Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What up? What up? What up? Welcome back to the Bad Podcast. Brad and Dwayne in here, another episode. My brother Brad. What are we talking about today, my friend? [00:00:09] Speaker B: I'm going real raw, uncut. [00:00:11] Speaker A: This is. [00:00:12] Speaker B: This is exclusive. So some. Some of the. Some of the. The die hard. Some of the faithful that follow us religiously, they know that I'm working on my second book called Prep Rap Forever, the Uncommon Iron Will. So I'm going to give you a sneak peek. This is right in the introduction. So when I announced my ride publicly, immediately my phone blew up. Emails, text messages, calls, social media comments, some cheers, some feared, some doubted. Some doubted. And others just smiled, shaking their heads, thinking, classic Brad. That response was fueled not because I needed the validation, but because I knew I was stepping into a new chapter. Today we're going to talk about improbability, not impossibility. [00:00:54] Speaker A: Mmm. Let's get it. [00:00:59] Speaker B: Are you ready? Are you ready? [00:01:15] Speaker A: What it looked like? Would it be like? What it do? Back in here, another episode of the Bad Podcast. Brad and Dwayne shout out to Tim, man. Tim says he know his Monday is a Monday when he hear what it looked like, what it be like, and what. [00:01:28] Speaker B: What it do. [00:01:31] Speaker A: Happy Monday, brother. Happy Monday to everybody, man. We're super excited to be in here. This is after our amazing New Jersey meetup, man. We had an amazing time. Shout out to. To New Jersey. They did their thing, man. The people showed up, man. They showed love, you know, and. And it's so awesome, brother. I don't care how many times I hear it. I love hearing. I love the podcast. Like, bro. [00:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:54] Speaker A: I'm like, yo, because. To me, because, you know, I'll be real. We. We real rap, bro. My YouTube numbers aren't where I wanted to be for. For our show. And I'm like, man, where are all these people listening? So shout out to you. I appreciate you listening, but check us out on YouTube too. Like, you're on your podcast. If you're in your kitchen cooking your meals, throw us up on your YouTube TV, man. Just let it play in the background, Go to bed, listen to the bad podcast, man. Get us some views, man. So, nah, man. Big, big shout out to everybody that came up and showed love. It was. It was definitely great and definitely felt it. [00:02:27] Speaker B: Yeah, no, man, I. I got the same thing. Got the cup full. Several individuals come up and say, hey, just love the podcast. Keep it up. And, you know, you sometimes have those doubts that some people aren't listening. And, you know, it's just affirmation and we don't need affirmation. You know, we don't need that. You know, it ties into the fitness journey and what we talk about quite often. We never need validation or anything like that. But it is nice to hear, you know, that we're making a difference through our words because, you know, that's. That, that's why I became a personal trainer, that's why I went into education, is to inspire through my words, you know, and inspire through my actions. And that's. That's sort of what we're going to talk about today. Just inspiring through our words and actions. And obviously, I'm writing my second book and I'm. I'm, you know. [00:03:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I would say before we jump in, let's not gloss over that announcement. You guys, Brad is coming out with. [00:03:16] Speaker B: The part two, so if you thought. [00:03:18] Speaker A: You was tired of prep, we just started, baby. We just getting started. You know who I'm talking about. But anyway, man, it's cool, man. First of all, brother, I want to say I'm proud of you, you know, because, you know, it's one thing to. To accomplish the impossible. It's nothing to do it again, man. So I love that. I love to see. I love that this is happening and, and to be a part of it. Only thing is, I hope I have a, you know, a bigger part in this, this version. You know, I. I was a little footnote in the last one, which I appreciate. [00:03:54] Speaker B: Hey, yeah, you're gonna play a big role in this book because I got to talk to you about some of the. The behind the scenes in general, because I got. I gotta go at this with a different approach than I did with my first book, but. Oh, man. Yeah, the bad podcast is going to be mentioned because this is another one of those impossible things. Like, Brad, you'll never have a podcast the way you were in the podcast world before. [00:04:14] Speaker A: But they didn't. They didn't think I was gonna get in back then, brother. [00:04:17] Speaker B: Right. [00:04:18] Speaker A: They actually tried to keep me out, but we ain't gonna talk about that. [00:04:21] Speaker B: You know, and that. That's, you know, one of those moments where it's just like, you know, just prove yourself right. We talk about that so often. Prove yourself