127
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: X once said of his days as a young musician,

128
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and I quote, I always wanted to do music because

129
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I didn't care about anything else. It's like the most

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: musician thing you can say, right, I mean, like I

131
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: can hear your brothers saying that now. He also said,

132
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do music. And I graduated with

133
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: a bachelor's and jazz performance from Australia. And as soon

134
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: as I graduated, I was a former musician an Australian

135
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: jazz degree exactly that I thought. I was like, interesting,

136
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: You're like, I need to go learn jazz, no offense Australia.

137
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you do everything in an incredible way, but

138
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: you just don't expect no yea. So he goes to

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Australia for jazz music instruction and then he returns to

140
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Hong Kong and he's like ready to gig in the

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: bumping Hong Kong jazz scene, right, and this is like

142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, two thousand and four, and I

143
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know maybe it was a bumping or not, but anyway,

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: he's like, this isn't the move. I need to get

145
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: out of here. So he heads over, bounces around the

148
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: and he studies Brazilian music. He falls in love with it.

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: He decides, you know what, I need to bring this

150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: back to my people. They need to know the power

151
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,480

Speaker 1: oh Howard, careful, no exactly. He decides, this is one

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: of my people. So he then he will put Howard

155
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: in perspective. He once said that his other great loves

156
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: are quote, food and women. Love Argentinian meat and Japanese food.

157
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Now assume by Argentinian meat means good. He says, I

158
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: love food and women, and he gives an example of

159
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: food and Argentinian meat. Yeah, I don't know whatever. So

160
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: he is a man of appetites. Yeah, So things are

161
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: going well for young Howard X, the Bossonova, jazz man

162
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: and meat lover, and then life comes calling, and in

163
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: this case for him, it was the death of a

164
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: North Korean dictator. Yeah, you never know what's going to

165
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: hit you. So December twenty eleven, Kim Jong Ill died.

166
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: Now not only was he the son of the founder

167
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: of North Korea, Kim Il sung, but he was also

168
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: the former had of the North Korean filment the story

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: and a big time got Zella fan. Now we've discussed

170
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: this right now. When Kim Jong Ill passed away in

171
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, he was succeeded by his son Kim Jong

172
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: n who is the current leader of North Korea. This

173
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: brings me back to Howard X. So in two thousand

174
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: and twelve, Howard X wakes up to the fact that

175
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: he's like, wait a minute, I can make a lot

176
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: of money with my face. So, as Howard X told

177
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Vice and I quote when he first came on the scene,

178
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: just before his dad Kim Jong Ill introduced him and

179
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: promoted him to the head of the army or something,

180
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: I thought, Man, that's my face. Apart from that, I

181
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't think too much about it. Then a few people

182
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: pointed it out and I thought about impersonators elsewhere making

183
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: cash and I realized I could do that too. He's like, yeah,

184
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: this is now going to be my passport to wealth.

185
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: So he's just like voices his passport verify him very good.

186
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: So he's like, he's like, you know what, for me,

187
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: this one'll require too much you know, energy and effort

188
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: to transform into Kim Jong what he will eventually become

189
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Um right, so um. So for him, it

190
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: all starts with the pair of hair clippers. He's like,

191
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: just give me their clippers and I can exactly. This

192
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: is my my personal motto, give me hair clippers and

193
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: we can sort it out exactly. So he had to

194
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: get that high top fade that Kim Jong ross. So

195
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: as Howard X once again tells Vice, I got that

196
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: stupid haircut. It's horrible, and I already owned one of

197
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: those mouth suits back in nineteen ninety seven. I a

198
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: ward for the Hong Kong handover parties. Also, I've got

199
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: his body shape and I eat a lot, so I've

200
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: got a double chin, no need for props. So he's

201
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: like all lined up right. So other than this, things

202
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: pretty much take care of themselves. He's like, you know

203
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: what all I need to do is let the world

204
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: see me is my new creation. Let them let the

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Kim Jong wash over them, right. He's like, okay, and

206
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: I quote, I took some photos, uploaded them to Facebook,

207
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: and an Israeli production house found me. They were producing

208
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: a commercial for the competitor of McDonald's Burger Ranch. Wait,

209
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: apparently in Israel, in competition is Burger Ranch because they

210
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: don't want, Like, I don't know what they don't want.

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't answer that question. So at this point he

212
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: becomes Kim Jong Um. Officially the ball is rolling. You know,

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: for the most part, as I told you, it isn't

214
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: terribly difficult to maintain this look. He was telling the

215
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: New York Post, Basically, I just don't exercise, and I

216
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: eat a lot of high quality steaks. Okay, So you know,

217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: he also primarily works on the scowl. That's where he

218
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: finds Kim Jong um Um. They go through a lot

219
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: of palmaid too. I would imagine, oh, yeah, I bet he's. Yeah,

220
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: he's gotten like an oil slick up there on his head.

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: He's a damn man. So he does look as I'm

222
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: saying a lot of work on a scowl. And he says,

223
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: the key to becoming Kim jong um is to becoming

224
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: him is to always look unhappy and dissatisfied. She was like, look,

225
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: if I can be sad, boy, I've got it nailed right.

