The event took place at The Industrial Event Space in December 2023. Tyson, now 58, was the first guest of the evening as Shaq and co-host Adam Lefkoe recorded two episodes.
Tyson, known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet," showed up funny, open, and completely unfiltered. He talked about boxing, getting older, raising pigeons, and life after hanging up the gloves. Fans in the audience got to ask questions, and Tyson didn't hold back with his answers.
After the show, Tyson posted a photo with Shaq on Instagram, saying:
"Did The Big Podcast with Shaq yesterday. Always a good time with my brother @shaq."
His youngest daughter, Milan, commented, "This is so cute."
During the podcast, Tyson and Shaq talked about dealing with criticism from the public. Tyson didn't mince words:
"I don't give a f**k."
Shaq agreed. Both stars felt that caring too much about what others think can make you lose your edge in sports and entertainment.
They also chatted about life after the spotlight fades. Tyson talked about how well his cannabis business is doing and how he's changed since his boxing days.
Shaq joked about Tyson's upcoming fight with Jake Paul, poking fun at the matchup that's got everyone talking.
These days, Tyson focuses on being a mentor and working on himself. He often talks about fame, family, getting older, and healing.
The podcast gave Tyson a chance to show how he's grown, and it reminded fans why they love his larger-than-life personality.
Fans can look forward to watching the episode on YouTube soon. It'll be full of laughs, heart-to-heart moments, and some heavyweight storytelling from two of sports' biggest stars.
