Ashanti Plummer
Hey everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Fut around and find out. I'm here with my incredible co host Ashanti Ashanti, what's up?
Az Fudd
Hey girl, what's up with you. I've been seeing a lot of fun things online with you and Mr. Taylor Swift is what I like to call him. How'd you guys meet?
Ashanti Plummer
Um, we actually met in 2017. I think I was in eighth grade. I used to play flag football. Fun. That's always my fun fact. People ask for a fun fact. My fun fact is I won a flag football national championship. So it was right after we won and we were at Disney celebrating, and he was there for the Pro bowl, and I didn't watch football, so I had no idea who he was. My teammate knew who he was, recognized him, loves him. So we took a group picture, and I think it's so funny. Cause it just made this a really, like, full circle moment. So I did a campaign with Travis Kelce's clothing line, True Colors and American Eagle. So getting to show him that picture and be like, we've actually met before. Like, I know you don't remember it, but I thought that was so funny.
Az Fudd
I love the fits. I mean, the colors. It just gives. Really cool, but, like, expensive. So that's really cool.
Kahmora Arnold
That's dope.
Ashanti Plummer
Yeah. I'm excited that it's finally out so I can start wearing some of it.
Az Fudd
And he sung your high praises on his podcast. I don't know if you saw, but he was just like, basically saying, you're one of the best players in the nation. I was like, mm, get it right? So he's definitely a fan of yours too.
Ashanti Plummer
I was very surprised. I was honored. My friend sent it to me and she was like, I can't believe Taylor Swift's fiance mentioned you on his pod.
Az Fudd
Mr. Taylor Swift. We should definitely get them on the pod.
Ashanti Plummer
That would be nuts. That would be crazy.
Az Fudd
Come on, ask them. Come on.
Ashanti Plummer
Are you a Swiftie?
Az Fudd
Listen, I wear short skirt.
Ashanti Plummer
Oh, that's a banger.
Az Fudd
Yes, yes, of course. I'm like a OG Swifty, though. I'm like, first couple albums, I'm the same way. But, yeah, definitely would love to have them pull up on us.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay. I feel like we might as well ask. The worst they can do is say no, right?
Az Fudd
Girl, you gotta ask.
Ashanti Plummer
I will ask, but the worst they can do is say no.
Kahmora Arnold
That's true.
Az Fudd
That's facts. So that's what you got into this past week. I'm like, wait. And I'm like, I like your shirt.
Ashanti Plummer
What is it?
Kahmora Arnold
So.
Az Fudd
Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad you asked. As you know, this is our favorite color. This shirt my mom actually made is fluffy and like, frilly and It's a crop. And she cut it up and sent it to me. And I was like, you need to be a stylist. And she's like, I'll just style you. I'm like, no, girl, there's money to make in this world.
Ashanti Plummer
Add me to that list, please listen.
Az Fudd
No, she would. She loves a good girly look or like an elevated streetwear look. That's like her favorite things to put on me. And I'm like, yeah, girl, I'll be your model any day as long as you're sending it for free.
Ashanti Plummer
Wait, how did I not know that? That's so cool.
Az Fudd
No. Yeah, a lot of my looks, even from when we were at All Star, my mom picked that out. Like she put it together now. Yeah, she's dope. I got your number. I'll let her know. She'll tune into the pod and she'll be like, tell AZ yes.
Ashanti Plummer
Yeah, I need to meet her. Yeah, we need to see some.
Az Fudd
Oh wait, the moms get together. I would love that. Wait, I got some fun stu coming up that I want to tell you about.
Ashanti Plummer
Please tell me.
Az Fudd
So I am. Well, I mean, not just me, but me and my team, we're opening up a gym. It's called the program NYC and it's like youth basketball. And we're opening on the 2nd of September in New York. And I mean like the open invitation to you is always out there, but basically it's going to be surrounding just giving a space for kids from 6 and up and even adults to be able to play basketball, to lift weights, to learn about nutrition, to have recovery. And so basically it's just like a one stop shop and a bunch of like big names are gonna pop out and be there.
