The podcast host further discussed their journey to the hospital when she'd gone into labor in Washington DC, revealing another one of George's eccentricities.

"And George pulls into the parking lot across the street from the hospital. And I said 'Honey, pull up to the emergency room, I'm in labor!' 

"And George was like 'Well, that's not an emergency,'" she retold, leaving host Jimmy Kimmel and the audience in roaring laughter.

"He's going into like satellite G5 parking structure," she continued. "And I said 'You can drop me off and then go park, if you really needed a parking spot.'"
