Okay, so the fact that you two know each other is, I guess, maybe inevitable, but also a little shocking. | ||
How do you know each other? | ||
Shocking. | ||
Well, because it's so perfect. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what I'm saying. | |
It's too perfect. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
We can actually have a conversation. | ||
I believe it. | ||
unidentified
|
Many men know seven. | |
This is the only friend I have where I'm the responsible one. | ||
unidentified
|
Not always. | |
More than I am with you, but yeah, you're right about that. | ||
So you met on a golf course? | ||
unidentified
|
He came out to Warwick Hills and he was on the 17th hole. | |
No, we met years before that. | ||
I didn't even golf. | ||
unidentified
|
I hated golf. | |
You're like, why don't you golf? | ||
I'm like, it's gay. | ||
Did you get a little gayer once you started? | ||
Oh, I'm completely gay now. | ||
unidentified
|
I love golf. | |
I got him to play the Pro-Am at Warwick Hills. | ||
All he wanted to do was hit a drive down the middle of Fairway. | ||
I did, first shot. | ||
unidentified
|
And you absolutely killed it. | |
I didn't really golf at the time, so we were just having fun. | ||
He drives my General Lee up there with my brother, and like, it's just a shit show. | ||
And so I'm like, let's have some fun. | ||
So I just wear a pair of overalls, crack a beer, and I'm like, and you know, these sports writers in Detroit are like, do you golf? | ||
I'm like, oh, I was going to go pro, but the music thing got in the way, so I just focused on, I'm just totally bullshitting them. | ||
And I smack one down the middle. | ||
Just killed it. | ||
No shoes, overalls. | ||
And so now these guys, until I hit my second shot, I had them all convinced. | ||
They're like, wow, he could have gone pro. | ||
And then they figured it out after I hit another ball. | ||
For that five minutes, I had them all fooled. | ||
unidentified
|
He walked really slow getting to that ball, too. | |
So that was the first time you guys hung out? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we hung out a little bit, but we became really good friends probably that one. | |
I'd say that way. | ||
I ended up staying in his place in Clarkston for that tournament every year. | ||
I stayed in my place every year. | ||
I used to have to yell. | ||
One year I was doing shows and you and Fuckhead were up in the guest house just boozing it up. | ||
Who's Fuckhead? | ||
His caddy, a South African caddy. | ||
unidentified
|
He's funny though. | |
He's funny as shit, but I'm trying to sleep because I got shows the next day and I don't mess around between shows. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
In the early years, yeah, it was a little different. | ||
You know, I stay on my game. | ||
And I'm like, you guys got to shut up, man. | ||
I got to play. | ||
What were they doing? | ||
unidentified
|
I'm like, ah, football! | |
We stayed in this little guest room up top. | ||
It had two bedrooms. | ||
But I don't know. | ||
It's probably one. | ||
I love to cook. | ||
Oh, they got lasagna going. | ||
unidentified
|
I could get him food all week long. | |
But anyway, his oven in there, I don't know how old that sandwich is, but let me tell you something. | ||
I want that oven. | ||
It's one of the best ovens I've ever cooked in. | ||
It's an electric oven. | ||
There it was. | ||
This is my old house outside Detroit. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it was amazing. | |
What did you do? | ||
You sold all that? | ||
Did you keep the oven? | ||
No. | ||
That thing's vintage. | ||
Sold all. | ||
Pretty much everything in it. | ||
unidentified
|
Signs that are so old when you go on your property and you don't keep a vintage oven like that. | |
No, I didn't keep the oven. | ||
I kept the signs. | ||
unidentified
|
I should have stole that son of a bitch. | |
I still got the codes. | ||
Most people can't appreciate a good oven from a bad oven. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, I can't. | |
So did you kick him out? | ||
No, I kind of got hard on his shit a little bit. | ||
Because, you know, I'm serious about work. | ||
And then, I think you dropped out of the tournament. | ||
Like something, he's like, my leg hurts. | ||
I had to withdraw from the tournament. | ||
Your leg hurts. | ||
I'm like, that wouldn't be that freaking handle of vodka you drank last night, would it? | ||
unidentified
|
No, that actually helped. | |
And then he's kind of on the couch. | ||
I'll never forget this, like a little kid. | ||
And he's like, and I had a show we were flying to somewhere. | ||
And he's like, and I was pissed at him. | ||
Because these shenanigans were going on. | ||
I love him like a brother. | ||
But I'm like, he had me upset. | ||
And he's like, is it okay if I go to the show with you tonight? | ||
I'm like, no, it's not okay! | ||
Of course, he ended up going to the show. | ||
I had a good time. | ||
I love him. | ||
unidentified
|
Great time. | |
That's amazing. | ||
So you're the moderate, restrained, advice-giving partner in the school. | ||
unidentified
|
Not all the time. | |
Can you name a time when you've had to pull him back? | ||
That's it. | ||
Client, attorney, privilege. | ||
Whatever the hell that thing is. | ||
I would cook them breakfast every day. | ||
For the one Buick Open you were doing, I was like, I'd have some eggs made for them, this, that, and the other. | ||
Oh, thanks, bub. | ||
You got any Diet Coke? | ||
Three Diet Cokes. | ||
I'm like, I actually almost won that one. | ||
How many do you drink a day, Diet Cokes? | ||
unidentified
|
Not as many as Daddy Trump. | |
My God, I thought I could drink them, but man, he can drink them. | ||
He's unbelievable. | ||
He does put them away. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I used to put them away. | ||
I used to have about 20, 22 of them a day. | ||
22 Diet Cokes a day? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So you're getting all your hydration from Diet Coke? | ||
unidentified
|
Pretty much, yeah. | |
I could probably outlast a camel when it comes if I have to drink water. | ||
I can't stand water. | ||
Yeah, I know what you mean. | ||
unidentified
|
I hate it. | |
See what I'm dealing with here? | ||
unidentified
|
No, but when I drink, you know, I'm a Diet Coke. | |
There's ice in there. | ||
There's water in there. | ||
100%. | ||
So why'd you pull back? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
I just don't drink as many. | ||
I drink a lot of these now. | ||
Right, because there's no vodka in Diet Coke. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Well, unless you pour something in there. | ||
Did your doctor, like how many Diet Cokes can he drink a day and still live? | ||
unidentified
|
He don't want me drinking any. | |
Really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Is it bad for you? | ||
unidentified
|
For bladder, yeah. | |
I mean, Trump's like in his 70s. | ||
Yeah, but he smokes cigarettes, so he kind of balances it out. | ||
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
It's totally right. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, nicotine and caffeine equal protein, Tucker. | |
You know? | ||
I've actually proven that. | ||
That's totally true. | ||
I meant to ask you when we talked earlier. | ||
You were talking about your heroes on the tour, other golfers you admire. | ||
Is there anyone you don't like? | ||
Bernard Langer. | ||
unidentified
|
I love Bernard. | |
He's a great guy. | ||
He just kicks my ass. | ||
I just always give him shit, because he always wins all the tournaments. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's put it in. | |
Me and Curtis Strange never got along. | ||
What's he like? | ||
unidentified
|
He just wasn't nice to me. | |
He just wasn't a nice guy to me. | ||
Who would not be nice to you? | ||
Yeah, why? | ||
He's the nicest guy you've ever met. | ||
unidentified
|
I was a rookie, and he just didn't like rookies. | |
He just didn't like me. | ||
Then I won the PGA 91, and I stole his caddy at the 91 Skins game. | ||
Really? | ||
What'd she look like? | ||
unidentified
|
She's pretty hot now. | |
Boatsy, we won the British Open together in 95. He came from me a long time, and he passed away. | ||
God, it was brutal what he went through. | ||
He got robbed. | ||
They beat him up. | ||
Next thing I know, he was in a wheelchair. | ||
And he just, I don't know, he got dementia or something. | ||
It was sad. | ||
From the beating he took? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Where was he robbed? | ||
unidentified
|
At his house in Jacksonville. | |
And all the flag. | ||
He won two U.S. Opens with Curtis. | ||
Won a few tournaments with me. | ||
But all his Ryder Cup stuff, all his flags, he took off the polls when he went. | ||
See, a caddy will take that flag off the polls when they win. | ||
