Speaker 1: alive right now and to be doing what I love
Speaker 1: to do at night. I love being here. I love
Speaker 1: being on the air as much today as I did
Speaker 1: when I started in the seventies. I'm so fortunate that
Speaker 1: I get to be here at night, a part of
Speaker 1: your life, a part of your story, a part of
Speaker 1: your families, a part of your journeys, and hopefully bringing
Speaker 1: that light, bringing God's light into the darkness, because the
Speaker 1: darker the night, the brighter the stars.
Speaker 2: That's right. And you definitely are God's gifts to us.
Speaker 1: You're a gift to me. Thank you, Barbara. Let me
Speaker 1: play that song and you have a beautiful twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1: Russ? I'm wonderful, Happy New Year? How are you?
Speaker 3: Happy New Year? I'm great.
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Russ?
Speaker 3: I just wanted to tell you I've been listening to
Speaker 3: you since I was fourteen.
Speaker 1: You sound like you're a little bit older than fourteen now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm forty four now. But I just wanted to give
Speaker 3: a shout out to my son who's eighteen and I
Speaker 3: got one this twenty one. He just got a CDL
Speaker 3: and we're actually going to be teaming together soon, so
Speaker 3: that's going to be exciting. But the other one just
Speaker 3: graduated early and he's going to college soon.
Speaker 1: How fun to see the country with your son?
Speaker 3: Yes, he likes it too, so it's going to be
Speaker 3: an adventure.
Speaker 1: Do you have your own rig?
Speaker 3: No? I mean we drive for a company. So he's
Speaker 3: in training now. I trained him for five weeks and
Speaker 3: he's going with someone else soon.
Speaker 1: What can I play for you and your whole family?
Speaker 3: Dad, I'm gonna let you choose something because I can
Speaker 3: go on and on about listening to you, and I
Speaker 3: got other things i'd like to talk about too, but
Speaker 3: I take up way too much of your time, Delilah.
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure finally getting through to you because I've
Speaker 3: been reaching out for years.
Speaker 1: Feel free while since you made it through's rue. Tell
Speaker 1: me what's on your heart. If there's someone special, I
Speaker 1: mean your kids are special obviously, is there there is
Speaker 1: something you want to brag about, like lay it and
Speaker 1: put it all out here.
Speaker 3: My kids first. In my life, I've been married and
Speaker 3: divorced twice. I was in the Navy ten years. I've
Speaker 3: lived a life that I'm not proud of, but it's
Speaker 3: just one of those things that you live and learn.
Speaker 1: Are you making better choices today?
Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely, Yes. I've always tried to be the best
Speaker 3: ro model for my kids and I just never have
Speaker 3: settled down with one person. That's what I'm trying to
Speaker 3: get at. I haven't been with anybody in three or
Speaker 3: four years, and I've just driven the semi and taken
Speaker 3: care of life and I don't even think about it.
Speaker 3: I'm still taking care of the kids.
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like you tried to settle down more
Speaker 1: than once, but for whatever reason that that didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe this will be the year that God
Speaker 1: will bring you forever love.
Speaker 3: Maybe so I'm not even looking forward, Delilah, and I
Speaker 3: know that that's when that comes to you, but I'm
Speaker 3: not even looking right now.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to play a song for you and
Speaker 1: your family and you have a beautiful new year. Thank
Speaker 1: you for calling.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: God, bless God, bless you. Hello, good evening, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Delilah Show. Who is this? Hi?
Speaker 4: My name is Nicki.
Speaker 1: Hi Niki, Welcome to the Delilah Show. What can I
Speaker 1: do for you?
Speaker 4: Hi? My girlfriend and I just made three years and
Speaker 4: I was wondering if you could play Everywhere by Fleetwood
Speaker 4: Mac for us.
Speaker 1: How do you know about Fleetwood Macs Everywhere?
Speaker 4: Well, that's our favorite song. That's our song that we
Speaker 4: love to listen to, and we think about each other
Speaker 4: when we hear it because we truly just want to
Speaker 4: be with each other everywhere.
Speaker 1: That song came out when your mother was in high school.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we were also just talking about how
Speaker 4: we both grew up listening to you. We're in our
Speaker 4: thirties now, but we both grew up listening to you.
Speaker 4: And it's just an honor to be able to talk
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 1: Uh, thank you, Thank you for listening. Thank you for
Speaker 1: loving great music, because anybody who loves Fleetwood Mac has
Speaker 1: great musical taste. I'm just you sound a lot younger
Speaker 1: than in your thirties. You sound like you're maybe maybe
Speaker 1: still showing your id when you you know, go to
Speaker 1: a place that serves adult beverages. But that's good because
Speaker 1: in another thirty or forty years, you'll look like you're,
Speaker 1: you know, in your thirties.
Speaker 3: I sure do, hope.
Speaker 1: So let me play that for you and Haley. You
Speaker 1: have a great night.
Speaker 4: Thank you you as well.
Speaker 1: Id welcome. What can I do for you tonight? First off,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Happy New.
Speaker 5: Year, Jeliah. I've listened to you since I was in
Speaker 5: my mid twenties. I'm much older now, much.
Speaker 1: Older, older and wiser, hopefully.
Speaker 5: I believe I am if you were.
Speaker 1: Half the knucklehead that I was in my twenties, aren't
Speaker 1: you glad you're not there anymore?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to tell you why I am and
Speaker 5: I am not. I am glad I'm not there, But
Speaker 5: I'm met somebody much younger much. It's an odd thing,
Speaker 5: but you know, sometimes they're mature people that are much younger.
Speaker 5: And it's a little hard sometimes thinking about this person
Speaker 5: because you know, I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 5: I can't not think about it. But I'm older, and.
Speaker 1: So what if he's over the age of twenty one?
Speaker 1: What difference does it make?
Speaker 5: Oh, he's much older than that, But.
Speaker 1: So why do you care? What difference does it make.
Speaker 5: I don't care what society thinks. I think I care
Speaker 5: that he needs to experience different things, and I don't
Speaker 5: want to take that away.
Speaker 1: Does he want to be with you? Seems so so
Speaker 1: you're deciding what you think is best for him.
Speaker 5: I feel that sometimes right.
Speaker 1: But if he's not, if he's saying no, those things
Speaker 1: are not what's important to me. Being connected to you
Speaker 1: and my heart is what's important to me.
Speaker 5: You're right, but you know, Ja, sometimes what we think
Speaker 5: and what happens doesn't always equal.
Speaker 1: Stop. Give yourself permission to just let this unfold the
Speaker 1: way that God wants it to.
Speaker 5: Thank you God, I appreciate your great words, and if
Speaker 5: you can pick something, I.
Speaker 1: Will pick something wonderful. Give yourself permission to enjoy, love
Speaker 1: and enjoy.
Speaker 5: Have a great year, and are wonderful even.
Speaker 1: If you thank you byebye. I so hope you have
Speaker 1: enjoyed these radio moments as much as I enjoy bringing
Speaker 1: them to you. I'll share more with you each weekday
Speaker 1: On Ay, It's Delilah,
