Hey, macrodosing listeners. You can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. You think there's anybody in North Korea right now that listens to Barstool Podcasts? Like, are there any, like, huge pizza review fans? Or which podcast do you think? A pizza review might be it. What Barstool podcast do you think would really appeal?

Out and about? Yeah. Just stuff that they don't know anything about, chicks in the office. Mean girls. Brianna chicken fry. There's huge chicken fry heads over there. Chaps. I could imagine some of their military, like, intelligence operatives who wanted to get immersed with U.S. military culture may have gandered Zero Block 30. I think zero block is. Oh, I completely doubt that. No. I don't think so.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's going to be the... Biggest super moon until 2037. So enjoy it tomorrow. Yeah, calendars. Okay. I'm going to stare at the moon. I might howl at it. You're going to be what on a plane?

Okay. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be big. They say that it's going to be like the normal moon is the size of a nickel. This moon's going to be the size of a quarter.

Let's go. Damn. Wow. That's a pretty big. upgrade yeah that's a big one if you're a moon guy you're not a moon guy i'm not a big wait we got to say this is gold okay this is podcast gold yeah you got strong we're reporting aren't it's on the moon yeah this will be the cold open it is recording right yeah we're recording we're waiting for billy let's just well wait for billy the cold open

so big t i'm sorry for interrupting or you're not a big moon guy uh not not necessarily well i guess yeah i'm not a big any like the the the solar eclipse a few years ago. There was like, you got to watch this. I was inside. I don't care. Like the moon, the moon's going to be a little bigger. That's awesome. You know, if you're into that sort of thing, it just doesn't do anything for me. Interesting. Big T, how do you feel about the web telescope? Do you think that they can see the Big Bang? I think it's kind of fake. I think it's, there's a lot of AI imaging going on there. Now, Big T, a lot of people say Christianity sort of evolved from sun worships, sun worshippers.

S-O-N? Is it if that the case? Yeah. Who says that? Well, they say that they adopted a lot of things from like past pagan religions that worship the sun. I think there are like traditions like December 25th and stuff like that that you can argue Easter had something to do with that.

but like the religion itself doesn't really, you know, there's no, there's no son of God that's the son. In college, I watched a documentary called Zekegeist and that, that really broke it down. But that was a long time ago. So I can't really argue over here. John chapter one is definitely that way. In the beginning was the word and the word was God, the world became God and became flesh and grew up among us.

That's definitely a pagan concept. Yeah, is the son God? Uh-huh. I would say, yeah. So far as we're all kind of God because he created us in his... Yeah, I mean, no sun, no life on earth. So I feel like sun worshiping makes kind of sense.

Yeah. If there's one thing that you should worship outside of religion, it's definitely the sun. Oh, big time. Rain. Some people do rain. Kind of a bitch at times, though, the sun. Yeah?

Like if you're an outfielder? I mean, yeah. Just like in general. I mean, yeah, just like, imagine thinking you're tougher than the sun, though. The sun? Certainly not. Certainly not. No one is.

We're waiting for Billy to get hooked up here. Some might say that this is the best part of the show. I'm not going to say that. But if you're hearing two voices that aren't usually done macrodosing, you would be correct. We've got Donnie in studio. We've got Chaps, Uncle Chaps in studio.

and then watch it. Perfect. That sounds like a great night to me. And that movie was made by the Safdi Brothers? It was produced by the Safty Brothers. Yeah. And I think also Danny McBride had something to do with it. All right. Nice.

So, yeah. There's some big cosigns on that. I hope Danny McBride makes a show about that, like telemarketer show. You can play Pat. Yeah, he could. He would crush it as Pat. I think Pat should play Pat, though. Yeah.

That's like such a character himself. Kind of like Larry David, but telemarketers. Yes, exactly. Billy, can you hear us? Thumbs up if you can. Billy can't hear us. All right. You guys got any takes you want to get off about Billy?

Oh, where do I want to start? He's kind of been reminding me a Theo Vaughn lately. He's been having a Theo Bonn kind of vibe. He'd be the first to tell you. He gets a lot of comparisons to Theo Von. Mostly from himself. So, yeah, as we wait for Billy to join, what's in the news? What do you guys want to get off your chest?

Do you see the White Sox update? Yeah, I want to hear your take on that. Because my theory is that, that woman, and to back up a little bit, there were gunshots fire. it's Billy okay oh hey guys what's up yeah what's up Billy what's up well like how that's been was they have to plug some stuff

in we know I'm just telling I'm just our side's been good the whole time since one o'clock I think you're right I think they had Are you trying to start a New York Chicago beef right now No no there's many others trying We weren't going to let that happen No no no how you guys doing

I'm doing great Billy We're just we're talking about the Chicago White Sox incident where there were some shots fired at least one shot maybe two shots fired in the outfield stands and left field of the white socks game and um the police just came out and said that uh it was a woman that ended up with one of the gunshots she tried to conceal a handgun in the folds of her belly fat she brought it into the game the gun went off the plaquesco burris and she grazed herself and i think hit another lady in the leg yeah someone else got hit too so um my theory on that is is that she had a gun for self-protection in her bed, as one does. And she rolled over on it in the middle of the night. It got a wedge, and she forgot about it. Her stomach ate the gun.

She didn't know that it was there when she went into the game. And then much to her chagrin, it was, in fact, there. And she shot herself in the stomach. I'm a big weapon safety guy. I don't know how that goes off in your belt button. I just don't know how you have that happen. Well, once she- An outy, an outy. She could be an outy in her pants, I'd assume.

And once you get it in, I don't know how putting it in your stomach, like, conceals a front. Do they not have a metal detector or something? That was my old concern with the story is how do you get a gun into a baseball state? Well, it's like that gif that goes around to the video where the dude's just like Patton, they don't give a shit. Yeah, no one's going to open up a roll. That's for sure. They're making like 16 bucks an hour doing that. Well, like I went to Riggly last night and they don't even have, they don't even look like metal detectors anymore.

It's just too, I guess it bears a resemblance to a metal detector. it's just two vertical columns and you walk through and I guess they're supposed to be able to see stuff on a screen, but like clearly those are working. It's like a TSA? Yeah, like it's not a metal detector? Kind of, yeah. I haven't seen those. Yeah. I mean, that must

have been the least amount of gunshots per capita in the whole city in the stadium. I've been in Chicago for a week. I've heard zero gunshots. I think that, I think we need to move away from the whole Shirek branding. Billy gets his Chicago shy tuckie yeah i like that shy tuck it shy tuck it oh shai tuck it that that's what we call it at least during the summer i think billy gets the majority of his chicago facts from the four you

page on twitter i think that's the videos that they show there billy's like it is scary though you throw on the old google search for chicago any given day yeah you're like oh man somebody else got they got shot they got got yeah i think if you're if you're a very overweight person and you go through security, the detector goes off and the wand indicates the fold area of your stomach. It should be like going through TSA and airport where a woman can request to have a woman pat down. Another fat person gets to open up your roll and check inside. It's less humiliating that way. Yeah. True. I had a drug dealer in high school and he was extremely obese. He used to hide little bags of drugs in his rolls. So smart. Yeah, I'll take a 20 bag. You've just reached

in, pull it out. You have to disinfect that afterwards. well it was in a plastic bag so you know I assume it's like roll sweat and it hasn't leaked through the bag you're not really concerned about like sanitation this was weed but yeah

but yeah yeah I mean that's the I know people that were very anti-vax and those same people would just like scovil cocaine up their nose I felt like that would start really laughing a little too hard at that one

have you ever seen how cocaine's made i've not there's like tons of tick talks of just like people in like peru making cocaine and uh it looks no no no peru okay they make the paste in peru all right yep that's the ones that are going viral okay uh but it's hilarious because it it kind of looks like it should be like an organic substance the way they're making it well it like it starts off as an organic substance. It's made from the cocoa leaf, which a lot of people there just chew recreationally and that's kind of like a coffee buzz. But then, yeah, once they, yeah, I don't know how they turn it into a paste, but it definitely becomes a little less organic. It's pretty organic, too. There's not a whole lot of chemicals, really. There is gasoline, I think.

Gas. Because at one point, they, I just see this like farmer just pour a whole thing of gasoline onto the coca leaves and I'm like oh this is where it gets crazy they do have a lot of I've seen those videos they've got a lot of like lawn equipment laying around where they make them like they might put other chemicals inside of a red canister and it's like oh that looks like gas but it's really just a it's a storage container just like anything else I think you can actually sign up for tours like if you're down in Columbia or Peru it's like narco tourism and then they blindfold you

take you into a jungle and then you get to see how the whole how the sausage is made artisan cartels yeah yeah you can be like the quinneth paltrow now that we're not owned by pen i might be able to get that approved yeah it's true that you're just saying you need another trip maybe that's it yeah just go make a little nose beers yeah i mean that would be a lot safer than buying it off the streets these days true probably yeah but i guess we're going to get we've gotten to the bottom of what happened in Chicago, so that's good. Figure that out. I guess all things considered.

It is, yeah, for someone to get a gun. Now, why she felt she needed a gun in the stadium to begin with, a whole other story. But I guess, you know, it wasn't someone just getting shot random. Wow, I didn't think Big TV would be coming out against the Second Amendment today. Yeah. Wow, shocking. There are, there are, there are places. No, they don't.

Clearly, they don't. Well, you'd like it to be hearted. Do you like it to be a more hard? and target where you can't bring a gun to a game? There are very few places. I think you should not be able to take a firearm. I would maybe like no firearms in crowded arenas. Okay.

Just other crowded places. Just as long as sports not going on. Yeah, places I go. Okay. That's where I can't have one legally, but other people can't illegal. Big T wants common sense gun laws for MLB stadiums. Great. Who doesn't?

Okay. I love it. Chaps, I have a question about gun. safety in particular because in movies it seems like people drop firearms a lot and when they drop them the gun shoots does that happen certain kind of guns it's very rare like a m4 ar 15 no like that won't happen but i have seen like an a k like can go off it depends on really the condition of the weapon but typically no so if you drop a handgun on the ground no probably not going to fire probably not that happens a lot in cartoon i mean you'd have to have

like to hammer back like and all kinds of stuff work to happen but that's really really rare okay but it actually did happen there was an off duty cop and he started breakdancing at a party and the gun fell of his pocket went off and shot someone that's a true story it is a true story I think I actually blogged that story yeah yeah like it happens but it's very very rare don't be sick if if he did that on purpose though he did not shoot a criminal he shot a random person at the party Big T had a great day today. We're recording this on Tuesday. I'm going to be out of the office tomorrow,

playing some golf at a part of my take boys for a video. So we're recording a little bit early. Big T joined us on Kentucky Sports Radio today. And the original plan was for Big T to be on there for about five, 10 minutes, do a little segment, stir things up a little bit. We love to needle the Kentucky fans. And we've thought, you know, what better way than for Big T to join part of my take on Kentucky sports radio and talk about the University of Tennessee.

He was such a star. He stuck around for the entire two hours. show and all the callers were calling up they called him big B that was one of them there was all sorts of you know big names from those slack jawed yokels but um yeah it was it was fun i guess in a in a certain sense what was your favorite kentucky fun fact oh yeah i mean you had a lot of them i so there was one where you mousetrapped yourself actually there were two one you start talking about how great of coach rick barnes no i said they have a losing record against rick barns which is true okay but then you open their basketball program so great but then you open yourself up

for any conversation about Rick Barnes. That's the problem with. Rick Barnes, who's been one of, he's a Hall of Fame basketball coach. Oh, well, he hasn't really had a lot of success in March. Has Kentucky recently? I'm just saying, you open yourself. Also, that's the most volatile postseason in sports. It's designed for the best teams to not win.

