Mock Drafts & Social Media

• Azzi isn’t paying attention to rankings or mock drafts, staying off social media to focus on the present.

[Az Fudd]

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of FUD around and find out. I'm here with my girl Ashanti. Hey, Ashanti.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Hi. How you doing, girl?

[Az Fudd]

I'm great.

[Ashanti Plummer]

How are you? I'm good. I'm really excited to do this episode. It almost feels like I haven't seen you in forever, even though I just saw you.

[Pluvicto Advertisement Voice]

But.

[Ashanti Plummer]

But I'm really glad to get into it. We love a good solo epi, so I'm ready.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, me too. We've got lots to catch up on for sure.

[Ashanti Plummer]

One, how was your Thanksgiving? How was your holidays?

[Az Fudd]

My Thanksgiving was actually pretty good. It was chill. I haven't had a thing like a real Thanksgiving home cooked meal since my freshman year. I went to Caroline's and so this year I went to Sarah Strong's mom's place in Boston. So that was fun. It was me, kk, Sarah, Ice. It was chill. We got there probably eight within an hour. I think we were there for maybe two hours. We got there, her mom was finishing warming things up, like putting everything out. We ate, packed to go boxes and Sarah was like, all right, see ya. And we left.

[Ashanti Plummer]

First of all, the fact that Thanksgiving started and you got to eat within an hour, Be there an hour. Like, shout out to Sarah Strong's mom. Cause let me tell you something, my family, you will starve the whole day. The whole day. And then when the sun sets, that's when we get to eat.

[Az Fudd]

So.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Must be nice.

[Az Fudd]

No? Her mom and her grandma went to work. I'm not eating sugar. And they made homemade pies. And I was like, I have to break it for this. They made pecan pie, sweet potato pie, and apple pie. And it was my first time having sweet potato pie, so. Good. First time. Yeah. Listen, I'm working on my black side, okay? It took me 23 years to hear it.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Nah, nah, nah. Sometimes. Listen, some black people don't like sweet potato pie, but it was the fact time it was the first time you tried it. That's why I'm shook. Like, it's definitely one of my favorites. And I'm pretty sure, like a famous singer came out with some sweet potato pie. I can't remember her name at this moment, we're going to pop a picture up or something. But. And that was good, too. And my mom and my grandma, they also go to work. But this Thanksgiving, I didn't even go hang out at their house for long. I went to see my other family. I went down to Memphis.

[Az Fudd]

Okay, okay.

[Ashanti Plummer]

It's like a Thanksgiving tour. I stopped in, got me a little plate, and then the next day flew out to Memphis. But, yeah, Thanksgiving was good travels. The airport actually wasn't as crazy, thank goodness. But it was good to see family and to eat good. I'm still shook on. This is your first time trying it. I low key. I'm like, when you're done with the season of not eating sugar, we gotta go on a sweet treat tour.

[Az Fudd]

But it's like I don't really crave it anymore. Like, there's so many cleaner substitutes that I can eat without feeling bad afterwards.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, okay. How about a healthy sweet treat tour?

[Az Fudd]

Yeah.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, good. That's gonna be new for me too, because I'm still stuck on your cottage cheese cookies, girl. Okay.

[Az Fudd]

Those weren't the best, but I've made some things. I've made some things since that are pretty good.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, my goodness.

[Az Fudd]

Wait, so what's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Ooh, Baked macaroni and cheese. Hands down. Baked macaroni and cheese. The recipe's been passed down in my family. I still haven't been blessed with the golden gloves to make it for the family yet.

[Az Fudd]

I was gonna ask if you can make me some, but nevermind.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Wait, wait. I can do it with assistance. I'll FaceTime. Mommy and I will figure out, but absolutely, it's not exactly, like, the healthiest. So I'll probably hook you up with that after the season or something. Okay, for sure. What about you? What's your favorite?

[Az Fudd]

Usually my mom's sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole. But this year I was really just looking forward to having some greens. I haven't had greens in so long.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, Sarah's grandma made greens.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah. Delicious.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Sarah Strong household. We accept food deliveries.

[Az Fudd]

Do you hear?

[Ashanti Plummer]

We accept food deliveries at this house.

