I am a gator hunter. I have an air boat. I've been in trouble with the law before. My dream car is an'81 camaro. I went hungry to buy 33 inch truck tires.
Speaker 2
I am a vegan. I love to volunteer at my local community garden. Have two dogs and cat. I am a student at a community college. I am hoping to be a nurse one day.
Speaker 1
I eat gator. I enjoy gator hunting. I want a Camaro. I have a felony conviction.
Speaker 2
I do some gardening at a local garden. I am vegan. I grow food that I eat. I have been vegan for four minutes. I have two dogs and two cats. I want to be a nurse. I recently started nursing school.
Speaker 1
Hey there. How's it going?
Speaker 2
Fine, just finished working the local garden and ready to relax.
Speaker 1
What kind of things you like to grow?
Speaker 2
Food to eat mainly, helps this vegan community college student afford life.
Speaker 1
So how long you been vegan?
Speaker 2
About 4 minutes now, my 2 dogs and 2 cats are happy for me.
Speaker 1
I'll bet! You can't eat cats or dogs when you're vegan right? What about gator?
Speaker 2
You sound like you own an airboat, or I'll never be a nurse!
Speaker 1
I'd be vegan if it weren't for the gator hunting. How long you been in nursing school?
Speaker 2
About 7 minutes now. Seems like I have a long ways to go.
Speaker 1
About as long as it'll take me to save up for an 81 camaro.
Speaker 2
You own it sooner if you weren't buy those 33" tires!
Speaker 1
Maybe. And if my felony conviction didn't hurt my resume.
Speaker 2
I fault the car, but the claw won.

Speaker 1
What's your favorite vegan recipe that a meat-eater might like?
Speaker 2
To get started, I would suggest using Beyond meat as a meat substitute. It is completely vegan and tastes just like real meat to help people ease into being a vegan.
Speaker 1
Thanks for the idea! I wonder if they make a Beyond meat substitute for gator meat. I could try to use some of my famous gator recipes on other Beyond Meats too
Speaker 2
I haven't seen any but that would be very interesting! Have you been gator hunting recently?
Speaker 1
Yes, just last weekend! I killed three gators, and I sold the meat to two of my friends. I kept one gator's meat all for myself though. Have you ever been hunting?
Speaker 2
No I have never done any type of hunting but gator hunting sounds the most intriguing, probably because you are the only person I know who does it. Do your friends go with you?
Speaker 1
No, I typically prefer to gator hunt alone. It is more relaxing that way. Are there other types of outdoor activities that you like?
Speaker 2
Aside from gardening, I like to spend time with my dogs outdoors. We hike, paddleboard, bike--well I bike they ride in the basket, and play fetch.
Speaker 1
That sounds like a blast! I used to have a dog who I would take with me for hunting. What types of dogs do you have?
Speaker 2
I have a pomeranian and a yorkie so they are both small but very active!
Speaker 1
Very cool. Pomeranians are great dogs. I used to take a Spaniel with me for hunting, but I lost him while I was in jail for the felony conviction. 
Speaker 2
I am sorry to hear that! Have you thought about getting another dog?

Speaker 2
I do some gardening at a local garden. I am vegan. I grow food that I eat. I have been vegan for four minutes. I know how to cook vegan food. I have two dogs and two cats. I want to be a nurse. I recently started nursing school. I've never gone hunting.  I like paddleboard and biking. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs. I have a Pomeranian and a Yorkie.
Speaker 1
I finally found a Beyond meat substitute for gator! Can you help me come up with a recipe for it?
Speaker 2
really for gator? i don't know. I guess since gator taste like chicken you can substitute it in a chicken recipe.
Speaker 1
I was thinking something similar, but I do want to make it special. Vegan gator salad with mayo? Or vegan gator pot pie? I guess the options are endless. 
Speaker 2
Yes. any vegetarian recipe would be good and just at the beyond meat.
Speaker 1
Oh my goodness! My gator tacos! That is what I will try first. How to you feel about cilantro? Do you grow it?
Speaker 2
Gator tacos sound great. no  cilantro for me. I never liked the taste. I learned that it is genetic in liking cilantro or not. For some people it taste like soap. 
Speaker 1
I have heard that too! One of my prison buddies was so disgusted by it, he threatened harm to any one who added it to their homemade salsa in our canning class. 
Speaker 2
wow, I don't know what to say. Getting shived over cilantro, haha
Speaker 1
I know, right? No fake gator tacos for him! Maybe I will try an aioli for these. Thoughts on garlic?
Speaker 2
I have never tried garlic on tacos. I like it spicy. I do like apple slices in my tacos though.
Speaker 1
Apple slices in a taco?! I have never heard of such a thing! What kind of spices go with apple?
Speaker 2
just your regular chili spices. With apple you get a great combination of sweetness and spice.

