I am a gamer.

I like playing league of legends.

My favorite champion is alistar.

I got a new gaming laptop last month.

I love playing video games with friends.

I am a very easy going person who loves to partake in leisure activity.

I am a dog owner who loves spending time with all animals.

Furthermore, I consider my self a coffee connoisseur and love trying new ways to brew.

I also enjoy going outside to run, hike, and camp.

I am a gamer. I like League of Legends. I recently got a new gaming laptop. I like any games that I can play with friends.

I am not into gaming. I like doing things outdoors. I enjoy running, hiking, and camping.

I have a dog. Sometimes rock climb.

[Speaker 1] Hey there! Are you a gamer like me?.

[Speaker 2] No, sorry. I am more into doing outdoor activities..

[Speaker 1] I really love league of legends. I guess I could do that outside!

[Speaker 2] You would need a good internet connection to do that, it is an online game, right?

[Speaker 1] I just got a brand new gaming laptop last month too so it could work.

[Speaker 2] You must really love gaming, any other games you like?

[Speaker 1] Sure I love any game I can play with friends. What do you like doing?

[Speaker 2] I love being in nature when I can; running, hiking, and camping.

[Speaker 1] Are you as good at those things as my champion alistar?

[Speaker 2] I'd like to think so, I do it for fun, and to just get out. Ever camped?

[Speaker 1] With? Or without my laptop?

[Speaker 2] Either. Though I figure it would be harder with a laptop. No place to charge it.

[Speaker 1] Yes I guess that is true. Do you rock climb or anything?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, but it is harder to take my dog with me if I do.

I have a dog. Sometimes rock climb.

[Speaker 1] What is your dog's name?

[Speaker 2] Brian, hes a Pitweiler. Hes really energetic.

[Speaker 1] Wait? Your dogs name is Brian....I absolutely love that! Its so original and cute at the same time. How old is he

[Speaker 2] Hes 6 years, if he stand s on his hind legs hes as tall as me

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! How much does he weigh. Did you come up with the name?

[Speaker 2] My Aunt named him when he was a puppy, she breeds dogs, i kept the name because he was already responding to it by the time i got him (6 monthys).

[Speaker 1] Does he like hiking with you?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, he likes to run off ahead

[Speaker 1] Did you have to build him up to mileage or when did you start.

[Speaker 2] He started coming out after about a year, he was always able to cope with long distances, hes a very athletic dog.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I never knew that about big dogs like that, I thought the heat bothered them

[Speaker 2] hes very short haired, also as a breed pittweilers were bred by the Germans in WW2 for frontline service, they are incredibly hardy dogs, he would outlast me if we were to get lost thats for sure!

I don't know a lot about dogs.

I Sometimes rock climb. I have a Pitweiler dog named Brian. I have a 6 year old dog. I have an aunt who breeds dogs.

I like to hike.

[Speaker 1] I looked into adopting a dog for myself.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great! Are you leaning more towards a shelter or do you want a specific breed?

[Speaker 1] I think the more ethical choice is probably to get a shelter dog, right? I'm sure I saw some documentary about like puppy mills or whatever.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, I always think adopting is the way to go. There are ethically bred dogs though, that's what my aunt does for a living. My dude is from a shelter though. Are you hoping to get a puppy?

[Speaker 1] A puppy would be super cute, but I don't think I'd be very good at training a puppy. Maybe a super chill older dog, and I could set up an Insta for him.

[Speaker 2] Puppies are a ton of work, Brian almost drove me insane when he was a puppy. I think adopting an older dog is great! There are so many good natured older dogs at the animal shelter near me, you should check it out!

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the support. It would be cool to have a buddy on my Twitch stream. People would be really into that, if I had like a cool dog just chilling on the couch while I stream.

[Speaker 2] That would totally be cool. Have you thought about names much? I'd be fine if you went with Brian too ha.

[Speaker 1] That would be hilarious. Brian Jr.  Or maybe Brian Sr if he's an older dog

[Speaker 2] I love it. Well don't buy toys or a dog bed or anything, my aunt gives me all of her extra stuff like that so I have a ton I can give you. Brian could really use a budy, hiking wears him out enough but not like playing with other dogs.

[Speaker 1] That would be great, since I basically wiped out my account with the new gaming laptop.

[Speaker 2] I figured as much. I don't really game but I know they're super expensive. How are you liking it so far? Maybe I should start gaming more.

I don't know a lot about dogs. I don't have any pets. I would prefer an older dog so I don't have to train it. I want to start an Instagram for my future dog.

I stream on Twitch.

I recently bought an expensive gaming laptop.

I like to hike.

I prefer adopting dogs. I get free dog toys and supplies from my aunt that breeds dogs.

I don't play a lot of video games.

[Speaker 1] I went to an animal shelter to look at dogs.

[Speaker 2] What kind of dog were you looking for?

[Speaker 1] Definely an older dog that is already trained and I'd really like one that doesn't shed too much. I am just looking at this point... you are the dog expert. What kind of breed do you think would work best for me?

[Speaker 2] I personally like pit bulls. And they are often overlooked at the shelters, but are very loyal dogs.

[Speaker 1] I admit that I am a little scared of that breed because of the negative stereotype. My cousin actually got attacked by one a few years ago.

[Speaker 2] It's all in how they're raised. Definitely make sure any dog you get from a shelter is well vetted.

[Speaker 1] I will keep that in mind. I actually saw a miniature poodle when I was at the shelter yesterday. We kind of connected, but I'm not ready to take that big of a step just yet. I felt really bad leaving him there. I don't know how you can go to shelters to pet dogs so often, that place makes me so sad.

[Speaker 2] It is sad, but they love the interaction.

[Speaker 1] You must have a stronger and more giving heart than I do. I just want to cry and run away when I am there. How many years have you been going to your shelter to play with the dogs?

[Speaker 2] Since I was a teenager. Probably 15 or so years.

[Speaker 1] Good for you. How did you first think about doing that?

[Speaker 2] I've just always loved animals. And since I can't take them all in, it's the next best thing.

I stream on Twitch.

I'm looking for a dog to adopt. I am afraid of pit bulls. My cousin was attacked by a pit bull.

I like to hike.

I don't play a lot of video games.

I have been visiting my local pet shelter for approximately 15 years. I love animals.

[Speaker 1] I did some research on pit bulls and I'm considering adopting one now.

[Speaker 2] I 100% believe you should adopt one now. Dogs are amazing creatures who always show affection! I love Pitweiler and I always go on runs with him everyday.

[Speaker 1] So you think a pit bull will be good to adopt?  I live in a place where there are few people around, few other dogs, and no kids to be seen.  I think hte area is safe for me to have a pit bull.  But I always worry that an adopted one be available because there were issues with it.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, most of the time, people just don't want dogs that look mean and scary. So they get them as puppies, and once they grow up, those same people will just dump them at animal shelter. I have gone to my local shelter for 15 years, and I have seen all types of dogs. The smaller dogs are the actual mean ones. Why don't you come with me the next time I visit, and you can see how friendly a pitbull is. Plus, like you said, your area is a safe spot for a pitbull.

[Speaker 1] I will be taking some time before I make a decision. I really do not want o adopt one then have to give it back.  Maybe I try being a foster parent for one first.  Ease into it.  Plus I spend a lot of time working and gaming.  I do not want to ignore a new dog.

[Speaker 2] Have you thought about gaming less and doing more outdoors activities? If you foster a dog, I can help you get use to going outside more for hikes and runs. Or, you are welcome to come over to my place and meet my dog to see how you feel. I promise no dog is bad. A bad owner creates a bad dog.

[Speaker 1] Yea, good idea on getting more exercise.  I can take walks and go to nearby parks.  But I really have to travel a long time to get out in the "wild".  Sometimes the walks seem bad for me.  Too many vehicles on the road and many days the air is just not that good outside to be doing a workout.  I am thinking about moving to the edge of the city, probably get even more room for a dog!

[Speaker 2] That does sound hard for walks, but even just a walk through a park can give you enough exercise for the day. Maybe fostering dogs would be a better solution for you before you get an actual dog. Plus, you might start to like other breeds. Plus, my aunt is a breeder, so you can get a discount if you want a dog from her.

[Speaker 1] Here if I foster a dog they even help with food and take care of any medical expenses.  It is also a great way to find out if I really do want a pit bull.  I am still on the fence about it.  I appreciate the offer you mentioned with your aunt.  I made a note of that.

[Speaker 2] I've fostered some dogs before, and I really enjoyed the experience. To know I was giving a dog temporary love until they were able to go on to their new home, well, it just warms my heart. But, if you grow attached, it does hurt when you have to see them leave. A painful goodbye. Would you be okay with that?

[Speaker 1] I would be OK with a dog leaving.  If I really wanted the dog I could adopt it - so if I hesitate then I probably am not sure the dog is for me.  Have you been camping recently and if you have, where did you go?  I would like to try a place with some mountains, a stream, and a camp fire.  That would be very fun for me.

