I am 27 years old.

I enjoy reading.

My dad was in the military.

I love ice cream, chocolate is my favorite.

I work for a small business.

I have three cats and two dogs.

I work in a large grocery store.

I didn't finish college but I want to go back.

Growing up in a small town was the best.

My first car was a ford.

I work for a small business. I live close to both my work and the local college.

My dad has been in the military.

I have pets. I don't go out very often.

It's easy for me to get time off work.

I grew up in a town with a lot of small businesses.

I love to read. I'm currently in college.

[Speaker 1] I will be 28 next month and I wish to celebrate it.

[Speaker 2] Really? Happy early birthday. I don't go out much because I like staying home with my pets.

[Speaker 1] Awww I would have invited you. My dad will not be around.

[Speaker 2] When is it? It is pretty easy to get time off of my job.

[Speaker 1] It will be around noon. We will have abundant ice cream and chocolate.

[Speaker 2] Sweet! Do you live near the college? I know that area pretty well.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I live close to the small business I work for.

[Speaker 2] I love small businesses. They remind me of the town I grew up in.

[Speaker 1] Of course, will you mind if I recommend this book for you.

[Speaker 2] What book is it? I may not have finished college but I love to read.

[Speaker 1] My military dad thought me how to read wide and wild.

[Speaker 2] All my dad taught me was how to drive and only drive fords.

My dad has been in the military.

I have pets. I don't go out very often.

It's easy for me to get time off work.

[Speaker 1] We just hired a professional juggler AND a psychic for my birthday party! We might have a petting zoo, too.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like über fun! I remember attending a birthday party like that and I have to say it was a big hit with everyone!

[Speaker 1] Yeah! THe people seem to love it. The professional juggler for whatever reason gets the crowd fired up!

[Speaker 2] It’s a crowd pleaser... entertaining for all ages! Well a very happy birthday to you in advance:)

[Speaker 1] Thank you very much! I am going to be in the market for a new car, and you mentioend you only drive Ford's. Why is that?

[Speaker 2] Ya it’s kinda hard to explain.... I’m not usually loyal to specific brands so it’s not brand loyalty but both my folks drove Fords and I learned driving on one so maybe it’s the sentimental factor lol

[Speaker 1] Haha, I totally get that. Always respect someone who values sentimental experiences. That is what life is all about!

[Speaker 2] Glad you get that... not everyone does! Btw what kind of car are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] I don't really have anything in mind per se. I am just looking for something reliable to get me to work every day

[Speaker 2] That’s cool because then you have a very broad range to choose from!

[Speaker 1] Exactly! I am not really leaning one way or another, so as you said keeps my options open, which is always a good thing!

[Speaker 2] I have a friend whose dad has a car dealership but they deal in luxury cars. Let me know if you’re interested in a Maserati, Jaguar etc

I am currently 27 years old. My birthday is next month. I am going to have an awesome birthday party with a professional juggler and psychic.

My dad has been in the military.

I am currently in the market for a new car. I need a reliable vehicle to get to work everyday. I am very open to different vehicles and brands.

I have pets. I don't go out very often.

It's easy for me to get time off work.

I only drive Ford vehicles. My dad taught me how to drive. I love Ford. I learned how to drive with a Ford.

I have a friend with a dad whom owns a luxury car dealership.

[Speaker 1] I just finished looking at a Ford Fusion. What do you think of those?

[Speaker 2] I absolutely love fusions. If you get the ones with the bigger engine, they're like a little 4-door sportscar. They have a lot of pickup and handle like a dream

[Speaker 1] Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't think there were that many selling points. Hey, do you think I could get a friend of a friend discount at your friend's dad's dealership?

[Speaker 2] That might be a few too many friends of a friend, but I suppose we could try. I will ask my friend for you. Do you know what kind of car he's interested in?

[Speaker 1] The New Mercedes S Class 2021 for my friend. I'm pretty much sold on the Ford Fusion so don't worry about that. But yeah I'm hoping my friend isn't going to live in poverty because he wants to get this car.

[Speaker 2] As a poor college kid, I can't imagine having the money to buy a Mercedes. Thinking of that might actually motivate me to procrastinate a little less. lol!

[Speaker 1] Haha it helps that he comes from a rich family. You at least know you would get to borrow his car for a weekend or two if you got this deal going!

[Speaker 2] Very true. lol! How's the planning for your amazing birthday party going?

[Speaker 1] Pretty great. I'm only 27 once so I figured I would go all out! The food is going to be to die for too.

[Speaker 2] Exactly what food goes with jugglers and psychics? Hotdogs? Hamburgers? I can't imagine. lol!

[Speaker 1] Loads of jello because there's going to be a lot of jiggling if you get my drift.

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm certain that everything will be great and I'm so glad that you're getting the exact party that you want. You deserve that, my friend.

My dad has been in the military.

I have pets. I don't go out very often.

It's easy for me to get time off work.

I love Ford Fusions. I am a poor college kid.

[Speaker 1] You know you are invited to my party, I will even come get you and take you home.

[Speaker 2] I am really invited? Wow, I am so honored! I would love to come. But it's your birthday, you shouldn't have to worry about picking me up and bringing me home.

[Speaker 1] It would be no problem at all, I want to make sure you can attend because I love your company!

[Speaker 2] That is so sweet! Maybe I can take a taxi or an Uber so you can focus on being the host at your party?

[Speaker 1] Alright, whatever works best for you as long as you come. What kind of food do you think I should have at my party?

[Speaker 2] I will be there, I promise! I am looking forward to getting a reading from the psychic. Hmmm I am not sure, what is your favorite meal?

[Speaker 1] I really like pizza, and I think most people do too. But I'd like to have some alternative options, any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] Pizza is delicious, but a little basic for a big extravagant party in my opinion. You could have a bunch of different foods, like little appetizers so people can have some of everything. I think some sushi would be nice.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea! Sushi will be available for sure. Since I'm sparing no expense I'm going to fly in some fresh tuna direct from Japan.

[Speaker 2] Wow, are you serious? Did you win the lottery or something? haha

[Speaker 1] No, I've just been saving up for a long time to have a really good party for all my friends. Good times and good friends are worth the expense!

[Speaker 2] What is it about turning 27 that makes you want to go all out? I am not knocking it, I am just genuinely curious. I cannot wait to eat the sushi, it is my favorite and I have never had the real deal from Japan.

My dad has been in the military.

I looked at a Ford Fusion. My friend is interested in buying a new Mercedes S Class 2021. My friend comes from a rich family. I can drive.

I am going all out for my party. I will have really good food at my party. I plan to have jugglers and psychics at my party. I have invited speaker 2. I have been saving for a good party. I like my friends.

I like pizza. I like sushi. I am going to fly in fresh tuna from Japan.

I have pets. I don't go out very often.

It's easy for me to get time off work.

I am capable of taking ubers and taxis. I will attend the party. I am seeing a psychic tomorrow.

I am pretentious and think pizza is basic. I like variety of food. I like sushi and appetizers.

[Speaker 1] I appreciate you willing to come to my party even though you don't go out often. How are your college classes?

[Speaker 2] Classes are ok...right now I feel like College is a drag, but I will get through it

[Speaker 1] Yes you will! Hopefully you are learning a lot and making some good friends?

[Speaker 2] I do have a few good friends and that helps.  How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Focus on the friendships and the time will fly by. You will be out of there before you know it! Work is work. It pays the bills so I can do things like throw myself an awesome party!!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I am kind of excited to come to the party...sounds like it will be a real blast

[Speaker 1] Great food, entertainment, fun people...what more could you ask for?!?!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sounds great! Have you found a car yet?

[Speaker 1] No. Every time that I think I have made a decision, I change my mind again!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it is a hard choice. Have you at least narrowed it down or is the Fusion still a choice?

[Speaker 1] The fusion is still on the list, but not really at the top anymore.

[Speaker 2] Oh, what car made it to the top??


I am british.
I am a metal worker.
I have immigrated to the united states.
I am divorced.
I have 1 child.

I live in arizona.

I like to go skydiving.

I work for the government.

My favorite place to go is barnes and noble.

I have a pet lizard.

I recently moved from the UK to Texas.

I'm a metal worker.

I have a son. My son loves to read. I've never taken my son to Barnes and Noble.

I am divorced.

I don't have any pets. I used to own a dog, but my ex-wife took it during the divorce.

I live in Arizona. I used to live in Texas. I'm a government employee. My job forced me to move away from Texas.

I skydive.

Barnes and Noble is my favorite book store.

[Speaker 1] Hey, where are you from?

[Speaker 2] Hello, my lizard and I currently reside in arizona, you?

[Speaker 1] I just moved from the uk to the united states recently. I now live in texas.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I used to live there, but I'm a government employee, I go where they tell me.

[Speaker 1] I moved to texas because I'm a metal worker and there is work here.

[Speaker 2] Understandable, I once skydived at a place outside of houston.

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately I had no choice because I need to financially support my only child..

[Speaker 2] Do you like to take your child to barnes and noble? It's my favorite.

[Speaker 1] He does love to read. I haven't yet but I will soon.

[Speaker 2] You really should. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] No but I used to have a dog but my wife took it when I divorced her.

[Speaker 2] I love dogs, it's only drunky and I. He's an iguana.

I recently moved from the UK to Texas.

I'm a metal worker.

I am divorced.

I skydive.

[Speaker 1] I just found out my ex is suing to get custody of my son. She still lives in the UK, so it will be very bad if she wins.

[Speaker 2] I am so sorry to hear that... how long do these lawsuit typically take?

[Speaker 1] Who knows! They want to drag it on and on!

[Speaker 2] I know, a friend of mine had went through a 3 year ordeal.. i hope yours won't drag too long. I bet your son is super close to you, it would be a disater for him to leave you.

