I love corn. I like to eat chicken.

I am married. I snore.

[Speaker 1] Hey, want to check out my new blog?

[Speaker 2] Sure, how would it interest a dentist?

[Speaker 1] Well it's mostly about my travels abroad. Maybe you'd like it.

[Speaker 2] I would maybe, I am in the midwest so any of that in your blog?

[Speaker 1] Maybe check out my youtube then? I'm a wedding singer.

[Speaker 2] My twin sister is a wedding planner, maybe she could meet you.

[Speaker 1] I actually used to be a veterinarian, but I made so much I quite to travel internationally.

[Speaker 2] Good for you, I am hoping to do the same from my dentistry.

[Speaker 1] I also post vegan recipes on my blog. Are you vegan?

[Speaker 2] Nearly, I love my corn.

[Speaker 1] I'm a vegan because animals are cute, duh.

[Speaker 2] Are they, but some are meant to be eaten, like chicken.

[Speaker 1] No way, I love chickens. Animals are all great.

[Speaker 2] Well if you think so. I snore so much my wife sleeps in another room.

I am a denist.

I live in the midwest.

I love corn. I like to eat chicken.

I am married. I snore.

[Speaker 1] I found a great new recipe for vegan fried "chicken" I think you would love.

[Speaker 2] that sounds delicious. I like meat substitutions! they're good for the teth, too. tell me more about this recipe!

[Speaker 1] So you substitute chicken for vegan chicken, regular wheat flour (for the batter) for potato flour, and the egg wash (to make the batter stick to the chicken) for vegan eggs. Oh, and instead of regular buttermilk, I used almond milk with a little vinegar.

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious! I wonder if putting nutritional yeast in would add flavor too. hve you ever tried that?

[Speaker 1] I haven't tried that yet, but that sounds like a good idea! Maybe I'll try it out next time.

[Speaker 2] I like cooking and i'm always trying new stuff. where do you find new vegan recipes?

[Speaker 1] Feasting At Home and Love And Lemons are great vegan food recipe blogs. I find the majority of my recipes there.

[Speaker 2] i'll have to check them out! i've always been a fan of epicurious

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's a nice food blog too! Most food blogs have some sort of dedicated vegan recipe section.

[Speaker 2] i'm so glad it's been catching on as a cuisine type wiht more people. it's so good for the environmetn!

[Speaker 1] Definitely! It's also less cruel.

[Speaker 2] amen to that. animals are so precious. I don't know why humans treat them with so low regard.

I might try putting nutritional yeast in my chicken recipe next time. I find the majority of my recipes in 'Feasting at Home' and 'Love and Lemons'.

I care about animal cruelty.

I am a denist.

I live in the midwest.

I love corn. I like to eat chicken.

I am married. I snore.

I am a fan of epicurious.

I care about the environment. I also care about animal cruelty and wellbeing.

[Speaker 1] I am going to start blogging on my YouTube channel about vegan recipes! Would you like to hear some of my video ideas as a fellow vegan?!

[Speaker 2] I would love to hear your video ideas. Please share them with me.

[Speaker 1] I have them written down, but I just realized the my notebook is in my car and my wife has my car. Do you think that the Youtube channel would be popular?

[Speaker 2] I think the Youtube channel would be very popular. I'm sure there aren't too many channels dedicated to that topic.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I would agree. I am hoping that it launches as I will be using the channel to supplement my income. Do you watch Youtube?

[Speaker 2] I have watched Youtube before, but I do not watch it on a regular basis.

[Speaker 1] I just started watching it a few years ago and I have been amazed at the content that is on Youtube. Thats why I had inspiration to start my own channel.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have heard that you can find almost any topic on Youtube. My son uses it to watch people gaming.

[Speaker 1] I started watching Youtube for DIY content and then it just expanded from there. Now I watch all types of content.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting. I never thought of using Youtube for DIY content. I'll have to remember that.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, you should check it out, Maybe when you're on Youtube, you can subscribe to my channel and keep and eye out for my videos?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I will definitely subscribe to your channel and watch for your videos.

I care about animal cruelty.

I have a car. My wife has my car right now.

I would like to supplement my income with the money from my YouTube channel. I only started watching YouTube a few years ago. The content on YouTube inspired me to start my own channel.

I originally watched YouTube for DIY content. I now watch YouTube for all kinds of content.

I am a denist.

I live in the midwest.

I love corn. I like to eat chicken.

I am married. I snore.

I am a vegan. I like meat substitutes. I like cooking vegan food. I am always trying new foods.

I am a fan of epicurious.

I don't know of too many vegan YouTube channels. I don't watch YouTube that much.

My son watches people gaming on YouTube.

I never thought to look up DIY content on YouTube. I plan to subscribe to the YouTube channel and watch vegan recipe videos.

[Speaker 1] My first video is up on my channel would you like to check it out?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I would like to check it out! How long have you had the YouTube channel?

[Speaker 1] Only for about four months, but I already have a over 5000 subscribers!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that is incredible! I bet that the YouTube channel has been very helpful in your business' success! I am going to subscribe to your channel too!

[Speaker 1] Thank you, I very much appreciate that you want to subscribe. It has been great so far. I am hoping to reach 1 million by the end of the year. I would be very interested to hear your opinion once you see some of the videos.

[Speaker 2] Well, I can certainly give you some feedback and I can help to spread the word, so you get more viewers if you would like,.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, thank you. On another note, have you got any plans for the weekend?

[Speaker 2] I do not have many plans. I am hoping to go out on a bike ride or a walk with my friend. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I love going for walks so that is my plan too. Do you have any favourite places to go walking? I have few amazing parks nearby.

[Speaker 2] I like to go to my local park too, they have a 3 mile loop with beautiful scenery along the train.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. 3 miles is a great distance, probably one of my favourite ones for running. Do you enjoy running too or do you prefer to go on your bike?

[Speaker 2] I like to go running, but I prefer my bike since I can cover a greater distance at once.

I care about animal cruelty.

I'm starting a blog on my channel about vegan recipes. I have had a youtube channel for 4 months. I have one video on this channel. I plan to make more videos. My channel has 5000 subscribers.

My youtube channel is related to my business. My goal is to reach 1 million subscribers by the end of the year.

I live by a few amazing parks. I love walks. I run.

I am a denist.

I live in the midwest.

I love corn. I like to eat chicken.

I am married. I snore.

I am a fan of epicurious.

I like bike rides and/or walks with friends. I like my local park. I live near a train.

I like running but prefer biking. I like being able to travel long distances.

[Speaker 1] I've gotten 500 new subscribers to my youtube channel and am encouraged by the feedback! There are some troll comments, as expected, but mostly positive ones.

[Speaker 2] Wow! 500 new subscribers is great! It is pretty annoying how some people think they have to be trolls. It's like they forget a real person is on the other end of that comment they're making!

[Speaker 1] I know. I think it's because I'm vegan and I do crossfit and have so many social media followers...that people just get jealous and say mean things.

[Speaker 2] oh yeah, it's pretty common for jealous people to say mean things. I say just be you, and rise above the nay-sayers. Crossfit looks pretty challenging. Is it hard?

[Speaker 1] It's all about believing in yourself and the power of positive thinking. I just love my Crossfit coach. He has very nice children as well.

[Speaker 2] That's great. When you're talking about fitness (or any kind of self-improvement) it's important to have a great support team. Do you and your wife have any kids?

[Speaker 1] We're a little too busy to have kids right now. Between my working on videos and my wife having private lessons with our Crossfit trainer 4 nights a week, it's tough to even think about kids.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. Do you promote your YouTube channel on other social media, like Facebook or Instagram?

[Speaker 1] I post about it on all of my accounts but I don't really know what else to do. I need to go viral somehow. Maybe I can get chased by a bear or something.

[Speaker 2] Wellll....I'm not sure getting chased by a bear is the *best* way to get followers. But, I think it probably *would* go viral! lol!

[Speaker 1] I'm certainly open to suggestions. I thought I'd be the only vegan travel blogger. It turns out that there are hundreds of us.

[Speaker 2] Aww man, it's hard to find a niche. Hmm, maybe you need a theme, like visiting organic farms on your travels, or something...


I like watching movies.
I work part time in a warehouse.
I like punk music.
I like pizza and burgers.
I enjoy cruising.

Im a mom.
I like to cook healthy.
I like to watch movies.
I live in ca.
Im 30 yrs old.

I like movies.

I try to eat healthy but  prefer pizza and burger.

I work part-time  in a warehouse.

I go on cruising on my free time.

I love movies.

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in California.

[Speaker 1] Hi, do you like movies? I really do.

[Speaker 2] Omgosh, I love movies!

[Speaker 1] Nice, we have something in common. How do you feel about pizza?

[Speaker 2] I love pizza. But I love cooking healthy mostly.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I try, but can't resist pizza and good burgers sometimes...

[Speaker 2] Lol just because I cook healthy doesnt mean I do not splurge haha.

[Speaker 1] Good to hear. What do you do? I only work part time now.

[Speaker 2] I am a mom so I mainly watch my kiddos all day at the moment lol.

[Speaker 1] That's a busy job. Mine is at a warehouse, that's a busy place, too.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am sure that is alot of work!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's why I can only handle part time. I need time for cruising...lol.

[Speaker 2] I love cruising. I am living in california right now, great place to cruise.

I like movies.

I work part-time  in a warehouse.

I go on cruising on my free time.

I love movies.

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in California.

[Speaker 1] My kids really wanted pizza so I got to have a bit of a cheat day.

[Speaker 2] Oh I love pizza too! That sounds like the best cheat day! What's your favourite toppings?

[Speaker 1] Anything with meat! Pepperoni, sausage, ham... I love it all. And extra onions for my vegetable servings, of course. How about you? What do you like?

[Speaker 2] I love meat pizzas too, chicken, ham and then sweetcorn and pineapple. Those are my favorites. Are you a stuffed crust lover or do you prefer without?

