Kenny’s joke backfires on Chuck about overworking and kissing ESPNs behind
Now we sponsored by Popeyes. That’s an instant classic.
and Popeyes is loving it
Not gonna lie Popeyes would hit rn
Popeyes PR team is shimmying
No that’s McDonald’s thing
I fucking love popeyes
It makes me endlessly happy that this show carries on as-is with all the drama over the past year or so. A major win.
The cut to the wide shot with the Popeyes logo right after he says it is legit sitcom stuff
EJ’s neato stat of the night
I can’t believe we only get to see this show a handful of times before December
Maybe less is more. I mean half the time last year we got the C team anyways
And there’s really only a handful of weeks before December. Fuckin time change is next weekend!
Yea muchhhhhh rather have jcrossover callin games than up there tryna be funny it just wasnt hitting for me lol but the way he broke down that okc rockets game was beautiful…seeing and saying shit only a former player could
And it usually starts off good before Chuck and Shaq start acting like jackasses, and people go back to hating them
To be honest, it was probably a slog for them to do some of those early regular season games when everyone is still watching football. Less is probably better and then they can ramp it up come playoffs
Completely agree. Plus if it will get them to do the show longer than I’m all for it.
I don’t know if it was much more than that with TNT anyway. They always ran a lot of backup crews and subs early in the season
Yeah the B-team was doing the heavy lifting in the first half of the season for TNT. They hadn’t aired on Thursdays during football season for like the last four years. This year’s schedule is only slightly less than what they did last season.
If they made them the regular studio show I might pay for ESPN Unlimited.
Is the show going to end in December or something
the show doesnt really start until next year
tmrws show, next week, day after veterans day and christmas are the only shows they are doing until end of january
And even then March is empty because EJ Chuck and Kenny will be doing March madness
Don’t they get to do the finals
Idk if it is confirmed.
They said they get to do the Finals on the broadcast today
Why is this the case having fewer shows now?
I enjoy basketball but a 6+ hour NBA block is even more enjoyable with a deeply knowledgeable crew who is also just fun to watch and listen to.
Yeah im so confused about programming
Probably for the best, they won’t be watching the games (they hardly watch the playoffs) so there isnt really much they will provde
The production crew cracking up in the background is always nice.
One of my fave things about the show.
I’m so glad to hear them again in the background.
Already in rare form
I was worried that ESPN would censor these 4 too much but it’s good to see that they’re still fine with roasting themselves.
I wish someone would post the full clip of this (I would if I knew how). They showed a joke “Chuck ESPN schedule” where he’s booked from 3am to 6pm on ESPN The Ocho, Deportes, etc. 😂
You better pay me you gonna run my ass ragged
“Y’all not gonna work me like a dog and not pay me”
Anyone who thought ESPN would censor them completely missed, or intentionally ignored, what they did with Pat Mcafee. I’m no fan of ESPN — the fact that SAS is the face of their NBA coverage is pathetic. But they knew to not meddle with/gag a unique product with Mcafee, and there was no reason they’d do anything different here.
They absolutely will “censor” them if they keep taking shots at the shield/sponsors/at ESPN leadership.
I GUAR-on-TEE it.
The shield? This isn’t the NFL.
It’s a colloquialism
Nope it’s called the logo in the NBA
holy shit don’t be so insecure.
I think it’s all on YouTube.

lmao, things haven’t changed one bit.
Except Chuck..he looks a lot slimmer
Was gonna say, chuck looking great here
Ozempic’s a hell of a drug.
Mounjaro fool!
Here. You dropped this: Tkiliman
Ozempic working overtime on Chucky
https://youtube.com/shorts/v1_zVcPK1Bg?si=Ndfd0qJ_kT1dddcQ
He was taking Mounjaro
Yeah they showed him at a auburn game and I even said the same thing. He looks way slimmer and healthier. Love that for him
Sucks we won’t see them much before December
Wait, why not?
ESPN
Or maybe it’s the talent? Most of the early season shows last year didn’t have the main three
True
Guaranteed these guys are happy to not do as many shows and probably negotiated the schedule.
Ozempic Chuck looks like a completely different person.
I mean i’m glad he is healthier now but man this looks weird and unusual still
Craft services at ESPN isn’t as good as TNT.
just wait till espn brings out the san antonio women and the churros 😭
Show is still being done at TNT in Atlanta.
Went from “Round Mound of Rebound” to “Tall Glass of Rebound”
He looks great. Not too much weight loss, but looks healthy.
This is how he looked when he played
So happy to hear that Ernie-trying-to-keep-it-together laugh paired with a Kenny desk slap while Chuck’s going off and Shaq is hunched over hanging on for dear life again
Kenny, tell me how my ass taste?
