Mike had been introduced to Phoebe in the ninth season of the show, when Joey forgot he was supposed to find Phoebe a double date and decided to shout for a random guy called "Mike" in the coffee shop instead.
Mike sa s Phoebe zoznámil v deviatej sérii, keď Joey zabudol, že mal nájsť Phoebe priateľa na dvojité rande a tak len zakričal na náhodného muža „Mike“ v kaviarni.
