Shane Gillis Tells Shaq He Named His Dog After Him

Shane Gillis stopped by The Big Podcast with Shaq for a quick 40-minute chat while both were in New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend. Early in the conversation, Gillis casually mentioned that his childhood dog was named "Shaq."

"You named your dog Rey?" Shaq asked, confused.

Gillis corrected him: "No, my first dog was named Shaq."

Shaq, still processing, asked what kind of dog it was. Gillis replied, "A black lab."

That got a laugh from Shaq, who joked about whether he should take it as a compliment. "I remember when I first became Shaq, a lady told me she named her dog after me. I was like, 'Should I take that as a compliment?'"

Gillis assured him that it was definitely a compliment. The exchange was just one of many funny moments during the episode, as the two joked about everything from comedy to basketball. Fans of both Gillis and Shaq will enjoy this laid-back, hilarious conversation.
