In the latest episode of the docuseries Man in the Arena, Brady talked about Julian’s philosophy of life and his childhood. “Julian’s dad was pretty tough on him,” Brady said in the episode. “Like, Julian will tell a great story about charging the mound when his dad was throwing him batting practice. That’s what you need to know about Jules. That’s what he does.”

He went on to add that Julian doesn’t like to hear praises about how good he is, in fact, he wants to sweat it out each day and keep hustling. “He does not like being told that he’s arrived, he’s great, he’s got a role secured. Julian always likes operating from a place he’s going to get cut tomorrow,” Brady stated.

Sharing what Brady said about him on Twitter, Julian wrote, “What’s the saying? Comfort is the enemy of progress. Can’t get complacent. Period.” The friendship between Brady and Julian is an evergreen one and when the bond is such, we can expect a little give and take.

Replying to what Julian said, Brady shared what appears to be an inside joke. “In another life I think Jules and I could have traveled the country getting in bar fights with people we thought looked at us funny,” Brady wrote.
