[Speaker 1] since we spoke about league of legends i played it all last night and have fallen in love again. Do you think we could play some time?

[Speaker 2] Oh absolutely lets organise a night we can play against each other! I'll get the pizza in!

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect! Do you mind if we do it at my place? I know we will both get sucked in and I would hate to forget to go home to walk to dogs!

[Speaker 2] That's no problem at all, I'm excited to finally meet the dogs! What are they called again?

[Speaker 1] Snickers and Bounty. Snickers is getting up there and needs to walk pretty regularly.

[Speaker 2] Awww that's so adorable! How many times a day do they need walked?

[Speaker 1] Bounty could probably go most of the day without a walk, but I take them out every 3 hours or so for Snickers' sake. I get it. My old bladder is not what it used to be either.

[Speaker 2] Totally, you sound like a great owner and they sound like two great dogs. How old is Snickers now

[Speaker 1] He is 11. I don't know what I will do when he is gone. He has been with me through so much. My soul mate, in a way. I wish I could still take him on hikes, but his legs just cannot handle that anymore.

[Speaker 2] Oh goodness he is getting on in years but you are lucky to have spent so many good years with him! There is no companion like a dog. You're lucky you have Bounty too

[Speaker 1] I really am. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I don't but I'm considering getting a dog for the company and to help with the exercise. I think a german shephard may be too big for me though

I do not have pets.

[Speaker 1] What pizza did you end up ordering for tonight?

[Speaker 2] Pepperoni all the way. Are you going to play League of Legends tonight?

[Speaker 1] Possibly.  It's really hot today so I haven't taken the dogs out and I'll probably do it tonight when it cools down.  Are you pro or anti pineapple on pizza?

[Speaker 2] So if you do play tonight give me a heads up I can join you. You are not living in Florida so you have no idea what hot is! lol. No pineapple for me, don't tell me you are a pineapple guy Jason!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'll give you a heads up if I get on.  And it's too hot for my dogs! lol  And yes. Pineapple pizza is life and nobody will tell me different.

[Speaker 2] Just as I though I liked you, why did you have to ruin it for me?! lol. Any how for an old vet I can look the other way in regards of Pineapple. Just promise me to never to order pizza if I am around. lol

[Speaker 1] I mostly enjoy cheese but if I'm feeling wild I'll do pineapple.  We can order half cheese half pepperoni when we hang out but I make no apologies for my pineapple pizza love.

[Speaker 2] Then I can forgo my pepperoni and we can meet in the middle with just cheese pizza. Deal?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. There's a great place near me that actually uses fresh mozzarella and there's no comparison.

[Speaker 2] Who can say no to fresh mozzarella! Sign me up!

[Speaker 1] I'm going to be looking into some new gaming equipment soon.  Any good sales I should wait for before I buy?

[Speaker 2] Any holiday! Definitely wait for the sales.. Otherwise you are paying extra for nothing. And for a insider advise do not but the extra guarantee.. They don't break often, and you would probably want to but a newer version before it breaks. lol

my name is jason.

I like florida. i am an only child.

I occasionally play video games. I played league of legends. I will be purchasing gaming equipment.

I like dogs.

I work at best buy.

I am from florida.

I have a sister.

I do not have pets.

I am a veteran.

I have inside knowledge of the gaming industry.

[Speaker 1] I ordered a pizza of the variation just under discussion.

[Speaker 2] With pineapple on it? Gross! Did you get ham on it too?

[Speaker 1] Nope! But I did get bacon on it. That's my absolute favorite! Have you ever tried it?

[Speaker 2] Bacon on pizza is great! Just not with pineapple

[Speaker 1] That's fair. It certainly isn't for everyone! What's your favorite type of specialty pizza?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is a real Italian style margharita pizza with fresh basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella. This is usually more expensive though, and you can't get it from a fast food place.

[Speaker 1] Margharita pizza is delicious! I just had some last week.

[Speaker 2] Did you go to Italy at all when you studied in Europe?

[Speaker 1] No, I wish I would have been able to go! Maybe someday I'll take a vacation there. Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] I never have but I really want to! I can only imagine how much tastier autentic Italian food is than the stuff we get here.

[Speaker 1] I bet it's absolutely delicious. Maybe we could plan to go together. That would be so much fun!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that would be great! It is going to take me a while to save up enough money for a plane ticket, though

my name is jason.

I like florida. i am an only child.

I enjoy pineapple pizza. I enjoy a local pizzeria. Bacon is my favorite pizza topping. I like margharita pizza.

I like dogs.

I work at best buy.

I am from florida.

I do not have pets.

I am a veteran.

I have never been to Italy. I currently do not have enough money for a plane ticket to Italy.

[Speaker 1] My pineapple and bacon pizza was delicious! I have been playing video games a lot the past four days.

[Speaker 2] Oh, did you get your new gaming equipment?

[Speaker 1] I did and it's been fun. I've been playing too much! Any game recommendations?

[Speaker 2] Other than League of Legends?  I guess pong!  HA

[Speaker 1] Haha. I bet you aren't allowed to talk about new game stuff in the industry. Are you making good money?

[Speaker 2] At Best Buy?  Not really.  The inside knowledge is from a friend of mine who is a programmer.

[Speaker 1] Too bad. Are you saving for the Italy trip, though?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I want to start in Sicily and see Mt. Etna.  They invented cannoli there so I'll eat a few of those!  Did you travel much in the navy?

[Speaker 1] Yes but it was all spent on the ship. I was able to see Spain and France again, though, which brought back memories

[Speaker 2] I'd like to go there, too!  I guess if you went to school there you speak pretty good French and Spanish?

[Speaker 1] Decently, but I started a bit late. I use the Spanish much more here in Florida, admittedly. Do you know Italian?

[Speaker 2] I got one of those "learn to speak Italian in three months" books.  Of course it's a joke, you can't learn a whole language in three months, but I've learned some.  It's the verbs that I find tough.  Maybe I should go on a tour or get a guide person?

[Speaker 1] Hello?

[Speaker 2] Hey, just finished a run, how are you?

[Speaker 1] I run, too. I love to. I take my dog sometimes.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I gotta run. I'm a tax accountant. Too much time at a desk.

[Speaker 1] I have a degree in psychology. I use it on my daughters!

[Speaker 2] Sounds useful! Do you like music? I was just listening to sufjan stevens.

[Speaker 1] Yes. Maybe my daughters heard of that musician.

[Speaker 2] Maybe. I just moved into a new apartment and my neighbor recommended stevens.

[Speaker 1] Good for you. What is your favorite food? I am dairy and gluten-free.

[Speaker 2] I mostly eat high-protein foods. Part of a diet I'm on.

[Speaker 1] What else do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] Running and music are really my things right now, usually at the same time!

[Speaker 1] I run often with the dog. Although my daughters want a cat.

[Speaker 2] Dogs are cool, but I'm not a fan of cats.

I go on runs. I have a dog.

I recently moved into an apartment.

I listen to music while I run.

I do not like cats.

[Speaker 1] I ended up giving in and getting my daughters the cat.

[Speaker 2] Thats hilarious! I don't think I'd be that cool of a parent. What'd she name it?

[Speaker 1] Well when you have daughters you sort of give in to them. She named it Angie.

[Speaker 2] I don't know if I could. I just can't stand all the fur and meowing. Has the dog been chasing Angie around?

[Speaker 1] My dog has been great with it. But I have to say this my dog is not very smart and I do not think he knows it is alive. I think he thinks it is just another stuff animal.

[Speaker 2] I have a feeling like that won't end well! haha. So is there some kind of psychology experiment behind giving the girls a cat or was it just to get them off your back about it?

[Speaker 1] Get their them off my back, haha. At least they did not ask for a pet monkey like my friend gave to his daughter.

[Speaker 2] Monkeys are pretty cool but that is insane. Is that even legal? haha! I'm going to be so strong willed if I have kids and they will be thoroughly disappointed about it. No monkeys or cats in my house!

[Speaker 1] here here to strong willed fathers who stand up to their daughters. Oh by the way, how is your new apartment?

[Speaker 2] Its actually pretty spacious. More space than I need really, but the view is so amazing I don't think I plan on downsizing anytime soon.

[Speaker 1] So have you found any running trials around your new place?

[Speaker 2] Yea that's one of the best things about this place. Its close to parks and theres a forest view out my living room window. There's so many paths to explore I think my legs will wear out before the opportunities for running do! haha

I go on runs. I have a dog.

I like music.

I do not eat dairy or gluten.

I do not have a cat. I got my daughters a cat. My cat is named Angie. My daughters named the cat. My friend got his daughter a pet monkey.

I recently moved into an apartment.

I listen to music while I run. I like to run on trails. There are running trails near my apartment.

I do not have kids.

[Speaker 1] The dog finally discovered the cat and I had to separate them just now!

