Back to regular scheduled programming, well for some of us at least. Ro & Migs in the studio for this week's episode - Sen & Kush both on annual leave without pay. Wrapping up the past couple of week's, Ro regales us of a tale where he has been cucked - once again whilst Migs recounts various stories on his most recent escapades overseas including one where he nearly lost his iPhone 17 Pro Max in the mean streets of Uluwatu, Bali and closing off the loop of whether he got a black suit for the black tie wedding he was invited to (spoiler: he did not). Other happenings include buying (potentially stolen) sneakers at the local wharf, getting swooped by magpies, AppleCare and getting mogged by fitness influencers in Bali. In good ol' fashioned TCB style, the boys play a game for this week's segment "Guess the Number". Premise is simple, they each have a number stuck on their foreheads which they can't see, and they must ask Yes or No questions to guess the number. Chaos ensues. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Long overdue guest this week, we welcome Justin Li, of Humans of Eastwood fame, to the podcast. We learn about all things Justin, from his background, to career in politics, to actual career, as well as all things Eastwood - how he gets the inside scoop on everything happening in and around Eastwood, the craziest submissions he's received on the Humans of Eastwood page & the lore behind the Granny Smith Apple. Justin also runs us through some Top 5s in his areas of expertise with topics including Top 5 Date Spots in Eastwood, Top 5 Hidden Gems in Eastwood and Top 5 Most Confusing Shopping Centres in Sydney. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Usual nonsense chat this week (disclaimer this was recorded a few weeks ago) including entertaining Ro's weird obsessions, more LinkedIn rants, NFL and GTA VI. We also do some "Quick Fire Tier Lists," which is always guaranteed to anger someone out there. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Whole lotta nothing to kick us off this week as Sen opens up the Pandora's box of understanding the other boys social media habits, including cheeky LinkedIn scroll's at work and the various environments where hitting a scroll is acceptable. Sen and Migs also share physio stories. We end with "Play On or Not," where we discuss if certain behaviours in a work setting are kosher 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Full time haters this week as Sen gets on his soapbox about the Sydney Marathon, leading to a lengthy discussion about the etiquette of wearing participation medals. We also talk Brisbane local government politics and suit shopping. We play the "Muted Draft," this week which starts off strong and then inevitable descends into chaos. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

One in, one out policy at TCB as Ro returns and Migs departs. Sen and Ro have some lovely yarns including engagements, a triumphant football season, responding to listener comments and recounting what can only be described as a hate crime. We are also joined by a special guest for our segment "10 to 1." ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Once again it's just Migs and Sen this week and once again the yarns go far and wide and at time incredibly niche. The boys also bring back "Rapid Fire Tier Lists," with some quick tier lists and given the personnel, of course there's a football one. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Just some light hearted yarns this week between Migs and Sen as we hear about upcoming travel plans, weddings, buying new TVs, documentaries, a fraud baker and getting fined twice. We're back again with a few more Top 10 lists this week. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Just Ro and Migs this week and Ro once against has found himself in a unique situation regarding gym memberships - how this man manages this is beyond us. We also talk lemon parties, dupes, lost air pods, FIFA corruption and a Chinese drama. And finally, back by popular demand, our tier lists are back this time in quick fire form as we continue to subvert genres on this podcast. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Great, now that the title caught your attention, we have a cracker episode in store this week as Ro announces he's finally out of his gym contract but now somehow into water polo. He then admits to also having no survival instincts, Sen saw a police chase and saw a stinker movie, Migs is in the market for a tv, we talk Odyssey, Kimi K3 and the World Cup final. We end with the "Highest Bidder Wins," with 2 of the lads going head to head, tasked with trying to create the best 5 of a certain category, but with a twist of having to bid for each item with a total budget of $20. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Boys are all over the shop this week as evidenced by the start as we go from talking hacker houses (glorified slums) to LAN parties, quant trading firms, the South Korean stock market, the destruction of the social contract, filing for bankruptcy and much more inbetween. Miguel then provides the boys with a Deutsche Bank report. We're back this week with the old faithful "Bullslut" as the boys turn to this great game in their time of need. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Bit of a quiet week this one as we start off with some Black Ops chat to celebrate the release of the PS5 version. We then talk AI slop, Easyway, private equity owned businesses, Chinese robo vacuums, tier listing chores and leaving negative reviews on small businesses. Our other segment this week is "what your x says about you," where we just rattle off stereotypes for some cheap laughs. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

The 3 stooges are back this week and yet again more football yarns this week as Sen proudly proclaims to have done zero work this week yet then also proceeds to buy a $400 ergonomic office chair - make it make sense. In other news the boys are both proud and disappointed in the Socceroos, Ro's having furniture issues and a tip for getting discounts. We also implore Afterglow Eatery to stop posting our faces and Migs takes on Woolies. We have even more World Cup content with each of the boys bringing their own World Cup themed game/segment to run by the other 2. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

We've done a straight swap - Ro out, Kush in. Kushagra joins us live and direct from San Francisco with a recap of his time at the Socceroos vs Paraguay. We get the full experience, almost as good as being there. Kush has other American yarns for us including Vegas tales, a trip to a National Park and copping IMAX tickets. Miguel also wants to become a karen. We bring back 'Top 5's/10's,' with some World Cup themed ones and some not so World Cup themed ones. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats
