It&#8217;s like, &#8216;Happy birthday! Go to school!&#8217; And then when you get there, there was a big break. So, when they read the happy birthdays over the loud speaker, you&#8217;re among like 30 people who had birthdays. Nothing special!&#8221; the 44-year-old <em>Armchair Expert<\/em> podcast host joked with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/ellen_degeneres\">Ellen DeGeneres<\/a><\/strong>. &#8220;Now as an adult when I try to have a birthday party, everyone has just quit eating carbs and they&#8217;re not drinking. All this goes out the window in a week, but my birthday is in the first week. I can&#8217;t get more than six people to attend my birthday party\u2014and I&#8217;m on television <em>and<\/em> they know Kristen will be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shepard&#8217;s mother, <strong>Laura LaBo<\/strong>, was in the audience\u2014and every year, on the eve of the actor&#8217;s birthday, she tells him his birth story. &#8220;It was happening last night, and Kristen was listening to the story and also she got her first labor pain at 11:30 watching <em>Johnny Carson<\/em>, and then I was in her arms at 1:15 a.m. And Kristen was like, &#8216;Hold on a second! You&#8217;re saying from your first labor pain to holding the baby was an hour and 40 minutes?&#8217; She was like, &#8216;Yes,'&#8221; Shepard recalled. &#8220;Eventually I had to tell Kristen, &#8216;Stop poking holes in the story. It&#8217;s lore now. Like <strong>Kim Jong-un<\/strong>\u2014he&#8217;s only scored hole in ones when he golfs. That&#8217;s what this story is all about. We don&#8217;t need the truth. We just need to celebrate the arrival of this freak.&#8217; There&#8217;s a few things that don&#8217;t add up. I don&#8217;t think Kristen will be a part of next year&#8217;s telling of the birthday myth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"63.984375\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"19.6875\">\n<p>Before going to commercial break, DeGeneres gave Shepard a special pair of overalls for his birthday gift. &#8220;You still love <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/brad_pitt\">Brad Pitt<\/a><\/strong>, right?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;It&#8217;s Brad Pitt all over\u2014in every form!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, Shepard fielded questions from the audience\u2014and Bell had a very important inquiry. &#8220;What would you recommend getting someone very special, like a spouse, for their birthday?&#8221; the <em>Good Place<\/em> star, 38, asked her husband. &#8220;Or how would you spoil them on their birthday?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the bedroom?&#8221; Shepard teased.<\/p>\n<p>With a smirk, Bell replied, &#8220;Let&#8217;s say I have in the bedroom covered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"html-external-3\" data-type=\"async\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"41.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-html-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"23\">\n<p>As tears filled his eyes, Shepard told his wife, &#8220;I would say please, please, please give that person love and support for 11 years.
