Michelle Obama criticizes Segway tours and reflects on marriage with Barack Obama
On June 19, 2025, Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, appeared on the Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, and playfully criticized one of Washington, D.C.’s most touristy trends: Segway tours.
The former First Lady complained about the slow speed of the electric scooters that are so popular in the tourist areas of Washington, D.C.
"They go so slow... it's just annoying," Obama remarked.
She suggested riders would be better off walking, noting:
"You know, we are dealing with an obesity crisis in the world, we meet people walking, and if you’re on a motorized thing that doesn’t move any faster than you walk, then I say, ‘Please please take the helmet off’ because you don’t need it on a Segway and just walk a little bit.”
