Constellation, Episode 21 | Modern Dating, Things We Hate Doing, American History Quiz, Favorite Smells
Added 2023-05-29 16:00:09 +0000 UTCIt'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.

I have to chime in on this. The quizzes are awesome and I would actually like to see it as a weekly opening segment. Not sure how anyone thinks they are truly mean spirited.

2023-06-01 06:56:25 +0000 UTCThe quiz segment is so good you should make it a regular segment.

2023-06-01 01:56:26 +0000 UTCDude you gotta stop with the quizzes lol like you said you're not doing it to be mean spirited you're doing it to laugh, but THAT IS what makes it seem mean spirited! It's fun to be self deprecating to yourself, but it's completely different when you bring these quizzes that you frame as "I could have answered all these in 9th grade so let's go through this and we'll laugh at you!" I know you're not meaning it in a mean spirited away but you gotta recognize the difference between being self deprecating to yourself and someone else bringing in something that you don't know about for the purpose of laughing at you lol I would very much appreciate an interesting topic that I can hear everyone's perspectives on rather than these random quizzes so you can laugh at forcing people to be self deprecating 😂

2023-05-31 14:31:29 +0000 UTCIf Dagan is a sitcom character, then would Micah be an anime character? 😄

2023-05-31 14:31:10 +0000 UTCDo a smell test comparing brand new shoes of different brands and see if your nose knows which is which. 👀

2023-05-31 11:40:37 +0000 UTCI, for one, love the quiz segments. I understand it's not for everyone, but as a serious American history buff it was hilarious to me to listen to everyone struggle to answer these questions.

2023-05-31 07:06:36 +0000 UTCCan we all just please acknowledge that Dagan is clearly a sitcom character. 😂 -In someone else's car -"How dare you impose your scent on me" -Hates... Dishwashers? -Hates... Putting away dishes? -etc.

2023-05-31 04:57:49 +0000 UTCI remember being grilled about not knowing the date of the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan once...then I looked it up while we were talking, and I saw that it was actually ON my very 1st birthday lol. I was still trying to learn how to eat birthday cake, so I think I should have some slack.

2023-05-30 21:18:53 +0000 UTCI love the quizzes. Such a fun engagement topic. Hope the crew doesn’t continue to see them as derogatory.
Noah Trujillo
2023-05-30 19:57:55 +0000 UTCI don’t hate the quizzes, but the way the co-hosts aren’t into them really drags down the segment. Would be better if people had signed up for quizzes ahead of time.

2023-05-30 17:51:03 +0000 UTCYo Colin! A working designs ss+ episode would be absolutely dope and appreciated 🤘🙏

2023-05-30 17:36:05 +0000 UTCHis comment on storytelling is so key. One of my history professors was amazing at that. Another just read facts, and injected his own biases into the lessons. Plot Twist: ultimatey me and a group of other students filled a petition and got him fired. Not only was he an asshole, but would literally blame past events on the modern Republican party. At one point said "the south was all republicans anyways, we should have just let them leave." 🤦

2023-05-30 14:55:27 +0000 UTCNot completely opposed to Colin's quizzes, but the flow isn't right yet. Found myself wishing it would move faster. Appreciate it being better for audio listeners this time though.

2023-05-30 10:59:51 +0000 UTCThe quiz segments so far have been really bad. The ones on Punching Up weren't good either. Very uninteresting hearing the people on the show try to answer questions like this and it goes on, and on, and on. This was the weakest episode of Constellation by far.

2023-05-30 00:18:16 +0000 UTCme whenever they pick a topic i know i can contribute well on
Gene Park
2023-05-29 23:55:15 +0000 UTCHonestly don't like these quizzes and would prefer a topic. To each their own, I guess.
Brandon Soto
2023-05-29 23:09:07 +0000 UTCShoutout to Dagan for reading Blood Meridian, absolute banger of a book

2023-05-29 20:13:14 +0000 UTCColin - when you do quiz topics wait until all the answers have been read before reading the answer!
DeucesBruh
2023-05-29 19:46:16 +0000 UTCI might be the only one, but this show frustrates me sometimes because I want to chime in and interact with the topic and can't. It's just me at work talking to myself, which is a little weird when my coworkers walk past my office and wonder who I am talking to lol BTW favorite smell is the pine trees here in the PNW.

2023-05-29 19:35:19 +0000 UTCLove hearing Colin talk about history. Makes it sound so interesting.
