Hello friends, and particularly those in lockdown here in New Zealand. It's been strange times of late, but we're here to take your mind off things. We're talking about getting jabbed, about migraine solutions, and most importantly, about eggs. This episode's mistakes include:
- Weird News is Sad News, so be forewarned, and feel free to skip the chapter.
- Fundamental misunderstandings of how islands work.
- Missed opportunity to mention how Budapest was once Pest-Buda.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Stop what you're doing and look at me! I'm a podcast and I deserve to be listened to! In this ep, we wend our way through some more Recommendation Engine, which leads to a discussion of Matt Damon, which leads into a discussion of cancel culture. And then we cap it all off with a terrific Science News, which you can read here. This episode's mistakes include:
- Omitting several interesting topics in service of our next episode.
- Wearing our Mattfleck love on our chest.
- Buckwild declaration at the very end by Michael.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Good afternoon, and thank you all for coming. We hope you're ready for some commentary, because it's time for a patented Deep Dive™ into Nick's comedy series Good Grief. We're walking through some of the writing process, the creative decisions and challenges, and how it feels to see your words translated into a visual medium. Be aware that we do spoil some character and comedy beats, but it's pretty clearly signposted, and there's still plenty more to enjoy if you want to skip to other chapters for now – including vaxx chat and a Recommendation Engine. This episode's mistakes include:
- Forgetting many other interesting Good Grief development nuggets.
- More Skype lag shenanigans. Sigh.
- You cannot kill abstract emotional concepts like 'dread'.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Wassup, wonderfuls? We're keeping your ears warm in these wintry months with a fresh new dose of pod, just like grandma used to make. This week, Nick's show Good Grief launched on SBS, but we're saving our discussion of it until you've all had a chance to watch. Instead, it's all about vaccinations, cavepeople, sponsorships, relationship advice, and a brand new segment from Michael - with jingle. This episode's mistakes include:
- Recorded before we knew about SBS debut/Melbourne lockdown #5.
- No accompanying visuals for 'What's Under My Desk?'
- Suspicions of audio tampering.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Good morrow, ladies and gentleman, and may the gods smile upon you this fine day. We're back with a twofer, in that we tried to record last week but were sabotaged by poor internet and gave up halfway through. As you will see, this results in an episode recorded across a week, with interesting results. This episode's mistakes include:
- More jokes falling flat than usual due to lag.
- Nick stumbled over a word once.
- Bitlyball jingle now too short.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Oi, you there! Put that bagel down – you won't need smoked salmon where you're going! (Audio heaven.) We're talking schoolyard shame, we're talking radio pranksters, we're talking dumpling reviews, and we're talking euthanasia. Something for everyone! This episode's mistakes include:
- Aperitifs are pre-dinner drinks.
- Misremembered a key detail about the podcast prank (stay tuned for next ep).
- 5G and zero-G are different.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Dun dun dun dun.... oooo-eeee-oooo-eeee-eeee-oooh..... (X-Files theme). Welcome to an interstellar ep of Deep Fought as Michael takes the reins to talk UAPs (that's UFOs for all you sheeple out there). We explore the implications of extraterrestrial arrivals and just how it might change the world. Plus we have our first ever paid sponsor! Big day! This episode's mistakes include:
- Not long enough.
- Completely fumbled the opportunity to talk about Lost.
- No Bitlyball this week.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Greetings, friends, to what offhand feels like probably the longest episode we've ever done. But you'll be pleased to know that it's packed full of goodies and substance, not ramble. We're talking travel, we're talking Elon Musk, we're talking billionaires, and nosy grannies, and even have time to debut our brand new game, Bitlyball. It's a monster, but a good monster, like Frankenstein or Franken, Al. This episode's mistakes include:
- Overindulgent new jingle.
- Uhh... were we mean to Elon again??
- Look, I can't remember what else might be wrong, I spent all day on the jingle okay.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Another break, but this one more excusable, because Nick was in Australia again for the first time in 16ish months. Better yet, he was in Melbourne, which means this is an in-person podcast. The bad news is, the audio is all over the place because we've lost the skills to make good recordings in the same room. But hopefully our charm and charisma will paper over those flaws. This episode's mistakes include:
- Aforementioned echoes and glitches.
- What, did you think we'd talk about something other than ourselves?
- Okay, we do talk about Elon Musk for a bit. #hottake
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello, dear friend. Such a long time has passed since last we spoke, and yet so little has changed. I love how easily you and I slip back into these easy rhythms together. It's something special. A testament to our connection after all these years – in fact, today is our seventh anniversary since launch. Let's not leave it so long next time, eh? This episode's mistakes include:
- A sprinkling of light heresy.
- Cancelling Tom Hanks.
- Too much testosterone.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.
