Hey I'm frank. I grew up in ca on the beach. What about you?
Speaker 2
Hi! I love to fish and spend as much time as possible near the ocean.
Speaker 1
Thats awesome! My dad owns a surf shop. Morning surfing is my favorite.
Speaker 2
I don't have time to surf anymore since I work at a doctor's office.
Speaker 1
That's a good career though. I'm in a band. I play the drums and write music..
Speaker 2
Right now I am listening to sublime a lot when I relax on the beach.
Speaker 1
I love them! I would love to see them live one day.
Speaker 2
Do you go to a lot of concerts?
Speaker 1
Not other than the ones I play in.
Speaker 2
How many people are in your band?
Speaker 1
4. The singer is my best friend. I write the songs and he sings them.
Speaker 2
Neat. You must have been a good student at writing.
Speaker 1
That was the only subject I was good in!.
Speaker 2
I understand! I was bad at math. I preferred fishing.

Speaker 1
My band booked a concert in Denver.
Speaker 2
That is really awesome. I should take a trip there to watch you play.
Speaker 1
You totally should! Have you been to many small concerts before?
Speaker 2
I have been to a couple. But I have never been to one that I know the members of the band.
Speaker 1
Those are the best kind. I'm sure I could get some tickets for you. I'll have to talk to my friend who helps manage our band. Just a warning, we get pretty loud!
Speaker 2
I love loud. It helps broke away from the day to day life of working in a doctor's office. I love it, but sometimes I just want to rock out.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's what first made me get into music and surfing. Having a way to just get away from it all is so important. I have to imagine the doctor's office can get pretty dull sometimes.
Speaker 2
Yeah, it can. But I love my patients. It nice to know all of the people they are like family.
Speaker 1
That's cool. I'm sure it feels good to help people too. What kind of practice is it specifically?
Speaker 2
Just a general practice so nothing special. 
Speaker 1
Oh okay. Have you made any plans to go fishing soon?
Speaker 2
Yeah, I took a couple weeks off to go awhile for a little while. I just need a break from it all.

Speaker 1
What is the most memorable fish you have caught?
Speaker 2
One time, I caught a huge trout, and it bit my hand! It really hurt!
Speaker 1
How big was the trout?
Speaker 2
It was nearly a meter long!  Have you ever been fishing?
Speaker 1
Oh wow!  I went once but we caught a fish that was only 2 inches long.
Speaker 2
Oh that's tiny! Do you see a lot of fish when you go surfing?
Speaker 1
Not usually, I'm too preoccupied with trying not to die haha.  
Speaker 2
Haha! You must be pretty good at surfing though, as you grew up on the beach?
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, you know me too well.  They call me "lil fishie".
Speaker 2
Haha I'm going to call you that from now on. I wish I had time to go surfing!
Speaker 1
The next time you want to go fishing, just go to a surf shop and get some lessons instead.
Speaker 2
That's an idea. I just feel like it will take me a long time to learn, unlike fishing where I already know what I'm doing! But I guess I have to start somewhere!

Speaker 1
I decided to take you up on your offer to take me fishing.
Speaker 2
That's great, I would be happy to teach you everything I know. Do you enjoy eating fish? 
Speaker 1
I do.  Mainly salmon or tuna.  What kind of fish will we be trying to catch?  
Speaker 2
We could try catching trout since it is both easy to catch and cook. Do you usually cook for yourself? 
Speaker 1
No.  I am a horrible cook.  I could screw up boiling water!  Looks like you may need to help me catch AND cook the fish.
Speaker 2
No worries! I am very passionate about cooking. I got a new recipe book for my birthday in May, so we could try it out. Is there any food you are allergic to? 
Speaker 1
I am allergic to strawberries.  I don't think that should be too hard to avoid.  What are your favorite things to cook?  
Speaker 2
I love Italian food! I like cooking pasta, risotto, and I'm getting better at making pizza all by myself. Have you every been to Italy or tried Italian dishes? 
Speaker 1
My band toured Italy last fall.  We spend 6 weeks at different towns and bars.  We seem to have a bit of a following there.  The food was amazing!
Speaker 2
That is so cool! Being in a band must be so interesting. You get to visit so many places! What other countries did you tour?
Speaker 1
Sometimes it is cool and others not so much.  Italy was great.  But, we spent 2 weeks playing at clubs in Uzbekistan which is not the greatest.  We have also had to hit some smaller countries in Central and South America.  IT can be rough when you are worried about getting kidnapped or shot!
Speaker 2
I imagine it can be very dangerous sometimes, and probably very tiring to be on the road for long periods of time. But I assume it is worth it for the overall experience. Do you see yourself doing anything else for a living apart from this?
