      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Time rolls, Mike Tyson. Time doesn't give a fuck about any of us.

   3. MTMike Tyson0:15

      No.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      It just keeps going.

   5. MTMike Tyson0:17

      No, no. Don't wait for nobody.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      What was it like fighting again after all those years?

   7. MTMike Tyson0:26

      Hey, listen, I did this toad, this M- DMT stuff.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:31

      Right.

   9. MTMike Tyson0:31

      And I just, I lost that weight and I said, "I don't know what happened." I just don't know what happened. I just said, "I'm gonna do this."

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Well, it's funny because you talked to me on the podcast before, the first time you came on and you said, "I can't even work out."

   11. MTMike Tyson0:44

       Yes. Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       "'Cause if I work out, my ego will get excited."

   13. MTMike Tyson0:47

       But I did this toad and this toad, I said, "You gotta do it." It said, "You have to do it."

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       The toad told you?

   15. MTMike Tyson0:53

       Yeah. Yeah, you have to do it.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       The DMT told you it's time to fight?

   17. MTMike Tyson0:55

       Yeah. You have to do it.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Wow.

   19. MTMike Tyson0:56

       I lost the weight.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       Mm-hmm.

   21. MTMike Tyson1:01

       And it started off with me at first fighting Bob Sapp at first.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       That's right, the K-1 event.

   23. MTMike Tyson1:07

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       I was there for that. I was there live.

   25. MTMike Tyson1:08

       No, but man, I was gonna fight.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Yeah.

   27. MTMike Tyson1:10

       That was gonna be the first fight, yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       When you- when you got in the cr- in the ring with him, you said, "Martha, it's Queensberry rules."

   29. MTMike Tyson1:13

       No. Yeah, but listen, the fight- the fight I fought with Roy Jones was supposed to be with Bob Sapp.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       Oh, really? Oh, no kidding.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   No, by you dying,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      access to information.

   2. MTMike Tyson15:00

      No, by you dying, by you dying, you change the world.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      That too.

   4. MTMike Tyson15:04

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      By you living, you change the world.

   6. MTMike Tyson15:05

      Exactly.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Yeah. That's the thing. It's like every-

   8. MTMike Tyson15:08

      I think death got a bad rap. I think-

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      (laughs)

   10. MTMike Tyson15:11

       No, it has a bad rap. If life's a beaut-

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:13

       That's a great quote, though.

   12. MTMike Tyson15:13

       ... if life is beautiful, how could death be bad?

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       Well, it's inevitable, right?

   14. MTMike Tyson15:17

       Without life, there wouldn't be death. Without death, there wouldn't be life. How could they both be bad? You think God-

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       Right.

   16. MTMike Tyson15:21

       ... you think God would want us to be born and just be scared about dying? That's all, what I said, we're born, now we're scared to die.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       Well, we wanna stay alive, but we can't be scared of something that's inevitable, right?

   18. MTMike Tyson15:32

       No, we can't, we, we could be afraid, but we just can't cling to life.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       Right.

   20. MTMike Tyson15:35

       It's not in the front... And God wants us to be afraid. He just don't want us to think, after this, it's nothing.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Right. It always, uh-

   22. MTMike Tyson15:43

       I don't, I would like to think that he would think that-

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yeah.

   24. MTMike Tyson15:46

       ... we would believe after this, there's more than this. I believe-

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       That's a-

   26. MTMike Tyson15:50

       ... I believe once you die, you begin to live. That's my theory on dying.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       It certainly could be that. That sounds like, you tell that to, like, a pragmatic scientist, they'll, they'll act like we're crazy. But I think that if you have a psychedelic experience, you, you, one of the things you say to yourself is, "Okay, what is this?"

   28. MTMike Tyson16:07

       Tell a scientist-

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       "How is this even real?"

   30. MTMike Tyson16:08

       Have a scientist, tell the best scientist in the world-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. MTMike Tyson30:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      (laughs)

   3. MTMike Tyson30:00

      That's what he said, "You guys are so beautiful. God made you guys so beautiful. God..." He, all of his men, he, like every one of his men that got killed, next thing you know, they got Afghanian generals. They're saying, "We supposed to rule these people." (laughs) "Why we got these guys as generals?" He fell in love with them. They got him high off the hash and all that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:16

      Wow.

   5. MTMike Tyson30:17

      They fell in love with them.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      Wow. That makes sense. It really does.

   7. MTMike Tyson30:22

      That's why, you see, you see how Alex- the, the, uh, Afghanistan got that bushy hair? That's, uh, Alexander. His men, the, the Greeks back then, had... They were mixed back then, the Greeks-

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:31

      Wow.

   9. MTMike Tyson30:31

      ... so they had the bushy hair, too. You look at Greeks now, they don't have the bushy hair like they had back then.... they, they wouldn't have mountain men.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       Well the, we, we know the Vikings took a lot of mushrooms.

   11. MTMike Tyson30:42

       (sighs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       We know that.

   13. MTMike Tyson30:43

       Listen, the Vikings were just getting high on anything.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       (laughs)

   15. MTMike Tyson30:46

       Blood, bones, whatever, man. The Viking, that was an interesting-

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:50

       Yeah.

   17. MTMike Tyson30:50

       ... that was interesting. There's nothing, you know, you would think-

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       Nothing like that.

   19. MTMike Tyson30:53

       ... you would think they're not savages. They're just great fighters.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       Right.

   21. MTMike Tyson30:56

       But they, they live a, a very, um, respectable life, healthy life.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       (sighs)

   23. MTMike Tyson31:01

       Great culture.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       Great, there was a, a strong culture. Like a fierce warrior culture. And then those people, like, populated places like Iceland.

