[@JimmyMakingitwork]

A friend of mine works for Shaq and I can honestly say he is the real deal. No fake nonsense. Good all around man, A giant in more than the obvious ways.

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Hey Jimmy, does your friend know if Shaq is open to questions on his cheesy 90s film roles such as Steel and Kazam?

[@rushshukla4636]

Sammy is absolute proof that life begins @70!!

[@StevenGarnsky]

Dude's in great shape and seems to be having so much fun these days.

[@mattmorin4460]

Love Shaq, great dude, would love to meet him one day!

[@kevincampbell9526]

The fact that Sammy and Joe are still relevant in 2022 is a testament to top-drawer rock & roll.

🙌🏻❤️

[@jakecook716]

But honestly, these guys are some of the last music legends. They are dying off every year. Bands haven't really reached greatness since the 90s

[@bobbowie9350]

Joe is still relatively young. Glad that DL is rocking still.

[@jurgencuypers8350]

Def Lepp is a nostalgia band. Once great.

[@fatsuperfly]

Love Sammy! Always looks like positive vibes every time

[@seanswinton6242]

Hanging out with Sammy Hagar at Cabo Wabo is in my bucket list!

[@islandmank]

His cookbook is awesome!

[@georgeoneal78]

Nobody messes with the Shaq. I am glad he's doing great after basketball. He says what he thinks and doesn't care

[@Blizofoz45]

I love how serious Shaq is. Direct and to the point. Focused.

[@chrisrobison6469]

I'm 50 years old this year born back in 1972 and the 80s were the best time to be a teenager. All of us around in the Era or truly blessed by God in so many ways. Sammy, love ya brother your so down to earth and you was Van Halen in my opinion!!!! Def leppard what else needs to be said other than thank you, thank you and Sammy for so many great years of music and memories and I wish I could go back to the 80s and the simpler times of being a 16, 17, or 18 year old kid with the only worry being which girl you was taking out that weekend. If you guys really really and truly new what yall meant to all the teenagers of the 80s I believe it would be unimaginable for you. Thank you guys for all the years!! Oh and by the way now even my own daughter and now her son (CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT A GRANDSON NOW) love the music of our generation, she said "dad i would loved to have grown up in the 80s."and all I could say is yes you would!!! Lol

[@garyleveroni9410]

I agree I’m 53 and the 80s were the best.. best music almost the best cars miss my iroc -z and the girls when leg warmers and big hair were in ....hahahaha 👍👍👍👍👍

Not mentioned in the title: Interview with Joe Elliot of Def Leppard starting at 5:00

[@TonyM132]

Ya, quite an oversight by the channel, omitting that from the video title!

[@angryagain3801]

Yeah I think someone needs to amend that title. It's disrespectful to the guests.

[@stevehazlewood2960]

Shaq...what a cool guy. Loved this episode

[@memyself8492]

Shaq is a true role model. Seems like every one could learn or take some thing away from what he says.

[@brettt777]

I am about to turn 62. I hope and pray I look as good as SH when I'm in my 70's.

[@jcisthe1337]

Sammy & Shaq are two great guys. What you see is what you'll get if you are lucky enough to meet

[@archstanton7157]

Love what Shaq said to his kids about money. Joe is right about fans coming back around. I just listened to High n Dry again.

[@mullholand]

Shaq is the man. I wish more NBA players were like this guy.

[@richardremick1639]

I never knew Shaq had a doctorate. The man can do it all. Most impressive athlete all around unbelievable

[@tdz69]

Two of the most amazing guys right here. Sammy is always ALWAYS positive and loving life. Shaq is one of the funniest guys on the planet and has a heart bigger than he is.

[@billwrb9945]

Loved the discussion with Joe, great guy!

[@billkop3717]

I agree Shaq to me is one of my favorite player's of all times, just a beautiful human being, and again I say once again Sammy Hagar is one of my favorite artist, stay safe guy's, God bless!!!

[@quentinrance8974]

Two of my favorite human beings!!!!!

[@montmn]

Shaq is such a super nice guy. Down to earth and humble.

[@bobbowie9350]

Sammy is 74??? Incredible

[@mrhoffame]

This is AMAZING!! LITERALLY I have been saying for years that when it come to rock and roll Sammy is one guy who doesn't seem to get caught up in the bullshit, but just really enjoys the ride and life he is blessed with. Drinks, beaches, flip flops, and board shorts lol. I said the EXACT same thing about Shaq. That he is just a big kid with millions of dollars. Doesn't get lost in the BS! To see them together is like the Universe telling me I had it right all along lol. Love both you guys!!!!

