Deep Fought

Episode 183: Doing Time

How you doin'? I can't actually hear your response so please turn to the nearest person or animal and tell them. Ideally this will feel cathartic or stimulating. After you're done, feel free to hit play on this episode and enjoy a discussion about the passage of time (like usual). There's also bin ladies, tactical retreats, and dick swinging (literally and figuratively). So let's get on with it. This episode's mistakes include:
Insincere mothers shout out.
Not enough acknowledgement of how much effort last week's edit was.
Rookie mistake in mentioning monkeys while trying to explain something to Michael.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 182: Guinness Book Of World Records

G'day mates. Did I use that last time? I can't be bothered checking. Nick's been travelling Australia and made time to catch up with his little old pal Mikey. We're in the same room, we've skipped lunch, and we're having beers. We're also talking into the same mic, so... oof. This episode's mistakes include:
Low quality audio on Michael's end because he did not sit close enough to the mic.
Honestly, editing this episode sucked because I had to raise the volume every fucking time he spoke.
I'm not bitter I'm just speaking facts.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 181: Daylight Robbery

G'day mate, and welcome to Australia. There was a wee delay on this edit because Nick was journeying to Adelaide for a holiday, but podcasts must persevere, so here we are. Let's get on with it. This episode's mistakes include:
Discussing The Slap far too late for anyone's interest.
A few pops and crackles, but just for fun.
Misusing Pokémon for disgusting analogies.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 180: This Is The End

To be clear, this is not the podcast ending. It's just relevant to the discussion at hand: is this the end of the world, and why are we so fascinated with the idea? We've now wasted a good title when Deep Fought eventually ends, though, so that's annoying. This episode's mistakes include:
Abstract discussion topics.
Dismissing nan abbreviation when actually it's very cool.
Sudden unprompted digression into body horror.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 179: Above The Line

Strange times, are they not? We're back with another fresh ep discussing the sudden arrival of another horseman of the apocalypse. Plus, there's talk of fairy tales, Warney, attention spans, conscription, Batmen, and front line bossa nova – a real mixed bag. This episode's mistakes include:
Too many jingles.
No fun fact about James Bond.
Still no Dave.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 178: Con Voyage

Hey, I remember you! You – yeah – you used to listen to the podcast, didn't you? Well, great news, we have another episode today, covering everything from the Good Grief season 2 shoot, to the freedom convoys, Ukraine, Jackass, and stepsisters. Something for anyone, albeit not everyone. This episode's mistakes include:
An inexplicably hostile vibe.
Some particularly intense breathing on Michael's end.
Noticeable editing.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 177: Blowhard

It's been one of those weeks. We join our heroes in the midst of some bad news, but things gradually improve. Hope you're taking care of yourselves out there – you never know when the metaphorical van might be right around the corner. This episode's mistakes include:
Morose mood.
Average audio.
Groanworthy gags.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 176: Tanks For Your Patient

Good evening, compatriots, and pleasant tidings. We return as predicted for another recorded audio discussion, encompassing volcanoes, tidal waves, car accidents, smoking, underwear and more. Let's just get on with it, eh? This episode's mistakes include:
Michael's audio randomly jumping louder at points for some reason?
No sexy underwear shots.
Took ages to edit and cut out 18 minutes but you probably won't notice.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 175: Smoke ’Em If You Got ’Em

Happy New Year! I've had a peek at what's coming up and can confidently declare that 2022 will be the best year ever, and you can take that to the bank. Hope you and yours had a lovely holiday season and are enjoying a bit of downtime in this crazy era. This week we're talking about Christmas goodies, banning cigarettes, and bring you some fresh recco's for your break. This episode's mistakes include:
Forgot to rec a good rec.
Deleting all the controversial segments.
Too many acronyms. Spell out the words, cowards.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 174: Liberal Snowflakes

