Critical Banter

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 exclu...

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....

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 recount...

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...

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 othe...

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 mo...

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 te...

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...

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 r...

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....

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 Aus...

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, befor...

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 “Bulls...

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 do...

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 w...

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. Thi...

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 a...

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...

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...

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 se...

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...

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 Kan...

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 s...

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,...

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 q...
