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.
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.

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.

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

Speaker 8 (06:28):
No, I know, it's called boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh it is.
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 3 (07:51):
Yes, you have a good night, Good luck mom.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Thank you, Hi, good evening, Thank you for calling.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
This is Delilah Clyde, What can I do for you tonight?
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.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
