Honesty Is The Best Policy

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Ro's biggest fear came true as he encountered another flat tyre, leaving Migs and Sen to their own devices. They lift the hood a little on the boys trip to the Easter Show, we discuss Trump's insane ramblings, the kit kat heist, an exuberant salesman, wild takes on IG Live and Sen wears a mental t-shirt.

We have another game this week "Winner Stays On," where as the name suggests, the boys give each other a number of alternate options in a category and they must pick one until there is only one winner remaining.

It's Got A Good Spread

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Just when you thought we possibly couldn't have any more wedding yarns, here we are this week with back to back wedding tales to kick us off. Ro begins with a story of a wedding in the Hunter (if you can wrap your head around that) before Migs recounts a different wedding he attended over the weekend. Migs also went shooting and Sen hits the boys with a stream of consciousness.

Our game this week is pretty topical - "Then vs Now" where we compare the prices of everyday items and larger purchases with prices from 10-20 years ago.

Hacksaw Rizz

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Just Migs and Ro this week and it's been a while since we've had this combo. Ro starts with a yarn about a man trying to find some love and is willing to pay $25,000 to find it. In a similar vein, next up is a discussion on the 'Manosphere' documentary before Miguel recounts his time at the Matilda's game and then at Barry's bootcamp. Ro then makes his case for not being conscripted and then heaps praise onto George Street.

We end with the always reliable "Top 10's/5's." Always worth mentioning to take our views with a massive grain of salt.

The Never Ending Wedding

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +1000

As the title suggests, we have the much anticipated final instalment of Ro's wedding, featuring a dodgy cameraman and even dodgier dancing. We also hear about Ro being emasculated and Miguel's adventure in a broken down car. We have a car mind your manners as well before Sen brings a few tidbits to the table.

We end with "What Your X Says About You," where we rattle off some (potentially outdated) stereotypes about coffee orders, gyms, NRL teams, suburbs and AI tools.

The Angry Priest

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +1000

The wedding yarns continue as Ro runs a few dubious wedding related items by the boys before we waffle on for another half an hour, covering a range of topics including lookalikes, birdmen, free chicken, Ro's horrible dancing and of course Iran.

In our segment this week, we test how ChatGPT reacts (often overwhelmingly positive and supportive) when you present it with an outrageous scenario.

Mogged By AI

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Ro is back, fresh off his honeymoon, and we start this week by hearing his version of events at his wedding, including a behind the scenes look at all the highs and lows. We then talk about his honeymoon and his new found life of being a house husband. Sen then brings up a viral substack which outlines a very dystopian future regarding AI.

We have 2 mini games this week with the first one being a game where Ro and Sen have to guess which are real KD burner tweets and which are AI. The second game is where Migs and Ro have to guess how many times different people show up in the Epstein files.

8th Wonder of the World

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +1000

No Ro, no Kush which means once again it falls to Migs and Sen to keep this machine running. Sen outs himself for some rare behaviour, Migs and Sen then recount their Friday night at Leichhardt Oval before we spend way too much time talking about a bloke named Enrique.

We put the call out for a Q&A and you guys delivered as we answered some serious and some not so serious questions across a wide range of topics.

Kundragon Returns

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Kushy is back for the first time in 2026, but unfortunately Ro is off on his honeymoon (shout out Trip.com) so it's just the 3 musketeers today. Migs and Sen recount Ro's wedding last weekend, Kush has some tales from SF, including a quick mind your manners, we ran into some listeners during the week and we have a football update.

We're back with "Things No One Says," this week as we rattle off niche sentences that have never been uttered.

The Homeless Mug Off

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Bit going on this week, as we start with Sen dobbing himself in for being cheap, he also reveals he's now an engaged man as well. Speaking of mug offs, Ro got given the business by a homeless man, we talk about the world's worst bookstore, Sen asks what happened to George Street Maccas and then ends with a rant about catching the bus.

We bring back "Top 5's" as we are tested on some fact based ones but then also have to endure some inevitable hot takes with some opinion based ones.

Holy Matrimony

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Here we are, Ro's last few days of freedom before he ties the knot. He gives us some last minute updates for his wedding and then an epic battle he fought whilst trying to book his honeymoon. Ro also has some unethical life hacks for organising a wedding. Migs has a metro yarn, Sen talks about AI and has a sudden urge to buy an E-bike.

We are back with "Compare and Contrast" as we tier list cuisines from around the world. We are sure people are chomping at the bit to hear 3 culinarily challenged men provide their opinions on food they couldn't cook.

Lord Of The Floods

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Plenty of tales from Ro's bucks on this week's episode including an epic Sunday saga. We also get an update on Miguel's fines and we play guess the grunt.

"What Your X Says About You," is back for 2026 with the boys raring to go with making as many stereotypes as they can.

Anus Adventure

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +1000

This week we talk Ro's bucks, Polymarket, Migs saw a stereotype in China and Ro tries to tell a story about networking that descends into anus chat.

We bring back the popular "Top 10's," with Migs putting Sen and Ro through their paces for the first time in 2026.

Rohit's Chamber of Secrets

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are back for the first proper episode of 2026 and wowee do we have a good one. We start with some yarns from the back end of last year including the boys trip to Canberra for Spilt Milk as well as Ro and Sen's trip to BrisVegas for the cricket. We then get some holiday yarns from Miguel's time in China as well as Sen's time in Hong Kong and Japan.

We bring back our yearly tradition as Sen tests Miguel and Ro's knowledge of the year's events with the Google Trending Searches Quiz for 2025.

Bonnie Blue Balled

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +1000

Yep you read the title right - Bonnie Blue reached out to us to appear as a guest on the pod. Hear all about the moral conundrum in the podcast camp about whether or not to entertain this intriguing offer. We also talk about a Namibian politician named after an Austrian painter. Kush then brings up some tales of racism from SF before Sen and Miguel swap tales about parking. We end with rating corporate office Christmas parties (this episode was recorded in December).

After a very long stint on the sidelines we bring back the once popular "What is the Question" for our game and for a bit of fun this week.

The Hit List (with Patrick Yazbek)

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week for the pod as we welcome current professional footballer and Socceroo Patrick Yazbek onto the show. We learn all about Yaz's journey to professional football from early beginnings to making his professional debut and even representing his country. We hear some great yarns from his NPL days, as well as stories about the A-League, Norway and of course the MLS. All round just a fantastic chat with Yaz.

The Good Gays

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +1000

King Kundra is still here gracing us with his presence. He begins this week with some yarns on Kundra Snr, including an update on the infrared vacuum and his negotiating skills. Kush and Migs had some run ins with fans, before we talk about El Jannah's sale to Private Equity and Ro met another bloke with 2 phones.

For our game this week we have the "2025 Quiz" with Migs testing the rest of the boys knowledge on the events of 2025.

We end with "Corporate Characters," where we discuss the archetypal characters you interact with on a daily basis at work and who you should avoid being / being seen with.

Kush's Kids Carriage

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +1000

The whole gang is back for the first time in a year. Kush’s got yarns out the wazoo including transport yarns (shoutout Sydney metro) and some dating yarns. Then we delve into animal rights as we discuss a real life reindeer on the Central Coast, live fish in restaurants and Sen saw a gnarly chicken video. We also chat La Mono, Betoota stepping on our toes, running stories, a hostage car and an infrared vacuum.

We end this week with “Guess the Asian,” as we have listeners send in photos of themselves with the boys trying to guess what part of Asia they are from.

King of San Francisco

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Ring a ding ding you've got the king - that’s right King Kundra is back in town and he’s gracing us with his presence. He’s got plenty of yarns with an update on his dad’s battle with Good Guys, a story about a new number, glazing halloween and then even more glazing of Air New Zealand. We end with some bashing of Sky Sports and a very tone deaf marketing campaign.

We have some “Corporate Starter Packs,” which are some helpful survival tips and tricks for excelling in various roles in corporate.

Our last segment is “Then & Now,” where we reminisce on the good old days of things in Sydney that probably don’t exist anymore.

Tactics and Turbans (with Harjas Singh)

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Absolute ripper of an episode this week as we are joined by young gun cricketer Harjas Singh, fresh off smoking the third highest score in Sydney Grade Cricket history. We chat early beginnings in cricket, his meteoric rise, winning a World Cup, the triple hundred, his life outside of cricket and plenty in between. Overall a fantastic yarn with Harjas and of course had to play a quick game with him as well. Despite audio evidence to the contrary, Migs was in fact in this episode.

Ding Dong, It's The Peanut Gallery

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We're back with another ripper episode and thankfully for the listeners Manu is back as well. He brings some yarns including a religion based email sign off and a tale of going to Sculptures By The Sea. Sen went to Oasis, dobs himself for becoming an office yuppie and shouts out Nancy Pelosi and Mamdani.

The game this week is "Price is Right," as Sen has Migs and Ro guessing the prices of various different subscription platforms.

We end with "Things No one Says," with us reciting brand new sentences that have never been uttered by any other human before.

Two Boomers And A Robot

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 05:00:00 +1000

This week is just Ro and Sen left to their own devices with no Migs to keep them in check. Sen kicks us off this week with a philosophical discussion on what “6-7” means with Ro providing little to no input. Sen then goes to town dobbing in one of his mates for being an absolute rare unit.

The game this week is “Top 10,” with Ro testing Sen’s knowledge on various Top 10’s.

To end this week we bring back “Corporate News,” with chat around some naughty behaviour at work that was unfortunately caught on camera and the Neo robot that can apparently do your chores for you.

The Bowral Cartel

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Another week and more wedding chat with Sen bringing another yarn from Triple Cheese as a continuation of the yarn told last week. Sen also had a run in with a local drunk on the metro before being mugged off by a barista. Ro MC’d a wedding and also got mugged off by a local taxi driver.

The game this week is “AI or Not,” as Ro and Sen work together to figure out which of the Shark Tank products Migs presents to them are real and which are AI generated.

To end this week we bring back “What Your X Says About You,” as we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions including their profile pics, plane seat, what time they log off at and where they live.

Groomzilla

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Wedding heavy chat this week as Ro tells a tale of a wedding Instagram page and a case of mistaken identity. We find out some old high school lore regarding a wedding of an old schoolmate, while Ro has his own battles with his upcoming wedding. Finally Sen tells us a gnarly story of his friend in Vietnam.

The game this week is “Search and Destroy,” which has nothing to do with the game mode in Call of Duty, but instead is a fun little game where the boys say a letter and category and the first person to name a word that fits both, gets a point.

We end this week with “Agree or Disagree” with the boys testing some of their hot takes on each other as well as some of the hot takes submitted via Instagram.

Plenty Of Room For Racism

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +1000

The boys attended their 10 year high school reunion and brought some yarns from the night. Sen has some tales from Singapore including being continuously mugged off by JB Hi Fi. Ro has an ambitious plan to become a part time postie before Sen rants about his new iPhone.

Got some “Corporate News” this week as we talk about some red hot topics in the world of Australian corporates - this week we discuss Western Sydney Uni’s dismal security, Deloitte got caught using AI and Sora 2.

We end with an old faithful - “Compare and Contrast,” as we tier list the best lunch spots in the Sydney CBD.

The Gang Goes Mormon

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +1000

As the episode title suggests, the boys feel a bit Mormon this week. Miguel is fresh off seeing the musical and the boys swap stories of some of the heinous behaviour they witnessed whilst watching. The lads discuss the actual musical as well as the Mormon religion as a whole. Sen rants about a new registration system for amateur summer soccer and Miguel also witnessed some child abuse and a rogue way of eating Chinese delicacies.

We are back with some “Blind Ranking” this week with some serious topics and some not so serious topics.

We end with a slight mishap with Ro having to leave early due to an emergency leaving Sen and Migs up to their own devices - the smell of Pokemon Smash or Pass filled the room. Instead they discussed some football hot takes which could be very much Pokemon Smash or Pass territory.

Life's Good

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Kush is back this week in a big way as he graces us with many yarns and hot takes. Firstly we begin with a big heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to try the Strawberry Kush with the matcha turning out to be an overwhelming success! We then dive into everyone’s favourite genre of Kush tale - Kundra vs a large corporation. This time it’s Kundra senior who’s taking on electronic manufacturer LG.

Our game this week is “Top 5,” but with an exciting new twist, as we discover the highest paid CEO’s, the funniest joke in the world, the most Oscar winning actors and whatever Sen takes us through.

We end with an all time classic segment “Cuck or Be Cucked.” This week Kush brings us a yarn of an annoying plane passenger as well as our second favourite type of Kush tale - a cinema rare unit.

The Enigma

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Long stressful week at TCB HQ as we gear up for the release of the Strawberry Kush. Ro relives his trauma of the week in a long winded (and potentially only funny to us) story about his battle with a man named Jason. Sen also tells a story about redundancy.

Our game this week is "Price is Right," as Ro quizzes Sen and Migs on various items he finds on Facebook marketplace.

We end with "Recast Patrol," where we reimagine movies with a new cast, preferably from a completely different industry or genre.

Strawberry Kush

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Huge announcement this week as we reveal our exciting collaboration with The Sneaker Laundry - a strawberry matcha slushy, aptly called "Strawberry Kush." We also announce the competition aspect with the first 3,000 purchases of the drink receiving a scratch card with the chance to win one of many awesome prizes. Sen has some stay dangerous's and metro yarns, Ro finally bought a new card and Migs talks Out of Office messages.

We end this week with another round of "Top 5's," including more football hot takes, some athletic hot takes and Sen takes a trip down memory lane.

The Unbreakable Contract

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We kick things off with more car based yarns this week as we have a listener voice note who reckons they are just as bad at Ro in terms of racking up parking fines. Sen also chips in with his egregious parking tales before Ro gives us an update on his car hunting as he goes all woke, looking for a hybrid. Migs then has a story of how he cowardly declined to help his cousin in need and Ro takes us home with a valuable lesson for life - always read the contracts you sign.

Our game this week is the “Guess Who,” where Ro and Migs have to guess the famous person (real or not) using only 10 yes or no questions.

We end this week with “Salary Transparency” as we discuss listener’s salaries and various salaries across industries.

The Jackie Chan Fan Club

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We kick off this week (pun intended) with an update of our soccer semi final few weeks back, shoutout the 2 C's. We talk about the March for Australia protests (Rohit was proud to be attending), we talk about over reliance on AI and we end with a story of watching Jackie Chan's latest film.

Our game is the "Top 10 Game," with Sen quizzing Migs and Ro on various Top 10 lists.

"TCB Debate" is back this week after a long break with the boys back to debating topics no one asked to be debated.

The Southern Fist (with Andy Trieu)

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We are incredibly excited to be joined by Andy Trieu this week. Andy is an actor, stunt man, martial artist and K-Pop aficionado. We learn all about Andy's career from humble beginnings in Canberra to being involved in the multi billion dollar Marvel Cinematic Universe and everything in between.

We play "Bullslut" with Andy as we test his abilities of naming many items in 30 seconds as well as his poker face.

We end with "Dirty Little Secrets," as we dive deep into the entertainment (TV and movie) industry with Andy to learn about things that most people outside of the industry wouldn't know (and things people in the industry don't want you to know).

The Two C's

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Lots going on this week, Sen had 2 lunches in a day, Ro got fined again but also assisted another driver in breaking the law. Migs talks Coke Plus (not that coke), the boys have a big soccer semi final coming up and are refraining from two of their favourite activities (the two c’s) and they also talk creatine and Zyzz. We end with one of the wildest Stay Dangerous’s we have ever received and definitely do not recommend anyone else try this.

Our game this week is the “Guess the Salary,” where Ro and Sen have to guess the average salary for different professions.

We end this week with “Change My Mind,” where the boys bring their rarest (and potentially hot) takes and have the other 2 try and change their minds.

Island Boys

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +1000

This week we’re Island Boys (not that island), but more specifically Sen is an Island Boy fresh off his trip to Fiji. He has yarns to the gills from his trip as well as some metro yarns and a sad update regarding his battle with Revenue NSW. Ro has his own depressing story as well featuring his water bottle and Manu wants to talk about Theo Von and The Rizzler.

Our game this week is the “Missing Link” where Ro gives Migs and Sen a list of names and they must find a common link between these names. For whatever reason, Ron Jeremy is discussed.

We’re back again with “Top 5’s” this week as the boys take turns ranking their top 5’s in various different categories including corporate feelings and days, asian traditions, streets won’t forget Australians and chocolates.

Kiribati, Kush & Kucks

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Absolutely monumental episode this week with Sen conveniently transversing international waters come tax time. A man down, we've had to call in the big guns - Kush is back, Cuck or be Cucked is back but most importantly Kiribati is back. To kick the episode off, we have Kush giving us some more life updates since he last hopped on but now in HD audio. We hear about dapping ettiquette, splitting bills, interactive weddings & making new friends in America.

One for the OGs, we have Kiribati - a game we haven't done since literally over 300 episodes ago. The game is simple, one of the boys throws out a person, place, thing or fact and the others have to say whether they know it or not as well as prove how they know it. The game is absolutely electric as all 3 boys whip out completely random knowledge about all sorts of things.

Finally, we end with the segment you have all been asking for... Cuck or be Cucked (not sure if you wanted the whole segment, or just the theme song). In this segment, we run through stories for you, the CuckNation, where someone has been cucked (champ'd, alpha'd, one-upped, mugged off etc.), awarding Cuckatoos (patent pending) on how badly they've been cucked and offer advice on how to reverse the cuck. We have a wide variety of stories so strap in for this one.

Ro Goes Woke

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We kick things off this week with some sad news as Migs reveals his Lindt supply is dry. We then discuss other gravy trains, self-serve petrol stations, hybrid cars and we end with the best side gig ever.

Our game this week is the “Suburb Quiz,” as we asked our listeners to answer very specific questions about their suburbs and it's up to Ro and Migs to guess the suburb based on those answers.

We end with “Rare Units” this week as we bring back this segment after a long time. We have 2 listeners call up with stories featuring a junky and a very tone deaf match maker. The boys each have their own rare units as well.

The Sleepless Entrepreneur (with Eugene from The Sneaker Laundry)

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Massive episode as friend of the show Eugene from Sneaker Laundry joins us. We talk to Eugene about his different businesses, how Sneaker Laundry began, getting into matcha, giving a uni graduation class speech and much more.

This week it’s Eugene’s turn to take on Migs in “Bullslut.” Bit of 1 on 1 action as the lads take turns trying to name as many things within a category in 30 seconds.

We end with “Head to Head.” It’s been a while since we’ve incited a city war so what better time than with Eugene who spends a fair chunk of time between Sydney and Melbourne. We assess both cities across a number of metrics to see who comes out on top.

We Fought The Law (And The Law Won)

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Plenty of yarns this week and we start off with the story that is referenced in the title of this week’s episode. In the third and final instalment of Sen’s bitter stand off with Revenue NSW. The great man penned a beautiful soliloquy to Revenue NSW outlining why he was hard done by and the reasons the fine should be rescinded - they essentially told him to hit the bricks. Similarly, Ro is also fighting a parking fine with the great council of North Sydney. In other news, Migs finds a Pokemon card worth quite a bit of money.

The game this week is “Top 10’s” as we each have a top 10 list for the other 2 to guess.

Look out its 2023 again, as we end with “Reviewing Office Snacks.” We had a sudden flurry of listeners sending in their office snacks again and this time for 3 very large Australian companies so of course we had to have a look.

If you actually read this description, please watch this episode on Youtube and let me know if you think Ro looks like Kassem G with his new glasses.

The Suit Maketh The Man (with Lupo Bianco)

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are joined by a very interesting guest this week as Scott from Lupo Bianco drops by. Scott is a tailor at Lupo Bianco who are one of Sydney’s premier custom suit tailors. We discuss a bit about the business, his journey into tailoring, what makes and good suit and much more.

As usual our game is “Bullslut” as Scott takes on Migs and Ro in 5 rounds covering all sorts of topics.

We end with “What Your X Says About You,” as we discuss various different types of suits and the typical types of people who wear these suits.

The Penthouse

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Got a hell of yarn to kick us off this week as the boys went to the infamous Ivy Penthouse for a party last week. Massive shout out to the Maison Chen Law Group for inviting us to their birthday celebrations. We talk about penthouses, showers in penthouses, bathtubs in penthouses as well as a run in with the Glambot operator. There's also some yarns about Totti’s and Sen went karting.

Our game this week is the “Connections Game,” as Migs and Ro are given 2 separate humans from various time periods and they need to find a way to connect them both in the least amount of degrees of separation.

We end with “Corporate Canon Events,” where we discuss the (Sydney) corporate canon events that every individual must experience to truly say they are a corporate drone.

Law Abiding Citizen

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Lot of yap in this week’s episode, so much so that we forgot to do a game. In any case, we start with a stay dangerous, Migs has an update on the shirtless gym bro and then Sen provides an update on his driving fine, as well as a life hack to unlimited free Adobe. Sen also has a yarn about a billionaire and ends on his soapbox complaining about kids on the metro.

Our other segment today is “Top 5’s” as the boys take turns ranking their underrated and overrated top 5’s in various different categories.

Bali Blunders

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Unfortunately no Kush this week, but Migs, Ro and Sen are all back. Ro spent some time in Bali and brought some yarns from before and during his trip including a passport frenzy, a hectic wedding and an unfortunate ATV incident.

We play a variation of “Bullslut” this week between Ro and Sen where Sen shows off his ability to name many different types of analysts.

Our final segment today is “Band for Band,” as we put some countries' cuisines head to head across various categories as we compare like for like dishes.

King Kundra

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Firstly we apologise for Kush’s scuffed audio this week - Sen and Ro are chimpanzee’s. In any case, no Migs for this episode but Kush steps up in his place and wowee does he bring yarns. We talk about all things America, including a sleazy driver, self driving cars, San Francisco’s abysmal nightlife and Kush’s dating adventures.

“Price is Right” is back this week as Sen tests Ro and Kush on how in touch they are with the common Australian with them guessing the price of everyday items as well as some general statistics.

Our final segment today is “Reverse Colonialism,” where Ro (fresh from his trip around Asia) suggests certain traits and ideologies from Asia he believes should be adopted by Australia and western society.

The Phantom Skidder (with Jeffrey)

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We are back with a brand new episode this week after a brief break last week. Joining Migs and Sen is friend of the show (and in real life) Jeffrey whilst Ro is still overseas. We talk about Sydney airport, a rare win against a large tech conglomerate, narrowly avoiding a beat down in soccer and Jeffrey gives us his thoughts on NY and Boston.

Sen tests Migs and Jeffrey’s niche knowledge in the “Top 10 Game” including the athletes with the largest instagram followings, large companies and large countries.

We end with the classic “Rare Units,” featuring a bloke mogging everyone at the gym and then 2 of our favourite category of rare units - the bathroom rare unit.

The TCB Origin Story

Wed, 21 May 2025 05:00:00 +1000

The boys start off the episode strong chatting about hacked uni group chats, the etiquette in greeting high school alum in the wild, and long distance partners mooching long-term accomodation rent free (literally). We round off the logue with an impromptu #AskTCB where we answer some of the burning questions you guys have asked over Instagram - be sure to follow us on @criticalbanter to get your submissions in for next time.

The game this week we bring back the “Letter Game” - where the boys name a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second letter Sen gives them. After the sheer simplicity of the first rendition of this game, we add an additional rule where the word must be more than 4 letters.

Second segment of the week is another returning segment "Blind Ranking" - where we rank random top 5s without knowing the rest of the list. We cover some outrageous topics such as Harry Potter characters on how racist we think they are, various 'Jacks', Premier League wingers, Australian CEOs on how fast we think they'd be at a 100m race - and so much more.

Sen vs Microsoft

Wed, 14 May 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Sen kicks off formalities this week with a few tales. In his first tale he is both the victim and perpetrator, as he ignores the sage words of Gandhi and goes eye for an eye. In other news, Sen is also engaged in a painstaking battle with Microsoft in a desperate attempt not to get charged $150. Elsewhere, Ro got a ride share with a driver who started abusing him to his face in another language - unfortunately for the driver, Ro understood every word.

The “Wavelength” game is back with Sen and Ro giving each other clues by way of answering increasingly niche/unrelated questions to help them guess what number the other is thinking.

Our final segment this week is “Don’t Say This, Say That.” Have you ever sat in a meeting at work and looked at your coworker secretly hoping you could absolutely spray this clown. In this segment we help you find ways to deliver passive aggressive or otherwise messages, in a very corporate friendly manner.

Accidental Influencers

Wed, 07 May 2025 05:00:00 +1000

This week, Migs and Ro recount their experience at their first ever influencer(?) event where they tried their best to not look like cheapskates and miserably failed in doing so. We also have a listener submission about unethical life hacks which includes impersonating companies, leading to a passionate rant from Migs about a specific ice cream store.

Our game this week is “Taboo,” which is similar to charades except each round gets more difficult as the game master (Sen) adds a ridiculous rule to the already existing rules.

This week we end with “Bottom 5’s” as the boys put a negative twist on their usual Top 5 antics.

The Boy Who Cried Racist

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Some weird energy in the studio this week as the boys recorded this late on a Monday night. Despite the delirium, Ro has a stay dangerous as well as a yarn from his time in BrisVegas about the homeless people of the great northern state. Ro also has a yarn from Oztag featuring serial pest Triple Cheese as he continues to drag this podcast’s name through the mud - this time in a case of mistaken identity. The chat gets derailed and niche from here as we cover Sen getting mauled at the temple, Trump tariffs, watching videos at 2x speed and Declan Rice free kicks.

The game this week is “Think Fast,” which is ironic as this game had Migs and Sen doing everything but that. In any case, Ro gives Sen and Migs 10 statements each which they must answer, the winner is the one who can answer all 10 in the quickest time.

Our final segment is “Corporate Dog,” where we discuss some of the big corporate stories over the past few months that you may have missed. We talk about employers spying on employees at home, corporate espionage and Japan’s 4 day work week.

The Sydney Chicken War (with Wingboy)

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Yet another special episode this week as we welcome Mike and George from Wingboy onto the show. Only the second time we’ve had duel guests on one episode and wowee is this a huge one. We get around Mike and George and learn about their journey to where they are today as well as some industry secrets and future plans for the lads.

As usual we play “Bullslut” with our guests as Mike and George take on Ro for bragging rights.

We end this week with our take on the very popular chicken wing interview show, “Hot Wings.” Masterchef Ro has cooked up some chicken wings with varying levels of spice and as the wings get hotter, so do the questions.

The Man Who Beat Jetstar (with Rohan)

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Unofficial guest episode this week as we welcome back friend of the show (and in real life) Rohan for this 3rd* appearance on the pod. We’ve replaced one rare Ro with another and off the rip we dive into whatever niche interests Ro is into lately. We hear about his equally rare roommates, his obsession with side adjusters and his famous battle with Jetstar. We also talk about Vitamin C showers, Ashton Hall and Trump Tariffs.

The “Wavelength” game is back after a long time with Sen and Ro giving each other clues by way of answering increasingly niche/unrelated questions to help them guess what number the other is thinking.

We finish this week with a segment that’s fast becoming a TCB favourite with “Top 5’s.” We run back the top 5 Sydney cafes (Rohan’s Version), as well as top 5 Sydney bars, useless degrees, best chook in Sydney and more.

How To Be A Heavy (with Cal Best)

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Huge episode this week with another very special guest - Cal Best. The Heavy himself joins us to discuss a range of topics including how he got into watches, how he became a viral sensation, where his famous catch phrases come from as well as just some good funny yarns.

As usual we play “Bullslut” with our guest as Cal goes up against both Migs and Ro for bragging rights.

We finish this week with a 2 for 1 segment with “What Your X Says About You / Tier List,” as of course we ask Cal about his thoughts on various watch brands and the people who buy them as well as ultimately ranking these brands.

The SHOCKING Truth About Reality TV (with Winna Bhun)

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Massive episode this week featuring a very special guest - Winna Bhun. We start off getting to know Winna and his many talents including competitive eating, how he grew his social media following, working at a casino, a drunk night out at UNSW and much more.

As usual we play “Bullslut” with our guest as Migs and Winna go head to head for bragging rights.

We finish this week with a segment called “Mythbusters,” as we ask Winna about his time on Australian Survivor and ask him the hard hitting questions about the show and reality tv in general.

Mayhem In Melbourne

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Yarn heavy episode this week as Ro and Sen recount stories from their weekend in Melbourne, including a very generous restaurant owner, a grumpy casino dealer and large amounts of head loss and carry on from the boys in a story where they definitely come out looking shameful.

Our game this week is “Taboo,” which is similar to charades except each round gets more difficult as the game master (Sen) adds a ridiculous rule to the already existing rules.

We’re back again with “Top 5’s” this week as the boys take turns ranking their top 5’s in various different categories including some questionable takes about jobs.

Make Kebabs Great Again (with The Ox Show)

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Very fun episode this week as we are joined by the Kebab master himself - The Ox Show. We learn all about Ox’s journey into the kebab world, how he began, industry secrets, HSP Appreciation Society, Gold Coast Kebabs and he actually shows us his resume.

We have our first guest for 2025 and as per usual, the game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut'' as Ox goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel.

We end this week with a TCB classic segment with a twist - “Corporate Rare Units.” We love to hear about rare units here at TCB and one of our favourite genres of rare units are the ones you find at work. Sen and Ro share some weirdos they’ve worked with before Ox drops some classics.

Man Vs Cyclone

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Absolutely huge episode this week filled with plenty of yarns. Sen is back from a quick trip to the USA while Ro is also back from a work trip to Byron Bay. Sen went to Vegas and Ro took on a cyclone - this week is story heavy and self indulgent.

We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks Migs and Sen questions from the game to find a winner.

We have a listener-submitted segment this week called “Cheapskates,” where we discuss the cheapest things we’ve seen, done or heard of. We have some listener submissions as well as some of our own experiences as well as famous examples of rich people being cheap.

The Final

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +1000

With Sen exploring alternative (and very right-wing) podcasting options in America and Kush still fighting for his life in the mean streets of San Francisco, we are left with the dynamic duo this week as Miguel & Rohit recap the week. Ro kicks off chatting about the Slater & Gordon incident that left nearly 1,000 executive salaries, performance reviews & other sensitive info leaked.

The boys then spend a disgusting amount of time reliving their Summer Football grand final - with behind the scenes footage, teammate dial-ins & absurd comparisons to winning Olympic Gold. We finish off the Logue with quick updates on AI & parking in Parramatta.

The game this week is a return of '20 Questions'. Simple game (in theory), where one of the boys will have a person, place or thing in mind and the other will ask up to 20 yes or no questions to figure out the mystery answer. Chaos ensues as the boys once again reveal their slow wit & lack of pop culture knowledge.

Second segment of the episode is a twist on 'Top 5s'. In this iteration, we run through what we believe is the top 5 in any given category. We touch upon Sydney cafes, bubble tea orders and more. Being highly subjective, we have already prepared ourselves for the hate that is about to ensue.

We Got Deepfaked

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Another week rolls on and Ro continues to be involved in lengthy battles with various wedding venues across NSW. This week’s battle is catering and which venues will allow delicious Indian and Chinese food to be cooked and served. We then talked about Drake’s Sydney concerts, our Thursday night 6 a side comp before ending with some deeply disturbing footage and a sombre warning about AI.

The ever reliable “Bullslut” is back for the first time in 2025. It’s Ro v Sen as the boys take each other one in some of the most classic TCB categories.

We finish this week with a bit of a throwback with “Would You Rather,” with Migs asking Ro and Sen some of the most popular WYR’s from the internet.

Ro's Wedding Woes

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Ro is up to his gills in wedding planning and begins this week almost immediately complaining about the cost of wedding venues. We entertain this man for a bit before both Migs and Sen share niche Metro chat, we have an update on Summer Soccer which gets derailed for one of the more unbelievable (as in we don’t believe it) Stay Dangerous stories.

The game this week is the “Letter Game” - pretty simple premise as Sen gives the boys 2 letters. They must name a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second letter, the winner is the one who names the word first.

Our final segment is another new one - “Career Limiting Moves.” We start with some listener submissions, before we discuss some of our own/ones we witnessed ourselves which leads us going down some very sobering rabbit holes. We then end with some famous examples of career limiting moves from various athletes.

This week we also have a special message on behalf of the Department of Health and Aged Care.

Miguel Went On National TV

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Few “Stay Dangerous” to kick us off this week before we have an extra unethical life hack from a listener. After we discuss the intricacies of Talon’s plan, we discuss the biggest news of the week - Luka Doncic’s “trade” to the Lakers. Ro then tells us about his accountability group and his menacing communist behaviour. Migs and Sen end with tales of social etiquette in the workplace.

For our game this week we bring back the always popular real estate themed “Price is Right.” Migs and Sen try to guess property prices from across Sydney.

Our final segment is a new one - “Do You Remember,” as we invoke some nostalgic memories of mid-2000’s and early 2010’s Australia including the behind the scenes of one of Australia’s premier children’s quiz shows.

The Boys Got Betrayed

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Migs starts proceedings this week with an immediate attack on a certain culture’s parenting style as he retells his encounter with a bratty child at a shopping centre. Ro shamefully admits to playing Last Man Standing Cricket - the lowest form of cricket known to man. Sen then pleads with the listeners for any potential football players looking to join a new team before outing Ro in a tale of betrayal and deceit.

Our game this week is a familiar game but with a twist. The game is “Reverse Top 5,” where each lad gives their top 5 of something and the other 2 have to guess what the category is.

For our final segment we bring back “Unethical Life Hacks,” where each of the boys share some uncouth life hacks either they do or they have heard from other people. This edition features how to always get free parking, how to get a free mattress, negotiating at a department store and more.

Confessions of a Workaholic

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We kick this week off straight off the bat with a hot take from Miguel as he ponders if Lavar Ball is the greatest dad of all time. Ro then once again shows off his pro bus agenda with a smear campaign against the metro before Sen ends with a tale featuring Cliff Dive and a security guard hellbent on busting Ro’s balls.

New game this week called “Guess the Job.” Miguel has found some very normal job roles that have been given funky titles, the other 2 must guess what the original role is.

Our final segment is “Work Confessions,” where we asked our listeners to send in their work confessions for things they do or have done at their workplace. Some really good submissions as we discuss them and add in our own confessions.

Communist Summer

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 05:00:00 +1000

We bid farewell to Kushagra once again but welcome back to Sen who returns from his trip to Vietnam. He comes bearing gifts - both physical and metaphysical in nature. He brings along with him a new ideology which he immediately pushes onto the boys. As the lads get used to their new left wing mantra, Sen regales them with tales of his trip to Vietnam.

We’re bringing back an old game with “Stockholm Syndrome” where Sen gives the boys some names and they must figure out if it's an Australian Open tennis player or IKEA furniture.

We end this week with our first tier list of 2025 in the segment “Compare and Contrast.” This week we tier list Sydney dessert places including Sydney institutions, cult classics and some Tik Tok viral places.

The Wickedly Talented TCB

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 05:00:00 +1000

The boys from last week run it back again with Sen still MIA, probably pleading with US officials not to ban Tik Tok. In any case, Ro kicks us off with a baffling tale of watching Wicked in cinemas and a potential administration error on his end. He then even more concerningly admits to not knowing Wicked is a musical. Kush then tells a yarn of some cat like PDA, Mig’s saw a bloke wearing a gaming headset out and about before he laments the fact we’re all getting old and we don’t know what skibidi means.

We’re back with a TCB vs listener edition of 'Bullslut'. We once again put the call out on Instagram and had some fine challengers take us on.

We end this week with one of our more popular segments - “What Your _ Says About You” is back for the first time in 2025. This is just a segment where we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions.

The Truth About San Francisco

Wed, 08 Jan 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Second episode of the year and we got a full house minus Sen. Kush once again laments his lack of staying dangerous and implores people to accost him on the street if they see him. He also tells a yarn of being involved in a violent high speed motor vehicle accident (he got rear ended by his mate at go karts) and his scheme to get out of paying for it. Ro also has a yarn of trying to get tickets to the Sydney Test Match including how to identify potential scams.

Kush has our game today called “Guess the Crime.” There is an app in the US called “Citizen” which allows people to report any crimes in the area on the app for others to see. Kush has found some of the most outrageous ones as well as making up some of his own and the other 2 must guess what the real crimes are. This is not a paid partnership for the app.

Our final segment is the always reliable “Head to Head,” and this week we put Sydney vs San Francisco head to head across a number of categories with Kush out here fighting the good fight for San Fran. We might be potentially very bias to Sydney in this segment.

2025: The Second Coming

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 05:00:00 +1000

Happy New Year from all the boys at Critical Banter! After finally settled into his new life into San Francisco, Kush decided now would be a great time to return home to Sydney. Before explaining or even acknowledging Kush's return to the studio, Migs & Sen selfishly take over the Logue to chat about several pressing matters - including New Years Resolutions, Lune Bakery & Star Bar. With that out of the way, Kush is finally allowed to regale some tales from the Bay Area covering his day-to-day, the rare units he's encountered and most importantly, his safety from the Fenty fold.

The game this week is 'Bullslut' with arguably our most special guests ever - you guys. We put the call out on Instagram, and shout out to Niro, Tristan & Areeb for taking on the challenge to go head to head against the boys in the studio. Absolutely riveting gameplay which you do not want to miss!

The final segment of the episode is the return of TCB Debate. For those uninitiated, this is where the boys go head to head against each other to debate any and every topic known to man. This week's edition includes Matcha being overrated, supporting a team outside of where you live, and returning to the office for 5 days a week. We can tell you right now - these debates went disgustingly off topic pretty quick.

All I Want For Christmas is TCB

Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:00:00 +1000

With Christmas fast approaching, 2 of the 3 boys are in festive spirit - with the devout Christian of the group forgetting his Lord and Saviour's birthday. We kick-off with a GOAT tier Stay Dangerous before we delve into the Christmas yarns - corporate parties & Bad Santa. We're then back to our regular scheduled programming with Rohit's not-so-anonymous work surveys, and his not-so-smart story about going to a birthday party where he knew no-one - including the celebrant.

