During the discussion, Mike hinted that Jamie was supposed to play his character in his biopic. He said, “Well, it was a possibility. I don’t know what’s going to happen now. But, you know, it’s a strong possibility. Because, you know, Jamie’s closer to my age, so in order to do him, they were going to do what they did with [the movie] Benjamin Button. They were going to make him look younger.”

Mike also said that he has no idea about Jamie’s current health situation and also talked about life’s unpredictability with the host. He said, “Hey listen, we can’t anticipate our next breath.
