Welcome to another episode of For The Dads, where hosts Will Compton and Sherm break down everything you need to know about football season survival and Will’s MASSIVE Husband Loss—because being a dad isn't easy!

In this episode, Will and Sherm dive into how to successfully plan your weekends during football season, how to handle the emotional rollercoaster when your team loses, and why setting expectations with your spouse is crucial for a smooth season. Plus, the boys talk about balancing family time and football fandom, especially when there’s a new baby on the way!

To kick things off, Will and Sherm catch up with Papa Team 6 before jumping into a hilarious story about accountability when Will puts off putting up a shelf in his daughter’s room. Then it’s all about football. Will talks about setting expectations with your wife for the weekend game schedule, while Sherm opens up about his worries that his infant daughter might cut into his football time.

The guys also share some fan-submitted stories in Dad Losses, crack a cold one to celebrate seeing your kids after a business trip, and recount their adventures at the county fair. Plus, a surprise call from across the seas wraps up the show. And to finish, Sherm shares his first solo dad lesson—with an epic twist from his favorite Lord of the Rings scene.

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 soon-to-be dad who’s currently enjoying his last few months of uninterrupted sleep and freedom. 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.