Ashanti Plummer
That's so cool.
Az Fudd
So you're back at school. How are you feeling about it?
Ashanti Plummer
I'm feeling tired, but I'm so excited. First of all, just to have some consistency in my schedule. That's been incredible, but it's been good. It's been so nice to see everyone. Everyone's tan, everyone's happy and smiling. It's been a lot of fun so far, so I'm very, very excited.
Az Fudd
Is there any teachers that you're looking forward to seeing again? I know that's kind of tough, but I mean, I had some teachers who were my favorites. I didn't say I like the schoolwork, but some teachers that I love.
Ashanti Plummer
I had teachers in high school that I loved in middle school and elementary school. I feel like college is harder to at least for me. To have, like, that kind of bond. Maybe because I grew up going to a school that was very intimate. It was 12 kids in a classroom. And so, like, we were very close. We were very close. The whole grade was close. The classroom was close.
Az Fudd
You were in private school? 12 kids.
Ashanti Plummer
Yeah. So now there's a huge lecture. I'm like, I go and I introduce myself, or I used to introduce myself to my professor the first day. And then unless I'm missing for a game even then, I usually just send an email, but there's not much real interaction. You had favorite professors in college?
Az Fudd
Absolutely. The ones that never made it a big deal that I had to miss for basketball. It's like, come on. You know what I do. I would love to be here, but I have a game, so don't give me a hard time. Help me, please. I mean, going to a school with 12 kids. It was a private school in, like, the suburbs or the city.
Ashanti Plummer
Suburbs, yeah.
Kahmora Arnold
Okay.
Az Fudd
Yeah, that's definitely different. I went to school in the city, and it's like, 30 kids in the classroom. I mean, as many kids as you could fit is how that went down.
Kahmora Arnold
So, yes.
Az Fudd
You're in grad school now?
Ashanti Plummer
I am. I'm getting my master's in business.
Az Fudd
Why'd you choose business?
Ashanti Plummer
So I went into college wanting to graduate early so I could get my master's, just, like, for bragging rights. So I was gonna do sport management. Cause that was what I've heard is the easiest, what a bunch of people do. And then, like, very last semester, before I was gonna graduate, I took a financial literacy class. And it was really interesting. And, I mean, I have to give the professor all the credit because you could tell, like, he just really enjoyed teaching. He's from Canada, and he would talk about Drake and, like, make questions and problems so fun. So that's really what drew me in. And I was like, you know what? If I'm going to be here for another two years, if I'm going to, like, be in school, I might as well do something a little more practical and useful. Like, I don't know what I want to do in the future, but whatever route I go, having my MBA will only help. So I went for it. And that's like, with taking no prior business classes at all. My major was communication. So, like, the finance, the business law, the operations management. I'm like, what are they talking about? So I'm learning a lot, no?
Az Fudd
Yeah, for sure. I think business is one of those degrees that you can apply literally everywhere, for sure. There's always a business side to everything. Even if you're more, you know, artsy, creative, there's still a business side to that. So good on you, girl. How do you balance, like, I mean, you did just start going back to school, but you've been in school these past four years. How have you balanced that school and basketball life?
Ashanti Plummer
I really think the high school I went to prepared me for or just like the schedule I had growing up where it was how sometimes you go to school early, sometimes you don't, you go there on time, sometimes you work out in the morning, then at school for eight hours, and then you have maybe a break in between where you try to get some work done. Then it's bachelor practice and then more homework and then like you're in a car and then it's dinner time, then it's bedtime, you do the whole thing again. I feel like having like that discipline to be able to get my homework done in the car, get my homework done anywhere. Mind you, I'm still a procrastinator, but my work does get done.
Az Fudd
Diamonds are made under pressure.
