Will's Medical Emergency

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]last week. We'll dive into that stuff.

[00:00:02]Um, I also have some follow-ups that'll help kick this off because on last week's episode, if you guys tuned in, especially if you listen to the whole thing, I get into how I pissed the bed over the weekend. Last last weekend, not this past week. Yeah, PT Piss.

[00:00:18]>> I do feel like I have some new some updates with pissing the bed. An answer possibly that I feel like I came across.

[00:00:27]Yeah, you actually do >> because I was signaling to the world last week like I was curious if there are bed wetters out there at the age of 36 with father of two if there are other bed wetters out there because there's a part of me it's like yeah it's embarrassing it's [ __ ] >> a little insecure about it but I'm this is the safe space we're in the trust tree on for the dads and papa team six and the moms that listen like you guys out there that have your giggles like just know that I am insecure talking about it >> but also I feel safe with you guys >> and I want you to know. I think you you already know this. I laugh because you make me laugh about it.

[00:01:03]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I No, I know. I know.

[00:01:05]I know. I know.

[00:01:06]>> Um here's a great followup from Coach Webb 9903. And I saw this comment last week and it did make me laugh out loud.

[00:01:13]>> Repeat offender. By the way, Coach Webb, >> between Will's math acumen, bedwedding, remember I put that math problem together, math acumen, bedwedding, and incredible successes in multiple careers. It would be a crime not to donate his body to science after his passing.

[00:01:35]>> Oh, that's a good comment, >> Coach.

[00:01:38]>> Coach Web, that's a good com.

[00:01:39]>> Thank you for writing into this.

[00:01:41]>> Yeah, dude.

[00:01:44]>> So, >> oh my gosh.

[00:01:46]>> As you guys know, I pissed the bed for a very long time. Up until about 14, it started to trickle off. But there's spots, there's moments to where I've still kind of pissed the bed. Usually I wake myself up when I'm in the middle of a piss and this is like a couple times a year.

[00:01:57]>> Yeah.

[00:01:58]>> Not that that makes it any better, but with with my with MY AGE, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S going on, you know?

[00:02:04]We're just dealing with it.

[00:02:06]>> LA and last weekend I just pissed the bed fully. I've also learned um how do I even how do I even set this up? Let me take you back to 2018 free agency.

[00:02:17]>> Dude, >> when I was getting a physical with the Buffalo Bills, and I've spoken about this on Busting with the Boys. I've spoken about this before. I even think we did a vlog and under the hood where I went on a doctor's visit back in like 2020 or 2021 whenever I got a brain MRI.

[00:02:31]>> Yeah.

[00:02:31]>> But when I was in free agency and they were giving me a physical, so they're doing all my scans, all my MRIs from previous injuries, I would have stinger issue. I've had stingers before. I've had concussions. I've had uh a spinal cord concussion. That sounds way worse than how it sounds. And so they're just they're just scanning me in case I were to sign with the Buffalo Bills.

[00:02:54]>> They're checking their investment.

[00:02:56]>> Yeah, they're checking their investment.

[00:02:57]It felt like it was going to be a promising visit to where when I I was going to leave Buffalo on that free agent visit to where I was going to have a contract with Buffalo. And they're doing my scans. They do a C-spine MRI.

[00:03:10]Very uh very normal, very common. And I'm meeting with the defensive coordinator, Coach Frasier. I'm meeting with the linebacker coach. And I'm actually in the middle of watching film about their defensive philosophy, where I fit in, where I fit in their scheme, all of these things. An athletic trainer comes in the room. Knock knock. Hey coach, do you mind if we pull Will out uh for a little bit? Absolutely. Do you know when we're going to get him back?

[00:03:36]We don't know right now, but we will let you know as soon as we, you know, as soon as we talk to Will.

[00:03:42]>> Row.

[00:03:42]>> Rutro is right.

[00:03:44]>> Yeah.

[00:03:44]>> I'm sitting there. I'm like, "Okay, that's kind of weird." um go into the training room. They have my C-spine MRI up on the the white highlighted where you know they got the scans on the deal and they're like, "Do you see this white mass?" And obviously I'll have the photo to chef so he can have it up on the screen while I'm talking through this.

