What was it like fighting again after all those years?
00:00:36.000
Well, it's funny because you talked to me on the podcast before.
00:00:40.000
The first time you came on and you said, I can't even work out.
00:00:44.000
Because if I work out, my ego will get excited.
00:00:47.000
But I did this toad, and I said, you gotta do it.
00:01:01.000
And it started off with me at first fighting Bob Sapp at first.
00:01:09.000
Yeah, when you got in the ring with him, you said Marcus Queensberry rules.
00:01:14.000
Yeah, but listen, the fight I fought with Roy Jones was supposed to be with Bob Sapp.
00:01:28.000
So the next thing you know, Roy Jones got involved, and other fighters, Holyfield got involved, and then it turned into a fiasco, and then the young guy, Jake Paul, he got involved then.
00:01:46.000
When you get challenged by someone who's a guy like a Jake Paul, does that piss you off?
00:02:08.000
Because like, in a way, I mean, it's kind of insulting.
00:02:14.000
It's brave, it's bold of him, but it's also, it's like, Jesus Christ, there's levels to this world.
00:02:23.000
This gentleman, he was a mayor in this town in the Midwest, and I talked to him before, and he was one of those stern guys.
00:02:30.000
He always got the bills, paid, always got your lights on, always got everything right and perfect, but he didn't have a good personality.
00:02:36.000
And he almost lost to a guy that didn't do anything.
00:02:39.000
He shitted on people's taxes, he messed it, but he hung out with the people.
00:02:43.000
He smoked cigarettes with them, he drank with them, he ate with them, he hung on their porch with them.
00:02:48.000
And that's when you learn you can't take yourself too serious.
00:02:53.000
I don't mean the world will turn on you if you take yourself too serious.
00:02:57.000
Made all this money, got this reputation, and now I'm looking at people, screw-facing them now.
00:03:06.000
Really, if you think about it, when my ego's not involved, how can I really be mad at somebody?
00:03:11.000
That's a beautiful attitude, and you're so right, because there's so many people that are so concentrating on...
00:03:16.000
They're concentrating so much on succeeding and doing great things.
00:03:22.000
I wanted to be somebody so bad, it wasn't even funny.
00:03:28.000
Life is about, thank you, life is enjoying moments.
00:03:31.000
Life is a balance and life is, your legacy is not what you accomplished, it's what your children say about you at the end of the day.
00:03:40.000
They know what you're hiding that you don't want no one else to see.
00:04:00.000
He felt like if you had any imbalance, like if you were too aggressive or too peaceful, like any imbalance was dangerous.
00:04:10.000
So you had to be a person who understood all things.
00:04:16.000
Everybody can express themselves being centered.
00:04:20.000
People have to be totally insane to express themselves, totally introverted to express themselves, and I don't know why it's like that.
00:04:26.000
I think he's talking about it from a point of fighting with swords.
00:04:38.000
Yeah, and it gets worse as you get more successful and more destructive and more, you know, you're a conqueror, you're the fucking guy in Sports Illustrated, you're the fucking man.
00:04:47.000
I mean, it's just, when you're a guy who's in a position like you were in when you were 20 years old, like, I've had this conversation with many people, like, do you understand the kind of self-control it would take to be the baddest man on the planet and you're only 20?
00:05:06.000
So, like, imbalance at that point in your life was almost impossible.
00:05:28.000
Cuts are going to be mad at me if he see me do this.
00:05:34.000
Do you think that that's what it takes to make someone who is as good as you, as young as you?
00:05:42.000
Me, Mike Tyson, I'm an obsessed mentality type of person.
00:05:46.000
And at that point in time, I mean, to achieve what you achieved so quickly, too, you know, like you met Cuss when you were like, what, 13?
00:05:59.000
Well, 12 to 19, he died when I was 19, but the fact is, um...
00:06:04.000
I put so much of myself into boxing my emotions and everything.
00:06:12.000
But then when I came to life, it was disastrous.
00:06:15.000
Imagine being the guy that's just so, boom, always in the person's face.
00:06:42.000
Very funny comedian, but he has a funny joke about football players.
00:06:44.000
Football players are getting violent altercations.
00:06:47.000
He goes, he just did football outside of football.
00:06:52.000
Like dudes who crash into people on a regular basis and tackle people.
00:07:01.000
He did football when it wasn't time to do football.
00:07:09.000
Sometimes we do our sports when it's out of season and we get in trouble.
00:07:15.000
Like when you got in that fight with Mitch Blood Green in some...
00:07:23.000
And that was like, that added to your mystique.
00:07:25.000
Like when you crashed your car, gave it to the cops.
00:07:30.000
But it's like, almost like that's what people want.
00:07:40.000
I was a nobody that wanted to be somebody so bad.
00:07:47.000
Obviously you were supremely confident, but did you ever have moments where you couldn't even believe it was real?
00:07:56.000
I'm waiting for somebody to say, get up nigga and go back to that cell.
00:08:09.000
How do you really get used to understanding yourself when everyone tells you you're the greatest?
00:08:16.000
That's what the gentleman was talking about, the five rings.
00:08:28.000
But there's almost like a samurai way of looking at it where you acknowledge it, but you don't think about it.
00:08:35.000
And I don't know who the fuck is capable of doing that.
00:08:38.000
No one's capable of doing that at 20. In order to be in the master, you have to be the idiot first.
00:08:44.000
You can't be the master without being an idiot.
00:08:49.000
You have to make the mistakes to become a master.
00:08:56.000
You have to be a fool to even think you want to reach that level.
00:09:01.000
And, you know, it's a funny thing because a lot of people are scared of trying anything new.
00:09:10.000
Because you think about the early times when you were learning something.
00:09:15.000
There's nothing more terrifying than being terrible at fighting.
00:09:18.000
And you're learning fighting around people that are really good at it.
00:09:22.000
And if you enter into that realm, you have to be a really courageous person to be a beginner in fighting.
00:09:28.000
Listen, You always benefit from fighting because people who don't fight well teach people to fight well.
00:09:37.000
You never hear no great legendary fighter being a great trainer.
00:09:41.000
Like Emmanuel Stewart is a great example, right?
00:09:44.000
Emmanuel Stewart is not a guy that people knew as a great heavyweight fighter, but my God, what a fucking trainer he was.
00:09:56.000
But, like, Freddie Roach was a good fighter, and Freddie Roach is an amazing coach.
00:10:08.000
What do you think of these fighters, guys like me?
00:10:12.000
Don't you think we have a little bit too much self-centered to really get involved with somebody?
00:10:18.000
If they don't pick it up quickly, we lose our interest because they think they should be like us, or they should be...
00:10:24.000
They should stop fucking eating and losing weight when they don't need to lose weight.
00:10:31.000
I could imagine that you wouldn't be interested.
00:10:35.000
It's like a great man who is a great fighter at one point in his time stops thinking about himself.
00:10:43.000
Listen, if you know who you are at this stage of your life, then you're very limited.
00:10:49.000
If I know who I am at this stage, we're 55 years old and I know who I am.
00:10:58.000
Every day of our life we change without even knowing.
00:11:09.000
I notice the older I get, The closer I am to my past, I started meeting people when I was seven years old, eight years old.
00:11:19.000
They won 25 or 50 Grammys or platinum albums or something.
00:11:23.000
And we just went on a different world, but we came from that brilliant little cesspool.
00:11:31.000
Also, they probably also can relate to you because they can't believe their life is real either.
00:11:42.000
I think Dave Chappelle is just supposed to be here.
00:11:45.000
Dave Chappelle doesn't have any, like before shows, he's the coolest cucumber I've ever seen before a show.
00:11:53.000
Just relaxed, listen to like Nina Simone music, and then he just goes out and does his thing.
00:12:00.000
Everyone, I don't care who you are, everyone focuses on who they are.
00:12:08.000
We are all we really have to think about besides our children.
00:12:10.000
And even though we have children, we're our center of our attention.
00:12:13.000
And the great coaches find those people and make them better.
00:12:18.000
Yeah, but you have to have one of those people.
00:12:31.000
Do you think it would be possible if you met a young man that reminded you of yourself when you were his age and that would excite you to train him?
00:12:43.000
And so dedicated and driven and talented and you felt like he would do everything you told him to do and he would listen to you.
00:12:50.000
Listen, you know how special you have to be to be a trainer?
00:12:59.000
You know how great you have to be to be a trainer?
00:13:01.000
It takes more to be a great trainer than to be a great fighter.
00:13:05.000
Do you think it's because a great trainer has to be able to teach all kinds of styles?
00:13:10.000
Styles have nothing to do with the morale behind the style.
00:13:15.000
Imagine if you have the greatest style, but don't have the great determination and anticipation.
00:13:26.000
When you have a relationship like yours with Cuss when you're 13 years old, that's the magic relationship in boxing.
00:13:42.000
The way you did it, man, it's like, it's one of those stories like a movie story.
00:13:48.000
It's like if you saw your life, if your life wasn't a real life and somebody wrote it in a movie, I'd be like, ah, a little too much.
00:13:59.000
And it's also just being so fortunate to have met a guy like Cuss.
00:14:10.000
And that's what we all need to realize, that they don't align for everybody.
00:14:18.000
Everything's been written since the beginning of time.
00:14:21.000
Do you think that everything's been written like it all has a purpose to it?
00:14:32.000
When I do mushrooms or any time I do anything psychedelic, I have this weird thought that all of this is playing out towards a very predetermined outcome.
00:14:45.000
All of this is what we're doing now, me and you and everybody, is a beautiful process of dying.
00:14:54.000
And you're dying as the world is changing rapidly around you, as more people have access to information.
00:15:20.000
You think God would want us to be born and be scared about dying?
00:15:28.000
Well, we want to stay alive, but we can't be scared of something that's inevitable, right?
00:15:32.000
We could be afraid, but we just can't cling to life.
00:15:38.000
He still wants us to think after this is nothing.
00:15:43.000
I would like to think that he would think that we would believe after this, there's more than this.
00:15:56.000
You tell that to a pragmatic scientist, they'll act like we're crazy.
00:16:00.000
But I think that if you have a psychedelic experience, one of the things you say to yourself is, okay, what is this?
00:16:14.000
Explain your existence after you've done DMT. Yeah, really.
00:16:20.000
You can live in the threshold of your birth-to-death life and just operate by society's rules and only think about the things that matter to your bottom line, your bank account and things like that, but you're missing out on a lot of mistakes.
00:16:37.000
You may be afraid to react, but I think your consciousness tells you and you're just intimidated to move or react.
00:16:59.000
Well, I'm afraid of results, but I act as if I'm not.
00:17:05.000
If you could just find things that challenge you all the time.
00:17:08.000
Find things that scare you all the time and do them as often as possible.
00:17:24.000
And then you're just a part of this whole system that leads up to people.
00:17:29.000
What led up to this, to me, and what led up to you, our generation?
00:17:32.000
Now our generation will lead up to something else.
00:17:35.000
Yeah, we're going to lead up to a totally new kind of human being.
00:17:39.000
It'll be a different human being and maybe a different species.
00:17:48.000
There's just too much scientific science out there that people are dibbling and dabbling in.
00:17:54.000
All of a sudden they start seeing these animals that look deformed with human beings' hands and heads and stuff.
00:18:03.000
That means they've combined the DNA of a human and a monkey.
00:18:10.000
I don't think they actually raised one to a full-grown living animal.
00:18:18.000
Instead of going here, his muscles go right here.
00:18:21.000
There's a video that someone sent me of a monkey pulling this dude's head off.
00:18:30.000
Just jumps on top of this dude, bites into his head, and peels back his scalp.
00:18:39.000
Because it's a tiny little monkey, and the dude is in India.
00:18:49.000
So the dude thinks he's being friendly with this monkey.
00:18:52.000
The monkey's sitting in his lap, and the monkey just grabs him out of nowhere.
00:19:00.000
He bit his head and pulled his fucking scalp off.
00:19:09.000
You ever watch the chimpanzees when they hunt those monkeys?
00:19:13.000
And they hunt them and then they rip them, break them while they're alive, eating their hands.
00:19:20.000
They break off one hand and feed it to the other monkeys.
00:19:23.000
Share parts of the monkey while they're eating and alive.
00:19:27.000
I'm one of those guys that get into stuff like that.
00:19:30.000
You know, Mike, they didn't even know about that until the 90s.
00:19:32.000
They didn't know that they regularly hunted monkeys.
00:19:34.000
They thought they lived off of fruits and vegetables like gorillas.
00:19:44.000
But most of the time, they're just eating plants, whereas the chimps really like eating monkeys.
00:19:51.000
When the chimp is grabbing it and pulling it apart, and the little face is like...
00:20:02.000
It's just horrific to watch a monkey get eaten by a chimp.
00:20:32.000
But I think that's one of the things that people love so much about violence and conflict.
00:20:38.000
It excites us because it reminds us, oh, we're just animals.
00:20:43.000
But also, it reminds us not to be the weak one.
00:21:05.000
Do you know about the giant chimps that they found in the Congo?
00:21:11.000
There's a group of chimps that they found in the Congo that are a subspecies.
00:21:26.000
He sets up these camera traps in the Congo to try to capture them.
00:21:31.000
Because they're a rare subspecies of chimp that grows like six feet tall.
00:21:38.000
Maybe somebody's been a scientist in a laboratory with them.
00:21:43.000
I think there used to be a bunch of different primate species that died off.
00:21:51.000
It looks like it got teeth, but it looks like a fish, and it got clans.
00:21:57.000
I guarantee you they fucked with some animals and made some hybrid animals.
00:22:02.000
But with this chimp, this is in such a remote part of the Congo.
00:22:05.000
It's so difficult to get there, and there's all these civil wars in that area.
00:22:12.000
You don't think when we driving by, you see nothing but mountains and no green.
00:22:17.000
You don't think there's people under those mountains or some kind like this, like this.
00:22:22.000
So that's, that's, oh no, that's that chimpanzee.
00:22:33.000
That one where the guys are taking the photograph with it, the dead one, that's legit.
00:22:37.000
They shot this one at an airport in the Congo, and it's fucking huge.
00:22:47.000
And so they called this one, they called them, they had two different names for chimps.
00:22:56.000
One was tree beaters, and the other one was lion killers.
00:22:59.000
That photo where they're holding that one up, that's another one.
00:23:06.000
And one of the things about them is they have these crests down the top of their skull, like a mohawk, that gorillas have.
00:23:23.000
At the beginning we were a different species of people.
00:23:27.000
As you see during the period when we see these people that, what do you call them?
00:23:40.000
I've seen them, and one particular, it was about Amazons, and one picture that had this one Amazon, she must have been the queen, because she was dead, she was like this, and she had a man in her feet.
00:24:06.000
Listen, they have statues of men fighting the Amazon.
00:24:10.000
They got women fighting them back, cutting, you know, jumping on men.
00:24:21.000
Imagine if that's a real thing, if it was a real tribe of super women fighters.
00:24:51.000
If that's true, that is one of the wildest things a person's ever done for combat.
00:24:56.000
Remove part of your body so you can shoot a bow better.
