The mobile navigation app Waze now allows people to use Shaquille O’Neal’s voice as a voice setting, and it’s as awesome as it sounds.
Shaq unveiled the new setting during Tuesday’s Inside the NBA broadcast, and of course, it’s loaded with all sorts of catchphrases.

Best of all, the Shaq voice will shout, “Barbecue chicken alert!” upon reaching the final destination. And since it’s Waze, you’ll be hearing a lot of Shaq because Waze routes are always an adventure. It’s never easy.

I’ve had some bad Waze experiences, but I had to check the app to confirm that the Shaq setting is real. And it is indeed real. Oh, so real.
But let’s not overlook that Colonel Sanders is also an option on Waze. This decision just got so much tougher.
