0:00 oh yeah he just read the manual how to fly a plane he was just sitting as a co-pilot and they just took took off like yeah Kim Jong-un now knows how to fly a plane oh my God what can't he do yeah what can he do lose weight [Music] good news everybody we got some good news from North Korea for a change good news from Ryan correction I don't know if I believe Ryan no don't I don't have any this is my favorite country in the world yeah there's no twists or due for some good news I think Kim Jong-un just declared a formal order that all North Koreans must now stop committing suicide or else that's cool he took a stand or else I'll kill you kill your whole family yeah he really he really just declared a ban on suicide because too many people are killed themselves we got

0:51 some stats and he doesn't like that you know what's crazy it's stats are so hard to come by because they refuse to release them but the little tidbits that they do get are really disturbing really full families are killing themselves not just one dude like households are killing themselves well the quality of life is just so so great right it's so great what's happening over there why are they so that yeah I thought he invented the burrito and then everyone was happy yeah yeah the wheat wrap uh yeah so now uh killing yourself is you're you're penalized as an it's an act of treason now so that does that make people go oh I better not oh ████ we better not do it yeah we should we don't want to be treasonous yeah so I know it sounds

1:42 really silly but what happens is that uh if you kill yourself you can also uh get in trouble I think your own family you're surviving oh three generations right yeah and also it says here that the officials who are like in charge of your District or something could also be in trouble like we don't give a ████ about the officials that's what's gonna kind of motivate them to sort of do better I don't know or or is this gonna cause more families to commit suicide too many people getting in trouble all the time like Bloodlines you know like ████ it we might as well just kill ourselves now jeez that's so crazy so it's happening a lot to the point where you had to make it Ryan this is a hot this is kind of a question for you do you think Kim Jong-un is like a pretty good leader how is that a question what do you think

2:32 I'm gonna say do you think he's like uh like objectively speaking like take politics out of it do you think I don't even got two sides over there yeah do you think he's like how about this I think he's I think he's doing his best with God is not neutral enough yeah you're a PR guy yeah I don't see the difference between like a king during medieval times and the Kim family it's a dynasty it's like he's you know but they're just wearing communist outfits but it feels like he's a king they have cooler haircuts too I think the difference is in the medieval times if you hear like word from far away lands you're like oh okay it's just this s█████ over there I think over here they're like wait none of the world lives like this and I think that's what probably makes them go that

3:23 must be wild can you imagine growing up in like a village out there and then like you get a smartphone one day and you see like all that ████ like what the ████ I mean they have it's probably blocked but they change the SIM card and then they go what the ████ what do you think about this I think it's ████ absolutely insane people Count Their Blessings who live in the United States yeah for real because they they brainwash them and think that they're demigods you know so you got to worship the statue you know when you Walks Like You Gotta cry there's only a certain amount of haircuts men's can get I mean it's it's crazy it's like illegal to take the picture off from your home yeah there's just so many coat like his yeah because that's the coolest code the craziest thing to think about is somebody who's born in North Korea yeah and died in North Korea and never knew anything else did you know a lot of um

4:15 defectors go back like the percentage is like they can't deal with more people go back to North Korea than stay outside they say life is harder even though they're like eating a lot but no friends well they also get treated they also get treated they're discriminated and yeah right they're not really like welcomed in the same way that you would expect yeah I wonder what happened and they go back they probably get killed and their family oh you came back come here buddy why do you look so healthy huh I wonder if it's which which direction you think it's easier to go right from South Korea to North Korea Escape or return what's he oh oh dude probably escaping you think escaping is easier oh returning back to Oh you mean like just living or just like what's what's easier

5:06 to do yeah for like the actual Act of leaving or entering a prison break or a prison break in yeah I said going back yeah yeah oh it's harder what's your name that escaped from North is it Kim Park oh the yeah you want to meet Park yeah her story is crazy yeah her story is wild why do you think going back is easier because I I think like they just go to the line the front line be like hey I'm a Defector I'm a Defector and it just freaking cross then then planning the Escape like okay they got these fence off we got to try to make it through these Barbed wires this is the patrol of this area you have to know somebody on the outside to even filter you through the fact that anybody escapes is crazy yeah that's super crazy isn't it like a thing too that when someone escapes they kind of get treated with distrust as if like you're really just you're a mole yeah yeah they go like yeah we sure you escaped you know

5:57 they send you up here to yeah they just don't want you in any kind of like important job or anything like worth having because they're just like okay you know that's pretty ████ up they do a lot of uh North Korean Defector interviews on I think it's called Asian boss it's like a it's a YouTube channel but like they record a lot in Asia and man I just went down this rabbit hole because there's like of hundreds of defectors like in South Korea right from different levels of government different levels of class out there and then their stories are just so different and I mean it'll probably be like here like if if a wealthy person in America ran away versus like someone you know that's poor or like someone that's from the military that they have different stories yeah so I was like that was that's pretty interesting but one thing this um former military guy

6:47 said is that they do send spies over purposely to talk big about how strong the North Korean military is be careful and they're just bragging they're trained to like tell a story and that in to like not make it seem like it's fake yeah but then like it's kind of like little by little and I was like damn that's a that's an interesting tactic subin how do we tell the difference between a North and South Korean the way the way it physically yeah the way they look this one's really hungry one's like it has anything they look different yeah they're mad skinny yeah would you say they're mannerism since they were raising like in that type of type of culture for so long like the way they they speak yeah the way they speak you know how yeah probably South Korea is more like Western culture influence

7:37 compared to like up there the way they say speak talk yeah Koreans you know they're more relay back when they talk yeah of course like a military speech or something everyone's so fast whoa I don't even know what they're saying to be honest really yeah I'm Korean too I don't know what they're saying there it is it's quick it's fast so they just sound like they're communist just the way they're yeah well they sound like they're in the 19 something still oh Korean has slangs now and more you know like you said westernized it's more different still stuck back there no drip in the language huh no drip they got no swag dude they got no North Korean swag clean

8:29 cut that's true because they just still have accordion bands and stuff you ever see those 50 dudes playing accordion and ████ looks like Mata Russia dude they watch TV on the USB drive for real yeah what kind of shows they got on there ████ I don't know Breaking Bad you think they're watching Breaking Bad yeah right what if it's like every American show but with like Kim jong's like ████ face all the main characters ████ Rambo oh funny they just remake American films where he's the heroes are pretty good cube is kind of tight did you see that little propaganda these all the adventures when they had Kim like oh yeah he just read the manual how to fly a plane he was just sitting as a co-pilot and they just took took off
