#117 | Wrestling, Plans that Backfired
Hello and welcome to Constellation! Usually, Dagan is the one who writes these descriptions, but he forgot this week! So, you have me (Dustin), and I'm not even on this episode! He's been getting a bit cheeky with them recently, so it's probably best I'm here to clean things up anyway. For this episode, Matty wants to talk about wrestling, and Dagan asks about plans we've had that have backfired on us. You may be asking, where's the third topic? This episode ended up being quite a doozy just between those two topics, so the last topic needed to be cut due to timing. So, join Dagan, Colin, Matty, and Gene for another episode. And hey, Dagster, don't forget to write the description next week!Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:19:10 - Wrestling1:52:14 - Plans that Backfired Learn more about your ad choices.

#116 | Favorite LSM Moments, Being Remembered, What We'd Like to See Return
Does anybody even read these things? I feel like I could fill this space with complete gibberish and nobody would even notice. Rumpelstiltskin. See? You don't even know it says that! Anyway, Col, Cog, Lock and Dag convene this week to talk about stuff.

#115 | Toasters, The Things We're Surprised We Still Haven't Done, Puppets
Welcome back to another looooooong episode of Constellation! Delivering the goods like this week in and week out requires deep concentration and a sharp attention span. On this episode, Colin, Chris, Micah and Dagster talk for countless hours about a variety of fun and thoughtful topics. The only downside to this whole thing is that all our focus goes into the conversations. I'm lucky to have enough attention span left now to finish writing this video descripPlease keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:50:02 - Toasters1:49:12 - The Things We're Surprised We Still Haven't Done3:00:49 - Puppets Learn more about your ad choices.

#111 | Fragrances, Phone Calls, World Records
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson stopped me on the street once. You can tell he was a little nervous at first, but he finally managed to pull himself together, exclaiming that he was Constellation's biggest fan. I acted surprised and we exchanged pleasantries. It quickly became awkward though, so I thanked him and glanced at my watch with feigned concern before dismissing him with a tussle of his hair. He's a good kid, and so are you. Dwayne (we're on a first name basis now) would definitely love this episode. This week, Brad inquires about our preferences for cologne and other toiletries. From soap and shampoo to deodorant and even candles, which products and fragrances best meet our personal criteria? Next, Chris and the gang commiserate about phone calls. As old-fashioned telephone conversations continue to go the way of the dodo, how do we prefer to communicate in ways that don't involve gabbin' like a couple of elderly ladies? Last, The Dagster leads a discussion about world records. If we could hold the global title for something, which something would we choose? This one's for you 'The Rock.' Enjoy! Oh whatever, in my dream he had hair.Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:23:54 - Fragrances1:06:39 - Phone Calls1:51:29 - World Records Learn more about your ad choices.

#109 | Lyrics That Define Us, Underwhelming Experiences, Calling Someone Out
Welcome back to Constellation! Would you kindly feast your optic orbs on this group of podcasting superstars? And of course, Dagan. Kicking off Side A, Jaffe punches the boys right in the feels with his topic about song lyrics. The gang waxes poetic as they break down the words in the tracks that speak to them most. Next, Chris wants to commiserate about underwhelming experiences. After all the lofty expectations, which places, people and events just didn't live up to the hype? Finally, Dagan tries to entice his pals to talk some shit. Axes will be grinded, but will the dudes actually name names? As always, Colin just freeloads on everybody else's topic, because "he's the boss." Total bullshit.Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:51:21 - Lyrics that Define Us2:10:39 - Underwhelming Experiences3:10:07 - Calling Someone Out Learn more about your ad choices.

#108 | The Flow State, Dream Vacations, Ninjas
They're the world's most fearsome podcast team! Welcome back to Constellation! If you like those weapon-slingin' teenaged reptiles then you'll LOVE this episode's lineup! The first to wield his topic this week, Matty would like to converse with his bros about that elusive frame of mind known as 'the flow state'. What are the activities and specific talents that allow us to slip into a state of total focus, concentration and contentment. Next, driven by a cold Philadelphia winter, Dagan would like to lead his pals in a daydreaming session about fantasy vacations. In our respective opinions, what is the ideal getaway and which destinations do we feel most compelled to cross off our bucket lists. Lord Cognito strikes last, emerging from the shadows with a discussion about ninjas. These mysterious black-clad warriors became a pop culture phenomenon decades ago through TV, video games and comics, so why are we still so fascinated with everything about them? Thanks so much for tuning in!
