[Brianna Stewart]

Welcome To a special collab of game recognized game with Stuy and miles, along with my favorite unanimous and iHeart Women's Sports Network podcast. Fud around and find out with Az Fudd and Ashanti Plummer. Today shows will combine our favorite parts from each of our shows. We will get to know each other a bit better and of course, have a good time.

[Angel Reese]

Hey, thanks for having us.

[Ashanti Plummer]

We love a crossover episode.

[Miles Turner]

Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.

[Brianna Stewart]

The collab that everybody needed.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, y', all. Some of the best in the game. Man, this is perfect. Glad we got this coming.

[Angel Reese]

It's an honor.

[Miles Turner]

So, okay, you've heard it. Game recognized game. I'm just curious to y', all, what does that mean, you know, when I say that game recognized game.

[Angel Reese]

Mm. To me, it's like a level of respect. Like, game recognizes game. Like, I know what you're going through. I know what you've been through. Like, I respect where you are, what you're doing.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I agree. Even if you're not from the same, like, field, maybe you don't play the same sport. Maybe don't play a sport at all. It's like respecting the work that you put in. So that's what I think it means.

[Miles Turner]

That's exactly what we wanted to come off as, you know, I mean, it don't have to be just hoops, you know, it's just mutual respect and amongst people's fields, whatnot. You know, we're all under grinding all our hustle. We all have, you know, whatever. We all do whatever it does, you know, to make our livelihoods come together. So, yeah, I think that's a perfect answer. I appreciate y' all for that. That's perfect.

[Brianna Stewart]

Yeah, I mean, we just wanted to have a platform where we could talk about things on the court and off the court, similar to how to how you guys do you. You fud around and find out. We just wanted to. To kind of talk about some game in both worlds. Az, when was the first moment that you truly realized that you had game? I feel like this is early for you. This got to be early.

[Angel Reese]

Like, looking back, I feel like I should have realized it sooner. But with parents as your coaches, like, it was one of those households where you never got a compliment. It was always something you got to get better at. So I didn't really realize how good I was. Like, my parents kind of had to tell me, so I think it wasn't till, like, eighth grade where I truly was like, okay, wait, like, I am pretty good. Even though people were telling me I still didn't feel it until probably, like, eighth grade, Even, like, early high school, when I really kind of felt comfortable believing that.

[Brianna Stewart]

I feel like your confidence now is just, like, untouchable. Is that where you're at?

[Angel Reese]

I like to think so, yeah. I'm definitely in a really good headspace right now.

[Brianna Stewart]

You have it figured out. Like, you're at the end of your college career. You're like, I know what to do. I know what coach is going to do. Like, you just show up and do your work, and it's. It's good to see. It's awesome to see you, like, just thriving.

[Angel Reese]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. From a fan's perspective, too, Az, I think it's pretty dope. I mean, you hit that flow state, you know what I mean? I feel like it's something that you have to kind of, like, work to get to, you know, as an athlete. You know what that feels like. Can you speak to that a little bit? Like, what it feels like being like, you know, in your senior year and just, you know, not necessarily having it all figured out, but, you know, having a lot of experience because, you know, you've been through quite a bit. You know, for anybody who's obviously followed your career as far as adversity, as far as the highs, the lows, winning a ship, you know, being down, like, what does it feel like to kind of hit that flow style your senior year?

[Angel Reese]

I definitely don't have it all figured out, but I think all that I have been through from high school to now, but especially in college, the ups, the downs, definitely sucked in the moment. But going through that, having to figure it out, through all that adversity, has definitely helped me where I am now. Like, knowing that I can get through that, knowing that I've got great teammates, great support staff, great family, great, great people around me to help me through it as well. I think going through those tough things really builds you. And now it's like, I went through all that. Like, what can I do if I could get through that, if I could win a Natty, if I could.

[Miles Turner]

There you go.

[Angel Reese]

Handle code and do this, do that. Like, keep throwing things at me. I'm ready.

[Miles Turner]

Nice, man. I love that mindset. I love that mindset. You know, I feel like, you know, Stewie's obviously accomplished something that I feel is never going to be done ever again, and winning, you know, for a championship all four years that she was there. Right. You know, with that being said, like, do you kind of feel pressure on yourself? I mean, you Guys are obviously rolling right now, undefeated. Like, do you feel pressure, like, to win another championship this year?

[Angel Reese]

Honestly, No, I don't feel pressure. I think it just excites me, and I think I can't really speak to my teammates, but from a collective standpoint, I feel like it's kind of just fueled us. Like, we got a taste of what it's like, and now everyone that's returning, it's like, okay, I want that again. And everyone that's new is like, well, I want to contribute so we can be there again. But I haven't really felt too much pressure this year, and I think that goes to also show, like, everything I've been through at UConn. It's like I've broken all of Stewie's records that she's like, we've had some highs, and we've had some of the lowest lows of what it feels like. So it's like, can't compare to any other team. Like, we're just. We're going to go out there every night and do what we do.

[Brianna Stewart]

I also feel like, in a sense, the, like, the pressure was last year, you know what I mean? Because it was like, you guys hadn't won in, like, a long time. Like, it was like they hadn't won since I left, which that was pressure on me that I didn't want either. So appreciate that. But now it's like, you know. You know what it feels like to win. You have that, like, in the back of your mind, and that confidence is what you take to the next year. That's. That's how I felt of, like, especially after winning our first. It was like, oh, we know how to do this now. Like, we know coaches, mind games and CDs going to be talking about all this other stuff, and it's like, as long as you just lock in and you stay with your five on the court, you're going to be good.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. No, I completely agree. That's a blueprint. You understand what it takes.

[Brianna Stewart]

Exactly.

[Miles Turner]

I understand it. Now.

[Brianna Stewart]

You talked a little bit about your circle, and I think your circle is really important as far as, like, getting through things. Injuries, success, failures, and now potentially the opportunity to be the number one draft pick. How much are you, like, watching that? Because I feel like from what I'm seeing, and I just see it from social media, it's like, it's fluctuating. You know, it was going to be our fam, and now it's. Now it's az. And is there a big, like, you Want to be number one, I'm assuming. But are you thinking about it a lot?

[Angel Reese]

I'm not. I mean, obviously that getting drafted is a dream and being number one is a dream. It's like, I want to be in that Yukon hallway with you and with everyone else, but I'm really not thinking about it. I'm not on social media too much to avoid seeing that and just hearing all the outside voices, because I've seen with all my past teammates, just how easy it is to be consumed by that and be consumed by what's next. But I'm really trying to stay present because I know I've got two months left, and I'm going to miss. As much as I might complain if you're listening, I never complain. Cd. But like, a CD game or a CD walk, or, like, a team this, or, like, just whatever it may be in the moment, it's like, oh, but in two months, I'm going to be like, I wish I had a CD walk. I wish I had a team dinner. I wish I was getting dressed up for whatever. So I'm really trying to, like, not think about too much of what's gonna happen after. Cause I also. I can't control it. It's not in my hand. I gotta take care of business here first.