00:25:09.000
Because if you're shooting a bow right, your tit shouldn't even come into play.
00:25:26.000
Well, I was just thinking about, because I shoot bows and arrows.
00:25:31.000
And when you use proper technique, the boobs don't even come into play.
00:25:41.000
They had different signs then than they had now.
00:25:46.000
Maybe they just realized they could hold the bow better and not have to chop a tail off.
00:25:49.000
Maybe they had different gods and they believed different things.
00:25:52.000
Most religion was superstition before it became religion.
00:26:03.000
You know, we're the biggest Muslims, biggest Christians, biggest Mormons.
00:26:08.000
And our religion tells superstition is bullcrap.
00:26:11.000
But we're more superstitious than we are religious.
00:26:17.000
Some people believe, oh, that black cat crossed the path.
00:26:23.000
Do you ever imagine what it would be like to live in a different time when there was no written history?
00:26:27.000
And what those people must have been like just passing down knowledge, just talking to each other before they figured out how to write things down?
00:26:34.000
Those are the greatest people of the beginning of the world.
00:26:38.000
They gave us the biggest freedom that we could ever have in our life.
00:26:51.000
We're quoting people from thousands of years ago.
00:26:55.000
Because no matter how sophisticated we become, power is everything.
00:27:00.000
We don't quote them because they had great quotes.
00:27:02.000
We quote them because they were powerful men that had great quotes.
00:27:06.000
There's that and there's also just geniuses like Galileo.
00:27:12.000
No, listen, these guys are not cool hanging out with.
00:27:15.000
Listen, all these geniuses, we like to be friends with them, but we don't want to live with them.
00:27:22.000
Oh, we don't want to live with these genius friends of ours.
00:27:41.000
I have a friend, every time he takes a shit, he takes a shower.
00:28:07.000
You go to the bathroom and you gotta take a shower.
00:28:12.000
You gotta take a shit, then you gotta take a shower?
00:28:28.000
Man, just being around Galileo and he's trying to tell you, hey man, all this shit they think about where the earth is and the sun is, they're all wrong.
00:28:38.000
He was getting high with some people, there's no doubt.
00:28:46.000
We're talking about the burning bush and everything's in there, man.
00:28:49.000
Yeah, the burning bush is DMT. I love the burning bush.
00:28:54.000
They say that that tree that is in that area, the acacia tree, that tree is rich in DMT. This book I read, what's the word?
00:29:08.000
I forgot, but I did it in an audio book, and if you heard this guy reading, you'd think this guy is hot.
00:29:17.000
Have you read, there's a great audio book that I listen to called The Immortality Key.
00:29:22.000
And I had a guy on the podcast who wrote the book.
00:29:27.000
No, The Immortality Key is all about psychedelics in ancient religions.
00:29:32.000
And it's, he's got, they've opened up a field of study at Harvard, so they're studying this at Harvard now.
00:29:38.000
All the ancient Greeks, they were all tripping.
00:29:44.000
They found these ancient pots that they use for their ceremonies and there's an LSD residue on them.
00:29:50.000
Alexander the Great, when he went to, listen, he fell in love with the Afghan people.
00:30:05.000
All his men, like every one of his men, they got killed.
00:30:07.000
Next thing you know, they got Afghanian generals.
00:30:22.000
That's why you see the Afghanis that got that bushy hair?
00:30:27.000
Alexander, his men, the Greeks back then, they were mixed back then, the Greeks, so they had the bushy hair, too.
00:30:33.000
You look at the Greeks now, they don't have the bushy hair like they had back then.
00:30:39.000
Well, we know the Vikings took a lot of mushrooms.
00:30:43.000
Listen, the Vikings are just getting high on anything.
00:30:56.000
But they live a very respectable life, healthy life, great culture.
00:31:02.000
There was a strong culture, like a fierce warrior culture.
00:31:06.000
And then those people, like, populated places like Iceland.
00:31:09.000
I know, but listen, those guys, those vicious savages, those guys are farmers.
00:31:19.000
After a while, they did kind of become farmers, right?
00:31:39.000
We watched it for a few seasons, but she got tired of watching people get chopped up.
00:31:44.000
But they were doing it because they were dying.
00:31:47.000
Well, they also sacrificed people's lives and shit, like they had human sacrifice, and in one of the episodes it's like, whoa.
00:31:54.000
And it's based all around what they really did, how the Vikings really lived, with some liberties.
00:32:02.000
The Vikings became Tsars, the Vikings became kings, the Vikings took over the world, they became African kings.
00:32:08.000
Listen there, they became kings, they took over the world.
00:32:12.000
Even in different cultures, even in the Chinese, the black culture, they have Viking blood.
00:32:20.000
Because what the Westman called it, the Vandals went to Africa.
00:32:28.000
It's wild when you see all those people that live in Iceland and how fucking big they are.
00:32:32.000
Like those giant strongmen guys, most of them are from Iceland.
00:32:36.000
It's like a large percentage of those strongest men in the world guys are all from Iceland.
00:32:42.000
It's weird in the cold they get bigger and in the heat they get smaller.
00:32:53.000
Well, when it's hot out, it's easier to disperse the energy if you have a smaller body.
00:32:58.000
If you see the Siberian tiger and you see the Indian tiger, ooh, totally different.
00:33:13.000
I think the Siberians, they're so cold, they have to be mean.
00:33:27.000
You know in Siberia, you know how fucking much land they have out there in Siberia?
00:33:34.000
In India, they keep infringing on their land, so they have one-on-one confrontation with the tiger in India.
00:33:43.000
They keep approaching on his land, cutting down trees, and he needs the big trees to hide, and they run right into him.
00:33:51.000
Did you see the tiger on that thing when he jumped on the elephant and took the guy's fingers off?
00:33:57.000
He looked so beautiful when they opened up the tiger.
00:34:00.000
It's crazy that he knew that there was a person on top of that elephant, too.
00:34:04.000
He wanted to get the guy on top of the elephant.
00:34:06.000
Yeah, because there was a tiger around killing some cows and stuff.
00:34:11.000
So they were looking for him, and they were hitting the trees, and he just came and went in the air.
00:34:20.000
Imagine seeing that thing flying through the air trying to get you.
00:34:51.000
So he was eating cows, and they were trying to kick him out of the area.
00:34:54.000
And they came on these, look at the elephant, like 10 foot tall, man.
00:35:04.000
Look at that fucking mouth, just looking to eat you, murder you.
00:35:11.000
There's this area of India called the Sundarbans and it's this river where the water is not quite fresh.
00:35:20.000
And they think it might be one of the reasons why the tigers are so aggressive there.
00:35:25.000
But the tigers in that area have killed some insane amount of people over the last hundred years.
00:35:31.000
You've heard a tiger grab that lady out of the car?
00:35:33.000
When they had an argument, they had an argument, so she got out the car.
00:35:39.000
And the guy tried to run back, and the next thing you know, he ran to the car.
00:35:45.000
Because the mother went to save her, and the mother got killed by a tiger.
00:35:52.000
Whatever she gets, I just want to argue with a motherfucker.
00:35:59.000
Could you imagine being with a woman who's so fucking crazy that she pulls one of those, get out the car.
00:36:08.000
I'm not going to say anybody deserves that, but some people need to just stop the bullshit, you know?
00:36:15.000
Nobody deserves that, but everybody should know that that's on the menu.
00:36:26.000
It's horrible that this happened, but, you know, it happened.
00:36:29.000
Listen, my wife thinks something's wrong with me, because, listen...
00:36:32.000
I was at one of my shows, and it was one of those elevated stage.
00:36:36.000
So the guy was like, I don't know, 40 feet in the air.
00:36:40.000
And he tried to jump on the stage, but he jumped on his leg at the stage, and he kept going down.
00:36:47.000
Why are you laughing at people in Australia looking at me?
00:37:30.000
There's people like that in the world that will get out of a car and cause a crazy scene in a tiger park.
00:37:49.000
This area in the Sundarbans, these guys, they have to do a survey of how many tigers there are just so they can keep track, and they go with rifles, and they have these helmets on, and the helmets have a face on the back of the head.
00:38:08.000
Well, they think I'm running and shit, and they're playing.
00:38:11.000
And if they accidentally, because they chew on my arm and stuff, and if they accidentally bite my head, they can hurt me by accident.
00:38:19.000
When they're on my shoulder and arm, I let them bite me and my legs and stuff.
00:38:28.000
600, 500. That's when they're eating good, man.
00:38:33.000
But you never felt nervous around them, or you never felt like they might kill one of your friends accidentally?
00:38:39.000
Definitely one of my friends and family members.
00:38:42.000
You know, the relationship with tigers and stuff are different than with lions and stuff.
00:38:48.000
They like hanging out with family, but tigers only hang out with you.
00:38:53.000
And you better hope he doesn't like one of your children.
00:38:57.000
Because then you can't play with your children.
00:39:11.000
They don't fuck around with a whole bunch of people.
00:39:14.000
Lions hang out there on the front table of your table, hanging out with the family and stuff.
00:39:20.000
You notice in the wild, anything that see them, they're gonna kill.
00:39:26.000
Only time they're with a female is when it's mating season.
00:39:33.000
I wonder why they have that coloration, that beautiful pattern on their body.
00:39:39.000
When you see a tiger that looks that stunning, like all the...
00:39:48.000
When I was over at a gentleman's house that had a tiger, we were talking about, and I saw this cat, it's called a tabby.
00:40:32.000
Like, if you had to leave, if you had to go to camp, if you had to do anything, like, what did you do with the cats?
00:40:59.000
So when you got to a place, like say if you were training for a fight and you brought them with you, what would you do?
00:41:12.000
But first thing more than all, I would have my receipt for my tax.
00:41:16.000
You know, you have to have, every time they move, you have to have a license for them.
00:41:18.000
If they move to Vegas, all right, we have to have the Vegas.
00:41:20.000
Like, they move to New York, we need a New York license.
00:41:23.000
And New York is so hard to get a life for live animals, you know, endangered species.
00:41:28.000
There was a dude, they found an alligator in his apartment.
00:41:54.000
No, the tiger and the alligator started to fight, and he tried to break it up.
00:41:58.000
Can you imagine you have an alligator and a tiger in your apartment?
00:42:12.000
Remember the guy in the subway had a 500 pound tiger?
00:42:14.000
It was a guy that lived in New York in the subway.
00:42:35.000
We're living with these cats and they're not trained.
00:42:52.000
Look at that face of that cat in the window with the cop.
00:43:14.000
That's how they get you to fucking stand still.
00:43:18.000
I think they're so beautiful, I think that might be it.
00:43:36.000
Yeah, the tigers don't want you to look at them.
00:43:55.000
When they love each other, it's like sideways action.
00:43:59.000
They love on each other, but they don't stare eye to eye.
00:44:02.000
Eye to eye is like, I don't know what you're thinking.
00:44:05.000
Next thing you know, you're going through your head.
00:44:10.000
I never knew that since you said, look in the face.
00:44:12.000
They think you're challenging them for dominance.
00:44:14.000
Like, my golden retriever, you met my, um, Marshall.
00:44:24.000
He looks me in the eyes just because we've known each other for so long.
00:44:31.000
But dog, even a dog like that doesn't like looking you in the eye.
00:44:36.000
You know, what's interesting about big cats, especially tigers...
00:44:39.000
If a tiger, if you go, like, I see my tiger running in the cave, man.
00:44:43.000
If I go and I see him and he's happy to see me, they run to the gate, I go in, I play with him, I bring him out with me.
00:44:48.000
But if I go there and they're like this, nah, the day's not the day to go in there.
00:44:53.000
You stare him eye to eye, he'll go, what the fuck are you doing?
00:44:57.000
And then I ask, they're just looking at you, no, no, that's not a good day.
00:45:02.000
Don't go in there that day when they're just looking at you.
00:45:05.000
It's crazy that people love to have pets like that.
00:45:09.000
To live in an apartment and have a tiger like that.
00:45:31.000
I like giving them chicken and I give them horse meat.
00:45:35.000
I give them two or three of them, but then I give them the horse meat.
00:45:38.000
This is when it gets fun when you get the whole side of a cow or a side of a horse.
00:45:47.000
Hit it against the fence and hit it in the air and they grab it and they run inside.
00:45:52.000
Did you ever see the video from the Iraqi zoo when the U.S. soldiers first took it over?
00:45:59.000
No, no, he had the giraffes and all that stuff there.
00:46:02.000
Well, there was an Iraqi zoo and when the U.S. soldiers first got there, the way they would feed the lions, they would just let goats go.
00:46:10.000
Just let them go and let the lions kill them and everybody would watch.
00:46:15.000
But isn't that the way they're supposed to do it?
00:46:49.000
These animals make you believe that you can control them.
00:46:53.000
They give you the four senses of security that you're in control.
00:47:00.000
They say, oh, he really wants me to lay down with him and play with him?
00:47:33.000
You know when they be smoking the house to clear the shade?
00:48:13.000
This is not coming out of anything that breathes air.
00:48:18.000
This didn't come out of something that breathes air.
00:48:28.000
I was talking to this dude who's a wildlife expert.
00:48:31.000
He said one of the more distressing parts about the zoo is that people get to stare at animals.
00:48:35.000
He goes, there's no other world where anything gets to stare, anything with eyes in the front of its face.
00:48:40.000
Hey, maybe you want to check at one time in life they did experiment when they put people in the zoo.
00:48:50.000
And it was real people in there fucking in front of people looking at them, eating.
00:48:58.000
I wouldn't want to have a human zoo because I wouldn't want people having any fucking ideas.
00:49:02.000
Listen, I know we don't like Alex Jones and stuff, but Listen, check this out, right?
00:49:08.000
But listen, whatever you think a human did to another human being, it happened.
00:49:15.000
If anything, I don't know if it fucked me, ate or whatever it is, it happened.
00:49:22.000
And sometimes in these special camps and stuff, it happens.
00:49:25.000
These people own these thousands of acres and nothing grows on them.
00:49:31.000
Weird ranches where people meet and do rituals.
00:49:34.000
Might want to hunt a motherfucker and let him go.
00:49:40.000
I guarantee you there's been someone somewhere in the world who paid someone to hunt a person.
00:49:49.000
They take these homeless people off the streets, put them in there, take them to one of these special hospitals, they take them from that hospital, may have them drugged up, take them on these large estates of property.
00:50:07.000
I think, well, that book, The Most Dangerous Game, didn't that come out in like the 30s?
00:50:13.000
It's an old, old book about that very thing, rich people hunting poor people.
00:50:18.000
The only reason we hunt the fox, why is the only reason we hunt fox?
00:50:30.000
If he chases, if he chases, he'll go forward, then he'll come backwards and go this way.
00:50:35.000
Yeah, that's why that's the only really challenging chase.
00:50:48.000
And so now they say, well, the fox is the most reasonable animal.
00:50:52.000
Let's try a human animal and see how reasonable he is.
00:51:07.000
They're not going to do anything they think that's inferior than them.
00:51:12.000
They're going to study what they're going to attack or what they're going to make their victim.
00:51:22.000
Anything you think a human being could do, he did it to another human being.
