Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, I'll write Bud Light. But I saw that their Super Bowl commercial was an attempt, did you see this, to undo. To actually become friends with them.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And people have to have the capacity to not see it the same way and then go on to the next subject. Bingo. Not obsessed. And this is, see, I think you don't have to live with this as much as I do. I mean, that is probably my biggest beef with the left. And you know, I do not couch my criticisms of them.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It was that, but I did think she was adorable, I have to say.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
There was something so innocent about her, so innocent and joyous. Him? Which you've now killed. Yes, she was just so happy to be there. And, like, this kid who, like, probably a year ago was studying for – or not even studying for some test or something in high school. And now here she is, like, you know, I'm that voice of Bud Light. I get to be on TV, and you're filming me and doing my hair.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And it's just, like, so – like, how – I don't know why you let yourself get agitated about that, but I also get it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Because it's just spur of the fucking moment. I didn't think it through.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I'm like, put your camera on video. I went, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It is amazing how big that was, though. I mean, it was everywhere. Because it had everything. You know, it had a star. It had a point of view. It had guns. It had my MAGA hat on. Well, of course.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah. I mean, I think they knew that first picture that came out where you were sucking his dick. Shit. What is it like to be with him? You said today that he's funny and he's... I can imagine that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Everybody tells that to me. Everybody says you'd like him and he'd like you. I hope he does.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Let's say it. If he would only get off the not conceding elections thing, we could be a lot closer. I mean, Bill, come on. That was, I don't know what fucking happened.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Oh, I know what happened. Joe Biden won an election. That's what happened.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Oh, Bob, you'll lose me when you go there because it's been adjudicated. It's like give up on that one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Irrelevant to this point and this discussion. But, sweetheart, it's actually a better story this way because it's a trilogy. He wins the election. Then there has to be an act two. where the hero is wandering in the wilderness before you have act three. So it's better that he lost. Joe Biden did him a favor. He's more legendary because he came back.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I may not convince you of it, but it is eminently convincible. To anyone who wants to, like, go through just really nonpartisan court rulings. Republican. Republicans saying it. Lots of them. It's just, he lost an election. Like Cheney? You know, whenever he won. Was everyone a hit record? Was everyone a hit record? No. But... You know, does every one of my jokes land? No. You lose a few.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And that's why I have such a hard time out here because there's such purists out here and they will not countenance any diversion from the one true opinion as they see it. So I am insufficiently liberal for them. I had somebody who was very woke here one day and I said, you know, we voted for the same person. The difference is you're why she lost because that's the kind of face
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And it's just a better story, and it just would be – it would make me breathe a lot easier because I'm not sure that this crowd is ever going to give – I don't know if we'll ever see a Democrat president again because I just don't think – They are of a mind that that can happen without it ruining the country. So they convince themselves they have to do it. They don't want to do it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
They just have to do it because otherwise a Democrat... Monkey see, monkey do, too, you know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah. The reason why the Democrats have a hard time prosecuting this case and making Americans care as much as they should have is because there is a version, a slighter, less damaging, less... threatening to the Constitution version of all of it that the Democrats do. Everything is a slippery slope. Trump's a king. Yeah, they all try to act like kings to a degree.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
These people just take it to a different degree. And also, the Democrats do draw the line at when they lose an election, they just quit. They quit quick. I mean, Kamala Harris was in like, you know, the Bahamas like Thursday. I mean, they just like, OK, we lost. Get out of town. We'll try again next year. No big deal. Will you pardon your son? No.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, that's – again, you have not an untrue point. That was a horrible hypocrisy. Again, it doesn't have anything to do with he doesn't concede elections.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I was trying to get him to leave a long time before people were, most people were, some people were. But I can't argue that point. It just always comes down to a matter of degree and what you think is the bigger, you know,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah. Isn't it amazing, though, that they're almost the same age, and yet Biden is like... kind of like... Well, that's genetics. Skeletor. Well, or how we treat ourselves. Absolutely. Whereas Trump, almost the same age, and I used to say it in my act, it was like he puts on the wig and the face paint and he's like Kiss in 1976. It's like he hasn't changed a day. Nothing is different.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He's got a brand, which was kind of brilliant. The dude's got more energy. Yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But he does not present as old. You know what I mean?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
that a lot of Americans see on that sort of authoritarianism of the left, which I know is what animates you a lot. And it's not that it's not there.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I want him in my corner. I wish I was in that corner. I was in a corner with a guy who could fight like him. I agree. There's nobody better. But I'd like getting what he wants. Did you repeat that? Nobody better at getting what he wants.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Nobody better at getting what he wants. I have issues with the means, which is crucial to that point. You can't get what you want just by any means. Like, we want Greenland. We're just going to take it. No, it doesn't work that way.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
