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. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: / Forthedadspod Twitter: / Forthedadspod Facebook: / Forthedadspod TikTok: / Forthedadspod LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- Drink Olipop - Buy any 2 cans of Olipop in store, and we'll pay you back for one.

Who were the BEST quarterbacks in the NFL this week? Some of the league's biggest names are making serious statements, and the quarterback conversation is getting more interesting every week. Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel is back with another episode of The Breakdown, revealing his Top 6 quarterbacks of the week and taking you inside the film to show what separates the good quarterbacks from the elite. This week's Top 6 QB Power Rankings feature Caleb Williams, Jordan Love, Michael Penix Jr., Joe Burrow, JJ McCarthy and Jared Goff. Who earned the No. 1 spot, and which quarterbacks are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the league? But the rankings are just the beginning. Chase turns on the tape for three in-depth quarterback breakdowns. CALEB WILLIAMS | IS HE BECOMING THE BEST QB IN THE NFL? Caleb Williams is making throws that simply don't seem possible. From his unbelievable ability to create outside the pocket to his chemistry with Ben Johnson's offense, the Bears quarterback is putting the entire NFL on notice. Chase breaks down the creativity, arm talent and decision-making that make Caleb one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in football. KYLER MURRAY | WHAT DOES THE FILM REALLY SHOW? Kyler Murray has always had the athleticism and arm talent to make special plays, but what does the film reveal about his quarterback play? Chase takes a closer look at Murray's pocket presence, accuracy, decision-making and ability to extend plays, examining what makes him dangerous and where he can improve. JJ MCCARTHY | IS HE THE REAL DEAL? JJ McCarthy is getting his opportunity to prove he belongs among the NFL's starting quarterbacks. Chase breaks down his confidence, ability to push the ball downfield and willingness to make throws without hesitation. Is McCarthy better than people are giving him credit for? With 14 years of NFL quarterback experience, Chase Daniel brings a perspective you won't find in a typical highlight reel. From reading defenses to understanding offensive schemes, The Breakdown shows you what is actually happening on the field and why it matters.
