At Home with the Furys (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

1
I'll fight Tyson Fury anywhere, any time.
I'm coming for ya, Thor.
You're getting your sucker.
There's only room for one big dog.
-And that's me!
-I fucking love this, Tyson.
Me and you in the ring,
like fucking Vikings.
I am the fucking Viking, me.
Only ever has been me.
It's going to be a bloodbath,
but I fucking can't wait.
-Let's do this!
-Thor!
I'm going to come to Iceland
and cack about you, you big dosser.
[John] Another day in paradise, gentlemen.
[grunts softly]
Gotta be careful on these old steps.
-[bird chirping]
-They make a sweet sound, don't they?
Them kind of birds
don't give you an earache.
They don't want taking
to the Trafford Centre.
Don't want fortunes
spending in restaurants. [laughs]
A bit of bird seed, 50p.
[continues laughing]
They're the birds you want.
My worst quality
is how spur-of-the-moment I am.
I'm spontaneous
when it comes to doing anything.
Whether or not others say, "That's living
on the edge," and "That would turn me on."
I've always wanted to drive to Pompeii
or go there to see
the ancient ruins of Pompeii.
The Mount Visirus exploded
and walloped everybody.
[line ringing]
-Hello.
-Hello, Dad.
How you doing, mucker? You all right?
-What you doing?
-Just out here chilling in the field.
Fantastic. Right, do you wanna
fly to Pompeii tomorrow?
Go on, I'll be ready.
Trip with Tyson is now,
if he offers anything,
say yes straight away
'cause he changes his mind
so much, doesn't he?
"A holiday?" "Yes."
"But you don't know
where we're going?" "Yes."
Let me have a look at flights.
Go on then. I'll hold you to it.
Don't tell me lies.
If you're not going, say.
I'm not telling you lies.
I'm trying to
I'll have a look for some flights.
Go on then, that'll do then.
Let me know soon and I'll pack me stuff.
-See you in a bit.
-See you, all the best.
His life's all about erratic stuff,
you know, it's him, it's this, it's that.
It changes by the hour.
A mental health sufferer,
I know from experience,
you've to do something
'cause you can't just sit there.
Looks like we might be going to Pompeii.
That was even quick for my standards.
[Tyson] This will be a good trip.
I'll tell Paris when she gets back.
[exhales heavily]
[line ringing]
[Catherine] Hello, Tyson.
Hello, Catherine.
Can youse do Thursday until Saturday
to Pompeii, Italy, with me dad?
Send me the link and I'll do it now.
Go on.
[Paris] Disappearing to Italy
with your dad? Without me?
Boys' trip away.
How long have I said
I wanted to go to Pompeii?
-Dunno.
-Five years, six years.
Mmm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
And you was going to go without me.
I can't believe
you picked your dad over me.
If she told me,
"I'm going to Tenerife with my mother,"
I'd say, "Good. When are you going?"
"Need anything? Can I give you any money?
Can I help you pack your bags? What?"
I wouldn't be like, "Oh, my God,
I wanna go with you. This is so unfair!"
But Paris has made it clear
she's not happy, so I guess she's coming.
Now things have changed,
it's gone from a father/son trip away
to a dirty weekend away with the girls.
Can't beat it, can ya?
-What are you going to do with your dad?
-Well, he ain't going to go, is he?
I don't feel guilty
Dad's not going to Pompeii now.
I'll pretend the flights are cancelled.
He'll never know anything about it.
Call him then and tell him.
Tyson's dad, John, is, um,
traditional sort-of, old-fashioned ways.
[John] A couple of jackets
for the evening and shirts.
[Paris] I've been his daughter-in-law for
Oh, how long have I been married, 14
Fourteen years?
And we've never had an argument,
or a crossed word.
So that says a lot.
Can't wait to get on that plane,
tell you the truth.
But I wouldn't like to get
on his wrong side.
Even as the daughter-in-law. [chuckles]
Tyson, you better ring him again
'cause he's going to rock up
with a suitcase in a minute.
[John] Gentlemen, off to meet Tyson now.
Getting ready for tomorrow.
Traveling nice and light.
[line ringing]
-[John] Yes, Tys.
-Right? Got some bad news.
-Go on.
-We're not going.
The flights have been cancelled
from Manchester.
"The flights have been cancelled
from Manchester."