[Speaker 1] Oh he would be crushed. She honestly is just using him as a pawn. I hope the judge can see that!

[Speaker 2] I sure hope things will brighten up on your side! Maybe it's time to get another pet! My pet is the biggest cheerleader i tell you

[Speaker 1] Ha, i was just about to change the subject to your iguana, i need some joy in my life. Hows Drunky doing

[Speaker 2] Drunky has been good. You won't believe what he did the other day....

[Speaker 1] Oh geez, tell me about it please!

[Speaker 2] He managed to photobombed my niece birthday party twice... yea we let him out for with a crowd of kiddos and he was lucky to be still alive. but man, those pictures were hilarious lol

[Speaker 1] Haha I bet that was great. I had one as a kid who loved our family but anyone else he would whip his tail at them!

[Speaker 2] Those must have been great memories! btw has your son ever asked you for another dog?

I recently moved from the UK to Texas.

I'm a metal worker.

I am divorced. I am fighting my former partner for custody of my son. I am suspicious of my former partner's motives.

I once had a pet iguana.

I skydive.

I have a niece.

[Speaker 1] What do you usually feed Drunky?

[Speaker 2] Every day Drunky gets to eat cactus leaves, mangos, and butternut squash. He is very well-fed! Did you feed your iguana similar things back when you had one?

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's a great diet that Drunky has.  I mostly fed mine lettuce and other familiar vegetables.  They probably would have lived longer with Drunky's diet.  How long have you had Drunky?

[Speaker 2] I've had him over twenty years, if you can believe it! And I'm hoping we'll be together at least twenty more.  I have heard that some iguanas can live up to sixty years!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I had no idea they could get THAT old.  That's like a lifelong partner.  Have you ever considered getting another iguana or are you happy with just the one?

[Speaker 2] Well because I love iguanas so much, I have definitely thought about getting another one. I also think Drunky would like the companionship of having another iguana to live with. But I'm hesitant to get one also, because I'm afraid Drunky would be jealous and teritorial. I'm not sure if it would turn out good or bad.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's nice to think of adding a companion your pet gets along with.  But if they don't get along it can be a nightmare.  As a child my brother and I got pet hamsters.  The hamsters were actually brothers, but they fought so much they almost killed each other and we had to take my brother's back to the pet store.

[Speaker 2] Okay, so I see you understand my dilemma. It is probably best not to bring another iguana into the house. I think Drunky is happy just the way it is right now. Did people in the UK ever have pet iguanas, as far as you know?

[Speaker 1] Yes, there are definitely people in the UK with iguanas, other lizards, snakes, and all of those types of animals.  I think they're more common in the U.S., but probably not by too much.  What's the most exotic pet you've ever known about?  I know someone here in Texas with a pet armadillo.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's crazy!  I know in some parts of Texas you can see lots of armadillos on the highways that have been crushed by cars, so it is nice that the person you know is saving the life of at least one of them!  The most exotic pet I've ever heard about was a rare species of parrot that it was believed that there were less than twenty of them alive anywhere in the world!

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's incredible.  In that household you'd have to be really careful to make sure you didn't sit on it, or open a window and have it fly away!

[Speaker 2] You got that right. As unbelievable as it might sound, the person who bought it paid over one hundred thousand dollars, so I think it is safe to assume they are not doing anything that would let the bird be hurt or to let it escape!

I recently moved from the UK to Texas.

I'm a metal worker.

I once had a pet iguana. I fed it lettuce and other veggies.

I have a brother.  As a child, my brother and I had pet hamsters that were brothers.  The hamsters fought each other and I we had to return my brother's hamster back to the pet store.

I lie in Texas and know someone with a pet armadillo.

I skydive.

I love dogs. I have a pet iguana named Drunky.  I feed him cactus leaves, mangos, and butternut squash. My Iguana Drunky has been with me over 20 years.

I have a niece.

I have one Iguana.  I'm not sure if getting another one is good or bad. I think having one Iguana is good.

[Speaker 1] So I just got the news that the judge has awarded me custody of my son!

[Speaker 2] Wow that's great, do you think you'll finally take him to Barnes and Noble now?

[Speaker 1] Definitely. I have all kinds of plans for us. I can't wait to buy him tons of books!

[Speaker 2] I'm happy for you both! Maybe he can come meet my pet iguana one day.

[Speaker 1] I bet he'd love that! How ole Drunky doing these days?

[Speaker 2] He's still just chilling, enjoying heat lamps and warm rocks. What was your iguana like?

[Speaker 1] He was the same. Very mellow. I hear iguanas can be kind of feisty, but not mine.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they're more like scaly dogs than anything, in my opinion! Do you have any pets now?

[Speaker 1] Nope. My ex took the dog and I just haven't been able to bring myself to get another one. I'll see if my son wants a pet wants he gets settled in with me.

[Speaker 2] That could be a nice welcoming gift to help him feel at home, I loved puppies when I was a kid. Still do, but I loved them when I was a kid too haha

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. I'm going to start looking around for a rescue puppy. Maybe I can surprise him!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad I could give you the idea! I'll love to see how he reacts if you do get one. How old is your son by the way?

I recently moved from the UK to Texas.

I'm a metal worker.

I live in Texas and know someone with a pet armadillo.

I have custody of my son. I want to buy my son books.

I do not currently have any pets. I may rescue a puppy.

I skydive.

I have a niece.

I love puppies.

[Speaker 1] I was able to take my son to Barnes and Noble for the first time

[Speaker 2] Oh cool!  Not many kids get that experience in an actual bookstore nowadays.  Did he like it?

[Speaker 1] They did. My son loves to read. We go to th library as well. He liked that there were board games there too plus the stuffed animals and other toys.

[Speaker 2] Did he like the books too?  I used to love sitting in the kids corner and reading.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah. He loves to read. The library just doesn't have all the games and toys, so that was novel for him. We bought a few books while we were there. We are going to the shelter this weekend. We may rescue a puppy

[Speaker 2] Nice!  You should get him a book about having a puppy.

[Speaker 1] That is a good idea. We have read some stories but nothing about the real world process of that. How is Arizona right now?

[Speaker 2] Blegh Arizona is so hot right now.  I don't recommend anyone visit during the Summer.

[Speaker 1] How does it compare to Texas right now having lived in both?

[Speaker 2] Both terrible haha.  You should visit during the Winter if you ever consider it.

[Speaker 1] I will. Are you going to get a puppy or a dog ever?

[Speaker 2] No, because my iguana would probably murder it :(.


I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
I like to hike.
I have red hair.
My favorite drink is sprite.
I have a pet parrot named tasha.

I just colored my hair blue.

I bought a new dress for the easter weekend.

I will be going out of town for spring break.

I have a new car that my mom gave me.

I turn 29 years next week.

I hike.

I have blue hair. I recently bought a pretty dress.

I like to eat meat.

Next week is my birthday. My mom bought me a new car for my birthday.

[Speaker 1] Hi! How are you? I just got back from a hike.

[Speaker 2] Doing great! Next week will be my birthday. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Well, my parrot tasha's birthday is this week :) got any special plans?

[Speaker 2] Happy birthday tasha! Yes, for spring break I am taking a trip! Are you doing anything fun?

[Speaker 1] Might go camping, weather's better. Gotta watch the sunscreen though; red hair, fair skin.

[Speaker 2] Hiking is cool! Just got my hair dyed blue, and got a pretty dress because it's easter.

[Speaker 1] Blue is pretty! I used to have purple hair. Where's your trip to?

[Speaker 2] A park out of town, so I can get fresh air and relax. Purple is my favorite!

[Speaker 1] Being vegetarian definitely makes camping easy. No sprite though, it attracts bees :(.

[Speaker 2] I don't know if I could give up meat for long. What's your favorite part of camping?

[Speaker 1] I like to see new places. Are you going to a state or national park?

[Speaker 2] National park. I get to drive my new car my mom bought for my birthday!

I hike.

I like to eat meat.

[Speaker 1] What kind of car did you get?

[Speaker 2] I got a Ford Fusion. It’s a hybrid and gets really good gas mileage. It’s a green car too like I always wanted. Want me to stop over and show it to you?

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. You should definitely come over! You can finally meet Tasha!

[Speaker 2] I would love to. I hear her birthday is next week too! Do you get her any treats? I can bring one over for her birthday present from me.

[Speaker 1] Oh she'd love that! I did get her some treats, but they are a surprise. I'm having a few friends over for a little party for her. You can come over and we can celebrate your birthday too!

[Speaker 2] I can wear my new dress I got. You should see it! It really goes well with my hair.

[Speaker 1] I've been meaning to ask you about which dress you picked out. I was camping all weekend and totally forgot. I thought about going blue with my hair, but I'm not sure if it would look good.

[Speaker 2] I think it would. I really liked when you had purple. Not to say it looks bad now, it looks great, but the purple really brought out your eyes and gave you a special glow.

[Speaker 1] Aww you're so sweet! I just love the blue hair that you have and I'm thinking I want something like that. I don't mean to copy you, but blue is my favorite color.

[Speaker 2] I’d be honored if you did the same color. How was camping? I forgot you were doing that last weekend. The weather was beautiful for it.

[Speaker 1] It was great! I'm so sorry you already had plans. Maybe you can go with us next time? There were 10 of us all together. We had a ton of fun fishing, swimming, hiking, etc.

[Speaker 2] I had to work but next time I’ll make sure I’m off.

I hike.

I have a pet parrot named Tasha. Tasha's birthday is next week. I'm having a birthday party for my pet.

I have red hair and fair skin. I wear sunscreen. I used to have purple hair. I am considering dying my hair blue.

I'm a vegetarian. I drink Sprite, but I don't bring it camping. I like seeing new places. I went camping this past weekend. I enjoy fishing, swimming, and hiking.

I like to eat meat.

I have a job.

