Jose Fudd
I think so. I think so.
Ashanti Plummer
Cause I've definitely seen him. He definitely has a gym out here. Yeah, I remember starting to see him come up like when Melo used to go to his gym. And stuff. And you know, Melo's like my favorite player. So I was definitely.
Jose Fudd
Yeah, I think he used to train in New Jersey at first. I like, I remember briefly chatting about it, but.

But I think he's definitely been in that area for a while.
Ashanti Plummer
Yeah. And then this is your first year. You did it.
Jose Fudd
What, Berkeley camp? Yeah, yeah, no, I went in two years ago. But I was like, you know, I was more, it was more like I didn't know Chris as well. I was always nervous to talk to him because like this dude is NBA trainer. He's worked with all these dudes. Like he's actually very down to earth. Like after like being able to talk to him, he's very down to earth. So it's, you know, I overcame that fear.

We woke up at like 6 in the morning, went over to her apartment and my mom went to go get the pickup truck and I had to carry all her stuff down. All the, carry all her stuff down. Like I don't know. I think I had like an hour and a half time slot. Maybe, maybe an hour. I don't. It was crazy. But we got it loaded up. Something broke, but it's all right.
Ashanti Plummer
Oh my God. Does she know?
Jose Fudd
Yeah, because we got there, I. It was a tv. Oh my goodness. And it was like someone threw a baseball at the middle of it. But it was a lot of stuff. And I drove. It was pretty cool. Okay.

Got boat there, Jet ski, and we just. We just chill there. It's a beaut. It's a. They're on a peninsula, so it's. It's very big and open. You can see everything. But that's usually. That's usually our spot every summer. And then we go to the state fair at the end of the month, but they got banging food.

Episode: Who Broke Azzi’s TV? w/ Jose Fudd
Date: May 22, 2026
Hosts: Ashanti Plummer (guest hosting for Azzi Fudd), Guest: Jose Fudd
Podcast by: iHeartPodcasts & Unanimous Media
In this lively episode of "Fudd Around and Find Out," Ashanti Plummer steps in as guest host while UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd is focused on her team's efforts. Ashanti welcomes Azzi’s younger brother, Jose Fudd, for a candid and hilarious conversation about family, basketball life, summer plans, moving mishaps (including a very broken TV), and the unique bond within the Fudd family. The episode highlights the off-court realities of elite athletes and their siblings, giving listeners a real, behind-the-scenes feel.
Jose: The "freaking Spurs game" (an improbable NBA finish) and a shout-out to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's on-court heroics.
Ashanti: Her Knicks staging a wild 22-point fourth-quarter comeback in OT.
Both share admiration (and jokes) about New York sports fans’ loyalty and delusions.
The episode is fast-paced, light, and authentic, mixing sibling shenanigans with the realities of student-athlete life. Ashanti and Jose keep it conversational and playful, making the listener feel like part of the Fudd family’s inner circle. There’s a blend of basketball seriousness and summer-vacation goofiness that makes the show both insightful and fun.
This episode gives a genuine look into the behind-the-scenes life of a top women’s basketball family—with stories, laughter, and the kind of chaos that makes elite athletes relatable. Azzi may be out this week, but Jose and Ashanti keep the energy sky-high—whether they’re breaking TVs, reminiscing on road trips, or plotting European adventures.
