- 2:36SPEAKER_05: Do you have any advice for me?
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 2:39SPEAKER_05: I like had a great conversation with someone and it wasn't recording, and now I'm now I'm sad.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: There's plenty of good conversations you'll have.
- 2:49SPEAKER_03: Tell me about maps.
- 2:51SPEAKER_03: Maps?
- 2:52SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: Maps are my favorite thing in the world.
- 2:56SPEAKER_03: I love maps.
- 3:00SPEAKER_03: They help me to really feel like I know a place.
- 3:11SPEAKER_03: I just think it's a beautiful thing when people are connected to the physical environment.
- 3:17SPEAKER_03: Send this arm out.
- 3:18SPEAKER_03: That helps with the balance.
- 3:19SPEAKER_03: Find your balance.
- 3:20SPEAKER_03: Find it.
- 3:22SPEAKER_03: Maps tell you where you are.
- 3:26SPEAKER_03: They enable you to explore.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: We got it! We got it! We got it!
- 3:34SPEAKER_04: Look at that thing!
- 3:36unknown: Wow!
- 3:36SPEAKER_04: It's flying, it's right above the tree.
- 3:38SPEAKER_04: Oh no.
- 3:39SPEAKER_03: It's kind of a universally recognizable way to have like a shared identity.
- 3:46SPEAKER_04: Let's go.
- 3:47SPEAKER_04: Let's go.
- 3:47SPEAKER_04: Here we go.
- 3:48SPEAKER_02: We all are immigrants, right?
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: You, me, her.
- 3:52SPEAKER_02: If you are no immigrant, no matter if you were born here, your grand-grand grand grandfather came.
- 3:58SPEAKER_02: So it doesn't matter.
- 4:00SPEAKER_02: We all came.
- 4:01SPEAKER_03: So many neighborhoods, so many streets are named after people who no one knows what who they are, what they did.
- 4:08SPEAKER_03: But now they carry on a new meaning.
- 4:12SPEAKER_03: Like when people say they live on like the Bedford Nostrand stop, for them that's like a train stop.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: But those are also people that someone chose to like name these avenues after.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie!
- 4:27SPEAKER_05: Are there any like street names in New York specifically that come to mind as like have an interesting backstory?
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right here in right here on Maria Hernandez.
- 4:39SPEAKER_03: Knickerbacker and Irving.
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: Whoa! Oh my god! Oh both of them relate to Washington Irving, one of the like preeminent American authors.
- 4:54SPEAKER_03: Knickerbocker is a term that he essentially coined in his History of New York book.
- 5:00SPEAKER_05: This is important.
- 5:02SPEAKER_05: Why do you think it's important that we we know who was here before us?
- 5:07SPEAKER_02: I think we have been lost the connection with the different forms of life.
- 5:13SPEAKER_02: Especially the plants, you know.
- 5:14SPEAKER_02: We're drinking tea, there is a plant, but also the plants have spirits.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: And we just don't even recognize, we don't even talk with that spirit anymore.
- 5:28SPEAKER_02: So we lost that.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: What was the point of this?
- 5:33SPEAKER_05: Of what?
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: Of just walking with it.
- 5:35SPEAKER_05: I don't know, man.
- 5:36SPEAKER_05: I'm just trying to figure out what to do the podcast on.
- 5:39SPEAKER_05: I'm just I don't know.
- 5:41SPEAKER_02: We need community anywhere, any form.
- 5:43SPEAKER_02: So I think what you do is great because it's kind of like the conversation that we need to make this little change.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: I feel safe here because it's nourishing me.
- 5:52SPEAKER_05: Like I got what do you think about I got the sun in the trees and what do I think about it?
- 6:03SPEAKER_05: What time is it?
- 6:04SPEAKER_05: Serving the cheese.
- 6:07SPEAKER_01: It's 6 01.
- 6:09SPEAKER_01: It's 6 01!
- 6:12SPEAKER_04: Okay, Dad.
- 6:14SPEAKER_04: Daughter.
- 6:15SPEAKER_04: What do you think?
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Unreal that there is a place like this in the world where y you can feel safe and trusting of people, you know, and open.
- 6:31SPEAKER_05: Day's over.
- 6:31SPEAKER_05: Day eighteen.