Ashanti Plummer
That's what I'm saying. Exactly. Being in college where now like you're only, you're taking less classes, it's less busy work, and being able to do homework on the planes and on the bus makes it a lot easier. But you learn. Like I said, I have least favorite professors because they're professors that have been like miserable to work with to me. Like that was on me because I should have communicated and worked with them earlier. And then waiting like last minute, like I said, I'm a procrastinator, waiting last minute to communicate with them about stuff. And they were not helpful. But that's on me at the end of the day. So I worked on that. And then I communicate a little earlier. I'm a little more proactive, but I feel like having a good relationship with your academic advisor goes a long way.
Az Fudd
You hear it here. First, get a relationship with your academic advisor or at least, you know, be proactive with communicating if you're gonna miss out for sure. All right, enough of that school stuff. We have a special guest coming up next.
Ashanti Plummer
That's right, my teammate KK Arnold will be joining us in a second.

Kahmora Arnold
Why would you do that? Hey, guys.
Ashanti Plummer
Hey, kk.
Kahmora Arnold
Hey, y'. All. How y' all doing?
Ashanti Plummer
Hi, kk.
Kahmora Arnold
Hey.
Az Fudd
Hi, kk. We're so happy to have you. Kk, do you remember how we first met?
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah. That was a wild night. It was.
Az Fudd
Okay, so for the listeners, Me and KK met at Paige's draft party. We were on the dance floor actually having a dance battle. I believe we were crumping, to be specific, and there is picture evidence.
Kahmora Arnold
There is.
Az Fudd
There is, yes. Paige ended up posting a picture from mid battle on her Instagram.
Ashanti Plummer
Who won?
Az Fudd
Listen, I don't. Hey, you know, I don't like, hey, we're just gonna have to do round three, because since then, we had another dance battle All Star Weekend. So I think I'm saying that one in one. Okay, I'll give you that one. I'll give you that one. We're 1 1. We gotta finish the tiebreaker.
Kahmora Arnold
We do.
Ashanti Plummer
Wait, you guys met at Paige's draft party? I just processed that.
Kahmora Arnold
Yes, yes. Like, I literally, like, we met. Like, we were cousins. Regular.
Ashanti Plummer
Wait, I didn't even meet her at Paige's draft party. You were there?
Az Fudd
Yeah, girl, I was there. We didn't meet. Actually, we really did. Well, I saw you. I saw you. But you were, like, in and out. You wasn't on a dance floor getting busy with us.
Kahmora Arnold
You know me, I go straight to the dance floor. So there's like.
Az Fudd
Absolutely.
Ashanti Plummer
After this year, I'll be going straight to the dance floor as well.
Kahmora Arnold
Oh, but, yes, you will be.
Ashanti Plummer
KK's teaching me how to dance this.
Kahmora Arnold
Year, and she's getting better and better each and every day, mind you see, the rhythm is coming back, y'. All.
Ashanti Plummer
My black side is coming out.
Kahmora Arnold
We're gonna find it and is. Wait, wait, wait.
Az Fudd
Okay, so I can't wait to see the new dance moves. Cause you've been eating it up at the Tiktoks, both of y'.
Kahmora Arnold
All.
Az Fudd
So is that credit going to KK she be carrying?
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah. Also, I have to give Az credit as well. Like, it's always been in there. It just hasn't got brought out yet. You know what I mean?
Ashanti Plummer
And KK is the one that she's like, come here.
Kahmora Arnold
Unlocking.
Az Fudd
Ms. KK. We got. We got questions for you. Okay. Okay, so our trailer came out and there's a clip of you saying, az's too faced. So we are giving you an opportunity to break that down for us. Cause you not just gonna be calling my girl out her name.
Kahmora Arnold
No, not like that. Like, not, like, in a bad way. But like, I'm saying, like, okay. Even Az can say, when I first had met Az, Az thought I was too much for her was her words, which, like, maybe it can come off strong to some people, but, like, I didn't really do that much. I was literally just dancing, you know, I was just being me. And, like, every time, like, I would see AZ space, like, she would just be, like, side eyeing me. And, like, I felt, like, really sad.