00:51:26.000
But that one, like an organized one like that, where they're hunting someone, for sure that's happened.
00:51:36.000
Forget who's watching you and what people think about you, but how much fun would that be?
00:51:45.000
You know, and you can't catch him and he's smarter than you and he kills you.
00:51:53.000
Don't they allow them to have some weapons and stuff?
00:52:03.000
I'm sure different people have different ways of doing it to make it more sporting.
00:52:08.000
It's not sporting when they're not fighting back.
00:52:11.000
It's just not as much excitement if a punch is not coming at you.
00:52:25.000
You know, it only becomes exciting when the rabbit gets the gun.
00:52:28.000
If the rabbit don't have a gun, it tells me it's just going to be a shooting fish in a bucket.
00:52:37.000
What a terrifying thought that people would be into doing that.
00:52:41.000
But if I had to guess yes or no, I would say definitely people have done it.
00:52:45.000
And there's going to be somebody with the ego saying, they're not going to kill me.
00:52:53.000
You say, like, you know, I'll make five million bucks.
00:53:03.000
Right, but I mean, how many people would risk it just to see if they could win money?
00:53:13.000
If someone could take your heart right now out your heart, your parents, your family would be rich.
00:53:23.000
You'd be surprised how selfish some people are.
00:53:25.000
A lot of people would be like, no, I'll work this out on my own.
00:53:31.000
I mean, it's one of those questions like, would you really believe them?
00:53:36.000
You believe they're gonna take care of your family?
00:53:42.000
Yeah, you want to believe it to end the suffering.
00:53:46.000
A person to take care of your family if you kill somebody you don't like, later before you do something really spectacular.
00:53:53.000
What does it really cost to take care of a family?
00:54:02.000
If you think that everything should be legal, that's where, you know, someone, a game show where someone tries to kill you, that's a fucked up thing to have legal.
00:54:14.000
Listen, what's the guy, what's my name, Barry something?
00:54:42.000
I wasn't sure if that was just the plot of that movie, which is a really fun movie.
00:55:11.000
It's hilarious if you became the host of the gong show because he was great.
00:55:16.000
He had the perfect amount of silliness while he was the host of that show.
00:55:22.000
According to this, the quick Google search says he admitted to making up the story.
00:55:33.000
I once applied for the CIA, and while I was going through the process, I got a job and went on to television.
00:55:40.000
Yeah, but do you believe a guy who they say was a spy?
00:55:54.000
Yeah, tell him about those bodies that he's seen.
00:55:56.000
Those spacey-looking motherfuckers he's never seen before.
00:56:00.000
Pull up a video of Chuck Barris hosting the gong show.
00:56:08.000
Dangerous Minds producer says, oh, that's a producer.
00:56:35.000
Remember these guys in World War II? Rosenbergs, Ethel Rosenbergs.
00:56:39.000
Were there the people that got arrested for spying?
00:56:43.000
My mentor, customer, he would put his life, they were innocent.
00:56:47.000
Yeah, he put his life on it, they were innocent.
00:56:50.000
I'm telling everybody, I don't even know nothing about these Jews.
00:56:52.000
They're innocent because I'm just following him.
00:56:54.000
Oh man, you believe how many people hate these people?
00:57:03.000
The brother-in-law, the wife's brother made everything up.
00:57:25.000
Her brother, I believe, made something up, got suspicious about something that he's seen and he reported it.
00:57:35.000
And then they got arrested for it, and then they got executed for it, right?
00:57:45.000
It's hard to tell, but my God, there's a lot of people that didn't do anything that went to jail.
00:57:54.000
I mean, that's one of the things about the future that I think is going to be very strange, is when we could read minds.
00:58:15.000
Imagine if you can control that in some kind of capacity.
00:58:21.000
I think it's an emerging part of being a person.
00:58:26.000
God, man, I wonder if this guy already is still alive.
00:58:36.000
Since the beginning of the light, it's been written.
00:58:38.000
If you don't think so, it's just ridiculous to believe that.
00:58:42.000
I think sometimes it could be a coincidence, but sometimes it's not.
00:58:51.000
But I know that there's moments where I'm thinking of a very good friend and then he calls me.
00:58:59.000
And he's just calling me out of the blue, not even texting me.
00:59:02.000
And every now and then you feel like there's a connection.
00:59:07.000
I have dreams, but normally when I sleep, it's blacked out or white out, and then I wake up.
00:59:14.000
Do you not have dreams, or do you not remember your dreams?
00:59:21.000
What is the difference between the days you have them and the days you don't?
00:59:25.000
Is it like when you're more rested you have dreams, or does it have anything to do with anything that goes on in your life?
00:59:39.000
Yeah, I have more time to position myself, to relax, to meditate.
00:59:50.000
When you made that shift and got back into fighting again, what did it feel like to just all of a sudden go into warrior mode again?
01:00:02.000
I saw you hitting the bag and working out with Rafael Cordero.
01:00:08.000
It was nothing to me, but I was excited more because my friends were excited.
01:00:21.000
And I said, Mike, I can't believe you're doing this shit, Mike.
01:00:40.000
So he said, Mike, I don't want you to fight, man.
01:00:41.000
I'm going to get you a job, make you some money.
01:00:51.000
He doesn't want me to fight and get knocked out and beat up, but he wants me to go in there and put a shark to sleep.
01:01:35.000
All right, so they do this white shoot with me.
01:01:41.000
They go, all right, Mike, so we got the tiger shark tomorrow, all right?
01:01:44.000
He's more aggressive, of course, so you have to move differently with this guy, and he's going to come at you, but when he comes, you go underneath his neck.
01:01:51.000
When he tries to attack you, you go underneath him, and you tickle his neck.
01:01:57.000
So I'm in there, I'm saying, listen, they're throwing blood in the water, dead fish.
01:02:23.000
Maybe he died or got into an altercation with a whale or something.
01:02:31.000
Imagine if it was Dana's fault and you get eaten by a fucking shark.
01:02:40.000
I said, y'all motherfuckers don't care about me.
01:02:49.000
Did you imagine telling her to get in the ocean with sharks and bloody fish and tickle them under the chin?
01:03:00.000
Like the seven-foot sharks, you know, the little green reef shark.
01:03:10.000
Is that like a chainmail suit or something like that?
01:03:40.000
Mike, this is so much more dangerous than boxing.
01:03:42.000
No doubt, but my wife thought that Dana was doing me a favor.
01:03:52.000
He was helping our family out make money without getting hurt.
01:04:01.000
Tigers are scary, but sharks are just as scary in the ocean.
01:04:07.000
Yeah, you're more successful with a tiger because you're going to scream, and he might freak out and run.
01:04:15.000
I think if you screamed at a tiger, I think you would think it's adorable.
01:04:23.000
Yeah, if you step on their hand, they'll freak out.
01:04:34.000
And know what else I found out about sharks, too?
01:04:37.000
That stuff that we see on television, you get a chair, but a chair freaks them out.
01:04:47.000
I don't know why, but a chair, like a wooden chair, four legs, you go like that, it freaks them out.
01:04:53.000
Remember when you see a cartoon, they had the whip in the chair?
01:05:05.000
Then I saw the chairs freak them out, everything.
01:05:08.000
That was always the image of the guy who tamed a lion.
01:05:19.000
When he's just laying down and then you come in the room and you're just chilling, then you open your eyes and his eyes are at your eyes.
01:05:37.000
The lion's cool, but you can't leave a tiger like this too long.
01:05:48.000
That's why when I look at him, he's like, hey, hey, hey, excuse me.
01:05:57.000
Well, listen, it's difficult because you get brainwashed because you raised them from a baby and then you reprimand them and they get in check and stuff.
01:06:10.000
But it's the intoxication in your mind, the intoxication that you're in control.
01:06:24.000
You raise the sense of the baby, but he pisses him off sometimes.
01:06:41.000
Listen, he has so much of one of those, what do you call those, guard complex, you know, got these guys in control.
01:06:50.000
Listen, he had one of his workers sacrifice their arm and still go to work and say, hey, I'm working free of charge.
01:07:18.000
He's going to say, I'm going to have her killed.
01:07:24.000
The type of person that is interested in collecting tigers is a very interesting type of person.
01:07:32.000
I don't even want to say what kind of person that is.
01:07:55.000
I sleep in my bed with them, and this guy keeps them in cages.
01:08:02.000
There's more tigers in captivity in private collections in Texas.
01:08:09.000
Well, Beaumont got some good collections of tigers.
01:08:37.000
So when you had four, did you have four at the same time, or did you have four ones at different times?
01:08:46.000
And the only one that bit me with the damn lion, because I'm trying to give him the technique shot.
01:08:49.000
I think I'm a fucking, excuse me, I think I'm a doctor.
01:08:52.000
So I'm going to give him a technique shot, because I don't want no one to know I have this lion and tiger, so I have to be the doctor.
01:08:59.000
I have to be the mother, the father, the doctor.
01:09:02.000
So I got to give him this technique, and this nigga takes a job.
01:09:10.000
I had like seven stitches, eight stitches, but it was a chunk.
01:09:12.000
That must be terrifying, though, when they bite down on you.
01:09:32.000
I was in my delusional stage that I'm Mike Tyson, I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet, and these lions and tigers are gonna know it too.
01:09:44.000
They acknowledged that I was inferior, and they just bounced me.
01:09:53.000
They're bigger now, so the tiger and the lion are fighting.
01:09:58.000
And for some reason, I don't know why the tiger's bigger, but the lion, the tiger's intimidated the lion a little, right?
01:10:08.000
So the lion's chasing the tiger, and the wall is here.
01:10:12.000
The lion goes right, the tiger goes right up the wall, boom!
01:10:34.000
He went right up that wall, walked right up the wall.
01:10:36.000
The thing about the male lions is they're just big to protect.
01:10:45.000
Did you ever hear about that island where the river broke off into a different direction and made this area an island in Africa?
01:10:54.000
And the lions that live there, all they have to eat is water buffalo.
01:10:59.000
So they have lions and water buffalo, and these lions have grown bigger than regular lions.
01:11:04.000
So the female lions that live there, they're as big as regular male lions.
01:11:10.000
Because all they do is, I think it's called Relentless Enemies, and all they do is hunt these buffaloes.
01:11:19.000
Look how beautiful they look when they're healthy.
01:11:21.000
Where the females are enormous because they have to take down...
01:11:26.000
That's how you can tell them they've been eating.
01:11:33.000
All they have to do is eat these giant-ass buffalo, which are impossible to take down.
01:11:44.000
The only ones that lived were the ones who were the descendants of the animals that are strong enough to kill the buffalo.
01:11:50.000
And so those are the ones that bred, and then within, you know, how many hundreds of years that this has been going on?
01:12:01.000
Normally when a white lion is born, they normally kill it and let it starve to death.
01:12:07.000
Yeah, one instance they found where they hunted for this white lion.
01:12:15.000
You come out in brown and green and white, everybody's going to see you.
01:12:27.000
So ordinarily you think they would kill it because it's too visual?
01:12:35.000
Even with tigers and lions, they see white that's scared to kill it.
01:12:55.000
Yeah, because they're not living in a snowy area like a polar bear or something like that.
01:13:18.000
In the jungle, you can see it, but in the snow, you can't.
01:13:50.000
The big ones are more lovey-dovey than the little ones.
01:13:54.000
Does that cat look like he wants to hug you and play with you?
01:14:08.000
That cat don't look cool, the guy holding him, right?
01:14:11.000
Go to that picture again with the guy holding him.
01:15:03.000
Yeah, it's a hard life being a small cat living in the wild.
01:15:07.000
That's true, but they live longer because they eat less.
01:15:11.000
They probably live longer, too, because they just stay out of conflict, just keep moving.
01:15:15.000
They're in a lot of conflict, believe it or not.
01:15:50.000
I love how fascinated you are in those ancient conquerors.
01:15:55.000
Those ancient historical figures are fascinating.
01:15:59.000
All these guys went to guys we thought they were.
01:16:02.000
Alexander the Great was probably smaller and shorter than Napoleon.
01:16:06.000
You hear these guys, you think they're big guys.
01:16:10.000
The biggest guy is the guy from Russia, Peter the Great.
01:16:18.000
Listen, one of the mummies, I forgot, one of them, he was 6'5".
01:16:33.000
The pyramids, and you go in there, you have to, it's around this big.
01:16:42.000
What do you think, when you see the pyramids, what the fuck do you think happened there?
01:16:48.000
How is it possible that someone could make something that big, that incredible, so many thousands of years ago?
01:16:58.000
I believe humans with conviction can do anything.
01:17:08.000
Well listen, believe it or not, all that we accomplished, we're really not that smart.
01:17:16.000
Listen, you know the caves in France where they got the writing?
01:17:27.000
But no, not only that, say what, 40,000 years ago, lines didn't have means.
01:17:33.000
They wrote lines, but they didn't paint the main.
01:17:39.000
And 40,000 years ago, France was attached to Africa.
01:17:45.000
In order to have lions in a cave in France, did he write what he saw in Africa and brought it to this cave?
01:17:51.000
Well, one thing I know for sure, Mike, is that a bunch of mammals died off, they think, around 12,000 years ago.
01:17:57.000
They think at the end of the Ice Age, there was a big die-off.
01:18:11.000
There was an American lion that was bigger than the African lion that was here that died off.
01:18:17.000
Yeah, there was a saber-tooth, too, but there was also another one that was an American lion.
01:18:21.000
It was a huge lion that lived here in North America.
01:18:27.000
Even horses were wild here at one point in time.
01:18:37.000
What do you think about animals and humans breeding?
01:18:40.000
I think if it was, there would be a lot of, like, half sheep, half horse, half dog people out there.
01:18:53.000
I'm worried about scientists doing something to DNA and making something that's not a person anymore.
01:19:00.000
If a scientist actually made a werewolf, a thing that's part human, part wolf, and said, listen, why would we risk human lives in war if we've all committed to just ground-on-ground combat?
01:19:20.000
I'm going to let the fucking real bomb off now.
01:19:26.000
That someone could let the real bomb go off again.
01:19:39.000
The real problem is the deterioration of all common decency and full chaos.
01:19:49.000
A lot of radiation poisoning, a lot of people dead from the initial blast, a lot of people dying from whatever's done to the water and the soil afterwards over the next 50 years.
01:20:10.000
No, I didn't meet Mr. Putin, but I met his, what was this guy's name?
01:20:44.000
It's a different culture and the history of that country is so brutal.
01:20:50.000
Well, you know, in order for them to be brutal, they had to have a heavier, stronger power to intimidate them.
01:20:56.000
The only way they could fight them is through, I don't know, what do they call that?
01:21:01.000
Man-to-man combat, use themselves as bombs and stuff like that.
01:21:06.000
How are you going to fight Moscow, your little small country like that, Chetania and stuff?
01:21:12.000
Remember they had the widows of the Chetanian warriors, the ones that sacrificed their life for Chetania, and they had the widows of them, and they kidnapped a bunch of people in the movie theater, and they released some kind of gas to kill the Chetanian warrior women,
01:21:31.000
and they killed all the people in the movie theater, too.