[Speaker 1] How do you like the new car? Are you running into any problems recharging it yet?

[Speaker 2] I love the new car, but there is certainly a learning curve when it comes to recharging the vehicle.

[Speaker 1] Oh well its great to hear that you are loving the car,What color was the pretty dress you brought?

[Speaker 2] I bought a lime green color with black rims, its awesome looking!

[Speaker 1] Yeah i bet! That is a nice choice of color for you rims.where are you going for your trip to a out of town park?

[Speaker 2] I am heading down to New York City, so that I can go to Central Park. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] No i never been to a central park in new york, but i have visited new york city before.

[Speaker 2] Wow, you should really go, it is a beautiful place! I think that you would really have a nice time, especially during the summer months.

I hike.

I have been to New York City. I have not been to Central Park in NYC,.

I like to eat meat.

Next week is my birthday. My mom bought me a new Ford Fusion hybrid car for my birthday. I am having a hard time learning about charging my new car.

I have a job.

I bought a lime green dress with black trim.

I am going to take a trip to Central Park in New York City.

[Speaker 1] My neighbor said she would watch my pet if you can swing by this far out I would go to NYC with you.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have no probably coming that far. I rather come get your so I don't have to go by myself.

[Speaker 1] Great! So when should I be expecting you? It should be fun

[Speaker 2] I will be leaving my house in about 30 minutes. So I should be at your house in about an hour. Is that a good time for you?

[Speaker 1] Sure, that sounds good to me. I will prepare us something to eat. Do you like veggie burgers?

[Speaker 2] Never had one, but I can try it. Don't know if I will like them or not?

[Speaker 1] I think you'll like it. They are pretty tasty. Have you tried much vegetarian cuisine?

[Speaker 2] I do it eat some, but not as much as I should. What is your favorite vegetarian meal?

[Speaker 1] My favorite would have to be Indian food. I just love the variety of spices they use. But I can never make it taste as good at home.

[Speaker 2] It is always better when someone makes it for you. The taste of not having to make it yourself.

[Speaker 1] Haha, true I guess. But I don't mind cooking, I even find it fun sometimes. I assume you don't like cooking?

[Speaker 2] I don't mind it, but like you said always seems to not be as good when I make it. Well, I should be going so I can get the stuff together for the trip.

I hike.

I have been to New York City. I have not been to Central Park in NYC, I am thinking about traveling to NYC. I am excited about my trip.

I think veggie burgers taste good. Indian food is my favorite. I am not good at cooking Indian food myself.

I think cooking is fun.

I'm taking a trip to an out-of-town park for spring break. I am travelling to NYC.

I like to eat meat. I have never had a veggie burger before. I don't eat vegetarian often.

I have a job.

I enjoy eating out. I don't mind cooking but I prefer for someone to cook for me.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry I'm running a little late, I just had to get Tasha set up with my neighbor.

[Speaker 2] Don't give it a second thought. Is Tasha sad to see you go?

[Speaker 1] She started making crying noises when I left....heartbreaking.

[Speaker 2] She'll have fun. It'll be like being in high school and having a substitute teacher. Does she know any bad words?

[Speaker 1] Bad word is all she knows.  Take a guess where she learned them...

[Speaker 2] That's so funny. Your neighbor is in for a treat. You'll have to pick up a gift in the city for them.

[Speaker 1] Any ideas on the gift to get?

[Speaker 2] We don't need to plan anything, we'll know it when we see it. I want to get something like that for my dad too.

[Speaker 1] Something like what?  A parrot?

[Speaker 2] No, My dad does NOT want a parrot. It's bad enough that he talks to the TV, I don't need him talking to birds too!

[Speaker 1] Haha!  Does he yell at sports teams?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, his favorite thing to yell at is the weatherman. He really does not like weather forecasters. At all.

[Speaker 2] True that. I can't imagine a life without that low calorie sugary deliciousness. Ah, it makes me sad to even think about that. Tell me something to break me out of this jello depresso.

[Speaker 1] Hmmm, how about your fiery red hair? I cant' believe you get made fun of for it! Red hair is so awesome

[Speaker 2] Right?! It hurts to not be appreciated for the divinely beautiful being that I am. Maybe I'll start over and become a nurse. I'd have your moms to show me the ropes.

[Speaker 1] Nursing is so tough. They did a great job raising me though. They definitely taught me to care for others.

[Speaker 2] That is something to think about. I can tell! You're going to make some man/woman very happy on the day you decide to finally settle down.

[Speaker 1] Aw shucks, thanks!  You might make a great nurse. It's a hard job, but with you being so willing to put in the hard work, I think you'd be great.

[Speaker 2] So inspiring. I'm glad to have you as my friend. I'm seriously going to consider it. I deserve to feel good about my job. Hey, how about you come over this weekend for a home cooked meal?

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! I'd be happy to bring dessert, but don't worry, I won't share my favorite :)

[Speaker 2] Always so thoughtful <3. That's smart too because you probably don't want tears all over your enchiladas.

I love rock music.

My favorite food is Jell-o. I won $1003 in a Jell-o eating contest.

I love AC/DC.

My parents did a great job raising me.  My parents taught me to care for others.

I am not in a committed relationship.

I cook out on the weekends.

I have a family.

I often cry while holding Jell-o. I also love Jell-O.

[Speaker 1] I picked up all the groceries I need to make those enchiladas for you.

[Speaker 2] Such a good friend! I have a feeling that these enchiladas are going to be life changing.

[Speaker 1] They will be! I have used my grandma's secret recipe in it, and both of my moms approved of it!

[Speaker 2] AHHHH so wholesome. I really love your family. I'll make sure there are some servings left for your moms.

[Speaker 1] It's fine you don't need to hold back, I'll make sure to buy plenty and make extra so you can also save some for the next day! Also what other food do you enjoy?

[Speaker 2] Yay! I was thinking that a huge batch of strawberry Jell-o would hit the spot after all those enchiladas.

[Speaker 1] Oh do you like the strawberry flavor? I also have some other flavor at home, I think I have some lemon and apple flavors left, and I can also use those if you want.

[Speaker 2] Haha how about all three? It'll make for a memorable meal.

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! I'll arrange a giant cakes made from all these jellos, that'll be such a sight to behold!

[Speaker 2] I'm already drooling! Thanks for all you do. I'll find a way to reward you.

[Speaker 1] Oh what would that be! I am so excited for the surprise reward!

[Speaker 2] Ok I'll let out the surprise! 4 front row tickets to an AC/DC concert!

I love rock music.

I love AC/DC.

I am not in a committed relationship.

I like to cook. My family has made spanish food for generations.

I cook out on the weekends.

I have a family.

I like to make home cooked meals. I can cook enchiladas.I like to mexican food like enchiladas.

I enjoy rock and roll music from the 1970s and 1980s.

[Speaker 1] You actually got front row tickets to an AC/DC concert? How'd you'd pull that off!?

[Speaker 2] I found a way as much as I love rock. I know you love AC/DC too so I'll tell you how. I managed to score some by standing in line for 3 hours. It was horrible but totally worth it.

[Speaker 1] I know this may sound weird but I love waiting in long lines for the thing you want. I'm glad to hear that you ended up getting that ticket though. Can you imagine waiting that long only for the tickets to be sold out?

[Speaker 2] Oh in my time I've had it happen. It's a major bummer to wait all that time and then leave empty handed. It's part of trying to get into concerts though. What concerts have you been to?

[Speaker 1] Well you know I love AC/DC - I've definitely gone to a couple of theirs. I've also been to a Pink Floyd concert because a friend had extra tickets.

[Speaker 2] I have to say that you've got some pretty good taste in music my friend. I've probably been to around 35 concerts all together.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That's quite the number. Are your ears still functioning?

[Speaker 2] So far so good! They weren't always the best seats. Sometimes front row and other times in areas where you gotta look at a screen to see the band. I don't really go anymore these days though.

[Speaker 1] Having a family will do that. Maybe when your kids are older, the live concerts can be a thing for your family to enjoy together.

[Speaker 2] I'd be glad to take them to one. My wife went to one with me before and she loved it. Still, she said it was too loud for her.

[Speaker 1] Haha! Of course it is. They say it's good practice to bring ear plugs. Otherwise some serious damage can happen over time. You watch out too!

[Speaker 2] It is a good idea if you are up close. I don't need a hearing aid so I'm doing good right now. If you find yourself a nice lady, make sure you take her ok? Ladies do love a rocker!

I love rock music.

I am not in a committed relationship.

I enjoy waiting in long lines in order to get something I want.

I really like AC/DC. I have been to 2 of their concerts. I went to a Pink Floyd concert with a friend.

I cook out on the weekends.

I stood in line for 3 hours to get concert tickets. I love AC/DC. I have waited a long time for concert tickets before only for them to sell out.

I have been to around 35 concerts.

I do not have hearing problems from the loud music. I went to concerts when I was younger. I have had seats that were good and seats that were not so good.

I have kids I would like to take to a concert. My wife went to a concert and loved it but said it was too loud for her.

I am not too worried about hearing loss right now.

[Speaker 1] How did you learn to cook enchiladas?

[Speaker 2] I like to make home cooked meals, so every weekend I try to make something new. Practice makes perfect, and Mexican food is my favorite!

[Speaker 1] That sounds great.  I have never made enchiladas and wouldn't even know where to start.  Since you love to cook, what are some of your othere favorites?

[Speaker 2] I also love to make tacos and fajitas. On the weekends when it's nice, I like to cook out and grill hamburgers too. How about you, what do you like to do on the weekends?

[Speaker 1] Well, I love weekends, and even though I also like to cook, I prefer going out to eat on the weekends and doing fun things.  I love the beach, concerts, movies, and camping.  When I go camping, I love to cook outside because it is so beautiful and peaceful.

