I was gonna come in and see so many beautiful black

2:52

people. I

2:57

listen. I had no idea.

3:00

Um.

3:02

I thought I was just here with him. I

3:06

thought of the intermingle with these

3:08

guys, really crass

3:11

stuff in

3:13

front of a bunch of erudite, and I have to

3:15

conduct myself different. Huh y,

3:17

I don't want to hear my ship. All

3:20

right, So we're gonna we're gonna be very nice.

3:23

Okay, at least I will attempt.

3:25

But this is recession proved. Mike, tell

3:27

me, tell me about realized

3:30

that recession proved means

3:33

that these are the people who survived

3:36

when the people that didn't survive like

3:39

MIKEY survived like Mike. I survived like

3:42

Mike. So Mike, let's just let's just be clead.

3:44

This is drink chance. We real niggas.

3:46

We're gonna keep it. We're gonna keep it straight to the

3:48

to the point the

3:51

white boys bothering you on the flight ship

3:55

ship. Let's

3:58

just keep it real life. Need to drink. Oh

4:00

yeah, I need to drink. They

4:03

didn't press charges. That was gangster'n

4:05

drink some momjuana. Even though they

4:07

didn't press charges, and

4:10

I was in the right, um,

4:13

from a more re perspectively,

4:15

I shouldn't have touched him. No, Mike, we

4:17

agree that you were right. Sometimes

4:23

like sometimes boundaries its boundaries,

4:26

and sometimes you just gotta tap a nigger sometimes.

4:31

You know. Um, I'm

4:33

a I'm a recovering junkie and alcoholic.

4:36

I do um inventory every night,

4:39

you know. And that wasn't in a good I didn't pass

4:42

that. Well what what Yeah,

4:44

that's just me. I do inventory yourself

4:47

every day. I get dark, I can't get

4:49

really, so inventory gives

4:51

me the light. But

4:53

Mike, but Mike, you're a great person. We've

4:55

seen your struggle, we've seen everything.

4:57

We watched you, and I don't want to be great. I

5:00

know a lot of great people, but they're not good people.

5:05

Said again, please, I want

5:07

to be a good person, not

5:10

just great great, No, as

5:12

great as great as just doing the

5:14

hardest ship in the world with the simple of ease.

5:17

And a lot of people do that, do

5:20

the hardest ship in the world, like

5:22

it's nothing because it's easy

5:24

for them. No, because

5:26

they've been gifts they have that

5:29

makes it easy for them to do that. You know, nothing's

5:31

easy. They have to put in that world. They

5:33

have to dedicate themselves. If

5:36

they don't, the gift won't work. The gift

5:38

only works when you put in that spirit

5:40

of fighting, the will to winds, to

5:43

refuse the loose. Don't

5:46

e reason I fool, don't

5:48

e reason I succeed him? Like because I want to be up

5:50

more than anybody in the world wants me to be down. And

5:55

that's just what it is. And I'm

5:58

just a really competitive I'm really in an animal.

6:00

I like, I'm the kind of guy. He's put

6:02

me coming Moscow, He's put me anywhere, and

6:05

that's what I want to do. I want to compete and see what happened

6:08

with no money in my pocket. Nothing. I'm

6:10

that kind of an animal for

6:12

the sport of it, No, for life.

6:20

That's real, Mike. And at

6:23

one point, Mike, you had a tiger.

6:26

I had quite a few. You had

6:28

a few tigers at one time. How

6:32

does that work? It doesn't work.

6:37

It really doesn't work. How

6:39

long did it work? Until

6:41

they got a certain age around one

6:43

year old? You couldn't sleep with all three of them,

6:46

you know, they literally slept with you

6:49

because you also watched The Hangover. Yeah,

6:51

that the Hangover. They stole your tiger and

6:55

that wasn't my real tiger. That was

6:59

basically anyone knows

7:01

I have the ti I had tigers in the past,

7:03

so they played it off of that. And

7:06

it's very widespread that Mike is really,

7:09

um bizarre. I wasn't spending

7:11

his money and I bought a lot of bizarre things.

7:14

But

7:16

but we like as black

7:18

people that our ancestry

7:20

come from Africa. We like

7:23

that you had a tiger, sir, But

7:27

yeah, I know, but then that has to mean

7:29

our answers from India, like, because

7:32

there's no tigers, he

7:34

took it from

7:36

India. Really yeah,

7:46

right there? France, Frances Um,

7:49

in France, they have a rock

7:51

pagents around

7:53

years old, and and it's

7:55

in France, and at that time France

7:58

wasn't it was connected to Africa's

8:00

because in Frances, no lions,

8:02

and they had a lion painting them a lion without

8:05

the main. For forty years ago, the

8:08

lion didn't have a main.

8:14

Yes, I'm not gonna dee, that's not deep.

8:16

Yes, think of explaining who you

8:18

are. Explain

8:20

your existence to them, explain who

8:22

you are. Hi, my name is DJ

8:25

yf Fan. I'm cubing a Miami guy.

8:27

And and daveson him and

8:29

Dasipau called him the Latin Santa Claus

8:31

and hey, we got

8:34

we got the same white beer. Yeah,

8:36

I don't think no one will call him the Latin Santa Clause.

8:41

Let's go to the black selcous God, damn, we're

8:43

joint voices and so

8:47

on. When you came to see you on you

8:50

came, yes, yes you did. That

8:52

was the one that yes.

8:55

But with one thing Mike told us, and

8:57

you made it clear. You said you do not drink.

9:00

No no, um If I drink, I'm so allergic

9:02

to this ship. Every time I drink, I break on the

9:04

handcuffs and ship. It's crazy.

9:07

He didn't just make it clear, he made it

9:10

deadly clear. Listen,

9:13

ah, man, this is just my dude. And

9:17

plus I,

9:19

um, if I drink this ship, I can't fit my pretty

9:21

clothes. I can't.

9:24

I have to win my prodears can't do it. Man, too

9:26

much sugar. So I have to ask, when

9:30

you were boxing at the highlight of your

9:32

career, Donald Trump, Um,

9:36

what's the other nigga with the Don King?

9:41

Let's y'all sad? Dog?

9:44

Don it goes together? Have

9:47

you have a drink and had a fight

9:52

many of times? Do

9:56

not tell me the boust the Dougars fight. No, many

9:58

times, many times? That fight many

10:01

times. Can you can you remember

10:03

a Pacific fight that you had? Yeah?

10:05

Yeah, yeah, I was. Um,

10:08

I was in Brooklyn. I had to fight. Um.

10:11

I mean, I don't know if somebody was bad and said

10:13

something, and I'm high on cocaine, so

10:15

I'll fight for any of it I could.

10:18

So I started to fight, probably right. And

10:21

did you just say cocaine?

10:25

I'm sorry, I

10:27

just heard that. I'm sorry, you're

10:30

supposed to. Well, it's the first cousin of

10:32

drinking. Okay, it's

10:36

starting with drinking drinks.

10:40

Just that's

10:43

just um. I

10:45

wasn't back then. Why huh,

10:48

I said, you know what I'm saying, Wow, that's just how

10:50

it was. Yeah.

10:53

Oh so I

10:56

please continue because I just watched

10:59

the documentary called Chason

11:01

Tyson. Did you see that documentary? Tell

11:04

me about it first, what happened? It's

11:08

a documentary thirty

11:11

for thirty and

11:14

Vander holy Field. Yes, it's

11:16

about him chasing you his whole career

11:19

to fight him, to fight him his whole

11:21

career. And what's weird is Vander

11:24

holy Field lives in my building at

11:26

this moment. He lives in your building. And

11:29

I can never say the best. I

11:31

can never say nothing good to him. Every time

11:34

I see him up like you know what, just saw Tyson and he just

11:36

be looking at me like what the bug? Like, It's

11:38

just it's just weird. Every time I see

11:40

him, I'll be like, and I saw him this morning and I was like,

11:42

you know, I'm going to anyview Tyson. He just looked at me like

11:45

what the funk? And I'm just like, every

11:47

time I see him, I bring up Tyson and I said,

11:50

this is the weirdest. No,

11:52

no, you confuse that.