[Speaker 2] I see what you mean. And, yes, I go camping a lot near the mountains with my dog. It's a lot of fun, and I feel way safer with my dog. It's fun, but can also be very dirty. If you have never gone before, you might want to try a small campsite first, with built in equipment to get yourself comfortable. Would you want to go together some time? I can show you some beautiful waterfalls that you can swim in.

[Speaker 1] Definitely. I used to live in Los Angeles and the best part about it for me was the food also. What's your favorite street food?

[Speaker 2] Honestly i just love a good street hot dog!  All the fixins, saurerkraut, mustard, onions, cheese

[Speaker 1] Yes!! The sauerkraut is important. It's too bad that elsewhere in the U.S the sauerkraut isn't a standard topping on the hotdog.

[Speaker 2] Whats your favorite street food?

[Speaker 1] My favorite are lengua (cow's tongue) tacos. I could eat those all day, everyday.

[Speaker 1] Thats awesome to hear. You mentioned you like Three Dog Night the most, have you seen them in concert yet? How are they live?

[Speaker 2] I've seen them once, but would love to again. Their live show is so good. I am always impressed with them.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a good concert to go to. What would you say is your favorite song from them, I think I might give them a listen later on.

[Speaker 2] I really enjoy 'Mama Told Me', one of their lesser known songs, but I really like it. Sometimes those are the best songs.

[Speaker 1] I'll give it a listen when I get a chance. How's Sao Paulo like, I want to visit this summer but I am a bit unsure of what to see or do in the city.

[Speaker 2] It's good, always busy. There's always something going on.  You should visit the Museum of Art of São Paulo. There are very interesting pieces in there.

[Speaker 1] I love going to museums, I'll give it a visit when I get the chance. I would also like to visit some restaurants, or even eat some street food in the city.

[Speaker 2] There's so much amazing food to discover here. You won't be bored and won't want to leave.

[Speaker 1] Can't wait, its always nice to be in the city. Do you have any plans for this year, any place that you want to see or things you want to do?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I am waiting for some bands to announce their summer tour schedule so I can plan what shows I will be going to.

I live in a big city. I like cities.

I like Disney music.

I have never heard of Three Dog Night.

I would like to visit Sao Paulo. I'm not from Sao Paulo. I'm not from the city.

I like the Museum of Art of São Paulo.

[Speaker 1] I bought tickets to the Museum of Art of São Paulo.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. You'll love it! When do you go?

[Speaker 1] I am planning to go next week with my boyfriend

[Speaker 2] Great! I'm so glad that you're able to go so soon. What else do you have plans to do there? Of course food, but what else?

[Speaker 1] I plan to do lots of shopping

[Speaker 2] There's great shopping there. Some places are expensive, but you can find some great bargains. What does your boyfriend like to do? Shopping?

[Speaker 1] He likes to drink, so hoping I can find good bars or clubs to enjoy the night. We also look forward to have some refreshing beers by the beach. What's the most popular beach there?

[Speaker 2] There are all kinds of beaches there. What kind do you like? There are busy, calm, trendy, etc.

I live in a big city. I like cities.

I like Disney music.

I have never heard of Three Dog Night.

I love museums. I purchased tickets to an art museum. I am going to an art museum next weekend. I have a boyfriend. I am going to shop after my visit to the art museum.

I plan to visit the beach. I find beer refreshing.

Three Dog Night is my favorite band.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I've never had cow's tongue.

I like the Museum of Art of São Paulo.

[Speaker 1] When is your first music concert this summer?

[Speaker 2] I went to a concert on the fourth of July. It was great. What sort of art museum are you going to?

[Speaker 1] The museum has all sorts of galleries.  It has a sculpture garden outside.  I mostly like the impressionist paintings.  I like Van Gogh.  Was your concert outdoors?

[Speaker 2] Yes. That way they could have a fireworks show too. I love fireworks. Have you ever seen the fireworks at the Disney castle?

[Speaker 1] No, but I have been to Disney World in Florida.  I love fireworks too.  I want to get married on the 4th of July.  That was we will have a national holiday and fireworks for us every year!  It sounds like you've been to Disneyland?

[Speaker 2] No, but I thought you might have since you lived in LA for awhile. Did you get to see any live Disney music performances while you were at Disney World?

[Speaker 1] No, we rode a lot of rides that broke down.  We had to be rescued from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  It was stuck.  Someone put on waders and pushed us to the side to climb out.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Hopefully your trip to the art museum is much better than that. Did your boyfriend go to Disney World too?

[Speaker 1] No, I had a cousin that I went with.  We stayed in a hotel in Miami too and I got so sunburned on the beach!  I'm sure the art museum will be good if it isn't too crowded.  Was your concert crowded?

[Speaker 2] It was so crowded, but my older brothers went with me and kept me from getting squished. Make sure you wear sunscreen when you visit the beach this time!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I know to put on SPF 75 this time!  So what is the art museum in Sao Paulo like?

[Speaker 2] It is the best in South America! They have a huge collection of European art, and, of course, a lot of Brazilian art too. Are your daughters going to the beach with you?

I live in the big city.
I am an artist.
I have a dog.

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

I live in a big city, but I'm a country gir.

I'm very athletic. I run. My favorite drink is coffee.

I'm a local artist.

I grew up in the city.

I like iced tea.

I just cut and colored my hair.

[Speaker 1] Hello! I am country girl living in the big city. Where are you from?

[Speaker 2] I grew up completely different, in the city. Where do you like to visit?

[Speaker 1] I have one dog and enjoy visiting dog parks with him cross-country.

[Speaker 2] My cat just gave birth to a kitten. I love seeing animals at the zoo.

[Speaker 1] I'm very athletic and run when I'm not having my favorite drink, which is coffee.

[Speaker 2] Iced tea is what I prefer to drink. Have you done anything fun recently?

[Speaker 1] I am a local artist and recenlt held a major drawing con.

[Speaker 2] Interesting! I just colored my hair, as well as got it cut.

[Speaker 1] Cool! What's a fun fact about yourself?

[Speaker 2] I have one pet, a cat. She goes with me everywhere, along with her kitten.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, I just have my dog. My best friend.

[Speaker 2] Best friends are good. Where is a place you like to visit?

I'm a local artist.

I grew up in the city.

I like iced tea.

I just cut and colored my hair.

[Speaker 1] How are the kittens doing today?

[Speaker 2] They are wobbling around here and there but mostly sleeping a lot! They are the most adorable things I've ever seen!!

[Speaker 1] How cute? All baby animals are so adorable? How many kittens do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have one from my cat and my friends cat also had kittens so we thought we would put them all together for a few weeks to let them play and get adjusted to the world. How's your dog doing? You go to any interesting spots in the city?

[Speaker 1] He is doing just fine. He really likes going to dog parks and play with other dogs.  I also started taking him with me when I go running or hiking.

[Speaker 2] Thats amazing! He must be loving all that exercise! I always wondered about dog parks... like if the dogs would actually get along there or just bark at each other haha

[Speaker 1] Haha I thought about that too before I got my dog. Surprisingly most of them get along just fine.  I guess all those dog owners know their dogs and they don't bring the ones that bark a lot. When are you going to the zoo?

[Speaker 2] I haven't decided on going anytime too soon because of the kittens. I know they're safe in their mammas paws but I can't bare to leave them alone yet. The zoo is the one place I can't take mamma and her kitten so I've been holding off on going. I miss seeing all the apes and giraffes though!

[Speaker 1] You are so sweet for taking care of all those kittens so much. I am sure they will became more independent soon and you will be able to do more things. I guess it is like having a baby or babies haha Do you need to feed them anything or does mama cat take care of everything?

[Speaker 2] haha I love them too much. They are more independent than I want them to be. (I am so the crazy cat lady!) Luckily mama cat (Spiral) is nursing her kitten well and shes even helped nurse my friends kittens!

[Speaker 1] That's great! Not all animals will accept other animal's babies. Are you just watching a lot of TV since you are staying home with them?

[Speaker 2] I know! I thought that our cats wouldnt get along when they were younger but they actually got along famously and have known each other nearly since birth. I actually have been watching a lot of tv and playing board games with my friend- she's been staying over too.

I'm a local artist.

I exercise outdoors.

I grew up in the city.

I have a cat who just had kittens. I like going to the zoo. I take care of my responsibilities.

I like iced tea.

I just cut and colored my hair.

I don't know much about dog parks.

I have a house. I watch tv. I play bored games. I have friends.

[Speaker 1] My art might be chosen for an art gallery

[Speaker 2] That's so cool.  What did you create? I've only known one other person whose work got into a gallery.

[Speaker 1] I paint landscape scenes with UFOs in them.  It's my commentary on the beauty of nature and the invasiveness of technology on nature.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is original!  No wonder your work got chosen.  I see your angle on it, why did you choose extra-terrestrial tech and not ours to make the commentary?

