Speaker 2: me on. You know, you know, I never thought this
Speaker 2: day would come.

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and it's been a minute since I've seen
Speaker 2: you yesterday.
Speaker 3: It's been way too long.
Speaker 1: The world is holding us back. But anyways, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're on. I want to hop right into it.
Speaker 3: First of all, to talk about the drip.
Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, that one's questionable. I mean I like it,
Speaker 2: but you're not as drip. Here's me though too much.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, we got to because we have people who
Speaker 1: are not going to watch. We have people who are
Speaker 1: only going to listen, so let them know what you
Speaker 1: got on.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I did a little scrolling on the
Speaker 2: on the Nike website, and actually I didn't even need
Speaker 2: to scroll because the first thing that popped up was easy.
Speaker 2: So but you know, I had to scroll away from that,
Speaker 2: and then you know, I saw one of these and
Speaker 2: I was like, yep, add to.
Speaker 3: The car at the car it's an iconic.
Speaker 2: Hirt. Yes, I love that that one elements that clash
Speaker 2: come on Iconic Bond. We love to see that. So
Speaker 2: it's just I can't wait to rep it. I can't
Speaker 2: wait to war. It is out in public.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you gotta get fire.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to write. I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: my size. That's what I can't wait for. Yeah, hook
Speaker 1: me up, brother, No comment is crazy. Well, I am
Speaker 1: rocking asy fudd jersey. It is a limited edition. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure this is exclusive. I have a pink and
Speaker 1: blue one.
Speaker 3: Repping my girl.
Speaker 1: We gonna see that. That's a good question.
Speaker 3: I think we may see it for the final four,
Speaker 3: because God willingly, you know.
Speaker 2: We'll get there. Oh, maybe we get one. Maybe I'll
Speaker 2: get my way.
Speaker 3: I would love that. And then we gotta get our
Speaker 3: picture and our videos.
Speaker 2: Uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 1: Okay, he'llse I really want to jump into your story
Speaker 1: because you know, everyone knows that your Asi's brother. But
Speaker 1: I would love to rewind for everybody a little bit
Speaker 1: more about you and your story, your adoption, everything from
Speaker 1: the beginning birth.
Speaker 3: No, just kidding, tell us a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really remember much of my childhood,
Speaker 2: so I mean, maybe it's for the better. Like, I
Speaker 2: don't really know what the circumstances was when I was younger,
Speaker 2: but it was you know, I know ESPN covered a
Speaker 2: little bit of it, but we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 2: But you know, I was a me and my brother
Speaker 2: John Foster children, you know, moving from home to home,
Speaker 2: and it was you know, it's not a story you
Speaker 2: hear much, especially with like someone of like Asy's popularity,
Speaker 2: Like you wouldn't think this, like these are her two
Speaker 2: little brothers, and you know, we moved through homes and
Speaker 2: we were fortunate enough to be placed in Nanny or Georgia,
Speaker 2: Tim's mom's home. We were there for a little bit
Speaker 2: and sadly she had passed. We had no clue of
Speaker 2: her health, her what situation she was in, and so
Speaker 2: it kind of was just it snuck up on me
Speaker 2: and John. I think my dad a little bit too,
Speaker 2: and so was just we she ended up passing. We
Speaker 2: moved in with my dad and now we've blossomed this
Speaker 2: beautiful family that we have. You know, we were these
Speaker 2: two little Hispanic boys running around the basketball gyms while
Speaker 2: as he was in there practicing. And I got old
Speaker 2: enough that all of Asy's like teammates were my older sisters,
Speaker 2: and so you know, they would invite me when I
Speaker 2: got older, I would go and practice with them. So
Speaker 2: it was just I grew up in a gym and
Speaker 2: I loved for basketball like blossom there. It was birth there,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate, you know, my parents bring me into
Speaker 2: this game. It's beautiful and sadly I'm not playing anymore,
Speaker 2: but it was I enjoyed just growing up with it.
Speaker 2: It was something that just it comforts you. And being
Speaker 2: able to grow up like with Asy with it too,
Speaker 2: being her rebounders and going to her games and just
Speaker 2: supporting her. It's you know, it's it's wonderful. I love it.
Speaker 2: So that's a little bit about me. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna, you know, go into too much detail, but.
Speaker 3: Listen, it's your episode. You can talk about as much
Speaker 3: as you want, you know, or not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, but I think that's really beautiful. You
Speaker 1: mentioned like playing basketball growing up in the gym. Was
Speaker 1: that like your outlet, Like that was your way of
Speaker 1: dealing with whatever you had to go through like that?
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I don't I wouldn't say like
Speaker 2: my past was traumatic. You know, I remember some things,
Speaker 2: but it's not like nothing was bad. It was just
Speaker 2: you know, some kids don't have to go through that.
