My Capacity is Infinite

The Divorce Episode

OR: Have you checked the spark plugs? Josh just wants to note that he closed on a car 48 hours after this was recorded. SECRET SPECIAL GUEST CONTENT ENCLOSED. Mike pops a fourth-story pimple and is off Instagram (again). Most of this episode is attacking Josh's psyche--be gentle emailing feedback to DoNotSchedulePod@gmail.com. [DoNotSchedulePod@gmail.com.] Quarterly/annual theme talk is included, Josh is pursuing "Good Practice" as inspired by Craig Mod, and Mike is once again focused on "Less Trash."

My Capacity is Infinite

It's the end of 2025 (or writing this, April 2026 - we're catching up, I swear). Josh is suffering from his stress but is trying to turn things around. Mike has a beautiful interactive media experience (no, not the hospital thing this time) in NYC. Big Questions, Thick and Thin Desires, and Monks in the Casino await 2026.

Nine out of Ten

Description: We don't have a Patreon. Josh returns from a vacation to southern California and returns to work work work. Mike completes wedding season with minor misadventures, and survives an election. Musings on male loneliness, online friendships, and TTRPG corner. Josh knows his audio is garbled, apologizes, and strives to be better. (Recorded November 15, 2025) Editing by: Isaac (at) [thetitlegoeshere.com](https://thetitlegoeshere.com) Feedback?

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???