Typical, innit?
-So we're not going?
-Nope.
Well, there's nothing you can do.
-If you can't do it, you can't.
-No.
That is sickening. Rushing around,
getting ready, doing this and that.
All packed. Me bags are in the car.
Then a late phone call, we're not going.
Yeah.
All right, no problem, go on, Tyson.
I'll give you a ring back later on then.
Take care.
Ah, well, I am pissed off with him,
but that's what he does, ain't it?
He'll ring up one minute, "It's on,"
and then, "It's not."
Bit gutted, you know?
I build meself up, rush around,
100 miles an hour, getting stuff done,
and suddenly you're not going.
No north-west flights,
nearest one's Edinburgh, three-hour drive.
After telling me dad
the flights were cancelled,
it turns out that there was no flights
anyway to go to Pompeii, so
[clicks tongue] Done.
Don't think we're going to do it.
[Paris] Nothing's ever booked. Anything
we ever book, we don't get to go on.
I'd say nine times out of ten,
if we book something
more than three days in advance,
we don't go.
And I do think that comes down to Tyson.
I think that comes down to his
He's bipolar.
Um, I'm becoming more active with the word
because I know it's what triggers it.
[Tyson] Oh, my God, as well, yeah,
I just thought to meself.
Imagine going to Manchester Airport,
the queues there to get checked in.
I couldn't deal with that.
He can think, "We're booking it,
going to Jamaica, it'll be beautiful."
"We've always wanted to go, so we'll go."
Like, three days later he'll be like,
"I'm not going there."
"No, we can't do that.
The flight's too long."
"I wouldn't wanna go there.
Why would we go there?"
And I roll with it
because if I argue,
it gets us nowhere anyway.
What about a different destination then?
Munich, Germany?
Oh, I'm not going to Germany.
[Tyson] Tel Aviv, Israel? Bilbao, Spain?
-Definitely not.
-No?
I've learned to live with that.
And our last-minute holidays
are always the best.
[Tyson] I've got it. I know what to do.
What's the fucking big hotel
called in Scotland?
-[sighs]
-[Athena cooing]
Gleneagles.
I had a big row with Chris Tarrant
last time I was there.
It's nice that Tyson's now retired
because you get to see another side.
You get to see a guy
who's just a normal guy.
Go down the restaurant,
have a bit of food,
go to the cinema, whatever.
What's next for you, Tommy?
-I'm in the gym twice a day, daily.
-Yeah?
Preparing for whatever comes next.
We train together sometimes
and go out for food and whatever else.
We get on really well.
And he's flying, he's got millions
of followers on Instagram.
He's undefeated, he's done
really marvelous and I'm proud of him.
-How many fights have you had now, eight?
-Mmm.
Why can't you get out
two or three times this year?
I wanna have two more fights
by the end of the year, finish on 10-0.
Yeah, you've gotta keep busy.
I tend to steer away from the boxing chat.
I know how much Tyson loves boxing,
so the fact that I don't wanna brag,
"I've got a fight in a few weeks
and you haven't."
So I try to keep boxing talk at a minimum.
My dream is now,
do boxing, get as far as I can in that,
then I'd like to go into films.
-Movies?
-I've made my mind up, yeah.
But I think I'll have
an easier way into it,
'cause I don't wanna do serious acting,
I just wanna do horror films.
-Horror films?
-That's all I wanna do.
-You're a horror movie buff, ain't you?
-I only watch 'em.
[bubbling]
[Tyson] Thor's called me out today.
[Thor on video] Hey, guys, I hope
you're all having a great day.
Feeling good, feeling strong.
I'm training now up to three times a day.
[Tyson] Thor's a strongman weightlifter.
He's World's Strongest Man.
And he's a Game of Thrones actor.
We've had a bit of fun on Instagram,
me and Thor,
back and forward on the stories,
calling each other out, yada, yada, yada.
If it happens, it would be an exhibition,
bit of a fun show to entertain people.
I believe there's always 1%,
if I just dig deep enough
He gives himself a 1% chance
of knocking me out.
-He backs himself, doesn't he?
-Yeah.
It'd be the two biggest men
that's ever fought.
So it would be history in the making.
He's a nice man, isn't he?
He won't be when I write him off
with a right hand to the jaw.
In terms of filling a void,
all he's ever done is boxed and trained.
