Former First Lady Michelle Obama made a playful comment on her podcast that caught people's attention. She joked about how fun it would be to be single and get the chance to stay at the home of Airbnb co-founder and CEO, Brian Chesky. Chesky recently listed his actual home on Airbnb, where he stays with guests when they visit.
He shared that his place includes homemade chocolate chip cookies, fresh coffee, a friendly golden retriever, and even workout sessions-- though he joked they come after eating cookies. The listing has been so popular that his weekends were fully booked before he even made the post public. He said he plans to open more weekends later this year.
Starting today, my home is now on Airbnb (yes, this is my actual home and I’ll be there when guests are here)https://t.co/6XXFA7GNZ6 pic.twitter.com/xtKeJYIVrS

Michelle Obama hosted Chesky on her podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother, Craig Robinson. She mentioned that she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, consider Chesky a close friend. She even said, "If I had a son, I’d want him to be Brian."
During the podcast, she welcomed Chesky warmly and joked about how they should talk like they’re just chatting over dinner. When Chesky described how he personally hosts his Airbnb guests and bakes cookies for them, Michelle teasingly asked why she hadn’t gotten any. Chesky replied that she’d have to book a stay at his place to get some.
Single women might jump at the chance to stay...
As the conversation turned to Chesky’s personal life, Michelle joked about how single women might jump at the chance to stay with him. Her brother Craig laughed and warned Brian not to feel pressured by the matchmaking talk. Chesky revealed that Michelle and Barack had actually tried to set him up before. Michelle admitted she’s very interested in helping with his love life.
When Craig asked how good Barack is at matchmaking, Chesky didn’t give a clear answer but said Barack is definitely involved and has given him a lot of dating advice.
