Jimmy: SHAQ, IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU LOOK WELL. THANK YOU, HOW ARE YOU? Jimmy: I'M FINE, THANK YOU. Give up for the band. THAT SOUNDED GREAT BACK. AND THEY WERE PLAYING THE LAST SONG, MY WHITE MAN CLASSIC STARTED KICKING. I TOLD MYSELF, COME WITH ME. ♪ I LOVE ROCK 'N ROLL ♪ PUT ANOTHER PENNY IN THE JUKEBOX BABY ♪ ♪ I LOVE ROCK 'N ROLL ♪ PUT ANOTHER PENNY IN THE JUKEBOX BABY ♪ ♪ I LOVE ROCK 'N ROLL ♪ Jimmy: LITTLE Knew. WE ALL KNOW YOU CAN RAP. WHO KNEW THAT YOU ALSO KNEW JOAN JETT. ♪ TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS Jimmy: OH, YOU LIKE THAT TOO. ♪ EAT, EAT, EAT CHAMELEON ♪ ♪ I SEE YOUR TRUE COLORS Jimmy: WOW. ♪ IT'S A MAN DINING ROOM Jimmy: HALL AND OATES AND EVERYTHING.

YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT RECORDING A COMPLETE ALBUM, HITS FROM THE 80S. WHITE BOY CLASSICS. Jimmy: THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN, YOU REPRESENTED ME AS THE PRESENTER OF THE SHOW WHEN MY SON WAS HAVE HIS SURGERY. HOW IS YOUR SON BY THE WAY, IS HE GOOD? Jimmy: HOW IS YOUR SON? DID HE ALSO HAVE HEART OPERATION? MY SON IS EXCELLENT. Jimmy: GREAT. DURING THAT TIME IT WAS VERY TRAUMATIC. Jimmy: YES. ON THE ROAD TO THE SURGERY I WAS VERY NERVOUS. SO I HAD TO INVENT SOMETHING. THIS IS A STORY I MADE UP, BECAUSE I WAS SHEMBLING AND SHEMBLING.

I SAID HEY, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO TO SURGERY. A BEAUTIFUL NURSE IS GOING TO COME IN, HER NAME IS ANNA STESIA. WHO IS ANNA STESIA? YOU WON'T REMEMBER IT, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD. Jimmy: ARE YOU PLAYING THIS SEASON? YES. Jimmy: THAT'S GREAT. I'M VERY GLAD TO HEAR THAT. AND HIS SON GOT SOMETHING FROM HIM, ANOTHER PROCEDURE WAS DONE. HE GOT A TATTOO ON HIS CALF. YES. Jimmy: FROM YOU. FROM HIS FATHER from him. NOW THIS, HOW OLD IS YOUR SON? 19. Jimmy: DID I COME TO YOU AND TELL YOU I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS?

OR DID HE JUST DO IT AND TELL YOU? MY CHILDREN, WHEN THEY ARE 18 YEARS OLD, I GIVE THEM A BAG, $200 AND I TELL THEM IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET THEM. He is A MAN, AN ADULT, A GREAT CHILD. IT NEVER GIVES ME ANY PROBLEM. Jimmy: THIS IS A PHOTO THAT IT IS BASED ON. THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST GAMES, RIGHT? YES, IT WAS. Jimmy: GAME SEVEN, 2000, AGAINST PORTLAND. THEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD. Jimmy: Okay. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE COULD SPEAK. I'm downstairs eating my food. AND SHE COMES DOWN AND TELLS ME "DAD WON." THAT'S THE FIRST THING HE SAID TO ME: CAN YOU TALK?

So we get in the game, we go down and we start coming back, and Kobe throws me the big one from the line. I WON, BABY. Jimmy: I HAVE THE WRONG PICTURE. YOU WERE POINTING AT YOUR SON HERE. YES, YES. Jimmy: WHY WAS HIS SON IN THE SEATS BLEDING FROM THE NOSE? BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE FLOOR SEATS. Jimmy: WHO WILL BE BETTER THIS YEAR, THE LAKERS OR THE CLIPPERS? Jimmy: WHAT DO YOU THINK? LISTEN. I HAVE TO GO WITH THE LAKERS. HOWEVER, LA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY EXCITING CITY, BUT NEXT YEAR, THE BASKETBALL SEASON WILL BE VERY EXCITING.

