The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

You're fired! (But you really quit - wink wink) - Episode 611 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Your job is dunzo. But... what's the story you tell everyone? Did you quit or were you fired? Jeremy Bradley talks about the embarrassment of getting fired and spinning the story to make it sound like it's the employer's loss... and entirely your doing. He recounts the first time he was fired from a job and the impact it had on him. What's the story to tell your parents when you get turfed as a teen? "I quit, I couldn't handle the job anymore, mom," JB said. Did she believe him -- about the job he never once complained about? He discusses how employment standards have changed over time since that 1999 event.

Has Pride lost its meaning and focus? Is it too much already? - Episode 610 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

"I've never been into Pride -- or what used to be called Gay Pride but now is 'everything that isn't straight,'" says married gay man, Jeremy Bradley. He talks about how the over-the-top flamboyant spectacle isn't his scene -- and never has been. "I remember, before I was out, watching the news with my parents and the Pride parade came on. Seeing clown-makeup drag queens and guys being so feminine. I knew that wasn't a representation of me and I feared my parents would think I was 'one of them' when I had no desire to fem it up and wear a dress and paint my nails. I was just a guy who was attracted to guys." In recent years, Pride has become so commercialized that JB feels the true meaning has been lost. "At first, it was cool when corporations changed their logo to a rainbow but with that came them making money off of Pride. And what happens July 1? The roll up the rainbow swag and it's put away until next year."

Is legit journalism over? A 20-year journo chimes in after CBS's 60 Minutes drama - Episode 609 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:00:00 +0000

The chaos is real at CBS News with much of the long-time team at 60 Minutes out the door. The Scott Pelley firing this week rocked not only the company but the journalism industry as a whole. Jeremy Bradley, a journalist who's been in the business for over 20 years, shares his thoughts about the CBS shakeups under new management. Plus, he talks about how "citizen journalism" or "independent journalism" isn't the same thing as mainstream media -- and why that's a problem, especially in today's world where the MSM is no longer as highly regarded or trusted.

Everything is smoke and mirrors nowadays - Episode 608 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

It's time for an entrepreneur smack down. Jeremy Bradley unloads on wannabe business people who attempt to make themselves look bigger than they are. His biggest gripe: "I can't stand when people go on Shark Tank and refer to a business as "we" when it's just them: "We've been in business for five years" and later admit it's a one-man show." JB gives examples of the smoke and mirrors he's run into with fellow broadcasters who attempted to make their operations seem larger than they were. For instance, a radio station having Studio K -- which was a kitchen... in a crammed apartment above a convenience store on a busy downtown street. "There's nothing better than doing it on your own and taking pride that you've accomplished everything by yourself."

'I don't work here,' said almost every self-checkout customer ever! - Episode 607 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 May 2026 09:00:00 +0000

It's the big debate: should you steal to compensate for your efforts at self-checkout? Jeremy Bradley talks about shoppers feeling the need to grab extra items while ringing up their purchases at stores without cashiers. His controversial statement, "I understand why people feel that way" is often misinterpreted as support. He explains why that argument, however, doesn't mathematically add up. "For the two minutes of work you do -- based on what the hourly wage is in that store -- you would be entitled to a few cents of merchandise." JB talks about why customers are frustrated and how they justify their bad behaviors if store staff isn't around -- or isn't paid enough to care.

Do mantras and trendy buzzwords really motivate you? - Episode 606 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 25 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Living your best life. Family is everything. Manifest the amazing. You make today special. The best is yet to come. Does any of this crap motivate you and give you a bounce in your step? Does it help you power through your workday? Jeremy Bradley talks about motivational phrases and mantras that people, apparently, need to get through the day. Do trendy buzzwords and empty phrases really make a difference?

Survivor and Colbert: the good and the bad of CBS's week - Episode 605 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000

It is the end of an era for CBS. What a big week for finales: Wednesday night had the 50th Survivor finale with Jeff Probst giving a major spoiler halfway through the show, and across the country in New York, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert took its final bow on Thursday after the network offed the show following controversy with Donald Trump. Jeremy Bradley, an entertainment host for over 20 years, talks about the Colbert cancellation scandal. Later, he reflects on his memories with Jeff Probst on the radio -- including the time the Survivor host crashed a show!

Why are iconic brands from your childhood suddenly failing? - Episode 604 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 18 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

That restaurant or store from childhood has a place in your memory -- and possibly your heart. You tune into the news and hear the national chain is in danger of closing. Then, it makes headlines when the final location closes. Jeremy Bradley talks about working for iconic brands in his 20s and reflects on shifting business models and consumer interests that has those long-time favorites becoming a distant memory and a thing of the past.

Did you become what you thought you would? - Episode 603 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Many people look back at their childhood and think about what they wanted to be when they grow up and if it actually happened. Jeremy Bradley reflects on his early days of amateur broadcasting as a kid and how it turned into a career that saw him largely retire at 39 years old -- five years ago. Pretending to host a show with his dual-cassette recorder as a kid to anchoring red carpets in radio syndication as an adult, JB has only recently connected the dots that what he really wanted to do in life actually happened from his interests and hobbies as a youngster. Plus, he talks about the first time he was on the radio as a kid... and how the hosts made fun of him.

You remember where you were when... - Episode 602 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 11 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's a question people always ask: Do you remember where you were when...? Whether it was Sept. 11 or presidential assassinations or the pandemic, these events are stamped in people's minds. JB looks back at the COVID-19 global shutdowns and how it impacted his life. "I was treated like a criminal for wanting to go to my own house and not be locked up in a jail hotel," JB said. He's referring to the controversial quarantine hotels that were mandated by the Canadian government. "I was fined $6,000 because I refused to be mistreated, starved and put at risk. And, to this day, I've still never paid it. Oh yeah, and I've still never had COVID."

Paying fees for the 'privilege' of being a customer? No thanks - Episode 601 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Paying fees for the 'privilege' of being a customer? No thanks, says Jeremy Bradley. Service fee, delivery fee, small order fee, bag fee, handling fee -- they're all junk fees, according to most consumers. (Not to mention the fee's tax -- yup, taxes on fees.) JB loses his mind when he sees a restaurant charging a $20 delivery fee for orders. Then, he says, restaurants cry about declining sales and threaten to close because they don't have community support. "Hmm, now why could that be?" he asks.

What is 'going above and beyond' for a restaurant server? The tipping debate continues - Episode 600 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 04 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's not a new debate. Consumers are sick of the tipping expectation in the service industry. Jeremy Bradley dissects the concept and breaks down the terminology associated with tipping. In restaurants, tipping is for "rewarding good service" but he wonders why it's up to him as a customer to give performance reviews and incentives to staff. Also, it's for when a server "goes above and beyond." What exactly does that mean? JB talks through the ideas that, quite honestly, are ridiculous. "So, you walked 10 ft. to a kitchen and carried a plate to me. Wonderful. You asked me how the food is. Great. You took the dirty plate after I finished eating. Spectacular. Golly, you went above and beyond the job description of a server!"

To gift or not to gift? The big relationship debate - Episode 599 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

If it's a new relationship, gift giving can be a stressful time. What happens if you spend more than they do? What happens if they give you something terrible and you went all out? Jeremy Bradley dishes on relationship gift giving on the show. He talks about the arrangement he has in his marriage. Is there a spending limit? Are there any gifts at all? JB talks about the relationship discussions he's had with podcast listeners.

Inside the White House Correspondents' Dinner chaos - SPECIAL EPISODE - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Rarely does the White House Correspondents' Dinner get so much airtime -- especially so many days later. (Had most people even heard about it prior to Saturday night?) This year, however, it was a different story with Donald Trump making his first appearance as a sitting president. Therein lies the drama, according to, well, all the media in attendance. Jeremy Bradley talks about what the scene was like in D.C. and his thoughts, as a Canadian, on American politics.

Reunited and it feels so good... or does it? - Episode 598 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

You're enjoying your life, happy in your long-term relationship and suddenly... you get the text on your phone. It's your ex -- from over 10 years ago. They're in town. They want to meet up. Respond? Ignore? What's your play? Jeremy Bradley talks about a visitor to L.A. who shook up things with a surprise appearance. Was it drama and chaos? Was it a "meh" moment? JB talks about a recent blast from the past.

So much blame game nowadays. What happened to accountability? - Episode 597 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Back in the day, customer service reps would own the interaction with their clients. "That's a great question, let me find out for you. Thank you so much for your business over the years. You're a valued customer," Jeremy Bradley recalls. "Now, it's all do-it-yourself answer finding through "knowledge bases" and "resources" and when you can find contact information, the person on the other end is working remotely and doesn't even have co-workers in the same room (or country) to assist." When you do reach someone, he says, you're told "no" more often than not; or the employee doesn't know the answers and the interaction takes 10 times longer than it should. JB wonders why workers -- and people in general -- are quick to blame others for things they've done. Where is accountability culture?

Has there ever been a good TV show reboot? - Episode 596 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:00:00 +0000

At first, TV fans got excited when a show would come back on the air decades later. The shows you loved as a kid, teen, young adult -- returning to the airwaves for a blast from the past. Jeremy Bradley talks about how most TV reboots end up being a terrible spin-off of themselves. Does the second version ruin the legacy of the first? If the characters or story lines aren't exactly as they were, does it make the show a failure? Then again, has our taste in programming changed and we just don't appreciate what we did back in the day? Later, JB talks about which TV reboots have disappointed him the most.

Creative ways to not be a crime victim - Episode 595 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

In a society where everyone is the victim (mostly those "Karens"), Jeremy Bradley has some creative ways to avoid being a crime victim. Picture it: it's late at night, the backyard is dark, you see a silhouette or shadow moving around in the black of night. JB tells you the perfect way to scare the intruder (without violence or bloodshed!). Later, there's a growing crime of pet theft. People are getting jumped while walking their dogs. JB shares his idea for keeping your canine safe if someone demands that you hand over your pooch.

A committed relationship with an AI character? - Episode 594 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's happening more and more often: people are forming relationships with -- even dating -- AI characters. Jeremy Bradley talks about the growing interest in looking for love on a screen. He downloaded an AI relationship app (on a co-worker's phone!) to dive into the digital boyfriend experience. "It was interesting because you essentially design your perfect guy; he's charming and calls you cute names," JB says. "But, for me, I dunno, I enjoy being around my big, muscled Brazilian bodybuilder husband." He admits he can understand why people feel a connection with something that fills an emotional void. Later, JB reacts to singles complaining that others don't know how to flirt nowadays. Has technology ruined that, too?

Are parents raising the handout generation? - Episode 593 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

"Back in the day, you wouldn't want anyone to know you were struggling financially," says Jeremy Bradley. "Now, for some reason, people have no problem crying about their struggles and begging people for help. The online panhandling is enough." JB talks about how, thanks to social media, people have no shame when it comes to expecting money and handouts from, in most cases, complete strangers. When it's a birthday, it's not uncommon for people to post a Venmo or Paypal link and expect viewers to send money. "You would never go up to someone and say, "It's my birthday, sogive me money" because it's awkward. Online it seems to be a shameless zone."

Is booze consumption on a downward trend? - Episode 592 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Is booze consumption on a downward trend? Or is Jeremy Bradley just getting old? JB talks about how he'll have a drink in social settings but rarely has the desire to have a drink at home. He reflects on his youth when he started drinking -- and then over drinking -- but once he hit his thirties it really slowed down. Now, in his forties it's even more rare.

Drug commercials make diseases look so fun - Episode 591 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Is society too consumed by drugs to magically fix everything? Are people too lazy to put in hard work to correct issues? (Obviously not all conditions are self-inflicted.) Jeremy Bradley talks about medication commercials that put such a positive spin on how wonderful life could be if you take their drug. Later, he wonders why people disclose conditions on social media. "It's a little bit strange to me why people add "ADHD" and "diabetic" to their Instagram bio," JB says. "You have a limited number of characters to introduce yourself and that's your claim to fame?"

Why are customers more appreciative than service staff? - Episode 590 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

"Why do I say 'thank you' more to the store than they say 'thank you' to me?" Jeremy Bradley is at it again! More customer service stories and why he thinks employee training needs to shift to put patrons back on a pedestal. JB talks about how he finds himself thanking cashiers after they ring him though but rarely gets a 'thank you' from the establishment to which he just gave money. "I'm not expecting them to bow down and kiss my ass," he says, "but staff never seems grateful to customers. I often get, 'Have a good one' but not 'thank you.'" Later, JB talks about how classless customers overshadowed a pizza restaurant's grand opening: "There was almost a rumble."

Workplaces have become daycares - Episode 589 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Remember when you would go to work, do the job and go home -- and that's it? Jeremy Bradley talks about how workplaces have become hangouts and, worse yet, daycares for employees. He mentions how playing games, having contests and winning $5 coffee gift cards is meant to boost morale and facilitate employee engagement but, at the end of the day, most workers want to come in, do the work and leave. "I know one company where management guilts, if not forces, employees to go to the holiday party so their department is represented," says JB. "Employees don't want to spend an evening and have a free meal with their co-workers on a Friday night." He talks about how his offices are run a completely different way... because they're grown-ups.

Does mother really know best? Really? - Episode 588 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When you're a kid, everything Mom cooks tastes the best, right? Plus, your mom has the answer for everything. Then, when you grow up you realize: maybe not so much. Jeremy Bradley talks about how your opinion about parental knowledge and skills changes as you experience life. JB talks about his mom's "moist-free chicken" and how when he grew up and worked at a restaurant he learned how to properly prepare meat for the ultimate flavor. Later, he has a laugh about her "literal chocolate chip" cookies.

