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. Saying I love
you means absolutely nothing if you don't show it. I
(00:23):
used to have such a big problem because when somebody
said something, I believed them. So when somebody said, oh baby,
I love you, I believed them. And so when their
actions didn't line up with their words, I hung onto
their words. I clung to their words instead of noticing
(00:45):
that they went home one night with somebody else. Their
actions did not line up with their words, and so
I foolishly clung to their empty words. Words are meaningless
if you don't back it up by your actions. I
(01:05):
had a friend. She had passed away many many years ago.
She was an elderly woman, and when she and her
husband first got married, they had been married several years,
and she finally said to him, honey, why do you
never why do you never say I love you? Why
do you never compliment me? Why do you never tell
me I'm beautiful? Or why do you never act romantic
(01:29):
towards me? And he said, I told you on the
day that I married you that I loved you. Nothing's
changed since then, so why are you asking? She's stayed
with him, and he finally had an epiphany, a breakthrough
where he realized that you need to show your partner
(01:50):
every day that you cherish them. If you are blessed
to have a partner, a child, a grandchild, a best friend,
somebody that adds joy to your life, show them. Tell
them every day.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I love you, I appreciate you. You matter to me. Steve,
thank you for calling. How are you this evening?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Good? How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm wonderful. I hear that there was a time when
you could have been nominated for our Dog of the
Day award. Yes, very much, but you've changed your evil ways.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Well pretty much. I've tried. I tried to be nice
the last fifteen sixteen years of our marriage.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, tell me how big of a dog you were
and what you did, and then how you changed that,
hopefully to give inspiration to other people that might be
making bad choices.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I think I was very immature the first ten years
of our marriage, but I would you know. I was
out with the boys and had fun, and my wife
stayed home and took care of our We only have
one child. And she took care of him and he's
a very nice kid.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well dad was out partying, yes.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
And.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I regret every minute of it. Now I'm back to
where you build a house ten years ago and we're
just having fun together and I can't make it up
to her, but I'm trying to. But she stayed with me,
which most women wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So you've given up being a spoiled immature boy and
you grew into a man.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And did she forgive you your wild ways?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
She has good for you. She must love you a lot.
She does because you're right. Most women wouldn't put up
with that if you weren't coming home and know.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
She shouldn't have, and she did so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And what's your wife's name?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Joy?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
How appropriate?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
She's a spatial I.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Am glad you have changed your evil way, Steve.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm glad you grew up.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'll play a song for you, enjoy, and may God
bless you with years of joy as one thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You've called Delilah. Who is this?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Hi? Delilah's Amanda?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
What can I do for y'all?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I was wondering if I could request this song? It's
for my mom.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Tell me about your mama, and I'll see what I
can find for ya.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I get it back from job Corps. And I had
gone through some rough times down there, and I had
contacted my mother and asked my mom, you know, can
I come home? And my mom at first she was like,
I don't know, and my mom allowed me to actually
come home. I'm at home now and my mom is
(04:49):
pushing me to be the best that I can be.
And you know, I just had my twenty first birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So were you in job corps to learn skills? Were
you in job corps because you've been making bad choices
and mom couldn't control you. Were you in job corps
because you wanted to finish your education.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I was in job Corps because in high school I
ended up not going through what was needed and my
parents were starting to, you know, get angry with me
because I wasn't going to graduate on time. So I
ended up, you know, pulling myself out of high school.
And I got into the job Core program to get
(05:27):
my education and additional training. And so now I'm back home.
I completed the job Core program. I graduated with my
high school equivalency diploma, my driver's license, and two different trades.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Wow, so you went from struggling and not really having
any focus to being very focused and doing very well.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yes, and I owe all that to my parents.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And what song would you like to hear?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
How about why don't you pick one for me? Delilah.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I'll find a good one for you.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Bye bye, honey Bye. Hi, good evening.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
This is Sam?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Sam. What can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I'm just I'm very happy that I'm able to talk
to you. I'm listening to you for a long time.
I'd like to think of some people who have been
in my life for a long time, and I'm stuck
with me through some very bad times, and they're still
sticking with me today. I a couple of years ago,
almost two years ago exactly, I did some things and
(06:46):
made some very bad choices, some very bad.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Decision, very bad decisions that landed you in a place
where they serve very bad food.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I understand, yes, very bad food.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And then they make you a very homely clothes.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
For the most part, they're not clothes that you would
pick out for yourself.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
No matter where you show, we could have seen a
picture of you, Sam in people magazine's Worst dress section.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Perhaps probably probably you could have. It wasn't a good
place to be. I learned some things, and you know,
I kind of had a couple of things I wanted
to talk about. I want to be concise, But my
main thing is that I really appreciate the people who
have been in my life for so long. My sister,
(07:35):
who's older than I am, so she's always been a
part of my life, stuck with me, wrote to me,
talked to her twice a week on the phone when
I was able to, and some very good friends. And
these people that I'm talking about now are just the
best people that you can imagine, and I'd like to
(07:57):
thank them and thank them for I can never repay them.
I can only love theme back. And I want to.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Freddie welcome. What can I do for ya?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I was wondering if I could relate a message to
a girl who I really loved, very very very much
in the whole wide world. We started about three years ago.
I put her through a lot of pain, and for
the past two months she's been out of my life.
But tonight she's kind of given me a chance, and
I just want to show her that I changed the
words can't express what she really means to me.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, so what is it that you've changed?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I was married when I met her. For the past
three years, I've been saying I was going to go
through a divorce, and really haven't you know, applied to that,
just been bouncing back and forth.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
When you say bouncing back and forth, you couldn't decide
if you were going to leave your marriage or you
actually were with your girlfriend, then with your wife, then
with your girlfriend, then with.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Your wife, is exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yes, that's a big heartbreak, that is.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
And I mean there's times where I just got mad
at her for no apparent reason because I was just
mad at myself and I just couldn't deal with the
whole situation, and.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Because you were being dishonest and you were living a lie.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yes, I just want to make a farther wron that
I don't.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
And have you made amends to the woman you were
married to that you betrayed? Have you told her you're
sorry for dragging her heart around?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yes? I told her I was sorry, and you know,
we have both moved on. This girl walked into my
life at a time where me and my wife were
just having problems and I turned to the girl as
a friend and it just evolved to something that was
so beautiful, and I just didn't know how to accepted that.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
So you want to say you're sorry, you want to
make amends to everybody, You want to start over with
a clean slate.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And what is her name again?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Her name is Ashley, And you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Want Ashley to give you one more chance.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
They gave me one more chance, exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:58):

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