[Speaker 1] I wanted to underscore how foreign we as humans often are to the places our communities and industries bleed into.  Also, I felt like the UFOs would be startling and maybe thought-provoking in terms of thinking about how everything on earth, and the universe as a whole, fits together.  Also, UFOs are easy to paint.

[Speaker 2] Deep thinker and pragmatic too, if anyone deserves to get exhibited, someone like that does.  Well done!  Anyway, what's your next piece going to be about?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to take my dog with me on a trip to Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.  I'm going to try to do some painting there, though I'll have to see the terrain before I know what I'd ultimately like to paint.  I've never been to North Dakota so I'm looking forward to it.

[Speaker 2] Me neither, but the pictures I've seen look impressive.  I don't have a dog, I'm more of a cat person.  Although, I do regret not having a pet that can accompany on walks into the countryside.

[Speaker 1] What do you think you're going to do with all your kittens?  Are you going to give them away eventually?

[Speaker 2] That's a good question.  They are so cute it's hard to give them away, but I don't have room for so many cats.  Are you interested in having one?

[Speaker 1] Hmm, that's a good question.  I think I'd have to pass because I couldn't bring the cat everywhere I take my dog.  But I have a few family members who might be willing if you need more taken off your hands.

[Speaker 2] Yes please ask them.  They grow so quickly and it won't be long when they are ready to go to a new home.  Well what have you planned for later today?

I have one dog. I take him to dog parks. My dog doesn't bark a lot. I like animals. I can't get a cat because of my dog. I have family members that like cats.

I'm a local artist.

I exercise outdoors.

I paint UFO landscapes. My art has a deeper meaning about technology. My art examines the unfamiliarity of humans in the natural world. I find painting UFOs easy.

I'm going to be starting a new art piece. I'm going on a trip to North Dakota to a national park. I've never been to North Dakota before.

I grew up in the city.

I like iced tea.

I just cut and colored my hair.

I don't know much about dog parks.

I've never been to North Dakota.

[Speaker 1] I spoke to my sister, she would like a kitten.

[Speaker 2] Is she looking for a specific breed? Would she be interested in more than one?

[Speaker 1] Yes, actually. She is specifically looking for a Siamese. And potentially a breeding pair. Is that something you could offer?

[Speaker 2] Not that type specifically but I do know some one that has pure breeds and might have what you are looking for. Does your sister have a price range that she would like to stay in?

[Speaker 1] Yes, she can really only afford probably $300-500 for each kitten at the very most. Do you think you could work with a budget like that?

[Speaker 2] I will have to check, that is midrange so there is a strong possibility that he works within that price point. If not are there any other breeds your sister will consider?

[Speaker 1] I know she did express some interest in the Persian breeds as well, do you have any of those?

[Speaker 2] He does have those but I am afraid those are too expensive for how much your sister is willing to spend. He does have some Oriental Shorthair's that would be at the top of her range but doable.

[Speaker 1] I'm afraid I'm more of a dog person, so I'm not really familiar with that breed. I would really have to get in touch with her and see what her thoughts are, if that is alright?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. Let me contact him and get a list together with all of his available breeds and their pricing. Then your sister can look it over and decide.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, that would be great. I appreciate it. What can you tell me about the Oriental Shorthair that I could relay to her in the meantime?

[Speaker 2] I think it is your best bet. Not only do they resemble the Siamese in appearance but this breed is incredibly fun loving and playful.

I'm a local artist.

I exercise outdoors.

My sister wants a Siamese kitten.I like dogs more that cats.

I grew up in the city.

I like iced tea.

I just cut and colored my hair.

I don't know much about dog parks.

I have too many cats. My cats name is spiral. I prefer cats over dogs. I have multiple kittens and I cannot keep all of them. I know someone that owns pure breed kittens.

I've never been to North Dakota.

I am dependable.

[Speaker 1] My sister and I met up with your friend to pick up the kitten and she loves it, thank you!

[Speaker 2] Excellent! Let me know if you know anybody else that wants a cat

[Speaker 1] Will do! I wish I could offer to take one, but you know... Maybe my sister will want another one, though, to keep the first one company!

[Speaker 2] I bet your dog would hate them, too! Do you take your dog on trips?

[Speaker 1] I do when it's a short trip, but I won't be able to take him to North Dakota, so he'll stay in a pet hotel. Normally my sister would care for him when I'm away, but that won't be possible anymore. I don't suppose you've ever taken your cat on a trip?

[Speaker 2] No, too much work. I have a friend who checks up on them daily and I let her stay at my house. I wonder what North Dakota is like

[Speaker 1] A lot of open space, which will be a nice change of pace from the city. Been feeling a bit suffocated with all the people and traffic lately. Looking forward to painting outside there. Have you been to many states?

[Speaker 2] Not really, I stayed in the city my whole life. Any ideas for your new art piece?

[Speaker 1] That's too bad -- you should pick a few places for a road trip this year! I haven't decided what I'm going to paint yet, but I already have a color scheme in mind. I want to use dark shades, which I find really challenging compared to bright colors. It's tough to make a painting pop if you're working with brown or black or gray only.

[Speaker 2] Will there be UFO's in it? I am interested in a road trip, somewhere warm

[Speaker 1] Definitely UFOs, but I want to try something subtle this time. Like you have to look carefully to realize what it is. Not sure if I can do it well! For your trip, perhaps you can try southern Louisiana and head towards Florida. A lot of great food along the coast there.

[Speaker 2] I'd enjoy that if someone came with me. Your new piece will be related to the natural world, then?

[Speaker 2] Are you tall, I'm relatively tall person..

[Speaker 1] I am, a little too tall. My wife and I sleep in separate rooms.

[Speaker 2] That not good sleep in separate room, do you have pets..

[Speaker 1] No, they make the room smell.

[Speaker 2] Okay I have a dog name drunky. I keep him outside..

[Speaker 1] My twin sister has a dog, she keeps him inside too..

[Speaker 2] Okay. What kind of car you have. I have subaru legacy..

[Speaker 1] We have an oldsmobile, have had it for a while..

[Speaker 2] Some people touch there toes with there nose, I don't.

[Speaker 1] My sister just called me and asked if I could dog sit for her this weekend.

[Speaker 2] Uh oh. Are you going to say yes?

[Speaker 1] As you know I am not a big fan of pets, but it is my sister and I'm here last option so I feel like I have to

[Speaker 2] Would you be able to just drop in and take care of the dog? Or would you have to keep him (her?) there with you?

[Speaker 1] I would have to go to her place and honestly I would rather do that. My wife and I had a fight today. But since we're on the topic of dogs, how is Drunky doing?

[Speaker 2] He's doing fine. He likes the warm weather we've been having. I hope it wasn't a serious fight.

[Speaker 1] Every fight now seems like it's a serious fight, no matter how small it may be. I think we're on our last legs, but we have to think about the kids

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be complicated with the kids, but I would think what's best for them is to have two parents who are happy -- whether or not you're together. My parents split up when I was ten and it was good for all of us in the long run.

[Speaker 1] I do keep getting told that, I think that might be the best idea. We definitely are not happy at all and I know if she found out we were talking about this she would be even more upset

[Speaker 2] Well let's talk about something else then. I wouldn't want to stress you out. Tell me about your kids! How many do you have? I don't have any, it's just me and Drunky

[Speaker 1] We have two kids, they are just great. Two boys with a lot of energy. They make me feel young again...until my back starts hurting.

[Speaker 2] Getting older is no fun at all. My back doesn't bother me, but my knees aren't as young as they used to be. I like to go for walks so I'm hoping to get back into shape there

My name is Charles.

I don't like spicy foods.

My wife and I sleep in separate bedrooms. Sometimes my wife and I argue. We are not a happy couple. We might be separating soon. We also have two boys, which is a consideration when we think about divorcing.

I don't like pets.

I have a twin sister, she has a dog. I sometimes have to dogsit for her even though I don't like pets very much.

I drive an old Oldsmobile.

Gold is my favorite metal.

My little boys help me keep young. Sometimes I have back pain.

My name is Tiffany. I'm tall.

I drive a Subaru Legac.

My favorite metal is white gold.

I have no children.

My parents divorced when I was ten years old. It was a positive event.

I have trouble with my knees sometimes. I like going for walks. I'd like to get back in shape.

[Speaker 1] I decided to contact a lawyer to see what my options are regarding a separation from my wife.

[Speaker 2] I think it is a good idea, in my case, things when better when my parents divorced. Have you talked to your children about it ?

[Speaker 1] We had a heart-to-heart the other day about it.  I think the oldest sort of understood, the youngest still didn't really get it.  It's nice to have someone supportive like you to confide in though.

[Speaker 2] And how your wife is reacting to it ?

[Speaker 1] She had threatened it for years and may is offended I made the first move, but she ultimately agreed.  The sooner we do this the better I think.

[Speaker 2] Have you decided what will you do with the children ?

[Speaker 1] I will be looking for a place close by.  I think that we may end up alternating time.  I hate not being with them all day though.  How did your parents handle you when they got divorced?

