Tonight during the Thursday Night Football game between Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, there were plenty of moments to unpack and discuss but we’re only going to shine a light on one brief moment of joy, especially if you’re a Phish fan. UPDATE (12/12): Tweezer was used tonight!
Before a commercial break and heading into a pause with a slow-mo replay, the band’s “Chalk Dust Torture” was used as bumper music sending fans straight to Twitter for the “DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THAT?” moment.
Check it out below.
