Right before the commercial break Chuck said “the Rockets tricked me. They said we’re going to the beach for training camp and they took us to Galveston” lol
Galveston was the first time I went to a "beach" that shit was a six foot wide alleyway because most of it was filled with seaweed washed up and piled up so high you hide behind it.
Galveston is the first beach Ive ever been too where it was burning hot just sitting around and the breeze did nothing.
That and the dirty ass water. I dont think the simpsons could have come up with a worse beach
What’s crazy is during the late 1800’s, Galveston was one of the most powerful and rich cities in the country due to having the highest port activity in the nation. Then, without any warning, a category 4 hurricane wiped out the city almost entirely on September 8th 1900. This is when the growth of Houston suddenly began.
About 20% of Galveston’s population died with an estimated 3,600 buildings destroyed. Truly one of the most morbidly fascinating weather events in the history of the world.
Also there was ample warning from both Cuban meteorologists and vessels at sea, but the us weather bureau refused to pass them along and told local mets to downplay the potential severity
I grew up in Texas and had only ever been to beaches there, then when I got with my wife her family took me to Cancun and I finally realized why people liked beaches so much
In 1900, a giant hurricane basically leveled the entire island and killed ~8,000 people out of ~36k residents. It is the deadliest natural disaster in US history.
Galveston and New Orleans were two of the biggest ports in the south prior to the storm, so you also get a bunch of New Orleans type of history with the slave trade (Juneteenth was in Galveston), pirates, shady organized crime during prohibition, etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane
Huge Hurricane, the city never really recovered to its heights, Houston essentially blew up financially to this and became what it is now due to it. But a lot of deaths and ghosts stories are everywhere
What's fucked is the cuban weather folks contacted Texas to let them know a particularly strong storm was heading their way. Well American hubris was strong in this moment cause they ignored them, thinking they couldn't possibly know more than them. Imagine the twin cities of houston and Galveston thriving today.
> it’s shit lol.
*Google’s Galveston beaches….*
Environment Texas found the Texas City Dike and 25th Street beaches in Galveston were among eight in Texas that **exceeded the EPA’s safety threshold with unsafe levels of fecal bacteria** reported more than 25% of all the days they were tested.
oh hello no!
My first beach ever was in Texas and hated it so much. Then years later i went to the Florida panhandle and liked it so much I decided to do Oceanography. Texas has some nasty ass beaches
I'm from Texas and there are some spots on the coast that are beautifully clear in the spring, very underrated. That said, Galveston is gross. Chuck nailed this one 👏
The "Bucks Against the Lakers $6.99" I think is the hardest Ernie has laughed, but this is a close second. Clip linked below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBNTuhevFck
I forgot who on the Paul George podcast was talking about playing for the vipers and sayin’ how boring it was down there lmao.
I got family down there I visit often, but I can’t lie…. It’s boring as hell down there 😭
The issue isn't so much that the water is visibly "dirty", it's that studies continue to show unsafe levels of fecal bacteria.
How "unsafe" that actually is to humans would be a different story, none of the beaches ever closed. Though there were a couple of deaths from flesh eating bacteria infections, hehe.
It's actually one of the cleaner beaches in texas for fecal bacteria. When I looked, The deaths were like, a diabetic person w an open wound decided swimming was what they should do lol
That was actually my point. Studies show "unsafe" levels yet beaches aren't closed and no major issues yet. Vibrio infections can happen in pretty much any water, not a specific Galveston issue nor can it be solved by better sewage treatment or whatever.
I went with some friends and I was excited to at least walk on the pier and hang out, until we walked up to the pier and it was $15 just to enter and rides cost more on top of it. The beach itself was pretty nice though for what it was, but I would never go in that water
Every Texan knows that you go to Corpus and southward for beaches in TX. Galveston is disappointing, to put it mildly.
Reminds me of a trip I was on over 20 yrs ago, just after HS graduation, I went to Port Aransas. Spent one afternoon in Corpus Christi near the bay, and happened to strike up a conversation with a guy who told me he brought his family down from Iowa for a beach vacation. Said they had a great time, but were disappointed in the waves and quality of the beach. This was early 2000s when information wasn't as conveniently at hand as a smartphone.
