Massive week for TCB and for Kush especially as he finally gets his first W against a corporation. Kush recounts in detail his year long battle with a large Sydney music store which came to a tantalising conclusion last week. The other boys then bring some yarns of their time playing 2 Up on Anzac Day, including a rivalry with a fellow punter. We end with a review of the EY Converse collaboration.

Our game this week is “Scattergories.” Simply put, Miguel gives the boys a category and they go around naming as many things as they can within that category without falter until only one remains.

We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” To kick us off we have a few listener submissions with our favourite category of rare unit: the bathroom rare unit. Extra points as well to the listener for submitting them via voice notes. Rohit then reveals his own rare unit wherein he was rizzed and then scarred for life - quite the rollercoaster story.

We’ve called Kush back up from the reserves as all the boys are back on deck this week. We start with a tale of hubris as Ro foolishes tries to save a woman’s life only to be met with the least helpful 000 responder. Also this week, Sen’s in rehab for his foot and he brings yarns from his physio. This week it’s the tale of his physio trying to fake his way onto Beauty and the Geek.

We’re back with the famous Tik Tok game - “Impostor". Quite a simple game, each round the boys are given a famous name except for one person who is the Impostor. They then use one word to describe the person and the Impostor must guess the person before the other 2 guess who the Impostor is.

It’s that time of the month again for yet another tier list with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” We’ve gone full blown nostalgia this week as we take a trip down memory lane as we rank the best cartoon shows from our childhood.

Wowee do we have an absolutely massive episode this week for you guys, featuring a very special guest. We’ve sent Kush to the bench to welcome one of Australia’s leading sports broadcasters - Kat Haddad. Kat has appeared on Optus Sport, SBS as well as a number of podcasts. We learn about Kat’s unorthodox journey to get to where she is today, her work during the Women’s World Cup, her thoughts on the NRL and much more.

As we normally do with our guests, our game this week is “Bullslut'' as Kat goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel. Can the lads finally get a win against a guest?

We end this week with an old classic segment, “Higher or Lower.” This week we’re putting head to head, iconic Australian sporting moments of the 21st century. From Cathy Freeman’s win at the 2000 Olympics to John Aloisi’s winning penalty to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, we cover it all.

Plenty of yarns in this week’s episode and to start us off, Kush is back from his holiday and he brings tales from the Motherland. From negotiating with street merchants, to getting scammed and almost bribing police, Kush had the most quintessential Indian experience. Sen then remembers a story regarding one of his ex workmates before we continue our new series “Cop or Not.”

We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks the rest of the boys questions from the game with the first person to 10 points declared the winner.

Our final segment this week is “What Your _ Says About You.” You may have seen this trend online before but now it’s time for our take on it. We have a number of categories we discuss in which we just rattle off the most number of stereotypes we can in the space of 30 minutes.

Huge episode for you guys this week and we start with Ro asking the boys a philosophical question straight off the bat - as he asks them the last time they wasted $100. We then get another tantalising update in the Marta saga aka “the neighbour from Hell.” Finally we’re starting a new series this week called “Cop or Not,” where we rate your company’s merchandise.

Our game this week is the “10 Question Challenge.” Ro and Migs have each been given famous people which they must guess. As the name of the game suggests, they only have 10 yes/no questions to ask to get to the answer.

The final segment this week is “Secret Love” and we’re talking about things Sydneysiders secretly love but are too scared/proud to admit. Wide array of topics for this one ranging from Town Hall Maccas/KFC to Vivid and even City Rail. Some pretty hot takes here.

Bit happening this week in the world of TCB. Ro begins with a discovery of a children’s YouTube channel with over a 100 million subscribers and the boys slowly realise they will never achieve anywhere near as much as this 8 year old has. Miguel has had a huge week as well as he brings some yarns from the Easter Show and the Ramadan Night Markets. Finally, Sen pledges that he will be in the Paddock for next year’s Australian F1 Grand Prix.

This week we were feeling adventurous so we decided to give “Bullslut'' another go. This week’s categories include naming vegetables, shops and junk food amongst others.

Our last segment this week is “Life Hacks.” In case the listeners didn’t know already, the boys love a good scheme or get rich quick idea, so we put the call out to the listeners. We discuss the listener submissions as well as some of our own life hacks.

Rather gnarly start to this week’s pod with a story about a cemetery straight off the rip. Sen tells a story he heard from a friend about his supernatural experience at a cemetery one night leading to a wider discussion on ghost stories. Ro then shares his own horror story of being accosted by 2 older gentlemen who were into some very nefarious activities.

Kush has graced the boys this week with his game “Hints.” The man has really outdone himself by concocting an absolute doozy of a game with the wheels falling off very quickly, leading to chaos and anarchy. I wish I could describe the game or what the rules are, but I truly still have no idea.

We end with an old TCB classic “Overrated/Underrated,” this time with props. We haven’t done this segment in a long time, but as per usual we put the call out to the listeners on instagram to let us know things they thought were overrated and things they thought were underrated for us to discuss.

Got a full house this week with Kush back from his mysterious absence last week. Ro starts with a quick mind your manners featuring a friend who was given raw chicken not once, not twice but three times! Sen then dobs Ro in for inexplicably triple booking himself for one night - including booking an international flight.

The game this week is “Fact or Cap,” very straightforward as Sen gives the boys some common statements and they must decide if it’s true or false. Huge asterisk surrounding the winner of this week’s game.

For a second week in a row, we end with “Pet Peeves” this time for community sports. We asked the listeners to write in with their grievances but really this was just a venting session for the boys to get the demons off their chest.

We’re back with another red hot episode this week. Kush is currently MIA, presumably too busy worshipping his life size poster of Christopher Nolan at home. In other news, the boys discuss the world’s worst immersive experience - Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow. Ro then tells a tragic tale of his friend meeting his hero Wheatus, including some very suspect behaviour. Finally we end with our final frisbee update including a very interesting twist in the tale.

We play a new Tik Tok famous game this week called “Avoid Me". Straightforward premise, Miguel has prepared some prompts beforehand which he presents to Ro and Sen. They must then answer those prompts without giving the same answers Miguel had already prepared.

We end with “Pet Peeves” except with a twist! We’ve been getting a bit too negative about Sydney on the podcast so instead we asked you to write in with what you love about this great city. We got plenty of very good answers (and sarcastic ones) that we go through and discuss to see if we agree.

Another week and another new intro for this podcast. We’re currently going through an identity crisis so please let us know if this intro is better or worse - we desperately need some guidance. Anyway, to kick us off this week Sen has a tale as he attended a pretentious law networking event where he discovered former guest Rohan is now a D list celebrity at his firm. Also, Rohit comes to the boys with a question of morality before we debrief on our first (and last) ever season of frisbee.

We got a fun new game this week with, “Guess Who?” The boys have come prepared (for once) with some clues for famous people. The less clues you need to guess the person, the more points you get.

Would you look at that, it’s time for another tier list with our segment “Compare and Contrast.” Instead of tier listing tangible objects like clubs/restaurants or chocolate bars, we’ve now moved on to tier listing popular Gen Z hobbies.
