Welcome to the next one hundred! We're back from our lunch break and will be working hard for the rest of the day, because we're talking about a recent study on employee loyalty – what earns trust, what is expected in the workplace, and where the road is headed. Plus, there's celebrity legal news, a mailbag, and a Rec Engine to cap things off. This episode's mistakes include: Whining about whining. Unnecessarily aggressive tone at points. Inappropriate food recommendations. Egregious factual ina...

Roll out the red carpet, gather the ticker tape, and call in a favour with the high school marching band, because today, baby, we're celebrating. Yes, somehow we're at 200 episodes, each of them perfect in their own special way. Thank you to everyone who has listened over the nine (!) years we've been doing this. The world, and our lives, have evolved significantly since we started, and we can't wait to see what's coming next. Like AI, the subject of our chat here. This episode's mistakes includ...

Good morning, class! Today we'll be using our red markers, because we have some corrections to make. That's right, we're discussing the editing of Roald Dahl, and how a changing society perceives media differently over time. Plus, we've got a Vet Dentist update, and some killer Recs to cap things off. Terrific. This episode's mistakes include: A bit of an audio whine in places. Again. Over-description of dental procedures. Briefly mistaking John Lennon for George Harrison. Egregious factual inac...

Good day, and good tidings to you. Thank you for using your precious data to download a new episode of our show. We can only hope it lives up to expectations. This week we're talking about performance in a couple of different ways: Michael went to see John Mulaney and the MSO, and we discuss music that might live on for another couple of hundred years. This episode's mistakes include: Some audio noise because of a party in Michael's street. George not showing up for work. I just realised we actu...

It's a bird, it's a plane— no, it's some sort of hideous combination of the two, a feathered metal monstrosity, screeching in agony as it cartwheels through the air above you. And by that I mean there's a new episode of the podcast ready for your enjoyment, tangentially related to planes at one point. We also spend a lot of time talking about movies and movie stars, as well as Jacinda's resignation, so you can't say we aren't thorough. This episode's mistakes include: Nick getting a migraine hal...

Happy New Year, and Happy New Pod! It's been a while, so we do a bit of catching up, and then dive into some interesting issues around brain maturation and the legal system. Plus there's some Rec Engine, and a brand new segment to close out the show, so all of you who made "listen to every episode of Deep Fought promptly" one of your resolutions in 2023 will definitely be rewarded. This episode's mistakes include: Over-investment of time and energy into the final segment. Some audio hum in a few...

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The tree's up, the star's a-twinkling, and the tinsel is making a mess all over the carpet. We're back for our fourth annual original-Christmas-song-a-palooza (OCSAP), and one of us really delivered! But that's not all – we talk about animal consciousness, Kanye "Ye" West, and explore the ads Facebook thinks we want to see. This episode's mistakes include: Nick did mess up in a particularly disappointing way, as you'll hear at the end. Sorry. Too much sp...

Nurse, get me 10 ccs of quality content, stat! We're back with another dose of pod, just like the doctor ordered. This is a grab bag episode, with some follow-up on last week's Twitter discussion, Trump's bid for the presidency, and a couple of health updates. But fear not – we also talk about rats! This episode's mistakes include: One host running on three hours of sleep. Graphic depictions of window violence. No video content. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Get a tetanus jab, then like us on ...

The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and by birds we mean Twitter users and by chirping we mean whinging. Hello friends, that's right – we're talking Elon Musk in general and also in specific reference to his recent social media takeover. But that's not all! We also discuss camping, sexual priorities, a spooky Seance News, and even get a lovely cameo from someone special. Let's get on with it. This episode's mistakes include: Alluding to, and then explicitly mentioning, what we deliberately c...

Hey bro, what's cracking? We're peeling the alfoil off a steaming home-baked pod for you, and it's been cooked to perfection. We delve into suit shopping, late night hosts, and the modern science of fatness, as well as follow-up on some of animal shit feedback we got in the break. This episode's mistakes include: Three week gap between episodes, sorry. No nipple pics in the podcast chapter titles. Irrelevant episode name. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Clean the vomit off your sweater, then lik...

