CJ Stroud On His Early Success In The NFL + Will Compton Says Michigan Deserves The Death Penalty

Recorded: October 23rd 2023 | On this weeks episode the boys run through the the wild NFL weekend that was. They go through the good, the bad, the ugly. Some of the good the boys touch on involves AJ Brown going off for 5 straight weeks and the Eagles dismantling the Dolphins on Sunday Night football. Some of the bad is the Bills dropping 2 in a row and the refs absolutely screwing over Iowa with that fair catch call. You'll have to tune in and see what the ugly is.
Following the weekend recap the boys have stud rookie quarterback for the Texans, CJ Stroud, zoom into the show. The guys immediately get into how CJ has had so much success already as a rookie and what has helped him achieve that early success. Taylor then, in Taylor fashion, gives CJ some flack for playing at Ohio State and CJ took it gracefully and didn't have much to say back given he never beat them. Finally the boys end off their time with CJ asking him about his shittiest moment as a rookie so far and a spooktober themed Tier Talk. CJ is just another one of the guys and we can't wait to have him on the bus in the offseason. Enjoy fellas.

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.
And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.

As a Texans fan, and after going through the Deshaun situation, it's a blessing to have CJ Stroud has our QB. CJ makes the city feel like anything is possible again. Sundays are fun again...I'm excited and grateful to be on this journey with him!

[@jakekarpati8567]

As a buckeye fan you are welcome. you could have Bryce young..

[@anthonyvieyra2099]

fr bro. texans fan too. i remember this whole shit. started w osweiler, then tom savage then to Deshaun, his whole situation happened then Mills came in, it’s just a breath of fresh air. feels so good.

[@Fastbeeezy]

@@anthonyvieyra2099till your organization throws it away like they always do

[@anthonyvieyra2099]

@@Fastbeeezy we’ll see. i don’t even remember asking lmao

[@Fastbeeezy]

@@anthonyvieyra2099 don’t trip, I know the truth hurts….🤡 enjoy being mediocre

[@coryg4665]

Hysterical when Taylor in the nicest way said CJ needed to stop being boring. They did manage to open him up and I thought you got to see some of that personality. Great job.

[@AbigailRTeh]

CJ is really hysterical funny when he gets comfortable.

[@aaronbishop6476]

He’s unapologetically himself. Leave CJ alone.

[@coryg4665]

Nah he is a real personable guy. You can just tell he had his guard up until he got called out for it lol @@aaronbishop6476

[@jacob2555]

CJ is that dude. He’s going to be great for years to come. And if you learn where he comes from and what he’s been through you can see where his mindset comes from. Great man great leader

[@sudukemsn]

CJ is mature beyond his years!

[@ManWithNoName011]

Yall need to get Travis Bagent(Tyson’s dad) on the pod. The dude is absolutely electric. I’ve been watching him online for some years now and he’s always on. It’s fantastic!

[@vooptr]

Ohio State guy here. CJ is the best. Mad respect. Best QB I have ever seen come through The Shoe and I have seen quite a few. I am, I watched Herbstreit play live when he was in college years old…

[@IBuhZerK]

Probably have said this about every single QB you've ever had lmao

[@adambennett8824]

Are u a texans fan now? Hopin we become the next Bengals😂 bring in all the Ohio State fans to houston!

[@James-ns9pn]

Man, I hate Ohio State but this CJ kid is just great!

[@The_Bow_Show]

Stroud boys stand up!

[@Carsareimportant]

I believe in this dude! Will be a Great QB for the next decade. Houston better cop all those jerseys

[@jacquesonu5905]

As a Texans fan, this city is CJ's. We've been through a lot as fans, and CJ makes us feel like anything is possible again.

[@LaggyMcstutters]

@@jacquesonu5905lol i wouldnt go that far yet. Kid is nice but doesnt own the city. 😂

[@ZacTexC]

this city is CJ’s doesn’t mean he owns the city

[@jasonwhitlow2451]

This Hokie just became a CJ fan, what a well spoken and intelligent dude. Live the pod, boys!

[@coachcarson23]

Great Pod Boys! Hey not sure who needs to see this but I NEED a Seahawks themed "The Boys" hat soon! Keep up the great work and shout out Mule for making me UNITS these past few weeks!

[@H-Town_83]

Love Bussin but love my Quarterback even more. Perfect episode.

[@tricdaddy55]

Cj gets it man, also glad we had a tier talk. Been missing that

[@startir11]

Titans are my team since day one in Memphis. I’d love to see them this Sunday because I finally have a Sunday off and need to be there to SHOUT for the boys! Drama filled week. All hands on deck @nashvegas

[@NickPags-iz9rc]

Shoutout the boys! Taylor trying to understand the time travel question was painful ngl 😂

[@mattTN2720]

I love that these 2 are putting Nashville/franklin/Brentwood on the map. Was such an amazing place to be born and grow up. And titan fan for life. With they both had the two tone blue on but this is awesome

[@oldboot1987]

Preshate the interview. Got some hope back in my Texans.

