Brandon Spikes makes Will Compton's pregame pasta the punchline

A linebacker pep talk becomes a roast on Bussin' With The Boys, complete with an animated military cap for Compton.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 172,979 views a day, 36 times a normal first day on this channel (4,862).

Brandon Spikes is explaining how he prepared to own the middle of the field when Will Compton suddenly becomes the example of an entirely different approach: pasta and electrolytes.

The Bussin' With The Boys Short drew about 133,000 views in its first 14 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. It starts as a football mentality story and ends with the hosts laughing at a very specific pregame-menu joke.

Spikes says he chose middle linebacker over defensive end because he didn't want offenses running away from him. The middle was his territory. His way of getting ready to defend it, he explains, included skipping the pregame meal and working himself into a hungry frenzy.

"I am starving!" he shouts. The edit puts a camouflage military cap on Compton, who is following along with the speech. Then Spikes turns on him, joking that Compton was probably comfortably fueling up with pasta instead. Compton, Taylor Lewan and Spikes all break into laughter.

Other excerpts are drawing unusually fast audiences too, including a clip about Compton's NFL fun and Spikes revisiting his college hit on Georgia's Knowshon Moreno. But the hungry-linebacker routine has the largest audience so far among those uploads.

In the comments, viewers pick up on Compton's changing expression and the military-cap edit. Some want Spikes coaching a defense; others want him to have a permanent seat on the bus.