Obviously, he can keep training.
But, I know as a boxer,
all the time you're in the gym,
training, you wanna fight.
Straight out, bang, bang, bang,
down in a heap
like a big bag of Icelandic snow.
Can I beat Thor? Yeah. Seven days a week
and 62 times on a Sunday.
[laughs]
High maintenance having a bald head,
'cause it grows through
in two, three days.
[sighs]
The best surgeons in the world offered
to put a full head of hair back on.
And I've declined it many times
because it's took me a lot of pain,
a lot of hard work
to get to this stage in my life.
Why would I wanna rewind the clock
and go back through it all again?
[cell phone ringing]
Iceland.
Thor!
I'm coming for you, Thor.
[Thor] How you doing, man?
I'm going to be coming to Iceland
to get you soon.
Let's fucking do it, man.
I'm very excited for the fight.
Looking forward to it.
If this is happening.
I'll train fucking hard.
Hundred percent.
We're going to come over and I'm gonna
pick a fight with an Icelandic giant.
All right, let's fucking do it.
All the best, train hard!
What Thor doesn't know is that
I'm surprising him in Iceland next week.
Let's see how he handles that.
Do you think it'll be a good fight
between me and Thor?
-[barber] Is he tall as you though?
-Taller than me and heavier than me.
Wow.
I'm excited to get out there. Can't wait!
Ahhh!
[barber] Calm down.
-[Tyson] You getting ready?
-Yeah.
Because this is going to be
a pointless journey
and I can't be bothered.
Why are you so enthusiastic?
[man] How do you feel about Scotland?
Not interested in going to be fair.
Can't be bothered.
Got a lot of stuff on, it'll be very busy.
You can't give Tyson time.
He's had too much time
to consider the situation.
Yesterday, Pompeii would've been booked
in a split second, I know,
before I even was
involved in the situation.
So now it's delayed too long,
he's had too much time to think,
so he's got all anxious and funny
about the situation.
And now he's messing it up.
I've got a dog that needs looking after
24 hours a day.
I'm going to miss four sessions,
gym sessions.
I've got business on, I've got
that much coming out me ear holes.
[Paris] If you didn't wanna go,
why didn't you say so?
I don't wanna go, I can't be bothered.
I never wanna go anywhere.
-Can't be arsed.
-With a six-hour drive.
I won't pack.
I'll wear these clothes for three days
to train in, eat, sleep, drink in.
Don't be an ass, Tyson.
-I'm not.
-You are being an ass.
Can't believe we're talking about,
arguing about it,
whatever you wanna call it,
not interested.
-Yeah, but you needed to get packed.
-[Tyson mumbling]
Tyson prioritizes things in a weird way
because as long as he keeps himself sane
by doing his training,
then he prioritizes his training
and I get it,
but he does not need to train every day,
religiously, twice a day, like a lunatic.
He needs to sort of,
like, realize that he is retired.
And he can take a day off
and it would be nice for him to do so,
but he hasn't grasped that yet.
Once he gets triggered into a bad mood,
he can't seem to come out of it
the same as a normal person,
so he can make stress
seem so stressful,
and really there's nothing going on.
-What was you being all moody for?
-I just don't wanna go.
I could get more rest in me bedroom.
[Paris] You can be negative
about everything, though.
Forget about all the anxiety
and the issues, like all the
Just enjoy it now.
-Enjoy what?
-A break.
A break.
[Paris] I don't wanna deal with this,
I don't want to.
[Tyson] Don't wanna what?
I feel like you're insulting me.
To be honest, I don't wanna deal with it.
How is it insulting you? Tell me.
That you don't want
a weekend away with me.
-I don't.
-There you go then. Good.
How is that insulting?
Well, that is insulting, isn't it?
-That's insulting. It is.
-No.
"I don't like or wanna be with you."
I never said that.
-That's what this feels like.
-I just said I don't wanna go anywhere.
I'd rather go to the gym.
With situations like this,
he can get in such a bad mood,
but then just as easily
spin around into a good mood.
If he's in a dark mode, just walk away,
let him deal with it himself.
I can't say, "Just snap out of it."
It's not that I don't wanna
go anywhere with you, it's
-I'm a very busy person.
-[radio volume turns down]
I understand you're busy, still your life
isn't like a nine-to-five, is it?