11:55

He's very um,

11:57

believe it not, he's very eloquent and very respect

12:00

one. That's

12:02

who he really is. He also looks at me like, let

12:04

me come and look and team, because you

12:08

know what I forgot. I forgot we're New York

12:10

guys. Sorry. I know you're not a New York guy

12:13

at all, But every time

12:15

I say something, I feel

12:17

like I'm representing from a New Yorker, you

12:20

know. And I realized the world kind of hates New

12:22

York. I was gonna say,

12:25

we're what's that? We're in truth

12:27

of New York. People are very in truth of and

12:30

we have and we want them to know that we're tough.

12:32

That's what did anybody say? Oh my cousin New York? All of

12:34

them think they're tough. Yeah, we

12:36

have that bag where they we think we're tough.

12:39

I gotta agree with you, Mike. My partner

12:41

would agree with you too, but he's

12:44

not gonna agree with you tonight. Is

12:46

that? What did that do? Mike Tyson? And

12:49

no one wants to disagree with Mike Tyson? I

12:53

agree, Hey,

12:57

listen, don't make me an idiot, but not into been

13:00

with me? Okay, how's

13:02

cannabis saved your life? I would

13:04

think a hunt I should have been smoking when I was fighting,

13:07

I was drinking like a fighter. Would

13:09

you have been smoking? Honestly, I'm

13:11

in such a better fight. One time I did

13:14

fight. We cannabis. That broke

13:16

the guy's back. I broke the cut,

13:18

busted spling, broke

13:23

the number, and I was

13:25

number. Oh my god, and I

13:28

was I. Hey, listen

13:30

time it

13:33

maybe some children in here, and I don't advise

13:35

you to get high while you're participating in sports.

13:42

A good way pointed, all

13:47

right, I

13:50

might disagree, but I'm not in sports.

13:53

But to be fair, you were doing

13:55

other things at that time before you smoked weed,

13:58

oh, coke, cape afrid, I'm

14:00

a junk would have been

14:02

the more chilled of

14:04

the things he was doing. It was too mild,

14:07

David, I'm too extreme. So

14:09

I either I'm the junkie

14:11

I was from the monk. You're

14:14

one or the other. You're the extreme of each I'm

14:16

not. I'm not balanced person. No way,

14:20

No, I might kill myself.

14:22

I get down ship. Don't

14:25

do that like he talked

14:28

him some right now, don't do that. Like no, By

14:30

the way, this is I'm so appreciative

14:33

of the realness because you just look at him and you're gonna

14:35

tell his

14:38

compound. What was it? What was the

14:40

compound? Oh? I remember it was

14:42

him open up. You gave him the smoke Champs

14:44

thing. He opened it up and

14:47

he gave you the garbage of the smoke

14:49

chap. No, he told me some crazy ship. And he's

14:51

like, what you late? Because I came late that day.

14:54

I want to leave all ready to get then

14:56

out of there because because

14:59

15:03

sho morning this

15:43

morning. I

15:45

15:48

said, that's okay, you're a hater. But look at me now,

15:52

okay, you know

15:54

that's the most beautiful ist thing about Chase in Tyson.

15:56

In case you didn't watch this documentary which I

15:58

watched this this morning. Was

16:02

every single victory you

16:04

admit it, and every single

16:07

loss you admitted the same way.

16:10

But not only do you admit it, you

16:12

actually made fun of yourself.

16:15

You said, every time I look at holy

16:18

Field, we all gotta look back and say

16:21

he beat us. I thought that was

16:23

the most amazing thing ever. I'm

16:29

a great fighter, and

16:31

I'm gonna say, um, holy

16:34

feels a hell of a fighter. God

16:37

damn, you

16:47

gotta kill him to beat them. He won't fucking

16:49

quite, motherfucker.

16:56

Okay, And I gotta

16:59

say something. I gotta I gotta answer

17:02

your wife's question.

17:06

She said this morning. Yeah, dude, that plead.

17:08

Had you been at

17:11

top tip top shape, there's

17:13

no way bust the Ducklas could have beat

17:15

you that night in Japan. Hey,

17:17

I agree, a d but

17:20

I wasn't in tip top shape. And

17:22

that's what it's all about. I

17:25

love this honesty. I'm

17:27

gonna pop me some ace Spain. Man, you're

17:30

not going

17:35

no, why

17:37

is it so fancy looking? That's I either be a drink

17:39

common slater. Okay, So I need you to con

17:42

about that one. Listen.

17:44

This is this used. This

17:47

used to be oldered this used to be owned

17:50

by white people. What

17:54

when you say white people, tell me who? What kind

17:56

of white people? I don't know this?

17:59

Noess

18:03

this company? When jay Z explained

18:06

so this was this is only by white people,

18:10

went and tried to buy Christal. Christal

18:13

was racist. He

18:16

didn't like their racism, so

18:19

he went and he bought this compan When you say

18:21

racism, did they say no, nigga, you can't

18:23

buy this. Did

18:25

they use those exact words, Mike,

18:29

I have no idea if they said no, nigga, you can't buy

18:31

this. Whatever, be honest, Mike. In

18:34

my opinion, that's what they said to jay Z. No

18:36

figure, you cannot buy

18:38

this. So Ja from

18:41

Brooklyn. Yes, he

18:43

said, I can never be told no, and

18:46

he went. He brought a better champagne,

18:49

a more e cuivalent champagne. And

18:52

this caters to my kool

18:54

Aid tendencies. I

18:57

love this champagne really And of

19:00

looking bobble, don't this ship look

19:02

good? Yeah? And

19:04

guess what black people we own this?

19:07

Motherfucker. I

19:12

don't gotta stake, I don't gotta ownership,

19:15

but you know what, I'm gonna promote this and I'm gonna represent

19:17

it like it's mind, because that's what we should

19:19

do with all our products as black people, not

19:27

as just black people, but as hip hop

19:29

people. When Mike

19:31

Tyson I had I had something,

19:33

I forget what it was called. Was called um

19:36

I had your ear ate

19:41

them sits like it was a Vanda's ear for real.

19:44

You can't keep no.

19:47

I'm gonna we're gonna try to buy um do

19:50

a million and see what happened. Try to get a million

19:53

and put him on the shelf and see what happened. Because we

19:55

can't keep fifty wiped

19:58

out for the week it over. Well,

20:01

Mike, we're gonna eat them airs up. I

20:06

have a problem with that. They're too strong. They're

20:08

too strong. How it's

20:11

not micro doc no, a little almost

20:14

micro believe in microe.

20:18

No. You gotta do it all or nothing.

20:20

You gotta do it all to get it all. He's

20:24

got me macro mushroom right now. By

20:27

the way, this is his first time taking

20:29

a mushroom. You need more because

20:34

you didn't take the amount you is supposed

20:36

to think. You bitched out a little. By

20:41

the way. We're on the plane. By

20:44

the way, we're loud as hell. I don't know

20:46

why me and you as loud as hell. But

20:49

then you say I'm on mushrooms

20:51

because we're Latin. You know, that's that's pretty

20:53

very that's pretty ray. I'm

20:55

Cubing, But Spanish

20:58

people were just loudest. That's where

21:00

they talk about us when we're not. What

21:02

do they say about black people? Are we allowed to listen?

21:06

I think no, we're not allowed though we're whispering

21:09

compared to Cuban's motherfuck,

21:14

we're right there. Cuban

21:16

people was allowed of people in the world. No, I think that that that.

21:19

I think they're fighting. That's what every

21:21

many things, right, I'm right, I think

21:23

they're fighting. They're talking about the game. Lady

21:27

still isn't she's not a Cuban and she's still

21:29

not used to it. She thinks I'm always arguing these

21:31

time with these two got the stuff to I have to walk

21:33

away because they look like they know they

21:37

told you a little time. They

21:40

talk about the horse, but

21:44

it's a tom conversation. Nigga's

21:48

old days. Now

21:50

two of the most uh

21:54

boxing places in the world one

21:57

Cuba and Cat Skills

22:01

New York Well Custom

22:03

Model. Listen, I

22:06

don't know that the boxing that's the boxing

22:08

capital is a really small town. But

22:10

they produced the greatest fighter because

22:13

I know my ship thinking. But

22:22

how would have been Tyson different had

22:24

custom model been Cuban? Yeah,

22:32

dad, that's cool. But you know, um,

22:36

fighting is about spirit. If

22:38

he has the same um, if

22:41

he has the same discipline to ignite my spirit,

22:44

yeah he could be successful. Has nothing

22:46

to do with racing. But does he? Does he? Your

22:49

criteria meets his. That's why

22:51

if you have the same criteria, it

22:53

works. Let's grab my blood please, Yeah,

22:57

soul? How you think

23:00

anybody with the willow, the wild and wind

23:02

and desire not to lose will succeed.

