Recorded: January 5th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan interview new head coach of Michigan football, Kyle Whittingham, and 2x Pro Bowl safety for the Chicago Bears, Kevin Byard! The boys kick things off previewing Jarod Beeman's standup show, and a roundtable of New Year’s resolutions—including Jack McPherson, Mitch’s new diet, JP committing to a book a month, Taylor reading more, writing more, and goals around getting to bed earlier, giving back, and being more charitable. There’s plenty of classic Bussin’ banter along the way, including gout talk, fandom debates, Mr. Beast crossing into college football, and Taylor’s Uber Eats pet peeve. From there, the show transitions into a sit-down with Kyle Whittingham, who opens up about the move from Utah to Michigan, navigating the modern NIL era, and what it takes to build culture at a new program. Whittingham clears up retirement rumors, reflects on his time at Utah with no regrets, breaks down expectations for Michigan’s offense and defense, and shares thoughts on meeting the team during bowl season, adopting Michigan’s iconic blue, staying off the internet, motorcycles, skiing with players, and an incredible 6,500-day workout streak. Taylor and Will close out the interview with a debrief on what stood out from the conversation. Later in the episode, Kevin Byard joins the show to preview Bears vs. Packers and talk through leadership in Chicago, starting slow amid outside noise, adapting to a new team, and what makes the Green Bay rivalry different. KB dives into game planning, defensive details, NIL hypotheticals, money vs. program culture, SEC vs. Big Ten debates, Ben Johnson vs. Mike Vrabel philosophies, Caleb Williams, and when he truly bought into the Bears’ locker room. The episode wraps with more Bussin chaos, clean takes, and a Stranger Things finale discussion to send it home. Big Hugs.Tiny Kisses.

Recorded Feb 10, 2021 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, we kick it back to Episode 85 of Bussin’ With The Boys, when The Boys welcomed Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson onto the bus for an absolute classic. To kick things off, Chad talked about what brought him to Nashville, Will revisited all the tweets he had sent Ocho over the years, and the boys looked back on some of Chad’s favorite trash talk moments from his NFL career. Chad then broke down how he played on “All-Madden” throughout his entire career, shared his thoughts on the top wide receivers in the league at the time, and even hinted that he might still have one NFL season left in him.

To close things out, Chad addressed some early-career rumors, reflected on what it was like playing for the New England Patriots, and talked about a few media projects he was working on at the time.