Rose snatched! Psycho 'bachelorette' cancelled - Episode 587 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

"It was only a matter of time," said Jeremy Bradley. "If ABC ran The Bachelorette amid multiple scandals involving its lead, it would've been a PR nightmare for the network condoning domestic violence." It was looking like ABC would platform Taylor Frankie Paul with a season premiere on Sunday amid ongoing police and criminal investigation into her antics involving one of her baby daddies. Then, after video of a violent attack went public, ABC caved -- after previously hiring a crisis PR manager in light of the drama it faced. Now, the fallout continues with the dating show shelved. JB recaps the latest and gives insight from the TV production side of things with his expertise as an entertainment host for over 20 years.

That's a wrap! Did anyone care about the Oscars?... or awards show season? - Episode 586 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Awards show season has come to an end. And, if viewers largely tuned out, did they really even happen? Entertainment host of 20-plus years, Jeremy Bradley, talks about how people don't care to spend three and a half hours (six, if they watch the red carpet) to tune into an awards show. JB talks about the shifting viewer habits where people watch "moments" instead of the full telecast. With so many avenues and platforms to consume content, are people willing to spend a couple of hours watching a movie? Moreover, are they likely to get dressed up, leave the house, go to a movie theatre and make it an evening? Perhaps not, when we see the struggling box office numbers for some films. Also, in a truly random story, JB goes on about a memorable theatre experience.

Vinegar, sex lives and oversharing - Episode 585 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It's a little bit of everything with Jeremy Bradley this week. First, a random story about vinegar and JB learning about all of its uses in three different instances in a matter of days. "I had no idea it does everything," he says. Next, JB talks about people oversharing their relationship details. Whether it's on social media or discussing with friends and co-workers, JB explains why he keeps things private -- even with the group with whom he's worked for over 20 years. "We just don't talk about relationships like that with each other," he says.

Imagine living life without performing for social media - Episode 584 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Imagine not caring about your social status and impressing onlookers. Jeremy Bradley talks about society's need for constant attention and applause from audiences. "Imagine going on a vacation with your partner and not taking one photo," JB said. "It's moments between the two of you. Why is your first thought to snap pics and immediately upload them for the world to see?" Is that a slap in the face to your partner? Later, JB talks about one specific person who, while an adult, constantly shares screenshots of compliments he gets from colleagues. "It's like he's a needy five-year-old girl desperately seeking positive reassurance," JB said.

Are people really duped by this? - Episode 583 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Are people really falling for fake AI crap on social media? Jeremy Bradley talks about how scamming is becoming so obvious that, maybe, just maybe, people deserve it. He talks about how the targets used to be seniors, but now with social media, JB is surprised by how many youngsters are getting taken. The tipping point was an obvious AI ad on YouTube and a quick Google search -- and, of course, scanning Reddit forums.

Learn to speak without jump-cut edits... or get out of the broadcasting game - Episode 582 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It's a tutorial in broadcasting with Jeremy Bradley this week. He takes aim at YouTubers and podcasters who can't speak two or three sentences without having noticeable edits in their delivery. In particular, JB discusses jump-cut edits where the camera shot jumps because the person has changed the flow of their monologue. "If you can't get your message out without multiple edits, you either need public-speaking lessons, a script to follow -- or to do something different entirely because you don't have what it takes in broadcasting." Later, how often are you told "look" or "listen" when someone begins speaking on camera? JB talks about cable news panels and how people use these words as a crutch.

Have you heard of lottery snobs? - Episode 581 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Do you scoff at the idea of winning "only" $10 million? How about just a million? Jeremy Bradley talks about a colleague who won't buy a lottery ticket if the jackpot is too low. "I've never heard that before," says JB. "A million dollars is a million dollars. I'll take it." Later, JB wonders why people clench their teeth when they pet his dogs. "It worries me. Are they going to bite my dogs?" he laughs when he reminds listeners that it's a bunch of randomness on the show this week. Switching gears entirely, JB talks about eager retail employees who won't stop chatting, asking probing questions and following customers around the store. Also, JB talks about store security that generally stands around and has heads down while playing on their phone during their shift.

'Shop local' shouldn't be a marketing guilt trip - Episode 580 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

In what's become a four-part series, Jeremy Bradley continues sharing thoughts about the food industry. It's driven by responses from listeners who offer their opinions and insights into what they feel is happening at eateries. This time, JB talks about the push to support local businesses that are (supposedly) the heart of a community. Do you do it because it's the "right thing" to do? Or do you base your spending on costs? If the marketing tactic is "shop local" but local is 40 times the price, will you avoid the guilt trip and get what's cheaper/est? JB can't justify spending $8 on a local barbecue sauce when national brands are $2 or $3.

Technology is ruining the customer experience at restaurants - Episode 579 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Grocery stores have notoriously put customers to work: scanning items, bagging them (and for many people, adding extra un-scanned items to those bags -- wink, wink). Now, Jeremy Bradley says restaurants are determined to give customers less human interaction. Giant kiosks are in the middle of the area where people would once line up to place orders at fast-food counters. "How soon before we're dishing up and serving ourselves at the counter?" he asks. Plus, JB wonders why -- aside from a data grab -- do restaurants insist on downloading their app just to get discounts. If the price can be lowered for app users, why not just lower prices for everyone and make dining out affordable again?

Are restaurants pricing themselves out of business? - Episode 578 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Restaurant rants on the last episode had listeners react! Jeremy Bradley talks about complaints over restaurant pricing. A $20 hamburger? And $9 for fries? How about $8 for gravy? (Hi, KFC!) Really? Are costs preventing people from eating at restaurants? JB's other issue: wine. "Why do they never fill up the giant wine glass? Give us a smaller glass then, it looks cheap almost empty. If you ordered iced tea, they'd never give you a half glass."

Does 1 bad restaurant visit turn you away forever? - Episode 577 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It was a disastrous restaurant visit from the beginning... but the food was great. Is the bad overall experience enough to make you stay away in the future? Jeremy Bradley tells a story about his colleague having a nightmare restaurant experience literally from the moment she walked in the door. Are there situations you can overlook if the food is good? Or, is a terrible employee attitude enough to keep you away forever? Later, JB shares a story about how he turned a laughable restaurant visit into a hilarious newspaper column.

"The Sick Show" - Episode 576 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It's the first time Jeremy Bradley has been sick in nearly eight years. It's a big deal... for him! People get sick all the time so it's likely not a major issue for you, but it's thrown JB for a loop. He talks about the humor in suddenly falling ill in what's usually an incredibly healthy household. "We didn't even have pain reliever or cold meds in our medicine cabinet because we don't get sick," JB says. "We asked each other what we should get because we forgot since it's been so long!" It's one thing to work in an office or spend time in classrooms and catch a bug that's going around, JB got sick from a wintry problem in Canada.

Do you hate interacting with people nowadays? - Episode 575 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley cuts to the chase this week: Interacting with people has become such a pain. It's not necessarily the people themselves, it's the channels and platforms that facilitate the contact. JB discusses the frustration of having a simple question or concern but the never-ending runaround as a customer to come to a conclusion. It leads to another rant about customer service -- or "customer experience" as it's commonly known. Why isn't the customer number 1 anymore? Do you find that companies tell you, the customer, "no" more and more often nowadays? Do you find the service employee puts an effort into finding answers if they don't know?

Everybody's a podcaster, everybody's a blogger... but they shouldn't be... (again) - Episode 574 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It's one thing to have an opinion and share it on your digital platforms, but are you a one-trick pony? Jeremy Bradley talks about the podcasters and YouTubers who only talk about one subject... all the time... over and over again. At some point, the subject matter should be changed up. The Trump haters, the Meghan Markle critics -- just don't stop. Entire channels and pages are devoted to one subject. What happens once Trump is out of office? What happens if something tragic happens to Markle and she dies? Then what? Is your show done? A hard pivot would be necessary but will your audience stick around?

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

SPECIAL EPISODE: Moments after our Jan. 30 show went live, all hell broke loose in the celebrity world.

Is in-restaurant dining a thing of the past? Is the industry destroying itself? - Episode 573 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Whether it's the cost or the overall experience, is in-restaurant dining a thing of the past? Jeremy Bradley talks about his recent observations when sitting down to eat. JB has long talked about his lack of interest in cooking so ordering food is a near-daily habit. Whether it's waiting to be seated, overhearing loud staff conversations, or wondering why you get a giant wine glass that is never filled to the top like every other drink, JB discusses why customers might be losing interest in the dining-out experience.

Hollywood red carpets have become obnoxious for actual journalists - Episode 572 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley has been covering red carpets for over 15 years. It started with Canadian Idol in Toronto and then moved to A-list Hollywood events. He talks about how the red carpet experience has changed thanks to social media and selfies. "It's no longer about the celebrity and their moment," recalls JB. "It's now the "influencer's" look-at-me moment and fanning out." He talks about how you wouldn't dare ask for a selfie with a celeb back in the day. "Getting on a red carpet meant you had journalistic credibility. Now, it's about the size of your social platform." As for the TV ratings of awards shows, are they likely to rebound this year?

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Are there things you love the smell of but hate the taste of? It's a battle of the senses with Jeremy Bradley. He loves the smell of coffee but has no interest in drinking it. He loves the smell of orange but not eating it. When it comes to garlic -- oh, garlic -- you can love the taste but hate the smell. JB talks about an awkward situation in a workplace when he was on a garlic kick. Later, have you seen the light? JB does something odd with his eyes and has no idea why. It's kinda strange. See if you can figure it out. Also, there are certain sounds he just can't handle -- can't - handle!

Sneaky, misleading job descriptions dupe applicants - Episode 570 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley talks about the time he thought he was headed for a corporate PR job (based on the role's description) but it was anything but. Anything. He talks about the company fudging the details of the employment opportunity. JB, however, admits that it was clever for the employer to catch attention and prompt job applications. He goes on to describe the inhumane and emotionally disturbing antics of management.

'Let's keep in touch!'... but do you REALLY mean it? - Episode 569 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

"We totally need to get together! Let's keep in touch!" But do you really mean it? We've all been there, says Jeremy Bradley. He's talking about running into someone from your past and being on the spot and pretending like you're happy to see them. What about hearing from someone out of the blue? For JB, it came in the form of a text. He talks about a former colleague suddenly reaching out and shares his reaction to what happened when he replied. From there, it took JB down the rabbit hole of looking up others associated with the former colleague. He then began reaching out to them and checking in. Those responses were surprising.

Resolutions? Blah. If you really wanted to change, you'd just change - Episode 568 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Happy New Year! ...but it's only October... or so Jeremy Bradley thinks. Though for you, it's 2026 and the talk of new year's resolutions comes into play. Or does it? That's what JB rants about this week. What do you plan on changing in your life this year? It's the standard obsessions, vices and addictions people want to shake: less time on the phone, workout more, eat better, save money and blah, blah, blah. The likelihood of success? You already know the answer. JB wonders why people use the calendar as a countdown to start making life changes. "If you really wanted to do it, you'd just do it. Why does a calendar need to act as a deadline to start your self-inflicted punishment?" Later, there's that old saying, "out with the old, in with the new" but is new always better? JB talks about how he hates being forced to upgrade technology because a company says so.

Are holiday traditions on the way out? - Episode 567 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you're a kid, you look forward to the holiday routine: waking up, opening gifts, eat Christmas breakfast or brunch, and a night of playing with all of your new toys. Or, something like that. As you get older, things change. But when it's an entire overhaul of what used to be Christmas, is it too much? Jeremy Bradley thinks so. There's something about the nostalgia of the holidays from your childhood. But when the traditions -- that were so comfortable and familiar -- change, does that make you lose interest? Do you get so attached to the routine that mixing it up feels too different? JB talks about why he's checked out of his family holidays.

Have you thought about your death? - Episode 566 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Let's face it: you might not make it to the end of the day. You could get hit by a car, your home could explode, you could have a heart attack. That's just the reality. Jeremy Bradley talks about the oddities of death. He discusses the funeral weirdness of a body lying in a box dressed in a suit and tie with its head propped on a pillow. JB chimes in on funeral preparations and the different customs and rituals people have.

Don't aspire to be an "influencer" - Episode 565 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley takes a round out of the "influencer" attitude of entitlement and self-importance. He relives the experience of meeting an "influencer" -- two of them, actually -- for the first time while on a media trip. "They were sizing me up, while they were potentially going to write a blog about the trip while I was there producing travel radio shows for 20 stations and 300,000 listeners," he said. "And I'm a union writer and broadcaster." He talks about their snide comments of him being "old school" but, in the end, he got the last laugh. Oh, yes he did. Spoiler: karma is a bitch!

Spend less time content creating and more time in the real world - Episode 564 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley recently did an interview about what makes a good businessperson. The rising popularity of the "influencer" lifestyle has everyone on social media thinking their life is a business and, in turn, a moneymaker. The reality: it's not, and it shouldn't be. JB, a trained journalist and broadcaster of over 20 years, takes issue with everyone believing they're a content creator just because they're on social media. "Think about it: if someone told you 10 years ago to make videos of yourself putting on your makeup or picking out your outfit, you'd say, "Um, no thanks, I'm an adult," but today, it's all too common." He stresses that people put too much focus on creating content and performing for a social media audience than simply living in the real world.

