Az Fudd (2:37)

I'm also doing great. I obviously have not fully recovered. My voice has not recovered. I feel great, but my voice has been gone for like 10 days now. It's kind of insane. And this is the best it sounded in those 10 days. But yeah, I'm excited. The season's ramp. This is a big week for us. So I feel like I always just say I'm excited but I really am. I'm so excited. This is such a fun time.

Ashanti Plummer (2:57)

Yeah. I mean all the bonding, all the hard work, all the practice. Now you get to play against, you know, not your teammates, other practice players.

Az Fudd (3:05)

Like exactly.

Ashanti Plummer (3:06)

Now you guys get to come together and whoop on other teams. So of course that's something.

Az Fudd (3:12)

And I'm 23 now, so that's fun too.

Ashanti Plummer (3:17)

It's your birthday. Yes. Happy birthday again. Well, by the time.

Az Fudd (3:22)

Thank you again.

Ashanti Plummer (3:25)

Your birthday did pass. You're 23. How are you feeling so wise in your Jordan year? What advice do you give to those 22 and youngers?

Az Fudd (3:37)

Yeah, man, I remember those days like it was yesterday.

Ashanti Plummer (3:42)

Like it was last week.

Az Fudd (3:43)

Like it was a week ago. Literally a week ago.

Ashanti Plummer (3:46)

What'd you do? What'd you do for your birthday?

Az Fudd (3:49)

On my birthday, what did I do? Oh, it was, it was so exciting. I had a doctor's appointment, I had film session, I had practice, I had another film session. Then we had practice and you know, I got a good lift in, got some recovery and then I came to the cottage, which I don't know if I've said yet, but the cottage is what I call my grandparents house. They have a house in Connecticut right off campus. So I came to my grandparents house. My parents were here, they brought Stewie up, my little dog and they made me a birthday feast. I said, I don't know what I want. Make me something healthy and delicious. It was probably one of the best dinners I've had.

Ashanti Plummer (4:23)

Oh, that's.

Az Fudd (4:24)

That's so sweet.

Ashanti Plummer (4:25)

That's solid. Listen, a good meal and you were treating your body as you were recovering. I mean, sounds like a solid birthday.

Az Fudd (4:33)

And then I went home and my teammates sung to me and got me one of like my favorite like cleaner ice cream brands. So that was really sweet.

Ashanti Plummer (4:40)

That's good. I'm glad you celebrated because I know you Miss Humble don't want to make it about me, but it was your day and you deserve to feel loved and special on that day. So I'm glad.

Az Fudd (4:51)

Yeah, it was same day minus one, so it didn't get too crazy, but it was still special. Felt the love.

Ashanti Plummer (4:57)

And then to finish off your birthday, even though it was the next day, you won. So, I mean, you won the day before, won the next day, you know, you winning.

Az Fudd (5:08)

Exactly.

Ashanti Plummer (5:09)

So we have a special guest coming on today.

Az Fudd (5:13)

Yes, I'm super excited. Joining us today, we have the one and only Ryan Howard. Today we have a super special guest, Ryan Howard. Ryan, how are you?

Ryan Howard (5:29)

I'm doing so good. How are you guys?

Az Fudd (5:31)

Excited to have you on the pod.

Ryan Howard (5:33)

Excited. Excited to be on the pod.

Az Fudd (5:34)

So what have you been up to in the off season? What's that been like?

Ryan Howard (5:37)

Pretty much just golfing. Golfing and working out. I've been golfing almost like every day since the season ended.

Az Fudd (5:44)

It's a good combo. Where are you?

Ryan Howard (5:46)

I'm in Atlanta right now. Or do you mean like the building?

Az Fudd (5:49)

No, no, no.

Ryan Howard (5:51)

That's okay.

Ashanti Plummer (5:52)

Let's be safe. How'd you get into golfing?

Ryan Howard (5:56)

It was just something that me and Leash started just to like, pastime. We've been doing it for about three years now. So we started after her first years here off season, and we've been doing ever since. So.

Az Fudd (6:09)

So when you say you've been golfing, is that like you're going to a, what's it, a golf course? Is that what it's called, Golf range or like a topgolf type place?

Ryan Howard (6:17)

No, you go to the courses.

Az Fudd (6:19)

Okay. Wow, that's like real, real stuff right there.

Ashanti Plummer (6:23)

Okay, Stephen, Tiger woods right now.

Az Fudd (6:27)

Who's better at golfing? You? Yeah, I mean, I knew you were going to say that. That's how you should say, she's not.

Ashanti Plummer (6:32)

Here to defend herself.

Ryan Howard (6:33)

She would say it too. It's the truth.

Ashanti Plummer (6:38)

So you just ended your WNBA season with the dream, Atlanta Dream. How are you feeling about that wrap up?

