Let's respect the legend. Everybody make some noise for Mike motherfucking Tyson. I'm going to be honest. Well, thank you. I didn't expect you either. No, no, no. I'm going to be honest, Mike. Mike, your transition

has been the best transition I've ever seen in life. Tell me about that. My brother started off with a complete Drink Champs intro. Tell me about that. Yeah. My brother, start it off with a complete Drink Champs intro. Let's do it. Complete Drink Champs intro. One of the baddest boxers,

one of the baddest mans, one of the most improved people ever in life. A person that I look up to personally because New York City, we got the best energy in the fucking world. I agree. I agree.

I'm sorry if you're not from New York. Is Miami in the building? But if you fuck New York, you better be known. You know. Is the South in the building? Is the fucking energy in the building? It's a South in the building. It's a South in the building.

I need the South in the building. And I watched every documentary. I watched every... This is the most exciting heavyweight champion ever. Thank you, brother. It's been an honor in existence. Thank you. In case you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, we're talking about the one and only

Iron Mike motherfucking Tyson! No, no, no, no, no, no! Make some noise! Got it. You know, Recession Proof, I want to thank you. Thank you, man. For putting this together.

For doing what you guys do. For continuing the success of black entrepreneurship. And passing it on. Passing, teaching, educating. But Tyson. I had no idea I was going to come in and see so many beautiful black people. I had no idea I was going to come in and see so many beautiful black people. I had no idea.

Listen, I had no idea. I thought I was just here with some, I thought I was here to intermingle with these guys and say some really crass stuff. And I see that I'm in front of a bunch of iridescent. I have to conduct myself different, huh? Y'all don't want to hear my shit, do you? All right, so we're going to be very nice, okay? At least I will attempt.

But this is recession proof, Mike. Tell me about recession proof. You got to realize that recession proof means that these are the people who survived when the people that didn't survive couldn't survive. Like Mike has survived. Like Mike. So Mike, let's just be clear, this is Drink Chance,

we real niggas, and we going to keep it straight to the point. The white boys bother you on the flight. Oh shit,, shit. Oh, shit. Let's just keep it real, Mike. I need a drink. I need a drink.

They didn't press charges. That was gangster. I'm going to drink some marijuana. Even though they didn't press charges and I was in the right from a moral perspective. Absolutely. I shouldn't have touched him. No, Mike, we agree that you were right.

Sometimes, Mike. There's boundaries. There's boundaries. I understand. Sometimes you just got to tap a nigga. Sometimes. You know, I'm a recovering junkie and alcoholic. I do inventory every night.

Okay. You know, and I wasn't a good, I didn't pass that well. That's just me. I do inventory. On yourself, on yourself. Yeah, every day. Right, right, right. I get dark.

I can get really dark. So inventory gives me the light. That's real. But Mike, you're a great person. We've seen your struggle. We've seen everything. We watch you. But I don't want to be great.

I know a lot of great people, but they're not good people. Say that again, please. I want to be a good person. Not just great. Great doesn't equal good. No, a great is just doing the hardest shit in the world with the simple of ease. And a lot of people do that. Do the hardest shit in the world like it's nothing.

Because it's easy for them? No, because they've been gifted. Right, they have the gift that makes it easy for them to do that. No, nothing's easy. They have to put in that work. Right, right. They have to dedicate themselves. If they don't, the gift won't work.

The gift only works when you put in that spirit of fighting the will to win. Right. To refuse to lose. The only reason I succeed, I'm like, because I want to be up more than anybody in the world wants me to be down. And that's just what it is.

And I'm just a really competitive, I'm really an animal. I'm the kind of guy, he's put me somewhere, Moscow, he's put me anywhere, and that's what I want to do. I want to compete and see what happens. With no money in my pocket, nothing.

I'm that kind of an animal. For the sport of it. No, for life. That's real, Mike. And at one point, Mike, you had a tiger. I had quite a few. You had a few tigers at one time? Yes. How does that work?

It doesn't work.? It doesn't work. It really doesn't work. How long did it not work? Well, until they got a certain age. Around one year old, you couldn't sleep with all three of them. Oh, they literally slept with you? Yeah. Because we also watched The Hangover.

And in The Hangover, they stole your tiger. And then you beat the white guy up. That wasn't my real tiger. That was... That was... Actors' tiger. Was it based on some reality? Yeah, everyone knows

I had tigers in the past, so they played it off of that. And it's very widespread that Mike is really bizarre when spending his money and I bought a lot of bizarre things. Right. But we like,

as black people, that our ancestry come from Africa. We like that you had a tiger, sir. He had more than one tiger. Yeah, I know. But then that would have to mean our ancestors from India like me because there's no tigers in Africa. He took it legit. They're from India like me because there's no tigers in Africa.

He took it legit, they're from India. Really? Yeah. You lost your ancestry card right there. In France they have a rock painting that's around 40,000 years old. Right. And it's in France.

And at that time France wasn't, it was connected to Africa because in France there's no lions. And they had a lion painting of a lion. Right. Without the mane. So 40,000 years ago the lion didn't have a mane. We're going deep on this. Yes. I'm not going deep lie That's not deep

Just think of Explaining who you are Explain your existence To them Explain who you are Hi my name is DJ EFN I'm a Cuban Miami guy

And Dave Chappelle Called him And Dave Chappelle Called him the Latin Santa Claus And I'm in And I'm out of there Hey hey hey We got the same white beard Yeah I don't think no one Will call him the Latin Santa Claus. And I'm in. And I'm out of there. Hey, hey, hey. We got the same white beard.

Yeah. I don't think no one will call him the Latin Santa Claus, though. No, I would be the Black Santa Claus. Let's go with the Black Santa Claus. Hey, we can join forces and do Santa Claus shit. So, Mike, we came to see you on, um, you came by. Yes, yes, you did. That was a wonderful show.

And I showed up late. Sorry, guys. Yes, but one thing Mike told us, and you made it clear, you said you do boxed. Yes, you did. That was a wonderful show. And I showed up late. Sorry, guys. Yes, but one thing Mike told us, and you made it clear, you said you do not drink. No, no. If I drink, I'm so allergic to this shit.

Every time I drink, I break out of handcuffs and shit. It's crazy, nigga. He didn't just make it clear. He made it deadly clear. Oh, listen. Oh, man, this is just my doom. Hold on, let me put this over here.

And plus, if I drink this shit, I can't fit my pretty clothes. I have to wear my pretty clothes. I just can't do it, man. Too much sugar. So I have to ask, when you were boxing at the highlight of your career, Donald Trump, what's the other nigga with the- Don King. Don King. What's wrong with y'all?

