Below is an excerpt from the interview.

 

King: You do this thing where you say, nobody applauds when you say you have four children

 

Gaffigan: They essentially treat you like you’re Amish. Well, that’s one way to live your life.

 

Hill: We’ve heard about people like you, we’re just not sure.

 

Rose: We’re supposed to be nice to you

 

Gaffigan: Yeah, can you build us one of those wood fire places, that would be great. But you know, I love having four kids. But it is—whenever people ask what it’s like to have a fourth. I always say it’s like drowning and then someone hands you a baby.”
