The world is still reacting to the Donald Trump hush-money verdict. Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts as an "outsider" (Canadian) while the world watched on. JB talks about how everything related to American politics is a spectacle and why he thought there would be riots and burning buildings across the U.S. on Thursday night. Later, Pride month is about to kick off and JB shares his opinion about big corporations profiting off the LGBTQ community. He also talks about how it used to be the GLB community, then LGB community, then LGBT community, then LGBTQ community -- and now several other variations to include numbers and characters. Is the changing meaning of "Pride" a good thing or has its original message been lost? (Remember a few years ago when New York City's Pride parade didn't even have a gay man as a marshal but every other diversity box was checked?)

Ain't got time for that. Most people are glued to a communication device for much of their waking hours yet how are they so terrible at, well, communicating? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he only gives people a few chances to get back to him before cutting them off entirely. If they can't even acknowledge his correspondence then he cuts them loose from his contact list. Plus, JB questions why everybody feels the need to be a content creator nowadays. Why is there such a focus on entertaining people and not simply living for yourself? He discusses what it was like when he got into broadcasting and publishing 20 years ago where not everybody had a platform and you needed to have something to say -- and prove your worth -- to get the airtime or page space.

Saying goodbye is never easy but it must be done. And before you think this is about death, it's not! Jeremy Bradley talks about the tough decisions he made when walking away from a lucrative job hosting a syndicated radio show after 15 years. It's one thing to be cancelled and not have an opportunity to say goodbye, but what about when you know the end is near? JB talks about what went into planning his farewell broadcast and how it was nothing like the initial plan. Plus, what's "the KFC story" from the radio show? He explains later in the podcast.

The workplace ain't what it used to be. In recent years, there's been a drastic shift in the focus of how companies operate. Less and less is it about employees conforming to the needs of the business, instead companies have to bend to what its workforce demands. Jeremy Bradley talks about his time working as a teenager and in his 20s where he bowed down to employers because he needed the job. Now, as an employer, he feels workers should still be grateful to have the work. That's not to say employees should be treated like slaves but the business should come first -- because at the end of the day, that's the point of the job: getting money in exchange for doing the work. JB talks about why he would never hire a millennial to work on his broadcast or publishing team -- a team that's been together for nearly 20 years... with no staff turnover.

Kathy Griffin returns to the comedy stage... and to Canada! This week, Kathy chats with Jeremy Bradley about her love for the Great White North. Plus, KG revisits that infamous "Trump head" photo that got her life turned upside down. KG recalls the Secret Service interrogations, but were they really that serious or did they cut her some slack because she's a comedian? Plus, after the hubbub, KG's relationships with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen hit a rough patch -- or did they end entirely? JB asks to find out their relationship status.

This week would've marked Jeremy Bradley's grandma's 95th birthday. He takes a walk down memory lane reliving memories of his childhood and the final years of his baba's life. He talks about how relationships with grandparents change as you get older and how you have a new appreciation for your bond. Plus, once they pass, it can make us wonder what of our personality traits we got from them. Commonly used as an insult, "You're just like your mother" can be a slap in the face, but when someone tells you you're like your grandma, is that a good thing? JB thinks so. He explains why.

We hear they're merely a suggestion of when your food is "best before" but do you pay attention to the dates on the packaging? Jeremy Bradley talks about how he does visual and sniff tests while ignoring whatever dates are marked on the food products. In fact, you won't believe how "expired" the salad dressing was he once had that, as he says, made the best salad ever. Later, people are expected to have "hometown pride" and brag about where they grew up and represent it when travelling. JB talks about how Winnipeg has become such a shameful city that he doesn't even pretend it's a decent place to live or visit. (This is why he and his husband spend more time in their West Hollywood house than in Winnipeg.) If residents don't have confidence in their own communities, are they doomed to fail?

Fake news, fake news, fake news! In recent years, there's been a shift in how the public views the news media. Its credibility and accuracy have been tested, leading many to mistrust journalists. Though, what constitutes a "journalist" nowadays is maybe part of the problem. Jeremy Bradley, a 20-year newspaper columnist and 18-year radio host, shares his thoughts about the changing media landscape and why people don't respect the craft -- and also how the craft has changed to the point where journalists now view covering the story as their own moment. JB talks about the solar eclipse coverage that had journalists not just telling a story but making the moment about them.

Jeremy Bradley is back with more customer service nightmare experiences. JB talks about the frustrations of stores making customers become employees by ringing up and bagging their own purchases. He talks about how he takes matters into his own hands when there's a lineup at self-checkout and pressures staff from around the store to assist at the registers. He's even set off a store alarm. Plus, phoning in for customer support is taking longer than ever. But, why is that? Is it because staff aren't trained properly? Or is it the way that companies structure those customer service departments? Is remote work problematic for efficiency with call center and chat support teams? JB shares his thoughts.

Spring cleaning is usually seen as a chore, if not a punishment, for homeowners. It's something people tell themselves they need to do -- either on a weekend or rainy day -- to free up space and de-clutter. Jeremy Bradley talks about the randomness of his closets, cupboards and even fridge. It's not until he noticed an accumulation of undated sauces and dressings in his fridge that he wondered how long some items have been chilling (literally) amongst the other groceries. Then, there's the "junk drawer" everyone's kitchen has. You know it's got a little bit of everything but how much of it is actually needed? JB talks about a hallway closet that's used as a default storage area that has amassed the most random of random things in the 16 years he's lived in his house.

