Who are the hosts and guest on this episode?

Michelle Obama 0:00
You know, it's sort of innocently sweet and it's not so hard over the head. Like, can you stand alone in a room? That's why I like the question because I would ask that all wrong.
Unknown Female Guest 0:09
Right.
Michelle Obama 0:09
That's just the thing.
Unknown Female Guest 0:10
I would ask that same question. Are you an insecure trifling ass? That is exactly right.
Michelle Obama 0:14
Are you so insecure that you can't handle a strong woman?
Unknown Female Guest 0:17
Are you uncomfortable with my bigness?
Michelle Obama 0:19
That's right.
Unknown Male Guest 0:20
I would ask it all wrong. Right. Because I am a boss.
Craig Robinson 0:25
I am a boss.
Unknown Male Guest 0:26
I'm a boss. Are you okay being the belly? Can you level up? Can you level up?
Craig Robinson 0:31
And then he's running away going, I don't know.
Unknown Male Guest 0:33
He's aggressive.
Unknown Male Guest 0:47
How you doing?
Michelle Obama 0:48
I'm doing great. Yeah, feeling good. Another day. Alive. We're getting to that age where, you know.
Unknown Male Guest 0:57
No, we're not.
Michelle Obama 0:57
I'm just, just blessed to have woken up. You don't think we're at that age? You're older than me.
Craig Robinson 1:05
Well, we are.
Michelle Obama 1:07
We're in our 60s, my friend.
Craig Robinson 1:08
I know, but I'm hoping I got a good 20 more left. That's what I'm shooting for, at least.
Michelle Obama 1:14
But, you know, we're at the age now where, you know, it's not so tragic.
Craig Robinson 1:18
I know. Well, did you get enough rest last night, old lady?
Michelle Obama 1:22
I did. I did. I, you know, the girls came over for dinner and I was so tired that I left them at the table, which is unusual because I love hanging out with my girls, but I was that sleepy. I was like, you know what? Mom's going to bed. You can sit here and talk to your dad. But yeah, I got to bed early and had plenty of sleep. How's your Airbnb feeling?
Craig Robinson 1:44
Oh my gosh.
Michelle Obama 1:45
Still happy with your situation?
Craig Robinson 1:47
I'm so happy that I did not go to dinner last night. I left here.
Michelle Obama 1:51
Just to stay in your Airbnb house?
Craig Robinson 1:52
Just to be able to chill in my Airbnb in West Hollywood and... Guess who visited me this morning to do their laundry? Who? Leslie. My daughter's in town here and she came over to bring her laundry to do.
Michelle Obama 2:07
Why does she have laundry? How long has she been here?
Craig Robinson 2:10
Because she works out every day.
Michelle Obama 2:12
Oh, okay.
Craig Robinson 2:12
So she had a whole bag full of gym clothes and underwear and stuff and just put it in. And I was like, yeah, come on over. And then we had breakfast and... And then she went to meetings.
Michelle Obama 2:22
Yeah.
Craig Robinson 2:23
And I think she's going to come stay with me tonight.
Michelle Obama 2:25
I'm learning a lot about the Airbnb life since we don't do that.
Craig Robinson 2:29
Since you don't get to do it.
Michelle Obama 2:30
But the girls do. Malia and Sasha, whenever they're traveling.
Craig Robinson 2:34
And so are our kids. Avery and Leslie and Emily and Elena, they have no qualms about it. Let's go. Let's find a place.
Michelle Obama 2:42
It's really a different intergenerational use. I mean, young people, they like being in a home. Well, a lot of times when they're traveling, they're sharing with their friends. They're dividing up a house and, you know, so.
Craig Robinson 2:55
And I find I've gotten to like it now. So, you know, I was a strictly hotel guy. Yeah, yeah. Maid service every day. I wanted to be able to go down to the bar and not have to drive anywhere. I wanted all that stuff. But then the amenities of having your own place that's like a house and you can sort of live the way you normally live is much more appealing.
Michelle Obama 3:19
Well, it sounds like it'd be a good girls trip, a friend gathering session or, you know, a little... But anyway, well, I'm glad you are comfortable in your Airbnb, mister. So you'll never stay with me ever again, I guess.
Craig Robinson 3:35
No, I would not do that.
Michelle Obama 3:37
Have we been displaced?
Craig Robinson 3:39
You have not been displaced.
Michelle Obama 3:40
Oh, good.
Craig Robinson 3:41
You have not been displaced. It's, you know, but. You might want to come visit me every now and then now when I'm in town.
Michelle Obama 3:48
Would I mess up your mojo if I showed up with my motorcade in your house driving up the driveway?
Craig Robinson 3:53
It wouldn't mess up my mojo. It might mess up the owner's mojo.
Michelle Obama 3:59
It might not mess up.

What personal dating experiences do the hosts share?

Craig Robinson 4:01
Well, maybe.
Michelle Obama 4:01
Maybe I'll stop by and see all your mini pools in your house.
Craig Robinson 4:05
Yes. Yes.
Michelle Obama 4:07
Well, what are we talking about today?
Craig Robinson 4:08
So we're talking about dating today.
Michelle Obama 4:12
I love talking about dating because I haven't done it in decades.
Craig Robinson 4:19
And, you know, when we were preparing for this, I was asked the question, when we were younger, did we talk about dating? And I have to say, I don't remember talking about dating much at all when we were younger. Right.
