The Critical Banter Podcast

Praise the lord because Miguel is back! After last week’s shambolic effort from Ro and Sen, Migs is thankfully back to bring some much needed yarns from his trip to the Phillipines. We discussed Manila traffic, speaking the mother tongue, tourist scams, semi-legal gambling and much more.New and simple game this week called “Rank 5” where as the name suggests Ro gives the boys 5 options and they must rank them in whatever order he says.We end this week with our version of the Spotify Wrapped with “TCB Wrapped,” with a mix of real and made up statistics regarding our lives.___________________________________________________________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

After failing to learn from last week the 2 stooges are here again, running it back another week. Not much is going on in the boys' lives as we talk code freezes, Ro drops a life hack, Sen tells a story of a man almost getting bashed for no reason and we end with a chat about the social media ban.Got a new game this week with “The Linking Game,” which is ripped straight off Tik Tok. Simple game where Ro gives Sen a number and 5 categories that are all linked with that number. Sen’s job is to guess how each category is linked with the number.We end this week with a classic segment “Hypotheticals.” We’ve found the best hypotheticals on the internet (all of which are monetarily inclined of course) and do our best to answer them.___________________________________________________________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

Well well well it’s finally happened, this week it’s just Ro and Sen (aka dumb and dumber). They decided not to do a game and instead went yarn heavy, including Ro’s injured hand and a damning commentary on Australia’s GP’s. We also hear about his crazy experience in Bankstown, Sen went to a wedding last week and then went hyper karting before Ro finally reveals he is now an engaged man - talk about burying the lede.We do have a tier list this week with “Compare and Contrast.” This week we tier list corporate Christmas parties that our listeners contributed with some insane parties which include taking over a neighbourhood to some downright terrible ones featuring a self funded party at a local pub.___________________________________________________________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

Stop whatever you’re doing cause we have a massive episode for you guys this week as we are joined live and direct from San Francisco by the king himself Kushagra Kundra. With Kushy back we have a yarn filled episode as we of course talk about the US election and how people reacted over there. Kush then tells some tales of getting a phone plan, edging a shoe company, doing a SWOT analysis on a taser, buying some pepper gel and a rant on tipping culture. Migs shares a story of the wilderness as well as an interview mug off before Ro ends with a yarn about a former Masterchef winner.Our game this week is “Top 5,” as Migs and Kush try to guess Sydney’s most Chinese suburbs, the most spoken languages in Australia (other than English) as well as Sydney’s most liveable and dangerous suburbs.___________________________________________________________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

Miguel is nowhere to be seen as he continues to celebrate the Donald’s re-election. In Miguel’s absence, Raj (aka Triple Cheese) (aka Sen’s cousin) takes his place for his second appearance on the pod. We start with some Stay Dangerous’s, talk US politics, Pauline Hanson, Melbourne Cup, bathroom rare units and finally Sen has some mind your manners.Our game this week is “Guess Who,” both the cousins have very niche knowledge on useless things and people so Ro puts them to the test with a guessing game of famous people with some very cryptic clues.We end with the increasingly popular “Agree or Disagree,” a segment where we each have contentious opinions and see if the boys agree with us or not. This week we talk about how many interviews are too many, are concerts expensive, remote worker pay, road rules and are the hills boring?___________________________________________________________YOU CAN FIND TRIPLE CHEESE HERE:📱 IG: https://www.instagram.com/rajmurali8___________________________________________________________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

Quite an interesting episode this week and to kick us off Sen’s got plenty of yarns. He begins with a Marta update and then launches into a tale featuring his friend and a dog photoshoot which ultimately leads to a discussion on classic scams. Ro then dobs his dad in for some rare behaviour before Migs plays the UNO reverse and dobs Ro in.Our game this week is “Higher or Lower,” fairly straightforward where we have to guess which item from Amazon is more expensive for the first round and in the second round we guess which country has a higher population.We end this week with a new segment “Niche Habits,” where we discuss, as the name suggests, unique habits we (and the listeners may have). The boys discuss their own first including Migs’ interesting controller grip, Sen’s microwave obsession as well as waving to garage doors before we dive into the listener submissions.___________________________________________________________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

Big yarns this episode as we start with a recap of our latest TCB Tries escapade at Parra Lanes. Feel free to write in what you want to see us try next. Then Ro reveals he is a degenerate gambler as he bet everyone else’s money on a boxing fight he had no knowledge about. Miguel talks battle passes and loot boxes in real life in the form of the Mecca Beauty Loop. Finally Sen talks about US politics as we get around Aunty Kamala but secretly wonder if we could become millionaires if we went down the extreme right wing path.Our game this week is “Scattergories” with Migs and Sen going head to head in a number of categories including an impromptu football round as both prove their nerd status with really no one (including the listener) winning there.We end this week with the famous subreddit turn podcast segment “AITAH?” We read some of the best posts from this subreddit and provide our own input to ultimately decide if the writer of the post is indeed the AH or not.___________________________________________________________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

A huge episode this week featuring some very special guests as we are joined by Don and Cristian from “The Cheatcoders” podcast. As usual we begin by getting to know our guests, how they began their podcasting journey, how they deal with online hate, hobbies outside of podcasting and we hear perhaps our best ever rarest moment story.We put our new guests through their paces with our game “Bullslut.” It’s a 2v2 situation with both podcasts being pitted head to head for bragging rights and supremacy.Speaking of head to head, our final segment today is the aptly named “Head to Head.” Given our esteemed guests are some of Australia’s premier voices of the Filipino community, we thought who better to help us compare the Philippines with South Asia in a number of categories including tardiness, food and punishments. Miguel sounds and looks much more Sri Lankan in this segment.___________________________________________________________YOU CAN FIND THE CHEATCODERS HERE:📱 IG: https://www.instagram.com/thecheatcoders🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/thecheatcoders📸 CRISTIAN: https://www.instagram.com/see_garcia📸 DON: https://www.instagram.com/dondoingstuff___________________________________________________________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

Topical start to this week’s episode as we recount a story that happened over a month ago. Sen and Migs went footgolf recently and decided this was the week to regale Ro and the audience with that tale. Ro’s then got his own yarn from that same weekend, including a lavish meal, crab crackers and deceit. We briefly touch upon Sen’s favourite podcast (other than this of course) before Migs ends us with an extremely rare unit at the gym.We have a new game this week with “Minute Scrambled Eggs.” Ro gives the boys a topic after which they have 2 minutes to cram as much information from the Wikipedia page into their stupid heads as they can. Ro then tests the boy's knowledge with 3 questions based on the Wikipedia page.We end this week with one of our more popular segments “What Your _ Says About You.” This is just a segment where we profile people based on some broad categories and assumptions - this week has a corporate theme as we discuss email signatures, laptops, attire and zoom backgrounds.___________________________________________________________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

No clickbait this week, as the title suggests, we attempted to break a world record live on air. The Mr Potato Head dream still lives on, but this week the boys tried to beat the world record for the fastest time to drink a capri sun - a much coveted record. After that malarkey, we discussed the new metro and how it’s actually more of a nuisance than convenient. Finally Ro is in his property mogul era as he outlines his ongoing journey to purchasing a property.The game this week is the “TCB Spelling Bee.” What starts off as a relatively simple game, takes a turn to become increasingly difficult with us looking barely literate at the end.It’s tier list time to end us off this week with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” We asked you guys on instagram to give us your best work perks and now we’ve ranked them. Some of you have really good work perks whilst a lot of you need to find new jobs.___________________________________________________________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
