We're on set with Google today talking about our, our new Google Fitbit and Google Watch, all associated with the Google Health app that everybody should know about at this point. And this is a cool shoot because we're doing like a 30-year full circle moment. Back in 1996, me and Pops and Seth Curry did our first commercial for Burger King back in the day, and now we're in 2026 and we're doing another commercial with me and the originator. Pops is here doing his thing, so putting him through a nice workout. Can't wait to see it.
He has some big lines for a young guy, but he was camera He was made for moments like that. I could tell at that age, this guy's going to be good in any kind of pressure situation. But he killed it both days.
You're sizzling, Pops.
Works every time.
And action.
As Google's Performance Advisor, I have one simple mission, to help everyone have access to world-class health and fitness resources. The goal, to fit everything into this.
Oh, hey, Steph.
Sorry to interrupt. I just want to see if you want to grab breakfast.
Actually, let's test this out on the guy that still thinks he's in his prime. Right, Dad?
Me?
No, no, no, no.
I'm good over here, but thanks.
Oh, no. We're doing this.
Woo-hoo!
Hey. Anybody there?
Hi, I'm Eva Michon. Today we're doing a shoot where Dell Curry crashes Stephen Curry's Google shoot. And I think what we're getting at, at the heart of this story, is that Stephen cares about his dad. He wants his dad to live a long, healthy life, and this is also what he wants to pass on to the people who buy these products. I think at the heart of it, something very relatable to me, you know, you want your loved ones to be healthy, live a long time, so that's at the heart of what we're doing, but we're also making some fun, cinematic comedy that will be hopefully fun for people to watch everywhere. And action!
Someone swiped the 60s, so I'm just gonna grab these 30s 'Cause I love that number.
Slow and steady, Pops. You can just tap to change the weight.
Yay! I love that. That was perfect.
Is it black and white?
Color.
Color?
Uh, can you put your arms around each other? Look into each other's eyes. Amazing. Thank you.
We're gonna put them right here. Right here?
Yeah.
Okay. Oh, okay.
So where— Thought you could catch me slowing down, huh?
Never. Looks like our pace is a little hot, actually.
Taught you how to pace yourself, remember?
And then, Stephanie, we just hit you on that mark.
Yes.
Thank you.
I'll say that after I pass.
I think so. And action!
Thought you could catch me slowing down, huh?
Yeah, but your pace is kind of happening.
I taught you how to pace yourself, remember?
I can do this all day. But honestly, for me, Honestly, for me, it's about helping people get healthier, and knowing your metrics makes a difference whether you're just starting out or you already know what you're doing.
Great job. Stunning.
At me. See, I'm the director now. Yeah, yeah, we're running about a shutter 180, about 30 frames per second, running on a 28-volt battery in case you're wondering. Frame it up right, rule of thirds. There you go. And give them— look at— they can see, you know what I'm saying? This guy's made a couple movies before, just a couple.
Roll sound.
I like it, pops. You look good too.
Oh yeah, 113.
Uh-huh, 113.
Very quietly, Thomas. And action.
That's not bad. That's not bad at all.
Well, workouts aren't what they used to be, but I can still get it done.
Well, I know your jersey's in the rafters, but you never stop working on yourself.
What do you say we go get that breakfast and talk about it over there?
You're right, we earned that.
We? Okay, well, we not buying it. I'm buying you breakfast.
Let's cut, we'll reset. Cut, cut. Reset. Great. People love you. Audience love it. Anything else?

Thought you'd catch me slowing down, didn't you?
Never, never that. I forget the line already. I got it. Yes, thank you. What was it again?
Looks like your pace is a little hot.
Yes, thank you so much.
Not the room tone, but the wild lines.
I know, I was crazy last time. I don't even know if this story will land. The last time we had to shoot, I got room tone and wild lines confused, and they quieted the whole room for me to say something, and I just stood there like this for a solid 20 seconds.
We're just doing the line that you were doing on the treadmill.
Oh, I'm actually sick.
So this shot, you're, uh, you're knocking on that glass, and so you've got to project your voice a bit louder.
Okay.
So, uh, you know, you're trying to get their attention.
Watch now!
Watch now, last night's NBA highlights!
They just want to do one a little bit faster, Stephen.
Yes.
Ready? And nice and fast. Ready? And action!
Watch now, last night's NBA highlights!
Can you jump into frame with the ball? Ready?
And action! Watch now, last night's NBA highlights! That made me laugh, so I was gonna smile.
Ready?
So she's—
Okay, you're trying to get— there's somebody here, there's a girl behind this glass, and you're trying to get her attention.
Yes. Ready?
And action.
Watch now, last night's NBA highlights.
Good?
Yeah, it's a great note.
That's fine?
That's directing right there. It's a great note. Just bring something different out of you. There's a girl right here not looking at her phone, but you need her to pay attention to last night's NBA highlights.
So how would you perform that? Action.
Thank you, sir.
You did a great job.
Did you hear? Did you hear what she said?
Okay, I think behind you.
Okay.
Big problems, guys.
You could be. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
And a happy birthday to Paulie.
Carl, give me an outro.
2 and a half hour training session, 8 hours on his feet. The man is a specimen.
Are these hash browns for you or for him? Just checking in.
He's making sure I eat.
I eat like a bird.
My personal health assistant here is sending me notifications telling me I need to eat, basically slapping me in my face.
