Charles goes on to share insights on the modern NBA landscape; Barkley provides a compelling perspective on the evolution of basketball and the impact of legendary former and current players alike.

[@Rqs79]

One thing I love about Charles in telling his story is how he had enough self-awareness to know when he was doing something wrong or was holding on to emotional pain that wasn't helping him and made a change for the better. My favorite examples were him turning away from a potential life of juvenile delinquency when he thought about his grandmother while hiding from police in the woods and realizing the anger he had on the basketball court stemmed from childhood pain of having an absent father growing up. Not everyone does this.

[@user-nm5ry4xt5g]

I honestly believe his character would make him a great president today. Because hes rich and he was poor. He would do the right if he were president and I know it sounds crazy but you need someone like Chuck at top keeping everyone in check.

His questions, the way he allows the person to speak and tell their story without interrupting (unlike another top podcaster), adding and reacting where and as appropriate and even challenging the guest when required and managing to do it effectively while minimizing the feeling of it being confrontational, which lends to the guest being more forthwith and willing to answer more honestly. His entire demeanor is more relaxed and natural and his ability to keep things flowing makes for an enjoyable and entertaining time!

@@user-se7hf3vm3v lol not quite, he never has this type of freedom on TNT... when he get too fiery Ernie cuts to a commercial or they tell Shaq or Kenny in their earphone to chime in before Chuck says something that upsets someone... why you think they wear those earphones? It's so the producers can speak to them.

This has to be one of the greatest sit downs so far!

That was Podcast Masterclass. There were no surprises sprung. No gotcha questions. It was well organized. Shannon Sharp learned from the mistakes on the Amanda Seales podcast and he improved his game. This was easy to listen to and so many valuable information and messages to learn from. Ricardo Authenticity Rating is 10 out of 10.

Chuck, i listened to this while pulling weeds in my yard in South Dakota. Thank you for the random shoutout! I havent watched a single second of basketball outside of Inside, but i havent missed a beat since 2018 when i discovered highlights of yall on youtube while i was deployed. The show is so great i literally watch it for you guys, i couldnt be bothered by whats going on in the NBA. In this interview you talked about race issues and inequality, I'm here to say you have this rural white boy as a fan for life. Keep speaking facts and may God give you good health. Thanks for everything man

What a great dude. No BS, no beating around the bush, no false modesty. Just honest opinions on the sport, fellow athletes and himself.

[@robrobles3518]

I was a friend of a fellow whose brother played with Charles when he was in Phoenix, I was able to meet him after a road game with our young daughters, other players rushed by, but Charles was friendly, joked with the girls, signed everything the girls wanted signed and as a father, for such a celebrity to make a few minutes special for his kids was incredible. Charles is exactly as he seems in this interview, sincere and completely honest with no hidden agenda. I am a Barkley fan for life. Charles was an incredible athlete, but he is just as incredible of a person.

[@Buttamilkbunny98]

The interview was amazing. Shannon and Charles are mature, respectful, and talented men. Southerners as myself will mention our grandmother and family during a conversation, I love it!! Good raising❤❤❤.