The way you said it, Don and Don, it goes together. Have you ever drank and had a fight? Many of times. Do not tell me the Buster Douglas fight. No, many of times. Do not tell me the Buster Douglas fight. No, many times. Many times I had a fight. Many times. Can you remember a Pacific fight that you had?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was in Brooklyn. I had a fight. I don't know. Somebody was bawling and said something to me. And I'm high. I'm on cocaine, so I'll fight for any reason. I could've, I probably started, I probably started the fight probably, right?

Did you just say cocaine? He said, I am. I'm sorry. I just heard that, I'm sorry. You were supposed to. Well, it's the first cousin of drinking, okay? It started with drinking. Let's everybody make some noise for drinking.

Everybody make some noise. Wait a minute, don't you end it in cocaine? That's just how it was back then. Why? Huh? No, I'm saying, wow. That's just how it was, yeah. Oh. So, I... This is how it was, yeah.

So I... Please, continue. Because I just watched a documentary called Chasing Tyson. Did you see that documentary? Tell me about it first. What happened? It's a documentary. 30 for 30.

And Vander Holyfield yes it's about him chasing you his whole career to fight him to fight him his whole career and what's weird is

Evander Holyfield lives in my building at this moment he lives in your building and I can never say the best I can never say nothing good to him

every time I see him I'll be like you know know, I just saw Tyson. And he'd just be looking at me like, what the fuck? Like, it's just weird. Every time I see him, I'll be like, and I saw him this morning. I was like, you know, I'm going to interview Tyson. He just looked at me like, what the fuck? And I'm just like, every time I see him, I bring up Tyson.

And I said, this is the weirdest. No, no. You're confused that he's very believe it or not he's very eloquent very respectful and dignified

that's who he really is he also looks at me like this and we tease him because of that and you know what I forgot I forgot we're New York guys sorry I know

you're not a New York guy not at all but every time I say something I feel like I'm representing from're New York guys. Sorry, I know you're not a New York guy. I don't know. But every time I say something, I feel like I'm representing from a New Yorker. And I realize the world kind of hates New York, Mike. I was going to say, we're intrusive.

New York people are very intrusive. And we want them to know that we're tough. That's what anybody say. All my cousins from New York, all of them think they're tough. Yeah, we have that bag. know that we're tough. That's what anybody say, all my cousins from New York, all of them think they're tough. Yeah, we have that bag where they think we're tough. I got to agree with you, Mike.

My partner would agree with you too, but he's not going to agree with you tonight. Why? Why is that? What did I do? Because you're Mike Tyson and no one wants to disagree with Mike Tyson. No, y'all interested. I agree.

I agree. Nah, y'all interested. I agree, I agree. Hey listen, don't make me the idiot by not interacting with me, okay? Has cannabis saved your life? I would think a hundred. I should have been smoking when I was fighting. I was drinking like a feather. What kind of fighter would you have been smoking, honestly?

I would have been such a better fighter. The one time I did fight with cannabis, I broke the guy's back, I broke his cut, busted spleen. His back theonomy? Broke his eye socket, his cheek, his eye into the number. And I was high. You put a number on the guy.

And I was, hey, listen, time. There may be some children in here, and I don't advise you to get high while you're participating in sports. A good way to put it. All right. I might disagree, but I'm not in sports. But to be fair, you were doing other things at that time before you smoked weed. Oh, cocaine, acid, I'm a junkie, I'm a born chiller. So weed would have been the more chill of the things he was doing.

It was too mild, baby. I'm too extreme, so I either, I'm the junkie or I'm the monk. You're one or the other. You're the extreme of each. I'm not a balanced person. No way. No way. I might kill myself if I get balanced.

Shit. Shit. Don't do that, Mike. Oh, God. He talked to himself right now. Don't do that, Mike. No, by the way, this is, I'm so appreciative of the realness. Because you can just look at him, and you can tell.

Mike never fucks around. He's not fucking around. When we came to his compound, what was it? What was the compound at, though? All I remember was him opening, you gave him the Smoke Champs thing. Right. He opened it up, and he gave you the garbage of the Smoke Champs. No, he told me some crazy shit.

And he was like, well, fuck you late, because I came late that day. I want to leave. I was ready to get the fuck out of there. Because do you realize you're intimidating? All right, all right. You think I'm intimidating? Yes. All right, me and my wife are in bed this morning,

and we're talking about Devontae Davis and this Jolie guy, right? Fight tonight. My wife said... In Barcl this Jolie guy, right? Fight tonight. My wife said... In Barclays. Make some noise for the fight tonight. Oh, you got to hear this. You know family members

hate too, right? Right. So me and my wife, I said, Rolie's not going to fucking win. Look at him. I saw him fight. He's not going to beat this guy.

All right? And she said, they didn't think Buster Douglas was going to beat you. Wait, your wife told you that? Oh, shit. This morning. This morning. I said,

that's okay, you're a hater. I said, that's okay, you're a hater, but look at me now. Okay? You know, that's the most beautiful thing about chasen tyson in case you didn't watch this documentary which i watched this this morning was every single victory you admitted and every single loss you admitted the same way but not only do you admit it you actually made fun of yourself you say every time i look at uh holyfield we all gotta look back and say he beat us i thought that was the most amazing thing

ever i'm a great fighter and i'm gonna say um Holyfield's a hell of a fighter. Wow. God damn. Wow. You got to kill him to beat him. He won't fucking quit. Yeah. Motherfucker. Okay, Tyson. And I gotta say something

I gotta I gotta Answer your wife's Question that she said this morning Yeah, do that, please Had you been at top tip top shape There's no way Buster Douglas Could have beat you that night in Japan. Hey, I agree 100%.

But I wasn't in tip-top shape. And that's what it's all about. I love this honesty, man. That's the real deal. I'm going to pop me some Ace of Spades, man. Y'all not going to make noise to me popping some Ace of Spades? With Mike Tyson? No. Why is what the fuck is a mamawana.

Why is it so fancy looking? Listen, I used to be a drink connoisseur. OK, so I need you to connoisseur my drink. I don't know nothing about that one. Tell me that. What's that about? Listen, listen, this used to be ordered. This used to be owned by white people.

What? When you say white people, tell me who, what kind of white people? I don't know. This is just normal white people. Did you make that shit up? The race of whiteness

owned this company, right? You wasn't there when Jay-Z explained. No, I wasn't there. So this was owned by white people. Jay-Z went and tried to buy Chris Stow. Chris Stow was racist. He didn't like their racism. So he went and he bought this company.

