Obama chats about Pitbull, Flo Rida, and return of NFL
President Obama bantered with Miami-based radio host DJ Laz in an interview that aired Thursday, joking about prominent rappers and the return of the National Football League.
The radio host opened the conversation by saying he was "humbled" to have the president of the United States on his show.
“I’m the one who should be humbled," Obama replied, according to a transcript by the Miami Herald. "You’re big time. You’ve got Pitbull and Flo Rida and all these guys just beating a path to your door. And so I’m hoping I can get a little of that magic from you in this interview.”
“You’ve got to start with that Dolphins thing," Obama replied. The president then asked if Laz had seen any of the HBO miniseries "Hard Knocks" — a weekly documentary about the Dolphins' training camp.
"As I recall, you guys didn’t win any [games] in the preseason,” Obama joked.
"Now I’m getting ragged on by the president of the United States," Laz bemoaned.
"I’m just saying you brought it up," Obama said. "My Bears — I’m feeling pretty good about them.”
The president has raised eyebrows before for riffing on local sports teams. During a campaign fundraiser in June, Obama jokingly thanked Boston fans for trading his Chicago White Sox their All Star third baseman Kevin Youkilis.
