In this powerful and unfiltered episode, Louis sits down with Kevin Dye for a raw conversation about survival, addiction, crime, loss, and redemption. Kevin opens up about growing up in chaos and being exposed to addiction at a young age, watching his family struggle while trying to find his own identity in an unforgiving environment.The conversation dives deep into Kevin’s relationship with his brother and how addiction ran through their lives, shaping decisions that would follow them for decades. Kevin shares the moment he first crossed the line into using himself, and how quickly that escalated into reckless behavior that put his life and others at risk. From heavy drinking and drug use to dangerous choices behind the wheel, Kevin doesn’t hold back on the reality of how dark things became.Kevin recounts stories from the streets that reveal how he became deeply involved in dealing, navigating dangerous environments, cutting people off, and surviving situations that easily could have ended his life. He talks about discovering new territories, learning how the game worked, and the mindset that allowed him to justify his actions while ignoring the damage being done.One of the most emotional parts of the conversation comes when Kevin reflects on the moment he realized he had a serious problem, and how meeting his future wife while she was still living on the streets became a turning point in his life. He explains how he tried to restart, convincing himself he could change the rules by selling to the trap instead of the user, and the false sense of control that came with that thinking.Kevin also speaks on the reality of the drug world at higher levels, including the danger faced by kilo dealers and the violence tied to cartel involvement. With shocking honesty, he breaks down how he became known for his cooking skills, earning a reputation that brought both money and attention, but also intensified the risk and consequences.The episode continues with stories of riding dirty, constantly looking over his shoulder, and eventually reaching the breaking point that led him toward recovery. Kevin shares deeply personal moments, including being confronted by his son, finding his brother in devastating conditions, and the chain reaction of events that caused everything in his life to collapse.This is not a glorified story of crime or drugs. It is a cautionary, human account of how addiction can consume generations, destroy families, and convince people they are in control when they are not. Kevin’s honesty sheds light on the long road to accountability, recovery, and rebuilding a life from the ground up.A must-watch conversation about consequences, survival, and the possibility of change when everything seems lost.
