Modern Dating, Things We Hate Doing, History Quiz, Favorite Smells | Constellation, Episode 21

Note: We had multiple video files corrupt during this recording. We are looking into new solutions in order to avoid this in the future. Sorry for the issues! It'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.

You guys mention how crazy it would be to have been there during the Lincoln assassination. I recently watched a YouTube video from a game show in the 1950s. They had a guest on who was 95 (born 1860) and was present that day at the Ford's Theater. They give a news excerpt recounting what he remembers. Pretty interesting stuff, and neat we have some sort of recount in the digital era

Opposites attract is for the birds... I'm not going to do that again

Gene knows all about them older woman 😆

Gene is probably getting a blowjob as you’re reading this comment straight up

It's great to hear about modern dating. Gene is totally right on how it's a job interview. Like Gene, I'm not good at texting either. Everything is surface level. Many times it feels like women go on dating apps for a dopamine rush on a weekend night but have no intention to meet up. The dating apps seem like they really don't want to match you up with another person since keeping you on there means more money for them.

i love micah's topics everytime XD

I don't believe gene is pussy slayer 3000. I find his musing weird and cringe.

Some reason didn’t get a email for this.

Gene Park

i’d feel the same way too if i was jealous. nah jk i know how it sounds

Gene Park

your last point is so on. it’s just incentivizing you to always come back. nah man i’m done.

Dylan Michael

Great topic from Gene! Im late 20s so I have minimal non-dating app experience. Shit sucks. Also the Tetris movie story has officially made Gene the goat of LSM. Classic 😂

Cash

That picture of Dagan is legendary

Tristen Wilbers

I also didn't get any emails or Patreon notifications from the posts today. Literally saw it was out from the LSM subreddit.

Quiz was awesome. As someone who loves American history, I didn't respectably but not as good as I should have.

Micah might be able yo try the "Kippo" app, it's meant for gamers and many people on there seem to be just looking for friends

Gene Park

wow it’s mostly been dating apps for you? that’s wild man. but i get it. it’s convenient sometimes

Dylan Michael

Yeah. I had a few girlfriends from different jobs I had but it never proved to be a good idea in the long run lol.

Peter Thompson

It would be awesome if Colin and Gene did a constellation+ episode where Gene just talks about his life story from start to finish. I'm fascinated by him

Brent

We all know Gene’s real favorite smell is pussy.

I was lucky enough set up an interview with a WWII Ace Pilot last year, which was also the same year he turned 100. The conversation was 3 hours long and an absolute honor. This man saw the flash from the first atomic bomb and his takeaway was that the stories of war should be told so that it can be avoided. There are just a handful of these humans left to hear from sadly and I'm glad you called it out, Colin!

Time for someone to bring a quiz as a topic that Colin isnt the expert on 😎 Animated movies, Dagan?

wait gene replied “id feel the same if i was jealous” after he said he broke up with a girl after he realized he didnt die of cancer. after he said he made girls leave at 9pm because he was hungry. gene. i was pulling for you.

As im listening to the religion part im like “I bet Micah was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses” and BOOM. I can spot one of my own from a mile away lol

Bogey Zero

Is there anyway you guys can add time stamps for the different topics? Would that be too much trouble? There are certain topics that I know my wife would love to listen to but it’s hard to find them among the three to four hours.

Its so sad ha ha, the only reason I knew Grover Cleveland was from a random Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode. The founding fathers would be turning in their graves knowing my knowledge of American history comes from cartoons with talking milkshakes and meatballs. Great episode, Gene you're killing it.

Small talk is the bane of my existence.

So I've actually been looking for some new low key cologne scents and um... For whatever reason Stetson doesn't work for me. Turns out Micah's Granddad smells like my 4th grade trumpet teacher. That smell is intricately intertwined with the smell of the valve oil from brass instruments for me to this day.... It's so strange how smell is so connected to memory...

Mike D

Wow, I was actually unloading the dishwasher listening to this when Dagans topic came up. That's my answer too. However the part I hate the most is unloading the cutlery one by one into the drawer, though I have found if I open the drawer and just pour it all in at once, the next time I come back to the cutlery drawer it has somehow magically sorted itself out.

You know what is worse than small talk? Small talk about other people. Can't stand when people ask me how my mother or sister is doing, I don't know, I don't live with them anymore.

Kevin Cooper

PSA: As a person in a relationship for 15+ years... don't ever tell your partner that "you are not going to be my priority for two weeks, and you just have to be cool with it." Video games are dope and I love them, too... but that's just not that way you talk to another human being who has decided to spend their life with you. It is possible to have a conversation with your partner about the games you're looking forward to, so maybe Gene was just being flippant and would have worded that better in retrospect.

Aaron Barnes

PMSL after listening to Micah telling us to put our air on full in the car and stick our tongue out and dry it out and put it back in our mouth, to do that at a set of traffic lights and look up at a truck driver next to me looking on horrified 🤣the best instant reaction I've ever had, thanks Micah. Day/week/month/year made

Glen Yelenovic

I for one love the quizzes. I would love an audio quiz. Maybe classic video game music. Someone else needs to be the quiz master next and put Collin in the hot seat

Glen Yelenovic

Yeah, you just need to realize that sleep is not that important and plan late at night
