0:00 Assume assume they have nothing. >> Okay. >> What's the thing that you're exposing them to for the first time? >> What am I going to show them? It's what I tell all my friends. Love Island, brother. [laughter] >> Bro, and that's like ████ >> BE LIKE, "THANK GOD WE LIVE IN NORTH KOREA." >> Did you guys know that the North Korean government implements the death penalty against its citizens for watching and sharing foreign films and TV dramas? Damn. >> What? >> Yeah. >> Like if you watch like a like a I don't know soap opera from America, then they ████ chop your head off. >> Like it better be good because like it's it's worth your life apparently. >> It's crazy. >> You think they like they like keep the VPN companies alive for them to do that just as a test?
0:50 >> Oh, you think so? >> Just to catch people. >> You know what I mean? >> Yeah. Cuz then it's like you you could like off the service so that it's like impossible, but then it's like if people have some weird version of access. >> Yeah. Like a like enttrapment pretty much. >> Yeah. >> Just to like filter out all the bad citizens. >> Yeah. >> Maybe. >> But I understand why if you're trying to like brainwash your whole country, you don't want outside thoughts coming in, >> right? >> So you got to >> What if they're watching Wolf of Wall Street and they go, "What? We can make money like that?" >> Exactly. But don't they also just need a lot of people? That's kind of frivolous to be offen them that for stuff like that. >> Yeah. I don't know because that's what's scary about this. So what they do what how they know this is the all the people who escape give the news. It's kind of like Bart's dad escaped communism and gives the news about what it was like
1:40 cuz they're not reporting that officially. I was watching this one um North Korean guy uh and then he was like, "I was watching Happy Pete and then they pulled on me for watching Happy Pete and they was going to kill me." And then I was like, "Oh, ████ That's crazy." So they're like trying to murder people for watching a Penguin movie and then so he ran away to came came to America, dude. So he wouldn't get killed. >> But isn't that one of those things where if you run away, even if you're successful at running away, they get your whole family in concentration camps? >> Yeah. It's crazy. >> So, you got to be down to be like, "Look, I'll sacrifice my whole family." >> You gota be mad selfish to watch Happy Feet. >> Yeah. >> I just wanted to watch a Happy Pete >> and you don't even know if it's good. That's the sad part. >> You might get caught watching a dud of a movie. >> What if everybody's like, "Happy Pete is very good." [laughter]
2:30 >> Damn, that's great. >> Next time, watch a Madagascar [laughter] >> or what if they wasted it? Like they're watching Marvel's Iron Fist and they're like >> or the Marvel thought they thought they were downloading Iron Man. [laughter] >> They see Iron Fist like, "Oh, what is and and then they hear a knock on the door and then gunfire like, "Oh, no, no, no, no. This isn't even good." [laughter] >> Yeah, please. It sucks. >> No, no, no. >> They're saying like they get electricity like one, two hours a day, right? >> No way. >> When they get that window of time, that's when they got to do all their cooking, showering, and whatever. And that's when they get to watch their movies and ████ And they're like, everyone gets burned um CDs of mostly South Korean shows and stuff. Yeah. >> How do they manage like the North Korean Olympic teams that like go out to other
3:20 countries? I don't know, man. >> Well, they have their own camps andmies, though. >> That's what I'm saying, though. Like, are there Does each person who's an athlete have like a specific onetoone guard who's just watching them the entire time that they're not doing their training? >> They're they're probably living at the academy. >> Okay. What if the guard who's guarding them is like, >> "Hey, you hear about happy?" >> Yeah, >> but those >> he's the one that gives it to him. >> But that cat is being watched by another guard who's like, [laughter] >> "Damn, double guard, dude." >> And as it goes up, they're just more of an ████ than the last one. >> So, check this out. So, escapees um from North Korea told UN researchers that from 2020 onwards, there had been more executions in North Korea for distributing foreign content. They describe how these executions are carried out by firing squads in public to instill instill fear in people and