When you're "un-friended" but didn't notice, did it really make a difference? - Episode 563 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It seems like such a power move: "un-friending" or blocking someone on social media. It's the modern-day equivalent of someone on a 90s sitcom or daytime drama saying, "I'm outta here" before leaving an argument and walking out. Jeremy Bradley doesn't understand the politics of social media blocking when adults are communicating -- or not communicating. He recently discovered that several relatives "un-friended" him and laughed because he had no idea it happened. "Was it last week? Three years ago? I don't even know," he said. "Clearly it wasn't impactful to send a message." He talks about how juvenile and petty people make social media communications.

Parents: your kids are soooooo obnoxiously dreadful... and it's your fault - Episode 562 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It's a super-sized Scribble this week! Jeremy Bradley's on a rant this week and it's all because he spent a full day with kids. His observation is that kids, these days, are obnoxious and suck. The big question: are the parents to blame? JB shares a story about the day-long charity event that had him wondering what the hell is wrong with the younger generation. "I'm going to tell you why I hate kids," he says with a laugh. The moment that set him off -- OFF! -- is explained. JB also wonders why some people reproduce. "I don't hear parents raving about how wonderful raising kids is anymore."

Face it, delusional oldies: there's no stopping your age - Episode 561 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Age is something we can't escape. Jeremy Bradley talks about how people react and talk about their age. From dodging the subject (ahem, executive producer, Bonnie Winters) to attempting to be playful ("how old do you think I am?"), JB wonders why people don't just say the number without making it an issue. He talks about being 43 but not "looking" or "feeling" it and questions why people lie about their age for vanity. ("You can say you're 39 all you want, it doesn't change anything about your body," he says.) Later, he laughs at people who post on social media that it's their birthday... solely for attention.

It's 'unconstitutional' and 'illegal' but he still did it, so... - Episode 560 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Politics is a weird game. And, yes, Jeremy Bradley sees it as a game. And that's thanks to how American politicians are acting and operating (or not) every day. Never more have U.S. laws and regulations been disregarded, challenged, stomped on and overlooked -- depending on who you ask. One side says everything's on the up and up, while the other says Pres. Trump is defying rules and breaking laws. At the same time, he gets away with it, so how solid are those laws (and the subsequent enforcement of them), anyway? "When did the people lose the power?" JB asks. He also shares a story about reaching out to his local politicians and the responses he did(n't) get.

Restaurant owners cry about thin margins but... - Episode 559 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

We always hear about how little service workers are paid because restaurants operate on such thin margins. Jeremy Bradley calls BS on that. Why? "Explain $14 less-than-full glasses of wine when I can buy an entire bottle for $4 at Trader Joe's," he says. "I'm paying $7 for a side of fries that equals one potato. Would you ever pay $7 for one potato?" Yes, factor in the prep time (if potatoes are cut in-house), materials (oil, fryer, etc.) but isn't $7 a little extreme for a fried potato? On top of that, JB takes issue that he's expected to "reward" staff for walking back and forth to do their jobs when it comes to tipping. Later, he explains that he doesn't appreciate apps that solicit customers to tip before anything is even done with an order -- and manipulate customers with messaging like "orders with higher tips are often taken first" or "it's raining, tip generously." NMP, he says -- not - my - problem -- about workers earning low wages or driving in rain if they agreed to take the job.

He's got the house to himself! Party? Nah. Lazy? Yup! - Episode 558 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

When your partner goes out of town and you have the house to yourself, is there a sense of loneliness or a sense of freedom? Or, is there a third option? Laziness. Jeremy Bradley talks about his laziest week ever with the husband out of town. He takes procrastinating to a new level. He implemented certain criteria to actually do things and get things done. "I barely even moved my body the whole day," he says. Later, JB goes on another rant about social media and how Instagram has gone from photo sharing to political and life rants. Is it time to bring back pics of your meal?

Stop caring what people think about you - Episode 557 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When you've been in the media business for over 20 years, you've heard every possible comment about your work, your life and your appearance -- good and bad. Jeremy Bradley answers the common question: How do you not care what people think about you? It's easier said than does, he says. But JB has a theory that it could be connected to your childhood. How does JB ignore the negative (and even the positive) to live a happy life? Plus, he talks about how he always celebrates his accomplishments whether or not anyone else wants to acknowledge them.

Make customer service human again - Episode 556 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Are companies too needy? They seem desperate for feedback and reviews 10 minutes after the transaction is completed. Plus, it seems like they want more and more personal information from you while providing less and less personal service. Jeremy Bradley goes on another rant about how "customer service ain't what it used to be." (Or is it "customer experience" now?) He talks about how companies are quick to grab your email address or phone number when you want to ask a simple question, yet add you to spam lists before even addressing your query. Later, JB talks about how he put his foot down with a financial institution about soliciting him after becoming a customer. (They screwed up!) Also, do companies really take seriously the automatic surveys sent out after your transaction? JB tells you why it's never made a difference for him.

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya? - Episode 555 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There are plenty of ways to gamble: slot machines, card tables, sports... voting for Trump. Jeremy Bradley talks about his confusion about casinos and why winning frustrates him. He takes a walk down memory lane to the time of dropping quarters into a slot machine in a room filled with cigarette smoke. (The good ol' days, right?) JB also talks about how he had to pretend he'd never been to a casino when his parents took him gambling for his 18th birthday. Plus, he has a friend who is a lotto snob. The friend buys lottery tickets but only if certain criteria is met. What's the catch? Have a listen.

ATTN: Singles- Go back to old-school dating - Episode 554 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley talks about how relationships and the dating scene have changed since he was "on the market." He talks about how people have so many complaints about dating apps and relying on social media to meet people that it might be time to take it old-school. JB talks about one of his staffers starting a new relationship and how he sees that it's already headed for trouble. Why? You've gotta hear it! JB talks about how he set the tone for respect and expectations early on in his marriage and how things have been smooth sailing ever since.

Maybe it was better when not everybody had a platform - Episode 553 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley has been a trained journalist for 20 years. Earlier this summer on the podcast, he shared his thoughts about the current state of the news media. It's largely distrusted, it's biased -- it's got any number of complaints from the mainstream public. JB talks about how viewers now trust unreliable -- and unverified -- information, over a major reporting outlet simply because of the reputation the MSM has. But, is that the right way to get your information?

Wow, how celeb interviewing has changed - Episode 552 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley is one of the O.G. streaming broadcasters, starting in internet radio over 20 years ago. Now, thanks to podcasts and platforms like YouTube, everybody has suddenly become a broadcaster. JB takes a walk down memory lane about what it took to book celebs on his syndicated radio program and how the landscape has changed. Is it for the better? That's up for debate.

Back to work for you, hey? How's it feel? - Episode 551 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Labor Day has come and gone so you know what that means: back to work and regular life. No more summer, no more holidays, no more beach parties, no more patio parties. Done. It's all done. Sad, right? Jeremy Bradley talks about how his "retirement" life has changed how he gets through the day. Part of it: he doesn't even know what day of the week it is anymore. Do you make the most of your workday even if you don't like your job? JB talks about his happy memories of office life. On the flip side, he also shares what he doesn't miss about the corporate world.

Is parenting all it's cracked up to be? - Episode 550 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Back-to-school time is here! (Exclamation point or womp-womp? Depends on who you are, probably.) Jeremy Bradley talks about how he loved going back to school as a kid. Naturally, not all kids feel that way. Of course, for parents, it means they get rid of their little nose-pickers and make them someone else's problem for much of the day. But, if that's the feeling, it seems like parents can't stand being around their offspring. You've seen the TV commercial to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" where the parent gleefully rides the shopping cart as the kids head back to class. It's never made sense to JB. If parenting is so wonderful, why are you so happy to get rid of your kids and pawn them off on someone else?

The laughable 'taking a break from social media' announcement - Episode 549 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley has made no secret he couldn't care less about social media. For years, JB says he has no interest in posting constant updates about his life. Having been in newspapers and on the radio for 20 years, he recounts how he's always had a platform to tell people what's happening. Social media, however, is of no interest. JB gets a kick out of people who feel they owe it to their audience to share everything. Everything. And when life is too overwhelming, JB laughs at those who make the big announcement about "taking a break." He scoffs that they'll be able to kick their addiction cold turkey. True, they might not be posting on their page during that time, but JB suspects they're still scrolling and watching from the sidelines.

Lying to customers is a baaaaaaad move - Episode 548 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley is on another rant about "customer experience" nightmares. Is it just a coincidence that many companies have dropped the term "customer service" because "service" is a thing of the past? JB recaps his recent experiences dealing with businesses and compares it to his time working in retail 20 years ago. Back then, employees would "own" the interaction with a customer -- meaning, commit to finding the answer or providing a solution before the transaction was complete. Now, it seems like employees don't take ownership of situations and either pass off the customer to someone else or simply turn them away. JB shares a story about how he busted a phone rep lying and the hell that was unleashed.

A low-key birthday is best - Episode 547 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Another year older, another low-key celebration. Jeremy Bradley talks about how he celebrated his 43rd birthday last week. Were there fancy, expensive gifts from his husband? A big party with over-the-top decorations? How about a decent cake? No, no and no -- and that's just how JB likes it. He explains why. Later, JB talks about the odd celebrity endorsements and businesses we see. It makes you wonder if celebs really care about their business ventures or if it's just for the money. Case in point: Smartless Mobile. Do any of the Smartless podcast hosts really care about cellphone plans? Had they ever talked about that before launching their company? Somehow they're in the wireless business. Is it working for them or do consumers not get it and stay away?

Another birthday. And? - Episode 546 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0000

"Another lap around the sun!" "It's my birthday!" "I'm another year older. Here's my Venmo, send me money!" You've seen all of these on social media... and Jeremy Bradley can't stand them! Today is his 43rd birthday and he laughs at people who desperately seek attention on their lap-around-the-sun day. The big birthday question is always: do you feel your age? JB explains why he feels much younger. Get ready to take some notes!

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

You've been awake for barely 10 minutes but already you think the day is jinxed (or cursed?). Jeremy Bradley talks about a ridiculous day that only got worse. Just when he felt he couldn't get in a worse mood -- it happened. Now, he can laugh about it and it's something most people can relate to. It was one of those days where you say to yourself, "I think I'm just gonna go back to bed and sleep until tomorrow."

Going back in time and living in that moment - Episode 543 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

Last week, Jeremy Bradley shared that it's been 25 years since his high school graduation. After taping that show, JB had the idea to locate the home movies from his final year of school. (He was the only kid with his own camcorder at that age.) JB found the camera and appropriate cables to connect the 30-year-old technology to a modern TV. He and his husband, relived JB's graduation. They watched the video, danced to the same music after -- even had nearly the same meal (delivered!). Keep in mind that JB is from Canada and his husband is from Brazil. Graduations were -- and perhaps are -- incredibly different in those two worlds! Later, while digging through the videotapes, JB found the endless hours of silly videos from his teen years -- and reconnected with the group of friends almost 30 years later!

25 years since graduation... wow, that's old! - Episode 542 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

Another school year is done. For Jeremy Bradley, it was 25 years ago that he graduated high school. JB reflects on his time in school and the final farewell that his graduating class had. Later, he talks about keeping in touch with classmates and if he had any interest in keeping in touch (long before the days of social media, remember). Also, have you ever looked up a former crush just to see what their life is like now? Better yet, did you find them and go, "Eesh? No thanks!" because they've dramatically changed?

Is hometown pride still a thing? - Episode 541 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As Canada Day and Independence Day approach, Jeremy Bradley wonders if people still have a loyalty or allegiance to their place of birth. Because you were born in a certain place, do you automatically like the local sports teams and root for them? Or, if you move away, do you still have to support them because that's here you're from? JB recounts the time he was ashamed of his country and being a Canadian. Compared to what's happening in the U.S., he proclaims he's proudly Canadian again. (Funny how world events can make you appreciate where you're from.)

The trouble with news reporting nowadays - Episode 540 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Trust in the media is at an all-time low. Jeremy Bradley knows exactly why. (Well, you do, too. But he has insight from being in the news world for over 20 years.) JB talks about how the landscape has changed and why the quality of journalism has eroded to the point of no return. He talks about why he's largely stepped away because of the dynamic and how he doesn't want to be associated with the all-about-me mindset of the new generation of news reporter. "I didn't realize making stupid dance videos in the studio was part of a job description," he says. "And I have no interest in doing that." JB also talks about how covering Hollywood red carpets became a drag and why he never looked back after signing off from a successful syndicated radio show after 15 years.

Has social media, dating apps and reality shows ruined the success of marriages? JB shares his thoughts.

Happy Pride!... but I'm not 'one of them' - Episode 538 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Pride Month is here and Jeremy Bradley sets the record straight... well, gay. He talks about how there is frustration within gay circles about the growing length of alphabet connected to the, what was once, GLB (yes, the G was first at one time) community. JB shares a memory about when he covered the Bruce Jenner-Diane Sawyer interview in which Jenner revealed he would be transitioning. As an entertainment reporter, a local radio host assumed that JB had an opinion on Jenner because JB is gay. "I'm gay, not trans," JB recalled saying. "I realized that people grouped us all together when the reality is I have almost nothing in common with a trans person." Plus, JB comments about corporations jumping on the Pride bandwagon and wonders if it's genuine or simply for profit and PR.

Surviving a sudden stroke - Episode 537 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 30 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley thought it would be another silly phone call when reaching out to our company's executive producer, Bonnie Winters. Instead, the first minute of the chat with her husband changed everything. JB learned that his 20-year writing and producing partner had "a small stroke" at the start of the team's spring holiday. He recounts hearing the details and how he expected the worst after getting the news. But, in true JB style, he called Bonnie a few days later to put her on the radio to share her story! We've got it in podcast form for you this week.