Ryan Howard (6:45)

I mean, obviously nobody wants to end short of, you know, the end goal. I do feel like we kind of, we, we underachieved our own ourselves. Like, I feel like we definitely should have made it further than what we did. But, you know, you can't be too greedy with, you know, everything that you get. Like you don't get it all in one year. And, you know, I'm super excited for what's to come. Like, I think that we have a good chance to bring majority of our team back and, you know, just build on this. You know, we had a new coach, we had a new team, and, you know, I think we did a lot more than what Was even expected. You know, obviously, we did go out in the first round, but even to, you know, have a home game for me and, you know, being tied for second at the end of the regular season, I think that's a huge accomplishment in itself.

Ashanti Plummer (7:28)

Those dream games look lit. Listen, I had friends go. I didn't get the opportunity to pop out, but I definitely want to make it for next year. I think you guys are so exciting to watch. Next year is new year, new slate, and you guys have another opportunity to, you know, achieve the goal this time, and I'm excited. It's going to be competitive and good.

Ryan Howard (7:49)

Yeah, I agree. But you definitely have to get out. But you have to hurry because, you know, we got a small gym, so it'd be selling out fast.

Ashanti Plummer (7:55)

I know that's right.

Ryan Howard (7:56)

It gets packed in there, like, standing room only.

Ashanti Plummer (7:58)

Oh, well, I'm jacking that. I know you now. I'm be like, excuse me. I know. Ms. Ryan, let me in.

Ryan Howard (8:04)

I got you.

Az Fudd (8:05)

You really would do that, too?

Ashanti Plummer (8:06)

I would. I would.

Az Fudd (8:10)

Ryan, is there anything you learned from this past season with the dream?

Ryan Howard (8:17)

I think just being able to lean on, you know, who you have helping you. I know, like, in past years, the pressure is often, most of the times all on me. And so being able to have, you know, 11 other players with you that you can trust and that you can, you know, that will take it. Like, you don't have to ask. Like, they'll recognize that you have a lot of pressure, and they'll take that for you and, you know, weather the storm and help you get through it. And I think for me, personally, I think that really helped this year because I did have a down year. And so not having all of that extra pressure on top of, like, what I was battling myself, I think it definitely helped with our success and having that trust and having the confidence in the rest of my teammates, that's amazing.

Az Fudd (8:55)

That's so important.

Ashanti Plummer (8:56)

Why do you call it a down year?

Ryan Howard (8:58)

I mean, I personally think that was my worst year in the league because I just wasn't consistent enough to my standards, and I wasn't performing the way that I felt I should have. You know, obviously, as a leader of the team, like, it is my team, I'm gonna take most of the, you know, blame. I'm gonna take all that on my own. And so I feel like if I would've had a better year, we probably would have gone farther, to be quite honest.

Ashanti Plummer (9:24)

Mm. Well, listen, it takes more than one, but I understand having a standard for yourself. And, you know, feeling like you didn't live up to it. But listen, girl, we know about you. 2022, rookie of the year, three time all star, WNBA, all defensive team. You've been a bucket for as long as you've been. So I'm excited if you feel like this was a down year. I can't even imagine what next year is going to be like.

Az Fudd (9:50)

So wait to touch on her being a bucket since we can remember. Do you remember? It was us, 2019, USA vassal tryouts. We met for the first time and I asked for a picture because I was a fan. I knew who you were and there was a picture. It was after I tore my acl. So I was there just watching tryouts. What were you there for? What were you trying out for?

Ryan Howard (10:13)

2019 was. That was just U19's Thailand, I want to say.

Az Fudd (10:20)

Okay, so if I was healthy, I could have played with you. Oh, I saw the picture too. That's crazy because.

Ryan Howard (10:28)

Not because you came up. I mean, obviously I know you are too, but you asked me for a picture and I was like, what? Cause I'm like, you know, I'm just. I'm out here. Regular old person.

Az Fudd (10:39)

Please.

Ashanti Plummer (10:41)

Right? Regular.

Ryan Howard (10:42)

All over the world.

Ashanti Plummer (10:43)

Regular.

Az Fudd (10:45)

Ryan and regular don't go together, but okay. Right.

Ryan Howard (10:48)

They start the same letter, so I don't understand how they don't.

Az Fudd (10:52)

They just don't. Just trust. They don't.

Ashanti Plummer (10:54)

So, Ryan, what was your welcome to the league moment?

Ryan Howard (10:57)

I think it was de' Erica busting my lip. It was. She was still in Vegas and we were playing them at home. It wasn't intentional. Like, we were both going for a rebound and like, she just came down and just busted it. So they go down on, like, my team goes down on offense. You know, I'm just standing down here on there, underneath the basketball. My lip is literally dripping. Refs are gone. So I'm like, hello. Like, I can't play. They come back down. But then also, like, I welcomed her to me, came back down on offense and I only got one hand, so she tries to, like, come down for the layup and I block it and then I. I block it and I get the ball. And my bet at the time was Erica Willer, and she's like pointing at me, pointing at the ref like, hey, we gotta stop it. But yeah, I had to get stitches that game and my look was pretty fat after that.

Az Fudd (11:56)

You got stitches like mid game and then went back in.