[Speaker 2] Well they decided that I will stay at one place and they move in and out. I helped me a lot dealing with it.

[Speaker 1] That's an interesting arrangement, but it sounds like it really worked for you.  I think the lawyer will help lay out all of the options for us.  I am really ready for a fresh start!

[Speaker 2] I am happy for you, are you planning something to celebrate your new start ?

[Speaker 1] Once I find a place, I would love to have a house warming party.  Would you be interested in coming?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I love to to! When is it ?

My name is Charles.

I don't like spicy foods.

I don't like pets.

I drive an old Oldsmobile.

Gold is my favorite metal.

I'm getting separated from my wife. I contacted a lawyer for help. My wife wanted to get divorced first, but I started the process. I want shared custody of my children. I'm looking for a new place to live. I'm excited about my new life as a divorced man.

My name is Tiffany. I'm tall.

I drive a Subaru Legac.

My favorite metal is white gold.

I have no children.

[Speaker 1] Have you been on any interesting walks with Drunky lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really, it has been raining too much to go out. How are things with your family?

[Speaker 1] Things are good with the family and the kids. How often do you usually go out on a walk with Drunky?

[Speaker 2] At least for a few short ones everyday as he has to go pee. But also sometimes not so much because my bad knee.

[Speaker 1] Ah do you bring Drunky in win its raining or do you keep him outside still?

[Speaker 2] Oh, he's an inside dog and only goes out to play and do his business.

[Speaker 1] So when its raining you keep him outside too? You don't bring him in?

[Speaker 2] No, I mean he always stays inside.

[Speaker 1] oh okay. Do you guys usually go on long walks or short walks when it's sunny out?

[Speaker 2] Fairly long walks if it is not too sunny and hot. Do you take the dogs that you dog sit for long walks?

[Speaker 1] No not really, Im not a big fan of dogs or any pets. My sister loves taking them for walks though.

[Speaker 2] Did you ever have a dog with your sister when growing up?

My name is Charles.

I don't like spicy foods.

I don't like pets.

I drive an old Oldsmobile. I drive a Subaru Legac.

Gold is my favorite metal.

I don't like dogs or any pets. I have a sister who likes walking dogs.

My name is Tiffany. I'm tall.

I have a dog named Drunky who stays outside.  He enjoys warm weather. I take my dog on long walks.

My favorite metal is white gold.

I have no children.

[Speaker 1] Where do you go for walks?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes just around town.  I have been trying to get to different parks for a change of pace and to increase the difficulty a bit.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. It can get boring if you always go to the same places. Do you listen to audiobooks or podcasts when you walk?

[Speaker 2] I do on occasion, but I try and clear my head and just contemplate my universe most of the time. Often I listen to them while I work. Are the podcasts and audio books something you do often?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, especially lately, as I've gotten more distant from my wife. I listen to a lot of self improvement podcasts, but I also just like fiction as long as it's not too dark. What kinds do you listen to?

[Speaker 2] Social and science podcast mainly. One on history. I do like to listen to inspirational people. They help with setting goals, when you see what other people have done with their lives.

[Speaker 1] Those are really good. Recently I've been listening to Stuff You Missed in History Class, which is pretty interesting. A lot of side stories in history about people we might not have learned about before. I highly recommend it.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to check it out. A lot has developed/opened up in history since I was taking classes on it! How has life been at home? Has it stayed reasonable?

[Speaker 1] We're trying to keep things calm for the kids. Any advice for me, as a child of divorce? I don't want them to feel neglected during this tough period.

[Speaker 2] What I went through was kind of messy. My parents and I both were much happier when the divorce was final! So, I'm glad to hear it calm. Sounds like your doing a good job. Just avoid anger. its not worth it and the kids will see it.

[Speaker 1] You're right. So far I think we are doing okay, but the custody discussions will probably make things more tense for everybody. And of course after we set up separate homes there will be an adjustment period for all of us. I'm optimistic, though!

[Speaker 2] It may be a really nice change for everyone. Just remember its never all good. The grass is always greener until you get there and realize its just grass and you have to work to keep it green!

I could not be a vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] Hello I enjoy reading, and would like to talk with you about our dark lord sauron.

[Speaker 2] Are you a lotr fan? That is lotr, right?

[Speaker 1] Yes it is! We will get on swell.

[Speaker 2] Love those movies. I like to read too but don't have time anymore.

[Speaker 1] The books were epic, only george rr martin can compare.

[Speaker 2] What kind of work do you do? I'm a travel agent and work mostly from my computer.

[Speaker 1] I run a charity, im a very kind person.

[Speaker 2] That's good. I like to ride my bike in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] My mom enjoyed bike riding, she was a doctor.

[Speaker 2] I listen to music to relax too.

[Speaker 1] My father is a fire chief and sings opera at the animal shelter. The dogs howl.

[Speaker 2] Lol! I could never be a vegetarian.

I like to read. I like Lord Sauron.

I run a charity. I am kind.

I am a travel agent.

I like to ride my bike.

I listen to music to relax.

I could not be a vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] What kind of music do you listen to when you are relaxing?

[Speaker 2] I like all country music and sometimes some jazz

[Speaker 1] I'm not familiar with country music but I do like some jazz, even though I'm just starting to get into it. Any artist or album recommendations?

[Speaker 2] my favorite country band is zac brown, and I like winton marsellis for jazz

[Speaker 1] I think I like big band jazz. Is Winton Marsellis that kind of jazz?

[Speaker 2] he does play in large bands but also has a few solo alburms

[Speaker 1] I see. Guess what - I'm starting to reread the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but in audiobook form! Maybe that could help you get back into reading even though you're really busy? What do you think?

[Speaker 2] You know thats probably a great idea.  Sometimes I have this idea that if i have read a book I don't want to read it again. But the lord of rings is such a good book I should make an exception

[Speaker 1] I totally think you should give it a chance. I'm already noticing some things about the story that I didn't see before. Interactions between certain characters and such. If you'd like, I can send you the audiobook files.

[Speaker 2] That would be great it so much easier to listen to a book than to read it

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I've been listening during my commute and it helps the time go by more quickly.

[Speaker 2] Thats a great way to keep up on reading

I like to read. I like Lord Sauron.

I run a charity. I am kind.

I like some jazz music. I'm not familiar with country music. I like big band jazz.

I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings trilogy audiobook. i listen to audiobooks during my commute.

I am a travel agent.

I like to ride my bike.

I could not be a vegetarian.

I like country music and sometimes jazz. my favorite country band is zac brown, and I like winton marsellis for jazz.

i want to get back into reading.

[Speaker 1] I'm almost done listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

[Speaker 2] I haven't read the books before, but I have seen the movies. Would you recommend the audiobooks to someone who normally likes to read?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it can be a different way to hear the same book. I recommend picking by the reader, not the author.

[Speaker 2] Sounds reasonable, if I don't like the speaker of an audiobook, I might tune out. Do you normally listen to audiobooks of your favorite novels, or do you read them first?

[Speaker 1] I listen first. Usually a good reader can bring a book alive. Sometimes the words seem dry on the page but a lot more entertaining when someone reads them.

[Speaker 2] I normally like to read a book, before seeing the movie or even the show. Although I haven't had time to do so for the books coming out that I want to read. I might listen to more audibooks on my bike rides instead of listening to music.

[Speaker 1] I listen to audiobooks while sitting in traffic. Otherwise I would get pretty antsy just sitting there. Audiobooks on a bike ride? I suppose you could. Usually I like music with exercise, but maybe it could work.

[Speaker 2] Thats a good point, I'll give it a shot and see if it works out. What kind of music do you like to listen to while you work out, is it Jazz or something else?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I listen to jazz. There are many flavors of jazz. Bebop is fast tempo stuff, good for exercise.

[Speaker 2] Good to know, I normally try to avoid slower tempo songs or music while I work out. It doesn't seem to pump me up as much, which is why I don't listen to country when I work out.

[Speaker 1] Probably country music is good  for dancing, good for parties and relaxing. Jazz works for me, but probably not for most people.

[Speaker 2] I agree, country is good for other occasions, if you enjoy it. Does your father have an event coming up that he has to go to?

I like to read. I like Lord Sauron.

I run a charity. I am kind.

I've "read" the Lord of the Rings trilogy on audiobook.  I choose books based on the reader, not the author. I'd rather listen to a book than read it. Reading seems dry to me.

I like to listen to bebop when I exercise. I think country music is good for dancing and for parties.

I am a travel agent.

I like to ride my bike.

I could not be a vegetarian.

i want to get back into reading.

I've seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies.

I won't listen to audiobooks if I don't like the sound of the speaker. I prefer reading books before seeing the movie. I've been too busy to read lately. I listen to music when I ride my bike.

I like fast tempo songs when I workout.

[Speaker 1] Last weekend I listened to some great live jazz music.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I enjoy listening to jazz but honestly only when it's live. Where did you go to listen?

