I’ve been learning a lot about Tyson lately as I was really into his podcast when it first started and still enjoy it to this day.

I never knew his daughter passed when she was four due to trying to run on his treadmill. This video clip broke my heart, seeing how Mike has transformed over the years. It really seems like DMT saved him, not to go all Joe Rogan. After the DMT ceremony, he seemed like himself still, but just at peace.

There was a long period of time where Mike was not at peace with himself, was self-medicating heavily, and the media tore him apart.. what was going on behind the scenes, was fucked up though.

I know Mike uses violent words to describe his emotions and feelings, but I honestly see the dude as a gentle giant - at the end of this clip he said “I just have to grow up.. I have to start being a man”, because he couldn’t take it and ended the interview because he started to cry..

He’s more self-aware than the media every portrayed him to be, he just had serious demons and although everything looked golden for him, things were still tough and got bad..

The treadmill was at the mother's house. But yeah, that's got to fuck up a person bad.
