    Kawhi CLEARED?! NFL Goes Global & Gina Gets Her Shine Box | In the Building | EP. 626

    Mike is broadcasting from his hometown of Fort Worth, and being back in the Metroplex immediately forces him to reconsider years of trashing San Antonio drivers. Dallas traffic, Austin traffic, New York mass transit and the insanity of getting around major cities kick off the show before the guys get into a Cowboys team that suddenly has Mike feeling dangerously optimistic. Von Miller is officially in Dallas on a one-year deal, and Mike and Rudy love the low-risk addition of a future Hall of Fame pass rusher who says he can still "roll out of bed and get sacks." Back in San Antonio, Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones' continued push against Project Marvel gets hammered by Mike and Rudy after City Council votes down the effort to put the issue back on the ballot. The guys argue the voters and council have now spoken and it's time to move forward. The frustration gets strong enough for Mike to declare the mayor an early favorite for ITB's annual D-Bag of the Year tournament. Meanwhile, Roger Goodell says he has "no doubt" the NFL will eventually have teams outside the United States, sparking a debate over whether permanent franchises in Europe could actually work. In Los Angeles, the Buss family is reportedly divided over control of the Lakers, while the guys discuss why the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard may avoid major punishment if there's no evidence directly connecting Steve Ballmer to the alleged payments at the center of the controversy. Topics Covered: San Antonio City Council votes down the latest Project Marvel push Mike and Rudy unload on Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones The early favorite for ITB's D-Bag of the Year Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers could avoid major punishment Steve Ballmer's role in the Clippers controversy Buss family drama surrounding control of the Lakers Jeanie Buss vs. her siblings Roger Goodell says international NFL teams are inevitable Could an NFL franchise actually work in Europe? Why Mexico City and Toronto make more sense to the guys Von Miller officially becomes a Dallas Cowboy Why Mike is getting dangerously optimistic about the Cowboys Dak Prescott and Dallas' revamped roster Dallas traffic makes Mike apologize to San Antonio drivers Why New York is easier to navigate than major Texas cities Mass transit in Texas Remembering ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard A potential ITB Texas music countdown ITB Jam Session?! Key Moments: After years of destroying San Antonio drivers, Mike experiences Dallas traffic and admits terrible driving might just be a big-city problem. Von Miller's contract and his comments about still being able to get sacks have Mike even more excited about the Cowboys. Mike says he's currently leaning toward picking Dallas to win the NFC East, while insisting he's not ready to say Super Bowl. Mayor Gina's Project Marvel push gets voted down by City Council, prompting Mike to break out the "go get your shine box" line. Goodell's use of the word "teams" gets the guys wondering just how ambitious the NFL's international plans really are. The crew debates whether London, Germany or other European markets could support an NFL franchise for an entire season rather than a couple of showcase games. Kawhi somehow finds himself in another controversy where Mike and Rudy wonder if he's going to walk away untouched yet again. The guys remember ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard and immediately start kicking around the idea of ranking the greatest Texas songs. Final Thoughts: Episode 626 goes from San Antonio politics to international NFL expansion, Lakers dysfunction, Kawhi drama and a Cowboys team that's slowly sucking Mike back in. Throw in Dallas traffic, ZZ Top, lifetime chickens from Von Miller and the possibility of an ITB jam session, and the show finds plenty of ways to get off the rails before Mike gets kicked out of his temporary Fort Worth studio. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #KawhiLeonard #LAClippers #SteveBallmer #NBA #LosAngelesLakers #Lakers #JeanieBuss #NFL #RogerGoodell #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #VonMiller #DakPrescott #SanAntonio #ProjectMarvel #SanAntonioSpurs #Spurs #GinaOrtizJones #ZZTop #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #SportsTalk #SportsPodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Cowboy Von Miller & LeBron Joins YouTube | In the Building | EP. 625