226
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: So he's like, this is the key. And also, of course, yeah,

227
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: he does wear a little makeup because he's got to, like,

228
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's taken a lot of photos. He wants

229
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: to look good for me every angle. So he also

230
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: snips and trims his eyebrows. He wants to match him

231
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: because that's important to the look right. And then you know,

232
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: obviously there's the haircut. And uh, Elizabeth, you've ever seen

233
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the back of Kim jong UN's head? Oh, he has

234
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: like a big does he have a tumor um? I

235
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: don't know, I've never seen it. I realized i'd never

236
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: seen it. I feel like I read a while back

237
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: that he's got a weird bump. He's got like some

238
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: sort of lump, and I don't know if it's just

239
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: like a big old system. Okay, I'm gonna say something gross,

240
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's what it is. But

241
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: apparently like yeah, you never see pictures in the back

242
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: of his head. Yeah, So Howard X was having a

243
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: hard time with it. He was like, if I'm gonna

244
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: get this haircut right, I gotta get like the back

245
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: of his head. I never really thought about it. I

246
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: don't think about Korean dictator's heads that often. But uh, yes,

247
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Howard X told the BBC It's extremely hard to find

248
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: a picture of the back of his head. But I

249
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: did my research, printed out a load of photos, took

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: them to a local guy, and after bit of experimenting,

251
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: he perfected the look. He's now my regular stylist, but

252
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: he's had to adjust his usual way of cutting an

253
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: order for me to look this ridiculous. Apparently he goes

254
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: against every single rule for a good haircut. Of course,

255
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: so after all that work to get the haircut just right,

256
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: he eventually still has to hide the haircut because he

257
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: walks out he looks like Kim Jong. Right, So he's

258
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: always wearing a hat, right, except for at home he

259
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: gets to take the hat off, but then his girlfriend

260
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: has to deal with that and let's just say, not

261
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: the sexiest look. Yeah, as he said, my girlfriend hates it.

262
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: It is quote not the sexiest look. So yeah, i'd like,

263
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: how about how about a sleeping cap? Yeah, ma, baby,

264
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you a long stocket. So I need

265
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: to find looks like Kim John can you? I mean

266
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: you gotta give his girl credit. I mean she's like

267
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: basically saying what you're saying is I don't want Kim

268
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Jong Hm climbing on top of me and make him

269
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: like sex faces at me. And you can't blame the

270
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: girl for that. In case you were wondering, Kim Jong Oom,

271
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: he's got a Tinder So if you were like wondering,

272
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: now I was out there on the dating circuit. Yes,

273
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: he is a Lizabes the girlfriend leave him. No, just

274
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Oom the character, not Howard X Kim Jong

275
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah baby, it's not me. That's Kim Jong Um.

276
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: So he wrote on his profile that if you like

277
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: a man with power, I'm your guy. Well, it's like kissing.

278
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: You said, you know, power's the ultimate aphrodisiac, right, kissing.

279
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: I try not to listen to anything because you're on

280
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: sex advice. No imagine kissing, you're climbing up on top

281
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: of it, sexy faces. No, okay, whatever, No, I guess Elizabeth, Yes,

282
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: pretending to be a dictator of North Korea is not

283
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the safest occupation. It's like, you know, there are other

284
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: ones like roofers, probably more dangerous, but he's up there now.

285
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: When it comes to like its own particular hazards, like

286
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, oh, Kim jong um tries to sound a

287
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: killer hit team after you like, there's that. But his mother, right,

288
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: she was, you know, ahead of this, so she took

289
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: out a life insurance plan on her boy. Just but

290
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Howard X does believe that Kim jong un knows who

291
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: he is, or Kim jong un knows who he is.

292
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: He told the Time magazine quote, I'm sure the real

293
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Kim jong un knows about me because I've been annoying

294
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: him for the last five years or so. I'd be

295
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: pretty disappointed if he doesn't know about me. I think

296
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: it would be hilarious if he didn't know. I'm just like, what, no,

297
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's stupid. It sounds like some nonsense. Okay.

298
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: So after that first Israeli burger ad that got him

299
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: started that, Howard X gets asked to do more gigs, right,

300
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: so he's next time he's asked to come to La.

301
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: He and Dennis Rodman were going to do an ad

302
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: for a pistachio company. You're kidding me, yeah, because I

303
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: think the theme there is nuts. I don't know. Did

304
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: they do that? No, he couldn't get it sorted out.

305
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: Rodman did it with another look alike. He couldn't. He could.

306
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that sounds familiar. Yeah, so well

307
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: let's take a little break. Yeah, man, After this we'll

308
00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: get back to him getting into saving dissident lookalikes. Elizabeth.

309
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm Elizabeth and I am Elizabeth. Well, we're back and

310
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: I got more for you. Right, Oh my god, We're

311
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: back again. Go ahead, where do I start? Oh? December

312
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Do you remember it? Well? Yeah, kind of Yeah,

313
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Well I don't so December twenty thirteen, coward X my man.

