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 e...

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...

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. Spirituall...

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 ...

It’s World Wide Wednesday and Matt and Nick are back to break down Night 2 at the Hollywood Bowl. Better song selection? Absolutely. Chompers? Everywhere. And the fog? Not the only thing that was thick, if you catch our drift. If you’re wondering what other people thought of the show, you’re in the right place. It’s Night 2. It’s the Bowl. It’s World Wide Wednesday. Let’s go. If you are new always listen to the latest show first!

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 smoot...

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 internationa...

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 ...

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 lettin...

It’s Wednesday and the inbox is glowing. 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. Voicemail...

It’s Tuesday and we’ve fled the country. 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 dre...

Nick and Matt are back and you don’t even care that you could be listening to new Phish right now. We break down night one. Codename Snoozy. Took some turns, landed on its feet, kind of. Matt had questions. Nick took a nap. Night two? Untouched. Codename Fire. Tuesday’s problem. We’re not ready. You’re not ready. The week’s schedule is upside down and we’re reading it out loud anyway. It’s Monday. It’s Soundcheck. It’s Insuphishient. Let’s go. If you are new always listen to the latest show firs...

Matt and Nick show up with a briefcase full of bad ideas and no exit plan. Big Money Friday kicks off with a pitch for a Phish branded Peloton that only works When you are listening to "Sand." Then it somehow gets worse. Nick wants to license the phrase “vibe rotation” and sell it to Spotify. Matt built a deck for a silent lot auction platform that only accepts crystals as currency. Then there's also a brief exploration of what it would mean if Fishman ran Etsy. No conclusions. Lots of dead air....

Matt and Nick are back with Phish - Tory , digging into 4/17/23 , Berkeley. A west coast evening with just enough breeze to make your hoodie worth it. The show? It happened. The people? Present. The vibe? Alive. Nick insists the second set was structured like a haiku. Matt says that makes no sense and then accidentally proves it. There’s a brief argument about pine pollen. Someone says “intentional drift” and refuses to explain. Meanwhile, back in time: Ben Franklin died on this day in 1790. Wom...

Wednesday, April 16 — World Wide Wednesday continues Matt and Nick jack into (not onto) the feed and immediately regret it. World Wide Wednesday is bursting at the seams. The takes are loud, the jokes are faster than light (and love), and one listener swears they saw Page at a rest stop eating a banana with a fork. 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 ...

Mike Check (get it?) It’s Soundcheck Monday , and Matt and Nick are back, ready to kick off the week with some serious momentum, its' probably from the coffee. We’re feeling out the vibes, getting the engines running, and preparing for what’s shaping up to be a wild one. 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 frien...

It’s Tuesday and G.O.B.-1 joins us on the map of Canada. 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 lik...

It’s Big Money Friday and Matt and Nick are back to wrap up the week in true Insuphishient fashion They hit every show they said they would, somehow stuck to the plan, and now it’s time to let it breathe a little Today they’re talking a little Phish Radio, a few merch ideas that probably shouldn’t exist, and the return of a very controversial segment involving snacks and band rankings Also Matt has thoughts about fish on hats and Nick may or may not be trying to contact the SiriusXM team through...

It’s a college arena show in the middle of a wild spring run, and the band’s in that very specific 1994 mood. High speed, Got weird? No interest in playing it safe Matt and Nick try to make sense of whatever was in the air that night, talk Buffalo logistics, and spend a little too long on the topic of arena acoustics and vending machines Also it’s National Siblings Day , Hug Your Dog Day , and apparently International Day of Pink , which may or may not explain the vibe in set two It’s April 10 I...

It’s World Wide Wednesday and Matt and Nick are back on the digital highway with no map, no seatbelts, and definitely no plan They’ve been poking around the Phish internet and found just enough content to make you question everything There are lists There are takes There is a post involving a chalkboard, four Trey quotes, and something called “the Cactus Doctrine” Texts are read Theories are floated Nick says “metadata” twelve times in a row and still isn’t sure what it means It’s the middle of ...

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 trie...

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 ?

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 st...

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 so...

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 today...

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 ...

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 ...

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 comf...