[Speaker 2] Omg... it must’ve been a riot! I bet you got a chance to put your degree in psychology to some solid use there ;)

[Speaker 1] I sure did! I got there just in time. I hope they can learn to like one another or we might need to re-home one of them.

[Speaker 2] Haha... I hope it doesn’t come to that! In any case I’m sure it’s still better than having a monkey in the mix lol

[Speaker 1] Monkeys are cute, but they are a lot of work! His name is Marco. Have I ever sent you a picture?

[Speaker 2] No you didn’t... I am still having a tough time believing it’s legit... to have a monkey for a pet that is, not that I have anything against Marco... do send me his pic!

[Speaker 1] I wonder if it is even legal? I never considered that before...

[Speaker 2] Really?! That is crazy indeed. By the way, do you avoiding gluten and dairy because of intolerance or for another reason?

[Speaker 1] I have colitis, so my diet has to be managed really closely.

[Speaker 2] Yes, you have to be very careful about what you eat. I have a cousin who has colitis and she is very meticulous about her diet too.

[Speaker 1] It is brutal. I really miss ice cream. I crave it every day.

[Speaker 2] Oh you poor baby... I feel for you! You gotta try Coconut Bliss, a non dairy alternative available at Whole Foods

I go on runs. I have a dog.

I have daughters. I am a father.

I like music.

I do not eat dairy or gluten.

I have a degree in psychology, but I might have to re-home my pets.

I have a monkey named Marco. I didn't consider the legality of owning a pet monkey before acquiring one.

I have colitis, and I have to monitor my diet closely.

I really like ice cream.

I go on runs.

I work as a tax accountant.

I recently moved into an apartment.

I do not have kids.

I have a cousin who has colitis.

I have tried coconut bliss frozen products, and I have been to Whole Foods.

[Speaker 1] How is your new apartment treating you?

[Speaker 2] I like it! I like that it is closer to nature than my old apartment.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, I'm so glad you like it! Have you been on any of the trails near your apartment yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes I have! I took a break from unpacking to check it out and it is very nice.

[Speaker 1] Great! Did you see any cool animals or bugs while hiking? Did you take any pictures?

[Speaker 2] I was running on the trail, so I didn't take time to stop and look around. Maybe I should next time

[Speaker 1] That makes sense haha. You should! I'd love to see any pictures you take.

[Speaker 2] You are so interested in animals! Dogs, cats, monkeys, bugs. That's really cool, but I have never been much of an animal person

[Speaker 1] I do like animals, but I also just love appreciating nature. Even when I don't like something, I try my best to appreciate it from a distance!

[Speaker 2] That is a great attitude. I definitely try to enjoy the beauty of nature, but I should get up close to understand it better.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! I definitely recommend it, especially since you spend so much time outside in nature anyway!

[Speaker 2] The nature is part of my new home too. I ought to get familiar with the outdoor surroundings now that I live here

I go on runs. I have a dog.

I have daughters. I am a father.

I like music.

I do not eat dairy or gluten.

I really like ice cream.

I like animals. I appreciate nature.

I go on runs.

I work as a tax accountant.

I recently moved into an apartment.

I do not like cats. I do not want a pet cat. I am not an animal person.

I do not have kids.

I have a cousin who has colitis.

I try to enjoy nature's beauty. I need to et more familiar with nature.

[Speaker 1] Are you still enjoying your new apartment? What amenities are nearby?

[Speaker 2] I love it because of the convenient access to the city running trails, plus it's very green in the area

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear.  Have you been able to hit the trails much?  The weather here has been nothing but rain for 2 weeks so I've been stuck in doors and need to live through someone else.

[Speaker 2] I run every day, even in the rain. I've been navigating towards the lakes and preserves. Sometimes you can see interesting animals

[Speaker 1] Well you're more dedicated than I am.  Rain makes me melt.  Even worse when it's hot out.  What's the weirdest animals so far?

[Speaker 2] I saw a badger, which are dangerous! I'm trying to learn more about nature. I assume you know a lot, given you have a pet monkey!

[Speaker 1] Not too knowledgeable on badgers but I do know it's best to keep your distance.  I'd be more concerned with bears though.  You said you listen to music when you run so just be careful.

[Speaker 2] Good advice, I could stop the music to help me pay attention. Are you planning to keep Marco?

[Speaker 1] I'd like to but we'll see how it goes.  I know monkeys can be temperamental and I worry about the kids or other animals getting hurt.  It wasn't my most well thought out decision when I decided to bring him home.  I love him though.

[Speaker 2] I bet he's complicated; does your psych education help you there?

[Speaker 1] Not at all.lol  There is no reasoning with a monkey.  Just rewarding through food to teach new skills.  They're extremely smart.

[Speaker 2] At least you an confer with your friend's daughter! Just make sure you get whatever license you need, so that you're covered legally

[Speaker 2] I will try to although it's across the country. I do have family that live in Los Angeles and Orange County.

[Speaker 1] I made sandwiches, potato salad and lemonade. It all turned out very nice. Have you made it to the beach recently?

[Speaker 2] that sounds perfect! we have lakes and rivers here mostly. there are some nice beaches along some of the bigger lakes. I haven't made it down recently but will as the weather gets warmer for sure.  it will be nice to pack up some books and read along the beach. do you like to read?

[Speaker 1] I don't know yet. We might depending on my work schedule. I'm dreading this camping trip, though. I'm not a big fan of sleeping outside. Camping to me is a 2-star Marriott. LOL!

[Speaker 2] LOL! I love camping. Me and the puppers are going soon to do some hiking and camping in California. Im visiting my family over the summer.

[Speaker 1] Any camping tips for a newbie like me? By your tone, I assume that you get along well with your family.

[Speaker 2] Over pack for the trip. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I get along with them well.  My siblings and I are very close. I get to meet my new niece and Im sooo excited!!

[Speaker 1] That's so cool. I'm so happy for you! You know, I'll bet that your family is going ask you when you are going to settle down and have kids of your own. lol!

[Speaker 2] They I think finally realize that the only kids they get from me have four legs and all furry.

[Speaker 1] Well, that's good. I'm sure that you'll have a fantastic time. Where in California does your family live? Are you planning to visit anywhere else while you're out here?

[Speaker 1] I finally went camping with my family last weekend. It wasn't so bad as I thought, though! We had a great time and the weather was perfect!

[Speaker 2] Very nice! Were you in a tent? I find an air mattress make the sleeping experience much better.

[Speaker 1] Yes, we had a large tent and we were all able to sleep on air mattresses.  We went hiking and fished a little.  Overall, it was a great experience.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a good time! I would like to find a spot in southern California to go with my family. In addition to the air mattress, I would like to request a casino on the beach! That might be asking a bit much in a camp site.

[Speaker 1] So funny.  That would be the ultimate experience though.  Have you planned a date yet for your Vegas trip?

[Speaker 2] I have thrown out a couple dates and now it is up to my sisters and Mom to work out their schedules. My life is more flexible, so I have to wait on them. I am looking forward to it. What did you folks do while camping? Hike?

[Speaker 1] Yes, we hiked on a trail that enabled us to see different areas of the campsite.  I would definitely go again. Have you done any hiking?

[Speaker 2] I go hiking with the dogs on a fairly regular basis. Lately I have been looking for parks in the area just for some new scenery. It keeps me an my animal family is reasonable shape.

[Speaker 1] It is great exercise.  What kind of dogs do you have? I am thinking of getting one.

[Speaker 2] One husky and the rest mutts. Love them all. I wouldn't recomend a husky unless your ready for it! They can be harder to handle most dogs. What breeds are you looking at?

[Speaker 1] Thinking of a golden retriever.  I have heard they are easy to train and very active.

[Speaker 2] They are wonderful. Not long ago I dog sat a friend of mines golden while they were out of town. He is a really sweet dog. Good with everyone and every dog.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you?

[Speaker 2] Great! I am a zoo-keeper, so, of course, my two cars are mustangs!

[Speaker 1] Wow thats a very cool job.

[Speaker 2] What is your job?.

[Speaker 1] Im in school, but im a beach lifeguard during summer.

[Speaker 2] Maybe my brother can set you up at his grocery store after you graduate.

[Speaker 1] That would be cool, my girlfriend works in a grocery store.

[Speaker 2] Any pets? I keep a raccoon and a reptile--a bearded dragon.

[Speaker 1] No pets, I just do karate on my free time.

[Speaker 2] I fly kites in the day is windy! What else is your game, gig, bag?

[Speaker 1] Horror movies, I love a good scare.

[Speaker 2] Houseguest often eek spotting my bearded dragon the first time.

I do not have any pets. I do karate.

I have a raccoon and a bearded dragon.

I fly kites on windy days.

