Summary

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!
