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.

In this episode of For The Dads with Former NFL Linebacker Will Compton, hosts Will and Sherm react to their first true piece of hate mail, the boys prepare for a snowy weekend in Nashville with the fams, and tease some brand new Milk Team 6 Merch (let’s go!) — all while keeping the episode fun, fresh and of course, under an hour.

 An amazing Dad Hack from our new favorite caller


Will ask Jill permission for Sherm to game with the boys


The boys chat through the hardest part of parenthood

Other highlights include:
Will tells us he knows how to spell “illustration”


Another amazing Dan Gable quote

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.

Recorded: January 19th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with Titans DT and All-Pro Jeffery Simmons to break down the Titans’ season, locker room leadership, and Tennessee’s ongoing coaching search. Jeffery dives into film study, accountability, Mike Vrabel vs. Brian Callahan, why he believes the Titans need a defensive-minded head coach.

In The Intro the boys touch on some Kevin’s Natural Foods clean takes, their shoutout no free shoutouts, and their pet peeves for the week. Taylor also admits to hating snow (c’mon TAYLOR!).

The boys also finally squash the long-standing beef between Jeffrey Simmons and Taylor Lewan, revisiting their on-field altercation, locker room tension, and how it ultimately got resolved. The conversation expands into NFL coaching culture, leadership on and off the field, fatherhood, personal growth, and where Jeffery sees the Titans heading next.

On this week’s Monday NFL recap, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan break down the biggest storylines from around the league, from playoff implications to coaching drama and controversial moments.

The boys start with Super Bowl predictions before diving into Bills vs. Broncos and the ongoing Josh Allen conversation, explaining why he shouldn’t be taking all the blame for Buffalo’s situation. From there, they hit Texans vs. Patriots and debate the Brandin Cooks catch-or-no-catch that had everyone fired up.

Later, the focus shifts to Sean McDermott’s future in Buffalo, followed by breakdowns of Rams vs. Bears and 49ers vs. Seahawks as the playoff picture continues to take shape. The episode wraps with a classic Bussin’ debate on Mike Vrabel and a look ahead to the College Football National Championship.

If you love NFL recaps, playoff talk, quarterback debates, and unfiltered football conversations, this one’s for you.
