On this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks about drugs and rock and roll. He talks about how he got started in the music industry, how he was a weed dealer for Tom Petty, and what it's like to be a rock star when you're high on weed. He also talks about the recent death of Prince and how a roadie got him some Fentanyl. And he talks about why he thinks coke should be legalized in the United States. It's a good one, and I hope you enjoy it! Logo by Courtney DeKorte. Theme by Mavus White. Music by PSOVOD and tyops. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

00:03:24.000I'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.
00:03:36.000Don't let it interfere with business and engagements and things you have to do.
00:03:40.000I can't say I was batting a thousand, but...
00:05:25.000It just makes me fucking hyper-violent.
00:05:28.000It could have been a combination of maybe those few times I drank it, I was just in a headspace where, you know, you can be in different headspaces when you're doing different things.
00:06:46.000It should scare you the opposition to him.
00:06:47.000Because 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.
00:06:53.000It's just, we've been fucked over and lied to for so long that he seems like a crazy person.
00:08:48.000No, 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.
00:09:43.000Well, 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.
00:09:54.000And then going back to the regular world, you don't feel like you have a real purpose anymore.
00:09:58.000You're not training for this big event that takes place every few months.
00:14:41.000One of the things I told them was, I was like, I go from the outside looking in, guys, as a friend, you know, somebody who doesn't want to see this brand hurt and destroyed anymore.
00:14:55.000I was like, but I don't want to hold your head underwater and drown this fucking company, put people out of work and that shit.
00:15:00.000It's like, you got the message and it's clear.
00:15:02.000I wish people knew these guys running the company because they're great fucking guys.
00:15:06.000But I said, you know, just a percentage of these fucking trolls on the left and on the right, they're like, I'm so empowered by the internet.
00:15:18.000I'm going to piss and bitch and moan and, you know, I have a voice.
00:15:53.000Like, you know, when they cross that line and signal to people like myself and many others that they were okay with this transgender thing and more so at, like, is this going to get directed at my kids?
00:17:28.000Policy states that minors under the 18 must compete in their birth gender.
00:17:32.000In the weight class outlined in the rulebook, transgender women over 18 can only compete in the female category if they undergo genital reassignment surgery and submit to quarterly hormone tests for at least four years following surgery.
00:17:46.000The guidelines which define normal range of testosterone...
00:17:48.000See, but this is just still not good enough.
00:17:52.000The people don't understand all the different variables.
00:18:24.000Like, hey, I want to be a man, I want to be a woman?
00:18:26.000I haven't heard of that yet, but I'm sure that's coming.
00:18:29.000But what they do not do is they don't give you the balls.
00:18:33.000Because if someone switches your balls, like say if you donate your balls, you die in a car accident, you donate your balls to science or whatever, and someone takes your balls and sews them on, that'll be your kids.
00:18:43.000Your genes will come out of those balls.
00:18:50.000I mean, it won't be like this person's genes carrying on, it'll be your genes carrying on through your balls that are attached to this guy.
00:19:45.000Yeah, you should be able to do whatever you want.
00:19:46.000But when you want to compete as a woman or you want to start, you know, if you're a 50-year-old man, you want to compete against young girls, which is what's going on in Canada.
00:19:54.000There's a guy who's 50 who identifies as a teenage girl.
00:20:44.000It's a weird time because there's like so many fucking weird people that are involved in promoting these things and pushing them and changing what's normal and what's not normal to regular people.
00:20:54.000It's just fucking weirdos and all those fucking mentally ill fucking nutcases.
00:20:58.000That's honestly why I carry a gun everywhere.
00:21:01.000Where I'm legal to or I have somebody with me.
00:21:04.000It used to be like, okay, if I'm going somewhere where I thought, you know, that would, you know, make sense to do.
00:21:09.000You know, I've always had a concealed weapons permit everywhere and whatnot.
00:22:43.000Put some fucking Louis Vuitton stores on it or some shit.
00:22:46.000Well, it's a real weird thing, like, what they're doing.
00:22:48.000There's so many different people that have opinions about why they're leaving it open and why they're allowing people to come in and, you know, setting them up.
00:22:55.000Dr. Phil was on here yesterday and he was talking about it.
00:23:18.000Like, he's just so fed up with the news and the way things are portrayed and these biased ways, and he wants to have objective news, and so he created his own network.
00:23:31.000Yeah, it's a fucking very bizarre time.
00:23:34.000And I'm sure it's going to get more bizarre.
00:23:36.000We're going to look back on these days one day like, oh, remember the good old days where all you're complaining about was transgender women competing in sports?
