Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
My favorite radio moments here to share with you on
our daily podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Do I there. How's your heart? Are you happy? Are
you at peace? Are you filled with joy? And if not?
Why not?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Are you dealing with difficult people? Are you trying to
find peace in the midst of chaos? Or maybe you're
the difficult person. Maybe you're dealing with a guilty conscience.
Maybe you need to make amends. Maybe you need to
swallow your pride. Maybe you need to say I'm sorry.

(00:56):
If that is the case, let me encourage you to
do that sooner than later. Take a salt shaker, put
a little salt on the crow, eat the crow, say
you're sorry, make amends. Start building bridges instead of adding
more bricks to the wall. Hi, good evening. This is

(01:18):
Delilah who's on the phone line with.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Me tonight him.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
My name is Andrew.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hi Andrew, What can I do for you? My friend?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I was hoping you could play a song for me.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Tell me who's on your heart, what's going on? Give
me a little glimpse into the life of Andrews so
I can find the perfect song.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Ah, Well, this is one of those things where it's
an ex girlfriend of mine who we've been separated for
some time, but I'm still working at one of our
old mutual jobs we used to work together at. Still
been thinking about her. I don't know if she'd ever
acknowledge the fact that I did this, but I thought
it'd be kind of nice.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
So you're working where you used to work with her.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yep, I'm working late tonight picking up some extra hours.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So basically you're not over her.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh no, no, I still love her very much. Just
but everything that happened.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So what happened? Why are you two not together?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
So there's a lot of things that a lot of
arguments and then ended up to a very abrupt breakup,
and then everything you can think of that happened bad
did happen over the course of the last six months
to a year or so. And having seen it for
some time, and I passed by on the road four
days ago the first time in five months, and just

(02:33):
got me thinking about her and just amazed me how
far we've come, You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I will play a song for you, and I hope
that your heart heals in time.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
So Andrew.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You can move forward without the drama, without the trauma,
without the everything you could imagine happening, without the fighting,
without all that that, your heart can move forward and
just have a nice, peaceful, joyful, healthy love.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I appreciate that you have a good night.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Hi, Samantha, how are you.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
I'm pretty good now. I finally got through.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm glad you made it through. A welcome aboard. What's
on your heart tonight?

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Well, I just wanted you to play a song from
my mom, just to let her know, even though we
have our fights and everything, she's always going to.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Be my rock.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
How old are you twenty eight and you're still fussing
with mom?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah, we have our arguments. We live together, so aw,
it's kind of more like you say something, the other
person will take it the wrong way. It's just that
type of stuff. Because the stress levels are really high
recently going through the battles with the court system for
my children and everything else.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
So your nerves are raw and you're frazzled, and you're
feeling incomplete because your babies aren't there. And so when
you're tired and you're stressed and you're broke and you're frustrated.
Sometimes you say things in anger that you don't really mean.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, and we'll both do it back and forth. And
I just want to let her know that I do
love or no matter what.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
So maybe you need to do for yourself what you
tell your kids when they're fussing at each other.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Do you give them a time out?

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
When I'm feeling that way, I honestly have to go
give myself a time out and separate myself because I
just get ugly.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah, you're just really irritable and every little thing gets
to you.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I will play a song for you and your mom
if you promise me that next time you're feeling like that,
you will give yourself a time out and just say
you know what, I'm going to go for a little
walk right now before I say something I regret.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Yeah, I will.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. What can
I do for you tonight? Is it Tigger or Tiger?

Speaker 4 (04:58):
It's Tiger.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm assuming this is a nickname. No, don't assume that's
your real name.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It really is. Yeah, man, I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Hard grown up with the name Delilah. Tell me what
you want to tell me, Tigger well.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Let me give you the rundown. About three and a
half years ago. I started working for a company that
basically taught people with developmental disabilities. And I met this
really nice person there. It was my supervisor. Her name's Kim,
and we got to be really good friends. And over
the years, you know, we experienced things, we did things together,
go to concerts, just always strictly friendship. I was even

(05:34):
in the delivering room when she had her daughter. And
long story short, we had a really bad falling out
and a new person came over and took over the
company and they were trying to get rid of all
of the old people that were there for so many
years and replace us with new staff. And I knew
I was next, and Kim and I had had a
falling out and I am just pond scum because I

(05:55):
took her with me, so I basically got her fired.
And she listens to your show too, And I really
want to get my apology out because what I did
was totally wrong. You know, I accused her of something
that wasn't true. Yeah, palm scum. I know. I've actually
already apologized to her. I called her up. And keep

(06:17):
in mind, I have not spoken with her until two
days ago, and you know, it was very emotional. Both
of us ended up crying for a while and we
talked for over an hour and we both want to
rebuild our friendship.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
And this is just another way for you to say
I'm really, really, really sorry, she said.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know what I forgave you months ago. Everything happens
for a reason.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Hi, welcome to the Delilah Show.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Who is this?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
My name is Jess Jasmine. What can I do for you?

Speaker 6 (06:52):
I was hoping to dedicate a song in my mom,
but I'm not really sure which sung.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
What do you want to tell your mama?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Jasmine?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
What's her name?

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Her name is Ganet and I'm seventeen years old. But
it's just my mom is my best friend and he's
been there for me through a lot of stuff that
has been going on in our lives. And I just
won't to tell her that I looked up to her,
and then I hope she knows that I love her
every day, even just everything that's happened.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
So what kind of stuff? Uh, what is the weight
on your shoulder?

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Well, she's a single mom. She's she teenage girls and
one teenage son and we've messed up sometimes, and it's
just difficult for us to get through the gag without
yelling at each other. And I just want her to
know that I love her.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
So three teenagers under the same roof with a single
mom trying to keep some similance of order amidst the chaos. Yes,
mm hm. And you forget to pick up your towels
and you leave the wet ones on the floor, which
means more laundry. And she says, you kids are old
enough to do this by yourself. Why are you expecting
me to do this?

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And you leave dishes in the sink when you know
that you shouldn't, and you know that's.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Rude, exactly. And I just want her to know that
I appreciate her, and I appreciate everything she does for
our family.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And we're gonna play Let's make a deal, Okay, Okay,
I will play a song for you, and in exchange,
this week, you are going to consciously decide to make
life easier, not more difficult, on your mother.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, Okay, thank you, good luck, honey.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll share
more with you each weekday on Hey, it's Delilah
