InsuPHISHient: Recent Episodes

InsuPHISHient

Two work buddies that found out they are both obsessed with the best band ever, PHISH! The Band will be a big part of the Pod but we will also be talking about the fans, the bloggers, the meme'rs and so much more. Everybody and anybody covering the band, in anyway, shape or form, over the last 30 years has come up short. They have been insufficient.

Matt and Nick break down Phish’s newly announced fall tour before reviewing the second night at Fenway Park, including the setlist, the strongest jams, the crowd, and the sharp contrast between the two sets.

They also offer thoughtful commentary on the band’s performance and explain why the first set worked so much better than the second.

They did not do this thoughtfully.

Along the way, they discuss Charles Dickens, forgotten microphones, Shakedown Street, a possible Phish swinger community, and several facts that were almost certainly incorrect.

It was a serious review of an uneven show.

It was not serious.

Well, your favorite Phish podcast is back. Yes, we mean Insuphishient! And not a moment too soon.

Phish is in Phenway, and we have everything you need to survive. Where to park. What gate to use. The best sausage stand.

Wait...

No, we don’t know any of that.

But if you want a thoughtful breakdown of the last two shows, we don’t have that either.

We did talk for a long time, though!

It’s the last show of summer tour!

LET(s) GO!!

I know it's that time of year when everyone loses track of what day it is... but now you've got me wondering:

What year is it?

As Phish wraps up its historic run at MSG, Matt and Nick are, as usual, a day late and a dollar short.

This episode starts in 1993 and somehow ends in 1994. We're not entirely sure how we got there, but neither are our hosts.

Which raises an interesting question: Do you really want to go back to the '90s?

Sure, it may have been peak civilization. But there's something to be said for tomorrow always being better than yesterday.

Ciao.

If Whitney was alive today:

If Phish should stay
We'd be there anyway
'Cause every jam we hear
Pulls us back each year

We'll think of Gamehendge
Each time the lights go low
And we'll remember
Every note we know

(bomm)

AND I....... We'll always jam with Phish you
And I..... We'll always jam with Phish you

Standing outside MSG (You can hear Huey Lewis in the background.)

The power of Phish is a curious thing
Makes Fishman tick, makes the KoA sing
Makes every fan surrender to flow (bliss)
More than a band, that’s the power of Phish

They didn’t choose money, they didn’t choose fame
Nick charged all the tickets in ’95, the bill was insane
No ice-cold fatties or miserable people in sight
Just Trey on the stage trying to save your life

That’s the power of Phish

Let’s face it. Matt and Nick are not exactly the most reliable podcast crew. But they are pretty amazing when they actually show up.

While Phish is out on the road, and some might even say CRUSHING it in the South, Nick and Matt are on vacation because it’s JULY.

But fear not. They’ll be back Tuesday.

Until then, here’s a slightly dated episode to give you your Phish fix and carry you through the weekend.

Enjoy!

Night Two was an absolute rager, and we'll break that one down next week. But today is Sunday, and there's one rule every Phish fan knows. If it's Deer Creek, it's even more true.

NEVER MISS A SUNDAY SHOW.

Today, Nick and Matt break down the first night in Indiana, the biggest jams, the standout moments, the songs that hit, the ones that didn't, and whether this weekend deserves a place in Phish tour lore (It might).

Plus the return of completely reasonable arguments, completely reasonable opinions, and a look ahead at what's coming next.

Let(s) GO!!!! (Surender to the flow??)

Night 2 comes to a close like an old man lowering himself into a hot bath. Matt and Nick are here to give you the play by play because you need it to live.

So, (With the timezone changing the clocks and some new compression socks and maybe some jolt cola in the stock (room)) we just might be at the start of something here.

It's Called a cold open for a reason people!

As you get ready for. Deer Creek, throw this on and clap a long to the hip sounds of these two (idiots) talk.

Summer Tour is back, Phish is back and somehow Mike's back is making things a little too hot for an indoor show.

Night One in Madison opened with CDT (patient pending), immediately went Type Dose (wait why have I never heard anyone use that descriptor before? Dose, get it??). This gave Nick and Matt just enough hope to begin overanalyzing every decision the band made for the next two sets.

Was it the greatest tour opener ever?

Did everybody sound good and find themselves quickly?

Did you get a poster? What's with the "poster" people? Can one of you call into the show?

Nick. Matt. Summer. Tour. Phish.

Let(s) GO! Wait Let Go? yes.......

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a minute, huh?

Well, Matt and Nick are back, and they’re bringing Summer Tour with them.

Today, July 7, is the start of something new. Something beautiful. Something magical. Of course, we are talking about Nick’s no shower, pink sunglasses look.

Also this evening, your favorite band (and ours) is back with more “pre-scripted setlists” for everyone to enjoy. (Oh wait. That was Vegas)

In all honesty, Matt looks great in the car, even if his mic sounds like it was purchased at a gas station.

Nick. Matt. Summer. Phish.

We are excited.

It’s like ’95 all over again, except with more Botox.

It must be ten Days since we warned you
Matt brought a list (of songs you should not chase) and Nick brought heck(les)
Someone heard what the notes said
You knew then what would happen next?

You were listening to Phish in the (Ticketmaster) waiting room
Dreaming of a drive up to Stowe (maybe the Trapp Family Lodge in the Mountains)
Could be a show from a resort of Elitist Phans in Mexico
This Update, where should it go?

On today’s Insuphishient, Nick proposes a Phish museum in a location still unknown to cartographers, while Matt bravely defends Burlington from a man wearing what appears to be haunted wallpaper. A nearby bag of Tube Sand files for royalties, Paige’s sleeves issue no comment, and somewhere in Maine, Fishman is believed to be composing inside a tree.

The Syracuse discussion begins normally, which is how everyone knows something has gone wrong. Drowned remains missing. Frankenstein suffers a mechanical failure. Walfredo people are asked to remain calm.

Next time on Insuphishient:

Nick buys Nectar’s and moves it.

Matt finds out the shirt is listening.

And Trey’s pants get their own segment.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Insuphishient, the only podcast brave enough to ask, “What if two men with access to microphones used that power almost smartly ?”

Big news tonight. Trey Anastasio’s acoustic tour is officially underway, which means across America, theaters are filling up with emotionally available Phish fans pretending they are there for “the arrangements” and not to stare lovingly at a wooden chair and whisper, “This is art.”

Meanwhile, back here in the laboratory, Matt has brought facts, Nick has brought confidence, and together they have created the kind of episode normally only heard by people who fall asleep wearing cargo shorts in a Subaru.

Tonight’s show has everything. Opinions. Questions. Wild certainty about things no one can prove. The kind of energy that says, “We did not prepare, but we did arrive.” Somewhere in the distance, a setlist is being judged. Somewhere closer, a grown man is overexplaining a jam as if he has been called to testify before Congress.

And let me say this. Trey is out there on an acoustic tour, stripping it all down, baring his soul, giving the people intimacy, vulnerability, and craft. And here, in beautiful contrast, Matt and Nick are doing whatever this is.

So tune in. Settle down. Lower your expectations just enough to enjoy yourself.

This is (Insuphishient.)

The scene is:

Nick is in NYC for the Mike D show. But in his headphones he hears:

Phish! - All we really want is - Phish - And in the morning it’s - Phish - And in the evening it’s - Phish

The voice over:

"Good evening. This is Insuphishient.

Tonight, a nation turns its lonely ears to Matt and Nick, two men standing at the crossroads of public service and "public service"."

The headlines:

Deep Voice Trey remains under investigation.

CUT!

And also:

And at Walnut Creek, rain fell, Stash slayed, Foam got beatboxed, and Ghost was once again treated with the suspicion normally reserved for unmarked vans and room temperature shrimp.

Matt is Matt.
Nick is Nick.
The facts are Doing it LIVE.
and The Phish remains undefeated.

And that’s the way it (insufficiently) is.

Today’s episode of Insuphishient may be the greatest episode these two fools have ever put together.

For the first five minutes, Matt does deep breathing exercises while Nick reenacts a 1994 setlist by yodeling the jam parts.

Then, once all that “gold” settles down, the boys get to the real heart of the matter:

Who stole KOA negative 3.248?

By now, you can tell Nick is writing this update and his coffee has not really kicked in. So the question remains:

Why are you still reading?

The answer might scare you.

Just (kidding). None of that has happened, none of that will ever happen, and you are not, in fact, even Been reading this right now.

Today’s show is good though.

Still Matt, still Nick, still doing this bit
Still Phish on the brain, still the takes don’t quit
Still walking in late with a half baked plan
Still yelling “Is this thing on?” like a confident man

Still lot food smoke, still lawn chair throne
Still one weird Tory on a burner phone
Still chasing the jam, still missing the point
Still turning the podcast into a parking lot joint

New ep, same mess, same beautiful crime
Matt brought the notes and Nick lost the time
So ride with the boys, let the nonsense begin
It’s Insuphishient, still weird as sin.

I actually had to look and Make sure they I spelled shoe correctly. Turns out I did but it’s still crazy. Does that look right to you?

Anyways, Matt and Nick are out there living life, not just sitting around some podcast studio like chumps. As a result, they did not have a podcast to release for today (how rude). Good news from 1996, This episode.

It is officially the least listened to episode of Insuphishient. Recorded a little over one year a go today. Unless your name starts with E and ends with T, chances are you have never hear this! It’s a cult classic!

So (Also all episode descriptions are are fake except these idiots think its Friday...)

Today on Insuphishient, Run on sentences! Also,Matt and Nick return (with absolutely no structure, no real plan, and somehow more patchouli than ever). Nick opens the show with a brand new theory connecting Phish setlists, weather patterns, and regional soup preferences (it's true), while Matt spends most of the episode trying to determine whether certain jams are actually “good” or if everyone is just throwing Trey a bone.

At some point the guys attempt to create a definitive ranking system for the walk on music if each member of Phish (would use) if they were entering a professional wrestling match. Things immediately spiral. To save you time, Fishman ends up with the most intimidating entrance, Page refuses pyro (got to watch those sleeves), Trey gets accused of probably overcommitting to the bit (usually not a bad thing, usually), and Mike may or may not descend from the ceiling wearing leather (we all know the answer to this).

There’s also discussion of the ideal parking lot snack, whether a 17 minute jam should legally require a warning label, and a completely unnecessary argument about how many cargo pockets is “too many cargo pockets.”

Tune in NOW!

Happy Monday!!!

Well, the wait is over. The Sphere run is officially in the books, and credit where it’s due, Trey and company deserve their flowers. Matt knows it. He’ll give them. Nick knows it too… but Nick is feeling 1992, which means naturally the boys spend very little time talking about the thing everyone wants them to talk about and instead hop in the time machine and head backward.

Is it cruel? Maybe.
Is it kind? Probably not.
Do you have to be curly to be kind? That feels like a song, right?
No. Yes. Maybe.

Either way, Matt and Nick are back, and whether you like it or not, so is the chaos. They missed you. The rust is real, the takes are loose, and this is not their sharpest show. First one back, you gotta stretch before you sprint. But the groove is there, the nonsense is flowing, and by minute twelve it feels like they never left.

So tune in and rock out. What else are you gonna do for the next thirty seven… I’m not old… minutes?

Thanks for waiting.

We are currently stuck in The Wedge somewhere between recording and releasing, and at this point Zencastr has us in the NICU fighting for audio life support. For two straight days we’ve been trying to record and somehow ended up Halfway to the Moon with nothing to show for it but error messages, bad moods, and a growing pile of digital Leaves.

So while the tech gremlins sort themselves out, we’re pulling a Classic Insuphishient from the vault. A little five fifty five(ya dig), a little Dirt, and enough nonsense to make you wanna Punch ME in the Eye and remind you why you’re (sp)here in the first place. By the time this thing reaches your ears, we’ll hopefully have the Golgi Apparatus (The Golgi apparatus was identified in 1898 by the Italian biologist and pathologist Camillo Golgi. The organelle was later named after him in the 1910s) firing again and be back in business.

Until then, enjoy the chaos of 1.0 inusphishient.

We’re closer than we look.

Matt and Nick are currently lost somewhere between time and space, so while the universe sorts itself out, you’re getting a Classic Insuphishient to get your mind right for Sphere Run 3.

The truth is less cosmic and more annoying: Zencastr has completely fallen apart and for two straight days these two highly trained podcast professionals have been unable to record. Technology has failed us. Again. Some say it’s a glitch. Some say it’s Ticketmaster retaliation. We may never know.

But fear not. This one is a certified classic and absolutely worth the spin. Think of it as stretching before the next run. We’ll be back soon with fresh chaos, hotter takes, and all the Sphere nonsense you can handle.

Until then, enjoy the old magic. We’ll catch up eventually. Probably.

It’s Monday. You might have the day off. You’re a Phish fan, so maybe employment is more of a rumor than a reality right now. That’s okay. No shade. Unless Page is physically blocking the light, in which case Trey likes it so.

Today on Insuphishient, Matt and Nick are fully locked in on Sphere night two and the funk level is rising fast. Night one was strong. Night two walked in, looked around, and basically said HYHU, don’t worry, I got this.

The music got weirder, shorter but wider. The lights on the dome got brighter. Smiles of the crowd got bigger. Noun noun verb.

So now we ask the important questions. Are we seeing history happen or just falling for the same old Phish trick with a bigger screen? Also, Who approved Page’s stats in the Phish video game? (our boy got done dirty).

