure but wouldn't doubt it. Facebook is developing AI designed to better understand emotions, identify objects, and predict user actions. Yikes.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Clifford seems to be a great way to augment teaching. I would like to see a pre and post test with a control group to see how well the AI works.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Interesting. At Stanford they use Google Hangouts to teach AI more effectively.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's interesting. I teach college courses and would love to see how that works. I wonder if the non-for-profit has more info on it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Good question. How about this one -- there's a NASA scientist who believes our world is just a computer generated VR. Maybe he's been watching too much of The Matrix.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's nuts. I sometimes wonder if the ultra-intelligent need things to maintain their sanity...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Haha. Definitely. Overthinking can be a torture, I'm sure. The first Virtual Reality game was created in 1968. How far we've come!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I would love to go on Lockheed Martin's virtual reality tour of mars. seems like it would be a lot of fun.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent It does sound fun. Up to 40% of VR users get motion sickness -- me included. So make sure to take your barf bag if you go, just in case.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I never thought of that impact on people. Have you ever gone on 4D rides at like disney? They move and shake but then they also spray water on you for when you go through water tunnels or something like that. Pretty fun.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, I took my daughter on the Stitch ride and she FREAKED OUT! She thought it was real. I felt so bad. But that's proof that 4D can ramp up the experience.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user HA! How old is she? My 7 year old went on a roller coaster for the first time and freak out until the end and then I could not get him off the rides.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent She was 11. But she has a really active imaginations and she loves Stitch -- so I think a part of her wanted it to be real. Wonder how she would do on that Lockheed Martin VR space bus you mentioned earlier?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I am sure she would do great! Are you on Facebook?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I'm on FB. Used to be on MySpace too, which offered to buy FB for $75 M in 2005. That would have been the buy of the century.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I know! Wht dopes! Like Iceland rewritting its constituion using ti.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent There's a German state where it's illegal to use the "like" button on Facebook. Wonder what's that all about?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hello - did you know MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for 75 million in 2005?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hi, Are you a registered user of Facebook?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes I am, what about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes. I am thinking of joining the QuitFacebook movement though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I'm not a huge fan of Facebook. I rarely use it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you invest in the company at the IPO in 2012?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I did not. What about you?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No, but it would be worth a lot of money today if you had.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It would be a big investment. Did you know the Facebook like button is illegal in one of the German states?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I did not. WHy is there not a "dislike" button<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user lol not sure<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They make most of their money off of ads<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea they make a lot off of ads. I saw that Facebook is blue because Mark Zuckerburg is red-green blind.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, that is weird. I know how you can get a free whopper from BK<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user How can you get a free whopper?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent If you unfriend 10 people on facebook<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's pretty crazy and cool.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I am thinking about going back to MySPace and deleting Facebook<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't even know MySpace was still around. I would like to do that as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I want to read the Icelandic Constituion on there first<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know much about that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Time to check my posts on Facebook.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user When I previously thought of virtual reality I thought of gaming, but have you heard about its uses in the educational revolution?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello there, same here, no I haven't seen too much about the educational side though.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Through virtual reality, children will be able to attend virtual schools and learn how they want. Through their tablets or visually.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is really cool, I guess they can get access to things and places that they never would have been able to before.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, for example if they want to learn visually they can use the headsets to travel to ancient Egypt and watch the pyramids get built!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, that is even cool for me and i'm an adult!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is. It is becoming a lot more affordable too. It used to be over $1000, but in two or three years should be less than $100.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think you are right, I think more schools will have these in the coming years as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, and can even use them at home to educate. The program will allow the parents to keep tabs on their children to see how they are doing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent And I think all of those safety features for parents are a must with all technology these days!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, safety and affordability. With a lot of companies like Google, Lenovo, Magic Leap, and Facebook involved you know there will be an affordable and great product.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah and I think there will be profitable business there as well so its win win for those companies as well.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, agreed. You even have a company like Lockheed Martin that can take kids on a virtual reality tour of Mars!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, now wouldn't that be something. I wonder if they will be able to do that with planets further out in the future?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user With all of those companies and a company like Facebook worth over $100 billion I am sure they sky the is the limit.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Exactly. Do you use Facebook much?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I do. I cannot believe in 2005 that Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right! That would have been one of those deals of a lifetime, but mistakes happen.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It is impressive how huge it has become. In fact, Iceland is literally rewriting their constitution using Facebook. They allow the public to chime in with suggestions! Wild!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I saw that, very interesting. But, it makes sense though, let the people help control how the government operates, not the other way around.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, basically the opposite of the German state Schleswig-Holstein where the "like" button is illegal.