Speaker 2: You know, they grow up in homes where you know,
Speaker 2: everything is okay and uh, you know, loving parents and
Speaker 2: beautiful houses and just you know, or just you know,
Speaker 2: just the thought of family being together since birth. And
Speaker 2: you know, I had to find mine, find that forever
Speaker 2: home people who love me and you know, would do
Speaker 2: anything for me. And my parents did that, they showed that,
Speaker 2: and so it's just you know, I'm fortunate.
Speaker 3: So actually beautiful, Oh I know, but no, that's that's beautiful.
Speaker 3: That's really beautiful.
Speaker 1: Tapping back into like the basketball you said you played,
Speaker 1: you don't play anymore, tell me a little bit more
Speaker 1: about like you played until when did you get coached.
Speaker 3: By your parents?
Speaker 2: Yes? Actually I did.
Speaker 3: Love I want to hear more about that.
Speaker 2: Well, I started fourth grade. I was a little late
Speaker 2: to the game, you know, easy started in like first
Speaker 2: second grade. But I wanted to try the things out.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm very like, I'm very open minded. You know.
Speaker 2: You know, if you asked me to do something, you
Speaker 2: know I'll try because you know, I'm I'm feeling adventurous.
Speaker 2: So I played. I played baseball, in second grade with
Speaker 2: my brother. We ended our season because we accidentally left
Speaker 2: our equipment at the baseball field. So that must have
Speaker 2: been aside from God that we yeah, tried out for
Speaker 2: soccer and uh in third grade. I was it was
Speaker 2: third grade. I ended up trying out again in middle school,
Speaker 2: but I didn't make the team. Sad day, you know.
Speaker 2: But I started playing basketball in fourth grade, and you know,
Speaker 2: it was just well, I you know, I started before
Speaker 2: I was you know, in the gym with azy, but
Speaker 2: I wanted to play on my own team, build my
Speaker 2: own community. And you know, I played with a bunch
Speaker 2: of the boys going through middle school and then and
Speaker 2: started high school. And I actually talked to one person
Speaker 2: today from my fourth grade basketball team. He's my brother.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's it I have. I've built so
Speaker 2: many connections and friends do it. And you know, I
Speaker 2: played through high school. I played one year in college
Speaker 2: and it was actually a very It was a new
Speaker 2: group of guys people have never played with before, and
Speaker 2: we ended up building a very close connection. We went
Speaker 2: to the NC Double a D three. I think it
Speaker 2: was yeah, Sweet sixteen. We played in the Sweet sixteen
Speaker 2: last year. Who yeah, shout out Mary Washington. They're actually
Speaker 2: in the they're in the national championship they won while
Speaker 2: they're playing in the D three National Championship this year
Speaker 2: in Indiana. So it's it's really cool. And you know,
Speaker 2: we started off as a struggling program and we ended
Speaker 2: up being ranked sixteenth and going to the NT double
Speaker 2: A tournament, winning our conference championship. So it was I
Speaker 2: won say that, like I feel left out this year,
Speaker 2: but you know I did my part in my role
Speaker 2: when at that time, and you know, I got a
Speaker 2: lot of accolades, like I won my conference championship.
Speaker 1: Like listen, it's looking like the whole family is successful
Speaker 1: in basketball. Everyone has their own personal success in that
Speaker 1: family like m hm live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's uh so then I sadly, you know,
Speaker 2: stop playing basketball. You know, I like being around it,
Speaker 2: but playing and just being in it, uh you know,
Speaker 2: it wasn't really my thing. So but you know, I
Speaker 2: still I still love the game. I still love watching
Speaker 2: as play it and watching it on TV. Like it's
Speaker 2: it's just it's a beautiful game.
Speaker 3: So for sure, you mentioned that Easy started playing. You said,
Speaker 3: like maybe first or second grade, when did you realize
Speaker 3: she was really good? At basketball, Like when did she
Speaker 3: start having fans and fame and when did it change
Speaker 3: for your family?
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean she's she's had fans since she
Speaker 2: started playing. Me and John, Me and John all we
Speaker 2: were always number one. I'm gonna let you know that,
Speaker 2: you know, uh, trying to you know, help her grow
Speaker 2: and be who she is. Like I've I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I don't really like spotlight attention. You know, it's Easy's career.
