I remember mike voice when he was in his prime ,knocking people out. he got the voice of my 7year old son I'm just being funny but I'm mike fan for life....now his voice got deeper .
Like many people Mike doesn't like it when people try and bully him and some people use their position of authority to try and bully others and thats probably what set him off.

Mike is right about authority. There's a huge difference in someone who knows how and when to be in charge and someone who just acts like he's in charge. Pro's perform a task competently while amateurs play kid games. I learned this working as a landlord in a sketchy building.
Yes he is , i caught a case for assault on a a police officer , for that exact same reason they way i was treated was disrespectful and vile. And it was not because i wanted to it was the lack of respect and abuse of authoritative power.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest fighters, he brought excitement back to boxing and really captured that era. I saw his show live Undisputed truth a while back, the guy is honest and its really good to see him rise out of the bad situations he found himself in. He didnt have a problem giving me and a couple other fans autographs and taking a picture when we saw him a day after the show. Cool guy, he deserves the success he has. I wish him and his family many blessings.
Mike is being very humble. I did 5 years transferred to numerous prisons and can honestly say 99% of guards go out of their way to antagonize inmates for multiple reasons.
Honestly after speaking with lots of CO'S when I was inside they all kind of said a similar thing. They honestly think it is their job to punish us! They don't realize they are just there for our safety just like the police are supposed to be here for safety. They don't understand that our punishment was simply to be away from society for a period of time. Correctional officers and police seem to have the same mindset and those lines of work seem to attract the same type of person. Not all of them are like that but I would say 90% + like always the problem comes from the top down. It's what they are taught and they are more than happy to follow through with orders
Really admire Shannon for being able to go into this topic with Mike, and boy I did not see that curveballs coming that his problem was with the guards and not the inmates!

Mike Tyson is very honest and very intelligent. If you aren't familiar with his life story, he had to overcome a lot to become the man and fighter that he became. He is an incredible person and probably the finest heavyweight ever produced in the U.S.
Hey Unk I think you did very well with this Interview with your line of questioning. Mike has changed for the better, he's much more mellow now. Had this interview been in mid 90's , he would've got rattled n lashed out. Salute tho Unk, good upload.
I retired from a max state prison after a 23 year career. The last five years of my career I spent a lot of time being a training Sgt. I taught my trainees to be respectful and to be firm but fair. My job was not to punish inmates but to make sure they followed the rules and that was it. There punishment was the time they was having to live in a prison. If an inmate treated me with respect they would always get it back. Two way street. I was an effective leader and was respected by most of the inmates. The trouble makers didn’t like me but oh well I had a job to do. Was no need to talk down to people
You were a Professional, how many guards were disrespectful to inmates. So many situations happen because of a slick mouth guard talking down to inmates. 29 yr. prison career here.
@@stillamarine1001 Yea, we all had those "This Job Sucks" moments but at least I was able to spend a shift doing what I wanted until a call came in. You were trapped with the animals and did time with them! Enjoy retirement.
From what I understand, most inmates won't pick on somebody that they know will fight back. It's the weak that get bullied and preyed upon. Nobody in their right mind would have gone at a known trained fighter. That's stupid.
I loved Mr. Tyson as a fighter, never met or knew him as a human being. With that said, the ability to see yourself, and express yourself this honestly is the key to life. Starting from zero leaves so much about the world to learn. It leaves many of us while tough and fighting on the outside, no more than a scared kid inside. That scared kid does and thinks a lot of crazy stuff that defies any real logic. Mr. Tyson just seems to have come so full circle, I hope to be able to do so as well as he has. Very few people that I love the soul of having never met, Mr. Tyson is one of those souls.
As great as a boxer Mr Tyson is. I honestly believe he's a better entertainer. Mike will tell it, like it is. The guy is incredibly smart, given where he came from. I'm glad he's doing well.
@@lbcoach2295 what are you one of those cos? I always marvel at the utter stupidity and power trip some cos have that at the end of the day. Just make their own lives tougher. Lol brilliant people
The most empowered human is the one who can announce their strengths, weaknesses, courage, cowardice, and failures. Accomplishments will always be recognized and lauded. Mike's beauty is in his ability the accept, acknowledge, and communicate an understanding of all of the above. Most importantly is his ability to continue to move forward with determination that past is only prolonged, if you are stagnant.
Shannon showing his lack of experience and perspective saying something as stupid as “people are allowed to have a bad day” in response to abusive behavior from prison guards which is as common as night and day.