Az Fudd
Oh.
Kahmora Arnold
She upset me. Like, I was really upset.
Ashanti Plummer
You upset me when you were doing a lot.
Kahmora Arnold
No, I wasn't. But then towards the end of the year, as I read the room, I left her alone. Then I saw the other side of her where she was, like, smiling at me, which is weird.
Az Fudd
When did the smiling at you start?
Kahmora Arnold
Towards the end of the year.
Az Fudd
Not. It took a whole year for her to warm up.
Ashanti Plummer
And then the next year, we were besties. And now look at us. We've come a long way.
Kahmora Arnold
We have me and foot like this.
Az Fudd
Now, as you can see, I see y' all all over TikTok. I be getting into it. How does that even start? You guys just find something that you like and you decide, okay, we gonna break it down.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, we send each other dances.
Ashanti Plummer
I'm like, KK, let's make a TikTok today. KK, can we make a TikTok today? That's how it goes.
Kahmora Arnold
I'm like, learn this real quick. Real quick. Takes a little five, 10 minutes.
Ashanti Plummer
So we asked our listeners to come up with some questions to ask you. So we're going to go through some of them. All right?
Kahmora Arnold
Okay.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay. The first one was they wanted to know at Kelsey Plum's dog camp, did you really want to take that puppy home with you?
Kahmora Arnold
I did. I'm not even going to lie. I contacted the dog breeder, and I was like, how much? And all this Other stuff. And she was very open to, like, take the dog to the airport, ship her to me. Like, it was about to happen. I was like, let me think about this when I get to school, when I really have time. But I was, like, really sad. But one person did get the dog. One person did get a dog.
Ashanti Plummer
Really? Like one of the dogs from the.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, one of the dogs from the dog bodies. Literally. They bought the dog, got it, brought it got brought to the airport, and boom.
Ashanti Plummer
Wait, why didn't you do that? I would have helped you raise his puppy.
Kahmora Arnold
I was about to, and then. You already know how my mom is. Yeah.
Ashanti Plummer
CD wouldn't have liked that. I would have been in full support. I would have been the best dog on.
Kahmora Arnold
I said, like, I feel like it would have been, like, a great team pet, but it's okay. Maybe sometime. Not this year or anything, but next time. Next time for sure. Next time.
Ashanti Plummer
Maybe a team. Like fish. Team cat.
Kahmora Arnold
Team. Team cat. No, team fish. How about team starfish? Like Patrick? Okay.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay, next question. They want to know where your sayings come from. So let's start with girly pop. How did that start?
Kahmora Arnold
Okay, girly pop. Like, that was literally, like, how I greeted people, and it's like, now, of course.
Ashanti Plummer
When did you come up with that?
Kahmora Arnold
I don't know. I would first start off with, like. I think I started off with, hey, girly. Like, haggly. Hey, girly. Like, I'll say it to everybody. I know. I think. I really think my freshman year, I added the pop.
Ashanti Plummer
Like, freshman year at UConn.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, UConn. I was like, hey, girly pops. Hey, girly pop. Like, that just got added. It literally just came out the blue. Literally out the blue. You're so creative. I know. Cause I think girly got old for me. And I was like, you know, let's try to add on or find something else.
Ashanti Plummer
Add some spice.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah.
Ashanti Plummer
Hey, girlypop.
Kahmora Arnold
I'm crying. Yeah.
Az Fudd
Okay, so what about girl? So, boom. What about that one?
Kahmora Arnold
Okay, so, boom. That's basically like a story starter. Like, I'll be like, okay, so this is what happened. Like this. How you know, I'm gonna get into it. Like, quiet. Now I'm gonna tell a story like that. That's how most people know I'm gonna tell a story or I'm about to start talking. Okay, so, boom.
Ashanti Plummer
Yeah, I feel like, okay, so, boom. Like, it's gonna be a good story.
Kahmora Arnold
It's gonna be a great story.
Ashanti Plummer
All right, tell your what about. I know.