But it's interesting that the great coaches get to final fours. Not all that often, but they will at some point. Rick Barnes has been to one with Tennessee. Soon. Okay, soon. But my other favorite moment, Big T, was, when you were talking about how many wins they've had in football compared to how many presidents. Three wins against Tennessee since 1984, four presidents since 2008.

There have been more presidents in the last 15 years than they have wins against Tennessee in the last 30. Which also implies that he acknowledges Joe Biden as the president of the United States. He is the president. There was some chicanery of foot late at night on November, whatever it was, but he's the president. Chicanery. That's a great word. For another year, so. Yeah. I am excited, though, for people to be like,

Joe Milton can beat you with his legs. He's not a runner. If you had to guess, do you think there are more Kentucky football wins against Tennessee since 1984? Okay, cut his mic off. Or, cut his mic off. Presidents since 2008.

Which do you think there are more of? We can have, we can have, we can have calls, calling and address Big Team. Big T, did you just admit that that Sleepy Joe Biden won the election? You did. It sounds like you just did. You got you. Yes.

He won the election at 3 in the morning. Okay. Some of the Republicans are getting some shit for implying that Joe Biden's not going to live through a second term. I actually think that's, it's a conversation worth having. It's the best case scenario for him too. Like you get remembered if you die in office. That's true. Yeah.

He's not running for a second term. You think he's going to bow out? I do too. I think there is going to be a staged event that will, uh, they'll be. like, oh, Joe, that's real unfortunate that you're can't run anymore. Guess we need to go get Gavin Newsom. Well, the

the picture of him on a flight to Ukraine, I think they're going to expel him. His own party's going to cannibalize him and kick him out. What happened on that flight? Just because it I don't know. There's just a picture of him on a flight to Ukraine. Like, back in 2015.

Oh, you're still going with the Hunter Biden thing is going to catch up to him. I mean it's coming out I mean it's it's like now all coming out so I don't is it unusual for a vice president to visit an ally in a very strategic part of the world

against one of our biggest foes that borders it look I mean I don't think he's going to make it I don't think Kamala is going to make it either for to be the next running Democratic nominee so I don't know what they're going to do I don't think I don't think they're going to run Kamala

Yeah Do you think they'll run Kamala? No, it would be dumb It'd be very dumb Yeah So I don't think they're going to run Joe either With any excuse to not run him So

I think they're actually trying to make him unpopular They won't just be like Harris you're going to go be the nominee I don't have an actual I think Gavin News should be hand selected I think he could be Very well could be For sure

I also think the governor of Maryland Would be a good choice Well what's his name? Matthew I mean who's that I don't know of him He doesn't even know him, chaps. How could you get elected?

Governor Matthews from Maryland. I mean, Google governor of Maryland. And that's him. No, but like name, name recognition's big when they're like at first. Yeah, like when you're going out there. But Barack Obama wasn't a household name when he won. Well, his Democratic, uh, when he was at the convention, his speech. Like, you know, like I.

But he wasn't known at all before that. Yeah. Bill Clinton's younger than Joe Biden. That's wild. He could always pull a Roosevelt run for a third term. So is Dan Quill? A lot of people are younger than Joe Biden. He's legit younger than both Trump.

That's like Dan Quayle was the VP of the first Bush? HW, yeah. Holy shit. Baggers. Unbelievable. He's like 72 or something like that. 72 or 74 because he was like 45 when he went into office. You know, I do think that they should open up just nonstop Hunter Biden investigations.

We can find more hilarious stuff out about it. Not just him, but Beau. I mean, I realized that he passed away, but you got to investigate him, too. Is there anything about Bo? No, he's a Navy dude, pretty honorable guy, but yeah, he might as well do it. He was the golden son. Right. It was goofus and Gallup.

Yeah. It was, yeah, Bo and Hunter. But I want to know, I want to see all the pictures of Hunter, smoking crack. I need more of those. I need more of the prostituted stories. I need a couple more dick picks, too. Yeah. Yeah.

The first son's dick. I need that. I could deal with all of them. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if the flight to Ukraine is what's going to be the Democrats. I think, if anything, Billy, they would just say medical issues. It'll just be like he's sick.

And then everybody would believe it. Yeah, of course. I mean, why would you not? Medical issues, he's older than Dan Quail. Yeah. Who's Dan Quill? He was the VP for the first Bush. H.W. Bush.

Here's how much working politics have changed in the last. But isn't that saying something, Billy, that the guy was the vice president 30 years ago when he's younger than the two major parties nominee? Crazy. That is insane. Everyone laughed at him and it kind of made him unreelectable because he didn't know how to spell the word potato. And now look at Twitter from anybody running. Yeah, he was judging like a first grade spelling bee and the word was potato.

And I think the way that it went was the contestant, the first grader, spelled it P-O-T-A-A. T-O-E and Dan Quill was like yes that's correct I probably would have said the same thing and then everyone was like look at this fucking idiot this guy this guy can't be in politics yeah that got him kicked out uh Howard dean's scream got him kicked yes I was just googling who that guy was because like we should run him yeah just have him scream yeah that would be to nothing burger no one would care no one would care I mean that happens 87 times all Ramoswami was rapping to M&M which I feel like in 2016 would have been like a huge thing and like nobody really cared what was he doing he was at the iowa state

fair i think and he uh wrapped um i forget the song but it was an m&m song was it will lose yourself i think so i do i forget but yeah i believe it was and uh and like it wasn't even really a big story so big t i know that you're ramaswami got i am i've been driving the vvac train i went the other day and found my first text about vvac it was in february i was early on this February this year. Correct. Okay. My general impression of Vec during the debate, I did watch the debate.

It's pretty fucking annoying. I disagree. He's just kind of annoying. Gives off nerd vibes. Yeah, like. So he's really intelligent? No, like annoying, annoying nerd. I don't, I think most people disagree with you on that.

He's got a shitty grin. Yeah. You know he's got that whole smudgy. That whole podium was just all kind of losers. I agree. I got to say. Yeah, DeSantis, not it, not him. He's got decidedly not him.

Definitely like not human vibes. The funniest part of the debate was when they asked if they would support Donald Trump if he was the nominee. And then people raised their hands. And then gradually Mike Pence was like, yeah. And Mike Pence cucked himself so bad. Like this guy wanted to kill you. Right.

He wanted to, he wanted to see your body hanging limb. just like two and a half years ago and Mike Pitch was like yeah sure that loser's not going to get anything but Chris Christie loser oh been a huge loser

I can't believe it's running again well not yet still what it's pretty chunky guy still but the thing about Chris Christie was if he was skinny I think I think he would be more unlikable

oh yeah because he's fat and so I always expect something jovial to come out of him something jolly and then he just says stupid shit and he's a bully and everyone's like oh yeah this guy sucks but if he was skinny i think it would be worse i think people would just be like this guy's maybe maybe the last politician on earth i'd go for and you can't be so hardcore like he's so anti-trump now which i get like being super anti-trump but he also you can't act like you were that when he made you eat meatloaf at the white house when you didn't even want meatloaf

i forgot about that yeah he worked for him yeah and big boy over here he'll have the loaf and he's like i don't really like meatloop it doesn't matter you're having the meatloat eat boy yeah everybody else eating ice cream and that gave christie if you got if you got a phupa in this day and age with the with ozempic and all the medical shit that's getting everyone's skinny like come on that's my biggest fear in life is developing a phupa i think is But you could hide a gun. Is it genetic? Because I...

It's how you wear your clothes, though, because, like, fat people can avoid having a fupa if they just wear different clothes. Like, you just have a larger gut. But when you try to put the pants over your gut, then it turns into a fupa. It's like the gun, right? Yeah. I would much rather have, like, a hanging gut than a fupa. Yeah, you got to, you got to know the pants height.

Yeah, I think having a, the right pants placement is key. I would just wear athletic shorts, I think, just like gym shorts all the time. Oh, but then you start risking a fupah falling down and you just, that's a bad look. Yeah. So if it gets a little soggy. It hangs down below your shirt over the belt. Yeah. Then get an apron.

Who would you guys say are the all-time fupa people? I mean, Christy is top tier. That picture of him playing our pitching baseball pants. Like the white baseball pants. That's, I mean, that is the quintessential fupa. It is. So Charlie Weiss had quite the fupa as well. Yeah.

Who was the other coach at Kansas? Mangino. Yeah. Manginas got a mangina. Yeah, that was bad. So the good coach, though, got Kansas, almost to the national championship. What's that, Billy? The scientific term is pinnuculus.

Yeah. An upper pubic region pinoculus can be the result of obesity and mistaken for a tumor or hernia. Yeah. So it can be removed. A phupa? Yeah. Just like liposuction? It can be removed during abdominal.

Pannuclectomy. But that's got to be if you're skinny and you have that condition. That can't be like if you're a fat so and you have it. No, if you Google it. Yeah, an excess of skin and fat. Oh, Jesus Christ, there are some serious pinnucases. Don't Google Pernicus. Some of them dip over and look like, uh,

it can get bad. There's, there's five stages of pinnaculous. How big of a gun could you hide in your Fupa in the fifth stage? In the fifth stage, you could hide, you could, you could hide a whole sniper. A drone. A whole long, a drone in there. Yeah. I got an Amram missile.

I'm looking at pictures of Bill Parcells. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Old pictures. He looked pretty old. He definitely had a Fupa. Yeah, he had a Fupa. Bill Parcells. You got to look.

He lost some weight at there. That's, that's still like, the one you just looked at was like a young Parcells. You got to look like. I'm looking at Patriots. giant stays when he yeah that's all soda that's where soda goes yeah i mean all those like super duper like 500 pound like chaps you're an expert i am yeah 600 pound life yeah yeah isn't it mostly just like high like high sugar intake that just destroys the liver and salt mm-hmm like i don't people my friends at thousand pound sisters they're yeah yeah sure

She said that, well, both of them, they drink about 10, 12 sodies a day. Yeah, no, I mean, if Frank the Tank could start drinking Seltzer over soda, he'd be the size of big tea, I'd say. Wow. I don't know that I like that sense. Actually, Frank the Tank would be a huge accomplishment for Frank. Frank the Tank, we need to celebrate Frank the tank because he's lost a ton of weight. A ton.

Frank is, he's maybe in the best shape of his life. I'd say he's constantly on the move. Since he started, he's got to be down buck 50. At least. Because he, like, even his legs look better. Like he had the hematomas. Yep. Even that is improved a lot.

Great. I mean, he's also eating better because he's making like 15 grand a week on cameo. Yeah. So he's got a lot of things going for him. The 15 grand is not going to health food. It's going to more salt. I disagree. More organic Frank now.

I don't think we're ready for a hot Frank. Oh, wow. Hot boy summer Frank edition. Glow up. Let's say the man, you know, gets washboard out. I don't think we could handle that. Only fans would make his cameo look like nothing. Only Franks.

Yeah, only Franks. What else we want to get in too? I'd subscribe. I don't care how much it was. If Frank was on OnlyFans, I'm watching. Yeah. Well, would you subscribe if he wasn't showing anything? Yeah.

