The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Everyone has seen people oversharing on social media. Oftentimes it's to a group of "friends" or "followers" but what about announcing personal information about your health in a community group? 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. 

Ever since he turned the big 4-0 this past summer, Jeremy Bradley is feeling all those over-the-hills jokes... literally. JB talks about sudden pains that are happening and how he's starting to feel like an old man, almost right on cue. Is there something in your body that takes over once you hit those milestone birthdays? Later, JB shares his thoughts on parents rewarding their kids for getting good grades in school. Is it motivation or a bribe? He talks about how being smart was just, sort of, well, the cool thing to be when he was growing up.

Jeremy Bradley talks about the weirdest funeral ever. Ever! It's one thing to make jokes about the deceased but how about the widow's eulogy starting with, "He was a proud asshole" and tells strange stories? Plus,  more discussion about the work ethic of employees and how employers are having to cater to the demands of an entitled workforce. Was it the pandemic that made workers reassess their expectations on the job or is it just a time in the world where "we ain't got time for that" anymore? JB shares his thoughts.

One of the famous (or infamous) segments from Jeremy Bradley's syndicated radio shows was the popular Celebrity Phone chats where the rich and famous call in to surprise JB on the air. This week, Jay Leno crashes the show to talk about cars, comedy and cashing in. The You Bet Your Life host discusses the game show where strangers are teamed up to win big money. Plus, Jay talks about his cruising session with President Biden. What was it like riding shotgun with a speed demon?
NOTE: This episode was recorded three days before Leno was badly burned in a gas explosion.

Canadian Jeremy Bradley has an outsider's opinion on the U.S. election from this week (and for the next month -- Is it STILL happening?). JB outlines the differences between Canadian and American politics and the opinions of voters in both countries. They're hella different! He also talks about understanding why people are fed up with politicians and go to extremes to be heard. Later, JB talks about reaching out to two of his elected officials for assistance and was surprised by the response he got. How he tested one of them and the outcome of his experiment is fascinating. Plus, Twitter scandals continue to make headlines and JB chimes in on the social media nightmare for Elon Musk and the platform's users.

Jeremy Bradley celebrates 10 years of his bestselling book, The Official Guide to Being a Winnipeg Cheapskate with a look back at the inspiration for the book and how the title changed his life. JB reflects on buying his house and how that curved his spending, prompting him to find creative ways to save. Later, he shares some of his tips when it comes to lowering your grocery bill -- including how to ask for discounts -- and ways to save on your food delivery orders.

Halloween is here and pop legend Tiffany joins Jeremy Bradley to celebrate the holiday. The two chatted earlier this month to talk about their Halloween faves -- from costumes to candy to movies. Plus, Tiffany was performing at a Halloween-themed fundraiser for MS and shares why she got involved with the cause. Later, JB goes on a rant about self-checkout kiosks at the grocery store. Are they frustrating or is it easier than dealing with a store employee? JB talks about causing a minor scene during  a recent shopping experience. 

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." But for Jeremy Bradley, people are constantly asking him for advice and it's a source of frustration when he spends hours coaching and mentoring them only for them to do the opposite of his guidance. JB shares his thoughts about friends and family asking for his insight and not taking any of it... and failing miserably at what they were pursuing. Is it OK to do a victory dance when your motivational words clearly had no impact and their initiative bombed? JB talks about how it's a slap in the face to solicit advice and do the exact opposite.

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. (Makes sense why they're experiencing record profits, right?) Surveys show people have changed the way they spend but is it because they can't afford to buy as much or are they putting their foot down and sending a message to those greedy companies? Later, JB comments on tipping and how consumers are pressured by service workers to give lots no matter the quality of their work/efforts. Is too much emphasis put on tipping and less on providing a good customer experience? JB shares his thoughts.

Dating apps are popular these days and Jeremy Bradley, who's never been on one before, explores the concept for the first time LIVE on the show today. JB is surprised with a cellphone and a profile already set up on an app and gives his reactions and observations in real time. Unedited. LIVE! (Full disclosure: JB is happily married and this is for review purposes only, he is not catfishing.) Throughout the show, JB will be sharing his opinions about profiles and what the experience is like for a first-time user.
