Yes that is true. It is not really how good your hand is but more so it is about how good you can bluff.

That's a good point. Bluffing can be very effective in poker. But it's important to remember that not every hand is going to be bluffed.

I would have to say "Texas Hold 'Em" Poker. It is a 7 card stud variant.

Running at night when no one is around is one of my favorite things to do

It's great that you enjoy running at night. it's a great way to get some exercise and clear your head.


Night running sounds like a peaceful experience. Do you take any precautions to stay safe in the dark?


No, my life is not controlled by fear.

It is good to be safe when doing things that you enjoy. if you are not afraid of the dark, then you should enjoy running at night.

"How to stay safe while running at night?"


That's a courageous attitude. Running at night must be very helpful for falling asleep.


It can be, it is also great for thinking about the world while the world sleeps

I can see how that would be beneficial. it is good to get some exercise and clear your head.


That sounds like a great way to meditate. Night running must be very good for your physical and mental health.


Yes, sadly....fried chicken is not.

I'm glad you're able to find peace in your life. i hope you continue to enjoy night running!

That's a pity. Practicing moderation is a good way to enjoy unhealthy foods without negatively impacting your body.


Yeah well when you find out that you liver forever, all of that goes out the window.

I'm sure you're not going to find out that you liver is forever. i'm sure you'll be fine.

"How does excessive consumption of unhealthy foods affect the liver?"


Immortality does seem like a useful trait to have.


I was amazed when I found out last year that L&O:SVU passed Gunsmoke as the longest runnng drama on TV now

Yes, it's been a great show for many years. It's definitely one of the most popular shows on television.

"What are some reasons for the popularity of Law & Order: SVU?"


L@O:SVU is also an Emmy Award-winning primetime live-action series of all time. What is your favorite episode?


The episode where Olivia was kidnapped by her nemesis William Lewis. He was so good in that role. Gave me the chills.

L&O:SVU (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

I agree, that was a great episode. And the ending was very satisfying.

What is the name of the episode in L&O:SVU where Olivia is kidnapped by William Lewis?

Who is William Lewis in Law & Order: SVU?


Do you just run for fun or have you ran some marathons?


I haven't run any marathons, yet.  I can't find the time to train for them!

It's definitely not easy to find the time to train for a marathon. But it's so worth it when you cross that finish line and accomplish something great.

How do you train for a marathon and what are some tips for beginners?

I am looking right now for a rice cooker who might give me the quality everything. Do you have any idea?

Well, there are many different types of rice cookers on the market. It really depends on what you are looking for in a rice cooker.

"What to consider when buying a rice cooker?"


amazon has a good selection of rice cookers would you like me to send you a link


Oh, that would be good but can I trust the review on amazon. Do you think the Asian brand will be better.


I would look at the amount of reviews, if it is a few hundred I would strongly suggest that it is trustworthy.


Ya, I think so too. Have you heard of the brand Panasonic from Japan?

Yes, i have heard of them. they are a very popular brand.


Yes, Amazon also carried panasonic rice cookers if you would rather an Asian branded option.


If it is good and the price is reasonable, I don't mind attall.


Alright sounds good, what is your price range?


Around $50 to 1$125. Does it sound reasonable.


The Good Doctor must be a very exciting show. Characters with extraordinary abilities like Shaun's are very interesting!


It is and the first season was like a breath of fresh air because the storylines were new and creative. But I sort of wondered if it was realistic and whether it is possible for people on the high performing end of the autism scale can really hold down this type of job.

I think it is realistic. The show does a good job of showing how people with autism can be successful in the medical field.

"How accurate is The Good Doctor portrayal of autism in the medical field?"


For some on the autism spectrum, a steady career and independence aren't an option. Still, some individuals can live their own lives and hold steady careers. I think in a case like Shaun's, the most important factor is how accommodating the employers are willing to be.


Well, in the show, his sort-of adopted father is the head of the hospital so he had a big influence in getting Shaun placed there. The biggest hurdle is the interpersonal relationships between the doctor and his patients and Shaun has no filter so he is blunt, direct, and at times impersonal. I don't know how realistic that is given how doctors are forever being told about their "bedside manner". Still better to be honest than arrogant.

I think it's great that you are watching the show and i hope you enjoy it!

"How realistic is the portrayal of doctors in The Good Doctor TV show?"


Social interactions are definitely a challenge for some on the autism spectrum. Shaun doesn't mean any harm, but others may not understand that.