As per the TCB end of year tradition, our game this week is "Google Trends". Senny has prepared lists of various top 10 Google Searches in 2025 and Migs & Ro have to guess what is on the list. Topics span from global Google searches, Australians, athletes, sporting events and much more.

We end this week with another new segment, "Corporate Nicknames". We asked you for some of the nicknames you have floating around your workplace, and we react to the funniest, strangest and most outrageous ones. We still can't believe that the creativity of some of these, with others teetering on the fine line of workplace bullying.

Big Willy's Wedding

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 05:00:00 +1000

All the boys are back again this week and we begin with more Manu Philippines yarns. That’s a lie, he told all his stories last week, instead Ro gives us a wedding planning update and the man is beginning to feel nervous already, more than 12 months away from the big day. We talk Hawk Tuah again, much to Sen’s delight and Ro’s annoyance. We go full crypto bro’s with a discussion on famous rug pull scams before talking conspiracies about cash, homeless people selling The Big Issue, rounding up for Charity and Blessings from Africa.

The “Logo Quiz” is back as we play the famous card game - this is when you know we have exhausted all creative juices.

We end with a new segment, “Corporate Jargon,” as we are so sick and tired of circling back and touching base that we decided to come up with our own nonsensical corporate robot speak you guys can use in the workplace.

Manny Meets Manila

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Praise the lord because Miguel is back! After last week’s shambolic effort from Ro and Sen, Migs is thankfully back to bring some much needed yarns from his trip to the Phillipines. We discussed Manila traffic, speaking the mother tongue, tourist scams, semi-legal gambling and much more.

New and simple game this week called “Rank 5” where as the name suggests Ro gives the boys 5 options and they must rank them in whatever order he says.

We end this week with our version of the Spotify Wrapped with “TCB Wrapped,” with a mix of real and made up statistics regarding our lives.

Dumb and Dumber

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 05:00:00 +1000

After failing to learn from last week the 2 stooges are here again, running it back another week. Not much is going on in the boys' lives as we talk code freezes, Ro drops a life hack, Sen tells a story of a man almost getting bashed for no reason and we end with a chat about the social media ban.

Got a new game this week with “The Linking Game,” which is ripped straight off Tik Tok. Simple game where Ro gives Sen a number and 5 categories that are all linked with that number. Sen’s job is to guess how each category is linked with the number.

We end this week with a classic segment “Hypotheticals.” We’ve found the best hypotheticals on the internet (all of which are monetarily inclined of course) and do our best to answer them.

Ro's Big News

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Well well well it’s finally happened, this week it’s just Ro and Sen (aka dumb and dumber). They decided not to do a game and instead went yarn heavy, including Ro’s injured hand and a damning commentary on Australia’s GP’s. We also hear about his crazy experience in Bankstown, Sen went to a wedding last week and then went hyper karting before Ro finally reveals he is now an engaged man - talk about burying the lede.

We do have a tier list this week with “Compare and Contrast.” This week we tier list corporate Christmas parties that our listeners contributed with some insane parties which include taking over a neighbourhood to some downright terrible ones featuring a self funded party at a local pub.

The Return Of The King

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Stop whatever you’re doing cause we have a massive episode for you guys this week as we are joined live and direct from San Francisco by the king himself Kushagra Kundra. With Kushy back we have a yarn filled episode as we of course talk about the US election and how people reacted over there. Kush then tells some tales of getting a phone plan, edging a shoe company, doing a SWOT analysis on a taser, buying some pepper gel and a rant on tipping culture. Migs shares a story of the wilderness as well as an interview mug off before Ro ends with a yarn about a former Masterchef winner.

Our game this week is “Top 5,” as Migs and Kush try to guess Sydney’s most Chinese suburbs, the most spoken languages in Australia (other than English) as well as Sydney’s most liveable and dangerous suburbs.

Make TCB Great Again (with Triple Cheese)

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Miguel is nowhere to be seen as he continues to celebrate the Donald’s re-election. In Miguel’s absence, Raj (aka Triple Cheese) (aka Sen’s cousin) takes his place for his second appearance on the pod. We start with some Stay Dangerous’s, talk US politics, Pauline Hanson, Melbourne Cup, bathroom rare units and finally Sen has some mind your manners.

Our game this week is “Guess Who,” both the cousins have very niche knowledge on useless things and people so Ro puts them to the test with a guessing game of famous people with some very cryptic clues.

We end with the increasingly popular “Agree or Disagree,” a segment where we each have contentious opinions and see if the boys agree with us or not. This week we talk about how many interviews are too many, are concerts expensive, remote worker pay, road rules and are the hills boring?

The Oldest Scam In The Book

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Quite an interesting episode this week and to kick us off Sen’s got plenty of yarns. He begins with a Marta update and then launches into a tale featuring his friend and a dog photoshoot which ultimately leads to a discussion on classic scams. Ro then dobs his dad in for some rare behaviour before Migs plays the UNO reverse and dobs Ro in.

Our game this week is “Higher or Lower,” fairly straightforward where we have to guess which item from Amazon is more expensive for the first round and in the second round we guess which country has a higher population.

We end this week with a new segment “Niche Habits,” where we discuss, as the name suggests, unique habits we (and the listeners may have). The boys discuss their own first including Migs’ interesting controller grip, Sen’s microwave obsession as well as waving to garage doors before we dive into the listener submissions.

Ro's Big Bet

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Big yarns this episode as we start with a recap of our latest TCB Tries escapade at Parra Lanes. Feel free to write in what you want to see us try next. Then Ro reveals he is a degenerate gambler as he bet everyone else’s money on a boxing fight he had no knowledge about. Miguel talks battle passes and loot boxes in real life in the form of the Mecca Beauty Loop. Finally Sen talks about US politics as we get around Aunty Kamala but secretly wonder if we could become millionaires if we went down the extreme right wing path.

Our game this week is “Scattergories” with Migs and Sen going head to head in a number of categories including an impromptu football round as both prove their nerd status with really no one (including the listener) winning there.

We end this week with the famous subreddit turn podcast segment “AITAH?” We read some of the best posts from this subreddit and provide our own input to ultimately decide if the writer of the post is indeed the AH or not.

Pinoy Party (with The Cheatcoders)

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +1000

A huge episode this week featuring some very special guests as we are joined by Don and Cristian from “The Cheatcoders” podcast. As usual we begin by getting to know our guests, how they began their podcasting journey, how they deal with online hate, hobbies outside of podcasting and we hear perhaps our best ever rarest moment story.

We put our new guests through their paces with our game “Bullslut.” It’s a 2v2 situation with both podcasts being pitted head to head for bragging rights and supremacy.

Speaking of head to head, our final segment today is the aptly named “Head to Head.” Given our esteemed guests are some of Australia’s premier voices of the Filipino community, we thought who better to help us compare the Philippines with South Asia in a number of categories including tardiness, food and punishments. Miguel sounds and looks much more Sri Lankan in this segment.

The Man With No Morals

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Topical start to this week’s episode as we recount a story that happened over a month ago. Sen and Migs went footgolf recently and decided this was the week to regale Ro and the audience with that tale. Ro’s then got his own yarn from that same weekend, including a lavish meal, crab crackers and deceit. We briefly touch upon Sen’s favourite podcast (other than this of course) before Migs ends us with an extremely rare unit at the gym.

We have a new game this week with “Minute Scrambled Eggs.” Ro gives the boys a topic after which they have 2 minutes to cram as much information from the Wikipedia page into their stupid heads as they can. Ro then tests the boy's knowledge with 3 questions based on the Wikipedia page.

We end this week with one of our more popular segments “What Your _ Says About You.” This is just a segment where we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions - this week has a corporate theme as we discuss email signatures, laptops, attire and zoom backgrounds.

We Broke A World Record

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +1000

No clickbait this week, as the title suggests, we attempted to break a world record live on air. The Mr Potato Head dream still lives on, but this week the boys tried to beat the world record for the fastest time to drink a capri sun - a much coveted record. After that malarkey, we discussed the new metro and how it’s actually more of a nuisance than convenient. Finally Ro is in his property mogul era as he outlines his ongoing journey to purchasing a property.

The game this week is the “TCB Spelling Bee.” What starts off as a relatively simple game, takes a turn to become increasingly difficult with us looking barely literate at the end.

It’s tier list time to end us off this week with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” We asked you guys on instagram to give us your best work perks and now we’ve ranked them. Some of you have really good work perks whilst a lot of you need to find new jobs.

TCB Reloaded

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are back on the airwaves this week after a minor blip last week. Kush has safely moved over to the US as we got a glimpse into his life and his living conditions - most importantly, however, his computer (and PS5) are now set up and raring to go. We also tie up some loose ends from our previous few episodes and we have our very first ever “Stay Dangerous.”

Our game is “Top 5’s” this week, as quiz master Ro challenges Migs and Sen to name various different top 5’s in categories such as Australian brands, safest airlines, highest paid Australian athletes and more.

We finish with “Agree or Disagree,” a segment where we each have contentious opinions and see if the boys agree with us or not. This week we talk about the hierarchy of carbohydrates, office perks, k-pop stans and much more.

Kush's Last Dance

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Well here we are, as we have foreshadowed for many weeks now. We bid farewell (but not goodbye) to the one and only Kushagra, but fear not he shall still remain integral to this podcast and we may even get some guest appearances from him live from San Francisco. We talk some footy first with Ro spinning a yarn of antagonising a big Arab man, we discuss Kush’s farewell drinks at one of Sydney’s finest establishments (including a security guard mug off) before Ro reveals a big decision he’s made.

We got a brand spanking new game this week with “Guess the Ethnicity.” As the name suggests we asked our listeners to send voice recordings of themselves speaking their mother tongue as well as some quality selfies - using these the boys must guess where these people are from.

Finally this week we end with “Ask Kush.” To send Kush off into the sunset on his big US journey, we asked listeners to write in with questions they had for the great man and he does his absolute best to not answer a single one of them.

Raygun's Revenge

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +1000

No Ro this week so in his absence we talk about one of his favourite topics - pokies. Kush wistfully retells his experience at a local pokie den playing the classics such as “Where’s The Gold?” “Lucky Dragon” and of course “Bull Rush.” We then talk about Swing City, Employees Only, Sen issues an apology for defending Mr Beast last week before finally moving onto more topical and current news - Raygun. Full disclosure this episode was recorded back when Raygun was still relevant and we really wanted to share our 2 cents on it.

For our game this week “Price is Right” is back. Instead of guessing house prices or even rental prices, Kush and Sen try guessing the prices of popular fast food items.

We end this week with another return segment “Hypotheticals.” A segment where we can waffle on about scenarios which would never happen meaning we can make outlandish claims with no backlash.

Stay Dangerous

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We have a full house this week and wowee do we have an episode for you. We’re off to a scintillating start with Rohit questioning the definition of a burger as he took on a local pub and what they categorise a steak sandwich as. While pondering that, he also had a near death experience as he needed the heimlich to be performed on him. Then we get some yarns of Sen’s night out which included mugging off a mate, getting kicked out and facing a hater in real life - rattling stuff.

We’re back with the famous Tik Tok game - “Impostor". Quite a simple game, each round the boys are given a famous name except for one person who is the Impostor. They then use one word to describe the person and the Impostor must guess the person before the other 2 guess who the Impostor is - except there is a twist this time.

To finish us off we have a segment from left of field - “PIP.” We’ve taken it upon ourselves to put some poor performing individuals on a performance plan in order to turn their fortunes around. In our sights this week are Joe Biden (this episode was recorded before he stepped down), Tiger Woods, Mr Beast and a Spartan general that we all definitely know.

Wicked Wedge Warrior

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Back to regular programming this episode except we got a no show with Sen too embarrassed to show his face after a horrible week in fantasy Premier League. In any case, Kush is counting down the days until he departs this great nation to head off to San Francisco. To prepare he discusses the plight of the homeless over there including purchasing a taser for self defence. We also talk about selling your betting accounts and trying out the local driving range featuring a drive by from a child.

For our game this week we bring back the always popular real estate themed “Price is Right.” Instead of guessing house prices, the boys are shown some rental properties and must guess the rent per week for these places.

“Overrated and Underrated” is also back this week with the boys discussing some listener submissions as well as their own such as crispy coke, fingerprint scanners, marvel films and a secret new app that lets you get 50% meals at restaurants.

Asian Snacks Rate Asian Snacks (with Sydney Food Boy)

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Massive episode this week not only by the sheer length of the episode but also because we are graced by the presence of one of Australia’s premier food bloggers and friend of the show - Sydney Food Boy. We told Ro to hit the bricks to make way for big Kev and we start this week’s episode by getting to know him, learning about how he got into the industry, the tricks of the trade, the sudden boom in the number of food bloggers as well as his alter ego of being an optometrist.

This week the Food Boy takes the hot seat as he plays Migs and Kush in the classic “Bullslut.” The boys have been doing well recently against the guests but with Kush playing who knows what will happen.

We haven’t done one of these in a while so here we are, back with the ever popular segment “Compare and Contrast.” We’ve gone back to our roots this week as we rank some of the most popular Asian snacks, ranging from pocky to seaweed and everything in between.

TCB vs India

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Lots to talk about this week and very little time to spare. Kush is not here this week as he was off finding his trusty MAGA hat and missed this recording. Ro starts us off with an update about the new gaming app Sen’s physio was flogging a few weeks back. We then talk about match fixing in our Sunday league football, angering 1.4 billion Indians and we reminisce about Timstar for some reason.

Our game this week is a twist on an old classic TCB segment - “Musical Bullslut.” Instead of naming things within a category in 30 seconds, Migs and Sen go back and forth on the least amount of seconds needed to guess a song. Pretty fun game until we get done for copyright infringement.

We end this week with one of our more popular segments “What Your _ Says About You.” This is just a segment where we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions - this week we’re talking about jobs, phones, clothes and bubble tea orders.

The Diary of a Sneakerhead (with Justin from PUSHAS)

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We have got a massive episode this week featuring a very special guest - Justin Truong, co-founder of Pushas joins us live in the studio. Really fun and interesting chat with Justin as we hear about the origins of Pushas, starting a business with his partner, his thoughts on some shoe trends and even the story of him teaching Ro at UNSW.

This week Justin takes the hot seat as he plays Migs and Ro in the classic “Bullslut.” You can tell Sen has been spending too much time watching the Olympics this week with one too many Olympic categories.

We end with “Cop or Not,” we usually do this segment as a way to rate corporate merch but instead this week we use Justin’s area of expertise to rate some famous/well-known shoe collaborations or customs.

The Pursuit of Gold

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Record number of consecutive weeks with all 4 members of TCB showing up, but alas don’t get used to it. We kick off this week with yet another yarn from Sen and his physio. At this point we’d be better off swapping Sen out with his physio. This time his story is his physio shilling him a new pseudo-gambling app - smells like trouble. Ro then tells a story which he alluded to in our live show with him being stitched up with a car with no petrol.

Our game this week is “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.” Much like the tv show this game is based on, Miguel tests the boys' knowledge with this very basic general knowledge quiz. The results are quite concerning and a better question to ask would be if the boys are even smarter than third graders.

We end this week with a rather topical edition of “Hypotheticals.” All the hypotheticals discussed are Olympic themed as we discussed animals competing, average joe’s competing, who we would want competing for our lives, which sport we would watch for the rest of our lives and much more.

AI Will Come For Us All

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We’re merely weeks away before Kush departs these shores so we must get the most out of him before then. To start us off this week Kush immediately begins with bringing up the hawk tuah girl again as we discuss how to make the most of your 15 mins of fame. We then debate whether we should fear AI or not before we put the tin foil hats on to chat about the Trump assassination attempt.

Our game this week is “Avoid What We Say,” a slight spin on the popular tik tok game. Sen has prepared 20 questions and answers of his own which he then asks to the boys - a point is awarded if they give a unique answer.

"Starting 5's" is back again this week. This is the segment where we each come up with our own Starting 5's (essentially a basketball team) from any category that would go undefeated in an NBA season - this time we’ve kept it to strictly human categories only.

Authenticity is Overrated

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Full house this week and we begin with a proper reflection of our live show last week with this being the first episode recorded post show. Few yarns from the show before Kush rather sickeningly admits to watching Major League Cricket as we discuss the intricacies to naming a MLC team. Finally we end with a new mini segment “TCB Tries” as we try things around Sydney and this week we start with a review of Chebbo’s new store in Marrickville.

Our game this week is “The Tower” as we once again divide into teams with the familiar Migs and Ro vs Kush and Sen. Simple game as each team has a rule in mind and it’s up to the other team to guess things within the rule to ultimately guess the rule in the end. First team to guess the rule wins.’

We finish with “Agree to Disagree,” a segment where we each have contentious opinions and see if the boys agree with us or not (we bought brand new paddles for this). Few red hot opinions in this edition as Ro froths westernised Asian food, Migs defends Sydney nightlife, Sen glazes Big 4 graduates before Kush fights for his life to prove Sydney has the best coffee.

Nepotism is Good

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We start this week with a massive thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday night for the live show - full disclosure this episode was recorded before it and we’ll have our yarns from the live show on next week’s episode. The boys were pretty delirious this week so not much going on, we talked about gambling, the US presidential debate, Bronny James and of course Hawk Tuah.

Our game was “5 Second Challenge” which quickly became the “3 Second Challenge” which then eventually descended into “how quickly can you name 3 things.” Please let us know if this was an enjoyable listen.

We finish this week with a bit of a throwback with “Would You Rather,” each of the boys have come up with a few WYR’s for each other. A mixed bag with the quality of some of these WYR’s as Sen clearly thought of his whilst on the toilet whereas Ro’s just straight up didn’t make sense.

Ben 10 Gets Divorced

Wed, 03 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We start this week with a public service announcement for our live show on Saturday - DOORS OPEN 7PM AND SHOW WILL START 7:30PM SHARP, DON’T BE LATE. Anyway after getting through the admin, Sen has some redactions from last week, Ro has a gnarly tale about a divorce, we berate Ro about his wrist monitor and we rate EY’s Nike Air Force collaboration.

“10 Question Challenge” is back as our game this week. Ro and Migs have each been given famous characters which they must guess. As the name of the game suggests, they only have 10 yes/no questions to ask to get to the answer.

For our last segment this week we are bringing back “Life Hacks.” This week we’re milking our Japan content again as we discuss hacks/tips we wish people had told us before we had gone to Japan. This is the stuff tik tok/reddit won’t tell you about.

Someone Is Actually Leaving?

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Few years ago we jokingly titled an episode "Someone is Leaving?" as we revealed Migs would be gone for a few months on exchange. Unfortunately this time there is no clickbait as Kush announces he is off to the US, taking his talents to San Francisco. Fear not however, Kush will still very much be involved in the podcast (unfortunately for him) and will hopefully make the odd appearance here and there (technology pending). He's not gone for a few more months so we'll get the most out of him between now and then, meaning max 2 more episode appearances from the big man.

Our game this week is "Family Fight" which is back after a long time. This is our very own low budget version of Family Feud, where the host Ro has the top 5 answers in a category and it's up to the rest of the boys to do their best to get it.

New segment to finish "Starting 5's" which is a little left field from us. Essentially in this segment we've each come up with our own Starting 5's (essentially a basketball team) from any category that would go undefeated in an NBA season.

Love On The Spectrum (Of Colours) (with Brenda In Business)

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Another huge episode this week featuring a very special guest - Brenda from DatingAppsSuck. Brenda is a trailblazer in the dating community after turning her back on dating apps and instead creating her own in person dating events. We discuss some of her experiences as well as the differences in dating in Sydney vs Melbourne before we dive into some dating red flags as sent in by our listeners.

As usual Brenda takes on Migs and Ro in the classic “Bullslut,” with some fairly targeted categories including countries in Asian and Asian last names.

For our final segment this week, we discuss “The Ethnic Experience” with a focus on dating as an ethnic. Our lovely listeners wrote in with some of their experiences and struggles and we discuss/comment on them, providing some of our own experiences where we can.

TCB Takes On Japan

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +1000

The boys have been in Japan over the last few weeks and are finally back from their trip and are filled to the brim with yarns. Before we dive in, we start with a massive thank you to everyone who purchased tickets to our sold out live show - apologies to those who missed out, we might have to do another show. The boys then jump into a recount of their trip focusing only on the lowlights (and there were quite a few) with some group shenanigans as well as some individual mishaps, all in all, a great trip.

Our game this week is “Urban Myth.” Miguel bought a board game from an Op Shop recently and this brilliant $1 purchase has provided us with 1,000 fact or fiction questions - so be prepared to hear this game quite a bit.

For our final segment this week, we pit Sydney vs Tokyo in “Head to Head.” Just when you thought the boys couldn’t talk any more about Japan, here they are to discuss these 2 great global cities across 5 main categories: food, transport, people, culture and nightlife.

Rohit Loves The Dong

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We have the full squadron of the fellas for this week (at least for most of the episode). Sen tells the boys about the untimely demise of the Bungalow saxophone man before Kush provides some updates on his beef with various companies, including an Indian booking company as well as potentially taking Dell to tribunal. Ro is also back from his holidays with yarns from Hong Kong and Vietnam, including rare units, women in night clubs as well as not being invited to an orgy.

Our game this week is the very creative “Guess the Cartoon Character.” Ro found a Youtube video featuring the voices of famous cartoon characters and it’s up to the boys to name the character based only on their voice.

For our final segment this week, we bring back “What Your _ Says About You.” As we did a few weeks ago, we have a number of categories we discuss in which we just rattle off the most number of stereotypes we can in the space of 30 minutes.

TCB Gets Spiritual

Wed, 29 May 2024 05:00:00 +1000

LIVE SHOW TIX: Critical Banter - LIVE - Stand Up Sydney

___________________________________________________________

The menace trio of Kush, Migs and Sen are back once again this week with Ro still MIA. Straight off the rip Kush brings our favourite type of yarn - a weirdo in a bathroom. This particular weirdo happened to be moaning and farting whilst peeing at the cubicle. Sen also has some yarns including being accosted by an older Sri Lankan couple while waiting in line as well as some new yarns via his physio. These stories delve into the spiritual side of life as we talk religion, sixth senses and gut feelings. We end with a review of the Cisco x Nike collaboration.

Buckle up we got a Kush game this week with “The Feud.” Kush presents the boys some popular unfinished Google search prompts. They must then guess the rest of the most popular prompts.

Would you look at that - it’s tier list time, with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” We’ve gone back to our roots this week as we rank some of the most popular Asian dishes, ranging from Bahn Mi to Ramen and everything in between.

The Unbeatable Texture (with Jacob from Thirsty Monkey)

Wed, 22 May 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Absolutely massive episode we got for you this week as we are joined by a very special guest. The king of acai himself, Jacob Najjar of Thirsty Monkey fame, joins us live in the studio. We discuss his successful Muay Thai career, opening up a gym, venturing into the world of cafes and acai and his grand vision for acai in Western Sydney. All in all, a super interesting chat with a very entertaining man.

As usual our game with our guest is “Bullslut,” as Jacob goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel. This week’s categories include Sydney suburbs, fruits, desserts and much more.

We end this week with a new segment, “TCB Tank.” This is our twist on Shark Tank, as each of the boys take turns pitching (fake) products to each other and Jacob. Ro has multiple ideas, one of which sounds like borderline human trafficking, Sen seems to be obsessed with posterior scratching and Miguel’s come up with a Black Mirroresque social trend app.

Our Most Pointless Episode

Wed, 15 May 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Huge episode this week as Ro is off galavanting through Asia, leaving the dastardly trio of Migs, Kush and Sen to steer the ship. Immediately we begin with smut as Miguel painfully recounts a story of his nether regions being shattered via a kick in soccer, all while being recognised by a group of teenage boys. Sen then dobs in Rohit for some truly strange behaviour, before revealing he may have stolen goods in his house. We end with rating Caesar’s Palace merch.

Our game this week is “Pointless,” which borrows its name and rules from the popular UK game show. Miguel asks Sen and Kush some questions with the aim of the game to get the least obvious answer.

We end this week with “Change My Mind.” Very simple, the lads each bring 3 ideologies they hold dear to their heart and challenge the other 2 to change their mind. We swing wild this week with Kush questioning the existence of the North Shore, Miguel complains about Sydney’s herd mentality and Sen takes aim at Museum and St James stations - real hard hitting stuff.

Ro Gets Rizzed

Wed, 08 May 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week for TCB and for Kush especially as he finally gets his first W against a corporation. Kush recounts in detail his year long battle with a large Sydney music store which came to a tantalising conclusion last week. The other boys then bring some yarns of their time playing 2 Up on Anzac Day, including a rivalry with a fellow punter. We end with a review of the EY Converse collaboration.

Our game this week is “Scattergories.” Simply put, Miguel gives the boys a category and they go around naming as many things as they can within that category without falter until only one remains.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” To kick us off we have a few listener submissions with our favourite category of rare unit: the bathroom rare unit. Extra points as well to the listener for submitting them via voice notes. Rohit then reveals his own rare unit wherein he was rizzed and then scarred for life - quite the rollercoaster story.

The Undercover Nerd

Wed, 01 May 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We’ve called Kush back up from the reserves as all the boys are back on deck this week. We start with a tale of hubris as Ro foolishes tries to save a woman’s life only to be met with the least helpful 000 responder. Also this week, Sen’s in rehab for his foot and he brings yarns from his physio. This week it’s the tale of his physio trying to fake his way onto Beauty and the Geek.

It’s that time of the month again for yet another tier list with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” We’ve gone full blown nostalgia this week as we take a trip down memory lane as we rank the best cartoon shows from our childhood.

Kicking Back (with Kat Haddad)

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Wowee do we have an absolutely massive episode this week for you guys, featuring a very special guest. We’ve sent Kush to the bench to welcome one of Australia’s leading sports broadcasters - Kat Haddad. Kat has appeared on Optus Sport, SBS as well as a number of podcasts. We learn about Kat’s unorthodox journey to get to where she is today, her work during the Women’s World Cup, her thoughts on the NRL and much more.

As we normally do with our guests, our game this week is “Bullslut'' as Kat goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel. Can the lads finally get a win against a guest?

We end this week with an old classic segment, “Higher or Lower.” This week we’re putting head to head, iconic Australian sporting moments of the 21st century. From Cathy Freeman’s win at the 2000 Olympics to John Aloisi’s winning penalty to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, we cover it all.

The Art of Negotiation

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Plenty of yarns in this week’s episode and to start us off, Kush is back from his holiday and he brings tales from the Motherland. From negotiating with street merchants, to getting scammed and almost bribing police, Kush had the most quintessential Indian experience. Sen then remembers a story regarding one of his ex workmates before we continue our new series “Cop or Not.”

We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks the rest of the boys questions from the game with the first person to 10 points declared the winner.

Our final segment this week is “What Your _ Says About You.” You may have seen this trend online before but now it’s time for our take on it. We have a number of categories we discuss in which we just rattle off the most number of stereotypes we can in the space of 30 minutes.

Marta's Moving Mad

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Huge episode for you guys this week and we start with Ro asking the boys a philosophical question straight off the bat - as he asks them the last time they wasted $100. We then get another tantalising update in the Marta saga aka “the neighbour from Hell.” Finally we’re starting a new series this week called “Cop or Not,” where we rate your company’s merchandise.

Our game this week is the “10 Question Challenge.” Ro and Migs have each been given famous people which they must guess. As the name of the game suggests, they only have 10 yes/no questions to ask to get to the answer.

The final segment this week is “Secret Love” and we’re talking about things Sydneysiders secretly love but are too scared/proud to admit. Wide array of topics for this one ranging from Town Hall Maccas/KFC to Vivid and even City Rail. Some pretty hot takes here.

The Undefeated Carny

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Bit happening this week in the world of TCB. Ro begins with a discovery of a children’s YouTube channel with over a 100 million subscribers and the boys slowly realise they will never achieve anywhere near as much as this 8 year old has. Miguel has had a huge week as well as he brings some yarns from the Easter Show and the Ramadan Night Markets. Finally, Sen pledges that he will be in the Paddock for next year’s Australian F1 Grand Prix.

This week we were feeling adventurous so we decided to give “Bullslut'' another go. This week’s categories include naming vegetables, shops and junk food amongst others.

Our last segment this week is “Life Hacks.” In case the listeners didn’t know already, the boys love a good scheme or get rich quick idea, so we put the call out to the listeners. We discuss the listener submissions as well as some of our own life hacks.

Hand Onions

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Rather gnarly start to this week’s pod with a story about a cemetery straight off the rip. Sen tells a story he heard from a friend about his supernatural experience at a cemetery one night leading to a wider discussion on ghost stories. Ro then shares his own horror story of being accosted by 2 older gentlemen who were into some very nefarious activities.

Kush has graced the boys this week with his game “Hints.” The man has really outdone himself by concocting an absolute doozy of a game with the wheels falling off very quickly, leading to chaos and anarchy. I wish I could describe the game or what the rules are, but I truly still have no idea.

We end with an old TCB classic “Overrated/Underrated,” this time with props. We haven’t done this segment in a long time, but as per usual we put the call out to the listeners on instagram to let us know things they thought were overrated and things they thought were underrated for us to discuss.

Get Em Onside

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Got a full house this week with Kush back from his mysterious absence last week. Ro starts with a quick mind your manners featuring a friend who was given raw chicken not once, not twice but three times! Sen then dobs Ro in for inexplicably triple booking himself for one night - including booking an international flight.

The game this week is “Fact or Cap,” very straightforward as Sen gives the boys some common statements and they must decide if it’s true or false. Huge asterisk surrounding the winner of this week’s game.

For a second week in a row, we end with “Pet Peeves” this time for community sports. We asked the listeners to write in with their grievances but really this was just a venting session for the boys to get the demons off their chest.

Never Meet Your Heroes

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 05:00:00 +1000

We’re back with another red hot episode this week. Kush is currently MIA, presumably too busy worshipping his life size poster of Christopher Nolan at home. In other news, the boys discuss the world’s worst immersive experience - Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow. Ro then tells a tragic tale of his friend meeting his hero Wheatus, including some very suspect behaviour. Finally we end with our final frisbee update including a very interesting twist in the tale.

We play a new Tik Tok famous game this week called “Avoid Me". Straightforward premise, Miguel has prepared some prompts beforehand which he presents to Ro and Sen. They must then answer those prompts without giving the same answers Miguel had already prepared.

We end with “Pet Peeves” except with a twist! We’ve been getting a bit too negative about Sydney on the podcast so instead we asked you to write in with what you love about this great city. We got plenty of very good answers (and sarcastic ones) that we go through and discuss to see if we agree.

Anything's a Hobby!

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Another week and another new intro for this podcast. We’re currently going through an identity crisis so please let us know if this intro is better or worse - we desperately need some guidance. Anyway, to kick us off this week Sen has a tale as he attended a pretentious law networking event where he discovered former guest Rohan is now a D list celebrity at his firm. Also, Rohit comes to the boys with a question of morality before we debrief on our first (and last) ever season of frisbee.

We got a fun new game this week with, “Guess Who?” The boys have come prepared (for once) with some clues for famous people. The less clues you need to guess the person, the more points you get.

Would you look at that, it’s time for another tier list with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” Instead of tier listing tangible objects like clubs/restaurants or chocolate bars, we’ve now moved on to tier listing popular Gen Z hobbies.

The Alliance (with Jason Sangha)

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Wowee, an absolutely huge episode this week! We’ve binned Miguel off to make way for a very special guest - Sydney Thunder batsman and man with pretty decent bants, Australian cricketer Jason Sangha joins us. We get around Jason, learning about his journey to the highest level of cricket in this country as well as his experiences receiving death threats as a child, race based alliances and triple protection for his manhood - all round a pretty normal chat.

As per usual, the game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut'' as Jason goes head to head against Rohit and Kush. This week’s categories include naming dairy products, Australian Prime Ministers, Indian cities and more.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” Been a while since we’ve done this and this week all our rare units have been kindly dobbed in by our listeners as well as Jason bringing his own.

Sen's Hat Trick of L's

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

The boys are back and what a horror show of a week it has been for Sen as he recounts in depth the number of L’s he’s taken (virtually). 2 podcast L’s and an Oztag L is enough to drive any man insane. We also get an update regarding Kush’s computer where he stuck it to Dell and bravely told them no when asked to pay upwards of 4 figures to fix his computer. Instead he decided to give Dell far more money than that for a brand new computer - we guess it’s in god’s hands now.

New easy game this week “Guess the Top 5". Very simple premise, the boys are given a random topic and they must guess the top 5 - however some of these topics are incredibly subjective so who knows how these top 5’s were determined.

We end with “Is It Worth It?” where the boys discuss the pros and cons of a number of items and ultimately decide if it is indeed worth it. From Taylor Swift tickets, to RM Williams we discuss a wide range of purchases.

The Asian Century

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Another week and another full house here at TCB. We begin with a tale from a listener regarding yet another racist club, this time in Melbourne. As we’ve stated many times on this podcast, we are the voice of the people as we name and shame this night club. After we do our bit of community service, Rohit then regales us with a tale of a horrific bus trip into the city.

We try a new Tik Tok famous game this week with “Impostor". Very simple game, each round the boys are given a famous name except for one person who is the Impostor. They then use one word to describe the person and the Impostor must guess the person before the other 2 guess who the Impostor is.

We end with “Pet Peeves” where we asked our listeners to write in with their biggest pet peeves and gripes with being Asian. We go through some of the best responses as well as our own as we reminisce about being hit as kids, not being able to have fun 2 nights in a row, being compared to other kids and much more.

Miguel's Mystery Millions

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

The stars have aligned as all the boys are back for this week’s stacked episode. We begin this week with Sen proudly recounting a story of purchasing children’s tickets for the cricket only to be kicked out for another reason. Ro then spooks the boys with a tale of the most sophisticated scam we’ve heard of, which would honestly trick even the most technologically savvy person. We also discuss the Powerball $200m lottery and what we’d do if we won.

Due to popular demand and a broken housing market “The Price is Right” is back this week. This time we compare Sydney’s ridiculous housing market with similar houses from Melbourne and Brisbane.

The boys bring back the always popular “Bracket Challenge,” with this week the lads deciding what the ultimate corporate holiday is. From the ice capped mountains of the Himalayas to the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany, we discuss the most stereotypical holidays and what we’re sick of hearing about.

Brush With Fame

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Rohit is back this week and is immediately on the defensive after last week’s lampooning in his absence. He tries his best to explain his actions but ultimately he takes the L. We also get some yarns from the boys trip to the Australian Open last week including multiple run ins with Australian tennis royalty as well as an unethical life hack to watching some free tennis.

The game this week is “Guess the Person.” No reinventing the wheel here as the boys go head to head rattling off quick fire questions to each other in an effort to guess the individual the other is thinking.

Final segment this week is “Sicko Mode.” We’ve all chucked a sickie before, sometimes for real, sometimes for other nefarious reasons. We discuss the best ways to call in sick, the tactics and some of the worst excuses we’ve heard.

Ro's Sus Searches

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Same lineup as last week as Kush, Migs and Sen hold down the fort with Ro still MIA. To pay for his sins we torch Ro to high heaven behind his back, revealing his extremely rare and foolish behaviour. We doxx his strange Youtube search history, his attempted fraud on the podcast bank account and his incoherent replies through the podcast Instagram page.

After an eternity lost in the wilderness, “What is the Question?” makes a triumphant return. Once a staple segment of this podcast but recently has been tossed away. Bit of rust in this week’s answers as we once again prove we have one collective brain cell between us.

You already know what time of the month it is, that’s right “Compare and Contrast,” aka the Tier List segment, is back. After running out of Sydney institutions to rank and slander, this week we rank Australian/iconic chocolates, with poor old Cherry Ripe copping a shellacking.

Public Transport Trauma (with Neel Kolhatkar)

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +1000

My lord are we excited for this episode. Strap yourself in folks because we have an absolute doozy for you this week. Rohit is off in Melbourne trying to gain a wildcard entry for this year's Australian Open. In his stead we have a very special return guest (first time in person), friend of the show, comedian Neel Kolhatkar. We catch up with how Neel’s been over the past few years as we delve into his Australian tour, his beef with Hobart, filming a special and we end with a discussion on Jo Koy’s performance at the Golden Globes.

As per usual, the game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut” as Neel goes head to head with Miguel and Kush. You’d think after years of playing this game we’d be semi decent at it? Think again.

We end with “Pet Peeves” where we asked our listeners to write in with their biggest pet peeves and gripes with Sydney and wowee you guys had plenty. We go through some of the best responses as well as our own leading to tangents about driving in India, eshays in Hornsby, hooligans on buses and the Kings Cross rebrand.

Karl Marx To Replace David Warner? (with Rohan)

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +1000

Second episode of the year and we’re already down on troops, forcing us to bring in an emergency sub. We searched far and wide for our guest today as he makes his triumphant return to the pod, 237 episodes later. Our high school friend Rohan is back after 4.5 years and he brings with him a yarn about a very left wing cricket team he’s recently joined. We then ask for his expert legal opinion on a recent story we heard about our high school before we inevitably descend into swapping yarns from our time in school.

Our game this week is the “Inflation Game.” Quite a straightforward game, Rohit gives Miguel and Rohan a common item and they have to guess what the price of that item was back in 2010.

Final segment this week is “City Battles.” With Rohan recently moving to Melbourne from Sydney, what better time to pit Australia’s largest 2 cities head to head to finally decide which city reigns supreme (we all know the answer is Sydney).

New Year, New Intro

Wed, 03 Jan 2024 05:00:00 +1000

New Years is a time for many to sit down, set goals and make some positive changes for the year ahead. Here at Critical Banter, it is time for us to change our intro (which is still TBC). For the first episode of the year, we have lost Sen to his pending court trial, however Kush kicks us off with his ongoing battle with Dell and whether one man can take on an entire multibillion dollar multinational company.

Rohit details the trials and tribulations Sen faced in a recent Bad Santa, whilst all the boys are trying to save face after scathing (and probably true) words have been published regarding their lack of sportsmanship and spirit in Ultimate Frisbee.