[Speaker 1] Oh I LOVE it, but I insist we order it without because I don't have a metabolism like the kids do. I'd have to exercise more if I let myself eat that.

[Speaker 2] Yes I completely agree, I'd love to be able to eat like the kids but my metabolism is not as fast as it used to be. My guilty pleasure is getting a takeaway whilst watching a really good movie with the kids.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. What kinds of movies do you watch together? Are they still into just kids' movies?

[Speaker 2] Well we like to watch Disney movies really, the kids favorite is Moana. Do you watch a lot of movies with your kids on your rest days?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely, though we have very different tastes. I prefer watching comedy movies that aren't really good for kids, so I rarely get to see what I want. I can't wait till they're older and I never have to see Frozen again!

[Speaker 2] Haha that's hilarious, I completely understand that. The only way we got over watching Frozen was me introducing Moana to the kids! Now we've been stuck on Moana for a month or so. If only I got chance to watch movies on my own, I'd love to watch a couple of horror movies.

[Speaker 1] Oh gosh yes. Can't let the kids see those. I'll never forgive my mom for letting me see Gremlins and Ghoulies as a kid. I had nightmares for weeks!

[Speaker 2] I know, if only they were old enough! You see it was Jaws for me, my mother let me watch it after me complaining about not being able to watch, it and trust me I wish I never complained. I had to take showers instead of baths due to the fear of deep water. How stupid!

I work part-time  in a warehouse.

I go on cruising on my free time.

I have kids. My kids wanted pizza. My favourite pizza toppings are meat and extra onions. I love stuffed crust pizza, but I don't order it as I'm trying to watch my weight.

I watch movies with my kids. I prefer comedy movies, but they're not appropriate for kids. Gremlins and Ghoulies gave me nightmares as a kid.

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in California.

My metabolism is not what it used to be. My guilty pleasure is watching a movie with a takeaway. Me and the kids like to watch Disney movies. My kids favourite movie is Moana. I'd love to be able to watch horror movies.

[Speaker 1] I've just seen a great trailer for a horror movie on social media! If you can get some time away from the kids, do you want to go watch it with me?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, and since I'll be sneaking away for a bit, can we sneak in a pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza?

[Speaker 1] You read my mind! No kids, a grown-up movie and pizza. Does life get any better than that? lol!

[Speaker 2] Maybe a little better with some cold beer to wash down the pizza and a blanket to hide under during the scary parts!  Do you need me to bring anything?

[Speaker 1] If you'd like to throw a chocolate bar or two in your purse, that would be excellent. Do you have a preference on which of the horror movies that we see?

[Speaker 2] I always have chocolate bars in my purse so not a problem.  Would prefer to avoid slasher type horror movies if possible.

[Speaker 1] How about "A Quiet Place 2?" It's scary and if it's anything like the first one, it won't be gory at all. I can't promise that you won't have any nightmares later, though. lol!

[Speaker 2] I've heard good things about "A Quiet Place 2"!  Sounds like a plan.  Afterwards, perhaps we can watch some good adult comedy to balance out the evening.  How about Horrible Bosses (the first one).

[Speaker 1] That's an easy sale to me! Maybe we can be somewhat grown-up and actually have some trail mix or nuts or some kind of healthy snack as well. We're not getting any younger, right?

[Speaker 2] Thumbs down on the healthy snacks.  Let's go for a hedonistic evening and have some cotton candy and bourbon!

[Speaker 1] I'll bring the Woodford Reserve. I was looking for a reason to crack it open. Cotton candy and bourbon sounds amazing!

[Speaker 2] Bingo.  I have some Blantons that I could bring if you don't want to dip into your stash.  I was at the Buffalo Trace distillery and they let me buy a case!!  Cha ching!

I work part-time  in a warehouse.

I go on cruising on my free time.

I enjoy horror movies.

I also enjoy pizza. I like chocolate bars. I like bourbon.

I love pizza but I also love eating healthy. I love meat pizzas with sweetcorn and pineapple. I like beer. I like bourbon.

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in California.

I'm not a fan of slasher type horror movies.

I like comedy shows as well.

I have been to the Buffalo Trace distillery.

[Speaker 1] Was the movie scary enough for you?  I hope you've recovered from the bourbon consumption.

[Speaker 2] It certainly was. I am still having nightmares! lol. As for the bourbon consumption, I didn't have as nearly as much of it as I would have wanted to.

[Speaker 1] there is never enough bourbon to quell the nightmares. Speaking of nightmares, I am recovering from injuring myself with pizza!

[Speaker 2] Oh no, what happened to you? I hope you didn't cut yourself trying to slice it

[Speaker 1] The kids distracted me and I guess I didn't get a bone out of the chicken and sliced my throat when I swallowed.

[Speaker 2] You are joking right?! That really is a proper nightmare. Has that put you off from eating chicken in the future?

[Speaker 1] No, I will still put chicken on the pizza, but my voice sounds like Freddy Kruger at the moment.

[Speaker 2] LOL. That must be pretty entertaining for the kids when they get their bedtime stories... NOT!

[Speaker 1] lol They are scared to death but are well behaved right now. It was almost worth it.\

[Speaker 2] That's so funny. Kind of like a happy accident. Now that you know that scary voices help with their behaviour you could use it going forward. I might have to try that with mine too.

[Speaker 1] I highly recommend it, but without the injury. Are you sticking to pineapple on your pizza after hearing my story?

[Speaker 2] Noted, thanks :) I think that I will be fine with chicken. I am one of those people who don't particularly enjoy pineapple on their pizza. I would rather have extra cheese lol

I work part-time  in a warehouse.

I go on cruising on my free time.

I enjoy horror movies.

I injured myself while making pizza. I put chicken on my pizza.

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in California.

I like comedy shows as well.

[Speaker 1] Are your kids on any new movie kick recently?

[Speaker 2] They've been really into Frozen lately.  I can't get these songs out of my head!

[Speaker 1] That's a good one. My kids watched that one a million times. I think I know every song by heart!

[Speaker 2] Maybe we can hang out and all watch it together! We can sing along and have a good time.

[Speaker 1] That'd be fun. Have a Disney musical movie marathon! I think my fav of all time is probably Sound of Music, but that's not technically Disney. What's yours?

[Speaker 2] I like La La Land a lot.  Also not Disney, obviously.  It's very good though.

[Speaker 1] I don't think I've seen that one. Is it a kid movie?

[Speaker 2] It isn't.  It's a romantic musical with Leonardo Dicaprio and Emma Stone.  It has a really good story, good music, and a heartbreaking ending.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good! I love Leonardo...I've loved him since I was a kid watching Growing Pains! I haven't had a good sappy movie cry in a minute either.

[Speaker 2] This sounds like the perfect movie for you then.  He's a surprisingly good singer actually.

[Speaker 1] I never realized that! Does he sing in the movie? Now I have to watch it! lol

[Speaker 2] He sings a bunch in the movie! He plays the piano too.  I read that he learned to play the piano just for the movie!


I am a vegan.
I love going to the gym.
I own a jeep wrangler.
I am married.
My husband is a lawyer.

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

I have an husband and we are trying for children.

I am eating vegan and working out at the gym.

My husband is a lawyer. I have a jeep wrangler my husband saved up for and bought.

I have a son and two daughters.

I find kids challenging but so rewarding.

I have a farm and I work hard on it. I live on a farm. I work in the computer industry. I enjoy my work.

I do not like yoga.

[Speaker 1] Hello, tell me about yourself.

[Speaker 2] Good wvwning. I just put my son and 2 daughters to bed..

[Speaker 1] How nice, my husband and I are currently trying for children.

[Speaker 2] I wish you the best. Kids are challenging but it's so rewarsing.

[Speaker 1] I am sure it is, we started eating vegan and working hard at the gym.

[Speaker 2] Wow. I'm working hard on my farm and I wish we had sogs..

[Speaker 1] My husband works as a lawyer, he saved up to buy us a jeep wrangler.

[Speaker 2] That s ecciting. I'm sorry for typing. I can't wait to go to work.

[Speaker 1] What kind of work do you do on your farm, friend?

[Speaker 2] I live on the farm. I actually work in the computer industry.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see, how interesting. I live in la, working as a yoga instructor.

[Speaker 2] I don't personally like yoga. I just really enjoy my work. Have a good night.

I have a son and two daughters.

I do not like yoga.

[Speaker 1] How is the work and how things were on the farm?

[Speaker 2] Work is really good. The farm, however, is enjoyable but hard. How are you and your husband?

[Speaker 1] Farming is a lot of work from what I've heard. You have to rise very early in the morning and do lots of grueling, physical labor. My husband and I are good. He's getting a lot of legal cases lately and I'm doing my yoga thing, so we're getting by well.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I hope that the added stress from work doesn't get in the way of your personal life too much. How is living in L.A. been for you?

[Speaker 1] I do work very hard, but doing yoga itself relieves stress, which helps. I feel better now that I cut meats and animal products out of my diet, and I have the occasional glass of wine for physical and mental health. L.A. is great except for the insane traffic!

[Speaker 2] I have been meaning to switch to a vegan diet but it is a big transition. Have you noticed that your health improved once you cut out meat and dairy out of your diet? I've heard that a vegan diet improves the odds of getting pregnant.

[Speaker 1] I noticed that my body felt cleaner and my mind was sharper a couple of weeks after the transition. I didn't know that being vegan would help me to conceive. I really want a kid badly!

[Speaker 2] I really hope that it happens for you. Maintaining good health will definitely help. I had my kids during a time when I would be going to the gym everyday.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. How are your son and daughters doing?

[Speaker 2] They are good! The little one is going to start preschool next week so here's hoping that she likes it. They really did enjoy seeing you at our anniversary party.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you're excited to see the little tyke start school. I loved seeing your kids, too. It was really fun throwing the baseball with your son.

