• The Day I Sn0rted Cremains Thinking It Was Powdered H3roin | Ep 109

  Louis sits down with Kyle Darby for one of the craziest, rawest, and most brutally honest conversations ever recorded on the pod. Kyle opens up about his chaotic past, from breaking into his dad’s safe as a kid to the night cops stormed into his house and the spiral that followed. He dives into the infamous M3th story, how he once got people strung out without even realizing the long-term damage, and how h3roin and X4nax became his drugs of choice while a dirty doctor kept the prescriptions flowing. Kyle talks about getting high with his dad, cutting his dad’s 80 in half, and the surreal moment he snorted his baby mom’s ex-husband’s ashes—yes, really—which became one of the craziest hooks in podcast history. He breaks down how he accidentally snorted cremains, shares his most intense OD story, and reflects on relapsing after three years of sobriety. This episode is wild, heartbreaking, darkly funny, and ultimately human—an unfiltered look at addiction, family, and the chaos that shaped Kyle’s life. “Snorting Cremains” might be the thumbnail, but the conversation runs much deeper than shock value.

• My Truth: Going Into Labor in a Trap House & My Babies Being Born Addicted | 109

  In this raw and unfiltered interview, Bianca opens up to Louis and Aaron about a life shaped by chaos, survival, and resilience. She begins with the shocking revelation that her father once stole an ATM machine and the moment she discovered he was a crack dealer, a discovery that set the tone for the instability she grew up in. Her own struggles started early—popping bottles of Seroquel, being introduced to crystal meth at just seventeen, and then finding out she was pregnant with twins while still using. The turbulence only intensified when she learned she was pregnant again just two months after giving birth. She shares the heartbreaking reality of her daughter being born addicted, followed by her son’s withdrawal from Subutex, and how losing her father triggered a devastating relapse. After being hospitalized from a bad dose, she spiraled deeper, eventually becoming homeless and meeting Matt, who later vanished after she became pregnant—leaving her to also discover she had contracted STDs. Her story hits a gripping peak as she describes living in a trap house and suddenly going into labor there. Bianca goes on to recount Matt’s wild stories about her and Kendra, the mysterious “purple rocks,” and how she met Josh, eventually giving birth to her daughter amid the chaos. From getting raided to sleeping in a Red Ryder wagon inside a storage unit, her survival became a day-to-day battle. She describes blowing her stimulus check during a hotel bathroom party, drinking heavily and injecting between her toes and fingers, and explains how acquiring needles—sometimes by putting on scrubs to look legitimate—became an addiction of its own. Her story is a spiraling, brutal, and gripping journey through addiction, trauma, and the darkest corners of survival.🔥 Expect emotion. Expect truth.

• Narcaned, Shot, Stabbed… How This F3nt4nyl Addict Finally Got Sober | Ep 107

  Louis and Aaron sit across from Joe Haag in a quiet studio, microphones on, the soft hum of the equipment blending into the background as Joe prepares to share the kind of story most people spend their lives trying to hide. But Joe isn’t hiding anymore. For him, honesty has become a lifeline.Joe grew up in a neighborhood where survival came before childhood. The streets were loud, unpredictable, and soaked in the kind of chaos that becomes normal only when you’re too young to know any different. In Joe’s family, alcohol wasn’t just present—it was inherited. Addiction ran through generations like an unbroken thread, and Joe learned early on that everyone coped with pain in their own ways. Unfortunately, the examples he saw were almost all destructive.By the time he reached his teens, drugs and alcohol were part of his daily reality. Not because he wanted to rebel, but because using felt like the only way to quiet the noise inside his head. The fear, the anger, the sadness—substances made all of it disappear, at least for a moment.But fast moments turn into lost years. And for Joe, the spiral was quick.What makes Joe’s story remarkable isn’t the fall—it’s the rise. Somewhere in the chaos, he found the strength to walk into a recovery room and ask for help. That choice changed his entire life. What followed were 13 years of sobriety. Thirteen years of rebuilding trust, repairing relationships, and learning how to live without the crutch he’d relied on for so long. Joe became the kind of person others in recovery looked up to: steady, strong, and proof that long-term sobriety was possible.But addiction is patient. It waits.Joe admits the signs that led up to his relapse were there long before he picked up again. The meetings he stopped going to. The emotions he started stuffing down. The quiet belief that after 13 years, maybe—just maybe—he was “cured.” He wasn’t. No one is. And one moment of vulnerability was all it took for him to slide back into a darkness he thought he’d outgrown.Relapse is heartbreaking, especially after more than a decade of sobriety. But Joe refuses to let shame write the ending to his story. Today, sitting with Louis and Aaron, he has three months clean. Three months of early mornings, honest conversations, hard truths, and painful growth. Three months of fighting—sometimes minute by minute—against a disease that never really goes away.What makes Joe’s story powerful isn’t that it’s perfect. It’s that it’s real. He’s proof that addiction doesn’t discriminate, that recovery isn’t linear, and that no matter how far someone falls, they can get back up.Joe is back on the path, one day at a time—sometimes one breath at a time—doing whatever it takes to reclaim the life he fought so hard to build. And as Louis and Aaron listen, it’s impossible not to feel the strength behind his words. Joe isn’t just surviving anymore.He’s learning to hope again.🔥 Expect emotion. Expect truth.

• How I Went From Prison to Parole Officer | Ep 105

  In this gripping episode, Aaron and Louis sit down with Mike Justice — a man whose life spiraled into chaos before he was even old enough to drive legally, and whose journey from destruction to transformation is nothing short of unbelievable.Mike opens up about getting his first DUI at just sixteen years old, the charges stacking up, and the early signs of a life already slipping out of control. He talks candidly about the passive suicidal thoughts that haunted him as a kid, thoughts that eventually escalated into a shocking moment where he attempted suicide by cop — an event that could have ended everything.What came next only added layers to the chaos. As a teenager, Mike found himself sitting in county jail, and when his mom tried to “rescue” him, she did it in the only dysfunctional way she knew — by driving drunk straight to the jail to break him out. His story keeps building as he recounts walking away from a drunk driving wreck without a scratch, a moment that should have woken him up but only fueled the belief that he was untouchable.Eventually, that mindset landed him in prison, where he received shelf time and had to adapt fast to survive. Mike breaks down the mentality he had on his first day behind bars, the fear he hid, and the tough exterior he believed he needed. But it wasn’t until he met a prison counselor who saw through him — someone who connected deeply with his story — that things began to shift.Mike describes the most powerful moment of his entire life, a turning point that changed the direction of everything that came after. Even with interruptions and setbacks, including moments where filming had to be cut, Mike’s honesty never wavered as he led into his final, emotional message.This episode is raw, intense, and unforgettable. And yes — Mike tells the full story behind the moment he calls:“What Happened When I Tried to Take a Cop’s Gun Out of Its Holster.”You do not want to miss this one.🔥 Expect emotion. Expect truth.
