The CJ & Ted Show

What are the rules of good manners — and who gets to decide them?This week on The CJ & Ted Show, CJ and Ted react to a video from William Hanson exploring questions of etiquette, social behaviour and the unwritten rules we all seem to be expected to understand.From everyday manners to the awkward situations nobody really teaches you how to handle, the conversation becomes a lively discussion about the rules of social interaction — which ones make perfect sense, which ones are hopelessly outdated, and which ones CJ and Ted think should exist.As they work through the questions, Ted and CJ add their own experiences, opinions and, naturally, a few disagreements along the way.There's also:- The surprising rules and expectations surrounding everyday social situations- Which etiquette rules still matter — and which ones might be past their sell-by date- House hunting, property viewings and the excitement of finding somewhere with a driveway- Cobwebs, peeling wallpaper and the realities of looking for a new home- The quirks of estate agents and the housing market- An unexpected celebrity encounter involving Patrick Stewart and a petrol station- Plenty of tangents, stories and friendly debateThe conversation moves from the formal rules of etiquette to the much messier reality of everyday life, where knowing what you're supposed to do and knowing what actually works can be two very different things.Whether you're someone who always knows the correct thing to say, or regularly finds yourself wondering what the social rules actually are, join CJ and Ted as they put etiquette under the microscope and come up with a few rules of their own.The CJ & Ted Show — good manners, questionable opinions and plenty of chat.#CJTedShow #FridayNightLive #Podcast #UKPodcast #BritishHumour #Etiquette #WilliamHanson #SocialEtiquette #GoodManners #SocialRules #BritishPodcast #PodcastChat #HouseHunting #PatrickStewart #Stream65 #CJandTed

No James Bond film makes the masterpiece tier. Yes, really.This week on The CJ & Ted Show, Ted James and CJ put the legendary world of 007 to the test in a trailer-fuelled James Bond tier list. From classic spy adventures to outrageous gadgets, questionable plots and spectacular action sequences, they're revisiting the franchise to decide which films deserve their place in Bond history.Ted brings childhood memories and screen-side commentary, while CJ brings quick-fire research, poster detective work and a completionist's determination to work through the films. But how much of their judgement is based on the films themselves, and how much comes down to nostalgia?Their Bond marathon spans the eras, from Sean Connery's classic swagger and Roger Moore's outrageous set pieces to Pierce Brosnan's gadgets and Daniel Craig's grittier adventures.There's plenty to debate:- Why no Bond film quite makes the masterpiece tier- Whether Timothy Dalton ever really feels like James Bond- Why GoldenEye and The Spy Who Loved Me stand out- The films they'd happily watch again — and those they'd rather skip- Favourite Bond cars, theme songs and performances- Forgotten plots and trailers that bring back unexpected memories- The great Moonraker mystery: did Jaws's love interest really have braces, or is this one giant Bond-sized Mandela effect?From Dr. No and Goldfinger through to Casino Royale, Skyfall and Spectre, Ted and CJ revisit the highs, lows and downright bizarre moments of the franchise.Naturally, the conversation doesn't stay entirely on 007. Trailer reactions lead to familiar faces, old television favourites and the sort of random side quests that make a simple ranking exercise considerably more complicated than it needs to be.Ultimately, this tier list is shaped as much by the Bonds they grew up with as by the films themselves.Do you agree with their rankings? Which Bond film deserves the top spot, and which one should have stayed in the gadget cupboard?Join the debate and decide where you'd rank them.#CJTedShow #JamesBond #007 #BondFilms #JamesBondTierList #MovieTierList #FilmDiscussion #MoviePodcast #FilmFans #SeanConnery #RogerMoore #PierceBrosnan #DanielCraig #GoldenEye #Moonraker #Skyfall #FridayNightLive #BritishPodcast #Stream64

