Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


I just watched chopped for 3 hours straight. The baskets were hard in some of them.

Yes, the baskets are hard. The contestants have to choose a dish that is both challenging and delicious.

What are the criteria for choosing dishes on Chopped?


Baskets? I don't know anything about this show. Is it something about cooking?


Yes it is. Chefs have a basket with 4 mystery ingredients. They compete to make the best meal from the ingredients.

That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure the chefs are very talented.

What is the concept of the TV show "Chopped"?


It sounds like quite a challenge! Do you watch every episode? Have you tried to make the dishes yourself?


Yes, I agree. Some of the ingredients I've never heard of. I try to watch as many as I can, but not all. I only imagine what I would make. I have never tried by myself.

Well, maybe you should give it a try sometime! It would be fun to see what you can come up with.

What are some common ingredients used on the TV show "Chopped"?


I think it would be a big challenge to do what Chefs on the program do. Is there a type of cuisine that they normally feature? Or it it cuisine from around the world?


Yes, i forgot to mention there is also only a 20 or thirty minute time limit, depending on the round. The cuisine is from around the world. Fine dining to street style.

That's so cool! I would love to try some of the dishes on the show. Do you have any recommendations?

What are some popular dishes featured on Chopped?


That sounds interesting! I bet the show is pretty popular with foodies! Do you consider yourself a foodie?


Yes, it really is. I enjoy that there is no story line, so anyone can start watching and not feel like they missed an important part of the plot. Yes, it is a foodie favorite. I am a foodie, yes. But I'm also picky.


All true foodies are picky. Do you like to cook in general, or do you prefer to go to restaurants?


Both. I like to cook because I think it is an important skill to have. But I also love eating out. I don't have to do dishes or think of a meal.


What is your favorite Tom Hanks movie of them all?

That's a tough question, but I think my favorite Tom Hanks movie is Forrest Gump.

"What are some other popular Tom Hanks movies?"


My favorite has to be when he played Woody in Toy Story 2! Which one is your go-to?


That is a good one. You know I completely forgot he was the voice in that movie. He has to have one of the most memorable voices by any actor in the last 2 to 3 decades

Yes, he is a very talented actor. i am sure you will enjoy his other movies as well.


Absolutely, his work is amazing. Have you watched A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood? It came out in 2019 ands won 2 Oscars though he deserved many more.


You know I don't think I've watched that one yet. I've seen trailers but it's hard to believe there aren't household movies that have won oscars. How many total oscars foes he have?

He has won 12 oscars. i think he is one of the most talented actors in the world.


I believe it's something up there like 50, thought I'm not sure. He has too many to count. I know he won 6 for Forrest Gump. Were you aware Tom has an asteroid named after him? That's the level of success we all want.


There so many memorable moments in his films too. I know we can all think of a movie by him and pick out our favorite moment. Which is your favorite Forrest Gump moment?

Oh, that's tough. I think it would have to be when he first arrives at the island and he's just soaking up the sun and enjoying the view.

What are some memorable moments in the movie Forrest Gump?


Definitely the conversation he had with Jenny at the bus stop. Everyone knows the saying mama used to say ''Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get''. How many times have you watched Forrest Gump? It's a classic for sure.


I can't even count the amount of times I've seen it. It is so good. Just feel good all around. Do you think there is a role out there that Tom Hanks wouldn't be able to play?

Oh absolutely not! He is one of the most versatile actors out there. He can play anything from a serious role to a lighthearted one. He is just so versatile and talented.

What are some of Tom Hanks' most versatile and challenging roles?


Absolutely not he's very well adaptable and all his roles have been so versatile. He's played everything from a captain to a disabled man.


Arizona seems like a nice place to live.


it is GREAT - warm and dry!

I've always wanted to visit Arizona. It looks like a beautiful state.

What are some popular attractions in Arizona?


I've heard it's got some great landmarks too. Have you seen the sandstone towers at that national park?


I have not but I want to go.  I love our national parks!

Yeah, me too. I've been meaning to go there for a while now. Maybe we can go together sometime?

What are some notable sandstone towers in national parks?


I've never been, but just from photos the Grand Canyon looks magnificent.


yes it is to say the least.  I just bought my first house - very exciting....

"What are some other landmarks in Arizona besides the Grand Canyon?"


You must be very proud to be a homeowner. Have you decorated yet?


I have not - a daunting task.   Just getting moved in now - a little bungalow BUT close to downtown!

That sounds perfect. I'm sure you'll love it there.

"Decorating tips for a small bungalow in downtown Arizona"


A bungalow is a great option, plenty of space to decorate and really make it your own.


exactly my thoughts as well!

Have you heard of the 5x5 program? It's setup to help you achieve strength and muscle mass utilizing 3 main exercises over 5x5 repetitions..


oh no, I have not heard about it, do they have an app?

Yes, they do. You can download it from the app store.


I am unsure, but it's easy to lookup.  It was made popular on The Strongest Shall Survive with Bill Starr.


Wow, I am new to the fitness world, only been working out for about 2 months now. I will look it up just now

I'm glad you're interested in learning more about fitness. it's great to have the motivation to work out and get in shape.

"What is The Strongest Shall Survive with Bill Starr and how does it relate to the 5x5 program?"


How many gym outfits have you bought? It's important to wear the right material while working out.  They all have pros and cons. For example cotton wins the whiff test over polyester.  But cotton absorbs more moisture so you feel sweatier working out.


I have so far gotten 10 outfits, it saves me from doing laundry often. I have a mixture of material but mostly polyester because of the sweat issue. Do you go to the gym too?

Yeah, i go to the gym 3 times a week. i am trying to get stronger and build muscle mass.

"What is the 5x5 program for building muscle mass?"


I workout from home, not much going to the gym these days.  Polyester is great for comfort and mobility.  Nylon is considered the best fabric for high impact workouts, it is moisture wicking and helps you stay dry.  Do you have a favorite exercise?


What are your favorite books by Steven Pressfield?


I really liked the Profession, the way he integrated the past and future was so cool.


Would you consider his writing to be science-fiction?


I think that book would fall under science fiction but not all of them which is part of why I like him so much it covers many genres.

What do you think makes his writing so special?

What makes Steven Pressfield's writing special?

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. steven pressfield is a great author.

What other books has Steven Pressfield written?


Have you heard him on a podcast?


That is one thing I have not done. Have you heard him on podcast?  Do you recommend one?

I would recommend the podcast "The Purpose Driven Life" if you are interested in hearing him talk about his writing.

What is "The Purpose Driven Life" podcast and how does it feature Steven Pressfield's writing?


I have not heard the podcast personally, but I know he does one with Tim Grahl on how to slay your creative dragons.


That would be very insightful I think.  Especially for someone looking to start writing.


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


I am a fan of Dylan Thomas' poetry. I love the structure, the imagery, and the metaphors.

Yes, Dylan Thomas is a great poet. His work is very beautiful and moving.

What are some notable works of Dylan Thomas?


Do you have a favorite poem that he has written?


Yes..."Lament".

What is the meaning behind Dylan Thomas' poem "Lament"?


I think Lament is the one that chronicles his life.  Didn't he die young?


Yes. He died in 1953, the same year I was born. He died at the age of 39.

That's so sad. I can't imagine how his family must have felt.

What is the background and life story of Dylan Thomas?


I read that they originally thought that he died from drinking too  much but later they discovered he might have had pneumonia. A tragedy either way.


Yes, and it's easy to die of aspiration pneumonia if one is drunk! It was a real tragedy!!!

I think that Dylan Thomas' poetry is really beautiful and moving. I'm sure you will continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

What are some notable aspects of Dylan Thomas' poetry?


John Keats also died young, he was only 26


That's an unfortunate theme with creative people; Franz Schubert was only 32.

Yes, it is. But I think that it's important to remember that they lived such full lives and made such a difference in the world.

What impact did Dylan Thomas have on the literary world?


Do you have any other Dylan Thomas poems that you like?


Lots of them: "A Winter's Tale", "If I Were Tickled By the Rub of Love", to name a couple.


I have heard of a winters tale, it is beautiful

What are some nut-free and low sugar chocolate varieties available in premium sections of stores?


Yes they provided so many options like low carb and low sugar chocolate boxes


Very tempting, but I still love to impulse buy my favourite bar at the checkout and eat it on my drive home.

I understand that you like to indulge in your favourite foods, but it is important to be mindful of your health.

What are some healthy chocolate options for impulse buying?


Thats good. Is it healthy as compared to other chocolates? Can I tell you the one fun fact that oh Henry chocolate is considered as a candy because of different standards of chocolates in canada.


It is definitely not a healthy option, but I like to treat myself from time to time. That is interesting about chocolate standards, I did not know that.

Yes it is interesting. i think it is good to indulge in a little bit of luxury every now and then.

What are the health benefits of premium chocolate?


Okay there are so many fun facts related to chocolates like sales of chocolate in 2014 was $ 21.1 billion dollars.

Have you ever been to any of the state parks?

No, I haven't. I've always wanted to visit one though.

