I tell you, I've known Josh for a very long time. Uh, I love the dude so much. Um, we, you know, we can go a month, a week, or maybe maybe a year not talking and uh just connect immediately. Uh, he is so talented, he's a country music artist. He has got a new album coming out. We'll get into that in a second. But he is so talented. I love his voice, I love his writing, uh, I love his uh his picking and the grinning. Uh Josh Pruner, welcome to the show.

SPEAKER_08 2:05

Oh man, I am excited to be here. Thank you guys for reaching out and having me. It's uh it's been too long. You know, you know. And uh like Chad said, it's like no time passed. As soon as we walk in the door and we see you guys, it's uh it's a really really neat thing that we have, friendship.

SPEAKER_06 2:20

That's that's the kind that you look for for sure. I got an old picture here we'll show in a second, and you'll you'll notice that um time hasn't changed with Josh. Oh, that's true. Him and him and Brooke Brooks here, uh she's uh over there, you can't see her, but uh both of them, they're like uh the fountain of youth. They have uh like Casey Case them.

SPEAKER_08 2:40

Like you never say they never age. And people wonder why I love chat so much. Every time I walk away, I feel better than I have in months. So I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_06 2:50

We we and me met at church, and then I think we did a video together. We filmed some stuff, and then soon after that, you had um a song coming out called Um That's My Cross. Yeah, correct. And uh you came to me and said, Hey man, uh I don't know if you'd be interested in filming that. Would you film that and or help me film that? And I've never shot a music video before, and I was like, sure, thanks for having the confidence in me to even do something like that. And then we filmed it and we have some lovely memories from that, just fond memories from that. Did you do anything after that? Yeah, that was the only music video? Uh we've done so.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

Our daughter's actually in that video. She is.

SPEAKER_06 3:28

I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_08 3:28

Yeah, she is.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

It's crazy.

SPEAKER_08 3:30

My dad will send some other bean socks in the background. He was trying to be in it. I think he was several times.

SPEAKER_06 3:37

Oh, Tammy O'Larry. That's what we called him. Oh gosh. It was. We were uh filming uh the Sears Lebanon at one one location and had Josh walking through the woods with his guitar, and a lot of it when I'm moving the camera, Larry was taking photos, and he would be behind a tree. Yeah, and uh he would have his long leather trench coat. The leather he was the man. He should he's still the man.

SPEAKER_08 4:05

Yeah, he's he should have been in the video because he was the head of the gears. So that you know, that's still on our YouTube channel, so people can check that out. It was uh what was so special about that is because I got to involve some of my friends and they gave me that um I I guess uh you know, trusted in me to pick somebody to do that, and nobody but would have believed that was your first video. I mean you knocked it out of the park. I mean, it they still use it. I think back home in the Missouri Highway Department used that uh long before they adopted the text email driving. That was one of the things that they showed, like when they would have uh every year the junior senior classes come up for like Boys State, or they would show these kids and they would use that video as Oh really? Yeah, do not text and drive. Of course, we've gotten past in the laws and and everything. Um but yeah, that was a tool that they used and and nobody would have believed. I mean, you really did. Yeah, wow, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

I didn't know that they they showed that for that. That's awesome. That's pretty cool. That's really cool. Wow, that is serious. It is that is serious.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

Josh, we always have uh news clips. We call it Is It News. Okay, and so we're gonna share some news clips here. And you know, I go through, I say that I swim through the internet or I jog through the internet or skip, whatever.

SPEAKER_05 6:08

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Um, to find these news stories and it doesn't get better any week, you know.

SPEAKER_05 6:12

No matter what she gets through the internet, it's it's always disappointing to me.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

It's always a disappointment.

SPEAKER_05 6:17

That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

Um, but uh I got some news clips here and I changed the headlines, so y'all gotta figure it out what it is. The first news clip I got is Quick April Fool's Day History. So let's go through some April Fool's Day history because tomorrow, as you watch this today, um, as we're airing it, it'll be airing um the day before uh April Fool's Day. So a couple of April Fool's Day or will it? So origin of April Fool's Day is that some uh historians speculate that there was a change in the calendar from the Julian calendar to the Gregarian calendar, and the people that had the Julian calendar that's the one Caesar used, right? Yes. So the Gregarians used to be a great because they didn't like the way that they were doing the calendar because they said that it should start April 1st, should be the first day of the year.

SPEAKER_05 7:19

Which makes sense why does the yeah why does we start in the middle of the winter anyway?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

So that's but they the the Gregarians are like y'all are a bunch of fools because you so April Fool's Day is because of that, apparently.

SPEAKER_06 7:30

Okay, all right, origin story. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

So did y'all ever celebrate April Fool's growing up? Like, I mean, did you do anything?

SPEAKER_05 7:37

Every day of my life. Oh, yeah. Every day. Dad would get on the roof and put things out and what? Yeah, like for Christmas and Halloween.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

He put April Fool's stuff out? Yeah, decorations.

