The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Mother's Day just passed and arguably the woman with the most-famous mom EVER is Melissa Rivers. Melissa joins Jeremy Bradley to talk about the life of Joan Rivers and the new book celebrating Joan's sense of humor and storytelling. What was it like channeling Joan to write about the tall tales she told? Plus, JB and Melissa talk about their dislike of today's Hollywood red carpets because of how serious and uptight they've become. Later, how would Joan have handled an on-stage attack like that of Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle? Finally, JB shares a hilarious memory of how he surprised his mom for Mother's Day a few years ago. 

The seasons are changing and while summer isn't officially here, the days seem longer and the weather is getting hotter. But do those rainy gloomy days depress you or motivate you? On the flip side, do you like to jumpstart your day with the birds chirping and sun shining or do you prefer easing into your routine? Jeremy Bradley shares his seasonal moods and what gets him through the day when the weather changes. Plus, JB shares his thoughts about sleeping in. As a kid, he was always the first one awake on Saturday mornings so he could have the house to himself. Once he got older, he appreciated sleeping in a lot more. Is it an age thing or just an exhaustion thing -- or a little of both?

Jeremy Bradley is hot this week! It's another rant about social media complainers. This time, JB takes issue with a family member who constantly posts woe-is-me pity parties on Facebook. The back-and-forth battle in the comments section was on when JB questioned the relative's antics. It was likely the first time that person didn't get unwavering support when posting the tragic revelation that his heating bill was going up. Really. JB doesn't hold back when bringing up the family member's history and unhealthy lifestyle that has put him in his current situation. You won't believe how JB unloads. This - is - a -first!

It was 16 years ago that Jeremy Bradley launched his internationally syndicated radio show, Top of The Charts. JB recaps how he got started in broadcasting and where it took his career. He shares memories of covering red carpets and hosting travel programming from destinations around the world. Plus, there's a recap of some of the more entertaining clips from live broadcasts -- including one that was never supposed to be aired ever again. (Is this an exclusive?!) Later, JB gives some inspirational advice to entrepreneurs (or aspiring entrepreneurs) for staying motivated when it feels like failure is only the ever outcome.

When the Canadian weather forecast called for a deadly blizzard, Jeremy Bradley decided to skip the country and head to Florida. That's where he's hosting the show this week. JB talks about how overly hyped the spring storm was because, well, for most areas it was practically nothing. Plus, JB remembers the whole "don't say gay" scandal playing out in the state and has opinions on people simply saying the word. His question: "If any of those homophobic politicians were randomly talking with my husband and me, they'd have no idea we're gay because we don't have the stereotypical traits you can see or hear. So, would they like me until there's that record-scratch moment that the G-word is said?"

Bestselling cheapskate, Jeremy Bradley, is serving up 30 minutes of saving this week. Everyone is talking about the price of, well, everything going up and JB, the author of a book that outlines how to creatively save and spend, offers his advice for cutting costs throughout the week. As convenient as delivery apps are, is the added cost worth it? That's the big question: What is the cost of convenience? Plus, what's the best way to score discounts on your grocery items? Lots of great info is packed into this episode. Also, JB takes issue with paying fees to be a customer. It's not enough to give a business your money as a patron, they want you to pay for the benefit of being their customer. When is it worth it and when is it not? Make some notes because this is JB's specialty. 

Everybody is STILL talking about Will Smith attacking Chris Rock at the Oscars last weekend. Jeremy Bradley is a little delayed because this show runs on a Friday. Nevertheless, JB gives his take on what happened and how things have played out all week. Should Smith face disciplinary action after his outrageous behavior? Later, 25 Words or Less host Meredith Vieira chats with JB about the game show's latest season. What's it like hosting a game show out of your basement? Plus, what is it about game shows that has had generations of TV fans obsessed? 

With the cost of everything going up, it's ridiculous that some companies still charge you a fee for the privilege being a customer. Jeremy Bradley takes issue with this and comments on how it's not good enough to be a consumer as some services seemingly double-dip on getting money out of you two ways for one transaction. Later, another Ask JB segment where a listener hits a relationship roadblock. When the partner goes out of town and makes Instagram a priority over saying hi to their lover -- is that a problem? JB has some thoughts about social media being involved in a person's relationship and interfering with people's lives. Would you be offended if your partner claimed they didn't have time to say hi to you but made time for social media posts?

The Bachelor wrapped up with a controversial season finale. Jeremy Bradley talked with Clayton and his on-again-off-again-on-again girlfriend, Susie, on the radio earlier this week. JB has the segment in its entirety on the podcast. Clayton and Susie faced some tough questions -- and their answers might surprise you. Later, Canada's Got Talent is back... after about 10 years! JB chats with Howie Mandel about judging contestants from his homeland. Coincidentally, Howie calls in from Los Angeles while JB is in West Hollywood and they talk all about the Canadian show. Does Howie put more pressure on comedians since that's his craft or does he take it easy on them? 

Oversharing on social media -- you know someone who does it. Every inconvenience, every opinion, every rant goes from their brain to their Facebook wall. Jeremy Bradley talks about people who post cryptically to the world while intending to have the real target of their rage see the message... in a passive aggressive way. But how does it actually make the ranter (who views themself as a victim already) look? Is it petty? Does it do their argument any favors? Later, JB shares details about an injury that he jokingly blew out of proportion to friends and family. It was so overly dramatic it would've made a great Facebook post! Plus, JB shares observations about how different generations utilize dating apps... or are they hookup apps?