You are retired.
You've got your own space to do
what you wanna do, within reason.
[Tyson] I'm aware
when I'm dipping, for sure.
I'm up and down all the time
and it's uncontrollable.
And I take it out on people around me.
Sometimes I seem very selfish,
but I don't have control of it.
So it's not like you can
pull yourself out anytime you want.
You just gotta go with the flow.
-[Tyson] Here we are.
-Come on.
-Boosh.
-I tell you what, it is some place.
-[Tyson] Yeah.
-Bonnie Scotland.
This is your heritage, isn't it, Scotland?
Yes. Back to my roots, my Scottish roots.
Do you feel like you're at home or
I feel relaxed already.
Nice to come away and not have the kids.
You know, make-up sex
is always better, innit? For sure.
So who knows? Baby number seven
might be put in the oven on this trip.
Well, welcome to Scotland, Paris,
and, um, let's see how much whiskey
you can drink, shall we?
[car honks]
We're having a little couple of days
away from the kids and all that.
And I'm up this morning at 7:10,
going out running.
Why? Why is that?
Why do I wanna go running
while I'm supposed to be relaxing?
I trained last night,
went to the gym, done 40 minutes' weights
and 40 minutes' cardio
on the cross trainer,
then went for dinner.
That's what I do.
Train, eat, sleep, repeat.
-[man] Morning.
-Morning.
-Scotland's pretty, isn't it?
-Bonnie Scotland.
[Paris] Tyson is very romantic.
Seventeen, 18 years we've been together.
He likes to think of nice things
and do romantic stuff,
and he'd surprise me all the time.
I don't know how people think it's a big
scene to clean some dog shit up.
I hate it. You know, when I'm walking
or jogging down the road, right?
And you see dog shit everywhere.
-You feel like punching someone
-This story is so romantic.
[Tyson] This country
we pay our taxes, right?
We pay everything
and all we've got to do as people
is fucking just follow
a little bit of etiquette.
Your dog shits on the floor, pick it up.
Can we not talk about dog shit?
No, I think dog shit's
a good conversation actually.
Well, it's a good job
I don't walk a dog then,
because I couldn't pick up a bag of shit
and put it in my pocket if you paid me to.
[laughs]
-Why couldn't you?
-'Cause I can't get me head around that.
[laughing] They'll pick it up
and put in their pocket.
Like that, and walk around.
I know my mood swings
can drive Paris 'round the bend.
This is beautiful, innit?
-Really nice.
-Look at this.
[Paris] Beautiful Scottish countryside.
She gets the blunt end of it all.
So I like to try and spoil her
from time to time to make up for it.
-[Paris] Are we going on one of the boats?
-[Tyson] Yeah.
Ah, you've planned a picnic!
Oh, this is nice.
Watch the boat flip over
with 30 stone in it.
-No, put your feet at either side.
-I'm doing the splits!
What are you doing? Just step in.
-I can't, it's gonna tip over.
-It's not.
-Ah!
-[Paris laughs] Don't!
[Tyson whooping]
[Paris] Don't wobble the boat.
I do think Tyson at times comes off
as, like, alpha male, manly.
I'm not into this. But yet he has a really
soft side that people don't see.
-You've got it.
-Heave!
I feel like a Spartan.
He thinks of these little,
romantic gestures, just on his own.
-Move over.
-You're going to tip the boat.
I won't tip the boat.
Move your arse to the side.
-There you go. Go on. No.
-[laughing] Yeah.
-Why are you scared? Move over.
-I don't wanna go in the water.
You won't. Move over.
You're heavier than me.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, so you move over more.
The last time we went out
was when I was in Spain,
two years ago, was it?
About two years ago was
the last time we actually had
-We had a three-day break.
-It was just for a break.
[Paris]
This is quite nice in here, though.
I quite like it. I think I deserve it.
And here's me, still the same old G,
drinking a cheap non-alcoholic beer.
There you go, one for you.
Right, here's to us.
-And another 25 kids.
-Thirty.
-That's
-Do you like that?
I love it. It's absolutely delightful.
Tastes like dragon's piss.
Life in the fast lane, eh, Paris?
Compared to life on the lake.
[Paris] This is like the slow lane.
It's nice and steady.
It's so lovely spending time
with Tyson like this.
Our first date was
It was in the pictures
and we went to see King Kong.