And the pro will sign it. | ||
Let me try with us. | ||
No, no. | ||
And it all got stolen? | ||
unidentified
|
Robbed him and beat the living hell out of him. | |
It was sad. | ||
And killed him in the end. | ||
unidentified
|
Raped his wife. | |
I mean, it was sad. | ||
Did they ever get caught? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think so. | |
That's horrifying. | ||
unidentified
|
Way to lighten the mood, Johnny! | |
Sorry. | ||
What's the worst crime you've ever read about? | ||
unidentified
|
Damn. | |
One, I'm fixing to commit, maybe. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Damn, that's awful. | ||
So that's the caddy you stole from Strange? | ||
Did your relationship ever get better with him? | ||
unidentified
|
Not really, no. | |
I'm still waiting for an apology. | ||
Where is he? | ||
unidentified
|
Who cares? | |
So you never kind of warmed up to him? | ||
unidentified
|
Look, I can get along with anybody. | |
Yeah, I can tell. | ||
unidentified
|
He just didn't like me for some reason. | |
Oh, hey, look at here. | ||
Go to JohnDailyShop.com, folks. | ||
Get you a John Daily torch lighter. | ||
Look at that one. | ||
We got the little lighters. | ||
My favorite. | ||
That's a Richard Pryor lighter right there. | ||
unidentified
|
This is the one you like right here. | |
If you want crack cocaine for dessert. | ||
Here, that's the one you like. | ||
Creme brulee and crack cocaine. | ||
Creme brulee, yeah. | ||
So when you guys go in public, how does it work? | ||
unidentified
|
We just walk in like we're just in your... | |
That's what I love about him. | ||
He doesn't act like Kid Rock. | ||
He acts like Bobby. | ||
He's just a friend. | ||
We go out to eat. | ||
People come up a little bit, but most people respect our space, you know? | ||
People are always like, I love your security guard. | ||
unidentified
|
He's cool. | |
Yeah, yeah. | ||
That's what they call me. | ||
Security guard. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Have you ever had to hold groupies at bay? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, there's been a few, huh? | |
They're everywhere. | ||
Where were you 15 years ago? | ||
Are there a lot of groupies in the PGA Tour? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my god, yeah. | |
How are golf groupies different from rock and roll groupies? | ||
unidentified
|
Probably the same. | |
You think so? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, they're all trying to tag on to somebody that's going to think they've got money or has money or whatever. | |
I don't partake in... | ||
That lifestyle. | ||
unidentified
|
I didn't either. | |
Are there still groupies and rock and rollers or too much? | ||
At this stage in the game, you're kind of like, put them away. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, well, it's the stage in your game, of course. | ||
unidentified
|
But 15 years ago, like, pull them up! | |
Pull them up! | ||
Take your pants off! | ||
Do it all! | ||
No, but is that still a thing, or did Me Too stop all that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I'm in and out when I play. | ||
No, I get it in your case, but I mean like guys who were... | ||
32. Yeah, why wouldn't there be? | ||
Because, you know, I think, honestly, like, over the years, it's gotten kind of, I mean, how could you do anything in this day and age? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You know, in terms of, I call it having fun. | ||
Right. | ||
Like, whenever we did wild stuff back in the day, like, there was no victims. | ||
Everybody wanted to have fun. | ||
Right. | ||
It was just rock and roll. | ||
You know, it was just that and the other. | ||
And, you know, I always made it a point myself and with other people. | ||
It's like, if there was wild stuff happening, like, let's treat everybody very kind. | ||
Very nice. | ||
There's no reason to be mean. | ||
Of course. | ||
Especially in a situation that's weird. | ||
Right. | ||
You know? | ||
Everybody was trying to hang out and do those things when I was playing for 50 people in Cleveland, Ohio. | ||
You know? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I kind of feel bad for the younger generation because it seems like it was kind of looking back and I would think that everybody involved with that. | ||
With all the madness that was going on, I was having a good time. | ||
We always had a strict policy. | ||
It's like, hey, you don't mess with somebody's girlfriend or wife. | ||
There's just certain things that are just way out of bounds. | ||
But everybody wants to have a good time, especially when you're young. | ||
But there's just a right and a wrong way to do it. | ||
You know, I mean, nowadays you see kids, it's like, you know, I think they're scared to go up and tell a girl, you know, like, hey, you're pretty. | ||
unidentified
|
No, they'll text me. | |
They're like, ah, you raped me! | ||
unidentified
|
You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I just told you you were pretty. | |
Right, so, I mean, there's not, you can't really have, like, a Led Zeppelin tour. | ||
I've been out of the games. | ||
unidentified
|
It's the phones, you know. | |
You know, back in the day, you didn't have phones. | ||
Well, life has turned into a picture. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's just nothing but a picture, a video. | |
You don't go anywhere. | ||
unidentified
|
People are always looking to get us doing something wrong because that makes the news. | |
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
But if we, you know, give a kid a hundred bucks for selling golf balls and buy all his balls and now you keep him selling, that never gets out anymore. | |
No, of course not. | ||
That doesn't get clicks and views. | ||
unidentified
|
Nah, it doesn't get any. | |
It has to be bad media. | ||
It's sad. | ||
Everything's turned so negative. | ||
And sometimes I even use it, you know, to like promote things. | ||
I'll just go stir the pot a little bit whenever I got to promote and the media will bite on the hook. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey Tucker, I'll drink yours. | |
Would you mind? | ||
unidentified
|
Would you like one bottle? | |
What's that? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Good boy. | |
Why do you call it good boy? | ||
unidentified
|
Because I'm the bad boy of golf. | |
So we thought we'd change my image and call it good boy. | ||
By selling vodka? | ||
Does that work? | ||
You think I'm a bad boy? | ||
unidentified
|
It says good boy, but you drink enough of these, you'll become a bad boy. | |
I promise you. | ||
Hey, look, everybody's drinking water that says liquid death. | ||
unidentified
|
I know. | |
Really? | ||
You kind of just went the other way with it. | ||
What's the most number of those you've consumed at once? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, I can drink four of these in a day. | |
How many? | ||
unidentified
|
Forty, easily. | |
Forty? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I've sat with him when I drank three bottles of vodka. | ||
Confirmed. | ||
unidentified
|
Back in the day, it was like three bottles of Jack Daniels or Crown, but since I got cancer, I went to vodka and went to the clear shit. | |
Just because it's healthier. | ||
Just keeping it healthy. | ||
Yeah, I know what you mean. | ||
I think there comes a point in every man's life... | ||
unidentified
|
You had to dial it back, just, you know, go to two packs. | |
Two packs a day and a bottle of vodka, I have cancer. | ||
No, I do. | ||
Do you feel a health improvement moving from the dark liquor to the light liquor? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
No. | ||
I think doctors are lying about that. | ||
When they say, no, drink a handle of vodka instead of the Jack, I don't think there's any improvement. | ||
unidentified
|
They say the brown's bad for your body, but hell. | |
It's bad for your soul. | ||
unidentified
|
What soul? | |
I got soul. | ||
Makes you crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
No, whiskey does make you. | ||
Ever since I got off of it. | ||
Tequila. | ||
unidentified
|
I can't drink tequila. | |
I can't drink that. | ||
I can't smell it. | ||
I've drank tequila three times. | ||
I've been to jail three times. | ||
unidentified
|
I used to drink the worm in college to get a big thing of Long Island iced tea for the golf team. | |
Oh, I remember that. | ||
I think drinking vodka is differently than I have witnessed. | ||
Turning a handle of vodka up like this. | ||
Having a vodka drink. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
A little more manageable. | ||
You've been in jail three times? | ||
Yeah. | ||
For what? | ||
Fighting. | ||
It's usually for standing up for somebody. | ||
Yes. | ||
To be honest. | ||
How many of those fights did you win? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