[Miles Turner]

You gotta have a mindset, Ace. That's real, man. I mean, you're just. You're transitioned to a new part of your life. So I'm glad that you got such a mature mentality and whatnot. And obviously, you know, the years of college help with that, but a little bit of a gear shift, man. Ashanti, I know you was down there in Corpus Christi, man. You holding down in the broadcast. Come on. You know I'm a Texan, baby. You know I'm a Texan, man. You know, I follow. Follow my hoops, you know, I think that this is something that's kind of new for me and Stewie, right. Coming on the broadcast side, the podcast side. I mean, y' all been doing it for a bit, but, like, what was that transition like for you? You know, going from players to broadcast? Like, what made you, like, want to kind of get into this field and just hold it down for us?

[Ashanti Plummer]

I knew I wanted to stay around hoops. And there comes a time where you realize you can't play forever. And that time came sooner than I expected. I tore my acl. I had many knee injuries. I feel like I never really had, like, a truly healthy season, but I did get to play professionally. But coming over to the broadcast side, I was like, I definitely want to stay around hoops, and I definitely want to stay around women's basketball, like, being a part of it. I went to college when Stewie's in college, so there was no chance for us winning a championship. Thank you, Stewie. But you were so amazing to watch. Sorry, all seriousness, I knew I wanted to be around the sport still, and to be able to tell women's stories while being around the sport is really important to me. Like, I remember games having minimal people in the stands to now games are completely sold out. I remember where you had to really search to look for the game, and now it's like, you can get it on espn. You can get it on the main channels. And so I think it's really important to continue to tell women's stories, to continue to be around the sport, and it's just really beautiful to watch. How much has grown.

[Miles Turner]

I think that it's pretty dope, man. I have a lot of women in my life. I grew up with all sisters, you know what I mean?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Ooh, God bless.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, I know. I'm the only dude. Only dude in the family, man. We actually don't. We finally got our first. I got my little nephew, man. He's like, 6, 7 years old, but, you know, I've been the only man for the facts. I knew someone was going to do it. I could only do it in the family for the past, like, 20 years now, man. So, I mean, I just. It's dope, you know, watching the game grow as it has, you know, I think it's something that, you know, it's going to continue to grow. I mean, obviously, this. This unrivaled thing is unreal. Shout out to you, Stewie, man. You got that dub. You know, we was talking about that last. We was talking about that last week,

[Brianna Stewart]

and then I lost.

[Miles Turner]

I was like, yeah, that's how the game come at you, though.

[Brianna Stewart]

I was just trying to score. I was trying to score after getting routed. I just wanted to score. Then I won, and then Aaliyah, Boston just. It was too much. It was. I was taking blows.

[Miles Turner]

Big body, man. Big body. Yeah, I've seen that. I've seen that firsthand. Yeah. So speaking on the man, I'm just curious, a. If you can steal one thing from, you know, whether it's me or Stewie's game, you know, what would that be and why?

[Angel Reese]

Okay.

[Miles Turner]

Nah, take your time. Really digest this one. You feel me?

[Angel Reese]

Okay. I think, I mean, like, Stewie's versatility, there you go, what can't. You can do everything. You can handle the ball. You can shoot, you can create off the dribble guard one through five. So if I could, like, there's literally nothing you can't do. So, yeah, I'm gonna add all that to my game.

[Miles Turner]

Versatility, drop it all in one bucket. I like it.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, I definitely want to get better at posting up. I don't like it down there too much.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I would love to see that. I would love every once in a

[Brianna Stewart]

while you're gonna have a mouse in the house.

[Angel Reese]

That's what I'm saying. I gotta embrace that. I'm not too comfortable with that right now.

[Miles Turner]

Everybody switches, man. So it's something that even by myself is trying to work on. So, yeah, you got to have everything in your bag. Time for a quick break. When we come back, Ashantin Azu will be asking us questions, including about another team that Stewie just joined.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Welcome back to a very special crossover episode of Game Recognized Game and FUD around and Find out. Now we get to ask you guys some questions.

[Miles Turner]

All right, that's what I got, Stewie.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm start with you, Stewie. We always ask our UConn alums for their best Geno and CD stories. What you got, podcast safe.

[Miles Turner]

Be careful.

[Brianna Stewart]

My podcast. Honestly, they can't get me now.

[Angel Reese]

That's what you think.

[Brianna Stewart]

Okay. So it was my freshman year, and we used to practice at Gampo. We didn't have worth. We didn't have the practice facility yet. And we were doing this drill, and it was like, I missed a box out. Like, literally one box out. I missed it. The practice guys got the offensive rebound, and he was like, Stewie, he was like, you see those stairs? He was like, run them. So the entire practice, the rest of the practice, I was running up and down Gampo Pavilion steps, and I was like, every time I got to the top of the concourse, I'm like, just turn left. Just walk out the door. Just turn left. And I went back down. He forgot about me. And so Stevie had to tell him that I was still there doing it. So that was like one of my. That was something that I'll never forget. My freshman year, I had a rough freshman year as far as stories and then cd. I love cd. Like, she's my favorite, but also she's like the person that knows how to push all of your buttons. Like, anything that is, like, coming to coming up in your head, she finds it before you even know how to say it out loud. So it was my junior year. We were doing. We were playing in this, like, four Florida tournament or something. And she was mad. Like, I thought I was at a defensive stance, and she wanted me to be lower. And I just kind of gave her, like, a look like the. Do you want? Like, what? How much lower can I get? Look at me. You would have thought the world was ending. We canceled practice. We canceled practice the next day. Coach was like, I'm not coaching the team. CD was like, you guys are ridiculous. Like, all these things. So with cd, she got eyes in the back of her head. So you always have to make sure she's, like, not looking at you if you're going to make some faces. But with all that, I tell them all the time, I'm like, you miss me? I was there.

[Angel Reese]

So love language.

[Brianna Stewart]

I'm like, izzy, do you guys get in trouble like this? In practice anymore. I don't know.

[Angel Reese]

No, no.

[Brianna Stewart]

Right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

This is the people. She doesn't get in trouble.

[Angel Reese]

Everyone that comes back says that. They're like, you guys are so much softer. You're so much nicer to them. Yeah, they definitely are after hearing some of your stories. Yeah. Way different.

[Brianna Stewart]

We got kicked out of the locker room.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, my goodness.

[Brianna Stewart]

Because we had these recruits, and. And they didn't want to come out, and it was like, well, why would you have recruits come after we won a national championship?

[Angel Reese]

Yeah.

[Brianna Stewart]

Anyways, they kicked. They kicked us out of the locker room and took all of our stuff and put it in a different place, and then all of our stuff got stolen.

[Miles Turner]

I had, like, this. Oh, they was wilder. Respect.