What are they wearing? Does it matter? Does anything really matter?

The jams are hot (accept 1). The spirits are high. The boys are dialed all the way in.

Three more nights are three more nights away.

Today on Insuphishient, We kicks things off with a full breakdown of Sphere night one,

The band takes the stage, the visuals get weird, and at some point we all agree that showing the band might actually be A GOOD IDEA.

Also discussed:

Fishman is either isolated for sound or being treated like the Pope.
Ticketmaster is going to court, which will definitely fix everything.

Expectations remain impossible. Stakes remain high. Nick and Matt's confidence remains unjustified.

Tune in.
We’re figuring it out in real time.

Yes that’s right. Nick and Matt are back with more up to the minute Insuphishient for your Big Money Friday listening pleasure.

The guys get deep today. Like suspiciously deep. The kind of deep where a simple thought about Phish somehow turns into a full blown theory about time, technology, absence, money, mystery, and why none of us can leave this band alone.

Then, because no good idea goes untested, they roll out a brand new segment and immediately treat it like it has been a cornerstone of the show for years.

All this and more.

There is a lot going on right now. Maybe too much. News flying in from every direction, rumors in the air, timelines bending, and Matt and Nick doing their absolute best not to drown in it. Some people might say they are just swimming around out there. Not us though. Never us. We are calling it processing.

And to properly process all this breaking news, the boys need a little time, a little space, and maybe a little less pressure.

Matt and Nick are out of the room, out of patience, and out of excuses. They paid their dues, fried their brains, burned through the last of the gas, and still somehow dragged a fresh episode across the finish line. Shoes busted, socks hanging on by a thread, mirrors telling hard truths, and yet the boys kept moving because there was no time to lose.

And here’s the good news. Everything is right. Or close enough. The episode is live, the takes are hot, the damage is done, and now all that’s left is for you to hold tight and enjoy the ride. No safety net, no clean landing, just your favorite Phish talk show doing what it does best and getting it out while the wires are still warm.

Matt and Nick just left the studio with this HOT track TO GO for your listening pleasure.

For the first time in Insuphishient history, they are recording and releasing within minutes, which means all the usual guard rails are off and this thing is absolutely flying with no supervision. As Bill O’Reilly once said, “WE’LL DO IT LIVE!” and that is exactly what is happening here today.

Is this the best episode of Insuphishient ever?
Maybe.
It is, however, the best one recorded today, and that is not up for debate.

The guys also debut a brand new game, and in a shocking turn of events, both Nick and Matt absolutely brick it in spectacular fashion. Not even close. Real tough scene. You will not believe how confident they were compared to how poorly this went.

No safety net, no edits, no second takes. Just two guys, a couple microphones, and whatever comes out of their mouths in real time.

Tune in and enjoy.
And remember… anything can happen when you do it live.

Today on Insuphishient…

Matt and Nick attempt to talk about Phish at the Sphere but instead accidentally create a new scientific system for classifying songs as either “For the Band” or “For The People,” which immediately gets rejected by the scientific community, the jam community, and several members of their own families.
Nick unveils a plan to talk over one of Matt’s band’s 20 minute jams and call it “content,” Matt considers this, then immediately regrets telling Nick he has recording equipment. Meanwhile Nick's Plant continues to become more powerful within the organization, and there are now rumors it knows how to use all the knobs correctly, which would make it the most qualified person involved in this entire operation.

Next time on Insuphishient…

Matt starts a side project writing "Fortune" cookies.
Nick tries to get a sky writer to write "Wave of Hope Is Not a Set Two Opener" over Fishman's house.
The band Phoenix Freight changes their name to Phoenix with an F.
And somehow, despite all available evidence, these two idiots start a media company.

Turn it on. Turn it up.

Since Nick Blew it at the end of yesterday's show, we will pick up exactly where we left off. No intro.... Just straight rip!

So Yes Nick has officially solved the mystery of why his sound kept cutting out. After hours of troubleshooting, equipment discussions, cable inspections, and at one point blaming what he called “electrical ghosts,” it turns out the problem was that Nick had one of his own AirPods in his pocket... That’s right. The man who has opinions about everything Page does was defeated by a volume knob. We will be taking no further questions at this time.

Because of this shocking development, Matt has temporarily been promoted to Head of Audio, Head of IT, and Head of Common Sense. Nick will remain Head of Confidence.

Meanwhile, Molly continues to quietly become the most competent person on the show, which is both impressive and concerning for leadership.

So to recap: Molly is thriving, Matt is in charge of the buttons, Nick is no longer allowed to touch the equipment without supervision, and somehow this operation is producing more content than ever.

We wish we could say things are running smoothly.
They are.
They are running.

It’s been a long time coming, but our phrend Molly is back. Somewhere well past her 46th day of listening to Phish, and somehow… still loving life. Honestly, thriving.

This is not your usual Insuphishient format, which of course means it might actually be one of the best ones. We’ve got a Saturday follow-up coming (yes, a Saturday show, stay calm), and a video drop on Sunday because apparently we’ve become a full media company overnight. So while Phish might not be the main topic today, the content levels are borderline irresponsible. You are welcome.

Also, let’s be real for a second. What Molly has done for this little corner of the world is priceless. The energy, the openness, the willingness to just jump in and ride the wave. If more people moved like that, things would be a lot better out there.

Regular chaos resumes Monday.

Today’s episode features a full breakdown of the secret system Phish uses to decide setlists in real time, including the never before discussed “eye contact protocol” between Trey and Page, Mike’s silent veto power, and the exact moment Fishman decides it’s time to completely ignore the plan. The guys also unveil a new metric for judging shows that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with how early you start believing it’s the best show you’ve ever seen.

Later, Matt introduces a controversial theory that every great jam is actually just a slightly improved version of a jam from 1997, while Nick explains why that’s not only wrong but somehow still correct. There’s also a brief but important discussion about whether the band knows Insuphishient exists and if so, whether they’re actively trying to mess with them.

None of this is confirmed. All of it is delivered with confidence.

You made it. You survived the great Insuphishient drought (4 whole days). Which means only one thing… your favorite Phish talk show is BACK.

Today the boys return with a groundbreaking deep dive into one of the most overlooked aspects of live music: the electrical wiring on the Phish stage. Did you know there are more than 20 miles of cables running through that setup? Matt and Nick break down exactly where every single one goes, why some of them have to be shielded, and which ones Trey is absolutely not allowed to step on. It’s technical. It’s detailed. It’s the kind of hard hitting journalism the scene has been missing.

If you believe any of that is actually what today’s episode is about… fantastic.

Today on a very special Insuphishient, Matt and Nick tackle a serious issue facing the Phish community: food code violations on lot. Health inspectors beware. Actually no. But it does raise an important question. When Phish hits Vegas, will there even be a lot scene? And if there is… where exactly does it happen? More importantly, will anyone be able to tell the difference between a wook and a perfectly normal Las Vegan? The guys don’t know, but that has never stopped them from explaining exactly how it’s going to work.

Also on today’s show, a question that has divided civilizations for centuries: is French cheese actually worth it? Bold opinions will be delivered with absolutely no supporting evidence. All that and more on your favorite Phish talk show. Tune in and turn it up.

Nick unveils a brand new theory about why spherical Phish might secretly be the best Phish ever, and in a shocking development Matt completely buys in. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, the podcast ends abruptly when the power goes out.

Matt and Nick are happy. Want to know why? Because they found a band called Phish. Through all the noise and constant yammering, one thing is true. They’re grateful. Life without music would be less. Music without Phish would be incomplete.

On today’s episode, Nick and Matt are going to break down step by step everything that went into the making of Curveball and what really happened.

Just kidding.

Instead you get the usual Insuphishient blend of love, chaos, and confident nonsense. A few real truths, a few dangerous takes, and a whole lot of gratitude hiding underneath the jokes. Tune in and turn it up.

Matt and Nick are back and it’s Monday, so honestly, you’re welcome. These two dudes are absolutely on fire. Someone grab an extinguisher. No seriously, this level of confidence usually requires professional supervision and soft walls. (Or Mike. Definitely Mike.)

This episode has everything. Dangerous takes. Selective memory. Unnecessary confidence. A little love, a little chaos, and just enough truth to keep it real. No agenda. No structure. Just two guys chasing the groove, arguing with certainty, and refusing to admit they might be wrong. Turn it on, turn it up, and let it ride.

Today, while you are battling The Big Machine trying to order your Phish tickets, throw on your favorite Phish talk show, Insuphishient, and let Nick and Matt keep you company through the chaos. Refresh buttons are being abused, hopes are rising and falling in real time, and somewhere between confirmation emails and emotional damage, the boys are here riding the wave with you.

Matt and Nick are fully fired up now that Fishman has officially upped for summer tour, and yes, they have at least a few interesting things to say about it. You are welcome. So back to the summer tour lottery. Did you score tickets? Did we? There is only one way to find out. Tune in, turn it up, and Flyyyyyyy!

Matt and Nick finally take on the Baker’s Dozen, a run so legendary it probably deserved preparation, research, and maybe even notes.

Naturally, none of those things happened. Instead, the guys dive in headfirst with confidence, questionable data, and the kind of enthusiasm that only comes from knowing you’re about to get half the details wrong but loving the journey anyway. Donuts. Moments. Lawn Mans. Opinions are formed and immediately changed.

Somehow through the noise, a little of the magic of the Baker’s Dozen still shines through. The surprises, the consistency, the feeling that for thirteen nights something impossible kept happening over and over again. Matt and Nick may not fully explain why it mattered, but they absolutely capture how it felt. Tune in for an imperfect breakdown of a perfect run, delivered the only way Insuphishient knows how.

You know what? I’m grumped, like Page when he has to leave south Florida to come play for you.

Nick and Matt are sitting in the middle of a damn blizzard trying to record a podcast while the world shuts down around them, snow piling up, roads closed, brains frozen, and somehow they still hit record like this is normal behavior. No power, no visibility, probably surviving on bad coffee and worse decisions, and you people still expect clean takes and emotional stability.

Meanwhile, yes, they forgot Fishman’s birthday, argued about nonsense for an hour, and still managed to thank the listeners like absolute lunatics.. you are welcome.

So yeah, this episode is messy. It’s loud, cold, slightly hinged, and completely Insuphishient.

Two guys snowed in, yelling into microphones because the show must go on whether the weather agrees or not. If that doesn’t sum up this podcast by now, nothing will. Turn it on, warm up, and ride it out with them. The storm eventually passes. The takes do not.

You can’t go through life listening to the Nicks of the world. They worry too much. Always tense. Always preparing for disappointment. Matt said there would be a summer tour and guess what… there was a summer tour. Case closed.

Does that make Nick wrong? Yes. Absolutely yes. No debate. But also… isn’t Nick the one writing this episode description right now? Also yes. So what exactly is happening here? Is this an apology? A correction? A carefully disguised rewriting of history? The people deserve answers.

And while we’re asking questions… did you two idiots even wish Fishman a happy birthday? The man turned 61 and you recorded on Wednesday and completely blew it. Unbelievable behavior.

So let’s fix that right now.

Happy Birthday Fishman. Hope this year treats you better than the last. We got you a vacuum. You know why. Love you, brother man.

You ever notice how some Phish lyrics feel like the band is quietly calling roll? Names drifting through the lines like they were always meant to be there. Matt and Nick have somehow never talked about this. Not once. Which makes you wonder. Who told them to cool it? Who said, “nah man… leave that alone.”

If you’re looking for answers today, easy now. This episode isn’t about solving mysteries. It’s more like sitting on the porch waiting for summer tour to arrive. A mat at the door. A nic in time that saves nine. Don’t rush it. Let it come to you.

Nick and Matt are riding a deeper wave this time. No stress. No hurry. Just letting the conversation drift where it wants to go, trusting the groove like always.

So lean back. Turn it up just a little. Let it play.

Also somehow along the way… the best fly fishing taco spots in the Northwest. Because life is balance like that.

We go back now. February 9, 2022. A colder world. Smaller microphones. Bigger confidence. This was peak early middle era Insuphishient. Structure? Technically yes. Discipline? Absolutely not.

On this historic evening Matt unveiled what he claimed was a “foolproof” method for predicting summer tour cities using nothing but venue capacity charts and emotional intuition. Nick countered with a 17 minute monologue explaining why every jam in 1998 secretly foreshadowed the modern era. Neither point was proven. Both were defended aggressively.

This was also the episode where Poster Nutbag made an unsanctioned appearance, a bracket was introduced and immediately abandoned, and Matt tried to argue that a random midweek set two opener was “top five all time if you remove context.” Nick nearly walked off. He did not.

Looking back, 2/9/22 feels like a hinge moment. The games were tighter. The takes were hotter. The confidence was unmatched. It was chaotic but pointed. Silly but sharp. The kind of episode that made you feel like you were in on something.

Dust it off. Revisit it.
Classic Insuphishient.

As Phish is on the clock to announce summer tour, Matt and Nick are here to help you keep your Sanity, even if it never came your way.

It’s that time of year where the rumors start swirling, the refresh button gets worn down, and every cryptic social media post feels like a clue. The passage of time? We are feeling it. Hard.

Today on Insuphishient, Nick finally gives it to Matt. Calm down. It’s the triumphant return of Real Show / Fake Show. Pride. Ego. Historical accuracy hanging by a thread.