I was drunk. | ||
You didn't even score at that point? | ||
Waffle House. | ||
unidentified
|
I remember the Waffle House. | |
Something in Mount Clemens. | ||
We're young. | ||
What was the other one? | ||
You actually got arrested at Waffle House? | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's a big story, Good Hunker. | ||
That was like before it was cool to get arrested. | ||
That was before everybody got arrested at Waffle House. | ||
I was standing up with some girls. | ||
unidentified
|
He was sponsored by Waffle House for a while. | |
I love Waffle House. | ||
You know what I did, and I think people should hear this, is what I've always tried to do is take a negative and turn it into a positive. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
So that incident happened, and I had my reasoning, and it was just an old-fashioned fight. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right? | ||
Nobody had guns. | ||
You know, there was windows dropped and it was rather violent. | ||
You know, things happened. | ||
But, you know, it's crazy. | ||
My record went number one. | ||
I only had one number one record in my career. | ||
It was Rock and Roll Jesus and the thing went number one the next day. | ||
I'm like, they just keep rewarding me for what seems like bad behavior. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Defending the honor of a woman at Waffle House? | ||
I'm not going to call that bad. | ||
I went back to... | ||
It's a long story, but I went back to that Waffle House months later and had people come pay money to take a picture, sign autographs, and gave it to a local abuse shelter for women. | ||
I was like, let's take this and do something positive out of it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Which I've always tried to have that mindset. | ||
You know, things happen. | ||
People get wild. | ||
Blah, blah, blah. | ||
They get a little out of hand. | ||
I wish it was more like that. | ||
Like, you know, screw you. | ||
Hey, sorry, man. | ||
Have you seen the guy you fought? | ||
Only in court. | ||
Really? | ||
He was not happy. | ||
Why? | ||
He was a rather large black gentleman. | ||
Yep. | ||
And it was me and my band members and we're all like little skinny white kids. | ||
unidentified
|
And he didn't come out well in that ordeal. | |
Oh, so he was humiliated. | ||
A little bit. | ||
Do you learn anything in prison? | ||
It wasn't prison. | ||
It's like jail. | ||
No, but when you did the hard time. | ||
Did it change you? | ||
They let us have our phones. | ||
We're taking pictures in there. | ||
unidentified
|
Are you serious? | |
What kind of jail? | ||
Trust me, I'm no hardened criminal from the mean streets of Romeo, Michigan being raised very middle to upper class. | ||
Did you ever get arrested? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I wore the orange suit. | ||
It was a great Hooters ad. | ||
What happened? | ||
unidentified
|
It happened at Hooters. | |
No, it actually wasn't. | ||
Wait, so you got arrested at Waffle House and you got arrested at Hooters? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, because I didn't have a ride. | |
Yeah. | ||
Fair. | ||
unidentified
|
And the manager was so cool. | |
He said, look, I'll put him on my motorcycle. | ||
I'll take him back. | ||
I was with a certain great country star. | ||
We went on the road for three or four days. | ||
They were writing songs and stuff. | ||
And I had the 100% card, so, of course. | ||
I had that card. | ||
You got me those cards. | ||
Wait, what's 100% card? | ||
It says on the back of it, if I remember Hooters, it's like, even though I make the big bucks, I'm sticking Hooters with the tab. | ||
I'm sticking Hooters with the tab, except for drinks. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
They wouldn't pay for your drinks, but all the food is free. | ||
It's like free wings. | ||
unidentified
|
It's the best card on the planet, because Hooters has the best food on the planet. | |
That's a tough sell. | ||
unidentified
|
We'll get you one. | |
Yeah. | ||
I've never been to Hooters. | ||
unidentified
|
You need one? | |
You've never been to Hooters? | ||
Never. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Never. | ||
What planet do you live on? | ||
I don't know. | ||
And I've never been arrested at Walthouse. | ||
And I feel like I've led a pretty varied and interesting life. | ||
But even though I make the big bucks, I'm sticking Hooters with 100% of the bill. | ||
Except for the tip. | ||
unidentified
|
Except for the tip. | |
Dude, that almost perfect recall. | ||
unidentified
|
So that only works at HOA stores. | |
So like if you come to the province stores, which is 27 stores. | ||
This says John Daly, Hooters spokesperson. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
That's incredible. | ||
That's better than the African-American Express card from African-American Express, the black card. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You can't say black card anymore. | ||
unidentified
|
That thing weighs 10 pounds. | |
Wait, wait. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I want to step on your story. | ||
So you're at Hooters, and even though you have the 100% card, you wind up leaving on the back of a motorcycle with a country music store. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I didn't. | |
They got arrested. | ||
If a guy was running his mouth, I was asleep in my buddy's bus. | ||
And I woke up and get out here. | ||
I didn't say a word. | ||
What are you doing? | ||
I was sleeping. | ||
Hey, don't get violent at me. | ||
I said, don't, sir. | ||
I was sleeping. | ||
It was just the police? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And where's your ride? | ||
I go, well, it's in the bus. | ||
And then the guy I was with kind of kicked me off the bus. | ||
That 100% card paid for all their drinks, all their food. | ||
Everywhere we went was during March Madness. | ||
And he wanted to watch the basketball because one of his favorite teams was in there. | ||
So you were just going from Hooters to Hooters? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we were going show to show. | |
We all love Hooters. | ||
And I love him today. | ||
We're best friends still. | ||
But he says, I can't have this. | ||
You know, I got this on my bus and all that. | ||
I said, dude, whatever. | ||
I can get a flight home. | ||
No problem. | ||
And they leave. | ||
General Magic comes out and says, I'll give you a ride, John. | ||
I'll get you a hotel. | ||
I was going to have Anna come get me. | ||
We're going to fly home. | ||
Puts me in the back of a car because the other guy was being kind of not so nice. | ||
So when we get to the police station, miss identity. | ||
They thought I was the one raving and being a lunatic, but it was the other guy. | ||
He comes up, he goes, sorry, John, I'm out of here. | ||
So I stayed. | ||
Jail cell. | ||
Hey, they had ESPN. They had a meal. | ||
This doesn't sound accurate. | ||
unidentified
|
Was there drinking involved? | |
I was drunk as hell. | ||
But I went to sleep on the bus. | ||
That's all I did. | ||
You're sleeping on a bus outside Hooters. | ||
Someone wakes you up from a dead sleep. | ||
You're drunk. | ||
And then they just bring you to a prison cell? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And the chief, when he found out who I was, he said, you could sue the hell out of us because we did mistake the identity. | ||
Oh, come on. | ||
Next topic. | ||
This ain't going nowhere. | ||
unidentified
|
I swear to God. | |
He's been thrown out of my shows. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I didn't get thrown out. | |
I had to sit on the steps. | ||
How do you get thrown out of a Kid Rock show? | ||
You're one of my best friends. | ||
unidentified
|
Never been thrown out of the show. | |
He's got no shirt on. | ||
He's got a Jim Beam bottle tilted like this. | ||
unidentified
|
He's like, ah! | |
I was looking for the crown. | ||
I'm like, where's John? | ||
They're like, they had to toss you. | ||
I'm like, what? | ||
unidentified
|
No, they made me sit on the step. | |
Right, yeah. | ||
They're barely getting tossed. | ||
unidentified
|
I didn't say a word. | |
I was like, oh shit, I don't want to piss him off. | ||
But you were shirtless at a Kid Rock show. | ||
unidentified
|
As long as I had my pants on, I was okay. | |
Everywhere. | ||
He's got no fucks in his pocket, dude. | ||
Yeah, I noticed that. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a Kid Rock concert, hell. | |
Girls take their shirts off, why can't I? I'd pay to see that. | ||
That's called inclusion. | ||
Have you been to a lot of... | ||
unidentified
|
It's equal rights. | |
Let's go politics. | ||
It's civil rights, damn it. | ||
Have you been to a lot of his shows? | ||
unidentified
|
A lot of them. | |
I've been to shows when he didn't know I was there. | ||
