Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

The current extreme heat may or may not be a result of DMB's recent run of form. It’s been a month of shows and news and we're here to recap all the highlights and do some deeper examination, from Camden, the Northeast, Deer Creek, Alpine and SPAC and everything in between. There have been over 20 new tour debuts, including a song last played in 2012. Plus we get a new behind the scenes glimpse into a tool Dave uses for selecting songs for each show, ie the "Yellow and Red Songs". We explain and break it down.

Alright, it's time. How the hell do I listen to this monstrosity? Plz link it as I'm on my Samsung and don't want to download shit.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

probably can find it on Spotify or in google play music

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

I have a Samsung and use Podcast Addict. Very easy to use.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Thanks. Will listen now.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

That was really cool. Listened to the whole damn thing. Gotta give it to y'all for going balls deep there. It was fun to listen to you geek out but be super informative. Way to lay it out there.

Will listen to the next one.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

You know they have 104 other podcasts? Since you enjoyed this one I mean...they're all great honestly

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

This was a really fun one. Joe did a lot of prep work to dig into the Red/Yellow song sheet. Definitely worth a listen.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

As a previous critic of the podcast I must say I was really impressed with this one. (even tho Joe voted for SPAC over Alpine lol) Seems like the guys actually came at it with a fresh outlook this time and enjoyed the segment on the colored song list, the 59% thing was crazy.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Appreciate you giving another listen even after being critical in the past. 105 episodes in, it's hard to believe we're still struggling to keep episodes under 80 minutes or so, as there is just so much to talk about and so many layers to peel.

I'm also OK with taking the heat for some of the more poignant opinions shared. I feel like there are so many valid points, both encouraging and critical, and I'm fine with being bold about them even if some don't agree or don't enjoy hearing them.

And yeah - the 50% thing was astonishing to see in raw numbers. Definitely gives hard data support to the theory about the yellow songs.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

And with Last Stop supposed to have been played last night, that is one more red song off the list. The color coded segment was awesome. Good to see a more positive attitude Matt... always welcomed :)

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Matt is the epitome of SPAC fanboys. Also the 'when I like a song, I'm right and it's good and when I don't like it it's an awful song and the band sucks for playing it'. Corner of grey street is quite refreshing.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

So true! That explains his zero visits to SPAC since 2010.

Criticize me all you want. If you wanna start to play the tribal podcast game, I’ll bounce your ass faster than you can click the red X.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

And my constant ball breaking of the Two Step chants. Gotta love the hit and run clowns.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

so did that dude just get banned for expressing his opinion? :lol

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Did I say that? Literally read my words. Jesus.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

hit a nerve?

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

I’m too old to suffer fools looking for message board / podcast wars. Grow up.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

definitely hit a nerve

sorry you're having a bad day

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Back on topic, folks.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

I haven't listened to the pod so I don't know your full opinion on chants, but I hate 'em. Chants are why we didn't get Last Stop at the AC Caravan N3 and got Halloween instead. Tsk tsk tsk.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

You should listen to some, then. Because I skewer them every year :D

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

JTR chant got us JTR in the rain at Dallas. Probably a top-10 all time moment for me.


Thank You chants at Alpine, even (especially) if they work... vary dumb.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Now scale out to having JTR chants at every Dallas show, every year, all show long, from now on. That’s pretty much (was?) the situation at SPAC for quite a while.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Yea, I'd turn on that pretty quick. Like, next year. :lol

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Hahah, I meant this particular pod. But duly noted. ;)

Ants and Chapo keep my commute sane.

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Eh Thank You taking You & Me's spot at Alpine 2015 isn't the worst thing tho...

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

To be fair, don't you think it's reasonable for an artist to acquiesce to a request when half the crowd is chanting for it? Not Dave...

Re: Ants Podcast 105: So Hot You Could Fry An Egg
 

Joe reminds me of the IT from The Office TV show. He's been in a lot of shows since then, cant remember his name. I didn't like the lack of Colorado love but it seems like it's a far journey for you all and honestly, dont come here. Keeps the prices cheaper. Really enjoyed Matts style.
