Episode Details

In The Building debuts from the brand-new Texas Cheer Liquor Studios, and the new setup comes with the same old chaos. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay open the show joking about moving, studio life, and Mike immediately regretting wearing shorts on camera before shifting into the latest Spurs offseason drama. With the Finals barely in the rearview, the conversation quickly turns toward the growing tension surrounding De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and what the Spurs’ future backcourt should actually look like.

The biggest topic centers on reports from Michael C. Wright suggesting the Spurs remain committed to De’Aaron Fox as their starting point guard, while Dylan Harper’s camp is reportedly pushing for Harper to start next season. Mike and Rudy unpack what that means for Spurs culture, whether the organization should prioritize hierarchy or talent, and why Harper’s rapid rise may have accelerated tough roster decisions. The guys also branch out into World Cup energy, WNBA discourse, Floyd Mayweather talk, and broader conversations about modern sports culture, all with the classic ITB mix of strong opinions and humor.
