I love listening to country music. I live on a large corn and bean farm. I like driving trucks and tractors are my favorite. My favorite time of the year is winter. My father is a preacher in church.
Speaker 2
I am a father. I am a brother. I am atheist. I am middle aged. I am employed.
Speaker 1
I like country music. My parents listened to country. My family has a farm. I did not go to college. I do not have a nice car.
Speaker 2
I dislike country music. I am in a family run business. My family does real estate. I like winter. My life is not peaceful. I have kids.
Speaker 1
Hey ya, sitting here listening to some country music, do you like country music?
Speaker 2
Not really, in fact it is the one genre I don't like..
Speaker 1
Oh shoot, I born and raised county preachers kid. I think it is in our blood.
Speaker 2
My family and I focus more on the company. But that is interesting!
Speaker 1
What is the company? We run our own produce farm.
Speaker 2
We have built quite a successful real estate company throughout the years..
Speaker 1
Wow, that must be interesting, do you have a particular favorite time of year?
Speaker 2
I would say winter. Are you in college perhaps?
Speaker 1
Naw, just working the farm. Never been too far.
Speaker 2
Peaceful and quiet life. I could go for some of that after a day of hustle..
Speaker 1
I hear ya, I bet you drive a big fancy car.
Speaker 2
Not too fancy, too much luxurious items distract from the preciousness of our little ones.
Speaker 1
You have a good evening.
Speaker 2
You as well. Nice to meet you.

Speaker 1
I know you said you don't like country music but you also said you like every other genre. You've got to check this band out, it's more of a blues sound.
Speaker 2
Oh yeah? I suppose I could try to give it a listen, who are they?
Speaker 1
Quaker City Night Hawks. Their live performances are incredible! I'm attending one of their shows soon if you'd like to come and bring your kids along.
Speaker 2
I live a pretty hectic life but I may be able to squeeze something like that in. Is it appropriate to bring kids there?
Speaker 1
It sure is! I think it will turn into a fond memory. You deserve some quality time with your kids. They actually have a concert coming up this winter so you can plan ahead for it.
Speaker 2
Hey that could be good if we could do it during winter break, make a weekend of it. I agree, I would love to have quality time and make memories
Speaker 1
I'd be happy to have you guys stay over at the farm after the concert. I promise you, it's nice to get away from the city sometimes.
Speaker 2
That sounds really lovely, maybe if we like it enough out there we could come back or even move--I'm tired of the city!
Speaker 1
I hear that! The city is awfully oppressive with its neverending traffic and craziness. It's much more peaceful out here. Your kids could even milk some cows!
Speaker 2
Oh  no, if they enjoy it, then they will bug me non stop for a cow haha
Speaker 1
Haha that might be a problem!! Can't exactly bring a cow into your apartment. It's good for your kids to get a sense for where their food comes from through..
Speaker 2
Even though we don't drink cows milk, I agree! That sounds like a great time we would all enjoy and I cannot wait to plan!

Speaker 2
I dislike country music. I am in a family run business. My family does real estate. I like winter. My life is not peaceful. I live in a city. I might want to move. My kids can bug me for favors. My kids don't drink cows milk.
Speaker 1
My parents has decided to buy me a nice truck.
Speaker 2
That's so nice of them! Is it payment for all your hard work on the family farm?
Speaker 1
Yeah. It is a perk of working on the farm. We blend our assets together and I'm sure I will be using the truck for the farm work, so it's not all mine really. Do your kids drink soy or almond milk? How do they eat cereal?
Speaker 2
We usually go almond milk. Cow's milk doesn't sit well on their stomaches for some reason, even the lactose-free kind. I'm hoping they'll grow out of that. I miss cow's milk myself. I buy it every now and then, but if the kids get into it, it's a disaster for at least a day, and I don't have time to play milk police.
Speaker 1
Oh no, that's a challenge. Almond and rice milk are pretty good, but I would also miss regular milk. I am sure in the city it's a lot easier to get special foods like gluten free and dairy free if you need it. What if anything, do you like about living in the city?
Speaker 2
I love how late everything is open. Like you said, there's a wide availability of products, and on a mom schedule, sometimes I need to do my shopping very late. It's mostly just convenient to live in the city, but I appreciate what the country has to offer too. Do you think you'd like a city at all?
Speaker 1
I used to live in a suburb of DC and I liked some things. I agree, I miss stores and restaurants being open all night. In the small town in the country, there is not much in the way of culture and I miss that. Everything closes on Sunday and town is done at maybe 8pm. 
Speaker 2
Yeah, once you have convenience it's hard to go back. When I go visit my friends in the country we can't even use food delivery services most of the time. I think there are ups and downs to both. Maybe one day I'll hit the lotto and be able to have a city and a country house.
Speaker 1
That would be ideal, to have a city and country house, or a summer and winter home and maybe do Airbnb part of the year. Yeah, we don't even have Uber or Lyft here. The biggest store is Walmart. We can dream about hitting the lotto, yes. That would be awesome. I would buy a bunch of sound equipment and play blues music. 
Speaker 2
That would be amazing! I know that equipment can be SO expensive. But yeah, no ride shares, no Grubhub or Door Dash. But there's a lot more peace and quiet I'll bet.
Speaker 1
Yes, there are pros and cons to country life. We eat really well with fresh produce and get a lot of fresh air. I don't miss the traffic at all. Around DC, it was so bad and it took an hour to go what was a 20 minute trip anywhere else. I love the peace out here. Our town is famous for Silver Queen Sweet Corn. I can travel to the city when I want and live out here though. That's not bad. Would you want to move to a suburb or the country?
Speaker 2
Oh, I think I'd probably like to go full country if I'm going to do it. And I'm ready to not be so close to neighbors

