Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
How are you, sir?
Good, man. How are you doing?
Very nice to meet you.
Yeah, nice to meet you, too.
What is it like running for Vice President of the United States?
How crazy is this experience?
It's pretty weird. It's pretty weird.
You know, I was just telling you this earlier,
but the first time that I've been in a public spot without Secret Service in
the room is right now.
So I'm, like, looking around for these guys because I'm used to just having
them.
It's three months, right?
So he asked me the Monday of the RNC convention, which I think was June 15th,
and I really didn't know that morning.
I thought that he was probably going to pick me, but I didn't know for sure,
probably 60-40, basically.
And so I had no idea.
I get the call around 1 o'clock at Milwaukee time at the RNC convention.
I'm hanging out with my kid.
Another one of my kids is in the other room asleep because, you know, our kids
are young, so they nap still.
And he makes this call, and he's like, hey, do you want to be my Vice President?
I was like, oh.
Was it literally just like that?
Well, actually, what happened is I got a text message from a staff member on
his team that says,
you just missed a very important phone call.
And I don't know, you know, because there's so much inbound traffic that I
think it just went straight to voicemail.
So I call him back, and I'm like, hey, sir, what's going on?
He said, J.D., you just missed a very important phone call.
I'm going to have to pick somebody else now.
You know, so I'm about to shit a brick here.
And then he says, no, no, I'm just kidding, obviously.
I want you to be my Vice President.
And the funny thing is, you know, my seven-year-old is in the background, and
he has no idea what's going on.
And I love that, right?
It's one of the good things about this.
He has no clue what's going on.
He's like, Dad, who are you talking to?
He's talking about Pokemon cards, right?
And, you know, Trump hears my son in the background, and he says, well, who's
that?
And I said, that's my seven-year-old son, Ewan.
He's like, put him on the phone.
And I'm just anxious for him to get this statement out, because in my mind, it's
not final until the statement is actually out.
And he talks to my son, and he reads the statement that he is going to put out
on Truth Social announcing that I'm the VP nominee of the Republican Party.
And he's like, what do you think about that, Ewan?
And my son, Ewan, is like, oh, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
And then he gives the phone back to me.
He's like, I have no idea what the hell's going on.
He doesn't even know what that means.
Yeah, he has no idea.
And, of course, I remember this story because, in particular, the Madison
Square Garden rally of a few days ago was the first time that my son actually
met Donald Trump.
So he'd spoken to him on the phone but hadn't actually met him until the rally
at MSG.
And my seven-year-old really wanted to tell him a joke, and he remembers this
phone conversation.
And so he tells him this joke.
And Trump kind of chuckles but also is probably judging me because it was a
somewhat inappropriate joke for a seven-year-old to tell.
But, yeah, here we are.
Well, that's the only ones that seven-year-olds remember.
That's right.
Well, it's like, you know, I have terrible language.
It's one of my many flaws.
But I was raised by my very working-class grandmother.
And she was actually, very interestingly, she was a very devout Christian.
But she also had, you know, a language that would make a sailor blush.
And so I talk like that because I was raised by this woman.
Those are fun ladies.
Those are fun ladies.
And she was a great, she was, she was awesome.
She had an amazing, she was an amazing person, a huge personality, right?
We called her a force of nature because she was such this big personality.
But my wife's rule is, you know, basically he's only allowed to cuss when he's
telling this one joke.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Yeah, so he tells that joke all the time.
Exactly.
He says it 14 times a day.
Yeah.
Early on, I told my kids, you can swear in front of us.
But don't, just don't swear in front of other parents.
Right.
And don't swear for no reason.
Right.
Well, because they judge you, right?
The other parents judge you.
How old are your kids?
Well, the youngest ones are 14 and 16, and I have a 28-year-old.
But when my 14-year-old was two, we were on a skiing trip.
And we were about to leave.
We packed up all our stuff.
But her helmet, we forgot to put her helmet away.
I go, oh, we forgot to put the helmet away.
And she just looks down at the helmet, and she goes, shit.
And me and my wife is just like, oh, my God.
It was so funny.
There's just something adorable about a two-year-old that doesn't know that you're
not supposed to say shit.
No, absolutely, man.
And just had that cute little face.
Well, I mean, my four-year-old, he was three at the time.
We were going, because, you know, we live in Cincinnati, but then I'm a senator,
so we spent a lot of time in Washington.
And I was taking my four-year-old solo, he was three at the time, on this trip.
And we're on, like, a Delta flight.
We're in the back.
I'm kind of wondering, because, you know, I've got bedhead, and I'm thinking to
myself,
do any of these people know that I'm a senator?
Because I look like shit right now.
And my, sort of, get away with it.
I don't think that anybody notices who I am.
