Bussin' With The Boys

Will Compton and Taylor Lewan have a legendary guest this week with National Champion Coach, Ed Orgeron. Coach O hops on the bus and this one gets electric real fast. The boys dive into Coach O’s life, wild coaching stories, recruiting chaos, LSU memories, The Rock, Snoop Dogg, Adrian Peterson, and the legendary run with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and LSU’s 2019 team.

Coach O talks about the grind, the setbacks, what shaped him as a man, and whether he wants to be a head coach again in college football. There’s wisdom, chaos, locker room energy, and some of the funniest stories ever told on the pod.

If you love football, leadership, recruiting stories, and SEC culture… this one’s for you.
Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses

Will Compton and Taylor Lewan recap a wild Week 14 of the NFL with NFL legend and FOX analyst Greg Olsen.

The Boys dive into everything happening around the league, starting with the Kansas City Chiefs losing again and why they will miss the playoffs. They break down Travis Kelce’s costly drop that led to Patrick Mahomes’ three interceptions and talk about why the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen might not be built for the regular season… but are built for the postseason.

Greg Olsen joins the debate on analytics vs. momentum, and the crew recaps the biggest stories and games from Week 14 across the NFL.

Then The Boys shift to the College Football Playoff, reacting to the final bracket and the chaos surrounding it: Notre Dame getting in over Miami, Alabama not dropping after losing to Georgia. Will and Taylor recap calling the SEC Championship for ESPN’s Alt Cast with Josh Pate and Harry Douglas. They also talk about how to fix the CFP — including removing G5 teams and ensuring the 12 best teams always make the field

They wrap up with a discussion on Fernando Mendoza vs. Diego Pavia and who should take home the Heisman Trophy.

On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys were joined by Nashville legend and comedian Nate Bargatze — and things get rolling quick.

Nate looks back on some of the questionable jobs he had growing up (including one so bad it ended up on Dirty Jobs). From there, the boys dive into his comedy journey — starting in Chicago before making the leap to New York, grinding through the chaos of thousands of comedians trying to find stage time, and figuring out his voice in one of the toughest comedy scenes in the world.

Nate shares stories about early run-ins with other comics (including getting roasted by Louis CK after a set), how he bounced back, and the advice he now gives younger comedians coming up behind him.

The boys close it out talking about why Nate chose the clean-comedian route, his decision to stop drinking, and — somehow — how good Scientology is at recruiting people.

Nate is truly one of the boys and tells some unreal stories you don’t want to miss.

Enjoy, fellas.

Recorded: December 3rd 2025 | Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Bus. We are back after missing last week for the holidays so we decided to recap what each guy did over their break. Jack went to Atlanta, Coop went home to Texas, G hit the lake, JP went home and unfortunately saw South Carolina lose and Mitch went to Taylors. Mitch also gets into how he got suspended from his flag football league, let us know in the comments if you think the suspension is justified. After the boys recap their breaks, each of the guys run through their Spotify Wrapped, except Matt because he has Apple Music. Enjoy the Friday hang with the boys and as always, much love.
