Constellation, Episode 102 | Things We’re NOT Afraid Of, Best Friends, Online Rage Bait
🕑 Added 2024-12-16 17:00:16 +0000 UTCWell would you look at that? It’s time for another episode of Constellation, you lucky devil! In honor of Friday the 13th, the Dagster gets things started with some conversing about the things we’re definitely not afraid of. Which common fears don’t bother us in the least? Next, our good buddy Gene Park leads the gang in paying some well deserved lip service to our best friends. From our closest childhood pals to the besties who still rank high in our hearts as adults, who are the favorite past and present peas in or pods? Finally, Micah engages the crew in a thoughtful discussion about online rage bait. From the content creators clearly inviting the outrage to the audience reacting with expected levels of vitriol, the gang explores this controversial strategy of social media engagement in an effort to understand the insanity. And that’s that. We didn’t talk about the drones. We won’t give them the satisfaction, accursed robotic overlords!

Loved the conversation about fan interactions and rage bait. I’ve interacted with Dagan, Micah, and Gene at various times and it’s always a pleasure. Thank you for all you guys do!

"I find out one of my boys just had se- a conversation with [Ben Swartz]" :D

I used to give Gene a pass, but after his rant, basically doubling down on being a douche bag, I'll skip anything with him and Jaffe now. They're both annoying.
Mike Held
I'm the guy that called Gene out for repeatedly talking about how much money he makes and how many women he sleeps with. And I stand by it. Gene has this need to talk about these things, and it's incredibly douchey. It will never not be douchey. You're a braggart, Gene.
Mike Held
Gene, I didn't know my comment about you talking about money would get to you so much. Had I known, I wouldn't have said anything. I didn't realize the comment would live rent free in your head, to the point where you needed to go on a 10 minute diatribe about it. At least give me a shout out next time you talk about me on air!

Great episode. As one of the people that rarely says anything because I'm perfectly satisfied with the content, this episode made me think I should speak up more. So Dagan, Chris is a great fill-in host but I get bummed when he's hosting because it means you're gone that week and I miss you. I also miss Knockback and hope it returns someday. Gene, always glad to hear you on an episode and to hear your stories. Micah, I don't remember anything specific to address from this episode, but you're great too!

I loved this episode btw.

I was afraid to walk upstairs to my room from age 4-6ish and I remember that feeling so well. It was dark and the hall closet was right at the top of the staircase and the door design kinda looked like a mean face. Especially in the dark. Shit used to freeze me in my steps the second I saw it.
Gene Park
i mean colin belongs in that group too!!!’ lol all these problematic friends. but they’re all interesting
Trill Spencer
Dagan mentioned going into the office in NY. I thought his new job was in Philly?

Saying blowjobs in 2nd grade is wild. 😄
Barry Cahill
With friends like Gene has; this crazy Karen chick and Taylor Lorenz; who needs enemies xD
Lou & Rei Loper
This is a great comment, quite balanced. 👍

Gene's "y'know" per sentence is roughly 1.2. I calculated it myself :^)
Lou & Rei Loper
I don't autoskip them, but I do understand that

Gene is seriously underpaid. Also people hate on him because he has had an interesting and fulfilling life. That’s gonna make people insecure and in turn they lash out. This is the internet. I disagree with Gene on many levels and I find some of what he has expressed about his outlook on life impossible to relate to but it’s always good to hear a new perspective. Especially when it is consistently well reasoned. Gene adds a different flavor to LSM and I think it’s been a great addition.

Unfortunately for me any episode involving Gene is an instant skip, I respect others that don’t feel this way, maybe it’s a me problem.
Gene Park
sage advice. wait oops i shouldn’t be here lol thanks man

I think I might be really negative towards some people and leave a snide comment now and again but in my favor I use my real name, a picture of myself and no anime girl pfp. I’m at least not hiding behind anonymity. Can’t run for president but oh well.
EarthboundNuess
Gene, do yourself a favor and just stop reading comments. You don’t need the nonsense in your head. I feel bad that Micah has to read all of the comments, but you don’t have to!

The Devmeister
Was Micah calling it Minestrone to troll us 😂
pudge
Damn I can’t believe Gene has 17 DUIs and they still let him walk free
The Devmeister
Tell us how you really feel Gene, don’t hold back 😂 I’m dying hahahaha. I love it.

🤣 I love how the last topic just became 20 minutes of shitting on us.
Dreamed about Ronald McDonald with a bowl cut frowning in black and white, woke up cackling
Let’s just say Karen is now on my list of things I’m afraid of lol. Anyway, great episode. As always, your thoughts on social media and the psychology of it all are incredibly insightful. And thanks, I’m always trying to keep Chris on his toes for the Snark Tank credits read.

I’m shook to hear gene only just started making 100k a year. That’s crazy considering his reputation and location

Gene, all your Karen stories make me think you may be a bit of a masochist. LMAO
