Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast · Terry and Ted

Meet the old boss, just like the old boss.

April 23, 2025·1 hr 10 min

The show opens on April 23 with Terry and Ted measuring spring by how much snow is still left on the ground. Terry still has snow on his property, and both hosts treat that as proof the season has not really arrived yet. From there, they drift into their familiar weather commentary. The joke is that the forecast has become part of the podcast’s identity, not just the preamble. Their sponsor read from the UPS Store Canada folds right into the banter. The recurring Anytime Go cue turns into a running gag, and even the idea of renaming the podcast gets tossed out casually. The tone stays loose and local, which fits a show built on two friends talking through the same weather, streets, and habits. The episode then reaches for a ghost story. Rob Braid remembers a legendary old music-business building that was all wood and cherry wood, with floors that creaked when you walked across them. The detail does most of the work. It makes the place feel lived in before the story even ends. He also recalls meeting Rob first as a music rep, long before they ended up working together. That small time jump gives the memory extra weight. After that, the hosts turn to Sugar Sammy. They read the note about his special English series in Montreal this summer for unilingual Anglos and keep the tone playful enough to match the invitation. Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21 are called out, along with the ticket-list signup at sugarsammy.com. They even joke their way through the bilingual framing of the announcement. The episode closes with the usual mix of links, email, a mention of Spotify reviews, and a round of thanks to the sponsors and guests. By the end, it feels less like a polished segment stack and more like a long-running local conversation that happens to be recorded.

As heard by us

Weather gripes, sponsor banter, and a ghost story keep the chat loose and grounded.

Standing By keeps to familiar ground: weather grumbling, sponsor banter, and a conversation that never seems in a hurry. The April 23 recording date gives Terry's snow complaints some seasonal bite, and that opening complaint sets the tone quickly enough.
