Kushagra has a covid scare midweek, forcing him out of the league fixture on the weekend, meaning he is missing for a second consecutive week. This week starts with a much anticipated (and much needed) update to the Pepper Press as Rohit and Miguel reflect over the past 6 months. One of the boys is given a point for one of the categories with the other 4 categories and the ultimate winner to be announced in next week’s episode. We then discuss breakdancing at the olympics and whether it constitu...

What is the difference between The Godfather Part III, The Return of the Jedi, Game of Thrones Season 8 and this week’s episode? This week’s podcast actually produces a satisfactory conclusion to a much loved franchise: the Rohit wallet saga. With Kushagra away this week, off in the UK helping Pfizer test their coronavirus vaccine, the rest of the boys gear up for the second ever filmed episode of the podcast (check out our YouTube for full episodes aha x). We begin with the exciting final insta...

Kushagra is back from his week-long Bunga Bunga Party, just in time to join us for a very momentous episode. This week marks our very first episode to be filmed and uploaded to YouTube. That’s right, from this week, you’ll now have the privilege to both hear, and see us, as we record our episodes. Be sure to check out our YouTube channel 'Critical Banter' (link below) for future episodes and exclusive YouTube content such as challenges, pranks and classic Bollywood covers. This week, we discuss ...

Kushagra is a no show for this week, presumably out celebrating South Dakota recently legalising marijuana, but alas the show must go on. We begin this week with a story about first dates, leading to an in depth discussion about the etiquette of first dates and the do’s and don’ts. We then discuss the rebranding of Red Skins and Chicos as we revisit one of our favourite topics; racist food names. “Would You Rather” makes an appearance this week as we answer questions sent in via Instagram and fr...

This week the boys are back in the flesh, recording face to face for the first time in 8 months. After getting the customary reaching around out of the way, we begin this week’s episode with a small teaser of our next coning adventure. Rohit then floats other potential prank ideas, alarmingly all of which include 1 year old birthday parties. We end with a mini “Mind Your Manners,” as Rohit recounts his epic tale of survival in a fast food drive through. Next we bring back the always popular “Bul...
Nov 17, 2020•30 min•Season 1Ep. 75
This was a big week for the world, and this podcast, as Kushagra joins Miguel, Rohit and Sen to dissect the most pivotal events from the week (from a betting perspective). We start with another Rohit wallet update as the saga of the world’s most nonchalant robbery seemingly continues. We then discuss the US election, Melbourne Cup, State of Origin and of course, gambling. The ever popular “What is the Question?” is back this week as we are a bit low on content. This week’s edition of “What is th...

Kushagra is back this week for this spooky edition of the podcast. We begin this week with Rohit updating us on his ongoing battle with the man actively stealing his identity. The obvious conclusion we come to is, Rohit taking justice into his own hands and becoming a vigilante. We then get into the halloween spirit as we discuss the nuances of halloween and trick-or-treating. We also discuss other fictional things such as Jesus, Biden winning the election, animal cruelty and Unicorns. #AskTCB i...
Nov 03, 2020•41 min•Season 1Ep. 73
Weirdly sexual episode of the pod this week, as Rohit goes out of his way to make his daddy fetish known. Kushagra fortunately misses out on this sensual experience as we begin this week with a tale of tragedy. Rohit was a victim of a petty crime by an opportunistic criminal and he decides to take justice into his own hands and seek vengeance. After which, he’ll change his name and identity and move to Bankstown for the rest of his days. We then talk about blatant corruption in Australia Post, r...

Big week for the boys at TCB as we finally test out the cone theory, with surprising results, not to mention Kushagra also graces us with his presence. This week we begin with a quick recap and exclusive sneak peek at our coning adventures (be sure to also check out the full video on YouTube). We also get a story about a potential Karen and a small yappy dog and how to carry out revenge against terrible dog owners. New game this week as all the talk about psychos in the previous episode led Sen ...

This week we welcome on board our new sponsors (and very good friends) at MANSCAPED. Kushagra, overcome with so much excitement, embarked on a 5 day bender and has not been seen since and as a result does not feature this week. Nevertheless, the other boys plow on and this week we begin with stories of being stuck, whether it be in the sand, in a cave or in a washing machine with your step-brother playing hide the zucchini. We also discuss a big week in sport and the records that were equalled w...

This week we reach a very important milestone in both the podcast history and in our own personal lives. That's right, we’ve reached Episode 69. Kushagra, however, is again in mourning this week as our glorious leader, President Donald J Trump tests positive for coronavirus, which we discuss in great detail. We also hear Rohit and Miguel’s driving adventures before Sen recounts his run in with a rare Uber driver. The always successful “Finish the Lyric” is back this week, despite both Rohit and ...

