forever is that a fight you're looking forward to hey everybody welcome to a very special episode of hotbox and I'm Evan Britton and I'm Mike Tyson Mike we've got the champ the champ in here Tyson Fury with hello everybody hey Kay the gypsy king is in the building Oh about that gypsy lifestyle on television my big fat gypsy this and out of this yeah is it about that you guys or is it about um Brad Pitt stuff from snatch snatch movie yeah yeah that was actually a good movie do you that depict the gypsy culture well not really television they do stuff on TV to sell of sewers so you'd never really get to know what it was like off a TV show yeah of course so what's the history of the gypsy goes back thousands of years they'd been around since crave yeah they've been around since Christ they've been moving from country to country every country go to around the world you find gypsies they've been around since the beginning darn yeah beginning of time people to come from all over the world all different types breed seed generations people obviously I come from England I've been born and raised there you know the way a lifer in digital religion what is it it's not a religion no it's like a culture yeah it's just sort of we brought up the only thing we want to do is fight which is well have become a boxer yeah they were named after Mike named after Mike yes how it happens my dad was a professional boxer in the late eighties early nineties heavy weight on his heroes you really so when I was born August 12 1988 I came into the world when I was eight weeks premature and I was I was dying I wasn't supposed to live and when I lived I mean dad said I want to call you after my favorite heavyweight Tyson and the doctor said no that's not gonna be a good name he's not gonna be very big disguise only weighed 1 pound him weight I was tiny Wow and I grew up to be 6 foot 9 and 265 pounds Wow crazy you started off back then what did that feel like it felt really good you know I started boxing I never hugged me first time at you fight until I was like 16 years old but I was brought up around box and I was a gym rat when I my dad was going to the gym I'd go to the gym with him and I be hitting the bags knocking stuff over in the gym I was brought up around it my brothers cousins everybody boxes so we all used to fight each other as kids growing up and I decided I was gonna be a heavyweight chump little world from being a young kid when people say oh what do you want to be when you grow up oh I want to be whatever they wanted to be they ask me what I want to be else a heavyweight champion of the world enough I wasn't gonna settle for anything else must be such a wild journey I think about when I was a fighter and I must been such a wild journey fighting with yourself yeah you know he's wondering a guy I wanted to hope that I don't want this guy to take my place always wondering you know you hurt yourselves you get a cut and you say oh I hope my careers not over before it even starts a lot of things there's a lot of motivate motivating factors for you yeah we all lose on the path to our greatness you know and it's about overcoming and never quitting and never giving up so fighting is a huge part of the gypsy culture maybe just the fighting spirit how about you know you're not the first gypsy heavyweight champion they must have been gypsy bare-knuckle champion anyway to play no wall stone a guy called gypsy Jim mace yeah Johnny was able first heavyweight champion on the ground rules 1850 been like the champ that's correct from Norfolk they called him a swath from gypsy wow that's amazing very good-looking though unlike me wellyou've there's been a lot of our gypsy chumpies not just heavyweights there's been middle weights or from all over the world different white categories well I imagine you grow up fighting it's in your blood you're gonna be pretty comfortable in the fight no matter where you are whether it's a Narang or in the street somewhere what is the the spiritual practice or mindset of the gypsy culture did you grow up with with a sense of a higher power yeah believe in God uh-huh Christian uh-huh and I believe that we're all here for a reason I believe that everything I do my life is already plumbed and set you know this up been so many things happened to me throughout my life and if there was no higher power then it wouldn't be possible for me to be even in the flight were Wilder like brought me off