During the chat, the aspiring actor opened up about everything from family vacations to the dynamics between his siblings and their famous mom - and even recalled one terrifying incident that occurred at home - to which none of his family responded to!

"Mom is the biggest texter in the family group chat," he told Kelly and Ryan, before explaining that the one time he tried to join in, he got radio silence.

The mom-of-three added: "He sent me a video saying I'm being attacked by vultures. They were flying in the sky and were clearly crows. So I don't know what to tell him. No life threatening experiences happening!"

During Michael's appearance on the show, he also opened up about life in Brooklyn, having moved out of his family's home in the Upper East Side three years ago.

He told his mom and Ryan that he enjoyed the independence but of course, that he missed his family too.
