We welcome you to the steam room Ernie Johnson and Charles

Parkley the podcast which is sponsored by tractorractor Supply Company and it's always a pleasure to be hanging out with the Chuckster.

Especially in times like this where you got a lot to talk about man.

We saw the Milwaukee Bucks refuse to take the court

over the shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Other teams followed suit, games postponed.

As we speak right now, Chuckster, it looks like play will resume,

that the season is not over. But man, man last 24 hours or something been been pretty wild.

Yeah Ernie hey first of all, it's unprecedented times.

You know, as a former player, I'm proud of those guys

for making a stand.

You know, it takes courage, it takes guts, you know, because they knew, I mean, it was going to be a big deal. And I want to applaud, you know, some of the baseball teams and some of the soccer teams,

counseling their game. So it was a great day to be in sports yesterday.

Like I said, I'm proud of the guys but my biggest concern was I told them I said hey

What's your game plan? Are we gonna finish the season? I'm gonna be where I'm a ride or die with you guys but you got to have a game plan.

I said, you know, the NBA has bent over backwards to let you guys speak,

what you want to talk about every day.

It has nothing to do with T&T or ESPN.

I say, the NBA is like, you know, it's a business.

But Adam Silver has been great for the players.

And I understand, I mean, it's so much craziness going on out here,

and it's stressful.

And you factor in these guys aren't around their families.