When you say racism, did they say, no nigga, you can't buy this? Did they use those exact words? Mike, I have no idea if they said, no nigga, you can't buy this. But I'm going to be honest, Mike.

In my opinion, that's what they said to Jay-Z. no nigga, you can't buy this. But I'ma be honest, Mike, in my opinion, that's what they said to Jay-Z. No nigga, you cannot buy this. So Jay, from Brooklyn. Yes. And he said, I can never be told no. And he went, and he bought a better champagne, a more equivalent champagne,

and this caters to my Kool-Aid tendencies. I love this champagne. It really is a lovable-looking bottle. Don't this shit look good? Yeah. And guess what? Black people, we own this motherfucker. I don't got a stake.

I don't got an ownership. But you know what? I'm going to promote this and I'm going to represent it like it's mine because that's what we should do with all our products as black people. Not as just black people, but as hip-hop people.

When Mike Tyson, I had something, I forget what it was called. It was called, I had your ear. My gum. That was out of hand. I ate them seats like it was a bandage ear for real. Do you have some here?

You can't keep them on the shelf. No, we're going to try to do a million and see what happens. Try to get a million. Out the door. Put them on the shelf to see what happens. Because we can't keep 50,000, 100,000. Wow. Wiped out.

Right. Before the week is over. Well, Mike, we're going to eat them ears up. I have a problem with it. They're too strong. They're too strong. For me. How many milligrams is each ear?

11, 12. It's not microdosing. No, a little, almost micro. Mike doesn't believe in micro. I just learned that backstage. No, you got to do it all. He's like, macro or nothing. You got to do it all to get it all.

He's got me macro mushroom right now. By the way, this is his first time taking a mushroom. You need more. You didn't take the amount you were supposed to take. You bitched out a little. I did, I did, a mushroom. You need more. But you didn't take the amount you were supposed to take. You bitched out a little. I did, I did, I did. I did, I did, I did. By the way, we're on the plane.

By the way, we're loud as hell. I don't know why me and you is loud as hell. But then you say, I'm on mushrooms. We're Latino, bro. Because we're Latino? Yeah. That's pretty racist. You're Cuban, you're Cuban. Yeah. That's pretty racist. You're Cuban.

Yeah, that's pretty racist. I'm Cuban. You're Cuban. Spanish people were just loud? Yeah. That's where they talk about us when we're not around? Absolutely. What do they say about black people?

Are we loud, too? No, y'all, listen. You think, no, we're not loud at all. We're whispering compared to Cubans. Hey, man. That's Cuban. He's a Cuban. Motherfucker.

Listen. I'm right here. Cuban people is the loudest people in the world. No, I think they're fighting. That's what everybody thinks. Yeah, right? I'm right. I think they're fighting. They're talking about a game. My lady still isn't. She's not Cuban, and she's still not

used to it. She thinks I'm always arguing with her. With these two guys, I have to walk away. They look at me. I told you a long time ago, Tony. She thinks I'm always arguing with these two guys. They start to I have to walk away But it's a conversation for us Now two of the most boxing places in the world, one, Cuba, and Catskills, New York. Custom model. Listen, I don't know if that's the boxing capital.

It's a really small town, but they produce the greatest fighter. Because I know my shit. Thank you. Yeah, you do. Yeah. But how would have been Tyson different had Custom Model been Cuban? Jesus.

What the fuck? Don't call my Cuban up. Just let me go with it. Yeah, I'm dead. That's cool. But you know, fighting's about spirit. If he has the same discipline to ignite my spirit, yeah, he could be successful.

It has nothing to do with racism. Right. Your criteria meets his. That's why. If you have the same criteria, it works. I'm going to grab my blood. That's why. If you have the same criteria, it works. I'm going to grab my blood. Please. So, I think anybody with the

will to win and desire not to lose will succeed. That doesn't mean they're going to be a nice person, but they will succeed if they refuse to give up. If success is more important than your happiness, you make the choice which one you want.

So you're sacrificing something. You make the choice. Right. This is beautiful. Now, I once saw you doing an interview, and you have all your belts, and you look at every one of your belts and you throw them on the floor.

You say, this is what I used to think was my prized possessions. Then the interviewer guy says to you, well what is your prized possessions now? And you know what you say? Absolutely. What do you say? My babies.

You say your kids. What do you say? My babies. Your kids. Yeah. Goddamn. I'm almost crying right now. Well, no, I say that because my kids didn't always like me. Oh, no. I was, I was, I was. Nassim right here right now, that's my son right here.

He works here. I don't think he liked me this morning. I woke him up. I said, nigga, we going right here. He works at... Right there. I don't think he liked me this morning. I woke him up. I said, nigga, we going to interview Mike Tyson. Wake your ass up. And here. When we see our kids,

we see and know what we've been hiding all our life. From them or from yourself? No. It's true. No. We see our flaws in them that we've been hiding all our life right they come out of our children our children embrace it and we're afraid of it you know our time is almost up our expiration date is almost over we have to understand these kids

are different than we are almost a different species of human being my kids are smarter than I've ever been at 10 or 13 I'm like an old model now old and new model that's beautiful

no it's beautiful it's fucked up the transition is beautiful the American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network hosted by me writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to

I go outside and run outside with the dogs.

Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1.

No, no, no, no. You know what, Mike? Because I'm going to be honest. Be honest? You've been lying all the time. No more. All you lot start being honest now. I'm going to tell you something that shocked the world.

Because we all identify with being black. And being black is sometimes one of the hardest things to be. It's one of the beautiful things to be. But it's hard at times. And then when you're black and then you're gay, it might be even harder. And there was one time you had Boosie on your show.

Oh, shit. And you so eloquently asked Boosie, am I saying his name right, Boosie? Yeah. Am I saying it right? Yeah, yeahie? Yeah. I said it right? Yeah, yeah. And you said, are you gay?

Let me be clear, Mike. Put it into context. It was a conversation. Anybody could ask you, are you gay? When Mike Tyson asks you, are you gay? It's a totally different...

No, we are what we hate. We are what we hate. We are what we hate, man. I don't mean to applaud. That's just what it is. Yeah. That's just what it is. Okay. Yeah. That's just what it is.

Okay. Yeah. I'm sorry, y'all gave me a drink and shit. I don't know if y'all were telling me to shut up or not. You are what you hate, bro. No, no, but when you say that faggot, I'm a faggot, but don't want nobody to know. That's how that goes. Because we all love Boosie.