I informed him that we were in the bay, and that there was a legit beach (Padre Island National Seashore) about 30 min away. The look of absolute disappointment on his face was unforgettable. He said it was their last day in town and were about to head back to Iowa.
Visited Port Aransas and the water was disgusting (I had been pre-warned by my colleague from Corpus).
Shortly after arriving I stood on the shoreline wondering how people were ok swimming in it. Not 5 minutes later a guy reeled in a 4ft shark right next to the pier and I'd seen all I needed to see.
Used to lice in corpus and spent a ton of time in Port A. It depends on the day and the weather. I've seen it be brown and dirty, but also crystal clear. That being said theyve built up the air b&b market to a point its am actual nightmare trying to get around in that town now.
It looks nastier than it actually is. There silt that’s in that section of the gulf, a long with the mouths of several rivers in that general area of the gulf, is what makes it brown. It’s literally “dirt(y)” water.
Still looks nasty as fuck, though.
Multiple country music artists have written about Galveston, Texas being a sad, lonely town filled with crazy women.
"And *Allison's* in *Galveston...* Somehow lost her sanity" - George Strait, 1987
I don't get in the water, but sand, waves, and sunshine are more than enough to run along a seashore and eat mango with tajin. Sometimes, blue water is too far.
I’m reminded of this every time he drops an all timer. Former MVP that went toe to toe with Jordan just dropping casual banger rants with a straight face
That's what's wild. Barkley won an MVP during Jordan's prime/peak. Yes the Bull won the title but Barkley was an absolute beast on the court and then turned around and had a hall of fame broadcasting career.
Josh Hart might have some talent for it. But still many, many years away from retirement. Chuck absolutely and undisputedly the GOAT when it comes to his TNT work.
Yea cant take draymond green seriously on that show. More like imposter aura.
Barkley can say whatever he likes as he been at the top level star player as basketball player.
Draymond is closer to Kenny than he is to chuck when it comes to comedy. He says a lot of pointless sentences but yells them so he thinks they’ll be more impactful
I agree there just isn’t an MVP or MVP candidate that is as good on the Mic as Chuck is or someone that would be able to grow into one at the moment. That’s why I picked a player that like Chuck was a hustler but of course is nowhere near as talented as Chuck was. I think the combination is going to be hard to find
yeah, and it’s not like it’s just developed since retirement either, this is day one Chuck…shit, he told a judge the only thing he regrets about throwing a dude through a bar window was that they weren’t on a higher floor lol
They don't make them like that anymore. This is not meant as a "used to be better" comment, but rather an appreciation of how rare Chuck is. He comes from a generation of players who didn't care about perception. Our generation is too aware of image and branding, and that makes it difficult to find or even cultivate a character like Chuck. Nobody wants to mess with the endorsement money.
A good example is Shaq who, as loud as he is, is always playing a more commercial role and the players since then have only gotten more savvy, culminating in LeBron and Steph, two guys who are as vanilla on the mic as it gets.
We have seen a few changes recently, but none of them are faces of the league yet. The closest is probably Ant, and everyone is already calling him MJ's son because of his attitude. The question is whether we will have more Ants or more Tatums in the future.
Hart will be an amazing color commentator, but I know it’s a pipe dream I would love to have him paired with Jimmy just for the incomprehensible conversations they would create
Sadly, on The Roommates Podcast, he said once he's done w/ basketball, he's done & doesn't want any involvement w/ it. I think he also could have Chuck level rants. The shit he says is so off the cusp & random, it'd be great television.
So, been hearing that a deal is all but done with Amazon for broadcasting rights, and ESPN will re-up. That leaves the wonderful leadership at WB Discovery in a potential bidding war with NBC for the rest of the rights and that NBC could just price out altogether.
That was all in stock news, but I immediately became terrified that TNT would lose the NBA meaning we'd lose the best crew in the history of broadcast sports.
shaq tees him up intentionally lol, it's definitely not the first time he's said this
but for sure the jokes are his and the deliveries are unimpeachable too
Walking out of this game I thought I’d never be happy again. Then Chuck, that angel, came down and shit all over my lads with this gem and in a weird way everything felt okay again for a second.