01:21:39.000
It's a rough fucking part of the world, and it always has been.
01:21:58.000
Hostage Crisis in Moscow Theater from 2002. Check it out.
01:22:05.000
So, October 23rd, 2002, 50 Chechen rebels storm a Moscow theater, taking up to 800 people hostage during a sold-out performance of a popular musical.
01:22:15.000
The second act of the musical, Nord Ost, was just beginning in the Moscow ball-bearing plant's Palace of Culture.
01:22:23.000
When an armed man walked on stage and fired a machine gun into the air.
01:22:27.000
The terrorists, including a number of women with explosives strapped to their bodies, identified themselves as members of the Chechen army.
01:22:34.000
They had one demand, that Russian military forces begin an immediate and complete withdrawal from Chechnya, the war-torn region located north of the Caucasus Mountains.
01:23:04.000
So it was a 57-hour standoff at this Palace of Culture, during which two hostages were killed.
01:23:10.000
Russian Special Forces surrounded and raided the theater on the morning of October 26. Later it was revealed that they had pumped a powerful narcotic gas into the building, knocking nearly all of the terrorists and hostages unconscious before breaking into the walls and roof and entering through underground sewage tunnels.
01:23:29.000
Most of the gorillas and 120 hostages were killed during the raid.
01:23:44.000
Saying only a complete surprise attack could have disarmed the terrorists before they had time to detonate their explosives.
01:23:52.000
They had to defend the decision to use the gas.
01:23:55.000
They killed more people than the terrorists did.
01:24:23.000
I see this Ukraine tragedy happening on television, and it's horrific, and it's crazy, and it's hard to watch, and you're like, why are we doing this?
01:24:32.000
It's 2022. I can't believe a real war is breaking out like this again in a new place.
01:24:37.000
But when we see it, one of the things that's blown me away is all these Ukraine fighters That have taken up arms.
01:24:46.000
Lomachenko, the Klitschko brothers, Usyk, all these guys that are like huge superstars.
01:24:53.000
They're putting on flak jackets and helmets and they're defending their country.
01:25:08.000
I don't imagine a world where that would be that common in America.
01:25:20.000
It started off as, I don't know, a business war, I guess, with Putin.
01:25:27.000
And then people got involved, we got involved, and it turned into a war of humanity.
01:25:42.000
I don't know anything, but I just know normally wars are started because somebody wants something that you possess.
01:25:50.000
And everybody got involved with it, so we made it a war of pretty much...
01:26:12.000
How much military activity is going on all over the world at any given time.
01:26:17.000
Imagine those third world countries where people are just eliminating other races of Muslims.
01:26:21.000
One Muslim is just eliminating this race of Muslims.
01:26:34.000
My friend Dave Smith is always talking about the bombing in Yemen.
01:26:37.000
And he's like, do you know what a horrific genocide is taking place in Yemen?
01:26:44.000
I'm like, well, try finding that in the news, man.
01:26:48.000
But one of the days, in the early days of the Russian-Ukraine war, someone put a graph up.
01:26:52.000
That showed how many bombings occurred, like how many, I don't know what you would call it when a drone detonates a missile.
01:27:00.000
Like how many of those happened in other parts of the world and how many of those happened in Russia?
01:27:04.000
I think how many Afghanistans got crushed with, what are those things you call, tanks.
01:27:13.000
Crushed everybody, but instantly crushed their lives.
01:27:19.000
There's no compassion in that part of the world.
01:27:23.000
Once the monster is let out, there's no compassion.
01:27:26.000
Right, and war has been going on there for so long now.
01:27:34.000
That's what's really insane when you think about a place like Iraq.
01:27:38.000
Iraq has a history that goes all the way back to ancient Babylon, ancient Sumer.
01:27:53.000
It's amazing to watch, because these are these beautiful ancient statues, and they dynamite them, and you're like, whoa.
01:28:01.000
They're threatened the humanity to those people.
01:28:04.000
I know, but it's like to not understand the value of something that's so ancient, so beautiful, and was created by people thousands and thousands of years ago.
01:28:25.000
Yeah, they think the Egyptians were skilled workers by the food that they ate and where they lived in.
01:28:34.000
Well, it kind of makes sense that it wasn't slavery because I'm sure there was some slavery, right?
01:28:41.000
But I mean, the actual construction of it is so skillful.
01:28:48.000
Like, it can't be off anywhere in any direction.
01:29:19.000
There's no cocaine that don't grow in that part of the world.
01:29:22.000
So, you know, they did a lot of traveling and trading.
01:29:35.000
Cocaine metabolites in pre-Columbian mummy here.
01:29:42.000
Eight Chilean mummies with dates ranging from 2000 BC to 1500 AD. I think there was an Egyptian mummy too though, Jamie, where they found some cocaine residue.
01:29:59.000
This one had, I believe, the Egyptian mummy with...
01:30:07.000
A 1992 German toxicologist, say that name, Svetlana Balabanova discovered traces of cocaine, hashish, and nicotine in Hanout Tawi's hair, I hope I'm saying that right, as well as on the hair of several other mummies in the museum.
01:30:33.000
I think they think there was something else that might have registered positive for cocaine.
01:30:41.000
I think the cocaine was when they did stuff for painless when they did it for the Painkills?
01:30:52.000
After these experiments, assuming the cocaine was actually found in the mummies, it's possible there could be contamination, which occurred after this discovery of the mummies.
01:31:04.000
Somebody got the mummy and then they did coke off a mummy?
01:31:17.000
If there's a dude who's like, bro, I bet you won't do coke off that mummy.
01:31:21.000
Matter of fact, I bet you won't sniff something with the mummy.
01:31:26.000
Yeah, maybe he was like doing a sacrifice to the mummy.
01:31:34.000
I read if you take some of the platelets from baby rats and stick it in older rats, they become younger.
01:31:53.000
But she did, you know, to her platelets and everything, she became younger and useful.
01:31:59.000
That's what I read too, but then someone told me that there's a real possibility that she was set up because they wanted her land.
01:32:08.000
And so what they did is they made it seem like she was some...
01:32:24.000
Like she would bathe in the blood of these young girls that she thought were attractive.
01:32:30.000
But then the thing is, if you do know that they were trying to get her land, that sounds like something someone would make up back then if you wanted to take someone's shit.
01:33:01.000
I thought about this, but I should have it all and you guys will be my butlers.
01:33:07.000
The powerful woman made more so far for her control of who this guy?
01:33:15.000
Giorgio Thurza, the Count Palestine of Hungary, was ordered by Matthias then King of Hungary to investigate.
01:33:25.000
The Count Palpatine determined after taking depositions from the people living in the area surrounding her estate that Bathory had tortured and killed more than 600 girls with the assistance of her servants.
01:33:45.000
The whole judicial system was down for this, man.
01:33:51.000
On December 30th, 1609, Bathory and her servants were arrested.
01:33:55.000
The servants were put on trial in 1611, and three were executed.
01:34:00.000
Although never tried, Bathory was confined to her chambers at the Castle Cachiche...
01:34:13.000
The fact that a large debt was owned by Matthias Two Bathory was canceled by her family in exchange for permitting them to manage her captivity suggests that the acts attributed to her were politically motivated slander that allowed relatives to appropriate her lands.
01:34:31.000
Women with landers, you know, they wouldn't Give her that much power, but women with land, they're going to take that stuff.
01:34:36.000
Yeah, so it says, documents from the 1611 trial supported the accusations made against her.
01:34:41.000
Modern scholarship has questioned the veracity of the allegations, because Bathory was a powerful woman, and made more so by her control of Nadasdi's holdings after his death.
01:34:57.000
And so, there was a lot of money involved, so Matias owed money to Bathory, and that money was cancelled out for permitting them to manage her captivity.
01:35:14.000
If it was really an old, rich lady killing young girls and bathing in their blood.
01:35:19.000
Hey, but listen, I saw the platelets of young rats make older rats younger.
01:35:25.000
When you put old rat blood in a young rat, they behave slowly and tired.
01:35:30.000
There was a thing that was going around that they were saying that billionaires, tech billionaires, were doing that.
01:35:37.000
And that they were getting young people, were donating blood, and they were getting young blood transfused into their blood.
01:35:46.000
And listen, I know any way a person could extend his life, he'll do it.
01:35:54.000
Especially if it changes the quality of your life.
01:35:59.000
Other than that, there would be no reason for doing it.
01:36:01.000
Well, you're still vulnerable to death, especially accidents and stuff.
01:36:08.000
According to this story in the BBC, it says there was 100 people that participated in a clinical trial in San Francisco.
01:36:16.000
Right, but there was an actual company that was advertising.
01:36:23.000
Because we'd heard like Peter Thiel or some of those rich billionaire type characters.
01:36:27.000
You know, that was always like the rumor that they were investing in these companies.
01:36:31.000
But listen, you know they took these guys that one time off the street and tried their psychedelics on them and see how it affects them and stuff.
01:36:42.000
He let people escape and know they'd be back in two hours because they'd be addicted to a certain kind of shitty...
01:36:51.000
You know, they had all kinds of creepy stories.
01:36:53.000
Well, we know for a fact the government did all kinds of crazy shit with LSD in like the 1950s and the 1960s.
01:36:59.000
They had all these MKUltra mind control experiences.
01:37:09.000
You know, that's the price you pay for greatness, right?
01:37:15.000
I think there's a certain dose where you really shouldn't cross a line.
01:37:24.000
And that's why when we take it, we get that response to it.
01:37:27.000
For sure, there's something, like one of the things they say about the strongest drugs, like the toad, like 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine, is that it's the most, all the really strong ones are the ones that are more closely related to the normal human neurochemistry, like the actual chemicals your brain makes,
01:37:58.000
Yeah, some of these animals are naturally toxic.
01:38:12.000
I think it's a thing in China they're doing, white cobra venom.
01:38:20.000
All the animals are descendants from actual gods.
01:38:31.000
The mind-altering agents such as tobacco, cannabis, and opium Wow.
01:39:13.000
Imagine getting so high you want to get high with snake venom.
01:39:23.000
They did it with a fungus that mimics LSD. They found that in their wine jars.
01:39:28.000
Apparently all the wine they had back then was mixed and stuff.
01:39:36.000
Some animals will eat us and pass out and then bug out.
01:39:39.000
Isn't it kind of rude that we use, that we take our bodies and make it like, use formaldehyde?
01:39:46.000
And then when you put it in the ground, it doesn't rot.
01:39:57.000
As soon as we go on the ground, we're going to be eating.
01:39:59.000
The bugs and rats are going to go on our skull and our eyes and everything.
01:40:04.000
Does lizard tail lacing heighten cannabis addiction?
01:40:08.000
There's another story I saw about a guy in jail that couldn't get weed, so he started drying and smoking lizard tails.
01:40:26.000
People will do anything to escape their current state of mind.
01:40:35.000
The cavemen fucking did something with grass and rocks.
01:40:39.000
Everybody did some kind of wine it was, I believe.
01:40:42.000
Even the cavemen had something they got high off of.
01:40:45.000
I'm sure there was all kinds of plants that you could eat that get you fucked up in some way.
01:40:59.000
I wonder how they first started using tobacco before they smoked it.
01:41:02.000
When you do tobacco, a good grade of tobacco...
01:41:16.000
That's why, that's why, I don't, nicotine's not good, but every now and then I need to roll a blunt, nigga.
01:41:34.000
Apparently, if you don't make cocaine out of it, you just chew the leaves.
01:42:01.000
There was a book that this guy wrote in the 1970s, a guy named John Marco Allegro.
01:42:07.000
He wrote a book on psychedelic mushrooms and Jesus.
01:42:11.000
It was called The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross.
01:42:14.000
And he was one of those guys that decoded the Dead Sea Scrolls.
01:42:19.000
So he was a scholar and he was also an ordained minister, but he became agnostic after he started reading all this biblical literature and stuff and realizing that a lot of these stories come from older and older stories.
01:42:29.000
So he reads this thing for 14 years and decodes it and he comes up with this theory that Christianity was really based around psychedelic mushrooms and fertility cults.
01:42:45.000
The word Jesus in this guy's translation of ancient Sumerian is a mushroom covered in God's semen.
01:42:53.000
But Jesus' story goes all the way back to Babylon.
01:43:00.000
The warrior who killed his wife fooled around him and they said the baby came from him and he's the seed of the god and so they made that into Jesus.
01:43:12.000
He thinks the origins of that story is all psychedelic mushrooms.
01:43:18.000
He thinks people, ancient people, found these psychedelic mushrooms and get connected to God.
01:43:24.000
And through eating them, they developed this moral and ethical framework of how to live.
01:43:29.000
God gave them visions of how to do things the right way.
01:43:33.000
And he thinks it all came from the consumption of these psychedelic mushrooms.
01:43:41.000
He wasn't like some Timothy Leary guy who was like off the deep end.
01:43:44.000
He was a straight-laced, sober academic who came up with this theory.
01:44:06.000
We're so much different than everything else that's here.
01:44:11.000
We're so far ahead of everything else that's here.
01:44:25.000
A wolf doesn't wonder, is being a wolf the right thing to do?
01:44:35.000
That's what separates us from animals, supposedly.
01:44:43.000
That separates the fox from all the other animals in the jungle.
01:45:08.000
So somehow or another, they're communicating with each other.
01:45:22.000
The amount of power they must have in their body must be insane.
01:45:27.000
To feel what it would feel like to wrestle with a 160 pound chimp, it would feel like they would just snap your arms right off.
01:45:39.000
Just the physical strength that something the size of a human has.
01:45:51.000
Imagine those ones they found in the Congo that are six feet tall.
01:46:04.000
They don't know if it killed a jaguar or if it just found a jaguar dead and started consuming.
01:46:12.000
He's the third biggest cat in the world, but he's a match for anything.
01:46:22.000
The jaguar's in South America, so it's a leopard.
01:46:28.000
They don't know if the chimp is still a big-ass cat.
01:46:32.000
These cats are hard to beat with these claws and these teeth.
01:46:41.000
It's a very controversial subject because there's not that many of them.
01:46:44.000
It's very hard to get where they are to study them.
01:46:51.000
They have all these things that indicate there's something different about these chimps.
01:47:14.000
If a dog gets bit by another dog, you go and check it, there's no blood.
01:47:20.000
Listen, the lions, they take chunks out you, man.
01:47:36.000
A big-ass chimp has thick skin like a cat does.
01:47:47.000
Do you think it's possible that human beings were, at least, our evolution was pushed along by something else?
01:47:56.000
Like, if evolution is real, do you think it's possible that something came down here and manipulated it?
01:48:04.000
Why did the animal and the people started getting smaller?
01:48:09.000
No, we used to be giants there with them, because they also have the Cyclops disease.
01:48:17.000
No, they have stories of human Cyclops, so they thought it was true.
01:48:26.000
In ancient times, there was a Cyclops disease when you're born with one eye.
01:49:05.000
You're talking to me when you're talking about this.
01:49:13.000
Yeah, cyclopia is derived from the Greek word cyclops, meaning ring-eyed.
01:49:17.000
It's a rare condition that causes a child to be born with one eye, no nose.