I didn't want to bother him. | ||
He goes, I ain't putting you in that green room. | ||
Well, come on. | ||
No, that's in Nashville. | ||
We set up this dressing room, like, it's all these... | ||
People would do these dressing rooms to impress radio people and stuff, and they're like, so-and-so group does sushi, and they lay out the spread, and they're trying to get good graces with them, get their songs, play this, that, and the other. | ||
And I'm like, I'm beyond that. | ||
I'm like, if I could put Spam, bologna, some Wonder Bread, Moon Pies in there, and then put some liquor in there. | ||
Put some vodka, whiskey, and beer. | ||
Was it Nashville? | ||
They were like, John Daly's back there making everybody spam and bologna sandwiches. | ||
unidentified
|
I made a sandwich for your mom and dad. | |
It was great. | ||
It was like his chef. | ||
How do you live in modern America completely outside the boundaries? | ||
unidentified
|
Because we stay outside the boundaries. | |
We just like good people, like-minded people. | ||
Actually, we'll hang with anybody. | ||
We don't care. | ||
Somebody's cool, they're cool. | ||
That just reminded me of a crazy story. | ||
I agree with that. | ||
The cruise we did for like 10 years, the chillin' the most cruise. | ||
We had the number one cruise, you know, where a couple thousand, two, three thousand of your biggest fans go on there. | ||
And there was always people wanting to do coverage on it. | ||
We let GQ Magazine do one. | ||
And that was fine. | ||
It was like, they want to do reality shows. | ||
And so I go, no, these people are just going to make fun of my fans and me. | ||
I just don't want them around. | ||
Well, these two gay kids infiltrated through another band. | ||
And they wrote this whole blog. | ||
You could probably Google it. | ||
Like, put gay kids, kid rock, chill in the most crews or something. | ||
They wrote this whole blog about, like, we wanted to go to the heart of Trump country. | ||
You know, you could see they were going in as Negative Nancy. | ||
And they write this whole article. | ||
And it was so endearing because at the end they were like... | ||
We actually had the best time of our lives. | ||
No one gave a shit. | ||
It's like, if you're cool and you want to party, man, come on. | ||
What was it? | ||
So you're on the boat for a week or whatever? | ||
It was like four nights or whatever, yeah. | ||
Where? | ||
You would go to different places, mostly the Caribbean. | ||
You leave out of Miami. | ||
I think we left out of New Orleans a couple times. | ||
But fuck, I get seasick. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Like that first show was always awesome. | ||
I'm on point. | ||
And then that second show, I'm like, poof! | ||
Throwing up in my mouth. | ||
Train wreck. | ||
So what's it like to be on a boat with all your fans? | ||
It makes you feel like the most blessed, greatest person on earth. | ||
That these people love you so much and you love them back. | ||
And it's crazy because you feel so good and everyone's having such a good time. | ||
Like, yeah, people are getting messed up and having a good time, but guys are opening doors for women. | ||
People are taking care of people when they have too much to drink. | ||
Like, everyone's kind of, for lack of a better term, in the same boat. | ||
Yeah, where else are you going to go? | ||
It's just a bunch of like-minded people having a good time. | ||
They don't care where you're from or what you do. | ||
There's people there that work for, like, special people in the government. | ||
There was high school principals. | ||
Like, you know, there's just regular working-class people. | ||
There's rich people, like, just like this. | ||
And then the bands. | ||
You know, there's like 12 bands on there that are all different. | ||
I always take an old-school rapper, some country guys, like this, that, and the other. | ||
Everybody's just having the time of their life. | ||
You know, during COVID, we kind of stopped doing them, and I'm pretty confident we always joke, like, if I die, people would do this without me, just to get together with those people, because they're the ones that made us. | ||
It's just like this Rock the Country thing we're doing. | ||
I was talking to the people that we're doing it with, and we want to create a great environment for them, but I'm like... | ||
No one's going to create a better environment than the people that come. | ||
No, that's totally right. | ||
For themselves and for each other. | ||
Like, that's going to be the thing, is the people. | ||
It always is the people. | ||
You know, I'm going to do my best to entertain them and give them what they want. | ||
So is Jason Aldean and all the other people. | ||
But the people are going to be what make it. | ||
We just got to give them, if you build it, you know, that type of thing. | ||
No, it's totally right. | ||
So would you, like, go down to the bar after your show and... | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
That's the problem. | ||
Yeah! | ||
Yeah. | ||
Casino, bar. | ||
You want to go see other bands play. | ||
We had comedians on there. | ||
You know, different stuff. | ||
And you want to go to all the shows. | ||
And then next thing you know, you feel like you're one of the cruisers. | ||
And I'm like, oh, damn, I got to work. | ||
You got to work. | ||
It's very tough to maintain because you're having such a good time with everybody else. | ||
That sounds like a lot. | ||
You must have been exhausted by the end. | ||
Oh, never been laid out like that in my life. | ||
And Audrey will tell you the same thing. | ||
The first couple, like maybe the first three, four we did was like three, four days to recover. | ||
I'm pretty good at recovery. | ||
How do you do it? | ||
I'm a seasoned vet. | ||
You lay on the freaking couch, sit in the sauna. | ||
But I would be seasick too. | ||
If you've ever been seasick, I would rather have the flu. | ||
I'd rather be punched in the face than be seasick. | ||
Oh, I agree with that. | ||
And my whole family gets it. | ||
I look at my phone while we're driving, I'm like... | ||
It's terrible. | ||
How do you recover after you have 40 of those? | ||
unidentified
|
Start drinking again. | |
Is that true? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
Do you have like a time limit in the morning? | ||
unidentified
|
If you fall on a horse, you're going to get back on it. | |
I think that's right. | ||
unidentified
|
How's that cigar? | |
It's actually tremendous. | ||
unidentified
|
It's good, isn't it? | |
Yeah, it is. | ||
I don't get to smoke enough of them. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you're going to get plenty of them. | |
Thank you for that. | ||
I'm going to smoke one every day. | ||
So you don't, I mean, even as you age, you don't have problems recovering. | ||
It ain't getting easier. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not getting easier, but right now I'm still okay. | |
Cornbread and iced teas took the place of pills and 90 proof. | ||
Cornbread and iced tea? | ||
Oh, heck, junior line. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
We used to go to Taco Bell on a hangover morning, you know, at like 10 in the morning, and order, you know, four tacos with extra cheese, big Mountain Dew and some Chalupas, and then wash it down with beer and cigarettes. | ||
And it would just say to your body, like, I'm not, you know, I'm not going to succumb. | ||
Daddy's home. | ||
unidentified
|
You've got to do that at 2 in the morning, though. | |
Not 10 in the morning. | ||
No, you've got to do it at 10 in the morning. | ||
Because 10 in the morning, it's so aggressive that you just say to your body, I mean, I don't drink at all anymore, but I used to. | ||
You just have to reestablish control. | ||
Do you know what I mean? | ||
I don't know what that means. | ||
At 6 to 2 a.m., you're just getting warmed up. | ||
At 2 a.m., you're like, all right, let's go. | ||
At 10 a.m., you're like... | ||
Yeah. | ||
All right. | ||
Let's think about this. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I'm in bed at 10 p.m., so... | ||
I'm in bed at 10.30. | ||
Are you really? | ||
I'm up at 3.30, 4 a.m. | ||
What are you doing at 4 a.m.? | ||
Checking my emails and stuff. | ||
Like, I get all my business done. | ||
I just get that time by myself with nobody bothering me. | ||
Do you take a nap? | ||
I take a nap every day, yeah. | ||
For how long? | ||
45 minutes to an hour. | ||
Do you really? | ||
unidentified
|
Every day? | |
Putting out a little Bob Ross. | ||
Did you really put on Bob Ross? | ||
Oh, it's so calming. | ||
Bob Ross the painter? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
The way his voice. | ||
I've been doing it since like when I used to have to tape it on a Betamax machine and then I would, you know, I was a music nerd, technical nerd in that space. | ||
I engineered studios and stuff. | ||