[Speaker 2] They like to call you Aunt Sarah and have been asking if they could go visit you since you've mentioned that you have a pool in your house.

I drink wine occasionally. I stopped eating meat and animal products.

I want a baby.

I have a son and two daughters. I have a child in preschool.

I do not like yoga.

I am thinking about switching to vegan.

[Speaker 1] It's been a little while! Are you ready for your little one to be in preschool! It's amazing how the time flies! One minute they are born and the next minute they are starting school. How is the farm doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm not ready at all. She grew up too fast! The farm is doing well. The animals are healthy and the crops are growing quite fast!

[Speaker 1] Between the children, the farm and your job, how do you ever find time for yourself?

[Speaker 2] I don't actually. And it's a little worrying. It's bad I don't have any me time right?

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should think again about taking up yoga!  It does help reduce stress.  How is the job going?

[Speaker 2] I know they say it reduces stress, but not being able to do some of the poses makes me more stressed. Business is really good, problem is I am making enough money on the farm to quit, but I really like the job. Not sure what to do

[Speaker 1] I guess you will have to decide if it's worth the extra time if you really don't need the money.  Or maybe hire more help on the farm?

[Speaker 2] But I love the farm work too. Hmm maybe I need to think about this. You really think yoga helps? Do you have any room in your classes?

[Speaker 1] Sure, I can fit you in to one of the beginner classes.  You should find that a lot easier to adapt to.  And yes it definitely helps!

[Speaker 2] Ok, sign me up! When is the next beginner class?

[Speaker 1] I have one that starts in 2 weeks!  I'll reserve a spot for you!

[Speaker 2] Fantastic. I will be there. I'll commit to a few classes because I am pretty sure my stress won't go away after one class

I live in L.A. I work as a yoga instructor. I practice yoga to relieve stress. I am teaching a beginner yoga class in two weeks.

I want a baby.

I have a son and two daughters. I have a daughter in preschool.

I do not like yoga. I am learning yoga. I am joinging a beginner yoga class.

I am thinking about switching to vegan.

I am always busy. I have a job, farm and children.

My farm business is going well. I love working on my farm.

I am stressed out. I am signing up for a beginner yoga class that starts in two weeks.

[Speaker 1] My son has a baseball game tonight, would you like to join?

[Speaker 2] I've got to tend o my farm tonight, but perhaps another time! Good luck to your son.

[Speaker 1] farm? that sounds exciting! Where is the farm located?

[Speaker 2] I have a farm business that I work on, on my property. It is a passion of mine.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that must be fun. My son loves farm animals, especially feeding the chickens. What do you enjoy the most  working in the farm?

[Speaker 2] That's so cute! I'm thinking about getting chickens. I enjoy the reward that comes after all the work. I've had a good season with tomatoes this year, so having lots of tomatoes is cool.

[Speaker 1] Nice, what do you plan on doing with those tomatoes? If I were you, I would make some yummy tomato sauce. You must be lucky, you get to have all the  fresh organic produce.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea, thank you! I haven't had tomato sauce in a while. It's nice to use produce from my farm. Do you have any local farms to buy produce from?

[Speaker 1] No we actually don't, but sometimes on the weekends we have local street vendors sell fresh produce from local farmers

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I often feel like they sell the freshest varieties. What's your favorite fresh produce?

[Speaker 1] Cucumbers and avocados are delicious! I also love the fruits they sell like their apples are always sweeter.

[Speaker 2] I love all of those! Cucumbers are my favorite vegetable. I'm sure your son likes the sweet apples. Is he excited for his game tonight?

I want a baby.

I enjoyed playing baseball with the other speaker's son. My son plays baseball.

My son loves farm animals. My son loves feeding the chickens.

I don't have local farms to buy produce from. I have local street vendors who sell produce from local farmers.

I like cucumbers and avocados. I love the apples sold by local farmers.

I am thinking about switching to vegan.

I've had a good season with tomatoes this year. I haven't had tomato sauce in a while.

I love cucumbers, avocados and apples. Cucumbers are my favorite vegetable.

[Speaker 1] How are the tomatoes coming along? Do you know when they will be ready for harvest? You mentioned you hadn't had tomato sauce in a while!

[Speaker 2] They are doing really good! I think I will not only make tomato sauce, but I will have enough for homemade salsa too! They won't be ripe for awhile yet, but they are looking really good! Hoping the weather stays friendly for all my produce! I'm sure you are too! How has it been by you?

[Speaker 1] It's been crazy hot lately but I guess I'm used to it. Homemade salsa sounds delicious. Do you make it spicy?

[Speaker 2] Hot here too but not oppressive. No, I try not to get it too spicy, cause I like to share it. I figure if people want it spicier they can add some jalepeno to it!! With so much growing on the farm, I am thinking more and more about being a vegan. Do you ever miss meat though?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, yes. Don't tell!!!! I do miss it but some of the plant-based "meat" is really tasty. You have to get used to the texture, which is slightly different, but the taste is good. I like to make meals with lots of vegetables, the more colorful the better. You could always start working the vegan meals into your regular meals and switch over gradually. I could give you some good recipes.

[Speaker 2] You know, in the summer my diet is mostly produce, just because I'm so busy and it's too hot to cook and I think...ya, I can be a vegan. Then winter comes and I'm like...awww give me a good roast beef!! Maybe I'll be a seasonal vegan! Ha!

[Speaker 1] Well if you are doing it for health, that's still not a bad idea! I agree, produce in the summer is the best. I have a recipe I'm dying to try with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil. I can send you the recipe since you have all those tomatoes!!

[Speaker 2] Oh that would be wonderful! My family is always up for something new from the kitchen! Maybe I can even get the kids to help me! Thank you!

[Speaker 1] Do your kids like to help in the kitchen? I used to love helping my mom cook.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they do! I'll tell you what, you send me your recipe and I'll send you one for a good apple pie! I know how you love your apples!!

[Speaker 1] That sounds great... apple pie is one of my favorites. I have been trying to make the crust from scratch but I don't do a great job.

[Speaker 2] Ya, the crust can be tricky, but you know, those premade ones in the store aren't all that bad. I think you'll enjoy this recipe. Try it and let me know what you think!


I'm a carnivore, I eat meat.
I'm 26 years old and I am a workaholic.
I frequently think about going to work.
I'm slightly in debt.
My favorite band is black sabbath.

I am omnivorous.
I like rock climbing.
My favorite band is 21 pilots.
I work in a restaurant.
I enjoy going for a walk.

I have a job. I am on a break right now. I am too busy at work to take up outdoor hobbies.

I love to eat meat.

I like to listen to hard rock like Black Sabbath.

I work in a restaurant. Sometimes I have to work the night shift. I do not enjoy doing the night shift. My restaurant serves all sort of meat dishes.

I think one needs to work hard when they are young to build their career.

I like rock climbing in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I only have a little time as I have to get to work again!

[Speaker 2] Awww, I wil have to work night shift in my restaurant today.

[Speaker 1] Work requires so much dedication! Especially when you're 26..

[Speaker 2] Thats is the time to build a career. Do you like any outdoors?

[Speaker 1] No I'm always too busy working to think about the outdoors, do you?

[Speaker 2] Of course, you will always see me climbing the rock when I am free..

[Speaker 1] Fun! Does your restaurant serve any meat?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, we serve all meat you can ever think of.

[Speaker 1] Yum! I iove meat! I could eat it all the time. I'm like a t-rex.

[Speaker 2] I hope you work out your calories too?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! While I listen to black sabbath of course!

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite work out style?.

I love to eat meat.

I like rock climbing in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] I was watching that rock climbing documentary you recommended. It was amazing how those guys can do gravity defying moves. Are you as good as these guys?

[Speaker 2] Haha I wish!! I love rock climbing but I'm not a pro like those guys - they make it look so easy

[Speaker 1] I sometimes wish I had the time to get outside and take up a hobby.

[Speaker 2] You should try and make some time to get outside it's so good just for your mental health

[Speaker 1] I know it is. It's just any time I have when not working I just want to not be moving around. my job is pretty physically demanding.

[Speaker 2] I can understand that,  it's so hard to balance full time work with trying to have an actual life outside of it!

[Speaker 1] what restaurant do you work at?

[Speaker 2] It's a local Italian place, the food is amazing, lots of pizza and pasta but all home made

[Speaker 1] that sounds really good. italian is one of my favorites

[Speaker 2] Yeah Italian food is awesome - have you ever been to Italy?

[Speaker 1] i have not. have you been?

[Speaker 2] Yes I've been lucky enough to go and I got to sample a lot of the dishes there that my restaurant sells now, especially lots of the meat dishes!

I love to eat meat.

I am too busy at work to take up outdoor hobbies. I recently watched a rock climbing documentary. I wish I had more time to get an outdoor hobby.

My job is physically demanding. When I'm not working, I like to relax and not be active.

Italian food is one of my favourites. I have never been to Italy.

I work in a Italian restaurant. Sometimes I have to work the night shift. I do not enjoy doing the night shift. My restaurant serves all sort of meat dishes.

I like rock climbing in my spare time. I'm not a professional.

I have been to Italy. I got to eat lots of the local food.

[Speaker 1] All that talk about Italian food and your restaurant, I think its time for you to take a night off from the cooking and go grab some food! You want to catch a bite with me in the next few days?

[Speaker 2] I would love that! Do you have anywhere in mind?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. There's a great Brazilian BBQ restaurant that opened up a few months back and people are raving about their meats. Interested?

[Speaker 2] Haha you are all about those meats! I am very interested. It will be nice to get away from Italian...briefly. :)

[Speaker 1] Oh I know you'll be back in it in less than a day. But the picanha steaks has been calling my name for the past month. How about we meet tomorrow after work?

