Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast. Can I ask
you a personal question, a really personal question. Are you
(00:22):
an overthinker? Do you play things out in your mind
over and over and over and over again, and you
look at it from every angle and you try to
think of other people's perspectives and you try to figure
out the best answer, and you flip a coin, or
you pray, or you talk about whatever it is to
other people and try to get input because you're stuck
(00:45):
in your overthinking. That's one extreme, that's one side of
the spectrum. And then there are those of us who
don't think at all.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We just do.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We act impulsively, We don't control our impulses, and we
look before we leap, and we end up in a
mess every time. And I'm like, how did I end
up here?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Again?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's right, I didn't think it through. Somewhere in between
those two extremes has got to be a happy medium,
And I don't know where that is, but I do
know this that my higher power just wants me to
say yes, just wants me to say I'm willing. I
am willing to go where you will send me. Think
(01:26):
of the times in life where you said yes, yes, Yes,
I will try this new job. Yes I will try
this new food. Yes I will be your friend. Yes
I will try a new approach. I will think about therapy,
or I will think about talking this through with someone,
or I will go exercise.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Think of all the times you have said yes to
new adventures or new opportunities.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Hi, good evening. Who's this?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Hi, Delilah? This is a meal?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
A meal? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I just was calling out, like, listen to your show
all the time. I'm probably one of the few guys
that actually called in.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I think you're all like hiding it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think it's like a closet thing you don't want
to just come out and met.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Okay. I like love songs, all right, I admit it.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Exactly. They're trying to show the mantra side.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But but you're in touch with your sensitive side.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I like that exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And who are you thinking of this night.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Of mil Actually, no one in particular. I'm just looking
for you to pick a song will help me get through.
I've been like not dating for I broke up with
someone for about a ready get it for going on
almost two years, and I broke up with them, and
then I haven't been involved with anybody for over a year,
and I finally made an opportunity to go out again
(02:42):
start dating, and it wasn't what I expected.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So you think you're ready to jump back in, but
it's kind of scary out there.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, it's just the whole scene. It's just not what
I thought it was going to be. When I got
back into I'm just like, Okay, this is really what
I want. I don't want to stay single for a
while longer support.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
I guess I.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Will find a song for moral support and give you
the courage that when you see somebody that catches your
eye and makes you smile, you just say hi.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I wish I had the courage.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'll find a song about courage and taking chances.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Sounds great, Good luck, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Hi, good evening. Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?
Speaker 6 (03:31):
This is Mary Beth is just Delilah.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It is Hi Mary. What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
How are you? I'm actually as a follow up called Delilah.
I talked to you probably about a year ago and
I was in a very very bad place. I had
a thirty year marriage that was falling apart, and you
gave me some wonderful advice, as you always do on
your show, and as much of at the time, I
didn't believe it. I'm happy to report, probably about a
(03:59):
year later, that my dreams have come true. I've met
this gentleman who is everything to me, and I never
thought it would happen to me. Everybody here, everybody tell
you the same thing. It's going to happen when you're
not looking for it. And he dropped from heaven into
my lap, and I cannot be happier. So I have
(04:19):
a very good story for you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So you called me when everything was falling apart, and
what did I tell you? What did I say to you?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
You told me. You told me to just keep the
faith and to stay positive, and good things happen to
good people. And you gave me some hard truth that
I have come to terms with, in the fact that
you know, if you love something, you have to let
it go. And it was probably not where it should
have been for a long time. You know, I had
(04:47):
some clarity now and I'm in such a better place
now and I just can't be happier and I want
to thank you. And your show is excellent and I
listened to you often.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You are welcome, and I knew you were awesome when
we talked before and you were doing that. Oh, nobody
is gonna like me, and I don't know what I'm
going to do. And I've spent all this time as
identifying as his wife and our family, and now I
don't have anything, and I'm like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I know, and now you can see that you are
awesome just the way you are.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yees, yep, so true, so very true.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm so glad you called me down. Tell me the
name of this new man.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
His name is Caesar, Caesar Caesar.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Hmmm, yes, that just makes that just makes me smile
hearing that name.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I smile every time I hear the name.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I'm so happy for you. And like you said, whether
this works or not, or is your life plan or not,
the fact that you like you and you are comfortable
in your own skin is what matters.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Yes, it's important. It's very important to find yourself first.
And it took me a long time to get there,
but I did get there, and there's no stop on me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now, Hi Amber, thank you for calling. This is Dela La.
How's your spring going.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's good?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
How are you? I'm good. I'm wonderful.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I just called in to ask if you go play
a song. I don't know, if you meet a graduation song,
whatever you want. I'm graduating on Saturday. I just moved
down to Florida to work for Disney, and I met
a great guy down here, and I'm actually flying home
with him to graduate on Saturday, and he's going to
(06:43):
meet my family. And I just was hoping you could
play a song for us.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, let me get this. So you're graduating from college. Yeah,
you're a graduating senior. You got your dream job at Disney.
I did, and now you're.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Falling in love with a great guy.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
How much better could life get?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It doesn't, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean that's three for three, graduating, dream job at
Disney and a wonderful guy.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Wow. And I'm flying home to see Mom, who I
missed very much. And Mom and I used to listen
to your show all the time. I'll get to see
you in a few days. I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, you have a great time. Thank you for calling
and sharing your joy.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, thank you so much, and thanks for giving me
joy because it's really you've helped me through and I
miss mom and everything so well.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Hopefully so long as God gives me a voice, I
will be here for you every night.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Amber.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Thanks Elilah. Hi, welcome to the Delilah Show. Who's this?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I am actually calling because me and my girlfriend we
listen to you every night.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, thank you, You're very welcome.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
The reason I am calling is because I love I
love I'm in love with this girl and I want
to propose to her and I want you to help
me do that. I want it on your show.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Tell me how much you love her, tell me why
you love her so much.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
And the reason I love her is because she is
so like unlike anybody I've been with, Like she is
so mature, and she is so she brings the best
out of me. Like it's like I find balance with her,
you know, Like sometimes I like I'll act a little
bit like you know, like a guy, like a little
bit like I'll act like insensitive, like not insensitive. You
(08:50):
know how guys we act like based on what just
what we see, we're not like thinkers, so she.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Doesn't react when you're kind of being a knucklehead.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
She goes it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Time is, she thinks about it, she processes it, and
then she speaks her mind. Yes, listen to me. Yes,
if you love her and you want me to help
you propose to her, then you're going to commit to
me right now that You're not going to play games
like that ever again.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
If you're hurt with her, if you're angry about something,
then you say, sweetheart, this is bothering me and I'd
like to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I promise you, Delilah, I will not do it again.
I promise you. Like I just don't want to get
in an argument sometimes with her, you know, Like then.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Say all you have to do is say, right now,
i'm feeling hurt or I'm feeling grumpy or I'm feeling angry.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't want to argue with you. So can we
just sit here until I can chill out?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Okay? Like I love her, like I really love her,
Like we love each other, like like she's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Love isn't just a feeling. The feeling of love can
come and go. Love is an action. Love is a
decision to put her needs above yours always, and if
she needs to know that you are there for her,
don't ever shut her down. Okay, got it?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So aman you said that you wanted to change your
ways and treat this lady like gold, and you promised
me that you would do that. And if I told
you if you would follow through on that commitment, I
would help you ask a very important question.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Okay, Samantha, I love you. I feel amazing around you.
You are my soulmate. You're what I've ever wanted. I
would like to spend the rest of my life with you.
Would you marry me?
