Ahoy hoy! We're back with our regularly scheduled programming – a discussion of complex interlinking government ID policies and the limitations on access to the internet for minors. Hooray!

Not trying the nose expanders live on pod.
No butterfly trigger warnings.
Stating that the Scoville testing dissolves chillies in water when they are in fact dissolved in an alcohol solution then diluted in sugar water.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Greetings, devoted listener, and thank you for your time. Today we have a meaty pod to catch up on all the world's – well, to be honest, just America's – recent events. We're talking free speech, we're talking Kimmel, but then as a palate cleanser we're back with the 2025 edition of Ringtone Review. It's a fun and flavourful one. This episode's mistakes include:
Hot takes on cold news.
Medium takes on road trip snacks.
Sexy takes on ringtones.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

G'day mates. New month, new pod, same old, same old. We're talking about the psychological impact of name phonetics and how it impacts your job prospects, as well as a few broader dives into childhood injuries and social abstinence. We also rustle through the mailbag, and end with a game of Celebrity Net Worth, for old time's sake. This episode's mistakes include:
Dismissing the health benefits of reiki.
Dismissing the taste benefits of parsley.
Dismissing the sound benefits of Kirk.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

1 hr 20 min
Greetings one and all. We have a lovely little pod for you week that hits all the big topics: map projections, Milo protocols, democratic safeguards, and I guess comets?? Don't question it, just enjoy the ride. This episode's mistakes include:
Incorrectly guessing the ratio of USA population to Australian population as 16x larger, when it's 12x larger.
Forgot to compare Zohran Mamdani to Leslie Knope.
Referring to Shakespeare's Globe as Shakespeare's Bowl, twice.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

1 hr 14 min
G'day mates, and strewth, what a week! Nick got the old covidy-wovidy, so we used it as a launching pad to pick up an interesting Science News about the most dangerous species for spreading viruses. Otherwise, it's a bit of a good old-fashioned grab bag, with talk of beards, banks, and brain chips. Plus, lots of talk about films, including our mate Eddie's flick Iron Winter, which just debuted at MIFF. Grab a cocoa and get ready to go-goa. This episode's mistakes includes:
Post-viral voice timbre.
Erratic topic changes.
Another extended discussion of Friendship, but sorry not sorry.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

1 hr 13 min
Hi pals, how are you? We're broadly dealing with the aftermath this week, diving into the Mailbag to answer questions about AI music and our millennial-boomer property debate from last pod. Plus, an in-depth exploration of the state of American media and censorship off the back of the Colbert and South Park news. This episode's mistakes include:
Badmouthing our own clip content.
Deep diving into a foreign television landscape.
Abusing the sanctity of Michael's Miffed and completely forgetting the existence of That's A Spicy Meatball.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Jul 14, 2025
Jul 14, 2025
1 hr 13 min
Young and old alike, please join us for a spirited debate between two Millennials and a Boomer. Michael's real-life father, Peter, calls in to the pod for an amicable discussion about housing affordability, taxation, the economy, relative incomes, and politics, as well as how our generations do (or do not) differ. It's an in-depth and interesting chat that I think we all enjoyed. Plus, a plug for Michael's new music as Slow Mons debuting this Friday. This episode's mistakes include:
The occasional mathematical error.
Not having time to address every issue in equal depth.
Saving our hammiest content for last.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

