Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“No, it's just one of many catalysts that helped me get along the way.”
“I love the movie Contagion. I love that movie.”
“Honestly, I would not put that past the Saudis, mate.”
“Yeah, he's like, I am so wealthy. Yeah, I will leave you this half.”
“No, it's just okay rosé.”
How do you recover from a panic disorder that affects eating or swallowing?
Combine professional counselling (Jordan did around 20 sessions) with long-acting medication like fluoxetine if an underlying anxiety condition is identified; expect habitual physical responses to persist even after the panic itself subsides, and give the medication weeks to take effect.
How should you prepare research for an in-depth interview?
Spend a day or several hours consuming as much information as possible, put it into a structured biographical document, sleep on it, then revisit the notes to form early life, key topics, and rounding-out sections; actively seek angles not already covered in prior interviews with that guest rather than repeating known PR lines.
Jordan explains how severe anxiety manifested as a panic disorder affecting his digestive tract, making it hard to swallow solid food; he underwent 20 counselling sessions and now takes fluoxetine, describing the slow process of the medication working alongside ingrained habitual responses.
Jordan recounts briefly attending Greek school as a young child, where he was teased for having fairer hair and not being able to speak Greek like the other kids, leading to regret that his parents didn't push him to learn the language.
Jordan and his fiancée Lauren initially planned to marry in Japan to limit guest obligations from their large Greek/English families, but logistical issues (multi-step marriage registration across provinces and embassies, plus a typhoon scare) led them to instead marry at Port Phillip Estate near Lauren's parents.
While working as a sommelier at The Botanical restaurant (which later went into receivership), Jordan served a wealthy regular (associated with the Specsavers owner) who would buy $2,000–$3,000 bottles of Lafite Rothschild, drink them alone over two hours, and leave Jordan half a glass each time.

Yes, episode 660 opened up a phone number live on air and took calls from a Microsoft Teams representative named Russ, a photographer named Ramble, and friends Gemma Watts and Jordan Michaelides.
From episode 660→Jordan hosts Uncommon, a guest interview podcast released around Tuesdays/Wednesdays with a new guest each episode, structured in a biographical format that aims to cover angles not already explored in other interviews with that guest.
From episode 588→Jordan had a panic disorder that manifested in his digestive tract, called visceral hypersensitivity, causing anxiety-driven dry mouth and a tic around eating. He treated it with 20mg of fluoxetine (Prozac) and about 20 counselling sessions.
From episode 588→It ranks shows by average weekly downloads (Monday–Sunday) over a 4-week reporting period per IAB guidelines. Josh and Jordan note radio networks can game this by increasing episode frequency or splitting one show into multiple smaller feed items to double download counts without real audience growth.
From episode 588→Mentioned on 11 episodes Jordanwasn’t on.
Referenced as someone Josh had technical/communication issues with during the 24-hour stream (vMix management).
