The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

Are viewers getting sick of mainstream TV and music these days? Jeremy Bradley thinks so, and he takes it one step further saying that's why there's a retro revival with people streaming full seasons of their past favorite shows and listening to full albums from a decade or two ago. "These days (music and TV) content is just pushed out for the sake of pushing it out," JB said. "Since we're constantly blasted with new content from s...

Parenting ain't what it used to be. And onlookers notice. Non-parents notice. Big time. Non-parent, Jeremy Bradley, shares his observations about how today's parents compare to when he was growing up in the '80s and '90s. "We weren't friends with our parents," JB said. "You were afraid of your parents back then. And that's not a bad thing." JB talks about how parents aren't raising their kids how they were raised. Meaning, many hou...

A child being applauded for finishing his ice cream at Dairy Queen. A child being congratulated for eating all of his fries at McD's. Jeremy Bradley is confused about why kids require such positive reinforcement for eating... junk food. "Way to go, buddy! Good job!" JB doesn't understand why parents make a big deal about kids eating food. From there, JB continues on about food and why taxpayers are expected to help feed schoolchild...

As people get older, they either embrace their age... or try to hide from it. As Jeremy Bradley turns 44, he talks about aging and wonders why people lie to themselves about how many years they've been alive. "You can change your face, you can change other body parts, but your age is still your age," JB says. He talks about the pivot when young people brag about how old they are ("I'm an adult now!") to playing coy as they age ("Ho...

Is he becoming a grumpy old man? Jeremy Bradley is days away from turning 44 and admits that he's fed up with dealing with people in public. "I"m going to end up on one of those A&E shows at some point," JB says. From loud talkers to obnoxious kids to the genuinely inconsiderate, JB talks about how he prefers being out in public in the daytime when everyone else is at work or school. "I don't have people crashing into me becaus...

It's a walk-back this week, says Jeremy Bradley. He recently went on a rant about how news broadcasting has become all-about-me TV with reporters and anchors performing on social media in content totally unrelated to their job. Listeners reached out and said there are plenty of professions where people post and stream live from their job. The problem: they're getting fired because of it. JB talks about watching videos of people imm...

You're workplace besties. One of you leaves the job and goes elsewhere. What happens to that friendship? Jeremy Bradley talks about the fizzling out of friendships after you no longer see each other every day. The big question: were you really friends or was it a workplace convenience? He talks about a listener who wonders why she was all but ghosted weeks after saying goodbye to her in-office BFF. Later, JB talks about his obsessi...

Do you really care what shoes the anchor is wearing? Does a dancing weatherman help you prepare for a storm? Is reporting from a tragedy really the best time for a selfie? Jeremy Bradley, who's been in the news business for over 20 years, chimes on why people don't take seriously trained "professional" journalists anymore. It's not about factual reporting, it's the look-at-me-I'm-on-TV mindset employees have at their respective new...

Don't throw your junk in my backyard, my backyard, my backyard. (If you get it, you get it.) Jeremy Bradley talks about run-ins with his neighbors that have him saying anything but "love thy neighbor." For 19 years, he's asked himself, "Why do they always think my property is theirs to use?" It's been multiple neighbors throughout the years not respecting property lines. But, why were the cops called? Whose car had the sticker, "I ...

"Once a cheater, always a cheater," is the old saying about relationships. Generally, it's said to people who've been cheated on in the hopes they'll leave their partner who wronged them. Jeremy Bradley talks about a colleague who is in an awkward situation after finding out about a friend cheating... and scrolling through DMs to show the flirty conversations. How would you react if your BFF came clean to reveal a secret relationsh...

With many people feeling the financial pinch nowadays, there are plenty of ways to creatively save money. Bestselling "cheapskate" Jeremy Bradley confesses how, even before becoming a successful businessperson, he's always looked at $50 as a lot of money. JB talks about getting older and how he pays attention to "wants" and "needs" while shopping. It's not about money, it's about waste. Ultimately, those choices save money, so it's...

Buying your first home is an exciting time but is recording a walking tour for social media a little, well, classless? Jeremy Bradley talks about the trend of people posting photos of themselves holding a giant key and the declaration they're a new homeowner, in hopes of getting applause from the audience. People take it one step further, he says, when they stage videos and welcome people in as though they're appearing on MTV Cribs...