314
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: He decides he didn't get himself involved in the protests.

315
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what, I've had enough of this

316
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Chinese People's Republic of China nonsense. They are getting up

317
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: in my grill and I'm going to speak out about it. Okay.

318
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: So he went on there and he joined himself into

319
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: the protests in Hong Kong. Gets in Hong Kong, by

320
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: the way, he goes down and he wanted to protest

321
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: China's decision to send North Korean defector back to North Korea.

322
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: They had escaped China cotum or they made it into

323
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: China times, we're gonna send it back North Korea. So

324
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong they were like, we gotta protest. That's

325
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: that's why defectors try and get to Mongolia because Mongolia

326
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: will send to South Korea. Very good. Yeah, So the

327
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: next time he decided to get involved in the protest movement,

328
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: still in Hong Kong, he goes with the Umbrella movement,

329
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: which was the pro democracy right movement against the Chinese.

330
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: Announced elections was for twenty seventeen, so this time we're

331
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. But the elections were coming up right,

332
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: and they were announcing them. Some people are like, no,

333
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: you cannot take over Hong Kong system. So he's out

334
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: there in the protests dressed as Kim Jong h whenomena

335
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: firing up the people, right. So he didn't go as

336
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: Howard X Now, he went as Kim John exactly. He

337
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: didn't go as like voter and involved citizen. No, he

338
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: went out there as political satirists. Stunter. So he's out

339
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: there on the front lines of the protest and then

340
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: he gets into this. He's like, you know what, I'm

341
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: good for this. The people feel me. I can rally

342
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: the troops. So he heads down to Singapore because the

343
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: real Kim John is going to have a like a

344
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: summit meeting with President Donald Trump. So he's like, I

345
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: gotta be there. Oh yeah, He's like, I'm gonna mix

346
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: it up. So he manages to get some and I

347
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: quote mall and seafood restaurant to pay for him to

348
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: go down and promote them. I guess I don't know

349
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: two things and not all one thing, just one giant

350
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: seod restaurant with like a hot topic in the middle

351
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: of it, Chess King. It's like, yeah, I don't want

352
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: to pick on malls. They're yeah, malls were once fun. Anyway.

353
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: So he gets down to Singapore. Howard X was stopped

354
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: at the airport and he gets detained because now he's

355
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: a political activist, and his bags are searched and he

356
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: quote is grilled on his political stance. The authorities decided

357
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: to let him into the country, but they tell him, look,

358
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: you need to stay as far away as possible from

359
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un and Donald Trump, and he's like, all right, bet,

360
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I'll totally do that. He did not do that. So

361
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: he goes he's were in Singapore, and he goes out

362
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: there with a Donald Trump impersonator. So he and Trump

363
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: impersonator are pretending to be like sightseeing. So some people

364
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: are like being quick convinced it's really them because they're

365
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: really on the island anyway. So it's a whole mess.

366
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: So could you imagine if Donald Trump and Kim Jong il,

367
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: like we're all holding hands going on a tour. Oh yeah,

368
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: I totally can trying to process, but seeing them, no,

369
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I cannot do that part. No, well, let's see A

370
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: couple years later, he decides, you know what, I love

371
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: this whole, like, you know, going right at Kim Jong owns.

372
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: So when they had the peon Chang Winter Olympics in

373
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, he's like, I'm going there. I got to

374
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: be there front and center. He gets there and he

375
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: sees this group of North Korean cheerleaders and he's dressed

376
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: as Kim Jong oh. Whenomenon he goes out and he

377
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: shakes his money maker with the cheerleaders. People get pissed.

378
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: North Korean officials come over and they basically beat up

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: to their dear fake leader. You can't do that. That's

380
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: also good footage to have North Korean speeding up their dictator.

381
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay. According to Howard X, he said, I thought

382
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders were hogging the spotlight and I wanted to

383
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: take the piss out of them. North Korean agents pushed

384
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: me around. I was assaulted. Lucky, that's it now. I

385
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: almost wanted to do him with an Australian accent because

386
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: that's where he did his job. Say he has an

387
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Australian okay, will I don't know. We'll just establish that

388
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: as cannon cannon okay. So in twenty nineteen, he travels

389
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: Howard next travels to Hannoi, Vietnam, and because Trump and

390
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Oon are scheduled to have a second summit

391
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: meetings Vietnam. Remember that. So Howard X and a Trump

392
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: impersonator go wandering around the streets. Again this is confusing

393
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: tourists and locals alike. Like what that was going on?

394
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: So he goes. He gives an interview to a local

395
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: Vietnamese TV station as like Kim Jong Oon, I know

396
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: where you're going. The police confront him and they detain

397
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: him on camera. Didn't hand the Trump and impersonator. They

398
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: get pulled away, they get questioned. The police tell him, look,

399
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: there's only way, one way you get to stay in

400
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: this country. You got to take off all this Kim

401
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: Jong Oon, get up up, and you gotta go hire

402
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: a proper guide and put some money back into tourist economy.

