Who stole Thom's vodka cup?

Jake is a Phish fan. Matthew is a Phish skeptic. Naturally they're tackling the Phishiest possible release, 1994's A Live One, which features a 30-minute song.

Special Guest Rich McLaughlin (Sirius XM, I Heart Radio, WFUV, Amazon Music) joins us on a journey through “Time.” On this month’s Hidden Jukebox, we discuss REM’s Out of Time (1991) as well as what made the band great, what made the band fall apart, and why Rich is so damned obsessed with these guys.
