Jaffe rules

Jake Nunley

Late to this comment, but exactly! Who are the snowflakes again?

Gooch Gobbler

I agree about Micah, she is great…

Marco Maluf

Dang y’all I though the LSM crew was more open this. Are there really so many peeps who can’t even hear other opinions, like Jaffes? This whole network is about not living in your little circle jerk holes of conservatism/liberalism. Wake up and listen to other people ya lazy nerds.

Spencer Jones

I agree with Micah completely on the anal thing lol. Its a time and place thing.

Victor Melchor

Micah has good chemistry with everyone honestly.

Victor Melchor

Constellation has grown to become almost my favorite lsm product outside of sacred.... until Jaffe starts talking. I'd rather hear gene talk about how much tang he pulls

counterpoint: jaffe funny

This is Constellations not Sacred Symbols. Constellations is about random topics and opinions with 2-3 guests, an echo chamber is not good to entertain an audience. That being said I had to turn this off after Jaffe got into his topic (may as well the embodiment of far left Twitter), guy is a bored old man still trying to rage against the machine he was raging against in Christian Alabama in 1985. No one needs to be listening to a circle jerk, but Jaffe is just interrupting and about as arrogant as they come. This one was just too much for me. God I could just imagine him during COVID with look at the data and this is the new normal.

God I am so fucking SICK of Jaffe’s mealy-mouthed marxist bellyaching. The man is a walking, speaking, New York Times Op Ed piece, and I specifically listen to LSM because I’m trying to GET AWAY from that shit. Stop inviting him on, but knowing you, you’re just going to do it out of spite, so I’ll say this: the man is harming your product. You sell escapism, and literally every word out of his mouth that isn’t “I remember when” is a fucking cancer. If “remember when” is the lowest form on conversation, consider the value of a man for whom it is his single redeeming trait.

Micah is so fucking funny

Anthony Palerino

Wouldn’t be a last stand show with jaffe without him bashing Christians 🙄

Brian Comstock

Also the milk discussion wasn't complete because I need to know what they all do with Oreos

Jose Horrach

This episode has taught me that Micah is a freak. Good for Colin.

Jose Horrach

CUM FROM A RAINBOW LOLOLOLOL

The Devmeister

Maybe they’ll have twins, Mika and Colon

OnkiDonkGinkGonk

SIGN ME UP LOLOLOLOLL

The Devmeister

Micah was fucking hilarious in this episode. Her and Jaffe are a great combo.

Ray Millares

I’m late to this, but on the voting age thing, I’m not sure that the immaturity of being an 18 year old should really matter as regards to voting rights. I normally roll my eyes at slippery slope arguments, but an easy way to see this getting out of control goes like this. 18 year olds can’t vote because they are immature. Then after that, perhaps the mentally challenged can’t vote unless they pass a state IQ test or something. Mentally I’ll? Can’t let you vote you aren’t as “mature” as the non mentally I’ll. Myself and plenty of people don’t like the opinions of 18 year olds. But we have decided they are adults. I would also ask Colin what problem he thinks he would be solving with this? Like what election only went the way it did because of those darn 18-24 year olds? Genuinely curious about that. Loved the episode Micah was really on point here

Retlaw

"I'm depressed. Let's talk about milk." Thanks Jaffe, for one of the best segues of all time.

NinjaDC

Love the serious topics when they come about. Micah has experienced a lot of what I experienced being mixed. Even now as I live in Florida people almost don’t believe racism still exists. Wild

Dimitreus Newell

just cuz he has integrity doesn't mean he's cut out to be a leader. i hate politicians as much as the next guy, but fetterman is self-evidently not an acceptable substitute. you need someone with a different kind of charisma—fetterman just has *no* charisma

Superhero Jagganath

1 of the best eps, especially the opening. Need an official LSM “Shit on my dick gurrlll” shirt 🤣

