Why Mick Molloy decided to get a vasectomy

Sorry ladies your hour is up, Melbourne’s longest running bachelor Mick Molloy will no longer be able to be your baby daddy.

His words not ours.

Molloy revealed he went to get a vasectomy on Thursday, although the comedian first tried to pull one off by saying he was getting surgery for a, er, reduction.

“It just gets out of hand, unyielding, large and not comfortable,” Molloy told his enthralled listeners on Triple M’s Mick and MG breakfast show.

“All right, no, that’s not it. I am going into hospital today. And I apologise that it’s happening during the show. But it’s a big one fellas and girls. I’m sorry to say it’s the snip.”

“I’ve tried to think no, no, you can’t, you owe it to the world to produce as many little Mickey’s as possible. But something’s changed lately.”

Molloy joked it was seeing his 10-year-old twin boys running around that made him sit back and think: “Good lord. No more. This has to stop.”

“You have got to cut off the branch to save the tree. So I’m going in for the full stock take,” he continued.

“So this is your last chance. If any ladies out there want me to be their baby dada. You’ve got about an hour. Meet me in the Triple M carpark.”

Molloy is certainly not the only homegrown star to share their snip stories.

In 2015 David Hughes penned a long essay and selfie from the hospital bed about his “shock” snip, after discovering his wife had booked him in for the surgery without his knowledge.

Karl Stefanovic talked about his snip so much it resulted in headlines pleading for him to find another subject.

But more headlines got up when The Today Show host later revealed had it reversed. Again too much information, public service announcement, or too many long hours to fill on air. You decide.