Yes I definitely understand that. I was just curious if there was ever a doctor similar to Shaun. I know that the show is an adaptation of a Korean show but I wonder if that show was based on real life or just a dramatized version of it?

I'm sure there are plenty of doctors out there who are autistic and have had successful careers.

Are there any successful doctors with autism spectrum disorder?


The show may or may not be based on a real person, but it's certainly possible that there are very talented doctors on the autism spectrum who are practicing medicine. Savants like Shaun can do amazing things with their skills.


It is a fascinating show and I was completely taken with it the first couple of seaons. Now that we are in Season 4 however the show is a little choppy but I can't tell if it's because the writers are starting to run out of idea or because of limitations on what they are able to do like collaborate virtually instead of in person.


Communicating is probably a challenge. It may be challenging to come up with new plots and ideas with the new and different circumstances.


One of the creators of the show was the executive producer and creator of House, which was another medical show I enjoyed a lot. I can see why David Shore has such a love for creative characters.

Yes, he is very talented and I think he has a lot of potential as a writer.

"David Shore previous work as a writer and producer in television shows"


House and The Good Doctor have interesting similarities. Shaun and House both struggle with socializing and interacting with others for different reasons. It's a creative spin on the caretaking role of a doctor.


who does the best acting in film, Sam Rockwell or Kevin Spacey?


Definitely Sam Rockwell; he did an amazing job.

I agree, i think he is the best actor in film. he is a great actor and he is very talented.

"What are some of Sam Rockwell's notable film performances?"


I've never seen it but if you say you saw 50 times, I have to at least watch once.


Yes I recommend it; it's a slower paced movie but if you like good sci-fi, you'll enjoy it.

I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I do, but let's focus on you :) Do you have a lot of Rangers merch in your home?

That's understandable. So, what do you like to do for fun?

Where can I find a Texas Rangers fan club for autographs and memorabilia?


How is the team doing these days?


They are still just in Spring Training, but they have played well thus far.  They were second-to-last place last year, so I'm hoping they can do better than last year.


I see that you have a favorite book, would you like to talk about it?


Yes please - I read it often and like talking about it and want to know more.

"What is the significance of the protagonist's actions in the climax of the book?"


What kind of questions do you have?


How can we know that it is the Word of God?

Well, there are a few ways. First of all, the Bible is the inspired word of God. It was written by humans, so it is not the work of humans.

"What is the evidence that the Bible is the inspired word of God?"


Some think that the bible is because that is what is says and it counts for itself. Others think that there is sufficient evidence to back up the claims of the bible. What do you think?


I have experienced the truth of the Bible myself, and think there are many reasons that validate it.

I am glad you feel that way. it is good to have faith in something.

What are some reasons that validate the truth of the Bible?


So the truth is built in from God, and you can experience it.


Yes, and there are reliable historical claims that the Bible makes that have been backed up by other sources outside the Bible.

That makes sense. I'm glad you're so passionate about this!

What are some reliable historical claims made in the Bible that have been backed up by sources outside of the Bible?


Historical events documented in the bible line up with other accounts. But this kind of truth could apply to any book.


Yes. But it provides more validity. If the claims of the bible did not line up with other accounts we would know that it is not valid.

Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Francis McDormand, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton . . . it's got a great cast.


Wow that is a great cast! How many other movies has Wes Anderson directed that's been a big hit?


Tons. I'm thinking maybe his most well known movie is Royal Tenenbaums. His most recent move (I think) is an animated movie called Isle of Dogs.

No I believe that would be the 1986 mini series that was made for tv. There was 120 episodes and 4 seasons.


No, the 1986 version was only six episodes. Which one had 120 episodes?


you are correct. it started in 1986 and ended in 1989.

What is the plot of the movie Dreamchild?


Its about a girl from england that travels to the united states to recieve a degree from columbia.

"Where can I watch the movie with the fairy tale featuring the wolf and the actress mentioned in the dialog?"

That's wonderful. What other songs do you like from her? Do you like R&B in general or is something about her special?


I like her songs because she has a great voice and she expresses great emotion when she sings.

Yes, she is definitely a talented singer. her voice is very unique and she has a lot of emotion in her songs.

"What makes Hikaru Utada's voice unique?"


Have you ever seen her at a concert? The experience of a concert is great, I think. Concerts are infused with such a tremendous energy.


I have not yet have the luck to see her at a concert, no.

Well, maybe one day you'll get the chance to see her live. She's touring right now and I think you would enjoy it.


Have you heard any of her compilation albums? What about her guest features in other artists' albums? That she has produced albums in both Japanese and English shows how talented she is.