Kahmora Arnold
That's Right. Okay. This. This actually started a practice. One of our coaches, assistant coaches, like, after, like, every. Like, if something happens and go to practice, like, say, for instance, like, az makes a three year. Like, Sarah has a good move down low. Like, coach would be like, I know that's right.
Ashanti Plummer
Like, I know that's right.
Kahmora Arnold
You better go, I know that's right. Or like, if something happened off the court, she hears something like, or a roast or something, she'll be like, I know that's right. Carrie. I know that's right. So I just start saying it. So shout out to coach Jay.
Ashanti Plummer
She does a really good job of saying it. Like, she sounds just like Jay.
Kahmora Arnold
I really had to post a video of Jay saying, I know that's right. So people can have a great understanding. Because I really got it from her. Like, shout out to her. She's a trend center. Yeah, I know that's right. See? See, it just fits right in.
Az Fudd
Girl boo.
Kahmora Arnold
Okay, sorry. This is really frustrating.
Az Fudd
Y'.
Kahmora Arnold
All, Please, please stop coming up to me, greeting me, saying, hey, girl boo.
Ashanti Plummer
Say, hey, girly pop.
Kahmora Arnold
Girly pop is the greeting. Girl boo is like, dismissal. And y' all are dismissing me. Every time y' all try to greet me, y' all are literally telling me, hey, girl boo. I. I need a hey, girly pop. So I know, like, we're about to start a conversation or, like, it's a high. Let's talk girl.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay, so boom. Yeah.
Kahmora Arnold
Like, see, you ate with. That's a great example. If you come to me like, hey, girl boo and walk away, I would be like, oh, did she just dismiss me? Like, she ate me up? Like, that's what I'm going to thank y'. All. So, like. But girl boo is like, if somebody tried to roast me, like, Sarah, say a joke about me or Az, I'd be like, girl, boom. And like, you know, dismiss it. Like, leave me alone. That's what girl boo is used for. Not agreeing.
Ashanti Plummer
I'm glad we have that clarification.
Kahmora Arnold
Thank you. Got that.
Az Fudd
People stop coming up to her. Stop coming up to her, talking about girl boo.
Kahmora Arnold
Hey, girl boo.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay, if you could pick a song that plays when you walk into a room, any song, what would it be?
Kahmora Arnold
Almost there. Princess and a frog.
Ashanti Plummer
I mean, that's a great song, but really for your, like, when you walk in the room, that's what plays.
Kahmora Arnold
Oh, like an intro type song.
Az Fudd
Az, you too. What would your song be?
Kahmora Arnold
Easy go first.
Ashanti Plummer
You can't tell me on the spot like that.
Kahmora Arnold
I'm sorry.
Az Fudd
Because I have to think I can start.
Kahmora Arnold
Okay. Yes.
Az Fudd
I really like. I don't know if it's called bad or bad girl by Usher. What y' all know about a supermodel is an. Come on.
Kahmora Arnold
Oh, I got mine. I got mine. Mine will be. Because it just came out and I've been addicted to it since. Take me through there. I was like, take me through there. Take me through there. And that's coming dancing.
Ashanti Plummer
Like, help me.
Kahmora Arnold
You want to up tempo song or like a R B type beat?
Ashanti Plummer
Whatever you think fits me better.
Kahmora Arnold
I don't know. You've been hooked to the song folded lately. Not gonna lie. But that would be a good intro song. Like, I feel like.
Ashanti Plummer
Like, why am I telling you to come pick up my clothes right now?
Kahmora Arnold
Because, like, pick up my clothes. I just dropped them. I'm the princess type beat. Like, I like right off the dome.
Az Fudd
Not at all. That is redefining the whole song.
Kahmora Arnold
Redefining it.
Az Fudd
Okay, so kk, you live stream talent shows. You bringing that back for us?
Kahmora Arnold
Actually, I will. Like, they won't be like, as like, you heard it here first, like, every day. But I. I need to so I can give love to the fans, the people, and give them what they want to see. But also, I just feel like those create a great team bonding exercise.