403
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: And there he's like, I'm not doing no. What did

404
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: he say? He says, Oh, I'll do this. I'm getting

405
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: out of you a blooming country. I'm getting back to

406
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: a proper nation. Yes. So the authorities they go, all right,

407
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna take that attitude Kim Jong Um. We're gonna

408
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: have to let you stay in the country. So they

409
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: tell him his visa is valid. But then there, you

410
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: know what, we changed our mind. He's like, what you

411
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: just tell me I could stay and they're like, yeah,

412
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: we're tricking you. He's like, oh damn it. They're like, yeah,

413
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: it's invalid. So they kick him out of the country.

414
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: They tell him you need to get the hell out

415
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: of Vietnam. He's like, I was already on my way. Now.

416
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: Howard actually goes back to his hotel and he stays

417
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: there for a few days in Vietnam. In Vietnam, his

418
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: way out of the country is to stay in his

419
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: hotel for a few days. He just hides in his hotel.

420
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: So a few days past Boomy, here's a knocker. He goes, oh, no,

421
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: it's the police. And of course it's the police. So

422
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: they tell him like the like the actual police officers.

423
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: It's Gordon Sumner ak Sting and he shows him. He's like,

424
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: you need to go, and he's like, oh man, I

425
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: love you. So anyway, I love the fever dream version

426
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: of all this. So the police tell Howard X, look, man,

427
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: it's time to go back to your nation of Islam

428
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: or wherever it is you come from, mister X. So

429
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: that they escort him to the airport and they make

430
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: sure he goes back to Hong Kong. Right. So then

431
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: at the airport, Howard X he runs into some reporters.

432
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: I think he called the reporters. Anyway, he runs into

433
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: some reporters. He's like, look, satire is a powerful weapon

434
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: against any dictator ship. They are skid of a couple

435
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: of guys. It look like the real thing. So okay, well,

436
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: that's the Howard X before this is to give you

437
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: the full picture. Now you're ready to see how this

00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: man gets involved in international politics in a war zone. Okay, Elizabeth,

441
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Howard X was watching the news man.

442
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Like most of us, he was focused on Russia's invasion

443
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: of Ukraine. Yeah, and he all of a sudden, he's like,

444
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: he sees the comedian turn President of Ukraine, Volidomator Zolinski

445
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: become WoT the enemies number one targets right as he

446
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: bravely and defiantly is marshaling his country to fight the aggressor.

447
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: And you remember him out in the street TikTok videos

00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: and stuff, and just like super heave a couple and

452
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: I was like, he gets it. Yeah, So anyway, he

453
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: sees all this and he starts thinking, you know, like

454
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: most of us Howard X was moved by this, and

455
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: he's like thinking, like what can I do to help

456
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people Slava Ukraine? Right, And he's like getting

457
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: onto it, and he starts thinking about a friend of

458
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: his who is as a Lensky look alike. So he's like,

459
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: what did he meet him in the network like a

462
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: and the Ukraine, imitating the man who would eventually become

463
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: the enemies number one target. Right, So this is Lensky

464
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: look alike. He was in Kiev and he's like taking

465
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: shelter as like the missiles and the and the artillery

466
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: shells are hitting, right, And this dude looks so much

467
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: like Zelinsky that Howard X is like, I gotta get

468
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: him out of there, right, Like we weren't the Russians

469
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: sending assassins in like funny few days. It was like, yeah,

470
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: he was the number one target they if they could

471
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: take him out. You know this Becky yes, walking around

472
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: he looks exactly like the number one target. But this

473
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: poor innocent who's Becky man, He's just like about to

474
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: become Russia's number one target. He had time to get

475
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: out before this was happening. He does. He's not like

476
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: a wealthy look alike. He's like doing we walked to Poland. True. True,

477
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: this is true. And the thing with the look as

478
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: put a hat on, in some sunglasses and like grow

479
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: a beard. I'll get into that. He doesn't even work.

480
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: He looks that much like him. So anyway, so the

481
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: guy's worried about the missiles air strikes, right, and so

482
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: he's he is trying to escape, but it's not easy.

483
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: He is a broke look alike. He basically is like

484
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: when he's not a lookalike. He is a car painter.

485
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: He paints cars like used cars. That's what the dudes

486
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: he's not like, you know, he's got like some luggage.

487
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: He's got to get out of there. He's not like going, oh,

488
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: let me go pop in my ride. I'm gonna head

489
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: off to Radoslava. You know, you're like, Okay, So dude

490
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: is like sitting there and Howard X knows that he's like,

491
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: oh man, as you pointed out, the Russian soldiers are

492
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: gonna want to like grab this dude. And if they

493
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: don't kill him just on site. But they also could

494
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: make videos with him. They can make propaganda. They could

495
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: confuse people with a TikTok video that shows Zolensky leaving,

496
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: or make him say like, look, I've decided to give

497
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: up the country. Whatever. He would be a really powerful

498
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: weapon of propaganda or misinformation. So Howard X is like,

499
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: I gotta get my friend out of Kiev. Right, So

500
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: this dude, I should tell you his name. He kept saying,

501
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: my friend, his name is umed Isebayev. Right. And Umasabayev

502
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: is from as I said, Zubekistan. He was living in

503
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: Russia and he was just sitting there reminding his own

504
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: business when somebody snaps a photo of him on the subway.