Just to support. Support the homie. Right. Yeah. Do any guys, do any guys at, Barcelona sports have have only fans? Pat does. I used to have a Billy Feetball. And he actually

I think he makes a solid amount. Like he, yeah, he does okay. And he doesn't post anything too risque, but there's definitely dudes out there. How close you got to go? I know he'll post picks of his feet, picks of him in a bathing suit. Yeah, I feel like

guys, if you're into guys, there's no shortage of dudes that will just show you their dick out there. Oh yeah. You don't have to, it's not like woman where it's like you have to work for it so would you do this my friend was in new orleans he was trying to buy some drugs and a guy took him in the back he goes i'll give you this for free you just have to show me your penis for five seconds deal how much was it going to cost it's probably going to be like 50 to a hundred dollars is this friend in the room with us right now no no no he's not that's a

big difference the difference between 50 and 100 is stark all right say if it was 100 bucks you just have to show this guy your penis he doesn't touch it you just have to show it to him for you know maybe five 10 seconds dude i'd want to go there every day like if i could do that every day yeah that's basically that's better than being like a uber eats driver i'd be scared you try to grab it like it's just trying to get you to do it that that is a risk yeah you're sure you can still slap away though right yeah excuse me i'd be like ah a more money don't touch no hundred dollars was a no touching rule. What do you take me for? You're going to need to throw another little 25 spot on that. What else we got to get into before North Korea talk? Billy, what's on your brain? What do you

beat off about? Big T. Did you see the video of the stop oil protesters in Nevada outside Burning Man who just got messed up by reservation police? I have not. Remember you said that you loved seeing the people who sit on roads get like owned? Yes. Well, this one is one for you because reservation police don't have to abide by the Constitution. So they just messed up all these protesters. And it was a very funny video. I'll look into it. Were they just like punching them in the face?

Yeah, it was pretty brutal. I don't know if it was hilarious. Like they ran like damn here ran them over. Well, if you're, I've said if you're blocking traffic though, it's not the worst thing in the world. Traffic to nowhere. The reason it's funny is that they... I can't speak. Is that they didn't know they were on a native reservation.

So they didn't know that they could, you know, peacefully protest legally on that land. So they thought they were like under the U.S. Constitution and then they just got blown up. And it was just like, what the fuck? Is that true that the U.S. Constitution doesn't pertain to native lands? I mean, I think, so when I was reading about it, it was like reservation police don't don't have to abide by certain rules. Like, you know, the same reason why they can have casinos. They're looser, but that, I mean, the constitution is not suspended on reservations.

There's certain rules that are, like, that you don't have, like, taxation doesn't exist. Like, so there's certain things, but a complete throwout, like, if you kill somebody on a reservation, you're still going to a state penitentiary. Yeah. Like, you're, there's, it's not a lawless land. I think it has to do with, like, right to protest and stuff doesn't apply there. we're going to fact check that one of those laws we'll we'll fact check it but for some reason what they did was totally lawful but like if you were going to do your research like if you're going to

block traffic somewhere try to make sure it's not the one place where like you can get messed with yeah hey billy i got a question for you um you had an assignment that you were going to do today i did it i did it okay what was the assignment uh i made the macrodosing uh How do we describe it in the group chat, how Aryan wanted us to describe it? Songs that white people can't help but sing along to. We did that and all the music we listened to. That is out on the macrodosing Spotify. If you go to macrodosing podcast on Spotify, you'll find the podcast playlist.

And I'm halfway through the song, Chevy Wheel, about our time through America. Okay, so you're halfway through it. Okay. Yeah, but I actually am trying to match it up verse for verse with the actual song. Just give me a taste. Give me one of the verses. Okay. Heading down south to the land of Skyline, leaving the boomer hopping on 95,

asking the mayor if he saw Harambe in the sights. That's good. That's a good start. All right. I like it, Billy. We made it through the ice storm in seven-ish hours, pulled into, to a pyramid filled with woods and fish towers. And I'm hoping for Coors Light not to get carjacked tonight.

All right. All right. We're off to a good start. That's really good, Billy. I don't think any word rhymed in the first verse. Yes, it did Skyline 95 and Sight. Line 5. Okay.

If you, if you like put some iteration into there with like some like, you know, sing song acts, you can make it happen. T. Payne rhymed Mansion in Wisconsin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's all how you perform it. They all end with E except sex. That's all you need. Yeah.

All right, good job, Billy. I'm pleasantly surprised. Remember, this was only a 24-hour turnaround. It was, yeah. You can't rush art. That's very true. You guys want to get into North Korea? Yeah.

No, I don't want to go. You don't want to go? I don't want to go into North Korea. I could see you being this, this, I was going to say generations, but this micro-generations Otto Wambler, warm beer, warm beer. RIP. I prefer Fourslight. Yeah.

So where do we want to start? Why don't we start turn of the century, 1900s? This, like, the, the groundwork for the situation on the Korean Peninsula is really found in the Sino-Japanese, War. Sino, yeah. Around 18 Sino. No, it's with an S. Yep.

For some reason, they describe it with an S. Sino, Japanese War. That's like a weird way. What other letter would you use to make that sound? S-I-N-O, representing of China as a, like, that's kind of weird. I see what you're saying. Okay. Yeah.

But in 1898, China and Japan fought over the, those regions in Japan ended up having more influence over Korea, put them on their subjugation for many, many years until the Russo-Japanese War, which was ended by my favorite Teddy Roosevelt, I think 1902. Russia got their ass kicked. Yeah. Oh, but that was actually the last battle in which, you know, the beginning season of, a beginning scene in Troy, where they just have two dudes fight instead of the whole armies fight sort of like a david and golias scenario so a a serbian um sword not a fencer but basically fought a samurai in sword to sword combat to decide who wins the battle i actually got to look this one up because i forgot about this

until now um but when the russo japanese war ended there was influence of the region japan and then took it back over and run up to World War II. World War II ends. Korea is divided like Germany into a Russian and Chinese influence north and a allied capitalist South. And that's sort of where we find the beginning of all this because Kim Songzhou, who had been fighting the Japanese in Manchuria, who was living in China more than he even was in Korea, was sort of chosen as the leader of this new North Korea that's had, you know, communist influences and this guy didn't even speak

Korean. What? So he didn't even speak Korean. The Soviets wrote all of his speeches to that he wrote read out to the rest of the North Korean population because he only knew Chinese. That's something very interesting.

So Kim Jong-un's grandfather is this guy who is a guerrilla fighter against the Japanese. He was raised up by the Soviets. Didn't know Korean. That's fascinating. Yeah. And he really didn't like the Americans being in South Korea, which started the Korean war because he wanted to get all foreign influence out of Korea and just have it be, you know, a fully independent state. Yeah. He was a big cult of personality guy, uh, Saterenite. But South Korea wasn't doing that good of stuff

back then. They were like forcing anyone who they thought were communist sympathizers into re-education camps, anybody in the Communist Party of South Korea into education camps and the South Koreans were like literally slaughtering

a lot of communists at the time. This is one of those things they don't tell you in the rah-rah American War Machine good part. But there was a lot of anti-communists persecution in the south that sort of caused the north to sort of justify you know invading the south and they took over almost the whole peninsula once they got some help from china like at one point south korea and the u.s was just dominating the war they got close to the chinese border and then

china was like sending the dogs they sent in all their troops then we got pushed like all the way back down. Yeah. In the beginning of the war, everyone was pushed down to Pusan. Truman didn't want the domino effect of communism prevailing the region. So the U.S. pushed for a resolution through the U.N. Security Council. The only reason the USSR didn't use their veto was because at the time they were boycotting the Security Council because the communist government of China was not allowed to have a seat. But Taiwan, the nationalist government that fled China, we spoke about this last episode, had a seat, the Security Council, whereas the actual in-charge Communist Party did not. So this was sort of a perfect storm for the U.S. to make the U.N. Security Council

allowed them to deploy U.S. troops into Korea. And the first guys to show up kind of got their shit rocked. The Task Force Smith U.S. troops who first got deployed, they were a bunch of under-trained younger guys who had maybe only been trained for eight months. They were sent in with World War II era weapons and they just got

stormed by the North Korean troops who were going in with tanks. They only had six anti-tank grenades to take them out. And they just got blown past. They suffered almost 50% casualties. And the Koreans were like winning the

North Koreans were winning the first part, but then the U.S. were able to push them back to the Chinese border, as we talked about, until China sent quarter of a million troops. Now, a lot of the accounts from U.S. soldiers in the Korean War were a lot of the inspiration for zombie movies because just the hordes of people coming after U.S. positions, like inspired, like a lot of like the hordes of zombies because they just threw people at them. Would you say that the Korean War was, that's like a forgotten war in U.S. history? Easily. And I think it's one of the most brutal wars

in American history too. Like some of the things that you see, if you talk to old Korean war veterans, it is chilling. Like the people that were in the chosen reservoir, the chosen frozen with Chesdy Puller who I have tattooed on my arm is the most famous Marine I would say five Navy crosses.

Like that's the medal just below the Medal of Honor got it five times, which is insane. They would have to go out because it was so cold whenever they were fighting this big frontal assault. They would, in order to survive, they had to do two things. One, you have to eat and two, you have to practice to kill people. They would do it at the same exact time. Because their rations were so frozen, they would set them up on fence posts and they would shoot the rations because they didn't have enough dry wood to create fire.

So they would go out and have to shoot the rations and then they would put that in their mouth and wait for it to dry. They also had their gloves, their shooting gloves at the time because they were for World War II, which was only like 14 years before, they had, they would have, they would cut one finger out so that they could have a trigger finger exposed. That finger would get frostbite. They would cut it off and have their middle finger be their next trigger finger. Some guys, so if you see Korean war veterans come back and they're missing fingers, it's because

they cut them off themselves. Holy shit. I think the Korean War gets, because Vietnam was like right on the heels of it, you know, 10, 15 years later. Same gap from World War II to Korea. Right. So that one gets kind of forgotten about because we talk about Vietnam so much. And the war fatigue, like, and I think we're experiencing that now in the country with the war fatigue after World War II, people didn't want to sign up. Yeah.

They didn't want to go. And you'll have that now. Like if we had another widespread conflict, one, because of the political divisiveness. I don't know if we'd have enough volunteers to do what we need to, unless there was a huge strike, like on 9-11 again. If there was just another adversary like Korea who really didn't do anything to mainland America, we'd have the same exact result as we did because people are just tired of it. Yeah, I mean, we just got out of World War II, what, five years before the Korean War started?

No wonder they didn't have, like, well-trained troops. If you just got done fighting in World War II and then five years later, you just got done like it was the war to end all wars. actually we got to go back over there so gonna need you back in training camp soon fuck that and that gap seems small like it seems big right in your memory because you think World War II Korea

and then Vietnam it seems like a lot longer than that five or six years but the technology wasn't that old like it really wasn't like the things that they were fighting with it just wasn't good comparatively but the other countries were innovated why we were fighting yeah

And the Korean War is still not over. Yeah, good point. It was never ended. They just called a ceasefire. It's the last declared war, too. Did they like finally end it in the past year? Yeah, they did. I think it was like six weeks ago.

Right? I think it was like six weeks ago. Holy shit. Did we win? Yeah, we won. Let's go. Back on the winning side, baby. I love it.

