The Enigma

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

As the episode title suggests, the boys feel a bit Mormon this week. Miguel is fresh off seeing the musical and the boys swap stories of some of the heinous behaviour they witnessed whilst watching. The lads discuss the actual musical as well as the Mormon religion as a whole. Sen rants about a new registration system for amateur summer soccer and Miguel also witnessed some child abuse and a rogue way of eating Chinese delicacies.We are back with some “Blind Ranking” this week with some serious topics and some not so serious topics.We end with a slight mishap with Ro having to leave early due to an emergency leaving Sen and Migs up to their own devices - the smell of Pokemon Smash or Pass filled the room. Instead they discussed some football hot takes which could be very much Pokemon Smash or Pass territory.___________________________________________________________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 kick things off with more car based yarns this week as we have a listener voice note who reckons they are just as bad at Ro in terms of racking up parking fines. Sen also chips in with his egregious parking tales before Ro gives us an update on his car hunting as he goes all woke, looking for a hybrid. Migs then has a story of how he cowardly declined to help his cousin in need and Ro takes us home with a valuable lesson for life - always read the contracts you sign.Our game this week is the “Guess Who,” where Ro and Migs have to guess the famous person (real or not) using only 10 yes or no questions.We end this week with “Salary Transparency” as we discuss listener’s salaries and various salaries across industries.___________________________________________________________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