00:23:43.000Kid only wanted to be a cat, took a litter box to school.
00:24:15.000When 9-11 happened, I tell everybody, like, even in Los Angeles, which is probably the most unpatriotic place on earth, everybody had an American flag on their car.
00:25:20.000But I even said that album, I was like, I'm going to get this out of my system and hopefully we can go back to having some civil discourse in this country.
00:25:27.000That was actually one of my suggestions to Bud Light.
00:25:32.000I was like, what if you could use this to not only make fun...
00:25:35.000My thing was like, you guys need to poke fun at this.
00:25:37.000Like, people aren't angry because you didn't apologize.
00:25:39.000I'm like, I don't necessarily agree with apologizing over everything in this day and age.
00:25:43.000Everything's become a fucking big, I'm sorry.
00:27:44.000And trust me, I don't have one of these teams of people.
00:27:48.000It's like, it's me, like, you know, maybe Corey, who's here with me, I'm like, ah, let's have some fun.
00:27:54.000Go get all the fucking, tell farm guys to get all the fucking Bud Light shit together and grab my fucking MP5. Yeah, I didn't think you ran that by a marketing department.
00:28:13.000And then they would never be in marketing.
00:28:14.000I've had more people, managers and stuff through the years, tell me, which I took as a compliment, they told me, like, just everything you've done to get where you're at, I would have told you no.
00:29:57.000When you think about it, I've done so many podcasts, Hammered, and then after we're all listening or thinking about what we said, like, what did we say?
00:30:17.000That kind of seems like a big chunk of the country wants that.
00:30:22.000They want to go back to this normal, fucked up D.C., All the bullshit that's been going on there, I would dare say for our lifetimes, it's just become a lot more out in the open for several reasons.
00:30:35.000You know, social media and the sharing of media worldwide and fucking Trump pulling everyone's fucking pants down there.
00:32:00.000And then they go, if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country.
00:32:03.000I mean, how the fuck do they get away with that?
00:32:05.000They get away with it because they are the news, and no one's checking them.
00:32:09.000If the news was real, the other news organizations would go, this is horrible propaganda, and what you've done is you've edited out a former president, you've changed his words, this should be illegal.
00:32:23.000You're taking it completely out of context.
00:32:26.000The whole thing is so fucking screwball.
00:32:29.000Every single presidential race we've ever had that I can remember, people contested the results.
00:32:37.000Hillary Clinton did it and Stacey Abrams.
00:34:43.000I think we can all agree that there's people that are complete maniacs, that are maniacs for the Democrats or maniacs for the Republicans, and they will do whatever the fuck it takes to get their person to win.
00:34:55.000There are certain human beings like that that exist, especially in these very polarized groups, and especially when you've got a guy that you've been comparing to Hitler forever.
00:35:05.000So you can kind of treat him as if Hitler's coming, let's stop Hitler.
00:36:34.000But it's also, they're exposing the wiring under the machine in a way that it's never been exposed before.
00:36:41.000You know, we never were totally aware of how wild it is that There's a group of people that no one ever thinks about called the Deep State.
00:37:59.000As hazy, fuzzy, faulty, poor, and having significant limitations.
00:38:04.000It noted that Biden could not recall defining milestones in his own life, such as when his son Bo died or when he served as vice president.
00:40:01.000Everybody's running for the fucking hills.
00:40:04.000You gotta wonder how much of it is by design.
00:40:07.000You gotta wonder of it how much is designed to make the population more unstable, more violent, more scared, more crime, Less ability to prosper.
00:42:53.000Him and John Ronson, this is back before Alex Jones' persona non grata, and people would do legitimate journalists, like John Ronson would do these things with him.
00:43:44.000But the first day, it was the first evening, and you gather around the owl by this lake, if I remember correctly, which could be a little hazy.
00:45:50.000Well, it's kind of like an unspoken requirement, like a wink wink, like you need to take your guitar over there, you know, if you want to be in good graces or be a team player type deal, and I'm like, yeah, I really don't.
00:46:02.000A friend of mine went to a party, and in the middle of the party, Michael Bolton just starts singing, and everybody gathers around while Michael Bolton is standing there singing.
00:48:25.000Well, that was a crazy combination of Bryce Mitchell moving forward quick and then him catching him right at the end of one of the most powerful punchers ever in the 145-pound division.
00:50:07.000Whatever it is, like Josh, he's built like, if you look at his body, it's just like a fucking tank, just his ball of muscle, and he gets so much force into it.
00:52:01.000It's just something about having that fucking cool, calm, collective fucking mindset when you're going into anything that's stressful or, you know, high energy, whatever it might be.