They had to wait and see like, all right, which country's going to turn out better, north or south? And now they can finally say, yep, you guys won. maybe that's the reason why that one army kid that recently defected and went over there yeah what was the story with that guy so he got in trouble for assault um in south koreen he was going to go to jail for a while but they came up because there's whenever you're in a different country on orders there's a status of forces agreement a self agreement so a lot of times the country that is the host country will allow you to go back so you don't have to stay in their prison and when you don't it's actually kind of a weird thing. Like there's a case going on right now in Japan where there's a Navy

lieutenant who was trying to come home and they won't let him come home because he assaulted a or he got into a wreck and it killed somebody in Japan so they won't let him leave. So this guy was supposed to come back to the United States and face punishment from the U.S. government for what he did there under the UCMJ, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is the governing laws of military members overseas and domestic. So he was going to go back to face that punishment. And in order to not do that, he decided instead of going to a brig for 30 days in America, it would be a better idea to run across the DMZ and go into North Korea. Bad idea. Horrible idea. And they're not even, they haven't, as far as I know, even up to

today, they haven't even responded about from U.S. inquiries about how he's doing or anything like that they just act like it doesn't didn't happen would you rather do 30 days in a north korean prison or two years in an american prison 30 years i think uh what american prison uh let's say um sing sing is that's that's still open oh no no but you're so you're like a maximum security edx florence that's our worst is adx florence have you guys ever done an episode on adx florence which which one is that is that the alcatraz the rockers yes Yeah. I would love to be on an episode about that.

I've read so much shit about it. It's fascinating. I would go to North Korea a million times out of a million before I went to ADX. That's where the Unabomber is. That's where the Unabomber is. El Chapo is there. The Boston bomber is there. Like basically the who's who of the worst people in American society are at ADX Florence.

If you're a corrections officer at ADX Florence and you deal with like the worst people ever, do you go home and you just like hate humans. You don't work with them though. Like they are legitimately caged animals. Like they're they stay in a six by six cage. The only thing that's inside of it is a mattress that's about a quarter of an inch thick to half an inch thick on concrete. They have a concrete toilet. They have a and that's it. It's a concrete toilet, a concrete bed and that's it. And they don't get to go outside. They're able to leave their cells 15 minutes a week. They have the ability to shoot you on site if you try to touch one of the guards if you try to speak to them if you try to speak to a guard or a nurse or touch them or anything like that you go into a deeper hole that's only like

three three by three area it's a human it's a there's guys in there now the shoe bomber is there richard reed yeah and his his attorneys have said that he has begged and pleaded to go back to guantanamo bay holy shit wow no there's one thing that i liked about that though that's kind of awesome. One thing I like about that is the concrete toilet. That thing could take a beating. Oh, yeah. I would actually not mind shitting into my own personal concrete toilet. Yeah. That thing's never getting club. We should talk about ADX Florence one time. Okay. I'm down for that. Yeah. I was going to ask, when you ask that, though, I was going to say, what is the minimum length of time, or I guess what is the maximum length of time you could be sentenced to in an American prison where you'd be like North Korea might be a better option.

I mean, I think it depends on the prison, for sure. Let's say a medium secure, your run-of-the-mill priz. Which one would I rather do? I think it would be a year to a month. I think that would be my ratio, a year to a month. Meaning, no, I'm not saying, is he going to go to jail in North Korea? It depends. If he comes out and makes a bunch of videos, like they're...

So that's what I'm saying. Like, I'm saying rather than go to prison in America, you go to North Korea and, like, just live, basically. For the rest of your life. I mean, if you, there, I could see on the North Korean side, if you have a uniform troop that ran across to be there, oh, they did release one statement. They said that he did it because he was tired of the racial and justices in America and the social system in America is no longer supporting people like him. So that's the reason why he wanted to go to North Korea for a more fair. shot. So I think if he made videos like that that they could use his propaganda, he might be treated decently. Yeah, I could definitely see that. It's like some of those folks that were in

Hanoi, like at the Hanoi Hilton, where they were more willing to make videos. So they were more, they were treated more fairly. Like there was a, I had a guy on zero block 30 a couple months ago. I've actually had two that were in at the same time as John McCain. One of them was the of John McCain like right next door and he was in Hanoi for six and a half years and he talked a little bit about that yeah I think that would be the way to go just be like I will be a mouthpiece use me yeah and everybody's like oh songberg McCain well first of all he didn't do that like the things that McCain did you guys know that they suspended McCain from the air by hooks like in his back I did not know that suspended him and they would right before he would

die, they would take them back down and then do it again. Yeah, that's the thing. I feel like... And then people call him Songbird. It's just so unbelievably messed up. If you go to prison in North Korea, I feel like that's what they would do. They would just get you as close to dying as possible without dying. As an enemy for sure. They returned Otto Warmbier. He was only in jail for like a couple months and then they returned him to the U.S. in a coma. And it's like, what did you do to this kid to put him in a coma? That's why I rather do U.S. prison for two years because I know that there's dudes who survived prison, I don't know many Americans who have survived North Korean work camps. That's why I rather do. Yeah, yeah. I think it just really depends

on how you were captured too. Like this kid, he might, if he does the propaganda video, he could be treated decently well. I kind of doubt that would happen, like that he would be treated well. But the situation around it is just so extraordinary if somebody doing that. Now, so he was he was not the first one to do it back in 1962 about like seven americans defected to north korea one of them because he was caught smoking weed while on duty in south korea and just didn't want to face the punishment for that so then ran to north korea the other guy he did it because he was quote i was fed up with my childhood my marriage my military life everything that sounds there's only one place to go that's called PTSD to me that sounds like marriage he's like i'm going to make a lot

of excuses, but I would rather be in North Korea than stay in my marriage. Yes. But these guys, they became famous in North Korea for playing evil Americans in a 20-part film series called Nameless Heroes. 20 parts. That's like the original Fast and Period. Yeah. It's wild.

And then one of them, yeah, lived in North Korea for the rest of his life. He told someone, he goes, I wouldn't leave North Korea if you put a billion damn dollars of gold on the table. And the hilarious thing is he ended up. marrying a woman from Romania in North Korea that he had tricked into traveling there. So he had like said something like, hey, just come out for like a week, visit me in North Korea. And then when she arrived, he was like, you can never leave and you're now my wife. That's kind of like, have you guys ever seen the cinematic adventure called Not Without My

Daughter? What's that from? I think Susan Sarandon is in it or one of those people. It looks like Susan Sarandon. Yeah, it's ringing a bell for me. Where they go, I think it's Iran. They go to Iran and they're going on like a little family vacation and then they're trying to go back and the guy's like, you're not going anywhere. And then he lets her leave and she's, but not with the kid. And she's like, I'm not leaving, not without my daughter.

It's fantastic. Sounds awesome. Yeah. Sounds great. So after the Korean War ends six months ago, six weeks ago? Yes. No, but after the armistice, this is called. What happens next, Billy?

Oh, well, going back to the end of the war, Eisenhower was the one who there was a Truman, MacArthur kind of went nuts when they started to lose and they lost back the whole peninsula. He wanted to nuke the entire peninsula, right? He was like, yo, Truman, let's nuke this shit. Like, why aren't we using our nukes? Let's not like keep taking else. Let's like. And then Truman was like, you're an insubordination.

We're putting Eisenhower. Eisenhower became president. um in his first order of business was to stop the containment strategy and just fight to the 38th parallel and uh that's where we've been till we ended the war a couple weeks ago um but there was three million civilian deaths uh due to the war and it is kind of one of the forgotten wars we've spoken about between vietnam that got a lot of the press um and world war two that got a lot of be infamy as they'll say both of my grandfathers fought in it and near them would say a word about it the whole time I knew them to my parents either so it's one of those ones where the media

wasn't there that vietnam had and it wasn't you know the shining star of u.s. excellence that world war two was and then the guys who came back none of them really spoke about it so it's kind of one of those wars that we you know doesn't have like much of the spotlight is we think. But what's really interesting is that it was an absolute proxy war between us and the Soviets. There was even Soviet pilots dog fighting and China. There's Soviet pilots dog fighting with U.S. pilots, but they were in Chinese marked planes in Chinese jumpsuits, but they were Soviet pilots. So there was Russians fighting directly against the U.S. in the air. What kind of plans were there?

Beats me, but I think there was a U.S. Tomcats. There were probably some Migs. There were not Tom cats. No, definitely not. Learned playing. I don't know. I don't know. You should know.

What Tom, a Tomcat in 1950? A hellcat? I don't know. A spitfire? Do you know what the Tomcat is? You don't even know what Tom cat did? Okay. I'm going to look it up.

Okay. U.S. Important fact. Also, we need to give President Biden a little shot out. Not many people. people can say that they ended the two longest wars in American history. That's true. Holy shit.

That's true. Great job, Joe. I thought you were going to be like he fought in the Korean War. He probably did. His son did. Chaps, a little plane aside here. With the U.S. sending and NATO sending F-16s to Ukraine, how does that change the scope of the air-to-air combat over there?

I've got my own thoughts, but I was wondering if you had yours. I think it changes it a lot, like just based on the capabilities of the planes. but I also don't understand why they waited so long. I feel like that was, if you're going to assist and send billions of dollars, do you think Russia is really going to be like, well, they gave them damn near a trillion dollars, but now that they have these F-16s, now we're really pissed. Yeah, the F-16 should have been like the first thing. Right.

That got sent over there. Like their artillery and anti-aircraft rounds and anti-personnel rounds, like all that kind of stuff, decimated so many of the Russians. Yeah. they I mean obviously they're not in the position without our weapons this is a huge proxy war too yeah it really is it'll just be interesting to see if uh the electronic warfare components of the f-16 like data link if that can stand up against the alleged stealth capabilities of the su 57 which many people are saying way overblown stealth capabilities i need to bring you on zvt

as our plane expert you know infinitely more about planes than i did well he didn't know the difference putting an F-16 and an 18, but he knows a lot. He knows a lot. That's why I'm going down this tangent so I can just, I can flex my plane knowledge and get back at all the guys that say, I don't know plane. Yeah, but it'll be interesting to see. I think that the F-16s are, they're a beast, man, they're beasts. F-16s, F-15s, that's, those are the workhorses.

When you see planes coming overhead and they're on your side and you know the other side doesn't have nearly as many, it is the biggest morale boost when you're on a battlefield ever. Yeah. Like it is absolute, like when. an A10 starts coming and you hear like your platoon leader of platoons are and whoever saying A10s are inbound you're like you motherfuckers are about to pay you made a mistake you're not they're going to have to identify you by pieces of your clothing hell yeah I mean that's what it is

like you do battle damage assessment and you go out after an A10 gun run you're looking for pieces of clothing you're not looking for pieces of people chaps did you ever see any enemy uh planes Like, they don't have them. Did, yeah, did Saddam have any planes? Yeah, they had, they had planes at the time, but that was shock and all, took care of basically all of that. Shot them before they even got off the ground, right? Mm-hmm. And also, we dominated the, uh, the Iraqi Air Force in the first Gulf War.

So Saddam knew that, like, he couldn't stand up to us. That was awesome. Didn't take long at all. That's some of my most vivid memories as a kid is watching those, the explosions. underneath like the night vision goggles on CNN or whatever. I'm being like, oh my God. Yeah, we're doing the damn thing. All right.

So, Billy, back to the end of the Korean War. Yeah, and Eisenhower ended it and basically gave his exiting speech out of office about the military industrial complex. And, you know, then from there, the first Kim Song was still in power until he died. and then Kim Jong-il came into power. This guy's father. He was the first one that was looked at as a god, right? They thought he was God.

