Michelle Talked About The Real Housewives On A Podcast

She Is So Much Fun To Listen To

Michelle recently appeared on a podcast,Follow The Fun With Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, and she was great company, really lighting up screens, as seen in the YouTube clip above, viaMichelle’s Instagram. The show she’s loving isNext Gen NYC. She talks about watching those"babies"in the video shown above.

The series premiered on June 02, 2025, andMichelle said that she’s watched two episodesof season 1 of the series. While she’s a big fan, the second installment hasn’t been confirmed yet, viaUS Magazine.The series features cast members who might be described as “nepo-babies” - of course, they aren’t that one-dimensional, or a smart woman like Michelle wouldn’t be watching.

Michelle, who is a truly amazing woman - down-to-earth, brilliant and confident - has no shame when it comes to settling down in front of the TV to enjoy the exploits of the children of Real Housewives cast members. These famous kids are really reality TV royalty. Michelle says she’s here to"educate"people about the entertainment value that these series provide.

Michelle shared exciting tidbits on the podcast, as seen above, including the fact that her husband Barack Obama will sometimes “razz” her about watching a series that clearly isn’t up his alley. She doesn’t care -Michelle’s proud to love what she loves. She’s not a pretentious woman.That’s why she’s telling the world about all that the reality TV genre offers.

Next Gen NYCdefinitely got some buzz, so it makes sense that Michelle is so passionate about the series. She knows a good thing when she sees it.

Michelle went to Princeton and Harvard Law. She rose up from Chicago’s South Side, becoming a First Lady that it was so easy to respect. No matter where a person leans politically, they’d be hard-pressed to argue that Michelle isn’t a formidable female. Bright and funny, she commands attention effortlessly - a benevolent queen who says that “culture is king.”

Our Take On Michelle’s Statements

Michelle’s Just Being Her Usual Honest Self

In the future, Michelle may share more facts about her passion for reality TV - housewives, their kids, and glitzy backdrops, including ritzy apartments. The reality stars she watches have money, just like she does, but money isn’t everything. Michelle knows that too. A moneyed life isn’t necessarily a perfect life. Everyone has their problems.

Fans who love Michelle might scoff at her passion forNext Gen NYC, but maybe they should give it a try. The series attracted over 5 million viewers when it aired - that’s a lot of fans.

She’s encouraging fans to enjoy the show without shame - and maybe, if this seasoned attorney’s convincing enough in her arguments, she can cajole her husband into watching with her. What would be really great is a Pillow Talk-style series featuring Barack and Michelle watching the series.

Imagine the wit, including the dry wisecracks that the very elegant man Brack is known for. He and Michelle’s zingers might be more fun than what’s happening on the show. Maybe the Next Gen NYC fan Michelle needs a reality series of her own, where Barack and her kids appear in certain scenes to add some spice.
