Critical Banter

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:...

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, Sh...

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, femina...

Things get spicy at Critical Banter this week as we welcome Rohit’s ex, Cindy, onto the show. After realising we can Reach Around women, we get to know Cindy by discussing dogs, bushfires, male prostates and criminal records. We also discover what she saw in Rohit and what compelled her to date him for over three years. Also this week: arson, Movember, listener questions, Rare units, Critical Bant...

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 thi...

**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. We give Ryan one of our trademark reach arounds, getting to know his podcast better, before discovering his views on Brexit, Harry Kane, the IRA and Gypsies (shoutout to the Romanian community). Also this week: kara...

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...

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...

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,...

Backstreets back after a two week hiatus. With Miguel off on a 4 month sabbatical, Ro’s at the wheel, as Critical Banter (including Kush) return bigger and better than ever. To mark our triumphant return, this week we discuss penises. We talk suspiciously big dicks, dick ball, good urinal form and even a cheeky guest appearance. Also this week: cinema shootings, wedding stitch ups, hermaphrodites,...

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 sadde...

This week is all about the sauce. The boys recount their trip to the Hunter Valley including stories of hitting the sauce and other wine related exploits. There is also an epic tale of hot sauce consumption before ending on a passionate discourse about Rohit’s barbecue sauce fetish. Also this episode: casual misogyny, mouth clits, Soulja Boy, PC culture, Android inferiority and high school rare un...

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 t...

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 sama...

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...

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...

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 lamba...

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: Weekl...

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...

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 underwa...

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...

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...

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 degener...

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 m...

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. #...