No, the one who founded North Korea was seen as a god. He was the first personality. But wasn't that after? Like wasn't that kind of post-mortem? That wasn't like while he was alive. It was after, right? Yeah, maybe post-mortem. They were like, okay, like this guy was a god.

but now you also have to acknowledge his son as like a living guy. I think I'm not positive, but I think that's how it went down. I could see that. I know that like his father, the founder of North Korea is celebrated way more than he is. Right. Because I think North Korea, I know it was never a great place to live, but it started going real downhill with Kim Jong-il, his son. Because he started focusing only on the military and that's which like that's what led to

North Koreans not having enough food, not having jobs. Because he's the one that made it a lot more of the hermit nation, right? Like completely cut it off from the rest of the world. Yeah, because I think his dad at least had solid relationships with Moscow, China and stuff. And then his dad, like, really started to cut ties to the point where North Korea was their own, like, they had zero friends. That's sad. I know. I know.

I know. I mean, that's the song in Team America World Police. I'm so wrong ring I'm sure he was very long Kim Il-sung Kim Il-sung died in 1994 Yep I did not know that

Kim that's Kim his son right And then we had Kim Jong Il Yeah And then Kim Jong-un The OG guy died in 94 Yes Okay

Yeah and he was in power So Kim Jong-il only came to power in 94 when his dad died right yeah yeah so um one of the things i learned about north korea reading escape from camp 14 which is a phenomenal book some of it has been walked back recently it's about a survivor of uh prison right is that her yomi pack it is let's see what's this guy's name here the jo rogan guest no i know i know i read her book okay i haven't read that shin don't they got debunk too okay chap said she's full of shit

uh yeah i've been seeing a lot of that online well this guy he claimed that he spent a lot of time in North Korean prison, escaped. And he told a lot of the story, but he also left a lot of stuff out. Like apparently he escaped to China early in his life, came back, went back into a prison system. Both his parents were executed. And I guess he lied about how he was tortured because he was tortured a lot worse than what he said was in the book. So his lies are kind of spread out all over the map. But you got to give this guy like a little bit of leeway because he's been psychologically tortured his entire life. But a lot of the stuff that says has been confirmed. I remember reading about how North Korea made their money in that book

because you got to imagine like, okay, they don't have a robust agricultural system. What they do make goes mostly to their military and yeah, they trade some of it and they make some money that way. But the majority of money coming into North Korea, at least since like the 90s, was made via insurance scams. So insurance fraud. What they would do would be they would they would have a giant factory and they would get Lloyds of London or another international insurance agency to come in and insure the factory for let's say 300 million dollars and the factory probably wasn't worth that much but it was like kind of ballpark if it had been running at full capacity and so Lloyds would insure it and then North Korea would make up a fake fire and say sorry

the entire factory was destroyed we need all the insurance money for it you owe us 300 million bucks, Lloyds of London would try to send in their investigators, but North Korea would be like, hey, we're a hermit kingdom over here. We don't let people in all the time. Or they would make it so miserable for the inspectors that did come in that they weren't able to do their jobs correctly. And eventually, the insurance companies would just kind of give up on it and give them a portion of the total settlement to just kind of go away and shut up. And so they did this. They repeated the scheme over and over and over again. They made a shitload of money until they became just completely uninsurable as a nation. So no one.

will insure anything anymore, but that was their main source of revenue for long. I feel like they got to know that. Like, yeah, it takes once, right? Like, yeah. After that, you're like, no way, man. Yeah, at some point, you got to, it's their fault for continuing to do it. Is that still a lot of drugs? Is that what?

So you know how they were talking about the U.S. getting their AAA credit rating taken away? Mm-hmm. Is that the same credit rating that they used as like North Korea has the worst? So like don't insure anything. That's more about like repaying your debts or at least like paying off the interest on your debts that you agreed on. With North Korea was more about they were just committing massive, massive insurance fraud at a scale that the globe has never seen before. And yet, Donnie, to your point, they got into drugs too.

Yeah, they were selling a lot of drugs to make money. And then I think just meth is very popular there like for the population. Because if you don't have a lot of food, you take meth and then you're not hungry. Yeah. It's all gravy. Yeah, and to that point, the average size of a North Korean person has gone, like, just way, way, way down over the last, like, 40 years. Like, I think most men are, like, 5-1, 5-2. Really?

Yeah. People in South Korea are, like, five inches taller or something on average or, like, four. I think, like, so South Korea. That's a really interesting study on microevolution, right? Yeah. I mean, South Korea really took off in, like, the 80s, like, their economy started to boom. and then that's when like now there's just people always talk about reunification but now it's like how would that work like one country is just so much more advanced than the other yeah i mean

technology wise everything yeah like they're like two different species of humans at this point i have to imagine because you're not allowed to have any outside media in north korea at all it's strictly forbidden you can only listen to like state radio you can only watch state tv that one woman that one woman that's everywhere. You can only watch movies that they produce in North Korea. And I imagine that there's a significant underground market of like USB drives that are being passed around via people's but holes. Oh, dude, yeah. Like there's so many articles about that of not just that, but how they'll float it down rivers, drones that are huge getting information in, which is one of the reasons why they're starting to not be as hermody as they used to be able to because technology and

the way that people can get information in is so different. Now you can go on the China border and have somebody with a drone drop things over the cross and then you could get it. You couldn't have done that in years past. Now it's easy. What piece of American media do you think we could send to North Korea like secretly that would blow the most people's minds? Alex Jones. Yeah.

In a second. Man versus food. Oh my God. 600,000 found watch. Man versus food would actually make them be like, you know what? dear leader is correct like fuck these people yeah that's what i was going to say like they tell them that everyone in america lives in like five million dollar houses and like they all have all that man versus food would probably turn them more to the north korean side yeah that would if kim jong un is smart

he would just he would distribute man versus just play tlc on loop yeah real housewives yeah uh-huh right now if they got i think we could end we could make world peace as far as north kore goes if we send them a copy of one NFL game. If we send them the Kansas City Chiefs Rams game from Monday night like two years ago was that like 51 45?

Yeah, that was the double game years ago but the color rush game It might have been color rush, yeah. That was like, I was in college. That was like 2018. Yeah.

Yeah, if we sent that over to them, they'd be like, I think we got to break them in a little. They would be far too confused. Send them some like 1970s tape of football, break them in a little, and then maybe jump. So they get the context. It would actually be cool if we sent them some older football and then watch them

relive all of our takes about football, you know, just like 30 years later. Like in 20 years, they'll be like, they're taking the passing, you know, taking passing too seriously, taking the run game out. When are we going to start paying running backs? Right. Like I've watched football with people that have never seen the sport before. And like even by the end of the game, they have. no idea what's going on.

It is confusing. There's so many rules. That's how I feel about cricket, though. Yeah. Yeah, cricket's very confusing to watch. One thing they were doing at the border when I visited, I was in South Korea for their winter Olympics back in like 2018, they blast K-pop music, like over to the North Korean side just to like try to, because they don't listen.

The only music they can listen to are like state-approved songs. And they're just trying to like, I don't know, be like, come over here. We have these, like, sick pop tunes. That would be amazing to just get, like, go to that huge-ass stadium because the biggest stadium in the world's in North Korea, too. Like, fill that bad boy up and then just crank Freebird. See what they thought. That'd be amazing.

Or have, like, USC versus Ohio State in North Korea. Yeah. Instead of going to, what's that NASCAR track that they go to? Bristol, yeah. Instead of Virginia Tech playing there, they go over to Pyongyang. Actually, how did this happen? Italy lost to North Korea in soccer back in, like, the 60s. Huh.

Like, a great stain on the country of Italy. Yeah, I mean, that's insane. Italy's been playing soccer for, like, 1,000 years. I don't know. Well, we talked about it in the WWE episode that we did, but there was a WWE match over there where they, like, monitored all the wrestlers, hotel room phones and shit.

And I think they performed in front of like 200,000 people. Yeah, because that stadium's enormous. Yeah, it was like a legendary match. It was a... Are you looking it up, Big T? Yeah, this says the stadium was originally built with a capacity of 150,000. It looks like it's 114 now. What do they do there?

I have no idea. They probably have state... Parades and stuff. Yeah. Show off the tanks and missiles and stuff. Yeah, that you walk to with a gun in your back? I'm going to say something controversial. I think that I think they're on to something there.

I think we should do more parades. where we just like drive our nuclear weapons through the streets. And American military parade would be unreal. Trump wanted to. That was Trump's idea. Yeah. They had it set up. It was France.

It was France's idea, right? D.C. was like the Pentagon and the D.C. actual, like, city were like, please don't, you will destroy our roads forever. And they absolutely would. Like, having tanks rolled down blacktop, it's not blacktop anymore. Like, that just turns to dirt. Yeah, his idea, I think he went over to France for Bastille Day. Yeah.

And was super impressed by the parade. Which is a pretty good parade. Yeah. If you've ever, if you ever had a chance to go over there. Well, wasn't that the 75th party too? Oh, it might have been. Yeah. Might have been a big celebration with the World War II.

Yeah. I don't know if we should say 75th party, but it was, yeah. Celebrate remembrance. Yeah, remember event. Something. But then, yeah, he wanted to have in DC. I would be, I would be on board for that just to watch it one time. I got to be honest.

I feel like I'm the core audience for Trump's military parade. And as awesome as it would be, I would be a bit unnerved. Just by watching the tanks and nukes roll through our streets, I'd be like, you know, maybe we don't. It would be the DARFA inventions that really messed you up when you see that we could kill people with laser beams from across like the sea. Okay, I do want to see that. Me too. I watched a dude on TikTok the other day used that same kind of weapon, but smaller, he like shrunk out down the same technology and cuts his grass with it. So he created like he's unnecessarily dangerous to mow your lawn.

he's got a perfectly level yard because it just goes around he puts it right in the middle sets it up and the laser goes around and it stops at wood like wood stops it but the grass is just cooked that's actually kind of cool yeah imagine coming over that i don't think many things impresses the ladies but if you're like look i got lasers yeah if you don't have to mow your lawn you just press the button to the power move yeah um yeah pretty close to of that. I don't know if it's that actually won, but yeah. You can see it's working there. That's crazy. There was a video of Kim Jong-un in a similar like parade type thing, but he was in like an action movie hype up for one of his missile launches and it's one of the funniest things

ever he stars. And I just sent it to the group. It's definitely worth the watch. If you just look up King Jong-un stars and film of missile launch on North Korean TV, it looks like an action film. If we want to take two seconds to watch it, the one where he would, because. Does he come in on the white horses? Is that the one where he's on the all white horse? No. There's one like propaganda film where he's on all white horse, like Arabian white horses.

I sometimes watch like non-Western leader, like hype up videos because they're so ridiculously funny. Like the Chechen dude who just like shooting. Oh, Chechens are the scariest people on earth. Yep. The, uh, what's his name? Kurt, like Putin's dog, they call him. Putin's lap dog.

He's like shooting two machine guns at once, like actually doing action movies. Yeah. But he was the funniest thing ever. But I've watched this video right now. It is pretty solid. He's rocking like a black leather jacket. It looks like Steven Seagall. They're rolling out a giant nuclear weapon.