Ashanti Plummer
But be demure. Like, behavior.
Kahmora Arnold
Yes, please. I feel like that was the biggest issue. Y' all were not very demure.
Ashanti Plummer
Like, if you act out, then there's no more talent shows, so act right.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah. Like, y' all know when y' all act out. That's the crazy part. And y' all know exactly when I'm about to end that live. That's exactly the problem. So once y' all get away from that. Yeah, Keep it on mute. We'll be cute.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay, what was your welcome to UConn or welcome to the NCAA moment?
Kahmora Arnold
Okay, well, it started in practice. I got switched onto Aaliyah, and that's not a good idea. We were playing pickup, and I got switched on Aaliyah, and I was yelling for help, but it just didn't come quick enough. And Aaliyah, like, she didn't, like, clip me with her elbow, but she almost did. I moved out the way quick enough, but I feel like that was a good one. That was a scare endgame, I want to say. We were playing against Texas, and this was my first time against Rory Harmon. So, like, another. Another fast, quick guard, and I just didn't. She had a really good game, that game.
Ashanti Plummer
Honestly, everything about the beginning of your freshman Year was a welcome to college.
Kahmora Arnold
That was so rough. That was. It was. Oh, my. Oh, the trip to the row.
Ashanti Plummer
NC State. Cayman.
Kahmora Arnold
Oh, my God.
Ashanti Plummer
That was. That's a bad start.
Kahmora Arnold
I'm not gonna lie. Came in, actually, just the whole beginning of the freshman season was like I said, but Texas, I feel like that was the most rememberable one for me. I don't even want to think about Cayman.
Ashanti Plummer
I had a great time in Cayman, if anyone was wondering.
Az Fudd
Okay, so what do you. Where are you guys most excited to play then this year?
Kahmora Arnold
I don't know.
Ashanti Plummer
I'm excited to play at usc. I've never been there before.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah.
Ashanti Plummer
Not so excited about the travel, but I feel like that'll be fun. I feel like there's a lot of, like, stars out there, so I hope, like, some cool people pop out and come to the game. Other than that, I honestly don't even know who we play this year.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, I would say usc, too, but also, I know we play Ohio State. I just know that.
Ashanti Plummer
At Ohio State or at home?
Kahmora Arnold
No, I think it's at home. But I just know all of my family will probably be there since the kids Ohio State, so I'm excited for.
Ashanti Plummer
That one because you're from Ohio.
Kahmora Arnold
Anyways. Give me your hand.
Az Fudd

Kk. Okay, so I was born in Ohio, raised in Wisconsin, if that makes sense. So, like, I. I left, like, Ohio, like, when I was like, third, fourth grade maybe. Yeah. But all of my family still lives in Ohio, like, right now. Like, when I go back from the summer, I'm usually in Ohio and spent, like, some of the time maybe in Wisconsin. But that's where my niece and nephew, brother, sister, that's where they're all at.

Kahmora Arnold
She don't play what? She don't play about everything. She came out her a little bit. She cracked the smile for the media a little bit, but she.
Ashanti Plummer

Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, she's a softy at heart, but, like, she's real hard.

And she goes, hang up the phone. Or she'll be like, really? Negative attention. That was the biggest one. Negative attention. Is that what she said? Negative or positive attention? I have a lot of negative attention moments with my mother. A lot. Is your.

Hey, guys, welcome back from the break. It is time for the what the fud of the Week. We do what the fud of the week every week, and it is something that happened that made you go, what the fud? So, Ashanti, I feel like you should start us off.
Az Fudd
Oh, yeah, I have a what the fud of the week. So this past week, I don't know if you guys know who Ellie the Elephant is. If you don't, where have you been? Ellie the Elephant is the New York Liberties mascot. And I had the chance to dance with her courtside, so I. That was like my dreams come true. She's such a diva, and I had a great time breaking it down with her at the Liberty game.
