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)

Isaac, Cut That Out

A bit of a meta-sode here. Josh is hit by daylight savings time and feeling torn between two places in his professional role; Mike is struggling with his current development project and is using AI tools to program. Time is spent analyzing and debating the show/not-a-show dynamic, which inevitably shifts to touch on current productivity and content consumption topics. Also, Mike finally checks the DNS Gmail.

Mike, Barb, and the Dalai Lama

Mike and Josh both have quiet-ish birthdays. Mike talks travel to Costa Rica; Josh has takes on his time in Italy and Spain. Reflections are shared on their cultural experiences, the impacts of travel on romantic relationships, and (of course, sorry Phil) changes in productivity systems and information consumption.

Ten Happy for Five Time

2.1 Ten Happy for Five Time Mike and Josh are still recording their semi-regular phone calls and have arbitrarily decided that this is the kick-off to their second season of the "not a show." Topics include spending time doing things in-person (TTRPG nights), divesting from social media (sorry, Phil), reflections on current events, and concepts on themes for Q1 2025. Also, Mike's mom is worried about him. (Recorded January 27, 2025) Editing by: Isaac (at) thetitlegoeshere.com Feedback?
