00:00:03
Welcome to the Apple Z.
00:00:05
The Storytelling Podcast from BYU Radio, where your family can gather for great stories from great story tellers in every episode.
00:00:13
Stories bring us together.
00:00:16
And we hope the stories on the show will spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the people you love.
00:00:23
You know, we say that in just about every episode.
00:00:26
We do hope that the stories we bring you on the Apple Seed will bring memories and thoughts to your mind and that you share those stories.
00:00:35
Well, today we're going to bring you a special episode to honor the importance of those stories.
00:00:40
We hope you're remembering and sharing.
00:00:42
Normally, when you listen to our podcast, you hear stories from professional storytellers from all over the world.
00:00:48
But today, we wanted to focus on stories submitted to us by listeners just like you.
00:00:53
We're calling the episode DIY stories.
00:00:56
Do it yourself stories.
00:00:58
Sometimes you get your story fixed from the great performances of other people.
00:01:03
And well, sometimes you do it yourself.
00:01:06
We put out a call to you to send in stories you might like to share.
00:01:10
And we were thrilled with what you said.
00:01:12
And we're ready to share a whole episode highlighting some of those stories now.
00:01:15
The first story comes from Becca Hurley.
00:01:19
Becca is an improv actor, a songwriter, and a podcast producer.
00:01:24
Here's Becca's story.
00:01:25
She calls it Amibik Menengitis.
00:01:29
So it's my freshman year in college.
00:01:34
And I had signed up for a bunch of classes, really not knowing how to register.
00:01:38
And somehow, I accidentally registered for this amazing class that was geological field studies.
00:01:45
I was just trying to pass off a science credit.
00:01:47
Instead, I found myself every Tuesday for a period of about six hours being driven out into the mountains or the plains or these volcanic rock deposits.
00:01:57
We would go with a geology professor and he would just tell us about the landscape.
00:02:01
The midterm for this class was that we got to go visit hot springs and go swimming.
00:02:05
And so I was doing a little research on my own and looking up things about hot springs.
00:02:10
And that's where I learned that there's kind of a health advisory warning about swimming and warm bodies of water.
00:02:16
And that is that they often contain Amibis.
00:02:19
These Amibis, if they like enter your nasal passages or they get inside you, basically, they can travel to the brain and cause life-threatening or fatal meningitis.
00:02:32
Well, naturally, I was a little freaked out about this.
00:02:34
And so I just made a mental note.
00:02:35
I'll never immerse my head.
00:02:36
Apparently, that was enough.
00:02:38
I'll just never let my face go in the water.
00:02:39
And then I should be just fine, no risk of Amibik Menengitis.
00:02:44
Anyway, the day comes.
00:02:45
We go out.
00:02:45
It's a beautiful day.
00:02:46
The hot springs are so cool.
00:02:48
And then I forget.
00:02:50
And in this one little lapse of memory, I let my face dip into the water.
00:02:55
I feel the water go out my nose and I start.
00:02:58
And I'm like, oh, no, I've exposed myself to Amibis.
00:03:01
What have I done?
00:03:02
I try not to think about it.
00:03:03
I think this was just a moment.
00:03:05
It's still super rare.
00:03:07
I'm sure I'm probably just fine.
00:03:09
And then we start loading back up onto the van to drive all the way back to campus.
00:03:15
And I start to realize that I'm feeling kind of cold.
00:03:18
But that's okay.
00:03:19
You know, our clothes are all wet.
00:03:20
Our hair is wet.
00:03:21
We've just been swimming.
00:03:22
I'm not feeling that great.
00:03:24
And by the time we get back to just our dorms, I'm actually starting to tremble.
00:03:30
And I realize that I've got the symptoms of a fever.
00:03:33
There in my dorm room, I start googling again the symptoms of Amibik Menengitis.
00:03:38
And now I'm on the WebMD page.
00:03:39
And I am reading through everything in all of a sudden the symptoms that I have start to match everything I'm seeing and I am getting scared.
00:03:47
And so wrapped in all of the bedding that I owned, I tried to diagnose myself using WebMD.
00:03:53
And I called out to my roommate who was only a few feet away.
00:03:56
And I said, Sydney, if something happens to me, I need you to tell them that it's Amibik Menengitis and they have to act fast.
00:04:03
And of course, without any context, she was like, okay, you look fine.
00:04:09
And then in the meantime, I was thought, well, what happens if I collapse?
00:04:13
It can move so fast, right?