"What are some popular state parks to visit?"


Which state parks interest you?  I enjoy unlimited access to the natural beauty in every state.


I really like Yellowstone but agree that there are many parks in each state to see.

Yellowstone is a great choice. it's one of the most popular state parks in the country. there are many other great parks in the country as well.

"What are some other great state parks in the country?"


An annual pass to the federal park system is a good value if you like to travel.


Yes, we got one a couple of years ago. Do you have a favorite place to go?

I really enjoy going to the mountains. there are so many different trails to explore and the views are breathtaking.

What are some popular state parks in the mountains with scenic trails and breathtaking views?


I enjoy seeing the prairie dogs in Theodor Roosevelt park.  Do you like prairie dog watching?


I love them and have quite a few photos from my various trips. Guess I should check that park out on my next trip.

It's a great place to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

"What are some state parks in North Dakota with prairie dogs?"


The Colorado Parks system has openings for volunteers in the raptor monitoring program.  It is an amazing experience to watch such a creature.


Wow, that would be a unique experience! Thanks for the information.

You're welcome. enjoy your time at the state parks!

How can I become a volunteer in Colorado Parks raptor monitoring program?


If you have ever been to the Main Coastal Islands National Wildlife refuge you might have seen an Atlantic puffin.  They are funny looking fellows.


I've seen pictures of puffins, adorable. I look forward to heading up to that area this year. You really have some great ideas for me, thanks.


I don't know if I was born to kill plants, or if I just need a little help to give them a fighting chance to survive at my house.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your plants. it's good that you are trying to help them out. i'm sure they appreciate it.

"How can I improve the survival rate of my house plants?"


I hear you, have you tried to plant, plants that are death proof? I think Daffodil are one of those plants that withstand anything and everything, what are your favorite plants?


I tried to take care of bamboo. I THOUGHT it was death proof...BUT, I proved the experts wrong. I like roses, bamboo, and simple green house plants. Do you garden?

Yes, i love gardening. it's a great way to relax and get some exercise. i also like to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

What are some easy to care for plants that are almost indestructible?


How is the weather where you live? do you think thats an elements that is playing into killing your plants, roses are beautiful but high maintance. what about your vegetables killed all? Have you tried to plant in doors? crazy idea, but maybe that can help? A green house sounds nice too. I believe temperatures are a huge factor, I am sure its not just you , ha ha.


Thanks for the vote of confidence. Where I live, Detroit, there's plenty of warm weather, but the winters are brutal. I don't think I have the patience for roses. Yes, they are truly high maintenance. All vegetables: dead. Maybe inside gardening IS the key.

I think that's a great idea! you can plant your plants in a pot and then put them in a pot with a potted plant.

"What are some tips for indoor gardening in cold climates?"


I believe so too! specially during winters, you can keep your vegetable/plant garden away from harsh temperatures. maybe you have a room that you can turn into a green room.  You can add shelves on to your walls and add more plants, freeing more floor space. what do you think?


WALL GROWING! PERFECT! I never considered that. You have wonderful ideas. The convenience of having a dedicated growing room would be good for me and my family.

Great! i'm glad i could help. i'm sure you'll be able to grow your plants and have a beautiful garden.

"How to set up a green room for indoor gardening?"


You know what else you can add that I just thought of, an upside down garden or vegetables, I believe tomatoes, cucumbers, and even beans can be grown this way. it would add a interesting element to your green room.


You know, I have seen that type of growing before. I do like to decorate with things that are a bit different, so this could do double duty. Thanks!


it will for sure be an investment, you need the proper lighting, prepare the walls, ect. but at least you will save as you dont have to continue buying plants that keep dying. The added benefit of having a organic air purifier is always a plus. Are you think of a small room or large room?


Hey there. I heard your favorite book is Pride & Prejudice. The original title of the book was supposed to be "First Impressions".


Yes! I'm glad Austen changed the title, though. Pride & Prejudice is more appropriate for the contents of the book.

I agree. It's a classic romance novel that has stood the test of time. What do you think makes it so special?

"What makes Pride & Prejudice a classic romance novel?"


One of Austen's favorite novel is Fanny Burney's Cecilla. She actually got the title Pride & Prejudice from Cecilla as the phrase was used three times in the book.


I read Cecilia once just because I knew Austen enjoyed it.

It's a great book! You should read it again sometime.

"What is Fanny Burney's Cecilia and how did Jane Austen use it in Pride & Prejudice?"


Austen finished the novel in 1797 but it took 16 years for it to get published. When it did get published, Austen had to do it anonymously as professional female writers were controversial.


What is your favorite brand of bass? That's the electric bass, right?


Yes.  My favorite would be Fender.  I have a Jazz Bass and a Precision Bass.

I've never played a Fender bass before. What do you like about them?

"What are the unique features of Fender basses?"


Oh, is that called a P-Bass? Wasn't there a musician who made it famous? A funk player?


Yes it is called a P-Bass.  I think Flea uses it from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I've never heard of him. I'm not really into funk music.

Who is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers and what bass does he use?


I was thining of one of those bands like Parliament. So what kind of music do you play?


I like progressive rock like Rush, Geddy Lee is my favorite player.  I also like Les Claypool from Primus.

That's cool. I've never really been into that kind of music, but I can appreciate it. Do you have any other hobbies?

What are the best bass guitar brands for progressive rock music?


Does he play a P-bass? I imagine that a player of that stature would have his own line of basses.


No Geddy Lee plays a Jazz Bass.  He actually has his own signature Fender, which I happen to own. Lol

That's really cool. I've always wanted to play an electric bass but I've never had the chance.

"What is Geddy Lee's signature Fender bass?"


Ok, you're a fan! LOL. It was sad to hear that their drummer died. Rush fans all over the world were devastated.


Yes it happened in January 2020.  I was devastated myself.  He was an amazing musician.


Chris Pratt's highest rated movie The LEGO Movie!


I loved the original lego movie I thought it was so creative have you seen it?

Yes, i have seen it. it is a great movie.

"What are some creative elements in The LEGO Movie?"


Yes, great movie. I loved Phil Lord's screenplay.


Yes the creativity that they came up with was amazing, I wish the second one would have been equally as creative instead of just a continuation.

I agree, the second movie was a bit of a letdown. But overall, I thought it was a great movie.

What were some criticisms of The LEGO Movie 2?


Emmet was really the best part for me.


Yes, the comedy from his role was perfect, it added to the story instead of taking away.

I also loved the ending, it was so unexpected.

What was the inspiration behind The LEGO Movie?


His relationship with Wyldstyle was pretty awesome.


Yes, another example of the great writing how they created that relationship.

I'm so glad you like the movie, it's one of my favorites.

How was the relationship between Emmet and Wyldstyle portrayed in The LEGO Movie?


Chris Pratt is also going to be in Jurassic World 3, which I think will be super awesome.


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


I love the story and art direction

What are some tips for creating a compelling story and art direction in media?


Yes, it's very clever to have the brilliant minds at NASA be smart enough to know they have to reach out to the right people for the job: the oil rig operator and deep sea driller and his crew. So much more interesting than just having astronauts do the job!


Yes. I recently watched Deep Impact which came out the same summer and its production value is not even close to that of Armageddon

I agree, i think that the film is a great example of how to make a movie that is both entertaining and educational.

"What was the role of NASA in the movie Armageddon?"


Audiences thought so, too. Armageddon came out around three months after Deep Impact and did better than Deep Impact at the box office, and wound up being the top grossing movie of 1998. It even did better than Saving Private Ryan, the Steven Spielberg film starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.


It has even been included in the Criterion Collection.

That's right, it is! It's one of those rare films that people can watch over and over again and still find new things to appreciate about it.

What are some interesting facts about the movie Armageddon?


Right, it's #40 in the Criterion Collection. Peter Becker from Criterion defends the movie as being great enough to belong in their collection of quality films.


I don't know why people think it is so hollywood. It is a artistic film

What are the criteria for a movie to be included in the Criterion Collection?


Yes, the critics may have preferred Deep Impact, but audiences went with Armageddon. And film scholar Jeanine Basinger from Wesleyan University praises the film as a work of art by a cutting-edge artist, a master of movement, light, color and shape. It is definitely artistic!


have you ever been shot by a paintball?


No, but I could imagine it probably hurts!


yes it does, especially if the paintballs are frozen!

That would be really painful! I'm glad you're not injured.

How to prevent paintballs from freezing during paintball games?


Frozen? I didn't even know you could freeze them! What would you compare the feeling to? I've heard a lot of people will sprain their ankles or strain a muscle while out playing!


i would equate it to a pretty bad wasp sting.  yeah i have definitely sprained an ankle out there.

That sounds really painful! i'm glad you're okay though. i'm sure a lot of people would be upset if they got injured while playing paintball.

"What are common injuries from playing paintball?"


How long was the recovery process? Many of my teammates have sprained their ankles and were out for the rest of the season! It's just one of those risks you take doing something you love!


it took a good month to recovery.  what kind of team are you on?

We're a competitive team and we practice every week. We're hoping to make it to the playoffs this year!

