Mike Tyson did an awkward freestyle rap in front of a puppet

Somehow, Mike Tyson agreed to do an interview with a puppet inside his house. Speaking to Awkward Puppets character Diego (voiced by Rudy Mancuso), Tyson answered some off-kilter questions with equally off-kilter responses. Here are some highlights:

“What was your favorite arrest?”

Tyson: “When I bought a Ferrari and I didn’t know how to drive the Ferrari, and it was idling, and it was like consumers or something and it just went through the window. The glass window, you know, it went through.”

Diego: “I have no idea what’s going on right now.”

Tyson: “My car went through the glass window and I had to get arrested because of property damage.”

Diego: “Oh, okay. I see. That’s a pretty good one.”

“If I gave you beat right now, could you freestyle?”

Tyson: “I believe I can.”

[Diego drops a beat and Tyson starts beat boxing, then stops]

Tyson: “Am I the beat boxer or are you the rapper?”

Diego: “I don’t know. That was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“Mike, do you speak Spanish?”

Tyson: “Poquito.”

Diego: “Very good.”

“Would you ever run for president?”

Tyson: “Of what particular universe?”

Tyson then brought his son Morocco to meet Diego, who then bit Rocco’s finger (because Tyson told him to), and got slapped for it. “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing talking to the puppet,” Tyson concluded. “I’m losing my mind.” Sure, but you also gave us a pretty good and uncomfortable interview, Mike.
