Critical Banter

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 Se...

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...

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 t...

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...

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 ther...

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, includin...

 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 yar...

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 entertainin...

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 s...

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....

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. We’re back with...

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 t...

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 a...

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 Ques...

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...

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 h...

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 bo...

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 ou...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 “Gue...

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, “...