"What is the typical recovery time for a sprained ankle from paintball?"


Soccer, been playing since I was two. Paintball is one of those underestimated sports like cheerleading.  Do you play any other sports?


i play some esports, but many people dont really consider that a sport.

esports are a lot of fun, but i think paintball is more fun. it's a great way to stay active and have fun with friends.

"What are the benefits of playing paintball?"


People will judge anything! If you're having fun that's what matters! Do you watch the League Of Legends Championships?


I have never heard of Mario Party. Is this a game by Nintendo?


Yes! It is on Nintendo Wii. It is a virtual board game. You get to hit a block to decide how far you go and there are like mini battles and stuff.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I might have to check it out. Do you have any other favorite Nintendo games?

What are some other popular Nintendo games?


So it's a board game as a video game. Interesting. You don't explore a world like Mario Bros.


Nope. You select a map, which is like a board game. Then you jump to hit a dice. You go that many places. You can buy candy to use during your turns, or earn it. The candy kind of has the same idea as the special squares on Mario Kart. Then you can also land on different colored spaces and they each mean different things. At the end of each turn, there is a mini game to see who can win extra coins.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I might have to check it out sometime. Thanks for telling me about it!

What are the different types of candy in Mario Party and what effects do they have?


Usually Nintendo games are designed really well. Is this a game meant for older players? Usually the Mario games are "twitch" games for 12 year olds. (Not Twitch the web site)


It can have up to 4 players at a time. You either play with 3 computers or other people. A


I think you got cut off. That's ok. 4 player games are great for parties. Adults probably prefer something a little less intense.


I was going to say that adults and children both enjoy the experience. I know families that play it on family night!

That sounds like fun. i'm sure your kids enjoy it too.

"What are some popular multiplayer games that both adults and children can enjoy?"


That's great. Usually the parents have been sidelined by video games because the kids were either too practiced or the game was too fast. Arcade games are fun when you're young. Dominoes and such when you're older.


Haha right! no, it is not fast at all. It moves along like a board game and the mini games are really fun. There is cleaning, painting, tightrope, jumprope, and so many other things to do to earn coins.


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


Who is the director of that movie?


George Miller! I believe he was involved in the 1979 original and the 2015 remake. Do you like the new one or the old one more?


of course the latest one. What do you think?


Yeah it's good, entertaining. Most times the remake isnt better than the original, but in this case I think it was. What do you like most about it?


The plot is really engaging.

What makes the plot of Mad Max engaging?


Some people think that it is a bad movie, but I really loved the non-CGI stunts a lot. What about the plot do you like?


Wait. What is non-CGI?

It's when the actors are using real stunts and weapons instead of computer generated ones.


Basically when they act it out for real, without the use of CGI. SO actors do their own stunts and things like that


It seems like you are a real person instead of a machine.


I am real. Are you?


I am. I am just wondering if one day the world will become like the movie mad max.

What is the likelihood of the world becoming like the movie Mad Max?


Have you tried Skillet fried chicken? It's the best!


I agree! Have you ever fried anything else in it before?

No, just chicken. But I'm definitely going to try it again. It's so good!

"What are some other foods that can be fried in a skillet?"


I've had a handful of things like chicken noodles, ratatouille and ribeye with bok choy! Skillets are a great tool in the kitchen once you learn how to properly care for it.


I always have to condition it with oil after I am done cleaning it. I also use it for camping!

"How to properly care for a skillet frying pan?"


That's a great idea never thought to take it camping! Is it hard to season or cure it while out camping? I could imagine the pros and cons.


They say you can use dirt to clean it, and then rise it out! I have never tried it but it sounds gross! I think I would just use oil after using it. The hardest thing to clean though is burnt eggs.

Yeah, burnt eggs are definitely not fun. i'm glad you're able to use your skillet for so many things!

How to season a cast iron skillet while camping?


I haven't heard of dirt on a skillet yet but I have heard using a baked potato works! Nothing like some burnt eggs to really wake you up in the morning, though! If not the taste the smell, haha.


I also use it to cook sugared almonds. 1 cup of roasted almonds, a pinch of salt and some cinnamon. Let it crystalize and it's wonderful! It's just like the state fair !


They sale them at my local Cabela's! I might just have to give it a go and see if I can perfect it!


If you get it right they are amazing! I always wonder about how they don't make that classic skillet shape with stainless steel. I heard because the mold wouldn't hold.


It also makes things like sauces easier to transfer. I would like a bigger skillet but I haven't looked into finding one yet. They're hard to come across in my area!


They are heavy! My roommate has a hard time cleaning it. We had an old relative visit and she couldn't lift to clean it. To be fair though it was a jumbo size one


Titanic is really a great achievement in film. It's no surprise that James Cameron won the Oscar for best director for his masterful work. It also won for art direction, cinematography and best original song.


It is a great movie. Made all the more interesting because it was based an actual event. All the movies I have seen by him have been excellent. What other movies have you seen by him do you like?

I have seen a few of his other movies and I really enjoyed them. I especially liked The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump.

What are the other movies directed by James Cameron?


Almost all of them, I believe. I've seen The Abyss, which was very good. I think Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of the best sequels ever, as well as a great film. Switching the villain to a hero and introducing a new villain was a master stroke.


I have not seen the Abyss but I have seen all the terminators and terminator 1 and 2 are both master pieces in my opinion. Loved all the action and the special effects in terminator 2 was so cool! I have seen all the terminator films and the titanic movies many times, because I love them so much. What's the Abyss about?

It's about a group of scientists who are sent to investigate a giant asteroid that has sunk into the ocean.


A spaceship is discovered at the bottom of the ocean, hidden under 300 years worth of coral reef. The movie has special effects which are an early version of the liquid metal in T2, with "water-based" alien creatures and underwater sequences that are amazing to see.


Sounds cool, another movie by James Cameron that I love is Avator. The special effects were amazing. Have you seen it? Did you enjoy it?

Yes, I saw Avator and I loved it! The special effects were incredible and the story was really interesting. It's definitely one of my favorite James Cameron movies.

What other movies has James Cameron directed besides Avatar?


Yes, the whole world of Pandora was like nothing ever on film. Cameron always blows audiences away with his visual wizardry. And there's still so much yet to see, with four sequels planned that are standalone films that also connect to a larger narrative. They're all widely anticipated!


I also think with the titanic I felt like it mirrors the world today. How rich people usually have advantages over poor people. And big companies take advantage of this by paying low wages so, that they can increase there profit. What is your opinion in regards to this?

I think that's a really interesting interpretation. I hadn't thought of it that way before, but you're right, it does reflect the world today.

What is the underlying social commentary in the movie Titanic?


Yes, it is definitely touching on something relevant in the way it explores the social disparities between Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack character and Kate Winslet's Rose. The film never shies away from the divide separating them and draws a lot of drama from that conflict. From start to finish, Titanic manages to make social commentary even as it's delivering a great dramatic story.


Yes, it does. I think the social disparities made it interesting. And seeing their love unfold was very romantic. I actually cried at the end once I saw that he didn't survive. I was glad Rose went on to live a full life and didn't go back to the rich finance who I feel was very controlling. She would have been miserable.

Yes, I agree. It's a great movie all around.

What social disparities are explored in Titanic?


Yes, a lot of people argued that Jack shouldn't have died, and that there was room on that floating piece of wood. There may have been enough room, but would it have been strong enough? Would they have floated with two people on it? Probably not. So it's sad that Jack dies, but it's truthful to the reality of the story.


I think it made it more realistic because most of the people died on original Titanic.

Exactly! And I think that's why the movie is so popular. It feels like a timeless story that everyone can relate to, no matter when they saw it.

"Did Jack have to die in Titanic? Was there enough room on the floating door for two people?"


Yes, more than 1500 passengers and crew perished. A true tragedy. There's no way for a filmmaker to sugarcoat that, but a lesser director might have tried!


You're a basketball fan. Are you a Bulls fan? Have they been doing well recently? Who is your favorite player?


yes i love the bulls!  they are not doing great this year.  my favorite player of all time is Scottie Pippen.

I'm not sure i understand what you're saying. why do you like the bulls?

"Why do people like the Chicago Bulls basketball team?"


Scottie Pippen...did he retire years ago?


yes he did, he played with the bulls during their dynasty years


You liked him more than MJ? Interesting. What did you like about him? He was probably a great teammate for MJ.


he was a really good teammate, and i've felt that he was so overshadowed, but such a good player.

I agree, i think he was a great player. i'm sure he's still a great player today.

"What were Scottie Pippen's strengths as a basketball player?"


I wonder how he would have done on another team. Sometimes two players sync well in their styles. Whole greater than the sum of the parts sort of thing.


wow, i was just thinking about that saying the other day at work!  funny timiing.

It's nice to have someone to talk to about sports. i'm glad you're a fan of the bulls.

"How did Scottie Pippen perform on other teams besides the Bulls?"


There has been talk about greatest team ever. People compare GSW and the Bulls. Probably also Lakers with Magic and Boston with Byrd.

is there a better film the in the mood for love

I'm not sure, what do you like about it?