01:49:22.000
And a proboscis, a nose-like growth above the eye.
01:49:32.000
It's a severe malformation of the baby's brain early in the pregnancy.
01:49:38.000
So both of the cyclopia often results in miscarriage or stillbirth.
01:49:42.000
Survival after birth is mostly a matter of a few hours.
01:49:53.000
So say 10,000 years, 100,000 years, maybe they did something where they were able to be accepted into the world.
01:50:01.000
It says there's no way to prevent it and there's no cure.
01:50:05.000
Most cases of cyclopia are usually detected early if you receive the proper prenatal care.
01:50:10.000
So this is talking about humans to this day still get it.
01:50:15.000
What was the guy named that wrote the Trojan War?
01:50:21.000
Maybe there was a few that lived that were big.
01:50:30.000
I don't know if they're real skulls, but check them out.
01:51:00.000
Whatever it is to be a person, we're used to it, but it's not normal.
01:51:32.000
Skeleton weighs about 12 to 15% of your body weight.
01:51:52.000
But then if you're a weightlifter, I bet it's probably heavier.
01:51:59.000
It's just the fact that 20 pounds is holding all this shit.
01:52:03.000
And then all the joints and tendons and ligaments and shit.
01:52:07.000
How many times have you ever had to have surgery?
01:52:17.000
Only stitched up in these buttheads or something.
01:52:21.000
Oh, bust my lungs, shattered my back, and I still fight.
01:52:35.000
The doctor said, how long was your shoulder broken?
01:52:51.000
That was one of the craziest post-fight interviews ever, where you were explaining that you broke your back.
01:52:57.000
What I really meant was that my back was chipping away, that little by little it started chipping away.
01:53:05.000
Backs are a motherfucker, because as soon as they start going...
01:53:10.000
And the question is, you can't sit down too much, you gotta be active.
01:53:16.000
Once you keep sitting around the sciatica, if it comes down, I don't care how healthy you are, how much in shape it comes in when you sit too much, you're looking at home watching television.
01:53:29.000
I just thought of it right now when you said that.
01:53:31.000
I was like, goddamn, Mike would be great at yoga.
01:53:59.000
Listen, I can't even believe I did this for it.
01:54:07.000
Sometimes because it's a narcotic, a natural narcotic.
01:54:15.000
Hey, um, sometimes you forget to eat the whole day.
01:54:33.000
It's got to be good to give your digestive system a break every now and then.
01:54:37.000
I mean, it only makes sense that that's a good idea.
01:54:46.000
Human beings as a race, we eat too much as it is.
01:54:49.000
And not only do we eat too much, we eat what kills us quicker.
01:54:57.000
And in certain countries, only, you know, sell all that fat, all that product, like in sweeten or something.
01:55:03.000
You gotta eat all this stuff with all this magical motions and food products in there.
01:55:11.000
Yeah, all the shit that preserves things, all the weird stuff that gives people inflammation.
01:55:20.000
Yeah, some of these cultures, they ain't going to feed you all this fat and sugar stuff.
01:55:40.000
All those countries, those communist countries, they were all in shape.
01:55:44.000
They all won gold medals at the Olympics all the time.
01:55:51.000
You saw when they did the statistics on how many overweight Americans they are?
01:55:58.000
And the guys that don't even look overweight are overweight.
01:56:03.000
They're just all fat, even if they're not that big.
01:56:14.000
It's nothing wrong with doing it every now and then.
01:56:18.000
You know, when I was a little kid, we didn't have enough money to buy stuff.
01:56:29.000
You wouldn't believe America would do that to people.
01:56:33.000
It's no matter what you are, Puerto Rican, black, poor, white, there's no option to live for anything.
01:56:43.000
This is the only country that's like that, I believe.
01:56:48.000
Do you think it's people not understanding what it's like to be that poor?
01:57:02.000
They did this study with rats where Utopia, Rat Utopia, where they gave the rats all the food and all the space they want and all the women and sex they want, and they wind up all killing each other.
01:57:21.000
Because once they had everything they wanted, they'd break up in sets.
01:57:25.000
and groups and they start raping and fighting and killing each other and then they stop breathing and they just all die out.
01:57:40.000
It makes sense that the rats would need some sort of conflict.
01:57:43.000
There'd be the rats that are the aggressive ones here, the non-aggressive, and then there's a group of rats.
01:57:48.000
They're aggressive, but they only consider, they only think about being clean.
01:57:52.000
They stay clean, and they have aggressive ones too, but cleanliness is what you notice about them.
01:57:57.000
Then you have the victim mouse over there, then you have the aggressive, violent ones over here.
01:58:14.000
We definitely don't look at all animals the same way, right?
01:58:18.000
With rats, we feel like we're allowed to do experiments on them.
01:58:21.000
Like, if we do experiments on puppies, people get real mad.
01:58:26.000
They feel like monkeys are almost like you have to do it.
01:58:30.000
But they look at rats as, ugh, they're disgusting.
01:58:32.000
They don't look at them like nice, pretty, little white rats.
01:58:37.000
Because those are the rats they use, the nice little white rats.
01:58:41.000
Yeah, doing experiments on monkeys is hardcore.
01:58:43.000
The reason they do rats, because rats and roaches, they have the highest survival rate.
01:58:59.000
I'm talking about, from a survival basis, I'm talking about cats and stuff, hunting them, not human beings.
01:59:04.000
Even us involved, they're very difficult to kill.
01:59:07.000
Did you ever see that Netflix documentary around rats?
01:59:14.000
They're so intelligent, they'll send a young rat to check out something to see if it's poison.
01:59:20.000
And that guy goes over there and eats it, and they watch him, and if he dies, they go, mm-mm.
01:59:27.000
If they see a rooster they don't like, they rush him real quick and pluck him, and when he starts bleeding, once you start bleeding, all the other chickens start pucking you.
01:59:38.000
And if he's going to fight over a woman, he'll push you outside.
01:59:41.000
If you see the shadow of a hawk or something, he'll push you outside for the hawk.
01:59:53.000
They're a lot more clever than we ever thought they were.
01:59:55.000
Like when they started doing those intelligence tests on crows and ravens, they're like, holy shit!
02:00:01.000
Listen, how do you get a pigeon to fly from a thousand miles from here to there?
02:00:10.000
And you hold him there for five years and let him go and he goes back.
02:00:18.000
When you were flying those birds, did you ever wonder, like, how are they communicating?
02:00:49.000
I don't know how to explain it either, but I know what you're saying.
02:00:58.000
We almost electrocute each other every now and then.
02:01:08.000
I think they use the poles, like the magnetic poles.
02:01:17.000
How do you know to be responsible to take a whole petruna bird that's never been south and you're taking them south?
02:01:25.000
They've never been south before, but we're going south.
02:01:32.000
If they've all been in this one place breeding, now we gotta go south.
02:01:35.000
If it was one place hanging out, now we gotta go south and breed.
02:01:52.000
You still gotta come down and eat like everybody else.
02:02:04.000
Well, you gotta worry about shit swooping down on you, too.
02:02:08.000
Researchers have discovered a small spot on the beak of pigeons and some of the birds that contains magnetite.
02:02:15.000
Magnetite is a magnetized rock which may act as a tiny GPS unit for the homing pigeon by giving it information about its position relative to Earth's poles.
02:02:26.000
Researchers have also found some specialized cells in birds' eyes that may help them see magnetic fields.
02:02:35.000
It is thought that birds can use both the beak magnetite and the eye sensors to travel long distances over areas that do not have many landmarks, such as the ocean.
02:02:47.000
In humans, deposits of magnetite have been found in bones in our noses.
02:02:53.000
Do you think we use Earth's magnetic field to know which way we are headed?
02:02:59.000
Maybe that's something like the appendix that we grew out of.
02:03:11.000
Maybe it's something that, like, atrophies without use.
02:03:21.000
Their noses are, like, nine times stronger than a bloodhound.
02:03:31.000
Polar bear can smell seals and other animals up to nine kilometers, 5.6 miles away.
02:03:37.000
They can even smell the breathing holes seals create in the ice from almost one kilometer.
02:03:44.000
So although polar bear hunting ranges Can span several hundred miles.
02:03:50.000
Their sharp olfactory sense helps keep them fed.
02:03:54.000
So they smell for miles and miles and they know which way to go.
02:03:57.000
So if a polar bear has a period or if any animal's wounded or bleeding, 20 miles.
02:04:17.000
Sniff out a seal's den that has been covered in snow and even find a seal's air hole in ice up to one mile away.
02:04:27.000
Can you imagine that thing smelling a tiger fart?
02:04:42.000
A skunk, it only takes a few parts per million and you can smell a skunk.
02:04:50.000
When a skunk gets killed by a car in your neighborhood, everybody smells it for a mile away.
02:04:55.000
That's the only smell that we know that's like that.
02:04:59.000
And he was saying, now imagine that plus times 10 for everything.
02:05:05.000
He said a dog, like a bloodhound, can smell not just your cheeseburger, they can smell the ketchup, they can smell the pickles, they can smell the cheese, they smell the buns.
02:05:18.000
A bear is nothing but the dog of the fucking jungle.
02:05:31.000
It's a giant bear that lived, again, during the Ice Age.
02:05:35.000
And they think it might have even prevented people from crossing over that land bridge between Asia and North America.
02:05:51.000
They think it might have inhabited that area in between the two continents.
02:05:55.000
And they were so predatory that it would have prevented travel.
02:06:00.000
Yeah, well, you could tell he couldn't live long because he had to run it down.
02:06:06.000
Because everything else would be too small for him.
02:06:14.000
I mean, that's not built like a bear like we think of.
02:06:17.000
That short-faced bear, the way the length of the limbs, it looks like something that could run fast.
02:06:23.000
He's gonna do good in the prairie, but he's not gonna do good coming down the hills and going up mountains.
02:06:31.000
I don't know what he's going to do good at, but he's going to do good at eating people, I'll tell you that.
02:06:43.000
I mean, if you found out that something like that was out there killing everybody.
02:06:47.000
No, you find that you can stay warm from his coat.
02:06:58.000
You know, when all you have is, like, spears and...
02:07:00.000
What are those things called where they have, like, a spear...
02:07:25.000
And that's one of the weird things about human conflict, right?
02:07:28.000
You're talking about we always have to have some kind of conflict.
02:07:39.000
If you don't have nobody to fight, you find somebody to fight.
02:07:44.000
You gotta either make your own conflict, or you choose to do something, or cause conflict.
02:07:59.000
You see when nice people get real aggressive about certain issues that they care about.
02:08:04.000
You see they get, whether it's like a woman's right to choose, abortion rights.
02:08:09.000
Like nice people can say real, mean, horrible things if it's about that subject.
02:08:19.000
You know, I don't even want to say my daughter's a part of the unit.
02:08:30.000
I have a daughter that's in that, I don't know, what do you call it?
02:08:38.000
And I love how I respect her, so I respect the community.
02:08:45.000
She's a part of the community, and she's very aggressive, like you were saying.
02:08:49.000
I had a young man named Lil Bootsy, a young rapper.
02:08:54.000
You have to know, he has to curse a lot in his music and stuff, and he said something negative about Dwyane Wade's son.
02:09:02.000
I believe he has a gay son or something, and he said something disrespectful about him.
02:09:11.000
She lives in New York, She came from New York to Los Angeles because she knew I was interviewing this guy.
02:09:17.000
Came in the room and sat down and said, what do you think?
02:09:20.000
Who do you think you are to talk about people like that that don't even talk about you?
02:09:37.000
They come in here right now, your sister, your daughter come in here right now and looks at this guy and says, hey, who do you think you are?
02:09:51.000
Say something stupid and then I'm going to lose my job because I have to defend my daughter.
02:09:56.000
Even if she's wrong, I have to defend if this guy is disrespectful.
02:09:59.000
And I'm glad this guy was respectful enough and he was a dignified guy and had more respect than people thought he did.
02:10:08.000
It was just interesting to see somebody I brought in this world handle an issue.
02:10:16.000
Somebody that I love is willing to die for some issue.
02:10:24.000
But now I'm with these people without even wanting to be involved with this in a way.
02:10:35.000
You know, when your child asserts themselves in a way that's very powerful to them, like means a lot to them, it changes your thoughts of whatever that thing are.
02:10:46.000
My thoughts is that right or wrong, I'm just there to fight.
02:10:49.000
I don't care if they're right or wrong, I'm just there.
02:10:55.000
That would be the most terrifying situation ever.
02:11:09.000
I don't use the word bitch and stuff and like chick and broad and stuff if I'm around her.
02:11:19.000
Lady, I gotta say, him or her, it, whatever she tells me to say, this is what I say.
02:11:29.000
All the women on the price side of my family, who's my mother, they don't take no crap.
02:11:43.000
That's an interesting turn of events over the last few decades.
02:11:54.000
And the Chinese girl that was fighting said, Mike doesn't know nothing about boxing.
02:12:06.000
It's obvious that Mike Tyson doesn't know nothing about the fight game and this and that.
02:12:10.000
I wonder if she really said that, though, because someone had to translate that from Chinese.
02:12:36.000
She thought she was going to come kick Rose's pretty ass.
02:12:43.000
And when she was, before that fight, this was, I talked to her about it in the post-fight interview.
02:12:47.000
She was standing there while they're, like, introducing the fighters.
02:13:16.000
And then when I interviewed her afterwards, she goes, yeah, I am the best.
02:13:55.000
People don't understand fighting is so spiritual.
02:14:00.000
When you're expressing yourself in a fight, when you watch a perfect performance, the excited energy that spreads from people watching that all over the world.
02:14:11.000
If somebody watched one of your great knockouts, if you were watching it live, all these people watching together, this excited burst of energy goes through the whole world.
02:14:31.000
Was there one guy who you used to like to watch fight live?
02:14:40.000
I wasn't around in the 70s, but like in 79, 80, 81, 82. Shit.
02:14:49.000
Most people don't even know the Duran pre-welterweight.
02:14:52.000
They think of Duran as being welterweight, but the Ken Buchanan days.
02:15:08.000
When he went up in weight, he was out boxing these smack monsters like Hagler and these guys.
02:15:27.000
Well, even when he fought Davey Moore, people thought he was Davey.
02:15:33.000
When was I 18, I was 18 to 17, I was at that fight.
02:15:38.000
It was 82, 83. I didn't watch that fight live, because I was sad, because it was like post-Nomas.
02:15:45.000
Duran went through a period of darkness, right?
02:15:50.000
Davey Moore at the time had like 9 fights, 10 fights.
02:16:04.000
Listen, it was nothing but 19,850 Latinos, okay?
02:16:17.000
Only 500 people, probably 200 people weren't Latino, okay?
02:16:30.000
Yeah, Hagler, Leonard, Tommy Hearns, and Duran.
02:16:36.000
And they followed their career, they followed their ascension.
02:16:45.000
Well, I mean, maybe if you stirred the right amount of money around...
02:16:48.000
But listen, Duran and Hearns, they made more money than the welterweights do now.
02:16:58.000
These welterweights, nobody in this welterweight gets $20 million fights.