505
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: The photo goes viral and he looks so much like

506
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Zelinski what I told you he was. Zelinsky was the

507
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: star of a TV show. It was called Servant of

508
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: the People, where he played a president and this is

509
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: basically what qualified him to run for president. But he

510
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: plays his role as the president of Ukraine, and the

511
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: show was so impressed when they saw pictures of umed

512
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: they had him fly to Ukraine and become his body

513
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: double for the show. Whoa yeah, like Darren, Yeah, I'm

514
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: saying it. He was like for real, that like spot

515
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: On or they're like, oh yeah, we can just happen

516
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: like whenever it's Lensky's tired, what was happening to sit there?

517
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: But light a little bit, they'll be perfect, right, He's

518
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: like a decoyl Yeah, pretty much. So Howard X and

519
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Uma they had known each other because there was a

520
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Russian documentary about lookalikes around the world, right, So they

521
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: were both in the same documentary. So they gotten to

522
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: know each other. So wouldn't Russian invades of Ukraine. Howard

523
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: X is thinking about Uma, and he's like, okay, I

524
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: know the political valuable lookalike like me and Umed. I'm

525
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to get him out there. I gotta take

526
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: away this weapon from Putin. So as he was on

527
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: the podcast Snap Judgment, and Howard X told this podcast quote,

528
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: I want to take that chess piece out of Putin's hand.

529
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: It's only a small piece, but I believe it's an

530
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: important one. And also he's wanting me try. So his

531
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: mind made of Howard X owns his friend Umed and

532
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: who's by the way, still in Kiev, right, and he's like,

533
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,199

00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: this is his unique problem. But I have one hell

537
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: of a solution. I've got a Vladimir Putin look alike.

Speaker 1: lives in Warsaw And, which is pretty close to Ukraine.

00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: got to hit up all the haunted houses and seriously,

605
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: how rough is that? Like, well, some monarchy dies in

606
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: your whole career is done, Like that's what. Then they

607
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: all have to go back to Imposter Island and like

608
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: regroup the Island of Lost live on Imposter Island. I

609
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: like that most dangerous game go on Hunter Impostures. So

610
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: anyway back to Howard asking Steve Poland. So there's one

611
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: fact I forgot to tell you about Howard, Steve and Umid.

612
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: None of them speak the same language, so they're doing

613
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: Also how Umid speaks Uzbek in Russian. Okay, Steve Poland

614
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: speaks Polish, and Howard he speaks English and Cantonese. So

615
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: they're doing all of their communicating through Google Translate. And

616
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: also they how great is the putin in person or

617
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: doesn't speak Russian? So they to zoom phone calls but

618
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: are like typing messages and translating the message, but typing.

619
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: There's a reason why they have to get on Zoom.

620
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: There's a very good reason, and I'll get into that

621
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: in one second. Let's let's think of breaking I'm sorry,

622
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about like how this seek it's

623
00:31:45,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: even wilder. Okay, Elizabeth, you asked a very good question,

624
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: which is why would three people who don't speak the

625
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: same language use a video call to communicate? Yeah, and

626
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: I have an answer for you because Boomed needed to

627
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: trust them, okay, to know that it was actually them. Yes,

628
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: so this lookalike waterer top on a zoom call with

629
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: another look alike, so we could see if that person

630
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: was who they claimed to be yea and not a lookalike.

631
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: But that's what he needed to see if they were.

632
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: The person's like, are you the impostor and not the

633
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: impostor the impostor exactly? Yes, I can't have a look

634
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: aike of a lookalike. No, that would mess me up

635
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: and my life would be in dangerous. So he can't

636
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: blame hub It. I mean, he's got people were after him.

637
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: You know, how can you be able to trust him?

638
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: So Howard X, I'll let him pick up the story.

639
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: He told the New York Post he didn't know who

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: we were. He was kind of mistrust him. When I

641
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: called him up, I said, I had to really convince him. Look,

642
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: we're not working for the Russian, we're not working for

643
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: the Ukrainians. We're just impersonitis. So oh man, we called

644
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: this same phone call and he's like, he said, I

645
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: just want to do some good for you. You're in

646
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: danger and I want to save you. This water is

647
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: not going to end tomorrow or the day after, and

648
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to stay here. It's better

649
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: if we get you out of Kiev. So I told him, first,

650
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: let me meet you and talk to you so I

651
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: can know if you are who you say you are.

652
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: That makes sense because otherwise it's like, you know, if

653
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm just like Russian army, I could text him and

654
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: be like, hey, exactly, meet me on the corner, Kim

655
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: jong Um, let me help you. Howard's like, you know,

656
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: totally agrees he's with you. The logic makes perfect sense

657
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: to him. He's like, I told him, look, you can

658
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: see me in the video and you'll know what I

659
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: look like, and you can see the guy who plays Putin.