[00:04:03]>> He's like, "Do you see this white mass that is in your brain?" At that moment, it was we don't know what this is. I'm not a um I'm not a uh what is it?

[00:04:14]Neurologist.

[00:04:14]>> I'm not a brain doctor.

[00:04:16]>> Yeah. I'm not a brain doctor. And they're like, we don't know what this is and we would like to get another MRI on your brain to fully understand the entire picture. And I'm like, okay. So, yada yada yada. And the doc tells me, we're not talking about football right now. We are talking about this could be a tumor. This could be cancerous. We don't know. And I obviously like those are scary things that I'm telling you, but we just need to get an MRI as soon as possible. So I asked the doctor, "All right, do I need to get one here?" And he's like, "I recommend we fly you back to DC cuz I was with the Washington Redskins at the time. Recommend we fly you back to DC so you can be around people that are closer in your circle." So antennas are going up in my brain like, "Oh [ __ ] >> this seems like a pretty severe thing that's happening that they just don't know about." And I see this white mass just sitting on my brain. You're looking at the scan thinking, "Holy fuck." Like, and for audio listeners that didn't see the image pop up on the screen, we're talking like a dollarsized coin mass.

[00:05:17]Like, this isn't like a little freckle that's like, "Oh, what is that?" This is like >> Yeah. Something where if you were looking at your brain, you were having this conversation. You didn't know anything was going on in your brain.

[00:05:28]You've been playing football. You've been doing all these things to see this little white mass, it's like popping off the screen.

[00:05:33]>> Yeah.

[00:05:34]>> So, I go back. I get a contrast MRI with the with the radiologists. They where they inject IV, they see if anything's lighting up to see if they can figure out if it's going to be a tumor or not.

[00:05:44]I then after this MRI, I'm walking upstairs. As I'm walking upstairs, I hear the radiologist on the phone with our team doctor, the Washington team doctor at the time, and he's alluding to I think we have to get this cut out and ship it off to a lab to see exactly what it is. He's under the impression that it is a tumor at the time. I end up walking in the door as he's on the phone and he's like, "Okay, he's in here. I gotta go."

[00:06:09]>> Walks in and I'm like, "Doc, >> great conversation to overhear."

[00:06:12]>> Yeah. And I'm like, "Uh, hey doc, like we can just cut straight through the [ __ ] Like, just tell me what I'm looking at." He's like, "Well, I think that you have a tumor in your brain that we need to get removed and ship it off to a lab to fully understand what it is." And I'm kind of sitting there like in a haze, right? Like everything's kind of quiet. ies kind of thought like picture the the the echo voices in the background and you're kind of just staring at this scan of your brain and then he starts talking like but hey we can once we get this cut out there's like a titanium plate that we can put in and you can still play you can do all the things and I'm like hey dog no disrespect but if this is like a tumor if this is something that's bad like the f like the first thing I'm thinking about is not putting my helmet back is putting my helmet on and getting back in an Oklahoma drill.

[00:06:57]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:58]And so I talked to the team doctor after that visit. They're like, "Hey, we're shipping it off to surgeons. We're shipping it off to people to get the best eyes on it to get as much feedback and as much information as we can on it." So I'm kind of sitting on ice for the next 48 hours. Like I'm not telling my Charles is my wife is my girlfriend at the time. She's at the Philippines on vacation. I'm not telling her because I don't want to upend what she's going what she's doing currently and then make it it's like make it all about you when we don't know the entire picture. Yeah.

[00:07:26]I'm on the phone with my dad. It's emotional with my dad. Don't Hey, don't tell my mom and uh until we know.