SPEAKER_05 7:49

Yeah, it looked like a hole in the roof, but it was really just something you put over it.

SPEAKER_00 7:52

Did he really do that?

SPEAKER_05 7:54

I think my dad would get on a roof.

SPEAKER_06 7:57

Hey, speaking, speaking of your dad, we got we got a lot of uh country music here at the table. Obviously, Josh, super talented, like I was mentioned before. Um, but Jared, I don't know if you know, I mean, I don't know if you know about Jared, but uh his family history. His great-grandfather, Ernest Tubb. Mm-hmm. Uh his grandfather, uh, the songwriter, famous songwriter.

SPEAKER_05 8:19

My mom's dad. My mom's father's name was Wayne Walker. You probably haven't heard of him. I don't know. He had some heard that name. And then my dad played for uh Porter Wagner. He was a country singer. Yeah, he was he was the drummer for about 30-something years. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 8:31

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_05 8:31

Isn't that cool? I love this town, man.

SPEAKER_06 8:33

Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. So so small, but you know, it seems big, but there's a lot of connections and stuff. So I thought that was kind of a cool thing.

SPEAKER_05 8:41

I thought I watched your dad play then because we could if you've ever been to the Opry. If Porter was there, then yeah, my dad my dad played the Opry every weekend that they were in town. If they were out of town, obviously not.

SPEAKER_08 8:50

Yeah, it was it was uh point viewing growing up, and I would stay at my grandparents a lot. My dad was a college baseball coach, and so my mom would go with him sometimes on road trips, and I'd spend time with him, and we would watch Saturday night, Grand Old Opry, and Porter Wagner, of course, was a state of the state.

SPEAKER_05 9:03

And he was there a lot, yeah. So Granddaddy E.T. had the had something called the Midnight Jamboree, which was on at midnight, and it was for um people that maybe couldn't afford tickets to go to the Opry, and it was held after the Opry at midnight, so the Opry had ended, and so you could come over to it and it was free. Oh, that's cool. It went on for quite a while.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

Huh, that's really cool. Who did it?

SPEAKER_05 9:24

Ernest Tubb.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 9:25

Yeah, so that's news.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

Yeah, that is news. That is. And that's not April Fool's. No, I know, right? That is for real.

SPEAKER_06 9:32

Good stuff.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

So uh speaking of things like that, because we are gonna talk about some country music, but we also know that you're a huge baseball fan fan. And so uh did you I didn't know this, but uh the world baseball classic that just happened. Oh, it was fantastic.

SPEAKER_05 9:50

Absolutely. It's like the Olympics for baseball. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

The Venezuela one?

SPEAKER_08 9:53

They did.

SPEAKER_06 9:54

Yeah, I guess it's America.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Did you watch this game?

SPEAKER_08 9:56

We did, we watched it, and and the thing was we were down two to nothing and one out in the eighth inning, and Bryce Harper comes up and hits just a bomb, just a majestic. And he's a Venezuelan, yes. Yeah, no, he's from uh the great state of uh Nevada, I think. Yeah, yeah. Okay, plays for the Phillies. But he uh ties it two to two in the eighth inning, and the stadium's going crazy. You just all the momentum's on our side, and then you just think for sure we're for sure winning this, and uh the next inning happens, and that's what's crazy about baseball, right? Momentum is pitch to pitch, it can change so quick. And we bring in a reliever in the ninth, he walks the leadoff guy, steals second, face it. Now we're down three-two, we lose. Oh but the passion to see these, you know, major leaguers, you know, the baseball major league baseball, as you guys know, Ranger fans, right? Uh that 162 game schedule is just a grind. That's brutal. And so to see these guys in a condensed format where they're sprinting everything out and they're playing with so much passion, it's like watching a 12-year-old All-Star team. You know, everywhere they're wanting to win and uh it would and I think what they really got right is uh and I I just read this the other day, it so it was the championship was held in Miami, okay, and the tickets they kept them all affordable. So you actually had fans, you know, a lot of these Super Bowls and whatnot, you get corporate people buy these tickets up, prices are so high. Yeah, this is these are everyday just Venezuelan fans, American fans that are able to buy tickets, bring their families and really get into it. So it was impact, and they were into it. It was it was really good viewing.

SPEAKER_06 11:39

So good for them to have a I did I did see some uh a reel about um the the pitcher from Venezuela, like at the the last inning, he was like in tears. He was like so locked in. That's a rough place to come from, man.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Really is yeah, I wanted to be able to show some clips, but it's all protected, like you can't show anything. But uh, it was I didn't know that I didn't know this, but it's every four years, right? Or something like that. And they've only had been it's only been going on since 2006. And Japan is like dominating.

SPEAKER_05 12:10

Yeah, they have like but they go to school year-round, though.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Yeah, but USA won last year or the last time they did it, maybe, or not I think it was uh not this past time, Japan beat us three What do you think?

