March Madness Bracket Predictions + Steve Rinella On Building The Meat Eater Empire

Recorded: MARCH 18, 2025 Get ready for a must-watch episode of Will Compton and Taylor Lewan's Bussin’ With The Boys, featuring legendary outdoorsman Steve Rinella from MeatEater! The boys kick things off with March Madness parlays and predictions for the NCAA Tournament, their wild Montana trip, and of course yet another heated Michigan vs. Nebraska debate. There’s also talk of our new merch (sign up to save on our newest drop @ BWTB.com)! They then throw back to Will Compton’s wrestling days, and deep dive into Severance talk, NFL news, where Aaron Rodgers will end up, and more. Next, it’s time for the main event—Steve Rinella hops on the bus to share his expertise on hunting, outdoor life, and media. He breaks down what it’s like introducing new hunters to the sport, shares his craziest close calls with death, and talks about the gritty reality of the hunting world. The conversation covers tribalism in hunting, bear species differences, and how Steve built MeatEater into a massive brand. He also opens up about his writing career, adapting to media, and the most surprising guests he’s interviewed. Steve and The Boys discuss balancing fatherhood and the outdoors, and whether he’d ever take a government role in wildlife conservation. Plus, they debate the impact of wood tariffs on the U.S. Grab a Bud Light, sit back, and enjoy this epic episode with Steve Rinella!
