Intermedio. Número 35. Nuestras historias en objetos. ¿Está bien dicho así?
Translation

Intermediate. Number 35. Our stories in objects. Is that a good way to put it?

Lis Salinas

[00:00:10]
Sí, historias a través de objetos.
Translation

Yes, stories through objects.

Rob

[00:00:15]
Sí. Entonces, pues, empezamos otro podcast hace 3 minutos, que queríamos hablar de las cosas sin las que no podemos vivir. Pero salió muy aburriro porque era mi celular, mi pasaporte, mi portátil. Entonces, para ser más poética
Translation

Yeah. So, well, we started another podcast 3 minutes ago, that we wanted to talk about the things we can't live without. But it came out very boring because it was my mobile, my passport, my laptop. So, to be more poetic

Lis Salinas

[00:00:38]
Y menos superficiales.
Translation

And less superficial.

Rob

[00:00:39]
Sí, aunque lo seamos, queríamos contar nuestras historias personales en los objetos. Entonces vamos a hablar de tres objetos o tres pertenencias.
Translation

Yes, even if we are, we wanted to tell our personal stories in the objects. So let's talk about three objects or three belongings.

Lis Salinas

[00:00:53]
Sí, muy bien, pertenencias
Translation

Yes, very good, belongings

Rob

[00:00:56]
De cada uno y porque son significativo para nosotros, qué historia trae en nuestras vidas para ser menos superficiales. Y no se puede decir ni el pasaporte, ni el celular, ni el portátil, ni no sé como cosas cotidianas y realmente importantes entre comillas, así.
Translation

From each one and because they are meaningful to us, what story they bring in our lives to be less superficial. And you can't say either the passport, nor the mobile phone, nor the laptop, nor I don't know like everyday things and really important things in inverted commas, like that.

Lis Salinas

[00:01:21]
Sí, nos pareció mejor como pensar en esas cosas que sabemos que de pronto otra persona las ve por ahí y son feas y de pronto para botar, pero que cada uno tiene como un significado detrás de alguna cosa que tiene en la casa por allá, el pasado.
Translation

Yes, it seemed better to us to think about those things that we know that perhaps someone else sees them around and they are ugly and perhaps should be thrown away, but that each one of us has a meaning behind something we have in the house over there, the past.