Ho ho ho! It's that time of year when the sun is hot and the vibe is chill. We're back for our annual Christacular, with some retrospection on the year that was 2021, what we expected, and what we got. Plus, as has become tradition, we cap off the pod by giving each other the present of an original Christmas tune. And if I do say so myself, I think we've outdone ourselves. Hope you and yours get some time to relax and celebrate in the coming weeks, and we'll see you in 2022, when the world will be fixed. This episode's mistakes include:
Michael's end stopped recording right at the finale, so Skype recorder steps up as a lower quality fallback.
Heavy spoonfuls of sentimentality.
Not hyping up the celebrity cameo.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 173: The Ethiopian Shirt Conundrum

Alert! Alert! Hot content coming through! This week's pod is a spicy blend of social dilemmas, tissue flashbacks, the whole omicron thing, and spermatozoa. A fairly typical week, then, by our standards. This episode's mistakes include:
Ongoing minor Michael audio panning issues. Don't know why, don't know how, but it happens.
Inaccurate depictions of legal procedure.
Cutting out a lot of penis talk.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 172: Pick Your Brain

Friends, I'm gonna be honest, I've had a couple of drinks. It's late, I'm a bit buggered and we're a litre of hazy IPA deep. But I feel like people don't necessarily read this anyway so I'm just gonna see how it goes. Also I haven't finished even editing yet so I don't super remember what we talked about but it was definitely AI related. Computers and algorithms and government and we also talked about thermoelectric materials. And MIFFS. This episode was pretty fun I think but again I haven't finished listening back yet. Anyway I hope you're doing well. This episode's mistakes include:
Hmm.
There definitely were some.
Look, again, I don't really want to do this right now there is an eclipse on.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 171: Sudden Death

Good morning, wherever you are, even if it's evening. We're back with a toasty weekend wonder for you in the form of sonic podness goodness. We're on a bit of a ramble this week, talking death, Meta, saxophones, midnight hauntings, and Timothée Chalamet. Something for everyone, or hopefully at least someone. This episode's mistakes include:
Some weird Michael audio glitches. We're investigating, sorry.
0 for 0 should have been 0 for 2. Or 1-1. So he was doubly wrong.
Dancing around a thing.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 170: Psyched Up

Hey! Well done on taking some you time, popping on a fresh dose of pod, and letting the mind wander. Life can be so busy these days. We got together to chitchat about dead flies, the mind's eye, and psychology, so that's the big three right there. This episode's mistakes include:
No jingles even when arguably there could have been one.
Heady talk.
Accidentally opened portal to a hell dimension.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 169: I Will Survive

Stop reading this and DUCK! That's a bit of foreshadowing because we talk about ducks in this episode and it seemed like a bit of a light-hearted way to kick off this introduction. In this sassy new ep, we dive into lots of animal news, mortal peril, and some Michael miffs. Something for everyone! This episode's mistakes include:
Mars has an atmosphere, it's just not that showy about it.
Inappropriate mini-miff to mega-miff ratio.
Overly niche Royal Adelaide Show references. 
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 168: March Madness

There's a storm comin', and there ain't nothing you can do to stop it. It's called Bitlyball, and it's sweeping the nation. We're also talking through Melbourne's rough week, from the construction worker protests, to the swarms of police, to the earthquake. And somehow, we make room for a dissection of Joe Rogan AND an exploration of centrism. It's a chock-full episode, so let's dawdle no longer. This episode's mistakes include:
Unresolved Charizard cliffhanger.
One instance of a misused 'sanctimonious'.
Editing out the frantic minute spent mopping up a spilled beer.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 167: The New World Order

Jiminy jillickers, what's that in your ears? It's a new episode of audio podcast, that's what. This week we're going deep on the approach to COVID-19 vaccination rollouts through the lens of a potential unified world government. Plus, Michael has started doping (on multivitamins), Nick's show got picked up, and Charizard is coming for us all. This episode's mistakes include:
A lot of fun and games (in the sense of marbles and tiddlywinks).
No tasty spoilers.
Cliffhanger ending.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 166: Good Things Come To Those That Egg

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.

Episode 165: Redemption Arc

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.

Episode 164: Grief Counsellor

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.
