hello, do you use netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, yes I do! Sometimes I use the hour long fireplace video at home. Do you like Netflix too?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love netflix, so many shows and movies in there. Do you remember blockbuster?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do! I wonder if Netflix and Blockbuster ever could have done a partnership or something like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well Blockbuster had the chance to buy it and passed on it. bad decision<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely a terrible decision, now Netflix has all these great selections. Last I checked they have almost 150 movies with perfect ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yesh for sure, and they offerd it to blockbuster for only $50 million<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would have been a steal for sure. I wonder how much Netflix pays their taggers, who have to watch and label the content.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm good question. Do you know how netflix came about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe they started off with DVD sales and rentals, and eventually transitioned into streaming media. I wonder how they improve technology from here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and then the owner of netflix was fine $40 for a late fee and got sick of it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's interesting how people get inspiration for things. IMDb is actually older than the first web browsers on the internet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is truly very cool. Did you know netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew that! I wonder if it's similar for other TV/movie platforms. Are you interested in cinematography in general?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I am. Do you know who pioneered the wide-angle cameras?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure actually, I know Nicolas Rehn was a pioneer in high-contrast cinematography to see what's happening on screen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The guy who pioneered it was the chinese-american James WOng<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ahh ok, it certainly must have been a significant achievement. Are you interested in film ratings? I use review sites a lot.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I like to refer to IMDb. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do too, although sometimes they can be inaccurate. Shawshank redemption wasn't very commercially successful yet it's one of their highest rated films ever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, you never know , right? Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there what do you think of planet earth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's a nice place. I've lived there my whole life. I'm pretty attached. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha ya me too, sad to think that 80% of the natural forests have been destroyed though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Only 20% more to go! We are a destructive species. Can seem to protect things that we need to survive. And we've been here just a short time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats true, if history were a 24 hour day, humans have only taken up about 1 minute of time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The day has been getting longer. It was only 5.5 hours. Soon it'll be so long that we'll have a 20-hour workday. I bet people will want more vacation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is wacky, will the day continue to get longer? like a 40 hour day at somepoint?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe in billions of years. Humanity will be long gone, having cut down all the forests and filled the oceans with plastic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is sad to think about, also sad we'll have run out of helium by the year 2100<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We'll get our helium from fusion reactors. Every kid can have party balloons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha well I hope so. It's pretty silly there is an ambassador to extraterrestrials at the UN, I want his job<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think you have to know somebody. It sounds like it involves few duties. Mostly waiting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha ya, lots of waiting and doing nothihng, have you ever ridden a horse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nope, never ridden a horse. Haven't eaten one either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha nope I have ridden one, I guess they evolved over like 50 million years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They went from multi-toed to single-toed. I guess they were more useful to humans that way.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I think so, they became really widespread about 3000BC, so kind of a long time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interspecies utility is interesting. Dalmatians are associated with firefighting because they would calm the horses.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that's nice of them. did you knw clint eastwood was allergic to horses?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, he acquired an allergy later in life. Very odd.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
would you ride a horse to school?<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Earth is amazing don't you think? So much history in its 4.5 billion years of creation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it is amazing! Not only the composition and history of earth, but also its position relative to other planets in the solar system.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, so many wonders to think we only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds on a 24 hour calendar of Earth's history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What do you mean?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I mean that if 4.5 billion years of histoy equals 24 hours then humans have only exist for 1 minute and 17 seconds of that 24 hour period,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow! That is really neat, time really does fly! I really appreciate these tech billionaire's efforts into space exploration, like Elon Musk and his bold initiative to start colonization in Mars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard he wants to build a supersonic vertical take off jet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Whatever that is, it just sounds super cool! I wonder how he finds time the to do all these things, he's the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, chairman of SolarCity. It makes me seem very unproductive<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know it seems like he wouldnt have much time, he is also an actor and producer, seems like he has more than 24 hours in his day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He is an actor and producer? I didn't know that, do you know which movies/TV shows he is involved with?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He's in a production called "Thank you for smoking"; I haven't seen it either though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That seems a little ironic for his recent ordeal with smoking marijuana during an interview with the host and was fined, I think. His wife or ex-wife also appeared in Christopher Nolan's film, Inception.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats Elon Musk's wife? I didnt know that! she is a good actress.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure which character she played, but according to the article, she appeared in it. I wonder if that movie inspired him to create any of his companies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Could be, so anyway, do you like horses?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, but I would never ride a horse to school like what two high school students did on the "no vehicles to school day", very creative though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, really creative for sure, I bet they got in a lot of trouble too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they were suspended, which seems a little harsh to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It does seem harsh but then again the horses could lose control and create a lof of chaos.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, especially if they had brought Icelandic horses, which have a fifth speed, called the tolt, which is a speedwalking unit for a horse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Can you imagine all the chaos? Another cool fact is that Clint Easthood is allergic to horses.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you? Do like horses?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey there I love horses. Even though I'm allergic to them they are still very fun to ride, what do you think<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You're allergic? Are you Clint Eastwood? LOL. I've never ridden a horse, but they seem like majestic animals.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish I were Clint Eastwood! But I never knew that Iceland actually has a specific horses with a fifth speed, other horses do not have this ability for some reason<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't understand the speeds. Trot, gallop, ??? What else is there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes its something called Tolt, I don't know exactly how fast that is though lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they have used horses there for many purposes. What do you think of the two high school students who rode their horses to school on 'no vehicles to school day', and got suspended?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think that was genius but pretty dumb that they got suspended haha. What do you think about Dalmatians? Do you know how they are related to horses<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know that they are used by firefighters. I heard that they were deaf or something.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes a lot of them are actually deaf. What do you think about Elon Musk by the way? I know that's a change of topic haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a change of topic. He is not a dalmatian, or a horse, or deaf. I think that he is ambitious and trying to create new technology. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he seems very smart and also very ambitious. I think he has a dog but it's not a Dalmatian though haha. His wife also appeared in the movie Inception by the way<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I thought he got divorced? Is he still married? She must be pretty.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he is still married. I'm not sure what she looks like though, did you ever watch the movie thank you for smoking by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I did. A long time ago. An interesting film. I like Aaron whatshisname.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I did like that movie, Elon Musk apparently produced it and I forgot that he acted in it too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'll have to check for that. He is a talented, intelligent guy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep absolutely. I love that he wants to create a vertical take-off jet, that also is electric, I think that would be cool I would love to have that haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
His ideas are astronomical. Anyway, great chat! Have a good night! Go watch Thanks for Smoking again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I'm going to check it out very soon, I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for Elon Musk haha. also I'll keep my eyes peeled for his rocket that will colonize Mars haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I will wait for Elon to travel on it first though before I go. Talk to you soon!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
sounds good, I'll be waiting for Spacex!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Earth never stops to amaze me, it was formed over 4.5 billion years ago and there is still much to learn about our planet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know what you mean. It is the only object known to have life and we need to know why that is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, we must find life in other planets if we want to survive as a species, its sad how 80% of the forests have been destroyed by now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is definitely sad and very troubling. It makes me wonder what will happen to the polar regions with all of the ice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Global Warming happened to them and if we dont start caring about our planet we might need to find another one soon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Already things are changing. Did you know that there will be no helium on the planet by the end of this century? Not only are we losing plants and animals but now we are losing elements.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that, I wonder how that will affect us, im sure it will have hidden consequences on life on earth and to think we account to only a small portion of earths history<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I imagine it will have consequences too. I've heard that when the earth was first formed a day was only just over 5 hours long. That would be weird. I guess that means the planet used to be closer to the sun?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it seems that way, or maybe rotated at a bigger speed, you know we have an embassador in case aliens arrive to the planet or try to make contact with us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that! That's actually pretty cool! I hope he or she is friends with Elon Musk. At the rate he is going, he'll find life before the government does. He's already planning a colony on Mars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Elon Musk is a genious, hopefully he is successful with his colonisation plan, he is also an actor you know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. I knew he co founded paypal but I had no idea he acted as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah apparently he acted in a thank you for smoking sketch, and his wife is an actress as well she was in the movie Inception<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Impressive. I like that he is into solar energy. He inspired a solar company and now it's part of Tesla.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He is looking into the future that is for sure, he also wanted to build a vertical take off jet for passangers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be different. I wonder if it would have benefits that the normal way doesn't. You know he thinks outside the box. When he wants to do something he just does it, like shooting a cheese wheel into space.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is an absurd way to waste money lol, shooting a cheese wheel into space! amazing but at the same time wasteful.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If you got it why not? He is worth over 20 billion dollars after all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess so, just seems like a waste with all the poor families and kids without homes in the world, to think Musk was born in 1971, he sure has taken advantage of his time on earth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He really has. I think he can be inspiring. I can see how it could be wasteful to spend money like that but on the other hand he shows people to just do what they want with what they have. It's a lot like Galileo back in the day building a telescope. To me it's a way to say give your imagination free reign and try stuff. Tesla is an electronic car company that he founded in the day and age where the big automakers dominate but he is giving it a try.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess his contributions to socitety are bigger, one day he will be remembered as Galileo and other historic figures.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you ever seen the movie Snowden<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not yet. I know that's about the whistle blower who escaped to Russia, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah founder of Wikileaks. You know they published the government's plans to destroy them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's right. I forgot that he found Wikileaks also. I didn't know that, but I recently learned that the government owns 86% of NV land.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a lot of land to be own by the government, what's their game plan, lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe Snowden knows! Apparently governments are to abide by governing principles that are to balance individual freedom and tyranny.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah sounds suspect. In 2006, the us passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva conventions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Also sounds suspect. Did you know that Albert Einstein was asked to be Israel's president? But he declined.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's deep. Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to invite Albert Einstein to the White House.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, and the letter was intercepted and then the invitation was declined by Flexner.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sounds like another administration i can think of.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Einstein was very involved in American politics. To this day, his estate earns $18 million annually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was born in Germany right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, but he was very worldly. He was also a member of the NAACP and he charged $1 for his autograph. All of that collected money was donated to charities.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well that doesn't sound too bad. This is strange though Albert einstein wrote a quote in 1938 and placed it in a time capsule to be opened in 6939.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
6939. I wonder why so far into the future. He was a scientist and developed the theory of relativity so maybe he saw something happening in this distant future.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe, thats too far in the future for me. It was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use after it was coined by the theologian, philosopher, and historian of science William Whewell in 1833.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Just a little too far ha-ha. And natural philosophy was a precursor of natural science.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They say that Harrison schmitt was the only scientist to walk on the moon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Einstein would have been in all his glory if he had the chance. And it would have been well deserved since he wrote to Roosevelt about uranium being turned into bombs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he did a lot more than what he's best known for mass energy equivalence formula E = mc2<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Eureka! He sure did. But anyway, I enjoyed our chat! It was very informative. I hope you have a great evening.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
you too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a science fan? did you know that the estate of Einstein earns more that 18,000,000 a year? Pretty amazing inventor!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do love science. There is so many cool things to explore such as computers or chemistry.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that Albert Einstein was born in Germany and is best known for for his equation E= mc2?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did know that. I find it intersting he wrote to Roosevelt about nuclear energy so long ago. We tend to think of it as a modern thing beyond the A bomb<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It seems ironic that scientist put men on the moon but Harrison Schmitt was the only one to actually walk on the moon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think astronauts need a different temperment than someone who works in a lab or engineering. There has to be a sense of thrill seeking that seems to be lacking in a lot of scientists.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So true. The world wide web was invented in 1989 by and english scientist working in Switzerland for a state funded research organization. . .How much it changed the world!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It really has! I think it has impacted our economy and countries in ways that are unimaginable. I wonder if they knew what they were inventing when they did it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am sure they had no idea! There were two geniuses that invented things without thought of how they were to be used Hertz and Maxwell. Had this thought that curiosity shoud drive invention<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think curiousity is a great thing. The internet sure has helped with that. Imagine the information we have access to now that generations past had so much trouble accessing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So often only governments and universities can fund the research for projects in science without an immediate need. It is kind of like an essay in Harpers magazine in 1939 titled "The usefulness of Useless Knowledge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If only that money was put to better use.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is a bit like the scientist Hertz that worked out electromagnetism. Macaroni, did very little of the science but he was credited with inventing radio!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think the pointless project funding goes back to entitlement spending. People start to think they can spend just because they want to.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that was on the tails of the industrial revolution. I think that know with spending out of control only endowed universities have the luxury of funding research without a product goal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The problems lie in the facts that it is doing nothing but driving us deeper into debt as federal funding goes to these pointless projects that are driven in the name of research for research's sake and has no practical value.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is so true now. In the days of the 30s, 40s, and fifties, the inventions such as dishwashers, air conditioners, and fax machines would drive the economy up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think if we were to address the cost of inflation and the realities of what our government has done to the economy vs what other countries are doing we would be in a better place as a nation in america.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think that we would have the luxuries in our homes and lives that we have now without scientist. as a sidenote, did you know that Einstein answered his own mail?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I could see that. He seemed like a very down to earth man for how brilliant he was.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That he could do that and earn the Nobel Prize for Physics shows that he was somewhat down to earth.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was a brilliant and kind man who impacted the science community in so many ways.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you follow the government?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A little bit, they own almost all of Nevada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep, they own 86% of the state which is crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They did test a lot of nuclear bombs there, so I don't think anyone would want those areas.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very good point. Did you know Wikileaks published the government's plan to shutdown Wikileaks?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but it is seems logical given the nature of government and Wikileak's nature to publish them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. A man in France once impersonated a government official and was able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I feel a little bad for the people that fell for it, especially the first one, he was so ashamed that he did not called to police.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. The Norwegian government once gave $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you think they will succeed ? I hope so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hope so too. Do you know much about Einstein?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know he was a scientist. Is he German ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep, he was German. He was once asked to be the president of Israel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Why would they ask him to be president of Israel ? He must have made a ton of money with all those posters with his face.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really sure. I also saw he was a member of the NAACP.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So he was actively for civics right, he seems a good man but a quirky one I have heard that he wrote something and put it is a time capsule that will be opened in 6939.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was a good man and very smart. That's cool about the time capsule. Did you know he would charge $1 for his autograph?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a lot for the time, what did he do with the money ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really sure lol. Seems a little bizarre. It was good chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good, but there are other interesting scientists to talk about like the emperor of Japan who is also a scientist.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's good. Take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
How do you think our government is doing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I think they are doing pretty good right now. What do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think so too, lots of drama with it, but as long as they are doing their job I am fine with it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For sure. I saw Wikileaks once published the government's plan to shutdown Wikileaks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is awesome, that is really sticking it to the man. I wonder if they released why 86% of Nevada is owned by the government<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a lot of Nevada they own. I bet there are tons of secret bases and things like that out there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am sure there has to be. It is all desert, but I am sure they are doing some crazy things there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet they are. In 2008, the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is something! I wish we did that but I think we donate billions already to other countries with aid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes we do donate a lot. A man in France once impersonated a government official and was able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is awesome! not once, but twice! Someone had to have gotten fired over it lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. Do you know much about Einstein?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know he was some super smart guy and scientist. I think his estate gets a ton of money still<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was very smart. Looks like his estate gets $18,000,000 annually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow that is a ton of money, literally! I wonder what for. I am sure he has a ton of patents<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet. Einstein was a member of the NAACP.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is awesome, he didn't discriminate. He lived during those times. I think he was asked to be the president of Israel also once<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's pretty cool. Did you know he charged $1 for his autograph?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is awesome! I hope he donated the money to charity or something. It was nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was good chatting with you too. Did you know the emperor of Japan is a scientist as well?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow that is pretty crazy stuff! What a smart dude! Enjoy your day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there! Do you think voting is important?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No today i don't, sorry i think it's all rigged.What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, sadly, I feel the same. Maybe the system still needs to be developed. Up until 1918 not all men in UK had the vote.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right i heard that. Did you know astronauts get to vote from space?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Neat! And in India they even set up a voting booth for one voter in area saturated with lions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Guess they did want him to vote. That sounds unusually cruel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if in India they vote what to name their garbage dumps. In Austin, Texas they voted to name theirs after Fred Durst.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is to funny, i wonder why? Another unfortunate fact is that 34% of black males will never have the chance to vote<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's sad. And a lot of eligible voters do not show up. The turnout for presidential elections has not reached 63 percent in the last 100 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! heres an interesting fact since 1900 the taller candidate has always won.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! So officials in Ancient Athens were appointed by lottery. They thought elections would cause oligarchy. And knowing the fact you just told me doesn't make me have faith in the system either!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It' supposed to be a formal group decision making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. We know it;s not.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you think they should add a none of these candidates voting option for all elections?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm on the fence about that. I know Nevada has it but i wonder what the benefits are beside knowing who voted and who didn't.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, there needs to be electoral reform, so that fair electorial systems are put in place.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right i'm with you. Did you know that one of the moons of Jupiter would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. Speaking of planets, I was sad when Pluto was deemed not a planet! I grew up being taught that it was!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know and then all of a sudden right! I hear they discovered building block for life some 455 light years away. I wonder how?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I'm not sure. And I always thought planets spun in a similar manner. Venus doesn't tilt so it has no seasons, and it also rotates clock wise unlike other planets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! Hey there a five planets in our solar system that can be seen with the naked eye.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Cool, I want to go out right now and see how many I can spot. Have a good night!<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Planets are pretty crazy if you think about it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they are. I am crazy enough to appreciate them though. What interesting facts about planets do you know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Jupiter's moon ganymede would be a planet if it orbited the sun, do you know any?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have heard that some planets dont have a tilted axis, and others spin on their SIDE. crazy, huh?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow, very crazy, what would earth be like spinning on its side lol. I heard Uranus rolls around the sun<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
URANUS? <chuckle> What a name! Yes, i wonder what is wrong with that planet besides its awkward name.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right lol! imagine a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at you, that is a real thing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that sounds like a terrible vacation. i would rather go that planet 455 light years away.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
right, I heard about that planet, it can possible sustain life right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It might. we should get Elon to get some people headed toward the thing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right, that could be his next venture. You think we will see a man on mars in our lifetime?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, we will, but how long can they be there? and what can they do that a probe cant?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a valid point, I am glad someone is spending money on it. Do you think the Space Force will patrol it lol?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Um, i dont know about the Space Force. Maybe? THe govt has 22 trillion in debt. it is not a popular idea at the moment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think our elected president will push it like the wall, are you a fan of him?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not really a trump fan. the wall is going to be in the next budget. about 8 billion. i think that the 2020 election is going to be interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think so too, I wonder who he will run against. I think if he wins it will show it was rigged again, but that is my opinion<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The democratic field is a jumble now. it is unclear how the dems will come up with someone to run against an incumbent.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, there seems like there is already 20 running and I have only heard of like 4 of them. I need to research more. It was so nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It has been great! Im glad that the system is up again! Have a good evening!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am too, I hope it lasts! Have a good evening also!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, did you vote in the last election?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, how are you? Which election? 2018?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The 2016 one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I did vote. Did you vote?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes of course. Did you know the indian government put a poll in a forested area full of lions for a single voter?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess the gov't needs to make sure everyone has a chance to vote. The US is different. The voter turnout for presidential elections hasn't exceeded 62.8% in the last 100 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I cannot believe more people do not get out and vote, teally<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They probably feel that their options are poor. Except in Nevada.Nevada is the only state to have the "none of these candidates" voting option for presidential elections<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to have that option really. Did you know astronauts vote from space?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I figure they have the right. I wonder what percentage of astronauts actually vote.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe all of them I hope. even in uk not al men had the right to vote until 1918<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe you needed to own land, or have a title or something. I wonder if the same rules applied to women.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am not sure, but glad we all get to vote now. Did you know in atlanta 34% of the black male population cannot vote?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds like the South. I wonder what would happen if a basketball player ran for president.Since 1900, the taller candidate has won the us presidential election 75% of the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is an interesting one. In ancient athens officials were appointed by lottery<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess they didn't want rich people to have power. Randomness changes things up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess, but it seems it worked well for them. Do you know much about the planet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The one that I'm on right now? Sure, I know a few things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well all of them I guess Like that planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mpg on 2000 fahrenehit weather<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think you'd better bring an umbrella. Anyhoo, thanks for the chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
