=== Harley Davidson Goes Woke (05:29) ===

[00:00:00]  Okay, for our last subject of the episode, I wanted to return us to BizPakReview, the land of ads and more ads.
[00:00:11]  For this article, I saw bikers feel used after Harley Davidson goes totally woke.
[00:00:16]  Quote, it's branding suicide.
[00:00:21]  This is something that was brought to my attention on Facebook and I've seen it elsewhere.
[00:00:25]  They're mad at Harley Davidson again, Tony.
[00:00:29]  Harley Davidson went woke again.
[00:00:31]  I didn't know it was possible to get even more woke than Harley Davidson already was, but they did it.
[00:00:38]  Yeah, you know, where I saw this first, and I think that's why it's, it's, it says a lot about why the government was so ready to get rid of TikTok.
[00:00:45]  Cause I saw this on where the real bikers hang out, where the real, where the real hogs are, where they're really speaking to them.
[00:00:51]  I saw this on TikTok.
[00:00:52]  Yeah.
[00:00:53]  You know, with the real heads.
[00:00:56]  So what did you see on TikTok?
[00:00:58]  What's funny about it is I couldn't find what they were mad about.
[00:01:02]  I just saw them getting mad.
[00:01:03]  And a lot of them doing like petitioning other motorcycle companies for like a good bike and bragging about how much money they spent on their Harleys.
[00:01:13]  Hey, listen, Indian motorcycle.
[00:01:15]  This one guy was like, listen, Indian, this guy right here, I had overnighted to me.
[00:01:20]  You go ahead and get to me and I'm going to buy a motorcycle from you.
[00:01:24]  I'm not going to ride this anymore.
[00:01:27]  Why do you have to make a TikTok to buy a motorcycle?
[00:01:30]  Is that part of it now?
[00:01:33]  Do the dealerships have so much power now that they force you to do that?
[00:01:37]  I think, yeah, I think you have to do a public proclamation for the, for the motorcycle brand you're looking at.
[00:01:43]  Yeah.
[00:01:44]  And then a couple of days later I was in front of this guy at the grocery store and he was wearing a shirt that said, it said, like I said, black Harley Davidson owners.
[00:01:55]  And me and him are laughing about it because I, again, I didn't, I still didn't, I still don't even know what they did to make him mad.
[00:02:00]  I have no idea.
[00:02:01]  I'm excited to find out.
[00:02:02]  And he was like, he's like, man, I'm already seeing him on sale for like good prices and I'm loving it.
[00:02:07]  Oh shit.
[00:02:07]  Like let, let, let him sell their bikes to me.
[00:02:09]  Yeah.
[00:02:09]  Keep going.
[00:02:10]  Whoa.
[00:02:11]  Yeah.
[00:02:11]  I love it.
[00:02:14]  It's fucking hilarious to buy a Harley David, have a new Harley Davidson and complain about anything.
[00:02:23]  Right?
[00:02:24]  Should not be allowed to complain about anything.
[00:02:26]  No, no.
[00:02:28]  This is another great example of like... Triggered much?
[00:02:33]  A new Harley Davidson is what?
[00:02:36]  $30,000?
[00:02:37]  Easily.
[00:02:39]  If you're still buying them, you are the sucker.
[00:02:43]  If you're still buying new Harley Davidsons... Yes.
[00:02:47]  You don't have real problems.
[00:02:49]  No sympathy.
[00:02:50]  Um...
[00:02:52]  Pretty fucking funny to spend $30,000, $40,000, $60,000 on a motorcycle and then read on Twitter that actually a Harvey Davidson branch sponsored a drag show at a library or whatever.
[00:03:10]  And now you have to be mad about that.
[00:03:12]  Like you, you already gave them $40,000.
[00:03:16]  They're laughing at you.
[00:03:17]  I don't, I don't know what you, what leverage You think you have over them?
[00:03:25]  Yeah, you already paid them.
[00:03:27]  Exactly.
[00:03:28]  They don't get that.
[00:03:29]  They have no idea how anything works.
[00:03:31]  It's so funny.
[00:03:32]  I mean, I bet a lot of these fuckers do buy a new bike every five or ten years.
[00:03:39]  But if, you know, if Harley Davidson goes out of business for it, I'm OK with that.
[00:03:46]  I think they should die on their principles.
[00:03:48]  I think Harley Davidson should die on their feet.
[00:03:52]  Sponsoring drag shows.
[00:03:54]  Let me read here.
[00:03:57]  Harley-Davidson is reportedly facing growing backlash over the motorcycle manufacturer's decision to go quote woke.
[00:04:03]  Aren't Harley-Davidson, isn't Harley-Davidson like owned by a German company now anyway?
[00:04:08]  I think they're owned by a European company because I remember us covering backlash over Harley-Davidson Years and years ago.
[00:04:17]  Yeah.
[00:04:18]  I think maybe the owner made an anti-Trump statement at some point as well.
[00:04:25]  They've gone woke several times.
[00:04:27]  I thought maybe they were going to stop making gas motorcycles.
[00:04:34]  I would understand them being upset about that.
[00:04:37]  I thought that's what was happening here.
[00:04:40]  Yeah, I think they, like, changed the engine to make them quieter, too, or something, and that was going woke.
[00:04:48]  The company's decision to go, quote, woke became apparent in a Twitter slash X post published last month by conservative activist Robbie Starbuck.
[00:04:57]  In the tweet, Starbuck highlighted multiple ways in which the company embraced, quote, woke politics.
[00:05:02]  And I have that tweet right here.
[00:05:05]  It's time to expose Harley-Davidson.
[00:05:08]  Ad Harley-Davidson has been one of the most beloved brands in America, but recently on CEO Jochen Zeit's watch, they've gone totally woke.