right. I'm not in the game to. To prove my English teacher wrong. Like, I. I've been there, done that, and, you know, it has nothing to do with her. It has nothing to do with anybody else that said, hey, you can't or you won't. This is just. This is just about, you know, you know, proving myself right. And, you know, you think about people, you know, you think about that English teacher, you think about my pop, my, my dad. He is the number one person in my, in my life. He's, he's the number one supporter. He's, he's always the first one that would jump at anything that I do, but he's also the first one that will project fear because he has a desire to protect me. He don't want me to, he don't want me to get here. He doesn't want to see me fail. And sometimes when, when others, they, they, they try to serve and protect you, it, it's, it's not out of, it's not out of a, an emotion or a feeling that they don't think you can do it. Right. They low key think that you can do it, but that slim chance that you can't, they don't want to see you get hurt. [00:05:26] Speaker A: Right? Yeah. [00:05:27] Speaker B: Reject those fears and try to limit you through that. [00:05:30] Speaker A: So I can, I can actually take it probably to something you're experiencing now with, with it with your boys, man, like when, when you see them, especially when they first start walking or whatever and they do something, he's like, wait, wait, wait. You know, you, you rush to and then they like, nah, I got this like, you know, Carissa was like super, like, wanted to be independent. She wanted to do, I can do it, I can do it. And you, like you said, just out of caring and not wanting to see harm happen. You know, you try to come in and it's not that you don't believe in them, it's just like, you just don't want to see him hurt, man. [00:06:03] Speaker B: So it's insane. It's natural. And, and just to speak to my, my two kids, you know, I got two boys, obviously, one is four, one's two. But we had similar approaches with my kids, but with my firstborn, we were a little bit more hands on. We didn't want to see him fall, we didn't want to see him fail. So when he fell, like, we, we went to rescue mode. Like right now, my little rushy bear, he falls, it's like, you're okay, buddy. Hop up. [00:06:27] Speaker A: It's the second kid, man. It's the second. [00:06:29] Speaker B: But you, you start to realize some different characteristics in your kids. And when you're less hands on, you start to see that kid, that individual, be a little bit more adventurous. You know, I'm, I'm a firstborn. I don't know how my parents, you know, maybe they screwed me up when I was real young. That's why I'm just, like, wild and wilding about some of these challenges. But, yeah, man, when you are trying to protect somebody, you're actually hurting them, right? When you're overprotective, you're actually hurting them. So, you know, I encourage everybody, man, stop being that helicopter boy. And. And, you know, let the. If. If somebody has a dream, service that dream, don't. Don't try to hold them back for sure. [00:07:08] Speaker A: So I'm gonna say this before we move on. This is kind of a tangent that we went into, but, you know, my. You know, I was. I was first born in my house, and. And, you know, I saw my sister just get away with so much, you know, And I was like, bro, like, how. I asked my dad. I was like, how she. Like, how y'. All. Not. How y' all let her get away with so much? They said. I was like, man, if that was me, that. And my dad looked me right in my eyes, he's like, son, we didn't know what we was doing. You know, it wasn't even bad. It was like the Bible said that, you know, spare the ride, spoiled child. We was like, we'll make sure you won't spoil. I was like, bro, like, you beat me for no reason. But, yeah, he looked me in my eyes and said, hey, we didn't know what we was doing. We was trying to figure this thing out too, man, so. And that. I just. That just rains. So true, man. When it just come to, you know, how that works. And. And like you said, you know, going from one child to the other and just learning and developing and, you know, figuring out, you know, you got to let them be a little adventurous. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I gotta tell this story, and I hope my brother or. And sister and my parents listen to this, because this is. I. I vividly remember this day. So my. My sister and I are very close in age. We're about. We're about 18 months apart, year and a half apart. So we were raised very, very similarly. And my brother is five years younger than me, so he's. He's quite a bit younger than me. And he was just raised a little different. Same. Same thing to. To what you're saying. And so when we were about. We were probably four, like, 13 and 15, my sister and I. 13, 14, somewhere right in there. And we were downstairs, all three of us, and my brother was at the age where he was, like, trying to. Trying to hang with the bigger kids. So he was like, probably, you know, he's like 10 or 11 or something like