"Have you ever held a chicken?" "Y-yeah" ..."nah" LMFAO

Anyone notice 3:12 when Mike blanked out on Ace’s name and his inner dialogue after 😂😂 And the fact that Ace noticed this and continued without missing a beat!

Apparently the machine also seasons the chicken too

[@asethomas932]

I shouldve saw that bro!

[@dhu2056]

It chops off the chicken's head too

[@nikkitobin8356]

[@daisylove422]

I thought I was the only one that noticed! 😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😩 wtf

[@ILive2Rescue]

The integrity of Mr. Thomas is extremely admirable, _especially_ when Shaq, who he’s a fan of, re-enters the room and tries to convince him to open the device. The fact that he literally blocks access to it by putting his hands on both doors says a lot about his character! I hope he got his photo op with Shaq like he wanted because he def deserved it. :)

[@theyemenipatriot8020]

Indeed!

"Shaq came in the guy's face" lmao I really misinterpreted that when I read it the first time.

Aww... the boys face at 3:11 melts your heart. You could tell he adores him.

5:14 the way Ace shakes his head and says "cant do it" when Shaq is saying cmon open the case LOL had me rolling on the floor.

Michael just realized that he said his surname to shaq when shaking his hand and just laughed it off

[@TheRealFoop]

What a huge build up, for the guy to be confused for maybe 2 seconds and then have everything explained to him.

[@hunterthomas6687]

I like that they had a white country girl first, and didnt use it cus she didnt know shaq and then found a black guy so they would actually be stoked on shaq lol

[@abcdefghijklmnopq657]

If they had Taylor Swift on they'd probably let the white country girl stay