[Speaker 1] I recently was promoted to a purple belt.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good, how long do you have to go to get to black belt?

[Speaker 1] I am not so sure. I am excited though.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. Have you been involved in martial arts for a long time?

[Speaker 1] Oh yesnot physically, But as a huge fan of Bruce Lee? Why not go for it.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure what you mean. Are you a fan of Bruce Lee?

[Speaker 1] I am sorry, I mistyped! I am. I love watching ToHo movies! So impressive and I decided to get into it for fun!

[Speaker 2] That's cool I don't really know about ToHo movies, I don't think I've seen any before. That's pretty cool to be so inspired as to take up the sport.

I do not have any pets. I do karate.

I have a purple belt in martial arts. I am a Bruce Lee fan. I am a fan of ToHo movies. ToHo movies inspired me to start practicing martial arts.

I am a zoo-keeper. I have two mustangs.

I have a raccoon and a bearded dragon.

I fly kites on windy days.

I am not familiar with ToHo movies.

[Speaker 1] I want to tell you about something funny that happened to me at the beach recently while I was on lifeguard duty. I know you like to fly kites and there was a really cool kite that crashed into me while I was working!

[Speaker 2] OH NO! That is hillarious! are you alright though?

[Speaker 1] Yes, a kid was flying it and I think it just got away from him during a gust of wind. Lifeguarding can be interesting for sure.

[Speaker 2] I am glad nobody was hurt! Kite can be really dangerous during a gust.. I bet lifeguarding is really interesting. You must have tons of stories! Please tell me more about your adventures, lol.

[Speaker 1] Oh I've seen a lot of swimsuit mishaps! You can only imagine the embarrassment.

[Speaker 2] I knew I picked the wrong proffesion! lol

[Speaker 1] Well I dunno about that. Your job seems interesting. What's your favorite animal at the zoo?

[Speaker 2] Yes can't complain it is intersting, it keeps me on my toes. Not knowing which animals poop I will step on next.lol. Just kidding. I love all my animals the same but one monkey has a special place in my heart. Her name is Lilith.

[Speaker 1] Awww, I love that. Monkeys seem like they have great personalities. Do you really have a raccoon as a pet?

[Speaker 2] Yep a raccoon and a bearded dragon to be exact! They are both rescues. My raccoon is called Rococo, I found it in my garbage can when it was little.

[Speaker 1] That is so great! You sound like a superb person and a great friend to animals.

[Speaker 2] Oww you are being so kind. I am saving animals, you are saving humans. We are both people! Except when you kick peoples asses with your purple belt.lol

I do not have any pets. I do karate.

I like to fly kites.

I have seen a lot of people have swimsuit mishaps.

I am a zoo-keeper. I have two mustangs.

I fly kites on windy days.

I am not familiar with ToHo movies.

I step on a lot of animal poop by accident, my favorite animal is a female monkey named Lilith.

I have a raccoon named Rococo and a bearded dragon as pets.

I am a superb person and a great friend to animals.

[Speaker 1] What kind of mustangs do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have an EcoBoost convertible and a Premium Fastback. If you ever want to see them we can go on a drive sometime!

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun, you should bring your monkey Lilith! Which mustang do you prefer to cruise in?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think she'd like that! Definitely the convertible. Nothing like feeling the sun on your skin and wind in your hair.

[Speaker 1] Sure thing, if she doesn't try to jump out! I agree about the sun and the wind, though I've usually perused those on motorcycles... Maybe you could take me for a tour of the zoo where you work?

[Speaker 2] I didn't know you rode motorcycles. That's so cool! I'm too scared to try. I'd love to take you on a tour of the zoo! We have after hour specials where the zookeepers are able to bring their family and friends. That way you'll get a much better look at everything without all the crowds!

[Speaker 1] That does sound nice, a bit more relaxed than normal hours no doubt. Yes, I enjoy the balance and control and the challenge of improving my skills. I've had three motorcycles so far, but haven't ridden in quite a few years now...

[Speaker 2] It's definitely a perk of knowing a zookeeper! That is commendable. Why haven't you been riding your motorcycles lately?

[Speaker 1] the lifeguard job doesn't pay much, so I've had to cut back on some luxuries to cover the costs of school. But hey, we can still fly our kites right? How do you ever have time to enjoy those mustangs with all those animals to look after?

[Speaker 2] That makes sense, I'm sorry to hear that. Yes! There is always time to fly kites, as long as the wind permits haha. I try to squeeze in time wherever I can find it. Whether it's waking up a little earlier or staying up a little later, I try to make some time so I can enjoy the alone time. I definitely recommend devoting some part of your day to something you love doing, even if you can only spare a few minutes.

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear, and just plain good advice! I probably spend a little TOO much time on things I love. maybe if i focused more on productivity I'd get another bike this year and get back out in the wind...

[Speaker 2] Haha. Well, I think life is really all just a balance of doing things you should do and doing things you want to do. Everything in moderation!

I am currently in school. I work as a beach lifeguard during the summer. I am a student.

I do not have any pets. I do karate.

I like riding motorcycles. I don't ride motorcycles any more. I used to have three different motorcycles.

I like flying kites. I don't make very much money.

I am a zoo-keeper. I have two mustangs. My favorite Mustang is the convertible.

I fly kites on windy days.

I am not familiar with ToHo movies.

I'm scared to ride a motorcycle.

I like to fly kites early in the morning and late at night.

[Speaker 1] Do you do your own maintenance on your cars? I always felt like it would be a good skill to have but never had time to learn.

[Speaker 2] I used to work on my motorcycles but it's just too time consuming nowadays. I am careful with researching part costs, to save money

[Speaker 1] I don't think I could ever learn how to do that, and it seems like it would cost a lot of money. Do you own many motorcycles?

[Speaker 2] Not anymore; I sold the three I owned. Mustang parts must be pricey for you, I bet

[Speaker 1] Yes it is very pricey, which is why I don't work on my own car. I don't make a lot of money as a lifeguard. How much did your motorcycles sell for?

[Speaker 2] I made 55,000 total. I was always afraid of the danger in riding them anyway. When did you last ride?

[Speaker 1] I don't ride anymore, I last rode about a year ago. How did you get into motorcycles?

[Speaker 2] A zoo coworker of mine was an enthusiast. Do you miss riding?

[Speaker 1] Yes I miss it very much. I wish I could work at the zoo, it sounds exciting.

[Speaker 2] It can be. Getting to know the animals is great but there;s a lot of animal poop!

[Speaker 1] Yeah the animal poop doesn't sound like fun, but getting to know the animals does. I bet you have a lot of fun at work

[Speaker 2] When I'm not cleaning or administrating. Lifeguarding sounds like a pretty chill gig to me


I like using coupons.

I have 5 dogs and 3 rats.

I like sunset walks.

I like to paint.

I go to college full time to get my degree.

I work in the zoo as a zoo keeper.

I love flying kites during a windy day.

My brother owns a grocery store.

I own 2 cars and both are mustangs.

I am a couponer. I have five dogs and three rats. I enjoy walks on the beach during sunsets.

I am a full time student in graduate school looking to get a degree. I have a car. I take a long drive to school every day.

I work at the local zoo as a zoo keeper.

I have a bearded dragon and a raccoon.

I like flying kites on windy days.

I have 2 mustangs.

My mustangs are both red. My brother owns a grocery store.

My brother gives me discounts in return for letting him play with my bearded dragon.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hi, I'm well, how are you?

[Speaker 1] That's great I am great. Tell me a little about yourself? If you don't mind.

[Speaker 2] I work here at the local zoo as a zoo keeper.

[Speaker 1] A couponer, five dogs and three rats, enjoy walks on the beach while the sunsets.

[Speaker 2] Wow, I also have pets! I have a bearded dragon and a pet racoon.

[Speaker 1] Wow that is amazing! I enjoy painting animals especially butterflies.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. I enjoy flying kites when it's windy outside!

[Speaker 1] Sounds fun. During the day I am a full time student in graduate school getting a degree.

[Speaker 2] That's great. Do you drive to school? I have 2 cars which are both mustangs.

[Speaker 1] Oooh what color those cars are fast. Yes I do drive to school its a long commute.

[Speaker 2] They're both red. I always drive them to the grocery store that my brother owns.

[Speaker 1] Nice color. How amazing is that do you get free food or discounts lol?

[Speaker 2] Yeah he hooks me up! In return I let him play with my pet dragon.

I have a bearded dragon and a raccoon.

I like flying kites on windy days.

I have 2 mustangs.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to see a butterfly painting I recently finished?

[Speaker 2] I would love to! Painting butterflies, must take a lot of talent. What color are the butterflies in this painting?

