Azzi and Ashanti sit down in Chris Brickley’s gym with the trainer who has worked with Azzi since high school and went from a $300-a-week Knicks intern to Carmelo Anthony’s full-time trainer. Chris explains why he called Azzi the future No. 1 pick a year before the draft, and why he thinks her mom, Katie Fudd, should be a shooting coach in the NBA or WNBA. Azzi also looks back on the workout at his gym before her 17-point third quarter against the Liberty.

Then it’s Fudd and Games with a Report Card graded by Chris, including an F in trash talking, plus a bit about Azzi’s text response time and What the Fudd of the Week.

Then Katie and Tim Fudd return to trade AAU tournament stories, including a knee scooter flip at Boo Williams and a bench chair that collapsed in Tennessee. They also lay out their Thanksgiving plans, including an invite for Ashanti. Fudd and Games brings the new Parent Report Card, where they grade Azzi, a round of What’s Scarier, and What the Fudd of the Week.

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.

There's also the Russell Westbrook-designed fit she wore on draft night, and the story behind Azzi wearing her jersey.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Azzi and Ashanti open up the inbox for a full FAFO AMA, and the questions take them in every direction possible. They talk fashion musts and misses, tall-girl shopping hacks, thrifting wins, and the team fits that should probably never return. The two get into confidence, routines, leadership, and how they reset when basketball feels heavy — along with some very specific food opinions neither of them are willing to back down from.

They also answer who on the team they’d build around, which teammates they’d trust in a crisis, the real story behind CD’s team-building games, and whether aliens have already made contact (and if they’re on the New York subway).

They get into three-on-three life, the pressure of representing Team USA in Paris, playing outdoors in the heat, and the moment she found out she officially made the Olympic roster. Then things take a turn into peak Rhyne energy — including her daily golf habit, her massive Lego collection (with functioning grand piano included), and her artistic side, from spray-painted animal canvases to custom sneakers and half-finished overalls.

The crew also dives into dream teammates, SpongeBob shoe collabs, designing jerseys, and a chaotic round of snack rankings that somehow leads to a full cottage-cheese debate.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They get into UConn memories, toughest matchups, and which teammates are absolutely not allowed to shoot their shot in celebrity DMs. There's even a surprising amount of debate over fandom names (some of which should never see the light of day).

To wrap it up, the crew jumps into Would You Rather and speed-round questions that reveal way too much about their priorities.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Azzi and Ashanti sit down with celebrity stylist Sydnee Paige — the creative mind behind Azzi’s viral SLAM magazine cover — to break down every detail of how the shoot came together.

Sydnee opens up about her journey from college athlete to top stylist, the lessons she learned grinding in New York fashion, and how she brings authenticity to styling athletes like Skylar Diggins, J.Lo, and Cardi B. Then things take a turn in FAFO fashion with a rapid-fire game of “Fudd or Dud”, where the crew rates everything from red cartoon boots to cargo skirts, ballet flats, and socks-with-heels energy.

This week, Azzi and Ashanti are joined by basketball icon Sue Bird, and it’s giving legend energy from the jump. They swap UConn stories — yes, the CD games, the pantyhose era, all of it — and talk about how much the game (and the world) has changed since Sue’s college days.

Sue opens up about leadership, what confidence really looks like, and how to handle the pressure that comes with being that girl on and off the court. Azzi and Ashanti even force Sue to rate some of her classic fits throughout the years.

Azzi and Ashanti catch up with WNBA rookie Kaitlyn Chen, who joins the pod all the way from Prague. The three get into everything from Kaitlyn’s love for sourdough to life overseas, culture shocks, and her chaotic 72-hour move to Europe.

Kaitlyn reflects on her whirlwind year — winning a national championship at UConn, getting drafted into the W, and becoming the first Taiwanese player in league history. She opens up about adjusting to pro ball, building chemistry with the Golden State Valkyries, and what it’s like playing in front of 18,000 fans in Ballhalla.

This week, Azzi brings her UConn teammate Serah Williams into the FAFO universe — and it doesn’t take long for her to feel right at home. Alongside Ashanti, the trio get into everything from Serah’s move from Wisconsin to Storrs, to her viral LSU visit, and how she ended up with the nickname “Big Canada” (which, apparently, is still up for debate).

Serah talks about growing up in church, leaning on her faith, and adjusting to UConn’s intense basketball culture. She opens up about her Nigerian roots, her love of sneakers and Lululemon fits, and why she refuses to eat fruit that isn’t consistently sweet. Things take a turn when the group tackles a Midwest vs. East Coast showdown, reacts to fan questions, and hits their “What the FUDD” of the week — including Azzi’s confusion over “snotty” being a compliment.

Azzi and Ashanti are back with a full debrief of life on and off the court. Ashanti kicks things off with the story of meeting Stephen Curry at a Unanimous Media celebration, while Azzi admits to dusting off her skates for the first time since middle school (and surviving without a fall). From there, the two break down team shenanigans — including a viral themed dress-up night, Twitch streams, and UConn football games. With Media Day officially in the books, Azzi shares what the marathon photo-and-video gauntlet looks like behind the scenes, why this year’s hit different, and how she did her own makeup for the first time. The conversation also touches on Coach Geno’s appearance on the pod, recruiting stories (including a legendary CD games mishap), and their reactions to all the women's basketball drama — from JuJu shutting it down for the year to the Liberty’s surprise coaching shakeup. Finally, Azzi gets put to the test in Who the Fudd?!* — a chaotic guessing game that proves she might not know her Derek Jeter’s from her Halle Berry’s.

Azzi and Ashanti bring Coach Geno Auriemma into the FAFO studio, and he shows a side fans usually don't get to see. Geno opens up about what Azzi is really like in practice, why he rarely has to yell at her, and what he hopes to see from her in her last season.

The crew mix laughs with real talk — diving into NIL, the transfer portal, and how the game is shifting — before putting Geno through a no-escape lightning round. Expect shimmy debates, his thoughts on his TikTok edits and Azzi's on court moment that made him say 'What The Fudd?'"