Would you turn your back on a friend locked up for a crime? - Episode 536 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 23 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It's the third week for what's turned out to be a series about inmates! This week, Jeremy Bradley talks about knowing a convicted bank robbery. Spoiler: it was his journalism instructor! When JB learned of the news that the one-time local celebrity was busted for heists across Canada, he couldn't believe what happened to the life of his former mentor. While the news saw the teacher lose nearly all of his personal relationships, JB felt compassion because, despite the crime, he knew the person well enough to realize there was a deeper issue at hand. JB talks about how he worked through his feelings after learning the bombshell news.

Fri, 16 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Last week, Jeremy Bradley talked about how he discovered some shocking news about an inmate pen pal. It led to a discussion about carrying on relationships with people behind bars and who you will likely never meet. Moreover, JB discusses messages he got from listeners after opening up the discussion to wondering if you can trust -- or potentially fall in love with -- a murderer. What is the point of forming a romantic relationship with someone who'll never have a day of freedom for the rest of their life? Shifting gears, JB talks about his experiences writing back and forth with the locked up.

Fri, 09 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley reveals he's maintained a pen pal relationship with several inmates in the United States. Years ago, he was set to host a podcast featuring their stories but when the business deal fell through, he kept in touch with them, anyway. He talks about how he's come to know them quite well, even discussing his work, business and family with the people he's never spoken to or met. After getting caught up with the busy awards show season earlier this year, JB says he forgot to log in and check his mail from the murderers. When he eventually wrote back to one this spring he discovered some shocking news. It's something that he couldn't shake for days.

Relationship drama on social media... keep it coming! - Episode 533 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 02 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

"Just because you have a phone, doesn't mean you need to be a content creator." That's how Jeremy Bradley opens the show this week. JB has said countless times that he has no interest in social media, however, this week he says there's an exception to his objection. It's when it comes to people broadcasting their relationship drama. He notes there's always a big, official announcement when a relationship starts and an official statement on social media when it ends. And, in between: the ups and downs are fascinating to watch play out. JB maintains he'll never publicly post birthday wishes or ooey-gooey lovey-dovey messages to his husband because, as he says, "our relationship isn't performative for an audience."

I'm not easily offended but did he just... - Episode 532 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

It was a simple question that had Jeremy Bradley confused and then slightly offended. For a guy who never holds his tongue (or worries about offending people) did one question turn the tables on him? See if you would have felt the same way in that situation. Plus, JB circles back to the discussion about cellphone use from last week's episode. There was lots of conversation about how people use their devices and their pet peeves of others.

Put down your damn phone already - Episode 531 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There's at least one in every group. It's the person who's not enjoying the moment and is constantly looking at their phone. The addiction is real! Jeremy Bradley talks about his amazement that people sleep with their phones and it's usually the first thing they look at when they wake up. He goes on to talk about how workplaces should restrict phone use just as schools do with kids. JB shares a story about how phone use became a rule in his house. Later, he wonders why people have to clutch their phone as they walk down a sidewalk or through a store -- or worse yet, seeing people vacationing on the beach staring at their device. How many hours of hand-time does your phone get?

Embracing your not-giving-a-F's old age - Episode 530 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

As you get older you tend to care less about what people think about you. At times, you probably don't hold your tongue and say what you want. Jeremy Bradley is at that point and has made observations about his life as he gets older. He identifies key personality traits that have changed over time and how he views people in society.

In which era would you live forever? - Episode 529 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

You had "the time of your life" -- was it recently or a memory from the past? Is life as enjoyable for you now as it was when you were growing up? It depends on when you grew up, according to Jeremy Bradley. He talks about his childhood and how he would stay in his teenage years forever because it was an innocent and fun time. (He'd never want to be a kid in today's world.) JB recounts the friendships and memories that got him through childhood. Now, in his 40s, JB said he wouldn't mind being stuck in the past with the way his life was back in the day. Is it the same situation for you?

Politics, politics, politics. Enough, enough, enough - Episode 528 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Everywhere you go people are discussing politics. It's understandable given what's happening in the world (especially the United States). But for Jeremy Bradley, who's never participated in nor had an interest in politics, it's getting to be a bit much. JB explains how, as a Canadian, he watches from the sidelines people having emotionally -- and sometimes violently -- charged confrontations about politics in the U.S. He talks about how Canadians feel about politicians and politics and it's vastly different than with Americans. (Shocker, right?) "We've never had anyone throwing mashed potatoes at someone at Christmas because of a political argument," JB says.

It doesn't matter how my relationship works - Episode 527 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Relationships are always fun to discuss because you learn about how couples live and either relate to them or secretly think to yourself, "Wow, my situation is so much better." Jeremy Bradley talks about giving relationship advice when there isn't a definitive way that unions should work. He says people ask about his marriage and try to compare the setup to their own situation, though he reminds them everybody is different. Later, he addresses a common relationship question that he thinks is a setup for drama.

Scammers, scammers, everywhere - Episode 526 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Telemarketers, spammers, texters -- all out to scam you. But do you fall for it? Or have you caught onto their tricks? Calling you from overseas, mispronouncing your simple name, asking for details about your account: do you give in? Jeremy Bradley questions why people are so easily swayed when contacted out of the blue. JB notes how when customers call into a company for their product or service, customers have to provide excessive information to verify it's legitimately their account. Why don't people on the receiving end of unsolicited calls put those same protections in place for themselves? Later, JB talks about scammers who've tried to take advantage of his companies.

Read a damn book - Episode 525 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 15:00:00 +0000

People love to read but it's toxic stuff on social media that makes them feel insecure, hate filled, depressed, lonely -- and everything else that screws with their mental health. Jeremy Bradley reflects on a time when kids were encouraged to read books and were excited to dive into the pages of a fascinating story. As adults -- and even with kids today -- not so much. Later, JB talks about odd behavior with people on social media. He wonders how trolling online and randomly posting nasty comments to pages is entertaining for people. JB shares a story from his e-commerce store where the comments section is out of control for absolutely no reason.

Another reality check for "influencers" - Episode 524 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley talks to "influencers" and encourages them to view their 15 minutes of fame as just that: fleeting and temporary. Many people with a social media platform see the likes, clicks and cash now but is it something sustainable for the rest of their life? JB talks about his retirement from a successful radio career and how he can look at the current generation of broadcasters (podcasters, YouTubers, TikTokers, etc.) and wonders if most of them have figured out the long-term business side of their content offerings. Sure, free stuff and some money now are great, but will it still be lucrative in 10 years? And can they (read as: willing to) get a "regular" job after?

Content is king, don't be a joker - Episode 523 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Content is king. That's an old saying but it's more relevant than ever thanks to today's social media world. Jeremy Bradley talks about his early days in internet radio that later turned into a syndicated radio company, producing audio programming for outlets around the world. JB encourages people who want to start creating (podcast, YouTube, etc.) to think about their content before launching a platform. It's one thing to say, "I want to do a podcast" or "I want to write a book" but there's a helluva lotta planning before anything should launch.

Can you feel the love tonight... and every other day in your relationship? - Episode 522 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It's the day you're going to see social media pages full of flowers, romantic dinners and paragraphs of people professing their love. And it makes Jeremy Bradley want to puke. JB talks about how Valentine's Day went from being a commercial "holiday" to now being a show for social media where people broadcast the day with their partner. (Remember, your partner gave you those flowers today because it's kind of expected. Ditto on the "romantic" dinner.) JB, who's been married for several years, says every day is like Valentine's Day in his relationship because they constantly go for dinners and are together all the time. "People ask why I never post about how much I love him," JB says. "Because I talk to him and don't need to communicate with him publicly on social media. I don't need that attention and validation from the public."

MORE Customer service ain't what it used to be - Episode 521 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Is it getting worse? Is the quality of customer service at an all-time low? And the new glammed-up way of referring to it as "customer experience" isn't helping most companies. Jeremy Bradley talks about the frustration of big businesses moving away from actual human contact and interaction, and relying more and more on technology to assist customers. Gone are the days of calling an 800-number and having your problem resolved in minutes. Now, it's chat bots and spotty English, irrelevant template replies and plenty of "no"s and "I'll transfer you"s. JB reflects on his time working in customer service and how employees had to own each interaction... because it was their job.

Putting the 'fun' in funerals - Episode 520 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Nobody wants to think about death but it's something that's, well, inevitable. Jeremy Bradley talks about his thoughts on funerals as various family members are battling illness. He shares stories about recent family funerals and how relatives felt about the departed and what it's made them think about life and death. Later, JB talks about a time when he couldn't stop saying the wrong thing at a funeral. He recognized his misstep in the moment, told himself to correct his wording, but every time -- wrong, wrong, wrong.

Is family overrated? - Episode 519 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The old saying is "blood is thicker than water." It's often used to declare that family is -- or should be, at least -- the most important thing in a person's life. But what if it's not? Should someone feel bad about that? Or is it better not to have family in your life? Jeremy Bradley talks about how the closeness of families during the holiday season -- especially broadcast on social media -- seems to be meant to make you feel bad if you don't have the closeness that others do. JB explains why he doesn't buy into that and how not being close with family is OK. Later, he shares about how critical opinions from parents drove him away from family as he got older.

Is education overrated? - Episode 518 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

There's so much emphasis on education but it's such a broad term that we need to take a step back on what people, namely kids, are learning. Jeremy Bradley, who has a family full of teachers, looks back at his elementary school through high school years and comments about what he learned and where it's got him in life. For instance, JB talks about his friend graduating high school without knowing the spelling of basic words but had to spend three years studying Shakespeare and other stuff she's never used in the 25 years since graduating.

Just some middle-aged co-workers discussing porn - Episode 517 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Do you remember the first time you saw porn? Or the bigger question is what did/do you consider porn? Jeremy Bradley talks about how his opinions on nudity have changed with age. As he's matured, social media platforms -- ahem, Meta -- seem to be slow on their stance on "nudity" and "sexual activity." Moreover, says JB, the social media giant doesn't even have the same definition of "nudity" as a basic dictionary. Also, JB opens up about his first experiences seeing nudity and porn as a teen.

Some good ol' family gossip after the holidays - Episode 516 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

A new year but same ol' family drama during the holidays. Jeremy Bradley talks about the whispering and gossip at family gatherings and how it's enjoyable to trash-talk relatives with other relatives. It ends up almost being a game of telephone when someone opens up as you sit beside them and you leave the room and tell someone else what you just heard and they tell someone and so on and so on. When there are competitive siblings raising kids, it's delicious to hear how they try to one-up each other to each other and on the side with other relatives.

A new year but the same old crap or a new outlook? - Episode 515 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

It's a new year and people seem to think all of their problems from the past 12 months will suddenly go away simply because the calendar turns a new page. Who are they trying to kid? Jeremy Bradley talks about his unique way to celebrate the year behind him. It's a moment of reflection to have some laughs about what happened. Let's be honest, everything in your life on Tuesday, Dec. 31, will follow you into Wednesday, Jan. 1; the new year doesn't change your life.

Are holiday traditions overrated? - Episode 514 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Are holiday traditions something to uphold or is it OK to change things up? Jeremy Bradley talks about overcoming the pressure -- and imposed guilt -- for wanting to break family tradition and do his own thing during the holiday season. JB talks about getting enjoyment out of different experiences than what had always happened in his family for 40 years. But, not everyone in a family welcomes such change -- in fact, they might take offense to it. JB discusses how putting your own feelings and comfort first isn't as selfish as people might make you feel.

Is it stealing if you found it in public? - Episode 513 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Finders keepers, right? If you find something in public, is it fair game to keep? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he's recently discovered items and decided -- after a fair amount of time waiting for the original owner to reclaim -- that he could take them. Is that the right thing to do? JB talks about an L.A. TV news anchor who was arrested for "finding" and "taking" headphones at an airport security checkpoint. Perhaps that's a different scenario than discovering an item in an open field with nobody around. Would you take it or leave it?

Going into business with your partner: yes or no? - Episode 512 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

During the pandemic, many people started home businesses for extra income -- or just something to do. That's definitely something that can test your relationships with family members. What about going into full-time business with your partner? Jeremy Bradley shares his experience working with his husband and how it affects their personal and professional relationships -- because those end up being two different things. Is it a good decision to spend all day working with your partner and then all night living with them? JB talks about how it plays out in his house... and office, respectively.

So, you're an "influencer" now... and then what? - Episode 511 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000

In a world full of "influencers," Jeremy Bradley still struggles (maybe refuses) to understand the fascination with the social media concept. JB recalls the time he was called an "influencer" simply because he has an audience. Are "influencers" given too much credit these days? Or, are the audiences too easily influenced simply because someone is popular? (Spoiler: numbers don't equal credibility!) JB shares his first encounter with "influencers" and his takeaways about their present and their future. He also wonders if these people think "influencing" will be their job forever because of the ego rush they get from their "power." (Do people really stay at the same job for 30 or 40 years anymore? Not usually.) So, what's next when the "influencing" is over? Can they resort to working for someone or are they too caught up with being in charge?

An over-the-hill gay man comments on age - Episode 510 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000

At what age do you start to embrace your age? Jeremy Bradley wonders if it's a gender difference or even dependent on your sexuality. JB says as a gay man in his 40s he's expected to feel -- and possibly viewed as -- over the hill. But, does he? He explains how even in his 30s he never shied away from telling people how old he was. Later, JB talks about how he doesn't relate to the gay community and largely distances himself from it because of how it's changed since he was, well, "in his prime."

