Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Where'd he go? What's up, y'? All? I guess I'm here by myself.
Welcome back to the Bad Podcast, Brad and Dwayne. Bradley is building a house or something. I don't know what he's doing. What's up, man?
[00:00:13] Speaker B: What's going on?
You know, it feels great to be back and I just feel so, so out of my element right now. But I'm excited to get the Bad podcast revamped, revival revived and revitalized. And we got some really exciting news about a summer survival kit. We're going to walk you through what it's going to take to get through summer. Don't, don't put your fitness on the back burner during summer. But we're going to talk about the back burner today.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: Let's get into it.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: Are you ready? Are you ready?
[00:01:01] Speaker A: What it looked like, what it be like, what it do, man. Feels good to say those lines. Be super excited to be back in here. Bad podcast, Brad and Dwayne is what it stands for if you're brand new, man. Bradley, I'm excited to get back behind the mic, man. And we got, we got a whole new vision, bro. Like, I'm just, I'm. We, we coming through.
We're going to give it, be a little bit more consistent than we were in the past couple of months and we got some good topics and, man, I'm just excited, Brad. And it's the summertime, man. The perfect time for us to get people going, get them back into the swing of things or keep them from sabotaging, man. So let's get into it.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Hey, guys, you know, you go into summer and a lot of folks have that all or nothing mentality.
[00:01:46] Speaker A: Right.
[00:01:48] Speaker B: You go into summer and a lot of folks just think of it as, hey, we're putting our fitness on the back burner. We're putting our wellness and our health on the back burner. And we had that all or nothing mentality. And when it comes back to late August, September, we have regressed so much that it's hard to get back on the rails, get back the momentum that we once gained. So we're going to talk about a handful of problems, practical things that you can extract from this podcast, apply to your immediate life and talk about some non negotiables. The first thing that I want to talk about today is prioritizing protein. We're taking off the Strong Pause program this week.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:02:29] Speaker B: And with the Strong Paws program, you know, one of the primary focuses is protein intake.
So let's Talk about protein intake and specifically some protein choices that we rock with over the summer. I'll kick it off. We're talking about the back burner. I'm going front burner style. I'm going grill style. I like to go easy with it. I put chicken in a bowl. I put some olive oil on it. I do the garlic salt. Boy, I even get a little cinnamon on there. I slap that sucker on the grill. Sizzle, sizzle. Of course, you got to go all the way through, because it ain't beef.
I like to go roasted veggies. What I do is, again, with the olive oil, I put the veggies in a bowl. I slice up some. Some cucumbers. I slice up some zucchini, carrots, green peppers, you know, that sort of thing. Put it in a bowl, olive oil, garlic, salt. Shake up the. The bowl, and then I put it right in tinfoil. I put that sucker on the grill.
That is my go to. If I want some carbs, I do turn to carbs. I'm an endurance athlete. I. I go with sweet potato. I go with rice. Those are my two primary meals. Is. Is rice and sweet potato, chicken and vegetables. That's right on the grill, and that's going to keep you on track. People say you got to be boring.
Wrong. Oh, I. I get experimental, and I have a little exotic side of me when it comes to summertime grilling.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: Well, first thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna tell people they need to follow Brad on Instagram, because everything he just. He. He got like. Brad has turned into the online E2M personal sous chef. Like, the brother has recipes, and it's so super simple. And he make all of them look amazing. Like, I don't know if they really taste that good, y', all. But he definitely act like they do.
[00:04:14] Speaker B: I've only made one that I had to pretend I had to do a little act and made one early on.
And, you know, you talk about experimenting, right? And in the beginning, like, I just was so off with my seasonings. I didn't know how much salt to put in, how much garlic, whatever. And it was. It was. It was a decent meal, but the taste just wasn't there. And I had to adjust on the back end to make it appealing to me.
But that. That's a. That's a perfect practical lesson. People can take from this is sometimes something will work for me, sometimes something will work for you, and it may not work for somebody else. So take what you see online.
