Critical Banter

Massive episode this week featuring a very special guest - Winna Bhun. We start off getting to know Winna and his many talents including competitive eating, how he grew his social media following, working at a casino, a drunk night out at UNSW and much more.

As usual we play “Bullslut” with our guest as Migs and Winna go head to head for bragging rights.

We finish this week with a segment called “Mythbusters,” as we ask Winna about his time on Australian Survivor and ask him the hard hitting questions about the show and reality tv in general.

Yarn heavy episode this week as Ro and Sen recount stories from their weekend in Melbourne, including a very generous restaurant owner, a grumpy casino dealer and large amounts of head loss and carry on from the boys in a story where they definitely come out looking shameful.

Our game this week is “Taboo,” which is similar to charades except each round gets more difficult as the game master (Sen) adds a ridiculous rule to the already existing rules.

We’re back again with “Top 5’s” this week as the boys take turns ranking their top 5’s in various different categories including some questionable takes about jobs.

Very fun episode this week as we are joined by the Kebab master himself - The Ox Show. We learn all about Ox’s journey into the kebab world, how he began, industry secrets, HSP Appreciation Society, Gold Coast Kebabs and he actually shows us his resume.

We have our first guest for 2025 and as per usual, the game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut'' as Ox goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel.

We end this week with a TCB classic segment with a twist - “Corporate Rare Units.” We love to hear about rare units here at TCB and one of our favourite genres of rare units are the ones you find at work. Sen and Ro share some weirdos they’ve worked with before Ox drops some classics.

Absolutely huge episode this week filled with plenty of yarns. Sen is back from a quick trip to the USA while Ro is also back from a work trip to Byron Bay. Sen went to Vegas and Ro took on a cyclone - this week is story heavy and self indulgent.

We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks Migs and Sen questions from the game to find a winner.

We have a listener-submitted segment this week called “Cheapskates,” where we discuss the cheapest things we’ve seen, done or heard of. We have some listener submissions as well as some of our own experiences as well as famous examples of rich people being cheap.

With Sen exploring alternative (and very right-wing) podcasting options in America and Kush still fighting for his life in the mean streets of San Francisco, we are left with the dynamic duo this week as Miguel & Rohit recap the week. Ro kicks off chatting about the Slater & Gordon incident that left nearly 1,000 executive salaries, performance reviews & other sensitive info leaked.

The boys then spend a disgusting amount of time reliving their Summer Football grand final - with behind the scenes footage, teammate dial-ins & absurd comparisons to winning Olympic Gold. We finish off the Logue with quick updates on AI & parking in Parramatta.

The game this week is a return of '20 Questions'. Simple game (in theory), where one of the boys will have a person, place or thing in mind and the other will ask up to 20 yes or no questions to figure out the mystery answer. Chaos ensues as the boys once again reveal their slow wit & lack of pop culture knowledge.

Second segment of the episode is a twist on 'Top 5s'. In this iteration, we run through what we believe is the top 5 in any given category. We touch upon Sydney cafes, bubble tea orders and more. Being highly subjective, we have already prepared ourselves for the hate that is about to ensue.

Another week rolls on and Ro continues to be involved in lengthy battles with various wedding venues across NSW. This week’s battle is catering and which venues will allow delicious Indian and Chinese food to be cooked and served. We then talked about Drake’s Sydney concerts, our Thursday night 6 a side comp before ending with some deeply disturbing footage and a sombre warning about AI.

The ever reliable “Bullslut” is back for the first time in 2025. It’s Ro v Sen as the boys take each other one in some of the most classic TCB categories.

We finish this week with a bit of a throwback with “Would You Rather,” with Migs asking Ro and Sen some of the most popular WYR’s from the internet.

Ro is up to his gills in wedding planning and begins this week almost immediately complaining about the cost of wedding venues. We entertain this man for a bit before both Migs and Sen share niche Metro chat, we have an update on Summer Soccer which gets derailed for one of the more unbelievable (as in we don’t believe it) Stay Dangerous stories.

The game this week is the “Letter Game” - pretty simple premise as Sen gives the boys 2 letters. They must name a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second letter, the winner is the one who names the word first.

Our final segment is another new one - “Career Limiting Moves.” We start with some listener submissions, before we discuss some of our own/ones we witnessed ourselves which leads us going down some very sobering rabbit holes. We then end with some famous examples of career limiting moves from various athletes.

This week we also have a special message on behalf of the Department of Health and Aged Care.

Few “Stay Dangerous” to kick us off this week before we have an extra unethical life hack from a listener. After we discuss the intricacies of Talon’s plan, we discuss the biggest news of the week - Luka Doncic’s “trade” to the Lakers. Ro then tells us about his accountability group and his menacing communist behaviour. Migs and Sen end with tales of social etiquette in the workplace.

For our game this week we bring back the always popular real estate themed “Price is Right.” Migs and Sen try to guess property prices from across Sydney.

Our final segment is a new one - “Do You Remember,” as we invoke some nostalgic memories of mid-2000’s and early 2010’s Australia including the behind the scenes of one of Australia’s premier children’s quiz shows.

Migs starts proceedings this week with an immediate attack on a certain culture’s parenting style as he retells his encounter with a bratty child at a shopping centre. Ro shamefully admits to playing Last Man Standing Cricket - the lowest form of cricket known to man. Sen then pleads with the listeners for any potential football players looking to join a new team before outing Ro in a tale of betrayal and deceit.

Our game this week is a familiar game but with a twist. The game is “Reverse Top 5,” where each lad gives their top 5 of something and the other 2 have to guess what the category is.

For our final segment we bring back “Unethical Life Hacks,” where each of the boys share some uncouth life hacks either they do or they have heard from other people. This edition features how to always get free parking, how to get a free mattress, negotiating at a department store and more.

We kick this week off straight off the bat with a hot take from Miguel as he ponders if Lavar Ball is the greatest dad of all time. Ro then once again shows off his pro bus agenda with a smear campaign against the metro before Sen ends with a tale featuring Cliff Dive and a security guard hellbent on busting Ro’s balls.

New game this week called “Guess the Job.” Miguel has found some very normal job roles that have been given funky titles, the other 2 must guess what the original role is.

Our final segment is “Work Confessions,” where we asked our listeners to send in their work confessions for things they do or have done at their workplace. Some really good submissions as we discuss them and add in our own confessions.
