Kirk Cousins Talks About Draft Night + Leaving Minnesota For Atlanta

Recorded: May 9th 2024 | In this week’s episode the boys are celebrating some good news as the Compton Family s adding a new member. Will is having another daughter and has a lot to unpack given how much he wanted a boy. He gets into how he isn’t disappointed that it’s a girl, he’s more disappointed in the fact that he would like to try for a boy a third time and never saw himself with three kids. All in all, he’s super stoked to have another girl.
Following the intro, the guys drove down to Atlanta and sat dow with the boy, Kirk Cousins. We had Kirk on a couple years ago at the Super Bowl, but now he is on a new team. Will and Taylor talk to him about what the process was like getting signed by Atlanta and why he wanted to come here. The guys also ask Kirk how his recovery process is coming along after tearing his achilles in the middle of the season last year. Finally, Kirk talks about his feelings towards Michael Penix Jr. and what it’s been like having him in the building. Overall, Kirk is one of the best guys you will ever meet, he’s so genuine and is just a regular dude. You guys will for sure enjoy this pod.

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.

Congratulations! Cherish the time, it flies by.

[@Dr.Unsteady]

Kirk is a natural speaker, dude is one of the few athletes that this comes natural too. When he’s done we need a Kirk podcast

[@iangrylls2178]

Definitely a guy I want to grab a beer or glass of wine with and just talk to about anything and everything.

[@Chagafinder]

That would be the most vanilla boring ass podcast lol. "Today we're gonna talk about the hot debate, wheat bread vs rye bread?!?!"

[@iangrylls2178]

@@Chagafinder I’m saying if I had the chance to meet and talk to Kirk Cousins. That’s not the bussin brand brother we all know that

[@sethlivingstone1999]

Always criticized him for his play on the field but NEVER for anything else. Dude’s got the best negotiating.

[@iangrylls2178]

@@sethlivingstone1999 been a fan since his days at MSU and even tho I’m a proud lions fan (raised in Detroit so I’ve been there all my life) I’ve wanted to see him succeed in the league

[@kevindenny3607]

Kirk is the man! Doesn't give in to outside influence, seemingly living his best life.

That Kirk interview was amazing. His chemistry with the Boys is always good vibes.

Way to show up Sammy 👏 strong fan representation

[@joelane800]

Eagles fan here! I love Kirk Cousins man, hes just a good dude and hilarious

[@heiliger1000]

Cousins seems like one of the most down to earth people around. You can tell he is thankful, humble, respects people and good with his money. Whenever he is done playing he should seriously consider being a motivational speaker. Whether it be to companies, kids or young professional athletes. Great episode.

[@footballfred2207]

Nice getting Cousins on the POD boys. We love yall from NASHVILLEE

How could you not love Kirk Cousins? from humble beginnings to generational wealth.

Kirk is a legend! Top 5 guest easy

[@andrewzachman4639]

Willy dropping some truly incredible news! Congratulations man! And Kirk killed it! ABSOLUTE BANGER of a pod🫡

[@stevenbusse483]

I can't wait to see how good Bijan Robinson is going to look next year with Kirk Cousins as his QB. They both have such a great work ethic as well as putting team first. Classy answer about Penix pick. They can sign whoever they need in free agency anyway. Draft is rarely as reliable. Teams paying more than what they should for unproven players. Kirk earned this opportunity. He's going to be a hot commodity in Fantasy drafts this year.

[@rustincole_w1339]

The guest is truly one of the boys ... I guess money does buy friendships

[@iangrylls2178]

Comp, blessings to you and the wifey for baby number 2! Girl dad through and through. But I think Kirk Cousins is my favorite guest yall have had on the show, I think we need one more with him on the bus, maybe when he scratches that itch with a watch or car. I’m a tier 2 fan already got some more girl dad merch coming my way, but the show takes me back to my college baseball days with the boys that I miss everyday, so thank you to you and Taylor and the boys in the back.

[@neekorobison1458]

Kirk seems like such a great person. From a Michigan grad, I wish all the success for this guy

[@Buca25]

[@BussinWithTheBoys]

Appreciate you brother - Mitch

[@southernpreparedness1691]

Great episode. Kirk is awesome glad he is a Falcon

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

When you think of his history, no offers, no scholarships, no walk ons, no big college programs, undersized etc. Going from that to one of the most paid QBs, dude already won

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Sammy came in correct... Chick-fil-A, lattes, that EPIC intro speech... Y'all better let that man dive into the Tunnel of Chaos 🫡

Three is great but if done correctly you won’t have time for ANYTHING else!!! I just turned 50 and have 24,22,20! The best advice I can give is LOVE THEM & BE PRESENT as much as you can! Girl (getting married in Aug), Boy (aerospace engineering school at Auburn), and baby girl (played a season for Clemson soccer and retired…now at UGA). Hard work but worth it!
