TGIF, am I right? And TGIDF, too, because we've got a brand new episode landing right in your feeds, right now. This is a bit of a catch-all episode, with some discussion of human unity, a double dose of Science News, and some wide-ranging chat about smoking, fast food, and the long-awaited kangaroo story. So sit back, order some takeaway, and kick the weekend off right. This episode's mistakes include:
- A luxuriously loose amble from topic to topic.
- A truly baffling mispronunciation toward the end.
- Attempting to induce the listeners to join a religion.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Sit back, relax, and pipe a bit of this hot audio sauce right down your ear tubes. We're back and better than ever, literally. Now that Michael has actually turned on his new microphone, this is officially the Best Sounding Episode Ever. And what a week to debut, with a bit more Louie follow-up and a discussion about the most dangerous companies in the world. This episode's mistakes include:
- Nothing. This is episode is perfect.
- It is impossible to describe Episode 108 as anything other than a masterclass in the audio medium, destined to be looked back on by future generations as a pinnacle of early 21st century culture.
- Okay, yes, Michael didn't know what thrush is.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Happy new year, and what better place to start things off than with a discussion about Louis C.K.'s return to the spotlight and most recent controversial set. It's possibly the most focused we've ever been, which is kind of astonishing. Hope you're doing well too, by the way. This episode's mistakes include:
- Some fuzz on Michael's end due to new mic setup and a roaring laptop fan.
- Minimal seggies but huge cliffhanger.
- Two hours of fucking around on Australian internet to get this shit uploaded. 🤬
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

As we close in on closing out the show for the year, come along with us on a loose and lightweight episode full of merriment and spirits. We were in the same location again so the episode is slightly messier and slightly drunker, but hey, it's the holidays. This episode's mistakes include:
- In-room audio, but it's actually pretty damn good.
- A minor moment of self-reflection, but then we get to topics with wide appeal (toothpaste).
- Not enough time devoted to certain topics (toothpaste).
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

What am I doing? If you've ever wondered that, congratulations, you're doing better than many. We put the Dunning-Kruger effect and the perils of self-awareness under a microscope to see how people can be so bad and yet so confident. It takes some twists and turns but it ends with Joke Time (new segment). This episode's mistakes include:
- Some unusual vibes at the start that level out over time.
- A couple interesting tangents that leave behind the original topic.
- Obvious edit points when Michael compliments Nick.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Would you visit a remote Indian island to convert an untouched neolithic tribe to Christianity? This guy did. Not me, obviously, another guy. In the story. We talk about it. Anyway, apologies for any spluttering in this one as we were both getting over a cold, but for the most part I think we've edited it out. (The royal 'we', of course.) This episode's mistakes include:
- Nasal tones and the odd odd pause.
- 8% less funny, 15% more wisdom.
- No welcome to the next one hundred.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

If you could erase someone from your memory, would you do it? And to whom? That's the big question at hand this week, and it's wrapped in talk of the midterm elections and a fascinating nugget of science news. So don't delay, this is one spicy meatball!! This episode's mistakes include:
- Saving our best segment for last.
- No tip of the week to help you get through life a little easier.
- A soupçon of existentialism right in the heart of an otherwise focused episode.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Books. We've all seen them, but are they any good? That's the subject of this episode as we delve into the implications of the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Plus, there are spillages, breaks from reality, and even some sex advice. This episode's mistakes include:
- Still trying to sort out some audio issues here and there, but it's better than it was.
- Not getting to listener questions again.
- Misstating Adam Sandler's age as 51 when he's 52.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Welcome to the next one hundred, and our brand new look (thanks Sean)! We needed a bit of a nap after the last episode, but now we've woken up to discover that the world is ending in 12 years. So, we had a bit to talk about. Plus, some exciting messages made our way to the mailbag. This episode's mistakes include:
- Wild audio variation. Sorry, levels were all over the place this time. I tried.
- Used a lot of power to render out an audio file during a podcast about cutting carbon emissions.
- Huge cliffhanger left dangling until next time.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello hello, and thank you all! We've hit triple digits and want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to everyone that has come along for the ride across the past four-ish years. We'd also like to welcome the new listeners we've picked up along the way, possibly off the back of an unexpectedly successful dog-related Facebook post (who knew?).
This is a pretty jam-packed episode. There's one of Michael's most amazing stories ever, some gift-giving, and a few fun surprises as well. So as we cross the threshold into the next century, know that this episode's mistakes include:
- Varying audio because Garageband decided to just stop recording Michael a couple of times.
- A bunch of promised 100th content deferred for time.
- Tonal whiplash across various segments.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.