that. And my dad worked an early job. He worked for the city of Jamestown. And he had to get up early. He had to get up 4, 4 in the morning. And it is an ongoing joke in our house. Dad's got to get up at 4am Dad's got to get a 4am so one morning we were, it was late night, early morning. It was like, you know, one o', clock, maybe midnight. And we heard the footsteps and me and my sister shout out, Carrie. We, we went in hide mode. We went, oh, Dad's coming, go hide. And my dad opened up the, the basement door. He goes, hey, I gotta get up at 4am and my brother goes, well, do you want me to do tuck you in? [00:09:24] Speaker A: So wait a minute. [00:09:26] Speaker B: Oh my goodness, man. [00:09:27] Speaker A: What, what happened from that? [00:09:29] Speaker B: Like, nothing. If I were to say that, he would have marched down them stairs and, and, and it would have been a scene from Rocky 4. But because it was my little brother, I, I think my dad turned around, went back to bed. I don't know what the, I don't know what the. I can't remember that portion of it. All I remember is my, my brother said, what do you want me to do, tuck you in? And me and my sister looked at each other like we're, we're hiding under the desk. We're hiding in the back. Yeah, you know, we're hiding. And he says, he says that I'm just like, wow. But, you know, just to, just to speak to that. I, I think he's just, he was conditioned. Like, he didn't have that built in, that built in helicopter that, that limited him. And, and you know, just to speak to my brother, he's the most adventurous one out of the three of us. My sister's pretty adventurous. Like, my brother's been to every continent except for Antarctica. And he's planning on going there. He's done marathons, he's, you know, hiked the biggest mountains in the world. He's done everything. But again, you know, when, when you try to protect somebody, even when you try to protect yourself, when you try to protect yourself, you're actually harming yourself. So, you know, a professor of mine in college, he said, let your free flag fly. And what that essentially means is get out there, laugh like nobody's watching, dance like nobody's watching. Do whatever you want to do. Do whatever you desire. That's gonna, that's gonna fill your cup. We all want that dopamine kick. And we all want that, that big high right now. But what are those things? What are those things that you're doing to fill your cup long term and let your free flag fly? [00:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, man, let it fly. Let it fly. Now let's, let's get into it now. We got. [00:11:03] Speaker B: Right, that was the introduction, man. That was the intro. Yeah. [00:11:07] Speaker A: Welcome to the show. [00:11:08] Speaker B: So, hey, let's, let's just dive right in on, on some of the things that we're talking about. And one of the things that we're talking about is this bike ride we're talking about. [00:11:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:16] Speaker B: This next book. And, and the first thing that I, I got was, man, it was cheers, right? It was, it was a lot, it was a lot of excitement. And that's, that's what my book is about. It's about the 10 steps to a comeback. Because right now, you know, I, I feel like I, I have a lot of good things going on in my life, but there's a, there's a hole. There's something missing. Right? I, I love my job. I love the people that I work with. I love my wife. I love my family. Like, I have a lot of good things going for me, but there's a little thing missing, and I don't. I couldn't figure out what it was. But as soon as I said, hey, as soon as I made the announcement, I'm riding my bike from Jamestown, New York, to Orlando, Florida. Like, I knew, I knew that was, that was what I was missing. I was missing some. Something courageous, something to fill, Fill my cup, but in turn fill the cups of others. And the reason that I'm doing this bike ride, like, hey, Brad, why are you doing this? Number one, I needed a personal challenge, something to hold me accountable. Like, hold me, like, hold me down and let's put it to the fire. But two, for me, I'm a philanthropist. I, I have been since I was a young man. And, and what I'm doing here is I'm going to continue this eager sneaker project. It's going to be called Bricks for kicks. We've talked about it a little bit. I'm going to raise a boatload of money. We're going to collect a boatload of shoes. We're going to make a, a big, big, big movement and raise some awareness for the 65 of kids that don't have adequate footwear. And, and, and I'm often asked, well, why would you do something like a bike ride? Like, that's, that's just wild and crazy. I want to turn heads I want to get the. I want to get Dwayne the Rock Johnson's eyebrow to pop up on it. And I, you know, when you do something wild, crazy like this, people do like, they look right? And that's what, that's what creates awareness. So that's, that's what I'm trying to do, is I'm trying to create some buzz. But so, so once the, once the cheers started to dissipate and dissolve and go away a little bit, here's what happened next. And this is just like your fitness journey. People settle right back into the old ways. You start getting the naysayers to come about. You start getting that doubt to start to come through your computer screen and your text messages. Hey, do you really think you could do that in five days? I. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm gonna give it my absolute best. And, and one of my, One of my friends told me, that's impossible. You just can't do that. Well, how do you know unless you give it a shot? If you have £50, you have £50 to lose. How do you know you can't lose £50 in a certain duration unless you give it a shot? How do you know you can't be a published author without giving it a fair shake? So, man, there's just so much excitement going on with this, this event right now. And at the very foundation, again, is. Is all about the awareness for the 65. I've been hashtagging the 65 for the 65. And what that means is for those 65 of kids that don't have footwear, man. And I, I'm. I'm somebody that loves shoes. I get. I got 25, 30 pairs of sneakers, and I donated about half of those pairs when we were in New Jersey. And hey, shout out to the New Jersey show folks that showed up and showed up because what do we raise? 285. [00:14:16] Speaker A: We put. I forgot the exact number, but it was, it was 280something on site and several more sent in and donations, like, yeah, it was crazy that. Now that was something to see, man. To see people, you know, and shout out to crazy T come up with the idea of, hey, I want to see somebody take the shoes they got on. Take it off and put it on, you know, in the box. That was a. That was brilliant. I mean, but. And that. [00:14:44] Speaker B: And it is brilliant. [00:14:45] Speaker A: He is. He is big, big time. Big shout out to crazy. But just the. It was twofold, man. It was a great idea, but then it Just kind of showed the heart of people. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Yes. [00:14:56] Speaker A: Like to take your own shoes off and donate it, like real time on the spot. And several people did it. You know, kids were doing it. Several people were doing it. Brad did it. You know, I couldn't do it. You know, I don't have it. I don't have several pairs of shoes. You know, I. I donate some. Some time or money, whatever. But no, it was just beautiful to see, man. So. So shout out to New Jersey. Shout out to crazy T. Um, and. And I. I can tell, you know, whenever you realize the need, it is. It's like one of those things that resonated with you right away. I saw that, like, immediately, like, you know, because you mentioned your love for shoes, helping kids, you know, and then the adequate footwear, and then even on the athletic side, I can know, Brad. I mean, Jeff brought that up. You know how kids running don't have the proper running shoot. All of that. All of that, you know, it. It all kind of came together right before my eyes, man. So super excited about it. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Yeah. You know what? You. You said something. It's beautiful to see is what I think you said. And it is beautiful to see. I mean, I mean, just a selfless act, right? Yeah. You know, I think there was, like, probably between 10 and 20, maybe 30 people that just right after the race, shoes off feet, put them on the. On the. On the stage there. It is beautiful to see people do selfless acts because selfish selfless acts are uncommon. And that's what I've been big on in 2025 is just do things that are uncommon. Like being physically fit right now is uncommon. Eating healthy right now is uncommon. Doing. Doing something courageous, like writing a book or, or starting your podcast or going for that promotion or maybe talking to somebody that you. You fear, maybe that's a boss or maybe that's somebody that you're att. What are those things that are uncommon in your life that you should try. You should attempt to make common? And that's what I've been big on in 2025. It's just take the things that are uncommon and. And make your absolute best attempt to make them common. I think it's like. I think it's like 85 of the world can't or won't do 20 minutes of exercise on a daily basis, like five to seven days or something along those lines. 