Then we dig into a fan survey on the “State of Phish.” The numbers are in. The takes are spicy. Nick is not impressed.

Hey, if you listen to us, thank you. Much respect. We love Phish and We love the people who love Phish. PHISH!

Try and have a great day. BUT remember, if they don’t announce SUMMER tour this week…

NO TOUR FOR YOU.

Matt and Nick did something this week that should probably be illegal. They correctly predicted the Super Bowl outcome. The exact score. Not vibes. Not close. Dead on. Like for real for real. Unclear how. Unclear why. Deeply unsettling how accurate they were.

Meanwhile, somehow just as shocking, there are still no summer tour dates. It’s 2/9. We are adults. We have jobs. We have calendars. We have people to coordinate with. And yet here we are, completely in the dark.

So the protest continues. If the future won’t reveal itself, Matt and Nick are heading backward. Way backward. Summer tour openers from another era. It’s feeling very 1996 in here and honestly that might be the safest place to be right now.

Tune in. Strap up.
Let’s ride.

Let try this again shall we... (Nick says sorry)

Not for nothing, but it’s the sixth of February and none of us have any idea if Phish is coming anywhere near us this summer. No dates. No cities. No poorly cropped poster to analyze. Just vibes and calendar anxiety.

So Matt and Nick are not taking this lying down. Well, technically they are sitting down, but they are digging in anyway. Today’s focus is summer tour openers. The good ones. The weird ones. The ones that quietly tell you exactly what kind of tour you’re about to get if you know how to listen.

Also, the Jazz Mandolin Project played Boston last night and that deserves its own space. We will absolutely talk about that on Monday.

Until then, stay warm. Stay patient.

Is it odd that we still don’t know when or where Phish is playing this summer? Maybe. But this is that perfect stretch of the new year where anything feels possible and the summer tour announcement could drop at any second.

Will they play near you? Will they play near me? Will they ever play sanity again? Hard to say. Only time will tell. Or Trey. If we could just get him to return our calls.

So today on Insuphishient we start a brand new game. When will it end? Spoiler alert. You already have all the clues.

Hate it or love it, everything eventually comes to an end. And as Phish played one song, they jammed another. As any good detective knows, the jam never lies. That was the final hurrah.

Matt says he would never go. Nick says he would gladly be your plus one. Trey supposedly said, “Whatever you do, take care of your shoes.” Who knows if any of that is true. Truth is slippery down there.

Either way, Mexico 2026 is officially in the books. The bags are unpacked. The wristbands are coming off. And now there’s a long, long stretch of calendar standing between you and Sphere. Thank the gods of rock you’ve got Nick and Matt to help fill the gap, keep the feeling alive, and say the quiet parts out loud.

Let’s rock.

Phish has the first two shows of 2026 in the books and right out of the gate things are already bending. Each night brought a debut. One night slipped in a little bust out just to keep everyone honest.

The waves are there. You can feel them and hear them. They’re showing up in the playing, in the pacing, the lyrics, the Song titles, in the way things are connecting across nights. The turtle in the clouds, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. Make of that what you will.

Matt and Nick take the only approach that makes sense. Pick a song from night one or night 2 in each spot it was played. Mix and Match in Mex....

So the question is already on the table. Is this the best Mexico run Phish has ever had. Tune in and then you tell us.

Matt and Nick are in Mexico, sitting on a beach, recording a podcast about Phish being in Mexico. Which means this episode is happening inside itself. No filter. No distance. Just sand, sun, and two guys trying to describe a place while actively living in it.

There’s a James Taylor calm to the whole thing. That “nobody’s in a rush, everybody knows why they’re here” feeling. The days blur together. The nights stretch out. The ocean keeps time better than any watch. Phish is nearby doing Phish things, and Insuphishient is doing exactly what it’s always done. Talking it through. Letting it breathe. Not trying to control it.

This one isn’t about analysis or hot takes. It’s about location, headspace, and that strange comfort that shows up when the music and the setting line up just right. A podcast as a postcard. From Mexico. About Mexico. While you’re somewhere else wishing you were here.

Today on Insuphishient we’re heading back to May 1992. Boston. A younger world. Smaller rooms. Bigger hair. Same mission.

It’s a little Space Oddity, a little more “ground control" Little less "major jam,” as Matt and Nick float through a time capsule show with wide eyes and zero oxygen. The takes are coming in from orbit, the nostalgia is fully pressurized, and somewhere in the distance you can hear the city humming like it knows what’s about to happen.

So strap in, Pham. This one is a transmission from the past, beamed straight into your ears from Boston in May.

Big Money Friday is back and the boys are doing what they do best, taking something simple and turning it dumb. It's Name DAY. Band names. Member names. Sandwich names. Nothing is safe. Matt is firing off options like he’s running a focus group, Nick is overconfidently declaring winners after hearing them once, and somehow every idea gets worse and better at the exact same time.

This is chaotic, yet decisive, and deeply (un?)Serious in the way only Insuphishient can pull off.

This episode is pure type 2. A little ridiculous (Thanks Matt!). A little genius (I mean Nick is in it). The kind of conversation that starts as a joke and ends with you accidentally believing one of these names should be trademarked immediately(True). Tune in for the madness, stay for the ChatGPT, and prepare to walk away calling your lunch something illegal.

It’s Friday. It's BIG (That's what he said). It's MONEY!!!!

Also Cheese has been recalled...

Insuphishient is a podcast by two American podcast hosts, Matt and Nick, which was recorded live, both in spirit and actually, somewhere between text messages and microphones on a random weekday in January 2026.

This stretch of Insuphishient will always be remembered by listeners as the loose era, during which the show deemphasized its more technical segments and structured games in favor of more ambient conversation, groove based takes, and extended space improvisations. Some of this was predicated on the show’s transition from a tightly packed bit driven podcast, then to flowing segments, and finally to something closer to arena level wandering, which required a shift in approach and overall sound. This episode was instantly a host and listener favorite, and versions of it had been discussed long before the current iteration of the show was fully conceived.

Among listeners, the episode is already being considered one of the strongest in the show’s history. Within the Insuphishient community, it is quietly being talked about as a top tier entry when stacked against the hundreds of conversations Matt and Nick have recorded over the years.

Bonus moments include a few extended tangents not originally part of the main thread, recorded elsewhere in time, featuring a long wandering section that goes on far longer than expected and rewards anyone who sticks around to the end.

No wait, that was Live Phish Vol 11. That's is what todays show is about!

Over the weekend a great musician passed and the world is quieter because of it. The rooms feel a little emptier. The notes hang a little longer. We are all, without question, a little worse off.

So Matt and Nick show up. Not to fix it. Not to explain it. Just to sit with it for a while and help say goodbye the only way they know how. Talking it out. Letting the thoughts drift in. Letting the music do what it has always done for people who care too much.

This episode is reflective without being heavy. A reminder that the people who make the soundtrack to our lives never really leave, even when they do. Their fingerprints stay on everything. On the way we listen. On the way we gather. On the way we feel less alone in a room full of strangers.

Matt and Nick are here to help say goodbye. And maybe, without trying, help remind us why this stuff matters in the first place.

Well folks, 2025 is officially closed and somehow everyone got what they wanted. Nick definitely did. A debut. Finally.

While Nick was "Cream"ing his jeans, Matt slipped effortlessly back into his signature role as Baby New Year. "Waaah. Waaah."

All jokes aside, MSG has seen a lot over the years. Legendary runs. Historic moments. Wild experiments. This one lands as the best album of shows. Front to back. No skips. It is going to take a while to unpack everything that happened, but for now we offer the immediate hot takes from two guys who are not qualified to operate the McFlurry machine at McDonalds.

Locked in. Loaded up. The second night of the 2025 New Years run is in the books and Nick and Matt are here to talk about it.

Trey looked healthier. Mike wore a vest. Fish showed up in a dress. Page kept his sleeves rolled all the way down again.

As 2025 starts to close here is what we know.

Not counting Big Cypress, the highest rated Phish show ever happened this July at SPAC. No shock there.

Zero Phish debuts. Shocking.

Finally, As you get ready for tonight take a second. Be grateful. Feel blessed. You are loved. If this year taught us (Insuphishient) anything it is that Trey has made you a community, a home.

It is December 26 and the New Years engine is already running.

I could be wrong but I swear this is how it goes. Phish wakes up, meets at MSG, and the whole city clicks into that special frequency. Trey is quietly building the gag. Mike is already in the zone. Fish is steering the ship with a grin. Page is turning normal air into electricity. Four friends, one room, one mission. New Years mode.

And that is exactly where Insuphishient lives today.

This episode is a little peek behind the curtain. Not a lecture. Not a recap. More like you are standing in the hallway while the band warms up and the building starts breathing. We have had some heaters over the years, but if you want the feeling that the run is about to begin, this is the one.

To be completely honest I did not actually listen to this episode before writing this, so I have no idea what those two idiots Nick and Matt recorded today.

In classic Insuphishient fashion they sent it to me at 11:42 PM on Christmas Eve. Literally as I was getting into bed. So you know what. Forget those guys. I hope you the listener have a very merry Christmas. Matt and Nick can absolutely eat it.

That said, Trey, Mike, Fish and Page, Happy Holidays. Thank you for everything you have given us over the years and especially this year. And especially S.P.A.C. That was awesome.

Anyway I am assuming this episode is about homemade eggnog or something equally ridiculous.

Ladies and gentlemen yes Insuphishient is back and yes it somehow feels better than ever. Possibly because today they barely talk about Phish at all. It is the holiday season. The air is thick. Schedules are broken. Brains are full. A lot is going on and somehow all of it makes its way into the room.

Matt and Nick wander through seasonal chaos, life updates, sideways thoughts, and the general hum of December before eventually remembering there is a band involved. When they do get there it lands. Calm. Loose. Surprisingly right on time. The kind of episode that sneaks up on you and ends up being exactly what you needed.

Today on a very special Insuphishient:

It’s Friday and the vibe is a little tipsy, fuddled, in the best possible way. Matt and Nick are elevated, the room feels full, and joining the chaos is a special guest. Scott.

Prime edits did fly (h)early. The conversation moves fast and then slower, swelling into those fat bulk expanse moments where everything seems important at once. Some thoughts get stranded. Others come back level headed but still carrying a warning. You better bend it (Beckham) or you miss it.

Scott drops in and shifts the energy without trying. The takes get warmer, the edges get softer, and the episode drifts into that sweet spot where nothing feels forced and everything feels learned.

It’s Friday. Let it wander.

In the first iteration of Insuphishient, Matt and Nick had more structure. More games. More bits. They said Poster Nutbag a lot. People liked it.

Then the guys took a break. When they came back, some people said Matt and Nick were never better. The show loosened up. Segments started to flow. Wordplay sharpened. A little unpredictability crept in and slowly took the wheel.

Then the show went dark. For a while. Insuphishient disappeared. The Snowball sat collecting dust. Bad takes were kept to themselves. ChatGPT grew bored and lonely.

And then, like a phoenix that did not send a press release, your favorite Phish talk show came back. No warning. No rollout. Just back. Some said it was better than ever. Others said the peak was years ago. Both things can be true.

What we do know is this. We play fewer stupid games than ever. And somehow it feels like we are putting out some of the best shows we have made. A renaissance...

Things change. Things stay the same.
Thank you. It really does mean a lot to us.

Yes folks you heard correctly. It is Matt’s birthday and in true Insuphishient fashion we are celebrating with maximum confusion and questionable decision making. We even reached out to Mike to see if he wanted to come on. Nick insists it was an imposter on TikTok. But let me ask you this. Would an imposter like a direct message and then refuse to respond with actual words. And if it is an imposter, what is the long game here. Impersonating Mike Gordon for sport. Or maybe it really is him.

Either way Matt is having a birthday and we are going to celebrate like it is 1986, one year after Page joins the band. A private three set show that somehow only exists in audio form and absolutely demands your attention.

The third and final chapter with Molly, and somehow Matt and Nick are having way too much fun to let her escape. At this point it’s unclear who is interviewing who.

Hello out there in Insuphishient land. You have never needed a Part Two like this before. Maybe we’re overstating. Maybe we’re right on the line. You be the Judge Judy and the executioner.

Today on your favorite Phish talk show we drop back in at the exact millisecond we bailed last time. Nick whispering calmly in your ear, pretending he knows what’s happening. Matt staring into the abyss like it owes him money. Then the whole thing twists sideways and suddenly bam there you go. It took us a long time to get back on the train and somehow we still missed a stop.

As you know Matt and Nick operate with a level of factual precision normally reserved for federal investigations and ancient libraries. These two don’t miss. Borderline immaculate. Spotless beings drifting through a world that keeps dropping crumbs.

Today that streak is in danger because Insuphishient has a guest. And not just any guest. The world’s foremost authority on all things Phish. A scholar. A sage. A seeker who has spent years achieving total oneness with the Helping Friendly Book.

Wait. Hold up. It’s only her third week?

Her name is Molly. It’s her dad’s birthday so everyone behave. She’s three weeks into Phish and the only responsible thing to do was bring her on and ask the purest question in the (jam)known universe. "Why!?".(FYI, that <-- was the world record for punctuation in a sentence. It is now held by Insuphishient)

What we found is a surprisingly well adjusted human with a rare and almost noble belief about what social media is for. She’s been using it to bring people together. Historically a doomed pursuit. Statistically unwise. Something seven out of ten people would flee from. And yet here we are. Matt. Nick. Molly. Compressing the universe into one improbable moment and maybe stitching a new Ph(f)riendship into being.