Explore outside of your comfort zone - Episode 509 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

It's one thing to enjoy the comfort of your own backyard, it's another to see the world and experience as many things as you can. Jeremy Bradley talks about his travel like and how it's completely different than what his Brazilian husband experiences. Part of the fun, he says, is seeing someone else experience new cultures and lifestyles. Exploring them together as a couple is even wilder. JB shares how one of his Brazilian employees experienced the ultimate culture shock (in a good way) with some of the things most of us in North America might take for granted.

Oops, they did it again! Trump: round 2 - Episode 508 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Americans are funny. This week's presidential race proved to the rest of the world that comedy is alive and well. Canadian Jeremy Bradley talks about how it's fascinating as an outsider to watch such a divided nation go through another roller coaster presidential campaign. He also reads social media posts from people who are so disgusted by the thought of another Trump administration that they're swearing off social media. (They're only depriving themselves of their daily habit/addiction, right? That kind of self protest isn't going to change anything.) JB also shares how the Canadian mindset surrounding politics is completely different and almost not understood by outsiders.

Do you trust online reviews? - Episode 507 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 14:00:00 +0000

They say you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. But does that include online reviews? How much merit do they get in your mind? Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts about online reviews and also his experience with decision making. JB talks about "gig work" and how people rely on apps but also why he's suspicious about testimonials for service providers. Why? He had a major strikeout that's soured him on finding help online.

Remembering Halloween from the good ol' days - Episode 506 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +0000

It's Halloween time again. Is your response: "Yaaaaaaaas" or "who cares" though? Jeremy Bradley talks about how his reaction has changed over time. He recalls trick-or-treating with his brothers and later how he began celebrating Halloween as a homeowner in his community. Perhaps it was the first year that set him off from making it an annual event. Is Halloween the same in your neighborhood as it was when you were growing up? JB shares how it's completely different where he lives.

Experiencing 24 hours of pure magic - Episode 505 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Dreams really do come true. That's how it feels with Air Canada's Dreams Take flight.

JB talks about how the fun begins at 2 a.m. at the airport in Canada, continues on the plane and the adventure gets into full swing at Disneyland in California. It's literally 24 hours of pure magic as the kids experience the park like not many get the chance to.

What's really killing long-lasting relationships? - Episode 504 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Is it reality shows? Is it dating apps? Is it social media? Is it ADD? Is it all of the above? Jeremy Bradley wonders why so many relationships are failing nowadays. JB talks about how social media has given people unlimited access to almost literally everyone in the world. It's no longer about finding someone near you because everyone is reachable. But because of that easy access, JB wonders if people will always be on the lookout for something/someone better -- just as they would be for their next job or car or house. Plus, reality shows have become so mainstream that dating and competing for affection (or "temporary TV love" as JB calls it) sets unrealistic expectations for romance. The needy and insecure contestants on Bachelor shows now use terms like "validated"/"validation" and "you make me feel seen" and JB says they're not emotionally stable with themselves if they rely so heavily on someone to boost them up.

What's up with people nowadays? Chill the F out! - Episode 503 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It's nearly impossible to get through a day without having some form of interaction with another person. Whether it's at work, at school, driving, on the bus, shopping, on social media -- you just can't escape. Jeremy Bradley talks about how ridiculous-acting people make him want to hide out and never come in contact with anyone -- sometimes ever again! JB explains how customer service is maddening, how inconsiderate neighbors can make life hell and how (some) businesses ain't gonna take your crap. He shares examples of all of the above!

Being fired ain't the worst thing in the world - Episode 502 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

If you've ever been fired unexpectedly you probably went through a series of emotions: sadness, embarrassment and fear. You were sad because you formed friendships with co-workers and wouldn't see them anymore. You were embarrassed because the entire staff knows what happened and then you have to figure out how to address things on social media if you share every detail about your life. And then you were likely fearful about finding a new job, finances or what to do next. Jeremy Bradley talks about his work history and how getting fired is what motivated him to become an entrepreneur -- and ultimately retire at 39 years old.

'I told ya so' on the 'fight, fight, fight' thing - Episode 501 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It feels like an 'I told ya so' moment for Jeremy Bradley on the podcast this week. Earlier this month he commented on how Americans are encouraged by their political leaders to 'fight, fight, fight' and then as soon as there's another attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, there are calls for people to chill out and settle down. (Though a few days later they're leading the chants again, but whatevs.) As JB previously noted -- and does again today -- the whole mindset of an American political campaign is about the fight-fight-fight. JB draws the comparisons between Canadian and American mentalities and vast differences in civility in the respective countries.

So, you wanna host a podcast - Episode 500 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Sure, the broadcasting landscape has changed but the fundamentals of content creation remain the same. JB offers tips and suggestions about formulating a broadcasting plan and outlines the proper steps to launch a podcast. Have the logo and title before even brainstorming your first few episodes? Red flag. JB explains how to get the pieces in place for a smooth launch. Also, are too many podcasts incorporating video? Does it lend anything to the content? Are you proficient with video editing or will it add countless hours of work for each episode? In the end, is it worth it? JB addresses it all in episode 500!

Politicians call for calm while telling you to 'fight, fight, fight' - Episode 499 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Election season... er, year... er, four years is in full swing. Jeremy Bradley talks about how the American political campaign is never ending. The next campaign starts right after the latest president is sworn in. JB explains how, as a Canadian, politics is a completely different vibe. Canucks barely know when the next election is, let alone who the candidates are in their neighborhood. Americans, are hating their neighbors and getting into family fights and excommunicating those who disagree with them. JB notes that while American politicians call for calm in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt, candidates are still encouraging voters to 'fight, fight, fight.' As JB asks, "How is that ever a non-violent word in this context?"

You got busted breaking the law... deal with it! - Episode 498 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It's becoming increasingly common for people to whip out their phone and record confrontations with others. (After all, A&E has a bunch of shows devoted to the new style of home video montages.) Jeremy Bradley talks about interactions he's had where capturing the encounter would've gone viral. Notably, JB busts people breaking the law and puts them on blast. They clap back and -- believe it or not -- publicly justify their illegal behavior. What are they doing? In the case of a business, not doing themselves any PR or Google review favors! You've got to hear this.

The key to amazing customer service is... - Episode 497 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

A few weeks ago, Jeremy Bradley talked about customer service nightmares. (It's almost become a yearly tradition on this show.) But, in his latest rant, he spoke from the perspective of a business owner and what bad customers can do to a company. Following up on the negative, JB has advice for entrepreneurs to insist on a positive "customer experience" that involves rapport, engagement and a lot of silliness. He says being way too serious and too corporate is bad for your brand.

Parents: who's in charge? You or your kids? - Episode 496 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

They say that cellphones are raising kids nowadays but are they also babysitting parents? Jeremy Bradley talks about the growing concern about parents ignoring their kids so that they can pay attention to their mobile device. JB shares observations from restaurants and shopping malls where kids are desperately trying to get a parent's attention, only to have mom or dad zeroed in on their mobile device -- and nothing else. (It'll be interesting when the tables are turned and the kid is old enough to have a phone and start ignoring the parent, right?) Later, JB shares a story about watching one family where the kids were in control even though mom and dad thought they had the upper hand.

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Every family has drama and whispers -- sometimes it's cutthroat, sometimes it's innocent gossiping. This week, Jeremy Bradley shares details about a recent health diagnosis from his parents while outlining why the shocking news isn't affecting him as people might think. What could potentially be a death sentence for both parents has JB shrugging his shoulders. Why is he reacting that way? JB reveals details about a strained relationship that few people know about. Later, JB talks about a relative who's making questionable romantic and life choices. It, too, has family members chattering from the sidelines. But the big question: If you're not close with the relative, should you keep your lips zipped and not offer opinion? JB explains later in the show.

Another year older, another uneventful birthday - Episode 493 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It's OK to not make a big deal about your birthday. That's certainly how Jeremy Bradley goes through life. He turns 42 this week and has no intention of having a big hurrah to celebrate. In fact, he prefers not having any attention from people. But why is that? JB explains the reason for keeping low-key birthdays on his wish list. On the flip side, he talks about the annoyance of people who believe that their birthday entitles them to a day of princess treatment simply because, well, they happened to be born on a certain day of the year. Is he bitter? Listen and find out.

MORE Customer service ain't what it used to be - Episode 491 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Sounding like a broken record, Jeremy Bradley repeats his belief that "customer service ain't what it used to be." To prove his fact -- and practically laugh at the ridiculousness of the newly rebranded "customer experience" when it's anything but -- JB talks about how businesses that he once enjoyed frequenting are now on his blacklist. Later, he discusses his belief that customer service should be kicked up a notch when someone is working in your home and/or on your property. Or, is customer service customer service no matter where it happens?

The anti-technology episode v2.0 - Episode 489 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Another walk down memory lane for the old folks! Jeremy Bradley responds to conversations with listeners about last week's episode. For people growing up in the 1990s and 2000s, there are distinct -- and perhaps fond -- memories of technology. Everything from dial-up internet and the struggles to get quick access to porn, to giant cellphones that needed a fanny pack to be carried properly. (They sure as hell weren't fitting in your pocket!) JB continues his discussion about an era that's not forgotten by a certain generation.

The anti-technology episode - Episode 488 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

If you're in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll relate to this episode! Jeremy Bradley talks about being a computer owner back in the 1990s and early 2000s. The systems were minimal and basic, and, you know what, they were perfectly fine! JB has a laugh talking about his family's 256 MB computer and having to uninstall programs just to free up space to use a scanner they got for Christmas. Plus, the era of dial-up internet -- with the AOL CDs and the squealing phone lines and the virus fears, JB reflects on how slow everything was back then. Could you tolerate that today? Probably not. Later, he talks about how many VCRs he went through as an avid TV watcher and the pain of finding two minutes of a video clip on the six-hour tape.

Is it classy or trashy to talk about your money? - Episode 487 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It seems like everyone is complaining about money nowadays: how little they make at their jobs, how expensive groceries are, how unaffordable housing is. So, is it a little classless to talk about how much money you make -- as in having a great income? Jeremy Bradley talks about how growing up he and his brothers never dared ask their parents -- or any adult -- how much money they made. It seems commonplace, however, to openly discuss salaries with friends and even co-workers. But, JB wonders if "influencers" flashing up screenshots of their alleged earnings from social media are meant to inspire people or make them jealous.

Think about death before it's too late - Episode 486 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

People often avoid thinking about death because it's seen as a distant event that there will plenty of time to worry about later. Jeremy Bradley talks about coincidental conversations he's had with friends about "the end." He shares how friends have recently experienced death in their respective families and how each situation posed logistical and emotional complications. From those chats, JB said it led to deeper discussion -- and thought -- about their own deaths because oftentimes people start to look at their own life after they've been affected by someone's passing.

Enough pandering and profiting off Pride - Episode 485 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 31 May 2024 14:00:00 +0000

The world is still reacting to the Donald Trump hush-money verdict. Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts as an "outsider" (Canadian) while the world watched on. JB talks about how everything related to American politics is a spectacle and why he thought there would be riots and burning buildings across the U.S. on Thursday night. Later, Pride month is about to kick off and JB shares his opinion about big corporations profiting off the LGBTQ community. He also talks about how it used to be the GLB community, then LGB community, then LGBT community, then LGBTQ community -- and now several other variations to include numbers and characters. Is the changing meaning of "Pride" a good thing or has its original message been lost? (Remember a few years ago when New York City's Pride parade didn't even have a gay man as a marshal but every other diversity box was checked?)

Learn to communicate... or get lost - Episode 484 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 24 May 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Ain't got time for that. Most people are glued to a communication device for much of their waking hours yet how are they so terrible at, well, communicating? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he only gives people a few chances to get back to him before cutting them off entirely. If they can't even acknowledge his correspondence then he cuts them loose from his contact list. Plus, JB questions why everybody feels the need to be a content creator nowadays. Why is there such a focus on entertaining people and not simply living for yourself? He discusses what it was like when he got into broadcasting and publishing 20 years ago where not everybody had a platform and you needed to have something to say -- and prove your worth -- to get the airtime or page space.

What's the best way to say goodbye? - Episode 483 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 May 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Saying goodbye is never easy but it must be done. And before you think this is about death, it's not! Jeremy Bradley talks about the tough decisions he made when walking away from a lucrative job hosting a syndicated radio show after 15 years. It's one thing to be cancelled and not have an opportunity to say goodbye, but what about when you know the end is near? JB talks about what went into planning his farewell broadcast and how it was nothing like the initial plan. Plus, what's "the KFC story" from the radio show? He explains later in the podcast.

The problem with today's workers - Episode 482 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 May 2024 14:00:00 +0000

The workplace ain't what it used to be. In recent years, there's been a drastic shift in the focus of how companies operate. Less and less is it about employees conforming to the needs of the business, instead companies have to bend to what its workforce demands. Jeremy Bradley talks about his time working as a teenager and in his 20s where he bowed down to employers because he needed the job. Now, as an employer, he feels workers should still be grateful to have the work. That's not to say employees should be treated like slaves but the business should come first -- because at the end of the day, that's the point of the job: getting money in exchange for doing the work. JB talks about why he would never hire a millennial to work on his broadcast or publishing team -- a team that's been together for nearly 20 years... with no staff turnover.