Ryan Howard (11:58)

Yeah.

Commercial Announcer (11:59)

Wow.

Az Fudd (12:00)

Tough.

Ashanti Plummer (12:01)

I like the.

Az Fudd (12:02)

I welcomed her to me.

Ryan Howard (12:05)

Come on, we're doing this together.

Ashanti Plummer (12:08)

So, speaking of Dierca, isn't she your teammate now with Unrivaled?

Ryan Howard (12:12)

Yeah.

Ashanti Plummer (12:13)

Yeah.

Ryan Howard (12:13)

Like, we're, like, super close now, so we laugh about it still. But even before Unrivaled, like, we had. I had her in the Olympics, too. And just taking that to Unrivaled, it helps because we already have that experience of three on three. But, you know, when people say Momma Dee, like, that's not just a nickname. Like, that is really, like, what she embodies. Like, she's definitely the mother of any team or anything that she's a part of. And, you know, being able to have her, like, as my supporting cast and me as her supporting cast, I think we do a really good job because we both know what each other wants.

Az Fudd (12:47)

And special. Speaking of Unrivaled, how was the first season last year?

Ryan Howard (12:52)

I'm excited for this year. I'm excited for, like, all the new players, all the new teams and what we can do. I think Vinyl can build off what we did last year because we came up just a tad short, and so I think we can use that. Swoon's going to lead us. Right. And we'll be back in that same position with a different outcome.

Az Fudd (13:11)

I'm excited to watch.

Ashanti Plummer (13:14)

Yeah, this year is very different. There's a lot of changes. So different teams, a new venue. Venue outside of Miami. You're going to. I think it's Philly in January. Like, how are you feeling about all these? And there's a player development pool. I'm really happy to see that because I felt like last year it was new teams every. Every couple weeks.

Ryan Howard (13:36)

Yeah, everybody's getting hurt, and it's just, yeah, here. Come on. We need you. We need you. But I'm excited for, like, all the changes like, that I've heard about. You know, I'm excited for the new teams just bringing in, like, new competition. You don't want to, like, we go against each other every day in the summer, like, all throughout the summer. And so being able to change it up and change who you're playing with and change the dynamic of everybody's game and everybody's team. I think it'll be exciting to see, like, how well people work in such a short amount of time. And then as far as, like, the Philly games, I won't be participating in it, but I am excited for it, to see it grow and see it give a chance for other people to see instead of, like, having to travel all the time. Miami's pretty far.

Az Fudd (14:22)

I wish that we could go to Miami and watch a game.

Ashanti Plummer (14:26)

I might have to.

Az Fudd (14:28)

Shanti will be there for the both of us.

Ashanti Plummer (14:31)

I'll FaceTime you in.

Az Fudd (14:32)

Perfect.

Ryan Howard (14:34)

I'll be looking for you.

Az Fudd (14:36)

All right, Ryan, pick your dream. Three on three teammates.

Ryan Howard (14:39)

Dream. Three on three teammates. Like, including myself. So I have to pick three more. I mean, is this Olympic theory, or.

Ashanti Plummer (14:47)

Is this, like, unrivaled your dream, like, whatever you want in this whole world.

Ryan Howard (14:53)

Me, Leash, Naz D. Solid.

Az Fudd (14:55)

Not so good.

Ashanti Plummer (14:56)

She said my teammates.

Ryan Howard (14:57)

She said my teammates.

Ashanti Plummer (15:00)

I'm rocking with who I got.

Ryan Howard (15:02)

Yep. Everybody can shoot threes. Two that bang in the post. You know, if I had to go down there, I could hold my own. And then, you know, I facilitate these shoots.

Ashanti Plummer (15:13)

Okay, so your fun fact on the unrival site is that you have the same number of LEGO sets as points in season one of unrivaled.

Ryan Howard (15:22)

Yeah, that's probably about right.

Az Fudd (15:25)

Wait, that's crazy.

Ashanti Plummer (15:26)

I was going to say, girl, how many LEGO sets you got?

Ryan Howard (15:30)

I have so many LEGO sets, and I have, like, I have this big old dresser of all the ones that need to be built, and then I have some that are already displayed. Like, I just have LEGO sets everywhere. And then they keep making new ones, so I keep buying new ones. The old ones.

Ashanti Plummer (15:44)

It's Lego's fault.

Ryan Howard (15:46)

It is Lego's fault. Like, but yes, I do have a ton of LEGO sets. Like, so many.

Az Fudd (15:51)

Just, like, how do you have space for all of them? What do you do with all of them?

Ryan Howard (15:55)

That's why they're not built yet. I'm so. I'm still working on this space part. But the ones that are built there on, you know, a dresser, like, with different shelves and stuff. I'm crying.

Ashanti Plummer (16:07)

It's gonna be your home decor.

Ryan Howard (16:09)

Yeah. Like, I have the little succulents.

Az Fudd (16:13)

Those are cute.

Ryan Howard (16:14)

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I put those in the living room, like, by the tv. So those are my plant decor.

