Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I have put together some of my favorite radio moments
here to share with you on our daily podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Did you.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Did you have a good day today, A busy day today?
Did you go for a walk, did you go to
the gym? Did you get a lot of things done?
I am a person who wants to do a lot
of things. I like to do a lot of things.
I like to hike, I like to ride horses. I
like to play with my kids. I like to swim. Unfortunately,
(00:40):
I am now trapped in a body that doesn't like
to do a lot of things. Ah, no, it doesn't.
It's like, whoa, we're not. Yeah, we're not climbing up
that hill.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Come on, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We're gonna ride this bike. No we're not.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
No, we're not, my body says, and I argue with
my body and I do it, and then I pay
for it later, like when I'm here in the studio
and I'm like, oh my goodness, I have to walk
up those stairs tonight. If you're feeling a little worn
out because your spirit wanted to do something fun and
your body argued with them, that's.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Okay, that is quite all right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I will be here when you drink another cup of
echination tea and take another ibuprofen.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Hi, Karen, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Hi, welcome. What
can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Well? I walk and listen to your show. I try
to walk about thirty minutes, but the more I listen
to the music and all the comments that get made,
I find myself walking up to an hour, an hour
(01:55):
and a half, two hours, and I flat out get
worn out and I have to quit that.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Don't want to What great exercise?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Oh, let me tell you. And then I sing along
with the songs and.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You must sleep like a baby.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I do. But I know I'm also doing my body
good too, because I have joined weight Watchers, and then
I also exercise and walk, and you make it so pleasurable.
It's like I'm not even exercising because I'm just so
so lost in the music. I just feel so good,
(02:35):
and I know that you're helping so many people and
you don't even know it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, you keep walking and I'll keep.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Talking, right would I would enjoy that immensely?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
All right, I'll play a song for you. Tonight. Good luck.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, thank you so so much for doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Joe.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, I'd like you to play something special for my wife.
We've been married seventeen and a half years and she's
a great mother to out three kids, a great friend
to let know her, but most of all, she's the
best wife in the whole wide world. I'm going through
a special workout plan and diet because I'm going into
(03:23):
a competition tomorrow, and she's been there for me.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
What kind of competition?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh, kind of embarrassing because it's my first time doing it.
It's a bodybuilding competition. I'm forty four years old and
I've never done anything like this before in my life.
And she's been there for me, prepared my meals.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So are you doing the tons of protein, eating raw
eggs and all that stuff?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, you could say that turkey, fish, chicken, eggs, a
lot of eggs, particularly with the fish. When she would
cook my meals the fish, she says, oh, stinks up
the house, But she would do it anyway for me.
And she's out tonight over a friend's. Our friend is
having ladies' night out and all the ladies are over there,
and before she left, she goes, would you want me
(04:07):
to stay home at you tonight? And I says, no,
you go ahead, you need a night out. So she's
just unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So you do have a very supportive relationship.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh yes, Oh yes, definitely. And I've been thanking her
through this whole thing for supporting me, and I tell
her every day that I love her and thank you
so much for doing this, for making my meals. But
I think by playing a special song for her, I
think it'll put the icing on the cake.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
She's everybody's from.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now are you allowed to eat the icing on the cake?
Or is that out right now?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
After tomorrow night?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And I can't wait for that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Let me find a song for you and your wife?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Thank you Daylah, Frank.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Well, there's a lady that I work with. And when
I say work with, I don't mean work is in
work for a living. I mean I do ballroom dancing
and she's my dance instructor. Her name is Laurie. And
the thing that's special about her, well, first off, let
me start. Let me start off with I do ballroom
(05:18):
dancing from a wheelchair and she's not in a wheelchair.
Normally it takes about six three to six months for
someone to get used to working with me what I
can and cannot do, these limitations that the chair imposes
on the steps that you can do, and how to
translate those steps into movements instead of steps. She picked
(05:40):
right up on it. She was just she's a superperson,
and I just want the world to know that she
is a superperson. She's one of those people. Then when
she walks into a room, it lights up.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So how old are you?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I'm thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And when did you decide to take up ballroom dancing.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Three years ago?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Now have you been able to help other people who
are in a chair to learn, you know, to do
this and have fun and be wild.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Well, I don't know about the b will apart, but
my understanding from one of the other people, one of
the other instructors, is that there is now a lady
who is in a wheelchair and when she saw my
tape that that person had, she thought that when she
was injured, that volume dancing was something that was out
(06:30):
of her grasp. And my understanding that he did help
her realize that the chair doesn't really mean a.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Whole lot, and so you've inspired her?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Awesome? Yeah, well, good for you.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Well, thank you, ma'am.

or both both? What's your favorite flower to work with?

Daisies. Daisy's are such a happy little flower.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (07:28):

Speaker 2 (07:29):

because my Shasta daisies sort of took over. So what

good night. You do the same, Judy High. This is Delilah.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Hi, Delilah. I would like to dedicate a song to
my dad. Today's his eighty sixth birthday and it would
just make his day because he's a ballroom dancer.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Really does he still dance? Yes?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
He does. Good for him on dancing the walls, even
though he walks with canes, and he says his memories
not as good as it used to be, but he
insists on dancing. And he has taught us kids. There's
ten in the family. I'm the youngest, and he's teaching
my two children. Aaron's nine years old, she said to
make sure I mention her, and Ryan's twelve. So he
(08:38):
just wants to teach us all wait.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, back up. He had ten children.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Yes, I'm the youngest, the kaboose that was my nickname.
How old was this to ten?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
How old was your mom when she gave birth to you?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
She was forty three. There's fifteen years span between my
oldest sister and myself.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
So yes, it's incredible. And he's you know, he had
all the kids go to dance lessons. You know, he
was a teacher and he's done ballroom dancing and square dancing,
and it's just really a passion for him.

There's fifteen? Yeah, mine are towards the end.
Speaker 1 (09:28):

Most of us have two.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Let me find a song to honor your father, Judy.
What's his name?