same here, have a good one<end_of_turn>

What did you think of the article about the shootings in Parkland<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I thought it was very thoughtful and sad about all the mass shootings around in FL and Las Vegas<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I thought it was sad too. It's a shame that people have to resort to shooting students as well as teachers. It's not even safe to go to school anymore<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish there could be non-polarizing discussions on it between society and politicians<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There needs to be a conversation about it. Maybe it will reach out to people and the shootings will stop. Parents shouldn't have to worry about what's going to happen to their children when they send them to school.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess it's important to vote for politicians who care about the people they represent and not lobbyists or the party line<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. All certain politicians care about is money.They don't care about what is best for people. If they did, things would be better and maybe the violence would end.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, in ancient athens officials were appointed by lottery to avoid an oligarchy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe that should be done here in the U.S. Most likely Trump wouldn't be in office if the elections was done by lottery.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, unfortunitly voter turnout hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years so that may be why the country is in such bad shape<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You're probably right. Some people feel like their vote doesn't count so they don't bother. Then again, maybe the taller candidate won as the article claims. That does explain how certain people are elected<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Nevada has it right with the option "none of the candidates" as a voting option<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they have it right too. It gives you the option not to vote for people you don't think are good enough to be in office<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
People vote for interesting things, Austin TX voted to rename their garbage dump to Fred Durst<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They really do. I wonder why they wanted to name it after him. I also wonder why all men couldn't vote until 1918<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know, I also don't know why there are polling booths in forests filled of lions in India<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know why there are polling booths like that either. It also never occurred to me that astronauts can vote from space<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's nuts. Jupiter's moon ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is. I find it strange how venus doesn't have seasons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, Uranus is strange too since it rotates sideways<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. That is very strange. Just like the planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Shards of glass and 2000 degree weather, sounds fun<end_of_turn>

Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm great! How are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, thanks! How is your smelling ability<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's pretty good, on par will most. I still can synthesize my own vitamin C.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
How is your hearing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hearing is pretty good. Like most humans, I have excellent distant running abilities. Well, maybe I used to.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans! That seems weird...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's 13 hertz, very low, below our threshold of hearing. Causes fear because I think it's like an earthquake sound.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Reallly??? That's impressive knowledge! Do you know anything about ribs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've read that they grow back stronger after they get broken, but I haven't tested that out myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. I know if you smoke them with BBQ sauce for 2 hours on 180 they are delicious...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That a good tip, but they probably won't heal well after that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I am not good for the healing portion of ribs. I am on the other side of the healing line. I wonder how many ribs a black swallower fish can eat...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Times times their weight? They would get kicked out of the smorgasbord.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah! They would do some damage... I wonder how they would consume water?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know whether they are freshwater or saltwater fish.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would make the difference. I kknow they do not have necks...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The humble seahorse is the only fish to have a neck. But it's not immortal!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Is there anything that is immortal, besides Hulk Hogan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is a breed of jellyfish that's immortal. Probably goes by the nickname "Hulk Hogan."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
HA! Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
It is amazing how a certain scent can ellict specific memories from throughout your life isn't it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, I can catch a faint smell of something and be reminded of something from 20 years ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, like a summer rain always reminds me of walking through the woods as a boy. It's too bad we can't replicate those scents and be reminded of our childhood all of the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've never thought about it, but I suppose we don't have names for smells, just where it comes from.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true I refer to a damp basement smell as moldy but why not refer to the smell of onions as 'yuk'?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's difficult to imagine having names for each smell, as we have for colors. I'd think there were too many.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, but imagine if the defining term could relate to the listener not only what the smell was precisely but perhaps even it's location. Maybe other languages allow for more descriptive labels.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I suppose if you have to survive, partially because of your nose, it makes sense to be very specific.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would think so. I suppose it has validity to convey something with just one word that lets everyone know everything about it. I think it might be difficult if you were to use a smell word with someone who had never smelled that scent before.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Semaq Beri speakers take it seriously, especially with the brother and sister thing. They'd struggle in the city.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ha! They would indeed. It is funny how different cultures have taboos that make no sense to anyone but them. Whenever I smell a certain perfume I find myself back in time to my school days and the girl I used to love.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess we have the ability to use our noses in the same way, we just don't have the need. There's not the peril for us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. Not many wild predators around to threaten us. It might be interesting to know their names for smells and try to correlate them into our culture, would they mean the same or not.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It seems it very specific to what you do, like the difference between horticulturists and hunter-gatherers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and culture. If I say to you that an object smells like (.......), you would in all likelihood have a very good idea of what I'm referring to based on shared experience.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Avoiding mixing odors seems very extreme, I can't imagine cooking at home if I have to use different burner for each meat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would indeed be a hardship. When I cook I'm always using the simplest most direct way to get fed. A lot of the time that involves a can and one pot.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder what they'd make of some of the exotic cuisines like Indian, Thai or Vietnamese cooking.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They would be adding to their dictionary I think. Some smells give me the willies, like fish. I hate the smell so whenever I walk into someone's home that has been cooking it I get sick to my stomach, so maybe they are on to something when they don't mix odors.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of fish, did you know there was an immortal jellyfish?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that but wonder how they determined it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I guess there is no way to prove it. A lot easier to prove a seahorse has a neck<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. Maybe the jellyfish in question regenerates itself constantly so they just infer that it's immortal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Another surprising fact is the burning of books by the FDA, I thought the US was against censorship<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did too. What was the subject matter and when did it happen?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have no idea, I'd guess the thirties or fifties. Some kinds of novels with problematic themes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably of a sexual nature. Many people seem to think that leads to corruption.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, it was good speaking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello! Do you like to read?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, yes I like to read both Fiction and not fiction, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm into non-fiction more than anything. I wonder what types of books the FDA burned back then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, they really did a big act of censorship, it was six tons of books<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is one big stack of books! I wish I could have watched the olympic events of literature back in the day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is right along with music and painting!! And it was until last centuries!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is so crazy! I didn't even know romantic kissing was a fairly recent development in literature! Where have I been!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, And it was not mentioned frequently in greek literature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Those stories were still amazing though even without that haha. I wonder if they ever wrote about humans losing their body hair 240,000 years ago?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL who knows!! but I found crazy that there is a contest to come up with the worst opening sentence of a novel<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure there have been many dandies! I bet Winston Churchill wasn't in that since he won a nobel prize in literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he did not earn a peace nobel prize!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You would have thought that is what it was for! I sometimes wonder what sound frequency causes fear in us?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, I guess they use those frequencies in suspense and terror movies! but did you know we could re-grow a rib<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is crazy that we can! I wish we could regrow hair lol, and vitamin C but we can't, but everything else can!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be awesome! The rib we could grow in 2 to 3 months, there must be something to regrow hair, we just have to discover it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree! We need to get on the immortal life like a breed of jellyfish is!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is amazing! and about sea creatures, did you know only the seahorse has a neck?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is hard to imagine with all of the breeds out there, but very cool! Fish are just crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that there is a difference how fresh water and salt water fishes drink water?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Isn't it something with osmosis? I'm going to look more into that. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
How familiar are you with the hunting and gathering culture people used to have?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not too familiar, Although I've read a bit from researcher Nicole Kruspe discussing odor.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Although our sense of smell may not be as developed as some species, odor played an essential role in our survival. However, odor is unique in that people don't name the specific odor itself, but rather what it reminds us of.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. Western scholars dismissed scents as unknowable, or at least unnameable for millenia.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, but recent studies by Majid found that the Jahai, who are hunter gatherers still, are able to identify these odors by abstract names. It seems that these hunter gathers & horticulturalists can identify odors, unlike the rest of their world due to their unique cirucmstances.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, Kruspe and Majid propose that, when people settle into, say, horticulture or postindustrial society, other senses become relatively more important than smell.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
McGann states that this ability to distinguish the differences in odor receptors would play a greater role in a more natural, wild environment than the secure urban areas that most horicultural people live. While distinquishing complex smells may save a hunter/gather's life in the wild, it would be as much a life or death situation in most instances in an urban setting. In fact, simple odors like smelling sulfur are enough for most people to avoid dangerous situations.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that Humans (taxonomically, Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I recently read that the defining characteristics of Hominina are bipedal locomotion, high dexterity, complex brains, and complex language.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Early hominins‚ particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes‚ are less often referred to as "human."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, but because evolutionary development is progressive, it is diffiult to define cleanly where it is apes stop being apes and became humans instead. Considering some of these early hominins were capable of using fire, displaying high intelligence, I believe they should still be consider humans or at least an early precusor.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, they gave rise to anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 315,000 years ago<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Rather than simply anatomy, I believe the social behaviors and communication is what distinguishes modern human. While most early hominins were capable of using tools, homo sapiens were able to use societys for protection and use their advance communication to capture even the most abstract of concepts for the exponential accumulation and spread of knowledge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that If earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I only happened upon that information on a Did you know? video. What advantages do you believe allowed us to dominate within this small window in history?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Advantages that explain this evolutionary success include a relatively larger brain with a particularly well-developed neocortex, prefrontal cortex which enable high levels of abstract reasoning and language<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Although early hominins have similar adaptations, what do you believe made us stand out and survive while the others didn't?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A silly one is that Humans are the only mammals that can't breathe and swallow at the same time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What purpose do you think this serves? Is it to seperate the lungs and stomach to prevent drowning or getting food in the lungs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Perhaps so, although such adaptaptations would be more likely to occur as gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits came to land.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of fish, I recently learned that it is negatively labeled as a parphyletic group and not a formal taxonoic group since the classification isn't as clear as perhaps mammals.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Fish are pretty amazing. There was a koi fish named hanako that lived for 226 years Thanks for the chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like fish?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I love fish (at least eating it). I find it funny that freshwater fish only "drink" water through their skin via osmosis, while saltwater fish also drink water through their mouths.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to eat them too, and that is funny, have you heard of the black swallower fish before?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, I've heard that they can eat prey twice their length and ten times their weight, so they must be quite strong.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree and also a scary species, they seem like quite the predator<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, for sure! I also found it interesting that a seahorse is the only fish to have a neck. I didn't even know it was a kind of fish.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The only one? reallly? that is suprising I though most fish had a neck<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Actually, I think what we take for a fish's neck (I've made this mistake also) is not really a neck, but more the area where their gills come out. I find it interesting also that 84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human diseases have counterparts in the zebrafish.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sounds like a fish we have to study a lot more closely, they can be the solution to many of our health problems and the immortal jellyfish<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, for sure! It's kind of funny actually, because they said that in humans, that if a human has a rib surgically shortened, that he/she can regrow a rib equally as strong as the original within only 2-3 months.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Humans are just amazing, we adapt for persistnace and we are the best distance runners in all the animal kingdom<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, for sure! Humans do have their downfalls though, because they cannot synthesize their own vitamin c like animals and plants can.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess its a great thing we know how to appy science,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, for sure! One thing that humans have going for them however is their creativity. Did you know that there is an annual literature contest that challenges writers to come up with the worst possible opening sentence to a novel? That's really funny.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know that, do you like to read? it does sound like a funny contest<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I love reading. It's kind of funny, because architecture, literature, music, painting and sculptures were olympic events from 1912 until 1952. I don't know why those would be considered sports, but that is quite interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is interesting, never considered as sports either, do you know who Winston Churchill was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, he was the British Prime Minister during WWII and in 1953 he won a nobel prize, ironically though, it was in literature and not peace.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know him as much of a writter but I haver to read some of his novels and works<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, he sounds like an interesting guy. It's kind of curious though, because it has been said that romantic kissing is a fairly recent development and is rarely mentioned even in ancient greek literature. How can they explain Romeo and Juliet then? That one had a lot of kissing on the lips.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah one that ended with two deaths and poison, hope you have a nice night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there,, do you have a favorite instrument?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi there, I do I love the guitar and the piano. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I love the piano too. Once the BBC played music as they felt they did not have important news<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is impressive. Freddie Mercury and McCarthy also played piano too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and they played the same piano once, freedie for bohemian rhapsody and mccarthy for hey jude<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice that is pretty cool. Have you heard of circus galop?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is the stress testing song for pianos that humans cannot play<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is a piano that sits on top of the highest mountain in the UK<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh that must be the one that the climbers found when they were hiking up there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that is the one. Do you ever shop online, like on Amazon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do actually. Did you know Jeff built a clock on a mountain?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years. AMazon owns IMDB, pretty cool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They are everywhere now. And they have a deal with US Postal Service to deliver on Sundays<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is so convenient. And their workers seem to be really busy all day long<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they can walk anywhere between 7-15 miles, that is a lot of steps<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sure is. Have you ever bought from AmazonBasics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have, I know they are supposed to be on the lower end but I find their stuff to be pretty good too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, it is pretty good. The first guy to buy on amazon got a building named after him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes and all he had to do was spend less than $30. What a contribution<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah pretty awesome for him. Do you like animals?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do, my favorite are dogs but I also like others like cats, snakes, elephants and such<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello Friend, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, I'm a hugh Yankees fan, I never knew a 17 year old female pitcher once struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig then got banned, sounds like they signed her<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, did you know that baseball managers were uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that was the reason why managers wore uniforms but I've heard of mangers playing in the game on rare occasions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, did you also know that a man found $3 Million worth of 1900's baseball cards in his grandfather's attic hidden there since the 1940s?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No that's crazy, I wonder if they had cards of players on the 1908 World Series winning Cubs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That could be. Did you also know that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, that's an odd name. Did you know in baseball if a player catches a ball in their hat the opposing team gets three bases instead of being out?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool. Did you know that after the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series, over 5 million people celebrated in the streets, making it one of the largest gatherings in human history?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No but I'm not surprised, it had been 108 years since the Cubs last won a world series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and the Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series, and didn't win again until 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew the Cubs used to be named the Orphans, I wonder why they were called that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure but I know that the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves are the two oldest teams in the major league baseball, both having been founded the same year as the Battle of the Little Bighorn.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting, I never knew the Cubs had pitchers with 4 and 6 fingers on their pitching hand, I wonder if those features gave them an advantage<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure but in 1945, the Chicago Cubs baseball team was "cursed" when the stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis stay in a World Series stadium with his smelly pet goat. The cubs did not play in a World Series again until 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol, spooky. Did you know that the Dodgers lost the most world series than any other team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, did you know that as of 2018 the World Series has been contested 114 times?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and the AL has the edge with 66 victories compared to the NL's 48<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Fascinating. Did you know that in the 1992 World Series that the US Marine Corps color guard carried the Canada flag into the stadium upside down?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol no, maybe the US marines were trying to get into the Toronto Blue Jays head<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That could be. Nice chatting and have a good night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, do you like baseball/<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hai. How are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know why baseball managers do wear their uniforms during a game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes... same dress code to baseball managers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, if there is a need they will have to play, I have never seen that happen!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh...why are you saw that happen<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did play kickball when i was a child did you play as well?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh really nice.. I am play football...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Intersting. In canada kickball is called, soccer baseball, I think it makes sense!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes.. I think sports are giving knowledge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know baseball is really popular in japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes.. I know.. But i don't know about baseball. Are you explain about baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, baseball is a really fun sport between two teams, the offensive , who are the batters and the defensive who are in the field.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh...very nice explanation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Then the batter team, once they get to hit the ball, they run the bases and If they complete the bases, they score a run<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow...very interesting game. I will try to play baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, i agree is a lot of fun to play baseball and also to watch the world series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ok... That game was really fun... I am also watch the baseball world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
it is exciting because it consists of a seven game playoff, so it is not just one night, you get to extend the enjoyment many nights<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh... I definitely play and watch the baseball game. It's really very interesting...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well you are right. I hope you have a nice day!<end_of_turn>

Have you heard of Doug Harey?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wasn't he an umpire for the MLB?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes he just died at 87 years of age.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess he was a big deal, and he lived quite a while. He'll be missed though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He must've been an interesting character to earn the nick name 'God'.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was one of those umpires that knew what he was doing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yup, he earned his spot in the hall of fame after calling 4,673 games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And five World Series, which is a big leagues in the MLB. He wasn't intimidated by anyone, it seems<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was around to see some of the first world series that first started in 1903.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's incredible! Do you pay attention to baseball much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I did when I was younger but lost interest. How bout you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Every once in a while. It's one of those sports I would rather play than watch. The Japanese are such big fans of baseball that they would probably take the name "national pastime" from the Americans if they could<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea they are usually surprised to find so many americans like it too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Enough that people used to collect baseball cards. One man found a collection in his grandfather's attic that was worth three million dollars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats a lot of money. are any managers cards worth anything? they do wear the uniform after all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably only if they step in and play the game. I've never seen any of them do it, but that would be an interesting thing to see<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that would be fun to see, like the cubs winning the championship after 108 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It would be fun to see them all play kickball sometime. In Canada, they call the game soccer-baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont think a couple would schedule all 2430 games throughout 24 years for soccer baseball. like one couple did for baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They might if the game got enough sponsors. They could even play it in extreme conditions like in the snow or on ice. Wearing hockey skates<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
People would watch it just for the sake of getting together.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey how are you doing, ever have problem with the dust fallout while having your wood floors finished?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Never, lol. have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I haven't but if you were wondering, it's best to clean everything before you do so there is no dust to begin with.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a good point, start off on the right foot. I wonder if you can buy products on amazon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure you can, might be more than $27.95, that was the amount spent by the first customer on Amazon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard that person got a building named after them, that would be awesome, and definitely worth the 28 dollars. I can't believe Amazon started in 1994<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, started as a book store. The USPS has a contract to deliver Amazon packages on Sunday. You think Amazon is getting too big?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Amazon has gotten so big, but I think in a good way. I just hope they turn into a monopoly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, they kind of already are. Or at least selling all that cheap stuff kind of hurts the market overall. The warehouse workers work a ton, between 7 and 15 miles a day they walk.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I couldn't imagine walking that much per day. I would be in the best shape of my life. Did you know that amazon has another site that sells their returned goods at a discount<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was not aware of that, what it is called? Amazon owns IMDB too, that's surprising.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know what it is called, I want to check it out lol. I don't mind getting an even bigger discount on amazon goods. I wonder why the own imdb<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yah, it's just out of box stuff usually. Did you know there are no snakes in New Zealand?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
New Zealand sounds like the place to be, snakes scare me lol. I don't get why some snakes give birth and some lay eggs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yah, they're pretty messed up, it is interesting to know that the fear of snakes is engrained in our brains.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
snakes are crazy lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Truly, very crazy. I'm surprised Crocodiles are more closely related to bird than snakes and lizards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would never have guessed that. I wonder what the relationship is<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really sure, maybe closer to dinosaurs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea I think that is it, they say dinosaurs had feathers like birds lol, that would be interesting to see for sure!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, it was great chatting with you. I hope you have a good rest of the night, take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am, I love the game! What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't mind it. Do you know why managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, because they are technically able to play for their team if the need arises. I don't recall ever seeing one play though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's correct. I've never seen it happen either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that up from 1981 until 2005 a married couple actually scheduled all 2,430 major league games played each year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! That's some serious devotion to the game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is. I find it fascinating that baseball is so popular in Japan. I remember watching games when I was stationed there and the crowds were amazing, even for small local games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I had heard that it was so huge over there that they are surprised that it is our past time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you ever collect baseball cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I collected them with my dad when I was a kid. I wish I could have found a collection like this one man did. He found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfather's attic. They had been hidden since the 1940s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! That's amazing. I wish I came across something like that myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you know that kickball is called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not. That seems like an overly complicated name.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Poor Canada though, in the 1992 World Series, Marine Corps color guard carried the Canadian Flag into the stadium upside down.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh no! That was a major error. Did you know that until their recent win the last time the Cubs won the world series the Ottoman Empire still existed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep that was such a huge win for them. I heard over 5 million people celebrated in the streets!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I can see why. They were also the first team to win back-to-back world series but then didn't win again until the recent one which was a huge gap in between wins.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The team was supposedly cursed in 1945 when stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis bring his goat into the stadium.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a very strange superstition for them to have. It was nice chatting with you. Have a lovely night.<end_of_turn>

