During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Colbert and Shaq were talking about what was the best sandwich. Shaq answered “Turkey Club” to which Colbert responded, “It’s a classic.. it’s a classic pretty safe in any hotel too“.

Colbert then asked him, “Do you dip the fries in the mayo?“. To this Shaq had a very sharp reaction and made a face while saying “No Man,” and then started acting like he was gagging. When Colbert told him that they do that in Europe, Shaq had a straight-faced response “We not in Europe.”