the canvas in round 12 when I was knocked out to raise me to me feet and there to fight on for a reason and I believe the second return for me in boxing because that's three year out the ring I was dying with depression and anxiety upon 147 pounds I was taking drugs on a daily basis I was drinking on a daily basis I was gone I was finished the only place I ever fought that I'd ever end up was in a padded room somewhere it was terrible I was thinking about suicide every day I had nothing to be upset about I was heavyweight champion of the world or 27 years old they had money fame glory a family achievements kids everything running so smooth book it didn't matter because mental health will bring you to your knees if you let it I was young kid and I was fighting I was going to everything so everything so intensifier old [ __ ] this and that and then it's just an illusion it didn't really matter and I mean they really existed what was it Tyson that helped bring you out of that boxing boxing brought me back because I was living very wild and you know when when you lose the passion to breathe fresh air anymore and you don't want to live you're a terrible place and I remember a moment I was in a I was in a high-performance car Ferrari I was heading towards a bridge that big with a custom-made for you know it wasn't cool so I headed towards this bridge our high-speed hundred ninety miles an hour and I was gonna crash into a bridge and before I hit this bridge I got to about maybe five hundred fought from the bridge and I heard a voice I physically heard a voice speak to me and say stop don't do this and I pulled over and I remember I was shaking I was crying I was thinking I knew I was totally gone I didn't think I'd ever come back like boxing was the last thing I ever cared about on this position and I remember thinking you know what if I'm ever gonna get right again I've got to get fit I've got to lose the weight I wasn't losing the weight to come back to return to the flight game I was doing that for me for my health and the more I trained the more I was getting better and better by the day when I lost a lot of weight quickly and I was I was feeling good I was feeling great again and I wanted to get back in the ring I felt like I had a lot more to to offer a lot more to give retirement wasn't for me I had three years out the ring and it was it was a horrible three years the worst three years of my active life and I thought I'm gonna get back in the ring I'm gonna fight again and they let you keep your title for that long yeah I had four world titles and I they stripped me of one within seven days and I vacated the rest yeah vacated the reston and I came back had a couple of easy knock over fight come straight back in my van Walda that was your first fight back Wow and that fight really I feel like captivated the world that happy after that really brought people back long boxes people be happy like that people very happy yeah it was so exciting you know to see two titans back in the rain clash and like that you know at that time it was a breath of fresh air because there was an evii way in England called Joshua where he was a world champion and he was unbeaten and wild was over here he was in the UK and he was talking back and forth for like over a year like [ __ ] they didn't want to fight each other so I think it was more Joshua didn't want to fight wild ever rather than ever way around so I thought you know what I'm gonna fight give me the fight so they looked at me and II thought this guy's finished he can't fight no more how can you lose all that weight and I've all that time out the ring abusing your body and then come back to this level but maybe I was finished in my body but my mindset was that strong and I believed that I was gonna win but if you believe it first with the mind anything is achievable angry and I believed it so much I don't never ever doubt myself in a fight no matter who is with who I always believe I'm gonna win somehow someway I'll find a way and we put on a great fight and you know people are looking forward to the year - pretty much yeah hell yeah is that in the books Yeah right about before you fail do we match yeah I'm fighting on September the 14th in Vegas gonna get some Swedish guy called Auto wallet he's had number four ranked WBA unbeaten in twenty five six six southpaw so he might take a couple of rounds to get him out what's up Mike hey Evan did you read

