NFL veteran Spice Adams started talking about Joel Baumann and his “herpes” problem. All of them started to balk at it. Adams started off with this saying, “That man said he had like 30 all-nighters and he started saying he had a herpes outbreak”. Nischelle mentioned it was twice to which Spice Adams balked and replied, “What? This is too much information as a person. That man said he had two outbreaks in a week.” Shaq said, “So does that mean as a fighter, you don’t want to fight him now”. Turner mentioned that herpes is a sexually transmitted disease to Shaq and does not spread through fighting. Shaq further stated, “He had 30 all-nighters. Damn.”
