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

I swear I just talked to God
I would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life in exchange for this.

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.

5 Rock Acts We'd Like to See at the Las Vegas Sphere

• David Gilmour

  Gilmour doesn’t perform much anymore, so having him do a Sphere residency would be really special. He undoubtedly has enough of a catalog to warrant such a grand venue. Also, you just know he could really bring an impressive visual experience, too. A Gilmour Sphere residency would continue to make the venue the most in-demand attraction in Vegas.

• Tool

  Let’s just say it: Maynard James Keenan is a f—ing weirdo. (Yes, we do mean that in a positive way.) It would be fascinating to see how he would play to such a larger-than-life venue. As far as visuals go, their existing music videos could be projected on the massive screens, and it would be outstanding! The video for “Vicarious” alone would be trippy AF. Of course, Tool would likely create original visuals for the performance just because they could.

• Paul McCartney

  How do you make a larger-than-life rock figure even larger? Have them take on Sphere! If anyone could do it, it’s obviously Sir Paul. Like with Gilmour, there’s an ample catalog to play with. Plus, he’d be able to sell out countless nights at the venue. Nothing but wins all around for this one!

• Nine Inch Nails

  Giving Trent Reznor the kind of visual freedom Sphere could offer would be interesting, to say the least. It would just be fascinating to see what he would do with all of the technology. He would surely come up with a concept literally only he could dream up. Let’s hope a NIN residency will eventually become a reality.

• Slipknot

  Remember how we noted Sphere is capable of “atmospheric simulations including fog, scent and wind”? Just imagine how Slipknot would utilize scent in a venue. Sure, there’s a good chance it would be gross, but it’s not like you’d want some earthy patchouli incense at a Slipknot show. Plus, their visuals are overwhelming at their shows already. Just think of what they would do with those screens!
