SPURS vs SUNS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Building
WEMBY IS UNFAIR! THE SPURS WIN NINE STRAIGHT! The San Antonio Spurs absolutely HUMILIATE the Phoenix Suns, 122-96, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are almost running out of words to describe Victor Wembanyama. The big man finishes with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 blocks on 15-of-19 shooting in just 25 minutes, delivering one of the most ridiculous performances the guys have ever witnessed. Phoenix had absolutely no answers, and even Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliott called Wemby's dominance unfair. But this wasn't just the Wemby show. The Spurs' team defense was suffocating, the offense was incredibly efficient, and San Antonio extended its winning streak to NINE games, even without Devin Vassell. De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper took turns running the offense, Julian Champagnie provided outside shooting, and the Spurs finished with 30 assists. Mike and Rudy discuss why Wemby is entering Wilt Chamberlain territory, which NBA teams can actually challenge San Antonio, and whether this Spurs squad is becoming a legitimate championship threat. Topics Covered: Wemby's UNREAL 40-point performance: Victor Wembanyama dominates Phoenix with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 blocks in only 25 minutes, finishing with a plus-30 rating. Spurs destroy the Suns 122-96: San Antonio overwhelms Phoenix on both ends of the floor, extending its winning streak to nine games. Wemby vs. Wilt Chamberlain comparisons: Mike and Rudy discuss Wembanyama's unprecedented combination of size, skill, efficiency, and defensive impact. Can anybody stop Wemby? The guys debate how opposing teams can defend him, whether smaller lineups might work, and why most NBA teams simply don't have an answer. De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper shine: Fox and Harper combine for 32 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists, giving San Antonio another dimension offensively. Spurs dominate without Devin Vassell: The guys discuss San Antonio's guard rotations, Julian Champagnie's shooting, and how the team continues to win while managing injuries. Mitch Johnson's rotations and the Spurs' depth: From Stephon Castle to Luke Kornet and Tarris Reed Jr., Mike and Rudy break down how San Antonio is developing its supporting cast. What's next for the Spurs? San Antonio heads to Chicago before returning home to face Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, with another In the Building postgame show planned for Friday. Key Moments: WEMBY MAKES THE SUNS LOOK LIKE A YOUTH LEAGUE TEAM! Mike opens the show comparing Phoenix's embarrassing loss to getting blown out as a kid in youth sports. Rudy says Wemby's dominance has reached a level where opponents simply have no answers. 40 POINTS IN 25 MINUTES IS ABSURD! Wemby shoots 15-of-19, grabs 11 rebounds, blocks eight shots, and finishes plus-30. Mike and Rudy debate what his numbers would look like if he played 38 to 40 minutes a night. THE SPURS' THREE-GUARD ATTACK IS GETTING DANGEROUS! De'Aaron Fox and Wemby control the first half before Dylan Harper takes over in the third quarter. The guys discuss how San Antonio's guards are learning to play alongside their superstar center. NINE STRAIGHT WINS AND NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN! Mike and Rudy explain why winning nine consecutive NBA games is impressive regardless of the competition, especially with the Spurs' efficient offense, defensive energy, and ability to rest their starters. IS WEMBY BECOMING MUST-SEE NBA HISTORY? The guys compare watching Wembanyama to witnessing Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and other all-time greats. Even opposing fans are starting to appreciate the show Wemby puts on. Final Thoughts: THE NBA HAS A WEMBY PROBLEM! The Spurs aren't just winning basketball games. They're making opponents look helpless, and Victor Wembanyama is the biggest reason why. With nine straight victories, improving chemistry between Fox, Harper, and Wemby, and a defense that can overwhelm teams, San Antonio is becoming one of the most entertaining teams in basketball. Mike and Rudy know tougher tests are coming, but if Wemby keeps dominating like this, the rest of the NBA has some serious problems.