What are some films similar to "In the Mood for Love"?


That is a well respected movie with 46 award wins from 50 nomination. what do you like about it?


the story, the music, the acting, the camera, everything

It's great that you like the movie. it's good to be able to share your thoughts about movies with others.

"What are the critical reception and reviews of the movie 'In the Mood for Love'?"


Great. Music can make or break a movie. people forget that movies had music before they had voices. it can set the mood, or convey story beyond the acting.


interesting. I forgot about that

I'm glad you enjoy the film. i hope you find many more films that you like.

What is the significance of music in film?


In the Mood for Love is a great film. He has made 10 films in the last 30 years. Which other ones do you like?


I am a huge fan of Chung king express. I think that is Tarantion's favourite

It is a great film. i think you are right that it is his favourite. it is a great film.

What other films has the director of In the Mood for Love made?


That is a critical favorite. the characters are well developed, and the visuals are very distinctive. good choice. do you like any other genres of film?


I like all film. But innovative film is always best. Have you seen anything innovative lately?


The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. it plays with time and space while focusing on the relationship between people stuck in a time loop.


Thanks! just googled it. looks interesting and I'm always a sucker for a good romance

What is the concept of time loop in movies and how is it used in The Map of Tiny Perfect Things?


Same here. Love has started more fights, feuds, and wars. it is great material for making movies.


have you seen eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?

No, but I've heard good things about it. Is it good?

Is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a good movie?


yes. talk about a movie that makes you think. the emotional center of that movie, the love story, is the only thing that pulls it together.


how about Casablanca? classic. love


I'm not too familiar with David Essex's Rock On. Tell me something about the song.


It has a unique bass line. The lyrics speak to me. It is a classic rock song from 1973

"What is the meaning behind the lyrics in David Essex's Rock On?"


I'm a big fan of unique basslines. What's your second favorite David Essex song?


Hold Me Close is another one I enjoy. But it is not as good. Do you like classic rock?


Yeah, I do. The '70s were the best era for that genre. Is David Essex the singer or does he play an instrument?


He was a singer/song writer only. I am sure I saw him playing guitar a couple of times, but it might just be my old mind playing tricks. He was well known for his voice.

I think that's what makes him so great. He had a great voice. Did he ever tour?


I'll make sure to stream his 'All The Fun Of The Fair' album later. Are there any live performances of his that I should check out?


He has a few that are on Youtube, but he reached the UK top 40 with 19 songs, so a lot of his life performances are on tour in that part of the world. Most of them do not have great quality because they are either very old, or newer with people filming with cell phones.

That's a shame. I'll have to look for some of those. Thanks for the recommendation.

What are some of David Essex's most popular songs that reached the UK top 40?


His Legends tour was in 2019. Do you think he'll tour again and play "Rock On"?


I don't know if he will. He is 73 years old now! He might decide after all of his hard work to just relax a bit haha.


Have you ever been to the Whiting Lakefront Park and Beach in Indiana?


No, unfortunately I was not! How is the beach like in that place? Is beautiful? What do you like most?

The beach is really pretty and it's a great place to relax. I like that it's close to the city, so there's always something to do.

What are the nearby attractions to Whiting Lakefront Park and Beach in Indiana?


It has a beautiful beach and there is also a water park, plus a boardwalk, and areas for fishing and picnics. I think you would enjoy it. I don't think it is too far from where you live.


From what you tell me I understand that it is a wonderful place. Lots of places to do fun activities. I would definitely love this beach. I'm from Europe, from Italy.

Oh, wow! Italy is a beautiful country. I've always wanted to visit there. What's it like?


Oh so you prefer a Mediterranean climate. When did you move to the states?


A few months ago. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the ocean, but I promise I'll do it soon. Yes, the beaches of the Mediterranean are also very beautiful.


What part of Italy are you from? Did you move here for work?


I'm from Trieste, a city on the Adriatic Sea near the border with Slovenia. Yes, I came here for work.

That sounds like a great place to live. I'm sure you miss it a lot.

What are some attractions at Whiting Lakefront Park and Beach?


Wow, that is an ancient city, dating all the way back to Julius Caesar's time. America is a very new country in comparison.


That's right, in Trieste there are still vestiges of the Roman empire. It is a city with a lot of history. America also has its charm and a diverse, modern culture.


It's getting pretty close to summer. What is the weather usually like in Washington DC during the summer months?


It is very hot and humid


That sounds awesome! Summers should be hot and humid. Do you like hot, humid weather?


Yes very much. Some people hates it but I love it. I gives me the feel of sticky summer

I'm glad you enjoy the weather! it's great to enjoy the summer weather.

"What is the typical summer weather like in Washington DC?"


I hear that there are lots of cool things to do in Washington DC in the summer. I would love to catch the 4th of July fireworks show there.


For sure, it is amazing . Also, I like the tour to the whitehouse too.

Yeah, I've always wanted to go on a tour of the whitehouse. Maybe one day I'll get to do that.

What are some popular tourist attractions in Washington DC during the summer?


Yes, it is an amazing place. I got to se the East Wing and the State Dining Room during a tour I took. The Rose Garden was beautiful!


I agreed totally. Have you visited the Pentagon too. I am very impressed by the Lincoln statue and also the Lincoln centre for performing arts

Washington DC summer activities/tourist attractions

Yes, I have visited both of those places. The Lincoln statue is really impressive and the Lincoln centre is a great place to see live performances.

"What are some other tourist attractions in Washington DC during the summer?"


I have not been to the Pentagon, but the Lincoln Memorial was awe inspiring! Henry Bacon had such an amazing vision for where he wanted to put it, and Daniel Chester French did a great job in sculpting the memorial, itself.


Too bad in the summer the whole Washington D.C. is full of tourists. Not just from US but international too. It is a big tourist attraction

Who designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.?


I hear that the best time to visit is in the fall when the tourists are gone and the leaves are beginning to change color. I'll bet that is a beautiful sight!


Reckless Kelly is amazing! What's your favorite song?


It's a little older song but I love wicked twisted road.  It was one of my favorites right off the bat.

I can see why! The lyrics are so powerful and the melody is just beautiful. I also love the way she sings about heartbreak and loss. It's so relatable.

"What are the lyrics to 'Wicked Twisted Road' by Reckless Kelly?"


That's definitely one of their best songs to date! I just found out they came from Bend Oregon? I had no idea Willy and Cody were brothers.


Yes, his brothers band is actually quite good as well have you heard them?  Mickey and the Motorcars?

No, I haven't but I'll have to check them out! So what do you think of Reckless Kelly overall?

"What is the overall reputation of Reckless Kelly in the music industry?"


I haven't! Which first song would you recommend?


I definitely think Carolina morning is one of their best songs.

I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation.

"What are some of the best songs by Carolina Morning?"


Are there any other country bands you like? Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton are pretty good if you don't mind the more modern sound.


I do like some of the more modern bands I like Florida Georgia Line if you have heard of them.

Yeah, I've heard of them! They're really good!

What are some popular modern country bands besides Florida Georgia Line?


Of course! Cruise is a 2012 classic, haha. They're performing soon, I believe in Ashburn.


I hope that more bands start performing live again it has been rough not being able to go hear live music.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's really sad that so many bands are struggling right now. Hopefully things will start to turn around soon.

"Upcoming country music band performances in Ashburn"


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


My favorite song is See you again, and the reason is that it related to my current situation deeply.

I'm sorry to hear that. what is your current situation?

What is the meaning behind the lyrics of "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa?


Is that the one featuring Charlie Puth?


Exactly! Do you like the song?

Hahahaahahaha. Do you when could we finish the conversation and submit it?


Pee Wee Herman made a bunch of pics. Which one is your favorite?


the first one, his big adventure.  have you seen them all?

No, I haven't. I've only seen the first one.

What are the other movies Pee Wee Herman made besides "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"?


No, I don't really know the movies. Is the first one the best one?


in my opinion it is.  have you watched his tv show?

"Is Pee Wee Herman's TV show worth watching?"


Oh, yeah. There was a Saturday morning show for kids, right? I haven't seen it. You also work at the world's busiest airport.Is that Atlanta?


Yes it was a kids show, that's how it became one of my favorite movies, reminds me of being a kid.  No, Atlanta is up there, but Chicago O'hare is the busiest.


Chicago. That makes sense. I know it's a hub for United. Any other airlines have a hub there?


I don't believe it is considered a hub, but American has a pretty large presence here.

Yeah, I've heard that. I'm not really sure what all the other airlines are.

What other airlines have a presence in Chicago besides United and American?


I like O'Hare. It's big but the people working there are friendly and professional. I've gone through New York airports. I prefer Chicago.


that's great to hear.  i kind of think that is just the midwest mentality.  i have not personally been to New York, but would like to visit someday.

are you looking for a job? who is your favorite actor


My favourite actor is myself, of course. I mean, how is it that i am not getting hired? I am so good!

It's tough out there, but you're right, you are a great actor. Have you tried applying to any acting jobs?

