Mike Tyson’s love for pigeons has always been a strange one but apparently he likes women who are even crazier. Tyson appeared on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” and told a strange story about a past girlfriend and his dear pigeons. Read more after the jump.
Mike Tyson: “There were no chickens back then (in the distant past), you know? You didn’t have no fried chicken back then.”
Craig Carton: “Do you think people were eating pigeons back then?”
Tyson: “Big time. They eat them now.”
Carton: “Yeah? Have you ever eaten pigeon?”
Tyson: “Never in my life.”
Boomer Esiason: “Well, you love the pigeons.”
Tyson: “I tried (eating one).”
Carton: “When did you try?”
Tyson: “I tried, um…”
Carton: “I want to hear this story.”
Tyson: “I tried. I was dating this young lady and she said, ‘I don’t know why you’re flying those damn birds, you should be eating them.’ … She happened to grab one and — and she cooked one and proceeded to eat it. And I just couldn’t do it.”
Carton: “You loved the pigeon that much.”
Boomer: “Well, cause he’s got a relationship with the pigeons.”
Tyson: “It just wasn’t the right thing to do.”
He went on to state the obvious: “That’s why she’s not my woman anymore.”
And as if we needed to know how she cooked it, Tyson said his ex-girlfriend put the pigeon in “some boiling stuff.”
“It wasn’t cool,” he said. “It was her house and we were living off of her dime, so she could do (it).”
