0

3.78 - 3.96 Ayesha Curry

Friendly.

0

4 - 23.928 Stephen Curry

But all our conversations in high school were about either church or where you going on Wednesday or Canadian candy. It was like, talk about sweet tooth stuff. So no. It was no. No rap. No, no. I don't know if I didn't have any game or if she was nervous or like vice versa. Neither one of us really kind of, it was just, you know.

0

24.068 - 30.156 Ayesha Curry

I feel like this is something that gets misconstrued. Okay. Publicly, let's clear it up.

0

35.975 - 44.689 Craig Robinson

This episode is brought to you by Chase Home Lending and Theraflu. Well, it's been a while since I've seen you.

44.91 - 47.013 Michelle Obama

It feels like a whole year.

47.053 - 48.275 Craig Robinson

Yeah, you doing okay?

48.355 - 48.956 Michelle Obama

Doing fine.

49.157 - 50.178 Craig Robinson

That's good. You look good.

Chapter 2: What insights do Ayesha and Stephen share about their 15-year marriage?

549.753 - 552.077 Stephen Curry

But then, you know, it would flip too.

0

552.498 - 553.18 Unknown

Yeah, it would flip.

0

553.38 - 579.117 Stephen Curry

Every six months, I'd be like, nah, I'm off of it because, you know, the schedules are crazy. Yeah, yeah. The juggling of the three kids. And then... She had some rough pregnancies too. So it was a part of the consideration of putting her through something as severe. Even with our third kid, Cannon, she had hyperemesis pretty much the whole time. And so that was another consideration. But

0

579.265 - 591.496 Craig Robinson

And just so people know, because we can do some education on that front, because that, you know, more and more women, particularly women of color. Yes. Can you talk, do you feel comfortable talking a bit about?

0

591.516 - 614.205 Ayesha Curry

Of course, yeah. I feel like with the four kids, I maybe am well-versed. Yes, yes. But you're speaking to the hyperemesis, right? Yes. So it's interesting, especially as a Black woman within our community, it's, oftentimes the pain, the sickness is kind of written off within the healthcare system.

614.265 - 624.057 Ayesha Curry

And so women will go in and won't be taken seriously because they'll look at you and be like, well, you don't look like you're in pain or you don't look like something's wrong.

624.097 - 626.58 Craig Robinson

And when you say pain, what were you experiencing?

626.6 - 643.338 Ayesha Curry

Just constant. On top of the dehydration, just constant sickness. It's essentially morning sickness all day amplified times 10. Oh. And sometimes your blood pressure can... Throughout the duration of the pregnancy. Throughout the entire pregnancy.

643.479 - 643.579

Yeah.

Chapter 3: How did Ayesha and Stephen get involved in the animated movie GOAT?

1375.077 - 1375.799 Ayesha Curry

Were you shy?

0

1376.26 - 1377.763 Stephen Curry

Oh, for sure. For sure.

0

1378.064 - 1387.564 Ayesha Curry

Would you say that, Aisha? He didn't come across. I'm shy. And I'm an introvert. He didn't come across that way at all.

0

1388.084 - 1394.01 Craig Robinson

What was he like? Was he Mr. Talking charisma walking around?

0

1394.03 - 1409.447 Ayesha Curry

Yeah, he talked a lot. Super confident. Very charismatic. Very knowledgeable. About what? Just a cool... Any and everything. Like something to say about any subject matter. Oh, so he was opinionated. He could hold a conversation really well.

1409.908 - 1411.189 Stephen Curry

Yeah.

1411.388 - 1436.388 Ayesha Curry

But he was funny. And I think that that was the most important thing because going into us hanging out, we had never really hung out before. And so going in on our own. And so going into that day, I didn't know who I was picking up. I picked him up in my 90s. And I didn't know who I was going to get. And it was the second he got in the car. It just felt like we were best friends.

1436.588 - 1441.275 Ayesha Curry

And we've literally been together since that day. That's cool.

1442.497 - 1444.139 Stephen Curry

Shout out to what was that? 2008?

Chapter 4: What is the story behind the Curry's partnership with PLEZi Nutrition?

2142.348 - 2163.522 Michelle Obama

0

2233.363 - 2256.428 Michelle Obama

Plus, fast shipping and assembly options to keep it simple. For me, my style is pretty mid-century modern. Clean lines, warm tones, functional but comfortable. I used Wayfair for a small spring reset, lighter bedding, a couple of accent pieces for the living room, and finally upgrading my work-from-home setup with a better desk and chair.

0

2257.269 - 2281.556 Michelle Obama

What made it simple was how easy it was to narrow everything down. You can filter by style, price, size, whatever matters most. And the reviews are super helpful.

