Method

Tennessee Titans linemen Taylor Lewan and Will Compton record the first episode of Bussin' With The Boys in May 2019 inside an old Budweiser bus Lewan buys for about 2,000 dollars and converts into a studio in Nashville, and the show reaches the top ten of Apple's sports podcast chart by July 2019. Barstool Sports carries the show from 2019, extends the contract around 2023, and in January 2025 the hosts announce they are leaving for an exclusive sponsorship deal with FanDuel that Dave Portnoy confirms, keeping ownership of the intellectual property, the existing feeds and creative control rather than joining another network. The show stays produced in Nashville with a YouTube channel, an iHeart feed and merchandise. The FanDuel deal value is described as lavish in press reports and is not disclosed.
