Kid Rock says he and President Donald Trump regularly talk during late-night phone calls.

Speaking with Australia's Sky News, the "Bawitdaba" rocker described his relationship with Trump as "f****** awesome" and said he knows the best time to reach the president.

"It's one of my late-night drinking tricks because I know when to get him," Rock said. "He's so gracious, he always picks up, or he'll call and check in just to shoot the s***."

Rock said their conversations are casual and not focused on government decisions.

"But, if I'm sitting around having some beers, if it's like 11, 12, on a Friday or Saturday, I know he's up," Rock said. "He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours."

He added, "I enjoy the hell out of hanging out with [Trump] and talking with him and just having a front row seat to the greatest s*** show on earth."

Rock's relationship with Trump previously drew attention after two Apache attack helicopters flew near the musician's home in Nashville in March. The pilots involved were initially suspended, and Rock later told ABC Nashville affiliate WKRN, "I think they're going to be alright — my buddy is the commander in chief."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later announced that the suspensions had been lifted.
