Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson had an interesting segment recently on their podcast The Steam Room. Tim Kiely, the podcast’s executive producer, joined the duo for this segment. The focus was understandably mostly on Barkley. The concept of the segment revolved around how actor Chris Evans faired against Barkley’s list of man-crushes. While doing so, Barkley named his pick for the sexist man alive.

For the year 2022, People’s magazine named actor Chris Evans as the Sexiest Man Alive. With this in mind, Kiely presented him with a list of names that Barkley has man crushes over. One after the other, names from the list were presented to Barkley. Barkley’s task was simple. He had to choose between the names and the crowned champion Chris Evans.
