Lukewarm take on old news.
Being gaslit about the title of a film.
Not enough Thom Yorke content.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Melbourne and Christchurch, please welcome to the stage a brand new pod! In this supersized episode, we go deep in the reeds of Thom Yorke's Everything tour, which we were both lucky enough to recently attend. But if Radiohead is not your thing, fear not, for we also touch on why ghosts wear sheets, solar panel politeness, Pokémon cards, sleep yelps, and in a very special Deep Fought After Dark™, we place our bets on the outcome of the American election. This episode's mistakes include:
Indulgent length.
Excessive music nerdery.
Repeated ineffective outro attempts.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Good evening, and welcome to another distinguished meeting of the Deeply Fought Discussion Society. This week, Prof. Zubreckyj has brought a tantalising titbit for one's contemplation: just what, precisely, makes something pretentious? Our respectful tête-à-tête leads to unexpected destinations; our travel companion, sparkling repartee. This episode's mistakes include:
The video call shitting the bed and requiring 30 minutes of tech diagnostics mid-pod.
Misquoting a Radiohead lyric and then fixing it in post in humiliation.
Selling out one's confetti principles for money.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Look what we have here – a brand new pod, full of puppies and placebos! Yes, we talk about being Dog Daddies™, and then move on to some interesting Science News about the placebo effect and its evil opposite, the nocebo. Do you worry that doesn't sound like your thing? That's probably just the nocebo effect in action, so you should listen anyway. This episode's mistakes include:
Petty competitiveness about dog superiority.
Too many hand gestures for an audio podcast.
Excessive sound effects.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Uh-oh. If I'm interpreting that episode title right, this sounds like another one of those classic episodes where Nick baits Michael into humiliating himself live on pod. Well, I certainly hope it's not as bad as we expect!! This episode's mistakes include:
Forgot it was Gap that botched their logo redesign.
Unhinged tooth flavour allegations.
Not accepting Mary Magdalene as a real person.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Greeting, and welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming. Yes, we're releasing on time, we're talking AI romance, and we're talking dolphins. Boom – add another classic pod to the list. This episode's mistakes include:
A period in the middle where Michael's audio stopped recording so we defaulted to the Skype backup sorry.
False burglar alarm.
Lack of clarity about if the outro will or will not be included in the podcast.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello hello, and apologies for the delay. It was a bit of a hectic weekend for both of us, so this pod is about the latest developments in our slow amble towards Grown-Up status. I won't dawdle with any more blurb since we're already behind time. This episode's mistakes include:
Delayed release.
Dog interruptions.
Undeserved mailbag hostility.

Lace your trainers, do some dynamic stretching, and head for the starting line, because this week we're talking about the Olympics – what we think of it, ways to improve it, and what went viral at Paris 2024. Plus, we talk beta males, alarm bells, and couscous, so we've still got you covered if sports aren't your thing. This episode's mistakes include:
Aggressive tone at the start.
Lots of puppy talk.
Too many '90s hits.

We're talking Biden, we're talking Kamala, we're talking apricot chicken, we're talking dental appliances. Plus, a fun surprise guest on the pod this week! Let's get to it. This episode's mistakes include:
Brunch slander.
Some of the most disturbing ASMR you've ever heard.
Woeful recollection of the McDonald's jingle.

Well, damn. We're living in eventful times, and we just happened to be recording on the day when it all went down. So we're back on the American politics bandwagon to discuss the attempted Trump assassination. The good news is, we already had a full agenda, so we're also bringing some George Clooney News, complaining about Uber, and miffing again. This episode's mistakes include:
Inversion of host/sidekick roles.
Immediately being out of date due to recording while news was still breaking.
Misquoting Destiny's Child lyrics.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Papers, please. Yes, we're broadly tackling the topic of national security this week, from two directions. First, we touch on the Biden vs Trump debate and what the best path forward might be based on the data. And second, we discuss Julian Assange's release and the necessity of state secrets. If that sounds a bit full on, don't worry, because this one is actually Rather Silly™, and includes plenty of miffs, popes, and dick jokes. This episode's mistakes include:
Some audio echoes due to leaky headphones, sorry.
Failing to remember that the 'quantity over quality' debate strategy is named the 'Gish gallop'.
Not naming the episode 'Quiz Is Not Jizz'.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello, hello, hello! How's life? This week we're discussing the balance between work, life, and your passions, in a long and wide-reaching chat that also touches on family dynamics and external vs internal validation. Good stuff. Don't worry, there's plenty of nonsense too, including musician aesthetics and hospital hatred. This episode's mistakes include:
Suggesting God should love all his children unequally.
Pronouncing Adam DeVine like Adam Levine.
Soliciting pharmaceuticals through the mail.

