“The thing about this Dylan Mulvaney thing, it’s like-  It’s just someone who wants a lot of attention, and you’re giving that someone a lot of attention. And you’re trying to reach another audience. I saw it[the backlash], and I was like, ‘What the f**k is this?’ My initial reaction is like, ‘This is silly. Are they really doing this?'”, said the 55-year-old.

He further added, “But it’s also your Bud Light fan. Your typical Bud Light fan is like NASCAR, f**king sports. Like, that’s most of the people drinking Bud Light.”

Rogan acknowledged that he understands why people are upset about the situation, but he doesn’t have the same reaction on it. “I like that people get mad. I think what Kid Rock did was funny, I laughed at it, I told him [that] I thought it was funny… But also, it doesn’t make me mad. It just makes me like, ‘What?!’ I get what they’re doing, though. They’re trying to get people who are popular. They’re trying to get influencers to help them.”
