Listen and write phrasal verbs into the gaps.

  1. Kevin: The first time I was really broke was, I was 19, and I moved to New York City. I followed a girl that I met in Glacier National Park, I was working out there as a singing waiter, went out to New York, followed her, and Iended up  living in an apartment with three other people and the share of my rent was \(500 a month. Now that was 20 years ago, and \)500 a month 20 years ago to a 19 year old kid with no education, no experience... that was a lot.

  2. Kevin: So I worked three jobs. I  worked from  7 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the George Washington Street Bus Terminal and subway station handing out flyers, American Express Moneygram flyers, then I would take the subway to Midtown, to FAO Schwartz, you know the big toy store...

  3. Kevin: Yeah, it's really brutal. Well, how I  ended up  being broke was, the restaurant was a New Orleans style restaurant, and I got fired for talking to the customers too much.