Key word is trying... Great interviewers ask thought provoking questions and then allow the guest to answer in their own rhythm and place .. no need to push & pry...
Mike must respect this gentleman to grant such an interview. I have seen him curse and storm out of other interviews if the interviewers were too nosy.
I can tell that all these questions was irritating Mike. Mike doesn’t want to be interrogated, he just wants to have a simple conversation. This is why Joe Rogan is a much better podcaster than Shannon Sharpe
It was Muhammad Ali who was to have said: "If a Man looks at the world the same way at 50 as he did at 20, he's wasted 30 years of his life." I would say Tyson has changed a heck of a lot from his younger days.
I love the question. He mixed it up and tried to get to what he thought was the changed in Mike’s career. Just so happens it was jail. Shouts to shay shay
I agree 100% with Mike Tyson here. Troublemaker or no troublemaker. The guard should be "the authoritative figure" at all cost, bad day or worse day. A man serving his time should be respected no matter what.
Mike Tyson said he was molested as a child. He was being interviewed and he expressed it on a RUclips video a few years ago or longer. I didn't know that. There is no telling what that man went through.
I always enjoy Tyson interviews. He's clearly a very smart person, and like all of us, we all make bad decisions/choices sometimes, and sometimes a lot. His situation with D.W. was some b.s. and sometimes life has a way of giving us a raw deal.. in a round about way of how we did wrong in the past.. I wish Mike a very good future. We are older and wiser.. and I hope and pray he has more discipline for himself to make the best choices. Some of us have done a lot of bad things in the past being exposed to the wrong influences.. and hopefully in our older age we get back to being the innocent people we once were before.
Yes people are allowed to have a bad day but you are not allowed to take your bad day out on someone else because that person you don't know may have a even worse day than you and that'll be your mistake
What if cus lived 10 more years, what if Tyson never met "the Snake" Don King, what if he actually had a good loving relationship with Robin. Tyson is by far the most famous and even at his age people would still pay to see him box. He has influenced the average person and even pro boxers in his prime. He was chosen BY THE PEOPLE as "The baddest man on the planet" "The people's champ".
I worked at Plainfield correctional Facility (PCF) shortly after Tyson left. While he was in they changed the name of the prison from Indiana Youth Center to PCF. There were too many media questions as to why Tyson would be sent to a Youth Center. There were several first hand accounts that I heard of Mike receiving special treatment while he was held there. He was given his own prison cell alone in a two person cell. He was given an expanded visitor's list of people who could visit him and allowed to go to visitation more frequently than the other inmates. He received loosely supervised visits from females (believed to be conjugal visits) not allowed to other inmates. His prison cell was not allowed to be searched by the correctional staff (rumored to have a cell phone inside). Prison staff members in a position to ease his time in were often seen driving in vehicles way above their pay scale. I did not see this first hand because he left months prior to me working there but I did hear it from several different coworkers that all had similar info. I have no axe to grind here. Mike did his time and I wish him luck. Just thought someone may want to know how different prison life is for the rich and famous.
Well there you have it . I’m not surprised. This would make other inmates resentful would nt it? I wonder would other inmates like to try and street fight him ?
The streets are undefeated…Iron Mike Tyson….Now, A better human being than he ever was a champ, and he was the Baddest man on the planet…Well done Sir…❤️
I have to say. I completely understand Mike Tyson. And how he feels. I waisted my life. With addiction and thinking I was a victim. It's only now I'm older I don't let anyone speak to me badly. Or touch me. In a bad way.
You overestimate his abilities. The reality is that a decent high school wrestler would take him down. A D1 collegiate wrestler would maul him. I know you will likely comment back and argue with me, but really stop to think about it before you do. A good wrestler would shoot low on Mike, and if Mike can't land that one perfect knockout shot, he's gonna get picked up and slammed on his head. And I don't care how hard Tyson can punch. No one on this planet can punch harder than getting slammed on the pavement. Don't mess with good wrestlers. They are extremely hard to deal with.
Mike was in jail in his prime. This was way before the UFC days. I know about gnp. (Mark Coleman is the father of GNP and a good wrestler.. then Mark Kerr, Randleman, and other wrestlers he was close to were successful with GNP.) This was the great PrideFC days Those guys in jail when Mike was there probably weren't wrestlers and ufc wasn't even a thing back then. People didnt have the knowledge of how to fight a boxer as dominant as Mike.
