Irrespective of whether someone is a basketball fan or not, Shaquille O’Neal is a name that resonates with almost anyone. The NBA legend had one of the best careers in the league and was a bag full of entertainment.

Moreover, he has numerous achievements off the basketball court. He is an established analyst on Inside the NBA, a businessman, and a popular podcaster. On the latest episode of Shaq’s podcast, eminent Hollywood actor Adam Sandler dropped by.

Shaq, Spice, Nichelle, and Sandler talked about a mix of topics ranging from Sandler’s new movie venture and his friendship with O’Neal. Interestingly enough, Spice asked Shaq and Nichelle a very interesting question. He said, “Would ya’ll ever do this? You get some fast food and try to act like you made it?”

O’Neal immediately jumped onto the topic and he talked about how this was his favorite move to impress his love interests while back in college.

Shaq said, “I used to do that all the time. That was my move in college. I called my boy Gino’s. Get me a little steak and I’ll pull off the thing. Put it back in the pan and be like, ‘Hey, how do you like it?'”

Despite having major shares in companies like Five Guys and Papa John’s, the former Los Angeles Lakers star once had to work in McDonald’s. 

Although Shaq might have all the riches in the world, he never had it easy. He was raised in a troubling environment with his parents, giving it their all to ensure O’Neal has a good upbringing.

As a youngster, Shaq’s father instructed him to either babysit or work for a day. The 4 time NBA champion chose the latter and decided to join McDonald’s.

However, he quit just after one day as he was caught stealing fries! Shaq said, “I went to work one day, and I was like, I quit. That’s why I respect the people that have real jobs because that is hard work. You know why I quit? Because I got caught stealing fries.”