    The Cowboys add another big name to the defense with Von Miller, and ITB gives the move two enthusiastic thumbs up. Mike and Rudy explain why a low-risk deal for a veteran pass rusher makes sense, especially after Miller recorded 9.5 sacks last season in a part-time role. Nobody expects prime Von Miller, but adding his pass-rushing ability, experience and championship pedigree has Mike feeling even more confident about Dallas heading into the season. He's even leaning toward picking the Cowboys to win the NFC East. The conversation then gets futuristic when Mike shares video of a Walmart order being delivered directly to a home by drone. That leads to a bigger discussion about Waymo, AI, automation, disappearing jobs and why younger generations may need to seriously consider learning skilled trades. The technology train isn't coming back to the station, so the question becomes how people adapt to it. LeBron James is adapting just fine. The guys welcome LeBron to YouTube after he launches a golf-focused channel and racks up hundreds of thousands of subscribers almost immediately. That sparks a larger conversation about athletes becoming content creators, why having a famous name doesn't automatically make a great podcast, and the difference between celebrity-driven content and people who have spent years learning how to entertain an audience. Topics Covered: Von Miller joins the Dallas Cowboys Why the Cowboys' low-risk move makes sense Miller's 9.5 sacks last season What Von can bring to the Cowboys defense Mike considers picking Dallas to win the NFC East Why NFL preseason football does absolutely nothing for the guys Texas A&M football expectations The Aggies' viral, very grown-looking defensive end The explosion of former athletes starting podcasts Why playing professional sports doesn't automatically make someone a great broadcaster Remembering Tommy John and his impact on baseball Remembering Cowboys great John Niland and the legend of "Johnny Nightlife" Drone delivery arrives at a house Waymo, AI and the future of automation Why skilled trades could become even more valuable LeBron James launches a golf-focused YouTube channel LeBron's immediate subscriber explosion Modern music records vs. records from previous eras Another round of People I Want to Punch Key Moments: Rudy initially wonders why another contender didn't grab Von Miller, but the guys quickly agree there's very little downside for Dallas. Learning Miller had 9.5 sacks last season makes Mike even more bullish on what he can contribute as a rotational pass rusher. Mike says that, if forced to pick today, he'd take the Cowboys to win the NFC East, although he's reserving the right to change his mind before the season. Video of a Walmart drone dropping off a package leads to a surprisingly deep conversation about AI, robotics and which careers will survive automation. The guys argue that skilled trades like electrical, HVAC and roofing could become increasingly valuable as technology reshapes the workforce. LeBron's YouTube launch leads Mike and Rudy into a discussion about the flood of athlete podcasts and why celebrity doesn't necessarily equal talent behind a microphone. The show remembers Tommy John, including the experimental surgery that eventually became synonymous with his name and changed baseball forever. Former Cowboys All-Pro guard John Niland, aka "Johnny Nightlife," gets remembered for his career, personality and life away from football. Episode 625 goes from the Cowboys' newest pass rusher to the future of technology in a hurry. Von Miller has Mike's Cowboys confidence climbing, LeBron is officially coming for the YouTube algorithm, and drones are already dropping packages in people's backyards. Add some Aggie roasting, old-school Cowboys stories and a debate about athlete podcasts, and it's another appropriately chaotic day In The Building. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #VonMiller #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #Cowboys #NFL #NFCeast #LeBronJames #LeBron #YouTube #NBA #Golf #TommyJohn #TexasAM #Aggies #AI #DroneDelivery #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #SanAntonio #TexasSports #SportsTalk #SportsPodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Spurs Take Over TV & The Greatness of Pop | In the Building | EP. 624

    The Spurs have entered a completely different era. San Antonio will play a franchise-record 34 nationally televised games, tying for the most in the NBA, and Mike and Rudy explain why the Wembanyama effect has completely changed how the league views the Spurs. From Wemby's global appeal to Castle and Harper bringing even more excitement, the guys make the case that San Antonio might now have the most entertaining team in basketball. The guys also have a full-circle moment watching Gregg Popovich speak at Don Nelson's memorial. Pop's physical recovery is still a work in progress, but hearing him crack jokes, seeing him travel, and knowing he's still texting young Spurs like Carter Bryant reminds everyone how much his presence continues to shape the organization. Mike reflects on how fortunate he's been to cover Pop, Nelson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and some of the greatest figures of their generation. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones apparently keeps watching In The Building. After Mike and Rudy recently declared victory on the Micah Parsons trade, Jerry publicly praised what the Cowboys have been able to do because of the deal. The guys agree Dallas won the trade, but Rudy pumps the brakes on Jerry comparing it to Herschel Walker. If you want that comparison, you better win championships. Topics Covered: Spurs land a franchise-record 34 nationally televised games The Victor Wembanyama effect on the NBA Why the Spurs may be the league's most entertaining team Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper adding to the hype Wemby's growing villain side Gregg Popovich speaks at Don Nelson's memorial Pop's continued involvement with the young Spurs Remembering Don Nelson Mike reflects on covering Pop, Duncan, Dirk and Nellie Jerry Jones reacts to the Micah Parsons trade Why Mike and Rudy believe the Cowboys won the deal Why it's way too early for Herschel Walker comparisons Cowboys expectations after reshaping the defense The Taylor Curse strikes California and the Dodgers Tiger Woods' golf greatness sparks a very ITB question Where were you on 9/11? The upcoming Mike Taylor BBQ Cook-Off Key Moments: Mike and Rudy celebrate the Spurs getting 34 national TV games, a number that would've seemed impossible even during the championship era. The guys argue that Wemby, Castle and Harper have made the Spurs arguably the most entertaining team in the NBA. Seeing Pop speak at Don Nelson's memorial leads to an emotional conversation about his recovery, legacy and continued influence on the organization. Rudy points out that Pop has already passed the Spurs' "secret sauce" to the next generation, even if Mitch Johnson is now running the team. Jerry Jones echoes Mike and Rudy's confidence in the Micah Parsons trade, but his Herschel Walker comparison gets immediately challenged. Rudy brings a Tiger Woods question from another podcast to the show, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect from ITB follows. The guys look back at exactly where they were on September 11 and how that day changed America. Episode 624 connects the Spurs' past with their future. Gregg Popovich's influence is still everywhere, but Wemby and this young roster have pushed San Antonio into a level of national attention the franchise has never experienced before. Throw in Jerry Jones, Cowboys arguments, Tiger Woods and some classic ITB tangents, and there's plenty to unpack. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #VictorWembanyama #Wemby #SanAntonioSpurs #Spurs #SpursNation #GreggPopovich #CoachPop #DylanHarper #StephonCastle #NBA #NBASchedule #JerryJones #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #MicahParsons #NFL #TigerWoods #DonNelson #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #SanAntonio #SportsTalk #SportsPodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Wemby's a Food Snob, Jayden vs. LSU & Berman's ASS?! | In the Building | EP. 623

    Apparently Victor Wembanyama and Mike Taylor have something in common: they're both food snobs. Wemby's comments about preferring food from France and Europe over Texas food kick off a massive conversation about American food, processed ingredients, Mike's recent Michelin-star eating tour through New York City, and why getting older has completely changed the way the guys eat. Pelón's birthday pizza consequences only add to the chaos. Then it's back to sports. Mike and Rudy go after Jayden Daniels over his dispute with LSU surrounding the use of his likeness and No. 5, arguing that winning a Heisman doesn't automatically put him in Joe Burrow territory. The guys also say goodbye to Russell Westbrook after 18 NBA seasons, looking back at the criticism he took throughout his career while giving him credit for playing every night with an intensity that's increasingly rare in the load-management era. Things get more personal when Mike revisits the headlines surrounding Brad Pitt drinking again and explains why the full interview gave him a different perspective than the viral headlines. Lionel Messi's emotional message following his father's death also hits Mike particularly hard after the recent trip he took with his own dad. And just when the episode starts getting too emotional, Chris Berman's disappearing ass arrives to save the day. Topics Covered: Victor Wembanyama isn't impressed with Texas food Why Wemby imports food from France and Europe Mike embraces becoming a food snob Mike's favorite meals from his New York trip Pelón's disastrous post-birthday pizza experience American processed food vs. eating healthier Jayden Daniels' dispute with LSU over