Mike illustrated a very important life lesson, watch the words you say to people and how you say them. You might trigger them to make you stop uttering those words, and with violence. Especially true if you are too weak to then decend yourself.
For some reason, it’s hard NOT to like Mike Tyson. He’s crazy, he’s an admitted “trouble maker,” he’d kill you in a fight... yet he’s still likable. 🤷🏼♂️😂
Reporter and others used to try and project Mike as this muscle bound dummy, listening to mike over the years I've found him to be articulate,witty and intelligent! Glad to see he's doing well!🤠👍
I could tell you one thing nobody is gonna mess with the champ because they know he’s gonna knock your head off for a fact no matter how big you are he’s gonna knock you out!💯
Bro, really? Did you ask to a former inmate if he thought that the guard could have a bad day???? As inmate Myke was having bad day every day. What kind of question was that brother? Someone from that background, having bad day on the daily basis and at the moment incarcerated, must have consciousness while a guard offended him???? Are you serious???
No you're not allowed to have a bad day when you hold the key to somebody's life on the JOB. Pilots can't. Cashier's can't. It's a profession and you're working with human beings. The bootlicking in this country is horrible.
What would you do if Mike Tyson tried starting a fight with you?
Run very fast
Run run run
Try to apologize, if that didn’t work he’ll guess it’s time to get knocked out.
Who would try to start a fight with Iron Mike? dumb guard
Fight just to get his respect but I am bobbing and weaving until guards came 😂😂, would not enjoy it at all. Probably he would break my jaw.
I appreciate Mike's patience with this line of questioning.
yea, cause it was truly dumbaf!
Must've took his L-theanine that day
Agreed, he handled it like a champ.
Please explain you’re problem with the questions? Why would we not want to know how prison changed Mike, how life was inside, etc?

This has to be a joke. GOAT of what?? Definitely not boxing.
@@EyeTunz thank you!
Urban legend has it that Mike was a "Maytag Queen" in the Big House!!
I heard he fought Baki and Oliva in prison.
Took 3 men to jump him just to take him down.
Yeah, they couldn't broke him lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike never sugarcoats it when he describes his own bad behavior. He tells it like it is/was, and owns it.
He's definitely still proud and happy for the time that he got away. Those are the stories that you tell your buddies
I love this channel and show, so much better than watching an argument with Shannon and Skip about the same four subjects everyday.
What if cus lived 10 more years, what if Tyson never met "the Snake" Don King, what if he actually had a good loving relationship with Robin. Tyson is by far the most famous and even at his age people would still pay to see him box. He has influenced the average person and even pro boxers in his prime. He was chosen BY THE PEOPLE as "The baddest man on the planet" "The people's champ".
If only when cus died Tyson had gone with teddy atlas who knows what could have been
Oh good lord. If this if that. Why do people make excuses for this overrated chump?? So sad.
Mike Tyson is such an intelligent individual and has also grown become a very humble individual.
So that is what passes for "intelligence" to you? Ha, ha
Shay Shay learn from this too many questions without letting Mike open up he's a very humble man now with great stories if you let him talk
Mike so honest… I got away a lot to 😂😂
Even if the guard wasn't having a bad day, he was about to if Mike felt some type of way 😅
I recall Mike T. being on T.V. telling folks straight up don't try to be as I was. Yup.! G-G 😃
I worked at Plainfield correctional Facility (PCF) shortly after Tyson left. While he was in they changed the name of the prison from Indiana Youth Center to PCF. There were too many media questions as to why Tyson would be sent to a Youth Center. There were several first hand accounts that I heard of Mike receiving special treatment while he was held there.
He was given his own prison cell alone in a two person cell.
He was given an expanded visitor's list of people who could visit him and allowed to go to visitation more frequently than the other inmates.
He received loosely supervised visits from females (believed to be conjugal visits) not allowed to other inmates.
His prison cell was not allowed to be searched by the correctional staff (rumored to have a cell phone inside).
Prison staff members in a position to ease his time in were often seen driving in vehicles way above their pay scale.
I did not see this first hand because he left months prior to me working there but I did hear it from several different coworkers that all had similar info.
I have no axe to grind here. Mike did his time and I wish him luck. Just thought someone may want to know how different prison life is for the rich and famous.
Well there you have it . I’m not surprised. This would make other inmates resentful would nt it?
I wonder would other inmates like to try and street fight him ?
Makes sense rich and famous always get preferential treatment
Top Boy
It'll pss off the screws/c.o's too yea?
Mike Tyson is so polite...so honest and so pure...but man his aura is scary...no wonder he was so feared in boxing...a true great 👑
Im surprised Mike didnt snap. Sometimes in interviews if someone presses him he will get annoyed
Mike like Shannon more likely
Very interesting.
Gotta love Shannon interviewing skills.
He reminds me of my uncles on Sunday drinking beer and "holding court" with each other and the kids (us!).
HE HAS THE WORSE INTERVIEWING SKILLS EVER. NO RESPECT FOR IRON MIKE KNOWING FULL WELL HE WAS WRONGLY CONVICTED
@@reggtop Sorry...but Iron Mike raped more females than he was ever convicted of.
@@reggtop yeh this guy out of his depth interviewing Tyson
The streets are undefeated…Iron Mike Tyson….Now, A better human being than he ever was a champ, and he was the Baddest man on the planet…Well done Sir…❤️
Yeah not the greatest line of questioning. Very irritating, not a good interview.
I have to say. I completely understand Mike Tyson.
And how he feels.
I waisted my life.
With addiction and thinking I was a victim.
It's only now I'm older I don't let anyone speak to me badly.
Or touch me. In a bad way.
Amen to that
My boy had 500 million and ran through it.That alone changes a man.
500 mil is only a lot to those who can afford so little.
Very few ppl could touch 500 million before going to jail
He still have a few millions leftover.
"What would you do if Mike Tyson tried starting a fight with you?"
^^^
Lose.
TERRIBLY*lmaooo*.
Imagine Mike in his prime in jail. Yes Mike, please take my meals and soul.
You overestimate his abilities. The reality is that a decent high school wrestler would take him down. A D1 collegiate wrestler would maul him. I know you will likely comment back and argue with me, but really stop to think about it before you do. A good wrestler would shoot low on Mike, and if Mike can't land that one perfect knockout shot, he's gonna get picked up and slammed on his head. And I don't care how hard Tyson can punch. No one on this planet can punch harder than getting slammed on the pavement. Don't mess with good wrestlers. They are extremely hard to deal with.
Mike was in jail in his prime. This was way before the UFC days. I know about gnp. (Mark Coleman is the father of GNP and a good wrestler.. then Mark Kerr, Randleman, and other wrestlers he was close to were successful with GNP.) This was the great PrideFC days
Those guys in jail when Mike was there probably weren't wrestlers and ufc wasn't even a thing back then. People didnt have the knowledge of how to fight a boxer as dominant as Mike.
He’s the best !! When I was a kid he was a real life superhero.
Does anybody know if Mike Tyson is still doing his podcast hotboxing? Was one of my favorites.
I guess you haven't heard yet... Mike was killed in a car accedent 12 days ago.😩
@@trentcruise3084 He died during his first psychedelic toad venom trip.
Mike is a real in your face man…
Respect is what a man requires most. Women hear this
Have to remember "the youngest heavyweight champion".... this man is at peace within himself to even explain
Mike illustrated a very important life lesson, watch the words you say to people and how you say them. You might trigger them to make you stop uttering those words, and with violence. Especially true if you are too weak to then decend yourself.
For some reason, it’s hard NOT to like Mike Tyson. He’s crazy, he’s an admitted “trouble maker,” he’d kill you in a fight... yet he’s still likable. 🤷🏼♂️😂
He’s pathetic. Only likes or because you pity him.
@@EyeTunz Why you say he's pathetic?
@@EyeTunz Yeah, let's hear why he's so pathetic. In depth analysis please...
I think ur projecting
Reporter and others used to try and project Mike as this muscle bound dummy, listening to mike over the years I've found him to be articulate,witty and intelligent! Glad to see he's doing well!🤠👍
Got to be a record or close to it for the amount of money he blew through on the journey to find himself. Glad to see he finally made peace
I could tell you one thing nobody is gonna mess with the champ because they know he’s gonna knock your head off for a fact no matter how big you are he’s gonna knock you out!💯
Bro, really? Did you ask to a former inmate if he thought that the guard could have a bad day???? As inmate Myke was having bad day every day. What kind of question was that brother? Someone from that background, having bad day on the daily basis and at the moment incarcerated, must have consciousness while a guard offended him???? Are you serious???
@Anthony Galloni yep, u totally right
No you're not allowed to have a bad day when you hold the key to somebody's life on the JOB. Pilots can't. Cashier's can't. It's a profession and you're working with human beings. The bootlicking in this country is horrible.
Shannon basically ask Mike why he didn't let the C/O disrespect him... SMH