00:04:14
This Amibik Menengitis, it can kill you in 24 hours.
00:04:17
What if we don't even have that time?
00:04:19
So I'm leaving a note on the desktop of my laptop saying, if you're reading this, I've succumbed to Amibik Menengitis, I need immediate care.
00:04:27
And then finally, feeling really sick at this point, I go to sleep.
00:04:32
And I wake up the next morning, actually feeling not that bad.
00:04:36
I do have a cold, but not like Amibik Menengitis bad, or at least what I imagine that would be.
00:04:42
As it turns out, I had probably the worst 24-hour bug I've ever had in my whole life.
00:04:48
And it just coincidentally happened to be in the perfect time frame when I put my face in the water of a hot springs and managed to convince myself that I had Amibik Menengitis.
00:04:57
I'm really glad it wasn't that.
00:05:00
That is the story of my close brush with Amibik Menengitis, but really my close brush with WebMD, which I've now learned to take with a grain of salt.
00:05:09
That was Becca Hurley with a story she calls Amibik Menengitis.
00:05:18
And our next story is from longtime listener Carla Huntsman.
00:05:22
Carla told us, "I love the connection and warmth I feel from each apple seed show."
00:05:29
We're really thrilled to hear that from Carla.
00:05:31
It's how we feel about great stories, too.
00:05:34
And here's a story about when Carla was a high school drama teacher in Idaho Falls.
00:05:40
She calls the story David and King Arthur.
00:05:44
Here's Carla.
00:05:45
When day, while I was doing the dishes,
00:05:55
I received a phone call.
00:05:57
The person on the other end of the line said, "This is David Bird.
00:06:01
Do you remember me?"
00:06:02
Of course I remember David Bird.
00:06:05
David had played a magnificent King Arthur in our production of Camelot, what I worked as a high school theater teacher.
00:06:13
David then said, "I want you to know that being in that story of King Arthur saved my life."
00:06:20
He said that when he was eight months old, his father had died.
00:06:25
And he had no siblings.
00:06:26
It was just him and his mom.
00:06:28
And he felt alone, insecure.
00:06:30
He felt sad.
00:06:31
To add to all of this, he had dyslexia and ADD.
00:06:35
And school was very difficult for him.
00:06:38
When he was a junior in high school, he was getting D's and F's and getting into trouble.
00:06:44
The guidance counselor had just told him, "You better find something to do with your hands because you're never going to graduate from high school."
00:06:52
He said, he didn't know what induced him to audition for Camelot.
00:06:58
He wasn't a theater student.
00:07:00
I didn't know him, but these were open tryouts.
00:07:03
And he said he found himself in the choir room singing "Touch Me Babe" from the doors and reciting this side for Camelot.
00:07:14
Mr.
00:07:14
Operaley, who was the choir director was sitting beside me.
00:07:18
And he said, "Well, I think we found our King Arthur if we can just teach him how to sing, but sing he did."
00:07:26
He said that a miracle happened to him on the second night of performance.
00:07:32
He was doing a scene with the villain of the piece, Mordred.
00:07:36
And they had three pages of lines.
00:07:40
And the student playing Mordred started on the bottom of the third page instead of the top of the first.
00:07:46
And David, remember David had dyslexia.
00:07:50
He said he saw those three pages lined up absolutely perfectly.
00:07:55
And he knew exactly what to do to get them back on track.
00:07:59
The audience never knew that anything had happened.
00:08:03
In that moment, he knew he was going to make it in life.
00:08:08
I left the school at the end of that year to go get my master's degree.
00:08:13
And I didn't know what happened to David.
00:08:15
But he told me on the phone, I did graduate from high school.
00:08:20
And I graduated from college with a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, a PhD.
00:08:26
And he had been very successful.
00:08:29
He said he had recently gone to England for a conference.
00:08:33
And he found a place where Arthur and Gwynnevere are said to be buried.
00:08:39
There's a plaque there.
00:08:40
He put his hand on that plaque and he said reverently.
00:08:45
Thank you, Arthur.
00:08:47
Thank you for your story.
00:08:49
And I say to David, thank you, David.
00:08:52
Thank you for your story.
00:08:54
Carla Huntsman with her story,
00:09:06
David and King Arthur.
00:09:08
Carla has told stories and even taught storytelling for decades.
00:09:12
And she says her favorite part of telling stories for audiences is when audience members come up after the performance and tell her their stories.
