SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-SIX | In the Building | EP. 666

WELCOME TO EPISODE 666! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay have officially reached the number of the beast, and In the Building is embracing the Halloween madness! We're talking hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, the fear of the number 666, the history behind the number of the beast, classic horror movies, and some truly outrageous Halloween costumes from the guys' past. Mike and Rudy share old Halloween photos, revisit some questionable costume decisions, and get into black metal, haunted vibes, and the kind of conversations that could only happen on In the Building. BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF SPORTS CHAOS TOO! Jerry Jones says the Dallas Cowboys will be BUYERS, not sellers, at the NFL trade deadline. The guys discuss possible defensive additions, including Josh Sweat and Maxx Crosby, and whether Jerry will actually make a move. The NBA season is underway, and the guys are already enjoying the trash talk. From Luka Doncic and the Lakers to Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, there's plenty to discuss. And Shaquille O'Neal has officially given the Lakers a new identity: SNOWTIME! Plus, Airbnb gets a rare Reach Around, the NFL Survivor Pool is back, and Mike brings some wild American history facts as the United States celebrates 250 years.
