Other guests include Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid, Olympic gold medalist swimmer Katie Ledecky, Bay Area rap legend E-40, Curry's penpal and sneaker designer Riley Morrison, professional gamer Myth and more.

The first season of the Youtube series received more than 21 million views across platforms. Co-founder and chief creative officer of Unanimous Media Erick Peyton hopes to build on the first season's success with the new season of guests that speak to the Youtube generation.
"Unanimous and Youtube share similar sensibilities and goals in creating entertaining video content that connects with a wide audience, and the show's format is perfectly suited for fun and engaging conversation," said Peyton. "The series gives fans an opportunity to ride shotgun with Stephen as he journeys home after games and is a good example of Unanimous' ability to produce premium digital content that brands want to get behind for a platform as powerful as YouTube. It's is a proven model for us and one that we will continue to build out more moving forward."
The five-episode series premieres today on Stephen Curry's Youtube Channel.
