Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back for a wild Monday episode of Bussin’ With The Boys — and this one has EVERYTHING. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt Heisman hopeful, his loyal guard dog and former Bussin' intern Cade McConnell, and last but not least small cameos from Theo Von and Shane Gillis. The Boys open with reacting to the latest storylines heating up across college football, and recap a Thanksgiving weekend that got way spicier than expected.

From there, things go full gooner mode with the True Classic Gooner of the Month before the bus doors swing open for Diego Pavia and Cade McConnell, one of the most electric quarterbacks in the country and his right hand man. Cade talks about interning with The Boys, Diego discusses calling his shot against Tennessee on-air, and the guys dive into recruiting, leadership, and why Vanderbilt genuinely believes they deserve a shot at the College Football Playoff.

Shane Gillis even calls in for a surprise moment, Theo Von hops on later in the show, and Diego Pavia officially launches his Heisman campaign on the bus. The Boys also break down Joe Moore Award semifinalists, coaching rumors, comparisons for Lane Kiffin’s move from Ole Miss to LSU, bowl game decisions, and what offseason combine training looks like for elite QBs.

If you love college football, chaos, comedy, and dudes being dudes... this episode is LOADED.

Big Hugs and Tiny Kisses!

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.

Will Compton Suffers From Falconia & an ELITE Dad Hack To Get The Kiddo To Take  A Picture | For The Dads

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b416b26f-8f31-4be5-b922-b3a70155069f/transcript

On this football recap, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan link up with NFL legend and FOX analyst Greg Olsen to break down another loaded week across the league. The boys open with the analytics behind the Bears–Eagles two-point decision and why the numbers sparked debate across NFL circles. They move into Panthers–Rams before taking a full lap around the NFC East and asking the big question: can the Cowboys actually win the division?

They also dive into the NFC North race, hit the AFC South battles shaping the playoff picture, and close with Miami’s headline storyline — should the Dolphins stay committed to Mike McDaniel? 

Plus in our college portion, Taylor breaks down Ohio State’s exorcism of Michigan with Ohio State Head Coach, Ryan Day, the boys recap Lane Kiffin’s bolt from Ole Miss to LSU for $100M, Pate calls Florida’s Jon Sumrall hire a near catastrophic miss if Auburn didn’t land Alex Golesh. The crew then maps out absolute CFP Armageddon—BYU stealing the Big 12 auto-bid, five-loss Duke somehow winning the ACC, Bama beating Georgia and sparking a three-loss runner-up debate that could boot half the SEC while a G5 like Tulane sneaks in. Heisman talk gets spicy (Julian Sayin, Diego Pavia, and Indiana’s zero-pick rocket Fernando Mendoza). With the college football landscape being so chaotic The Boys are here to make sense of it all.

Recorded: June 16th, 2025 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys sat down with one of the most electric quarterbacks in college football — Diego Pavia. Pavia shared his wild journey from being a standout wrestler in high school to calling his own plays at New Mexico State and leading the Aggies to a historic upset win over Auburn.

Diego opened up about being overlooked as a recruit, how he maximized his time at NMSU, and what the transition has been like moving into the SEC at Vanderbilt. He broke down the behind-the-scenes story of the Commodores’ shocking upset over No. 1 Alabama and what that win meant for the program. The conversation also hit on whether he considered entering the transfer portal again, the expectations for his first full SEC season, and just how much Coach Jerry Kill impacted his entire football journey.

And of course — Diego doubled down on his belief that Vanderbilt would run Tennessee this year and even said the Commodores could make the College Football Playoff. It was bold, hilarious, and absolutely peak Diego.

It’s the kind of interview that makes you root for the dude. Enjoy.
