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. Do Hey, it's Delilah.
I hope you had a spectacular summer. Now we are
(00:23):
heading heart long, headlong into fall. Today we're going to
be hearing about folks who broke the friendship code, folks
who decided to go out with a friend's ax. We'll
see how well that turned out. Coming up next. Hi, Robin,
(00:45):
this is Delilah.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah? I want to dedicate a song to my husband.
We've been marry going on twenty years, believe or not,
we only knew each other two weeks or last time
we've been married twenty years.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You knew each other two week when you got married? Yes, wow,
and you managed to stick it out.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It wasn't that difficult. We were meant to be. I
love you more today than I did twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Rick? So?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
How old were you, Robin when you got married?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I have to tell you that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, in inquiring minds need to know.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I was twenty two, believe it or not. He was
supposed to take out a friend of mine. My two
friends thought, well, I needed a girl's night out. Well,
I really didn't want to go, but I went for
a little while, and I wanted to go back home.
And my friend said, you know, I'd asked Rick, you know,
would you take her home? And he said sure. He
took me home, but he never went back on the
(01:43):
date with her.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
He took you home and stayed there.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, yes, and no. Actually we rode around, and I
mean we had a nice long conversation. We found we
had a lot in common.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And so did your girlfriend forgive you for taking her date?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Have you talked to her since? No, Well, then she
wasn't a very good girlfriend. P Well, no, if you
guys were close friends, you would have certainly talked about it.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, he didn't have a ring on his finger.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
No, he did not. Fair game.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Fair game.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I'd say the fact that you're still in love
after twenty years proves that you were the one he
should have been on the date with.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I really appreciate him because I am blind. He does
a little bit of everything. I know. I tell him
and I show him that I love him. But I
just want him to know I you know, I really
love him, and I really appreciate everything he's done.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Hi, Susan, welcome. What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I have been in several miserable relationships and was one
of those people that would go to the grocery store
where you saw those happy couples buying groceries together. And
I always hoped and wanted him, wish that I would
have something right then, and never thought it would happen.
And I always had people saying to me, it happens
when you least expect it, and I would just get
(03:09):
to the point where I feel like saying, if you
say that one more time, I'm going to scream. But
I did actually finally meet my Prince Charming. We dated
for just several months and then finally got married in
Jamaica on the beach.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So where did you meet Prince Charming?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, that part of the story is not so idyllic.
He was actually a friend. He was dating a friend
of mine and their relationship didn't work out, But we
had also got to know each other as friends through
that relationship, and we were out one night, just out
as friends, was with his daughter, and his daughter turned
(03:51):
around and said, Dad, you have so much fun. You
know what, you really need to go out with this woman.
So the relationship with the friend ended, and shortly thereafter
we started dating. So that part I'm not too happy about,
because there were some broken hearts. But it was just
one of those things.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
But if she wasn't interested.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Right right, and the relationship wasn't working, and she didn't
seem to be too receptive to working on the problematic
areas of the relationship.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So basically he kicked her to the curb and thus
ended your friendship.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Let me find a song for your Prince Charming. I'm
glad you found one another.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Thank you. It was a pleasure speaking to you, and
your show is absolutely fabulous. You keep up the good work.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Thank you, sweetheart. Hello, you've called the Delilah Show. What
can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't really know.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
I just called. Yes, you could give me any advice?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
All right? What's your name? My name is cij Okay CJ.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Tell me your situation and I will give you my
best insights. Understand, I'm not a counselor, I'm not a therapist.
I'm just a woman who's made a lot of mistake.
So tell me your situation.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well, I kind of am starting to like a boy
that my friend is dating or they're unofficially together. I
don't know what to do as in too like, help
me stop liking him, or if I should stop liking him.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Well, or to say something.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Uh no, you don't say anything. You can't break the
friendship code. That breaks the friendship code, of course not.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
That's why I'm calling for advice to know what to do.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So what you do is you put your feelings on hold.
You say, I'm attracted to him, He's cute, he makes
me giggle. But my friendship is far more important than
a crush. It is because as friendships are forever.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Crushes. How old are you?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I am only fifteen years old.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, so crushes last sometimes six months, sometimes eight months.
When I was fifteen, it was more like eight weeks. Uh,
crushes aren't something that lasts. Crushes don't last forever. But
your friendship, if you nurture that friendship, it will last forever.
I just got back from my forty fifth class reunion.
(06:27):
My friends and I are all in our sixties and
we have been friends since we were nine years old.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Wow, I have friends from runnever I was seven years old.
I want to fill stay friends that long. I hope so.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I hope so too.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And I actually broke the friendship code more than once
because I thought my emotions and my feelings and my
crushes were more important than my friends. But my friends
forgave me and we worked through it. And I'm here
to tell you your friendship is far more important than
(07:01):
your crush. So put the crush on ice and say
not today. Gonna not gonna give in to this crush today.
I'm going to honor my friends. Okay, all right, I'm
a great rest of your summer. Thank you, Bye bye, sweetie.