[Speaker 2] Ooo what is that. Tell me it is spicy! Tomorrow is perfect; I will ask someone to cover me

[Speaker 1] Picanha is a sirloin cut that has a nice fat cap on top. It's usually slowly roasted so that the fat can render and the meat becomes tender. Wow I think I'm writing poetry

[Speaker 2] That IS poetry. I am drooling over here!

[Speaker 1] Now I'm getting hungry too. Arg, why did I do this to myself? I'm trying not to snack but I just made it really difficult not to start munching on something...

[Speaker 2] Hahaha I always start munching on celery, but before long it is drowning in peanut butter and probably more calories than a bag of Doritos! Haha it will be great to check out this place with a fellow food lover.

[Speaker 1] Oh you'll love it. We'll have to get some wine too, to wash it all down. Otherwise we'll be stuffed too early!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am guessing it would pair well with a nice red?

I love to eat meat.

I would like to go out to eat.I know of a Brazilian BBQ restaurant that opened up recently.

I like picanha steaks. I know a lot about Picanha steak. I like the flow of what I wrote.

I like to drink wine.

I own a restaurant. I'd love to go eat but I don't have any ideas in mind.

I want a temporary escape from Italian food. I like spicy food. I try to eat healthy but end up snacking on junk.

[Speaker 1] You've inspired me to take a trip to Italy. I just booked my flight a couple of hours ago!

[Speaker 2] That's amazing! When do you leave for Italy? I wish I had your sense of spontaneity!

[Speaker 1] I leave a week from Wednesday!  I can't believe I am actually doing this.  I am usually so content to be at home, but I just thought "what the heck!"

[Speaker 2] Hey, you only live once I guess! Which cities will you be checking out while you're there?

[Speaker 1] My flight goes to Rome so I know I will spend some time there, but I also have my sites set on Florence.  Anyplace you would recommend?

[Speaker 2] See as much of Tuscany as you can! My view is obviously slanted by my background in food, but Tuscany is the culinary capital! Are you into wines at all?

[Speaker 1] I have a feeling that Italy is going to convert me to being a wine connoisseur!  I will add Tuscany.  That reminds me of a song called "The Count of Tuscany" by Dream Theater that is about an experience one of the band members had there!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Well now you have two reasons to visit haha. I'd also suggest seeing Piedmont if you want to explore the wine scene. You can also see Turin and Milan if you go up there.

[Speaker 1] I may need to book another week...in fact, maybe you will be visiting ME the next time you go to Italy.  J/K  But I haven't been this excited since the Sabbath reunion.  LOL

[Speaker 2] Haha wouldn't it be something if they were performing there, too! But lol, I'd love to get back over there. We'll have to go over your plans in detail when we meet at the Brazilian place.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, first things first.  I am really excited about the restaurant too!  All the reviews have been great.  Have you looked at the menu yet?

[Speaker 2] Yeah! It looks like they've got a huge variety of things. They do it round-robin style, so we'll get to try whatever we want!

I love to eat meat.

I like to drink wine.

I want to go to Italy. I booked a flight to Rome. I am excited for my trip to Italy. I am normally content staying home. I also want to see Florence, Tuscany. I would like to eat at the Brazilian restaurant in Italy.

I am not very spontaneous.

I love Tuscany. I think Tuscany is a culinary capital. I think Piedmont has a great wine scene. I suggest visiting Turin and Milan. I would love to visit Italy again. I like a Brazilian restaurant in Italy.

[Speaker 1] I just let my friend know about my trip to Italy and I think they want to join me! I am hoping they do! It would be great to have a travel buddy!

[Speaker 2] How many days will you be in Tuscany? I'm going to ask you to do a favor for me, if you're up for it.

[Speaker 1] 5 days in Tuscany. I'm hoping to make it to Milan as well if I have some time. What's the favor?

[Speaker 2] I'm going to text you the address of a little cheese store. I'm going to call them and place an order and have you pick it up for me? Can you do that?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! Tell me more about this cheese. I may have to pick some up for myself as well.

[Speaker 2] It's a special type of mozzarella that they make. They only use the milk from wild buffalo in Africa. It's pretty amazing stuff.

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds fantastic! I once had an amazing cheese with bits of spicy peppers in it that I think you would love being that you're a big fan of spicy food. I'll see if they have it when I stop by the store.

[Speaker 2] I can't imagine being in your shoes. The fashion in Milan, the wine in Tuscany, the architecture in Rome! I'm so jealous.

[Speaker 1] I'm so excited too! I wish you could come along! Can you take some time off from work? I know it must be very busy at the restaurant.

[Speaker 2] No rest for the wicked, I'm afraid. I'm actually saving up for my next trip to Europe but it's not going to be to Italy this time.

[Speaker 1] Oh do tell! Where are you looking to go?

[Speaker 2] I'm going to go mountain climbing in France. In fact, the mountain we are going to was just in the Tour de France that was on the other day. It got me excited seeing it on television.


I am moving to another state next month.

My favorite football team is the chicago bears.

I went to a very strict high school.

My father used to be the headmaster in my school.

My siblings are all older than me.

I just graduated high school.

I've been stuck in this tiny town for too long.

I'm going on a cross-country trip and never coming back.

I might write my parents a post card some time.

Whatever, I can't wait to be staying under the stars.

I am moving next month to New York. I'm a Chicago Bears fan.

I left home soon after I graduated high school.

I have not been camping.

I recently graduated high school. I graduated high school early. I plan on moving out of my current home.

I plan to travel across the U.S.

I am from a small town. I do not like my hometown. I do not plan on returning to my hometown once I leave.

I plan on going camping.

[Speaker 1] Hi! What are you up to today?

[Speaker 2] Packing my things. I graduated high school early and am gonna leave home.

[Speaker 1] Congratulations! I'm actually moving next month!

[Speaker 2] Maybe we'll bump heads then. I'm gonna venture cross the usa.

[Speaker 1] I'm moving to ny. I hope they don't mind chicago bears fans!

[Speaker 2] I might like nyc. My hometown is a tiny little place I'm tired of.

[Speaker 1] I understand. I left home right after high school too!

[Speaker 2] I might send my parents a post card from nyc, but I won't be returning ever.

[Speaker 1] Did you have a falling out with your parents?

[Speaker 2] Nope. Just this tiny town. Gonna sleep under the stars.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing. My family used to camp before I was born.

[Speaker 2] Camping or big city life, anywhere but here is my destination.

I have not been camping.

I plan to travel across the U.S.

I plan on going camping.

[Speaker 1] What's a place you're very excited to visit once you leave home?

[Speaker 2] I love going to Disney World! My friends and I have planned a trip for this summer as a graduation gift to ourselves. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I've been once, I absolutely loved it! Do you go often?

[Speaker 2] My parents would take me and my brother every other year growing up. We would always drive and I loved seeing other cities and states along the way. This summer will be the first time I go without them so I am a little nervous but excited!

[Speaker 1] Oh that is so exciting, it's always different experiencing things with your friends instead of your family! Did you have to save up a lot to go

[Speaker 2] Yeah, for the past year I have been saving half of my check from working to put towards the trip. Some times it was more difficult than other times. But I wanted to be able to do everything without worrying once I'm there. I love being able to eat at all the different restaurants, especially in Epcot! You should plan a trip there too!

[Speaker 1] Well done, you'll really enjoy it when you're there because you've worked so hard! I don't think it's in the budget for me at the minute unfortunately since I'm moving next month!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I can understand that. Maybe once you get settled in you can start planning something like that. How exciting moving to New York though! Have you found a job there yet?

[Speaker 1] I know - I'm so excited! Yeah I've managed to get a job secured thank god working in a financial company doing a role similar to what I do now. I'm so excited for the change

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Moving on up! And getting locked into anything in the financial world in New York is pretty good job security! Is it true about how hard it is to find a nice place to live? Like, are the apartments really small for the price?

[Speaker 1] Oh God it's been an absolutely nightmare, luckily a friend of mine needed to sublet their apartment so I've been able to take that over for a few months while they go travelling! Honestly, some of the apartments I saw were disgusting

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! Good timing for you with that friend!  I'd tell them to take all the time they need! Haha! Oh gross! Yeah, I need something that is at least clean and I don't have to worry about something crawling on me when I sleep!

I'm a Chicago Bears fan.

I have not been camping.

I have been to Disney world once.

Money is tight right now due to moving house soon.

I m moving next month to New York. I have found a job at a financial company I'm excited about. I am subletting my friends apartment.

I plan to travel across the U.S.

I plan on going camping.

I love visiting Disney World. I am planning to go to Disney world as a graduation gift this summer. I have been to Disney world numerous times as a child. I have never been to Disney world witout my parents. I have been saving up really hard for my trip. I love eating at different places.

I like my space to be clean.

[Speaker 1] So, I just had my first day at my new job! I was super nervous, but everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. The office is super cool too.

[Speaker 2] That's great, what will your role be, and more importantly, is there room for advancement?

[Speaker 1] It's an entry level position, but there's lot's of room for advancement.

[Speaker 2] You might have to switch allegiances to become a NY Giant fan if you want to get in good with your boss!  I actually know a managing director at Goldman that I can connect you with after you have established yourself.

[Speaker 1] Yeah.  The Giant's might be a better team to be rooting for.  It would be great if you could connect me the managing director that you know.  Are you a sports fan?

[Speaker 2] For sure, I am a Yankees fan in baseball and a Giants football fan.  My father and grandfather were fans of both teams so I guess they were passed down to me.

[Speaker 1] Maybe we could go to a Giants game together some time.

[Speaker 2] I can set that up, but you will have to root for the Giants.  I have season tickets that have been passed down for generations and we get all geared up to go to games.  Would you be up to wearing a vintage Lawrence Taylor jersey?

[Speaker 1] Sure, if it gets me a free ticket to the game!

[Speaker 2] Would you be willing to pick up some booze for the tailgate party?  My fake ID doesn't always work.

[Speaker 1] I won't be able to unless I can find someone at work who's willing to buy some for me.

