Certified Bad Example Podcast
by August Black & Jameel Mayers
Certified Bad Example is a weekly podcast hosted by August Black and Jameel Mayers that turns terrible parenting moments into teachable ones. Each episode digs into real stories from current events, history, and everyday life where parental figures made spectacularly bad choices. Instead of just judging, August and Jameel break down what went wrong, why it matters, and how those “bad examples” can actually help us become better parents and people. Because sometimes the best way to learn what to do… is seeing exactly what not to do.

Certified Bad Example – Introduction
Coming this June 1st, 2026, Certified Bad Example officially steps in with hosts August Black and Jameel Mayers leading the conversation. This is where real-life situations, pulled from headlines, everyday moments, and the kind of stories people usually avoid, get put under the microscope. Not to shame, but to unpack.Every “bad example” becomes a conversation, and every conversation becomes a choice: what would you do instead?Episode One sets the tone. You’ll hear exactly what this show is about, how it works, and why it exists. August and Jameel bring perspective, parenting experience, and sassy opinions. From personal missteps to social dynamics, cultural moments, and everything in between, the goal is simple: call it out, break it down, and leave better than we found it.This isn’t just about parenting. It’s about behavior. Decision-making. Accountability. Growth. The kind that happens when you’re willing to look at something messy and say, yeah…we’re not doing that. Whether you’re a parent, partner, friend, or just someone navigating life, this show is built to make you think, react, and maybe even laugh at the chaos of it all.Season One kicks off June 1st, 2026, with weekly episodes across all major platforms.Watch and subscribe on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@CertifiedBadExamplePodcastFollow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/certifiedbadexampleSearch terms: Certified Bad Example Podcast, August Black, Jameel Mayers, parenting podcast, LGBTQ dads podcast, real-life stories podcast, opinion podcast, modern fatherhood, social commentary podcast, relationship dynamics, behavioral accountability, podcast launching June 2026