Don't take it for exactly what it is and, and sort of mold it to fit your life, whether it's food, whether it's a workout program, whether it's, you know, you know, sell anything in the self development space. You're going to see all sorts of things. Make sure it fits your life and your lifestyle.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: Make sure y' all follow Bradley.
Listen, Bradley D dot underscore. I don't know why he went so difficult, y', all, but I wanted Bradley
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Dean, and that was taken. And then I want to.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: Long story, long story, long story. But make sure you follow Brad, man. He. I'm telling you, no, no joke. He dropped some. Some cool stuff.
And you could tell because he even described it the same way he do with his reels, man. So for me, I am.
I'm a little different. I mean, I definitely enjoy the thing Brad mentioned.
And, you know, the, the great thing about finding yours, you make it yours. And I'm a hamburgers and fries guy. And I know y' all, like, gasp.
No, no, it's easy. So you. You could get the, the lean beef, you know, pat it out in the patties. You sprinkle some onions in there. Some, some, some. Some different. Whatever, you know, spices or whatever you want to put in there. I like, I got certain things I like as far as, like, steak rubs and things like that I like to put in the meat, you know, And I'm like, oh, no, bread. No bread is a carb source.
You got bread, you got cheese, lettuce.
And I also.
This is so funny, you know, Ronnie Coleman, the great Ronnie Coleman, said that he liked to take potatoes and cut them up and put them in. People think he eating French fries. I was like, ronnie, what. What is French fries like? People thought I was eating French fries. You're eating French fries, Ronnie.
I don't know.
Eating fr.
I don't know what that is, but. No, that. I do that too, man. And see, I wait, like, because I count macros. So I weigh out my potatoes, cut them up, put them in the air fryer, and boom, I got hamburger and fries.
Classic. Go to anytime. Summertime, winter time. But that's my favorite, favorite meal to jump to, especially when, you know, a lot of cookouts, they're going to have burgers, man. And so you don't have to. You don't have to fear the burger. You know, you just have to be, you know, make sure you think about it when you're grabbing that plate. You know, what you got, you got the patty, you got the bread, whatever. Don't fear Those things, man, you can definitely have them. And they fit inside of the thing.
And then like Brad said, man, those, you know, you throw some, some roasted veggies on there too. Oh, yeah, that's a smash. And one more thing, Brad. I've never cooked this, but I've had it from Chef Kev. But a salmon on the grill on the wood,
[00:07:48] Speaker B: that's, that's my, that's probably if I, you know, if I'm getting a little bit next level, that's easily my go to.
[00:07:55] Speaker A: Okay, okay. So you, you know how to do it and everything. You've done it. Oh, see, I, I have no experience with that, brother. Like, I, I don't know, like, I'm not a cook, I'm super basic. But that if, if I had Brad close or Kev close, I definitely salmon. That salmon on the grill with some asparagus.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, it's, it's just like anything, you know, when I started off those cooking videos, the first one, I, I go back to that first one all the time because I want to repost it, but it was so awful. And I remember the first time that I had, I tried cooking salmon and grilling salmon and it just didn't go well. But you know, there was a point in my life I couldn't do a push up and there was a point in my life I couldn't ride a mile on my bike. And you know, I'm riding 1200 miles in a week. You know, I think there's just, you know, there's an experimental side of everything that we do and it's, it's another practical lesson on, on the summer, like, you know, and one of the things I want to talk about, and we're going to transition here, but a lot of people will vacation right over summer and a lot of people will go out of town on summer and you will have too many beverages and you will have too out to eat, sit down. Dying wine and dying experiences. Don't let that three days turn into three weeks. Don't let that, that, that one nice vacation turn into the entire summer.
How do you get back when you get back? Just take baby steps. So many people want to reach that destination. So many people want to accomplish the goal overnight. I'm, I, I, I, I went on a bender for four days. I was in Myrtle beach and I was having the time of my life. And we were with the girlfriends or we were with the buddies and we went golf things and we come back and we try to reach that finish line in One day. Well, you can't make up that work in one day that you just regressed for four days. You got to take baby steps, take, take those little bite sized chunks and say, today I just got to get in 20 minutes. Today I got to go for a walk. Today I got to get in 15 minutes of strength training. Today I got to just meal prep. Today I got to get my, my gallon of water. And you know, so many people are just trying to get to that goal as fast as they possibly can.
