Fudd Around and Takeover March

About this episode

Azzi and Ashanti break down Azzi’s March takeover — from major brand deals and national campaigns to her jaw-dropping SELF magazine cover drop — and what it’s been like balancing everything off the court while staying locked in on the season. They react to her latest covers, talk through how she chooses partnerships, and share why showing different sides of her identity matters. The conversation also touches on the upcoming Imperfectly Perfect docuseries, what it meant to spotlight her family, and why that story feels so personal to her.

2:05When I competed in track and field at the collegiate level, there were times I second-guessed myself. That's why it's important for female athletes to have a space to build confidence and self-esteem. Colgate supports female athletes of all levels through the Colgate Women's Games, the nation's longest-running indoor track and field series for girls and women. By supporting female athletes, Colgate hopes to put more smiles out into the world. Colgate, your smile is your strength. Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Flat Around and Find Out. I'm here with my girl Ashanti. Hey girl. Hey girl. Miss girl, you have been very busy. I am going to take the time now, bear with me, to list off all your activations during March. Me, me, me, me, let me prepare. Multi-year deal with Jordan Brand, Geico and National TV Commercial, a billboard docu-series,

3:06Marriott, not Marriott, National TV Commercial, Cash Hat, Celsius, another slam cover, polished choice, love them down, cover girl, Madison Reed, planet fitness, Kava, and with Kava, you're dropping your own bowl. Girl, when do you rest? Well, when you list it out like that, it sounds crazy. Insane, nuts, and amazing. It is really cool. Sometimes I can't believe this is my life. That reminds me of the meme of Le Prawn. He has his head's back hands on his head like, I can't believe it. That's something to me. Especially with the sun out now, I'm like, how do you pick your partners? Like when you decide you want to work with a brand, how do you decide? Yeah, well, I'm fortunate enough to get to have that decision and get to decide who I want to work with,

4:08which is also crazy. It's another, this is my life moment. But I look for one, brands that I genuinely like, products that I use, and it has to be a brand that I feel comfortable putting my name next to. So I want their values to align with mine. I want the people that work for them with them to be good people, I'm all about relationships. So I think that's the biggest thing for me is working with brands that I'm excited to be with, be a part of, but then also people that like, I could talk about someone from each of these shoots, each of these brands that I've met and like we had just such a great connection. I'm so excited to do things moving forward with them because they're great people. So I think I'm in such a fortunate position. It's really incredible. Well, I love to see it. You are literally everywhere and I'm excited to see it more. And honestly, I forgot to of my personal favorite brands

5:10that you got to partner with. Tell me. I heart, of course. Hello, shout out to I Heart Woman Sports and our amazing unanimous team. We love I Heart. We love unanimous.

You know, we love to get into that fashion. Mind his ball. Mind his ball. Yeah. Come on, one. Okay, so now we're going to have a live reaction.

Everything about this eats down. I wish I could see the nails because I know one thing about you you won't come on the nail. Set. Shout out Sarah. Shout out Sarah. Yeah. I like the little curl on my face too. And I just love the details. And you know what? The makeup is giving like smokey around the eyes. I don't think I've ever seen you do that. This eats. I love this. I like it. Come on out. So that's your slam Celsius collab cover.

7:11You also have another cover coming out. Or I believe once this drop, it will be out. Self-magazine. And you have not seen this cover yet, right? I happen. And we did the shoot for this a while ago. I mean, you listed all the brands that I'm working with. And those things are coming out in March, but obviously you can. Like right now I'm locked in just no time to shoot and film all this stuff. So I did most of my shoots and filming and all that content stuff in December, January, leading up a little bit in February. So it wouldn't be a distraction. So this, like I honestly kind of forgot about because so much has happened since then. So I can't wait. I can't wait because I love this shoot. This, I think this might be second to Jordan. Ooh, that's a big high praise up there. It was really cool. It was just different than what I've done before. This is, yeah, this is your first like real fashion.

8:14Yeah, lifestyle cover. Yeah. Oh, how are you feeling? Excited, can we look at it? Yes, all right, come on, let's look. Okay, let's look. We have nervous. I'm nervous. Can you look at it?