23:05

They're gonna be a nice to me, They're gonna be a nice person,

23:08

but they will succeed if they refuse to

23:10

give up. If. Um,

23:13

if success more important than your happiness,

23:16

you make the choice which when you want so

23:19

you're sacrificing something, you

23:22

make the choice. This

23:25

is beautiful. Now. I once saw

23:28

you. You're doing an interview,

23:31

and you have all your belts, and

23:33

you look at every one of your belts and you don't

23:35

want the floor. You say, this

23:38

is what I used to think

23:42

was my prize possessions. And

23:44

then the interview a guy says to you, but

23:46

what is your prize possessions? Now? And

23:49

you know what? You say? A fool? What

23:52

do you say? My baby is your kids?

23:55

Yea, god damn, I'm

24:00

almost crying right now. Well

24:03

no, I say that because my

24:05

kids didn't always like me. Oh

24:08

no, I was, I was. I was not

24:10

saying right here, right now. It's my son right here, he works.

24:12

Oh do you like me? This morning? I worked

24:14

him more? We go to if you like tyson?

24:17

What's your grass? Up? And here? When

24:19

we when we um, when

24:22

we see our kids, um, we

24:24

see you know what we've been hiding all our life

24:29

from them or from herself. No,

24:33

no, um, we see

24:35

our flaws in them that we've been hiding

24:37

all our life. They

24:40

come out of our children, and our children embrace it,

24:44

and we're afraid of it. You

24:48

know, our time is

24:51

almost up by expiration data is almost

24:53

over. They have to understand.

24:55

These kids are different than we are, almost

24:57

a different species of human being. My kids,

25:00

they're smarter than I ever been. At ten, at thirteen,

25:04

I'm like an old model. Now all

25:07

the new model. That's

25:11

beautiful, No beautiful, fuck

25:13

up. Transition

25:17

is beautiful. But

25:27

you know what, Mike, No, no, no,

25:29

no, you don't want Mike, because I'm gonna be honest,

25:32

be honest. You've been lying. Are

25:36

you gonna start? I'm

25:38

gonna tell you something that shocked the world

25:43

because we all identify

25:47

well being black, and being black

25:49

is sometimes

25:53

one of the hardest things to be. It's one of

25:55

the beautifulest things to be. But

25:58

it's it's it's it's hard at time, and

26:00

then when you're black and

26:03

then you're gay, m'd

26:05

be even harder. And

26:08

it was one time you have Booty on

26:12

your show and

26:15

you so eloquently asked Boosey,

26:19

am I saying his name right, Booty? And

26:23

you said, are you gay? Let

26:28

me do we clear? Mike? Well put it into

26:30

context. It was there was a conversation anybody

26:32

could ask you, are you gay? When

26:36

Mike Tyson asked you are you gay?

26:40

It's a totally different. We

26:44

are what we hate, We

26:46

are what we hate, We are

26:49

what we hate me I

26:56

do mean plu, that's just what it is. Yeah,

27:00

that's just what it is. Okay,

27:03

Yeah, that's

27:06

sorry. You gave me a drinking ship. I don't know if

27:08

you tell him you shut up or that you

27:12

no no, but but but fail that fact

27:15

I'm a fact, but there was nobody to know because

27:22

because we all, we all love

27:24

Boosey, we all identified with Booty,

27:27

we all. But when you said that

27:29

to Boosey, and Boosey looked at

27:31

you, and you looked at Booty, we all knew Booty

27:34

not gonna win this one. No,

27:37

no, he wasn't gonna win. Um. See,

27:40

you didn't see you,

27:42

only some of me and him talking. I

27:45

have a transdaughter. She

27:47

lives in um New York City.

27:50

She got on the plane from New York flight.

27:52

Oh, I had no idea. I don't even she

27:54

never even sees me or talk to So

27:57

she comes and then she just comes

27:59

in my my booth of my show

28:02

like she's some fucking and she

28:04

told her that you got Boost. No I

28:07

never told her that. No,

28:10

she flew that. They came

28:12

in right through and said, hey, what are you doing

28:14

here? Hey, chill, chill, And

28:16

she just went to him, Hey, what's your problem with gay

28:19

people? He said to Boost about

28:22

he said something about Dwayne

28:24

Wade's son, right, And so

28:27

I'm saying with it that bad from my daughter

28:29

to come from New York to l

28:31

A to try to kill this guy and checked this

28:33

guy was it that serious? Really?

28:36

Really? Was it that sence I'm talking to my daughter?

28:38

I guess it was. You

28:41

know, I'm trying to talk to this

28:43

man away and where

28:45

he won't say anything because my daughter's right

28:47

there waiting for him to say something. My

28:52

daughter's meanless than me. I

28:56

made a mistake and saying a bit at home

28:58

one day she said, don't ever say stopped

29:00

now? Well, was from crazy? Was

29:05

this when you following the school now?

29:08

My whole family laughed at me. Yeah, when you follow

29:11

the school before? I felt my daughter and be careful

29:13

daddy. And

29:15

then next thing I know, my back I

29:17

had to go to high stool. My um my,

29:19

this all fucked up. I can't walk.

29:22

I had to get operations. But

29:25

your daughter flew in for Booty

29:28

episode first time after that was scary.

29:31

He's really representing the trans and she

29:34

did in a real violent fashion

29:36

and I was just blown away. But

29:43

it was worked out since then that Booty

29:45

didn't said she was my daughter is big

29:47

and strong. She was fucking sit on Bootsy

29:57

mom from my family from the South and

29:59

then from they're the price that big strong

30:02

women they fight men. Women

30:07

in my family fighting men. She

30:12

got real just now almost

30:16

never have anohing. That's

30:19

just a little bit. Okay, we're in Vegas,

30:21

right and I can't

30:23

help think about Park while we're here, and

30:26

I just want to talk about your relationship

30:28

with Park. Great stories. Let's

30:30

just talk about positive stories of part I'm gonna

30:32

tell you about this guy. Right. One

30:37

day we um we had this well, I don't

30:39

know what happened. It was um after

30:41

point. It was just a big party for event and

30:44

30:49

was talking to the security.

30:52

I knew in my life that we're talking about something

30:55

about the business plan we were doing. And then

30:58

the little kids comes up at

31:00

this kid and I'm really young when they get in the club,

31:02

this is a big time col He had another dream because I said,

32:33

32:36

Florence Henderson, if I

32:38

can't even name him, well, he's just so many people

32:40

came to visit me when I was away. Let's just keep

32:43

it real, tyson. Would you have a sex in jail?

32:46

Yes, I was. You was yes,

32:49

no, um teacher, teacher.

32:54

You know I had to go to school to get my g

32:56

D. Hello the teacher. Let's

32:58

make some case. Don't

33:06

no indication. I felt the

33:08

g D twag that made me double dumb.

33:12

Something cooking out of the holy

33:16

ship. And then listen, no, listen

33:18

to there when I getting

33:20

fixed and she got pregnant. Oh

33:24

my god, I don't know if I want to hear the story.

33:27

It was crazy, man, you want

33:29

you know those people out there, Hey,

33:34

guys, I had actually my school

33:36

teacher in pregnant. She had she got

33:38

pregnant. Weren't you been calling them? Okay, and

33:42

that was happened. No,

33:52

stay in school. Stay it's cool

33:54

because he wasn't school. Yeah, he wasn't

33:57

school, So I'm trying to say, stay in school.

34:01

I didn't want to leave prisons and whatever

34:14

they I was leaving all the hellic hoop, I

34:16

think, fuck no.