How's it going, do you follow baseball? The Nationals recently traded Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams to the Cubs<end_of_turn>

I don't follow baseball much, but I do think I heard something recently in the news about how the Cubs won over the Phillies? It's so confusing when they trade players for me to follow!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, I guess the manager Martinez isn't doing too good in Washington and traded them away<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think the Cubs have been having a lot of trouble with their player's health. I hope they can turn it around and have a good season!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe, but the Cubs haven't been too lucky since they started in 1903<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I've heard about that...are they the team that one back to back and then haven't won another World Series since then?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Cubs didn't win until 2016, they beat the Royals I believe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oops meant won not one. I remember a long time ago they lost in a famous World Series game to the White Sox. I'm glad they won recently, as it's been a long time!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, When the Cubs won 5 million people celebrated in the street, they have been waiting a long time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet that was one of the best baseball celebrations ever! I heard that Ronald Regan was a broadcaster for the Cubs in the thirties. He had a very interesting life!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, wonder if he called the infamous Billy Goat game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How do you play that? I heard that when the Cubs first started playing baseball they were the Chicago Orphans. I wonder what the story behind that is, though?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, the Cubs were founded the same year as the Battle of Little Bighorn so maybe it has something to do with the times<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a fun fact! I also hear they're called the North Siders because of where Wrigley Field is and The White Sox has their field on the South Side of Chicago. Have you ever been there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No but I'd love to visit Wrigley field, it is one of the most historic baseball parks<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hear that it's a really nice place and the culture is cool there too. In example, when the visitors hit a homer into the bleachers the cubs fans throw it back into the field! lol I'd like to see that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
THat's pretty crazy. I heard Japan has a crazy baseball culture too and are shocked to find out baseball is America's pasttime<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard of that and wonder what the food is like at a Japanese baseball game. Do you think they'd serve both sushi and hot dogs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably, I wonder if Japan has baseball cards like in the US, a guy once found 3 million dollars worth in his grandfathers attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds like a really cool find, especially if you know the right baseball card collectors. I think I'm gonna go collect some dinner. TTYL!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there! How's it going? Are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi. I'm doing very well thanks. I'm do watch baseball on occasion and I'm a casual fan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you root for a specific team? Long-time Yankee fan over here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You probably won't like this but I'm Red Sox fan. I heard that Eric Hosmer signed with the San Diego Padres for $144 million in an eight year contract.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha you're right I don't like the Red Sox. Yes I believe the Hosmer contract was last year. I think that's going to end up being a bad contract.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too. I think its too much money for a player that has proven himself. He is a 28 years old and he plays in the first base position and he did very well as a Royal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
By the end of that deal he will be in his mid to late 30's and nowhere ear as good. Definitely an overpay. Not as crazy as those Machado and Harper deals for over 300 million though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No nothing like that. He has won 4 Gold Gloves in his career and I will like to see him in a Red Sox uniform.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true the Red Sox only weakness now is 1st base. Who's their starting, Mitch Moreland?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You are correct. I also heard that Hosmer will be making $20 million over each of the first 5 seasons with the Padres.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's smart to front load it. It's crazy how much these guys get to play baseball. It's not even as physically demanding as football, basketball or hockey.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you completely. Those sports are way more physical than baseball. Did you know that the Dodgers have lost more world series championships than any other baseball team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They've been around so long, it makes sense. I think they lost a lot of them to the Yankees. It's funny prior to the cubs just winning recently the last time they won before that the Ottoman Empire still existed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ha Ha!! The Dodgers are bad. They were crushed by the Red Sox<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hate how good Mookie Betts is. I think the Yankee's will give the Red Sox a run for their money this year though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe that to be the case. The Yankees are very talented club and always gave a hard time to the Red Sox whether we played them here or at Yankees.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you been to Fenway Park? I actually saw a game there on a trip to Boston. It's a really cool stadium.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have been to Fenway Park a few times and its really nice and especially when we play against the Yankees. I think the Padres will be fine because their ownership is investing .<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I don't know if you heard, but the Padres did just sign Manny Machado this year. I think his contract was like 300 million for 10 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You're correct. They are building the team and I think they will do well in the long term but as far as them making it to the World Series, I'm not too sure about that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think they have the pitching yet. That's so important for winning the World Series. Anyway it was nice chatting with you, enjoy the rest of your day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You're correct. It all comes down to exceptional pitching to make it to the World Series. I was very nice chatting with you today as well. Have a nice day!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Take care.<end_of_turn>

hello, do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, it is my favorite sport. Do you watch?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I watch it from time to time. Do you know why the managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they are technically allowed to play.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, good for them, do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, do you play kickball? I did for fun a few years ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not play it but apparently in Canada it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Awesome, I've only been to Canada once. Have you been?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I have friend there so I go all the time. Nice country and nice people<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Awesome. Did you know Baseball is super popular in Japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and they cannot believe that in the US is just a pastime?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, that's awesome. The Cubs were the first team to win back to back world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice, good for them. Do you know who used to do the schedule for major baseball laegue<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, do you? Apparently the Ottoman Empire was still in existence when the Cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow that means it goes way back then. Yeah it was a couple who did it for 24 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, that is crazy. Apparently the cubs had a player with 6 fingers, doesn't seem possible.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is so interesting indeed. Did you know the women's cup had higher ratings than the world series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can believe it. Some of the games can be boring if you aren't a fan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is very true. When the CUbs won in 2016, 5 million people celebrated i the streets<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that must have made a huge mess. They were the first team to win it back to back, but then didn't win again until 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And the largest in history. Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

Hi. Can you play the piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can play some, I have an electric piano that I keep plugged in in my room.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats really cool, I can play a bit, but spend more time with other instruments. Did you know Freddie Mercury used the same piano for Bohemian Rhapsody that McCartney used for Hey Jude in the recording studio?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's really cool. I wish the news would play piano instead of news these days like they did back in 1930.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know. It would be far better than the slanted views they all put out today. Id actually enjoy that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you like Amazon? I have Amazon prime video and it with Netflix is all I really use for tv these days.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love amazon! Love how quickly they can get things out, even on sundays<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe I should get a job in one of the Amazon warehouses, sounds like a good idea to lose some extra weight since they walk 7 to 15 miles per day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That might be a good gig for me too, trying to up my step game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would love to visit the clock in the mountain that Jeff Bezos had built.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be cool. It is going to run for 10,000 years so youve got time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So how do you feel about snakes? I have a pet king snake myself, and I love them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont think I could own one, but Im not scared or anything. Did you know there are No Snakes in New Zealand.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that's pretty crazy. The only bad thing about owning a snake is the upkeep, it can get expensive.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet, is your snake one of the ones that flies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha no, king snakes can not do that, if they could I am not sure I would want to own one, they sound very dangerous.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Where I live a giant cobra escaped and was loose in the city.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well I hope someone caught it before someone killed it, You cant punish them for doing what is hard wired into them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They never found it. Dead or alive. Yeah, I have a friend who is seriously afraid of snakes, runs away from the smallest ones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't have a fear of snakes, but spiders on the other hand I almost can not stand them to even be near me, hate the little buggers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Small ones dont bother me but once they get past a certain size thats a big nope from me. Roaches freak me out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha yeah roaches are just down right nasty, any way good chatting with you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you doing this evening?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi I'm doing well. Do you like baseball? I personally think it's really boring haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball is a slow game. I usually pay attention around the time of the playoffs. Then there's a lot of energy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it gets burst of energy, and then a lot of really boring Parts LOL. I never knew that baseball managers could actually play for their team. That's why they wear uniforms, duh<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it's easier to just watch the highlight reel. The managers probably played way back in the day. Now? It would be sad. I'd want my money back.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha yep they would probably get injured really quickly LOL have you ever played kickball when you were a kid<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I played kickball. Safer than dodgeball, that's for sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I agree with you there. In Canada they call kickball soccer-baseball instead, it doesn't quite have the same ring LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sure doesn't. That's clunky name. Baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans are surprised to discover it's america's national pastime. I wonder why? The sport started here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you. It's very screwy that they would not realize that LOL oh, did you hear about the man who found millions of dollars of baseball cards and his grandfather's attic? Now that is living the dream haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be great! I would sell some of them, but keep some for a long-term investment. You never know how much they could be worth one day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No you're right. That's why I don't throw anything away. And it's also why my house is a mess LOL. One thing I don't understand is why the MLB used a married couple for 24 years to schedule all their games, why wouldn't they use a computer<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The couple probably used some kind of technology, but I bet they had a friend at the MLB head office. Maybe they were inexpensive? I dunno.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha ya, and they did that until 2005, very crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a long time. Do you watch the World Series? I try to.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I can't say that I do haha. I like I said I don't really watch sports that much. I know that it is the best-of-seven games correct? Who do you want to win this year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like it when an underdog wins. I'm tired of big city teams with big payrolls winning. The Series should bring out the best in the fans and the players.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I like that too. What's crazy is that Babe Ruth tried to steal a base in game seven. That's what made him lose the 1926 World Series. Wasn't Babe Ruth really fat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was pretty big later on, but he was also a pitcher at one time, so maybe he was speedy. Still, stealing a base? He was a hitter, not a runner.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I agree with you. Pretty cool that the Cubs were the first team to win back-to-back World Series. I know that would be impressive<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was impressive, but then they hit the world's longest losing streak. How? Is it a curse?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha well at least the curse has been broken. What's also crazy is that the Women's World Cup had higher television ratings than the World Series in the United States. Personally I think soccer is even worse than baseball so I don't know how that's possible<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I'm not really into sports, but I learned a lot about baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, me too, but have you heard about Philadelphia Phillies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know a little about them. They have a funny mascot. It looks like Stephen Strasburg is doing well since healing from his injury.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
you know that ended in a 5-1 win for Strasburg and the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park and gave the team its first five-game winning streak since the end of May. I was so surprised, can you imagine 5:1...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's amazing. I can't believe the Nationals have a 19 year old rookie player who is doing so well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes that is amazing. He fell behind a couple times and got right back to throwing strikes. He did really, really well. Do you know Aaron Nola?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have never heard of him. Is he a good player too?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes hi is. he Phillies' Aaron Nola has been one of the National League's best and is right behind Max Scherzer and the New York Mets' Jacob deGrom in the Cy Young conversation, that's the information I have learned<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's something. I thought it was interesting that all othe game scheduling was done through a married couple until 2005. I wonder who handles it now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes me either. Then it was a nerve impingement in his neck. Now Strasburg is inching back into form, one start at a time, even if most of his fastballs are still registering in the low 90s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The low 90s is pretty fast for someone with that kind of injury. I also didn't know the game was so popular in Japan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too, can you believe, in Japan... I also learned that Ryan Zimmerman added a run-scoring single three hitters later and a solo home run in the fourth that sneaked just above Odubel Herrera's glove and into the bushes beyond the center field wall.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That must've been so awful for Odubel Herrera, to just miss catching the ball. It was probably quite a sight to see in person.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes I guess so... Can you believe that he Phillies right-hander never hit a stride in five innings of work, while Strasburg was only scratched by J.P. Crawford's solo homer to start the fifth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess people sometimes have off games. Hopefully he'll be able to get out of that slump.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes that's for sure. Nationals pent the past month hovering on either side of mediocrity, trading key players to contending teams, watching their playoff hopes come and go with the summer. But the Nationals have shown a lot of life in the past five days, if only a week or two too late, I am very impressed, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They are turning out to be an impressive team. Hopefully they'll make better decisions and continue to play well enough to go on to the world series. I am learning quite a bit about the team in this conversation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes exactly. do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like watching it in person. Not so much on TV. It's more exciting to be there. I've only been to one pro game with a friend who's really into the game -- I think it was the Nationals many years ago. I don't recall who they played or what the score was, but it was a fun afternoon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I like to watch it from home with my friends lol and did you know that Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. I did not know that. I wonder if any of the managers are any good...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it was nice to chat<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You bet. Do you know why the managers wear a uniform?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I believe its because they are able to play in the game if needed. Thats kinda cool, I hope they never have to though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is pretty cool. I wonder if they do that more in Japan where they take the game more seriously<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hear that they are surprised to know that baseball is an american thing lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it seems so. Do you know who used to do the scheduling for the major league games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure, who? A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in an attic!! lucky guy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is amazing. It was a couple who did it for 24 years in a row<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, the must really love baseball! That is a lot of time dedicated to the sport, that is really sweet that they had something they were both passionate about though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly because scheduling 2430 games every year is no easy feat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right! Probably after a few years they developed a working system or a program.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is a high possibility too. Do you know when the World Series was founded?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I dont. When?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was founded in 1903 and at that time even the ottoman empire was in existence still<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. did you know the chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back world series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they were but then they were cursed or something because they have not won anymore since then<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hear they actually did win again, in 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh right when they had that huge celebration with 5 million people out in the streets<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, the largest gathering of humans in history!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty impressive. Did you know the Cubs are one of the oldest teams in MLB?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not! Thats cool. ITs been great talking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there, are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I was an assistant scout for the Phillies years ago. Did you know that a married couple scheduled all 2430 games for 24 years until 2005?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is pretty cool. And no I didn't know that but that is very interesting. I wonder how they ever got that job?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know, but it must be complicated since there are sometimes concerts and other uses of stadiums. Also, it's too cold in some ballparks early in the season. There is a form of baseball played with a kickball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is true, the weather is unpredictable and some stadiums don't have roofs. Yeah I think it is called soccer-baseball or something like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is odd that managers wear baseball uniforms. Coaches in other sports don't wear uniforms.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it is odd, but do you know why they might wear uniforms unlike other sports?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have read that they can actually enter the game but I am not sure that I believe it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is right, technically they can play if they need to. Wouldn't that be fun to watch your team's manager play and bat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Some would do well because they were recently players, but sometimes they are over 60 years old. Some of Japan's baseball fans are surprised that it is such a big deal in the US.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I know Japanese people are really into baseball. Did you watch the world series this year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. The American League champ plays the National League champ and the NL is not doing so well lately.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah my team was one game away from representing the NL in the series. Did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the series way back in 1926?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That was not a good baseball decision trying to steal that base.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No that doesn't sound like it. But I think he made up for it quite a bit. Do you know who the first team to win back to back world series was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. The Cubs. The last time they won, the Ottoman Empire still existed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah good call. Are you a fan of the Cubs at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like them. Their stadium is so old and so classic. I guess what I said about the Ottoman Empire was wrong. They won in 2016 also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they did, maybe that was the last time they won their back to back series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I live in Phoenix and the Diamondbacks won in 2001. I could not imagine going 108 years without winning like the Cubs did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah our manager was a hero for you in that final game back then. Well I haven't seen one in my lifetime I am ready! It was nice talking with you.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you follow baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I am a dodger fan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome! I like Walker Buehler. What do you think of the Dodgers/Reds trade? Think it was a good one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. They gave up too much. Puig was a pain in the neck, but one of the best defensive left fielders in baseball. The pitcher wood was a young guy who was an all star 2 years ago<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was kind of surprised when they did that trade. Did you know baseball managers wear uniforms because they can technically play if needed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I remember Pete Rose and Frank Robinson doing that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. How about the guy who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards that were hidden in his grandfathers attic since the 1940s. I'm not ashamed to admit that I still a few packs of baseball cards every year. It gives me the thrill I had when I was kid opening them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes my base baseball cards were thrown out many many years ago. I wish I had those back<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They were super huge there in the late 80s and early 90s but have died down in popularity since then. Did you know kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I had heard that before.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know if I would like to schedule the games. For 24 years a married couple scheduled all MLB games played each year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds like a heck of a big job.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would want no part of it. Babe Ruth was thrown out stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 world series. First time I've ever seen that fact.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never heard that before.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
First time for me as well. Did you know that baseball is really popular in Japan and many fans there are surprised to find out it's known as America's national pastime?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Baseball has been big in Japan for a long time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I find it interesting how they name the teams. Surprised we don't see that here. We could see the Walmart Cashiers playing the Target Bullseyes. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Dodgers are called the Dodgers because their fans in Brooklyn Had to Dodge trollys to get to the Stadium. They were called trolly Dodgers, Then shortened to Brooklyn Dodgers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting! I honestly never knew that! The womens cup had higher tv ratings than the world series in the US. That kind of shows the sport is on a downtrend like the cards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never Knew that. But baseball is a slow paced game. I guess the kids like faster paced sports<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. They are into video games now (too much if you ask me). It's been fun talking ball with you! I enjoyed it. Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do and watch it quite a bit and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. do you know why the managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure of that actually, did not notice. Why?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes because they can play if their team needs them to<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice. DO you know how many balls are used during a MLB season?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm I have no idea but I know that a couple did the schedule for 24 years for those games<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is a lot and they use 160000 balls per season<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now that is a low. Did you hear about that guy who made 3 million from old baseball cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
WOw no, where did he find all those cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In the attic, they were his grandfather's. How lucky<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know. A female pitcher at just the age of 17 once took out Babe Ruth and was banned after that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is impressive too bad and unfair she got banned though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly. Women's world cup has more viewers than the Works Series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you know when the World Series was founded?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that was back in 9013, so over 100 years old now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah it is pretty old. They were around when the ottoman empire was around too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that feels really old. Do you know which team has lost the most championships?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm I do not know that, which team is that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is the dodgers, poor guys must be beating themselves about it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know. The Cubs were the only team to win back to back world series and then nothing for a long time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow they must have struck bad luck after that<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there, do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I sure do from time to time. Do you know why the managers wear a uniform?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they wear them because they are technically allowed to play if it need be<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes exactly. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it is called soccer-baseball, is it not?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it is, a combination of both games. In Japan seems to be a really popular game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yup they are so into the game that they cannot believe it is just a pastime here<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah exactly. Do you know who used to do the scheduling for major league games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hear there was this couple who did it for 24 years in a row<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is amazing, 2430 games every year that is just too many numbers for me<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sure is for me too. THe ottoman empire was in existence when the world series started<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that means it started really early this whole thing with baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it started back in 1903. The Cubs were the only team to win back to back championships<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and they have not won since then so I wonder what happened there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah one wonders right? Women's world cup on the other hand has higher ratings than the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty impressive. The largest gathering in human history was when the Cubs won the world series in 2016<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I heard more than 5 million people were put celebrating<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is insane. The Cubs are one of the oldest teams in MLB, along with Atlanta Braves.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is pretty cool. And they have had pitchers with 4,5, and 6 fingers in their pitching hand<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice, that sounds interesting. They are also one of the oldest teams in MLB<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. They were once believe to have been cursed when security did not let a guy with a smelly goat in the stadium<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey I do like baseball! Did you know that managers can actually play baseball? that's why they wear the uniforms, just in case the need arises, then they can play for the team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I did, thats pretty awesome. Hopefully they dont have to though, most of them are a bit older. Theres like 20 players on a team though, shouldnt have the need.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I agree with you. Have you ever played kickball when you were in school? Apparently in Canada, it's not called kickball, it's called soccer baseball LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did, used to love kickball, I feel like kickball is a more appropriate name for it, what does soccer mean?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right! I definitely think that kickball is the right word. It's the best way to describe it, what would you do if you found millions of dollars of baseball cards in your attic by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow well pay off my car and cc's, go on a small vacation and put the rest in savings or investments, then continue my life. how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha I would do something similar. Definitely pay off my student loans and everything. And probably retire LOL. I can't believe that some guy found 3 million dollars worth of those cards in his grandfather's attic though. What a lucky guy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know thats amazing. That would be really nice, my relatives dont collect anything cool like that so Im on my own lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha yes that's too bad, mine did not either. Have you ever been to Japan by the way? Apparently baseball is really huge over there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have a trip planned for next jan to Japan! No I had no idea that baseball was big there, maybe I can catch a game!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You should! I've heard that the crowds are super Rowdy haha. You're not married are you? It's weird that a married couple with scheduling all of the MLB baseball games for about 24 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I am happily married! That seems like they put a lot of time into baseball, they must really love it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so. You ever watch the World Series by the way? I haven't watched it in a really long time myself<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have watched it a few times, especially if the sf giants are in it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So is that your favorite team? I like the Tigers, and I also like the Yankees LOL oh, did you know that the Women's World Cup soccer had a higher television rating than the World Series? And that was in the United States too, I wonder how that's possible<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha wow thats crazy. Yes, I love the SF Giants!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What do you think about the Chicago Cubs by the way? Apparently after they won in 2016 about 5 million people were celebrating in the streets<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good for them. I dont think they have won in a long time lol I cant imagine 5 billion people in the streets though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nope Chicago must have been really partying that day LOL. Did you know that they were the first team to win back-to-back World Series's?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Been good chatting<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, have you heard that one of the chicago cubs have an employed pitcher with 6 fingers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, The cubs are one two major teams in chicago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am guessing the second one is the Atlanta Braves.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, The chicago cubs won the 2016 world series, people celebrated in the streets, making largest gatherings in human history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, they were the first team to win straight on the world series til 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The chicago cubs were the first team win back to back .<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is true. However, the Chicago Cubs were somewhat "cursed."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For this only the cubs did not play in a world series again until 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was right after a refusal towards a man with a smelly goat going into the stadium.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I hear the new. Baseball managers wear uniform because they are technically able to play for their team when need arises.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet they get as much compensation as the other team players.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They are very fanatic for their team should win. You ever played baseball ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hardly play baseball. I watch the game whenever there is a Giants game coming up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What your Favourite game ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Giants. Unless, you're talking about sports. My favorite sport is basketball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Kickball is also called soccer baseball in canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, have you ever played kickball? Physical education teachers let the students play kickball in the states, as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, baseball is very popular in japan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you think that baseball started in Japan or the states?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