Yeah, they're gonna gag. They're gonna gag. First of all, let's get into the outfit. Are you wearing heels, Miss Girl? I am. I know that's right. Tell me about it. Ooh, is this leather? What is this? I need this. I need it. I love the way this looks. The color, the material, the white, the face, the hair, inches. I wish I could just, can I show it?

9:18You look incredible. Wow, how do you feel? Thank you, excited. Like, I can't believe that's me. Who are you? That is you, the AZ Bud effects. Mm, mm, mm. You really like a model. You ever thought about modeling? Are you gonna act and model? Ooh. All right, let's add the list. That's not one of the formulas. Girl, and this is, this is your hair. This is all you? Yeah, this is my hair. Your hair's gotten so long, girl. It has, and I just got a trim too. I'm like, really guy job, no lie. I was so excited to see the other ones. I feel like it's giving, like, with the coat and the hair if it's even like, carry Washington, like, I'm about a whole business. Oh, I'm business. Because, yeah, carry. If you hear this, your daughter is putting it work. You look amazing. I'm not kidding.

10:19Thank you. Seconds are Jordan. You know what I'm talking about? Seconds are Jordan's. Wait till you see the other ones. Wait till you see the other looks on this shoe. This, I've never seen you look like this. I got my favorites. No, this is, I can't, this is, this is a girl. Stop, because not the other looks just hit my phone. What? Not the other looks just hit my phone. I don't want to say hit my phone. Oh, yeah, they did. We girl, it's our phone. Are we allowed to talk about this? I really don't have many words. Like, Aisy, you're going to have to walk through some of these looks. Like, how do you feel? Like, you've never done anything like this before. I know. Actually, so I don't have no words. And I talk a lot, girl. And I do. I know things that, um, which one's your favorite? Oh my gosh. Okay, so the cover, the cover hands down. I'm, I'm like, cause you know what it is?

11:20You've given like fierce before. Like, don't mess with me. Don't play when you have your basketball shoes. This is giving me fierce, but it's also so soft and like feminine and beautiful. They did a great job. You look amazing. I love the little soft smile look away. I love your professional look. You know me and pink go together real bad. So you never could go wrong there. This is like another side view. I'm sorry, I'm doing a lot of talking now after we engaged, but I want to hear what you think. Like, tell me about, tell me about this little mini skirt puffer, puffer long sleeve red look. Tell me about that. This one is crazy. It's just different like the, it's like a little pool floaty around my face. And then just like the, I don't even know what word to describe the top, but like, like the puffy sleeves.

12:20It's just different. I got a lot of like, my legs look good in it. Like, look at my long legs. Come on. It's all those work in rehab. All those leg extensions and trap bar dead lifts and freaking squats and, yeah. And obviously I like the pain. Yes, girl. I'm sorry. I really like the last one. The one to me in the weight room. Those were like, kuchi high boots. Not kuchi hot. The boots go all the way on. They were huge. There was, it took a minute to get on for sure. Is this a custom look? The one with the boots in the weight room. It was like two different outfits she put together. Mm. I like that one. That one is just different. Like, I don't even feel like half. Describe it. Because people, people, people can't see it right now.

13:21I don't know how to talk about this. Okay. So we've got these. It's like a, a little, we've got a button up, a straight button up, long sleeve. And then we have this gray, like, corset-looking thing. And then half of it. It's like a half blazer. Oh, is that how you describe it? Yeah, I would. I would describe it like one of my shoulders and one of my arms. Mm-hmm. And then I have a little skirt. But it's like a puffy-like type skirt underneath. Mm-hmm. And then these super long boots I go all the way up under the skirt, you can't see. This is fierce. Yeah, this one is cool. Like, I can see this walking down the runway, for sure. I like that one a lot. I love all of it. It's so different, but it's so you. It's like another layer. We've seen like so many facets of you. Come on, business woman. We go again to this suit. This is different.