[00:07:33]Neurosurgeon calls me like 48 hours later. It was about 4:00 or 5 in the morning. Calls me. I'm awake. I sit there and answer the phone. He's like, "Will, I'm sure you've been stressing about this. I wanted to shut down all the stress right now. Like that this is not a tumor. This is a cyst that I believe has been in your brain since birth. I went back through all of your previous MRIs dated back to 2014 when you were on Washington. they must have missed it because it is in there. It is a hard thing to see unless you're going through unless you're thumbming through it to look for a cyst or a tumor in your brain because when I was getting those scans for Washington, we're checking on things after a concussion or we're checking on things after.

[00:08:11]>> Yes.

[00:08:12]>> And so very easy to miss. But I just want to put it to bed there is not a tumor in your brain. This is a cyst that's been in your cerebellum that in like pediatric terms that leads me to believe that this has been in your head your entire life.

[00:08:24]>> Dang. All we've had to do is make sure year in and year out is I go and get an MRI. I've missed I haven't got an MRI on my brain since 2021. So when you're looking at that photo, you see 2019 that's a smallest when I was on the Titans and they checked it out 2021 to where it got barely any bigger. Now all the way to 2026 I just got it. It has grown a little bit.

[00:08:47]>> Yeah.

[00:08:47]>> Now, all to say, there's nothing to worry about. As of right now, everything is the exact same, tested out the same, my symptoms are fine, all of these things to where we're just going to have to monitor it. If it gets big enough, it's something to where I could be a brain surgery candidate. But even when I'm a brain surgery candidate, there something you can go in and kind of pop or drain like it's a water balloon, get it removed, I'm your boy's going to be all good. We're all good to go.

[00:09:12]>> It's brought us all the way back to this moment. I broke that down for you because who knows if you guys were curious when especially when you see a scan come up and it's like what is going on with Willie C with Willie one shelf.

[00:09:23]Here's what we've learned cuz Dee did some research on the internet because when I was putting together wet wetting the bed I'm thinking okay apnea people could be in the state to where the communication from the brain and the bladder can shut off and I can pee the bed. But what we learned with the cyst is that the cyst could play a big factor in my communication from brain to bladder. And now I I legitimately feel like I have a saw for why I've been why I've wet the bed. Yes.

[00:09:53]>> On occasion throughout my entire life >> and where it's located in the brain, it sounded like from De's uh research is that would make perfect sense of >> Dee, are you able to do you remember the breakdown? Okay, >> here's how I word it. I have exactly what I googled and exactly what I reiterated. So if there are doctors out there, medical people, >> we're us.

[00:10:16]>> PTMD.

[00:10:17]>> Yeah. Yeah. Uh so the thing we have is yes, a brain cyst can cause bedwedding.

[00:10:22]Nocturnal inurysis, I'm sure I'm pronouncing that wrong, especially if it grows large enough to increase inial pressure or disrupt the nerves or hormones and regulate bladder function.

[00:10:33]Basically, it could be something in your brain that is stopping the our traditional stall point of our bladders because we, you know, god forbid we don't have brain cyst. Like there is logical explanation that a brain cyst could be the disruptor between your body holding your bladder and your body just not knowing when to pee or when not to pee. So there is basic and I mean this is from the National Institute of Health. It's gov which means it has to be right.

[00:10:58]>> And you're a PhD.

[00:10:59]>> It has to be. I'm PhD. PhD broke >> from all of my internet research. This is the exact reason Will Compton What's the Bed PhD got?

[00:11:08]>> This to me when you told me that and I broke it down cuz I got this brain MRI on >> uh Thursday I believe or Friday morning I came into the shop or this before Nate Barati came on cuz I had the u the IV the little tape to stop the bleeding.

[00:11:22]>> Yes.

[00:11:23]>> But we're breaking it down. I'm like fellas this could be a reason I went to bed. And then when Dee broke all that down, I'm like, "Oh, buddy." And Shaw Shank Redemption just getting out of the tunnels, rain falling down on my face like freedom. Cuz in my mind, I'm like, "This is this is the only explanation."

[00:11:40]You you're sitting there, and I say this jokingly, but you are sitting there thinking, "I'm just this big old goof that can't get it right with the wedding, the bed."

[00:11:51]>> Yeah.

