The Big Podcast With Shaq

Shaq has finally spoken about the tragic passing of his brother and lifelong friend Kobe Bryant, and his beautiful 13-year-old daughter Gianna. It's heart breaking to hear the big man speak about his friendship with Kobe and their incredible career together in Los Angeles. We also revisit the Shaq-Kobe interview from 2015 that went viral and made worldwide headlines... it's pure Kobe and really amazing to hear. It's a tough week, but we do our best to honor the legacy of Kobe Bryant.

Shaquille O'Neal is celebrating a College Football National Championship for his LSU Tigers, and somehow finds a way to take up for Odell Beckham Jr. after he got into some trouble on the field and in the locker room after the game. Shaq also predicts that the charges against him for slapping a cop will be dropped, which they were by Saturday afternoon. Shaq and John also get into it when Shaq tries to say the Houston Astros were scouting, not cheating, and athletes always look for an advantage in every sport. We also tackle some insane stories - from Gwyneth Paltrow's strange new candle to the Texas Testicle Festival - and venture into sword fighting and firing squads in Detective Shaq. Of course we get Borderline and we get a couple of Shaqcast listeners to play the Pyramid... and of course Kincade's contestant fails him hilariously.

Shaq is back, fresh off his visit to Jimmy Fallon and the Tonight Show, and he recounts some of the funnier and more viral moments from the show. That leads to an NBA debate about the match-up of Shaq and Kobe versus LeBron and Anthony Davis, and the viral controversy surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers and the "thug" comments about the players. Shaq also recounts the woman who fell in the street of New York and what he did to come to her aid. Plus the big man evaluates his Cowboys hiring Mike McCarthy, Shaq's reason for skipping the National Championship game, and a full breakdown of the Kevin Durant vs Kendrick Perkins Twitter beef. We praise Trae Young for his amazing gesture in Atlanta, we talk a little Australia, and try to figure out why Hollywood hates Ricky Gervais. There is also a VERY heated debate about Harry and Meghan leaving the royal family that has the entire show at odds. Of course we get Borderline and we play a round of "Truth or Sheee."