That's how you get tripped up. Don't worry about getting to the goal. It'll come.
[00:10:11] Speaker A: That is huge, man. You know, recently I've been taking on a few one on ones here and there, man, and that is huge.
You know, they, and I get it, it's a mental thing.
You know, you want to snap a finger and be right back where you were.
But we're going to tell you how to survive that trip. We won't tell you we're gonna get there. That's in the part of the transition. But if you had one of those times and like you said, they had a time of their live and you came back and the scale jumped up 8. You know the, the weird thing about weight, man, that bad boy jump up fast, but it falls very slow.
It falls very slow. And, and I love what you said, Brad, about what can you do today? Don't think about next week, don't think about two weeks from now. Don't think about whatever. Think what can I get right this morning? You know, can, can I start with my water? Can I start with my meals? You know, and then another thing, Brad, a lot of people go to the phase of extreme, like, okay, I, I had a good weekend. Now I need an hour and a half of cardio. I need, instead of three meals, I'm gonna eat two meals.
You know, I'm, I'm going in, in that. You don't know, man. You're actually putting your body under more stress.
You know, the cortisone levels and everybody, y', all, y', all, y' all listen this podcast, I'm sure y' all watch other podcasts. Cortisone levels can spike and that slows down weight loss.
The stress levels can spike. That slows down weight loss.
Taking your body to those extremes, your body is going to panic and it's going to say, yo, what are we doing? Let me, let me stay in survival mode. Let me hold on. And so it's opposite of what you think. And, and I think, you know, the more people understand that then the better off there'll be when it comes to coming off of those things. Because, you know, we've all experienced it, Brad. Like I, I've experienced, I think we went to great with Large one time, man. And I, I had my mind, I was like, I'm gonna be good. But I came back, I was like, ah, like, you know, it got a little too good on me, you know, but you, you can't. Once you make that, once that happens, don't panic, don't look ahead. Start with today. You listen to this podcast, you watch this podcast. Start with right now. What can I do right now while I'm listening to this podcast? Can I take a walk? Can I put it in my ears? Can I go, you know, get some steps in all those things? That's what we have to do, man.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah, get, get one win. And I think that's what we got to preach right now is go out there and get your dub. Go out there and get your win right now and you know, put the earbuds in. Let's go for a 10 minute walk. We got about 10 minutes left in this podcast. Go for a 10 minute walk. That's a win, right? And far too many people like exactly what you're saying. They're going to get on the treadmill and just get drenched for an hour and a half. And, and, and everybody thinks that sweat is like the number one indicator of a great workout. It's, it's, it's not, you know, it's a good indicator that you're hydrated. Like, great job. Height in hydration, like you're drinking your water. That's a great job. But sweat is not an indication that
[00:13:10] Speaker A: you are sorry, guys.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: Yeah, sorry.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: I want to send a public apology to everyone that used to watch my little sweat drop video.
Sweat. I was like, yeah, we dropped, you know, it for that time, for that moment. For a man that didn't hardly sweat, sat around, laid around, that was a good thing. That meant I didn't work. That did not mean I was burning fat.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: Right?
[00:13:34] Speaker A: Wet does not equal fat loss. Sweat isn't fat crying, leaving your body, even though it's a nice mean, it looks good on a T shirt.
That is not fat leaving your body. I'm sorry. That's water leaving your body. As soon as you drink again, it's going to replenish itself.
That is not how fat. Because another thing you can't spot. Train got a message the other day, Brad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Y', all, we've been away a while, so I got plenty to say. But I got a message the other day. It was like, hey, can I waist trainers with the sweat around my belly? Would it cause my belly? It's like, you can't spot train. I'm sorry, you're gonna sweat in your belly?
