Mother’s Day is upon us. And nothing makes it more special for moms than a teeny little prank. Comedian Tom Segura’s gift to his mom, Charo, a couple of years ago was viral social media fame. Two years later it makes a comeback on The Big Podcast with the added entertainment bonus of Shaquille O’Neal’s eloquent review and a sweet message to Charo. Segura even had a very insightful discussion on the marvels of advanced technology that made this moment possible.
Adam Lefkoe knows the kind of humor Shaq loves and ensured he saw the video. His real-time reaction to Segura’s mom showing unrivaled talent to pass wind without interruption was captured. The finale to that unbroken backend blast is Charo turning around and discovering her son had been recording her. This clip was not silent but undeniably deadly on social media, going viral on every platform imaginable.
Who knows how many air biscuits Shaq has analyzed because he got rather technical. “First of all, it had nice length,” which had been established by millions of social media users. “Nice length and excellent clarity. It was great.” He said this twice and even re-enacted the tone (fortunately) with his voice. You don’t see him get this technical when talking about basketball on TNT.

Segura even revealed how this moment came out of coincidence, “amazing technology,” and him being a general bratty kid in his 40s. The comedian challenged his mom. “Bet you don’t have a big fart.” She got snappy, and turned around, ready to prove him wrong. Something in Segura prompted him to take out his iPhone, use the quick access to the camera, and record it just before the first toot. “So I just went Bam Bam and then that was captured like that.” The whistling fizzle was such a “magic moment,” for Shaq, that Charo Segura deserved a shoutout.

Shaquille O’Neal makes Segura Fam’s Mother’s Day special
O’Neal is nothing short of a backside belcher himself. A year ago he ripped a thunder from down under on the job and filled Studio J with his toxic fumes, which he blamed on “bad lasagne.” The air pollution made the TNT crew clear out and save their noses.

He’s now witnessed the OG of cutting the cheese and he had a message for her. “Love you, Miss Charo. That was awesome.” He salvaged another Mother’s Day for Segura, who originally blasted the trumpet online against his mom’s wishes. With O’Neal’s heartfelt message, Segura could tell his mom her squeaky talent is a “Shaq-approved” winner.

Adam Lefkoe took full credit for facilitating this wholesome Mother’s Day moment. He should hope Shaq isn’t inspired to release some air tulips when they’re at work next.
