Fudd Around And Find Out

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.

Azzi and Ashanti kick off the new year with a solo check-in, talking about how they spent the holidays and what it looks like to reset even when the season keeps moving. They get into New Year’s superstitions, goals they’re setting for themselves, and what they want to carry into the rest of the year.
They also talk about where the team is right now, and what Azzi is working on both on and off the court. This week also includes the show's first ever fan submitted "What the Fudd of the Week" segment which covers some questionable church attire. Be sure to wear your Sunday best!

WNBA superstar and Unrivaled co-founder Breanna Stewart joins Sarah to discuss what she learned from Unrivaled’s inaugural season, her goals for season two, how the 3-on-3 league has played a role in setting a new standard for player experience and pay, and her best prediction for when the WNBA CBA negotiations will finally get done. Plus, a trip to the world’s most famous arena, a roster drop of the young and unattached, and a new segment in the lead-up to the Milan-Cortina Games: the Friday Fatto Figo!