1 hr 6 min
Hello! I'm sick so this part isn't going to be funny or interesting. We talk about AI a lot this week as Michael spirals from the realisation that the world is doomed. There's also chat about life as a Millennial, the tendency to like bad art, a hot take on the hero's journey, and toilet hunting. This episode's mistakes include:
Repeated sniffing from Michael that could be falsely blamed on Nick.
Mistakenly referring to gender dysphoria as body dysmorphia.
Bookending the show with sex jokes.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 256: Bad Grief
Jun 16, 2025
Jun 16, 2025
1 hr 15 min
A dramatic episode for you, dear listener, with some big real life stories, and then a fascinating Science News about medicating away grief. We also talk about homophobia, putting down dogs, and cancer, so, uh... enjoy? Despite all that it's actually a pretty light episode, and we do cap things off with some mandarin talk (?) and a Recommendation Engine. This episode's mistakes include:
Trauma dumping.
Frequent solicitation of audience contributions.
Flippant ADHD diagnosis.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 255: Quiz Night
Jun 2, 2025
Jun 2, 2025
1 hr 21 min
Grab yourself a pint and a parmy, because it's time for the first annual Deep Fought Quiz Night! We've got five rounds of trivia for you, and you can play along at home by filling in this Google Form as you go, and then submitting it at the end. We'll announce the results on our next pod, so drag your significant other along and make a night of it! (All the questions are broken up in podcast chapters for easy access, so you'd really benefit from listening with an actual podcast player this time, not Spotify.) Plus, we even find time to talk door knocks and dentistry at the top as well. This episode's mistakes include:
Overestimating the general enthusiasm for quizzes.
Misstating homo sapiens' age as ~100,000 years rather than ~300,000 years.
Relating anagrams in an audio medium.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hey pals! I'm writing this at the end of a long day so we're just gonna get it done. This pod has a lot of chat about warfare – first, the film, and later, the armed forces both locally and overseas. After that, there's some Science News about golf, the debut of a new seggie (and jingle) from Michael, and even a musical finale. This episode's mistakes include:
Flippancy towards military service.
Not having a segment name prepared in advance.
No laughter to fade out on.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Ding dong, ding dong! No, that's not the door, it's the peal of church bells announcing the arrival of a newly married Michael. We're freshly back from sunny Melbourne with tales of nuptials and romance. After that, it's a little bit of photography chat, a handful of miffs, and even some Rec Engine to cap us off. This episode's mistakes include:
Extended sincerity.
Unrelatable Oscar fantasies.
ANZAC cringe.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Squeamishness around natural bodily functions.
Aggressiveness around astrology.
Grumpiness around shirtlessness.

Hey pals, how's it shaking? We start this pod with a chat about Trump's tariffs and ensuing economic shockwave, which is all good fun, but from 27:30 onwards things take a bit of a darker turn into areas of AI and abuse. If that's not your vibe we totally get it, but there's a Science News about solving morning sickness and a silly Michael's Miffed at the end to hopefully lift the mood a little. But you do you, boo. This episode's mistakes include:
Absolute massacre of a Game of Thrones character's name.
Absolute massacre of a Brokers' song name.
Absolute slander of Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Kick off your heels, kick on your uggs, and settle in for a night on the couch as we take you behind the scenes of one of podcasting's most influential episodes. Our cameras were rolling for all the highs, the lows, and the laughs, and we've cracked open the archives to bring you never-before-seen material. Plus, brand new interviews with the men who made it happen, guaranteed to shake up everything you thought you knew. This episode's mistakes include:
Just an unfathomably difficult edit.
A persistent sense that there's something you can almost hear, but not quite.
Insufferable navel-gazing.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

1 hr 26 min
What's new with you? If it feels like we're all futilely trying to catch up to a rapidly accelerating news cycle, know that you're not alone. In this jumbo sized savoury morsel of a pod, we talk about the shattering of the U.S.–Ukraine relationship, and then take a detour into a discussion about a discussion about the challenges faced by young men today. But fear not, for we also have plenty of nonsense, including a brand new segment (and jingle) from Michael. This episode's mistakes include:
Some unnecessarily gross images.
Varying levels of compassion for deserving victims.
Poetry slam slam.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Grab a cold one, kick off your shoes, and settle in for an hour and change of refreshing poddy goodness. We're keeping things chill with an extended talk about refrigeration and the effect it had on food and agriculture, with a related discussion of ice cream and its cultural impact. Plus, plenty of other nonsense, including a crazy Nick story, a venomous Michael story, an aggressive email, and Will.i.am. This episode's mistakes include:
Foul language.
Delicious language.
Incorrectly corrected language.

Would AI be a better president than Donald Trump? That's one of many questions raised in this invigorating and topical episode of the podcast Deep Fought. It's actually more of a philosophical discussion than a political one, so sit back and enjoy a discussion of whether utilitarian ideals are appropriate for democratic administration. Plus, we're jingle heavy, with a Mailbag, Science News, Recommendation Engine, and Michael's debut of a brand new seggy. This episode's mistakes include:
Pitt pit slander.
Furthering the atheist agenda.
Misunderstanding an email.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.