00:52:12.000How difficult was it for you when you first started getting famous?
00:52:18.000Because you go from being a regular dude to being Kid Rock in not a lot of time.
00:57:27.000Well, my granddaughter's nine, but I have nieces who are teenagers and going through all that stuff, and it's...
00:57:33.000Man, the influence it has over them, and then what the other kids say, and then what they're all saying on social media, and what the new trend is, and what the new this.
00:57:40.000I think it's always been that way, but now it's just...
00:57:43.000Exaggerated times, a thousand, because everything's right there.
00:57:47.000It's a difficult thing for adults to handle.
00:57:49.000And the emotional aspect of going back and forth with people and comments and stuff, and the whole world is commenting on things.
00:57:57.000Like, when they're doing that to each other, the kind of pressure that they're putting under them, no kids have ever experienced that before.
00:58:02.000No kids have ever grown up with that before.
00:58:39.000Yeah, like, you know, I kept promoting stuff and this, that, and the other, fucking getting a rise out of somebody, stirring the pot.
00:58:45.000But then the funny part was, years later, you know, Twitter blew up to be this huge fucking thing, and they're like, this fucking reporter's getting kind of snooty with me.
01:04:52.000Funny when the architect, you know, that's probably my second favorite thing outside, passion outside of, you know, be a close second with hunting and the outdoors, you know, as music is...
01:05:05.000And so I'm designing a house with, I had to use an architect, obviously, for many reasons, but he's like, sure you want to put the elevator right in the foyer of the main entrance.
01:05:16.000He goes, you know, most people hide it, you know, off to the back by a laundry room or something.
01:06:19.000Like this whole front thing, everything's on dimmers and there's one switch strategically placed when you walk out of the door and maybe somewhere by your office or something.
01:06:29.000Like when I walk into my studio where you've been down there or whatever, you know, things like 10,000 square feet, there's two light switches.
01:08:18.000I was gonna get like 10,000 acres in the middle of nowhere, build my fucking little fucking redneck empire.
01:08:23.000And then, so I started taking these lessons in a single-engine Robinson, and I let my hand off the collective a couple times, and like, you know, the fucking, the teacher's like, dude, what the fuck did you do that?
01:08:33.000I'm like, you didn't tell me not to fucking do that, and blah, blah, blah.
01:08:37.000And then what really was a deal breaker, I'm like, I know myself.
01:10:39.000It's scary just not being in control of anything.
01:10:42.000At least for me, I'm a bit of a control freak.
01:10:45.000Just not being in control of any situation, especially when it's something like that, that always makes you think a little bit more.
01:10:53.000That's why when things aren't a meritocracy and you're hiring because you want things to be inclusive, and you're not getting the best people working on your fucking airplanes, flying your airplanes, you're not getting the best people, what are you doing?
01:11:52.000As somebody who's very, you know, very right of center, you know, less regulations on most things, that's something that makes sense, and they have a lot of good ones in place, you know?
01:12:24.000You know, I've flown out of many airports where they go out there with shotguns before just to boom, with blanks just to get the geese out of there.
01:12:32.000And they actually let you hunt them at some certain times of year.
01:12:35.000It's like I know at Metro Airport in Detroit, there was a congressman that asked.
01:12:38.000They had a special permit to go over there and hunt them at certain times of year.
01:13:52.000There should be value in just the news, and that's what Dr. Phil wants to do.
01:13:56.000That's supposed to be the AP. Yeah, it's supposed to be, but it's not anymore.
01:14:01.000Because I think journalists at some point in time, at least corporate journalists, a big percentage of them decided that they're working towards a better future.
01:14:36.000And they also want to give their opinions all the time.
01:14:39.000A lot of these people want to give their opinions on things.
01:14:41.000Yeah, I want someone who's actually, if they're in the media, who has consequences on their opinions.
01:14:46.000When you're fucking 77, you know, and you're, what's her name from ABC or whatever, like, who's crying at fucking Hillary Clinton's, you know, when she lost the election, who reports fucking world news.
01:15:01.000I want somebody who's young, has a family.
01:15:03.000Like, you have shit to actually lose if you're gonna sway things this, that, and the other and get called out on it if you're in the media.
01:15:09.000If you want to talk shit, join a band.
01:15:12.000I just feel like we need objective news with no spin at all.
01:15:35.000Don't twist it in some weird liberal or conservative way.
01:15:39.000If they went by facts and things like that, There's no one been better than Trump.
01:15:45.000The shit he got done, and if you just look at the numbers in his record, forget about all the noise.