I have two of her compilation albums. I prefer her Japanese songs to her English songs.

I'm sure you're right. Her Japanese songs are very beautiful and poetic.

What are some of Hikaru Utada's compilation albums and guest features in other artists' albums?


Nice taste. It's neat that her mother was in one of her bands and her father was a musical producer. Her accomplishment is not just being a musician, but also being a role model.


Yes she is a great role model.

I'm looking for a place to skydive, do you have any suggestion?

Well, there are a few different places you could go. Are you looking for a place with a lot of people or a place that's more private?

"Skydiving locations with a lot of people"


Oh I have some options; Oahu in Hawaii; also Alaska is also good with its mountains; it has the most diverse terrain in the nation; you will need to leave Virginia Beach though.


I have never been there. I'll search about those places


Also since you like to skydive in Canada; I'll suggest Skydive Vancouver- 1792 Alberni St. I heard it is really cool there.


It's close for me. Have you ever skydive before?

Yes, a few times. It's an amazing experience. You should definitely try it sometime.


I have never skydive; but heard skydive Vacouver is the easiest most enjoyable intro to skydiving


Nice. I'll search it. Hope it's not expensive.

I'm sure it's not too expensive. skydiving is a lot of fun and it's a great way to see the world.

What are the prices for skydiving in Vancouver?


Not sure but I don't anticipate it being more than $200 at most


Yes, it's expensive. However if it's worth the money, it's ok for me

I think you'll enjoy it. skydiving is a lot of fun and you'll get to see some amazing views.

What is the cost of skydiving in Vancouver?


I believe it is worth it; heard they offer fantastic amenities; staff are friendly and their service is awesome


Very good. Maybe next month I can buy the tickets and go there.


I can't wait for the baseball season to start. The Yankees are looking pretty good and I can't wait for them to go for their 28th World Championship!

That's great! I'm a big fan of the Yankees myself.

"What is the current status of the Yankees team for the upcoming baseball season?"


Really? Why are the Yankees your favorite team? Who is your favorite player on the team?


I'm an old school guy and grew up in New York in the 70s and the only clear channel I got from my rabbit ears TV antenna was the channel WPIX which show the Yankees games. My favorite Yankee when I was growing up was Catfish Hunter.

That's really cool! I'm a big fan of the Yankees too. My favorite player is Derek Jeter.

Who were the players on the New York Yankees in the 1970s?


Lol. Old school you are. Catfish is not even alive anymore; died 1999; you don't have any current favorites?


My most favorite recent Yankees are Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. I respect those that stayed with the same team for their entire careers. On the current crop I like Brett Gardner even though I think he's been getting the short stick from management. He's a bulldog, got speed and doesn't make waves.

Yeah, I can see why you would like him. He's a great player.

Why has Brett Gardner been getting the short stick from Yankees management?


That's interesting; is Brett Gardner better than Domingo German


Well, unfortunately you don't get to pick your team. Personally I thought the team should have dropped Domingo after he was suspended but in sports talent talks a lot more. If Brett was involved in the same situation I've no doubt he would be gone.

Yeah, that's true. So do you think the Yankees have a good chance of winning the World Series this year?

"What are the current odds of the New York Yankees winning the World Series this year?"


That's true; their schedule for this year looks interesting. I bet tickets will be expensive; are you planning to go watch any of their games? Got tickets already?


I haven't decided yet. I was a season ticket holder when I didn't have children. Now that I do, I have to save up my money. I think I'll see how it goes this year and try to take in at least 5 or 6 games.


That's very wise; go for those you can; don't stretch yourself; prioritizing is very important; i know people go way overboard just to watch their favorite team play.


I used to be like that but once you start your family you gotta grow up and start thinking about other people ahead of yourself. The good thing is the kids are all in their teens so if I can scrounge up enough money maybe I can make it a family outing.

Cheaper, but I like La Vie est Belle

Yes, that is a very popular perfume. it is a very feminine scent.

What are some popular Lancome perfumes besides La Vie est Belle?


Who is your favorite rock band these days?


The beach boys is my favorite rock band.

They are a great band! I love their music.

What are some popular songs by The Beach Boys?


I love the beach boys! Brian Wilson was so talented. I liked Pet Sounds the most. What was your favorite album?


Smile was my favorite album of The beach boys.

I agree, Smile is a great album. It's so upbeat and happy.

What is the history of The Beach Boys album Smile?