that was the peak of the mountain that your whole life you had been striving to get to right what was it in that that you were you felt as though you weren't being fulfilled you know I suppose I suffered with depression and anxiety my whole life from being a little boy to being a man but I always had a goal would become in every way champion of the world and he always brought me back out of the darkness to achieve that goal and nothing else mattered a lot of tragedy go on in me life a lot of stuff happened that maybe could have put me off track of being everywhere jumbo I always sort of sidetracked all of that and concentrated on the job in hunt and when they said right you you're gonna fight Klitschko for the for the World Championship I was like when I win I'm not gonna have a goal anymore so I almost knew going into the fight that I was going to calm down it was going to be a disaster I was very depressed going into the fight going into training camps I knew I was going to beat this guy and I said to I remember saying to me Timmy Darden me brother said win lose or draw us that I probably won't fight again after this boxed all your life to get to this position and you're gonna just walk away I was like you know what I'm not feeling any more book I looked back in it now when I was very ill going into that fight I wasn't well minded goes in there beats him for five minutes I was happy and then when I got back to changer in my voice I said I've won 5 World title belts I beat the second longest reigning heavyweight champion in history what next I don't have a purpose anymore finish is weird make a little kid and I won the title after I fell in love with that illusion of myself and [ __ ] really hell [ __ ] and you're like let me conquer more anymore about me let me have the best girl in the world and we have the best seat in the [ __ ] restaurant give me the best [ __ ] car what the best plan I was [ __ ] all so self-absorbed you know I mean I couldn't [ __ ] enough girls couldn't have enough fight and have enough fights outside the ring it's yeah it wasn't enough yeah it's so interesting because I very much relate to what you're saying you know yeah that feeling of what's next this is it this is everything I've I've every bit of my life that I've dedicated to achieving this thing and I did it now what the [ __ ] life but that's just my negative outlet right that's because we don't have no I was looking so fluff yeah back then we you know have no self loathing it's so easy to say that's it you have self love you find so many increment things to do to so you know I played football for everyone but me I played football to prove everybody wrong to show everybody how powerful and dominant and scary I was I played football to destroy other people to inflict my pain on others and I never once was playing it just because I loved it you know and that's a much more sustainable source of power out of a fleet that thinner just after the people in general with Jostein that because this is our acceptance you know then I gotta give you the same acceptance if you're not playing at a team then if you just retired player and the different kind of acceptance yeah I'm not gonna get the same [ __ ] girlfriend you did and the [ __ ] bass football player do you within a retired play is all about continuing to do this stuff and this is our rice we do this to we can't do it anymore yeah becomes our identity yeah and we can't even help it we gotta go to I go to a school to learn how to get out of that she'll of us off that mask of our identity yeah yeah it's very true and it sounds like in those three years out and then finding that passion again you tapped into something a little deeper and yourself 100% you know the first time I was boxing first career I call it two careers the first time was about achieving my dreams becoming everywhere in the world and all that sort stuff we just talked about all that power and what if and all this stuff but when I got there I fought like this is a lot of [ __ ] it wasn't what I expected and from England's definitely because England they look at back to the photos from a total different different perspective they're like gods out there so how do you how do you live their life in England you can't go nowhere exactly I know he can't go no way yeah I can't go because they're waiting for you yeah yeah you hang out here to be 40,000 people waiting for you in England they don't [ __ ] around that's crazy what they're fighters they're soccer players and stuff they will be played over there with you a hundred percent how many people where did you fight you for him in America right that they were yeah how many how many arm people from the UK came over about seven thousand yeah there was a lot of British fans traveled but like the second career it's not about winning belts or anything I've just having fun you know a box now because I love to fight and I finally found what I love to do were there and that's to be be involved in in good fights and um take punches and hit people back you know I'd go into these fights and I don't give a [ __ ] you know I'd like a loose cannon the crazy character I don't carefully hit me I don't care what they do I'm gonna enjoy myself I'm gonna I'm falling the fight they're all serious like oh my god it's a fight ah I'm like doing dances waving my arms and yes singing to him I noticed that care anymore you know I've gone past the stage of caring about fighting who was your last fight I boxed in Vegas oh yeah in