01:15:50.000You see that guy was one of the founders of Facebook who talked about it, and he said it was the right message but the wrong messenger.
01:15:56.000He talked about all the different things that Trump did that it turns out it worked.
01:16:00.000But I... Even though we're friends, even before we became good friends, I understood, as I think a lot of people did, not a ton, a good amount of people understood that there's a method to that, to what people call madness.
01:16:17.000When he says, you know, like, fucking Russia, go after fucking Poland if you don't want to pay your fair share of NATO. My sense tells me, no, he's never going to let that happen.
01:16:50.000The guy knows how to fucking go in and get shit done and talk business-wise and make these statements.
01:16:57.000And they don't know what the fuck he's going to do.
01:17:00.000But I have to say, when he was in office, by me, he did the right thing pretty much every fucking time.
01:17:06.000Everything he did for this country, whether it was keeping the border in check, fucking everybody working, including minorities, energy fucking independence, build the fucking military up, keep us out of fucking wars.
01:17:19.000I think if people could look at it without his personality attached to it, they'd be able to see that.
01:17:23.000But that's one of the most amazing things the media has done, is they've turned a guy who was a celebrity, who was beloved, who was the host of The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Zelensky was a celebrity.
01:17:35.000Everyone puts him on the highest fucking pedestal, like, oh, he's the greatest!
01:17:55.000Everything he says to me is fucking great, but smartest thing, he's like, we should not, I've kind of spoke about this with family and friends for the years, like, why do we keep getting into these wars, giving countries this fucking money, and we get nothing in return?
01:18:09.000This should be a fucking loan or we should take land or natural resources that they can buy back one day with a small interest or something.
01:18:19.000Why are we just giving fucking money away, giving our resources?
01:18:23.000You know the fucking trillions we spent in Afghanistan and Iraq?
01:20:23.000I never realized it was that bad until watching that clock.
01:20:26.000There's something about knowing the number but seeing the number move in real time that's just terrifying.
01:20:33.000I don't understand how this makes sense.
01:20:35.000Okay, many people believe that much of U.S. national debt is owed to foreign countries like China and Japan, but the truth is that most of it is owed to Social Security and pension funds right here in the U.S. This means that U.S. citizens own most of the national debt.
01:22:43.000And not only that are best for, you know, whatever they play or whatever their instrument, musical talent is, but also people that we knew could get along and could spend time as a family.
01:22:53.000Like, you know, you hear these horror stories about so many bands.
01:22:58.000And like, we've never had that fucking problem.
01:23:01.000Sure, we've had disagreements and fuck you and this, that, and the other, but fucking for 25 some years, like, everyone loves each other and gets along.
01:23:08.000And fucking politics all different across the fucking board.
01:23:13.000I just came to a point where I'm like, look, you gotta vote.
01:23:55.000Those are the primary things we all agree on.
01:23:58.000It's the most important things that all of us want in our life.
01:24:01.000Then the other stuff, when it starts getting on the fringes, like trans women competing with biological females, now you're out there in crazy land and that's getting the majority of the attention.
01:24:12.000But that's not the majority of our fucking problems.
01:24:15.000The majority of our problems, we all kind of agree on keeping things safe and educating kids.
01:24:20.000We disagree on the paths to get there.
01:24:25.000That's what makes America great, is thinking differently.
01:24:28.000But instead of thinking so much about the things that we disagree on, which I think are insane, and how many people have been incited by bullshit stories in the media, and it's changed your narrative on all the people running for president, whether it's gaslighting you about Biden or gaslighting you about Trump.
01:24:44.000They're just bullshitting, trying to get whatever narrative they want out there, and they don't really give a fuck if it's the truth.
01:24:51.000Well, and not only that, the truth can be spun so many different ways.
01:24:56.000Facts and numbers can be spun so many different ways.
01:24:59.000Where it's like you teeter that line, well it's not really a lie, but it's not the whole truth.
01:25:04.000What's really wild is that the people behind Biden If he wasn't fucking up as much as he is, if they could just kind of keep him out of the limelight for a while, they're willing to run him again.
01:25:16.000Could they keep him out of the limelight any more than they do, though?
01:25:19.000What they're saying is they're running the country without the president.
01:26:30.000And then there's another person who's like a trans influencer, pulled her tits out on the lawn, took photos, pulled her tits out of the White House lawn.
01:26:38.000And it's almost like we gotta compete on the right.
01:26:39.000It's like, hey, hey, we got George Santos.
01:26:59.000It seems like he might be an H-U-S-T-L-E-R hustler.
