Shannon did a great interview with Mike Tyson but Mike was being humble and didn't want to throw the boxing organization under the bus he knows well as we know that boxing is at his weakest right now and Shannon got a point people rather watch a fifty-five-year-old come out of retirement and fight versus watching today's boxes in a trunk that is a problem Mike just did not want to say that

[@candlercando]

Mike Tyson is someone who embraces failures and calls the worst of them the best thing that happened to him. That is the heart of a true champion.

[@ericphillips1338]

FACTS!!!

[@joyceh217]

I was thinking the same thing ❤️❤️❤️😍

[@austinmcgoldrick4436]

Shannon, seriously this was a tremendous interview. You pushed and pushed, and paused, and clarified. Tyson wasn’t always super in depth in his answers, so you continued to ask deeper and deeper questions to get him to open up. Normally interviewers just ask a question and wait 5 minutes for the person to talk, you did a very good job Shannon. Nice work. Love the interview.

[@vincentrandall5893]

I don’t know if people really grasp how well Shannon navigated this interview. Considering who he was talking to and how it started initially. He couldn’t really push Mike and at the same time he didn’t want to agitate him that he would shut down. Masterful job Unc!

[@IKARIking67]

Yeah I was amazed how well Shay walked the tight rope of give and take. This was a masterclass on the ebb and flow of push/pull questioning and active listening.

Flaws (weaknesses), can transform into charm and charisma. Our immature evil side (weakness), can become: a matured evil side (charm and charisma). Mike Tyson has matured a lot in regards to his weak side, which is why he is symbolic for everyone: due to his charm and character. Not many popular individuals are able to mature; mike Tyson is the clear one of the few exception

I see what you mean, but I don’t think Tyson would be that hard to interview. He’s incredibly honest and will say whatever the truth is. The trouble he has sometimes with articulating his thoughts is not really anything that’s difficult to get past if you just really listen to him and release your expectations / suspend personal judgment while you’re talking to him.

[@yenkassa]

[@launchsportscards9894]

This is a very well conducted interview for the simple fact Shannon who’s as accomplished as any athlete in anything ever in reality, not once shined any light on that fact during the interview, which is not easy to do. Usually when you have 2 people who are or have been to the apex in their fields interacting it’s never usually a “I want to get to know this guy and for my listeners to get to know him”. Usually it’s one guy says I did XWY and the other says something like “that reminds me when I…..” Nothing wrong with that since it’s interesting but when a guy like Shannon can go the entire interview without any stories about himself and truly come off sincere in being curious about things he asked Mike and his answers it’s powerful to see. That’s the definition of respect for who your interviewing but almost more importantly a respect for his audience and the line of work he is in as a host. This was the first time I listened to Shannon doing his own podcast. As a podcast fan this was as professional, articulate, thoughtful, and well prepped I’ve ever seen in this arena. You can tell this was not one of those cases where someone books a guest and 30 min before the team hands the host a bullet point list and away we go. Being specific in dates of fights, who, what happened, etc shows Shannon was hands on every step of the prep for this. People have been commenting on how many times Tyson said “Mr Sharpe”. I think a big reason for that is Tyson who is a guy who remarkably remembers every fight he’s had and virtually every important boxing match ever in depth saw Shannon Sharpe didn’t book Mike Tyson for views. He booked him to create good content and have the best podcast. A video with a Tyson interview is going do well no matter what, so it’s easy to just have s fun talk about easy topics and things that are common knowledge regarding Mike. Tyson noticed it right away that Shannon booked him out of real curiosity and interest in asking him things for himself and the fans and prepared for Mike almost as if he wanted to make sure Mike knew he was not being used for views. He was going to do the best he could making the interview good for him, Mike and the fans by challenging Mike at times and knowing when to be quiet, follow up a idea, and when to move on. Look forward to hearing Shannon in other conversations so glad this popped up on my feed.