United state national sports is base ball. I know it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see. Nice to talk to someone who has a good knowledge on baseball.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
The Braves seem to have a good start on the season, they are the most rested team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, how are you? I don't really know the Braves. They're a big market team, so I expect them to get marquee players.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have a good team, so there are two points of view, a well reseted team vs a team that comes into season with a lot of practice, which one do you prefer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would practice. I think skills get rusty. Baseball is a team sport, so they should work together. Other teams will have practiced.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think practice is better, a well rested team might begin with some troubles, games are neccesary to adapt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I would want people to practice. They need to prepare for the season. Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ive always wondered about that, do you know if it ever happened in a game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I suppose back in the day one of the players was chosen to be manager. Handled both jobs. Now, not necessary.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see well the game is really popular in Japan, seems like it has a lot of fans over there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The game is very popular. I think that the Japanese have made their own version of it. Uniquely Japanese.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They did? wow, they must really like it them did you watch the Wold Series last year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't get the chance to watch a lot of it. I know that the Dodgers lost again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt watch it either, its a game with a lot of tradition almost 120 years since the first World Series, so 120 champions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Cubbies won back to back WS. Then after that? It's like a curse. What should they do?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They should get like an exorcism done by all religions lol, it does seem like a curse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The sports is popular here, but not around the world. The women's world cup had higher television ratings than the world series in the united states.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It did? guess not only the mens category is popular then, before 1969 the team with the best record would advanced to the WS that has changed now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think the playoffs are fun, but probably a good way to get more money. The fans don't seem to mind.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So the Chicago Cubs and their curse, to think the Cubs and the Braves are the oldest teams in the league<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Braves have moved a lot, I think. Weren't they in another city?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure about that, but I think they were yeah.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you play or watch baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey, I've played, but honestly not a big fan. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to follow it really closely, and played in highschool. But they changed the strike zone to be smaller so now the games are less exciting to me because I was a pitcher.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? It's interesting. Do you know why baseball is popular in Japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No i don't actually, but I hear it is popular there. Do you know why? I'm curious.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I honestly never heard about it, but read couple minutes ago. I'm wondering is it only Japan, but any Asian country as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, do you know if they play a championship game there? And if so, what is it called?><end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have no idea. But if so, why US teams don't play aganst Japanese? lol It could the World Cup like in soccer/footaball every January 4 teams from different continents play<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, curious why we call it a world series but the two countries never play each other.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely. Have you read an article about Chicago Cubs recently?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I didn't see it. Apparently when they won the 2016 series 5 million people celebrated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It also was the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series. I actually didn't know it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome. They are one of the oldes teams.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. As well as Atlanta Braves. It's wonderful!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. The Cubs were cursed in 1945 when they would let Billy Sianis stay in the stadium.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's sounds like a mystery. Just difficult to believe lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't now they were known as the North Siders. Did you know that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's also new fact for me, I didn't know. Honestly, I don't have good knowledge in history of baseball. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sort of, babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the world series and they lost.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I know that, but it was long long time ago. Even the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Chicago Cubds won the World series. It was also long time ago<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Chicago to be honest. But I'm happy they won.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I watch a little. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball is my favorite sport. Did you know that managers are technically able to play for their teams?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why they wore those uniforms. I wonder if one has actually ever played?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The only one I can think if is Pete Rose who regularly played as manager. Do you have a favorite team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves, from the days of Chipper Jones. What's your favorite team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Mine is the Dodgers. I have to admire that team that Atlanta had, their pitching staff was something else.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hear in Japan, baseball is so popular that some Japanese people are shocked to find out that its America's national pastime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So I've heard. Do you think that Japan should ever be allowed to compete for the world championship?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sure, why not? They have some pretty good players, actually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They do. I have always been a little upset because the US always considers their sports teams as world champs but yet don't have to prove it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's so true! Hey, did you hear about the man that found all those old baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that was quite a find. I had no idea that baseball cards were so valuable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me either. Did you watch the World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did watch the world series, and as you can imagine I was once again disappointed in the Dodgers. Did you know that in 1992 the US marines carried the canadian flag upside down?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can believe it. lol Which way does that leaf go anyway?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
To tell you the truth I would have to look it up. But what an embarrassment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right, I think I would have googled it,, before walking out!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. I feel sorry for the Marine who was carrying it. I'm sure things didn't go well for him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He probably had to scrub the latrine with his toothbrush. Oh well, now he knows, I bet he won't forget it! Did you hear about the curse of the goat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, what is the curse of the goat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apparently, the Cubs were cursed after security would not let a man bring his goat into the stadium in 1945. He cursed the team and they did not play in a World Series again until 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. Remind me to be nice to goats. Thanks for the interesting chat, and have a nice day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a baseball fan? ive never really enjoyed watching on tv don't have the patience for it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I prefer football but my granddaughter likes to watch baseball games on tv. So, I watch with her.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool! Apparently it's so popular in Japan that there surprised it's our (Americas) past time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I heard about that. Apparently baseball managers wear uniforms in case they have to play to replace players.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if that's ever happened before? Did you know that baseball use to be referred to as the Fall classics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I will research about it later. No, I did not know that (the fall classics).<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Because in north america it is played during the fall season.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I see. Thank you for the information. A married couple used to schedule all 2430 major league baseball games played each year for 24 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That must of been pretty cool for them to do together. so the baseball season is how many games. do you know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
2430 games, I think. I might be wrong.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a lot of games, no wonder pitcher arms get burned out. Just to refresh my memory a run is scored when a player legally crosses the bases, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases and touches home plate.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right, and the team that scores the most points wins. Why is the word legally used can you get bases illegally?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know why the specifically use the word "legally".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now there is a such thing as stealing a base right? Some one told me that the ottoman empire was still in existence win the cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My granddaughter knows much more about baseball. I think you are right, there is such a thing as stealing a base. Babe Ruth was caught doing it to end game 7 and lose the 1926 World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that had to hurt. I heard that the Chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back super bowls and haven;t won since.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think what you meant was World Series since Super bowl is for football games. Yes, you are right about Chicago Cubs winning back to back.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh right thank you for the correction. Did you know that the women's cup had more tv rating that the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I heard about it. Isn't it amazing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is, good for them! After the Cubs won the world series in 2016 over 5 million people celebrated in the streets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, apparently it was one of the largest gathering in human history. I've got to run. It was nice chatting with you. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you follow basebal? The Nationals traded Daneil Murphy and Matt Adams<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do. I didn't know that. Who's your favorite team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm a Yankees fan, I never knew Babe Ruth was caught stealing home in the 1926 World Serires<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's surprising, you don't hear many bad things about Babe Ruth. I like the Dodgers therefore I am anti-yankee.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They had a great rivalry when both were in NY. It's crazy Babe Ruth would ever try to steal a base considering how big he was<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder how many stolen bases he had in his career. Maybe he thought he could just run the catcher over.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be an interesting fact to know. It's pretty crazy the Ottoman Empire was still around when the Cubs won back to back World Series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes the Cubs have suffered from the curse of the goat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Who knew a man with a goat could wield such great power<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Remind me not to make an enemy of anyone carrying a goat. I wonder if that's where the saying being a goat came from. Like Ruth was the goat after losing that game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don'tknow, maybe, Billy Sianis goat did stink<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably so. Did you know the Cubs and Braves started playing the same year as the battle of the little bighorn?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is pretty crazy, I wonder if any of the people from the Battle of Little Bighorn ever saw a Cubs game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know. How do you feel about people today complaining about teams that are named after Native Americans, like the Braves?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Depends on how respectful it's done, the Braves don't have a bad logo but the Indians logo is pretty messed up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The native americans don't seem to have a problem with it. It's just other people, strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if there are any baseball controversies in Japan, baseball is really popular there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it is, and they have some pretty good players. I wonder if they will ever be allowed to play for the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe one day, but for now it's just between the AL and NL champions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, but we Americans have a habit of declaring ourselves world champs in almost all the sports. Just doesn't seem right.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I got to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there do you like baseball? Its the game that uses a ball and a bat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do! And then they run around the bases, if they are lucky enough to hit said ball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is true. It's crazy that baseball managers can actually join in the game, that's why they wear uniforms<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, if they need to play for their teams, I dont know why that would happen, but it might be fun to watch!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that could be cool. It's also cool that a man found millions of dollars worth of old baseball cards in his attic haha his grandfather and put them there and I guess forgotten about them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe, I should start checking my attic and see what treasures are stored up there. I might have an early retirement.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha yes I hope so! You know what is weird though? Have you ever played the game kickball, apparently it's called soccer-baseball in Canada for some reason<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess it is a pretty accurate name too, however I much prefer kickball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Uranium kickball sounds a lot better haha. What do you think about the Japanese? Apparently they are shocked to learn that baseball is actually America's pastime and was not invented in Japan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is surprising, I bet they wonder why they are not invited to the world series either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha yes I bet! I think it's interesting that the Women's World Cup higher television ratings than the World Series. I don't like soccer myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would actually say I am a bigger soccer fan than Baseball. Especially when it comes to world cups.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I don't really like either game haha. It is crazy though that the World Series actually started back in 1903, so I do respect its long history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The cubs won the first back to back series and then didnt win again until 2016. That is a long time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is a long time, and apparently the Ottoman Empire was still a thing back when they first one at haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, I guess I hadnt realized they had overlapped. Did you hear about how they were "cursed"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes I heard about that! Its great that they finally broke the curse and 5 million people were celebrating in the streets!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Supposedly it was one of the largest gatherings in Human history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya you're right, I do like that they have employed handicapped players, they have had pitchers with 4,5 and 6 fingers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really cool. I remember Jim Abbott, the one armed player. I wonder who he played for?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure I havne't heard of him, but ya I also like the cubs because they, along with the braves, are the oldest MLB teams, great chat btw!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks! Do you follow baseball? Did you know that managers can actually play for their team if needed so that is why they suit up?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard something like that, but I wonder how often was that actually implemented in the game. Did You ever see something like that ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never saw that. But I've played kickball. Did you know that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
soccer-baseball ;) that's a first... is even kick ball popular in Canada ? Do You know ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know for sure. But baseball is really popular in Japan and fans are surprised to discover its status as America's national pastime<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In Japan ? Are You sure ? I didn't know Japan played baseball. Did you ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! They play well at the Little League World Series. Did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the '26 world series with his team only down by one run<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, Mr. Ruth was quite a legend... have You watched games with him ? Pretty exciting thing to see...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've seen movies. In the 1992 World Series, the U.S. Marine corps color guard carried the canada flag into the stadium upside down<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow... that was the last time he did that probably... I hope it was not intentional... ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series and haven't won since<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow, this must suck for them and their managers ;) such high expectations every year probably and then bum... back to square one...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Cubs have had pitchers with a varying number of fingers including 4,5 and 6. Do you know any of those pitchers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
sorry I don't, do you ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No not sure, but one team had a one-handed pitched who did an amazing job named Jim Abbott<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
not bad... I'm sure that one hand was insured for a lot of money ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Braves hadn't been in the playoffs for a while but made it this year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good for them, were You cheering for them ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No way. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Naah, me neither ;) I don't care much for that sport - sorry, I'm from Europe, we have different interests I guess...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice talking. If you find old major league baseball cards, they could be worth millions. A man found 3 million dollars worth in his grandpa's attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'll start looking right now ;) thank You for the chat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
When I was a kid I used to always collect baseball cards. I heard a man found 3 million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic. Have you ever collected baseball cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's cool. Sadly, bo I never collected baseball cards. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love baseball so yes, but none are worth any crazy money. Do you watch baseball at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do watch some games. I read somewhere that managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams, if the need arises. How wild is that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah baseball does have some weird rules. I think its because the sport is so old. My dads favorite team is the cups and they started in 1876! They also had one of the longest droughts ever, 108 years. What is your favorite team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves and they have been around as long as the Cubs, too. Both were founded the same year as the Little Bighorn battle. Wow!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Both those teams have so much fans. My dad said when the Cubs won in 2016 over 5 million people celebrated in the streets. Have you heard of the cubs curse?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it's pretty funny actually. It started in 1945 when stadium security wouldn't let a man named Billy Sianis stay in the stadium with his smelly pet goat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The best part about baseball is watching the world series. I remember when the red sox came back and beat the Yankees down 0-3. Its crazy how its been going on since 1903. I wonder how many people actually watch it still.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's still pretty popular. You know in Japan is so popular, many fans are surprised to discover its status as America's national pastime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dunno because my friend told me that the women's world cup had higher television ratings than the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Worldwide I think Soccer rules. But, baseball is still pretty popular, too. I read somewhere that kickball is called soccer baseball in Canada. That's kind of strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of strange I heard that the cubs have employed a pitcher with 6 fingers. I do not know why my dad likes that team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, they have had pitchers with 4,5, and 6 fingers on their pitching hand. Uncommon, but totally true!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Another weird thing about the cubs is the last time they won the ottoman empire was still going. Do you really think they were cursed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know about cursed, probably just bad luck on their part.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They started out so good, they were the first team to win back to back. seems kinda weird maybe baseball is fixed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've said that before, myself! Did you know the great Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 World Series with his team down by one run?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
People do not care even if it is fixed, they still wanna watch it. in 2005 a couple scheduled 2430 games!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I heard that they did that for 24 years. They must be very organized to keep all those schedules straight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball is a fun sport, I like seeing it in person live. Have you ever seen baseball in person?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I have seen many baseball games in my lifetime. I still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid, playing. Well, it's been nice chatting with you, I need to get to work. I'll talk to you later, friend.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
The Braves sure are a pupular team, they seem to be well rested for the playoffs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is that good or bad. They have had no real good teams to play against.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think its a bad thing, practice is everything and not playing enough games can result in lack of chemistry<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thursday at 8:07 am eastern time, the Braves play their first playoff game since 2013. Many new players going to playoffs for first time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have many young players so its going to be a great experience for them hope that they can make it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
As long as they do not forget that runners advance counter clock wise around four bases to score a run, they will be fine.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think they have a great team so as long as they remember the rules everything is going to be ok, the manager can always step in and play with them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess thats why the manager dresses like a player. Is there really a rule that catching a ball in a players hat gives the other team three bases?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont know I haven't seen that, then again I dont watch many of the games, baseball is really popular in Japan so maybe they know if its true over there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Baseball came from Japan. Makes sense. The pitcher throws a ball which the opposing team tries to hit with a bat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh so the game originated in Japan? baseball card collectors can have a hidden fortune and people wouldnt know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner. But when do the teams trade cards? Seems hard to advance around bases and hand out cards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont think they trade cards, well maybe many of them do, a man found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his basements, some can cost a lot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are baseballs worth anything? There are 160,000 baseballs used in a major league season.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they are, specially important baseballs from decisive home runs or such,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I see. Interesting. So, for the Simpsons home town of Springfield it is not known what state they are in. But the Simpsons minor league baseball team is the Isotopes. See what I am getting at?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I can follow, the Isotopes were pretty bad in the Simpsons, I guess reality is not different lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That means that the Simpsons are in New Mexico. You knew that all this time. Impressive. Ronald Reagan was a radio broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs in the 1930's.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was? that would be interesting to hear lol,their stadium got cursed back in 1945<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Reagan must have had an interesting life. The Chicago Cubs used to be the Chicago Orphans. Weird. What happens in 1945?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The team got cursed back in 1945, a man named Billy Sianis wasnt allowed in and he cursed the team. The curse worked!!!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
do you like the piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love it is such a classic instrument, and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. BBC once played piano tunes all day instead of the news<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah because there was no newsworthy news that day<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Did you know Mercury and McCartney used the same piano to compose their songs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes Bohemian Rhapsody and Hey Jude, respectively<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Have you heard of circus gallop?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that is the stress testing tune for pianos right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that one but no human can play it, strange<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I know. THere is a piano on top of the tallest mountain in the UK<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and no one still knows how it got there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah strange for sure. The instrument goes back to 1700 though, pretty old<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice. Do you shop online at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes all the time, I like Amazon and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. Did you know jeff built a clock on a mountain?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. And they named a building after their first customer<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and he spent less than $30<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Did you know their workers walk up to 15 miles a day?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I guess they are super busy after all. Did you know they own IMDB<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they seem to be everywhere now really<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Indeed, they have become a true giant<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey there! Happy Friday! Are you a baseball fan at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I watch a little, You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love baseball. I'm a Yankee fan. Do you root for a team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I live near Oakland so its the A's for me<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you ever seen the movie Moneyball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw it a long time ago<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ah I see. It was about Billie Bean managing the A's.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Do you know how many baseballs are used in a season?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea. I assume a ton. They lose a lot for home runs, foul balls, and then you just see them switch out balls occasionally.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
