  • The CJ & Ted Show LIVE! - Friday 31 October 2025

    This week on The CJ and Ted Show, CJ is still holed up in a hotel near Gatwick, battling dodgy Wi-Fi, 5G hotspots and overpriced room service, while Ted is back at home holding the fort. With Halloween in full swing, they dive into why it still feels like an imported bit of American nonsense in the UK, the awkward reality of trick-or-treating, and the rise of the over-decorated, jump-scare neighbour.

    From there it’s straight into Bonfire Night and Guy Fawkes – the strange British tradition of celebrating a failed plot by burning an effigy, setting off fireworks at all hours, and traumatising pets and neighbours in the process. That then somehow turns into a full-blown food and breakfast deep dive: haggis vs black pudding, the state of hotel breakfasts, scrambled vs fried vs poached vs boiled eggs, French toast vs “eggy bread”, and the very personal politics of salt and sauces.

    They also revisit stories about CJ’s American mate visiting the UK, taking on crumpets, Marmite, Cadbury chocolate, Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips for the first time – with honest (and sometimes brutal) reactions – plus reflections on just how different UK and US food culture really is.

    This week on The CJ and Ted Show, CJ’s holed up in a Marriott near Gatwick and the tech is just about holding together as the lads go long-distance. They kick off dreaming about big-money sponsors and doing the show from beaches around the world, then dive into a properly British rant: should you really get a £150 fine for pouring leftover coffee down a drain in London? That spirals into council “enforcement officers”, government overreach, broken windows theory, and whether targets are turning minor nonsense into big money spinners.

    From there, it’s onto septum rings, TikTok hot takes and the “white saviour liberal” look, as they debate whether certain trends make people more attractive, less attractive, or if it’s actually just about how you feel about yourself. We also get Cat of the Week, with Faith – a paralysed cat who somehow relearns to walk – and a truly horrific “Am I the Asshole?” Reddit story involving a disastrous bathroom incident at a girlfriend’s family dinner and a man who absolutely refuses to own his… output.

    CJ also shares stories from his week with an American colleague on his first trip to the UK – culture clashes, British accents, fish and chips, Marmite, and why he might officially be “done” with Premier Inn after discovering the joys of the Marriott.

    It’s hot, they’re tired, and one of them is dangerously close to starting a bacon-based argument with themselves. This week on The CJ & Ted Show, the duo return with tales of heatwaves, hot cars, and hotter tempers. CJ shares his low-budget methods for cooling down a vehicle (spoiler: they may involve panic and a flannel), while Ted questions the emotional depth of gifting someone a fry-up.

    From the dangers of leaving bacon unattended in a heatwave to the ethics of silent treatment as a communication tool, nothing is safe. They also dive into birthday gift disasters, toxic relationship red flags, and whether AI can tell you why your last three relationships failed. And somewhere in the middle of all that? Investment tips. Probably not good ones, but tips nonetheless.

    As always, expect unfiltered opinions, unexpected insights, and a lot of “just run, dude.”