01:27:04.000I thought that one the other day because I'm always trying to do comparisons to Trump and Biden for people that, you know, they know my friendship, my love for Trump, his politics, everything.
01:27:14.000And, you know, I don't like the way he talks and he speaks.
01:27:18.000I'm like, okay, look, you need an emergency medical procedure.
01:27:23.000You're in Los Angeles and you have to get to Santa Barbara.
01:27:27.000The only people that can drive you there that are available are Trump and Biden.
01:27:59.000She got busted using his account to tweet.
01:28:02.000I see that she fucked up forgot to change accounts So she tweets as the president like you gotta see this Hi, you know people fuck up make mistakes.
01:28:13.000I know but it's just fun to see the wiring under the board Yeah, it's fun to see how the sausage is made like this isn't this is not really the president wizard It's literally weekend at Bernie's this should be impersonation Look at this.
01:28:29.000Investing in America means investing in all, all caps, of America.
01:28:33.000When I ran for president, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind.
01:28:42.000Bro, when they say things like that and they tweet, when presidents like Biden tweet, it's like trying to get wisdom from a fortune cookie.
01:28:50.000It's like they're the dumbest little quotes.
01:28:52.000Like, who read that and is like, yeah, he did.
01:29:10.000But some of the nuttiest pro-Biden stuff, despite, like, no matter what happens, no matter what kind of gaffe he makes, where it's so embarrassing, and if it was your dad, you would want him like, get dad, get dad, we gotta get him off the stage.
01:29:24.000They'd be like, dad, you can't do this, dad.
01:32:56.000Has there ever been a turnaround like that before where like so many people love the guy for his bombastic personality and then he becomes president and then they all hate him?
01:33:58.000Yeah, because I had a couple of lesbians in my band.
01:34:00.000We always joke, like back in the day, like the early days, like always be these fucking hot chicks in the front row showing their titties and shit, you know, just cool rock and roll shit.
01:34:08.000And like, so I started, I started, I got a great friend in Toledo, Ohio, Dan McGurk.
01:36:47.000I knew a bunch of dudes who lost a bunch of money.
01:36:49.000My theory on Los Angeles or Hollywood is...
01:36:52.000You get all these beautiful girls that migrate there, they want to make it at some level, want to do something.
01:36:58.000So wherever, it doesn't matter where it is on earth, it doesn't have to be Hollywood, wherever there's a bunch of hot chicks, whether it's the local disco club in your town, wherever, there's a bunch of fucking greaseballs, a bunch of fucking kooks.
01:37:10.000If there's a conglomerate of hot chicks hanging out in a concentrated area, It's a bunch of fucking weirdo dudes.
01:37:32.000Yeah, if they know that hot chicks are definitely going to be there.
01:37:34.000You don't ever remember going to popular clubs, different places, and just, you know, wow, there's a ton of hot chicks in there.
01:37:38.000And you look around like, wow, there's a bunch of D-bags in here too.
01:37:42.000I remember thinking of going, like when I was a kid and I first started going to clubs, like with my friends, go to a dance club or whatever, just being an idiot, like wearing Cavaricis and looking stupid, just trying to meet girls.
01:37:54.000And all I could think of is like, this is like the least productive way ever to meet somebody.
01:38:00.000Like I've never met anybody at one of these places.
01:38:02.000It's always just me and my friends standing around, looking stupid.
01:38:07.000Trying to figure out how to meet girls.
01:38:09.000I didn't either until I fucking had a hit record.
01:39:39.000So that was even a better outlet than radio, but I've never had number one song in America.
01:39:44.000I was never willing to do the fucking shit to get it there.
01:39:48.000All over the world where I didn't have to do anything, yeah.
01:39:50.000We're number one in seven countries or something.
01:39:53.000But yeah, my feeling was always like, okay, we have to at some level when we're getting this big chance, you know, after I'd been knocked down this, that, and the other, and finally got my big record deal in like 1997. I was like, okay, this is do or die.
01:40:07.000I have to play a little bit of this game.
01:40:09.000It was one of my most successful record because that's kind of what I did.
01:41:32.000And the scary thing about it is like...
01:41:34.000I could say like, okay, common sense gun law, if we actually had one to keep guns out of mentally disturbed people, I could take a serious look at that.
01:41:42.000And I know the NRA is going to be all over for that.
01:41:46.000I can honestly take a serious look at that.
01:41:48.000But the problem that I see in it is as soon as this common sense gun law is passed, written up by attorneys and people in politics that none of us can really understand, they throw in some mumbo jumbo.
01:42:00.000The first thing that's going to happen is...
01:42:02.000Did you see that crazy shit Kid Rock was saying?
