• The Last Dance: Dennis Rodman's life: from sleeping on the street to winning the NBA, a suicide attempt and the courtship with Madonna

Imagine a chat for more than an hour between Dennis Rodman and Mike Tyson, two unique sports icons from the 90s. Well, it is not necessary to imagine it, the conversation took place this weekend and was recorded in the 'Hotboxing' podcast. . An hour of verbal debauchery where the eccentric former NBA player uncovered a handful of anecdotes. Among them, that first binge with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un .

The two (Rodman and Kim Jong-un) met in an exhibition match played in the Asian country. The guest was Michael Jordan , but, due to circumstances, he ended up coming. Upon arriving at the pavilion, Rodman ran into the North Korean leader: "22,000 North Koreans stand up and applaud. Then I greet and someone says to me, 'It's not for you, it's for him,' pointing to Kim Jong-un. I ask him: 'Who is that guy?' 'That's our leader,' he replied. That's how I knew who he was. "

After that first meeting, an intense night of revelry came. "I remember we are having dinner and very drunk, he starts singing at karaoke and he had no idea what the hell he was saying. Everyone starts clapping and then a band of 18 pretty girls comes out, but they only played one song. Just a fucking song. It was the Dallas theme. '"

Before leaving, Kim Jong-un told him to come back whenever he wanted and Rodman made it a condition that these women learn songs from the Rolling Stones or Pearl Jam: "When I returned, they sang the seven songs that I had told him." Since that first meeting, their friendship has been a public matter, which transcends politics. Hence his surprising connection also with Donald Trump : "Donald I love your golf courses, I love your wife, my daughter, I think you do a good job. I don't get into that, I liked it when we went out in Miami and played to golf. I like Donald. "

A night of sex before a game

Rodman was not shy about telling Tyson the entire two nights of sex, before a game. And, of course, the consequences it had: "I did it twice in my life, I didn't know it didn't help for the game. I tried to have sex all night before, but it didn't go too well. In the first quarter, the coach He said, 'Dennis, I have to talk to you ... I know what you did last night.' " Tyson admitted that he had never done it, but he knew boxers who had experienced it: "They said that without it they could not perform in the ring."

While they chatted, Tyson smoked a marijuana cigarette and Rodman, a cigar. And the thing ended in laughter when remembering one of their first encounters. "One day I was in a hotel in Las Vegas and I had the idea to go shopping in Versace. So they tell me that Mike Tyson was there and I said that it was okay, but then they started taking out all the people because Mike was there. That At the time I was a nobody. Mike was trying on some suits and a friend of mine addressed him: "Hey, how are you?" Mike turned around and hit him. Not hard, but a tap. Then, he came towards me and he said, 'I love you, but I'm going to kill that bastard who's right there. "

To finish off the talk, Tyson asked Rodman a curious question: "Have you ever tried a toad?" The question sparked quite a few laughs, of course. And is that the former heavyweight champion said a few weeks ago that he had smoked the poison of an amphibian and that, according to him, had cleaned his soul. However, Rodman rejected his proposal and admitted that he is somewhat afraid of trying such drugs.