[Brianna Stewart]

And they were just like.

[Miles Turner]

They was wilder for respect. That's crazy.

[Angel Reese]

That's ins.

[Ashanti Plummer]

So everyone gets kicked out. Everyone gets kicked out the locker room every year. Every generation has been kicked out of the locker room.

[Angel Reese]

There was a video that resurfaced, I don't know if it was last year, two years ago, of uncd. And she's like, brianna Stewart, blah, blah. And that was her line to us was like, well, you. We're mocking her. And she was like, well, you see how I treated Stewie? Like, why do you think I would treat you guys any differently? None of you are better than her. So if she got it, then you're definitely gonna get it. And we're like, okay, that's fair. That's totally fair.

[Brianna Stewart]

Yeah, she was on me for my body language all the time.

[Angel Reese]

And that's why you're amazing.

[Miles Turner]

I'm saying, look at Shawn now. Look at Shawn.

[Angel Reese]

Look at everyone now. The discipline.

[Brianna Stewart]

Don't tell her. Cut that part out. She's right.

[Miles Turner]

It's just like that, y', all, like, she really, like. Like, she one of them.

[Ashanti Plummer]

She looks like she means business.

[Brianna Stewart]

Is, like, super meticulous. Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

Miles, I think you need to meet her.

[Miles Turner]

I would love to meet her. Yeah, you know, a little shake up, you know, get a little advice here and there.

[Brianna Stewart]

Let's. Let's get, like, a little workout with CD Going us. Come on.

[Angel Reese]

I would love that, actually. CD Workout. I would love that.

[Miles Turner]

Down for whatever. I'm always down to add something to the game.

[Angel Reese]

There we go. All right, so going into March. Well, do either of you have any advice for me? But, Stewie, do you have any advice on repeating? And I know my mindset isn't, like, too focused on, like, the pressure and whatever, but there's still, like, you know what? It's like, to be in this position,

[Miles Turner]

Stewie, this is all you. I got knocked down the first round my freshman year, and, you know, I left after that, so I got true one and done. I got nothing.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That's why I say here, quiet.

[Brianna Stewart]

I got you. My advice for you going into this last national championship run is to take it one game at a time. And I think as far as, like, just focusing on finishing the regular season, and then you get to the conference tournament, and then you get to. To the national championship game, I think that sometimes, especially in your senior year, you're looking ahead, you know, you're seeing what's coming after and all these other things, and how can you plan for it, like, stay in the moment. You touched on it earlier in the podcast of, like, you know, you want to enjoy all these things. And I think the biggest thing that I miss is, like, having roommates, you know, and. And being with your teammates and hanging out and, like, going to class and, like, talking shit and, like, having fun, because that doesn't happen anymore. So my advice would just be to. To remain locked in, be confident in what you do, and then go out and do it. There's literally no more thinking.

[Angel Reese]

You just have to play thoughtless playing. Yeah, I need that. I need that every game.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Stewie, as my best college player, in my opinion, that's ever played the game, four time NCAA champion, three time WNBA champion, two time WNBA mvp and three time Olympic gold medalist. Which one of them was the best?

[Brianna Stewart]

Honestly, this is a really hard question because they're all, like, in different levels. I will say that winning the Olympics in 2024 in Paris was very special to me because I was able to have my kids there. You know, Ruby and Teo were able to see me win a gold medal and be a part of that. But if I had to, like, rank WBA championships, bringing one back to New York was by far my favorite because it just never had been done before, and the city just has popped off since then.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I love hearing you say that. As a New Yorker, myself, and Liberty fan, I am so glad you held it down for us. You and the Liberty held it down for us, because it's so. You know, they say New York hasn't won in so long, and that's true. The Knicks haven't won, and God knows how long. Good luck to them. But when people are like, oh, we haven't won, we haven't won, I said, Excuse me, 2024, the liberty just won, so not too much. So that's amazing. One to be Able to do what you do on the Olympic level in front of your children, in front of your family, and then to bring one home for New York. I mean, I couldn't be happier, y'.

[Miles Turner]

All. New York has got so much pride. Boy, I'll tell you.

[Ashanti Plummer]

And do and we a little bit Delulu too.

[Miles Turner]

I'm already know my pops from out there, man. I know

[Ashanti Plummer]

we are delusional. Like, to me, the Liberty are gonna win again and the Knicks are gonna win in my lifetime.

[Miles Turner]

Speaking to existence, I like it.

[Ashanti Plummer]

But I'm gonna root for you though.

[Brianna Stewart]

Knicks are gonna win in my lifetime.

[Miles Turner]

You root for that. We don't knock them out the past two years in a row. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I'm on a different team now. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? It's different.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm gonna root for you to do well, but I'm gonna still root for the next week.

[Miles Turner]

Of course, of course. That's respect, that's love, you know, that's game recognizing game right there.

[Brianna Stewart]

Hello.

[Angel Reese]

There you go. Stu, you're also a two time EuroLeague Women's champion and you just signed up for another stint with the Turkish Juggernauts. Did I say that right? Okay, how did that come to be?

[Brianna Stewart]

Oh, honestly. So I just like, it literally just announced today that I signed with Fenner, going back to Fenerbahce. They literally offered me something that I couldn't refuse. Like I'm going to go there in beginning of April and play the two games potentially for the final Four and help bring another Euroleague championship back to Fenner, back to Turkey. It was something that I didn't think would ever happen again. And then they just sent me something that I couldn't say no to. So here I am, going to Fenner.

[Angel Reese]

That's made sense. How long will you be out there for?

[Brianna Stewart]

I'll be there for like two weeks, literally.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That's right. First of all, first of all, it's a cheat code. Can you imagine being in that Turkish league? And it's like, oh yeah, Brianna Stewart for the last two weeks.

[Brianna Stewart]

Ciao.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I know they tight.

[Angel Reese]

If I'm the other team, I'm sick. I'm like, oh, we got a chance this year.

[Brianna Stewart]

My grandma was literally, literally this morning, she was like, your grandfather told me something that wasn't true. Right? And I was like, well, what was it? He was like, he said that you're going to Turkey. And I was like, grandma, Grandpa's actually right about this one. I am going to Turkey. Surprise. To you too.

[Angel Reese]

Will the whole fam go out there with you?

[Brianna Stewart]

I think they will. I think that the. The Euroleague final four is actually in Spain, so it's perfect.

[Angel Reese]

Oh, yeah.

[Brianna Stewart]

They'll be able to go back to Spain for a little bit. We'll see Marta's mom and.

[Miles Turner]

Nice. Nice.

[Brianna Stewart]

Have a little European flavor before we go start. Hopefully the wnba. Hopefully we can get it done. Please.

[Miles Turner]

Hello.

[Az Fudd]

Please.

[Brianna Stewart]

You know what? We're negotiating. We're negotiating a good CPA for you. Okay. We're gonna.

