Michael responded with, "She's already adopted a dog, you've been preparing for an empty nest, I think you'll be fine."

"I love my kids, and I am very attached to them. But Lena and I are codependent, I'd let her eat the food out of my mouth."

They also talked about their extended family vacation in Italy that they had recently returned from, and Ryan elaborated on the conversation by asking Michael his thoughts about his parents' social media post, which featured Kelly cheekily giving her husband an eyeful in a swimsuit.
