Will out here making me tear up watching this. Love you bro
Same
Same here! I was so pissed when people gave Compton shit on twitter when he stepped away when his mom passed. At the time they didn’t say why he was gonna miss time and people were brutal online.
Waller been through some much shit in his life, while will is balling, waller stood stone faced and didnt shed a tear. I was crying along with him. May your mother always rest in peace brother.
Broncos fan here... gotta say I Love Waller for speaking out on his personal struggles over the years... makes other who have gone through similar things much more comfortable accepting and trying to better themselves just like Darren seems to be doing. 🙌🏼🙏
Respect brotha
@@justinm878 👊
Respect from a Raiders fan. We are both fans of a team in the greatest sport in the world!
@@deanoworley Raiders fan here. Respect to you for those kind words towards a good man, son, brother, son and football player. I respect that.
Still hate the Broncos lol. Good luck to you.
Being a Broncos fan makes having Will and Darren as two of my favorite guys in the NFL a verrrry complicated relationship! 😆
Could listen to these dudes all day. Just need Darren to have two off-games a year. He can ball out for the rest of em! 🤘🏻
Waller is such a real dude. Love his attitude and honesty about personal ambitions and what’s good for the team etc
God will restore your spirit Compt and Mister 83? You will get paid by our Raiders!!!! We declare this in Jesus’s name…
The OG Darren waller was one of the best bussin episodes ever, 🍿
Will is the greatest linebacker of all time. #ForTheAlgorithm
Loved this episode. loved the raw emotion from Will. It hit home RIP momma Compton
Listening to this and crying on the elliptical machine at the gym, sweating my 50 year old ass off and wiping away tears as well. Comp, when it comes to mommas, all bets are off buddy, cry all you want. Glad that came out. My favorite episode ever……
Thank Chucky - Jon Gruden for giving him a chance, TOO! #chuckylives
Darren definitely one of the best stories in the NFL
Shout out will showing his emotions ❤️. I’m glad he shared that, it’s okay to have a grown man show that side of him especially when talkin about your momma. RIP Miss Compton
Damn Will you got me tearing up while I’m driving…Great interview
Yo it’s the 12th!! Cheers on 5 years Darren you’re my favorite player. I’m so damn appreciative of what you’ve brought to my life and the raiders. Keep keepin on my man
Darren is such a great dude overcoming addiction and really cares for ppl around him top tier dude
I struggle with my own mental health a lot and I absolutely love going on trips alone but always got called weird for doing it and enjoying it so to hear I’m not alone is super dope
I feel you will. I lost my mom 3yrs ago. It never goes away. You made me cry bro. It hurts, but life doesn't stop for us. We gotta keep pushin bro.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom is forever your guardian Angel. She is always watching over you and protecting you. She is so proud of how far you’ve come. God Bless you!!♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼 you are so strong!!
Love the realness out of you Will. You're a real one.
You had a good mother that made you a great man. ❤️
Nothing but love for you Boyz! Stay strong Will. I lost my wife of 25 years last September and every Sunday we would watch our team the Raiders. She was a huge D-Wall fan, so this interview really hit home. Never forget.
God Bless you both.

The boys are the hardest working pod around. Always putting out 🔥 content
If you aren’t for em you’re against em 🐺
This interview is so perfect, it’s so much bigger then a game.
Walker’s openness and wisdom are jarring. That he has come so far is amazing, but his willingness to share is stunning. And Will, condolences and can see you pain in dealing with your Moms passing, but getting it out is the path forward.
Jim Valvano said, "If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. Thats a heck of a day."
Thank you Bussin for completing my day. Powerful stuff here. RIP momma Compton.
I love seeing this side of athletes, some people don't realize but they're humans at the end of the day. Great episode!
i really appreciate the vulnerability and honesty in this conversation. thank you darren and will for being true to yourselves and speaking on difficult topics with grace.
Top notch episode boys!!! 👏👏 Keep up the great work!!!
Watching Comp get emotional got me in the feels about my dad, respect bro 💪🏻… fierce melon is tier 1!!
Real honest emotion seems so rare these days, its amazing to see it shared so freely like this.
Thank you Will and Darren.
Love Darren's honesty and realness, as always. Congrats to him on his five-year anniversary.
And big shout-out to Will for the vulnerability.
I've never seen him like this, and it humanizes him in a different way.
Thanks for showing your true self in those tough moments on this episode, Will. Had me in my feels too. Thanks Darren for being understanding and allowing people to take their time.
Damn man. Cried watching this, lost my dad 8-12-2012 lost my mom 2-13-19 so much good life advice in this, Waller is my favorite NFL player but as cliched as it is he is truly a better man.
We love you will!! Your moms energy and spirit lives every day through you!!
Will I had a similar situation with my mom. I appreciate you sharing. My two daughters miss there grandma so much. #mommasboy
Thank you guys for this episode, realest episode of a podcast ever.
Needed this one. Sure many fans/listeners agree too. Thanks again boys. True gem
Will appreciate you being so vulnerable, grief is so hard and the hurt is real! Never hide those feelings or be ashamed.
Aye much respect Will Comp... I know the exact same feeling bro and nothing but love for being able to show it💯I lost my pops the same way a few years back. Everything was completely normal and then out of no where he just collapsed one day in my arms and it was over... Never gets better but letting them feelings out fasho helps
Waller needs to be a re-occurring guest once a year at the minimum
Loving the vibes lately, keep it going
Darren’s prob the goat at na meetings. I love how he let you sit with your emotions, rather than just talking t break silence. It’s a huge part of my sobriety, I had to learn that you’re supposed to feel things rather than blocking them out. ❤️
Congratulations on 5 years D WALL!!! Love the pod and shoutout to all mommas❤️❤️
Excellent interview! This was great man
Darren Waller is an incredible human being. I’ll be rooting for him with pride now. Also so cool to see Will be real and genuine too. Both of them showing their emotions and being serious like that. Great stuff.
GREAT interview
Amazing episode boys... Willy getting tore up couldn't help me from getting emotional with him and feeling that pain.. Also, free S/O D Waller for taking to us along his path to sobriety and how he maintains it moving forward. This episode will help more of the boys than y'all realize.
Great interview will there is love between these warriors.respect..
Great episode!
Waller Pods are always 🔥🔥🔥
Great interview 🙌🙌🙌
Much respect will Compton. You are my new favorite player. Also my new favorite podcast.
Man I love this pod so much and my emotions are all over the place. I lost my dear saint of a mother March 11. I’m so grateful she saw me clean before she died. Ironically august 12 2019( Darren’s sobriety date) was the last time I shot heroin and coke and Mrs comps bday the 13 is my official clean date. I love the vulnerability shown on this episode and hearing how you guys lift each other up. I’m truly grateful for to be a tier 1 member🙏💯💪
Telling my mom I love her b/c of this. Love the show, mad respect Will. GBR
Unreal episode boys. 2 good guys through and through