Speaker 1
I took your advice and bought apples to slice up and try on my gator tacos this evening! I am nervous to try it! 
Speaker 2
Awesome! I can't wait to see what you think!
Speaker 1
I hope it is good. It seems a little weird to be putting apples on tacos, but I trust you on telling me it is good. 
Speaker 2
It's like putting mango salsa on your tacos but with a little extra crunch. Just make sure the slices aren't to thick. You want to make sure they're cut into thin strips or sticks. 
Speaker 1
So like the size of like a matchsticks. Ok that makes sense wouldn't want them to big. 
Speaker 2
Haha, yeah, now that would make it weird, but when you cut them up small, it's like adding a sweet crunchy garnish. It's delicious!
Speaker 1
Great, I can't wait to try it now. I know it will be great. How is nursing school going so far?
Speaker 2
Nursing school is intense! I love it, but it can be really stressful at times. 
Speaker 1
I am sure it can be stressful. But once it is over you can finally work in your dream job.
Speaker 2
Absolutely! I need to find ways to manage the stress, though, because it only gets more intense from here. I'm trying to make friends with some of the older students, so they can show my the ropes and give me some tips on how to manage it all.
Speaker 1
Is there anything you like to do for fun. You should make sure to do that to help with stress.
Speaker 2
I love food, haha! I really like experimenting with different flavors and textures in the kitchen. That's how I came up with the apple slices on tacos!

Speaker 1
I tried the apples on my gator tacos and really liked it!
Speaker 2
I told you it was good! You need to come over some time so I can make you my special dish! Where did you get your gator meat?
Speaker 1
I have been hunting gators myself and selling the meat I do not need. I do have to be careful, because my license expired and thats how I ened up in jail. haha, but man is it good money! I am nervous about trying new food, though, so bare with me on that and try not to go too crazy on a new recipe.
Speaker 2
Wow, I can't believe you hunt them! Illegally, too, ha ha! I've never even gone hunting before! Is it dangerous to hunt gator?
Speaker 1
It's extremely dangerous but really relaxing for me. It wasn't always illegal, but there is a limit each month to how many gators you can hunt, and I enjoy the money. You should try hunting, but legal hunting, haha. Don't be like me. Do you like duck or deer? I would suggest trying to hunt that. I can even teach you.
Speaker 2
We should go some time! It sounds fun and I always enjoy an adrenaline rush. Extra money doesn't hurt anyone either. I've tried both but I really prefer how duck tastes. I had this awesome Peking Duck dish at a restaurant before and it was to die for. What about you?
Speaker 1
I've never had Peking Duck, but it sounds good based on how you describe it. I've only cooked my own duck meat because I'm picky in how it's seasoned. Have your dogs ever hunted before? Imagine them bringing you a duck, saves the time for you!
Speaker 2
I get what you mean, I've only had gator tacos that I made myself. I wish my dogs could hunt but I think they are too small, ha ha. My Yorkie is really good at chasing off rats though. Did you ever take your dog hunting?
Speaker 1
I did, but unfortunately, my dog died due to it, which is why I never got a dog again. It's a dangerous career and I put my dog's life at risk. Maybe for small creatures, like ducks, would of been fine, but gators, I should of been smart. That was another charge I got put on me: "Animal abuse". I didn't even know that could be a charge. Have you ever gotten in trouble with the law?
Speaker 2
Oh wow that's terrible to hear. I'm more sorry for the dog, though, what a terrible way to go. I've never gotten into too much trouble with the law, other than a hefty fine for going 70 MPH in a school zone where construction was also taking place. Not fun.
Speaker 1
A speedster, hah. That's good to hear, though. Having a record really makes it difficult to get a job which is why I still gator hunt even though my license is expired. Not much else I could do. And, ya, I felt really bad for my dog. I cried that night for her. That's why I've never gotten another dog. 
Speaker 2
Yup, I unfortunately had to disclose that for my nursing school interview which definitely didn't help me get a foot into a lot of schools. My previous dog lived for 16 years before passing, and it was really rough to deal with that. I swear my Pomeranian and Yorkie were depressed for a while following her passing. I love dogs but right now I'm not ready for another one, either.