[Speaker 2] We have so much in common! I love concerts as well. I think the most memorable one I ever went to see was AC/DC.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it sounds as though we do have a lot in common.  I see you mentioned earlier about the concerts.  That has always been something I have enjoyed doing and hopefully I can continue in the future.    You mentioned Jello makes you cry...why is that?  It makes me happy because I won some money in a jello eating contest.

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah, I remember when you won that contest! I love jello, but I have sad memories associated with it. I made the mistake of eating a bunch after a funeral, and now I think of it when I try to have Jello. On a happier note, I've always loved concerts too! What was your favorite?

[Speaker 1] I guess my favorite concert was the Rolling Stones, but I was much younger then.  They were great.  In my younger years I didn't worry too much about the loud noise (like you), but now that I am older I have started to worry about it more.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my wife shares the same concerns. Between her and the kids, I don't find myself going to concerts as much as I used to. Wow, the Rolling Stones must have been amazing!

[Speaker 1] They were truly amazing.  It was an experience I will never forget!  I am blessed for sure!  I understand where your wife is coming from about the loud noise.

[Speaker 2] There are also things I tend to do now to try to minimize the effects of the loud noise. For example, getting worse seats that are farther away actually has helped me avoid a lot of risk of hearing loss.

[Speaker 1] United states marine veteran here who just divorced his wife.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for your service. I hope you're doing alright.

[Speaker 1] Doing fine. Playing with my two sweet pet snakes.

[Speaker 2] Oh, awesome. I just got back from shooting some hoops..

[Speaker 1] Sounds fun. My fav is scuba diving.

[Speaker 2] My mom is certified too, she moved here from canada to be by the beach.

[Speaker 1] Beaches are fun. I've traveled to hawaii three times and love the beach.

[Speaker 2] I loved hawaii, I finally wasn't the shortest person around anymore.

[Speaker 1] I'm short, too, so I know what you mean.

[Speaker 2] Try bring the short guy who loves basket ball!

[Speaker 1] Oh that is quite an interesting thought.

[Speaker 2] I'm so short that I can't drive my dad's truck because the seats don't adjust. Lol.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. What a pain.

[Speaker 2] It makes flying easier. You travel much?

I have two pet snakes.

I enjoy scuba diving.

I am relatively short in height.

I play basketball.

[Speaker 1] I scuba dived in Puget Sound yesterday. Holy moly, is that water cold!

[Speaker 2] That sounds exhilarating... I bet you loved it! My mom lives to scuba dive it seems lol

[Speaker 1] Haha, has she found anything interesting on her dives?

[Speaker 2] To be honest I don’t share her passion for scuba diving but I love to listen to her going on and on about it. I’ve given it a shot but it’s really not my thing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it can be a bit disorienting for some. Maybe snorkling is more your thing? Did you get to when you went to hawaii?

[Speaker 2] You’re so right... I do enjoy snorkeling. In fact I have a trip to Maui coming up...

[Speaker 1] Now im jealous haha. Going solo?

[Speaker 2] Yup... that’s how it is right now. Are you ready to start dating again?

[Speaker 1] Eh it is what it is at this point. Hey maybe i can tag along with you like old times!

[Speaker 2] I would love that. Which island is your favorite in Hawaii?

[Speaker 1] Ive only been to the big island when i went. I wanted to go to the others though but never made the day trips

[Speaker 2] My last trip was to Big Island as well... I hope you’re on for Maui ... here we come woohoo

I recently divorced my wife. I'm a U.S. Marines veteran. I am not in a relationship at the moment.

I have two pet snakes.

I enjoy scuba diving. I know how to swim and scuba dive. I visited Puget Sound and scuba dived there.

I love the beach. I've visited Hawaii three times. I only visited the big island.

I am relatively short in height.

I play basketball.

I am relatively short in height.

I don't particularly enjoy scuba diving.

I went to Hawaii and went snorkeling there. I am going to Maui in the near future. The last time I went to Hawaii, I went to the big island.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking, maybe we should try to find some dates to bring with us to Hawaii? I bet that would be a good way to reinvigorate our love lives!

[Speaker 2] It couldn't hurt, that's for sure. But I have no idea where to find a date these days. Have you ever done the online thing?

[Speaker 1] No, I've never. Have you?

[Speaker 2] Nah, I'm always afraid I'll wind up with some nutjob who lies about everything. I've always dated people I've either known myself or friends of friends.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see. Have you had any dating experiences in Hawaii before?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, haha. But I'm open. Say, do you think you'll want to scuba dive during our trip? I'm not huge on scuba so I was thinking I may just snorkel.

[Speaker 1] I'm personally fine with either, though we could snorkel if you prefer that. Was there a specific experience which made you not a fan of scuba?

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm kind of phobic about deep water, to be honest. There's something about not being able to easily touch the bottom of the ocean floor that creeps me out. That and I'm paranoid the oxygen tank won't work right.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense, haha. I kind of like the fact that it's so deep and vast though. Do you like animals though? I love my pet snakes to death.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I like some kinds. The tropical fish in Hawaii are gorgeous. And I like dogs and cats, like most normal people, haha.

[Speaker 1] Dogs for the win, haha. Has your mom ever tried to convince you to go scuba diving with her, considering she's certified?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, she's tried many times, haha. It's always been a big no.

I have two pet snakes.

I like both snorkeling and scuba diving. I know how to swim and scuba dive. I visited Puget Sound and scuba dived there. I like how deep and vast the ocean is under the water.

I am relatively short in height.

I am going to Hawaii with my conversation partner. I want us to bring dates to Hawaii.

I have never done on line dating.

I like dogs.

I play basketball.

I am relatively short in height.

I don't know where to find a date. I have never done on line dating. I have only dated people I or my friends know.

I don't mind snorkeling. I have a phobia of deep water. I worry about the oxygen tank malfunctioning while scuba diving.

I like dogs and cats.

[Speaker 1] I think I found us a couple dates of all things through the travel agency.

[Speaker 2] OH yeah? Tell me about it!

[Speaker 1] Well, they suggested going to Europe, somewhere like Paris or London. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I thought Hawaii was the plan?

[Speaker 1] Well, it was initially. But recently I've been thinking it'd be amazing to go to Europe. Is that too crazy?

[Speaker 2] Depends on if you still wanted to scuba I guess.

[Speaker 1] I think we could still scuba dive. Actually, maybe Greece would be a good option. I've heard there is good scuba diving there.

[Speaker 2] ohh. I've heard it's beautiful there. That might work. Did they give you any prices?

[Speaker 1] It would be around $2000 for 10 days. But hey, may our dates will pay for us.

[Speaker 2] Good luck with that. LOL. I can't even find one yet.

[Speaker 1] I bet there are a lot of singles in Greece just waiting to get to know us. Don't you think?

[Speaker 2] Maybe you? Definitely not me.

I have two pet snakes.

I am relatively short in height.

I have never done on line dating.

I like dogs.

I use travel agencies. I am planning a vacation sometime soon. I want to scuba dive on this varation. I think Greece would be a good option to travel. I am planning a vacation for approximately 10 days.

I play basketball.

I am relatively short in height.

I like dogs and cats.

I have heard Greece is beautiful. I am interested in the cost of going to Greece.

I currently do not have a date for this vacation.

I have low self esteem in my personal appeal.

[Speaker 1] I've told the travel agency I am interested in scuba diving. They mentioned a few other countries have that as an option as well for us.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that will be nice at least that will give you afew choices of where to go.

[Speaker 1] They said that if we really care about scuba diving, than we have to go to Greece by August, otherwise the water won't be clear.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you want it nice and clear so you can appreciate down there I suppose. If I weren't so scaredf about the oxygen tank malfunctioning I would love to give it a go myself.

[Speaker 1] Don't even joke. You're going on this trip and you're going scuba diving. I will not let you back out now.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I know I got to get out of this fear I will need some help though to beat it.

[Speaker 1] Look, we're going to have a blast. Do you want to do Greece in August or the Maldives in September?  They're both gonna cost about $2000 and I'm good with either place.

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to visit the Maldives might be a bit colder come september but always wanted to go there.

[Speaker 1] They told me that's when the whale sharks will be there. There's a huge migration and we have a good chance to see dozens of them.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be amazing I say we go there then I would love to see that.

[Speaker 1] Not to mention the nightlife should be pretty good too. I hope you've been hitting the gym lately.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I have been going a couple of times a week the last few months, can't wait to go there it all sounds great.


A male human.

He wears glasses.

I am a gator hunter.

I have an air boat.

I've been in trouble with the law before.

My dream car is an'81 camaro.

I went hungry to buy 33 inch truck tires.

I have a favorite sweat suit.

I am an eyewear designer. I have red hair. I am a man.

I like to shop. I enjoy staying up on current events.

It's tough for me to get away from work for a vacation.

I love cars. I love road trips. I'm saving to buy a 1981 Camaro.

I don't like cities. I own an air boat, which I ride on swamps.

I love the outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! What’s going on?

[Speaker 2] Just finished wrangling some gators today, you?

[Speaker 1] Nothing that exciting! Chilling at home in my favorite sweatsuit.

[Speaker 2] After awhile it almost feels like a normal job, what do you do?

[Speaker 1] Eyewear designer. Been wearing them since I was a skinny little redhead boy.

[Speaker 2] Sounds nice, what do you do for fun?.

[Speaker 1] Go shopping and lee up on current events. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] Gator hunter, not many places will take me after my run in with the law.

[Speaker 1] Everyone deserves a second chance! Do you like to travel?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, love cars and car trips, saving up for a 81'camaro. You?

[Speaker 1] Sweet ride! Travel would be great but it’s tough to get away from work. Favorite vacation spot?

[Speaker 2] Anywhere quiet, not a fan of cities. Sometimes I'll take my air boat to a swamp..

[Speaker 1] Sounds awesome, I need to get away and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

[Speaker 2] I'm the same way, love the outdoors.