New Year, Same Critical Banter sacking off the segment introduced in the Logue. We have ‘Guess the Language’ as the first game of the year, where Rohit has translated a phrase into multiple languages and Miguel & Kush have to quite simply have to guess the language.

To actually kick off the year, the boys run through some New Years Resolutions - their own and some listener submitted ones on “New Year, New Me”. We have a run through some ambitious ones, such as watching a movie a week, and some very vague and immeasurable ones, such as becoming a better hugger, and call out whether we thinking it is a New Years Resolution that will actually be stuck to.

The Christmas Special

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 05:00:00 +1000

It’s time this week for the annual TCB Christmas episode (2 days after Christmas). To get us in the festive mood, Kush begins by recounting his ongoing legal battle with Dell after his desktop bit the dust. We then hear about the lads' respective work Christmas parties, including Ro infiltrating the Atlassian party. We end with some sport chat where Ro politely enquired about another blokes weight.

As we usually do at this time of year, we play the “TCB Top 10,” where the boys are asked to guess some of the world’s (and Australia’s) top Google searches for 2023. As per, the boys do as horrendously as you imagine they would.

In yet another bait and switch that is fast becoming common for this podcast, we decide not to blind rank anything, instead we bring back the always faithful “Mind Your Manners.” For newer listeners this is the segment where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them - this week with a very Christmas theme.

Man vs Wild

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 05:00:00 +1000

After resolving our technical hiccup from last week (not yet resolved), we are back with a brand spanking new episode (recorded 2 weeks ago). We begin with a Sen yarn about love and war, featuring an engagement ring, a surprise engagement and pesky birds. We then brainstorm ideas of how to pull off the best surprise engagement that didn’t include using a flashmob at a uni. We discuss yet another pasting at frisbee before we look at EY’s office snacks.

Our game this week is a new one - “Incohearent.” Yep, we are literally playing a card game this week (also a tik tok filter) where we have to read seemingly nonsense words which turn out to be a well known phrase.

“Higher or Lower '' is back again this week for part 2. Listeners continued to send in details of their work Christmas parties, so we again have put them head to head against each other in a “winner stays on” tournament.

Trials and Tribulations of Frisbee

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We’re up to the final 4 episodes for 2023 and we start this week with a series of unfortunate events featuring Rohit and a certain ride sharing app. Migs and Sen then spin some yarns from their time at Post Malone’s concert in the mud. We finally get some mic’d up frisbee audio which should honestly be NSFW given what occurred. We also rant ad nauseam about the silly sport that is frisbee before we look at EY’s office snacks.

Our game this week is a new one - “Game of Lies.” Nifty little game that is all about mind games and deceit under the guise of a trivia game.

And of course we end with “Compare and Contrast,” aka the Tier List segment. We hope you’re not sick to death of these, cause we’re not even close to being done. After ranking bars, dinner spots and clubs, this week we rank Sydney food chains, including the all important battle of the charcoal chicken chains.

How Many Do You Do?

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We’re at the pointy end of the year where things begin to slow down, but not here at TCB, where our yarns only seem to get longer. Sen begins with a Marta (aka the neighbour from hell) update as we begin to devise a plan so dastardly, the only thing stopping us would be the law. Ro then provides the council with another edition of our famous bathroom rare units, this time Ro finds himself in the middle of a literal pissing contest. We also hear about the Ninan family’s loan sharking, we talk about the absurdity of Ultimate Frisbee and we finish with WooliesX office snacks.

Our game this week is a new one - “UK vs Aussie Slang.” Quite a literal game, Miguel gives the other 2 some UK slang terms and they must translate it back to Australian English. Over the next month we’ll be playing a new challenge where the loser of the challenge will have to buy a lucky listener a Christmas gift (gift will not arrive in time for Christmas).

“Higher or Lower” is back after an extended period out in the TCB segment wilderness. We asked the listeners to send in details of their work Christmas parties just for us to put them head to head against each other in a “winner stays on” tournament.

The Summer of L's

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The podcast is back to full capacity as the final member makes their triumphant return. Local deviant and village idiot, Rohit, is back after his month long jaunt across Europe. He’s filled to the brim with yarns and begins rattling them off with a series of L’s copped across that great continent. We also get a community sport update and we rate Amazon’s office snacks.

Our game this week is a new one - “Draw This.” Disgustingly simple game where the boys draw a famous movie/tv show title and the other must guess what it is. This podcast is becoming increasingly visual with each passing week.

We end this week with another new segment with “Blind Rankings.” As you may have seen on various other platforms, the premise is simple - one of the boys is given a category and they must rank things within that category, however they have no idea what the options are.

It's Frisbeein' Time

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We’re nearing silly season here on the podcast with Kush returning from his one week walkabout. We have plenty of admin up top full of apologies and shout outs before we get into some community sport updates including the frisbee resurgence and then we end with a look at Telstra’s office snacks.

Our first game this week is a new one which might be familiar to listeners - “Catchphrase.” Fun little game this one is as one person is given some beautiful noise cancelling headphones to wear (with heavy metal playing) and another person says a phrase to them and they must guess what the phrase is by just reading the other person’s lips.

We end this week with another game as we bring back “The Price is Right.” We recently looked at some of Sydney’s most rundown houses and given the RBA’s recent decision to hike rates again, Sen tests Miguel and Kush to see how in tune they are with the upper echelon of Sydney real estate.

Zhu Be or Not Zhu Be (with Henry Zhu)

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Ro and Kush are MIA so the boys call in the big guns to help out with Sydney comedian Henry Zhu stepping up to the plate. We get to know a bit about Henry including his trivia hosting, his start in comedy and his wonderful office. We also review the snacks at Liverpool Hospital.

The game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut” as Henry goes head to head with veteran Miguel. Bullslut is a game of bluffing and to be honest neither person was very good at it. Henry also becomes the first (of hopefully many) name on our guest leaderboard.

We end with “Pet Peeves” where we asked our listeners to write in with their biggest office pet peeves. We read out the best submissions as well as some of Henry’s to see if we agreed or not with them.

The Pursuit of Personality

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Absolutely jam packed episode for you this week and we begin with a triumphant Kushagra following his daring escape from Sanctuary Hotel. We have some yarns about the challenge, but you’ll have to wait for the full video to come out. Ro is currently galavanting in Europe and we get a quick update from him. Sen then rants about chopper gunners used on animals and the English national anthem. We get a community sport update and finally we look at PwC’s snack offering.

“Going Camping,” is back this week after a very long hiatus. Very simple game, each person is the camp master and sets the rule for what things can and can’t be brought. The others must figure out what the rule is by guessing various different things.

Finally we end with the “TCB Draft,” where like the NBA draft, we take turns picking our top 5 things to do outside of work. Once an activity has been chosen, the others may not choose that one, leading to some very questionable and rogue picks.

Bubble Tea Bomb

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week at TCB as Kush undertook his 24 hour challenge. Before that, Ro is full of yarns from his trip to Melbourne last week. He begins with a tale of a magical venue that doubles as both a succulent Chinese restaurant as well as being a fully fledged night club. Next he recounts his ordeal in voting in the referendum which includes being accosted while waiting in line. He then goes on a long winded unhinged rant about domestic flights which included comparing himself to a terrorist. So all pretty standard stuff for us. We also look at CBA’s snacks and have some community sport updates.

Ro and Sen are playing today’s game so obviously we’re playing a musical game. The boys famously don’t listen to music so in this week’s game - “Unscramble the Lyric,” they’re given famous music lyrics that have been through Google Translate a number of times into different languages and back to English and must guess the name of the song.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week for part 3. We’ve so far ranked Sydney bars and dinner spots, so naturally the next thing to rank is Sydney clubs. We touch on some old classics such as Carter and Bungalow but now we discuss other Sydney icons like Ivy, Argyle and Cliff Dive.

Almost Famous

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Different kind of episode this week, a rather self-indulgent one at that (if you couldn’t tell from the title alone). Ro is off in Melbourne this week, mourning the results of the Australian Referendum - speaking of which Kush and Sen ran into the most adamant of No voters out in the wild. Sen then apologies for absolute pelican behaviour during the week as he retells one of the stranger stories we’ve had on the podcast. Finally we have a community sport update and we rate KPMG’s office snacks.

We asked the listeners to dictate our episode this week and the overwhelming favourite game was of course “Bullslut” which is a game of tactics and trickery (or just vibes in Kush’s case). Apologies to all those sick individuals who wanted us to play “Finish the Lyric.” We’re playing for nothing this week, so we ended up having a very casual, low stakes game of Bullslut.

Finally to end this episode, #AskTCB is back as we asked the listeners to submit any questions to us to answer. We received a wide array of questions, from questions about the podcast itself, to our friendship to even our bowel movements. No #AskTCB is complete without somehow inevitably asking if we’d rather be in our mum or have our dad be in us - we love our listeners!

Durian Destruction

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Big episode this week with Kush nowhere to be seen still since the conclusion of the challenge. Nevertheless, the lads move on, Ro and Migs tell a tale from a party they attended last week which featured a rogue fruit and a threat of an explosion. Next Sen asks the boys for some petrol station etiquette. We also get an update on various social sports the boys are playing and we end with a review of Accenture’s office snacks.

With nothing on the line this week, our game is purely for pleasure as we bring back “The Price is Right.” Given Sydney’s ridiculous housing market, Sen tests Miguel and Ro to see how in tune they are with real estate property prices.

We end this week with the always reliable (except for a few weeks ago) “Would You Rather” - a segment that really put TCB on the map a few years back. We’ve got a mix of corporate and normal would you rather’s, including an absolutely outrageous claim from Ro and Migs.

West Sydney is Best Sydney

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Rohit kicks us off with some anti-establishment energy this week as he spends upwards of 5 mins bashing cops following a strange run in with the law. Sen then gives some unethical life tips regarding drink driving. Kushagra is also MIA this week fresh off his brave loss in the game challenge last week. In his absence we announce an update to the Maccas Challenge, as we reveal this challenge will be taking place at one of Sydney’s most derided venues - Sanctuary Hotel.

Here we are - the final week of the inaugural TCB game challenge and we are left with 2 people standing. Miguel vs Ro, winner takes all. In honour of our trivia escapades over the past month we take on our own version of “Pub Trivia,” with Migs and Ro squaring off. 20 questions to decide who is the winner. Who will come out on top?

The boys bring back the always popular “Bracket Challenge,” with this week the lads deciding what the greatest Sydney suburb is. From east to west, rags to riches, beach to banh mi, we pin some of Sydney’s most iconic suburbs head to head.

You Don't Turn Your Back On Family

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Another glorious week here at TCB, and of course some more audio issues, this week we lost our Would You Rather segment to the podcasting gods. Nevertheless we got some wicked yarns to kick us off as we went on an excursion during the week to Marrickville and the Factory Theatre to support the arts. We discuss our succulent Vietnamese meals before discussing the standup comedy we watched which contained a horrific bomb which leads to a chat about whether we could ever do a live show - truly one of the more aggressively self indulgent chats we’ve had. We then review Westpac’s office snacks.

We’re in the penultimate week of the game challenge with it all still to play for. The game is the “3 Second Challenge,” very simple name 3 things in a category in 5 seconds and this week it’s Kush vs Ro. With Sen AWOL, can Kush get an all important win and cut the lead to half a point and live to see another day in the challenge, or will it be all over red rover? Tune in to find out if Kush can win despite the spectre of Ronald McDonald looming large over him.

Our Dirty Little Secret

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are on a roll here and this week is yet another cracker. We begin with some Rohit yarns, firstly a rare moment on Sydney roads where all drivers show utmost respect to one another, culminating in a roundabout standoff. His next yarn is more of a flex really as he boasts about pre ordering the new premium iPhone, with his new credit card before his luxurious Europe trip. Tosser. Anyway, Sen then reveals the boys have been up to no good during the week and have been partaking in some nefarious business. The lads have become trivia regulars, making 2 appearances now in back to back weeks to flex their Simpsons and Harry Potter knowledge (and excellent Googling skills).

We’re in the home stretch now and it's become a dogfight between Kush and Sen. This week Ro brings us a game called “Meet and Greet.” Very simple game, to keep it as fair as possible, Ro asks the boys questions about Miguel and his life to test who knows their friend the best. Will the competition end this week or will this bitter feud roll into the next week?

After the overwhelming success of “Compare and Contrast” a few weeks back, it is back again this week as we once again debate and rank things. This time, keeping up with our theme a few weeks ago, we rank the best after work dinner spots from your Bar Luca to your Chinatown Noodle King.

Boys Just Wanna Get Glazed

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Another red hot episode this week as we begin with another update from the pesky downstairs neighbour. Sen’s workmate has given their blessing for the boys to approach Marta as they also seek external legal advice on the legalities of their plan. Ro then tells a tale of woe and misery and deadset blatant false advertising. The boys were desperate to get glazed and were unable to do so. Finally Miguel brings back a favourite topic of ours as we eulogise a once great institution of Sydney nightlife before we take yet another chance to take cheap shots at Carter.

With the games competition coming closer to the end, we bring back “Head’s Up” this week, which is basically just charades but with a phone on your forehead. It’s again Team Kush vs Team Migs as the boys run through a few categories including celebrities, historical figures, miscellaneous words, animals and countries.

Got a new segment this week with the peculiar sounding “Outrageous OOO.” In this segment we asked the listeners to send us the wildest out of office email messages they’ve seen and we read them out and react to them.

Manny Vs. Manny

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Plenty of admin up top to start the episode as we get some quick updates from previous yarns. Ro gives us an update about the money lent to his cleaners (must be nice): no money has been paid back. Sen gives an update on whether the boys can accost Marta, the horrible neighbour at her apartment: waiting to get confirmation. As we said, quick updates. Manny has a proper yarn for us as during the week he ran an errand for this podcast which saw him come face to face with his namesake. This is a story of confrontation, customer service and subterfuge and of course at the middle of it all is Kushagra and a reluctant Manny. Tune in to hear how Manny copped one of the all time great mugging off’s.

“Bullslut: Battle Royale” is back for our game this week. It’s Team Kush vs Team Ro again as the spectre of the Maccas Challenge looms large over the fellas. One of the all time great bullsluts as one team feels euphoria whilst the other feels agony.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things. This week we go local as we rank the best Sydney after work Friday drinks spots - from your Bungalows to your El Camino’s we have them all.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Compare and Contrast: Named in honour of our favourite HSC English essay questions, the boys debate the most pressing issues in society and attempt to agree on a ranked tier list, which may end up in broken friendships and definitely will end up being wrong.

Bullslut: Battle Royale: A more aggressive take on our traditional bullslut game where the boys now gang up on each other with no mercy.

The Sink Piss

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We are in record breaking territory as we have yet another week with a full house of the lads. Sen kicks us off this week with a riveting update from the annoying downstairs neighbour first mentioned a few weeks ago. Sen reads out the second letter in this intriguing tale and the boys toss up whether they should investigate this apartment block themselves and see if they can score an exclusive interview with Marta. Sen also wants to discuss one of the strangest products he has seen in his life and doesn’t get the reaction he expects from the boys.

Our game this week is new (and borrowed) with “Thousandaire Hot Seat.” Whilst there may not be an Eddie McGuire here, Manny McGuire takes over as quizmaster to ask the boys 20 general knowledge questions. The key is to be the one sitting in the hot seat for the 21st question, as they will be crowned the winner.

“Red Handed” is back and is the segment which is where we recount tales of times we’ve been caught at work doing anything but the work we were being paid to do. This week we have some listener submissions which include a sink bat, a sink piss, dyslexia, lunch theft, outsourcing work and stealing snacks.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Thousandaire Hot Seat: A game of general knowledge where the aim of the game is to be on the hot seat for the 21st question.

Red Handed: The boys discuss moments in their lives where they have been caught conducting activities which they are certainly not paid for.

No Questions Asked

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +1000

After last week’s calamity, we tested our audio not once, not twice but three times before we began. With everything in place, we begin with Ro posing an interesting hypothetical to the lads. We delve deep into the world of gambling addiction, who we’d give money to no questions asked and why Kush would not give any of the lads a single cent. Next up, Kush describes some equally disgusting behaviour he witnessed at a cinema before Ro and Miguel submit some other heinous cinema red flags.

We have a new game this week with “Who Am I?” The race for last between Kush and Sen is heating up as Ro hosts this week's game. Fairly simple game as he reads out a clue at a time with the boys able to jump in at any time to guess who the famous person is.

Finally we end with another new segment “Caught Offsite.” After patting ourselves on the back for coming up with a clever segment name, we eventually delve into embarrassing/horror stories from work offsites. Sen begins with a tale of buffoonery at a work Christmas party, Kush gets gluttonous, Ro witnesses adultery and Miguel almost hosted a rager.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Who Am I: The boys must guess a famous person, one clue at a time.

Caught Offsite: The lads discuss horror stories from work offsites.

The Grocery Merchant

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Our episode starts with an apology this week as our audio is completely scuffed throughout as well having to scrap our usual weekly wrap up segment. Luckily we were able to salvage the rest of the episode which contained the comeback of 2 classic segments.

We bring back “The Price is Right” this week as Miguel, Rohit and Kush are asked to guess the price of everyday grocery items from Woolworths to see if the boys truly are in touch with the common Australian.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include yet another bathroom menace, the intricacies of dating and child protection services.

Segments this week:

The Price is Right: Rules are simple - guess the price of items found at your local grocery store.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

The Eshay Epidemic

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Fresh off appearing in the AFR, Ro reveals how he was accosted at his local Mazda dealership by a podcast fan - have the boys finally reached a middling level of fame? Ro goes on to mention how he took advantage of this poor unassuming listener and took him for all he’s worth. If you are a TCB fan and you come across Ro in the wild, avoid at all costs! Kush then has his weekly “old man yells at cloud” moment as he takes aim at the ever growing number of eshay’s at his local shopping centre.

We asked our listeners to describe us in 3 words. We then were given those 3 words and were asked to guess who was being described - our game this week “PP.” Avalanche of responses this week which ranged from endearing to funny to just straight up abuse, with Kushagra receiving the bulk of the compliments and low blows, the highs and lows of podcasting.

New segment this week is “Heroes and Villains” which is just an excuse for the boys to celebrate good local businesses and shame businesses that they have personal gripes with. This week Sen reveals his obsession with GyG and their god tier breakfast burrito before he slanders Georgie Boys in Barangaroo to high heaven for their slipping standards. We also hear both pros and cons of a local Greek restaurant chain.

Also this week: Artarmon, Nike TN’s, Adlays, Red-pill and Zeus Street Greek.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

PP: We ask our listeners to describe us in 3 words and we have to guess who is being described.

Heroes and Villains: We shout out and tear down local establishments.

Urination Domination

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Like all good episodes, this week’s starts with an apology for last week’s shambolic audio quality. The lads then go into detail on the troubleshooting efforts that took place to ensure clean audio for this week. Kushagra takes centre stage to use this platform to condemn the state of Adidas (or Abibas) shoes which caused him much pain and discomfort - could be user error, the jury is still out on this one. To round us out this week, Ro and Migs finally get their article and photos published in the AFR, Ro gets cucked by Hyperkarting and Miguel explains what the hell a Pinkydoll is.

Our game this week is “Rage Cage,” however this version does not involve drinking or ping pong balls. Instead, the boys have a category and must name as many things within that category as fast as they can with no hesitation. The first person to falter with an answer loses the round and is mercilessly shot (with a nerf gun). In case being shot was not enough of an incentive, there is the small task of the forfeit come the end of the season. Points are at an all time premium with no one wanting to be the unlucky fella to do the Macca’s Challenge.

We have a new listener suggested segment this week with “Shiver Thoughts,” where we take a trip down memory lane to reveal embarrassing, cringe stories that make us shiver and shudder. Our first story is from the same listener who suggested the segment (duh) who tells us about a story from his childhood which involves a public bathroom and pooping, Kush then tells a story about fracturing his ankle while rizzing, Miguel tried to combine salt and pepper and Ro tells what will go down as an all time classic TCB story that needs to be heard to be believed.

Also this week: Tech Support, Dictator Dan, Leaning Tower of Pizza and Unco Rizz.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Rage Cage: A fast paced memory game where the first person to fail to name an item in the category gets shot.

Shiver Thoughts: A segment where we reminisce about cringe memories that make us shiver in the shower.

Barbenheimer Begins

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Shambolic start to this week as we reveal an ongoing saga behind the scenes regarding our bank account - we know, riveting stuff. Kush goes full Karen at some poor bank branch workers before donning the tin foil hat as everyone tries to steal his data. The FIFA Women’s World Cup is currently on in Australia (and New Zealand) and Miguel gives us his unfiltered opinion on the Matilda’s exhilarating 1-0 win over Ireland in their opening game.

We also bring back a fan favourite segment, “Bullslut” but with a twist this week in “Bullslut: Battle Royale.” Before we dive in, we finally reveal the forfeit for this season of games. In case you missed it, we have been tallying the scores of the games after every week and come the end of September, the loser will be doing the Maccas Challenge where they must sit in a McDonald’s for 24 hours, however for every burger they eat, an hour is taken off the clock. Anyway in “Bullslut: Battle Royale,” it’s Team Rohit and Miguel vs Team Kush and Sen and let’s just say it doesn’t end well for one team.

“Banter Reviews” is back after a long hiatus as we look at the global phenomenon that is Barbenheimer. We’ve tweaked the format of this segment slightly to make it more palatable - with an overall rating out of 10, rather than 5 different scores out of 8.

Also this week: Commonwealth Bank, Mexican Waves, the patriarchy and Mattel.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Bullslut: Battle Royale: A more aggressive take on our traditional bullslut game where the boys now gang up on each other with no mercy.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Matriarchal Rizzing and Shower Pissing

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Lots going on this week with the lads. Firstly Kushagra is nowhere to be found and is presumed to have joined the writer’s strike in the US. Meanwhile Ro and Migs have been busy this week doing side quests as they have been featured in a prestigious Australian publication (not Zoo magazine). According to the Australian Financial Review, Ro is now the unofficial godfather of Pickleball in Australia and has been influential in growing the sport in this fine nation, leading to an interview and photoshoot with the newspaper.

New game this week as we play “What’s it to ya?” Pretty simple game, one of the boys leaves the room and the other two think of something they both have. They call the other one back in and he must work out what the lads were thinking by only asking one question - “How’s yours?”

“Cuck or Be Cucked” is back this week with 2 listener submissions. First up is a story from over a decade ago meaning you know it’s gonna be good if the scars of this cucking are still fresh. This story has it all from chatting up a friend’s mum to marking your territory in their bathroom. Secondly we hear another tale from Rohan, a second in two weeks, this time around he is the victim. Somehow this story leads to a heartfelt discussion on getting scammed on Runescape.

Also this week: Modelling, Weekend AFR, the will to live and dragon scimitar’s.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

What’s it to ya?: A game of clues where the person “in” can only ask one question to guess what the others are thinking.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Raw-Dogging a Kebab

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +1000

WELCOME TO SEASON 3 OF CRITICAL BANTER!

Much like The Simpsons, Season 3 is set to be our biggest and best season yet as we debut our brand spanking new studio. The lads have treated themselves to the finest podcasting microphones on the market, 2 beautiful new couches, a robust shelf and of course a lovely rug to tie it all together. To celebrate this new space of ours, we bring back some loved segments but before we get into that we spin a magnificent yarn of a train crusader.

“Guess the Sound” is back this week after a triumphant first edition. This time we are in teams as Migs and Ro take on Kush and Sen with the added incentive of actual stakes to our games. The winners and losers of the games each will be tallied with a forfeit given to the ultimate loser at the end of the year.

“Red Handed” is also back and is the segment which is where we recount tales of times we’ve been caught at work doing anything but the work we were being paid to do. This week's tales include a listener submission from Jack, Rohit dobs himself in for some self indulgent behaviour and Miguel looks to clear up some misconceptions.

Also this week: Nerf guns, Bruce Wayne, scrum masters and workplace blackmailing.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Guess the Sound: The boys are played mystery sounds and they must guess what they are.

Red Handed: The boys discuss moments in their lives where they have been caught conducting activities which they are certainly not paid for.

Bad Neighbours (Taylor's Version)

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Back to full strength this week as Ro is back from exile and Kush has overcome the plague. Straight off the bat Kush is furious with Migs and Sen for using the new technology despite being strictly told not to do so - in their defence they’re baboons. Sen tells a yarn from his Friday night where a lonely Ro with nothing else better to do joins his work drinks event and attempts to pretend to be his coworker.

“This Week at Work” is back and is the segment where we regale any yarns from our workplaces. Like most workplaces around Australia last week, the boys discuss the painstaking effort people went to obtain Taylor Swift tickets and the precious work time that was sacrificed for it. Then we talk about conducting interviews, asking rogue questions to candidates, interview styles and even giving away some of our own secrets.

A new segment to end us this week with “Porking Your Neighbours,” where we discuss beef with our neighbours. Sen has a story regarding his workmate and their downstairs neighbour with superhuman hearing, before Miguel tells us about his mum’s confrontation with a low level council worker, Ro got ragdolled as a 12 year old and Kush’s dad shows no regard for a tree's life.

Also this week: gatecrashing, infidelity, spoon or fork, water nazi and Groundskeeper Willie.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

This Week at Work: We recount stories/events from our work and from the listeners workplace.

Porking Your Neighbours: A lovely segment about friendly neighbourhood disputes.

The Problem With Americans

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 05:00:00 +1000

As the famous saying goes: all roads lead to another Miguel and Sen duo spectacular. Ro is off in NZ and Kush doesn’t have covid for the third time, leaving the lads with autonomy for yet another week. After deciding against doing part 2 of Pokemon Smash or Pass and doing even more football content, this week the boys start light with some exchanging of lunch ideas in Sydney’s CBD. Then they get into the meat and potatoes of the week’s events as they discuss the Titan submersible incident as well as the great Reddit blackout of 2023.

Following the success of last week’s “Hood Talk,” it’s back again this week as Sen has more yarns to tell. We talk about the positives of Liverpool this time as well as tourist scams before Sen launches into his 3 overarching takeaways from Europe: European laziness, European rudeness/racism and annoying American tourists. We hear some yarns of racial stereotyping, beefing Italian shopkeepers and just in general loud Americans.

Also this week: GyG, Leonardo DiCaprio, Spez, Apollo, Anne Frank and remembering 9/11.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Hood Talk: A multi purpose segment featuring a myriad of stories.

From Dubai With Love

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 05:00:00 +1000

After a month of galavanting around Europe, Sen is back and is brimming with yarns. As is tradition, when one comes in, another pops out with Kush making way. To kick us off this week, however, is Rohit who brings two cautionary tales and some valuable life lessons with them. He begins with a review of his use of the website Temu and their too good to be true offers before he reveals he is in the market for buying a property in Dubai.

For our game this week we bring you “False or True,” a riveting game where the boys are pinned head to head to answer rapid fire true or false questions.

To round out the episode we have another new segment called “Hood Talk,” which will be used going forward to house any stray yarns we may have. For this edition Sen recounts some stories from his Europe trip including stories from Anfield, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Croatia.

Also this week: Aliexpress, Burj Khalifa, Anne Frank House and Skola.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

False or True: A simple game of true or false with an added dimension of time pressure.

Hood Talk: A multi purpose segment featuring a myriad of stories.

Tantalising Tarots & Thrilling Thievery

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Another week, another low attendance day at the Critical Banter podcast. Here for roll call are Miguel & Kush whilst the other 2 boys have gone everywhere but the podcast studio. Nevertheless, the show must go on with the cult favourite duo which kicks off with Kush's introduction to tarot card readings where he drops all preconceived slights he had against it in light of the favourable readings he received. We also hear a few yarns from the Sydney Film Festival, and the dross individuals & behaviours associated with it.

The only segment for the week is a banger - Mind Your Manners. As always, the boys recount stories of questionable social etiquette, judge what's happened and provide the appropriate behaviours & actions which should have occurred. On this week's edition, we hear a second hand story of downright stealing, ungrateful birthday etiquette and an absence of any resemblance of common courtesy and basic human decency.

Also this week: Psychics, @mrzorbasmith, AirPod Max Pros, blinding lights & Kathmandu Puffer Jackets.

Scammer Gets Scammed

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 05:00:00 +1000

With Sen's still in Europe doing [redacted], the Big 3 are once again back in the studio. This week's episode starts off with wedding fever, with every man and their dog getting engaged and/or married at this time of year. The boys dissect a few engagement posts they've seen on social media, and rank them as if they've got any right or qualification to judge other people's happy relationships. Rohit then reveals his beef with a local burger shop, and how he might get banned on DoorDash.

First segment this week is a new one, 'Guess the Celebrity', where the boys must guess the celebrity based on their voice, and their voice alone. This week, Rohit plays the boys a compilation of Actors & Actresses - a category which heavily favours one of the participants. We see Miguel & Kush's movie & TV show knowledge get exposed with some unexpected shouts at the end.

Last, but most certainly not least, we have the fan favourite "Dob in a Rare Unit" - the segment where we discuss some absolute specimens and/or their behaviours which we find strange, weird or just downright wrong. Miguel takes over this week as he tells two tales from hell form his recent trip to Europe, starting with a major public nuisance and ending with a severely minor but definitely rogue private nuisance.

Also this week: Robert Frost, burger & fries, Emma Watson, ABBA & unsolicited polaroids.

Return of the King

Wed, 31 May 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Running out of ideas, Rohit and Kush were minutes away from calling Dimitri Anatoli back from the gulag for this week's episode. However, they have been saved by the freezing & heavily jet-lagged Miguel who has returned from his semi-frequent galivants to Europe. We start this week's episode with Miguel dobbing in Rohit for being guilty of a very behaviour he lambasted last week. We then hear about Miguel's tales throughout Europe (slightly more exciting than the 30 minute tale about incorrect exam procedure from his last trip) - from AK47s to Chinese restaurants in Italy to alternate methods to ingesting nicotine.

After we hear from Miguel, we dive into the first segment of the week - 'Rapid Fire Trivia'. For this game, the boys must answer as many correct answers as they can in 60 seconds. The winner will determined by the total number of correct answers over three rounds. In this week's edition, Miguel and Kush's general knowledge gets exposed to such a degree that would undermine the Australian schooling system.

Our final segment of the week is 'Should They Be Charged?'. We run through some recent news stories and events and pose the question whether the person should have been charged, or should they have been allowed to play on. We question the boys' morality as they tackle tough societal issues such as capturing & killing an wild ibis, singlehandedly draining an entire dam for one's phone & opening the emergency exit of a plane for some much needed fresh air.

Also this week: Hypocrisy, snus, gelato vs ice cream, Venus, Ben Hur & bin chickens

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Rapid Fire Trivia: Answer as many questions as you can in 60 seconds. Most correct answers win

Should They Be Charged: We debate morality vs legality as we yarn through news stories and events and discuss whether they should be charged

The Book of Triple Cheese (TCB 1:1)

Wed, 24 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

The running theme continues as Miguel and Sen are absent. Perhaps this is an experiment from ChatGPT itself to see how far the boys can go without each other. Regardless, the show must go on with Rohit and Kush.

And to join the boys this week is (not you Dimitri) but Triple Cheese. The man, the myth, the legend. He arrives in scintillating fashion, brimming with yarns and tales, ones that are fiery with rebuttals of stories previously raised by Sen himself.

Before that, we get cracking with Ro who brings the heat with two of his favourite topics: substances and weddings. Kush finishes us off with an angry slander on a random man on a random train.

Bullslut returns with one thematic key match-up. The Critical Banter Podcast vs the Audience. Who wins? And who chose Kush to be the representative of the TCB?

Also this week: the casino, the origins of Triple Cheese, Sen is always late, and superheroes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Reach Around: The boys reach around with their special guest to learn more about them.

Bullslut: The boys engage in the age-old classic of naming items in a category in 30 seconds.

Let Them Cook

Wed, 17 May 2023 05:00:00 +1000

It’s happened again, Miguel in Europe, Kush on annual leave - Ro and Sen left to their own devices. That means this week is choc full of yarns. To kick us off Sen immediately dobs in Ro for his atrocious behaviour at Costco and IKEA. Then we get a recap of the lads trip up to Brisbane as well some other smaller stories.

Our only segment this week is a new one, “Red Handed” which is where we recount tales of times we’ve been caught at work doing anything but the work we were being paid to do. This week's tales include a Vodafone conspiracy, an Athletes Foot stitch up and delivery driving gone wrong.

Also this week: hand onions, Magic Round, Clash Royale, Saucony and petty theft.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Red Handed: The boys discuss moments in their lives where they have been caught conducting activities which they are certainly not paid for.

Someone Got Pepper Sprayed?

Wed, 10 May 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Kush has put in a marvellous shift the past few weeks and has earned a well deserved break as Rohit finally comes back. He begins with some clarifications from last week’s tale of his unfounded act of violence (all still completely true). Staying on the theme of violence, Ro also brings 2 other yarns - one of police brutality outside a Maccas and another of animal roadkill.

Another Tik Tok game this week with the “Wavelength Game,” as 2 of the boys give clues to the other by way of answering increasingly niche/unrelated questions to help them guess what number the other 2 are thinking of - very simple stuff.

The boys have truly embraced the future and technology and have latched onto the latest craze which has captivated the world by harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence to produce content for them. Much like most jobs and uni students, the boys asked ChatGPT to do their work for them and it has absolutely delivered.

Also this week: saving an orphan, George Street Maccas, lucky 7 and helicopter parents.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Wavelength Game: The boys try a popular Tik Tok game to see how well they know each other.

Allen Iverson Conversations: The boys prepare for the future and let AI take over the podcast.

One-Punch Man

Wed, 03 May 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The legendary duo of Miguel and Kush are once again joined by Sen (Ro still MIA). Kush kicks us off by revealing the Thomas Shelby alter-ego he has developed by wearing hats, before mentioning some other rare units at his office. There’s also some chat about the Snapchat AI before finally Sen launches into an epic war story featuring none other than our very own Ro.

After 2 long years, we bring back the age old game “2 Truths, 1 Lie,” - not to be confused with the classic video “2 Girls, 1 Cup.” Migs, Kush and Sen each take turns to give the other 2 a series of statements/facts/news headlines, of which one is fake. This week features an eclectic mix of both local and international references.

To end us this week we introduce a new recurring segment/series, “This Week at Work,” which as the name suggests where we regale any yarns from our workplaces or any tales from our listeners. To kick us off Kush tells us about his recent work party, Sen is locked in a cold war with table stealers and Miguel is being scammed.

Also this week: Ash Ketchum, eshay Frodo, Burj Khalifa, 7up and KFC.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

2 Truths, 1 Lie: The boys give the others 3 statements/facts, 2 which are true and 1 which is a lie. The others must work out which one is the lie.

This Week at Work: We recount stories/events from our work and from the listeners workplace.

Tinkle Tinkle Little Star

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +1000

One week on from the momentous 200th Episode, Ro and Sen have immediately gone walkabout leaving Migs and Kush to pick up the pieces and begin the next 200 episodes. After briefly pondering their whereabouts, Kush launches into a tale of almost confronting a group of eshay’s in a movie theatre. Migs then tells a story of hoodwink and deceit as Ro tried to gaslight a group of very confused Koreans.

Our new game this week is a simple one, “Guess the Sound.” As the name suggests, Miguel has gone out into the world this week to record mundane everyday sounds and it’s up to Kush to guess these sounds.

Finally this week, after a long absence in the wilderness, we bring back “Overrated or Underrated.” Another simple segment where the boys discuss whether something is overrated or underrated. This week they discuss an assortment of topics from lemon lime bitters to free food at work to Coachella and everything in between.

Also this week: Nike Phantoms, kbbq, hand cannon, Ramadan Night Markets and the Easter Show.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Guess the Sound: Miguel plays Kush some mystery sounds and he must guess what they are.

Overrated or Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

The Double Hundred

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We have finally made it - the big 200. The TCB boys raise the bat once again to celebrate this momentous milestone, the highly coveted double hundred. Strap in as the boys self indulge to the highest degree in our longest episode yet. To begin proceedings, Ro recounts his calamitous experience at an opera which can only be described as a series of unfortunate events (not related to Lemony Snicket). Sen then can’t help himself and mentions the Dalai Lama’s unfortunate week who’s only crime was giving a little boy a good time.

Our game this week is “Whomst Line Is It Anyway?” a fun guessing game where Sen presents the boys with a no context TCB quote taken anywhere from Episode 101 to 199 and the boys must guess who said the quote.

Finally to end this celebratory episode, #AskTCB is back as we asked the listeners to submit any questions to us to answer. We received a wide array of questions, from questions about the podcast itself including biggest blow ups and worst episodes to deeper more philosophical questions such as which animals should be nerfed, what the best Fortnite weapons are and are brown men at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to dating?

Also this week: Adama Traore, sucking tongues, silverback gorillas and Mukesh Ambani.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Whomst Line Is It Anyway?: The boys are given an old TCB quote with no context and must work out who said it.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Trainspotting with TCB

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The greatest duo of all time is now upgraded to the greatest trio of all time as Sen returns from his Melbourne trip, Rohit is still missing due to being photographed kissing the Dalai Lama.

We rate some iconic Sydney stations before heading interstate to rate a Melbourne station and finally we go international rating stations in the UK, USA and Canada.

The Greatest Duo Of All Time

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Momentous occasion for the podcast this week as we cross the final frontier - a duo episode featuring Miguel and Kushagra. The self proclaimed Fortnite GOAT duo step into the podcast studio for the first time together, being the last duo combination left. Who knows what nonsense these boys get up, but rest assured they won’t be playing Pokemon smash or pass. Miguel begins with a tale of greed and scoring a win against a Merivale establishment before Kush ponders the legitimacy of movie marketing and publication reviews.

The boys then play the always popular “Bracket Challenge,” with this week the lads deciding what the greatest duo of all time is. From real life duos, to fictional duos, food duos, functional duos to even the podcast host’s themselves - this bracket covers all duos in depth, in one of the most niche segments we have ever done.