NeO JD

Fetterman(yes is recovering from a stroke and talks weird sometimes) became the first politician in the country from either party to call on the blatant corrupt Senator from NJ to resign after bribes from foreign interests were found in his home. The stroked out UPS guy showed more basic integrity than every other buttoned up politician on the Hill

RoughSlpr

I understand where you’re coming from. Having thought about it some more, I’ve realized that what really gets me going about the conflation of Judaism as a religion and Judaism as a people is that it is, ultimately, a dangerous form of erasure. There is an animosity toward religion as an institution which may be justified, but applying that to the Jewish people as a whole would be, in my opinion, intellectually dishonest. To erase the fundamental ethnic core of what it means to be Jewish—a people who have survived millenniums of persecution—gives ammunition to those who want to destroy us, and excuses to those who choose inaction. Throughout our existence, and increasingly so in contemporary Western society, Jews have been targeted not because of our religion, but despite it. With some exception (Spanish Inquisition, for example), we are not targeted because we are religious, we are targeted for our blood. Nazis did not discriminate between Jews who prayed in synagogues and Jews who prayed in churches, or those who served no god at all. However it may have been employed as an excuse to exterminate us during WWII, the Nazis did not fabricate Jewish ethnicity. That is to say, the Neo-Nazi in that comment section wasn’t targeting your religion, and neither was Hitler. To imply otherwise is where erasure, unintentional on your part no doubt, comes in. I myself don’t identify strictly with any religion at this point in my life and am primarily agnostic, but that doesn’t subtract my Jewishness. It becomes difficult to explain to countless people who believe out of sheer ignorance that my identity is solely a religious one. That it is a rich ethnic culture with tangible value extending far beyond the bounds of “sky daddy’s book” is lost on far too many people, effectively erasing said culture, and incorrectly pinning the increasingly dire issue of antisemitism, an ethnic issue (immutable), into a religious one (just drop the book or convert). I appreciate you engaging with me on this, hope we can continue this conversation. Nothing but love at the end of the day.

Jacob R.

This was a really great episode. Second I found out Jaffe was on I got excited. Love that guy

Christopher Hoff

The best kind of chaotic

Lemon Pepper

Colin extra quiet during Micah and Jaffe anal sex debate. Mans gettin it 😂

Lemon Pepper

I really like Jaffe

I need timestamps so I can skip over Jaffe's nonsense takes more easily

Zac Lebeau

I hope Colin and Micah name their first daughter Mika to forever confuse Jaffe.

Trapgunner

I keep spending all of my lunch allowance on them!

FrenchFryFiasco

Anal sex is cool

Messenger

😱 Her WHAT!?! I clearly and thankfully missed that revelation, I may have jumped off a bridge.

Lou & Rei Loper

It cracks me up that everyone thinks of themselves as a great driver, and everyone else as an incompetent one. Not just the hosts, of course, I really do mean everyone.

Zackery Parkerson

I learned more about Micah today than I really needed to 🤣

Adam Barnes

Well I don't want any affiliation with any religion because I think religions are outdated and dangerous (at a philosophical level; certainly I would never deny anyone their religion and I am happy there are things in the world people can embrace that bring comfort in the chaos of life). As for lineage, I don't know or care. Clearly I have some Jewish blood in me...you can look at me and see that. I love that; I love how I look. I love how my dad (who was Jewish in religion and ethnicity) looked. And I love some aspects of the Jewish culture (mostly the embracing of debate and discussion and searching for answers to the big questions). But I also have my mom's blood who was a Southern Baptist before she converted to marry my dad and had Sweedish, German, Native American,etc. blood. So in YOUR eyes, if that makes me Jewish, cool. I'm not offended by it. I just like to be clear because a) the religious part and b) given I'm a mutt I'm not really sure what my lineage does to help someone define it. But yeah, proud and loud agnostic over here. Which- to be fair and speaking at a pure religion level- is really what everyone is even if they don't want to admit it to themselves. I mean, unless you are talking deep, deep subconscious awareness of what is happening that we block off from ourselves in order to experience this life...but that's a whole other conversation :).

