Insuphishient: Your Daily Phish Podcast Fix

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...

Yeah you know me.

But seriously yes. Yes I am. In the food flavoring world and in the Square Garden variety. Same heat. Different kitchens.

Night one is in the books, and night two. Whatever. Time is a flat circle at MSG and we are only allowed to talk about one show at a time. Sorry, we do not make the rules.

So here is what you actually want to know. Was it a good show? Was it a great show? Did Page roll up his sleeves??

Tune in and ...

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...

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 Pa...

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 rememb...

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 ...

Rare is the time that Matt and Nick talk about anything not Phish related. Today is no exception.  As we get closer and closer to the last shows of the year, Insuphishient is going to look back on some New Years shows of the past.  

Basically ranking 2009 - 2019.  You are welcome. 

Then Nick has a new game and let's face it, that is usually the best part of your week (Trey). 

So Tune IN and Turn it up man.  

It's Wednesday an...

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 disappeare...

Well kids, you did it. There are only three Fridays left in 2025 and somehow today is one of them. How are Matt and Nick celebrating. By phoning it in. Not really. But also really. If that makes no sense, good. Listen and it will all become clear. Clear like a bone broth. Kuckle Avenue style.

Speaking of bone broths. Have you made your own yet. We have. And today Matt delivers the do’s and donts of turning bones into liquid wisdom. ...

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. Impe...

Here is a cleaned up, sharper, Insuphishient version of what you wrote. No padding. No drift. No dashes.

It has been a long time coming. About two weeks actually. Here is the good news. Nick and Matt are back. And on this lovely Tuesday you get to tune in. No funny stuff. No monkey business. Just two guys who know very little about anything except Phish and somehow built a show around that exact limitation.

Also the quest for the mus...

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.

What keeps pulling us in is the way she uses TikTok to build an actual community. Real people. Real connections. She does it effortlessly, the same way Nick effortlessly gets every single fact wrong. Or says the Opposites. Or collides with his mic. Or both.

So tune in and...

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...

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 ye...

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.

Th...

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 th...

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...

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 F...
