Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has teamed up with Kid Rock in a bizarre video campaign promoting the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services’ Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, initiative.

The 72-year-old Health Secretary shared the video, titled Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock’s Rock Out Work Out, on X with the caption, “I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD.”

The video, which sparked suspicions of AI, shows RFK Jr. and the 55-year-old controversial Detroit rocker working out shirtless and drinking whole milk while soaking in a hot tub to his song Bawitdaba.

    All I could picture reading that last paragraph was Mac and Charlie making a fight milk commercial.

      Richard Simmons.

      Y’know, I grew up making fun of him, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that homophobia isn’t funny, and the more I read about him, the more I realize he was generally a pretty sweet and caring dude trying to help people. All the hate he got was really unjustified. Our society sucks sometimes.

        Same. I started to like him when he appeared on David Letterman a lot. He seemed genuine and funny. I learned more about him some years ago when he dropped out of public life. People were worried and thought he was being held hostage or died. It was very weird.

        Turns out he was doing great and died in 2024, possibly while dressed as Barbara Striesand*. We should all be so lucky.

        *(Wikipedia says he did a social media post with a photo dressed as Barbara Striesand and was found dead minutes later.)

        Didn’t Richard answer all his fan mail in an effort to remain helpful to his fans? Maybe not ALL the mail but he spent a significant amount of time answering those letters from his fans.
