Take your shirt off and relax with a meaty new episode in which we pitch brand new product ideas to a rich and successful panel of investor. Plus, a wide-ranging discussion on American politics, other good podcasts, and more. This episode's mistakes include:
- Giving away all our good, untrademarked ideas.
- Forgetting to mention the good soundtrack of Joker.
- Ending the first date abruptly.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Welcome back, friends. How was your holiday? Michael has returned too, so this week we learn a bit about Sri Lanka and then dive into a properly existential question of whether we're all living in a simulation. Plus, some interesting Science News and a revelatory mailbag. This episode's mistakes include:
- Hiding one big new development from this description.
- Michael's good audio died halfway through so we jumped to my Skype recording backup, sorry.
- Forgot to declare international travel as business expense for tax purposes.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate it, and for everyone else, we have a new episode of the pod for you. We're back in the land of the hypothetical, as we cook up our best escape plans, so we can cut and run when the going gets tough. There are many important considerations and also fake names. This episode's mistakes include:
- Burning all our great ideas, so now we can't use them.
- Missed obvious opportunity for John West Tuna angling sponsorship.
- Cliffhanger ending.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Oof. We've been through hell this week to bring you a podcast about war - and don't worry, we discuss whether a comparison like that is appropriate in the episode itself. It was a Skype record with constant interruptions, but the end result is a peek behind the curtain of our production process, offering insights the New York Times called "illuminating" and "heartbreaking." This episode's mistakes include:
- Drawing attention to the problem instead of making it go away.
- Growing increasingly broken as humans across the episode.
- Michael said Chinese is read right to left but that mostly changed in the 1950s after the communist revolution, and the increasing exposure to Western character sets made the unwieldiness of rotating a vertical paper to parse English words apparent. Thus, all newspapers changed to a horizontal left-to-right alignment, and today most real-world Chinese signage is now written to match.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Tuck yourself in, and snuggle up close to us for an episode all about sleep. We're talking about the physiological ramifications of not getting those eight hours, the perks and negatives of being a night owl, as well as if there's anything to be understood from your dreams. This episode's mistakes include:
- Accidentally closing this tab before uploading and having to retype all this shit goddamn it fuck.
- Missed opportunity for ASMR spinoff podcast.
- Burning bridges in the aioli community.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Booyakasha, it's time to get real. Michael Zubreckyj presents: Deep Fought, and things are gonna be a bit different around these parts. We recorded this late and loose, so we're talking about art and intentionality, and why Jupiter is so important. This episode's mistakes include:
- Making Nick edit the podcast as per usual.
- Recording at 12:30am NZ time.
- Quality ending.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Gather round, friends, for we bring strange tidings. It's a science-y episode in which we deep dive into the CRISPR baby scandal, and discuss the genetic manipulation of embryos and the implications thereof. Plus, we've got a little bit of telepathy and ANIMA chat. This episode's mistakes include:
- Opening ourselves up to cyberattack by the Chinese government.
- Missed opportunity for bat repellent sponsorship.
- Should have plugged The Sinking City harder.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Did we really record this, or is it just machine learning mashing noises we previously made into brand new content? That's the question at hand this week, as we deep dive into deepfakes, and how they should be regulated on social media. There's plenty of interesting offshoots, so we hope you enjoy. This episode's mistakes include:
- A bit of lag on the Skype call this week, so forgive a bit of choppiness as we occasionally talk on top of each other.
- Probably too much bonus reading, including:
- Fart fart fart fart.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

In an exciting turn of events, this week's episode is distinctly more authoritative thanks to both Michael and Nick now entering their thirties. In a less exciting turn of events, it's a bit of a pot pourri, as we recap how we celebrated our birthdays, and touch on a bunch of Hollywood topics including Keanu Reeves, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Liam Neeson, Seth Rogen, and Demetri Martin. This episode's mistakes include:
- Audio ghosts in first version uploaded - you may want to delete this episode and redownload to make sure you've got the fixed one.
- No clear theme but plenty of variety.
- Some negative energy directed at you, our beloved listeners.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Get your tickets, because it's semifinal time at the old playing field and we've got a corporate box from which to watch all the action. That's right, we're talking sport, and specifically the challenges facing the categorisation and inclusion of trans and intersex athletes. It's a pretty in-depth chat, so make sure you stock up on soggy hot chips at half time. This episode's mistakes include:
- No health and dietary warnings about chessboards.
- Started with a joke, ended with a joke, but in the middle... not so much.
- 1x1 actually equals 2.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.
