Joe Rogan Experience #552 - Kid Cudi

whenever whenever talk you talk to a rapper or any dude who has like a name
like kid cuddy you
never know am i supposed to call you kid like immortal technique comes on the
podcast all the
time to this day i don't know what to call him i love that dude i love it he's
cool as fuck i love
talking to him but i never know what to call him do i call him tech do i call
him immortal mr technique
so i had to ask you before this podcast started i said do i refer to you as kid
cuddy or do i call
you scott um i introduce myself to other human beings with my government name
scott i don't walk
up and say i'm kid cuddy um but no like i get mr cuddy sometime and that's a
little weird it makes
you sound like a stripper or something mr cuddy mr cuddy mr cuddy is cool if it's
like a chick
yeah yeah that's uh it's it's a weird there's not a whole lot of white dudes
who ever pulled off the
like the nickname like carrot top weird al right weird al's always weird al it's
always weird al yankovic
yeah it's no hi i'm al yankovic it's weird al right p dud p diddy puff daddy
prince whatever
a lot of black guys pulled it off i mean you just keep going forever but like
there's a small
handful of white people that have ever pulled off the nickname
i thought you're going to talk about captain kirk i was captain and teniel the
captain and teniel the
kid goes deep into the 1970s drawer the captain and teniel wow that's a
terrible band from back
way back in the day terrible by today's standards you know but back in the day
people loved them do
you remember the captain and two no no i don't remember what they sang i
shouldn't even say they're
terrible like because i'm being just a dick because i don't remember any of
their songs they're probably
sitting there like hey what's the big idea i believe one of them is dead
captain i think
one of them got like some serious anorexia though i think the woman got serious
i might be mixing my
stories up my from 1970s bands that i barely pay attention to but you want to
talk about some people
that got some stories you know the people that that grew up during the 60s and
were like famous during
the 70s yeah those are that's that's a strange little slice of american life
right there oh yeah you can
imagine it was just a whole nother way of living you know uh i think there was
a lot more communication
amongst human beings yeah for sure like just you know just casual conversation
it wasn't like weird
nowadays if you even just say hi to someone walking down the street it's like
what the
fuck yeah it's like you being polite like what the fuck did you say to me well
i think two things are
going on one people are just nervous because there's a lot of news stories
about terrible things that
happen all over the world like most of what you get in the news is terrible
things yeah so people always
worried about terrible things when they meet strangers and then two everybody's
fucking texting and
emailing and the amount of time you spend person to person has probably been
greatly reduced yeah
yeah for sure and and and i'm i'd support you know the healthy dose you know brian
just put up a picture
of the captain now we know nice i need one of them caps my my buddy miles he
has one of those caps
he rocks all the time that's a good cap if you're just letting everybody know
you like to party
miles teller miles teller he wells he wears a cap like that all the time so
that's one of the
things if you walk around with a captain's hat on and you're like a sober guy
you're an
asshole no you know miles parties he gets it in that's my guy shut up one of
those dudes who
doesn't smoke weed doesn't drink they don't do total straight edge but you're
wearing like a captain's
hat you're a fucking idiot yes but there's something if you're like some hunter
s thompson
dude with a captain's hat on you're on masculine wait got a bottle of whiskey
in one hand a bottle of
vodka in the other that's i want to talk to that dude for real yeah i'm hanging
out with him yeah
there's certain outfits that you're allowed to wear if you get fucked up yeah
like the way stanhope
dresses like if stanhope was like a sober guy that he can't pull off that
outfit you know it's just
he's hammered all the time so he's wearing this bright checkered leisure suit
or whatever he wears
yeah it's it's every city he goes to a thrift store and tries to find the the
most shittiest
i guess suit you could possibly find well yeah stuff that doesn't fit him all
the time it's like barely
fits him he's awesome so uh dude you're a you're a young man you're doing very
well everything is going
well for you this is uh exciting time in your life yeah man i'm trying what's
it like to be kid cuddy
uh it's um it's cool man i feel like that's intrusive no no no i mean um you
know it's nothing
too spectacular i'm mostly like trying to stay creative and uh hang around
family a lot get family time in
with my mom and my daughter and so like my life is split between that and you
know creating you know
it's a good balance i've found the balance now at 30 yeah at 30. dude you're
living the dream yeah it's
cool man i can't complain even on the days i complain i realize i can't
complain you definitely can't
complain no i mean to be a professional entertainer is probably the luckiest
job of all time like you made it
well it's really deeper than that i think to just have a fan base you know that's
supportive is a real
ultimate you know blessing because you know guys get record deals all the time
and you know some of
their music is you know but then how dare you it's just like you know but then
when you have
you know you have a lot of artists that come and and you know end up having
like a grassroots
following and they have a fan base that rides with them the entire career that's
that's man that's a
that's a blessing on top of a blessing you never know because today's audience
you know these kids
like you one minute they hate you the next like you one minute they hate you
