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.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The birds, the bees, the animals, even plants don't have
to be reminded to breathe. If my horse gets an
energy burst and runs back and forth across the field
a couple of times, his nostrils flare and he breathes deep.
(00:39):
Plants inhale and exhale, and yet we forget how important
it is to slow down and take a deep breath.
Five or ten deep breaths will change your attitude really well.
When I am losing it, when I am throwing a fit,
(01:00):
when I'm going Craig Cray. If I can just stop
myself and breathe deep four or five times, I can
diffuse my temper, my anger most of the time, unless
you start arguing with me, in which case I'll bets
are off. Ah, Breathe deep, my friend, take a deep breath.
(01:21):
Breathe deep, and with every deep breath you take, say
a prayer. Thank you for life, for breath, for love,
for opportunities.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hi, Ricky, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I would just like the dedicated song to my fiance
and I don't really have one in mine, but we're
going through a lot of stress about getting ready for
a wedding in a couple of months and just wanted
to see if you could play something for me, Ricky.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
What's your fiance's name?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Lisa?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
How did you and Lisa meet?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
We met actually at college.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
How long have you together?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Just over three years now, so long.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Enough to know this is who you want to spend
forever with. Yes, So is there a lot of stress
with the wedding? Are you going through all that? Oh
my gosh, we don't have enough money. We want this,
we want that.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yes, definitely. We're starting to try to get back to
where we were before and pretty much all the planning's
done with and so we're trying to get back to
where we were before and just try to enjoy the process.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Can I just remind you of one small thing? Sure,
weddings are just events, Yes, that's all they are. Yeah,
they're a symbolic day to signify a choice, a decision
that you've made in your spirit and in your heart
and in your life.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
But that's all they are is an event and.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
To put stress into your life and into your fiance's life,
and to put financial stress on yourself over an event
is ridiculous, right.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, it's not so much to finance angel stuff. It's
just the stress of wanting everything to go well. You know,
she's had everything planned for years what she wanted, and
so I just it's not me so much. It's just
I want to make everything easy for her, and I'm
the calling one in the relationship to try to tell
her that it's going to be okay.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So you're marrying a girl who's a little high strung, Yeah,
a little bit of a perfectionist.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yes, very much, has the whole.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Thing planned out in her mind how it has to be.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, she's down near got everything the way she wanted to.
I think, you know, with the exception of a couple
of things, but not big ones.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I hope it goes smoothly.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But if it doesn't, I hope she's able to roll
with the flow and just to enjoy the fact she's
marrying somebody who adores.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Her as you do.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Well, thank you, and I do adore I love her
with all my heart.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I just want her to know that that is obvious. Sir.
Let me play a song for you.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:05):

Speaker 1 (04:12):
And what's your grandma's name, Louise? What do you want
to tell grandma on the air tonight.

That it's so kay to feel bad and that we'll
get it together.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
What does she feel bad about?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
We're going through some financial troubles and she's seventy three
years old. She's really stressed.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Wait a second, how old are you?
Speaker 7 (04:36):
I'm twenty gonna be twenty one.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Are you the one that takes care of grandma and
is there with her the most?
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Yeah, pretty much to me and my cousin.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
So your Grandma's girl, and when she hurts, you hurt?
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
All right, let me see what I can do to
play a song for you and your grandma and anybody
who's stressing out tonight that God would just give you peace. Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
And I've been praying and everything. When this all started happening,
I was praying and everything was going good. But then
all of a sudden, we just vummitted.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's lie.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Things will go good for a while, and you'll have
your ups and then you'll have your downs. But the
love that it sounds like you have for your family,
especially your grandma.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yes, and the faith that you have is going to
see you through all of it.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:24):

give you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change,
and I will play a song for you.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
It is time for mom to do some serious, serious lecturing.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
I know. And I'm having a hard time with it
because it's her birthday.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, it's a birthday and you want to spoiler and
you want to love on her, and you imagine that
her sixteenth birthday would be a party in a sweet
sixteen and da da da da da, And she's flunking
out of school because else she's doing his text in
the Boyfriend.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Yes, this parenting is very hard.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I know, but you're doing what you got to do.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And even though it's breaking your heart because you don't
want to be the heavy, you also want her to
grow up to be a responsible, fully functioning young adult.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Right, And that's my main thing is I told her that.
You know, she doesn't see it now, but this is
going to determine whether she gets to go to college
and get a job other than Flippenbergers all of her life.
So and she wants to be a professional chef, and
she's got to be able to have good grades to
get into school.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Oh how I remember those days. I know me too,
and putting my parents through hell.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yes, I will play a song for the two of you,
and I hope that she is able to mature a
little bit and realize if she truly is in love,
she'll be responsible so that they can have a good
life together.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Well, I'd like to have a song sent for my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
What's your girlfriend's name and what do you want to
tell her?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Well, her name is Kimberly and she's a great woman
and she's done everything in her power to make me happy,
and sometimes I know I don't appreciate it as much
as I should, and I know I tend to get
on her nerves quite often, but she stuck with me
through it all, and between us, we have seven kids together,
and it's been very stressful lately, and she's been really
good to me, and I haven't done right by her lately,
(08:34):
and I understand that and just like to let her
know that I love her and I'm sorry that I
am hard to deal with and I'm sorry that I
do call her a.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Lot of stress, So stop doing that.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I'm trying my best, I really am.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
If you recognize the problem, and you recognize that she's
got all this pressure on her and she's not getting
enough sleep, and she's tired and exhausted and the kids
are getting on her life, nerve make sure that the
house is clean and the kids are behaved and nobody's
fussinnat her when she comes through the door.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
We're working on trying to get a day that we
can actually be together just ourselves.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Even if it's just like two or three hours, that
you can just spoil her rotten and kiss her face
and focus on her and make her feel like a
queen again.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
All Right, thank you, thank you, have a good night, Clyde.

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.
