Insuphishient: Your Daily Phish Podcast Fix

I wouldn’t say Matt and Nick phoned it in for today’s episode, because that would require either of them to know the number. But I would say… this show could be better if one or both of them had planned even a tiny bit. What starts in disaster ends in disaster, which my high school guidance counselor Mrs. Miller once called “a teachable moment.” Mrs. Miller, I regret to inform you that I did not p...

Are you sick of listening to the same old stupid stuff every day? Good news. We’ve got all new stupid stuff. This is Insuphishient , the talk show you didn’t ask for but definitely need. Three times this week, Nick and Matt are here to help you waste your time and your flavor. Yes, your flavor. They’re talking about your favorite band, Phish , in ways nobody should but somebody had to. On today’s...

Finally, it’s Big Money Friday and Nick and Matt are back! Today they are not pulling any punches, mostly because Nick is literally training for his boxing match with Page. Gloves on, trash talk ready, donut shorts optional. But that’s not even the wild part. Matt has unearthed a lost Phish contract rider from ’94 that demands three things at every venue: Unlimited Fresca. A single bonsai tree nam...

Welcome to Insuphishient , the only podcast brave enough to ask: what if Phish never broke up, but the laws of physics did? Nick arrives late because he was trapped in a revolving door at an abandoned mall. Matt shows up early.  Also he claims to have discovered a secret sixth member of Phish a man known as “Greg” who plays the "skin" trombone. Today’s topics include: Whether Trey should...

Last week Nick and Matt were lost in the fourth cube of time . Monday decided it wanted to be Wednesday. Friday's episode blew away like a paper plate at a picnic. Never to be heard from again (Sorry). But this week the curtain rises again. The boys are back with three brand new shows and the spotlight is firmly on their faces. Today they get live with it. Nick drops a bomb of info on Matt an...

Welcome back to World Wide Wednesday! W here Matt and Nick dig into what’s happening online and everywhere else that matters. Also… where’s Fall Tour? What about Halloween? Are we getting any new Phish songs this year? Matt heard his sound was “a little thin” last week, so this time we went the other direction. Nick wore his least favorite Hawaiian shirt but is finally back at home, where the Wi-F...

When your Tuesday is a Monday, then your Wednesday is… today. Nick and Matt are still traveling through time, bouncing between days like a bad setlist segue. Yesterday they swore it was Monday, and for them, it was, but today they’re somehow stuck in Tuesday, and yet already talking about tomorrow. With Phish off the road, they’ve been marooned in the past, replaying old shows to fill the void. Ye...

It’s Monday for Matt and Nick, even if, for you mere mortals, it’s somehow Tuesday. The good news? Insuphishient is back. Maybe better than ever. (Probably not.) (But maybe.) We’re kicking things off with a straight-up banger from the Winston-Salem 100’s back in ’97, the kind of show that sticks to your ribs and leaves a mark. Nick’s still on vacation. Matt’s still out to lunch. And together, they...

It’s Big Money Friday , and few things are as big money as Live Phish . Today, Matt and Nick crack open a release from the legendary SPAC show of ‘95. It was hot. It was muggy. Nick was there, and if you want to know whether he liked it, you’ll have to tune in (you will be shocked). Meanwhile, Matt is attempting something called a reverse Foo-man (whatever that is), and Nick answered a call from a...

Well well… looks like World Wide Wednesday is back, baby and Nick and Matt are here for it. Apparently, you are too. Good thing. It’s been many a moon since we’ve done this, and as we adjust to life off the road, our buddy Trey is out there in California having the time of his life. And why not? Good for him. But… why does he keep playing Shine ? Just to stick it to Nick? Anyway, welcome back to I...

You know what? "Love is what we are." Or at least… what Trey played yesterday. When’s the last time Phish played that song? Answer: once. Eight years ago. Matt and Nick don’t even remember it. Nick suspects it’s made up. Matt thinks it might be a contagious. But yes,  we are bitter. Nick is bitter. Matt, once again, still can’t believe "it’s not butter." As the tour dust settle...

It’s the last Friday of July, and Insuphishient has returned to bring you what might be the ph-inest Phish show of the summer. Maybe even the century. From the moment you heard the second song, you knew it was on. Forget “Same Set Reprise”, Trey flipped the script and changed the whole damn debate. And what followed this never heard before placement of your beloved tune? A heroic, ice-cold (no fat...

We cannot type swears or the show will get restricted but feel free to add your own favorite expletives in celebration: fgadsf sgfikudhf sdjdfhh sjdf sdjfh ksjdfh! Just when you thought Night One would hold the crown, Night Two at SPAC came waltzing in like a Page rearing Crocs and whispered, “Hold my tuna sandwich.” The look of joy on the band’s faces will move you. The music will groove you. And...