SPEAKER_06 12:23

Yeah, they made a documentary about it that had uh Tom Sellick in it. Remember? He was went for the minors and went over there and played. Remember that documentary? Love Tom Sellick baseball. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Is it Mr. Baseball? It was loosely loosely based. No, no, it was like Angels in the Alphabet.

SPEAKER_06 12:37

No, it was tightly based, tightly based on true story. Tightly based on the true tightly based?

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Yeah, interesting. Yeah, well, yeah, it was um it looks like oh 2017. U.S. played uh Puerto Rico.

SPEAKER_05 12:50

Yeah, we beat them.

SPEAKER_01 12:51

We beat them.

SPEAKER_05 12:52

Yeah, yeah, come on. That's old news.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

But only 2006, so why did they start that? Like I this is not something that's been around a long time.

SPEAKER_08 12:58

Well, and what's funny is I don't think I I think it's becoming becoming uh an Olympic sport, but baseball is one of the few sports that's not an Olympic sport. Oh, that's true. And so they started this and kind of trying to get the groundswell to support Olympic baseball. I think it's worked, I mean they've got it figured out. Uh so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:15

Interesting. I didn't think about that, but that is true. That's not so I thought that was kind of interesting. That's really cool that y'all watched it and you know, it's it was pretty.

SPEAKER_08 13:24

Yeah, I think Brooke watched a pitch or two, and she's like, okay, I'm peace out. I'm out.

unknown 13:29

Netflix.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Right.

SPEAKER_08 13:31

I mean, what do you do?

SPEAKER_02 13:32

With zero Venezuelans.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

I started trying to watch Gray's Anatomy, but everybody has an aneurysm. Like every episode, somebody's got an aneurysm. I mean, they gotta say, what's happening?

SPEAKER_06 13:44

Work on people.

SPEAKER_01 13:45

I guess so. Okay, so here's here's another one. Um AI Val Kilner. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 13:52

I know who Val Kilmer is, yeah. I know what AI is.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

Okay, but have you heard about this new thing about what's your favorite Val Kilmer movie? Favorite Val Kilner movie, probably Tombstone.

SPEAKER_06 14:01

Oh, okay. That's a good one. Yeah, I would say Tombstone style show. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

He's pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_05 14:05

He's a good assassin, too. He's also uh Real Genius for me, if I like that. That one real genius. Yeah. Yeah, real genius. He's in another Western too. Was he in Appaloosa with Ed with Ed Harrison? Is that him in that one? It may not be him.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

I don't know. I don't know. He's in Maverick, the new one.

SPEAKER_05 14:21

He's not in Maverick. Oh, so it's like he was great. Oh, I'm thinking, oh, what am I thinking of uh it's got the the card game, they're all pokery stuff. It's got uh James Garner, Mel Gibson is the one. Isn't that called Maverick? Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 14:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:39

No, I'm thinking like Tom Tom Cruise Maverick.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Tom Cruise Maverick.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

Tom Cruise Maverick. Okay, so um apparently that he passed away recently, didn't he? Yeah, but an AI rendered Val Kilner will uh be in a new film.

SPEAKER_06 14:56

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

So apparently there was a film that he was he was starting to shoot or he was a part of, and um the producer said that before his death, Kilner had signed on to perform in the movie, but was unable to because of his health. And his daughter and family members said that they could use his AI likeness in the film. So he's it's he's gonna be in the movie, but it's like keep his legacy going, keep his face up. He's not really in it.

SPEAKER_06 15:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

I guess it's like what was it? Carrie Fisher didn't have a few.

SPEAKER_05 15:32

Yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. So what are your made her look younger? Because Carrie Fisher's still alive. Where she was when it came out. She wasn't. She wasn't when it came out. No, she had passed before it came out.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

She passed before they finished filming, so they had to AI do some stuff with her.

SPEAKER_08 15:44

I forgot about that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

Yeah. So what do you think about that? You think they should do I mean, obviously if he signs off on it, but what are your thoughts with like the music industry and you got like AI and this is you know, I think it's a little different though.

SPEAKER_06 15:57

I think it's a little different from in my opinion than Val Cameron's on signing off or his family signing off or his likeness of being there, then uh someone like me who's not a professional artist versus Josh, and I'm using AI to create music. I see the di you see the difference. I see the difference with that.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

But like he had already signed off on it, right?

SPEAKER_08 16:17

Yeah, that's the kind of the especially yeah, but you could because you you know, someone who just creates this part with him in mind, and he obviously had never known anything about it, and you know, that would seem a little weird to me.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Right.

