Shannon Briggs | Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson

[@nicholasortiz1116]

This show is such therapy, seriously. I appreciate this level of honesty.

[@joelo3527]

True brother, honesty is a hard thing to find and give nowadays

[@truthsupreme]

I cringe everytime Mike Tyson interrupts. Shannon is saying some good shit and Mike would interrupt by asking him " who are we". I love Mike Tyson and barely know Shannon Briggs but he a good dude. But Mike gotta stop making it harder for me to watch his podcasts. Recently, he posted a video of him and Shaq doing a socially distanced podcast and he kept interrupting every few seconds which I had to pause the video. I think somethings wrong with me but I respect Mike Tyson. Usually he brings some wisdom into the podcasts but I didn't see shit here.

@@zeizaze5159 I agree with your analysis and assessment of Mike! But I cannot agree in regards to Shannon and here's why - When prompted he denies crying on the podcast which he clearly does. He said numerous times he wanted to come on the show and "chill" and I'm sorry but Shannon is not Sugar Ray Leonard! Your description for Shannon is suited for Sugar Ray not Shannon.

In my opinion: Mike Tyson has elite wisdom. It's not the most important thing about how or why he got there. He adequately understands about enlightenment and it reflects in his honesty. He acknowledges all aspects of his nature (good and bad) and finally understands how to manage them. Everyone can benefit from sitting down and having a genuine conversation with modern Mike. He just has the most captivating way of conveying the knowledge he learned from his extraordinary experience. And he cares enough to elevate humanity.

What tension? These guys are reminiscing about stuff 99% of people won't even understand even if they did their best.

[@RaikhardWarGod]

Lu B-A didn’t you see Tyson was so much more serious in this interview then in past ones. Now that he’s training to fight an exhibition match he’s starting to act a little more differently. Like 2 or 3 times in this interview Tyson didn’t like Briggs telling him to chill.... briggs told tyson to stop talking about what he was talking about and Tyson told him with a serious face that he wasn’t going to chill because it’s his show and he can talk about what he wants...... Tyson has never had to be that serious with someone and tell them that straight up like that in this podcast. Briggs had mentioned on Instagram that he would love to fight Tyson so I feel that now that Tyson is training for a match, he feels kind of like Briggs is possible competition. Plus Tyson doesn’t joke much and Briggs does so kind of like a personality clash.

[@RaikhardWarGod]

Lu B-A if you see an interview Briggs just did on you tube a couple days ago, he’s saying he wants to fight Tyson, Holyfield, briggs, David haye, and that he would chop em ALL down. He’s been talking about wanting that fight and working on it. No one takes things as personal as Tyson when it comes to when he’s going to fight someone. He sees them as enemy’s and says he wants to eat their children and all of that lol. After the fight it’s all good but before that he wants to rip there head off. I think that’s why you can see Tyson kind of bothered by Shannon’s behavior and hated being told to chill on his own show. Read the comments hundreds noticed it.

This is so open and from the heart. I was raised in a rough place around very tough people as well and seen murders at a very young age....i know my ego keeps me from acknowledging that my PTSD is real and affecting me .....but seeing men like this affirming how i feel makes me feel like us men.....we all matter too.... and that i can talk about my fears and people care!

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

I completely understand what Shannon is talking about around the 6:30 mark. I’m not from Brownsville, I grew up in the Robert Taylor Homes on Chicago‘s South Side. But poverty and desperation is poverty and desperation. I saw my first murder at 5. Still remember it vividly. When you grow up in an environment like that, it creates a rage in you that never subsides. It just sits there, beneath the surface. When you finally learn how to be a man, you understand that you need to keep yourself in situations, and a state of mind, that never allows that rage to come out. Because when it does, it becomes an all consuming force of nature. It leaves no room for rational thought, restraint, or concern for consequences. It leaves only one desire, to destroy whatever it is focused on, in the most brutal way possible.
