Joe Rogan Experience #2106 - Kid Rock

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Trained by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
I love that chain.
What is that chain?
It's my tattoo.
It's my logo.
American badass.
It's pretty badass.
That sounds like stoner talk.
It is.
It is stoner talk.
Most of my conversations are stoner talk.
Like high level.
Dude, he used to be Tom Petty's weed dealer.
In a sense.
Like he would come to town.
He married a girl from Saginaw, Michigan.
I forget her name.
Great, great girl.
And they would come to, you know, outside Detroit where I lived.
And I'd get this call like, hey, can you get Tom some weed?
And I'd be like, fuck, I'll take him some weed.
So I'd call some of my brother's friends and get some weed.
And I'd be like, this is fucking awesome because I love Tom Petty.
I didn't really know him.
So I'd go up there and drop the weed off.
And I'd be in his dressing room and like, he'd be like, so what's up, man?
I'd be like, nothing.
And I'm like, we have nothing in common.
This guy's so fucking high.
I might have been tuned up on a couple beers or something.
And I'm like, well, that sucked.
I guess I'll just enjoy the music.
Was this before or after you were doing music?
Oh, this was when I was a big star.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
No shit.
Yeah, I was all excited.
And you're hanging with Tom Petty.
Not really.
I was just taking weed.
Trying to hang out with him.
You know, that's how Tom Petty died.
Somebody got him some pills.
Oh, it was fentanyl?
Yeah.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Yeah.
He, I don't remember what his injury was, but he was hurting.
And a roadie got him some fentanyl.
Terrible.
Yeah.
That's how Prince died, too.
Yeah.
I remember, I've heard that in the elevator.
Same thing.
Pain.
We all know people that have.
Mm-hmm.
It's a travesty.
It's a horrible thing.
Well, let's just go right at the border.
Yeah.
Well, it's the border, but it's also the opioid crisis that was created by the
Sackler family.
I mean, those motherfuckers just got a giant percentage of the population
hooked on heroin.
It's some evil shit, man.
Those fucking people are still running around, too.
Yeah, in case you were ever thinking about quitting drugs, fentanyl should seal
the deal.
Yeah.
That should seal the deal.
Yeah.
I know a lot of people that has.
They were like, you know, I was still an experimental cocaine user, this, that,
and the other.
They were like, when that shit came up, that was it.
It's like, you know, I had some friends tell me they were going to buy a
testing kit, this, that, and the other.
I was like, yeah, that's probably time to move on.
If you're buying a testing kit to make sure you don't die, you probably should
reconsider your options.
Might want to revisit whiskey.
Yeah.
Weed's not bad.
Weed and whiskey are, it's a good combination.
You don't really, you don't want to go down that road.
Although, I've heard it's awesome.
Not fentanyl, but cocaine.
I have not tried it.
I've never done it.
But everyone I know who does it tells you not to do it because it's awesome.
I had a good run.
I haven't too many problems.
You know, in the older days, you know, it's kind of just following the handbook
of rock and roll.
Yeah.
It's like your chapter 14, get some blow.
Blah, blah, blah.
We had fun.
Nobody, I've seen people get all fucked up and lose their minds on it.
But I know quite a few people in my position like, okay, we had some fun when
we were younger and, you know, at some point, you know, kind of a weekend
warrior type thing.
Don't let it interfere with business and engagements and things you have to do.
I can't say I was batting a thousand, but pretty good average.
You did pretty good.
Yeah.
Considering it all worked out pretty well.
I'm not advocating for it at any level.
I don't think anybody is.
That's my honest experience.
Like, hey, you know, I came out okay.
That's the thing.
There's people that will tell you they're weed advocates.
There's no, like, coke advocates.
There's no people like, coke fixed my life.
I never got anything done.
All of a sudden, I was doing coke and starting businesses.
Is weed fixing lives?
We can fix people.
Depends on who you are.
I don't know if you're sick.
Yeah, for a guy like me, weed's a good drug.
A guy like me, weed just, like, chills you down.
My brother's a huge weed smoker.
Yeah.
And I'm always, and he'll always be, like, you know, for golfing or some shit.
And I'm drinking my beers, having my fun.
I'm always, like, you know, you drive.
And I'm always, like, maybe you fucking shouldn't be driving.
He's just fucking stoned out of his mind sometimes.
And I'm, like, yeah, I don't like this.
I'm a little nervous.
And I'm tuned up already.
Yeah.
For some people, weed makes you nicer.
Calms you down.
Makes you a little more sensitive.
A little more compassionate.
Yeah, everything affects people differently.
Yeah.
I've drank tequila three times.
Only three?
I've been to jail three times.
Do the math.
Kid Rock, no drink tequila.
So what do you think tequila does to you differently?
Ah, it just makes me want to punch you right in the mouth.
Really?
Oh, fuck.
That's it.
The Mexican influence.
Hey, Kid Rock, nice to see you.
Like, wham.
Like, what the fuck's the matter with him?
What tequila?
Like, what change?
I have no idea.
What does it do?
It just makes you hyper?
It just makes me fucking hyper-violent fucking.
You know, it could have been a combination of maybe those few times I drank and
I was just
in a headspace where, you know, you can be in different headspaces when you're
doing
different things.
And you can blame it on the tequila.
But I kind of have a rule that I really try not to, like, you know, I've really
mellowed
out in the last 10 years or so, but I really try not to get tuned up unless I'm
in a good
spot.
Yeah.
In a good mood for good people.
Right.
They don't want to be, like, you know, all worked up, you know, after watch Fox
News for
six hours and just fucking ready to fucking, you know, slay the beast and start
pounding
whiskey and go to the club.
