  • -Welcome back, everybody. We are hanging out with Michelle Obama.

  • Now, Michelle, since so many people look up to you,

  • I thought that you could help settle

  • some of the biggest and most important debates of all time.

  • We did this with President Obama, and it was a lot of fun.

  • Are you ready for this?

  • -I will do my best.

  • -Let's do it. It is time for "Michelle Obama Settles It."

  • -♪ Michelle Obama settles it

  • Michelle Obama settles it

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Alright. Here we go. Ready?

  • Is iced coffee only for the summer?

  • -Yes. Absolutely.

  • -Yeah, I kind of -- Yeah.

  • Yeah. I agree. -I mean --

  • -There you go. Next.

  • Is it wrong to re-gift?

  • -It is. -Yeah, I agree.

  • -You know, it's kind of lazy.

  • -It is, right? Yeah. Yeah. I agree.

  • And if you don't want it, you can donate it or something,

  • but don't re-gift it. -Yeah, yeah, give it away,

  • but don't -- you know, literally give it away.

  • Don't gift it away.

  • -I totally agree with you.

  • Is it rude to respond to a text with "K"?

  • -It depends on the age. Right?

  • If you respond to young people with more than "K,"

  • then they think you're mad at them. You know?

  • If you use words and punctuations,

  • I was told, "Mom, why are you mad at me?

  • You used a period."

  • And it's like, "Well, that's called grammar."

  • -Alright, a lot of people are talking about this next one.

  • Middle part or side part?

  • -Uh, duh!

  • -Yeah, of course.

  • Side part, yeah. I agree.

  • This one may be controversial.

  • Best meal -- Breakfast, lunch or dinner?

  • I think I know your answer.

  • -Dinner.

  • -Yeah, of course.

  • It's dinner. Yeah. -You think that? Yeah. Yeah.

  • Breakfast and lunch are throwaways.

  • -Right? They're fine.

  • Lunch is definitely just all business for me.

  • -Yeah, yeah.

  • -Breakfast now and then.

  • But dinner, you have memories.

  • You have conversations. -Yeah, yeah.

  • -It's bigger. -You can have wine.

  • -You can have wine. You can have a cocktail.

  • It's unbelievable.

  • Oh, yeah, dinner all the way. I knew it.

  • Next up, I know the answer to this.

  • Pancakes or waffles?

  • -Waffles!

  • -You have to, yeah. You have to, yeah.

  • -Yeah. -Yeah, you're right.

  • Should you wet your toothbrush before putting toothpaste on it?

  • -Absolutely.

  • -Yeah. Yes! You --

  • You're going to go dry in there?

  • -Yeah. You know, you can cut up your gums and --

  • -It's disrespectful to your teeth.

  • -Too harsh. It's too harsh.

  • -It's too much. Too much -- Yeah, exactly.

  • Should you floss before or after brushing?

  • -I floss after, because that's what the dentist does

  • when you go in for a cleaning. They always floss last.

  • So I figure they know something, so I'm going to do what they do.

  • -Yeah. I'm trying to think of what I do.

  • Yeah, I guess so.

  • -But have you been to the dentist?

  • You been to the dentist lately?

  • -I love going to the dentist.

  • -What's wrong with you?

  • -I love it. I think it's -- I feel great when I leave.

  • I feel -- Clean teeth.

  • I love it. I don't need gas -- I'm so good.

  • I love it. -Really? That's so cute.

  • -I love it.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Next up, oh, next one is about "The Crown."

  • Season 1 or Season 3?

  • -Season 1. Season 1. That was where it all began.

  • That's where "The Crown" became "The Crown," after that season.

  • -Alright, who gets to pick the music, driver or passenger?

  • -Driver, all the way.

  • You're doing the work.

  • You get to control the sound system.

  • -No.

  • -You -- No?

  • -I think passenger, 'cause then you can get in there there

  • and you start looking through things

  • and you start making a good deejay set list.

  • -No, but I want the driver happy and awake.

  • -Yeah, I totally -- I take it back, yes.

  • Alright. Next, corn.

  • On the cob or off the cob?

  • -On the cob!

  • -On the cob -- This is insane.

  • I'm sorry to even ask that question.

  • Of course. No question.

  • Next, we have, "Is a wok a pot or a pan?"

  • -Pan. -Pan. Yeah.

  • This is the best question coming up.

  • Ready for this? This is the best question coming up.

  • Better movie, "Taxi" or "Fever Pitch"?

  • -"Taxi."

  • But I've seen neither.

  • -What are you talking about?

  • You -- No, don't you even dare.

  • What are you -- I was --

  • -I've been busy! I've been busy!

  • -It's me and Queen Latifah!

  • You had to --

  • -That's why I picked it, "Taxi."

  • I'm sure I would like that one.

  • -Oh, my goodness. You haven't seen either.

  • Can I tell you a quick story?

  • -Please. -I got a --

  • Ann Curry brought me -- was on Air Force One,

  • and she brought back

  • the movie selection card from Air Force One,

  • because "Taxi" was on there.

  • And so I was very excited.

  • -So you just assume because Ann Curry had it on Air Force One

  • that everybody saw it?

  • -Well, I'm assuming you were probably there,

  • and that was one of your options.

  • The whole family loves "Taxi."

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • I got to get you a DVD. -That's why it was in the back

  • where you all would sit. It wasn't up in our cabin.

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • Okay. Here's a good one here.

  • How do you pronounce the word at the bottom of my screen?

  • -"Geero."

  • -Yes! That is correct!

  • That -- I just learned that.

  • I would say "jairo." -As opposed to "jairo"?

  • -"Jairo." -A "jeero"?

  • That's how my dad said it.

  • -It's "geero," is right. -We're gonna get some "jairos."

  • -It's "geero" -- Yep, I used to say "jairo."

  • And it -- You're right.

  • And finally, better way to end an e-mail,

  • sincerely or yours truly?

  • -Ooh.

  • I usually say "all the best."

  • But I'd say maybe sincerely to keep it short.

  • -You guys heard it here first.

  • All the best to you.

  • My thanks to Michelle Obama

  • for settling these important debates.

  • Her show, "Waffles + Mochi," streaming now on Netflix.
