Constellation, Episode 48 | Ozempic, Aging Out, Early 2024 Election Thoughts, Our Names
Added 2023-12-04 17:00:08 +0000 UTCIt's time for Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Punching Up co-host Gene Park and legendary games designer David Jaffe. Our topics are many-varied on this lengthy episode, and we begin with Jaffe, who has recently started taking the mega-popular medicine Ozempic. Like many others on the drug, he likes what he's seeing so far and wants to tell the tale. From there, we go to the idea of aging out of interests, spurred on by Gene's lapse in both listening to and playing music as a hobby. Meanwhile, Dagan's curious about our first names: What we think about them, our experiences with them in life, and perhaps even some names we wish we wielded instead. Finally, Colin checks-in with the cast for their early 2024 US election thoughts. As the field takes shape, which candidates are most appealing so far?
Comments
I don't agree with Jaffe on everything but Thank god he was on this episode. I was genuinely shocked how primitive everyone else's election takes were. No offense but...it really seemed like everyone else's takes were literally based off memes on their social media feeds. Still trying to wrap my head around Colin being a "traditional conservative" then calling a potential Trump Ramaswamy ticket "interesting". The guy literally said he wants to terminate the Constitution. ballooned the national debt. and openly talks about imposing martial law. Even if he can't do all of that day 1...thats not relevant to you supporting those views. Colin is constantly saying we should "all be kinder" but is considering voting for a guy who literally quotes Mein Kampf on immigrants lmao. Someone make it make sense. The modern political climate has basically turned some of you into straight up anarchists. "We all live in the china shop" -ty Jaffe. I'm not a liberal nor a democrat...this convo was legit just sad. I guess I expected more sophisticated takes because I respect ya'll so much.

2024-01-07 20:00:22 +0000 UTCJaffey talking about politics is such a effort to me, the man is so full of the leftist fabricated bs, it hurts, he repeats the same crap mark hammil and all the other crap repeaters says it is annoying, and the way he pushes people around with his speech only shows how hollow and shallow his arguments are, trying to disqualify what is happening in the US, treating it like he really knows things and wanting to make everything looks stupid just shows his lack of knowledge. We call that kind of person a pirate’s parrot, he is pathetic. Great respect to him as a developer but besides that, none…

2023-12-30 22:12:38 +0000 UTCGene im glad you something about how music has just stopped being a big part of your life when it used to such a big part. I feel weird about it too. Like why don’t I even care to listen to my old favorites. People can play the songs for me and I love it. But I never go out of way to listen much anymore. Scores of movies and video games I still listen to though lol

2023-12-21 08:47:18 +0000 UTCIn regard to the ozempic weight topic, I don’t necessarily think people should be concerned about the number on the scale as much as body composition. If you are 190 with 12 percent body fat, that’s pretty good. Some people loose water weight and muscle which isn’t good, and can accelerate aging.

2023-12-19 20:00:59 +0000 UTCJaffe, you should look into doing a parasite protocol. My wife and I did 4 months of it - really cleaned us out

2023-12-07 14:32:22 +0000 UTCYeah you are right. Let’s bring on a nazi for a more balanced discussion
Ryan
2023-12-07 14:28:45 +0000 UTCIt's exhausting reading people operate under the pretense of good-faith then toss in an "insulting-adjective-not-my-party" that tribalizes the discussion. The unreasonable left. The hysterical right. It's so transparent and insufferable.

2023-12-07 13:18:13 +0000 UTCColin, if you're going to have a discussion on politics it would help to have a more diverse range of opinions. I don't think you have anyone in LSM sympathetic to Trump or his situation to help balance the general perspective. Dagan, Gene, and Jaffey agree on 90% of this issue. If I told you a journalist, an artist, and a TDS game developer would talk about the next election we'd all know how that conversation would've gone before it started. You might as well holler into an empty hallway and listen to the echo. This isn't (just) a dig on Jaffey either. He's a known quantity; I just don't think you realize you represent the independent here. If you treated yourself as the control group, kept Jaffey on, and brought on a more right leaning guest to round out the conversation this would've been far more productive IMO... for whatever that's worth to you.

2023-12-07 12:36:17 +0000 UTCWhilst lazy may not be genetic, food habits are part learned, part genetics and part social-econmic. We're not all on an even playing field.
Michael Robinson
2023-12-07 10:03:01 +0000 UTCWatching a video from CBS right now talking about food makers like General Mills, Hershey, and Nestle that are R&Ding companion products for ozempic users. Crazy

2023-12-06 19:19:07 +0000 UTCDidn’t RFK Jr say that chemicals in the water supply are turning kids gay? Lol. Do people that carry water for him just ignore the insane shit he’s said or do they also believe that garbage?

2023-12-06 19:15:16 +0000 UTCGreat discussion. The bickering in the comments here is, rather extreme. The name calling and vitriol is just crazy. I love that Jaffe pushes for the explanation. That’s why discussions like this are so important. That way ideas on both sides can be challenged in the open. Ideals founded on faulty logic and information are best exposed when openly discussed. That’s sort of the point talking things out, no?
Noah Trujillo
2023-12-06 17:35:49 +0000 UTCDid Jaffe say that laziness is a byproduct of genetics? That take in and of itself is LAZY! Laziness is a learned behavior, as is discipline. Eating healthy sucks. It’s not fun. It’s not supposed to be. Still gotta do it though. To attribute laziness to genetics is wild though. Also, as a health care professional, there was a lot of wrong information being spouted. A stark reminder of the uphill battle we face in terms of patient education. Everyone wants to quote Dr. Google instead. SMH.