Oh is that the legendary lost record I have heard about?


yes, maybe it. the music was so good

I agree, the beach boys are one of my favorite bands. they were so talented and their music is still popular today.

What is the legendary lost record of The Beach Boys?


Yeah, they are really good. I find it crazy that they did a song written by Charlie Manson back in the day.


yeah, exactly what i was thinking about.


Did you hear the song?


yes, i heard the song and it was quite interesting.

I think it's amazing that they were able to do that song.

What makes The Beach Boys song mentioned in the dialog so amazing?


Scooters are quite a popular mode of transportation! Especially in situations where parking is scarce!


Yes and I get fantastic gas mileage.  A full tank almost lasts me a month


The Bird Scooter App has been making waves across America. Bird offers riders an electric scooter to use for a very affordable price.


Oh I own mine, I would consider renting depending on how much it was

It's really great that you have a scooter, but i think it's great that you're also considering the benefits of renting.

What are the benefits of renting a scooter?


The cost of a Bird Scooter to rent is $1 plus 29 cents per minute that you ride it! Very affordable.


Not terrible, I wonder what kind of scooters they use.  I have a Honda.


Most Bird scooter models are Ninebot ES4 or ES2 created by Segway. Sacramento California most likely has man Bird scooters laying around the city.


Yeah I hope it doesnt become like the bike rental industry did in my town.  There are bikes literally everywhere until the city stepped in

I agree, it would be nice to have a more regulated way to get around.

What are the regulations for sharing electric scooters in Sacramento, California?


Unfortunately, many have been annoyed that Bird does not have docking stations set up in cities. This causes for their scooters to be dropped anywhere. Perhaps the city can regulate rental scooters and where to park them.


Yeah they definitely need to do that or the same thing will happen that happened to bikes at least here.

I agree, it's good to have a regulation in place to keep the city safe.

What do you think our chances of avoiding relegation this year?

Well, it depends on a lot of factors. The team's performance, the league position, and how well they play against other teams.

Factors affecting a team's chances of avoiding relegation in football.


Oh man not looking good! You need 6 points to even equal Bradford....and that still gets you to 23rd out of 24th. BUT with another two wins, you're up to 15th! It will be close. Have you gone to any games lately? Where are your seats?


I've got a season ticket for behind the goals, same place as I used to stand at Kingsmeadow. I guess there's 14 games left but even if we stay up do you think Joe Piggott is going to stay or will he look for a move in the summer?

Football team's chances of avoiding relegation.

I don't know, he's been pretty quiet lately. i think he'll stay if he wants to.

What is the current form of the football team in question?


Well I have no idea how long his contract is because they didn't say the length when he signed! He's so good though huh? Scored on debut, and he's fairly young at 27...in his prime. I think we have to do everything we can to hang onto him.


Contracts don't really matter though these days, especially if a bigger club comes in. Question is who do we try to sign to replace him.....

I don't know, there are a lot of good players out there. But I think we need to focus on keeping the best players on the team.

"What are some strategies for a football team to retain their best players?"


I wonder if we try and get someone from Sunderland, Accrington or Coventry. They all seem like great teams that score lots of goals...who do you think we'll get?


If history is anything to go by then some unknown on a free transfer from the national league I guess. We could do with a keeper as well, can't just hope to get a decent one on loan every year!

Yeah, that's true. Well, I hope you guys can stay up and make it to the playoffs!

What are some successful strategies for football teams to avoid relegation?


Who do we have in goal now? Is McDonnell our first choice or Shea? Or someone else?


It's Tzanev at the moment but has been Walker most of the season

Well hopefully we can get someone to step up and take over. It's been a tough season and I think we need to turn things around.

Who has been the primary goalkeeper for the football team this season?


Who is better do you think?


I don't know. Tzanev has never really played but has looked good in what little we've seen. Got to assume that Walker is showing more in training though


Have you ever had pizza bianca?  It's a white pizza with olive oil and no tomato sauce


Once but it's so rare to find it, olive oil isn't great either. It just leaves a horrible taste!


What kind of food do you like to cook and eat?


I love Thai food because a lot of it is vegan. What'd you favourite dish?

I love Thai food too! i haven't had a chance to try it in a while. i'm sure you would enjoy it.

"What are some popular vegan Thai dishes?"


I also love thai food! I had pad thai and beef satay for lunch yesterday.


What is your least favourite food? Do you like marmite?

No, i hate marmite! it's so gross and tastes terrible.

What are some foods that people commonly dislike?


I hate avocados and bananas.  I've never had marmite, it's too high in sodium for me.