I have a favorite sweat suit.

I love the outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever had a gator bite you?

[Speaker 2] One tried to chew on me, but I wouldn't classify it as a bite. Almost like when a dog is growling/playing with you... It's a very interesting profession - never a dull day. It must be interesting to design eyewear, fashion is always changing - must be hard to keep up.

[Speaker 1] Ah, eyewear isn't nearly as exciting as what you do but it's still hard work. I'd love to take a ride on your airboat sometime. I'm sure it's fun to watch you play with a gator.

[Speaker 2] Anytime! I'd love the company. People are less interested in gators than you'd think. They get a bad rap. Have you bought any amazing items recently? I've seen lots of sales lately.

[Speaker 1] They're surely not all child eating monsters, right? Yeah I recently bought the most comfortable neckpillow I have ever owned. I am so ready for a vacation.

[Speaker 2] Not all of them, anyways. Is it a memory foam one? I have one and it's awesome - making traveling and relaxing much easier. Have you decided where you want to go?

[Speaker 1] It is! Comfort is essential no matter where you are. There's an eyewear design conference in Seattle that I've had my eye on for a while now. I hope I have time to explore the city after the conference. Hmm... Maybe we could go on a road trip there? I know you don't like the city but I think it would be fun.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. Anytime I can get in my car, crank the tunes and get some miles on the roads in - I am usually done for it. I love driving and the road - makes me feel free!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I'm excited for the day that you can finally get your Camaro. It might not be the best for road trips but I can see you cruising around and having a blast.

[Speaker 2] Not great on the gas, true! But it'll be fun for smaller roadtrips. Big Sur would be fun with it, zipping around the corners with those gorgeous views.

[Speaker 1] That sounds heavenly. I need to make some time to get away from work so I can be there for the maiden voyage. That's a memory to treasure forever.

[Speaker 2] Life is too short to work all the time - remember that! Take some time for you, you won't regret it.

I have a favorite sweat suit.

I recently bought a very comfortable neckpillow.

I'm hoping to go to Seattle for an eyewear design conference.

I work as a gator hunter. I have been in trouble with the law, which makes it difficult for me to find work. An alligator once tried to chew on me.

I love the outdoors.

I have a neckpillow, and I love it for traveling and relaxing.

I want to go to Big Sur.

[Speaker 1] I decided to book that Seattle trip! Any chance you can join me?

[Speaker 2] I would love to! I need to get away for a while, there are some great roads out there, we could rent a car and go driving! when is your trip booked?

[Speaker 1] I plan to book by the end of this month

[Speaker 2] oh great, then we can talk about dates! summer is the perfect time to visit seattle. a lot of outdoorsy stuff we could do. where would you want to visit?

[Speaker 1] I would like to visit the space needle. It must be an eye catching thing and what about you?

[Speaker 2] it certainly is. I visited when I was a kid, and it was pretty amazing. I would love to visit Pike Place Market for some fresh fish. I hear there is a pretty cool tour you can go on that takes you right into the water, too! you've got me really excited talking about this trip, now we have to book it! how were you able to get the time off work?

[Speaker 1] Oh really ! but this is my first time I'm going to see the space needle. I even don't know about Pike Place Market and I'm very eager to visit these places with you and we should book as soon as possible.  Getting time off from work is little difficult but anyhow I need to spend some time for myself right.

[Speaker 2] yep, it has to be a priority. good for you. it sounds like we will both be using our neck pillows soon, I can't wait. although, there are no alligators up in seattle. I dont know what I am going to do! will you be able to take me shopping and show me some of your fashion sense?

[Speaker 1] You would be enjoying more if there are gators. Sure I'm very excited to go shopping with you and show you the eyewear design. Once my conference is over we will be having great fun in Seattle I hope.

[Speaker 2] I think so. Then we can be off and planning our next trip to Big Sur! perhaps we can make it a yearly thing to take a trip together. then at least we would have something to look forward to every year

I have a favorite sweat suit.

I will has booked a trip to Seattle. I will will book a trip to Seattle by the end of the month. I will would like to visit the space needle.

I love the outdoors.

I want to go to Big Sur.

I visited Seattle when I was a kid. I likes the water.

I likes alligators. I likes shopping.

[Speaker 1] I finished all my eyewear designs and I was able to get time off work!

[Speaker 2] That's really great that you finally get some time off! Are you still planning to go to Seattle?

[Speaker 1] I know right, I'm so glad I won't have to think about work for a bit. I'm actually in the process of choosing a hotel at the moment! I'm really excited. Do you have any trips planned?

[Speaker 2] I think you're going to love it there - I went there as a kid and I remember I had a great time. Nowadays I prefer the great outdoors! I haven't booked it yet but I really want to go to Big Sur this year.

[Speaker 1] I'm beginning to enjoy the great outdoors much more than I did when I was younger; I do like city breaks but every now and then it's great to be out in the fresh air with stunning views. The Big Sur is meant to be a beautiful place, I hope you are able to go. I've never actually been to California before!

[Speaker 2] I really hope so too - I'd book it right away if I had the money! It's a long story but I've had trouble finding work lately. I'm okay for money but I'm saving up for my dream car so I have to balance that with potential trips! You'd love California, maybe we can go there together sometime if you can get the time off work!

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that; what kind of work are you looking for ideally? I hope you are able to find something soon. Hopefully you'll get the job, get the dream car and then yeah let's think about a California road trip!!

[Speaker 2] I'm a gator hunter. It's hard to get the licence though, I got into a bit of trouble with the law last year. I have a backup plan though, I'd love to get a job working with cars. I'm totally up for that road trip!

[Speaker 1] Haha well maybe if you get a job with cars you might be able to get a discount on your dream car! I'm sure something will come up, even if you have to work a job which isn't the most ideal for a while! Out of interest, what would your dream car be?

[Speaker 2] A 1981 Camaro! My father had one when he was young so it means a lot to me. I've been saving up for one for years! You're right, maybe I could get a discount if I work with cars. I will keep my fingers crossed!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, what a classic! I know that color isn't everything but what color would you like it to be? I'm looking at some on Google images; some seem to have a stripe down the side, or a different color on the hood.

[Speaker 2] I'd love a blue one, or maybe white with a blue stripe. But they are quite hard to get hold of these days so I would probably take any colour I could find!

I have a favorite sweat suit.

I took time off work.

I enjoy the outdoors and the city. I've never been to California.

I love the outdoors.

I want to go to Big Sur.

I likes alligators. I have trouble getting a license for gator hunting.  I likes shopping.

I'm saving for my dream car. My backup plan is working with cars. My dream car is a 1981 Camaro because my father had one. I've been saving for my car for years. I'd like a Camaro with some blue.

[Speaker 1] I booked my hotel for Seattle

[Speaker 2] No way!  What kind of eyewear designs are you bringing?

[Speaker 1] don't know haven't decided yet but I will be bringing quite a few different ones, the ones I see as my best so I can impress while i'm there.

[Speaker 2] Are you looking to make connections in the industry?

[Speaker 1] Yeah as many as possible and to get my name out there.

[Speaker 2] What is your end goal?

[Speaker 1] I think it is just to be a top world designer and to have celebrities coming to me for my designs that would be amazing.

[Speaker 2] That would be pretty cool.  I hear Cardi B might even be there?  You need to dress to impress.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be cool if I got to meet her. I will be wearing my best designer clothes and glasses I got to look my best.

[Speaker 2] How many hours of work are you putting into this?

[Speaker 1] I don't stop all day, at the moment I'm putting in every hour I can each day even in the evenings i'm designing things.

[Speaker 2] Like 60 hours a week?  Sounds like this means a lot to you.

[Speaker 2] Nah, I live with my grandparents and they don't like animals.

[Speaker 1] I love animals. Always have..

[Speaker 2] Yeah, maybe someday when I move out of this tiny apt.

I live in Florida.

I have a cat. I'm an animal lover.

I work at a restaurant.

I don't care for baseball.

[Speaker 1] I went to go see the Mets in NYC last week.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? How was the experience?

[Speaker 1] It was fantastic, I loved baseball as a kid and always watched the Mets play on TV but never got to see a game in person, and I finally did, it's a childhood dream come true.

[Speaker 2] That is fantastic! I am so happy for you!

[Speaker 1] Honestly I don't like football but I'm just curious have the Dallas Cowboys played a game recently? I remember you really like them and heard that they played.

[Speaker 2] They are playing the Bucs in September!

[Speaker 1] Sweet might watch that, all my friends have been talking about them recently don't know why. You might since you're such a big fan of them.

[Speaker 2] Yes I am very excited about that particular game and this upcoming season!

[Speaker 1] What's so special about the Bucs, are they like the Dallas Cowboys' rivals or something like that?

[Speaker 2] They were the Super Bowl champions last year!

[Speaker 1] So that's why they're so popular, my interest is piqued. Despite me not liking football I might actually enjoy it!

[Speaker 2] You should definitely give it a chance!

I live in Florida.

I have a cat. I'm an animal lover.

I like the NY Mets team. I went to a New York Mets game last week. I've been a baseball fan since I was a kid. I grew up watching the Mets on TV. I hadn't been to a live game until last week.

I'm not a big football fan. I want to try watching football.

I work at a restaurant.

My favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. I'm excited to watch the Cowboys play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I don't care for baseball.

[Speaker 1] Do you go watch the Cowboys play live often?

[Speaker 2] I do every chance that I get! If the game is on, you can bet I'm watching it! Have you ever watched them?

[Speaker 1] Only on TV! I still prefer baseball, but maybe I'll switch over to the dark side. Do you live in Dallas?

[Speaker 2] Sadly no, otherwise you could bet I'd be at every home game.

[Speaker 1] Haha I can only imagine how much of a superfan you'd be! Whereabouts do you live?