One bored scroll through Auto Trader later, CJ has a Ford Ranger, a £122 fuel bill and a fresh lesson in pickup-truck economics.Welcome back to The CJ & Ted Show, where spontaneous purchases lead to expensive consequences and a simple conversation can turn into a debate about family boundaries, roommate revenge and the art of a perfectly timed practical joke.CJ explains why he bought a Ford Ranger despite its thirst for diesel, higher insurance costs and the various quirks of owning a commercial vehicle. Ted gets the full story, and the numbers make for some interesting listening.Then it's time for two “Am I the Arsehole?” dilemmas.First, is a young woman wrong to refuse round-the-clock care for her sister? Then, what happens when your roommates lock you out of the TV but still owe you money for the bills? Ted and CJ weigh up the arguments, discuss where boundaries should be drawn and consider when getting even might actually be justified.There's also:- The real-world costs of buying and running a Ford Ranger- A £122 fuel bill that puts pickup-truck economics into perspective- Family responsibilities and knowing when to say no- Roommate disputes, unpaid bills and the satisfying business of reclaiming an air fryer- Favourite practical jokes, from mysteriously wandering computer mice to a car that plays Who Let the Dogs Out? every time it brakes- Larry the Cat- Plenty of tangents, strong opinions and friendly bickeringFrom the surprisingly complicated economics of a spontaneous vehicle purchase to the question of whether a prank is still funny when someone takes it too far, CJ and Ted tackle everyday dilemmas with their usual mix of honesty, humour and questionable ideas.The CJ & Ted Show: cars, cash, cats and a little bit of revenge.#CJTedShow #FridayNightLive #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishHumour #FordRanger #PickupTruck #AmITheArsehole #AITA #PracticalJokes #RoommateDrama #FamilyBoundaries #LarryTheCat #CarChat #PodcastChat #FunnyStories #Stream63 #CJandTed

A technical disaster, a two-hour GeoGuessr spiral and a blue bus in the Brazilian wilderness.Ted and CJ turn an unplanned late start into one of their most chaotic shows yet.After accidentally broadcasting the wrong screen, losing the stream and discovering that neither host remembered it was Friday, the conversation takes several unexpected turns.They judge an Am I the Arsehole? relationship dilemma, debate whether working from home is genuinely exhausting, and come up with increasingly questionable strategies for getting a partner to do the housework.Then CJ nearly buys a Ford Ranger, talks himself out of transferring negative equity onto another car, and joins Ted in a lively discussion about fuel prices, electric vehicles, lithium mining, wind turbines, solar farms and whether “green” technology is really as clean as advertised.But the main event is an epic GeoGuessr investigation.It starts with cows, dirt tracks, blurry imagery and absolutely no useful landmarks. Ted and CJ spend ages crossing Brazil, misreading Portuguese signs, following road numbers, chasing military police clues, getting lost between high roads and low roads and repeatedly returning to the same impossible junction.And the reward?Finding the location within two metres.There’s also:AI cats making biscuitsThe strange history of reverse-charge callsWhy people used to answer the phone with their phone numberThe etiquette of ending a Teams callFalse memoriesHaunted animalsCar-buying dilemmasTechnology disastersAnd, most importantly… why is there a blue bus in the middle of nowhere?Ted brings the improvised tangents, questionable theories and relentless “what she said” jokes.CJ brings the increasingly determined detective work, car-buying dilemmas, technology debates and the stubborn refusal to abandon a GeoGuessr challenge until the exact spot is found.Two hosts. One Brazilian road. A blue bus. And absolutely no idea what they're doing.Just another night on The CJ & Ted Show.#CJTedShow #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishHumour #FridayNightLive #GeoGuessr #GeoGuessrChallenge #Brazil #AITA #CarChat #ElectricCars #EV #BritishPodcast #ComedyShow #RandomChat #LiveStream #CJandTed #Stream62