34:19

But Mike, let's just be clear. When you left prison,

34:22

you left in a private jet. Yeah,

34:24

you left with anomaly,

34:27

like so many people were outside and

34:29

so many people. But by the

34:31

way, you came in prison

34:34

that way and you left that way.

34:37

There's not a lot of so so as

34:40

artists Tupac,

34:43

they say on

34:45

Tupac's legacy, and it's a lie.

34:49

It's a lie. It's a lie meaning

34:51

what I mean by that is go to jail and

34:53

yourself more records. That is

34:56

not the truth. So

34:59

many fighters try to fother that,

35:03

uh, that blueprint,

35:05

that blueprint that you did, and

35:08

they also failed. Listen,

35:11

um, if

35:13

I may be permitted to say, I just believe that I'm

35:15

on dame by God everything that you are,

35:18

you are, Yeah,

35:21

I would say that wasn't a blueprint that

35:23

you were made for yourself. You

35:25

know. I just I don't believe I'm smartness

35:28

and navigating myself to the position I am.

35:30

Now it's all done to have to be all day.

35:33

It's nowhere I could fucking do it. But

35:39

let's be clear, Mike, let's

35:42

talk about this. I don't think I've ever actually heard

35:45

you actually talk about this, at

35:48

least in this day in time. Dapper

35:52

Dan, what about that? That was my buddy

35:54

of mine? Real good enough? Doesn't

35:57

he? Green? I

35:59

hear the born again Christian. He's

36:01

a born again Christian. That's why I think, Yes,

36:04

he doesn't deserve love, but

36:08

you gave him my eye, Jammie, This big jess

36:12

what At one

36:14

point at Dapper Dan to him

36:17

in the morning, and it was like four or five,

36:19

four or five a m. In the morning. I would like to

36:21

listen. Sometimes when you're married, you don't want

36:23

to go home. Okay,

36:27

I did not know they had anything to do with marriage.

36:29

I'm I'm kind. You don't want to go home,

36:32

so you stay the funk out sometimes, So

36:34

Dapper Dan, you're at Dapper Dan, ms

36:36

Green comes up and he thinks he the baddest.

36:39

That was a big mistake, believe in that. So

36:44

what happens? I forgotten

36:49

you what happened? Life is so dope.

36:52

He forgot when he beat niggers up happen.

36:56

But it was the most famous story in New York

36:58

City because these were are two These

37:03

are two underground

37:07

fishes. Motherfucker's and

37:10

that way, I thought I was a good kid. Let's

37:12

talking about you keep in that city

37:16

or your bad hitty or you didn't

37:18

know how they thought about you, Mike, Because

37:25

let's be clear. Brownsville, Jesus,

37:29

what's up, Charlie? You Okay, Brownsville

37:37

next to best stop when

37:40

you think of New York City. Let me just be clear, that's

37:43

East New York and I used to I used to get my

37:46

my my teeth, I used to get

37:48

my gold fronts done it. I'll be square more.

37:50

And I knew, oh

37:53

you know about scream and

37:56

I knew at some point I might get robbed.

37:58

It just it's gonna happen. That's

38:01

how Brooklyn was back there. Yeah,

38:04

but um, if I um got

38:07

older in life, I've realized this guy

38:09

can kill you. Guys. We can't talk his way out

38:11

of a fucking parking ticket. Sorry,

38:20

it's complex. Yeah,

38:23

anybody can do that. Ship. Have you been to Brooklyn

38:26

recently and just left last the weight?

38:29

Do you know you could get a cream pie in Brooklyn?

38:32

Um? That sounded terrible, but

38:34

it's the truth. It's

38:37

the truth. You get a cheesecake in Brooklyn,

38:39

and not just in Junior's, but you get cream

38:41

pies and cream pies. Okay,

38:45

can you still a shot though, I'm still be shot.

38:49

Yeah, you get a cream pie. But

38:51

if you're going the wrong block, Shik

38:54

is still gonna shoot you. Yeah,

38:58

yeah's gonna fucking shoot. Have

39:03

have you identified with the new Brooklyn?

39:05

Give the new Brooklyn? Have

39:08

you went to Gentrified? Really Gentrified

39:10

Gentrified? You

39:13

know I'm cool. You

39:15

know, I'm cool with being with people that I'm

39:18

set saddles and that several civilizing

39:20

not savages anymore. I would have to go from

39:23

that transition. So it's good to see other

39:25

people go through that transition. And

39:27

you're drinking hold

39:33

as a guy from Brooklyn, right, and I know

39:35

that you you you were Brooklyn

39:38

on your sleeves be

39:40

having that relationship with Park and

39:42

then what happened with Biggie, both

39:45

of them break. How

39:47

did you feel in that turmoil that they had?

39:51

I thought it was ridiculous, and

39:55

that's what it was. It was two people into

39:57

their feelings too much. You couldn't you just say, hey,

39:59

it's over, suck at poof? Did

40:02

you know that yourself at that moment in

40:04

your space that you were in, I

40:07

knew it was gonna end really bad. I

40:10

knew that. I knew it wasn't gonna end nice,

40:13

and it didn't. Because you had a relationship

40:16

with Big. Yeah, I'm Big. I met

40:18

Big one time and he came to my house

40:20

for a party, at a party in my house and

40:23

he had tigers. They were out in

40:25

the back. Yes, and to

40:28

be clear, he liked the house.

40:30

But then he started talking to me, Hey, do you know China

40:32

man? He told me, you know me is to fly pigeons, And

40:35

yeah, that's one of my oldest friends in the world.

40:37

I knew when I was eight years old and Big New

40:39

yr oldest friend in the world. Holy

40:43

MOLDI guacamo. He knew he knew those guys that

40:45

grew up with named Fame and all Ship up the Hill

40:47

Brooklyn. Yeah, you knew all those guys

40:53

and also had a relationship with Shi Night. Yeah,

40:56

I knew all those guys, Show

40:59

the Knight, Big Puffy Yea

41:01

and East Coast West Coast. How the fund

41:04

did Mike Tyson never get caught up in the East

41:06

Coast West Coast beef because it

41:08

is everybody just scared of you. Is that I

41:10

treat people the way I want to be treated has

41:13

nothing to do with here, But

41:19

that's rappers. That was um

41:24

as an East Coast rapper, New York Queens,

41:27

New York. Uh, that was probably

41:30

the worst time of my life. Um,

41:32

going through the East Coast West Coast thing because

41:35

it wasn't a real thing. Wasn't could

41:39

not identify and

41:41

say that it wasn't a real thing. I couldn't

41:43

say that because the two big dogs,

41:46

Tupac and Biggie. And

41:48

when Tupac and Biggie wasn't

41:51

existed no more, it

41:53

was hard to say that this beef that we

41:55

are talking about doesn't exist. It

41:59

really was a blink of my eye. There, not here,

42:01

no more. What

42:04

we're talking about, the mean ship, real

42:09

talk all day, real real

42:12

talk. We all have the expiration day,

42:15

yes, but we still live like we still acted

42:17

if we live forever. Right, That's

42:19

just the way it is. Because I just don't think

42:22

death is bad. And I did all the special

42:24

animal and treat and plant medas, I did

42:27

all them in the world, everything highest,

42:29

the highest, um psychedelics

42:31

in you did Ayawaska told

42:34

Hiawaska is not the highest. You don't

42:36

like Aurawaska. It's over,

42:38

It's ready, Yeah, okay,

42:41

Like no one has never said, Ayawa Watch

42:46

did you're about to die? Right? Did you take it? And your

42:50

ego dies? Ego death things? Yea, ego

42:53

dies, yes, um, And then you're afraid you

42:55

really um, you can't do it in America.

42:57

You got do it like all

43:00

the time, yeah, yea

43:03

yourself till they find

43:05

me. Listen, captain coming before hanging.