David Jaffe

I’ve long been confused by Jaffe’s proclamations that he’s “not Jewish”. Obviously I’m not aware of the full picture of his life, and I could be missing something, but it’s pretty strange to me that someone of his age and apparent origin doesn’t understand the fundamental, unequivocal fact that being Jewish is first and foremost a question of ethnicity and therefore lineage. Disavowing the ethnoreligious aspect of Judaism does not make you any less Jewish. What does he mean when he says he’s not Jewish? Like dude, you’re Jewish. You’re no less Jewish than a person whose father is Cuban, Iraqi, or Indian is Cuban, Iraqi, or Indian. Needless to say, this isn’t something than anyone has to explain or divulge beyond their comfort, but as someone quite proud of my Jewish lineage this rubs me in a weird, weird way. What’s the aversion, Jaffe? Anyway, this was purely a vent in the annals of the comments section. I expect it to be lost to the void, but I needed to say it. Farewell

Jacob R.

I’d like to think that most reasonable people agree on term limits. Seems like bi-partisan support issue. Feinstein, McConnell, get them all out of there. I’m not strictly opposed to voting age of 21, but you may as well just raise legal adulthood to 21. It doesn’t make sense to be serving in the military while also being unable to vote. Just imo

Zeke the Plumber

So I agree that voting at 25 would be good, but just like with this new law about smoking grits and being 21 or older. If an 18 year old is expected and allowed to go off to war to fight and die for you and is treated like an adult, then I think you should be allowed to vote at 18 just like with smoking and I suppose drinking. Mandatory term limits though, I’m down with that

Michael Thew

Milk is delicious and refreshing. I drink it as a dessert. I always buy whole milk, but the other versions are good too. I don't drink soda, sweet tea, etc. at home. So the only alternatives I have to water are milk and beer. Imo drinking milk during a meal is a bit weird unless you are eating something like cereal or PBJ.

MetroidIsBetterIn2D

Awesome episode! A lot of deeper conversations than I expected at first. Love to hear it, and Jaffe is so good about pushing that kind of granular discussion within a topic.

PuppiesOnParade

Is Micah gonna talk about her ketchup in milk affection……🙃

Cyprus Davis

Those bedsheets are so expensive too since the patterns are so complicated.

Noah Friscopp

Hmm, yeah I’m not sure I agree with Micah about toasting lettuce. I wouldn’t say “it’s meant to be toasted.” Heating lettuce just turns it into a wilted mess. Reminds me of the Kitchen Nightmares episode where they served him a grilled salad (actually grilled the lettuce). And yikes at the toasting mayonnaise story, that sounds awful. Edit: Colin’s take on raising the voting age is interesting. 25 is a hard sell for me, but I would consider 21 to be somewhat reasonable. But, it’s still a slippery slope. If an 18 year old can serve in the military, an 18 year old should be able to vote. The conversation becomes broader then, should 18 years old be legal adulthood or should that whole bar be raised to 21?

Zeke the Plumber

Any podcast combination that involves Jaffe and/or Gene is a winning combination

Zeke the Plumber

Watching 300 play out on your front lawn with 1 dude is CRAZY

Pisqueak

I drive around the Lehigh Valley fixing dents and door dings and I must say that Pennsylvania drivers are awful. If there is even one rain drop here then just stay home because traffic here will be brutal. Pennsylvania drivers need to be tested frequently. Pop quiz TF out of this place

Michael Mashpotato

Man Micah’s on everything now!

Ryan

Still traumatized over the chocolate milk and ketchup take.

Landon Keith

Saw milk and immediately knew Micah was on the episode

NeighBuRrR

Jaffe's back baby

Kate

Before every episode I always try to guess who will be on. I guess Jaffe and Micah and my mind is blown
