Ants Podcast 69 - Night Zero Gathers, And Now The Party Begins - Episode Discussion

[Matt]

Tour Time is Here! It’s the final podcast prior to the start of the tour, or at least the Ants Night Zero party and the excitement level is at a ten. The boys dive into the final tour expectations and theories, give a rundown of the setlist game (give it a try!), recap the upcoming activities around Charlottesville, and release a great new feature on the DMB Hub app, Personal Stats! We bring back Joe M's DMB Vote Song Series with a seasonal song, and we rip through our greatest number of questions yet.

I'm just gonna put this here:

Blue Water Baboon Fart

Before I go any further...YESSSSS!!! Story time with Grandpa Jake is official.

I vote that a custom "Story Time with Grandpa Jake" afghan gets added to the store.

[TheLastPig]

need to add (nice) next to 69

[BruceW]

You guys should do a 20 Years of Crash podcast or segment within one of the next few podcasts. Especially if the band's management decides to release anything related to said anniversary.

1. Story Time with Grandpa Jake definitely needs an outro.
2. I think the Jeff Instagram relates to lesser played BW songs. Those would be "old songs" that he would have learned and played in heavy rotation but not played recently. ie Alligator Pie, Baby Blue, and Dive In.
3. Maybe it's there and I'm just missing it but, if not, can we add the 'what you need' feature to the website tour stats for those of us pathetic Android users? Also what do the rarity index numbers mean? Is that explained somewhere? Maybe it makes sense if you understand statistics but I don't math well.

Bring us to the party! Let's get a chickapig periscope people - like you did prior to the gorge starting, nothing formal just tinkerings and tonkerings and maybe a few introductions.

Rarity index is the percentage of shows the song has been played at since its debut

OK that makes so much sense now. I couldn't figure out why something that seemed like it would be rare had a low percentage and things that seemed less rare had a high percentage. I was thinking that the rarity index would correlate to a rarity percentage. Like Ants would be 1 percent and People People would be 100 percent rare.

Thanks. That was making my brain hurt.

[BruceW]

Yea Shake Me is like 47%. That's both sad and absurd.

[BruceW]

Matt, where is the Granny from that you used in this episode?

This one is for Joe. Charlottesville included on the 2016 Summer Tour shirt. Even though their social media accounts continue to say it begins in Wichita.

Hilarious.