[Speaker 1] They're purple and blue. But oh thank you, I actually find them much easier subjects than other creatures. But if I had exotic pets like you I would be painting them all the time. Do you ever do art?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, you don't want to see my drawings! But what you said gives me an idea. Could I commission a painting of my bearded dragon and raccoon playing together?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I've never had a commission before but I would love to paint that! Thank you for asking. Do they get along/play together in real life?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, not at all, that's why I think it would be so fun to have a painting of them playing together. You can be as creative as you want with it and I get a fun painting. It's a win win!

[Speaker 1] Good old artistic license! But sure sounds great! You said you draw though, what do you like drawing? You don't have to show me, but perhaps I could swap my painting for a drawing of my five dogs and three rats?

[Speaker 2] I don't think I am any good, I like to doodle here and there, but I keep my drawings to myself. I can sure try to draw your dogs and rats, but you might hate it!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure I'll love it. Do you draw animals from your work? If I had your job I would be constantly inspired, it might actually be too much inspiration lol

[Speaker 2] That is a really good guess! Many of the animals are so friendly they just let me sit there while they go about their day. I have a lot of doodles from when I am on break. I've thought about sharing them with my colleagues, but they might think it's weird.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sure they'd love to see them. You should share them! But wow, I'm so jealous. Do you look after any meerkats? I'd love to paint meerkats.

[Speaker 2] Why don't we schedule a day for you to come by the zoo? I could take you on a special tour and you could see all the meerkats you want!k

I enjoy painting animals, especially butterflies. I recently completed a butterfly painting. I painted the butterflies in purple and blue.

I've never been paid to paint anything before.

I really like meerkats. I think they would be fun animals to depict in a painting.

I like flying kites on windy days.

I have 2 mustangs.

I own exotic pets, including a raccoon and a bearded dragon. The raccoon and the bearded dragon don't get along well. I'd like to get a painting done of them. I enjoy drawing but I'm not a very talented artist myself.

The zoo animals are very friendly. We have meerkats! I like to draw the animals when I'm on a break. I don't show the drawings to my colleagues.

[Speaker 1] How's work going? Are the meerkats keeping you entertained?

[Speaker 2] Works great I love working with the animals, yes they are always very entertaining to watch.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I could come see them one day and take some pictures I can create a painting from of them.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be great you could come and see all the animals here as well. I love drawing the meerkats but i'm sure you could do a better painting of them.

[Speaker 1] I could give it a go, maybe I could come one weekend when i'm not studying.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be great maybe on my day off and we could go together and I could show you around?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be great a guided tour sounds amazing.

[Speaker 2] Ok then I will have to see when I'm off next on the weekend and see if we can arrange something.

[Speaker 1] Yeah sounds like a plan I can't wait. I will make sure I get plenty of pictures to paint as well.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I think I will get some as well I can practice my drawing at home then.

[Speaker 1] Yeah get plenty of practice the more you do the better you will get at it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'm starting to improve but still have a long way to go. Maybe You could give me a few pointers some time and tell me what you think.

I like flying kites on windy days.

I have 2 mustangs.

[Speaker 1] The hobby shop has a great deal on paints. I can get any colors I need to paint your pets.

[Speaker 2] That would be amazing. I would love my painting colors to be as realistic as possible. What is the painting style that you specialize in?

[Speaker 1] I also usually do realistic paintings but I have been trying to get inspiration from Impressionism recently

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds interesting. I'm not sure if I've ever seen an Impressionistic Painting. I'm sure your painting style will be great! Are you learning about Impressionism in your graduate school program

[Speaker 1] Yes I am, that is what inspired me to try this style. It is a little bit realistic, but can be more interpretive

[Speaker 2] Okay, I am so excited to have you paint my beloved animals! How much would you charge me, and about how long would the process take?

[Speaker 1] it depends how big you want the paintings, I charge more for a bigger painting

[Speaker 2] I'd like to just get one 14" by 14" painting. I think it will look nice in my living room where their cages are. I'd love to show it off to my zookeeping colleagues

[Speaker 1] Do you want all of them in one picture? That will cost more, too because it will take more work

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have one raccoon and one bearded dragon. I'm fine with the cost, I love to pay small content creators! What are you thinking for the cost?

I like painting realistic and impressionist paintings. I'm learning about impressionism in my graduate school art program.

I charge more for my paintings that are more work.

I like flying kites on windy days.

I have 2 mustangs.

I sometimes work weekends. I am a beginner at drawning. I like realistic paintings.

I have animals and I love them. I keep my animals in my living room.

I like to support small artists by buying their art.

[Speaker 1] If you want, you could send over some pictures of your animals so that I can get an accurate idea of what they look like.

[Speaker 2] If the pictures were of a good quality do you think you'd be able to paint them from the photos?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, definitely.  It's much easier to paint objects that aren't moving and live animals rarely sit still unless you have a sloth at home.

[Speaker 2] I will try and get some clear photos for you, it would be great to have some portraits painted

[Speaker 1] Sure, just send me the pictures when you get them and let me know what size you prefer and I can give my commission rates and you can let me know what you want to do.  How many drawings are you thinking?

[Speaker 2] I would Like the bearded dragon done for sure, have you ever painted reptiles?

[Speaker 1] No, but it shouldn't be a problem.  Sounds like a fun challenge actually.  A lot of small tiny details and colors.  I'm excited to start.

[Speaker 2] I was trying to think if you could bring some of the impressionism into it, not sure if you could think of a way that would work I think it would be a cool project

[Speaker 1] Once you send me the picture and I know what image I'm working with I can see if we can come up with something to satisfy what you're looking for.

[Speaker 2] That would be great, I may send a photo of the raccoon too but I don't want to overwhelm you with projects

[Speaker 1] Okay well I always want pictures of raccoons so send it anyway.  I'll work on one project at a time but there's never a bad time for a raccoon intermission.

[Speaker 2] Haha, well I work at the zoo so you never know, there may be some more commissions coming your way after I show them your work


I live by the ocean.

I used to be an accountant.

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

Now I am a freelance entrepreneur.

My dog is truly my best friend.

I live by the ocean.

I used to be an accountant.

Now I am a freelance entrepreneur.

My dog is truly my best friend.

I have a dog. The dog is my best friend.

I do freelance work related to dogs.

I live by the ocean.

I have a dog. My dog is my best friend.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I'm ready for a new career, a new life and meeting new people. What's up?

[Speaker 2] Hello nice to meet you.

[Speaker 1] I prefer dogs to people to be honest, mine is my best friend.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's pretty pathetic I think.

[Speaker 1] You sound like an accountant, like I used to be. They are super judgey in general.

[Speaker 2] Just kidding my dog is my best friend.

[Speaker 1] I'm an entrepreneur now, doing freelance stuff in a dog-related business.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah sounds like you know a lot about me.

[Speaker 1] I feel like I have a good sense of who you are.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you are some kind of psychic.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's because of living by the ocean. The salty air helps my intuition.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow I didn't know that had the ability.

I do freelance work related to dogs.

I live by the ocean.

I have a dog. My dog is my best friend.

[Speaker 1] I just worked on a new job with a new dog product.

[Speaker 2] That is very cool, what was the product you were working on?

[Speaker 1] We're making special thunder jackets for dogs with anxiety issues who live in warm climates. How is your dog's temperament?

[Speaker 2] That is such a good cause. My dog is very sweet when in the house and just in general, but he is so protective he barks at anything or anyone that is close to the house, even if he is inside!

[Speaker 1] Oh he sounds very nice and cute! Have you ever tried a thunder jacket with him?

[Speaker 2] I haven't actually, it sounds great. Do you think it would help him be more calm around other dogs and people that aren't me?

[Speaker 1] I think so, it's worked with my dog so well. And at my new job we've been looking at all these studies that show how much they help dogs feel calm and secure in various situations. I definitely recommend!

[Speaker 2] I definitely think this is something I would try out. Is there anyway you get a benefit if I purchase it from you or say I'm getting it because you recommended it?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow probably thanks for asking! But since we're still in the research and development phase we could probably give you one for free if you'd give us some feedback? What colours suit your dog best? We have heaps of options.

[Speaker 2] What? No way! That would be incredible! Do you have any in green or purple?

[Speaker 1] Yeah we've got heaps of shades of both! Lime green, forest green etc and then like lilac/ deeper purple versions. We also have green and purple striped if you want both!

[Speaker 2] Green and purple stripes would be the best of both worlds! I can't believe you are able to help me so much with this. Thank you!

I do freelance work related to dogs.

I live by the ocean.

I started a new job.

I have a dog. My dog is my best friend. I have a sweet but protective dog. I live in a house. I care for my dogs behavior.

I'm interested in dog products.

I like the colors green and purple.

[Speaker 1] Have you taken your dog out for walks around the neighborhood?

[Speaker 2] Yeah i'm always taking him out for walks, we have a big park near us and he loves to go there.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I bet he does my dog likes to go to the park near us as well. He loves playing fetch and with other toys.