Cowboys CLOWN SHOW Survives! Wemby's INSANE Stats & College Football Chaos | In the Building | EP. 675
THE COWBOYS WON, WEMBY IS MAKING HISTORY, AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS GETTING CRAZY! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are back for Episode 675 of In the Building, and there's plenty to get into after another ridiculous football weekend. The Dallas Cowboys escape Indianapolis with a 27-23 win over the Colts, but Mike isn't buying the postgame celebration. From CeeDee Lamb's costly fumble to DeMarvion Overshown running onto the field in street clothes, the Cowboys somehow managed to win while looking completely unserious. Rudy even predicts Dallas could turn around and beat the San Francisco 49ers next week. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama is putting up numbers that have Mike and Rudy comparing him to Spurs legend David Robinson. The guys also react to Arch Manning's breakout performance in Texas' road victory over Missouri, unveil Mike's TPI College Football Rankings, recap their weekend football picks, and rip through the NFL's biggest storylines. Add in Malik Nabers' beef with Greg Olsen, Doc Rivers' comments about Giannis Antetokounmpo, and a bizarre Lakers mix-up, and this episode goes completely off the rails. Topics Covered: Cowboys CLOWN SHOW survives Indianapolis: Dallas improves to 4-5 after beating the Colts 27-23, but Mike and Rudy question the team's discipline, maturity, and coaching under Brian Schottenheimer. Cowboys vs. 49ers preview: Rudy predicts Dallas will upset San Francisco at home, while Mike explains why Dak Prescott and the offense will need their best performance against Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan. Football picks report: Mike, Rudy, and John review their picks from UTSA vs. FAU, Texas vs. Missouri, Alabama vs. LSU, Packers vs. Patriots, and Cowboys vs. Colts. Mike and John head into Monday Night Football tied. TPI College Football Rankings: Mike reveals his personal top 12, putting Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Miami at the top. Rudy challenges his SEC-heavy rankings and argues Utah and UCLA deserve more respect. Victor Wembanyama's INSANE stats: Mike compares Wemby's early-career production with David Robinson's, highlighting how Wemby has accumulated more points, rebounds, and blocks in significantly fewer minutes, according to the numbers discussed on the show. Texas Longhorns' huge road win: Arch Manning shines in Missouri as Mike and Rudy discuss his improved footwork, confidence, and chemistry with Steve Sarkisian. Can Texas keep rolling against LSU, Arkansas, and Texas A&M? NFL Two-Minute Drill: The guys cover Green Bay's blowout win over New England, the Bengals beating Atlanta in Madrid, the Texans crushing the Chargers, the Bears surviving Tampa Bay, and the NFC playoff picture. Malik Nabers vs. Greg Olsen: Rudy sides with Olsen after the broadcaster criticizes Nabers' body language, arguing the Giants receiver needs to worry less about the cameras and more about his response. Key Moments: Mike's new Cowboys philosophy gets tested. After watching Brian Schottenheimer's victory speech, Mike nearly abandons his plan to enjoy Cowboys wins and laugh at Cowboys losses. He also revisits CeeDee Lamb's fumble and DeMarvion Overshown's ridiculous penalty. The football picks race comes down to Monday night. Rudy finishes with two correct picks, while Mike and John each have three. Their Buffalo Bills vs. Minnesota Vikings selections force a total-points tiebreaker. Mike unveils the TPI Top 12. Georgia takes the top spot, Alabama comes in second, and LSU lands surprisingly high despite three losses. Rudy pushes back on the lack of respect for Utah and the undefeated UCLA Bruins. Wemby vs. David Robinson gets REAL. Mike and Rudy compare the first 190 career games of two Spurs giants, focusing on Wembanyama's statistical production despite playing substantially fewer minutes. The guys also look ahead to the Spurs' road matchup against the Phoenix Suns. People I Want to Punch gets personal. Rudy calls out Doc Rivers for criticizing Giannis Antetokounmpo's basketball IQ, while Mike goes after Lakers forward Zaire Williams for apparently confusing Austin Reaves with Luka Dončić. The conversation somehow turns into a debate about Rudy's resemblance to Bun B. Final Thoughts: THE COWBOYS ARE ALIVE, ARCH MANNING IS WAKING UP, AND WEMBY IS DIFFERENT! Dallas may be only one game below .500, but Mike and Rudy aren't ready to call the Cowboys contenders just yet. Texas has new life behind Arch Manning, Mike's college football rankings are guaranteed to make somebody mad, and Victor Wembanyama continues to give Spurs fans somethin

