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.