660
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: We just want to save you because we can see

661
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: to you a colleague, and because the Russians were actually

662
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: after him. So at this point it made quote called

663
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: like Howard telling him, I'm not forcing you to trust

664
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: me to your choice, right. So it's like, okay, I

665
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: think to myself, and he decides he's gonna trust Howard

666
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: X as umed put it, he knew politics and politicians.

667
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: He was able to explain to them and to me

668
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: that I believed them. He told the truth. I thought,

669
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: maybe Allah has given them me a chance to leave

670
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: this place. So he decides this is a god given sign.

671
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: This Kim Jong un impersonator. God truly works through mysterious ways.

672
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: So Howard reaches back out to Steve Poland for help

673
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: and he's like, okay, Now the two local x put

674
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: their very famous looking facists and heads together and they

675
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: come up with a plan to do an evac operation. Now,

676
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: Steve Poland, he knows folks in the Ukrainian resistance and

677
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: the Polish underground helping the Ukrainian resistance, so he's like, look,

678
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: I need you to contact some people they work at

679
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: all out, he contacts the national Ukrainian National Guard and

680
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: he gets a car arranged to send over to them

681
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: to meet Umt in Kiev. Right, So the plan is

682
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: that they then take him to a safe house about

683
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: a hundred kilometers or clicks outside of Kiev, and there

684
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: he would chill and be safe until Steve Poland could

685
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: cross the border and come and get him. I wish

686
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: they would have like a video where Steve Poland runs

687
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: out and embraces him and like everyone's seeing it because

688
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: it's being broadcast live on TV of put Zalinski hugging. Oh.

689
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: So Steve Poland tells his contact, the mission is a go,

690
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: the car is sent to go rescue Umed, and when

691
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: it arrives, Umed is a no show. This is bad

692
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: because Howard is bad. Howard X knows right where he is.

693
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: He's been paying for his hotel room, he's been paying

694
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: for like, you know, all his life costs, so he

695
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: knows where he is. He's like, huh, maybe he's been killed.

696
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: So it turns out he was not killed. Ummed was

697
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: still alive. But does Zelinski look like he's kg He

698
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: was being actively followed around by Russian troops or you know,

699
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: like basically menacing him all the time, so he's like

700
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: super sketch mode, right, And as Umed told snap judgment,

701
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody else in the world except my father.

702
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: I had some people close to me and Kiev who

703
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: took me under the protection. They said, let us check

704
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: the vehicle that comes to pick you up. They didn't

705
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: want some strange driver to give me the Russian soldiers.

706
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: They said they would check the vehicle and the driver first,

707
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: and I should tell them. I wasn't told. So he

708
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: does exactly that, right, And so these folks didn't trust

709
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: the driver and they kiboshed the meeting. So the car

710
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: goes away, Yeah, more days past. Howard X is like,

711
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: what the hell he's constantly trying to reach Uma. Do

712
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: you get him out of this like war zone? So

713
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: so as he later on recall, so we had to

714
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: talk to him, I said, what the hell, man, Nicole

715
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: was latent for you there, man, We had to pull

716
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: a lot of strings to get this guy. So he's

717
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: like serious because like he's working through Steve poland they're

718
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: working through the Ukrainian resistance or trying to get a

719
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: car to him and the war zone. It works, and

720
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: then he's not there, so like, what are we gonna do?

721
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: So but Howard X's patient. He tells Steve Paul and look,

722
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: the guy needs to trust us. This is a problem

723
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: because you know, if we're gonna get him out of Kiev,

724
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: it has to start, which all relationships start with trust. Steve. Yes, yes, Steve.

725
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: They work on him. Also, by the way, the Russian

726
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: forces are drawing closer and closer, and at this point,

727
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Lensky's hiding in a bunk or you know, it's getting

728
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: dicey the city. He can't really cross the city. And

729
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: once again Zolinski look like he definitely can't cross the

730
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: city right right, airstrike happens knocks out the TV tower

731
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: near him too. Now they can't get a phone segment

732
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: into him. More days pass Umed is losing out, like

733
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much any chance to escape. Concerns are

734
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: growing worry. Finally, Howard X is able to use WhatsApp

735
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: to get a hold of him. Right, so he tells

736
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: Steve Poland, get on the video found get on the WhatsApp.

737
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: We need to do a video call so he can

738
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: see you. Right, So you get Steve Poland to hop

739
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: on the video call with Umed. Now, just to paint

740
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: the scene for you, we have a Putin look alike

741
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: on a zoom call with a Kim jong Um look

742
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: alike desperately trying to convince the Zolensky look alike to

743
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: trust them both. Now, Howard, they able to tell the

744
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: snap judgment quote. We convinced him we are a people

745
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: that he can trust. We're just impersonators drawing to help

746
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: you out. We're not working for the Ukrainians, We're not

747
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: working for the Russians. We're just drawing to help you out.