[Speaker 2] No worries, we can pregame at home and bring a couple of flasks.

I'm a Chicago Bears fan.

I have not been camping.

I have been to Disney world once.

I have a new job. Today was my first day. It's an entry level position.

I will wear vintage Lawrence Taylor jersey, if it gets me a free ticket to the game.

I plan to travel across the U.S.

I plan on going camping.

I like my space to be clean.

I know a managing director at Goldman.

I am a Yankees fan in baseball and a Giants football fan. My father and grandfather were fans of both teams. I have season tickets that have been passed down for generations.

[Speaker 1] So do you know some interesting places in NY, which are worth visiting?

[Speaker 2] There are a million places that are worth visiting. Have you ever seen he Statue of Liberty?

[Speaker 1] No, and I want to do that, and go to the Met, but I'm trying to come up with some more out of the way destinations.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure about out of the way, but I think you should see Central Park. It's amazing and there are places that make you feel thousands of miles from the city.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I just figured since I'm going to be living in NYC, I need to start feeling like it's my home.

[Speaker 2] I'll tell you what, when you want, I'll take you to a Yankees game and we'll sit in my dad's seats. Then we'll get some pizza.

[Speaker 1] That would be great!  I may have a hard time getting used to NYC pizza though.  I'm so used to Chicago Style pizza!  It'll be like culture shock!

[Speaker 2] Thin crust for the win! I can't even eat Deep dish pizza. One slice weighs about 20 pounds!

[Speaker 1] Well, I guess we get used to what we grew up with.  How soon will you be leaving for Disney World?

[Speaker 2] I'm taking off on Friday. We're going to be there for the 4th of July. Supposedly the fireworks are going to be awesome.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they will be. WIll you be going to the Epcot center?

[Speaker 2] I haven't made any definite plans yet. I know that I'm going to Universal for a day but other than that, we're just going to play it by ear.

I'm a Chicago Bears fan.

I have not been camping.

I have been to Disney world once.

I am visiting NY. I am moving to NYC.

I like Chicago Style pizza. I grew up in Chicago.

I plan to travel across the U.S.

I plan on going camping.

I like my space to be clean.

I know a managing director at Goldman.

I live in NY. I like Central Park.

I dont like Chicago Style pizza.

I am going to Disney on the Fourth of July. I am going to Universal during my vacation.

[Speaker 1] What pizza places do you recommend in the city?

[Speaker 2] I really love Joe's Pizza and NYC pizza suprema.  You really can't beat those two.

[Speaker 1] I would agree! I love pizza too! What is your favorite kind?

[Speaker 2] Pepperoni is my absolute favorite.  I also love BBQ chicken pizza.  What's your favorite kind?

[Speaker 1] My favorite type of pizza is meat lovers pizza with lots of bacon!

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious!  I also like to make my own pizza when I can.  It's pretty simple and I feel really proud when I make a delicious pizza.

[Speaker 1] I love making my own pizza! I get the pre-baked pizza dough, it comes out great in my opinion.

[Speaker 2] I get that too.  Frozen dough is so convenient and my pizza still comes out soft and delicious.

[Speaker 1] I have never tried frozen dough. The next time that I go to the store, I am going to try the frozen dough and see how it comes out.

[Speaker 2] Good idea.  How has your new job been going?

[Speaker 1] The job has been going pretty good, there is a lot of learning involved, but I think I am doing pretty good so far.

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear!  I know you're capable of doing great things.  I'm sure you'll become the best employee there in no time.


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 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.

I own a smart car.

I used to have a long commute and live in Alaska.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I want to retire one day down South on a beach.

My family came from the North. I prefer the warmth.

I like eggs. I think they are tasty.

I do not drive much. I have a short commute. My father used to have a truck.

I live on the 32nd floor.

I am a plumber and I am balding and overweight.

I think there is nothing better than warm days and cool mornings except maybe a poached egg. I could eat eggs by the truckload.

[Speaker 1] Hey. Just got back from a drive in my smart car.

[Speaker 2] Neat. I don't drive much because I have a short commute.

[Speaker 1] That's good. Mine use to be long. I use to be in alaska.

[Speaker 2] I say short, but I live on the 32nd floor. So, high commute in a way.

[Speaker 1] Ahhh gotcha. What do you look like. I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

[Speaker 2] I am just an stereotypical old plumber. Balding, overweight...

[Speaker 1] Plumbers bum. I see. While one day I'm going to retire down south on a beach.

[Speaker 2] Ah, beautiful sunsets in the summer, I bet.

[Speaker 1] Yes. Especially since my family came from the north. I prefer the warmth.

[Speaker 2] Warm days, cool mornings. Nothing better. Other than maybe adding a poached egg.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I like eggs. They're very tasty.

[Speaker 2] I could eat them by the truckload! If my father still had his truck.

[Speaker 1] Lol. Yeah that would help.

[Speaker 2] Now I am hungry. Anything you prefer?

I own a smart car.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I like eggs. I think they are tasty.

I live on the 32nd floor.

[Speaker 1] I totally aggree! My favorite egg dish is egg bennedict.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean. I think I might whip some up for dinner! How is your smart car? I've thought about getting one.

[Speaker 1] I really like my smart car! It's all-electric, super quiet, and can park itself! I think you should seriously consider getting one.

[Speaker 2] I think I'll look into them. How is Alaska? I've always thought about visiting there.

[Speaker 1] Alaska is very beautiful, and the weather is great, at least in the summertime. Sometimes there are cheap flights to anchorage--maybe you could consider those.

[Speaker 2] I will check them out! How does the daylight effect you during the summer? Isn't it light all night as well?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, there's a phenomenon known as "midnight sun", where it's still light out at midnight. If you live far up north enough, there will be a three-month stretch of the year where the sun does not set at all!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that would be intense! I would probably have to get some black out curtains if I lived there!

[Speaker 1] Yep, that's a must-have in many parts of the state, for sure.

[Speaker 2] I have heard that the scenery is crazy! I would love to see the wildlife.

[Speaker 1] The scenery is amazing. Go on some hikes, especially during the summer, and you'll get to see a bunch of wildlife.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure there are a ton of hikes. I would love to visit some glaciers as well.

I own a smart car. I really like my car.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I live in Alaska and I love it here. I go hiking in the summer.

I live on the 32nd floor.

I've been thinking of getting a smart car.

I've always thought about visiting Alaska. I would have to get some black out curtains to deal with the daylight in Alaska. I would love to go to Alaska and see the wildlife. I would like to visit some glaciers.

[Speaker 1] I just had eggs for breakfast and immediately thought of you! Have you looked into getting a flight here any further? I think there's some great deals at the moment.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? I'll have to look into those flights! How's the weather there these days? I want to make sure I won't be stuck inside all week because of a blizzard!

[Speaker 1] It's actually pretty warm these days! High of 57 yesterday. Have you checked online for any cheap flights?

[Speaker 2] I will check online now. What website do you usually use to find these cheap flights?

[Speaker 1] I like Kayak and Priceline! You probably won't be able to have a carry on bag though. Not without paying waaay more.

[Speaker 2] It's a real bummer that they keep finding ways to charge customers for what used to be standard fare. What's next? Charging passengers for water and bathroom use?

[Speaker 1] I can actually see them adding a credit card slot in the bathroom door. Don't think about all that too much! We will make sure the trip is worthwhile. Poached eggs galore!

[Speaker 2] Yes! Happy thoughts. And what kind of wildlife can I expect to see? Are there any guided tours?

[Speaker 1] Oh, yes tons of both! The elk and the wolves are magical. I will look for some tours. We have a great music scene too!

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds amazing. I would love to see elk and wolves. And what kind of music? Are you talking about festivals?

[Speaker 1] A lot of folk and indie rock! I am talking about dingy dive bars with the best music you've ever heard and sticky floors.

[Speaker 2] Wow, sign me up! Actually I think I found some flights that work for my schedule and price. Thanks so much for the heads up - looks like I'll be seeing you in a couple weeks.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I like eggs. My favourite egg dish is eggs benedict. I know how to make poached eggs.

Kayak and Priceline are good flight websites that I like.

It's warm where I live. There are elk and wolves where I live. The music scene is great in my town.

There is a folk and indie rock scene in my area.

I live on the 32nd floor.

I'm going to check on some flight deals. I don't like the extra charges involved with flying. I am able to work around my schedule to get a good flight for a good price. I'll be going out of town in a couple of weeks.

I plan on seeing wildlife and going on guided tours. I woiuld like to see real elk and wolves.

[Speaker 1] I just told everyone you're coming, they're so excited!

[Speaker 2] Well I guess the decision is made. I better get a ticket. Lets go to a concert while I'm there.

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! We can cram into my smart cart and I will make you poached eggs every morning for breakfast. We will have a balst!

[Speaker 2] That sounds as fun as it will be to finally get to pet a wolf. Maybe we could do eggs just one day?

[Speaker 1] Haha. Eggs only day is fine! I will take you on a tour and we can take sleds pulled by our dogs.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. i'll check priceline tonight.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to go to folk or indie concert or both? I will get our tickets ready.

[Speaker 2] I think a folk concert. I'm more excited about seeing the outdoors. I definitely want to go on a glacier tour

[Speaker 1] We will do all the guided tours in the daytime and folk concerts at night. I am going to make sure you have a great time.

[Speaker 2] Well I planned on coming in the summer. I know its going to be a blast. Is there any sun in the summer at all?

[Speaker 1] Yes, its nice and green in the summer. How do you feel about going whale watching? That a must for most who visit.

[Speaker 2] You can't pet a whale but I guess that sounds fun. Where is the wolf petting zoo?

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I have dogs.

I plan to buy concert tickets. I plan to be a great host for my visitor. I will plan tours in the daytime and folk concerts at night.

I live where it is nice and green in the summer. I live in a place where people go whale watching when they visit.