Jimmy: IT'S GOING TO BE SO FUNNY. BUT I AM LAKERS. Jimmy: LAKERS GUY. SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE FOR THE LAKERS OR BECAUSE YOU JUST THINK THAT -- EVEN WHEN THE LAKERS HAVE A BAD TEAM LIKE LAST YEAR, I'M GOING WITH THE LAKERS. Jimmy: IF YOU WERE PLAYING RIGHT NOW, WHICH TEAM WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ON? NONE OF THOSE TEAMS. Jimmy: MILWAUKEE OR SOMETHING? I AM FROM THE AREA WHERE THE BOYS WANTED TO COMPETE AND BEAT EACH OTHER. SO HE WOULDN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO TEAMS UP AND DOES IT, HE WOULD GO TO THE TEAM THAT NEEDS A SUPERSTAR AND Teach THE BOYS HOW TO BEAT THE SUPER TEAMS.

Jimmy: WHY DO YOU THINK, KAWHI LEONARD, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT HE WANTED TO COME TO L.A., WHY DO YOU THINK I CHOSE THE CLIPPERS INSTEAD OF THE LAKERS? BECAUSE JERRY WEST IS A MASTER. Jimmy: JERRY WEST NOW WORKS FOR THE LAKERS. KNOWS HOW TO READ PEOPLE. HE PROBABLY HAD A CONVERSATION AND WAS DIRECT WITH HIM. Jimmy: IS THIS HOW HE DID IT WITH YOU? WHEN I WAS IN ORLANDO, THEY WERE NOT IN POSITION. JERRY CAME WITH A PIECE OF PAPER. DO YOU WANT THE GOOD NEWS OR THE BAD NEWS? WHAT IS THE BAD NEWS? WE CAN'T GET YOU 150.

GIVE ME THE GOOD NEWS. WE CAN GET YOU 120. GIVE ME THAT PAPER. Jimmy: HE'S THAT GOOD, HE'S THAT CHARISMATIC. HE DOES IT, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAGIC THAT FOLLOWS HIM. I REMEMBER WHEN HE GOT RID OF VLADE. SHE LOOKED CRAZY. So you think Jerry was the guy. IS THAT THE KNIGHT FROM LOUISIANA? Jimmy: YEAH, THAT GUY IS FROM LOUISIANA. MAKES SHAMPOO. I HAVE BEEN USING YOUR PRODUCT FROM HIS FOR A LONG TIME. I'll see you in court, buddy. Jimmy: SHAQUILLE O'NEILL IS HERE. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT A CERTAIN VEHICLE FOR THE MONEY TO FILL IT UP.

AND YOU SAID? WHEN YOU GET HALF, YOU PUT $20 AND GIVE IT BACK IN FULL. BUT I WOULD HAVE TO STOP. NO, YOU WOULD NOT. YOU COMPLAIN THAT WHEN IT REACHES ZERO YOU SET 80. BUT I KEEP STOPPING AND SETTING 20, IT WILL BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF GAS. THE AVERAGE HUMAN STOPS ONCE A WEEK TO GAS. WHICH YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STOP DOING ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS. Don't even try it. Jimmy: A LOT, A LOT OF LOGIC, A LITTLE LOT OF MATH. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LOGIC THERE. THAT, TO ME, IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SHOWS ON TELEVISION.

I KNOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT SPORTS, BUT I LOVE IT. THEY ALLOW US TO USE A LOT OF HUMOR. KNOW. ERNIE IS SOMETHING LIKE YOU, VERY DIRECT. KENNY, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. CHARLES IS GOING TO SAY WHATEVER, AND I'M GOING TO SAY WHATEVER. Jimmy: DO YOU AND CHARLES REALLY LIKE EACH OTHER? CHARLES BARKLEY, I HATE YOU! I HATE CHARLES BARKLEY. Jimmy: YOU HAVE A NEW RESTAURANT. IN FACT, CAN I GET THE RECIPE FOR THAT SHAMPOO SO I CAN GIVE IT TO CHARLES? CHARLES, I HAVE A PRIEST FOR YOU. Jimmy: SHAQUILLE'S IS THE NEW PLACE.

IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO FOR A WHILE? WELL, I'VE BEEN IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS FOR A WHILE. I OWN FIVE RESTAURANTS IN LAS VEGAS. I just opened something called Big Chicken, but I always wanted to do something here in Los Angeles. A spot opened up at Los Angeles Live. AND NEXT YEAR I'M GOING TO HAVE A GREAT YEAR WITH THE CLIPPERS AND THE LAKERS. Jimmy: THAT'S RIGHT. ON THE MENU YOU HAVE A SHAQ BURGER AND A KOBE BURGER. YES. Jimmy: WHICH IS BETTER? THE SHAQ BURGER. Jimmy: DOES THE KOBE BURGER COME WITH MORE ONION RINGS? he THAT'S GOOD.

THAT IS A GOOD ONE. THAT IS A GOOD ONE. YES, ONE MORE. Jimmy: IS THE KOBE BURGER KOBE BEEF? YES. Jimmy: SO YOU'VE GOT THE KOBE BEEF FOR HIM, OR THE BURGER NAMED AFTER HIM OR HE'S NAMED AFTER THE BURGER, I THINK. AND THEN REGULAR BEEF IS NAMED AFTER HER. RIGHT. Jimmy: WHICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE? I THINK OF THE KOBE BURGER. Jimmy: MM-HM. INTERESTING. WOW. YOU REALLY PUT YOUR EGO AWAY FOR THIS RESTAURANT, DIDN'T YOU? YES, I DID, YES, I DID. Jimmy: OTHER THAN CALLING IT SHAQUILLE'S, OF COURSE. HAVE YOU EVER WORKED IN A RESTAURANT? I KNOW YOU OWN IT.

I WORKED AT A McDONALD'S FOR A DAY. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, MY FATHER SAID YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHERS OR YOU GO TO WORK. I AM NOT BABYSITTING CHILDREN. ONE DAY I WENT TO WORK AND LEFT IT. I RESPECT PEOPLE WHO HAVE REAL JOBS, THAT'S HARD. Jimmy: DID THEY HAVE A UNIFORM THAT FITS? THEY DID IT. Jimmy: THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE A SPECIAL ORDER FOR THAT. NO. DO YOU KNOW WHY I LEFT HIM? Jimmy: WHY? I WAS Caught Stealing French Fries. Jimmy: I THOUGHT YOU COULD EAT FOR FREE. NOT WHERE I WORKED. Jimmy: I WANT TO RUN FOR SOME FAST THINGS.

YOU CAN SAY YES, NO, FOLLOW UP IF YOU WANT. IS IT TRUE THAT YOU EAT DESSERT FIRST AT EVERY MEAL? YES. Jimmy: WILL THAT BE AN OPTION IN THE RESTAURANT? YES. Jimmy: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU TRIED TO CARRY A SAMURAI SWORD ON A PLANE? YES. Jimmy: BE CAREFUL OR CHECK? CONTINUE. Jimmy: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU TOOK A FULL-SIZE STANDUP NBA JAM ARCADE GAME ON A TRAVEL WITH YOU? MY ENTIRE ROOKIE SEASON. Jimmy: ALL SEASON. YES. Jimmy: THAT WOULD TRAVEL WITH YOU. IN YOUR POCKET OR DO SOME GUYS DO IT? ON THE PLANE. Jimmy: YOU HAD A WHITE TIGER CALLED DIESEL THAT ALMOST KILLED YOU?

YES. Jimmy: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DIESEL? WELL I SAW HIM ONE WEEK AND HE WAS A KITTEN. WHEN I RETURNED, I WAS THE SAME SIZE AS CHARLES BARKLEY. LY HAD TO GIVE HIM A GIFT. Jimmy: YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST BED IN THE WORLD. J YES. Jimmy: HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S THE BIGGEST BED IN THE WORLD? BECAUSE I SAY IT IS. Jimmy: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU TRIED TO BUY SIX FLAGS? YES. Jimmy: WHAT HAPPENED? I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY U Jimmy: SHAQUILLE O'NEAL! SHAQUILLE'S IS NOW OPEN LIVE HERE IN LOS ANGELES. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL TO ALL