Also this week: Battle Bus, Totti’s, New York Times Bestseller, Splash Brothers and Control C.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Bracket Challenge: Our bracket tournament style segment where 16 competitors battle it out to 1 eventual winner.

The Truth About Prime Hydration

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Huge week for TCB - not only are all the boys back but they are back with a little special something. To kick us off this week, the boys review 5 flavours of Prime Hydration, now available in Australian supermarkets (not sponsored). They taste each of the flavours and score them from 1 - 10 and then rank them in order from best to worst. We also dive into the nutritional value and science behind these drinks.

Fairly simple game this week with the “Antonym Game.” In this game, Sen gives the boys the title of a famous movie, tv show or song - however the twist is, the titles have been swapped with the opposite words and they must work out what the title is.

After a long stint on the bench, the always popular “TCB Debate” is back this week. In this new edition, Miguel pleads for Tik Tok not to be banned, Rohit rambles on about T.V shows and Kush takes on Chat GPT.

Also this week: Cough medicine, Gatorade, WAP and Parks and Rec.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Antonym Game: Simple game where the boys are given the titles of famous movies, tv shows or songs with the opposite meaning.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without interrupting.

The Peanut Butter Stand Off

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We start this week with a bombshell, with Kush currently MIA after being implicated in the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Then Ro confesses to a heinous act at his work on International Women’s Day, where he went from ally to sex pest in the matter of minutes as he desperately tried to gaslight his workmates. Sen also has some work yarns including a kitchen cold war and an alternative education institution in rural Victoria.

We’re back with another improv game - this week the “One Word Challenge.” As the name suggests the boys are given a scenario and must continue that scenario one word at a time going around in a circle.

Our final segment this week is inspired by the second greatest Nelson in the history of mankind - Nelson Mandela. In this segment we discuss the phenomena of the Mandela Effect and the boys test themselves on how well they remember famous pop culture references or if they have fallen victim to the Mandela Effect.

Also this week: Shlong or Shlort, Playertek vs Playermaker and Tomorrow When The War Began.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

One Word Challenge: An improv game where the boys complete a given scenario one word at a time.

Nelson Muntz: Named after the wrong Nelson, we discuss the Mandela effect in this segment.

Nothing Nowhere Never At All

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +1000

It’s that time of the month for all the Critical Banter boys to be present for an episode. Kush kicks us off, and in what’s quickly becoming a recurring gag, the man proceeds to immediately plug both his Instagram accounts. We reflect on his new niche of reviewing his experiences with people, revealing he will be reviewing one of the lads next. Ro then reveals something equally as startling as he tells the boys his gripping tale of laughing at death in the face at the beach. We end with the final instalment of the ongoing football saga including a bittersweet message from a former teammate.

After the overwhelming success of “Football Tic Tac Toe” a few weeks ago, it’s back but this time with an actor angle. In yet another modern twist on the classic game of tic tac toe, the boys must find actors who were common across 2 movies/tv shows before we play a version including hair colours and nationalities.

Our final segment this week is inspired by the state of Miguel’s finger in a segment called “Fractured Thoughts.” In this aptly named segment, we discuss times when the head noise becomes considerable and the demon's voices become so loud to the point where you almost let the intrusive thoughts win and you do something truly heinous.

Also this week: swimming parallel to the beach, Isla Fisher, right to bear arms and swerving on the other side of the road.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Actor Tic Tac Toe: The classic game of football Tic Tac Toe but with an actor twist.

Fractured Thoughts: We discuss times when we almost let the intrusive thoughts in our minds win.

Ro's Gambit

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week for the lads and here to recap it is Migs, Ro and Sen - Kush is out presumably with bird flu. We kick off with a recap of the TCB Chess Tournament which concluded over the weekend (spoiler: the winner was the only person who regularly plays chess). Massive thanks to everyone who participated and a special congrats to Jack who made the final and then proceeded to get embarrassed. Sen then provides another update to the neverending football saga before Ro reveals he’s discovered a new way to go around roundabouts.

Our game this week is another Tik Tok special with “Rapid Fire Guess Whom.” In this game the boys take turns to guess a random sportsperson in 30 seconds however they can only ask yes or no questions.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week, Sen recounts his encounter with random donnies at a wedding, Rohit dobs in a friend for their greedy actions and Migs witnessed some proper paranoid, tin foil hat behaviour at the supermarket.

Also this week: Magnus Ninan, Spencer Dinwiddie, flogging a dead horse and vibrating butt plugs.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Rapid Fire Guess Whom: Each person must guess a famous sportsperson but can only ask yes or no questions.

Dob in a Rare Unit: Are you a rare unit? Is your family full of rare units? Are your mates rare units? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a rare unit? If so, write into us and let us know the rarest thing they’ve done.

Wonky Words with Friends

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The revolving door at TCB continues this week as Sen taps out and Ro and Kush sub back in. This week Kush is full of yarns and brings forth an interesting conundrum - asking the lads if they would accept a sports-like contract over their normal work contracts, even going to the extreme of hypothesising a 10 year contract at Maccas for $2.5m.

Then we are back to regular programming as Kush gets in his weekly plug of his movie review Instagram (@mrzorbasmith). He then floats a new Black Mirroresque review series for his regular page (@kushyyk) where he intends to review people on the pleasantness of their company.

Our game this week is “Wonky Words,” as we play the game “Contexto.” This game is very similar to Geoguesser as there is a secret word and with each subsequent guess of the word the game provides you with an indication of how close/far you are from the secret word. Very simple concept, incredibly difficult game.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things. This week we go nostalgic as we rank the best iPod touch games - from seminal classics such as Doodle Jump to the incredibly niche Flappy Bird.

Also this week: Doobie smoking, Ro’s sweet release on his knees, quandaries and Cocaine Bear.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Wonky Words: We play the popular game “Contexto” - which is essentially a word guessing game.

Migs and Sen's Excellent Adventure

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 05:00:00 +1000

It’s happened again, Kush and Ro are MIA so Migs and Sen must soldier on with another football heavy episode. We kick off this week (pun intended) with Miguel recounting his Valentine’s Day plans which includes an infinite food glitch - use at your own peril. Sen then discusses getting blue balled by Julian Assange, doing a Rohit and then complains about yet another overrated Sydney institution.

As usual, with Kush and Ro nowhere to be seen, Migs and Sen revert back to doing football content with “Football Tic Tac Toe.” In this modern twist on the classic game of tic tac toe, the boys must find players which have played for both clubs in the relevant grids - the first person to line up 3 players in a row wins the game.

Our final segment this week is inspired by comments made a few weeks back regarding a nickname given to Sen’s cousin. In “Triple Cheese” we discuss the etiquette of creating a nickname, some backstories of our nicknames and some workplace nicknames you can use.

Also this week: Chef Mike, Uncle Ming’s, Nicolas Anelka and the Sensor Light.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Football Tic Tac Toe: The classic game of Tic Tac Toe but with a football twist.

Triple Cheese: A segment on the etiquette of nicknames and some of the best nicknames we’ve heard.

The Last Pussening

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 05:00:00 +1000

After last week’s opening segment was canned due to various violations of the Geneva Convention, Kush is back in person to oversee the other 3 monkey’s and ensure no other inhumane acts are performed on this podcast. To mark his return, Kush begins with a hypothetical review of his movie rating system, including potentially using his head as a scoring system. We then finally reveal an ongoing saga regarding our upcoming football season as we have been unceremoniously dumped from our previous team before ending with a final yarn of seeing Dave Chappelle live.

In another classic bait and switch, the game this week isn’t Gone Camping, instead it’s a new one - “Critical Categories,” which is our take on the seminal classic game of Scattergories.

We end this week with another new segment “Can I Borrow A Feeling?” where we discuss some of the more niche, underrated feelings in life - ranging from relieving oneself after holding in a long piss to the first drop of water after a massive night out.

Also this week: Ro smoking a doobie, Yondr pouches, Band 6 movie, Dragon Booster and Antonio Banderas.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Critical Categories: This game is all about speed as the boys must name as many items in a given category as fast as they can.

Can I Borrow A Feeling?: A segment where we discuss the most underrated feelings in the world.

The Censored Episode

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 05:00:00 +1000

The wheels have well and truly fallen off here at Critical Banter, as this week the boys record an opening segment so heinous and so horrific that Kush had to cut out 95% of what was said to save the careers of Migs, Ro and Sen. Not sure what got into the lads this week to trigger such a violent outburst, but nevertheless one day when we are famous enough, we’ll release the full uncensored version.

Anyway, we move and we got a new game this week as we play the “Alphabet Game.” As you may have seen on Tik Tok, in this simple improv game, the lads take turns saying a sentence to advance the story, except their sentence must start with the letter of the alphabet preceding the person before them. SImple game, therefore very difficult for us.

Another new segment this week with “Odd One Out,” as we reminisce and discuss odd/niche ways people consume food. Our test case for this week pertains to a friend of the show who revealed his truly startling (and disgusting) method of eating a block of chocolate.

Also this week: lots of slurs, Karens, triple cheese and the mandarin velociraptor.

Segments this week:

Alphabet Game: The boys try to complete a story, one sentence at a time, but each sentence must start with the next letter of the alphabet.

Odd One Out: We kink shame people for eating common food in weird and wonderful ways.

Rohatma Gandhi

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 05:00:00 +1000

We kick off this week straight off the bat with a controversial topic as Miguel (conscientious objector) reveals he worked on Australia Day, refusing to take leave. Even worse, he unintentionally had the gall to take the moral high ground over his coworkers who did in fact take the day off. We then discuss whether celebrating was allowed and if you were allowed to post an instagram story. Sen brings some yarns from his roadtrip which coincidentally happened during Australia Day (no celebrating occurred) which included tales of his friend taking multiple L’s.

New game this week as we play “Bingo or No Bingo.” In an interesting twist however, this game doesn't actually feature any sort of bingo, instead Ro chucks the boys a popular statement and they must deduce if it is indeed a fact (bingo) or an old wives’ tale (no bingo).

For the first time in 2023, we end with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, Rohit experiences colonialism first hand whilst in the air and Manny gets alpha’d by a small business owner.

Also this week: Changing the date, popcorn Chernobyl, mouth farts, and hunger strikes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Bingo or No Bingo: In this game the lads must decide if a statement is true or false.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

The Gone Identity: Part 2

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 05:00:00 +1000

They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, yet here we are 2 years later and once again Rohit has fallen victim to identity theft. It’s very rare for sequels to reach the lofty heights of the first one, but as we regale this week we can absolutely confirm this edition of Rohit’s misfortune is as good as the first time.

In a throwback, we bring back the classic “Would You Rather?” where the boys answer increasingly absurd and thought-provoking hypothetical questions leading to some heated discussions, with this week having a distinctly Sydney vibe to it.

We end this week with a new segment “Change My Mind,” where the lads put forth their strongly held beliefs to the others to see if their minds can be changed. This week we debate the best part of Sydney, influencer kid parents, beers amongst other topics.

Also this week: Nigerian Prince, Dominic Perrotet, Frangos and Australia Day.

Segments this week:

Would You Rather?: Boys discuss in depth between two very extreme alternatives.

Change My Mind: The boys present their stubborn/controversial opinions for their minds to be changed.

Fifty Shades of Ginger

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 05:00:00 +1000

By the grace of God all four members of TCB are reunited once again and have convened for a special pod recording. Sen is back from India after helping RRR with their campaign for an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film and with him brings culture shocks and rants. After spending some time on Indian roads and witnessing first hand the sheer lunacy that is driving in India, Sen now admits the stereotypes he has helped perpetuate in fact may be understated. Elsewhere, on his return journey home, Sen reveals his luggage to be missing for almost a week as he battles a large Australian airline.

“Stockholm Syndrome” is back for the first time in 2023 and this week we must acknowledge the dropping of the most anticipated book since probably the Bible. Hot off the press, the boys must decide if a given quote is taken from Prince Harry’s tell all memoir “Spare” or from E.L. James’ 2011 modern day classic “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

To bring us home this week is perhaps our most primal, potentially even darkest, and definitely most testosterone-filled segment “Animal Wars.” Animal Fighting Scenarios was a very popular Facebook page from a few years back and the boys have brought it back with their own twist. The result is Kush graphically describing, in detail, how he would incapacitate poultry in hand to hand combat.

Also this week: road rage, Jetstar, riding wild stallions and could Kush fight Mr 305?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and another unrelated category.

Animal Wars: The boys take their own spin on Animal Fighting Scenarios as they (hypothetically) discuss which animals they could beat in a fight.

The Snack Savant

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 05:00:00 +1000

Fresh out of China covid lockdown, Kushagra graces us with his presence for this second episode of 2023. Kushagra reveals a new instagram account focused on movie reviews which he’s been working on during his annual leave from the podcast. After flogging that for a bit, we then get our weekly Rohit first world problem - this week it’s tipping culture in Hawaii. Unfortunately, Ro did not appreciate the performative art the waiters had to put on to earn their tip, instead he would prefer they just earned a below minimum wage salary.

Our game this week is for our fellow degenerate gambling listeners with “Overs / Unders.” Pretty simple game, where the boys must figure out how many of a certain thing there is by determining if it is over or under an arbitrary number. In this edition the boys ponder Maccas stores in Australia, number of chips in a bag and how many beers they’ve had in their life amongst others.

Finally we end this week with some mathematics with “BODMAS.” By mathematics we of course mean a NCAA March Madness / FIFA World Cup Round of 16 inspired bracket tournament segment, where this week we put head to head the 16 most popular cuisines in the world.

Also this week: @Mr Zorba Smith, 18% service tip and what is Bulgarian food?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Overs / Unders: The boys are given a category and an arbitrary number and must guess if there are overs or unders on that number.

BODMAS: Our bracket tournament style segment where 16 competitors battle it out to 1 eventual winner.

New Year, Same Us

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 05:00:00 +1000

New year, same ol' Critical Banter. To kick off the year of the rabbit, the boys indulge in their New Years' resolutions which involve drunken stupors, Lego building and Spotify reviews. Rohit also tells a tale of how to ask your mum for relationship advice without asking your mum for relationship advice.

Back again in 2023 is the timeless classic 'Bullslut' - where we challenge each other to name as much of a certain category as we can within 30 seconds. This week's edition includes World Cup countries, colours & board games.

We cap off this week's episode with another classic segment 'Mind your Manners'. In this segment, we yarn about the do's and don't's of social ettiquette, and how to right those wrongs. Sen starts us off with discourse on how and when to pick up the bill, and leads into Rohit discussing paying for someone else's parking ticket, destroying clothing at the airport amongst many more.

Also this week: Critical Banter Live, hidden relationships, AFL teams and uncompromising greed.

2022 in Review

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Final week of the year, final episode of the Critical Banter Podcast for 2022. We end the year just as we started, Kush going MIA and missing the recording session alongside shameless self-indulgence from the rest of the boys. Sen recounts some tales of how he has been spotted in the wild by some of the listeners, and we gain some insight into Miguel's unfortunate addiction to lootboxes.

To wrap-up the year, we rank the months of 2022 in 'Year in Review'. Going from 12th to 1st, we take a look back at all the memorable pop culture, Australian, Global and personal events and milestones that have occurred throughout the year and see how each month stacks against each other.

For the final segment of the year, we introduce a new segment called 'Career Limiting Moves' where we chat through and judge whether a workplace behaviour, experience or incident will limit one's self in progressing at a given company or career as a whole. This week's edition involves unfortunate bathroom and webcam incidents, as well as blatant disregards for professionalism.

Also this week: Srikar, Queen Elizabeth, Will Smith, blocking exes & cupping your balls.

It's the Most TCB Time of the Year

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +1000

It’s officially the silly season here at TCB as we celebrate with our annual Christmas episode. To get us in the mood, Ro tells us about the light narcotics and gag glasses he gave to someone for secret santa - problem is however the gifts look cheap. We then hear about the lads' respective work Christmas parties (including a lot of complaining from Migs) as Sen gears up for his during the week.

After a long stint in the wilderness, a Christmas themed “What is the Question?” makes a triumphant return. Bit of rust in this week’s answers as we once again prove we have one collective brain cell between us.

To finish us off this week we bring back the “TCB Draft” - this week it’s holidays. Much like the Sydney suburb edition, there are some cracker picks as well as some completely left of field, rogue picks.

Also this week: Rave gear, Peroni is mid, Strip Clubs and International Women’s Day.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

What is the Question: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

TCB Draft: The boys give their top 5 draft picks based on a category where the others cannot select something that has been picked by one of the others.

Doobie Howser, Rizz M.D.

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We’ve heard your complaints and finally this week Ro joins Migs and Sen, however he can’t stop the boys from rambling about football for 30 minutes. Before that, Ro provides us with the much anticipated update from the dating consultant as he makes contact with God himself and seeks a quote. Sen then recounts his Saturday night which involved drinking, sleeping on an uncomfortable couch and excessive references to doobies.

For our game this week, we bring back the classic “Family Fight,” where the lads put their familial and ancestral reputation on the line. This week, the boys try and see if they are in touch with the common person as they guess the top global Google searches for 2022.

As the World Cup reaches its crescendo the boys convene for the final edition of “Predictions.” We again start with some apologies as we review our previous predictions for the Round of 16. We then look ahead and predict the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, Final and all important third place playoff.

Also this week: snake oil salesman, ganja, Chris Rock/Will Smith and the miracle in Marrakech.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Family Fight: The boys are pitted head to head to head, fighting for family pride and eternal glory. The boys are quizzed on opinions or expectations that were previously asked in a survey before the show to see how in touch they are with the common person.

Predictions: The boys look into the crystal ball and predict the outcome of the World Cup games.

Gatecrashing and Urinal Bashing

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +1000

In what is quickly becoming a reoccurring event, Migs and Sen are once again left on their own to steer the podcast ship home. Kush and Ro have had their Australian citizenship revoked after it was revealed they were secretly supporting Argentina against the Socceroos. Nevertheless the show must go on and we begin immediately with a tale of Sen being a buffoon in front of strangers. We then touch on Kanye being the worst human on the planet as well as complaints about the Australian National Anthem.

The World Cup has reached the knockout stages and the lads are here to preview the Round of 16 in “Predictions.” We start with some apologies as we review our previous predictions from 2 weeks ago and issue apologies where relevant. We then get into the meat and veg of the Round of 16 previewing each game and providing some predictions.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week we have the return of our favourite bathroom rare units, including an in depth discussion on how to use the urinal as well as some anti-vax rare units at the airport.

Also this week: Rufus, Alex Jones, God Save The King, Messi is washed and pocket toothbrushes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Predictions: The boys look into the crystal ball and predict the outcome of the World Cup games.

Dob in a Rare Unit: Are you a rare unit? Is your family full of rare units? Are your mates rare units? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a rare unit? If so, write into us and let us know the rarest thing they’ve done.

______________________________________________

God Mode

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week at TCB - we’ve gone to the top office in the land for help and the big dog Albo has come to our aid, reaching out to his Indonesian counterpart to negotiate the safe release of Ro from Bali’s Kerobokan Prison. Meanwhile, Sen is off on a plane to Qatar getting a last minute call up from Arnie to join the Socceroos squad as specialist drinks carrier. Speaking of Qatar, huge week for Kushagra as he reveals he has well and truly caught World Cup fever, as he applies his Pro Clubs knowledge to real life ball. We also hear about his struggles with a hand me down iPhone 7+, eating escargot before Ro explains what a dating consultant is.

“Stockholm Syndrome” is back and once again there is a twist. In this game we honour the biggest event of the year, one that has been anticipated for a number of years and is set in a distant Arab land - we are of course talking about Warzone 2. In this version of “Stockholm Syndrome,” Kush and Ro must guess between locations on the new Warzone 2 map or footballers at the World Cup.

“Heroes and Villains” is a new segment where we can freely slander people we know under the guise of labelling them ‘Heroes’ or ‘Villains.’ Simple premise: the boys discuss actions of individuals with questionable or ambiguous morals and they must decide whether they can be considered a hero or a villain. To kick us off, Kush submits himself for judgement, then throws the Coffee Constable under the bus, we also hear about Mig’s bad friend, before ending on Ro’s Triple Zero bandit of a housemate.

Also this week: Warzone, fashion consultants, Taraq, lox beats slander and the Darlinghurst Batman.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and another unrelated category.

Heroes and Villains: The boys discuss the morality and actions of dubious characters they come across in society.

World Cup Fever Episode 1: Qatar 2022 Preview

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +1000

It’s finally here - for the next month the world game elevates itself to universal levels and transcends the boundaries of sport and religion. Amidst all the controversy and naysaying, the tournament is still going ahead and here at Critical Banter we will bring you some additional content throughout the Cup.

Kush and Ro are moral objectors to Qatar and are missing this week but Migs and Sen have graciously accepted the Arab money and are here to preview the World Cup.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things. This week, sticking with our theme, we rank the biggest World Cups.

We end this week with some predictions and hot takes. The boys look into the crystal ball and throw out some outrageous takes as well as donning the tin foil hat as we veer into conspiracy territory.

Episode CLXXVIII: Covid Strikes Back

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The holy trinity are back this week with The Miguel, The Sen and The Holy Kundra all bringing great energy while unfortunately Rohit faces the death penalty in Bali for his heinous crimes - we of course wish him all the best.

We begin with some technical difficulties right off the bat with Kush immediately malfunctioning the Rodecaster. After we overcome the rogue recorder, Sen startles the boys with some shocking news before we end with yet another case of cancel culture prevalent in our society.

Our game this week is “Giga Guess.” In this suspiciously familiar game the boys take turns to give the others one word/three word/five word clues about a movie plot with the others trying to guess the movie in the least amount of words possible. Will we have a surprise winner today?

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, we have a listener submitted cuck which by god’s grace himself is an actual, by definition, cuck. The boys take their time to mull this over and celebrate receiving their first legitimate cuck (however carefully not celebrating the idea of adultery). We also get a second cuck from Sen based on their journey back home from Bali.

Also this week: Ninja, Plandemic, TrueGeordie, Deez and why Jetstar is a second rate airline.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Giga Guess: A movie guessing game where the boys are progressively given one word, three word and five word clues pertaining to a movie plot.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Schapelle's Redemption Arc

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +1000

After last week’s experimentation, all the boys are back in the same room at the same time to record this week’s episode - except for Rohit who is in a Bali prison currently awaiting trial for attempting to smuggle cannabis into the island.

Despite that hurdle, the boys continue as Sen and Migs bring yarns from their recent trip to Bali and then we begin our search for the one they call ShayLee.

Continuing with the jetsetting theme, the game this week is the “Currency Quiz.” Simple game really where Sen quizzes Kush and Mig’s knowledge on global currencies, with one of the boys proving to be a real Mr Worldwide.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios revolve around travelling, including plane etiquette and respecting foreign customs.

Also this week: Bogans, Rolex’s, Bribery, Mr 305 and clapping on planes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Currency Quiz: The boys are tested on currencies from around the world.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

TCB Goes Solo

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The boys have broken up. It's official. Somewhat. We go full Ari Aster, full Artic Monkey, full random circular green dots on a canvas, by channelling our indie creativeness. This episode you get to hear the most inner, contemplative, and emotional thoughts from the boys one by one. You heard that right. One. By. One.

Miguel begins with his incredible insight into the state of football, and perhaps why it may be suffering from a decline. Kush goes deep into this cinematic knowledge, making it clear that he is there to worsen your movie watching experience. Rohit goes as meta as Dan Harmon's writing circle, creating a podcast within a podcast. And lasty, Sen airs his thoughts in a brutally honest fashion.

Also this week: Fifa, Tom Cruise insurance, firing an employee, and Optus.

Shower Manifesto

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Full house this week for what will go down as a TCB classic. Kush kicks us off explaining his 2 week absence, revealing his ongoing evolution to becoming a real estate mogul. Kush Trump then provides his pearls of wisdom when it comes to entering the real estate market.

Sen then dobs himself and Migs in for prime pelican behaviour at a birthday party, which included Dreamworks characters, peer pressure, rising tension between Russia and Ukraine and an incident involving glass.

“Stockholm Syndrome” is back so soon, with a twist this week. Rohit has discovered his roommate, Isaac, has been writing literal shower thoughts in their shared bathroom and has been documenting them for a while. Rohit gives the boys some quotes and they must figure out if this quote is from a well-respected philosopher or if it’s from some blokes named Aristotle, Plato and Socrates.

“Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable” is back this week with two listener submissions. Our first listener ponders what secrets can be kept from your partner after he failed to disclose a large purchase from his girlfriend. Our second submission is around the etiquette of ejecting rowdy guests from a wedding.

Also this week: Lumbridge, Jack Frost, Marcel Marceau and Rolex’s.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and another unrelated category.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than some very single blokes.

Sydney's Best Suburbs (Controversial)

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Backstreet’s back this week and we start with an update from Sen. When he’s not sending threatening DM’s to celebrities on Instagram, he spends his time replying to wrong number texts. As a follow up to last week, Sen provides an update on his back and forth with a random number which sees another member of the podcast get involved - leading to an awkward love triangle.

We then celebrate Northern Mariana Islands brave 23-0 loss to the Socceroos U-17 in what can only be described as yet another example of atrocities against minorities committed by Australians.

We got another new improv game this week, “Yes, and.” Premise is quite simple, the boys are placed in a scenario and the only way to move forward in the game is by using sentences beginning with the phrase “yes, and.” You’d think we’d be getting better at these games the more we play them.

Finally we end with the “TCB Draft,” where like the NBA draft, we take turns picking our top 5 Sydney suburbs we would choose to start a new city with. Once a suburb has been chosen, the others may not choose that suburb, leading to some very questionable and rogue picks.

Also this week: Shay’Lee, American Samoa and the Tuscan Hills of Western Sydney.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Yes, and: Improv game where each scenario must be continued with a sentence starting with “Yes, and…”

TCB Draft: The boys give their top 5 draft picks based on a category where the others cannot select something that has been picked by one of the others.

Try Guys Try Adultery

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The ever revolving door of Critical Banter continues this week as Sen is back but Kush is out. Sen brings no yarns instead insists on talking about ejaculate trees. Migs and Ro trade tales of randomly meeting high school old boys where they divulged dark secrets of our high school, with Sen learning how to use the word “allegedly.”

Bit of a throwback this week as we bring back the game “Stockholm Syndrome.” This week the boys have to guess between chess world champions and FIFA players.

Continuing on with the chess theme, our final segment “Miami Cheat” is where we discuss and rate various cheating scandals from history - inspired by Magnus Carlsen and Ned Fulmer.

Also this week: Ultimate Team, anal beads, Paralympics and the GOAT Bill Clinton.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and NBA players.

Miami Cheat: With some big cheating scandals hitting the mainstream lately, the boys take a stroll down memory lane and rate some other great cheaters.

Migs & Ikes

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Sen continues to be MIA, most likely reeling from the impact of the loss of the Queen. It is rumoured that he fancied the colonisation that occurred, contrary to popular opinion.

The tenacious trio of Ro, Migs, and Kush first dissect Miguel's lineage and potentially an ancestor tree with names that are just "Miguel." We then return to the world of snack testing, this time from the Philippines where the boys froth sugary goodness.

We then move to the classic "Bullslut" - a game that Kush remains so successful in being hilariously terrible once more. We apologise to all listeners for Kush's apparent 30 seconds of silence each round.

An episode reeking of nostalgia, we return to "Dob in a Rare Unit" where we first break down a listener story involving an uncle. We then move onto walking a pet bird and end with a potentially dangerous yet German party enthusiast.

Also this week: Walking Pet Pigs, UK Cities, Bite Sized Treats, and ASMR.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Bullslut: Thought writing 3 essays in 2 hours was hard? Try naming 20 European countries in 30 seconds. This is the game where, in 30 seconds, the boys try to name as many things as they can - all within a category chosen by the host.

Dob in a Rare Unit: Are you a rare unit? Is your family full of rare units? Are your mates rare units? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a rare unit? If so, write into us and let us know the rarest thing they’ve done

Cancelling Adam Levine (with Tom Witcombe)

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 05:00:00 +1000

After last week's top tier episode with all four of the boys, we bet you thought there was no way to top it. But we have done it - we have absolutely done it. Comedian and friend of the show Tom Witcombe joins us again for this week's episode, replacing wannabe comedian and anti-hero of the podcast Sen.

Before we answer your questions with Tom, Rohit recaps the week by recounting his near-death experience involving wine, bikes and magpies - a tale so tall it should singlehandedly inspire a Royal Commission into the rules and regulations of the biking industry.

We have a new game this week "Kushinator" - surprisingly inspired by the game that saved us from the bores of high school Akinator. In this game, there will be a person, place or thing that the boys will have to guess within 20 questions. As per usual, the tempers flare as the boys challenge and critique each other's contentious questions & answers - leaving us to wonder if the boys are really friends at all.

Finally, saving the best until last, Tom Witcombe joins us for the fan favourite segment "#AskTCB". After we get some interesting updates from Tom on what he's been up to and what exciting things he has coming up, we delve into the questions you have sent in. We discuss all things cancelable - from primary schools to Adam Levine to carrying out mass genocide. Remember, you guys sent in these questions - not us.

Also this week: Helmets, Kevin Spacey, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, City2Surf and death row.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Kushinator: The boys have 20 questions to guess the mystery person, place or thing.

#AskTCB: We answer the questions you have sent in! If you want your questions answered on the next #AskTCB, send us your questions in the comments below or on Instagram!

Australians Rate American Snacks

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 05:00:00 +1000

By the grace of Allah, all 4 members of Critical Banter once again meet after a 2 month absence. Rohit recounts some yarns from his bucks party on the Gold Coast last weekend, which included excessive drinking, scantily clad bartenders, threats of going to strip clubs, gambling, golfing and beefing taxi drivers - all in all, a great weekend away.

Despite the week delay, the boys celebrate Kushagra’s triumphant return from the USA with the much anticipated “American Quiz.” Sen tests the lads knowledge on American geography, history and pop culture - are they smarter than the average American?

We teased it last week and here we are with “Snack Attack” where we put legendary American snacks head to head against Australian equivalents. We review American classics such as Funyuns, Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Pumpkin Spice Oreo, Taki’s amongst others. Should we review UK snacks next?

Also this week: Strippers, Top Golf, Vodka Redbulls, Empire State Building and Barr.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

American Quiz: The boys are tested on how well they know the USA.

Snack Attack: American snacks are supposedly the best in the world, so we put them head to head against their Australian counterparts.

Kushagra's All American Adventure

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Rollercoaster of emotions this week as we start on a sombre note with a minute silence for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, before almost immediately launching into a discussion whether it was too soon to make jokes about it and why on earth did the Premier League postpone their games over the weekend. Then it’s full steam ahead with over an hour of just yarns of Kush’s month long American holiday, including the highs, the lows and an aggressively long amount of time spent on the food he ate. Enjoy!

Law Abiding Citizen

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are back this week after a shaky performance last week. With the cobwebs out of the system, we start with Ro recounting a concerning story regarding underage smoking - when is citizen’s arrest an option? We also hear about the boys embarking on a boat party around Sydney Harbour.

We bring back the improv game “Fortunately Unfortunately” where each round has a scenario and the boys take turns advancing the story one sentence at a time, which must begin with fortunately or unfortunately in an alternating fashion. This week we have no Kush, which means the game is slightly more civil.

In another throwback, we bring back the classic “Would You Rather?” where the boys answer increasingly absurd and thought-provoking hypothetical questions leading to some confronting discussions.

Also this week: Hasbulla, Benjamin Button, Moby Disc, zoo’s and vomiting.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.\

Fortunately Unfortunately: In this game the boys are provided with a scenario and must further the story one sentence at a time, however they can only use sentences starting with fortunately or unfortunately.

Would You Rather?: Boys discuss in depth between two very extreme alternatives.

Superspread Those Cheeks

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are back after a 4 week break. Kush is off galavanting all 50 states of the USA, meaning we pre-recorded a whole heap of episodes before his leave of absence. In typical TCB fashion however, we miscalculated the number of episodes we needed to pre-record and thus the 3 wise men (Migs, Ro and Sen) once again lace up the boots.

Bit of rust in this episode, but we begin regardless with a riveting update to Ro’s intriguing dynamic with his downstairs Spanish neighbours, which includes the purchase of some coca-cola. We also retell the story of Rohit’s house party from a few weeks ago which led to some very unfortunate results.

We have a new game this week, courtesy of TikTok, called “The Connection Game,” where we see who has the best connection between the lads. The game is actually quite simple in theory - a word association game where the boys must keep saying words until they land on the same word, however in practice this proves to be too difficult for these chimps.

This may or may not be a new segment, but in “Is It Worth It?,” we discuss the value of events or objects. In this (maybe) first edition we discuss the Contender Experience at the Mayweather Gym in Las Vegas, amongst other musings regarding a certain individual’s Instagram as well as discussing Shaq’s recent visit to Sydney and other extracurricular’s surrounding him.

Also this week: Bankstown, nangs, Bellagio, Floyd Mayweather Senior and Kobe.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Connection Game: A word association game, similar to Codenames, where the boys have to keep naming words until they both reach the same word.

Is It Worth It?: Being the judgemental people we are, we discuss and decide whether certain things are worth their price tag.

The Undisputed GOAT of Fruit (Controversial)

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We begin this week with the most quintessential Critical Banter story imaginable, featuring a bathroom rare unit, dabbing your willy and an intelligent discourse about the seminal works of W H Auden. Following the tale of the urinal cretin, we discuss an impromptu mind your manners about requesting people to chip in for petrol, which may be fair enough given times are currently tough.

We bring back “Head’s Up” this week, which is basically just charades but with a phone on your forehead. The boys run through a few categories including celebrities, countries and food.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things. This week we really scrape the bottom of the barrel by tier listing some of the most popular fruits in the world. For once there seems to be unity amongst the boys as they come to an agreement on most the placings.

Also this week: Robert Frost, Dyson hand dryers, BeReal, Cyprus trees and Nietzsche.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Head’s Up: The boys play the timeless classic charades with a modern twist.

Compare and Contrast: Named in honour of our favourite HSC English essay questions, the boys debate the most pressing issues in society and attempt to agree on a ranked tier list, which may end up in broken friendships and definitely will end up being wrong.

Prime is Mid

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

No Kush or guest this week, but Miguel is back fresh from his trip to Melbourne (to watch some subpar football) and is filled to the brim with yarns. Unfortunately, most of these yarns are related to the act of stalking someone.

We hear the tale of an absolute warrior who camped outside a hotel for 3 hours, we also hear about tastefully following Hollywood and YouTube stars as well as a more sinister story of stalking a fiery Australian tennis player. We also hear about Ro’s last act of modern day chivalry which resulted in him courting a fair maiden.

Our new game this week is “Guess the Journey,” a rather niche football guessing game where Rohit gives the boys the list of clubs someone has played for and they must guess who the player is.

Finally, we bring back “Banter Reviews” and this week is a huge one. The boys have been waiting for this one for weeks as we finally review KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime and match it up against the heavyweights Gatorade and Powerade. We rate each drink based on a number of factors including price, taste, packaging, nutritional value and marketing.

Also this week: Casey Neistat, Nick Kyrgios, Tim Cahill and what flavour is red?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Guess the Journey: The boys must guess the football player based purely on the clubs they have played for.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

What's Wrong with Kim Jong? (with Dan Cawthorne)

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

This week we welcome back only our second repeat guest (says more about us really) - Sydney comedian Dan Cawthorne. However, before we reunite with Dan, Karan Kundra (Kush’s Karen alter ego) provides us with an update with his ongoing, albeit one-sided, feud with local Sydney Italian restaurant chain, Fratelli Fresh. After we entertain Karan for a bit, Ro then reveals the peculiar purchases and behaviours of his new Spanish downstairs neighbours.

Next up is our interview with Dan. We check in with how he’s going and what’s new since we last spoke 6 months ago before we launch into discussing the real hard hitting topics such as rogue dreams, what constitutes a sandwich and how much would it take for you to endorse a dictator.

Finally, we bring back “Bullslut” this week as Sen puts Kush, Ro and Dan head to head in this classic game. Kush has a tragically bad record in this game, having never won a single edition of this game. Today he plays for his pride, his family and his country - can he finally get a win over Ro and Dan?

Also this week: Blackmail, Walter White, dildo’s, tsunamis and Kim Jong Un.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Bullslut: Thought writing 3 essays in 2 hours was hard? Try naming 20 European countries in 30 seconds. This is the game where, in 30 seconds, the boys try to name as many things as they can - all within a category chosen by the host.

It's The Children Who Are Wrong

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Mig is MIA and the unlikely trio of Ro, Kush and Sen are once again tasked with carrying the podcast, something they haven’t had to do since late 2019. To kick us off, Sen comes loaded with tales fresh from attending his first concert post Covid.

We talk about wearing masks in a mosh pit, how many piercings are too many, face vs neck tattoos, sitting down at concerts and mild concussion in a mosh.

We try our hand at a new game this week with “Try Not to Laugh,” where the stakes are high - if you laugh, you get slapped and banished from the hot seat. The boys take turns to tell each other the driest, deadest jokes in an attempt to make them laugh.

The question is “Am I A Boomer” and the answer is maybe. In this segment, Sen has a revelation over the past few weeks that he is no longer hip and in tune with the young Gen Zers. We discuss obsolete technology from our youth as well as slang that goes over our heads.

Also this week: Bad Piercings, Dad Jokes, HaynePlane, HayneTrain and Viber.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Try Not to Laugh: This game is exactly as what’s advertised on the tin - if you laugh, you lose.

Am I A Boomer: The boys whinge about being out of touch with the younger generation.

The Drunk Donator

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 05:00:00 +1000

This week’s episode begins with a tale of catholic guilt. Rohit exposes his friend for an outrageous drunk quirk which involves donating copious amounts of money every time she got blackout drunk in an attempt to repent for sins.

Sen then exposes himself for his Tik Tok use and his religious obsession with Western Sydney teenage Tik Tok drama which entailed the respectful soliciting of nudes.

New game this week as we try our hand at another improv game - “Fortunately Unfortunately.” Pretty simple rules: each round has a scenario and the boys take turns advancing the story one sentence at a time, which must begin with fortunately or unfortunately in an alternating fashion.

Finally this week, in a classic bait and switch, we ditch “Answer Reddit” at the last minute to bring back “Most Likely To,” where the boys answer some classic who’s most likely to.

Also this week: World Vision, Tik Tok drama, Rohit’s rage and Kush’s abuse.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Most Likely To: The boys answer “Most Likely To” questions as we discover what the boys really think of each other.

Sydney’s Worst Italian

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 05:00:00 +1000

All the boys are back this week and we start with something that is quickly becoming our favourite pastime - slandering Sydney establishments.

This time Kush has a gripe with a popular Italian restaurant chain which refused to serve him pizza. Kush then goes full Karen, emailing the GM of this conglomerate. We also get another exciting chapter to Sen and Ro’s Oztag match fixing adventures.

Our game this week is “Role of the MVP.” In this current bear market environment whereby value investing far outperforms growth investing, it’s vital to know the value of the companies (and sporting teams) you invest in.

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, there is only one cuck and his name is Rohit. Ro is exposed for his hall of fame worthy, shambolic pub golf performance the night before, as he let himself down, his team down and his family down.

Also this week: Fratelli Fresh, Karan Kundra, Dallas Cowboys and chundering in driveways.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Role of the MVP: The boys are tested on their knowledge of valuable sports teams or companies.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

A Love Letter to Sony

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We begin this week with a world record update from Ro as the man claims to be sub 7 seconds. A date is also set for the world record attempt - late July, giving Ro 2 weeks to enter into an intensive camp to get into shape for the big event. Next up, Miguel airs yet another grievance, this time with Uber’s inferior competitor as he was left in a mexican stand-off with multiple drivers.

“TCB Top Ten” is back this week as Ro quizzes Sen and Mig’s knowledge on various top ten lists - this week we tackle tik tok stars, richest people, richest cities, highest grossing movies and most watched T.V. shows.

With the financial year 2022 done and dusted, the boys take some time to reflect on their purchases made during the year in “Fiscal Review.” With the tax man looming, we discuss some good purchases (oodie), bad purchases ($300 electric toothbrush), a niche discourse on holistic dentistry and an ode to Sony.

Also this week: DiDi, Carlos Slim, AC Milan, LUNA and net physics.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

TCB Top Ten: In this game, the boys are given various top ten lists and they must name as many of the top 10 as they can.

Fiscal Review: We look back at the past financial year and review some of the best and worst purchases we made.

Sticks and Stones

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Fresh out of quarantine (quite literally) Rohit joins us again live in the studio as Kush taps out. We hear about Ro’s past week in isolation, hearing about bizarre youtube tangents and early onset cabin fever.

Not only is this man covid-free, he is also now mullet-free and begins to describe the world’s worst haircut. Following last week’s “Mind Your Manners,” Mig’s has another similar moral dilemma for the boys to ponder.

“Going Camping,” is back this week, with Ro a first time player. The last time this was played the boys were terrible at it and now throwing Ro into the mix is a recipe for even more disaster.

Finally this week we take a moment to recognise the hard work that is being put in by a small subset of our Tik Tok audience. In this segment we read and respond to some of the best hate comments we’ve received in “Mean Comments.” These comments range from witty, to insulting, to abusive to just straight up racist and we read every single one out.

Also this week: TrackMania, Priceline, Magic Johnson and Indian IT call centres.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Going Camping: In this game, each person is the camp master and sets the rule for what things can and can’t be brought. The others must guess what the rule is by guessing various different things.

Mean Comments: Celebrities read Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel, we read racist comments from our Tik Tok. It’s basically the same thing.

Another One Bites The Dust!

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Kush is back, tell a friend. Robro another no show, off galavanting around New Zealand - or is he? With Kush gracing us with his presence for a second week in a row, we give old mate Ro a buzz to see what’s what and where he’s been and what he’s been up to.

For our game this week, the boys try their hand at the viral trend of “They are a 10 but…” This game is fairly simple as the boys are faced with a fictional person who is rated a 10, however this fictional person also comes with a negative trait, which can be as innocent as not knowing how to tie shoelaces or more sinister such as doing Fornite dances unironically.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include gatecrashing meetings, getting away without having to pay for items, coffee payments and over competitiveness.

Also this week: SARS-CoV-2, orange justice, zoom bombing, slide cancelling and our biggest moral dilemma yet.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

They are a 10 but…: The classic rating game but instead there is a twist where the fictional person has a negative trait and the boys must decide what the score comes down to.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Moustached Milk Man

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Big KK is back in the building this week and brings us a fresh walking story. Just when you thought Kush’s daily walks couldn’t get more exciting, this week he serves us up a thrilling tale featuring dark parks, phones and jumpscares.

Miguel cowardly went to Vivid during the week and recounts his horrific time and gives us a breakdown of the food purchased and finally we provide an update to last week’s party story.

“Fact or Cap” is back this week and this time Kush steps up to the batter’s plate. The man has previously claimed to be able to tell the difference between different milk brands based on taste alone - so of course we tested his claim. To make it even harder, we threw in a few non-dairy based milks as well (do they even count as milk?).

“Conspiracy Corner” makes a triumphant return after years in the Critical Banter wilderness. This week we discuss facial recognition technology, Drake and Jack Harlow’s weird link, football conspiracies and American candy stores.

Also this week: Guest Host Mr. Potato Head, litigation, A2 milk and how to money launder.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Fact or Cap: The boys talk a big game, now it’s time to put it to the test in a series of challenges to determine if it is indeed fact or cap.

Conspiracy Corner: As the Critical Banter name suggests, we encourage critical thought, so in this segment we deep dive into some of the most prominent conspiracy theories.

Sydney's Worst Venue

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

This week Ro has been replaced by the very thing he is obsessed with - Mr Potato Head. After dealing with virtual Ro/Mr Potato Head, the boys begin this week with slandering Sydney venues, including some institutions of our nightlife.

Sen begins with his grievances with a certain BYO Chinese establishment, before Miguel tees off on the real Establishment Bar and finally a bar so trash, it doesn’t even deserve to get named.

Our game this week is “Hard Trivia,” which is basically just trivia but the boys are aroused. Ignoring the boner situation, the boys partake in a trivia containing harder than normal question to once and for all decide who is the least stupidest out of the boys.

We end this week by continuing with the hard trend, with “Hard Questions.” Sen asks the boys some tough questions which are sure to split opinion and spark some debate - questions surrounding pineapples, peanut butter, coriander and more.

Also this week: Chinatown Noodle King, Minnesota and cilantro.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Hard Trivia: Every now and then the boys like to test each other and figure out if they are as dumb as they think they are.

Hard Questions: The boys are asked hard hitting questions to see if they hold any rogue opinions, contrary to popular sentiment.

Livid at Vivid

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

On this podcast we shoot for the stars and this week begins with Ro’s first steps to Guinness World Record glory. The man has gone out and purchased a Mr. Potato Head toy (out of his own pocket) and live on air he attempts his first construction of said toy. Join us over the next few weeks as he begins his hunt to the elusive sub 5 second time. We also hear a tale of buffoonery courtesy of Sen.

We introduce a new game this week called, “Head’s Up,” which is basically just charades but with a phone on your forehead. The boys run through a few categories including celebrities, countries and miscellaneous words, in a game which is quite competitive for once.

Finally this week, after a long absence, we bring back “Overrated/Underrated.” Sen again cancels winter, praises puffer jackets and rips into Vivid. Ro complains about food trucks and Migs has a gripe with tables at clubs.

Also this week: Mrs. Potato Head, Akshay Kumar, Luxembourg and North

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Head’s Up: The boys play the timeless classic charades with a modern twist.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

The Sauce Connoisseur

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We’re back with Pokemon Smash or Pass Round 2!! - is what we know you would all love, unfortunately Ro is back so normal programming resumes.

Ro gives us an update on his get rich quick scheme he mentioned a few weeks ago as well as an update on his Mr Potatohead world record attempt, with him attempting his first go live on air in a few weeks.

Sen then reveals some details about the sordid, shady dealings of Sydney’s underbelly, which of course is a reference to the bitter battle for chicken supremacy between El Jannah and Frangos.

Our game this week is new and something we’ve been thinking about for a while. In “Fact or Cap,” we will test the outrageous claims the boys have made over the years as well as other challenges we see fit. To kick us off, we have Ro, the barbeque sauce aficionado, take a blindfold test to guess the brands of various sauces.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week, Migs recounts his run in with some specimens at a Kid Laroi concert, Sen dobs in a third party rare unit with some questionable bedroom habits, we have a listener submission and of course a bathroom rare unit.

Also this week: Beem fraud, Chargrill Charlie’s, Bird Box and bin nutting.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Fact or Cap: The boys talk a big game, now it’s time to put it to the test in a series of challenges to determine if it is indeed fact or cap.

What Are You Doing Step-Bulbasaur?

Wed, 25 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Everyone has left us this week. No Ro, no Kush, no guest, no hope. Migs and Sen left scrambling to put together an episode, and wowee is this one a doozy. As usual, we start with some biting political satire, ripping apart the electoral process along the way. We then discuss NFT’s, like every other podcast, except this one is NBA trading card related which does somewhat interest the boys.

We get our first taste of this week’s insanity with “Pokemon Smash or Pass,” with the boys deciding if they would fornicate with cute animated animals or not. In reality, this should be a very simple answer, except the boys really delve deep into this, leading to very suss results.

Finally today, Migs and Sen get to do a segment they’ve been wanting to do for a long time, “Start, Bench, Sell.” This week, we dish out hot takes on football players and teams and even answer the age old question - Scholes, Lampard or Gerrard?

Also this week: democracy sausage, Ultimate Team, harden and who is the GOAT?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Pokemon Smash or Pass: A modern twist on the classic game Smash or Pass, but instead the boys rate Pokemon.

Start, Bench, Sell: Simple premise, you are given 3 players and you must decide to start one, bench one and sell one.

Australia’s Greatest Menace (with Tom Witcombe)

Wed, 18 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Another huge guest lined up this week as we welcome a stalwart of the Sydney comedy scene, Tom Witcombe. To kick us off this week, Rohit spends the first 10 minutes of the episode slandering his parents for no apparent reason. He then spends the next 10 minutes explaining his new get rich quick scheme, whilst arguing that it isn’t technically fraud.

We then reached around our guest Tom Witcombe. As usual to begin, Tom recounts a rare moment from his past, before we launch into tales of his early comedy career, including a national final. We also talk about his fighting expertise, his podcasting, as well as other random topics.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week, where we debate and rank various people/places/things, this week we rank Australia’s greatest menaces to society. From egg boy to Ivan Milat, we cover rogue Australians from every generation and by varying degrees of rogueness.

Also this week: Jimmy Choo Urban Hero, women’s sports, democracy manifest and Clive Palmer.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

151 Reasons Why

Wed, 11 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Milestone week here for the boys as we reach episode 151. Not many podcasts have made it to 151 and many will argue that we absolutely shouldn’t have, yet here we are. To celebrate, we start off with our usual yarns before we jump into an extended edition of #AskTCB, where we answer fan questions which includes a special guest appearance.

Thank you all for sticking with us for 151 episodes and here’s to 151 (and beyond) more!

Everybody Loves Novak (with Aleks Milinkovic)

Wed, 04 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We’ve gone back to back guests and this week we’ve got a huge one - we welcome Sydney comedian Aleks Milinkovic onto the podcast. Before we get around Aleks, Migs and Sen reminisce about their trip to the Lakemba Ramadan night markets, dropping absolute hot takes along the way.

Ro then tells the boys about his new obsession for the week, this time it’s getting himself into the Guiness Book of World Records.

We then reach around our guest Aleks, hearing about his rareness through street sign superstitions as well as an awkward run in with a legendary Australian comedian. We explore his Serbian upbringing, his strong sense of nationalism, a suss character from a play and a town planner with the same name.

“Questions Only” is back this week as we try to test Aleks’ (and the boy’s) improv skills. In case you forgot how this game works, the boys are placed in a scenario and the only way to move forward in the game is to ask questions.

There is added danger in the first round as well, with the loser forced to try a hot chilli spray with over 1.8 million scoville units - who will be the unlucky man?

Also this week: Deer Burgers, useless world records, Vageen and Satan's Spit.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Questions Only: The lads are placed in various random situations, and can only progress in the game by asking questions only.

Dating at First Sight (with Christina)

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Like Jesus last week, Kushagra rises following his battle with Swine Flu to join us. This time, however, it’s Rohit who’s missing as the man is in regional Australia, campaigning for One Nation ahead of the 2022 Federal Election. In his place, we have found a certified love expert, Christina, who is here to help our listeners and answer any questions they have regarding relationships.

“Finish the Lyric'' rears its ugly head once again in its annual contractually obliged appearance. Luckily, resident music connoisseurs Kush and Sen are on hand to absolutely smash this game out of the park!

Finally, the much anticipated expert edition of “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable.” After listening to 4 idiots provide their unfounded opinions on relationships for the past few years, we have listened and brought in someone who actually knows what they’re talking about - Christina. With Christina’s help, we tackle some listener submitted questions and conundrums.

Also this week: Astrology girls, pushin p and Coachella

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than some very single blokes.

Victory Royale

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Moderately sized episode this week with Kushagra out with a mysterious illness that looks and sounds like Covid but isn’t, whilst Ro and Sen are back from galavanting around Melbourne and are full of yarns. This week is all about comebacks from Jesus to Ro’s magnificent display at the casino, we have it all.

This episode was recorded on Good Friday and to commemorate this auspicious day, Sen quizzes the resident Christians Ro and Migs on their Easter knowledge with the “Easter Quiz.”

“AnswerReddit” is back this week after a long hiatus. We take an interesting twist on the segment as we instead read and comment on posts from r/AITA as we discuss if anonymous redditors are assholes or not.

Also this week: Electric scooters, friendly offers at the club and the price of silver.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Easter Quiz: To celebrate the second coming of Christ, the boys are quizzed on their Easter knowledge.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit and provide your own answers!

Karma Sutra for Kids

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The full crew is back for a second week in a row for the first time in an eternity. The boys have plenty of yarns to start us off this week, including a story of one of the boys showing disrespect to a waiter at a bar, the boys then copping abuse from a homeless man and finally one of the lads being floored by the price of a takeaway bacon and egg roll vs the dine-in price.

We have a new game this week, the “Fake Name Game,” where we finally utilise the beautiful Rodecaster to its full capabilities. In what is essentially a prank calling segment, Ro and Sen take turns prank calling people whilst trying to name drop as many silly fake names the other has provided, without being hung up on.

After a long hiatus, the always popular “TCB Debate” is back this week. This week’s debate topics see Ro reciting poetry, Miguel barks like a dog and Kush breaks down the number 5 before someone gets unceremoniously slapped.

Also this week: Absinthe, Seto Kaiba, Methusaleh Honeysuckle and Will Smith.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Fake Name Game: The boys must make a prank call while name dropping incredibly silly fake names without getting hung up on.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

Ro(sa) Parks

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

By Allah's grace, in time for Ramadan, Rohit has found his way home and he finally joins us this week. Turns out he was not in the wilderness, he was on a massive bender after winning his cricket grand final - days after losing the oztag grand final in embarrassing fashion. Rollercoaster of emotions for this man. Sen also provides his own update of the battle with his toilet at work which someone had showered in faeces.

We bring back the game “Higher or Lower” this week. The premise is quite simple, the boys are given 2 social media accounts and have to decide if one has higher or lower the amount of followers than the other account. This week the boys are tested on Instagram followers, Twitter followers and Spotify followers.

Finally, we end this week with another old segment “Change My Mind,” where the boys defend their most outrageous and controversial opinions. This week the boys debate the price of convenience, the price of public transport and the loss of civil liberties on crowded buses.

Also this week: poop Mt Everest, Queen B, Bill Gates and being treated like cattle.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Higher or Lower: This is a simple game where the boys have to guess if a certain social media account has more or less followers than another.

Change My Mind: It's no secret that the boys have some controversial views, in this segment they defend their most controversial views.

Batting Off with the Boys

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1000

No guest this week, but a massive episode regardless. Kush has graced us once again, sort of a guest if you really think about it, but Rohit is still a no show. After last week’s disgraceful Oztag performance and final, Rohit has disappeared off the face of the planet and has not returned a single call or message.

We cannot stress this enough, if you see this man please do not go near him, just contact the authorities immediately - we are worried about his well being (maybe). Anyway, in other riveting news, Sen recounts catching a bus, so a slow week overall.

Our new game this week is “Going Camping,” a cross between a brain teaser and word association game. The lads famously only having a few brain cells between them, obviously struggle as the wheels fall off fairly quickly.

Finally, we bring back “Banter Reviews.” This week as the boys logically pit Robert Pattison’s “The Batman,” head to head with Wuhan’s Bat Man (the bloke that ate the bat (allegedly)). As per usual, we judge both bats on a number of metrics including: virality, transport, Twilight, sequel and redemption.

Also this week: Icks, public health orders, Fortnite, Batmobile and bat nipples.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

How I Met Your Miley (with Chillzy)

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We’ve got a massive episode this week, jam packed with brilliant yarns and great zingers with our guest and friend of the show, Chillzy. We start with a solemn update on our match fixing saga, which ended quite poorly resulting in Rohit’s disappearance - we truly hope to see him again one day.

Regardless of Ro’s houdini act, the show must go on and we’ve got a great guest to replace him. We reach around our guest Chillzy, enquiring about his op shop purchases, reminiscing about his Western Sydney upbringing, the rarest comedian in Australia, his double life as a pastor and life coach and of course the night he met (stalked) Miley Cyrus. Chillzy also generously provides Migs with a few DJ names, some of which have potential trademark lawsuit implications.

Finally, we bring back “Bullslut” this week as Sen puts Kush, Migs and Chillzy head to head in this classic game. Let the record show that Kush is an ambitious man, as time after time he aims for the stars and falls so very very far from them - so really this is between Migs and Chillzy.

Also this week: Karma, Grave robbing, Goku, Hannah Montana and The Silkiest Road.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Sleeping (with Stephen A Smith)

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Hot on the heels of last week’s cracker episode, we get another surprise this week as Kush makes his triumphant return. We reach around Kush finding out what he’s been up to, what movies he’s watched and how his PS5 is.

We then discuss Rohit’s curse as this man has a knack of asking unfortunate questions. If Ro asks how your significant other is going, you should run the other way.

“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things, this week with international borders opening up, we rank top tourist destinations. We take aim at some popular world class cities and Bali - we assume some Jimmies have been rustled.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week finance bros at the gym and listening to ESPN hot takes to help you sleep amongst other white noise.

Also this week: Beard vs Mo, how good is Tokyo and Stephen A Smith.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

WW3: Kogdog vs TCB (with Neel Kolhatkar)

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Holy crap boys and girls, do we have a huge episode for you this week. What we considered to be a lofty dream has now become a reality, teaching the boys to dream bigger. Anyway, the boys welcome YouTube superstar, stand-up comedy phenom and fellow podcaster Neel Kolhatkar onto the show.

We begin, however, with our usual dribble which includes an exciting update in Miguel’s DJ journey as well as a not so exciting update to Ro and Sen’s match fixing.

Next up is our interview with Neel. The boys have been fans of Neel’s for many years and they don’t waste any time getting down and dirty with him. We explore the nitty gritty of Neel’s career and life, including his humble beginnings on YouTube, being a viral superstar, his high school heyday, following non-traditional career paths as well as the origins of Kog Dog.

As we do with most of our guests, we end with the classic “What is the Question?” This time, Migs and Sen are pitted against Neel to see who is the ultimate comedian. In usual fashion however, the game gets derailed and we get sent down the garden path on a random tangent.

Also this week: Gatecrashing, brown tokenism, Kog Dog vs Rock Dog and the Tinder Swindler.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

What is the Question: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

Freeing Willy (with Max Dary)

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The boys welcome their first guest in the studio this week, Sydney comedian and DJ, Max Dary. This week’s episode however begins with another one of Ro’s strange gripes - this week it’s the amount of applause at musicals.

In an attempt to be cultural, Ro attends a musical during the week and is shocked by the number of applause each actor receives. Next we pivot to slandering Santorini and Greece before ending with a discussion on junk etiquette at the beach.

Next up is our interview with Max where we get to know him better including his rarest moments, his start in DJing, comedy and his new podcast with Dan as well his previous outrageous podcast ideas.

We bring back the “TCB Top Ten” this week as Ro quizzes Max and Mig’s knowledge on various top ten lists. Keeping up with the musical theme, this week we tackle the yearly Billboard Hot 100 from 2021 to 2000.

Also this week: Miss Saigon, clapping cheeks, number plate Wordle and Taio Cruz.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

TCB Top Ten: In this game, the boys are given various top ten lists and they must name as many of the top 10 as they can.

Cry Me A River

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1000

To kick off this week’s episode Sen and Rohit confess to the saddest thing they’ve done recently - match fixing amateur social oztag. If they win, their actions will be completely justified, right?

Anyway, after trying to rationalise their behaviour, Miguel provides us with a life update as he takes his first few steps to becoming the next Avicii, except alive (F). To help him on his journey, he enlists the listener's help in coming up with a DJ name.

We bring back “The Price is Right” this week as Rohit and Miguel are forced to guess the price of random items. This week, the boys are asked to guess the price of items off the Ukrainian version of Craigslist in the native Ukrainian Hryvnia.

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, we get a rather depressing listener submitted Valentine’s Day cucking as well as a cucking Miguel endured recently.

Also this week: Tanking, Without You, Animal Farm and Movie World.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Price is Right: Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist as close as they can..

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Coming Out (with Luke Kidgell)

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Another huge week as we have yet another massive guest, this week we have Melbourne comedian Luke Kidgell. We start the episode by welcoming back Sen from his one week sabbatical. The man is back from Queensland, where he did some soul searching and introspective meditation, and has come back the same man much to everyone’s annoyance. We get tales of the airplane and a random rant about handryers.

Next up is our interview with Luke, who begins with his rather rare eating behaviours. We then dive deep in Luke’s comedy career, his upcoming Australian tour, his humble beginnings, best/worst shows, his relationship with Lewis and of course the fog bit.

We’re back again with what is potentially the most haphazard edition of “What is the Question?” In this special edition, Sen and Luke face off to try and give the worst answers possible, much to Ro’s dismay. Everyone involved in this segment would like to unreservedly apologise.

Also this week: Dyson, the value of segregation and Eddie Redmayne.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

What is the Question: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

An Evening with Migs & Ro

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Intimate edition of the Critical Banter podcast this week, as Miguel & Rohit have been left to their own devices this week with Kush still under investigation & Sen MIA (whereabouts still unknown). However, the show must go on.

This week's date starts with Rohit revealing his second biggest addiction (behind a word that starts with 'P' and ends in 'orn') - Chess. In equally rare news, Miguel recounts his encounter with a man and his whip and how he was fearing for his life at his local park.

First segment of the week is the meticulously crafted and definitely not a last minute hack job 'Miguel & Rohit do Quizzes because Sen and Kush have left them'. In this long awaited segment, we find out together whether Rohit is a psychopath and if Miguel is a sex addict - questions which we already know the answers to.

We wrap up the episode with the classic and always popular #AskTCB. We answer the questions you guys have been dying to know the answers to - including our stances on Valentine's Day, the political tension in Ukraine & lunch etiquette in the workplace.

Also this week: Beating your Filipino colleagues, cheating on your partner, Starfishing, Invasion Day & career limiting moves.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Miguel & Rohit do Quizzes because Sen and Kush have left them: The segment where Miguel & Rohit do Quizzes because Sen and Kush have left them.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions. Send in your questions by messaging us on our socials or joining the TCB Appreciation Society.

What Happens in Engadine, Stays in Engadine (with Dan Cawthorne)

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1000

This week we have a very funny and incredibly tall guest, Sydney comedian Dan Cawthorne. Before we get to Dan, Ro begins with tales from a wedding he attended over the weekend, before Sen reveals an unethical life pro tip which can allow you to rort the NSW Government and RMS from rightfully claiming their fines. (TCB accepts no responsibility should you be caught trying to use this method.)

Next up is our interview with Dan. We thoroughly reach around Dan, exploring his beginnings in sketch comedy and stand up. We cover his friendship with Neel, the growth of their live show, what it’s like to do comedy from 2m up as well as his experience as a CFO.

The ever popular “What is the Question?” is back this week as we test Dan’s improv skills. Migs and Ro are put to the test up against a professional comedian, as predictability the answers descend into pedo related jokes.

Also this week: Mobile speed cameras, discount Frenchy, Epstein and Engadine Maccas.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

What is the Question: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

We Were Saying Boourns

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The episode this week begins with a tale as old as time. In honour of Nick Kyrgios’ fans sii’ng every point, Migs takes a trip down memory lane as he recounts a story where the podcast boys were in the same boat. In our high school days we too sii’d a group of performers only for it to be mistaken. We also read out our shameful PR apology for this mishap.

We got a new game this week, “Questions Only.” Premise is quite simple, the boys are placed in a scenario and the only way to move forward in the game is to ask questions. If they can’t think of a question fast enough, they are out but they are allowed one get out of jail free card.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include wedding gift etiquette, how to quit your job and how to gracefully accept Jesus in your life.

Also this week: Cristiano Ronaldo, family reunions, gift registries and pamphlets.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Questions Only: The lads are placed in various random situations, and can only progress in the game by asking questions only.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

We Got Covid

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Back again for 2022 and we begin with a massive revelation. The boys finally announce which one of us got covid and how they felt.

Ro then asks the boys about bathrooms as he recounts a recent battle he had with a bathroom.

We end as Sen gets another suss call from a scammer and we discuss the best ways to deal with scam calls and is it worth wasting their time.

We have a new game this week, “TCB Top Ten.” Sen quizzes Ro and Mig’s knowledge on various top ten lists - this week we tackle highest grossing movies, biggest football transfers, spotify streams and rich people.

Making a triumphant return this week is “Red Flag Redemption.” Last week was all about red flags, this week we discuss icks which is one rung down from red flags. As usual, we discuss our own icks before jumping into listener submitted icks.

Also this week: Birds, butterflies, Indian scammers, Thor Ragnarok and black jellybeans.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

TCB Top Ten: In this game, the boys are given various top ten lists and they must name as many of the top 10 as they can.

Red Flag Redemption: The boys dissect common red flags and discuss the validity of the toxicness, including some of their own red flags.

Serbian Fear

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are officially back in person for 2022! Straight off the bat there is a big reveal as one of the boys got Omicron over the Christmas break - but who was it? Rohit then proudly tells the boys he lived in a bus for a number of days which obviously resulted in confused looks from Miguel and Sen.

After discussing bus life, the boys also discuss Novak Djokovic’s legal battle with the Australian government which somehow leads to a discussion about being stabbed vs being shot.

Continuing with the theme of Novak Djokovic and the Australian Open, our game this week is “Stockholm Syndrome.” This week the boys have to guess between IKEA products and tennis players.

We have a new segment this week, “Red Flag Redemption.” Now arguably, all the lads on this podcast are walking red flags, therefore making us the best judges of red flags and supposed toxic traits. In this segment we discuss some of our own red flags as well as common red flags and decide if they are indeed worthy of being a red flag.

Also this week: Novax, Tiny Homes, Swedish Baltic islands and astrology girls.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and NBA players.

Red Flag Redemption: The boys dissect common red flags and discuss the validity of the toxicness, including some of their own red flags.

2021 In Review

Wed, 29 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The boys strap in for the final time of 2021 - this week’s episode is dedicated to reviewing the year that was. We seemingly end this year on a sombre note, with the grim spectre of Covid towering over us. Kush is absent this week as he is quarantining, meanwhile the other boys record in a socially distanced manner - mask and all.

We begin with Rohit’s holiday shenanigans as the man prepares to go to the most unvaxxed place in Australia. The boys then briefly run through their years and give us a rating for 2021.

Our game this week is the always trusty “News or Not.” A quick recap, Sen reads out some outrageous headlines from 2021 and Ro and Migs have to decide if these are real news stories or indeed fake news.

Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank various things, this week in keeping up with our theme, we rank the months of 2021. We go back through the archives, memory banks and camera roll and rank the months of the year on a scale of the Gregorian calendar to the Mayan calendar.

Also this week: Covid conundrums, Byron Bay, Florida Man, woke coke and Freedom Day.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

A Very TCB Christmas

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1000

It’s the most beautiful time of the year and the boys are full of festive joy and Christmas spirit. To get into the Christmas mood, join us for this Christmas/holiday extravaganza as we ramp up celebrations to everyone’s favourite time of the year.

We begin with the results of the boy’s digital detox, with results varying massively, but overall the boys are still down horrendously bad. We then hear of the boys' Christmas party stories, as the boys experienced parties of varying levels - fortunately there were no career limiting moves this year (except Kush came close).

This week’s game is the “Holiday Quiz,” as the lads are pitted head to head on their festive knowledge. Being an inclusive podcast, the questions are diverse in nature, covering topics like Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and Christmas themed movies and songs.

We end this week with “Dirty Little Santa,” which despite the deeply suggestive name has nothing to do with anything sexual. Instead in this segment we relive some of the worst Christmases in our past, which include terrible parties, even worse gifts and in Sen’s case just downright bad driving.

Also this week: $16 slushies, Zeus, Feliz Navidad, Hillsong and squid recipes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Holiday Quiz: The boys are tested on their knowledge of the festive season and all things Christmas.

Dirty Little Santa: We recount some of the worst Christmases we endured including stories and gifts.

Popcorn Violation

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Mr Kundra is back this week and he brings a tale of the movies. The man begins with a passionate recount of his trip to the cinema to watch Dune, a film he claims must only be watched on the big screen - anything less is a disservice to yourself and an insult to the filmmakers.

We then discuss our tech detox as we reveal our terrible screen time and finally set a time to actually try the tech detox. Long odds on all the lads actually making it through the detox.

Finally we discuss our New Year's Eve plans as we reveal we have a free house and an open invite to anyone to join us. Simple rules, you’ll sleep on the floor, don’t break anything, BYO and bring good vibes.

Our game this week is “Family Fight,” where the lads put their familial and ancestral reputation on the line. Much like the similarly named game, the boys are asked questions which were previously presented to the average Joe. This week, the boys try and see if they are in touch with the common human on a global scale as they guess the top Google searches for 2021.

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, Kush relives a traumatic experience featuring chilli cheese fries, popcorn, narcolepsy and a dark cinema. Miguel also shares his cuck story where he gets absolutely mugged off for no reason by a migrant worker. What this man does next will shock you.

Also this week: Denis Villeneuve, Spider-Man, Manchester United and dehumanisation.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

The Great 2021 Detox

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kush no bingo this week, rumour has it he is patient zero for Omicron. Alas we move and we begin with an update on Rohit’s roommate hunt, which has taken a strange turn. Why anyone would choose to live with Ro is beyond us. Next Sen tells us he’s got a new kid at work he is meant to be looking after. Sounds more like he’s bullying this kid more than anything.

Finally Miguel shares a revelation he’s come to during the week. Humanity has become too connected to social media and technology and here at Critical Banter we are going to take a stand. The buoys collectively decide to undertake a tech detox, ridding themselves of the evils of technology, somehow missing the irony of making this outlandish statement through a form of social media - podcasting.

As we banged on about in the logue, we live in the digital age, the tik tok generation, with shortened attention spans. Ad campaigns these days are short and snappy and mostly forgettable. This week's game, “Know Your Brand,” tests the boys' knowledge of classic Australian / international ads and brand slogans.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week we dob in some of our own rare units and we have one listener submitted rare donny. This week's rare units include climate change deniers, COVID deniers, gym apparel deniers and a workplace tugger.

Also this week: Facebook marketplace, burner phones, shrimp on the barbie and dessert cocaine.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Know Your Brand: The boys are tested on their knowledge of brand slogans and famous ad campaigns.

Dob in a Rare Unit: Are you a rare unit? Is your family full of rare units? Are your mates rare units? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a rare unit? If so, write to us and let us know the rarest thing they’ve done.

Boba's Your Uncle

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kush, Sen and Migs are in high spirits this week as Ro has gone walkabout and unfortunately misses this week. As the boys rejoice, we begin discussing office Christmas parties and how much you can really drink at these sorts of events.

Miguel then recounts his run-in with a rare individual on a night out. After seemingly being racially abused by a stranger, Miguel is then offered money as reparations by the very same individual.

Our “Black Friday Quiz” this week is a 2 parter. The first part revolves around the most famous Black Friday - Friday by Rebecca Black. After answering some questions about a song that came out 10 years ago, the boys then answer some “Price is Right” style questions featuring the weirdest Black Friday sales available on Amazon.

Finally we end with a new segment “D and S,” where we equip ourselves with chains and whips in the most sexually depraved segment yet. In layman's terms, we asked our listeners to give us their go to bubble tea (boba for the yanks) orders and we review and rate them based on taste, authenticity and whatever BS metrics we could think of.

Also this week: Tenpin bowling, yachts, hamster swings and oolong.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Black Friday Quiz: In honour of the yearly tradition of buying heavily discounted items, the boys partake in a quiz which tests their knowledge of this holiday.

D and S: The listeners SUBMIT their various orders and we DOMINATE them, which obviously means we rate and review them.

Rimjob Betrayal

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The boys are rattled this week as they try to recover from the most disrespectful slight they’ve ever encountered. Something foul is afoot (pun intended) as the boys unpack their weeks, beginning with an update on Ro’s moving out adventure.

Next Sen and Miguel recount what can only be described as one of the all-time great mugging offs - the boys were fuming.

Next we bring back the always popular “Bullslut,” with this week's edition featuring a wide range of topics such as fast food joints, muscles, NBA players, dog breeds and the Greek alphabet. Will Kush finally be good at this game? (spoilers: he’s not).

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include phone call etiquette, payment etiquette and free mattress etiquette.

Also this week: Feet pics, sigma, Steve Nash, glutes and frozen yoghurt.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

The Love Gurus

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1000

This week begins with a continuation of a discussion on last week’s episode - boomerangs. After Kush’s riveting rant, Ro announces he is looking to finally leave the Ninan estate. The boys then discuss what they look for when renting, which reveals some quirky living habits from the boys. There are discussions of toilets, cooktops and shower stools.

Our new game this week is “Family Fight,” where the lads put their familial and ancestral reputation on the line. The game works the same as another game with a similar name - the boys are asked questions which were previously presented to the average Joe. Which family will come out on top?

Finally this week is “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable,” where we give our expert opinion on relationship questions submitted by fans. Before we dive in, we begin with an exciting update about our favourite friend Harry - we are truly miracle workers. We then help some of our listeners including a high school romance gone wrong and a rather incestuous workplace.

Also this week: Boomers, shoeboxes, janitors and communists.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than four very single blokes.

Into The Metaverse

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Big episode this week which begins with a few apologies. Sen apologises for bailing on last week’s episode as well as not giving out a tip for the Melbourne Cup, costing one listener tens of dollars. We have our usual annual Melbourne Cup chat, before Sen recounts an impromptu cuck or be cucked tale during his Friday night out.

Lastly, from his week, Sen plays a voicemail he received during the week - 1 BBC coin if any listener can translate the message. Finally, to wrap up the logue, we end with an in depth, concerningly long discussion about feet pics and the nuances of the feet pic fetish.

To commemorate the MelBourne Cup, the boys played a simple game this week called “Fragrance or Foal.” Sen gives the boys a name and they must work out if it's the name of a perfume on sale at Chemist Warehouse or a previous winner of the Melbourne Cup.

Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank various things, this week we tier popular social media platforms.

We analyse various different platforms based on community, user interface and sheer nostalgia points. From Instagram to Chatroulette, we remember the good times and not so good times of using these platforms.

Also this week: #NupToTheCup, Eastern Bloc, Sweet and Sultry Pork and El Nigerio.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Fragrance or Foal: The boys are given a name and must decipher if its the name of a perfume or a Melbourne Cup winning horse.

Big Balls Bonanza

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1000

This week’s episode starts in familiar fashion, with an inordinately drawn out hypothetical that eventually leads to no actual conclusion. This week’s conundrum revolves around balls. The hypothetical gets increasingly convoluted as the story unravels resulting in the boys even being left confused by their own creation. Not to mention the fact that the word “ball” was mentioned more than 50 times in the space of 9 mins.

Finally, we end this week with another new segment “Change My Mind,” where the boys defend their most outrageous and controversial opinions. This week the boys debate microtransactions, the value of KBBQ, are McFlurry’s the GOAT and discussing the oral health benefits of brushing before or after eating.

Also this week: Ballception, pumps, nonces, Jim Carrey, 2K20 and Maccas.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Questions Only: The lads are placed in various random situations, and can only progress in the game by asking questions only.

Change My Mind: It's no secret that the boys have some controversial views, in this segment they defend their most controversial views.

Cocktober

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Absolutely huuuuuge week this one is. Firstly, we are back in person after a 4 month absence, and it feels great to be back. Next up, we debut our new studio, Rodecaster, neon sign and all - be sure to check us out on YouTube for the ultimate viewing experience.

Finally as well, given we are in late October, we dedicate this week’s episode to the ever growing tradition that is Halloween. To begin the Halloween extravaganza, Migs recounts his horror story from during the week before Ro tells us of his Halloween mishap.

The lads don’t know much about many things, so this week’s game is Halloween trivia. We take a stroll down memory lane, going back to the very origins of Halloween itself.

Finally, in classic Halloween tradition, we end the episode with “Scary Stories with Sen.” Sen kicks us off with a time honoured tale of spookiness and lust before Kush brings us home with a chilling tale of an experiment gone wrong.

Also this week: Mars, massages, Bram Stroker and Dimitri.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Halloween Trivia: The boys learn about the history of Halloween and answer some questions along the way.

Scary Stories with Sen: The boys share the scariest Halloween stories they’ve come across.

Goodbye and good riddance Lockdown 2k21. We have dreamt of this moment for months and here we finally are. We’ve changed this week’s episode up a bit as the vibes were most certainly on. Monday morning and our spirits were high as we were finally unleashed after 4 months of lockdown.