02:17:01.000
Probably Pacquiao, but nobody in here gets that kind of money like Lyndon and Duran got.
02:17:14.000
Like, if that would be possible, if you had a tournament that would get together like Terrence Crawford, Errol Spence, all these guys, I mean Pacquiao's kind of, I think he's retired.
02:17:25.000
He can still fight and still beat some of these guys.
02:17:35.000
And he dropped him with a right hand, a sneaky right hand.
02:17:37.000
The guy that he fought, that guy was just awkward, long arms and stuff.
02:17:50.000
But this guy's just one of those Cuban fighters.
02:17:57.000
This guy's going to give Spence some problems, too, I think.
02:18:00.000
Spence might hit him on the chin and he's knocking cold.
02:18:11.000
Well, he did go through that crazy car accident.
02:18:57.000
The average person who doesn't know how to drive that good can get themselves in trouble real quick with one of those.
02:19:03.000
I've gotten so many speeding tickets in my life.
02:19:10.000
You see them with their Porsche and my Ferrari.
02:19:19.000
You can get cars today that are just so fucking fast.
02:19:26.000
Say I want a really nice car, a really nice sports car.
02:19:36.000
So I buy one of these super Aston Martin cars that they don't have to spec for in the United States.
02:19:43.000
So I get this dealer place so I could drive this car that's illegal in the States, but if I put dealer place on it, I can drive it.
02:19:52.000
If I got dealer plates, I could take this car that has no specs and drive it in this country, that's illegal just because I have the plates.
02:20:00.000
You know what's another crazy thing you can do?
02:20:01.000
I can't own the car to drive it in the country.
02:20:06.000
So you could be from another country and have other countries' plates and drive around cars in America.
02:20:15.000
They buy Lamborghinis and they have all these diplomat plates on them.
02:20:34.000
And so I said when I come home and buy one of these.
02:21:18.000
I moved to Burnoutsville, New Jersey, and the first guess I get is Malcolm Forbes.
02:21:25.000
He's my first, you know, he welcomes me to the neighborhood.
02:21:27.000
He comes up, and he comes up with this truck, and I say, what is that?
02:21:35.000
It only costs money, and you have a lot of that.
02:21:43.000
I saw Jamie Foxx drives one of those crazy trucks.
02:21:49.000
What are those new ones that everybody's driving around that look like spaceships?
02:22:02.000
I pulled into a gas station and I'm filling my car and this thing pulls in and Jamie Foxx gets out of it.
02:22:18.000
I think some of it is from Jeep and then they redid the whole thing and they sell them.
02:22:25.000
They sell them, they do all kinds of wacky shit, like they spray smoke out of the back of them.
02:22:31.000
Hey, listen, listen, I was the first guy that had a car, boom, I pressed a button, got tax come out, big tax, give you flats and shit.
02:22:39.000
I pressed a button, I got a smoke screen come out.
02:22:44.000
Anybody, I had the iron tax come out to get the cops slapped the tires and everything.
02:22:56.000
I could put oil on the floor to make the car slip.
02:23:03.000
Radiated from a nuclear explosion and rendered electronic devices inoperable.
02:23:09.000
They're talking about surviving a nuclear explosion in your Jeep?
02:23:21.000
They're the only one that can see that the bear is not white.
02:23:24.000
You see his white coat, it's not, it's ever-vescent.
02:23:26.000
I forgot what the word, ever-vescent, and the deer can see it.
02:23:29.000
That's why when they cover the nose, he covers his nose only for the seals and stuff, but the deer can see his fur.
02:23:47.000
Because the polar bear is really black, you know, right?
02:24:05.000
And there's so much of it that's stacked on top, it looks white.
02:24:08.000
And then it covers all of the body because it's amazing insulation.
02:24:12.000
Apparently the hairs on a polar bear are very different.
02:24:28.000
I mean, they dive underwater and get seals and shit and come out with them.
02:24:40.000
It's a scary-ass animal because polar bears are one animal where they see you, they're coming to kill you.
02:24:51.000
Some grizzly bears will, but some of them will avoid you.
02:24:55.000
They eat grass, and they eat berries, and they eat fruit, and they eat dead animals, and then they eat animals that they catch.
02:25:13.000
This friend of mine is very smart and he you know he talks about every he goes everybody's worried about global warming he goes it's definitely something you should be concerned about he goes but you know what you should really be concerned about global cooling he goes because if the world gets too warm he goes we can survive if the world gets too cold we're fucked we can't grow any food but eventually you will maybe it has I believe so it has I believe so This whole fucking country was covered in a mile-high sheet of ice.
02:25:44.000
It's like half of the country, half of North America 12,000-plus years ago was covered in ice.
02:25:59.000
A community, so to speak, was under the ice in the South Pole.
02:26:07.000
I think any time you got like a community that lives by the ocean, that ocean moves, man.
02:26:13.000
I mean, especially over history, thousands of years of people being alive, that fucking thing moves.
02:26:18.000
Yeah, because France, like we were saying before, like 40,000 years was attached to Africa.
02:26:25.000
The ocean must have flooded or something, but it used to be connected.
02:26:28.000
There's places in Montana where you can find seashells.
02:26:33.000
And there was apparently a great inland sea all throughout Montana.
02:26:37.000
In Montana, don't you find all those prehistoric animals there?
02:26:48.000
Yeah, they find all kinds of wild old shit up there.
02:26:53.000
When they find something, you realize, oh, this is an animal that lived 25 million years ago.
02:27:00.000
And sometimes you see the ancestors of it that's living now.
02:27:07.000
Or when they go way back and they find actual dinosaurs, you find things that are 150, 250 million years old.
02:27:24.000
How do we tell somebody that knows something we don't know?
02:27:28.000
The people that don't know is only at the mercy to the people that know, right?
02:27:35.000
And then I go to this guy and I say, hey, look it up on YouTube.
02:27:43.000
I think the way they do it, I think it's called, it's carbon, carbon testing.
02:27:47.000
Yeah, but you look at the trees, you see the rings.
02:27:50.000
I think they take a piece of it and then they measure the amount of carbon.
02:27:55.000
They do that because they don't know and they tell you this is how we tell.
02:27:58.000
I think they can only tell within a large, it's not like they can tell the week that this thing was put in the ground.
02:28:05.000
They can tell you within X amount of years, and they just guess based on how much carbon is still in the object.
02:28:15.000
Things have a base level of carbon, apparently.
02:28:27.000
They're telling me because I'm at the mercy of them so they're gonna tell me something and I'm gonna say yeah it's true because I'm at that mercy.
02:28:34.000
I don't have to believe it because I'm not astute to it.
02:28:40.000
I could be an idiot but it could still be wrong.
02:28:43.000
What I'm willing to listen to is the process in which they figured out how to measure how much carbon is in a thing, and then how they figured out that if you applied that, the things that you knew were a certain amount of age old, you could get sort of a formula to calculate how old things are.
02:29:07.000
Who was the first dick to come in my family that led up to me?
02:29:14.000
Since the beginning of time, the first person, who was that?
02:29:28.000
I don't think a couple of hundred thousand a year.
02:29:31.000
I'm talking about when it was on the book, we were human.
02:29:34.000
I think Homo sapiens, I think you're looking at like a half a million years.
02:29:44.000
But then we had to go to the mungular time, munguloids.
02:29:47.000
Yeah, well there's also, that's coexisting with Neanderthals, coexisting with those hobbit people on the island of Flores.
02:30:11.000
They put a rope around his neck and drug him into the darkness.
02:30:16.000
They probably ate him and fucked him and did all kinds of shit.
02:30:25.000
Steve-O? Steve-O. You ever see Steve-O... Steve-O's with some indigenous people and they're trying to eat him.
02:30:41.000
But yeah, that North Sentinel Island, that's a crazy story.
02:30:45.000
I wonder what's in that, you know, in the corridor, what they have there, who they're eating, what they're doing, how they function.
02:30:55.000
I know, but they know to fucking shoot you with a bow and arrow.
02:30:58.000
Yeah, they know to shoot you with a bow and arrow, but I think they're worried about, I think they've been fucked with historically.
02:31:10.000
That's why they kill us, because they say, all of a sudden, we get next to these guys, we die!
02:31:15.000
Well, they probably have stories about people who visited and got people sick.
02:31:18.000
Listen, they went there one time and they took a couple of them, kidnapped, and they started dying, and so they sent them back.
02:31:31.000
Yeah, we were just talking about this, that 90% of the people in North America were dead because of viruses.
02:31:38.000
When the Europeans showed up, it killed everybody.
02:31:42.000
And syphilis comes from skin disease, from not being...
02:31:49.000
And then we started becoming more hygienic and started getting clean and it started dying.
02:32:06.000
And then it wanted to survive because people started living cleanly.
02:32:09.000
And it wanted to survive so it went into a vaginal.
02:32:15.000
You should look at the history of venereal diseases.
02:32:18.000
I always look at the history of stuff and it blows my mind.
02:32:21.000
I've always wondered, because it's a crazy thing to have diseases that specifically come through sex.
02:32:26.000
It's kind of crazy, and it's how many of them kill people.
02:32:30.000
It's a way by checking our animalistic tendencies.
02:32:37.000
Give us a disease that makes fucking dangerous.
02:32:44.000
Do you know about the whole powdered wig thing?
02:32:48.000
You know those old dudes in ancient times where they wore that because of syphilis?
02:32:55.000
I thought rats and stuff got in those guys' heads.
02:32:59.000
But the guy who started it off, it's attributed to these two French...
02:33:10.000
And when they started getting syphilis, their hair was falling out.
02:33:15.000
And so this is what would happen to these people's heads.
02:33:23.000
So the more money you had, the bigger the wig was.
02:33:27.000
So that's why the term big wig, that's where it came from.
02:33:30.000
The term big wig goes back to when these European men were all getting syphilis.
02:33:39.000
Listen, Sicilis is nothing now, but before it was a dead man's disease.
02:33:59.000
But it's just crazy that there's so many diseases like that that just come from fucking.
02:34:08.000
I think it's just a natural form of trying to check us.
02:34:16.000
It just may make sense that something like that would eat.
02:34:21.000
Listen, have you ever listened to how life was and sex was at Roman time?
02:34:46.000
I think he started having a moral check on people.
02:34:52.000
He was a philosopher warrior after he won all the wars and killed everybody.
02:35:08.000
But this is a bloodthirsty monarch that's telling us this.
02:35:22.000
You know, the wild thing about Rome, particularly like the Roman emperors and the Roman Colosseum, is you could still go there today and stand on the very ground where the Colosseum was.
02:35:36.000
Did you go underground with the animals and the warriors?
02:35:40.000
The animals would come up on, like elevators, would rise up, they'd pull them on pulleys, they'd pull up to the top, and there would be a warrior waiting with a shield and a sword to fight off a tiger.
02:35:50.000
The Gladiates back there was the equivalent of MMA fighters and fighters now.
02:36:02.000
They still wanted to fight until they died in the arena because they loved the attention they got.
02:36:11.000
I don't know if they showed the ancient times how people lived.
02:36:13.000
They had a couch, had a little table, and they had a picture of a warrior up there.
02:36:18.000
It's like we might have a fighter or something.
02:36:19.000
They had a warrior take the, you know, chisels in the wall.
02:36:27.000
They had their hats to get high on the table and stuff.
02:36:30.000
It was just more ruthless than today because life was more ruthless.
02:36:35.000
Life was slaves and so everybody owned everybody.
02:36:38.000
You know what someone said to me too about the Spartans?
02:36:41.000
He was saying if you were a Spartan and you were a 30 year old man people were suspicious of you.
02:36:54.000
The best ones, the ones that won their freedom and just kept fighting, they were all vegans and vegetarians.
02:37:04.000
The amount of meat they had almost doesn't exist.
02:37:09.000
Oh, that's because they were feeding all the gladiators, they were feeding them like a gruel.
02:37:22.000
Not all of them won their freedom, but the best ones had no meat.
02:37:30.000
But I wonder how much they got of meat, how much they ate if they filled their bellies with grain and bread.
02:37:38.000
Very rarely the slaves ate with me, unless your master loved you, treated you special, you were the sellout or something, you know how that stuff is.
02:37:46.000
Yeah, I would imagine that's why people were so small back then too, right?
02:37:51.000
Yeah, but there were a lot of disease infested back then.
02:37:59.000
So diseases must have just ran rampant through people.
02:38:02.000
You know, I talked to this guy, Dr. Peter Hotez.
02:38:08.000
And he told me that in jungle climates, like in the Amazon and places like anywhere you got a jungle climate, he goes, almost everybody has parasites.
02:38:25.000
But he's basically saying that it's almost unavoidable to get parasitic infections when you're in these tropical climates.
02:38:33.000
And you're dealing with a situation, like we talk about the cynical people, and what, 40,000 years, something like that, no one ever had a pap smear?
02:38:42.000
They've been there for 40,000 years, and no one got a pap smear.
02:39:27.000
You don't realize he's Googling this shit with one hand.
02:39:29.000
But, you know, in slavery times, people have slaves to think for them.
02:39:37.000
They had slaves to remind them that they're human.
02:39:43.000
You know, because sometimes people tell them they're gods and they're starting to believe in their slave job is to remind them that they're human.
02:39:48.000
Yeah, could you imagine being a king back then?
02:40:01.000
Imagine being Henry VIII. Killing your ex-wives.
02:40:11.000
I mean, you can imagine you get divorced with a lady, you just cut her head off.
02:40:14.000
Hey, but listen, imagine what he's seen in his family before he was king.
02:40:19.000
Imagine how many people in his family died before he could become king.
02:40:22.000
But what's crazy is that's like normal king behavior.
02:40:25.000
Like, when you talk about someone like Henry VIII or any ancient dictator that did horrible things to people, It's normal.
02:40:35.000
It's normal that these kings treated their people in terrible ways.
02:40:46.000
Napoleon said this to his mother because his mother was mad because he don't suck up enough.
02:40:50.000
He don't know how to suck up the kings, royal people and stuff.
02:40:52.000
And he said, Mom, there will always be kings, even if they go by different names.
02:41:06.000
A successful rapper, that's another name for king.
02:41:09.000
You know, a successful guy, like Mike Tyson Fury, those kind of guys, that's another name for king.
02:41:15.000
Yeah, it is kind of, he's like the king of, yeah, he's a gypsy king.
02:41:22.000
Entrepreneur, tech, but he's just another word for king.
02:41:26.000
It's the same mindset, the same, like, position of power.
02:41:33.000
You know, when you look at Henry the Ace and stuff, that's life.
02:41:50.000
You say, you go to him, Jamie, what's going on today?
02:41:53.000
Well, he'll say, well, John came in late today.
02:42:00.000
You want to know everybody, what they're doing.
02:42:08.000
That's true, but over here, fortunately, everything runs so smooth, I don't have to have any of those conversations.
02:42:15.000
But you're a king, and you're responsible for that.
02:42:19.000
You don't have to have the conversation, but that's on you.
02:42:26.000
Yeah, well, I've been a peasant for many years.
02:42:30.000
I understand what it's like to be real broke and poor.
02:42:34.000
I was thinking about that today while I was washing my car today.
