Best of the Bus: CJ Stroud On His Early Success In The NFL

On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys sat down with the boy, Michael Chandler, after his WILD fight against Charles Oliveira. Since the fight was only two days earlier, Mike’s body wasn’t feeling the best. He started off the pod by listing out all the things that hurt. This was Mike’s first time back in the Octagon in over two years, so he dove into what it felt like to return and all the emotions he went through. The Boys then broke down each round of the fight, and Mike pointed out some things he wished he would’ve done differently. Overall, if you watched the fight, you knew how absolutely electric it was, and being able to hear it firsthand from Mike was pretty cool. Hope y’all enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Together, they’ll break down everything that can go right and wrong (...usually wrong) when you bring tiny humans into this world.   Expect funny parenting stories, laughs, call-ins, advice, weekly themes, and the kind of conversations you’d have over a cold beer in the garage. Whether you’re raising teens or still Googling “how to install a car seat”, For the Dads is the ultimate podcast for dads who are in it, about to be in it, or just trying to do their best while screwing it up along the way.   -----   FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram:   / Forthedadspod  Twitter:   / Forthedadspod Facebook:   / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod   LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify   -----   SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   Wayfair - Get organized, refreshed, and back to routine for way less.

Recorded: September 15, 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back on the bus and this week they’re joined by a true showman, WWE superstar and reality TV icon, The Miz. From main-eventing WrestleMania and taking on the likes of John Cena and Brock Lesnar to starring in his own reality show, The Miz has done it all, and now he’s hopping on the bus to talk life inside and outside the ring. Before the A-Lister joins, the Boys start off with some classic Bussin’ Bowl Banter and tease the most epic rivalry game in all of sports. Then it’s time for The Miz himself—one of the most decorated wrestlers in WWE history and arguably the greatest talker on the mic. The Boys kick off the interview with some Ro: Spicy Tier Talk. They then cover everything from Miz’s journey through MTV’s The Real World to WWE glory, how he keeps reinventing himself after two decades in the spotlight, and what it really takes to survive in the world’s most cutthroat entertainment business. Miz pulls no punches sharing stories about locker room politics, his most brutal matches, and the mindset that keeps him at the top. Whether you’re a diehard wrestling sicko or just here for some legendary storytelling, this one’s got something for everyone.

The Boys had stud rookie quarterback for the Texans, CJ Stroud, zoom into the show. They immediately got into how CJ had so much success as a rookie and what had helped him achieve that early success. Taylor then, in Taylor fashion, gave CJ some flack for playing at Ohio State, and CJ took it gracefully without much to say back since he never beat them. Finally, the Boys wrapped up their time with CJ by asking him about his shittiest moment as a rookie and finishing with a Spooktober-themed Tier Talk. CJ was just another one of the guys, and we looked forward to having him on the bus on day. Enjoy, fellas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
