SHAQ EXPLAINS THE REAL STORY BEHIND NOT FACING THE BIG SHOW AT WRESTLEMANIA AND CATCHES A FAN FLIRTING WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND DURING  100th EPISODE  LIVE TAPING OF THE BIG PODCAST WITH SHAQ ON PODCASTONE

LOS ANGELES (April 24, 2017) – Shaquille O’Neal recently celebrated his 100th podcast episode on the PodcastOne network by recording The BIG Podcast with Shaq live, with fans in Atlanta. Shaq was joined by co-host John Kinkade, producer Rob Jenners, and guest and stand-up comic Craig Gass. Shaq shares the dumbest question he gets from fans, talks the NBA, explains why he and Charles Barkley still play the lottery and more. The event drew fans from 5 states, who had the opportunity to play a game of the show’s “Buzzer Beater” with Shaq and ask the Diesel some questions. The episode is available now on PodcastOne.com, the PodcastOne app and iTunes.

Below are some excerpts from the episode:

Shaq on the Real Reason He Didn’t Fight at WrestleMania 33:

O’Neal: “Because they kept playing. First, they said it was me and Big Show. Then, they said it was going to be 3 and 3. Then, they cancelled it so when they cancelled it, I made other arrangements. And then they tried to call back and tried to get it done, and I just said, ‘I’m not going to do it.’ They messed it up.”

Kinkade: “And my theory all along – this is not his commentary – I have a hard time believing that somebody would read a script where he would lose in anything.”

O’Neal: “So you’re saying I didn’t want to lose? It’s for the kids, John. I would have lost for the kids. For the kids.”

Kinkade: “You are competitive.”

Gass: “The man did Kazaam for God’s sake.”

O’Neal: “Exactly, yes. I would have lost.”

Shaq’s Reaction to a Fan Hitting on His Girlfriend:

O’Neal: “Whoa, time out. Are you talking to my woman, at my show? Are you talking to my woman, at my show? Do you want to die?”

Gass: “Sir, you’re about to get murdered at the Shaquille O’Neal podcast.”

O’Neal: “Hold me back, John. I’ll f*!@ing kill you. After the show, me and you outside in the parking lot. What the hell?”

Kinkade: “Tonight, on WSB – the dumbest white man in Atlanta. Footage at 11.”
