      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) I love that chain. What is that chain?

   3. KRKid Rock0:14

      It's, uh, (clears throat) it's my tattoo. It's my logo, American Badass.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      It's pretty badass. (laughs)

   5. KRKid Rock0:21

      (laughs) That sounds like stoner talk. (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:24

      It is. It is stoner t- most of my conversations are stoner talk, like, high level.

   7. KRKid Rock0:29

      Dude, I used to be Tom Petty's weed dealer, in a sense. Like, he would come to town. He married a girl from, uh, 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 to get some weed, and I'd be like, "This is fucking awesome," 'cause 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."

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:06

      (laughs)

   9. KRKid Rock1:07

      This, this guy's so fucking high. And (clears throat) I might've been tuned up on a couple beers or something. (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       (laughs)

   11. KRKid Rock1:12

       And I'm like, "Well, that sucked." (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       (laughs)

   13. KRKid Rock1:15

       "So I guess I'll just enjoy the music." (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       Was this before or after you were doing music?

   15. KRKid Rock1:21

       Oh, this was when I was a big star.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       Oh, really?

   17. KRKid Rock1:23

       Oh, yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       No shit.

   19. KRKid Rock1:25

       Yeah, I was all excited.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:25

       And you're hanging with Tom Petty?

   21. KRKid Rock1:27

       Not really. I was just taking him weed.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:29

       Were you-

   23. KRKid Rock1:29

       Trying, trying to hang out with him.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:31

       You know, that's how Tom Petty died.

   25. KRKid Rock1:33

       Oh.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:33

       Somebody got him some pills.

   27. KRKid Rock1:35

       Oh, it was the fentanyl?

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:36

       Yeah.

   29. KRKid Rock1:36

       Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:38

       Yeah, he, uh-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. KRKid Rock15:00

      It's like, you got the message, and, and it's clear. I, I wish people knew these guys running the company, 'cause they're great fucking guys, but I said, um, I, I said, "You know, there's just a percentage of these fucking trolls on the left and on the right," that are like, "I'm so empowered by the internet."

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      Yeah.

   3. KRKid Rock15:18

      "I'm gonna piss and bitch and moan," and you know, "I have a voice." It's like, go fuck yourself. All right? Cut it out. Like, if anyone's still spending time on this, you clearly are, are fucking bored. Find something better to do.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:30

      Yeah, it's definitely a pursuit of losers, but the problem is those losers can actually affect businesses, and that's what they know. They know now that it's possible, both on the right and on the left.

   5. KRKid Rock15:39

      But they need to know there's so many more businesses in this country deserving of that treatment.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:44

      Right.

   7. KRKid Rock15:44

      Fucking Ben & Jerry's, Starbucks, Target, the list goes on and on.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:49

      Yeah.

   9. KRKid Rock15:49

      And, and I don't care if they're left wing or right wing, it's just their fucking ideology.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Yeah.

   11. KRKid Rock15:53

       Like, 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, and more so at like, "Is this gonna get directed at my kids?"

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       Right.

   13. KRKid Rock16:03

       "So you think fucking men should be in women's sports?" Like, nah, nah, nah. That's where I'm drawing the fucking line. Get the fuck out of here.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:09

       That's the most amazing one that they're supporting. And the fact that w- was it the Olympic Boxing Committee? What was it that just allowed transgender women-

   15. KRKid Rock16:17

       Oh, they're allowing the reverse.

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:19

       What do you mean?

   17. KRKid Rock16:19

       They're allowing, uh, I always get confused here. They're allowing-

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:22

       Biological females to fight men?

   19. KRKid Rock16:23

       ... biological, they're allowing chicks that sow on dicks to fight dudes.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:27

       To fight men?

   21. KRKid Rock16:27

       Which, I'd tune in for that. (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:28

       Is that real?

   23. KRKid Rock16:30

       I think so. I don't know.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:30

       I thought it was biological men who identify as females were gonna be allowed to box.

   25. KRKid Rock16:36

       Might be.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:37

       I think-

   27. KRKid Rock16:37

       I thought it was the other way too, but I don't know.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:38

       Jamie'll find out.