Walk with her as we meet M for the very first time.

Today’s episode of Insuphishient comes out of the oven with that Julia Child energy. The apron’s crooked, the pan’s too hot, and somehow everything ends up perfect anyway.

We take the 11 26 97 show like it’s the bird itself. Seasoned heavy. Center of the table. Then the episode starts rolling out the sides and surprises the wandering flavors that show up when Matt and Nick forget they’re supposed to be following any recipe at all.

There is no rush. Just a slow confident glide through the material. A pinch of BS here. A generous pour of Fishman is a god there. Commentary that feels hand spun. Messy in the way that makes the whole kitchen smell better.

By the end, the thing has turned into something richer than a recap. More like a Jam assembled mid show with Trey somehow holding everything together.

Ladies and gentlemen you waited ten days and the prophecy finally cracked open. Matt and Nick have returned with a brand new Insuphishient and the energy is unstable in a good way.

Matt decided he was done pretending to understand Thanksgiving so he went full scholar mode and brought the entire holiday into the studio. Pilgrims. Corn. Cranberry logistics. All of it. No one asked for this but everyone needs it.

Nick decided to test the structural limits of human momentum. He goes for it. Then he goes further. At one point he attempts to explain the physics of enthusiasm and nearly levitates out of the room.

Matt and Nick are flying solo after the FCC pulled their live-crowd permit for “reasons” that may or may not involve nudity. With no audience and no pants, they dive headfirst into chaos: four band members, four random adjectives. Things go south fast when “hard” comes up first and “confused” isn’t far behind. Somewhere between arguing about Goose’s piano player and Fishman’s bowel regularity, a legitimate Phish discussion actually breaks out.

They time-travel to Fall ’96 for a full breakdown of the Auburn Hills show, complete with divided skies, painful pauses, and enough nerdy detail to make even Mike Gordon blush. Along the way they reinvent podcast copyright law, debate who in Phish would choose which superpower, and accidentally invent Fishman’s new alter ego: Laundry Buddy, defender of muumuus, sworn enemy of vacuums.

Aliens might land at a Phish show, Trey might still be fast, and somewhere in all of it the guys remember to say the words:
It’s Insuphishient.

In the wild studio plains of Insuphishient, two rare creatures, Matthew and Nicholas, conclude an ancient ritual known to locals as the Desert Island Game.
The atmosphere is tense.
Moments ago, a round of “WWYD” spiraled into confusion, awkward laughter, and mild emotional dehydration.

Sensing danger, the pair shifts instinctively.
They turn toward an older, safer form of communication:
The Tastes Great versus Less Filling debate, a mating call passed down through generations of broadcast hosts.

As the echoes fade, the habitat grows calm once more.
A Real Show, or perhaps a fake one, re-emerges from the mist, shimmering with possibility.

And if you listen closely, you can hear it now.
The faint glimmer of something truly Insuphishient beginning to shine.

Nick and Matt once paused a moment once to combine, right before Big Money Friday began to shine. It’s always been their favorite show to make, but somewhere between the chaos and entropy there was no Hot Take.

Then Just moments after that, Some one texted this show is "Phat."

But the video didn't sync up to the sound. And why is Nicks face so round?

Wait, maybe BMF didn’t die. Maybe it just…

So what are the guys swimming into today? One of the best Fall ’95 shows you’ll ever hear. Matt picked it, Nick dropped a secret live on air. You should’ve been there.

Matt and Nick are back in an all new Insuphishient!
Halloween’s gone and the jack-o-lanterns are rotting, but the Mall is already jingling bells and sucking wallets dry as we spiral ever deeper into late-stage capitalism.
Sometimes it’s nice to remember the good old days. Unless you’re 18-27, in which case these are them. Back when a smoke was a smoke, groovy was groovy, and nobody posted about it. But the times, as they say, are a-changin’.
If your mac and cheese needs to hit harder, we’ll be there. If your tire’s flat, we’ll be there. And if you’re listening to Phish from the 90s, Matt will be right there with you. Because Nick was already there, that old AMF.

You’d think Matt and Nick would know what day it is.
They don’t.
Luckily, it doesn’t matter — because today’s episode of Insuphishient is 100% FREE.

No paywall. No agenda. Just two guys talking about everything that matters and nothing that does.

Topics include:

  • David Byrne and the eternal question: “Wait… does he know Page?”
  • What’s going on in Vermont, and why Matt insists he saw Fishman in a Subaru
  • Nick trying to play Page’s new album on vinyl before realizing he has no record player

Also, Nick accidentally invents a new segment called “Deep Cuts From a Guy Who’s Never Heard the Song” and Matt reads a menu from a Burlington brunch spot for no reason at all.

Tune in, tune out, turn it up.
The vibes are light, the takes are loose, and your third favorite Phish podcast is first in your heart.

Matt and Nick are back baby and that can only mean one thing. It's Monday on Insuphishient.

Last week the crew had the week off and to be honest they missed you as much as you missed them. If that's even a quantifiable number.

So yes, We missed Trey's big 61st. Sorry Big Red, Nick at least said some nice things about you. Matt actually gave you a real salute too, but you would have to know Matt more to fully grasp it gravity.

Nick and Matt are back, the microphones are hot, and Big Money Friday has gone full tilt. Forget your spreadsheets, forget your job, forget your sanity. today rotten tomatoes is cracking open the vault.

That’s right: The Top TV Shows of the Last 25 Years.
Ranked, debated, argued, and then re-ranked because Nick accidentally counted backwards. This list will make you laugh, cry, cancel your weekend plans, and maybe even throw your phone. Trey might not agree, but Page probably would, and Mike nos not seen a single episode of any of them!

But wait — there’s more. Because while the list is melting your brain, Phish just melted Alabama ( like 2 weeks ago). Night 2 in Huntsvillewill be remembered as the show where:

  • The crowd invented a new dance called the “Southern Glide”
  • Fishman demanded sweet tea mid-set and got it

Meanwhile, Nick spent half the show explaining compound interest to a guy holding glowsticks. Did it work? No. Was it Big Money? Absolutely.

By the end, the boys aren’t sure if they’ve made a list, made a case, or just made fools of themselves. But one thing is clear:
The jams are hot.
The stakes are higher.
And Mike is still thirsty.

This is Big Money Friday.
This is Alabama Night 2.
This is Insuphishient.

The heads were nodding. The chompers were chomping. The glow sticks were glowing. All of this can only mean one thing: Phish is back at the Hampton Coliseum and Matt and Nick are here to break it down.

It’s the now third official day of fall, and Insuphishient is more than ready to chat Hampton Night 1. The internet’s in flames, the lot is buzzing, and one listener swears they saw Mike Gordon buying funnel cake with Canadian coins in Mexico. Someone else texted us that Trey winked directly at them and then switched Keys. Meanwhile, Matt tries to explain Hampton’s acoustics using only nautical metaphors, and Nick keeps yelling about how “the roof, the roof!”

By the end, it doesn’t matter if you were in the room or just streaming from your couch. Hampton Night 1 has that unmistakable Mothership glow. The music is real. The fans were restless. And if you listen closely, you might just hear Fishman playing in the background from Matt's basement.

It’s Hampton. It’s Wednesday. It’s World Wide. It’s Insuphishient.

And yes… Nick and Matt are back.

It’s Monday, y’all and Fall Tour (or “whatever we’re calling it” Tour) has officially wrapped.
Why didn’t they label it “Fall”? Was it a legal thing? An emotional thing? A cosmic thing? We may never know.

What we do know is that Night One at Hampton was the first of the final three — and we’re here to talk about it. So we take about Alpharetta GA night 2.

and on an aside, Thank you to the Band for being out there and doing these shows. The audiences was gifed an amazing 8 nights. The energy put in to this is high and appreciated. So thank you.

So today, we begin the final lap.

Yes yes y’all, Insuphishient is back and Fall Tour has officially begun. The band opened things up at Bourbon & Beyondin Louisville with two full sets of Phish — and three full days later, your boys are here to break it down.

Was this a real Phish show, or just a really good rehearsal?
Did Mike’s tone finally out-age the bourbon?
Did Matt and Nick agree on anything? (Spoiler: No.)

Nick was not grumpy. Matt was suspiciously not giddy. The whole truth lies somewhere in a barrel of whisky, and we are not talking about the rail.

Some people wonder what happens when you take big money and add it to Friday. The answer, of course, is Insuphishient.

Matt and Nick are back with a plan, and yes, this time it’s real. Not just two guys mumbling into microphones while flipping through setlists like they’re laminated Denny’s menus. No, today they came to work.

On this week’s Big Money Friday, Nick uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving the word "farm’d" (a term he claims was downloaded into his brain via dream) while Matt attempts to sneak “Phrygian” into casual conversation so many times the FCC nearly steps in.

There’s a story about a haunted walnut.
There’s a theory about Jon Fishman and time dilation.
And there’s a brief but deeply moving breakdown of the economics of powdered cider.

It’s Friday. It’s Money. It’s a plan.
It’s Insuphishient. Let’s go.

Bad news: The boys really phoned this one in.
Good news: They’ll be back to the normal schedule next week.
(Well… not next week. Monday’s a holiday. So Tuesday through Friday. Yay?)

Today Nick wants to talk covers, so they do.

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 prove you wrong.

Anyways, where were we? Oh yeah, Nick and Matt. Last time we left them, they were adrift at sea with a corn cob pipe and a button nose… wait, no, that was Page getting his first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.

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:

  1. Unlimited Fresca.
  2. A single bonsai tree named “Doug.”
  3. A goat with backstage access.

Nick thinks this explains half the jams from that era. Matt swears it explains all of them.

Add in a segment called “Buy, Sell, Jam” where the hosts treat Phish songs like stock picks, and things get dangerously close to financial advice.

By the end, Nick is shadowboxing, Matt is daydreaming about Doug the bonsai, and everyone is wondering if Friday is big enough to contain this much money.

This is Insuphishient.
It’s Big. It’s Money. It’s Friday.

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 score the next season of Law and Order.
  • Why Page is the most likely band member to own a submarine.
  • A deep dive into the lost “Cabbage Jam” from ’92 that probably never happened.
  • And Matt’s campaign to make Pop Tarts a tour lot staple.

Along the way, Nick challenges the audience to a spelling bee, Matt insists that Mike once patented a new kind of ladder, and both agree that if Halloween isn’t announced soon, they’re dressing as Reba and Tela.

By the end, the whole episode sounds less like a podcast and more like a fever dream recorded inside a planetarium gift shop.

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 and suddenly the stage shakes, the lights flicker, and the whole production spirals into absolute camp chaos.

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-Fi is strong and the takes are stronger.

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. Yesterday it was Winston-Salem ‘97, a straight-up banger. Today, they’re taking this International Tuesday to the next chapter: Amsterdam ‘97.

And let me tell you… damn. That soundcheck? So fire it makes you want to smack some guy with a European name.

The threads from yesterday are still hanging: Nick is still technically on vacation (but answering calls anyway), Matt might still be “out to lunch” from the day before, and both are feeling the creeping withdrawal that comes when the band stops touring. The time travel doesn’t help.

So, we’ve got multiple timelines converging here:

  • Timeline One: Yesterday: It’s Tuesday but really Monday, and Winston-Salem still echoes in their heads.
  • Timeline Two Today: It’s Amsterdam, 1997, and the soundcheck could power the grid.
  • Timeline Three The Future: The present day, where two hosts refuse to accept the calendar’s authority.

Buckle up. This one’s a trip through eras, time zones, and at least one international incident involving a jam so nasty it should require a passport stamp.

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 telemarketer… who just so happened to be at a Widespread Panic show. They hate Phish phans.

Matt thinks it might be a contagious.

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 fatties) charge led by the Four Phishmen of the Apocalypse.

All night long you went in and out of the freezer, into Glory, into Madness.

It felt... personal. It felt... perfect (thank you). But mostly... it felt like Phish at SPAC in summer.

The look of joy on the band’s faces will move you. The music will groove you. And the sound of Matt and Nick taking about Phish will soothe you. And on Friday we are going to play so much Tweezer Reprise JEMP is going to sue you ( Nick and Matt).
Anyways, If Phish still did "live releases", this show wouldn’t just make the cut.
It would set the bar. High. High Like Trey raised KOA 1.5 to the clouds during the promise made the night before.

This isn’t financial advice,

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 odds of keeping it were microscopic.
However, against all odds is exactly where Trey likes to live. Where he thrives. Where the rest of us give up, he gets up.

Even the great René Huemer stood in awe as he snapped a photo he took many times before but never at the opening of a show.
What he captured was our hero hoisting the KOA 1.5 high above his head like some strange relic. This was not just a gesture.

It was a summoning. A spell. An incantation. The Band transformed. From four guys in cool shirts (especially Mike and Page) into the immortal Phish-men.

And on today’s episode of Insuphishient, Matt and Nick make sense of it all.

Plus Cheese!

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 Taste)
One was still a boy. The other a man. God. Sh1T.

Expectations in the lot are high.
This summer has had some amazing peaks (and what's lower than a Valley?).
All in all, exactly how we like it.

Today on Insuphishient we gently, gently glaze over Forest Hills nights one and two like they’re overcooked bagels and then we yank the ripcord straight into SPAC.