[Angel Reese]

I appreciate it.

[Brianna Stewart]

I really do need.

[Miles Turner]

What amazing time.

[Angel Reese]

I'm literally spoiled. Like, I'm just getting every. All the good stuff you're leaving behind for me. You're paving the way for me. Talking about you didn't have the worth practice. Worth practice facility. Thank you so much. You made that possible. It's all the little things.

[Ashanti Plummer]

So unrival101 just wrapped up and Chelsea Gray was crowned champion. I know you mentioned a little bit earlier playing you won a game, then ended up losing to Aaliyah Boston. How is it running that tournament back for the second year?

[Brianna Stewart]

Just had to bring that up.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You brought it up.

[Brianna Stewart]

Like, cut that out. Cut that out. You know, I think, honestly, I think the one on one is really cool. And it's like, listen, you have to. You just have to put your pride aside and you go out and play. And the way the format is because it's first to 11, twos and threes, you know, you never know who can kind of get on a run. So I was happy to redeem myself a little bit, like score a point, win a game. And we talked about ab. Kind of knocked me out. She literally knocked me. I took a charge. I think I took the first charge in one on one. I knew that was coming. I knew she was just gonna run right into me. But it's a way for people to showcase their skill and show how much separ separation they can create in seven seconds. So shout out to Chelsea Point God for getting the dub. If anybody watched Chelsea versus Leash, that thing was. They were going at it. It was exhausting. Went down to game three, and Chelsea just took the three. She went for the kill and won that 200k. So also shout out to Sprite. I know we're not doing that here, but they put an opportunity for. For us to have a huge prize in winning a one on one tournament. And it's just really cool to see people support women constantly.

[Miles Turner]

That's badass, man. I really think, you know, to that point on the Women's side. I think the men can take a note, you know, from that. Just add a little flavor to the All Star weekend or something, man. Cause, like, that was fun to watch, bro. For real. For real. And to your point, like, you have to put your pride aside. There's a couple of women who got shut out, you know what I mean, into. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, to your casuals watching, it's like, oh, she sucks. She this and that. But it's like, nah, these women are just that good, right? I mean, that's just how it goes, man. So I think that was amazing. I think it was a good inception of it all this year. And, like, you know, to your point, Stewie, that just from a fan's perspective, man, that shit was fun to watch, bro. Like, there was really some good games out there. It was dope.

[Angel Reese]

Definitely was fun to watch.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I was holding my breath the whole last game.

[Angel Reese]

Did anyone complain about finals being on Valentine's Day?

[Brianna Stewart]

No.

[Angel Reese]

That's good.

[Brianna Stewart]

I mean, I think. I think Tiposo. Chelsea's wife was actually very happy.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Dinner on her for everybody in Miami, actually.

[Angel Reese]

All right, Miles, we have some questions for you.

[Miles Turner]

All right, hit me, hit me.

[Angel Reese]

So you spent 10 years with the Pacers before coming to the Bucs. What was that transition like, man?

[Miles Turner]

Where do I begin? It was tough, man, because, you know, like, you know, like yourself. I was a teenager when I got drafted here. I was 19 years old when I got drafted again. I spent. I grew up in Indiana, basically, you know, spent the entirety a third of my life there. You know, I think that more than anything, the toughest part was the relationships I made because I had something that was very rare, like, within the organization. I had the same strength coach, I had the same pt, I had the same, like, massage therapist, like, the Same people for 10 years straight. You know, that doesn't happen. You know, a lot of people get fired and hired and whatnot. Like, I, you know, built real life relations with people. You know, I got to watch their kids grow up from, like. Like, elementary school to graduating or going to college and whatnot. So it was tough, man. It was a tough transition for me. And I'm still in that transitionary phase, man. It's only been four or five months since I've been in Milwaukee, you know, but the best thing you can do, you know, kind of just transitioning, just, you know, from your side of things, is, man, really immerse yourself in the community, you know, no matter what city you get drafted, to. They're going to be really excited, really happy to have you there. But that same love they show you, you got to show them right back, you know, I'm not talking about. It doesn't have to be just like, you know, straight up philanthropic stuff. It can be as simple as going and supporting a small business, you know what I mean? Going to get some coffee at this shop, posting about it, or just getting out a week and going to the park, you know, like, people are going to know who you are. You know, you're larger than life and more people know you than you think they do. You know, I think that's something that I had to learn kind of like the hard way. You know, it didn't help that I was 7ft tall walking around the city, but, you know, and the last thing I'd probably say is just team equity, you know, it's very important, you know, don't. Don't take for granted, like kind of what Stewie was saying, like just going to dinners and all that type of stuff or just hanging out with the girls. Like, you know, it's going to be a different transition for you because, you know, you have, you know, grown ass women there. You know, some of these women have kids, you know, some of these women have families to go back to. But that time, you know, to get to spend together, I mean, it all helps and builds towards, you know, winning a championship, you know, something that's very important. So, yeah, man, I probably say it's community activation. Get yourself out there and then just embrace where you're at. You know, if you embrace the community, they'll embrace you. I think it's really important.

[Angel Reese]

That's really good advice.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Miles, you're also really into fashion. Who do you get your inspiration from?

[Miles Turner]

I love that question because, I mean, a big thing for me is that I've always just dressed how I felt. Right. So another thing too, I think is very important is branding and which az. You already do an amazing job, by the way. Just I want to give kudos to you and your team. Like, you do an amazing job of just like branding yourself and just, you know, putting yourself out there. That's another thing that's very important as well. There's a lot of young women looking up to you. So I mean, the way you represent yourself is huge. So it's key. But for me, man, I didn't really care too much about fashion when I first got to the league because growing up, everything kind of fit me like this. You know what I'm Saying all my pants was like high watered and stuff. So I was like, man, they don't make stuff my size anyways, right? And then as I got more and more into my career, I realized how important it is to represent yourself and whatnot. So, you know, I have Texas roots, you know, so I like, you know, adding some western flair into what I do and then also dressed really preppy. Growing up, I was the Polo, Ralph Lauren. I went through the whole swag era. I know you know what I'm talking about. Shock, you feel me? I went through the old swagger and everything. So don't tell me we came up in the same era, man. I know, you know, but I kind of like to mix the two. I call it like a preppy western like, you know, type of feel. I don't necessarily get like my inspiration from anybody in particular. I just like to put things together. Like, I have a very like creative mind when it comes to that. You know, I enjoy putting pieces together. You know, I enjoy, you know, looking at my closet and seeing what colors go with this, like earth tones, like making all that stuff come together. So yeah, like I have like a real preppy western like type of like flair to me.

[Angel Reese]

So you put your foots together yourself or you have a stylist that you work with?