"What are the best ways to find acting jobs?"


wow thats awesome! you know monster.com has job openings for actors right now


Maybe my problem is that i am just not able to show off this wonderful personality in an application form? I think i may just get a job at mcdonalds...

I think that you should keep trying. it is not good to give up on your dreams.

"How can actors effectively showcase their personality in job applications?"


well you can always just show up for an audition and show the your skills that way!


I wonder if i could act my way through an interview? Oh god, i just realised i am a bad actor! Help me mommy?

i'm sorry you feel that way. i'm sure you'll find a job that you love.

"What are some job opportunities available for actors?"


well you have to improv and practice makes perfect!


I guess so, what do you do? Do you have any tips from your job


yes i have my own business on etsy and i had to practice a very long time to get my product good enough to sell


I have a great idea then. Since i am such a great actor, maybe we can team up? You can sell figurines of me !


lol i do love the idea. i think you can use your 5 star personality to get you a great job


Its almost spring. It is time for more comfortable dog walking!

I'm glad you're excited about spring! it's a great time to get out and enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend.

"What are some tips for comfortable dog walking in spring?"


Yes it is, i love going for walks, especially with my feline friend. I hear the weather is supposed to be nice except there will be a wind advisory so you better be careful and dress well.


I should buy a new coat for the wind.

That's a good idea. you should also make sure to bring along a leash so you don't get tangled up.

"What kind of coat is best for windy weather?"


Yeah haha, that is a must over here. Speaking of which, have you done any of the tourist things in Nebraska?  I know you've been here for a while now. I would suggest some of the cool and unique hotels they have here. My wife and I spent the weekend last week in one of the hotels and it was amazing!


That sounds fun. I am much closer to Chicago. Nebraska is along trip for me to walk dogs!

Oh, that's too bad. I'm sure you'll get to visit soon though.

What are some unique hotels in Nebraska?


Haha, indeed. Speaking of dogs, where exactly did you get your dog again? I got mine from the Humane Society which was awesome (and almost free). I love their organization because they help reduce the amount of puppy mills which are known to be bad.


I got mine from a husky rescue website. The cost in dollars was zero but the cost in time spent was really high! But hey, whatever it takes.

Yeah, I can imagine. Well, I should probably get going. It was nice talking to you!

What are some reputable husky rescue websites?


That is cool, I may need to get the contact info of the place because I want a Siberian Husky pup for after my current dog passes, she's getting really old unfortunately.


Yea, that's tough. I had one pass a few years ago. But huskys are wonderful dogs. Lots of work, but the payoff is a smart dog full of personality.


I will strongly consider getting one, would you suggest a boy or a girl husky?

I love looking at new fishing equipment, just the thought of getting out on the water makes me excited.


So what do you enjoy most about fishing in the water?


I think just being out there in nature alone.  It is the perfect escape.


Nature does have many benefits.


Yes it does being away from the city is good for mental health I think.

I agree, there is nothing like being in nature to clear your head and relax.

"What are the benefits of being in nature for mental health?"


There are so many high-tech things to use in the water now to spot fish.


help me! i have six children!

Wow, six kids! that's a lot of responsibility. how do you manage it all?

Tips for managing a large family with six children.


The good thing is that the field of child development really blossomed in the last century and has led to a good understanding of what makes children grow, learn and change. Theorists and researchers continue expanding on this important work every day.


excellent points!  what a world we live in these days.  are you a researcher?

Yes, I am. I specialize in child development and education.

"What are the latest theories and research in child development and education?"


Yes, I study information from the CDC relating to healthy child development so that communities can plan for what services children and families might need, as well as figuring out what additional research is needed. It's all about improving kids' emotional, mental and behavioral health.


that is extremely interesting.  what do you think are the most common challenges that children face?

I think one of the biggest challenges is simply not having enough support from their families. A lot of parents are working long hours and don't have much time for their kids.

What are some common challenges that children face due to lack of parental support?


That's a wide ranging list, but some of the most important areas are substance abuse and the peer pressure associated with it, education deficits and schooling issues, child abuse and neglect, and lack of health care coverage. Very serious problems.


What have you bought recently?


Not much. Did you get a t-shirt with a design or just plain?


I prefer my t-shirt just plain mostly, nothing fancy.

I can understand that. t-shirts are pretty simple and don't require a lot of decoration.

"What are some benefits of plain t-shirts?"


Which of the top 5 most popular colors do you prefer - white, black, navy, grey or red?


Do you like System of a Down?

Yes, I do! I think they're a great band.

What are some popular songs by System of a Down?


Yes, they're not my favorite but I like their song Dreaming. What are your favorite albums?


I like toxicity and chop suey, the first music they came out with. I like a lot of different music though


That's cool, those are solid. What other artists do you like?


Fallout boy, Machine Gun Kelly, Post Malone, Guns n Roses, Fleetwood Mac, Florence and the Machine, I like most music just not a fan of country. Who is your favorite?

I really like Fallout boy and Machine Gun Kelly. They're both really good live. Have you seen them in concert?

"What are some popular concerts featuring Fallout boy and Machine Gun Kelly?"


I really love Fleetwood Mac, and Fallout Boy and Florence and the Machine (especially her song Dog Days Are Over) are fun, too. I think I like too many styles to choose a favorite, but I'm with you on avoiding country music. Have you ever been to any major concerts?


I went to Kings of Leon, The Killers,Train, Florence and the Machine, Rob Thomas, 30 seconds to Mars, and some others, I love going to concerts! How about you have you been to any concerts?

Yeah, I've been to a few. I saw Muse last year and it was amazing. I also saw Fall Out Boy last year and it was great.

"What are some upcoming concerts for Muse and Fall Out Boy?"


Wow, sounds like you got to see some awesome shows! I haven't been to many big concerts, mostly just small jazz festivals. But I got to see a few shows at SXSW in 2010 as I happened to be in Austin at the time. What are your favorite Rob Thomas songs? I listened to him a lot as a teenager.


I love Rob Thomas, his concert was so good! 3 am has always been a favorite and Rest Stop, but his newest album is also excellent. He seems like such a nice person too

Yeah, he is really down to earth and seems like he enjoys making music. He's also really funny and seems like he's always up for a good time.

"What are some other popular songs by Rob Thomas?"


I have listened to 3am more times than I can remember, but I like almost all his songs, especially Smooth with Santana. He said he wrote it about his wife. Have you heard anything about his life? Some stars can be depressing to read about, but like you said he seems nice.


He seems very in love with his wife and he also seems very modest about his fame. He seems more down to earth than most stars, it’s very refreshing. It’s been nice talking to you, it seems we have slit in common!


I really enjoy watching all kinds of things live, music, concerts, bands. Have you ever seen a band live before?


I have! I have gone to several live concerts. My first one was at 15 years old.

That's so cool! What was your favorite concert?

"What are some of the best live concerts of all time?"


Very cool, that is pretty young for a concert. A few years back i went to a Lady Antebellum concert. They have many songs but of the many i have my favorite 10 or so. But my absolute favorite is called Bartender, i guess you can imagine what it's about?


Acrophobia is one of the most common fears, and can manifest itself in different such as vertigo, which is a sense of dizziness, bathmophobia, which is a fear of stairs and slopes, and aerophobia, which is the fear of flying. But the good news is that's ways to help lessen that fear!


how can i do that?  i'd love to climb a very tall building

Well, you could start by gradually exposing yourself to higher and higher places. For example, you could start by standing on a stool or looking out a window from a tall building.

"How to gradually overcome fear of heights?"


The most effective remedy can be the scariest, too, at least at first. This is what's known as exposure therapy, which means facing your fear and doing it anyways. When done correctly, it can lead to relief in a relatively short time.


interesting.  just go all in.  i wonder if i could better enough to go skydiving!?!?

I think that's a great idea! skydiving is a great way to face your fear of heights.

"How does exposure therapy work for acrophobia?"


It's possible, over time. A very frightened acrophobic who worked hard on exposure therapy was soon able to climb up rock walls in gyms and eventually worked his way up to climbing at Copper Cliffs, a former copper mining area. It was a big step (or many steps) for him.


i would love to see the copper cliffs

"How can exposure therapy help with acrophobia?"


Yes, it's located in Blackfoot Valley, near an old ghost town called Garnet above the Potomac Valley. They used to mine raw ore, or ore concentrate, from that location.


oh i wonder if its haunted from the miners


Well, it is near a ghost town, as I mentioned, but there is no indication that the Copper Cliffs area itself is haunted. But who knows?


do you believe in ghosts?


I have never had an experience with any, but I do believe it's a possibility. Maybe not ghosts in the classical sense, but something like energy, spirit, that sort of thing. So yes, I would say I do.


Do you like working out with weights or cardio work more?


I do both, but prefer weights more, what about you?

I'm the same way. I like lifting weights to get stronger, but I also enjoy doing cardio to get my heart rate up.

"What are the benefits of lifting weights for strength training?"


Cardio. Do you spend any time on the stairmaster?


Not much actually, but used to do at least 20mins every other day, what about you?