14:22It is different. You look incredible. Let's start. Let's start and finish there. Thank you. So you looked amazing. With Self Mag, they also did like a little workout video with you. Yeah. So in this video, I'm seeing your walking people through. Is this like your normal workout or is this like off season? What is this workout that you're walking through? This is one of my in season workouts. This is like more of an upper body in season workout. So it's not, it's nothing crazy. It's kind of just to keep you, to keep you even. You don't lose your cutters maintaining with this one. Okay, and the maintaining is maintaining. Okay, so everyone who was wondering to ask and what the workout plan is, make sure you tune in to the Self Mag video of her in the weight room, because this is doing band pull-apars. You can do it. Did some pull-ap. I can't even do it.

15:22I can't even do it pull-up, okay. I might do you one. Yeah, I feel like you're long. So it's harder for tall people. Not more arm-solving. Yeah. With some assistance, I give you like six. Okay. With a very strong band. A very strong. You gotta start somewhere. Exactly, but yes. It's gonna be impressive if you could give me six. I give you six. Okay, I'm gonna hold you to that next time I see you, so. Oh my gosh, I gotta send a video over like I swear I give you six. No, but seriously, I get access all the time. So now people want to know, here is your maintain upper body video of AZ working out in the weight room. I'm nervous. I haven't fully watched it. So hopefully it turned out well. Girl, you look good. Honestly, and to be honest, looking like that, they're not even gonna be paying attention to the workout. Come on out. Whatever. Whatever.

16:23But I do think that is kind of why this shoot was extra cool to me just to show like that you can do both. Like it shows my, wasn't doing basketball, but it shows like me working out my athletic side, the strength behind my beauty. And then you see like the the softer feminine side. So I think that's cool to show both sides. I love that. And how like, yeah, they're separate, but they're one. And it's and you can be, yes, and it's you. It's all the things that make you and it's not always just on court. It's off court and all the things that you're into that makes easy. So I love that we get like a peak inside of that side of your life. And it looked amazing. Do you have any like, I know there's a BTS, like, you know, behind the scenes photo, video. Was there any fun behind the scenes stories that I posted? Or oh, oh, you mean a, oh my gosh. Yeah, that's absolutely. Actually, guys, this would have been a great time

17:25to bring Kalise on to have her explain my looks, because she was there for a couple of them. And you know how you can hear her on the bench, whatever I'm shooting. And she's like, wow, all right. Just like not stop talking like whatever she screams at games. Who knows? It was that except that a photo shoot where it's like show vibes, speaker on music, the photographer is like, OK, now do this. Do that. And all you hear is Kalise. Oh, she's better than Beyonce. Oh, look at it. Oh, I'm like, please, thank you. But Josh. So she was definitely my hype woman on set. And that was, it was sweet. It was really sweet, because sometimes, I don't know, I get awkward just posing when it's just me in front of a camera. So I have my hype woman there. Come on, Kalise. Someone had a video. My mom probably has a video of Kalise screaming in the back. I love that. And honestly, as she should, we should hype you up. You should be having a great time doing this. You look great. It came out great. I love that. And we love Kalise.

18:26OK, let's talk about ESPN. You guys have a fun family story dropping. There is a trailer how, tell me more about one, how this opportunity even came about, and then what this is about. Yeah, I don't really remember how it came about. I just remember my parents and agents were talking to me about them wanting to do a story on my whole family. And I remember if I really got many more details besides that, but I thought that would be a really cool opportunity because my family is so unique. And I love how different and special and chaotic and not normal my family is. And any chance I can shout them out, I want to. And so I was like, OK, this seems kind of cool. And so we did some filming. We did some filming, I think, at one of the tournaments. We did some in November, and then over Christmas break, they came and they shot a little bit. But just to, I don't know, I watched the trailer.

19:27And again, when you film things, and it's with anything, like filming that, very commercial filming, even just filming content, like you never really know how it's going to turn out, like you have an idea because you were filming it, but you never really know. And I just watched the trailer, and I'm excited to see it. I think it's going to be really cute just to show the behind the scenes of what the flood family goes through. And I don't know, I hope they can appreciate. And I don't know, I just love my family. And they made me who I am. I wouldn't be where I am without them. So I think to share, to share that spotlight, to shine some on my brothers, on my mom, on my dad, it's going to be special. But I definitely did almost tear up watching the trailer. Short little trailer, yeah. Oh, what is it called? It's called imperfectly perfect. Oh, that's cute. Why is it called that? I actually used, I said that, to describe my family. And I think it's a great way to describe, like we are.