[00:14:11] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:12] Speaker A: And then, you know, when you drink water, the sweat that was gone is going to come back. Can't spot train. That's not how it works.
But the, the sweat does equal work. You did something this equity that burns calories. Calories is what? How fat leave your body. And here's the irony, Brad, and you probably notice. Do you know how fat leaves your body? Actually?
You know this, Brad.
[00:14:38] Speaker B: Are you asking me?
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Put you on the spot. Go ahead.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Burning. Burning calories.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So how does it actually leave the body, though?
[00:14:49] Speaker B: I guess I don't know that.
[00:14:50] Speaker A: Okay, so it's not 100%, probably 80, 60 to 80% of the part process of the fat, when the cells are shrinking, leaves your body by exhaling the carbon monoxide that comes out of your mouth. So it isn't even visible because what. What it is, you have fat cells. And when they are. When they're diminished because of the deficiency, that releases a gas, and that gas goes into, you know, your lungs, and that's how it leaves your body. So instead of looking at the sweat, look at the air coming out of your mouth,
[00:15:26] Speaker B: you know. You know why I like that so much is because typically, especially with our demographic and really anybody in our culture, they. They are always looking to see the scene, the visible results of what their workout is. That's a great. That's a great little turning point right there. Because you can't see the weight loss, you can't see the fat loss. Just like sometimes you can't see the results. And a lot. A lot of times you're going to be the last one to see your results. You look in the mirror every single day and you never see any change. But you go to that family reunion, you go to that class reunion, everybody's like, whoa, what. What you been doing? I don't. I don't see any change. Well, you're not going to see that change. You're going to be the last one to notice. And two, just to. Just to layer this, the. The best results you're going to get from moving your body aren't going to be seen. It's. It's a healthier. It's a healthier heart. It's. It's Better circulation. It's better labs. It's better. Better mental health when you're moving your body and you'll never, ever see those things. They're the unseen accolades, I guess you can say from. From moving your body.
So I. I kind of like that where you're exhaling fat loss.
You can't see that, but oftentimes just on the same. Same level, like, you're never going to see the best results or the best accomplishments from moving your body and taking care of yourself.
[00:16:45] Speaker A: Good stuff, man. Good stuff. All right, Brad. So I know we. We jumped over, we jumped around. We get the flowing, man. We try to give y' all a script, y'. All. We try to be like those other podcasts. This is.
We can only be us, man. We can only be us. But I don't know if you're going to go here or if I'm out of order, but, like, how do they survive? We talked about the Survivor's Guide. How do they survive that family trip to. To the beach, to Disney World, wherever they going. What. How do we survive it, Brad, let's get going on that.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: Yeah, Well, I think the first thing that you got to focus on, guys, is conscious decisions, right? And far too many of us, we are.
We. We just go willy nilly. We just. We start making decisions just off of feeling an emotion and not based around what we want to accomplish with our lives. And instead of, like, just saying, hey, I'm gonna do the buffet, I am going to do the buffet. When I'm on vacation, I am going to have beverages on vacation. Instead of having 10 beers, say, you know what? I'm gonna go beer. I'm gonna go water. I'm gonna go drink. I'm gonna go water.
Instead of hitting every single thing on the buffet line, because your family's going to the buffet line. Like, you want to enjoy yourselves. One of the. One of the biggest contributors to. To mental illness is feeling left out in certain decisions and certain experiences. And we start to have all these funny things going in our mind.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: We're.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: We're limiting ourselves, and, you know, we're not. We're not experiencing what everybody else.
Conscious decisions. Go to the buffet, have the drink, you know, enjoy yourself, cut loose a little bit. Just make sure you're really aware you're in and you're intentional with the decisions that you're making.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: Yes.
I love it. No, that's. That's. That's number one, man. It's the mentality, you know, being conscious of it.
I think, number Two. This is you. This could be number two. This could be number two. I don't know, but I think especially during the summer, hydration should be number two. And hydration also connects to that buffet, because if you're drinking enough water, if you'd say, I'm going to the buffet, but before I go, let me drink a couple glasses of water.
