Laura

Hey, Troy. Yeah, it's me, Nurse Ratched. How you doing? How you feeling?

What was she doing with the water? I'm sorry. I was in charge of bringing water on the hike, and I got a smoothie instead. What?

I drank my smoothie and then it was like so yummy that I wound up drinking Troy's smoothie too because I figured there was an easy hike and we'd be down the mountain pretty quickly and then I could just get water when we got to the bottom. No big deal.

I'm not, like, the best outdoorsman or outdoorswoman or whatever you call it. I'm not a lumberjack. I'm not a medic. Like, I did what came to mind in the spur of the moment. And also, like, some Ubers do have four-wheel drive, so, like, that part's not on me.

We weren't traversing Mount Everest. We were just going on a little simple hike. I didn't think it was a big deal.

I mean, we can, like, go to the city and, like, rent a scooter. I'm pretty sure both of us can fit on it. Yeah.

And I'll bring my tourniquet.

Thank you.

His name's Troy.

Okay, so I met this guy, Troy. I was kind of like on the down low for a little while, and I was like, all right, I'm going to try this again.

From the Nobu coupon guy, yeah.

Yeah. And I like his profile because it shows him being, like, super active. He's, like, into swimming and other activities, hiking and things like that, and that's really important for me.

No, it's just, like, the activity stuff and, you know, his body.

It was like a mutual thing. We just kind of had good conversation and talked about working out. Nice. So I found this thing online and it was the most incredible view and the perfect selfie spot.

Of course. Because what girl doesn't want to look like a professional hiker standing on a rock?

Duh. So he was super down and we had a really nice hike and the pictures came out amazing. Okay. Troy is like the best IG, I don't want to say IG boyfriend because we're not like together, but like standard wise, he'd be like the perfect IG boyfriend. Like he takes really good pictures. Okay.

Yeah, we did some selfies and then we took pics of each other and we got some really good shots.

Okay, so this is the fun part. On the way down, Troy slips, falls down, and sprains his ankle.

So basically he can't walk down the mountain and he's obviously too heavy for me to carry him back down the mountain. So I didn't know what to do. I kind of had a little meltdown and I was like, all right, let me see if my phone actually has service and I can call somebody to get help.

No, no, it was super quiet.

I tried reaching out to a lot of people, like friends, emergency services. I mean, basically anyone who could like help get him down the mountain.

Eventually medics showed up and came and helped.

But the good news is on that avenue that it wasn't like the perfect end to a perfect date, but at least we got to like sit and chat and we had a ton of really intimate talk time.

I don't think so. I mean, we were talking about all different topics, like a lot of gym talk, you know, just experience in the gym and what kind of different activities we like and a little bit about family stuff. And, I mean, we weren't talking about, like, getting married and having kids, if that's what you mean.

No. I was talking to the medics, but I mean, hopefully he didn't take it as me hitting on them.

Well, I mean, the first three quarters were amazing.

I don't think he's like a big baby. He got hurt. Come on.

Thanks, you guys.

You talked about initially gathering these stories and interviewing your dad with the intention of this being a family archive, not something public. Can you talk a little bit about that process of when you actually first started interviewing him and what that looked like?

And then if that shifted as you decided this was going to become something for the public rather than just for your own family's kind of internal processing?

What was that like?

Has the process of doing this show, recording these interviews, reaching out to your family and extended community, has it shifted how your family operates?

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Inside Crick County, your exclusive backstage pass to the show. Today, I'm sitting down with Kyle Tequila, the creator and host of Crick County, to dig a little deeper into his process of turning a personal life story into a top 10 podcast. Before we get started, this interview is full of spoilers.

That's so beautiful. That's really cool. Are you still the only one in touch with your dad or has anybody else made contact with him?

Yeah.

Seriously?

So if you haven't listened to the show yet, I recommend that you pause, go binge the entire season on Tender Fit Plus, and then pop back in. Hey, Kyle. Thanks for sitting down with me today.

Wow.

That is kind of the opposite action I would expect someone to take if they heard their dad was feeling suicidal. He's like, I'm going to let him have it because in case he goes, I have to get this off my chest kind of thing.