Ashanti Plummer
I can't wait to see this video.
Kahmora Arnold
Me neither. I know. That was a great dance off.
Az Fudd
Listen, we was getting after it, okay? It was my time to shine. I finally met Ellie. I had to show her what I had w collab. So what about you guys? What's your what the fud?
Kahmora Arnold
Okay, my what the fud is the Love island reunion. I've been seeing, like, clips and everything from the reunion and everything like that. So it's kind of been, like, crazy, like, going back to the show, listening to the tea. It's quite interesting.
Ashanti Plummer
I thought the reunion was bad.
Kahmora Arnold
That's what made it like. Oh, that was what the fudge was. Yeah.
Ashanti Plummer
Fair.
Kahmora Arnold
It was terrible.
Ashanti Plummer
I don't watch the violin. I don't know.
Kahmora Arnold
Me either.
Az Fudd
I don't either. But my best friends do, and they love it. So the reunion, I heard it was wild.
Ashanti Plummer
My what the fud of the week is. We did a TikTok trend yesterday where you have to pick the person up with one arm. And I didn't realize how, like, I knew KK was strong. I've taken a couple bumps before, and I'm like. But to see her pick people up with one arm, like, that was, uh, oh. That was my what the fud of the week.
Kahmora Arnold
Uh, oh.
Az Fudd
Weight room.
Kahmora Arnold
Okay. I'm not even gonna lie, y'. All. I was surprised I could pick up az.
Ashanti Plummer
She picked me.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, AZ is all muscle. Like, I don't think people understand. So when I was like, well, it was worth the try, and I did it, and I was like, yeah, that's.
Ashanti Plummer
A smooth 170 year old.
Kahmora Arnold
So are you.
Az Fudd
And so are you. Straight muscle.
Kahmora Arnold
I know. That's right.
Ashanti Plummer
See, wait, and then she did the other trend where she picked someone up, like, oh, just squatting down and, like, put them. They, like, you, like, squat down and put your hands out and they, like.
Kahmora Arnold
Sit in your arms and then you have to, like, stand up with them.
Az Fudd
Oh, yeah, I gotta see that and not y' all jinx saying that at the same time.
Ashanti Plummer
But that was because I tried that one as well, and that was even harder. And she did that.
Kahmora Arnold
Yeah, it was hard.
Ashanti Plummer
But I'm going to watch out.
Kahmora Arnold
Okay.
Ashanti Plummer
In the weight room, right?
Az Fudd
Big never been a joke. Big guard, never the little big, you season.

Kahmora Arnold
True.

Ashanti Plummer
I didn't pick these. Okay. Coach Oriyama has a secret burner TikTok the lulu. I agree with that. Okay. Coach. And when we say coach, we mean the big guy. The big man. Yeah. Everyone else is just their name. Coach is coach. Coach 100% has a TikTok giraffe folder with save dances the lulu.

Kahmora Arnold
I do too. I think he's just full of party next door. Really? Yes.
Ashanti Plummer
I like party next door.
Kahmora Arnold
I think she has some party next door. Besides that, I don't know what's on her playlist.
Ashanti Plummer
I wonder if Blanca listens to.
Kahmora Arnold
She showed one of her songs to me. It was like. It was really good, but of course in different language.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay. UConn women's basketball deserves its own reality TV show.
Kahmora Arnold
For true. True.
Ashanti Plummer
That'd be good.
Kahmora Arnold
That'd be A really good show.
Ashanti Plummer
Okay. Could KK could win Dancing with the Stars for true.

Ashanti Plummer
Labubus are the moment.

Delulu. I mean, I don't own a Loboo. Once I get a Labubu, I think I'll understand more. But I don't got a Labubu.
Ashanti Plummer
Paige is a better dancer than KK Delusional.
Kahmora Arnold
Delulu. Delulu. Delulu. Negative attention. Negative attention. Negative attention, mind you. Sorry, boogers. Love you.