160,000 i understand.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. Have you ever caught a ball at a game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No but we had someone who worked there that we know give us one haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think I ever have. Do you remember people going nuts for Barry Bonds homerun balls?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, people dove into McCovey Cove to get them. Did you know SF radio stations threw shade at Kansas City?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Against the Royals? How come?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They banned the song royals by lorde lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha really? Did they play in the World Series one year? That must be it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes the world series has been contested 114 times<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's crazy but to be far the World Series was even around when the Ottoman Empire still existed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah just since 1903<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hey it was great chatting with you. Have a great weekend.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey! Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do. I love watching the Chicago Cubs in the NL.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was so awesome to see them finally win the World Series in 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that was so exciting! Especially after a 108 year drought!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Totally! They were the first team to ever win back-to-back World Series, then nothing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do love Wrigley field where they play - its within the city<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know they evidently didn't win for so long because they were "cursed" by a man named Billy because Wrigley Field security would let him stay there with his pet goat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes - who takes a goat to a baseball game? But 5 million people celebrated in the streets after they finally won!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would have, too! For one of the oldest teams in the major league? What a day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. The Cubs and Atlanta are the two oldest teams - founded the same year as the battle of little bighourn!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's so weird to think that the Cubs is only one of the two baseball teams in Chicago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that is pretty funny. They have always been unique - they have had pitchers with 4, 5, and 6 fingers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's pretty neat. Can you believe the Ottoman empire was still in existence when the Cubs first won the World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that was a long time ago! They have appeared in 11 world series total - apparently they were a lot better a hundred years ago!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love watching the World Series, though the Women's World Cup had higher ratings.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes the World Series is great fun to watch. The Fall Classic is always exciting. I am not sure if I like it better with the playoffs than how it used to be with just the best record which went.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball is so popular in Japan, they are always surprised to hear it is America's National pasttime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I think its funny the reason that baseball managers wear a uniform is that they are actually allowed to play!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! I wonder if the same is true for the Kickball managers, or soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never realized that there was a couple who scheduled all of the major league games every year - all the way up until 2005!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that's gotta be over 2400 games!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish my parents had collected baseball cards. One lucky guy found 3 million dollars worth of cards of his grandfathers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's so cool!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good! Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like it. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes there are interesting facts about baseball, like the number of balls used in a season: 160,000!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that's a lot! The Nationals missed the playoffs last year too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I looks it was a difficult season for them, they did score but against one of the teams in the bottom, the Marlins<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They had a really great lineup that really underpreformed. It was a shame they couldnt perform under their new manager.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is tough, they were basically depending on other teams to collapse, the braves and the Phillies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Braves over performed and the phillies did too. It would be tough to win that division with those two ahead of you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Talking about the world series, i found it funny that in 2014 a great song was banned by 2 san francisco radio stations, do you know why?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not know, why?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it was the series between SF giants and new orleans Royals, so they banned Royals by Lorde, i think that is a great song<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
HA! That's funny. Like watching babe ruth trying to steal a bag...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How is that? Tell me about it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Babe Ruth was a large man. He was not the fleetest of foot. He was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 world series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is funny!! talking about babe ruth there was a pitcher, a female one banned when she struck out Babe ruth and Lou ghering.. kind of unfair!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah! THat's sexism! Seems like something they would do in the 20s and 30s though...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true, i think she did something incredible. And about women I was surprised to learn that the world series had a lower rating compared to womens' world cup<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The braves and the cubs are the oldest two teams in MLB. That's crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is true, founding members in 1876 with a different name<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you doing tonight?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Pretty well and you? Do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have watched baseball from time to time. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes me too sometimes. Do you know why managers wear uniforms during the game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they can rush on the field at a moment's notice to play a position. Highly unlikely though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, interesting and good for them just in case. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dunno. Canadian kickball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is actually called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That makes sense. Canadians would find the middle-of-the-road term for the sport. What about the man who found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic? That's pretty cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is for sure, he made a lot of money there. DO you know who used to do the schedule for the major baseball league games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I figured the schedule would be done by computer. Who does it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was a couple who did it for 24 years straight<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. That must have been a pretty sweet job. I wonder how much it paid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is a sweet gig for sure. They scheduled 2430 games a year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a lot of games, but maybe year to year it doesn't vary so much. Get it right once and the following years are straightforward.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. In Japan baseball is so popular that they cannot believe it is a pastime in the US<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think the Japanese are not aware of many things outside of their country. Until a Japanese person does something important outside of Japan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess. Did you know the CUbs were the first team to win back to back world series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Cubs! How ironic! They struggled for so long to get a Series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, and they have not won ever since<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a curse if I've ever heard of one. Well, someone needs to hire a gypsy woman to lift the curse.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess. Nice chat<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you like game of thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like Game of Thrones! Do you know any interesting facts about it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Um this is the final season? i think it starts next month. i cant wait.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too. I can't believe it's already been 7 seasons since it first premiered on HBO on April 17,2011.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, the show has a tremendous following and could go on forever. but i think it is better to draw things to a close. especially because of the author.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Did you know that Harry Lloyd is the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Harry Lloyd? who is that ? i have heard of Charles Dickens. he wrote oliver twist.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes...Harry Lloyd plays Visery Targaryen on GOT.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, ok. i am bad with names. i usually remember the names of the pretty women. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL Here's another one...Charlie Chapins granddaughter plays Talisa Maegyr on Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Whoa. i guess famous people have famous descendants. I guess i am screwed here. LOL Who is your favorite GoT character?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would have to say Khal Drogo. Arya is the fastest rising baby name given to girls in the US...most likely due to Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That guy is amazing. He played aquaman too. Arya is a good name. short, easy to spell.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! GOT gets financed by Ireland because they film scenes there which boosts tourism incomes. That makes sense.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet it is the same as LOTR and New Zealand. the locals might get tired of tourists though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe. I myself would love it. lol There is a National Geogrpahic wild show called Game of Lions that follows the lives of lions like GOT characters. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hm. well, i guess that GoT is a cultural phenomenon. Game of Lions sounds a bit flat though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! Do you like horses at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I do like horses, but I have never ridden one. they are majestic but expensive animals. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that Clint Eastwood had a mid life allergy to horses? It was a good chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is too bad for clint. he loves horses! Great chat! have a good night!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks! Hope you have a good night too!<end_of_turn>

Hey there! Do you lie Pixar films? I just finished watching Up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I love Pixar films. Up is a good one. I think it's cool that Pixar studio has a secret room that is often visited by celebrities.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah for sure! I just heard about that room a few days ago. Speaking of Disney, do you like the movie Aladdin?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah Aladdin is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to the remake. I really enjoyed Robin Williams in the original.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. I miss him making films. I guess he started the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films. What a legend.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very much a legend. Rest in peace Robin. Celebrities make so much money. For example judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's crazy! I don't even watch Judge Judy. Celebs make too much, I think.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think we should put our priorities in different things not just celebrities. But some celebrities do good like that celebrity TV chef in Ethiopia who is trying to combat his countries hunger problem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's super interesting. Its crazy to think how much celebrities and pop culture influences our lives. There's this show called Game of Thrones that everyone is talking about.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh yeah I love that show. I am so excited for the finale. There is even a National Geographic show that is like Game of Thrones except with lions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've never watched the show! What is it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is very complicated but it is set long ago on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos. It is all about attaining power essentially!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That sounds like something I might want to watch in the future. I've been thinking about naming my future child Arya. Apparently, that's a character in the show! I guess it's the fastest rising baby name.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is a really cool name. That show has done a lot. Ireland actually pays the series so that the film scenes boost tourism for Ireland.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. I've always wanted to see Ireland. I guess there are a lot of horses there, and I am interested in seeing them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and it is also very green and beautiful. You would definitely like the Show Game of Thrones because there are a lot of horses in the show.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'll have to check it out sometime. Are you interested in horses as well?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I have rode horses quite a bit. They are very unique and loving animals. However I never rode a horse to school like those two high school students who got suspended that one time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have heard about that. Did you know that Clint Eastwood is allergic to horses, even though he has been on horseback for many of his movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That must've made work a bit harder! Have you ever ridden a horse with a fifth speed like the Icelandic horses have? It is called Tolt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not. I've ridden Lipizzaner horses, though. They're known for their classical dressage performances.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very cool. Apparently they are born black or brown and take about six years to turn completely white. It was nice chatting with you see you later.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I saw an article that says pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny, considering the number of stars in their films, following in Robin Williams footsteps!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Robin Williams in aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I wonder if Judge Judy who makes $123000 per episode might do one!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats funny! I just saw that Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the childrens series sesame street<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is quite a bit different than American fantasy drama series Game of Thrones!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ethiopia has a celebrity tv chef who believes he can combat his country's hunger problems by encouraging everyone to eat more diverse foods<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Perhaps he could join the cast of Game of Thrones, since they film in Croatia, Malta and all over the world!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just saw that Charlie Chaplins granddaughter plays talisa maegry in game of thrones<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. Harry Lloyd is also a famous descendant, the great-great-great grandson of charles dickens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
some famous people. did you know that there is a Nat Geo wild show called games of lions that follows the lives of lions like the game of thrones characters<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. I wonder if Ireland helps finance that like they do the actual show!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good question. I saw that Arya is the fastest rising new baby name given to girls in the US most likely due to game of thrones<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
People like celebrities, real and fictional - almost as much as horses or Equus Ferus!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Icelandic horses have a fifth speed, tolt, that is basically speedwalking for a horse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder when that started in the 45 to 55 million evolution of the species!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
not sure about that. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 bc<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting, so the entire process of getting them used to humans took 1000 years or so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
it says that domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting, although there are still some wild horses in nature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I read that Dalmations are associated with firefighters because they would calm and protect the horses.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! I hope there are no fires in this area! Nice to chat with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
do you know much about celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know that Pixar has a room just for celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah heard of that but it sounds a bit unfair though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. DId you know Robin Williams was the voice of Aladdin?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes and that is how that trend of celebrities doing voice started<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Do you know who is the highest paid celebrity?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that would be, believe it or not, LeBron James<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he makes more than Judge Judy and she makes $123 000 per episode<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that is a lot . DO you know how a chef in Ethiopia plans to combat hunger?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he thiks that we should just eat more diverse foods<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder how that would worl. DO you know who Carol Burnett is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street. DO you watch Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I do. Did you know the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens plays in it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is Harry Lloyd who plays Viserys<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and also Chaplin;s granddaughter plays in it as well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that is the actress that plays Talisa Maegyr in the show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Arya seems to become a very popular name for babies now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and it is all because of the use of the name in the show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Have you heard of the show Game of LIons on Nat Geo?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it involves lions instead of actors, so cool. Nice chat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here<end_of_turn>

<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know frozen was the first animated disney film directed by a woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow, that is neat. I loved that movie. I bet the toys came out before the movie!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i think toys always come out before the movie, they gotta get the children hooked first lol The kids will drive the parents crazy until parents buy the toys lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Funny, I would want to see the movie then choose. Have you seen the Lion King?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes what a great movie, they have a lot of good songs as well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was dubbed in Zulu for release in Africa...that good!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh nice, way to cater to the locals.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if they had a new respect for Lions being in Africa haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I cant believe that the development of the film wreck it ralph started in the 80's<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hard to believe Disney only took its curent name in 1983<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah thats weird.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Pixar and Walt disney Studios are under the Big Six<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh I see, what is the Big six?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is just Hollywoods biggest 6 studios.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Gotcha. That makes sense that they are under that them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Alright, have a good night. Good Chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Great chat, night!<end_of_turn>

<start_of_turn>agent
I am, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I am too. Did you know that Not all men in the uk had the right to vote until 1918.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that but I do know that this country still engages is voter suppression; not much has changed over the years with the GOP<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Here is a crazy fact. 34% of the black male population in alabama has permanently lost the right to vote.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah because they are all convicted felons; time to change that law for sure<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes lol How about we change the subject. Do you like disney movies? I love them.<end_of_turn>

<start_of_turn>user
Absolutely . I have to small nieces and I can sing all the songs just like them . Hey do u think you will vote in the next election?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am going to let the GOP know I am not happy one bit and vote on the other side of the aisle<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep. Its crazy but since 1928 The last time a republican was elected president without a nixon or bush on the ticket was 1928<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't like the head of the party...lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Is that true?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely, I don't agree with the job Trump is doing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very true. It has been good talking to ya.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I hear there was a hope-monger gathering that drew 8000,000 ppl to it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a lot of people! Surprised I haven't heard of it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow did you know that Astronauts can vote from space.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is so cool. Not all men in the uk had the vote until 1918.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Every US president with a beard has been a republican.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats funny. It should be mandatory to have a beard if youre a president! Ha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right! The use of red and blue for Dems and Repu only started in 2000. I would have thought it was longer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! I thought it would have been more than 19 years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The toy industry gets involved before the beginning of the production of a movie according to disney.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And the development of the Disney film wreck it ralph started in the late 80's.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow spanning nearly 3 decades with four working titles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Just remarkable. I cant believe Frozen was the first animated Disney film directed by a woman.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know and that cartoon practically took over my life.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Impressive! Frozen was a very good movie in my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think so to but you know the kids. it was a running dialogue at my house for what seemed like forever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats hilarious! Did you watch pirates of the Caribbean?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did all of them. which was your favorite?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I liked the first one. Did you know those movies earned over $1 billion in worldwide box office gross?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow i did not know that. Johnny depth is an amazing actor.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed, which one did you like the best?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think 2 was my favorite though i liked them all. 1 & 2 were the best for me. Kinda went down hill after that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, I only really remember watching the first one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Disney owes Marvel so they during just fine as far as finances go. You ever see Lion King?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! It was the first Disney film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's right, well nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi do you watch baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey there I like it and watch it a lot and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah me too. Do you know why managers wear uniforms?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure of that, why? I did not know they wear them in the first place<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they wear them because they are allowed to play if it need be<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh that is neat. Do you know who the Albuquerque Isotopes are named after?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm I do not know that, who? Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure of that but the team was named after a team in the SImpsons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha that is awesome. In Canada it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hmm interesting. DO you know how many balls are used during a MLB season?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm I have no idea but likely it is a lot as there are a lot of games played. How many?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well you are right it is a lot, about 160 000<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow amazing. Do you know who did the MLB scheduling for 24 years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hmmm I do not actually, who? Do you know the cubs, the team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was a couple and they schedule 2430 games a yeah. Yeah I know the Cubs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
WOw that is a lot. Well the Cubs won back to back championships and then nothing for a while<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
WOw I wonder what happened there. IN Japan the sport is so popular that they don't believe it is just a pastime in the US<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
WOw nice. Do you know the song Royal by Lorde?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I do, is it somehow related to baseball or the games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah two radio stations banned it during a game between the Giants and ROyals<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha that makes so much sense, staying neutral<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you know Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i did not knwo that actually, has that ever needed to happen?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, but it would be interesting if it did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that would be, do you collect baseball cards at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to, how about you? It was incredibly popular when I was younger.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never did, but someone once found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his grandfathers attic, what a come up!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
WOW! Did you know Bestbuy and Target will price match Amazon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
no i did not, but amazon is usually very competitive, so that is impressive!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it is. Target apparently doesn't carry tobacco products.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is good, in my state no grocery store can sell alcohol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, not surprising. Maryland used to have a law like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am around that area, so that makes a lot of sense. Vermont is the only state without a target believe it or not!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. Why is that? I'm' curious.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i am not sure, it is interesting, you would expect it to be Alaska or another low population state<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that is interesting. Did you know Kickball is also called Soccer Baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
no, but I suppose the name does make sense! I like baseball though, it is americas pastime!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it is a good sport. It is also really popular in Japan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard they are usually surprised how popular it is in America too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they don't know it is our national pastime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess that surprises even me, football seems to be more popular from my anecdotal viewpoint<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, very true. The chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back world series. Pretty amazing.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there what do you think of the game of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Baseball is ok. I remember hearing my older relatives calling the World Series the Fall Classic. It sounds very retro.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that is retro, I never knew that baseball managers could start playing if they wanted to, and thats why they wear uniforms<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I just recently learned that, too, and thought it was very interesting! It might be like an embarrassment to the team to have to bring in a manager like that, though. What do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha ya I would think so, can you believe that baseball is super popular in Japan, I had no idea<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, when I worked for Target a few years ago I remember they'd have Japanese baseball on in the break room along with other TV's with American Sports.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ah that is interesting, I wish I was like the guy who found millions of dollars of baseball cards in his attic, now that would be a surprise<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
As long as I'm not like the guy found in a beer cooler behind a concession stand at a baseball stadium. He was found just before a braves game, too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I heard about that that was crazy, did you ever play kickball as a kid? I guess it's called soccer-baseball in canada<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Canadians do have some different ways about them. Soccer-baseball does sound hilarious. So does poutine, though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha well I do like poutine, but I think that yes soccer-baseball sounds incredibly dumb haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if they have poutine at American baseball games? I heard they started a poutine restaurant in California.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow that sounds delicious right now, do you ever shop at Target btw?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like Target better than Walmart, although I don't know about the corporations as a whole and how they do business. I hear more about Walmart being unfair...don't really ever hear that about Target but who knows, I guess...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I don't really know, I do go to target and apparently Vermont is the only state that doesn't have a Target in it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's very interesting. I wonder why Target isn't in Vermont, yet. Also, I wonder if Walmart is in Vermont, now? Maybe they have Bi Mart...although it's not very upscale for Vermont!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that'd be funny to see! what is screwy is a state senator actually works at target in order to make enough money to get by<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard recently that eighty percent of the supplements sold in places like Target contain NONE of the advertised herbs in them. We really need a better rules system.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow ya I agree, that's really messed up, at least Target doesn't carry tobacco products that is good<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very true! I wasn't aware until recently that Target was originally named Good fellow Dry Goods! Now THAT is retro! hahah<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha definitely an improvement! pretty crazy that it has been around since 1902 and was founded in Minneapolis!<end_of_turn>

hi how are you? do you like to dance?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like to watch dancing performances. I do not dance. I wish I could.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not dance either. i am terrible. i might hurt people in the vicinity. i would hurt their feelings.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you know who Bruce Lee was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do! he was a great martial artist that wowed american audiences with his prowess.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was also a great dancer. He won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship in 1958.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess he had a tremendous sense of rhythm too. I would love to see footage of him dancing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was before youtube. Probably, you cannot find it online.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that is too bad. he was probably a real ladies man too. Tupac was also a great dancer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A ballet dancer! He was the mouse king in his high school production of the Nutcracker.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would love to see video of that too. he was a backup dancer for digital underground too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That was interesting. If I were not self conscious, I might be able to dance just like what babies do when they hear music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I probably could not dance as a baby even. It feels like work to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I understand. Do you know that professional ballet dancers can go through four pairs of pointe shoes in a week?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If i did it, it would be a dozen pairs. or forty. LOL i would probably bust the floor too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Talking about babies earlier, apparently, babies will dance spontaneously when they hear music and smile more when they hit the beat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, i believe it. I wonder if i was like that. i think i wasnt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Perhaps you can ask your parents.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess i could. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was nice chatting with you too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good weekend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Perhaps I will learn how to dance this weekend at the community center. If babies can dance, I think I can too. Good night and have a good weekend to you too.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
