Recorded: November 03, 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome College Baseball powerhouse Tony Vitello, former head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and now the new manager of the San Francisco Giants! Taylor Lewan kicks off the pod by further apologizing for his Spooktober showing. However Will Compton presses him to a point that Taylor defends his title as the king of Spooktober. The boys then recap their Halloweens with the family, sharing stories of trick-or-treating with their kids and the best costumes they saw over the weekend. Followed by Taylor fighting for his life on the bus explaining his battle with gout. Afterward Vitello hops on the pod and gives the boys an incredible interview. Renowned for his fiery intensity, innovative culture, and championship run, Tony Vitello will now look to translate his skills to the MLB. Tony opens up about his leadership style and team culture building, as well as a few recruiting secrets, game-day rituals (including the infamous leopard-print fur coat for home runs), and how he builds a winning mindset from the ground up. Along the way: light-hearted stories, locker room moments, and unexpected insights into what it takes to win at the highest level of college baseball and what it will take to win a World Series after what we all just witnessed between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.
