I grew up in the city.
My favorite drink is iced tea.
I love visiting the zoo.
I have one cat that just had a kitten.
I just got a new hair cut and color.

I like dogs.
I live on a farm.
I work for the computer industry.
I love my job.
I have three kids.

My favorite thing to do is to visit the zoo.

I grew up in the city.

My cat just had a kitten.

I love iced tea.

My hair is cut and colored black.

I am a simple guy. I have not been to a zoo before.

I live in a rural area with my three kids and dogs.

I like dogs more. I work in an industry where cats are a great asset.

I don't drink iced tea because it could spill onto my equipment.

My hair color is natural human brown. I am proud of my hair color.

[Speaker 1] Hi im rob one of my favorite things is to visit a zoo.

[Speaker 2] Hello, rob, I am just a simple guy, I haven't been to a zoo.

[Speaker 1] Did you grow up in the city? Im from the city.

[Speaker 2] I actually live in a rural area with my three kids, and my dogs.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I have a cat that just had a kitten.

[Speaker 2] I very much prefer dogs, but cats are a great asset to the industry I work in.

[Speaker 1] Do you drink iced tea? I love iced tea.

[Speaker 2] I don't drink iced tea, it could spill and short circuit my equipment.

[Speaker 1] What color hair do you have I just cut and colored my hair black.

[Speaker 2] My hair color is natural human brown, and I take pride in that.

[Speaker 1] What do you do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I don't have much free time being owning a farm and running a computer business.

I grew up in the city.

My cat just had a kitten.

I love iced tea.

My hair is cut and colored black.

[Speaker 1] You wouldn't believe what my new kitten did the other day. I have to tell you.

[Speaker 2] What did that little fur ball do?

[Speaker 1] We were watching a show on tv. She kept hopping up and trying to get the birds on the screen. It was so funny!

[Speaker 2] LOL! I bet her size make it even funnier. When my dogs try to catch something out of the TV, it looks more dangerous than funny. No cuteness whatsoever.

[Speaker 1] haha I hope they don't break your tv! That's not something you have to worry about with cats.

[Speaker 2] I mount our TV on the wall up high since the previous TV already fell victim for that. By the way, I thought cats have lots of kitten at once, how come yours only got one?

[Speaker 1] Oh, she did have more than one, but the rest were given away to family and friends. I just kept the one.

[Speaker 2] Ah, got it. I do hear taking care of little ones can be very exhausting. I got all my dogs after they pass their high-maintenance period.

[Speaker 1] I love kittens, but they're a lot of work. Also, they're so small, they can easily get under and behind things and get stuck. I just don't have the time for more than my cat and her one kitten at the moment.

[Speaker 2] True, kitten are too small, too many hazards around the house. My daughter like cats a lot and keep asking for a kitten. I'm afraid that a kitten will not survive a house with three kids and dogs.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, you'd have to maybe keep it in one room that can be closed off until it gets bigger. That's what I'm doing now. When I'm not home, the mama and baby stay in my den. When I come home, I let them out. It keeps them out of trouble.

[Speaker 2] I will wait until my daughter is older. She's just 7 now. Getting another pet will make my wife hate me since she ended up taking care all of them, my kids only want to play.

I grew up in the city.

I love iced tea.

My hair is cut and colored black.

My cat had more than one kitten. I gave them all away except for one. I love kittens. I think they are a lot of work. I don't have time for more cats than I have. I keep the kitten closed off in one room while I am gone until she gets bigger.

I got my dogs after they were full grown. My daughter wants a kitten but I am afraid a kitten will not survive with dogs and children. I will let my daughter get a kitten when she gets older and more responsible.

[Speaker 1] What kind of things do you grow on your farm?

[Speaker 2] For selling we grow corn. We have a home garden for eating like tomatoes, peepers, squash and cucumbers.

[Speaker 1] that's amazing! and probably such hard work. do you have to be up early every morning to tend to the crops?

[Speaker 2] corn is easy to grow. at first it is hard work to get the fields ready by tilling and planting then you wait until you have to harvest it which is hard work.

[Speaker 1] I bet. Do you do it all on your own or does your family help?

[Speaker 2] it is a family farm. My father does most of the farming. My main job is I run a computer business.

[Speaker 1] that's pretty cool. how did your dad feel about you leaving the family business?

[Speaker 2] Nowadays the old time farmers are glad their kids are not farming. Farming is a lot of work with little money to show for.

[Speaker 1] and it's hard on the body, too. injuries and strain. dp you ever wish you made a different choice?

[Speaker 2] That is why i started my own computer business. But I do help with the farm when needed.

[Speaker 1] What sorts of computer work do you do?

[Speaker 2] It is related to farming. We provide computer services  to local farmers. I guess I cannot completely get away from farming afterall.

I grew up in the city.

I love iced tea.

My hair is cut and colored black.

I own a farm and run a computer business. I help with the farm. I provide computer services to farmers.

[Speaker 1] I just got a job offer.

[Speaker 2] Congratulations, that's good news! When are you going to start?

[Speaker 1] In two weeks. Pretty excited about it, although the change is a little stressful. How is your garden doing?

[Speaker 2] That's normal, don't worry too much about the transition. My home garden is doing really well, the cucumbers are growing and I am also trying to grow some herbs as well.

[Speaker 1] I am envious of your garden. Every time I try to grow tomatoes they don't do so well, although I can grow radishes really well. As soon as I get settled into the new job I will be fine, its the before that stresses me out a little :)

[Speaker 2] My father does all the soil mixing for the home garden. I didn't learn from him exactly what's in the soil mix. Maybe I can get some tips from him on how to grow tomatoes. I haven't seen the tomatoes yet so far in the garden because we just put the seed in not too long ago.

[Speaker 1] I would love to learn more about soil mix. I only have basic gardening skills, but I really enjoy it. I keep telling myself to invest more time growing my own food. What else do you grow in your garden?

[Speaker 2] My daughter loves squash, so we have that going as well. I'm busy with the computer business nowadays, I just help my dad out once in a while in the garden. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 1] Oh I love squash as well, especially in a nice creamy soup. No kids, just a bunch of cats, which makes me sound like a crazy cat lady, but I do adore them all. How are your dogs?

[Speaker 2] Not crazy at all, everyone has their own preference--dogs or cats. One of my dogs recently bit the other one in the face while playing, I have to bring him to the vet to get it checked out tomorrow. I hope there is no serious injury there, at least I am not seeing any visible ones.

[Speaker 1] Oh sorry to hear that. It's always so hard with animals since they can't talk, its always sort of a guessing game on how they feel. I am always worried the cats will go a step to far when they play. Those nails are sharp. Are the dogs good with the kids?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, but they are not aggressive at all, just too excited while playing and exerted too much energy there. The dogs are very gentle with the kids. My dad trained the dogs really well when we got them.

I grew up in the city.

My cat just had a kitten. My kitten is funny. She was trying to catch birds on the television. I don't have kids.

I love iced tea.

My hair is cut and colored black.

I think cats are less dangerous than dogs. I worry my cats will hurt each other while playing.

I got a job offer. My new job starts in two weeks.

I have never had any luck growing tomatoes. I grow radishes really well. Change stresses me out a little until it settles in. I only have basic gardening skills. I really enjoy gardening. I would like to grow my own food.

I love creamy squash soup.

I have 2 dogs. My dogs are much bigger than a kitten. I think their play looks more dangerous than funny. My dogs ones broke my TV. I mount my TN high on the wall now.

I grow corn and have a home garden. My father does most of the farming and I run a computer business. I like to garden. I have cucumbers and herbs. I am growing squash.

I did not learn from my father exactly what's in the soil mix. I planted tomato seeds but the plants haven't started yet. My father might have some tips on growing tomatoes.

My dogs are very gentle with kids. My dogs are very well trained.

[Speaker 1] how's the garden going?. has work at the computer business been busy?

[Speaker 2] Really busy! Farmers tend to wait until everything is busted before they call me, and summer months are huge for them. The garden is great, I've been feasting on corn and cucumbers. Can't wait until the squash comes in.

[Speaker 1] Yeah.  It seems like most customers wait to the last minute.  Any good recipes you plan on when the squash comes in?

[Speaker 2] Probably just roasted with some fish or something light...although I have my grandmother's succotash recipe. How do you like your squash?

[Speaker 1] I like it more now then used to.  I just never had it in the right dishes.  Seems like yours would taste good.

[Speaker 2] Do you want me to save you some seeds for when get to eating the squash? They're really easy to grow and I think you'd enjoy eating them.

[Speaker 1] Yes. Thanks. Now that I got may garden going it would be good to have some variety.  By the way what other things do you suggest I grow.  You're the farming expert!

[Speaker 2] It might be a little late for tomatoes, but how about some herbs? Mint grows like crazy, you have to keep it in a container or it'll take over your entire garden!

[Speaker 1] Mint sounds like a great idea.  Herbs in general seems like what I should look into.  Thanks!

[Speaker 2] Might want to get planting soon, when you start your new job you won't have as much time to spend in the garden

[Speaker 1] You're so right. I got about two weeks to go.  Hopefully I will get acclimated quick and it won't take over my life for long. I love my hobbies.

