Recorded: February 8th, 2024 | The boys were joined by the one and only Troy Polamalu. This interview was a football player’s dream — just a couple of older guys talking inside ball, breaking down X’s and O’s, and having some good old-fashioned dude time. Troy opened up about how relentlessly he studied other players, his love for watching film, and how he decided to make those legendary plays jumping over the line.

Best of the Bus: Troy Polamalu Talks the Art Of Defense, Chasing Ed Reed + Life After Football

Recorded: January 20th 2023 | In this Best of the Bus throwback, the Boys went to Las Vegas where newest Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Maxx Crosby welcomed them into his home to hang out and talk ball. From kicking it with his dogs to diving into his long-term goals, Maxx opens up about the mindset and work ethic that drives him to keep improving every season.

He also shares what it was like being teammates with Antonio Brown and Davante Adams, giving the Boys a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities inside the locker room. The conversation shifts to the Derek Carr situation in Las Vegas and how Maxx processed everything as it unfolded.

Maxx then delivers a classic monologue about his All-Pro mentality and the standard he holds himself to—one of those speeches that’ll make you want to run through a brick wall.

With Maxx recently being traded to the Ravens, it felt like the perfect time to revisit this conversation from his days with the Las Vegas Raiders and hear the mindset that made him one of the most respected defensive players in the league.

Biggest hugs, tiniest kisses.

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 recently new father who’s currently deep in the trenches of Fatherhood and loving every minute of it. 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.

A Surprise Gender Reveal, The NO Phase + Dealing With Your Kids Sports Failure | For The Dads

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/58023b54-4b74-42f2-942b-b402016e8d1f/transcript

Recorded: February 6th, 2026 | Welcome back to another episode of Bussin' With The Boys. This week, Will is joined by friend of the show, Clay Matthews. Clay and Will dive into all of the headlines coming out of the NFL Combine from this past weekend. The guys get into what their experience was like at the Combine, for Will, his pro day. The boys get into what they were most nervous about and whether or not Will is more athletic than Clay.

Following the intro, Will and Taylor sit down with Super Bowl champion QB Russell Wilson for a real, unfiltered conversation about football, leadership, and the grind of the last few years. The boys kick things off by asking how Russ somehow has time to do everything—business, family, football—and how long he actually wants to keep playing in the NFL. From there, he gets honest about the struggles of the last three seasons. He has bounced around the last couple years and dives into what happened in Denver between him and Sean Payton.

Russ breaks down what the quarterback room is like in New York with Jaxon Dart and Jameis Winston. He also talks about his relationship with Pete Carroll while he was in Seattle. Russ gets into how Pete is able to keep his energy so high and what makes him such a great coach. Finally Russ gets into how much longer he wants to play and asks the boys what they did to prepare for life after football. He also gets into what it has been like and how he deals with the critics and “haters” when things aren’t going his way.

If you’re into NFL quarterback talk, comeback seasons, leadership, Super Bowl dreams, and behind-the-scenes insight into life as one of the league’s most talked-about players, this one’s for you.

Big hugs, tiny kisses.