All right, so I'm going to ask you about that in a minute, but wait. So I just want to picture this. It's 5.30. Trump calls you. You answer. He asks you what you're wearing. No, okay. The ever-comedian Bill.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I know you do. And so do I. I mean, so many of your songs are funny. You know, fucking 50 is very funny. Certainly, Low Life is a scream. Oh, there's a billion fucking, yeah, fucking 40. The one I talked to you about last time, like the Nashville.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That's very funny about. The Metros and the, what do you call them? We're all drinking Michelob Ultras. Yes. And you wish they'd start some shit with you. You'd knock out their whitened teeth.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I put my thing on and I rewrite words and shit like this. No, I mean, to me, your almost unique genius is... Almost unique genius. Well, other people have done it, is what I'm saying. You don't even know what I'm going to say, but now I'm going to tell you. The way you can evoke the feeling... of really that time in your life that is the most sort of embossed in your brain.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Adolescence, you're 17, your first love. I remember waiting at the school bus. Jenny Clayton was my first crush. You know, you have so many songs that evoke that feeling, drinking from the same cup.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Is that how you do it? Absolutely. You know, I work the same way. Absolutely.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I never purposely write. I just remember things I say when I'm high. That would be the title of your next special, Things I Say When I'm High. Well, that could be the title of every show and every special.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No. Well, then are you admitting that it's gone too far with where we are now?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
This is a podcast, all right. But like Glenn Frey said, he was in this car with this guy driving on the freeway and he said, life in the fast lane. And Glenn was like, oh, thank you for making my next $12 million for me. No, of course, then you have to.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, I mean, that's what, speaking of the Eagles, what Don Henley said when Don Felder, I don't know if he sued them, but he definitely wanted to be the writer on Hotel California. Now, he did give Henley a tape with that sort of beginning kind of riff. And he said, yeah, it was a very intriguing idea for a song. It had no lyrics, no title. It had no chord changes.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You know, yes, a lot of these bricks have to go in.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Right. Well, you'll appreciate this story then. Maybe you heard it. Diane Warren, the great songwriter.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You do? Oh, yeah. Okay, well, she noticed that, this is like two years ago, that a Beyonce song had 24 writers on it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I think it's too early. Well, I mean, today they had to go back on... firing all the people who maintain the nuclear weapons.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
So she commented to somebody, how can you have 24 writers on a song? And then the other types, who you and I both don't have any use for, said it was racist. Everything's racist. Because she was questioning.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Of course you did. That's you. But I might submit that Listen, which is from Dreamgirls, which is, you don't know it. No. I think that's pretty mainstream-y, like this thing you're talking about. I think most people would know that. Listen.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, there's nothing all people know. I mean, no, there isn't. Everybody knows Don't Stop Believin'. I don't know about that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You know what I mean? I don't even know who did that. I know the song. Journey. Also a journey in a coliseum. With my nuts swinging.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That's from Don't Stop Believing? No, that's just this fucking weird rhyme I remembered from I don't know where that I've never used. But again, that evocation of that time in your life, the one about you're in the second row with your girl on your shoulders. Yeah. Like all that stuff.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And I know them well. One of my favorite songs, not just of you, but of anything, Cold Beer, which just tells you, you can separate the art from the artist.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But look, this is such a good illustration of the way you can separate the art and the artist. Like, I hate beer, so I don't relate to that at all.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Good, okay. I saw a bullseye. Yeah, that was pretty good.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, absolutely. But cold beer, no. If it was called Lit Pot... I would relate, but I don't relate. So I don't relate to what you're singing about. The lyrics are political. I find the first line very funny because you're lamenting. No, it's like I'd turn on the radio if they were playing songs instead of like talking politics about how everything's gone wrong. Okay, I'm like, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Damn, Will, I'm impressed. Man, I'm telling you, I've been there for a long time. We didn't talk about this last time? We did, but I don't know. We're in Hollywood.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No. Oh, no. Please. Why would I do that? What would you think I would like? Anyway. Because you live in Hollywood. But I am a music lover. I know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I've had a lot of musicians here. Your girl Cheryl Crow was here. You know, I mean, not just the big one you did with her, but Collide. That's a great. Thank you. Duet record. Bob Seger played piano on that. But cold beer, okay, I don't agree with the beer part.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Wait, first of all, yeah, you say, I find it ironic that you were lamenting that the radio, people talking politics. Yeah, Bob, we only get people to shut the fuck up about politics, huh? But then you doubt global warming, and it's okay, because I don't give a shit. You're even throwing the beer cans into the fire, which seems unnecessarily anti-environmental.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It is a reasonable thought. It is a reasonable thought. And by the way, to back it up, What has come out of some of this is something that Democrats also have been complaining about for years, that when you say they must have updated, no, a lot of times they haven't. Oh, shit. Like, I can't, was it the FBI?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I mean, why throw the can into the fire? Because it's fun to do bad things. Okay, there you go. Okay, and that is a venal sin I can forgive. But it just shows you can like the art, and I don't have to agree with it. I don't give a shit. You think I live my life by song lyrics? No. You know? I mean, there's lots of lyrics I listen to.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I mean, I love Jumpin' Jack Flash, but I don't drive a spike through my head or whatever he's saying in there. I never know what he's saying. I used to cover it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Because Mick Jagger does not enunciate or he sings in his scouse Cockney accent.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I don't, I don't, I mean, I've listened to those songs and of course I could look up the lyrics in two seconds, but I'm too lazy, but. Like, some of the songs I've been listening to for, you know, 50 years. And I still don't know. Another Honky Tonk Woman. I don't know. I don't know what's this.