Gambling, Conspiracy Theories, Collecting, Milestone Birthdays | Constellation, Episode 15

It'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.

Micah: "I'm not going to buy the game twice just too have an unopened box" Me feeling attacked because I bought Twin Breaker and Habroxia twice so that I could have unopened boxes of each of them. Also Dustin, Colin is 100% correct that Craps is really complicated, however if you just play the field it's not as overwhelming as it seems. The first time I went to Vegas on the flight out I downloaded a craps training app and learned the basics, when I got there I found the lowest minimum table with very few people. The dealers are always super helpful, and the other players are always super nice. The most fun I have ever had gambling has been at craps tables. Also the most I ever won was on a craps table was $1000 on a $1 bet, that the dealer told me I should make. (I don't know if they still have this bet on tables anymore and can expand on what it was if anyone is curious.)

As a an ex JW as a kid( my grandmother was one in Brazil and raised me, and I went in America until I was about 15-16 just for her), I find so many of those segments so funny. It’s hard to understand unless you’re in it. It’s funny because I did enjoy some of the company there, even though it’s tenets are absolute lunacy. I know she def wouldn’t be playing Hogwarts around her mother were she a kid, lest she face the elders and the shame of the little back room in the corner lol.

Colin you’re wrong about being able to see the rover or its tracks on the moon. From a quick Google search…. “As cool as it would be to gaze up at the moon and see one of the lunar rovers, it's just not possible. Unfortunately, there is no telescope on Earth powerful enough to spot any of the objects that have been left behind. Not even the Hubble could see what's left on the moon.” We couldn’t go to the moon right now, but people seriously believe we did in 1969?! Just more lies that people desperately want to be true/believe.

Oh man the discussion on the JFK assassination makes me wish you could cover things like this more deeply. Awesome show guys!

Hello all, I just want to say that this is my favorite lineup for Constellation, I think Micah adds a much needed perspective to the conversation whenever she is on. Also my wishes for a genie would be having the ability to win the Lotto whenever needed, all the food and drink I consume would be healthy and all of the cardboard would disappear, just think of the chaos. Thanks for all you do. RJ Davis

Colin, Interstellar really is the greatest film of all time. Respect.

Ooof… Hubble has seen 13 billion light years; to the literal ‘edge’ of the Universe (check out “the surface of last scattering” - the absolute limit of visibility for any telescope). The Moon is 250k miles away (way, WAY less than a light year)… We have ultra detailed maps of the Moon’s surface… etc etc. I do agree it’s weird that we’ve never gone back though, you’d think there would be a Tesla dealership up there by now. 😉

Funny to hear Mohegan Sun in the podcast because that's my place of choice. The only bad thing about them now is that they haven't gone back to allowing smoking indoors since covid started. What the deuce! I'm allowed to gamble with my life savings but I can't break cigars with an oil tycoon at 2 in the morning? Anyway stay well.

I've never heard the Sinbad genie thing but it sounds like people were confusing him with Shaq in the movie Kazaam where Shaq played a genie

Catching up on this episode, just want to say, there should totally be a ss+ with Dustin, Matty, and anyone else just to talk about their videogame collections and how they go about collecting, what they look for. Love the topic
