1. Cussing on the Podcast [00:30 – 03:13]
The episode kicks off with a playful discussion centered around listener requests for Michael to use profanity on the show. While Jack, Joe, and Katie Green are known for their colorful language, Michael has maintained a cleaner persona, prompting fans to crave hearing him curse.
- Michael [00:51]: “...people that are saying that they've always heard Jack, Joe, and myself curse on this podcast, but they've never heard Michael, so they want to hear Michael cuss.”
Katie Green questions if Michael ever curses in real life, to which Michael and Jack admit they rarely do. However, responding to the audience's demand, Michael agrees to let them "pick their flavor and just go for it."
- Michael [01:24]: “I’d like, I’d like for you to pick your flavor and just go for it because the people want it.”
Jack takes the bait with mild expletives, surprising Katie and Joe. The culmination comes when Jack uses the racial slur "honky," leading to humorous yet tense reactions from the hosts.
- Jack [01:32]: “Then I'm going to shock you with this racial slur. But honky.”
Katie acknowledges that Michael has finally "satisfied that knee" by using profanity, marking a significant moment for longtime listeners.
2. Michael’s Potential Parenthood Announcement [04:00 – 12:46]
The episode shifts to more personal territory as Michael reveals his plans to start a family. He discusses his hereditary kidney disease, which has a 50% chance of being passed on to his child. To combat this, Michael and his partner, Drew, have sought advanced medical interventions, including genetic testing and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Michael [04:00]: “I've talked about how I was hoping this year to have a kid, and we have decided that the end of May is going to be when it happens.”
Michael details the process: a doctor will extract and genetically test eggs to identify and eliminate those carrying the kidney disease. Drew’s sperm will be introduced to ensure a healthy conception.
- Michael [04:36]: “And science is every day. It blows my mind. So they're going to take those eggs, they are going to put Drew's little swimmers in those guys, and then we are going to artificially inseminate, as they say, at the end of May.”
The conversation touches briefly on political implications, with Michael referencing potential bans under Trump's policies, which Joe and Katie dismiss humorously.

Michael shares his excitement and hopes for a successful and relatively swift conception process.
- Michael [05:50]: “Yeah. Or actually, no. I don't math well. So I'll probably have a baby by this time next year if it works right off the bat.”
The discussion further delves into genetic testing for other conditions, emphasizing the thoroughness of their preparation.
- Michael [06:00]: “The fact that this doctor has the ability to. And there are other genetic issues. Like, she. She did a test on both Drew and I, and he tested, I believe, high for muscular dystrophy.”
3. Anecdote About Placenta in the Studio [08:32 – 10:58]
Michael shares an amusing and somewhat bizarre story from his time working at KSFO in San Francisco. A morning show host brought in placenta for a segment, which was then cooked in the studio's microwave, leading to an unbearable smell and disrupted the work environment.
- Michael [08:38]: “We shared a building with a beautiful rock station based out of San Francisco. And the morning show there had a dear friend of mine who had a baby, and she decided to bring her placenta into the studio after.”
He recounts the host's decision to cook the placenta, which resulted in the entire newsroom smelling foul.
- Michael [09:55]: “Basically, the placenta got cooked in the microwave. The entire newsroom and the KSFO studio reeked of whatever the hell that was.”