All I kept thinking is,
"When's he going to kiss me?"
"Is he gonna kiss me?
I've never kissed anyone before."
And, like,
the movie went on for three hours.
When King Kong climbed
the Empire State Building,
that's when Tyson decided to lean in
and give me a kiss.
It was the most awkward and embarrassing
moment of my life to date.
He says, "Are you gonna go out
with me and be me girlfriend?"
I thought, "Yeah,"
so I said, "Yes, I will."
You need to slow down right now.
Knock the engine off.
You're gonna hit the man's boat. Stop.
[shouts] Stop!
You're gonna hit the side. Stop!
-There you go. We're crashing now.
-[Tyson] Let it go.
Paris, you're the all-seeing,
all-knowing person, ain't you?
I'm just an idiot.
You jumped out the boat.
You've left the picnic.
Adiós, amigos.
-Come here, Tys.
-No, you're all right.
Hold the boat or I'll fall in.
I'm sure you'll manage
with your all-knowing knowledge.
But I don't know
how to get from there to there.
Pull the boat in! Oh!
Gypsy King is back on it this morning.
Six days this week, twice a day.
Thor, I'm going to come to Iceland
and set about you, you big dosser.
-[Tyson] Hello, Gypsy boy.
-That's my boy, lad.
Oh!
-You're living the dream.
-Oh, it's good day.
-Got your wagon out?
-Yeah.
Put her to use. Get that kettle going.
Look at this. This is TV, innit.
Me running 'round
in a fucking 500 quid car.
Prefer it over the million quid's worth
of Ferraris and Lambos.
Me dad's here in a wagon
in a field with a dog.
It's always good
to spend some time with me dad.
The fire, the dog, the green fields,
reminds me of good times
and it reminds me of who I am.
Keeps me rooted, grounded.
-Come on, Tyson.
-I can't be fucked.
-Get in with it, man. Do your job
-I'm too tired.
Don't train as much then.
You're not fighting, are you?
-I am.
-No, you're not messing with
You don't need to train,
I could beat Thor.
I'm a dead ham with two legs.
No, I'm training
for me own mental well-being.
Come on, this is mental well-being.
This here, look, perfect.
This'll sort your mental health out.
Tyson's one of them.
He's going to cram as much
into his life as he can.
And he sets up these little goals.
I think just the thought
of him being in the ring
with somebody of Thor's stature,
and that size, and it's different
to what he usually does.
Do you want the tea bag left in or out?
-Uh Out.
-Green tea.
-Green tea?
-Yeah.
-I want normal tea.
-Nah, it's best for you.
Here, try that.
Green tea's not bad.
It's good for you, green tea.
I can't drink the other, black,
without milk.
Ooh, that's tasty.
[John] This Thor trip, then,
when's this happening?
I'll have to crack over there,
go over and pick a fight.
He's a big man, it's entertainment, innit?
Two big men.
-What is he, seven foot and 25 stone?
-Yeah.
[laughs]
He's a big fella.
-Still off the coffee?
-Yep.
No coffee. No Diet Cokes. No Zero Cokes.
No beer.
Why do you keep
punishing yourself like that?
Because without them impossible goals,
I can't function.
I've always had an impossible goal
to reach, haven't I?
And now I'm retired,
I don't have an impossible goal to reach,
as in a fight or whatever,
but I can set meself challenges.
[John] He does it to prove himself
that his mind is stronger than anything.
He likes to say to himself,
"Okay, then, if I can stop that coffee,
what I love, I can do anything."
But I think to meself,
"If you can do
all these magnificent things
and see 'em through,
transfer that to the mental health,
and you've won."
Right. I'll go and get some food
and then get home.
[Tyson] Paris, I need to speak to you.
You sit over there, babe,
we'll have an official meeting.
I am going with me dad and Spencer
to Iceland to call out big Thor
-for a fight I'm
-Why?
Just an exhibition,
like a big show, me and Thor.
We've been calling each other out.
-Going over there
-What is an expedition?
An exhibition is when two giants
or two people who get it on
from different worlds,
like a weightlifter and a boxer,
an MMA man and a karate man,
whatever, and they combine,
the universes collide
and two big stars get it on together.
-I thought you retired.
-I am retired.
Right. Right.
-When are you going?
-Tomorrow morning.
