Will Compton and Taylor Lewan bring the juice on this week's Bussin’ With The Boys. The guys are back with a packed episode and a killer sit-down with Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. Before Diego hops on, the boys chop it up about the newly-dropped Dad Combine vlog courtesy of Bussin' Legend, JP Hovey, how Father’s Day weekend went, and their reactions to what’s been going down in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. There’s also some solid back-and-forth about Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule going viral this past weekend, Josh Pate throwing strays at the back of the bus, and a preview of Tight End U coming up. They even touch on Paul Craig's wild kick, some Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese chatter, and give a nod to birthday boy Mitch before we hop into the interview.

Once Diego joins, it’s all uphill in the best way. The guy’s got a story — from being a legit wrestler back in the day to calling his own plays in-game and leading New Mexico State to a historic win over Auburn. He talks about being overlooked coming out of high school, how he made the most of his time at NMSU, and what it’s been like transitioning to college football in the SEC at Vanderbilt. Diego then tells the behind the scenes story of the Alabama game and what it was like to upset the #1 team in the nation. The convo dives into whether he thought about entering the transfer portal again, expectations for this season, and how much Jerry Kill meant to his journey. It’s the kind of interview that makes you root for the dude, plain and simple.

Zach also talks about meeting legends like George Strait and Alan Jackson.

On the lighter side, the boys dive into pre-show rituals, life on the road, a potential future Beer Olympics appearance, and Zach’s close-knit relationship with his bandmates. In Ro Spicy Tier Talk, they break down the best love songs of all time. Plus, Zach responds to the Bud Light "What Would You Do Anything For?" challenge and teases what’s next—could a new album be dropping soon?

Will Compton & Taylor Lewan are back with NFL vet, Super Bowl champ, and Notre Dame legend Golden Tate. From high school star in Tennessee to Biletnikoff winner to a 10+ year NFL career with the Seahawks, Lions, Eagles, Giants, and Titans, Golden Tate hops on the bus and takes us through a ton of the behind the scenes drama he encountered in the league.

The Bussin' Bowl is BACK! Will and Taylor give their takes on the impending Nebraska vs. Michigan game and set their official odds of who they think will win. Summer interns are also in the house!

After the intro Will and Taylor dive into the Golden Tate interview. Tate opens up about his path to the league, nearly choosing baseball over football, and what it was like playing with legends like Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, and Eli Manning. Things get spicy as he breaks down his infamous beefs with Jalen Ramsey and Percy Harvin—including that locker room fight before the Super Bowl.

Golden also shares his thoughts on the current state of the Seahawks with Sam Darnold and Jalen Milroe, playing for four different teams, and what it was like being a part of that dominant Legion of Boom era with teammates like Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Earl Thomas. The boys dive into old Notre Dame stories, and even his return to baseball years after retiring from the NFL.

Will Compton and Taylor Lewan hope everyone had a Happy Memorial Day Weekend. To help end it on a high note, they invited Tennessee Titans left guard JC Latham on the bus! Will and Taylor kick things off by addressing Theo Von's kind words about Bussin' with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. They also react to Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's smack talking for the Nebraska vs Cincinnati game, which leads The Boys to break down the new College Football Playoff format, the return of the infamous “Tush Push,” and a sneak peek at the upcoming Dad Combine. Plus, they introduce their new interns, preview this year’s Father’s Day merch drop, and react to New Heights throwing some shade.

Then Will and Taylor dive into a monster sit-down with Titans first-round pick JC Latham. From his early days at IMG and choosing Alabama, to raw stories from Kalen DeBoer’s Bama locker room, JC opens up about being part of the first year of NIL, adapting to the NFL, and what it’s really like working with legendary offensive line coach Bill Callahan. He talks about playing against Will Anderson Jr., the transition from left tackle to right tackle, and even responds to rumors about his 40-yard dash time. The guys also hit on Titans’ struggles, Will Levis’ development, expectations for Cam Ward, and how the NFL culture compares to college football.

As always, things get weird in the best way—bio hacking, fan questions, and a Bud Light “What Would You Do Anything For?” moment all make an appearance. It's an all-time episode for football junkies and dads alike.

Big Hugs, and Tiny Kisses y'all!

The wait is over! Arguably the greatest tight end in NFL history, Gronk is officially on the bus. In one of the most anticipated episodes of Bussin’ With The Boys, Rob Gronkowski pulls up for a full-send, no-holds-barred sit-down interview with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan—and it’s everything you’d hope for. From his hockey roots and college football days at Arizona to wild NFL draft stories, Super Bowl memories, and of course, partying like only Gronk can—this one is absolutely electric.

Things heat up as Gronk gives an unfiltered look at the Patriots dynasty—how intense it really was in New England, what it meant to be “Tom’s guy,” and why he genuinely loved blocking more than receiving. He breaks down life with Aaron Hernandez, what Bill Belichick is like off the field, and the truth about the Brady-Belichick breakup that sent Tom to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and ended with Bill taking over at UNC.

But it wouldn’t be a Gronk episode without some wild moments. He nearly got traded to the Lions, has more cameos than any man alive, and somehow never touched his NFL salary after entering the league. Add in some spicy Tier Talk and closing thoughts on life after football—plus a legendary Steve Harvey LEGO head spike—and you’ve got one for the record books.

A certified Tier 1 banger. Gronk, The Boys, and absolute chaos.

In this can't-miss episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, NFL legend Clay Matthews hops on the bus with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. Clay recounts his viral 2025 NFL Draft prank, where he took the stage in Green Bay and delivered a playful jab at the Chicago Bears, setting social media ablaze and cementing his reputation as a master troll.

The boys dive into his memorable on-field moments, including the time former Panthers QB Cam Newton famously called out Clay mid-game for being too obvious with his film study, and how that exchange became instant NFL lore. Clay also shares his perspective on Shedeur Sanders’s surprising slide in the draft, offering insight into the pressures and unpredictability of draft night. The boys break down rookie camp film of Cam Ward and his public appearance with the Savannah Bananas.

Rounding out the episode, the crew debates their divisional winners for the upcoming NFL season and gets real about the toll football takes on the body, with Clay opening up about his ongoing battle with a bad back.

Recorded: May 7th 2025 | To celebrate Mother’s Day, we’re dropping a bonus episode. Will Compton sat down with his wife, Charo Compton, to talk through the raw, emotional, and honest journey that brought them to parenthood — through IVF.

From the moment they realized getting pregnant wouldn’t be easy, to the hormone shots, the heartbreaks, the hope, and finally holding their second daughter — this conversation dives into the real highs and lows that so many couples go through in silence.

They talk about how IVF impacted their marriage, what it taught them about patience, communication, and showing up for each other when nothing feels certain.

This episode is for the couples still in the thick of it, the moms who fought to become moms, and anyone who’s ever had to battle for their family.

You’re not alone — and you’re stronger than you think.