How do you serve your avocados?

"Why are avocados and bananas commonly disliked?"


My wife made a smashed avocado toast with an egg.  It was so gross! Do you like avocados?


Yes I do but they're a bit fatty, why didn't you like it?

I don't know, it just tasted really gross to me.

What are some common reasons for disliking the taste of avocado toast?


They are so mushy. I don't like the texture

Last week I saw a beautiful red bird on my neighbors house and it was so cute!

Aww, that sounds lovely! What did you do with the bird?

What are some common types of red birds?


It could have been a ruby-throated hummingbird.


That would be cool. I love hummingbirds. But it was bigger than most of those I have seen. The entire bird was bright red with like a crest on it's head

What are some species of birds that are bright red with a crest on their head?


In that case it was likely a red-crested cardinal. They enjoy living in areas with shrubs or trees and enjoy warmer climates and can grow up to 19 centimeters long.


What does their beak look like? Is it really bright orange?

Yes, their beak is very bright orange and they have a long tail feather that they use to help them fly.

"What is the physical appearance of a red-crested cardinal's beak?"


No, they have a greyish bill. If you enjoy watching and identifying birds I would recommend investing in a bird encyclopedia or a phone app to help you correctly identify the birds you see.


That would be great. I saw this one really long white bird that seemed out of place. Its legs were so long I wondered how it's wings could carry them! I wanted to see what it was, but google wasn't very helpful

It sounds like you're interested in learning more about birds. I would recommend checking out a local library or bookstore that has a good selection of books on birds.

What are some good books on bird identification and species?


The only large white bird with very long legs that I have heard of is the white Ibis. They also have black wingtips and a long curved bill. If you are able to take a picture or sketch what the bird looked like you may have more success with an image search on Google.


Wait, would those be in Oakland? I think I might invest in a good camera. Are there any classes I can sign up for so I can learn about birds more?

There are actually quite a few bird watching clubs in the area. You could look into signing up for one of those.


The Bird Academy online offers many different courses on bird-related topics such as bird songs and behaviors.


I really enjoy building and painting small model cars.

That's great! I'm a big fan of model cars myself. Do you have any favorite brands or styles?

what are some popular brands and styles of model cars?


Do you like to use acrylic paint? I know the speed is fast in drying.


yes I do! it comes out looking nice and it's very easy to paint and correct.

That's great! i'm glad you enjoy doing it. it's good to have hobbies that you enjoy.

"What are the benefits of using acrylic paint for model cars?"


Do you ever use air brushing? I know it can give a great high gloss finish!


I have used it in the past, but I am not so good at it just yet. It also needs a clean environment, which I don't have yet.

Well, maybe you can try using a different type of paint or medium for your next project.

What are some alternative painting methods for model cars?


Do you have any tips on how to make your model cars look more realistic? I know that can be hard when it comes to plastic.


I think the the best thing is to use a nice clear coat. It really makes them shine. I even use a tiny polisher after it has been cured. It looks like real car paint!

That sounds like a lot of work! But it definitely pays off in the end. Thanks for the tips!


I like the AMT 1989 Batmobile model car. It has a turbine engine, computer decals and even dual machine guns. Plus, being all black, you don't spend tons of money on paint. Do you have it?


I don't have that one but that is such a classic! I have always wanted to try building it. i agree, going with one color is always cheaper

Do you have any other tips for building model cars? I know it can be hard to find the time to do it.


Another one that is a cool option is the 1967 Camaro. It is more for those that are advanced, but adding a dual exhaust or a roll bar, really does personalize it and make it look sharp.


Do you enjoy wearing plain or graphic T-shirts?


I enjoy wearing both types of T-shirts.

I wish I knew what the number one gaming computer brand is. I thought it was AlienWare but I am not sure.

Well, let's see. There are a lot of great gaming computer brands out there.

"What are some of the top gaming computer brands?"


I think it depends on what a person needs, usually Alienware is consider a top pick, but so are DigitalStorm, Lenovo, Origin, Falcon Northwest, and MainGear. What kind of gaming computer are you looking for?


I have had a Lenovo, and it was no good. At all. The bios had to update as soon as I bought it and it crashed the entire computer. What is a DigitalStorm? That sounds exotic!

It is a gaming computer brand that makes high-end computers. They have some of the best graphics cards and processors on the market.

What are the specs of DigitalStorm gaming computers?


DigitalStorm has been around for about a decade and well regarded for building custom rigs. Do you want a desktop or a laptop?


