    Political ads…ugh
    Always loved this podacast. Loved how they are not afraid to take on issues outside of sports. Was very excited to see it was back, but very disappointed that the episode turned out to be a political ad for Kamala. Will continue to listen, but just became a “if I have nothing else” to listen to

    Doug Emhoff
    It was nice to hear Doug talk about being a “wife guy”. Ernie is definitely a wife guy with how he talks about Cheryl Ann. Chuck-why no love for your wife- even as the mother of your daughter? You show so much love and empathy for others. It seems sad.

    Emhoff? Really?!?
    Treating him like he’s relevant to anything we are looking for as sports fans. If you are going to represent one political party, have someone from the other side on as well just like you both been preaching

    Politics
    Liked the show until they started getting into politics. Not a good look for the guys.
  • Phantomark
    Great Rant in Support of Belichick!
    Well said Sir Charles! Especially considering 12 current NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl Game. You and Ernie are the best!

    The Best
    I absolutely love this podcast and it is one of my favorites! It’s so much more than sports. It’s serious, laugh out loud funny, and just plain great. Keep ‘em coming guys!

    Simply the Best
    EJ and Juicy Fruit are fantastic interviewer’s. Every show has a gold nuggets comment or factoid. Carry on dynamic duo.

    Charles is #1
    Charles is one of my favorite people in the world. He’s always been honest and open, and you just don’t get that from a lot of media folks. I was 15 minutes away when he played at Auburn and he’s the same person now that he was then. Not a lot of people who’ve accomplished what he has can say that.

    Love Chuck and Ernie so much! The first show of 2022 was amazing and the postOlympic show was THE BEST!!!

    Great combination of serious and funny
    Awesome variety of guests. And just when they get too serious, Chuck, well he’s Chuck.

    OMGoodness! Best Podcast in America!
    WHAT A TREAT! I could not believe it when I listen to The Steam Room the first time—which was only about two or three months ago. I don’t even remember how it fell into my lap. No one told me. But it is so darn FUN! Ernie and Charles together! WOW! They balance each other. And Thank You Ernie for always getting Charles’s sense of humor. Charles is from “the other side” of everywhere! He is brilliant! But more than that, he is genuine and honest, and a wonderful human being. Just listen to him and you’ll see his good heart! I only hope to meet him one day—at the Celebrity Golf Tourney in Lake Tahoe. That’s my only chance. And it better happen soon—I’m pushing 80! Better than pushing daisies! In my books: Best Podcast in America!

    The show is great until you let dr Fauci come and spread his lying rhetoric

    Funny Podcast
    Great duo!

    Gotta love Chuck
    Not even a basketball fan but I do whatever I can to consume Charles Barkley’s take on something. It’s good to hear someone who is not afraid to be honest in today’s society.

    Same racist propaganda as the nba
    Within 5 minutes of the first episode I tried, they immediately talk about their criminal martyr Floyd. I’m so sick of hearing how our skin color is different. Instead of a real narrative like the 1% vs the 99%, the nba as well as mainstream media use skin color as the factor to divide and segment the country. This division makes us easier to control and manipulate. Every nba game I watch, I’m remind of skin color thanks to their “message.” I can’t take it on my podcasts too

    Chuck the GOAT
    I can listen to Chuck everyday in my life! This is by far the only podcast I don’t skip through !
  • AnnieRoonie2021
    Love this podcast!
    I can’t thank Ernie and Chuck enough for providing us with a weekly dose of entertainment and awareness. It’s been the highlight of my week during the pandemic. I’m so grateful to you both for giving me something to look forward to during these trying times. Looking forward to season 2. 4/24/21–Update—I can’t believe you played my message on the 4/16/21 episode. Speechless...Thank you!!! #witandwisdom

    Ernie stop cutting Barkley off
    Podcast is great but Ernie talks too much, stop cutting Chuck off when he tries to speak. No offense I truly enjoy Charles’s takes. Stop censoring the profanity as well.

    I love you guys. Continue doing great things together.

    Entertaining
    This podcast is fabulous. I enjoy the variety of guests and topics discussed. Charles, I just listened to your analysis at the half of the Houston vs Baylor final four game and I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been waiting and hoping for a Gonzaga vs Baylor national championship game. Definitely the two best teams. Those two should determine who is the champion!
  • Stephen Jack Barnes
    Amazing except for TK
    Everything about the pod is amazing but TK kills the vibe every time. I skip through TK segments every time because those segments are never entertaining. I understand that he is important to the development of Inside the NBA but he is not interesting at all.

    15+ years
    Been a watcher of Inside the NBA since high school, 15+ years ago, and now I get to add to that journey with the Steam Room. I don't ever miss an episode, just as I don't Inside. These guys bring happiness, humor, levity and thoughtfulness to my days. So happy this podcast is a thing because Thursday nights isn't enough!!!!

    Charles and Ernie
    Two men I’ve loved to listen to for many, many years on TV and now on this podcast. Both are insightful, honest, funny. I grew up watching Charles, and man! he was one-of-a-kind player—so powerful, especially as a rebounder. I love that his personality is the same off the court as it was on the court. Great podcast!
  • sillybilly31
    Great Listen!
    I just recently came upon this podcast & after enjoying these guys on TNT for so long I knew i had to tune in. These guys just shoot the sh** & you gotta love it!
  • J. Wellington Brown
    A special, special podcast
    Ernie and Chuck’s humility , mutual respect, and basic decency is apparent from the jump. Listening to this show is a ray of sunshine in the day!

    Review
    Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson have such a good chemistry and there are fun to listen to.
  • nate the great 23
    Really disappointed
    Disappointed on how political the show has become lately. Love these two guys but I don’t care about their political opinions.
  • Ryan Burnham
    Way too much politics
    I don’t understand all the wokeness. I turn it on hoping to be entertained by Chuck and Ernie and instead I’m being lectured about my white privilege and how black people are oppressed in the United States, etc. I’ll find something else to listen to.
  • Stus Army
    Love the show
    Charles and Ernie are two of the best.
  • ChrisC1364123
    Awesome
    Big fan of Duncan, looking forward to what’s to come!

    Refrain from Politics
    This show would be vastly improved by the removal of any political discussions. The non-political elements of this show are wonderful, such as the tribute episode for John Thompson. However, interviewing CNN hosts and other such figures makes large chunks of this show unlistenable. This show should not be for regurgitating boilerplate leftist media bile, but a distraction from the chaos of politics.
