Michelle Obama leaves no chances to roast her husband, and this time with ‘not having a son'
On the latest episode of her podcast 'Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast' (formerly titled 'IMO'), the former first lady sat down with her brother Craig Robinson and radio personality Angie Martinez to reflect on parenting, masculinity, and what life might've looked like if she and former President Barack Obama had a son. 'You should've threw a boy in the mix,' Martinez said playfully, alluding to Michelle's two daughters, Malia and Sasha. But Michelle didn't skip a beat. 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy,' she replied with a laugh. ALSO READ| Michelle Obama breaks silence on daughter Malia dropping her famous last name: 'Very sensitive' When Martinez asked why she never went for a third child, the 'Becoming' author quipped, 'Because he would've been a Barack Obama.' Martinez chimed in, 'Baby Barack — it would've been amazing!' 'Ooh, no, I would've felt for him,' she said. Her brother Craig added, 'She just borrowed our boys,' referencing his own children. Michelle agreed, saying, 'I got plenty.' 'I think Barack is just like you as a tremendous father, doing it in a lot of grandeur, right,' she added. Conveniently enough, the former First Lady's musings hinted at a possible obsession with the 32-year bond between her and Barack, which many speculated was in troubled waters. 'Teach [your son] about how to deal with the traffic stop, but also teach him how to communicate in a marriage and to be a listening father,' she expressed. Michelle also shared Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24, were young girls when their father became president, and they spent a huge portion of their growing up years inside the White House. 'I've loved every phase of parenting: I loved them when they were little babies, I loved them when they were walking and starting to talk, the teenage years were interesting in the White House,' Michelle said. ALSO READ| Michelle Obama calls out Ellen DeGeneres for making her do pushups as 'first lady' 'But I've loved every time with them — and watching them become their own people and make their own choices, and figure stuff out, and call me after they figure stuff out,' she added.

M&A News: Fox Corp (FOXA) Acquires Caliente TV
Media company Fox Corp (FOXA) has acquired Caliente TV, which is a sports streaming platform and TV channel, in order to strengthen its sports broadcasting footprint in Mexico. This acquisition gives Fox access to valuable broadcasting rights for major competitions like the UEFA Champions League, France's Ligue 1, and select Liga MX matches, which will allow it to meet the rising demand for premium sports content in the region. Confident Investing Starts Here: Following the acquisition, Fox plans to expand its offerings through a multi-platform strategy that includes launching a new pay TV channel and a subscription-based video-on-demand service. These services will complement Tubi, which is Fox's existing free and ad-supported streaming platform. Interestingly, Carlos Martinez, Fox's executive vice president and managing director for Latin America, will lead the rollout of these new plans in Mexico and Central America. It is worth noting that Martinez brings more than 30 years of experience in the Latin American broadcasting industry. While Fox did not disclose the financial details of the Caliente TV deal, the move is in line with its overall streaming strategy. Indeed, just last month, the company announced that Fox One, its new subscription streaming service, would debut before the start of the fall football season. The shift comes as Fox sees growing advertiser interest across its platforms—including Fox News, Fox Sports, and Tubi—which helped it surpass revenue expectations in its latest quarterly earnings. Is FOXA Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on FOXA stock based on seven Buys, seven Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average FOXA price target of $57.43 per share implies 5% upside potential.