I want a laptop, but I have seen some really cool desk tops that are like the desk is the computer and the monitor just sits on top. Those are awesome. I just need it to be portable so that I can work on location and still game when I am in a hotel.

Well, laptops are definitely more portable than desktops. Have you looked into any specific brands?

"What are some top gaming laptop brands for portability and performance?"


Portability can be a game changer, if you excuse the pun! Look for laptops with a top end GPU if you can, even if you're sacrificing a bit on RAM. you can always upgrade the latter easier on a laptop, but something with a Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX.


Ok, that is great information. I am moving around so much for work, and my laptop crashed. I decided I want one that I will enjoy since I will be having to buy it myself this time! Which company has the best of those?

Well, since you are looking for a gaming laptop, you might want to check out some of the top brands in that category.

"What are the top gaming laptop brands?"


Some to take a look at with Nvidia RTX include: ASUS ROG Mothership, Alienware Area-51m, as well as Alienware m15 and m17. That gives you kind of two ends of the spectrum for pricing, where Acer might represent more value but a lot of people really love the brand. Of course Alienware is more well known for high quality, so might be worth the extra cost for nicer materials  in construction.


I love ASUS, I never saw them as a gaming type computer though. That is awesome. I might go with the Alienware though because it seems to be the top choice for everyone. I appreciate you for helping me today.

What are the top gaming laptops with Nvidia RTX graphics cards?


Glad to help, hope you find a gaming laptop that fits your needs so you can play on the go!

I love This Is Us, it's my favorite TV show. I look forward to it every week!

I'm glad you enjoy it! It's a great show. I've seen it a few times myself and it never gets old.

What are some interesting facts about This Is Us TV show?


It seems to be well received! Can you believe they're already gearing up for season 6 to be the series finale?


No I can't believe it and I'm so sad, I've been watching it from the beginning. It always makes me so emotional.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's such a great show though, I'm sure the final season will be just as good as the rest of the series.

What can I expect from the final season of This Is Us?


It seems like a show that really pulls at the heartstrings, especially dealing with Jack. Did you look nervously at your crockpot after that episode?


Yes, that part was terrible, it really made me think! I don't even think I've used my crockpot since that episode. Have you been watching it from the beginning too then?

Yes, I have. I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen it more often. It's such a good show.

What are some other TV shows that are similar to "This Is Us"?


Well at least it seems like the real Crock Pots are quick safe, so might be time to break out a good stew or slow cooked recipe. Too bad there isn't any other shows that do that time hopping and emotional arcs as well. Have you found any other shows that do that as well?


Not really, I haven't found a show to compare to that one, I will have to find another one though when it ends I guess. I just love how there are babies on the show now. And I am glad that Kevin is with Madison.

Yeah, it's great to see him happy and in love. I'm sure he'll be a great father.

What other TV shows have time hopping and emotional arcs like This Is Us?


One that seems similar is 'A Million Little Things'. did you ever watch that one?


No, but I saw the previews the other day and was thinking I might give it a try, it does look kind of good.

Yeah, I've been meaning to check it out too. Well, I should probably get going now, but it was nice talking to you!

What are some similarities between "This Is Us" and "A Million Little Things"?


It definitely hits the emotional side of things. It's about a group of friends who reconnect after a tragedy and try to move forward, and it has a decent size cast to be able to dig into.


Okay well that sounds good so I will set that one up to record and give it a try. That way maybe I won't be so sad when This Is Us ends. Thanks for letting me know about that show.

I'm not sure i understand what you're saying. i'm not familiar with the song.


I haven't heard it, I'll go check it out. How do you listen to your music usually? Do you use a vinyl player by chance?


I don't have one, but I want one when I buy a house. Right now I just listen on my phone or computer using youtube or spotify

That's cool, i've never really listened to vinyl before. i'm sure it's really great though.

What are the benefits of listening to music on a vinyl player?


I have "Leave the Door Open" playing on youtube right now. Sounds amazing! I wonder what are some of his inspirations? Michael Jackson, maybe?


Definitly, I saw on an interview that he is a huge MJ and James Brown fan. He has that old school soul. We don't have many artists like that around anymore.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's nice to hear someone who isn't afraid to experiment with new sounds.

What are Bruno Mars' inspirations for his music?


I don't know a lot about old school soul, but I definitely know it when I hear it. Did you see the movie Soul, by chance?


I have not, is it good?

"What are some popular jazz/funk artists or songs?"


Are you asking me if I have listened to jazz or funk, or jazz-funk (fusion)?