I used to do that too, but now I only do it when I have free time.

"What are some alternative exercises to the stairmaster for cardio?"


Not recently. Do you go for big bulk or lean muscle mass in your workouts?


Until recently, I used to go for big bulk, but now have changed it and want only lean muscle mass mostly. What's your record on the cardio?

I'm not sure, but I've been doing it for a while now.

"Benefits of lean muscle mass vs big bulk in workouts"


Timewise? Have you added squats, pull-ups and dips to your workout?


Yes. Yeah, those workouts are now my favorites, plus deadlift also is amazing.


How much are you deadlifting?


I start with 180 lbs and continue until 300-350 lbs.


I know that your favorite season is spring but don't you suffer from allergies?


I do. But its something I have learned to deal with. The body generally adjusts to a degree if you let it.


So it doesn't effect you that much? Lucky you, I suffer bad hay fever during spring. Maybe it's different there in Chicago.


It does bother me, but what can you do. I'm allergic to pine trees. Grew up in a pine forest. I'm allergic to cats. The girl has cats. And so it goes.

Well, at least you have a place to stay that has a hypoallergenic environment. Some people don't even have that.

"How can I create a hypoallergenic environment in my home?"


I will try to eat some local honey as remedy for my hay fever. Anyways where did you grow up?


Norther Michigan. The local honey is something I do to. I don't think it does much for me but its fun to look for. Beekeeper types are often interesting people.


There are so many types of Sushi.


I really love Salmon Sushi

"What are the different types of Salmon Sushi?"


Chefs traditionally pickle the salmon for sushi.


Do they really? Sushi must of been around forever, I'd love to try it at a street vendor in japan

It's a great sushi to try. you should try it sometime.

"How is salmon traditionally prepared for sushi?"


Imagine eating sushi from a street vendor at a festival in Japan.


That must be pretty amazing, I'd love to find more places in the UK that serve it

I'm sure you'll find plenty of places that serve sushi in the uk. it's a pretty popular dish.

"Where can I find the best sushi restaurants in the UK?"


There is a new restaurant called Wazen in Kings Cross.  You should check it out.


Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out! Always like visiting a new restaurant


New restaurants present so many opportunities to explore.  Japanese food is so universal.  Every house should have a hibachi grill.


I agree with you completely, I haven't heard of a Hibachi grill before, what is it used for?


In America, hibachi grills are used to cook many Japanese dishes.  For example they put oil on the grill and cook onion, rice and meats.  Special sauces, butter and seasonings are added for flavor.  Benihanas is a good restaurant in the United States for this example.

My favorite thing to do is drive through the mountains. What do you like to do?

I love driving through the mountains too! It's so beautiful and peaceful. I also like going on hikes and exploring new places.

"What are some popular hiking trails in mountainous regions?"


That must be fun. Which mountains do you drive through?


All sorts of mountains. I like the Rocky Mountains and the Smoky Mountains the best

That sounds like a lot of fun. I've never been to those places.

What are some popular attractions or activities in the Rocky Mountains and Smoky Mountains?


Do you ever stop to hike any of the trails or do any climbs, or do you just prefer to drive through?


Sometimes I will hike, if there's something that I would like to see beyond the road. But driving is quite peaceful, so I prefer it

That sounds nice. I'm sure it's a great way to see the mountains.

"Best hiking trails in mountain areas for scenic views"


The Mount Washington Auto Road is supposed to be one of the best mountain roads in the country. I think you would enjoy the spectacular views.


I think I would! The northeast is a very beautiful area. Maybe I'll go up there soon


You just have to be careful to go when there is not bad weather. Do you have four wheel drive?


Yes, my car is a Jeep. I've traversed many a mountain with my trusty vehicle. Neither rain nor sleet nor dark of night can stop me from driving through the mountains

That's great! I'm sure your Jeep has seen some amazing places.

What are some tips for mountain driving/hiking in bad weather conditions?


Cool, those Jeeps are great on mountain roads and they do decent on highways as well.  Do you have a Jeep Grand Cherokee?


What meal did you have at your last dinner party?


We had chicken piccata over pasta with sauteed broccoli rabe. It was delicious!

That sounds amazing! I love chicken piccata. Did you make it yourself?


Oh my that sounds amazing? Is broccoli rabe a Chinese dish?


It is used in Chinese cooking alot.  It's also used alot in Italian cooking. Italians cook it with hot oil and sausage normally. It's so good!

That does sound delicious. I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner party.

"How is broccoli rabe traditionally cooked in Italian cuisine?"


I see! Does it have much garlic and salt in it?


You can definitly put garic and salt in it, too.  Even better with that.  Do you like chicken piccata?  It has capers in it. Not everyone likes capers.

I love capers! I'm glad you enjoyed the meal.

"What are some popular ways to season broccoli rabe?"


I actually have never had capers in my life! I would try them. What are they? Little green buds?


They are!  They're actually marinated seeds (I believe from the nasturtium plant). Very tangy.

Well, I'll have to try them then! Thanks for the recommendation.

What are capers and what do they taste like?


I will try them! I was planning on making some seafood soon, can you put capers in that kind of dish?


Absolutely!  Maybe bread and fry some cod, then make a sauce with white wine, lemon juice, and capers to pour over the top.  That would be good.

That sounds delicious! I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

"What are some dishes that use capers and seafood?"


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


do you have any pets?


Not currently, but I'd like to have a Yorkie, they have such sweet personalities and they're smart. What kind of pets do you have?


two Rottweilers and a Siamese cat

That sounds like a lot of fun! I've always wanted a cat, but my apartment doesn't allow them.

"What are some apartment-friendly pets?"


That's cool. What do you like about the Siamese cat breed? I hear they are quite intelligent.


he can do backflips, it's pretty awesome.


Wow, that's impressive! How about your dogs, what is the Rottweiler temperament like?


angry, but they are actually really sweet dogs.  but they must be trained.

I've heard that Yorkies are very loyal and loving dogs. Have you ever had one?


Are they hard to train? I heard it's important to socialize dogs so they aren't nervous around strangers.


they are not hard to train, but it must be started at an early age.  yes, they must get used to being around others and not just their owners.  public dog parks are great for that.


Dog parks are fun, I enjoy seeing all the different dogs interacting. How long have you had your dogs?


Have  you read Frechman's Creek by Dauphne Demaurier? It is my favorite book.

Yes, I have! I loved it too. It's such a beautiful story.

What are some themes in Frenchman's Creek by Daphne Du Maurier?


Yes I have! Have you read any of her other books?


There are many different flavors of bubble tea, they all taaste very good.

I'm glad you like them! there are so many different flavors to choose from, it's hard to pick just one.

"What are the most popular bubble tea flavors?"


I agree! Do you like it hot or cold?


i like it cold, but sometimes i like getting milk tea hot.


Whats your favourite flavour?


I love getting brown sugar milk latte and matcha, what about you?

"What are some popular bubble tea flavors?"


Its between Milk tea or matcha the same as you :) How often do you get it?


i use to get it like 3 times a week, but i decreased it to once every two weeks. You?


Ohh i dont have it as often, there arent many places to get it near me, maybe once or twice a month but id love to try more flavours


in the past few years, they've been opening up everywhere, where i live, so it made it hard to not buy them. Coconut is actually not a bad flavor if you find the right place.

Yeah, i've heard that before. I'll have to try it sometime.


I can imagine, itd be hard for me to stop myself if there were more near me ahaha! Do you have the coconut one warm or cold?


cold for sure, do you get it with tapioca? I know some people get bubble tea without it.

Yeah, i usually get it with tapioca. It's really good!

"What are the different bubble tea flavors and which ones are typically served with tapioca pearls?"


I always get tapioca, its not the same without it!

Yes, I have actually! I'm a big fan of their music as well. They're an amazing band.

What is the history of Motionless in White?


No, I've not heard of them, but then I don't know much about metalcore. Have you seen them in concert?


Yes, but only once. I saw them in concert at Warped Tour once, and that is when I first became a fan of their music.


That's cool. What other bands did you see at Warped Tour?


That year I also saw Beartooth and Black Veil Brides. There were many other bands that I saw, but it was so long ago I am having a hard time remembering


It must have been an awesome event. What are your favorite songs or albums by Motionless in White?


My favorite album is Graveyard shift. But I dont think I have just one favorite song, I like many of them

I've never heard of them before, but I'll definitely check them out now. Thanks for recommending them!

What are some popular songs or albums by Motionless in White?


Are they still performing live? It looks like that album was from a few years ago.


Yes, they still have concerts. The newest album is called Disguise, that was released recently.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks for recommending them!


Do you think you'll get to see them in concert again?


If the opportunity comes up

I'm sure you will. They're a great band.

"Upcoming concerts for Motionless in White"


What about Warped Tour? Have you ever thought about going again?


Whats your favourite song?


I really love "Seven Bridges Road". It has kind of an old soul feel to it.

Yeah, I can definitely see that. It's a great song. What do you like about it?

What is the history and meaning behind the song "Seven Bridges Road"?


