The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Jeremy Bradley celebrates 15 years of his SpeakFreewithJB.com website and talks about his life as an entrepreneur. How did that one commentary website turn into syndicated radio shows, bestselling books, celebrity friends, a clothing line and two very famous dogs? JB explains at the beginning of the show. Later, Jocko Sims from NBC's New Amsterdam talks about the final episode of the season airing on Tuesday. Jocko notes how the TV hospital show helped out with coronavirus relief efforts in NYC. Plus, what is an "essential" service nowadays? Liquor stores, cannabis shops and gun stores are all open during a global health crisis. Are they really essential? JB shares his thoughts.

Woe is you. You have to spend time with your kids. You have to listen to their whining all day. You have to cook for them all the time. They just won't leave you alone. Damn, that coronavirus thing is a bitch, hey? Jeremy Bradley has a laugh at parents who are already annoyed of their precious offspring a few weeks into the COVID-19 lockdown. Plus, are you complaining about being bored... while you listen to a podcast... on your fancy electronic equipment? Think about the people who have much less than you and how painful their life might be every day. (So, suck it up, buttercup!) Later, office romances can be tricky but what happens if you match with a co-worker but neither of you has the nerve to talk in person? Is that the start of a true romance? JB has a story about his friend.

Does "social distancing" come into play at a family funeral? Is an elbow bump too impersonal when a relative needs a hug? Jeremy Bradley talks about a recent experience during the coronavirus outbreak. Later, online marketing has become incredibly deceptive. Have you been duped by slimy tactics? JB has some examples of what you might want to look for when completing transactions online. Plus, JB talks about researching his family history with help from Ancestry. Was it a fun experiment or did family members turn it into a nightmare? (You probably already know just from that question!) 

As coronavirus fears ramp up, Jeremy Bradley has 30 minutes of conversation to keep you entertained while in lockdown.
When it comes to drinking, are you experimental when it comes to boozy concoctions or do you like things basic? Do you prefer to just open the can/bottle and drink or get creative and mix up something new? JB shares his thoughts on alcohol. 
Plus, JB doesn't know if he's getting old or just absent minded after a weird occurrence one day. See if you can relate to the experience. 
Later, JB randomly calls a radio staffer and puts her on the spot to create some deliciously on-air awkwardness. It's anybody's guess what'll play out in that 10 minutes.

Well, that was an interesting week! From The Bachelor finale to Harvey Weinstein's sentencing to the world practically shutting down because of coronavirus, Jeremy Bradley talks about the week that was. JB gives insight into how producing an entertainment headline show this past Wednesday was unlike anything he'd ever experienced in his 14 years on the radio. Later, Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser joins JB to talk about the show's latest season and the controversy of a contestant breaking her ankle during a competition. Finally, The Bachelor made headlines but not for the guy himself -- for his mom and her viciousness. JB shares his thoughts on the meddling mom.

It's 30 minutes of chatter this week. How close are you with your partner's personal information? Do you know their banking details and how to snoop around in their accounts? Is it a matter of trust or distrust when it comes to sharing that info? Jeremy Bradley has some thoughts on that. Plus, what happened when JB had a night at the casino? Was he a big winner or did our notorious cheapskate cheap out on the slots? As the money talk continues, what would you do if you had an extra $1,000 kicking around? Join in the cash chatter this week.

What a week! Jeremy Bradley comments on the events happening in the entertainment world and the political world (though there seems to be some overlap nowadays). The Kobe Bryant memorial was on Monday and soon after items were available for auction and garnered thousands of dollars before eBay put a stop to it. Plus, Harvey Weinstein had his day in court and was convicted of sex crimes. Later, the Democratic Debate had discourse and shouting matches that didn't help anybody. After that, Donald Trump put nobody at ease with his coronavirus press conference. JB is covering it all this week! 

Air travel can be maddening! Jeremy Bradley comments on the reclining seat debate after a woman posted a video that went viral of a guy continuously hitting the back of her seat. Was she in the wrong? JB has some thoughts about how things played out. Plus, JB shares his own nightmare travel experience from earlier this month. He was forced to sit in someone's vomit for 15 minutes. How the airline responded will shock you... or will it?

It's 30 minutes of animal chatter this week. Jeremy Bradley talks about needing to find a new dogsitter after his previous help went a little bit crazy and can no longer care for the pooches. Like an overprotective parent, JB recounts how stressful it was to find someone to take handle the duties while he's out of town. He compares it to using a dating up and meeting people for the first time. Later, an update about the mice in JB's house. He brought in an "expert" but are homeowners better off taking care of the pests themselves? JB updates his rodent story.

TV and movie chatter on the show this week. Jeremy Bradley talks about the Oscars and why people "like" movies nowadays but don't hold them near and dear to their hearts anymore. Plus, there's lots of drama on The Bachelor. JB chimes in on one of the gals at the centre of the controversy. Plus, a new Lego show premiered this week. JB has a confession about his playing with Lego as a teen but his thoughts on adults doing it later in life. Also, are you easily distracted when watching YouTube videos? Is the site correctly choosing videos that you would like to watch?
