Mike Tyson has always been ready to push the boundaries of his imagination. With the life experiences he has amassed over the years, coupled with numerous psychedelic experiences, he has been able to dish out profound wisdom from time to time. Case in point, during the recently concluded podcast show Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, he has regaled a wide variety of guests with his unique takes on myriad subject matter. However, sometimes his opinions border on the controversial.

In the recent episode of Impaulsive, a discussion on whether the dinosaurs ever existed suddenly veered towards the moon landing conspiracy theory. And yes, Mike Tyson believes it was faked! But why does he think that way? Let’s dive into the discussion between Logan Paul, Mike Majlak, and Mike Tyson as they venture into tricky territory.

Conspiracy mode is on for Mike Tyson!

Amid a conversation about drugs on Impaulsive, the co-host of the show, Mike Majlak, suddenly asked Tyson, “So, you think dinosaurs are doing meth?” ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ gave a baffling take — “I think dinosaurs invented all the drugs, I think all the residue, the sh*t, the pi**…. I think they invented all the drugs.” 

Then, talking about dinosaurs, Mike got reminded of what Phoenix Suns Power Forward Kevin Durant said to him about the extinct creatures not too long ago. “Kevin Durant, about that dude, he was positive. He said, ‘We don’t know what they looked like, we don’t know where these bones are coming from, I do not believe that dinosaurs existed’ What do you say to that?”

In response, Tyson’s remark about moon landings would certainly divide opinions, to say the least. “I don’t believe the man walked on the moon. He [Durant] can say that about dinosaurs, I don’t believe these ni**as walked on moon.” Hearing Tyson’s take, Logan Paul agreed with his assertion.

Elaborating on why he thinks the moon landings were faked, Tyson said confidently, “This recently happened like 30 years, 40 years ago, or something right. They look like little toys up there. They look like toys… yo remember, like we had those little….you know those space things… look like um rock em sock em robots!”

Safe to say, the aesthetics of the moon landing footage wasn’t convincing for Mike Tyson. Hopefully, the last surviving member of the Apollo 11 crew, Buzz Aldrin, doesn’t get to watch the former heavyweight legend question his claim to fame. Heck, Neil Armstrong might be rolling in his grave! Jokes apart, for those unversed, the United States sent the first manned spacecraft to the moon in 1969. The nation was successful in its endeavor, and it marked the first time in history that humans landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first and second individuals to land on the moon respectively.

This wasn’t the first time Mike Tyson wore his tin foil hat. Wait, till you hear his take on aliens!

Who are human beings?

In a conversation with Joe Rogan on his widely popular show The Joe Rogan Experience in 2020, Tyson was asked by the American podcaster, “What do you think about Aliens, Mike?” Tyson answered back by stating that human beings are descendants of aliens.

Adding fuel to the former heavyweight champion’s theory, Rogan said, “There’s a lot of people that believe we’re the product of aliens. That aliens came down and did some experiments with lower hominids and did some accelerated genetic experiments and created people.”

Meanwhile, Tyson queried that he wasn’t sold on the idea of humankind being spawned from “Adam and Eve”, and preferred the aliens theory instead.

“Perhaps they [aliens] were getting extinct, they were dying and they had to breed the lower – whatever you were saying – lower hominids, and this is us,” Tyson further stated.
