A woman gave birth on a Cape Cod highway. Then, her husband cut the baby’s umbilical cord in a Dunkin’ parking lot!

This was definitely not the delivery plan the couple had in mind, but now it’s going viral online and they’ll have a great story to tell for the rest of their lives. Somehow, there’s even more to this story!

Woman Gives Birth On Highway, Husband Cuts Umbilical Cord In Dunkin’ Parking Lot

You’d think a woman giving birth on a highway and then her husband cutting the umbilical cord in a Dunkin’ parking lot would be a story on its own–but it got only crazier from there. When you don’t have time to plan, and you have to immediately step into action, you might forget a thing or two during the process–including your wedding ring.

Rebecca Mahota and her husband Danya, of Brewster, Cape Cod, welcomed baby Summer on the side of Route 6 as they were heading to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth. However, along the way, they realized they were not going to make it to their destination. Can you imagine the panic you’d be feeling? Do you go faster? Or do you pull to the side? Danya recalled to People, “(Rebecca) starts screaming, and she’s like, ‘She’s coming.’ I’m driving obviously, I reach down between my wife’s legs, and, sure enough, I feel the top of my daughter’s head.” Oh, my! Yeah, there’s no flooring it at that point. You’re immediately pulling over.

According to WCVB, baby Summer’s arrival came only 26 minutes into their 56-minute trip to the hospital. Rebecca tells WCVB, “One contraction later, he had pulled over to the side of the road, I was already holding her head.” Later, at the hospital, Danya noticed that his wedding ring was missing. So, he checked the house, car, and hospital room but couldn’t find it. Days later, he went with some friends to check the side of the highway where it all went down, and they were able to find it, per WCVB!

Now, mother and daughter are both reportedly doing great. Everything came together as it should. What a crazy journey that would have been! There’s no word on if they’re going to get free Dunkin’ or anything like that. They did bring the chain a bit of extra attention, or as you could call it “free advertising.” Congratulations to the new family!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Underappreciated Episodes Of 'Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee'

Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is an incredibly popular show. However, some of the best episodes have gone underappreciated!

Some of the biggest comedians in the world have appeared on the hit show that’s currently streaming on Netflix. There’s an episode that reunited Jerry with former collaborator Larry David and comedy legends like Martin Short, Dave Chappelle, and Eddie Murphy. However, some of the episodes with comedians you might not be as familiar with are some of the best and most underappreciated episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

5 Underappreciated Episodes Of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

When an episode features one of the best comedians in the game, like Ricky Gervais or Chris Rock, you go into it knowing it’s going to be a good episode. These guys are the best of the best! They aren’t going to come on the show and miss. It’s not happening—and it doesn’t.

Likewise, when Jerry reunites with his former Seinfeld co-stars or collaborators, you know you’re going to be in for a treat. The episode with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is one of the best in the series, and nothing incredibly funny even happens! The 2 of them just have such great chemistry all these years later that it’s still gold when they start riffing together. They even share some behind-the-scenes moments from Seinfeld, and it’s a fantastic episode. The ones with Larry David and Michael Richards are great as well. Larry is in his purest form during the episode, he’s one of few people I’ve seen appear on the show and not drink coffee, opting for tea, instead. He tells a never shared joke during the episode about the Hunchback of Notre Dame that is laugh out loud funny. Larry is one-of-a-kind.

According to Deadline, there were 84 episodes of the show made, and that’s a lot to choose from! It can be difficult to choose which ones you want to watch next once you’ve gone through all your favorite comedians and the big names. So, let me help you out! I feel like I’ve seen almost all of them and while very few are duds, some rise to the top compared to others. It was very difficult to narrow it down to only 5 underappreciated episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

So, before we get to the list, I have to share some Honorable Mentions. First, there’s Jon Stewart in Season 4 Episode 5. Jon is so relatable and is one of the more likable humans to appear on the show. He’s just like a friend all of us have, only he’s incredibly hilarious and successful. I came out of that episode liking him much more. Zach Galifianakis (Season 10 Episode 1) was adorable. The episode ended with a special Between Two Ferns that was hilarious at at Jerry’s expense. Finally, as a massive Seth Rogen fan obviously, I enjoyed his episode (Season 11 Episode 2). Ready for the list? Let’s get to it!

5 Recommended Episodes Of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

  • Bob Einstein (Season 1 Episode 6 & Season 9 Episode 6)

    https://youtu.be/TIqaKGAnLdQ?si=GVXYVUTue-J-4k2y Bob Einstein’s episodes of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee are must-sees. He was the first guest to be brought back for a second appearance and after you see the first one, you’ll certainly understand why. He’s so funny! You might recognize him from playing Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm or as satirical stuntman Super Dave. His back and forth with Jerry is one-of-a-kind. They might be my favorite episodes of the show, even better than the ones featuring my personal favorite comedians! May he Rest In Peace.

  • Barack Obama (Season 7 Episode 1)

    https://youtu.be/WY1JcIoV72k?si=CxvQ4hhqK5cF8Mae Regardless of how you feel about politics, Barack Obama was an incredibly interesting guest on the show. He was funny, courteous, and not afraid to give Jerry some digs. It was so cool to see a U.S. President on the show and getting a sense of who he is as a person outside of politics. He seems like a relatable guy and it was a fantastic episode. It kind of brought out a different Jerry that you don’t see with the comedians on the show. For once, Jerry isn’t the one in charge. It’s different but it’s great.

  • Tina Fey (Season 3 Episode 5)

    https://youtu.be/UvCnI2tMY2o?si=MWduqGU-1AY8Jm2K Tina Fey is a national treasure. If Mean Girls wasn’t enough to prove that, or her performance as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock, then this episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee should do the trick. I want to be friends with her! I think we’d get along! She’s hilarious and comes off as relatable and human. It sounds like she loves food as much as she loves comedy. I might be in love with her.

  • Will Ferrell (Season 7 Episode 6)

    https://youtu.be/DCYUClhHgkk?si=4bVJecAGTPg7kfMC Of course Will Ferrell was great on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. Despite not being known as a stand-up, he cut his teeth in sketch comedy and made a name for himself on SNL. He and Jerry appear on the same wave-length throughout the episode and often don’t need words to understand what each other is thinking. Including an awkward moment with a waitress that they both immediately recognize as strange, but are too nice to really say anything about. It’s hilarious. He shares the story of his audition on Saturday Night Live and seems like a guy anybody would get along with.

  • Norm MacDonald (Season 9 Episode 2)

    https://youtu.be/smJLBIF-HW8?si=s146JkQoHOHxdEiT Norm MacDonald’s passing was one that hit me hard. He was always one of my favorite comedians and there’s truly nobody else like him. Many comics try to replicate it but will never be able to accomplish that. He’s truly one-of-a-kind. In the episode, he shows that unique perspective he’s known for. Nobody can straddle the proverbial line quite like Norm. In the episode, he shares his thoughts on the Cosby ordeal which ended up going viral. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best episodes of the show. It was so good they should have just done every episode together and I would have been fine with that. Rest In Peace, Norm.