Kenny tell me how my as taste?
Tell me how my Ad’s Taste
Holy shit Chuck slimmed tf up
Ozempic probably
Not probably. He’s been very open about it all.

I recall Chuck saying that they had a pre-tape show before they were even going to be on ESPN talking about the game, but they weren’t allowed to show the highlights
Is this what it’s going to be like?
You’re misremembering. He was talking about if the show stayed on TNT they wouldn’t be able to show NBA highlights because Turner wouldn’t have the right to the NBA anymore.
Chuck has said this in ways multiple times so you’re recalling one part and the other person is recalling another part. they’re not misremembering.
TNT is planning to do a separate show with these guys because they get paid a lot. So, they were at least planning a separate sports show. similar to Gil’s arena or even Fox’s undisputed, etc. where they can debate with just a highlight package.
It would’ve been like Kevin Garnett’s current show on showtime if they’d still been on TNT due to not having rights to the highlights.
Underrated plus of this arrangement is that they finally get to work the Finals as a team
I didn’t think about that. That will be awesome.
“Does it taste like chicken?” is such a throwback to the leaked behind the scenes clip of Inside the NBA @ the All Star game when Charles tells Kenny to get off Lebron’s balls lmao
Chuck slimmed down a great deal is he OK?
GLP-1
Chuck is the Einstein of come backs. No matter how much AI will advance, it won’t be able to replicate his wit.
It’s been an hour or so and their show is really more entertaining than anything ESPN put out in 10 years
Have they told Chuck his schedule for ESPN Deportes yet?
To be aired exclusively in the San Antonio market
Kenny’s the worst. It’s wild this dude shares a table with Charles Barkley and Shaq.
He’s a good instigator but that “bit” he had saying nobody besides the graphics crew worked over the summer was really insulting.
Man Charles looks a lot slimmer
“Who are we sponsored by Chuck? aheheeh”
One of the funniest elements of this crew is that Kenny is such a try hard in an effort to be the funny guy but he’s just legitimately not funny despite the effort. So then Shaq and Charles just get to dunk on him without trying hard at all.
I love it! The boys are back in town!
Can someone explain the joke haha I didn’t get it
https://youtu.be/9QLXdrPYDoc?si=1ssCVh7ERaBOk345
Long story short back when they were on TNT Chuck would make jokes about ESPN makes their people work too much. Chuck, at the start of the segment was saying how great it was to work for espn. Then they showed a montage about what Charles said. And then Kenny said Charles was kissing booty and now you’re caught up. And to make things funnier EJ always says they’re unsullied by sponsorship since 1989… now they’re sponsored by Popeyes
Chuck looking slim
We so back.
^^Side ^^note ^^Chuck ^^looking ^^skinnier ^^and ^^healthier.
Man Chuck has generational wit lmao
ah missed them. gonna kill it on ESPN
Chuck looks…great
That ESPN logo looks like it’s superimposed by AI
The Popeyes ad is nasty work
lol kenny is an idiot
There is nothing better than watching Kenny take his L. consistently says nothing of importance and then when he makes a joke gets reversal dunked on 🤣🤣
The GOAT.
Is it just me or is there a weird tension 😅…Shaq was just giving the camera guy shit for being panned on his ass so long
I thought Kenny had some weirder than normal moments throughout the show (I was confused by why he was ragging on production).
So far so good
Bruh what’s the cheapest way a jobless ass broke ass like me can watch these guys?
Youtube
Chuck as sharp as ever
Now I want some Popeyes
Wait what’s going on in December and are we gonna see inside the nba more when December arrives. I’m confused
I’m am sick and that line from chuck made laugh and have a coughing fit at the same time.
I wonder tomorrow if Chuck will shout Samoa Joe for the San Antonio big ol women comment?
Popeyes: Tastes Like Chicken
Damn chuck really slimmed down, that ozempic putting in extra work
so they’re supposed to be on like 20 times this season.. seems super low.
Doesn’t matter which network they’re on. As long as the whole crew is intact, they’ll always be the greatest sports show ever assembled. The rest just followed suit.
Cooked
Chuck lose some weight?
Chuck is already in mid-season form
Why is Kenny there. Seriously. You could replace him with anyone else and it wouldn’t matter.
If you gonna take a shot at the king you best not miss.
We need to see Popeye’s three times on screen huh?
I’m so glad these guys are done. The games yesterday was so refreshing without these theatrics
What do you mean done? And what theatrics?
“The games”, just watch the games then, dude. I manage to watch ESPN games while avoiding their postgame/pregame/halftime crew like the plague, you can do the same thing with the big bad ‘Inside the NBA’, chief.
nbc showed yesterday’s games