   25. MTMike Tyson31:09

       I know, but listen, those guys, those vicious savages, those guys are farmers.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:14

       Yeah.

   27. MTMike Tyson31:14

       You look at these Vikings, they, they marauders. These guys are farmers, they're just farmers that know how to fight.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:19

       Yeah, after a while they did kind of become farmers, right?

   29. MTMike Tyson31:22

       Yeah. Well, y- y- more than fighting, you gotta, you gotta-

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:24

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Oh, no. (laughs) …

   1. MTMike Tyson45:00

      at you, "No, no, that's not a good day."

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Oh, no. (laughs)

   3. MTMike Tyson45:02

      Don't go in there that day when they just looking at you.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      It's crazy that people love to have, uh, pets like that. They love it. Like to, to live in an apartment and have a tiger like that.

   5. MTMike Tyson45:12

      And then I can kill them. Yeah, they ... Um, if you-

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:14

      How much do you have to feed it?

   7. MTMike Tyson45:16

      Listen.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      And where's all the shit going?

   9. MTMike Tyson45:19

      They, they don't eat much, but they eat all day.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       Oh.

   11. MTMike Tyson45:22

       They eat a little all day.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:25

       Well, they're so big.

   13. MTMike Tyson45:26

       They ... Listen.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       So you must be just giving it raw meat, right?

   15. MTMike Tyson45:28

       Yeah, chicken, yeah, a lot of chicken. I like giving them chicken and I give them horse meat.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Like you give them a whole chicken, right?

   17. MTMike Tyson45:35

       I'm gonna get two or three of them, but then I give them the horse meat. This is when it gets fun, when you get the whole side of a cow or side of horse-

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       Oh, wow.

   19. MTMike Tyson45:43

       ... like this whole rib and you just throw it in and they slam it, boom, and hit it against the fence and hit it in the air and then grab it and they run inside. (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:50

       Wow.

   21. MTMike Tyson45:51

       Like a joke.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       Did you ever see, um, the video from the Iraqi zoo when, uh, the US soldiers first took it over? Did you ever see that?

   23. MTMike Tyson45:59

       No, no, he had a ... He had the giraffes and all that stuff there.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       Well, there was an Iraqi zoo and when the US soldiers first got there, the way they would feed the lions-

   25. MTMike Tyson46:08

       They'd feed them with-

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       ... is they would just let goats go, just let them go and let the lions kill them and everybody would watch.

   27. MTMike Tyson46:13

       Yeah, um, that's not good.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:15

       But isn't that the way they're supposed to do it?

   29. MTMike Tyson46:16

       No way.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       'Cause they'll get too into killing things.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:23

   It was nothing to…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      mode again? I saw you doing road work, I saw you hitting the bag, and working out with Rafael Cordeiro. I'm like, "This is wild to see."

   2. MTMike Tyson1:00:09

      It was nothing to me, but I was excited more because my friends were excited.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      Oh.

   4. MTMike Tyson1:00:15

      They're like, "Mikey, Mikey, how's your back? (laughs) Your back all right, Mike? You moving your fucking back?"

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

      Yeah.

   6. MTMike Tyson1:00:19

      "I wonder if your fucking back all right." And I said, "Mike, I can't believe you're doing this shit, Mike."

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

      (laughs)

   8. MTMike Tyson1:00:25

      I said, "Mike, you're fucking crazy. You're doing this shit? I said, "Fuck, you're doing this shit, Mike? Fuck."

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

      It was crazy for all of us to watch.

   10. MTMike Tyson1:00:30

       (laughs) I said, "Mike, don't do this shit, man." And look, listen, I love Dana, right? Dana White's my man, I don't care. No one could... I could never say nothing bad about him. So he said, "Mike, I don't want you to fight, man. I'm gonna get you a job, make you some money." He gets me the goddamn Shark Week job. He gets me the job, I got to sh- put the shark asleep now.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       (laughs)

   12. MTMike Tyson1:00:51

       He doesn't want me to fight and get knocked out and beat up, but he wants me to go in there and put a shark to sleep.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:56

       How the fuck do you put a shark to sleep? You rub his belly?

   14. MTMike Tyson1:00:59

       You play with... Yeah, yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

       Oh, his chin? What the fuck?

   16. MTMike Tyson1:01:00

       You play with his chin. Like, "Hey, little buddy," and he's real big and now... Listen.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       What? (laughs)

   18. MTMike Tyson1:01:05

       And then, so I- I got the shark, like the nine-footer. I got hi-... I- I made him, um, catatomic.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:11

       (laughs)

   20. MTMike Tyson1:01:11

       He, he freaked out and just chilled, right? So, um, the next day I have to do the tiger shark. The tiger shark is the most aggressive shark. He's a monster. Look how big, how big is a tiger shark?

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:21

       Oh, my God.

   22. MTMike Tyson1:01:23

       How big is a tiger shark?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       They're very aggressive, aren't they?

   24. MTMike Tyson1:01:25

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:28

       I think they're like 14 feet.

   26. MTMike Tyson1:01:29

       Well, check this out. How big is this tiger shark?

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:31

       I think a big one is like that. (make up sound with mouth)

   28. NANarrator1:01:34

       Yeah, 14.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:35

       14?

   30. MTMike Tyson1:01:36

       All right. So they do this, so they do... Excuse me. No racist... They do this white shoe with me. They go, "All right, Mike. So we got the tiger shark tomorrow, all right? He's more aggressive, of course, so you have to move differently with this guy. And he's gonna come at you, but when he comes you go underneath his neck when he tries to attack. You go underneath and, and you slip-