We all identify with Boosie. But when you said that to Boosie and Boosie looked at you and you looked at Boosie, we all knew Boosie is not going to win this one. No, no. He wasn't going to win.

No, see, you didn't see. You only saw me and him talking. Right. I have a trans daughter. She lives in New York City. She got on a plane from New York, I had no idea, she never even sees me or talks to me. So she comes, and she just comes in my booth or my show like she's some fucking enforcer. Because you told her that you got Boosie?

No, I never told her that. She was there that day? No, she flew that day and came in. Wow. I said, hey, what are you doing here? Hey, chill, chill. And she just went to him. Hey, what's your problem with gay people?

He said something. To Boosie. Oh, she came with that. He said something about Dwayne Wade's son. Right. And so I'm saying, was it that bad for my daughter to come from New York to LA to try to kill this guy, check this guy?

Was it that serious, really? Really, was it that serious? I'm talking to my daughter. I guess it was. Wow. You know? So I'm trying to talk to this man in a way and where he won't say anything

because my daughter's right there waiting for him to say something. My daughter's meaner than me, Jesus. I made a mistake and said a bitch at home one day, she said, don't ever say stop now, what was some crazy shit. Was this when you fell on a scooter?

No, that's the only time I laughed at you, Mike. No, my whole family laughed at me. Yeah, when you fell on a scooter. Before I fell, my daughter said, be careful, Daddy. Boom! And then, next thing I know, my back, I had to go to the hospital, my disc's all fucked up. I can't walk.

Wow. I had to get an operation. But your daughter flew in for Boosie episode. Yeah. First time ever. That was scary. She's really representing the trans, and she did it in a real violent fashion,

and I was just blown away. But it was worked out since then. Bootsy ain't said what. My daughter's big and strong. She was fucking sitting on Bootsy. My family's from the south, man. They're big, strong women. They fight men.

They fight men. Women in my family fight men. She got real just now. I almost never have nothing to say. Let's shift a little bit. We're in Vegas, right? Yes. And I can't help to think about Pac while we're here. And I just want to talk about your relationship with Pac.

Great stories. Let's just talk about positive stories of Pac. I dig, I'm going to tell you about this guy, right? One day we had this, I don't know what happened. It was after, it was just a big party for an event. And it was at, it was on Sunset, what is it, the Palladium. And I was talking to the security guy, I knew him all my life, so we're talking about something,

about a business plan we were doing. And then this little kid comes up, I said, let this kid in. Remember when we were young, we wanted to get in the club. This was a big time club. He'd never dreamed of a club. I said, come on in, shorty. This is in New York?

No, this is in California. In California, okay. It's the Sunset, the Palladium. Okay, okay. And he said, one minute. He went and came back with like 50 people. Tupac? No, this little kid.

Oh, the little kid. And Tupac was one of those guys. So we went to let them in in the back. And some kind of way, they even got on the stage, took the mic, they started rapping. And I met Tupac was one of those guys that we went to let them in in the back. And some kind of way, they even got on the stage, took the mic, they started rapping, and I met Tupac. Six months later, I'm in prison. Wait, six months later, you're in prison? Yes. And I get a call from somebody, it's Tupac's mother, and she explained how she know me from her son.

I let him in the club one night, and he wants to come and visit me. I said, great, okay. And then he came and visited me. Once he came into the, they let him in, and he came to the visiting room. And those are all real. Rikers Island? No, no, no. Ohio.

Indiana. Indiana. These are all hillbilly hick mean arian guy as soon as he came up everybody said so they already oh no no no they respected him they respected him soon as he came in the room they started applauding wow yeah you know when i was off the bat, I had such an ensemble of visitors. I had

everybody. B.B. King, Whitney B.B. King? Yeah. James Brown, Whitney Houston. Yes, everybody came. Florence Henderson. I can't even name them all. There's just so many people came to visit me when I was away.

Let's just keep it real. Tyson, were you having sex in jail? Yes, yes I was. You was? Yes, yes. Conjugal visits? CEOs? No, teacher.

Teachers? Teacher visits, that's a thing? No, I had to go to school to get my GED. Oh, the teacher. Let's make some noise for education. Hey! I don't know. I don't know about education.

I failed the GED twice. That might make me double dumb. The good came out of it. Holy shit. And then, listen. No, listen to this. When I got in sex with her, she got pregnant. Oh my God.

I don't know if I want to hear this story. It was crazy, baby. You know there's people out there. Hey guys, I had sex with my school teacher in prison and she got pregnant. We weren't using condoms, okay? And yeah, that was happening. Wow.

Obviously she didn't have it, right? No, no, no. No. Stay in school. Stay in school. He was in school. He was in school. That's what I'm trying to say, stay in school.

I didn't want to leave prison. I used to like it, it was good. I had a good life. That's a bad, not a great message right now. Yeah, I had a good life. When after they all leave my PMO, the helicopter thing, fuck. No, but Mike, let's just be clear.

When you left prison, you left in a private jet. Yeah, yeah. You left with anomalies. Like so many people were outside and so many people... But by the way, you came in prison that way and you left that way.

There's not a lot of... So as artists, Tupac, they say, follow Tupac's legacy. And it's a lie. It's a lie? It's a lie. Meaning, what I mean by that is, go to jail and you'll sell more records. That is not the truth.

Right. So many fighters tried to follow that that blueprint that blueprint that you did and they also failed listen um if I may be permitted to say I just believe that I'm ordained by God everything no you are you are. You are. You are. And I would say that wasn't a blueprint that you even made for yourself. That was your life. No, I just, I don't believe I'm smart enough to navigate myself to the position I am now. It's all done. It has to be all day. There's no way I could fucking do it.

But let's be clear, Mike. Let's talk about this. I don't think I've ever actually heard you actually talk about this, at least in this day and time. Dapper Dan. What about that? That's my buddy of mine. He looks real good now, doesn't he?

Mitch Green. I hear he's a born-again Christian. He's a born-again Christian. He's a born-again Christian. That's why I see him in the paper. Let's show him some love. Yes, he does deserve love. But you gave him an eye jammy this big. Jesus. What the fuck?

At one point at Dapper Dan. Yeah, that was really bad. 2 a.m. in the morning. No, it was like 4 or 5. 4 or 5 a.m. in the morning. I would like to listen. Listen, sometimes when you're married

you don't want to fucking go home. Okay? Didn't I know that had anything to do with marriage? Yeah, sometimes you don't want to go home

so you stay the fuck out sometimes, okay? So Dapper Dan, you're at Dapper Dan. Yeah. Mitch Green comes up. He thinks he the baddest. That was a big mistake.

