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!

With the Masters Tournament being this weekend, we decided to give you guys the only golfer we have had on the show. Everyone enjoy their weekend and enjoy a trip down memory lane with this episode.

Max Homa joined the pod while the boys were out in Arizona. Max talks about what life is like as a golfer on the PGA Tour. Homa tells the boys what the Waste Management Open is really like from the perspective of player. He tells some crazy stories and how he thinks the tournament is actually good for golf. After tournament talk, Max dives into how he got into golf and things that could/should be changed to make the "sport" more appealing to the younger generation. The Boys may be the good luck charm for Max as he just finished 2nd in the following tournament. Enjoy.

Welcome back to another very special episode of Inside The Bus. This week we have Mitch's younger brother, Nate, join the fellas on the pod. Nate gets into what it was like growing with Mitch as an older brother and some of fights they had growing up. As you can tell by just looking at them, Mitch and Nate are pretty different people when it comes to their interests and such. The boys fire some questions to Nate and Mitch to get each of their sides on having each other as siblings. All in all, this episode is another great Friday hang getting to know more about the Carsley kids. Enjoy and as always, much love.
