Joe Rogan | Mike Tyson Says He Smokes $40K Worth of Weed a Month

Yeah. Mike Tyson, we were talking when you went to the bathroom, Mike Tyson says he smokes $40,000 a week. He also sells weed, so he just charges himself a lot of money. He gets high on his own supply. There's no way you can smoke $40,000 worth of weed. I mean, maybe like his whole crew... Yeah, to say it's about himself, there's no way. A month? How much is $40,000? I want to see what it looks like in a room. Yeah, I'm not buying that. It would be a pile that you could fall into and take a nap. You could definitely like beanbag chair. You could fly through the air when you're back with confidence. Well, you're getting it in bulk, so it's going to be probably like $100 an ounce. It's getting even worse. Even less than that. If you're going to spend $40,000, they'll give you more than $40,000 worth. You know what I mean? Just to be like here, man. I don't know. It says here, we smoke 10 tons of weed at the ranch a month. Oh my God. This is Britain, said, Eben? Is that how you say his name? Eben? Eben? Eben, Britain? So 10 tons of weed is $40,000. That doesn't seem right, does it? None of that seems right. Seems like it would be more money than that. That's 20,000 pounds of weed. That's impossible. He obviously could have easily been joking and laughing while he said this too. We're reading it in print, but he's like, pfft, dude, we smoke 10 tons a month. Yeah, this is on the podcast. Yeah, it might be weed talk. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but it sounds like something I would say. More than you could ever possibly imagine. But it's like, if we can wake up and just keep burning, then we burn all the time. We don't even breathe. I'm going to throw out a wild number, 40 million. 40 tons. There you go. Now, 40 million is not right. 40,000? Someone should, some journalist should do, like, do, just make an image of this is what $40,000 worth of weed looks like. Yeah, it's going to be more than even like Tyson and his crew can smoke. Wouldn't it fill this whole room? I think it would be when it was like shipping crates. Is it even? Somebody already did it. Somebody already did it. Somebody already did it. Is it even, there's a graph. Is it even possible to smoke $40,000 a weed a month? 900 eighths. That's actually not that much. But with a crew, 900, think about it. If you do two gram blunts, that's two blunts per eighth, essentially, a little bit less. This guy's got it broken down. This guy really could just tell you how much it is in bulk. He's giving you, 900 eighths seems a little bit lazy to even write. 1800 blunts between Mike Tyson's crew is not actually that much for a month. It's not that much. Now, when I'm looking at how this guy's saying it, he's saying it's basically four blunts per hour. That's totally possible if you've got a large number of people with you. I will never question Mike Tyson again. Ever. This is it. Ever. Ten tons. That's not still about ten tons. I think we're being silly. I think they were joking around. I bet a lot of it they give away, too. You know, they might go through a personal stash of that much weed. I didn't know he has a ranch. All right, Tyson's in the weed game, son. All in. Dude, he was one of the most fascinating guys at interview because I couldn't believe I was really talking to him. Yeah. So I can't believe that's really Mike Tyson. Like, there's some people like, you're talking to him like, that's really Mike Tyson? This is crazy. It doesn't make sense. What he's been through in his life, yeah, you're like, now he's here somehow? Knowing him as a kid when he was the fucking man and you'd see him on the cover of these magazines, like Kid Dynamite when he was 19 years old on Sports Illustrated, and just smashing everyone in front of him and then all of a sudden he's hanging with you. Yeah, it's very strange. Chill, too. And it's also just a fall from grace and then a resurgence. It's still weird resurgence, too. Like, nobody ever saw him becoming like, you know, a cartoon character and like a fucking Broadway actor and a one-man show and now a weed rancher. That's bananas. Who saw that? Nobody said that was going to be Mike Tyson's trajectory. Yeah. I just hope he doesn't get me, too. The trajectory of when I found out who he was when I was a kid and started getting his, like, very shortly after you saw what a monster he was was that Robin Givens interview where he just sat there like a doofus while she was like, yeah, he beats up me and rapes my mom and he's like, Mm-hmm. A kid's always stewing and just going like, when these cameras go off, oh, boy. You better hope that then if you go down for four days. Wasn't there some talk about them medicating him? Wasn't that part of what was happening? Like, they were trying to sedate him? Maybe. I just remember him talking about him in that documentary. Yeah. In the documentary. And he was just like, he said he was just so he couldn't believe she was saying it. So he was just like silent. But if you watch it, it seems like he's furious and just trying to not say something angry. Because it was just the hard side. Because it was just so the key to Mike Tyson is that he always seemed like he was furious. Yeah. And he even talked about it once. He goes, I'm just mad. I'm mad at my dog. I'm mad at everything. And that's when he was at the top of the heap, man. But now he's like this peaceful, friendly guy. He had to overcompensate for all that. That's why he needs 40,000. This is childhood. It was all therapy, right? He had to be, he has to have like 20 therapists. He beat up the first seven of them. I mean, to be a great fighter, you have to be able to look at yourself. You have to be able to look at your skills. You still, doesn't mean you still can't make horrific mistakes, but you have to be able to look at yourself. It's the only way you get any better. The best fighters have an understanding, even if they have ego problems, they still have a pretty good understanding of who they are. And that's, that can benefit you if you use it. I'm sure he probably went through therapy, but he didn't necessarily, he could probably have figured it out on his own. Just because he's a smart guy. He's a smart guy that grew up in a horrible, horrible way, where the first love he had was an old boxing trainer that turned him into a murderer. And that was the first love that guy experienced. His life was horrible, man. And from him being adopted by Customado when he was a little kid and having extreme physical gifts as well, it was this perfect storm. Dude, they said when he was 13, he weighed 190 pounds. Teddy Atlas used to bring him to boxing, the smoker events, and they were like, yeah, he's fucking 13. And they put him in with a 16 year old because nobody wanted to believe that a 13 year old could be jacked like that. Well, when Jay, when Jay was 13 years old, he weighed like 220. I think it's a different kind of weight. Was it different built? I would knock the motherfuckers out. He's built like a goddamn tank. Yeah, that's not a 13 year old you want to fight. Also fun fact, he is the reason Mike Tyson, solely, is the reason why now if you're on TV for even five minutes, they start scurrying about your tattoos being covered, or can you get a release for them all? Because when he came on a, was it the Hangover movie? The company that did, or the tattoo artist that did his face tattoo sued for like, I think one for like millions of dollars. What? That's so crazy. How's that possible for doing the movie? Because they used that purchase of artwork without them. Once you put a tattoo on somebody, you claim part ownership of that person now? It makes tattoos so much gayer.
