The Cowboys don’t have to overturn reality for Shaquille O’Neal to offend over 1.6 million people. He just doesn’t want Chuck’s team to win. While Charles Barkley is putting his money on the Eagles going for consecutive Super Bowl trips, Shaquille O’Neal is rooting against them. While. In. Philly. In front of Gillie and Wallo no less. That warranted some serious upping of stakes.

The last time Shaq bet against the reigning Super Bowl champions, he claimed he’d dress up like Charles Barkley. This time he’s going to ‘dress down.’

The Big Podcast returned with Philadelphia’s faves, Gillie Da King and Wallo 267 from the Million Dollaz Worth of Game. Shaq chose violence when he asked them if the Eagles will go to the Super Bowl again.

The champs are 5-2 right now, not exactly in bad shape. Gillie could comfortably say, “I know we going to be in the Super Bowl.” Shaq’s not really a betting man, but he didn’t like that claim. So he bet, “y’all will not be in the Super Bowl.” Wallo pressed for a reason and got a typical Shaq response. “Because I’m a Cowboys fan.” So now he’s got that studio full of Philly fans doing the Eagles chant.

O’Neal doesn’t care about the Cowboys right now. But he doesn’t want the Eagles to not win again so bad, he told the room, “Since I’m trying to embarrass Philly, make me do something that make me embarrass myself. This what I’ll do. I’ll get butt naked and y’all could put feathers on me and I’ll walk around the city in feathers.”

That sight’s going to be… something. Can you picture that on the next Eagles championship parade? Gillie can’t. Because he shut that down pretty quick.

Shaq’s not new to risque business

The only time Shaquille O’Neal likes Philly is when its neighbor, Hersheys is hyping up his Shaq-a-Licious XL Gummies. After ousting Joel Embiid out of the Big Man Alliance and crushing 76ers hopes, he went after the Eagles. He wants the Philadelphia Eagles to lose so bad, he previously wagered that if the Eagles won their season opener, he’d wear a black dress and wig like Charles Barkley’s 2023 Weight Watchers commercial fit. Eagles won and Shaq’s yet to fulfil that bet.

This time he’s proposed a risque bet because it’s the Super Bowl. There’s a lot of times Shaq has not held his end of the deal after losing, but he might do this one for the heck of it. If his proposal to strut around in his birthday suit with only feathers for modesty is giving war flashbacks to that pink speedo, it’s for a reason. Fresh into his retirement in 2012, Shaq re-wore his hot pink speedo on national television after he lost a bet to Jimmy Fallon.

That’s a visual best left in the 360p dungeon of YouTube. Gillie Da King was not about to revive that. So he switched it up but press right at Shaq’s anti-Eagles nerve. “You got to put the actual Jojo outfit on. The whole Eagle thing with the deal.”

Jojo is just Gillie himself, in all his Eagles superfan glory. It’s how he’s partying inside the Eagles locker, reacting live to Eagles games on his TV, wearing Eagles gear and his signature Noggin’ Boss hats. Honestly, Shaq dressing up like a diehard Eagles fan would be more sinister than what he’s proposing.

Shaq’s a little overconfident it won’t come to that. But Gillie’s going to clip this up and keep it ready for when he’s bringing the Big Diesel back to Philadelphia to eat his words.