Kushagra is in mourning this week after discovering Schoolies had been cancelled for 2020 - he is currently on the Gold Coast partying with other Toolies. Despite this tragic setback, the rest of the boys have picked up the slack in this week’s episode. We start with an update from our friend Jack from last week, before critically analysing the trials and tribulations of the Triwizard Shorenament. Sack whacking, turkey slapping, wet willying and cupcaking sound like a regular Tuesday night for t...
Sep 29, 2020•38 min•Season 1Ep. 68
Kushagra, fresh from the Anti-Lockdown protests, joins us for this week's episode as we begin with a number of updates. We get an update from lovestruck Liam, who was featured in last week’s episode, as well as an update on the great sauce debate, revealing the results from the midweek Instagram poll. Finally we end with an update from Eggboy, who’s undertaken an ambitious rebranding to become Australia’s Deepak Chopra, leading to a philosophical question - how does one become a motivational spe...
Sep 22, 2020•36 min•Season 1Ep. 67
Kush’s student visa extension request was denied this week and as a result he misses the episode due to him being currently on the run from the Department of Immigration - we wish Kush all the best in his endeavours. Back to the episode, and this week we begin with an update from Miguel and Rohit regarding their fitness challenge. We then read some hate comments from our ice-cream tier list, before we talk about sauce again. “What is the Question?” makes a return this week with Sen setting the b...
Sep 15, 2020•31 min•Season 1Ep. 66
This week we talk about incest as Kush graces us with his presence. Kush returns and we discuss incest, coincidence? Probably. After dissecting the nuances of incest and incestuous marriages, we then talk about incest through the lense porn and we ponder the plight of the father of modern day porn, Ron Jeremy. We end with a quick chat about the fraud that is David Blaine. Next we bring back “Bullslut,” with this week's edition featuring challenging topics such as Hip-Hop artists, Shakespeare pla...