his likeness and No. 5 Why the guys say Daniels isn't Joe Burrow Russell Westbrook's 18-season NBA career What OKC got wrong with Westbrook, Kevin Durant and James Harden Brad Pitt opens up about drinking again How headlines distorted Mike's initial reaction to the Brad Pitt story Lionel Messi's emotional message about his father Mike reflects on traveling with his own dad Chris Berman's viral backside sparks an absolutely unnecessary investigation Why leg day becomes more important as you get older The upcoming Mike Taylor BBQ Cook-Off benefiting the San Antonio Miracle League Key Moments: Wemby saying he still prefers European food gives Mike all the ammunition he needs to defend his own increasingly picky eating habits. Mike declares that one of the best bean-and-cheese tacos he's ever had came from New York City, a take that could get him deported from San Antonio. Mike and Rudy call out Jayden Daniels for expecting LSU to treat his No. 5 like Joe Burrow's No. 9. The guys give Russell Westbrook his flowers, remembering a player who could be frustrating but never lacked effort or intensity. Mike explains why reading Brad Pitt's full interview changed his opinion about the actor drinking again and becomes a lesson in not reacting to headlines alone. Messi's message about losing his father leads Mike into a personal conversation about making time for trips and memories with his own dad. A photo of Chris Berman leads to the crew debating where his back ends and his ass begins before Mike turns it into a public service announcement for doing squats. Episode 623 starts with Wemby's food preferences and somehow travels through Michelin-star restaurants, Jayden Daniels vs. LSU, Russell Westbrook's legacy, Brad Pitt, fathers and sons, and Chris Berman's backside. Sports, food, life and completely unnecessary ass analysis. Pretty standard day In The Building. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #VictorWembanyama #Wemby #SanAntonioSpurs #Spurs #JaydenDaniels #LSU #RussellWestbrook #NBA #NFL #WashingtonCommanders #BradPitt #LionelMessi #Messi #ChrisBerman #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #Pelon #SanAntonio #TexasSports #SportsTalk #SportsPodcast #YouTubePodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Harper on the Rise & Pelon's Birthday | In the Building | EP. 622

    It's Pelón's 34th birthday, and the crew celebrates with gifts, vinyl, plenty of roasting, and a special matinee edition of In The Building. But there's plenty of sports to get into, starting with Dylan Harper continuing to generate buzz. After landing on the cover of Esquire Philippines, Mike makes a HUGE prediction about Harper's future, arguing that the young Spurs guard has perennial NBA All-Star potential and could eventually have a decision to make between Team USA and the Philippines on the international stage. The guys also dive into the Lakers' stunning ownership change and what it could mean for the future of the franchise, discuss the insane money being thrown around in college football through NIL, and react to comments from CBS Sports leadership that have Mike and Rudy wondering whether Tony Romo's broadcasting run is coming to an end. On the Cowboys side, defensive coordinator Christian Parker earns some love for speaking openly about the challenges of running practices with thousands of fans recording everything. And because it's ITB, things don't stay serious for long. Mike shares video from his NBC Studios tour in New York, where he unexpectedly got to sit behind Jimmy Fallon's desk and play late-night host with Nina as his celebrity guest. Pelón gets birthday gifts from Mike, Rudy learns who the White Stripes are, and People I Want to Punch somehow gets Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, cheating golfers, and the Tupac murder case involved. Topics Covered: Dylan Harper lands on the cover of Esquire Philippines How good can Dylan Harper become with the Spurs? Team USA vs. the Philippines for Harper's international future Mike predicts Harper can become a perennial NBA All-Star Pelón celebrates his 34th birthday Mike surprises Pelón with birthday gifts and a White Stripes vinyl Lakers ownership changes hands again What the Lakers situation could mean for Luka Dončić The latest college football NIL money is absolutely insane Why some players have more incentive to stay in college Tony Romo's future at CBS Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker speaks out about fans recording practice Mike's NBC Studios and Saturday Night Live tour Mike gets behind Jimmy Fallon's desk People I Want to Punch The Tupac murder trial Mike Taylor BBQ Cook-Off benefiting the San Antonio Miracle League Key Moments: Mike predicts Dylan Harper will become a yearly NBA All-Star and says Harper and Wemby could each start around 10 All-Star Games during their