Constellation, Episode 54 | Good Deeds, Eating Healthy, Expiration Dates, Constellation Reflections
Added 2024-01-15 17:00:14 +0000 UTC
Greetings and salutations! Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by LSM executive producer Dustin Furman and coordinator Micah Moriarty. We have two food-related topics this week, and while they're not similar, we positioned them back-to-back. On the one hand, Dustin wants to talk about his move towards healthier eating, and how our respective daily diets add to or detract from our overall health. Then, Micah dishes about expiration dates, specifically with the things we eat. What is our confidence in these mysterious dates? Are we hardcore followers, or do we throw caution to the wind? Meanwhile, Dagan wants to opine about not only doing good deeds, but being on the receiving end as well, and how the reciprocity therein helps make the world go 'round. Finally, one listener compiled some interesting data about our humble podcast Constellation, and Colin goes through some of it, wondering how the show may morph and improve into the future.
I am just now hearing this episode. This is for Micah; screw all the negative comments, you are awesome on all of the shows just like the whole Last Stand team!

- I love Michah calling out Colin, but it also makes me uncomfortable when they’re together on a pod. I like her outside of Colin episodes.
- I like others skip any episode involving politics.
- I would love more episodes with more revolving chairs.

Just dropping by to also give my props to Micah. Some of the absolute best laughs I've gotten from LSM content have been from Micah. She is fantastic.

Micah is one of LSM's secret sauces. Don't focus on the negative. She rocks!
You rock Micah!

To me, Constellation should be any four LSM members chatting about whatever they want. Some weeks a theme for topics may make sense, some weeks 4 random ones may make more sense.

No complaints here about Micah. Love her different takes. Make Constellation her show and the only constant anchor and rotate out the rest!

I’m not a fan of single topic eps because there might be a chance I might not like the topic. However, I don’t skip eps but I know some would for sure like Micah said.

Dustin, just get a treadmill for your exercise. You can watch one piece episodes while getting exercise.
I'm not being facetious. It is a great multi task life hack. Anime episodes being 20min make great treadmill intervals with watching 1-2 episodes for 20-40 min sessions.

Micah should be regular in Constellation her view is always interesting. She's awesome, fuck the haters.
About the changes to the show I really liked all the options you guys proposed, I'm deeply biased so whatever LSM makes I listen to. Keep it up!

colin talking about “good deeds” is probably an unbearable listen. colin trying to convince everyone he’s a good boy despite being a fascist. i wish he was just honest about what type of person he is

If you’re complaining about Micah’s inclusion in more shows (and I mean this sincerely) go fuck yourself. I love hearing from the canned bread captain.

I don't agree Joe Biden is to blame for our inflation, but our government is definitely part of the blame. They pumped insane amounts of money into the system in a very short amount of time. Pair that with broken supply chains and you get what we have. An inflation super storm. Products became scarce while cash became abundant. There is not a better example of the law of supply and demand in action.

Around 1996, I remember being at a friend’s house and saw he had a tin of QWICK chocolate powder and i had to make some chocolate milk…. I was reading the back of the tin because it had a He-Man promo on the back then checked the exp date…. Expired in ‘85… i was lmfao

Do we really have Joe Biden to thank for expensive food(inflation)? My experience working in the grocery biz as a merchant can tell you much of this is the fault of grocers and their distribution. The eggs were driven by culling chickens for bird flu/extreme heat. The pandemic highlighted the weaknesses of a JIT inventory distribution system. It has finally recovered for the most part but the high commodity prices are to sticky.

Also, when i was in grade school(Texas)… in music class we were singing this song that went “Who built the Ark? Noah! Noah!” I thought i was “Who built the Ark, No one, No one”

Good discussion at the beginning of the show. I just hope whatever you do with Stelly it stays clear from video game and "nerd" topics because I personally feel a little oversaturated with that content with all the lsm shows that already cover it.
Would love regular sports discussions when there are important things going on!

