Mike Vrabel On Coaching vs. Playing With The New England Patriots In The Super Bowl | Bussin'

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ec0bcfb4-9bb1-4233-81fc-b3e6010c1020/transcript

In the summer, the boys went to New England for a Patriots training camp tour, and now, just months later, the Pats are in the Super Bowl. The guys sat down for a must-hear interview with Mike Vrabel, who had just taken over as the Patriots’ head coach. Vrabel opened up about his departure from the Titans, his brief stop in Cleveland, and what it was like stepping into the challenge of rebuilding New England’s culture. He also shared stories about Jameis Winston’s locker room energy and discussed his vision for the Patriots moving forward.

Next, the guys caught up with quarterback Drake Maye, who was entering his second year in the league, as he reflected on his rookie season, his NFL Draft experience, and what it was like becoming the starter midway through the year. Drake also talked about how Coach Vrabel kept him on his toes and helped him grow as a young quarterback.

Linebacker Robert Spillane joined the show to share his incredible journey from an NFL open tryout to earning a $33 million contract. Spillane reflected on his grind, his early years with the Titans, and the passion that kept him chasing his NFL dream.

To wrap up the Patriots stop, Mack Hollins joined the boys to explain why he never wears shoes, how a random meeting with Australians shifted his mindset, and how close he came to walking away from the game.

If you missed this one over the summer, it’s a must-listen. And if you already heard it, it’s definitely worth running back again. Enjoy, boys.

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.

The Boys Survived The Ice Storm & Will Compton Goes Toe To Toe With AT&T | For The Dads

Recorded: January 26th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan welcomes Josh “The Weatherman” Pate for a conversation that somehow blends natural disasters with college football chaos — perfectly on brand. The show opens with Taylor breaking down why it is just him on the show as Will is stuck without power and phone service. Josh joins Taylor to breakdown what exactly made Winter Storm Fern so dangerous and catastrophic. He gets into the science behind freezing rain, why it’s so dangerous, and what it means for cities like Nashville when Mother Nature decides to go nuclear.

Once the storms pass, it’s time to talk ball. The boys react to the CFP National Championship and give their biggest takeaways from the title game, including what it means for the future of the power balance in college football. They debate whether Indiana’s run is a flash in the pan or a sign of real staying power, and question if Miami is headed for a tougher road than expected next season.

To wrap it up, the crew looks ahead at some of the sport’s biggest brands and their outlooks moving forward. Michigan and Alabama both get the microscope as the boys break down expectations, pressure, and what success looks like next year. As well as what it will look like for Ohio State after they hired Arthur Smith and what that move could mean for the Buckeyes offensively. If you are in need of an escape from everything, look no further than here. Come join the boys for a fun hang and fun listen. Please stay safe out there and as always, big hugs tiny kisses.
