Joe Rogan Experience #2106 - Kid Rock
The guest

Kid Rock — Musician (Robert Ritchie), founder of the Rock the Country festival, outspoken political figure who became the face of the 2023 Bud Light boycott.

The gist

Kid Rock joins Joe Rogan for a wide-ranging, heavily political conversation that opens with drug culture and the opioid crisis before pivoting to the Bud Light boycott Kid Rock came to symbolize after machine-gunning cases of the beer. He recounts becoming friends with Anheuser-Busch executives and declining a corporate deal to stay uncancellable. The pair cover transgender athletes, election integrity, the national debt, media bias, and Trump at length. Lighter segments touch on Kid Rock's gold-everything mansion, helicopters and plane crashes, hunting elk vs. whitetail, the Cybertruck and Tesla Plaid, and a closing riff on Jesus, aliens, and Sam Kinison.
