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.

"I've got my feet on the dashboard, I can barely breathe. I'm sure I was crowning," she said, describing her state at the time.

"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.
