AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan invited Theo Von to an episode of his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', where they discussed the status of the comedy industry and eventually politics. During a rant over transgender-friendly swimwear, Rogan shared his views while bashing Target for their Pride Month merchandise.
Von is an actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster, and television personality. He is the host of the podcast 'This Past Weekend' and a former co-host of 'The King' and the 'Sting'. He is a recurring guest on many comedians' podcasts, including Rogan's podcast, Joey Diaz's 'The Church of What’s Happening Now,' 'The Fighter and the Kid' and 'Bobby Lee's TigerBelly.'
'A little of that’s going on right now with all the woke s**t'
During the conversation about the business profit on the podcast's episode, Von said, “I wish there was an app where when you went to a business, you could tell where they put their political money, right? So then it would start to affect the bottom lines of companies. So then those companies would stop.”
Rogan responded talking specifically about Target's loss, "A little of that’s going on right now with all the woke s**t. Like Target lost billions of dollars because they tried to have this pride selection." The conversation continued and Von added his views saying, "“Oh yeah. Gay mannequins.” Rogan clarified and said, "Well they had all these like pride children’s shirts."
Rogan also brought up the Bud Light incident, which arose from their collaboration with transgender influencer, Dylan Mulvaney. "They’ve lost 20 plus billion dollars. You imagine — you just gonna send a f**king can to some confused person that — ‘Day 365 of womanhood,'" Rogan mocked Mulvaney.
Rogan added, "And you send that person a f**king can with their face on it and your company loses $20 billion dollars. That is wild sh*t, man."
'F**king real weirdness'
According to The New York Post, Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch lost more than $27 billion in market value as of June, months after Bud Light partnered with Mulvaney for a TikTok video campaign.
"So we’re seeing that now. But we never saw that before where people are going ‘Enough. Enough. Stop shoving this down everybody’s throat.’ When I go to Target, I don’t wanna see like f**king tuck pants. They’re designed to help you tuck your d**k. Like, hey, that’s not normal and I don’t want that right in front of everybody," Rogan said talking about transgender-friendly swimwear.
As the debate went on, Rogan mentioned the "f**king real weirdness" that was going on in the entire world. Rogan continued, "There’s a lot of just f**king real weirdness with this group of people that is trying to like, change the way people view sexuality and gender and all these different, it’s like they’re proselytizing."
