What challenges do Ryan Michelle Bathe and Sterling K. Brown face in their long-term relationship?
Yeah. You know? May I ask you a question that will probably be cut out of the podcast? No. Oh, yes. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. To get real for a second, because I think Ryan and I had this conversation before, too. If kids were not a part of the equation in terms of, like, do you think that some of the tough times may have led to a separation that didn't? That's a good question. No, no, no, no. Here's what I think. This episode is brought to you by Shift. Hey, little girl.
How do Ryan and Sterling manage their careers alongside family life?
Hi, Craig. Craigy Craig. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Once again, still enjoying our new IMO set. I know. Feeling pretty professional here in our new studios. It's great. It's great and comfortable. Really comfortable. It is. It is. The offices look great.
What insights do they share about communication during tough times?
Mm-hmm. And they're comfortable and the studio is comfortable. I mean, it's just, it's incredible. And we're not even where we're going to be. We still got a little more to do. This is just the beginning. Just the beginning. Speaking of comfort, where are you staying in this go round? I'm staying in an Airbnb once again here and really in a nice place that's about 20 minutes away. And listen to this. I had such a good customer service experience there. Tell me more. So, you know, we went to dinner. We had a family get together. Yeah, we went out.
How do they navigate disagreements in their marriage?
Last night. And Aaron and I, my 13-year-old, we get back to the Airbnb. And the lock is one of these, you know, you got to figure out what the code is. And the numbers aren't always the same. And I'm like, I mess it up. And we'd lock ourselves out. Oh, I didn't know that. Locked ourselves out. Called the host. Uh-huh. Oh, and he was like, oh, just give me a minute. And he hit a few buttons and the door opened and we were able to get in as I was about to panic that we were going to be locked out for the night. Really good experience. That's really good. Really good customer experience.
What role does vulnerability play in their relationship?
Well, I'm glad you're comfortable that Airbnb is still hooking you up. Yeah, yeah. They're right along with us. A great partnership. So, you know, we're enjoying it and really appreciate it. Well, I am excited, as always, for today's guests. And as folks can see, we've got two chairs here. So before we bring out Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathé, I want to... do a little bit of an intro for our newfound friends here. So, well, not so newfound because you've met Sterling before, but... We go way back. Sterling is an Academy Award nominee and a three-time Emmy Award winning actor. That's bad. That's some tough stuff for a brother, you know? He currently stars and executive produces the hit Hulu series, Paradise.
And let me go on record by saying, you know me...
How do they support each other's creative endeavors?
If it's not a sports thing, I'm probably not going to try and sit and binge watch it, right? Yeah, you're pretty limited in that way. Let me tell you. So in preparation for this, you know, what I try and do, I try and watch a... You hadn't been watching Paradise? I have not been watching Paradise, but let me tell you the story. Oh, man, what a... I'm watching it. What a stooge. So as part of the research, I start to watch it, and I'm watching it, and I'm like, huh, okay. And I get to the end of the first... Mm-hmm. The first episode. And I was like, all right, let me just real quickly watch the second one. And then it was like, let me just watch the third one. And then I look up and I was supposed to pick Austin up from school.
I left the babies. This is like, oh, Jesus, haven't eaten yet.
What advice do they have for couples facing similar struggles?
No, paradise will do that. It'll mess you up. Mess your life up. You go in. No one told me about that. And it doesn't. It just like sucks you in. It just sucks you right in. And you can't let go. And you're mad at everybody. And then... And you know me, I'm a real snob because I was watching the first episode. I was like, well, this is just your run of the mill so-and-so. And then it got right to the end and I was like, Oh, okay.
What lessons can be learned from their experiences as a power couple?
Oh, this is different. Okay. Yes, yes. Okay. But I digress. I digress. And Sterling has also starred in an executive produce. I should be calling him Mr. EP when he comes out here.