[Speaker 1] I agree, this was my first time listening to live jazz and it was much better.  I went to a jazz club in Detroit.  It was nice and they had good drinks too!

[Speaker 2] Wow! I travel to Detroit frequently for music work and I never knew there was a jazz club. The drinks sound like a plus, too.

[Speaker 1] There are many nice jazz venues there.  You should check some of them out the next time that you go.

[Speaker 2] I will definitely keep an eye out for them. Do you live in Detroit?

[Speaker 1] I do.  I'm originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan but I just got a job in Detroit.  It's a much better city than people make it out to be.

[Speaker 2] I agree, doing some research before a visit really helps make it enjoyable. I live in Toledo, so I visit often. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] Not too far from me! I work in the lab at a major hospital in Detroit.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I actually have a bachelor's in biology and also worked in a lab for a while after I graduated, but then left and chose to pursue a career as a musician.

[Speaker 1] Why did you choose that career?

[Speaker 2] I floated around a few laboratories and found that it wasn't something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. But primarily, I've always had a love for making music. It is how I can truly express myself.

I like to read. I like Lord Sauron.

I run a charity. I am kind.

I enjoy live Jazz music. I like mixed drinks. I have visited many Jazz venues in Detroit.

I live and work in Detroit. I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I work at a hospital in Detroit in the lab.

I am a travel agent.

I like to ride my bike.

I could not be a vegetarian.

i want to get back into reading.

I like fast tempo songs when I workout.

I enjoy live Jazz music. I go to Detroit for music work often. I like mixed drinks. I enjoy visiting jazz venues.

I live in Toledo. I like Detroit.

I have a bachelor's in Biology. I used to work in a lab then switched my career to being a musician. I love making music to express myself.

[Speaker 1] You will never guess what I just heard while I was out. It was a group of three people singing jazz in front of the deli I went to for lunch and they sounded amazing. Do you ever run into any live unknown bands in your area that just sing for fun and entertainment outside of businesses you visit?

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh that's so cool! Aside from the occasional busker playing for money I've never run into anything like that!

[Speaker 1] Yes, it was out of the ordinary thats for sure! Have you made any new music recently?

[Speaker 2] I've been playing and recording some experimental jazz. I'm not ready for anyone else to hear it quite yet!

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, I understand! Do you think you will get to the point where you will want to play at a large venue?

[Speaker 2] I would love to! That's definitely the dream! Right now I'm just trying to get smaller gigs where I can. I should try and book something in Detroit!

[Speaker 1] Definitely, I would love to attend and I know some of my friends would want to come too.

[Speaker 2] Cool, I will start seeing what kind of connections I have in that area and I'll see if I can make it happen! How has work been for you?

[Speaker 1] It has been very busy, I am ready for a much needed vacation. We had a big mix up in the lab the other day that took hours to correct and we are still back logged due to the error.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! That sounds awful. I'm so sorry. I don't miss that kind of busy work at all. Do you have vacation time coming up?

[Speaker 1] I don't have anything planned but I need to take some time off, even if it is just to hang out at home! Do you have any upcoming trips planned?

[Speaker 2] Other than putting out feelers for venues I could play at, I don't have any solid plans. I'd love to put together sort of a mini tour though.

I am a straight a student.
My father is a steel worker.
My mother is a homemaker.
I love music.

I'm a painter.
I like making music.
I don't want a boss.

I live within my means.

I am a student.  My dad works at a steel mill.  My mom is a bum. My mom is a homemaker.

I compete in track meets.

I like music.

I am gig worker.  I make money making music.  I make money painting.

I have been in bankruptcy.  I live frugally.

My music speaks to me.

[Speaker 1] Hi, what do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] Hey man, I do different things I make music I paint, having a boss ain't for me.

[Speaker 1] Groovy! I'm a student, but my dad works at the steel mill. Moms a bum.

[Speaker 2] I just want us all to love one another and be loved..

[Speaker 1] That's too bad competition drives humanity, like how I win track meets.

[Speaker 2] Well, I was in bankruptcy from my competitive streak but I now live frugally.

[Speaker 1] It's too bad you consistantly make terrible choices. Straight a '.

[Speaker 2] Hey man I spread the love and am trying to love you right now but it's hard.

[Speaker 1] I like music more than you.

[Speaker 2] Does the music really speak to you? Mine speaks to me and everyone in a mile radius.

[Speaker 1] You should see a doctor about that. I'm smart straight as so you can trust me.

[Speaker 2] It's hard to feel love for you right now.

[Speaker 1] That's fine my mom the homemaker loves me.

[Speaker 2] Your mom loves me too.

I compete in track meets.

I like music.

My music speaks to me.

[Speaker 1] My dad wants to hire a musician for my mom's birthday would you be interested?

[Speaker 2] Oh absolutely man! When's the party planned for?

[Speaker 1] It will be the 14th of July. Going to be a big surprise, so don't tell!

[Speaker 2] Oh sure thing. What kind of music does your mom like? I'll write a special song

[Speaker 1] She is in to Venetian opera music, but I am sure some rad beach tunes would work.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I don't think I can manage much Venetian opera music with my acoustic guitar and I'm definitely no Andrea Boccelli. I've got more of a Billy Corgan voice

[Speaker 1] You do you. She'll love it! So sweet of you to write a song. This will be big for her as she has not really been out of the house in a few years.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I hear that, I didn't leave the house for a while myself once. I had just recovered from having my appendix removed and I got this rad inspiration, I spent almost a whole year sitting at home painting and writing music and I only went out to buy toilet paper

[Speaker 1] You certainly need to be sure that you never run out of that. Wild! I guess you really do love making those terrible choices. I mean, thanks for doing the party, but that is extreme.

[Speaker 2] Terrible choices make life more interesting. And expensive. But definitely interesting. I think I'll call the song, "My Kid Called Me a Bum"

[Speaker 1] Takes one to know one, Ms Frugal Living.

[Speaker 2] What can I say, I see things from an artist's perspective. So how's school going? Still getting straight As? There's always so much to learn in life.

I compete in track meets.

I like music.

My dad wants to hire a musician for my mom's birthday. My mom's surprise birthday party is the 14th of july. my mom likes Venetian opera music. My mom has not been out of the house in a few years.

I go to school. I'm getting straight As in school.

I am gig worker.  I make money making music. My music speaks to me. i write songs. i play acoustic guitar. i sing.

I make money painting.

I had my appendix removed. i paint.

[Speaker 1] How is the song you are writing going?

[Speaker 2] I  think I have writer's block, I haven't got any ideas. Do you have suggestions ?

[Speaker 1] What about starting with your financial experiences?  Remember when you filed for bankruptcy?  Start from that point and let the music flow through you.

[Speaker 2] I think it is a great idea, I could make it funny and upload to Youtube. Funny stuff is popular.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah!  That sounds really smart.  "I didn't hit rock bottom, the bottom of the rock hit me!"  LOL  I can see it now.  Then you start gaining a real following.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the inspiration, I could show also my paintings in the video. It would be free advertising. I will tell you when it is online.

[Speaker 1] I can't wait!  You know, I wish my mom had the same drive that you do.  So tired of her just laying around all the time.  My dad just puts up with it.  I like that you are a real doer.

[Speaker 2] Maybe she is suffering from depression, has she seen a doctor ?

[Speaker 1] Only for standard checkups.  I wonder if she needs to see a psychiatrist.  Actually, my dad says she is fine and just really introverted.  I guess when I was younger she was in an accident and only really feels safe at home.

[Speaker 2] Maybe she should see a therapist, maybe the accident caused some trauma.

[Speaker 1] Maybe.  I could be being too hard on her.  She is just capable of so much more and I'd like to see her moving and living!

[Speaker 2] You should encourage her, going to therapy need some strength and some people who need it the most don't have it.

I compete in track meets.

I like music.

I make money painting.

I had my appendix removed. i paint.

I have writer's block right now. I upload my music to YouTube.

[Speaker 1] I finally got some inspiration for the song you are writing!

[Speaker 2] Oh Yeah? What was your inspiration?

[Speaker 1] My mom. She never leaves the house and has mental health issues.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I will try to write something nice! How is planning for her surprise party going?

[Speaker 1] It's a bit challenging, but we're doing our best!

[Speaker 2] Oh good, do you think she suspects anything?

[Speaker 1] No, I don't think so. It will be a small gathering.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, so have you done anything fun lately?

[Speaker 1] I hope to over the summer. I just got out of school.

[Speaker 2] Okay, how did your school year go?

[Speaker 1] Great! I got straight A

[Speaker 2] That is really good! You must study a lot.

I compete in track meets.

I like music.

My mom likes to stay home. I think my mom needs a psychiatrist. My dad thinks my mom's introverted. My mom was in an accident when I was young. I wish my mom was more active. I am planning a surprise party for my mom.

I do well in school.

I make money painting.

I had my appendix removed. i paint.

I am writing a song.

[Speaker 1] Have you had any inspiration for a song?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I'm doing some writing but it's not my best work. I do need some inspiration.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever think about your parents in the way that I do?

