    Rohit's Chamber of Secrets

    The boys are back for the first proper episode of 2026 and wowee do we have a good one. We start with some yarns from the back end of last year including the boys trip to Canberra for Spilt Milk as well as Ro and Sen's trip to BrisVegas for the cricket. We then get some holiday yarns from Miguel's time in China as well as Sen's time in Hong Kong and Japan. We bring back our yearly tradition as Sen tests Miguel and Ro's knowledge of the year's events with the Google Trending Searches Quiz for 2025. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    Bonnie Blue Balled

    Yep you read the title right - Bonnie Blue reached out to us to appear as a guest on the pod. Hear all about the moral conundrum in the podcast camp about whether or not to entertain this intriguing offer. We also talk about a Namibian politician named after an Austrian painter. Kush then brings up some tales of racism from SF before Sen and Miguel swap tales about parking. We end with rating corporate office Christmas parties (this episode was recorded in December). After a very long stint on the sidelines we bring back the once popular "What is the Question" for our game and for a bit of fun this 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    The Hit List (with Patrick Yazbek)

    Massive week for the pod as we welcome current professional footballer and Socceroo Patrick Yazbek onto the show. We learn all about Yaz's journey to professional football from early beginnings to making his professional debut and even representing his country. We hear some great yarns from his NPL days, as well as stories about the A-League, Norway and of course the MLS. All round just a fantastic chat with Yaz. ___________________________________________________________ YOU CAN FIND PATRICK HERE: 📸 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/patrickyazb3k/ ⚽ ALL THE ANGLES | PATRICK YAZBEK GOAL vs NEW YORK RED BULLS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwPIn0O6Whc ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    The Good Gays

    King Kundra is still here gracing us with his presence. He begins this week with some yarns on Kundra Snr, including an update on the infrared vacuum and his negotiating skills. Kush and Migs had some run ins with fans, before we talk about El Jannah's sale to Private Equity and Ro met another bloke with 2 phones. For our game this week we have the "2025 Quiz" with Migs testing the rest of the boys knowledge on the events of 2025. We end with "Corporate Characters," where we discuss the archetypal characters you interact with on a daily basis at work and who you should avoid being / being seen with. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    Kush's Kids Carriage

    The whole gang is back for the first time in a year. Kush’s got yarns out the wazoo including transport yarns (shoutout Sydney metro) and some dating yarns. Then we delve into animal rights as we discuss a real life reindeer on the Central Coast, live fish in restaurants and Sen saw a gnarly chicken video. We also chat La Mono, Betoota stepping on our toes, running stories, a hostage car and an infrared vacuum. We end this week with “Guess the Asian,” as we have listeners send in photos of themselves with the boys trying to guess what part of Asia they are from. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    King of San Francisco

    Ring a ding ding you've got the king - that’s right King Kundra is back in town and he’s gracing us with his presence. He’s got plenty of yarns with an update on his dad’s battle with Good Guys, a story about a new number, glazing halloween and then even more glazing of Air New Zealand. We end with some bashing of Sky Sports and a very tone deaf marketing campaign. We have some “Corporate Starter Packs,” which are some helpful survival tips and tricks for excelling in various roles in corporate. Our last segment is “Then & Now,” where we reminisce on the good old days of things in Sydney that probably don’t exist anymore. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

  7. Tactics and Turbans (with Harjas Singh)

    Tactics and Turbans (with Harjas Singh)

    Absolute ripper of an episode this week as we are joined by young gun cricketer Harjas Singh, fresh off smoking the third highest score in Sydney Grade Cricket history. We chat early beginnings in cricket, his meteoric rise, winning a World Cup, the triple hundred, his life outside of cricket and plenty in between. Overall a fantastic yarn with Harjas and of course had to play a quick game with him as well. Despite audio evidence to the contrary, Migs was in fact in this episode. ___________________________________________________________ YOU CAN FIND HARJAS HERE: 📸 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/harjas.161__/ 🏏 314 RUN GAME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7u4s-gutlg ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats

    Ding Dong, It's The Peanut Gallery

    We're back with another ripper episode and thankfully for the listeners Manu is back as well. He brings some yarns including a religion based email sign off and a tale of going to Sculptures By The Sea. Sen went to Oasis, dobs himself for becoming an office yuppie and shouts out Nancy Pelosi and Mamdani. The game this week is "Price is Right," as Sen has Migs and Ro guessing the prices of various different subscription platforms. We end with "Things No one Says," with us reciting brand new sentences that have never been uttered by any other human before. ___________________________________________________________ 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 by Loxbeats: https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats