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent That is hilarious, I wonder if you went back in time and told people 30 years ago about that, what they would say? Anyways, it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Hi! Are you a facebook user?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, I do use it, but mostly for the games app's social part. I'd rather play a game. I've heard the Virtual Reality video games are pretty cool. Would you try?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I think I would try it to see what it was like.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I've seen lots of examples on Facebook of people playing a VR game and getting terrified or surprised. It looks like a lot of fun!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder how much the headsets cost for it? The fist virtual reality game was made in 1968. I had no idea they were around then.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I thought I've heard that VR has been used for training soldiers, so I wonder if it could have been around for even longer than 1968, but kept secret!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Quite possible. I read where 40 percent of users experience motion sickness in virtual reality.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Well, that part doesn't sound very fun. Did you know there is a NASA scientist who genuinely believes we're living in a reality generated by a computer? Or maybe multiple computers...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't know that. I know that Lockheed Martin has a virtual reality "Mars bus" that can take kids on a tour of Mars. That would be neat.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, I was excited when I heard a company was starting art buses to park in lots of shopping centers to look after kids while parents shop. I can't even imagine how great a VR Mars tour bus would be!!!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Hahaha Do you know anyone that has the Oculus Rift VR headset that Facebook released?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I don't, but I'd love to try it. I am really interested in those augmented reality systems that area a type of VR. I had an idea for those Google glasses before they came out, even!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Nice! Stanford's free artificial intelligence class uses Google plus hangouts to help them teach more effectively. What do you think of AI? It kind of scares me. lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Meant to say augmented reality. I think it's strange how Tesler's Theorem for AI is whatever hasn't been done yet. Does that mean he wouldn't call the VR games AI?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have no idea. Good question. AI has crushed all human records in the puzzle game "2048". I haven't heard of that game.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I haven't heard of that game, either. There's a game I play where you get better by doing daily tasks. I should make an AI device to do it for me!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user lol Nice! Did you hear about the promotion that Burger King ran where if you were to unfriend 10 people on Facebook they would give you a free whopper? I would have taken them up on that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think there were probably people catching on and adding 10 random people just to unfriend, though! Can you believe that in a part of Germany the Facebook like button is illegal?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder why? I'm going to have to look that up. I wonder what Myspace thinks of passing up on the chance to buy Facebook for $75 million in 2005? Is Myspace even still around?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think MySpace is around but everyone uses Facebook instead. I think Facebook is worth hundreds of billions today.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user In 2012 when they had their IPO they were valued at $104 billion then. So you are right. I'm sure it's more than that now. It's been fun chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user How's it going? Do you know much about VR? Looks like it is not meeting it's potential as an educational tool<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello there, I know just a little bit, I heard that is true though, that they don't really have the ability to customize the material to the individual or coach.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That seems odd and something that would be easy to fix if the effort was put in. Learning history and geography seems like a perfect fit for VR<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I think you are right, especially for those children that are strong visual learners.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user VR does sound like a great tool for those who struggle with time limits<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I think it has the potential to be. Do you know much about AI?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Not much except for what's in pop culture, I definitely couldn't explain Tesler's Theorem that well<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I think I'm about the same, I know IBM's Watson is very helpful in the medical field.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea I've heard of Watson and a little about Stanford's ai class which I might have to take a look at when I got the time<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did you know the actress Kristen Stewart co-authored a paper on AI?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No, I had no clue. I don't know if I'm more surprised of that or the first vr game being made in 1968<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Holy cow, I never would have guessed that about VR. Did you know doctors are using it to treat phobias?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, I've heard of that, very cool. Lockheed Martin uses VR to tour Mars which is pretty cool also<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Wow, that would be pretty cool to try, I wonder what you have to do to be a part of that?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I don't know, maybe be in a smart class or just be in a school that is nearby a Lockheed Martin facility<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah you are probably right. On a different note, are you a user of Facebook?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yea, I think I started using it in 2006, two years after it was first founded by Zuckerberg and his Harvard classmates<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah I think I am the same, I'm pretty sure my roommate in college set one up for me in 2005.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I use to like myspace a lot better in high school, Tom must be kicking himself for not buying facebook in 2005<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah think about how much money was lost not buying it way back then. I think I set up a Myspace account but never used it.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Well FB is valued at 104 billion right now but it would probably be worth a lot less if myspace did buy it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah that is true, but I'm willing to bet it would be worth more than Myspace currently is. Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user hello<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hello how are you doing? Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for $75 million in early 2005<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user i bet whoever was in charge regrets the hell out of it<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right! Missed opportunity! Facebook's "like" button is illegal in the german state of schleswig-holstein.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user i wonder exactly what is so bad about it. The King of Pop started his solo career in 1971.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah i know right. Why are they so against the thumbs up. Freddie mercury cancelled a duet with michael jackson in the 1980s<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Freddy's vocals would've destroyed jacksons. also - a llama, really dude?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent hahaha well MJ is really weird. Maybe it gives him inspiration! Michael jackson wanted to build a 50 foot robot of himself to roam the nevada desert.