Deep Fought

Here we are, barely five days after our last episode, with another great instalment! This week - bearing in mind of course that it's within the same week as our last episode, but I digress - this week we are talking whether people should be resuscitated and about euthanasia. So, another light topic then. This episode's mistakes include:A unique beginning to the episode resulting in aural uncertainty.Energy deflation from leading to a slump two-thirds through.An oddly political tangent at the end about one of the day's news stories.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Soldier on, and like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, rate us on iTunes, and email us questions at deepfought@gmail.com.

Episode 26 is finally here, despite it not yet being the six month anniversary of our first recording. Work that out. (No seriously, can you work that out for us?) We get enjoyably fatalistic and dark this week, which if you're a regular listener of the show you must have a liking for, or at the very least a tolerance of by now. This episode's mistakes include:Being a few days late, despite the fact we gave you notice so it's hardly a mistake now is it?Complicated discussion of paradoxes and fate that confused both of us, even though we were the ones talking.Outlining a really good movie idea in considerable detail for anyone to steal.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Make it happen, and then like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, rate us on iTunes, and send questions to deepfought@gmail.com.

We're celebrating the twenty-fifth episode in the way we mark all the big podcast episodes: underwhelmingly. With two gracious international travellers watching on, we fumble our way through several topics until ending up on the idea of subjective perceptions of reality. It's a slog until then, though. Ah well. This episode's mistakes include:Self-consciousness impeding the natural flow of discussion.Fewer racial epithets than normal.EDIT 1/9/14: Actual problems with first audio file, so delete and redownload for the proper experience.Egregious factual inaccuracies.See the world, and then like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and rate us on iTunes.

Welcome back, friends, to our regularly scheduled programming. This week, we delve into a proper topic: robot morality and the decisions we'll have to make about how our computers behave. It's a good, classic style episode rife with futurology and utopian aspiration. This episode's mistakes include:Overeagerness to discuss the many facets of the topic, resulting in shallower discussion of some aspects.Only including three errors in the blog post instead of the usual four.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Follow the rules, and follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

This episode we talk about Robin Williams and some of the things that happened this week as a result. It's a bit of a departure for us since it doesn't really have a question, which is weird, but we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next time. This episode's mistakes include:A distinct lack of comedy due to the subject matter.Overly long breakdown of petition-related shenanigans.Lack of question resulting in lack of focus.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Breathe out, and follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

This week's topic is, eventually, about ancestry. How much do we share with our parents and grandparents, and where are we now in our lives relative to them? Of course, since we have a guest - Michael's cousin Dan - it takes a long while to get there. No surprises. This episode's mistakes include:Spending more time on tangents to the topic than the topic itself.Getting the audio pretty damn good when by now the audience demands mediocrity.Dan hyping up the awesome name he thought of and then forgetting to tell anyone at the end.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Pass it on, and follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

Come one, come all, for the circus is in town. This week we ramble our way around the topic of things we couldn't live without, which ends up being slightly more interesting than we expected. This episode's mistakes include:A blatant disregard for the topic at hand.Work experience kid being forced to write the blog post.please get me out of here they took my keysEgregious factual inaccuracies.Call the police, and follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

It's a very special episode for a very special anniversary. I'm not going to ruin anything here by going into more detail. Our love and thanks to those of you who have listened to any of the past twenty episodes. This episode's mistakes include:Schizophrenic audio, and it might be a tad quiet too.Overly meta and introspective discussion that folds in on itself.Our shirts were untucked in our podcast tuxes.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Thank you. Follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

We tackle the big question this week. The Big Question. With real dedication and everything, and minimal (for us) tangents. You'll like it, hopefully. Plus, we hint at our preparations for next week's big episode, if you pay enough attention. This episode's mistakes include:Unacknowledged product placement by Google.Using Michael's selfie for the podcast image.Tackling material that could leave listeners with a gaping emptiness at the core of their existence.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Feel it happen. Plus, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

After a full weekend and an intense last podcast, this week's episode is a gentle deflation in which we sat down and then realised we needed to think of a question. So be pre-warned that this falls within the less focussed subset of our oeuvre, despite the eventual big ticket topic of global warming. This episode's mistakes include:Low energy levels and poor planning resulting in lots of tangential chatter.The particularly egregious statement that baby boomers were born out of the sexual revolution of the sixties and not the post-war 1940s boom.Allowing the work experience kid to open the door midway through.Plus, many other egregious factual inaccuracies.Sleep it off, and then follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

Hmm. So, this one is dark. We welcomed back Ben Zubreckyj, Michael's brother, for the first time since the first podcast. The good news that the audio is several magnitudes improved since then, and we have also - for the first time - made a three person podcast sound audibly balanced. Hooray! The bad news is that we get to a surprisingly honest place here on the back of a misinterpretation of the original question. Weird. This episode's mistakes include:A fundamental misunderstanding of the question that leads to some brutal honesty.Repeated instances of three people talking on top of each other to near unintelligible garble.Forgetting that the podcast is for the enjoyment of other listeners and discussing ourselves too much.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Take it on the chin, and build from it. Plus, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