Life, it sounds like. Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

I mean, the thing that comes through in the show from both you and your brother and your mom is the fact that there's still so much love there. And I think that's what that is. It's like, if you are angry, you still care. If your brother didn't love your dad still, despite everything, he wouldn't have cared. He'd have seen that text and not, you know, bothered.

I mean, it's really so vulnerable to put this out into the world. But I think a lot of people live with these huge secrets and these weights that sit on their shoulders. Like you were saying, everyone feels lighter, even though it's been really painful and really messy.

And y'all's way of processing it, you know, is not necessarily what like a textbook therapist would be like, this is the proper way to process these sorts of things, you know, but it works for you guys. And it's created a lot of healing.

And I think it's really cool to share that so publicly because it has the potential to really connect with a lot of other people that are in similarly messy situations that might feel like their past forgiveness, like your dad, I imagine does, you know, and Anyway, I just think it's very courageous to share stuff that's this intense and personal, really.

Yeah.

I'm really excited to connect. And, you know, this show is so personal to you that I feel like I already kind of have a sense of who you are, as do, I imagine, everybody else that's listened, especially on Tenderfoot Plus, where we just get to binge the entire story in silence. 24 hours, which is what I did.

Yeah.

And it's amazing that it sounds like you've been met with a lot of compassion rather than vitriol, which is wonderful.

So who helped you with the show? You basically already covered that you just did this on your own mostly, but you did work with Tenderfoot. Can you talk a little bit about that process of building a team and who you worked with and how you worked with other people on this?

Wow. That is very intense. Very lonely.

Has your dad listened to the show?

Okay. Okay.

It's really engaging, you know, and I'm excited.

So you're a film producer and you have a lot of other creative outlets, not necessarily podcasting. So why did you decide to create this show as a podcast and not as a film?

I think it's really interesting. I don't remember what episode it is that you mentioned this, but he talks about how he never shared his story in A.A., You know, like he wasn't comfortable in that setting sharing these things. And now that same person is confronting the fact that millions of people are hearing his story.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose that's what it is. It's just interesting. It sort of fits with the picture you paint of your dad of this like life of extremes, you know.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Some people whose brains are very different and they get pushed into these very like dark places. But a lot of people who end up committing crimes are kind of, I think, in situations more like your dad where it's less their choice than externally people perceive it is.

So at the end of the season, you have this kind of call to action for listeners to reach out to you with questions and comments. And you've touched a little bit on some of the things you've heard from people. But is there anything that you've heard from folks so far that's really impacted you that you want to share with everybody?

we didn't talk about that, but that whole trajectory, I think that's part of why, you know, folks are reaching out and saying your dad was a good, a good guy, clearly loved you because he's so obviously was trying to do better. You know, the fact that he wanted to be a firefighter, it's like such a complete balancing effect for what he's doing. You know, it's like hit man.

And then you save lives and like, that is the goal. And so it's, it's so clear that he, yeah, wanted to do better. And, um, I mean, it's a great show. So where can people get in touch with you to stay updated about all this that's coming next? Maybe send you a story potentially if they have something that could fit.

I don't know if that's something that you're looking for, but what do you suggest people do if they want to stay in touch with you in the show?

Awesome. Thank you so much, Kyle. This was really fun. I really appreciate your time. And I'm excited to share this with everyone on TenderFit+.

Yeah.

Absolutely. And I mean, the fact that the show, the actual production, once you got into the weeds of building each episode and then producing each episode, the fact that that took about a year makes a lot of sense to me because it is a very highly produced in a good way show. You know, there's so many elements to it. There's so many sound clips that you pull in from news and like it really.

Brings people into the world that you grew up in and that your dad was living in. And I think, you know, if you'd put a show together in three months, it obviously would not have had nearly as many layers or depth. So, yeah, that time really shows.

Yeah.

Another creative outlet that you have in the show is your music. I think it's a really awesome Easter egg for listeners. I didn't realize initially that that was your band that was in the soundtrack. Can you talk a little bit about Starry Eyes' music and the songs that you featured in Crook County and how that all fits into the show?

But it's glorified.

So note to anyone who's dealing with really tough family stories, make a podcast, publish it to millions of people and you'll feel better. And write an album. And write an album. Yeah, music is a really incredible way to process anything.

Is there anywhere that people can go and just listen to these songs a little more in depth since we get clips of them in the show, but we don't really get the full start to finish song?

