Mike Tyson Had Pet Tigers and That's Somehow the Most Normal Thing About Him (Are you Sh!#ing Me?)

from Are You Sh!#ing Me? · host Are You Sh!#ing Me? - Podcast

What happens when you have so much money that the laws of normal life just... stop applying? In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett breaks down one of the most unhinged (and somehow totally believable) facts about Mike Tyson — the man literally owned full-grown Bengal tigers in the 1990s. Not at a zoo. At his house. We're talking real tigers, real consequences, and one very unfortunate visitor who found out the hard way that apex predators don't care about your net worth. Brett explores how the incident spiraled into legal and financial fallout, and what it says about the fine line between "exotic pet owner" and "temporarily coexisting with something that could end you." Equal parts funny, wild, and oddly philosophical — this one's worth every minute. Cheers.
