We need at least 10 more parts of Cus D’Amato story’s.

Tyson has a great book called "Iron Ambition My life with Cus D'Amato" He has a lot of stories also. It would be good if Tyson & Teddy could get together one day and reminisce.

I ALWAYS enjoy the cus/atlas stories.

I've never been a particularly huge boxing fan, but for whatever reason for the last couple years I've been catching up on the last 30 years. Mike Tyson was the first Superstar athlete of my generation ( I'm eight days older than he is ), and I loved watching him fight and I admire him still. I can listen to Teddy all day long and I hope he appreciates how much all the boxing fans out here treasure him.

The Cus D'Amato episodes are one of the best episodes ever!!! Thank you very much Teddy.

The great n wise CUS D'AMATO is LEGEND!👊👑

When Teddy starts talking about the details of crafting the peekaboo style, and training fighters to not only be effective and efficient, but be exciting so the fighter could be marketable and make money, there is nothing better than that. I'd love to hear Teddy watch and reflect on some of his great moments in calling fights, like his reaction after the Emanuel Augustus Vs Courtney Burton Decision.

Been looking forward to this.. Thanks guys. 😁👌

Amazing as always. Love hearing teddy talk about his life. Such a great story teller. Thank you guys

Totally enjoyed this,always enjoy these. Teddy tells the best stories, as exceptional as Teddy is, it's especially a treat to hear the stories of his mentor. My hands down favorite story was the speeding story.

Best one so far, great stories. Sounded like a great place to be as a fighter - up in Cus' house during that time period. I love hearing stories about him. Absolute legend.

Thank you for sharing all these stories it's really beautiful to hear the history from your own mouth.

I REALLY Enjoyed these stories! Please do more like this!

Man every time I see a new video is coming, my eyes Sparks......and have the pleasure to hear Teddy Atlas telling his stories, telling us a little about Cus...I almost could see it all.. I do find inspiration in those stores and Cus philosophy. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.

Thank you so much. I could listen to these story's all day. Much love from Liverpool .

I had been wondering about part 2.this is great!!

Thank you for all these stories. This helps me when I am down or in a bad mood.

Your love for Cus could never be mistaken Teddy. Thank you for doing this, I haven't been moved by stories in a long while. 🙏

Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Thank you for this great interview and insights. Could listen to Teddy 24/7 when he tells storyies! ❤️

Excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's always fun and educational hearing Teddy tell these stories. It reminds me of sitting with my grandpa and his friends telling stories of back in the day.

Just an Absolutely Fantasist interview, I wish the was a part 3 and 4 .... thank you...

What can I say... These two episodes are absolutely brilliant. Thank you Teddy for sharing stories about Cus, also that impersonation of Cus is also outstanding 👏

Very enjoyable... inspirational....I always feel enriched for listening 👍👍👍

Great programme listening about the Cus stories

I loved this talk. I absolutely loved it. Thank you. And my hats off to the great late Cus D Amato and let's not forget Camille as well. Thanks again

Great stuff, gentlemen!

Such a great interview, comes across so natural & effortless just like two dear old buddies on the porch shooting the Breeze and what stories!

Really enjoyed the stories

The stories you have sir are some of best of heard.

This is awesome...! Thanks

Thank you Atlas!! Great moments!

LOVED THIS.

I loved these stories!!!! More please... :)

love the channel!!!

Great , great, great !! Awesome interview !!

Love this thanks guys all about learning great stories but great truth too.

Love hearing these stories.

This is priceless history thanks teddy for the stories!

More Cus stories please! Loved this. Ask Teddy what he would say to Cus if he could talk to him again.

Definitely enjoyed this, one of the best yet. Really laughed out loud at the hot dog craving story. Teddy has a great way of telling a story. Ken lays back and just adds enough to make it a conversation. Much appreciation for both you guys, and the kid Rob. Priceless entertainment.

So much knowledge Cus had on boxing and psychological issues of the fighters mind..Legend!

great video thank you

I can listen to Teddy all day, these shows are gold.

Wonderful Stuff!!! Gives the average boxing fan a real insight into how things really were. Thanks Teddy

2 words: bloody awesome! Thank you so much Teddy! :)

Any chance of a PART 3 GUYS? Amazing show guys 👏

Brilliant stories, it's awesome when Teddy makes a voice like Cus d'Mato. We need more stories, keep them coming :-)

The sweet science of boxing mixed into a great discussion. Great video!

Thank you guys. So interesting! Please go on Teddy...

Love these story's

I’ve read teddy’s book quite a few times over the years it’s one of my favourites. and this is my favourite podcast, I think teddy should write a book about his 8 years with cus, I’m sure it would be great, thanks for this -Tony

1st off the beard looks good ken! 2nd I can't speak for everybody but I can definitely speak for myself, I love listening to Teddy tell stories, that man knows how to tell story ans hearing about the great cus is always a treat! Keep them coming please! Especially would love to hear more about cus lol and the peek-a-boo style!

Thank you, Teddy Atlas, for sharing your deep knowledge. I am taking it all in, soaking it up. You are a tremendous, fine student of Cus D'Amato, and a genius trainer in your own right. It's like you are training the listeners in the fighter's way of life, and in its rich, practically mystical, intellectual history. The wisdom and joy are palpable in these podcasts. Thank you.