Do a “Family Matters” theme rotation involving only the Moriarty family.

Who the hell is hating on Micah? I'm always down for more Micah on any show. I think she vibes with everyone else very naturally.

I think rotating the cast out and having someone else host an episoderandomlu and seeing how to they handle it would be interesting. Let Colin rest, he's tired boss

I want Colin to make Chris and Dustin watch the Super Bowl and then do a podcast about it

One of the worst expiration date situations happened when I was visiting my aunts for dinner. She pulled out a 2 liter of Pepsi. So far so good but then i notice that the Pepsi has a promotion on it for The Polar Express movie. That movie came out in 2004. This was summer 2009... So i had the smallest glass possible without being rude. It tasted really weird.

More themed episodes sounds good but one topic episodes would be eh. And who the hell is complaining about Micah? She’s awesome! Always a joy to have her on the pods. I’ve learned in the last few months that most communities on Reddit are just a cesspool of bitter people

When you guys were talking about finding a way to enjoy working out, the answer is connected to your PS5. VR. There are so many cardio heavy games out there.

Micah you’re hilarious and we all love having you on the show. Also inside baseball about Colin is funny shit. Don’t listen to haters.

Love Constellation as it is. Its at its best as a weekly show with the two main hosts and 2 random guests.

Constellation could easily go down to 2or3 people depending on the subject and yes you could do 1 subject once in awhile.I could hear it in everyone voice that you guys are at your limit. Trying to fill 6 days of content is taking it's toll most people work 5 days a week, stop putting so much pressure on yourself Colin. Also I think Punching up is fine like it is. Nintendo is not constant enought to justify extra episodes. I know you got a strong work ethic Colin ,but I think your at your limit. Also if you start to back out of some episodes you can test to see how the company does when you retire.

Who the fuck said Micah is on too much? I just wanna talk!!!
Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate
2024-01-15 20:29:35 +0000 UTC
Micah is objectively one of the most likable people. That’s her personality. So if someone doesn’t like her that’s a personality issue with them. IMO I guess.

Colin, have you ever considered choosing the weekly “Constellation” of people via RNG, dice roll, or drawing names from a hat? Let the fates decide!

When I see comments about people wanting less Dagan and Micah, I just scratch my head because they're the ones I'm here to listen to. I'm younger than Dagan but I've got two preteen boys who keep me busy and a wife and mortgage and all the rest, so oftentimes I relate to a lot of what Dagan is saying and can commiserate with being the old man... And as for Micah, she is hands down the funniest member of the LSM family. Gene has his moments, but Micah is the queen. Plus, as a fellow AFI fan, I gotta support those who know what's good.

People complaining that Micah is on Stelly too much- If you have a crush on Colin just say it bro. Micah's unique (and sometimes unhinged) takes on literally everything are what makes LSM content so fun and fresh.

Hey Colin, just wait for Season 4 of Castlevania. They took one of my favorite characters and flipped the role upside down...lol 😉

I get not wanting to do time codes for time reasons, but can we at least list the topics in order so I have some idea of what I’m doing if I want to scrub through and find a topic?

I’d always been down for more sports topics, especially looking at leagues you actively watch like the NFL, and ones you don’t, like the NBA. F1 has also gotten really big in the US especially in the last few years, have you ever considered watching it? Stuff like that.
Noah Trujillo

I have no issue of Micah covering a chair for a schedule conflict. I’ll always welcome another topic. Plus her view point on topics are welcomed in my eyes.

I love this show. It has been great so far. I just avoid the political topics. I’ve been told to die by family members because of my politics.
I’m a give you the shirt off my back kind of guy. I’d do anything for anyone. So it was hard to hear the things I’ve heard and want to be involved with politically involved conversations.
So I anxiously avoid politics now. Life is too short. I’m living. ✌️
Love you all and hope you have a great week. 🙏
