Forgeard said, “We were doing the twitch stream with the gambling and we had mic on, and to call them you had to like facetime them to bring them on the screen. So I f**ked up. I wasn’t even thinking, and I pulled up the contacts and it said Mike Tyson and it showed his number. And right after I did it, he started getting blown up, and it kept freezing.”

8000,” he reverted.