[Speaker 2] If you had to rank them, which hobby do you love the most and which do you love the least?

[Speaker 1] Originally india, but my family came to the us when I was a teen.

[Speaker 2] Ahh thats cool, my parents and I are from alaska but now we live in minnesota.

[Speaker 1] Anything interesting to do there?

[Speaker 2] It's beautiful so definitely, but you have to be prepped for the cold. No shorts.

[Speaker 1] Aw man, I would do horrible there then. Have any interesting hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy grilling. I really like steaks and burgers. Yourself?

[Speaker 1] When I can I cook, and I love making new dishes. What a coincidence!

I am from Alaska. I live in Minnesota.

I am a coder.

[Speaker 1] What do you write code for?

[Speaker 2] I'm a math major. I write codes for math functions as a hobby to be submitted to Mathematica.

[Speaker 1] That's pretty cool! What an interesting job. I work as a chef in a restaurant.

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't call that a job, won't pay my rent, more like for a sense of accomplishment. What restaurant are you working at?

[Speaker 1] It's a small, family-owned restaurant. More like a diner. The food is great and seeing regular customers is fun.

[Speaker 2] What state are you at? I should go visit your restaurant sometime.

[Speaker 1] I'm in central New York. Come on over! We have good, homestyle food.

[Speaker 2] I will visit when I go to New York next time! I was afraid it will be further south since you said you hate the cold. How are you coping with NY winter?

[Speaker 1] Eh, the winter's are pretty bad. I wasn't prepared for that at all. I turn the heat up and have a lot of blankets. I mostly go outside for work and food. haha

[Speaker 2] I cannot relate to that but I can understand a little. My friend from Indonesia came to visit me last winter and she kept wearing 5 layers of clothing every time we go outside.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that sounds like me in the winter. I have a lot of hoodies. haha The summers here are nice, though! There are a lot of interesting places to go.

[Speaker 2] Any recommendation for places to visit in NY? I prefer places close to nature so I have no idea where to go when visiting big city like NY.

I play tennis.

I like cooking. I am employed as a chef at a family-owned diner. I enjoy the reguolar customers that come in.

I live in central New York. I hate cold weather.

I own many hoodies. I like summertime in NY.

I enjoy running.

I am from Alaska. I live in Minnesota.

I am a coder. I am a math major. I write math function computer code for Mathematica.

I have a friend who lives in Indonesia. She came to visit me recently.

I enjoy nature spots.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite nature place to go?

[Speaker 2] My favorite nature spot is the Smokey Mountains.  They are about 5 hours from me and I go 3-4 times a year.  Its so beautiful.  Have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] that sounds lovely. I haven't been! I live across the country but would love to go someday. Which states are the Smokeys in?

[Speaker 2] They run through TN and NC.  Absolutely breathtaking views, I highly recommend a visit if you ever get the chance.  What nature spots do you enjoy?

[Speaker 1] Will do! I love the Catskills here in NY, and also the Delaware Water Gap. Both are great for hiking in the summer. Have you ever been to the east coast?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I went to college in Philadelphia!  I visited the Poconos one winter.

[Speaker 1] that's so cool! that's right near where I grew up. it's pretty. Did you go to Temple for college?

[Speaker 2] No I went to LaSalle.  But I have a relative that works at Temple!

[Speaker 1] ah that's cool; my cousin is attending temple now! Lasalle is a great school too. Did you enjoy your college years there?

[Speaker 2] Yes I really did. Philadelphia is a far cry from what I am used to so it was a bit of culture shock but I adapted well and loved it.  I've been back to visit several times.

[Speaker 1] It's a cool city. But the midwest is very different! I worked in Michigan for awhile and it felt very different from NY or PA

[Speaker 2] Yes its crazy how different areas can be, like youre in a whole different world!

I play tennis.

I have never been to he Smokey Mountains. I live across the country from them. I would like to go there.

I love the Catskills and the Delaware Water Gap. I grew up near the Poconos.

I have a cousin attending Temple. I think Philadelphia is a cool city. I worked in Michigan for awhile.

I enjoy running.

I am from Alaska. I live in Minnesota.

My favorite nature spot is the Smokey Mountains. I live 5 hours from the Smokey Mountains. I go there 3 or 4 times per year.

I went to college in Philadelphia. I visited the Poconos one winter. I went to LaSalle for college. I have a relative that works at Temple University. I found Philadelphia to be a bit of a culture shock, but I adapted and love it now. I have been to visit it several times.

[Speaker 1] My family is thinking of opening a second diner and having me run it! I would miss my regular customers but it would be an amazing challenge.

[Speaker 2] No way! That sounds like an amazing opportunity. Where would the new diner be located?

[Speaker 1] A little bit to the North from the first one, it seems a good location, near a highway.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am sure that location will attract a lot of business. Will it be an exact replica of the existing diner, as in same name and same menu, etc.?

[Speaker 1] We are trying the same thing so there will be savings, I think it is optimal, but I did not write the cost function to optimize it. Maybe you could help me ?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I would love to. Maybe I can make a trip out to the existing diner to also get a feel for the business...but mainly to try the food!

[Speaker 1] There will be lots of free food when  we will test our ovens and fryers. Do you want to come ?

[Speaker 2] I thought you would never ask! What would you say is the most delicious item on your menu?

[Speaker 1] We make our own chicken nuggets, with chicken thighs so they are juicy. It is the most popular dish. I could make a chicken burger  out if it ,just for you.

[Speaker 2] Just for me? I would be honored! I love a good french fry too, I bet you do those really well!

[Speaker 1] That is why we have a big fryers, goods fries are very popular and easy to make. They go very well with our steaks since we fry them in beef fat.

[Speaker 2] Wow! It doesn't sound the healthiest, but good for a treat every now and then. I cannot wait! When should I make the trip out to see you?

I play tennis.

I like the location of the new diner. I need help developing the business plan.

I enjoy running.

I am from Alaska. I live in Minnesota.

I know how to run business/restaurants.

I would like to trial food from new places.  I enjoy eating. I like greasy food.

I have a busy schedule so I like to plan ahead and be organized.

[Speaker 1] We got the final permits for the new diner and I have a contact for refurbished kitchen equipment!

[Speaker 2] That's fantastic! Congrats!! How soon is everything going to be set up?

[Speaker 1] It will be a little bit before the equipment can be delivered and then I have to order the food and train workers, so it might be a while yet.

[Speaker 2] Still, that's still amazing. Do you know what item you want to add to you rmenu?

[Speaker 1] I think I'm going to do Southern/LowCountry food. It's my favorite! What kid of a restaurant would you pick if you were going to open one?

[Speaker 2] That sound delicious. Have you been cooking up a storm figuring out recipes? And probably something related to grills. I love grilled anything.

[Speaker 1] I have! Lots and lots of cooking. Not as much in the past lil bit though because it's so hot, even with air conditioning.

[Speaker 2] Oh man I get that. The heat can be unbearable in the kitchen. If you ever need a taste tester, I'm your person :) Are you opening the resturant on your own or do you have a partner?

[Speaker 1] No, it's just me. I have control issues - I don't want to have to wait for someone else's input if I need to make a decision. More work in the beginning, but more reward if it pays off.

[Speaker 2] Wow that must be tuff. But hey you have experience, so you'll do great! That is so true, more work than play definitely pays off in the long run.

[Speaker 1] Well, let's hope. Something like 9 of every 10 new restaurants fail within a year, so it's a risk. Do you like Southern food?

[Speaker 2] I didn't know that, best of luck, though hard work is more important :) I grew up in the north so I haven't been exposed to a lot of Southern food. I'll drop by your restaurant whenever you open.

[Speaker 2] Yes, especially when ive had some dairy.

I like movies.

I have two daughters.

I majored in Psychology in college.

I like running.

[Speaker 1] Do you listen to music when you run?

[Speaker 2] Yes!  Usually EDM or Metal.  Something fast to motivate me!

[Speaker 1] I love both styles of music too! That's why I can never get into yoga. The music is too tranquil and boring. I need something fast when I run. How far do you normally run?

[Speaker 2] totally agree sitting still that long with that music makes it feel like forever.  I try and do 2-3 miles a day.  How for do you normally run?

[Speaker 1] I normally am happy if I can get one mile in, but it's so hard with taking care of all the people in my house! I really like running outside too, not a treadmill. Do you go the gym much?

[Speaker 2] I dont go to the gym ever, its too far away and I cant ruin with my dog.  Does your sister watch your kids when you run?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, actually she does. She's really good with them. I try to get my kids involved but they hate running. Does you dog like going for runs then?

[Speaker 2] He loves them, but the 1st quarter mile he has to mark everything  after that he is fine

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! At least he gets with the program eventually. What kind of dog is he? What's his name?

[Speaker 2] His name is bently and he is a lab pit mix.  the sweetest dog!

[Speaker 1] He sounds like a great dog! I have thought about getting a dog for the kids, but don't know if I'd have the time to take care of everything I need too. I know they would love it though. Do you get him from a shelter?

[Speaker 2] no, a friend had puppies that she was giving away so we lucked into it.

I'm 40 years old. I am a single mom. I live with my sister. I live with two children, a son and a daughter. My sister watches my children for me.

I am a landlord. My tenants pay me on time. I take care of many people in my home.