[@JCStraulin]

You already know what day it is. Tuesday = Best day

[@chasesmith7170]

As a life long Dallas Cowboys fan, and a tier 1 Bussin listener. I would like to say this is one of the best moments of the week when i get to listen to the pod. The Dallas Cowboys are the most iconic sports team in the world. Nobody does it like us. With that being said it is EXPENSIVE as hell to go to anything at Jerry’s World! So this would benefit me very much. Big hugs, tiny kisses.

[@user-lc2rd4vu2d]

Love the ad reads! Im a big rams fan and I would love to see them play the seahawks on november 19.

[@nickbrandts2356]

I haven't watched in a while so I'm sure I'm way late on this but that intro is sick

[@CProvey]

Love to support the Titans vs Mr BDE Arthur Smith. Immaculate weather and vibes for the boys. Two tone blue Super Bowl back on. @ColtonProvey

[@CProvey]

Also if you see my last tweet Titans tried to trade me to Philly, but luckily used my no trade clause. 😂

[@ketosand]

LOVE having a good qb. Being a Texans fan is so fun again.

[@timothyhenderson2223]

Solid Ad read boyz! I dont have the tweeter but I would love to see my STL Blues!

[@laylykalfaian8189]

I’m a huge Bengals fan!!! I love our defense, from Logan Wilson, Sam Hubbard, Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton! I love their grit. I would love to go to the Bengals Vs. Steelers game in December 23rd in Pittsburgh!

[@mellomike4012]

Texans fan here. CJ is what was needed to change the outlook of our franchise, we have been the punchline to every joke for the past 2 years with how bad this franchise has looked and the incompetence of both prior head coaches. CJ doesn’t need to change his personality. We need to be more receptive of the man he is. He isn’t a guy that drops mics, he goes o the field and drops dimes. He is a leader. He can give the fiery quotes like when asked about those test scores. As to Michigan, every time you see someone in the college ranks rise and dominate, someone always wants to start investigating this and that. They did it with both Pete Carrol at USC, they do it with Saban now. I’m sure if Georgia wins another title they will cry about Kirby as well. Ultimately I think this will just push Harbaugh back to the NFL.

[@davionm999]

Harbaugh doesn’t lay down and listen to everything the ncaa says so I’m thinking they’ve tried everything they can w him to push him towards going back to the nfl

[@anthonyvieyra2099]

LETS FUCKING GO!!! YALL REALLY GOT MY QB ON HERE!! he’s such a breath of fresh air as a texans fan. god damn shits been rough before this man came in.

[@adambennett8824]

Definitely felt like yall got that swag outta him a lil bit this episode😂 - texans fan

[@arbbarnes]

Titans have got that grit and determination. Two tone blue through and through! @arbbarnes

[@jacobmeluskey1455]

As a lifetime Chargers fan...Will is completely on point. I would only add that this has been the story of the Chargers since the day I was born.

[@meredithkardokus9161]

As a lifelong titans fan, we have a great coach in Vrabel and I believe in what he can do with this franchise. I think we have some young raw talent in Levis and I’m excited to see what he can bring to the table!

[@drewshafer9908]

Shepherd is definitely a real school, I grew up in MD about 45-50 minutes from there and they’ve been a good D2 program for a long time

[@ITZxKNIGHT]

Hey Gametime! Looking to go to the UCF v West Virginia game on Saturday.

[@cards_dylan]

Yes, Will! Candy corn for the win!

[@ronhouse8121]

This one's for the boys!!!

[@Negro_Guapo]

FSU vs UF!!! Seminoles needs some respect from you two. As a tier 1 and VIP section of push up Tuesday I think I should get that gametime offer.

[@Negro_Guapo]

@El_Guapo_Negro will even caught me one night on push up Tuesday. JP saw me rip 10 reps of 225lbs.

[@zachocheese]

I love that jc jackson is on the pats again

[@andrew_7539]

Chargers Fan, PREACH WILL! I'm glad people are starting to talk about the debacle of coaching in LA. Nothing new tho! All my life 😅

[@salvadorgurrola25]

The Ernest intro never gets old

[@topbanana5601]

Enjoy the show BUT please fix y'alls audio. There's something cutting the audio super aggressively when a volume threshold is hit. It goes from sounding natural, then when you all start getting excited about something the audio gets really compressed and I never can get the volume right on my speakers. Will is either blowing my eardrums out when he is calm or he is excitedly whispering in my ear

[@calebingram44]

For the boys

[@trentsmith5553]

Haven’t watched it yet but I already know it’s a Mount Busmore episode

[@aronpierce0944]

The Boys!!

[@buttercutz]

Please get Tyson Bagent’s dad on the show. Guy is an electrical factory and would be a phenomenal 20-30 minute Zoom guest

[@kimhickey416]

Clean slate for the titans, time to rebuild.

[@tacotom3492]

Gonna have to tank and Vrabs ain't a tank job kinda coach .

[@6thRanger]

Candy corn is Top Tier 🔥

[@joshbridges4541]

Titans fan. They have the cleanest retro uniforms.

[@jacobrichardson3529]

Thank goodness we don’t have schizophrania s/o the boys I mean these two hours flew by job well done as always gentlemen

[@isaiahnevarez263]

I agree with big Willy C we a lifetime Chargers fan it's time for a change!