[Az Fudd]

Okay.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay. So you got to go with Sarah Strong and her family. Does the team do anything specific to celebrate the holidays together this year?

[Az Fudd]

We didn't usually we're like, the last couple years, we've been on a trip and playing games on Thanksgiving. So we eat hotel food. Sometimes we'll go to a restaurant and eat restaurant Thanksgiving food, which is just never the same. But this year, everyone Had a place to go, either went to Sarah's or to Caroline's, which was really nice that everyone got some home cooked food and got to be with people they love. Aw.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I love that. That's good. You don't get a lot of time to spend with your family on holidays, especially your team, the way you guys been traveling and playing back to back to back. So that's really nice that you guys got to do this and you got to do this especially in your last year. So, Ms. Ma', am, you are juggling finals with playing at a very high level. What's that been like?

[Az Fudd]

It's hiring and it really hasn't been that bad. So I'm in grad school, and so it's a lot. It's more so projects and papers, and a lot of it is group work. And so right now, let's see, this is finals week for everyone else. Right now I have one final, and it's. My classes are online, so it's a open note final, but it's 19 pages of questions with, like, case studies and, like, different websites and articles to read. And I'm like, 19. We just had a whole semester. Like, what? The professor's going through the instructions and questions for the exam, making sure we got everything under we understand everything. And one of the guys in my class is like, professor, this reminds me of the exam I had to take when I was working to get my PhD. I'm like, that's a sign that this is not okay. Yeah, help not. Oh, yeah. So I have that and then a group paper, and then I'm done.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, nice. Almost there. So do the coaches. Are the coaches, like, involved? Or do you guys have, like, advisors who make sure you guys stay on track? Because I can't. I mean, I remember juggling both back in the day. And we had advisors who were on our boat. Like, on our butts. I was gonna say something completely different, but on our behinds, making sure things get done. Do they give you, like, a little bit of autonomy? Like, you're an adult now. Get it done. Or are they checking in?

[Az Fudd]

So we have an academic advisor. Her name is Ellen. She is the best. She, like, she oversees a lot of stuff, but she works with our team specifically. And so she's the one that makes sure, like freshmen, you have mandatory study hall, like, I think five or six times a week.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Don't miss that.

[Az Fudd]

She comes with us on trips. You've got study hall on the way, trips in the hotel. But then as you're older, as you Prove that you're responsible, mature, can get good grades on your own. Then you don't always have to go on those away trip study hall sessions. And she, you definitely, if I have any tips, make sure you're on your academic advisor's good side, because you have just during the season, there's so much going on with traveling, missing classes, having to change. Like, are there missing assignments or missing, like, exams that you have to make up. Making sure that your, your academic advisor likes you is key because you're the ones that are communicating. Helping you communicate with your professors and making sure you've got everything under control. So Ellen has helped me a ton these last four years.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, shout out to Ellen, because if you don't get good grades, you can't play.

[Az Fudd]

Yes. But she. If you need that kick in your behind, she will give it to you. Okay.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Come on, Ellen. All right, so let's talk more about holiday plans. I know we talked a little bit, like, usually the team gets together, but does the team have any, like, holiday specific traditions?

[Az Fudd]

No. I'm gonna try to play Secret Santa with the team this year. I'm gonna bring it up. Actually, I'm not sure if I'm even gonna, like, bring it up as, like, an option. I think I might just send it in the group chat and be like, hey, we're doing this. I'm sending out, like, we're putting everyone's name in, like, a random name generator. And we're playing Secret Santa. Yes. Cause I really want to. I really, really want to. It's my last time to do it, and why not?

[Ashanti Plummer]

And it's cute and it's fun. It's gonna be hilarious. Actually, you should really record the gifts that everyone gets, because I know that's gonna be comedy. All right, what's your favorite Christmas movie?

[Az Fudd]

My top two are Elf and the Grinch.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, I have an elf.

[Az Fudd]

I mean, a Grinch sweater thing on.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Look at you representing Yo. Wait, look at my outfit. I'm in Christmas. Come on, let me see.

[Az Fudd]

Yes.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Pajamas. Are you gonna do matching pajamas with the team? That'd be cute.

[Az Fudd]

That would be cute.

[Ashanti Plummer]

And you can give your gifts.