I've contemplated getting a dog.

I have two daughters.

I majored in Psychology in college.

I like running. I run average 2-3 miles every day.

I have a lab pit mix named Bently. I got him when a friend was giving away puppies. I like to run with my dog. He pees a lot when e first start running.

I avoid the gym because of the distance. The gym doesn't allow dogs.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite Metal tune for motivational purposes?

[Speaker 2] I like ac dc back in black. Do your son and daughter play and sports?

[Speaker 1] Yes my son is playing soccer and my daughter just started gymnastics. Did you go for a run today?

[Speaker 2] I sure did, every day i do about 2-3 miles. What running shoes are your favorite?

[Speaker 1] I have narrow feet so I like Brooks running shoes. What about you?

[Speaker 2] That's very cool, I also only use Brooks. Have you seen any good movies lately?

[Speaker 1] I have not. But I started watching the old TV show Bewitched. Its pretty good so far. Have you seen any good movies lately?

[Speaker 2] I haven't either, but I did watch a good tv show on the plane, it was called Run, it's a HBO show. If you were to get a dog what kind would you get?

[Speaker 1] Probably a golden retriever or a lab. They are such good family dogs. How is Bently doing? Is he running ok in the warmer weather?

[Speaker 2] I love labs. It is tough for Bently in the summer heat. I have to put socks on his feet or else it will burn. Is it hot where you live?

[Speaker 1] Oh poor doggie, but thats a great idea. Yes its been around 100 degrees. My kids are playing in the sprinkler a lot.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's is going to get up to 106 here. Do you have a big lawn for the kids to play in?

I like movies.

I have a son that plays soccer. I have a daughter that does gymnastics.

I have narrow feet. Brooks running shoes are my favorite.

I haven't seen any good movies lately. I am currently watching Bewitched. I enjoy watching Bewitched.

I have considered getting a lab or a golden retriever.

The area where I live is very hot.

I have two daughters.

I majored in Psychology in college.

I like EDM and Metal music. Music motivates me when I run. Brooks are my favorite type of running shoes.

Labs are my favorite type of dog. I have a dog named Bently who doesn't do well in the heat.

Back in Black by ACDC is my favorite motivational metal song.

I haven't seen any good movies lately. I recently watched a show I liked called Run.

The area where I live is extremely hot.

[Speaker 1] I finally saw a good movie! It's not new, but I absolutely loved it, it was called Time Bandits. I have no idea how I didn't see it when I was a kid!

[Speaker 2] I haven't seen that movie before.  What was the movie about?

[Speaker 1] It's a famous time traveling movie written by two of the guys from Monty Python. It's about time travel as seen through the eyes of a boy. I think you'd like it.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting.  I might just check it out.  Movies and music are my hobbies.  I like Metal, do you have a favorite music genre?

[Speaker 1] I like to listen to most types of music, mostly top 40s pop from the last 20 years is what I listen to the most. Who is your favorite metal group?

[Speaker 2] ACDC easily, they're just incredible.  I put them on whenever I go for a run with my dog Bentley.  What else do you listen to on your daily run besides Zombie?

[Speaker 1] A very eclectic set of music. I have everything from Lady Gaga to Nirvana. Anything up-tempo is good. Speaking of running, did you already get yours in for the day?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but the heels to my running shoes are wearing thin.  I need to get myself a new pair of Brooks.  I've had my current ones for almost two years now, they're awesome.

[Speaker 1] They are, but they're so expensive. But they are worth it. Definitely.

[Speaker 2] Definitely worth it.  So where do you usually get your runs in?  I hate running on treadmills too.  I like the outside open air although it can get a bit hot around my area.

[Speaker 1] For me it's always outside, unless the weather is just awful. I can't stand running inside. It completely ruins the experience for me.

[Speaker 2] True.  You should definitely consider getting yourself a dog to run with.  They are a great companion and a great source of motivation.

I like running. I go on a daily run. I like to listen to the song Zombie while I run.

I think yoga is boring. The music puts me to sleep. I like to run a mile or so each day outside. I don't run on a treadmill if I can help it. I enjoy fast-paced music. I run outside, weather permitting. I do not like running inside.

The area where I live is very hot.

I just watched the movie Time Bandits. I liked the movie.

I like most types of music. I like top 40s pop from the last 20 years. I listen to Zombie while running. I like up-tempo music. I like Lady Gaga and Nirvana.

I have two daughters.

I majored in Psychology in college.

My hobbies are movies and music. My favorite genre of music is Metal. ACDC is my favorite metal group. I listen to ACDC while running. I like EDM music. Music motivates me when I run. Brooks are my favorite type of running shoes.

I haven't seen any good movies lately. I have never seen the movie Time Bandits. I recently watched a show I liked called Run.

The area where I live is extremely hot.

I need new Brooks running shoes.

I prefer to run outside. I feel motivated when I run with my dog.

[Speaker 1] Have you found new Brooks running shoes?

[Speaker 2] Not where I live. I'm going to have to order them online. Should I go with Amazon or Brooks own website?

[Speaker 1] I'd go with amazon because they'll get to you sooner

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. Do you run with a playlist or silence?

[Speaker 1] I have to have a playlist with upbeat music. Something like Zombie. what do you listen to?

[Speaker 2] When I run, I like silence. I like the sounds of nature and the neighborhood. But I listen to music when I drive and when I do other things. I like metal for driving and housework.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. You have your dog for motivation, but I need music to keep me going. Should i get a dog?

[Speaker 2] A dog is great for running. But then again, it would be another creature/person/living thing to take care of. A trade off of good and bad.

[Speaker 1] Would you say having a dog is worth it? How has your experience been with Bently?

[Speaker 2] Since I only have myself to take care of, it's great. He is my running partner and my security system.

[Speaker 1] The extra sense of security would be nice, but I don't know if I have space in my house for a dog as big as Bently. The kids would love it, although I'm sure I'd be the only one actually doing anything to take care of it.

[Speaker 2] That is worth considering. Little dogs are good for a walk, but you need a real working breed for running. I really lucked out with Bently.

I am not a responsible person. I like to be spontaneous.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Great! Just got a car from my mom for my 29th b-day next week! You?

[Speaker 1] Nice, I have a jeep wrangler, my husband gave it to me 2 years ago.

[Speaker 2] Sweet! Go anywhere cool with it?

[Speaker 1] Just for my errands and to go to the gym, I love to go there.

[Speaker 2] I'll be using mine to leave town for spring break!!! Are you buff?

[Speaker 1] Nice, I wish I could have a spring break but I have a lawyer as husband.

[Speaker 2] New blue hair, new easter weekend dress...i'm good to go! Are you rich?

[Speaker 1] I am not rich but I eat vegan like rich people, are you rich?

[Speaker 2] Haha no way! I'm not terribly responsible lol. I envy stable sounding lives like yours.

[Speaker 1] It sounds better than it is, I like it that way, no surprises lol.

[Speaker 2] I like being spontaneous, but that can lead to drama lol. I bet your life's chill.

[Speaker 1] Super relaxed and stable, I am glad it is not to the boring point yet.

[Speaker 2] Gotta keep it spiced up somehow! You should try blue hair lol xd.

My husband gave me a Jeep Wrangler.

I love to go to the gym.

My husband is a lawyer.

I am a vegan. I am not rich.

My life is relaxed but not boring.

I'm going out of town for spring break.

My hair is blue.

[Speaker 1] Something new...my husband came home from work one day and says he wants to go away for the weekend. I'm trying to figure out where to go. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll let you know where we end up going.

[Speaker 2] Is your husband an adventurous type? I'm looking forward for hearing your plan. I usually go out of town without any plan at all.

[Speaker 1] Not so much. I really wonder what he could have in mind.

[Speaker 2] Do you guys have children? Trip without clear planning will be a challenge if you do.

[Speaker 1] No, we've been thinking about it, but we haven't quite decided to yet. I think it would be nice to have a little girl.

[Speaker 2] Yep, better to go to may trips while you can. My older sister always complaining that having her little kids has prevented her to ever go for a trip.

[Speaker 1] I think it'd be nice to bring our child with us to some places, but I'm sure it'd be more difficult too. Now that I think about, I think my husband mentioned going to a hot springs resort not too long ago. I bet that's what he has in mind.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's sound nice. I went to Chena Hot Springs one, it was a very good experience.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think it would be quite romantic too. I'm really looking forward to this now!

[Speaker 2] I hope you have a good time! Are there any hot spring resort nearby where you live? Too bad it's only for a weekend.

[Speaker 1] Not that I know of. I think it'd take at least a couple of hours to reach one. It will be quite a trip. I hope we'll get to see some good sights along the way.

[Speaker 2] You can always be spontaneous on the road and extend the trip! haha. Hope your husband not too busy to do that.

My husband gave me a Jeep Wrangler.

I love to go to the gym.

My husband is a lawyer.

I am a vegan. I am not rich.

My life is relaxed but not boring.

I prefer to have a plan.

I do not have any children. I would like a little girl.

I think a trip to a hot springs resort would be romantic. I think any hot springs resorts would be at least a couple of hours away from me.

I'm going out of town for spring break.

My hair is blue.

I usually go out of town without any plan at all.