Believe in that. So what happens? I forgot. comes up, he think he the baddest. That was a big mistake, believe in that. So what happens? I forgot. You forgot what happened? This nigga's life is so dope, he forgot when he beat niggas up. It happens. But it was the most famous story in New York City

because these were our two, these were our two underground, vicious motherfuckers. And they- I never looked at myself that way. I just thought I was a good kid. What the fuck you talking about? Good kid, mad city. Bad city, right?

Oh, you didn't know how they thought about you, Mike? Yeah, I know. That's what I wanted to know. Because, let's be clear, Brownsville? Jesus. What's up, Charlie, you okay? Charlie, Charlie. I'm having a good.

Because Brownsville, next to Best Stop? Yeah, that's right. When you think of New York City, let me just be clear. That's East New York, right? I used to get my teeth, I used to get my gold fronts done at Albee Square Mall, and I knew. Oh, y'all know about Albee Square Mall? And I knew at some point I might get robbed.

It just, it's gonna happen. That's how Brooklyn was back then. Yeah, but as I got older in life, I realized this guy can kill a hundred guys, but can't talk his way out of a fucking parking ticket. You know, that's just how it goes. Sorry. It's complex.

It's complex. It's complex. Yeah. Anybody can do that shit. Have you been to Brooklyn recently? I just left last week. Do you know you'll get a cream pie in Brooklyn? At Junior? That sounded terrible. At Junior?

But it's the truth. He's right. At Junior. It's the truth. You'll get a cheesecake in Brooklyn and not just in Junior's. But you getting cream pies? And cream pies. Okay. Be careful. But Brooklyn and not just in Junior's. But you'll get cream pies? And cream pies. Okay.

But you'll still get shot, though. You'll still get shot. 100%. Yeah, yeah. You'll get a cream pie, but if you go on the wrong block, Sharmika's still going to shoot you. Yes. Yes, Sharmika's going to fucking shoot you. Have you identified with the new Brooklyn?

Excuse me, the new Brooklyn? Yeah. Have you went to solo? The gentrified Brooklyn. Yeah, the really gentrified. The gentrified. You know, I'm cool. You know, I'm cool being with people that's saddled and not civilized and not savages anymore.

I would have to go from that transition. So it's good to see other people go through that transition. Right. And you drink. But hold up. As a guy from Brooklyn, right? And I know that you wear Brooklyn on your sleeve. Having that

relationship with Pac, and then what happened with Biggie, recipes to both of them. Great question. How did you feel in that turmoil that they had? I thought it was ridiculous. And that's what it was. It was two people into their feelings too much.

You couldn't just say, hey, it's over, fuck it, poof. Did you know that yourself at that moment, in your space that you were in? I knew it was going to end really bad. I just knew that. I knew it wasn't going to end nice. Right. And it didn't.

Because you had a relationship with Big? Yeah, I met Big one time and he came to my house for a party. I had a party in my house. You had tigers? They were out in the back, yes. Okay. To be clear.

He liked the house, but then he started talking to me, hey, do you know China Man? He told me you and him used to fly pigeons. And yeah, that's one of my oldest friends in the world. I knew him when I was eight years old. And Big knew your oldest friend in the world, the China man who flew pigeons. Yes. Holy moly guacamole. He knew those guys I grew up with named Fame

and all the shit up the hill, Brooklyn. Yeah, he knew all those guys. And also had a relationship with Suge Knight. Yeah, I knew all those guys. You knew them all. Suge Knight, Big, Puffy. Yeah, and listen. East Coast, West Coast. How the fuck did Mike Tyson never get Knight Big Puffy East Coast West Coast

how the fuck did Mike Tyson never get caught up in the East Coast West Coast beef or did you cause is everybody just scared of you is that the problem

no one's scared of me I treat people the way I want to be treated has nothing to do with fear but as rappers that was as an East Coast rapper, New York, Queens, New York, that was probably the worst time of my life. Really? Going through the East Coast, West Coast thing because...

Which wasn't a real thing. It wasn't a real thing, but I could never actually identify and say that it wasn't a real thing. I couldn't say that because the two big dogs was Tupac and Biggie. And when Tupac and Biggie wasn't existing no more, it was hard to say that this beef that we are talking about doesn't exist. It really was a blink of my eye. They're not here no more. more what we talking about don't mean real talk all day real talk real talk we all have an expiration date yes but we still live like we still act as if we live forever right and that's just the way it is. Because I just don't think death is bad.

I did all the special animal and tree and plant medicine. I did all of them on the water. I did everything. The highest psychedelics in the world. Ayahuasca? You did ayahuasca? The toad. Ayahuasca is not the highest.

You don't like ayahuasca? It's overrated. Overrated? Overrated, yeah. Okay, Mike, no one has never said ayahuasca is overrated. I wanted to go to Peru with a shaman and do the whole ayahuasca thing. Ayahuasca is the shit that you about to die, right? You take it and you're going to die.

Your ego dies. Your ego dies? Yes, and then you're afraid. And you can't do it in America. You got to do it in Peru. They have shamans. You're snitching here all the time. They have shamans. Yeah, yeah, you're snitching on yourself right now. No, they have shamans here too.

But until they find me. Listen, catching comes before hanging. They got to catch me. I feel like we got to make some noise with that. Hey! So OK. Peyote too? You do peyote?

That's not powerful enough for me. What? We just seen Will Smith go on. Go on David Letterman. Talk about ayahuasca. What's that? He did an ayahuasca trip. He said that's what he did before he thought about slapping Chris Rock. The way you put it was not the way he said it.

He didn't say I did ayahuasca before I slapped Chris Rock. No, I definitely fucked this up. I fucked it. But what I'm saying is it related to, and what he said was, he said he saw his money flying away from him. He saw his life flying away from him. Is that something that you do when you do ayahuasca? Because I'm interested in doing it.

Listen, um. We could do it tomorrow, right here. I'm into it. This is the stuff that you really can't articulate. My brain isn't sophisticated enough to articulate that. That's some divine shit that I can't explain. Okay. That's just the real deal.

That's real. And Will Smith, he's at a level of life that's really mind-boggling right now, but no one even knows it. Yeah, no. No one even knows it. No, that's real shit. So let's move on for a second, Mike. One of the illest characters we've ever seen in boxing, and I don't think we'll never see another character in boxing again like this character,

is Don King. Listen. Listen, oh, excuse me. There's going to always be another Mike Tyson or Don King. You think God only made one of us to exist? No, there's only one Mike. No, that's not true. There's more that come out.

