-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 ♪

[ 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.
