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 you lo Hey,
it's Delilah. We love to share wonderful stories, wonderful calls
(00:22):
with you, and today we're going to do a little mashup,
a mashup of some of my favorite calls, old and new. Hi, Miranda,
welcome aboard. What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well, I just want to tell you a little bit
about my story. I've just been having a rough day
and a rough time because the boy I've liked since
seventh grade he won't notice me. And I'm like twenty
one now and we're in college and I've just been
in love with him ever since then. I just don't
know what to do.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So you're you're in an and a relationship that's totally
one way, is what you're saying. Yeah, does that meet
any of your emotional needs?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He brings me to it, but I don't know if
I bring him joyce. He's my best friend.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You forgot to mention that part that changes everything. So
you're in love with your best friend and he's put
you in the friend.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Zone essentially, I think so.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, does he date other women? Does he have other girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Occasionally but they never work out?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And do you guys talk about it? You say you're
best friends, does he bring it up? Does he say
you know I miss so and so, or I.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Doesn't really like talking about it that often.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I mean, if he's clueless, if he is missing all
the signs, you're going to have to either be more
obvious or just except that he's put you in the
friend zone and that's where you're going to stay.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm just scared to lose my best friend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well, you can continue to keep things as they are,
or you can share how you really feel and see
where it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I guess I can just tell him how I feel honestly.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And if he can't handle that, then he's not really
your best friend, because best friends can talk through anything.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I never thought of it that way.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Oh, I will my honey.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Hi Stephanie. What can I do to make your night
a little brighter, a little more special?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Well, I just want to tell you that I love
you to this. I have listened to you since Ava
was a little I used to go to bed, and
I would listen to you all not long. It helped
me go sleep. But this come in July, it'll be
eleven years that my grandmother has passed. And she was
the best person ever.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It sounds to me like she poured a whole lot
of that goodness, a whole lot of that love into
your heart.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
She did. She was an amazing person. Everybody loved her.
It was rough, still rough, but I know she's watched
over me.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
But all that love, all that goodness, all that joy
that existed in her now lives in you.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yes, ma'am. She was an amazing woman.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Stephanie. Have you ever heard it's a law of physics
that energy never goes away. It's transformed, but it never
ever ever goes away rock Like electricity is transformed into
heat that's transformed into cooking food that's transformed into calories
(03:36):
in your body, that's transformed into energy that pushes a
kid on a bicycle, It doesn't ever go away.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Rock.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The energy of love that your grandma, your mama poured
into you, the energy of love that she felt and
experienced and shared every day of your life, it's not
gone away. No, it will never ever ever go away.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Thank you so much. I love listening to you.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Hopefully I will be around long into your your adulthood
and old age like energy. I'm never going away.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
My goodness, thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You have a good night, darling. Hello, good evening. You've
called the Delilah Sholl Who is this Sarah? Hi, Sarah,

kind of do the mother son dance without having like
my mom is my.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
World kind of song?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Is she his world and they just kind of had
a falling out or has she not been that way?
For him?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It was much more his grandmother that was the highlight
of his world. And we've both had some pretty significant
losses in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So Grandma's not there.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
No, I'm sorry he's had some losses and it's just
what we decided was our time is now.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So you want me to find a song that says,
I'm dancing with this woman who gave birth to me
and I love her and I honor her in a
respector but it was my grandma. That was my whole world. Yeah, okay, Wow,
I'm I'm glad You're not like giving me a challenge
or anything.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
You are the queen of the airways. If anybody can
find one, it would be you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That is true. That is true. And I'm going to
think on this and I'm going to find the perfect
song that says I love you, I respect you, But
isn't schmaltzy or gushy because it sounds like they don't
have that kind of relationship.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
No, they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I will do my best. How's that?
Speaker 4 (06:32):

Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
This is Victoria.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm so glad I find the god a old of you.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hi Victoria, welcome aboard. What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'd like to make a dedication to my daughter. She's
eighteen and she's had a hard time in life, mental health, illness.
She's been in multiple crisis centers, and in the last
couple of years, she's had a couple of really bad,
abusive relationships, and so she doesn't have a lot of
(07:17):
confidence in herself. And I just want to tell her
how much I love her and I'm always going to
be here for her.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And she's eighteen now, Yes she is, which means you
don't get a lot to say in anything.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, but her and I are pretty on this same
page as far as me still being a part of
her medical and mental health care so that she's getting
the help she needs. And you know, she also has
memory issues. A lot of that is because of some
PTSD from her past relationships, so she needs my help
(07:57):
remembering things.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And what is her name?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's Hannah.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
What song would you like me to play for Hannah
to let her know how much you love her?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I hope you dance And that's just a song that
I want her to really catch on to that and
try and live life. And that's what her and I
are both trying to do at this point.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I will play that song for her, and I will
say a prayer for her and for you that God
heals her heart and that she is able to see
just how precious and beautiful she is.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Thank you very much, Delilah, it was so good to
finally get a hold of you.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Hang in there, Mama. I still 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.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
