he's stuck in
traffic coming over to panga probably dodging hippies you ever take that ride

a sign a lot of
a lot of hemp a lot of beads a lot of dirty feet i passed by a guy who had a
sign that said vegan
gardener like what does that mean like no it wasn't vegan gardener it was vegan
landscaping that's what
it was i was like what what the fuck does that even mean i just wanted to hit
him just wanted
to fucking have bears chase him or something son of a bitch randall park ladies
and gentlemen
what's happening good to see you brother good to see you man thanks for coming
on here i appreciate
it yeah for sure you are in the middle of the one of the most controversial
movies in the history of
the world yeah yeah you are you play i play kim jong-un yeah in the interview
yeah that's right which is
fucking crazy man i didn't think it was crazy when i signed on i realized it
was crazy you know in the
midst of all that yeah what is the verdict because they say that it's not it's
not north korea someone
was saying it was an insider at sony they had it let they had it narrowed down
to a woman who hacked it
read that you know i don't know i don't know because after they came out with
that the fbi came out and said
no it is north korea we have a lot of information that we haven't released but
it is trust us but then
you know the the private kind of security experts still think it's not north korea
i would almost always go with
private security experts over the fbi almost always i um i kind of feel like
most people now would also
which is kind of sad as you know sad for the fbi but i think most people are
questioning it
would you be willing to go over there ever hell well yeah ever you mean like do
you mean north korea
specifically or do you mean oh yes very specifically no no no i would not go
over there i would never go there
especially what if you went over there under the the guidance of dennis rodman
no no i i i i would say i wouldn't go near dennis rodman
in america i would not go near him but i would not go near north korea at all i
mean if the
regime topples changes and uh you know i don't know 20 years from now what's
the likelihood of that though
i don't know i don't know i don't know i think it's i think it's possible but
yeah in our lifetimes i
think but uh yeah that's the only way i'd go well we were talking about this
before um the podcast
started that they exchanged flash drives yeah back and forth to each other yeah
like in the a huge part of
uh the underground economy there is is basically these flash drives with with
south korean tv shows
movies american movies you know just glimpses into the outside world that they're
not supposed to see
it's a huge underground market so i think i don't know the people there
especially the younger people
they know what's going on you know and if they get caught not only are they
fucked yeah they if well
this is what i i've read and i don't know how it is now it might be even worse
now for all i know but
yeah if they get caught they go to a labor camp for i don't know how long they
it's like a three
generational thing their their kids go to a labor camp there and their parents
will go like the whole
family ends up being punished for their action which is wild it's insane yeah
and when when we hear
about like dictatorships like that we always think of it like that's from like
the 40s like you know you
think of it as he is it is from the 40s that's a thing and it just has not
changed over there yeah
i just wonder what it would take for something like that to be toppled and we
were also talking
before the podcast started about his uncle that his uncle apparently was
planning some sort of a coup so
yeah killed his uncle killed his uncle's sons yeah yeah i mean well one thing
that happened when our
when our movie was about to come out there was like some expert on on north korea
who said that
it's important that the elite in pyongyang see this movie especially the people
in the the
you know the government and it working it because it's so it's so they're on
such shaky ground right
now that for them to see something like this could like really help in getting
something to happen over
there this is what sony you were saying no no this was like an expert on like
some professor or something
on north korea which i thought was interesting but yeah i i i that kind of blew
my mind when
he said that wow that's great imagine if it did imagine if that was the
catalyst if our our ridiculous
comedy seth rogan james franco movie was the catalyst for overthrowing the last
great communist
dictatorship yeah yeah i mean old school communist dictatorship yeah it's crazy
i mean it's all you know
so much of it is is is this kind of deification you know of him yeah and uh all
of this stuff you know
our movie but not just that even just glimpses into the outside world it just
chips away at that you
know and he becomes who he is you know to these people and and to other people
and you know in the
