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.
