The COVID actually did take Ryan out of E-ville forever, and a very enlarged heart—weighing in at 500 grams. The average man’s heart should be no larger than 300 grams. So actually, steroids took our only brother at 48 years young. Tiffany and Kim, his older and younger sisters, talk it out—a year later! We needed a year to grieve, and we’ve obviously done that now. One final closure episode to go, and Beaten will be a book about Ryan’s life and death. This podcast is that book outline—The second memoir of a trilogy set: Starved, Beaten and Frozen. Blessings upon us all, each and everyone—exce ..read more

Who gets two obituaries? Ryan “The Hybrid” Henderson does—That’s what happens when you have five sisters left to grieve their only brother’s passing. Two sisters and three half sisters, and only Tiff and I actually have a relationship. The trail of grieving lovers and ex-lovers added a whole other level of crazy female drama and toxic chaos. This episode includes my first guest caller, big sister Tiffany who lives in TX. She was a co-writer of obituary number one along with Ben her husband who is an attorney; and we are all equally hurt and insulted by obituary number two replacing our unique ..read more

“Ganga$ta-a$$ Cou$in Little Jake”

A long and insightful conversation with our Cousin Jake Justice who still lives in our hometown of Lubbock, TX. The home of Buddy Holley, Texas Tech and The Texas T’s. Cousin Jake was a substitute little brother for Ryan. Ryan loved Jake, and Jake idolized Ryan for his entire life. Ryan taught Jake a lot—both good and bad. Jake is equally as brilliant as Ryan, just not as “gangsta’”. I’m so thankful he was willing to share so vulnerably, and is so articulate. He feels strongly about Covid and Ryan. I just adore “Little Jake”, who is not so little anymore and now my “substitute brother”. Death ..read more

I don’t usually make it a habit of talking to the police, other than a polite thank you when encountering them out in the local community. The same respect to veterans, greatest respect and appreciation should be observed. I’m thankful for their selfless service to justice and protection. I was raised with an utter distrust of the cops. My stepfather called them “Agents of Satan” and taught us that the are evil. Also another side note, if you are going to record/video a telephone conversations or any conversations with a police officer, tell them up front. I didn’t follow procedure here, so—gl ..read more

Love Like an E-ville B
E-ville

Love like Bridget, Ryan’s year long casual lover and trusted friend. Everyone should be loved like she loved my brother—expecting nothing in return and selflessly showing up in life and death. This was the sweetest and most healing conversation for me. She knows so much that we could have talked for another hour or ten. She “should” have been “The Love of His Life”. She’s a part of the “Hoe Crew Chat” we are conducting on Facebook Messenger that has been solving this mystery as we wait on the toxicology report; and giving each other support with the grieving. The disbelief is starting to wear ..read more

MGK Character Count$

Ryan’s only employee, he called MGK for Machine Gun Kelly—the guy looks like him. His name is Dalton, and he is a mid-20s kid from South Carolina that transplanted to E-ville. He found himself under Ryan’s wing, and Ryan obviously trusted him with the store—which meant he trusted him with much more; from his private life, his “business”dealings, family history and future plans. This conversation only confirmed what others had said but, didn’t want to “talk”/“talk” about. The screen shot proof of stalking and physical abuse of Ryan at the hand of Kathy was passed on by a few people. Dad even sa ..read more

Dirty Book$ & Lawyer$

From what I remember—about 15 years ago, Pito stole 250K from Ryan. When Ryan realize the extent of Dad’s trespassing, he wanted to kill him and understandably so. However, there was to be no legal recourse, since it was dirty money. So Ryan as always, ceased the opportunity to not let my Dad retire, but take over the books of his business that was started by my German immigrant grandmother. With the help of Kathy, Ryan could accomplish his money washing mission by 50. I believe that was his plan, per our first and last conversation in over a decade in October of 2020. I wish I had known he’d ..read more

Mal’$ A$$ault

Melissa or “Mal” as we more accurately call her, is our half sister and daughter of our abuser. She is manipulative enough to get my dad to buy her boobs at 18. Then Mal accuses Pito of sexually harassing her when he asks to see what he paid for—which I am sure Pito did. He’s like that—an old perv. Nevertheless, being the daughter of a Paranoid Schizophrenic Pedophile father, must be scary and conflicting dna lottery to own. Living with that truth and reality must be hell. However, despite all the family dysfunction she has never sought “help” for “her crazy”. She just brings the untreated tox ..read more

Say is a John Mayer song—he is “our musical spirit animal”, along with John Denver. Maybe, they are more like emotional support musicians for Tiff and I. John Denver was actually a Delta Tau Delta in the same chapter at Texas Tech, as Ryan was a brother. They were “Delt Bros” of course not in the same era. Nevertheless, Tiffany and I decided he is our brother too. Now that Ryan and John are both dead. John Mayer is our new “Bro”, by death’s default. Say became Ryan’s death anthem, next to Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangsta’. We have a way of replacing family members for various reasons (and gi ..read more

My E-ville Je$u$

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in E-ville is where I found Fr. Ben, who connected me to a retired Bishop of Illinois. Then finally, I was directed to an incredible priest with an awesome accent, Fr. Scott—who ended up being the actual celebrant for Ryan’s Gangsta’ of Love Memorial, that he never would have wanted. That was all Dad and Allison, making it about them; and then Allison doesn’t even show. Still baffling, and Tiff, Ben and I made it actually happen anyways as Dad and Allison made drama and criticized us. We were cruelly criticized too, and hated on, but that’s what always happens to ..read more