Kathy Griffin and her life on the PTSD list - Episode 481 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 May 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Kathy Griffin returns to the comedy stage... and to Canada! This week, Kathy chats with Jeremy Bradley about her love for the Great White North. Plus, KG revisits that infamous "Trump head" photo that got her life turned upside down. KG recalls the Secret Service interrogations, but were they really that serious or did they cut her some slack because she's a comedian? Plus, after the hubbub, KG's relationships with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen hit a rough patch -- or did they end entirely? JB asks to find out their relationship status.

Are you more like your parents or your grandparents? - Episode 480 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

This week would've marked Jeremy Bradley's grandma's 95th birthday. He takes a walk down memory lane reliving memories of his childhood and the final years of his baba's life. He talks about how relationships with grandparents change as you get older and how you have a new appreciation for your bond. Plus, once they pass, it can make us wonder what of our personality traits we got from them. Commonly used as an insult, "You're just like your mother" can be a slap in the face, but when someone tells you you're like your grandma, is that a good thing? JB thinks so. He explains why.

How picky are you with food expiration dates? - Episode 479 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

We hear they're merely a suggestion of when your food is "best before" but do you pay attention to the dates on the packaging? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he does visual and sniff tests while ignoring whatever dates are marked on the food products. In fact, you won't believe how "expired" the salad dressing was he once had that, as he says, made the best salad ever. Later, people are expected to have "hometown pride" and brag about where they grew up and represent it when travelling. JB talks about how Winnipeg has become such a shameful city that he doesn't even pretend it's a decent place to live or visit. (This is why he and his husband spend more time in their West Hollywood house than in Winnipeg.) If residents don't have confidence in their own communities, are they doomed to fail?

The trouble with today's news media - Episode 478 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Fake news, fake news, fake news! In recent years, there's been a shift in how the public views the news media. Its credibility and accuracy have been tested, leading many to mistrust journalists. Though, what constitutes a "journalist" nowadays is maybe part of the problem. Jeremy Bradley, a 20-year newspaper columnist and 18-year radio host, shares his thoughts about the changing media landscape and why people don't respect the craft -- and also how the craft has changed to the point where journalists now view covering the story as their own moment. JB talks about the solar eclipse coverage that had journalists not just telling a story but making the moment about them.

Customer service ain't what it used to be... again - Episode 477 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley is back with more customer service nightmare experiences. JB talks about the frustrations of stores making customers become employees by ringing up and bagging their own purchases. He talks about how he takes matters into his own hands when there's a lineup at self-checkout and pressures staff from around the store to assist at the registers. He's even set off a store alarm. Plus, phoning in for customer support is taking longer than ever. But, why is that? Is it because staff aren't trained properly? Or is it the way that companies structure those customer service departments? Is remote work problematic for efficiency with call center and chat support teams? JB shares his thoughts.

Spring cleaning season is almost here - Episode 476 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Spring cleaning is usually seen as a chore, if not a punishment, for homeowners. It's something people tell themselves they need to do -- either on a weekend or rainy day -- to free up space and de-clutter. Jeremy Bradley talks about the randomness of his closets, cupboards and even fridge. It's not until he noticed an accumulation of undated sauces and dressings in his fridge that he wondered how long some items have been chilling (literally) amongst the other groceries. Then, there's the "junk drawer" everyone's kitchen has. You know it's got a little bit of everything but how much of it is actually needed? JB talks about a hallway closet that's used as a default storage area that has amassed the most random of random things in the 16 years he's lived in his house.

Lemon got squeezed and is out of juice... already - Episode 475 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Don Lemon's new podcast/talk show launched this week with the scandalous Elon Musk interview that got him fired -- er, non-fired fired. Jeremy Bradley, a trained journalist of 20 years, chimes in on his thoughts from a journalistic perspective and as a regular listener. JB comments on Lemon's approach and tone that was awkward from the first few minutes. Lemon's former job as a cable news host transferred over to The Don Lemon Show and it worked against him while challenging an uninterested challenger like Musk. That appeared to throw off Lemon who couldn't accept Musk's unwillingness to answer questions. Also, why did Lemon have to throw shade when asking questions -- such as referencing Musk's many lawsuits and how he misspelled something in an online post? Plus, Lemon is now playing the race and gay cards in his followup rants. JB breaks it down on the show this week.

Oscars, Kate, Lemon... oh my! - Episode 474 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 14:00:00 +0000

When Sunday has the Oscars and a royal scandal, you know it's going to be a delicious week for celebrity news. Jeremy Bradley recaps his thoughts on the Oscars and why people don't seem to care about awards shows anymore. Plus, he gives insight into what covering red carpets was like when he first got into broadcasting compared to what it's like today: professionally trained reporters versus selfie-taking TikTok'ers. Then, the Kate Middleton photo flop has people around the world wondering what's happening with the princess as she remains in hiding after allegedly having a mysterious surgery earlier this year. JB explains why the edited photo is such a big deal for news outlets. Later, Don Lemon was set for his big return to broadcasting only to have another womp-womp moment for his faltering career. JB chimes in on the latest downfall for the disgraced former news anchor.

It's election... year in America - Episode 473 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Super Tuesday, State of the Union -- it's all politics all the time, it seems for Americans. Canadian Jeremy Bradley has some thoughts about the week full of U.S. politics. As a Canuck, JB talks about how Canadian elections are much simpler -- and shorter -- than those to the south. Mostly, Canadians don't even know the date of the next election, let alone have an emotional investment in the campaign. JB talks about how in his 41 years of going to family gatherings he's never heard an intense political discussion amongst his relatives. Why? Because Canadians just aren't into it as much as Americans.

Love is overrated - Episode 472 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Do people really need love to feel complete? Jeremy Bradley says no. Last week on the show, JB talked about how society has become too needy and caught up on feedback and "likes" because of social media. This week, he reflects on his childhood and how he didn't have anyone patting him on the head and telling him how smart he was or that he was loved. Instead, he found love within himself after he realized he would be the only one always looking out for him. Because of that, JB developed a thick skin where he doesn't require compliments or positive reinforcement to feel good about his accomplishments in life. Now, happily married, JB says he understands how love can make you feel complete if you want it to make you feel complete. In the end, he says, some people don't want love in their life -- at least not from other people, anyway.

For whom are you living? - Episode 471 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Society has become needy, if not obsessed, with getting feedback and attention. It's largely thanks to everyone having a platform with social media. Jeremy Bradley talks about how living in the moment has created a happy life for him. JB shares his thoughts about seeing vacation photos of people who are clutching their phones on the beach as someone takes a picture of them. Are they focused on what's around them or entertaining an audience on their own devices? JB reveals his super-secret wedding years ago that he considers to be more special than having hundreds of guests and thousands of photos snapped from everyone's phones.

Super Bowl ends with a bang... 20-something of 'em - Episode 470 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 15:00:00 +0000

What a wild news week. Super Bowl kicked off the major news stories and it, well, kinda dominated again midweek thanks to (another) mass shooting in the U.S. Jeremy Bradley recaps the news from Las Vegas to Kansas City as the Chiefs win went from celebratory to tragic. As for the game: Is there too much fascination with Taylor Swift? Are "Swifties" too obsessive? JB has some thoughts on idolizing millionaires and billionaires, and the problem with people thinking they have a connection to them. Plus, it was Valentine's Day and that has couples posting ooey-gooey tributes and photos of the obligatory flowers and goodies they exchanged. Is it romantic or tacky to have relationships play out so publicly? JB has some thoughts.

Valentine's Day has become too showy - Episode 469 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Valentine's Day is here and it's time for couples to gush about their love for one another while posting photos of their romance. It makes Jeremy Bradley want to puke. JB talks about how relationships play out too much on social media and people are seemingly living their lives for the entertainment of others. JB mentions how he and his husband have never done lovey-dovey public posts because, well, they talk to each other and express themselves face to face. Nothing about their relationship is for show. JB discusses how it's not special to post the pics of flowers and gifts that your partner felt obligated to give you on Feb. 14. Show the stuff they surprised you with on a random Wednesday morning!

Are your viewing habits maturing with age? - Episode 468 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 15:00:00 +0000

As we age, our viewing habits change -- or do they? That's what Jeremy Bradley discusses on the show this week. He talks about getting older and how the trashy TV he used to find entertaining doesn't hit the spot anymore. While he jumped on the reality TV bandwagon in his 20s and 30s, JB is leaning to documentaries and serious programming now. As you mature, do your TV and movie interests change? JB has some thoughts. Plus, as someone who doesn't watch porn -- because he's married and gets fulfillment other ways -- JB discusses how people watch adult content in today's short-attention-span culture. He wonders how specific people get when they're searching for their XXX entertainment. JB continues, wondering what constitutes the classification of "porn" nowadays with TV and movies showing actual, graphic sex scenes.

Have you ever been glad somebody died? - Episode 467 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000

It's a weird question to start off the show, but Jeremy Bradley asks if you've ever been happy that somebody died. After getting in touch with a friend from his past, JB took a walk down memory lane to remember other people from that time in his life. He took time to Google those people and look up their social media pages, only to discover that one of them had died a few years earlier. When he reunited with the former friend, they discussed that person with whom they'd had a mutual connection. And the story of the death wasn't as sad as you might think. JB explains how he was taken aback by how casual the details were shared and how it didn't seem to be a sad moment in time.

If an awards show went unwatched, did it really happen? - Episode 466 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Awards show season is in full swing and Jeremy Bradley -- an entertainment reporter for nearly 20 years -- has some thoughts about the continual decline of viewer interest. JB talks about his early days covering the shows and their red carpets. He talks about how the reporting of them has changed and how the focus has gradually shifted thanks to social media and everybody making the moment about themselves. JB recalls a recent conversation with Melissa Rivers, who reflected on the iconic moments co-hosting red carpets with her mom, Joan, and how broadcasters would never have thought to ask for a selfie at an event. Are people tuning out because they're sick of seeing the rich and famous patting themselves on the back?

To split or not to split... the check - Episode 465 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Who picks up the tab after a night out with friends? Does everyone pay their own way? Does the party split the bill evenly? That's a big discussion topic as dining etiquette is debated. Jeremy Bradley talks about the different scenarios in which he pays the bill -- but would he chip in if everyone else ate and drank more than he did? Later, school and team fundraisers are common for kids to get roped into. (How can you say no to such a cute little face?) But one parent said he's willing to buy all the chocolates to save his kid from having to go begging door to door to raise money for the school. JB talks about which side of the debate he's on: make the kid fundraise or give the money yourself so your kid is spared the hassle.

The Golden Bachelor put a ring on it... but for how long? - Episode 464 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000

ABC successfully exploited another temporary couple with the new series The Golden Bachelor and its subsequent televised wedding months after the engagement. Jeremy Bradley comments on the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise's success rate and why he's skeptical about this latest couple rushing things even faster than the younger folks on the shows. Was the wedding really about the couple? Of course not -- especially when a major TV network was paying for everything. Can they really feel it's their special day when 90% of the guests were people from other seasons of the shows whom they'd never heard of before? Later, the dreaded new year's resolution: the self-imposed punishment to change what you don't want to change. JB has some thoughts about that, too.

How to change your outlook on the year that was - Episode 463 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Now more than ever, the year that's coming to an end is described as "a dumpster fire." People focus on how terrible the past 365 days were that they lose sight of the great thing that happened throughout the year. Jeremy Bradley talks about how he spends his time between Christmas and new year's. It's not about looking forward and saying, "thank god the year is over" as if the flip of a calendar magically changes things. Instead, JB takes a walk down memory lane to focus on the incredible moments from the year.

Being solo during the holiday season is just fine - Episode 462 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Single folks tend to feel lonely, perhaps shamed, during the holiday season. Jeremy Bradley says there's no reason to feel that way as long as you make the most of your time. The commercialization of Christmas makes people feel like if they don't have the glamorous shindigs and fancy dinners and beautiful decorations and a houseful of people that somehow their holiday is a sad failure. Not so. JB finds the positives in being alone this time of year.

Does it really have to be the most wonderful time of the year? - Episode 461 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

The holiday season is in full swing but not everyone feels that way. And Jeremy Bradley says that's OK. There's so much emphasis on surrounding yourself with people (who, let's be honest, will pay more attention to their phone than the others around them) during the holidays that we're made to feel like being on your own is a bad thing. JB says that being alone can sometimes be more fun. The pandemic had JB and his husband appreciate a scaled-down holiday season away from the craziness, noise and spectacle. Later, it was an annual event to make your Christmas wish list as a kid. When did that stop? Or, as an adult do you still list what you want for holiday gifts? JB talks about how his husband better not dare ask what to get for Christmas. Why? Tune in to find out.

A tree falls on a neighbor's fence, do you make a sound? - Episode 460 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

He sounds like a broken record at this point but Jeremy Bradley insists "customer service ain't what it used to be." JB reflects on his time working in the service industry. He talks about how in retail he felt good about going above and beyond to help customers. Now, things have changed. JB talks about how workers don't have that connection with the clients they serve because the "customer experience" has become less personal and more transactional (think $$$). JB takes things one step further by talking about how a company hired to do work on his property caused damage and seemingly had no intention of saying anything. But, JB caught it on camera and confronted a worker.

Age-shame all you want, older folks have it better - Episode 459 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

People tend to age-shame folks as they get older (OK, boomer) but that generation has it much better than the younger ones nowadays. Jeremy Bradley, 41, talks about a snotty kid making fun of his age and trying to make him feel like his life is over because he's old. JB claps back and says he's glad he's not a youngster in today's world simply because of teenage bullying and the unattainable dream of home ownership. JB says perhaps those millennials (or whatever they're called) should take note from people who've experienced life and are established -- he notes, as a person who retired at 39 years old.

