In the latest episode of the Steam Room podcast, Barkley, alongside Ernie Johnson, covered the All-Star weekend, Travis Kelce, Aaron Rodgers ‘Darkness Retreat’, and more. However, they started off the episode by discussing the 11x All-Star’s 60th birthday. While doing so, Barkley gave a special shout out to his daughter, Christiana Barkley, only to take an uncalled shot at her. He said, “Shoutout to my daughter; all I wanted to do was spend the day with my grandson, and she let me have the little man, and it was a perfect day. “?
After thanking her daughter for letting him spend time with his grandson, Barkley harped on her recent pregnancy and left a hilarious yet insensitive remark.
