SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

All day!

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Good to see you. It's fun to see you last night, too.

Kurt Metzger (0:16)

Wait, are we on yet?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Yes.

Kurt Metzger (0:17)

Oh, that's great that we opened up right on.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Right on you puffing. Last night was fun.

Kurt Metzger (0:25)

Oh my god.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

How fun it was to tell, dude.

Kurt Metzger (0:27)

I was remembering today that he said that deliverance was his Barbie.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

He said so many asides like that. There was so many like, you know, Tony said something really funny. He said, you watch him, you die laughing. And then afterwards, you can't remember anything he said.

Kurt Metzger (0:47)

No, that's right. And then I start to have recall. It's like I got abducted and then the memories come back.

So when I woke up, I was laughing because I remembered he said, he said about he goes, I need to get a root canal, but I couldn't get it goes, I couldn't get a root canal because I was in Oklahoma. You know, every life is sacred. He was, you ever have a back alley root canal?

Joe Rogan (1:09)

He was just, everything about him was just so silly and so casual. It was very, very, and when he pulls out the recorder and starts playing that little flute thing.

Kurt Metzger (1:18)

Yeah, he learned to do that over the pandemic. He learned to play recorder.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

The fact that he uses a flip phone for real.

I guess he has, you want some coffee? Yeah. I guess he has a iPhone that he uses for social media. When he, if he ever needs to post.

Kurt Metzger (1:36)

I always want to send him shit, and I can't because he's, I guess he's taking the calls on the flip phone.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Yeah. Yeah, he prefers to be out with the flip phone.

Kurt Metzger (1:44)

Does he work for Massad?

Joe Rogan (1:48)

I think he prefers to be with the flip phone.

But I think he's right. I think he's right. I think if you have a cell phone that's only connected to the Internet, a smartphone, but you don't use it that often, every now and then you check it, that's probably the way to go.

Kurt Metzger (2:02)

Of course he's right.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Yeah.

Kurt Metzger (2:03)

Everybody has North Korea in their pocket at all times.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yes. Yeah, you really do.

Our government, their government, everybody's government.

Kurt Metzger (2:11)

You better hope it's multiple governments, so there's at least some competition for your data. And it's not just one monopoly has all your data.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

How much have you paid attention to the TikTok thing? Whether trying to do this ban on TikTok?

Kurt Metzger (2:22)

Too much because we covered it. And it's because, well, here's what it's, besides controlling and being able to take shit down whenever they want and doing.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Which is a real problem.

Kurt Metzger (2:34)

Yeah, we are China by the way. I don't know if people think we're not China, but we are China.

And but now the real push was coming because of Israel, not because of, you know, the all the Hamas videos or whatever, but Israelis post shit.

TikTok censors people. TikTok's not like a free speech something platform. So the shit Israeli soldiers are posting themselves is getting out. And what happens is the kids are on TikTok and, you know, it hasn't been 1944 forever. It's been pretty woke here. So now that's clashing seeing seeing this shit that, you know, remember Osama bin Laden made a huge comeback like about a I don't know how many months ago.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Oh, right, right, right.

Kurt Metzger (3:17)

People just discovered his letters. I think he's an industry plant.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

So what are these Israeli soldiers putting up on TikTok?

Kurt Metzger (3:29)

Well, all the war crimes that they do. No.

Look, I want to make this clear to everyone. I would never listen to an Arab, OK? So I want you to understand that. I would never believe a Muslim about nothing. You don't have to ever do that.

Look at not America, what they tell you, Israeli news, Israeli politicians, their ambassadors when they come here and talk, listen to what they say, because that's what I unfortunately did. And it was quite disturbing. And what's even more disturbing is when I tell my friends here in America, they go, yeah, no, it's war. You're talking Hiroshima, right? You've heard the old Nagasaki Hiroshima?