Because whatever happens this weekend, we are lucky.
Lucky to have this tour.
Lucky to have this band.
Lucky to all be in this weird universe together.

Let’s take it home.
It’s Phish. It’s SPAC. It’s Insuphishient.

Let’s go.

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 tiny tennis court on time?
Looked like it.

Are we going to go over Forest Hills Night 1. Not even close.

Today’s show: Chicago Night 3.

Did Nick forget about the bad news until Matt reminded him at the end?
Absolutely. That’s the power of live music, baby.

So plug in.
Space out.
Turn up.

Peace.

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, And maybe, just maybe, the guy playing guitar was the one setting them.

Also: Nick comes dangerously close to admitting that a certain “tease” may, in fact, be… an actual song and they actually played it!
All while Matt walks by a CSI Unit and never notices.
And for some reason, there’s a segment about knitting a beanie for cold summer nights. What’s up with that?

History is made. Minds and lines are changed. Meatsticks remain uneaten.

Don't Go to the 6:30 Forest Hill Shows in a pleasant residential neighborhood WITHOUT A TICKET YOU WOK.

Let’s Fucking Go. (but not to Queens without a ticket)

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 teaser. A free sample, courtesy of Nick’s ongoing war with South American server cables (Are you sure about that?).

But today? Today you get the whole Bathtub, Piping hot, Full (of something). Was that Gin? Delivered straight to your face.

Did Matt remember the name of the ven(ewe)?
Did Nick finally get a 20(25) debut?

Did Trey call us clowns and then flex? (Enter the Gladiator > DEG > Tequila)

There are only five shows left before the summer break (all in New York State).

The band is peaking (maybe all-time peaking).
The fans are freaking (out).
Nick is metaphorically (literally) speaking.
Matt is thinking about cheek(ing).

It’s all happen(ing).
It’s Insu(phish)ient.
It’s Chi(ca)go.

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, baby.

What’s in it?

  • Matt recites part of a cheese label
  • Nick plays a kazoo solo over a recording of Trey breathing
  • There’s a game called “Is This Show Real?”
  • And a 90-second moment of silence for Page’s monogramed Cufflinks

Blame the server.
Blame Nick.
But mostly — enjoy this bite-sized morsel while we reboot our entire lives before Chicago Night Two.

It’s a Free Sample. It’s Nick’s fault. It’s still Insuphishient.

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: +2500
  • Dave’s Energy Guide: 10,000 to 1
  • Odds Matt and Nick beat Page and Fish in a tag-team, winner-take-all, chairs-and-ladders match: None

Regardless, these shows will be good.
The jams will be hottt.
And Mike? Mike’s gonna be thirsty.

Also — did we ever get to the bottom of that Trey and Cher thing?

Tune in. Turn out.
Get down with your bad self.

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: Myfe. David Bowie and a god damn VACUUM solo!

The second Mann show is just a few hours away, so plug in, get weird, and let your phavorite Phish Talkshow walk you straight into the storm.

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 four of his social “just in case.”

So before The Mann cracks open for Night One, get in the zone with this very podcast. There’s a Funky Bitch in new-new fancy clothes on the horizon. Strap in.

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 trying to do short division in his head with visible consequences. And yes, there’s a homemade gazpacho recipe in the mix, because it’s summer and this is still a podcast.

It’s Monday. It’s live. It’s sweaty.

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 lights over Mike, but he did definitely noticed that durning the AC/DC Jam, they stayed locked in place while the rest moved symmetrically. Nice Chris! Very Subtle!

Matt says “hi” in five languages, three of which might be made up. There's a hot pocket knockoff recipe. There’s a brief conversation about “Glide” that goes up in flames. Plus So Much More!!

Also since the , the "Chew" Won't start till tonight at 8:00 PM, with a Llama Opener, this is your time to get you pre-sho-Phish-phix (-Espish-If-ya-Aint-got-Tix).

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.

Also:

  • Matt reveals the last four digits of his social AND his mom’s maiden name
  • Nick explains how to secure an SBA loan using a setlist from 1997
  • A listener text asks "Is Freedom Rock Man?” and Matt screams “Yeah Man”

As Phish marches into Ohio, Matt and Nick emerge from a mysterious audio haze with a brand new episode — not on time, but right on brand. Today, they attempt to cover Colorado Night 2, a show Matt calls “legit” and Nick calls “wait, what day is it?”

Nick’s mic is cooked. Burnt. Glowing like an orb at a rave in 2007. Meanwhile, Matt is grinning like Guyute himself, shoutout to Ari (Guyute was the friendly pig right?). Derek may or may not be trapped in a portal behind the merch table.

Elsewhere in this episode:

• One of them loses their notes
• The other gains mysterious lisp
• No one pronounces “Cuyahoga” the same way twice

Are We halfway through the run?

Sports talk radio for Phish is back and The takes are uneven. The vibes are spicy. The mic is too hot.

Matt and Nick are back, baby — and this might be their best episode of the week. The show they’re covering? Well… it was night two in Austin.... You get it.

But don’t get it twisted, this tour’s not even halfway and Page is just starting to boil. On today’s episode:

  • Matt breaks down the sacred geometry of “Spin the Pickle” and why it can only be played under a waning gibbous.
  • Nick claims Fatboy Slim is spiritually behind the New Age Movement. No one disagrees, but no one knows what he means.
  • There’s an extended bit about horse metaphors. "Hay what can we Say?"
  • Someone accidentally invents a new type of microphone called the “Throat Wand.” ZERO PREORDERS so far

And yes — the energy is building. Colorado is nigh.

Matt and Nick return from the great Texas unknown with stories of Austin Night 1.

Spoiler alert, they liked the show....

A show so sweaty it qualified as a steam room with a Cities so loose it legally counted as interpretive dance.

The crowd came ready. The band came more than usual. Derek brought a snake and claimed it was his plus one.

Page didn't play shirtless.

Nick kept calling it “Night 1: in the bun.” No one stopped him.

Also:
• Mike debuted a new pedal called “The Rattler”.
• Moose stole things
• Matt lost his voice but gained clarity
• Someone mistook Fishman for a rodeo clown, and he just went with it

It was weird. It was wet. It was real... probably.

Austin Night 1. Let’s not forget it, even though it might not have happened.

After what felt like a 42 hour gap of dead air and existential dread, your favorite Phish Talk Show returns with a (re)vengeance. We left you hanging with a sample episode that felt like a fever dream in a CVS parking lot, so we’re balancing the scales with a full-force Tuesday drop straight from the glitchy depths of our recording rig.

This one? Oh, this one’s a return to form — Matt’s on fire, Nick’s mildly clothed, and the band is catching heat from both sides. We get into Trey’s haircut, Fishman’s resurrection arc, Paige’s disappearing act, and whether or not anyone in the band is still showing up on purpose. Also: Roosters Barbershop, ticket prices, and the question on no one’s mind — “Is this band still a grower?”

It’s summer tour. It’s summer scorn. It’s a free episode because we lost one in the wash. Consider this a peace offering — and a warning.

Insuphishient. Accept no substitutes.

Matt and Nick return with a very special giveaway: today’s episode is on the house. Why? Because we accidentally deleted the feed midway through the show. And before the data ends up like your car keys, in the freezer behind the peas, we are giving it away.

But don’t worry. This one’s pure-grade, artisanal, grass-fed Insuphishient.

The boys review recent Phish shows with the kind of emotional restraint you'd expect from two people arguing about water intake. Matt thinks a gallon is too much. Nick thinks you can drown in joy. Neither one blinks.

There’s also a very serious debate about Mike’s bass solos, whether Fishman secretly hates drum solos (he does), and if you can feather a hi-hat with your mind.

Also:
• Setlist thumbs-ups and wild tangents
• The "Eskimo Shroud" makes an unauthorized return
• Nick discovers left-hand softness
• Matt is probably still in the can

It’s summer tour. It’s free. It’s highly questionable.

Matt and Nick are back in the bunker, covered in chalk dust and emotionally rattled from a night that may or may not have happened. Did Phish play SNHU again? Was that real? Is the arena real? Why was the bathroom line 43 minutes long and entirely made up of mannequins?

The boys attempt to recount what happened, but it quickly turns into a meditation on onion rings, late-stage Tweezerism, and a brief tangent about whether or not Fishman is in a secret ska band with Mike Gordon’s chiropractor.

There’s a possible bust-out of “Theme from Antiques Roadshow.” Matt found a glowstick with a phone number on it. Nick saw a guy eat a laminated hotdog. The vibes were confusing, like a dream you keep waking up into.

Also: someone played "Sleeping Monkey" on steal drums during setbreak. Might have been Trey. Might have been Derek. No one's really sure.

The mic is hot. The facts are loose. The fog machine won’t turn off.

Matt and Nick return from a 48-hour silent retreat in the food court of a Connecticut mall, only to discover a setlist etched into a stone tablet behind an Orange Julius.

Naturally, they treat it as prophecy.

The show? Played backwards. Literally. Encore first. Opener last. Page wore a cape made of setbreak nachos. Fishman only responded to questions by playing cowbell. Trey announced every song title like a game show host. Mike never blinked. Not once.

Nick brought a slide whistle. Matt brought a mood.

Also:

  • Someone turned the entire lawn into a Slip ‘n Slide
  • There was a second set, but it was only visible through kaleidoscope glasses
  • An audience member claimed the show cured their fear of lasers

If this is the new era, it’s already broken, in the best possible way.

It’s Insuphishient. It’s tomorrow. It’s upside down.

Matt’s hat brim is too flat. Trey's tone sounds like a sneeze in a velvet glove. Nick might be in sleep mode. Fishman sneezed 37 times, and Matt brought a trombone to a kazoo fight.

Page? Allegedly there. Possibly microwaving a burrito in the green room.

We tried to recap night one at SNHU but accidentally invented a new genre: Ass to Themecore. It's all MoMA, no Movement. The grill was cold. The crowd was hot. The vibe was “"Doors at Four" becomes a lifestyle. The band clocked out at early, yawn.

Also:

  • Nick’s tone is fierce, but alone
  • Matt withers into dust mid-episode
  • We refuse to fix anything, especially the facts
  • Trey might be recovering from New Year’s 2014

It's only night one. The Rubik’s cube is scrambled. The sneeze count is live.

The summer tour has officially begun, and Matt and Nick are absolutely losing structural integrity. We’re talking foaming-at-the-lips-outside-a-Porta-Potty levels of anticipation. SPAC 6/20/04 is the flashback anchor, but everything else is spiraling: the marshmallows, the conspiracy chairs, the questionable use of the phrase “meatstick-orgasm energy.”

Matt invents a new metric called Setlist Elasticity and insists it’s real. Nick tries to name every Phish song that starts with the letter M and ends up creating a religion instead. Someone in the crowd might have yelled “Nicole ran out” and we’re fully counting it as canon.

Also:

  • Fishman might be the secret CEO of TikTok
  • The band better Not play all the new songs tonight so we don’t miss them
  • It's going to get sloppy (bring a tarp)

The mics are hot. The vibes are combustible. The summer begins now.

Matt and Nick are back and so is the chaos. Today’s episode digs up the dustiest gem in the post-2000 attic: Manchester, NH — 10/26/10, the last and only time they played Manchester. The bust outs are wild. The smells are suspicious. The band plays “Sloth” and the audience politely gasps.

Somewhere in the background, a guy in a hockey jersey is yelling “IT’S HAPPENING” for the seventh time.

Matt swears “Alumni Blues” was a mistake. Nick accuses someone of using Mango Song in a commercial. There’s a reggae section that may or may not have been a FIRE. And a cop walks by the venue then decides to retire.

Also:
— Mike gets assigned the town of Claremont
— Page is hungry
— Fish is Thirsty
— Trey is looking for a good text chain

We preview what’s coming (hint: the big stuff), unpack a few listener texts, and accidentally start planning a live show from the Staten Island Ferry. Nick claims he's never technically been to New York. Matt insists Times Square was originally a mistake. The truth is somewhere between a MOMA gift shop and a Krazno aftershow.

Also: a suspicious amount of deli talk, a brief detour into condiment philosophy, and a challenge to guess what Mike Gordon’s middle name should be.

It’s all there: Stash with Dave’s Energy Guide tease, Gamehenge galore, Fishman on vacuum, Trey with allergies, and Mike teasing lullabies.

Matt and Nick cross international borders the only way they know how: without leaving Worcester. We’re talking 2/27/03 — a show that makes only once feel like a tradition. Four songs show up that each have exactly one live performance, and somehow none of them are “Destiny Unbound.” You do the math.

Matt says the set was like finding a rare vinyl in your uncle’s basement. Nick says his uncle was the vinyl. Nobody really follows up.

Also in this episode:

  • Someone keeps texting “only once” like it’s a warning
  • Nick tries to trade his shoes for a soundboard

Gone. Lost. Ghosted by the cloud.

But never fear: today's show still brings the heat. Matt tries to explain something with a metaphor that collapses halfway through. Nick keeps saying “we’re doing numbers” even though they absolutely are not.

Also:

  • A half-baked idea for a Phish-themed pasta shape.
  • One listener says their cat threw up during the episode and "it felt symbolic."

Listeners are sending in fake song titles, real conspiracy theories, and one photo of Trey edited onto a block of Vermont cheddar. Nick insists it's legit. Matt refuses to blink. The show never recovers.

