This Is (Not) It Matt Wyatt
-
- Society & Culture
An exploration of the things that make us think, for an intense but finite period, "Yes. This. This is the thing for me, the thing I've been searching for. THIS IS IT.
Hobbies, career aspirations, relationships, workout plans, spiritual practices, diets, sexual pursuits, hairstyles, clothing. Whatever the thing, we are SURE it is it.
And then, time passes. Our interest fades, our passion subsides. Gradually, one way or another, we come to realize, it was not the thing at all. This was not it.
Each week, we talk with a new guest about a different thing that they were absolutely certain, at the time, was IT. @thisisnotitpod Hosted by Matt Wyatt @attentiondoozers

Ep 60: Rob Kerkovich
Actor + writer + feeler + thinker Rob Kerkovich talks about the Star Wars X-Wing miniatures fantasy game, living in New Orleans (and not Disneyland's New Orleans Square), CCH Pounder's Clocktower, the intersection of hardcore fishing aficionados and hardcore Star Wars collectors, collecting a game designed for social interaction only to avoid that social interaction, selling his Magic The Gathering cards so he can buy more Star Wars miniatures, his parents thinking he's famous to everyone, getting sucked back in by the 2nd edition, enrolling his four year old in his hobbies, the zen art of putting cards in sleeves, and throwing down for the 8-button joystick.
Watch Rob on NCIS New Orleans, and check out the episode he co-wrote, airing Tuesday October 9th. -
Ep 59: Molly Prather
Molly Prather talks about screenwriting and social work, volunteering as an advocate, applying to grad school, going to church in the late 80s, her superpower: emotional stonewalling, crawling around in yoga pants during college, moving to NY, hating inefficiency, the fantasy of a 7am statistics class, going through the journey to get the answer, her all-lady D&D group, being her dog's main source of everything, and five grand being a cheap lesson.

Ep 58: Below The Line (Will Carnahan & Jose Ibarra)
Two of the five original members of Below The Line (BTL), Will Carnahan and Jose Ibarra, talk about starting the podcast that was born out of an Amazon order and a 36 pack of PBR, being visual people trying to figure out audio, just wanting to hang out, get drunk and talk about movies, having strong Sam Rockwell affinity, being wild set boys holding onto the dream of Hollywood while hitting the wall of having to work, growing their own media empire, being too tired from making movies all day to talk about movies, birthing another podcast, being a professional lamp operator, the possibility of finding ghost episodes of BTL online, and fire-spinning.

Ep 57: Clint Gage
Clint Gage talks about growing a mustache, being a taurus and being on the cusp, taking the Baseball Hall of Fame family vacation, contemplating how a full sleeve tattoo would affect his other life choices, the dirty but approachable look, stress dreams, the secret 'stache menu at every restaurant, always being about to get back into things, and the hobbies waiting to be discovered out in the garage.