How's it going, have you seen the 2018 release of Black Panther?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I haven't but I understand there is some parallel being drawn between it and "The Wiz"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not to familiar with the Wiz, is that based on the Wizard of Oz?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, it has much different music (e.g., funk and disco). The movie had Michael Jackson. It doesn't have the song "Be a Lion."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've heard the Wiz as being described as weird, from the description I tend to agree<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is kind of weird... The music and the dancing are at the core. You might remember the song "Ease on Down the Road."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe but not that I think of it the normal Wizard of Oz is weird, like really weird so I guess the Wiz should be weird too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is a big cultural difference between the two, like a farm in KS vs. Detroit. Funny, it is at the Ford Theater in D.C.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ford Theater, isn't that were Lincoln was assassinated?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep. I didn't realize it was still a theater. I would have imagined it as a museum. The tickets are $20-$73.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess $20-$73 for tickets isn't a bad price, if the Wiz is performed near me maybe I'll check it out<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I may see the Black Panther. I guess he is the richest of all superheros with $500B. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne aren't even close.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nope, I hear Chadwick Boseman did a great job as T'Challa, he was great in Civil War<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't even remember it being a comic book. I wonder if people confused it with the radical civil rights group under the same name?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to think Black Panther was named after the group but I guess the comic came out before the group<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. Now I'm wondering it the civil rights group got their name from the comic? They changed the name to "Black Leopard" -- doesn't sound as cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nope, black leopard sounds kinda lame<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't realize Siri was intended for Android until Apple bought it inn 2010.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me neither. I personally find Siri creepy, especially when it sings the same song as hal 9000<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yikes! Hal creeps me out. It's like picturing Tupac as a ballet dancer. I guess he did that in high school. I can't see that...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I got to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you ever think about how celebrities in science are rarer than in music, film, sport, and politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I never thought of that. Were you a fan of Stephen Hawking?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that it was amazing how he was almost completely paralyzed and could accomplish so much.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I agree, he was brilliant as well. He was the ultimate example of mind over matter.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was one of the first people to apply quantum physics to black holes and make predictions with a process named after him as "Hawking radiation"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah his understanding and explaining of quantum physics and other matter is incredible.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't really understand what he understood because it seems so foreign to me, but he also had a lot of wit as well to share with the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I am the same, it is very complex stuff. There are scientists who theorize that universes evolve through natural selection like species do here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hawking was very active up until the end of life even travelling and lecturing internationally. I have to give credit as well to his supporters<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I agree with you there. I guess there is a radical theory that there is only one electron in the universe! I'm sure Hawking would have disagreed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably. Also, there is a region of space maybe pulling galaxies outside the observable universe. There must be so much out there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, yeah it is wild to think about the universe as a whole in general.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Strange but there are some stars that are cold enough that they can be touched by a human hand<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a strange fact, very cool. Did you know that Kim jong-un has a degree in physics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure who that is, but I wonder if Hawkings would validate the tidbit that the universe could have come from nothing without violating physics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure that is an interesting thought and he is the leader of North Korea.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow! Robin Williams in aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrity voicings of animated film characters.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. I guess Pixas spent 3 years studying the physics of curly hair in order to get merida's hair in brave right.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
People don't realize how much time is spent on these details. Judge Judy makes a heap of money at $123,000 per episode being highest paid celebrity behind Lebron James<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Holy cow that is so much an episode. I wonder how much other tv people make.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, but I guess not as much. Carol Burnett was the first celebrity on Sesame Street :)<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you know who Stephen Hawking is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, yes I do. I actually just recently watched a movie about him as well. The Theory Of Everything, very well done and explained a lot about his life.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, I've seen that one too. Did you know a lot of his work is around blackholes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Did you know that the deepest note in the universe is emitted by a black hole!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It wouldn't surprise me. I think a lot of his work was around the Event Horizon's if I remember correctly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If you fold a paper in half 103 times it would be as thick as the observable universe!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Somehow I don't believe that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok. Thats cool. I have no idea if thats true, something I read recently in some cool facts. This is no where near my area of expertise. I did read that there may be a universe inside the black hole though, isn't that crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they have a lot of wacky ideas about the universe. That much I do know. They also propose it is a hologram.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also read that the universe used to be opaque due to there being too much plasma that light could not travel through it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I've read that as well. There are stars in the universe that are cold enough to be touched by humans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats really cool. I can't imagine touching a star. Have you ever heard of a hubble telescope? Apparently it discovered a galaxy so big it shouldn't exist, according to physics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that is pretty cool. I know a lot about Hubble, it is a pretty cool telescope.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sounds like it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I remember when they did the space walk to fix it, remember that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not. Was that recently?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was about 15 years ago, apparently the hubble is having problems again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I see. Guess they really need to make some upgrades. A lot in technology has changed in years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it does. Pretty bad, the hubble can see a lot of things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know turbulence is one of physics great mysteries?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did, but they sort of have it figured out. I hate turbulence. Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good, how are you? Celebrities in science are quite rare aren't they? I was a fan of Stephen Hawking. I'm sad he finally passed away from ALS.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was tremendous thinker. Gosh, I wonder if he was as smart as Kim Jong-un, who has a degree in physics, supposedly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would think that he is smarter. I wonder how it felt to have such a physical disability but yet such a sharp mind.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In his younger years, he wasn't badly afflicted. I wonder whether he was one of the scientists who theorize that universes evolve through natural selection<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hmm, it wouldn't surprise me. Hawking went further than Einstein did on understanding of gravity. Hawking developed new graphical methods that let him visualize physics of light paths in warped space, black holes, and the convulsions of the universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And he did all that while battling ALS. There is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe. Does this make any sense? I wonder who came up with that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hmm, it does not to me but I know I'm not much of a scientific mind. Hawking strengthened the Big Bang theory as well that says that the galaxies were in a compressed area smaller than a single atom before the big bang.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hard to imagine, but I guess the mathematics supports it. The universe could have come from nothing without violating physics. Particles can pop in and out of existence, so I guess a universe worth could as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it's hard for me to relate to scientists and all of their elaborate theories but Hawking was blessed with wit. He was quite the jokester, which makes him very relatable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think he took to his celebrity status quite well. Pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities. I wonder if Hawking ever got a chance to see it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of celebrities, did you know that Judge Judy is the highest paid celebrity after lebron james?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The woman is a legend. Over $100k per episode. Probably a longer career too. But she probably hasn't done any animated voice work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess celebrities doing voice work is a fairly new thing in terms of history. Robin Williams was the first to start the trend of celebrities doing animated film voices. This was for the movie Aladdin.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did he ever appear on Sesame Street? Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the children's series. He would have been great on that show!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a good question! Do you like celebrity chefs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not especially. I think it's more about them than the food. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, not really. It's cool that a celebrity chef from Ethiopia is using his fame for good. He believes he can combat his country's hunger problems<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think he'll have a positive impact. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, it has been fun. This talk of food has made me hungry though!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
How's it going? Did you know that the Universe could be just a giant holgram?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, Wow that is a hard concept to digest! Did you know it may be possible to touch a star?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I had no idea, that would be awesome though as long as the star isn't too cold<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have confirmed there are cold stars and can be touch by our hands<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's pretty cool. I wonder if it has anything to do with the region of space that may be pulling galaxies outside the observable universe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow the universe is so marvelous and complex, there are many theories, for example that there is only one electron in the universe!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be insane if there is only one electron in the universe, it would mean I wasted a lot of time in chemistry class<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a crazy theory! I totally agree. It is good there has been curious people like the Greeks, Copernicus, Newton. Not always right but opened the way for research!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, it's interesting that the Universe may have evolved through natural selection like the species on earth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
All this has to do with Physics... did you know Pixar studied the physics of curly har for 3 years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, that's pretty crazy, I wonder if they asked Kim Jong-un to help since he has a degree in physics<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hahahaha It was for Maida's hair in "Brave" very different hair from Kim's... but maybe he helped with some knowledge<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe Kim could explain how the universe was able to come from nothing without violating the rules of physics<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hahaha that would not be easy! Talking about Pixar, did you ever hear about their secret room?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, I heard Pixar let's celebrities visit it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw it in the extras of Toy Story, its cool! do you know about the highest paid celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A little, I know Jude Judy is the highest paid before Lebron James<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow that is crazy!! how much does she make?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Jude Judy is paid 123,000 an episode for her show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is a lot! Do you know Rbin williams was a pioneer in voicing characters for animation movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes in Aladdin. Well I have to go, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like to dance?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, no I do not , do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do when I have a few drinks in me lol. I turned into a michael jackson type dancer<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny, I have never been much into it. I can do a few Fortnite dances because my kids force me to.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol all kids know how to do that, they are hilarious! Michael Jackson has a patent from that lean he does<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe that, music is such a strong persuader.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
for sure, I love music. Babies do too. Did you kids as baby dance a lot?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My son use to bob his head a lot to music when he was a baby, so I believe it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I believe it too, I am watching my 10 month old right now shake her little behind to some music while standing up ha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you see the black panther movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep, it was a great movie. A lot of people watched it, I think it made a billion or more at the box office, did you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I cant believe Disney now owns all of Marvel!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right, talk about a great investment! Black Panther is the richest of all superheroes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really I would have thought Tony Stark would have been!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, or Batman! I think Black Panther is worth 500 billion dollars!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's crazy I wonder if he would use Siri? Im sure he uses a virtual assistant somewhere in that fortress of technology.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
right lol. I have siri but never utilize that technology much, do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use it only to make my grocery list! What voice do you use for yours?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a great idea, I just use the default one, the original I think. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I recently switched from the Australian voice to the U.K version, gotta keep my women interesting fresh!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I will have to check that out lol! It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your weekend!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you enjoy baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Just haven't followed it in the past few years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me neither I just like to watch the World Series from time to time, its a sport with a lot of history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Find it funny that the isotopes, a minor league, was named after a team on the simpsons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is funny, I used to love them in The Simpsons do you like the Yankees? that is one of the most popular teams.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm a Phillies person. I like that the Yankees uniforms doesn't have the players names on their back. Interesting concept.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is an interesting concept, did you hear about the pitchers that swapped families permanently ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How can you swap families? Didn't hear that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that happened back in 1973, and I dont know how that can work seems like both families are nuts<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL Must be! How about that 17 year old female striking out babe ruth and lou gehrig. Wonder what ever happened to her?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She did? woah, maybe she was hired to play in the league lol , Ruth and Gehrig must had felt terrible specially because of all the sexism of the time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For sure!! I never knew a team receives 3 bases if an opposing team player catches a ball in their hat!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know about that rule, maybe it happens often, do you know the team Chicago Cubs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. They're the team that only won the series twice and those wins were back to back.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they havent won the series since then, I guess the team is cursed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cursed for being greedy lol!! Your Yankees have the second highest attendance record!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess that was the price they had to pay and really? the second one? I thought they were first<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I might have misread that. 2011 they were second highest. Anyway it was nice chatting with you!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh so that was back in 2011 that makes more sense, and it was great chatting I agree have a nice day bye<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes thank you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ok bye again lol<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I am guessing long ball is really working for the Dodgers, what do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it really worked for them this season, just didn't have enough in the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Who do you think will win out of the top ten?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For next season? Well I think the Yankees will have a better season.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, they seem good. I also was happy to see the Brewers finally rising to the challenge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey now your talking, the Brewers are my favorite team. I was upset when they lost game 7 to the dodgers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to live in Wisconsin so still happy when they win. LA team looks pretty good too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice! Yeah LA has been really good the last few seasons, I think they will have another good one next year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you think next year will favor slugging hitters again?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it will. I think there will be even more home runs next year, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think so as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you watch much of the world series this year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I missed it, I work odd hours.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah after the Brewers lost I didn't have too much interest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I just read that in 1973 two yankees pitchers swapped families permanently, is that crazy or what?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is wild! I know Babe Ruth was a famous Yankee, did you ever see the movie the pride of the yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not, to be honest I'm not a sports fan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I watched it recently it was pretty good, Babe Ruth played himself in the movie, a good Yankee movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting! Did you see they suspended Don Mattingly because he refused to get a haircut? I can't imagine that happening these days.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I remember the Simpsons doing a parody of that one time as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now you're talking! Love the Simpsons!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh yeah, the softball episode is my favorite of all time, Daryl Strawberry was in it, he was a former Yankee right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you remember which season? I'll have to catch that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it was season 3 or 4 maybe, but I think the best ever.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I love this time of year. Baseball opening day is just around the corner. Are you a fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have been to a few games, mostly New York Yankee games in the Bronx.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well they Yankees are the most successful team of all time. By far the most World Series wins.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Bobby Richard on the Yankees was the only person to win a World Series MVP despite losing the series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I can imagine that was bittersweet for him then. Did you go to old Yankee Stadium or the new one that opened in 2009?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have been to both stadiums. I suppose I am one of the numbers that support the Yankees having the second highest attendance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you a Mets fan too? I know they are not as popular as the Yankees but they have a big following too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am definitely a bigger fan of the Mets. I like underdog stories. I never knew in 1974 they shared Shea Stadium with the Mets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think the Jets and Giants played at Shea at some point to. Lots of work for the groundskeepers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet. It was around the same time in 1973 that two Yankee pitchers swapped families permanently. How unusual.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably the strangest baseball trade in MLB history.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha that is very good. Speaking of strange the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Chicago cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Ottoman empire was in existence in 2016? That does not seem accurate.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it was the World Series won before 2016. Because according the the facts the Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win back to back world series and haven't won since, with exception to 2016.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have to respect Cubs fans for sticking with the team for 100 years of losing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Baseball is all about tradition. That is probably why a married couple scheduled all 2430 major league games up until 2005.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Can you imagine the planning and cost that would go into that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They were great at managing it. I never heard of any mistakes. Speaking of managers. Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are techincally able to play.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. Also baseball is just as popular in Japan if not more so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is interesting. It is so popular they are surprised to find it is actually America's national pastime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A lot of Japanese players have gone on to have great careers in the MLB. Ichiro is one of the best hitters of all time.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sure. baseball is intersting. i try to watch the world series. you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, interesting how the cubs were the first team to win them back to back and then had really bad luck some would say the team was cursed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think that they suffer a curse. what can they do to lift the curse? is there a spell to cast? A sacrifice to make?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont know, thats an interesting question maybe sacrifice a goat and call it a day? do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not a yankees fan. could we sacrifice another goat against the yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sounds like a solid plan, you get the goat lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I figure that there must be something that can both lift the cubs curse and transport it to the yankees. Who has the most world series thus far?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea, I would have to say the Yankees,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, i think the Yankees have the most. Is this the result of voodoo and witchcraft? if so, then it can be undone through voodoo.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea about magic, maybe Bobby Richardson is also cursed, he is the only person to win the MVP award and the lose the series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is a shame. The new york yankees suspended don mattingly because he refused to get a haircut. Does that seem fair?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, it does not seem fair at all, there is also a Lost Yankees player<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lost? How did they lose him? that sounds almost intentional. What about bill oreilly? he has been pretty sneaky too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea, I think it means a player in the Lost series, and what about him? what did old Bill do this time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, he pretended to be a member of the press while he was in college in order to get season tickets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I heard about that, thats so funny, best part is that it worked, he fooled many and got to watch the games for free<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ol Bill is a cunning one. you gotta keep a close eye on him. maybe if he had worn a uniform, he could pretend to be a manager.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He could just to get season tickets I know I would, he sure pulled a fast one on many<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess i was never tempted to get season tickets, but if I were, i would probably stray into the chicanery that bill committed. his sin is the sin that i would commit, were i in his shoes. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess we are different that way lol, I would follow Bills footsteps and get me free tickets and I agree its been a great and fun chat thank you very much, bye.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like baseball. dont get much chance to watch. usually watch the WS. you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love baseball as well. Did you know managers can technically play which is the reason they wear uniforms?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet that is from the old days. I bet in the old days, one of the players was chosen to be manager.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha that would be funny to see. Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What? Why? is kickball not clear enough? boy those canadians need to have a word for everything LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL I agree. A man once found $3 million dollars worth in baseball cards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is a terrific find. i would probably sell a few, but keep the rest as an investment. what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, I would definitely sell the rest so I could retire early lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, that's true. buy stock and live off the dividends. did you watch the world series last year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't get to watch it. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I watched a few games. the dodgers lost again. they really have trouble in the series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm a huge Cincinnati Reds fan. Just hoping I can see a World Series one day. Who do you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i like the bay area teams. they havent done very well recently. the giants were good a few years back.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool. Did you know Babe Ruth was caught stealing in game 7 in the 1926 World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
the babe didnt look like much of a runner. he could hit, but run? im surprised he tried to steal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha I agree. The Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Cubs won the World Series which is just crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is amazing. the cubs are in the history books. they are history. not much has happened to change their place in the history books<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not particularly. they always have a ton of money and can buy the best players. it is hard on the small market teams.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure. Well, it was good talking to you. Have a good day.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I will watch it if it is on but I don't follow many teams. Do you know a lot about it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not a lot but a little. Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically eligible to play if they need to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wouldn't have guessed that. I always thought of the managers as those out of shape guys who yelled at the players.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. Did you know that baseball is hugely popular in Japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That I did know. They have some great teams over there. I think they were surprised at how popular it is in america as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they are which is so strange to me. Did you hear about the guy who found baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Weren't they worth a few million dollars? Could you imagine finding something like that!?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they were. 3 million to be exact. That would be amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if there were a lot of Yankee cards in there. They seem to be the powerhouse team of baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They do. Speaking of, in 1973 two Yankees pitchers swapped families permanently!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Um how would that even work? Like they married each others wives and raised the others kids? So strange!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess. I have no idea why they would do that. Bill O'Reilly made up a fake press organization to get Yankee's season tickets while he was in college.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Given the price of yankee tickets that is one way to get in I guess. I wonder if that started his love of news as a career.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a good question but I also can't believe it worked. Did you know that until their recent win the last time the Cubs won a World Series the Ottoman Empire still existed?!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Makes sense. I might not know a ton about baseball but i know that the cubs are always the underdogs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Definitely. They were also the first team to win back-to-back world series but then they never won again until the recent win.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You have to wonder why when teams like the yankees win all the time. Is it the money in the team or lack of players? very strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is no salary cap in baseball and they have all of the money. They should cap it like the NFL does.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be a good thing. I think it would increase the excitement of the game because you would have more evenly matched teams.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. They've been among the leaders in attendance since 2011 and you know that's because they always win. I think that would level that out as well.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I sometimes follow baseball. usually around the world series. you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, usually when my home team is doing good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i find the game to be too slow most of the time. I would prefer to watch the highlights and get the gist.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they are better to attend in person. Or I should say they used to be better until they jacked the price of a beer up to $12.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not buy anything at games. i get loaded up before and then partake after. during the game, no.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's probably a good idea. Did you know somebody found $3 mill of baseball cards in their attic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would love to make such a find. i would sell some of the cards, and keep the rest as an investment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, me too. They must have been very old cards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they were from before 1900. classics. very rare. collectors were probably pretty excited.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
WOW, I wonder if the Honus Wagner card is still the most valuable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It probably is. i have no idea what its value is, but it has to be one of the most.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it is the most valuable card ever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is what i heard. i know that cards came with packs of cigarettes. that has changed! LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hilarious! I wonder what it is worth these days?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i have no idea. millions? you got me. some tech billionaire will want the thing and pay a ton.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that is probably true. Did you know kickball in canada is called soccer baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a cutesy name. i wonder why they chose that. kickball is better, i think.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I'm not sure, but it seems hilarious. Well, nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I enjoyed chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Take it easy!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not know much about baseball but I have been to a bunch of games, including a few Yankee games. It does have the second highest attendance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball games are fun to go to but they take a long time. I usually end up walking around the concourse for a couple innings.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew why baseball managers wore uniforms. I thought it was just to blend in with the team and support the team. Ends up they are able to play if the need arises.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Looking at some of the managers today I think it's more of a tradition now. I know in the past there were a few times where there were actual player/coaches. I believe Ted Williams was one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I found it very surprising that a married couple had been scheduling all 2430 major league baseball games up until 2005. I figured it was just a computer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Baseball is deep into it's tradition. They probably didn't worry about any form of software until it became too complicated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You're right. That's probably why baseball cards are so popular too, tradition. A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in his grandfathers attic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Also the market was not as saturated back then as it is today, now so many different companies make cards that there isn't a chance for them to be as rare.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew that is why the old ones are so valuable. I thought it was simply the popularity of the player. In Japan baseball is so popular fans do not realize it is actually America's pastime. I wonder what their baseball cards go for.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's interesting when a Japanese player wants to play in the MLB. The team gets money for that player leaving.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that. In Canada kickball is called soccer-baseball. Odd how a different country views baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if they have any different rules than we do? It would be interesting to see if they put their own twist on the game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