Legend! Love waller and hope he’s a raider for life. Thanks boys
Love the vulnerability here! And shout out to Waller for referencing The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, slowing down life creates space for you to love people better as we’re called to. Awesome chat boys
Darren is laid back and in his element just chopping it up. Good job on Will for that. Thats what good interviewers do. Dope interview
Boys! The back to school merch is 🔥🔥🔥 keep on keepin on! life a garden , dig it
That moment between Waller and Comp when he mentioned a beat he made for his mom made me tear up man 🥺. That fist bump was beautiful
Wishing Darren the best I truly hope he wins in every aspect of life
Killer Pod. Appreciated the opportunity to interview fellas 🤝
Great job Will. It's always great to see Raiders on the bus especially Waller. RIP Momma Compton. No need to apologize or feel embarrassed by crying Will. There's nothing wrong with it. Hell, I teared up watching you and it reminded me when I lost my Dad and that was almost 18 years ago. Also the interview with Foster was great as well.
The love Will has for his mom is so evident, condolence’s brother R.I.P. Kathy Compton 🙏.
Best podcast yet
Congrats on the 5 years D Wall, keep doing what ur doing. Ur a great inspiration man. Dope show boys!
Incredible. Darren Waller is always the best.
Great show one of the best ones. Rip Momma Compton 🙏

Waller my boy keeps me inspired one day at a time
Love the real emotion of this interview. Let’s have TEs and have real convos. Tier 1 forever. Beer on me if you come to Lex for a Kentucky football game. Loss a parent and had a addiction so this one hits close.

My fav player! Man continues to inspire me 🏴☠️
Sorry for your loss, Compt!! Heartbreaking
Free shoutout emotional Willy. Always proud of the boys opening up on the pod, helps a lot of us
Most underrated podcast !! 🔥🔥🔥
The boys are the best!
This episode hits deep…. Much respect to the bus. Also super under rated is the cold Gatorade when you wake up banged up from a night out with the boys
Will you and Taylor inspire me constantly and I truly look up to both of you
Sorry to say I’d never heard of Will or Taylor before I saw the link on twitter to see the first Darren pod. It was amazing and this episode rates right up there with that one. Now I
can say I’ve seen them all and never
miss an episode. This one touched
me deep tonight. I lost my sister to cancer in February and Friday was her birthday so Will had me ugly
crying on my drive home. Darren you are an inspiration to all. Go Raiders!
Taylor good luck this season I’m sure all your hard work will pay off.
The part about Will's mom choked me up and got me crying. From the end of March 2022 to may 31st I lost my Grandpa, Grandma and one of my best friends. I was a grandma's boy and I was my grandpa's first and favorite grandson and we were very close as well. And then I lost my best friend from the age of 18 and I'm now 37. Losing family or friends are never easy. So much love and prayers to anyone who has lost a loved one.
RIP Brian "Gramps" , Rita " Grams" and Travis "BFF"
I love you guys and miss you every day.
Man this was a good ass Episode!!!
Fire pod
Love the content and how you guys show your just on of the Boys and keep reel.☠️☠️☠️ Raider Nation ☠️ ☠️ ☠️
The boy Will carrying the pod respect man
God Bless You My Bro Will
I’m the biggest Momma’s Boy
I Cherish Her❤️ everyday and always will🙏🏽💯
In the goals and principles sections D-Wall said he started having thoughts of "theses guys don't need me" when the team was winning but his stats weren't there. I can say as a fan , we do need you, not just for your play ability but also your role-model and leadership abilities. Respect. #RN4L. 🏴☠️💪
Love this show
Great stuff
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 All Love Big Dawg!!
Thank you Will hearing you and how you deal with losing your mom really helps me with the loss of my dad