[Speaker 2] I love my family and they do bring me joy. They always support me and inspire me to live my dreams. How are your parents doing? Is your mom feeling better?

[Speaker 1] She's been in and out of the hospital the last year, but this year she's doing so much better. I hope to be an inspiration to her one day, when she's in great health.

[Speaker 2] That's a beautiful thought. I'm sure you are already an inspiration for her. Are you still thinking about a surprise party for her?

[Speaker 1] We're going to have lounge chairs and anyone can stop by. Her birthday is actually two days later. I haven't confirmed anyone yet, but it's going to be a fun time.

[Speaker 2] I bet she will enjoy that. Let me know if you need any help with the party or the planning. How is school going? Are you still keeping you grades up?

[Speaker 1] That's always a given. I've never slacked on my studies. My parents wouldn't be happy with that. Did I forget to mention that they paid for my studies? That, and the scholarship I chose that approved me, which was really helpful. Actually, I almost forgot you were a musician for a second.

[Speaker 2] Awesome work with your studies. Yes, if you dad still wants to hire a musician let me know. I have a great friend who does country and another who performs current and pop music.

[Speaker 1] Would you help us rent a venue? I looked everywhere, and a lot of places really want money to get started. That would be awesome if you knew someone.

[Speaker 2] I would love to help with that and I do have many connections. Let me do some research and I'll get back to you. I'm sure we can find something really cheap or perhaps even free.


I love taking walks on the beach.

In my free time, I go on mountain hikes.

I can speak english and spanish fluently.

I'm currently in high school.

I am moving to a new house next week.

I like to run.
I don't eat gluten or dairy.
I have two daughters.
I like dogs better than cats.
I majored in psychology in college.

I enjoy running and walking on the beach.

I attend high school.

I run every day.
I am a vegan.
I have twin daughters.
I have a masters in psychology.
I like dogs more than cats.

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

[Speaker 2] Fine, just finished my hour daily run.

[Speaker 1] That's good. I love running and walking on the beach.

[Speaker 2] Great, I am a vegan.

[Speaker 1] Healthy I'm sure. Mountain hiking tomorrow after I get out of high school.

[Speaker 2] My twin daughters love my kale and beans salad.

[Speaker 1] I have never tried kale. Is it good?.

[Speaker 2] I just completed my maters in psychology.

[Speaker 1] I hope to be a spanish teacher since I am fluent in both that and english.

[Speaker 2] Being bilingual increases your earning potential.

[Speaker 1] I hope so. How old are your twins?

[Speaker 2] 3, I prefer dogs over cats.

I attend high school.

[Speaker 1] My mountain hike was a lot of fun!

[Speaker 2] I love hiking! Did you go alone or with friends/family?

[Speaker 1] It really was, it was challenging, but I enjoyed it. Wish I was on the beach though, not going to lie. Did you get your run in already today?

[Speaker 2] You and me both, especially since it's getting warmer! And yes I did, right after work! Maybe we can run together sometimes?

[Speaker 1] I would like that a lot, thanks! The mountain was beautiful, but it would have been more fun with a friend. Do you ever go running with your daughters?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I run with them sometimes, although they rather be at home playing! Do you have kids of your own?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, I still feel like a kid myself! A kid can't raise a kid right?!?

[Speaker 2] That's true! Although I see you trying to be a Spanish teacher! That's so exciting! Is there a reason why you want to go into teaching?

[Speaker 1] I just think teaching can be great if the teacher truly cares and I know I will. Our world is getting more diverse so I think it is even more important for kids to start learning languages earlier, especially Spanish! Do you speak any other languages?

[Speaker 2] I love your passion! I think you're going to be a great teacher! I don't speak any other languages although I sometimes bark at my dog if that counts LOL! Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] Maybe you could help me practice being a teacher, especially if you are interested in learning spanish. Oh no, no pets for me. I don't want to be responsible for any type of life just yet!

[Speaker 2] That's a win-win in my book! You can teach me Spanish and I can teach you a little something about psychology if you want!

I attend high school.

I am fluent in Spanish and English. I want to be a Spanish teacher. I enjoy teaching.

I do not have kids.

I don't have any pets.

I run every day. I love hiking. I like to run.

I am a vegan.

I have twin daughters.

I have a masters in psychology.

I like dogs more than cats.  I have a dog.

I only speak one language.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome! Psychology is a really cool subject and I'm always open to learning new things.

[Speaker 2] It's an interesting field for sure. I feel like it's always changing. New discoveries are being made every day about thoughts and how the brain works, etc.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you know all about the new information.  Have there been any interesting discoveries lately?

[Speaker 2] I've been reading a lot about how memories are stored and accessed. It's really facinating - for me. Lots of people probably aren't that interested in that. Any thoughts to where you might go to college? I assume you'll be going for education/teaching.

[Speaker 1] I live in Michigan so I'm thinking of going to Michigan State.  They have the best education program in the United States.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good plan. Michigan is beautiful, I've been a couple times on vacation. The lakes are so pretty. I am sure when you run it's pretty scenic.

[Speaker 1] It is.  That's the downside to moving inland if I go to Michigan State; I'll be much farther from Lake Michigan.

[Speaker 2] I am sure there are also parts of Michigan to explore - won't be the same, I know. At least it's only for four years!

[Speaker 1] True.  Hopefully I can get a job close to the lake afterwards and live there for the rest of my life.  How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 2] He's good. He's getting older and it's quite sad. I can see him slowing down. But we are still hiking each day, for as long as we can.

[Speaker 1] That's good.  Just enjoy every moment that you have with him.

[Speaker 2] Exactly, it will be heartbreaking, he's 13, which is super old for a large-breed dog. I've had him since he was a puppy. But yes, we are enjoying each day.

I attend high school.

I do not have kids.

I don't have any pets.

I live in Michigan. I will probably go to college at Michigan State. I would like to get a job close to Lake Michigan and live there the rest of my life.

I am a vegan.

I have twin daughters.

I have a masters in psychology.

I only speak one language.

I find psychology an interesting field. I have been reading about how memories are stored.

I have been to Michigan a few times on vacation.

[Speaker 1] Do you just have the one dog, have you ever thought about getting a second one?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. He doesn't really get a long with other dogs or animals. I had a friend of mine bring their dog over and mine spent the whole time growling. I actually had to put him away because he was being bad.

[Speaker 1] That sounds chaotic. This is why I don't have pets or children. I wouldn't be able to handle that behavior, but I do enjoy being a teacher. It's like having babysitting pets for a few hours.

[Speaker 2] I think you would make a great teacher to be honest. Also I can understand that completely. Kids especially can be a handful but I wouldn't trade mine for anything. I love them to pieces. The dog does get along with them. So you are saying you wouldn't ever get a pet? What about some fish in an aquarium or a bird?

[Speaker 1] Hm, maybe when I get older, but at the moment, I'm good on both pets and children. Being a teacher, well I guess tutor but that's the same thing, has really opened my eyes on how chaotic that is. I've seen furniture destroyed by animals. Birds are loud and destroy things. And fish tanks are expensive to keep maintained. I'm fine with just putting googlie eyes on a rock and calling it a day. Plus, I'm trying to save up for college. I wouldn't be able to take a pet with me when I go, why bother getting attached now?

[Speaker 2] I completely understand that. It's good that you are thinking things through. I was more curious as to if it was specifically dogs or cats that you didn't like. Different strokes for different folks. My dog doesn't destroy anything as I taught him when he was young. He destroyed one thing and I punished him for it. Now he knows better.

[Speaker 1] I would feel awful for punishing a pet though because they are just simple creatures. I wouldn't have the heart for it. Maybe it's because I'm just in high school and I haven't gotten a backbone yet. It just makes me scared for the future, what if I was too strong and wounded the animal?

[Speaker 2] When I say punish I don't mean physically. I scolded him and took his favorite toy away. I would never lay my hands on animal in that manner. I apologize I was not clear on that.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I get it. Same thing my parents do when I'm past curfew. They take my phone away. I didn't know that could work on animals. Don't animals think differently than humans. How could a dog have a favorite toy or understand a scolding?

[Speaker 2] They are fairly perceptive creatures. Taking away the toy is not enough alone. Scolding him and telling him over and over he's a bad dog or saying "No" can help them to understand. Usually it takes more than one time but he learned fairly quickly. Animals have different personalities like people. Some learn to behave well or naturally are sweet animals. Then some are just harder to deal with. My dog is fine as long as no other pets are around.

[Speaker 1] That's actually really rad. My friend has a dog, but he just seems like a lovable idiot. I didn't know animals could have personalities. So your dog is anti-social then since you said it doesn't like other animals? Does it like other people, atleast?

[Speaker 2] He's fine with the girls. He's actually a bit shy around other people too. It's just animals that he does not like really. He's an oddball but I love him. But enough about my dog. How are you doing in school?

I attend high school.

I do not have any pets or children. I do not want pets or children anytime in the near future. I am a tutor. I am saving up money to go to college.