[Speaker 2] Yeah do you develope your own dog toys that he plays with?

[Speaker 1] Some I have yeah and other dog products I have made I have used on him, he is my test subject lol.

[Speaker 2] Lol, I bet he loves getting to test all the new things out?

[Speaker 1] Yeah some he does but others he's not so keen on depending what it is. If it's a toy he is more than happy, maybe I could send you some samples of stuff to try out?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be amazing, we would love to try out some of your stuff.

[Speaker 1] Ok I will get some sent for you and you can give me some feedback then of what you think.

[Speaker 2] Yeah thats fine would love to help you out and give you feedback.

[Speaker 1] Thanks that would be very helpful getting some honest feedback of people always helps when developing the products.

[Speaker 2] No problems at all, I bet it does help a lot some good feedback.

I do freelance work related to dogs.

I live by the ocean.

I started a new job.

I develop dog products. I can provide dog product samples. I have access to a variety of dog products. My dog enjoys the products I make. I am empowered to send out free products.

I'm interested in dog products.

I like the colors green and purple.

I live near a park.

[Speaker 1] Did your dog enjoy the product I sent to you?

[Speaker 2] Yes! Where can I go leave feedback? On  your website?

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be great! It's listed on the back of all of the packaging. Please pass around the business cards I sent to anyone you think may be interested as well.

[Speaker 2] The toys seem very durable so far. My dog has tried and tried to rip it apart, but it's strong! It's hard for me to find toys my dog doesn't destroy right away. You do good work.

[Speaker 1] Like I said, I've been through many test phases, trial & error you know. So, what was your fave, the green or the purple?

[Speaker 2] My dog seems to like the purple best, or seem most intent on testing it, at least. I really like the green palm tree though. Do you have those near your beach?

[Speaker 1] Most definitely, yes! I love the beach so much, it just evens me out a bit. Do you ever make it to a beach?

[Speaker 2] No, I have never seen the ocean except from a plane. We have lots of huge lakes, but I know it's not the same. Maybe I need to plan a trip.

[Speaker 1] For sure, you'd probably really enjoy it. Does it get cold where you live?

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah! Frigid. I do like the cold, but it'd be nice to have a beach summer vacation. Quite a difference from my usual scene. I tend to prefer mountains, but I can't say for sure since I haven't actually been to the ocean. What you said about the benefits of salt in the air sounds appealing though.

[Speaker 1] I love the mountains too, and they're only like an hour drive from me. It's funny, I can be surfing in the morning and playing in the snow by the afternoon.

[Speaker 2] Do you live in California? The Carolinas? I considered North Carolina for work once upon a time but ended up in Nebraska.

I do freelance work related to dogs.

I live by the ocean.

I started a new job.

i like beach so much. i like mountains too.

I'm interested in dog products. my dog loves purple.

I like the colors green and purple.

I live near a park.

except fro plane i never seen ocean from my entire life.

I tend to prefer mountains, because i did't seen ocean.

I live in North Carolina.

[Speaker 1] How was the purple toy, did your dog like green palm tree.

[Speaker 2] The purple toy was great! Did you develop that dog toy yourself or was it one of the dog products that you get as samples?

[Speaker 1] I developed it! I’m so glad that Your pup enjoyed the purple toy! Do you take your dog to the park a lot?

[Speaker 2] I do, since I live near the park. I was actually meaning to ask you, do you have any toys that are really good at distracting a dog while in the park? I feel like my dog gets too excited in the park. I'm worried that my dog will cause trouble if he gets too excited. So, I was hoping that I could find a toy that could help him stay calm or focused on something else while we go for walks in the park.

[Speaker 1] Very cool question! I definitely am going to look into designing some thing that can be Fun and distracting for your dog! Are there any dog parks near you?

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear. I would love to hear what kind of ideas you have in your head for fun and distracting toys. As for parks, there are a bunch of parks that are within a short drive but my favorite has to be the one that I live nearest too. It's sort of become an extension of my own home. It really is the best part of the community I live in.

[Speaker 1] What noises does your dog like bells, whistles, squeaky’s?? It’s really cool to have a place that you can go to that you feel comfortable being! I feel the same way about the beach. I really wish that you were able to make a visit so that we could get together go to the beach maybe I can figure out what your dog would love the most.

[Speaker 2] We should plan a visit like that for the near future. I would love to find the time to come out and visit. That said, my dog seems to like squeaky toys the most. But, I'm not sure because I have never owned a toy with bells in it. I'll go out to the store tonight and buy one. Then, I'll get back to you on that.

[Speaker 1] That’s great I look forward to that visit! My dogs really like squeaky toys to caramel it seems that a lot of dogs really like squeaking noises. I’m sure together that we can figure out some thing fun for your pup to play with to keep him occupied!

[Speaker 2] I think your right. I actually think I'm going to go down to the store as soon as we get done talking. I really want to make sure I'm able to find a toy with bells in it so we can start getting to the bottom of what is the best toy for my dog to be distracted in the park!

[Speaker 1] I can’t wait to see what you come up with so that I can compare and develop some thing so intriguing that it will knock your pups socks off!! You might wanna also think about trying him out with a tire with a rope on it because I know that a lot of dogs get really excited when they get to tear out a tire and can also play fetch with it.

[Speaker 2] Alright I will look for a tire and rope toy as well. He is going to be such a happy pup!

I like to hike.

I am in high school.

[Speaker 1] How is School today? Do you have Spanish?

[Speaker 2] No spanish today! I had english and art and then a really good history lesson.

[Speaker 1] Is there anything you don't like about your teachers in school? How they teach, what they teach...anything like that?

[Speaker 2] Sure.. I have some pretty bad teachers tbh. The worst ones just want you to rote learn and regurgitate whatever they tell you, they're not interested in debate or new ideas. What sort of teaching style do you think you'll use?

[Speaker 1] I am not too sure yet. I want the students to be able to come to me about anything, but I also don't want to be their friend. I am there to guide and to teach. Do you have any suggestions for your teachers to be better?

[Speaker 2] It's hard to strike a balance between those two things I think, but I have some teachers who are like that! I think mostly the teachers I have who are bad need to listen to the kids more. It feels like they don't respect young people or believe their ideas are important. Did you always want to be a teacher?

[Speaker 1] I have, I'm just not sure what grade I want to teach. My goal is to become a principal one day and have an impact on an entire school

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that would be cool! I reckon teaching older kids would be way less stressful but I guess the youngest ones are easier too. Mostly just the in between ages that would be tough haha. Do you have ideas about things you would change if you got to be the principal?

[Speaker 1] It would depend on the school I was in, but I would want to talk to the students and see what their problems are because if you have students unhappy with the school in general I don't think you can move forward

[Speaker 2] It's true. I have a really bad principal. She just cares about the school

[Speaker 1] I think alot of principals just care about the funding, but I think you need to build from the bottom up, not the top down. Got to start with the unhappy students and things will just blossom from there

[Speaker 2] Yeah sorry computer issues i mean't to say school's image and money. But yeah I completely agree, I wish she would hold meetings and listen to us. Did you have a good time at high school when you were a student?

I am taking a degree in teaching. I care about my students education.

I earn my students trust.

I want to be a school principal.

I like to find and fix problems. I focus on the root cause of an issue.

I live near a beach.

I like to hike.

I don't feel respected by teachers.

I don't like my principal. I don't have a voice as a student.

[Speaker 1] I have a teaching exam coming up this week.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that’s important. How are you feeling? What are you doing to prepare? I like to study a lot, so I’m always ready for exams but I’m guessing this is different.

[Speaker 1] I'm feeling fine, but occasionally think that teaching degrees are too distant from the realities of what teachers and students need on the ground.

[Speaker 2] I think you’re right. I have a lot of bad teachers but some are good, too. I’m lucky because I like to put the focus on myself to study hard. I also find to relax and just be a regular high school student, too. I like to play games and watch movies. I think teachers should do the same to keep their sanity.

[Speaker 1] I also want to relax and keep my sanity, but there does have to exist at least a bit of putting lipsticks on pigs if I am to be made principal.

[Speaker 2] I don’t like my principal because he doesn’t really give us students voices. But I do my best to have fun when I can, like movies and games. What do you like to do to relax?

[Speaker 1] Oh, a bit of knitting for the stress, and air guitar on the weekends too.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun. I have never done any knitting before. I do like to make art though with paints and pencils. I have a full journal of art.

[Speaker 1] Knitting is really quite the activity for mental flow and (as Grey's Anatomy once said) finger coordination. I heard you like hiking; where are you thinking of going next?

[Speaker 2] I like to hike in the hills around the area and I’ll probably do that again soon. Everything about it is a good way to relax. I like to watch the birds. I like to cook marshmallows over an open fire. And if I decide to camp out with others, I like to tell stories. Have you ever done any hiking?