[Az Fudd]

I'm gonna do that with my roommates. But maybe, well, maybe I'll let the.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Whole team in on it, offer it, and then definitely do it with the roommates. And if the rest of the team wants to join, that's a plus. That's so cute. Do, like, a little holiday card. I'm pretty sure your. Your families would appreciate that.

[Az Fudd]

They definitely would. Did you have any traditions with your team?

[Ashanti Plummer]

We just made sure that if we weren't home, like if we weren't home with our families, that we did one big meal together. And I love that that was for any holiday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, even New Year's, we would spend together. So our tradition was to make sure we had a team meal. And usually the seniors or the best cook would chef it up and we would squeeze all into our tiny little apartment and just have a good time. That was the best tradition.

[Az Fudd]

That's sweet.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That was a good time. And matching pajamas.

[Az Fudd]

Woo.

[Ashanti Plummer]

So cute. Love it.

[Az Fudd]

I love it. That's a family tradition we do is not always matching, but we always do Christmas. Usually matching Christmas pajamas. Cute.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'mma be waiting on that picture. Tell Katie, what's your favorite Christmas song?

[Az Fudd]

Ooh, what's it called?

[Ashanti Plummer]

[Ashanti Plummer]

All I want for Christmas is you. Y' all better play music over that.

[Az Fudd]

[Ashanti Plummer]

[Az Fudd]

What Christmas means to me. That's what it is.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, how'd I go?

[Az Fudd]

No, not with my voice.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm just. I'm sure I don't know the melody of that one.

[Az Fudd]

You know that song?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Me, me, me, me, me. Let me hear a little 1, 2, 1, 2. Wow. You're not gonna sing? It's okay. I'll find it. I'll look it up.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, I'm embarrassed. I'm not a good singer. And then my voice sounds even worse.

[Ashanti Plummer]

We'll put auto tune on it. It's okay. You don't have to.

[Az Fudd]

I thought about it, but I'm not going to. I was like, yelling it in the shower the other day, so whoever was showering at the same time as me definitely heard it when we were in the gym. That wasn't with anyone.

[Pluvicto Advertisement Voice]

No, no, no.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I didn't even think that I was thinking about the person who was here. I'm crying.

[Az Fudd]

I think it was Kelis in there with me. I'm.

[Ashanti Plummer]

She ain't got no room to talk because I know her. She definitely gives singing in the shower energy.

[Az Fudd]

She gives singing, yelling 247 energy. So.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, my gosh. She gonna say we sending shots to her once again and are. Oh, not and is. All right, let's pivot. So, Az, your Madison Reed internship is coming up.

[Az Fudd]

I'm excited. Well, first I'm excited to not have school for like a month, and then I'm excited for this internship with Madison Reed. I mean, we've talked a Little bit about what it entails, but it's like, I've never done this before. They've never done this before. So I'm excited to see what. What's really gonna happen with this internship. Like, what I. What I get to do, what I get to learn, what I get to be a part of. So I think it's gonna be super cool.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah. I mean, I really wonder what that looks like. You know what I mean? Is there anything specific that you're looking forward to learning? I know you want to be in, like, close proximity because you respect her as a businesswoman, but is there anything in particular you really want to learn?

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, no, I think Amy's incredible, but I don't really know. I think I'm just excited to see, like, to be on some calls, to be. Just to hear some people, just to see. I don't know. I feel like taking classes. Like, I went from my undergrad. I did communications, and then with, like, no, I took one, like, finance ish class, and I was like, oh, I'm gonna get my master's in business. Not knowing anything about business, where everyone around me is. Has been working for, like, three to 20 years already, so they can, like, apply what we're learning to real world, to their job, to work where I'm learning this stuff, and I'm like, I don't even. I can't imagine what setting I'd be using this in. Like, I. I understand. Like, this is great stuff to know, but I don't know what industry I want to work in, what I want to do. So to be able to actually, like, kind of carry over some of my. My knowledge from school to a real, Real world job. So, yeah, I'm excited just to learn to be a sponge and see. See what happens. Yeah.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Is this going to be in person or remote? Meaning, like, in office or.

[Az Fudd]

Yes. I am doing a remote corporate internship with Madison Reed next semester, and I am so excited. Their closest hair color bar is in Westport, so it's a decent drive, but I'm hoping that I might also get the chance to color someone's hair as a little fun side activity.

