Critical Banter

Ro's biggest fear came true as he encountered another flat tyre, leaving Migs and Sen to their own devices. They lift the hood a little on the boys trip to the Easter Show, we discuss Trump's insane ramblings, the kit kat heist, an exuberant salesman, wild takes on IG Live and Sen wears a mental t-shirt.

We have another game this week "Winner Stays On," where as the name suggests, the boys give each other a number of alternate options in a category and they must pick one until there is only one winner remaining.

Just when you thought we possibly couldn't have any more wedding yarns, here we are this week with back to back wedding tales to kick us off. Ro begins with a story of a wedding in the Hunter (if you can wrap your head around that) before Migs recounts a different wedding he attended over the weekend. Migs also went shooting and Sen hits the boys with a stream of consciousness.

Our game this week is pretty topical - "Then vs Now" where we compare the prices of everyday items and larger purchases with prices from 10-20 years ago.

Just Migs and Ro this week and it's been a while since we've had this combo. Ro starts with a yarn about a man trying to find some love and is willing to pay $25,000 to find it. In a similar vein, next up is a discussion on the 'Manosphere' documentary before Miguel recounts his time at the Matilda's game and then at Barry's bootcamp. Ro then makes his case for not being conscripted and then heaps praise onto George Street.

We end with the always reliable "Top 10's/5's." Always worth mentioning to take our views with a massive grain of salt.

As the title suggests, we have the much anticipated final instalment of Ro's wedding, featuring a dodgy cameraman and even dodgier dancing. We also hear about Ro being emasculated and Miguel's adventure in a broken down car. We have a car mind your manners as well before Sen brings a few tidbits to the table.

We end with "What Your X Says About You," where we rattle off some (potentially outdated) stereotypes about coffee orders, gyms, NRL teams, suburbs and AI tools.

The wedding yarns continue as Ro runs a few dubious wedding related items by the boys before we waffle on for another half an hour, covering a range of topics including lookalikes, birdmen, free chicken, Ro's horrible dancing and of course Iran.

In our segment this week, we test how ChatGPT reacts (often overwhelmingly positive and supportive) when you present it with an outrageous scenario.

Ro is back, fresh off his honeymoon, and we start this week by hearing his version of events at his wedding, including a behind the scenes look at all the highs and lows. We then talk about his honeymoon and his new found life of being a house husband. Sen then brings up a viral substack which outlines a very dystopian future regarding AI.

We have 2 mini games this week with the first one being a game where Ro and Sen have to guess which are real KD burner tweets and which are AI. The second game is where Migs and Ro have to guess how many times different people show up in the Epstein files.

No Ro, no Kush which means once again it falls to Migs and Sen to keep this machine running. Sen outs himself for some rare behaviour, Migs and Sen then recount their Friday night at Leichhardt Oval before we spend way too much time talking about a bloke named Enrique.

We put the call out for a Q&A and you guys delivered as we answered some serious and some not so serious questions across a wide range of topics.

Kushy is back for the first time in 2026, but unfortunately Ro is off on his honeymoon (shout out Trip.com) so it's just the 3 musketeers today. Migs and Sen recount Ro's wedding last weekend, Kush has some tales from SF, including a quick mind your manners, we ran into some listeners during the week and we have a football update.

We're back with "Things No One Says," this week as we rattle off niche sentences that have never been uttered.

Bit going on this week, as we start with Sen dobbing himself in for being cheap, he also reveals he's now an engaged man as well. Speaking of mug offs, Ro got given the business by a homeless man, we talk about the world's worst bookstore, Sen asks what happened to George Street Maccas and then ends with a rant about catching the bus.

We bring back "Top 5's" as we are tested on some fact based ones but then also have to endure some inevitable hot takes with some opinion based ones.

Here we are, Ro's last few days of freedom before he ties the knot. He gives us some last minute updates for his wedding and then an epic battle he fought whilst trying to book his honeymoon. Ro also has some unethical life hacks for organising a wedding. Migs has a metro yarn, Sen talks about AI and has a sudden urge to buy an E-bike.

We are back with "Compare and Contrast" as we tier list cuisines from around the world. We are sure people are chomping at the bit to hear 3 culinarily challenged men provide their opinions on food they couldn't cook.