government and and and that does not help their cause you know or the
government or kim jong-un's cause you
know what is the dennis rodman thing what's did you research him at all when
you did this i did yeah i
mean kim jong-un include and his father kim jong-il when he was alive huge nba
fans he was a huge
basketball fan he was like a loved michael jordan and there's a story of kim
jong-un supposedly he
was a when he was a student he went to like an international school in switzerland
and uh there
are accounts of him from other students he'd just sit in class all day and draw
doodle pictures of michael
jordan like literally in this class so like he was obsessed with basketball and
in that era and i think you
know that bulls team was running things at the time and like rod and just to he
was a huge rodman fan
wow yeah that's so crazy it's so crazy see rodman over there hanging out with
him is so surreal
so did you see that uh that press conference no there's a video of like a press
conference where
he's basically sitting there with with the other play some other players who
went with him on this trip
and he's clearly drunk and he's basically justifying his you know his actions
by going over there and
and and you know becoming friends with this guy and he's like drunk and this is
a press conference
from korea or from america i think it was in korea that they shot that they
shot it and you could
see the players behind him and they just look super uncomfortable just looking
around like well how
could you not be super uncomfortable first of all hanging out with dennis rodman
to make you super
uncomfortable dennis rodman calling a press conference yeah yeah yeah yeah i
mean yeah yeah
is the top one or the that it's that yeah that top one oh look who's here eddie
wong in the house
what's up i'm the worst man i'm the fucking worst dude this is la the traffic
is insane you're also
fucking i'm an idiot that lost my car in a fucking parking garage did you yeah
man i was running up and
down the wrong parking were you like along third street like one of those garages
yeah yeah like the
promenade and they got three garages that look the same and i was running up
and down i'm like where
the fuck is my car it was right here and then they were like you know there's
another parking garage
that's hilarious my bad dude no worries man we still we kicked things off randall
we're good
nice we just we we had to cover the interview anyway we had to go over all the
crazy that he's been
going through yeah yeah the artist formerly known as kim jong-un
did you at any point in time feel like you fucked up no man you know no i i was
this is the thing i
wasn't like scared for my life i'm scared for your life but this is the thing
there were enough people
like you friends family people who were genuinely scared for my life that it
got me thinking like
should i be scared for my life well you had secret service we had guards at the
house what yeah yeah
sony provided us cards how long it's like a couple weeks what the sony at first
i was like we don't
need guards seriously we don't need guards they're like let's let's let us just
give you some guard
just for peace of mind i was like all right all right and then uh and then one
day they were just
gone like a few weeks later they were gone and i was thinking oh my god we're
the guards i need the
guards you know like i was just so you know i felt so protected by them when i
didn't wouldn't have
otherwise you know i just got used to and then my friends being so concerned
for me it just kind of
got me paranoid did anyone contact you did you get any threats or did anybody
no no one on twitter
like pretended to be from north korea and with you no we should have done it
too dude i you know i mean
i would get like spam mail like i always get and i would think twice if i'd be
like wait a minute is
this like regular spam or is this like hack into my email destroy my life spam
you know right right
right and uh but i you know i didn't know i would never have i just kind of
deleted it like i always
do you know yeah you're always you know that i was paranoid unrelated yeah yeah
most likely but i i you
know i got paranoid i got paranoid after a while and then the movie came out
like we were talking about
earlier it just all died out like the dust settled really quickly it was like
crazy it was like the
biggest news and then all of a sudden i don't know it seems like things just
die quick today yeah
because there's so much new scandal coming down every day there's there's
always something new nutty

somebody's head off
something you know there's always something another woman yeah yeah yeah yeah

used to happen in five years happen in one year now they happen in a day it's
it's weird yeah it's
kind of insane yeah things are accelerating for sure even when i travel every
city i go to there's a
pocket of every city that looks the same like that same arts district is in
every fucking city with
the same stores the same kids the same clothes and by contrast the same applebee's