June 15 my boxer German guy called Tom Schwartz that's right and I watched all of that pre fight stuff man and your energy was unbelievable if you were smiling yeah you were putting on a show we're in the entertainment business yeah I was in Las Vegas I was there to pawn the show I did that won the fight no to the next one yeah you know I'm not even fun I've never been as happy as this in my whole career that's never I'm so happy right now so mentally well so unconcerned about what people think of maybe Ruiz I think he's a win over Joshua was a very good win on two weeks notice how would you favor I would tie one behind me back and use either one just jab he's not right up pop-pop-pop-pop ah hopefully this fight ever [Laughter] is that affair you're looking forward to I'm gonna fight this guy on the 14th and then we're gonna go for the wild a rematch February 22nd nice and then this time I'm not gonna leave it to the judges it's gonna go over within four or five rounds then we're gonna move on to fight anybody that you're going for you thought somebody else yeah he fought one fight before Hey he fought Dominic preserve one round one round knockout and he's like Louis Ortiz in his next fight so how do we met yeah yeah I think now go quicker this time now Luis Ortiz is 147 years old you know how old he is Cuba they they fight forever just keep doing em to fight with Tyson what do you think about like back in the day Mike had 15 fights in a year or before that Sugar Ray Robinson had like a hundred fights in a year and now how many fights you have in a year maybe three that's crazy it is crazy but when you started off at the beginning you can have all these fights I in my first year as a professional I had nine fights and then the more you step up the more the fights become less they need more time to build them more time to sell them I wish I could fight ten times here once a month would be good yeah I offered to do a bomber month campaign like Joe Louis unless you do specific and possibility of them getting hurt anymore I'd love to keep very active like if I can get three fights yeah I think that's me being very active I have a lot of time inactive yeah like one fight per year one fight in three years just craziness seems like you get out of rhythm much you become much fit and then you lose it all yeah and you become skiing and you didn't have a couple of fights to get back while you was yeah so is it a matter of them promoting the fights like who's your contract with as a boxer is it with the promoter or is it with like is that is it with a league no it could be with the hotel the hotel hotel it could be with the television station clowny interesting oh so like you have a contract with Showtime to fight certain amount of time for a certain amount of money a year interesting its way then the fact that they will pay him well if he's in the West Coast like a casino or something the casino mostly in the West Coast like Vegas will pay him a certain amount of money in the fight a certain amount of time at their hotel you know and so the casinos has really been kicking like the East Coast auditoriums in the but because we're paying you to comfort in our auditorium well you got to pay these big auditorium the fight in the arena so you know it's really a no-brainer what are the big casinos MGM grabs yeah yeah that's just one that I'm through uh dozens of them now yeah yeah you know I fought lost fight at the MGM Grand okay where's this fight coming up this fights not a new new arena in Vegas called the t-mobile Center okay a new one year for it's like a twenty thousand seat awesome that'll be cool how are you dealing with you know your success and continuing to build yourself up and your new career like I said I don't see a success I don't see it's anything I just live day to day you know what when you're like me I could be happy now I'm suicidal in the evening uh-huh yeah so when you live like that or your medication no my medication is training no I think you fail every bar the drugs test in the world then yeah I just I train I took my medicine is as become training I used to like just train for a fight go out a camp and pot on or turn away not train just eat [ __ ] all the time drink a lot and on the second time I'm coming back like I'm staying in shape the whole time I'm training every day for me not just for a sport for me to keep myself mentally well and strong and the training camps and lifestyle of our boxer has become very easy for me now sour box up 265 pounds and walk around at 265 pounds where before I was walking around at 370 pounds or more forums reduces to 370 I would never stay in shape um in all seasons if I don't have a fight like when I stopped fighting three and four times a year like where I was just boom is fighting our trainer my disco Gordian and drinking yeah [ __ ] then we have to fight argue people being my room we finally get these just a new deathless de no it's all it's really a form of that's how you understand self care at that time you're like this is taking care of myself because now I got to just rest and recover and replenish and Gorge myself that's just I didn't have and then have good um life skills back then yeah that's what I'm saying that was waiting saw my brain should be it's a staying shake yeah keep running down don't don't go to the gym you just keep running everyday just keep your Cardinal yeah keep the cardio up yeah so you know when you was doing all this [ __ ] all the time did you catch many diseases that's part of being the guy that gets all the girls to if you that guys [ __ ] everybody that comes with a tote yeah Oh I was recently over in Spain and someone said oh no don't [ __ ] doc girl she's got herpes I said well she [ __ ] me she could have chlamydia gonorrhea everything else oh [ __ ] [ __ ] I caught a kissing disease one day my mom what is this my bot oh yeah my [ __ ] um the lymph nodes yeah yeah he's [ __ ] glance Pole well duh oh I look like a [ __ ] toad a toad he has big glands yeah Wow you can't believe I feel like I was dying really oh your pain like no other you don't believe it so much pain are you sure that was some kiss and I'm not [ __ ] like it that - it goes both where you get it both ways turn the [ __ ] needle going in your ass snaps our pillow thing penicillin yeah thankfully I've never contracted lucked out till you gave me brother's assistant yeah I got a I got four brothers no sisters yeah a five brothers knows his stuff - Wow yeah Rio's fighting all the time all the time yeah may my younger brother we used to fight every day all the time and I've got younger brother again he was also a professional fighter yeah yeah I think he had nine pro fights yeah but he had a bad eye so he had to retire from boxing he would have been good he was her she was sharp compact and powerful hmm heavy weight heavy weight yeah how tall he was about six foot six four six four and two hundred and fifty pounds huh yeah stark you you have a family yeah I got a wife on five kids five kids five kids that I do Ramos whatever you're having for 10 10 kids yeah you gotta work hard on dripper son gotta keep it going Tennyson what are you there's a lot to live in England in England right yeah um the cost of living hi there yeah it's expensive yeah I would think so yeah anybody lived it [ __ ] live over there mean you gotta get it together it's really expensive yeah I think I think America's expensive those well really think so yeah Wow some cities yeah you think so don't you see the tax game over there the monster man really over there you get 50% tax and 20% of all us 70% of the money gone yeah that's [ __ ] but once you pay the taxes you're cool they don't take no other stuff out yeah paid over here to attach you for everything on thank you for your clothing oh thank you for that bag you don't pay taxes on food and no things like Oh free you see a price and then you go to the till and they want tax on top of them yeah our home is all included uh-huh so you take it out when they give you the check interesting I guess that's a good trade-off how do you feel about it you know it's one of those things is what it is we're all guaranteed two things in life death and taxes no but listen it can't escape any of them you have to look from this perspective though even though all the billionaires there's more billionaires coming out of England and moving England any place in the world I don't knows why England if they're so worried about their taxes there has to be some kind of tax loophole where then that threatened like they are over here I'm sure there are loopholes no doubt about it could everybody's gonna England rich people really know how to maneuver and navigate the taxes it's not you'd have to be rich you just have to be educated we pay taxes yeah yeah it's [ __ ] still I suppose he pay a high tax bracket to live in a safe place yeah you know imagine if you lived in a third world country and you getting stabbed and killed every second on your doorstep yeah but you're not paying taxes hmm so over there it's clean place to live quite safe spot it really it's great what are you doing in LA I'm here in LA we've got some press for the fight go to ESPN studios in a bit awesome - bit there and few more interviews and things just to promote the fight for September 14th but turn in a movie and do yeah oh yeah you'd be great go down the street over there and go I'm gonna sit hang out they would love to hang out with you mr. ed down the street no we're just gonna go back in there do the ocean oh yeah I'll call that down the street yeah yeah do you have any interest in that acting no not really well to be fair Hal girl never know what the future also overly if it was a porn and pornographic movie what do you see for life after boxing or even thinking that far yeah I wanted you off the box you know one day where I want to start a heavyweight fight Factory hmm I'm bringing heavyweights from all over the world if I'm in in one facility sharpen in each of a rope and try and take him further anyway champions I love that have you a training ground basically have to wait braiding ground I love that it's awesome it was a young fighter what is your what are your options how do you how do you get in you just have to find a gym and you know you work with all the other fighters is that the best best situation suppose oh yeah I get to a gym that I am I just people discovered me they wandered in box I want you to box or something how did that happen yeah how did it well you grew up in it I grew up around boxes we are very easy for me to get involved in it yeah I'm of England being a small place small country yeah it's like if you any good at all and you're gonna be selected to box for for the country and in tournaments all over the world yeah so yeah I used to walk to the gym everyday though my little brother I used to jog there he used to ride a bike nice train two hours three hours and run back it's awesome but without them opportunities to do that then I maybe