Hey, everyone. Craig Melvin here from the Today Show. I'm excited to share a special preview of my new podcast, Glass Half-Foom, where each week I sit down with a fascinating person to talk about the moments that shape their lives.

You're about to hear a clip for my conversation with the one and only, Shaquille O'Neal.

I hope you enjoy it.

Shaquille O'Neal, welcome.

How are you, sir?

We start every episode with a toast.

I've got my bourbon. You don't drink on TV, so we got you a mug. But this is not TV, it's a podcast. That's true, but they're TV cameras. Beatboxed. What are we toast into? Life. Just life. Me making you look bad on your own podcast. That's how we're going to start this.

That's how we're going to start, okay?

Me and you always fight, bro.

We do.

And by the way, I don't think it's a coincidence that since you started beefing with me,

my career is sort of.

So I should probably attribute some of my success to Shaq.

First of all, it's not beef.

It's just competition.

That's all.

That's true.

You know, I love you and I respect you. I'm also proud of you. Like, I've been a fan of yours from day one and you do great honest work. You know, a lot of people in our business don't do great honest work, but you do great honest work and may God continue to bless you, brother. Man, we might have to stop the podcast.

Thank you.

That means a lot coming from someone like yourself.

Before we get into some of the moments that have shaped you professionally and personally,

would you consider yourself a glass half full or a glass half-empty kind of guy?