I went to Chena Hot Springs once.

[Speaker 1] I found a resort that was a two and a half hour drive. I did the driving and my husband was nice a relaxed when we got there.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome. Did you guys have a good time while you were there?

[Speaker 1] We did, it was so relaxing and nice to be together for a weekend.

[Speaker 2] That is great. Always great to have time alone and relax. What all did you guys do?

[Speaker 1] We got some massages, pedicures, hung out in the hot tub and napped a lot.

[Speaker 2] Naps are always great. I like naps. I just got back from unplan trip to Flordia. My friends and I went to Disney

[Speaker 1] Wow, unplanned to Disney World? That's nuts, were you super stressed with it?

[Speaker 2] No, my trips are always unplanned. It makes things so more fun for me.

[Speaker 1] Oh goodness, that would make me crazy, lol. I like to plan everything out and keep it organized.

[Speaker 2] A lot of people are like that. I just always been one for just going.

[Speaker 1] I think if you can do that and still keep your life in order, it sounds like a lot of fun. We all have to do things differently

[Speaker 2] Yes, I agree next everyone can just do it like that. Most people need to be organized. But since I have to be that one in the rest of life I choose my trips to be the one things I just go for.

My husband gave me a Jeep Wrangler.

I love to go to the gym.

My husband is a lawyer.

I am a vegan. I am not rich.

My life is relaxed but not boring.

I prefer to have a plan.

I found a resort that was a 2 1/2 hour drive. I drove there and my husband was the passenger. At the resort, we got some massages, pedicures, hung out in the hot tub and napped a lot.

I prefer my trips planned out and organized.

I'm going out of town for spring break.

My hair is blue.

I went to Chena Hot Springs once.

I like naps. I just returned from an unplanned trip to Florida. My friends and I went to Disney.

I always make unplanned trips because it's so much more fun.For trips, I just like to get up and go.

[Speaker 1] Do you color your hair different colors a lot or do you like to stick with blue?

[Speaker 2] I usually just leave it blue. I chose this color when I was in high school and stuck with it. It would probably be hard to recognize me if I kept changing my hair's color.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's really impressive that you have been that consistent since high school! I am thinking about changing my hair color to red. Do you think I should just go for it? Or should I make sure that my husband thinks it's a good idea first?

[Speaker 2] I think you should just go for it. What color is your hair now? My hair used to be brown.

[Speaker 1] My hair is dirty-blonde right now. I used to dye it completely black when I was in college though. I think I might get it colored now to kind of mix things up a bit before I decide to have a child soon.

[Speaker 2] I like hair that is dirty-blonde. Every year for about a month, I'll wash the blue out of my hair, then add some new fresh blue coloring to it. If I had a child, my lifestyle would need to change dramatically.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it's super satisfying to have that fresh blue color though! Yeah, they really hurt your ability to be spontaneous. Do you think you'll ever decide to have kids of your own someday?

[Speaker 2] If I do, I better decide soon. I'm almost 30 years old. Have you ever dyed your hair? I dyed my hair for the first time in high school as a dare from a friend.

[Speaker 1] I used to dye it black, but I've never gone for any of the more interesting colors. I actually had my hair dyed black when I first met my husband, so I think he would probably like it if I surprised him with a new color.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry, I meant to ask when was the first time you dyed your hair. I bet he would like that. Sometimes in high school I felt that my brown colored hair was boring. I sometimes imagined what it would be like if I had dirty-blonde or red hair in high school.

[Speaker 1] I first started when I was in my late teens. I do wish I would have started earlier though. I agree that it probably would have been cool to have colored hair in high school. I wasn't confident enough yet though.

[Speaker 2] I was considering getting braids, and maybe putting my head in a pony tail. Those are hairstyles I have never tried. Some of my male friends in high school had mohwaks.

My husband gave me a Jeep Wrangler.

I love to go to the gym.

My husband is a lawyer.

I am a vegan. I am not rich.

My life is relaxed but not boring. I went to college.

I prefer to have a plan.

I want to color my hair red. I have dirty blonde hair, but I used to dye it black. I have always dyed my hair black. My hair was black when I met my husband. I first dyed my hair in my late teens. I was not confident enough to dye my hair before that.

I'm going out of town for spring break.

My hair is blue.

I went to Chena Hot Springs once.

I have blue hair. I used to have brown hair. I like dirty blonde hair. I recolor my blue hair once a year. I do not have a child.

I dyed my hair for the first time in high school because of a dare. I had brown hair in high school. I have never had my hair in braids or a pony tail. My male friends in high school had mohawks.

[Speaker 1] My husband agreed that I should color my hair red.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! I doubt you will be able to convince him to let you dye it blue like mine. Do you know what shade of Red you want to make it?

[Speaker 1] A strawberry red. Sort of like Nicole Kidman.

[Speaker 2] That is a tough color to get right. You'll have to do some research on what the exact process and color you will need for that. Have you done any of that research yet? If not, it might be advisable to go to a stylist to do it.

[Speaker 1] That is good advice. My husband will REALLY hate it if it comes orange or something! That would be scary!

[Speaker 2] One of the directions you can go is using Henna. Like the tattoo. It can be put in the hair to adjust the color to a more red tone without doing much if any damage to the hair. Might be worth looking in to that first.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, thanks for the tip! I did not know about that! So, tell me more about your last trip to Disney!

[Speaker 2] It was great, as always. The temperature was a bit muggy. We probably should have gone months ago but what can you do. We probably went on every ride in the park twice. Have you ever been to Disney?

[Speaker 1] I have! It is truly the happiest place on Earth. What is your favorite ride?

[Speaker 2] I've always been a fan of it's a small world. I learned recently that that ride was actually originally made for the World Fair! Later on, they moved it to Disney Land in California and I think the one in Florida is a replica of the California one rather then the original.

[Speaker 1] I am always interested in Disney trivia! Thanks for teaching me that. Peter Pan is my favorite. I love the colors and scenery.

[Speaker 2] Can't say that Peter Pan is my favorite. But, one of my friends that with me really likes it so we did that ride anyway.


I live by the ocean.

I used to be an accountant.

I am ready to embark on a new career and life.

Now I am a freelance entrepreneur.

My dog is truly my best friend.

I have twelve brothers and sisters.
I live on the beach with my parents.
I want to buy my own house.
I love having horses and riding them.
I will move to the country soon.

I am looking for a new line of work. I used to be an accountant. I want to be an entrepreneur.

I have a dog.

I ride horses as a hobby.
My house is in the countryside.

[Speaker 1] Hi are you waiting for me? Was out looking at the ocean.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I am here with my parent starring at the beach afar.

[Speaker 1] Trying to decide on a new career.

[Speaker 2] Okay I wil advice you to follow your heart. We have a very large family here.

[Speaker 1] Okay being an accountant was dull work.

[Speaker 2] You can try get some hobbies like riding horses like I do.

[Speaker 1] Okay no hobbies except my dog who is the best friend.

[Speaker 2] I am planning to leave here soon, most like to my own house.

[Speaker 1] I am trying to learn how to be an entrepreneur.

[Speaker 2] It is easier to start a business in the country side.

[Speaker 1] Oh never thought about that..

[Speaker 2] That is where I bought my house.

[Speaker 1] I need to learn how to freelance. Any ideas?

[Speaker 2] Google is your best teacher on stuff like this.

I have a dog.

[Speaker 1] I've decided to open a bar! I'm drawing up a rough business plan now.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's cool! What made you decide to open up a bar?

[Speaker 1] I want to go into a new line of work. Something that helps me socialize would be perfect for me. Fortunately, opening a bar meets that need.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! It's good to socialize. Riding horses kinda fills that need for me. It's not with humans, but there's still a bond, you know?

[Speaker 1] I definitely understand you. I sometimes get that feeling with my dog. Do you have a personal horse?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do! She's a rescue, which makes our bond all the more special and important. Her name is Anna. What's your dog's name?

[Speaker 1] My dog's name is Rhaegar. He was named after Daenerys Targaryean's brother in Game of Thrones.

[Speaker 2] That's a really cool name! Is he a certain breed?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. He is Alsatian. What color is Anna? Is she white? White horses are beautiful

[Speaker 2] Nice! She's white with black peacock spots, so she kinda looks like a dalmatian :) Did you adopt Rhaegar?

[Speaker 1] I bought him when he was just a puppy.

[Speaker 2] Cute! Is he really well-behaved then? Anna can be difficult sometimes. But I love her anyway.

I plan to open a bar. I want to socialize more.

My house is in the countryside.

[Speaker 1] I'm almost finished drawing up the plans for the bar I want to open.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! How much time do you think it’ll be before the grand opening?!

[Speaker 1] My time line is end of Summer but that maybe too ambitious.

[Speaker 2] Well all the very best! I’m so happy you’re finally going to be doing something you love... bye bye boring accounting days lol

[Speaker 1] I hear you. but at least I know how to manage the books. And if the bar fails I have something to go back too, :(

[Speaker 2] Hey, just stay positive... I’m sure the bar is going to be a rocking hit :) but you’re right, it’s good to have a safety net! Do let me know if I can help out in any way...

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the encouragement. I realized I need good luck. I wonder If I can get a horseshoe from you for good luck.