[Miles Turner]

Not for sure. So I have, I had a personal shopper for a minute and she kind of helped me source, you know, helped me source clothes and whatnot. And her name is Jordan Cadell. And she's actually really good at what she does. She does style. NBA players as well, WNBA players as well. If you need shouts, that's the biggest thing, you know, it's. It's hard to find stuff that actually fits, you know what I'm saying? So she sources the right people and then she'll help me put some looks together. But like I told you, I had like the ADHD mind. But like I'll put like four or five things together at one time and like kind of plan them out. Like, I enjoy the process of making, you know, fits and looks come together.

[Angel Reese]

That's so cool.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You're killing it. I would say, Stu, you be putting that ish on too.

[Brianna Stewart]

Girl, I know.

[Miles Turner]

Talk your shit.

[Angel Reese]

Just like.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm just lazy.

[Miles Turner]

It's okay, girl.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Get your stylist.

[Brianna Stewart]

I'm just lazy.

[Angel Reese]

See, still you pick your fits out.

[Brianna Stewart]

No, I just, I just. I've been working with Courtney Mace for a while and she's out of la, so now I'm. I'm just transitioning to a new stylist in New York. So I'm really excited about that. Just for, like, just make. Make everything a little bit easier. I don't know, Az, like, if you had to. If you could do tunnel fits in college, would you do it or no?

[Angel Reese]

Oh, absolutely not.

[Brianna Stewart]

Oh, my.

[Angel Reese]

You want to talk about lazy? I'm so lazy. I wear my pajamas. If I could. I.

[Brianna Stewart]

And what you gonna do when you get to the league? Do not.

[Miles Turner]

Do not walk on that funnel fit

[Brianna Stewart]

with some pajama pants, or I will

[Miles Turner]

never let you come through.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I will literally blow your phone up. Az. Pajamas on. No. All right. There has to be, like, diamonds on it. Like, Versace silk, fluff pink. We're not doing this.

[Angel Reese]

Oh, my gosh. Like, that's so much to think about.

[Miles Turner]

I don't know how.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You don't have to think about it. Hire people to think for you.

[Miles Turner]

Exactly. Yeah. Life is different now. Life's gonna be.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Don't worry. I'm gonna call my mama. You know, my mama gonna get you, right?

[Angel Reese]

Okay, Miles, I see all those Legos are Legos back there, right?

[Miles Turner]

Yes, indeed.

[Angel Reese]

I've been looking them the whole time. How many different sets is that, man?

[Miles Turner]

I got so many, bro. If I can, like, pan the camera around. Hold on. Let me see if I can move my laptop. This is just, like, part of my collection. So I have a house here in Dallas and Austin as well, but, like, they're, like, all over the place.

[Ashanti Plummer]

It looks like those ones, the Mario.

[Miles Turner]

So those are pretty. Yeah, those are pretty big. That's probably, like, two and a half, three feet big. Like, 5,000, 6,000 pieces each. Like, I literally sit here and put all these together, bro. It's one of my favorite hobbies. Like, I literally. I build, like, all the everything.

[Angel Reese]

Oh, that's cute. That's cute.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Stewie.

[Angel Reese]

Okay, which one is your favorite?

[Miles Turner]

My favorite. My favorite actually isn't here. So I have a house in Austin as well, where I went to college, and that's where, like, all, like, my Legos are. This is only, like, a third of my collection right here.

[Brianna Stewart]

Tell them it's lego. It's not Legos. Lego.

[Angel Reese]

Lego.

[Miles Turner]

Look at Stewie with the application.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, I feel like black people be putting the S on stuff.

[Brianna Stewart]

Day one, he was like, lego.

[Miles Turner]

And I was like, come on, Stewart.

[Ashanti Plummer]

It's okay. I'd be saying Legos.

[Miles Turner]

It's not anymore.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Not anymore.

[Miles Turner]

Within the LEGO lore, the fandom or whatnot, it's, like, a sin to call them Legos. Like they're really big on their branding or whatnot. So it's all capital letters. Lego. Come on. So I'm actually proud. I'm proud of you, girl. That's what I'm talking about. Come on.

[Angel Reese]

Locked in.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, man.

[Ashanti Plummer]

So, like when it's more than one, it's still lego.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, Still Lego, period. These are my lego.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, These are my Lego.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy.

[Ashanti Plummer]

No, I need to know because I can't, I can't.

[Brianna Stewart]

Ashanti doesn't look like she's believing it. She's.

[Miles Turner]

Hey, man, we can go through a whole class, whole lecture, but it's a lot that come with it. But it's just a really big hobby of my man. Like, you know, you'll see when you get to the league, you got so much spare time. Like you're the, you know, you'll have. You only practice maybe two, maybe three hours out the day, then you have the rest of the day to kind of just do whatever. And as I got into the league, it was just a really like, just like a mindless thing for me, man. I was able to shut the world out for a minute, you know, it doesn't matter if I had a good game, it doesn't matter if I had a bad game. Doesn't matter. Got haters on my line. Like, nothing, man. I kind of shut the world out, put some music on and just build, you know, it's, you know, it's just kind of just something that's very relaxing to me, man. And it kind of started like when I was back, you know, back in school or back like in middle school. I probably say these right here, they're called bionicles. This is like in the early 90s or whatnot. It was like a big thing, like these like robot looking things. Those like the first real, like, you know, big LEGO sets, you know, back in the day. So I started putting those together, I was a kid. And then kind of put it down for a minute. I picked it back up and when I first got the lead building it was like, oh, you fucking nerd. You weed. You this, this and that. Like, I got. Oh no, I got everything. And I took all the heat for it. But like, again, it never really deterred my path. You know what I'm saying? It's something I just really enjoy doing. And you look up now and everybody's doing it, man. Like, you know, I think it's like, it's like a huge thing, you know, something that's big in the culture, you know, people are loving it now. And, you know, again, you know, I took the heat for it, but, you know, I'm still in the middle of it all, and I have, like, over. I put together maybe over, like, 300,000 pieces, man. Like, it's just telling you, man, it's fun.

[Angel Reese]

That's amazing. I need to know how. How long the Mario ones took.

[Miles Turner]

The Mario one took probably. The Luigi probably took me about two weeks. The Yoshi one took a little bit longer. It took me about a month. And the Mario was actually a gift, so, like, I did the Luigi and the Yoshi, so.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, that's so impressive. It's an amazing collection.

[Miles Turner]

Appreciate that, man.

[Ashanti Plummer]

All right, you guys, now it's time for our button game section for this fun and game. It's going to be our start bench cut game. So we're going to give you a scenario, a topic, and you're going to have three options, and you're going to choose whether you're going to start this person, like your number one pick, bench them, solid backup, or cut. And y' all know what that means.

[Miles Turner]

Oof. This is going to be tough.

[Ashanti Plummer]

All right, this first one is OD.

[Angel Reese]

Yo, what's the in here?

[Miles Turner]

This first one is OD. All right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

UConn National Championship game down two. We need one shot. Your options are. Sorry, Your options.