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That line I remember. Tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I was like. But the song is great. So who gives a shit?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I mean, you're such a good singer. It's baffling to me why you, like, it was all... When you were first on the scene, I felt like you were just a straight-up old rapper. I didn't even know you could sing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You were doing it for 10 to 15 years before you were famous? Yeah, when I was like 14.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, somebody was using, no, that's not an exaggeration. Somebody was still using something that was, and you'd think.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And also, people go through phases in their life. If you're an artist, it's going to be reflected in your art. So what you were interested in at 14, yeah. You know, I don't like Love Me Do by the Beatles. Because they were 21.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Oh, I'm sure that is. I mean. Look, every generation from the beginning of time, I think, has an impulse to, like, the prime directive is to piss off those assholes who brought you into the world and gave you everything. Exactly. Fuck them. Whatever they do, I'm going to do the opposite. If they drink coffee hot, I will drink it cold. If they smoke cigarettes, I'll smoke a vape.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
If they think that people are just boys and girls, I'll show them. There's a lot of that going on. But you know, I mean, Trump says there's only two sexes. You know that it's more complicated than that, right?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But it still exists. There are people. Very small percentage.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Look, I agree with that. And they hate me for saying that. But absolutely some of it is social contagion. I mean, when I did a— Everything's social contagion. Well, but certainly at that age, you're so susceptible to any fucking suggestion. I compared it to entrapment in the sense that when you get caught for entrapment, It means that you wouldn't have thought of committing this crime.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
The FBI had to come in and say, hey, wouldn't it be great if we blew up the Sears Tower? I mean, those assholes, am I right? I think I can get you a lot of explosives. And if you say that to people who have nothing going on, like want to blow some shit up, they might go, hey, that's a pretty good idea. OK, that's entrapment.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It's a little of the same if you're constantly talking to kids about the idea that you might not be in the right body, which is true. You might not, but to have been doing... You didn't get a choice, motherfucker.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yes, but there are people whose mind is so oriented the other way that it does make sense for them, I think. But not a child to decide this. Thank you. I mean, children, I mean, the idea that I would have had to deal with that idea even, I could barely deal with what I was dealing with, which was at first, I want girls so badly and I'm too shy. How is this going to fit in there?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No, I mean, I've been on that page. I mean, I... Every time I... criticize them for the way they're doing it, I'm careful to make the point it needs to be done. I said at the end of last year, this country needs a colonic. I just wouldn't choose them to do it. And I think I'm right about that because their idea of a colonic is to take a fucking jackhammer and stick it up your ass.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Oh, that was not what I was worried about. It was just, I want girls and I'm too shy to talk to them. That's a terrible prison to be in. I'm still like that. That's ridiculous. What the fuck are you talking about? You're shy with girls?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You don't have to. You're famous. That's probably why you. That's probably the fucking whole reason why. Everybody. All of it. It solves.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You can't wear it out. You know what the greatest opening line to a girl is? Thank you very much. You know? Because she said to you, hi, Kid Rock, I love you. And your line is? I love you, too. Thank you very much. Oh, no, I'd just jump right in. I love you, too. It sounds like you're single now. I am single. Oh, I didn't know that. Last time we talked, you were with somebody.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, I'm sorry that you're here on Valentine's Day. I'm sure you won't be alone for long. Oh. It's not tough for you. It's tough in general. It's not tough for a rich, famous rock star.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
There's a lot of that too. Yes. Just because a lot of people want you doesn't mean you find them attractive. That is true. And certainly beautiful women know that more than anybody. Many beautiful women are like, you know, alone here on Valentine's Day.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, I think Elon probably is, there's certainly a physically hot woman What's hot to you? What's hot in the mainstream? What's amazing to me is that there are so many different variations of gorgeous in the world. There's a lot. I mean, yes. Is it the majority? No. But, I mean, there's how many adult women in the world? Three billion? Even if it was like 10 million, that's a lot of hot chicks.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah. You know, who are like... Spread across the world? Well, I mean, we're talking about, you know, super gorgeous, like arrestingly beautiful. And then, like, just plain beautiful is pretty good, too. There's a lot of variations on... Why do you think we have so much trouble... being committed people. Because men, it is a constant siren call.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And unless you are tied to the mast, like Odysseus, it's hard to not answer that call. Especially for you. Comedians... Maybe when I was younger, it's not hard anymore. Yeah, of course. But because you're... I'm guessing your priorities have changed. Absolutely. I mean... You don't want to be blown on the tour bus. You're at Toys R Us. It's an arrogant joke. That's a good one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Right. Well, you can do both, you know. I'm sure you'll, you know. We'll go over to Houlihan's later. It's Valentine's Day. We'll get the losers. What's Houlihan's? The strip club? No, I just made it up. Some dive Irish bar I'm picturing with. Yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, exactly. Now, I will not say who this is, but a friend of mine who was like close, not quite my age, but in that era, and we were talking somewhat recently, and he's single. He was married, and he said, you would not believe it. I'm getting a lot of iconic pussy here. Like, girls would come up to me and say, you're iconic. I thought, wow. Wow. That is, the universe just keeps giving.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Iconic pussy. And I think you could get a lot of iconic pussy. You're iconic. Now, you've got to find a girl who knows that word. Not all of them. I'm trying to figure out what it means. Iconic? You know what it means. But I would guess that Elon needs a woman who's very smart, wouldn't you think? I mean, he's kind of a brainiac and all that, don't you think? I don't think so.