Welcome to another deeply emotional episode of “Hell Has An Exit” with your host, Bryan Alzate. This week, we’re diving into the past, present, and future with a dear childhood friend, Rene. From the playful banter about Bryan’s name change to the nostalgic memories of growing up in Davie, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be reminded of the power of friendship and resilience.

Rene and Bryan reminisce about their shared history, from sports rivalries to the stark realities of addiction that hit close to home. The two discuss the challenges of growing up, the influence of their tight-knit Hispanic families, and the paths they’ve taken to find themselves again. Rene’s journey, in particular, is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, having faced addiction and come out on the other side stronger and more determined.