[00:11:51]>> And I guess that that's just me, Will Compton. I'm a PT pisser. I'm a PT pisser >> with no no answers as to why you are gonna be a couple times a year where I piss the bed and I I I don't know.

[00:12:04]>> It is what it is. I'm a pisser.

[00:12:07]>> Got to own it. Nay.

[00:12:08]>> But now >> we have answers.

[00:12:13]>> We have some answers.

[00:12:14]>> And that was uh that was one hell of a thing to have your boss come up to you as it's a big day. Nate Barati or Baretti is coming.

[00:12:20]>> Baretti. Yeah. And uh you know I gotta be on my P's and Q's and be locked in and I walk in and you have a arm strap already on you from your hospital.

[00:12:31]>> Just signaling that I I'm a survivor.

[00:12:33]>> And you come up to me and go, WE SOLVED THE BED WEDDINGS.

[00:12:39]That was your opening line. You go, WE SOLVED THE BED WEDDING.

[00:12:45]>> I I legitimately I feel like we solved my bed wedding.

[00:12:49]>> We did though. We did. And that was just an incredible I'll always remember that quote from my boss of walking into work and hey we solved the bed wedding >> because there was nobody that's like letting me know in the comments that they've got this issue. Yeah. I got one here from uh Trevor John that says I [ __ ] my pants a couple years ago.

[00:13:06]Hashpatam [ __ ] He's trying to he's trying to come for me. Hey I [ __ ] my pants.

[00:13:10]>> Tell him papa team [ __ ] I would love toh join that.

[00:13:15]>> Yeah >> I last year I [ __ ] my pants here at the office. Yeah.

[00:13:19]>> Papa team [ __ ] >> You guys are either just [ __ ] or you got to assist.

[00:13:24]>> Yeah. Or you you know some like Frank Frank Hall uh 6603 was kind enough and honest enough and bold enough to share with us. He said uh fellow PT piss member here. Been clean for about a year or so though. I did regularly wear pull-ups to bed until about 13 years old. Very embarrassing.

[00:13:49]Dee followed up on the for the dads. I >> You're not alone. Frank's >> Dude, I feel you. The diaper like that's that's >> my heart goes out to like I just pissed through the underwear and the shorts and everything else. I would have to I I know I know my man. He feared anytime he did a sleepover.

[00:14:07]>> Yeah.

[00:14:09]>> Nicel looking guy too in his photo. He's he's with his wife and very nice looking man. Uh Dee follows up on with the for the dads account and says, "Any advice for Willie on overcoming this?"

[00:14:23]Frank instantly replied. Frank said, "Definitely watch the fluid intake within 2 hours of going to bed would be uh one PT piss or to another's uh solve."

[00:14:35]>> Yeah.

[00:14:35]>> For the matter. Thank you.

[00:14:36]>> Cuz my man, he knows when he went to the doctor at that young age where he was having those issues, the doc would tell you, "Hey, no Kool-Aid or anything after seven.

[00:14:46]which is a shot to the heart.

[00:14:47]>> That's a shot to the heart. That's when you get your last little Capri Sun, dude.

[00:14:53]>> Oh, I'm a little thirsty.

[00:14:54]>> You're taking my drinks away post 700 p.m.

[00:14:56]>> Uh-huh.

[00:14:58]>> So, I feel my man. And he's he's right.

[00:15:00]It's like, you know, not that I'm like thinking about it, but I do like obviously I'm very minimal before going to bed, like drinking water and everything. My My wife houses water before bed. She's like, "Why aren't you drinking water?" I never say, but I'm like, >> I already had some.

[00:15:15]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:15:16]>> Already had some.

[00:15:17]>> I don't want it to be a long night.

[00:15:19]>> I'm so good. Um I also very quickly some housekeeping. Some housekeeping.

[00:15:25]>> Real quick before you do that, I do have a question about peeing if you're comfortable. Do you have dreams that you are peeing and then you wake up to be peeing? Because I've heard that >> every now and then occasionally it'll be it'll be part of that. But a lot of times like when I would wake up, you know, not this last one that happened last weekend to where I'm like telling the world like I wet the bed. That one I like I just woke up and I'm like, "Holy shit." Usually what happens is is I'm in a dream and it's usually like an intense dream and I'll like kind of like wake up like I'm fighting something and then I realize it's like I'm fighting my blood.