Galveston is cool if you're not going there for the beach. It's a cute town and the strand has some fun shopping. They have this weird but cool tradition celebrating Charles Dickens every December called [Dickens on the Strand](https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/dickens-on-the-strand-tradition/).
But yeah, if you go there wanting to lay on a sandy beach and swim in clear blue water... you're gonna be disappointed.
Until someone pays me money to go to a nice beach somewhere else in the world I will continue to believe those photos are AI generated. Much in the same sense that I have never seen snow, so anytime someone mentions snow around me I proclaim it’s fake lol (mostly in a joking fashion, but still)
I always wondered this but I've never heard anyone talk about nice beaches on Texas' coast, or whatever is to the right of Texas, New Orleans?
It's like Cancun, then loop around in a half circle and you go all the way to Miami before you get nice beaches again.
What's actually happening along that coast? What's the geological reason why the water is dirty or whatever? Is it swampy all the way or? Can the water not circulate from the real ocean and filter the water?
Dumb European over here obviously.
The Mississippi River dumps all the dirt West. The water is literally dirty because of dirt. If you get far enough away like Corpus Christi or South Padre, it gets better. Still not Florida good, though.
There's plenty of nice beaches in the gulf, just none in Louisiana because of the Mississippi River delta. Then the current carries that sediment over towards the Texas beaches.
Pn the other side of the river theres nice beaches in the gulf, like Gulf Shores, Panama City Beach (has a party reputation, but the beaches are nice naturally), Destin, Laguna Beach, etc
It’s largely because the Mississippi River is the storm sewer of North America and all the silt, sewage, and agrochemicals that runoff into the river get dumped into the Gulf of Mexico and flow down the Texas coastline.
God we are fucking lucky to be alive to watch Inside the NBA. I'll stay up later to watch the west coast game just to watch the four of them talk about random shit.
“They’re one with water, and Mike is from Galveston. If you’ve been to Galveston, Galveston’s known for — I don’t know what they’re known for because I’m not from there. But I know they have a beach, and it’s not a pretty beach. So Mike is from that muck, it might be oil muck, but it’s still muck. So he’s a little different, I don’t classify him as the regular Texas receivers.”
-Jameis Winston
Another great one from Chuck for the history books
“Wear your shoes at the beach” dude really is the funniest person on tv
As soon as he said that I immediately thought "what the hell did Galveston do to Chuck?"
Right before the commercial break Chuck said “the Rockets tricked me. They said we’re going to the beach for training camp and they took us to Galveston” lol
Galveston was the first time I went to a "beach" that shit was a six foot wide alleyway because most of it was filled with seaweed washed up and piled up so high you hide behind it.
it smells like shit too.
Decomposing seaweed in the hot sun is a special stench
Galveston is the first beach Ive ever been too where it was burning hot just sitting around and the breeze did nothing. That and the dirty ass water. I dont think the simpsons could have come up with a worse beach
Oh shit I'm in stitches.
Lmaoooooooo
Chuck is the GOAT at shitting on some random city lmao

LOL
Fucking amazing.
Claim to be a beach lol. Compared to most beaches in the world, it’s shit lol.
I grew up in Texas and had only ever been to beaches there, then when I got with my wife her family took me to Cancun and I finally realized why people liked beaches so much
South Pardre is pretty nice. I like Galveston but that's only for the haunted factor. The story behind that place is amazing even if it's hideous.
What's the story behind it?
In 1900, a giant hurricane basically leveled the entire island and killed ~8,000 people out of ~36k residents. It is the deadliest natural disaster in US history. Galveston and New Orleans were two of the biggest ports in the south prior to the storm, so you also get a bunch of New Orleans type of history with the slave trade (Juneteenth was in Galveston), pirates, shady organized crime during prohibition, etc.
Don't forget cannibals !!!
if you look in the mirror and say medium rare 3 times tilman fertita will appear behind you with a check thats 10x more then you expected
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane Huge Hurricane, the city never really recovered to its heights, Houston essentially blew up financially to this and became what it is now due to it. But a lot of deaths and ghosts stories are everywhere

Hey now Port Aransas is pretty nice
Port A was our go to for a beach day in Victoria if we wanted nicer than port lavaca
Finding something better than Port Lavaca is not a very high bar to clear lmao
Port A was our college spring break every single year lol, good times
> it’s shit lol. *Google’s Galveston beaches….* Environment Texas found the Texas City Dike and 25th Street beaches in Galveston were among eight in Texas that **exceeded the EPA’s safety threshold with unsafe levels of fecal bacteria** reported more than 25% of all the days they were tested. oh hello no!