2023-12-06 17:08:55 +0000 UTCI love the *DING when Colin says RFK is the real best choice lol hell yeah RFK!

2023-12-06 15:55:03 +0000 UTCI don’t know much of anything, but I’m not sure OMAD is the way. Idk, anybody else here on that diet have experience with it? I’ve never been exposed to it besides Colin’s tales on the show. It seems to me that absolutely engorging yourself, once a day or not, is not good for anyone. Maintaining weight takes real discipline up to a certain point, and engorging doesn’t sound disciplined. Anyone else?

2023-12-06 13:05:20 +0000 UTCHis reputation is that he’s a crazy right wing reactionary that pals around with other crazy right wing reactionaries. It’s 100 percent deserved.
Ryan
2023-12-06 12:58:06 +0000 UTCAmerica the backwards country, where abortion is banned, people still wanna vote trump after the January 6th debacle, and find me votes to name just 2 of the 91 indictments. I agree with Dagan, if you have no really good political candidates then just refrain from voting. Why vote for anyone you don't agree with
Zack Fair
2023-12-06 08:36:01 +0000 UTCOregon reminds me of Colin Moriarty. The reality of living in the state is totally divorced from its reputation online and in the news. I’ve only lived in Portland a couple of years, but it is so much calmer and safer than any city in any state I’ve lived in before it. Just completely insane how outrageous its reputation is.

2023-12-06 01:14:54 +0000 UTCYou are just a reactionary. No matter how much we baby you you are going to do horrible things

2023-12-05 21:20:40 +0000 UTCWasn’t gonna vote, but jaffe’s ignorance convinced me to vote Trump. Thanks, bud
Brandon V
2023-12-05 20:04:07 +0000 UTCLove having Jaffe on this podcast. We disagree on plenty, but it’s discussions like these that keep me based and reminds me that at the end of the day he’s a fellow American and we both love and want wants best for our country. I don’t want to vote for Trump. I would just argue that when our intelligence community is lying to the commander in chief about troop numbers left in a country he wanted to pull out of the coup d’etat has already taken place. He had the best foreign policy of my lifetime. Either way, let’s vote how we’re gonna vote and love each other as countrymen.
David Collin Copeland
2023-12-05 19:40:57 +0000 UTCWith regard to the Star Wars discussion, I would implore anyone listening to experience Visions S01E01, Ronin, and to leave it there.
ConorJTobin
2023-12-05 18:33:52 +0000 UTCGreat episode I had to comment the fact that every topic goes back to Star wars. Every topic was excellent. Thank you fellas we need more of this combination.

Ryan
2023-12-05 03:21:02 +0000 UTCI’m T2 diabetic and tried Ozempic, and it sucked for me. I would get horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea, so I wouldn’t eat. Once that feeling subsided, I would binge eat from not eating. It was awful.
Brandon Garvin
2023-12-05 01:04:31 +0000 UTCThe political part was probably the most painful listen of anything I've listened to on Last Stand. Really thankful Jaffe was there to bring up a lot of good points. I don't agree with Jaffe on much, but he had some great arguments. Also, would have liked to hear more from Dagan. I used to be republican before Trump and even went to the red state convention before the 2016 election where all the republican candidates gave speeches. Trump was supposed to be there but got disinvited after he made the blood coming from everywhere comment about Megyn Kelley. However, after Trump I won't vote for another republican again until all the people that enabled him are gone. The only people I would entertain from that party are the likes of Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger. Frankly I wish we would actually get good candidates, but until tribal politics goes away thats never going to happen. So instead we'll always be given two terrible options who would be better suited for a retirement home.

Michael Thew
2023-12-04 21:05:13 +0000 UTCLook into intermittent fasting. That alone would help you lose weight. In a month you will lose 3-5 pounds, then if you change your diet, you will drop more. Then start moving and exercising. I went for walks to begin with, 15 minutes, then 30, then 45, then an an hour. I got a stationary bike and started using that while gaming too, great combo. Now I started doing strength training. Personally it's worked for me and I intermittent fast everyday now. All together I've lost 80 pounds over a course of 2 years. If you're determined, you can do it just don't get discouraged if your weight goes up a bit. It's all about being disciplined. You can do it!

2023-12-04 18:51:45 +0000 UTCI like Mando S1 and 2, I adore Rogue One and Andor, but otherwise I’m done I think. It shouldn’t be hard to like something. But the bright side, it has made me expand my horizons to new sci-fi like Jaffe said that I hadn’t seen/read and I now love.

StewDog
2023-12-04 18:34:28 +0000 UTCI have struggled with my weight since I was about 9. I’m now 30 years old and weigh around 260 and I’m 5ft 11in. I constantly think about food or my next meal and it’s exhausting. I’ve never really had success with losing weight. The most I lost was after a breakup and I had no appetite for a few weeks. I’m now happily married though and am really trying to consciously make better choices. It’s so difficult! Anyone else out there in the community struggling with this, good luck!
king_ryan_james
2023-12-04 18:17:15 +0000 UTCJaffe has the only reasonable political take. What a dumbass you have to be to say you would vote for Trump over Biden. You have to be a fucking moron. Colin is just an apologist for the right. He only says center for image reasons because he can't defend half the shit the right does. Cowardly.
Kate
