On this football recap, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan link up with NFL legend and FOX analyst Greg Olsen to break down another loaded week across the league. The boys open with the analytics behind the Bears–Eagles two-point decision and why the numbers sparked debate across NFL circles. They move into Panthers–Rams before taking a full lap around the NFC East and asking the big question: can the Cowboys actually win the division? They also dive into the NFC North race, hit the AFC South battles shaping the playoff picture, and close with Miami’s headline storyline — should the Dolphins stay committed to Mike McDaniel?  Plus in our college portion, Taylor breaks down Ohio State’s exorcism of Michigan with Ohio State Head Coach, Ryan Day, the boys recap Lane Kiffin’s bolt from Ole Miss to LSU for $100M, Pate calls Florida’s Jon Sumrall hire a near catastrophic miss if Auburn didn’t land Alex Golesh. The crew then maps out absolute CFP Armageddon—BYU stealing the Big 12 auto-bid, five-loss Duke somehow winning the ACC, Bama beating Georgia and sparking a three-loss runner-up debate that could boot half the SEC while a G5 like Tulane sneaks in. Heisman talk gets spicy (Julian Sayin, Diego Pavia, and Indiana’s zero-pick rocket Fernando Mendoza). With the college football landscape being so chaotic The Boys are here to make sense of it all.   Timestamp Chapters: 0:00 Open 1:30 Analytics In The Bears v Eagles 40:55 Panthers v Rams 44:00 NFC East 53:20 NFC North 58:45 AFC South 1:09:00 Do The Dolphins Keep McDaniels? 1:13:25 College Football Begins 1:14:58 Josh Did Taylor Wrong 1:21:33 Michigan v Ohio State 1:26:43 Should We Be Done With Conference Championship Games? 1:49:08 Lane Kiffin To LSU 2:07:18 Auburn Fumbled John Sumrall 2:13:15 Taylor Apologizes To Coach Day 2:14:50 Big 10 Championship Game 2:17:35 Hiring Matt Patricia 2:20:35 Elevating Brian Hartline 2:22:35 Julian Saying For Heisman 2:26:20 Initial Emotion After Winning 2:39:05 Nebraska v Iowa See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recorded: June 16th, 2025 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys sat down with one of the most electric quarterbacks in college football — Diego Pavia. Pavia shared his wild journey from being a standout wrestler in high school to calling his own plays at New Mexico State and leading the Aggies to a historic upset win over Auburn. Diego opened up about being overlooked as a recruit, how he maximized his time at NMSU, and what the transition has been like moving into the SEC at Vanderbilt. He broke down the behind-the-scenes story of the Commodores’ shocking upset over No. 1 Alabama and what that win meant for the program. The conversation also hit on whether he considered entering the transfer portal again, the expectations for his first full SEC season, and just how much Coach Jerry Kill impacted his entire football journey. And of course — Diego doubled down on his belief that Vanderbilt would run Tennessee this year and even said the Commodores could make the College Football Playoff. It was bold, hilarious, and absolutely peak Diego. It’s the kind of interview that makes you root for the dude. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recorded: November 24, 2025 Former NFL linebacker Will Compton and former left tackle Taylor Lewan sit down in the back of the bus for a full Thanksgiving preview packed with football talk, drama, and plenty to be thankful for. The Boys break down what’s been going on inside the bus — including Taylor’s battle with gout, his potential all-veggie Thanksgiving diet, and how he’s fighting through it one step at a time. Bussin’ Head of Social Media Jack McPherson exposes a growing darkness inside the shop: an office troll. Producer Jeremy Klump is forced to defend his honor in a trial by combat, facing accusations of the ultimate thanksgiving-season crime — being a fraudulent football fan. Will and Taylor also question Clay Matthews’ Locker Room picks, leading into a fired-up Tier Talk ranking the best holiday drinks and brews. Then producer JP Hovey jumps into the mix, calling out Will Compton for allegedly lying about watching movies and shows, sparking yet another showdown on the bus.

On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys were joined by the one and only Leonard “Playoff Lenny” Fournette for what turned into one of the funniest and most chaotic pods ever recorded on the bus. But it wasn’t all laughs — Lenny opened up about real moments from his NFL journey, giving us one of the most well-rounded, entertaining episodes of that year. The Fournette interview kicked off with Lenny immediately revisiting his infamous fight with Jeffery Simmons at Titans practice, explaining exactly what went down. He then addressed the offseason weight rumors before diving into the unmatched football talent pipeline that comes out of New Orleans. Lenny opened up about getting cut from Jacksonville, shared what it was like asking for his release from Tampa Bay, and even gave an update on Tom Brady — all while sprinkling in some wild LSU fight stories from back in the day. Things got even funnier during Tier Talk as the Boys debated the best fast-food breakfasts, and Lenny wrapped up the episode by discussing his friendship with Antonio Brown and answering the age-old question: was he a better college running back than Derrick Henry? Big hugs, tiny kisses — this one was an all-timer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