SPEAKER_08 16:28

But just yeah, you know, the a the whole AI thing, man, it's one of those um it's inevitable. It's coming. And so you you you know, I always say it's uh living in this town and and as a songwriter and and and and a musician, it's uh you you see a lot of bitterness, right? And when you when I got to town, I was part of the young guys I that's how long I've been here. Now I'm the old guy with white hair hair in my beard. But you come in and it's like things are changing. And you know, a lot of the old songwriters were all they did, I mean the town that's that this town was built on guys who just wrote songs and they wrote the best songs, and then you had artists who performed the best songs, right? They didn't write them. And then it became the singer songwriter. So now they're not taking outside songs, right? So those guys that did nothing but write songs because they can't make money on it, right? They're not getting they're not getting cuts, and so it's like this town, so they're they just get so bitter. And so it's like the the one thing I swore was you gotta adapt. It's changing. You can you can choose to be bitter and you know be the old guy yelling at the clouds, or you could just accept it and try and find your niche and you know, use it to your advantage. And that that's where a AI is headed. The way that you're able to do things with that in the music business. Sure. This is uh this is a a little different for me. I hadn't I hadn't heard about this. Yeah, I mean crazy. I would consider it.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

Yeah, that's a good take on that for sure.

SPEAKER_06 17:52

So, like any type of art that whether it's music or video production that we do with comedy and things, uh AI is going to do their best to try to re-replicate or put something out there. Uh it's only a matter of time that it looks realer and real and realer. Um right now, um, people like genuine and real.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

Right, human beings.

SPEAKER_06 18:11

So yes. And so I saw a Tupac hologram once. Yeah, yeah. Yep. So you know, yeah, you know, I'm I'm with you. Like, there's uh we just recently saw John Chris and he was talking about that. That there's a line in the sand that as you get older, at some point you're gonna draw this the line in the sand. Like, I'm not gonna do that. For sure. Like my grandparents were never gonna email anybody. Right. Um, but you know, us like where's the line? I know yours is she will never get in the Waymo car.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

No, not happening.

SPEAKER_06 18:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:38

I that that I've I've seen people play that trick on like their grandparents and send it to them to pick them up, and then they're like, Where's the driver? You know, not afraid to get into it. Oh, wow. But speaking of that, it's like my dad's to this day, he writes a check. He's not he doesn't do online anything. Right. He likes to fill the checkout and hand it to the person. Yeah. Shout out to Pops. Pop.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:59

Yeah, he's a good dude. He's definitely old.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

My dad's the opposite. He's like, bring it all, do all the things.

unknown 19:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Let's go.

SPEAKER_06 21:49

Oh, the one of the biggest, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

But uh So I guess if you're thinking about like who's going to be inducted now, it's going to have to be somebody Like in the age of like a Trisha Yearwood and George Strait.

SPEAKER_06 22:03

Why is he not in there?

SPEAKER_01 22:07

George is my favorite.

SPEAKER_08 22:08

SPEAKER_06 22:40

It talks about the whole meaning.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

It's like up.

SPEAKER_06 22:43

It's like a Pixar up and what I think.

SPEAKER_08 22:45

It is a Pixar up. It gets deeper and deeper the older we get.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

I can't. I can't listen to it. When it comes on the radio, I have to turn it.

SPEAKER_08 22:52

I'm like a run into a tree. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:56

It's crazy. So um but have the country music hall of fame is right downtown Nashville.

SPEAKER_06 23:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:04

I have never been to the Country Music Hall of War.

SPEAKER_06 23:06

I have. Really? I have, but not to go see the the Hall of Fame. But uh when we first moved here, I was hired to do I think I talked to us already, but I hi I was hired to film um a rehearsal dinner, a wedding rehearsal dinner.

SPEAKER_02 23:20

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_06 23:20

And um I my fault for not scouting out the location first. So we got there was at night and it was completely dark and they had it was all candlelit and it was really classy. And uh I got there and I was supposed to film like the toast and the all the speeches and stuff. But at the beginning of it, I told the guy I was like, listen, I didn't I didn't know, I didn't have any lighting. I'll have this camera and I got sound, but it's gonna be really grainy, it's gonna look really bad. He's like, that's okay, man. And I filmed it and it was really grainy and really bad, but he still paid me anyway. Wow, yeah, good on it. And um, that's a lesson learn. No, but I feel bad. I was like, man, I'm but I told him up front, I was like, listen, you don't have to pay me. Um, but I was trying not to get paid because I felt really bad.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

And it was there at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

SPEAKER_06 24:03

Yeah, it was in uh it was uh it was at the top. It was like this big banquet. I guess it's probably where they induct people. It had to be a pricey place. Oh, this guy, oh this this guy was uh lighting in there. They knew somebody. Yeah, he he did too. Right. And it was it was very um I think they had the house lights down, but it was very it was lit very elegantly. Yeah, um, but yeah, was not expecting that.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

So that was on me. Thinking about like country music, like who who was your biggest influence?

SPEAKER_08 24:33

So for me, and when you saw Tony Brown up there, I you know he produced Vince Gill, who to me that is my all-time favorite. I I fell in love with his songwriting singing, and of course it it didn't hurt. My mom just absolutely loved him. It was well known in my house that it he he ever showing up, my dad was just gonna have to say goodbye. I mean he she loved him.

