Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed in her new podcast that her husband's punctuality and ability to leave the house on time can sometimes be “he had to adjust.”
Well, Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what was “on time,” she told her brother, Craig Robinson. “IMO” during a podcast on wednesday. “I'm the time for this husband to leave – it's 3:00 – he's up and going to the bathroom.
The two brothers launched a podcast on Wednesday, offering advice to listeners and sharing personal anecdotes. In response to Obama's punctuality, Robinson said Barack was “at that island time.”
“Don't start looking for glasses when you leave,” the former first lady said. “But he has been married for over 30 years, and that was, 'You have to adjust.' ”
Happy birthday to his wife Michelle.

She also said she knows that if her daughters are doing something with her, they know they're early. Obama and Robinson also discussed their experiences with their parents who grew up.
“I'm not behind,” she said, adding, agreeing, “not Robinson's family.” The two also said early meant “on time” for them.
Robinson said his father, Fraser C. Robinson III, was ready for his family to go out very quickly.
“He kept pushing the departure time for the family outings. Well, we left at 3am and he sat there and said, 'Where are you guys?'

In the first episode of the podcast, the former First Lady revealed that she helped Robinson to convince Barak to support the run for the presidency.
“I mean, I knew Barack was smart and ambitious,” Obama said. “But you told me to support his run, and he was smart enough to know that he needed to come and sell you with an idea.”
She admitted that she was against him running at first, and said, “We did crazy enough.”

“Barak went from state senator to US senator. The next thing I know is, people said, 'This guy should run for president.' And you were like, 'Hmm, no, I wasn't doing that,'” Robinson explained, adding that Michelle wanted similar upbringing for the daughters she was with her father. “Barak has come to me. He seems like, 'I can't convince your sister to go with this.' And I, oh, what is he like?
Robinson told Barack he told Michelle he told him about it and if they put their mom, Marian Robinson, on the idea, Michelle might come. Their mother, Marian, passed away in May 2024 at the age of 86.
“But I think what pushed it to the top was persuading him not to punish him for being really good at what he's doing. It's like a guy fighting to go to the NBA. And it's not fair, and I spoke at the same time with you and mom, and both you sat there reasonably mad and said I was right,” Robinson added.
