Will berates Sherm for keeping him up playing video games as he was on the night shift for Scarlett. Then, Will talks about his daughters competitive nature growing and becoming like her dad, even going as far as trying to cheat to win. Will and Sherm then talk about dad hacks, including adding protein to food for kids and singing to pass the time by late at night. The boys then listen to call-ins with the first ever international call in, hailing from Australia. To wrap up the show Will shares a lesson on the importance of showing resilience to your child.
Buckle up, this week was a doozy… Hope You Enjoy!
This week on For The Dads, Sherman opens up about his first full week of fatherhood, sharing both the early wins and the inevitable dad fails that come with newborn life. Will doesn't let him off easy, especially after finding out Sherm kept him up late playing video games while he was supposed to be on the night shift with baby Scarlett. The conversation takes a hilarious turn as Will shares how his daughter's competitive spirit is ramping up—so much so that she’s already trying to cheat her way to victory, just like her old man.
As always, the guys drop some practical (and questionable) dad hacks, including how to sneak protein into kid meals and why singing random songs at 2 AM might just save your sanity. Later in the episode, they react to listener call-ins from fellow dads, featuring the show’s very first international call from Australia. To close things out, Will delivers a heartfelt reflection on how important it is to model resilience for your kids, especially during the tougher parenting moments.
It’s a raw, funny, and honest dive into what real-life parenting looks like. Whether you’re a new dad, a veteran parent, or just here for the laughs, this episode’s packed with relatable
moments and dad wisdom you won't want to miss. We tried to keep it under an hour.... and we might've once again fell short of that goal. Hope you enjoy!

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.