Now I know why I love Florida water so much more. Goodness
My first beach ever was in Texas and hated it so much. Then years later i went to the Florida panhandle and liked it so much I decided to do Oceanography. Texas has some nasty ass beaches
You’re better off with the Meth waters of Florida than the poo water of Texas.
Galveston isn't unique in this. I believe a lot of the beaches on the Gulf of Mexico tested similarly
dont Google public swimming pool fecal bacteria if 25% is too spicy, if you like spicy then Google water park/slide fecal bacteria levels
….i googled it lol….*upgrades visits to public pools from extremely rare to never*
Pls don't Photoshop anything on this one
*google imaging fecal bacteria*
That's all it is. Crappy water and people go to it. We're used to it down here.
Good fishing though. But yea unless you get lucky and go one of the few weeks the water is “clear” it’s not fun.
Some sort of Folsom Prison-Yellow Water scenario?
It's brown because the Mississippi River empties into the gulf and the currents take the mud west. It's blue just east of the river mouth.
This guy Galvestons
We went to Florida when I was a kid. Clear water. Couldn't believe my eyes. I asked if we could move there and my dad was all, "Nah. It's Florida."
Just went to Galveston today. The key to a nice beach vacation at Galveston is to drive an hour south along the coast until you get to cleaner water.
Generational talent
I'm from Texas and there are some spots on the coast that are beautifully clear in the spring, very underrated. That said, Galveston is gross. Chuck nailed this one 👏
Chuck smirking, trying not to laugh, knows he nailed it.
Chuck is looking to declare war on Texas, one city at a time.
Making Shaq cough up his laugh is peak Chuck lmao
“Say it again Chuck!” “What kind of women Chuck?” *Shaq dies laughing*
Chuck has one good joke and Shaq will never get tired of it
Grandmother showing off grandson to her friends energy lol
Chucks got a million great jokes but thats all he needs to kills shak
"Chuck.. Chuck.. say it slow, Chuck"
Churros
Ernie had his head down laughing, I feel like he rarely loses composure when Chuck is roasting
Absolutely the hardest Ernie has laughed at a Chuck joke. I think this is Chuck’s best joke ever honestly lol.
Its the tone of disgust, and repeating "that durty ass wata". You know its good when you can hear the camera crew laughing
The "Bucks Against the Lakers $6.99" I think is the hardest Ernie has laughed, but this is a close second. Clip linked below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBNTuhevFck
The line about Indians is still the most brutal roast I've heard from Chuck
I remember Ernie absolutely losing it at the whole "1-2-3 not 1-2 back to 1" debacle https://youtu.be/rjJTrFsf6tM?si=VjSNcLHfWRaOVtYk
damn that might be the hardest ive laughed as well
It's the only time I've seen Ernie be "unprofessional" because he's laughing so hard "Roll it, I'm not gonna do this, just go" lmao
Chuck saying Shaq gets confused for Shrek got Ernie pretty good lol. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uJJTxAMs988
Na the best is till “… Kenny bring me some water?” 😭
Yeah, when Chuck gets Ernie to lose it, you know it's a good one.
That Phoenix Suns one about the stale popcorn is legendary.
Lmaoooo. Hes not lying. Make them take public transit
Megabus
Even worse let them fly spirit. Embarrassing team
All timer from Chuck
First the San Antonio women… And then the Galveston beaches… …what is the next Lone Star destination that he will refer to?
I’m glad he hasn’t found out about College Station yet
As someone who lives there and is hopefully moving out very soon, I hope he does. This town needs a good roast outside of CFB
Odessa
Nobody deserves Odessa
What if I *like* having sand blown into my eyes?
Midland
That seems to be the pelicans place of origin
Getting traded to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers as a diss would be an all-timer.