00:09:22
That really is the greatest.
00:09:23
And we couldn't agree more.
00:09:25
That is the best, isn't it?
00:09:26
Some of the stories sent to us by listeners were childhood recollections, like this story from listener Paul Ebertin.
00:09:34
Now his family agrees he's the big storyteller in their family.
00:09:38
He grew up in Bellevue, Washington, where his childhood playground was the nearby lake and a pond where he loved to catch frogs and toads and ducks and geese.
00:09:49
Here's Paul's story.
00:09:51
He calls it froggy goes to school.
00:09:54
Paul Ebertin on the apple seed.
00:09:57
One morning when I was in fifth grade, I woke up early and I decided I might as well go to school early.
00:10:09
As I was walking along, I saw a frog and I thought I should catch that frog.
00:10:14
So I ran over to get it.
00:10:16
Hop-hop-hop.
00:10:17
He was trying to get away.
00:10:18
So I ran faster.
00:10:19
Hop-hop-hop.
00:10:20
So I ran faster.
00:10:21
Hop-hop-hop.
00:10:22
And finally I grabbed that frog and I looked at him and I said, "Froggy, you are going to school with me.
00:10:32
When I arrived at the school, there was only one other kid there, Roland, and he was trouble."
00:10:38
And I said, "Hey Roland, I got a frog in the way to school."
00:10:40
And he said, "Oh really?
00:10:41
Let me see him."
00:10:42
So I reached into my pocket, pulled him out, showed it to him.
00:10:46
And he said, "Hey, that's really cold.
00:10:48
Roland looked at me and said, "Hey Paul, I got an idea.
00:10:51
Take the frog and put it in Miss Fran Cisco's desk drawer."
00:10:55
Yeah, that's a great idea.
00:10:56
I whipped open the class door, ran over to Miss Fran Cisco's desk, opened up the drawer, grabbed the frog from my pocket, put it into her drawer, ran back outside and Roland and I resumed talking as if nothing had happened.
00:11:13
The other kids started arriving and we waited until most of them had come in and taken their seats before we went in and sat down.
00:11:21
As it always did, class started with pledge allegiance.
00:11:25
After which time, she was standing behind her desk, teaching her lesson when she reached down to grab something out of her desk drawer.
00:11:34
As she opened the drawer, she looked down and paused and then looked up with a half-smile on her face and said, "Somebody put a fake frog in my drawer."
00:11:45
And she reached down to grab the frog and when she did, hopped right out at her and she lurched backwards with a screech and hit her head on the cupboard right behind her desk.
00:12:00
Well, nobody but Roland knew my secret that day.
00:12:04
I was the one who brought Froggy to school.
00:12:08
That was Froggy Goes to School, a story told by Paul Eberting.
00:12:18
Paul told us that his favorite thing about the apple seed is the uplifting stories that are fun for people of all ages.
00:12:27
Paul, we're glad to hear it.
00:12:32
Don't go away.
00:12:34
We've got more stories to come.
00:12:39
[Music]
00:13:07
It's great to be with you on the apple seed where today we're presenting DIY stories sent in by you, our listeners.
00:13:17
We always say that we hope the stories we bring you on the show spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the people that you love.
00:13:24
And we loved getting stories from you that you said were inspired by something you heard on the apple seed.
00:13:31
For example, in an episode last season, I shared some thoughts, a story of my own about how I love to visit new places, new places, always enchant me,
00:13:41
the beautiful things you see, the amazing people you need.
00:13:46
I always long to stay there, move right into every amazing place I visit until I get home.
00:13:53
And that's when I see through new eyes, the amazing place where I actually live.
00:13:59
And I'm filled with thankfulness that I live there.
00:14:03
And that's a story that resonated with Jan Smith, one of our listeners.
00:14:08
She was a military wife for many years.
00:14:11
And she's lived with her family in Washington, DC, Denver, Hawaii, and Germany, Minnesota, and the state of Washington.
00:14:19
She knows a thing or two about making a home wherever you are.
00:14:23
And after listening to the story I shared, Jan shared with us this lovely story that happened when her family was stationed in Fort Lewis.
00:14:33
Here's Jan.
00:14:34
Our family lived in a two-story duplex among rows and rows of identical dwellings.
00:14:46
One evening, I was serving dinner to my husband and five children.
00:14:51
When one of the kids yelled out, "Hey, there is a lady in our backyard taking a picture."
