It was definitely a statement.
Recently, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at finally doing something about price gouging when it comes to buying tickets for concerts and sporting events. And we all know what a disaster the ticket-buying process is these days… you log on to Ticketmaster and see a ticket for $50, and by the time you’re ready to check out the price has nearly doubled from all the fees they tack on. And that’s not to mention all the bots that buy up tickets and immediately list them for resale for two or three times their face value, keeping them from getting in the hands of actual fans.
The executive order directs the Federal Trade Commission to “take enforcement action to prevent unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive conduct in the secondary ticketing market,” and also seeks to ensure that scalpers are complying with all laws and go after those who aren’t.
Obviously this isn’t going to fix the problem overnight. But during the signing ceremony, Trump was joined by Kid Rock who applauded the executive action as a good first step:
“Ultimately I think this is a great first step. I would love down the road if there would be some legislation where we could actually put a cap on the resale of tickets…
I want the fans to have fair ticket prices, to be able to go enjoy more shows. I’d like to take my ticket price lower, but if I set my ticket prices low, these bots immediately eat them up and they resell for hundreds of dollars more and I’m just making these bad actors rich.”
Of course, much of the attention that day went to the flashy suit he was wearing, which was really a sight… as someone who appreciates wild fashion myself, I enjoyed it and thought it was a fun moment:

But Theo Von absolutely let Kid Rock have it on an episode of This Past Weekend, where he was joined by fellow comedian Mark Normand, where they discussed the outfit and poked fun at how outlandish it was… it’s honestly the funniest thing I’ve watched this week, so here’s just a taste of what they came up with on the fly:
-“Kid Rock was dressed like a firecracker salesman.”
– “He was dressed like a fireman at a glory hole.”
-“He looks like he’s selling used cars in Bristol, Tennessee.”
-“He looks like he could sign The Constitution with his c**k.”
– “He’s a gaytriot.”
-“If this photo alone doesn’t get the Tiger King out of prison, what are we even doing?”
– You think Zelenskyy see that and is like ‘sh*t I really didn’t dress up.'”
Nobody is better at rapid fire burns than these two, and of course, it’s all in good fun. Theo and Bob are actually pretty good friends.
