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.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Sen vs Microsoft
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.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

Accidental Influencers
This week, Migs and Ro recount their experience at their first ever influencer(?) event where they tried their best to not look like cheapskates and miserably failed in doing so. We also have a listener submission about unethical life hacks which includes impersonating companies, leading to a passionate rant from Migs about a specific ice cream store.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.This week we end with “Bottom 5’s” as the boys put a negative twist on their usual Top 5 antics.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

The Boy Who Cried Racist
Some weird energy in the studio this week as the boys recorded this late on a Monday night. Despite the delirium, Ro has a stay dangerous as well as a yarn from his time in BrisVegas about the homeless people of the great northern state. Ro also has a yarn from Oztag featuring serial pest Triple Cheese as he continues to drag this podcast’s name through the mud - this time in a case of mistaken identity. The chat gets derailed and niche from here as we cover Sen getting mauled at the temple, Trump tariffs, watching videos at 2x speed and Declan Rice free kicks.The game this week is “Think Fast,” which is ironic as this game had Migs and Sen doing everything but that. In any case, Ro gives Sen and Migs 10 statements each which they must answer, the winner is the one who can answer all 10 in the quickest time.Our final segment is “Corporate Dog,” where we discuss some of the big corporate stories over the past few months that you may have missed. We talk about employers spying on employees at home, corporate espionage and Japan’s 4 day work week.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES🔽 APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-critical-banter-podcast/id1453453320🔽 SPOTIFY: https://sptfy.com/criticalbanter🔽 WEBSITE: https://www.criticalbanter.com___________________________________________________________SOCIALS (@criticalbanter)🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/criticalbanter📸 INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagr.am/criticalbanter👍 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/criticalbanter👪 FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tcbappreciationsociety📱 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@criticalbanter🎬 YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/criticalbanter___________________________________________________________FOLLOW THE BOYS:📸 MIGUEL: http://www.instagr.am/miggybrahhh📸 ROHIT: http://www.instagr.am/robro1📸 SEN: http://www.instagr.am/sen.thav📸 KUSH: http://www.instagr.am/kushyyk___________________________________________________________MUSIC byLoxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats
