Recorded: April 9th, 2025 This week, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan travel to Eugene, Oregon, to sit down with Dan Lanning. The Oregon Ducks head coach invited The Boys on campus for an all-time look inside his program and delivered an absolutely epic interview. Will and Taylor start the pod off with an intro reacting to Michael Chandler’s loss to Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett at UFC 314, Rory McIlroy’s victory at The Masters, and Nico Iamaleava transferring from Tennessee. Then we kick it over to Dan Lanning. Coach Lanning talks about everything—from bringing elite talent to Eugene and building a winning culture with NIL, to his mindset heading into the Ohio State game, and the Ducks’ College Football Playoff preparation. He dives into his coaching journey, how he teaches players to manage money, and even shares his biggest personal splurge (spoiler: it’s got four wheels). The Boys touch on trash talk, freshmen joining Oregon’s roster mid-year, and what it’s like competing in the Big Ten. Dan opens up about balancing football with family life, his favorite movies and games, and who he’d spend a day with outside of football. Plus, he reveals whether the NFL is in his future and throws down on some iconic Bussin’ segments like Bet The Bus and Ro Spicy. One of the most well-rounded, insightful, and straight-up fun convos we’ve had with a head coach—don’t miss it. Make sure to like, subscribe, and—as always—BIG HUGS and TEENY TINY KISSES!

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. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bussinwtb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BussinWTB Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BussinWTB/ LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS FanDuel: Sign Up for FanDuel: fanduel.com/bussin Check out FanDuel Promos: https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/promotions Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.