[Angel Reese]

Who is this? I love you, Az, but I'm a cutting myself, too. I'm cutting myself.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Your options are Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, and Az. Put now. You know you're my girl, Az.

[Angel Reese]

It's not personal.

[Miles Turner]

I get it.

[Angel Reese]

I cut myself, too.

[Miles Turner]

Who.

[Brianna Stewart]

Who's answering this question? Y'.

[Angel Reese]

All.

[Brianna Stewart]

Me.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Y'.

[Az Fudd]

All.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Both of y'.

[Brianna Stewart]

All.

[Miles Turner]

We'll go with the one with the most UConn experience.

[Brianna Stewart]

No, no, no.

[Miles Turner]

Both of y'. All.

[Brianna Stewart]

This is. This is not right. This is not right. All right, this is. This is who? I would say not personal, az, remember?

[Angel Reese]

Okay, it's not. I would make the shot, but, like, I'm the third option in this group.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, she's having me.

[Brianna Stewart]

Listen, this is all. These are all wins right here. I'm going D first. She's like the clutchest, I think. Then I'm going to go Maya, because I'm just thinking about when she made that shot to in the playoffs. I was there because that was crazy.

[Miles Turner]

Crazy. Yeah.

[Brianna Stewart]

And then I'm going ac. But I'm not cutting anybody. I'm just cutting them all. One, two, three.

[Angel Reese]

It's not personal. I get it.

[Miles Turner]

I would Challenge that I'd probably say I'm putting Maya Moore first because when she was one of my favorite players to watch and I was in the building, bro, it was my rookie year there. She was playing against Indiana Fever against Tamika catches with them, and, bro, we were so gas. Suckers. The Fever had finally made a comeback. They lost the first couple of games and, like, look like they're about to do it. She hit that shot at the top of the key. You can hear a pin drop, bro. Literally, in the arena, it was like a collective. So just watching that myself, I have to put her, like, number one. Same thing. Az, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know you're there, but you're not there yet. You know, you're on your way. You feel me? Like, I had to put DT number two just because of, you know, the performances I've seen, especially in the Olympics or whatnot. It was like, that's where I watched her the most. And then I'm have to cut you until you keep proving yourself, man. Yeah, that's it.

[Brianna Stewart]

This is crazy.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[Brianna Stewart]

This is the producers.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. This is controversy.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Boy, this is not okay. Next one. Best sense of style doesn't get easier.

[Brianna Stewart]

I see it.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm looking up Skyler Diggins, Miles Turner, Angel Reese.

[Angel Reese]

I'm gonna go my start. I'm gonna go with Sky. I love her style, how she can mix it up. I just. I love her style. And then my bench. I'm gonna go with Miles. I'm a little more unfamiliar with your style, but, like, I'm starting to familiarize myself with it. And I like it, and I like what you're talking about. And I feel like none of these is a cut. Like, I like angel style, too. I wouldn't cut it. So I don't know. I like her style, too, but it's not a cut. It's still there. But as I'm learning more about Miles, I'm a fan, you know.

[Miles Turner]

You real for that, man. I feel bad about, you know, cutting you the last question. All right. To piggyback that. I probably, you know, of course I'm gonna start myself, you know what I'm saying? I've been putting it on for years now and then I've always liked Scarlett Dickinson the style as well. She's one of the people who's. Well, like, I don't knowre dame who, like, really, like, represented herself well and was really stepped into that branding, you know what I'm saying? I think that was very important, especially in that Transitionary period of the women's game, you know, I mean, she's something that everybody was following, so it was like, on and off, the court thing for her. And then I got to cut angel only because, you know, I like how she be popping her. She talked. She talking and she, you know, she walks that. She did the Victoria's Secret, you know, fashion show and everything. Like, she really lives it and embodies it. You know what I'm saying? But just for, you know, for the home team. I gotta cut it for this time.

[Brianna Stewart]

Well, I think everybody has the same number one. Sky number one. She was just at the Grammys, and, like, that fit. That was. That fit was fire. I'm gonna go number two with angel because I still have to see in my mind, Miles. I have to. I want to understand the Western style more.

[Miles Turner]

Okay.

[Brianna Stewart]

Okay. Me personally, I just can't figure out the cowboy.

[Miles Turner]

You're from New York. I get it. You know, y' all gankies up there.

[Brianna Stewart]

We went to Tim's in the hats.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Hey, come on. Constructs. Okay.

[Brianna Stewart]

So sorry, Miles. I'm just cut you on that one, but I'm gonna. I'm gonna go look. Look up some pictures after this and see.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Next thing you know, she's wearing cowboy boots.

[Brianna Stewart]

Maybe when I play in Dallas this year, you can, like, help me.

[Miles Turner]

Oh, I got that snakeskin, that fight, you know, I got the Oscar alligator. What you need?

[Brianna Stewart]

Wow. Okay.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Most unguardable.

[Angel Reese]

No, I think you need a dresser, though. This needs to happen.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You talking.

[Miles Turner]

He can address you, too. Yeah, no, we do a whole collab next year. You're right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I love it.

[Miles Turner]

Perfect.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay. Most unguardable. Breanna Stewart. Nafeesa Collier. Kevin Durant. This is crazy.

[Brianna Stewart]

I see what we're doing here. We're just going to put one person in everything.

[Miles Turner]

Just a couple more. Just a couple more shots here and there. Well, I can only speak from, you know, some experience. You know, like, KD is 7 foot and can literally do everything, you know, I mean, his release point is so high. Like, I'm 7ft tall, and I can't, like, you know, I can't block his jump shot. You know what I'm saying? So I can only imagine what it'd be like, you know, for y' all trying to guard him. So I'm gonna go ahead and. Go ahead and put him at number one, because, again, like, what people don't realize is how deceptively quick he is even at his age right now. He gets to his spots. You know what I mean, he does a great, amazing job and finding where he wants to be on the floor. Target man, get there. So I'll put her number one. I'm gonna put Stewie number two. And it's not just because, you know, she's my esteemed co host, just because I actually do watch the game again, like, you kind of spoke to as well, Az earlier that, like, Stewie can. Doesn't matter who's guarding her whatnot. Her versatility is kind of just takes over, you know what I mean? So she can just kind of get her shot off over anybody. She has a very patient game. That's one of the things that I told her, like, when we first started podcast. One thing I love about her is just her poise and her patience. You know, she doesn't. She never looks rattled or sped up. I love Fee's game. I really do. Especially these past couple years. It's been amazing watching her come up. But, like, I'm gonna take you over her just because of what I've seen personally, even though she is a bucket.

[Brianna Stewart]

Thank you.

[Miles Turner]

Well said.

[Angel Reese]

For me, Like, I think, like, Katie's just like, we're cutting him. Because that's not even fair. Like, we're cutting him.

[Miles Turner]

Good boy. All right. All right.

