-How is the golf game?
Because I heard -- well, I heard that you golf.
-You're going to start already.
-No, no, no, no. [ Laughter ]
No, I'm hoping it's a good ending.
-I can beat you.
[ Audience ohs ]
-What?
-Listen, do I call you a talk-show host, or a comedian?
-Uh, talk-show host.
-Well a talk-show host can't beat me.
[ Laughter ]
-They call me a comedian.
-A comedian can't beat me either.
[ Laughter ]
I'm never -- I'm never gonna lose all my skills.
-Because I've never -- I've never --
I've never played with you. I never --
-That's because you're ducking me.
-I'm actually not that good, so I'm really worried.
-That's why you're ducking me.
-I know, yeah.
But if I really focused, I think maybe I can beat you.
-No, no, no.
I'm never going to be as bad to lose to a talk-show comedian.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, no. -Really?
-Hey, listen, I'm a has-been, but I ain't never gonna
lose all my skills that I can lose to you, Jimmy.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, we should do it.
Maybe we'll do like three holes, or something like that.
-I mean, you went to Olive Garden.
Least you can go play golf with a brother.
[ Laughter, cheers, and applause ]
Hey.
There's nowhere to go but up.
-That's right, that's right.
Oh, you know what I'm excited to see you on?
"Shark Tank" -- I heard you're gonna be a guest shark.
-One of the coolest experiences of my life.
-I love "Shark Tank."
-I love it too.
Good friend of mine, Mark Cuban, asked me to be on it.
Everybody was wonderful -- Mr. Wonderful, Lori, Barbara.
-Did you -- oh, you can't say it, because it doesn't air yet.
But is it gonna be good?
-Daymond -- I don't want to forget Daymond.
I bought three products.
-You did? -I did.
-Wow. -Yeah.
-And? And? -I did.
Well, we're just getting started.
We're doing our due diligence right now.
-Yeah.
-We've got to make sure people weren't lying.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
So it was one of -- I love the show.
-Me too. I have thousands of ideas.
I have tons. [ Laughter ]
-You know, why don't you come on and be a guest shark?
-Maybe I should come on and try to sell you something.
[ Laughter ]
I might be better at that.
-I'll tell you what, it was really -- I really loved it.
Everybody on the show was great.
-Yeah.
-But I would do it again in a heartbeat.
But I bought three products.
You've got to watch to find out what they are.
I'm not allowed to say.
But I bought three products, and I'm really excited.
-Okay, good. All right.
Next time you come back, you can talk about it, and then we --
-Well, no, listen, Jimmy, let's talk about it.
If any of these products hit, I'm never coming back.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-At least he's honest.
-No. No, seriously.
-At least he's honest.
-If any of these products hit, you never --
-I'm never gonna see you again.
-I'm going to quit TNT and everything.
[ Laughter ]
Seriously, if any of these products hit, I'm gone.
-You're living on a boat.
-Yeah, I'm living on a boat somewhere.
I'm going to be playing golf more than twice a day.
-Yeah, exactly, yeah.
-I'm going to be living the dream.
-Tell me some of what you're doing for Alabama.
-You know, I got a couple of things going.
I got an Alabama futures farm fund.
I partner with five guys, and we bring businesses to Alabama,
or helping businesses that are in Alabama.
I'm really excited about that,
but there's two things I'm really excited about.
I gave black women $1 million to do start-ups.
But it's got to be I.T.
I told them no restaurants and no hair salons.
[ Laughter ]
-You have enough of those.
-We've got enough of those. -Yeah.
-So the women have been amazing, but it has to be in I.T.
But then I started this thing with young black kids.
I want them to learn to be
carpenters, electricians, and plumbers.
Because all these black kids
think they're gonna play in the NBA.
They're not going to play in the NBA, but they can be --
There's nothing wrong with being a great carpenter,
plumber, electrician, so that's what I've been doing all summer.
So I'm excited.
-That's pretty cool that you're doing that.
I love that you're giving back.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-To Alabama.
Let's talk about the NBA.
Let's talk about TNT.
Let's talk about the show.
What a gang of cool people that you love so much.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, let me get this out the way
because I know everybody wants to ask me two questions.
Yeah, the Warriors probably going to win again.
And LeBron is great,
but the Lakers are not gonna be any good.
Okay, now what else? [ Laughter ]
Those are two questions I'm asked a hundred times a day.
Who's gonna win the championship?
Probably the Golden State Warriors.
How good are the Lakers gonna be?
LeBron is an amazing basketball player, an amazing man,
but the Lakers are not gonna be any good.
Okay, that's the only two questions I'm asked every day.
-I won't want to ask that question.
I want to ask, do you and Shaq really hate each other?
[ Laughter ]
Well, no, it's just a tricky relationship.
-It's not tricky. I hate him. [ Laughter ]
It's not tricky at all.
-Oh, my gosh.
How would you describe him?
-He's a bully. -Oh, come on.
-He's a bully. -He is not.
-He thinks because he's big.
He's a big old Shrek look-alike.
[ Laughter ]
He thinks -- and he's so big
he thinks he can just talk down to people.
I mean, because, you know,
we try to have a simple basketball conversation.
And then like, "Well, you ain't won no championship."
I'm like, "We can still have a basketball conversation, Shrek."
[ Laughter ]
I do -- Jimmy, I'm faking it.
If they didn't pay me, I wouldn't work with the goof.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my gosh.
Well, we have a video question from a fan of yours.
-Okay.
-I think he has a question for you,
and I think his name is Shaquille.
Can we run the video?
-Charles Barkley, a source close to me tells me
you don't wear underwear when you arrive on TV.
How come you don't wear drawers?
[ Laughter ]
-You don't wear underwear?
-Jimmy, about 10 years ago --
[ Laughter ]
-Keep talking.
-About 10 years ago,
I found that underwear, drawers --
in the South, we call them drawers.
I thought they were unnecessary for space in the house.
So I got all my drawers together and had a big old bonfire.
So, I've been 10 years without underwear,
and I feel good about it, Jimmy.
-Oh, my God. [ Laughter ]
We got to go to commercial. Zoom in the camera.
Our thanks to Charles Barkley.
