FEMALE FRIEND: It’s soooo small.
MARVO: It’s not THAT small. Besides, it’s pretty powerful and it can go for a long time.
FEMALE FRIEND: How long can it go?
MARVO: I got it to last for over twelve hours.
FEMALE FRIEND: Twelve hours straight?
MARVO: Yeah.
FEMALE FRIEND: That’s a lot of Doggystyle, Piledriver, Missionary, Lotus, and Cowgirl.
MARVO: Oh, don’t forget the Pretzel, Helicopter, and T-Spoon.
FEMALE FRIEND: Do you mind if I touch it?
MARVO: Go ahead.
FEMALE FRIEND: Oh my goodness, I didn’t realize how smooth it was. So do you take it running with you?
MARVO: Yeah, I HAVE TO take it with me. Although when I put them in my shorts, it kind of protrudes.
FEMALE FRIEND: So do people notice it protruding when you’re running?
MARVO: I don’t know, but I feel it bouncing around. I’ll probably buy something so that it doesn’t flop around so much.
FEMALE FRIEND: Do you think you’re hurting it when it flops around like that?
MARVO: I don’t think so, because it’s pretty durable and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Although, when I first got it, I had some problems with it.
FEMALE FRIEND: Like what?
MARVO: Well basically, it didn’t always work right. I’ll be in the middle of using it and then everything goes soft.
FEMALE FRIEND: It gets turned off or something?
MARVO: Yeah, but everything is fine now. I just looked at some stuff on the internet and it stays turned on now.
FEMALE FRIEND: So how does it work?
MARVO: Just grab it, use your thumb, and stroke it right here.
FEMALE FRIEND: Right here?
MARVO: Yeah. Some people have had trouble turning it on, so you might have to stroke it a little harder.
FEMALE FRIEND: Oh my goodness, I turned it on. So how do I make stuff come out of it?
MARVO: You just have to push the right button.
FEMALE FRIEND: This button?
MARVO: Oh yeah, that’s the button.
FEMALE FRIEND: So when you wanna put stuff on it, where do you stick it?
MARVO: I stick it into a USB port, where it also gets charged up. It takes about three to four hours to fully be ready to go again.
FEMALE FRIEND: So what else does it come with?
MARVO: It came with a couple of things, a pair of earbuds and a lanyard, which you can use to hang it from your neck. But I don’t like to wear it like that. I prefer to keep it in my pants.
FEMALE FRIEND: It doesn’t have a screen, so how do you know what’s playing?
MARVO: Well when I’m using it, it’s usually in my shorts and I don’t really need to look at a screen. I pretty much know what’s on it, because it only holds 125 songs. But if I need to switch to something else, I’ll just play with it through my shorts. I know where the right buttons are.
FEMALE FRIEND: So does it vibrate?
MARVO: No, it doesn’t vibrate.