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I'm not chasing pussy at all, Bob. I'm looking for a meaningful relationship. You disgust me. You're lucky I don't hit you over the head. Clearly, you're looking for a beautiful woman. No, but I don't think Elon is like us at all. I think Elon Musk needs a woman who... I read once in an interview he did in some magazine, and he said, I can't really be happy or good at my work unless I'm in love.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And at the time, he was with Amber Heard. That may slightly load the issue of this point I'm making. But, yeah, he was. He was with Amber Heard. I forgot that. Did you know that? I knew he banged her or something.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No, I mean, Clinton, you remember the 90s. I know you do. Vaguely. Because I remember when the wreckage, that's when you first blew up. Clinton. Clinton. did very much at least rhetorically and also gave people the same thing Musk did except back then it wasn't eight months pay it was $25,000 if you'll fucking I never had a huge problem with Clinton like no I'm just saying that this is not new.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Correct. For standing up and fighting because you know what?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You're like, this is fucked up. I wouldn't say it was a shakedown. What I would say is this. Women have an idea a lot, I think, that I would call romantic justice. Now, there's a term we have, poetic justice. Poetic justice. I believe in romantic justice to a T. You don't know how I'm defining it. Yeah, I do.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I know exactly what you're talking about. Go ahead, tell me.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, that's maybe part of it. No, my idea of romantic justice is- I didn't come close? No. Well, I'll tell you what it is. Poetic justice is a term we use for when justice is served, but not exactly for what the crime was. Like O.J. Simpson, okay, he didn't go to jail for killing his ex-wife. He went to jail for some other crime, and people said, well, that's poetic justice.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Women have kind of the same idea about if a guy hurts me and legitimately does, I don't mean necessarily like beat you or something, although we don't know what exactly happened, but I don't think that happened. But maybe it did. We don't know. But if he hurts you in any way, even if it's just by abandoning you, leaving you, promising you and then not coming through, whatever it was,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yes, okay. We are in agreeance over 1,000%. Well, we're in agreement. There is no such word as agreeance, and that was found out by Fred Durst when you were at the Grammys. I didn't go to no college, Bill.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
There are people who still call me. Jerry Seinfeld still calls me Billy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It was just, he's the only, like, that's the only one I can think of who does it. My sister, sometimes. Wayne Gretzky calls me Robert. So your brother is Bill. Billy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Billy and Bob. Together you make one full redneck. Mm-hmm. Okay. And then a sister, you said? Two sisters. Two sisters. So four of you. Four of us. So you were, I didn't know you were Catholic. I was raised Catholic.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I always thought you were Jewish in the early days. Yeah, because you're a racist pig, but no. I'm not a pig. Okay. Okay, good. But, like, what did you think of Catholic, being brought up a Catholic? Fucking boring.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Elvis' gospel album? Yes. He made more than one. One main one, How Great Thou Art. I guarantee I got one of the songs on here from it. Yeah. I don't see. How Great Thou Art. But doesn't it kind of limit you lyrically? Because it's always kind of about... I just wrote a song called Halfway to Jesus.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And Al Gore was put in head of this department of, it was basically Doge. It was Al Gore's Doge. It was like, yes, government is wasteful and fraudulent and inefficient, and we have to do something about it. What'd they do? That's what I'm saying. No, I get it. So that's why this is politically feasible to people. That's why at least they're giving it a chance.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
What would Jesus have against hanging out with bitches? I don't understand why that's a contradiction. It's not. Oh, but you said he's on your shoulder. No, I'm talking about the devil. The devil in Jesus.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, we're not going to be hanging out with underage girls, and we're not going to be doing anything untoward with them. We're gentlemen, right? Absolutely.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I don't want to hurt folks. I disagree. Do you think if you explain it up front, everything's fine? Absolutely. Honesty solves.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
First of all, I'm 70. There's no future in me as like a husband and father. I come pre-advertised. Fuck. I'm lucky if we make it to the next Valentine's Day. Did you feel that way when you were 50? No, but I'm not. Oh, right. You are. Right.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, you're right. That's different for you because you are still, you still could be made into what I could not possibly be made into. I mean, I've said to girls literally word for word, if I got you pregnant tomorrow, I'd be 82 when the kid comes.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
They're saying, yeah, forever they've been saying that they're going to do this. And now some motherfuckers are in there who don't give a shit about who likes them or how they look, which is why people like them. I can relate. I can too. It's the great irony. I had a billboard up just last week for the new season, and the catchphrase is, he's not in it for the likes. That's good.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
My concierge doctor in Nashville. And she hooked me up. But you said you talked to some guys who already.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
They don't mean in one day, right? I'm joking with the doctor, Bill. Come on.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
This is why I'm not a comedian. I think it would be funny if you feel the person washing your balls and you look down and it's Dylan Mulvaney. Oh, my God.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
We're like... I mean, if you did want to do a commercial that would, like, break the Internet, that would be it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
We didn't have the Internet, but, man, I can not forget... Man, I never will forget. The day the moonlight shined upon your hair. That's, again, you're always bringing me back to when I had my first love when I was 16. And, you know, the people say you never forget your first love. It's so true. And you also never forget when you get dumped by her. Because nothing ever hurts as much because it
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
the first one and you didn't see it coming and you know so i'll never forget my first love who was that jenny clayton by the school bus my son's mother right and what happened to that one you were just too young yes i mean a million factors whatever we're friends now you know after a lot of
