Speaker 1
I just started a tour with Black Sabbath. I'm excited to see so many different places.
Speaker 2
Where is the first place you are headed? Do you get a lot of free time to explore when you're on tour?
Speaker 1
We're going to be in California for a good amount of time, hitting all the major cities there! Then we head east. And yes, I should have a good amount of time to check out places! How is the job hunt going?
Speaker 2
I have an interview next week. It's entry level at a bank, so it feels a bit soul destroying, but at this point I'll take anything. I'm happy for you though - I know it might be hard but if you can lay off the booze a bit, you might make enough to put a dent in your debt.
Speaker 1
That's great! Hey it's a step in the right direction - maybe you'll love it. Yeah, the good thing is everything is pretty much paid for on the tour. Kind of hard to stay away from the drink when it's everywhere you turn at work lol.
Speaker 2
Yeah, maybe I'll find out that banking where I'm meant to be - my dad's experiences with gambling have made me very careful with money. Have you been working for Black Sabbath long? I didn't think they toured that often, do you work for them even when they're not touring?
Speaker 1
Well Black Sabboth actually had their "final" tour in 2017. But now they're kind of coming back for one more. So this is the first tour I've done in four years! I'm usually just working with their marketing team outside of touring.
Speaker 2
That's awesome that you can work full-time for them. I've known a few other people who work for bands that have to find other jobs when not on tour. It sounds like you have the perfect gig - did you have to have a degree in marketing to score your job?
Speaker 1
Yup I'm pretty lucky to be honest! Yes I do have a marketing degree which was really helpful in helping me get this job...but it's also the reason I'm in so much debt, ha! How are Bounty and Snickers doing??
Speaker 2
They're doing well. They're a little stir-crazy from living in this tiny apartment, but I try to take them out pretty frequently. I'm hoping to afford somewhere with my own yard if I get this job.
Speaker 1
What kind of dogs are they again? 
Speaker 2
Both are medium-sized mutts; I rescued them from a local shelter. Snickers looks like he might have a bit of German Shepherd in him, and Bounty maybe some Golden Lab?

Speaker 1
How are Bounty and Snickers doing in the heatwave? Does your apartment have AC?
Speaker 2
Ugh we are are all struggling! I have AC, but hate to run it because it really increases my ultity bill.
Speaker 1
Oh it can really run it up high this time of year. Do you have any energy efficient air units? 
Speaker 2
No, but I have been meaning to look into that. You guys must have some powerful AC during concerts. It must get really hot on stage.
Speaker 1
Yes we do. I mean it can get unbelievably hot up here. Even with the AC going full blast it still can be steaming. It's all worth it though to perform. You kind of build a tolerance to it of sorts.
Speaker 2
What a cool gig you have. Tell me more about ozzy!
Speaker 1
As wild as you think he is, he's even more wild than that. That guy is crazy but is ultra cool to hang out with and get to know.  We aren't close friends but I know him well. Maybe I can help you meet him one day.
Speaker 2
I would love that! In the meantime, I will settle for an autograph!
Speaker 1
I'll see what I can do for you then! Any luck in searching for jobs lately?
Speaker 2
Nothing besides the bank next week. Pray for me!
Speaker 1
Oh right that is next week? My bad I forgot you told me that. I'll be praying for you and wishing you good luck. Just stay calm and you'll nail that interview.
Speaker 2
I hope so. I am in big trouble if this doesn't work out.

I am heading out to an AA meeting now. Do you want to practice some questions for your bank interview when I get back?

Yes that would be super super helpful. Thank you for offering! I really need this job. You excited for your meeting?
Speaker 1
I always look forward to meetings. They keep me on the straight and narrow.
Speaker 2
That's good. Does anything else help keep you off the booze?
Speaker 1
Just keeping busy. I get into trouble when I am bored!
Speaker 2
Ha, I understand that. I've just been so bored lately too without a job. I need something to keep me sane.
Speaker 1
Do you want me to see if there are any open spots on the tour? I know they are always looking for extra help.
Speaker 2
If I don't get this banking job... then YES! That would be really awesome. I still hope I get the banking job because the pay and benefits are supposedly good. But if not, I'd be willing to give touring a shot for sure. 
Speaker 1
It is a wild ride, but certainly has to be more interesting than wearing a suit in an office all day!
Speaker 2
Yeah I bet. Seems like a super exciting and unique job for sure. Hanging out with Ozzy doesn't sound too bad lol
Speaker 1
He is such a cool guy. What a life he has lived!
Speaker 2
Right?! I would love to pick his brain but I'm sure he has way too many stories to tell. I'd be happy with just an autograph!

Did you search any job provided website?

yeah i've been checking out loads of job websites, I hope that I'll get some more interviews soon
Speaker 1
I am sure you will! I bet there's plenty of banking jobs out there, you just need to keep looking and soon something will come your way!
Speaker 2
thanks! you're right I need to just keep trying. How have you been enjoying work lately, have black sabbath been performing?
Speaker 1
Work is really good! They haven't been performing much lately so I've been more focused on the marketing aspect, but we are trying to organize a tour! 
Speaker 2
do you know where the next tour will be?
Speaker 1
Well right now we are working on setting up stops in U.S. cities, and once we're done with that, we will gauge interest in other countries and try to set up a world tour.
Speaker 2
that sounds amazing, you're so lucky that you get to travel so much with your job! Where's your favourite place that you've been for work?
Speaker 1
I don't know if I could pick one place, but something I really enjoy is trying the local foods from whatever city we are in. I love steak and chicken, and it seems like every major city and region has its own take on them. Like Philly is famous for cheese steaks, and Buffalo is famous for their chicken wings, so it's really fun trying all the local delicacies.
Speaker 2
I bet you'll find some even more exciting variations once you leave the US! Do you get a lot of time to explore the city you're in when you're travelling?
Speaker 1
Sometimes, we try not to set up concerts too close to each other. That way we aren't stressed out about making flights and packing up everything fast enough, and so we can all rest a little bit in between shows. We usually have at least a night to hang out in whatever city we are in.. 
Speaker 2
that's cool, I'm jealous that you're getting to see so much of the world! How long does it take to pack up after a concert?