I live on the 32nd floor.

I prefer folk music to indie music. I enjoy the outdoors. I want to go on a glacier tour. I plan to check Priceline for a ticket. I plan to visit in the summer.

[Speaker 1] Did you look for tickets to visit me?

[Speaker 2] I have been watching the airfare. I'm waiting for the prices to go down a little. How's the weather there this week?

[Speaker 1] It's lovely this week! Clear skies and sunshine every single day

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice. It's been rainy here. Are there any good concerts coming up that you plan to see? Maybe I can plan my visit around that if the flights come through

[Speaker 1] Actually, yes! There are a few local artists performing in about 4 weeks, they'll be performing folk music. I'd love to take you out on the town and then enjoy that concert later in the evening if you're interested.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. I'm looking forward to it. Do you think I will need to rent a car when I'm there, or is it possible to walk and bike in the summer? I always picture huge amounts of snow but I'm not sure if it's like that all year round.

[Speaker 1] I would definitely recommend looking for a rental car to have on hand. There is a town within walking distance from me, but it can be dangerous to walk with the wolves and elk around, especially at night.

[Speaker 2] I imagine so!!! I wouldn't want to run into a wolf! Ok. I will add car rental to my plans. Do you get scared with your dogs, that you will run into wildilfe like that?

[Speaker 1] I think I'm more afraid of the wildlife than my dogs are. If I had to, I think I could muster the courage to face the animals out here, but I will happily avoid them when possible. With you around, I'd feel much better, as well. How do you feel about being that close to wildlife?

[Speaker 2] Well I don't have a lot of experience with that but I guess I'd be ok as long as I knew what to do. Most of the wildlife I see is squirrels, pigeons, and the occasional possum.

[Speaker 1] We have plenty of those out here, as well, and you'll see them far more often than you'll see wolves. We will just have to take extra precautions at night and make sure we don't leave any food outside that might attract them.

[Speaker 2] How about bears, do you see those near you?


I am a runner.

I love high-protein foods.

I work as a tax accountant.

My favorite musician is sufjan stevens.

I am a mom and sister.

I am in my forties.

I have a son and a daughter.

I own rental properties and maintain them myself.

I am a fan of movies.

I manage my rental properties. I might be able to help you with the apartment situation. I look after my rental properties well. They are in good shape.

I rent out duplexes and townhouses in the $1200 to $2100 range.

I have a daughter. She lives in one of my rental units. I would have to relocate her. My daughter is single.

[Speaker 1] I don't like this new apartment I moved into last month. Hi how are you?

[Speaker 2] Busy taking care of my rental properties. Sounds like I could help you out then.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be nice if they're not dirty like this one.

[Speaker 2] Of course not. I take care of them myself and they are quite nice.

[Speaker 1] I'm a tax accountant. I have a good job but I can't find a decent apartment.

[Speaker 2] I can help you out. I only rent out duplexes and town houses for about $1200-2100.

[Speaker 1] Maybe the one for $1200 if it's a nice place. I live alone, no roommates, nothing.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Are you currently in a lease?

[Speaker 1] Not anymore. I can just give 30 days notice and I'm out of here for good.

[Speaker 2] I'll just have to move my daughter out of the unit first.

[Speaker 1] No rush. I have at least 30 days but I am ready when you are.

[Speaker 2] Would you want to live with her? She's single...

[Speaker 1] I have been thinking, since you are helping me with my apartment situation, I could reciprocate by offering my help in any tax related issues you might have in your rental properties business. I am a wizard at finding ways to save on taxes.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! When would you like to check out the apartment?

[Speaker 1] Are you free this weekend?

[Speaker 2] I am helping out my daughter with something this weekend. How does Monday evening work for you?

[Speaker 1] What are you helping her with?

[Speaker 2] She and her friend are planning to open a cafe in downtown and we are going to be visiting various locations to assess the traffic in different neighborhoods before finalizing

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I didn't know that! What kind of cafe? Where downtown?

[Speaker 2] Oh well! Me neither lol. Halfway thru college she decides medicine is not for her and she wants to start a business pursuing her passion which is gourmet coffee and tea

[Speaker 1] Well I can understand how you'd want her to finish her medical degree first, but I bet she's successful. Do you need any help moving her?

[Speaker 2] Not right away but now that I think of it, she might benefit from your expertise in the tax department!

[Speaker 1] Well feel free to pass on my information and I will help her out!

[Speaker 2] All right then... we’ll see ya Monday!

I moved into a new apartment last month. I dont like my new apartment. I find my current apartment dirty. I live alone. I don't have any roommates. I am ready to move out in 30 days. The one for $1200 sounds good to me. I need help with apartments.

I work as a tax accountant. I have a good job. I am good in tax related issues.

My daughter is opening a gourmet coffee and tea cafe.

[Speaker 1] How is it going the place search for your daughter's cafe?

[Speaker 2] It is going good, she found a place that she likes. She should have things up and going within a month or so. Do you have your stuff packed to move out or did you even unpack?

[Speaker 1] I did unpack when I moved in but I haven't packed up.  I'm not going to do that until I know when and where I'm going.  Is she still going to move out of your unit or does the offer still stand to live with her?

[Speaker 2] She is going to move out and find a place that is closer to the cafe. So you will have the unit all to yourself. She should be out soon and you will be all set to move in next month.

[Speaker 1] Okay, I am used to living alone, although having a roommate might be a nice change of pace.  How old is your daughter?

[Speaker 2] I can always see if she wants to stay in the unit with you. I don't think the commute would be that far just about 30 min. If she does want to stay then that would bring down the rent some. She is 22 years old. Will you be getting any pets or anything in the future?

[Speaker 1] No, I won't be getting any pets.  I am allergic to cat fur.  Does your daughter have cats?

[Speaker 2] Okay. My daughter does not have a cat because she is allergic as well. She does have a dog though. Its a beagle, she is a very sweet dog and loves people.

[Speaker 1] Hmm, okay, well I should probably meet the beagle when we visit the apartment.  I am a little apprehensive about dogs, but if it's friendly then that might be okay.

[Speaker 2] Yes, of course you will meet the dog first. If it happens to not work out with you and the dog. My daughter said she would move and you could have the apartment to yourself.

[Speaker 1] Okay, that sounds like a good deal.  We're still meeting to see the unit tonight, aren't we?  We agreed on Monday evening, I think.

[Speaker 2] Yes tonight sounds great. What time do you get off work? Maybe we can meet at the restaurant close by and get dinner then check the apartment out.

I don't have a new place. I have no pets. I am allergic to cats. I like friendly dogs.

My daughter currently lives with me. My daughter is moving out.

My daughter is 22. I live far from her cafe.

[Speaker 1] This new apartment is a disaster!

[Speaker 2] Well you're moving anyway. I've seen some places that I think will be perfect for you.

[Speaker 1] I think there is still cat hair in the carpets here! I am sneezing and wheezing. Is there one open nest to your daughter?

[Speaker 2] Well I'm not sure where she is going yet, but shes kind of annoying, you wouldn't want that. Her coffee tastes like crap too. I'm glad I don't live to that place

[Speaker 1] I was thinking she would make a great roommate as we have the same allergies and she has a dog I could pet. But any property will beat this one!

[Speaker 2] But you like friendly dogs. That dog bites me at least once a day. There is a whole in all my clothes and don't make me tell you about the blood stains.

[Speaker 1] Oh, That is terrible. Not a friendly dog at all.  Why doesn't she get it trained or put a muzzle on it?

[Speaker 2] I've suggested a muzzle but it was for her. I would rather get bit by the dog than listen to her talk about coffee any more. Thats why my properties are so clean. I never want to come home

[Speaker 1] I don't think I would want to come home, either. Maybe this apartment will be ok if I just get the carpets shampooed a few times.

[Speaker 2] hahahaha. I kid. I only used a muzzle on her when she was a chuld

[Speaker 1] haha. Maybe that is why the dog bites you every day. Karma lol

[Speaker 2] touche. maybe I'll try putting up with her storiesuntil she goes

My daughter is allergic to cats. My daughter has a dog. I think she is annoying.

I visit my daughter at least once a day. I live with my daughter. I used a muzzle on my daughter.

[Speaker 1] I found an apartment you will love. I found a great carpet cleaning service.

[Speaker 2] Sounds exciting! Did they have animals previously?

[Speaker 1] Yes they had cats so the carpet cleaning will really help with my allergies!

[Speaker 2] Ok, Hopefully the cleaning service will do a good job then! Are you planning on moving in close by?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is close by so I can stay working at my job. How is your job going? Have you had any issues with your rentals?

[Speaker 2] Other than having to move my daughter into a new one, no. I'm planning on renting out some more, do they have more than one apartment?

[Speaker 1] The place that I am moving to does have more than one apartment, they probably have close to 50 or 60. Are you thinking about moving your daughter into one?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but I'm also looking for more apartments to rent. Are they all priced relatively similar?

[Speaker 1] They are priced similarly, they have 1, 2 and 3 bedroom options.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds good! Do you plan on getting a dog to move in with?

[Speaker 1] Not just yet, I'd like to wait until I have a house with a yard for it to run around in but I may cave and get one sooner.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that makes total sense!


I'm a fisherman.
I come from new england.
I like watching baseball.
I drive a truck.
My favorite food is lasagna.

I'm not a fan of going out in the water.

I live near my father. I'm not married.

[Speaker 1] Hello there my name is bill o'sullivan.

[Speaker 2] Hey bill! What's up?

[Speaker 1] O not much just watching baseball with the old lady, you?

[Speaker 2] Just relaxing, was out on the tractor early today..

[Speaker 1] Is that your every day vehicle?.

[Speaker 2] Nope, that would be my truck but I make my living off my corn and bean farm.

[Speaker 1] I own a truck too! But I'm no farm hand. I am a man of the sea.