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, it is good, because the irony... The likes and the clicks and views. Yeah, the irony that... You know, people like you when you don't care if they like you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I do already. And I've given him, like, there are moments when I see why people love him so much. And I even like him a lot because... Do you feel like you ever have to double down on...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Because of this, that, and the other? No, no. No, sir. That, no. I say exactly what I really think always.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I still love the song, even if I don't love the lyrics. But the lyrics are always clever. Even if I don't agree with them, I get it. And I can appreciate the artistry. And again, I don't live my life by song lyrics. You know, I don't listen to Daydream Believer and say, oh, I could fly beneath the wings of a bluebird as she sings. Yeah, that's right. The six o'clock alarm.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, that's the best thing you can do is, you know, hit that chord in people. And, you know, that's why music is, will always be. There'd be nothing on earth without music. Think about it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
There would definitely be things on earth without music, but they wouldn't. Believe me. If they took away my music, but it's still not ahead of, like, food.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Actually, Kid and Play wrote that song. Kid from Kid and Play. Green Day redid it. But, yeah, it's a great song.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I should get you two guys together, Kid and Kid Rock. I mean, he's one of my best friends. Really? Forever.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I will arrange that. I still hang out when I see Pepper, you know. Will you tell me next time you're in L.A.? Yeah. I remember the last time.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You always kind of tease Alabama a little bit. Bad timing because after 42 years, I just got off the road. I'm not doing stand-up on the road. Oh, I bet you got a big old jet. I used to travel by that. I know you came in on yours. You know what's the difference between mine and your jet?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
The only thing I have about it is that it is so indistinct. It's like, and I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but Moliere once said, to honor all men is to honor none. And I feel like to give the finger to just anybody is to sort of dilute what the finger is for. It's like, who are you mad at specifically? Shouldn't we do that with everything? What? Shouldn't we do that with everything?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I don't know. That's why I had the thing made of you as Chico there, because you're... I see my hat on the dog.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, that's you, because with the cigar, because you're Chico, barking at nothing in the driveway, just barking. Not at anything, but just... You might have a few people that disagree with that. No, I feel like Eve mellowed, actually. I barked pretty hard the last eight years in Donald Trump's presidency. So are we going to get a After the Gospel album?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
The last person who I can think of who put out a triple album was George Harrison. He put out a triple album? Yes. When the Beatles broke up, he fell. I love George Harrison. What? I love George Harrison. I love his son, Danny. Well, apparently you don't really love him that much since you don't even know about his music. I didn't say I knew all his music. His most famous album.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Didn't he write Here Comes the Sun? Yes. Yeah. Of course. Let me start there. That was with the Beatles. That's on Abbey Road. But he felt when he was with it. My Guitar Gently Weeps? Yes, that's on. That Prince absolutely fucking killed.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, that was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And Prince had never heard of that song. They sent it to him. And they said, George Harrison's being inducted. Would you do that? It wasn't like he had always lived with that song. He heard it, and he obviously responded to it. He did that amazing solo. I do remember that. It was incredible.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Really? But that's him. I certainly didn't know him well, but I do remember being around him a few times. Prince was a man of very few words. I also knew some women who may have known him. I knew a couple of them women, too. Yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I think we all know some women who knew Prince. But he was a man of few words, often none. He just... Normally, I would have the same reaction you had, like...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I remember when you were like that. I do feel you have mellowed a little.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Isn't that what you do in life? Of course. That's why I'm saying the kind of music you do at 14 is not going to be the kind of music you do at 34. Acts that are successful, at least have a career, learn to grow with their audience. You know, you're not, because your audience is also not the audience it was when you first were on the scene because they were probably interested in teenage things.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
To me, this is the big mistake that white people make about black people because usually the super lefties who are way more liberal in polling shows this than the average black person.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Into the sunset. Right. And you will pick up some of the younger generation, but it's impossible.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yes, they're all welcome and some will get it, but you can't pander to them because the thing they hate the most, that generation, they don't know anything like. What we used to learn at school, their mind is blank, but they're very savvy about media. So what they really hate is when they know you're like purposely marketing to them. That's a big turnoff.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
My fuck tank's on E. Does your kid help you, like, with stuff like that? Yes. Yeah, I bet he does.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I just want to picture this. It's 5.30. Trump calls you. He asks you what you're wearing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But your son sounds like he'd be perfect for the Elon Musk thing. Geek Squad.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I hear there's an agency where some people still have jobs, so somebody's got to get in there.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He's my son. But he's not a Nepo baby because he's not in show business.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, I was kind of the same way. which gave me tremendous anxiety when I was 22, 23, 24, my first years out of college, first starting out in stand-up, because you're nowhere, and you've got nothing, and no one is saying... And they're like, you're going to stick with this? I remember once at the Christmas party, I overheard my aunt say, did you hear? Billy's trying to be a comedian.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, he knew that. A lot of grandfathers wouldn't know who Vanilla Ice is. There was no avoiding him at that point. Yeah, I guess that's true. Well, Vanilla Ice was always successful, was he not?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You'd be like, yeah, like the Beastie Boys. They're going like, oh, like Vanilla Ice? You're like, no!