wouldn't even be here today who knows so that's another thing I would like to do open up a amateur boxing club to give other people opportunity society my life it's definitely needed absolutely if I had to pay the be a box I wouldn't never been a box I had no money yeah alone free had a box yeah I mean that's I'm sure there's millions of kids who would love that opportunity you know have somewhere to go get instructed or be like a family if you want you go family in that family life and everybody knows what you're doing everybody got the eye open got the friend the family got the isle he's involved with the gym he's one of the boys look out for him it was just incredible lifestyle yeah Tyson is there anything you any questions you have for Mike is you prepped for this next fight not really you know no not really I don't know if many questions yeah that's good I mean that's a good place to be is there anything you're curious about Mike and his new life after boxing when the life is pretty interesting understandable yeah go for it yeah it's near life of yours it's giving you a new lease of life yeah thank God cuz my laughs my last [ __ ] life with whoa I don't know how this should happen me but without all luck catastrophic action would you be the same man you are today without the experience well I needed that experience you're a living legend I'm sorry with a living legend yeah well miss cool living I can't believe I wanted to die some so often when I was younger I think I hate living I get 53 I love living I don't wanna [ __ ] die I hate the fact that I gotta die now the living is so interesting it is every day is what's the motivation right now excuse me what's the motivation yes for me if the absorbed my existence you know and realize that life is a joke I took it to Syria wonderful son you know I don't know not long after this I'll die soon and I won't exist anymore and I'm and then I have to go to the other one I want to see what that's like I can't believe this energy that I have just died than it doesn't exist I mean I live here no more but I have to go somewhere hundred percent you know and that's what I'm looking forward to now not for a long time yet whatever happens it happens I'm just looking forward cuz life is grateful death has to be just as great as life you see I think the worst the worst the worst day of my life right it's my mother of my children dying the world the worst day of my life besides that incident that happened that could happen to anybody my probably happen to everybody all over the world at that time life is still beautiful what stay in life is still beautiful day if I don't take internalize in all over these me and my mother died about baby died why me if I don't look at it from that perspective life was always beautiful every day was beautiful you know life is precious and it's beautiful just to wake up in the morning before before I used to take it all for granted I didn't care and care about nothing I didn't care about family friends relatives achievements I didn't care about for call I just just didn't care but now after going to hell I'm back I appreciate fresh air and a glass of water creates smaller things in life because when you've lost you never know what you've really got until it's gone yeah but I've had the opportunity to be shot down and come back you know and you really find out who your friends are who the people are really behind you who leaves who jumps often and everybody just loves a winner nobody wants to be around the loser nobody wants to be around the man who's lost his mind so you really find out who your friends are the people who call you and distress when you're down and you're out you don't have any more to offer to them so I suppose I got to see that side of everything without being beaten in a boxing ring first so then on the comeback I have the smallest team ever the people who were there for me when I was gone when I was out so yeah I keep it nice and small happy for every day and whatever happens in life happens okay we have to understand that being afraid of the being entertainer if anything it's being in the light that we have to understand that this is will be over soon this is not gonna last forever so why the why at this moment wow it's an enormous and it's profitable I have to make the best I can out of it that's what this is all about now with him he has to make the best possible move the future right now while you can yeah it's interesting hearing you say cuz I know this as well as that before you said you didn't give a [ __ ] about anything and now you don't care but in a different way it's like you're detached with love from it all you know and I think that's an important issue that's a that's a difference you know but it's interesting because it's the flip side of the same coin hmm you know going from a place of not caring about anything in your life in a destructive way and then coming to a place where you cannot care about anything in life because you're not attached to anything or any specific outcome or how anything is supposed to be your look you know before I used to take everything and think oh I want this and whatnot I was never happy with what I got human nature we always want more yeah no matter what it is no matter how much you've got of something then you always searching for more things I think that's ego nature no doubt about it that's the nature of the ego I know it's like I don't care for that if I lose everything I don't care what happens nothing really