[@martyjones8016]

No truer words have ever been said, "the song is the boss, not any of us." And thats why theyve sold billions of records...their egos never got in the way....love it

[@walterevans2118]

Shaq is one of the GOOD guys. We all know that.👍...... I wonder if he has heard the recent Circle shows in Vegas recently.

[@teresafarrell6457]

Ya boy there is a high-ranking Freemason. (Luciferian)

[@walterevans2118]

[@allennelson673]

Man what a great episode two of my favorites

[@WhatsCookingTime]

Always love seeing interview with Joe such a great guy such a great knowledge

[@billpowley5882]

Shaq to Def Leppard...gotta love it..curious as to why he did Shaq doing a rock and roll show? Love Shaq. Just very unexpected. Now that's diversity lol

[@deandee8082]

also people gotta understand that Shaq being the size he is had to work twice as hard as everyone else cuz he had to move all that size around, it takes energy, carbs, sweat, it's no joke, so when Shaq plays a full game you have to understand its like playing 3 games over everyone else so for him to say money over the game he just payed so much I don't blame him, I always felt for the guy having to play the entire game like that but being a true sport about it he has a huge heart as well...

[@Rambleon444]

This can't be overemphasized. I saw Shaq at a boxing match walking by regular people he was a giant amongst men at 7' 1", 324 LBS. Micheal Keaton walked by Shaq he just came out with Batman and he at 5" 9" looked like a little kid in comparison. Mind-boggling running up and down the court with an extra 100 lbs compared to the other players.

[@jafquist27]

Wow! Shaq's got a head on his shoulders. Not that I thought he didn't, but it's wild hearing just how smart he is. "Cha Ching, Oh yah, all day."

[@b-man1232]

74-years old.....Sammy is a beast!

[@williamforrest4371]

SHAQ YOU ARE ONE VERY INTELLIGENT MAN YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD TOTALLY TOGETHER I'M VERY VERY PROUD AND RESPECT YOU

[@jamesphillips4393]

Awesome Sammy, all of these are GREAT!!!

[@TigerPalmer]

Fun fact: Sammy’s son is 2 years older than Shaq!

[@claytonknight3078]

My late brother worked with Shaq's mom many years ago and I asked my mother before she died what kind of person she was, and he told her that she was the kindest person he ever met. That explains why he became such a great person!

[@shermanpup]

Saw the original Def Leppard (with Pete Willis) open for Ozzy when Randy Rhodes was alive, August 29 1981. We were up close, and as young guitar players, it was a great show . Def Leppard was from my age group. Ozzy opened with Crazy Train and started to puke and ran offstage . The band played the whole song with no vocals and no Ozzy. Saw VH up close at the same venue in 78 . Life changing, seeing Ed play the white and black guitar and hearing his amps at age 17.

[@casinogeno1]

Love seeing Shaq. When he talks about business, Sammy listens....

[@gnrnando88]

Shaq is brilliant! Some people are geniuses in one aspect and focus their abilities on one type of art, knowledge, activities.....whatever, but Shaq is more than a great basketball player, you can see through his actions and his life that this man is very wise.

[@onnyt60]

What’s the deal with Charles Barkley?

[@martyflannigan5052]

I saw Deff Leppard in London Ontario in june/july 1983 great concert

[@KenKellySWFL]

Bumped into Shaq… literally… in the casino at the Atlantis in the Bahamas. It was like walking into a wall! I think he was there filming “Shark Week”.

[@harryhamb]

I played with my Band after his Basketball Show in Frankfurt/ Germany years ago!-;)

[@kramnoslaw4474]

Shaq is such a humble dude. To top it off with Joe Elliotte from Deff leopard one of my fav bands

[@claytonknight3078]

My late brother worked with Shaq's mom at FT. Sam Houston and I asked my mother before she died what he thought of her, and she told me that he said she was the kindest person he ever knew. That explains what a great human being that he became.

[@bludog4657]

A year late, but just gotta say...So proud of both of these fine gentlemen.

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Met Shaq when I worked downtown “Chicago” was so star struck and he is a big tall dude but skinnier stature in person in my opinion. I was so freaked he looked at me like what’s the big deal. Super nice guy. His body guard was half his size.

What a great set of interviews. I just finished reading Red and knowing some of Sammy’s personal and business history really put some of his questions and comments into context.

The biggest regret in business for Shaq was NOT buy stock in Starbucks. ☕ Seeing Joe Elliott after all these years is great 👍

Shaq is the MAN!! We people in Orlando really lost ouut when he left for L.A. Orlando haad the worst owner in the NBA (Rich Devos) He is rich as hell but refused to pay for any good/great players. I don't blame Shaq for leaving, but always think what could have been! The "Magic" are a joke of a sports franchise!
