The first man on the pod!! Cause their moms die too. Michael is a writer, producer and actor (bio below!). He shared one of the best stories about his parents origin stories that maybe I have ever heard?! Michael is so full of humour, joy and love. His mom Didi sounds like the baddest bitch and I was so happy to hear about this extraordinary woman.
