Play That Rock n’ Roll

13/10/2025

Play That Rock n' Roll is proud to present our 100th episode (!), which is an interview with comedian NICK PRUEHER, co-founder (and co-host) of the FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL.

We begin this interview by talking about what Nick was doing before the Found Footage Fest— which was mainly working at the Late Show with David Letterman. He tells some great stories about interacting with celebrities like Richard Simmons, Darlene Love, Bruce Willis, and even President Bill Clinton. He also shares his memories of working on the episode that featured Warren Zevon’s legendary final appearance.

From there, we move onto what he’s doing now with the Found Footage Festival. He talks about how the show got started, the comedy bits he’s most proud of, and some of the incredible and unique people he’s met by doing this show. And we even dive into the challenges they face when it comes to protecting their intellectual property, as well as the comedic art of video editing.

The Found Footage Fest resumes their tour later this month, and it will continue into 2026. Go see them when they come to your town!

Good riddance. His "ministry" (grifting) is what made me lose interest in Journey altogether. And the headline is a bit misleading, Neal said on Twitter than Jonathan will stay on through 2026-27. Given that he is 75 now, I don't think he's "quitting" per se... he's just retiring at an appropriate age.

It will be interesting to see what Neal Schon will have planned for Journey after 2027.

Jonathan Cain has quit Journey, leaving Neal Schon as the only classic member of the band remaining.

According to Schon, Cain chose to leave the band to focus on "his ministry."

Schon says Journey will continue on: "I'm nowhere near done! Journey has so much more life ahead!"

I've got to hand it to Miley Cyrus. Ever since her "Plastic Hearts" album, she's been on a serious hot streak.

I used to absolutely hate her music when I was younger, but she is definitely my favorite pop artist of the 2020's.