next and to have a
loyal fan base in that type of climate and it's awesome yeah that is the thing
that it used to be
like if you were a rapper or any kind of entertainer you were only as good if
you were a comedian
you were only as good as the people got to see you out there like it was really
difficult
to build a fan base if you weren't on something if you weren't on a television
show or if you weren't
you know a weekly a regular guest like the tonight show or something like that
it was really hard for
someone like build a fan base yeah but today because of the internet rappers
singers musicians i mean
everybody comedians all they can kind of keep tabs on and just communicate with
people like directly yeah
yeah and i i feel like i kind of was at the the beginning the early stages of
that wave of you know
just you know another way for people to find music online new artists you know
music that you probably
wouldn't hear on the radio yeah stuff that's quality quality you know music and
and now you know things
are way more advanced even since when i started you know when i dropped day and
night that was 2007 i think
the only platform at that time that i had at my disposal to upload music was myspace
you know and
that was literally how the world discovered my voice you know through my myspace
music page
how did myspace drop the ball so hard they had the world by the balls they had
everybody i think um
you know everybody i don't think i don't even think they've fallen off like
that i just think that
there's just there's just so much there's just so much out there there's
definitely there's an
overabundance of you know it's like for every facebook there's five more other
facebook's well
there's always new ones coming out too it's got to be hard to figure out a new
thing though like what's
the new thing does it involve video what's going to be the new thing memes and
emojis i think it's just a
combination of everything just like it's a one-stop shop to just anything that
you can you know dick
around on the internet with it's possible through this app you know yeah
probably right i think it's
also have you seen that new thing um that uh unbox therapy did a video on oh my
god lewis from unbox
therapy did this video of this new iron man tech if you go to his page go to
unbox therapy iron man for
real i think it's called it's a youtube video that he put up it's insane what
does it do you're putting
on these gloves or these uh goggles rather that cover your cover your eyes sort
of oculus riff style
but you see everything i would see you clearly but in front of you there's like
icons and things that
i can move around i can open things and close them and you do it all with hand
gestures so like as
i'm looking at you if i had these these goggles on i'd be looking at you and i'd
see these floating
geometric objects like boxes circles and you can open them up and close them
and move them around
and they stay places like minority report style oh like remember he's doing
that on the screen yeah
but you're going to be able to do it like in the air right like when when tony
stark put that helmet
on he could see a bunch of in front of him that's going to be like reality and
in his words in lewis's
words he said this guy wants to make the world the desktop the world is your
screens let's take away
screens and the screens are going to be the world you put this thing on and you
see through it and
there's no more screens anymore everything you do you do through this this is
his ultimate goal now
there's a like do the glasses look all like gnarly like you know some super visor
virtual reality yeah
you can see them they're right up there they're pretty big right now but so was
the first phone
yeah that's true remember those home telephones those giant boxes they used to
have to crank
call people up and they used to oh wow put cables into holes and you remember
all that
that was what a that was what an old phone used to be like but you know what
this type of technology
you wouldn't want you know walking down the street or like on your everyday
that easily to access i mean
people wouldn't you know i mean like it's kind of like not that weird that it's
kind of big and
something that you got to like be stationary with at home yeah i think that's
actually saves saves the
world in some small way for a few years yeah until like you know apple figures
it out to have it on
your phone or something but they're gonna they're gonna make it in like a
google glass form for sure
well the google glass is is like just the smaller version of that yeah except
you can't you know you
can't you swipe and stuff but you can't really like manipulate the image in
real time have you played
with it at all yeah i got one i got one it's uh you know it's cool it's i mean
i'm not going i went
out in the streets a couple times and i really noticed i actually tweeted about
this i tweeted about
it because it was so funny to me my experience going on public with google
glass is people just really
thought that i was either taking a picture of them or filming them and that
when people were really
concerned because there's no like recording lie and you could tell that there's
a lens there you
know and especially once you most people ask you what it is and you say google
glass people have
heard about it they're like are you filming me and i thought it was interesting
you know because this
is something that like you know you might see a celebrity you know freak out
because they're getting
photographed or filmed trying to you know live their lives and do something
with their families and
try to have some privacy and then the public really doesn't understand why they
might freak out
and why that might be intrusive but you know it's it's a funny twist for me to
walk in a place
and all of a sudden someone's like oh are you filming me or whoa whoa like what
are you doing
and it's just like no i'm not filming a random person that's intrusive because
i understand th