Speaker 2: I'm just glad that I played a role in it,
Speaker 2: Like I somehow she benefited off of me because I
Speaker 2: was a brother and I helped her out and you know,
Speaker 2: I do anything for her. So it's just it's great
Speaker 2: to see, you know, the key role I played into
Speaker 2: you know, who she's become today. So it's I think,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm her number one fan since since she
Speaker 2: started playing, but nationally or even in high school. I
Speaker 2: think you know, all the little girls that she worked
Speaker 2: out around or like trained or helped like my mom,
Speaker 2: like immersed, like brought them together like these girls watching
Speaker 2: asy workout and then they would go and watch her
Speaker 2: games like see her do it live. And so it's
Speaker 2: just she built that fan base since high school and
Speaker 2: she worked hard and you know, started getting national attention
Speaker 2: as she moved her way up through high school and
Speaker 2: sadly her injury kind of set her back, but she
Speaker 2: pushed through it and committed to Yukon and that's when
Speaker 2: you know that fan base started to grow. The state
Speaker 2: of Connecticut shows so much love to her, So it's
Speaker 2: and people all around the all around the world. It's
Speaker 2: I would say she's always had fans. She's always had fans,
Speaker 2: but she definitely these past couple of years are just
Speaker 2: these past like before COVID too. It's just it's wonderful
Speaker 2: to see how how much he has grown.
Speaker 3: For sure, I can I can't even imagine, because I mean,
Speaker 3: her fan base now is like insane, insane, loyal, loving.
Speaker 2: Yeah Rocket, There'll be some crazy though, there would be
Speaker 2: some crazy.
Speaker 3: But you know what comes with it.
Speaker 2: It comes with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll take you, We'll take yeah.
Speaker 1: So and I think it's beautiful that you mentioned you're
Speaker 1: kind of like honored for the role that you get
Speaker 1: to play in where she is today, and she she
Speaker 1: honors that as you know, imperfectly perfect came out on
Speaker 1: Sports Center.
Speaker 3: I know it was beautiful. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I think it showed a little bit of you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're getting more and more layers as
Speaker 1: I can continue to see A Z and and you
Speaker 1: guys on.
Speaker 3: Socials and et cetera.
Speaker 1: I think this really shows like how much she really
Speaker 1: loves you guys to her success. What was your reaction
Speaker 1: after seeing it?
Speaker 2: It was definitely I watched it on the air, like
Speaker 2: in the airport coming back from Florida. It had gotten
Speaker 2: out and it was on one of the pages online,
Speaker 2: but I had watched it and it was honestly, it
Speaker 2: was emotional, right, I shed a tear because I don't
Speaker 2: think I've ever I've never seen my dad cry like that,
Speaker 2: you know, And it definitely was a very strong message.
Speaker 2: It was a strong message. It was a strong message,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate them for doing that. But like I said,
Speaker 2: this is asy fud stuff. And you know, I'm I
Speaker 2: play a mere role behind her success, and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm at the end of the day, I'm her brother.
Speaker 3: And her brother first.
Speaker 2: So it was just I'm I'm honored and you know,
Speaker 2: showing that that depth of our family tree, it's it's
Speaker 2: not natural. You don't see that every day, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's we were strangers turned family.
Speaker 3: So it's the family you choose, you know.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm I've been blessed to be living with
Speaker 2: them and growing with them. So ESPN did a very
Speaker 2: beautiful job covering that.
Speaker 1: Sure, is there anything that didn't make it to the
Speaker 1: doc that you wish was in there?
Speaker 2: It was a long interview, it was it was a
Speaker 2: long recording process, and I was actually surprised about how
Speaker 2: many clips that weren't in there, like it's crazy. But
Speaker 2: the last part when I was like, you know, Asy
Speaker 2: wanted to do one thing, it was proved to herself
Speaker 2: that she could do you know, whatever she you know,
Speaker 2: was destined to do, like whatever goal she had set
Speaker 2: for herself that day, or you know, whatever goal she
Speaker 2: had formed in her like in her mind going to
Speaker 2: sleep that night, Like she's always trying to do something,
Speaker 2: and you know, going into the final four. It was
Speaker 2: kind of based around the n C Double A tournament
Speaker 2: last year. You know, I know she wanted it and
Speaker 2: the whole team wanted it, and I knew that she
Speaker 2: was going to prove to herself that despite the injury
Speaker 2: she's been through and all the adversity she's faced, that
Speaker 2: she was going to tear that court up and come on,
Speaker 2: and we came home with that and we came home,
Speaker 2: let's go what are we talking about? Yes, and she
Speaker 2: was eating that up. She was tearing But you know,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm excited to see it this year. I'm excited.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, March is here, the tournament is rolling.
Speaker 3: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: So of madness, a little bit of madness.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know you've definitely been too dead.
Speaker 2: I've been watching games. I have YouTube TV, just watching
Speaker 2: the whole time.
Speaker 3: Facts. I'm like, who won, who lost? Who playing next?
Speaker 3: What are playing that? We're bracket h So yeah, I
Speaker 3: mentioned that your family first of.
Speaker 1: All, as has been on a generational run this March.
Speaker 3: Like every time I turn my TV on, my good
Speaker 3: Sess is on it.
Speaker 1: Like every commercial for March Madness, I see your face
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well deserved, and it also makes me
Speaker 1: super proud.
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's my girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my girl right now.