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Right. That's right. They were the big, yeah, they were huge. Yeah, they were fucking Led Zeppelin in my day and age. Yeah, I remember when it was controversial, just the thought of a white rapper. Like, that was a thing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Me and Chuck Deere are still friends to this day. Absolutely. And look, when we take over Greenland, you and I, we're going to go to Greenland. We're going to bring a couple of guitars. And we're going to write a triple album. That's just my guess. I'm down. It won't be long. Let me ask you about that. We mentioned this before. We should get Canada first. Greenland, Canada, Gaza, Panama.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
This new thing where we're like an empire again. We're just taking over places. You're cool and down with that? We're not taking over places.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He said his exact words, I will own Gaza. No, he said I will... Yeah, he did, but he says a lot of things. I'll give, okay.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
On the show last week, that's exactly what I did.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You understand what he means. There's a happy medium between you're right, being so pre-practiced that everything is off a teleprompter, and also being a living brain fart. He's not a living brain fart. Well, I mean, oh my God, I've been at lunch with eight women.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah, he got more than any Republican since Nixon, more than his first time. He still got creamed. Of course, the population grows, so there's more voters. Yeah, but we're talking about percentages.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You know what? That would be, in my view, the best outcome possible. Because, well, maybe not the best. Depends on who the Democrats run. But because the other outcome is Trump does run for a third term. Because he, they've already, I've seen this before. It's not going to happen. Bob, I've seen this before.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I mean, I've heard COVID mentioned in relation to the election. I've never heard this. Like, it seems to be coalescing into this theory where, like, well, COVID, election rigged.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
What does that have to do with a rigged election that you lost your business?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Hey, darling, I suffer. Stop with the darling. I got more shit than anybody for speaking out, again, as the liberal against the liberal point of view. I got a lot of shit. But you're not a liberal. So I took it from that side about my stance on COVID, which was much closer to your stance. I'm guessing. I did think they overreacted hugely.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And I want the right to say what vaccine I want to get without being forced to get one. And I will always be resentful that they made me get one. And if I didn't, I would not be able to continue my life. I wouldn't have been allowed near my studio or to go on the road. I was in Nashville during that period to do a show.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He did better. He still got creamed in the black vote. Let's not pretend he didn't. But, okay, but the thing I was going to say is that the, you know, The far lefty woke types, I don't think they really actually have any black friends probably.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, the fact, you know, I hope your dad's okay. He passed on, but thank you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It's not the first time I've heard stories about the humanity of Donald Trump. I know to a lot of people- He doesn't want to start any wars. They're going to hear that and they're going to be like, oh my God. But yes, I've never heard actually anything different than when you meet him personally, he's a different guy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Okay, but Bob, it is a little different because we're friends who don't have that kind of power. He has a lot of power about how things actually are done in this country.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Bring me to the White House with you. I'll ask him. I'll fly to Nashville. We'll go out the night before.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That's my jet. I'll fly to Nashville. We'll go out the night before and do something completely unpresidential. And then we'll fly to Washington the next day, and you'll bring me to meet President Trump. And that'll be in Guantanamo Bay. We got him.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Hey, I said on my show. First of all, no one knows what happens in these situations. I understand that a jury found him guilty of... In New York City. I understand. Let me finish. I understand that. Even for him... It sounds weird to me. I also knew her. She used to do, Eugene Carroll used to do politically incorrect. I found her to be very sane, nice, rational.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would just make this, summing that up. But I also think even for him, who has been piggish with women, there is no doubt about that. So have you. But to, wait, wait, wait, wait. I have not. Sure you have. Not really, but okay. I've been sexist. I have said sexist things.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Because I think if they actually knew black people, what they would understand is, see, they think in their social justice warrior head.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Okay. I have said sexist things. But everybody was sexist 30 years ago. Anyway, even for him, it just sounds too weird to me. I mean, like, this guy has women all over the place. Why would he, like, assault someone in a dressing room? So... We don't know. That's the thing. You don't know. I don't know. None of you people watching who are like, oh, I can't believe it. You don't know either.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Nobody fucking knows. But I did make the point, excuse me, I did make the point that Bill Clinton was credibly accused of very much the same thing by more than one woman, I think two, and we need a Broderick and the other one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, getting pussy is- I want them to run the country. I don't either, but sexual assault is different. What he is accused of, yeah, getting pussy, Bob, is we, I think, need to agree, and I think you do agree already, is different than what they're, than forcing yourself. You didn't force yourself on anybody in your life, I'm hoping. And I didn't either. This is forcing yourself on somebody.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
How do you think he'd do in Alabama in that jury trial, Bill? I'm just saying Bill Clinton was credibly accused of the same thing. And the liberals... kind of just whistled past that graveyard. You know, that's what I hate about America right now, the team thing. Like, if it's our guy, we don't see it. I hate it too. And I hate that, like, Kamala Harris's husband...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