[Speaker 1] Oooh...didn't have too much time for anything beyond a visitor center nature walk.

[Speaker 2] You should make time for yourself. I like to set time aside so I can relax when I find myself studying too much. Going hiking and getting away from everything is a perfect opportunity.

I earn my students trust.

I want to be a school principal.

I teach for exam for coming week.

I want to relax and keep my calm.

I live near a beach.

I am moving next week.

I am in high school. I am a student. I have some bad teachers. I don’t like my principal. He didn't care about students.

I don't feel respected by teachers.

I play game and watch movies relax my mind.

I do like to make art though with paints and pencils.

[Speaker 1] I just take lesson to my students for exam. Some discus about hiking for relaxation.

[Speaker 2] Do you still want to be a principal then? I don't like mine. Maybe you could be mine haha

[Speaker 1] I do want to be a principal because I care very much about my students' education. What is your favorite part about your school?

[Speaker 2] I like art class the most. The rest of it sucks and I feel like I don't need it. My teachers are mean. I love when school is out.

[Speaker 1] What do you want to do after high school? Would you like to continue art?

[Speaker 2] I am not sure yet. Maybe I will be a lifeguard and move back to the beach on my own. I am sad to be leaving. I do not think I want to go to college.

[Speaker 1] Where are you moving to?

[Speaker 2] I am moving to the mountains in TN because my father lost his job and we have to go live with family members I have never met.

[Speaker 1] That definitely sounds scary, but at least there will be good hiking in the mountains!

[Speaker 2] You are right about that I will have a bunch of new beautiful places to see, thanks!

[Speaker 1] Of course!! And there will be lots of new birds!

[Speaker 2] I will have to buy a new camera to take pics of them all! I can send you some if you want.

I earn my students trust.

I want to be a school principal.

I teach for exam for coming week.

I want to relax and keep my calm.

I live near a beach.

I am moving next week. I am moving away to college soon. I am moving to Tennessee to live with family members I have never met. I have a father who lost his job.

I don't feel respected by teachers.

I like to hike in the hills. I like to watch the birds. Hiking is best way to get relax. I enjoy photographing birds.

I do not enjoy school overall. I do enjoy art class.

[Speaker 1] I forgot to ask: what is your favorite camera model?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is the GoPro Hero 8. The pictures and videos come out great! How did your students do on the exam?

[Speaker 1] They had a very high pass rate! I am so proud of them, they worked so hard. I had a pizza party in class the last day of school. I wish I could help you enjoy school more and find your place there.

[Speaker 2] I don't really like school, to be honest. Maybe if I had a teacher that gave pizza parties I would enjoy school more! What kind of pizza did you guys have?

[Speaker 1] Oh we had several different types, even one with no cheese and veggies only for a vegan in the class. I'd love to get together and give you some tips on how to get the teachers "on your side" or tutor you, just let me know. Have you seen any rare or unusual birds lately?

[Speaker 2] Yea I could definitely use some tips. I haven't seen any rare birds lately, but I'm excited to move to TN... I think I'll find some really different birds there.

[Speaker 1] I though of you the other day, I saw a sandhill crane..would have made a great photo

[Speaker 2] Omg.. I still haven't gotten a chance to photograph one! Where did you see it?

[Speaker 1] It was flying over a conservation area near my house...rare in these parts. Ever seen one?

[Speaker 2] I've only seen it once.. but I didn't have my camera with me at the time.

[Speaker 1] What other birds have you photographed lately

[Speaker 2] I took a picture of a really beautiful cardinal yesterday. I was so excited.

[Speaker 1] Just planning for my spring break trip.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is nice, do you have a destination in mind?

[Speaker 1] No, but somewhere tropical. I just bought a dress for easter.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds lovely! You should come here to cali, the weather is wonderful now!

[Speaker 1] I think I would fit in there, I just changed my hair color to blue.

[Speaker 2] That is so fun, do you have any interesting hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I dont have much time for hobbies, ill be 29 next week.

[Speaker 2] Congrats! I just turned 30 myself. So what made you change your hair blue?

[Speaker 1] Im just trying to hold onto the last of my youth.

[Speaker 2] Ah people make a stigma about 29 and 30 but you are still young!

[Speaker 1] Well my mom just got me a new car, I cant wait to take it out.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is sweet of her, what kind of car did she get you?

Im planning for spring break.

I have a dress.

My hair is blue.

I have a new car.

[Speaker 1] I'm running late to a hair appointment getting ready for my birthday

[Speaker 2] Oh how exciting, what are you getting done to your hair?

[Speaker 1] Just a trim! How long have you lived in Cali by the way?

[Speaker 2] Oh i'm sure it'll look great. I've been here my whole life so 30 years!

[Speaker 1] I hope so. And wow! That's awesome. Do you ever think about moving?

[Speaker 2] No I love the weather and beaches here way too much! Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] Indiana. Not a fan of the weather! Wish I could move to Cali. Maybe someday. Do you go to the beach often?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I go to the beach everyday if I can! My daughter loves to swim and play in the sand

[Speaker 1] Now that sounds fun! How old is your daughter?

[Speaker 2] She's 5! She's so lucky getting to grow up so close to the beach, we live a fifteen minute walk away. When I was growing up we lived much further away!

[Speaker 1] So cute. Definitely lucky! Do you ever surf or anything like that?

[Speaker 2] I've tried before but I'm not very good at it! Have you surfed before?

Im planning for spring break.

I have a dress.

My hair is blue.

I have a new car.

I have hair to style.

I live in indiana. I want to live in California.

I have a daughter. Daughter is 5.

I live in Cali for 30 years.

I'm 30 years old.

I go to the beach everyday; Live 15 min walk from the beach. Have surfed before, but not good at it.

[Speaker 1] How was the beach today?  Was the weather nice?

[Speaker 2] It was great for most of the day, sunny and not too crowded.  My daughter built a big sandcastle.

[Speaker 1] Aww that's great. I remember being young and loving the beach. There is endless entertainment paddling in the sea and playing with the sand. I'm so envious that you live near the beach!

[Speaker 2] It’s great. I could imagine not being able to go the beach whenever I wanted.  I love walking and running along the water.  Do you ever take trips or vacations  to the beach?

[Speaker 1] Luckily I do have some family that live near the coast, so every couple of years I'll spend a couple of nights with them when I get time off work. I've just started trying to run actually, my stamina is terrible at the moment. Have you been running for long?

[Speaker 2] That’s nice that you get to go to the coast and visit family at the same time.  I stared running in high school with track.  Now I just do it casually for exercise.  Your stamina will build up quick.

[Speaker 1] I hope so, at the moment I feel like I need to stop for a break every few minutes! Naturally I'm more of a sprinter rather than a long distance runner, so I guess I just need to work at it. It's a great exercise to do though. Is running on the sand more difficult?

[Speaker 2] Yes it is harder to run on the sand. It takes a lot more energy, but if you run on the sand that the edge of the water where it’s wet and harder, it’s a little easier.  How are your Spring break plans coming?

[Speaker 1] Yea that makes sense. Well done for keeping up the running, it must be hard whilst also looking after a little one! My Spring break plans are on pause at the moment, I'm a bit stuck for what to do. I might go and stay with some friends in Europe but that might be an expensive trip! Do you have any trips lined up?

[Speaker 2] It might not be too expensive if you have people you can stay with so you don’t have to pay for a hotel.  I don’t have any trips planned but I would love to go to Greece.

[Speaker 1] I've never been to Greece before, are you interested in the history? I've heard that there are lots of amazing things to see there. I've only ever been to Italy in Europe but I loved it.

[Speaker 2] I love learning about the Greek mythology!  I went to Italy when I was younger.  The food was amazing!

I have a dress.

My hair is blue.

I have a new car.

I have hair to style.

I like going to the beach. I would love to live near the beach.

I have family. I have a job. I visit family near the coast every couple of years. I recently started running for exercise.

I don't have a lot of endurance. I prefer to sprint rather than run distance.

I am looking forward to spring break. I want to visit friends in Europe for Spring Break.  I don't have a lot of money.

I have a daughter. Daughter is 5.

I live in Cali for 30 years. I'm 30 years old.

I go to the beach everyday; I live 15 min walk from the beach. Have surfed before, but not good at it. I like sunny weather.

I love to walk and run by the ocean's water.

I was in high school track. I have been running since high school. I exercise regularly.

[Speaker 1] I think I might go back to Italy instead of Greece for Spring Break. Talking to you about it reminded me how much I love Italy. Do you have any recommendations for a restaurant in Italy?

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Everyone also stereotypes the pizza or meatballs because it's Italy. But I recommend any restaurant that can make a good pasta. That is the key to a successful Italian restaurant. Are you going with your family?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm travelling there alone, but I have friends from Europe that are going to meet up with me there. If I remember right, Northern and Southern Italian food are completely different.