Come one, come all and revel in a brand new episode. This week we have special guest Eleanor to add a little bit of overdue female balance to the show. This is a fun podcast in which we talk about what we want to be when we grow up in only the most superficial sense possible. This episode's mistakes include:Poor audio balance due to the addition of a guest. Sadly, Eleanor starts off at a good level and then becomes very quiet. At least we follow in the storied tradition of never successfully having a guest on the show.Too much fun, leading to us constantly talking over one another.Only passing mention that we were all drinking Traditional Afternoon tea.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Trust yourself, and you can do anything.

Guten tag, lads and gents. We are pleased to present you with yet another episode for aural digestion. This week, we talk broadly about inventions while freely diverging into discussion of, amongst other things, tribal cultures and peaches. That said, we're surprisingly on topic for once so full marks to us. This episode's mistakes include:No Ben as a guest host despite our episode number being a multiple of five.Microphone did not pick up pleasing gentle rainfall in background.#tuna.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Plus, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at deepfought@gmail.com.

Greetings, and welcome to the first show of 2024. I know what you're thinking - "Hold on Michael, it's only 2013!" Well, you're wrong. Nick's the one who writes these blog posts. And also, we're talking about waking up after being in a coma, and retrograde amnesia, and also time travel, mostly because we didn't really know what the topic was about. But thanks for your support regardless. This episode's mistakes include:Beverage-free recording, with neither tea to warm us nor alcohol to loosen our tongues.Excised introduction segments after the reveal of something that a listener shouldn't know. (Guess in the comments!)All numbers mentioned were in base 7.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Live your dreams. Also, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, and rate us on the iTunes Store if you like.

This ramshackle episode brought to you Coyote Ugly®, now on Blu-Ray thanks to Buena Vista Home Entertainment. This week, we discuss whether we'd rather be brilliant at one thing, or pretty good at everything. It leads to less interesting conversation than you may expect, which in itself is probably what you expected. We've tweaked our audio setup again, so hopefully it will be louder for people. This episode's mistakes include:Repeated departures of one host from the room, lending an unsettling air to the podcast.A chronic inability to actually discuss the question at hand for more than two minutes at a time.Possible background tunes.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Chase your dreams.

Yay, another good one. We had cups of tea again, and yet surprisingly it didn't kill the energy. Now that's progress. We talk a bit about superpowers (listener suggested) and a lot about other stuff. Send questions to deepfought@gmail.com. This episode's mistakes include:We know lots of you love to discover what audio issue we have each podcast, and are sorry to disappoint you with high quality sound this week.Wavering focus that lead to sporadic discussion of the topic at hand.Incurring the wrath of highly-trained armed soldiers.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Push through the pain.

Another week plus one day, another podcast. Late again, this time due to interstate travel and birthday recuperation, we can nevertheless assure you that this episode is much more on point than the dross we uploaded last week. It's a vaguely happy one, too, like we've turned a corner. Well, maybe not. This episode's mistakes include:Persistent bird chirping in the background due to daytime recording.The interruption of a phone call at an inopportune moment.An unsatisfactory conclusion to a recurrent promise made over three weeks.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Back in the swing of things.

We've definitely plateaued, because somehow our audio quality was rough this week. Very quiet. We've tried to fix it after the fact but it's all just a bit fuzzy. Luckily it's hard to be that disappointed with it since you'll be too disappointed in the uninteresting and dull content. Apparently Michael shouldn't drink tea during the podcast. This episode's mistakes include:Fuzziness as the lesser of two audio evils, the alternative being high background whirr from correcting low recording levels. So yeah, we know, you'll have to turn up the volume a lot. Sorry.A general unfunniness and lack of energy due to sobriety.The unfulfilled promise of a celebrity appearance.Egregious factual inaccuracies.We promise to fall off the wagon next week.

And our apologies to you for being late this week. We know that the relationship between podcaster and podcastee is a sacred bond, and feel nothing but the deepest regret for letting you down. Still, it's an upbeat happy episode to counteract what some called "too depressing" last week. So, our apologies for that as well. This episode's mistakes include:A general sense of guilt about our tardiness that permeates the entire discussion.Uncomfortable silences as we contemplate our own lack of positive actions towards others.Terrible improvisational skills.Egregious factual inaccuracies.Pay it forward.

We're back to our old tricks this week: depressing topics. Yes, it's an overly long, noticeably less focussed episode, even by our standards. What do you want to find out at the pearly gates? Expect many distractions and diversions. This episode's mistakes include:The encore performance of the famous mic wobble.A pathological inability to actually answer the question.Forgot to include picture of sponsored items in accompanying blog post.Egregious factual inaccuracies.That said, these are the only mistakes we ever could have made.
