Constellation, Episode 23 | UFOs, Fast Food, Our Horoscopes, Hills Worth Dying On
Added 2023-06-12 20:01:01 +0000 UTCWelcome, friends, to another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's weekly conversational podcast. This time around, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand executive producer Dustin Furman and coordinator Micah Watson (both also co-hosts of our new Nintendo show, Punching Up). Dagan wants to know what hills are worth dying on. In other words, what do we believe so staunchly that we'd fight over it to the bitter end? Dustin delves into a favorite topic of ours: Fast food. He specifically mines us for our favorite fast food joints, as well as the restaurants we find most overrated and underrated. Micah took the time to do each of our horoscopes, delving into our respective signs from three different perspectives. How do we feel about what our star charts say about us? Finally, Colin brings a heavy point of conversation this week, one that seems strangely loose in recent weeks and months: UFOs. Whistleblowers are... well... blowing the whistle. Are we seriously about to find out that aliens are, in fact, real?

2023-06-26 16:07:29 +0000 UTCA little late to the party. I’m a European that is very pro American. Dare I say American football is the superior football? Yes, oh yes I dare say. As a European, I am in a position to say that the US has been a big plus in my life. Even though the US isn’t an old or ancient civilisation in contrast to many European countries, American culture has influenced me infinitely, through technology, tv, movies and video games, literature and, admittedly, food. To top it all off, every year I think of the US soldiers who saved us from nazi Germany and shielded us (in Western Europe at least) from the USSR’s influence. That selfless America was the epitome of is greatness imo. So, I’m happy we’re very aligned today. And even if I believe the EU should stand more on its own legs, I hope our friendship and partnership with the US lasts. I don’t think I’d want to live in the US though, I’m a social worker so my skillset is probably valued more in the EU. But I do believe that these last hundred years, the US is the greatest country in the world.

Their waffle fries used to be hot or miss for me. Sometimes I would get a nice batch, but a lot of times, the waffle fries would be luke warm, soggy, or underdone (I once bit into one that was still raw).

2023-06-20 08:01:36 +0000 UTCWendy's breakfast is great. Don't let Micah's opinion dissuade anyone from at least trying it. We're all well aware of the insanely eccentric taste in food that she has. :)

2023-06-20 04:50:01 +0000 UTCI think UFO’s that people aren’t necessarily Aliens, but things that are in the Spirit Realm. especially since they don’t emit any heat or infrared signal. If you are a religious person you may understand that there are angels and demons that can interact with the physical realm. I know people don’t associate Demons with aircrafts, but it may not be an aircraft that they are seeing. Now if they actually have Bodies and aircrafts hidden somewhere I got nothing. Lol I could be wrong but that’s my take.

Raymond keys
2023-06-15 20:20:45 +0000 UTCAt least their ad campaigns of the last year haven't tried being quirky or current. They're literally just a jingle. I honestly respect it (WHOOPER, WHOPPER) Lol.

2023-06-15 20:17:47 +0000 UTCThe UAP topic is strangely meta for me given that a few other podcasts I listen to have actually been covering a lot of it recently (and one specifically is actually currently covering the Manhattan Project). Granted I've always been a big consumer of Paranormal content but still, the sheer volume now is kinda wild.
Josh Gamez
2023-06-15 20:16:31 +0000 UTCI very well may get banned for saying this, but Fuck Burger King lol. I also can’t stand those weird singing commercials they have. I probably will never got here again now.

2023-06-15 17:56:56 +0000 UTCThe more I hear Micah on podcasts, the more I want to be her friend lol.

2023-06-15 13:19:45 +0000 UTCEver since I read about the Grush interview I have gone on a deep dive into what people think is going and on. Lot’s of wacky stuff on YouTube. Would love to know what the scientists have been saying. Please let us know which interviews you’ve been watching.

2023-06-14 21:38:54 +0000 UTCIt’s called Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World. Yesterday I listened to an episode about blue orb’s at Skinwalker Ranch. Interesting shit he even has an episode of Bob Lazar lol

2023-06-14 20:53:51 +0000 UTCWhat's the name of that podcast? Sounds like an interesting listen.
Lovat
2023-06-14 20:42:18 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to the religious question when it comes to aliens. I’m actually listening to a conspiracy theory podcast with a Catholic perspective. And they actually do have a few episodes about ufo’s and aliens. And their overall conclusion is that if aliens exists it would make no difference to religion at least for Catholics since, they been asking these same questions for hundreds of years.

2023-06-14 19:31:11 +0000 UTCPlease check out Wendy's "hot drink" training song from the 80s. It's better than it has any right to be.

2023-06-14 16:21:42 +0000 UTCTheir fries are good but they you can get a bag of waffle chips. It’s a catering staple for them but you can sub your fries for a bag of chips

2023-06-14 14:15:30 +0000 UTCThey are the superior fast food fry, I LOVE a good waffle fry.

2023-06-14 03:02:30 +0000 UTCChick Fil A waffle potato chips are amazing. They are super salty like McDonald's fries salt level. It's worth a try if you haven't had them yet

2023-06-14 01:28:49 +0000 UTCI can’t believe the vastness of the universe is just for ambiance

2023-06-13 23:29:49 +0000 UTCThere is a really great episode from South Park about aliens called Pinewood Derby where Randy Marsh accidentally discovers warp speed. I highly recommend this episode.