20 minutes, man, that's. It's uncommon to put in your 20. Like, just take the uncommon and attempt to make it common, and it's hard to do that. We, we talk about your insulation almost every podcast. I would say when you're, when your friends are rocking Friday night, late Friday nights and late Saturday nights and, and they're getting involved with certain activities, I ain't going to say what those activities are. What it does is it limits your imagination for growth. It limits your imagination for, for a, for the best future that you can, you can, you can have. And that comes through being uncommon. That, that comes from uncommon experiences like, like following through with, with, with your 50, 50 pound weight loss journey, with getting on a stage. Like, how many people announce that they're getting on a stage but never follow through? How many people announce something and they never follow through because that excitement, it's going to fade. Yeah, those, those cheers the hooray. Dwayne, I see you're doing the stage boy, again. That's going to be so exciting. Well, two weeks after that, ain't nobody talking about it. Nope, you are, but nobody else cares. Nobody else. I mean, and I don't want to say it in a negative, in a negative light like people do care, but they ain't talking about it anymore. No, people, people are not talking about my bike ride. They're not talking. I haven't really make the, made the announcement officially about my second book, but once I make that announcement, excitement, hype, enthusiasm, all the things. But two weeks after that is when. Is when you really show your true colors. Are you still in the game when nobody's talking about it? There's no hype on it. You still in the game. [00:18:46] Speaker A: That's right, man. That's, that's, that's the real man. Because you can, you can be hype about it. And I have to shout out my man, Todd Mickens. And the reason why, I mean, first of all, it's my guy. [00:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:58] Speaker A: But second, I remember at my show, he was sitting next to Jeff and he was, he was inspired, he was, he was motivated. He saw me on stage, he's like, man, I'm gonna do it. You know, he talked, he talked to me after talked through it, I said, yeah, man, I mean, it's possible. And a couple weeks later, you know, it no longer was priority, you know, and, and no, no shade on him. Can we talk about it all the time, but it's just, you know, can you survive that? You know, when the feeling is gone, when the, when the hype is gone, you know, or when your, your coach sends you a message in the morning and says, hey, we're behind schedule, we're gonna have to cut carbs and add cardio on this Friday, July 25th. The message I got, you know, we're behind schedule. We gotta turn it up a notch. Can you stay the course when it, when it gets tough, man? When it's, when there's no hype, when there's no thrill, when there's no, you know, rah, rah, can you stay the course, man? That's the thing that's going to separate where you are and where you stand. And no matter what the journey is. Like you said, if it's weight loss, if it's, you know, if it's a marathon, if it's whatever, can you stay the course? You know, Also, a friend of mine, Kevin Stage, he's a. He's a comedian. He, you know, social media presence. So he just hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube. But he's been in the game for a minute. Like, he had 1 million on Instagram, 1 million on tick tock. And, you know, he got a TV show, everything. And he, he always said that when he started in 2016, he made a vow to make a video and post it every day. And so he said, every day he posted. Even when it didn't get likes, even when they didn't think it was funny, he continued to show up when it wasn't fun, when the thrill was gone, you know, and that in that persistence, man, is what got. I mean, my man is in commercials now, like, you know, really doing good. But, you know, it's what you do when it's no longer fun and when there's no longer any hype behind it, that that makes a difference. [00:21:03] Speaker B: Yeah, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna use very applicable terminology in verbiage here. So there's two ways you can look at anything that you do in life. You can either operate on feeling or you can operate on principle. And for those that operate on principle and standards, they're following through on those days when there's no hype, no excitement. That your friend there, Kev on stage, you said? [00:21:27] Speaker A: Yep, Kevin on stage. [00:21:28] Speaker B: Kev on stage. He said he was going to post every single day. One, like, still posting. 100 likes. Still posting. 10,000 likes. Still posting. And the reason is, is because he's not operating on feeling. How many days do you wake up, you're like, I don't feel like doing cardio. I don't feel like meal prep. I don't feel like doing this. I don't feel like doing that. That is feeling. That's your mind. Trying to hold you back. You got to start operating on standards. You know what it takes to get where you want to be. Are you willing to do it? Are you. Do you have the uncommon iron will to do it on the days when the excitement's not there? Because you know the standard that you need to operate to, you know the level of commitment you need to have. But are you operating on standard, or are you operating on feeling and emotion? [00:22:16] Speaker A: So good, man, that. That even applied, man. I mean, we take it there. This is our show. I even apply on the spiritual side, man, because, you know, you. You go to an event and, you know, you have this great experience, and. And then you go home and you like. Like where the experience go. But that don't mean you no longer. It wasn't real, or it no longer