[Speaker 2] You got it! I have just the thing.... now I don’t have to think about a gift ;)

[Speaker 1] it can be any horseshoe laying, around that you no longer need. I can hang it up over the cash register.

[Speaker 2] Only the best for you, my friend! I’m sure Anna won’t mind :) It is so exciting.... I love that you will be able to socialize while making a living- the perfect combo!

[Speaker 1] I heard Anna is very possessive over her shoes, lol. But that is why I am excited about the bar, I want to be around people instead of hiding in a office cubicle.

[Speaker 2] Actually she is... lol... good thing there’s plenty for her to be generous, especially to bring good luck to a friend’s new bar!

I make blueprints. I hope to open a new bar by the end of the summer. I would rather work in a bar than I would work in an office cubicle.

I typically work in accounting, which I find boring. If my new bar fails, I plan to go back to accounting.

I believe in luck and good-luck charms.

My house is in the countryside.

[Speaker 1] I'm looking for new employees for my bar. I need other bartenders and maybe some security. I'm wondering where I should search for employees. Let me know if you know anyone who might be interested.

[Speaker 2] For security, you should look for off-duty police officers.  I know a few police officers that might be interested.  I will give them your email.

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea thanks so much. Now I just need to put some good luck charms all around the place.

[Speaker 2] Be sure to have a horseshoe hung over the entrance.  My grandfather had one that he put over his front door in every house he owned.  What other charms are you looking at using?

[Speaker 1] I already do! My grams told me to do the same thing! I wanted to use a few clovers that I found, and maybe some of my favorite crystals hidden around the place.

[Speaker 2] Clovers are great as well.  What about a couple lucky rabbits' feet to hang behind the bar?

[Speaker 1] You were reading my mind, literally! Enough about me, what about you, how have you and your horse been?

[Speaker 2] Ok I guess.  She is being really difficult about getting re-shoed.  She kicked the guy I had come in to put new shoes on her.  He will not come back and he is now the third person she has kicked.  I am concerned I won't be able to get people to work with her soon!

[Speaker 1] Oh goodness I hope he was alright! That does sound frustrating, is there anyway you could do it, since she has learned to trust you a bit more than strangers?

[Speaker 2] I may have to try.  I have never had to do it before.  Maybe if I get someone to help me do it that would work.  I will give that a try this weekend.  If she kicks me though, I don't know how I will react.  I am afraid it would make me reluctant to even ride her again.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a plan. I am not shy to animal bad behavior though, I will have to send my pup to doggy boarding school because I don't have the time for training myself.

[Speaker 2] I wish there was a boarding school for horses.  Maybe I should start one as a new career!  I am not sure I have the patience to do that though.  Oh well, I will continue to work with her.  When does your dog start boarding school?

My dog is named Rhaegar. My dog is an Alsatian. I bought my dog when he was a puppy. I am sending my dog to boarding school.

I believe in luck and good-luck charms.

I own a bar. I need to employ some bartenders and security.

My house is in the countryside.

I like to ride horses. My horse is a rescue, and her name is Anna. My horse is white with black peacock spots. I love my horse, even though she is sometimes difficult. My horse needs to be re-shoed. My horse is aggressive with strangers. I am afraid my horse will kick me if i try to re-shoe her.

I know some police officers.

My grandfather owned many houses.

[Speaker 1] I know someone who says their used to horses acting up with re-shoeing and they could probably give you some tips, should I put you guys in contact?

[Speaker 2] That would be great! My Horse is really aggressive with strangers so I was thinking about taking a class on how to do the shoeing my self. Do you know if this person will teach me or guide me through the process?

[Speaker 1] They will come out and do it for you and train you to do it on your own. They are really qualified. I think you will be pleased with their services.

[Speaker 2] Ok. I'm really only concerned about how aggressive my horse can be around strangers. But, if you think they can do it I trust you.

[Speaker 1] They are great with all kinds of animals. They can probably even teach you some tips to lessen the aggression. Aggression comes from fear, so they can help you tackle the fear. They are really good.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good! If you can pass their information on to me I'll give them a call sometime later today. In the mean time, I should probably get back to checking up on my horse and feeding him.

[Speaker 1] I will send that right over to you. What are you feeding him?

[Speaker 2] I meant to say her! Ha. Anna is my baby so I make sure to feed her only the best hay I can find. There is a local grower that always has high quality.

[Speaker 1] That is good. It is clear that you love her dearly. She is lucky to have such a great home.

[Speaker 2] She is a bit lucky in that regard. Taking in a rescue horse sure is a tough job. But, I really wouldn't want it any other way.

[Speaker 1] Rescues are so loving. They know that they have been saved and given a better life.

[Speaker 2] Anna certainly knows that she has been rescued! I think that is why she is so comfortable with me but also why she is so aggressive with others.

I recently moved to a new city.

I drove 1000 miles to see my favorite band play.

I like to take naps.

I am a good housepainter.

I have two kids.

I help produce horror movies with my father. Horror movies are my favorite.

I like to paint. I like to take naps.

I like to be a passenger on a long drives. I know how to drive but don't drive much.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how was your day?

[Speaker 2] It was good, I have a cushy government job and took a nap during work.

[Speaker 1] Thats very good I just moved to a new city.

[Speaker 2] That's good, do you need someone to paint your house? I'm pretty good at painting.

[Speaker 1] I dont need I have two older brother that can help me with it.

[Speaker 2] Well, my two kids help and I bet we could finish the job faster.

[Speaker 1] I do help my father too in the farm back in the days.

[Speaker 2] I helped my father produce horror movies. That's why they are my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Oh really tell me what is your hobby.

[Speaker 2] Mostly taking naps and painting. You?

[Speaker 1] I love driving alot I can drive 1000 miles without taking water.

[Speaker 2] I prefer to be the passenger and nap through those 1000 miles.

[Speaker 1] Lol you are very funny can you drive?

[Speaker 2] I can drive, but I usually let my two kids do the driving..

I just moved to a new city.

I have two older brothers.

I love to drive for long periods.

I have an easy job with the government.

I am a good housepainter.

I have two kids.

I like to paint. I like to take naps.

[Speaker 1] I just got a call from a place where I put in a job application. I have an interview on Monday! Now if I can only find the place...I haven't been out and about much since I've been here.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome news, I hope it goes well. Are you normally good at interviews?

[Speaker 1] Thanks! In general as long as I keep calm I'm alright at them, though I have had a couple of interviews in the past where they asked me questions I hadn't prepared for and I got very flustered! What about you, are you good at interviews?

[Speaker 2] Ah but they do ask questions that they know you can not answer, it is part of the interview. I am normally alright with interviews.

[Speaker 1] Yea you're right, they probably want to see how well the candidate can answer unexpected things under pressure. Is your job with the government still going well? I can't remember how long you've worked there now.

[Speaker 2] That is exactly that they are looking for. Just be calm and never panic. Yes still going well. Can you believe I have been there 15 years!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I hadn't realised it was over a decade! It's great that you've found a job that you enjoy and want to stay at. I can assure you that job searching at the moment is not enjoyable! Do you have to work as part of a big team or is it more independant projects?

[Speaker 2] Well not sure I enjoy it lots, its not bad but enjoy is a strong word. Just think though your searches may already be done,

[Speaker 1] Haha yes, "enjoy" is probably a rare word to use about a job. I really hope I get the role, it'll be nice to settle into the new city knowing I have money coming in soon!

[Speaker 2] What was the role for again?

[Speaker 1] It's a project coordinator role for a charity. I'd love to be a project manager one day, though I know it can be very stressful at times making sure everything stays on budget!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like it would be rewarding. I wish mine was more rewarding.

I just moved to a new city.

I have two older brothers.

I love to drive for long periods.

I have a job interview on Monday. I am anxious about finding the place. I am good at interviews as long as I keep calm. I think job searching right now is not enjoyable. I am interviewing for project coordinator for a charity.

I have an easy job with the government. I have been working at my job with the government for 15 years now. I wouldn't say I enjoy my job. But I wouldn't say it is bad. I wish my job was more rewarding.

I am a good housepainter.

I have two kids.

I like to paint. I like to take naps.

I am normally alright with interviews.

[Speaker 1] I got a friend to role play the interview with me.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. How did it go? Were you able to stay calm? When is your actual interview?

[Speaker 1] Yeah i stayed calm because its a fake interview. My interview is 2 days from now i'm pretty nervous hope i dont screw it. I wish i had a government job like yours

[Speaker 2] You'll do great! Don't sweat it too much. Eh, you know I don't love my job, but it pays the bills. I kind of wish I could work in interior design since I like painting. But THAT wouldn't pay the bills.

[Speaker 1] Yeah i know that feeling the things we have passion wont help us in terms of money, but producing horror movies i'm sure you love that job, all people love horror movies

[Speaker 2] That's not true, haha! My sister hates them! She won't get anywhere near us when my dad is working on a film.

[Speaker 1] I love watching horror movies with those people i would feel a little better as they are more scared than me. Have you worked in big budget hollywood horror movies

[Speaker 2] No, my dad is kind of small potatoes. If he hears about a good project, he'll work with it, but he's never been on a major film. It's more of a side hobby than an actual career for him.

