This dude remembered what he had for breakfast lunch and dinner 30 years ago
+Daniel Glymph
Of course. Mozart remembered every song he heard. Charles remembers every meal he ate.
+imobeus1 Dead
hahaha..there must of been a pretty gal who gave him that breakfast, lunch and dinner.
PBM no he just probably has a good memory jeez
Daniel Glymph Do you remember what you ate Last Week?
Bensinger, "you can't justify that."
Barkley, "yes you can... you hungry."
Wtf
Lolololol
If you think about it you got 700 likes for writing closed captions
Ethan Hart thank you
Diego Villaneda Both of you can go fuck yourselves
He isn't lying tho. A lot of times practices happen through the beginning and middle of dinner time. So by the time you get in their the food is either cold or gone so you gotta either go out to eat or order something. And the cheapest things are pizza or fast food which happens to be the most unhealthy things
Never underestimate Chuck's ability to get fat. Vanilla shake for breakfast? Fuck me
Pause
have u been to America?
#HesoMeloJelloFelloFavoritecoloryellow Fuck you mean KEKEKEKEKEKKE
Josh Lee a Starbucks frappuccino is basically a vanilla shake
HARD

+Rob S "sofa he remembers" hahahaha your a dumbass
spell check did that , and I'm the dumbass lol, regardless fuck boy, i spell how i want to on youtube
honestly what does it matter is Charles Barkley was a little on the heavy side, he was one of the best PF ever!! he was 6"5 ballin up on 7 foot dudes
Not only that but his size was necessary to be the rebounder he was at 6'4
lol..as of they knew that charles would ended up being a legend..he was a rookie back then
@Brian Dawkins Nah he was 6'5 (without sneakers on) in the NBA for sure. At least he was for 10 of his 16 years in the NBA. Of course people shrink in height when they get older. Also, he is literally the same height as Jordan as they always looked eye to eye, forehead to forehead, etc. The only difference really was that Chuck is on the heavy-set side, whereas Jordan was like a Bird (he only ate enough to get by to his own admission). Also, Jordan's genuine height while at NC was at 6'5 which came from his physical before he entered his last season at NC. I read that in one of the two self-autobiographies I own that Jordan wrote. Also, I've read in Chuck's self-autobiography where he admits that he was listed at 6'6 in the NBA but he felt closer to 6'4 (current opinion since he's middle-aged and sensible people generally have an idea of what happens to our selves as we age). Furthermore, he only really checked that out a few times in his life. Once during the summer before his junior year in high school where he had his growth spurt from 5'9 to 6'4 bare-feet. And a few more times while he was at Auburn in which he peaked at 6'5 bare-feet just before he left to enter the NBA draft in 1984. I've got a couple of beat up basketball sneakers from that time-frame laying around somewhere and they added 1 to 1.5 inches in height when I put them on. I'm sure they did the same for other basketball players in the NBA because they are generally measured with shoes on, not off. With all things considered, yeah I'd say Chuck is 6'3 to 6'4 bare-foot at this moment in time for sure. However, he was definitely 6'5 bare-foot for sure when he was in his twenties. I don't care if you agree with me or not because I'm just going off of what I've read. However, you can't deny that Chuck was a force to be reckoned with on the court. He held the rebounding title during his NBA career and he was the shortest player to do it. At least in accordance to information provided by the NBA itself, and from Chuck's personal testimony in his autobiography. The only other person who could have accomplished that feat at that "short" size and "fat" stature would have been fellow Power-Forward/Center Gus Johnson from the ABA and early NBA days. Gus was literally described as a 6'6 Bill Russell (Bill Russell Was a genuine bare-foot 6'10 Center that's probably closer to 6'7 or 6'6 now given his old age). This means Gus was for sure a hell of a rebounder and overall great defender (despite the obvious disadvantage of being 2-3 inches shorter than the average Power-Forward in the pro/semi-pro scene at the time) because that was pretty much what Bill Russell was. The only difference between them being the 60's and 70's for Gus as opposed to the 80's and 90's for Chuck. Any ways, I hope you found this information useful.
CaptainNegro117 chuck is 6'6
CaptainNegro117 thank u. I've been trying to tell everybody the same thing.
its 2016 and people still dont want to be drafted by the sixers