[00:16:00]I need to hurry up and I I've just been sprinkling over the p I don't know how long, but I've been like sprinkling to where one side is a little wet and then I'll go like I was saying last week and I'll I'll examine or audit is this too much to get back in bed to where I need to change my underwear. It's usually in the middle of the night. So, I'll go to the bathroom, see if I need to change my underwear. Sometimes I don't have to change my underwear. It's a little bit to where I just don't want to go through the process or want to hurry up and crawl back in bed and go back to sleep.

[00:16:26]>> Yeah.

[00:16:27]>> Um that's usually what happens. And again, that's like a couple times a year it'll just happen. This last one was a time where it was new to where I didn't I didn't catch myself. And Will, I forgot to tell this last time on the and I'm actually a little bit upset about it to join you in the PT piss talk.

[00:16:49]I pissed the bed my very first night in Nashville. And maybe that was just me throwing out the bat signal to you of like >> I'm here.

[00:16:59]>> I'm here. It's your boy Sherm. I feel like this work thing is gonna work out.

[00:17:03]I'm going to love working at busting with the boys. Maybe I pissed the bed a little bit.

[00:17:07]>> Yeah. Like it's like the the avatars and their their ponytails are connected.

[00:17:11]You're connect. We're connected.

[00:17:12]>> Connected. And I uh dude, I chocked it up to being exhausted. I had no idea what the reasoning for that was cuz I never do it. And um >> get your brain checked out.

[00:17:25]>> Yeah, I kind of now now I've got like Oh no.

[00:17:29]>> Doc said the doc was telling me he's like look man you have zero symptoms this the cyst even though it is bigger.

[00:17:35]>> Yeah.

[00:17:36]>> He's like um intelligence and rationality tells us this could continue to grow but it might not continue to grow. Oh I'm just thinking dude it's grown each time. Now it's been five years since my last. Clearly it's grown >> not like a lot more but significantly more than what it was. So, I'm thinking this will continue to grow. And he's like, the only time you're going to know if we have to take it out is you're going to start having symptoms, whether it's balance, >> whether it's like you just get random headaches. And he's like, if you're telling me you don't have any of those, like everything else in your brain looks very clean. This is just a it's just a like a water balloon basically sitting in your brain. And he's like, it'll start pressing up on things to where then you'll start feeling symptoms.

[00:18:21]That's when we'll know. But if nothing's out of the ordinary now, I'm thinking I wonder if that's like out of the ordinary. But if I'm not pissing the bed consistently, I'm not thinking it's an ordinary thing.

[00:18:30]I That's just where I'm at. That's where I'm at on the entire brain update.

[00:18:37]Appreciate the update. And I will say this just so everybody in our audience doesn't think uh all three of us of Chef, Dee, and I are soulless. We are like, it's concerning. We're worried for you.

[00:18:51]>> Yeah. My wife's the same way. Yeah.

[00:18:53]Like, >> but in until something is to come up from the sis, there's really nothing.

[00:19:00]It's like, yeah, I just I have a cyst in my brain.

[00:19:03]>> Yeah.

[00:19:04]>> So, my wife's like, I need you to live for a long time. Trust me, sweetheart. I want to, too.

[00:19:08]>> Great idea.

[00:19:10]>> Great idea. I'm fully >> like I got to go get a CTA scan because he just wants the doc's like, "Look, and I'm not doing this because there's zero cause for concern." He's like, "I just want to be thorough."

[00:19:20]>> Yeah.

[00:19:21]>> And go through everything that we can to make sure this is still just intact.

[00:19:25]He's like, "Because again, man, you you have no symptoms >> and everything on the MRI is clean. You just you just have a cyst in your >> And I'm going to keep my eyes and ears open. I'm not saying that like in a joking way. Like I will truly keep my eyes and ears open.