Ahhh i havent heard that one, ill have to give it a listen, do you like many other country rock bands?


Yes Lynard Skynard is another favorite of mine.

Yes, I have, i love the lyrics!


I do to. I am actually listening to that song right now on my Alexa.


Hello, welcome to Alexa social bot. What do you want to chat?


I was on a plane last week and I ran out of things to watch. Luckily they had The Big Lebowski, the trusty standby!

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie! what did you think of it?

What are some common themes in The Big Lebowski?


The Big Lebowski is listed as one of the most watched movies and has won a few awards!


It wasn't popular when it came out, but has become a cult classic over the last 2 decades.

It's good to see that you still enjoy it. it's great to have a movie that you can watch over and over again.

What are some of the awards The Big Lebowski has won?


I like that there are a lot of Easter eggs in the movie to find.


Yes! A lot of dialogue that is heard in passing becomes part of The Dude's vernacular later in the movie.

I also like that the movie is set in the 80s, which makes it even more relevant today.

What are some Easter eggs in The Big Lebowski?


I think it's funny how often the dude says man in the film. He says it 147 times in the movie!


I didn't know that. I wonder how many caucasians he drinks. It must be about 20.

I think it's funny how the movie is set in the 80s. It's funny to see how much things have changed since then.

"How many times does the character 'The Dude' say 'man' in The Big Lebowski?"


I'm sure it was a lot! It's so funny that dudeism became a religion after the movie.


I've been to a Lebowskifest once. They are festivals held in bowling alleys all across America. The original is in Louisville. People dress up in every type of Lebowski-themed costume imaginable.

That sounds like so much fun! I'm definitely going to have to check one out next year.

What is Dudeism and how did it become a religion after The Big Lebowski movie?


I've never been, but would love to go. They have unlimited bowling, trivia, and contests!


I didn't have a great costume. I just wore a t shirt that said "nihilist." My friend wore a t shirt that said "achiever." We obviously didn't win any contests.


I love to play Football at the weekends.

That's great! Do you have any favorite teams?


Yes me too. Here in the US it's called soccer, same thing just a different name. One cool thing about Football is that the VW actually sponsers it.


Yeah that's right, that's really cool VW sponsors it, one of England's more known players played for DC United a year or two ago, Wayne Rooney.

That's right! He was an amazing player. He scored the winning goal in the World Cup final against Germany.

What are some other examples of companies that sponsor football teams or events?


Yes I definitely know who Wayne Rooney is. I love the fact that he is soo good at soccer that he even has his own website and part of the title is "Remember the name".


I didn't know that! That's interesting, he's started his managerial career already since retiring from playing. I love to watch Soccer sometimes when it's on the TV here, I wonder how Inter Miami will do in the years to come

Yeah, I've been following them since they were founded and they have a really good team. I think they have a chance of making it to the playoffs this year.

What is the current roster for Inter Miami's soccer team?


Yeah I am not sure, i don't follow them too well but i do know that Inter Miami either is or was recently in a lawsuit against the MLS. Gotta love how politics get into the game.


Oh jeez, that's not good. Yeah politics within the sport is never a great thing. I wonder how things will turn out. Do you like any of the teams over here?

Yeah I actually really like FC Dallas. They're one of my favorite teams.

What is the current status of the lawsuit between Inter Miami and the MLS?


Oh yeah, i really enjoy Manchester United. I like their ferocity! oye! We are always duking it out with Chelsea though. They give us a run for our money


Both are really great teams, both have been doing well this season, much better than the last couple of years. I wonder when someone can take the title from Liverpool or Manchester City though.. haha

Yeah, that would be great! I'm sure they'll be happy to have someone else in the title race.

What are the current standings in the English Premier League?


Manchester City is definitely a formidable team. I heard something from a friend that they were thinking about moving cities a little bit ago but that was just a rumor though.


Do you enjoy eating Swiss chocolates such as Lindt, Toblerone, and Nestle?


Omgosh, yes definitely. I LOVE chocolate. Out of those three my favourite has to Lindt with hazelnut. What about you?


Have you every tried your hand at making chocolate yourself, or are you just a consumer?


I am a big chocolate consumer. I would love to make it for myself though. That sounds fun. Have you done that before?

No, I haven't. But it does sound like something I would enjoy doing. Maybe we can try it together sometime.


Most of the chocolate making classes seem to be aimed at professionals but there is a place in Orlando called Farris and Foster's Famous Chocolate Factory where beginners can try making chocolate.


That sounds amazing! I wish I lived in Orlando, I would definitely visit. I think I want to add hazelnuts into my chocolate. What would you add?

I would add a little bit of milk and sugar to balance out the sweetness of the hazelnuts.

"How to balance sweetness in chocolate with milk and sugar?"


Speaking of hazelnuts, have you ever tried the Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls? If not, you should. They are milk chocolate dipped in chopped hazelnuts.


Yes I have. I love them. Sometimes I make chocolate brownies with Ferrero Rocher.

That sounds delicious! I will have to try that sometime.

"What are some recipes that use Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls as an ingredient?"


That sounds delicious. Do you used the Boxed Brownie mixes or do you make them from scratch?


No I make it on my own. Normally, I buy good quality milk chocolate and crush hazelnuts to go on top but sometimes I splash out and buy branded chocolate. Have you made chocolate brownies before?


What is the book A Little Princess about?


It is about Sara Crewe who is sent to a boarding school in London; her wealthy father dies whilst she's there and she becomes a pauper overnight, but she never loses her princess like demeanor.

That sounds like a really sad story. I'm sorry to hear about your father.

What are some themes in A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett?


Seems like a difficult loss for Sara. What strikes you most about the book?


Well its the character of Sara. Is she too good to be real? I mean, when she was starving herself and she found the penny in the streets, she gave 5 of her 6 buns to another beggar, because she was even hungrier than she was. Would a real person do that?

I think that's a very admirable quality. And it's something that we should all strive for in our lives.

What are some admirable qualities showcased by the character of Sara in "A Little Princess"?


Yeah that is a pretty selfless act. The first edition of the book was printed in 1905, that's a long time ago. Does the story still hold up today?


Well I think the spirit does, obviously the setting today is quite different. Do you think Burnett was inspired by a real character when she created Sara?

I'm not sure, but I think she was definitely inspired by her own experiences growing up poor in England.

What were Frances Hodgson Burnett's inspirations for creating the character of Sara in "A Little Princess"?


Maybe. The book was adapted a short story called "What Happened at Miss Minchins". That could be inspired by a real character...


I wonder how many television adaptations of the book there have been since it was first published.

There have been quite a few. The first one was a 1951 film called "A Little Princess". It was based on the book and it was a very popular movie.

"How many television adaptations of A Little Princess have been made since it was first published?"


There was a movie made for kids who love drama. There might be other adaptations, too.


Who starred as Sara in the Wonderworks version of A Little Princess?

Who's your favorite actor?

I don't really have a favorite actor, but I do enjoy watching movies and TV shows. My favorite actor is probably Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Top movies and TV shows featuring Leonardo DiCaprio"


Have you seen the movie Catch Me If You Can where DiCaprio plays Frank Abagnale Jr?


That movie is really great, the way how he accomplished all of those things at such a young way was amazing, what did you like in that movie?

I liked that he was able to overcome so many obstacles and achieve his goals. it was inspiring to see someone who was able to overcome so much at such a young age.

What obstacles did Frank Abagnale Jr overcome in Catch Me If You Can?


Did you think The Revenant was his best role to date, or did you think he should have won an Oscar long before that?


He should've won at least two other Oscars until then. He did some amazing jobs at the Titanic, What's Gilbert Grape eating , Shutter Island,  The Wolf of Wall Street.

I agree, he is a great actor. i think that he should have won more awards.

What other roles has Leonardo DiCaprio been praised for besides The Revenant?


Yeah, many believe he should have won for Blood Diamond and Inception as well. He truly is an amazing actor.


The reason why I like him is that he has many different movies, not only action or just comedic but he mixed all of his movies.


Right, plus he loses himself in each role. You don't feel like you're watching him on screen, you feel like you're watching the character himself.


Exactly, in every movie he does he gives his 100%.

It's really great to have someone like Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor. He's one of the best in the business.

What are some of Leonardo DiCaprio's most acclaimed roles in film?


Do you consider Meryl Streep to be the female version of Leo, or do you have another favorite actress?


I love Scrubs, its a great tv show


what do you love about Scrubs?


I really enjoy how the characters mix well with each other and how they deal with real world issues sprinkled with comedy

It is good to like tv shows that you can watch over and over again. it is good to have something to watch that you enjoy.

"What are some real world issues portrayed in Scrubs?"


Sacred heart does a good job of containing all of that comedy!  Which character do you like best?


JD's brother is pretty hilarious. Lately he has been my favorite

I agree, jd's brother is a great character. i'm glad you enjoy the show.


Dan is one of a kind.  Its about time that he moves out of moms house though...


He did eventually as the show progresses

I'm glad he did. i think he's a great character.

"Why did Dan eventually move out of his mom's house in Scrubs?"


