He is instrumental in his podcast show, Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, where he has featured some iconic guests like Eminem, Tyson Fury, Snoop Dogg, and many others. Recently, he welcomed a notable Hollywood figure who discussed her time working with Barack Obama, who was president at the time.

While talking on the ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’ podcast, Rosie Perez revealed, “When he(Barack Obama) became President, I got vetted and asked to join the presidential advisory council on HIV and AIDS. So, I actually worked on his administration, and so that was crazy.”

The actress further added, “It was a lot of work. I was on the prevention committee, thinking of ideas to help with that, and it was a lot of paperwork, a lot of pencil pushing. But we did it, we came up with the national age strategy, our council did. But it was hard. Hard, hard work.”