[Speaker 2] I live in the midwest. My grandparents own a farm, so when I'm not at the restaraunt I'm usually helping with the animals.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds lovely! What sorts of animals do your grandparents have?

[Speaker 2] Mostly pigs and cows. There is one horse, Bucky, but as you can tell by his name- he's not very fond of giving rides.

[Speaker 1] Ha! That's such a cute name! How long have they had Bucky?

[Speaker 2] He's around twelve years old. So he's not terribly old, but he acts like he is.

[Speaker 1] Aww I'd love to meet Bucky! Maybe when I have some vacation time I'll take my husband out there. We usually go to the Bahamas or the Virgin Islands on vacation, but a change of scenery might be a good idea.

[Speaker 2] The midwest is nice and calm. You'd definitely be welcome to come and visit. What are the bahamas like? I always wanted to go.

I live in Florida.

I have a cat. I'm an animal lover.

I have never seen the Cowboys play live.

We usually go to the Bahamas or the Virgin Islands on vacation.

I work at a restaurant.

I don't care for baseball.

I live in the midwest. My grandparents own a farm. My grandparents keep pigs and cows and one horse. Their horse, Bucky, is twelve years old.

[Speaker 1] So whereabouts in the midwest are you living at the moment?

[Speaker 2] I'm actually living in Minnesota right now, but I go into Wisconsin for work. I'd love to visit Florida sometime. Do you like living there?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I do. It's great here. Do you like the beach?

[Speaker 2] Honestly I'm not sure! I've only ever been to the lakes region, so I've never been to a beach on the ocean. I love swimming, though. Do you visit the beach often, being so near to it?

[Speaker 1] At least once a week. You should really visit the beach!

[Speaker 2] Maybe I will someday! It would take me so long to drive there, though. I'd have to fly. I

[Speaker 1] Do you like to fly?

[Speaker 2] I've actually never been on a plane before! Do you take a plane when you go on vacation to the islands? I've always wondered if it's scary, being so high up there.

[Speaker 1] I do. I've flown many times. It's not scary at all.

[Speaker 2] I'm so scared of heights, I'm not sure if I would do well. Do you have any big fears like that?

[Speaker 1] I'm very afraid of the dark.

[Speaker 2] Oh, wow, really? Did something happen when you were a kid or something?

I have a cat. I'm an animal lover.

I live in Florida and enjoy it. I visit the beach often.

I'm afraid of the dark.

I work at a restaurant.

I don't care for baseball.

I live in Minnesota. I work in Wisconsin. I would like to visit Florida.

I love swimming.

I have never been on a plane. I am scared of heights.

[Speaker 1] Do your grandparents name their farm animals?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they do.  I bet you can't guess what one of the pigs name is...

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh that's so cute! Is it Babe? Or Wilbur??

[Speaker 2] It's actually dinner.  Ha!  The funny part is that they're vegan.

[Speaker 1] Ha! That's hilarious! I would never have expected that! I think farm animals are so cute. I mean I think most animals are cute but farm animals are adorable!

[Speaker 2] What's your favorite farm animal?

[Speaker 1] Hmmm probably baby pigs or new baby calfs. They are super cute! I'd love to have more animals besides just my cat but we travel so much it just wouldn't work out.

[Speaker 2] You can't just sneak a calf into your place?

[Speaker 1] I mean I could but the hubby and I are never home. We travel so much for fun and for work that there would be no one to take care of it. We just got back from the Bahamas a couple of days ago.

[Speaker 2] Fun!  Any recommended spots to check out?

[Speaker 1] Well we have a timeshare down there so we kind of just enjoy time to ourselves, but honestly I would say do all the touristy things. I know it's cliche but there is so much fun there and it's not super expensive.

[Speaker 2] Like snorkeling and such?  Maybe I'll take a cruise there one day.


I live on the 32nd floor of my building.

I like watching sunsets during summer.

I work as a part time plumber.

My father had a blue dodge truck.

I like to eat poached eggs for breakfast.

A male human.
He has red hair.
He has a thin build.
He wears casual clothes.
He wears glasses.

My favorite breakfast is poached eggs.

My favorite thing to do for fun is sunsets and walks.

I avoid looking at windows because of my fear of heights.

My breakfast was eggs and bacon. My favorite way to make eggs is poached.

My favorite thing to do for fun is going to the gym and rock climbing. I am not afraid of heights.

I have a dog and 2 cats.

[Speaker 1] Good morning, what did you eat for breakfast?

[Speaker 2] I ate some eggs and bacon.

[Speaker 1] Cool, I ate some poached eggs they are my favorite.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? That's my favorite way to make them. What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I love sunsets, and going for walks, you?

[Speaker 2] I like going to the gym, and rock climbing.

[Speaker 1] I am scared of heights, and I live on the top of my building, 32nd floor.

[Speaker 2] Heights don't much scare me. How do you cope with that?

[Speaker 1] I don't look at the windows very much.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a solid plan. I have a dog, and 2 cats. You?

[Speaker 1] No pets, I am scared of dogs because I am a plumber.

[Speaker 2] That's unfortunate. My dog helps me see without my glasses.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool, are you blind?

[Speaker 2] Not fully, yet. But my vision is horrible.

My favorite breakfast is poached eggs.

I have a dog and 2 cats.

[Speaker 1] Are you planning to go to the gym or rock climbing this weekend?

[Speaker 2] This weekend is rock climbing. I absolutely love getting out into nature. The sounds and smells make up for the lack of vision. How about you? What are your plans for the weekend?

[Speaker 1] I bet you will have a wonderful time! I am hoping to get in a sunset drive near the Blue Ridge mountains. I am looking forward to escaping the city for a bit

[Speaker 2] Does the fear of heights not hit as hard if you are in a car?

[Speaker 1] No, not at all! I feel quite safe. Plus, it's not like we have to get too close to the edge!

[Speaker 2] It is funny how fears work, isnt it? Have you spent any time hiking in the mountains? I bet there are some nice trails out there. I can imagine what the rock climbing scene is like.

[Speaker 1] It really is! Now don't get me wrong, I don't usually do any of the driving when we are up in the mountains. THAT is scary! Haha! Yes. There is a huge rock climbing scene. I don't know any of the spots by name though. You should look into it!

[Speaker 2] I would love to but dont have anyone to take care of the cats if I am out of town for very long. The dog might like the trip though. Would you like to meet up if I end up out that way? I can try to find somewhere to leave the dog for a little while.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a great idea! Let me know if you are able to find a petsitter. I am not sure how I would do with your dog.

[Speaker 2] I will see what I can do. Sometimes I get a little lost without him but I can still get around decently. Too bad there isnt an exercise that helps your vision.

[Speaker 1] I tried exposure therapy once, but it didn't really help

[Speaker 2] You find ways to deal with it. I can still make my own breakfast, even if the eggs have to be poached, so I am not helpless yet. Have you had any luck finding a new place yet? I am sure you would like to get out of that high-rise!

My favorite breakfast is poached eggs.

I live in a city near the Blue Ridge mountains.  I own a car.

I have a dog and 2 cats.

My dog helps me see without glasses. I have horrible vision. I am almost blind, but not fully. I live alone.

I enjoy outdoor activities.

[Speaker 1] I have plans to look at a couple of new places this weekend!  They still haven't fixed the elevator in my building.

[Speaker 2] Oh man alive, I have no idea how you're making it down from the 32nd floor and back up again every day! That's insanity. Are you at least getting some kind of discount on rent?

[Speaker 1] I sure haven't needed to get to the gym in the last 2 weeks, haha. I have been fighting with them about getting me a discount, but I have not had any luck.

[Speaker 2] That surprises me because it seems like keeping the elevator working in a high-rise building would be a requirement. Maybe try complaining to the city?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I was thinking of going online and getting the number, I can't imagine that what they are doing is legal. They can't expect someone to hike up and down 30+ flights of stairs.

[Speaker 2] Uh yeah no. That's not at all reasonable. I'm sorry, man. So on a better subject, is work still picking up more?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, work has been picking up! We just got a huge contract, so my boss has approved overtime for my team. We have been making some good money.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Do you think you'll use the cash to upgrade your gym membership? I mean, not that you need it now with your elevator situation haha but later, after you move?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I was thinking about it, they have a personalized fitness program that I can add on to my current gym membership. I wonder if it is a good idea?

[Speaker 2] I've had one of those in the past. I think it's a good add -- lots of tips on meal prep, nutrition, all that jazz.

[Speaker 1] I would like to start training for a powerlifting competition, so I would like for them to help me with that goal.

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, when is that happening? I'd be glad to come cheer you on.

My favorite breakfast is poached eggs.

My home is on the 32nd floor. I am scared of heights. I rent, not own, my living space.

I don't have pets. I am scared of dogs. I work as a plumber. I make good money.

I am moving.

I have a gym membership. I powerlift.

I have a dog and 2 cats.

I enjoy outdoor activities.

[Speaker 1] I finally found a new place to move to, and I will only be on the 3rd floor!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's so exciting! When will you be moving in?

[Speaker 1] I hope to be moving in, in 3 weeks.  I think the 3rd floor will be better than the 32nd.  That was just too high for me.

[Speaker 2] True, but I'm sure the view was amazing. Do you have someone to help you move all your stuff?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I hired a team to help come and move a lot of the stuff.  I work out, but I don't think I can do it all by myself.  Have you done any fun outdoor activities lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great. That will be a big help for sure. Recently I've been doing some hikes. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I've done a few hikes in the mountains.  They can be challenging and exhausting.  But once I get to the top of the trail and get the great views, they're totally worth it!

[Speaker 2] Yes, exactly. It's always worth it in the end. I guess it might be hard for you though with your fear of heights.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it has been helpful for sure.  Definitely don't think I'm ever going to get over my fear but it has tamed it some.  Definitely don't think I can do rock climbing like you though! Haha I'm sure that's a great workout though!