02:42:37.000
I was thinking, man, I never want to work for a fucking car wash.
02:42:43.000
If you were poor, you'd never be where you are now.
02:42:46.000
I just didn't have any money, and I was just young.
02:42:50.000
You always feel weird about people working for you, and it seems strange.
02:42:58.000
I don't care how much money you have, you can't escape poverty.
02:43:02.000
I mean, it was horrible at the time, but being a child and being on welfare...
02:43:10.000
But that's why when those kind of subjects come up, I'm so adamant that we need some sort of a social net for people to help people if they're broke.
02:43:20.000
Because it's not a baby's fault that his mother doesn't have any money.
02:43:25.000
It's not the child's fault that he was born into the world.
02:43:36.000
But shouldn't there be at least a method for them to eat?
02:43:44.000
If I see some free lunches and it's too close, I take their free lunch.
02:43:53.000
It's interesting because you're one of the few people that could get away with saying that.
02:43:57.000
Yeah, yeah, because you were the fittest, you know what I'm saying?
02:44:08.000
You just take me with it and just drop me there.
02:44:32.000
Yeah, I don't look at myself as somebody special.
02:44:35.000
These people just haven't been talking to the right person.
02:44:39.000
That right person hasn't ignited their fucking ego.
02:44:42.000
So they're just not far enough down the path of being that in whatever they do.
02:44:50.000
Because once you reach the right mentor, you don't want to be away from him.
02:44:56.000
Isn't that interesting how much inspiration you get from a mentor?
02:44:59.000
I had that with martial arts instructors when I was a kid.
02:45:02.000
My appreciation and my love for them was unsurpassed.
02:45:11.000
And for you to be a 13-year-old kid and just all the pieces aligned, not only did he have an amazing style that he could teach you in a style that was uniquely effective for you, the way you fought, but he could hypnotize you.
02:45:31.000
He affected my mind where I thought I was superior than other people and I was ordained by God to be this person.
02:45:38.000
He has had my mind screwed up and there's no way I can lose if I lose it because God is jealous this particular night.
02:45:50.000
You could say that he affected your mind, but he didn't.
02:45:56.000
He made you become that perfect version of what you could be.
02:46:01.000
Everything that you could have done at 20 years of age to be that elite, you did.
02:46:06.000
You were as good as you could have been in that body.
02:46:14.000
I mean, you could say he messed with your mind, but he really didn't.
02:46:26.000
And it has to do with a lot of the belief system.
02:46:34.000
To have a guy that understands psychology so much and get you when you were so young.
02:46:39.000
Get you at 12 years of age and start coaching you and mentoring you.
02:46:52.000
Teddy Atlas said that when he would bring you to Smokers when you were 13, kids wouldn't believe you were 13. No, listen.
02:47:02.000
They're like, he's 16. There was a gentleman named John Connor.
02:47:04.000
He controlled the kid glove situation where you're 12, 13, 14. And I had to count.
02:47:11.000
I'm from New York, but he said, no, you're from upstate.
02:47:14.000
But I'm born in Brooklyn because the kids wouldn't go into the tournament.
02:47:17.000
If I entered the tournament, nobody would enter, so they'd see no fight.
02:47:21.000
They would ban me from tournaments when I was a kid.
02:47:27.000
I used to boxing professional fighters when I'm 13 and 12. These guys, I'm hitting arms.
02:47:32.000
The mother and father, they try to sue the system.
02:47:56.000
If it wasn't a street fighter, if it wasn't a professional fighter, I would have been a street fighter.
02:48:01.000
Who was the first person to ever show you how to throw a punch correctly?
02:48:14.000
I would smoke cigarettes before weed, but I'm smoking and I'm watching them shadow box.
02:48:18.000
When I'm getting out, I'm smoking weed at around 8, and I'm watching this guy at 9. Yeah, I'm watching him shadow box.
02:48:25.000
And one day, this guy killed my bird, and I was fighting this guy.
02:48:28.000
And I remember him skipping when he was shadow box.
02:48:36.000
Even if I had a kid in the street, I started shit skipping.
02:48:45.000
I didn't know I was skipping, but I was just copying.
02:48:59.000
So when you watched him shadowbox, did you just copy it or did he show you?
02:49:14.000
No, I don't say, once I got interest in something, I fucking destroy it.
02:49:33.000
The movement is so interesting, Mike, because everybody knows that head movement is important.
02:49:39.000
Everybody knows that Canelo has real good head movement, but There's only really been one heavyweight that had the kind of head movement like you did.
02:49:48.000
Listen, that's when boxing's not fun when you're getting hit a lot.
02:50:14.000
He loved that his fighters were good looking and didn't have scars.
02:50:17.000
Matter of fact, he loved when his fighters looked like me.
02:50:19.000
If you'd ever saw me fight, you would never think I was a fighter.
02:50:33.000
Well, it was the style, that peekaboo style and the bobbin' and weavin', you were so hard to hit and you would punish people for mistakes.
02:50:40.000
So it wasn't just that you were slipping a punch, it's you were slipping a punch and a left hook from hell is coming right behind it.
02:50:50.000
It's like we've seen a bunch of different styles of heavyweights, but what's crazy is from your rise to today, there's no one really who fights in your style, which is kind of interesting, right?
02:51:01.000
I just wanted to be somebody, and I wanted the greatest to know my name.
02:51:04.000
I want a guy like Ali, Durant to know who I was.
02:51:11.000
But what's interesting is that, like, your style was so effective, but there's not a heavyweight out there that fights like you, which is interesting because...
02:51:19.000
Because that's a complicated style when you really think about it because it's more like karate than boxing.
02:51:34.000
Because instead of a Larry Holmes style where you're behind a strong jab and you're boxing...
02:51:49.000
It's like every mistake that anybody made had grave consequences.
02:51:52.000
Listen, the whole thing is you have to take risks, too.
02:51:55.000
In order for fights to be exciting, people have to take risks.
02:51:59.000
If you're watching two guys fight, they're not taking risks.
02:52:08.000
That's why the Tommy Hearns-Marvin Hagler fight was so great.
02:52:19.000
But fighting's good when you're not getting hit and you're hitting the guy.
02:52:24.000
What's fascinating to me is how effective you were.
02:52:27.000
There's a part of the people forget how effective you were with your head movement.
02:52:32.000
You were so hard to hit, and when people were swinging at you, the counters were so dangerous.
02:52:44.000
I'd rather fucking win and get no fucking money.
02:52:52.000
Because the feeling of winning is so much better.
02:53:04.000
When you really stop and think about what you were able to accomplish, it's pretty wild, man, because you changed boxing in a lot of ways.
02:53:11.000
You made the heavyweight division exciting again.
02:53:13.000
There was a long lull where people didn't appreciate Larry Holmes because he came after Ali.
02:53:19.000
He's like the most underappreciated heavyweight of all time.
02:53:34.000
When, you know, you watch some of his fights, like Jerry Cooney knockout.
02:53:40.000
After he fought me, he almost beat a van to hold us in.
02:53:49.000
I was so happy that I fought him his first fight.
02:53:52.000
It would have been different after he had 10 or 15 other fights now, because he was good after the fight.
02:53:59.000
You know what's interesting, Mikey said, as long as you were in jail, he'd keep fighting.
02:54:07.000
He's like, as long as Mikey's not around, I'll keep fighting.
02:54:13.000
I really admire him and look up to him so much.
02:54:22.000
Larry Holmes had one of the greatest jabs ever.
02:54:26.000
No, he was totally underappreciated because he came.
02:54:32.000
Ali had the effect on people like unbelievable.
02:54:35.000
Everybody loved Ali, so it was so hard to accept Larry Holmes after he beat up Ali in front of everybody.
02:54:43.000
It's too bad because if Ali didn't exist or if Larry Holmes didn't have to beat him to become a champion, if Ali had just retired and Larry Holmes came and fought somebody else and became the champ, people would appreciate how good he was.
02:54:58.000
But damn, later in his life, he was in his 40s, he was having great boxing matches.
02:55:06.000
I guess he was like, fuck it, I can still do it.
02:55:17.000
When you look at the heavyweight division today, it's such a different landscape than back in your day.
02:55:26.000
There's a lot of talent there that should be fighting one another.
02:55:30.000
They just keep fighting each other over and over.
02:55:32.000
All the top five guys just keep fighting each other.
02:55:40.000
They hear about them, but they don't Is it just that it's hard to get these fights scheduled?
02:55:48.000
Listen, if I don't fight him, I'm not fighting.
02:56:03.000
I don't know, but most people believe if they lose, they're over.
02:56:10.000
Well, some guys have been able to come back from rough losses and still gain the public's attention.
02:56:23.000
The reason why people don't appreciate you is because you haven't gave your breath.
02:56:29.000
You have made all this money, you got all this fame, and this is how much you're going to give, Carl.
02:56:39.000
Everybody know you're only going to give him five fucking miles, Mike.
02:56:44.000
You know, he'd say, well, you know, God gave you all this.
02:56:47.000
All this stuff he gave you, you can't give him five rounds, six rounds, eight rounds.
02:56:55.000
With all the talent you have and you just can't give it an extra round, you don't got another round in your mind, give me a break, okay?
02:57:08.000
Well, you need, for a guy like me, with low self-esteem and stuff like that, I need to hear that I'm God.
02:57:15.000
You know, if I don't hear that, I think that I'm not going to no ring.
02:57:20.000
Was the first time beating people in matches, as an amateur, was that the first times where you felt really good about accomplishments?
02:57:35.000
My first fight ever, I knocked the guy out and I stepped on him like this.
02:57:51.000
Listen, I'm really into that gangster warrior mentality, savage stuff.
02:58:07.000
Listen, I'm into that gang, that warrior mentality.
02:58:10.000
I mean, since I was a kid, I'm stepping on people in the ring.
02:58:13.000
And I don't talk to people when I'm in the ring.
02:58:15.000
People be saying, hey, you look good the last fight.
02:58:25.000
No one likes me because I didn't talk to anybody.
02:58:27.000
Before a fight, people say, great fight last night.
02:58:31.000
Just look at him, because this is what happened to me.
02:58:33.000
One day a guy came up to me and said, great fight last night.
02:58:44.000
He came over here and said, congratulations for my fight last night.
02:58:58.000
And then Cus goes to the guy, hey, don't ever talk to my fighter again.
02:59:04.000
He was paranoid because before he had fighters, people stole his fighters.
02:59:09.000
So he thought that blew his mind, so he think all his fighters are going to leave him.
02:59:19.000
He thought everybody was going to steal his fighters.
02:59:21.000
He just blew his mind about people stealing his fighters.
02:59:32.000
When you see the heavyweight division today, the Usyk versus Joshua match, that's a very interesting fight to me.
02:59:41.000
Listen, Tyson's going to have to wear him down.
02:59:44.000
He can't, because the guy is moving, moving, and all that stuff.
03:00:08.000
That's because Dante Wilder, he's going to be aggressive trying to knock him out.
03:00:24.000
Having a hard punch is like having a nuclear war, but it don't serve no military value if it doesn't land on its target.
03:00:41.000
He has that amateur boxer stuff, mess guys like Joshua up, because there's too much movement, singing, and all that stuff.
03:00:56.000
That's why he's dangerous, Josh, because he's still fucking learning.
03:00:59.000
Well, he definitely made an adjustment after the Andy Ruiz fight, right?
03:01:02.000
He lost to Ruiz the first fight, come back, won a clear unanimous decision in the second fight.
03:01:13.000
Yeah, I think I'm fascinated to see how that fight goes down.
03:01:21.000
See, Joshua has to know how to throw more points.
03:01:26.000
Jabba's got to constantly be out there and he's got to turn it into something.
03:01:40.000
Joshua needs to pick up the pace a little, not much.
03:01:54.000
But he comes back from every fight that he's had better.
03:01:58.000
One of the most impressive ones was he knocked out Klitschko.
03:02:07.000
But Klitschko dropped him first and he came back and stopped him.
03:02:28.000
I guess maybe because English people are so behind him, we got caught up in the bandwagon too, but Americans expect a lot out of Joshua for some reason.
03:02:40.000
Oh, after boxing, he's going to have a beautiful life after boxing because he's beautiful.
03:02:51.000
The Tyson Fury fight, to me, that's a real interesting one.
03:02:55.000
Those two guys, that's a real interesting fight to me.
03:03:03.000
And his movement, I mean, he's got such a nice jab.
03:03:08.000
And he's so good at, like, using distance and clinching.
03:03:13.000
It's just weird to take him serious because he doesn't take the fighting seriously.
03:03:23.000
But Mike, doesn't it take a certain amount of crazy to be the best?
03:03:35.000
What fighter comes in the ring with Patsy Cline crazy unless he's losing?
03:03:44.000
He's trying to let the people know I'm fucking losing my mind.
03:03:48.000
This heavyweight championship's not the way I thought it was.
03:03:58.000
Everybody that wore that title got a story to tell.
03:04:13.000
You know, if certain people were living in biblical times, they would be prophets.
03:04:18.000
Like, if he was in biblical times, he would be a prophet and stuff.
03:04:35.000
Listen, David's known for the father of Israel.
03:04:43.000
He created the whole nation, but what is he known for?
03:04:48.000
He's done so many great things, but the only thing he's known for, if you're not a scholar really, the only thing you know David for is killing Goliath.
03:04:59.000
He created a whole nation, but he's known for a fight.
03:05:06.000
Yeah, slingshot and then he chopped his head off.
03:05:09.000
Yeah, there's always throughout history there's been the best fighter and they were one of the most revered people in society.
03:05:20.000
There's a thing about a heavyweight title fight where you know, whether it's in MMA or it's in boxing, you know that is the elite of the elite as far as fighting.
03:05:30.000
It's as good as people are alive today in 2020. Listen, someone told me that you could work in Tesla, the head corporation in Tesla.
03:05:41.000
If a fight goes down in the lobby, the whole everybody's left their room, they're watching the fight.
03:05:55.000
Especially if you're watching two people argue and then it escalates and then you know the fists are going to fly.
03:06:00.000
Isn't it, how funny is it to you to watch people who have no idea how to fight and they're willing to get into fights?
03:06:11.000
Because you have no idea how much pain you're going to be in in a few minutes.
03:06:15.000
You have no idea until that pain happens to really start to increase, and you just say, what the hell happened?
03:06:23.000
When you see those videos of people who don't know how to fight, and they pick a fight with someone who's a trained fighter, and they get knocked out, and you realize what a horrible mistake it was for that person to do that?
03:06:32.000
No, the person that hurt him should have realized during the situation, this guy's not in my league.
03:06:38.000
Well, not all the time you can do that, but certain times you see this guy, he's not in my league, don't hurt him.
03:06:43.000
Unless your ego's flaring up and you want to stop this guy in front of a lot of people.
03:06:56.000
Maybe he's really not, and you kill him by accident.
03:07:05.000
You just push him or hit him and hit something.
03:07:13.000
A friend of mine was working as a bouncer in Long Island, and his buddy at the bar accidentally killed a guy.
03:07:23.000
The guy went unconscious, fell back, hit his head, died.