Order! Order in the court! Yes, we're talking about Trump's conviction this week, and what it means for him and for America at large. But that's not all – we discuss Civil War (the movie), civil war (the cultural inevitability), birthday card disposal, concert etiquette, and even the hot new saint whose rizz is on fleek. This episode's mistakes include:
Referring to an A note as D♭.
Intense ASMR foley work.
Describing a saint's rizz as "on fleek".

Good evening all, and good tidings to you. This short, sharp, and shiny show is all about the science behind happiness, and the proven ways to achieve it. You know what makes me happy? A little bit of Michael's Miffed, and a little bit of a Rec Engine™ – and funny enough, that's exactly what you'll get at the tail end of this cheery pod. This episode's mistakes include:
Did not greet each other as kings.
Jatz slander.
Forgetting at least good three things to rec in Rec Engine™.

How we all doing tonight? We're talking comedy this episode, first with a spoiler-filled dive into the jokes and story beats of Good Grief season 2, and then with a long discussion of some recent stand-up specials, and Jerry Seinfeld's comments bemoaning a world gone woke. So settle in for a fun chat about the challenge of being funny (alternate title for this podcast). This episode's mistakes include:
A bit of an exclusionary topic if you're not into this sort of thing.
Not calling each other 'king' enough.
Inviting the wrath of Dwayne Johnson.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Surprised to see us? I thought it was pretty clear, but no, the show is not over. We're back this week to talk about dentistry, playing host, and then we dive deep behind the scenes of Good Grief season two, airing now on NITV and SBS On Demand. We don't spoil any plot points, so feel free to listen even if you're not caught up. There's a lot of explanation of process, arts funding, and how the television sausage gets made. This episode's mistakes include:
A couple of audio hiccups when Michael's recording shat itself.
Starting and then abandoning a story about butter chicken.
Did not spend eighty hours writing another original song.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Okay, wow. Ten years ago today we officially launched Deep Fought, and who'd have thought we'd make it this far? We're gonna let this pod speak for itself, but our enormous thanks to you and anyone who ever tuned in along the way. It really means everything to us. This episode's mistakes include:
Finally hitting on a good podcast name ten years too late.
Another of what was apparently too many hiking stories.
Unexpected feels.

Hello. Look, it's been a long day for both you and me, so let's get right to the point. It's a light episode, with a couple of death-defying tales, some animal stories, a discussion of ancient homosexuality, an interrogation, and our usual nonsense. It's fun, so stop reading and start breeding. (NOTE: Change this line before upload!!) This episode's mistakes include:
Misnaming the great British actor 'Sir Ian McKennan'.
Loose connection between title and content.
A lot of things bleeped for privacy.

Hello, hello, and welcome to a great one. That's not a joke. Michael has been on a bit of a personal journey, and we delve into the discoveries, diagnosis, and delights thereafter. Plus, if you're wondering what happened all our Meta accounts last week, we've got a story about that too. It's big, it's brash, and it's got balls – in that we literally discuss them in Science News. This episode's mistakes include:
One notably unusual pronunciation of 'scheme'. Listen out for it!
Forgot to offer disclaimer that this is Deep Fought is not medical advice.
Accidentally revealed extremely personal information.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello again, and welcome back to this debate on the value of fact-based reporting in contrast to 'both sides' journalism. It's a great episode, though some listeners disagree, and we have no way of telling you who is right or wrong. Plus we hit on our usual nonsense – body hair, tarot cards, pigeon spies, and more. This episode's mistakes include:
Complete dearth of knowledge around alopecia, male pattern baldness, and female pattern baldness.
Deep dive musicianship lesson right up front.
Giving astrology short shrift, but hey, that's classic Taurus rebelliousness for you.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.