   29. NANarrator16:40

       Oh, yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:41

       Yeah. The other one was e- the o- the other one's easy. Sure. You think, go ahead. Do it. Go for it. But at the end of the day, you're gonna have to take steroids, and it's supposed to be illegal to take steroids. Like, if you are taking synthetic testosterone, you're, you're taking steroids. And if y- so if you're doing that-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Oh boy. Story of…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      and then after we're, we're all l- listening or thinking about what we said, like, "What did we say?" Like... (laughs)

   2. KRKid Rock30:05

      Oh boy. Story of my fucking life.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      Yeah, but people like that. They like real humans. They don't want some fucking pre-programmed bullshit shoved down their throat just to make a little bit more money.

   4. KRKid Rock30:16

      Well, that's incredible.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:17

      No one's looking for that.

   6. KRKid Rock30:17

      That, that kind of seems like a big, a big chunk of the country-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:21

      Yeah.

   8. KRKid Rock30:21

      ... wants that. They wanna go back to this normal-

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:24

      Mm-hmm.

   10. KRKid Rock30:25

       ... fucked up D.C., all the bullshit that's been going on there. I, I would dare say in our, for our lifetimes. We've just... It's just become a lot, lot more out in the open for several reasons, you know, social media and, and the sharing of media worldwide and fucking Trump pulling everyone's fucking pants down there.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Yeah.

   12. KRKid Rock30:42

       Showing 'em, "Look, everyone has a small penis in this fucking town. See, I just showed it to you."

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       Well, they're-

   14. KRKid Rock30:47

       They act like they have the biggest dicks on Earth.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       One thing no one can deny is that he exposed the media.... expose the media for being e- essentially a propaganda agent. It's not just the news.

   16. KRKid Rock30:59

       Yup.

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       And to pretend it's the news, they never covered anything that he did that was positive. Anything had some negative spin on it. They spent years talking about some fake collusion story with Russia and never apologized for it, never took it back, and they'll allow people on this show to s- to, to, to support that, to try to justify that, or to try to e- even say that it's not true, that he did co- collaborate with Russia.

   18. KRKid Rock31:29

       How many times have you been watching the evening news... I'm a sucker for news, like, and I'll flip between them, I'll flip between CNN and MSNBC and Fox, you know. I... Mainly Fox, but then I'll watch a- the evening news. I'll watch ABC one night, NBC. This is one s- this is just one example, there's a million of them as you know, but, like, they're talking about January 6th, and they completely edit his speech.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:51

       Yeah.

   20. KRKid Rock31:51

       They take out the part where he says, "Let's march down there peacefully," or whatever. He actually-

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:55

       Yeah.

   22. KRKid Rock31:55

       ... says that, and they cut it out. He says, "We're gonna march down to the Capitol," cut-

   23. JRJoe Rogan32:00

       Yeah.

   24. KRKid Rock32:00

       ... and then they go, "If you don't fight like hell, you're not gonna have a country."

   25. JRJoe Rogan32:03

       Yup.

   26. KRKid Rock32:03

       I mean, how the fuck do they get away with that?

   27. JRJoe Rogan32:05

       They, they get away with it because they are the news and no one's checking them. There's not another new... If the news was real, the other news organizations would go, "This is horrible propaganda and what you've done is you, you've edited out a former president, you've changed his words. This should be illegal. You're taking it completely out of context." The whole thing is so fucking screwball. Every single presidential race we've ever had that I can remember, people contested the results. Hillary Clinton-

   28. KRKid Rock32:38

       When Hillary Clinton did it-

   29. JRJoe Rogan32:39

       Yeah.

   30. KRKid Rock32:39

       ... and Stacey Abrams.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Okay, because when Alex…

   1. KRKid Rock45:00

      long time ago.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Okay, because when Alex snuck in, was like ... This is, like, the '90s, Jamie? What was it? Like, when Alex Jones and Jon Ronson snuck into Bohemian Grove. That's when they first got that video. I f- ... I wanna say it was in the '90s. I wanna say it was, like, '99 or something like that.

   3. KRKid Rock45:18

      I did have some fun there, I gotta say. It was fucking weird. I met, like, uh, Paul Pelosi and his son.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      Oh, boy.

   5. KRKid Rock45:25

      And, like, Chris Matthews, like, you know?

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:28

      Oh, okay.

   7. KRKid Rock45:28

      But I was hanging out with them. We were having cool conversations.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:30

      All right, that's cool.

   9. KRKid Rock45:31

      Kinda weird. And then they asked me, like ... I had to come play my guitar-

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Oh, no. (laughs)

   11. KRKid Rock45:35

       ... and, like, sing at one of these camp things, and, and I was like, "I feel so used."