And that in itself is going to help curve, but hydration is super important. Going to the beach, you know, we. Everybody loves a cold beverage. Just throw some water in there as well. A little mix, like Brad said, you know, Two. That's, that's a great time to double fist water, you know what I'm saying? I like that. I like Double Fest.
It's a great time to do that, man. But, but that I think, again, being conscious of it and saying, hey, I'mma get my water in, that's going to be something that I'm going to try to do every day.
Even if, even if you waterboard yourself before you leave for an event like get it in, because you know you're gonna have drinks later, you know you're gonna have dinner later, whatever.
But that hydration is going to help you on so many levels. Not just on the fat loss maintenance and all of that, but then on a healthy level, because that's number one thing that people suffer from during the summer is dehydration, not getting enough water. And it affects so many other aspects. So I don't know if that was your number two, but that was my number two.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: No, I think that's a great one. And, you know, I do a lot of golfing in the summer. And one of the things that when we go golfing, you know, we do have some beverages. And years ago I would have four, five, six drinks per nine holes. Like, that's a lot of drinks per nine holes, maybe four. I. I don't know. But now nowadays what I do is I am really intentional with keeping sparkling water with me. I always start with a, with my, with my yeti of water.
And instead of like just smashing drinks, I. I'm having a drink. I'm having a sparkling water. I'm having a drink. I'm having a sparkling water. And then golf's over. So I have two drinks per nine holes. Just because I'm being deliberate in bringing that sparkling, sparkling water. You got to prepare for that. Yeah, the sparkling water is not going to just magically appear in your bag. You got to be deliberate. You got to plan for that. You got to plan ahead. And I think that's okay. Let's go number three. Let's plan ahead. Plan for the bad days, plan for the, for the obstacles, plan for adversity.
Too many people expect like a, a perfect straight line. And we know in, in this game that, you know, there's stressors, there's vacations, there's holidays, there's busy schedules. There is, there is so many. Like if we have kids, like we have baseball, like I. It seems like every night. And you gotta plan for that, you gotta get ahead of the game. And, and for those that prefer procrastinate and they don't pack the sparkling water or they don't plan for the baseball game like that, that's a sure way to fail. If you're not, if you're not putting yourself ahead of the game, you're not envisioning what the what the ladder of the day or the next, next week. You got to have a plan. So plan for the bad days, plan for the vacations, plan for those, those obstacles and, and adjust. Adjust your expectations, not your target. And I think that goes hand in hand with it for sure.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: I was, I was just about to ask, did your golf game get better with every drink? Because I know back in the day, the more like we used to get a picture of beer when we would, we would bowl and my hook ball got better, the lower the pitcher got. You know what I'm saying?
[00:22:02] Speaker B: Like, you know, so this is, this is a great time to talk about this. You know, I, I'm, I'm a huge fan of just organic content. Right. So 22 minutes. Man, I thought, man, the time flies. You don't look at the clock and you look at it. Holy smoke. Anyways, I, I just lay organic and I'm a golfer and I'm into fitness and I'm into motivation. So this is a perfect time to talk about this. So when I was younger, I used to think that my golf game was getting better while I was drinking. And my score never reflected it. I just felt looser out there, just a little bit more good vibes. But now that I'm a little bit more again, that, that word intent, that intention, that intentional word. I'm more intentional with, you know, the, the decisions that I'm making and my swing and all these things. My score reflects that. I do worse when I drink. I like to think it gets better. But the score, I mean, again, man, like feeling an emotion. Far too many of us, I feel like my game. No, no, you got to operate on stats. The scorecard is going to prove to you what. What. What actually works, what doesn't work. And this is the same thing in fitness. I don't feel like getting on that bike and riding for another five hours. But my. My. My facts, the principles that I'm. My goals, like, those are the things that I need to get to the 1200 mile finish line. I don't feel like doing it, but I know I gotta do it. You don't feel like exercising, but, you know, the stat, you know, the scorecard says and reflects what that work does.
So that. That's just a whole segue. And. And I like it. Yeah.