03:07:29.000
He never hit nobody in his life, but this guy owed the money.
03:07:39.000
I shot the guy in the foot because you got to shoot these guys because they won't pay you.
03:07:43.000
I've been there for shooting the guy in the foot and he died.
03:07:51.000
I don't know, I think it's probably what happened.
03:07:59.000
When you're in places like that, you realize that a lot of people don't have a lot of emotional control over themselves.
03:08:06.000
A lot of people are in there for love or money or something.
03:08:13.000
A lot of people are in prison for love, crimes of passion.
03:08:17.000
Do you think that we could avoid a lot of that if people were introduced to psychedelics?
03:08:31.000
That when I took mushrooms sometimes, that's why I panic sometimes.
03:08:35.000
And I run upstairs to my wife and say, baby, I took mushrooms.
03:08:37.000
I know you told me not to take them, but I took them and I can't take it right now.
03:08:42.000
Please, please, just hold me right now, baby, please.
03:09:04.000
Mushrooms, sometimes, it feels like it's trying to tell you something.
03:09:22.000
You know, I understand that because I could be on mushrooms and sometimes really believe that I'm gone and everybody here is here for my enjoyment.
03:09:33.000
Everybody's just here for me to make me happy, to make me alert.
03:09:40.000
You feel like you're the only person in the world when you're on a really good strain of mushrooms.
03:09:47.000
You're so far divorced from regular thinking, you're in like a dreamland.
03:09:53.000
It's hard to really articulate it to somebody, how you feel when you're under that state.
03:10:01.000
They're never going to understand it unless they do it.
03:10:06.000
Listen, when you're on some good shows, you don't want no sex, you don't want nothing, you just want to find something.
03:10:14.000
I wish there was a way that people, that grown adults, could experience it in a professional setting.
03:10:18.000
So if you have professional people that know how to dose people correctly...
03:10:26.000
But what I think is if they did allow that, it could make a better world.
03:10:32.000
There's a legitimate tool to make a better world, and people look at it and dismiss it like it's silly.
03:10:38.000
People don't want people to know how they really are.
03:10:39.000
So if they took Shroom, they would expose who they really are.
03:10:43.000
And I think people living in this world never exposing themselves and uncomfortable to the day they die.
03:10:52.000
But I also think there's a lot of people that are just ignorant to it.
03:10:57.000
They've been sold that it's, like, bad for you and that, you know, you're taking drugs, you know, you might have a hallucination and lose your fucking mind and waste your time doing this.
03:11:08.000
If you tell me, hey, man, that fucking white cobra was a Bad motherfucker laughing.
03:11:17.000
I think for some people, though, the idea of doing a psychedelic drug to them sounds like a stupid thing to do.
03:11:27.000
Because you think of a drug that's that powerful, you think of it as having a negative consequence.
03:11:32.000
But I think it's probably just really effective and it should be managed.
03:11:37.000
They should figure out what is the dose if you weigh 100 pounds?
03:11:42.000
Is there a way to do this in a clinical setting where people can go and experience something that's not going to kill them?
03:11:48.000
If I start now, my resistance is probably low, but I have a high resistance.
03:12:02.000
I'm yawning, but mmm, I got that little bit mmm.
03:12:09.000
Mushroom yawns are weird because it's not like you're tired.
03:12:17.000
They say, yeah, that's the shrooms you're yawning, Mike.
03:12:20.000
Yeah, shrooms are a very strange thing because it's a life form.
03:12:24.000
Whatever it is, it's some sort of a weird life form that breathes oxygen.
03:12:37.000
We're filled with all kinds of bio-organisms and skin.
03:12:44.000
Everything you eat, your gut biome, everything.
03:12:48.000
Diamonds, gold, everything the world's made of.
03:12:59.000
And we're made out of diamonds, minerals, and all that stuff.
03:13:13.000
Hey, does it rain diamonds and Neptune and Jupiter?
03:13:23.000
They're sending these little things to these planets sucking up stuff and coming back.
03:13:26.000
I think they found a place that they think does that.
03:13:29.000
There's a place that they think it rains diamonds.
03:13:38.000
Icy gems may be forming deep inside Neptune and Uranus.
03:13:45.000
No, listen, as I was saying before, we don't know who the hell we are.
03:13:49.000
So if it's rain, we're made out of rain, then we're made out of diamonds too.
03:13:55.000
We're made out of platinum on all of our existence.
03:14:07.000
I have a 13-year-old daughter that's just a genius.
03:14:10.000
And it's a form of dying where you prepare for dying and you turn into the fungus process.
03:14:24.000
And the fungus starts to process before you even start dying.
03:14:29.000
Yeah, there's a monk that was doing that, right?
03:14:36.000
Buddha believed that suffering was self-suffering, and God didn't create us to suffer, and that's what he lived for, to stop self-suffering.
03:14:45.000
I was looking at this story a month ago, and I thought that was pretty interesting.
03:14:49.000
I never understood that he was very wealthy, and he left all of that, and his wife and his children stopped suffering, self-suffering.
03:15:00.000
Those guys, man, the idea of starving yourself and turning yourself into a mummy, that wasn't uncommon.
03:15:09.000
There was one guy that got turned into a statue.
03:15:13.000
They studied the statue of a monk that was in a lotus position, and then they did an x-ray of it, and they found out there's a skeleton inside the statue.
03:15:21.000
So they made a statue out of this monk who they think probably...
03:15:28.000
Mummified monk in Mongolia, not dead, said Buddhist.
03:15:40.000
Oh, they said he's in a deep meditative trance and not dead.
03:15:46.000
Forensic examinations are underway on the remains...
03:16:05.000
Remember, they used to put themselves on fire and everything.
03:16:12.000
He covered himself in gasoline and lit himself on fire.
03:16:15.000
That's that Rage Against the Machine album, the cover.
03:16:23.000
Yeah, I think we should be afraid of death, but we shouldn't cling to life.
03:16:27.000
You know, we should be appreciative of the time that we had here that was successful and the way that we evolved and just call it a day.
03:16:37.000
And experience as much fun and as much happiness as you can while you're here.
03:16:43.000
In order to enjoy happiness, there must be sadness.
03:17:03.000
I've been a few times, but I went this one time, went to Prince Edward's Island.
03:17:08.000
I mean, we were camping, and it was raining while we were camping, so you never get dry.
03:17:15.000
Well, that was a place that didn't have big bears.
03:17:21.000
But we were up there camping in the rain, and then I came back to California.
03:17:26.000
I go, dude, I've never been happier in my life.
03:17:29.000
Because I was just drenched for like nine days or seven days or whatever we were.
03:17:43.000
I used to be a cold-blooded vegan until I met you in the venison and the bison and all that stuff.
03:17:52.000
Your body, if you're going to be a high-level performance athlete, it's very likely that it could benefit from some animal protein.
03:18:11.000
I'm always strong no matter what I'm taking, what I'm doing, I'm always strong.
03:18:15.000
No matter if I'm on a diet, I'm not eating anything but just that and blueberries.
03:18:27.000
I don't get no after effects like I do from chicken or something, beef.
03:18:31.000
Yeah, if you get organic bison, man, that is some amazing meat.
03:18:38.000
So is like deer and moose and elk and all those different animals.
03:19:20.000
What it is, it's like an animal that has evolved to get away from the scariest predators.
03:19:25.000
It's an animal in North America that's evolved to get away from mountain lions and wolves and grizzly bears.
03:19:37.000
And when you eat the nutrients in it, it's so dense.
03:19:42.000
Yeah, it's so much superior than any meat I've eaten before.
03:19:54.000
You just don't think, you know, you sometimes, since I took the toad, right, I just thought I knew so much.
03:20:00.000
And then you do DMT and you realize you know shit.
03:20:08.000
These vets that were talking about their experience on that same stuff, on 5-MEO, DMT, and then these trips that they were having, how it would help them put things into perspective.
03:20:20.000
Some of the things that, you know, after doing the toadness, some of the things that I've done in the past, I look and I say, who is that person?
03:20:38.000
It's probably what created the ethical framework that made societies.
03:20:43.000
Probably like group tripping and then, of course, like love of family and love of friends and love of your companions and the people around you.
03:20:53.000
It penetrates the love gland and it just over-exaggerates it.
03:20:57.000
And if you can feel good, if you can relax when you're on a DMT trip, it's like the most loving experience.
03:21:13.000
When you do the total and you come back, oh God.
03:21:19.000
It is, because the mind's taking you so many places.
03:21:41.000
Yeah, it showed where the person was on the way before he died, on the scale.
03:21:54.000
There was a movie about people dying and about...
03:22:13.000
They're light at 21 grams or 2.1 grams, something to that effect.
03:22:26.000
No, it's like a long scale while you're in your bed.
03:22:35.000
And when they die, they notice that the scale is lighter.
03:22:48.000
Because imagine 21 grams making all this function.
03:22:51.000
21 grams got this guy over the computer reading telling us that 21 grams is 21 grams.
03:23:01.000
Graham have if it's missing as soon as you die.
03:23:08.000
So it comes from an experiment a guy did in 1907. God damn.
03:23:23.000
If he's right, and then I want him to be right.
03:23:26.000
2001, physicist Lewis Hollander published an article in the Journal of Scientific Exploration where he exhibited the results of a similar experiment.
03:23:35.000
Tested the weight of one ram, seven ewes, three lambs, one goat.
03:23:44.000
So he did it with their bodies, upon death they lost weight?
03:23:53.000
His experiment showed that seven of the adult sheep varied their weight upon dying, though not losing it, but rather gaining an amount...
03:24:17.000
Yeah, there's a shooting star on the roof every like 40 seconds or something.
03:24:25.000
It's not scientific fact, but it is an experiment people have tried to recreate.
03:24:29.000
If it's not scientific, how come it's an experience that's successful?
03:24:36.000
I think the reason why they say that is because it was in 1907, is that what you said?
03:24:43.000
So why do they keep still labeling it 2.1 gram or 21 grams?
03:24:48.000
I think it's just to go with the old study that that guy made.
03:24:51.000
That's crazy that you can make a study, you can do a test, some experiments in 1907. Think it'd be different now?
03:25:04.000
Even during the test, though, only one of the six patients measured that 21 grams.
03:25:18.000
It literally could just be because it got published here like in the New York Times and because of that people just ran.
03:25:31.000
Oh, you know, the bunch of lying ass, rednecks back then, lying motherfuckers.
03:25:36.000
But it's a cool thing to see, like to see written, like that your soul actually has a weight to it.
03:25:50.000
Hey, listen, I never underestimate the ancients.
03:25:56.000
No, I think there was a time, Mike, I'm inclined to believe there was a time where people were at least as advanced as we are, maybe even more so, and they got wiped out by something.
03:26:09.000
I'm here, and some motherfuckers, excuse me, some gentlemen are in New York, and we're having a conversation.
03:26:19.000
Yeah, and you can do it Zoom time, in real time.
03:26:22.000
No, but at one time I'm sure they could, like that story we think when you think about somebody and all of a sudden he rings, I'm sure they were able to do that stuff.
03:26:37.000
And he is talking to Telecolepsy, whatever they call it.
03:26:43.000
I think we're going to have, that's going to be, they have glasses now.
03:26:49.000
They look like regular glasses or sunglasses and you can like record things through them.
03:26:54.000
You're going to be able to see things through them like GPS and all those augmented reality things and it's going to be in your head.
03:27:07.000
My wife thinks I haven't evolved because I carry a lot of cash on me.
03:27:26.000
I carry, listen, I carry a lot of cash with it.
03:27:29.000
And my wife said, look at you, you haven't evolved.
03:27:53.000
She called me another word, but I won't tell you what she called me.
03:27:59.000
Listen, I just found out today that my assistant has my credit card.
03:28:12.000
I said, baby, find out if anybody's calling on my credit card or something, because I didn't see it in two years.
03:28:16.000
I don't know what happened when I canceled my credit card.
03:28:18.000
And next day I know Troy told me, Mike, I got your credit card.
03:28:26.000
You don't want to tell me you have my fucking credit card?
03:28:32.000
I always carried some amount of cash on me because people always wanted to gamble.
03:28:40.000
They said Mr. Bighton's son is hanging out with Whitey Bulger's people, his nephew and stuff.
03:29:00.000
I know he probably got some issues, but I kind of like this guy, man.
03:29:08.000
Whitey Bulger's nephew played a role in Hunter Biden's Chinese business ventures.
03:29:16.000
Mobster Whitey Bulger's nephew played a role in Hunter Biden's Chinese business ventures through emails.
03:29:21.000
But that don't mean he's a bad guy because he's Whitey's nephew.
03:29:35.000
Yeah, I mean, his nephew's not responsible for his crimes.
03:29:37.000
He can't help it that this is Whitey Bulger and he's my uncle.
03:29:45.000
Hey, I have mad respect for him on that party gear.
03:29:55.000
I know I probably lose some points by saying that this guy is really cool, but he seemed to be really fucking cool.
03:30:01.000
Well, you know, he looks like a wild motherfucker.
03:30:06.000
It's always funny when a president who's like this button-down, you know, like, put-together president has a wild motherfucker as a son.
03:30:19.000
The things that we hide all our life comes out in our children.
03:30:29.000
I bet all the politicians were wild back in the 60s.
03:30:32.000
If you weren't, listen, I was told this from a guy that was a, what's the guy, Woodstock guy, he said, if you remember the 60s, you weren't there.
03:30:46.000
All those guys that remember the 60s, they weren't there.
03:30:51.000
Mike, we're going to do your podcast after this.
03:30:55.000
So we're three hours and 20 minutes, I think, into this one.
03:31:07.000
I'm a shareholder in this company because I was...
03:31:11.000
You know, it was canceled because I smoked weed on my show, so they canceled me.
03:31:17.000
So when you say they canceled you, like who canceled?
03:31:25.000
I believe there was a couple of them that were kind of skimmish because I was smoking, of course.
03:31:31.000
And I believe now that I'm with Relevant, I'm able to smoke without anybody giving me any shit.
03:31:38.000
Oh, you don't like me, you'll cancel you, motherfucker.
03:31:47.000
It's like for iTunes and for Android, it's for all that?
03:31:58.000
If you want to know more about me, you look for MikeTyson.com and you know all that stuff.
03:32:02.000
And so your podcast from here forward will be on that?
03:32:19.000
I was going to say toxic masculinity, but no, it's just masculinity.
03:32:34.000
And you also have another cannabis line, right?
03:32:38.000
Like you stopped doing the Tyson Farms, and you moved to...
03:32:41.000
Tyson 2.0, and we have this soda that's coming out that's really interesting.
03:32:48.000
I'm gonna give you more information probably on my show.
03:32:56.000
And it's with Jones Soda, which is like, they make great soda.
03:33:10.000
May I give testament to the veracity of your marijuana?
03:33:20.000
Dude, I'm one of your biggest fans of all time.
03:33:24.000
I'm always shocked when I'm sitting down talking to you.
03:33:26.000
I just can't believe that, you know, listen, Yes, but I'm the grace of God.
03:33:38.000
I was a giant fan, and you're a cool motherfucker.
