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a lively discussion about the rules of social interaction — which ones make perfect sense, which ones are hopelessly outdated, and which ones CJ and Ted think should exist.As they work through the questions, Ted and CJ add their own experiences, opinions and, naturally, a few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

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?