Part 3 please. One of the best contents, on the best fighting podcast.

Great shows keep up the great work ! Teddy Atlas!! 👨🏼‍🦲

I enjoyed it. Thanks from Texas.

Great talking could listen Teddy stories about Cus and Tyson for days(and I never write the comments)

Really any of teddies stories would be good he is such a good story teller! You can tell Teddy is super humble, a boxing genius, n just a really great human being! The world is blessed to have you! I cant wait, i wish a new episode dropped everyday!

Keep em coming teddy

Thank you, guys! Love the Cus stories and could listen to them all day. Can you do some more of these please fellas? I would love to hear about Cus's thoughts on Muhammad Ali and the advice that he gave Ali, on the phone, before the fight with George Foreman. Cheers from Australia.

Amazing n fascinating insight thanks for sharing

Hi Teddy and Ken.. Love this podcast so so much.. I love the way teddy's face lights up when speaking about us brits.. He is dearly loved here..especially in South Wales.. As a suggestion for a podcast.. Maybe some stories from the UK and Ireland.. It would be interesting from an historical context too. And teddy would have been here through some testing times. 70s 80s..and met some real characters.. Keep up the good work guys. X

This was Gold

That was wonderful. I’d listen to those stories for that month easy

"If the head's not there leave the ring"

Teddy atlas’s insight and knowledge goes far beyond boxing . The new types of fighting.. MMA and such and it’s trainers and the whole of it will never replace the old school of boxing and all that it represented.

this is GREAT!

Cus D'amato is America's very own martial arts master.

Best one by far 👍🏻

This better be part 2 of 12,could listen to teddy's tell these stories all night!

Really enjoyed Teddy Atlas’s anecdotes - amazing legacy .

Did i enjoy it? Like ive said before, i wish my dad were still alive! This is something we would do together! I remember him saying, were watching boxing i was a kid, thats teddy atlas, great trainer! He passed his love of boxing to me! Ya im in quarintin, got up this am let my dog out, my best friend, 4 legged fur missile, got coffee n spent the first part of my day in awe! I love listening to teddy's stories! Haha "look at that power" Cus shouts! Haha i was laughing so hard multiple times this am i had to run it back cause i was missing parts! I hope you have that contest, ill think hard about a question, ive always wanted to drive a Lambo! Ha that was great episode! Stories about Cus are awesome! N Teddy u are a LEDGEND! THANKS FOR A GREAT START TO MY DAY!

Thank you , gold!

This is gold.

Love it.

Probably the best episode you guys had so far Teddy, you see you don't have to talk only about boxing and stats to make it fun ;)

Cheers from Casablanca...we would like to hear about the science of the system or style Cus taught Tyson...

They are all fantastic but this 2 parter has been something really special. For us Boxing fans knowledge like this is like a Christmas present or something.

You was proud to have the opportunity to share such intimate times with someone you admired and respectef

Great stories Teddy.

Subscribed! Not sure how I came to watch part II first, but I am glad I did. Part II has given me a great intro and insight to possibly the greatest part of that legend, the highly highly impressive (proper man) Sir Teddy Atlas. What an absolute pleasure to listen to a smart, honourable, LOYAL (yes, its a huge word), witty, articulate, ultimate brother and father of any man, who on top of all that has the keenest eye for how to look after your own and recognise how to take down the foundations of your foe. I always knew mike Tyson had a truly ugly side but my stronger belief is that the people who have fully enriched the public arena should be be hugely rewarded and loved (wasnt it better in the 80s, when you didn’t know anything about their private life?) As far as I'm concerned, I dont care which bookworm with no fighting bone in his body thinks who is the greatest. Tyson at his prime, is the only UNSTOPPABLE FIGHTER the world has ever seen, that trumps the who's the greatest argument. That legacy would not have stood a chance without Cus and Teddy - FACT. The podcast is beautifully anchored by Ken who knows when to cut in at the right times and move on to the next anecdote. Ken clearly has traditional respect, patience, humility, and refreshingly (take note whippersnapper) he responds and adds to Teddy's tales and jokes, he feeds the storyteller. This all helps the teacher to flow and keep on track with so many emotional memories flooding back into his mind good, bad, high. low, but Sir Atlas always maintains his old school code of honour, class, character, with a healthy bit of street story telling thrown in. Thanks also to the chap who introduced the show and is part of this quality production. What a panacea to the weak limp lefty c0mmun1sssst crap we are all weakly putting up with in the so called modern nerd society of forced not earned not given inclusion. Strange how so many men who fight are the good people in this world, or is it a necessary part of real life where people need each other and there are responsibilities and consequences?

I could listen to this all day.

Watched part one and part two and all I can say is what great stories and Teddy had me captivated the whole time. He is such a great story teller. I can see how revered Cus is to Teddy to this day. My question for Teddy with all the life lessons, boxing knowledge, and the mental aspect to the sport. With all that, which athlete outside of boxing could you train to have them excel in their own sport whether it be baseball, football, basketball, etc

Thank you

I love cus stories the book iron ambition is amazing and goes into alot of detail and completely changed my view on Tyson, cus literally molded him. Love this though teddy
