Shaquille O?Neal isn?t someone who shies away from sharing his life experiences, good or bad. He gives away little nuggets of information every now and then. He is also one of the most hilarious people around the NBA. And his podcast, ?The Big Podcast with SHAQ? never ceases to disappoint.?

In the podcast, Shaquille O?Neal, Nischelle Turner, and former NFL player Spice Adams discuss sports, music, and everything that is trending. And in the latest episode ?The Big Teeth Knocker?, O?Neal talked about Jokic?s game 2 ejection, Jordan Poole, Kyrie?s comments about Boston fans, etc.?

But in one particular moment when the Lakers legend shared some information about his wedding, shocked Spice Adams. Spice was telling that just because of the 20 people that didn?t attend his wedding, thousands of dollars spent on food, drinks, etc were a waste. And Nischelle pointed out that this wouldn?t be a concern for Shaq as he had spent $300,000 just for his wedding photos.?

Shaq replied, ?That?s what you do. You protect, you provide, and you love. When mamma says she wants to get crazy stuff, you pay for it?. A stunned Spice Adams was gasping for air and can only reply ?That?s a lot of love right there?. And Nischelle, unable to control her laughter said that they need a break because someone needs to go.