-You're gonna be gone for your birthday.
-I know.
Well, that's not fair, is it?
One minute, Pompeii,
the next minute, Scotland,
the next minute, now,
he's running to Iceland.
He's just impossible to keep track of.
-Have you even spoken to him?
-Nope, going to rock up on him.
You're just gonna
land up and pick a fight?
Just going to rock up
and pick a fight, as I do.
I'm just going to wing it, as usual.
[engines whining]
[Tyson] Thank you, all the best.
Right, where is he? Where is he?!
I'm looking for him already.
Has anybody seen a 6'9" Viking
wearing a pink tutu?
Goes by the name of Thor
and he's about to have a broken jaw.
-That even rhymes.
-[John] Where you gonna want this?
-We've come for Thor.
-I'm gonna break Thor's jaw in a minute.
That's going to be a bit of fun, innit?
[Tyson] You know where
we are, guys? Iceland.
And you know what we're doing here?
We're looking for Thor.
Come out and fight like a man.
Spence, can you bell him?
Tell him to put the kettle on.
[line ringing]
Billy, tell him where he is.
Where's the big man?
[Billy] He's in Rome, filming some advert.
Oh, he's in Rome. Fuck him then.
Thor is not here. He's in Rome.
So, not very good
after a three-hour plane journey.
Yeah, this is what happens
when you do things spontaneous.
Fucking hell.
I come to Iceland for a fight
and he goes to Rome.
So, it is what it is.
I never asked any questions, I thought
we're not going there for nothing.
I thought it's all been spoke about,
it's all been done,
and we'd just roll up
and do what we do. [chuckles]
[Spencer] What do you reckon, Tys?
I think we just enjoy ourselves here now.
I think, deep down inside,
Tyson was disappointed.
Someone like Tyson, if they go to
do something and it don't get done,
even if it's not your fault,
it bothers him.
What a complete and utter fuck up.
Prince and Tyson, stay near mum,
there's too many people, you'll get lost.
When Tyson's away
and I've got the six kids by myself,
I like to plan a trip to keep 'em busy
because nobody wants six crazy,
hectic Fury kids bored on top of them.
Right. Put the baby bag down
and don't knock into it.
There's a blanket.
Coming here today is just easy,
because by meself with the kids,
people appreciate that and respect it.
If Tyson's here with the kids,
it doesn't work the same.
People don't respect it
and it becomes the Tyson show.
So, um, it is nice to do
these sort of things with the kids
'cause I don't want them
to miss out on a childhood
just because their dad's famous.
Oh! Oh!
Athena! She'll ruin
the little boy's sandcastle.
That's not our sandcastles.
Don't punt them in.
-[Spencer] Aha, that's kind of good.
-No.
-Yeah?
-Can we take this one?
[Spencer] In fact, we'll have three.
The big man's not here,
but we're in a new country,
so we'll try and make the most of it.
Considering Thor's not here,
I'm the new Viking around these ends. Me.
[John] Mine's a bad fit.
Is that pub open over there?
That Irish pub?
Right, I think we need
a big Icelandic burger.
-[Tyson] Hello, guys.
-[man] Hello.
[Tyson] Starving. All this fighting talk
makes a man hungry.
If he was here today,
would we have had a punch on?
I reckon so, do you?
I don't know it's his character.
You know some people
just don't like the face-to-face, do they?
It's intimidating.
He can't cope with your personality,
how you are.
-Because you do get irate.
-Yeah.
You do get a bit irate,
don't know how to take it,
and could spring a right hand on the chin,
they don't know, do they?
And you don't know, yourself.
-[cell phone ringing]
-Ooh, wonder what he's doing.
-[Paris] Hello.
-How's it going?
Shattered. I've been to the beach today.
I've just got back,
we had sand everywhere.
That's why I hate the beach.
Um, we've come over here,
to call out Thor.
Thor's not even here. He's in Rome.
You're sensible.
You did some good timing then.
His asshole's fell out.
-He got scared?
-Aye.
And now we're gonna go
for a Viking dinner.
Icelandic fun.
So what are you doing tomorrow then?
-Trying to get back home.
-You haven't got a return flight?
We've got a return flight
Saturday morning,
but we want out of here tomorrow.
You've had enough of Iceland already?
To be honest, if you was here
having a few drinks,
you wouldn't want
any better place, would you?