Listen, there's more people in Brownville. Once they learn discipline, they can do anything. They're superseding me. That's just real talk. I wasn't an animal until I realized what

discipline was. Discipline was doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. Consistently. Consistently, yeah. Consistently. Consistently, yeah. Consistently. Because I'm watching every documentary.

Like, you know, us being privileged to have this interview, I watched every documentary. And I watched the ups and downs of you and Don King, right? But the one thing I always seen was Don is a great talker.

But he also made a lot of money. Was it worth the relationship, him making the money for you? Or him being this, eventually finding out that this guy is a terrible guy? I don't think he's a terrible guy. I think he's an awesome guy. I just think that he, I like to keep to myself what I think.

Was he a guy of the times? Does that make any sense? The guy of the times. He's just who he is. That's just what it is. He's who he is. Like me. I'm not malignant or anything.

I'm just Mike. Right. I have the perception of being a violent person, but I'm not. It's just life's perception. There's nothing more we can say. Goddamn it. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.

I'm back. There's nothing more we can say, goddamn it. It's beautiful. I watch every documentary, and I want to tell you, Tyson, face to face, man to man, not just only as a black man, not just only as a New York man, not just only as a person who went through everything, everyone always doubted me for my whole life. I identify, I relate to you in the beautifulest way. And I want to tell you, thank you. And I feel like everyone here wants to tell you thank you.

And let's give him his roses, bro. Yeah, I feel like everyone here wants to tell you thank you. And let's give him his roses, bro. Yeah, I feel like everyone here wants to tell you thank you. And I'm going to tell you why. And I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell you why. Because it's not just because. Your guy's smoking blunt. If I had that joint for me, nobody would offer me.

Come on, smoke blunt, motherfucker. You got smoke champs here? Come back to Braille. You got some blunt here? Yeah, there's a blunt in there, yeah. But let me ask, that's organic, though. Well, can I have a blunt? Yes, you can have a blunt.

Yes. Come on, come on, Tyson. But let me finish picking you up, though, Tyson. And give me flowers, bro. I just, and more of your flowers. Because you know why, Tyson? I'm going to tell you something. Oh, this is a blunt.

Yeah. Smoke champs, baby. You back in Brownsville, baby. But organic Brownsville. We got smoke champs. We got gumbo. We got it all. You in new Brownsville, baby. But organic Brownsville. We got smoke chips, we got gumbo, we got it all. You in New Brownsville. But let me just tell you why.

I feel like every person in this audience has faced the same diversity that you faced. They might have not been able to get over it in the way you have done, but they will. And I feel like that's what being a heavyweight champion is, is knowing that we can never reach your level, but thinking that we can. No, that's not how it goes. You can always reach my level.

You know, my level is, listen, I don't know who I am right now. If I know who I am right now at this stage in my life, my thinking would be pretty limited. I don't know who I'm going to be. You're still growing as a person? No, my thinking is growing. I don't know who I'm going to be when I'm 75 growing as a person? No, my thinking is growing. I don't know who I'm going to be when I'm 75 or 80.

I'm not going to be the person I am now. Right. It's just that we have to prepare for our expiration day. And the objective of doing ayahuasca is for people who are afraid of dying. And so that's what the plant medicine and the animal medicine is for, preparing us to go to death with dignity. Not for growth? You don't think that's for growth?

Death is growth. Or the end of growth. Or the beginning of it. The beginning. We don't know. And this is why I love recession. Let's give this man his flowers, bro. Let's give him his flowers, man. Let's go, man. Let's give him his flowers. Please. Please. I don't Thank you. thank you, thank you.

As you know, I guess you wouldn't know the lingo because you guys are really heavy drinkers, but when you expressed you had flour to give me, I thought you were talking about cannabis. We got cannabis too? We're gumbo, you ain't giving me gumbo? Gumbo, you ever gave me the gumbo? I don't believe that.

I haven't seen that in my life yet. Oh, you haven't seen that? I haven't gave you the gumbo? I haven't seen that in a while. Oh, you haven't seen that in a while. I gave you the gumbo too, baby. I'm very grateful, very grateful, thank you. We outside, listen, listen, listen, I'm going to be honest, Mike. We will never have the greatest heavyweight champion,

but let's just be clear, because I feel like you're humble, so you was about to stop me. But we will never have the greatest heavyweight human being that you have become ever again. Because, thank you.

I'm going to tell you why. We got a group chat with every motherfucking black media motherfucker in the world. And I like to critique the motherfuckers. I like to sit on them. And when that incident happened, every single person said, Mike,

has to be cleared. And it wasn't Mike has to be cleared because Mike is this. It was Mike has cured himself. Next time Mike touched somebody, he might get killed. That got scary. That's got scary. That's the real deal. But Mike, let's just be clear.

Let's just love each other and talk about nice things. We love you. That's what this is about, Mike. You turn to some other shit. But Mike, that's what this is about. Let me just tell you something, Mike. Me and my wife, we used to say, poof, everything that just happened doesn't exist anymore.

But let me say something, Mike, I'm going to be honest, and I'll be like, because I know I'm probably old. I'm old. Tell me about old. I'm 44. You're 10 years younger than me. And listen, and why do you feel all old? But let me just be clear. Let me just tell you why.

Because my... Not why I feel old, but let me just tell you why I love you. No, no, no. I want to talk about old. I can't get back to old, baby. No, no, no. Let me just say something.

Some of the best times of my life is watching Michael Jordan beat the Knicks, which I hated because I'm from New York City, and watching Mike Tyson knock niggas out in 13 seconds. Well, Michael Jordan is from New York.

Originally? Yeah. Yes, Michael Jordan is from New York. He's from Brooklyn. I didn't know that. Originally. Me and him born in the same hospital.

Wow. Born in the same hospital. Spike Lee too. Spike Lee. Me and Big Un born on the same day, same time. Our mothers must have

met because they had the babies the same moment. They were together, yeah. What the fuck? Isn't that crazy? A lot of shit happened in there. New York City, nigga!

That's real. That's real, but I'm going to be honest, Mike. My father was a boxer. Were you lying all this time? No, no. My father was a boxer. My father was a boxer. I used to box in a gym called the Lost Battalion.

I was never good. In Queens? Yes, in Queens, motherfucker. And guess what, EFN? We used to hear about this legendary figure. Sick chick. Sick guy, man. Custom model.

