Show notes
In the intro, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan talk about the fast-approaching NFL season, top league headlines, and entering full-blown dad mode. They also wrap up their summer internship program, bringing fan-favorite Big Cheese on for one last ride before school starts. The episode kicks off with a must-hear Mike Vrabel interview. The new Patriots head coach opens up about his firing from the Tennessee Titans, his brief stop in Cleveland, and what it’s like rebuilding the Patriots' culture. He even shares stories about Jameis Winston’s locker room energy and his goals for New England in 2025. Next, the guys sit down with rookie QB Drake Maye, the Patriots’ 2024 first-round pick, to talk about his NFL Draft experience, becoming the starter midseason, and how Coach Vrabel keeps him on his toes. Then, linebacker Robert Spillane joins the show to share his unbelievable journey from NFL open tryout to landing a $33 million contract. Spillane reflects on his grind, early years with the Titans, and passion for football. To wrap the Patriots stop, Mack Hollins (aka the Barefoot King) hops on to talk about why he never wears shoes, how a random meeting with Australians shifted his mindset, and how close he came to retiring from the game. This episode is packed with exclusive NFL interviews, underdog stories, and real-life inspiration — from Vrabel’s coaching philosophy to Drake Maye’s rookie development and Mack Hollins’ unique lifestyle. Don’t miss it.