You know, we're all over the map. But you know what? Again, man, this is the bad podcast. We do how we do, and if this motivates one person, if it's. If it's inspiring to one person, we did our job.
[00:23:50] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: That's. That's our intent.
[00:23:53] Speaker A: That's right, man. That's right. Yeah. No, yeah. You know, and I think about it, it probably didn't make my. My bowling game better. You know, the hook ball was just a little.
A little bit more curve on it, man, the lower the pitcher got. I don't know, man.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: You feel like it, but far too many people are operating on that feeling.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: That's why fitness is such a hard space to be in. Because if you don't work out when you don't feel like it, nobody's working out anymore. Nobody's working out. Like, I get excited to work out most times, but it's like, okay, I don't feel like putting my shoes on.
Right. I don't feel like tying my shoes. I don't feel like walking down to my gym again, you have to start operating on standard and fact, like, the things that align with your goals instead of your feelings. Because if you're always operating on feeling, you're just gonna. You're gonna spiral out of control. You're gonna end up where you were years ago, where you weren't happy. But if you start operating on fact, you're going to at least move the needle to where you want to be.
[00:24:57] Speaker A: Yep. No. 100%, brother. 100.
All right, so I want to backtrack just one.
Sorry. We. We got time going.
We talked about the buffet. We talked about vacation.
I mentioned hydration.
But another. Another tip. Survival tip. It's another survival tip. And we talked about, in the beginning, prioritize protein. If you go to the buffet and the first thing you get is your protein, y' all meet, you eat that First, Then go back and get the macaroni and cheese. Then go back and get the mashed potatoes, all the stuff you want to enjoy. But you start with the chicken. You start with a beef, start with a steak.
Do that first. Eat your protein first. My favorite podcast is Mind Pump. They talk about it all the time. Protein first. If you make that, if you make that conscious decision just in itself, you're gonna see, you're gonna maintain during a vacation and you're not going to feel like you undid. You know, what you've been doing for so many, for so much for so long, man, you don't want to turn, you want to, you want to let a five day vacation become a three month setback. You know, that's, you know, you don't want that to start to plummet back. And then like we mentioned in the beginning, you know, even if you don't take all these tips and you just go, have fun when you come back, start where you are, man. So, all right, just, just for a
[00:26:20] Speaker B: second, I want to talk about that. Because when you go to a buffet and the first thing that you do is pack on that macaroni and cheese, the second move you're going to make is going to be packing on that mashed potatoes. And then you'll go back for your protein and you won't have, you won't have room for that protein. So when you start with that chicken, you start with that protein, you're not gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna have a tendency to say, you know what, I don't need as much macaroni and cheese. I don't need as much macaroni French fries. So I think, I think the name of this podcast got to be Conscious Decisions. From top to bottom, from floor to ceiling. It's Conscious decisions.
[00:26:54] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how you survive the summer. That's how you survive the vacation. That's how you survive the buffet. Any time of the year.
That's how you survive it, man. You have to be conscious.
Conscious decision. No mindless eating. Even at home, Brad, let's be real.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: Yes, even at home.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: You know, that's how you survive at home because the kids are out of school and now you got to keep the snacks in the house for the kids and make sure they got enough. And they, they want to snack every five minutes and you can't eat a snack when they eat a snack. Right? Conscious decision, man. Get your protein, get your meals in, even at home. Same thing applies, man.
[00:27:32] Speaker B: So, yes, hey, man, I'm excited to be back. This has been a lot of fun.
We, we got to get in person. We got, I'm gonna be in Charlotte here in a few weeks. We gotta, we gotta do an in person pod. I told you, find that energy.

My wife told me, next time Brad come to town, you know, she gave me permission, you can go and because those that don't know Brad, we scheduled to come in town and always on weeks that I don't go to Charlotte, and so I got permission to, next time you come to town, I can go and hang out with my buddy. So that is the game plan, man. No, I, I've enjoyed this too. I feel good to get behind the wheel again and, man, will we see him next week? Brad, I don't. What, what's the cadence here?
