I hope you're doing well. 13 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: I just wanted to give them any life update. I 14 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: don't know if you remember, but I was the one 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: who submitted the question of out my boyfriend I giving 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: me the phone password. I got the password, and I 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: got engaged and I got a car with your help 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: because you also gave me advice on that. All right, 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: So I just got done listening to your spiritual Reality 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Versus Religion podcast, and I've been pondering with what religion 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: I want to raise my child in. I empathize with 22 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: you in the way that you grew up Christian, went 23 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,639 Speaker 2: to Christian Church. But I also empathize in the sense 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: that I didn't have the best experience within the Christian Church. 25 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: And I did attend the Catholic Church as well, and 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: while I respect a lot of their teachings, there's a 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: lot that I don't necessarily agree with. So how would 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: you go about this? Because my fiance was raised Catholic 29 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: similar to Emilio, like you expressed, and that's like one 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: of the biggest conflicts we've been having, you know, for 31 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: our future family, like what direction do we want to go? 32 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: So how would you go about it? 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be nosy. What are you going to 34 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: do for your child? Are you going to raise some 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Catholic Christian spiritual I want to know? Girl? All right? 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: Love you, Thank you so much for Awie's answering. 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Bye, oh Chantelle. I love, love love the updates. We 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: love the updates here on dear cheekies guys. So I'm 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: so happy. Congratulations on your engagement. Congratulations on your car, girl, 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Congratulations on that code that past code, love that for you. 41 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: I poray for your guys' relationship that it flourishes and 42 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: that it's an amazing one. And now about your question. 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: So I have talked to a media about this and 44 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: we have decided that we're going to baptize our child 45 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: through the Catholic Church because to him, that's what he did, 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: he did his first communion, he did the whole thing right, 47 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: and I did too, So I'm fine with that. Again, 48 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: like I said in that episode, I respect all religions 49 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: and I think each religion has some thing really nice. 50 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: And as far as church, I think you just have 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: to try, like kind of like a therapist. You got 52 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: to kind of just try it before you knock it 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: and find the best fit for you. Because there are 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: a lot of really good churches out there, Catholic and Christian, 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: and one will resonate more with you than the other. 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: So I think trying that out first. The biggest and 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: main thing is obviously having got in your heart, and 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, faith is the biggest thing. But I do 59 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: believe in I want to teach my child everything that 60 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: I believe in spirituality and to respect and to love, 61 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: and our religion is called love, and that is basically 62 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: as far as I'm going to go. I mean, we've 63 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: talked about putting our kids in like private schools and 64 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: stuff like that, but we're going to cross that bridge 65 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: once we get there. But yeah, I think that's what 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: we're going to do. So I just think as long 67 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: as you teach your child about the higher power and 68 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: about faith and prayer and the power of prayer, I 69 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: think that, to me is one of the most important things, 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: you know. So you guys will figure it out little 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: by little. The good thing is you guys are talking 72 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: about it now. So that is my opinion, and I 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: hope my advice helps. And I'm really excited for you. 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm so excited for you. Thank you so much, Sean 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Tell I hope everything works out. Let us know. Okay, okay, 76 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to an anonymous listener. 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: Ache Chase and coming on here, datoya. I love doing 78 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: music and your podcasts, and I love you. Please never 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 3: change for anymore. But I don't like your advice on something. 80 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: I'm now twenty seven years old and I still live 81 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: with my parents. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd like 82 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: to have my own space now. And the only reason 83 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: is cause my parents are always arguing about money and 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: there's times I feel like I'm suffer kidding, I help 85 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: out with the bills, don't get me wrong, but it's 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: just that my dad makes the most money between my 87 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: mother and I and the only thing he pays is 88 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: the groceries, nothing else, and all the rest of his 89 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: money goes towards in Mexico fixing his house, which I 90 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: can get. But at the same time, why can't you 91 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: help out here? We are living over here. It's a lot, 92 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: but I will love your feedback. I hope you have 93 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: a nice day. 94 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Thank you well, my beautiful anonymous listener. Yeah, that's to me. Also, 95 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: a bit of a problem with your dad is if 96 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: he's only paying for groceries. I mean, there's just so 97 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: much more that needs to be paid and taken care 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: of in a household. So I understand your frustration for sure. 99 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: Hopefully he's here for many, many more years. But hopefully 100 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: your name is on that home in Mexico. Just saying 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: side note, I think that if you want to move out, 102 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: I think you should try it, even if you start 103 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: off like a studio renting out of bedroom. There's nothing 104 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: nicer than figuring out who you are outside of your parents, 105 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: out of your family, And there is this special thing 106 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: that happens when you live on your own. You learn 107 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: so much about yourself, about life, about budgeting, and if 108 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: you're already paying a lot there, then maybe you can 109 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: afford to live by yourself. I'm not saying it's going 110 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: to be easy. It comes with challenges as well, but 111 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: I think you'll have a lot more peace and you'll 112 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: feel like all the money that I'm paying is going 113 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: towards my comfort and whatever it is that I want 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: to do and how I want to do it. So 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's about idea, baby. I think you 116 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: should definitely try it, and hopefully if you don't like it, 117 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you can always go back home. But I have a 118 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: feeling you're going to love it, and you won't know 119 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: that until you try it, So I say try it, 120 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: even if you're scared, try it and start off little. 121 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: There's no need to go and get a two bedroom 122 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: or anything too like extravagant in pisando pokito. Doing a 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: little bit I think will for sure make you feel 124 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot better and not so frustrated, and I hope 125 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: it works out. Let us know, please, we love updates, 126 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: as you know, so I'm sending you a big hug. 127 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I hope it all works out.

And then I was also wondering 136 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: if you guys also grew up watching the other Mexican 137 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: American cult classics like La Bamba, To Stand and Deliver, Me, 138 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: Familia Tortia sup American Me. I just I remember growing 139 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: up watching those movies and they always really resonated with me, 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 4: and I was just wondering, as a fellow Mexican American, 141 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: if they had the same impact on your family. Anyways, 142 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: can't wait to hear back call me back bye. 143 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: You are so cute. Alec, Thank you so much for 144 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: your question. I love it. Absolutely. We watched Selena the movie. 145 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: I've watched it so many times, so inspiring, so beautiful, 146 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: because I felt like I saw our family in her family. 147 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: You know, we identified a lot for so many different reasons. 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: Obviously it was like a musical family, et cetera. So yes, 149 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: huge Lena fans. And my dad was actually a huge 150 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: Selena fan.