is ours anyway in life wanna borrow it until he died and it all goes yeah the only thing we truly own in this life is moments in time this is a moment in time for me that will never be erased I'm the mother what up and this is always gonna be my time this will be my moment time because I lived here and I was a parlous yeah you know everything else this bag this watch these clothes they'll all go through what does it really matter yeah yeah your body will go this is a shell yeah but what's inside hope to god lives on forever it definitely does you know maybe maybe I'm maybe not living on fair that's cool too yeah you know we all know that yeah maybe just maybe it's stop here in our [ __ ] selves and talking about some thinking about ourselves in our mind sometimes yeah you know I mean maybe that's cool not to stop that that's bliss yeah this have no thoughts yeah you know but like you said before why are we here well you have all these experiences and then what would just switch yourself after you close your eyes it can't be possible yeah well that's the ultimate question isn't it what happens when you die I reckon we wake up with it all a dream youth wake up what do you think Tyson well like I said before I'm a practicing Christian her and the Bible says when you die all the answers will be revealed and everything will be like almost in HD and everything you wanted to know in your life will be answered but they also says that we'll be accountable for every action we did so I don't know I I just don't think I think um even as a Muslim a formal Christian I just believe that um when I took the Tories believe there's no good and no bad there's no right and no wrong you know I mean who are we sir we're not our brain is not even at the height of this development we're not developed really enough to understand why we did something right or wrong we don't understand our selfishness our greed our ego we don't understand and we can't comprehend it we can't even conceive it to another human being what is really when its operating we're nothing who are we we can't explain ourselves what am i doing here what the [ __ ] am i doing I already know I should be scared I don't know me I don't know you don't know what the [ __ ] are we I just know my mind tell me everything is my mind is just not reliable most of the time yeah especially when you've been indoctrinated with all of the materiality of life and modern culture that you know you have to break out of that show I mean really at the end of the day our experiences and who we project into the world is just like everything that's going on and here all our relationships that we have with everyone around us all the things all the attachments we have are about what's going on inside it has gone yeah if I actually has God always been here to somebody Creek on how did God come to existence good question somebody say there's something that something I had greater than me I had to worship it and then I call it God there what is consciousness a witness or something that we don't see you know but we definitely should this is it this is where you have to be for now at least yeah I like the idea of you know when you die all the all the questions you have in life are answered you know it I believe that's part of the deal for sure the accountability thing I believe in that to an extent of you know I think God is all forgiving and all accepting and you know at the end of the day it really comes down to your perception of yourself and your own ability to forgive yourself you know that's the ultimate test yeah because there were the hardest on ourselves of anyone there's no one I mean there's no one else no there's no one here inflicting little angry because we don't have to have his pretty much yeah and we want to know everything we are we based our acceptance on knowing stuff too being smart you know when you hurt someone you know when you inflict damage you cause wreckage you cause pain you know what that is and there's no one there to fix that but you you know you know how that feels I know how it feels you know and at the end of the day it all comes down to how do I feel about myself you know no matter what you do in your life though yeah all comes down to you whether you're a successful athlete whether you're a visitor whether you've got a regular nine-to-five job the biggest thing in the world is contentment yeah who you are and what you are I know plenty of rich people are no billionaires and a no millionaires and 99.9% of them ain't happy very unhappy people yes but then I know people who work 95 for minimum wages and are so positive and so happy that there's a rule though the ball so don't ain't they in a bad position and everybody else who's like super rich or whatever because they're helping contending with our life and their surroundings and everybody in it some people are not meant to consent concert had to grab that concept of happiness hmm why do I have to search for happiness is too it's too difficult to search for it you know too complex Europe you know I mean it's the moment happiness is moments nobody could have a whole hour of happiness Oh take a whole lifetime King years of happiness yeah how did I mean it's consistently happy it's a 10 years there's not a tenth of a second of miserable you know where they're going with their a hell of a per the guy that's not real I know I've been posting a lot of this positive [ __ ] on my Instagram because I don't know what else to do with social media other than