2317.12 - 2329.74 Craig Robinson

I want to ask particularly you, How you doing? I mean... How am I doing? Yes. Because you have a lot on your plate. Yes. And you're doing it well.

2330.421 - 2355.379 Ayesha Curry

Thank you. I had more on my plate. And it came to a head where I was like, okay... I got to lay it all out and figure out what do I really love? What is important to me? What do I value? And so I've like really streamlined things, I'd say over the past three, four years. But I'm doing really well. I feel like I'm kind of in a…

2355.359 - 2360.106 Ayesha Curry

I don't want to say the word smooth sailing because I don't want to jinx myself in the parenting department.

Chapter 5: How do Ayesha and Stephen balance their individual and joint careers?

2849.916 - 2850.858 Craig Robinson

He wants to rap.

0

2852.622 - 2863.716 Stephen Curry

There's a little bit more on the nose for the culinary kind of connection for Carol the diner. But that whole, I don't know how you felt from the voice acting perspective. It was so much fun.

0

2863.736 - 2877.972 Ayesha Curry

It's so different from being on your traditional set. There's a lot that goes into the voice work. I wanted to have a different voice so badly. You wanted to completely change your voice.

0

2877.992 - 2881.837 Michelle Obama

So what would have been your voice? I want to hear what you wanted.

0

2883.178 - 2907.294 Ayesha Curry

I gave them a sample and they looked at me after and they were like, just, I think your regular voice will suffice. What was it? I wanted to be like, you don't get it. Or maybe have a Jamaican accent and be like, hey, why? Welcome, welcome. They were like, no.

2907.314 - 2935.274 Craig Robinson

They were like, no. Your regular voice is great. Thank you. Well, your regular voice was great. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Way to go. All right. Just another thing on the caps. How is it working together? I mean, I work with my husband sometimes. You know, I mean, you are essentially two principals. Okay. Right. I mean, it's not like Aisha is your supporting cast.

2935.314 - 2962.106 Craig Robinson

She's got her own thing. Maybe I should ask Aisha. Yeah. How do you, you know, how do you break through the noise of him? Yeah. As you were working to assert Would you want your vision to stay seen in it all? Because you have definitely done that. And I know it's more than a notion to do that.

2962.447 - 2995.848 Ayesha Curry

Yeah, I think that's an interesting question. Very multi-pronged. But I think, do I like working with him? Absolutely. I love it. We shot a show years ago called About Last Night. And we had so much fun. on set together. I think where it gets dicey for me is where I never want to feel like I'm inserting myself or like just being thrown into the mix.

2995.969 - 3017.977 Ayesha Curry

I think because I work so hard and sometimes I do feel like I have a point to prove. And so I like to be able to kind of stand on my own two feet sometimes. But I feel like he's always been so gracious about either bringing me along or hyping me up or like truly putting me on a pedestal even when I don't want to be up there.

Chapter 6: What parenting strategies do the Currys use for their children?

3651.515 - 3673.603 Ayesha Curry

And so I think my opinion would be to realize, separate everything into these separate cups and realize when you're pouring into that cup, it's just that cup in that moment. And to try and tune everything else out, get to it when you need to get to it so that you can fully give yourself to whatever it is that you're focusing on at that time, whether it's

0

3673.583 - 3685.618 Ayesha Curry

you know, at the hospital or with your mom or with the kids or whatever else it is you're doing, I think there will be so much peace of mind if you can just compartmentalize those moments.

0

3687.461 - 3711.146 Stephen Curry

You got to applaud her and her... For sure. Yes. The responsibility that she's carrying for so many people that she knows and she doesn't know or she's beating on a daily basis at her work. Have grace with yourself too, I'd say too. For sure. Because there's days where you don't feel like you're killing it. Probably the days that you're killing it the most.

0

3711.166 - 3714.872 Ayesha Curry

Yeah. But it's also okay not to kill it. That's true.

0

3714.972 - 3726.709 Stephen Curry

That's true. But having grace with yourself, I guess, is the biggest piece of... Yeah. And hopefully she can set healthy boundaries for herself as she goes to aspire for...

3727.583 - 3728.925 Ayesha Curry

What does that mean?

3729.606 - 3751.136 Stephen Curry

People should be able to support her and her endeavors as well in the sense of like, I don't know how much her mom reaches out or feels like it's maybe a burden at times or maybe not. But if there's moments where she can have the space to go after the things that she wants to. And she creates that room for herself.

3751.156 - 3766.703 Stephen Curry

The boundaries are that people respect that and allow her to, you know, go pursue what she wants to and that it's okay. Even if somebody else gets the short end of the stick for a day or a week or a month. That's kind of, it's not a bad thing.

3766.683 - 3776.319 Ayesha Curry

Actually, I think I read that in your first book and you said, say no, they will be okay. And we'll move on. That's exactly, yeah.