COWBOYS vs COLTS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Shed
THE DALLAS COWBOYS WON A FOOTBALL GAME, AND MIKE TAYLOR STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE WATCHED! The Cowboys escape Indianapolis with a 27-23 victory over the Colts, improving to 4-5 and keeping their season alive. But nobody is confusing this one with a masterpiece. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay break down a game filled with penalties, turnovers, questionable coaching decisions, bizarre celebrations, and officiating that made an already ugly afternoon even harder to watch. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb helped keep the Cowboys offense alive, while a late touchdown from Javonte Williams and a game-sealing interception from Caleb Downs delivered the win. But the guys aren't letting Brian Schottenheimer off the hook. They question his play-calling and leadership, debate whether Dallas should trade George Pickens for defensive help, and wonder what's really going on with Joey Porter Jr.'s availability. Plus, DeMarvion Overshown runs onto the field in street clothes, the NFL referees take a beating, and Mike embraces his new Cowboys philosophy: JUST ENTERTAIN ME! Topics Covered: Cowboys beat Colts 27-23: Dallas survives a chaotic afternoon in Indianapolis and improves to 4-5, staying within reach of .500. Dak Prescott takes control: Mike and Rudy believe Dak started improvising and trusting his receivers rather than relying on Brian Schottenheimer's offensive system. Caleb Downs seals the victory: A crucial defensive stop and a late interception help Dallas escape with the win. Brian Schottenheimer's coaching under fire: Rudy says he'd remove Schottenheimer from play-calling duties despite the victory, while Mike questions the team's preparation and discipline. George Pickens trade debate: Could Dallas move Pickens before the trade deadline to strengthen its defense and give Jalen Flournoy and Jonathan Mingo bigger roles? Joey Porter Jr.'s availability: The guys debate his injury absences, upcoming contract situation, and whether Dallas can afford to keep waiting. NFL officiating and Cowboys penalties: Mike and Rudy blast the constant flags, questionable roughness calls, and a game that felt like it would never end. Cowboys vs. 49ers next week: Can Dallas build on this ugly win, or will San Francisco expose the same problems all over again? Key Moments: THE COWBOYS SURVIVE! Dallas wins 27-23 after an absolutely wild fourth quarter. The guys celebrate the victory while calling the game one of the worst they've ever watched. DeMarvion Overshown runs onto the field in street clothes! An inactive Cowboys player joins a defensive celebration and draws a penalty. Mike and Rudy cannot believe the lack of discipline. Dak Prescott goes rogue! With the Cowboys trailing late, Dak connects on a huge throw to Jalen Flournoy. A pass interference penalty helps set up Javonte Williams' go-ahead touchdown before Caleb Downs seals the game with an interception. Rudy wants Schottenheimer out of the play-calling business. Despite the win, the guys question Dallas' offensive creativity, coaching leadership, and inability to put away a struggling Colts team. They also revisit the possibility of Jason Witten joining the Cowboys coaching staff. WHO'S GOING IN THE SHED? Rudy puts Brian Schottenheimer in the Shed for his coaching and sideline confusion, while Mike nominates Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon for her headset-and-clipboard presence on the sideline. Final Thoughts: A WIN IS A WIN, BUT THE COWBOYS ARE STILL A CLOWN SHOW! Dallas is 4-5, the season isn't over, and Mike Taylor is determined to enjoy the ride instead of letting the Cowboys ruin another Sunday. Rudy Jay still has serious concerns about the coaching staff, roster decisions, and overall discipline, but the Cowboys found a way to survive. Now comes San Francisco. Will the Cowboys finally put together a complete performance, or will Mike need another round of his "Just Entertain Me" philosophy? Either way, In the Shed will be here for every ridiculous moment.