careers. Harper's Filipino heritage sparks a debate over whether he should eventually pursue Team USA or represent the Philippines internationally. Pelón gets an I Love New York tote bag and Elephant by the White Stripes for his 34th birthday. Mike reveals footage from his NBC Studios tour where he gets thrown behind the desk and asked to fill in for Jimmy Fallon with almost no preparation. The guys react to the massive NIL numbers being paid to elite college football players and explain why some athletes have little reason to rush to the NFL. CBS Sports' comments about Tony Romo have Mike and Rudy convinced his time with the network could be coming to an end. Christian Parker gets a "reach around" from Mike for publicly acknowledging how difficult Cowboys Training Camp can be when fans are recording practice. Rudy wants to punch a golfer accused of faking a hole-in-one, while Mike directs his frustration toward Angelina Jolie over Brad Pitt's reported struggles. Episode 622 celebrates Pelón while looking ahead at what could be a massive future for Dylan Harper and the Spurs. Between Harper's potential, Lakers chaos, Romo's uncertain future, Cowboys optimism, ridiculous NIL money, birthday gifts, Jimmy Fallon's desk, and the usual ITB detours, this one covers a LOT of ground. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #DylanHarper #VictorWembanyama #Wemby #SanAntonioSpurs #Spurs #SpursNation #NBA #Pelon #LukaDoncic #Lakers #TonyRomo #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #NFL #CollegeFootball #NIL #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #SanAntonio #SportsTalk #SportsPodcast #YouTubePodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Mike Does Some YT People S#!t in NYC | In the Building | EP. 621

    Mike is back home after nearly three weeks of bouncing between California, New York, New Jersey, and Texas, and he wastes absolutely no time getting into Cowboys football. Mike and Rudy revisit their take on the Micah Parsons trade after Dallas' latest moves, including the massive commitment to Quinnen Williams, and explain why they believe the Cowboys' decision to move on from Micah has aged extremely well. Mike even goes as far as saying he might pick Dallas to win the division. Then it's time for Mike's NYC show-and-tell. He recounts the strange feeling of touring Madison Square Garden and walking into the Knicks locker room after the Spurs-Knicks Finals, then takes things in an entirely different direction with his trip to Brooklyn's bizarre human bone museum. The guys also react to the Spurs playing the Knicks at MSG on Christmas, discuss the Spurs' path to Wemby, introduce another round of Rudy's Useless Facts, and remember legendary NBA coach Don Nelson. Topics Covered: Cowboys' post-Micah Parsons moves Why Mike and Rudy believe they were right about the Micah trade Quinnen Williams and the Cowboys' revamped defensive front Mike considers picking Dallas to win the division Mike tours Madison Square Garden Walking into the Knicks locker room after the NBA Finals Spurs vs. Knicks at MSG on Christmas Day Brian Wright's comments about the Spurs positioning themselves for Victor Wembanyama Mike visits a human bone museum in Brooklyn Real skeletons, skulls, mummies and Bone Jovi the museum cat Remembering Don Nelson after his death Rudy's Useless Ocean Facts Free diving, cruises and why the ocean is terrifying People I Want to Punch Key Moments: Mike and Rudy victory-lap their old Micah Parsons take and declare themselves "Football Talkin' Sumbitches." Mike says the Cowboys' recent roster construction has him seriously considering picking them to win the division. Touring Madison Square Garden is awesome until Mike steps into the Knicks locker room and those Spurs Finals wounds start opening back up. Mike spends $50 per person to look at actual human remains in Brooklyn, which Rudy immediately classifies as elite-level "White People Shit." The guys react to Brian Wright explaining how early the Spurs recognized Wemby's potential and the moves that followed. Rudy drops some legitimately terrifying ocean facts, which turns into a discussion about free diving and Mike swimming a quarter-mile into the ocean. Mike and Rudy remember Don Nelson's personality, coaching career, love of beer and weed, and the impact he had on the NBA. Episode 621 is basically ITB in its purest form. Serious Cowboys roster analysis turns into a Knicks locker-room therapy session, which turns into dead bodies in Brooklyn, Don Nelson stories, terrifying ocean facts and arguments about whether Mike willingly participates in "White People Shit." Mike may finally be back home, but the chaos definitely made the trip back with him. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #MicahParsons #QuinnenWilliams #NFL #VictorWembanyama #Wemby #SanAntonioSpurs #Spurs #NewYorkKnicks #MadisonSquareGarden #MSG #DonNelson #NBA #NewYorkCity #SportsPodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Kawhi in HOT WATER, Dak Opens Up & SA Leaders BLAST the Mayor | In the Building | EP. 620

