Massive episode as friend of the show Eugene from Sneaker Laundry joins us. We talk to Eugene about his different businesses, how Sneaker Laundry began, getting into matcha, giving a uni graduation class speech and much more.

This week it’s Eugene’s turn to take on Migs in “Bullslut.” Bit of 1 on 1 action as the lads take turns trying to name as many things within a category in 30 seconds.

We end with “Head to Head.” It’s been a while since we’ve incited a city war so what better time than with Eugene who spends a fair chunk of time between Sydney and Melbourne. We assess both cities across a number of metrics to see who comes out on top.

Plenty of yarns this week and we start off with the story that is referenced in the title of this week’s episode. In the third and final instalment of Sen’s bitter stand off with Revenue NSW. The great man penned a beautiful soliloquy to Revenue NSW outlining why he was hard done by and the reasons the fine should be rescinded - they essentially told him to hit the bricks. Similarly, Ro is also fighting a parking fine with the great council of North Sydney. In other news, Migs finds a Pokemon card worth quite a bit of money.

The game this week is “Top 10’s” as we each have a top 10 list for the other 2 to guess.

Look out its 2023 again, as we end with “Reviewing Office Snacks.” We had a sudden flurry of listeners sending in their office snacks again and this time for 3 very large Australian companies so of course we had to have a look.

If you actually read this description, please watch this episode on Youtube and let me know if you think Ro looks like Kassem G with his new glasses.

The boys are joined by a very interesting guest this week as Scott from Lupo Bianco drops by. Scott is a tailor at Lupo Bianco who are one of Sydney’s premier custom suit tailors. We discuss a bit about the business, his journey into tailoring, what makes and good suit and much more.

As usual our game is “Bullslut” as Scott takes on Migs and Ro in 5 rounds covering all sorts of topics.

We end with “What Your X Says About You,” as we discuss various different types of suits and the typical types of people who wear these suits.

Got a hell of yarn to kick us off this week as the boys went to the infamous Ivy Penthouse for a party last week. Massive shout out to the Maison Chen Law Group for inviting us to their birthday celebrations. We talk about penthouses, showers in penthouses, bathtubs in penthouses as well as a run in with the Glambot operator. There's also some yarns about Totti’s and Sen went karting.

Our game this week is the “Connections Game,” as Migs and Ro are given 2 separate humans from various time periods and they need to find a way to connect them both in the least amount of degrees of separation.

We end with “Corporate Canon Events,” where we discuss the (Sydney) corporate canon events that every individual must experience to truly say they are a corporate drone.

Lot of yap in this week’s episode, so much so that we forgot to do a game. In any case, we start with a stay dangerous, Migs has an update on the shirtless gym bro and then Sen provides an update on his driving fine, as well as a life hack to unlimited free Adobe. Sen also has a yarn about a billionaire and ends on his soapbox complaining about kids on the metro.

Our other segment today is “Top 5’s” as the boys take turns ranking their underrated and overrated top 5’s in various different categories.

Unfortunately no Kush this week, but Migs, Ro and Sen are all back. Ro spent some time in Bali and brought some yarns from before and during his trip including a passport frenzy, a hectic wedding and an unfortunate ATV incident.

We play a variation of “Bullslut” this week between Ro and Sen where Sen shows off his ability to name many different types of analysts.

Our final segment today is “Band for Band,” as we put some countries' cuisines head to head across various categories as we compare like for like dishes.

Firstly we apologise for Kush’s scuffed audio this week - Sen and Ro are chimpanzee’s. In any case, no Migs for this episode but Kush steps up in his place and wowee does he bring yarns. We talk about all things America, including a sleazy driver, self driving cars, San Francisco’s abysmal nightlife and Kush’s dating adventures.

“Price is Right” is back this week as Sen tests Ro and Kush on how in touch they are with the common Australian with them guessing the price of everyday items as well as some general statistics.

Our final segment today is “Reverse Colonialism,” where Ro (fresh from his trip around Asia) suggests certain traits and ideologies from Asia he believes should be adopted by Australia and western society.

We are back with a brand new episode this week after a brief break last week. Joining Migs and Sen is friend of the show (and in real life) Jeffrey whilst Ro is still overseas. We talk about Sydney airport, a rare win against a large tech conglomerate, narrowly avoiding a beat down in soccer and Jeffrey gives us his thoughts on NY and Boston.

Sen tests Migs and Jeffrey’s niche knowledge in the “Top 10 Game” including the athletes with the largest instagram followings, large companies and large countries.

We end with the classic “Rare Units,” featuring a bloke mogging everyone at the gym and then 2 of our favourite category of rare units - the bathroom rare unit.

The boys start off the episode strong chatting about hacked uni group chats, the etiquette in greeting high school alum in the wild, and long distance partners mooching long-term accomodation rent free (literally). We round off the logue with an impromptu #AskTCB where we answer some of the burning questions you guys have asked over Instagram - be sure to follow us on @criticalbanter to get your submissions in for next time.

The game this week we bring back the “Letter Game” - where the boys name a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second letter Sen gives them. After the sheer simplicity of the first rendition of this game, we add an additional rule where the word must be more than 4 letters.

Second segment of the week is another returning segment "Blind Ranking" - where we rank random top 5s without knowing the rest of the list. We cover some outrageous topics such as Harry Potter characters on how racist we think they are, various 'Jacks', Premier League wingers, Australian CEOs on how fast we think they'd be at a 100m race - and so much more.

Sen kicks off formalities this week with a few tales. In his first tale he is both the victim and perpetrator, as he ignores the sage words of Gandhi and goes eye for an eye. In other news, Sen is also engaged in a painstaking battle with Microsoft in a desperate attempt not to get charged $150. Elsewhere, Ro got a ride share with a driver who started abusing him to his face in another language - unfortunately for the driver, Ro understood every word.

The “Wavelength” game is back with Sen and Ro giving each other clues by way of answering increasingly niche/unrelated questions to help them guess what number the other is thinking.

Our final segment this week is “Don’t Say This, Say That.” Have you ever sat in a meeting at work and looked at your coworker secretly hoping you could absolutely spray this clown. In this segment we help you find ways to deliver passive aggressive or otherwise messages, in a very corporate friendly manner.