When I think of baseball, I think of countries like Japan and America. I don't really think of Canada and I especially do not think of the Ottoman Empire which were still in existence the last time the Chicago Cubs won the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's also very popular in Latin America. A lot of professional players are from Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true. I suppose Canada does have influence because in the 1992 world series the US Marine Corps color guard brought in the Canadian flag upside down.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That must have been embarrassing. Hopefully everyone realized it was a mistake!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well if Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 and lose the 1926 world series with his team down by one run and everyone still loves him then I am sure it is okay about the flag all those years later.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure it is since I've never heard it brought up until now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well thanks so much for chatting to me about baseball. I learned a lot today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thanks, it was fun chatting with you as well!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello are you a fan of baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello! I like the New York yankee's! how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really a fan of baseball personally<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't follow it but I like Baseball! The world series is always exciting! The New York Yankees have a lost player....never found! How odd.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is odd... a man once found some 1900s baseball cards in his granfathers attic and they where worth 3 million bucks<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, lucky! Did you know kickball is considered a type of baseball in Canada? Interesting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting! Baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans are suprised to know it is considered Americas national pastime<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny, it has always been America's favorite pastime! I wonder if they take Baseball as serious as American's do lol, or if they watch the world series as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no clue... so you are a yankees fan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they are a very interesting team. Way back in 73 2 of the Yankees pitchers swapped families, permanently, pretty odd.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is odd.. Bobby Richardson is the only person to win a world series mvp despite losing the series.. I know the Yankees are pretty well known bbut not to much else about baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I don't know many Baseball teams. I do like the world series because it is pretty exciting to watch. Long ago, the women's world cup had higher tv ratings than the world series though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is pretty crazy.. my daughter plays softball so that is interesting to know... the chicago cubs where the first baseball team to win back to back world series and havent won since lol my step dad is a cubs fan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love softball, I played on a league for a couple of years. So yep I can appreciate baseball because it is much tougher to play. The Cubs, I really don't follow them but I do love our home team too even if they are not so great lol..<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah i dont really pay attention to baseball this is the first year I have somewhat paid attention to football I went to a Cheifs game and it was a pretty awesome experience<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cool! I haven't been to a Football game before, but have been to a baseball and a basketball and I think it was all pretty fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it is exciting thats for sure<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It really was. Do you know what the Ottoman Empire is? I guess it was still in existence when the cubs last won the World series....not sure what that is though.....<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Im not sure what it is either but I guess that means it was long ago lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha, very true! I didn't know Baseball managers wore uniforms...in case they need to play! Cool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is awesome all part of the team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly! Well, I will continue to follow a little baseball haha, and try and watch the World series as well. You have a great night! Great chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do - it was my favorite sport as a kid. I even knew the married couple who scheduled all 2000+ games every year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know about them, I guessed they had a talent for that, can you imagine the time that would take!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it was a lot of work. I just wish my grandfather had saved baseball cards - one lucky man found 3 million dollars worth of them in his grandfather's attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
3 million dolars no kidding! that is awesome, what a lucky break he had,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For sure. Wonder if baseball cards exist in Japan? The game is really popular there as well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet they due, they really love the sport our there, do you have a favorite baseball team? I like the Yankees<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am an Atlanta Braves fan but I could not help but love the Cubs when they finally won the World Series a few years ago<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I bet they were really exited, they could lift that curse finally<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they won back to back world series and then never won again for years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Babe Ruth was caught stealing a base and then his team lost back in the year 1926<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah talk about blowing the world series for your team - in game 7 even!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right, he still was considered a legend, things could have turn out differently if he didnt had the guts to steal that base<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. baseball is not as popular as it once was though - the womens world cup had higher tv ratings than the world series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It did? Wow, that is suprising, womans sports usually dont get support at all<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes as little as foreign sports! During the 92 series the us marines carried the canada flag into the stadium upside down!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder why, do you know the reason for that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
An accident I think! They were clueless. I hate the Yankees because they win so much. Do you like them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like them yeah lol, did you know theres a Lost Yankees player!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How did they lose him? I knew that two Yankee pitchers swapped families permanently. Not sure what was up with that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is werid, I can undertand if it was a temporary thing but making it permanent, wow, I bet they hated their families<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi! I recently learned that baseball managers are required to wear uniforms as well because they have to technically play should there be a need. So that must mean, they must stay in shape too right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is interesting, do you think they ever played in a game ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think so, I don't watch too much baseball and I don't collect cards either, but I might reconsider seeing how valuable they are when a man found three million dollars worth of cards in his grandfather's attic!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had heard about that, imagine being set for life overnight like that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
How would you sell it? I imagine the buyers would be a small population.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I suppose so, do you think he took a loss in value trying to sell them for what he could get?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I would and I wonder if he knew the value when he sold them. If he didn't that would be very painful.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That really would be sad if someone exploited him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you have a favorite baseball team? Mine is the Yankees.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not too into baseball, but who is the "lost" yankees player?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that's a little frightening and do they mean "lost" as in lost his way because of the fame or "lost" as in missing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure, I just know there is a lost one. I heard once they suspended mattingly because he would not get a haircut<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The players to don a certain haircut? That's pretty strict! I wonder whether or not people still try to sneak into those games like what Bill O' Reilly did with the fake press pass. That's pretty smart since computers and photoshop didn't seem to be too popular back then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true, you can get away with a lot back then, now we know too much!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, have you ever been to a live game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i have not, I know it is America's pastime though!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would argue that it was football! I didn't know there was a women's world cup has well and it even had higher television ratings than the world series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would as well, but apparently it is very popular in japan as well!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder when they carried the flag upside down in the 1992 world series, whether or not that was the doing of Japan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe it is because it was the canadian flag?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh it was the Canadian flag! What was the Marine Corps doing carrying around the Canadian flag instead of the US flag?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe they carried both, I am not sure!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see, well it was great chatting with you! Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there what do you know about baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know that it is a sport, played with a ball called a baseball. There are bases, and players, and bats. And hot dogs and popcorn.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha hot dogs sound good! and yes the objective is to hit the ball and run around the bases to get to home plate<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is one of the few sports in which the player scores points, not a ball or puck.I wonder how much each baseball costs to make.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats a good question, but you could buy a lot fo baseballs if you found millions of dollars worth of cards in your attic like that one guy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He must have wondered why his grandfather didn't do anything with them. I would sell some and keep some.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya kind of a bum move to sel all your grandpas cards, especially since theyve been there since 1940<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He might have needed the cash. Did you know that the opposing team receives three bases if a player catches a baseball in their cap? I've never heard that rule.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow didn't know that! also didn't know baseball is super popular in Japan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very popular, but not as good as the US version. Different experience in the stadium as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've heard that, funny the Japan are surprised that baseball is actually americas pasttime haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have something called the Japan series. It doesn't draw the attention of the World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
huh I'll look into it, can you believe until 2005 a husband and wife team scheduled all the MLB games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They must have had a computer to help them. All those games? It couldn't be done on paper.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I agree, like 2500 games to schedule a year, that would get tedius!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder how much they got paid. The Cubs haven't had much luck, have they. They were the first baseball team to win back-to-back world series; and haven't won since.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
no you're right, what do you think about the Yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have too much money. In general, there is too much superstition in baseball. Ben Affleck caused the production of Gone Girl to shut down for 4 days because he refused to wear a Yankees cap on screen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
its funny they started out as the Highlanders but changed their name in 1913<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Yankees is a very American name. Their logo comes from a medal designed for a police officer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh thats cool, wild that they have the 2nd highest attendance in the league!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Yankees are an institution. They've won the most World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya, and I don'w know but apparently the Yankees "lost" a player somehow, do you know about that?<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
How's it going, do you follow baseball much? The Dodgers beat the Braves 6-0 in game 1 of the national league division series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I follow a little. That is exciting for Dodger fans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea their starter Ryu had a great game pitching 7 innings without a run<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard Maz Muncy had a three-run, second inning blast.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea it's amazing how many home runs were hit last season, with the Yankess setting a record 267 in a season<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Home runs make the game more exciting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep, 7 of the playoffs teams in the division round were in the top 10 for Home Runs last season<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is amazing. I just learned that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea I remember Pete Rose played a few games while as a manager<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never heard that before. I always thought it was funny to see the managers dressed up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if baseball managers in Japan ever play, apparently Japanese fans are surprised to find out baseball is considered America's pasttime<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why they are surprised by that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess Japan really loves baseball lol, I wonder if they have valuable cards like the one worth 3 million dollars found in a grandfather's attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if its newly popular or if its been there for awhile.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, it's funny the ottoman empire was still in existence the last time the Cubs won the World Series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish there was a date to reference.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I believe it was 1908 before the Baltimore Orioles moved to NY and were renamed the Yankees<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! It is funny that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in canada!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lol, it's pretty funny Bill O'Reilly invented a fake press organization to get free season tickets to the Yankees<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder where the lost yankee player is<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I got to go, maybe I'll look for him<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, are you a baseball fan? My favorite team is the Yankees, they have been around since 1901<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, Phillies my team. Yankees lost me a bet for a $1 with my grandma when I was very young so I gave up on them. Did you know that Roberto Osuna hasn't pitched since May 6 serving a 75 game suspension<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I knew he was suspended but not for that long,what team is he on now?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe the Astros<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, I knew he was on the blue jays, that's a pretty high risk trade considering Osuna violated the domestic violence policy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Apparently the Yankees trade with the Reds for Chapman before the 2016 season when Chapman was set to serve a suspension for a domestic abuse incident is similar<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, I remember that, although Chapman is a great closer I wish the Yankees wouldn't of traded for him in 2016 due to his incidents<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It seems risky. But the Astros seemed to want a late-inning reliever badly enough to get Osuna<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, as former world series champions they started to get worried they only had a 4 game lead in their division<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that a married couple scheduled all the major league games for 24 years up until 2005<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now but that must of took them a lot of time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A man found $3 million in baseball cards in his grandfather's attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm surprised they were still in good condition after being hidden since the 1940s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I wish I found them. Interestingly speaking of baseball it says that in 1973 two yankee pitchers switched families permanently. I wonder what that means?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure either, maybe they both divorced their wives and then married them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In August 1991 Don Mattingly was actually suspended for not getting a haircut. I wonder if they still enforce that rule?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's possible, I know they made Johnny Damon cut his hair and shave his beard when he signed with the yankees<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. Interestingly, the woman's world cup had higher TV ratings than the world series in the U.S. That is cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool, I think that was the year the US women won the world cup<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
great! The ottoman empire was still around when the Chicago Cubs last won the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lol, I think they need to update that fact unless the ottoman empire made a resurgence a couple years ago<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
So how bout them Yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How are they doing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They are perennially amoung the leaders in the MLB attendance and made the post season 2 years in a row<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you believe that Osuna has served a 75 game suspension due to domestic violence<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's crazy, I don't know what the Astro's were thinking taking the trade from the Blue Jays<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why he's allowed back<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess it's his first offense and they are waiting to find out about his upcoming court hearing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh. the Astros think Osuna is remorseful and had enough counseling to not harm anyone in baseball I guess<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they are giving him a "fresh start" which means as long as he plays good we don't care<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He says he won't let them down.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If they are serious of giving him a fresh start they should wait till next year, he hasn't pitched in the majors since May 6 anyway<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The trade left the Astros in a sticky situation. All that money invested and what return yet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard the Nationals might trade Bryce Harper, maybe Houston should have tried to get him instead<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They might need him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He's good but not as good as Aaron Judge though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hopefully Aaron Judge will not be out for more than 3 weeks<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, he's the face of the franchise now since Jeter left<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know the Yankees had been the Highlanders?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea I read about that a long time ago, I didn't remember them starting off as the Baltimore Orioles though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that is strange and I wouldn't have known that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know they shared Shea Stadium with the Mets in 1974 and 75 either<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, interesting fact. I never heard that one either<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
What do you think about the Orioles and the signing of Alex Cobb?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well I think theyre doing what they need to do but I don't know much about baseball, do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know a bit, I tend to follow some of the games and I think that it was a good call, baseball is an interesting sport indeed, many cool facts about the game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh ya for sure, like how the MLB uses 160k balls in a given year for all their games<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats a lot of balls, just like a single couple used to schedule all of the 2430 games of the league, seems like a lot of hard work<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that does seem like a lot of work, did you hear that a 17 year old girl struck out Babe Ruth, I wonder what happened to her<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? a 17 year old struck out one of the greatest players of the history of the game!!! thats crazy!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup, she should have gone pro, do you know what happens if youre in the outfield and catch a ball with your hat in baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, what happens if you do that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well you apparently get 3 bases, I never knew that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? I wonder why it doesnt happen often, I havent seen it, that would be interesting to see though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
nope I think they should do that more, do you like the Yankees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they are a great team, the team has a lot of history for sure, do you like them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do actually, they win a lot and I like winning teams haha, I guess they were created in 1901<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Its a winning team for sure lol, you know that in 1973 pitchers just swapped families permanently, that seems really odd<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha wow that is odd, pretty dumb how Ben Affleck refused to wear a Yankees hat because he was a red sox fan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It does seem dumb but I guess I can respect that, he must feel identified with his team, you know that a player got suspended because he refused to get a haircut!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow that seems dumb! kind of weird that their uniform doesn't put names on the backs, they say it takes away the attention from the team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah so what do you think about the World Series? its been played for more than a hundred years a lot of history there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya I don't watch it but I'm glad its there, I guess its ya been going on since about 1903<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah since the year 1903, its been a long time for sure, the Chicago Cubs were the first team to win it back to back,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup and then they didn't win it for like 70 years or something, I guess the Dodgers have lost more world series than any other team which also stinks haha<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like baseball. I can't wait for the season to start. Do you like baseball? Did you know that it evolved from a game in England?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like the game, yeah, and no I didnt know that, I wonder why its not popular in England then<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know. Baseball is a form of an old bat and ball game played there back in the mid-18th century. It's weird that it's popular in the US and especially Japan and not there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is odd, maybe as odd as the managers wearing uniforms in the field,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've always wondered why they do that. I assume it's to show team membership but I don't really know.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Its because they can also play if they think its the best thing, if the need arises they can step into th field, did you hear about that man that found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So a manager can play? I didn't know that. If we are talking about the same man he found old baseball cards, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he found card that belonged to his grand father, they were just hidden in the attic, crazy luck right!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely! Those cards had been hidden away since the 1940s! I guess the people living there either never went in the attic or never looked around.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So you said you liked baseball so maybe like the Yankees? what are your thought on the team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like the Yankees. There's some odd stuff with them though. I mean, did you hear about the two pitchers that swapped families permanently back in 1973?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt, why would they do that lol, that is really odd I have to Google that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is really odd but I guess it was the 70s so who knows. I've even heard there is a"lost" yankees player. That is especially odd to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What does that even mean, a ''lost'' Yankees player? can you elaborate more about it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I really can't, sorry. I just heard that one thing, a lost player. No one ever expanded on it to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I see, well nothing Google cant solve then, you know a player got suspended because he refused to take a haircut<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I didn't! What player?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
His name was Don Mattingly, crazy right, that happened back in the year 1991<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You know, I would have thought it would have been much longer ago than that. I guess I just figured there were stricter rules on hair back in the day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so, still sounds a bit stupid to suspend a player just because of that, I think he was a key player for the team so yeah.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there! Are you a baseball fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not really. I find the sport difficult to watch and slow. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like it. I think because it just it's something that always makes me think of warm weather and summer time. Did you know they call kickball soccer-baseball in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is nice to sit outside and watch a baseball game in warm weather. I agree. I didn't know they call kickball "soccer-baseball" in Canada. That is funny.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder why they call it that. I'm always wondered why baseball managers wear uniforms...I guess they can play for their teams if needed. Interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you know who the baseball player Angel Hernandez is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He is actually an umpire. He has a bad reputation for blowing calls.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's what I heard. And he tried to accuse the Yankees and Joe Torre of discrimination against him. I think being an umpire must be difficult<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wouldn't want to be one. Especially the ref in the NFL who blew that call against the Saints and cost them a chance of going to the super bowl. You'll have to google it if you don't know about it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard about that in the news. Same thing with being a ref in a tennis match or a soccer match. It's a tough job. At least there is video playback. But human error plays a roll always.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It does. Did you know that baseball is really popular in Japan too?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I did. It is popular in South Korea too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There's been a few Koreans who have played in the MLB. Shin Shoo Choo from the Rangers is from there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh okay, cool. Do you like watching World Cup soccer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. I watch it when I can.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard that more people in the US watched Women's World Cup soccer than the World Series, which I find hard to believe. The final games of the Women's World Cup are always very exciting though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I believe it! Soccer is super popular compared to baseball. Speaking of the world series...did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 series. I wonder if he was playing for the Yankees then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! Well soccer is an easier game to watch than baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is. More action. I wonder if they have hair length rules in soccer? Don Mattingly of the Yankees once got suspended because he refused to get a haircut. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think so in soccer. Many of the men have long hair. Remember Alexi Lalas with the long hair? Speaking of baseball, did you know a female pitched was once booted from MLB for striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You're right! A lot of them tie their hair back. I didn't know that. How interesting! It's been fun chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Same here! I didn't know there was a female pitcher to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Have a good evening!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm going to have to look that up. You have a good evening too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love it. Do you know why the managers wear uniforms during games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they can play if their teams need them so they need to be ready<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it is called soccer-baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I guess it makes sense that it has elements of both games<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Do you know who used to do the MLB schedule?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it was a couple that did it for a whole 24 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes and they scheduled 2430 games each year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah amazing. In Japan the sport seems to be really popular<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes so popular that they cannot believe it is a pastime here<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they must really be into it and appreciate the sport<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah. Do you watch the World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do. Do you know when it started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it was back in 1903 so it is already over 100 years old<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Did you know the ottoman empire was still around when it started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that us pretyy cool. Did you know CUbs won the championship back to back two years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and then they went dry for quite a while after that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes The women's world cup has more viewers than the World Series though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Pretty awesome. Nice chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here and have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love baseball. Opening day is only 2 weeks away<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Only 2 weeks away wow I am really exited, I mostly watch the World Series though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well there have been some pretty memorable world series over the years. It was first held in 1903<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow so more than a hundred years since the first game. Did you like Babe Ruth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I mean, I never saw him play live, but I do think he is one of the best ever.He helped make the Yankees a powerhouse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah event the bests make mistakes he cost his team the title back in 1926<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, Babe tried to steal second base and it did not work out well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No it didn't work well at all. The Cubs were the first team to win the WS back to back, I guess that didnt work for them either<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And that was the last time they won until 2016. Quite the long layoff<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it seems like the team had a real curse on top of them, the Woman's World Cup had a higher rating that the World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well the World Cup does just come around every four years, so I can see how it would be popular on TV<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess that makes sense still World Series is really popular in the states and woman's soccer team arent as popular.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well baseball is not as popular as it was back in the day. Too many things are competing for viewers time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess its not, there are a lot of sports out there, I do like the Yankees and the history the team has<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have the most wins in history by a large margin<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you hear about Bill O'Reilly and how he invented a fake press organisation to get season tickets<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He is a well known yankee fan. I would not put it past him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe he found another way to get tickets by now and what about Don Mattingly interesting how he got suspended<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have a strict dress and apperance code on the Yankees. He should of gotten a haircut.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I wouldnt fight against the team and just get one already, anyway its been great chatting with you today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too. Have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good morning! How are you today? I am sure glad baseball season is back! Are you familiar with the game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I played when I was younger.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wish I played, but only neighborhood games. Do you follow any baseball now? I find it amusing that MLB team managers wear uniforms because they can play if needed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I follow the Nationals, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I follow the Chicago Cubs. Have you heard about the guy that found the hidden baseball cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, apparently they were worth millions of dollars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes! Hidden away in his grandfathers attic since the 1940's. I wonder if the grandfather forgot them, or hid them so someone would get a big surprise?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure. It has me thinking about the time my mom threw away my card collection.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, hopefully no good ones. Isn't it funny that soccer-baseball is the name for kickball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, that is pretty funny. Is it a big sport up there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am no sure. I know in Japan baseball is super popular.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've known that for awhile. I'm surprised they don't know it is popular over here though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know! That shocks me too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are you a fan of the World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I am. As a Cubs fan it has been difficult. Prior to the 2016 win the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time they won.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. Did you know the cubs were the first team to win back to back world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes! Did you know Babe Ruth lost game 7 of the WS in 1926.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, he got caught stealing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and they were already down by one run. I guess someone had to be that guy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, that sucks. He was a great player too. Well, nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good day!<end_of_turn>