[Angel Reese]

We're cutting him. And Stevie and Fee, like, you guys unguardable. You guys got it. Nothing either of you can't do.

[Brianna Stewart]

Honestly, like, I don't know. I would like to see that. Like, I want to see, like, I know Katie's got a crazy release point, but I want to see, like, where. Where my arm is going to be compared to. Compared to that.

[Miles Turner]

Listen, my. I'm nine foot six when I do this. I'm nine six when I stand up. Like, so when I tell you his release point is literally, like, 9 7. I can't describe it, bro. It's actually something crazy.

[Ashanti Plummer]

The last one. Who's winning one on one. Brianna Stewart. Miles Turner. Az. Butt.

[Miles Turner]

Who's on first team? What's up?

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'll answer first.

[Brianna Stewart]

I mean, I feel like if everybody doesn't say themselves.

[Miles Turner]

Come on. But you really. Are you really a Hooper?

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, I'm going with me.

[Brianna Stewart]

I know.

[Miles Turner]

That's right.

[Brianna Stewart]

Az.

[Miles Turner]

Okay. Okay, let's start here.

[Brianna Stewart]

If you try to get down, don't tell me, Miles. I'm a foul

[Angel Reese]

play to your strength. There you go.

[Brianna Stewart]

Yeah, there's.

[Angel Reese]

I'm gonna start with the ball, and I'm gonna hit 11 straight, period. Because if I bother to get the ball, like, I'm not so sure I'm getting it back. Actually, I'm pretty positive. Unless, like, I've gotta pray for a miss. But I'm not getting it back. So I gotta go 11 straight. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You got to just shoot for.

[Miles Turner]

So one thing I'll say about you is, you know, I've obviously watched you playing or you're really good off of action to win it. You come off pin downs really well, especially on the right side of the floor. You come over. No, sorry. Yeah, the right. Left side. Come over this way. I'm being so serious. I. I watch basketball. Yo, but I've seen you, like, in action. You feel me? I know you can shoot the ball, too. Like a 40 shooter or something like that. Like something crazy. But as far as just straight ones. Straight ones. How is he going to get around me? That's what I want to know.

[Angel Reese]

That's a great question. I think my first goal. I just got to move you. Like, I feel like you're. I don't.

[Miles Turner]

I'm not the quickest laterally. No, I'm not the quickest ladder.

[Angel Reese]

I gotta move you a little bit. I just. I need and just enough space to get my shot off. Just enough.

[Brianna Stewart]

Okay.

[Angel Reese]

And it's gonna be some trial and error because, you know, I'm sure you're

[Miles Turner]

long, but I don't know, I just look like this. I'm also 270 now. Like, I just look,

[Brianna Stewart]

honestly, I think. I think it's. Whoever. Whoever scores first will probably win this game no matter what.

[Miles Turner]

That makes sense. You'll keep the ball.

[Brianna Stewart]

I'm gonna go with myself. I'm gonna post AZ up and I'm. No, yeah, I'm gonna post a up. I'm shoot over miles.

[Miles Turner]

Shoot over me. Okay, word. All right, all right. I'm just letting off. I'm not going. So if this sounds great, I'm not going. Okay, hold on. Here's about this. You only get two or three dribbles because it's caveats. You can dribble the entire time. You know, it gets a little different.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, my goodness. I don't know the rules.

[Angel Reese]

We're going to make clock 7 check

[Brianna Stewart]

clocks for your western. Our western style. We play one on one.

[Miles Turner]

All right, all right, all right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I want to see this. I would like to rap.

[Miles Turner]

This could be a whole thing, man. It's the NBA WBA crossing.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Come on. I heart and unanimous set it up.

[Brianna Stewart]

Welcome back to our special crossover episode of Game Recognized Game and butt around

[Brianna Stewart]

and find out on Game Recognized Game. We do a couple of things at the end of my show, and one of them is called Stewie's Parents Corner, where I give parenting advice to Miles and anyone who cares. But today, I'm gonna give life advice to az. Also, first, I'm gonna give parenting advice because my son Teo is obsessed with Hot Wheels. And did you guys know that underneath the Hot Wheels, like the upside down part of the car, it tells their name, like the name of the car. So now he's bringing every single car to me and said, what's this name? What's this name? What's his name? McLaren. This some other Acura, some other. They just constantly named the car, so if anybody's wondering, they're underneath.

[Miles Turner]

I've had Hot Wheels my whole life. I didn't know that.

[Angel Reese]

I didn't know that I had.

[Brianna Stewart]

See, look at the underneath.

[Miles Turner]

All right.

[Brianna Stewart]

My life advice would be to make sure that you have people around you to help you stay organized. Because while there are moments where you can do Lego, there is also moments where you are so busy all day, every day. So making sure that you have that balance of like you're trying to do things and build your brand and like be in the gym and all this stuff. But you have to have somebody that's also there and looking, looking out for your best interest on when you have to say no. And, and that's something that I've learned more recently is like saying no to things even though I want to do them or I'm super interested in them. I just like can't stretch myself too thin. And you don't want to stretch yourself too thin so that you can't be your best when you're supposed to be. And that's literally on the basketball court. So like find a healthy balance. Because in college it's kind of created for you. You know, you go to school, you have study hall, you have practice, whatever, like, and then you have chill time in the pros, it's like nobody's making, nobody's looking out for your chill time except you and the people around you. So like lock that in all the time.

[Miles Turner]

Protect your peace, man, that's so real.

[Angel Reese]

I've gotten some good. I gotta take notes after this one of all the advice I've gotten from

[Miles Turner]

the two of you. Got some good bets in the game.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Run the episode back.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, man. So our other closing segment is called New to Stewie where I teach you something about what I'm into. You know, in the past, not Lego. A couple episodes ago, we did some by yoga, you know, breath techniques and whatnot. You know, I just. Modern Renaissance, man. I'm into a lot of different things. So I got a new one for y' all today. Look around. All right, class, everybody know what this is?

[Ashanti Plummer]

It's a Rubik's cube.

[Miles Turner]

For those who are listening.

[Brianna Stewart]

You know how to do that?

[Miles Turner]

I can. It's something that over the pandemic, it's one of those times where I just got really bored. Just wanted to challenge myself with something. And I just kind of figured out the algorithm of this thing. It's pretty cool. So it's a six sided thing, right? I got a little party trick for y'. All. It would take me a long ass time to figure to, you know, teach y' all how to do this on the camera. But anytime you have a solid Rubik's Cube around. You want to find the white side and you put it face down. Right. No offense to it. You find the white side, you put a face down. And then you could pick any color after that and have it facing you. Right? So the biggest algorithm here, it's up, left, down right. I know that sounds crazy, so we're gonna go slow. Up left, down right.

[Angel Reese]

Okay.

