Constellation: Last Stand Media's Conversational Podcast

It's time, yet again, for another brand-new episode of Constellation, Last Stand's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Punching Up co-hosts Gene Park and Micah Watson. Gene wants to discuss his trials and tribulations pertaining to the modern dating scene, one either facilitated by or injured by the internet, depending on your outlook. Micah's topic this week is a simple one: What's your favorite smell? And why are smells so deeply tied to memory, anyway? Dagan wants to know all about the things we hate doing. Chores, small talk, dishwashing. You name it. What fills us with maximum consternation? Finally, Colin presents another quiz to the team, this one with 10 basic American history questions that he contends every adult in the US should be able to answer. The results are quite interesting.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Welcome back to Constellation! This time around, the Brothers Moriarty welcome executive producer Dustin Furman and Punching Up co-host Gene Park. Gene waxes poetic about his concert-going experiences, and inquires about which live acts are best (and worst). Dustin keeps the music theme going with a deep-dive into our listening habits over the years, with a particular eye paid to the format we were using, whether tape, CD, MP3, or something else entirely. Dagan wants to know where our heads are at with advertising. Do we ever fall prey? What's some of our favorite advertising ever? Is the old-school era of advertising truly over? Finally, Colin gets into dream jobs, the employment we'd seek if we had complete control over our lives in every facet. Sure, our gigs now are awesome, but they can be even better...

Greetings! Welcome, once more, to Constellation, Last Stand's conversational podcast! This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Defining Duke co-host Lord Cognito. Today, Cog wants to discuss phobias, the things that truly, really, and actually frighten and disturb us to the core. Chris is curious about which comedians and comedy stylings over time have resonated with us most. Dagan wonders what about ourselves we don't like and would want to change, physically and otherwise. And finally, Colin delves into the possibility of a third party presidential candidacy in 2024, and how such a missile to the system may be the only thing that saves us.

It's time -- once again! -- for a brand-new episode of Constellation, our off-topic conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's associate producer Ben Smith and coordinator Micah Watson. Ben gets into the deep mystery surrounding dreams, and prods us about what goes on behind our eyelids when we sleep. Micah laments celebrity deaths, wonders if they're worth getting upset about at all, and inquires about which prominent passings-away affected us most. Is karma a real thing? Dagan thinks it is, and challenges us to conceive of a world where what goes around actually does come around. And finally, Colin touches base with everyone concerning Amazon, the megacorporation that's slowly-but-surely taking over America. Question is: Should we be grateful or scared?Thanks for our sponsors!This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Welcome one and all to another episode of Constellation. The Brothers Moriarty are joined this week by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and LSM Executive Producer Dustin Furman. Chris gets into the nitty-gritty of his experience at Creator Clash 2, fielding questions from the boys about his boxing experience, and if he'll ever do something like that again. Dustin ponders the early days of the Internet, and wonders what we'd consider our formative experiences online, particularly in those nascent dial-up days. Dagan wants to know if we're beefing with anyone, and how we've historically dealt with grudges. And finally, Colin presents the squad with a visual quiz: Can they identify any of these 16 professional sports logos from the NHL, NBA, and NFL?

A common request has been bubbling within the audience in recent weeks, and we're glad to deliver: On today's all-new episode of Constellation, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by storied game dev David Jaffe and Washington Post reporter Gene Park. Jaffe delves head-first into the scourge of so-called fake news, how it's negatively affected his outlook on the future, and wonders whether capitalism itself is to blame for our seeming self-destruction. Gene regales us with more amazing stories, this time regarding adult birthdays, the sometimes-insane celebrations that grown people partake in. Dagan wants to know -- as he approaches his 50th birthday -- if he should finally buckle under the pressure and get a tattoo. And Colin wonders if corporate subscription services are forever morphing our taste for content and our appreciation for art. Is there such a thing as unlimited value, or are we being shaken-down in ways we never thought possible?Thanks for our sponsors!This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

It's another week, which means it's time for another all-new episode of Constellation. For today's recording, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's Coordinator Micah Watson and Executive Producer Dustin Furman. Micah turns 30 later this year, and wants to know our experiences with so-called milestone birthdays, the specific occasions you really want to mark. Dustin officially has the collecting bug, specifically when it comes to physical games. He's curious about which collections we've endeavored to undertake in the past, and which ones stick with us in the present. Dagan wants to chat about gambling, the ever-present accompaniment to sports, the allure of Vegas, and the reason millions of people play fantasy everything. What makes us want to put money on the line with no guarantee of victory? Finally, Colin wants to talk about conspiracy theories, but with the following presentation: Each person must put forth a trio of theories, one they're annoyed by, one they want to believe in but don't, and one they've bought into hook-line-and-sinker.

Friends, it's good to be back for another episode of Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty welcome Defining Duke co-host MrMattyPlays and LSM Executive Producer Dustin Furman to the roster, and as usual, the conversations are wide-ranging. Matty is on the verge of buying his first house, and asks what our respective experiences were purchasing our own homes. What key pieces of wisdom and advice can we bestow upon him? Since the four of us are all ardent YouTube fans, Dustin thought a topic all about the vaunted YouTube rabbit hole was appropriate. What weird, wild, and wacky stuff do we lose hours to on Google's famous video platform? Dagan's mind is on something a little more morose this week, but humorously so. What items, if any, do we have on our bucket list? What do we hope to accomplish before we pass away? Finally, Colin brings up a broad topic -- Dogs -- but narrows it down significantly with the following question: What role do dogs play in your current daily life?Thanks to our sponsor!Get 20% and free shipping with code CON at https://www.manscaped.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome one-and-all to another episode of Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's shopkeeper and coordinator Micah Watson and associate producer Ben Smith. Spring has sprung, and that means Easter draws near. Micah's curious how everyone feels about the holiday: The food, the Easter Bunny, and those peculiar eggs, too. Ben's topic is sleep, and whether it's something we actually enjoy or not. Sleep is necessary, sure, but is it a gigantic waste of time, too? Dagan delves into his greatest fears, and we all follow suit. From claustrophobia and being buried alive to destitution and sports mascots, it may not surprise you that our fears are wide-ranging. Finally, Colin brings a kindergarten-style question to the fore: Favorite season. It's that simple. You've got to choose. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Let's get wild: Please welcome legendary game director and designer David Jaffe to Constellation. As you might expect, Jaffe comes packing an interesting topic: What happens when we die? Specifically, what do we make of scientific and anecdotal evidence alike suggesting that dying may not be as straight-forward as we think? Lightening things up is Dustin, who wants to get into the nitty-gritty of movie theater etiquette, which naturally spirals-off into a conversation all about societal etiquette generally. Dagan prods the roundtable about a problem that's currently cropping up, mainly that his son is dealing with a bully. What gives?! Were we bullied (or bullies?) as children? And finally, Colin wraps things up with a Colin-like topic, indeed: The ways anxiety affects our lives in ways big and small on a day-to-day basis, and how we all deal with whatever ails us.
