so i had to have an emergency c section. and when you have that, like you're totally out of it, right? i'm on drugs. someone else is holding the baby. so i had this dramatic moment of realization. i was like, "is that the baby? that's it? oh, i don't like it."

[ laughter ] oh, keep it? you just keep it. okay. we kept him. he's 7-years-old. thank you. he's doing great. [ laughter ] we live in los angeles and, of course, we have no winter there. so the other day he pushed me in the pool. yeah. i went right inside. i got on my laptop and just wiped out his 529 college savings plan. [ laughter ] it cost me 10% to get the money out. but i was so cold and wet and angry that i didn't give a
