Where should you turn when faced with a big, philosophical question? The internet, of course. Half philosophy, one third ”jokes”, one twelfth science, one twelfth politics, and 100% carefully calculated fractions. That’s the Deep Fought Promise!

Episode 251: Tough Hang
4/7/2025
Hey pals, how's it shaking? We start this pod with a chat about Trump's tariffs and ensuing economic shockwave, which is all good fun, but from 27:30 onwards things take a bit of a darker turn into areas of AI and abuse. If that's not your vibe we totally get it, but there's a Science News about solving morning sickness and a silly Michael's Miffed at the end to hopefully lift the mood a little. But you do you, boo.

3/24/2025
Kick off your heels, kick on your uggs, and settle in for a night on the couch as we take you behind the scenes of one of podcasting's most influential episodes. Our cameras were rolling for all the highs, the lows, and the laughs, and we've cracked open the archives to bring you never-before-seen material. Plus, brand new interviews with the men who made it happen, guaranteed to shake up everything you thought you knew. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 249: Selective Empathy
3/9/2025
What's new with you? If it feels like we're all futilely trying to catch up to a rapidly accelerating news cycle, know that you're not alone. In this jumbo sized savoury morsel of a pod, we talk about the shattering of the U.S.–Ukraine relationship, and then take a detour into a discussion about a discussion about the challenges faced by young men today. But fear not, for we also have plenty of nonsense, including a brand new segment (and jingle) from Michael. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 248: Is Your Refrigerator Running?
2/24/2025
Grab a cold one, kick off your shoes, and settle in for an hour and change of refreshing poddy goodness. We're keeping things chill with an extended talk about refrigeration and the effect it had on food and agriculture, with a related discussion of ice cream and its cultural impact. Plus, plenty of other nonsense, including a crazy Nick story, a venomous Michael story, an aggressive email, and Will.i.am. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 247: Government Drones
2/10/2025
Would AI be a better president than Donald Trump? That's one of many questions raised in this invigorating and topical episode of the podcast Deep Fought. It's actually more of a philosophical discussion than a political one, so sit back and enjoy a discussion of whether utilitarian ideals are appropriate for democratic administration. Plus, we're jingle heavy, with a Mailbag, Science News, Recommendation Engine, and Michael's debut of a brand new seggy. This episode's mistakes include:

1/26/2025
Hey fam, hope you're all doing good and doing well. We're back to talk about this crazy little thing called America and the start of a new and horrifying political era. Plus we go into the nitty gritty of the TikTok ban, why people tend to mispronounce loanwords, and Michael gets some miffs off his chest. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 245: Putting Out Fires
1/13/2025
Welcome to our first pod of 2025! Nick raced home from a road trip to make this pod, so we just chew the fat for a bit, dive into our recently personal heroics (firefighting, cabinetry), and ultimately peruse a list of interesting scientific trivia. Hot stuff. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 244: Bad Taste
12/29/2024
So that was 2024. Hmm. Weird one. Good news is, we've got a fresh pod to cap off the year, recorded live in person in Nick's parents' backyard. We're talking through our travels and Christmas vibes and family conspiracies, and we play a visual sketching game that works just as well in an audio podcast as you'd expect. But hey, it's the holidays. This episode's mistakes include:

12/19/2024
If you're catching whiffs of venison and pine, fear not, for it's merely our 6th Annual Christmas Song Spectacular! We're back with the biggest episode of the year as we debut our original seasonal compositions for each other. We hope you like them as much as we do. But that's not all – there's unboxing of gifts, a cactus update, and chat about our societal fascination with hot murderers. This episode's mistakes include:

Episode 242: Smells Like Teen Spite
12/2/2024
Phew, we made it! This week's pod was an experiment in a new recording setup, and it did not quite go to plan. But fear not, as we have Frankensteined together all the disparate parts into a seamless whole so you can just focus on the good stuff: discussions of the Australian social media ban for people under 16, dramatic readings of Messenger chats, and another listener voicemail. Honestly, it's all good stuff. This episode's mistakes include:

So we're back on the American politics bandwagon to discuss the attempted Trump assassination.
