The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

If there's one thing Jeremy Bradley loves, it's putting staffers on the spot. This time, JB calls radio producer, Suzanne Howler, and randomly poses a variety of discussion topics. For instance, Do you clean up after yourself in a food court? Do you return carts at the grocery store? If you won $100 in the lottery, what would you spend it on? Plus, the two reminisce about a travel broadcast that was taped on location in Fort Lauderdale. The content was later cut when the pandemic shutdown the travel industry, but there are some memorable stories from the adventure: Getting lost trying to find the car rental place, Suzanne staying in a grimy hotel, and JB getting thrown up on during the flight home. Laughs are guaranteed this week.

Companies are getting creative with their advertising but is it also getting intrusive? Years ago it was telemarketing phone calls, then spam email and now it's obnoxious text messages from a company. Jeremy Bradley shares a story about a realty company that gets a little too close for comfort in his community. He talks about a personalized gift they gave people in the neighborhood. Check out the segment and see if you'd be creeped out. Later, is there a scent that you love that others find repulsive? Or, is there a food you like to eat but can't stand the smell of? JB has a fishy story about a recent trip to the grocery store.

Filled with controversy, the latest Olympic Games are in the homestretch. TV critics have taken note that ratings are down and viewers just aren't interested in watching the competition. But why is that? Jeremy Bradley has theories as to why people don't care to watch the athletes -- and it's not just because of China or time zones or any other excuse the TV networks present. Plus, JB takes issue with the claim that a gold medalist is "the best in the world." They're the best amongst those who competed, sure, but there's no indication they are better than every other person. Later, Next Level Chef is heating up on Fox. Richard Blais chats with JB about the reality cooking show. Has he learned anything from the amateur chefs competing for the top prize?

It's all about Joes today. Joe Rogan is once again in the tabloids, this time because of his repeated use of the N-word on his podcast. Jeremy Bradley chimes in on Spotify's broadcasting darling to offer an opinion on if Rogan is worth the hassle... and the huge paycheck. Plus, Joe Millionaire is back on Fox. JB chats with the two "Joe"s from the show. Did they find love with the gold-digging women... or did they find love with each other? JB has his suspicions. It plays out on the show this week.

Jeremy Bradley is LIVE reacting to the busy news week that is about to come to an end -- finally. The trucker convoy that took over Ottawa has Canadians talking and divided on the issue of vaccine mandates. JB shares his thoughts about the so-called "freedom" protest... that is taking away the freedoms of Canadians as streets are blocked and businesses shutdown. Ironic, eh? Plus, Whoopi Goldberg has been trending all week thanks to her comments about the Nazis and Jews. JB talks about her suspension from The View. Later, CNN has another scandal on its hands after Jeff Zucker is caught in a romance with a staffer. But the secret relationship wasn't that much of a secret to insiders at the troubled cable network. Finally, CBC's Scott Russell (in a pre-taped interview) chats with JB about the Olympics in China and the challenges their team has reporting and broadcasting from the Games.

Jeremy Bradley took a road trip and randomly showed up at a family's home. It could've gone either way when he arrived with our executive producer, Suzanne. How does a rural family react to city slickers appearing in their driveway? You better listen to find out! Plus, do you have friendships where you go days or even weeks without talking and suddenly reconnect and it's like no time has passed? JB talks about reuniting with childhood friends. Later, what's up with people having stupid spellings of their name? Was it the parents who chose the spelling or is the person just trying to be unique? 

Awards show season is here but if nobody watched, did it really happen? That's how Jeremy Bradley sums up this time of year which, at one time, was the biggest thing in the entertainment biz. JB reflects on how red carpets have become less and less interesting since he first started covering them in 2010. But why are the ratings for awards shows going down? JB has several theories and shares them -- as he always does this time of you. Plus, JB has discovered "groups" on Facebook and he's learned some interesting tidbits about his community. It's made him wonder if it's best to live in his own little bubble or get involved in the neighborhood.

Catfish is back on MTV and Nev Schulman chats with Jeremy Bradley about investigating online liars. After all this time, are people still getting duped by scam artists or have love seekers smartened up? Apparently there's no shortage of relationship drama as Nev continues to track catfish. Plus, is Nev's former sidekick, Max, coming back to the reality show? A recent social media post had fans wondering. Also, JB talks about interviewing Bob Saget and the impression the comedian left on the radio host.

Everybody had the dream of working from home before the pandemic forced employees to stay away from the office. And as we saw, the novelty quickly wore off. Jeremy Bradley talks about how many workers needed special motivation to get focused to work from home. Was an office-type setup helpful or did you get more work done with your laptop on the couch? Plus, is computer usage outside of work on the decline? Do you use a computer if it's not for work or school? JB talks about how everything is largely now done on a phone or tablet and questions the need for replacing an aging computer. Later, JB shares a story about a guy who really overshared a personal story and essentially gave the play by play as his life was (allegedly) in danger. Is it TMI with those types of posts?
