Mike Tyson | "I Never Thought Much of Myself" | Tony Gonzalez

I got my brother from another mother here you know all good in the hood yes sir but talk about the love that you had for boxing at the beginning like what did it what did it represent your life at that time were you in love with it at the beginning or was it something hey I got this gift and everybody is telling me how great it is so I'm gonna go do it because that or you really love boxing I'm trying to find the words to express end and right now with um where I was aware of my preeminence mm-hmm I was aware of everything I was doing I was aware that I could become famous in the world listen to me that could be somebody in my ego because you suck all this up my cousin all will all ego to get in that's it when I first met cuz I thought they were living good but he's living well woman companion and this is all the stuff that's us and he convinced us somewhere that we're gonna get a great champion we got to turn this into a trailer training camp but he's a fanatic fight that's all he would live for it fighting it let's change this victory now for Team it changes to a training camp she convinced him to do this and had people sponsor them and then I came along he was born in 2019 awaiting I'm born in 1966 so I'm my life was changed in nineteen oh I'm 1908 isn't that true something about my life has changed in 1908 yeah with my destiny and from being with custom custom what I was trying to explain cause this very delusional you know that's like myself uh-huh what do you mean by that but delusional delusional in the sense that like hey just say something like that like you're gonna be heavyweight champion most people don't have that audacity to say something like that listen is I'm not a delusion about evolution were in a magnificent way yeah delusion though is my way of life huh you know I even think that I always think about war and money and destiny and so in my mind I said listen the God of War cuz they're women I'm most of them are women but the god of fortune the god of Destiny and I mean my mind I'm thinking aquatic art of war and he made love with mm and I'm a descendant after you know my ego told me that I'm a descendant of greatness you know uh-huh and I've nothing to do with my parents and my family are nothing they were just a vessel and I'm very special yeah you know but didn't I'm when I'm around people I always have to describe myself with hey guys how you doing look when I'm alone I think I'm a month I think I'm Alexander the Great I had thousands of people fall with me and I'm raising hell I wait to see but I love to dive into that because I want to know like where does that come from like how do my little self esteem low self esteem meaning what like like uh don't think much of myself but you think that you're destined for this this and you did it came to fruition it happened no this is nothing this and all this is nothing uh-huh this is nothing all this know what you doing for but what we doing now it's nothing your thoughts you think it's nothing mmm it's me no it's just some are evolving of who we are to the next species we just passing it on mm-hmm mm-hmm but I mean when you're the reason I'm asking this now you who you are why are you act the way to you are why are you conscious of what people think about huh why do you feel that way is the way God made me I don't know if it's just since I was little kid I've always been this curious first shamed in your life absolutely yeah absolutely sick this out we're born we live in life and then something happens that makes me the way I am makes you the way you are if something has to happen it doesn't it doesn't go over I carefully ia we live in life and we change them to that person that we are now that doesn't work that way something happens to change us into this person mm-hmm so um I was a little kid in one day and I'm this oh this is gonna be interesting it's about growing I didn't understand these guys they used to bully me all the time they got me involved with flying pigeons but not in a good way so the birthday had we'll eat disgusting bird they weren't in good shape so they land on another roof today you should go chase the bird go I saw I have to go in this building and there's people in the you know how people standing in the front of the building another crew and then I said you doing this building is lonely right in this building I gotta go through all that to fly the bird and then they say go to the store give me this give me that and then they tell me this at the end of the day they say hey we're going to the jam tonight I'm going and I think and I come I'm a stupid ass I know how to tell you so can I come but I didn't ever I never understood about um I didn't know you had to wash and stuff so I go to the party the little dance and I got and I got tar on me from the birds I didn't understand about cleaning the hide yeah I don't know that stuff yet but these guys do and so I get to everybody's laughing you know this bum he asked mr. nasty get the out of here somebody might even kick me or hit me or something I beat me up or something I just don't look like them I'm not fly yeah and so uh the guy some guy that was there but he he doesn't fly pigeons with those got babies just hanging out with them he said you're sure to meet me at the cool when I rule snigger he said get out of there meet me and so I went back to slap him he was dead he said come on come with me and so we went robbing houses that whole day and he didn't give me much money gave me like 120 bucks but what he did do would take me shopping got me fly and um I went back to that place and those people didn't remember who I was hmm respected me they do I was flatted little my clothes so my jury I was only 10 years Omega that jury I got one with you watch long gene watches I'm it's a fly and so I'm I realized that our people were showering that I could let stay is still hanging look our dress my clothes oh my god because I hide my filters of my mind sis mine security mmm and that's what all they were doing they were all very disgusting insecure people but they hide they're filled with beautiful clothes a jury and stuff and that's what I learned him from the hood yeah I didn't I feel by beauty using it that's how a mask of um but if then what if the mask of humility and a mask of it's just a man it's not who we are uh-huh there you go I learned from my mentor he said we're never buddies who they appear to be I'm not who I appear to be you know who your people I mean it's kind of outing like we're all together nobody's who they appear to be mm-hmm yeah put the mask yeah masks we wear stuff like that the mask affinity that's what I say but ask a family how's the book I was at our um our man secure guy cuz I don't have educators I meet so many balls yeah I want people to think I'm in told you haven't told him without the books yeah my whole life had been absorbed by books yeah but you're a curious person Mike huh you're a curious person that's one thing just do it sitting down with you for the last hour and a half you know I did the podcast with you before and sitting down here with you now you no matter what happens to you in life you always keep moving forward you keep staying curious you want to learn you have this thirst for knowledge and you listen so that's kind of like where did that come from is that part of you said use the word destiny do you think it's just were you born for that or did you develop that did you hear them somebody along the way I don't know why I was born I wish sometimes not look at this and life I know I don't know why I'm searching for something because it keeps me away from finding out more about Who I am that's what we're doing like we avoid finding out who we are so we kidding fathers so many other things we and we create landmarks you know we do great things because we're trying to avoid who we are but who we are comes out in our work you know yeah that's a big that's a big is some misconception we there's no secrets there's no secret we're sick of our secrets there's no secret everybody listen you'll be surprised people they
