More about what Michelle Obama said about Stephen A Smith on her podcast

On the July 31 episode of her IMO Podcast, Michelle Obama brought up Stephen A Smith during a conversation with her brother and co-host, Craig Robinson. The episode also featured guests Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. The group first started talking about how there was no real difference between the stars of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and the different hosts on the various programs on ESPN. Michelle Obama said:

"Now they think that sports is better than reality TV I was like, 'It's the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it's like watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

She further made a comment on Stephen A Smith, saying:

It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other, and they don’t get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he’s just like every other talk show host."

This prompted Matt Rogers to comment on how perfect Stephen A Smith would be as "real housewife," because of his tendency to have verbal disagreements with other co-hosts. He said:

"He'd be a great Real Housewife."

Michelle Obama agreed and further added:

"So that's why I'm like, what's the difference? It's just sociological drama. I mean, the fact that people over seasons of working together still can't get along. They still have the same arguments, and it's not just women, but this happens in sports, too. I find it fascinating."

Fans loved Michelle Obama's comments and the way she highlighted Stephen A Smith's on-screen persona when he appeared on ESPN. This fan wrote:

"If he responds, he better do it respectfully."

Another person added:

"Mrs. Michelle is that girl."
