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? 

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. 

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.

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 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!

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan: it's Celebrity Death Week. Jeremy Bradley has been on the radio all week recapping the celeb passings with reaction from the entertainment world and beyond. He gives behind-the-scenes details of how breaking news is aired and the unique situation he's been in this week covering the back-to-back-to-back stories. Plus, he replays the time Hulk Hogan was on the radio with him. Later, JB shares his memories of the Osbourne family, as Sharon was a regular guest on his syndicated programming.

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?

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."

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!

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?