These guys generals around him. It's a well-produced film. My favorite picture of Kim Jong-un is when he's looking at petroleum jelly and it like blows his fucking mind. you know which one i'm talking about don't where he's like whoa it's like a 55 gallon drum of it yeah he's just amazed he's just like holy fuck and we got oranges too this is wild uh donnie you you have some friends that have some firsthand experience in north korea right yes i do um one thing i wanted to touch on briefly before that is uh north korean kidnappings yeah yeah so like

in the 1970s, just random Japanese citizens on the coast were disappearing and nobody knew what was happening. Some people were like, I think North Korea is kidnapping them. And then finally Japan was just like, that's a conspiracy theory. That's not what's happening. And then in like in 2002, the Japanese prime minister visited North Korea to kind of sign some sort of like peace deal to like de-escalate their relationship or to improve their relationship and that's when North Korea told them they admitted they're like yeah we actually have kidnapped at least 13 Japanese citizens over the last 20 years and they thought they're like well now that we're kind of like turning a new leaf we should be completely honest this will help

like our relationship to show that we're not bullshit in them anymore and it completely backfired Japan was like hold up you've been fucking kidnapping our citizens that's so fucked up threw away the deal and now they're back to hating each other See, I feel like you got to let it go I feel like if you're at the treaty and it's only 13 people I mean only is still a lot

But they only admitted to 13 But I think there's more So they were just like You're kidnapping has got to be beers North Korean boats would just patrol Japanese waters And if they found some dude like walk in the beach Kidnap them

And then either like use those people To teach their citizens Japanese I don't know but Japan was outraged when they found out and they haven't only kidnapped Japanese people they kidnapped one of the most famous South Korean actresses back in the day

and then forced her to act in North Korean movies from she was there from like yeah in 1978 she was kidnapped and then she finally made it out when she was in Vienna ran to the U.S. embassy and that was in 1986. So for a good 10 years, she was just pumping out North Korean movies. Those movies sound terrible. They're probably really bad. So it's funny because Kim Jong-il was the one that set that up. It was the propaganda and agitation department that he set up in

1966. Shut out the pad. That sounds awesome. So he loved international films. He loved South Korean films, which is weird because you would think that he would absolutely despise it. But yeah, he had a real hard on for this actress and her husband, who is a director. And so he kidnapped both of them, put them together and was like, now you make movies for me. I want to know what the scriptwriters are like in North Korea. How much experience they have to draw on. Yeah, I know first he kidnapped the wife and then the husband like went to Hong Kong trying to find her and then they kidnapped the husband. Yeah.

So boom, they got a director and an actress. That's all you need to make some good movies. Yep. And now, yeah. Oh, were you going to... Of a family member of the Royal, a Kim Eel family member who got caught going to Disneyland in Japan. He, like, tried to smuggle himself out to go to Disneyland.

Was that not Kim Jong-un? I think he loves Disney. It may have been, but it... The brother that got killed in the airport? Yeah, with a little swab a nerve guy. I don't but I do think it was someone close to Kim Jong-un and I think he made because he went to school in like London or somewhere right Switzerland maybe yeah it was somewhere in Europe and he I think he he loves the Bulls uh-huh and he I think he really loves Disney yeah that's why Dennis Rodman went over to talk

yeah because it's like he will respect yeah he's like a huge Bulls fan yeah it's very funny so Kim Jong-un might be a fan but it was his brother his half-brother Kim Jong-nam lost everything for trying to get to Disneyland. I've been there. Is that maybe why they killed him? Because they knew he was sneaking out to Disneyland? Yeah. So Kim Jong-un,

as a little boy, Kim Jong-un secretly visited Disneyland with his secret group of officials and was at Tokyo Disneyland for a full week before leaving. Under a false identity, Kim Jong-un sneak past all security at eight years old, leaving some fans to wonder

if the North Korean dictator ever went back to do the same thing. Okay, so Kim Jong-un went to Disneyland, but 10 years later, King Jong-Nam wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland and devised a plan to take his sun down to see the happiest place on Earth. And then he got caught, and it's also the reason he was killed. Wow. And he was killed by some, like, cute-looking chick wearing a hilarious shirt. I forget what the shirt said. Yeah, we talked about it on Tuesday show a little bit. She was an aspiring actress, and they hired her and they said, we're doing prank videos.

And so they told her, they told her it was a prank, you got to go and swab this guy's neck. And she did it. And yeah, he died shortly thereafter. Okay. She should have got the job, though, right? Like she did what she was supposed to do. Great job. Yeah. Fantastic. Great plan, too. Then they killed her, I think, too. I'm sure. Yeah. One more conspiracy theory for you guys, because this hasn't been confirmed yet. But David Lewis Sneddon, an American guy, who disappeared in 2004, hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge in China. I've done that. hike. It's beautiful. And there started being rumors that he may have been kidnapped by the North Koreans because they wanted to make him the personal English tutor for Kim Jong-un. We still have not found the body. No one knows what's happened to this kid. But there's a lot of people out there that think, yeah, he's been in North Korea ever since, just teaching the royal

family English. So there is an element of rules for the not. for me probably the again the hypocrisy is the worst part about North Korea yeah but like all the all the people in leadership over there they like certain Western things they like Western food they like Western art pop culture you think there's anybody in North Korea right now that listens to Barstool podcasts like are there any like huge pizza review or which podcast do you think a pizza review might be it what Barstool podcast do you think would really appeal out and about yeah just stuff that they don't know anything about chicks in the office mean girls Brianna chicken fries

there's huge chicken fry heads over there chaps i could imagine some of their military like intelligence operatives who wanted to get immersed with u.s military culture may have gandered zero block 30 i think oh i completely doubt that no i don't think so no i understand what you're saying i appreciate it but they would they would not enjoy because we talk shit about them a lot yeah i don't know where they i want to know where they get all their medals from they do have a lot of metals they have so many medals and shout out to President Trump for saluting the North Korea in general. That was quite a move. He didn't know what it meant.

He was just like, hi. Yeah, he's standing there with him. He just pulls out the old salute. Yeah, I think there's probably some people in North Korea that listen to Barstool. If you listen to, I think so like Qatar, some of the people like who are part of the Qatar elites, they were like, yeah, we're fans of Barstool. Yeah. That was very funny. It was after the soccer game we went to and we were outside the stadium. And then all these guys and the white thobes and the cafeas, I don't know how you pronounce it. But it was the Qatari national, like, what was it? Like not outfit, but, you know, it's what you wear if you're a Qatari citizen. Traditional garb. Traditional garb if you're in the government. And then they came up and we got our picture taken. And then we looked at the picture afterwards. And somebody pointed out, they're like, oh, yeah, that's the former Qatari ambassador to the United States right there in this picture.

go bar stool i wonder if they're pissed dogs you can probably get away with it in the thobe right yeah i don't think so because your underwear's not making contact but if it's white yeah next thing you know you have your dick out and i think they frown upon that it's true the instagram page is probably really popular in north korea yeah i could definitely see them being pizza guys too yeah um maybe glennie burger reviews too yeah i mean he fucking kim jangoon loves cheese so much that he now walks of a limp That was the headline. Yeah, he's got gout big time, right? Yeah, I assume.

Can you get gout from cheese? Apparently, Gouda's his favorite cheese, and he just, like, sits in his room pounding Gouda all day. I've always heard that Gouda is a gateway digout. Yep. So, yeah, Donnie, tell us about some of your friends over there. Yeah, so I have two friends that have traveled to North Korea. One of them has been there twice to run the Pyongyang half marathon.

And yeah, you're not like... God, why? I don't know. I think the first time he did it just to say he has been to North Korea and ran a half marathon there. You are, you travel with like a North Korean minder the whole time. She's the only North Korean you're allowed to talk to is your guide. They say like no photos the whole time, but there might be like a couple opportunities.

like whenever you're driving around they say do not take any photos out of the car i think you're they probably take you to a monument and then they're like okay you can take a photo of this monument um just things that you've already seen a million times from yeah yeah yeah or whatever um overall i think he had a pretty decent time i mean i was even thinking of doing this but that was before auto warm beer then after that whole thing i was like i couldn't go and if i went my family would like to sell me they'd be they would just be so pissed i was willing to like take that sort of risk yeah um seems fair yeah no that like after otter warm beer that seems completely fair um yeah the the the half marathon is just a trick to get foreigners to come and it just turned

into a death march halfway through and you just ended it at prison camp well that would be something sick that would be hilarious yeah my big issue with doing the half marathon if you're going to go to Pyongyang to do a marathon run a fucking marathon do the full 26 right get the sticker that you can put on the back of your car don't come back with a 13.3 or be an iron man don't be a pussy yeah yeah he did say the cool thing is the marathon starts and ends in that giant stadium that they have so you you like walk into the stadium it's just packed of north koreans is that where they do their military things at is that that huge stadium it's got to be right? What other reason would they possibly have to have it? Yeah, I don't know. It looked like on the

Wikipedia page, like this looks like kind of a, you know, some sort of national celebration. Yeah. Oh, that's 100 years, I guess. Okay. And then the other guy note there, he was the first DJ to play a show in North Korea. He wrote an article for Vice that you guys can read, but he also just sent like a voice memo to me, um, recapping his experience and like, four minutes. I can play it and then you guys can choose if you want to use the whole thing. Yeah, let's listen. Okay. What's up everyone? This is DJ Bo. No stops all caps. No brags. Just facts. Shanghai. Okay. So he's now DJ Bo, I guess. When I knew him, he was DJBO. But I guess he rebranded. Took the period out. Yeah, yeah.

Number two, DJ. And I've had a chance to travel all around the world in DJ. I've DJed in 29 countries, including 43 cities, where I'm based at in China. But the place that I am asked about most is North Korea. It's been a couple years, but I understand. You know, since then, I've had the opportunity to DJ in some very exciting places like East Timor and Bangladesh a couple of times in Punei. And recently I just did the first ever rooftop party in the old town area of Lhasa Tibet. So DJing Tibet was really special. But North Korea is where I get asked about the most.

And I understand because that's why I did it because it was interesting and exciting. So here is the story. There are tour companies that do go to North Korea. Right now, it seems that they are not allowed because when COVID happened, North Korea really shut down hard. Safety first. There's signs that things might open up again. But for many years, you could visit North Korea. You just have

to do it with a tour. And it was very expensive. One of those tour companies, I don't know if it's still even technically in operation at all, but one of the two big ones is called choreotours. And in short, I did a favor for

one of the directors of choreotours. And I said, he wanted to pay me for it and I said no I want to DJ North Korea he said no I said no yeah I really wanted DJ North Korea he said no I said come on man let's do it he said okay wait let's think about it I went through a couple different iterations it was going to be at an embassy at one point there were different ideas thrown around one that we settled on was that there's one kind of main hotel where all the foreigners stay in Pyongyang next to it there was a hotel that

that was more focused on North Korean nationals. And in that hotel, there's a big basement area that's used for, like, big room karaoke, like people in Asia would be familiar with. And they were able to rent it out. So I brought along a tour manager. Someone who does a lot of that and is a good friend, and he did photos for me. His name is Abe Deo. And we jumped along on one of the main tour.

there. There was a poster made. It was posted up in the hotel. And yeah, we went, I did some of the classic tour things, seeing the mass games, but we ended up doing the party one night in the hotel. The biggest, the most interesting thing was the North Koreans were there, because the audience was made up of North Koreans. You had like expats in North Korea, mostly embassy staff. and medical people like from the Red Cross or whatever. And then you also had other people who were traveling through on tours. I remember there was one Ivy League international diplomacy group from traveling North Korea. So those were the three main groups.

We had to sneak in the DJ gear, I should mention. When you enter Pyongyang through the airport, which Americans have to do because there's no official diplomatic. relationship between America and North Korea. They have kind of like fake metal detectors, but even so they didn't want me to hold the DJ gear, but the director

of the tour company held it on because he goes through so often they didn't really check him at all. They told me not to play any South Korean music when I did it. I did anyway, but I really gave like an overview of Western music. The song that

really got people going was the twist, because even though North the Koreans had never danced in an uncorograpped way before. It's pretty easy to set up, and it's fun and sexy and everything else. But, you know, I played everything from hip-hop and disco. I remember Prince went over really well. I just remember that small detail. The power went out a couple times, but it went on for a couple hours, and it was really fun.

