Fudd Around And Find Out

Azzi and Ashanti are back, and this week they’re joined by UConn’s very own Caroline Ducharme — aka the Silent Assassin. From her quiet freshman year to becoming the mom of the team. Caroline opens up about her journey, her mindset, and how she fought her way back from multiple concussions.

The crew talks growing pains, locker room dynamics, and why this season feels different. Caroline also spills on growing up in New England basketball culture, the chaos of ring design day, and her unexpected theater debut as the rose in Beauty and the Beast.

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?'"

Azzi, Ashanti, and friend of the show, KK Arnold are stepping off the court and onto the runway in this special Fashion Week episode of Fudd Around and Find Out. Between workouts and fittings, the trio break down their best (and worst) outfit moments, swap a few boots and accessories, and recap the chaos of hopping from fashion show to fashion show.

They talk about run-ins with celebs like Kyrie Irving, the pressure of matching press-on nails to every look, and the not-so-glam realities of Fashion Week. And of course, it wouldn’t be FAFO without games: this time it’s Would You Rather: Fashion Week Edition, featuring mini skirts, designer dreams, and the eternal battle of rats vs. roaches.

Azzi and Ashanti are back this week catching up on all the things from campus movie nights to spotting hoops royalty at the Hall of Fame. Then they sit down with tennis legend + ESPN analyst Rennae Stubbs. They get into the hype of the US Open, her best Olympic stories, and what it’s like going from winning titles to calling the action. Rennae drops some Aussie slang, chats about where women’s sports are headed, and joins the crew for a hilarious round of FAFO “Labububu” WNBA edition.

This week, Azzi and Ashanti are joined by UConn’s own KK Arnold. The three kick things off by revisiting how Ashanti and KK first met — mid–dance battle at Paige Bueckers’ draft party.

KK answers fan questions ranging from almost adopting a puppy at Kelsey Plum’s Dawg Camp to the real origins of her signature sayings like “girly pop” and “okay so, boom.” She opens up about learning the hard way what “welcome to college basketball” really means, dishes on family life with the unforgettable Ms. Kim, and even debates whether it’s time to revive her infamous TikTok Lives.

Plus, Azzi brings the listeners inside the locker room for a behind-the-scenes chat on all the things you do and don’t see on social. From signature sayings and team pets to dance battles and live-stream talent shows, no topic is off-limits.

And don’t miss the debut of a brand-new game: “Delulu or For True True,” where nothing is safe — from Coach Geno burner TikTok theories to Dancing With the Stars dreams.

Fresh off her trip from China, Azzi takes you behind the scenes of her adventure overseas. Joined by Azzi’s mom, Katie, they relive their incredible trip to China with Stephen Curry—from first-class flights and private jets to the craziness of Curry Con. Azzi shares how her relationship with Stephen first took shape, what it was like to experience China alongside him, and how it felt working out together, coach international hoopers, and move through waves of fans. Katie jumps in with her take on the nonstop security, the gifts from fans, and some bathroom culture shocks. And, of course... the side quests: discovering mystery snacks from local markets, bubble tea runs, karaoke nights, and even a spontaneous Spades lesson.