20:28A melting pot, chaotic, super at times, probably should be censored, but aren't. But all of us together, all the imperfections is what makes the flood family perfect. It's what makes us less. And yeah, it wouldn't have any other way. So imperfectly perfect, we are. OK, well, where can we watch imperfectly perfect? I think it's being aired on ESPN, maybe Sports Center. OK, you guys. Listen, I'll be tuned in, make sure you guys tune in to ESPN, Sports Center, or whatever ESPN properties. Yeah, like tune in, you don't have to, it's OK. Tune in. And we will be tuned in. OK.

23:37This is Sarasbane from Good Game with Sarasbane. As a former college athlete, there were many moments where I second-guessed myself. It's natural when you're under pressure. When I had those moments of self-doubt, I found that the smallest thing can study you, like a smile, not because it's easy, but because it reminds you, you belong here. You've put in the work. You can handle this. Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games, helping them build confidence and self-esteem while competing for scholarships.

And sometimes, resilience takes the shape of a smile. So if you ever doubt yourself, remember, your smile is your strength.

24:38Okay, so today, part of our, you know, flooding games we're going to play a game called Flutter Out and Fall in Love. So it's going to be our version of, you know, 36 questions you ask to fall in love. This is going to be the fun-around version of that. Are you ready? Are you ready to fall in love? I'm ready. Oh! The song too. Yes, single. Oh, my God! Just wondering, I think we're a friend. I'm a crying, wow! What's the PR answer? Actually, I am in a relationship. Wow! With Jesus. Same. Jesus. God! Reluctant. Me and my family father. Come on, me and my family father. We lost it for the life. So we're actually dating the same person. Okay, question was, given the choice of anyone in the world,

25:40whom would you want as a dinner guest? Anyone in the world? Oh, I got it. Okay, go ahead. Cheers. You're cliche, I'm sure, to us, but I'm, Jesus, come to the table. Jesus of Nazareth, come to the table. Is that not? I got things to ask. I mean, Jesus did work the earth, but you know, don't want to go too crazy there. Okay, no, that's not true. Okay, that's a really good answer. I would say the same thing, but I'm not going to copy you. So, I'm going to go, I'm going to go with, I want to have dinner with Adam Sandler for Kerry Washington. Yes. For Jim Carey, like the old Jim Carey, not his clone. I was literally going to say, you know, allegedly, he's been cloned, so we got the real one. Okay, next one. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you're going to say? And why? Sometimes. If I'm like asking for permission

26:41or like asking for something or like a serious conversation, then I like, I freak out for a minute before and I have to like practice. What am I going to say? What if they say this? And then take a deep breath. And then I call. That's pretty good. I definitely rehearse conversations, especially if they're like something high stress, or maybe they're a deeper combo or maybe it's some kind of confrontation. I definitely play out scenarios in my head. And I'm like, all right, so what if they say this? And then what you're going to say? But honestly, that goes out of my head once I get on the phone. Exactly. Then I'm just like, I'm like, okay. All right. Next question. What would constitute a perfect day for you on top of cars? I would say a perfect day. Okay. Perfect day to me is sunny. I have like a couple clouds in the sky. It's going to be hot. I'm at the cabin. I'm at Papa's cabin in Minnesota. And my cousin's boat is there.

27:42The wakeboat. So I can go wake surfing. We can go tubing. Go for a swim. Lay in the hammock. Be the bug. Have a couple of drinks. If I feel like it, you know, go jet skiing. Play some bags. Have some hot dogs. Burgers. To me, that's perfect day. That's cool. That sounds like a really lit summer. It's perfect. It's my favorite day. It's perfect. A perfect day is definitely warm weather. It's like, it's, you know, I just feel like some food. And just around a my friends, and family. Does it. I do like activity. Like, sure. If we do like maybe like a pickup game. Or, Oh I like flag football. So maybe we do like a family. Friend game. Flag to ball. Yes. I would love, like any activity that we get to just hang with my friends and family. And do. That's what I'm talking about. Mm-hmm. When did you last sing to yourself, or to someone else?

