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.

It's time to introduce you to The Old Heads Council, as the Brothers Moriarty are joined on this episode by Defining Duke's co-host Lord Cognito and Washington Post games reporter Gene Park. Gene kicks things off with a comprehensive conversation about marijuana: Our past and present with it, our thoughts on its efficacy, and on how (or even if) we've avoided becoming burnouts. Cog laments being the middleman -- wedged between two friends, relatives, or competing ideas -- and wonders whether we've embraced or managed to avoid such a role in our own lives. Dagan's many experiences with neighbors compelled him to make that his topic this week, with an eye towards whether we owe anything to those that live around us, and if we seek or avoid local friendships and camaraderie. Finally, Colin brings gatekeeping to the table, the notion of erecting a barrier-of-sorts around something you love or appreciate in order to keep others out. Are we gatekeepers? Have we been victimized by them? Turns out we've much to say on the matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week's all-new episode of Constellation, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson and executive producer Ben Smith. Micah comes to the mic eager to talk about breakfast: Eggs, bacon, potatoes, French toast, waffles, pancakes, cereal. The whole shebang. Dagan prods each of us to share a truly embarrassing story from our past, ones we've never discussed before in any setting. Ben waxes about the power of documentaries, their endless draw, and how they seem to make even the most mundane topics thoroughly interesting. Finally, Colin breaks down how he feels technology is making his life worse, and how to escape all of modernity's many bells and whistles. Can we undo progress and recapture a simpler time?

It's time yet again for another episode of Constellation, and this week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Defining Duke co-host MrMattyPlays. Chris discusses his ADHD diagnosis, the bombardment of stimuli we're all subjected to on a daily basis, and how we retain focus in such a busy world. Matty dives into his trading card obsession, specifically with Pokémon cards, which he loves to collect and grade. What are our respective histories with card-collecting? Dagan's eager to get superstitious, exploring the various ways we try to appease an unknown set of rules while navigating our lives, rules that make little sense and bare virtually no consistency. And finally, Colin comes to the staunch defense of ketchup, which he thinks should be included in your meals as much as possible. Ketchup forever! Learn more about your ad choices.

We (the Brothers Moriarty) are pleased to welcome LSM Executive Producer Dustin Furman and LSM Coordinator Micah Watson to the show, and this week, we're focusing our topics on our recent trip to Texas for An Evening With Last Stand II. Dustin reflects on meeting our audience at not only our recent event, but events past, and on the pure and undeniable power of positive fan interaction. Micah wonders how we go about packing for trips, and how we all spin the wheel when it comes to preparing for the unexpected. With none of us having ever visited Houston, Dagan's topic is framed around exploring new places, and our inclination (or lack thereof) to make the most out of limited time. Finally, Colin wades into the ongoing hotels vs. AirBNB debate, one that seemed long-settled until recent years, when hotels started making a roaring comeback. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's another week, which means it's time for another brand-new episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by the Dukes: Lord Cognito and MrMattyPlays. Cog kicks things off with notions of vacationing, how we carve free time out for ourselves, and what rest and relaxation looks like in our respective lives. Matty inquires about the crew's various so-called life hacks, and how we manage our time, activity, and production in a world that demands so much of us. Dagan is curious if any of us believe in ghosts, if we've had eerie encounters in the past, and what we make of the possibilities of the ethereal plane and the truly unknown. And finally, Colin winds things down with a thought exercise: The perfect crime. In an era of modernity, technology, and constant connection, is such a thing even possible today? If so, what would need to be accounted for? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We're pleased to welcome a very special guest to this episode of Constellation: The man behind all of Last Stand's music, Ramon Narvaez (aka Colin's best friend since freshman year of college). This week, Dustin asks what our pet peeves are, and what trivial human behaviors drive us mad. Dagan discusses the ups and downs of drinking alcohol, and our various bouts with it (or lack thereof) over time in our respective lives. Ramon goes into the nerdy weeds to outline how Last Stand's soundtrack came to be, and how it's evolved over time, with special attention paid to production and inspirations. And finally, Colin wants to know the answer to a simple-yet-monumental question: What happens when we die? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
