Josh and Mike talk about stuff

    A Flavor of Burnout

    Josh is overwhelmed. Is that new? It might not be new. Mike is halfway through wedding season, with three more to go. Both of the guys are into football (is that better than AI talk? Probably not.). TTRPG corner is back, with Josh struggling what to do with the aftermath of his Pinkerton Elton John. Note: We're looking for listener comments and questions ahead of our New Year's recording. Send them all to Mike's home address. If you don't have that, I guess use DoNotSchedulePod@gmail.com.

    Wood and Lies

    Mike is recording from his parents' house (with a special guest!) as wedding season looms ahead. He shares some of the shared history between him and Josh, and the internet community that first brought them (and listener Phil) together. At poetry night, Mike has a cathartic, emotional experience. Josh is drowning in copies of The Economist and dreams of an easier life schedule which has yet to come. He also attends a local charity event and has a chance encounter with a local celebrity of the legacy news media. Also, Infrastructure Week Part???

    Two Dudes That Don't Really Know What They're Talking About

    Description: Season 3 is here - strap in for meta podcast talk and Mike and Josh arguing about AI (they're both wrong and we're banning the topic in future episodes, I swear). We've embedded chapter markers so you can skip through (I think, I don't actually know how that works). Mike is juggling projects and has musings on productivity culture. Josh is building community through Drop-In D&D and DMing for the first time.  (Recorded August 16, 2025) Editing by: Isaac (at) [thetitlegoeshere.com](https://thetitlegoeshere.com/) Feedback?

    Careers Are a Jungle Gym

    The Season 2 finale of your favorite not a show is here! Just a heads up on this one - spoilers for The Rehearsal Season 2 are ahead. It's not all work talk! It's mostly work talk. Mike moves to a four-story walkup with 30,000 residents. Josh is wrapped up in his own personal public works department and is preparing to travel 2000 miles in less than two days. Congratulations to Listener Kevin on getting Mike's resin printer and Wyrmwood gaming table. Also Mike, you still owe me $5 for my winning the Field Notes bet. It's August 2025. I'm going to start charging interest soon. (Recorded June 19, 2025) Editing by: Isaac (at) [thetitlegoeshere.com](https://thetitlegoeshere.com/) Feedback?

    It's Called Gaslamping

    Description: Unscripted. Delayed. Riddled with errors. Do Not Schedule: The 13th biggest podcast in personal journals. Yes, we know it's Yemeni, not Yemenese. Josh has been crowned champion of arbitrary trivia night, despite almost failing his college philosophy course. Mike is focused on his impending move and is distracting himself by questioning Josh's very acceptable productivity systems. There's a customary amount of work and AI talk.

    A Basket of Trade-Offs

    Description: Mike contemplates chain smoking his way to the end of the world. Josh discovers OK Go and continues his magazine adventure. Oh, and there's a lot of AI talk in this one - like a lot - along with the usual questioning of various communication media. The guys read some listener emails and may or may not doxx non-listener X.

    I'm Talent

    Mike wants his not a podcast to have more general appeal; unfortunately, that may push the limits of his professional recording skills. Josh returns from speaking in Philadelphia and, gets promoted, and promptly loses his (current) job. Mike recaps his poetry festival experience and the community he's found. Other topics include Craig Mod's talk with Tim Ferriss, Mike's One-Year Anniversary with [GIRL] and family gatherings, Potato Pancake Day, and Mike's dead typewriter.

    At Least Then It's Content

    (Recorded March 27, 2025) Mike and Josh do life updates, talk about what they've been reading lately, interdependent zoning laws, Josh's new mortal enemy, Mike's Interactive Media Experience, Mike moving into the Big City. I don't know maybe there was some other stuff. But if I tell you everything the guys talked about why would you listen? You know all those beautiful show notes that normally go here. Yeah Josh typically does that. But he decided he wanted to be in charge of email now so now you've got me here and I don't feel like going out and finding links to all the stuff we talked about. If you want that feel free to email donotschedulepod gmail com and I'm sure Josh will triage that appropriately.   Thanks for your understanding, Management (Mike)
