RATING
Mike Tyson is a super genuine guy, and it’s interesting to hear how he’s tried to step away—as far away as possible—from the fighting career that told the world his name. He knows that he is an American icon, but he thinks that picking up that mantle—“owning” his own legend and celebrating his accomplishments would feed his ego in an analogous way as relapsing on cocaine. Both of those things, in his eyes, are equally capable of inflating his ego and bringing back the manic state had worked to set aside.He also talked about how cannabis helps him be a nicer person and reduces his temperamental nature, and about how his experience with 5-MeO-DMT changed his perspective of his life and goals. By the way, Joe Rogan... 5-MeO-DMT is not just an oxygen molecule away from DMT... a methoxy moeity is exactly what it sounds like methyl-oxy, ie CH3O—. In other words, a methyl ether.
This episode made me realize that Mike Tyson is actually pretty smart. Joe does a good job of asking about the really interesting parts of Tyson's past, while also allowing him space to reflect on what it all means. Also, there's a fair bit of WTF, which is nice.