Victor Wembanyama puts up 29 points and seven rebounds in just 24 minutes as San Antonio cruises to its seventh consecutive victory. The Spurs knock down 17 three-pointers, bring relentless defensive pressure, and turn what looked like a challenging matchup into a blowout. But this episode goes way beyond the final score. Mike and Rudy discuss Wemby's MVP and Defensive Player of the Year potential, the growing chemistry between De'Aaron Fox and Wembanyama, and why Devin Vassell deserves more appreciation. Plus, the guys debate Mitch Johnson's rotations, call for more minutes for Tarris Reed Jr., challenge Carter Bryant to keep developing, and explain why the Spurs' commitment to defense makes them different from so many NBA teams. Topics Covered: Spurs dominate Portland 125-103: San Antonio wins its seventh straight game behind outstanding defense and 17 made three-pointers. Victor Wembanyama becomes "Victor Chamberlain": Wemby scores 29 points on just 13 field goal attempts, shooting 9-of-13 from the floor and 3-of-6 from deep. Wemby's MVP case: Mike and Rudy discuss his historic production, shot selection, dunk totals, defensive impact, and potential to win multiple major NBA awards. De'Aaron Fox and Wembanyama chemistry: The pick-and-roll connection is becoming one of San Antonio's most dangerous offensive weapons. Spurs defense is different: Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox, and Wembanyama bring the kind of relentless defensive pressure that frustrates opponents. Devin Vassell embraces his role: Rudy praises Vassell's defense, movement without the ball, spacing, and willingness to put the team first. Mitch Johnson's rotation decisions: The guys question Luke Kornet's minutes and argue that Tarris Reed Jr. deserves more opportunities. Carter Bryant's development: Mike and Rudy recognize the rookie's flashes while challenging him to play with more confidence and make quicker decisions. Key Moments: VICTOR CHAMBERLAIN strikes again! Wembanyama scores 29 points in only 24 minutes, becoming the first player that season to reach that scoring mark in fewer than 25 minutes, according to the statistic discussed on the show. The Spurs make defense entertaining. Mike and Rudy rave about San Antonio's communication, rotations, effort, and willingness to pressure opponents all over the court. They believe the Spurs' defensive intensity is a major reason teams struggle against them. Fox-to-Wemby is becoming automatic. The guys explain why De'Aaron Fox's ability to create easy baskets for Wembanyama makes the Spurs' offense so dangerous. Rudy compares Fox's approach to Chris Paul's willingness to run the show and set up teammates. Mike and Rudy want more Tarris Reed Jr. The debate over Luke Kornet's playing time continues as the hosts argue Reed brings the energy and physicality San Antonio needs. Carter Bryant also gets some tough love about his development. Is Wemby already the NBA MVP favorite? Mike and Rudy discuss Wembanyama's historic combination of scoring, shot-blocking, dunks, and defensive dominance. They also praise his body maintenance while questioning whether his shoes provide enough support. Final Thoughts: The San Antonio Spurs aren't just winning basketball games. They're making opponents miserable! With Victor Wembanyama dominating the paint, De'Aaron Fox running the offense, Devin Vassell embracing his role, and the entire roster buying into defense, Mike and Rudy see a team with serious potential. There are still questions about rotations and young-player development, but seven straight wins have Spurs fans feeling pretty damn good. And if Wemby keeps playing like Victor Chamberlain, the rest of the NBA better figure something out.

After Victor Wembanyama's unbelievable 52-point, 24-rebound performance in the San Antonio Spurs' 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the guys break down the three-guard lineup, the struggles when Wemby sits, and whether Mitch Johnson needs to rethink his rotations.

Wemby gets the Wilt Chamberlain treatment. The guys revisit his historic night against Dallas and explain why attacking the paint instead of settling for three-pointers makes the Spurs nearly impossible to defend.

