Lots going on this week, Sen had 2 lunches in a day, Ro got fined again but also assisted another driver in breaking the law. Migs talks Coke Plus (not that coke), the boys have a big soccer semi final coming up and are refraining from two of their favourite activities (the two c’s) and they also talk creatine and Zyzz. We end with one of the wildest Stay Dangerous’s we have ever received and definitely do not recommend anyone else try this. Our game this week is the “Guess the Salary,” where Ro...

Absolutely monumental episode this week with Sen conveniently transversing international waters come tax time.

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.

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man penned a beautiful soliloquy to Revenue NSW outlining why he was hard done by and the reasons the fine should be rescinded - they essentially told him to hit the bricks.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 ca...

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.

Unfortunately no Kush this week, but Migs, Ro and Sen are all back.

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...

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 c...

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.

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 R...

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 ...
May 06, 2025•59 min•Season 1Ep. 305
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, Tru...

Yarn heavy episode this week as Ro and Sen recount stories from their weekend in Melbourne, including a very generous restaurant owner, a grumpy casino dealer and large amounts of head loss and carry on from the boys in a story where they definitely come out looking shameful.

Absolutely huge episode this week filled with plenty of yarns. Sen is back from a quick trip to the USA while Ro is also back from a work trip to Byron Bay. Sen went to Vegas and Ro took on a cyclone - this week is story heavy and self indulgent. We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks Migs and Sen questions from the game to find a winner. We have a listener-submitted segment this week called “Cheapskates,” where we discuss the ...

With Sen exploring alternative (and very right-wing) podcasting options in America and Kush still fighting for his life in the mean streets of San Francisco, we are left with the dynamic duo this week as Miguel & Rohit recap the week. Ro kicks off chatting about the Slater & Gordon incident that left nearly 1,000 executive salaries, performance reviews & other sensitive info leaked.

Another week rolls on and Ro continues to be involved in lengthy battles with various wedding venues across NSW.

Ro is up to his gills in wedding planning and begins this week almost immediately complaining about the cost of wedding venues. We entertain this man for a bit before both Migs and Sen share niche Metro chat, we have an update on Summer Soccer which gets derailed for one of the more unbelievable (as in we don’t believe it) Stay Dangerous stories. The game this week is the “Letter Game” - pretty simple premise as Sen gives the boys 2 letters. They must name a word that begins with the first lette...

Few “Stay Dangerous” to kick us off this week before we have an extra unethical life hack from a listener.

Migs starts proceedings this week with an immediate attack on a certain culture’s parenting style as he retells his encounter with a bratty child at a shopping centre. Ro shamefully admits to playing Last Man Standing Cricket - the lowest form of cricket known to man. Sen then pleads with the listeners for any potential football players looking to join a new team before outing Ro in a tale of betrayal and deceit. Our game this week is a familiar game but with a twist. The game is “Reverse Top 5,...

We kick this week off straight off the bat with a hot take from Miguel as he ponders if Lavar Ball is the greatest dad of all time. Ro then once again shows off his pro bus agenda with a smear campaign against the metro before Sen ends with a tale featuring Cliff Dive and a security guard hellbent on busting Ro’s balls. New game this week called “Guess the Job.” Miguel has found some very normal job roles that have been given funky titles, the other 2 must guess what the original role is. Our fi...

We bid farewell to Kushagra once again but welcome back to Sen who returns from his trip to Vietnam. He comes bearing gifts - both physical and metaphysical in nature. He brings along with him a new ideology which he immediately pushes onto the boys. As the lads get used to their new left wing mantra, Sen regales them with tales of his trip to Vietnam. We’re bringing back an old game with “Stockholm Syndrome” where Sen gives the boys some names and they must figure out if it's an Australian Open...
