Show Notes
This week, Azzi and Ashanti sit down with Sarah Strong and cover a lot of ground — from growing up in Spain and moving to the U.S. to finding her way to UConn. Sarah talks about what it was like growing up around the game, learning two languages, and how those early years shaped how she sees basketball now. Later, both Azzi and Sarah's mom's jump in for a fun round of trivia that brings out family stories, first memories, and a few surprises. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More from Fudd Around And Find Out
Azzi and Ashanti open with fan reactions to the first round of voice memos, then play a new batch. One fan needs help convincing her parents to take her to a Dallas Wings game, and Azzi's former teammate and friend Kelis Fisher sends a hilarious voice memo of her own.
Azzi is finally home for a few days, and she and Ashanti catch up on a whole lot of travel. First up is Jordan Brand’s Space Jam 30th anniversary event in LA, where Azzi meets Aleali May and Travis Scott, shares a panel with Anthony Anderson, and tells the story of the Space Jam 11s, her first pair of Jordans. She also gives a rehab update after her first week back shooting, surprises Inês Bettencourt at Gonzaga in Spokane, and shares her Huskies of Honor news ahead of UConn’s Nov. 8 game against Iowa. Then it’s Fudd and Games, where they draft Tune Squads to take on the Monstars and Ashanti drafts Azzi whether she likes it or not! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Spooky season is officially here, and Azzi and Ashanti catch up on Halloween costume plans, favorite fall foods, and a homemade pumpkin bread that didn’t last a full day. Then, it's all Fudd and Games. Ashanti announces she is not a riddles girl, then solves the 500-point riddle anyway. There’s also a Paige Bueckers popcorn bucket question and a push to get Sydney Colson on for a crossover episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Azzi catches Ashanti up on New York Fashion Week, where her knee recovery is at, and what it was like getting back to Dallas after time away. Plus, she admits she's sitting on months of unposted TikTok drafts from her old phone. Then it's fan call time: listener questions on encouraging young athletes, navigating your 20s, and healthy eating, before they close out by ranking fan-submitted What The Fudds from S tier to F.

Washington Mystics guard Georgia Amoore pulls up this week, someone Azzi's known since they played against each other at FIBA U17s. Georgia gets into tearing her ACL last year, how much harder the rehab was mentally than she expected, and the pressure she kept putting on herself through it. There's also the Russell Westbrook-designed fit she wore on draft night, and the story behind Azzi wearing her jersey. Then it's DMV trivia, Georgia setting the record straight to Ashanti on her allegiance to Team Australia, and another What the Fudd of the Week to close it out.