Yes. Was a frequent person that came there. My father loved custom model. But when they spoke about this guy and what's crazy about Mike

still to this day is you're a beast in the ring. You're a gentleman in real life. I like to believe that. You are that, man. Thank you. I like to believe that. I like to believe that.

You know, I have a wife and I have a daughter, and they like keeping me in check that I'm a human being. I've realized they got you in check. You are. You are. My wife is back there. She got me in check that I'm a human being. I've realized they got you in check. You are human. My wife is back there. She got me in check, too. I'm going to be honest. Mike, let me ask you this real quick, though. What impact has hip-hop had for you during your career and life,

like generationally, like the generations of hip-hop in the 90s versus now, like what has hip-hop done for you, the music, the culture? Hip-hop gave me pride because that's our music. You know, when it first came out, everybody was like, oh, shit, even my parents, oh, that's disgusting. That's disgusting. Oh, my God, you're just going to go to prison and jail. The cops are going to arrest you.

And I used to always, after training, having a couple of fights, must have won the nationals when I was young, 14, 15. I always come home to see visit. I go right to Latin Quarters. That was my spot, Latin Quarters. Latin Quarters on 56th Street? Yeah, right there. But you must have been a kid at that point.

Huh? You was a kid. Yeah, but when I went there, all the kids that I used to hustle with and rob with, they were there. But I had stopped doing that. But they're still my friends. Right. So that's why I always had that connection. You may see me with certain guys.

Mike shouldn't be with that guy. But this guy used to live in my building. We went to school together. Yeah, so that became a really serious problem. They see me hanging out with these weird guys. They say, who are these guys? I say, this guy got my sister pregnant. This guy lives in the same building as me. I don't know.

I don't think they're no gangsters. They're not scary to me. Right. But I think society thinks different. And we talk about the tunnel days. Ah! Did I get Mike hyped? I'm sorry. You got Mike hyped.

The tunnel days, speed. Ooh. That was our youth, huh? Yeah. When K-Slate died and Rest in peace to K-Slate. And I said, fuck, that was my youth. Rest in peace to K Slade. Yeah, and... Biz, I said, fuck, that was my youth. Rest in peace to Biz.

I'm not going to lie, Tyson. He used to always go there. He was DJ at Latin Quarters. I used to be the little nigga around, but every time you came around, I definitely avoided you. I was scared to death of you. I always loved you, though.

No, I wasn't famous back then. No, nigga, I always... Listen, I knew about you before you became... I knew about all those niggas. Are you going to pick me up? You picking me up? Nah, nigga, I always knew business. I knew about you before you became, I knew about all those niggas. Are you going to pick me up? You picking me up? Nah, nigga, I'm telling the truth. That's because of Tyson picking me up, goddammit.

That's why I was premature. He was getting to that. No, but I used to go, let me just tell you something. It was so beautiful to see the heavyweight champion of the world in New York City. No, I was the hip-hop champion, nigga.

That's what... No. Yes. I am the champion in the hip-hop era for me. It's facts. But I thought he was bigger than the hip-hop. I was the champion. No, the hip-hop...

Listen, this is the deal, right? This is facts what he said. This is facts. Guys like us, we're never bigger than hip-hop or boxing because that gives us a great platform. I just tweeted out, no one's bigger than the culture. And that's what I was going to ask him.

I was going to ask him, did you know that although you were an athlete, although you were in boxing, did you know how hip-hop you were? Absolutely. What you were to the culture. Yes, I listened to the music all day while I was training. Right. Before I go to bed.

It just became who we were. Hip hop created a new species of person. And that person was embodied in Mike Tyson? And him, and you, don't put it all on me. And him, and him, and those guys like that. Everybody over there. It was a sexy thing. And that's what it is And that's what it is.

That's what it is. It created a new species of human being. Yeah, really. And we say that. We say that all the time. We actually say that. I mean, I'm going to be honest. I'm sorry. I was being honest the whole time.

Okay. Are you lying right now? No, but doing the research, you know, doing the research and just sitting back and saying, damn. We had the greatest heavyweight champion of all times. And we still have the greatest heavyweight champion of all times. And when I say we,

I do mean New York City. I do mean Brooklyn. I do mean Queens. I do mean, but you know what I also mean? I mean hip-hop. I mean for all of us, the country. I mean our culture. The culture, the country, everybody, the world.

Everything that the country possesses, America possesses, hip-hop, entrepreneurs, businessmen, billionaires, criminals. You know what I mean? So listen, I'm going to say this to you. When hip-hop first started, when it first started in the early 80s, and you look at the top 20 hip-hop stars,

they've all been locked up. Now these guys have been in private schools. All these guys, you know, the top 20 hip hop stars, they all been locked up. Now these guys have been in private school, all these guys, you know, they have tutors. You were tutors, bro? No, I did three and a half years in jail, though. Yeah. That's real. Yeah, but you look at a guy like Topher.

Spoffy, because you was in Spoffy. Absolutely. That's why I met my soul, Muhammad Ali, in Spoffy. You met Muhammad Ali? Muhammad Ali came to talk to the kid, and I said, wow, I want to be like him. When I was 12. What unit you was in, you remember? A3.

I was in D3. A3, yeah. You were the big boys, though. D3 was like the older. I was a shooter. Yeah, you were a bad kid. I was a foul nigga, Mike. Yeah, I know.

That's why you were in A3, man. Bad child. I apologize. Everybody, like when I first went to Spar kid. I was a foul nigga, Mike. Yeah, I know that's why you're 83 now. Bad child. I apologize. Everybody, like when I first went to the spa, I was so scared. And then when I went to the lunch, yo, Mike, yo, Mike, yo, Dirty Ike, Dirty Ike. I saw them, I thought they were dead. I said, this is where you've been.

You've been here. Fuck, I thought you were dead. Dirty Ike. Dirty Ike. I thought these guys were, so then once I knew what my whole neighborhood was, I kept going, kept going. He was like, Ike. I thought these guys were... So then once I knew what my whole neighborhood was, I kept going and kept going. He was like, Ike. Yeah, I kept going.

And then one day I saw Muhammad Ali. I said, wow, I want to be like him. As soon as I got transferred to the next facility, it was a gentleman named Bobby Stooter who used to be an ex-professional fighter. And he started teaching me how to fight. And prison. Yeah, an institution.

Institution. I was a young kid. Right. Upstate. And they said, I'm going to introduce you to a gentleman that's going to take you

to the next level. And that was Customado. Mm. Applause It's such a beautiful story every time you hear about you, Customado, Catskills, because...