43:14

So okay, you

43:16

just see that's not powerful enough

43:18

for me. We just seeing Will Smith. Yeah,

43:21

go on, David Letterman talking about ayahuasca

43:24

that he said,

43:26

that's what he did before he thought about

43:29

slapping Chris Rock. The

43:32

way you put it was not the way before

43:36

I get my funus up. I sucked it. But but

43:39

what I'm saying is it related to

43:41

And what he said was he said he saw

43:43

his money flying

43:46

away from him, he saw his life flying

43:48

away from him. Is that something that you do

43:50

when you do this?

43:53

And um, we

43:55

can do it tomorrow right here tonight. This

43:58

is the the poopart particulate.

44:00

You know, my my brain is um isn't

44:03

sophisticated enough to articulate that that's

44:05

something divine ship that I can't igue.

44:08

Okay, that's just the real deal. And

44:11

Will Smith is um, he's that level

44:14

of life that's really mind boggling

44:16

right now. But no one't even knows that. Yeah,

44:18

don't even know. So

44:21

so let's move on for a second. Mike, one

44:26

of the illest characters we've ever

44:28

seen in boxing. I

44:31

don't think we'll never see another character

44:34

in boxing again like

44:37

this character. It's

44:40

dog King. Listen,

44:45

Oh excuse me, there's

44:47

gonna always be another Mike Tyson

44:50

and Don King. You think God only made

44:52

one of us to exist? No, there's

44:54

only one Mike. No, that's not true.

44:56

There's more to come out. Listen, there's

44:58

more people in Brown Van. Once they learned discipline,

45:01

they can do anything that's suc ceed They're supersede

45:03

me. And

45:07

that's just real talk. I was

45:10

an animal tize until um. I

45:12

feel like it's what discipline was, and

45:14

discipline was doing what you hate to do, but

45:17

doing like you love it consistently.

45:19

How consistently am consistently

45:24

because I'm watching every

45:26

documentary like um, you

45:29

know me me also being privileged

45:31

to have this interview. I watched every

45:33

documentary and I watched the

45:36

ups and downs of you and Don King,

45:38

right, But

45:41

the one thing I always seen was

45:45

Don is a great talker, but

45:48

he also made a lot of money.

45:51

Was it worth the relationship and making

45:54

the money for you or

45:57

him being this eventually

46:01

finding out that this guy is a terrible guy.

46:05

I don't think it's a terrible guy. I think it's an awesome

46:07

guy. I think that he I

46:11

like to keep to myself what I think. Was he

46:13

a guy at the times? Does

46:16

that make any sense they who he is.

46:19

It's just what it is. He's who he is. Like

46:21

me, I'm not my love, my loving it

46:24

anything. I'm just Mike. I

46:26

got to you know, I have the perception of

46:28

being a violent person, but I'm not. It's

46:32

just some nicest perception. Doesn't

46:38

more we can say he got damn it's beautiful. I'm

46:43

because I watched every documentary and

46:46

I want to tell you Tyson's face to

46:49

face man and man, not

46:52

just only as a black man, that's only

46:54

as a New York man. That's only

46:57

as a person who went

47:01

through everything that everyone

47:03

always doubted me from my whole

47:06

life. I identify. I relate

47:08

to you in the beautifullest way and

47:11

I want to tell you thank you. And

47:15

I feel like everyone here wants to tell you thank

47:18

you. And I feel like, yeah,

47:20

I feel like everyone here wants to tell you thank you. I'm

47:26

gonna tell you why. And

47:28

I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why

47:31

because it's not just because you got smoking

47:33

blunt fan joint of me. Come

47:38

back to let

47:41

me know. That's that's that's that's organic

47:43

though what can happen. Yes, you can have a blunt

47:46

yes, but let

47:48

me let me feelish bigging you up though, Tyson,

47:51

give me just your flowers because

47:53

you know why, Tyson, I'm gonna tell you something.

47:55

This is a blunt Yeah, smoke

47:59

real bad, but you

48:01

got guns. But let me just

48:04

tell you why. I feel like every appreciate

48:06

person in this audience has

48:08

faced the same diversity

48:11

that you faced. They

48:14

might have not been able to get

48:17

over it in the way you have done, but

48:20

they will. And

48:27

I feel like that's

48:29

what being a heavy right champion is

48:33

is knowing that we can never

48:36

reach your level, but

48:38

thinking that we can. No,

48:41

that's not how it goes. You can

48:43

always reach you my level, you know, Um, my

48:46

level is listen, Um,

48:49

I don't know who I am right now. If I know who

48:51

I am right now at this stage in my life,

48:54

my thinking would be pretty little, pretty

48:56

limited. I don't know who I'm gonna still

48:58

growing as a person, No, I don't know my thinking

49:00

is growing. I don't know who I'm going to be with a Femini

49:02

five eight, I'm

49:05

not gonna be the person I am now. It's

49:08

just that we have to prepare for our exploration

49:11

day and the objective of doing

49:14

ayawas good for people who

49:16

are afraid of dying, and then told

49:18

that's what the plant medicine and the animal

49:20

medicine is for, preparing us to go

49:22

to death with dignity, not for growth.

49:24

You don't think that's for growth. Death

49:26

is growth or

49:32

the end for growth or the beginning

49:34

of it at the beginning, we don't know. And

49:39

this is why I love man his flowers. Bro Let's

49:41

give him his flowers. Let man,

49:43

let's all

49:46

shows literally flowers.

49:50

So we want to give your flowers, live

49:52

and direct, face to face. Thank

50:01

you, thank you, thank you. As

50:05

you know, um, I guess

50:07

you wouldn't know the lingo because you've got the

50:09

really heavy drinker. But when you especially

50:12

at flower to give me after you're talking about Canada,

50:16

were baby,

50:27

were all fide? Listen, listen, listen. I'm

50:29

gonna be honest, Mike. We

50:34

will never have the

50:37

greatest heavyweight champion.

50:40

But let's just be clear, because I feel like you,

50:42

you humble, you was about to stop me, but

50:47

we will never have the greatest heavyweight human

50:50

being that

50:52

you have become ever

50:55

again, because thank

50:57

you. I'm gonna tell

50:59

you why we

51:02

got a group chat when

51:05

every motherfucking black media

51:08

motherfucker in the world. And

51:11

I like to critique the motherfucker's I'd

51:13

like to sit on them. And when

51:16

that incident happened, every

51:19

single person said, Mike

51:23

has to be cleared, and

51:26

it wasn't. Mike has to be cleared because

51:29

Mike is

51:32

this. It was Mike has

51:34

cured himself. Next

51:38

time Mike touched somebody, he might get killed.

51:43

That's got scary. That's the real deal. But

51:50

Mike, let's just be clear. That's just love

51:52

each other. That's

51:55

what this is about, Mike. But

52:00

Mike, this is about let

52:02

me just tell you something. My wife here a

52:04

proof everything that just happened doesn't exist

52:06

anymore. But let me let me say

52:08

something like, I'm gonna be honest, and I'll be like,

52:11

because I know I'm probably old, I'm

52:13

old, tell me about old. I'm

52:16

forty four, you really, I'm I'm You're

52:18

ten years younger than me, and listen,

52:20

and why do you feel old? Whiteld But let me just be

52:22

clear, let me just tell you why, because

52:26

Mike, not not not not why I feel old. But

52:28

let me just tell you why. I love you.

52:31

No, no, no, I want to talk about old. I

52:35

can't get back to but no,

52:37

No, let me just say something. Some

52:39

of the best times in my life is

52:43

watching Michael Jordan's Beat

52:46

the Knicks, which I hated because

52:48

I'm from New York City, and

52:51

watching Mike Tyson knocking

52:53

out in thirteen seconds. Well, Michael, Michael

52:57

joan from New York originally,

53:00

Yes, Michael Jordan is from New

53:02

York Hospital.

53:06

Born in the same hospital. Bike League too. Spike

53:09

Lee Man Big unborn in the same

53:11

day at the same time my mother.

