The Critical Banter Podcast Critical Banter

We start this week with a bombshell, with Kush currently MIA after being implicated in the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Then Ro confesses to a heinous act at his work on International Women’s Day, where he went from ally to sex pest in the matter of minutes as he desperately tried to gaslight his workmates. Sen also has some work yarns including a kitchen cold war and an alternative education institution in rural Victoria.
We’re back with another improv game - this week the “One Word Challenge.” As the name suggests the boys are given a scenario and must continue that scenario one word at a time going around in a circle.
Our final segment this week is inspired by the second greatest Nelson in the history of mankind - Nelson Mandela. In this segment we discuss the phenomena of the Mandela Effect and the boys test themselves on how well they remember famous pop culture references or if they have fallen victim to the Mandela Effect.
Also this week: Shlong or Shlort, Playertek vs Playermaker and Tomorrow When The War Began.
Segments this week:
The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.
One Word Challenge: An improv game where the boys complete a given scenario one word at a time.
Nelson Muntz: Named after the wrong Nelson, we discuss the Mandela effect in this segment.

It’s that time of the month for all the Critical Banter boys to be present for an episode. Kush kicks us off, and in what’s quickly becoming a recurring gag, the man proceeds to immediately plug both his Instagram accounts. We reflect on his new niche of reviewing his experiences with people, revealing he will be reviewing one of the lads next. Ro then reveals something equally as startling as he tells the boys his gripping tale of laughing at death in the face at the beach. We end with the final instalment of the ongoing football saga including a bittersweet message from a former teammate.
After the overwhelming success of “Football Tic Tac Toe” a few weeks ago, it’s back but this time with an actor angle. In yet another modern twist on the classic game of tic tac toe, the boys must find actors who were common across 2 movies/tv shows before we play a version including hair colours and nationalities.
Our final segment this week is inspired by the state of Miguel’s finger in a segment called “Fractured Thoughts.” In this aptly named segment, we discuss times when the head noise becomes considerable and the demon's voices become so loud to the point where you almost let the intrusive thoughts win and you do something truly heinous.
Also this week: swimming parallel to the beach, Isla Fisher, right to bear arms and swerving on the other side of the road.
Segments this week:

Actor Tic Tac Toe: The classic game of football Tic Tac Toe but with an actor twist.
Fractured Thoughts: We discuss times when we almost let the intrusive thoughts in our minds win.

Massive week for the lads and here to recap it is Migs, Ro and Sen - Kush is out presumably with bird flu. We kick off with a recap of the TCB Chess Tournament which concluded over the weekend (spoiler: the winner was the only person who regularly plays chess). Massive thanks to everyone who participated and a special congrats to Jack who made the final and then proceeded to get embarrassed. Sen then provides another update to the neverending football saga before Ro reveals he’s discovered a new way to go around roundabouts.
Our game this week is another Tik Tok special with “Rapid Fire Guess Whom.” In this game the boys take turns to guess a random sportsperson in 30 seconds however they can only ask yes or no questions.
We end this week with the always popular, “Dob in a Rare Unit.” This week, Sen recounts his encounter with random donnies at a wedding, Rohit dobs in a friend for their greedy actions and Migs witnessed some proper paranoid, tin foil hat behaviour at the supermarket.
Also this week: Magnus Ninan, Spencer Dinwiddie, flogging a dead horse and vibrating butt plugs.
Segments this week:
The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.
Rapid Fire Guess Whom: Each person must guess a famous sportsperson but can only ask yes or no questions.
Dob in a Rare Unit: Are you a rare unit? Is your family full of rare units? Are your mates rare units? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a rare unit? If so, write into us and let us know the rarest thing they’ve done.

The revolving door at TCB continues this week as Sen taps out and Ro and Kush sub back in. This week Kush is full of yarns and brings forth an interesting conundrum - asking the lads if they would accept a sports-like contract over their normal work contracts, even going to the extreme of hypothesising a 10 year contract at Maccas for $2.5m.
Then we are back to regular programming as Kush gets in his weekly plug of his movie review Instagram (@mrzorbasmith). He then floats a new Black Mirroresque review series for his regular page (@kushyyk) where he intends to review people on the pleasantness of their company.
Our game this week is “Wonky Words,” as we play the game “Contexto.” This game is very similar to Geoguesser as there is a secret word and with each subsequent guess of the word the game provides you with an indication of how close/far you are from the secret word. Very simple concept, incredibly difficult game.
“Compare and Contrast” is back this week. If you are new, this is where we debate and rank various things. This week we go nostalgic as we rank the best iPod touch games - from seminal classics such as Doodle Jump to the incredibly niche Flappy Bird.
Also this week: Doobie smoking, Ro’s sweet release on his knees, quandaries and Cocaine Bear.
Segments this week:
The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.
Wonky Words: We play the popular game “Contexto” - which is essentially a word guessing game.
Compare and Contrast: Named in honour of our favourite HSC English essay questions, the boys debate the most pressing issues in society and attempt to agree on a ranked tier list, which may end up in broken friendships and definitely will end up being wrong.

It’s happened again, Kush and Ro are MIA so Migs and Sen must soldier on with another football heavy episode. We kick off this week (pun intended) with Miguel recounting his Valentine’s Day plans which includes an infinite food glitch - use at your own peril. Sen then discusses getting blue balled by Julian Assange, doing a Rohit and then complains about yet another overrated Sydney institution.
As usual, with Kush and Ro nowhere to be seen, Migs and Sen revert back to doing football content with “Football Tic Tac Toe.” In this modern twist on the classic game of tic tac toe, the boys must find players which have played for both clubs in the relevant grids - the first person to line up 3 players in a row wins the game.
Our final segment this week is inspired by comments made a few weeks back regarding a nickname given to Sen’s cousin. In “Triple Cheese” we discuss the etiquette of creating a nickname, some backstories of our nicknames and some workplace nicknames you can use.
Also this week: Chef Mike, Uncle Ming’s, Nicolas Anelka and the Sensor Light.
Segments this week:
The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.
Football Tic Tac Toe: The classic game of Tic Tac Toe but with a football twist.
Triple Cheese: A segment on the etiquette of nicknames and some of the best nicknames we’ve heard.

After last week’s opening segment was canned due to various violations of the Geneva Convention, Kush is back in person to oversee the other 3 monkey’s and ensure no other inhumane acts are performed on this podcast. To mark his return, Kush begins with a hypothetical review of his movie rating system, including potentially using his head as a scoring system. We then finally reveal an ongoing saga regarding our upcoming football season as we have been unceremoniously dumped from our previous team before ending with a final yarn of seeing Dave Chappelle live.
In another classic bait and switch, the game this week isn’t Gone Camping, instead it’s a new one - “Critical Categories,” which is our take on the seminal classic game of Scattergories.
We end this week with another new segment “Can I Borrow A Feeling?” where we discuss some of the more niche, underrated feelings in life - ranging from relieving oneself after holding in a long piss to the first drop of water after a massive night out.
Also this week: Ro smoking a doobie, Yondr pouches, Band 6 movie, Dragon Booster and Antonio Banderas.
Segments this week:
The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.
Critical Categories: This game is all about speed as the boys must name as many items in a given category as fast as they can.
Can I Borrow A Feeling?: A segment where we discuss the most underrated feelings in the world.