So let me get this straight. Your company has data here, there and everywhere. But your AI can't use the data because it's here, there and everywhere? Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data. IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives. To change how you do business, let's create Smile to Business IBM.

You know what separates the pros from the rest? It's not just talent. It's how you respond when the game gets tough. Do you dig in? You fight back. And when it comes to your your health, that same mindset matters. Yeah, especially if you or someone you care about is facing metastatic prostate cancer. There's a treatment called pluvicto, lutetium LU177 vapivotide tetraxitan. And it's changing the game. Plovicto isn't chemo. It's a different kind of treatment that targets PSMA positive cells, including prostate cancer cells. Plavicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people. Here's the official word. Pluvicto is A prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Now let's talk safety. Pluvicto involves contact with radioactivity, which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception, and talk to your doctor about how to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation during and after treatment. It can also cause low blood cell counts, kidney problems and infertility. Tell your doctor if you notice weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising, more easily an infection or changes in urination. Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain, and constipation. Look, every day matters. And if you're in the fight or know someone who is, this is a conversation worth having. Ask your doctor about Plavicto because just like in football, every play, every decision, every second counts. Visit pluvicto.com to learn more. That's P L U V I c t o.com.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Let'S talk about how you're undefeated. Undefeated. Listen, I know you don't care about these things. Let me care. Let me care. Okay? I'm so excited. I've had the chance to. I mean, if I haven't been in person, I've been watching Keeping up with the Team, and you guys are so fun to watch. Like, I am excited to be rooting for y'.

[Pluvicto Alternate Advertisement Voice]

All.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm excited to watch y' all play. When some of the games are close, I'm like, oh, my goodness. And then even when you guys are knocking teams out by 30 plus, I'm just. I'm really amazed, honestly. And I've been enjoying every second. I'm like, on my women's college basketball tour right now.

[Az Fudd]

It is so much fun to have basketball back on, to have things to watch, good games to watch. That has been. Missed it.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, girl. And this. This is it. So does pressure or momentum build more when a team starts? Like when your team has started undefeated?

[Az Fudd]

No.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Meaning, like, do you feel pressure to keep this streak up or do you feel like because you guys are in this. I know winning is like a culture, right? Something you guys have cultivated. So is there a pressure that you feel to keep winning or is kind of like one game at a time?

[Az Fudd]

It's definitely one game at a time. And I don't think we feel much pressure to, like, keep winning. I think just like the standard and the expectations that we have just within our own building and our own team and with the coaching staff, I don't know, it just keeps us focused on what we need to do to just keep getting better. Like, we are humbled every day in practice. So never do we feel like, oh, we're so good. Like, no, we're humbled every, every time, every time something goes right, it's like, oh, actually that wasn't like you, you thought you did a good job. No, you also messed up here. So we know there's always things we, we can get better on that we need to get better on. So I feel like our focus is really just on getting better and not like, oh my gosh, we're undefeated. Like, that's not, that's not worried about.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Let, let the fans be excited and worried about that. So in those games when your team is like up quite a few and then you're coming out, like, how does it feel coming out of those games early? Think of it as like, I was gonna say think of it as like, you know, your opportunity to like watch. Cause usually you're in the game playing the whole time.

[Az Fudd]

I mean, I think the games that were up, it's fun because you get the chance to play with different lineups and then when you get subbed out, you then get the chance to watch the rest of your team play and get to enjoy and cheer them on and celebrate. So that, that is definitely my highlight is getting to cheer them on and you know, celebrate them and support them. But yeah, I guess, yeah.

[Ashanti Plummer]

So what do you guys do when you guys have a bigger game coming up to like prepare for that?