53:14

Manically they had the babies the same

53:16

moment they were together. Yeah, happen

53:20

in the New York

53:26

That's real, That's

53:28

where. But I'm gonna be honest, Mike. My

53:31

father, my

53:34

father was a boxer. My

53:37

father was a boxer. I used to we

53:39

used to box in a gym called the Lost

53:41

Battalion. I was never good

53:44

in Queen's Yes and Queens

53:46

motherfucker And

53:49

guess what Ivant. We

53:53

used to hear about legendary

53:58

figure sick Chick. Thank

54:01

God Man custom

54:03

Model was

54:07

a frequent person that came there. My

54:10

father loved Customer when

54:13

they spoke about this guy. And

54:17

what's crazy about Mike still

54:20

to this day, because you're

54:22

a beast in the ring, You're

54:24

a gentleman in real line, I'd

54:27

like to believe that you are

54:29

that man. Thank you. A lot of people

54:32

believe you

54:35

know, I have a wife and I have a daughter, and they like keeping

54:37

me him check that I'm a human. I'm realized

54:40

they got you a check, she

54:45

got me in check to us. I'm gonna be honest, Mike.

54:48

Let me ask you this real quick though. What impact

54:50

has hip hop had for you during

54:53

your career in life? Like

54:57

generationally, like as the generations

54:59

of popp in the nineties versus

55:01

now, like what has hip hop done for

55:04

you? The music, the culture? Um,

55:09

hip hop gave me pride because

55:12

um, that's our

55:14

music. No one you know when it first came out,

55:17

it was even my parents. Oh

55:19

that's disgusting. That's disgusting.

55:21

Oh my god, you're just gonna go to prison and jail

55:24

stops gonna arrest you. And we're I

55:26

used always after training when

55:29

having a couple of fights, much to one the National's

55:31

I'm young, fourteen fifteen, I always

55:33

come to I come home to see

55:36

visit. I go right to the Latin Quarters. That

55:38

was my spot, Latin Court, Last

55:41

Street. The kid at that point

55:43

he was a kid. Yeah, because

55:45

but when I went to all the kids that I used to hustle, robbed

55:48

what they were there, but I just stopped doing. But

55:51

they're still my friends. So

55:53

that's why I always had that connection. May see me, you

55:55

may see me with certain guys that Mike should

55:58

be that guy. But this guy used to live in my bid together.

56:02

Yeah, so that's that's

56:04

became uh really

56:07

serious. Probably see me hanging out with these weird guys.

56:09

Say who these guys? I said, this

56:11

guy got my sister pregnant. This guy's

56:14

in the same building me and I don't know. I don't

56:16

think they know gangsters. They're not scary than me,

56:19

but I think society thinks

56:21

different. And we talked about

56:23

the tunnel days. I

56:27

get my hype. I'm sorry he got two

56:31

days speed. Oh, that

56:34

was our youth time when

56:36

I when Case laid that and and

56:41

this, I said, that was my I'm

56:44

not gonna lie. You always go. Then he was DJ

56:47

and that in quarters. I used to come. I used

56:49

to beat the little nigger around, but every

56:51

time you came around, I definitely avoided

56:53

you. I was scared for you. I always

56:56

loved you. Though I was famous

56:58

back then, I always was about

57:01

you. Before. You can't know all about all those things.

57:03

Pick me up. You're picking me up there,

57:10

you know, But I used to go. Let me just tell you something.

57:13

It was. It was so beautiful

57:16

to see the heavyweight champion

57:18

of the world in New York

57:20

City. No, I was the hip hop champion. Nigger'm

57:25

no champion in the hips and

57:29

a champion of the champion hip

57:31

hop. Listen, this is the deal. Guys

57:35

like us were never bigger than hip hop boxing

57:38

because that gives us a great platform. I

57:42

just tweeted out, No one's bigger than the culture.

57:45

And that's what I was gonna ask him. I was gonna ask me, did you know

57:47

that although you were an athlete,

57:50

although you were in boxing, did you know

57:52

how hip hop you were? What

57:55

you were for the culture? Yes, I listened

57:57

to the musical day while I'm training before

58:00

I go into bed. It just became who we would.

58:03

Hip Hop created a new species

58:05

of person and

58:07

that person was embodied Mike

58:10

Tyson and him and you don't

58:12

put it on him, and

58:21

that's what I mean around, That's

58:24

what it is. And um it

58:27

created a new species of human being

58:29

that we say all

58:32

the time, we actually say that. I mean

58:35

I'm gonna be honest, Like I'm sorry. I was

58:37

being honest the whole time. No,

58:40

but it's like, you know, doing

58:43

the research and just

58:45

sitting back and saying, damn, we

58:51

had the greatest heavyweight champion

58:53

of all times and

58:56

we still have the greatest heavyweight

58:59

champion of all times. And

59:03

when I say we, I

59:06

do mean New York City, I do mean

59:09

Brooklyn, I do mean Queens, or do mean

59:11

but you know what I also mean. I

59:13

mean hip hop country,

59:19

the world, everything that the country possess

59:21

of America possess hip

59:23

hop, entrepreneurs, businessman,

59:26

billionaires, criminals, and

59:28

you know what I mean. Listen when you

59:30

know I'm gonna say that when hip hop first

59:33

started, when it first started

59:35

in the early eighties, and you look at the top

59:37

twenty hip hop stars, they've

59:40

all been locked up. Now,

59:42

these guys have been in private school. They need

59:44

all these guys, you know, they

59:46

have tuers. No.

59:50

I did three and a half years in jail though, so

59:54

that's yeah. But if you look at the guy that top,

59:56

because you're just sapping. Absolutely, That's why

59:59

I met my soul my. When I leave Sparfit, Mahammaly

1:00:03

came to talk to the kids, and I said, wow, I want to be like

1:00:05

him. When I was twelve, what

1:00:07

uned you was in? You remember three? I

1:00:10

was in D three three. Yeah, you

1:00:12

were the big boys though they three like the older

1:00:16

shooter. Yeah, you're a bad kid. Was

1:00:18

a foul nigga Mike. Yeah, I know, that's why you ain't

1:00:20

dreaming a bad child. I apologize

1:00:23

everybody. Like when I first went to Spot, I was

1:00:25

so scared. Story. And then when I went to the yom

1:00:28

Yo yo dirty dirty, I saw

1:00:31

people, I thought they were death just when you've been

1:00:37

dirty, I said, these guys. So

1:00:39

then once I knew in my own neighborhood, I

1:00:42

kept going and kept going. He

1:00:44

was like, yeah, I kept going, and

1:00:46

then one day I somehow my lay said, wow, I want to

1:00:49

be like camp. As soon as I got transferred to

1:00:51

the next facility, it was a German

1:00:53

named Bobby Studid who used to be an ex professional

1:00:55

fighter, and he started teaching me how to

1:00:57

fight and in prison an

1:01:00

institution, the young kid of

1:01:03

State, and then I introduced you to a gentleman

1:01:06

that's gonna take you to the next level, and that was Custom

1:01:08

Model. It's

1:01:14

such a beautiful story. Every time you hear

1:01:17

about you custom model cat skills,

1:01:20

because um, the

1:01:24

thing about New York is New York.