SPEAKER_05 24:53

Wow, but even your dad said if Trisha comes though, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:55

I mean what's his wife? Amy Grant's. Amy Grant's his wife, that's right.

SPEAKER_08 25:02

Vince was a guy. Yeah, mom loved him, and um, you know, the thing is, you know, I always wanted to sing. I I I loved Leonard Skinner and rock and roll, and but I I had country singers as well, Travis Tritt. I would I've w always wanted to sing like that. Yeah. My voice, I was like the only alto in the choir high school, and then they moved me to tenor, thankfully. And I never got down to that baritone like I wanted to be so. I grew up singing Minskill because he was a tenor. That's true. And so, you know, that that's kind of who I clung to. And if he's not in there, he's it's only a matter of time. True for me to do that. I've never met him.

SPEAKER_06 25:37

Haven't uh he's the one that I only one that I haven't met. One person I can see, one person I hope that could be any bluegrass artists, do they get is they did they get to cross over in there, I guess. Yeah, because there's one bluegrass artist right now that I think is phenomenal. Uh his name's Billy Strings.

SPEAKER_08 25:56

Oh, he's fantastic. Yeah, Lee. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 25:59

I say kid, but he's probably, I mean, he's in his 30s now. But he I follow him on on social media and he's just the nicest guy. Very genuine. Yeah. And uh, but he can light lights out, pick the guitar, and sing. Oh, yeah. Great songwriter, uh, all that stuff. So I like him a lot.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

He is real. Well, before we have Josh maybe like do some music, maybe, but we're gonna do some other things. We've got we've got so one of the things that we do on here is we show reels.

SPEAKER_06 26:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:28

And uh, yeah, chat.

SPEAKER_06 26:29

Oh, yeah, I was like, okay. So yeah, it's called What's the Punchline? Yeah. Alright, so uh, you know, Josh is the first time here. Hopefully we can get him, we can beg him to come back and play other songs, and that'd be great. Uh, but just uh let everyone know here is where I go out into the interwebs and I search out for short clips, uh reels or shorts and things, and I find what's funny to me. And then I'll bring them to the gang here, and it's kind of like guess that tune. I'll show a little snippet of this video, and you gotta guess what's gonna be funny about this video. So you'll get an introduction for context. Um and uh but yeah, so uh the first one here is called Death Wish. That's a good movie. Yeah, it's bronzing.

SPEAKER_05 27:12

Death Wish. First one was good, then they just kind of repeat themselves. So we'll see what this one's about.

SPEAKER_01 27:17

It's loading.

SPEAKER_06 27:18

It's loading. Loading they're wishing right now. They're wishing for that death.

SPEAKER_08 27:26

And just bring back to our uh uh conversation earlier about uh never changing. Um sorry, um speaking of my dad, like you go into his living room. First of all, growing up, my mom kept our house. It was like good housekeeping, she was an antiquer. We there the carpet was vacuum to spotless clean. Okay. We lost her a few years back, and my dad downsized, moved into this little farmhouse, and it's the first time in his life he's decorated himself. Uh-oh. So there's like ball hats on the wall, there's bats hanging, and his living room is like blockbuster. He he he doesn't stream, he has every DVD Blu-ray, oh yeah. Wall to wall, my man. Wow. VCR tapes. That's what he's watching, dude. He's not streaming. So Death Wish, I guarantee it's his catalog. Death Wish is to be rewinded and we can get it going. What's Pop doing? He's he's at Walmart in the $10 bin pulling out DVDs that he don't have. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Well, I just saw like recently, like trending with young people is DVDs. They're coming back. So he's like he's making it.

SPEAKER_06 28:31

Yeah, mainly because of all the subscriptions out there. It's so expensive. It's all nickel and dime. So yeah, so it's it's coming back.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

He could probably something. I'm gonna tell him he's gonna be his own blockbuster.

SPEAKER_06 28:43

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_01 28:44

Okay, so here's Pop Buster. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 28:48

Here we go. All right, uh Death Wish. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Oh play now. That's not what I'm playing. Uh-oh. Okay, Amber.

SPEAKER_06 28:55

That's what that means. Okay, so he's got some Nutella. So, what do you think is gonna be what's like torch castans?

SPEAKER_01 29:20

I go into there.

SPEAKER_06 29:21

Yeah, what do you what do you think is gonna make this funny? That's that's the whole point of this.

SPEAKER_08 29:25

So I'm gonna tell you what I think. I think I've may have seen this played on people before. Uh-huh. Where the bathroom prank, where I don't have any toilet paper. And someone come give me some toilet paper, and you grab it and you put the wipe it on, and they're like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:43

Yeah, I've seen that too. They're like, this is Natalia.

SPEAKER_08 29:46

Oh nasty. Why are you eating peanut butter in the bathroom?

SPEAKER_00 29:52

Oh my gosh. Yeah, why?