Well, we’ve come to the saddest day of the summer. Phish has wrapped up their summer tour. True, there are six more shows on the books but you’ll have to wait 46 days or as we call it,  2 Gordons. But not all hope is lost. The band just finished a run at S.P.A.C. that will go down in the history books. Starting with Night one.  Trey made a promise. A promise so outrageous, so ridiculous, that the...

Ladies and gentlemen… we’ve reached that bittersweet stretch of summer where only three shows remain. Sure, a few gigs loom down south in September but let’s be real, that’s fall tour. (Sorry Halloween hopers, but we call it like we see it.) So onward we go to SPAC: A venue dripping in memory and myth. Nick’s first taste? 1995. (I think they actually played Taste) Matt’s? 2004. (they did not play...

Well, the Prince of Darkness has left this earthly plane… but Nick and Matt? Still here. Still talking Phish. What started as a coping mechanism turned into a full-blown episode of Insuphishient.  Your favorite Phish Talk Show and the only one bold enough to accidentally get distracted from grief by a particularly good second set. Did anyone say anything groundbreaking? Maybe. Was everyone in the...

3…2…1… and Matt and Nick are back! Today on Insuphishient , we’re diving headfirst into Night 2 in the Meatstick Capital of the World.  Where they sold the merch… but didn’t play the song. Bold move. For one host, it was the show of a lifetime . For the other? Just another Saturday night jam . Which was which? Place your bets now. Also By the end of the night, a few of The Line(s) had shifted,  An...

Well, well, well. A bet was made… and the (pied) piper needs to be paid. OK, not quite on today's show, but still, keep those betting slips (handy). First, we need to talk about Chicago Night One . The band came from behind to take an easy series lead with a show that somehow ended before it started… and yet covered every space between ( me (you) and my  mind) . Yesterday, you got a nibble. A...

Nick and Matt are back… Are they? Kind of. Sort of. But not really. But yes really. It’s Chicago Night One and we were supposed to have a full episode. But then Nick decided to route our audio through what he calls his “secure backup system,” which apparently is just a guy named Edgar in Uruguay with a 2006 Dell and a dial-up modem. So instead of a full show, you’re getting a Free Sample. Volume 2...

Yes yes yes... Matt and Nick are back for a very special edition of Big Money Friday . No, they’re not talking about anything financially sound. No, you won’t get the inside scoop on the next GameStop short squeeze. But yes,  you will get Mann Night Two . And yes,  the band is heading straight into a three-night Chi-Town heater . The odds? Over/under on songs from Gamehendge: (the line)  2 Harpua:...

It’s Wednesday afternoon and Matt and Nick are back!! They may or may not be hiding in a bunker, as a few symbolic shots appear to have been fired their way. Phish just played The Mann and man , did they play it. In what can only be described as a direct response to previous episodes, the band took turns shredding amazing songs and proving Matt and Nick completely wrong. We’ve got one word for you...

Hear ye, hear ye. Insuphishient has returned and today we’re talking about your favorite band.....  Phish.  It’s Night Two in Charleston and the chompers were out early, Smiles and thumbs up all around. The band? Absolutely ripping. This one had reach.  You are the egg man? No, I am the egg man. Wait... I AM the walrus. Then, Matt gives out his mother’s maiden name again. Nick reveals the last fou...

Matt and Nick are back and this time, they’re live. Like live live. And sure, Phish just played a heater of a weekend in Charleston — but even at Harvard, somebody’s gotta graduate last in the class.  That’s right, we’re starting with Night One. The sky? Blue. The moon? Spanish. The “Turtle in the Clouds”? Nowhere to be found. (Check back in 48 hours.) Matt won’t stop saying “kettle chip.” Nick’s...

Big Money Friday is back, y’all and so is your favorite Phish Talk Show that knows just enough to be dangerous.  Today on Insuphishient , Matt and Nick take strange to new elevations as they cover the Ohio show that opened with a suspiciously confident “AC/DC Bag” and closed with an “Antelope” that may or may not have looked directly at them. On today's show, Nick didn't mention the ligh...

Matt and Nick are back and they’ve got opinions. Lots of them. Colorado night 3 lit the fuse and today on Insuphishient , it’s nothing but sparks, thumbs, and questionable financial advice. The boys break down the show the only way they know how,  wildly inconsistent thumbs up, thumbs down. Nick flips mid-episode. Matt gives a double thumb sideways. No one knows what it means but everyone feels it...