WEMBY GOES NUCLEAR! 52 POINTS, 24 REBOUNDS! SPURS BEAT MAVS 112-111 | In the Building Post-Game Show
Victor Wembanyama just delivered one of the most ridiculous performances in San Antonio Spurs history, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are losing their minds! Wemby finishes with 52 points and 24 rebounds, putting up numbers the guys compare to Wilt Chamberlain while carrying the Spurs to a dramatic 112-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Kyrie Irving misses the potential game-winner, and San Antonio escapes with its sixth straight victory. But this wasn't all sunshine and celebrations. The Spurs shot an ugly 5-for-36 from three-point range, struggled to maintain their lead, and needed practically everything Wemby had to survive. Mike and Rudy question Luke Kornet's minutes, Mitch Johnson's rotations, the lack of production from the bench, and whether San Antonio needs to get Reed more involved. Plus, Stephon Castle's shooting slump, Dylan Harper's impressive play, and why this Spurs team could be nearly impossible to beat when Wemby dominates the paint. Topics Covered: Victor Wembanyama's historic night: 52 points, 24 rebounds, and a performance compared to Wilt Chamberlain. Spurs defeat Mavericks 112-111: Kyrie Irving misses the final shot as San Antonio survives a wild finish. Wemby's dominance in the paint: Why Mike and Rudy want him attacking the basket instead of settling for perimeter shots. Spurs' three-point shooting disaster: San Antonio goes 5-for-36 from deep and still finds a way to win. Luke Kornet and Mitch Johnson under fire: Rudy questions Kornet's minus-22 performance and the coaching staff's rotation decisions. Stephon Castle's shooting struggles: Castle can't find his shot but contributes 10 rebounds and strong defense. Dylan Harper continues to impress: The rookie's athleticism, energy, and spectacular alley-oop get the guys fired up. Spurs bench and playoff concerns: Reed's lack of minutes, Carter Bryant's absence from the rotation, Tobias Harris' potential role, and whether the Spurs have enough depth behind Wemby. Key Moments: Wemby puts up 52 and 24! Mike and Rudy struggle to find words for a performance they compare to Wilt Chamberlain, especially with Wemby doing it in just 34 minutes. Kyrie Irving nearly breaks Spurs fans' hearts. Dallas gets a chance to steal the game, but Kyrie's final shot rims out and San Antonio hangs on. Rudy goes off on Luke Kornet's minutes. A minus-22 performance has Rudy questioning why Mitch Johnson continues to use him instead of giving Reed an opportunity. The Spurs survive a brutal shooting night. San Antonio hits just five of 36 three-point attempts, making Wemby's dominance even more important. Mike and Rudy debate the bigger picture. Castle's shooting, Harper's development, the struggling bench, and the need for better frontcourt depth all come up despite the victory. Final Thoughts: 52 points. 24 rebounds. A one-point win. And somehow, Spurs fans still have complaints! That's what happens when expectations are rising in San Antonio. Wembanyama looks like an unstoppable force when he attacks the paint, but Mike and Rudy know the Spurs can't expect him to deliver a historic performance every night. The winning streak is alive, the Mavericks go home with an L, and the conversation about San Antonio's championship potential is only getting louder.

The guys discuss the political shakeup in Texas, what it means for moderate voters, and why winning an election is only the beginning. There's plenty of celebrating, plenty of skepticism, and a passionate argument for politicians to stop fighting each other and start working for everyday Americans. Then it's back to sports, where Mike wants to know why Dak Prescott hasn't stepped up and challenged the Dallas Cowboys' leadership. Brian Schottenheimer gets absolutely roasted for his coaching, play-calling, and questionable leadership, while the guys debate whether Dak has become too comfortable being Jerry Jones' company man.

Miami opens at No. 1 in the rankings discussed, but Georgia draws attention as a national title favorite on Kalshi. Adam Silver's 40-minute NBA idea gets mixed reactions. Mike and Rudy are open to shorter games, but Rudy questions whether Silver is doing too much to accommodate players.
