Even the first family has Wi-Fi problems.

In an interview with CBS' Gayle King on Super Bowl Sunday, President Obama and the first lady, Michelle Obama, talked about everything from Super Bowl traditions to advice for the next presidential couple.

But one part of the interview that stood out to Twitter users: The Wi-Fi dilemma.

King asked, "Is the water pressure good? Is there Wi-Fi? Does the toilet run in the Lincoln bedroom."

"You know that whole tech thing, we've been trying to get that straight for the next group of folks," President Obama replied. "This is an old building so there's a lot of dead spots where the WiFi doesn't work...no, actually it's an issue."

"The girls are frustrated sometimes," Michelle Obama added.

Even the White House has bad wifi so obviously the rest of us are screwed— Kate (@kt_messinaa) February 7, 2016

Other fun tidbits we learned from the interview:

-Lots of people hang out at the White House with the Obamas for the Super Bowl.

-The menu at the White House viewing party: Pizza, nachos, a "little vegetable tray that no one touches."

-POTUS said they don't "yell that much" at the TV since the Bears haven't been in the Super Bowl in a while. But FLOTUS said, "if it's a good play, we'll all scream."

-FLOTUS is as pumped about Coldplay and Beyonce as we are.

-The Obamas are still #relationshipgoals.