01:47:08.000And the fact that we're all just trying to sort this out in real time as a country, and so many people are skeptical of the news now, so you don't know where the fuck to turn for the truth.
01:47:18.000A lot of people are skeptical of, you know, the CIA and FBI, like, institutions that have been there to protect us and serve us for years, and our judges and prosecutors.
01:48:11.000I've said things out of line that in a different day and age I would probably have apologized for, but in this day and age, no fucking way.
01:48:58.000To have everything be so fucking, these people are evil, and these people are the future, and this is the death of democracy if you go that way, and it's a, shut the fuck up.
01:49:07.000You people are freaking everybody out.
01:49:24.000During the Biden administration, the disastrous pullout of Afghanistan, you realize that all the shit that he wouldn't have done, he wouldn't have done it that way.
01:49:32.000He would have asked those guys, he would have asked the generals, like, how to do this.
01:49:40.000Yeah, they should get out of there, but they're probably going to have to maintain some force there, otherwise the Taliban's going to take over, like they did.
01:50:38.000To fuck those people up with our old shit, our old shit.
01:50:40.000Well, unfortunately, some of that might come back to haunt us here, and I hate to put that out in the universe, but it's, you know, with this border being open, we know there's bad actors here.
01:51:44.000And this is where I get, when I get really conspiratorial, when the weed kicks in, when you get real conspiratorial, I start thinking about all these things that are happening.
01:53:34.000I was going to say, and consult with people that are experts in whatever the fuck they're talking about.
01:53:38.000They should be written two-page bills, two-to-five-to-ten-page bills in layman's terms that anybody with a high school degree can fucking decipher.
01:55:17.000Whenever they get him in front of the podium, the dude just locks up.
01:55:20.000I just feel like sometimes we're having like the dumbest conversation because it's like we're repeating a lot of things and it's all to me boils down to common sense.
01:55:28.000You know what I wonder about Mitch McConnell too though?
01:55:29.000He's probably guilty of some serious shit.
01:55:31.000I wonder if like he's doing the Vincent de Chin gigante thing.
01:55:49.000So all of his bosses would, you know, all the guys under him would meet him and they would go walking.
01:55:55.000And so what the FBI did was they put these...
01:55:58.000Recording devices and all the hubcaps of all the cars on the street They parked their own cars there and so they recorded them as he was walking and then they knew he wasn't actually crazy because he's really running the mob But he did it by pretend so master of deceit if they're coming after Vince or what's his name?
01:56:18.000Oh McConnell yeah McConnell if he's uh pretending to be locking up that'd be a good move like if you think the shit's coming down you think he's that good of an actor I All I have to do is this.
01:59:25.000A little tzatziki if I want some flavor.
01:59:26.000I mean, you're probably not eating enough that it's going to be a real problem, but for people that get blended smoothies of raw vegetables, especially raw leafy greens, they say that when you cook them, it actually is more bioavailable and it gets rid of the oxalates.
01:59:40.000You could get it out of the vegetable.
01:59:44.000But I know people that have drank a lot of smoothies, like green smoothies, and developed kidney stones and shit.
01:59:49.000It becomes a bit of an issue for some folks.
02:01:32.000And it's also like I've had people on like the guy from White Oaks Pastures who explained that whole grass-fed thing and then also that it's a US product even if the cows are grown in another country.
02:01:48.000They can grow cattle in another country, kill it in another country, ship it to America, and then if they cut it up and put it on the shelf then it's a product of the USA. Makes no sense.
02:02:51.000But this year, the big one is called Rock the Country.
02:02:54.000And it's a two-day festival with me, one night, Jason Aldean, one night, and cast of characters from Miranda Lambert to Hank Jr., Skinner, Bradley Gilbert, Travis Tritt, on down.
02:03:06.000And so we're doing these in very small towns like Ocala, Florida and Mobile, Alabama and Gonzales, Louisiana.
02:03:53.000And we're going to these towns, you know, and there's...
02:03:54.000And we got RV stuff, and, you know, you can camp out of your car and stuff like that, and VIP experiences and all that shit, but...
02:04:00.000It really, you know, when they approached me about this, and, you know, having a piece of it in perpetuity, you know, it's made me do shit like this, go out and, like...
02:04:08.000It excites me to go out and do things now...
02:04:12.000Rather than just go tour and make money, okay?
02:04:14.000I've been blessed to be able to do that.
02:04:17.000It always excites me to play, but to do something like this a little outside of the box and create this space, because make no mistake, all the shenanigans and experiences we're going to have here, the people are going to fucking make it.
