Constellation, Episode 73 | Family Resemblances, Playoff Sports Passions, Loyalty Programs, The Coolest Brand Names
Added 2024-05-27 16:00:19 +0000 UTCWelcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast!
This week's panel offers up a thought-provoking batch of topics for discussion.
Micah has been thinking about family resemblances, and she'd like the rest of the gang to share their thoughts and experiences on the topic.Which of our family members do we look like most, and which physical characteristics are we grateful for inheriting? On the other hand, which cherished genetic attributes do we feel we missed out on, and how did our children fare in the resemblance department? Next, Ben wants to talk about loyalty programs. Are we inclined to take advantage of the common corporate promise of saving money in exchange for being faithful to a specific brand or retail outfit? In our experiences, which companies offer the best monetary incentives for shopping with them, and which don't inspire much loyalty at the end of the day. Batting third, Matty shares his deep passion for post-season sports. Are we crazed and rabid fans during the playoffs, especially when our favorite teams are in the mix? How do we handle the emotional roller coaster of winning and losing with the cities and the teams that we love the most? Finally, Dagan wants to share his obsession with awesome brand names. Do we recognize when a product, company or brand has an amazing moniker? What about next level game, book and movie titles? Simply put, which stuff has the coolest and most creative names?

“Putting a pin in it” is a reference to putting something off until later but not forgetting it. The etymology comes from pinning a note in a cork board so that it’s on the to do chart.

2024-06-29 20:29:04 +0000 UTCAs a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I have enjoyed the NHL playoffs more this year than previous years when they actually made the playoffs. Just watching some good hockey games without any anxiety for my team winning/losing

2024-06-05 15:26:07 +0000 UTCCowboys and Mets fan ehh. Interesting combo. You see a bunch of Cowboys fans in NY but they are normally Yankee fans too.

2024-06-05 15:21:41 +0000 UTCBy Daegan’s logic of his brother in law being attracted to him since he looks like his sister, and if Daegan’s kids look like his wife, whom Daegan is attracted to…

2024-06-02 19:27:25 +0000 UTCTop Playoff moments for me 1: Mets Vs Yankees Subway WS 2: The Beltran strikeout 3: Tony Romo FG fumble 4: Daniel Murphys 2015 October 5: Dez Bryant dropped pass vs Packers 6: Dak during every playoff game I live in heartbreak.😭

2024-06-02 18:25:57 +0000 UTCGood song names from I Hate Myself: This Isn’t the Tenka-Ichi-Budokai, Secret Lovers At the Heaven’s Gate Ranch and Caught in a Flood With the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad

2024-05-30 14:45:02 +0000 UTCAs a Yankee fan, I’ve also been to Fenway twice and don’t really need to ever go again. Being heckled the entire time regardless of what’s going on kind of ruins the entire experience no matter what.

2024-05-30 04:43:24 +0000 UTCBesides the gas and grocery loyalty programs I share with family, the two I use most is for Regal Cinemas and Choice Hotels. Regal besides the regular rewards offers half off popcorn on Tue for members. That plus Tue discount ticket prices has got my but in a theater seat a lot in recent years. Choice Hotels is because I've been doing a lot of travel, and it behooves me to earn some points for free rooms.

2024-05-29 16:09:23 +0000 UTCReferring to the potentially cute babies of ugly parents as “bangers” is certainly a choice.

2024-05-28 18:35:47 +0000 UTCMy grandpa on my moms side lost his hair young. I think age 20… but my brother and I are in our 30s and we both have super think long hair. I’m keeping it long in case it ever starts to go so and I have to start shaving it one day. At least I can say I had it one day.

2024-05-28 13:53:43 +0000 UTCthe fact colin wasn't on this with the sports topic is absolutely insane

2024-05-28 13:46:05 +0000 UTC2nd Constellation in a row without Colin. So bummed.

2024-05-28 12:04:38 +0000 UTCIt was brief but happened at 5:25
Luke Douglas
2024-05-28 08:44:15 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm crazy but did Matty get introduced? I'm only like 15 minutes and that didn't happen yet. It was just confusing at first being an audio listener. The intros really help for audio-only

2024-05-28 04:52:34 +0000 UTCTying off the extra finger to cut off blood circulation, letting it die and fall off is a perfectly acceptable way to remove them. That’s how we do lamb marking on the farm. Works just fine 😎

2024-05-28 01:31:17 +0000 UTCHe Is Legend! You kept up on em?
Colin Moriarty
2024-05-28 01:23:47 +0000 UTCHilarious how one topic is about playoff sports and the thumbnail is the Colorado Rockies ballpark?! 😂

2024-05-28 00:51:41 +0000 UTCThis is a record. Is it five or four episodes in a row with Micah as a guest as well.

Jordan Falduto
2024-05-27 21:14:19 +0000 UTCIt is absolutely criminal that Colin was not part of this (hockey) playoff conversation.