Running into obstacles that I faced. Well, you know, for the most part, we were around with the tour. I did sneak away a couple times, including drinking bootleg soju with some North Korean Cholgers. That was a fun times. But overall, it was a fun time. Would I do it again? Yeah, sure.

It's not an opportunity that comes up, and there's so many other places of the world I'd love to go. But, yeah, sure. But that's it for me, DJ Bo. Thank you very much. That guy's a wild card. Did he describe myself? Is the number two DJ? He did, yeah.

Self-awareness. I like that. That could be in reference to a guy in Shanghai that used to call himself Shanghai's number one DJ, Spencer Tarring, DJ Spenny. So I think that was in reference to that if that guy is even still around. I bet you met some crazy interesting people, like just Americans that decide to go to China. I don't think you do that if you're lame. Spenny was one of the bigger D-bags I've met in my life.

But he was very interesting to hang around with. But we don't have to go down that rabbit hole at the moment. I'll say this about Donnie. This is a good compliment you can give somebody. I mean it, though. Donnie has some of the most interesting, fun friends to hang out with. At his wedding, I didn't really know anybody there. I knew, like, maybe one or two people, kind of, or what was aware of one or two people,

but just fascinating people, very friendly friends. You got a great, very diverse friend. I would expect that, honestly. Yeah. Thank you. From as much of you travel around and get connections to people, I mean, he's a night, Donnie's a great guy, so of course you're going to have great friends. Yeah.

Thank you. I appreciate that. He broke a lot of rules. I would have been more careful with rules. Yeah. I would have turned into Jake Marsh the second I said foot on North Korea. Oh, dude, when he said I played playing South Korea music. I mean, that, I'm surprised he didn't get murdered on the spot.

His show is probably three years before Auto Warm Beer, too, because it's like, if you're going to do that after what happened to Otter Warmbier, you're insane. Insane. Yeah. I've got some fun facts about North Korea. And it's really just one fun fact with fun facts underneath it. They invented their own rules for basketball. Oh. Did you know that?

I think it's the current leader. I think it was Kim Jong-un that you're not allowed to jump because he can't. Yeah. Because of his foot is cheese foot. Waddling only. He's got a case of the cheese foot. In North Korea, slam dunks are worth three points. I kind of like that.

Not going to happen because the average dude. What is the basketball hoop height? What is the hoop height? That's a good question. I'm not sure. Because if everybody's 5'1, you can't dunk. If you're 5'1 and dunking, that should be the end of the game. Yeah.

It should be like when you break the backboard. It should be worth three points, though. Maybe 4 or 5. I think it should be game over. If you're, I mean, that's somebody higher than Spud Webb. Like Spudweb was 5.7. All right. I'm actually reading these rules.

Is. I didn't mean to kill Spudweb. I think I'm in on North Korean basketball. Three point shots are awarded four points if the ball doesn't touch the rim. Like that? This is good. That's good. When we move into the new office, we need to play North Korean rules basketball.

I think you're right. Absolutely. One point is deducted for every missed free throw shot. I like that. I'm going to blog this. This rocks, actually. This is amazing. Yeah.

These are just great rules. Any field goal made in the last three seconds of a game is given eight points. Wow. Yeah. That one would be insane, man. Like if you were betting on that game, you're like, oh, six to cover. And then you hit an eight point shot. You get a buzzer-beater specialist? People go bananas.

Winning gold. Games can in a tie. I don't like that. I don't like that one at all. Let's see. Those are the main wheel changes. They were on a hot streak and then they have to throw out that tie. Yeah.

When closer to that one. Eight points is crazy, but the other ones I actually really like. What do you think is more reasonable? I think four points is reasonable at the end of the game. Inside a minute? Yeah, four-pointer. Yeah. You said any field goal?

Any field goal, four points at the end of the game. In the last three seconds. I don't like that. I think last minute, it would be so exciting. Like you get an open layup and that's four points? Yeah. Don't let them get an open layout, Big T. Sure.

If you hit a three, maybe it's six points. double everything. It's too many points. That's too many points. I love the other ones. What about if you double everything, including the penalty for missing a free throw? If you miss it late in the game,

that means you lose two points. But I like the other ones the way they were. Because now I mean you can have a 17 point swing in the last 15 seconds. But that would be exciting. You remember the Patriot Super Bowl. I do. That's true.

Oh, the NFL should be on this soon. They'll be like, yeah, you know, a touchdown at the end. of the game is worth 38 points now. Every game's a one possession game. Yeah, I do love, though, that American football just decided our points, each score is going worth more points in our game. I think we should make one change to the college football overtime rules, where if you

go into more than two, it just becomes who wins Oklahoma drill. I like that. That's basically what it is at this point. They may as well. Send your best guy out here. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be like that battle that you're talking about with the samurai order.

Bill is talking about. to travel by combat. Just two fullbacks or two centers going at it. Yeah. PFT, you might have an opportunity to travel to North Korea because I just read an article.

They're trying to recruit amateur golfers to go over and play at their best course. All right, so there's no difference between this and the Liv Tour, right? Yeah. I would be. I would be so tall. You would be.

That would be sick. You would be tall. And I was reading something. Apparently they have an underwater. golf course? I don't know if it's just one of the holes. They got sports figured out over there. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's the first time they are opening the course to foreign visitors. It's really like if you gave a six-year-old $50 billion. You're like, what are you going to invest? Well, I want big guns. I want to play cowboys. True. Yeah. And then I want sports. I want big

sports. He's a giant cheese-footed toddler. You know, I love cheese. Yes. They just, every hole, they give you a cheese stick. You're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, keep me happy. I'm in, listen, I'm not saying no to North Korean golf. You go play golf there, though. You got to play from the tips. You can't play from the white tips. Yeah, foreplay. Foreplay goes over North Korea.

Breaking 90. You do a very good job, too, of cracking jokes about saying anything negative about the country. Like, when we went to Qatar, you were like, I don't want to be seen, like, openly, openly criticizing Qatar in case, like, I get in trouble while there. So you just, like, suck the Amir's. dick in such a humorous way that like there were some people being like what the fuck pf t don't you know about all their human rights abuses like why do you keep on saying great things about the emir but i mean i think the majority of people could understand it was clearly sarcasm i was

banking on the emir not understanding sarcasm at all and i don't think kim jong un would be able to read sarcasm that's the beauty of a language barrier i don't think that you can satirize how people usually praise him over there because that would be like more over the top than anything i would ever do, though I would feel like I was being over the top. It'd be like writing about government now. You just can't do it. You can't satire it. There was a documentary about this medical group that goes overseas and they actually do a

really great thing. They provide eye surgery for free to some of the most poor parts of the world because a lot of blindness that's out there can be cured with a very basic like five minute long surgery if you have a trained eye surgeon or ophthalmologists or whatever performing it. and they got this big group together. They go over to North Korea and they do all these surgeries in a day and just give like thousands of people the ability to see for the first time,

sometimes since they were like small children. And they get the surgeries. And the very first thing that the people do is they walk across the room over to the little eight by 10 picture of Kim Jong-un that's hanging up. And they start thanking him and crying. And they're like, I can't believe this. I can finally see Dear Leader again. That's the one thing that I've really missed seeing.

over the course of my blind life. I can't imagine being in that situation where... Huh. Yeah. Anything else? Anything else we want to get into about North Korea? Fun, weird facts. I got a clip.

Can I empty it? Empty it. Fire away. North Korea's tallest building is an abandoned hotel. So, like, when you look at the skyline of Pyongyang, you see this, like, giant, pointy building. It's just an empty hotel. It's called the Hotel of Doom.

The ghost cities, yeah. A lot of those, right? They just have a bunch of facades of buildings that are meant to look good, but they're not actually used for anything. Yeah, ghost cities, yep. Building a hotel for visitors in a hermit kingdom is not the best use of money, I wouldn't say. And they use a lot of their electricity because they have a terrible grid. Those fake cities eat up like 25, 30% of their electricity use at night.

Yeah, it's 105 stories. And it's the darkest placed on Earth at night, too. really yeah like you could see it like whenever you look from the from space down it's really interesting because you could see china has lights all over it south korea does and then it's complete pitch black over north korea i got a dumb question about they have to be pumped about the super moon coming up oh yeah they're like you're able to see at night normally a nickel but now it's a quarter my god dumb question about the north korean military where are they getting the technology to to develop atomic weapons and like develop these ballistic missiles

that can in some cases hit like the west coast of the United States. I'd say there's so bad at everything else. Strategic partnerships, right? Like with, they have some other nefarious countries that they're in with, like they do some trading with Iran now. They do trading with as far as energy with Russia and some with China. Yeah. It just seems like they're punching way above their weight class when comes to weapons.

They also know how to hack Sony. They've got some solid cyber hackers. It's probably why they send their people to school in, like, England. Did North Korea cause the happening? They're the ones who leaked that the, that the Spider-Man was going to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Really? Was this about the interview?

Yeah. Because I remember something happened with Sony, yeah. And so then they leaked that, they leaked the emails of the. president of Sony. That's what it was. And Sony was dealing with Marvel and they were not getting along. And they were like, we want to take Spider-Man back and you can't use them in Marvel anymore. And they leaked all those emails. It became a huge shitstorm. That's right. And then they took it. International incident legit, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then everywhere in America took it out of theaters because they were like, we might get bombed or something. And then they put it out on

like where you could just rent it at home. I think it was Christmas Eve. Yeah. And we were at my uncle's house that Christmas. I'm like, we're watching this fucking movie tonight. Like, as our act as Americans on Christmas Eve, we're going to watch this damn movie. Yeah. It was great.

Good, good movie. Yeah, no, it was a good movie. And they're probably the reason why Spider-Man is still in the Marvel universe. Because like, before the emails were leaked, Sony was going to take them back. And then they were just made to look so bad. They're like, no, we have to work out of it. deal. I'm glad they didn't kidnap Tom Holland. I would have been a big to do. Yeah, for sure. International incident. I have one more fun fact. And then and then that's it for me.

Hey, Billy, have you ever heard of Unit 684? No, I haven't. They were like the real life suicide squad. So at one point, North Korea tried to, they sent like a team of 31 operatives to try to assassinate the president of South Korea. And they got within like 330 feet of his house before they were caught. And so to retaliate South Korea was like, we're going to form this elite unit to assassinate Kim Jong-il. But they wanted it completely off the books. It was, what's it called? Going dark. Yeah. Yeah. So they just recruited a bunch of criminals and unemployed people off the streets, put them on this island and like, gave them. them the most intense training ever for maybe like five years seven people died during the training um

and then like 15 20 years later after they've just been secluded on this island they canceled the mission they're like yeah we're going to call it off and at that point everyone in unit 684 mutinied um fled to the mainland hijacked a bus and were like driving the bus to soul to just fucking wreak havoc because they were so pissed their whole life has been like hell training for this one mission and then you cancel the mission and there was a big standoff with like the military there and pretty much all them were either killed or just jumped on their own grenades and killed themselves and the president of South Korea was like Jesus Christ Jason Borns yeah yeah it was yeah it was a bunch of Jason Borns got a lot like got fucking set loose in soul

and yeah all them died in the standoff it would be crazy if they actually just went to kill to do the mission without, it would be the perfect storm. Like, we, we didn't order this mission. They just did themselves. I want to meet those dudes. Why aren't those dudes in like the UFC? Yeah, one of this, no, I think this, yeah, this happened in 1971 is when they all mutinyed and went nuts. Trained for 20 years?