Also:

  • Someone thinks Mike’s bass is haunted (again).
  • A rumor surfaces that Fishman bought a weather balloon.
  • We finally hear back from that one guy who tried to crowdsource a tour bus using only BeReal. It went exactly how you think.

It’s International Jams, it’s Mike Gordon’s birthday, and it’s not Cooter’s. Let’s clear that up immediately.

Nick and Matt touch down in the Niagara Falls ’95 show — a rare Tuesday night when the band dropped Mike’s Song → Weekapaug like it owed them money. The show was so fire it blew snow sideways into Canada. Which counts as international.

Meanwhile, Matt goes full Sudbury historian and unearths Mike’s early roots:

  • The Barnstormers (actual name)
  • And the legendary mystery of a keyboardist named Derek who may or may not have been too good

Nick tries to suggest Mike’s Song was written by Trey, accidentally triggers a minor musical crisis, and then spirals into a live re-ranking of Mike Gordon originals:

Also in this episode:

  • Listener call ins
  • lost cat found, collar say HARPUA
  • Nick claims Meat is “the sexual language of the mole people”
  • Matt confesses he thought Son of a Mule was a Mexican folk song until 2019

And yes — Niagara Falls counts as international barely. We just mist it (get it?).

Happy birthday, Mike.

Matt and Nick are back, and this time they brought reinforcements. Please welcome Maya, our first official guest of the week, a certified Goosehead, and an all-around jam band Jedi. She knows the difference between a peak and a plateau. She’s not afraid of a synth solo. And she brought snacks.

Nick, upon hearing the name “Maya,” assumes the actual Mayans are joining the show and starts asking about long counts and prophecy.
Matt spends the first six minutes trying to understand how “it’s not butter” but also “tastes like butter” and nearly derails the episode entirely.
Meanwhile, Maya shows up prepared, focused, and instantly outshines them both.

On today’s show:

  • Goose vs. Phish? We go there.
  • Maya reveals her dream setlist and it’s terrifyingly good
  • Nick accuses a plant of lying
  • Matt mispronounces “Anastasio” as “Anaconda-stasio”
  • Someone sends a listener text that just says: “I’m scared of Peter’s rig”

So here we are, the summit of the sound,
The twenty-five that shook both lot and lawn.
Matt wears a cape. Nick levitates mid-pound.
This final block is where the myths are drawn.

They didn’t make the list, but now they reign.
These songs arrive like thunderstorms in June.
Each track’s a wound, a whisper, or a flame.
Some made you cry. Some left the Earth too soon.

Today’s show holds:
A crowd-wide scream at song #19
Nick insisting “YEM” is technically a soup
Matt quoting Forbin mid-emotional spiral
And a voicemail from Derek threatening to trademark “Set One Closer™”

Also:

  • The final five were unveiled by a child on the back of a centaur
  • 3 caused a blackout in the studio

  • 1 made a guy on shakedown drop to his knees and whisper “they got it right”

Let’s raise a toast to jam charts, fights, and dreams,
To Fluff and Foam, to Maze and Mercy too.

Things have gotten weird on Insuphishient.

We’re deep into the Top 100 Phish Songs of All Time countdown and the pressure is getting to the hosts.

Matt is now only speaking in Spanish.
Nick has developed a stress-induced lisp.

And yet somehow, we’re still counting down the tracks — #50 through #26, the messy middle where the jams are hot, the opinions are loud, and the show starts to sound like the Grateful Dead just peeked around the corner and whispered: "Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart…"

Because it does.

Today’s episode features:

  • A tense debate over #42, which Matt insists is “la canción del sol interior”
  • Nick attempting to say “Fuego” with dignity and failing
  • A listener text that just says “What street is this?” followed by a photo of an actual shakedown
  • A full three-minute detour where Nick demands justice for Bug and Matt responds, “No hay problema, pero no.”

Also:

  • 33 makes Matt scream into a pillow

  • 27 is played backwards through a fish tank while Nick recites Trey’s Wikipedia page with tears in his eyes

  • Someone submitted “A Day in the Life” five times. It didn’t help. (Should have made the list)

We’re not at the top yet, but we can see it. And the heat is rising.

World Wide Wednesday: 75–51 (The Buffet Bracket)

Today on Insuphishient, the countdown continues and the stakes are mild.

Matt and Nick are back with Part 2 of the Top 100 Phish Songs of All Time, covering that elusive Jimmy Buffett demographic range — #75 to #51 — where fan favorites rub elbows with songs that were played twice, then once again in a parking lot, and yet still made the list.

Today’s show features:

  • Cold takes
  • Mike Justice
  • Matt, revealed to be two small men in a trench coat
  • And Nick, once again podcasting naked under a blanket he calls The Eskimo Shroud

Also:

  • Matt sees #66 and laughs so hard he has to mute his mic
  • Nick thinks he’s been disbarred, but it turns out he was just practicing without a license

This list isn’t getting easier. Or truer. Or more legal.

Matt and Nick are kicking off a full week of Phish song rankings — the Top 100 of All Time, as voted by listeners, bots, liars, and one guy who mailed in a VHS tape labeled "Best of 2008"

Today we start at the bottom. Songs 100 through 76.
And no, we didn’t make this list. We don’t know who did.
We found it in a Google Doc titled “Wilson is King”.
So we opened it.

Some of these songs are underrated. Some are exactly where they belong.
Some might start fights. One might summon the wrath of Fishman.
We’re not saying the list is wrong — we’re just saying it’s definitely not right.

Also in this episode:

  • Nick losses his clothes
  • Matt gets emotional about a tune he once saw in a dream
  • We consider changing the name of the show to “The Curtain With a Podcast”
  • A listener text just says, “If Destiny Unbound isn’t top 50 I’m unsubscribing”

This is only the beginning.
All week long, we’re counting down the Top 100 — 25 songs at a time.
And when we get to #1, there better be a parade. Or at least a vacuum solo.

It’s International Jams. It’s Tuesday. It’s songs 100 to 76. Let’s go.

Forget about Thursday or hat happened to that show...

Matt and Nick return with big plans, blurry spreadsheets, and one very real fake album: Turning the Page — a 12-track collaboration project starring Page McConnell and… well, whoever we can legally pretend said yes.

Each track is a genre-bending duet built entirely on rumors, dreams, and vibes.

  • Page x Maxwell — “Laminated Desire”
  • Page x St. Vincent — “Clavicle Tension”
  • Page x Doja Cat — untitled, unreleasable, might already exist in the cloud
  • Page x Himself — “Waiting Room Jam (Demo)”

Meanwhile, we’re still recovering from 4/20 in Portland, The Bg money Phish radio show of the week.

  • Matt says he “blacked on.”
  • Nick kept whispering, "the Files are inside the computer".
  • Someone in section 121 claimed they astral projected.

Also on the ledger:

  • Derek is trying to crowdfund a jukebox that only plays Page solos
  • A listener pitched “Fishman’s Rug Emporium” as a touring side hustle
  • Nick’s been trying to trademark the phrase “Live Laugh Loop”

This album will never come out.
But the merch is already in production.

It’s Big Money Friday. We’re Turning the Page. Let’s go.

The mics are hot (Stolen), the inbox is overflowing (Swollen), and Matt and Nick are about to learn things about themselves they maybe didn’t want to know(Spolin). It’s World Wide Wednesday, and the internet has turned the lens around(Scrollin).

Listener polls. Old posts. Confessions. One anonymous message that says “Nick is just Matt with a hat.” Nobody knows what that means, but everyone agrees.

Elsewhere:
Someone claims they saw Matt at a gas station arguing with a can of Red Bull.
Nick accidentally reveals his backup podcast idea: “Trey’s Beef: A cooking show.”
A Twitter account named "OnFishman" (with a "Hard On") is sending cryptic memes again.
SO:
The internet keeps glitching.
The facts are getting personal.
The feed is watching.

Matt and Nick have returned to the beach. Not physically — spiritually. Emotionally. Maybe legally? It’s 2/21/19 in Riviera Maya, and International Jams is dripping wet.

The night is humid. The grooves are sdank. The moon was high. This wasn’t a concert, it’s a mirage with a setlist.

Matt claims he hates Mexico shows in rhythm. Nick keeps saying “I’m pretty sure I was there” but refuses to confirm.

Also:

  • Stop texting picks of you in your speedo
  • There was no set 3
  • To the woman in the front row, Nice.
  • 2001 or 2022??

We’re sunburnt, unprepared, and deeply invested.

Monday, May 19 — Soundcheck: The Week Is Baked-In

Matt and Nick are back with a fresh batch of nonsense, mild planning, and full acknowledgment that yes, all the usual shows are happening this week. No guest hosts. No mystery themes. Just your two favorite spiraling co-hosts stumbling into another five-day jam of Phish-related chaos.

Here’s the lineup:
Tuesday: International Jams heads somewhere that requires a passport and a disclaimer. Also Brazil??
Wednesday: World Wide Wednesday gets weird and probably breaks the comment section. Plus, Can you Make room for some nubes?
Thursday: This Day in Phish–tory dares to ask, “Was this show actually good?” And more....
Friday: Big Money Friday promises fake business pitches, fake merch, and one real meltdown. Plus the Phish Radio Show of the week.

Also:

  • Matt keeps calling it “Sweepstakes Week” for some reason.
  • Nick has already lost the schedule.
  • Listener texts are already some of the best ideas we have had.

We’re soundchecking the week. We’re back.
Let’s go.

Matt and Nick are back after a week off, and what better way to warm up the mics than with a full-blown Page McConnell birthday celebration episode. Yes, the Chair-"Birthday Boy" of the Boards himself just leveled up, and Insuphishient is here to (barely) hold it together in his honor.

Matt opens with a heartfelt tribute that gets derailed by a tangent about yacht rock. Nick insists Page invented jazz in 1997. Neither can explain what a clavinet actually does, but both agree Page probably knows more than we do.

Plus:

  • They Make Fun of Trey
  • A brief attempt to build a band of four Pages
  • Nick accidentally insults every keyboardist alive
  • A surprise Text Message from someone who claims to be Page’s College Limo driver (it’s not)

The band is almost back. The Summer tour is almost here.
But Page is already eternal.

ARCHIVAL DROP — Insuphishient 2/9/22: The Lost February SessionFrom deep within a mislabeled folder titled “DO NOT EDIT (Nick)”, we proudly present the 2/9/22 episode — forgotten by time, remembered by no one, and somehow still completely intact.

Why are we releasing it now? Because Matt was searching for a voice memo of a dream and accidentally opened this episode instead. Nick insisted we burned it. We didn’t. We just titled it “Taxes.”

Inside, you’ll hear:

  • Matt attempting to draft a formal apology to Page for something that didn’t happen.
  • Nick breaking down a Phish set that, upon closer review, may have been a Shrek musical.
  • A 3-minute argument about whether fish can in fact be fans of Fishman.
  • A listener text that simply read: “IS THIS THING ON?” (Yes. It was.)

There is no context.
There is no structure.
There is only 2/9/22, finally free from its digital cage.

Insuphishient 2/9/22 — unearthed, unedited, and not entirely legal. Let’s go.

If you are new always listen to the latest show first!

View Details

Matt and Nick have unearthed a never-before-heard episode from February 29, 2022, a date that technically did not exist. And yet... here it is. Fully recorded. Never released. Possibly cursed. Possibly divine.

Why are we releasing it now?
Because Nick tried to plug in a sandwich press where the recorder should go and accidentally booted up the wrong hard drive. Matt saw the waveform, gasped audibly, and whispered, "We swore we’d never open that folder."

What’s in it?
No one really knows.
There’s mention of a “Phish on Mars” residency.
Nick claims to have seen Mike Gordon blink in Morse code.
Matt tries to explain what a time signature feels like.
Fishman’s rig gets fully reimagined as a carnival attraction.
There’s a five-minute silence labeled “intentional.”

This is not a re-release. This is a phantom transmission from the leap day that wasn’t. We didn’t hold it back for legal reasons — we just forgot where we put it.

Now it’s yours.

Insuphishient 2/29/22. Available now. Or maybe always. Let’s go.

No sound check this week. Sorry, Not that we didn’t want too! Nick is at the RMV getting a “Real ID” and Matt had to fill in at PETA, (Pasta Enthusiasts Taking Action). With his help they may get that Torchio.

Now On with the show:

We swore this one would never see the light of day. Not because of lawsuits (though those were threatened). Not because of technical issues (though Nick recorded half of it with a harmonica mic). But because the 2/5/22 episode got… weird.

Like, “Is this a podcast or a séance?” weird.

This is the episode where:

  • Matt introduces a theory that Phish is slowly tuning the Earth’s core using first-set transitions.
  • Nick tries to invent a new time signature and accidentally erases two minutes of real time.
  • The phrase “banana glowstick incident” is used casually and often.
  • A listener texted in coordinates. Matt followed them. We’re still not ready to talk about it.

Also, this was the only episode ever interrupted mid-recording by what we can only describe as a sentient lot shirt trying to plug its SoundCloud.

There’s no intro. There’s no outro. There’s just this tape. Raw. Chaotic. Prehistoric.

2/5/22. The forbidden episode. Now available against all better judgment. Let’s go.

