Bussin' With The Boys

On this episode of For The Dads, former NFL linebacker Will Compton and co-host Sherman Young dive into hilarious dad moments, parenting wins, and why being present is the ultimate parenting superpower.

The boys kick things off with updates on Papa Team 6 — including the latest dad news, a one-month fatherhood milestone for Sherm, and a surprise moment on the pod. They get into the struggles of taking family photos, the possibility of a PT6 fan meetup, and a debate on the best monster trucks. They also talk about reading bedtime stories to toddlers, dealing with chaotic merch drops, and welcome back their first-ever recurring guest — all the way from Australia.

To wrap, Will and Sherm reflect on the power of being present and how the little moments can make the biggest difference as a dad.

For The Dads is for every guy who needs a place to talk, vent, and laugh about all the insane, hilarious, and chaotic sh** (sometimes literal) that comes with being a dad.

Hosted by Will Compton–NFL Vet, creator of Bussin' With the Boys, and proud dad of two. This show isn’t about expert advice and how fatherhood is the greatest thing on earth—it’s about embracing the love and suck of parenthood every day. From balancing work and family to battling the mental load, fears, and the moments that wreck you in the best way, we dive into it all with honesty, vulnerability, and a sense of humor. Cause at the end of the day... us dads have no idea what we're doing.

Alongside Will is his producer Sherman Young, a soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. 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.

In the intro, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan talk about the fast-approaching NFL season, top league headlines, and entering full-blown dad mode. They also wrap up their summer internship program, bringing fan-favorite Big Cheese on for one last ride before school starts.

The episode kicks off with a must-hear Mike Vrabel interview. The new Patriots head coach opens up about his firing from the Tennessee Titans, his brief stop in Cleveland, and what it’s like rebuilding the Patriots' culture. He even shares stories about Jameis Winston’s locker room energy and his goals for New England in 2025.

Next, the guys sit down with rookie QB Drake Maye, the Patriots’ 2024 first-round pick, to talk about his NFL Draft experience, becoming the starter midseason, and how Coach Vrabel keeps him on his toes.

Then, linebacker Robert Spillane joins the show to share his unbelievable journey from NFL open tryout to landing a $33 million contract. Spillane reflects on his grind, early years with the Titans, and passion for football.

To wrap the Patriots stop, Mack Hollins (aka the Barefoot King) hops on to talk about why he never wears shoes, how a random meeting with Australians shifted his mindset, and how close he came to retiring from the game.

This episode is packed with exclusive NFL interviews, underdog stories, and real-life inspiration — from Vrabel’s coaching philosophy to Drake Maye’s rookie development and Mack Hollins’ unique lifestyle. Don’t miss it.

Recorded: January 20, 2023 | The Boys made their way to Las Vegas where they linked up with the Boy, Maxx Crosby. Maxx welcomed them into his home, introduced them to his dogs, and opened up about the long-term goals he had set for himself. He talked through the personal growth he believed was necessary to elevate his game heading into next season. Maxx also shared what it was like having both Antonio Brown and Davante Adams as teammates. The Boys pressed him on the Derek Carr situation, and Maxx gave his honest thoughts—before delivering a passionate monologue about not being named an All-Pro that could make anyone want to run through a brick wall.

Recorded: July 30th 2025 | Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Bus. This week we talk about a wide range of topics and hop around from each one. We recap Taylor's pool party that he finally had for the boys after three years. Mitch's game of tee took the boys by storm while Jarod was super bummed out that categories wasn't that fun.

We then hop around talking about different Apple TV shows like Stick, Shrinking and Your Friends and Neighbors. Jarod has a wild statement saying that he hates Apple TV's interface, which is crazy because all of the streaming interfaces are about the same. 

Just another episode of good vibes, good times and good conversations. Give us all the comments, all the likes and all the subscribers, much love.

In this episode of For The Dads, Will and Sherm share a few stories and lots of laughs about wild family vacations, intense baby changing battles, and relatable dad anecdotes. 

Will recaps his recent family vacation to Banff National Park—what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into a grueling uphill battle on a hike he definitely underestimated. Sherm brings us into the early chaos of raising a newborn, including a wild (and slightly terrifying) moment on the changing table with his 4-week-old.

The boys also break down their favorite movies to watch with their kids, swap parenting wins and losses, and try to wrap their heads around the internet's latest rabbit hole: "Gooning."

It’s honest, hilarious, and filled with the kind of stories every dad (and future dad) can relate to.

Tap in, fellas. Papa Team 6, we ride.