I would like to live in the country.
Speaker 1
I see that the lotto is big this week. Have you bought a ticket yet? This could be your chance.
Speaker 2
Yes, I bought 20 tickets when I saw how big the jackpot had gotten.  I don't think it's possible that I lose!
Speaker 1
Nice! I bought some too. 50 to be exact! My family thinks it's dumb of me to buy so many lol but hey it's worth a shot.
Speaker 2
You can't win if you don't play.  I know that for sure.  Hey, I had a really crazy idea and wanted to hear what you thought about it.
Speaker 1
Exactly! Yeah for sure, what's the crazy idea?? I'm very intrigued.
Speaker 2
So you know how when a jackpot is won by multiple people, they split it evenly with each winner?  So if the prize is $100 million and four people get the winning numbers, each person gets 25% of the jackpot?  Well think about this.  If I bought 20 tickets, all with the same numbers, and won the jackpot with three other people, instead of getting 25% of the jackpot, I'd get 20/23rds of the jackpot instead!  So that's what I did!
Speaker 1
LOL but now you only have one chance of winning! I did different numbers for all of my 50 tickets so I have 50 chances.
Speaker 2
Yeah, both strategies have their pros and cons.  But if I win I want it to be on the news.  They'll say, "There were 23 winners of the jackpot."  And then people will think, "Well that's lame.  Each person takes home such a tiny amount."  But then they'll say, "One insanely brilliant person had 20 winning tickets and is therefore getting the bulk of the jackpot."
Speaker 1
Haha, ok ok that would be pretty funny. How are the kids doing?
Speaker 2
They've been a handful lately.  Some of them have been sick this week.  I got a fever myself.  Actually, for a while I thought I was a bit delirious.  Maybe that factored into my buying 20 lotto tickets with the same numbers.
Speaker 1
Aw that's a bummer. Hopefully they are all feeling a little better this week! And now I completely understand why you bought those tickets now LOL
Speaker 2
Thanks.  Yes, they'll be fine in no time.  They bounce back from just about anything.  And then keep bouncing and bouncing and bouncing.

Speaker 1
I just bought a new iphone yesterday which is too expensive.
Speaker 2
Oh I see. Are you happy with it other than the price?
Speaker 1
I am. I like listening to Blues on it, plus there are apps to help mix music
Speaker 2
I do love that about the iphone, the ability to mix music. Maybe you will win the lotto and that will help pay for the expense of it.
Speaker 1
I'll keep trying! Have you had any luck lately?
Speaker 2
No I haven't! I keep hoping that I will so I can buy my dreamhouse but I know the chances are low.
Speaker 1
Would you move to the city? It'd be too much for me
Speaker 2
I would love to be able to have a country house and a city house to be able to come and go to each one as I please. doesn't that sound like a dream come true?
Speaker 1
It would be convenient for seeing concerts in the city, yes. I'm not used to the business, though
Speaker 2
Yeah I understand that. Have you listened to any new blues songs lately?
Speaker 1
I've started a playlist but haven't had time yet. Any recommendations for female blues performers?
Speaker 2
I always have trouble finding good blues female singers that I like. There are a few I suppose but I think most blues singers are men.