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:40

       (laughs)

   13. KRKid Rock45:40

       "I feel so dirty." Like, "I don't do this shit, man. What the fuck?"

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Yeah, that's gotta be weird. Hey, man, play us a song.

   15. KRKid Rock45:50

       Well, it was kinda like a unspoken requirement, like a wink-wink. Like, you-

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       Oh.

   17. KRKid Rock45:54

       ... you need to take your guitar over there, you know, if you wanna be in good graces or be a team player type deal, and I'm like, "Yeah, I really don't." (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       A friend of mine went to a party, and, uh, in the middle of the party, Michael Bolton just starts singing, and everybody gathers around while Michael Bolton is standing there singing.

   19. KRKid Rock46:13

       Was it set up?

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       Yeah, it was set up.

   21. KRKid Rock46:15

       Oh, that's funny.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:16

       But no one knew. Then all a sudden, like ... Or I think no one knew.

   23. KRKid Rock46:19

       How do you know? (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:21

       He didn't know. But it was just like, "What's going on?"

   25. KRKid Rock46:22

       Then how do you know?

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:23

       All the sudden Michael Bolton's singing, and everyone just, be s- quiet.

   27. KRKid Rock46:26

       It's not a bad strategy if you want ... don't wanna look like a putz to, like ... Otherwise, you're just like, "Hey, these motherfuckers paid me a shit ton of money, and I'm gonna sing some songs."

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:34

       Right, that's what it is. It's like the ultimate flex. You know?

   29. KRKid Rock46:38

       Yeah. I, uh ... That's how I used to fund my foundation, doing corporate gigs.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:42

       Dude, Dana White had a birthday party, and-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:40

   Right. …

   1. KRKid Rock1:00:00

      say some nice things, "Your new record's great," blah, blah, blah. Then like fucking get you on the line with something, of course I go off the fucking rails.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      Right.

   3. KRKid Rock1:00:06

      And then you fucking, that's all you hear about. And it just, you know-

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Well, that's what they wanna do. You know?

   5. KRKid Rock1:00:11

      They still do.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      They only have a couple of minutes with you. They wanna say something outrageous or question you in a way that's gonna go viral. And-

   7. KRKid Rock1:00:19

      Yeah, I just got tired of dealing with it, it's like fuck it.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      Yeah, but-

   9. KRKid Rock1:00:21

      And I feel bad for so many reporters that were so good to me, especially in Detroit. You know, that, that I just kind of ... I, I think a lot of them took it personal. I wa-

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       Yeah.

   11. KRKid Rock1:00:30

       I was, uh, I've been meaning to contact them for all these years and say like, "Hey, there's, you know, I'm gonna do stuff with you again. I'm starting to come out of it. I'm doing your show." I'm like, "I get it. I got some stuff to promote." I'm like, but I, I just didn't ... Like if I never saw another fucking TV camera (laughs) or an interview again-

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       (laughs)

   13. KRKid Rock1:00:45

       ... I'd be fine. I'd be-

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       Yeah.

   15. KRKid Rock1:00:47

       ... totally fucking fine. Like, I, I don't need to be on fucking Good Morning America every week. I don't give a fuck.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       But you, you don't have to. You have a b- a beautiful setup.

   17. KRKid Rock1:00:55

       Well, I'm very blessed not to have to.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:56

       The way you're living your life is amazing.

   19. KRKid Rock1:00:58

       I don't wanna overshadow that. I'm extremely blessed the way I live.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       Oh, I know you appreciate it. But like, the way you're living, like I've talked on this podcast many times about you giving me the tour of your house. (laughs)

   21. KRKid Rock1:01:09

       (laughs) ... it wasn't even do- oh, by the way, you got that wrong.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:12

       (laughs) .

   23. KRKid Rock1:01:12

       You're like-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:12

       What did I get wrong?

   25. KRKid Rock1:01:13

       You k- you said, someone... S- my girl listens to you religiously, my fiance, and she's, and she'll always play me the, the hot clips, you know?

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:20

       Right.

   27. KRKid Rock1:01:21

       Shit, and sh- and one, that one was o- of me, and you're like, "He's got a golden shower." I'm like, "A golden shower? That's like pissing on somebody." (laughs) It's a gold bathroom. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:30

       It's a g- the whole bathroom's gold?

   29. KRKid Rock1:01:32

       Yeah, but there's no shower in it.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

       The shower's not gold?