Are you listening to this? | ||
Do you know who Bob Ross was? | ||
So I would take those outputs and put it onto a cassette tape and then put it in my Walkman. | ||
Do you guys know who Bob Ross was? | ||
Everybody knows Bob Ross. | ||
Everybody knows Bob Ross. | ||
So you listen to Bob Ross like a soundtrack? | ||
It's like meditation music. | ||
His voice just calms me down. | ||
unidentified
|
You know how I've taken that? | |
Put golf on. | ||
Really? | ||
That too. | ||
That works. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
No disrespect to the commentators, but man, they got the voices that just... | ||
I think golf would wind you up. | ||
They don't show enough shots. | ||
Oh. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, and the game's so slow, a guy could be putting, and he's like, oh, well, we'll come back in a minute. | |
Yeah, they do talk a lot. | ||
unidentified
|
Five minutes later, he still hadn't putted. | |
You're going like, okay, there's another commercial. | ||
Three minutes. | ||
They talk like all these fucking Hollywood actors are doing it. | ||
Have you noticed this? | ||
This is a big pet peeve of mine. | ||
You're watching some streaming show of this, that, and the other, and for some reason, the majority of these people want to talk. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
And you're trying to get engaged in the show, and then the music comes on, like, bomb! | |
You're like, God damn it! | ||
You're like, can't you just talk in a normal voice? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you know what that is? | |
I know that some scripts... | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you know what that is? | |
Sometimes, 18, they have the glass open, so if somebody's putting, you can actually hear the echo if they're talking. | ||
That's why a lot of them talk really softly. | ||
I think we're talking about two different things. | ||
unidentified
|
In golf, I mean... | |
I'm talking about regular, like, streaming, like, movies and shit. | ||
unidentified
|
Like, everyone's like, I'm so cool I talk like this. | |
You're like, I can't fucking hear you. | ||
Like, you're an actor. | ||
Maybe you want to get across a dialogue. | ||
I understand things might call for a whisper, like if a mob guy's telling something to somebody in some whatever show. | ||
You're like, but they all, not all, but the majority of them are like, hey, I'm so cool I talk like this. | ||
I'm like, I can't fucking hear you. | ||
I'm trying to enjoy your show. | ||
What, are you a grandfather now? | ||
Ah, twice. | ||
unidentified
|
I am. | |
I know it's unbelievable. | ||
Junior's got some beautiful kids. | ||
Are you a grandfather? | ||
unidentified
|
Not yet. | |
You're close. | ||
Are you encouraging it? | ||
He doesn't have a choice. | ||
None of us do. | ||
unidentified
|
Nah, let them do what they do. | |
Are you a grandpa yet? | ||
I'm not. | ||
And I'm bitter about it. | ||
You can't be a biblical patriarch until you're a grandfather. | ||
Period. | ||
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
How old were you when you became a grandfather? | ||
Oh man, my granddaughter's eight and I'm 52. That's incredible. | ||
It gets cold in Detroit. | ||
I had my son when I was 23, and he had my first grandchild when he was 21. Good for him! | ||
We could have the chance, if I can keep my shit together, maybe I'm five generations at some point. | ||
Easily. | ||
You could easily do that. | ||
That's a key point. | ||
I gotta keep my shit together. | ||
Do you play guitar? | ||
You play guitar. | ||
unidentified
|
A little bit. | |
Enough to write. | ||
Just enough to write. | ||
We've got a guitar right here. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a guitar player right there. | |
No. | ||
Look at this thing. | ||
What is this, for my granddaughter? | ||
unidentified
|
It's a baby tender. | |
Let's have some fun with these drinks. | ||

Only 4.5% of alcohol. | ||
No additive sugars, y'all. | ||

That was so good. | ||
Have you recorded that? | ||
unidentified
|
No, I just made it up. | |
That was amazing! | ||
unidentified
|
Just made it up. | |
When you got to gluten-free, then it was like, I wanted to start drinking it after 21 years. | ||
unidentified
|
No, you're not having it. | |
I'm doing it for you. | ||
I'm not going to. | ||
But that's incredible. | ||
Have you guys ever done alcohol commercials before together? | ||
We never got paid for it. | ||
unidentified
|

unidentified
|
How long can you last? | |
Don't be a pussy. | ||
Not too many people without drinking, though, have they? | ||
Nobody I've ever seen. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
How do you hit 40 of those and stay standing? | ||
unidentified
|
That's what I love about Good Boys. | |
There's no carbonation. | ||
There's no bloatness. | ||
It's unbelievable. | ||
You piss your brains out on these, which is a good thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's a good thing. | |
Well, when you've got bladder cancer, you're going to pee a lot anyway. | ||
Does that increase your... | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
I've been sitting here for 30 minutes and didn't even take a piss. | ||
I might have pissed in my pants. | ||
pants. | ||
I don't even know it. | ||
But it's not... | ||
I mean, the carbonation is the problem. | ||
It's not the booze. | ||
That does not affect you. | ||
Are you asking that with a straight face? | ||
I don't know. | ||
That was pretty good. | ||
I once drank 24 beers on a flight from Tokyo Narita. | ||
That was my lifetime record. | ||
And that was a lot for me. | ||
unidentified
|
How many hours is that? | |
It's like 12 hours. | ||
unidentified
|
That's only two beers. | |
Right, I know. | ||
And I was kind of impressed by that. | ||
unidentified
|
I drank that from Vegas back to Florida one time. | |
That's impressive. | ||
unidentified
|
The funniest was we're playing the... | |
I drank that on a flight to Nashville to Memphis. | ||
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
Phil Nicholson. | ||
We're playing the Battle of the Bridges, right? | ||
And it's that lighted golf tournament. | ||
I think it was me and Phil playing Tiger and Hank Keeney, I think it was. | ||
Anyway, or John... | ||
No, it was Ratif Goosen. | ||
Ratif lit it up, but we're getting done, right? | ||
And it's about a 400... | ||
Drive back to the clubhouse in the cart. | ||
I had a six-pack of Melo Light back then ready. | ||
I go, T.W., you want a beer? | ||
I drank all six of them. | ||
Gave him the bag that they were in. | ||
I said, here, you want to throw those away? | ||
He goes, you drink all those? | ||
I said, well, I was thirsty. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
Do you punch a hole in the bottom? | ||
unidentified
|
No, I don't do that. | |
Yeah. | ||
People can shoot a beer. | ||
One time this... | ||
Kid from Oklahoma, I'm doing a Boys and Girls Club tournament at my tournament at my golf course in Dardanelle. | ||
And this Oklahoma guy says... | ||
And he had a shot, he had a beer shotgun contest between the kids. | ||
That kid from Oklahoma was good, that 12-year-old. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, he was pretty good. | |
No, this guy was like, I bet you 5,000 I could down a beer before you. | ||
I said, I bet you 10,000 I could down two beers without using my hands before you get down with one. | ||
So I had my bar and my girl, Katie, come over and say... | ||
You ready, dude? | ||
So it was two bottles of Miller Lite. | ||
She stuck him down in my... | ||
Right down there, I was done. | ||
He didn't have half of his done yet. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
unidentified
|
It's easy. | |
You just got a straight pipe for a throat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Well, now I got the lap band. | ||
I can't chug him like I used to, but... | ||
Does that affect your drinking? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Well, once it opens up during the day, then it goes full go. | ||
Like right now, I could down this in no time. | ||
No, he couldn't. | ||
unidentified
|
He's that guy. | |
I bet you can't. | ||
He's like, I can too. | ||
I bet you can't hit that golf ball at my neighbor's house, hit his house, and then do a belly flop in the pool. | ||
He's like, I can too! | ||
Did it. | ||
Did you really? | ||
You hit the house with a golf ball? | ||
Well, he doesn't like his neighbor. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think you liked your neighbor much. | |
I don't think he liked you. | ||
No, he was pissing me off the time. | ||
Sparks flying off the brick pavers by the pool. | ||
unidentified
|
He's like, No, I said, look, I'll hit some balls. | |
You want me to hit some balls? | ||
You had a bunch of people. | ||
What's our boy that played hockey, your cousin? | ||
Awesome guy. | ||
Chelios? | ||
