Tyson's vulnerability shows he has knowledge of his anger- he is able to be hurt. Burr shows a facade that he cannot be hurt- but we all know differently.

My advice for Tyson would be nothing. He handled it perfectly. I love straight forward people. He didn't dance around anything. Bill doesn't have to reveal anything. He just has to internalize that he is more aware than he believes and that he is consciously hiding things. A perfect move by Tyson.

this is my type of reaction video. 'Singing coach reacts to Metallica' is about as far from this as it can get.

Burr has talked about a lot of issues from his childhood in a humorous way for years. It may be difficult to discuss the same things in a more serious context. (I'm sure it would be for me.) I'm blown away by Tyson's evolution as a person in the public eye. He's showing a level of depth and vulnerability recently that I hadn't associated with him. I think Burr and Tyson spent years living as over-blown parodies of themselves. It's cool to see this part of their process. I love your speaking advice.

I think Tyson’s insights are spot on, which isn’t too surprising if you think about how extreme Tyson lived. He’s used all the tricks we all use on ourselves but at a different level. My suggestion for Tyson is engaging rather than pushing. Instead of “No, no, no…” and directly challenging, allowing Bill to be right in his assessments. It doesn’t have to be insincere but it allows them to align and face the monster of a temper together. To simplify, a ‘Yes, and’ question rather than a ‘No, but’ position…. Let Burr be right, and let him agree with you.

Tyson calling out Bill changing the topic by calling him clever was hilarious

Instead of asking “who hurt you?” Tyson could have asked a less direct comment, such as “I was hurt when I was younger, that’s what made me angry”.

My advice: 'You are born to be real not to be perfect' I think Tyson did well. As did Burr. Awkward silences can be undervalued, society is becoming far to sterile which leads to the social exclusion of clumsy people.

I'm just happy I watch the same videos as a communication professor. I feel pretty sophisticated right now.

A thing I always do when talking about personal stuff, is really trying to put myself in the shoes of others. When someone talks superficially about a problem, I try to imagine and hypothisize what kind of influence this would have on me. This way I demonstrate I'm willing to put in the work when dealing with the problems of my conversation partner. When I've proven myself being able to deal with their problem, they mostly open up to me.

I think Mike doesn’t care about his reputation, he’s always been talked about negatively, although also positively. Mike doesn’t curb his feelings to support his reputation, therefore he speaks his unfiltered thoughts. Bill walks that line, but it does seem like he holds onto an goal of acceptance which holds him back from saying exactly what he thinks, even if it’s only 5%. I hope to see him drop that tiny filter he has left. That last 5% is the most important part of comedy/informative conversation

That may be a product of years of confiding in people you should be able to trust (close family and friends) and despite how much you stress the importance of it being between me and you, they still tell others. This was my experience, I used to be hurt each time I gave someone a chance and several 2nd chances to be trusted, but I guess you can only take so much bc when I was about 18 I just accepted that I cannot expect trust and that everything I say is public domain, so there was no longer a reason to be mad or hurt when I confided my personal struggles to someone and hear other people talking about it. I'm just a guy trying to figure myself out, some struggle more than others, but everyone struggles, so why feel shame if people know I've also struggled?

That was an uppercut for the mind from Mike. He just let it rip on Bill. I totally agree that you need to share yourself first, even a little and the other guy will reciprocate. THANKS!!!

This was a really interesting video. I watched this interview before watching your video and being a fan of Burr as well as Tyson, I do have some observations. First, Tyson is an incredibly imposing figure. He has an aggressive presence, not only physically but also through his body language and reputation. If Jim Gaffigan was the interviewer, he could have posed the same question with the same verbiage and I'm sure it would simply roll off Bill's back. So that's one point I have to make. Also, I found Tysons interviewing style to be uncomfortably aggressive. He seems to get argumentative when his observations are dismissed or stepped-around. Part of the joy of watching interviews like this, is you know what to expect: a couple comedians joking around, maybe there will be some deeper talk, but it's usually glossed over for the laughs. And usually, the interviewer is flexible and will adapt to the guest. Tyson isn't having any of this. He wants to have go straight to the heart of the issue and he's very dismissive of Bill's seemingly honest attempts at explaining himself. I found all of this very uncomfortable. IMO this isn't how you conduct an interview/podcast. Granted it's given us some good content, but I still feel yucky after watching. You can also tell that Jeremy Piven is very aware of what's happening and is trying to act as a diffuser. I don't know if Bill was supposed to be the main guest, but with Piven acting like a "good cop" and Tyson aggressively leaning into whatever trauma caused Bill to develop anger problems, the focal point becomes Bill. He becomes the center of attention the whole podcast.

If there is one guy in the world, I enjoy seeing make other people uncomfortable, it is Mike Tyson. And it´s good that not every interviewer in the world does things exactly the same way. Altough there was one moment, where he was a bit quick to dismiss, where it seemed as if Burr was going to open up a little bit. But got pushed a little to much:P Still, I enjoyed the interview:)

Yeah, I agree with you 100% and I already knew that. I just used this technique with my nephew a couple of days ago. Once I told him that I have been hurt in that past, fell in love and cried over girls that I loved he opened up and told me about his thoughts and feelings and how hurt he was. People are afraid to be judged and looked down on as being gullible or weak, but when you tell them about your own weak, and gullible, moments and how you overcame them, they will trust that you won't judge them and they'll tell you about their struggle and trust in your advice. The only advice I'd give Tyson is to keep doing what he's doing :) I love that guy.

