Deep Fought

Booyakasha, it's time to get real. Michael Zubreckyj presents: Deep Fought, and things are gonna be a bit different around these parts. We recorded this late and loose, so we're talking about art and intentionality, and why Jupiter is so important. This episode's mistakes include: Making Nick edit the podcast as per usual. Recording at 12:30am NZ time. Quality ending. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Gather round, friends, for we bring strange tidings. It's a science-y episode in which we deep dive into the CRISPR baby scandal, and discuss the genetic manipulation of embryos and the implications thereof. Plus, we've got a little bit of telepathy and ANIMA chat. This episode's mistakes include: Opening ourselves up to cyberattack by the Chinese government. Missed opportunity for bat repellent sponsorship. Should have plugged The Sinking City harder. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Did we really record this, or is it just machine learning mashing noises we previously made into brand new content? That's the question at hand this week, as we deep dive into deepfakes, and how they should be regulated on social media. There's plenty of interesting offshoots, so we hope you enjoy. This episode's mistakes include: A bit of lag on the Skype call this week, so forgive a bit of choppiness as we occasionally talk on top of each other. Probably too much bonus reading, including: Facebook deepfake problem  Uber's shaky business model Facebook's moderation team Australia's post-truth election scandal Fart fart fart fart. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Don't believe your eyes, then like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, rate us on iTunes, and send your questions to deepfought@gmail.com.

In an exciting turn of events, this week's episode is distinctly more authoritative thanks to both Michael and Nick now entering their thirties. In a less exciting turn of events, it's a bit of a pot pourri, as we recap how we celebrated our birthdays, and touch on a bunch of Hollywood topics including Keanu Reeves, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Liam Neeson, Seth Rogen, and Demetri Martin. This episode's mistakes include: Audio ghosts in first version uploaded - you may want to delete this episode and redownload to make sure you've got the fixed one. No clear theme but plenty of variety. Some negative energy directed at you, our beloved listeners. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Get your tickets, because it's semifinal time at the old playing field and we've got a corporate box from which to watch all the action. That's right, we're talking sport, and specifically the challenges facing the categorisation and inclusion of trans and intersex athletes. It's a pretty in-depth chat, so make sure you stock up on soggy hot chips at half time. This episode's mistakes include: No health and dietary warnings about chessboards. Started with a joke, ended with a joke, but in the middle... not so much. 1x1 actually equals 2. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

A nice and chunky chat today owing to some nice and chunky news, namely the redacted delivery of Mueller's report. We talk a bit about what that means for Trump, and then delve into Assange and the Wikileaks of it all. Plus, plenty of other bullshit including a very special guest. This episode's mistakes include: A brief hiccup where Michael's recording failed but was quickly noticed. A slightly indulgent length. No promo code for tour dates. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Thank you, devoted listeners, and welcome to our informal fifth anniversary. On today's show, we're delving into the mailbag to help out some of you with your (mostly bodily function-related) issues, but we've also got some good good space bants in there too for you highbrow types. This episode's mistakes include: Not enough poop talk. Only three audio jingles when there was space for more. The wingspan of a wandering albatross does NOT reach 12 metres. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Stare into the cavernous void of space, then like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, rate us on iTunes, and send your questions to deepfought@gmail.com.

Hello friends. It's been a wee while since we've last spoken, but there's been things happening. In this episode, Nick talks through his experience being in Christchurch during the terrorist attack, and Michael tries to guess how much Owen Wilson is worth. Something for everyone! This episode's mistakes include: A lot of single-sided storytelling Attempts to lighten difficult mood Poop talk Egregious factual inaccuracies Kia kaha.

Hello friends, we have some interesting talking for you in tonight's episode. We tackle George Pell, Michael Jackson, and R. Kelly, and the surrounding furore about their actions. Plus, we learn about racist AI, and then bro out a little at the end. It's a pretty good one and I think you'll like it. This episode's mistakes include: Perfect audio, leaving me nothing to complain about in these notes. No curry facts. An embarrassing mispronunciation of camaraderie. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Blessings be upon you, fine listener, for life is short and you, also, are short. On today's episode we're reflecting on our own mortality in the wake of a wake, and then cross over to the other side in a brand new segment. This episode's mistakes include: Variant audio quality again goddamn it. Unreasonable expectations of extra work in the edit suite. No answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

TGIF, am I right? And TGIDF, too, because we've got a brand new episode landing right in your feeds, right now. This is a bit of a catch-all episode, with some discussion of human unity, a double dose of Science News, and some wide-ranging chat about smoking, fast food, and the long-awaited kangaroo story. So sit back, order some takeaway, and kick the weekend off right. This episode's mistakes include: A luxuriously loose amble from topic to topic. A truly baffling mispronunciation toward the end. Attempting to induce the listeners to join a religion. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Sit back, relax, and pipe a bit of this hot audio sauce right down your ear tubes. We're back and better than ever, literally. Now that Michael has actually turned on his new microphone, this is officially the Best Sounding Episode Ever. And what a week to debut, with a bit more Louie follow-up and a discussion about the most dangerous companies in the world. This episode's mistakes include: Nothing. This is episode is perfect. It is impossible to describe Episode 108 as anything other than a masterclass in the audio medium, destined to be looked back on by future generations as a pinnacle of early 21st century culture. Okay, yes, Michael didn't know what thrush is. Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Happy new year, and what better place to start things off than with a discussion about Louis C.K.'s return to the spotlight and most recent controversial set. It's possibly the most focused we've ever been, which is kind of astonishing. Hope you're doing well too, by the way. This episode's mistakes include: Some fuzz on Michael's end due to new mic setup and a roaring laptop fan. Minimal seggies but huge cliffhanger. Two hours of fucking around on Australian internet to get this shit uploaded.