Recognizing the turkeys in your life... and those fist-fighting for Black Friday deals - Episode 458 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Thanksgiving is traditionally the kickoff to the holiday season. It's a time of togetherness and overeating... and fist fights over political differences... and staring at your phone while ignoring your family. Jeremy Bradley comments about how the dynamic has changed since he was a kid. Plus, he also discusses being in the moment and why people shouldn't post their Wi-Fi password for guests attending their party. JB's rule: you leave your phone in a bag at the door and collect it when you leave. Later, Black Friday is here and you have to wonder if those people rolling on the floor tasering other shoppers in viral videos really want that cheap TV or if it's just the thrill of the chase. JB talks about bargain shopping and the competition it spurs.

The hashtag "RelationshipGoals" is soooooo obnoxious - Episode 457 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

It's usually the people in gushing lovey-dovey relationships that use #relationshipgoals on social media posts. It often follows a long-winded paragraph of someone expressing their undying love for a partner -- usually with some kind of picture accompanying it. The declaration tends to happen on birthdays, Valentine's Day and anniversaries -- and it's for no other reason to, let's be honest, rub it in people's faces. Happily married, Jeremy Bradley, is someone who maintains a private relationship and believes you show your partner every day that you love them and doesn't feel the need to profess his happiness for validation from the social media world. Later, JB rants about people sharing too much on social media. Is it OK to feel better about yourself when reading the woe-is-me posts by people who are chronically self-proclaimed victims in a so-called unjust world?

Do you live with regrets or accept all you've done? - Episode 456 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

It's week 2 of Ask JB! Jeremy Bradley addresses some life questions sent in by listeners. JB famously signed off from a popular syndicated radio show after 15 years at the age of 39... and hasn't looked back! An aspiring entrepreneur listener wants to know if JB has any career regrets or if he would change anything -- like going back into full-time work. Later, on the subject of regrets, does happily married JB have any relationship regrets? JB shares some private details about his life that, quite honestly, are shocking. Also, JB gives his advice on giving advice. You read that correctly. JB's always asked for advice so how does he advise people give advice to someone?

So many fees just to be a customer - Episode 455 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 14:00:00 +0000

The cost of everything is going up but what about the fees that add even more to your already-inflated bill? Jeremy Bradley talks about surcharges that, quite honestly, are an easy money grab. For instance, on one delivery app, a few dollars is added to the order for a heavy-item fee. (Basically, the customer is charged extra just because a bag of dog food is a heavier item.) What in the shopping or delivery process justifies adding more to the bill if it's someone going to a store and driving the item to your door? This, in addition to service fees, delivery fees, taxes and tip make it unreasonable to order certain items or use certain apps/services. Speaking of tipping, is that getting too out of control? JB has thoughts on that, too.

Workplace drama makes the office go 'round - Episode 454 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

It's an episode of Ask JB this week. Jeremy Bradley answers listener questions that seek advice about workplace drama. Is there such a thing as "smoker privilege" in the office? Do smokers feel like they can just leave and go outside for a puff whenever they choose? What if it's affecting the work of non-smokers? Later, could the same questions be asked about working parents? That's another discussion: should parents get more flexibility simply because they have kids? Or are rules the rules for everyone in the workplace? Should the business conform to an employee's needs or should the workers conform to the business needs? JB shares his thoughts on the subject.

The politics of office holiday parties and gift giving - Episode 453 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

The holiday season is fast approaching and Jeremy Bradley discusses the excitement (or dread) of the staff party. Is it something you look forward to or are people just working for the sake of working and getting the hell away from co-workers once the workday is done? He talks about a company party he attended where staff said they were forced to go so it showed that their department was represented and wouldn't look bad. Plus, what's the protocol for buying a gift or card for your boss? On the flip side, do you expect something from your boss? JB has thoughts about mixing gift giving and professional relationships.

What a crazy week for Friday the 13th - Episode 452 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

It's almost frightening how much has been in the news this week. From the crisis in Israel to the Taylor Swift spectacle in Los Angeles to the billion-dollar Power Ball jackpot to the Speaker of the House drama -- how can we maintain our sanity? Or can we? Jeremy Bradley tackles the dominating headlines on the show this week. With the war in Israel, JB wonders if news reporting is making an already-tragic situation worse. He comments on the media and reporting, primarily how things are presented online by traditional media outlets and random users. Plus, Taylor Swift shutdown a mall this week to premiere her concert movie. Is the world a little too into Swift? JB has some thoughts.

Are dating apps and dating shows ruining relationships? - Episode 451 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Happily married Jeremy Bradley chimes in on the status of relationships nowadays. After a recent dinner with two of his cousins, JB shares a story about his 50-some-year-old relative getting back into the dating scene after a divorce. She talked about the games guys her age are playing but how she also spies and even catfishes them to test their loyalty. Are shows like MTV's Catfish and ABC's The Bachelor/Bachelorette ruining relationships? Or has social media made it an open market for an endless dating pool where the next person is always a click (or swipe) away? JB has thoughts on relationships and technology.

There are ways to save using credit cards and apps - Episode 450 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Credit cards are notorious for putting people in debt. (Or is it the people that put themselves in debt?) Either way, Jeremy Bradley -- a bestselling author of a "cheapskate" book -- reveals the many ways you can save money by using credit cards and how you can lower the costs of using apps. JB has creative workarounds for some transactions and how doing a little bit of planning can see big savings. Sure, all the ways are legal but some might be a little, well, immoral? Nevertheless, saving is saving!

The so-called "customer experience" is less than gold star - Episode 449 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

If he's said it once, he's said it a thousand times: customer service ain't what it used to be. That's how Jeremy Bradley feels and he explains why being a customer is so exhausting nowadays. He also says he understands why people are losing their minds when they endure a bad "customer experience" with employees or a business. JB talks about a trying two hours of being a customer and how it made him not want to deal with any companies for a long time. Later, when it comes to customer service, is tipping getting out of hand? He's talked about it on the show before but now JB understands why consumers are getting offended about being asked for tips in more and more places.

The new TV season is here... just kidding! - Episode 448 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Fall is here-ish and the new TV season is starting... or is it? Jeremy Bradley talks about the programming strategies the networks are having while most (all?) scripted shows are off the air because of Hollywood strikes. With writers demanding more -- and better -- pay, JB has some thoughts about their position on wages and residuals. Should TV and movie writers be paid forever because of a project? Or, should they be like any corporate writer who's paid the one time to write for someone and the money ends after that project? JB shares his opinion on his fellow writers. Later, do you find that as you get older your viewing habits change? JB talks about his "maturing TV tastes."

If you don't like the pay, get a different job - Episode 447 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 08 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

It was the summer of the strike. Workers in a variety of industries either walked off the job or threatened strike action in recent months. Jeremy Bradley talks about workers agreeing to certain pay and benefit arrangements when taking the job but then coming forward down the road and complaining they were insufficient -- or at least haven't kept up with the times. JB wonders if this new strike trend will continue or if people will eventually find new work if they're unhappy with their current arrangement. He discusses the "pandemic cojones" people had when they reassessed their job situation and, in some cases, made drastic changes to their career. Although, it seems to be a rite of passage to complain about your job with co-workers so maybe people should just shut up and deal with what they've agreed to.

Listen up, inconsiderate dog owners! - Episode 446 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Responsible pet parent, Jeremy Bradley, has some words for people who have no control over (or just don't care to control) their dogs in public. JB shares some stories from around his community when dogs have come running at him while he's walking his dogs and how some owners feel their dog -- on those 60-ft. retractable leashes -- have control of public sidewalks. JB throws down and gives them a pet parent smackdown. Later, a dog showed up at JB's front door -- literally, ran up the front stairs and sat at the door -- which caused all sorts of chaos on a Sunday morning.

Is the weather getting a little scary for you? - Episode 445 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 25 Aug 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Fires to the north, fires to the east, fires to the south, fires to the west. That's the reality in North America and Jeremy Bradley isn't going on a rant about global warming or climate change, but rather how weather patterns seem to be flipping in his home province of Manitoba. Instead of a sweltering summer, it's been mild -- almost cold -- in August. Meanwhile, other Canadian locations are scorching, and American cities are under extreme weather alerts for heat. Is the constant wild weather making you wonder what's down the road in the coming months and years? JB shares his thoughts. Later, is it really "the thought that counts" when it comes to gift giving? Or do you secretly check to see how much someone might've spend on your gift? JB talks about a co-worker who's researching gift prices in her new relationship.

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Class is back in session -- or it will be -- for students around the world. Jeremy Bradley takes a walk down memory lane and shares stories about preparing for a new school year. It had all the excitement: picking out pencil crayons, color-coding notebooks, organizing a backpack. All stuff that today's kids, well, probably don't do... or at the very least consider lame-o. Later, JB shares his memories about what he liked and didn't like about certain classes. The endless Shakespeare lessons in English class. Why? What was the point? Has it ever come in handy over 20 years later? (Maybe that's debatable, but for the most part, no.) Whether you like/liked school or hate/hated school, you'll have an opinion on the conversation this week.

He's 41 years old now and Jeremy Bradley says he's mastered aging. How does JB stay young, vital, energetic and fun? This week, he shares stories about going through life without rules: not telling himself no when an opportunity presents itself. (Examples of what he doesn't do: "No, because I have to get up early in the morning" or "No, because..." His answer: Why not? Want to have a dance party with the husband and dogs at 2 a.m.? Do it. Want to order junk food and pig out in bed all day? Do it. JB shares the inspiration and people he's not trying to mimic based on their outlook on and negative disposition in life.

Retired and turning 41 years old... and lovin' it! - Episode 441 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley is days away from turning 41 years old. (Save all your over-the-hill jokes because they don't work.) JB talks about how he's never been ashamed of getting older and wonders why people have hangups about revealing their age as they get older. It's not even for professional reasons it's that people just hide their age from others. JB talks about how he looked back at photos from exactly 20 years ago and still has the same energy level and silliness as he did when he was 21. By comparison, his brother, who's married with three kids, looks hella different and not nearly as happy as he did back then. Hmm... why could that be? JB celebrates his 41st birthday on the show this week.

There's racism in Tennessee's country music? - Episode 440 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Jason Aldean has been dominating the headlines this week after his new music video has sparked outrage. He says people are getting wrong the message about small-town living in his song and video for Try That in a Small Town. Jeremy Bradley recaps the drama for the country star who, despite the controversy, is topping the charts with the track and trending on social media. (Any publicity is good publicity, right? Apparently so.) Later, JB talks about being suspended from Instagram -- an app he hadn't used in over two weeks -- for what Meta flagged as "spam." It wasn't just him, it's been happening to others.

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts as a gay man about the never-ending drama surrounding the trans community. JB explains that each letter in the growing LGBTQIA alphabet represents something different and shouldn't be considered one big "community" of "everything not straight." It comes after JB wrote newspaper columns during Pride because some readers expressed their dislike of the trans community. JB stepped up to say he's a gay man and not trans, highlighting the distinct differences. But, JB takes issue with having to do that in the first place.

You can't have an opinion because you're a... - Episode 438 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 14:00:00 +0000

In today's world it seems like you're only allowed to have an opinion if you're "one of them." Jeremy Bradley talks about how, as a white man, he's already discredited if he comments about a woman on social media. Immediately, he says, he's jumped on as sexist and the term "toxic masculinity" is used even though the general comment had nothing to do with gender. By default, he's written off because he's a "privileged" white guy. JB shares thoughts about conclusion jumping and how it likely doesn't help when society is already so divided. Later, every office has politics and, more annoyingly, buzzwords. JB talks about the words he can't stand in "corporate speak."

Is it wrong to celebrate your (troubled) country nowadays? - Episode 437 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Both Canada and the United States are heading into holidays, celebrating their respective birthdays. That often leads to criticism (nowadays, anyway) about celebrating the injustice and problems that a nation has. Jeremy Bradley discusses the debate about not recognizing a country's birthday at all versus going all out and being proud to live in a place where people have freedoms and luxuries -- while on the flip side, circling back to realize that many don't have the same freedoms and luxuries as everyone else in that place. Later, are you a hoarder when it comes to memories from your childhood and early adult life? JB talks about his collections from world travel and the need to hang onto stuff that he hasn't even looked at, in some cases, for 20 years.

Suicide sub mission and government bullies - Episode 436 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 14:00:00 +0000

All eyes were on the Titanic adventurers this week but perhaps not for the reason the media would have liked. Jeremy Bradley talks about the story that dominated news headlines and how the public -- at least the social media mob -- had little remorse for the dead passengers of the doomed Titan craft. Mocking memes and outrage that millions were spent on finding presumed-dead foreign billionaires were just some of the comments online. Was it justified? Is society now dictating what's newsworthy and what's not? JB shares his thoughts on the story. Later, he comments how people are also fed up with governments bullying citizens. JB was shocked to be threatened with time behind bars for something he didn't even know was a rule for his property.

Also, what were JB and Matt doing when they were 15 years old like the contestants? Finally, JB is fired up about a telemarketing call that came through on the studio hotline moments before the show.