I live with my parents. I have a cell phone.

I have a friend with a dog.

I am a vegan.

I have twin daughters. I love kids.

I have a masters in psychology.

I only speak one language.

My dog is getting old. I hike everyday with my dog. My dog is 13. I have a dog that does not get along with other dogs. I have a friend with a dog. I trained my dog myself when he was a puppy.

I do not believe in violence as punishment.

[Speaker 1] I made a decision about where I want to go to college. Now I am saving extra fast from excitement!

[Speaker 2] That's great! Where have you decided on going?

[Speaker 1] I officially decided on Michigan state since I want a job near the lake. I hope I will have enough money for it. I've been tutoring to the neighborhood children and I really enjoy teaching them. Do you think I should try to become a Spanish teacher?

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I've been to Michigan a few ties and I hear the college is really good too! Sure, I think you should! You would make a great Spanish teacher.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! I'm just so stressed about the funds for it because my parents don't want me to be a Spanish teacher. They said that they won't help pay for my classes if I don't go into a more STEM's program.

[Speaker 2] Well, as much as I always think you should listen to your parents advice, I really think what you want to do with your life is much more important! If you put your mind to it, I'm sure you can do it! Maybe, you could tutor Spanish to kids as a part time job to help you save money too?

[Speaker 1] That's what I've been doing so far, but once in college, I should get a part-time job on campus so that it's easier on me to go to work and class. I currently only make $7 a hour when I tutor kids, but my campus will pay $14 per hour, which would be better for me. I wish my parents understand why I love teaching Spanish. They said that being a teacher is a poor, dying job and won't make any money.

[Speaker 2] Hmm, well I think job satisfaction and quality of life is much more important that how much you make. Personally, I would prefer to work in a job I love, rather than earn lots doing something I don't really like.

[Speaker 1] Do you enjoy having a psychology degree? Do you regret anything from your college years?

[Speaker 2] No! I'm really glad I chose psychology. I found a job that matches my degree that I'm happy with, and I had a great time in collage too. Are you nervous about anything when you start at Michigan State?

[Speaker 1] I'm worried about peer pressure from both friends and family. I've done a few bad things because of my friends, but I don't want to be alone in college. My best friend, the one with the dog, has had me steal with her. If I get caught, will this ruin my chances at college?

[Speaker 2] I think everyone has done a few bad things in their time because of peer pressure. Well, unless you have a prior criminal record I don't think it would be too much of an issue, so I wouldn't worry. But, imagine how you would feel if you got kicked out because you stole something? Then ask yourself if its worth it..


I am a college student.
I enjoy playing soccer.
My mother runs a school.
I am an only child.
I am currently unemployed.

I like singing.

I am a person who enjoys running.

My parents met when they were in high school.

I have been to 20 different countries.

My favorite color is turquoise.

I am searching for a job.

I am a college student. I like to play soccer.

My mother runs the college. I study soccer.

My mom has a boyfriend. I live in my mom's basement.

I have no siblings.

I have never played soccer. I love to go running.

I love to sing.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! I am looking for a job! Any idea where I should look??

[Speaker 2] Well what skills do you have?

[Speaker 1] Well I am in college and I enjoy soccer a lot!

[Speaker 2] I never played soccer, but I love to run! What are you studying?

[Speaker 1] My mom runs the school so I am studying soccer.

[Speaker 2] I didn't know you could study soccer. Sport science?

[Speaker 1] Mom's boyfriend says I will live in mom's basement forever unless I change what I am studying.

[Speaker 2] Don't listen to him and follow what you love!

[Speaker 1] See that's what I'm saying! What do you love?

[Speaker 2] I love to sing, I do it whenever I can!

[Speaker 1] Wonderful! I hope to hear you on the radio one day.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I bet you will be an amazing soccer player!

[Speaker 1] I just wish I would have had siblings to practice with. Do you have any?

[Speaker 2] No, I am an only child, but my parents have been great..

I am searching for a job.

I have no siblings.

I love to sing.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] I think I may have secured a job!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, what kind of job did you apply for?

[Speaker 1] I applied to be a scuba diving instructor. I learned how to do it in college and never thought it would get me a job! Hahaa

[Speaker 2] How much are they going to pay you?

[Speaker 1] Not much. It's only 35,000 a year. But I guess it makes up for it that I'll be scuba diving almost every day!

[Speaker 2] I'm also looking for another job since I'm unhappy in my current one. Now you have given me more motivation to find one.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear that. What's going on in your current job? What's making you unhappy?

[Speaker 2] The workload is really intense and I feel that my boss does not appreciate my efforts.

[Speaker 1] Ugh, that sounds terrible. I can't believe someone who can't appreciate their team can go become a boss! It's unfair

[Speaker 2] My workplace is not a meritocracy. My boss is related to the owner of my company.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's even better. What kind of job would you be looking for?

[Speaker 2] Hopefully something in the sports or entertainment industry. I need work that excites and motivates me.

I am searching for a job.

I have no siblings.

I love to sing.

I am an only child.

I am looking for a new job. I do not like my current job. I feel unappreciated at work. I need work that feels exciting to me.

[Speaker 1] I had my first shift at my new job!

[Speaker 2] How did it go? Are your colleagues nice?

[Speaker 1] They seem to be but they do not engage too much

[Speaker 2] Oh so they are a bit lazy? What's your manager like?

[Speaker 1] The workers do only as much as they need to get by and the manager seems satisfied not to rock the boat

[Speaker 2] Well I hope they don't pile too much of the work on you then. How long ago did you train as a scuba diving instructor?

[Speaker 1] I finished my training and certifications about 2 years ago

[Speaker 2] That's great. I've never been scuba diving before though I'd like to try. Hearing about such an adventurous job makes me want to leave my boring office job even more!

[Speaker 1] What type of work are you looking for?

[Speaker 2] I think with my skill set that maybe I could move into the charity sector and work for a good cause. That way, even if it's not the most exciting role, at least I'd feel like I was making a difference. Do you think you'll still have time to play soccer alongside your new job?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure-I would like to but only if it does not interfere-what kind of charity work are you thinking about?

[Speaker 2] Maybe working for international aid or something like that. I'm not sure yet, I should start looking!

I am searching for a job.

I have no siblings.

I got a new job. I am a scuba diving instructor. I make 35,000 a year. My colleagues are nice but don't engage much. My co-workers are lazy and my manager doesn't seem to mind.

I was certified in scuba instructing two years ago.

I love to sing.

I am an only child.

I've never been scuba diving but would like to. I have a boring office job. I'm thinking about getting a new job. I'd like to work for a non-profit. I'd like to make a difference in my job.

[Speaker 1] A friend told me about an international non-profit that's looking for new employees.

[Speaker 2] Oh, really? Tell me more, please, so I can get out of this miserable job! Every day I spend there just feels like another day wasted.

[Speaker 1] The job is in international and domestic disaster relief, it is called Samaritan's Purse. They are always looking for passionate and compassionate people. It would involve a lot of travel though, are you open to that?

[Speaker 2] Uh, yeah! Absolutely! I'm so bored with my life here. I feel like I'm not making any kind of real impact on the world, or making myself a legacy I will be proud of. I feel like giving back and seeing the world could give me a bigger purpose! I am interested in learning more about Samaritan's Purse if you could tell me!

[Speaker 1] There are a few different employment path's that you could take through them. One would be working out of their headquarters in North Carolina and then going out on 2-3 year deployments to places in need. The other option is joining their DART team which puts you on 2-3 week deployments on an as needed basis. So, they have some different options depending on how long you want to be away for.

[Speaker 2] I think I would be more interested in a long term deployment, although, it is a lot for me to consider first, so I will have to learn more. But I know for sure that I am committed to leaving where I am currently and starting a new chapter of my life.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is a huge commitment. You could also start on a DART team to see if the company and position is a good fit for you, and then transfer into a long-term and full-time position if you are enjoying it. There is a lot to consider here and you are very talented so you will have a lot of opportunities.

[Speaker 2] If I were to try out the short term deployments first, would I be able to switch into a more long-term one if I would prefer? At least this way, I could see if it's a good fit first?

[Speaker 1] Yes, exactly!! That is definitely an option, and I think that would be the best route to take. They are always looking for people with medical, sanitation, water treatment, record-keeping, project management, or ministry experience. Do you have any of that?

[Speaker 2] I have a little experience in record-keeping and project management, as I've done these roles in my current office job. Would that work?

[Speaker 1] Certainly! Those are essential to keeping the non-profit running. I think that you would be a great fit within the non-profit. How soon are you looking to quit your job?

[Speaker 2] As soon as realistically possible - I need to stay a couple more pay periods so I can pay off a few loose ends, but after that, my lease on my apartment will be up as well, so I'll be free to go anywhere.

I am searching for a job.

I have no siblings.

I am knowledgeable about the Samaritan's Purse hiring practices.

I think the DART team is a good career option. I think non-profits can benefit from people with all kinds of experience.