748
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: They represent imposter islands exactly. Fly under the flag of

749
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: Imposter Island. Once he look in there look alike eyes.

750
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: Umed could trust them. He was like Allahs made me

751
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: trust him. So he decides boom and now time is

752
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: of the essence. So Howard X is Steve polled and

753
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: they coordinate a second ride. They worked their channels in

754
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: the underground. This is like a war movie, I'm telling you.

755
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: Umed is there this time when the car arrives, and

756
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: this time he gets in the car. The next day

757
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: the whole area is destroyed, so he basically just escapes, right.

758
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: So Umed manages his escape and he's trying to get

759
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: across the Ukraine. He gets on a minibus with a

760
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: bunch of other refugees. COVID's popping off at this time, right,

761
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 1: So everybody is on this minibus wearing masks, and Umed

762
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: is also wearing sunglasses, and but he's in the Ukraine,

763
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: and everybody know the Ukraine knows what was Zelinski looks like.

764
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: He's also the most famous man in the world at

765
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: this moment. So the refugees recognize their president and they

766
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: believe it's really him, So they start to accuse Umed

767
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: of trying to flee the Ukraine because they're convinced he's

768
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: trying to get out exactly, and he's like no, no, no, no.

769
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: So umed tells a little star and he's like the

770
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: driver recognized me first, and then all the women in

771
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: the car eventually recognize me. They said, you are Zelensky,

772
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: and that's why you don't want to take off your mask.

773
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: You want to know how regular people are being evacuated.

774
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, So eventually he's able to tom down the

775
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: other refugees and tell them, look, I'm not the president,

776
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: but they still just won't believe him. He has to

777
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: find his passport and he shows him as Uzbeky passport

778
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: and they're like okay, okay, they're like, oh, you bought

779
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: that to get out of the country. Well, they were

780
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: asking you, like, what are your plans to end the ward.

781
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: He's like, it's not me, I'm not Zalinski, right, They

782
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: were like harping on him. Imagine being stuck in a

783
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: minibus while all these people who are fleeing they're blaming you.

784
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: They're in the most stressful time of their lives. Yeah. Well, also,

785
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: by the way, the people, once they're convinced that he

786
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: is not Zealinski, then they tell him what he president

787
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: Zelinski we are standing with you. Even though they think

788
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: and know that he is not, they still can't help themselves.

789
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: They have to tell the symbol we're standing with you. Yeah,

790
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: it feels good. This starts really touching him, and he

791
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: feels really good. Right, So he keeps, you know, basically

792
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: letting the people know that, you know, this is we're

793
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: going to get through this when the nation will rise.

794
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: And so they're having their little moment of rousing. And

795
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: eventually he's able to relax and as much as one

796
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: can on a minibus packed full of refugees, all fading

797
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: a war zone, right, are actually traveling through a war zone.

798
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: But as Luma recalled, thinking quote many many things were

799
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: going through my mind. Where am I going? Are these

800
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: people trustworthy? Are the Russians going to kidnappy? What if

801
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: there is a rocket explosion right next to me? I

802
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: was afraid. At the time, I understood what Zelinski might

803
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: feel as a person, as a president. So he starts

804
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: imagining himself as Zelinsky as he's making his exodus. So

805
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: they look alike. Who has walked or at least now

806
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: driven a mile in another man's shoe, has had this

807
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: idea of what his life may be like, and this

808
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: trip takes days behind you, so he's getting a really

809
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: good idea of what it's like to be Zelinski. And

810
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: they're passing through countless military checkpoints, and at one point

811
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: they run into serious trouble, like serious trouble. But rather

812
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: than me to tell you about Elizabeth, I'd like you

813
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: to close your eyes, yes and picture it. Yes, it's

814
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: a nighttime in Ukraine. It's days into the Russian occupation.

815
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: As tanks with white painted z's stream into the country

816
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: and artillery shells and missile streak overhead. You are working

817
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: as a translator at a military checkpoint, but you're treating

818
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: it like your last job as a Walmart greeter. You've

819
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: been super friendly and you have a smile for everyone.

820
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: You have an effectious Southern warm. And then there's the

821
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: Ukrainian soldiers standing guard in the military checkpoint with you.

822
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: They are, in three words, young and well armed. So

823
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: these soldiers stand on either side of the road, very

824
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: serious faced, and they stop all the vehicles in both directions.

825
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: And then you go and if anybody comes, you try

826
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 1: to help translator, greet them, let them know that it's

827
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: you know you're okay. So someone spots a minibus approaching

828
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: out of the inky darkness and out there beyond that

829
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: pool of lights that the checkpoint is created, and the

830
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: soldiers get ready to clutch weapons. Their eyes go all steely.

831
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: You do the opposite. You get ready a big, warm

832
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: smile for whoever you're about to greet, who is behind

833
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: the wheel of that minibus the approaching many us puts along.

834
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: It's just tootling down the road. But if it gets closer,

835
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: you can tell from how low it's riding on its

836
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: axles that it must be fully loaded down with people.