1:01:26

We're right

1:01:28

here, but then it's

1:01:30

a it's another like little place

1:01:33

that's still New York. It's

1:01:35

the state, New York state that

1:01:39

you could either go to jail there. Well,

1:01:41

listen, that's funny as you said

1:01:43

that three eight five nine w straight

1:01:46

on the Kasaki all

1:01:48

the jail up there on

1:01:51

that road. Yes,

1:01:55

yes, and you chose the train

1:01:58

after I did time. I

1:02:01

told me forgot I

1:02:04

told But how

1:02:08

is that like? How is that period of

1:02:13

because new York at this time is

1:02:18

I'll be square more, taking

1:02:24

this even taking pocketbooks of the story,

1:02:28

budding rest the jury store of time. Jesus,

1:02:31

Mike, my back sounds like right now. So you

1:02:34

know, no, you know New York is bad again,

1:02:37

the country everything you haven't been back. I've

1:02:40

never been treated bad. I

1:02:42

don't know what's gonna treat Mike Tyson bad. You

1:02:45

know, saying somebody's undrug they don't even know

1:02:48

I'm Mike Tyson. You

1:02:50

know. There reminds me because there was somebody

1:02:54

we see Fortage or somebody

1:02:57

who says, Mike, we love you, and

1:03:00

I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you something. Gud

1:03:03

goes Mike, we love you, and then

1:03:05

he has a gun on them, right, but

1:03:08

he moves out the way. Let

1:03:10

Menna tell you what I did. I called my uncle

1:03:13

wise, uncle was

1:03:15

shout out to my uncle was, and I told my Wise,

1:03:18

I said, your uncle Wise. Those

1:03:20

has been my fans, the same exact

1:03:22

fans for years. If you listen

1:03:25

to my fans, my fans have always

1:03:27

come up to me black. What's They're

1:03:31

mad? Aggressive and

1:03:35

if you actually look at their gestures,

1:04:53

with people that wanted to Okay,

1:04:56

so I knew he didn't want to hurt me. He

1:04:58

kept saying, Tyson, you would at Nigga,

1:05:06

1:05:14

Man. That woman nigga want to kill

1:05:17

himself. No,

1:05:21

No, this is famous

1:05:23

clip. I mean, I mean you lived the clip. You

1:05:26

were there our Senior All Show when

1:05:29

you showed love. I think it was Sugar Ray Muhammad

1:05:31

Ali and there

1:05:35

was a third person there, Muhammad

1:05:38

Ali and um what was it, No,

1:05:41

it was he was the one showing love to

1:05:43

them. Yes, like, and

1:05:45

then they asked him Muhammad

1:05:47

Ali fighting. This is the thing. This is the thing,

1:05:50

the idea that that has passed around today,

1:05:53

that clip as an example,

1:05:56

And I just want to say, what is that an example

1:05:58

of to you? Never mind

1:06:00

what we think that it is an example of. What

1:06:02

is an example of to you? What that clip

1:06:05

represents? They're student

1:06:07

giving respect to the master. That's

1:06:13

exactly what I would say, definitely,

1:06:18

And it was so evident and so dope.

1:06:22

You know. Um again, I

1:06:26

want to reierate. No, I want to iterate.

1:06:29

I saw that nigger at twelve, and I'm here talking

1:06:31

to you. What you say I

1:06:33

saw when I'm twelve years old in

1:06:36

my whole life. I'm here talking to you now, rich

1:06:40

and all that ship just looking

1:06:43

at somebody Ali Yeah

1:06:47

if I fucking distance? Wow,

1:06:51

No serious, nigga life,

1:06:57

some divine ship, yeah yeah

1:07:03

nigga. Now, now

1:07:14

we did see the hangover and

1:07:18

the white guy did have them the tattoo.

1:07:21

Yeah you don't like this guy

1:07:23

having the tattoo. No, listen,

1:07:25

I'm listen. That's just part of my

1:07:27

whole whatever you think it was. This change

1:07:29

ship that movie because

1:07:33

by that time, most of the people that I

1:07:36

saw him at the beginning of my career was involved

1:07:38

in my career. It died, so

1:07:41

now different. Um, It's

1:07:43

just it was just a different um time

1:07:46

and a different element of people that never

1:07:48

knew me as a fighter and knew me as a actor

1:07:51

and stuff. And that

1:07:53

was it's pretty humble. And I went to a high school

1:07:56

and the teacher, the

1:07:58

president had a screen. Ain't showing the kids

1:08:01

some of my fight because they never saw any fights. They

1:08:03

thought I was an actor. Yeah,

1:08:07

and that was really humbling. But one of the kids

1:08:09

said, I think my grandfather told me about

1:08:11

you. That

1:08:14

was you wanted to be humble? Oh shit,

1:08:18

ninth grade. Motherfucker's Most

1:08:25

kids don't know. I rapped for neither podcast.

1:08:29

So you gotta make a

1:08:32

Mowanna movie. Bro. Listen,

1:08:34

I'm not gonna lie man re session proof and you've

1:08:36

been sitting here humbly. You

1:08:39

haven't been saying nothing. Little

1:08:47

Yeah, I

1:08:51

talked to us. You ain't getting anything. Not

1:08:53

listen. I'm on here with letters. I'm happy to

1:08:55

be here with

1:08:58

you, with everybody here, man, because

1:09:01

I'm gonna say something one more time. Um,

1:09:05

because our show has always been about giving

1:09:07

people they flowers, and

1:09:10

it will always be about giving people they flowers,

1:09:12

because it takes nothing for me to

1:09:15

give someone else they props. And

1:09:18

I want to say to Recession Proof, I

1:09:22

want to say to Mike, motherfucking

1:09:24

tyson, thank you. How much

1:09:27

we fucking appreciate your

1:09:29

motherfucking ass. Thank

1:09:31

you because

1:09:40

because God love

1:09:54

your momster fan. I'm

1:09:56

a Mafia momster fan. But

1:09:58

when you talk about we're we at right now

1:10:01

and where were sitting at this man

1:10:04

built Las Vegas black

1:10:07

people, we didn't come to Vegas

1:10:13

to see the mob. M We

1:10:16

came to fucking Las Vegas to

1:10:19

see motherfucker was fucking

1:10:23

tankard. And

1:10:26

when you see the sherlans and

1:10:28

you see them big coats, yeah we knew

1:10:31

we was hot. We

1:10:35

were beautiful time, but it was a

1:10:37

fucking beautiful time left

1:10:41

and we lost our money every time because

1:10:43

you knocked niggas out in three seconds. No

1:10:47

one was interesting about losing our money to train

1:10:50

one time to go watch your fight, and

1:10:52

I was like, fuck you

1:10:55

didn't. The nigger couldn't wait for me. That

1:10:59

was just my platform. But that's just like

1:11:03

I was like, damn, Mike, I wish I had

1:11:05

your phone number back then, like,

1:11:07

can you wait like thirteen seconds? I

1:11:11

gotta crush the world at my feet. But

1:11:13

now you're smoking cannabis and chill you

1:11:15

take your time and shrooms and

1:11:18

by the way, that smells, what does that that's

1:11:20

smoked?

1:11:27

You got? Don't go to y'all to

1:11:36

1:11:41

You know how think hot box with Tyson? This

1:11:46

is a lot of fucking calabies, man, cannabis

1:11:48

1:11:53

I'll only drink this ship. I drink this ship

1:11:55

and I drink this When I drank,

1:11:57

I always had to lose fifty pounds before a fire.

1:12:01

I'm a pig. I'm

1:12:03

gonna be honest, Tyson. I want to train

1:12:06

with you, but I'll be seeing that the people who

1:12:08

hold your Boston gloves and they don't look like they're

1:12:10

having a good time. You'd

1:12:14

be surprised how easy it is through your highest

1:12:16

potential, because I would like to

1:12:18

come and spend two months with you train.

1:12:21

Let's do it. We'll feel it. I'm in, but I feel

1:12:23

like I'm I feel like now you can do it. I

1:12:26

believe in. It might not be the best thing

1:12:28

no, it's gonna be the best thing. Yeah,

1:12:31

filing is good. Let's do it right. Everybody's

1:12:37

my wife. I feel like everyone's gonna say, go ahead,

1:12:39

go stay with Tyson. But I feel like Tyson

1:12:42

might be we might be making me eat oatmeal

1:12:44

like a am no oapen meal will

1:12:46

cause you to be fat? No oatmeal

1:12:49

now, so what is the regiment? Because

1:12:51

I feel like you're vegan now, no, I'm

1:12:53

vegan base even meet as well.

1:12:56

You vegan, Well,

1:12:58

how does that work? That's

1:13:02

eating most of my food is you know, vegetables,

1:13:06

um, and then you know

1:13:08

I don't eat any animals I

1:13:11

eat. I might eat a god uh yeah,

1:13:15

bithon okay, animals,

1:13:19

howat I have to have them? The

1:13:21

mean it's meat, hey, but that's that's that's

1:13:23

that's t get Tyson

1:13:26

vegans.

1:13:31

The book were old proof.

1:13:33

We write a new book. But

1:13:38

if you're tig and then that's gonna be the

1:13:41

right success. The new diet to come and beautiful

1:13:44

down one

1:13:48

too. Three, don't

1:13:52

eat it. Don't

1:13:56

do it, man, This hardcore

1:13:59

stuff is my stay.

1:14:04

If eating this

1:14:06

is part of it. I did forty days without

1:14:08

drinking. That's better than not eating.