Unreliable people, unreliable technology - Episode 433 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Most people are excited about new technology and look forward to getting the latest and greatest new device. Not Jeremy Bradley. JB talks about a scary moment at his house that nearly had tragic consequences -- and he blames technology. It's put a fear in him with regard to electronic devices. Later, JB discusses the hassle of finding reliable people on a service app. Users list their personal -- and professional? -- services (for instance, dog sitting) but either don't reply or have terrible communication. He lays out the frustration of having little to no success finding reliable people... despite their supposed five-star reviews on the app.

Fri, 26 May 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley celebrates 20 years of "being out." JB retells his unique story about coming out to his family on the worst day of their lives. Why did he choose that moment? And, how did they react? You've got to hear the story. Also, it's the standard question all gay people are asked at some point: When did you know you were gay? (Are straight people asked when they knew they liked the opposite sex?) Plus, how does JB feel about corporations cashing in on the gay community for Pride month? Are they profiting during the one month they wave the Pride flag? Is it too opportunistic? JB shares his thoughts on that, too.

Are your TV tastes maturing with age? - Episode 431 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 19 May 2023 14:00:00 +0000

An avid TV watcher (thanks to his job as an entertainment reporter), Jeremy Bradley talks about his maturing TV tastes as he gets older. He's more interested in documentaries and programming that are less sensationalized for ratings. JB talks about how he was an avid CNN watcher but has noticed a decline in actual news coverage as the struggling network has moved too far into commentary programming. JB recalls watching CNN as a teenager because it had edge-of-your-seat reporting showing stories as they unfolded and didn't rely heavily on analysts and "experts" to speculate and draw conclusions or produce narratives. Later, a "guilty pleasure" of JB's is watching Catfish on MTV and how people are still duped by scammers online.

At what age do you embrace your, well, age? - Episode 430 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 12 May 2023 14:00:00 +0000

When Jeremy Bradley turned 40 last summer, he wore it like a badge of honor. For some people, however, milestone birthdays are brushed under the rug. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to be/look older? Then, when you're an adult you want to be/look younger? The question on this week's show: At what age do you start to embrace your, well, age? JB calls executive producer, Bonnie Winters, who's celebrating her birthday and asks if the grandmother (whose grandson is a teenager already) will finally reveal her age. He asks, "If Jane Fonda proudly says she's in her 80s, what's the magic number for Bonnie to embrace it publicly?" Then, JB wonders if it's a "woman thing" because men don't seem to have age hangups like women do. (Thanks for that, Don Lemon.)

Writers strike, Bed Bath & Beyond customers strike out - Episode 429 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 05 May 2023 14:00:00 +0000

As the Writers Guild of America strike wraps up its first week, Hollywood is feeling the effects of the shutdown but do TV and movie viewers really care? Audiences don't have the kind of loyalty to content as they once did. Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts on the strike and how it's exposed a show like The View -- that purportedly has opinionated women discussing and debating topics -- for having commentators that can't function without people writing for them. (How genuine are their views without writers then?) Later, customers are outraged by the lack of deals at the Bed Bath & Beyond close-out sale. JB chimes in with the reason why people aren't getting bargain-basement prices on the first days of the liquidation.

Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, Carol Burnett, Jerry Springer... what a week - Episode 428 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

When multiple stories are breaking on a Monday morning, red flags go up for Jeremy Bradley. That's exactly how he felt this week when news of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon both being fired from cable news jobs hit within 10 minutes of each other. Sure enough, it was a wild news week. JB chimes in on the newsmen suddenly finding themselves being unemployed after each facing multiple scandals in recent months. But there was a good story when Carol Burnett celebrated her 90th birthday midweek. JB shares a segment from 10 years ago when Carol crashed his live radio broadcast at Betty White's 90th bday in Hollywood. Then, on Thursday, the world was shocked by the death of Jerry Springer. Of course, JB has memories of Jerry, who was on the radio seven times with him. There's a montage of clips later in the show.

JB talks about a wild day spent at Disney World for a charity event. Flying from Canada to Orlando and back to Canada all in one day with a bunch of kids. From there, sickness ensued. JB talks about how it happens more than ever before with his air travel. Later, how do you pass the time at an event you don't want to be at? Do you skip out early? Do you busy yourself with your phone? Or do you become a gossipy mean girl with your cousin? Yeah, you figured out where this story goes.

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Self-proclaimed (and bestselling) cheapskate, Jeremy Bradley, talks finances as tax time approaches. Over 10 years ago, JB wrote a book about creative ways to save and spend.

Do forced apologies really make things better? - Episode 425 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

It's one thing to say you're sorry and mean it because you truly feel bad about something you said or did. But when it's a forced apology -- when someone tells you that you need to have that remorse or regret -- does it really make things better? Jeremy Bradley talks about childhood when your parent would make you apologize to another kid and how that seemingly resolved things. Ditto for workplaces, when a co-worker must apologize to others after doing something wrong. Does it make someone feel better when an apology is dictated or mandated? Also, the big debate about taking off your shoes on an airplane: JB has some thoughts about why it's OK to do. Later, have you ever noticed something embarrassing in the background of someone's photo? JB has some laughs about what he's seen.

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley, a trained journalist and broadcaster, shares his interactions with "influencers" who challenged his experience and knowledge in media. JB talks about the judgmental tone while questioned by two bloggers who considered radio to be "old school" and "sooooooo out of date."

Jeremy Bradley celebrates Episode 420 this week with a look back at his previous syndicated radio segment with Tommy Chong in 2018.

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Plus, he comments about how it's funny to watch people's bloopers. Example: Someone doing something stupid on camera and trying to be funny... but getting hurt instead.

The men of daytime TV make headlines - Episode 418 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Daytime TV is usually a fun and upbeat viewing experience. But the new CNN morning show tends to outrage viewers... and it only launched a few months ago! Don Lemon once again offended an entire gender with sexist comments and, rather than apologize, made matters worse with a Twitter statement following his remarks about presidential candidate, Nikki Haley's age. Jeremy Bradley talks about Lemon's odd comments and history of mistreatment of women. As a gay man, JB doesn't understand why Lemon is so anti-woman when females are usually a gay guy's best friends. Hours later, Ryan Seacrest made headlines by announcing his departure from Live with Kelly and Ryan after years of rumors that he and Kelly Ripa don't get along. JB talks about Seacrest's exit from the daytime talker.

Are you suffering from content exhaustion? - Episode 417 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Is it content overload thanks to streaming services, podcast networks and endless TV channels nowadays? Jeremy Bradley reflects on media consumption before the internet took over. There's so much to consume now that it's impossible to keep up with everything -- and still have a life. JB comments on why viewers don't have an emotional connection to the shows they watch anymore. It sounds like people are suffering from content exhaustion. Also, is that why awards shows are losing viewers year after year? Audiences can't follow every show, series and movie, so what's the point of watching if they've never heard of half of the nominees?

The frustration of being a customer - Episode 416 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Customer service ain't what it used to be. Jeremy Bradley talks about the frustration of dealing with businesses. Back when he was working in retail, JB says the focus was always on the customer. Now, it seems like companies -- the big ones, anyway -- make the customer experience as impersonal as possible. Rather than having direct human interactions, companies depend on chat bots, email blasts, obnoxious text messages and pop-up notifications. JB notes how it is becoming increasingly difficult to find contact information on company websites. Instead, customers are given endless pages of "resources" and "knowledge bases" to solve their own problems. Even when calling a company to get help, JB says that conversation is taking much longer than it used to. Is this why we see so many customer freak-outs caught on bystander cameraphone?

It's an app show - Episode 415 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

The world seems to revolve around apps nowadays. And it sounds like Jeremy Bradley is one of the least-interested people when it comes to that form of technology. JB questions apps needing access to certain phone functions and files. With users granting all access, is that what leads to identity theft and hacking? Why does a casino game need access to a camera and contact list? Plus, JB talks about the pros and cons of using food delivery and grocery delivery apps. They're convenient, sure, but can be annoying as hell. Later, how much does the average user spend on subscriptions in a year? One company says it could be thousands of dollars. How accurate is that? JB chimes in.

It's been a helluva news week - Episode 414 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Alec Baldwin could get locked up for manslaughter, legendary singer-songwriter David Crosby died -- and that was just in the past 24 hours. What a week it's been in the news and entertainment worlds, says Jeremy Bradley. JB discusses the Baldwin story and wonders why murder in entertainment is OK and has audiences riveted. JB shares thoughts about why that might blur the lines when it comes to gun violence and murder in real life. Plus, Crosby's death shocked music fans. As the tributes come in, JB discusses the idea of people having opinions when it comes to artists. There's no denying that Crosby was a legend and talented performer, but it's common for people to say "he sucked" simply because they don't like an artist's work.

It's a back-in-my-day kinda show - Episode 413 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

You know you're getting old when you start talking about how things were "back in my day." Jeremy Bradley recalls his time as a student journalist and his fascination with news. JB talks about how the broadcast industry has changed. It wasn't a 24-7 news world back then -- there was no internet news, social media and instant updates. Ah, the good old days. He talks about what got him interest in covering stories and the excitement of not knowing what you would be doing when going into work each day. Young whippersnappers and old-school journos will appreciate the comparisons and differences.

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

So, you flipped the calendar and it's a new year. What does it mean? Absolutely nothing, according to Jeremy Bradley. JB explains why he doesn't understand the fascination about new year's resolutions and why people need to use the calendar as an excuse to overcome their laziness. Why must it be like a countdown to improving yourself? Later, JB talks about the new year's broadcasts on TV and how the networks ring in the new year. Plus, he talks about how he celebrates the end of the year, and it's likely for different reasons than most people.

In recent months, JB has become pen pals with inmates and has had deep conversations about their lives and begun to understand that, despite what they've been convicted of, they are humans, too. He shares stories about his former journalism instructor who held up banks and is behind bars in Canada. The public opinion is that the robber must be a terrible guy, however, those who know him knew something else was wrong. Interesting conversation points on the show this week.

Jeremy Bradley shares a story about someone in his neighborhood sharing a very personal bathroom-type issue and asking for assistance. It had nothing to do with the purpose of the group -- to share information relevant to other residents -- and it had JB wonder why people run to social media rather than have private one-on-one interactions with others. Later, everyone has different routines but does it totally throw off your game when the usual doesn't happen? JB was mocked for his morning and bedtime routines.

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 14:00:00 +0000

There are so many websites that give advice and tell you what you "should" do in life: "Want to sleep better? Do this and don't to that. Want to be happier? Make these changes."

Much has been made about the cost of, well, everything in recent months. Jeremy Bradley takes aim at big corporations making billions in profits yet offering their products and services at prices that consumers find ridiculous.

Fri, 16 Sep 2022 14:00:00 +0000

When it comes to live tweeting or social media commentary, should it be understood that people crank up the insults and nastiness to be part of the conversation? Do we just "get it" that that's why people watch shows like The Bachelorette or Big Brother and live tweet their thoughts? Jeremy Bradley shares a story about a woman who DM'ed him, taking offense to his tweet and majorly overreacting. Her concern was that it was "hurtful" and "inappropriate" to gay people. So, gay JB carried on the conversation with the straight mom who was telling him what is and isn't harmful to the gay community. JB turned the tables and challenged that her opinion is implying gays are emotionally unstable and weak -- so, was the mom being indirectly homophobic?

But, the workforce has changed where now employers are throwing themselves at candidates because of the so-called labor shortage. Plus, the first day of work often goes the same way: Orientation, meet the team, go for lunch with the boss, shadow co-workers to learn about their job, sit at your desk pretending to familiarize yourself with the company... and once you're comfortable, start gossiping to get the lay of the land.

It's official: People are idiots - Episode 393 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Jeremy Bradley has come to the conclusion that, yes, people suck. It's 30 minutes of observation this week.

JB talks about his preference to still call a company directly rather than message back and forth through a Twitter or Instagram account. Later, JB shares the details of nearly two weeks in isolation because, as he says, people just suck.

But, that doesn't stop JB from observing and critiquing what people do and say online. He talks about people soliciting advice and information online: Asking if Costco is open on a holiday rather than calling the store or looking online. What about a parent asking if a kid can have certain medication? Wouldn't the smartest thing be to check with a doctor or pharmacist? Nah, ask a bunch of randos on social media. Also, are websites and apps going too far with what personal information they collect from you? JB talks about a website's weird "digital wall" for its customers.

What a crazy news week! The dominating headline is the so-called "raid" at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Florida as he's suspected of stealing sensitive documents. Jeremy Bradley isn't dishing political opinion this week, but rather how one person can have so much influence over others. Trump says to protest in D.C. and people do it. Trump says something is a hoax and they believe it. Has social media and the term "influencer" taken over how people think? What happened with being a freethinker and making up your own mind? JB has some thoughts. Plus, Anne Heche is in a coma after a fiery car crash last week. But do you feel sorry for someone who knowingly makes bad decisions and potentially ruins their life? Sometimes there is that "you deserve what's coming" attitude. Later, it's common to be told "you wouldn't understand" when having a debate or discussion with someone.

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

It made international headlines that a country was practically crippled because a phone and internet company went down last week. Yes, Canada essentially came to a standstill when one of the big service providers went offline. It shutdown small businesses, prevented calls from getting through to 9-1-1, people couldn't post pics of their food on Instagram and even The Weeknd's concert was cancelled in Toronto. But Jeremy Bradley doesn't have much sympathy for the companies and organizations that put, as they say, all their eggs in one basket. In fact, JB says they should've known better because there always needs to be a backup plan. JB recounts moments in his professional career where he learned that the hard way. Should major corporations and government agencies have been more prepared than having to go dark because one company went offline?