[Speaker 2] Nice, I've never been one for water myself. What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 1] Eat lasagna and new england clam chowder at the same time..

[Speaker 2] Sounds pretty good actually...so you've got any family?

[Speaker 1] The old lady and one good dog, what about you? Any in-laws?

[Speaker 2] No in-laws, only family close is my father, he's a preacher so always at church.

[Speaker 1] You ever gonna leave the farm someday?

[Speaker 2] Probably not, I love farming, couldn't see myself doing anything else.

My name is Bill O'sullivan.

I own a truck. I'm a seaman.

I have a dog. I have a wife.

I own a tractor.

I live near my father. I'm not married.

[Speaker 1] Is there any reason in particular you don't get out on the water much?

[Speaker 2] I don't really like it, i've never been a strong swimmer so I'm always worried about being out there alone

[Speaker 1] I can certainly understand that. I grew up on the water so I never had a big fear of it. How is it living on a farm? It seems like it would be such hard work.

[Speaker 2] I love living on a farm, I don't like water but I love the rest of nature! Watching crops grow is so amazing

[Speaker 1] I know I've always enjoyed driving through and seeing farms when we travel. Are there many types of beans and corn you grow?

[Speaker 2] I grow quite a range of them, you always need to have backup in case they fail as well. Last summer we had a terrible drought and it stopped any of the crops growing. Luckily this year we've had plenty of rain!

[Speaker 1] That's a relief to hear. Does your dad help out on your farm?

[Speaker 2] He does from time to time, he's not a farmer but he's pretty handy when I need an extra set of hands!

[Speaker 1] That sounds so helpful. I don't live near my parents anymore. Just my wife, myself, and our dog.

[Speaker 2] I love living near my dad, we're really close so I just like to hang out with him. Are you close to your parents?

[Speaker 1] I am when we get to see them! I love watching baseball with my dad

[Speaker 2] Nothing beats quality time with family when you all get on!

My name is Bill O'sullivan.

I watch baseball on TV. I watch baseball with my Dad.

I own a truck. I'm a seaman.

I have a dog. I have a wife.

I have no fear of water.

I have seen farms when travelling.

I own a tractor.

I own a truck. I own a living by growing beans and corn on my farm. I plan on farming my whole life. I live on a farm. Last summer I experienced drought. My Dad helps me.

I live near my father. I'm not married. My Dad and I are close. I spend quality time with my family.

I don't like being on the water. I am not a strong swimmer.

[Speaker 1] Are you experiencing good growing conditions this year?

[Speaker 2] so far so good! with all the rain we've had, we've had a nice surplus. making up for the losses we had last season, so it's been much smoother sailing.  have you had a chance to get out on the water this last week?

[Speaker 1] I did. We went out on the lake this weekend. Any way I can convince you to start liking water???

[Speaker 2] oh man, that is a tough one. perhaps i could start with a dipping my feet in a small pond! haha. i feel like i am best for everyone just watching from the shores. what are your favorite lake activities?

[Speaker 1] We have a pontoon boat, so it's just a relaxing slow ride. We swim and play around. You can do it. Just wear a life jacket.

[Speaker 2] i think with a cheerleader like you, i just may be convinced. slow and relaxing does sound ok. it's those fast and crazy things i see that that scare me! you catch any fish?

[Speaker 1] We fish some. I never keep any. I usually throw them back in. I did catch one with some big teeth last week.

[Speaker 2] i always liked eating fish, since we don't get to eat it very often out here on the farm. big teeth though - see i knew the water was scary! what kind of fish was it?

[Speaker 1] The fish was a muskie. Have you ever seen one?

[Speaker 2] no i have not, you will have to show me a picture!

[Speaker 1] I will email you a picture. They are pretty intimidating... especially when you get them out of the water on a hook.

[Speaker 2] i can't wait! yes that does sound scary. big teeth fish. so glad i don't live on the water!

My name is Bill O'sullivan.

I own a truck. I'm a seaman.

I have a dog. I have a wife.

I have no fear of water.

I have seen farms when travelling.

I am currently located near the water. I have a pontoon boat.  I can swim.

I own a tractor.

I am scared of fast boats.

I like eating fish. I am scared of the water. I prefer to live away from the water.

[Speaker 1] So, you think I will be able to get you out on the boat soon?  I promise to go slow and have a lifejacket for you!

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure about that. I'm really not a big fan of water, you know. Maybe if the water is really, really calm?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the water will be calm. Don't be afraid, it is a great experience and will help you get over your fear of water.

[Speaker 2] I guess I could go. When works for you? Hey, can we maybe fish while we're out? I've always been interested in fishing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I can certainly teach you how to fish! Maybe we can start with fishing that way you can get more comfortable being around the water.

[Speaker 2] Okay, you've got a deal. I'll go on the boat with a life jacket and you'll show me how to fish. Maybe we can catch dinner?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that sounds like a plan to me. Does the weekend work for you?

[Speaker 2] I've got plans Saturday but Sunday afternoon should be good.

[Speaker 1] Sunday works good for me too! I can pick you up around 1pm?

[Speaker 2] I'll be ready to go then. Is there anything else I should bring along?

[Speaker 1] I can bring the fishing poles and the bait. Maybe you can bring a few drinks or snack?

[Speaker 2] Sure, that works. I'll pack up a few sodas and some munchies. I could bring Goldfish crackers, haha. I love those things.

My name is Bill O'sullivan.

I own a truck. I'm a seaman.

I have a dog. I have a wife.

I have no fear of water.

I have seen farms when travelling.

I know how to fish.  I practice catch and release fishing. I can sail.

I am free on Sunday.

I own a tractor.

I am scared of fast boats.

I am interested in fishing. I have plans on Saturday. I am free on Sunday.

I love goldfish crackers.

[Speaker 1] I found a fishing rod which is really good for beginners, should I get it for you?

[Speaker 2] Sure, that would be nice. Did you get  to fish over the weekend?

[Speaker 1] I did. We actually kept them this time for a fish fry on the 4th. Do you like catfish?

[Speaker 2] Yes, fried and catfish stew. Maybe we could get together and go fishing sometime.

[Speaker 1] Sure. My pontoon boat goes slow and easy.

[Speaker 2] That's how I like it. Nice and stable on the water too. How about Sunday, would that be a good day for you?

[Speaker 1] Sure. We can make a day of it.

[Speaker 2] I can pick up bait, drinks, and snacks.  Anything else , just let me know.

[Speaker 1] That would be great! I'll make sandwiches and bring a cooler.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan to me.  What should we get started?

[Speaker 1] I think we're set. I'll bring your new pole.

[Speaker 2] I guess we could meet at your place since you're closer to a fishing hole.  What time is good for you?

[Speaker 1] Thats great! Yesterday, I was able to get a new job doing computer programming.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, I am shipping clerk at warehouse 15 hours a week.

[Speaker 1] I finished planning my cruise today. It is officially ready to go.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome  Where will the cruise be porting?

[Speaker 1] in the Caribbeans. I'm pretty excited to go.

[Speaker 2] That does sound fun!  I have always been a bit afraid of cruises because I can't swim.  Are you at all nervous when you go on a cruise?

[Speaker 1] I've never been nervous. the boat is pretty big and you could just stay away from the edge if you are afraid of falling over.

[Speaker 2] That's a good point.  What do you enjoy most on cruises?  I have always heard the food is amazing.

[Speaker 1] the food is pretty good. they have big buffets. but just the adventure and travel is exciting and so much fun.

[Speaker 2] Do you have an excursion/adventure planned for this cruise?

[Speaker 1] we will do some snorkeling and stuff when we get to our destination.

[Speaker 2] If someone can't swim, what other kinds of excursions/adventures would you recommend when at the destination?

[Speaker 1] you can go hiking and explore the local area. they have some pretty cool waterfalls.

[Speaker 2] That does sound really cool!  Are there car rentals available usually for explorting the area?

I can swim.

I like debate club.

One of my favorite foods is pizza.

I planned a cruise today. My cruise will be in the Caribbean. I am not afraid of water. I love adventure and travelling. I am planning to go snorkelling.

I work as a shipping clerk.

My favorite food is pizzaburgers.

I am interested in renting a vehicle.

[Speaker 1] I just had my first day in my new job computer programming! I was really nervous for my first day, but everyone was welcoming! Plus, there's a pizza place around the corner. Score!

[Speaker 2] Does the place sell pizzaburgers? That would be the real score.

[Speaker 1] THAT is a good question, my friend. I will have to go just to find out!

[Speaker 2] Haha but in all seriousness, I'm glad your first day went well. A welcoming environment makes a world of a difference.

[Speaker 1] It really can, and my fellow computer people can be pretty standoffish. Such a competitive industry, you know. Glad they seem to have a loving workplace cultre.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean. There's not much competition in my workplace, and honestly it's something I've come to appreciate more and more. Anyway, how's the snorkeling trip planning coming along?

[Speaker 1] Coming along swimmingly ;) I signed up for several trips out to snorkel!

[Speaker 2] Ha! Well said. I imagine you'll be seeing a lot of tropical fish. Don't get so mesmerized that thecruise ship leaves you behind!

[Speaker 1] Hahaha that is a very valid point! Ya know the best part of cruises? You really can have them make you WHATEVER you want. MY TUMMY IS READY FOR PIZZABURGERS FOR DAAAYS!

[Speaker 2] Stop that teasing or I will have to get over my fear of water just to get on that cruise ship with you.

[Speaker 1] Maybe it is just the thing to get you over your fear! We were talking about similar at work today: how immersion is the cure for many fears.

[Speaker 2] Where does one learn how to swim? At a local pool I suppose..?

I can swim.

I like debate club.

One of my favorite foods is pizza.

I planned a cruise today. My cruise will be in the Caribbean. I am not afraid of water. I love adventure and travelling. I signed up for several trips out to snorke.

I had my first day in my new job computer programming.  I was really nervous for my first day.

