Episode 224: Sex Sells

3/18/2024
Hello. Look, it's been a long day for both you and me, so let's get right to the point. It's a light episode, with a couple of death-defying tales, some animal stories, a discussion of ancient homosexuality, an interrogation, and our usual nonsense. It's fun, so stop reading and start breeding. (NOTE: Change this line before upload!!)

Episode 223: Your Attention Please

3/4/2024
Hello, hello, and welcome to a great one. That's not a joke. Michael has been on a bit of a personal journey, and we delve into the discoveries, diagnosis, and delights thereafter. Plus, if you're wondering what happened all our Meta accounts last week, we've got a story about that too. It's big, it's brash, and it's got balls – in that we literally discuss them in Science News.

Episode 222: Both Sides

2/18/2024
Hello again, and welcome back to this debate on the value of fact-based reporting in contrast to 'both sides' journalism. It's a great episode, though some listeners disagree, and we have no way of telling you who is right or wrong. Plus we hit on our usual nonsense – body hair, tarot cards, pigeon spies, and more.

Episode 220: Patently Absurd

1/22/2024
Listening to a podcast? What a great idea! But could you take that idea, patent it, and then charge others for the right to do the same? That's the question at the heart of today's discussion – patent law. It's more interesting than it sounds, maybe! Plus we've got mice, we've got birds, we've got pissing contests, and we've got a Recommendation Engine, so I will accept no complaints about content.

Episode 216: Pathogenesis

11/12/2023
Now, what seems to be the problem? The answer, it turns out, might well be hundreds of millions of years of viral and bacterial infections. This week we're talking about the history of mankind and civilisation through the lens of disease, which proves out to be more mind-blowing than you might expect. Plus, plenty of our normal nonsense (hats, soap, etc.) and a Recommendation Engine to wrap things up. Enjoy.

Episode 215: Too Good To Be True

10/30/2023
Boy, it sure is nice to see that lovely face of yours. Do you use a product, or is it just–– no, that's just natural?! Yeah, it looks great. Jealous. Hey, so this episode we're talking about Hasan Minhaj's slippery use of truth in his stand-up, and what the expectations are for a comedian and political commentator when it comes to accuracy versus laughs. We also tell you the order in which to eat your meals, rummage in the mailbag, and even find time for some miffs.

Episode 214: Him And Her

10/15/2023
Hey pals, this is a big one. Not to toot our own horns, but... yeah. Don't let it be the episode that slips down your feed. Nick went on a road trip, Michael has been scheming, and AI is evolving faster than ever. We talk about the Her-ification of ChatGPT, Meta's new celebrity chatbots, and Spotify's voice translation, all of which are equal parts impressive and icky. (But I'd bet it's not the part of this pod you'll remember.) This episode's mistakes include: Collect some ammo, then like us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram and Spotify, rate us on Apple Podcasts, and send your questions to deepfought@gmail.com.

10/1/2023
Good day, friends and fans. We're back with a grab bag episode, touching on things as important as the meaning and purpose of conceptual art (20 mins), and as unimportant as whether Michael's vindaloo was actually a vindaloo (10 mins).

9/18/2023
Look, you're a busy executive type trying to make a mark on the world, so you just want the headlines, no fluff – I get it. Michael's in Cambodia. Russell Brand allegedly did bad things. The Overton Window has shifted. mRNA vaccine techniques will soon be applied to other diseases. Some door knocks are inappropriate. And a new fun segment to end. Boom. Done. Now get back to that shareholder meeting.

Episode 210: Dead Reckoning

8/21/2023
The peal of the church bell rings out across the misty moor, hastening a flock of ravens from their perch in a wizened beech tree. You watch the pall-bearers carry their cargo towards the graveyard plot, and wonder, 'When did I first really internalise the concept of mortality?' Yes, we're talking about death this episode, and specifically discussing what age we were when we first realised what was coming. Heavy? Maybe, but fear not, for there is plenty of time spent on underarm grooming habits to balance things out.

Xin chào các bạn, and hello. Michael is still in Vietnam, so we talk through what's new before diving into the deep waters of AI via the paddling pool of the Hollywood strikes.

Hail fellow, well met. It's been a while, but that's because one of us is on the trip of a lifetime, so cut him some slack. We're back with the first glimpse into Michael's new life as a citizen of the world. We're talking through his travels, and how it's all feeling a couple of weeks in. Plus, we have a juicy Science News that is potentially not for the squeamish, so be warned.

5/29/2023
Stop – in the name of the law! In this seductive episode, we're discussing a report about attractiveness bias in the legal system. Yes, the hotter you are, the less time you do. Ain't that something? And if that is not to Your Honour's taste, well, we've got updates on Nick's phone theft, Michael's travels, and an explanation of the Scoville chilli pepper scale.