Dude, if you watch Fox News for too long, you will think it's the end of the
world.
Oh, I do.
And it is.
It might be.
It really might be.
Did you see the fucking Tim Dillon thing that I posted yesterday?
Yes.
It's legit.
Yeah, no, it's not brand new.
Is that the gay comedian?
Yeah.
He's fucking great.
He's hilarious.
But he wrote, he had a picture with a girl.
He said, I'm getting married.
The homosexuality thing was just a phase.
And RFK Jr. writes to him, she's a beautiful lady.
I can see how she un-gayed you, Tim.
The guy's running for president.
Fucking great.
Amazing.
It's awesome.
In that sense, it's an amazing time.
He don't scare me.
No, he shouldn't scare you.
He doesn't scare me.
He should do the opposite of scare you.
Yeah.
It should scare you the opposition to him.
Because if people listen to what he says and you pay attention to what he says
and you actually
research what he says, he's telling the truth.
Mm-hmm.
It's just, we've been fucked over and lied to for so long that he seems like a
crazy person.
Look at that.
She's a beautiful angel, Tim.
Easy to see how she un-gayed you.
Un-gayed.
Fuck, I learned something.
I haven't been here five minutes.
My new favorite word.
Usually I'm just using gay inappropriately all the time.
You know, like, that's fucking gay.
You know, someone's like, oh, you're so insensitive.
They'll be like, that's so un-gay.
Yeah.
It used to be a thing that we would say.
Something's gay.
Or it used to be, imagine, like, from the time of the Flintstones.
The Flintstones was we had a gay old time.
Do you remember playing Smear the Queer when you were a kid?
I never played that.
What is it?
It's just, you give somebody the football and everyone tries to tackle them.
Like, in grade school, you just ran around.
We didn't even know what queer meant.
That's the name of the game was Smear the Queer.
I never played that.
Did you play that, Jamie?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Sure.
Definitely did.
You're from the Midwest?
Yeah, he's from Ohio.
There you go.
They didn't have that where I grew up.
Where'd you grow up?
Boston.
I mean, I'm sure they had it.
Fuck, I would think it was invented in Boston.
I lived a fucked up life.
Not fucked up, but just my high school years was all martial arts.
It was all from the time I was, like, 15 until I was 21.
All I did was train and compete.
That's a lot of discipline.
Yeah.
A lot of obsession.
A lot of discipline and obsession, but it was very weird socially.
Like, so I went from that to being a stand-up comedian, which is, like, the
complete opposite ends of the spectrum.
Hanging out with maniacs who were doing drugs and staying up all night.
Just complete polar opposite.
So I missed a lot of stuff.
You got a lot of money now you can make up for it.
Fast track it.
Probably get it all done in, like, two years with the loot you've made.
Yeah.
I found that to be a problem at times for people.
Money?
No.
They didn't experience, you know, a certain coming-of-age things, whether it's,
you know, crazy chasing girls, you know, that whole thing.
Doing drugs.
You know, just being kind of wild, you know, stealing people's statues out of
the yard, whatever crazy shit like that you do when you're young.
And then they reach this point.
A lot of it with athletes, because they were so focused in their training at
such a young age.
And then they get to that point where they get money, and they're like, I want
to taste it all.
That's true.
And then they kind of get fucked up.
Yeah, you can lose your bearings.
That's true.
That is the case with a lot of athletes.
A lot of athletes get fat, too.
They just fuck it.
It's over.
A lot of fighters.
Yeah.
Because a lot of fighters are always dieting.
Well, you get that big muscle, and then it's so hard to fucking maintain.
You get older.
Yep.
You start to lose your lean muscle.
You know about all that stuff.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, two to ten beers a night doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Yeah.
Well, it's also like, I think with athletes, especially with fighters, the rush
of competition is so extreme that the regular world just seems so dull.
And then going back to the regular world, you don't feel like you have a real
purpose anymore.
You're not training for this big event that takes place every few months.
Like coming back from the military.
Yeah.
Like a lighter version of that.
Yeah.
That's a big problem with guys coming back from the military.
Big problem.
Huge.
Suicide.
And no coaching at all.
Nobody tells you what to do.
They just let you back in the world, and you're like, fuck.
Yeah.
Seen it too many times.
Mm-hmm.
Too many times.
Too many times.
So, what's it like being the dude who took out Bud Light?
Let's get right to it.
Let's get right to it.
We were going to bring a few cases in here for you.
Switch sunglasses.
Fuck, I'll drink it.
I don't give a shit.
Two kinds of beer in this world, cold and free.
I like them both.
Man, I was just having fun, to be honest with you.
I mean, I was pissed, but it wasn't like it was going to wreck my day, let
alone my life.
I was just kind of like, what the fuck are they doing?
Well, you were the straw that broke the camel's back.
I became the face of it, yes.
I'm not the Pied Piper to sit around and think like people follow what Kid Rock
does.
I just became the face of it.
Yeah, but they kind of do.
They kind of do.
Listen, man, when you got so upset that you were fucking machine gunning.
Throwing a tantrum with a machine gun.
They want to let guys play girls sports.
That was the end.
That was really it.
If there's one moment that they look back on and fucking go, shit!
I've talked to them about it.
I know you have.
Yeah, you were there at UFC fight.
Yeah, and I met that dude, the CEO.
Brendan.
He's a good guy, man.
We've become friends.
He's a good guy.
He's a great guy.
After five minutes of talking to him, I'm with Trump.
I'm out there in Dana's green room.
I go to Trump.
I go, see that dude behind me?
I go, that's the CEO of Bud Light or Anheuse