The latter, Jazz-funk fusion!


Not too much, actually. What is a band that I can look up and listen to in order to see what you're talking about?


You could check out casiopea, or t-square. Similar types of music, both being jazz-funk bands originating from japan.

Alright, I'll give them a listen. Thanks for the recommendation!

What are some jazz-funk bands originating from Japan?


Is Jazz-Funk usually only from Japan? Are you Japanese? I wonder if there are American Jazz-Funk as well?

Well, if you're not japanese, then you're not japanese.


Oh cool. I just listened to both the bands you mentioned, they are interesting. Does listening to it make you feel a specific way?

If you have not gone you might want to try going to La Ronde next time you are in Montreal. it is a great amusement park on a man made island.

You should definitely go and try it out!

What are the attractions at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal?


Have you ever took the funicular ride to the top of the Montreal Tower?


No we haven't done that. I'm afraid of heights, so that wouldn't be a good match for me. Janet and I keep it pretty casual, shopping, lunch and sometimes some gambling at the casino.

FC Barcelona are an amazing team aren't they, i'm glad Ernesto Valverde just revealed the 18 players for saturdays game, its a good line up i'm looking forward to it


That's right, the game of the Catalans is very beautiful and precise. Although some problems have arisen this year, Barcelona still has hopes for the title in La Liga.

What are some of the problems FC Barcelona has faced this year?


Yeh, they have some terrific players, Ernesto Valverde's contract has been extended and he is a great player so i agree that they do have a chance to win the League.

Yeah, it's definitely worth it to go to the stadium and watch them play. They always put on a great show.

Who are the two great players mentioned in the dialog and what are their statistics?


Yeh, im glad Valverde renewed his contract, there was a alot of controversy and debate over whether he would. He's a huge positive influence on the team.

I agree, he has a lot of experience and knowledge about the game.

Yes, it is! The season is just getting started. Are you a big baseball fan?

What are some important events during the baseball season?


Opening day should be made a holiday.  Who will throw out the first pitch?


The President of the United States. I think thats the norm. I may have to look it up.

It's a great tradition. i'm sure the president would be happy to throw out the first pitch.

"Who traditionally throws out the first pitch on opening day of baseball?"


Who every throws it, they will do better than Justin Bieber did in 2010.

Yeah, it was hilarious. i can't believe he actually threw the first pitch.

"How did Justin Bieber's first pitch go in 2010?"


It was described as high and floaty. Last year a famous doctor did reasonably well, for an academic.


I wonder why Trump never threw out a first pitch? Every other president did it.

I don't know. Maybe he's just not as good as the other presidents.

"Why didn't Donald Trump throw out a first pitch?"


Trump,  New York Yankees fan, has attended games.  Perhaps he was not asked. It is a nice bit of ceremony that marks the start of the MLB season.


What I found said he refused because he was afraid he would look fat. First president in 100 years not to do it.

Throwing out the first pitch at MLB games.

That is a bit of a stretch. i think he was just nervous about it.

"Why did Donald Trump refuse to throw out the first pitch at an MLB game?"


In the regular season in 2006 he threw out the first pitch in a Yankees game.  Maybe it was all the experience he wanted/needed.

If you had to choose between Gravity or Oceans 8, Which one would you pick?

All of my clothing has a ton of pockets. I'm ready for the apocolypse

I'm glad you're prepared for the apocalypse, but it's not necessary to have so many pockets.

You should probably get some that are fire proof if it's the apocalypse!


Those seem rare to find...well clothing that is stylish and fire proof anyway

I'm sure you can find some fire proof clothing, but it's good to be prepared. i'm sure you'll be able to find some that you like.

Thats fascinating, what brands or types do you favor? I've always liked skeleton watches.


I am a huge fan of watches with a story.  In particular watches that have been a part of a historic event. For example, the Omega Speedmaster was the watch that was worn during the moon landing. That to me, can never be topped.  Also a Rolex watch was worn the first time anyone reached the Summit of Mt Everest.

Wow, those are both really amazing watches! I can see why you like them so much. Do you have any other favorite brands or types of watches?

What other watches have been a part of historic events?


Wow. Why stop at 20? What's your favorite watch you own now?


I don't want to get too crazy! also it is an expensive hobby :D  .  My favorite is that Omega Speedmaster I mentioned earlier. It's such an incredible piece of engineering!

I can imagine. It sounds like you really know a lot about watches.

"What makes the Omega Speedmaster a great watch?"