Quick plug. And the band is called Starry Eyes.

Great.

Mm-hmm.

Clearest picture.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll get right into it.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

What's her brain thinking? Ew. Ew.

Thank you for the translation.

What the? Okay. All right.

There goes my Friday plans.

Andrew, gross. Gross. Honey, Japan's off the menu.

Josh, move over so I can see your face. Sure people got, sure people got no reason to live.

Sushi!

What?

Orpening? I like that better. They are orpening partners.

Yeah, it's fine.

Good? Yeah.

How's that go? I have no idea.

Very good, guys. Very good. It is very good, guys. I loved it. You sing like bear. You sing like very pretty bear.

You sing like very short pretty bear. Will you marry me? Will you be wife a prisoner? Please. I beg of you. I asked your father. He said no. Your father no more. Your father. Now be my wife. Your father dead.

Oh my gosh. Don't like that person at all.

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

There appear to be multiple violations that have taken place here. One is information has been provided to investors that appears to be misleading. Another is they appear to be in violation of fair housing laws.

Also, we found that, you know, they talk about doing all this building, but they don't have any building permits to actually do any building, and they have challenges even getting those building permits. Believe this or not, we've even received information that they may have been conducting a funeral home without legal authority.

Bottom line, Laura, is that there are so many questions arose, especially information that we received, that led us to need to call the elite Texas Rangers to conduct a criminal investigation to find out if criminal laws in Texas have been violated.

So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice, because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America.

Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the U.S. population. 5G speeds not available in all areas.

He's three, and then I have one due in March.

Yes. Well, my brother brought his brand-new custom mascot head, I don't even know what to call it, to Christmas dinner, and he came out as a furry to us. So since Christmas, he's made many social media posts and now going out in public in his costume. costume and how he has always been one. And while my son didn't see him in his

mascot outfit i don't know how to navigate it when he does because my son loves all things sports mascots disney characters and we know that as adults they're just people in costumes but i'm afraid my son being around my brother in his furry costume will like discourage that magic that's associated with them yeah he's he's getting there you're overthinking it he's getting there am i yeah yeah yeah

Yes.

Yes. He's always been an outcast.

Right. Right. I don't know. It's some sort of dog cat thing. It is what it is.

Right, right.

Sorry.

Yeah, my brother, his mental illnesses went from depression to bipolar one to just this past year, it's borderline personality disorder.

So I don't even know how to navigate that or if that plays a role into it.

Right.

No, it's just him.

They think it's a social club. Um, they don't know anything about the community or anything. Um, I just know that there's a more nefarious side to it that makes me uncomfortable with it all.

Well, there's a sexual aspect to it. Um, And even if you just search, you know, what is a furry online? Like my son doesn't have, and he won't have unmonitored access to the internet, but even if his friends do and they just search, what is a furry that goes down this huge rabbit hole that is completely inappropriate.

I think I wouldn't, I would never think he's only three.

How do I explain my brother's furry identity to my child in a way that balances both imaginative play with appropriate understanding? He's always been an outcast.

Yeah, that's fair.

Yeah.

It does.

I have.

Yes.

Both and.

Hey, John. My question is, how do I explain my brother's furry identity to my child in a way that balances both imaginative play with appropriate understanding?

Denn nur bei 15% der Menschen, die wegen Mordes gefasst werden, handelt es sich um Frauen. Warum morden Frauen so viel seltener als Männer? Sind es die Umstände oder kommen einige von ihnen schon böse zur Welt? Jeden Mittwoch behandeln wir einen neuen Fall und versuchen, eine Antwort auf diese Fragen zu finden. Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr reinhört.

I know it really well, and I worked on it for the first five years with Dave Kelly, so... I know it really well, but my hamstring went today, so I pulled out at mile five, so I had to trot back. I've got a big race in six weeks, so I thought it was wise to pull out rather than carry on. She's racing in Valencia next, I think, aren't you?

I don't know. I think Valencia's going to be sunnier, so probably Valencia. It's going to be flatter, isn't it? And much flatter, yeah, that's true. Actually, I was doing the 10k until this morning, and then I upgraded to the half. And it was probably a bad idea.

My mum and dad are out on mile one, so I had to get back to them so they didn't think I got lost on the route and let them know I wasn't finishing.