Best quote of my lifetime: “You can’t justify 160 pizzas”....... - “Yes you can, you hungry”. 3:01
Ahh so this is what Zion was trying to do...
Hyyprr That’s Tuff
He was planning for the Knicks
@@nbk2164 Thank God he missed that dumpster fire.
@@mvpandrew93 say what 🤨
@@mvpandrew93 4th seed
I can't remember what I wore yesterday and he remembered all the food he ate prior to the draft...
jon Q important moment in someone's life
hello
jon Q That sounds like what if Big Smoke was a nba player the difference is that big smoke could have ate all that food he mentioned in less thsn 30 seconds
Dej’a vu
jon Q you really can't remember what you wore yesterday?
Some people are just .. slower than others, I guess.
“Washed it down with a vanilla shake” lmfao gets me everytime
That Moses Malone story was great.
"yes you can! you are hungry"!
"Sure you can!"
I want a number 9, a number 9 large...
Monoka's Pet a number 6 with extra dip
Samuel Stewart 2 number 45s, one with cheese
Larry McLean and a large soda
You know how I feel about cold food
These interviews are the best because everyone is so honest with Graham
+Kevin Gardner Thanks, Kevin!
Nice Try Graham...
Charles is literally like that all the time
They really trust him. He has the best interviews I've seen in a long time.
Barkley is honest with everyone.
Only Charles Barkley would remember EXACTLY what he ate 30 years ago! =P
Speaking of 76ers.. You should interview Iverson.
i have been asking for that for a long fuken time
He cant speak properly. I mean, you know. I mean, you know.
+Samuel Birku ...lol yeah then he should ask him like 5 questions about practice
+Francis Rodrick well hes interviewed rodman so maybe he can handel AI
In the interview he'll talk about practice
I am not even joking. I could sit and listen to chuck list food for hours.he is just so awesome. ;D
Has anyone ever noticed how much Charles Barkley says "to be honest with you"?
Dude Iceberg he’s a wise southern man
To be honest with you, I didn't notice lol
300 lbs and jumps like he does is amazing
I know it's crazy
And runs full court beating other people to it too even guards. Shaq did it but that's just because guards were afraid to die. Lol
Internet Crusader best comment
@@BigRed2 yes you can, but alot of it will be water weight from all the extra carbohydrates in your body
Yes but you pay for it later on in life. That's why they are so concern with Zion. Your knees are nothing to play with.All that jumping and running will make you pay once you get older.
Chuck is always honest with you
"you're fat and you're lazy" - haha moses malone!
Moses Malone never gets talked about as all-time greats do. He's right up there with Wilt, Bill, Kareem, Walton, Shaq. Love this quote by Big Mo: "On the playgrounds in St. Petersburg, Florida i learned THE truth about basketball. If you ain't GOT the ball you can't SHOOT the ball."
Only Charles can remember exactly what he ate 30+ years ago 😂

Blank stare.
Sir Charles, one of the most underrated players of all time
The great Moses Malone. Helping another become great once again. Thank you Moses.
Charles is one of the most real dudes out there. He is so entertaining, he is also one that when he talks, he speaks the truth. Nothing but respect for him.
As a Philly boy, I'm glad the 76ers still drafted Sir Charles. I love the guy so much, professionally and personally. One of the greatest guys you could ever meet.
Sometimes we need brutally honest people like Moses Malone. Imagine going down from 280 plus pounds to 250, that’s incredible!!
Moses Malone really knew what he was doing. Having Barkley keep losing weight until he found the weight where he had the most energy was brilliant.
You do a great job of letting the person you are interviewing speak and express their thoughts completely before moving on to the next subject. Good interview!
I bet Chuck got hungry while talking about this story.
The Bringer of Rain shit I got hungry when he mentioned all that food
I love these stories. Chuck is the man. Thank you for giving such a great interview. 🙌
I think that the reason Barkley remembers what he ate so many years ago, is due to the significance of the draft. When very important things happen in your life, it's easy to remember every detail.
My roommate freshmen year in college was the new point guard. He ordered a pizza three or four times a week late at night during the season. I joined him and gained 20 pounds. He gained nothing. I was just a lazy student.
Barkley’s story is exactly the experience this guy went thru.
These interviews are amazing because they are meticulously researched. All interviewers should aspire to this level of preparation.
charles "to tell you the truth" barkley
Charles "to be honest with you" Barkley
Savage. Ben Simmons needs to do this shit.
Hahaha so true
The Lakers need Ben Simmons.
tbh Ben Simmons was overhyped
I think he's happy where he's at with Joel lol how things have changed.
Thanks so much for doing this interview Graham! This was great to watch, Chuck is one of my favourite players :)
Keep doing what you're doing man, it's really great, can't wait for the next interview! Any clues as to who it will be? ;)
graham is one of the best interviewers! he actually does his research lol
Charles is so honest (and super funny). So refreshing to hear.
love your interviews brother keep it up
"You can't justify that"
"Yes you can, you hungry"
I like your interviews
Besinger's always putting out the best interviews
I've always loved this guy. When I was ten I got my first jersey. It was Barkley's 34 with suns. I still have it, in all its faded glory.
I just love barkley talk, love his honesty and personality
Charles is such a down to earth dude.
Moses malone. Dang!! What a gem he was.
great interviews
imagine the amount of food that has gone into this guys mouth over the span of his life
+mj walker of what?
+Luis Ramirez planets
I think I got him beat and I'm less than half his age.
Enough to save the entire continent of Africa from hunger
It could end world hunger!
he had "Bake PotaTuh"
Central Alabama dialect of Southern English.
Nobody want to be on the sixers, even now. Lol!
+Matthew Eeuwes thats cold blooded lool