Ashanti Plummer (16:21)

That's actually not a bad idea. I don't necessarily have a green thumb, so if I could get, like, a.

Ryan Howard (16:28)

You gotta have the roses. So the roses are in the kitchen. That's cute.

Az Fudd (16:33)

What does building Legos do for you mentally? Like, is that you're calming, like, when you can just, like, relax and chill, or is it competitive to you?

Ryan Howard (16:41)

It's calming. But, like, sometimes, like, when you get so far and, like, I missed a piece, like, or you have something on wrong, then it's like, it tests you. Because now you have to take the whole thing apart just for that One piece. But it is fun, you know, and you know, the people love to see it. I have made a couple TikToks doing it. The people love to see it and just seeing, like, things that I'm interested in. But it is fun, it is relaxing and, you know, a little bit of ASMR too, when they, you know.

Ashanti Plummer (17:11)

Don'T get it started. So when you buy the Legos, do you only buy them as sets and you build them or do you like, sometimes freestyle?

Ryan Howard (17:21)

And I buy sets.

Ashanti Plummer (17:23)

Okay.

Ryan Howard (17:24)

But I did like, I did see somewhere where if you do have like all the leftover pieces, you can take a picture and send them into something and it'll tell you what you can make.

Az Fudd (17:33)

Oh, that's a cool concept.

Ryan Howard (17:35)

So, like, if you did have a bunch of random pieces, it'll give you options of what you can build from those pieces.

Az Fudd (17:41)

That's cool. What's the most complicated or time consuming piece that you've done?

Ryan Howard (17:46)

Probably grand piano.

Az Fudd (17:47)

Oh, can you actually, like, play it at all?

Ryan Howard (17:50)

It plays with the app and, like, music plays and like.

Ashanti Plummer (17:56)

Yo, 2025. I mean, what.

Az Fudd (17:59)

Wait, can you send a picture of your LEGO shelf after this, please?

Ryan Howard (18:03)

Yeah. Okay, cool.

Ashanti Plummer (18:04)

I need to see this, grandpa.

Ryan Howard (18:08)

And then, like, the keys move and stuff.

Az Fudd (18:10)

Bro, you need a LEGO deal.

Ashanti Plummer (18:12)

Hello, legos. If you are listening, we have a pro in the chat. So what's your next set? Like, what are you on the hunt for now?

Ryan Howard (18:24)

I don't know. Like, I have. I just picked up the Gameboy. That probably won't take long because it's kind of small. The most recent one I did was Bumblebee from Transformers.

Ashanti Plummer (18:35)

Wow.

Ryan Howard (18:35)

And he actually transforms. Like right now I have him in the car, but I can open him up to where he's a robot.

Az Fudd (18:41)

That's cool.

Ryan Howard (18:43)

But I have like, Mario, Mario Kart, Bowser, Twilight House, a bunch of little cars, some good ones.

Az Fudd (18:52)

I can't wait for this video of this picture.

Ashanti Plummer (18:54)

Right? I need all of it. Yeah, I need all. I need to see these.

Commercial Announcer (19:06)

Az Fudd (22:06)

So you're also Known for your artistic abilities. Have you always been super artsy?

Ryan Howard (22:11)

Yeah, like, when I was younger, probably elementary school was probably the oldest memory I have. I had to make, like. Well, I didn't have to, but I chose to make the Statue of Liberty out of paper, like, origami for one of my school projects. And, you know, I always liked origami. But then I also like to draw and paint and stuff, just because, like, it's another way to get between the lines. Like basketball. You have the lines that you're inside, you know, doing your own thing. But it's another way for me to create in another set of lines and, you know, be in my own space. And, you know, nobody's telling me what to do. Nobody's, you know, bothering me. Like, I just. Just me and paper and pen or pencil or paint, whatever the medium is, and just, you know, just vibe. Sam gets old.

Ashanti Plummer (22:59)

Wait, that was so beautiful. Almost poetic. Like, this is a true creative.

Az Fudd (23:05)

Okay.

Ashanti Plummer (23:06)

So it's a way to express yourself based off of what you're saying. So when you're drawing and stuff like that, it's usually, like, freestyling. Or is it because. Look, me. Hey, coloring book.

Ryan Howard (23:17)

Give me some.

Ashanti Plummer (23:18)

Like, I. I'm nice with the coloring book, but freestyle, you know, I'm a stick figure girly.

Ryan Howard (23:25)

No, I. Like, I'll look at something and draw it.

Ashanti Plummer (23:29)

But this is mad talented, right?

Ryan Howard (23:32)

Like, if I want to draw, like, Bugs Bunny, like, I'll find a picture of Bugs Bunny, and then I'll draw it like that.

Az Fudd (23:39)

Wow.

Ryan Howard (23:40)

But I couldn't draw bugs from memory. The only thing I can draw.

Ashanti Plummer (23:43)

Okay.

Ryan Howard (23:44)

Is Mickey Mouse.

Ashanti Plummer (23:45)

Okay. Still amazing.