Hi. My husband and I are in a lot of debt from a small business we started, and I need you to guide me how to get out of it, I guess.

Okay, so we're talking, if we're combining personal and business, it's about like $150,000.

Well, I would say all of it because we put in from personal into the business, but just like the credit cards would be like $90,000. Okay, and what's the rest of the...

Yes. Oh, my word. We even opened up personal loans to pay for the credit cards so we can have more space for the credit cards. It's a mess.

Um, I would say there's about seven.

Yes, that's included in the 150.

No, no, we, it's, It took us a while, but we brightened up to close that business. Well, it's still open, but it's not running.

My husband makes about, I would say, $120,000, and I make $80,000. Where does that money come from? We each have jobs. Got it.

Correct.

Well, yeah, we have a mortgage, a car, if that's what you're asking.

I would say we owe like $400,000. So monthly, I paid $3,300 for mortgage. Okay. The car, I paid $700 a month. I think there's like $19,000 left on it. Okay. We have a leased car that's $400 a month. My son's school is $850 a month. Is that private school or is that daycare?

Private school. Okay. How old is he? Four. Okay. Okay. Keep going. Um, my school one is 400.

So our personal loans, his is 1600 a month. Mine is 850 a month.

Mine is about $2,000 and his is about... Oh, no, that's every other week.

So $4,000 for me and about $9,000 for him.

Because I don't want him to learn anything that... Right, but is it pre-K? Yes.

Um,

Yes, I think we bought it at $50,000.

No, you're right.

Hi, thank you for taking my call.

So my husband and I are in credit card debt of about $60,000, and I wanted to know the best way to pay it off. What did you spend the $60,000 on? It's just over years, over years of just... Living on more than you make. Exactly. So we're thinking 54 and 59.

Yes.

Well, we were thinking, do we take out a consolidation loan? Do we transfer them to credit cards with a 0% interest?

No, so I don't know. I don't really know. That's why I need to know.

Okay.

Monthly, it's... Give me a second. About $18,000 a month. It's amazing.

What's eating up $18,000? Well, our credit card bills and no, our mortgage I think is about $3,000. My husband has that information.

So they're all different kind of cards.

I'm not sure. My husband pays the bills. I'm sorry, I didn't have all this information.

Do you have anything saved for retirement? Yes. Well, in our 401ks.

Yes.

And we recently had a sibling conversation because she just keeps asking us all for money. And two of us, two of my siblings kind of just give her whatever she asked for. And then me and one of my other siblings are friends.

not really feeling that and um so we're kind of under this place where it's awkward in our personal relationship where they think we are morally wrong for not agreeing to just give my mom whatever she asked for and so what you're hoping to do here is to find a way that your abusive mother and your enabling brother or two siblings don't make you feel uncomfortable

Right. I can feel that I cannot be objective about this.

270.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can't even imagine how that conversation would go.

Hi, I'm a stay-at-home mom, herbalist, and nutrition coach, but I'm currently not making much money from that. In fact, I'm losing money from the booth spot I'm renting. My husband and I, we have three children together, and our mother-in-law lives with us. We've been in a rental for two years, and I emphasize that because our housing situation was very sad before.

We were living with people on and off, and So my mom-in-law pays a portion towards rent, and we pay a bigger portion, of course, and we pay all the bills. But my husband's old job he just lost paid only around $2,000 a month, and he was the only one working. Almost 100% of our income went to bills, and we were relying on credit cards to do laundry at the laundromat and basic things.

And we're on government assistance. My husband thinks it's better to try to do an online business, but that's not secure. And we have tried online businesses, and... They've generated a few thousand here or there, but not anything close to livable and secure. My husband, he just lost his job recently.

He's scared a lot of jobs won't pay well and thinks it's better to live off of savings in the hopes of starting an online business. He thinks that's how people get rich. And a lot of jobs he's applied to just aren't getting back to him. We live in the ghetto and want to get out. We actually want to homestead. So my question is, how can my husband get a job where he's not underpaid?

How do we get out of this cycle of poverty? And what are your thoughts on this? Like, what mistakes have we made? And what small things can we do today?

Yes, three young kids. Okay.

Yeah.

