#2106 - Kid Rock

Jamie (0:08)

All day.

Joe Rogan (0:09)

I love that chain.

Kid Rock (0:15)

It's my tattoo, it's my logo, American badass.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

That's pretty badass.

SPEAKER_4 (0:19)

That sounds like stoner talk.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

It is, it is stoner talk. Most of my conversations are stoner talk, like high level.

Kid Rock (0:29)

It used to be Tom Petty's weed dealer, in a sense. He would come to town, he married a girl from Saginaw, Michigan. I forget her name, great girl.

And they would come to 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. 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. I'm like, well, that sucked.

I guess I'll just enjoy the music.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Was this before or after you were doing music?

Kid Rock (1:21)

Oh, I was a big star.

SPEAKER_4 (1:23)

Oh, really?

Kid Rock (1:23)

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (1:24)

No shit.

Kid Rock (1:24)

Yeah, I was all excited.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

And you're hanging with Tom Petty?

Kid Rock (1:27)

Not really. I was just taking him weed, trying to hang out with him.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

You know, that's how Tom Petty died. Somebody got him some pills.

Kid Rock (1:34)

Oh, it was a fentanyl?

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Yeah. Yeah, he, I don't remember what his injury was, but he was hurting, and a roadie got him some fentanyl.

Kid Rock (1:47)

Terrible.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah, that's how Prince died too.

Kid Rock (1:49)

Yeah, I remember, I've heard that in the elevator.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Same thing, pain.

Kid Rock (1:53)

We all know people that have, it's a travesty.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

It's fucking unreal. It's a horrible thing.

Kid Rock (1:57)

Well, let's just go right at the border.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

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.

Kid Rock (2:17)

Yeah, in case you were ever thinking about quitting drugs, fentanyl should seal the deal.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Yeah.

Kid Rock (2:24)

That should seal the deal.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Yeah.

Kid Rock (2:26)

I know a lot of people it 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, I had some friends tell me they were gonna buy a testing kit, this, that and the other. I was like, yeah, that's probably time to move on.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

If you buy a testing kit to make sure you don't die, you probably should reconsider your options.

Kid Rock (2:46)

Might wanna revisit whiskey.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

Yeah.

Weed's not bad. Weed and whiskey, it's a good combination. You don't really, you don't wanna 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, cause it's awesome.

Kid Rock (3:06)

I had a good run. I haven't too many problems.

And on 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. 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. Can't say I was batting a thousand, but pretty good average.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

You did pretty good.

Kid Rock (3:44)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:45)

Considering it all worked out pretty well.

Kid Rock (3:48)

And I'm not advocating for it at any level.

Joe Rogan (3:51)

I don't think anybody is.

Kid Rock (3:52)

That's my honest experience. Like, hey, you know, I came out okay.