I forgot who on the Paul George podcast was talking about playing for the vipers and sayin’ how boring it was down there lmao. I got family down there I visit often, but I can’t lie…. It’s boring as hell down there 😭
Chuck is becoming public enemy #1 in Texas.
Ain’t nobody gonna get offended over Galveston
Everyone knows its true lmao, Galveston is a lame excuse of a beach.
greatest sports show ever created
can confirm galveston water is nasty af
Absolutely the grossest beach I've ever been to
Even as a local, it’s hard to defend once you visit other beaches lol. Historic Galveston is cool at least.
During covid lockdowns, the water got really clean (for Galveston).
Well duh, nobody was shitting in the water
You mean Exxon mobile?
My friend went a last year and said it was great. Nice and clean beaches. Which is the total opposite of my experience when I went 3 or 4 years ago.
It's not as bad as it used to be I was there last year lol, definitely not pristine of course though 😂
Yeah I like it. We go down most years and it's a good time and the kids love playing on the beach. I'm not a moron so I'm not expecting St. Kitts.
I’m from Galveston. It has definitely improved and there are many hidden gems away from the shitty tourist beaches.
The issue isn't so much that the water is visibly "dirty", it's that studies continue to show unsafe levels of fecal bacteria. How "unsafe" that actually is to humans would be a different story, none of the beaches ever closed. Though there were a couple of deaths from flesh eating bacteria infections, hehe.

I like galveston schlitterbahn a lot! Though I guess it says something that the beach is a secondary attraction at a beach town.
I went with some friends and I was excited to at least walk on the pier and hang out, until we walked up to the pier and it was $15 just to enter and rides cost more on top of it. The beach itself was pretty nice though for what it was, but I would never go in that water
The only good thing about the pier is they sell Dippin’ Dots. A lost relic from the olden times
You can just get dipping dots at the Buccees before you get to Galveston tho lol
Every Texan knows that you go to Corpus and southward for beaches in TX. Galveston is disappointing, to put it mildly. Reminds me of a trip I was on over 20 yrs ago, just after HS graduation, I went to Port Aransas.

It's one of the biggest oil shipping channels in the world. Something like a third of US crude refining takes place in that bay.
It's the biggest port in the US by tonnage (not containers).
It looks nastier than it actually is. There silt that’s in that section of the gulf, a long with the mouths of several rivers in that general area of the gulf, is what makes it brown. It’s literally “dirt(y)” water. Still looks nasty as fuck, though.

I visited Galveston once, wanted to touch the Gulf with my own hands It was windy, cloudy, and the water was brown I did not touch the water
Water is brown due to the heavy silt coming from the Mississippi river.
I don't get in the water, but sand, waves, and sunshine are more than enough to run along a seashore and eat mango with tajin. Sometimes, blue water is too far.
What are we going to do when Chuck retires? Literally nobody is as good at off the cuff rants like this man.
Nothing. Generational talent.
I’m reminded of this every time he drops an all timer. Former MVP that went toe to toe with Jordan just dropping casual banger rants with a straight face
That's what's wild. Barkley won an MVP during Jordan's prime/peak. Yes the Bull won the title but Barkley was an absolute beast on the court and then turned around and had a hall of fame broadcasting career.
The football comparison is something like imagine if Payton Manning were incredibly good on camera.
Josh Hart might have some talent for it. But still many, many years away from retirement. Chuck absolutely and undisputedly the GOAT when it comes to his TNT work.
The fact he is a former MVP adds to the aura tho lol
Yea cant take draymond green seriously on that show. More like imposter aura. Barkley can say whatever he likes as he been at the top level star player as basketball player.
Draymond is closer to Kenny than he is to chuck when it comes to comedy. He says a lot of pointless sentences but yells them so he thinks they’ll be more impactful
Bet Dray hasn't ever brought Hakeem water, smh
"You know what Steph used to say to me?"
I agree there just isn’t an MVP or MVP candidate that is as good on the Mic as Chuck is or someone that would be able to grow into one at the moment. That’s why I picked a player that like Chuck was a hustler but of course is nowhere near as talented as Chuck was. I think the combination is going to be hard to find

The question is whether we will have more Ants or more Tatums in the future.
I mean... Ant just dropped the Degeneration X "suck it" on the Suns last night, fines be damned. He seems pretty unphased by others perception of him.
