Michelle Obama playfully called out husband Barack Obama for his habit of running late in the debut episode of her new podcast with her elder brother, Craig Robinson. Michelle jokingly shares how Obama has a habit of last-minute delays, be it heading to the bathroom or searching for his glasses right when it’s time to leave, offering a rare glimpse into their marriage of over three decades.
After the success of The Michelle Obama Podcast, the former first lady of US is back with IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson. The podcast has a lot of buzz around it considering Michelle will be back in limelight after months of silence and amid rumours of divorce with husband Barack. The first two episodes, including an introduction and an interview with actress Issa Rae, have released on Wednesday.
“I got this husband who’s like, when it’s time to leave, it’s three o’clock, he’s getting up and going to the bathroom!” Michelle Obama continued. “And I was like, ‘Dude, dude, like three o’clock departure means you’ve done all that,’ you know? It’s like, don’t start looking for your glasses, you know, at the three o’clock departure.” However, Michelle said that Obama has “improved over 30 years of marriage.”
Michelle, who seems to be good with time management, says she has instilled the same punctuality in her daughters. “If they’re doing anything with me, they are early, so they’ve learned how to snap to it,” she said.