The boys have been out and about, just licking people left right and centre, all over Sydney which is why this week’s episode is just full of yarns - mostly Sen’s yarns. Nevertheless, tune in and listen as to how Kush, Sen, Migs and Ro spent their first week out of lockdown.

The Great Aussie Mullet

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1000

As of this recording NSW was on the cusp of freedom and just in time as well, lockdown has not treated the boys well. Regardless, whilst we can almost taste the freedom, the boys discuss their last few days in lockdown. Sen begins by revisiting Squid Game for the last time, before providing an update on his unwilling return to the office.

Ro then complains about the most mundane of things such as public transport before Migs throws out a call to the listeners on what his new haircut should be. Finally we end discussing some protests in New York as we discover Ro lives under a rock and Kush makes his Tik Tok debut.

Our game this week is “Celebrity Name Game.” Believe it or not, but Snoop Dog was not originally born Snoop Dog, neither was Eminem. This game tests the boys' knowledge of celebrity names and how well they know their original, given names. Given the lads barely know celebrities, this almost certainly can’t end well.

#AskTCB is back this week as we answer questions written by listeners. We cast the net far and wide over Instagram and the TCB Appreciation Society and sourced the best questions and answered them on this week's edition. This week we answer questions about biggest regrets, what happens after we die, streaming services and furry porn.

Also this week: Fat Ronaldo, Kayo Sports, Discord and Ligma.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Celebrity Name Game: The boys are given the government names of various celebrities and they have to guess what they are better known as.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Communist Calamari

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1000

NSW finally looks to escape this hellish facade, that is this lockdown and as such, this week Sen tells the boys that his firm is looking to head back to the office soon as we discuss sharing an office with unvaccinated people. This podcast is firmly pro-vaxx and looks down on people who are anti-vaxx.

We also discuss another firm who have been in the news this week for racist sketches and comments made by their HR department - you literally couldn’t make this stuff up.

Our game this week is “Madlib Madness.” Ro and Migs go head-to-head as they provide various nouns, adjectives and adverbs in an effort to come up with the funniest paragraph. This week we explore Owen Wilson, rune, Danny DeVito and Vince Vaughan.

Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank various things, this week we tier characters from the popular Netflix show, Squid Game.

The show features incredibly nuanced and flawed characters who could be analysed to the Nth degree - so of course instead, we allocated them to one of 5 tiers.

Also this week: PwC, bats, communism, Harry Potter and Big Brother.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Madlib Madness: The boys tackle some madlibs, and as expected, things turn debaucherous very quickly.

Dick Measuring Contest

Wed, 29 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

This week is all about the length. Before we measure sizes though, we start with a few confessions from Sen, Miguel and Kush (against his will). As we have said on this podcast before, the boys have been doing some pretty sad things this lockdown, but this confession may be the saddest.

Rohit then tries to figure out what his party trick should be after he learns of a party trick from a friend of his which is both outrageous and straight up illegal.

The game this week is “Higher or Lower.” The premise is quite simple, the boys are given 2 social media accounts and have to decide if one has higher or lower the amount of followers than the other account. This week the boys are left speechless by Vin Diesel, Demi Lovato and Baby Shark.

We have a new segment this week called “Not So Humble Brag.” In this segment we discuss the times we’ve been flexed on for no apparent reason. This week we discuss schlong length, buying an elusive PS5 and the goldmine that is LinkedIn.

Also this week: FIFA Points, juggling, Nike, Daddy Yankee and magnum dongs.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Higher or Lower: This is a simple game where the boys have to guess if a certain social media account has more or less followers than another.

Not So Humble Brag: We discuss and dissect some of the worst flexes and humble brags we’ve ever heard.

The 118th Episode Spectacular

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

This week’s episode is dedicated to the fans. Few weeks back we put a poll up on the TCB Appreciation Society, asking fans which segments they wanted to see. Many of you voted and this week we bring to you an episode as decided by the fans. Before we get into it, Sen has overcome his IT issues, potentially starting a race war in the process.

After 2 weeks in the wilderness, he comes back with a rant about hobby Instagram accounts and, in particular, dog Instagram accounts. Kush also revisits last week’s incident featuring Miguel and his TikTok’s as we will soon be bidding farewell to Miguel as he embarks on his TikTok solo journey.

Our game this week, as many of you wanted, is “Bullslut.” This week the boys are tested on their geographical skills, etymological skills, knowledge of holiday’s, culinary knowledge amongst other things. This is a game of intelligence, skill, bluffing and strategy - attributes none of us really have.

A concerning number of you also wanted an update on Kush's learner's license logbook on "Logbook Watch" so here it is. How many kilometres has Kushagra driven in the two years since we've done this segment? How many hours has Kushagra logged in the various lockdowns that has happened since? Tune in to find out.

By far the most popular segment choice is the ever reliable “TCB Debate.” This week’s debate topics see Rohit’s research extend only as far as Spotify, Miguel quotes his favourite artist and Kush makes a startling confession.

Also this week: day drinking, all spice, Uzbekistan, xylophones and Blade Runner.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Logbook Watch: Join us as we document Kushagra’s painstaking journey to attaining a drivers licence. Listen as Kushagra recounts every kilometre he drives across this vast, beautiful continent of ours. Be amazed as Kushagra takes us on this physical, metaphysical and spiritual journey, where he discovers foreign new places, interesting people and creates a lifetime of cherished memories.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

Donda = Overrated

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Another week, another episode. Despite Sen ghosting the boys for the second week straight and dodging 214 missed calls from Rohit alone, the show must go on.

As has been tradition on the podcast recently, this week's episode starts with a cowardly ambush to blind side Miguel. Kush, calmer in tone but more hurt in spirit, "exposes" Miguel for once again galivanting around with the very person he lambasted on the podcast for breaking lockdown rules.

The only thing of note to come of this overdone saga is Miguel's new TikTok career - with his first TikTok attracting over 2.5 million views (check it out at @miggybrahhh on TikTok). Will he leave the boys for a solo career or will he show them loyalty for once - stay tuned to find out!

The other update for the week is Rohit putting pet food to the (taste) test and seeing if its taste matches its humanised branding. The boys aren't sure what's more unsurprising - the results of this experiment or the fact that Rohit actually went out of his way to buy & prepare pet food for his own dinner.

The game for this week sees the return of Timeline Time Machine. Slight tweak this time round as the boys go through their old messages to each other and guess who sent it. A great idea in theory, however in reality, the boys were very, VERY careful with the messages they chose and there was some very questionable and highly cancelable language used back in the day.

To cap off the episode, Overrated/Underrated also makes a triumphant return. Without Sen to bring forth stupid ideas such as water being underrated, you'd think there would be a sense of normality.

Unfortunately, that was not the case as Rohit shows his age with his topics of live sport and stretching, whilst Miguel, in what can only be described as a move to further alienate himself from the audience, provides his hot takes on Cristiano Ronaldo and Kanye West's new album Donda.

Also this week: Jump scares, roast chicken, grafting, Othello, KSI & SIUUUUUU.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Timeline Time Machine: We take a trip down memory lane in this game as they boys try and guess their old social media posts.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Banter's Back

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

After what felt like an eternity of unfathomable trials and tribulations, The Critical Banter Podcast has returned from injury and has been put straight back into the starting line-up.

However, like all other world-class talents, they have been rushed back to action despite not being fully fit, with Sen still out nursing a dislocated router.

Nevertheless, with two whole weeks of content to cram into a single episode, the boys struggle to contain their excitement as they passionately recount their action-packed adventures of walking around their neighbourhood and shopping for salmon.

In typical Critical Banter fashion, Kush's story concludes with accusations of heinous acts involving minors as well as Rohit unable to get through a episode without displaying his deep-rooted and very concerning sociopathic tendencies.

Moving on from these tales for the ages, "News or Not" makes a miraculous return from the segment graveyard. This week's real and/or fake news headlines revolve around current cultural and societal zeitgeists - including anti-vaxxers, the Taliban and Harry Styles.

The boys further their struggles to create content (again, despite a whole two weeks off) by stealing r/AskReddit's most popular questions and answering them themselves on "Answer Reddit".

The questions get progressively dumber as the segment goes on, starting with a philosophical insight into the boys' quarter life crises and ending with quite literally the least funniest jokes you will ever hear.

Also this week: Caucasian families, pet food, grandpa's ashes and Vladimir Putin.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit and provide your own answers!

Critical Banter's Got Talent

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The lockdown madness continues this week as Kush begins with a tale of conspiracy and pseudo-racism. Is it a case of vigilant neighbours or is Kush a menace to society?

Ro’s had a terrible week with online shopping as he reveals some mishaps including lost orders and mistaken orders. He then cowardly refuses to name and shame an online store which stuffed up his online order.

Finally we mourn the loss of a mammoth figure in all of our lives. OnlyFans have tragically announced during the week that explicit content is now banned from the platform, leaving millions of men and women around the world devastated.

Through God’s grace, “Finish the Lyric” is back this week. Much like Lazarus, “Finish the Lyric” is back from the dead after over a year in the wilderness. Unlike previous editions, the boys are actually somewhat alright at the game this time and we even hear the boys belt out some tunes.

Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank various things, this week we tier Influencer Houses. They say those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Well this week, we absolutely hail down rocks from our high horse as we belittle houses we couldn’t even dream to afford.

Also this week: Oscar Wylee, JobSeeker, Astronaut in the Ocean and BTS.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Hypocrisy Manifest

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Straight off the bat this week there is drama. After spending weeks on this podcast lampooning and lambasting certain individuals for flouting Sydney’s Covid lockdown laws, a member of the podcast has shamed themselves and their family with their actions. A dark day for this podcast as one of us becomes the very thing we swore to destroy.

Anyway, in other news, the Premier League is back with some fairly interesting sponsors. We discuss some of the stranger football sponsors from Angry Birds to African countries and cryptocurrency’s.

We also bring back a fan favourite segment, “Bullslut” this week. Sen has been deemed too good at this game so he sits out, leaving Miguel, Kush and Ro to go head to head in this week’s edition. This week we cover Fast and Furious movies, Premier League teams, Olympics sport and host cities and more.

#AskTCB is back this week as we’ve run out of content. We cast the net far and wide over Instagram and the TCB Appreciation Society and sourced the best (kinda) questions and answered them on this week's edition. This week we answer questions about illegal Pfizer shots, Subway orders and betrayal.

Also this week: Chad the country, more Olympic slander, Marshmello and Chicken Teriyaki.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Jab City (with Jenny Tian)

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Rohit’s John Howard era dial-up internet is still on the ropes, so he misses this week’s episode, which is a damn shame because this week we have a very special and very funny guest, Sydney comedian Jenny Tian. Before we get to Jenny, the boys reveal some big news from during the week.

The boys are sick and tired of being in lockdown so they take matters into their own hands this week by getting the jab. Sen gets his hands on some elusive Pfizer while Miguel rolls the dice with some AZ and we are proud to say both him and his 3 arms are doing just fine.

Next up is our interview with Jenny. We delve deep into her psyche and upbringing, exploring her primary school days, university days and corporate career as we finally do some research and preparation for once.

Jenny recounts her rarest moment, the absolute specimens she met on the comedy circuit as well as bonding with the boys over their equally strict and traumatic Asian parenting experiences.

Finally this week, Jenny was a very good sport and agreed to stick around for another segment. “Help Harry,” is a new segment/series where we will be attempting to help our incredibly unlucky (not really) friend in his quest for love.

With Jenny’s help, we embark on this suicide mission that may outlast the podcast itself. We begin with a tale of this young man’s first date which begins so promisingly yet ends so poorly. What will Harry do next?

Also this week: Manus Island, Healthy Harold, WhatsApp hoaxes and oversharing childhood traumas on first dates.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Help Harry: Our friend Harry needs some help with the ladies. In this segment we do our best to try and help him find love.

Olympic Junkie Boxing

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Another week of lockdown madness here at Critical Banter. This week’s episode begins with a discussion on virtual meeting etiquette and some awkward horror stories of virtual meetings.

Also this week, as the Olympics are currently in full swing, we take some time to discuss various sports and whether they should even be considered sports. Seriously wtf is skateboarding doing at the Olympics.

This week we also bring back the classic segment “Would You Rather.” Surprisingly for once, these would you rather questions are not filled with smut and innuendo, instead this week we discuss the pros and cons of being 11 feet tall, crusty socks and eating your own children, amongst other topics.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week all our rare units have been kindly dobbed in by our listeners. This week's rare units include road raging meth addicts, opportunistic hobos and the eradication of octogenarian’s.

Also this week: Sex workers at the Olympics, cheaper by the dozen and old people Hunger Games.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Would You Rather: The boys are presented with hypothetical questions and have to choose which option they’d rather.

Our Cry for Help

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We’re back again this week, still in lockdown and a little bit crazy. We begin with an inane chat on the intricacies and nuances of the use of the word “belated,” i.e. when is it too late to say “belated”?

Then Sen launches into a rant on virtual farewell cards/farewell drinks and virtual drinks in general, which is increasingly becoming the norm in the post-Covid world.

Finally, a big announcement as we announce a gaming session this weekend! That's right, you can join the boys virtually and play games with all your favourite TCB members and Rohit.

We have the final edition of the 2021 Best Friend Check with Sen taking the stage. Much like previous editions of this quiz, Sen also asks questions regarding his COD experiences, favourite catchphrases and fitness endeavours. Who will come out on top as the overall “Best Friend.”

“Banter Reviews” is back this week as we compare Lockdown 2020 vs Lockdown 2021. We pit these 2 events head to head by judging them across a number of different criteria and in the end the result is very clear as we find very few positives to say about one of these Lockdowns.

Also this week: Moe’s Tavern, Liverpool FC, Sportsbet, Toilet Paper and Pfizer.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Tim Tam, Thank You Ma'am

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

This may be our most UnAustralian episode thus far. We begin with a cheeky update from Covid bandit we mentioned a few weeks back, it appears that bridges may be burned.

Following that, we answer a few questions from a listener, mostly regarding how much our friends/family/co-workers know about the podcast, and considering none of us have been fired (yet), it’s clear that we keep these lives separate.

This week we have the third edition of the 2021 “Best Friend Check.” Miguel steps up to the plate this week, and in what's suddenly become a running gag in this quiz, Miguel asks obscure questions regarding his Warzone skills, his dog and his most commonly used catchphrase for 2021.

Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank various things, this week we tier iconic Aussie snacks. From Tim Tam to Milo, Vegemite to lamingtons, we rank the greatest Aussie snacks on a tier list which naturally goes from Steve Irwin to George Pell.

Also this week: Meteorites, Stormzy, Ben Simmons and Fairy Bread.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

The COVID Toothbrush Conspiracy

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

After a week of back and forth with the technical team in the Philippines and multiple threats to escalate the issue to ACCC and the Ombudsman, Rohit’s internet has been upgraded from “Venezuela” to “how ya going.”

This week begins with a cowardly, yet ultimately fair, ambush on Sen, with the use of Guerilla tactics that would’ve made the Viet Cong proud.

After agreeing to disagree, the boys then cowardly attack another individual who they called out in last week’s episode for breaching COVID rules. Kush doubles down and calls for their immediate extermination. Stay tuned to see how this saga ends.

We also give an update regarding our YouTube - that’s right you can now watch our episodes on YouTube, so be sure to check that out!

Next cab off the rank for the 2021 edition of the “Best Friend Check” is Ro. Similar to last week, Ro asks niche questions about Warzone, his favourite catchphrases and his teeth. Will we do better than last week?

We end this week with an old classic in “Out of Touch.” As we have proven time and time again on this podcast, the boys are very out of touch with the common person and this week reinforces that very notion. This week the boys discuss outrageous toothbrushes, UberEats and vaccines.

Also this week: TPG, Salem Witch Trials, Oral B, AstraZeneca, DoorDash and Pfizer.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person.

Everybody Loves Kush

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Sydney is still in lockdown, which means the boys can’t meet in person (thank god), but that also means we are still recording remotely. This week we feel the wrath of remote recording as we fall victim to Rohit’s John Howard-era dial-up internet.

After trying to record with that man on a 30 second delay, we gave up and decided to just record without him. In true cowardly fashion, we spend the first 10 minutes of this week’s episode slamming Rohit behind his back, before we rant about other buffoons we’d seen on social media skirting lockdown protocols.

The “Best Friend Check” is back for 2021! For our new listeners, this is a game to see who the real friends are at Critical Banter. For the next 4 weeks each host will test the other 3 on how well they know them. To kick us off, Kushagra is in the hot seat this week and puts the boys through their paces - can they do better than last year's abysmal effort?

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, Miguel shares 2 cuckings from his week: a work-based professional cucking and more wholesome cucking. Sen also presents a bizarre cucking that occurred during the week which typically descends into wang chat.

Also this week: Dial-Up internet, Lockdown laws, AJ Tracey, Craig Ferguson and navy seals.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Post Off (with Jack Post)

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Huuuuge week for Critical Banter this week. As the title suggests, we welcome a very special guest onto the podcast - Jack Post.

Jack is a doyen of Australian commercial radio, best known for his exploits on Hamish and Andy, and can now be found on breakfast radio on The Christian O'Connell Show.

Before we delve into Jack however, we get an update from the boys as Sydney descends into Lockdown 2 and we all know sequels aren’t as good as the original. Nevertheless, Sydneysiders lost their collective minds as Sen recounts an incident of road rage in a Maccas drive-thru - someone clearly wasn’t lovin’ it.

We then finally reach around our very special guest Jack, who reveals a very startling and quite rare fact about his upbringing. We then get to know about Jack and his illustrious radio career, including his glamorous beginnings in youth broadcasting.

Our chat with Jack is quite extensive as we cover topics none of us really expected to reach, culminating in a 1v1 showdown between Jack and Post Malone, for the much coveted title of “Best Post.”

Finally this week, Jack was polite enough to stick around with us to play a new game, “Nostalgia Remix,” where we pitted Jack up against Ro and Kush in a battle of musical knowledge and memory - two areas in which Ro and Kush severely lack.

In this edition of the game, we cover anthems of the 2000’s, songs which any Gen-Zer would consider to be a bop.

Also this week: Sid from Toy Story 2, Saffron_83, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Flo-Rida.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach-Around: To show gratitude and respect to our guest, and like all good hosts should do, the boys get around the guest in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Nostalgia Remix: In this simple game, the boys and guests are given the title and artist of popular, generation defining songs. They must then guess the year in which these songs were released.

Mo Today, Gone Tomorrow

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Incredibly sad week at Critical Banter as we mourn the loss of a pivotal member of our team and a true fan favourite. The sudden departure of this comrade has shook us to our core and we will always remember the great times we had. Nevertheless, we struggle on through with this week’s episode, as the memory of Kush’s mo casts a large shadow over us.

After eulogising the mo, we discuss pant etiquette, awkward conversations at the barber and finally a crypto update. That’s right, you can now officially (and legally) get some of our BBC.

The game this week is a new one called “Higher or Lower.” The premise is quite simple, the boys are given 2 social media accounts and have to decide if one has higher or lower the amount of followers than the other account. For once Kush is actually quite good at a game, perhaps his moustache was holding him back thus far?

Finally this week, we bring back “Most Likely To,” as the boys delve deep into each other's psyche by answering some simple questions. Some questions prove to be straightforward to answer, whilst others cause division as tensions flare in this edition.

Also this week: Godzilla, Russell Westbrook, Rumspringa, WWE and Coronavirus.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Higher or Lower: This is a simple game where the boys have to guess if a certain social media account has more or less followers than another.

Most Likely To: The boys answer listener provided “Most Likely To” questions as we discover what the boys really think of each other.

What’s a God to a Hasbulla

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The lads take a break from watching the Euro’s to record this week’s episode. You may note the boys sound dusty as we were coming off a big night in the town celebrating Miguel’s birthday, which is where this week’s episode begins.

Kush reveals his drunken purchase from that night, which was a t-shirt with his idol’s face on it. We then get a crypto update, Sen discusses drunk ettiquette at the club before Kush gets all theological on us.

Next up we have a new and very self indulgent game this week called “Cancel Us,” where we revisit the archives and pick out some timeless quotes from earlier episodes. The boys then must decide who said the quote, the context and the episode name.

“Delete This” is back big time this week. In this segment, we embrace our inner Gen Zers and discuss various places, people or things we believe should be cancelled. This week it’s rain, Vivid, geese, birthday’s, exhibition boxing matches and the whole season of winter.

Also this week: Abdorozik, dwarves, Bo Burnham, conjoined twins and Canada Goose.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Cancel Us: We revisit some old classic quotes from this very podcast and the boys have to guess who said these quotes.

Delete This: In honour of the modern day cancel culture, the boys discuss what other events, places or people should be cancelled.

Rohit's Failed Threesome

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra joins us this week, taking a break from his rigorous preparations ahead of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. Upon his return, he ponders a philosophical question regarding our musical taste - lyrics or beat.

We then have a crypto update, before in true podcast fashion, and what is quickly becoming a recurring trope, we have a strange bathroom story, this time featuring Sen.

Finally, we delve into Rohit’s birthday extravaganza. Strap in as we take you through, not one, not two, but three (attempted) surprise birthday events on the same day, with the same group of friends, for one very ungrateful knob.

We live in the digital age, the TikTok generation, with shortened attention spans and limited disposable income. Ad campaigns these days are short and snappy and mostly forgettable. This week's game, “Know Your Brand,” tests the boys' knowledge of classic Australian ads and brand slogans. This game really just shows who watched too much TV as a kid.

The always popular TCB Debate is back this week, as we cover a wide range of issues. We begin with Rohit and Miguel spicing it up with some casual fat shaming, Miguel and Kush then take aim at short people, before finally Rohit and Kush bring us home with some choice words to Anti-Vaxxers.

Also this week: Urinal etiquette, bubble soccer, Burger King and silver back gorillas.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Know Your Brand: The boys are tested on their knowledge of brand slogans and famous ad campaigns.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

Seagull War Stories

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The idiots are back for another week of the podcast. We begin as we did last week, with a crypto update as the hunt continues to name and create our own cryptocurrency.

During the week, listeners wrote in with some good (and bad) suggestions for our crypto name. We’ve taken those suggestions into consideration and we finally decided on a name, unfortunately it will not be called Kush Koin. Sen then tells a tale of karma and delicious poetic justice featuring not one, but two, seagull drive by’s. We end with a Marcus Rashford update.

Eyebrows are raised this week as “Usernames” makes a Lazarus-esque comeback. Listeners might remember this game was played a number of times last year with very little success. Well, “Usernames” is back for round 2, and through the grace of Allah, the boys are now miraculously very good at this game.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include birthday gift etiquette as we expose our friend’s birthday shenanigans that they’ve pulled for two consecutive years now, as well as the etiquette of paying back people you don't know.

Also this week: Cuckatoos, 420, ACCC, Barack Obama and Mia Khalifa.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Usernames: In this game, the boys are given one word clues which they must use to guess another word the host is thinking of.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Cryptocurrency Trading Tips & Secrets

Wed, 26 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The lads need your help this week as we delve into the murky world of cryptocurrency. Kushagra has been summoned to broker peace between Israel and Palestine and in his absence the boys decide to take the next logical step in their podcasting career - creating their own cryptocurrency. What could go wrong? Sen then gives an update to Australia’s mice pandemic and PETA’s useless advice.

New game this week as Sen tests Miguel and Rohit’s BS detector with a segment called “Fact or Fiction.” The boys are given statements that sound too good to be true and must decide which are in fact true and which are fiction.

Finally we end with a new segment “Shark Wank,” a spin-off of the popular tv show “Shark Tank.” Here the boys take already invented objects, albeit useless inventions, and decide if they should steal these ideas and how to enhance them.

Also this week: CavCoin, rat stabbing, pineapples and hobo sleeping bags.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Fact or Fiction: In this era of fake news, the boys try to decipher if the outrageous statements presented to them are true or not.

Shark Wank: Why create your own inventions when you can simply take already failed inventions and look to improve them slightly for your own gain?

Kush’s Genocide

Wed, 19 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Like the old adage goes, “Still 0-0 lads,” the Critical Banter boys have reset after a huge week of 100th episode celebrations. To inaugurate this landmark (10)1st episode, Kush begins with an epic, and rather pointless, tale of his encounter with a squadron of mosquitos. To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Kush portrays all the hallmarks of a heartless, cold-blooded killer.

Sen then hits the boys with an impromptu “Mind your Manners,” relating to paying for lunch before launching into an unhinged rant about the layout of Sydney’s CBD and aggressive taxi drivers.

We have a new game this week “Finish the Acronym,” where Sen gives the boys some famous acronyms and asks them to give him the long form name. We promise the game is a lot more fun than it sounds.

The boys get Catholic this week, and open themselves up emotionally seeking salvation, in our new segment “TCB Confessions.” The confessional booth is open this week, as each lad confesses to their heinous sins and the others decide how many Hail Mary’s they must say. Some truly horrific sins are confessed to, but there is no judgement.

Also this week: Medieval fighting techniques, the immigration debate and trimmer equality.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Acronym: The boys try and guess the full name of well known acronyms.

TCB Confessions: Tired of living with so much catholic guilt, the boys head to the house of god, and confess their sins and are given Hail Mary’s depending on the severity of their sins.

The 100th Episode Extravaganza

Wed, 12 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Raise the bat lads! They’ve done it, they’ve reached the big three digits. The first 30 episodes were a bit scratchy, with a few plays and misses outside the off stump, but it was smooth sailing since.

This week the lads honour you, the listeners. We asked and you guys delivered. Strap in for an hour as we answer your questions, taking you on a journey from the very beginning to now, with some interesting stories and tidbits. No segments, just an hour of questions and answers.

Hope you guys enjoy and, again, a massive thanks for 100 episodes, and here’s to 100 more!

You Hate to Pee It

Wed, 05 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We are so close to Episode 100, we can almost taste it, however instead this week, we taste urine. Episode 99 begins with resident evangelical, Ro, telling us about his guardian angel.

Following that, Miguel then tells us about his guardian angel and run in with the law, before he ends with his awkward encounter in the line to a club.

Our new game this week is “Madlib Madness.” Sen and Migs go head-to-head as they provide various nouns, adjectives and adverbs in an effort to come up with the funniest paragraph. This week we explore anal beads, Care Bears and of course, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week we (unfairly) dob in some simple folk who wanted to take their bananas out for a walk, a man tried to bubbler Sen and networking in a club.

Also this week: The bus that couldn’t slow down, Makita hedge trimmers and fruity adventures.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Madlib Madness: The boys tackle some madlibs, and as expected, things turn debaucherous very quickly.

To Pee or Not To Pee

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We are edging closer to Episode 100 as well as edging just in general. Kushagra is not here this week as he has been cryogenically frozen in anticipation for our 100th episode extravaganza. But before then, we have to get through Episode 98, which begins like many other episodes, with a discussion about consent.

This time it’s consent regarding calling people while peeing (wang in hand and all). Definitely one of the more nicher consents to consider. Also, Covid almost a myth in Sydney, clubs have reopened and Miguel recounts his jarring experience re-entering the clubbing scene after over a year in retirement.

Our new game this week is “This or That.” Pretty simple game where Sen asks Rohit and Miguel a question and offers them two options, to which they must decide if they answer is this or that. This week’s edition involves Betty White, Nintendo, Taylor Swift and the Chicago Cubs amongst many other things.

We bring back “Delete This” to end the episode this week. To jog your memory, in this segment, we embrace our inner Gen Zers and discuss various places, people or things we believe should be cancelled. This week it’s various Instagram trends, vodka cruisers and a tunnel in Sydney.

Also this week: Urine etiquette, racist clubs, Gru, how tall are buildings and Northconnex.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

This or That: Fun little game where the boys are asked a question and given two options and must decide if it’s this or that.

Delete This: In honour of the modern day cancel culture, the boys discuss what other events, places, people or trends should be cancelled.

2 Girls, 1 Car

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Not too long to go until the big Episode 100, but before then, this week’s episode doesn’t disappoint. Ro begins with a tale as old as time: a breakup in front of a live audience. After hearing that rollercoaster of a story, Sen rants about automatic tips being applied at bars and tipping in general in Australia.

The boys realise their brains are getting slower as they get older, whether it be due to the aggressive drinking or substance abuse. In this new game “Brain Training,” we try to reverse these effects with a few quick games aimed to get the brain working.

New segment to end this week called “Is this Niche?” This is where the boys discuss if certain ideas/behaviours/topics are considered niche or if they’re actually more popular than we realise. In this first edition we analyse hobbies and decide if we think they’re niche or not.

Also this week: Car traps, minimum wage, xot and bondage.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Brain Training: It’s no secret the boys are a bit dense. In this segment we play some games aimed at sharpening the old noggin.

Is this Niche?: The boys discuss various topics or ideas and discuss if they are niche or common practice in the wider community.

Rice: Earth’s Mightiest Carbs

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

The world was in shock this week as an unprecedented, sudden event swept the world's interest. Yes that’s right, Kushagra has shown up 2 weeks in a row. We’re just as confused as you are.

To mark this momentous occasion, Kush starts with sucking up to the NSW Government and the metro before Rohit launches into by far the nichest rant we’ve had: tier listing carbs. After discussing carbs for far too long, we ramble about surprise birthdays and come to a common consensus that surprise birthdays suck.

Next we bring back the always popular “Bullslut,” with this week's edition featuring a wide range of topics such as African countries, cocktails, famous painters and McDonalds menu items. Kush once again shows he is terrible at this game.

Finally we end with “Mind Your Manners,” where we analyse some everyday scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them. This week's scenarios include an awkward birthday, hitchhiker issues, consent and terrible housewarming hosts.

Also this week: Overrated carbs, Gladys, Deshawn, forgetful friends and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (again).

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Revenge of the Hilary

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is back this week after helping dislodge the ship in the Suez Canal. Episode 95 of the Critical Banter Podcast begins with a discussion about pets, with a few notable updates. Rohit has finally gained legal ownership, ending a meaningless 9 month Mexican standoff with the previous owner.

In other pet news, self proclaimed dog hater Miguel also got his own new puppy Dmitri (name still pending) - follow Miguel on Instagram for dog related content. Finally, to celebrate the coming and going of April Fool’s Day, we reminisce about past pranks that we have seen/heard.

The game this week is “Language Loop,” where famous movie quotes are translated through Google translate to multiple languages and the boys must guess the original quote and movie. This week, the quotes are translated to English - Spanish - Serbian - Afrikaans - English.

Another new segment this week with “Analyse and Evaluate”, where the boys are given obscure and rather nonsensical music lyrics and are asked to derive their own meaning of these lyrics. The lads tackle The Killers, Bruno Mars, the Black Eyed Peas and modern philosopher Hilary Duff amongst others.

Also this week: Romanian 3rd Division Football, Saddam Hussein, The Passion of Christ, Archimedes and Craig.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Language Loop: Famous movie quotes are put through the ringer in Google translate, converted into multiple languages and the boys have to guess the original quote.

Analyse and Evaluate: The boys dig deep and try to discover the true meaning to nonsensical musical lyrics.

How to Survive a Quarter Life Crisis

Wed, 31 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Solemn episode of Critical Banter this week, as the title suggests. Before we dive into Sen’s current misgivings, we start this week with a philosophical discussion. Are umbrellas communal? Given the recent torrential rain in Sydney, this question has become more poignant than ever.

We also each discuss our own shady pasts with “borrowing” umbrellas. We also then discuss other biblical signs that point to the end of the world including the current mice plague before ending with a discussion about the Suez Canal.

Our new game this week is called “Gushing Grannies.” Despite the confusing name, this game is quite simple. Sen presents the boys with a rogue (but real) business name from somewhere around the world, and they must try and guess the type of business, based purely on it’s name.

We end with “Sen Needs Therapy,” as Sen recently came to the realisation that he is about to experience a quarter life crisis. Given this, instead of seeking actual professional help, he turns to 2 equally dopey idiots for some advice. In this segment Sen brainstorms some potential ways to navigate through this crisis, which will hopefully bring clarity to himself and to any listeners in the same boat.

Also this week: Lost property, Armageddon, rim jobs, assault & battery and sabbaticals.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Gushing Grannies: The boys are given terrible business names and they have to try and figure out the type of business based on the name.

Sen Needs Therapy: As the name suggests, Sen needs some clarity in his life so instead of seeking professional help, he asks Rohit and Miguel instead.

Bus Wanker

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Big week of comebacks as Kushagra returns, TCB Debate returns and my dad returns. Kushagra opens the episode with one of his trademark rants about something inconsequential - this time it’s religious education. Rohit then discusses his favourite past time and apparent schoolyard epidemic, vaping.

We discuss other school trends that we’ve witnessed and experienced, with the usual suspects of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon and Tazos being tossed up. We also mention using TAFE accounts and teacher accounts to illegally access restricted websites while at school.

St. Patrick’s Day was last week, so the Critical Banter boys celebrate in the least Irish way possible - by having a completely sober quiz about Ireland. Sen tests the lads knowledge on all things Ireland, including Irish society, culture, celebrities and even tricky Irish names. Most disturbingly, we discover that Kushagra is in desperate need of Geography lessons.

TCB Debate is back and this week we cover a whole range of topics. We begin as Kushagra and Rohit go back and forth on the pros and cons of the Purge, then Kushagra goes on a passionate rant about Genesis 2:24 as Miguel decides not to get cancelled, before we end with some slam poetry from Rohit that would put Jonah Hill to shame.

Also this week: Primary school Godfathers, Qui Gon-Jinn, vehicle prostitution and Bible verses.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Luck of the Irish: To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the boys partake in a quiz all about Ireland.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

The Friendship Pyramid

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Another week and we still haven’t been cancelled. This week, we begin by trying to do our best to get cancelled. Rohit recounts his tale of racial profiling, leading to Miguel and Sen telling their own stories of racial vilification. In the end, it was concluded that the boys are probably dishing more racial abuse than they are receiving.

Next up we discuss a radical plan to send millions of samples of sperm to the moon, with the boys offering a few thousand samples themselves. Make sure to keep an eye out for Moon Critical Banter made from our space cum.

A new game this week with “Song the Guess,” where Sen presents Miguel and Rohit with some song lyrics in reverse and they must try and guess the song and artist. Traditionally, Critical Banter hasn't been very good with music based games - and this is no different to the others.

“Mind Your Manners” returns this week, as we ponder some of life’s more trickier social scenarios. This week is all about friends. We dissect the nuances and etiquette surrounding friendship and the “Friendship Pyramid” - in particular, the instragram close friends conundrum, should best friends be reciprocated, how many best friends can you have and does the time you take to pay someone back change depending on where they are on your “Friendship Pyramid.”

Also this week: Casual racism, casual misogyny, hokey pokey and imaginary friends.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Song the Guess: The boys are presented with song lyrics and they must guess the correct song - except the lyrics are in reverse!

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Jacket On, Jacket Off

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We have somehow reached Episode 91 of The Critical Banter Podcast - we’re just as shocked as you to discover we’ve done this 91 times. Just 9 more weeks until the big 100. What do we have planned? Not even we know. Until then, welcome back to another episode, Kushagra is not with us this week as he is load managing (2nd of 5 weeks).

We begin with a discourse on useless/fake degrees, spurred by Rohit’s midweek discovery of the “Bachelor of Planning” degree. We then discovered that a “Energy Orgasm” retreat was going to take place in Bali, and we weren’t invited. We also learn what “Energy Orgasms” are.

As we near the end of the “Back to School” quizzes, we tackle everyone’s favourite free period, religious (Christian) education. This week Sen tests Miguel and Rohit’s knowledge of the world’s, both real and fictional, religions - spanning from Catholicism to Pastafarianism and everything in between.

We end this week with the classic, “Cuck or Be Cucked,” where we analyse situations where someone has been alpha’d and how they can recover from such alphaing. This week we discuss gym alphas, being swindled by Hungry Jacks before we hear what could possibly be the best and most dominant alphaing involving a jacket.

Also this week: Geology, sex addicts, Jedism, Scientology, Big Jack and roid rage.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Rohit's Phobia

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1000

TCB is back again this week and much like Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine, we are 95% effective at talking about nothing. Kushagra’s gone walkabout this week, preparing for his cameo on this season’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

In his absence, Rohit begins with a rogue discussion on our collective phobias, before we applaud the triumphant return of Schapelle Corby into the Australian psyche. We end with a brief eulogy to the humble mullet, after it has been banned at yet another private school.

There is light at the end of the “Back to School” quiz tunnel, as this week we tackle Society and Culture (yes, this is a real subject). More specifically, Sen tests Rohit and Miguel’s knowledge on the Amish and on Buddhism.

We end this week with a new segment Hackerman, whereby we read out and analyse some of the more unethical life hacks we’ve come across. This week we discuss petty vandalism, minor assault, narcolepsy, gift card fraud and coal as a viable fuel source.

Also this week: Trypophobia, tango, Apple Chapel and eternal happiness.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Hackerman: At TCB we are committed to helping you find the shortcuts in life. More often than not, the advice we give is immoral and unconscionable. This segment is full of that advice.

Bike Runner: The Director's Cut

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Hold the press, Kushagra actually joins us this week, fresh from receiving the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. Despite him suddenly developing a third eye, Kush is still very much the same as he immediately launches into one of his trademark, largely unhinged and rather unprovoked, rants on cyclists.

Rohit then divulges an epiphany he had during the week about his apparent lack of fine motor skills and wonders when he will learn “dad dick energy.”

The “Back to School” quizzes continue and this week is all about English. Sen tests all the boys' knowledge of texts they (should’ve) studied in high school as well as an investigation into the conventions of literary techniques.

To end this week, we introduce a new segment, “Urban Legends,” where we discuss some of the more supernatural myths and folklore. This week we begin with a discussion on two local urban legends, Picton Tunnel and the Wakehurst Parkway, before Kushagra shares his own spooky experience.

