And the Podcast Shines on Vol: 2 22:27

1d ago22:27

22:27

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

It's been one week VOL:3 23:57

4d ago23:57

23:57

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

S.P.A.C. Night 3: It was about You, It was about Me. 17:57

6d ago17:57

17:57

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 placemen…

Life Saving Show VoL: Myfe 14:15

9d ago14:15

14:15

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

The Promise Vol: SPAC 19:25

10d ago19:25

19:25

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

The SPAC Shack Vol: 1 21:50

14d ago21:50

21:50

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 actual…

Some podcasts aren't planed: Volume OZ 15:57

16d ago15:57

15:57

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 any…

Chicago Night 2: 7 below the Number line 22:33

17d ago22:33

22:33

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 th…

Act 1: "Setting the Stage" 18:28

18d ago18:28

18:28

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…

Free Sample Insuphishient Vol II: Edgar's Server Guide 5:00

19d ago5:00

5:00

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…

Big Money Friday: Betting on the Band 26:35

21d ago26:35

26:35

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…

Mann Down 20:33

22d ago20:33

20:33

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 …

I Am the Walrus Charleston Night Two 19:14

24d ago19:14

19:14

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…

Monday, July 14 — Live from the Bottom 24:11

25d ago24:11

24:11

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 hour…

Big Money Friday: Hot Pockets & Antelopes 22:20

28d ago22:20

22:20

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 toda…

Thursday Party Time: Thumb Wars & Freedom Rock 21:17

29d ago21:17

21:17

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. …

Colorado Night 2: The Mic, the Myth, The Guyute 17:26

29d ago17:26

17:26

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…

Austin Night 2: Runes, Pickles, and Slim Hopes 21:19

1M ago21:19

21:19

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 pl…

July 2: Austin 1: The Heat Was Sentient 19:43

1M ago19:43

19:43

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'…

The return of the FREE SAMPLE: “Back to Insufficient” 19:11

1M ago19:11

19:11

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? O…

A Free Sample from the Only Podcast Legally Banned in Seven States 4:43

1M ago4:43

4:43

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 …

SNHU Night Tre: T.C.T.A.W.H. 17:41

1M ago17:41

17:41

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 meditati…

SNHU Night 2: N.H.B.E.B. 18:23

1M ago18:23

18:23

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 questio…

Wednesday, June 25 — T. S. S. O. E. 19:18

1M ago19:18

19:18

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…

Big Money Friday Presents: Tour Opener Vol 3 20:20

2M ago20:20

20:20

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 ener…

Thursday, June 19 — We Made It to Manchester (where is everybody) 20:04

2M ago20:04

20:04

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 yel…

Soundcheck: Welcome to New York (Kinda) 24:33

2M ago24:33

24:33

Matt and Nick pull into the city with full hearts, empty notes, and a faint whiff of pretzel truck exhaust. It’s Soundcheck Monday, and the week ahead is so packed even Fishman would need a second donut dress to hold it all. We preview what’s coming (hint: the big stuff), unpack a few listener texts, and accidentally start planning a live show from…

Worldwide Wednesday: Darien Lake ‘93 19:55

2M ago19:55

19:55

We’re nine days out from tour and things are getting deranged. Matt’s got a secret parking spot, Nick’s got a four-state theory for band members, and together they’re deep in your earbuds breaking down August 7, 1993 — the molten, maze-laced Darien Lake show that may or may not include a minor satanic ritual. It’s all there: Stash with Dave’s Energ…

Tuesday, June 10 — International Jams: Only Once, Again 22:14

2M ago22:14

22:14

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 i…

Friday, June 6th — Big Money Friday: Lost Episodes and Big Feelings 16:00

2M ago16:00

16:00

Matt and Nick are back and somehow Elisa is still speaking to them. Big Money Friday hits the feed with a shorter-than-usual episode — not because the takes weren’t hot, but because the entire Thursday episode vanished like your car keys the one time you really needed to be somewhere. Gone. Lost. Ghosted by the cloud. But never fear: today's show s…

World Wide Wednesdays are back with a real/fake show: VOL 8 22:02

2M ago22:02

22:02

The signal is shaky. The mic is hot. And the texts? Out of control. Matt and Nick are back for another World Wide Wednesday, and today’s episode is what happens when you leave the internet alone for too long. Listeners are sending in fake song titles, real conspiracy theories, and one photo of Trey edited onto a block of Vermont cheddar. Nick insis…

International Jam's flavor of the week is: Mike Gordon’s Birthday Blowout (Organic coffee serves in a dope sneaker Local sourced from a no-kill Wook Shelter)) 23:18

2M ago23:18

23:18

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. Mean…

Insuphishient presents: Maya, Mayans, and Margarine 23:03

2M ago23:03

23:03

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 …

Shakespear presents: Big Money Friday top 100 Phish songs 025-001 21:06

2M ago21:06

21:06

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…

Insuphishient presents: Songs 50–26 21:31

2M ago21:31

21:31

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 opini…

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…

Insuphishient Presents the top 100 Phish songs of all time: 100 - 76 22:09

22:09

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”. …

Big Money Friday is "Turning the Page" Volume 1 20:47

3M ago20:47

20:47

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. …

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.” …

International Jams presents: Mexico Vol infinity 23:03

3M ago23:03

23:03

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…

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 lin…

Happy Happy to the ONLY PERSON who has EVER done a piano solo like he was being hit in the head by a COMET (Page) 22:38

3M ago22:38

22:38

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 tan…

Nick and Matt will be back this weekend to celebrate Page’s birthday! But for today here is a classic International Jams. So good we almost had to call it international James! Matt sends his love.

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 op…

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 wron…

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 becaus…

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…

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 wheth…

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 ven…
