Welcome to another episode of Bussin' With The Boys featuring special guest, 49ers star running back and NFL comeback player of the year, Christian McCaffrey. Will Compton & Taylor Lewan sit down with christian McCaffrey fresh off his Comeback Player of the Year season and carrying the load for a beat-up 49ers roster, CMC gets real about the responsibility of being the guy, the mental side of the grind, and how this season tested him. The conversation also touches on Mac Jones’ strong year, George Kittle battling injuries, and some legendary behind the scenes football talk including stories about Julius Peppers’ freak athleticism and why Luke Kuechly was the gold standard on the practice field in Carolina, when CMC was at the Panthers.

Outside the game, CMC talks through how he decompresses, what his daily training routine actually looks like in season, stepping into fatherhood, and how growing up playing multiple sports helped build his skill set. Plus, there’s a classic Super Bowl week moment thrown in that perfectly sums up the chaos of the week.

If you’re about top-tier RB play, behind-the-scenes Super Bowl stories, and real locker room football conversations, this one’s for you.

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.

Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are joined by NFL legends Clay Matthews and Delanie Walker to break down Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

 

The boys dive into Sam Darnold winning his first Super Bowl and just how dominant Seattle looked all season long. They also discuss Kenneth Walker III taking home Super Bowl MVP and what his huge performance could mean as he heads toward free agency and a potential payday.

 

In our Jim Beam Taste of the Offseason segment, the crew looks ahead to the future of the New England Patriots, pouring one out for our guy Mike Vrabel while recognizing how much this team overachieved this year. With Drake Maye at quarterback, New England’s future is still bright.

 

The guys also recap Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, while Delanie and Clay share what it’s really like playing in a Super Bowl and how the week leading up to the game compares to a normal NFL game week.

 

It’s the final football recap show of the season, and the boys bring the juice. Tap in.

Recorded: April 4, 2022 | On this Best of the Bus, we’re throwing it back to when Sam Darnold hopped on the bus for a great conversation with The Boys. Sam walks through his football journey from his high school days and recruiting process all the way through his time at USC and into the NFL.

The conversation dives into what it was like being part of that loaded QB class with Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen, and Sam breaks down the famous “seeing ghosts” moment and the real pressure that comes with playing quarterback at the highest level. The guys also get into Jets fan expectations, what it was like sharing a locker room with Cam Newton, and plenty of real locker room stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

If you missed this one the first time around, this is a must listen. And if you already heard it, it’s absolutely worth running back again.
