The conversation is not a model that any non-native should adapt. Ben sounds like he's high and inarticulate.
Here's some of what I hear.: Ben, Ben is on the call. Hey Ben. My Dad is like, and I was like you know dude he was talking to me, and you know he's like talkin' to me (laugh) Yeah. He was going on me like, and there was like a f**kin' huge bird [lover sight?] Ben can I call you back in a minute? I'm eatin' dinner right now. Yeah, call me. I'm going to Adam's in like ten minutes but call me... I'm gonna go over there and eat and shit. I'm more curious about how this conversation came to you and why you're interested in it. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Ben is "on the phone"
He was "outside" and there was a huge bird that "flew over" Yeah, where in the world did this come from and why? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

@luke
I think he said "I don't gonna do any shit" I made sometime ago a little prank. I called them both at the same time using their numbers and they thought they called each other :D Edited by holly786 on 29 April 2015 at 11:00pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Apparently you know them better than I do then.
I hear geoffw's "flew over". I still think the last line of the conversation is pretty close to what I wrote. Do you know them? Your idea of the shit phrase doesn't sound like something a native teenager would say. Mine, I almost know who Ben is. If you're Ben's Mom, he might tell you he "don't do no shit" or "ain't gonna do any shit", but he's probably doing it, and he does it over at Adam's house. Doesn't he like kielbasa?

Reading this thread made me feel like I'm not a native English speaker.