[Az Fudd]

Honestly, I'd say our preparation from game to game isn't that different. Like no matter if we play a top ranked opponent or an unranked opponent, our preparation is generally the same. Like maybe in your individual or position pre practice, post practice workouts, you'll do some specific stuff coming for the game coming up. Like whether it's like, oh, like you've got the best, you gotta guard the best player, you gotta work on your defense or super physical, you gotta work on this or they like to run this play. Like we're gonna work on this action or like if they're trapping, we're gonna work on breaking a trap, whatever. Like you do that more so in your like individual stuff. And then in practice we'll do like a general, like I said, if they like to press, we'll work on press break that week. But it's not really, until two days before that. We even really, like, bring. Mention that team, bring that team up, which I kind of like that. No matter what, the focus is really on us making sure that we're prepared, we're doing what we need to, and then it's okay. Now we'll go over some scout stuff for the other team, but as long as we're taking care of ourselves, like, we know we're in good shape. All right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Not you giving out the formula for success. That's awesome. Do you feel like, you know, you mentioned before you want to be more of a vocal leader? Do you feel like that's been easier now as the season's been progressing well?

[Az Fudd]

Has its moments still have a lot of area of growth or a lot of growth in that area? I would say it's gotten better.

[Ashanti Plummer]

But, yes, I feel like I have noticed you'd be. I feel like I've noticed you'd be a lot more confident in general. Even, like, when you do media and stuff like that, and you're talking and I know we're talking about, like, leading your team vocally, like on court, off court stuff, but just I know that you wanted to work on these things, and I'm, like, seeing it in real time. Like, there's, you know, Coach Gino, he was just like, well, what I'm az. Answering the question. And I'm like, hold on, my girl. Don't even do that no more. She don't even do that no more. She might take a beat. She might take a beat, but she didn't even do that no more. But I hope nobody watches those post.

[Az Fudd]

Game press conference things so bad.

[Ashanti Plummer]

We do, but they're interesting. They're interesting. But, yeah, I've seen it feels like. Or what I've watched is you be a lot more confident when you're answering questions and when you're showing up.

[Az Fudd]

Well, thank you.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I do.

[Az Fudd]

I do feel more comfortable. Like I said, I could. I could be better.

[Ashanti Plummer]

All right, girlie. I know you are really locked in to the season, and that is your number one focus.

[Az Fudd]

Of course.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Rankings come out. Mock draft come out. How does it feel to see your name in those kind of things?

[Az Fudd]

Kind of weird. I've only seen a little bit. I'm not really on. Not really. I'm not on social media. I don't think I've been on Instagram in like, a month.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That makes sense. I've written you on Instagram.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, Yeah, I do. I do want to go on and scroll and just see what's Going on, but it's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Yeah, so I haven't, like, it's. I haven't really seen much of anything, but it is weird to think, like, just because I don't see it doesn't mean I don't know what's happening. Yeah, so it is weird. It is crazy to think that that is not at all what my focus is. Like, that is coming up. So it is just crazy. I don't know. It's weird to think about. It's crazy to think about.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm so excited for you. Like, I just wish all the good and great things.

[Az Fudd]

Thank you.

[Ashanti Plummer]

And I'm gonna be right there, girl. I'm finna give me a camera and be like, you're doing great, sweetie.

[Az Fudd]

I already know, honey.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm ready.

[Az Fudd]

That is. I'm ready.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Absolutely. So I got the chance to come visit you. This past weekend, Sue Bird had her jersey retired. I mean, whoa. Incredible. So exciting. What was that like for you?

[Az Fudd]

It was super cool. I mean, so I was there when Swin Cash had her jersey retired, too, and that was really cool. And so then to be there for another. I mean, this is the third women's jersey that's retired. So I've been there now for two, which is crazy to think that I've been super lucky just to have that opportunity to witness that. But, yeah, Sue's amazing. She's an amazing player, but amazing person and amazing role model for all of us. Still is. So to be able to see that, to witness that, to celebrate her and then to score 100 points.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I was literally gonna say, like, having a ceremony like that.

[Az Fudd]

Come on.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Having a ceremony like that and then playing after, like, what does that do to your team? Like, how does that impact your team going out there?

[Az Fudd]

Well, I mean, first of all, if, you know Subird's in the building, like, you want to play well because Subird's in the building. But then also, like, honoring her. You're like, okay, now we gotta play well. Like, let's go. But, yeah, no, I thought we did have a good game, so it was nice to celebrate her, see her jersey be unveiled. Is that the right word?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Unveiled?

[Az Fudd]

Unveiled, Whatever. See her jersey up in the rafters, her jersey banner, whatever it's called. And then perform the way that we did. I thought we had a pretty good. Pretty good team game that day, so it was great. Yes.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Great way to honor her. Did sue get a chance to address the team at all before the game?

