Drew Carey Spins Funky Jams at Phish New Year’s Eve Afterparty as DJ Blender

After saying that he would stick his “dick in a blender” to see Phish at the Sphere again last April, Drew Carey has continued his reign as Phish Fan Supreme by DJing an afterparty for the band’s recent New Year’s Eve concert under the apt name DJ Blender.

The afterparty was hosted at Hill Country Barbecue in New York following Phish’s fourth and final show in their New Year’s Eve run at Madison Square Garden. Hosting alongside Phish radio personality Tad Cautious and DJ Cooley, the Price Is Right host delivered a set of funky jams, donning a t-shirt that said “I Don’t Know the Price of Anything.”

In fan-uploaded footage, Carey can be seen spinning Lettuce’s 2018 track “Sam Huff’s Flying Raging Machine.” Watch the video below.

Carey has become perhaps the highest-profile Phish fan of the past year, after essentially listening to them for the very first time at the Sphere in Las Vegas. After that experience — and his infamous blender remark — the band thanked him by sending him a signed blender.

The next week, Carey said Phish’s show at the Las Vegas venue made U2 — who performed there previously — look like a bar band.

Meanwhile, Phish will perform their annual run of shows in Riviera Maya, Mexico later this month. In the spring, frontman Trey Anastasio will embark on a 20-date solo acoustic tour (get tickets).
