Deep Fought

Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Melbourne and Christchurch, please welcome to the stage a brand new pod! In this supersized episode, we go deep in the reeds of Thom Yorke's Everything tour, which we were both lucky enough to recently attend. But if Radiohead is not your thing, fear not, for we also touch on why ghosts wear sheets, solar panel politeness, Pokémon cards, sleep yelps, and in a very special Deep Fought After Dark™, we place our bets on the outcome of the American election. This episode's mistakes include:

• Indulgent length.

Good evening, and welcome to another distinguished meeting of the Deeply Fought Discussion Society. This week, Prof. Zubreckyj has brought a tantalising titbit for one's contemplation: just what, precisely, makes something pretentious? Our respectful tête-à-tête leads to unexpected destinations; our travel companion, sparkling repartee. This episode's mistakes include:

• The video call shitting the bed and requiring 30 minutes of tech diagnostics mid-pod.

Look what we have here – a brand new pod, full of puppies and placebos! Yes, we talk about being Dog Daddies™, and then move on to some interesting Science News about the placebo effect and its evil opposite, the nocebo. Do you worry that doesn't sound like your thing? That's probably just the nocebo effect in action, so you should listen anyway. This episode's mistakes include:

• Petty competitiveness about dog superiority.

Uh-oh. If I'm interpreting that episode title right, this sounds like another one of those classic episodes where Nick baits Michael into humiliating himself live on pod. Well, I certainly hope it's not as bad as we expect!! This episode's mistakes include:

• Forgot it was Gap that botched their logo redesign.

Greeting, and welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming. Yes, we're releasing on time, we're talking AI romance, and we're talking dolphins. Boom – add another classic pod to the list. This episode's mistakes include:

• A period in the middle where Michael's audio stopped recording so we defaulted to the Skype backup sorry.

Hello hello, and apologies for the delay. It was a bit of a hectic weekend for both of us, so this pod is about the latest developments in our slow amble towards Grown-Up status. I won't dawdle with any more blurb since we're already behind time. This episode's mistakes include:

• Delayed release.

Lace your trainers, do some dynamic stretching, and head for the starting line, because this week we're talking about the Olympics – what we think of it, ways to improve it, and what went viral at Paris 2024. Plus, we talk beta males, alarm bells, and couscous, so we've still got you covered if sports aren't your thing. This episode's mistakes include:

• Aggressive tone at the start.

The news keeps cycling, and we've strapped on our helmets and clicked in our special shoes so that we can stay pedalling in the slipstream. We're talking Biden, we're talking Kamala, we're talking apricot chicken, we're talking dental appliances. Plus, a fun surprise guest on the pod this week! Let's get to it.

• Brunch slander.

Well, damn. We're living in eventful times, and we just happened to be recording on the day when it all went down. So we're back on the American politics bandwagon to discuss the attempted Trump assassination. The good news is, we already had a full agenda, so we're also bringing some George Clooney News, complaining about Uber, and miffing again. This episode's mistakes include:

• Inversion of host/sidekick roles.

Papers, please. Yes, we're broadly tackling the topic of national security this week, from two directions. First, we touch on the Biden vs Trump debate and what the best path forward might be based on the data. And second, we discuss Julian Assange's release and the necessity of state secrets. If that sounds a bit full on, don't worry, because this one is actually Rather Silly™, and includes plenty of miffs, popes, and dick jokes. This episode's mistakes include:

• Some audio echoes due to leaky headphones, sorry.