unidentified
|
Chelios was there. | |
And I said, okay, I'll do it as long as you play some music and play in the Pro-Am with me. | ||
He thought about it, thought about it. | ||
He goes, all right. | ||
So I run to my phone. | ||
I said, all right, tour, get ready. | ||
Kid Rock's going to play in the Pro-Am with me. | ||
Put it down. | ||
It was worth it. | ||
unidentified
|
It was. | |
I got him hooked on golf. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
How did you learn? | |
The two hardest people that I got hooked on golf was him and Jamie Johnson. | ||
Yeah, we both love it now. | ||
Jamie Johnson, the singer? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is he a good guy? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, the greatest guy. | |
Sweetheart. | ||
Greatest guy. | ||
God, he's talented. | ||
Oh, he's so talented. | ||
Yes, yes. | ||
He's so talented. | ||
unidentified
|
He's awesome. | |
One of our favorite people. | ||
unidentified
|
He's coming from Miami, Oklahoma, going back to Nashville. | |
He calls me and says, Hey, man, I'm coming to see you. | ||
This is my house right off 40. I go, what are you doing? | ||
He goes, yeah, I'm going to come play some golf. | ||
I go, what? | ||
No way, you don't play golf. | ||
He goes, yeah, I need a lesson. | ||
I go, oh, here we go. | ||
We sat on the driving range for four hours and sat in the smoking room, had a few drinks, and off he went. | ||
He goes, thank you, bud. | ||
Love you. | ||
I'll see you at your tournament. | ||
He has not missed one of my charity events. | ||
Did he get good? | ||
unidentified
|
He still struggles because Jamie's a Marine. | |
He'd tax everything. | ||
But he'd commit himself to something. | ||
unidentified
|
He got his pilot's license. | |
He's a smart individual. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, brilliant. | |
Very smart. | ||
When he sets his mind to something, he's going to do it. | ||
unidentified
|
You want him talking about planes? | |
Let me tell you something. | ||
He knows planes. | ||
He's like, hey, Rock, when are you going to let me take that bird for a spin? | ||
I'm like... | ||
This isn't like, you know, a new doom buggy. | ||
It's not a 172. I don't know if you can go take it for a spin, per se. | ||
No, it's a big plane. | ||
unidentified
|
He's a sweetheart. | |
But how do you learn golf, like, in your midlife? | ||
You learn how to pick up. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not anything, I mean. | |
Like, I golf with him and all these pros, you know, I'm in Jupiter, Florida, Dustin, and all those guys, you know, great friends. | ||
And I just learn, like, you know, you hit a bad shot or don't hold the group up. | ||
Just pick it up. | ||
Go to the next hole, try to hit. | ||
Again, hit some shots. | ||
It's really a great way I've found, like, what I love about it is to spend time uninterrupted in an outdoor setting with friends. | ||
Kind of like hunting. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Or something like that. | ||
You know, I could take buddies, you know, went to grade school with or whatever. | ||
We'll go have a big time in a course. | ||
unidentified
|
It's my favorite. | |
Have some drinks. | ||
Always beautiful. | ||
I love very manicured stuff and things like that. | ||
I'm a very organized person, as you said you were. | ||
Just to spend that time with friends uninterrupted. | ||
But you don't get mad at yourself or embarrassed when you... | ||
No, I know what I'm good at. | ||
unidentified
|
It ain't golf. | |
The only club I know he's ever thrown was at Steve Smith at Jamie's Tournament. | ||
I bet him $100. | ||
unidentified
|
He literally threw it. | |
No, I duffed my shot. | ||
unidentified
|
No, this is on the tee box. | |
I know, remember? | ||
I duffed my shot and Steve's like, you suck, blah, blah, blah, my partner. | ||
And I'm like, I was like, I'll bet you $100 you can't hit it past mine. | ||
That probably went 20 yards. | ||
So he gets his back swing. | ||
I take my driver and I throw it. | ||
And he smacks my driver and his ball went 10 feet. | ||
I'm like, pay me, motherfucker. | ||
unidentified
|
And then it turned into a shit show because I ran over clubs. | |
Somebody put sand in somebody's bag. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know who that was. | |
Somebody filled up somebody's bag with sand, then you ran over somebody's bag. | ||
It was shenanigans. | ||
I was like, this isn't golf. | ||
Where was this? | ||
unidentified
|
Jamie Johnson's in Mobile. | |
No, Montgomery. | ||
unidentified
|
Montgomery, his golf course. | |
He bought a golf course, too, after that. | ||
Really? | ||
unidentified
|
He sold it now. | |
What is a golf course? | ||
What does that cost? | ||
unidentified
|
It's brutal. | |
What do you mean? | ||
It's probably different. | ||
It's probably different pricing in Montgomery, Alabama than it is in like Long Island, New York. | ||
unidentified
|
My green fees are 40 bucks a round. | |
But if you wanted to buy a golf course in Arkansas, what would it cost you? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, it depends on which one it is. | |
But mine, I got, you know, kind of really nothing in a way. | ||
I mean, it was... | ||
The club was struggling, and I said, I'll take it over. | ||
And we built the back nine in 94, 95. He's got a freaking golf course in Australia. | ||
I'm over touring in Australia. | ||
He's like, oh, hey, Bob, go to my golf course. | ||
I'm like, I didn't have a fucking golf course in Australia. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, that's my Lloyd Williams. | |
That was his golf course. | ||
Yeah, well, it was your buddy's. | ||
But, like, you walk in there, you think it's his because his shit's everywhere, and it's private. | ||
There's nobody on it. | ||
unidentified
|
Lloyd Williams. | |
Beautiful golf course. | ||
I met him in Australia. | ||
I golfed with Shane Warren. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
He was a good dude. | ||
He was the best cricket player. | ||
I didn't know nothing about cricket. | ||
I can't remember. | ||
You hooked me up with yourself. | ||
You didn't grow up with cricket? | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
I still don't understand the game. | |
But Shane was unbelievable. | ||
He was like the superstar of Australia. | ||
What a great guy, man. | ||
unidentified
|
Great guy. | |
Married Elizabeth Ward. | ||
That gorgeous thing. | ||
Elizabeth Hurley. | ||
unidentified
|
Hurley, sorry. | |
Elizabeth Hurley. | ||
Elizabeth Ward. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
Elizabeth Hurley. | ||
It's a girl from Darnell. | ||
Did she own Montgomery Ward? | ||
unidentified
|
But she's beautiful. | |
I got paired with him in the Dunhill one year. | ||
But anyway, he started one day cricket. | ||
He was like the baddest cricket player. | ||
Cool, dude. | ||
unidentified
|
The baddest cricket player that ever lived. | |
He's one of the best. | ||
He's one of the best. | ||
God bless his soul. | ||
Thanks for putting me with him. | ||
unidentified
|
Had a heart attack. | |
At what age? | ||
Young. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't even think he was 50 yet, was he? | |
When did he have a heart attack? | ||
unidentified
|
Just a couple years ago. | |
A lot of heart attacks recently. | ||
unidentified
|
See, I believe if you keep doing the same thing... | |
Oh, come on now! | ||
You're the last person I would expect to take an anti-science position like that. | ||
I had to take that stupid vaccine. | ||
I'm just kidding! | ||
I didn't have to, but it was like, they had me roped in, like, because my dad had cancer. | ||
unidentified
|
I took the Johnson& Johnson just so I could travel. | |
I'm like, I want to be around my dad. | ||
So I believed all this fucking horse shit. | ||
But I also came up to the conclusion, I'm like, man, the shit I put in my body the last 25 years, that thing ain't going to affect me. | ||
unidentified
|
That's exactly what I said, right? | |
That's exactly what I said. | ||
And I'll do it. | ||
Well, I had to. | ||
But I was adamant about my children, my grandchildren. | ||
I'm like, don't touch it. | ||
No. | ||
That's exactly right. | ||
A friend of mine was trying to visit his brother in the hospital with cancer. | ||
They wouldn't let him in. | ||
He took it and got heart attack. | ||
Yeah, terrible. | ||
You've heard that story too many times. | ||
That's a real, that actually happened. | ||
unidentified
|
Was it 2012, 2013? | |
I read up more people died of the flu that year than COVID people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Did you know anyone who died of COVID? Oh yeah, Joe Diffie. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what they say. | |
Did people really die of COVID? I don't know. | ||
I never knew anyone who did. | ||
I know someone who died of the vax. | ||
A lot of people were overweight. | ||