Unlike your dad who went to the shop to get milk and never came back, The Critical Banter Podcast returns as promised - jam packed with classic tales of debauchery such as mild hiking and speeding fines. However, we are once again missing fan favourite Kushagra, whose disappearance suspiciously coincides with the public surfacing of the various charges held against his notorious moustache doppelganger Ron Jeremy - a coincidence we’ve been assured by his legal team. This week’s episode kicks off ...
Sep 01, 2020•30 min•Season 1Ep. 64
The good times continue to roll on here at Critical Banter, as Kushagra is still missing this week, presumably too tired after his hotel quarantine security guard shifts. This week’s episode begins with Sen’s epic saga entailing his car, the NRMA and $500. We then revisit our 2 favourite topics: sauce and racist food names. “The Price is Right” also makes it’s long awaited comeback this week, as we head to Gumtree Poland for this edition. This week the boys learn about the Polish Zloty, discuss ...
Aug 25, 2020•32 min•Season 1Ep. 63
The boys, minus Kush, are back after surviving another week without being cancelled. This week’s episode starts with a conversation about the best/weirdest names and nicknames they’ve heard. We then discuss Putin’s corona cure before deep diving into the origins of sauce names. “News or Not” makes a triumphant return this week as Miguel and Sen must decide if Rohit’s headlines are real or not. This week’s edition features cows, rams, Michael Jackson and MILFs. We end this week’s episode with “Cu...
Aug 18, 2020•36 min•Season 1Ep. 62
In what seems to be a recurring theme with this podcast, this week we discuss yet another tyrannical rule and pay tribute to the Mongol sex deviant, Genghis Khan. The episode begins with Rohit trying to justify an act of petty theft (to no avail). Then the boys pray to their Bill Gates overlord as they discuss Tik Tok’s looming and inevitable banning in the US before ending with a wholesome chat about sack whacking and anal fingering with Kushagra clarifying his personal stance on butt stuff. We...
Aug 11, 2020•45 min•Season 1Ep. 61
Things get a little bit totalitarian this week on Critical Banter. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a dictator themed episode, and it most certainly won't be the last time either. We begin with Rohit’s tale of Bush Bashing, which is just as fun as it sounds and suffice to say Rohit’s pampered middle class upbringing did not prepare him for the harsh realities of the Australian bush. We then end with a discussion about Victoria’s extreme Stage 4 lockdown rules as we discover some of the boy's ...
Aug 04, 2020•40 min•Season 1Ep. 60
The boys have been playing far too much Warzone as this week’s episode is packed full of musty Call of Duty references. This week’s episode begins with a risque chat about a certain cheese brand that shall not be named, as Sen and Rohit open themselves up for cancellation. We also talk about the sheer commercialisation of coronavirus where Rohit admits he almost spent $150 on a metal ball. We also get yet another, and almost weekly, rant from Kushagra - this week about useless subjects in high s...
Jul 28, 2020•39 min•Season 1Ep. 59
As parts of Australia begin to head back into lockdown amid the dreaded second wave of Coronavirus, here at Critical Banter we’ve gone in the opposite direction as Kush has finally left his house for the first time in months. To begin this week’s episode we discuss face masks, twitter hacks and the state of Australian TV where things get a bit personal between Kush and Rohit. Finally we end the segment with a classic chat about simps as one of the boys parks the bus and defends their actions. “F...
Jul 21, 2020•34 min•Season 1Ep. 58
This week we pay tribute to our brown brothers and sisters in America. No, we don’t apply for Med School or join a bhangra team, instead we partake in the time honoured Indian tradition that is the Spelling Bee. As per usual however, we begin the episode with the Logue. This week we look at Victoria and how they’ve single handedly screwed, pardon the pun, the rest of the country over. We also look at how even 2 of the world’s mightiest leaders have succumbed to the old rona. Rohit then recounts ...
Jul 14, 2020•33 min•Season 1Ep. 57
This week we’ve got the entire gang again for a second consecutive week. Having all four members of this podcast on for back to back weeks is considered to be a modern day miracle for this podcast. We begin this week with some potentially devastating news for some members of this podcast as well as probably most of our listeners - the future of Tik Tok in Australia. We also discuss a potential Kanye 2020 Presidential run before Rohit exudes his usual rareness, this time with a story of him galav...
Jul 07, 2020•39 min•Season 1Ep. 56
This week marks the much overdue moment long awaited by fans across the world, and it’s not Liverpool winning the Premier League title, but rather Kushagra’s back on the podcast. To mark his triumphant return, we discuss key issues ever present in the societal zeitgeist, such as whether it is appropriate to laugh at someone gagging over a Coronavirus test and what coffee brand George Clooney has shamelessly promoted over the years. This week also marks the return of the game that could single ha...
Jun 30, 2020•32 min•Season 1Ep. 55
This week is all about Mia Khalifa, finally. It only took a year, but this podcast has finally reached the depths that we all knew it was capable of. Kushagra, an ardent Mia Malkova fan, boycotts this week's episode as Sen, Miguel and Rohit all wax lyrical about Mia Khalifa and ponder her place in the pantheon of adult film star greats. After spending a bit too much time talking about Mia Khalifa, the boys decide to continue with the rest of the episode as we discuss Marcus Rashford, Frankie the...
Jun 23, 2020•35 min•Season 1Ep. 54
Kushagra misses this week’s episode as he instead chooses to deface and pull down statues of Captain Cook around Sydney. Unfortunately for him, however, he misses our most existential episode yet, as the full effects of isolation and Coronavirus become evident. We start this week's episode with a pop quiz on the mustiest countries in the world, before Rohit reveals the full extent of his ongoing quarter life crisis which has led to a very expensive purchase. We also discuss the kinds of “guy/gir...

What do Donald Trump and Kushagra have in common? They both spent significant time last week hiding in secret underground bunkers. Oh, and they both wear a toupee. Kushagra joins us this week live from his underground bunker, as we continue to record remotely. This week’s episode starts with a “friendly” competition between Miguel and Rohit, in honour of the gym's reopening in Australia and yet another example of toxic masculinity on this podcast. We then have the final instalment of The Best Fr...

The good times just keep rolling on here at the Critical Banter podcast and this week is no different. Australia has begun lifting Coronavirus restrictions, however the boys continue to insist on recording virtually, fearing a second wave or a Chernobyl-like event. Like every week, the episode begins with the Logue and we cover important stories from the week like Cumgate and Kmart in Mecca, before diving into some of the scams that we’ve fallen for or have witnessed. We also have the third edit...
Jun 02, 2020•41 min•Season 1Ep. 51
This week we recount the epic conclusion to our month long Mexican saga - the story of #TheRedemptionBurrito. The episode starts with a discussion about dole bludgers and the biggest mistakes made at work before we turn our attention to the hate aimed at us on Facebook for our chip tier list from last week’s episode. Instead of apologising, we decided to do a Kevin Spacey and double down, replying to several commenters with snarky insults and thinly veiled death threats, just an all round mature...
