Recorded: November 04, 2024

San Diego Chargers Defensive Legend Shawne Merriman joins Will Compton and Taylor Lewan for Episode 301 of Bussin' with the Boys! Shawne Merriman discusses his time at Maryland University, and the Buffalo Bills. Merriman then dives into his journey from a tough upbringing to becoming one of the most feared pass rushers in the league. He shares stories from his days with the San Diego Chargers, including his signature "Lights Out" sack dance, iconic clashes with NFL legends, Jason Taylor, Lorenzo Neal and Phillip Rivers to name a few. As well as what it took to play at an elite level from a mental perspective.

But it’s not all football; Merriman opens up about his early retirement due to injuries, the mental and physical toll of the game, and how he's channeled his energy into new ventures, from launching his "Lights Out" brand to his passion for MMA. He talks about the challenges and rewards of transitioning to life after the NFL, the lessons he learned on and off the field, and why giving back through his Lights Out Foundation means so much to him. Light Out Extreme Fighting and Lights Out TV Streaming Platform are also making huge moves in 2024 & 2025 to establish themselves in the Digital Media Sports Industry.

- Dad brain strikes again (a missing bottle and a 4.5-star Yelp review for Willy C)

- Baby boy Compton is already working on his three-point stance

- Sherm's popcorn-and-ice-cream move that "fixed" Jill

Other highlights include:
Halloween Dad Hacks, including the Candy Fairy

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.
