The Good Gays

Massive week for the pod as we welcome current professional footballer and Socceroo Patrick Yazbek onto the show. We learn all about Yaz's journey to professional football from early beginnings to making his professional debut and even representing his country. We hear some great yarns from his NPL days, as well as stories about the A-League, Norway and of course the MLS. All round just a fantastic chat with Yaz.___________________________________________________________YOU CAN FIND PATRICK HERE:📸 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/patrickyazb3k/⚽ ALL THE ANGLES | PATRICK YAZBEK GOAL vs NEW YORK RED BULLS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwPIn0O6Whc___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

King Kundra is still here gracing us with his presence. He begins this week with some yarns on Kundra Snr, including an update on the infrared vacuum and his negotiating skills. Kush and Migs had some run ins with fans, before we talk about El Jannah's sale to Private Equity and Ro met another bloke with 2 phones.For our game this week we have the "2025 Quiz" with Migs testing the rest of the boys knowledge on the events of 2025.We end with "Corporate Characters," where we discuss the archetypal characters you interact with on a daily basis at work and who you should avoid being / being seen with.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

The whole gang is back for the first time in a year. Kush’s got yarns out the wazoo including transport yarns (shoutout Sydney metro) and some dating yarns. Then we delve into animal rights as we discuss a real life reindeer on the Central Coast, live fish in restaurants and Sen saw a gnarly chicken video. We also chat La Mono, Betoota stepping on our toes, running stories, a hostage car and an infrared vacuum. We end this week with “Guess the Asian,” as we have listeners send in photos of themselves with the boys trying to guess what part of Asia they are from.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Ring a ding ding you've got the king - that’s right King Kundra is back in town and he’s gracing us with his presence. He’s got plenty of yarns with an update on his dad’s battle with Good Guys, a story about a new number, glazing halloween and then even more glazing of Air New Zealand. We end with some bashing of Sky Sports and a very tone deaf marketing campaign.We have some “Corporate Starter Packs,” which are some helpful survival tips and tricks for excelling in various roles in corporate.Our last segment is “Then & Now,” where we reminisce on the good old days of things in Sydney that probably don’t exist anymore.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Absolute ripper of an episode this week as we are joined by young gun cricketer Harjas Singh, fresh off smoking the third highest score in Sydney Grade Cricket history. We chat early beginnings in cricket, his meteoric rise, winning a World Cup, the triple hundred, his life outside of cricket and plenty in between. Overall a fantastic yarn with Harjas and of course had to play a quick game with him as well. Despite audio evidence to the contrary, Migs was in fact in this episode.___________________________________________________________YOU CAN FIND HARJAS HERE:📸 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/harjas.161__/🏏 314 RUN GAME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7u4s-gutlg___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

We're back with another ripper episode and thankfully for the listeners Manu is back as well. He brings some yarns including a religion based email sign off and a tale of going to Sculptures By The Sea. Sen went to Oasis, dobs himself for becoming an office yuppie and shouts out Nancy Pelosi and Mamdani.The game this week is "Price is Right," as Sen has Migs and Ro guessing the prices of various different subscription platforms.We end with "Things No one Says," with us reciting brand new sentences that have never been uttered by any other human before.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

This week is just Ro and Sen left to their own devices with no Migs to keep them in check. Sen kicks us off this week with a philosophical discussion on what “6-7” means with Ro providing little to no input. Sen then goes to town dobbing in one of his mates for being an absolute rare unit.The game this week is “Top 10,” with Ro testing Sen’s knowledge on various Top 10’s.To end this week we bring back “Corporate News,” with chat around some naughty behaviour at work that was unfortunately caught on camera and the Neo robot that can apparently do your chores for you.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Another week and more wedding chat with Sen bringing another yarn from Triple Cheese as a continuation of the yarn told last week. Sen also had a run in with a local drunk on the metro before being mugged off by a barista. Ro MC’d a wedding and also got mugged off by a local taxi driver.The game this week is “AI or Not,” as Ro and Sen work together to figure out which of the Shark Tank products Migs presents to them are real and which are AI generated.To end this week we bring back “What Your X Says About You,” as we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions including their profile pics, plane seat, what time they log off at and where they live.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Wedding heavy chat this week as Ro tells a tale of a wedding Instagram page and a case of mistaken identity. We find out some old high school lore regarding a wedding of an old schoolmate, while Ro has his own battles with his upcoming wedding. Finally Sen tells us a gnarly story of his friend in Vietnam.The game this week is “Search and Destroy,” which has nothing to do with the game mode in Call of Duty, but instead is a fun little game where the boys say a letter and category and the first person to name a word that fits both, gets a point.We end this week with “Agree or Disagree” with the boys testing some of their hot takes on each other as well as some of the hot takes submitted via Instagram.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

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 discuss Western Sydney Uni’s dismal security, Deloitte got caught using AI and Sora 2.We end with an old faithful - “Compare and Contrast,” as we tier list the best lunch spots in the Sydney CBD.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats
