In this informal, behind‑the‑scenes YouTube video, comedian/musician Rudy Mancuso hangs out with NBA star Stephen Curry, chatting about viral videos, family tattoos, their musical backgrounds, and spontaneously creating a short rap titled “5 Minutes from Home.” The conversation weaves playful banter about a popular Brita water‑bottle clip that boosted Curry’s online presence, a family tradition of getting their last name tattooed in Hebrew after the Warriors’ 2017 championship, and Curry’s brief drum‑lesson history. They discuss naming guitars, improvising a rap‑beat, and then head to a food truck where they order curry shrimp and plantains, reacting humorously to the spicy food. Throughout, the duo promotes a new collaborative track while showcasing their personalities, cultural references, and casual creative process.

My guy, how are you, man?
Doing good.
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
What, did you get taller since I saw you?
Uh, just put on a different suit, that's it. Okay, okay. Where are we going? We're gonna hit— I got a Sprinter over here. You should take a ride, maybe go hit a food truck or something. All right, I'm down. All right, let's do it.
Have you—
Hey, Rudy, there's a bunch of your fans out here. Oh, sorry about that, man. So, hey, not right now. It's my time with Rudy.
They seen our Brita video.
Yeah, they did. They were big fans.
First name Stephen, last name Curry. He came into my life, now everything is less blurry. Would you say that video took your career to another level?
I think it did. I mean, I haven't looked back since.
There weren't as many fans before that video, right? This is going hard part right now. That's what I'm saying. You're welcome, in a way.
Look at this. I know, huh? Hey, give it up. Get rid of that water bottle! Get rid of it! So, when I first heard about Rudy, it was from Vine. Yeah. My favorite, obviously, was when you did Mi Madre.
Yeah.
I don't know what it was about it. I used to try some of those stunts on my mom. Didn't really work out too well.
She's the best.
She's a good sport about it all.
Yeah.
A lot of that was real, man. A lot of it was not staged.
So, from the time Vine came on, did you envision all this? Oh, no.
I knew I always wanted to do this, create. Yeah. Making music and comedy and stories was always the plan.
It's part of your DNA. Yes. That's what's up. By the way, it's good to see that you still have 3 lives in Jumanji. Wow, okay.
Did you prepare that?
No, I did not. You prepared that joke? Straight off the top of the dome. Wow, that's not bad. Next question, what, uh, can I ask you about your tattoo?
Yeah, you can after you bashed it. I'm half Italian.
Okay.
Half Brazilian. Born in the US.
Oh, that's fire.
Yeah.
That's fire.
You feel bad about your jokes or you don't?
I'll take that back.
You have any tats?
So I got a little Hebrew. That's Curry in Hebrew.
Oh, dope.
So this is a crazy story. June 2017, right after Game 5, we won. Had a lot of champagne, a lot of wine, a lot of good times.
All right.
Like, all right, what do we do now? Like, let's call a tattoo artist and have him come over to the house. Like, we all gonna get something to commemorate the moment. So we all got our last name in Hebrew.
So the whole family got a tattoo? Yeah, all of us. The way to do it.
Took a while to get my mom and dad hip to the idea.
Yeah, I know, I bet.
But then my dad went rogue and got like 2 more right after.
That's it. Created a monster.
You just need to take the cap, you know, pull the cap off and—
They're strangely addicting though. I will say that. One's not really enough.
It's not. My musical highlight of my life was low-key the first name Stephen, last name Curry.
I think we're just a good duo.
I think we got something.
I think we got a little secret band. That the world doesn't really know about yet.
I don't have any musical background. The only thing I got is I took drum lessons for probably 2 months when I was living in Toronto back when I was 13.
You're a drummer?
If I go to a concert, I am zoned and locked in on the drummer.
Really?
Zoned in. Like, that is my ultimate goal one day is to be able to—
You should do it.
Why not?
Play in a band and be the drummer. Like, that vibe that gives is dope. That's great. I know, I know.
You're still young.
But you do have a guitar, right?
I'm down if you're down.
Let's do it. Do you name your guitars? No.
Okay.
But I'll name this one.
All right, we'll come over to the piano.
Wanna name it together?
All right, let's name it.
Look at it and say the first word that comes to your head on 3. 1, 2, 3.
Chocolate. Curry.
What'd you say?
I said chocolate.
Chocolate?
Yeah. Chocolate curry.
Chocolate curry. That's what it is.
How long you want me to—
Oh, okay.
You got 8 guitars. This is—
Yeah, but I'm not a guitar player. That's good, but you still— Guitar players play it correct and train and— Is there a correct way to play it? You play?
Kind of, yeah.
Like me, I taught myself. So the way I play bar chords, the way I go from chord to chord is not correct. It's like my own way.
People say I don't play the game the right way.
Really?
But I get the job done.
They really do.
They really do. We're rebels, I told you. We're outta cause.
Wanna do a little jam? Let's do it.
You said you're a drummer.
Why don't you give me a little drum beat? I need you to freestyle.
2, 3, 4.
How about this? I say a line, then you say a line. We just go back and forth. All right. We're Stephen Curry, we're 5 minutes from home.
Trying to get some food before we get home.
That was pretty good, but I don't have a line.
Neither do I, but we got some more time.
5 minutes from home, baby.
5 minutes from home.
5 minutes from home, baby.
5 minutes from home.
Should we do a reprise?
Yes.
Stephen Curry.
Last name Curry came into my life and everything was less furry.
Can't Steph Curry Steph Curry Steph Steph.
My knuckles are bleeding! Now we're talking. Hey, respect.
I feel like every time I go for a high five, it takes you like 7 seconds.
I'm a little slow today.
Yeah, if you guys could just make sure to delete everything we just did, that'd be great.
That'd be amazing. All right, what do we got? Oh, they got curry shrimp!
Really? What's that?
I planned that. Can I get, I gotta have the curry shrimp though.
Okay. Curry shrimp.
And a beef patty. What's this right here?
I have 2 curry shrimp.
2 curry shrimp. All right. Thank you. Curry for curry.
Patty.
Thank you kindly.
All right. For you?
It was nice. It was really nice.
Go for a little platin'.
Aha! Ho!
You all right, buddy?
Ah! Woo!
Make sure you cut that thing up.
What?
That plantain was freaking hot, bro. Oh my God.
You gonna be all right?
I think I'll be all right. Appreciate you coming up, man.