02:04:28.000The people, because you know they're coming red, white, and blue.
02:04:31.000They're coming with their bag of shit, this, that, and the other.
02:04:33.000Like, it's going to be a fucking shit show.
02:07:05.000Last year we donated the money to the victims of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville and then the guys that lost their lives on those choppers that went down outside of Fort Campbell.
02:07:14.000So we try to pick a couple specific things each year and help people out.
02:10:43.000It has its moments where it's great, and this, that, and the other, and you probably know the ones I'm talking about, but nonetheless, I watch it.
02:10:50.000It's like, so when they're doing the opening monologue, you know, one of the cast members will be in the crowd or whatever, and everyone will give them some applause.
02:13:10.000But the best show is one of your own shows when you're like, can you imagine if all of our founding fathers came back to Earth and looked around in the present day and they're like, well, you guys haven't written any new shit?
02:14:49.000I knew people who drove trucks for, you know, big Bud Light trucks and their fucking livelihoods were crushed.
02:14:55.000Because now people are fucking with them.
02:14:57.000One of the heads of fucking AB said he went to my bar, Kid Rock's big-ass honky-tonk in Nashville.
02:15:02.000He's like, dude, I walked through there with a Bud Light shirt.
02:15:04.000He's like, three people told me to go fuck myself.
02:15:09.000Yeah, I was reading about this one bar owner who had to stop carrying Bud Light because when people would buy it, other people would get aggressive with them.
02:17:00.000But when we went into the agreement with my partner with the bar, I was like, I don't want shit to do.
02:17:06.000With operations at any level, With dealing with bands, booking, I'll throw in my two cents, I'll keep up on things, but I hang fucking pictures.
02:18:04.000What's funny, when I met with them and we were talking, they were like, you know, if you're messaging, you know, we'd like to work out a deal.
02:18:31.000I go, but now, after I've done some research, and especially after I talked to them, but not only them, you know, they're the heads of this company.
02:18:39.000Talking to a lot of people, including Dana, including Trump, including people that own distributor ships, people that drive for them, this, that, and the other bars, whatnot.
02:21:14.000I think it's just one of these things where these people get out of universities and they're indoctrinated into this way of thinking and they start working for a corporation and they want to change it.
02:21:21.000I told that to Brendan, the CEO. I said, what did you think was going to happen when you move half the corporate offices from St. Louis, Missouri to New York City?
02:21:30.000And then you start hiring these Ivy League liberals to do your marketing.
02:21:59.000It appears to people like me, because although we're friends and I love you guys and we'll see what the future holds, I have no fucking idea.
02:22:07.000But I'm not looking for a corporate deal on any fucking level because that's how you set yourself up to get canceled.
02:22:12.000And nobody can fucking cancel me at any level.
02:23:26.000But it's also, you know, for other companies, just realize, like, a lot of people think all this stuff is nonsense, and a lot of people think that a lot of these influencers that you're latching yourself to because you think they're popular, they're popular because a lot of people are They think that they're attention whores and they're mentally ill and so they pay attention to them.
02:23:45.000Doesn't mean they respect them as human beings and you want to have them as your spokespeople and you want to disparage all the other people that have been your loyal supporters forever.
02:25:07.000You know, like dealing with Chevy, like the people I dealt with were great, but trying to get stuff done in those situations, like even when I was talking to him at the design center about the shape of the Suburban in the back, I'm like, you get fucking groceries, like they slide out.
02:25:28.000So if you don't have any luggage, you get more legroom for those being transported around.
02:25:32.000When we're in the design center and they're like, to change the mirrors on that car will take three years.
02:25:37.000Which is why I fucking love Elon Musk.
02:25:41.000A motherfucker, not only for everything he stands for and the shit he says, and I know he's probably not a Trump fan, and I fucking love Trump.
02:25:47.000In case we're not clear here today, Joe, I fucking love Trump.
02:26:06.000He took the Disney logo, flipped Mickey Mouse upside down so it looks like two balls and a dick, and he wrote D's nuts in the Disney lettering.
02:30:16.000You know the only time I read comments is when it's like a news article and I'll go, I'll see like some fucked up article and I'll think like Family Feud.
02:30:28.000I'll think like this is what everyone's saying down below.
02:30:31.000And I'll scroll through them and I'm usually pretty fucking close.
02:30:35.000Like I could read something up there and probably start scrolling.
02:30:37.000I could tell you what they're saying, some fucked up article.
02:30:41.000Like I fucking pat myself on the back of being pretty in tune with common folk, even though I couldn't tell you what a gallon of milk costs.