    Mike joins the show from the New York area after putting in more than 23,000 steps exploring the city, while Rudy broadcasts live from Texas Cheer Liquor. The Friday night energy gets loose quickly with New York stories, Broadway plans, celebrity hall passes, fashion debates, and the debut of what might need to become a permanent segment: Useless Animal Facts with Rudy Jay. This week's star is the absolutely insane honey badger. On the sports side, Kawhi Leonard's situation gets even messier as the guys discuss reports of another undisclosed sponsorship connected to a company involved with the Clippers' Intuit Dome. Mike and Rudy debate how much responsibility falls on Kawhi versus Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and what the NBA could eventually do if the allegations are proven. Dak Prescott also publicly addresses his breakup for the first time, calling out "false narratives" surrounding the split while acknowledging what comes with living under the Cowboys spotlight. Back in San Antonio, Mike and Rudy react to another City Hall rally over Project Marvel and strongly criticize Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones' continued push to revisit the issue. The guys also get a kick out of former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson pursuing another year of NCAA eligibility after being drafted by Cleveland, and Mike gets hyped for the upcoming Madden movie starring Nicolas Cage. Topics Covered: Kawhi Leonard tied to another alleged no-show sponsorship Could Steve Ballmer and the Clippers face major NBA punishment? Dak Prescott publicly addresses his breakup Dak on dealing with rumors and the Cowboys spotlight San Antonio leaders push back against Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones Project Marvel and the future of the Spurs in downtown San Antonio Mike's latest adventures in New York Why nobody seems to want to play for the Cleveland Browns Cole Hutson pursues another year of college eligibility Useless Honey Badger Facts with Rudy Jay Nicolas Cage as John Madden in the upcoming Madden movie Celebrity hall passes and questionable online purchases People I Want to Punch Key Moments: Mike calls for Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones to consider resigning as the Project Marvel fight continues at City Hall. Kawhi's situation gets even stranger with discussion of a second alleged sponsorship where the guys question exactly what Kawhi knew. Dak addresses his split and says there have been false narratives surrounding both sides of the breakup. Rudy introduces everyone to the terrifying world of honey badgers, including their ability to take on venomous snakes. The guys love the story of Cole Hutson seeking another year at Texas after being drafted by the Browns. Mike proposes an In The Building movie night after getting hyped for Nicolas Cage playing John Madden. Episode 620 has a little bit of everything: Kawhi controversy, Cowboys talk, San Antonio politics, Mike's New York adventures, Cleveland catching strays, honey badgers, whiskey, and a Friday night show that gets progressively more chaotic. It's exactly the kind of sports-meets-real-life randomness that makes In The Building what it is. #InTheBuilding #ITBPodcast #KawhiLeonard #DakPrescott #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #SanAntonioSpurs #ProjectMarvel #SanAntonio #GinaOrtizJones #LAClippers #SteveBallmer #ClevelandBrowns #NFL #NBA #NewYorkCity #MikeTaylor #RudyJay #SportsTalk #YouTubePodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Luka's Ex Lost It, RC Fires Back & Mike Takes NYC | In the Building | EP. 619

    Mike joins the show live from Hoboken after spending his first day exploring New York City. From a subway delay that derailed plans to visit the infamous Bone Museum to wandering through Manhattan and soaking in the city's energy, Mike shares why New York remains one of his favorite places in America. He also previews his NBC Studios tour, debates whether to wear Spurs gear around Knicks fans, and talks about why Hoboken might be one of the coolest cities he's ever visited. Back home, the guys dive into one of the biggest San Antonio stories of the week as RC Buford publicly pushes back against Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones over Project Marvel, arguing the city has already spoken. They also react to Luka Dončić's ex-fiancée reportedly seeking a massive financial settlement and reduced visitation, discuss the changing economics of NFL running backs, Mike's renewed optimism for the Cowboys after training camp, and why Major League Baseball has become too dependent on analytics.
