Critical Banter

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 dis...

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...

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 manufacture...

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 Patr...

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...

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...

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 t...

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...

 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 de...

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 L...

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 bi...

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...

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...

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 fi...

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...

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 thi...

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’...

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 f...

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...

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 “To...

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 s...

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 -...

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 simila...

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 id...

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...