I think its just interesting that people give Tyson a lot of crap, but honestly he is very insightful and deep. It's amazing what you dont know about a person.

Tyson could have give Burr an escape-route in the question instead of pin him to the wall. He could have said; "Often we redirect our anger on things instead of the real cause. And often anger stands for feelings of being hurt. Do you recognize any of that?" or "Are you still in the process of figure out where the anger comes from?" And like you said, chare an experience of his own. I think that Piven (?) saved Burr by saing that they dragged him out on deep water. It gave Burr a bit of space. The question from Tyson was very deep and true but not suited for a podcast. It would have required Burr to be totaly comfortable and finished with his anger - issue and he said that he hadn't came that far.

I don't know much about Tyson, outside the most shallow knowledge regarding his past escapades. Over the years, he's said some incredibly insightful things that have floored me. This is a great example of that.

If you're a Bill Burr fan, you'd know that the source of his anger and pain comes from his dad.

If we view this as a negotiation, some of the most powerful questions in a negotiation are How and What-type questions. Giving a personal example of what hurt Tyson may be paired well with a question like this: "I was hurt this way by my father, what could have hurt you like that?" I love the dynamic of men helping men in a healthy way. Even if Tyson didn't hit a home run, his energy is in the right place and I like the space he creates.

Tyson is a fighter, which is how he approached the conversation - like a friendly sparring match. He's feeling Burr out, pushing him to get a sense of who he is as a person, how he will react when backed into a corner. Mike wants to see who Burr is underneath all the facade. Burr realised he had knowhere to go, he wasn't going to face Mike head on and he wasn't going to show too much vulnerability in public. So, he let Mike know he understood where he was coming from, showed him respect and that he wouldn't fight. But, Burr also showed Mike he wouldn't be pulled in too deep. Mike isn't trying to change Burr in the conversation, if anything he's trying to wake up what is already there buried within Burr.

My take: like you said comedians are extremely self aware, no doubt bill was doing calculations in that moment, and I think he gave us the answer he wanted, and didn't revial what the source is for a personal reason, fair. I think if Mike wanted to press it slightly he needed to catch that moment and after the short laugh about phones, bring it back and ask him "you said you know now, do you want to talk about that?" It was a very quick comment that needed to be held in place and addressed again, a gold nugget. Then we would have perhaps gotten a more direct no or yes kind of story.

Damn, Tyson is on it!

I've watched quite a bit of Mike Tyson speaking over this year. I paid no attention to him previously. All those blows on the head have made him one hell of an insightful man. He runs ropes around so many politicians, celebrities, guest speakers and what nots in this world today. Suffering. Life is suffering. Suffering can teach you. (and yeah, I realise he faced personal loss). In elite sports, only former world champion surfer Shaun Tomson comes close to or surpasses Tyson's insight. On the opposite side of ledger, Lance Cyclist!

Tyson took some good mushrooms before this, and I'm not sure if Bill knew how deep Tyson likes to dive in his Podcast, but shrooms brought it to another level. Bill has been talking about his anger for years and self searching so Im not sure if he's truly found the source, and while I hope for his sake that he does, it is also one of the things that drives his comedy and makes him one of the G.O.A.T.s in my opinion.

I doubt it made the people in the room feel closer. Tyson tried (albeit aggressively) to get bill to open up and Bill kept him at arms length away.

This could however be used as an opportunity to make the space more comfortable/ free of judgement/ open to him and then try and get him to open up again at a later time.

…just the phrase, “who hurt you” is a common phrase of attack on Social Media(probably in person, but not as much), so that was a big wrench thrown in the mix.

Tyson didn't need to change a thing. Id guess there's a certain level tact that's required with that level of fame and personal information, like you said. I'm sure they are hyper aware of that. Sometimes a healthy serving of fruit for thought is the best thing a friend could serve. "Who hurt you" maybe wasn't really a question from Tyson to Bur. It's a question one needs to know for clarity of self. I think that may have been the point of Tyson asking, not so much to get the answer but to stress that point. There's been a few times in my life someone gave me a quick dose of tough love like that and it fueled major revelation. I love your videos. Thank you. Feel free to give me your take on my opinion.

This is so thought provoking. Im trying to figure out why I have a temper now.

Helpful concept, comedyfavorite.

Hearing Tyson say "silly goose" just gave me such an awkward feeing....idk why it bothered me so much lol. It was like that feeling you get when someone creepy looks at you too long....lmao!

It is somewhat of a oxy-moron, like Jumbo Shrimp. What he does is passive but with a hint of sarcasm..coming from Mike is why it is such a brow raiser bc if you consider the child-like banter that he is using coming from such a strong and powerful figure, it lends itself to make the other person know that he is on to you, but letting you off the hook and not pressing more when he knows he has you but dismisses it with that playground type banter. It is both funny and terrifying to me at the same time lol.

"Funny and terrifying" is a great description.

@@alexanderlyon it's like he sunk down to a lower level banter with intentional whimsical "Mother Goose" type talking as a way for Bill to let his guard down with humor. In the back of Bills mind he must have had conflict on how to respond bc it was so out of left field..The irony is that Tyson is so physically dominant and has a huge charismatic quality but yet almost baby talk comes out and your are like, something ain't right lol, it's not, it's Tyson lol.

Tyson can make a good interviewer