[Miles Turner]

It's kind of hard to show you on the camera, but just remember that countertop, right? Cool. So if you take it, you face it with your right hand. You're gonna go up left, down, right. All right, now the party trick is you're gonna show it to the, to the crowd or whatnot. It looks crazy. It looks like it's all messed up. So you remember the side that you're on, and you do that six times because it's a six sided figure. So you go up, left, down right. Up left, down right, up left, down right, up, left, down, right, up, left, down, right, up. And now it's back soft.

[Angel Reese]

Let's write this down.

[Miles Turner]

So again. So again, the party trick you're gonna do yourself. Find the color that you want, find the face that you want, right? So I'm gonna go blue. It's my favorite color. So I'm gonna go up left, down right. You don't want the crowd to see that it's solved, right? So before you show everybody, show them that it's like messed up. Up left, down right. It's like, oh, look everybody, I can solve a Rubik's Cube, blah, blah, blah, blah. Up left, the party trick. Up left, down right. Up left, down right. Up, left, down, right. Up left, down right. And it's back to normal.

[Brianna Stewart]

Okay, so do you know how to solve a Rubik's Cube or you just know how to con them?

[Miles Turner]

No, no, wait, are you doing it or no, you're trying me? I feel trying. I can absolutely solve a Rubik's Cube. Like I said I can do it like under like two minutes.

[Brianna Stewart]

Are you tricking us? Does not work for solving it. That's just for like.

[Miles Turner]

It's just when it's messed up again, you can trick people and make them and like into thinking you can have a solve like a Rubik's Script or something like that. Yeah. So again, okay, you show it to them. All messed up, not solved. It's like, look, I bet I can solve this in under 30 seconds. I'm like, nah, you crazy. Whatever. So you get it up left, down right. Up left, down right, up left. We're gonna have to cut that part for show.

[Brianna Stewart]

I need a Rubik's Cube.

[Miles Turner]

That's my new studio, man. You know, it's fun. I think Rubik's Cube is something I've always was into when I was a kid over the pandemic, whatnot. I tried my entire life as a kid to figure it out, and then as I got into it, I just figured out over time.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Thank you, Miles.

[Brianna Stewart]

That's great.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, thank you. I'm gonna use that later tonight. That's a fact.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm like, up left, down right.

[Angel Reese]

Up left, down right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

All right, you guys, this is now a segment that we do on FUD around and find out called what the FUD of the week. So what the FUD of the week is something that happened this week that made you say, what the fuck?

[Miles Turner]

We.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Since you guys are, you know, crossover episode, we'll let you guys go first and then I'll say mine last.

[Miles Turner]

All right, man. So my what the foot of the week? Sure. Not sure if everybody watched the dunk contest.

[Brianna Stewart]

The silence.

[Ashanti Plummer]

The silence is hooray, yo.

[Miles Turner]

The all star game is dead. It's not even funny. All right, I'm gonna run that for that.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I was there.

[Miles Turner]

I didn't watch it either, so just so we're there. But anyways. All right. Yeah, man. So my what the FUD of the week is. Rookie Jace Richardson. Man, this was a tough one to watch because you know, his pops, Jason Richardson, is one of the best in game dunkers, Best dunk contest participants of all time. And I'm sure you guys may have saw the viral clip where he went up and it looked like he went from the side of the backboard and tried to, like, throw it off, do a 360 dunk, and his arm got stuck and he came down and smacked his head on the floor. And as a rookie, man, in your first, like, all star environment, a lot of pressure with your pops being, you know, who he is. I bet that was just a tough feeling to recover from. You know, he ended up, you know, being okay and finishing a dunk contest, but, like, I'm sure just like, it was just a gut wrenching reaction of like, oh, you know what I mean? That was just a tough one for me personally to watch. That's. That's my what the photo of the week.

[Brianna Stewart]

I didn't know that was Jason Richardson's son. I did see that, though.

[Angel Reese]

I did, too.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, it's tough.

[Brianna Stewart]

My what the FUD moment of the week. Was when I lost in one on one. I felt like that was a moment where I could be like, what the fud? But also, like, I. So you get these timeouts in one on one. So I took a timeout because I was just getting, like, bodied, and I sat on the bench or whatever, and my kids have no idea what's happening, right? So I have, like, Ruby's trying to give me my jacket that I told her to hold. This is in my 30 seconds as I'm trying to gather my life to win one on one, and Tao's just, like, sitting right in between my legs, and I'm like. Literally, I'm like, what the fudge? That could be my moment. My. My loss.

[Angel Reese]

Like, do your kids know how goaded their moms are? That's like. I know they, like, they're not there yet, but when you were talking about how the Paris Olympics was your favorite because, like, your family was there. Your kids were there. They got to witness that. It's like they don't realize they're watching. Like, they're watching greatness every single time they watch history.

[Brianna Stewart]

No, like, Ruby. Ruby understands a little bit because she. She. She just has been around a little bit more. But she, like, is always quick to. To put me in check. She's like, mommy, I made seven baskets in a row on the mini hoop, and you missed. You made zero. Thank you. All right. My.

[Angel Reese]

What the fud. I'm also going to go unraveled with the fud was the championship game. I guess I forgot that the championship of the finals game is best of three. And I. Boy, that watching the. I got. I was tired for them.

[Brianna Stewart]

They were gags. They.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, they were giving it their all. And also, like, the first game being 7 0, and then I. I was just impressed. I was impressed by it. They were competing so hard, and it was crazy, but it was so much fun to watch, for sure.

[Brianna Stewart]

Literally, when they were both, like, dying, I thought I was like, are they just gonna split it? Are they just gonna be like, let's split it?

[Angel Reese]

Like, you think that nobody could support, like, maybe, like, if I let you score here?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Not with that money on the line. Right.

[Brianna Stewart]

Okay.

[Ashanti Plummer]

My. What the FUD of the week is I got to meet Michelle Obama at all Star weekend.

[Miles Turner]

That's badass.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I had the opportunity to link up with her through a brand, and it was like, me and four other people and we sat down and talked for, like, an hour, and that changed my life. I'm a different person now. New outlook on life. She's very like, she just gives auntie grandma, like, family vibes.

[Miles Turner]

Heard you.

[Ashanti Plummer]

And she looks amazing for her to be in her 60s. And she'll tell you, you know, she's

[Angel Reese]

like, I'm 60 something.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Like, girl, I play tennis. I just love to be able to sit down and chat with her. What I left with from that conversation was like, quite a lot. But if I would sum it up, I learned how much she cares and still cares even after being out of the, like, after not being the first lady anymore, how important it is nutrition is to her. Like, I was part of that generation where our cafeteria got rid of, like, the snacks and the vending machines and brought in all the healthy food. During that time. I let her know I was like, didn't love it. Holding up the celery, like, where's my gummy bears? But in hindsight, I'm like, it makes a difference. Like, healthy lifestyle, learning from young so you can be better as an adult. So that's my what? The FUD of the week.

[Angel Reese]

That's insane. That's insane.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. I think that trumps all of ours 100%.
