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).

Plug in. Press play. 

It’s Big. It’s Money. It’s Friday. Let’s go.

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”

The energy is unstable. The tape is rolling.
Let’s go.

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.

It’s Insuphishient. Summer is heating up. Let’s go.

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. 

The Phans are stirring. The pickles are spinning.

It’s Insuphishient. Let’s go.

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.

WHAT IS THE SECRET MESSAGE IN THE COVER ART???

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

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.
Let’s go.

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.

Let’s go.

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.

Just kidding, SNHU night 2! "Lil's little adventure in Gamehendge"

Let’s go.

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.
Let’s go. Or let’s nap. Either way… it's Insuphishient.
