51-year-old comedian, Bert Kreischer joined Shaquille O’Neal‘s famous ‘The Big Podcast‘, and ended up funnily threatening one of his famous friends! Kreischer and Shaq’s 55-minute podcast episode was released just a few hours ago, and it had a lot of notable segments. One of which is where Shaq and Kreischer revealed their common habit of taking pool showers in the morning. Well, Kreischer revealed that he was mocked by Tom Segura for his unique ritual, and Shaq decided to send out a warning.
Shaq revealed, “When I work out, my gym is in the back, the pool is cold. It’s like a cold plunge. So I jump in, I don’t wanna get out and then take a shower.” Although this habit of the Los Angeles Lakers legend sounds a bit weird, Kreischer does something similar too. The 51-year-old comedian revealed, “Ice cold pool, get in there, wake up. I got rituals. I swim from one side underneath, underwater, back to my breath holds”. He also added, “Tommy [Segura], he’s made fun of me for taking pool showers my whole life”.
Well, Shaq took it personally, as it was his ritual too. The Big Diesel grabbed the phone from Kreischer and sent a voice note to Segura, “Hey Tom, this is Bert’s twin brother. I take pool showers too. So f****** leave him alone. Or I’ll f****** kill you!”. This was obviously lighthearted as the NBA icon burst out laughing after recording it. The best part was that Shaq had no idea who Segura was when he sent the above voice note.

Shaq’s love for swimming is quite well-known. In fact, most of the mansions he has purchased so far have a huge swimming pool either at the entrance or in the backyard. Notably, one of them also has a brilliant man-made water body for which Shaq spent a hefty amount.
Shaquille O’Neal’s $500k man-made pool at his Florida mansion
Famous Youtuber ‘Ed The Pond Guy’ was hired to create a man-made pond in the backyard of Shaquille O’Neal’s Florida mansion. The water body is 130 feet long and 110 feet wide and it is described as an ‘eco-system recreation pond’. This was the second largest man-made pool ‘Ed The Pond Guy’ has built and Shaq absolutely loved all the features in it. Notably, the architect crew shipped a mega-sized koi fish from Japan for the Lakers legend and also named it ‘Shakoi O’Neal’, which cracked him up.

The project, surrounded by water, also included a chipping green and two putting greens which impressed Shaq. However, the highlight was how beautifully the famous YouTuber changed an unused area into an amusing feature. Shaq spent a whooping amount of $500,000 for this creative pool, which shows us how much Shaq loves to indulge in water activities. No wonder he wanted to threaten Tom Segura!