[Speaker 2] Yes. While Southern Italian food is driven by the sea, Northern Italian food embraces the land. It really depends on what you prefer. What was your favourite part about Italy?

[Speaker 1] The architecture. Seeing things that have been around for a thousand years was pretty amazing. I'm a big history buff, so it really appealed to me.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's awesome. Did you major in History at school?

[Speaker 1] No, but I took a history class or two before I dropped out. I read a lot about history, though, and watch a lot of documentaries on the History Channel. I guess that only place that would be better to visit to study history would be Greece.

[Speaker 2] Ah fair enough. What kind of history are you into? I really enjoy Greek mythology. I did a case study on Poseidon once.

[Speaker 1] Really? I don't even know what a case study is. lol! Is that like a further in-depth study? Wasn't he God of the Sea or something like that?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is essentially a study based on a few accounts from all the way back in that time. I compiled that information and made a study on how he contributed to the aid of Zeus at the time. He is the God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses.

[Speaker 1] He's a busy guy! lol! I guess I haven't ever been able to get into Greek mythology because it's just that - mythology. Real historical accounts, people, and ruins have always fascinated me much more.

[Speaker 2] Fair enough. I understand what you mean. I like the idea of superhuman powers. And I liked Poseidon because he had a cool trident. Is there any historical event that particularly interested you?

I have a dress.

My hair is blue.

I have a new car.

I have hair to style.

I have never been to Greece. I have been to Italy. I loved Italy. I am traveling to Italy alone. I have friends in Europe. I enjoy the architecture in Italy. I enjoy history.

I dropped out of school. I do not enjoy mythology.

I have a daughter. Daughter is 5.

I don't have plans for spring break. I would love to take a trip to Greece. I love Greek Mythology. I have been to Italy. I love the food in Italy. I have some expertise about visiting Italy. I enjoy pasta at Italian restaurants.

I did a case study on Poseidon in the past.

I enjoy fantasy.

[Speaker 1] How is your daughter doing? Have you tried sharing your love of Greek mythology with her?

[Speaker 2] Hi there, hope you are wlll and managing to save up for your Italy trip?  Thank for asking about the Greek mythology study, we are doing very well. It helps because i am so passionate about it and hope to get to the Greek islands soon

[Speaker 1] Yes I have been saving up for another trip to Italy! I can't wait. It's planned for next Spring. Do you have any plans to go back to Italy in the future?

[Speaker 2] I would love to get back to Italy but need to save up and the hopeful priority is to Greece this year.  You have friends in Europe are you in contact to see what plans you can make?

[Speaker 1] Yes I've been talking to them quite a bit so they know what's going on. I'll be staying with some of them while I'm over there. I have never been to Greece....I'd like to go though. Maybe I'll add it to my itinerary! Maybe we could plan to be in Greece at the same time?!

[Speaker 2] That would be so good.  There is so much history and the roman statues i take my daughter to see in the museums and through our local resources is fab.  She is building up the passion which is lovely to see.  Have you still got your hair blue or has it grown out now?

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! Maybe you can teach me a little about all the mythology. I think I've never liked it before only because I didn't understand it. My hair is back to being its natural brown - lol I'm being boring for the moment.

[Speaker 2] Never boring you will keep styling it all sorts of interesting styles im sure.  Yes i would be lovely to be your guide for the day out in Greece.  Bring some decent walking boots and some sun cream, its a different heat out there but your tan is probably topped up with going to the beach each day.

[Speaker 1] That's good advice! Thank you! I saw on the news Cali has been getting a lot of rain. Have you still been able to run on the beach each day?

[Speaker 2] I've got very wet most days unfortunately but need to keep up with the exercise.  Been taking to the gym to keep dry.  When im not out in the surf of a morning first thing on the weekends, to avoid the crowds as you know im not too good at the surfing but its good fun.

[Speaker 1] That's great you've kept your routine though! I want to learn to surf someday!!!

[Speaker 2] Lets do it!! Gives me a chance to check out your new car also.  Is it a sporty one?  Lots to catch up on but this has been fun hun

[Speaker 1] That sounds very relaxing! Well it was nice getting to know you.

[Speaker 2] Same here.i may call my mother she is a nurse.

[Speaker 1] Have you made any new paintings recently?

[Speaker 2] I have, but it is kind of silly. It is a portrait of The Who from the 70s. Might be able to sell it to a fan, though! Any chance you are that fan? Hahaha

[Speaker 1] I do love The Who, how much would you be selling it for?

[Speaker 2] It is on a large canvas (20x30) and took 17 hours to finish, but I would give you a discount. What about $500?

[Speaker 1] Ahhh that is a little pricey for me, as I am someone who does not typically invest in art. I hope you can find someone to purchase it though! Maybe we can go sing The Who are karaoke night however!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know it is not cheap, but I gotta make that green! I would LOVE to do karaoke. I know you have said you are up for anything, but do you usually do classic rock or is there another type of music you prefer to sing?

[Speaker 1] I feel you! Go get that money! And I do a little bit of it all. I definitely lean towards classic rock. Queen, ACDC, Journey are my go to. But I can do it all!

[Speaker 2] You are speaking my language! I cannot wait to rock out with you!! Are there any dog-friendly bars with karaoke?

[Speaker 1] In my area no, but I am sure there is one out there somewhere we can find! Do you have dogs?

[Speaker 2] I do not, but I am going to be petsitting for a friend for a few months while she is traveling. I am excited about it!

[Speaker 1] That is awesome! What kind of dogs does she have?

[Speaker 1] I am free after work tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] That would work. Anytime after 5 is good for me...

[Speaker 1] Great. Let's meet at 6 then. Maybe after you teach me, we may go to karaoke together. Would you like that?

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome... if (and that’s a big IF lol) we can find a dog friendly bar that is! I’m going to search the net for something...

[Speaker 1] I got this, no need for you to search. I know a great place that is dog friendly!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! You rock!! In that case, we’re 100% on for tomorrow! I’m getting excited just thinking about it :)

[Speaker 1] Yeay! I cant wait! I need to dust my painter skills and with your help I will be on track soon! Thank you for accepting to help me! I will be sending you the location of the place. You will love it. It belongs to one of my friends.

[Speaker 2] I’m sure I’ll love it ... thanks! Yup, you just bring your painter skills and enthusiasm coz I have plenty of supplies! You can also take a look at the portrait I just completed.

[Speaker 1] I would love it! Am I going to be the first person to see your latest portrait?

[Speaker 2] Yes indeed, and it’s the one of The Who that you were interested in. I know the initial offer was a bit pricey for you but maybe we can work something out ;)

I am employed.

I want to learn how to paint.

I also have a job with animals.

I like rock music.

I spend a lot of time outdoors.

I like to paint and watch animals. I enjoy petsitting.  I painted a portrait recently. I rent. My friend has 4 pugs.

My mother is a nurse.

I am available to teach art after 5:00 pm.

I enjoy singing karaoke.

I like the band The Who. I sell my art for an income.

[Speaker 1] I found a karaoke bar that is pet-friendly; especially dogs!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome I can bring my friend and her pugs and we will have a blast!

[Speaker 1] So what is your favorite song to sing @ Karaoke?

[Speaker 2] I love to sing We Will Rock You by Queen, it gets everyone up and moving, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Islands in the Stream! It blows my mind how everyone just knows that song.

[Speaker 2] I knew it! I will be right up there singing it with you! Afterwards I will have to show you my latest painting.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can't wait to see "Who" it is! LMAO  I have to ask, how do you manage 4 dogs?

[Speaker 2] I see what you did there hahaha and it really isn't too bad since they are small, but it can be a handful to try to walk them all at once. Cuties though!

[Speaker 1] You're a very good friend. I don't think I'd be able to have them with me for that long, I'd get too attached and not want to give them back.

[Speaker 2] Haha well thanks, I am just happy to be able to help a friend in need!

[Speaker 1] I have a feeling you'll have a new masterpiece soon, a painting of four dogs.

[Speaker 2] Haha yes maybe I can paint you sitting with them

I have my own construction company.

I like to do karaoke in my free time. I love to sing Islands in the Stream.

I have a lot of friends.

I love The Who.

I am employed.

I enjoy singing karaoke.

I want to learn how to paint.

I also have a job with animals.

I like rock music.

I spend a lot of time outdoors.

My mother is a nurse.

I enjoy singing karaoke. I love to sing We Will Rock You by Queen.

I have 4 dogs.

[Speaker 1] I made us all reservation - including your friend with the pugs! Prepare yourself!!

[Speaker 2] That sounds exciting! Reservations for where?

[Speaker 1] The Karaoke bar! We both love karaoke, so it only makes sense we do it together for once. What other songs do you like singing?

