Bussin' With The Boys

In this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down at Notre Dame for an electric interview with head coach Marcus Freeman and quarterback CJ Carr. The boys kick things off with an epic intro as Taylor Lewan deep dives into his ‘Game Of Thrones’ watching experience and opens up about not wanting to be known as a liar. Will Compton also asks the age old question, “is Rory McIlroy the GOAT of golf?” plus the boys share BTS stories from their time at Notre Dame.

 

The interview dives into CJ Carr’s journey growing up in a competitive football family, choosing Notre Dame, and the mental toughness it takes to handle pressure at the highest level. Coach Marcus Freeman opens up about building a winning culture, handling adversity, and why discipline and accountability separate great teams from the rest. The group also gets into modern college football, from the transfer portal to keeping the locker room tight, while sharing stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

 

As always, the conversation doesn’t stay serious for long. The boys mix in hilarious stories about music taste debates, recruiting visits gone wrong, barbershop routines, and locker room traditions. From trash talk at Coach Freeman’s house to life after football, this episode has everything—football IQ, culture talk, and nonstop laughs.

 

Big Hugs & Some Tiny Ahhh kisses, cuh!

Max Homa joined the pod while the boys were out in Arizona. Max talks about what life is like as a golfer on the PGA Tour. Homa tells the boys what the Waste Management Open is really like from the perspective of player. He tells some crazy stories and how he thinks the tournament is actually good for golf. After tournament talk, Max dives into how he got into golf and things that could/should be changed to make the "sport" more appealing to the younger generation. The Boys may be the good luck charm for Max as he just finished 2nd in the following tournament. Enjoy.

For The Dads is for every guy who needs a place to talk, vent, and laugh about all the insane, hilarious, and chaotic sh** (sometimes literal) that comes with being a dad. 

Hosted by Will Compton–NFL Vet, creator of Bussin' With the Boys, and proud dad of two. This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing.

Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world.

Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way.
