Recorded: MARCH 10th, 2025 Former 10-year NFL linebacker Will Compton and 4x Pro Bowler Taylor Lewan host comedians, Stoke Lords, and activists Chad Kroeger and Strider Wilson, two of the legendary voices behind Podcast & Netflix series Going Deep with Chad & JT. The boys dive deep into surf culture, saving the stoke, and spreading good vibes while tackling some of the most pressing issues—like catching a good tan, perineum sunning, and, of course, whether The Fast and the Furious films slap or not. Will and Taylor also break down all the latest free agency movement in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers from the New York Jets?! Marcus Mariota possibly back to Nashville with the Tennessee Titans?! Josh Allen lands a RECORD deal with the Buffalo Bills, and Myles Garrett is officially the highest paid non-QB in the entire league with the Cleveland Browns. Will is already doubting Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, and The Bus is HIGH on the Los Angels Rams, and Las Vegas Raiders this year. Make sure to like, subscribe, and let us know who we should have on the bus next! As always, BIG hugs, and *leans in slowly* an incy wincy lil kiss!
