Phish, Drew Carey & A Blender: The Funniest Story in Rock in 2024
Phish and Drew Carey have helped create a news story in the rock world so hilarious, yet low-key sweet, that it gives you hope in the power of live music.
First, Drew Carey Attended a Phish Show at the Sphere
Plenty has been said about shows at the Sphere, but no one has given quite a review like Carey’s. The host of The Price is Right was so moved by his Phish Sphere experience that he took to X (formerly Twitter) and gave the best NSFW review about it.
Carey wrote, “I swear I just talked to God. I would give you all my money, stick my d–k in a blender and swear of p—y for the rest of my life in exchange for this. Bro, I met God tonight for real. I feel like I just got saved by Jesus no lie.”
As if that weren’t enough, Carey was a panelist on After Midnight following his religious Phish experience and raved about it on the show. All of the naughty words have been censored, but the whole tone is still very NSFW.
Phish Gets Word of Carey’s Review
Obviously, with a review as colorful as Carey’s, it eventually made its way back to Phish, who were clearly tickled by it. Four days after his review, Carey took to X to share that Phish actually sent him a blender. They included a note, which read, “Hi Drew! So thrilled that you could be at the Sphere with us! Hope you enjoy this gift, and let’s do it again. Sending mountains of love.”
As if that weren’t enough, frontman Trey Anastasio even signed the blender and included the message, “Thank you, Drew! See you next time. Happy blending!”
It should be noted that Phish didn’t skimp on the blender, either. They sent Carey a Vitamix E310. As of publishing, this model is currently $50 off on the Vitamix website, but still costs a whopping $329.95.
Who’s Playing the Sphere Next
For those hoping to see Phish at the Sphere, unfortunately, they only rocked the venue April 18-21.
After Phish, Dead & Company’s “Dead Forever” residency will begin on May 16 and include the following dates.
-May 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 26, 30 and 31.
-June 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22.
After Dead & Company, it is heavily rumored The Eagles will be next. The latest rumors indicate the band has booked a residency that will stretch over 10 weekends from September through December. The exact number of shows is currently unknown, but the residency is expected to follow the end of their “The Long Goodbye” farewell tour.
