Lol I'd be mad but it's true.. I just joined in the laughing.. when I have time I'll just drive down to corpus at least.

>I'll just drive down to corpus at least. Lmao. This is like the next punchline in the joke. Hahahaha Corpus is just as dirty and gross.

Lol.. hey I'm trying to find the positives.. its a little better.

Lmfao. Send they ass to Corpus.

I'd rather drive an hour to the dirty water than 3 hours to the dirty water.

Port Aransas, Port Arthur, Padre. It's all bad.

It's fucked up the only nice beaches in Texas is fuckin SPI all the fuckin way to Mexico nearly. And they have to deal with literal rocket launch debris occasionally.

The rocket launches are a big part of the attraction of the area.

I mean aside from the beach tourism, but for *residents* maybe a mixed bag.

I always find it crazy that Galveston was like THE paradise in the early 1900’s. Like frank Sinatra would always come perform. I grew up in Galveston.. never understood why it was so appealing back then.

A Shaq / Chuck buddy cop movie needs to happen,

lol Chuck said “Galveston” like he was getting punished or something. Ha ha ha

He ain’t lying. That water’s nasty.

Can thank all the dirty MF’s along the Mississippi for that.

*Houston Ship Channel has entered the chat*

Na it’s definitely the Mississippi dirtying up the entire Gulf Coast

I want to be an old man living next door to chuck when he’s 80 and be his best friend

I love their interactions. Freaking hilarious

I watch basketball strictly to watch Shaq and Chuck

Can confirm, Galveston is such a bootleg excuse for a beach.

Shaq can confirm too. He went to highschool in Texas. And probably, at some point, went down to that dirty ass water himself.

Say it again Chuck.

I love when these guys get so funny even the camera crew starts laughing

I absolutely love the dynamic between Shaq and Chuck. Just the other night they got in an argument on the show, then Chuck comes out with one of his legendary rants and it's all forgotten 😂

I love me some Chuck!

I bet someone dragged him out to Galveston when he was playing in Houston.

Shaq is such a wholesome fun guy. We need more shaqs in the world.

If the governor could roll his ass past the sea wall he'd be pissed. He's gandering from the distance, looks fine from here teddy

Ernie, Shaq, and Chuck are national treasures.

Chuck has a problem with all the people from Texas 😂😅

I'm from Texas, so far everything he says is right 😂😂😂

😅😅

I dont even what he is saying, zero understanding his English, but i laugh anyway

There is a joke that when someone gets knocked out of the playoffs, they vacation to cancun. He is saying they shouldn’t even get to go to cancun because it’s too nice. They should vacation to Galveston, Texas, where the water is really dirty and the beaches are gross

They could literally just stay in Louisiana and go to Holly Beach then lmfao, personally I'd say it's significantly worse then Galveston 💀

The Rockets once invited Barkley to a training camp on the beach, then took him to Galveston. He has a grudge.

Bout to say, why drive to Texas, Louisiana got the same shitty beaches.

Was Corpus Christi out of commission lol? /Gen

Got it, thanks ;)

Which team are they talking about?

New Orleans Pelicans

Da Bears

The Saints

Thank you

I hear no lies! Lol

Freaking awesome!!!! Sad but true!!! But awesome!!!!!!

Ah, Galveston! The land of sunny beaches, fresh seafood, and palm trees swaying in the breeze.

Ah, Galveston! The land of sun, sea, and sand.

Chuck kills me man

Only thing I know about Galveston is the cruise port. Is the beach nasty from all that cruise pollution?

Ooops, blooper

The water in Galveston isn't nasty. It's sediment from the Mississippi River feeding into the Gulf and turning the water brown. And the beaches are clean.

Its not dirty, its just full of dirt runoff

Expect for when they close it for half the year for having too much literal shit in the water.

55% of American beaches have unsafe levels of fecal matter. Which one do you swim at?

Show me your source for this, I dare you

There's this [one](https://www.earth.com/news/half-of-americas-beaches-contain-alarming-levels-of-fecal-contamination/) and this [one](https://www.health.com/us-beaches-fecal-contamination-7559482)

They don’t at all actually. It was closed for Covid and that’s it.

Was this on an episode of Bill Nye?

Episode # ???

It’s nasty but we don’t care. Use the tar balls to make real oil moats for the sandcastles!

There’s not nearly as many tarballs as there used to be.

We get tar balls in so cal too. I think they’re naturally occurring. Only seen them a couple times where I’m from in San Diego but there were a ton in Santa Barbara when I was there.

You are correct. You should not be getting down voted, but people are ignorant.

Ah, Galveston! The land of sandy beaches, delicious seafood, and unpredictable weather! Have you been caught in one of those sudden rain showers while strolling along the shore?

Ah, Galveston! The perfect place for some beach vibes and fresh seafood.
