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 have you
ever met anyone who tells you how humble they are? Ah,
(00:24):
I am not a humble person. I admit it. I
love being in the limelight. I love showing off on stage.
I was that kid. I was that kid in school
that always wanted to be front and center on stage.
The problem was I didn't have any talent. I couldn't sing,
(00:46):
I couldn't act, I couldn't play the drums. I have
had to learn humility. Life has a way of teaching
us humility. Kids have a way of teaching us humility.
Oh my god, the things my kids say if I
if I think I'm looking good. I stepped out in
(01:07):
a black dress one time, thinking I look so good,
and my four year old patted my backside and she said,
my bear, your bum is too big for this dress.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
She was right. I saw the pictures later. Boy, was
she right.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You have to be able to put your ego aside,
especially when you think you're right, when you think you're
right and everybody else is wrong, or maybe you're right
and only one other person is wrong, and you're gonna
stand your ground because you're right. That is your pride
running the show. So find a little humility, sit down,
(01:47):
and let somebody else take center stage, or just let
them live their life.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Kimberly welcome. What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I was hoping you could play a song for my
parents that I haven't seen. It'll be eight years, and
it wasn't a very good goodbye. They lived ten or
fifteen minutes away from me, and I just want them
to know that I'm sorry. I love them and I
would love to have a second chance.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You haven't seen your folks in eight years and they
live a few minutes away from you.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yes, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? Are you Irish?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
No? I am Childish.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Wow, that was a painful honesty. Yes, my family were
mostly Irish and for generations, people in my family have
disowned siblings and grandparents. And I was disowned by my parents.
And it's just weird when it's weird enough when you
(02:44):
live hours away, but when you live five minutes away
or fifteen minutes away, that's got to be pretty weird.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and it's hard okay, So what.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Were you being childish about that you removed yourself or
did something to remove yourself from your family.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Growing up, I always thought my parents didn't love me,
and they, knowing what I know now, they were just
trying to help me get ready for the world. They
disciplined me in ways that most my friends never got
this pun for. So I just felt like they don't
love me, and when I look back now, they were
just trying to protect me.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So you're you're taking the first step towards reconciliation and peace.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Here you're putting it out there.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You're saying I was immature, I was silly, I was childish.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I love you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Can't we please have a life where we include each
other in our circle of life?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Right? Good for you. They've got three beautiful grandsons that
they have never met, and I would really like them
to see them.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, let me play a song and let's hope and
pray that they're listening and.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That you can be a family again. I thank you,
good luck, honey, and I.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Just want to tell them I love you.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Hi, rich Hie, welcome to the Delilah Show. What can
I do for you?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I'm going to try to straighten things out with my
current ext fiance. I've been a real joke to her
for about two years. We had Nardina last Thursday morning
and I pushed her. And right now she's afraid to
be anywhere near me or around me.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I would be too.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I don't I don't think a song is going to
straighten out that kind of of of dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Sweetie.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Well, I know, I know this song won't straighten it out,
and I've actually been going through counseling trying to get
it all straightened out. It's just I've been under a
lot of stress and I snapped in a long way.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So you're in counseling now, yep.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And are you going to any groups to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Or what I'm actually meeting with the minister almost every
other day trying to straighten everything out and get it
all together.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So I will play a song for you, and I
will encourage you to continue to work in that direction.
But I wouldn't guess she's going to feel safe or
eager to communicate with you or be connected to you
for a while until she feels like you're following through
on what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Okay, I know Unfortunately, like I said, we have a
two year old daughter and that's in the middle of
this too. I'm trying to strain it all out so
we can try to pull.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Everybody back together instead of looking at it as a
short term thing. And you want to get back together,
and you want to bring your family back together, and
you want to fix it, you maybe need to step
back and go you know what, this was a long
time coming and it's going to take a while to
fix and I just need to dig in and do
the hard work and not be so eager to prove
to her I'm doing the right things. She'll see it.
(05:42):
She'll see it in your countenance. Let me find a
song for you, and good luck.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thank you, Pamela.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Welcome to the Delight the Show. Why are you losing
your voice?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Because I have a habit of screaming too.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Much, screaming like at a football game, or like at
somebody you love.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Oh, I guess somebody I love.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You've been screaming and yelling, hollering, fighting, screaming.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Kind of yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, Pamela, how old are you seventeen? Learn now, child,
that's not a way to behave in relationships.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
No more. Screaming, No more fussing, no more fighting. Okay Okay, yep,
who you fussing at?
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Oh? My ex boyfriend Robbie.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And who are you calling me to talk about my
ex Robbie? Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
So you're calling me to talk about some guy named
Robbie and your voice is hoarse because you've been fighting
with him, but you want to play a song for him.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Yes, I wasn't really fighting with him. It's just because
I'm kind of upset because everything that's been going on
with me wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't care how upset you are. What's going on.
If it's an unhealthy situation, don't be in it. If
it's a healthy situation.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Stop yelling a healthy situation. Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Tell me that you will either remove yourself from an
unhealthy relationship or you will behave more maturely and not yell.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You're gonna grow up a little bit, honey.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, okay, because that's that's not a good way to act,
screaming and holler and acting crazy. I come from a
long line as scream and holler and acting like crazy
and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yeah, Hi, Adrian, Welcome to the Delilah Show. What can
I do for you?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I was wondering if you could play a song for
my stepdaughter.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
What's her name? And what do you want to tell Laura?
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I just want to tell her that I know it's
been a long long time since we have been together,
and through means of illness and bad choices, we don't
see each other anymore, and I'm asking her to maybe
someday if God would soften her hat so we could
(08:10):
at least talk.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So who made the bad choices?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You were your step downer?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Well, I made him, and I emotionally hurt her and
physically hurt her.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So this was an abusive situation.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Yeah, I was, and but I've gone through a lot
of therapy and a lot of counseling and I feel
so much better now.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Adrian, How old is your step.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Down her now? She's the twenty three.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Does she know that you've confessed your mistakes and that
you've sought help and that you realized that you were
in the wrong.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
I don't know she has. I don't have any contact
with her, So I'm hoping through the powers to be
that she has realized that made very good choices in
my life. And you want to apologize She really helped
me to get the help I needed by doing what
she had to do too, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Which was telling on you.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I wish that all young women and man who came
forward and said I'm being abused, that their abuser would
get as healthy as it sounds like you've gotten and
recognized that that person's honesty is a good thing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I wish that that all victims would have the courage
to seek help.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Well, I know, I.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Thank God for where I am right now, because she
has a lot to do with that too.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You know, he has everything to do with that, han Yeah,
trust me, we wouldn't be having this conversation had he
not stepped into your heart. Yeah, right, because you'd still
be making bad choices.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm glad that you're getting help, Adrian, and I'm glad
that you're asking forgiveness. I will play a song for
your stepdaughter, and I hope that she realizes that in
her coming forward and admitting that she was being abused,
that she not only saved her life, but perhaps yours
as well.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Well. Thank you do Ailah, Bye bye bye.
Speaker 1 (09:52):

much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll share