2023-06-13 22:33:40 +0000 UTCPreach Dagan!!! Chick-fil-A most overrated fast food quite possibly ever.
Cory Knudsen
2023-06-13 21:01:30 +0000 UTCAs for Wawa vs Sheets...I'll concede without concession, cuz it's true even though Wawa is NOT in fact garbage. Chick-fil-A is perfection, facts. Burger King is THE most inconsistent place on the planet (ironically I was eating very meh BK while writing this). Dairy Queen is shockingly underrated for food, especially their chicken strips. In-N-Out is overrated in my humble opinion.
Lou & Rei Loper
2023-06-13 20:01:40 +0000 UTCI 100% agree with Micah on that 'family' not being an absolute MUST keep horseshit. I (thankfully) love my siblings, my mommy (yea I said it at 43 years old)...but I absolutely do not believe that just because you happened to be born with/related to someone, that it means a damn thing. Sure it's awesome when it works out, but I have always believed that you choose who your real family is. It's crazy to just deal with whatever someone throws at you indefinitely just...because?

2023-06-13 19:46:49 +0000 UTCVideos games are special, no doubt about that. The interactive nature of them, the worlds the we get to play in - amazing. But, I will disagree that its the superior medium. Its not there YET. To compare Shakespeare or some other literary giant to any video game - I just don't see it. Colin made the point recently that FF XVI will have over a dozen hours of cutscenes as a justification for having video games as his primary medium. But, line by line, moment to moment, character development, etc.; will FF XVI narrative/writing "beat" any great fantasy fiction? I highly doubt it. I just played the demo, and there was some good stuff there, but a lot of it was filler/standard fantasy dialogue. I do think that this is where the issue comes from. The Last of Us is one of my favorite games and its narrative/characters are some of my favorite in video games. But on its merits, does it compare to the top 10 films? Top 100? I don't believe it does. There is also the primary issue of the moment to moment. When you read a book, you are engaging with and interpreting every line. Many, many authors have beautiful, and sometimes dense prose. Every single page, for hundreds of pages. How does invading a camp in Far Cry compare to that? Or stalking people in TLOU? Its engaging, not doubt, but is it really as intellectually engaging? TLDR; video games, from a narrative front, have a long way to go. And that's okay; the interactivity and player agency of video games cannot be matched by any other medium. It is therefore essential that people have a comprehensive art "diet" in which a person consumes books/movies/video games. As every medium brings something special.

2023-06-13 19:38:09 +0000 UTCRutters>Royal Farms>Sheets>Wawa. In Allentown we have like 10 Wawas and each one is worst then the next. If Dagan drives up 309 one day then he should stop in Quakertown for Bojangles chicken. Phenomenal chicken lol. Also Taco Bell is the goat of all fast foods 😎
Michael Mashpotato
2023-06-13 19:17:16 +0000 UTCColin you promised me credible sources if I wanted to look into UFOs more and I guess you forgot. I need you to drop these sources somewhere. I’m dying to know more.

2023-06-13 19:12:03 +0000 UTCAs a California native, this Wawa-Sheetz talk is completely foreign to me
Ethan Barcelos
2023-06-13 18:49:13 +0000 UTCColin, I don't know if Williamsburg VA is too far of a drive for you, but Mooyah Burgers, Fries, and Shakes are pretty good. They are kinda similar to Five Guys. It's worth trying!

2023-06-13 16:51:37 +0000 UTCMy dad always called Burger King whopper a Squishy. Am I the only one how heard that

2023-06-13 16:34:25 +0000 UTCDustin, I feel you on the stress of buying a new couch. I just recently decided to invest in something of higher quality than my usual mid couches/futons I’ve had over the last decade or so. The Lindyn Fog Sectional from Coleman Furniture is suuuuper comfortable. I got one with an extra piece in the middle so it’s about 12 feet wide. Perfect for my girlfriend curling up on the chaise with the switch while I’m on the PS5, our dog stretched out on the other end and still plenty of room to boot. Just thought I’d throw an option out there for you to mull over. Happy couch hunting!

2023-06-13 12:16:34 +0000 UTCI love that Dagan prefaced his topic by saying it could be that Sonic is better then Mario, then immediately dives into a topic as heavy as racism haha.
Cai
2023-06-13 10:07:01 +0000 UTCIt’s actually wild how much growth I experienced once I removed myself from their influence, my social life started to thrive, I adopted a dog, got promoted at work, met a girl and I feel like the future holds a lot more positivity now. Thanks Micah!
Ben
2023-06-13 03:15:35 +0000 UTCI’m sorry you’ve had to navigate that situation, it’s never easy. The realization of how much happier I was after taking the steps to separate myself from certain people was huge. And being less stressed out everyday made it worth the effort to create those boundaries. Wishing you the best! -Micah

2023-06-13 03:04:27 +0000 UTCDude...Del Taco. Respect. I usually opt for the homemade soba place next door, but not gonna lie, I feel a little pain every time I do.

2023-06-13 02:58:01 +0000 UTCOof the “cutting toxic family out of your life” bit really hit hard. I’ve been struggling with that over the last 3 years with my mom and sister. Cut them out of my life for my own sake but it’s been really hard.