4:10 discourage them from breaking the law. Kanguri nailed it, who escaped in 2023, told the BBC that three of her friends were executed after being caught with with watching the circle. >> The circle of all things. >> Yeah. She was at the trial of one 23-year-old friend who was sentenced to death for watching Perfect Match. >> Damn. >> All right. So, you remember V for Vendetta? Yeah, that was good. >> Yeah. Homeboy, uh the Pierce Mor Morgan looking dude. Uh who who's got >> he's like the TV personality or whatever. And he's got the whole basement with like all the cultural stuff, right? But he's like willing to die >> on that hill for like culture, history, honest, authentic, like the feeling of love, right? Even though he like supports or or publicly is is a part of the voice of the propaganda for like the government or the finger or whatever,
5:00 right? If you're in that same North Korean position, what thing are you willing to die for to get your people this global media, this culture, this music, this movie? What? What's the thing that you're like, hey, cuz you're like the circle, that's what they die for. What's the thing where you're like, >> I'll die for that one. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like Back to the Future. >> Yeah. Like for like >> h if I was North Korean, I'd probably just want to get them a ████ documentary about themselves. >> Oh. >> Cuz that's what they would benefit most from. >> Not the ████ Team America. >> Well, just to see who they are in the Earth. >> Oh, >> cuz you know, like they're so like shut in on one side, right? >> Like they don't know what's out here. >> Yeah. Like if you just show them a random movie, they'll be like, "Oh,
5:50 that's pretty cool." But like to show that like where where they stand in terms of globalization, that's got to get you out of there quicker than seeing, you know, Back to the Future. >> That's true. Because if you show them like a South Korean mukbonger, they might be like, "Why do they have so much food?" >> But what if it's But what if for But what if to North Koreans, they're like they've already been watching stuff underground for a while and they they think that the documentary is boring and they're like, "I just want to watch, you know, Hell's Kitchen." Like I already been watching. Assume assume they have nothing. >> Okay. >> What's the thing that you're exposing them to for the first time? >> What am I going to show them? It's what I tell all my friends. Love Island, brother, [laughter] >> bro. And that's like ████ >> BE LIKE, "THANK GOD WE LIVE IN NORTH KOREA." >> WELL, that's also like 85 episodes, too. >> Oh, dude. They'll have a great time. [laughter] >> I think I'm going to show them US Marshals. >> The bombshell. The bombshell.
6:41 >> Marshals. No, I want North Koreans to try to get like internet just so they could try s█████████ the the cast of Love Island on Instagram. Be like, "You you're a piece of s███." Like, "F███ you. You shouldn't have broke her heart. >> Got to hurry up and send it cuz then the electricity's gone an hour." >> My god, dude. >> It depends. If they have nothing, then what good does it do to give them something to like revolt? Just have a ████ good time. Something nice. Cuz imagine people only been eating oatmeal their whole life and it's like >> you could give them a Worther's original and then ████ their whole lives up or just keep eating oatmeal [laughter] and just die. >> Yeah. >> Like isn't that kind of cruel at one point then? >> Yeah. Cuz now they're like ████ that original is crazy >> out there. >> Yeah. What about that one movie that um
7:31 is about them >> produced by Sony and remember their team of hackers hacked Sony and >> you talking about the interview? >> The interview. [laughter] What if we show them that? >> That's tight. That's a tight one. >> And they'll be like, "What the f███?" >> Yeah, that's a good one. >> This is a kid. This is our leader. You cannot do that to the leader. >> Well, that's what they're raised to think. Yeah. >> That's what they're raised to think is like he's perfect. If you don't dust their pictures, they have random checks and they'll be like, "We're just checking." And then they'll look and be like, "Why is the picture of our dear leader ████ up?" >> And then they get they go to jail. >> North Korea sounds crazier than jail. >> That's like my grandpa used to do white glove inspections like of my mom's like bedroom when they were kids. >> White gloves. >> Yeah, cuz he's a Marine, right? >> So they he would come in with the white gloves on, like the Marine Corps gloves on, and then they would he would do that to the window.
