The dems are just throwing up new smoke on Roberts regarding being Chief Justice. Just a stalling tactic. Chieft Justice is a nice title and all. However, you still just have one vote, and your influence is not any greater on the other justices. Isn't chief justice basically the CEO/Office Manager for the USSC?

Correct.

The only material difference the Chief Justice has is to delegate which justice authors majority opinions when the Chief himself is part of the majority.