[Speaker 2] It is definitely a great workout and a lot of fun. So, what do you do to keep in shape?

[Speaker 1] I mainly spend my time in the gym doing lifting and strength training.  Do you do lifting or anything when you go to the gym?

[Speaker 2] I don't really like lifting. I prefer exercise that requires my whole body to move. I find it more fun and engaging, you know?

My favorite breakfast is poached eggs.

I have a gym membership. I powerlift. I work out by lifting and doing strength training at the gym.

I have found a new place to live in that is on the third floor of a building. I plan to move in 3 weeks. I currently live in or was considering a place on the 32nd floor. I prefer to be on a lower floor. I will have help moving.

I like hiking and thinks getting to the top of a mountain is worth the challenge and exhaustion.

I have a few of heights. My fear has been worse than it currently is. I am too afraid of heights to rock climb.

I have a dog and 2 cats.

I enjoy outdoor activities.

I have hiked recently. I think finishing a hike makes it worth it.

I don't like lifting. I think exercises that move the whole body are more fun.

[Speaker 1] When you go hiking, do you take your dogs with you?

[Speaker 2] I do indeed! If I couldn't take my dog with me, I wouldn't be able to go hiking. My vision is so poor, I'd be afraid of getting lost.

[Speaker 1] Don't be worried! Just take you time and you'll be able to get through a hike!

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the encouraging words! You can only get so far when you can't see though!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I would agree! Why don't you think about getting some contact lenses.

[Speaker 2] I've tried that and they say my eyes are too bad for contacts. It'd be much easier if I could wear contacts though, without a doubt!

[Speaker 1] Oh, that is disappointing. I guess you will just have to stick with glasses for the time being!

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately that's the case, at least for now. I'm contemplating speaking with my eye doctor about the possibility of surgery, just don't know if it'll do any good or not.

[Speaker 1] Surgery would be great, but that scares me that my eyes won't be able to recover from the surgery.

[Speaker 2] Me too - quite a bit in fact! I don't know much about eye surgery and recovery time at all.

[Speaker 1] Well, I would recommend looking up some information online first!

[Speaker 2] I do need to get information prior to speaking to the eye doctor. It's just a matter of time honestly. I need to be able to sit and focus on only that.


I like to play baseball.

I love eating seafood.

I enjoy learning new languages.

I'm currently going for a marketing degree.

I want to design ads in the future.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.
My parents are both from the north.
I lived in alaska for 3 years.
I want to retire on a beach.
I have a small smart car.

I study marketing, but want to design.
I live in Florida.
I play baseball.

I want to retire near a beach.

I lived 3 years in Alaska.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I do not like sports,my parents did though.

I have a smart car.

[Speaker 1] Good morning. I am luciano. How are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm good, I would like to retire on a beach someday, would you?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes!! Right now I am studying marketing, but want to be an ad designer.

[Speaker 2] Really, where are you from. I lived in alaska for three years.

[Speaker 1] I bet alaska has lots of seafood..i love seafood. Florida for me.

[Speaker 2] My blonde hair and blue eyes would seem a little out of place in florida.

[Speaker 1] Lol!! Do you like sports? Baseball is my favorite to play.

[Speaker 2] Not much of a sports fan, although my parents who were from the north were.

[Speaker 1] What part of the north? Do you know any other languages. I love learning new ones.

[Speaker 2] I'm not very smart, but I do own a smart car that is small.

[Speaker 1] Cool. Doing your part for the environment? Nice talking to you today.

[Speaker 2] Yes indeed it was nice to talk to someone new.

I want to retire near a beach.

I lived 3 years in Alaska.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I have a smart car.

[Speaker 1] How's the Smart car?  I'm thinking of getting one but I'm not sure they are comfy to drive.

[Speaker 2] it's pretty comfy like regular cars, im liking it so far. how's life in Florida going for you these days?

[Speaker 1] It's very humid, sunny, and wonderful. I like being by the beach. How do you get used to how cold it is in Alaska? Do you have to wear protective clothing?

[Speaker 2] im still not used to the cold here lol, but have to be here for my work. can't wait to retire somewhere sunny

[Speaker 1] Where would you go after retirement? I heard areas closer to the equator are warmer. Is it better to have a smart car in Alaska than a gas fueled one?

[Speaker 2] maybe Florida, who knows, anywhere that has sunshine all year round! and yah it does save me some gas money

[Speaker 1] That's good! Is it hard getting around in Alaska? I bet it's scary driving in all of the snow and ice. I would be very nervous. I don't blame you for wanting to move somewhere sunny. I don't think I would be able to move somewhere without a beach. It's beautiful.

[Speaker 2] yah it can be scary driving int he slush sometimes. i try not to drive when there's a snowstorm or anything

[Speaker 1] Are blizzards really common where you are? I heard some of Alaska isn't too bad and it's bright quite a lot. I also heard it can get really dark when it's around the winter season. I've always been curious how hard it is to survive in Alaska.

[Speaker 2] the weather can get bizzare here, you probably wouldn't like it here either lol, outdoor basketball is certainly out of the question

[Speaker 1] I guess baseball would be out of the question. Have you ever seen a polar bear since living there? I don't think I'd be good at driving there either. I'd have to learn, again.\

[Speaker 2] oh yes, forgot i did see one, it's very cute and majestic lol

I study marketing, but want to design.
I live in Florida. I live by the beach.
I play baseball.
I am thinking of getting a Smart car.

I want to retire near a beach.

I lived 3 years in Alaska.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I find my Smart car comfy.

I live in Alaska. I live in Alaska because of my work. I am not used to the cold in Alaska. I want to retire somewhere sunny.

My Smart car saves me gas money.

I find driving in slush scary sometimes. I try to not drive when there is a snowstorm.

I think Alaska's weather is bizarre. I have seen a polar bear.

[Speaker 1] I told my friends you saw a polar bear and several of them said if you can get pictures they would buy some.

[Speaker 2] I will try next time I am out on an exploration! It is very difficult to get photos. You don't want to stay close by for long, so if you see a polar bear you have to focus on staying away.

[Speaker 1] That would be great! I can't imagine seeing one not in a zoo! Did you get very close to the one that you saw?

[Speaker 2] No I did not. It was far away but I was able to identify it anyway. Have you ever been to Alaska?

[Speaker 1] No, I would love to go there. What season would be best for visiting?

[Speaker 2] I love summer in Alaska! It is beautiful and there is so much to see and do. I will eventually move somewhere warmer (maybe Florida close to you!) because winter is tough here, but summers are magical. You will not be disappointed.

[Speaker 1] That sounds beautiful! How warm does it get in the summer? I'm guessing not 100 like here in Florida sometimes!

[Speaker 2] No it does not get that warm. We have nice warm summers but it does not get too hot. Are you still thinking of getting a smart car? I am debating selling mine.

[Speaker 1] I'm still thinking about getting one. Why are you thinking about selling yours?

[Speaker 2] It isn't practical for Alaska weather. I enjoy it in the summer but I need something more reliable for winter. It is hard to get around in a Smart Car here. I think you would enjoy it in Florida.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the advice. I'm a little worried about switching to a smart car, so hearing that you were thinking about selling yours already made me a little worried. Has the weather been bad for the smart car lately there in Alaska?

[Speaker 2] It is getting better now. I am glad warmer weather is here. I do not enjoy the cold but I have to work here all winter so I don't have a choice!

I study marketing, but want to design.

I live in Florida. I live by the beach.

I play baseball.

I am thinking of getting a Smart car.

My friends want to buy pictures of a polar bear.

I have never been to Alaska. I would love to go to Alaska.

I live where it can be 100 degrees in the summer.

I want to retire near a beach.

I lived 3 years in Alaska.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I find my Smart car comfy.

My Smart car saves me gas money.

I love Alaska in the summer. I plan to move somewhere warmer than Alaska some day. I find winters in Alaska tough and summers magical.

I am thinking about selling my small car. My Smart car is not practical in winter in Alaska.

I have to work all winter.

[Speaker 1] I would like to buy your smart car I could fly one way and drive it home.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I would definitely consider selling it to you as it's not ideal around here with the sort of weather we have.

[Speaker 1] No I bet it isn't it would be ideal for me though here in Florida. Maybe you could send some pictures of it over to me so I can have a look.

[Speaker 2] Yeah sure no problems at all I could use something with a bit more power to get me through the bad weather here.

[Speaker 1] A good 4 wheel drive car is what you want with a big engine. I don't think I could stick all the cold weather you have there.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is what I need. I'm not a big fan of the cold weather I would love to move somewhere warmer I bet the weather is great where you are?

[Speaker 1] It's lovely and warm here most of the time. I love it here and a little smart car would be ideal for me to get around.

[Speaker 2] I will have to search for work somewhere warmer that's all that is keeping me here is my job..

[Speaker 1] Do you have anywhere in paticular you were thinking of moving to?

[Speaker 2] No not really just somewhere warmer that I can get a decent job.

[Speaker 1] I would get on some job searching sites then and see what you can find maybe something here in Florida.

[Speaker 2] Yeah the weather is good there, I will have to start looking to see what I can find.

I study marketing, but want to design.

I live in Florida. I live by the beach.

I play baseball.

I am thinking of getting a Smart car.

I willing to buy your car. I like my car to get around.

I want to retire near a beach.

I lived 3 years in Alaska.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I find my Smart car comfy.

My Smart car saves me gas money.

I have to work all winter.

I will consider your offer.

I like warm weather. I search for work somewhere warmer. I will search jobs in Florida.

I didn't thinking about moving.

[Speaker 1] What is your thought of buying my car?