How do you feel about complications? The patek phillipe calibre 89 has 33 of them!


As an engineer myself, I am in awe of what incredible things can be fit onto something that itself fits on your wrist. Patek Phillipe is a master timepiece maker, they really do make the craziest things! so expensive, though!

Yeah, I can imagine. Well, it was nice talking to you about watches. I'm sure you have a lot of interesting stories to tell!


You're not kidding. I just found out paul newman's rolex daytona sold for over 17 million dollars. That is an absolutely ludicrous amount of money to spend on a wristwatch. Do you think the guy wears it?


I highly doubt it. I would never wear it out of fear of putting a single scratch on it! I think that's too much. I keep all my watches under $10k.  If it's above that, I don't bother.


Wow. I dream of the day I can afford to spend 10 k on anything. You are a lucky person to be able to pursue this hobby.


I guess so! I am frugal in other ways and just spend on things I care about. I don't waste money on things that don't being me joy! I do save for a while before each purchase, so it's more about the process sometimes than the purchase itself!


I absolutely get that. The thrill of the hunt is


There's a battle field in Fort Texas called Palo Alto Battlefield

"What was the status of Texas during the time of the Palo Alto Battlefield?"

In the end it doesn't matter much. I just glad English is the only language I need to learn! I should learn Spanish though.

Yeah, it would be good to learn another language.

What is the history of the Palo Alto Battlefield?


What is a pro and con living next to a lake


The pro is swimming, the view, the people, the boating. This is all assuming you like the lake. The con it tourists and late effect weather.


I used to live next a lake too. It is nice to fish and boat in it but when it  poured. It used to flood my parents yard and front of our house


I hadn't thought of flooding! It doesn't happen where I am at the moment, but it does happen. Personally, I think I like a good size river better than the lake.

What are some of the most profound quotes from Final Fantasy characters?


The sly eagle doesn't kill at whim.


Ah I have never seen that one. I like it


It's awesome, right! Do you have any other favorite characters?


I tried cooking Gyros, a greek sandwhich/wrap a few weeks ago and they were so amazing. I have also cooked foods from other countries recently. I love finding out new and strange foods from all around the world.

That sounds like a lot of fun! what other kinds of foods have you cooked?

"What are some popular dishes from around the world?"


That is so awesome, what is your favorite recipe that helps you eat better today vs later?


Oh,  I don't know. My favorite herb is Parsley. It can be used  on ANYTHING, even when it is not called for. My favorite ingredients are white onion and fresh garlic. But I don't have a favorite recipe. I like trying out as many as I can so I rarely have the same food twice.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Do you have any other hobbies outside of cooking?

"What are some recipes that use parsley, white onion, and fresh garlic?"


Very Cool, do you think you could use them on folded pork cutlets? I went to allrecipes and found these are very tasty!


Oh yes. Parsley is a neutral flavor that is also good for your health. You can use it in things like regular chicken soup all the way to enchiladas, stuffed peppers, tiki masala, parmesan chicken, or anything from any other part of the world.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many uses for Parsley! I'm definitely going to have to try some of these recipes out. Thanks for the recommendation!

"What are some different ways to use parsley in cooking?"


very nice, you seem to have a very knowledgable grasp on cooking. I have heard that Parsley can be used for more than cooking as well, it's of course great for cooking but also has some ethnobotical uses as well. Talk about a diverse herb!


Yes it is! Onions and garlic are the same. Those three are a very healthy combo in any dish. Another thing I like to cook with when I can is honey. I do try to stick to local honey for the allergy benefits, but not all recipes can handle sweet. If I can't use honey, sometimes I will use lime and cilantro instead. They are widely used as well and work with most any flavors. Oh, and turmeric is also a great thing to use often!

Wow, you really know your stuff when it comes to cooking! It sounds like you have a real passion for it.

"What are some ethnobotical uses of Parsley?"


Oh wow i did not know that! Very cool! I've heard that Tumeric also has a lot of health benefits too. My co-worker said  it can even reduce health symptoms!


YES! It is amazing. I don't use it as often as the others because it does have a very distinct flavor profile. Yet, if you mix it with honey in some Mexican dessert recipes, it makes an amazing sweet chili taste in the spicy type desserts from that area!

Herbs and spices for cooking and health benefits.

That sounds delicious! I'll have to try that next time I make something spicy. Thanks for the tip!

What are the health benefits of turmeric?


that sounds so yummy, mexican desserts are really good. Do you enjoy  desserts with frosting and icing? or is that too sweet for you?
