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 are you
someone who has a hard time showing your affections demonstrating
(00:25):
your love? Do not be afraid of showing your love
your affection. Be warm and tender, be thoughtful and kind,
use sweet words of affirmation. Let people know how you
(00:45):
feel for them, tell them, show them. If you can't
speak the words, if you get tongue tied, then write
them out. But let people know how you feel. None
of us are promised a tomorrow. So today, while you
have this glorious day, shower the people you love with love.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Hello Deliah, it's such an honor to.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Talk to you.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Thank you, Laura. What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, I have a special man in my life and
I would like to know if you would play a
song for him.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
His name is Bill?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Bill boyfriend, Bill fiance Bill husband? What's Bill to you?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
He's just a very special friend. I went through a
divorce a year and a half ago, really had no
desire to go out with anybody or meet anybody. And
you know how God has a way of working things,
and here he came. He's just been such a good
person and he's truly a gentleman, you know, the kind
of opens the doors and hold your chair and we
just walk and we hold hands and we talk and
(01:49):
God is just wonderful. And I came out of a
very abusive marriage, so both verbally, physically and emotionally, and
so it's just very different. And he's very special and
like to see if you'd play a song to let
him know that.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So if you're walking and talking and holding hands, that
means he's probably in the boyfriend category.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, he said, so I'm just a little reluctant, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay, but do you walk and talk and hold hands
with people that aren't your significant other?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
No, okay, So what's the fear of saying, yeah, he's
my honey.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I don't know. Delilah's just you know, I don't know
if it's the L word I have trouble with.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Welcome to the Delilah Show, Denise. What can I do
for you?
Speaker 6 (02:40):
I'm just calling because I have a request to play
a song for somebody who has been in my life
for the longest time and has been my best friend,
and he recently, literally five minutes ago, text me and said,
I love.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You, and it's about broke.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
My heart and I want him to know that I
do love him back, and I want to play a
song for him to let him know.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
So when he said I love you, was he saying
that as a best friend, I love you, or was
he saying, by the way, I want to kiss your face,
I love you.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I think if I want to kiss your face.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
I love you.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
What's his name, Denise, name's Kyle. How long have you
and Kyle been bestie's about four years? And honestly, how
long have you wanted to kiss his face?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I haven't, Actually.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
You haven't thought that way?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
No, No, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
He's been in the friend zone all this time.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
He has. He's always been there and said, you know, hey,
I'm here for you. You know I got your back,
you know you're you're my girl. I got you, and
then text me and said, hey, I love you, And
I have no idea what to say back except I
love you too, because I do.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
So this is a friendship that's caught fire.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
It's crazy thinking about this person in that way.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But you know, I said I love you back. And
I think he fell asleep, so we'll see what happens
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
So he could he confessed the craziest thing in the world,
and now he's not answering.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Oh my word, all right, I will play a song
for you.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Good luck, Thank you, Delilah.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi is this Celia? Yes, Hi welcome, This is Delilah.
How can I help you?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (04:47):
I was wonting if you could fign me a song
to play for my boyfriend Brandon.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
What do you want to tell Brandon?
Speaker 8 (04:54):
It's kind of hard to me to like explain like
how I feel all the time. He's really like emotional.
He tells me how he feels all the time. And
I feel bad because I never say things back to him,
you know. And I just want them to let him
know that I do care and I do want to
be with him. It's not that so.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You're not effusive with words. You're kind of tongue tied
when it comes to emotions. Yeah, and Brandon is the
poetic one who goes on and on and on about
how much he adores you. Yeah, and then does he
feel like you don't care because you just sit there
and don't say anything.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, I would guess so. I mean as somebody who
is extremely effusive myself and loves to write poems and
songs and long windy letters. And it's nice to get
feedback to hear. I love you too more than life.
You're wonderful. I want to spend forever with you. Anything,
just give me some feedback. Yeah, So why are you
(05:50):
so shy about it?
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I don't know, I just aim I don't know. I
guess I'm afraid afraid of what, afraid of really liking him?
Maybe I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Obviously you got through on the phone line tonight, which
tells me you obviously like him because you put a
lot of effort into hitting redial.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
I know it took forever.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Is there somebody else you would rather be with?
Speaker 8 (06:15):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Would you rather be alone?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, so this is the one you want to be with? Yeah,
this is the one that's captured your heart and you
just can't say it. Yeah, okay, you work on that,
would you? And I'll find a song for you?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
Thank you, Angela High, How are you fine? Welcome aboard?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
This is Delilah. What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I was gonna request this song for my best friend.
We recently met and he's just meant everything to me,
and I wanted him to know that I really do
like him more than a friend. But it's really hard
for me to tell him that because I'm afraid I'm
gonna lose everything, lose our friendship. You know. It scares
me to tell him that. I'm gonna have to find
someone to tell him. And I hope by this song,
(07:04):
if he's listening, he'll know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Now what's his name? His name is Wes And what
song do you think will speak to his heart and
say all the words that you just can't seem to
get out of your lips.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I don't know, hmm.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
So we want one that says you're my best friend,
but I think you're pretty darned cute on top of that.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, and he's just an awesome person. He makes me laugh.
And today I kind of hinted it around, you know,
trying to tell him that I really the way I
really feel about him, that I just can't see myself
doing that.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And now, has he ever given you any indication that he's,
you know, kind of attracted romantically?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Kind of the same hints, I hope.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I mean, I both of you are kind of beaten
around the bushy thing. Yeah, either that or you're afraid
he doesn't really feel that way. And if you say anything,
then you'll look foolish.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
And I'm just afraid that I'd lose our friendship. It's
so great, Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Let me see what Mother Delilah can do to help
things out, just sort of further things along. And if
he says, well, you know, I like you a lot
as a friend, but let's not go there, you can say, hey,
it was D's idea. You know, Delilah is the one
who picked that romantic, sappy song good luck. Let me
play something for you, Bye bye bye.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
As much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll
share more with you
Speaker 1 (08:19):
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.
