Partly Time!

January 09, 2019 09:20 - 1 hour - 85.7 MB

The boys are back...Vic and Dan that is, plus Phish returned to the stage for 4 nights at MSG. Title credit goes to Mr. Chillwig, the purveyor of fine content. The fans loved the four nights, two of which were stellar and the New Year's performance (not a gag) was amazing! The band returns to Bonnaroo, and let's just say the day on social media was fun to watch, but trust us, you're gonna love the shows non-Phish fans. Too many shout-outs to mention, but we announce a new partnership with Pe...

December 19, 2018 13:23 - 1 hour - 55.9 MB

In honor of two great #47 pitchers (Tom Glavine and Jack Morris), as well as our own little league all-star pitcher/co-host Dan, today's episode is dedicated to them. We discuss Phish radio, #AskTrey and offer the audience an opportunity to forward their unanswered questions to us for answers. Dan's conspiracy of how Trey's acoustic tour came to be is solid, and the boys saw Week at the new Met in Philly...it was loud, brown and people were talking! The Tweezer tonight is Red Rocks 8/6/96. W...

We snuck one more podcast in before Fall Tour break to bring you an interview with Lauren Lareau, who is running for State Representative in Pennsylvania's General Assembly. Lauren shares a little about her campaign, her interactions with voters, how close this race will be and how important Bucks County, PA is in the overall political landscape.

The first Peak Builders Network conference is now on-sale for 10/17 at the Hampton Inn in Albany, and the lineup looks sick ::shameless self promotion:: The Tweezer tonight is from 12/12/97 in Albany, and it is a perfect example of why you all need to STFU at a show! Hope you enjoy...while STFU :)

September 19, 2018 08:20 - 1 hour - 76.3 MB

I didn't know...that we had anything to talk about, but we did, I think. NYE tour announcements are starting to drop, but nothing from the boys from Vermont, yet.

Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of 9/11, to which we pay our respects to all those who lost someone in that tragic event. Jamiroquai, Bob Weir, Mac Miller, Elon Musk, Talib Kweli and Paul McCartney make the discussion rotation, and don't miss our riveting bagel conversation - toasted w/ cc or not toasted, that is the question?

August 23, 2018 08:20 - 1 hour - 64.1 MB

It's no easy road, this struggle and strife... We are back in the seat after a 1-day delay due to Dan's illness. No worries, he was not at Curveball and he did not drink the water. Our show kicks off with Show of Life from Dicks 13' and finishes with Tweezer from Starlight Theatre from 8/22/12. Mother Nature threw us all a curve last weekend, but many used the opportunity to explore new horizons once the festival was cancelled, including a last minute music festival. But don't fret fans, bec...

On the #PeoplesPod we like to thank the fans, and that's how we start this off. We are so appreciative of the notes everyone sends, ideas for new discussions and the awesomeness that oozes from our pores! A new Phish book is out, a new UM album is out and Steve and Dan both have tickets to see bands other than Phish. Plus, don't miss out on learning why we both agree that college (for the most part) is a scam. All that, plus the 6/9/00 Tweezer for 31 minutes, can be yours if you come on down...
