The Black Keys on Joe Rogan

On an episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ a couple of years ago, Rogan was joined by The Black Keys. The episode is just so full of amazing stories and antics that the band have done and pulled over their time together. The band took to the show with Joe Rogan to discuss a new album, but not only that, they were able to tell some never before heard stories to the Joe Rogan audience.

The Black Keys prank call

On the show, a discussion is started by Joe Rogan about pranking people and prank phone calls. There seems to have been a falling out with prank calls over the last ten years or so as now all phones come equipped with some form of caller ID. That wasn’t always the case, as some older readers know.

During this segment about prank calls, drummer of the Black Keys, Patrick Carney took to giving his take on prank calling as he is very fond of dishing it out.

The Black Keys pranked KFC

Patrick stated: “I was calling, like, KFC’s and I would say I was calling from corporate. I would say ‘Hey, we just sent a secret taster out there – let’s talk to the manager. So, the taster said everything was great, but they could only taste ten of the herbs and spices – have you been storing the ingredients on an aluminum rack in the back?’ He (the person on the other end) is getting really confused.”

He continues on: “He’s like ‘What? what?’ I said ‘Yeah, the eleventh herb and spice – it’s a caustic chemical. It reacts with the metal.’ He was confused. Then I would call back because I felt bad. I would say ‘Did you get a call back from corporate?’ They would say ‘Yeah’ and I would say ‘That’s actually Popeyes, we have been one step behind them all day.”