Friday, May 10 — Big Money Friday: Catalog Sale, Fan Fiction, and Lies

Matt and Nick are back and Phish is (hypothetically, spiritually, maybe emotionally) selling their entire catalog to the fans. One song at a time. One version per person. You get the rights. The masters. The vibes. And yes, you have to store them in your garage.

The buy-in? $10K per track.
Fishman’s vacuum solos? Slightly more.
Silent jams? Non-refundable.

Matt brings a stack of Phish fan fiction he swears was written during a real setbreak in 2003. Trey is a horse. Mike is an orb. Page runs a haunted bed and breakfast. We didn’t stop him. We just hit record.

Then it’s time for Real Show / Fake Show, the game where the lines blur and the trust collapses. Was 6/12/00 — Moon Goblet Amphitheatre real? Was 7/31/98 — Cow Palace After Hours just a dream Nick had during a nap at Home Depot? You decide. Actually, no—you don’t. Nick decides. And he’s wrong.

The catalog is for sale. The takes are unpaid. The fiction is too real.

Wednesday, May 8 — This Day in Phish - Tory: The Date Is Correct. Finally.

It’s This Day in Phish - Tory and Matt nails it. Like, nails it. May 8. No Tuesday slippage. No accidental recap of a show from last week. Just good, clean calendar work. Give the man a ribbon.

Nick, meanwhile, opens the episode with a five-minute rant about Vermont license plates and ends up revealing his Phish tattoo is actually a barcode for a discontinued breakfast sandwich. The worst part? It scans.

Today we’re going back to 5/8/94 — Bee Cave, Texas.
Yes, Bee Cave. A real place. A real show. The kind of gig where the energy feels like it’s bouncing off the ceiling of a very sweaty post office. Fishman was unhinged (in a good way). Trey might have time-traveled. Or maybe that was the fog machine.

Also, some actual facts about May 8:

Enrique Iglesias was born today in 1975.
WWII in Europe officially ended, 1945.
It’s Have a Coke and a Smile Day, which explains Nick’s morning beverage of Coke poured directly into a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

Was this show historic? Sure.
Do we treat it like it was a turning point in modern music? Of course.
Would Nick trade it for a chili dog and a DMB bootleg? Depends on who’s asking.

It’s May 8. The date is correct. The takes are not.

Wednesday, May 8 — World Wide Wednesday: The Content Abyss

Matt and Nick log in and immediately realize something’s wrong. There’s no tour. No setlists. No Trey in a hoodie climbing a venue wall. Just the two of them. Alone. With microphones. And too much time.

This week’s main topic?
Drums.
Specifically: Fishman’s current setup, his rig, and whether he’s hiding a small apartment inside it. Nick insists the roto-toms have multiplied. Matt brings out a chart labeled “Hi-Hat Tension vs. Emotional Arc.” It’s not helpful. It’s also upside down.

The inbox is dry.
The group chat is sending memes of Goose.
One listener text just said “what now?”

Exactly.

What about the Vacuum???

Tuesday, May 6 — International Jams: Welcome to Camden, England (We Think)

Matt and Nick are in England. Or at least spiritually. Maybe emotionally. They’ve got warm beers, accents that drift mid-sentence, and a Phish show from June 27, 1997 that feels like it was played in a foggy warehouse under a fish and chips sign.

Matt tries to read off a venue name no one can pronounce. Nick tries to figure out if “Camden” is a place or a P.L.A.C.E.... A listener text claims this was the night Page made eye contact with them for “what felt like several hours.”

It’s International Jams. It’s 1997.

Monday, May 5 — Soundcheck: Cinco de May-oh-no

Matt and Nick are back and they’ve traded their setlists for salt rims. It’s Cinco de Mayo. There are margaritas on the mixer, guac in a patch cable, and Jimmy Buffett has somehow been playing in the background for over three hours. No one hit play. No one is stopping it either.

Here's what's coming this week — assuming we recover:

  • Tuesday: International Jams gets diplomatic. We're crossing borders and bending timelines. The show might be real. The location probably isn’t.
  • Wednesday: World Wide Wednesday returns, with listener texts, forum spirals, and Nick trying to convince Matt that Phish should release an album under a pseudonym.
  • Thursday: This Day in Phish - Tory hits again. The past is now, the now is gone, and we still don’t know who submitted that 5/8 in a voice memo but thanks.
  • Friday: Big Money Friday is back, with another NFT-adjacent fever dream, a surprise cameo from Derek’s cousin Eric (who sells custom wristbands), and a licensing war over who owns the phrase “Jam Flu.”

And yeah—Summer Tour starts June 20. It’s not here yet, but it is getting close enough to circle dates and start lying about where you’re staying.

Tequila is talking. So are we.

It’s Soundcheck. Let’s go.

Friday, May 3 — Big Money Friday Is Fully Funded

Matt and Nick are back, and they brought a big bag of cash. And by cash, we mean songs — high-value, high-rotation, high-C Phish songs.

Also, side note:
Imagine a world where Phish sells the rights to individual versions of songs from every show as NFTs. Sorry, NPTs — Non-Pliable Tweezerz? You enter a lottery for $1,000, maybe $10,000, and if you win they keep your money and you own that song. The jam — it’s yours. Legally. Emotionally. Spiritually. One per person.

Anyway...

Today on the actual show, Matt brings the Elisa Pick of the Week, and Nick breaks down how often each track has been played in the last year. Spoiler: it’s a lot. Phish is getting predictable.

Then Nick and Matt deliver the Spring 12-Song Super Set — three tracks each from four of the best shows. No debate. You’ll be listening to this until summer shows up.

It’s big.
It’s money.
It’s Friday.

Thursday, May 1 — This Day in Phish - Tory (Sort of)

Matt and Nick are back and it’s May 1, so naturally we’re covering a historic date: April 27. Four days ago. Why? Because Phish-Tory isn't about math—it's about feelings, vibes, and accidentally deleting the actual episode we planned to use.

It was Hollywood Bowl Night 3, a night people have already started claiming the crowed was “impotent.” Matt and Nick agree... but they are definitely now "impotent" about the news that broke about an hour before set 1.

So, Phish won the Rock Hall fan vote and then got exactly one extra ballot in return. Exactly one. Out of a thousand. Like winning the lottery and being paid in coupons. Like winning a marathon and getting a high-five from the organizer's assistant. Like...well, you get it. We’re fine. Not bitter at all.

Also, today is May 1. Real history:

  • Empire State Building opened, 1931
  • International Workers’ Day
  • Pluto continues its planetary identity crisis

Four days ago counts.

Tuesday, April 29 — International Jams Has Gone Off the Grid

Matt and Nick are live from somewhere in Cabo. Or near Cabo. Or what someone in Cabo called Cabo.

They are definitely international. Definitely in Mexico. Definitely talking about the Hollywood Bowl Night 1 show.

First things first: The sound was huge. Huge sound. Big sound. Loud, but not too loud. Loud in the way you hope it will be when the lights go down and you realize you can still feel your ribs.

Matt says the first set was smooth. Nick says the first set was smooth. They say it again because it was that smooth. Smooth like a mango, Nick says. Matt disagrees but only because he wants to say papaya.

Also, we are definitely international. Definitely. Still international. Very international.

And the Hollywood Bowl? Still huge. Still happening. Still echoing somewhere in the distance. Probably in Cabo.

It’s International Jams. It’s Mexico. It’s Hollywood Bowl Night 1.
It’s all real. It's all happening. Did we repeat ourselves??

Also we borrowed the title to this show from someone's tweet. If it was you let us know and we will share your handle.

So much has happened in the minutes after this episode was recorded and before it "aired."
Most notably, a pathetic excuse for an institution in Cleveland, Ohio broke all our hearts. Matt and Nick will get to it, but probably not until Wednesday. It’s going to be a busy week.

On with today’s show.
Nick and Matt recap the first five shows of this historic West Coast run, getting ready for the final three nights at the Hollywood Bowl.

Tuesday the boys will broast from Cabo, keeping it international.
Wednesday will be World Wide.
This Day in Phish - Tory drops Thursday.

Friday, April 26 — Big Money Friday is circling the lot in a "rented" limo

Matt and Nick show up overcaffeinated and underqualified, clutching San Francisco Night 2 like it’s a fragile investment but definitely believe in it. The show was sharp, flashy, messy. Not San Fran, Insuphishient....

Meanwhile Trey walked off stage like he just paid cash for your soul and didn’t need a receipt.

Nick says it felt like a setlist you’d frame and hang in a gas station bathroom. Matt says it was cleaner than a Page arpeggio(look it up) in unfiltered moonlight.

Then the wheels come off, as they always do.

  • A listener wants to sell NFTs of their ticket stubs but only to people they’ve met on lot
  • Someone’s launching a Phish-themed dating app called Cavern — tagline: “Whatever you do, take care of your heart”
  • Nick had a spreadsheet that shows why Tweezer Reprise needs to be in the same set as Tweezer but never used it because.... Well you'll see.

And yeah, Derek’s back. This time with a cease and desist from the “Tweezer Advisory Council.”

It’s San Fran Night 2. It’s Big Money Friday. And yes — we already spent it. Let’s go.

Thursday, April 24 — This Day in Phish - Tory (Sort of)

Matt and Nick are back with a very short episode. Why? Because Nick spilled cold brew on the master file and Matt’s mic was pointed at a plant the whole time. We move on.

We know it’s April 24, but we’re talking about the San Francisco show from 4/22, because linear time is fake and the setlist hit harder two days later. This was one of those nights where everything felt half a step above in the best possible way — like the band was letting Fishman chase them.

Matt insists the encore was unintentional. Nick swears it was a dare. The room sounded like wood and velvet and distant thunder. No we will not be explaing that.

Also on April 24, so fun facts:
The Library of Congress was born.
The Hubble Telescope launched.
It’s National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day.

World Wide Wednesday rolls in with the Portland show front and center — a night that felt like few others in recent memory. Not sleepy. Not pushed. Just confident. Like the band was already in the pocket before the lights even dropped.

Half way through today's show Nick glitches out for a few minutes. Then Matt explains how to eat a burrito "Rapid fire style..." No one’s right, but no one’s wrong either.

Then the real flood hits.

Listener texts. Voicemails. One handwritten letter with a drawing of Mike riding a dolphin. Someone sent us a full theory that Trey’s rig is tuned to the lunar cycle. Another person claims to have invented glowsticks. Honestly, they made some good points.

International Jams broadcasts live from a suspicious motel room in Vancouver, where Matt insists the Wi-Fi smells like patchouli and Nick is wearing a shirt he bought from a dog.

Tonight we’re diving into Seattle Night 2, but since we crossed the border, it counts. The show felt big. The sound was tight, the way Page’s shirt was tight (not the fit. The vibe). Fishman played like he knew something.

Nick claims he wrote down the entire second set in a dream three nights ago. Matt finds meaning in the strangest of places when he looks at it right (WRONG BAND).

There’s something in the air. Maybe it's momentum. Maybe it’s maple.

Spring tour is in the air but there’s no ticket panic.

Someone is texting in 4.0 setlists that don’t exist yet.

Nick uncovers a forum thread that might actually be a cult (he started it).

Tomorrow, we’re crossing the border for International Jams — heading to Toronto 8/10/22, where "Sample in a Jar" took on a life of its own, and “Theme From the Bottom” became a whole other beast. Plus a visit from our old friend G-O-B-1.

International Jams has touched down in Toronto, 8/10/22, and nothing is behaving. The band opens a groove somewhere around song three and never really comes back. The energy is precise. The transitions are love and light. The crowd might be levitating.

Matt declares the setlist is actually a coded message. Nick keeps yelling “they’re doing it again” without context. G.O.B.-1 speaks only in nods and rhythmic pulses.

Everything’s working like normal.

It’s Tuesday, it’s International, and it’s time.

Matt and Nick are heading back to Cologne, Germany — 2/16/97 — where the band dropped into a set that’s less “let’s warm up Europe” and more “let’s open a portal in a theater and see who walks through.”

Yes, there’s a setlist. Yes, it’s all there. But that doesn’t mean these two are gonna follow the map. Expect theories, mispronunciations, misplaced memories, and at least one moment where Nick confidently says something completely wrong.

Matt tries to keep it together. Nick tries to derail it. The jams do what they do — stretch out, get weird, and whisper something funky in your ear before disappearing into the fog.

It’s 2/16/97. It’s Cologne.
It’s International Jams, and it's sounding real nice today.
Let’s go.

ap tap tap… is this thing on?

It’s Monday, and that can only mean one thing — Nick and Matt are back to kick off the week with another Insuphishient Soundcheck.

Tune in to find out what’s coming your way:

  • International Jams is back (passport not required)
  • We’re diving into This Day in Phish - tory — and yes, we’re still wondering who Tory is
  • World Wide Wednesday? Oh we’re going around the web, baby. Probably too far.

Plus: Matt explains the lifecycle of a possum (unprompted), and Nick shows off his shockingly competent new haircut.

It’s Monday. The mic is hot. The plan is loose.

Rare is the day when Matt and Nick are humbled. Even rarer when they’re in awe. But today? That day has come.

For the first time in Insuphishient history, we’ve got a "Suphishient" guest — and not just any guest. The one and only Elisa Allechant joins the show for a truly special edition of Big Money Friday. Actually though.

Naturally, all structure went out the window. No segments. No script. Just conversation and a healthy dose of admiration for the Winter Queen herself.