She stays at home, but she does do cleaning jobs once in a while. So she's not employed. She lives on widow's pension.

I want to say something. I'm really sick of, like, on X. Get off.

Um, 28.

He actually was a supervisor at his last job, but they didn't pay supervisors very well.

Then here's the deal.

Well, no.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking my call. I'm a big-time listener of The Deloney Show.

Yep. Just wanted to ask for some advice. Um, I've been married for two years. My husband and I have a 32 year age difference. Um, how old are you versus him? Um, he's older.

Um, and so, yeah, so yep. He's the older one. Um, 70 and I'm 38. Okay. And when we first were courting, I initiated the idea of a premarital agreement. I guess I was so concerned about what people thought, even though I was already established on my own. And so the agreement was that we were just going to keep every child

Well, yeah, they've said you could just make more lifestyle changes and just come up with money, which we already— Live on one income, have kids.

thing about our finances separating and that's not good and so we about probably about six months ago we kind of had some discussions and arguments and he does contribute however we just did the Dave Ramsey class and he just wants to go through Like all my spending and like my debt, which I don't have any, but he doesn't want to talk about any of his stuff.

No, no. That's only come up when I asked him, like, hey, will you help me with a spending plan? And I really would like to take the Dave Ramsey class. And he's like, yeah, of course. So no, he's not been like, but he has always been, you know, not really wanting to share about his stuff.

I don't. Do you know his net worth?

He's on mine. We live in Colorado in a small town. Whose house? It's mine. I owned it for four years before we got married. Is he paying the mortgage on it too? Now on my bank account.

So the answer to that is he contributes every month. So it could go towards it, but it's not enough for the mortgage payment. What's the mortgage payment? It's $1,632.

It just started to be $1,500. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. That's how I feel.

No, no. The agreement was before we got married that we were going to keep everything separate. But then, like, yes.

Really, there was no actual agreement of how much. He's like, I'll just give my social security, and it's $1,000. And then it came out that it... was not a thousand dollars. It was 16 something.

Yes, and we're going to keep finances separate forever.

Well, no, he got on my account and he began depositing $1,500 every month because I was like, well, yeah, I know it was a lot to take on, you know, me and my four kids. What do you mean four kids?

Yeah, I think that's the rub. I know it makes my siblings' finances harder because

Well, he has recently started contributing, so no. The answer to that is no.

How to talk to him about... Like, I don't think it's right to have the benefits of being married, and me having 100% accountability and... Let me say it this way.

And you can say... I guess I need advice on how to talk to him about it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's just hard to talk to him.

Yeah. Oh, no, for sure. Yeah. Definitely. But he just won't, like, when I bring specific things up to him, he just flat out will ignore it.

He has gone to a couple sessions with me, yes. But he still looks at the whole situation as he came in and rescued me.

He has more debt than me. But he's just like, oh, it's no interest for a year. It's not even debt.

You mean as far as him not addressing things?

Hi, thank you so much for having me on the show.

Yep.

Right now, financial goal is to probably get enough money in savings that we could purchase like an investment property.

Okay, so my question is, do I have a moral obligation to give my mom money when she was abusive to me and my siblings and historically not financially responsible?

Oh, yeah, yeah, because my parents kind of train wrecked their finances. I watched that, and it made me want to go, I'm going to be really responsible. I'm not going to have any debt. I'm going to work hard and live under my means and all of that.

I think it comes from I grew up in a Christian church, and I still am. I still follow Christianity. Okay, so hold on.

Well, I want to do the right thing.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, honor your father and mother. And then there's also a verse in like Matthew 15 where Jesus is telling the Pharisees, you're giving your money to the church, but you won't even help your parents. Yeah. And then the other reason for that moral obligation factor is my two of my siblings really think it is morally our job to give my mom money.

Hello. Hey. Welcome. Thank you. So what's the reality?

Very happy to have you. Thank you for having me.

Yeah. Wasn't it like right after the reunion? Yeah.

All that. For what?

They love you.

I love that.

Your brain, yeah. Yeah.

I know. That was really heartbreaking to watch.

I can't talk about hair, lashes. My hair and our lashes.

Yeah.

Crop tops and Mr. Bean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's go. Here's the 20.

No. That's so funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know. I'm in shock.

Yeah. It's going to be fun.