What happens when ADHD traits, creative ambition, van-life fantasies, a newly discovered cat, Rice Krispie treats and one dangerously overworked pair of trousers collide?The CJ & Ted Show is back with nearly three hours of chat, honest reflection, random tangents and ideas that somehow keep turning into real projects.CJ opens up about hyperfocus, procrastination, decision paralysis, relationship patterns, sensory overload and the exhausting challenge of directing your energy in a world full of notifications, deadlines, meetings and choices.He shares some of the practical systems helping him cope, from daily AI-assisted brain dumps and task categories to simplifying meals and removing unnecessary decisions.Ted brings his own perspective on distraction, structure, modern overstimulation and why some people work best when the rules, routine and priorities are clear.There's also:The newly recognised cat species that took nearly a decade to be officially classifiedWhy CJ is considering a van, pickup truck or even a stealth camper as both a lifestyle experiment and an emergency career planA security mistake you should avoid when you're tempted to use public Wi-FiCJ's growing collection of ridiculous Amazon notebooks, including Notes I Probably Shouldn't Leave on a Train and This Meeting Is BollocksThe first instalment of CJ and Ted's Drama ClubCaptain Archibald Percival Trousersworth III and the Brotherhood of Singular TrouserA possibly fictional gooseThe mystery of LuxembourgHow photography, podcasting, video editing, design, AI and learning new skills can gradually become something much biggerThe conversation also becomes more personal as CJ explains how the show helped lead him towards photography, radio, video editing, design, a creative business and a clearer mission: helping ordinary people tell incredible stories.Ted and CJ reflect on their many years of friendship, failed ideas, unexpected projects, creative hyperfocus and the simple value of making something because it's fun.If you've ever had an idea at 3 AM, abandoned a project when the novelty disappeared, lost four hours to a side quest, or wondered whether your chaotic brain might also be your greatest creative asset, there's plenty here to relate to.Expect cats, conspiracies, trousers, creative ideas, terrible food decisions, emotional revelations and a lot of chat.Sometimes the best thing you can do with an idea is write it down and see what sticks.#CJTedShow #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishHumour #FridayNightLive #CJandTed #DramaClub #CreativeLife #ADHD #Hyperfocus #PodcastChat #CreativeBusiness #AI #Cats #VanLife #RandomChat #ComedyShow #YouTubePodcast #Stream61

The CJ & Ted Show is back from its summer break… and absolutely nothing has become more organised.Technology fails, eyesight blurs, and two very underqualified detectives attempt to locate a Canadian road using nothing but hay bales, mailboxes, vague signs and questionable geography.CJ and Ted reunite for a chaotic catch-up covering broken Windows updates, blurry YouTube feeds, eye tests, industrial deafness, moving house, the decline of political statesmanship, and the eternal mystery of trying to hear someone speak in a noisy pub.Then it’s time for the return of What’s In The Box?Ten questions. Three guesses. One ornamental object hiding on Ted’s desk. And somehow, eventually, they work out what it is.There’s also:Why Microsoft may be personally conspiring against the showHow a stuffed cat called Chloe defeats CJ’s investigative techniqueThe difference between a mailbox and a female boxWhy every road in Canada appears to be approximately 400 miles longA ridiculous GeoGuessr investigation using roadside signs, power lines, the sun and sheer guessworkThe eternal question of whether Ontario is a province, a continent, or simply an endless collection of empty barnsAnd then, just when the geography lesson reaches its unlikely conclusion, the show launches a brand-new feature: CJ and Ted Drama Club.Episode One: “The Speedboat”A Welsh boat-hire operator, a customer named Captain Vladimir Borscht, several suspicious life jackets, 27 questionable horsepower and one boat-driving horse combine to create a story that absolutely should not be considered safety advice.Two friends, a lot of chat, some very questionable clues, plenty of tangents and the return of the usual CJ & Ted chaos.The CJ & Ted Show is back. And the technical difficulties are already winning.#CJTedShow #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishHumour #FridayNightLive #GeoGuessr #WhatsInTheBox #DramaClub #CJandTedDramaClub #ComedyShow #LiveStream #CanadianGeoGuessr #FunnyChat #CJandTed

This week on The CJ & Ted Show… it’s technically live… but not actually live.In a special “live not live” episode, CJ and Ted battle through another UK heatwave while debating whether British houses are secretly designed to function as giant brick ovens. From air conditioning envy and sweaty weather complaints to Geoguessr disasters, steakhouse strategies, and the true purpose of barbecue salads, this episode goes completely off the rails in the best possible way.There’s also:British people versus hot weather ☀️The great air conditioning debateGeoguessr confusion across Europe and beyond 🌍Why UK homes trap heat like furnacesSteak obsession and all-you-can-eat chaos 🥩Why nobody actually wants the salad at a barbecueComplaining about weather like proper Brits.As always, there’s no structure, no preparation, and absolutely no reason any conversation should naturally flow from heatwaves to halloumi… but somehow it does.#CJTedShow #FridayNightLive #ComedyPodcast #BritishPodcast #Geoguessr #UKHeatwave #BritishHumour #LiveStream #Podcast #RandomChat #UKWeather #Steak #Barbecue #ComedyShow #YouTubePodcast