[Speaker 2] There are some other Queen songs I know how to sing, I love that band. I also know some Elvis songs haha

[Speaker 1] Sounds good, I can't wait. How has your art been coming along?

[Speaker 2] Great actually, I have a new commission from someone I have done some petsitting for, they would like me to paint a portrait of their labrador.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds like the best of both worlds! Getting to spend time with a dog, doing your hobby that you enjoy, AND making money off of it.

[Speaker 2] Yes, life is good! It's nice that I know the dog too, it means I can put some of it's personality into the painting, I am looking forward to it

[Speaker 1] Whats your other job with animals? You're so lucky that you get to combine all your passions like that in your work. I wish I could find a job in the arts, working at a construction company gets old.

[Speaker 2] I do some petsitting for people when they are away, I also do some dog walking, I love anything to do with animals. Construction sounds exciting and interesting but I guess all jobs become boring after a while. Do you have other hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Honestly my dream is to do more art like you! I've dabbled in some recreational painting, but I have no idea how to turn it into a career.

[Speaker 2] You should take some classes, that's how I turned my hobby into a paying venture, it is hard though, as soon as someone is paying you to recreate something it's no longer a hobby and it makes you feel pressured, it's not as fun.

[Speaker 1] I am great. Residing in arizona, skydiving is awesome, barnes and noble is my favorite, you?

[Speaker 2] I like movies over books, love punk music and just love to cruise around!

[Speaker 1] I am a government official in spare time I play with gabby my lizard. Hows cruising?

[Speaker 2] Nice, I'm a part time employee at a warehouse. Cruising is fun.

[Speaker 1] How the warehouse job? You like it?

[Speaker 2] It's okay, just part time work. Best part is lunch, lots of pizza of burgers.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok. Not the healthiest choices but those are my favorite lol. What else is going on?

[Speaker 2] Not much, the usual. I watch movies a lot in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] Movies are always awesome. I enjoy family time as well whenever I can get it.

[Speaker 2] Same here. What do you like to do with your family?

I enjoy spending time with my family.

I watch a lot of movies.

[Speaker 1] Did you get a chance to cruise around?

[Speaker 2] I sure did! Took my Subaru up to the mountains! Got some great photos!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! You will have to share the photos with me next time I see you. Did you run into any wildlife?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I saw a turtle stuck in the mud, so I had to stop my awesome cruising to help him out. I have photos of him too. I will definitely share them with you.

[Speaker 1] OH wow! I hope the turtle was okay! That was very kind of you. I thought about getting a turtle as a friend for my lizard, but I would never take one from the wild.

[Speaker 2] I think he was fine. Just needed a little push. Do you think Gabby needs a friend?

[Speaker 1] I think it would be nice for her to have a playmate. I like to create playgrounds out of recycled bottles for her to play on

[Speaker 2] That is so cute and lovely! How often do you get to do that? I feel like your job probably takes up much of your time.

[Speaker 1] Usually on weekends. My nieces and nephews love to help me out when they come over for Sunday dinner.

[Speaker 2] This gets cuter and cuter. How many nieces and nephews do you have?

[Speaker 1] 2 nieces and 3 nephews! They are quite a wild bunch when we all get together. Do you have any?

[Speaker 2] Wow! That sounds like a great way to spend your weekends. I do not have any. I am an only child.

I am a government official. I have a lizard named gabby. I like to created playgrounds for my lizard.

I enjoy spending time with my family.

I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews.

I watch a lot of movies.

I own a Subaru. I take photos.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite movie to watch?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is Clueless. The fashion is so fun! Have you seen it?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have and it is one of my favorites as well. What's your favorite type of movie?

[Speaker 2] Alicia Silverstone was the perfect Cher. I love comedies and rom coms the most. You?

[Speaker 1] I think my favorites are action and mysteries. I also like drama like cop shows.

[Speaker 2] I heard they might cancel COPS. That would be sad. It is such a classic.

[Speaker 1] Really? That would be awful. I can't believe some of the crazy things that happen on that show. Have you read any books yet this year?

[Speaker 2] I read Tori Spelling's tell all. IT was really juciy!

[Speaker 1] oh cool, I know you're not a big fan on reading but that's something at least. I will have to read it now.

[Speaker 2] It was actually quite interesting! Who knew she was so fascinating?!

[Speaker 1] I bet! What kind of warehouse do you work at?

[Speaker 2] We do personal storage. Not very exciting!

I enjoy spending time with my family.

I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews.

"Clueless" is one of my favorite movies.My favorite genres are action and mysteries.  I also like cop shows. I like to read.

I am a part time employee at a storage warehouse.

I own a Subaru. I take photos.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] I read the Tori Spelling novel you told me about!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What did you think of it?

[Speaker 1] I thought it was really good. Thanks for recommending it. You also said you watch a lot of movies. Can you recommend a good movie to me too?

[Speaker 2] Well, I've been watching a lot of romantic comedies lately. We should watch a couple the next time we have a movie night! I also wanted to ask, are there any cop shows you'd recommend? I'd like to try watching them too.

[Speaker 1] I would recommend Manifest and Line of Duty for cop shows. Do you have any romantic comedies you would recommend?

[Speaker 2] I'll add them to my list! Actually, you're going to love this. They remade our favorite, "Clueless"! And it actually looks really funny!

[Speaker 1] That's great news! I'd love to see a remake of the movie both you and I love, especially a funny one!  To change the subject a little bit, I'm thinking about buying a new car. Have you had any repair problems with your Subaru?

[Speaker 2] So far, I love my Subaru! I haven't had any problems with it, even when I go off-road to take pictures. I'd recommend one for sure.

[Speaker 1] I will definitely go to the Subaru dealership to check those out. I have head really good things about Subarus from other people too. I went to a Volvo meet last weekend and test-drove an electric car. It was a thrill for me to do that, the car was so luxurious. But I could never afford it. Subarus are more in my price range. Does yours have a smooth ride to it or does it take road imperfections hard?

[Speaker 2] It's been really smooth, and I go pretty far off road to take pictures. It also has a lot more room than those electric cars, so you'll have plenty of room for more family trips with your neices and nephews. I'd love to invest in an electric car in the future, but for now I'm right there with you. Subarus are a lot more affordable.

[Speaker 1] That's a good point you make about needing plenty of room for my nieces and nephews. I drive them all over the place in AZ. Of course, I don't have to worry so much about snow and ice being hard on my car in AZ. Where do you live and do you have to worry about winters being hard on your Subaru?

[Speaker 2] I'm farther east, and we definitely get hit with the ice and snow up here. It's hard on cars but I've learned how to care for my Subaru. For example, I buy snow tires every year. And driving around Arizona with the family sounds like so much fun!

I enjoy spending time with my family.

I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews.

I have read a Tori Spelling novel. I enjoy Tori Spelling novels. I enjoy the police shows called Manifest and Line of Duty.

I am thinking of buying a new car. I test drove an electric car at a Volvo meet last weekend.   I could not afford a Volvo but Subarus are more in my price range.

I am an only child.

I watch a lot of movies. My favorite movie is 'Clueless'. I love comedies and romantic comedies the best. I have read Tori Spelling's tell all book recently. I would like to watch some cop shows.

I own a Subaru and sometimes drive it off-road to take pictures.

I would like to buy an electric car someday.

I live in a snowy area and buy snow tires every year.

[Speaker 1] I went to a Subaru dealer the other day to look at some new cars.

[Speaker 2] Are you looking it larger family cars? Can you afford an electric?

[Speaker 1] I can afford the electric car, but it will be tight. I'm thinking it would be worth it though so I can do my part for the environment. How do you like your Subaru? Would you recommend it as a family car?

[Speaker 2] Mine is mid-size but I love the durability. I'd consider an electric eventually. If you want a family-size the space is decent for the prics

[Speaker 1] Oh cool that makes sense. What kind of electric car are you considering? I've always wanted a Tesla.

[Speaker 2] Probably a Subaru or Jeep for off-roading. I want to photograph nature in isolated areas

[Speaker 1] OH wow I didn't know you were into that! I love photographing nature as well. I just recently spent a fortune on an old film camera. Have you ever shot on film?

[Speaker 2] Never but that sounds interesting. I bet it would be great for nature shots. Is it good for action filming?

[Speaker 1] Not really unfortunately. Since you can't see the image until you get it developed, and buying and developing film is expensive, it isn't really worth it for action shot. For that, its probably best to just use a good old iPhone's high shutter speed.

[Speaker 2] Makes sense. Do you film or photograph Arizona wildlife?

[Speaker 1] I photograph it, but using film cameras! I think you've got it confused with film as in video recording, haha. I meant more in the old-fashioned film roll sense.

[Speaker 2] I see! You could use it for family footage and vacations
