The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Pres. Biden is about to be sworn in as, well, president. Inauguration Day has all eyes on the U.S. as Pres. Trump is (potentially) dragged from the White House. Jeremy Bradley shares his views about the world looking on and commenting about the strife in the U.S. Plus, is constantly calling out diversity just furthering the divide between different groups? Do the victory laps come as a slap in the face to outsiders? JB shares a point of view that many people might agree with. Later, music legend Lee Greenwood chats about 40 years in the music business and his now-iconic song God Bless the USA. What's it like having a well-known song that has morphed into a political anthem? Lee talks about that and his upcoming all-star tribute concert this fall.

The riots return to the United States. Americans (and, really, the world) watched on Wednesday as a mob took over the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Jeremy Bradley comments with producer Bonnie Winters about the unrest across the United States. Plus, as a parent, how would Bonnie react if she saw her child violently protesting and breaking the law? Would she side with her kid or her country? Later, things get playfully superficial during a round of Who'd You Rather? as JB quizzes Bonnie about who was the hottest president of the United States. And, would he have a chance with her?

It's a new year... but is anything going to be new? As much as people said, "I can't wait for 2020 to be over" are the expectations for 2021 too high? What's the best way to look back on a year? Jeremy Bradley has tips for looking back and reflecting on the positive moments in life. (Motivational speaker much?) Finally, JB opens up like never before about his relationship. How did his dream romance become reality while hosting his syndicated radio shows? JB talks about meeting the love of his life and how it was culture shock for both of them when they celebrated Christmas together in Canada for the first time.

It's a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year message all in one show this year, thanks to holidays falling on a Friday. But are they really holidays? In the year of corona, was the holiday season a write-off before December even rolled around? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he reflects on the year that was. Later, JB takes a walk down memory lane and shares stories about a friend who means a lot to him. The two met at a job 15 years ago and after she recently died of cancer, JB had a new appreciation for their friendship. He has some laughs about the mischief the two got up to at work and at her family's Christmas celebration. Happy Holidays!

The countdown to Christmas is on but for many people it's gloom and doom because of coronavirus shutdowns. Jeremy Bradley decides to stay positive and focus on good times this week. He's joined by Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter who take a walk down memory lane and share stories about their time starring on TV's Family Ties. What Christmas gifts were they giving each other back then? Plus, how would their TV family react to today's political environment? Later, JB talks about the time he first met Michael and Meredith in New York City nearly 10 years ago.

The Christmas staff party: cancelled. The Christmas vacation: cancelled. It's a different kind of Christmas this year and that has Jeremy Bradley talking about the fun -- or is it "fun"? -- of a work holiday party. Back in the day, the work shindig was a major event that saw guests dressed up for a classy affair. Now, with people working in hostile workplaces and constantly bitching about colleagues, is the Christmas party even enjoyable? Well, the good thing is it's likely not happening this year! JB has some stories about past parties and what makes the staff get-together so dreadful. Later, Candace Cameron Bure talks about her latest Hallmark movie and how you can donate to charity to make a difference in your community this holiday season. 

Lots of business chatter on the show this week. Dragons' Den star and Boston Pizza honcho Jim Treliving talks with Jeremy Bradley about the hit CBC show. Jim shares his feelings about how Canadian businesses have stepped up during the year of a pandemic. Plus, when you leave a job, how often do you stay in touch with former co-workers? Do you gradually lose contact over time? Later, JB shares a bizarre contradiction in Manitoba thanks to a retail shutdown all over the province. See if you can figure out how it's supposed to make sense.

A socially distanced Thanksgiving has come and gone and now a rowdy Black (and Blue) Friday is upon us. Jeremy Bradley recaps his turkey holiday and how he cooked a bird for the first time. How did it go? And how did his parents react when he brought leftovers for them to try? Plus, Black Friday is here and it usually leads to bloodshed for all those door-crashing and face-punching deals. But, why not just shop online? JB shares his thoughts about the craziness. Plus, JB talks about his pick for the perfect holiday gift: Navage Nasal Care. The nasal irrigation system has taken breathing to a new level.

In this emotional episode of the show, Jeremy Bradley shares the news that his dog died. Basil had long become a character on Jeremy's syndicated radio shows, alongside his best bud, Ernie the golden retriever. Basil was diagnosed with a blood disease and died nine days later. The 9-year-old dog lived a happy live and JB relives the day Basil was adopted and sadly recounts the last moments of Basil's life. Later, Dr. Phil McGraw talks about how families mourn the loss of a pet. Dr. Phil shares how he mourned the death of his dog. Plus, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan chimes in with insight about how Ernie is feeling and reacting to Basil's death. Cesar comments that dogs understand death and outlines how they deal with a loss. Finally, Winnipeg's mayor, Brian Bowman, discusses animal adoption. Basil came from the City of Winnipeg's animal shelter. Mayor Bowman talks about the fun moments he has with his dog. It's two hours of dog love on The Scribble. 

It's 300 already! Jeremy Bradley celebrates the 300th weekly episode of The Scribble podcast. JB looks back at the fun from the past few hundred weeks of podcasting. Can he name all the celebrities who have been on the show? Later, JB welcomes (fellow Canadian) rockers Wide Mouth Mason for the band's 20th anniversary re-release of the album, Stew. It's also 25 years that the band has been making music -- and history. Shaun Verreault reflects on the band's beginnings and famous tours with legends in the music world.
