This is a meaty one. We explore whether there are aspects of culture and life that are immutable. What parts of the human experience are permanent, and which parts could we stand to leave behind? Michael's brother Ben returns again to join us in this wide-ranging but surprisingly focussed discussion. This episode's mistakes include:
- Killing a puppy live on air.
- Leaving interesting topics behind without fulling exploring them.
- Not dressing the part.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Please put phones on silent in preparation for a loose chat that touches on some recent movies and their accompanying scores. It's of mild interest to both you and us, so we have that in common. This episode's mistakes include:
- Low energy and no real question leading to slow rambling.
- Spending a lot of time waiting on YouTube to buffer.
- Not editing out the time waiting on YouTube to buffer.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Greetings, Earthlings. This week we talk about the growing interconnectedness of our species and the spread of globalisation across the... globe. It actually gets kind of good, much to our communal surprise. This episode's mistakes include:
- Cutting out a good five plus minutes of Helen Hunt chat for time. AND IT WAS ALL GOLD.
- Finding our way into an interesting topic and having to leave many interesting areas untouched.
- Allowing Michael some say over the episode title.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Ooohhh, what a haunting episode! It's almost All Hallows' Eve, so we got into costume for our thirty-third consecutive Great Episode. We eventually talk about some phobias and little things that frighten us. This episode's mistakes include:
- Recording at Nick's house for the first time ever, forever ruining our streak.
- Animal guests did not equally contribute to the discussion at hand.
- Long-winded and scatterbrained introduction before finally getting on topic.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

You've been waiting patiently. Too patiently, I think. Almost as if to suggest you weren't interested. Well bugger it, I wanted to. I'm a goddamn host, I can do what I want. Ahem. So, we talk over some of the implications of the new legislation on the table and the role and duty the government has in national security. This episode's mistakes include:
- Occasional audio hiccups due to new operating system and very close microphone talking.
- Erratic and circuitous debate of topics without much deep diving into any one subject.
- Blog post accidentally included ASIO filter trigger word; your visit to this page has been recorded. REDACTED
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Welcome back to a quiet episode, with both Michael and Nick recovering from the weekend's activities. As a result, we take a somewhat circuitous route to the media that influenced us as children. It's a nostalgic, easy episode that we phoned in for you. You're welcome. This episode's mistakes include:
- Low energy levels from both hosts for the start, before picking up again as the topic warmed up.
- Forgetting the name of classic '90s childrens' juggling toy 'Diabolo'.
- Waves of nostalgia and associated peaking audio levels.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

And you thought we weren't gonna podcast this week. Well you're right, because it's basically next week already. Whose fault is that? We'll leave that to you to decide. This week, we talked about life out there in the deep reaches of space. Have we, mankind, ever encountered extra-terrestrial life? Has Michael? You might be surprised. This episode's mistakes include:
- Incredible delay on the recording and posting of this week's episode.
- Sober participants with a bit of a long run up to the topic.
- Surface-level engagement with the potential discussion points (but what's new?).
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Ladies and gentlemen, is what we talk about this week. Sorry for that misleading comma. Yes, with Nick sick and Eleanor sitting in, we sit down to talk about our perceived pros and cons of the opposite gender. It's a surprisingly on topic discussion, and it also stretches a bit longer than average (but not as ridiculously so as last week). I think you'll find it much more interesting though. Anyway, this episode's mistakes include:
- Addressing delicate gender topics with a 2:1 male to female ratio on the podcast.
- A disgusting nasal tone from Nick as a result of his death flu.
- An inherently surface-level discussion of complex issues.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

You didn't ask for it, but you got it! A megasode of roughly an hour, talking solely about each other. It's Harsh Truths Part Two! Special guest Ben returns to ask the question: how do you think you are perceived by others, and how are you really? There is plenty of discussion of common human behaviour, or at least that's what we told ourselves before resuming the narcissism again. This episode's mistakes include:
- The familiar sting of poorly balanced three-way audio. The guest's curse strikes again!
- Pushing an hour for the first time in twenty-eight episodes, and pushing audience patience at the same time.
- Narcissism, but we've always been the best at that of anyone we know.
- Egregious factual inaccuracies.

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.