[Az Fudd]

Uh, no.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, okay.

[Az Fudd]

How about after, uh, she's in the locker room after. She didn't address the team, but, like, as we came in, she said hi to all of us. We got to say hi to her, Megan, and her nieces, which was nice.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I know. When she got. I don't know if you caught this, but when she basically asked her niece, like, are you here enjoying this for me? Are you more excited to watch Az play? I cried.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah. I was like, no way. But her niece was so sweet. So I got to send jersey for her after, and I told her she's got to come back to more games. They live in Connecticut. I was like, I better see you here, and when you come, you better say hi. Now that we're friends. Ooh, I know. That's funny. If she hears this.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Come on, Niecy Poo. I didn't forget. Pull up, pull up. Oh, man. Okay, so we're gonna pivot a little bit. Talking about training. Where is your focus now that you are? What part of the season would you call this? Still, like, the beginning, you know, before conference, but not like the beginning beginning. So where's your focus with training right now?

[Az Fudd]

I don't know. I'm currently in a layup slump, so this week I'll be working on my finishing package. You got any tips for me?

[Ashanti Plummer]

You know what I tell people? When I saw you missed that layup girl, I was like, it's too close. It's too close. My sis need more space between her and the basket. That's why. That's why my tips are. Don't overthink it. You can make a layup, like, period. Don't overthink it. Go up regular. Your body knows the motion. That's my tip, girl. You can make a layup. Thank you. That's it.

[Az Fudd]

So, yeah, that's my current focus in training finish package.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm crying.

[Az Fudd]

My two footers.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Anything from two feet. When you miss layups, I'm like, it was a pass. Where's the.

[Az Fudd]

I was really going for, like, the alley. Just no one was there.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That's what it gave. That's what it gave.

[Az Fudd]

I needed Yana in the game to dunk it for me.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, my goodness. It's okay, girl. You. You won't get it back. So social media, I know you're not on it, but a lot of fans have been going super crazy. You've had a couple viral moments. Oh, no, no, no, no. You good, you good. We're gonna. We're gonna talk through it. So this person's name is Kiko. Kiko. Someone on Twitter was. They said, oh, to be ran over by AZ Fudd. Me personally, I'd be honored. And I'm pretty sure it was the USF game where there's a video of you basically like boom, running through a girl. Do you remember that moment? Listen, she been eating her oats, ladies.

[Az Fudd]

And gentlemen.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Literally right now and in life.

[Az Fudd]

Yes, yes, I remember that. Like, okay, yeah, I was running. So yes, like I ran into her. I'd put my hands there to like slow down. I wasn't just going to like face and chest first, like run into her. I didn't shove her though. Like my hands were there but I wasn't like a two hand push. She just sold it really well. They're just really good floppers, right?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Anyways, someone else was like fud around and find out. What I thought they were trying to say is like they fudded around. Like old girl fudded around and found out real quick. Another tweet. Yes, girl, I'm gonna read them off. There's like two more. Physicality wise, Az Fudd is going to be able to hold her own in a dub. I can see it now. That's a compliment.

[Az Fudd]

We love it. That's a compliment. They are very strong.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Cause yeah, every time I hear about a welcome to the dub moment, it's about either getting their nose busted or getting hit in the gut or some kind of hello, it's me moment. That's true. Another tweet. A sound mind, said Az, continuing to make it seem like none of these other schools have weight rooms on their campuses.

[Az Fudd]

Oh my gosh. I just, I don't. Yeah, I have no comment. I have no comment.

[Ashanti Plummer]

No comment is okay. No comment is okay. She pleads the fifth, ladies and gentlemen.

[Az Fudd]

I do.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Last one. If Az. If Az apologizes, I'll push her myself because they know you're a sweet princess. So no saying sorry on the court.

[Az Fudd]

I didn't mean to like push her. She's just in my way.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm crying.

[Az Fudd]

Huh, I forgot about that.

[Ashanti Plummer]

All right, what's next?

[Az Fudd]

All right, I'm feeling good about this one. Let's do the UConn Cinematic Universe for 200.