SPEAKER_06 29:53

What? Yeah. That's a great guy. That is a great guess. Okay, let's see. It's fine. Okay. There you go. Mm-hmm. Thumbs up. Here we go.

SPEAKER_05 30:13

I can't understand him. Little kiss goodbye. And then he touched her back. Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 30:19

No, he didn't.

SPEAKER_06 30:20

So now it looks like she has Pooh on her pants. Yeah. That's a death wish.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 30:24

Disgusting. R.I.P. this guy.

SPEAKER_01 30:29

And that's the last time you ever saw him.

SPEAKER_06 30:31

No footage of him.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

So if you are listening, I hate to describe this, but this his footage. Could you describe it? Came in, she's wearing all white. All white and all white. He gives her a hug, and then as she walks away, he slaps that Nutella right on her bottom.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

And well hearing you describe it's worse than watching the body.

SPEAKER_05 30:54

He slaps that Nutella right on her bottom. You didn't know what to say. It was worse. Yeah, it was worse. It was worse hearing you.

SPEAKER_00 31:03

It was worse. It was worse than having to say it.

SPEAKER_06 31:05

Oh, and I'll also remember with these clips, you got to pick out your favorite one. So you're gonna tell that lady.

SPEAKER_05 31:11

Nobody's gonna tell her. Who's gonna tell her? Oh man. Oh if you see a random person with doo-doo on their pants, are you gonna say something to them?

SPEAKER_01 31:19

I don't think that guy's alive anymore. That was the last I saw. All right, okay.

SPEAKER_06 31:23

Uh the next one is it only takes a second for safety. Now, before you play it, um this this is a um a a montage of s of sorts. It's gonna be of um uh 80s um HR video.

SPEAKER_00 31:40

HR video, okay.

SPEAKER_06 31:41

Okay, okay. It stands for human resources. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you're just uh employees.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

Am I in this? Because I used to shoot HR videos.

SPEAKER_06 31:49

I think it's a good film back in the 90s. You could be in this. I think you're in the uh yeah, you're one of them, yeah. Okay, sure.

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Here we go. All right.

SPEAKER_06 31:58

It's just like a lady thinks she's a part of everyone.

SPEAKER_02 32:04

Are you sure?

SPEAKER_06 32:05

Yeah, it's gonna be great. Uh trust me. Should I say that one more time, Joe? What do you think is gonna be funny about it? And keep in mind is it what I just said is gonna be a montage.

SPEAKER_01 32:15

So Okay, so montage and this is a safety video.

SPEAKER_05 32:18

This is about not sharing your social security number.

unknown 32:21

Right.

SPEAKER_05 32:22

Perfect.

SPEAKER_01 32:22

This guy's getting run over by a forklift.

SPEAKER_05 32:25

He should have gave us their security number.

SPEAKER_01 32:28

That's it.

SPEAKER_06 32:29

No, we we've all we've all been in a in a job or had a job where you've seen some kind of training video, right?

SPEAKER_01 32:34

Yeah, I mean, I used to be, I used to shoot them.

SPEAKER_06 32:36

Right. Yeah, so this will this will bring back fond memories.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

Yeah. I mean, he looks like maybe the copier's attacking him.

SPEAKER_06 32:44

Oh well, yeah. Okay, just play the just play the clip. Okay, it's a good clip. It's so funny. I just found it funny.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

Okay, here we go. We're playing the clip. Um, yes.

SPEAKER_05 32:55

Oh, oh yeah, those boxes have nothing in them. Exactly. Really? Where can I find the application? I don't know. I'm looking for words.

SPEAKER_02 33:19

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_06 33:21

It only takes a second to be safe. You know what? I mean, okay, what's funny about this is that I I picked up some contract work for uh a place here in town, and I had to watch um a video, like an office video to be safe and stuff. And some of these scenes we just watched in there were in that video. And it's I mean, this is 2026.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05 33:46

They haven't reshot them. So are you posting, are you like trying to like, hey, let me update your thing? No, no, no. We don't have to show that. These are blankets, barely touching the hand. We can really show it going through and yeah, no, these are these are times.

SPEAKER_06 33:58

Classics, these are the hits.

SPEAKER_08 34:01

These are the hits. I feel like they should have been a rating before they can do that. You know what I mean? Those with squeezy stomachs, look away. I mean, that hand, I'm gonna have nightmares of that.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

PG 13 HR videos from the 90s.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

I mean, that hand thing, man. That's where I perked up. I was like, this is getting good, right? Holy cow, man.

SPEAKER_05 34:25

Yeah, help me. Yeah, he was like in the Star Wars with the compactor and the garbage. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:30

Like I was watching an episode of Monk.

SPEAKER_08 34:33

Oh man, I find it very funny. It like went from lighthearted to like, oh my, this guy's dead.

SPEAKER_00 34:40

Yeah. I mean, the guy slapping the girl's bottom doesn't seem so bad. I know.

