Following the post, one user expressed:
Don’t see why Trump would have anything to do with them leaving. Dave interviewed Trump. If Trump (or any political figure of that magnitude) gives you the opportunity to do an interview you just do it, it’s a no-brainer. Will they leave? Who knows. Always seemed to me like Taylor couldn’t care less about Barstool and has his sights set on bigger things, while Will is the opposite and very much seems to want to be in the mix at Barstool. If they’re a package deal and one of them has one foot out the door, hard to see that swinging back in Barstool’s favor.

I think they are insinuating that they have become bigger than Barstool. If you can book the former president on your show, that means you have a ton of negotiating power when it comes to contracts. I don’t think it has anything to do with politics.

On January 8, 2025, comedian Francis Ellis shared his experiences about his rise at Barstool Sports and his eventual firing, which followed a controversial blog post he wrote that was insensitive.
This discussion took place during his appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, providing an in-depth look into the events that unfolded.
In related news, another Barstool Sports personality, Caleb Pressley, recently announced his departure from the company to establish his own production company, Bill Joe Productions.
Pressley’s decision to leave was made public shortly after the departure of Grace O’Malley, the former cohost of “Plan Bri Uncut,” who also left Barstool under circumstances she described as “not a mutual decision.”
Despite these departures, there have been no announcements or indications of any firings or the potential exit of “Bussin’ With The Boys” from Barstool Sports.
The hosts, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, continue to produce content actively, highlighted by their latest podcast episode titled “Taylor Lewan: ‘Eagles Look STRONG vs Packers’; Will Compton Says Steelers Stand NO CHANCE vs Ravens,” which aired on the same day as Francis Ellis’s interview.
Additionally, their analysis of the NFL Playoffs was featured in a video titled “The NFL Playoffs Are Set | Will Compton & Taylor Lewan React To Who Has The Easiest Path,” also released on January 8, 2025.
Their consistent video uploads, updated daily, confirm that Lewan and Compton remain dynamic and engaged contributors at Barstool Sports.
While it’s unclear what lies ahead for “Bussin’ With The Boys” at Barstool Sports, their current involvement points to a continued role in the network’s activities.