I knew people who died. | ||
My buddy's dad. | ||
unidentified
|
But the thing was, hospitals would get money if you put on their... | |
Saying they died of COVID. We're going to get killed for all this. | ||
Now we're like the conspiracy guys. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, I'm just saying. | |
It was a fact, right? | ||
I didn't know anyone. | ||
This is not a scientific study. | ||
I'm just saying. | ||
unidentified
|
I never met one person who died of COVID. It was a fact that if you, I heard if you put them down as COVID, the hospitals would get money. | |
They got like $170,000. | ||
No, but just because you died in a motorcycle accident doesn't mean you didn't die of COVID. Everybody was saying if you died in a motorcycle accident, you had COVID. 100% you did. | ||
There are some shenanigans going on there. | ||
Just like, can anybody prove the Alexa was stolen? | ||
Apparently not, but just in my heart, like, there are some shenanigans going on. | ||
I don't know what they were. | ||
unidentified
|
Just because they stopped counting in the swing states overnight? | |
And you woke up and Trump had lost? | ||
It was totally on the level. | ||
Shut up. | ||
Insurrectionist. | ||
I'm the erectionist. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, we're Republicans. | |
Hey, Tucker, we're Republicans. | ||
We're racist and terrorist. | ||
Oh, 100%. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm a Nazi, too, by the way. | |
I'm a transphobic, homophobic, claustrophobic. | ||
You're not claustrophobic, are you? | ||
I have claustrophobia, actually. | ||
unidentified
|
That was true. | |
The greatest thing, that show you did with Whoopi Goldberg, what was that show called? | ||
And that lady, you were on there and you called her up. | ||
I did that on Fox News. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
It wasn't Fox News. | ||
Yes, it was. | ||
unidentified
|
Because she called you a racist and you go, I got a black child, you. | |
Bitch. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
I don't think it went down like that. | ||
I was in my honky-tony with my granddaughter. | ||
I got canceled from a parade. | ||
I did get canceled once from a parade, but I didn't because I got asked to do six other parades. | ||
I promised my granddaughter she was excited to be in a parade. | ||
That's why I was going to do it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So I'm like, we'll find a parade, honey. | ||
We found one in the set and the other. | ||
So effectively, it didn't cancel me because I was turning down parades at that point. | ||
But why'd they cancel you? | ||
Because I called Joy Behar a bitch. | ||
That's fair, though. | ||
I mean, truth is a defense. | ||
Man, when you're in this world, when you're a public figure or whatever, it's okay to, like, call somebody out and, you know, get a little dirty. | ||
Joy Behar, I don't think there's a single person of $350 million in this country who would testify under oath that Joy Behar is not a bitch. | ||
No, I think she actually said I am a bitch. | ||
Of course she is. | ||
She would say that. | ||
That's exactly right. | ||
unidentified
|
But you think if you're going to interview one of the most legendary rock stars that ever lived, you'd get some information on him. | |
But also why should Joy Behar be exempt from criticism? | ||
Like, she can call you a racist, but you can't point out the obvious truth that she's a bitch. | ||
unidentified
|
Or you get canceled. | |
No, I can. | ||
I'm awesome at it. | ||
Well, I know you are. | ||
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
That's what I did. | ||
So she called you a racist? | ||
I don't know what she called me. | ||
She said something about me going to the White House with Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent. | ||
They're like, this was a disgrace or some shit, whatever she said. | ||
And I'm just like, poor Steve Doocy. | ||
He's like, I got my granddaughter in my arms. | ||
I'm like, I don't mean to curse on your show or whatever. | ||
I'm like, but... | ||
She's a bitch. | ||
And then, you know, Steve's all paranoid. | ||
He's like, and I love Steve. | ||
He's my neighbor in Florida. | ||
Yeah, I know he is. | ||
And they're like, we come back from commercial. | ||
He's like, you apologize for the language, don't you? | ||
I'm like, I do apologize for that language, not for the sentiment. | ||
Well, exactly. | ||
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
But also, if you can't point out the obvious, just right in your face truth that Joy Behar is a bitch. | ||
Then you're not a free man. | ||
You're a slave at that point. | ||
People love her, whatever. | ||
Yeah, it's really fine. | ||
If they call me out too, it's fine. | ||
Like I said before in our earlier interview, I'm like, what happened to Sticks and Stones? | ||
I agree. | ||
Like, Jesus. | ||
Everybody's such a fucking pussy. | ||
Do you get asked to do interviews anymore? | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's a good sign. | ||
Not by... | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, I have turned out... | |
Look, this is a podcast, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
I have turned out every podcast for the last three years. | |
Really? | ||
unidentified
|
I told everybody I didn't do it. | |
But since I love you so much and this is with my best friend, I'm honored. | ||
I'm going to do it. | ||
But let me tell you something. | ||
All you people out there, don't be asking me for podcasts because I ain't doing any more of them unless it's with you again. | ||
It's a tough one because everyone's got a fucking podcast. | ||
Everyone's got a podcast. | ||
I agree with that. | ||
unidentified
|
And God bless you. | |
I didn't even know I had a podcast until today. | ||
But I'm honored to have one. | ||
I wouldn't call this a podcast. | ||
unidentified
|
Is it a podcast or no? | |
I have the faintest idea. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, it's not a podcast. | |
Sorry, but I'm not doing podcasts anymore. | ||
Hey, Justin, is this a podcast? | ||
unidentified
|
It's a videocast? | |
It's a videocast. | ||
This is a John and Bobcast. | ||
unidentified
|
Hanging out with John, Bob, and Tucker. | |
Exactly. | ||
We should do our own show. | ||
Hell, we could make a lot of money. | ||
I love that. | ||
Can we sponsor it with Good Boy? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, we're in. | |
Joe Bonanno, shit, you know, he's in. | ||
Cigars, you know, my John Day cigars. | ||
He's got sponsors. | ||
We can get this done. | ||
And those are really made by the Bonannos? | ||
unidentified
|
Dominican, yeah. | |
I have no sponsors. | ||
I won't get in bed with corporate entities because that's how you get canceled. | ||
unidentified
|
No, but here, my deal is... | |
You've got to be in bed with a corporate entity for people to get pissed at them and they can cancel you. | ||
I'm like, yeah, I don't have any. | ||
You have no sponsors? | ||
No, not personally. | ||
unidentified
|
You don't need any. | |
I've had some great ones. | ||
I could never get one. | ||
I've had some great ones. | ||
unidentified
|
These are business deals for me. | |
I mean, this cigar, how good is that cigar? | ||
He even likes my cigar. | ||
It's incredible. | ||
unidentified
|
To get him to like a cigar or a drink that I have is pretty, because he's a picky son of a bitch. | |
I like free shit. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I always give you free shit. | |
You like free shit? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, yeah. | |
Of course he is. | ||
Why are you so rich? | ||
You're the tightest best friend I've ever known. | ||
Hey, let's go out to dinner. | ||
Okay, kid, I'll go out to dinner with you. | ||
Hey, you get the bill. | ||
No bullshit. | ||
I always pay the bill. | ||
unidentified
|
We always pay. | |
We're always back and forth. | ||
We always pay for everyone. | ||
I'll give you that. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we do. | |
It's because we love people. | ||
Do you eat at your house? | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's one of my favorite things to do is have people for dinner. | ||
I mean, you could have big dinners at that house. | ||
No. | ||
Eight. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Dining rooms. | ||
That's one of my... | ||
Dining rooms upstairs. | ||
The floor spins. | ||
Overlooks the city and it seats eight, so six guests. | ||
Because you can actually spend time with people, enjoy their conversation. | ||
I agree with that. | ||
You know, having a huge dinner is like, it's tough, you know, to converse with everybody and, you know, just catch up on things. | ||
I don't like to catch up with people like this. | ||
I agree with you. | ||
I'm like, save it. | ||
No, I don't need your Facebook, you know, your FaceTweet status and like everything you did like in the last, whatever, like, when I see you, we'll talk about everything. | ||
Wouldn't that be great? | ||
Yes, I love that. | ||
unidentified
|
I love memories that don't show up. | |
Yeah. | ||
Do you actually have to remember? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I like turtles. | ||
You like what? | ||
That's an old fucking, some internet shit somebody sent me years ago. | ||
Some kid saying he likes turtles. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
unidentified
|
No, but a memory's in your brain. | |
Now it's on the phone. | ||
Social media, it's everything. | ||
It's not really a memory. | ||
Well, it also distorts it completely. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, so I look at you like you're bucking the system. | ||
I love it. | ||
You know, the thing with Fox went down. | ||
They obviously sacrificed you as a fucking lamb. | ||
And then you're like, you pop up doing this shit. | ||
I'm like, I can get down with that. | ||
unidentified
|
I like that. | |
Because you still have a voice. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You're still getting fucking paid. | ||
I'm like, I get down with that. | ||
unidentified

He's like a football coach. | |
He kind of gets fired, but he still gets paid. | ||
Where in the hell? | ||
I mean, that's unbelievable. | ||
Nick Saban of Cable News. | ||
No, I mean, I did it for too long. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, no disrespect to Jimbo Fisher. | |
I love him to death. | ||
A&M coach. | ||
76 million? | ||
He's getting paid and he got fired? | ||
I mean... | ||
That's a lot. | ||
That's a lot of money. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a lot. | |
That's a lot of corporate heads, too. | ||
Like, you know, they fuck up and do shit. | ||
They still get their money. | ||
Meanwhile, working class people are like, um... | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Hey, we didn't have fucking stock options and shit and all this stuff. | ||
Like, I don't know. | ||
And there's nothing people can do. | ||
I could sit here and bitch about it. | ||
No, I agree, but it's, yeah. | ||
I think it's gotten too expensive for people to live here, I've noticed. | ||
I don't go to the grocery store, ever. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, that's why all the illegal immigrants... | |
But I hear about it. | ||
That's why the illegal immigrants from Chicago and New York... | ||
I think I'm going to go back home. | ||
Yeah, Salvador's gotten really nice. | ||
Have you been there? | ||
unidentified
|
Where? | |
El Salvador. | ||
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
No. | ||
El Salvador is one of the worst countries in the world. | ||
Like the most dangerous country in the world. | ||
unidentified
|
Come in our country free. | |
It's tiny. | ||
It's crowded. | ||
Now El Salvador is like a great country. | ||
We want good Mexicans. | ||
They're awesome. | ||
unidentified
|
Fucking love them. | |
They work their ass off. | ||
They're Christians. | ||
They're fucking awesome. | ||
I just built a house, man. | ||
Fucking great. | ||
This, that, and the other. | ||
We need to kind of see everybody that's coming in at some level. | ||
It should be up to Americans how many people they want to let in their country. | ||
You don't want to live in a crowded country. | ||
That's the other thing. | ||
People don't. | ||
They think it's just like endless space, but actually, you can get too crowded. | ||
Well, it's not endless space for people to come in and implement the ideas that have taken their cities, their countries, made them bad. | ||
This is going on in Nashville. | ||
They're fucking up Austin, Texas right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, Austin's unbelievable. | |
You get all these California, Chicago, New York City people. | ||
Don't like this way of life. | ||
They want to get away from this stuff. | ||
And then they come in like, I got these bumper stickers made that said, don't turn Nashville into the shithole city you moved here from. | ||
unidentified
|
Austin's bad. | |
I mean, Austin, 6th Street was so good. | ||
Because they come with these things. | ||
6th Street was the coolest. | ||
unidentified
|
It was one of the greatest streets to go on, and now I'm scared to go on. | |
You can't. | ||
I mean, the Driscoll Hotel was one of the coolest hotels in the United States. | ||
Fucking New Orleans. | ||
I've got a daughter who lives in... | ||
In Austin and I said, I was visiting the other day, I was like, I'm gonna stay at the dress school. | ||
Oh, you can't go down there. | ||
It's like, it's dangerous. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, can we have a piss break? | |
Yeah, I gotta go too. | ||
Do you think, you said that it was bladder cancer, but could it be, these are related to pissing too, right? | ||
unidentified
|
It don't matter. | |
Those make you piss your brains out. | ||
unidentified
|
I could go through a day and not drink anything and still piss 50 times. | |
Is there a bathroom in here? | ||
I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it's a little curtain. | |
I'm going to go outside. | ||
Let's talk shit about John while he's gone. | ||
unidentified

What are y'all doing? | |
Oh. | ||
I tuned it down to G. You're going to be fucked up. | ||
It's not what you think it is. | ||

It's all bar chords in G. Oh, really? | |
Yeah. | ||
So, look. | ||
You know G, right? | ||
unidentified
|
I know G, but I don't know how to tune it. | |
Yeah, but I'm not a barcourt guy, man. | ||
Hey Anna, did you find my phone? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Why don't you tune it to just like a... | ||
Just original, like easy. | ||
For... | ||
For guys that don't know how to play like me. | ||
That amazes me how to do that. | ||
I agree. | ||
unidentified
|
My best friend Jocko. | |
I'm too drunk to tune it up. | ||
Which Jocko? | ||
unidentified
|
He's a singer, one of my best friends. | |
Anybody got any more of those things that rhyme with schmores, mate? | ||
unidentified
|
See, I have to relate to this. | |
Technology. | ||
This is awesome. | ||
Oh, gee, I'm gonna eat Christmas. | ||
That top string's down to your tune-up, do you think so? | ||
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
Oh, they're all that way, huh? | ||
No, only four of the strings. | ||
unidentified
|
The D was good. | |
The D was good. | ||
G's good. | ||
That's gotta go up to B. | ||
unidentified

Oh, E. | |
Up. | ||
E, up. *click* Technology. | ||
That's pretty cool. | ||

Guitar looks like a ukulele in your hand. | |

Tucker Carlson, I want to thank you for a great day. | |
My friend Kid Rock made it this way. | ||
Yeah, baby! | ||
And I've admired y'all for so long since. | ||
Can't wait to see y'all and me again. | ||
Fuck the liberals. | ||
Fuck communism. | ||
I say this, doll. | ||
Trump at 24, that's the way it needs to go. | ||
Get him, Johnny! | ||
Where's this country gone? | ||
I miss it so much. | ||
Got to get the big boy man to help us out. | ||
Daddy Trump can do this. | ||
I've done it before. | ||
Pit rock for vice president. | ||
I control the border. | ||
It's called Crocodiles. | ||
The most poisonous snakes in the rhinos. | ||
Head south. | ||
To Mexico. | ||
Try crossing my border again, you son of a bitches. | ||
Outstanding! | ||
I'd go to your show. | ||
unidentified
|
I'd be standing in the front row, swooning. | |
Don't you think? | ||
I told Daddy Trump, I'll take care of the border. | ||
Don't need no border patrol. | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
South Africa, the meanest crocodiles, about 100,000 of them. | |
All the most poisonous snakes? | ||
The rhinos? | ||
Put them in that river. | ||
See who crosses that border. | ||
I agree with that. | ||
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
That's not hard. | ||

It's not hard. | |
It's common sense. | ||
Right? | ||
Sounds like a little canchy sheet, baby. | ||
I just want to hear you talk shit over this. | ||

Oh yeah. | |
Is that one of your favorite songs? | ||

Bobby, is that one of your favorites? | |
Same. | ||
There you go. | ||
Throw the TV out the motel window. | ||
That's right. | ||
Motel. | ||

Do you remember those? | ||
Yeah, they had to say color TV. Yeah, color TV. It had a neon say color TV. Yeah. | ||
It was a great country. | ||
I miss it too. | ||

God, I miss America. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Miss America. | ||
I'm just working on this song with John Eddy. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah? | |
There we go. | ||
God, I miss America. | ||
It's been a minute since you've been gone. | ||
God bless Miss America. | ||
You've been gone for too damn long. | ||
Damn, that's sad. | ||
Gentlemen, let's go have dinner. | ||
Thank you. | ||
John's buying. | ||
He just said. | ||
No reading in my house. |