00:14:55
We all looked out and we began to watch a young woman, probably in her 20s, lived a four or five-year-old girl up into a tree to take a photo.
00:15:06
The young woman disappeared from our view soon, but then there came a knock at our front door.
00:15:11
It was the young woman.
00:15:13
Excuse me, she said, but my family used to live in these very quarters when my dad was stationed here at Fort Lewis.
00:15:21
And we were in the area and I just wanted to show my little girl where I grew up.
00:15:25
Do you mind if I walk around the outside of your house and take some photos?
00:15:29
No, I don't mind at all.
00:15:31
She walked back behind our house to the playground.
00:15:36
There she hoisted her daughter up on an ancient slide and snapped another photo.
00:15:40
And then they were walking from tree trunk to tree trunk, probably looking for the little tree frogs, like the ones my four-year-old liked to catch.
00:15:48
They walked over to a building called the Boy Scout Shack.
00:15:52
They got down on their hands and knees and they looked under the building.
00:15:56
I surmised that rabbits had always lived here.
00:15:59
And in a few moments, they were back in my front yard again.
00:16:03
I opened the door and I said, "Why don't I take a photo of both of you standing between the pillars?"
00:16:08
"Oh, I would love that."
00:16:10
She said, "And so would my parents."
00:16:12
I took the photo and I found myself saying, "Would you like to come in and show your daughter your old bedroom and look around a bit?"
00:16:20
"Oh, that would be wonderful," she said.
00:16:22
I'd barely opened the door and she bound it up for a million stairs to the bedroom.
00:16:26
My daughter had now decorated with a pink strawberry shortcake motif.
00:16:31
Soon they came downstairs and when she came into the kitchen, she started laughing.
00:16:37
My mom hated these metal cabinets and I think they were painted green when we lived here.
00:16:42
She began walking toward the front door.
00:16:46
She shook my hand.
00:16:47
She said, "Thanks a lot."
00:16:49
This meant so much.
00:16:51
She started crying.
00:16:52
I said, "It was nothing.
00:16:54
We understand.
00:16:56
My children have lived a lot of places.
00:16:58
I'm just glad we were home."
00:17:00
"Well, thanks a lot," she said.
00:17:03
And she made her way out the door.
00:17:05
I looked into my army quarters.
00:17:08
I looked at the hardwood floors, refinished again and again, hiding the scuff marks and the furniture being moved in and out.
00:17:17
I looked at the walls, painted wide over and over again, hiding the crayon marks on the nail holes where other families had hung their photos.
00:17:27
There were layers of story in these army quarters.
00:17:31
I had once attended a seminar for army spouses.
00:17:36
The presenter, a military wife, said, "I have always told my children, we may not own a house, but we've always had a home.
00:17:46
I have made my home in military quarters in Europe and Hawaii and stateside.
00:17:53
I have watched military families all over the world support their active duty member who is standing watch over the land of the free while they truly live in the homes of the brave."
00:18:08
That was a story called "Homes of the Brave."
00:18:17
A story told for you by Jan Smith.
00:18:20
Jan says her favorite thing about storytelling is how stories connect people.
00:18:26
We couldn't agree more.
00:18:28
Some of the stories we heard from listeners were tributes to loved ones, like this story from listener Stephanie Rollhizer.
00:18:36
Stephanie was raised in Kansas City, Missouri, where she was close to her grandparents Giuseppe and Filomena Tutorino, lovingly known as Joe and Mini.
00:18:48
Her loving memorial is called Where My Heart Lies.
00:18:55
Here's Stephanie.
00:18:59
As first-generation Italian-Americans, raising kids is the thread of the fabric that create our very lives.
00:19:06
Everything we do revolves around kith and kin, so you can imagine the disappointment that they had in not being able to fulfill what they perceived as their destiny.
00:19:16
So they decided to adopt and on July 30th, 1945, they welcomed a two-day old baby girl Kathy, my mother, into their loving home.
00:19:27
I loved my grandma and grandma more than anything in this world, and they were good people, kind, hardworking, who would give you the shirt off their backs.
00:19:38
So when my mother told me she wanted to find out who her birth mother was and why she was given up for adoption, I was confused.
00:19:46
But I guess the more I thought about it, the more sense it made.
00:19:50
Think about coming from a culture where ancestry and heritage are so pronounced.
00:19:57
Of course you would look in the mirror and wonder, who do I favor?
00:20:01
Whose mannerisms do I have?
