August Black is the co-host of Certified Bad Example, bringing sharp instincts, quick humor, and a willingness to say exactly what a story has everyone else thinking. As a parent, he brings real-life perspective to conversations about kids, relationships, accountability, and the wonderfully messy business of being an adult. Whether he’s challenging Jameel, defending the indefensible for five minutes, or changing her mind halfway through the conversation, August keeps the show unpredictable, unscripted, and grounded in real reactions.

Jameel Mayers is the co-host of Certified Bad Example and the guy most likely to hear a wild story and immediately start asking questions. A husband, dad, and unapologetic overthinker, Jameel brings curiosity, skepticism, humor, and the occasional side-eye to conversations about parenting, relationships, pop culture, and people making spectacularly questionable decisions. He’s less interested in telling people what to think and more interested in figuring out how we got here in the first place.
