Critical Banter

Just when you thought Ro's stories couldn't get more ridiculous, he brings a new one that somehow tops all the others. As we wrap our heads around what Ro had just told us, friend of the show Jack sends in a mental submission basically outlining a redundancy Hunger Games in Norway. Sen then rants about SpaceX.

We end with some helpful tips and tricks for those who are not so in tune with the FIFA World Cup.

Once again it's just 2 of the lads on this week's episode and with Migs and Sen you know it's going to be World Cup themed. The boys talk World Cup songs, World Cup ads, KSI leaving the sidemen, a gnarly story out of the UK and Sen started a fight.

The boys play some World Cup quizzes to test their ball knowledge.

Sen kicks us off this week with a new Maxibon rare unit - there seems to be dozens of people like this. Ro has restaurant stories out the wazoo, Migs has an update on his hike and finally Sen talks Tim Payne, Vivid drones and Harambe (RIP).

Top 5's and 10's are back this week and we have some doozies, including ones that are completely vibes based.

Sen opens the batting this week with a stay dangerous at a concert and then a wild tale of a cuck or be cucked and rare unit all tied into one. Ro then has his own rare moment before Migs launches into a rant about Arsenal fans and quick game of 'fair game or not.'

We end with some 'Price is Right' for what is turning out to be an exorbitantly expensive World Cup. On the theme of footballers, we guess what careers footballers would've had if they were rubbish at football, based purely on their looks in "Corporate Stereotypes."

Bad week for Ro as he was left reeling on multiple occasions with no choice but to take it like a champ. Luckily for him, he's aware of someone else he knows who's also been left reeling for other reasons. Migs brings up Andros Townsend and Sen breaks down the budget.

We're back with "Overrated/Underrated," as we once again let rip with some awful hot takes or otherwise.

Sen's back this week and comes full of yarns from his trip to Sri Lanka, his night out last Friday and he went to go scope out the competition, watching a live podcast. Migs then brings a follow up from last week about AI companions.

"Agree or Disagree" is back with the boys sharing some hot takes with each other.

Another week, another duos episode with Sen coming and Sen going as we're back with Ro & Migs. This week, we're back to regular programming with the episode released on time on Wednesday - we give updates on why the past 2 were delay (Ro giving a half apology, half blame someone else). Migs chats about his absence last week and the etiquette behind parking in Mudgee & throwing yourself against glass walls. Ro pitches 2 outrageous ideas he stole from a tech party he attended recently, and an even more outrageous business model that creates AI smut.

This week's game is "Heads Up" - no affiliation to Ellen or any alleged affiliations with Mrs. DeGeneres. Instead of an app or headbands, the boys place sticky notes on their heads whilst asking yes or no questions to guess who is on their head - as always, carnage ensues.

Another week and another duo's episode, this time it's Miguel who's gone walkabout. Sen's been missing a few weeks and helpfully comes back with absolutely zero yarns, how good. Just when you thought we were done with wedding chat, Sen starts with his own wedding stories, Ro brings up the name and shame list and a story about a phone sale almost gone wrong. Sen ends with a moral discussion on insider trading.

"Top 5's/10's" are back again this week and as per usual the boys have some hot takes they want to share with the world.

Another week with Sen off mysteriously leaving Migs and Ro to hold down the fort. The boys talk about their time at the Sydney Comedy Festival (featuring Vietnamese/Cambodian Sen). Migs then talks about his upcoming South America trip at the end of the year including training for a trek, Ro continues to complain about the Sydney housing market, we have a few listener submissions and we end with the top work trends for 2026.

Our segment this week is "Finding the Best," where we put head to head the greatest [insert name here]'s of all time i.e. who is the greatest Michael of all time?

Lots going on this week as we start with Ro explaining his absence from last week with both himself and Sen holding grudges against mechanics. Ro then illustrates how broken the Sydney rental market is and then proceeds to tell an unbelievable yarn featuring a former Prime Minister. After that, we tee off on Davey Warner for a bit, before Sen's got some niches tales about amateur boxing and loud noises at the shopping centre.

We're back with another variation of "Guess the Price," this time we test each other on the price of normal every day items across Sydney to see if you really do pay a premium out east.
