Recorded: November 17th 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome on Robert Gallery, former No. 2 overall pick and Iowa legend, who joins the show for a raw, emotional, and deeply honest interview. He talks about growing up as a Big Ten boy, his recruiting journey, and the moment he realized the NFL was actually possible. From his Draft and Combine experience to stories about Kirk Ferentz, Warren Sapp, and JaMarcus Russell, Robert paints a full picture of life in the league during his career with Raiders. But where this episode truly hits different is when Robert opens up about the mental health battles he faced while playing. He shares what led to his retirement, the moment he hit rock bottom, and how he eventually found the strength to start helping himself. Robert walks The Boys through his Ibogaine experience, DMT trip, and the long journey toward healing his brain, rebuilding his marriage, and finding purpose through the Vet Solutions Foundation. Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses!

The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys. And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl. ----- FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bussinwtb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BussinWTB Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BussinWTB/ LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS FanDuel: Sign Up for FanDuel: fanduel.com/bussin Check out FanDuel Promos: https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/promotions Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.