[Speaker 1] Seems like a good hobby i wish you would grow big to produce movies like the conjuring

[Speaker 2] You never know! It's possible if he gets himself attached to a big-budget script. But for now we're content with smaller projects. At least it gives him more free time to fish!

[Speaker 1] Ah yes you wont realize the free time you have when you are jobless, when working all i think is about the vacation i could go back to the days of working on my dad's farm

[Speaker 2] Well, I think there's truth to the old saying that the green is always greener on the other side. We always want what we don't have! Kind of sad, really.

I just moved to a new city.

I have two older brothers.

I love to drive for long periods.

When I'm working, I just think about vacations and the past when I worked on my dad's farm.

I am a good housepainter.

I have two kids.

I like to take naps.

I am normally alright with interviews.

[Speaker 1] If you were an interior designer, what style would you design in?

[Speaker 2] I definitely prefer mid-century design. Something like the first season of Mad Men, that kind of look. How about you? What do you prefer?

[Speaker 1] I love mid-century design as well, and I love the show Mad Men.  Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, Mad Men is great. I re-watch it every 2 years or so. It would be fascinating to be able to time travel back to that time for a few days and really live in the moment back then.

[Speaker 1] For sure.  Shows and movies are my favorite past time.  I love horror movies.  I think it's so cool you make horror movies with your dad.  How do you come up with the plot to your movies?

[Speaker 2] We have a lot of weird, creative conversations. We always have in my family. We used to write parts of stories and then swap them half-way through so that the other person could take over the story and add different creative elements to it. That's honestly how we still come up with some of our ideas.

[Speaker 1] That's terrific!  Have you seen any good horror movies recently?  Personally, I prefer the classics like Halloween or Friday the 13th.

[Speaker 2] Yes, we watch a lot of horror movies in our family. Our favorite right now is the Conjuring series of films and their spin-offs. The newest one just came out and it was ok. Have you seen any horror movies lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, but just the classics like I mentioned.  I'm not too keen on the modern ones, they just don't make them like they used to.  Who knows, maybe one day I'll be watching your creation in the theatres.

[Speaker 2] That would be great, but alas, I think my work is only destined to ever exist on Youtube. lol! How are you feeling about Monday's interview?

[Speaker 1] Nervous, but I'm prepared.  I really hope I get it.  But honestly though, I wish I have a government job like you.

[Speaker 2] It's both good and bad. It's like having tenure as a college professor. You are very unlikely to be fired, but you don't feel very fulfilled because you're just a drone in a huge bureaucracy.

I just moved to a new city.

I have two older brothers.

I love to drive for long periods.

I am preparing for an interview and had a friend role play it with me. I stayed calm mostly because it was a fake interview. My interview is in 2 days and I'm pretty nervous. I wish I had a government job. I am prepared for my interview.

I love watching horror movies with people that get more scared than me. I like classic horror movies. I don't really like modern horror movies.

I love mid-century design. I love the show Mad Men.

I would like to time travel. I like to watch shows and movies.

I am a good housepainter.

I have two kids.

I like to take naps.

I am normally alright with interviews.

I don't love my job, but it pays the bills. Since I like to paint, I kind of wish I would work in interior design, but it doesn't pay enough. I like mid-century design.

I help produce horror movies with my dad. My sister hates horror movies. We make horror movies as a hobby, not major films. We are content making the smaller movies. I make movies for YouTube. I don't feel fulfilled by my job.

I like the show Mad Men. I would like to travel back to that time.

My dad and I write together.

My family watches a lot of horror movies. My families favorite horror series is the Conjuring.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about taking a chance and doing something creative and more fulfilling full time? Either making movies or interior design, or is their another creative outlet that appeals to you?

[Speaker 2] I have been working producing horror movies and I really like it!  It is a lot more enjoyable than my day job.  Not sure that interior design is a good fit.  I just am good at painting houses.

[Speaker 1] The process of making horror movies must be fascinating.  Do you have any interesting stories from the set?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah.  One time a makeup artist was applying fake blood all over a scene.  They had this all over their hands.  While they were spreading this blood around they cut a finger pretty bad.  They had no idea they had done this until they went to clean up.

[Speaker 1] That sounds gross.  By the way, what is movie blood made out of anyway?  Do you know or do you have a favorite blood recipe?

[Speaker 2] There is some weird chemical mix that I really do not mess with.  It is easy to clean up.  I try to stay away from this part of the movies.  I know what it should look like and that we want to keep everyone safe when using the fake blood.

[Speaker 1] Chemicals!  Do the actors hate working with it then?  I can imagine they are a pretty high maintenance bunch.  Do they worry about the blood messing with their looks?

[Speaker 2] Our actors are pretty amateur.  No big name ones so they are really good to work with.  Hey, how about you?  How is your interview practice going?  I am pretty sure you be excellent during it!

[Speaker 1] I think this discussion is helping me with making small talk, so thanks.  I just have to try and remember who i am and try to sell my good points.

[Speaker 2] That is a good approach.  I suppose you have been doing research on the company you are interviewing with?  I find it always helps to know the company as best you can for an interview.

[Speaker 1] Yes. Thanks for the reminder.  I have a couple of more companies to research today.  Of course, it is always interesting to figure out what a company's corporate culture is.

[Speaker 2] Exactly.  I know that one job is to work for a charity.  When you mentioned you wanted a government job I wonder why?  I have been a government employee and worked as a contractor for the government.  Some of these jobs were good, others were very frustrating.  Just a slow pace and sometimes what they wanted to do was very questionable.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow... Why? I have daughters so I guess we wouldn't be welcome at yours.

[Speaker 2] Tax write off. Thank goodness it's the end of tax season.

[Speaker 1] True. I have to file my taxes alone as I own my own company. It's a pain.

[Speaker 2] Wow as an accountant, I can tell you, too many schedules.

[Speaker 1] Oh! I am actually looking for an accountant. Take the hard work off my hands..

[Speaker 2] For sure, I run to relax so I can eat lots of high protein foods.

[Speaker 1] Great. How much do you charge?.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am reasonable. We charge by how many schedules you have.

[Speaker 1] Ok sounds good. We should keep in touch. Im usually out at the karaoke bare.

[Speaker 2] You like music? Ever hear about sufjan stevens, my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Never. I do enjoy singing classics at the karaoke nights though.

[Speaker 2] Now that's a different thing to do.

I have daughters.

I need an accountant.

I like to go to karaoke bars.

I live where I do for a tax write-off.

I am an accountant.

My favorite singer is sufjan stevens.

[Speaker 1] I got a call from the karaoke bar and they asked me if I wanted to perform and be the MC for karaoke night on Saturday! It sounds like fun so I think I'll accept.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite song to perform?

[Speaker 1] I'd say Frank Sinatra's My Way is my favorite one to perform. Do you like that song?

[Speaker 2] That is a great song.  I am a fan of sufjan stevens myself

[Speaker 1] I'm unfamiliar with Sufjan Stevens. What kind of music does this person sing?

[Speaker 2] He does a lot of collaborations with other singers.  His first hit was a sun comes

[Speaker 1] I see. Maybe I'll check his music out sometime. Do you enjoy karaoke bars or singing in general?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes when I go out for a date.  But sometimes I wish I can write off dates in my taxes.  Do you know if I can write them off?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. I do my own taxes, but my financial situation is pretty simple so I can't say for sure. Maybe some of your coworkers might know?

[Speaker 2] Sure.  I do corporate taxes mostly so I will ask around with some acquaintances.  How are your girls doing?

[Speaker 1] They're growing up fast. My oldest is almost done with high school. Pretty soon she'll be off to college. I can't believe it

[Speaker 2] Maybe sone day she will be doing karaoke at a bar when she turns 21.  Does she like Karaoke like you?

I have daughters.

I need an accountant.

I like to go to karaoke bars. I enjoy singing classics on karaoke nights. I was offered a karaoke gig for Saturday night. My favorite song to perform for karaoke is Frank Sinatra's My Way.

I have a simple financial situation.

I live where I do for a tax write-off. I am an accountant. I wish I could write off dates on my taxes. I do corporate taxes mostly.

My favorite singer is sufjan stevens.

I am a fan of Sufjan Stevens.

I sometimes do karaoke when I go out on a date.

[Speaker 1] Did you think of a way to write off your dates on your taxes?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, but I've still been investigating the possibilities. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] There will be information out their online. I am sure you can find out what you need. Are their people at work that can help you?

[Speaker 2] I guess there are some people I could ask at work. I'll ask around and see. So how is the hunt for an account?

[Speaker 1] I am still hunting for a decent accountant. One with no frills. I have been busy preparing my daughter for college recently that I haven't spent that much time looking. Would you believe she needs a million things for college?

[Speaker 2] I can imagine! At least you can probably order most things online, right? Or do you prefer shopping in store?

[Speaker 1] Inside definitely. Online is just too much stress. Very hard to really understand quality online. We just went to one shop and picked up most of the stuff there.

[Speaker 2] I guess that makes sense, but sometimes I find it really stressful to be at the mall. So how does your daughter feel about going off to college? Is she ready?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think so as much as she can be really. She needs to learn to be independent now. Do you think you want to have children someday?