[Ashanti Plummer]

This former Husky is the only WNBA player to win championships in three different decades. I'm not helping.

[Az Fudd]

Is it Super Diana Taurasi?

[Ashanti Plummer]

No, no.

[Az Fudd]

Good thing it didn't say my layup percentage.

[Ashanti Plummer]

[Az Fudd]

I don't know. Is that your final answer?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yes, that's my final answer. Yes.

[Az Fudd]

Grace, if layup percentage is on here, we're gonna have beef.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, girl, that's different. But I mean, year three is in the 50s. It's like 54. I'm like, come on. All right.

[Az Fudd]

Yukon. Undefeated 400.

[Ashanti Plummer]

The Huskies have had this many undefeated seasons to date. That's tough.

[Az Fudd]

Um, five.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm gonna take a guess and say. You saying five or six? I'm saying three.

[Az Fudd]

Three. I'm gonna say five. Six. Ugh. Ooh.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Not both. Wrong. No, no. She don't get half. She gets zero. Final answer was five. I'm gonna do the UConn Cinematic Universe for 400. This former Husky was the first female basketball player assigned to Jordan Brand in 2011. Maya Moore. Yes.

[Az Fudd]

That was an easy one. Woo.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I didn't know what year.

[Az Fudd]

Oh shook UConn Cinematic Universe for a thousand.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, big money. This former Husky has a longer wingspan than LeBron. That's easy. And if you get a guess, then I'm guessing.

[Az Fudd]

Brianna Stewart.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yes. Yes.

[Az Fudd]

Phew. I'm winning now.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Hmm. Okay, winner. All right, Put around and find out. A thousand. Az, is this percent away from having a 50, 50, 100 split on three point field goals and free throws? Ooh. What percent away? It's the field goals that I don't know. Layups. There's a field go. This is updated. I need to make sure the facts are being checked. Az, is this percent away? Like 4%? Is it worse than that? Girl? What is it given like 10%?

[Az Fudd]

I have no idea.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, 10%.

[Az Fudd]

I don't know. Whatever it is.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, I should have. Wait, time out. This is crazy. It says 0.4%. Oh, wow. Girl, you talking about this. Hold on. Timeout. Did y' all cat count the last game?

[Az Fudd]

Wait, so what is below my normal field goal percentage? Right.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Right. Let's look this up and see. Oh my gosh. That's amazing.

[Capital One Announcer]

How's that?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Embarrassing.

[Az Fudd]

That's so good.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Me. AC's field goal percentage. Okay, what's next?

[Az Fudd]

The UConn Cinematic Universe for 800, please.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You cheating? Oh, my goodness. All right. Nafeesa Collier. That is correct. Okay. UConn undefeated 600. As the winningest college basketball coach. Gino is currently sitting at this many wins.

I know, but I forget. How many. Like, how many games have we played since we celebrated that last year? It's like, around. I would say about plus 30. Okay. Okay. What's your guess?

[Ashanti Plummer]

I have no clue. I don't know. That's my final answer.

[Az Fudd]

That's a number.

[Ashanti Plummer]

How many wins he had? Thousand and thirty.

[Az Fudd]

Isn't it in the 1100s?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Is it?

[Az Fudd]

I thought.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I don't know. I have no clue. My final answer is how many games has. Gina, can I phone a friend? 1.

[Az Fudd]

1000. What do I call a forma?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, so I feel like I should get partial since it's not accurate. He's won over 1200 games. That's what I'm going with.

[Az Fudd]

I'm gonna say 1162.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm going with 1230.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, oh, wait, what did. How many did he. Wait, what?

[Ashanti Plummer]

How many did he. The answer is 1259.

[Az Fudd]

Was it 12?

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, that was the number. I thought it was a thousand. I said over 1200, so.

[Az Fudd]

Did we already do the UConn Cinematic Universe for 600? Can I do that one, please?

[Ashanti Plummer]

This former Husky holds the record for the most basketball gold medals in Olympic history, winning six consecutive gold medals.

Did we do futaround and find out? 800. All right, let's see what we got. I'm getting smoked, so I need this.

[Az Fudd]

Good luck.

[Ashanti Plummer]

This is crazy. In 2019, Arizona hit this many threes in 18 minutes.

[Az Fudd]

It was a lot.