Az Fudd (23:48)

Like, no tracing involved. No, because I'm really good at tracing Same.

Ryan Howard (23:53)

Sis, there's nothing wrong with tracing. Like, that's how you. That's how you practice. That's how you work your way up. But I don't. Not me.

Az Fudd (24:00)

What's your favorite thing to draw? Characters, Landscapes.

Ryan Howard (24:05)

I don't know characters, cartoons and stuff. Just because, like, it takes the least amount of time. Like, I can do those pretty quick.

Az Fudd (24:13)

Okay.

Ashanti Plummer (24:14)

Is there a piece of art you created that you feel like people don't know about and should.

Ryan Howard (24:19)

Yes. I actually do have these three paintings that I did, but I haven't, like, posted anything about them or, like, show anything. Because I had this idea. Like, I mean, I can describe it to you before I.

Ashanti Plummer (24:31)

Yes, please. Yes, please.

Ryan Howard (24:34)

I wanted to try, like, my hand and, like, spray paint and, you know, stuff like that, so. But I did an elephant. I did a lion. And I did a giraffe, so I drew them all out, and only the animals themselves are colorful. Spray paint, that kind of deal. And the rest of it is black, but it's, like, geometric kind of. But it is really good. It's just, like, the color is all coming from inside.

Az Fudd (25:04)

I need to see this.

Ashanti Plummer (25:05)

That poetic. That's that poetic stuff I'm talking about.

Ryan Howard (25:10)

I'm going to add more to those, and I'm going to hang them up in my house as my living room decor.

Az Fudd (25:15)

All right, well, when you start selling pieces, let me know.

Ashanti Plummer (25:20)

Let us know, please. So a little bit more on the art piece. So do you only do, like, pen, paper? Have you ever thought about, like, customizing, like, shirts, pants, hats?

Ryan Howard (25:33)

I actually was working on a pair of overalls, like, but I never finished it. So I think now I have to finish it. But for the most part, it is, like, pen and paper or paint, canvas. But I will. Now that you've mentioned it, I will finish the overalls and.

Ashanti Plummer (25:51)

Come on.

Ryan Howard (25:52)

Yeah.

Ashanti Plummer (25:54)

So I love a fashion piece, so go ahead. So we could wear it on the pod.

Ryan Howard (25:59)

I have to get more into it. I. I kind of just stopped because it was like, I was working on it during the season. So I have to bring that back out. Like, I know exactly where it is, too.

Az Fudd (26:09)

Free the overalls. So if the W gave you full creative control to design an alternate jersey for your team, what would the Ryan Howard edition look like?

Ashanti Plummer (26:18)

That's a good question.

Ryan Howard (26:20)

You know, like, I would have to make it more something that everybody likes, actually. Hold on. Timeout. Speaking of, like, shoes and stuff, I did, like, have a collab with an artist this year to make a pair of shoes. I'm sure somewhere on the dreams page, but I definitely did that whole design, got everything, and just sent it to them and made. So if you want to go look for that, you can. But, you know, I like. I like a black jersey, you know, like a dark jersey. And I would have. So for the dream, I'm actually, like. I don't know if I'm supposed to be saying this, but they are including me in our, like, upcoming jersey, and so.

Az Fudd (27:03)

Oh.

Ryan Howard (27:04)

Like, I really want to bring back our light blue. And, like, as far as the design, like, having our area codes on the back, like, because, you know, we play for the city, we're carrying the cities on our back. And so having that, you know, just including more about the state, you know, peaches, you know, the blue, like, the shooting stars, all that stuff. And I think right now, everything's so minimalist. Like, anybody can do it. And so just bringing back the dynamic of, you know, hard or, like, super creative. I think that's a cool idea.

Ashanti Plummer (27:40)

Yeah. Bring some complexity back.

Ryan Howard (27:43)

Yeah.

Az Fudd (27:43)

I like the sound of this.

Ryan Howard (27:44)

This, like, have your own thing. Like, only. Only we can wear this jersey. Like, nobody else can go and seal this design.

Ashanti Plummer (27:51)

So we saw you did a custom sneaker breakdown on social media with Just Living. Actually, I had the chance to meet her. Yeah. She's dope. She's super creative also. So what's your dream shoe collab?

Ryan Howard (28:07)

Dream shoe collab? Like, what do you mean?

Ashanti Plummer (28:12)

Like, I mean, it is open to your interpretation, right? But if you maybe wanted to work with a certain shoe and you did your own custom, or is there a custom out there that you love that's already done. You can answer either. Either way.

Ryan Howard (28:28)

Any Collab with, like, SpongeBob. Any shoe. Any shoe with SpongeBob. SpongeBob and, you know, aquifer.

Ashanti Plummer (28:37)

All right, Fire. I definitely saw you had some golf shoes with spongebob on them. I saw them. Those were fire.

Ryan Howard (28:46)

Yeah. Yeah. I gotta bring those out.

Az Fudd (28:49)

Were those custom? Yeah, I gotta go find them now.