[@breezy9939]

At least the boi KB goin to a squad with literal animals🦅

[@kalof3l51]

Sad that they are a bunch of wild animals.

[@DianaRussia531]

CJ is it for me. He understood the worth of the candy corn right off the bat

[@LondonEngland-dx2ol]

Not in Nashville but good luck to the tier 1's and the tix

[@mariorangel648]

As a lifelong raiders fan since 2007 to be exact it’s been a rough ride and a lot of losing lots of coaches as we currently have coach mcdaniels getting harassed by fans but it’s any fucking given Sunday and you know every week we repping the best jerseys in the nfl going hard only like raider nation does but that 21-22 playoff run with the boy playoff Willy is top tier raider moments!

[@TheTopTitansYoutuber]

Titan up

[@nico121998]

As a young Chilean🇨🇱 growing up in southern Kentucky, but in a household of Chilean parents, football was an odd commodity in our 2-television household. I would love the chance to watch the Boys rocking the Oiler uniforms this Sunday against my roommate’s hometown team: the Falcons. Teach him that it’s time to Titan the fuck up! @NicoPinilla98

[@estrapple8808]

Will Compton is the GOAT!

[@lakecityransom]

CJ Stroud throwing it to none other than Michigan's talented Nico Collins. Neither got any joy out of The Game, but they let it sharpen them.

[@user-kc8qw1jl1l]

Tennesse Titans have one of the coolest atmospheres in all of the NFL

[@Joe-vg6ii]

LFG BOYS!

[@FLAchilles]

Big mistake not having a TE on this week for National Tight Ends Day

[@FrankP210]

Favorite episode so far. Until yall have CJ in the bus. Bulls on Parade 🐃 🤘🤘

[@jkwbuckeye86]

As an Ohio State fan I’m disappointed in Taylor for not crediting Nico Collins as the reason for CJ’s rookie success.

[@evanwaleck87]

The BOYS 🎃 🐺

[@OneUMax]

Can we throw in a couple more ad reads?

[@ronhouse8121]

When c.j. said pause after the snickers comment was the moment he officially became a boy 😂😂

[@ryandavies9918]

good morning boys lets have a fucking day

[@Bigdogjacob]

Shit that gets you beat- when your windshield wipers makes a sound when wiping even tho it’s raining, pisses me off every time

We definitely took an L on the bye week getting rid of Kevin Byard

[@TheCollectorsCorner727]

Yall shit the bed on the NFL this week! Let's fucking go boys & interns!

[@therealraposa]

I laughed way too hard when Will did “scouts honor” and threw down 2 in the pink 1 in the stink

[@justinaversa5338]

This show is so much better when u guys didn’t load it with segments and just talked like the boys in the locker room

[@jackham1809]

So where do I find the BOYS' jingle to add to my playlist @ernest, @TheBoys, and @TheBackofTheBusBoys??????

Thank you Will for saying the chargers need to clean house.

[@samhaneberg5328]

[@MrHewbrewHammer]

I would love to see Georgia vs Bama in the SEC Championship Dec 2nd. I love UGA cause I have been a fan since 1988 when I was born. Was always told about the glory days of 1980-1982 with Herschel Walker and it took so long for us to get back to the promise land and we finally did and these last three seasons have been a magical wild ride. @YoungGM2015

[@triston9934]

When I heard Taylor say poopie moment I immediately had to skip the video to get to CJ

[@macdaddymav]

Anyone who skips any ad ever is not tier 1

Let’s have us a day fellas

[@dakota4775]

First comment. Here early for the boys

[@MATTIASMERCS]

I like how Taylor said he's not a chocolate fan then top 3 two of them are in fact chocolate lol Candy Corn is GOAT

[@brandonsoflo2312]

Good episode. But I’ve gotta say, I feel like there are too many “segments”. The pod does feel a little rushed. Would love to here more talking shop about ball, what happened over the weekend etc..instead of reading off bullet points. It’s more structured than y’all flowing off each other. Just my 2 cents… Much love from South Florida!!

[@Zyntendo64]

Chicago bears are coming around, possible new starting QB? Would love to see them dawg on the Panthers on 11/9. @Swagert21 #Gametime

[@chriscampbell932]

As a Saints fan at least we have Alvin Kamara.

I’m from Texas but shit I want to go to Michigan Ohio State. Lets go

[@6thRanger]

Go Ravens 💜🖤

[@StrosB4Hos]

Cal McNair said Texans new uniforms will feature “htown blue” which is confirmation that they’re going to that color combo. Rumor is the mcnairs had to jump through some hoops to get them. The Adams got a stranglehold on that uni and name. Also about the draft pick thing y’all asked cj. Texans don’t have their pick. They have the Browns pick, the browns just won 2 games with pj Walker and I’m pissed.

[@brandon7234]

Tennessee titans haven’t had real hope since Will Compton was there

[@NicholasJenkins-wi2tg]

New York jets. We started the year with all the hype and excitement to then being depressed after 4 plays and now back to excitement and some hope. Would love to go see them play. @NickJenkins412