Good day, kind podcastees. Thank you for joining us for this eclectic episode as we veer wildly from cartoons, to Bo Burnham, to Christmas, flat dynamics, food delivery, and phone call power moves. You'll learn a lot, though perhaps not about the topics we discuss and more about the people we are. This episode's mistakes include: Loose thematic cohesion. Graphic depictions of chicken murder. Huge entree, scanty main. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Order some replacement tacos, then like us on F...

The Queen is dead, long live the King! Yes, it's about time that two white guys had a chance to talk about the monarchy this week, so it's lucky we have a platform. There is also, oddly, quite a lot of chat about carrots, so don't worry if the royals are not your thing. This episode's mistakes include: A little bit of that bloody whine again. We're looking into it. Some mildly treasonous disrespect towards our head of state. Metaphorical cruelty to metaphorical horses. Egregious factual inaccura...

We're back, and better than ever, probably! It's been a while due to various life circumstances including a trip, a house move, and, honestly, a fairly gross eye thing. But that means we have heaps to catch up on, including all of the aforementioned topics, plus video games, sleepless nights, and a big recommendation engine in which we discuss the storytelling mechanics of a successful ending. This episode's mistakes include: Occasional whine on Michael's end, and not just out of his mouth. A co...
Sep 02, 2022•1 hr 29 min•Ep. 189
Ka-ching! That's the sound of another highly profitable podcast episode being released into the internet. We've got a bit of a grab bag for you that follows up on some prior discussions, including the covid lab leak theory, the Mona Lisa, smoking legislation, spreadsheeting, and more. You're gonna love it. This episode's mistakes include: Describing Michael's moustache as Waluigi-esque instead of Wario-esque. Spending too much time on a fun easter egg only a few viewers will spot. Monkey back gu...

Stop, look out! We're hurtling towards you like a runaway tram, and if you're not careful, you'll be hit by a philosophical conundrum and a healthy dose of existentialism. That's right, we're tackling the age old 'trolley problem' with a few new age twists. If you want to play along at home, click here . This episode's mistakes include: Slightly late episode because Nick caught the funky flu. Unwanted reminders of the importance of N95 usage. Undercutting a wondrous moment with a shameless plug....

Podcast listeners, unite! We have a fresh ep for your ear tubes, in which we take a look at the slow decline of America in the wake of the latest Supreme Court decisions around abortion and more. There's also lighter topics, like bird preferences, massage lengths, mailbags, and ghost stories, so fear not – your every desire will be sated! This episode's mistakes include: Two intense episode topics in a row. Even more egg talk on what has become the web's foremost egg podcast. Leaving in the bit ...

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Deep Fought. We've got a corker of an episode lined up for you today, as Michael's sister (a lawyer) joins us to talk through all the ways Michael is wrong – both in life generally, and in the specific case of Louis C.K. Then we expand our chat further to dive into the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case, and the legal intricacies thereof. Of course, we are talking a lot about sexual assault here, so please consider this your content warning if that's not what you ne...

Yo, bro, how's it hanging? That question is left dangling until the end of the pod, which first features discussions of moral philosophy, and the slippery slope of adopting a shitty persona as a joke. We also have a long Recommendation Engine™ segment because there's just so much good stuff out there at the moment. So let's just get on with it, eh? This episode's mistakes include: Not addressing the fact that Michael thinks mint and vanilla are weird ice cream flavours. Dearth of Fun Facts™. Ove...

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 ...

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 no...

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. Upgrade your webcam, then like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter and Instagram , find our tune...

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. Acquire a satellite dish, then like us on Fac...

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. Slava Ukraini, and like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter and Instagram , find our tunes on Spotify and Sound...

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. Lowball the insurer, then like us on Facebo...

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.

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. Place an order, then like us on Facebook , follo...

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...

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 ...

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. Take your shirt off, then like us on Facebook , follow us on Twit...

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 fi...
