My eyes may never forgive me for what I just subjected them to. For insane reasons that can be known only to them, Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Kid Rock have collaborated to produce a shirtless workout video.
The video showcases Kennedy (72) and Kid Rock (55) topless, sweaty, and thrusting as they run through what they bill as a “Rock Out Work Out”. Maybe swap out the first “R” for a “C” and you’d be a little more accurate to the end result.
For the brave amongst you, please see below. A reminder, once you put something in your brain, there’s no getting it out again:
I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD. pic.twitter.com/PkK8IfkPU4

The homoerotic video shows the two men posing topless with their hands on their hips, before shifting to a shot of Kid Rock playfully swatting Kennedy’s butt with a towel. From then it’s a kaleidoscope of grimaces as they help each other work out, with the highlight (lowlight) the pair hanging out in a sauna together as one uses a spin machine and the other does push-ups.
At one point, a shirtless Kennedy wearing jeans slides into an ice bath under a sign that says “Drama Queen”. Dude, we get it!
Pride isn’t until June!
It is unclear what the thinking behind this video is, but frankly, they couldn’t have made anything gayer if they tried. This is a level of homoeroticism that’d make Tom of Finland blush and cause the Spartans to mutter “this may be going a little too far…”.
It’s safe to say the general reaction is akin to being unable to look away from a car crash:
I watched Heated Rivalry last month, and that RFK/Kid Rock workout video was still the gayest thing I’ve seen all year.

Looks like a crossover between a retirement home ad and gay porn.

How come RFK Jr and Kid Rock didn’t invite Trump to be in their workout video? pic.twitter.com/BzMAtEbuZ0

Sadly, this video exists and now will exist forever in all of our brains. I am certain that, decades from now, I’ll be lying on my deathbed surrounded by family and suddenly shudder as, for the billionth time, the neuron that contains the image of a sweaty RFK Jr and Kid Rock hanging out in a sauna together plays through it.
