    The 2:16-minute-long clip starts with Springsteen commenting about the silent nature of his father, and his idea about "masculinity."

  • "And I don't meet him until I'm ten years old," recalled Obama, terming his father "a stranger."

    Notably, the podcast title has been inspired by Springsteen's massively popular rock song Born in the USA, the melody of which plays in the background of the teaser.

    They also tried to remember the first time they met, which was during a 2008 campaign trial.
