Trials and Tribulations of Frisbee
We’re up to the final 4 episodes for 2023 and we start this week with a series of unfortunate events featuring Rohit and a certain ride sharing app. Migs and Sen then spin some yarns from their time at Post Malone’s concert in the mud. We finally get some mic’d up frisbee audio which should honestly be NSFW given what occurred. We also rant ad nauseam about the silly sport that is frisbee before we look at EY’s office snacks.
Our game this week is a new one - “Game of Lies.” Nifty little game that is all about mind games and deceit under the guise of a trivia game.
And of course we end with “Compare and Contrast,” aka the Tier List segment. We hope you’re not sick to death of these, cause we’re not even close to being done. After ranking bars, dinner spots and clubs, this week we rank Sydney food chains, including the all important battle of the charcoal chicken chains.

How Many Do You Do?
We’re at the pointy end of the year where things begin to slow down, but not here at TCB, where our yarns only seem to get longer. Sen begins with a Marta (aka the neighbour from hell) update as we begin to devise a plan so dastardly, the only thing stopping us would be the law. Ro then provides the council with another edition of our famous bathroom rare units, this time Ro finds himself in the middle of a literal pissing contest. We also hear about the Ninan family’s loan sharking, we talk about the absurdity of Ultimate Frisbee and we finish with WooliesX office snacks.
Our game this week is a new one - “UK vs Aussie Slang.” Quite a literal game, Miguel gives the other 2 some UK slang terms and they must translate it back to Australian English. Over the next month we’ll be playing a new challenge where the loser of the challenge will have to buy a lucky listener a Christmas gift (gift will not arrive in time for Christmas).
“Higher or Lower” is back after an extended period out in the TCB segment wilderness. We asked the listeners to send in details of their work Christmas parties just for us to put them head to head against each other in a “winner stays on” tournament.

The Summer of L's
The podcast is back to full capacity as the final member makes their triumphant return. Local deviant and village idiot, Rohit, is back after his month long jaunt across Europe. He’s filled to the brim with yarns and begins rattling them off with a series of L’s copped across that great continent. We also get a community sport update and we rate Amazon’s office snacks.
Our game this week is a new one - “Draw This.” Disgustingly simple game where the boys draw a famous movie/tv show title and the other must guess what it is. This podcast is becoming increasingly visual with each passing week.
We end this week with another new segment with “Blind Rankings.” As you may have seen on various other platforms, the premise is simple - one of the boys is given a category and they must rank things within that category, however they have no idea what the options are.

It's Frisbeein' Time
We’re nearing silly season here on the podcast with Kush returning from his one week walkabout. We have plenty of admin up top full of apologies and shout outs before we get into some community sport updates including the frisbee resurgence and then we end with a look at Telstra’s office snacks.
Our first game this week is a new one which might be familiar to listeners - “Catchphrase.” Fun little game this one is as one person is given some beautiful noise cancelling headphones to wear (with heavy metal playing) and another person says a phrase to them and they must guess what the phrase is by just reading the other person’s lips.
We end this week with another game as we bring back “The Price is Right.” We recently looked at some of Sydney’s most rundown houses and given the RBA’s recent decision to hike rates again, Sen tests Miguel and Kush to see how in tune they are with the upper echelon of Sydney real estate.

Zhu Be or Not Zhu Be (with Henry Zhu)
Ro and Kush are MIA so the boys call in the big guns to help out with Sydney comedian Henry Zhu stepping up to the plate. We get to know a bit about Henry including his trivia hosting, his start in comedy and his wonderful office. We also review the snacks at Liverpool Hospital.
The game of choice for our guest is “Bullslut” as Henry goes head to head with veteran Miguel. Bullslut is a game of bluffing and to be honest neither person was very good at it. Henry also becomes the first (of hopefully many) name on our guest leaderboard.
We end with “Pet Peeves” where we asked our listeners to write in with their biggest office pet peeves. We read out the best submissions as well as some of Henry’s to see if we agreed or not with them.

The Pursuit of Personality
Absolutely jam packed episode for you this week and we begin with a triumphant Kushagra following his daring escape from Sanctuary Hotel. We have some yarns about the challenge, but you’ll have to wait for the full video to come out. Ro is currently galavanting in Europe and we get a quick update from him. Sen then rants about chopper gunners used on animals and the English national anthem. We get a community sport update and finally we look at PwC’s snack offering.
“Going Camping,” is back this week after a very long hiatus. Very simple game, each person is the camp master and sets the rule for what things can and can’t be brought. The others must figure out what the rule is by guessing various different things.
Finally we end with the “TCB Draft,” where like the NBA draft, we take turns picking our top 5 things to do outside of work. Once an activity has been chosen, the others may not choose that one, leading to some very questionable and rogue picks.
