- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Well, people are tweeting like they're from Bud Light now,
because, you know, there's Bud Light,
if you go Bud Light underscore,
so they're making these very subtle commercials
that are like, almost as like,
nothing goes with wieners like Bud Light.
- Wow.
- You know, and it's like two hot dogs.
- I didn't realize--
- And people are like, what is this?
- What is this?
- Is this a parody account?
And then, it is a parody.
- Yeah.
- But it's subtle.
- I didn't realize that, that like, what's it called?
You know, them people abandoning it would be that,
like, I didn't realize--
- It's crazy.
- It really has stuck, and there was a,
I saw an article about revenue,
and like, and the share that they have of the market,
and how it has totally taken a shift.
- Like 26 billion dollars.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah.
- They really, really did, boy,
that's the word I was looking for,
they were boycotting it.
- Yeah, and then the trans movement got mad
that they didn't support Dylan Mulvaney.
So, a lot of like, LBGTQ and whatever the other letters are,
those bars stopped carrying Bud Light.
- So it's really--
- 'Cause they felt like Bud Light didn't back them up.
And then, there was video footage of them sponsoring
a pride parade.
So it's like a Bud Light parade truck with a bunch of people
dancing around like, "We like to fuck guys too."
And I'm like, "I'm a girl."
- Yeah.
- "I like to fuck girls."
Like, it's whatever it is.
It's like, they're like dancing around inside this.
- Yeah.
- So, now they're advertising in front of the pride people.
And so then the people are like,
"Oh, they're fucking doubling down."
It's like, they can't win.
- No.
- So, the pride people are mad.
How weird is it that when you say pride,
people immediately think of gay?
- Pride means gay, yeah.
- How wild is that?
- Yeah.
- That they did that?
- Yeah, they own, like, it's--
- Cain Velasquez has brown pride tattooed on his chest.
- Yeah.
- Now people are like, "What are you trying to say?"
- He's gay brown.
- What is that, what are you trying to say?
You know, it used to be, you were proud.
- Right.
- Now it's-- - Now it's gay.
- It definitely means queer.
- Wild pride month.
- Queer month.
- Imagine, you don't even have to say gay pride anymore.
- Yeah.
- You say pride month.
How insidious, they snuck it in.
They slowly took over pride, like they took over the rainbow.
- It's, yeah, rainbows are, that is,
it's so funny to think that University of Hawaii
used to have rainbows on their helmets.
- Can't have it anymore.
- Well, that also--
- Too beautiful.
- I think the football team was like,
"Can we get something else?"
Like, it was not even related to gay, they were like--
- Shouldn't we be the tiger sharks?
- Yeah, it's like, give us, and they finally changed it.
- What do they know?
- Well, I forget what the,
but they put out like a more badass design on the helmets,
but for years, it was a rainbow.
- Wow.
- You know, 'cause it was like Hawaii, you know?
It was supposed to be, and they were like,
"Come on, man, we're supposed to be out to--"
Yeah, that was on the side of a helmet.
Now it's like on the bottom, it's like that H, you know?
- Isn't that crazy, though?
The rainbow has become, I mean, it's gay.
The rainbow's a gay thing.
- The rainbow's a gay, yeah.
- Yeah, I mean, that's what it is now.
Pride, it's a gay thing.
The word is, like, if you say you have straight pride,
people are like, "Really?"
- Yeah, of course.
- "Do you really?"
- "Do you really?"
- Yeah, you should--
- First of all, why?
You're 99% of the people.
- I'm proud to be straight.
- Fuck you, what are you proud of?
- Yeah.
- Fuck you proud of.
Like, they had a pride, a straight pride parade,
and I was like, "If I was a gay guy
trying to fuck a guy in the closet,
that's where I would go."
- Totally, totally.
- I'd go that straight pride parade
and see who's yelling the loudest.
- Let me see who I can get over here, yeah.
- You wanna argue?
This is such a weird time, man.
Such a weird time because, unfortunately,
because of social media, now anything that you do,
you can form an identity around it,
and then it can be, like, your identity
in terms of, like, your source of, like,
how you view yourself in the world.
You no longer view yourself in the world
as just a human being that's just accepted
for whatever you're interested in.
Now you're in, like, a very specific category or group,
and then there's other people in that group,
and you think there's people that are opposed to you,
and there are people that are opposed to them.
- Yeah.
- So then you're in conflict.
Now you're part of a gang, you know,
that's gonna go after those people that are against us.
Fuck them.
It's wild.
- Yeah.
- It's exhausting, too.
- Exhausting.
Exhausting.
And people want to fight.
They want to argue about shit.
- Don't you just feel like, I mean, like, I don't know,
I get such mental fatigue from a lot of this stuff.
I just feel like I'm an observer,
and I kind of put it to the side and go,
I just, I can't,
you can't entertain and ingest
every one of these things going on.
- Well, that's the, if you're a conspiracy theorist.
- Yeah.
- This is the real conspiracy.
The conspiracy is have as many social problems as possible.
- To distract.
- That people get distracted by,
that people concentrate on.
Whether it's a pandemic,
whether it's masks, vaccines,
pride, trans movement, drag shows.
Sponsor drag shows for kids if you want people to get mad
and want people to get distracted.
- Right, right.
- Sponsor that. - Let them focus on that.
- Get people to think that it's a good idea to do that.
And watch, watch the outrage.
You know, get people to think that the oceans
are going to be boiling in five years, you know?
- Right.
- Get, get people to think that if we don't change it,
like, that was one of the things that Greta Thunberg said
five years ago that we'll all be dead.
- In five years?
- Well, it's five years later, and we're not all dead.
So you're definitely wrong, and you're 16.
So why are they flying you out to Ukraine?
Like, what's going on?
So there's these, so many of these fucking social distractions
that are in our face all day long about everything.
And I feel like sometimes that's what I feel like
about Supreme Court rulings.
We're going to take away Roe v. Wade,
and everybody's like, what the fuck, what, what?
And that's another one.
And then that one becomes a thing that people identify
as the most important problem that they have to solve.
And while all this is going on,
money's getting moved around.
Decisions are getting made.
- Yeah.
- And it's a brilliant cover for wild shit.
- Yeah, 'cause all you have to do ever really
is follow the money on anything.
- Yeah.
- And you see what's actually happening,
and everything else is a distraction to that.