SPEAKER_05 34:44

What the movie is? He wasn't slapping her bottom, Amber. He was putting Nutella on her pants. There's a big difference.

SPEAKER_06 34:51

Man, my my algorithm is way messed up. Oh, I thought that was funny. Okay, here we go. Um this is called arm wrestling. Okay, so show. No, no, not that one, not that one. Close it out. What are you doing? You got clique. Alrighty so there you go. Clique A.

SPEAKER_00 35:08

Oh, I see. There you go. Okay, because it was not in order.

SPEAKER_04 35:10

There we go. Okay, you always lose at arm wrestling. You see, most people just push sideways with their arm, but that puts all the strain on your elbow and makes it easy to get beat. Instead, pull your opponent's hand towards your own shoulder to close the gap and use your entire body weight to lean sideways. Those are artificial teeth.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

It seems so real, Jalen.

SPEAKER_06 35:34

Yeah. So that might be AI.

SPEAKER_00 35:39

Somebody's getting their arm ripped off. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 35:43

Is that what happens? I don't know. Based on the other video I just showed is pretty morbid.

SPEAKER_05 35:46

I think the guy's gonna pull forward just this is all digital.

SPEAKER_08 35:49

This is some made up page. Like he's looking at his opponent like you have no shot. Look at it. I hope he rips his arm off.

SPEAKER_01 35:57

Oh, he's gotta rip his arm off.

SPEAKER_06 35:58

I hope so. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:59

This is an HR video gun wrong.

SPEAKER_06 36:01

I love it. Let's check it out. Let's see what's making fun of. Please. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:06

All right.

SPEAKER_04 36:08

Why do you always lose at arm rest? You see, it's so frustrating. Use leverage. Which puts all the strain on your elbow. Don't want to do that. Instead, pull your opponent's hand towards your own shoulder to close the gap. Use your entire body weight to look at side leverage. Finally, you will be out of energy.

SPEAKER_00 36:28

What is that?

SPEAKER_04 36:32

While he's stunned, tape him to the roundabout and make it spin.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

Hey man. There's no way you see that coming.

SPEAKER_02 36:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 36:50

Amber's gonna describe it for the listeners.

SPEAKER_00 36:51

I am not describing this for the listeners. I'm sorry. Keep driving the water. I'll do it for you, Amber.

SPEAKER_05 36:57

It's an AI generated thing of two guys. One guy straps another guy to a spinning device and then maybe farts in his face every time he goes by. He points his bottom. Oh, yeah. He puts his bottom right in the guy's general face area.

SPEAKER_06 37:12

Yeah. So uh while we're in here, and uh I was talking about like some other things that we're doing for one.

unknown 37:18

Right.

SPEAKER_06 37:20

So before before we get Josh's uh uh before we ask him um and beg him to play a song, uh I got a couple of pictures here. Uh click on guitar one.

SPEAKER_00 37:29

Guitar one.

SPEAKER_06 37:32

Oh my gosh. Look at that. That's uh Josh and Zeke. Zeke is 17. Uh right now. Yeah. Zeke is playing. These Benjamin Button. Wow. But yeah, that's going back in time, isn't it? Incredible. If you look at it, hey audience, look, look at this picture. Yeah. Look at Josh.

SPEAKER_08 37:56

When you can see that beard, there is absolutely no traces of white in that. And there's a lot more hair on top, too.

SPEAKER_06 38:04

It's awesome.

SPEAKER_08 38:05

Wow. That is special. That's good to look at the picture.

SPEAKER_05 38:07

Zeke looks special in that picture.

SPEAKER_01 38:10

Oh, that's my name. Wow, I love it. Zeke's looking up at you.

SPEAKER_06 38:14

How cool is that! Yeah, we then we spanked Zeke because he wasn't playing the guitar right.

SPEAKER_00 38:20

Well, you gave him that haircut. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:22

Hey. That was his punishment.

SPEAKER_00 38:24

Man, who was that?

SPEAKER_06 38:25

Yeah, we were, but we were on a tight budget back then. I had to cut his hair, and all of his haircuts between from zero to whatever, like maybe nine or ten.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Yeah, nine. Bowl cuts.

SPEAKER_06 38:35

Yeah, were like were hack jobs or hack jobs. I mean, I just messed him up. It was tough. Yeah. Because we didn't have any money, man. Yeah, I think. Oh, I get it. Could have braided it. Yeah. We could have braided it. Some bros. Yeah, message. That's great.

SPEAKER_08 38:48

That is, man, that is so cool.

SPEAKER_06 38:52

Love it. I love it.

SPEAKER_05 38:53

So we go way back, didn't it?

SPEAKER_06 38:55

Yeah, probably. Yeah, go way back.

SPEAKER_01 38:58

You were always so sweet to him. Yeah. Come over here and play.