And we're sitting there, and my son drops one of those Biscoff cookies in
between the seat.
And he looks at me, and he says, Dad, well, fuck.
And, like, 12 people instantly turn around and look at me.
And it's like, oh, Senator Vance, your son has such colorful language.
And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm such a terrible father.
And these people are all judging me.
Yeah.
But it's, you know, but you're right.
It's so cute.
It's adorable.
Yeah, it's so funny.
But, yeah, I've got to do a little bit better about that, because they're going
to start judging me.
People need to relax.
They do.
Little bad words every now and then.
It's good for you.
I think it's good for you.
I think it gets a little steam out.
I agree.
It's good.
Was there any part of you that was like, do I really want this job?
Because it comes with so much.
It comes with not having the Secret Service in the room.
It comes with this enormous change of your life, this insane responsibility.
Everybody's watched presidents, especially, age radically.
Oh, yeah.
Dramatically.
Yeah.
And everyone but Trump.
Trump is kind of amazing.
Yeah.
Dude just didn't age.
It's so strange.
It's like it barely affected him.
Everybody else is like they're getting radiation sickness.
And he gets out of there, he looks exactly the same.
I can't wait to do it again.
Let's go.
We're going to win big.

This episode of the Joe Rogan Experience is brought to you by Call of Duty.
You know, when a new Call of Duty drops, everyone's trying to find a way to
squeeze in those extra hours of gameplay.
I get it.
Life is busy.
But sometimes you just...
Hey, Joe, it's the replacer.
Yeah, no, you.
Hey, I'm going to take it from here so you can enjoy some Call of Duty Black Ops
6.
Great.
Now, listen up, folks.
Life can be chaotic, but you shouldn't have to miss out on the latest Call of
Duty just because you've got, I don't know, responsibilities.
That's where I come in.
I will handle the boring stuff like work, chores, even podcast ads.
So you can dive right into the fight.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is out October 25th.
So dive in because I've got your back.
Remember, I replace you, Blade.
It's not simple.
Man, the replacer always gets it done.
Seriously, though, if you're hooked on Call of Duty, this is your time to jump
in.
Head over to callofduty.com slash Black Ops 6 to get in the game.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 available now.
It really is amazing.
I mean, one of the first times that I sort of spent like a large amount of time
with Trump was in 2021.
And I was thinking about running for the Senate.
So I was down to Mar-a-Lago talking to him.
And my initial reaction on seeing him was like, oh, my God, you look really
good.
You actually look healthier now than you did six years ago.
Normally presidents age very, very badly.
You know, yeah, I mean, look, I definitely thought, okay, obviously this is a
big, it's a big thing, right?
I might, you know, talked about it with my wife a lot because she's like a, she
was a working corporate litigator.
She's got a very big career.
She's much smarter than I am.
And we definitely, it was a marital conversation, in some ways a tough one
because, you know, even though, yeah, I'm a senator, we're still pretty
anonymous, right?
Like we can go on vacation or we were until this happened.
We go on vacation.
Yeah, you'd have people stop and ask to take a photo or say something, you know,
nice.
But most, most people, if you went somewhere, didn't know who you were.
Right now, it's, it's literally impossible for us to go anywhere.
What's that shift feel like?
Like you're 40 years old, right?
So, yeah, I mean, like, right, like this, just off a cliff, complete different
life.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
I mean, it's, it's, it's been, I mean, look, in some ways it's really nice
because people come up and say really nice things to you.
They tell you they're, they're, they're praying for your kids, they're praying
for your family.
It depends on where you go, though, doesn't it?
Like if you go through Brooklyn.
Oh, no, sure, yeah, no, of course, yeah.
Go through like the super woke, blue-haired parts of Brooklyn.
You know, it's interesting.
When we were in New York for the MSG rally, a few people saw me and flashed the
universal New York sign for we're number one, right?
So, you know, they like us even in New York City.
But it's, it's definitely weird to just not be anonymous at all anymore, right?
And that's taken some getting used to.
I think part of it is also, let me just give you an example.
So Sunday morning, we want to go for, this is the, this is the event in Madison
Square Garden.
We had a morning where I didn't really have anything going on.
I had a couple of phone calls.
So we want to go for a walk with the kids in Central Park.
And normally, you would walk out of your hotel and walk into Central Park and
hang out with your family.
Now it requires, we have to notify Secret Service.
And so then they have to scope out an area where they can make sure that it's
going to be properly safe.
And so instead of walking out our hotel room and taking a walk in Central Park,
we hop in a car and show up in some random part of Central Park that's 20
blocks away.
And then, of course, as soon as we get out, everybody's like, well, who the
hell is this?
Because there are 14-car motorcade there.
So the lack of anonymity is definit