[Ashanti Plummer]

It was a lot.

[Az Fudd]

It was a high number.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, and this is in a game?

[Az Fudd]

No, no, this is a workout.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, see, you gotta be more specific. Okay, this many threes and 18. That's a long time. 18 minutes, just shooting threes. Oh, my goodness. Um, what is it?

[Az Fudd]

Over 100, maybe.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Oh, come on. Yes. Okay.

[Az Fudd]

Three. I don't remember the number.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Okay, so I'm gonna go 219.

[Az Fudd]

Woo.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Wow, wow, wow. I didn't have face. I just said 250. The answer is 268.

[Az Fudd]

Geez, girl, almost had 269.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Dang. I gotta get on my AZ trivia. The fans gonna start talking about me. I'm not a true fan.

[Az Fudd]

I don't know anything from either of these categories.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That's why you've been staying on that side, huh?

[Az Fudd]

Yeah.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Come on to the dark side.

[Az Fudd]

Can I do? UConn undefeated for a thousand.

[Ashanti Plummer]

The Huskies also own the longest winning streak in regular season games in college history. With this many consecutive regular season wins.

[Az Fudd]

Hold on, hold on.

Please.

[Az Fudd]

Please hold.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Somebody play the Jeopardy music.

[Az Fudd]

Six, seven.

[Ashanti Plummer]

That's what you're going with? No, I'm gonna go with no.

[Az Fudd]

I can't tell if it's gonna be more or less.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You pick a number so I can finally get some points.

[Az Fudd]

Okay, I'm gonna go with 72.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm going with a hundred.

[Az Fudd]

120. Whoa.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I feel like I should because I'm closer. It's 126.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, no.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I mean, I don't know.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You don't seem. You don't seem confident that it's 20. She put a question mark. Okay. 15, 12, 17. 17.

[Az Fudd]

I was close.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Like high key. I'm. I just feel like I got 300 points just now. Let's just go ahead. Add that grace. What's the last one?

[Az Fudd]

UConn undefeated. How many more? 800, please.

[Capital One Announcer]

Woo.

[Ashanti Plummer]

UConn's longest undefeated streak ended with a buzzer beater at the end of overtime.

[Az Fudd]

Against this team, Notre Dame.

[Ashanti Plummer]

I'm going to say Louisville. Wait, that was Miss Mississippi State in 2017.

[Az Fudd]

Wait, who did Enrique hit that buzzer beater on? You know what I'm talking about.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Like, like what player or.

[Az Fudd]

No, like what team was that?

[Ashanti Plummer]

I was gonna say, didn't she hit 2 like back to back? Or is that another player from Notre Dame?

[Az Fudd]

No, that was her Mississippi State. And I think you.

[Ashanti Plummer]

No, yeah, it was UConn for sure. Yeah, I knew. I knew it was UConn. I thought you were asking.

[Az Fudd]

Wait, so when did. Was this a different year? They lost by two buzzer beaters. That sucks.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Yeah, Stush. I think it was like the short point guard or something. Hit the buzz beater on Yukon. Well, is that all of our.

[Az Fudd]

I lost this game. I was pretty bad at this.

[Ashanti Plummer]

You didn't. Girl, you smoked me. You smoked me. AC has 2,600 points. We don't have to worry about that 1400 Ashanti. 1400 points for me. That's what the producer said. 8001400 points for me is what I heard.

[Az Fudd]

You're going home a big loser today.

[Ashanti Plummer]

Not really because every day I'm alive. Gotta change the win.

[Az Fudd]

Oh man, that was fun. I like that.

What do you do when things get tough? You don't give up. You stand your ground. If you've been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and have tried hormone therapy, ask your doctor about Lutetium leu177 bipatide tetrexitan. Pluvicto is not chemotherapy. It's a different treatment that targets PSMA positive cells. Pluvicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people. Pluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Bluvicto involves contact with radioactivity which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception and talk to your doctor about ways to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation. During and after treatment, Pluvicto can cause low levels of blood cell counts kidney problems and infertility. Tell your doctor if you have weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection or changes in urination. Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain and constipation. Ask your doctor about Pluvicto, because every day without cancer progression is a victory. Visit vuvicto.com to learn more.
