Constellation, Episode 15 | Gambling, Conspiracy Theories, Collecting, Milestone Birthdays
Added 2023-04-19 16:00:07 +0000 UTCIt'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.

2023-04-23 01:48:36 +0000 UTCMicah is my favorite part of these episodes. Sheβs always so happy to be there and her cracking up at everything is so great. Not sure if she sees this but great job and so glad when you are on shows!

2023-04-20 19:52:01 +0000 UTCColin, Please pass this message along today Dagan. Colonel Sanders didn't start KFC until he was 65. He's got plenty of time.

2023-04-20 16:57:50 +0000 UTCSince Colin brought up Ayn Rand I want to say it would be awesome if Dustin read Atlas Shrugged. (Or listen to it)

2023-04-20 16:24:27 +0000 UTCI am very much with Dagan on cryptids being real. I mean before like 200 years ago it was believed gorillas weren't real. Plus, If some of the Lovecraftian looking species of marine life can be real, how cant thinks like the Loch Ness Monster and the Rougarou be real?!? Lol

2023-04-20 15:46:38 +0000 UTCIf I'm remember correctly, Stanley Kubrick actually claimed he was the one that filmed the moon landing on his death bed or some shit, and that's probably the biggest reason that obnoxious conspiracy even has the legs it has now lol.

2023-04-20 15:24:11 +0000 UTCI can't be the only one who had Bo Burnhams "Turnig 30" ringing in their head during that age discussion? Great episode, as always!

2023-04-20 14:33:47 +0000 UTCThe flat earth stuff is almost infuriatingly silly, as the people argue on their phones or computers using technology powered by satellites lol. The birds thing is probably the wildest shit I've literally ever heard lol. I'd sooner believe the flat earth people before I'd even entertain the idea of that haha. I would love to hear someone with good arguing skills, spell out why this is true. That would be fascinating to hear.

2023-04-20 13:24:27 +0000 UTCI always thought Operation Northwoods was enough justification for why the US Government wanted JFK dead. Department of Defense worked with the CIA and proposed a plan to carry out terrorist attacks on US military and civilians so they could blame it on Cuba. Supposedly it was approved by every single person who needed to approve it until it got to JFK's desk and he rejected it. Some of the most insane stuff I've ever heard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

2023-04-20 02:02:44 +0000 UTCMy favorite conspiracy theory is that Colin does a fresh read of all the names at the end of every LSM episode.

2023-04-20 00:06:14 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say Michaela, if you see this, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss!! Hope you're doing okay. On a more upbeat I'm so looking forward to hearing about todays topics, especially collecting
Zack Fair
2023-04-19 23:50:31 +0000 UTCI want a show from LSM done maybe every 6 to 8 months about conspiracy theories. Various different conspiracy theories. Historical stuff alien shit all that good stuff, that shit is like cracked to me.

2023-04-19 22:29:15 +0000 UTCI didn't know that we'd get here, but I've been saying for YEARS that people place an unnecessary stigma on the word 'selfish'. Breathing is selfish but not looked down upon, so is eating. Not having children is selfish.....but so is HAVING children! People don't have children because the children asked to be born, they have children because THEY want children. People don't look at those two things as the same, but they are one of many things that have stigmas for no reason.

2023-04-19 22:08:00 +0000 UTCMicah almost made me drive off the road with her ASMR suggestion, that sounds like extreme torture! π³

2023-04-19 21:42:36 +0000 UTCState Lottos should be illegal. Itβs a fact that gambling increases as wealth decreases. The state should not be enabling a regressive tax with the promise of effortless wealth

2023-04-19 20:44:34 +0000 UTCPhysical games, collectors editions, Amiibo, vinyl and recently figmas are my weaknesses. I love to collect those things. Recently received the Octopath2, RE4, Pixel remaster and Ys9 collectors editions. Also the new Balance and Composure EP vinyl on pre order Iβm running out of room lol.

2023-04-19 20:44:05 +0000 UTCHaha I think that every time someone says they wish they had a million dollars. It's a lot of money, but it's absolutely not 'quit your job money' unless you don't plan to live long or you are fine living off of very little over 20-50 years haha.
Lou & Rei Loper
2023-04-19 20:34:30 +0000 UTCMicha seems like a nice lady but she has some of the craziest takes I've ever heard (particularly when it comes to food). A million dollars is enough to wish for? That's not even "quit your job and never have to work" again money for someone her age.
Michael Brennan
2023-04-19 20:20:24 +0000 UTCThere is ABSOLUTELY an amount of money that I would not want to win. I don't gamble (but my dad certainly does......) and if I ever did and won some ridiculous $100M lotto, the overwhelming majority of that money would be gone as quickly as I got it. I don't need that kind of thing hanging over my head especially with the people it would bring into your life. I'm pretty good with finances (it's like a fun RPG to me) and I can math out how much would be needed to have a nice comfy life and still have something to leave to whomever, but that money would go to others in need instead. Man I seem to agree with Micah a lot about things....well except for ham being the best meat haha. Edit: I unpaused and Micah just said she wished for a propeller hat....I rescind my previous statement π€£ππ€£

2023-04-19 17:01:12 +0000 UTCI turned off Seinfeld on 'Spike's Car Radio' for this...that's how much I love Stelly. SEINFELD!!! (I feel gross now for having said Stelly lol)