Also this week: Facebook, pathetic fallacy, Rick Deckard, invisible ink and Ghostbusters.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Urban Legends: From Bloody Mary to Slenderman, in this segment we explore and discuss some of the spookiest urban legends.

Let It Pee

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kush is currently out this week as he is waiting to be one of the first Australians to receive the coronavirus vaccine. In his absence, Rohit begins with a tale of unfound selfishness, featuring himself, a toilet and a man in a wheelchair. Will he change his ways after this? Probably not. We then discuss a freak in the US who “accidentally” swallowed an AirPod as well as chameleons who are hung like horses.

The “Back to School” quizzes continue and this week we tackle the world of science. From chemistry to physics and everything in between (even astrology), Sen tests all of Miguel and Rohit’s scientific knowledge.

Finally we discuss some of the most unpopular opinions in the current social zeitgeist, in a cleverly titled segment, “Unpopular Opinions.” In this inaugural edition of this segment, we discuss pineapples, The Beatles, the death penalty and the nuances of platonicism and the friendzone.

Also this week: Wheelchairs, photosynthesis, peeing, R Kelly and firing squads.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Unpopular Opinions: In this segment, we discuss some of the most unpopular opinions and decide if they rightfully earned that unpopular status.

Communist Ice-Cream

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is still not with us, as he’s currently in talks to replace Jeff Bezos as Amazon’s CEO. In his absence, we begin this week with one of Rohit’s favourite topics, the notion of individual glory vs team success. We discuss whether we prefer to achieve individual success but the team loses or fail miserably but at least the team wins. There are differing opinions, but we all know which Rohit would prefer.

We then explore the possibility of Google leaving Australian shores with the prospect of using Bing, Yahoo or AskJeeves as alternatives. We also ponder whether we would be happy to pay for a subscription service to Google and Google products.

The “Back to School” quizzes continue and this week due to popular demand (Miguel), we have the maths quiz. Little surprise to see who wins the maths quiz between Miguel and Rohit, but nonetheless the boys are put through their paces with this quiz.

Finally this week, we introduce a new segment, “Squeeze Every Penny,” where we discuss the most heinous acts of stinginess. This week we explore individuals with lavish apartments but no furniture, before Rohit recounts his experience of a stinge at the supermarket deli.

Also this week: AskJeeves, Pythagoras, trigonometry, precious ice-cream and ham.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Squeeze Every Penny: In this segment we dob in the most stingiest individuals we have encountered.

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Massive week this week, as Kushagra is currently on suicide watch after putting his life savings in GME. Unfortunately for him, the ASX listed GME has very little to do with the American game store chain, meaning Kushagra is currently on the run from loan sharks and is unable to join us this week.

We begin with a moral discussion, as we hear the tale of a foolish individual who returned an extra mattress that had been delivered to them mistakenly. After we all very quickly realised this isn't much of a moral dilemma, we dive deep into the biggest news story of the week, Gamestop. Many news outlets have discussed and analysed this modern day Robin Hood to death, but now three idiots with little to no financial acumen decide to give their two cents on this David vs Goliath battle.

To coincide with the return of school, Sen has decided to test the boys' knowledge of things they should’ve learned in high school, in a series of quizzes we’re creatively calling “Back to School.” In the second “Back to School” quiz, the boys are tested on their history knowledge.

Finally this week, we revisit #AskTCB, answering listener questions which have been sent in via Instagram, YouTube and the TCB Appreciation Society. This week's debaucherous questions involve dick pics, cannibalism, high school, relationship breakdowns and racism.

Also this week: Stonks, JFK, Marco Polo, wangs and casual racism vs full time racism.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Fantastic Wallets and Where to Find Them

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Another big week of news in the world and here is Critical Banter to cover absolutely none of it. Kushagra is off on walkabout this week, leaving Miguel, Rohit and Sen to their own devices. Rohit begins with yet another wallet update, this time providing us with a glimmer of hope. After hearing the magic wallet story, we discuss Trump’s pardons, Bernard Tomic’s missus and duck hunting.

It’s late January, which means millions of school kids around Australia will begrudgingly head back to school (or zoom) this week. To celebrate the return of school, Sen tests the boys' knowledge of things they should’ve learned in high school, in a series of quizzes we’re creatively calling “Back to School.” In this week’s first “Back to School” quiz, the boys are tested on their geography skills.

Finally this week, we once again the outcasts and weirdos of society in “Don in a Rare Unit.” This week we have some doozy’s, as we hear about rare behaviour from old cobbas at the gym, PDA and emancipation through murder.

Also this week: Parramatta, King Kyrgios, Dwayne Johnson, leaking arseholes and samurai swords.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Back to School: To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the boys are put through their paces to determine if they still remember anything they were taught in high school.

Weed Growing for Dummies

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We’re absolutely rolling through January, so here is another episode of Critical Banter to help you through your work week. Kushagra is not here this week, as he’s on a diplomatic pilgrimage to the US, to attend Joe Biden’s inauguration.

In his absence, the boys begin with a discussion on yet another example of Rohit idly standing by as someone is put into a dangerous scenario. After hearing about Rohit watching someone almost drown, we then discuss the name change of Australia’s most racist cheese before delving into a pumpkin and watermelon festival in northern NSW.

We introduce a new game this week called, “Guess the Brand,” which is as simple as it sounds where Sen gives Miguel and Rohit clues relating to a brand and they must try and guess the brand. This week’s edition features Japanese car makers, energy drinks, tech giants and the colonels nectar.

Finally this week, after almost a year in the wilderness, we bring back “Overrated/Underrated.” Rohit cancels fishing, Sen rants about bright headlights and has an epiphany about water and Miguel slams the McRib.

Also this week: Bystanders, pumpkins, pingers, kiddy fiddlers and the McRib.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Guess the Brand: The boys are given 3 clues describing a very well known brand and must use these clues to guess the brand.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Kush Tests Positive

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Many people have asked for it, and man-of-the-people Kushagra has delivered, gracing us with his presence for the first time in 2021. We begin this week as Kushagra fills us in with his whereabouts for the past 6 weeks, including tales of positive results, government building raids, and cock fighting training camps.

We then reminisce about Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards where we discover Kushagra’s signature scam, Rohit’s card mafia and Miguel reveals a special Charizard.

New game “Lost the Plot” this week where Sen reads out poorly written movie plots and the boys have to guess what the movie is. Resident cinephile, Kushagra, is the man to beat.

Finally this week we bring back the always controversial “Compare and Contrast.” On the chopping block this week are Australian chocolate. To absolutely no one’s surprise this segment descends into chaos, anarchy and controversy very quickly, as friendships are strained and tested. In the end, we were left divided as half the boys thought the list was quite accurate while the other half thought it was radical to say the least.

Also this week: US Capitol, Pawn Stars, Jack and Jill and Dentist appointments.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Lost the Plot: A simple game where the boys have to guess the movie based on a poorly written plot description.

The Gone Identity

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 05:00:00 +1000

TCB is back for 2021 in style. Kushagra is off in the US, campaigning in the Georgia runoff election, but rest assured he will be back next week. We start this week as we ended 2020, with an unprecedented update to the Rohit Wallet saga.

Just when we thought this epic tale had come to an end, we discover this plot has thickened, now featuring an actual act of identity theft. We also discuss Michael Jackson’s house and Russia’s Covid shenanigans.

Next up this week we bring back “I want to be a Billionaire,” which is definitely not the same as that quiz show everyone knows and loves. This week Rohit tests Miguel and Sen’s knowledge of musty facts and questions.

We end this week with a new segment “Review the Review.” After coming across some genuinely outstanding reviews and some absolute stinkers, they boys have decided to start reviewing reviews from the internet, providing feedback and an overall rating for the review. For this inaugural edition of this segment, we review reviews from Australia’s leading adult sex toy website.

Also this week: IPhones, euthanasia, NFL, Macbeth and dildos.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

I Want to be a Billionaire: In no way affiliated with “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” but very much works in the same way.

Review the Review: Tired of reading average reviews? Well, so are we, in this segment we review and critique reviews we’ve seen across the internet.

2020 Wrapped

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This is it, we have finally reached the end of this strange, “unprecedented” year which has simultaneously felt quick and long at the same time. The boys wrap up 2020 in classic TCB fashion, starting with a quick trip to the beach featuring a mature, orderly discussion about the male genitalia before diving into a discussion about cults and religion.

Next up this week we have a quick fire quiz for 2020, called the “2020 20.” Sen tests Rohit and Miguel’s knowledge and decides if the boys have been paying attention to the news, events and general cultural zeitgeist of 2020.

We end this week with “Buy or Sell,” where we look back at some of the biggest trends and cultural phenomena to come from this wretched year. Depending on whether the stocks for these trends have risen or fallen, the boys decide whether to buy the stocks and carry it into 2021 or sell the stocks and leave it in 2020.

Also this week: Wangs, Wangs, Wangs, Wangs, Wangs and even more Wangs.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

2020 20: The big quiz of the news, events and happenings of 2020.

Buy or Sell: The boys decide if the stocks of certain trends and behaviours have risen or fallen and subsequently, if they should buy or sell.

The Christmas Spectacular

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +1000

It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, as the bells start jingling, the mall Santa’s put their fake beards on and the reindeer start warming up. We’ve somehow reached December of this godforsaken year and the boys decide to celebrate the holiday season by getting a bit silly and festive.

Kushagra was in Adelaide during the week, busy opening the batting for India, so it was just Miguel, Rohit and Sen. After testing the dynamics of a drunk podcast, Rohit then tells the boys about a peculiar power move before Sen delves into a 10 minute discussion on cock fighting.

This week’s game is “Finish the Lyric,” with an added Christmas twist. This week Rohit and Sen try and guess famous Christmas songs.

We end this week with the much anticipated finale of the Pepper Press in “Banter Reviews.” After Rohit took a 1-0 lead in the Pepper Press last week, Sen reveals the ultimate winner of the 6 month fitness competition between Miguel and Rohit - where the loser has to eat Australia’s hottest chilli sauce. The results will SHOCK you.

Also this week: Ballsacks, World Slasher Cup, John Lennon and impromptu debating.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Japanese Turkey Slapping

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 10:30:00 +1000

Kushagra has a covid scare midweek, forcing him out of the league fixture on the weekend, meaning he is missing for a second consecutive week. This week starts with a much anticipated (and much needed) update to the Pepper Press as Rohit and Miguel reflect over the past 6 months.

One of the boys is given a point for one of the categories with the other 4 categories and the ultimate winner to be announced in next week’s episode. We then discuss breakdancing at the olympics and whether it constitutes as a sport before we brainstorm other potential olympic sports.

“The Spelling Bee” is back this week, and as per usual the boys are asked to spell the most outrageous and niche words Rohit could find on Urban Dictionary. This week’s words prove to be the most difficult yet, as both Miguel and Sen struggle more than usual and in the end, everyone is a loser (including you the listener).

Finally, we end with “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable,” where we answer fan submitted questions, including a rather urgent request, which we answer (3 months late - whoops). This week we help a man choose between two girls, we help another man choose between golf and a girl, we help another man get a girl and finally help a man girl or not to girl. Simple.

Also this week: Body scanning, Whaling, pwning, golf and smashing birds.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Urban Spelling Bee: In this segment, the boys do their best impression of Indian American teenagers as they guess the spelling of Urban Dictionary words.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than four very single blokes.

African Dictators and Weed Incubators

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +1000

What is the difference between The Godfather Part III, The Return of the Jedi, Game of Thrones Season 8 and this week’s episode? This week’s podcast actually produces a satisfactory conclusion to a much loved franchise: the Rohit wallet saga. With Kushagra away this week, off in the UK helping Pfizer test their coronavirus vaccine, the rest of the boys gear up for the second ever filmed episode of the podcast (check out our YouTube for full episodes aha x).

We begin with the exciting final instalment of Rohit vs The Wallet Thief. You’ve heard of David vs. Goliath, Man vs. Speeding Ticket, now it’s Rohit vs. Bank as Rohit is handed an ultimatum. We then discuss various news tidbits from the week including, the monolith pandemic, an Austrian village and the Namibian democratic process.

Quick little “Bullslut” this week. In this edition we name Christmas carols, water sports and Disney movies. Can Miguel beat the undefeated Sen?

We end this week with “Cuck or Be Cucked.” This week we read out a fan submitted novella featuring multiple instances of cucking, debauchery and general tomfoolery, including an actual literal cucking. After wading through that epic tale, Rohit then recounts a cucking feature drug dens and landlord/tenant disputes.

Also this week: Rohit’s Ted Talk, Bunnings, Namibian General Elections, Mariah Carey and Hydroponics.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Podcast. YouTube. OnlyFans. In That Order

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is back from his week-long Bunga Bunga Party, just in time to join us for a very momentous episode. This week marks our very first episode to be filmed and uploaded to YouTube. That’s right, from this week, you’ll now have the privilege to both hear, and see us, as we record our episodes. Be sure to check out our YouTube channel 'Critical Banter' (link below) for future episodes and exclusive YouTube content such as challenges, pranks and classic Bollywood covers.

This week, we discuss Black Friday, good deals, the Utah desert and elaborate pranks.

“Usernames” makes a comeback this week. Miguel offers up some easier words this time, yet the boys continue to be terrible at this game.

We end this week’s episode with the return of, “Not All Heroes,” where we recount epic tales of unlikely heroes and individuals who have had to step up to the plate in a time of need. In this edition, the boys discuss covid restriction skirting shenanigans by some high school boys, before Miguel tries to spin a story of kidnap and grievous bodily harm as heroic. Much like last time, neither stories contain any actual heroes.

Also this week: Broccoli, The Fifth Element, Jordan, Love is Love and Wedding Tackle.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Usernames: In this game, the boys are given one word clues which they must use to guess another word the host is thinking of.

Not All Heroes: In this segment we pay tribute to the average Joes and true blue everyday battlers who stepped up when needed.

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is a no show for this week, presumably out celebrating South Dakota recently legalising marijuana, but alas the show must go on. We begin this week with a story about first dates, leading to an in depth discussion about the etiquette of first dates and the do’s and don’ts. We then discuss the rebranding of Red Skins and Chicos as we revisit one of our favourite topics; racist food names.

“Would You Rather” makes an appearance this week as we answer questions sent in via Instagram and from the TCB Appreciation Society. This week’s “Would You Rather” questions feature many existential crises, bowel issues, rice purity, hiccups and other similarly themed debauchery.

Also this week: Ted Bundy, Tourettes, Beastiality, Incest and Louis Vuitton.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Would You Rather: The boys are presented with hypothetical questions and have to choose which option they’d rather.

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person.

Do Androids Dream of Apple's Sheep?

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week the boys are back in the flesh, recording face to face for the first time in 8 months. After getting the customary reaching around out of the way, we begin this week’s episode with a small teaser of our next coning adventure. Rohit then floats other potential prank ideas, alarmingly all of which include 1 year old birthday parties. We end with a mini “Mind Your Manners,” as Rohit recounts his epic tale of survival in a fast food drive through.

Next we bring back the always popular “Bullslut,” with this week's edition featuring a wide range of topics such as gaming consoles, colours, US Presidents, musical instruments and geography. Each topic proves to be difficult, emphasising the struggles of the already academically challenged trio of Rohit, Sen and Kush.

We end this week with the “TCB Debate.” After a successful debut, and with the conclusion of the US Presidential Election, we thought it would be good to bring this segment back. This week’s debate topics see Rohit get tyrannical, the closet theologian Miguel spits Biblical bars and Kush brings cold hard FACTS.

Also this week: KFC, Gatecrashing, House of Cards, Pol Pot and the Gospel of Matthew.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

Cheat, Pray, Love

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This was a big week for the world, and this podcast, as Kushagra joins Miguel, Rohit and Sen to dissect the most pivotal events from the week (from a betting perspective). We start with another Rohit wallet update as the saga of the world’s most nonchalant robbery seemingly continues. We then discuss the US election, Melbourne Cup, State of Origin and of course, gambling.

The ever popular “What is the Question?” is back this week as we are a bit low on content. This week’s edition of “What is the Question?” starts somewhat normally before the wheels fall off very quickly and the segment descends into utter chaos. The biggest takeaway from this segment is Kushagra not comprehending what a light year is.

This week’s last segment is a new one, “Grey Areas.” In this segment the boys discuss some actions/behaviours/scenarios which could be deemed to be morally ambiguous. We analyse these grey areas and hope to shed some light and remove any doubts over the morality. This segment is really just a facade to excuse the boys questionable views and behaviour.

Also this week: Donald Trump, No Nut November, Jehovah’s Witness and Sandpapergate.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

What is the Question: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

Grey Areas: The boys discuss and breakdown some morally ambiguous actions and scenarios and decide if they are conscionable or not.

Answering Listener Questions

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is back this week for this spooky edition of the podcast. We begin this week with Rohit updating us on his ongoing battle with the man actively stealing his identity. The obvious conclusion we come to is, Rohit taking justice into his own hands and becoming a vigilante.

We then get into the halloween spirit as we discuss the nuances of halloween and trick-or-treating. We also discuss other fictional things such as Jesus, Biden winning the election, animal cruelty and Unicorns.

#AskTCB is back this week as we’ve run out of content. We cast the net far and wide over Instagram and the TCB Appreciation Society and sourced the best questions and answered them on this week's edition. This week we answer questions about life or death situations, ravioli, Eminem, personal stories from the boys and questions about the podcast.

Finally, we end with a new segment “Where Are They Now?” where we discuss and reminisce about cult heroes from our past and wonder what has happened to them. This week we ponder the fate of our second favourite Australian drug smuggler and our second favourite fictional clown.

Also this week: Indian Batman, Trump2020, Dildo’s, Unconditional Love and Ronald McDonald

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Where Are They Now?: Boys take a trip down memory lane as they reminisce about past cult heroes.

Call Him Daddy

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Weirdly sexual episode of the pod this week, as Rohit goes out of his way to make his daddy fetish known. Kushagra fortunately misses out on this sensual experience as we begin this week with a tale of tragedy.

Rohit was a victim of a petty crime by an opportunistic criminal and he decides to take justice into his own hands and seek vengeance. After which, he’ll change his name and identity and move to Bankstown for the rest of his days. We then talk about blatant corruption in Australia Post, retail and in the HSC.

“Would You Rather” is back this week as we answer questions sent in via our Instagram and questions sourced from the TCB Appreciation Society (link to join below!). This week’s would you rather questions feature the tax implications of selling cocaine, airfare conundrums, our fathers and mothers, having extra limbs and dropkicking babies.

We introduce a new segment this week, “Fight or Flight,” where the boys are faced with hypothetical situations in which they must either fight or flight. This week’s scenarios see the boys taking on all 5 members of The Wiggles, trying their luck against a Polynesian bouncer, going toe to toe with Mike Tyson and others.

Also this week: Interrogating Children, Cartier Watches, Punter & Andy and The Big Red Car.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Would You Rather: The boys are presented with hypothetical questions and have to choose which option they’d rather.

Fight or Flight: The boys are given a hypothetical life or death scenario and they must choose if they would fight or flight. If they choose to fight, they must explain their fighting strategy.

Our Sex Cult: Coning, Biting and Homoerotic Writing

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Big week for the boys at TCB as we finally test out the cone theory, with surprising results, not to mention Kushagra also graces us with his presence. This week we begin with a quick recap and exclusive sneak peek at our coning adventures (be sure to also check out the full video on YouTube). We also get a story about a potential Karen and a small yappy dog and how to carry out revenge against terrible dog owners.

New game this week as all the talk about psychos in the previous episode led Sen down a strange internet rabbit hole. As a result, the boys this week must guess if the Myers-Briggs personality type presented to them belongs to a certified psycho or to a functioning member of society, in a game we’re calling “Psycho or Samaritan.”

Finally this week, another new segment as the boys delve deep into each other's psyche by answering some simple “Most Likely To” questions. Some questions prove to be straightforward to answer, whilst others cause division as tensions flare in this edition.

Also this week: Bus hooligans, Hot Wheels, Mother Theresa, Cuban Military Bases and Fanfic.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Psycho or Samaritan: The boys are given one of the MBTI personality traits and have to decide if this is the personality of a prominent psycho or everyday Samaritan.

Most Likely To: The boys answer listener provided “Most Likely To” questions as we discover what the boys really think of each other.

Grooming: An Artform

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we welcome on board our new sponsors (and very good friends) at MANSCAPED. Kushagra, overcome with so much excitement, embarked on a 5 day bender and has not been seen since and as a result does not feature this week.

Nevertheless, the other boys plow on and this week we begin with stories of being stuck, whether it be in the sand, in a cave or in a washing machine with your step-brother playing hide the zucchini. We also discuss a big week in sport and the records that were equalled with the boys coming to the conclusion that Rafael Nadal is incredibly overrated.

“Answer Reddit” is back this week after a long hiatus. On this week’s edition we discuss psycho’s, nosey neighbours, terrible birthday gifts and a subtle, yet nuanced, discussion about conjoined twins (for the 50th time).

We end this week with a new segment, “TCB Debate,” with the boys deciding that the world was finally ready to listen to us argue over inane topics. This week’s debate topics see Miguel choose to not get hit by a Toyota Hilux, Sen’s been watching too much “Drive to Survive” and Rohit finally makes a good joke.

Also this week: Bubble Soccer, Terrorists, Hillsong, Go Karting and Ibrahimovic.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit.

TCB Debate: Inspired by the Presidential debates, the boys decide to argue like old men without the interrupting.

Carpark Karen

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we reach a very important milestone in both the podcast history and in our own personal lives. That's right, we’ve reached Episode 69. Kushagra, however, is again in mourning this week as our glorious leader, President Donald J Trump tests positive for coronavirus, which we discuss in great detail. We also hear Rohit and Miguel’s driving adventures before Sen recounts his run in with a rare Uber driver.

The always successful “Finish the Lyric” is back this week, despite both Rohit and Sen being abysmal at this game. This week the boys finish the lyric to iconic, lyrically complex songs from the 2010’s such as “Better Now,” “Someone You Loved” and “What Does the Fox Say?”

We end this week with an old classic in Out of Touch. As previously established on this podcast, the boys are very out of touch with the common man and this week’s edition is no different. This week the boys discuss haircut frequency and prices and what's the best Apple device to view your pay tv subscription on?

Also this week: Facebook Fan Page, Traffic Cones, Flexing Taxes, Ed Sheeran and Foxtel.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person.

Donut Domination

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is in mourning this week after discovering Schoolies had been cancelled for 2020 - he is currently on the Gold Coast partying with other Toolies. Despite this tragic setback, the rest of the boys have picked up the slack in this week’s episode. We start with an update from our friend Jack from last week, before critically analysing the trials and tribulations of the Triwizard Shorenament.

Sack whacking, turkey slapping, wet willying and cupcaking sound like a regular Tuesday night for the Critical Banter boys, but for the lads at Shore it was a matter of life and death in the Triwizard Shorenament. Other challenges included public nudity, public defecation and eating a live small animal (i.e. duck/wombat/alpaca). We also recount other famous muck up day stories and more recent muck up day examples.

“The Spelling Bee” is back this week, and as per usual the boys are asked to spell the most outrageous and niche words Rohit could find on Urban Dictionary. This week’s words are as strange as ever, as both Miguel and Sen struggle their way through this segment, with both boys failing this test.

This week ends with the always popular “Cuck or Be Cucked.” In this edition, Rohit recounts his very own story of his cucking before we dive into a listener submitted cuck. Both cucks are of epic proportions, with one particular cuck being awarded the highest ever amount of cuckatoo’s in this show's history.

Also this week: Silly Salmon, Casual Racism, Mirai Nikki, Krispy Kreme and Table Tennis.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Spelling Bee: In this segment, the boys do their best impression of Indian American teenagers as they guess the spelling of Urban Dictionary words.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Breadth, Intricacy & Depravity

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra, fresh from the Anti-Lockdown protests, joins us for this week's episode as we begin with a number of updates. We get an update from lovestruck Liam, who was featured in last week’s episode, as well as an update on the great sauce debate, revealing the results from the midweek Instagram poll.

Finally we end with an update from Eggboy, who’s undertaken an ambitious rebranding to become Australia’s Deepak Chopra, leading to a philosophical question - how does one become a motivational speaker?

Literally nobody asked for it, but “Stockholm Syndrome” also makes a return, despite popular demand. This week the boys have to guess between IKEA products and Swedish NBA players. Needless to say, this segment will not be returning any time soon.

Finally this week, we end with the old faithful, “Dob in a rare unit,” and this week the listeners have gone above and beyond, providing us with some truly rare specimens. We also get our first listener email, with this particular listener sending in an X-Ray as evidence. However, before we delve into the listener provided rare units, Sen dobs in one of the other boys for some incredibly odd behaviour.

Also this week: Matchmaking, Slavery, Whiz Fizz, Waffle Stomping and Budweiser

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and NBA players.

Friend Zone Is My Religion

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kush’s student visa extension request was denied this week and as a result he misses the episode due to him being currently on the run from the Department of Immigration - we wish Kush all the best in his endeavours. Back to the episode, and this week we begin with an update from Miguel and Rohit regarding their fitness challenge. We then read some hate comments from our ice-cream tier list, before we talk about sauce again.

“What is the Question?” makes a return this week with Sen setting the boys some difficult answers to respond to, leading to Rohit producing one of the all time great questions in this segment’s history.

Finally, we end with the fan favourite “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable,” with a few interesting stories sent in from listeners. We begin by helping Liam with his adventures in the friend zone, as the love guru Rohit assures him the friend zone isn’t the worst place to be. Secondly we help Angel with many of his problems, none of which seem to be relationship based.

Also this week: Maxibon, Kim Kardashian, Wheel of Fortune and kneecaps.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

What is the Question?: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than four very single blokes.

What Are You Doing Step-Bro?

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we talk about incest as Kush graces us with his presence. Kush returns and we discuss incest, coincidence? Probably. After dissecting the nuances of incest and incestuous marriages, we then talk about incest through the lense porn and we ponder the plight of the father of modern day porn, Ron Jeremy. We end with a quick chat about the fraud that is David Blaine.

Next we bring back “Bullslut,” with this week's edition featuring challenging topics such as Hip-Hop artists, Shakespeare plays and types of clothing, with the game ultimately being decided with musty Jungle knowledge. A certain cheese brand that shall not be named, also gets mentioned this week.

We end this week with the always controversial segment, “Compare and Contrast.” This week we rank iconic Australian ice-cream. On a Critical Banter first, all 4 boys achieve a consensus on something, with everyone agreeing on a certain ice-cream being the GOAT Australian ice-cream. The boys feel completely indifferent about all other ice-cream ranked in this segment.

Also this week: Step-sisters, Hannibal Lecter, Coon, Hamlet and having a gay time on your own.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

How to Urinate in 2020

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Unlike your dad who went to the shop to get milk and never came back, The Critical Banter Podcast returns as promised - jam packed with classic tales of debauchery such as mild hiking and speeding fines.

However, we are once again missing fan favourite Kushagra, whose disappearance suspiciously coincides with the public surfacing of the various charges held against his notorious moustache doppelganger Ron Jeremy - a coincidence we’ve been assured by his legal team.

This week’s episode kicks off with Rohit’s fight for his life as he fights off wild flora to reach his holy land - a lookout fit for his meticulously managed Instagram feed. We finally hear an interesting exchange story from Miguel (not including his exam shenanigans of course) where his substance consuming mate enjoyed an unknown powder found on the sticky dancefloor of a dark student nightclub.

“Law or Not” makes a triumphant return, as we cover a range of potentially fake laws from Canadian Artist quotas to the legalities of pockets on British women’s garments. It wouldn’t be a complete segment without shithousery, as Rohit fumbles the game and reuses previously covered laws.

We end this week’s episode with “Mind Your Manners”, analysing the awkward social situations you guys have sent in. In classic Critical Banter fashion, we visit the many intricacies of bathroom and urinal etiquette, including whether Sen was right to pee on the floor of an Airbnb in Phuket.

Also this week: Racist brands and foods, Arabic Joe, concealed carry, speeding fines and dogging the boys.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Law or Not: The boys delve into some laws and determine what is real and what is not the law.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Gypsies, Poles & Bumholes

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +1000

The good times continue to roll on here at Critical Banter, as Kushagra is still missing this week, presumably too tired after his hotel quarantine security guard shifts. This week’s episode begins with Sen’s epic saga entailing his car, the NRMA and $500. We then revisit our 2 favourite topics: sauce and racist food names.

“The Price is Right” also makes it’s long awaited comeback this week, as we head to Gumtree Poland for this edition. This week the boys learn about the Polish Zloty, discuss Dora the Explorer and discover how much a bag in Warsaw costs.

We end this week’s episode with a new segment “Another Man’s Treasure,” where we attempt to fix the sorry state of Australia reality television. This week we put forward a cheeky spin off of The Masked Singer, with 100% more anuses, as well as a more dicey version of The Bachelor.

Also this week: Gypsies, Swiper No Swiping, Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Urethra.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that we have come up with. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Gumtree to the nearest $10.

Another Man’s Treasure: We brainstorm ways to improve reality tv shows and even pitch our own show ideas.

Vladimir's Vodka Vaccine

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +1000

The boys, minus Kush, are back after surviving another week without being cancelled. This week’s episode starts with a conversation about the best/weirdest names and nicknames they’ve heard. We then discuss Putin’s corona cure before deep diving into the origins of sauce names.

“News or Not” makes a triumphant return this week as Miguel and Sen must decide if Rohit’s headlines are real or not. This week’s edition features cows, rams, Michael Jackson and MILFs.

We end this week’s episode with “Cuck or Be Cucked,” featuring 2 very different cucking stories. This turns out to be one of our darkest segments yet and for legal reasons, any advice we give in this segment is a joke.

Also this week: Rick Ross, wasabi, strip clubs, Neverland and Ellen.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

The Lesbian Manifesto

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +1000

In what seems to be a recurring theme with this podcast, this week we discuss yet another tyrannical rule and pay tribute to the Mongol sex deviant, Genghis Khan. The episode begins with Rohit trying to justify an act of petty theft (to no avail).

Then the boys pray to their Bill Gates overlord as they discuss Tik Tok’s looming and inevitable banning in the US before ending with a wholesome chat about sack whacking and anal fingering with Kushagra clarifying his personal stance on butt stuff.

We bring back “I Want to be a Billionaire” which leads to increasingly niche questions which leaves the boys stumped.

Finally we bring back a classic in “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable.” We get an update from Max last week before tackling some fan submissions which leads to some very sound and practical advice.

Also this week: John Hopoate, Aries in retrograde, Lesbians and the Communist Manifesto.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

I Want to be a Billionaire: In no way affiliated with “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” but very much works in the same way.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than four very single blokes.

Bush Bash & Hitler's Moustache

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Things get a little bit totalitarian this week on Critical Banter. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a dictator themed episode, and it most certainly won't be the last time either.

We begin with Rohit’s tale of Bush Bashing, which is just as fun as it sounds and suffice to say Rohit’s pampered middle class upbringing did not prepare him for the harsh realities of the Australian bush. We then end with a discussion about Victoria’s extreme Stage 4 lockdown rules as we discover some of the boy's dystopian views.

We also bring back a fan favourite segment, “Bullslut” this week. This week it's the reigning champion, Sen, up against first time player, Miguel. This week's edition covers a range of increasingly niche topics from dictators to hand sanitiser and everything in between.

Finally this week, we end with an old reliable segment in #AskTCB. We cast the net far and wide through Instagram, Tik Tok and our Google Doc (RIP) and have answered some of your best questions. In this edition of #AskTCB we discuss sensual grapes, ballsack logistics, Cristiano Ronaldo and assaulting Tik Tok fans.

Also this week: Kony, NIB Stadium, 2 Girls 1 Cup and Somalian pirates.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Vegemite is Right

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 05:00:00 +1000

The boys have been playing far too much Warzone as this week’s episode is packed full of musty Call of Duty references. This week’s episode begins with a risque chat about a certain cheese brand that shall not be named, as Sen and Rohit open themselves up for cancellation.

We also talk about the sheer commercialisation of coronavirus where Rohit admits he almost spent $150 on a metal ball. We also get yet another, and almost weekly, rant from Kushagra - this week about useless subjects in high school.

This week we also bring back the classic segment “Would You Rather.” No game of “Would You Rather” is complete without at least one penis question and ours is no different as we analyse the nuances of having a massive dong.

The segment proves to be a rollercoaster of emotions as this podcast proves to be the only one in the world that can go from contemplating child molesters to suddenly becoming very introspective about reliving cherished memories or taking a glimpse into the future.

Finally we end this week with a new segment, “Rip On or Rip Off,” which is really just an excuse for Rohit to complain about how expensive Korean BBQ is and is thus a Rip Off. Rohit passionately, and almost certainly offensively, explains his hatred of Korean BBQ, before we explore other concepts that we deem to be Rip Offs including paintball.

Also this week: Coon compilation, Jesus indoctrination, penis analogies and Rambo.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Would You Rather: The boys are presented with hypothetical questions and have to choose which option they’d rather.

Rip On or Rip Off: A segment where 4 cheapskates decide if certain ideas are a scam or not

Choking & Shaking

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 05:00:00 +1000

As parts of Australia begin to head back into lockdown amid the dreaded second wave of Coronavirus, here at Critical Banter we’ve gone in the opposite direction as Kush has finally left his house for the first time in months.

To begin this week’s episode we discuss face masks, twitter hacks and the state of Australian TV where things get a bit personal between Kush and Rohit. Finally we end the segment with a classic chat about simps as one of the boys parks the bus and defends their actions.

“Finish the Lyric” makes a somewhat triumphant return to the podcast this week after a few months in the wilderness (mainly due to Sen and Kush’s shambolic effort in the first edition of this segment). This time around, however, Rohit joins the boys and the songs are heavily catered to the boys' niche, and questionable taste in music - it was impossible for the boys to stuff this up.

We end this week’s episode with a new segment, “Not All Heroes,” where we recount epic tales of unlikely heroes and individuals who have had to step up to the plate in a time of need. In this inaugural edition, Sen steals his coworker’s story of greatness in High School, before Rohit somehow tries to make himself the hero of a story regarding domestic violence. Safe to say neither stories contained any actual heroes.

Also this week: Sri Lankan Dick Pics, Simps, Jungle and The Shaker.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Not All Heroes: In this segment we pay tribute to the average Joes and true blue everyday battlers who stepped up when needed.

Jellyfish Hot, Toasters Not

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we pay tribute to our brown brothers and sisters in America. No, we don’t apply for Med School or join a bhangra team, instead we partake in the time honoured Indian tradition that is the Spelling Bee.

As per usual however, we begin the episode with the Logue. This week we look at Victoria and how they’ve single handedly screwed, pardon the pun, the rest of the country over. We also look at how even 2 of the world’s mightiest leaders have succumbed to the old rona.

Rohit then recounts his epic battle with his high beam, which then leads to an incredibly niche, and almost savant-like, 5 minute rant from Kushagra as he lists his most hated features about certain software programs and, of course, his toaster.

Next up, we play the aforementioned Spelling Bee, with a twist. Instead of spelling normal words, we attempt to spell words from Urban Dictionary, which goes as well as you can imagine. While we won’t be winning any spelling bee’s any time soon, we can at least now adequately describe Rohit’s attraction to jellyfish.

Finally we end with Mind Your Manners, where we analyse some corona scenarios and the etiquette surrounding them, “how long do you really need to wash your hands for?” Rohit also puts forward his awkward scenario and whilst we do outline the appropriate etiquette involved, the verdict is still the same: Rohit is a cheapskate.

Also this week: Moey DW, Adobe Acrobat, Bropocalypse and Jellyfish fetishes.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Urban Spelling Bee: In this segment, the boys do their best impression of Indian American teenagers as they guess the spelling of Urban Dictionary words.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don'ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Getting Chased: Debt Collectors & Golden Retrievers

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we’ve got the entire gang again for a second consecutive week. Having all four members of this podcast on for back to back weeks is considered to be a modern day miracle for this podcast. We begin this week with some potentially devastating news for some members of this podcast as well as probably most of our listeners - the future of Tik Tok in Australia. We also discuss a potential Kanye 2020 Presidential run before Rohit exudes his usual rareness, this time with a story of him galavanting through Sydney’s CBD with a chair.

We then introduce a new game “Two Truths, One Lie,” an unsuccessful sequel to the seminal “Two Girls, One Cup.” In this game we learn some interesting and some very mundane facts about the boys as Kushagra inadvertently reveals a significant mental disorder.

Finally we end with “Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable,” because it has been far too long since we have given relationship advice on this podcast. This week we delve into privacy issues and how many times does it take to perfect a proposal?

Also this week: Weird flexes, Dutch debt collectors and virtual concerts.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Two Truths, One Lie: The boys give the others 3 statements, 2 which are true and 1 which is a lie. The others must work out which one is the lie.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than four very single blokes.

High School Crushes & Cringes

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week marks the much overdue moment long awaited by fans across the world, and it’s not Liverpool winning the Premier League title, but rather Kushagra’s back on the podcast. To mark his triumphant return, we discuss key issues ever present in the societal zeitgeist, such as whether it is appropriate to laugh at someone gagging over a Coronavirus test and what coffee brand George Clooney has shamelessly promoted over the years.

This week also marks the return of the game that could single handedly cancel the podcast and individual careers of the boys, What is the Question. As Kush fumbles his role as Game Czar, unable to comprehend questions over 5 words in length, the boys needlessly provide more ammunition to get them in hot water such as questionable Covid-related humour, oddly specific personal attacks and casual racism.

With the return of 2 fan favourites proving to be too much work for the boys, the episode ends with Answer Reddit. In what was meant to be a light-hearted discussion of Reddit’s most burning questions, the segment turns into an expose into Miguel and Rohit’s dating lives. We finally come to understand why they have been single for so long, exposing their questionable nitpicking when it comes to a partner as well as their embarrassing high school encounters with the opposite gender.

Also this week: Novak Djokovic, Dev Patel, stealing from a pawn shop, Mormons & celery.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

What is the Question?: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit and provide your own answers!

