I'm your host and driver, john Fontes, and we're cruising the streets of Washington DC. Buckle up, let's drive. How much time do we have we can make?
Speaker 2:more time, nine minutes.
Speaker 1:We get a lot done in nine minutes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what do you want to ask us?
Speaker 1:Well, what do you want, to ask me? It's, it's a two way street. We talk about politics, we talk about DC tourism, restaurants, just anything that comes up.
Speaker 3:Alright, let's talk about crazy.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, you just got engaged. Tell me about that.
Speaker 3:Well, me and my fiancé have been together for three and a half years now, that's a long time. It is a long time, but we did start dating right out of high school.
Speaker 1:So okay, there's no rules in this car. We curse, we say what we want they're graduating you look like you're 12 she's 21, that's 12 to me they're graduating college may 17th and getting married on june 28th that's awesome. Good for you and they are.
Speaker 2:They very much complement each other yeah what school do you go to we?
Speaker 1:go to christopher newport oh my god, my son almost went there yeah, I really love seeing you like me.
Speaker 3:I'm that special, I know that I'm a little bit biased, but I've had a really good experience there that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's good to hear. Mom, how do you feel about the fiancé?
Speaker 2:He's amazing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He definitely comes alongside her and lifts her up and wants her to be the best version of herself. That's pretty good, and he is his morals and his ethics and everything. He just really is everything that I've prayed for, that my daughter would ever have. You know that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I mean you hear parents often say, oh yeah, it's great and they love each other. But I don't know, there's kind of some passion in your voice and that counts for a lot.
Speaker 2:So when I was very young, when I was about 18, I was told I would never have children. So when I was very young, when I was about 18, I was told I would never have children. And so after I had multiple, multiple doctors tell me that I would never have children, I used to pray that one day I would have a daughter. And so I prayed, and prayed, and prayed, and prayed that I would have children. I would be just to be able to have children in general. And so when I named her Emma the Hebrew translation of Emma is answer to prayer and then, after I had her, I used to pray that I would have a daughter who would marry someone who would be a follower of Christ. Because we were very, we believe in Jesus and we believe in all the things that come with that. And his name is Christian and the literal Hebrew translation of Christian is follower of Christ. I really just feel in my heart of hearts that he is an answer to prayer.
Speaker 1:That is a great setup. I like that.
Speaker 3:It is.
Speaker 1:I kind of apologize for cursing it's okay, don't worry, we do too. I'm going to say that's under the Tower of Babel cursing. If you're religious, we do too I'm gonna say that's under the tower of babel and we'll just have to deal with it the tower.
Speaker 3:You know your old testament history we're a multi-denominational family.
Speaker 1:I got it all. So I'm doing a good job by not bringing a bridezilla okay so all good things, you know, I think with the state of the way that the world is right now. It's nice to hear something like that. That's positive and that's cool, Good stuff.
Speaker 2:Good luck to you. So her end goal is to be what is becoming now known as a trad wife.
Speaker 1:What is that?
Speaker 2:Is a flashback to the 50s, essentially, if you will. She wants to work for the first couple years out of college, but her ideal goal is she wants to have five children. She wants to stay home with her children and teach them right from wrong.
Speaker 1:Wait, what's it called?
Speaker 2:Trad wife.
Speaker 1:Trad Uh-huh, can I be a trad husband?
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, you can be.
Speaker 1:Cause. I'd like that.
Speaker 3:But here's the thing you would have to work and your okay, wait so it's a.
Speaker 2:It's really just a roll back to the 1950s think about leave it to beaver, so confused the cleavers I can like, I can do it, but I still the money.
Speaker 3:But your wife would stay home with the kids and like teach them and it would be homeschool no, I want to stay like, have your own, like he wants me to want to stay home.
Speaker 1:I want to be a trad dad. I want to.
Speaker 3:I want to be at home you can maybe be like a rad dad and like be really cool and really awesome yeah, that's not going to work but, like you, need to bring some income to the family well, I can do that, you know like. I hate to break it to you, but you need to be the provider yeah, so they can.
Speaker 2:They're kind of rolling back to the old tradition.
Speaker 1:Okay, I like it.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I want some chickens, I want a cow I like, want to be able to provide my own milk, my own eggs, my own meat and, like he can like, kill the cow and, you know, cut it up the right way for some ribeyes or whatever.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Marriage is all about compromise and 50-50. You gotta get your hands dirty on that one. Mom take pictures of that it's gotta happen.
Speaker 3:Like maybe I can drain the cow and he can do the cutting. How?
Speaker 2:charming but like I can deal with the chicken eggs. We go back to Leviticus where we gotta hand wash the entrails.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:You know. But yeah, I wanna to like homeschool my kids and be very I don't really necessarily know if I want them to go to public school, just because that's a lot and they would learn a lot about today's society, which I don't want to say I don't disagree with with but I kind of want to shield them for just a little bit well, I think there's.
Speaker 1:There's something to be said about providing a box that you want them to kind of get their knowledge from, and then from there they can branch out and be free thinking and free will and all that stuff yeah, you know, just hope you want to Clyde's okay.
Speaker 3:I think it was very interesting for me to hear the other perspective, because I'll give you my hometown that is not. Dc is very Christian based, and I've never, thought of anything yeah than that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was a good perspective shift.
Speaker 1:Which is important for sure.
Speaker 2:Agreed a thousand percent.
Speaker 1:We all believe what we believe, but we can't live in a bubble either.
Speaker 2:I think you only learn from listening to people from different philosophies.