Ryan Howard (28:53)

So here's on my TikTok. So my Billy Hops, he's the guy who customize all my shoes. I'm actually going to just send him a bunch, and we're just going to do a bunch of spongebob characters. But I'm not gonna do, like, the mainstream. Like, Obviously, I have SpongeBob Patrick now, but I'm not gonna do the mainstream, like, Mr. Krabs plankton. Like, I'm gonna do, like, Mrs. Puff or, like, Pearl Mermaid man and Barnacle Boy. Like.

Ashanti Plummer (29:18)

Or the guy who's like, my leg.

Knix Brand Announcer (29:20)

Yeah.

Ryan Howard (29:21)

Only people that real spongebob watchers would know.

Ashanti Plummer (29:25)

Come on.

Az Fudd (29:26)

I look forward to seeing this.

Ashanti Plummer (29:28)

Okay, so let's do a quick pivot. We're going to talk a little bit more basketball. You're from Tennessee, Ryan, Your mom played for the Florida Gators. And even though you went to Kentucky, you got to be the assistant coach for the Gators in the off season. How did that come to be? Why did you end up y' all everywhere? Okay.

Ryan Howard (29:48)

Why didn't I go to Florida? I actually was going to go to Florida. Like, I was just going to commit, like, super, super early. And she's like, no, cool. Like, yes, I would love if you played at my alma mater, but I want you to go through the recruiting process and then if you still want to play. Okay, That's Fine. But you need to go through the process. Like I don't want you doing that just because I did it. I ended up not obviously, but I like Kentucky. You know, I probably, I didn't go to Tennessee. They didn't recruit me till end like they're the last people to start recruiting me. So that was out the door. I wasn't gonna go anyway because my mom played at Florida. So I've never liked Tennessee. Oh, but Kentucky, like, it felt like home immediately. You know, I do. If I went back and you know, had to change it again, I think I've like matured enough to say I wouldn't choose them again. But I am grateful for my time there. You know, all of the records and all the, you know, accomplishments that we made together, you know, it'll, they'll hold it forever. And you know, I'm glad to be a part of it now because at Kentucky our thing was four for 40, so four years and you get 40 years after, but even longer because I have them for life, they have me for life. And you know, whether I need something, whether new coach or anything, like I know Kenny's there now, he still reaches out like just to keep everybody involved and you know, make sure that anything from Kentucky standpoint that I need, it will happen.

Ashanti Plummer (31:21)

That's dope. So how'd you end up coaching at Florida?

Ryan Howard (31:26)

Well, so I went overseas my first year and I didn't want to go overseas again. So like coaching, coaching it is like I still need to make money, of course, but they reached like Kelly, who's there now their head coach. She was the interim my senior year. So I was very familiar with her. She was very familiar with me and you know, just being able to go and you know, everybody says they want to be a part of the next generation, but going and having that hands on experience with them and like seeing and being able to tell them what they can expect now. I know for me, like my coaches, they knew what the league was like 20 years prior. So being able to give them and you know, an example of what's happening now and you know, all the updates and you know, what they need to work on and what they need to change and stuff to look for, it was helpful and I liked it for me too because, you know, I get to help and you know, I get to help change and you know, impact the league because I know some of those players will make it and you know, if they do want to make it, I know how to get them there.

Ashanti Plummer (32:30)

Plethora of knowledge why not?

Az Fudd (32:33)

Those sort of girls are lucky, for sure. Imagine a Ryan Howard on staff.

Ryan Howard (32:40)

I love practicing with them. They hated it.

Az Fudd (32:44)

I wonder why.

Ryan Howard (32:45)

I'm sure they would all say they're great.

Az Fudd (32:47)

Oh, for sure. Like, that would be so cool.

Ashanti Plummer (32:50)

BTA and practice every single day.

Az Fudd (32:52)

For real.

Ashanti Plummer (32:54)

Every day.

Az Fudd (32:54)

I'm like, who's gonna, like, guard this girl? Literally no one. Can't. Can't guard this.

Ashanti Plummer (33:00)

Like, come on. No. Who got her? We playing zone. Switch.

Ryan Howard (33:06)

Switch.

Ashanti Plummer (33:08)

Help.

Az Fudd (33:10)

So, speaking of Olympian, how did you find out that you were being selected to represent the US on the 3 on 3 team in Paris?

Ryan Howard (33:17)

I actually had a unique path, so I actually could have did either team five on five with three on three. But realistically, like, I wanted to play three on three. Everybody plays. And I wanted to be able to have an impact. I wanted to play and, you know, I went and I did the camps, like, they're like, there is a chance, especially with all the players that go into the pool, there is a chance that you don't make the team. But I know you still want, like, really want to compete. And I went to a tryout camp for Duran 3 and, you know, to get the points, like compete in a little tournament or whatever. And then, you know, when I got the call, actually, I didn't get a call. Jay Demings came to our practice and, like, hand delivered the jersey and, like, told me, like, okay, you're going to be on three on three team. And, you know, I'm not a big person to, like, cry or anything. Like, I don't, like, show my emotions, but I was super excited to, you know, be able to do that. And, you know, it meant a lot because, you know, the work that I'm putting in isn't going unnoticed. And, you know, being able to go and represent your country again, like, on an even bigger stage than, you know, the U19 or U18 teams, it meant a lot because, you know, now it's serious. Like, now like, there's perfection. Like, you have to have that, especially with USA standards and, you know, being able to be considered for the team and making the team, it was surreal at the moment.