28:43I mean, I'm probably saying to myself this morning when I was getting ready to sing in my gospel music. Oh my gosh, great. But last night, I guess this morning, three a.m., I was singing a police. Oh, oh, I was packing some stuff up in my room and she was in there with me keeping me company and I was singing to her the whole time. I feel like I sang on this spot. At some point, I feel like I'm always singing. It's just part of my regular routine. And I love that. Thank you for saying that. I love singing. So I'm probably going to sing later today. Right now, I have a song stuck in my head dying this hill by Sienna Spiro. I think her name is. I keep singing that thinking that I can hit those notes. That's not what's actually happening. OK, if you're able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want? That's OK, I know my answer. OK, I would want to keep my body of my 30-year-old self

29:49because my mind, like that 30, that feels kind of a hold for where I am now. But that's not old at all. And I know I'm going to keep learning, I'm going to keep growing and becoming, well, I'm going to keep learning. So if I keep my mind as a 30-year-old, I'm not going to be able to learn all those life lessons and those things are going to help me grow and be a better person. So actually, that's really well said. And then I can wear a bikini my whole life. So I'm not cool. Come on. I'm going to be a matching sets my whole life with a cross. Crop top at 60 or 90 is crazy. Yo, I'm definitely keeping body of a 30-year-old. Period. The mind can go. No, no, no, no, we don't want the mind. But definitely body for sure are. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die? What the hell, Grace?

30:50This turn. This turn left. No, I don't have a secret hunch. No. Me neither. But I will tell you, some people do. Some people do, I feel like, I hope whatever it is is painless. Would you want to know? No. How can I question like, would you want to know how you're going to die or when you're going to die? And I don't want to know either. I don't want to know either. Because then how can I really fully live, you know? Yeah, no, I can't. How can I really fully live if I know exactly when or how? I'm going to avoid whatever the situation is, subconsciously. So I'm not going to do that. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common. Okay, we're both baddies. We're both podcasters and we're both hoopers. Cool. What she said. And we're both, we both, yeah, there you go. That's it. Next. We're both sisters in Christ. We're both God-fearing women.

31:53And we both, like, go, go crazy. My gosh, she's. We might have to add to that. Okay, one in your life, do you feel most grateful for one thing? My family. That's good. Dang. I don't think you can really top that. I would have to agree. Definitely my family. I wouldn't do a specific shout out to my mom, because I literally would not be here without her. So love her down. Love her down. All the course, I baddies, including you, because you was course, if you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be? I mean, I wouldn't change anything because then I wouldn't be the same. Tang, I feel like you still on my asses and I'm going to ask to you. It's so, it's like. Okay, if I had to change something, I'd probably see, but I would have wanted to have adopted

32:59my brother sooner, but like, how adopted my brother's happened was when my grandmother passed and I wouldn't want her to have left us any sooner. I feel like I still didn't have nearly enough time with her, but then, like, if I had more time with her, then I wouldn't have had my brothers. That's one of those things where it's just love. I'm warned. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. I do think that I don't think I would change anything about the way I was raised, because like you mentioned, if I wasn't raised exactly the way that I was, I would end up here, like doing this podcast with you, and I'm really grateful. So I wouldn't change anything. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or ability, what would it be to don't? That's kind of, that's kind of, yo, imagine. I would want to teleport.

33:59Oh, absolutely, I need to teleport. That would be teleport, like, life altering. I have to. There's, honestly, clone myself. How about that? But not like allegedly Jim. But, seriously, I would teleport because there's just so many places I want to be at once, and I can't. So I would definitely do that. All right, that is the first set one of all the questions of how to put around and fall in love. Part two, come in very soon. This sport spotlight is brought to you by Capital One.

As a former college athlete, there were many moments where I second-guessed myself.

37:05It's natural when you're under pressure. When I had those moments of self-doubt, I found that the smallest thing can study you, like a smile. Not because it's easy, but because it reminds you. You belong here. You've put in the work. You can handle this. Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games, helping them build confidence and self-esteem while competing for scholarships. The Colgate Women's Games is the nation's longest running indoor track and field series for girls and women. Colgate knows that resilience is the key to better performance. And sometimes, resilience takes the shape of a smile. So if you ever doubt yourself, remember, your smile is your strength. I love that. Our love is to be a slow bird. We're going to fall in the right way. I'm already starting to feel a little slow.

