Welcome back to another episode of Constellation! This week, Lockmort gets things rolling with a discussion about Online Algorithms. What are the pros and cons to the patterns we create while shopping, searching and watching content on our computers and phones? Next, Gene wants to talk about Donald Trump's guilty verdict. Now that the polarizing presidential candidate has been found guilty on all counts in his hush money case, what do we think this could mean for the United States and the world ahead of the 2024 election? Next up, David Jaffe returns to steer the conversation away from current affairs and straight towards nostalgia. Specifically, are we too quick to remember the past with rose-tinted glasses? Were the periods of time that we reflect on so fondly really that wonderful, or was it just our specific perspectives and circumstances during those years that encourage us to reminisce? And for this week's final topic, Dagan asks his cronies to remember the greatest compliments that they ever received. What are some of the nicest things that people have said to us, and which words of praise do we remember most?

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week's chat is packed to the brim with fun topics, so gather around the water cooler! Kicking off the discussion, Cog wants to commiserate about "that dude", aka that person in our lives that we just can't seem to gel with. Inevitably, we all have that one incompatible coworker, neighbor or friend of a friend that we'll probably never click with, and is it us or them? (Spoilers,, it's probably them). Weighing in next, Micah shares her most memorable quotes. What words of wisdom or kernels of enlightenment do we remember best, and how did we learn them? Was it the advice of a beloved family member, a movie quote or a character's line from a favorite book? For our third topic, Chris wants us to get serious about our favorite old school jokes. Just good, old fashioned set-up and punchline, like the classic comedy of yesteryear. Which timeless jokes do we simply never get tired of? Lastly, Dagan trolls his fellow podcasters and the Constellation audience with a topic purposely designed to be Not Safe For Work. Everybody is tasked with telling their best real-life R-rated story, and at least one tale is a hard NC-17!