was a conviction. You, like you said, you operate on the principle. You continue to. To have faith that, hey, this is real. This is what I believe. This is where I stand. And. And it goes. You know, it goes for so many things, and. And it's well past what you can, you know, like you said, what you feel, man, because it's. The feeling is good. Like, we. I listen. We. We. We are for the praise, the edibles. I listen. Bring it on. I'm good. I would. I would take all of it, but when it's not there, you got. You got to be willing to still show up. [00:23:11] Speaker B: Yeah. And. And, you know, you talk about that excitement from an event like, you know, we were in New Jersey, right? It happened. And people. And people even post about it. Every single time we have a meetup, people post about it. I feel re. Energized. I feel reborn. Right? And it. And that will. It will carry on for a handful of days. And. And, you know, you don't take that experience away, but again, that feeling is going to go away. Not now. Now it's time to kick in with standards. And what happens, too, is, like, if you are operating on standards, momentum will come and go. And when you start to operate on standards, that momentum shift is. Is incredible. And you start to see yourself win once, and then you start to see yourself win twice, and then all of a sudden, you got yourself a win streak. You only have to win four days out of. Out of seven days to win the week. And people forget that they win three days, and they're like, you know what? Tomorrow I'm just gonna take the foot off the gas. And if you want to start winning your life, you got to start winning the week, start winning four days A week, four days. That's all you got. Four days a week. You win. You win the week, you start to win the majority of the weeks, you start to win the months. You start to win the majority of the months, start to win the years, you start to win at life. But you gotta. You gotta start operating on standards, principles. Get rid of that feelings, get rid of that emotion. Because your feelings, I mean, that's the biggest limiting factor, right? It's. It's the. It's that voice that knows literally everything about you. Everything. It knows what you want, it knows your desires, it knows where you want to go cut corners, where and when you want to cheat the system. That voice, that internal naysayer right here, I. Mine lives on the right side. Some of them live on the left side. Mine has an apartment right here. I charge that sucker rent every day. Hey, you're gonna tell. You're gonna tell me I can't. Okay? That's all the doubt I needed. Because, I mean, I've told you 100 times, when somebody tells me I can't do something, buckle up, because I'm all in. And I've been told a few times I can't be doing. I can't do this bike ride in five, five days. I'm gonna. I'm gonna give it my best. And if I fall short, guess what? That's not failure, right? That's how. That's how you learn. That's how you grow. So I'm gonna give it my best and I'm gonna write. So the book is about the 10 stages of a comeback, but every stage is a. Is a month of my training. So right now I'm only in month one. But what I'm doing, and I actually told somebody this in step or in New Jersey for Step Jam, is I'm actually trying to write the entire book. I'm trying to forecast what. What. What I'm gonna feel like in month seven, what I'm gonna feel like in month eight. Right? The vision. And although I'm. I have no idea how I'm gonna feel in. In January, February, March, April, leading up to this event, I'm trying to. I'm trying to create that vision. I'm trying to forecast how I'm going to feel, and I'm trying to write my book as we go, and I'm going to have to go in and edit it and, you know, work around it, but I want to have this book published and ready by June 1st. And here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do something special, Dwayne. So I'm, I, I, I don't know if I even told you, and this has been kind of low key, but I have a website now, bradinspires.com everything under one roof, man.

But so what I'm doing From now until May 25 is any pre ordered prep rep forever book is gonna be the, the proceeds are going to benefit Bricks for Kicks movement. So any pre order book from now until May 25th and what that's going to be like is, is May 25th is going to be my last day on the road and we're gonna have a big celebration down in Orlando, Florida. So from now until May 25, any, any prep rep forever book and any prep rep repeat book that's purchased, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bricks for Kicks movement. And just, just.

When you got naysayers and you got doubters in your life, the only reason that they're placed in your life, and they are intentionally placed. Right. The only reason that they're placed in your life is because it's telling you you're heading in the right direction. The more naysayers, the more booze, the more doubt that's infused into your life, the closer you're getting to the goal that you desire. [00:30:39] Speaker A: I love it, man.