Don’t worry — Nick still found time for a 20-minute impression of a chipmunk eating a roll, and Matt tried to explain the real importance of mitochondria in cellular ATP production. So yeah… still us.

It’s weird. You’ve been warned.
It’s Big Money Friday on your favorite Phish talk show.

Today on This Day in Phish tory, we’re heading back to 4/3/98 — Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY — where things got… let’s just say, very 1998.

This is night one of the Island Tour, and the band came out like they had something to prove — or maybe something to unleash. The energy is high, the jams are wide, and the whole vibe feels like, “Let’s melt this building and see what happens.”

Matt and Nick are here to stumble through it all — the context, the confusion, the sheer number of people who somehowknew that in the year 2025, this exact day would fall on National Burrito Day (first Thursday in April, write it down).

Plus: grooves, tangents, and the ongoing mystery of where Uniondale actually is.

It’s April 3rd. It’s 1998. It’s This Day in Phishtory.

It’s World Wide Wednesday, and Matt and Nick are back to bring you all the weird, wonderful, and probably unnecessary stuff floating around the Phish internet this week.

No real plan, Just vibes, headlines, and some mildly interesting yet questionable content.

What as Insuphishient made the fans argue about? Does Nick have a wild theory with no source whatsoever? What’s the most expensive Phish thing you could buy right now, and would you regret it instantly? Two of those things are not in todays shows but maybe next time!

We asked and you answered. Then we answered and you disagreed, LOUDLY...

It’s the middle of the week, your brain is spiraling. Your shoes are unstable.

It’s International Jams Tuesday, and today we’re going back to Germany — Koblenz, 6/22/97 — for a show that’s got one set AND STEVE WINWOOD didn't even come join the band.

We’re not gonna pretend to have dissected every note of this thing. We just pressed play and kind of, well, disappeared for a while. The band hits a vibe and stays there. It's the kind of show that makes you forget what you were doing, what time it is, or whether you've eaten recently. PS Nick is STARVING SQUID!

Matt and Nick are here for it, wandering through the fog with you. There might be opinions. There might be confusion. One of them might start speaking fake German.

It's Tuesday. It's international. And it’s definitely Insuphishient.

Welcome to the Insuphishient Soundcheck.

Matt and Nick are back and (somehow) holding it together. Against all odds, there’s a plan this week, and it actually slaps.

Here’s what’s on deck:

  • A slippery little International Jam from ’97
  • Your hot takes and digital chaos on World Wide Wednesday
  • A deep dip into Phish - tory that may or may not involve Fishman storytelling
  • And on Friday? Well… we’re selling out again, with style

Structure? Chaos? Always. Probably.

The lights are down, the crowd’s buzzing, and Matt already forgot what day it is.

Hey boys and girls, it’s Big Money Friday, and yes Nick and Matt are back!

For the second week in a row, they actually did what they said they were going to do. That’s five days of structure, insight, nonsense, and more than a few questionable tangent all wrapped into a damn good time.

But today is Big Money Friday, and we’ve got something special. Our friends over at Phish Radio hit us with the 411 on a big show they’re airing this weekend, and you already know we’re diving into it.

Matt’s taking the lead on this mostly because Nick was actually at the show and is still emotionally recovering. It happens.

It’s Friday. It’s Big. It’s Money.

Let’s GOOOO.

First of all… who is Tory?? Seriously, we’ve got questions.

Today, your favorite duo since Ham and Eggs is heading to 3/27/93, live from the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, CA. This one’s a burner — the kind of show that doesn’t hold anything back and leaves it all on the floor.

Also on deck: some fun facts about March 27, including International Whiskey Day, and a little something about Viagra getting FDA approval. We’re not making connections, we’re just stating facts.

It’s all happening, and you can’t lose. It’s Insuphishient. Let’s go.

World Wide Wednesday – March 27, 2025

This week’s internet swirl brings us one big, juicy question that’s been echoing across the web, and group chats.....:

Is Phish becoming predictable?

It started casual at first, but the comments piled up fast. Fans debated everything from setlist structure to jam styles, with some arguing that certain transitions are starting to feel a little too familiar. Others pushed back, saying predictability doesn’t mean stale — it means intentional, refined, even comforting.

Matt says the structure gives the improvisation more contrast. Nick thinks it’s time to bring back some chaos. Someone online said the only predictable thing about Phish is that Trey will smile at Page every time the jam gets weird. Honestly? Fair.

Whatever side you're on, it's clear this band still inspires passion. Because if we’re arguing over jam placement and song rotation, it means we still care — a lot.

More on today’s Insuphishient, including a few completely unsubstantiated theories, one or two decent points, and at least one moment where Nick zones out entirely.

Tune in. Turn up. Let’s go.

If you are new always listen to the latest show first!

All the way back in 1992, Phish found themselves in Denmark, and let’s just say maybe something was rotten.

While playing a festival, Trey had a thought. "We could do this, but better." And with that idea, the legendary Phish Festivals were born. True story.

Now, while that’s a big moment in Phish history, let’s not forget Nick’s equally historic contribution to this episode by playing kazoo in the background the entire time. Literally. The whole time.

So tune in, turn up, and embrace the chaos. It’s all happening on today’s Insuphishient!

Hey there, fellow Phish enjoyer.

You did it... and somehow, Matt and Nick did it too!

For the first time in Insuphishient history, they actually said what they were going to do — and then actually did it.

Monday, they set the stage.
Tuesday, they went international.
Wednesday, they scoured the web.
Thursday, they dropped some knowledge with a history lesson on This Day in Phishtory.
And finally, today they wrapped it all up in a tiny little bow and presented it to you — fresh, hot, and ready to enjoy.

You are welcome, myself.

Trey decided it was time for a little education — breaking out some Secret Language lessons for the crowd. If you were there, you know how wild that must have been. If you weren’t? Don’t worry — Matt and Nick are here to break it all down.

Oh, and speaking of dropping knowledge... on this same day, Albert Einstein hit the world with his Theory of Relativity. So yeah, kind of a big day for understanding how time works — both in science and at a Phish show.

Plus, we’ve got the Internet Question of the Day — or maybe two… because let’s be honest, that’s just how things go sometimes.

A little known fact about Phish in the mid-to-late ‘90s is that they weren’t just incredible musicians they were also award-winning knitters.

Rumor had it that the band was attempting to set the record for the Longest French Lace Cloth. While touring Europe, they took turns knitting sections of the "Wrap," which they hoped would cover Fishman during the 1997 NYE gag.

The technique they used was called Pass Slip Stitch Over (PSSO). Ultimately, they didn’t break the record, and the ‘97 gag was changed. However, they had so much fun trying that they voted 3-1 to name their new live release Slip, Stitch, Pass.

Today, Matt and Nick talk about it…

Live Insuphishient Vol. 5 was recorded live on October 13, 2022, in Boston, Massachusetts, a city located approximately 215 miles (346 km) northeast of Hartford, Connecticut.

At the time of its release, the episode received a mixed reaction from listeners, as it was largely a standard Insuphishient recording compared to other episodes from the same era. Historically, the show had been known for unverified claims, unresolved arguments, and at least one unexplained audio glitch per episode, but this particular recording adhered to a recognizable structure, which some longtime listeners found mildly unsettling.

Despite its somewhat conventional format, the conversation takes several turns, including an extended discussion about a topic that was never revisited, and an 11-minute segment in which Nick and Matt debate the practicality of an item neither of them have ever used. At one point, an individual in the room briefly attempts to contribute via megaphone, though their remarks are largely ignored.

Three months later, the hosts would take an indeterminate pause from recording, which was neither officially announced nor explicitly acknowledged. They would eventually return for another episode, which was recorded at a later date, featuring subject matter that may or may not have been planned in advance.

Along the way, they touch on Cities, the weekend’s first cover, and how Mike’s Groove took things in a different direction before the crowd jumped into full “Woo!”a mode during Twist.

Meanwhile, Matt is still fighting off a cold, making his contributions even more unpredictable than usual, while Nick has fully turned his frustration toward NPR. What set him off this time? Does it have anything to do with Phish? Can Matt focus long enough to stop him before this becomes a full-blown rant? (Doubtful.)

Closing out the show, Phish kept things light with My Sweet One before sending everyone off into the night with Carini, which briefly veered into Corinna before hitting its chaotic peak.

With the first show just hours away, they break down what fans are hoping for and what surprises could be in store.

Before shifting to the beach, the episode also takes a look back at 2/26/03a show that still sparks discussion more than 20 years later. From massive jams to standout moments, Nick and Matt revisit why this night remains one of phish's most talked about performances from the era.

Whether you are in Mexico or following along from home, Insuphishient is the perfect warmup for a musical first night under the stars.

Live Insuphishient Vol. 4 takes listeners back to the February 5th, 2022, recording in a cozy Boston studio, a rare departure from Nick and Matt’s usual boisterous energy. At the time, Insuphishient was growing rapidly in popularity, but this episode feels much more intimate, with a mellow and reflective tone that surprised longtime fans.

The second half of the episode is tied together with extended, quiet discussions about the subtleties of Phish’s ambient jams, including a now-iconic tangent where Matt attempts to explain the science of soundscapes while Nick interrupts with increasingly bizarre metaphors (“It’s like a fog machine for your ears!”). The recording’s atmosphere is heightened by a rare moment of dead silence after one of Matt’s trivia questions—a silence broken only by Nick’s laughter when he realizes he has no idea what the answer is.

Listeners on the Insuphishient fan forum consistently rank Live Insuphishient Vol. 4 as one of the most unique episodes in the podcast’s history, often citing it as an example of how Nick and Matt can balance thoughtful insight with their signature chaotic charm.

This release peaked at #127 on the Weekly Podcast Rankings, marking another milestone for Insuphishient. For fans seeking a quieter, more introspective dive into the world of Phish, Vol. 4 is a must-listen.

Live Insuphishient Vol. 3 is the third release in the highly anticipated Live Insuphishient Series, capturing the podcast recorded on October 10th 2021, in Boston, Massachusetts. The episode was part of the final stretch of Nick and Matt’s recording marathon.

The episode is known for three legendary podcasting moments that have made it a fan favorite. The first is an extended riff on Phish trivia gone wrong, which closes the first segment with a chaotic discussion so off-topic it rivals Nick’s infamous 2021 tirade about Phish and gas station burritos. During a mid-show coffee break, Nick and Matt embark on a deep dive into Phish’s most confusing jams, at one point accidentally inventing a new term: “ambient cow funk.” They cap off the episode with a wildly tangential segment where Matt insists Trey secretly invented cold brew coffee, backed by questionable sources and increasingly absurd logic.

In a 2025 interview with Relix Magazine, Nick explained why this episode was chosen for the series: “It’s the perfect example of what we do best—make a mess, clean it up just enough, and let the fans figure out the rest. Plus, Matt accidentally recorded over his audio during the outro, so we had to keep it in for posterity. It’s chaotic, and I love it.”

Clocking in at just under two and a half hours, Live Insuphishient Vol. 3 is the shortest entry in the series but packs a punch. It also marks the debut of what would become an Insuphishient staple: Nick attempting to say “Gamehendge” in a French accent, with predictably disastrous results. Fans won’t want to miss this classic entry in the Insuphishient catalog.

Live Insuphishient Volume 2 was recorded live on September 17, 2021, and is being re-released on 12/13/24 as part of the Insuphishient Archival Series. This episode was hosted in Matt’s basement, located in Insuphishient’s home state of Massachusetts. It marked the grand finale of the podcast’s wildly ambitious 2021 pilot season. Earlier that year, Nick and Matt had launched the show to great fanfare (among their immediate families), and the size of the Insuphishient audience had expanded significantly by the fall, thanks in no small part to their relentless commitment to vaguely accurate Phish trivia.

The September 17 episode captured the quintessential Insuphishient vibe, blending high-energy tangents with unexpected detours into completely unrelated topics. A highlight of the recording was the legendary disagreement between Nick and Matt over whether a hypothetical Phish-themed escape room would require solving puzzles to the beat of “Bouncing Round the Room” Other moments of note included a poorly timed pizza delivery and a spirited debate over which band member would make the best dodgeball teammate.

This episode remains a cult favorite among longtime listeners and marks the first time that beloved Insuphishient staples like “Nick mispronounces something” and “Matt’s mysterious snack bag” appeared in a single recording. Relive the magic of this unforgettable episode and bask in the glow of a podcast truly coming into its own.

Live Insuphishient Vol. 1 was recorded live in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 27, 2021. The episode was part of the podcast's debut season, which featured an ongoing game where Nick and Matt attempted to stump each other with increasingly obscure Phish trivia. The second segment begins with Matt issuing a controversial hot take that Nick could not let go unchallenged, leading to one of the season’s most memorable exchanges.

The episode contains a rare (for the early podcast days) fully improvised segment about Phish-inspired hobbies, as well as the final appearance of Nick’s segment “Phish History Corner,” which debuted earlier that same year and was unceremoniously retired after this episode.

The release is notable for marking the first time longtime Insuphishient staples such as “Nick wildly misinterprets a fact,” “Matt crunches snacks mid-sentence,” and “Tangents that never end” appeared together in a single episode. It also includes the debut of a short-lived alternate sign-off, “We’re just two guys who can’t help it,” which was only used during the early fall of 2021.

Live Insuphishient Vol. 1 is an essential listen for fans, capturing the raw energy, unscripted chaos, and sheer enthusiasm that defined the podcast’s beginnings.