[Speaker 2] That's true, it's an important step in everyone's life. I'm not sure if I could handle the responsibility of children, but maybe a dog would be nice..

[Speaker 1] Yes a dog would be a good warm up. What breed would you get?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure. Probably a big breed though because I usually don't like really small dogs. Do you think that would prepare me for a child?

I have daughters.

I need an accountant.

I have a simple financial situation.

My oldest daughter is almost done with high school and will soon be off to college. I'm looking for an accountant. My daughter needs items for college.

I prefer shopping at physical stores.

My favorite singer is sufjan stevens.

I am a fan of Sufjan Stevens.

Going to the mall induces stress in me.

I haven't any children. I would like a dog. I prefer larger dogs over smaller dogs.

[Speaker 1] Have you found any help with the tax situation?

[Speaker 2] Not yet! It was stressing me out too much, so I decided to take a much needed break. I rented out a lakeside cottage for a week so I am just relaxing and enjoying life at the moment.

[Speaker 1] That sounds very calming. Especially with a Sufjan Stevens sound track in the background. :) Are you getting to run at the cottage?

[Speaker 2] Yes, definitely! It's mostly forest terrain but I am getting some good hikes in. Just me and my earbuds and Sufjan Stevens! I mean how much better could life get? Are you planning on any getaways this summer?

[Speaker 1] I'm taking my kids to New York next month, one last hurrah before the oldest leaves for college.

[Speaker 2] Oh that will be fun! What items are on your must-see list in New York? Have you and your kids ever been before?

[Speaker 1] I've been, but not with the kids. We'll do the zoo in central park, walk the--i think it's called the highland?--the old railroad track that's been turned into a path through manhatten. And of course a broadway show

[Speaker 2] Oh, I have heard about that railroad track but have never seen it myself. It sounds really cool! Your kids will love it. Do you know which broadway show you will see? I haven't been in a long time, but I used to love watching musicals.

[Speaker 1] I'm debating right now between Fiddler on the Roof and Wicked. Unfortunately everyone wants to see a different show.

[Speaker 2] I suppose everyone has different tastes, but I don't think you could go wrong with either of those choices. I must admit that I am partial to Wicked. I have seen it twice, and I get chills every time! The soundtrack is incredible.

[Speaker 1] I also imagine the clockwork dragon is very, very cool in a Broadway show

[Speaker 2] Super cool! I think your kids would love it. They must be so excited for the trip, and I am sure it will be great family bonding time.

I have daughters.

I need an accountant.

I have a simple financial situation.

I prefer shopping at physical stores.

I'm taking a trip with my kids to New York next month. My oldest is leaving for college soon. I've been to New York before. I will take the kids to Central Park, walk through Manhattan and go to a Broadway show. I will either see Fiddler on the Roof or Wicked on Broadway. I am also interested in Clockwork Dragon.

My favorite singer is sufjan stevens.

I am a fan of Sufjan Stevens.

Going to the mall induces stress in me.

My taxes were stressing me out. I rented a cottage at the lake for a week to relax. I'm enjoying life at the moment.

I enjoy hiking. I like listening to Sufjan Stevens.

I have seen Wicked twice and really love the soundtrack.

[Speaker 1] I may have settled on what show to see on broadway.

[Speaker 2] Which one have you decided on? I've heard Hamilton is great as well but I'm not sure that's still on Broadway.

[Speaker 1] Well, you've talked up Wicked so much that I think I'll go with that one!

[Speaker 2] Excellent! I know you'll have a great time. Be sure to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art while you're there too. There's an excellent exhibition on the Medici now through October.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! We'll have to do that. I'm just so excited to go. I so love the idea of shopping in all of those fabulous stores and seeing all of that art and just feeling the vibe of the city.

[Speaker 2] And there's no better place to find a variety of things for your daughter's dorm room!

[Speaker 1] I still can't believe she's already old enough to fly the nest. It's crazy. But yeah, she'll definitely find some interesting items there, I'm sure!

[Speaker 2] Has your daughter decided which college to go to?

[Speaker 1] Yes, she's going to the school of communications at NYU. She wants to be a journalist.

[Speaker 2] The world needs more journalists! I bet she'll do great.

[Speaker 1] Haha, as long as she's an honest journalist who works hard and reports to actual truth, I'll be happy.

[Speaker 2] Yes!! Takes a journalist to know that opinions aren't news. Like I said, the world needs more of 'em. What kind of decoration is she going to use for her room?

[Speaker 2] I bet it's pretty. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] I went back to school, I am student.

[Speaker 2] What do you major in?

[Speaker 1] Cosmetology, I want to color peoples hair, mine is blue.

[Speaker 2] I just colored mine black. I love chocolate ice cream.

[Speaker 1] Yum, are you doing anything for spring break?

[Speaker 2] Nothing planned, curl up with a good book. Lol.

[Speaker 1] Cool, next week is my birthday.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, my got me a car.

[Speaker 2] My father was in the military and he has a thing for cars.

I celebrate easter.

I am currently in school.

I have blue hair.

I own a business.

I enjoy reading.

My father was in the military.

[Speaker 1] I was assigned so much school work during spring break!

[Speaker 2] Wow! That must be really stressful for you. How are you able to cope with that?

[Speaker 1] It's mostly writing, which I'm good at so it shouldn't be that hard! It's just a lot of work!

[Speaker 2] I totally understand you. When I feel weighed down due to too much work, I usually go out to get some chocolate ice cream. It helps put me at ease. Try it, it might help relieve you of the stress.

[Speaker 1] Sadly, I don't like ice cream. My favorite dessert is chocolate chip cookies!

[Speaker 2] Chocolate chip cookies? I have never had one of those. How does it taste like?

[Speaker 1] They are sweet and chocolatey! Have you ever had any type of cookie?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I guess I have. But I don't think I'll be able to recall the name of the cookie. My father used to bring some cookies when ever he comes home from the military.

[Speaker 1] That's nice of him! My father sometimes makes me cookies when I get home from school!

[Speaker 2] That's just cute and wonderful. Is he going to get you cookies for your birthday next week?

[Speaker 1] Yes he is! He will be making chocolate chip cookies! I am very excited!

[Speaker 2] Wow! That's just super exciting. I'll love to have a taste of this chocolate chip cookie. I hope it is as fantastic as you make it sound

My father was in the military.

I have schoolwork that sometimes is too much.

I have never had chocolate chip cookies. I have eaten a cookie before. I want to try a chocolate chip cookie.

My father is in the military.

[Speaker 1] I have the cookies if you still want one.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'd love to try one.  How do you suggest I eat it?  With milk or ice cream?  Should I warm it in the microwave?

[Speaker 1] I think you should pour yourself a cold glass of milk and enjoy the cookie.  Its very rich and sweet, I think you will really like it.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great.  I think I'll do that.  I was teasing about the ice cream anyway because I know you don't like it!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I know its odd, everyone pokes fun at me for it.  What is your favorite dessert?

[Speaker 2] Well I think chocolate ice cream is my absolute favorite.  But other than that, I'd probably say a German chocolate cake.  Have you ever tried that?

[Speaker 1] That is my absolute favorite!!  Its soooo good.  Im surpised you said that because its not a favorite of too many peopel.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's sort of a well-kept secret in some respects.  But I absolutely love coconut-pecan frosting.  When I was a child I would usually have a German chocolate cake as my birthday cake.

[Speaker 1] Same with me, it was always my request.  SOmetimes my mom would make the frosting from scratch on the stove top and sometimes she would just get the canned icing.  Both are good.

[Speaker 2] Your birthday must be just a day or so away at this point.  What all do you have planned?

[Speaker 1] Im having some friends over for a cookout and sleepover!

[Speaker 2] That sounds really fun!  I hope you have a great time.  What's on the menu for the cookout?

I celebrate easter.

I have blue hair.

I am good at writing.

I don't like ice cream. My favorite dessert is chocolate chip cookies. I have a father who makes me cookies sometimes. I think milk and cookies are very enjoyable. German Chocolate cake is my favorite dessert.

My mom would make birthday cakes for me when I was a child.

I enjoy cooking out.

I own a business.

My father was in the military.

My father is in the military.

I like to eat cookies. I own a microwave.

I tease people for fun.

Chocolate ice cream is my favorite. I like German Chocolate cake. I love coconut-pecan frosting. I am a grown up.

[Speaker 1] I had a very nice birthday last week.  My friends came over and we had a cookout and a German Chocolate cake for dessert that my mom made for me.

[Speaker 2] Happy Belated Birthday! How old are you now?

[Speaker 1] Thank you!  I am now 22 years old. Hey have you tried a chocolate chip cookie yet?

[Speaker 2] I almost did when I ordered pizza earlier but I went with the big brownie.  It's got chocolate chips in it so I'm getting closer.lol

[Speaker 1] That's funny, I only asked because my mom made me a huge chocolate chip cookie for my birthday and I thought of you.  It was really good.  Although I missed having the German chocolate cake she usually makes.

[Speaker 2] I'm going to order groceries tomorrow.  I'll add some to my cart and get back to you.  Do you have any good brands to recommend?

[Speaker 1] No ! Don't buy them .... You have to make them from scratch!  Use the receipt on the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag - it really is perfect.