The thing about New York is New York, we're right here. But then it's another like little place that's still New York. It's the state of New York. It's New York State. Come on, guy. That you can either go to jail there. Well, listen, that's funny that you said that. 385, 9W, straight all the way to Kasaki, all the jail up there. All that road.

Yep. On that road. On that road. So you could either go to jail there or train there. Yes, yes, you're right. And you chose the train there. After I did time. I totally forgot that. After I did time. I totally forgot that part.

After I did time. I totally, but... How is that? Like, how is that period of... Because New York at this time is... Albie Square Mall is... Chain snatching, taking niggas motorcycle.

It's even taking pocketbooks at this time. Bum rush in the store. Yeah, bum rush in the store. That's why we're busting rush at the jewelry store all the time. Jesus, Mike, my bad. That sounds like right now, guys. You know New York is bad again. Really?

The country, everything's bad. Oh, you haven't been back? I've never been treated bad. No one's going to treat Mike Tyson bad. You're good, everything's bad. Oh, you haven't been bad? I've never been treated bad. No one's going to treat Mike Tyson bad. You're good, you're good. Listen, somebody's on drugs, they don't even know I'm Mike Tyson. No, I think they do. You know, that reminds me, because there was somebody, we see footage of somebody who says, Mike, we love you.

And I'm going to tell you something. Guy goes, Mike, we love you. And then he has a gun on him, right? But he moves out the way. And I'm going to tell you what I did. I called my Uncle Wise. Shout out to Uncle Wise. Shout out to my Uncle Wise.

And I told my Uncle Wise, I said, yo, Uncle Wise, those have been my fans, the same exact fans for years. If you listen to my fans, my fans have always come up to me like, what's up, nigga? They mad aggressive. And if you actually look at their gestures, it is not right.

But if you listen to what they're saying. It's all love. It's all love. They're saying, what's up, nigga? I did a bid to you, even though that's fucked up. Why are you telling me you did time to my music? Don't like it. We all express love differently.

Love is love. Even though he expressed that love pretty crash, you understood everything he said. But you didn't even move, Mike. He said, Mike, I love you. You, he's pretty crash. You understood everything he said, but you didn't even move Mike He said he said Mike. I love you. You won't like that. I was too high. It was too hot The fucking comedian Bob David often this guy's standing in front of the comedians talking shit. I love you you my man I said what the fuck are you doing? What are you doing?

And this other guy starts, get the fuck out. Then he pulls out the gun. I'll kill you, nigga. You know, that type of shit. I said, my friend, come here, give me a hug. Just chill out, just be cool, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay, man, it's okay.

Did you see the footage? No. Oh, listen, homeboy pulled out a gun. Tyson said, come here, let me give you a hug. No, no, listen. The world needs more of that. Listen, I can look at the gentleman that I knew he didn't want to hurt me.

I've dealt with people like that too. You already knew what time it was. I knew that too. I've dealt with people that wanted to hurt me. Right, you knew what time it was. Okay, so I knew he didn't want to hurt me. And he kept saying, Tyson, you a legend, but fuck this nigga.

Yeah. You so fucking, you Tyson, you a legend, but fuck this nigga. He was so ugly. You cool, you cool, fuck you. He was like, yeah, and Tyson, you dealt with that shit in a way where I was like, damn. Nah, nigga, I'm possessed with so much fucking love, man. That one nigga's want to kill himself. Hold on, hold on, hold on. There's this famous clip.

I mean, you lived the clip. You was there. Arsenio Hall's show, when he showed love, I think it was Sugar Ray. Muhammad Ali. And who else? Muhammad Ali. There was a third person there.

Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, and what was it? No, it was them three. No, he was the one showing love to them. Yes. Like. And then they asked him if Muhammad Ali would fight him in his prime. But this is the thing, this is the thing. The idea that that is passed around today, that clip, as an example.

And I just want to say, what is that an example of to you? Never mind what we think that is an example of. What is an example of to you? Never mind what we think that is an example of. What is an example of to you what that clip represents? The student giving respect to the master. That's exactly what I would have said. Definitely. And it was so evident and so dope. You know,

again, I want to reiterate. No, I want to reiterate. I saw that nigga at 12 when I'm here talking to you. What'd you say? I saw Ali when I was 12 years old. Wow.

And my whole life. I'm here talking to you now. What? Rich and all that shit. What? Just looking at somebody. Ali? Yeah.

Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And it's going to take us to heal us. It's Mental Health Awareness Month.

I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid.

Let's just know no only an idiot want to be a master I'm fucked up right now. He killed that

Just make noise for it Let me ask you let me ask us I'm watching every documentary I'm watching all your fights because I wanted to be a good journalist and one thing that I kept noticing that kept seeing was Trump Plaza right and I'm people more fights than anybody but he wasn't racist back then back then who was he how do you define racism and I mean the fun back then when you say that a Mexican or mexicans is racist i define that as racism right because he said every one of the mexicans and i i i was offended of that when he made that statement i was offended of him putting you know certain

children in what's those, the little blankets? What the, um, the shit? I thought... But just to be fair, it wasn't him necessarily. But I thought that was racism. It was his administration. But when I look back

and I see Russell Simmons, I see Mike Tyson, I see Puff Daddy, the person that we still doing business, we doing business with him right now. And I ask them and they say, well, he wasn't like that back then him and they say well he wasn't like that back then

well listen he wasn't like that because he was giving them free rooms and giving them free tickets of course he wasn't like that because you wouldn't you wouldn't afford

his rights no he was we're business partners you know listen you could be a business partner with anybody but yes we all go

to our separate banks that's just what it is right this world is a business partner with anybody, but we all go to our separate banks. That's just what it is. This world is a business. Black people are business. Black people are politics. Why? White people are politics. They made this worse because that's what we are. We don't even know how old we are. How old are you? 55,

you say? No, I'm 44. 55, I think. Yo, chill. I didn't say you were my 44. I'm 55. How do we look at our age? How do we look at our age? How do we be? Let me ask you though. What?

You're 55, right? No, but when Trump started to lean towards racism, how did you feel? Because you had to be like, this is not this guy. Or did you say, this is this guy? I don't know. I just know that I have some bad qualities that people could point that to.

Great point. That's what I know. What's the glass rock shit? Can't throw rocks in a glass house. What did he say? Oh, yeah. Throw rocks in a glass house. Throw rocks. Throw rocks without sin. That's he say? Oh, yeah. Oh, rocks are fabulous. Don't worry, don't worry.
