Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) revealed the hilarious “Boss Man” game his kids have been playing since he became former President Donald Trump’s running mate.
On Thursday, Vance sat down with the guys on “The Ruthless” podcast for his first post-vice presidential debate interview to talk about how this election compares to when he ran and won his Senate seat in 2022 and how much his life has changed since Trump put him on the ticket. Vance said he’s gotten calls from friends asking how he’s doing, noting all the traveling he and Trump have been doing to reach voters before the election.
“You know, I’m honestly having a great time and the fact that I get to bring my kids with me on some of this stuff is very cool,” Vance said. “But honestly, when I ran for Senate [in the] state of Ohio … I’d ride around in Patrick’s used Subaru, driving five hours to Youngstown and then back to Cincinnati.”
“Now I fly in a 737 with my kids, like, it’s a much easier life to run for vice president actually than it is to run for the Senate,” he added. “So, you’re never going to hear me complain about it.”
The podcast hosts asked Vance’s if his three kids (ages 7, 4, and 2) understand what’s happening, and he joked they have no idea, pointing to a game his kids have started playing at school, which they call “Boss Man.”

“The best part is, you know, the kids have a secret service detail now,” Vance said. “We learned from one of my son’s friends, his parents were like, ‘Do you know the kids play this game in school called ‘boss man?’ And I was like, ‘No, what is boss man?’”
“He’s like, ‘Well, it’s where one kid walks down the hallway flanked by four other kids on each side,’” he added. “So, they kind of get, like, that part of it — at least my seven-year-old does.”
At one point, Vance also addressed his viral “Jim from The Office” moment from the VP debate.
“The one thing I didn’t realize, this thing that’s gone super viral of me kind of doing the ‘Jim from The Office’ thing looking into the camera,” Vance said. “I wish I could take credit for it, but it’s because the, I guess the timer is right by the camera, so I was just, you know, I was trying to, like, pay attention to what he’s saying.”
“But then you have to be ready for when his time’s up because then it’s your turn to speak,” he added. “And so I was looking at the timer figuring … it spawned a million viral memes. So I’m glad they did it like that.”
