Adoption Pricing, Kay Classman's High School Con, and Back to School Pitches

At 1:01:45 · chapter starts 1:01:40

Andrew and Bobby take the fatherhood conversation to its logical conclusion: could they adopt together and timeshare the child? Fancy looks it up — private adoption runs $40,000–$70,000, foster care just $0–$2,000. Bobby is interested in the foster route. The conversation pivots to Kay Classman, a 28-year-old woman arrested for repeatedly enrolling in Bronx high schools as a 16-year-old across multiple districts. The detail that makes it dark: she wasn't a predator. She was just lonely and trying to reclaim a childhood that didn't go well. Andrew sees a movie in it. Bobby pitches himself going back to high school as the now-famous comedian reclaiming his reputation — basically 22 and a Half Jump Street.