Don Lemon's new podcast/talk show launched this week with the scandalous Elon Musk interview that got him fired -- er, non-fired fired. Jeremy Bradley, a trained journalist of 20 years, chimes in on his thoughts from a journalistic perspective and as a regular listener. JB comments on Lemon's approach and tone that was awkward from the first few minutes. Lemon's former job as a cable news host transferred over to The Don Lemon Show and it worked against him while challenging an uninterested challenger like Musk. That appeared to throw off Lemon who couldn't accept Musk's unwillingness to answer questions. Also, why did Lemon have to throw shade when asking questions -- such as referencing Musk's many lawsuits and how he misspelled something in an online post? Plus, Lemon is now playing the race and gay cards in his followup rants. JB breaks it down on the show this week.

When Sunday has the Oscars and a royal scandal, you know it's going to be a delicious week for celebrity news. Jeremy Bradley recaps his thoughts on the Oscars and why people don't seem to care about awards shows anymore. Plus, he gives insight into what covering red carpets was like when he first got into broadcasting compared to what it's like today: professionally trained reporters versus selfie-taking TikTok'ers. Then, the Kate Middleton photo flop has people around the world wondering what's happening with the princess as she remains in hiding after allegedly having a mysterious surgery earlier this year. JB explains why the edited photo is such a big deal for news outlets. Later, Don Lemon was set for his big return to broadcasting only to have another womp-womp moment for his faltering career. JB chimes in on the latest downfall for the disgraced former news anchor.

Super Tuesday, State of the Union -- it's all politics all the time, it seems for Americans. Canadian Jeremy Bradley has some thoughts about the week full of U.S. politics. As a Canuck, JB talks about how Canadian elections are much simpler -- and shorter -- than those to the south. Mostly, Canadians don't even know the date of the next election, let alone have an emotional investment in the campaign. JB talks about how in his 41 years of going to family gatherings he's never heard an intense political discussion amongst his relatives. Why? Because Canadians just aren't into it as much as Americans.

Do people really need love to feel complete? Jeremy Bradley says no. Last week on the show, JB talked about how society has become too needy and caught up on feedback and "likes" because of social media. This week, he reflects on his childhood and how he didn't have anyone patting him on the head and telling him how smart he was or that he was loved. Instead, he found love within himself after he realized he would be the only one always looking out for him. Because of that, JB developed a thick skin where he doesn't require compliments or positive reinforcement to feel good about his accomplishments in life. Now, happily married, JB says he understands how love can make you feel complete if you want it to make you feel complete. In the end, he says, some people don't want love in their life -- at least not from other people, anyway.

Society has become needy, if not obsessed, with getting feedback and attention. It's largely thanks to everyone having a platform with social media. Jeremy Bradley talks about how living in the moment has created a happy life for him. JB shares his thoughts about seeing vacation photos of people who are clutching their phones on the beach as someone takes a picture of them. Are they focused on what's around them or entertaining an audience on their own devices? JB reveals his super-secret wedding years ago that he considers to be more special than having hundreds of guests and thousands of photos snapped from everyone's phones.

What a wild news week. Super Bowl kicked off the major news stories and it, well, kinda dominated again midweek thanks to (another) mass shooting in the U.S. Jeremy Bradley recaps the news from Las Vegas to Kansas City as the Chiefs win went from celebratory to tragic. As for the game: Is there too much fascination with Taylor Swift? Are "Swifties" too obsessive? JB has some thoughts on idolizing millionaires and billionaires, and the problem with people thinking they have a connection to them. Plus, it was Valentine's Day and that has couples posting ooey-gooey tributes and photos of the obligatory flowers and goodies they exchanged. Is it romantic or tacky to have relationships play out so publicly? JB has some thoughts.

Valentine's Day is here and it's time for couples to gush about their love for one another while posting photos of their romance. It makes Jeremy Bradley want to puke. JB talks about how relationships play out too much on social media and people are seemingly living their lives for the entertainment of others. JB mentions how he and his husband have never done lovey-dovey public posts because, well, they talk to each other and express themselves face to face. Nothing about their relationship is for show. JB discusses how it's not special to post the pics of flowers and gifts that your partner felt obligated to give you on Feb. 14. Show the stuff they surprised you with on a random Wednesday morning!

As we age, our viewing habits change -- or do they? That's what Jeremy Bradley discusses on the show this week. He talks about getting older and how the trashy TV he used to find entertaining doesn't hit the spot anymore. While he jumped on the reality TV bandwagon in his 20s and 30s, JB is leaning to documentaries and serious programming now. As you mature, do your TV and movie interests change? JB has some thoughts. Plus, as someone who doesn't watch porn -- because he's married and gets fulfillment other ways -- JB discusses how people watch adult content in today's short-attention-span culture. He wonders how specific people get when they're searching for their XXX entertainment. JB continues, wondering what constitutes the classification of "porn" nowadays with TV and movies showing actual, graphic sex scenes.

It's a weird question to start off the show, but Jeremy Bradley asks if you've ever been happy that somebody died. After getting in touch with a friend from his past, JB took a walk down memory lane to remember other people from that time in his life. He took time to Google those people and look up their social media pages, only to discover that one of them had died a few years earlier. When he reunited with the former friend, they discussed that person with whom they'd had a mutual connection. And the story of the death wasn't as sad as you might think. JB explains how he was taken aback by how casual the details were shared and how it didn't seem to be a sad moment in time.

Awards show season is in full swing and Jeremy Bradley -- an entertainment reporter for nearly 20 years -- has some thoughts about the continual decline of viewer interest. JB talks about his early days covering the shows and their red carpets. He talks about how the reporting of them has changed and how the focus has gradually shifted thanks to social media and everybody making the moment about themselves. JB recalls a recent conversation with Melissa Rivers, who reflected on the iconic moments co-hosting red carpets with her mom, Joan, and how broadcasters would never have thought to ask for a selfie at an event. Are people tuning out because they're sick of seeing the rich and famous patting themselves on the back?