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user only thing i have in common with the dude is being a massive simpsons fan. if i ran into that robot i would think i was tripping<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Did he have a music video of him being this large silver man or something? lol Thats awesome that Michael was a simpsons fan! I need to start watching it again.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user you know, im not sure.....yeah! same here. havent really watched it much lately. taylor switf removed her music from spotify but kept it on pandora. think it was the money?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Maybe. This is a ton of money Aloe blacc only received $12k in royalties from pandora for 168 million streams<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user seems like someone got robbed. pandora makes 274 million in revenue<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent This is amazing, I love listening to stand up Pandora now streams stand up comedy in addition to music.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user woah - i had no idea. pandora is powered by the music genome project. ever heard of it? i havent<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent No I havent.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user an effort to capture the essesne of music at the most fundamental level. i wonder what else they do.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yeah me too. On September 24, 2018, Sirius XM Holdings announced its intent to acquire Pandora for $3.5 billion.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Burger king had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people on facebook you get a free whopper. LOL i couldve had whoppers for daaaaayyyys<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent haha what is the price of friendship??? whoppers!<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user ahaha, we can be real life friends eating whoppers.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent right!! nice talking to you. have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user Are you on Facebook by any chance?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent yes , I found it interesting that mark zukerburg suffers from colorblindness<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I was not aware of that. Facebook debuted in 2004. I was not aware it had been so long. It makes me wonder how long I was on MySpace before that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I agree, I wonder why burger king wanted people to unfriend others<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I was not aware that they did. That's very strange. You'd think they'd rather advertise on the site since so many people are on there. Facebook makes most of it's revenue from advertisements.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I understand that to be true also. I cant believe Iceland is using Facebook to rewrite their Constitution<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That seems like a bad idea. People don't think before they type on Facebook and they're willing to be more ridiculous because they are behind a keyboard.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Agreed. I have alsways really liked Micheal Jackson, and I knew he did work on the Simpsons<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I have mixed feelings about him. As a pop star he was amazing, his personal life not so much. My understanding is that Freddie Mercury cancelled a duet with him because he insisted on bringing his llama to the studio.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I understand the feelings, would have loved to see the 50 foot robot though<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user He had some very out there ideas. I did know that Eddie Van Halen Played the guitar solo in Beat It free of charge.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I did not know that either. and that Micheal helped write the soundtrack to sonic 3<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That seems very odd to me. Thinking back to the Sonic games they do not have music that I would have thought a high profile musician made.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would agree with that, but still good music. I knoew taylor swift removed her music from spotify but not pandora<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I wonder why? I use Pandora a lot. I often have it on when I exercise. They have a net income of $-16 million despite having $274 million in revenue. I really think they need to look into their overhead cost.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I would agree. I know she didnt like how they pay artist. I did not know they were streaming comedy also<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user I didn't either. I have never tried to use it for that. I use Podcast apps for that purpose. I'll have to look into that.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent They have plenty of streams at 168 million steams for Aloe Blacc<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's a huge amount of streams. I did not realize until recently that Pandora was only available in the United States. I find that surprising.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent me too I found the music genome project interesting to learn about also<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Algorithms are always interesting to me.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user I guess a disabled student who won a case against a TX school died recently. Her name is Amber Tatro.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah, thats sad. Do you used facebook?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yes, but I'm not addicted... It was a tough SC case. I'm not sure I agree that schools should have to perform medical procedure. They are school not a hospital.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes I agree, unless they have medical training.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user It was all kinds of things with her... Infections, injections, etc... The school would need a team. She got a standing ovation when she graduated.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Right. That is pretty amazing.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Facebook... It seems to have many uses. Iceland is using to rewrite their constitution. What do you use it for?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I use it for keeping in touch with people, seeing what people are up to and news. How about yourself?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user That's the same with me. I comment very little. I didn't realize Facebook is blue because Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Me either. I just recently saw the movie the social network, its about facebooks start.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, kids from Harvard -- wasn't it a student post board? Myspace could have bought it for penny's...<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yeah something like that. I know right, that was a huge mis opportunity on their part.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah. Why would Burger King have a promotion to encourage others to unfriend others? They offered a free Whopper to unfriend 10 people.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent I dont know the reasoning behind it, but I wouldnt mind a free whopper lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, that made me a little hungry. Did you like Michael Jackson?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, love the king of pop. You?<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user yeah, he was a talent for sure. I can't believe he wanted to develop a 50 foot robot to roam the desert around Vegas.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Hes always been a little different lol Did you hear freddie mercury cancelled a det with mj because he wanted a llama in the studio? lol<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user No. I miss Freddie too... strange reason to cancel... Do you listen to Pandora Radio? The have comedian now.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>agent Yes, love pandora, I do listen to their comedy on road trips and long drives.<end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>user Yeah, ZM radio is cool too. Thanks for the chat, you were great!<end_of_turn>
