do y'all get high y'all didn't get high on that if i did i wouldn't say it for
public consumption
no i did not get high i did not get i mean i did have a fair amount to drink
that night hell yeah
dude first time i stayed at a hampton inn that had two beds those double beds
in one room yeah
you gotta find an excuse to celebrate whatever whatever one arises but i uh
yeah take us down
okay all right here's here's here's what happened so we're in mar-a-lago okay
so first of all we had
a puppy about 18 months ago okay and i wouldn't even think about it but the
puppy's birthday is
november the 5th which happens to be the day of the election so our puppy's
first birthday is november
the 5th so we're at mar-a-lago yeah with donald trump and donald trump has his
chef send our dog
a birthday cake and i'm you know it's i'm so nervous you know i'm thinking
about the election results and
i'm trying to get you know i'm calling my guys up and saying oh do we have any
any early returns like
what's going on and this like rice dog birthday cake shows up at mar-a-lago and
i'm like what the
hell is going on you know the president it's interesting he he compartmentalizes
things very well
so he just doesn't get like really stressed out he's very stoic about
everything right whereas i
was a little bit more nervous so anyway so polls close i'm sitting there with
like my wife and all
my best friends from back home come down to mar-a-lago to watch except for my
one buddy nate i still give
him crap because nate nate couldn't make the car why he couldn't make the trip
man he had you know he
had to take care of his kid or something like that he's a good dude he's a good
dude
put his kid in a van dude you have to go to that and do what with her huh pay
the valet to help out
i don't know anyway sorry nate never mind i don't know i'm going to trust me nate's
a good dude
he's a good dude he's a fan of yours actually oh give me a hug for me so we're
watching we're watching
the election returns and i'm getting updates because they're it's crazy dude
there's a whole
data apparatus that is feeding information into the central campaign so like
whatever the media
is reporting on we're like 15 minutes ahead of time and we're asking questions
like oh there's
this i'll never forget this there's this one little county in indiana that
produced election results
early and we were like oh my god we did so much better in that county than than
we did in 2020 or
even 2016 yeah and so that's a pretty good sign and what happened is as these
counties trickle in
you realize we're doing way better than we did even in 2016 like oh my god donald
trump's gonna be the
president and i'm gonna be the vice president united states and that was nuts
and i was there
was actually with uh with my wife so we so once you do you put your hands in
your pockets or would you
even do i don't know what i do with my hands man i was it was like it was like
you know uh talladega
nights right i'm just not sure what to do with my hands all night so we go over
to the hotel where
they're doing like the victory celebration and i'm there with like don jr and tucker
carlson and a
few other people who are sort of in the world of politics and they called pennsylvania
and i didn't
realize that like the the tv called pennsylvania and i didn't realize that i
was just talking to my
wife and the crowd goes wild so you hear people cheering and i'm like what the
hell happened and i look
over the tv i'm like oh my god it's official and that was one that was one of
the craziest moments
yeah yeah the feeling at that moment one it was incredible but then you you
have this overwhelming
sense of like oh my god we're the dog that caught the car right and now you
have to do a good job
yeah and it's not you know it's not like some some random job it's like a
really important job and so i
just have this kind of sense of oh my god this is real now we're moving to
another class i mean
shit you're having your dog used to getting cakes for his birthday now you know
what i'm saying like
things are changing man um do you stay where do you stay at because if trump
stays if the president
stays in the white house where do you stay at yeah so you should come visit you
have an open invitation
uh the president actually gives me crap about this because he says sometimes i
think you have a nicer
house than i do we stay at a place we call the vpr the vice president's
residence but it's in the
naval observatory so we've got like probably 40 or so acres of completely
private space in an
observatory yeah and across the street no no bring me in dude peeping tom on
stars and
dude i got a small ladder i'll set that whole neighborhood ablaze picture of
our house dude nobody
will buy a new bra in that neighborhood without me knowing it dude i swear to
god brother the telescopes
are pouring towards the stars but anyway so we we live there so we got three
little kids and like
i said a dog wow and uh it's very cool so we did actually so a couple weeks ago
the president invited
me and my wife we had a i think i think it was my stepmom was in town and the
president invited me
and my wife to stay in the lincoln bedroom and i was like oh that's like really
cool of course i want to
