  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 20 March 2026

    This week on The CJ & Ted Show, things get chaotic… in the best way.

    We take on a series of puzzles (some easy… some definitely not 😅), dive into a new GeoGuess challenge that sends us deep into the Canadian wilderness, and somehow end up debating one of the most important questions of our time:

    👉 Is it *scone* or *scone*?

    Along the way there’s Cat of the Week 🐱, questionable logic, random tangents, and a GeoGuess round that nearly broke us (but we somehow got within 5 metres 👀).

    If you enjoy puzzles, guessing games, or just two blokes chatting absolute nonsense on a Friday night — you’re in the right place.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 13 March 2026

    In this episode of The CJ & Ted Show, Ted and CJ dive straight into puzzle chaos, starting with a word association puzzle they created themselves and shared on Reddit. The pair revisit the puzzle, check out the stats, and realise they may have accidentally become professional game designers.

    From there, the show moves through a mix of online puzzles and word games, including Connections-style challenges, word searches, and a surprisingly tricky word guessing game that introduces Ted to the culinary term “panko.”

    Along the way the conversation goes off on classic CJ & Ted tangents — from old Milky Way adverts and storage struggles on phones to the strange logic of the Bluey universe and whether it might secretly be set in a post-apocalyptic world run by dogs.

    The episode also features Cat of the Week, a Super Troopers “meow” moment, and the highlight of the night: a GeoGuessr session that sees the duo impressively pinpoint their location within five metres in South Africa before attempting to navigate a frozen mountain pass high in the Himalayas.

    Expect puzzles, geography detective work, random internet discoveries and the usual Friday night chaos.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 6 March 2026

    In this Friday Night LIVE episode of The CJ & Ted Show, Ted and CJ kick things off with a relaxed start before diving into some strange corners of the internet.

    First up, they react to a selection of bizarre “life hack” style videos, questioning whether these supposed tricks are actually useful… or just completely ridiculous. From cooking hacks to questionable DIY ideas, nothing escapes their scrutiny.

    A simple discussion about folding paper quickly turns into a surprising maths rabbit hole, leading to the famous example of exponential growth — where folding paper enough times could theoretically reach two-thirds of the distance to the Sun.

    The conversation then moves into sustainability myths, paper straws, plastic lids and the strange logic behind some modern “eco-friendly” designs.

    Later in the show, Ted introduces Cat of the Week, featuring a ginger cat happily sitting inside a cardboard box — proving once again that cats don’t need expensive toys.

    CJ and Ted also jump into a round of GeoGuessr, travelling virtually across the world and trying to identify locations using clues from landscapes, languages and road signs — eventually narrowing things down to places like Norway and Portugal.

    Towards the end of the episode, they tackle a word association puzzle where the challenge is to find four hidden groups of related words.

    ⚠️ Spoiler warning:

    If you want to try the puzzle yourself before hearing how we approached it, have a go here first:

    Once you’ve tried solving it, come back and watch the episode to see how CJ and Ted tackled it.

    As always, it’s another relaxed Friday night full of strange internet discoveries, geography guessing, puzzles and unexpected conversations.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 27 February 2026

    In this episode of The CJ & Ted Show, Ted and CJ cover everything from politics and fasting to takeaways and online games — with plenty of chaos along the way.

    The show kicks off with a look at the latest UK political drama, including by-election results and shifting party dynamics. From there, the conversation quickly moves to food — including intermittent fasting, late-night sandwich triumphs, Chinese takeaway habits, and why every takeaway somehow costs £30.

    But the real adventure begins when Ted and CJ dive into a series of games. From word puzzles and hidden-cat challenges to their ongoing GeoGuessr exploration, the duo attempt to identify locations using only visual clues. After navigating streets in India and analysing road signs across Spain, they eventually pull off an incredible GeoGuessr moment — landing their guess just three metres from the exact location.

    Along the way there’s plenty of humour, questionable detective work, and the return of the legendary Cat of the Week.

    It’s puzzles, geography, food debates and complete podcast chaos — exactly what you’d expect from Ted and CJ.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 20 February 2026

    In this episode of The CJ & Ted Show, Ted and CJ kick things off with weekend plans, cooking experiments and a proper deep dive into food preferences. From chili techniques and pasta tweaks to the eternal importance of bacon at breakfast, the conversation is packed with relatable kitchen chaos, strong opinions and the kind of food chat that somehow turns competitive.

    But that’s only half the story.

    The lads then jump into GeoGuessr, putting their geography skills (and instincts) to the test. Armed with nothing but visual clues, road signs and questionable confidence, they travel virtually from Japan to California and even Peru — navigating landscapes, decoding languages, spotting cultural hints and debating infrastructure like seasoned explorers.