Considering I'm not drinking,
it's quite pointless.
Well, I am going to get ready now
and then I'm going to go out tonight.
All right.
-Go on then, enjoy yourself.
-See you in a bit.
Well, there you go.
Tyson says he's coming back tomorrow.
He wasn't meant to come back for two days.
Damn it, I haven't got nothing booked
for his birthday tomorrow.
He was meant
to have it there with his dad.
And now he's telling me he's coming home
So bit of a shocker, to be honest.
-[John] This is to Tyson.
-Cheers, guys.
-[Tyson] Skál!
-[John] Skál!
May you reign forever and a day.
I'm in a country that's famous
for its strong men and beer drinking.
And I've got neither to look forward to.
Great.
-To good friends.
-Good friends.
You've got to make them touch
or it's bad luck.
-And eye contact.
-Eyes.
-[laughs]
-Eyes.
Tyson's gone away,
so I might as well get out
because I'll be at home by meself.
Where's he gone?
He's gone over to Iceland.
The man's not even there.
-So he can't build up publicity
-So he's just freezing for nothing.
Yeah, he's just stuck in Iceland, yeah.
It was a pointless journey, but
It's looking unlikely
for the exhibition with Thor now.
So now we've got the shows.
So now we're on tours.
Then November we're back out
doing more shows.
And I think by then,
we'll have some clarity
to what exactly you're going to be doing.
[John] When Tyson's in a low mood,
I can tell by the look in his eyes
and I do know when he needs help.
There's no harm in pointing
someone in the right direction, is there?
So I feel, if I put a smile on him,
make light of it, he'll come out of it.
Look, we're doing this Netflix thing,
aren't we? This filming.
And it's nice here.
You're seeing different parts of world,
meeting different people,
inspiring people to go forward yourself.
It doesn't get any better than that.
It is what it is.
But we're not here
to put a morbid twist on shit are we?
-No.
-We're here to enjoy our Icelandic voyage.
[John] You could have
everything going for you,
when mental health kicks in,
nothing's going right for you,
no matter what you've got and ain't got.
And that's horrible.
He shouldn't be boxing again anyways.
He's only doing it 'cause he's bored,
he's got nothing to fulfill him.
So he's just started straight away.
Went from full retirement to saying,
"I'm back to boxing."
And if he doesn't get this fight,
he'll start looking again.
I don't know what's worse,
Tyson coming out of retirement,
risking his physical health,
or staying retired
and risking his mental health.
We've been at the bottom
before when Tyson retired
and it's not a good place for him.
Tyson was going through
totally the darkest point of his life.
He just got massively overweight.
The only thing
that he seemed to be interested in
was laying in bed most days
or drinking through the night.
I looked at him and I said,
"What are you doing? We've got kids,
you're wrecking your life."
And I really, at that point,
felt that I wanted to leave.
But I thought if I leave him,
Tyson would go through
with what he kept saying he wanted to do,
which was kill himself.
If Tyson did box again,
do you think it's a good idea
or that he shouldn't bother?
-Mentally, probably yeah.
-Yeah.
I think he always needs
a goal in sight, Tyson.
-Yeah.
-But,
he's achieved everything
he's going to achieve,
so what's he going to gain from it?
That's it. Well, you've known him
since you was about 14.
So you know what he's like.
[Spencer] Well done, lads, skál!
I'm going to give you a skál here.
-[John] Skál here. God bless youse all.
-[all together] Ay!
-To Iceland.
-To Iceland.
When I'm feeling down
Like, you don't care about anybody else.
It's a very selfish thing.
You don't think
about your family, your job.
You don't think
about anybody but yourself.
Ahhh! Gee up there, my boy.
Yeah!
When I see Tyson drinking, I'm observing
'cause I know what it can lead to.
And I'm thinking,
"Well, last time he did this,
it didn't end well."
Hey!
Fuck off.
Because it's caused so much problem
in the past, has alcohol.
-Watch yourself.
-What?
I can't. Come on, let's go. Let's go.
Last time Tyson retired,
he wasn't in a good place.
Get up there. Bang, bang, bang, bang.
On the fear of him going back there,
I couldn't handle.
The strength's gone,
I couldn't deal with him.
Yeah.
I'd rather be dead
than go down that road again.
End of.
[laughs]
