"Once she go Shaq she'll never go back": Shaquille O'Neal asks Funny Marco to 'hook' him up with Bobbi Althoff

Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal loves to be challenged in different ways, not just in basketball. On "The Big Podcast with Shaq," Shaq took the help of YouTuber Funny Marco to ask podcaster Bobbi Althoff out on a date.

Marco was surprised but O'Neal pushed the idea of himself going on a date with the podcaster.

​

"Bobbi," Shaq said. "You hook me up with Bobbi. Once she go Shaq, she'll never go back.

This led to O'Neal giving Althoff a call while they were doing the show. With confidence, the three-time Finals MVP asked her out to go to the movies.

"Hi Bobbi. I'm sitting here with Funny Marco and he told me to ask you on a date. So, can I take you to the movies?"

The sequence started at the 20:38 mark.

​

O'Neal got Althoff to say yes.

Back in September 2023, he was a guest on Althoff's show, "The Really Good Podcast." The episode has close to two million views on YouTube.

YouTuber Funny Marco clowns Shaquille O'Neal's Ice Spice FaceTime flex

During the episode, Funny Marco and Shaquille O'Neal hyped each other up on who to call. O'Neal had the idea to call rapper Ice Spice and rang her up on FaceTime.

The exchange, however, was quick. O'Neal told the rapper that he was doing a podcast with Marco but quickly said goodbye without showing his guest if it was the rapper he was talking to.

Marco didn't believe that O'Neal had a call with the rapper, as he didn't show it to him.

​

"That was not Ice Spice, that's somebody's auntie," Funny Marco said.

The call between O'Neal and Ice Spice started at the 36:43 mark.

The entire episode was full of laughs, as Funny Marco even challenged O'Neal to call the most famous person he knew. Shaq took advantage of it and called his friend and co-worker, Charles Barkley.

​

Barkley enjoyed the joke as he laughed before hanging up.