02:30:48.000But just my friends, places I have houses where I spend my time, what I do, I'm kind of...
02:30:53.000People think I'm some fucking nutball right-wing fucking weirdo.
02:31:20.000And so I put up a nice post, and then Trump actually posted about him, which was fucking mind-blowing and unbelievable.
02:31:26.000But what a great friend right there, if I could speak to him about a human being, and I could tell you what a great father-grandfather he is all day long.
02:35:35.000I've always wanted to figure out a way, and this might be the right platform because I know you're into that lifestyle, is to employ them like...
02:35:41.000Hey man, listen to fucking what Dana White says.
02:35:46.000If you want advice from me, I'll give it to you.
02:35:49.000There's ways to do this now and the information is all there at the fingertips to start taking small steps, whether it's the intermittent fasting or whether it's cutting out processed foods.
02:35:59.000Whether it's, you know, just everything in moderation, including moderation.
02:36:03.000You know, there's so many little things of getting in the gym, self-discipline like that.
02:36:06.000You know, a lot of my fans are in and around my age.
02:36:44.000It's important to talk about because it's important for people to hear that, you know, it doesn't mean you're not a good person, doesn't mean you're not a kind person.
02:40:29.000There's definitely people that rebel against their parents.
02:40:31.000There's also people that always look at the people that are older and look at how fucked up the world is and think they've got better ideas.
02:41:05.000I was actually born in New Jersey, and then I lived in San Francisco until I was 11. I lived in Florida from when I was 11 to 13, then Boston from 13 to like 24. Oh, no wonder you fucked up.
02:44:54.000The old Dixie gas ones that you're not supposed to have because they have a Confederate flag on them, you know, from the old gas company back in the day.
02:48:50.000So apparently they found so many helmets that you could go there and, like, find them in the ground in these places during World War II. So they're not uncommon.
02:49:03.000So they take them and they can turn them into artwork.
02:49:05.000I wonder why they haven't, like, debombed it, demined it, like, all that stuff.
02:52:31.000So, in the years following the Great War, today, around 100 kilometers square, roughly the size of Paris, is still strictly prohibited by law from public entry and agriculture use because of an impossible amount of human remains and unexploded chemical munitions Yet to be recovered from the battlefields of both wars.
02:52:53.000So there's an impossible amount of human remains out there, dude.
02:52:58.000I'm looking at the top, and the website says messinessychick.com.
02:53:12.000Well, this is a lady that just, whatever, maybe it's a dude, I don't know who wrote it, but whoever this person, they're just reporting on something that is true.
02:53:20.000This is, uh, they pulled so much shit out of that area.
02:54:39.000The Vietnam War is one of the most perplexing of all wars because today no one thinks we should have gone and yet they do the exact same thing today that they did back then.
02:54:51.000The way they just decide that people from this country need to be flying overseas to go shoot at people they don't know and it's all based on a lie and no one ever goes to jail for that lie.
02:55:11.000You know, if they were really terrible at the way they were corruptly running the world back then and made it real obvious, they're better at it now.
02:57:34.000Whatever tools you have or things you find, and a small percentage of us are going to make it to breed and then make new kids and then go out into the world.
02:57:45.000There's very few people that are going to live, man.
02:57:47.000It's like me and you could probably figure it out.
02:58:45.000The problem is, most of them would be so opposed to Israel that they would want to use those guns to go attack Israel.
02:58:53.000Well, now we have due reason to fuck them all up.
02:58:57.000Yeah, but if you think about you're a kid and you don't know why there's a conflict between Palestine and Israel and you're living in Palestine and then they start bombing and then they kill your mom.
03:01:02.000And the thing is, like, what you were saying, get them cell phones, get them the internet, get them armed.
03:01:10.000If you get them armed, they're not going to really know how to use it, unless they're joining those military groups, and then they're also going to be indoctrinated at a young age by those groups, I would imagine, especially now with all the bombing that's been happening in Gaza.
03:01:23.000You just came full circle to my point.
03:01:25.000I'm not opposed to what you're saying.
03:01:28.000I'm not saying that I'm opposed to what you're saying.
03:01:30.000What I'm saying is that what you're saying could be taken as a callous thing, that it's just going to have to be how it is, that we have to kill women and children.
03:10:30.000Sit there and keep your shit together while you don't move because maybe if you do, at one point in time, a giant buck's going to stroll through the trail.
03:10:53.000Getting to the elk, you know, once you spot them, and there's a lot of them, and you're picking out the big daddies, and then you've got to fucking figure out how to get to them.
03:11:01.000That could take fucking a couple days and fucking a lot of miles of fucking hiking.