put positive [ __ ] out there you know and sometimes it comes off I share my own experiences and people go like oh I'm sorry you're feeling down today or you're feeling angry today and I'm like I'm not [ __ ] angry dude and I'm not feeling down those feelings and emotions come up yes but life is not about being happy and [ __ ] excited all the time you know we're on a [ __ ] wave of emotions that's constantly moving and flowing and just because you're up one minute doesn't mean life is great and just because you're down the next doesn't mean life is [ __ ] you know you got to be fun full for old moment exactly what I'm pounds like months all there it's all a blessing it's all a blessing it's just our perception any times I went clean now and we know and I feel my thumb I'm clear I'm feeling perfectly I'm working out I'm even good everything's good never got feet now what's gonna cook what's gonna happen to me relapse what's gonna happen to make me want to get do some cocaine what's gonna what can happen cuz I feel like I'm invincible now so what does it get what is it could happen to make me do that yeah you know I mean yeah and why am I even thinking about something would make me do that because that's one of my biggest fears getting high again going out and [ __ ] with people you know you know put my life in some stranger's hands uh that's the fucked-up place where we've all been you know my biggest fear like you just said Mike is going back to drugs back to cocaine I don't know that I can never go back there yeah I've got an addictive personality if I'm doing anything I'll do it [ __ ] hundred percent I'm so I'm so control it controls me somewhere it's really liquor perhaps I won't say I'm an alcoholic I say I'm a drug addict I mean if I'm everything else but I have to feel in my sick man I'm too proud to be an alcoholic but I'm a big alcoholic but in my mind I don't want to say that I'd rather be the drug it's cooler to be the cocaine I don't tell anybody I'm alcoholic I'm not a devil for the drink yeah yeah I'm a bear about to be an alcoholic well you know those are such it's such interesting labels because alcohol is really it's just the substance you use to fill the hole and it does a damn good job love it doesn't know what it does [ __ ] yeah you know it's interesting to me the labels that be get put on because it's really an emotional sickness you know it's a it's a sickness of the mind a spirituality spirituality it's a spiritual sickness note that about you know and that just happens to be the thing that in this dimension we can take to to make it all go away for a moment but I will say this alcohol and drugs if you're if you've suffering with mental health problems yeah it makes it go away for like five minutes yeah but when you wake up the next day crash without even more the tsunami never do it again and later and then they disappear what is this thing ever yeah if alcohol was invented today be class a drug for sure definitely Mike said this before and it's totally true you know you put a few guys in a room and a bottle vodka a few hours later they're in a fistfight yeah Kelly Taylor never laid it - they're gonna kill each other yeah it's just amazing what alcohol can do you smoke a joint with five or six people eat hug it I'll show what are your feelings on cannabis do you stay completely away or you completely sober these days yeah oh yeah I've never been a weed smoker to be honest okay have you dabbled in CBD no no valence psychoactive no I've never never the only drug wolf my choice was cocaine oh good yeah the co needles I'll give me life so you're like 370 doing coke 20 doing coke you should be happy your heart damn bus exactly I think it nearly did you know I was on the verge of having a heart attack I couldn't bend down and tie my shoelaces up about being out of breath I was look in the mirror thing what a state such a shudder from your former glory only a few years ago what ever happened to you and cocaine for while you live in a life and you pass a mirror you're looking whoa the reality sets a little [ __ ] that no good clean life is the best your face is puffy you got sores in your nose and your lips and [ __ ]

A lot better and not as cringe as most of this comment section makes out imo

[u/SimplyTheJester]

I liked when Fury said something like "You're a living legend" to Mike and Mike responds "I'm just glad I'm living."

[u/FourDoorFordWhore]

Lmao... This is uncomfortable to watch. Fury seems weirded out. I mean Mike and the co host are stoned to the gills talking about philosophical and spiritual stuff. Fury has nothing to say and doesn't want to be there.

[u/quosh]

‘Tyson, do you have any questions for Mike?’ - ‘No’. That just about sums it up, I couldn’t finish it, Awful.

[u/Caveat_Canem]

A show like this is a great opportunity to address the issue of height in the heavyweight division. Tyson was one of the shortest champions ever, and Fury was among the tallest.

[u/RoadmanFemi]

Iron Mike interviews are all awful lately. He's just baked and talking like a mong. Not surprised Fury couldn't be arsed

[u/jlange94]

These collaborations always sound really cool, then it starts and all they talk about is shit you're uninterested in.

[u/jackjohnson1908]

man Eben Britton just doesn't fit in, i don't know why. I listen to this podcast and podcast with Micheal Buffer, dude never countinue with the conversation.

Everytime the guest finish sentence, he says either WAOW, or it's so awesome or so amazing, so cool.