Yeah, so they trained the, when was it formed? Yeah, I don't know, maybe it was formed in the 60s and then they finally called off the mission 197 so maybe they train like for 10 years um i guess south korea made a movie about it that uh was probably worth checking out that's awesome yeah uh you guys hear about kim jong un's toilets uh they go with them right they go with him everywhere he travels that's smart you're supposed to guard well for a personal like comfort is that what you're saying just you know what you're getting like you don't want to get to a spot he's a larger fella like you're like you you don't want to get somewhere.

The toilet isn't what you're used to. It throws off your whole rhythm. I like that move. Home game everywhere. Yep. He does it so that no one can steal his shit. That's fair. That's fair too.

They're afraid of people taking his shit and then analyzing it and being like, wow, this guy's really sick or this guy has. Wow, this guy eats an insane amount of cheese. Yeah, he really does. It's like gooey. Yeah. So he installed his own personal toilet that's heavily guarded by their equivalent of like

the Secret Service. There's a toilet that's on the train. I think it's a train that one of the cars is specifically his bathroom. All of his cars and the bus that he takes, they've got his own shitter on there. No one else is allowed to use it. He has to be a huge diarrhea guy. Like that's the only exclusive, like I think I can get along with him for that purpose. Also, there are Secret Service people I absolutely love that just run along the side of the limo

everywhere he goes. Yeah. What's up with the giant hats that they wear though? It seems like that would be unwieldy if you're trying to get. get into physical combat they wear these kind of like those guards at like buckingham palace yeah but these hats are like normal um almost like old school police officer style hats i don't know what that style oh yeah yeah garrison cover is what is that what it's called garrison cover except they're like three times as big they're giant caps i don't know i just don't know what's up

i think they get bigger too with rank that might be it yeah like that general that trump saluted had a huge hat yeah he did it's a huge hat trump was probably just maybe that's why he did it he was probably just saluting the hat you see that hat and you're like fuck man it's a great hat that's a dope hat yeah billy you got anything left in the clip or just the hotel thing i got a lot women can only pick from 15 government approved hair styles so it's literally like a video game there's only 15 haircuts you can choose dudes have even less dudes have two i kind of like that dudes have two or three there's even less for men and there's even less like pants styles too yeah it's pretty yeah men can choose one of these hair yeah so if you're a man you have the

privilege of choosing your next haircut from it's also 15 it's oh is it yeah how do you i don't even know how you style a dude's hair 15 different ways yeah really i was i was going to say like women really only have 15 different haircuts right right madeline mackenzie long part it to the side part down the middle how many different kinds of haircuts for women can be named Like, yeah, Bob. Okay, it's a... Pixie? Pig tails, ponytail.

What's the difference between Pixie and a Bob? Fixie is, like, short and way short. Karen. Like, Karen. That's what I thought a Bob was. Bob is like the orange, the woman who wears orange in Scooby-Doo. That's a Bob. Yeah.

French resistance fighters. Got it. And then it's like every length, I guess. But I don't think they can have too long hair over there. Yeah, I doubt my hair would be a lot of there. It's not one of the 15. No. Oh, no, your hair would be very frowned upon.

Yeah. You might even have to be like the Yankees whenever you go over there, just got it. No sideburns. All right, what else you got, Billy? Their calendar is based off of the founder's date of birth. Okay. They don't live in 2022. It's the 111th Juche year.

It begins on April 15th, 1912, the date of birth of Kim Il-sung. Okay. So they're just in a different timeline. The dream job for women in North Korea going to their cemeteries.

I'm like, where the fuck do these people go from? This time wasn't around here. Right. The most sought-after job is being a traffic cop. There's reported that women in these roles are often handpicked for the job with tall and attractive being major factors in successfully scoring the gig. To make it weirder,

even a fan site dedicated to the women who direct traffic in the country's capital. I respect that. We have that too. Yeah, we have that too. Yeah, that's their version.

It's called a fetish. Look it up. Their version of Instagram is just a lot of people drive by the same attractive woman. Yeah. No blue jeans are allowed. Damn.

No outside music is allowed. We knew that. Kim Jong-un hates K-pop with a passion. Yeah. We kind of could deduce that. There are four TV. channels. You need the government's permission to buy a laptop. And if you do get one, there's only 28 websites you can browse. I think they finally just played their first Western movie on TV over

there. Do you any of you guys guess what the movie was? Can you give me a year or like a decade I can give you it. It is a sports movie. Okay. Airbud. Oh, I'm going to go remember the Titans. No, it's a soccer movie. Oh, Ben, I like that. Beckham. Yep. Damn. That was a good one. The first Western movie ever played on TV over there. Really? Yeah. I mean, I'm surprised. They allowed that.

They used human waste as fertilizer? Yep. I can see that. That's not a good idea. Just my opinion. Yeah. When I lived in China, they actually had a bunch of North Korean restaurants, and all of the waitresses and the manager were from North Korea. And they used it as a

sort of like soft power you know they did make the world cup back in i think 2010 and uh they said that they were in the group with japan the u.s and china and they just reported that they beat japan seven nothing the united states four nothing and china two nothing yes why stop there but i love that though like if you could tell people that you're the best why not do it but i i thought then maybe it was the next world cup they finally played their first match on like live TV so they couldn't fake the score yeah and they lost by like seven goals and I think they're like all right we're never doing that again yeah okay so I got I got the facts a little bit wrong in 2010 in the World Cup they reported that North Korea

defeated Brazil one nothing according to North Korean news but Brazil actually won two to one and then later on I'm surprised it was that close I know that's crazy later on they didn't even make the World Cup, but they made a propaganda video saying that they were in the World Cup and they defeated Japan 7-0, U.S. 4-0, China, 2-0. We couldn't even play. Smart. Very smart, yeah. That's, I mean, that'd be great.

In 2010, if I could just be fed propaganda about my team. They did score one goal. Who they score against? I am not sure. I just see goals for and goals allowed. They allowed 12, but they did score one in their three games. Who scored that one goal? I feel like that they probably treat that guy like.

a king. Yeah. But they still lost that game, I assume. So is he a work camp? Yeah. Yeah, probably still. Not just him, but his grandpa and son. If I was on the North Korean World Cup soccer team, I would just, after the game was over, I would just stay on the field. Be like, I'm currently defecting right now. You got all the cameras in the world on you. Yeah, but your family's fucked. That's the reason why they don't do it. Good point. Yeah, because it's the three generation thing. Well, they're going to kill your grandparents. They're going to kill your children. Yeah, you've got to be real selfish to do it. I don't remember this game.

They scored against Brazil. They only lost 2-1 to Brazil. That's wild that they scored a goal against Brazil. They lost 7-0 to Portugal and 3-0 to the Ivory Coast. Yaya Tore scored in that game. Great player. Good for that guy that scored, though. Yeah, uh, UNAM.

G, UNAM. See, if it wasn't for North Korea, I'd really like to root for North Korea. Because that's like an underdog story big time. Yeah, Disney should be. Anybody in any other small country scores against Brazil? That's a huge win. Yeah. But I can't, I don't, I don't think I could be happy for North Korea.

We can support the people of North Korea. True. We don't hate the people. We hate the regime. The government, yeah. But I don't think the people would support us if we, we're just, because they've just been brainwashed their whole life to hate Americans. Yeah, but we've been brainwashed to hate North Koreans.

We've been brainwashed to hate the North Korean government, but we haven't been brainwashed to be like we've been brainwashed to feel so bad for the north korean people kind of but not like hate the north korean people just be like oh like their lives are so hard billy just wants to be their nutritionist i just want i just want to take a north korean just take them to mcdonalds and just like be like eat whatever you want like you want another burger here if you follow my workout regimen you're going to be the size of a south korean and no time donnie i i wanted to ask you while you're here uh i i saw something going around on twitter yesterday that was talking about how McDonald's in America is nowhere near as good as McDonald's overseas

and how we've just kind of like slacked off on on our product development. Now, we did have some, some Qatari McDonald's. We were over there and Popeye chicken, not Popeye's chicken. It was Popeye chicken. You don't need the plural. If you have two Popeyes, you don't have one. Yeah, so McDonald's in China was about the same as the U.S. So it was very consistent.

Burger King in China, worse. KFC in China, worse. Carl's Jr. in China, way better than Carl's Jr. in the U.S. Taco Bell in China, better than Taco Bell in the U.S. Wow. Is it the same as it was in Japan with McDonald's there? It actually came out looking like the advertisement. Like whenever you would get your McDonald's burger, it looked perfect.

They'd probably take pride in the presentation. Yeah, I think that's more of a Japanese people. Definitely more of a Japanese thing. Because here in America, if you're working at McDonald's, you want to get the fuck out of the McDonald's as soon as possible. I mean, they'd be perfect. And the fries are like straight up and down in their little carton. They do everything.

But hey, PFT, Chicago is the one place in America that has an international McDonald's. Hamburger you. So we got to go. We got to go. They have like the shrimp burger too? Yeah, they just like have the items from McDonald's all over the world. The green or the black. It's in like phulton market.

Octopus, Inc. burger they rotate in different stuff i think yeah that's a yeah it's called you had that one um i've had the black bun before they they had that in china at one point that's octopus ink yeah it's octopus ink yeah it's octopus i think that came out around Halloween maybe i don't know it was like a and then the jaggs did the same year the jags did a teal bun and it just looked like mold yeah it's not a good color but i ate it it was delicious yeah donnie we got to go we got to go for sure McDonald's Global Menu Restaurant Wow

It's got a 4.1 out of 5 It's their like headquarters That ain't bad Yeah, that's not Yeah hamburger you is no joke It's hard to get it to then Harvard Where oh Yeah

They have something called the Alu Tiki Burger Which I guess is on the menu in India Maybe Oh like Tiki Masala Yeah Micaloo Tiki I'd eat that We should do around the world

We'll do Epcot of McDonald's. Yes. Right? But yeah, I'm 100% in for that. Still got to hit the American Pavilion, though, because the spicy McChicken's back. Oh, yeah. And they have it on a biscuit for the morning. Wait, does spicy make chickens back for everybody?

Well, if I'm getting a spicy chicken biscuit, it's from Chick-fil-A. I know, but if you're at McDonald's, you can put a round egg and cheese on it. It's just kind of like Bojangles. Really? Yeah. Huh. We think about the Bowberry biscuit. Outstanding.

Awesome. One of the best, I think the best fast food dessert. breakfast that there is. Yeah. Over the McGrittle. Yeah. The McGritch. Oh, not even like close.

McGrittle, I think, is the worst breakfast sandwich at McDonald's. Oh, I disagree. Well, that's crazy. I hate the McGrittle. It's no boberry, but it'll do. No, I hate the texture of it. I hate the smell of it. It makes me, I've, the McRiddle makes me sick.

You're insane. If I order, it happened to me the other day. I ordered that chicken biscuit that I was just telling you about. And instead of a biscuit, it came on a McGrittle. It's the only time. in my life I've ever drove back around. No, that sounds great. And I was like, I don't, I don't want to eat this thing.

I love the McRiddle. I love it so much. It's delicious. All right, that'll do it for us on macrodosing today. Kind of fucked up to end North Korea. I was just thinking that they'll never know. We have so much food here. We don't.

It's really good. Wish y'all could, wish y'all could try it. Kim Jong-il liked to roast donkey. That was his favorite meal. I'd give that a go. Yeah. donkey's pretty good actually we only travel by luxury train no it tastes like ass yeah all right that was a good one we'll see you guys on tuesday love you guys see it
