Speaker 1
Hello, just got back from fishing, how are you?
Speaker 2
Fine. I love to fish. Live by the ocean?
Speaker 1
Yep, get kinda tired of it sometimes. I'm a pro fisher.
Speaker 2
I live in florida. What do you fish for?
Speaker 1
Tuna for work but whatever bites. Florida is nice. You like baseball?
Speaker 2
Yes, I used to live in cincinnati so, I'm a big reds fan.
Speaker 1
Ah, the reds. I'm a fan even though I'm in new york.
Speaker 2
Yeah! I'm in the process of setting up a work from home office.
Speaker 1
Sorry, my lasagna was finished in the oven. What kind of vehicle do you have?
Speaker 2
A hyundai elantra. Good gas mileage. I really like it.
Speaker 1
I gotta have the gas guzzling trucks!
Speaker 2
My fiance has a ford f150 and it eats the gas!
Speaker 1
Oh, congrats on the engagement. When's the date?
Speaker 2
It's a "forever engagement". We've both been married before.

Speaker 1
How is the home office coming along? 
Speaker 2
Pretty goof! It's actually harder to separate home from work now, and there's a noise problem, but okay otherwise. Have you been out fishing yet this spring?
Speaker 1
Yeah I think there are probably pros and cons of working from home but I'm glad it's going well! I try to get out a few times a week but it's been kind of cold here in New York. Hoping to go twice this weekend! Wishing I was where you are in Florida - have you been fishing lately?
Speaker 2
Yes, got into a huge school of trevalley and also a good sized marlin! I was surprised to get to do saltwater this early but guide prices are cheap this year
Speaker 1
That's awesome! How is the wedding planning going?
Speaker 2
Arrrgh--her mother has taken over and is making a much bigger deal than it needs to be. How's your new truck doing?
Speaker 1
Haha I know how that goes. Mother in laws are always a challenge. The truck is running like a dream. I'm so glad I upgraded and don't have to worry about it breaking down all the time now.
Speaker 2
What features does it have?
Speaker 1
It's a 2021 Ram 1500 with a v-6 engine. It's great because I can tow my boat with ease and the cargo bed is huge. It's got all the bells and whistles pretty much.
Speaker 2
Wow! I am really envious. That would pull my bass boat much easier than my beat-up old Ranger
Speaker 1
Maybe you'll get enough money from your wedding to buy a new truck! Haha if the wife allows.
Speaker 2
I'm paying for the wedding -- if I come within three grand of breaking even I'll be lucky :)

I have an old ranger and a bass boat.
Speaker 1
How is the wedding planning? I hope the mother in law has calmed down a little bit?
Speaker 2
Nope, not even a little, might have gotten worse. She cant seem to get over that I have been divorced. She feels I am going to do the same thing to her child
Speaker 1
Wow. That's terrible man, I'm sorry. Maybe take the mother-in-law out for a day? Just the two of you, and talk.
Speaker 2
I don't know if I can handle that. I've had my fiance try to talk to her and that hasn't worked. Maybe I can take her to a nice dinner where we will be around people and she cant act up as much
Speaker 1
Good idea. I'd try going just the two of you though. Make her see that your'e not going to hurt her child. Maybe see if she wants to go fishing with you? Longer trip, but maybe spending the day together will get her to relax. Who knows, you might become good friends.
Speaker 2
But here's the thing, I didn't think anything bad would happen with my prior marriage either. We can't control the future. That's part of the problem. I won't guarantee anything
Speaker 1
One thing you can guarantee though is how you feel for now, right?
Speaker 2
Exactly and I'm deeply in love, but all she can bring up is the divorce. I've talked about that extensively with my fiancé and we are solid. I don't get why her mother can't just accept us
Speaker 1
Well, I guess we can't please everyone. You tried, and that's all that matters. We can change the topic though if you'd like. Did you see the game yesterday? Red's did it again!
Speaker 2
Oh you know how I love to talk about my Reds! I think we actually have a chance this year...not to win it all, but at least get to the playoffs. Baby steps
Speaker 1
Yep, I think we have a fighting chance. I'm looking forward to the playoffs.
Speaker 2
We have got to catch a game together sometime. It's been too long