8:21 >> This is your military grandpa. >> Marine Corps grandpa. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's like that. That's like, oh, really? You're not going anywhere today. >> Imagine giving all of North Korea like the entire Michael Jackson discoraphy. >> Dude, that'll make them capitalist. >> Oh, dog. That's freaking nice, man. Yeah. >> Me off with my Pete, baby. >> Conversely, imagine giving all of North Korea the entire JK News discoraphy. >> Oh, >> I don't even think they're going to understand what they're watching. >> Yeah, >> they're going to like it, dude. But music is universal. If they hear those beats, they might go crazy. >> Dude, imagine North Koreans being like, "Anthony is so gay." [laughter] >> Coming out in 2026, baby. >> Dude, what's it like to try to be gay in North Korea? >> Oh, dude. >> Oh,
9:11 >> bro, you got bigger problems, bro. >> Yeah. I watched this one defector talking about how they spend their weekends and stuff. >> And then he's like, "Everything's kind of the same as here where you go to school and whatever, but he goes on, I think it was Saturday, every once a week, so if you're in school, you get together and you have to talk about your sins. You got to be like, "Ah, I ████ up this week." You know, >> I didn't do my I guess like prayer to the dear leader or like whatever. And then it's like a circle admission session and you're supposed to tell on each other too. Be like, "Hey dude, like I remember last time in class like when we were doing the ████ salute, you weren't really present." >> So there's this like weird tell on each other and tell on yourself culture. >> Weird. That would never happen in America during COVID when people were
10:01 just trying to go to church. >> Yeah. [laughter] Where people trying to wakeboard. >> Yeah. But you think you think like the entire culture and community there though is like it's like um it's like high school. Let's say uh let's say you're in a high school and the craziest news came out. One one of the teachers was like ████ a student or whatever, you know, and it's so taboo. Of course, nobody's supposed to talk about it. Nobody's supposed to know about it. But by lunch period, everyone in the school somehow knows. You'll never bring it up. You'll never know where the source came from, but somehow everybody knows. You think it becomes so taboo but coveted that like everybody there knows stuff. >> Oh yeah. >> It's just a matter of if you get caught. >> I think as Americans we overgeneralize what we think they're doing, but I think they're I think they see way more content than we think, way more news
10:51 than we think. >> Well, they they it's also hard because they're not what's the news source of North Korea? North Korea. Right. >> Right. >> So it's hard to get like every angle of anything that happens there. But tech tech has gotten so good. I think they're getting >> that's the part that blows my mind. The fact that scientists even exist there. That means they have to reference so much data from the outside in order to get ahead. >> Unless it's all their own madeup. Like we invented the DNA. We invented the cell. >> We invented the burrito. >> Remember that >> they said they said Kim Jong-un his dad invented the burrito. >> Like imagine [clears throat] everything's like Kim Jong- was the one that invented the light bulb and the internet >> and you're like oh ████ Okay. And the treadmill. >> Damn. I'm just saying like even for us children at the time, we were able to through things like Napster or Limewire or whatever, getting a Playboy magazine or a porno ████ burn CD passed around
11:43 like somehow the most like taboo illegal adult random stuff. Everybody got their hands on everything at some point. >> Yep. >> You know, like they they have to >> or how does a 12-year-old boy know Jenna Jameson's name? >> Yep. >> Exactly. You know, I'm just saying like they got to know like >> a lot. >> Yeah. >> It's just a matter of are you getting caught >> because it's teleoning. Who knows what the data turns into after a while. >> Yeah. >> But at that point, who cares what's right and wrong or true or false, right? It's just a matter of like thinking, believing, or being entertained by it. >> You know what's even crazier is that when some of them do get out, they could say whatever the ████ they want to us and we'll just believe it. >> That's facts. >> Oh, like that one chick. >> Like that one chick. Yeah. Yeah. Well, not just a chick, bro. She got the cannon. [laughter]
