The Wickedly Talented TCB

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2025/01/14

The boys from last week run it back again with Sen still MIA, probably pleading with US officials not to ban Tik Tok. In any case, Ro kicks us off with a baffling tale of watching Wicked in cinemas and a potential administration error on his end. He then even more concerningly admits to not knowing Wicked is a musical. Kush then tells a yarn of some cat like PDA, Mig’s saw a bloke wearing a gaming headset out and about before he laments the fact we’re all getting old and we don’t know what skibidi

Happy New Year from all the boys at Critical Banter! After finally settled into his new life into San Francisco, Kush decided now would be a great time to return home to Sydney. Before explaining or even acknowledging Kush's return to the studio, Migs & Sen selfishly take over the Logue to chat about several pressing matters - including New Years Resolutions, Lune Bakery & Star Bar. With that out of the way, Kush is finally allowed to regale some tales from the Bay Area covering his

With Christmas fast approaching, 2 of the 3 boys are in festive spirit - with the devout Christian of the group forgetting his Lord and Saviour's birthday. We kick-off with a GOAT tier Stay Dangerous before we delve into the Christmas yarns - corporate parties & Bad Santa.

Big Willy's Wedding

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2024/12/17

All the boys are back again this week and we begin with more Manu Philippines yarns. That’s a lie, he told all his stories last week, instead Ro gives us a wedding planning update and the man is beginning to feel nervous already, more than 12 months away from the big day. We talk Hawk Tuah again, much to Sen’s delight and Ro’s annoyance. We go full crypto bro’s with a discussion on famous rug pull scams before talking conspiracies about cash, homeless people selling The Big Issue, rounding up for

Dumb and Dumber

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

Ro's Big News

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2024/11/26

Well well well it’s finally happened, this week it’s just Ro and Sen (aka dumb and dumber).

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

The Oldest Scam In The Book

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2024/11/05

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

The Man With No Morals

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2024/10/15

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 Broke A World Record

The Critical Banter Podcast ·

2024/10/08

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

We also tie up some loose ends from our previous few episodes and we have our very first ever “Stay Dangerous.”Our game is “Top 5’s” this week, as quiz master Ro challenges Migs and Sen to name various different top 5’s in categories such as

Well here we are, as we have foreshadowed for many weeks now.

We talk some footy first with Ro spinning a yarn of antagonising a big Arab man, we discuss Kush’s farewell drinks at one of Sydney’s finest establishments (including a security guard mug off) before Ro reveals a big decision he’s made.

No Ro this week so in his absence we talk about one of his favourite topics - pokies.

We have a full house this week and wowee do we have an episode for you. We’re off to a scintillating start with Rohit questioning the definition of a burger as he took on a local pub and what they categorise a steak sandwich as. While pondering that, he also had a near death experience as he needed the heimlich to be performed on him. Then we get some yarns of Sen’s night out which included mugging off a mate, getting kicked out and facing a hater in real life - rattling stuff.We’re back with the

Back to regular programming this episode except we got a no show with Sen too embarrassed to show his face after a horrible week in fantasy Premier League.

We also talk about selling your betting accounts and trying out the local driving range featuring a drive by from a child.For our