was credibly accused by the same kind of Me Too standards that we had heard since 2017 in dozens of other cases by a woman who said he did this. It sounded like it absolutely could have happened. It wasn't like the worst thing ever. that happened, but it was certainly wrong. And, you know, another woman that she talked to at the time, that was always a big thing in the Me Too stories.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, she talked to somebody else and they corroborate the story and it was contemporaneous and okay, all that. And yet they acted like That never happened. They did it on Saturday Night Live, Kamala's husband, and he was just dorky, Doug. No. And I fucking hate that. Don't do that to me. Don't ignore it or try to get me to not see it because it's your teen. So-
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You can tell him I said that, and maybe he'll get the invitation.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
In their social justice warrior head, the most important thing they think to black people is that we're allies. I think black people – you know, I'm just extrapolating from the black people I talk to and I know – They're a lot more cynical about it. They're like, oh, please. We don't trust any white people fully. And who can blame them?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No, I mean, that's just my opinion, but I think that one did happen.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, you can't say it's admirable that a guy was doing it while his wife was home nursing their infant. But, you know. Lord knows that's the first guy to do that. Okay, but that doesn't make it right. None of this shit's right. Yeah, but that's kind of a broad brush.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I need a drink. I had that asshole kid rock on. Oh. Biggest ratings ever. It'll do well. You always do well. People like the truth, man. Yeah. I mean, not everybody sees what you're saying as the truth. Please. People like your own... Even if it's your own truth, people like real.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, a government is not just a business. There is a huge difference between business and government. In fact, they're often... What's different? Government's job for... One of government's jobs is to make sure business isn't corrupt. That's not one of the... That's not the forefront of having a business? To not be corrupt? No, businesses try to be corrupt so they can make more money.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But business is for profit. Government is not a for- Yes, it is.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Stop giving all our fucking hard-earned tax dollars away to everyone. Well, that I agree with. We waste too much money. We would agree on that. But government's first primary function, the reason why government's first in this world- became an entity is because people need protection. That's why government- Thank you. Yes. Police domestically, armies for foreign invaders.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That is government's first function. Well, we spend a trillion dollars on defense, so it's not like we're... We're going to go through the fucking military next.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
See, you can't fuck with a comedian. No, but I mean, Pete did have a drinking problem for a while. Am I right? I mean, you must have seen him in the hedges at some point. Never saw him have a drinking problem.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Wait, you have the sledgehammer that they broke into Bin Laden's bedroom with? Yes. Well, I hope you have it in the safe.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
So just because you're a liberal Democrat doesn't mean we think you— I've never heard anyone black or white trust white people.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
That should be on display. It should. Absolutely.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, Elvis used to give away Cadillacs, of course.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No, I'm just saying they don't have this great— A belief that the liberals are are so much better or really care more. And it's like, yeah, you know, look at look at cities like they're run by Democrats, but they don't seem to actually help with the problems that blacks are having in cities. You know, I mean, sometimes they do, and certainly they try. Their heart's in the right place.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He loves your dirty drawers. Well, I mean, he is emotionally bribable. You got to admit that. He's what? Emotionally bribable. If someone likes him or says they like him, whether it's you or Putin or Satan himself.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Right. No, and I... And I understand exactly what you're saying about sometimes you know when someone is shining you and you still don't care. It makes you feel good. Right. It's like at least you love me enough to lie. To lie.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Bad bullshit is fucking horrible. I mean, the two times I met him before he was president, a long time ago, he was exactly what other people also say about him when they meet him. Charming. Name me one president that wasn't charming. Oh, Nixon? Are you fucking kidding me?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Look up charm in the dictionary and then my picture. I mean, look, I'm the kind of – What are you, fucking Charlie Sheen? I'm the kind of charming, like, if you like it, you like it big time. And if you don't, then it's obnoxious.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But I'm not, the monologue, the only thing I'm reading is the very end of the show, the editorial, which a lot of it I wrote myself.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I do, and I could not be who or where I am without them. They're brilliant. But that last piece I do, which is much more personal and about one subject, and it goes on for eight or nine minutes, that's my baby. They write the monologue jokes. At the end of New Rules. They write that, too. I rewrite everything. But then you write the last bit. That's what I'm saying. That's my baby. Very good.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Thank you. They write the monologue. I just write bullet points there on the prompter to remember which joke I'm doing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Do you use a prompter when you're on stage for the song? No. You don't? You're one of the last.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But their programs very often seem to get in the way of themselves. What I was going to say is, like, no, I think what my friends, at least, what they care most about is who keeps it real, not who's your ally. Who keeps it real? That, to me, is the currency. So even if they don't agree with you, they respect that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Like, so even if I fuck it up, I can fucking. Right. You're a rapper. Right. Exactly. It's amazing. Cause I remember seeing Frank Sinatra. I took my mother to see him three years before he died and shortly before my mother died. And, uh, It was the 90s at Radio City Musical, and he had seven large screen prompters. How old was he? He was old. Well, there you go. He still...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Songs that he hadn't been singing his whole life, he still fucked up. Like he sang Mack the Knife, which is a standard, but he... Mack the Knife was written by Bobby Darin. Bobby Darin had the hit on it. Bobby Darin, that's shit.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