Eeuzzy still more championships than half the league 😘
I got drafted by the sixers in nba 2k16
Finished my Rockies season and left right away
Most people either love Charles or hate him, very few are neutral. I respect that he has always spoken his mind, putting honesty before public perception or political correctness. That takes courage.
He ate something in 1984 and remembers that. I cant remember what I did this morning
crazy to hear stories like this
One of the few times I've seen Graham laugh during the interview
My favorite player of all time! Charles you where the man in Philly! Only time I went to Spectrum! Round mound of rebound!!!!!
Sounds like a regular day chuck 😂
I can relate to Charles Barkley as far as eating
boredstudent all these vids I am in awe but I am right with him on the eating part no sweat.
I used to eat extra large pizzas in one night by myself with cookie pies
@@chrispy9736 same
I love Charles Barkley more than I love any “more accomplished” player.
barkley and tyson are 2 people that always keep it real.
“You were down to 272.”
“Im actually down to around *270* to be honest with you.”
Barkley really wanted credit for that afternoon pee and poop release.
He got it..5 years 2Million..
He also said he was "closer to 300, 302 pounds" when Graham was trying to be generous and paint his fat weight at 284. Charles is honest all around
@@Eyoballin It’s just funny that’s he’s correcting him over two pounds.
Men’s weight can easily fluctuate +/- 5 lbs depending on when you weigh yourself. Like I pointed out, he’s really wanting to make sure everyone knows he weighed 270 and not 272…..those two pounds couldve easily been the result of taking an afternoon dump.
Most of these comments and replies are absolutely wild. Gotta love the internet.😮💨
the story about moses and his mentorship been repeated 100s different interviews but never gets old. u can tell how personal Moses was to him.
Legend says that is still his diet
There is a very small group of individuals on the planet that would be so awesome and entertaining to be around literally every day. The Chuckster is one of those people. I envy teammates of his through the years that got to train, practice, horse around, eat with, hang out with, play jokes, trash talk and have serious discussions with Chuck nearly every damn day for years on end. Something entertaining is ALWAYS gonna come outta his mouth.....or even just his mannerisms. I tell ya as a Jazz fan since 83' I hardly paid attention to Chuck at all till the mid 90's and only as an opponent. I never appreciated his talents as every second of the game I just wanted Malone to embarrass him on offense and defense (normally did too in those days). But way later in years down the road with youtube I've finally seen a LOT of clips of Chuckster in his prime and he is truly unique and explosive in his abilities. And all I gotta say is if I really had the choice to watch every game of a season with either a Chuckster or Mailman during the 5 years of their prime I would no doubt choose Barkley. Entertaining as hell to watch what he could do on the court as well as off the court. But the long haul of 15 -20 years I definitely got the better deal with Malone playing at a sustained dominant level.
"You can't justify that"......"Yes you can, you're HUNGRY !"😂🤣😋🍕🍕😋🤣😂🍕😋🤣😂🍕😋🤣😂🍕

charles barkley was an incredible athlete even for someone on the heavier side , just a shame he was a team mate short on all of his teams
LOL,how Charles can say all that stuff about his meals while keeping a straight face is beyond me

Basketball progrum. Chuck you're the greatest.
The beginning was so savage
75 G's was alot of $ back in the early 80's
Zion tried this as well. He still got drafted by the pels.
The interviewer funny af. the way he strarted laughing when Barkley said he was 302.
This was HILARIOUS LOL
The true goat
That food sounded so damn good...damn I'm hungry
First time I see Graham throw out a real good laugh.
He’s my favorite!
Only chuck could justify ordering pizza 160 times in 200 days
76ers is now supporting a League of Legends team. Will they carry over the curse?
I love this guy.
8/5/20: I absolutely Love Charles Barkley, funniest athlete e-vah!!!
2x large pizza every day... I understand Charles... I love pizza and cold beer, i'am fat too xD
