Obama's Brother-in-Law Craig Robinson Likes 'R-Rated' Rap, Has Never Googled an Ex

(April 24) -- Craig Robinson used to be just a basketball coach. Then his brother-in-law got himself a job that comes with a rather large house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. For the premier of AOL News' Weekend Questionnaire, the coach of the Oregon State men's basketball team, brother of Michelle Obama and author of the new book "A Game of Character" reveals his soft spot for sappy sports movies, his politically incorrect taste in music and why you shouldn't try to sneak your overstuffed basket into the express checkout lane if he's standing in line behind you.

Where are you right now?
I am at the National Public Radio station at Navy Pier in Chicago, about to do an interview about my book.

You're leaving the office on a Friday and you have the weekend off. What song do you put on in the car?
Earth, Wind & Fire, "Getaway."

Describe your perfect weekend.
Driving to the Oregon coast with my family, with the music on and planning on spending the weekend at the coast, having a nice seafood dinner.

What are you actually doing this weekend?
I'm doing the book tour. I'll be flying from Chicago to San Francisco.

If I could grant you one superpower, flight or invisibility, which would you choose?
I think I would choose flight. I think being able to fly would be the coolest thing. Being invisible is not my thing; it's espionage-type stuff.

If you had to enter a competitive eating competition, what would you want the food to be?
I find those things so disgusting. But if I had to do it, potato chips. Barbecue potato chips.

Have you ever cried during a sports movie?
Oh yeah. The first movie I ever cried at was "Brian's Song." That's how moved I was with that movie, I still remember crying.

If you could only thank your parents for one thing, what would it be?
I would thank them for their love that they showed, because their love enabled me to have huge self-esteem.

Would you be happy if your kids turned out just like you?
I would be happy if my kids turned out just like me.

What do you buy the leader of the free world for his birthday?
Nothing. [Laughs.] You know, I would buy him a board game that he could play with his family.

If you had to live without one of your five senses, what would you choose?
If I say smell, that affects your taste. So I'm going to say taste, so I don't get the two-for-one.

Have you ever Googled an ex-girlfriend?
No, I've never Googled an ex-girlfriend.

What's the last lie you told?
Probably about how much I weigh.

Do you have any recurring dreams?
Yes, I have a recurring dream of being late. It's whatever I'm doing. If it's basketball season, I'm late for the game. I had a dream about being late for this book tour. Whatever I'm doing, my recurring dream is being late for it.

Do you have any regrets?
I have an 18-year-old and a 14-year-old, and now I have a 3-month-old. I regret the fact that with the two older kids, I was hustling too much to really enjoy their early childhood.

What's always in your refrigerator?
Orange juice.

You're in the express lane at the grocery store. Do you secretly count the number of items people in front of you have?
Absolutely. I always do that.

Would your mother approve of what you're wearing right now?
She would. I'm wearing a dark blue suit, a rose-colored shirt and no tie.

If you had to enter a talent show, what would your talent be?
My talent would be sleight-of-hand magic, making coins disappear and stuff.

What would I be surprised to find on your iPod?
Hard-core hip-hop, like Mike Jones, Young Dro, sort of the more R-rated lyric guys. Jay-Z's a little mainstream. I like the more hard-core guys.

Do you type with two fingers, or all 10?
All 10.

Do you have any pets?
Two cats.

Do you let dogs kiss you?
No.

Thanks for your time. Good luck with the book tour.
No, thank you. That was like therapy. You should start charging people to do this.
