Marcus Freeman on Playoff Heartbreak, NFL Coaching Rumors + CJ Carr's Breakout Year | Bussin' Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

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!

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.

Lavonte David Opens Up About Retiring From The NFL + What's Next For Him? | Bussin' With The Boys Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

Taylor Lewan and Will Compton are back with another STACKED episode of Bussin' With The Boys! This week's guest is Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend and one of the greatest linebackers to ever do it, Lavonte David. In the intro, Will and Lavonte discuss golf, fishing and favorite TV shows. Will announces Bussin’s upcoming spring tour dates hitting Texas Tech, Miami, and Notre Dame. Lavonte may even show up to Miami to kick it with the boys when they’re there.

Lavonte David’s interview begins with Will listing off all of his accolades, only to then try to bully Lavonte into admitting he was Will's little bro during their time together playing college football at Nebraska. Lavonte is NOT buying it and the argument gets heated. Carolina Panthers legend Luke Kuechly FaceTimes in to settle the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year debate once and for all, and the results might surprise you. Lavonte then calls Will out for never having a signed Willy C jersey from him, which is honestly criminal. Lavonte opens up about the moment he found out Tom Brady was coming to Tampa, what it was really like playing with Gronk, and how the locker room changed overnight when TB12 walked through the door. This episode has everything — beef, FaceTime ambushes, Super Bowl stories, and Harry Potter drama.