go stay at the lincoln bedroom so apparently though a vice president had never
stayed at the white
house with the president before and so the secret service wasn't totally sure
what to do because
they didn't have like the processes but yeah we went to the white house we
stayed at the lincoln
bedroom he don't stay up late uh we did actually but because it was kind of
scary right i mean you're
like laying in the room there's a desk where you know the president's like that's
the desk where
lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation like i thought it would be cooler
and and more fun but
you're kind of just laying in there and it's like you know there are ghosts
feels like there's ghosts
everywhere yeah it's just a kind of a creepy feeling to be in the literal
bedroom of abraham lincoln
you think about it that dude went to the ford's theater to go see a play left
that room but never
came back right that's pretty that's that's creepy stuff yeah yeah dang dude
speaking frederick douglas
yeah and yeah we've come full circle look i'll just say this there's photos
when he was signing that
you saw frederick in the distance just biggest really happy biggest smile
biggest smile on the joint
um so damn you slept so you might be the first vice president that ever slept
in the white house
that's what they told us i don't you know that's maybe it had happened like 30
years ago but did
y'all stay up late with the trumps and watch a movie or anything like what did
you got play a game
or anything so the white house is a movie theater the president was busy but my
wife and i wouldn't
watch gladiator 2 in the white house theater that's right hell yeah yeah um it
wasn't as good as
gladiator 1 i thought that's just one man's opinion yeah but it's way better
when you're the vice
president watching yeah that's right in the white white house movie theater oh
dude it's shitty but
if you're the vice president watching it when you get to the end of the movie
you're still the
vice president you're still the vice president so that's pretty dope dude that's
right uh so yeah
we stayed up late watched the movie the food's really good so there's like a
fancy chef at the
white i mean it's the white house and he stays up all night well i don't know
how late he stays
but he'll like if you order anything at any time of night they will just bring
it to you oh my god
so i gotta get there thankfully at least we're at kid rocks bars you know it's
almost like i'm headed in
a good direction uh we are at kid rocks restaurant i do want to say that it's a
new restaurant um
well it's a it's a reaffinement of joe muir seafood which is a famous
restaurant in nashville
and uh he graced us by letting us have this room here to do this okay so i want
to thank you thank you
bob ritchie also known as kid rock for letting us have this beautiful space he
told me it only been
open for two days really i didn't realize that yeah yeah oh i was here at a
freaking welcoming
party or something okay i was here last night nice what the dude i was freaking
in here last night
through the welcoming party which was last night because it's only been open
for two days
it's good um so how was the food the food i will say this actually there's steaks
that they have these
little bitty mushrooms and i feel like they were i don't want to say this out
loud but they were too
young to be picked or whatever but um it was really good it's good really
really good is it what you
thought it would be is it different once you got in there are things that
different it's about what i
thought it would be i mean i at this point right i i know the president pretty
well and you know i knew
that he would i knew he had a lot of trust in me and again the role of the vice
president is very
derivative of what the president is doing so if the president has trust in you
if he gives you a task
and just lets you go and do it that's that's kind of what your that's kind of
what your job is
and uh it's been a lot of fun like i've traveled all over the world i think we've
done a lot of good
work for the american people which of course is the most important most
important part and there are
little things that i you know will take some time getting used to so like we
got three little kids
our son just turned eight yesterday actually uh and then we have a five-year-old
son the three-year-old baby girl
and our eight-year-old son is he's a little bit of an introvert i think and so
he doesn't love the
attention but then our like five-year-old son is is a little bit more like me
so he'll like roll off
the airplane wave in saying hello to everybody and um having secret service
around is is kind of a
crazy experience like they're all good dudes and i love them but it's also kind
of unusual to like just
walk outside your house and there's always somebody you know walking with you
that's kind of weird oh
definitely i think i mean we we went back to go chat for you know like five
minutes just before
this thing started and you know i was like don't worry guys theo doesn't have a
gun yeah i hope you
don't know so we're in deep man they checked me somebody kissed me on the way
and i was like that's
part of it one of the secret service no i'm joking but i was like what's your
secret buddy huh you know
Thank you.