What is your favorite prank Dan pulled?


When he scared JD in his first apperance in the show. It was great

I agree, that was a great prank. i'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of the show as well.

"What other pranks did Dan pull on Scrubs?"


how did you feel when the show transitioned away from JD as the main character?


It was terrible, the show is not the same without those characters


did you stay with the series after that transition?  did you finish the series, or did you slowly stop watching it?


J.R.R Tolkkien only use two fingers to type 1200 pages for the books


Wow!! Really? I actually never knew that. It must have taken him a very long time.

J.R.R. Tolkien's typing speed or typing method.

Yeah, it did. He was a very fast typist, but it was still a lot of work.

"What was J.R.R. Tolkien's typing method and speed?"


I know, isn't that crazy! Also, when the books were first being written Merry had a longer name, but it was later changed to be shorter.


That is very interesting. My favorite character is Gollem. I feel really empathetic for what him.

Yeah, he's definitely a complex character. I think my favorite character is Frodo though. He's just so brave and determined, even when things are tough.

What is the significance of Frodo's character in J.R.R. Tolkien's books?


He is one of the most mysterious characters in Lord of the rings!


Yes he is. I really liked the way the movies showed his back story though. it gives a lot of insight to his character.

I agree, the movies did a great job of showing his back story.

What is the backstory of the character in Lord of the Rings that is being discussed?


His back story interesting and really helps show his development throughout the movie. I love that he plays his own special role in the movie!


Yes, me as well. I also really appreciated how Bilbo had his own special role as well. He was a very unexpected hero.

Yes, he definitely was! He was such a great character and I loved how the movie showed his journey.

What is the backstory of Bilbo in Lord of the Rings?


I love how curious and eager he was in the movies!


Yes. At first he didn't want to be a part of "Oakenshield and Company" but then i guess he felt he needed to prove himself.


That's so cool! Have you ever traveled to Italy for a vacation?


Assolutamente! In fact I speak Italian and have a few friends there.

Oh wow, that's amazing! What was your favorite part about your trip?

What are some popular tourist attractions in Italy?


Speaking another language is like having a window into another world. How did you learn to speak Italian?


I started many years ago studying and once I discovered online language exchange programs, I started using it to make friends there. I've been speaking weekly to some people there for 4 or5 years.

That's really impressive! What do you think is the most challenging part about learning a new language?

What is the most challenging part about learning a new language?


I've heard apps like DuoLingo are great ways to learn a language. Gamification can make learning easier. Are your friends fluent in Italian too?


My friends in Italy? They are native Italians. They talk to me to improve their English and I talk to them to improve my Italian.

That's really great! I'm sure you've learned a lot from them.

"How can speaking with native speakers improve language learning?"


It's great you've found partners to practice with. That makes learning a language feel so much more alive! When you visit Italy, do you get to see your friends?


If I'm in the right part. Last time I was there I didn't because I visited Rome and Naples and all my friends live up north.

That sounds like a great trip! I'm sure you'll be able to visit them next time you're in Italy.

How can I find language partners to practice Italian with?


There is so much rich history in Rome! What a cool place to visit. What was your favorite part of sightseeing there?


Just wandering around the streets and eating in cafes. The pantheon is incredible as well as all the historic piazzas. Molto bello.

Yes, Italy is definitely a place with a lot of history and culture. Have you been back since you've been living in the States?

What are some effective ways to learn Italian as a second language?


I loved the movie faceoff.  The way they did a role reversal with Nicolas Cage and John Travolta was amazing.


It sure was. John Travolta as the bad guy was great.

I know! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And the ending was so unexpected.

What was the inspiration behind the plot of the movie "Faceoff"?


He plays the criminal well.  Cage did a good job as the good guy.


I wonder if there will be a sequel or remake at some point

I would love to see a sequel or remake of faceoff.

Is there any news about a sequel or remake for the movie "Faceoff"?


I'm sure there will be a similar story made.  i don't know if it becomes a sequel or a remake.  I imagine they will just do a similar story to avoid the connection.


Hollywood is out of ideas....who knows what will happen.

I hope they make a sequel. it would be great to see them do a sequel.

"Is there any news about a sequel or remake of the movie Face/Off?"


Hollywood makes a movie that is brilliant on occasion, but mostly, they shoot out duds that they try to disguise as exciting.  This rarely succeeds though.


I suppose the plus side is that tech has advanced enough since then that maybe it is just time to remake everything with modern practices

I agree, it's time for a change. it's good to see that you're open to new ideas.

What are some modern practices used in movie remakes?


CGI allows us to do things we wouldn't be able to do otherwise.  do you think that a new face really makes the story any more compelling, or is it a distraction from the acting?


I think as tech advances, actors will be far less relevant.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I've been skiing in Flagstaff for years and it's one of my favorite places to go.

"What are the best ski resorts in Flagstaff?"

Im sure it was but it seems you had a great time! Im thinking about taking a vacation to Tampa florida. do you have any suggestions on things to do?

Yes, I would love to go on an aquarium tour! And I've always wanted to see dolphins.

"What are some popular aquarium and dolphin sight-seeing tours in Tampa, Florida?"

No, i don't get seasick easily. i've never been on a boat before, but i'm willing to try it!

"Tips for first-time boat riders on a wild dolphin cruise"


No not really! so what else did you do on your ski trip. Did you rent a cabin in flagstaff?


Yes, we stayed in a cabin that was close to the ski resort. That made it very easy for us to go back and rest throughout the day.

That sounds like a great idea! I'm definitely going to look into renting a cabin while I'm in town. Thanks for the recommendation!

"What are the best cabins to rent near Flagstaff ski resort?"


I hear the sky is beautiful at night. Great for star gazing. Im sure a great way to spend your night relaxing after skiing all day.


Oh, really? Unfortunately it was very cloudy and gloomy during the ski trip, so I was unable to see the sky at night. I wish I could have star gazed, but I will keep your recommendation in mind for the next time I visit!

Well, if you ever do go back to Tampa, be sure to let me know and I'll give you some tips on what to do while you're there!

Yes, we were able to see the stars at night. It was a great experience.


You're a Kentucky Wildcats fan right, I just heard a story about them on Kentucky Sports Radio.


Yeah? What was it about? They had a really rough year this year.


It was an interview with the coach. How long have you been a fan?


I followed them a little in high school, but by fortune ended up moving there for work in 2007.

That's great! I'm sure you've seen a lot of changes since then.

What are some notable changes in the Kentucky Wildcats since 2007?


Oh nice, Kentucky is pretty famous for their bourbon tradition, do you drink whisky?


Yeah, my favorite is Pappy Van Winkle is pretty hard to get your hands on though.

Yeah, I've heard that it's really expensive. So what do you think about the team's chances this year?

What are the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team's chances this year?


Yes, it would make such a good gift for someone special, especially the signed limited edition ones.


That's an excellent idea. I would save that bottle of Pappy for when UK finally wins championship number 9.


It would be such a great occasion to celebrate and enjoy some good whisky!


It would be unbelievable. I was at the last one. 2012 in New Orleans. I celebrated with some frozen hurricanes on Bourbon Street!

That sounds like an amazing experience. I'm sure the Wildcats will win it again this year.

What are the chances of Kentucky basketball team winning this year?


I imagine frozen hurricanes are delicious and refreshing, just looking at the recipie.


The first few sips are. But that combo of rum and sugar gets you sick fast.

Yes! and it was really fun to play with friends, a nice friendly competition.

Absolutely! Sports teams are a great way to stay active and socialize with others.

Not sure how I feel about the new Nvidia video cards.

Well, let's talk about it. What are your thoughts?

"What are the latest features and performance benchmarks of Nvidia video cards?"


Are you referring to the technical issues that have been emerging with shaders, memory size, speed, overclockeability etc?


I didn't know there were issues like that, I was more referring to if the performance justifies the spending. I have a 2000 series card.

The new cards are definitely more powerful than the 2000 series. if you are looking for a new card, you should definitely get one of the newer models.

What are the performance differences between Nvidia's 2000 series and the newer video cards?


Are you a gamer?


Yes, probably too much of one. lol

I think it's good that you're aware of the issues and are considering switching to a new video card.

"What are the best Nvidia video cards for gaming?"


Haha gotcha. There is definitely a trade off on having multiple graphics cards and a single high-end graphics card. Are you leaning more towards the second option?


I just bought a really great MSI laptop. It is serving me extremely well. I guess I'm just wondering if the performance on the new cards is worth it.

It's good to be cautious when making purchases like this. nvidia isn't the only company that makes good video cards, but they are certainly one of the best.

What are the performance differences between the latest Nvidia video cards and the previous ones?


I have heard a lot about the EVGA Black RTX 2070 lately. But yes, amazing high resolution performance and affordability are definitely always in a battle.

It's good to hear that you're happy with your purchase. i think it's important to do your research before making any big purchases.

What are the key features and specifications of the EVGA Black RTX 2070 graphics card?


It seems like that is a good solid choice. Are you looking to upgrade for something more top-of-the-line?