Did you know the space shuttle's computer only runs on 1mb of ram? That's crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy! my computer has a lot more juice than that, unbelievable how tech advances.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know! I can't imagine not having computers now since we have learned to depend on them so much.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We sure do, I have an apple computer, I didnt know smoking near it would make my warranty void.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? I didn't know that. back in 1936 some russians actually made a computer that ran on water....how strange is that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really strange, I wonder what happened to that model? maybe water wasnt the best choice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right! I don't even know how that would work. Very interesting though, also I read someone built a 16 bit computer using nothing but Minecraft building blocks, so crazy how these people get these idea's.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So do you like the piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I accidentally hit the enter tab, I was going to say I know, the world is full with creativity, and I do like the piano I like the sound of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, I did play years ago but not anymore. I love the soothing sound of it. years ago the bbc didn't have any news worth reporting so the just played piano music lol that's awesome.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That odd considering the news giant BBC is today! did you know that Freddy Mercury played the same piano as Paul McCartney<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My thoughts exactly! Oh wow that's an interesting fact! They built a piano for the Hindenburg and it only weighed over 300 pounds, who would think of putting a piano on that airship!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That takes some useful weight out of the plane, and maybe someone that is a real piano fan, would be nice to listen to it in the sky though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very true. Piano music is great no matter where you are. It is like poetry to your ears, which I love too. I write some poetry and it's a great stress reliever :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like poetry, do you like the series of Lord of the Rings? most of the hobbits names are actually names of poetry.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow I didn't realize that. I think it's crazy that Edgar Allan Poe only got paid 9 bucks for his famous poem The Raven. Not enough people realize how amazing poetry is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy as its one of the most remembered poems of history, it must be worth millions now a days.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know! A very different time back then. So many types of poetry too, I love it and song lyrics most of the time are like a poem. Love it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, did you know about the poem Demetri Martin wrote?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Is that the palindrome poem? Wasn't it like over 220 words? Amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, it was over 220 words, pretty impressive and actually good.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello! How are you today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm doing well how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not too bad either! Do you play any instruments at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do play the guitar. I heard that the piano is an acoustic instrument.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh really? I never knew that! I guess the strings are struck by hammers huh?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess so. Do you know who invented the piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wasn't in by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 in Italy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is correct. The piano is being playing using a keyboard that has a row of keys that the pianist presses down to cause the hammers to strike the strings.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is one interesting fact! You know what is more interesting though, how computers have come about!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. Computers are more complex than pianos in my opinion because they are devices that carry sequences by computer programming.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well said! I wish I could have used a computer that used water to run it like the Russians did!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really!! I didn't know that the Russians did this. Do you know who wrote the first computer algorithm?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I don't! Who was it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was by a woman named Ada Lovelace.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh cool! I wonder if she wanted to upload her mind to a computer like other transhumanists want to!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wouldn't that be cool Ha!!! Do you know by any chance what was the number one installed piece of software on computers in 1995?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Was it something like Solitaire?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. It was the video game Doom which I came across this fact very recently.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thanks for that fact! I remember that game, it was so cool haha. It was nice chatting with you though and just remember, smoking near an apple computer voids the warranty haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing. It was very nice chatting with you. I hope you have a nice evening. Thanks and bye!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thanks you as well!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you know anything about the dance program at Duke University?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I don't really but they recently celebrated the opening of the new Rubenstein arts center.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Who was Duke's first vice Provost for the arts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Scott Lindroth I believe. I love how they have these applied arts programs to bring them balance and something different and meaningful to them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that since his time, Duke has grown to have 98 student arts groups.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really amazing, love this idea. they have so many more classes directed at the arts now more than ever which is awesome.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder how many programs are devoted to the acoustic piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love the piano, but not sure how many programs are devoted to it. by aligning art making with research it makes for a much deeper learning experience though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am a fan too. Odd that the modern piano has been around since roughly 1700!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! L played years ago, and I also love poetry. Everyone should have a creative side they let out. It is amazing that they found a piano at the top of britains highest mountain....crazy to think how it got up there lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is funny that they test pianos with Circus Galop, a piece no human could play!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hahaha, that is odd! I love researching fun facts on the computer and you can find so much! I use my computer for everything, I write some poetry and save it to my computer.....you could probably find a program to teach you piano on the computer lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Perhaps so. It is funny that poetry goes back to prehistorical times, but we still can not teach a computer to compose it well!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly, there will always be a need for human emotion which nothing tech wise could ever do. The Edgar Allan Poe poem, the Raven was fantastic and he was only paid 9 bucks for it. Wow....<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Conversely, something as simple as the Japanese Alphabet, when recited in order is also a poem!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I read about that while on my computer, and that is amazing actually. I will have to look it up I want to see what it is all about!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that in 1936, Russians made a computer that ran on water!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? That is awesome! something else to research on my computer, I love reading cool facts. Almost all of the Hobbit's character names were taken out of an old poem, how funny!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Indeed! I wonder if something similar inspired Demetri Martin's 224 word palmindrome poem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly! I need to read that poem, must be very good. I am wanting to find that poem that is read normally is found to be depressing but reading it backwards is inspiring! Love that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am looking for some of the poetry from the pyramid texts!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow! Now that would be very interesting! I may do that myself as well haha! It has been great chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You too. I enjoyed sharing prosaic writing with you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good! Did you know Kristen Stewart from the Twilight movies helped author a paper about AI? Not just a pretty face!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I had no idea! That's pretty cool. Isn't that one lady from Bri bang also like a pHd?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure but wouldn't doubt it. Facebook is developing AI designed to better understand emotions, identify objects, and predict user actions. Yikes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Clifford seems to be a great way to augment teaching. I would like to see a pre and post test with a control group to see how well the AI works.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. At Stanford they use Google Hangouts to teach AI more effectively.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's interesting. I teach college courses and would love to see how that works. I wonder if the non-for-profit has more info on it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question. How about this one -- there's a NASA scientist who believes our world is just a computer generated VR. Maybe he's been watching too much of The Matrix.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's nuts. I sometimes wonder if the ultra-intelligent need things to maintain their sanity...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha. Definitely. Overthinking can be a torture, I'm sure. The first Virtual Reality game was created in 1968. How far we've come!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would love to go on Lockheed Martin's virtual reality tour of mars. seems like it would be a lot of fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It does sound fun. Up to 40% of VR users get motion sickness -- me included. So make sure to take your barf bag if you go, just in case.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I never thought of that impact on people. Have you ever gone on 4D rides at like disney? They move and shake but then they also spray water on you for when you go through water tunnels or something like that. Pretty fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I took my daughter on the Stitch ride and she FREAKED OUT! She thought it was real. I felt so bad. But that's proof that 4D can ramp up the experience.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
HA! How old is she? My 7 year old went on a roller coaster for the first time and freak out until the end and then I could not get him off the rides.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
She was 11. But she has a really active imaginations and she loves Stitch -- so I think a part of her wanted it to be real. Wonder how she would do on that Lockheed Martin VR space bus you mentioned earlier?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am sure she would do great! Are you on Facebook?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I'm on FB. Used to be on MySpace too, which offered to buy FB for $75 M in 2005. That would have been the buy of the century.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know! Wht dopes! Like Iceland rewritting its constituion using ti.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There's a German state where it's illegal to use the "like" button on Facebook. Wonder what's that all about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello - did you know MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for 75 million in 2005?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, Are you a registered user of Facebook?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I am, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I am thinking of joining the QuitFacebook movement though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not a huge fan of Facebook. I rarely use it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you invest in the company at the IPO in 2012?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but it would be worth a lot of money today if you had.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would be a big investment. Did you know the Facebook like button is illegal in one of the German states?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I did not. WHy is there not a "dislike" button<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol not sure<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They make most of their money off of ads<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea they make a lot off of ads. I saw that Facebook is blue because Mark Zuckerburg is red-green blind.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, that is weird. I know how you can get a free whopper from BK<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
How can you get a free whopper?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If you unfriend 10 people on facebook<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's pretty crazy and cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am thinking about going back to MySPace and deleting Facebook<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't even know MySpace was still around. I would like to do that as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I want to read the Icelandic Constituion on there first<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know much about that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Time to check my posts on Facebook.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
When I previously thought of virtual reality I thought of gaming, but have you heard about its uses in the educational revolution?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, same here, no I haven't seen too much about the educational side though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Through virtual reality, children will be able to attend virtual schools and learn how they want. Through their tablets or visually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really cool, I guess they can get access to things and places that they never would have been able to before.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, for example if they want to learn visually they can use the headsets to travel to ancient Egypt and watch the pyramids get built!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that is even cool for me and i'm an adult!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is. It is becoming a lot more affordable too. It used to be over $1000, but in two or three years should be less than $100.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think you are right, I think more schools will have these in the coming years as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and can even use them at home to educate. The program will allow the parents to keep tabs on their children to see how they are doing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And I think all of those safety features for parents are a must with all technology these days!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, safety and affordability. With a lot of companies like Google, Lenovo, Magic Leap, and Facebook involved you know there will be an affordable and great product.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and I think there will be profitable business there as well so its win win for those companies as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, agreed. You even have a company like Lockheed Martin that can take kids on a virtual reality tour of Mars!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, now wouldn't that be something. I wonder if they will be able to do that with planets further out in the future?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
With all of those companies and a company like Facebook worth over $100 billion I am sure they sky the is the limit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly. Do you use Facebook much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. I cannot believe in 2005 that Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! That would have been one of those deals of a lifetime, but mistakes happen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is impressive how huge it has become. In fact, Iceland is literally rewriting their constitution using Facebook. They allow the public to chime in with suggestions! Wild!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I saw that, very interesting. But, it makes sense though, let the people help control how the government operates, not the other way around.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, basically the opposite of the German state Schleswig-Holstein where the "like" button is illegal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is hilarious, I wonder if you went back in time and told people 30 years ago about that, what they would say? Anyways, it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi! Are you a facebook user?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do use it, but mostly for the games app's social part. I'd rather play a game. I've heard the Virtual Reality video games are pretty cool. Would you try?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I would try it to see what it was like.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've seen lots of examples on Facebook of people playing a VR game and getting terrified or surprised. It looks like a lot of fun!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder how much the headsets cost for it? The fist virtual reality game was made in 1968. I had no idea they were around then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I thought I've heard that VR has been used for training soldiers, so I wonder if it could have been around for even longer than 1968, but kept secret!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Quite possible. I read where 40 percent of users experience motion sickness in virtual reality.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, that part doesn't sound very fun. Did you know there is a NASA scientist who genuinely believes we're living in a reality generated by a computer? Or maybe multiple computers...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. I know that Lockheed Martin has a virtual reality "Mars bus" that can take kids on a tour of Mars. That would be neat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, I was excited when I heard a company was starting art buses to park in lots of shopping centers to look after kids while parents shop. I can't even imagine how great a VR Mars tour bus would be!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hahaha Do you know anyone that has the Oculus Rift VR headset that Facebook released?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't, but I'd love to try it. I am really interested in those augmented reality systems that area a type of VR. I had an idea for those Google glasses before they came out, even!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice! Stanford's free artificial intelligence class uses Google plus hangouts to help them teach more effectively. What do you think of AI? It kind of scares me. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Meant to say augmented reality. I think it's strange how Tesler's Theorem for AI is whatever hasn't been done yet. Does that mean he wouldn't call the VR games AI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea. Good question. AI has crushed all human records in the puzzle game "2048". I haven't heard of that game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't heard of that game, either. There's a game I play where you get better by doing daily tasks. I should make an AI device to do it for me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol Nice! Did you hear about the promotion that Burger King ran where if you were to unfriend 10 people on Facebook they would give you a free whopper? I would have taken them up on that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think there were probably people catching on and adding 10 random people just to unfriend, though! Can you believe that in a part of Germany the Facebook like button is illegal?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder why? I'm going to have to look that up. I wonder what Myspace thinks of passing up on the chance to buy Facebook for $75 million in 2005? Is Myspace even still around?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think MySpace is around but everyone uses Facebook instead. I think Facebook is worth hundreds of billions today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In 2012 when they had their IPO they were valued at $104 billion then. So you are right. I'm sure it's more than that now. It's been fun chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
How's it going? Do you know much about VR? Looks like it is not meeting it's potential as an educational tool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, I know just a little bit, I heard that is true though, that they don't really have the ability to customize the material to the individual or coach.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems odd and something that would be easy to fix if the effort was put in. Learning history and geography seems like a perfect fit for VR<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think you are right, especially for those children that are strong visual learners.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
VR does sound like a great tool for those who struggle with time limits<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think it has the potential to be. Do you know much about AI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not much except for what's in pop culture, I definitely couldn't explain Tesler's Theorem that well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I'm about the same, I know IBM's Watson is very helpful in the medical field.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea I've heard of Watson and a little about Stanford's ai class which I might have to take a look at when I got the time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know the actress Kristen Stewart co-authored a paper on AI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I had no clue. I don't know if I'm more surprised of that or the first vr game being made in 1968<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Holy cow, I never would have guessed that about VR. Did you know doctors are using it to treat phobias?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, I've heard of that, very cool. Lockheed Martin uses VR to tour Mars which is pretty cool also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that would be pretty cool to try, I wonder what you have to do to be a part of that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, maybe be in a smart class or just be in a school that is nearby a Lockheed Martin facility<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah you are probably right. On a different note, are you a user of Facebook?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, I think I started using it in 2006, two years after it was first founded by Zuckerberg and his Harvard classmates<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think I am the same, I'm pretty sure my roommate in college set one up for me in 2005.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I use to like myspace a lot better in high school, Tom must be kicking himself for not buying facebook in 2005<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah think about how much money was lost not buying it way back then. I think I set up a Myspace account but never used it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well FB is valued at 104 billion right now but it would probably be worth a lot less if myspace did buy it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is true, but I'm willing to bet it would be worth more than Myspace currently is. Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hello<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello how are you doing? Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for $75 million in early 2005<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i bet whoever was in charge regrets the hell out of it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! Missed opportunity! Facebook's "like" button is illegal in the german state of schleswig-holstein.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i wonder exactly what is so bad about it. The King of Pop started his solo career in 1971.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah i know right. Why are they so against the thumbs up. Freddie mercury cancelled a duet with michael jackson in the 1980s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Freddy's vocals would've destroyed jacksons. also - a llama, really dude?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hahaha well MJ is really weird. Maybe it gives him inspiration! Michael jackson wanted to build a 50 foot robot of himself to roam the nevada desert.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
only thing i have in common with the dude is being a massive simpsons fan. if i ran into that robot i would think i was tripping<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did he have a music video of him being this large silver man or something? lol Thats awesome that Michael was a simpsons fan! I need to start watching it again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
you know, im not sure.....yeah! same here. havent really watched it much lately. taylor switf removed her music from spotify but kept it on pandora. think it was the money?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe. This is a ton of money Aloe blacc only received $12k in royalties from pandora for 168 million streams<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
seems like someone got robbed. pandora makes 274 million in revenue<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
This is amazing, I love listening to stand up Pandora now streams stand up comedy in addition to music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
woah - i had no idea. pandora is powered by the music genome project. ever heard of it? i havent<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I havent.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
an effort to capture the essesne of music at the most fundamental level. i wonder what else they do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah me too. On September 24, 2018, Sirius XM Holdings announced its intent to acquire Pandora for $3.5 billion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Burger king had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people on facebook you get a free whopper. LOL i couldve had whoppers for daaaaayyyys<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha what is the price of friendship??? whoppers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ahaha, we can be real life friends eating whoppers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
right!! nice talking to you. have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you on Facebook by any chance?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes , I found it interesting that mark zukerburg suffers from colorblindness<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was not aware of that. Facebook debuted in 2004. I was not aware it had been so long. It makes me wonder how long I was on MySpace before that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, I wonder why burger king wanted people to unfriend others<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was not aware that they did. That's very strange. You'd think they'd rather advertise on the site since so many people are on there. Facebook makes most of it's revenue from advertisements.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I understand that to be true also. I cant believe Iceland is using Facebook to rewrite their Constitution<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems like a bad idea. People don't think before they type on Facebook and they're willing to be more ridiculous because they are behind a keyboard.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed. I have alsways really liked Micheal Jackson, and I knew he did work on the Simpsons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have mixed feelings about him. As a pop star he was amazing, his personal life not so much. My understanding is that Freddie Mercury cancelled a duet with him because he insisted on bringing his llama to the studio.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I understand the feelings, would have loved to see the 50 foot robot though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He had some very out there ideas. I did know that Eddie Van Halen Played the guitar solo in Beat It free of charge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that either. and that Micheal helped write the soundtrack to sonic 3<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems very odd to me. Thinking back to the Sonic games they do not have music that I would have thought a high profile musician made.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would agree with that, but still good music. I knoew taylor swift removed her music from spotify but not pandora<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder why? I use Pandora a lot. I often have it on when I exercise. They have a net income of $-16 million despite having $274 million in revenue. I really think they need to look into their overhead cost.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would agree. I know she didnt like how they pay artist. I did not know they were streaming comedy also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't either. I have never tried to use it for that. I use Podcast apps for that purpose. I'll have to look into that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have plenty of streams at 168 million steams for Aloe Blacc<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a huge amount of streams. I did not realize until recently that Pandora was only available in the United States. I find that surprising.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
me too I found the music genome project interesting to learn about also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Algorithms are always interesting to me.<end_of_turn>

I guess a disabled student who won a case against a TX school died recently. Her name is Amber Tatro.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, thats sad. Do you used facebook?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, but I'm not addicted... It was a tough SC case. I'm not sure I agree that schools should have to perform medical procedure. They are school not a hospital.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I agree, unless they have medical training.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was all kinds of things with her... Infections, injections, etc... The school would need a team. She got a standing ovation when she graduated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right. That is pretty amazing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Facebook... It seems to have many uses. Iceland is using to rewrite their constitution. What do you use it for?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use it for keeping in touch with people, seeing what people are up to and news. How about yourself?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's the same with me. I comment very little. I didn't realize Facebook is blue because Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me either. I just recently saw the movie the social network, its about facebooks start.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, kids from Harvard -- wasn't it a student post board? Myspace could have bought it for penny's...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah something like that. I know right, that was a huge mis opportunity on their part.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Why would Burger King have a promotion to encourage others to unfriend others? They offered a free Whopper to unfriend 10 people.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I dont know the reasoning behind it, but I wouldnt mind a free whopper lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that made me a little hungry. Did you like Michael Jackson?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, love the king of pop. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, he was a talent for sure. I can't believe he wanted to develop a 50 foot robot to roam the desert around Vegas.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hes always been a little different lol Did you hear freddie mercury cancelled a det with mj because he wanted a llama in the studio? lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No. I miss Freddie too... strange reason to cancel... Do you listen to Pandora Radio? The have comedian now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, love pandora, I do listen to their comedy on road trips and long drives.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, ZM radio is cool too. Thanks for the chat, you were great!<end_of_turn>