Speaker 1
Did you work things out with the mother-in-law yet?
Speaker 2
Yeah, I think I just have to get used to the fact that in-laws are tough! Hopefully it does not last too long. How was the game yesterday?
Speaker 1
It was a close one, but our Reds lost. I have a good feeling about them this year in the playoffs though. Thankfully they already clinched a spot 
Speaker 2
How did you get to become a fan of the Reds, since you live in New York? 
Speaker 1
I live in New York now, but I was born in Ohio. There was Reds stuff all over the house!
Speaker 2
Oh I see, got it! How do you like living in New York compared to how you grew up? I imagine it must be a huge change. Are you able to find time to go fishing or drive your truck out in New York?
Speaker 1
It's not so bad. It can get a bit colder but I love it. Many people think of the big city when they think of new york, but I live in a pretty rural area. I am able to go fishing from time to time so it is nice. Speaking of fishing, how is your bass boat holding up?
Speaker 2
Its doing fine, but to be honest I haven't used it much lately. My wedding planning and office work has eaten up a bunch of my time. I'm hoping to move into a more rural area after getting married and spend way more time in nature. You're lucky you found a cool spot like that!
Speaker 1
That is right! You must be so busy planning the wedding. I am so excited to come!
Speaker 2
Haha, I hope it goes smoothly. I never know with my mother in law. She loves to create drama at every gathering. You'll see what I mean when you meet her!
Speaker 1
I can only imagine when we all have had something to drink. Sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun! Have you gone cake tasting yet? I cannot wait to do that someday.
Speaker 2
Yes, but i've gone pretty simple on all the food and decor! It's kind of hard to go all out since I'm paying for all of it myself. Who knew how expensive weddings are! Have you gotten married before, or do you plan to?

I'm keeping my wedding plans simple and inexpensive.
Speaker 1
I won second place in a fishing tournament. 
Speaker 2
Really? how did you get the winning catch? or are fishing torunaments won by group weight. It does sound like alot of fun on the lake though.
Speaker 1
We had an hour to catch as many tuna as possible and then the winner was decided based on the combined weight of all of our catches.  It was a lot of fun!
Speaker 2
What a catch of a day! I'm sure the wind is great out on the ocean, but boy if I could catch Tuna in a lake I sure would. I haven't even been able to make it out on the office this week, spent the time reminiscing about past catches... both on and off the lake!
Speaker 1
You need to get out of the office!  Maybe ask for some time off.  Work is important but you need to make time for yourself too.
Speaker 2
I feel that, but between the in-laws and the wedding? I'm screwed. Not only did I have to use my PTO for getting off for this thing, but since I'm paying for it myself I'll be back in no time. Hopefully switching jobs will help but I wont make it if I strangle my mother in law in the process XD
Speaker 1
That is tough haha.  Has she been doing anything else to aggravate you lately?
Speaker 2
Oh shes just been on the old nerves because of the wedding. I want something simple, like a gazebo by the lake and some friends. But she wants all the elegance of a ballroom and all the pompus BS that comes with it. I'm a simple man! I don't go around Florida fishing for Bass and Marlin because it's.... elegant.
Speaker 1
That's so frustrating! What has your fiance said about it?
Speaker 2
Oh and my wife is so sweet but hates confrontation! She might as well had been in a bomb shelter for this whole thing. I swear if she wasn't just the, best, person a bass fisherman like me could have, I would just walk into the swamp away from all of this. Unless there was a Reds game man those Reds. They'll probably go all the way this year, maybe not. I'm a fair weather fan really, life's too short to root for a bad team. 
Speaker 1
She'll have to stick up for you unless she wants her mom to hate you!  I hope they do go all the way.  If not, I can just root for the Yankees or the Mets.
Speaker 2
That's what I'm talking about! Maybe I'll just take them all out fishing, I mean, how better to solve all of our problems. I me no worries though, I am getting the heck out of here as soon as were married. I mean, if I can work from home? Maybe I'll convince her to move with me to one of those remote American territories. Oh the fish I would catch in the middle of the Pacific.