Az Fudd (34:49)

Sheesh. I got chills talking about that. Like, that is.

Ashanti Plummer (34:53)

That's amazing.

Az Fudd (34:54)

Wow.

Ashanti Plummer (34:55)

Okay, so, you know, with unrivaled, you play three on three. You know, most basketball, you play five on five. What do you think is the biggest adjustment going from 5 on 5 to 3 on 3, especially at the Olympic.

Ryan Howard (35:09)

Level, Conditioning mentally, mentally and physically? Because mentally, like, there's no timeouts unless like, there's a deadfall. So you are running, and as much as you're. You know, your body can go, you have to believe that your body can go. Like, you can't say you're tired up top or everything would just go. But I. That's probably really it, the conditioning piece, because of how much running it is. And, you know, two less people or four less people on the court with you, so you're, like, covering a ton of ground and doing it all in a shorter amount of time.

Ashanti Plummer (35:48)

Yeah.

Az Fudd (35:50)

What part of your skill set do you think Translated best to 3 on 3?

Ryan Howard (35:53)

Probably my change of face or my poise, because, like, you have less time in three and three. Often you would think it would make you want to speed up, but when you speed up, then you see less. Your mind is only focused on one thing because you're trying to move so fast. But I think being able to, you know, stay poised and, you know, make sure that everybody's just, like, not hectic, I think it opens up a lot more options.

Az Fudd (36:19)

Okay.

Ashanti Plummer (36:20)

Okay. So I got a fun question. Who on the three on three squad talked the most trash? What's the best line you heard?

Ryan Howard (36:29)

We didn't talk trash at the Olympics. Like, you can't breathe. You don't have the air to even talk. Like, even when we faced tip, like, there was no talking. Like, nobody can say anything. Like, we're all just trying to out here, just trying to survive, I guess.

Az Fudd (36:48)

That's so real.

Ashanti Plummer (36:50)

That's very different from five on five.

Ryan Howard (36:52)

Then, like, five on five, you have the chance to walk somebody down. Like, talk, even at unrivaled, like, there's more time. But at the Olympics, like, you just. You just try and get in and.

Az Fudd (37:03)

Go, and you're playing outside. Like, how. What is that adjustment? Like, and with the crowd, like, the heat. I play basketball because it's inside.

Ashanti Plummer (37:12)

Okay.

Ryan Howard (37:14)

Right. Like, yeah, no, it was hot, but they didn't. Like, we did have shade. Like, it was like a little canopy over us. The crowd still hits the same. Like, you would think that it wouldn't be as loud. No, it was still loud because of, like, they're all sitting, like, on top of us. So, like, you have the court, and then, like, the rest of the stadium or whatever, it goes up like this. But it was fun. Playing in the heat wasn't. Wasn't the best, but at least, like, when it did rain, it was still covered. So you're still playing on drag row.

Ashanti Plummer (37:48)

Who was your toughest matchup?

Ryan Howard (37:50)

Probably Canada. But, like, we did end up beating them, obviously. But I think our team, like, because of the camp that I went to before we played Canada, like, they came and we didn't beat them. So I think our team was made more so for them. And with the amount of time that we didn't have together, I think that's what really, like, that was our crutch as to competing with everybody else, because all the rest of three on three teams, like, they do it year round. So, you know, teammates like you, you have that connection. We had a week and a half, two weeks.

Az Fudd (38:27)

That's crazy.

Ashanti Plummer (38:29)

Yeah, that's nuts.

Az Fudd (38:30)

Okay, well, off the court, what's one Paris memory that you'll never forget?

Ryan Howard (38:35)

Golfing.

Az Fudd (38:36)

You went golfing in Paris?

Ashanti Plummer (38:38)

Yo, she is a golfing mommy. Oh, my goodness.

Ryan Howard (38:42)

I went golfing in Paris. I did. It was really fun, too.

Az Fudd (38:46)

Like, did you go with your teammates?

Ryan Howard (38:49)

No, I went with my agent. But I also, like, they. If I did go again, they didn't want to come, but, you know, they started going to other sports and stuff. I didn't go to the sports or like, they just. I actually asked Steph if he wanted to come, but his family had just got out there that day, so that would've been cool.

Ashanti Plummer (39:10)

Quality time.

Ryan Howard (39:10)

Yeah. Yeah. Quality time.

Ashanti Plummer (39:12)

So how did winning or, like, competing for a medal change the way you think about your career and what. What was next for you?