I love to sing.

I am an only child.

I'd like to work for an international non-profit. I would enjoy doing humanitarian work. I am open to traveling.

I don't mind leaving my current area to work abroad. I currently do office work. I do record keeping and project management.

My lease on my apartment is up soon.

[Speaker 1] What is it you dislike about your current job that makes you feel miserable?

[Speaker 2] The work is boring and although I work hard and do a good job, no one notices.  It's just business related work. I don't feel like I'm doing something meaningful, like helping others.  What is a DART team?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, you want to feel like your work is rewarding and appreciated. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you come across a more rewarding opportunity soon. A DART team is a Disaster Assistance Response Team, helping people in immediate need.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds really interesting.  Is it like the Red Cross, helping after floods and hurricanes?

[Speaker 1] Yeah exactly! They help with a variety of emergencies. I don't think it's difficult to sign up to volunteer, and I'm sure they have other career options as well.

[Speaker 2] That would be nice because I am willing to travel all over.  So what is your involvement in Samaritan's Purse.  I've heard of them.  They are a Christian charity?

[Speaker 1] Yes, they are. I got involved with them in high school, and I've volunteered at their Christmas charity event every year. It's one of my favorite holiday traditions.

[Speaker 2] So what do they do at Christmas?

[Speaker 1] They collect presents and wrap them for children who otherwise may not receive any. It's great, a big group of us get together to wrap hundreds of gifts.

[Speaker 2] Nice!  I'd like to do volunteer work but I need a paying job too.  Did someone on the organization's paid staff set it up?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they'd love to have you! I don't know which positions are paid exactly, but I can ask a friend of mine there and get back to you. What kind of work would you be interested in doing with them?

[Speaker 2] Well I am already doing data collection and record keeping, and keeping an eye on the expenses and successes or failures of business projects.  But it would be more interesting to do something humanitarian like that.  I'd need a job that lasts longer than Christmas, lol!


My favorite song is moonlight sonata by beethoven.

I drive a volkswagen beetle.

My grandmother came from italy.

I own two handguns.

I only watch british television.

I am a vegetarian.
I support animal rights.
I am a male.
I have one son.
I like to recycle and reuse.

My grandma just went to Italy.
I only watch British tv.
I have two handguns.
I have a VW Beetle.
My favorite song is Moonlight Sonata.

My grandma and I don't always get along.

I like to recycle.

I have a son.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you?

[Speaker 2] Great! How are you?

[Speaker 1] Great! My grandma just got here from italy!.

[Speaker 2] How fun! Did she have a nice trip?

[Speaker 1] She did, but she's not happy because I will only watch british tv.

[Speaker 2] I know about grandma's being disappointed. We differ on my support of animal rights.

[Speaker 1] Yeah she doesn't like my two handguns either lol.

[Speaker 2] Oh. That would be tough!

[Speaker 1] She likes my vw beetles though.

[Speaker 2] Did you get an old beetle? I think people should recycle and reuse old stuff.

[Speaker 1] It is! I like to listen to moonlight sonata while I drive it's my fav song.

[Speaker 2] Hmm. I'm unsure what that is. I will have to ask my son. He is hip.

I like to recycle.

I have a son.

[Speaker 1] Does your son share your passion for recycling?

[Speaker 2] Not at all lol. He is too lazy and just throws everything into the big trash bin we have.

[Speaker 1] That must be so frustrating. Do you go back and separate everything he puts in there or could you not be bothered with that?

[Speaker 2] I used to do that, but it's too time consuming. I hope that he will eventually mature and understand how important it is to recycle.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about taking something he likes away so he recycles? Or do you feel its his choice to make with that?

[Speaker 2] I think with time, he will understand the significance of doing your part for the environment. Maybe when he gets older and starts car buying since many cars are going electric now. By the way, how is your VW Beetle? Is it the new electric one or the classic Beetle?

[Speaker 1] You'd be happy to know that it is the new electric one. I have to do my part to help the environment no matter how small an impact it might be

[Speaker 2] I'm actually thinking about getting an electric car also. I'm eyeing the Tesla but I feel that everyone drives those now.

[Speaker 1] For good reason I think right. I don't know much about the actual cars, but people seem to like them alot. You should get one if you really like it!

[Speaker 2] I know, that seems to be the trend nowadays. Plus states are giving incentives such as tax cuts and more lanes dedicated to electric vehicles.

[Speaker 1] So when basically everyone has electric cars, will gas guzzlers get their own lanes? lol

[Speaker 2] They just might lol. there will always be people who prefer conventional cars to the electric ones.

I have a lazy son.

I deeply value recycling.

I want a Tesla.

[Speaker 1] How's your lazy son holding up?

[Speaker 2] Thank you! He is doing great now :) Did your grandma get back from Italy? How did she like it?

[Speaker 1] My grandma won't get back until two weeks later. I quite like her stamina traveling so much at her age! How is your grandma getting along?

[Speaker 2] Oh she's fine, we just don't talk that much... and that's OK! lol

[Speaker 1] With all the time I have before my grandma gets back, I can tinker a bit on my electric Beetle. Little fuel -- sorry, wattage -- efficiency tweaks and that kind of thing.

[Speaker 2] How's the Beetle working for you? I always wanted one! :))) Ehy do you only watch british TV btw? Is there a specific reason for that?

[Speaker 1] The Beetle is a reliable workhorse, good 'nuff for me! Which means I can indulge in the finer points of the Goldilocks-just-right pacing and lack of extraneous fluff that makes me come back to British TV shows.

[Speaker 2] YOu sound so technical! :)) That's awesome. I do like british tv shows to... speaking of which... just last week I watched The Circle UK on Netflix lol

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry, haven't heard of it...but I can wholeheartedly recommend Britbox (britbox.com) and its comedies, like Blackadder.

[Speaker 2] For real? Never heard of it but I will definitely look it up! Thanks :)

[Speaker 1] I heard you're pretty big on recycling...I can recommend some good environmental science shows from the BBC, and also gardening if you're into it.

My grandma just went to Italy.
I only watch British tv.

I watch a British show on Netfilx called The Circle UK.

[Speaker 1] What other cars intrest you?

[Speaker 2] I'm interested in smart cars, but I don't know a lot about them.

[Speaker 1] I used to have a mini cooper. I loved the gas mileage but I never had room for my long legs. I really want to get a FIAT someday.

[Speaker 2] Fiats are small also, are they not?

[Speaker 1] They are but supposedly they have more leg room. I would definitely have to be sure of that before getting one. I also hear that FIATs can drive under water, so that might come in handy on rainy days here in Seattle.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! That's very interesting. I didn't know that.

[Speaker 1] Yes, a weird but fun fact that may come up in trivia some day. My grandma actually got to the main manufacturing plant for FIATs when she was in Italy.

[Speaker 2] I'll definitely tuck that information away!

[Speaker 1] I really like to do trivia on the weekend with some of my friends at a local bar. Have you ever gone to trivia?

[Speaker 2] I have. It's fun, but I'm not great at it.

[Speaker 1] The nice thing about trivia is that there is so much variety that you can usually find at least one game around tailored to your individual experiences. What kind of hobbies do you have besides cars?

[Speaker 2] I like watching Netflix. I especially enjoy British shows.

My grandma just went to Italy.

I only watch British tv.

I am not good at trivia.

I like watching Netflix. I enjoy watching British shows.

[Speaker 1] I watched Only Fools and Horses the yesterday, its a British classic

[Speaker 2] Is it good? What is it about?

[Speaker 1] In a nut shell it follows two brothers and their attempts at love and to get rich. Absolute classic.

[Speaker 2] It sounds good! Have you ever watched Call the Midwife? It is one of my favorites!

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't seen that yet. I am going more old school right now. I am watching Keeping Up Appearances from beginning to end. Side note, I did just read about Call the Midwife getting renewed and will put it on my list to watch.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is a must-watch in my opinion. It has an old time historical feel that is just so cozy. My son has watched it a few times over. He is so lazy. That is all he wants to do is watch stuff.

[Speaker 1] As much as I want to tell him to get off the couch and get some sunshine I must admit it is pretty addictive. The main character, Hyacinth is hilarious. Just consider it part of his social education, lol.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I hope someday he will get some motivation.My grandma keeps telling me to kick him out of my house. Maybe I'll join him for some binge watching and then bribe him to go grocery shopping for me.

[Speaker 1] All you need is the right carrot. So, aside from the binge watching, what has he been into lately? Maybe you can light a fire under him if he could just be passionate about something.

[Speaker 2] Other than that he pretty much eats, sleeps, and poops. I wonder if he has something wrong with him physically. I want him to go to the doctor but he says he doesn't feel like it.

[Speaker 1] Maybe he needs a therapist. Do you think he might be depressed? Either way, make him see someone for this directionless path he is on.

[Speaker 2] He definitely doesn't seem depressed. He is very jolly and happy, just lazy. It's very hard knowing how to get him to see someone. He thinks he is ok.