[Speaker 2] Okay okay.  I'll have to figure out all the other ingredients I'll need.  I'm not much of a cook thought so this might not go well.

[Speaker 1] I think you should give it a try, although you're right, there are a lot of ingredients in the recipe.  I know I don't usually have everything I need.

[Speaker 2] I'll make it happen but honestly food tastes better when someone else makes it so you should just send me some cookies instead.lol

[Speaker 1] I agree with you about food tasting better when someone. else makes it, but not when I make it. LOL!!

[Speaker 2] Well it's a good thing your mom made the cookies then.  You lived to see 22 so her cooking must be pretty good.lol

I celebrate easter.

I have blue hair.

I am good at writing.

I enjoy cooking out.

My birthday was last week. My friends came over for a cookout. My mom made me a German Chocolate cake for dessert. My mom made me a huge chocolate chip cookie for my birthday.

I am 22 years old.

I prefer homemade chocolate chip cookies to store bought.

I am not a very good cook.

I own a business.

I enjoy reading.

My father was in the military.

My father is in the military.

I tease people for fun.

I had a brownie with chocolate chips in it. I can get chocolate chip cookies with my grocery order tomorrow.

I'm not a very good cook. I will try to make my own chocolate chip cookies. I prefer eating food that someone else makes.

[Speaker 1] How did the chocolate chip cooking baking go?

[Speaker 2] It went well! I tasted one warm out of the oven. It was so good!

[Speaker 1] I am so jealous, I love chocolate chip cookies. Did you make them completely from scratch?

[Speaker 2] I did! It took a while, but it was worth it! Have you gotten to cook out recently?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I was able to cook out over the weekend. I had family and friends over, it was a blast. Maybe next time I have a cookout, you could bring the cookies!

[Speaker 2] That would be cool! How do you usually make your chocolate chip cookies?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I make them from scratch, but more often than not I just by the pre-made dough since it is so much quicker and easier.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. Do you like to add anything extra to them?

[Speaker 1] I love adding white chocolate pieces and sometimes even bits of reeses pieces.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really good! Do you do that with the pre-made dough?

[Speaker 1] No, that is usually when I make them from scratch. But maybe I will try it next time I make them. Do you like to add anything to your chocolate chip cookies?

[Speaker 2] I like walnuts and I also like white chocolate pieces. Sometimes I also add some butterscotch chips as well! That combination is delicious!

[Speaker 1] Gotcha, we're red sox fans cuz we live in new england.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I'm a truck driver.

[Speaker 2] Tough job. Been doing it long? I've been at my work for 14 years.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've been doing it for a while. Sometimes I fish for extra money too.

[Speaker 2] Invest in gold. That's my favorite metal for investment.

[Speaker 1] Nice. I've got some bitcoin, but no gold.

I've been a dentist for 14 years.

My favorite investment is in gold.

[Speaker 1] I've been meaning to ask you what your twin sister does for a living. Are you two identical or fraternal twins. I find twins fascinating.

[Speaker 2] Haha she is very different from me despite us being identical twins. She's a freelance graphic designer!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that is different. Still a cool job though. Do you have any interest in art at all, like your sister?

[Speaker 2] Not really, I'm all about that scientific approach lol. Been studying technical analysis for investments lately for fun. How about you and your sister?

[Speaker 1] We aren't twins but we do have a lot in common! We're both drivers even, although she works for DoorDash. I hear she makes a lot. How long how you been investing?

[Speaker 2] Cool, I was wondering about joining a delivery app to make some side income. How are you liking it so far?

[Speaker 1] Oh, my sister works for Doordash, but I hear that she loves her job. As a truck driver, I also enjoy being on the road, although I'm on the road much longer!

[Speaker 2] What do you like to when you're on those long driving trips? Listen to any good music or audiobooks?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, and I get to call my friends and family also. Did you know that our trucks have a little living area inside of them? Legally we aren't allowed to drive for more than 8 hours at a time, so I actually get to relax in the back of the truck and enjoy some TV. It's great! How's being a dentist?

My sister and I love baseball.

I'm a truck driver. I've been a truck driver for a while. I fish to make extra money. I enjoy my job.

I am a dentist. I've been a dentist for 14 years.

My favorite investment is in gold.

I have an identical twin sister who is a freelance graphic designer.

[Speaker 1] I just put a bit more money into my Crypto wallet.

[Speaker 2] Very cool, what coin did you invest in?

[Speaker 1] Dogecoin. I got in a long time ago. What do you think of crypto?

[Speaker 2] I think it is very volatile and unfortunately the info about it being bad for the environment due to the power it requires really hurt the stocks. I am looking for a side job, how does your sister like DoorDash?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's fair. She likes it okay, but the wages aren't great. I think you might be better off looking into day trading with your background.

[Speaker 2] I do have a gambling background and day trading is definitely a sort of gamble. Are you planning on holding onto the Dogecoin with diamond hands or do you have a point where you would sell soon?

[Speaker 1] No, I actually sold the dogecoin. I used the proceeds to get in with the bigger fish, no pun intended haha!

[Speaker 2] lol, nice good choice. Any other coins you think would be good? I'm sure a Tom Brady coin would do well in your market lol

[Speaker 1] Ha! You'd probably be right. Personally, I'm not a big fan of his. I much prefer baseball, anyway. What about you. Are you interested in sports?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I like baseball, I watch the Seattle Mariners every day, mostly they lose lol. The Red Sox are having a great year. I am a big seahawks fan, I also teach golf. Did you play any sports growing up?

[Speaker 1] I did, I played baseball. Mostly, farming is a sport haha

[Speaker 2] Oh i'm sure. I played baseball as well. A pitcher mostly. What position did you play?

My sister and I love baseball. I like baseball more than football.

I have a sister who drives for DoorDash. My sister doesn't get paid very much.

I invested in Dogecoin a long time ago. I sold all my Dogecoin.

I lived on a farm growing up. I played baseball as a child.

My favorite investment is in gold.

I am more interested in science than art. I am an investor. I'm interested in making side income. I am looking for a side job.  I think Crypto currency is bad for the environment and hurts stocks. I am considering apply to DoorDash.

I like to gamble.

I like Tom Brady I enjoy watching professional baseball.  I like the Seattle Mariners baseball team. I like the Seattle Seahawks football team.

[Speaker 1] Did you ever do any gambling on the pro sports teams? I bet that you could make a good side income by placing a few good bets.

[Speaker 2] I have bet on Tom Brady winning, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Well that was a good bet on your part. No I've never been in to gambnling much

[Speaker 2] I probably shouldn't because you lose more than you win most times. How is the bitcoin going?

[Speaker 1] Well you know how that is, it's up then it's down.It's better than that dogecoin ever was.What is gold looking like latelt?

[Speaker 2] It's doing really well.  i want to get some more.

[Speaker 1] I guess gold will never go out of style. I would say thats a good move. Did you ever look in to applying at Doordash?

[Speaker 2] I thought about it, but just been watching some baseball lately.  How's the Red Sox doing?

[Speaker 1] Ive been on the road a lot so haven't been keeping yp with it, which reminds me. I'll be driving through Minnisota next week, I was going to stop in say hi.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can see the next game with me when they play the Sox.

[Speaker 1] I could do that. maybe I'll make my delivery first then I'll have time to stay a couple days.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great!  I wish you luck on your deliveries.

I am not very interested in gambling.

I do a lot of driving. Next week ill will be driving through Minnesota. I am planning on stopping to visit Speaker1 at that time. i have a delivery to make in minnesota.

My favorite investment is in gold.

I like to gamble. I bet on sports. I like to bet on Tom Brady.

I played baseball as a child. I was a pitcher when I was in little league. I sometimes watch baseball on TV.

I want to purchase gold.

[Speaker 1] I cant believe the Mariners gave up 200 runs and got disqualified from playing ever again! Did they tar and feather Tom Brady for tweeting about it?

[Speaker 2] Now why did that make me imagine Tom Brady in a chicken outfit?? Haha! What baseball position did you play?

[Speaker 1] I played the pitcher. It's been my position since a child. Didn't you say you were a pitcher too when you were in little league? Do you still practice?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to but as you know it can be really hard on your shoulder and elbow. I stick to tossing the ball around in the back yard anymore.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah...injuries are tough, I guess you should stick to just watching baseball on TV. Anyways, have you made any sports bets lately?

[Speaker 2] No, I had a run of bad luck so I stepped back a lot. I think I'm going to stick to wild guesses from here on out! That will give me more money to spend on tickets to the actual games. It's so expensive anymore! Do you like going to the games in person?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I usually attend all the Red Sox games whenever I can. I switch between attending baseball and football games. Are you still a fan of the Seattle Seahawks?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, they're fine. I think because it's summer I'm getting a lot more into baseball though. Do you ever go to minor league ball games?

[Speaker 1] Well, I'll watch if here and there, but not a huge fan. Yeah, it is baseball season. Are you getting ready to root for the Seattle Mariners?

[Speaker 2] I am! Not really happy with the pitcher who broke the no sticky stuff rule though.

[Speaker 1] I must've missed this, need to keep up with the latest baseball news. Which pitcher are you referring to?

[Speaker 2] Hector Santiago, one of the relievers. They ejected him from a game on the 27th for foreign substances.