=== Rage Rooms and Transphobia (03:22) ===

[00:05:17]  Here's some of what we found.
[00:05:19]  Openly supports the Equality Act, which would allow men into girls' bathrooms, sports, and locker rooms.
[00:05:24]  Also tampons.
[00:05:26]  I heard they're going to allow, Harley-Davidson is going to allow tampons in all bathrooms.
[00:05:31]  I heard Harley-Davidson is going to put a little, a little tampon carrier on other bikes that you can't take off.
[00:05:38]  HD funded an all ages pride event that featured a quote rage room next to drag queen story time.
[00:05:45]  This I loved.
[00:05:47]  Okay.
[00:05:48]  You know what a rage room is, Tony?
[00:05:50]  Yeah.
[00:05:50]  I think this is, I think that this is smart.
[00:05:53]  I think that every drag show should have a rage room next door.
[00:05:55]  I think that's the way we can maybe send the people who are so mad about drag queens to the rage room.
[00:06:03]  Um, I saw something else, them getting mad about rage rooms.
[00:06:10]  But I was like multitasking and I didn't stop to investigate.
[00:06:13]  I was wondering why they would be mad about Rage Rooms, because it's such like a Spike TV style business venture, like next to the axe throwing bar, you got your Rage Room.
[00:06:26]  You know, like why would the right ever be mad about this?
[00:06:31]  Well, I figured it out now.
[00:06:32]  Do you know why?
[00:06:34]  Okay, this is my guess.
[00:06:35]  Yeah.
[00:06:36]  A rage room is like a safe space.
[00:06:40]  Okay, good guess.
[00:06:41]  That's not what I was going to say.
[00:06:42]  I think it's a reference to the Trans Day of Rage.
[00:06:49]  Oh, okay.
[00:06:50]  Remember that?
[00:06:51]  Yeah.
[00:06:52]  Like, there was like a Trans Day of Rage to, you know, protest anti-trans violence.
[00:07:00]  And the right wing Took that and combined that with that one shooter who may or may not have been a trans man.
[00:07:09]  I don't remember what the final verdict was on that one.
[00:07:13]  The shooter who shot up the Christian school, shot the kids and stuff.
[00:07:19]  They tried to say tie that to like trans rage.
[00:07:25]  Yeah, that makes sense.
[00:07:26]  It's like, it's one of the things, oh, I'm surprised they know about it at all, because it was like a positive, but because of the way it was, the wording is, I'm sure they're going to latch onto it and be like, how was rage anything but violent?
[00:07:40]  Right.
[00:07:40]  Yeah.
[00:07:40]  That was like the social media campaign was Trans Day of Rage.
[00:07:46]  I mean, there's probably several.
[00:07:48]  I don't know.
[00:07:48]  I don't know enough about it to, like, speak authoritatively on it.
[00:07:50]  There was probably, like, several versions of whatever, you know, whatever they were trying to do with that organizing.
[00:08:02]  But yeah, a lot of people are trying to tie that to like, you know, they'll say like every every mass shooters trans now.
[00:08:09]  Yeah.
[00:08:09]  Yeah.
[00:08:09]  No matter what, that's the way to go.
[00:08:11]  That's part of the same meme.
[00:08:12]  That's part of the same meme is that like trans people are too angry to be allowed to have guns or whatever.
[00:08:19]  I think that's what they think a rage room is.
[00:08:22]  I think they think a rage room is like a trans, like a safe space, maybe Tony, but like a, like let your rage, they probably have like cis effigies up that you could smash a microwave on their head.
[00:08:35]  Yep.
[00:08:36]  Yep.
[00:08:36]  That makes sense.
[00:08:37]  Yeah.
