Bussin' With The Boys

Recorded: November 03, 2025

Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome College Baseball powerhouse Tony Vitello, former head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and now the new manager of the San Francisco Giants!

Taylor Lewan kicks off the pod by further apologizing for his Spooktober showing. However Will Compton presses him to a point that Taylor defends his title as the king of Spooktober. The boys then recap their Halloweens with the family, sharing stories of trick-or-treating with their kids and the best costumes they saw over the weekend. Followed by Taylor fighting for his life on the bus explaining his battle with gout.

Afterward Vitello hops on the pod and gives the boys an incredible interview. Renowned for his fiery intensity, innovative culture, and championship run, Tony Vitello will now look to translate his skills to the MLB. Tony opens up about his leadership style and team culture building, as well as a few recruiting secrets, game-day rituals (including the infamous leopard-print fur coat for home runs), and how he builds a winning mindset from the ground up. Along the way: light-hearted stories, locker room moments, and unexpected insights into what it takes to win at the highest level of college baseball and what it will take to win a World Series after what we all just witnessed between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.

Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses!

The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, are back for another loaded Monday football recap on Bussin’ With The Boys. This week they break down one of the wildest slates of the season: Nebraska vs. USC, Michigan vs. Purdue, Georgia–Florida SEC drama, and Oklahoma–Tennessee firing up fan bases. Taylor also battles gout like a true warrior as college football heats up.

Greg Olsen hops on the bus to break down the biggest NFL storylines — Panthers–Packers, Chiefs–Bills, and why the run game still matters in today’s league. The Boys chop it up on offensive evolution, front office moves, and the Dolphins firing their GM but sticking with their head coach.

To wrap, they hit the rest of the NFL slate — Colts–Steelers, Broncos–Texans, Bears–Bengals, and Vikings–Lions — plus Spencer Rattler getting benched, South Carolina firing its offensive coordinator, and the ACC falling apart in real time. Buckle up. Big hugs, tiny kisses.

Recorded: February 6th, 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys were joined by NFL Hall of Famer — and arguably the greatest defensive player in college football history — Charles Woodson. The guys kicked things off by talking about Michigan winning the national championship, then dove into Charles’ legendary run at Michigan and the stories that came with it, including a few moments where he butted heads with coaches.

Of course, when you have the only defensive player to ever win the Heisman on the bus, The Boys had to relive that iconic moment and what it meant to him. After the college talk, the conversation shifted to his incredible NFL career with the Raiders and Packers. Charles shared stories from both stops, including the surprising moment he nearly hung up the cleats earlier than anyone knew.

This one was a true trip down memory lane — just talking ball with one of the best to ever do it.

Big hugs, tiny kisses.

He talks about the podcasts that he had himself and his crazy workload, the blogs that he has written and the hilarious one that he sent to the boys. We get into the different tiers of fandom at the bus and Derrik ends the pod off sharing a list he's been working on his whole life. Sportscenter can take a back seat to Derrik's list of best beer.