The Greats: Mia Khalifa & Marcus Rashford

Wed, 24 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week is all about Mia Khalifa, finally. It only took a year, but this podcast has finally reached the depths that we all knew it was capable of. Kushagra, an ardent Mia Malkova fan, boycotts this week's episode as Sen, Miguel and Rohit all wax lyrical about Mia Khalifa and ponder her place in the pantheon of adult film star greats.

After spending a bit too much time talking about Mia Khalifa, the boys decide to continue with the rest of the episode as we discuss Marcus Rashford, Frankie the Fox and Rohit’s quarter life crisis cat in The Logue.

We also bring back a fan favourite in News or Not, which leads to theological questions regarding pandas and the boys learn about Kosher lube.

Finally we end with Mind Your Manners as we delve into dog bounties before Rohit passionately rants about his hatred of paying for parking (and public transport).

Also this week: Marco van Basten, Ohio, Polygamous Pandas and hostage videos.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don'ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

The Pepper Press

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Kushagra misses this week’s episode as he instead chooses to deface and pull down statues of Captain Cook around Sydney. Unfortunately for him, however, he misses our most existential episode yet, as the full effects of isolation and Coronavirus become evident.

We start this week's episode with a pop quiz on the mustiest countries in the world, before Rohit reveals the full extent of his ongoing quarter life crisis which has led to a very expensive purchase.

We also discuss the kinds of “guy/girl” you can find in your modern day workplaces and how you should just blatantly change your personality to fit in at all costs.

Despite no demand, we also bring back “Usernames” this week - and it’s just as shambolic as it was the first time.

Finally, the metrics for the much anticipated Miguel v Rohit showdown are revealed as the boys gear up for 6 months of blood, sweat and tears, all to avoid a swig of the 1.5 million Scoville units hot sauce, with the endeavour affectionately named 'The Pepper Press'.

Also this week: Paw Patrol, Saint Kitts and Nevis, 6ix9ine and Who’s got the smallest dick?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Usernames: In this game, the boys are given one word clues which they must use to guess another word the host is thinking of.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Scott Morrison: Cuck or Cuckee?

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +1000

What do Donald Trump and Kushagra have in common? They both spent significant time last week hiding in secret underground bunkers. Oh, and they both wear a toupee. Kushagra joins us this week live from his underground bunker, as we continue to record remotely.

This week’s episode starts with a “friendly” competition between Miguel and Rohit, in honour of the gym's reopening in Australia and yet another example of toxic masculinity on this podcast.

We then have the final instalment of The Best Friend Check as Sen asks increasingly obscure and musty questions relating to his motor vehicle ownership.

Finally, we bring back the classic segment, Cuck or Be Cucked, where this week we analyse ScoMo’s latest skirmish as well as a scenario involving a homeless person, leading to a very unfortunate comparison.

Also this week: 4 day weeks, Eagle Boys, baby Hitler and Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

The One with Kush

Wed, 03 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +1000

The good times just keep rolling on here at the Critical Banter podcast and this week is no different. Australia has begun lifting Coronavirus restrictions, however the boys continue to insist on recording virtually, fearing a second wave or a Chernobyl-like event.

Like every week, the episode begins with the Logue and we cover important stories from the week like Cumgate and Kmart in Mecca, before diving into some of the scams that we’ve fallen for or have witnessed.

We also have the third edition of the Best Friend Check, with Kushagra stepping up to the plate. To everyone's surprise, however, the scores are actually higher this week as the boys finally prove they know a thing or two about each other.

Finally, we end with a segment looking at some of the most widespread and universal stereotypes and dissect whether there is any truth behind them, all the while avoiding any casual racism (for a change).

Also this week: SpaceXXX, Dentist scams, Dua Lipa and school shootings.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Stigmas and Stereotypes: The boys explore and debunk (or confirm) some commonly held stereotypes and beliefs.

The Redemption Burrito

Wed, 27 May 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week we recount the epic conclusion to our month long Mexican saga - the story of #TheRedemptionBurrito.

The episode starts with a discussion about dole bludgers and the biggest mistakes made at work before we turn our attention to the hate aimed at us on Facebook for our chip tier list from last week’s episode.

Instead of apologising, we decided to do a Kevin Spacey and double down, replying to several commenters with snarky insults and thinly veiled death threats, just an all round mature way of dealing with valid criticism.

Next up with the best friend check is Miguel and much like last week we soon discover that there is only one real friend amongst the boys. We end this week’s episode with the much anticipated showdown between Guzman y Gomez and Mad Mex, a Mexican standoff if you will.

We put the two Mexican fast food joints to the test with our various metrics and a winner is declared. We’re not quite sure what the point of all this was, but we did prove you can indeed get a free lunch (as long as you publicly shame the fast food chain on social media).

Also this week: Bill Gates, sack whacks and Nepalese pirates.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

Ranking Australian Chips Tier List (CONTROVERSIAL)

Wed, 20 May 2020 05:00:00 +1000

Big episode this week as Kushagra graces us with his presence once again. We begin this week’s episode with a call to arms to our Chinese overlords for some sweet podcast money, because normal sponsorships with Audible and Dollar Shave Club aren’t communist enough for our liking.

We then take a stroll down memory lane when Rohit quizzes the others in a game based on facts and events from his past, and we soon discover who Rohit’s true friends are. Finally, we end the episode with a fan favourite segment “Compare and Contrast” where we debate and rank famous Australian chips.

What should’ve been a fairly straightforward tiering system descends into utter chaos as a full blown, heated 20 minute discussion about the nuances of chip shapes, nutritional value and nostalgia takes place. In the end, all that remained was a bottom heavy list, inconsistent metrics and broken dreams.

Also this week: Salt and Vinegar blasphemy, Subway orders and the statute of limitations on spoilers.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Best Friend Check: The boys test each other on their friendship and try to expose how little they actually know about each other.

How to Survive Ethnic Cleansing

Wed, 13 May 2020 05:00:00 +1000

As we enter the quarantine home stretch, the finish line appears within reach and the smell of kebabs in a Sydney park on a cold Autumn afternoon wafts in our general direction. The question on everyone’s mind, “Will the boys make it out of isolation with their sanity intact?” Well, if this week’s episode is anything to go by, the answer to that question is a resounding no.

This week we officially* become a Mad Mex endorsed podcast as we bow down to our Mexican overlords. The episode begins as we revisit enemy of the podcast, Equatorial Guinea, we then provide an update on our ongoing feud with Guzman y Gomez before revealing that, much like Moses on Mount Sinai, God (Eddie Woo) appeared before us on Twitter.

The boys then delve into life and death scenarios, proving once and for all that ethnics could’ve survived the Cronulla Riots before ending on a game which explores fun topics like midgets, Jews and child labour.

Also this week: Pete Evans, Dele Alli is Indian and where is the International Space Station?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Against the Odds: The boys discuss the nuances of various life and death scenarios providing a template on how to survive your next one.

What is the Question?: The boys are presented with an answer and they have to guess what the question is - the most humorous answer wins.

Revealing Miguel's Tinder Pickup Lines

Wed, 06 May 2020 05:00:00 +1000

As life in Australia slowly returns to some semblance of normalcy, the Critical Banter Podcast continues its rapid descent into madness. This week we pick up where we left off last week with some risque chat about children, however, this week we are finally joined by Kushagra, who is absolutely, definitely not a groomer.

The episode begins in typical fashion talking about Wuhan, Latrell Mitchell and likening ScoMo to Hitler before waxing lyrical about Eddie Woo and besmirching the scum that is Guzman y Gomez. We also play a game of “Would You Rather,” where Sen ponders the opportunity cost of being a pedo and Rohit lusts over his 6 year old cousin. Finally we scrutinise some of Miguel’s Tinder pickup lines where we soon discover that Kushagra has fundamentally misunderstood the point of Tinder.

Also this week: Mike Tyson, Smash Mouth, #WootubeTo1Mil and #BoycottGYG

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Would You Rather: The boys are presented with hypothetical questions and have to choose which option they’d rather.

Rate My Chat: What’s better than having 3 single blokes rip into other single blokes attempts at courting women.

Grooming: An Exposé

Wed, 29 Apr 2020 05:00:00 +1000

This week on the show we delve deep into one of our favourite topics: grooming. Due to legal reasons resident groomer Kushagra misses out this week, but nevertheless the boys still dig deep and explore this time honoured concept.

The episode begins with us righting a wrong from last week, before we solemnly eulogise our fearless leader Kim Jong Un. We then theorise an NRL Big Brother, we give out some sound relationship advice and Rohit comes to the realisation that Eddie Woo is the one true Lord and Saviour in his life (sorry Jesus).

Also this week: Donny’s cure, Stan Wawrinka, Sen is a flake and shopping trolley tetris.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than three very single blokes.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

What Did We Learn: As per usual, the boys cap off the episode with a useless nugget of information. This time, they leave you with something they learned during the week (which you all probably already knew)

How to Simp (with Yeezy Is The God Within My Religion)

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:00:00 +1000

It’s the crossover that nobody asked for, but one that weirdly fits this chaotic, post-rona timeline that we live in. Nevertheless, this week the boys are joined by Australia’s premier shitposter, Archie, the man behind the Yeezy Is The God Within My Religion Facebook page and the YITGWMR podcast.

This week's episode starts off with an enlightened discussion about Cocaine Cassie and her place in the pantheon of great Australian drug smugglers, where we disgustingly overlook the Bali 9’s influence on the industry. Then, Archie joins the boys where he recounts stories about simping, run-ins with Australian politicians, terrible fan tattoos before proclaiming his love for Kevin-07.

Also this week: Schapelle Corby, Guess shirts, afro darts and how dumb is the average Australian?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Reach Around: Like good interviewers do, the boys get around their guest and learn a bit about them in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Yeezy or Shitposting: The boys have to decide if the given quote is a Kanye West tweet or a Facebook shitpost.

You can find Archie here:

Rohit Fingered Who?

Tue, 14 Apr 2020 19:00:00 +1000

The boys have well and truly adjusted to life in quarantine and recording remotely, just in time to be presented with an Easter miracle, the release of Curious George, friend of the podcast. Catholics around the world rejoiced, as children around Australia were handed another reason to stay indoors, as a menace bigger than Kushagra was back on the streets. (Coincidently, Kushagra was missing again this week, but he does tell us that Cardinal Pell sends his regards).

In non-nonce related discussion this week: faking logbook hours, bad pickup lines, a philosophical debate about Karen and a sick predator delightfully recounts the story of them anally penetrating their underage victim.

Also this week: $15,000 strobe lights, Deltora Quest, Rohit’s Harry Potter fetish and a terrible BBQ.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Timeline Time Machine: We take a trip down memory lane in this game as they boys try and guess their old social media posts.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit and provide your own answers!

Pregnancy: Earth's Deadliest Disease

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 19:00:00 +1000

It’s becoming harder and harder to imagine a timeline before Coronavirus; a time when a man could enjoy a kebab in the park without the fear of persecution, when you could buy 13 bottles of wine in one transaction and when women were seen and not heard. But alas, that time has passed and although the virus may have claimed our good friend Kushagra (RIP) this week, this was not the time for grim prognostications, instead we did what we do best - play games and complain about the world.

This week we whinge about a wide range of insignificant topics: viral April Fools pranks, not going outside, virtual lunches, baths, Instagram trends and stupid baby names.

Also this week: sex toys, bible verses, psychopathic tendencies and what is New Zealand’s capital?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

The Cure: Quarantine and Cow Urine

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +1000

It only took the Australian Prime Minister to beg and plead on National TV for a week straight, but the boys have finally taken social distancing seriously. But have no fear, if poor ratings and a lack of listeners didn’t stop us before, there was no way a little pandemic would. This week, Critical Banter goes remote as the boys stop making memes for a few hours to record this episode from all across Sydney.

This week we chat about Coronavirus, Rohit gives 2021 graduates some unsolicited advice, Sen shows off his party trick, Kush still has no hair and Miguel gets exposed.

Also this week: Pornhub Premium, paternal issues, cow urine, Shia LaBeouf and how young is too young?

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

I Want to be a Billionaire: In no way affiliated with “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” but very much works in the same way.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Thaman, The Myth, The Legend (with Thaman)

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Ignoring all advice from the World Health Organisation, medical professionals and their parents, the boys are back again with another episode. Despite all the fuss about social distancing, Sydney-based rapper Thaman drops by the recording studio to join us for this week's episode.

The boys try and lighten the mood by discussing the nuances and industry secrets on how to become a successful rapper, revealing the thoughts they've had in the shower (some of which were deemed not safe for life and excluded from the final cut) and exposing Thaman as he forgets his own lyrics - which he claims to have written.

Also this week: Coronavirus, performance enhancing drugs, the Money Dance, Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Shower Thoughts: The segment where we talk about those little epiphanies we have during our everyday lives that make us question our existence.

The Reach Around: Like good interviewers do, the boys get around their guest and learn a bit about them in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Word Association: Another game that exposes the boys' lack of musical knowledge. They are given a word and, within 10 seconds, must name/sing/rap a lyric containing that word.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Special thanks to our special guest Thaman, whose brand new single 'No Tension' is out Friday 27th March.

It's Corona Time

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +1000

It’s all over the news, infiltrating workplace chat, assaulting your family WhatsApp group and dominating the cultural zeitgeist; that’s right, it’s another week of COVID-19 banter from the boys.

As the world heads towards impending doom and toilet paper shortages, the boys decide to take a lighter look at Coronavirus before hearing a shameful karaoke display from Kushagra, lamenting other non-Coronavirus related bad weeks and finally cancelling many people and places.

Also this week: investing tips, Jake Paul, degenerate gamblers, wasps and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Finish the Lyric: A game where you finish the lyric.

Good Week/Bad Week: The boys discuss people in the news who have had good weeks or bad weeks.

Delete This: In honour of the modern day cancel culture, the boys discuss what other events, places or people should be cancelled.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

World War Loo

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +1000

This week is all about Coronavirus and toilet paper. Kushagra has mysteriously disappeared, presumably killed in a black market toilet paper related drive-by shooting, but alas the show must go on. Obviously reeling from the loss of Kush, Rohit struggles through the episode as he gives us his coronavirus survival tips before forgetting how numbers work and then stumbles through a story about Uber.

Also this week: Wuhan, balaclava’s, hand sanitizer, multiple gym passes and Pennant Hills Road.

Segments this week:

Global Reach Around: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist to the nearest $5.

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person

Dear Gladys: In this segment we vent our frustrations about the sorry state of Sydney and blame the most logical person, Gladys - Premier of NSW

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

How to Survive University

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Successful negotiations between Australia and Mexico sees Rohit triumphantly return to join the holy foursome of Critical Banter. This week, desperate first years and defeated fifth years alike descend on Universities across Australia, gearing up for another year of late night cramming, stress-fueled benders and group project shenanigans.

Unfortunately for first year students, it won’t be long until their hopes and dreams are dashed, as they discover that: 1. The girl that sat next to them will not be their future wife, 2. Their HECS debt will follow them all the way to the grave and 3. Working at the Big 4 will not fill the empty void where happiness once was, nor will it win you the love and respect of your friends and family.

Fortunately for them, this week's episode can numb this pain as Sen demonstrates his knowledge of STDs, Kush highlights his passion for train stations, Miguel clarifies his views on Mardi Gras, and Rohit lays the foundation of gender-neutral engineering.

Also this week: Spy Kids 4D, cancelling Ke$ha, university cults, disintegrating coins, and Vermouth.

Segments this week:

Global Reach Around: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Day One: Spooning and Sleeptalking

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Due to controversial comments made on last week’s episode regarding Mexicans, Rohit has been sent to North America on a diplomatic mission to fix Australia-Mexico relations. As such, this weeks episode only features Miguel, Sen and Kush as the boys once again revamp the episode format, in a way that can only be described as radical.

In this new format, the traditional reach around is now only confined to the boy’s private time, instead the episode begins with a global reach around, if you will, where the boys dissect the top stories, events and viral trends of the week. The segments, however, will remain the same as changing that would require actual thought and effort.

Also this week: Diamond Princess, dumps, Instagram photos, hotel rooms, trains and Ke$ha.

Segments this week:

Global Reach Around: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Usernames: In this game, the boys are given one word clues which they must use to guess another word the host is thinking of.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Well... That Sucks: At Critical Banter we like to enjoy other people’s misfortunes. So, in this segment we relive those moments and laugh at those people.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Critical Banter: The Return of the Sen

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +1000

The return of Sen marks an unbelievable time for The Critical Banter Podcast - as the boys are back together after six months of gallivanting. To mark this momentous occasion, Sen tells us how to insult old women in Italian, Miguel actually has stories of international nightlife, and Rohit almost becomes a smuggler for the cartel.

This week marks the introduction of TWO new segments (a Critical Banter first) as the boys rank Australian Fast Food 'restaurants' and tell their tales on how they've been kicked out - Sen from the holiest place on the planet, Miguel from the yuckiest place in Leeds and Rohit from his Airbnb up the Sydney coast.

Also this week: Schapelle Corby, the Cuban government stealing passports, the N-Word Pass, KFC's GOAT status, Red Rooster's existential crisis, communism, priests and breaking and entering.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Red Handed: The boys are feeling dicey as they decide to air the times where they break laws (rules) and for once pray that no one listens and rats them out.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Critical Banter: Miguel Strikes Back

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Sen is still MIA, but this week, we see the return of TCB's prodigal son: Miguel. Back from a long trip of academic gallivanting, Miguel literally has zero tales to tell. Rohit forgets how to operate a game, the long lost points tally remains in the Bermuda Triangle, and we introduce a new segment.

Also this week: plagiarism is okay, Sen's fetish for yellow snow, a whole lot of gloves, cold showers, and getting a nuke on Afghan in Modern Warfare 2.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and anything else.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Peaking Duck: The segment where we, at the grand old age of 22, look back on our younger, better selves, and realise that maybe, just maybe, we have already peaked in life

Fact of the Day: It's a fact of the day. Seriously.

Hiding Behind the Iron Curtain (with Dimitri Anatoli)

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Sen has disappeared, Miguel still loose in another country - another typical week for the boys. We're left with Rohit and Kush for a potentially intimate duo episode, but this week, we introduce our first and last Russian guest: Dimitri Anatoli (and his family). They discuss Russian politics, Vladimir Vysotsky, the Soviet National Anthem, and snakes under a toilet.

Also this week: Russian conspiracies, Domino's pranks, Pump water bottles, a McDonald's life budget, and Woolworth's Select Brown Sugar.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person.

Hot Takes: The boys let loose their wild opinions and takes of the world, but how hot is it? Jalapeno or a carolina reaper?

Fact of the Day: It's a fact of the day. Seriously.

The Truth about Coronavirus (with Kartik)

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 18:00:00 +1000

What do Rohit and Coronavirus have in common? They’re both annoying, Asian diseases, who have both recently reached Australian shores. To celebrate Rohit’s triumphant return from his Contiki through Cuba, we invite Kushagra’s brother, Kartik, onto the show to discuss all things Coronavirus. We also experience more early year rust, as the boys forget how their own game works, Rohit can’t count past one and Kartik fails to listen to simple instructions.

Also this week: geography lessons, international beggars, turmeric, carpark poopers, professional bad news bearers, Cuban DJ’s and Australian Open conspiracies.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist to the nearest $5.

It Should’ve Been Me: The boys recount some terrifying experiences from their past where they have (un)fortunately missed out on the sweet release of death.

Conspiracy Corner: As the Critical Banter name suggests, we encourage critical thought, so in this segment we deep dive into some of the most prominent conspiracy theories.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

My Dog has a Foot Fetish (with Glade)

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 18:00:00 +1000

With half the members of Critical Banter missing, we welcome back our first return guest: Glade. Not having recorded for a number of weeks, the boys are back for 2020 with a bit of rust, literally forgetting how their own podcast works. A substantial amount of WD-40 will be needed to get them back in shape. This weeks episode is also heavily movie themed, including 2 semi-serious reviews of Oscar nominated films as well as many musty movie references throughout.

Also this week: ankle balls, Kush’s logbook, extorting our guest, animal fighting scenarios, Mad Mex, thiccc books, Paul the octopus and dumb pig facts.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

20/20 Vision: A new year and new decade is upon us so the boys look into the crystal ball and share their hot takes and predictions for the future.

Trivia of the Week: As if listening to this podcast wasn’t mind numbing enough, the boys leave you with one last piece of useless information to end the show.

Cheating, Bullying & Necrophilia (with Maneesha)

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 18:00:00 +1000

Unlike the Oscars, here at Critical Banter, we honour women of colour and this week’s guest, Maneesha, is no different. Now that the pandering is out of the way Maneesha, like many of our guests, is an aspiring lawyer and is therefore morally corrupt and dishonest. This weeks episode takes us to many strange, perverse and new places - featuring discussions about prostitution, necrophilia and raping alligators.

Also this week: terrorist husbands, plane fraud, bold pick up lines, hall passes, emotional cheating and Good Life.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than very single blokes and a single gal.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Tip of the Week: Do you have a gambling problem? Are you numb to the pain that comes with watching an epic 16-leg multi fail in its last leg? Well, here at Critical Banter we are committed to helping you... win money for a change, with our Tip of the Week! (Critical Banter accepts no liabilities for any losses incurred)

2019: Year of the Pedo (with Nikhil)

Tue, 31 Dec 2019 18:00:00 +1000

It's 2020, a new year, a new opportunity, a new time to shine, and that means Critical Banter is of course, exactly the same. Joining the boys as they reminiscence over the year 2019 is Rohit's brother: Nikhil. He provides us with ample ammunition to humiliate and embarrass Rohit, leading to what only can be described as a classic brotherly feud.

Also this week: Greta Thunberg, Area 51 Raid, Spray Painted Polar Bears, Streaming Services, and "Baaaaa."

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Cream Me From Behind (with Matt)

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:00:00 +1000

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the boys are full of festive cheer. Joining the boys for this Christmas extravaganza, and to celebrate Jesus’s birthday, is a token white man; Matt. He provides us with some much needed diversity as he describes, in great detail, his family’s Christmas traditions, proving that you can have a White Christmas in Australia.

Also this week: colonialism, Banana Boat, Masterchef, Book of Genesis and toilet rare units.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Biblical or Blasphemy: The boys hear a poorly written description and must decide if it is a bible story or movie plot.

How To Kill Your Husband

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 18:00:00 +1000

The Critical Banter Bingo makes a triumphant return this episode as Rohit, Sen, and Kush mull over their past week. The bingo makes a strong start with various references to Kush and his affiliation to children in the reach around. From there, we rediscover Rohit’s childhood YouTube channel, cheating on exams and Kush’s misogyny before ending with a timely Hitler reference.

Also this week: Tik Tok, cyber bullying, IOU’s, dwarf tossing, UFC, HIV and Keanu Reeves.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Law or Not: The boys delve into some laws and determine what is real and what is not the law.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Conspiracy Corner: As the Critical Banter name suggests, we encourage critical thought, so in this segment we deep dive into some of the most prominent conspiracy theories.

Exposing our Tinder DMs (with Mel)

Tue, 10 Dec 2019 18:00:00 +1000

Believe it or not, we’ve got yet another female guest this week, with Mel. She's Rohit’s friend from exchange, and as we found out this week, is an absolute fiend for tinder. Join us this episode as we deep dive Mel’s tinder, which is far more active and entertaining than Sen’s.

Also this week: Bathurst, drugs, durries, vasectomies, melanin and North Korea.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Rate My Chat: What’s better than having 3 single blokes rip into other single blokes attempts at courting women.

Law or Not: The boys delve into some laws and determine what is real and what is not the law.

The Fart of War

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 18:00:00 +1000

The dynamic threesome return again this week to complain about all aspects of their miserable lives. This week we get an update on the life coach as the boys realise podcasting was the wrong decision. Rohit also completed his degree this week, leading to a passionate rant from Kushagra about Marketing group assignments featuring a certain Shribba.

Also this week: Isosceles Triangles, Hare Rama, Shrek2OnDVD, horny boomers, Sun Tzu, Skulduggery Pleasant and Baghdad.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Come Again: A simple game where a quote is read out of context, and the boys have to decide where the quote is from. This week: Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” or Avatar: The Last Airbender?

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Dynamic Threesome

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 18:00:00 +1000

After having guests consistently the past few weeks, we were unable to con anyone into coming on this week. Nevertheless, Rohit, Sen, and Kush are here to take you through their week and the many grievances they have. This week we revisit an old game, we laugh at some dumb people and we have an update from last weeks podcast.

Also this week: Chris Hemsworth, Tony Robbins, Davis Cup, nonces, feminazi’s, infidels and trams.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and Davis Cup players.

Good Week/Bad Week: The boys discuss people in the news who have had good weeks or bad weeks

Dumbass of the Week: Every now and then we’ll come across an individual so stupid that we have to present them on the show to make ourselves feel better

Good Tingle/Bad Tingle (with Priyanka)

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 18:00:00 +1000

Historic week for Critical Banter as we welcome our first female guest, Priyanka. We test the limits of reaching around a female, discovering a lot about Priyanka along the way, including her love of dogs, children, confrontation and balloons as well as a childhood crush on Anthony Calea.

Also this week: #NupToTheCup, old flames, gay knees, Kentucky Craigslist and our rarest unit yet.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist to the nearest $5.

Gypsy Fighting (with Knackers in the Breeze)

Tue, 05 Nov 2019 18:00:00 +1000

**DISCLAIMER: WE APOLOGISE FOR AUDIO ISSUES IN THE REACH AROUND INTERVIEW**

This week we are joined by a very special international guest: Ryan from the Knackers in the Breeze podcast.

Also this week: karaoke, girth, boats, paramedics, rugby and sleep.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off r/AskReddit and provide your own answers!

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Air Jesus

Tue, 22 Oct 2019 18:00:00 +1000

Kushagra makes his much anticipated return to the podcast, sporting facial hair that would make any white supremacist proud. This week is the holy grail for Critical Banter bingo as we cover all our favourite topics such as China, Jesus and cucking.

Also this week: Thicc dogs, Air Max’s, Sandeep the Creep, Joker and relationship advice that sounds suspiciously similar to the plot of Room.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Deep Dive with Ro and Sen

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 18:00:00 +1000

Things get cute at Critical Banter this week in our most intimate episode so far. Kushagra fails to show up, presumably taken by Chinese government officials, leaving Sen and Rohit up to their own devices. What ensues is 30 minutes of inane, pointless, pseudo-intellectual dribble, or what we call a normal conversation.

Also this week: we love China, talentless kids, the peak of humanity, dodgy air plane cleaners, fat shaming and relationship advice.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Good Week/Bad Week: The boys discuss people in the news who have had good weeks or bad weeks.

Unsolicited, Unqualified and Uncomfortable: Having relationship issues or need some advice regarding your relationship? Well, who better to give advice than two very single blokes.

Desperate Times (with Isaac)

Tue, 08 Oct 2019 18:00:00 +1000

Another week and another change in personnel as we welcome special guest Isaac Joshi on for Kush. One could consider Isaac to be a bit of a rare unit and this week we discover the extent of his rareness.

Also this week: Rohit gets desperate, daylight savings, baddies, Rohit debuts his Soundcloud mixtape, meme conspiracies and much more.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Turn Up or Turn Off: The boys are presented with lyrics and they must determine if they are actual rap lyrics or made up nonsense.

Conspiracy Corner: As the Critical Banter name suggests, we encourage critical thought, so in this segment we deep dive into some of the most prominent conspiracy theories.

Check out Isaac here: https://www.instagram.com/isaac_joshi/

Someone is Leaving?

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Sad week at Critical Banter as we bid farewell to one of our own (don’t worry, he’ll be back). It is said in life that, “when one door closes, another one opens,” to be honest we’re not sure what that actually means or if it’s even relevant, all we know is that Kush might have to start showing up now.

Also this episode: the chilli sequel, tipping in Australia, Rohit denies the holocaust, our saddest cuck yet and the longest #AskTCB question.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Also this episode: casual misogyny, mouth clits, Soulja Boy, PC culture, Android inferiority and high school rare units.

The Holy Cuck

Tue, 03 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +1000

This week Rohit does something that no one has done before - he had an exciting time in Canberra, without going to Questacon. Our recording schedule is thrown into disarray as Rohit spends his weekend galavanting around our nation’s capital, forcing us to record on a weekday. As such, Kushagra dogs the recording and his graduation, in an episode with more sacrilege than a George Pell trial.

Also this week: tracking your kids, Craigslist Chicago, zip formations, bribing your grandparents and historical cucks.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist to the nearest $5.

Mind Your Manners: The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Amazonia: Who Cares?

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Is it a coincidence that the week Rohit comes back from his quarantined state, our audio also goes tits up? Yes it definitely is a coincidence, but alas, Rohit is back and our audio is cooked and we apologise for both. The scope of this week’s episode is far reaching, from teenage genital flashing to shoestring fries and everything in between, we discuss it all.

Also this week: Rohit is a bad samaritan and victim blamer, a failed game segment, bad whiskey, Pauline Hanson and, finally, the death of Equatorial Guinea’s democracy.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Kiribati: Rohit tests the boys knowledge, or lack thereof, with a simple game based on fun facts.

Overrated/Underrated: This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Dumbass of the Week: Every now and then we’ll come across an individual, or group of individuals, so stupid that we have to present them on the show to make ourselves feel better.

Remembering Ebola

Tue, 20 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Very solemn and scary week at Critical Banter, as the severity of Rohit’s illness reached near fatal. Despite the sombre mood, the rest of the boys donned their surgical masks and soldiered on, to bring you another entertaining 18 minutes (yes we know the episode was 30 minutes, only 18 were entertaining).

Also this week: Hong Kong, Cardi B, Conor McGregor, foot fetishes, jury duty and paedophiles.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Turn Up or Turn Off: The boys are presented with lyrics and they must determine if they are actual rap lyrics or made up nonsense.

Good Week/Bad Week: The boys discuss people in the news who have had good weeks or bad weeks

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Everybody Loves Mao Zedong (with Jeffrey)

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +1000

This week, like most of Western Civilisation, we pander to China by welcoming special guest Jeffrey Yin, and his archaic opinions, onto the podcast. Rohit is also back, as we spend this week getting to know a man whose views are more aggressive than his driving.

Also this week: Swedish names, gender talk, dodgy Chinese restaurant practices, Australian financial market regulations and a brief, yet nuanced, chat about the intricacies of China and Taiwan’s tumultuous 100 year relationship.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and Swedish people and landmarks.

The Dog Fight (with Rohan)

Tue, 06 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Is Critical Banter getting a dog? Well, in a symbolical, abstract sense, yes. But in a more literal, correct way, no. Nonetheless, we invite Rohan onto the show, filling in for Rohit who conveniently forgot he had other plans. Kushagra also makes his triumphant return to the podcast to confront his greatest enemy, actually showing up to things. He must also face the man who has lampooned and lambasted him for consistently flaking, as Kush and Rohan sort out their beef live on air.

Also this week: What is balanitis, Rohan’s views on immigration, we have some legal chat, Kush doesn’t shut up about the Nuremberg Rallies and first ballot hall of fame paedo’s.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Law or Not: The boys delve into some laws and determine what is real and what is not the law.

Banter Reviews: The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Size Doesn't Matter

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Famously a teacher once told us, “Boys it’s not about the length, it’s all about the girth,” and this week we explore this time-honoured motto. Rohit, in a story that is near and dear to his heart, ponders the plight of the anatomically challenged members of society.

Also this week: acts of fraud, selling your wife, casual racism, terrorist references and more rare units.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Craigslist to the nearest $5.

Osama Bin Segments: Get a behind the scenes look at the creative process as we discuss binned segment ideas. Also we’re probably on some sort of watchlist now.

Clubbing Gone Wrong (with Ned)

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Our show has often been accused of being a bit “dumb,” so in an effort to shirk this unwanted perception and improve the legitimacy of our show, we have overcompensated and invited an actual doctor (student), our good friend Ned, onto the show.

As you do when you have a man of great intelligence and academia, we spend an uncomfortable amount of time this episode talking about reaching around each other and the implications of being cucked.

Also this week: Sydney is racist, Rohit eulogies Instagram, Sen gets dobbed in and America is strange.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

News or Not: With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Cuck or Be Cucked: Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

Men are Oppressed

Tue, 16 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Yet another week of an absent Kushagra and suddenly familiar feelings of neglect and deep-seated abandonment issues are stoked within the boys, leading to an existential crisis. In this weeks episode the boys question the purpose of life, the purpose of religion and the purpose of side-view mirror cameras.

Also this week: we get a rare unit update, Rohit knows what Rohypnol is, Kiribati is underwater and we discuss survival tactics in the Hunger Games.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Kiribati: Rohit tests the boys knowledge, or lack thereof, with a simple game based on fun facts.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Tip of the Week: Check out our American mates for all things football at http://instagr.am/the.fa.show

Asians are Overrated

Tue, 09 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +1000

The boys, minus Kushagra, are back and this week we pay tribute to the rare units. Whilst it could probably be argued that all the members of Critical Banter display some level of rareness, the boys still try their best to dob in some rare units.

Also this episode: marijuana related shenanigans, dodgy Gumtree ads, and a sketchy underwear transaction before #AskTCB descends into Asian race baiting and relationship advice.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

The Price is Right: This is definitely an original game that Rohit came up with on his own. Rules are simple: guess the price of some questionable items on Gumtree to the nearest $5.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

Tip of the Week: Do you have a gambling problem? Are you numb to the pain that comes with watching an epic 8-leg multi fail in its last leg? Do you often find yourself yelling at a TV screen after Steph Curry failed to register one more bloody assist? Well, here at Critical Banter we are committed to helping you... win money for a change, with our Tip of the Week! (Critical Banter accepts no liabilities for any losses incurred)

Fascist or Firebender

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Kushagra is back again after missing last week, as showing up 3 weeks in a row is far too much work for him. This week’s episode is the most ambitious in scale, covering topics from canned chicken to wife swapping and everything else in between.

Also this week: we get an Israel Folau update, Miguel recounts his epic battle with a bee, Kushagra rants about the state of Australian TV, and we discuss Rohit’s sparkling water pretensions before ending on a fun game about dictators.

Segments this week:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Good Week/Bad Week: The boys discuss people in the news who have had good weeks or bad weeks

Out of Touch: The boys discuss their own, or someone else’s, opinions or views which could be considered to be out of touch with the common person.

Come Again: A simple game where a quote is read out of context, and the boys have to decide where the quote is from. This week: famous dictator or Avatar: The Last Airbender?

We're All Going To Hell (with Glade)

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +1000

The boys are back, and, in honour of our guest Glade, this week it’s all about love. Whether it be the love between a man and Jesus, a man and another man or a man and his conjoined twin; love is love and we’re all going to hell.

Also this week: the boys start a gofundme in honour of Israel Folau, we answer some questions, Miguel hates democracy, Kushagra sounds awfully Asian and, like the degenerate gamblers that we are, we try Answer Reddit again.

Segments this episode:

Weekly Reach Around: Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their week’s events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

#AskTCB: Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions.

The Dog Act

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +1000

In what is surely a Critical Banter record, all 4 boys are back for a second consecutive week (god bless the Northwest Metro). As the episode title suggests, a few of the boys experienced an act so dog, they manufactured an entire segment just to shoehorn a five-minute rant about said dog act.

Also this week: more of Rohit’s tardy shenanigans, another contrived game, local conspiracies and even more Metro related stories.

Segments this week:

The Weekly Reach-Around (0:00): Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their weeks events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

News or Not (7:15): With fake news as rampant as ever, the boys delve into some headlines and determine what is real and what is not the news.

Mind Your Manners (14:17): The boys discuss the dos and don’ts and correct etiquette to help you out of your next awkward social scenario.

Conspiracy Corner (25:12): As the Critical Banter name suggests, we encourage critical thought, so in this segment we deep dive into some of the most prominent conspiracy theories.

Tip of the Week (31:12): Do you have a gambling problem? Are you numb to the pain that comes with watching an epic 8-leg multi fail in its last leg? Do you often find yourself yelling at a TV screen after Steph Curry failed to register one more bloody assist? Well, here at Critical Banter we are committed to helping you... win money for a change, with our Tip of the Week! (Critical Banter accepts no liabilities for any losses incurred)

Mission Impossible: Cuck Nation

Tue, 11 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +1000

All the boys are back for the second episode of our brand new podcast. This week we give you tips on how to alpha everyone around you, Rohit introduces a game and we answer some listener questions, where no question is too dumb.

Segments on week:

The Weekly Reach-Around (0:00): Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their weeks events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

#AskTCB (6:35): Listeners write in, the boys try their best to answer their questions. Send in your questions by using the hashtag #AskTCB, messaging us on our socials or using the link below

Kiribati (16:37): The boys test their general knowledge in a game so simple, even Rohit couldn't mess it up. They are presented people, places or things and are questioned whether they have heard of it - meaning they have to explain how they know it, or lie through their teeth with a bogus story.

Cuck or Be Cucked (22:05): Have you or your loved one been alpha’d recently? In this segment the boys give you tips on how to alpha those who have alpha’d you.

A New Hope

Tue, 04 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +1000

Welcome to The Critical Banter Podcast. This is it folks, its happening! We said we weren’t going to do it, nobody asked us to do it, but we’re doing it anyway. Despite popular demand, we’ve made a podcast!

Not many thought we would make it this far, in fact most wanted us to stop wasting our time and call it quits. Yet after an offseason of soul searching, we enter our podcast with fresh ideas, stolen jokes and an abundance of misguided optimism. Enjoy

Segments on this week’s episode:

The Weekly Reach-Around (0:00): Like good mates do, the boys get around each other and their weeks events in the most homoerotic segment in podcasting.

Overrated/Underrated (11:50): This segment is as simple as it sounds; the boys give their opinions on what they think is overrated in the world and what they think is underrated.

Banter Reviews (16:18): The boys “review” things and give them obviously logical ratings, to be honest we’re not even sure how this segment works.

Dumbass of the Week (28:42): Every now and then we’ll come across an individual so stupid that we have to present them on the show to make ourselves feel better.
