Recorded: August 4th, 2024 780 days… more than two trips around the sun. Will and Taylor have been waiting to make this one happen for a long, long time. Rich Eisen is finally here, folks! First things first… was there ever really beef between the boys and Rich? What was the final straw that made Rich crack and come to Nashville? Are the Tier 1s the true reason Rich came on the pod?! We find all that out and more when Rich deep-dives into his thoughts on Jack's "post a photo of Rich" tweet chain, and whether or not Jack truly deserves a brand-new (and extremely dependable) Chevy Silverado. The boys then ask Rich about his career and how he got to the NFL Network. Rich does an awesome job of describing his trajectory throughout the sports media world—how he got his start after graduating from Michigan, his love for all sports (especially baseball), and his time spent at ESPN. We also have a longer intro than usual for the true Tier 1s. We were visited by our Black Friday Contest Winner, Taylor and Will broke down what NFL preseason looks like as a player, and finished with some marriage advice for Bussin' Producer JP Hovey. (Be sure to wish JP "good luck" this weekend down in the comments—he’s officially tying the knot!) If you're a long-time listener, we've been waiting quite some time for this episode! First time here? Well, we hope you enjoy our 289th Episode featuring: Rich Eisen!

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. ----- SHOP: https://store.barstoolsports.com/collections/bussin-with-the-boys FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bussinwtb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BussinWTB Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BussinWTB/ Website: https://www.bussinwtb.com LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Chevy: Head over to chevy.com to build your own Silverado and check out all the current offers on Silverado Gametime: Download the Gametime app or go to https://gametime.co, enter your email, and redeem code BUSSIN for $20 off your first purchase (terms apply).