He was not. He was either dead. Didn't he die young? He died young at like 36, 35, 36. So he was either dead or not relevant.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I'll tell you that. But this is when I started to listen to music in 68 when I was 12. Okay. Bobby Darin was either dead or not relevant. He might have been, they might have played like, hey, let's do some golden oldies. And then that's when you heard by the sea. But he, Bobby Darin. Bobby Darin was the shit.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Next thing, you're going to tell me Jay and the Americans weren't cool. What? See, I know this whole era that you don't have any clue. You're Gen X. You're Gen X. All right, you're playing with your phone.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I could talk to you all night. You know, you're an interesting man. I got a piss. But I got a piss, too, so we should probably wrap it up.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
All right, the tour. Let's promote the tour. The three tours. There's the arena tour.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Well, it's not like other concerts aren't actively against hardworking people who love their country.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
You're not going to have a good time. I would love to see you. I said this to you on the show tonight, and I was serious. People may think I was joking. I would love to see you because I do love the music, but I'm not going to a Trump rally. And I've seen you with the flag and the thing and the Trump, and they'll fucking kill me. And I won't feel good.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I watch your show every week. I know, but that's different than being in the crowd.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But he makes some points. I can get through that. Maybe after you bring me to the White House, the audience will accept me being in the crowd. But I'm not becoming a Trumper. I'm telling you this right now. That's OK.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I will become a Trumper if he admits he lost the 2020 election. I'm sorry, I can't give him that. Why does it have to be stipulations? Because that's important. Because that's the key to the country, is the peaceful transference of power. It is non-negotiable, Bob.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Even though he contested it, he gave him the keys.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Yes. And you're going to take it. I'll go somewhere else.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
And I don't think you're a bad guy, and I don't think you're a racist, which liberals do. They think you're a terrible racist.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I mean, when we were in the 90s, it was the conservatives who had to stick up their ass. Now it's the other way around. Like your song, I was quoting it on the show tonight, Low Life. I quoted the great line about I got kids I've never seen and their mom is 17. But the other one is like... My friend John Eddie wrote that. I owe everybody money. I think racist jokes are funny.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Now, that's something that to a lot of people out here in Hollywood, that is over the line to even make that joke.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Now, I think this is much more of a generational thing than a racial thing. I think there is a generation, not ours, the one or two, maybe two after us, Gen Z especially, that came after us. where sort of everything is predicated on what triggers you, what you're offended by.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
I think that is one thing people would say about us, even people who don't like us, that we're not liars. That's why I like you. Yeah, that's why I like you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
No, you can't actually ever enunciate this to people because they would just kick you in the teeth. But the truth is that a certain of them are going to die. That's – I mean, certain number of kids. It's amazing how we've gotten that number down. It wasn't that long ago historically. I'm talking only like 100 or maybe – 200 years ago where... That seems like a long time to me. Of human history?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
It's a blink of an eye. It seems like a long time. It's a couple of generations, a few generations. But before that, you know how many children used to die like before the age of five? About half. Sure. You only had a 50-50 chance to get out of toddler world. You know, you got kicked by a horse or, you know, your parents had 12 kids and they forgot about you or whatever the fuck it was.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But, you know, kids have no idea how good they have it. But I also do wish.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Are you a boomer? No, you're not old enough to. You're Gen X. No, I'm 54.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Get him his tiger blood. Yeah. It's running low. Bring that shit on.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
But, you know, we have to... But at least it's the truth.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Kid Rock | Club Random
Um, I hope we have enough... Oh, what are you... Oh, you're on drinking Coors Light? Is that a joke? Did somebody do that? No, that's what was there. I'm drinking it. Oh, so you made up with them. Or actually, they made up with you. You're talking about Bud Light? Oh, it was Bud Light, yes.

What up, America? If you're ready for President Trump to take the stage, I need everybody to stand up! I need everybody to put a fist up in the air. Everybody get a fist up in the air.

You said your dad was on Meth? He was big on Meth. Probably had a couple Kid Rock CDs.

I'm no comedian, clearly. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and guess that it might not be a good idea to tell your crowd to shut the fuck up.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Maher's White House Visit, and Senseless High School Student Stabbing, with Michael Knowles and Ana Kasparian
Me, Bill, Dana White, and it could not have been better. Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant. The most shocking thing to me was, you know, Bill's obviously a very big liberal, been very hard on the president, but he's donated a lot of money to other politicians. You know, you've had Biden, Clinton, Obama, everybody. He had never been to the White House, and the president was so gracious.

He took us up to the private residence. We saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln bedroom, and I was like, you've never been here, Bill? And I was like, how about this?

The Case for Trump’s Tariffs
You don't know what you're getting charged for, but more importantly, these bots, you know, they come in to get all the good tickets to your favorite shows you want to go to, and then they're relisted immediately for sometimes a 400% or 500% markup. And the artists don't see any of that money.