1:14:11

And it was really nice. Why

1:14:15

did you really like me that much? I'm

1:14:17

listening my best friend the same

1:14:19

way. When he stopped drinking. I didn't like his

1:14:21

personality. What No,

1:14:24

he's very when he drinking, talking mad

1:14:27

ship when he's not drinking, like

1:14:31

the ship talker. Yeah, that's

1:14:33

that's his spirit. I don't want to see him depressed

1:14:36

down and give I

1:14:39

understand that. I think that's drink Champs

1:14:41

encompassed. He pulled my car. Just

1:14:43

that's the drink Champs. He pulled my car. This

1:14:46

guy could like this whole fucking

1:14:48

place that with them licking him. If you don't

1:14:50

have no liquor, you won't know he exists. That's

1:14:53

how my friends Sonny is look

1:14:56

at sunny good sunny today,

1:15:00

not drinking something people

1:15:03

got even Flatbush from

1:15:07

people got from years, people

1:15:13

saying listen, listen, listen.

1:15:16

I was on my I was doing I did a movie with Shaw.

1:15:19

I'm turning. I'm at my trailer right and

1:15:21

I have no idea. I'm talking to my

1:15:23

friend patient Toby and this thing I

1:15:25

got five four and what about what

1:15:31

the fun? My

1:15:36

mom? I ain't me

1:15:41

with my mind. Let me let me ask you

1:15:43

something. But because we've

1:15:46

all been global but

1:15:49

you are heavyweight champion

1:15:51

global of the world, of the world.

1:15:53

What's your favorite country? You you visited

1:15:57

America? Are

1:16:01

you as in that way

1:16:03

though? No, no,

1:16:06

because in this country

1:16:09

you have to suffer for success. They

1:16:12

have to suffer for it. So, um,

1:16:15

that's why I say this is the best country in the world, because

1:16:18

you could be an idiot and come here and work hard and

1:16:20

become a billionaire. You

1:16:23

know, I don't use that word. He

1:16:26

said you could be an idiot and be billion there. That's just

1:16:33

make it. I'm

1:16:36

saying this when

1:16:38

I explained idiot, because um, in

1:16:41

order to be a master first you have to be an idiot,

1:16:44

you know. But I'm not saying the idiot, that's

1:16:46

an idiot. Let's just no, only

1:16:49

an idiot who want to be a master. I'm

1:16:51

sucked up right now. It killed that. Just

1:16:54

just make noise for it. It gives it. M

1:17:00

Let me ask you. Let me ask you because I'm

1:17:03

watching every documentary. I'm watching all your

1:17:05

fights because I wanted to be a good journalist

1:17:08

and one thing that I kept noticing

1:17:10

and I kept seeing was trouble

1:17:13

Plaza, right, And

1:17:15

I'm more fights than anybody.

1:17:18

But he wasn't racist back then there

1:17:23

was he how do you define race? And

1:17:26

how when you say

1:17:28

that a Mexican all Mexicans is racist,

1:17:31

I define that as racism, right

1:17:33

because he said every one of the Mexicans.

1:17:36

And I was offended

1:17:39

of that when he made that statement. I

1:17:41

was offended of him putting,

1:17:44

you know, certain children,

1:17:47

and what's those little blankets with

1:17:50

the ship that

1:17:55

administration. When I when

1:17:57

I looked back and I see Russell Simon,

1:18:00

as I see Mike Tyson, I see pomp

1:18:02

daddy person that I that that we're

1:18:04

still doing business. We're doing business right with him

1:18:06

right now. And I asked them and they say,

1:18:09

well, he wouldn't like that back then. Listen,

1:18:11

he wouldn't like that because he would giving them free rooms

1:18:13

and giving them free taking the course. He wasn't

1:18:15

like that because

1:18:18

you wouldn't you wouldn't afford the flights. Now

1:18:20

he were business partners, you

1:18:22

know, listen, um, you could be a business

1:18:25

partner with anybody. But yes, to go, we all go to

1:18:27

our separate banks. That's just what it is. The

1:18:30

world has a business. Black people have business,

1:18:33

black people of politics, white

1:18:35

people a policy. This they made these words because

1:18:38

that's where we are. We don't even

1:18:40

know how old or how old like fifty five

1:18:42

you say, but forty four, I

1:18:45

think chill. I

1:18:47

didn't say, but

1:18:50

how don't look at our can't believe

1:18:54

he knows him? What when? You

1:18:56

know? But when? But when Trump

1:18:59

started to lean towards

1:19:01

racism, how did you feel

1:19:03

like, because you like you, you have to

1:19:05

be like this, this is not this guy? Um?

1:19:10

Or did you say this is this guy? I don't

1:19:12

know. I just know that I

1:19:14

have some bad qualities that people could p point

1:19:17

at too great point. That's

1:19:20

what I know. What's the glass rock

1:19:22

ship came through what

1:19:25

you say the

1:19:29

rocks? But

1:19:32

similar to that was a great, That was a great

1:19:37

forty five, forty four, Oh

1:19:45

man, I was really um, I was really

1:19:47

grinding at forty four. He

1:19:51

graded with my wife. But

1:19:53

we've been to the Tighton Ranch. Beautiful,

1:19:57

thank you, thank you, ran

1:19:59

through the it moved to Tyson two point, oh Tyson

1:20:02

Ranchi had to go Tyson two points.

1:20:04

When you look at um, we're

1:20:06

probably the highest established cannabis.

1:20:13

We heard. We got absolutely

1:20:18

and we started this ship as a joke because

1:20:21

we have some of they

1:20:24

I can't get I can't get it. We need

1:20:26

to eat ears it is a very

1:20:29

It was too much for me now, but

1:20:31

I just can't handle it. I don't know when it's gonna

1:20:33

hit me. I might be talking to me, but

1:20:38

this is the guy. What do I mean to eat all the mushrooms? Look

1:20:40

1:23:52

we need is success in every

1:23:54

shape, form and fashion. For

1:23:56

sure. I

1:24:03

think you're going about the entertainment because

1:24:05

everyone thinks enter tament. Every time you think is really really

1:24:07

successful, they say, well, I want to be Kareem map

1:24:10

dou Jabbar. I want to be Mike Tyson. Let me

1:24:12

just tell you something. Right here next

1:24:14

to Mike Tyson, I'm just being honest. Don't listen

1:24:16

to him. You are you

1:24:18

are. If you say you're not, then you're

1:24:20

not everything you said you are. That's

1:24:23

the truth. It's entertainment, entertainment.

1:24:29

I don't said, how

1:24:31

can I think I'm SPE's yelling made by God? You know,

1:24:33

think God can make somebody greater than me? Um,

1:24:39

that's it the real talk. But

1:24:43

if you get in the ring and you

1:24:45

get and you get pussy and

1:24:48

you don't like, yeah, problem go

1:24:51

to assessive proof of gay. I

1:24:55

like this show. Let

1:24:59

me tell something here, hold on, let me

1:25:01

tell you something. This is

1:25:03

an honor. It is special

1:25:05

to drink Champs. Mike Tyson

1:25:08

means so much to the culture to hire

1:25:12

drunk. No, No, we're not drunk.

1:25:15

You come to Miami, we will get drunk with

1:25:17

you. No. I could barely

1:25:20

drink right now because it's weird. But honestly,

1:25:26

Mike Tyson means so much to the culture what

1:25:29

he he is. He is superseded and

1:25:31

and and he has gone beyond all

1:25:34

his any issue he ever had, he is

1:25:36

he has. He has just overcome everything.

1:25:38

And it's such an example to everybody,

1:25:41

whether you be black, Latin, or whatever.

1:25:44

This is an example right here. Everybody so makes some

1:25:46

noise, you, Mike typing the lesson. I'm

1:25:53

some man. I'm afraid of my wife. I'm

1:25:58

afraid of my wife too. I just want

1:26:00

to just go and kiss her. You're not afraid

1:26:02

of you. Let's go. Let's just do that, wife

1:26:06

and I live your life, right Fred

1:26:11

1:26:15

You're gonna kill me. I'm that so

1:26:17

1:26:20
