Deep Fought

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. Thi...

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...

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. Unwa...

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...

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 l...

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 t...

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. T...

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. Honestl...

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...

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 digres...

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...

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...

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. Breathe in, breathe out, then like us on Facebook , fo...

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 pro...

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 incl...

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 s...

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 tal...

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 a...

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, s...

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. Eg...

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. Inappropr...

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....

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...

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...

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 i...