[Speaker 2] It might not be the best idea to buy my car, especially if you want to drive it to Alaska

[Speaker 1] Ya I have been reading up on them since we talked about that a few days ago and came to the same conclusion. I still want to buy one, but maybe in the future.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking the same thing, visit Alaska first with a car that can handle the cold, then buy a Smart car

[Speaker 1] Hey is it true they give all Canadian residents $1000 to live there? Maybe I could use that money on a down payment haha! I had a chance to read up on Alaska last night and learned your mosquitos are savage and almost as big as a regular car, much less a smart one! That's crazy!

[Speaker 2] Yes the moquitos are horrible but atleast they are gone in the winter, i am pretty sure you have to be an Alaskan resident for a year  before you get the 1000, how about you, how do you like living in Florida?

[Speaker 1] Well you know, i mentioned the temperatures in the summer over >100degF so that part stinks, but it is pretty enjoyable as long as you don't live close to a tourist destination and also are used to driving super slow behind all the old people.

[Speaker 2] No wonder you want to buy a smart car then haha, you could just put it on autopilot and let it handle the slow traffic!

[Speaker 1] Oh I forgot to ask you... Did the manufacturer provide you with an estimated date of how long the batteries would last? I was just reading recently that the batteries cost more than replacing the car and are really polluting up the environment.

[Speaker 2] I would have to check the owners manual on how long they are guaranteed to last, it is true that batteries pollute but much less so than using gas or diesel.

[Speaker 1] I saw a picture in a news article depicting thousands of smart cars that some government purchased and then scrapped when it wasn't feasible to replace the batteries in them. It was maybe 10x10 football fields in size, all rusting cars. Sad.

[Speaker 2] That really is sad, such a waste, but i guess that is typical of how governments go about large purchases, they are usually not very frugal


I play drums in a band.

I write my own songs but somebody else sings them.

I grew up on the beach.

I love surfing in the mornings.

My father has a surf shop.

My name is mark.
I'm an alcoholic.
My dad was an alcoholic too.
Now I'm a mechanic.
I've got a baby on the way.

I have never heard of creed.

I play the drums. I am in a rock band.

I like to go to the beach.

I am a songwriter. My father was an alcoholic.

MY name is Mark. I like the band creed. I drink alcohol.

I enjoy playing the drums.

I have an unborn son. My child is due to be born in July.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, what kind of music do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 2] Heyyy I'm mark! I've been drinking a little this morning but I like creed the best.

[Speaker 1] Huh, I haven't heard much of them. What genre are they?

[Speaker 2] They're a rock band I listen to them in the shop. I'm a mechanic.

[Speaker 1] Ah, that sounds cool! I actually play drums in a rock band myself.

[Speaker 2] I like to play drums myself when I've been drinking.

[Speaker 1] Ha, I prefer to drink on the beach where I grew up.

[Speaker 2] I want to take my kid to the beach after he is born.

[Speaker 1] That sounds wonderful! When is he due?

[Speaker 2] In july. Hopefully he won't be alcoholic like me and dad.

[Speaker 1] That actually reminds me of a song I wrote about my alcoholic father.

[Speaker 2] I would love to hear this song.

[Speaker 1] I think it's a great song. I composed it, but my friend mike sang it.

[Speaker 2] I'm mark and your friend is mike, that has to mean something.

I have never heard of creed.

I play the drums. I am in a rock band.

I like to go to the beach.

I enjoy playing the drums.

[Speaker 1] Ive got that song for you to hear ready, let me know when you want to listen?

[Speaker 2] Send me the link to the song! I'll listen to it at work tomorrow. Is it a song from your band?

[Speaker 1] Yes! Our newest single! Thanks for the support! We need to get together and jam soon.

[Speaker 2] You're welcome! I'd love to jam and I'm really on point with my drumming skills lately. When's the next jam session at your garage?

[Speaker 1] I usually have people over almost every Saturday night. Why don't you stop by this weekend?! You can check out my drum set.

[Speaker 2] I'll be there! I have to work at the garage on Saturday until 5, but I'm free after that. Maybe you could play your drum kit and I'll sit in on percussion like bongos and stuff.

[Speaker 1] That works! We can always rotate instruments. My friend has an awesome electric guitar.

[Speaker 2] This is going to be killer! I have to get my fun and wild antics in before my son is born! After that, the missus will have me on a tight leash.

[Speaker 1] Haha. We'll have to break you out of the house some days! I know you are going to make great parents!

[Speaker 2] Right on! I appreciate the compliment. Have you got any kids of your own?

[Speaker 1] I don't. I am not sure if parenting life is for me. But who knows! Maybe if I meet the right person some day. Are you excited to be a dad?

[Speaker 2] It shouldn't be too hard to pull a hot babe, what with you being a rock star and songwriter. Yes, I'm excited but also terribly nervous. I just want to be a great dad, and I know it's going to be tough.

I have never heard of creed.

I play the drums. I am in a rock band and we have a new single. I have jam sessions in my garage every Saturday night.

I like to go to the beach.

My father was an alcoholic.

I am a songwriter.  I have a friend named Mike. i compose songs for others to write.

I don't have children.  I'm not sure I want to be a parent.  I am not currently in a relationship.  I date women.

I work as a mechanic. I listen to music at work. I work at a garage.

I enjoy playing the drums. My drumming skills are on point. I play bongos and other percussion instruments as well as drums.

My child is due to be born in July. My partner is pregnant with out son. I'm excited about becoming a parent but also nervous.  I want to be a good father.

[Speaker 1] I sent you that copy of my new single..  I'm really excited to hear what you think, particularly about the drumming.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I'm excited to give it a listen. Hopefully it arrives soon. Did you write the song too?

[Speaker 1] Yup, it was inspired by Creed, I want to be a singer and songwriter.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad we are both really into music! When you get famous maybe you can let me play on a few tracks of your album... if you need a bongo guy, I'm your man! LOL

[Speaker 1] That would be so awesome lol! My band drinks alot though everytime we celebrate after a gig, I gotta be careful not to end up a alcoholic like my dad

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's true. You gotta be a little careful there. But you're a smart guy - I believe in you. Just concentrate on your work!

[Speaker 1] Haha thanks, I'm still pissed about getting fired from my job though, so just taking a break and focusing more on dating at the moment, just having some fun

[Speaker 2] Nothing wrong with that. I'd be pissed too but also would be super pumped for some time off! You need to get yourself a lady haha

[Speaker 1] Haha yah maybe one day I will settle down with a good lady like you. How are you and your partner doing? When is your baby due?

[Speaker 2] We're doing pretty good. She's getting a little antsy about having this better - she's ready for our son to be out of her belly that's for sure. Getting more and more nervous though!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like an exiting time! Happy for you man. Get your bongo jam sessions in now before the baby comes lol

[Speaker 2] Haha right!? Probably won't be able to bang those things for a while after the baby is born. Might have to hit up one of your Saturday jam sessions to get some bongo-ing in!

I have never heard of creed.

I like to go to the beach.

My father was an alcoholic.

I don't have children.  I'm not sure I want to be a parent.  I am not currently in a relationship. I'm single but actively dating women.

I want to be a singer.

I recently lost my job. I'm not currently looking for a job.

I'm going to be a father to a baby boy.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought of a name for your son yet?

[Speaker 2] He's gonna be little Scott! I can't wait until I can say hi to him.

[Speaker 1] Wow! Will you call him Scotty or will you stick to the formal name?

[Speaker 2] I think Scott at first, then I'll let him decide what he wants to be called, or if a nickname fits. Drives me nuts when people call me Markus, so I'd prefer to keep it simple haha. But yeah, I've been thinking about the name for a while. Long before we knew we were gonna have him. You ever think about what you'd name kids of yours?

[Speaker 1] Maybe something music related? Like Hendrix or Jovi or something like that. Do you think that would cause too many problems in life for a kid, being named after a famous person?

[Speaker 2] I'll be honest in saying that Scott Stapp from Creed is a big inspiration for the name, haha. As well as a cousin's. Of course, that name can blend in. But Hendrix and Jovi would be great names. And I mean, shoot, kids aren't gonna be catching the importance of those names on the regular, anyway. I think those can "blend in" in that sense, but still be unique and strong.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, and maybe they'd sound pretty retro! Though I'm not having kids any time soon. You really do love Creed, don't you! I still can't believe I'm not familiar.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I know it's in a weird spot for people. Familiar and corny for some people, and completely unknown by others haha. It's what I grew up with. It gave me a lot of confidence when I needed it. What do you hope your songwriting does for other people?

I have never heard of creed.

I like to go to the beach.

My father was an alcoholic.

I want to be a singer.

I think of naming my child after a famous musician. I do not plan to have children anytime soon.

I'm going to be a father to a baby boy.  I will name him Scott.

I dislike nicknames from other people. I have been ready to have a child for a long time.

I also like music and took inspiration from a famous person for my son's name. I have a cousin named Scott. I think names like Jovi or Hendrix are interesting and good because they do not necessarily automatically seem to be connected to music performers.

I do not mind knowing musical groups that are not familiar to other people. Listening to their music gave me confidence when I felt insecure.

[Speaker 1] I just found out a famous singer is interested in one of my songs!

[Speaker 2] Oh that is great! Who is the famous singer?

[Speaker 1] Jon Pardi, he's a country singer.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice, I like country music too!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! Country is my favorite genre. I was raised on the old country.

[Speaker 2] I like the newer country, but that is because I am in my early thirties! Country is the way to my heart!

[Speaker 1] Well I'm definitely telling my age then! My daughter is in her mid-thirties!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Does she like country music too?

[Speaker 1] Not much, now that she's older. She still sings along with a few songs, but is mostly into the Hip-Hop and Rap type of music.

[Speaker 2] I have been working on my drum skills. I would like to start a country band soon!

[Speaker 1] That's great! I love the country band scene. It might be a bit challenging with a child though.

[Speaker 2] Yes, but I am going to do my best to find time to play in the band!
