In the explosive Season 1 Finale of the Texas Narcos Podcast, Randy sits down with two unlikely allies—Simon, a reformed ex-gang member, and Johnny, a retired narcotics and gang detective. Together, they peel back the curtain on their gritty and dangerous time working undercover in the gang-infested streets of Southern California.

From the first handshake built on distrust to the brotherhood forged in blood, Simon and Johnny recount high-stakes operations, deep cover tactics, near misses, and the blurred lines between loyalty, survival, and justice. They share never-before-heard stories of betrayal, redemption, and how two men from opposite sides of the law ended up fighting the same war—together.

This finale is raw, real, and unforgettable.

You won’t want to miss how Season 1 ends—with a story that proves truth is stranger (and more dangerous) than fiction.