38:06I felt it was a little warm in here. No. A little warm. Oh my goodness. R-A-Z, I'm about to hype you up. Listen, you know, I'm your hype girl. Because the numbers from this season are actually her story. You're having one of the most efficient scoring seasons we've seen in over the last 20 years. Like, we looked it up. And basically, only four players in the last decade and in the last two decades have done something like this in the season. Are you ready? No. 17 plus points per game. Almost so close to 50% from the field. 40 plus percent from the three and around a 65% true shooting percentage. Which for people listening is an advanced stat that basically measures how

39:06efficient you are as a squirrel overall. Girl, hello. And this list is very short. And the company you're in is kind of ridiculous. You got D.T. Diana Tarasi, who did it for Yukon, the 0203 season, before becoming national player of the year and the number one overall pick in the WNBA drive. And then you got Sabrina Ayunascu at Oregon, who did it in the 2019-2020 season, who was also the national player of the year and number one overall pick. You remember how he was bred coming? I think we, I'm manifesting it now. And you are right in that conversation. And it gets even crazier. I'm going to continue. Yes, I am. So did you know you're flirting with the 50-49 club right now? I know. I was just flirting with you. You make me blush. Girl, right now you're around 49% from the field. 45% from the three and 95% from the free throw line.

40:09Girl, you're playing out of your mind right now. In women's college basketball history, Elena Deladon at Delaware is the only player who has actually hit a 50-40-90 season. And then there's you flirting with it. I'm playing all right. I still have a lot of work to do. And I'm not done. We have some legends who got really close. Chelsea Plum has something like a 53-42-89 season. You're right. She's still going. I thought you were learning. No, well, I got another one. And Sabrina had a 52-39-92 season. I would be so mad at my free throw percent interest thing. That takes you out of the running with that. Well, you got that girl. You are locking at the line. And I'm not done. Shout out to Miss Sarah Strong, who's also putting up some efficient and wild numbers

41:14too during the season. Yeah, I feel like she shoots 100%. That's where I never see that girl miss. She is killing it and also to only be a sophomore. I'm excited to see what it looks like in the future for her. Yeah, there's not enough. I couldn't say enough good things about Sarah. She's incredible. Did you have any idea that you are hoping like this? Like literally one of the most efficient seasons we've seen in years? Anyways, like I said, that... Well, like, no, I can't actually... I didn't know that. I don't look at that stuff, but it doesn't... I feel like I haven't been shooting well lately. So I'm kind of surprised to hear that. Ladies and gentlemen, she says she has a mission. Well, lately, I cannot wait. So she feels like she's shooting well. This is the beginning is what I'm hearing. Anyway, that is really cool, but it's also not that important. I mean, it's important me that I play efficiently.

42:14I hope I'm playing efficiently. I don't want to be insufficient for my team, but those stats are the least of my worries. What if I told you I wasn't done? No, I'd hang up, I'd leave. Okay, quick little tidbit. A-Z, you are a two-way player. Like, not only are you super efficient on offense, you are a lockdown defender. And you have been locked in, getting steals, jumping in passing lanes. You are no seriously. You're usually guarding the best player. So I feel like you've been doing a phenomenon. You've been doing a phenomenal job. Like, the last couple of games, you get two to three steals. Like, you're super efficient on each end. That's all I was going to say. Thank you. That's all I was going to say. Thank you. That's it. I'm dying. It's the glazed session over. I mean, I can't keep rolling. Okay. That's enough. Yes. I'm really proud of my defense and our team's defense. It's been a lot of fun this year.

43:14For me, individually, to play defense and to take that personally. But also, I feel like as a team to have it as our identity, it's been a lot of fun. It's fun to disrupt people's offenses. It's fun to watch. Okay, you guys, as you know, AZ is going to be locked in to the rest of her season. But we have some special guests that will be joining us. The butt family. Woo. It's a little bit nerve-wracking. Honestly, I'm excited. Who knows what they're going to say. All right. That is a wrap on today's episode. Thank you guys so much for tuning in today.
