Under The Hood: Best of 2020

Recorded: February 26, 2021 | Tight End pod for the boys? Absolutely. TJ Hockenson (Detroit Lions) makes his bus debut and George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) returns to keep Taylor's seat warm. Lock in, it's a banger.

The boys are all fresh off a workout when they get to the bus, so the first topic of conversation is obviously pre-workout (which they peer-pressured Will into taking in a specifically savage way). Next up, they dive into college ball talk when George and TJ, who played together at Iowa, claim that Iowa has officially become Tight End U. Then, TJ tells the boys what it's like to be a 1st Round draft pick, George calls him out on his fashion choices, and they all talk about blocking people on Twitter.

Finally, TJ shares why he and NFL commish, Roger Goodell, are such good friends (plus a little surprise that indicates Goodell may actually be for the boys), what it was like playing with Matthew Stafford, and what's so exciting about Lions' new head coach, Dan Campbell (besides that electric press conference, obviously).

Tight ends need appreciation. This pod is for them. Enjoy!

Under the Hood | Nate Bargatze BTS, Ad Reads, and A New Home for The Bus?

Recorded: February 15, 2021

Nate Bargatze is one funny MFer. The boy hopped on the bus to catch up with Comp & The Crew, and he did not disappoint.

A Nashville native with a new Netflix special coming out March 18 called, "The Greatest Average American," Nate jumps right into things by talking about his own podcasting experience, why consistency is huge, and the process of "making it" in football vs comedy.

Next, Nate addresses how difficult the road is for a comic trying to make it, Will gives some insight into why he has always focused on creating business ventures outside of football, and Nate reveals who he thinks had the most impressive rise to fame of any comedian.

After that, Will and Nate share how valuable it is to have mentors, the importance of setting attainable goals, and why accountability is crucial. At this point, Nate starts whipping out stories from his comedy journey that leave everybody on the bus rolling, he opens up about how he knew he wanted to be a comedian, and he explains the path his life took to go from a rookie stand-up to a legit world-renowned talent.

Then, we hear about Nate's clown father (no, really, his dad was a clown AND a magician), performing in front of tiny crowds, doing shows to audiences who don't speak English, and the worst performance he's ever had.

This one's packed with laughs, so beware if you're taking this one to the gym with you. Enjoy.