00:20:03
Who was my birth mother and why did she give me up for adoption?
00:20:07
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know the answers to these questions.
00:20:12
So when finally my mother's adoption file arrived from the state of Missouri, I poured over it with desert-like deprivation.
00:20:21
I gulp down every detail, every tiny drop of information when I got to the part where the social worker had taken notes about my grandma and grandpa.
00:20:32
I was completely and wholly unprepared for the emotions that washed over me.
00:20:39
Reading these small kindnesses and sweet graces caught me off guard.
00:20:47
The way my grandma would second naturely touch my grandpa's elbow or how his hand would slip into the small of her back as he guided her while she walked the whispers of comfort they gave to one another when having to discuss their difficulty conceiving a child or the smile in their eyes and devotion in their voices they had to talk about one another.
00:21:14
This was my heritage.
00:21:16
These were my roots.
00:21:18
These were the people who molded and shaped me into who I was to be.
00:21:24
These were my grandma and grandpa and that filled my cup much more than any answers that were filled in by some lovely woman who had to give up her child for adoption,
00:21:38
for a better life and better opportunities.
00:21:42
But to this woman, I am forever grateful because thanks to her, my heart, my soul,
00:21:52
my psyche, rust safely and lovingly in the heart and the heritage of my grandma and grandpa Joe and Minnie Tudorino.
00:22:03
That was listener Stephanie Rollhizer and her story Where My Heart Lies.
00:22:12
She loves sharing this story because she says her grandparents were a shining example of a real love story involving respect, dedication,
00:22:23
hard work and abounding romance that survived 79 years.
00:22:29
Thanks for sharing Stephanie.
00:22:31
And to round out our episode today we thought we'd bring you part of a delightful conversation in which listeners Dan and Annie Eastmond shared some memories that came to mind for them after hearing an apple seed episode in which the great story teller Donald Davis shared a story called Pease and Carrots.
00:22:51
It's a story about Donald's methods for getting rid of food he didn't like at the dinner table when he was a kid.
00:22:59
You can find the story Pease and Carrots in our archive by searching for it by name on BYUradio.org or on the BYU radio app.
00:23:07
Here are Dan and Annie to chat about that story.
00:23:14
We recently re-listened to a story that we've loved from Donald Davis.
00:23:21
It's called Pease and Carrots, but he talks about how he and his brother Joe were little boys lived in a small home that was not heated on the outskirts of town and how the cold came in the cracks around the windows and even the snowflakes.
00:23:36
And I was reminded how in our little family home in Idaho with seven kids how it could be quite cold in the winter and when the oil fuel ran out at the end of the month my parents would use the rest of the paycheck on food not fuel oil the heat the house.
00:23:55
So that sparked that memory.
00:23:57
My mom would open the oven door even when something wasn't baking.
00:24:02
It turned it on just to have a little heat coming in the kitchen.
00:24:05
So that's where we gathered too.
00:24:07
In our kitchen my mom was always trying to help by serving the food to us and didn't sit down all the time with the rest of us because she was bringing this and that thing from the stove.
00:24:21
Well since she was serving I got to think and maybe I could get her to be like the magic genie and bring stuff if I was making a peanut butter sandwich I'd say oh don't we have some peanut butter?
00:24:34
And certainly the peanut butter would appear and once the peanut butter came I'd say oh this sandwich would sure taste better with some honey and the honey jar would appear.
00:24:45
You were sneaky to get her to serve you even more right?
00:24:50
Yeah.
00:24:51
Well Dawn telling you about the far Micah table they had I remember we had a far Micah table it was a kind of a plastic top table with a hollow metal legs and but we didn't eat around our table it was too small for our large family it was stuck in the corner and my mom put cooking stuff on it but we had a large rectangle table and underneath you could feel the boards where the extra leaf was kept and so that's where I snuck the food that I didn't want or they got too cold.
00:25:25
I didn't put peas and carrots down the far Micah legs like Donald.
00:25:29
Oh and you remember did your parents say to you don't waste food just think of the starving children in China?
00:25:37
Yeah they used that line it was it was kind of a way to make you feel thankful but really it was it was a major guilt trip to to eat the food that was there.
00:25:47
A lot of memories that came back from that story.
00:25:50
Thanks Donald Davis.
00:25:51
Yes it was great.
00:25:56
That was Annie and Dan Eastmond with reflections on peas and carrots a story from Donald Davis.
00:26:07
I love that Donald Davis story too.
00:26:10
