Chapter 1: What inspired Kyle Tekiela to start the Crook County podcast?
Right.
Texting your son who's like done nothing but help you that you're going to fucking kill yourself. Like you're putting that weight on your on Kyle. Like what is wrong with you? And just he just crushed him. It was it was pretty incredible.
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.
C'est la vie. But yeah, no, you're 100% right.
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.
It's so freeing.
Yeah.

Chapter 2: Why did Kyle choose podcasting over filmmaking for Crook County?
But in this corner of the South, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets.
Nobody talks about it. Nobody has any information.
When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo clay, nothing's ever as simple as you think.
The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that.
