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 o…

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…

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. F…

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 act…

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…

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 s…

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 cel…

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 th…

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 …

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 bu…

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…
  continue reading
 
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 wat…
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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 Ne…

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 join…

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 ca…
  continue reading
 
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 wher…

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 u…
  continue reading
 
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 naus…
  continue reading
 
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 bathro…
  continue reading
 
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 Am…
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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 h…

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 …

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 acc…
  continue reading
 
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 th…
  continue reading
 
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 spor…
  continue reading
 
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 Ma…

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 …
  continue reading
 
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 be…
  continue reading
 
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 t…
  continue reading
 
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 update…
  continue reading
 
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 the…
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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…
  continue reading
 
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 co…
  continue reading
 
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 discomfo…
  continue reading
 
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…
  continue reading
 
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 t…
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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 …
  continue reading
 
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 exchangi…
  continue reading
 
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…
  continue reading
 
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 ha…
  continue reading
 
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 qualificatio…
  continue reading
 
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 b…
  continue reading
 
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,…
  continue reading
 
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 i…
  continue reading
 
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 a…
  continue reading
 
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 tha…
