“She was looking down and she [looked up] and goes, ‘What?’ And I go, ‘Yes, my mother gave me this as a birthday present,’ ” Hammer continued. “It just was one of those things like you could tell she was hearing something and like, ‘I've never heard — what are you talking about?' So yeah, my mom got me a vasectomy for my birthday.”
Dru added, "Yeah, I'm not stupid!"