    It’s part cooking chat, part geography lesson, part chaotic guessing game — and entirely Ted and CJ.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 13 February 2026

    In this episode of The CJ & Ted Show, Ted kicks things off solo, diving into a series of Reddit’s classic “Am I the Asshole?” scenarios — unpacking relationship drama, personal boundaries, and the art (or lack) of communication.

    Halfway through, CJ makes a slightly surprised entrance… arriving late and going straight into the show live, with barely a moment to catch his breath. The result? Proper live-stream energy, quick reactions, and a bit of classic CJ confusion as he figures out what’s going on in real time.

    From awkward misunderstandings to deeper reflections on work-life balance and the growing role of AI in the workplace, the conversation moves between thoughtful insight and light-hearted chaos. As always, it wraps up with humour — because sometimes that’s the only sensible response to modern life.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 5 December 2025

    Two men, zero prep, and somehow we’re nearly eight years into this nonsense. In this episode, CJ and Ted realise (again) that they’ve done no planning whatsoever, so they lean fully into chaos: talking about how long they’ve actually been doing the show, why “we’ll plan next week” is a lie, and how this format weirdly still kind of works.

    Ted tests out the viral mayonnaise omelette in the microwave trick (yes, really), which leads to Roll-gate – did he actually say he buttered the roll or not? Evidence is presented. The Cat of the Week is a very soggy, windswept street cat with a broken umbrella, and Grok is drafted in to over-explain it like an academic paper.

    They dive into Reddit:

    - “Am I the Asshole?” for breaking up over texting habits and being left on read

    - A guy whose girlfriend wants him to sack his cleaner (and how that escalates fast)

    - The Instagram drama: is it creepy to follow 18-year-olds when you’re pushing 30?

    - A full watch-along and breakdown of the Hot Crazy Matrix video

    - Plus a detour into shower routines, cleaning hacks, gym showers vs home bills, and whether hiring a cleaner is lazy or just efficient adulting.

    Stick around, argue with them in the comments, and tell them if you’d sack the cleaner, unfollow the Insta model, or eat the mayo omelette.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 28 November 2025

    This week on The CJ and Ted Show, the lads go full rant mode as they tear into the latest UK Budget and what it really means for everyday people. From income tax freezes and “fiscal drag” to the looming per-mile charges on electric cars, CJ and Ted try to make sense of why it always seems to hit the same people in the pocket. There’s also a deep dive into mansion tax, property prices, and how owning a house you can’t afford to sell somehow makes you “wealthy” on paper.

    Politics gives way to another brilliant round of “Am I The Asshole?”, where they debate tipping culture in the US after a waitress publicly shames a customer, and a wild story involving a cleaning lady, jealousy, and the end of a relationship over fridge boundaries and housework.

    Things get lighter with Cat of the Week, a four-hour cat-video rabbit hole, AI-generated cats with dramatic storylines, and the terrifying reality of how easily your algorithm can spiral out of control. The episode wraps with a surprisingly in-depth conversation about showering habits, gym showers vs home showers, energy costs, and whether it’s cheaper to get clean at PureGym than in your own bathroom. As always: chaotic, honest, opinionated, and very British.

  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 21 November 2025

    This week on The CJ and Ted Show, the lads are finally back after a short break and immediately go off on one about… well, everything. CJ reveals he’s somehow become a three-times-a-day exercise guy with a home treadmill, rower and spin bike, while Ted processes this shocking development live on air. From there they wander into cold snaps and weird UK weather, and CJ accidentally becomes our unofficial traffic and travel correspondent with talk of motorway closures no one will remember in a week.

    They then get properly stuck into takeaways, Just Eat, Deliveroo and delivery drivers who clearly stop at Asda mid-journey, before moving onto a long, sweary and very honest rant about the BBC licence fee, funding models, TV taxation and why everything seems worse value than it used to be. That somehow spirals perfectly into fish and chips, seaside chip shops, McFlurries, meal deals, and a love letter to perfect roast potatoes and chips.

    The second half of the show is all about competitive eating: BeardMeatsFood, obscene breakfast challenges at the Pump House Café in Wellingborough, giant nugget boxes, and whether CJ and Ted should attempt a food challenge themselves (spoiler: they absolutely should). Along the way they cover salad vs gluttony, “eyes bigger than belly” logic, and the art of planning a full day of eating and drinking. It’s chaotic, ranty, oddly comforting – in other words, classic CJ and Ted.