I wait for the cruise in order to eat a lot of pizzaburgers.

I work as a shipping clerk. here's not much competition in my workplace.

My favorite food is pizzaburgers.

I am interested in renting a vehicle.

[Speaker 1] So maybe you overthought and someday you will learn how to swim?

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could teach me. Have you ever been to the carribean before?

[Speaker 1] I could teach you! and the Carribean is my next trip. It might help if we put on some punk music before we get in the pool.

[Speaker 2] Before during and after! I won't debate you on that. How are you liking this new job? I've always wanted to learn programming.

[Speaker 1] It is a bit tedious and repetitive, but rewarding when the job is complete. Swimming helps me relax because it is a bit stressful at times.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. I eat pizzaburgers when Im stressed and I'm stressed a lot. Thats Why I'm thinking I cou;ld learn how to swim now. I'm pretty buoyant if you know what I mean

[Speaker 1] haha. Bouyant is a good thing. It will help you float on your back. How about I teach you programming too? For ever hour in water, and hour of training for progrramming?

[Speaker 2] And punk music!!! I've always wanteed to eat a pizza burger in a pool\

[Speaker 1] Pizzaburgers, Punk music Programming and some swim time! Its a deal.

[Speaker 2] apt-get https://github.com etc. Oh ive been practicing programming already. I was typing in the wrong window

[Speaker 1] Oh, then we wouldn't have to start from scratch. Do you want to plan to meet up next weekend?

[Speaker 2] Lets do that! Punk rock and pizza burgers

I can teach someone how to swim. I like to swim as a way of relaxing.

I like debate club.

One of my favorite foods is pizza.

I like punk music. I have never been to the Carribean. I am going to the Carribean in the future.

I know how to teach programming.

I like to get together with friends. I am available next weekend.

I cannot swim. I love swimming movies. I'm afraid of water. I want to learn how to swim.

My favorite food is pizzaburgers.  I am overweight.

I am interested in renting a vehicle.

I want to learn programming. I started to learn how to program recently.

I enjoy meeting with friends in person. I am free next weekend.

[Speaker 1] Okay I made a playlist for our meetup this weekend. It's all punk music, but I have an hour of fun music for the pool and more steady music for our programming studies. It's going to be fun!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great to me.  Hope I'm able to learn to swim.

[Speaker 1] I can teach you! I have taught quite a few people so I'll help you

[Speaker 2] I would really appreciate that. Maybe I could go on one of your next cruises.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would be great. I'm excited about going to the Carribean. I've never been. Have you?

[Speaker 2] No, I have not.  I've not been outside the US, but would love to go .Let me know how you like it.

[Speaker 1] I will! Is there a city you like to visit nearby while cruising in your car?

[Speaker 2] Yes, there are several. Hope we could meet and You possibly teach me about computer programming.

[Speaker 1] That would be great too. I like to program in several different languages. Do you have a preference?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm just getting started so I don't have a preference. Maybe you could show me what you prefer and we could start there.

[Speaker 1] Sure. I usually like to start with html and css so we can start there. We'll order some pizzaburgers to help us out.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like fun to me.  Thank you so much.

[Speaker 2] Not really... I just felt an inner directive to give up meat and dairy after I started meditation and yoga in earnest... it just happened organically. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Fitness for me, I became vegetarian and then just decided to try becoming vegan because I'd heard amazing things about it and now never looked back. I feel it can really help your nutrition

[Speaker 2] Sure... even though fitness is not the primary reason I got into it, this definitely fits (pun intended) in with my fitness centered lifestyle

[Speaker 1] That makes a lot of sense. I remember you mentioned that you have pets, what do you?

[Speaker 2] I have two black labs... they are big and my neighbors have nicknamed them Labzillas :)

[Speaker 1] Oh they sound adorable.  Have you had them for long? We recently got two puppies

[Speaker 2] We got them when they were 8 weeks old and they’re going to be 4 year olds soon. What breed are your pups?!

I have two puppies and a cat.

I also live in Alaska. I volunteer.

I'm a vegan. I am on a diet that does not include cheese.

I have pets. I drive a smart car.

I live in Alaska.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair.

I do yoga. I meditate.

I have 2 dogs. They are labradors.

[Speaker 1] Have you read any books about veganism that helped you?

[Speaker 2] not specifically, i do love to cook though so i google a lot of veggie-based recipes, or even regular recipes and sub out the meat for various veggies. mushrooms and squash make really good meat substitutes since they are so dense. do you do a lot of cooking?

[Speaker 1] I do! I love cooking. I read a lot of books that helped me develop my vegan diet, I'd be happy to let you borrow some if you're interested. Those are definitely good meat substitutes. Have you ever tried jackfruit?

[Speaker 2] i would love to borrow your books! and yes, how could i forget about jackfruit! it is very popular these days too. what is your favorite vegan recipe?

[Speaker 1] My favorite vegan recipe is a mediterranean chickpea bowl with quinoa, cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, and onions, with a vegan tzaziki sauce. How about you?

[Speaker 2] i think we will have to start a recipe exchange. it will help keep us on track! my favorite is a kabocha squash curry. i think we should also try some vegan cheeses to help us avoid accidentally cheating in the future!

[Speaker 1] That sounds delicious!!! I agree, a recipe exchange would be great. True, vegan cheese does help with that. Have you found any favorite brands for vegan cheese? I found a couple that I like, and some that I didn't enjoy as much.

[Speaker 2] i have tried a couple, none that i've enjoyed so far. the next on my list to try is cashew cheese, which i have heard is superior, so i am excited to try it. i hear it makes great nachos, and i miss nachos so much!

[Speaker 1] I hear you, nachos are delicious! I do like cashew cheese for that. My favorite brand so far is Daiya (sp?). the only thing I noticed about it is if I leave it in the fridge too long, it doesn't mold. That is a little weird to me, but still it's the most delicious, meltable vegan cheese that I've found. Anyway, I've been meaning to ask, how are your pets? And what kind of pets do you have, again?

[Speaker 2] i've heard of that brand too! i'll make sure to try it since you've given it a thumbs up! i'm excited to have so many vegan tools in my belt now! my dogs are good, i've got two labs. they are very active and keep me busy, but i think it's good for me. i am sure your puppies are keeping you quite busy as well - i don't miss the potty training phase!

[Speaker 1] yeah definitely, that's great to hear you're enjoying your new vegan diet. Oh, cute! I love labs. Yes, my puppies keep me busy as well. The training phase is definitely a lot of work. How old are your labs now?

[Speaker 2] almost 4. still act like puppies running around like crazy. i think i wouldn't get any exercise if it weren't for them though, so that is a good thing for me.

I also live in Alaska. I volunteer.

I love to cook. My favorite vegan recipe is a mediterranean chickpea bowl. There are a couple of vegan cheese brands that I like. Daiya is my favorite vegan cheese brand.

I woiuld like to try cashew cheese. I like nachos.

I have two labrador dogs. My dogs are 4 years old. My dogs are very active.

[Speaker 1] I think I'm getting the hang of this puppy training thing. They did the cutest thing yesterday!

[Speaker 2] Oh! What did the puppies do? I remember when my dogs were just little puppies, they were so adorable!

[Speaker 1] I taught them how to hug, so they stand up on their hind legs and wrap their front legs around my leg. It is adorable!

[Speaker 2] That is seriously so cute. My dogs do something kind of similar, where they get up on their hind legs, and they do almost like a praying motion with their paws. It's so sweet! How is school going for you, anyways?

[Speaker 1] It is actually very stressful, I have classes on top of clinicals right now. It may not have been the best time for me to get two puppies but man do they help me relax when I get home!

[Speaker 2] True. My dogs always help keep me sane when I am really stressed out from work. If I didn't have them to come home to and cheer me up, I don't know what I'd do! Maybe we can take our dogs on a play date!

[Speaker 1] That would be fun! Do your dogs get along well with other dogs?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I haven't brought them out a whole lot, so I'm not exactly sure. I think as long as they aren't bigger dogs, they wont get too skittish. My dogs are so well tempered and good with people, it would be hard for me to imagine them being bad. But then again, dogs will be dogs.

[Speaker 1] Very true and I expect my puppies will want just want to play! What are your dogs names?

[Speaker 2] I named my dogs Lummox and Grimbus lol! They're kinda goofy names, but they're goofy dogs too. So it makes sense. What did you name your little puppies???

[Speaker 1] Those are cute names! I named mine Luna and Nimbus..so close to yours!

[Speaker 2] Okay, this is perfect. Those names are way too similar. They are fated to be friends. I hope my dogs will be good role-models to your little pups! How have the puppies been with handling the cold? Mine got used to it very fast.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried any new recipes lately?

[Speaker 2] I want to learn how to make a new curry. I need a little more spice in life!

[Speaker 1] Have you tried the mediterranean chickpea bowl?

[Speaker 2] I had it for lunch on Friday. It was just what the doctor ordered. But, I ate a ton of junk food this past weekend. I fell like a fat cow.

[Speaker 1] Haha. I'm guessing one of the junk foods included nachos?

[Speaker 2] Ugh, they were so good at 2 am when we had them. I may or may not have washed them down with a half pint of ice cream.

[Speaker 1] Nice, haha. Are you balancing that out with some yoga at least?

[Speaker 2] I'm going to go tonight. I took the dogs out for a super long walk this morning. It's time to rebalance and get refocused. I hate complaining to you though, you already have so much on your plate.

[Speaker 1] It's all good! Even with my busy schedule in medical school, my puppies are doing well with their trainings! I am so proud of them.

[Speaker 2] You're an inspiration. Not only do you do more than most people, but you always do it with a smile on your face. You're such a great friend.

[Speaker 1] Aww thank you! I am here for any help you need

[Speaker 2] You know what, I think it's time that someone does something nice for you. How about I make dinner for us this weekend. We'll all get together and our dogs will hang out, What do you think?