[00:19:41]>> Please do.

[00:19:41]>> If I notice anything, I'm going to be like, "Willy, I just want to let you know."

[00:19:45]>> Yeah. There's clearly a high there's clearly a highlight film that you could put together of mental blunders that I've had over the years. AND >> HEY DOC, WATCH DOC, LET'S JUST WATCH this montage. Watch him do this math.

[00:20:00]Watch him not understand what sci-fi is.

[00:20:02]>> Get to the right answer. He's fine.

[00:20:04]WAIT, NO, DOC. HOLD ON. Did you watch the clip, though?

[00:20:07]>> Did you see how he got to >> We're going to throw in the ones where his brain kind of shuts off momentarily during all the podcasts that he's done.

[00:20:16]You're telling me it's all good, Doc.

[00:20:19]You're telling me everything's good?

[00:20:20]Yeah, that's Willie C. He's good. He's good. What? Like other people don't have that, which other people do. That's what I'm saying. Like I I joke about like your, you know, like you could call them Willy isms and like your moments and stuff, but if I did ever see something that was like concerning, I would be like, "Yo, brother, like get checked out." Cuz that is scary. You're like showing me the mask and being like everything's fine. And I'm like that looks really scary. It looks super scary.

[00:20:53]>> Is there any reason not to get it removed? Like is there any like logical reasoning that's like >> not to get it removed right now?

[00:21:01]>> Yeah. Just get it out of your head. Even if it's not there's nothing that's forming like the contrast MRI. You do the contrast MRI and put the die in to go up to your brain to see if anything like lights up to where it could be tumorous or a tumor could be forming.

[00:21:15]>> But nothing nothing is telling them that we have to get this cyst out of your brain because it's not it's not like it's >> it's not common, it's not uncommon. It's like this is like uh he's like people have like cysts in their brain, >> but some of them can form and develop and do all these things to where you got to get it removed. You have zero symptoms. you have zero anything based on all the extra tests that we've done that says like there's an issue going on with this cyst like it's benign the the border of the whole thing like as people see on the photo it's clean it's intact there's no like fraying there's nothing that says like we need to look at this right here >> in the cyst so you need to do this scan you need to do that scan like everything's came back to where it's like there's no reason to take this out of your of your head like there for him it's like surgery is is the last thing we want to And the only thing that's like keeping me from uh not freaking out, but like being overly worried about it is just a kid that I went to high school with that had a massive cyst like by his knee. And I mean he had it like all throughout high or middle school, high school. And he was like, "Yeah, the doctor said like I don't need it to be removed. So like it's just going to stay there until it needs to be removed." He put like smiley faces and stuff on it like with the Sharpie and it was just kind of like, "Oh yeah, he has a cyst on his knee."

[00:22:39]>> Yeah. Cuz surgery and anything is like the last line of defense.

[00:22:44]>> You have a torn labum or you have a tear somewhere. It's like if you can do things rehab wise, >> injection wise, things that help bring it all back intact so you don't have to go under the So you don't have to go under the knife.

[00:22:59]>> Yeah. You want to do those things before you even have to get if you don't have to go in for surgery, there's no >> there's no urgency to go in for surgery.

[00:23:07]>> Yeah. Feel like brain surgery wouldn't be fun. But >> it sound like saying brain surgery sounds scary. He's like if we ever have to go in, you'll get like a like a little uh like a little hockey stick, you know, what is it called?

[00:23:21]>> Incision.

[00:23:22]>> The incision. Little hockey stick incision. and we'll go in with a little needle and you'll go up like it's you're draining it or poking it and we'll just get we'll get it out of there. But that's when you start having symptoms or it's pressing up on things in your brain to where it's clearly having an effect on you right now. There's no you don't have any of that.

It was cancerous. But uh same thing where he it was starting to press parts of his brain. It's actually a really cool good perseverance story. But uh yeah, and he was like a bunch of things were coming out of that.

[00:24:08]>> I know. I'll get a chef scan.

[00:24:11]>> We're getting the chef scan right now.