Speaker 1: And when I watch the games with like people for
Speaker 1: my job, et cetera, show pop up and they'll look over,
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's my ground.
Speaker 3: But you guys, did a guy go commercial? Well you
Speaker 3: unfortunately yeah, we're not able to participate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I was I chose that. I
Speaker 2: chose it was Valentine's Day, and you know, I had
Speaker 2: one more day and I was just like, I was like,
Speaker 2: come on, guys, like and I knew like a bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff was coming out, but like, you know, I
Speaker 2: wanted to be as as president as possible in the moment.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm glad they all did it, though.
Speaker 2: The rest of the family like, being in that is
Speaker 2: a very cool experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. It's
Speaker 2: it's so crazy just seeing it pop up on the
Speaker 2: screen every day. You're like, like, who's that handsome fella
Speaker 2: right there? But like John Fudd or you know, it's
Speaker 2: just it's it's an amazing experience. So sadly I didn't
Speaker 2: get to be in it. But it's okay, I mean
Speaker 2: it's all right, it's all right. More to come, more
Speaker 2: to come, more to come, don't worry. Yes, but acting
Speaker 2: skills up? What you mean?
Speaker 1: Hold on now you're letting me know some you gotta
Speaker 1: be you gotter be on TV.
Speaker 3: Lips still Okay. I remember seeing uh the guy called
Speaker 3: commercial the first time.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's super dope. My sister's acting
Speaker 1: loved that. I did not realize that the whole family
Speaker 1: was in it until after I watched it again, and
Speaker 1: I was like, that lady with the ready here she is,
Speaker 1: like did they hire an actor to play her mom
Speaker 1: or something?
Speaker 3: Whole time it's Katie. And then I started really looking
Speaker 3: in the crowd, and then I noticed the whole freaking family.
Speaker 3: That is so cool. That is super dope.
Speaker 2: So now probably be so geeked about it.
Speaker 3: He'd be like everybody was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my gosh, Papa, we just listeners if you have, yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead and watch that commercial over Little Nuggets. You
Speaker 1: see all the Fud family in there, or almost all

Speaker 3: see you, they see them, they see you, they see them,
Speaker 3: they see you. Okay.
Speaker 1: So now we're going to react to some interesting Fud
Speaker 1: family photos. The first one I want to address is
Speaker 1: this picture with you and John and you're wearing a
Speaker 1: hot dog suit.
Speaker 3: How did you get here?
Speaker 2: Honest?
Speaker 3: What is the story?
Speaker 2: I think it was first or second round. It might
Speaker 2: it might have been two years ago, maybe but I
Speaker 2: remember I had that hot dude hot that hot dog costume.
Speaker 2: I had it in my room for some reason, like
Speaker 2: it was just it was sitting there and we were
Speaker 2: packing up to go to the cave and I was like,
Speaker 2: I was like, huh, Like like what kind of stupid
Speaker 2: idea could I come up with today? And we could
Speaker 2: just bring to the game. And I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, let's this Like, you know, I might regret
Speaker 2: put it in my bag, but let's screw it. Let's go.
Speaker 2: And so then when I was getting ready for one
Speaker 2: of the games, I was like, let's do it. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put it on, and I ended up putting I
Speaker 2: was wearing it for the whole game and we were
Speaker 2: just dancing the whole time. It was so fun. Like

Speaker 2: at the games, like we do not care.
Speaker 1: I have experienced it for myself. You guys are a
Speaker 1: great time. And honestly, pair you up with Papa.
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, whoa, it's getting dangerous.
Speaker 1: Right, that's a whole lot of energy. It made me feel,
Speaker 1: you know, freer to start celebrating a little bit, you.
Speaker 3: Know, louder.
Speaker 2: Embarrassment is an emotion that is doesn't exist. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: it's no one that no one experiences that emotion. So

Speaker 2: to any of her away games, Like this is the
Speaker 2: most I've been to her games, Like in a whole
Speaker 2: five year span she's been here because I, you know,
Speaker 2: I've been playing. I was playing basketball in high school
Speaker 2: and in college, so I had my own season. It
Speaker 2: was very hard for us to you know, talk to
Speaker 2: each other and get that time to you know, just
Speaker 2: hang out with each other. But I would say, out
Speaker 2: of all the places, gosh, I don't know, that's a
Speaker 2: very great question, I would say Chattanooga, Tennessee. That is
Speaker 2: one of my Yeah. Okay, all right, oh wait, you

Speaker 2: It was definitely chat It was Chattanooga, Tennessee. She was
Speaker 2: playing for her old fusion team and this was when

Speaker 2: moments for me because it was like Chattanooga is beautiful
Speaker 2: and it was like my first place I've ever been
Speaker 2: to that was like not in Northern Virginia and Georgia.
Speaker 2: It was just something different. And you know, we had