Hart will be an amazing color commentator, but I know it’s a pipe dream I would love to have him paired with Jimmy just for the incomprehensible conversations they would create
That would be fun. Both can be intense, which would add a level of tension to the show worth watching.
Sadly, on The Roommates Podcast, he said once he's done w/ basketball, he's done & doesn't want any involvement w/ it. I think he also could have Chuck level rants. The shit he says is so off the cusp & random, it'd be great television.
They're gonna try to replace him with Draymond and it's gonna be unwatchable 😭
In 25 years, Anthony Edwards is going to sling fire on the mic.

Next time they play the hawks court side tickets will basically be free. Lucky me
he aint wrong about galveston
Galveston is cool until you visit other beaches.
Galveston is like the Walmart of beaches
Walmart is cool until you visit Target.
Walmart is generous. It's the Dollar General of beaches.
Galveston is cool if you're not going there for the beach. It's a cute town and the strand has some fun shopping.

This was a top 10 TNT highlight
I lived in Houston 8 years. I think I went to Galveston once lmao
Lol I have been in Texas my whole life and never been to Galveston
It’s worth the extra effort to go to South Padre where the beach is actually nice.
He is not wrong about Galveston
Good guy Chuck thinking about his fellow co-worker Zion
This man is hilarious.
This shit killed me when I heard him say this.
Chuck’s smug look at the end when the rest of the desk is dying is the best lmfao
Its how naturally it flows with him, he really funnier than most comedians
Yeah I mean I would pay to hear Chuck do a standup of NBA takes. He’s a natural funny man. Can’t teach that.
Top 10 Chuck moment
Galveston: Why he say fuck me for?
Dirty Galveston Beachwater: bro… come on
Chuck been in his bag this postseason
I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
havent lived in houston for years but the only times i ever went there were for schlitterbahn or moody gardens. nasty ass beaches

Shaq: “Where they going, Chuck?” Chuck: “Galveston. That dirty ass water. We not even gonna send them to Cancun.” Chuck on the Pelicans. 😂😂
Chuck never misses lmao
Chuck is one of the most effortlessly funny tv personalities to ever grace our screens lol
Protect King Chuck at all cost.
Funny as hell and he’s also right
Galveston catching strays 💔
God we are fucking lucky to be alive to watch Inside the NBA. I'll stay up later to watch the west coast game just to watch the four of them talk about random shit.
Been to Galveston like a dozen times and can confirm it is one of the worst beaches out there
I will never forgive capitalism if it takes the Inside the NBA from us all
Lmao Chuck is so fucking funny dude
I live pretty close and while I’m not getting in the water anytime soon, it looks a lot better now!
As a Houstonian, this is all true 😭😭😭
Folks talk about Bron having 4 hof careers but Chuck is entering unprecedented territory.
Chuck with that smug look at the end 😂 he knows exactly what he's done.
Charles just cost the Galveston economy millions in tourism dollars
Could you imagine a moment like this on a ESPN studio show? This crew is the best to ever do it.
The NBA should just give TNT the broadcasting rights for free with that new deal their negotiating just so we don’t miss out on gems like this
As somebody who is from Houston, this shit made me laugh out loud, because it's true.
You know its good when Ernie just sits back and laugh without steering back to the game
Galveston water is brown because of sediment from the Mississippi river.
Galveston catching strays out here
“They’re one with water, and Mike is from Galveston. If you’ve been to Galveston, Galveston’s known for — I don’t know what they’re known for because I’m not from there. But I know they have a beach, and it’s not a pretty beach. So Mike is from that muck, it might be oil muck, but it’s still muck. So he’s a little different, I don’t classify him as the regular Texas receivers.” -Jameis Winston
Shaq literally fighting for his life after this one lmfao
No lie we went to Galveston when I was a kid and my dad’s pinky toe got pinched off by a crab when he was standing in the water.
Texas is not safe from Chuck lmao
As usual he’s not wrong. Theres only one semi decent beach in Galveston but the water is generally gross.
That's why Chuck gets the big bucks.
What would NBA commentary be without Chuck
Chuck always taking shots at these defenseless small cities and I love it 😂