Ryan Howard (39:20)

I think it. It kind of gives you a boost of confidence because to be out there, you have to be trusted. And even if you don't trust yourself, your country is depending on you. Like, they trust you. Like, they. They believe in your ability more than you did. It changed because it's like, why would I regress? Like, I was just competing for a medal. Why would I, you know, carry myself with any less weight?

Ashanti Plummer (39:44)

Can't go backwards, can't go back.

Az Fudd (43:24)

Okay, Ryan, so now it's time for fun and games. So we have a couple different ones today. Ashanti, what are we starting with?

Ashanti Plummer (43:31)

We're gonna start with our what the fud of the week. So what the fud of the week is basically something that happened this week that made you say what the fud? So Ryan, since you are a special guest, do you have a what the fud of the week for us?

Ryan Howard (43:44)

Yes, but it's a good what the FUD. Like, so there's this, this YouTube channel that me and Nishua subscribed to. ATL Swing King obviously is golf. And we've been watching him, watching him, watching him. And we actually got on his show. The name of his channel or the name of his episodes are whooping Wednesdays. So he'll have people on and like whoop them like they win. Well, he had me and Niche on and we did the whooping, we whooped them. So we took his title. All that. It was super fun and just being on it and after watching it for so long, it was fun. So that's my what the fud of this week.

Az Fudd (44:25)

That sounds like a great time.

Ryan Howard (44:26)

Yeah, that's a good what the fud.

Az Fudd (44:29)

My what the fud is Ashanti's.

Ashanti Plummer (44:33)

I knew it.

Az Fudd (44:36)

What do you mean my what the fud is Ashanti's jersey dress.

Ryan Howard (44:40)

Oh, okay.

Az Fudd (44:41)

So I loved it.

Ryan Howard (44:41)

That was a nice one.

Az Fudd (44:42)

No, it was nice. I loved it. And you looked amazing. You always look great. But I loved it.

Ashanti Plummer (44:48)

So for the listeners and also for Ryan, who doesn't know what she's talking about. I went to AZ's. I think it was your first official home game. Cause I went to two scrimmages before and I think that was the first official home game. And I had been gifted a large jersey. And so I was brainstorming with my mom. I'm like, we gotta make this fire. I gotta show up to that game. Can't be looking crazy. I represent more than myself today. And so she like cut up the sides and made it like fringe and then like brought it in. It was super cute. And I was really glad to be able to be representing at the game and AZ played great, and UConn won. So, I mean, it was a great day.

Az Fudd (45:29)

It was. It was good.

Ryan Howard (45:31)

So you don't have a. What the fuck?

Az Fudd (45:32)

No, she was my. What the fud. And.

Ryan Howard (45:37)

Okay, I have another one.

Az Fudd (45:38)

Okay, perfect.

Ashanti Plummer (45:39)

Yes.

Az Fudd (45:40)

Come on.

Ryan Howard (45:41)

So I'm watching this show called the 1% club. It's like this game show. They have 100 people on, and they ask you questions that 90 of the world got right, all the way down, 1%. And I'm watching it, and I'm watching the first episode, first season, and I get down to the 1% question. Like, only 1% of all the people they ask got it right. And I get it right. So I tweet, like, nobody talks to me. Like, if I was on 1%, like, I would have won, you know, 100 grand. Like, nobody talks to me. Like, y' all don't compare. So I'm talking to my agent, and she's like, yeah, you remember when you told you that they want you on? So now, like, I've done, like, all the applications, but all the casting, like, call and stuff, and so I'm going to be on the show.

Ashanti Plummer (46:30)

Yeah.

Az Fudd (46:30)

Wait, that's amazing. You need to let us know when so we can tune in. Need to tune in?

Ryan Howard (46:35)

I don't know yet, but whenever we get the date, I'll let y' all know.

Ashanti Plummer (46:39)

All right, so our last fun and game is going to be a snack ranking. We know you do. You try different snacks and drinks on your socials with Leash, who is, by the way, another WNBA player, her teammate. So we have 10 of the snacks, and you're gonna rate them either S, A, B, C, D, or F. S ranking is, like, the best thing you've ever tasted in the world. And then the F is obviously, like, horrible. So the first one, we're all gonna rank it. The first one's funny. Cottage cheese.

Ryan Howard (47:19)

I've never even touched cottage cheese.

Ashanti Plummer (47:21)

Ac, what about you? Because we know you have.

S. I'm on a popcorn kick right now.

Ryan Howard (48:44)

Movie theater kettle.

Ashanti Plummer (48:46)

Movie theater pocker. I'm jacking it. Movie theater popcorn is a S for me.

Ryan Howard (48:50)

It's an A. It's just a trail mix. A B. I'll give it a D. I don't like raisins, so I have to pick out all that.

Ashanti Plummer (48:59)

I'll give it a C. Chocolate chip cookies.

Ryan Howard (49:02)

A. I'll go A. You know, I'm more of a do. Like, I'm more of just the doe.

Az Fudd (49:07)

Okay, that's fair.

Ashanti Plummer (49:44)

Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a coconut and keep that HBCU pride going.