SPEAKER_06 39:02

Yeah, I love it. Matter of fact, before he took off today, I was like, you know who's coming to the house today? You know, Zeke's cool, 17. He's like, who's coming over? He's like, Jaron. Big deal. He's a big deal. I know he's always here. I was like, I was like, Josh and Brooke Pruno are coming. He was like, Really?

SPEAKER_00 39:16

Honestly.

SPEAKER_06 39:17

I was like, yeah, he would, he lit up. And uh he's like, oh, you know, so anyway. Yeah. Super excited.

SPEAKER_08 39:23

You guys have great kids, man. And that's hard to believe that they're as big as they are now.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

It's like that time.

SPEAKER_06 39:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:28

It's like too fast.

SPEAKER_06 39:29

I gave him a little white wall. You see that? I was actually messing it up. I had the clipper got away from me. Yeah, it's like they have legs or something.

SPEAKER_05 39:39

He's even rolling. You think he'd let him?

SPEAKER_06 39:42

Whoa, put the red off on him. Would he let you cut you cut his hair today? Oh no. Oh, wait, wait, wait. But he did one time. Um, it was probably last year. He uh he wanted his head buzzed. Okay. And he let me that, but not to but to do that I'm fine with, but to style it or something. No way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Who would ask you for hair styling?

SPEAKER_05 40:02

Expert. Ain't nobody asking you hair questions.

SPEAKER_02 40:07

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 40:07

How do I get rid of this cul-de-sac?

SPEAKER_06 40:09

That's what they're growing a skulllet. Look all down here, Benjamin Franklin style. All right. So at this point of uh of the show, we have uh what's called show and tell. And that's where we ask our guest uh to bring us uh the audience something and show and tell. And this, my friends, is Josh Pruno. We're gonna ask him to play a song. And um I know he's got a uh a new album uh coming out. Thank you. Uh it's already, I guess, out. Yeah, it's out right now. Yeah, yeah. What's it called?

SPEAKER_08 40:45

Um it is called Memory Making Business. Memory Making Business.

SPEAKER_06 40:49

That's a good name.

SPEAKER_08 40:51

Memory. I did. Well, it's one of those things that uh for the longest time I've told my boys uh, you know, so much so when they were little, they'd be like, Oh, I'm tired of you asking. What what business are we in? We know that memory making business. We make as many memories as we can. Love it. And uh so and it was just one of those when I put together this collection of songs, it just some of some of the songs, you know. Uh I've been fortunate to write songs now since Gali, we moved in 2002. I signed my first little development deal, we moved to Nashville, and uh I've been writing songs ever since. And so some of these songs are older, there's some new ones on the project, but there's uh a couple older ones as well, and and it's kind of like that song. Remember when we talked about Alan Jackson? Like you look at the time frames and uh where you're at in different places in life, and and when you wrote these songs, it the memories just flood back, and it's you know, so many good ones. Um yeah, it just fit. It just felt like it fit.

SPEAKER_06 41:47

So all right, man, can't wait. Josh Pruno is amazing. Love his voice, love his writing.

SPEAKER_08 41:57

Again, I just I I obviously have let too much time pass because uh I uh will leave here today feeling way better about myself than when I walked in. He Chad has a way of doing that. Amber as well. You gotta start doing that to me, man. So I was telling Brooke, this is a song that I I've never played live anywhere before. It was written by a couple buddies of mine, Lou Garrison, Jack Williams, and myself. And uh it's on the new record, so again, memory making business. This is a song called This Don't Feel Like Paradise, it goes on like this.

SPEAKER_07 42:36

I got a room with a view, an ocean too. I got an umbrella drink that I've been sipping. I got a wide sandy beach, couple bare feet, a surf calling me if I'd listen. And there's a tiki hug bar down below. But this deck is as close as I'll go. People come here to take a load off, party till the sun comes up. But I gotta mood like a little black cloud, drifting a long way out in the ball. It's so hard to give a damn. All the coulda, shoulda, was all the might have been Since you left the world, you just stay in the right. This don't feel like paradise. I'm a castle in the same Just tryna make a stain Against the tide of your memory, screaming out loud. As a current pulls me out, right in Captain Fort, he will rescue me. Cause there's a hurricane headed this away. And of course, she shares your name. People come here to take a load off. Party till the sun comes up. But I gotta move like a little black cloud. Drifting a long way out in a go. It's so hard to give a damn. All the coulda, shoulda, woulda, all the might have been. Since you left the world just ain't right. This don't feel like paradise. This don't feel like paradise. Feeling sorry for myself. I've got the beach, but no one else. People come here to take a load off and party till the sun comes up. But I gotta mood like a little black cloud drifting a long way out in a hole. It's so hard to give a damn. All I could've should've all the might have been Since you live the world just ain't right. Since you live the world just ain't right. This don't feel like paradise. This don't feel like paradise. This don't feel like paradise. Let's go. Make some memory business. Check it out. What's the name of that song? Uh This don't feel like paradise.

Dude, all the feels.
