I agree to a large extent. Just thought it was a pretty weird video and worth a share given the topic.

However, even though one might make these verbal cock-ups (yep I said it) from time to time, I think it would be much less likely with a word you would say all the time like your own damn wife's name. Muscle memory and neural plasticity should take care of saying it correctly.

Also where does the 'k' sound come into "my wife" / "michelle"? And wouldn't it get pronounced as "mai-kel" at any rate? He just said "Michael", a man's name.

Given all that, I think it's a bit more telling than fabric folding in random ways.