837
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: And you've seen a lot of buses and cars coming

838
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 1: through loaded down with people. This is not the first

839
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: one at all that most have been cramped stuff with

840
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: people pouring out of the city's headed north to the

841
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: Polish port. Right now, this minibus pulls to a stop

842
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: of the checkpoint, shutters to deeselly kind of Kong Kong,

843
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: like the idol will say. You walk over in case

844
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: there's anyone who needs a translator, and you speak mind

845
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: you English, French, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Russian, a

846
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: few other slav dialects like Serbian and Croatia. You're basically

847
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: a Swiss army knife of Eastern European languages, so you're

848
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: super handy. Well, one of the young, well armed soldiers.

849
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: He approaches the driver's side window and you follow, and

850
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: you're right on his heels, and as the driver the

851
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: minibus rolls down as the window, you hear him finished

852
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: saying to the people. His passengers don't answer any questions,

853
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: just shoot documents. So the soldier asked the driver where

854
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: he's headed, and just after he's finished speaking, you say,

855
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: in a Sunday drop, how y'all do today? Welcome to

856
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: our checkpoint? How is everyone today? And then you repeat

857
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: this in Ukrainian and in Bulgarian and Hungarian, just as

858
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: the sunny and as possible as you can, with the

859
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: same big smile that they deserve. Now the driver seems

860
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: to understand Ukrainian, so he weakly smiles back at you,

861
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: and then he looks back at the soldier and the

862
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: driver breaks his own rule. He answers the soldier. He says,

863
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: the minibuss is headed to Ratislav, which is just over

864
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: the Polish border. You've heard this all day, The soldier nods.

865
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: He asked for the driver's papers, since he doesn't need

866
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: you to translate. You take the moment to look into

867
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: the minibus. It is indeed loaded down with refugees, families.

868
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: There's old and young piled together, luggage on their laps,

869
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: people clinging to their children, their husband and their wife.

870
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a very sad scene. And then you notice a

871
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: familiar face. But it can't be. It couldn't be. That's impossible.

872
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: But the soldier spots it too. You're both start staring

873
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: at the same passenger. The dude looks like Voladimir Zalinski.

874
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: You're like, is the president in this minibus? The soldier

875
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: orders the man close to the front, this guy looked

876
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: like Zelinski to take off his COVID mask and to

877
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: lower his glasses. The man does as instructed, he has to.

878
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: The soldier has a rifle he's very clearly about he's

879
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of itchy to use it. Yeah when he When

880
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: the man lowers his mask, you and the soldier both gasp.

881
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: It's Solsky. It looks just like him. It can't be.

882
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: He's just cruising around with refugees. The soldier can't believe

883
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: his eyes. Is he fleeing? Is the president fleeing? He

884
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: gets angry He looks at you, and then you nod

885
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: in pantomime and your sunny way. Well, I'll be isn't

886
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: that peculiar? He's Zelinsky? You do all this with your face.

887
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: It's amazing, right, incredible. The soldier turns back and he

888
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: orders Presidents Lensky to get out of the minibus. The

889
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: other passengers are getting nervous, so you go and give

890
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: them a few of your mega watt smiles and try

891
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: to call him the situation down, just like Walmart taught you.

892
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: And it seems to be helping, you tell yourself, But

893
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: what war couldn't use just a little more of that

894
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: familiar Walmart warmth, you know when you get down to it. Well,

895
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the soldier he's about to point his rifle into the minibus,

896
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: and you step closer to help start out all this trouble.

897
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, but you see we you well,

898
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: you look collect the president. You aren't President Zelinsky, are you. Now?

899
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're speaking to him in English,

900
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: because clearly the man speak Ukrainian, but you know Zelensky

901
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: speaks English. You think, well, I'll just go with my

902
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: strongest language. But the man in question does is he

903
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: was told by the driver. He doesn't answer your question

904
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: or the soldier's questions. He just hands you paperwork. The

905
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: driver of the minibust, though he speaks up. He says,

906
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: boom it, he is just to look alike. Nothing to

907
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: see here, all right? The soldier at times say nothing

908
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: to see here is a red flag of there is

909
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: something to see. There is definitely something to look at.

910
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to start using that though. When there isn't

911
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: anything like, I'll go out on my house to get

912
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: the garbage cans to pull in, and I see a neighbor.

913
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: Nothing to see here, mister rousler suspicions, and I like that. Well,

914
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: the soldiers like you. So he was like, he's look alike.

915
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: And then the driver repeats back, yes, look alike, and

916
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: then he is Zelinsky Bobby Doubble. And then the driver

917
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: is like, no, he is imitator, like clown, like clown.

918
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: So then the soldier looks over umed one more time

919
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: and then he nods and smiles like clown. Yeah, okay.

920
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: So he reaches into the minibus. He shakes in. You

921
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: are like looking into eyes of President Zolinsky, and let

922
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: me see. We won't let you down. Slava Ukraine. So

923
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: he says, you know, and he lets them go. So

924
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: now you wave goodbye with one of your big smiles,

925
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: Umed and the best just go tootle them back off

926
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: down the road and then you, like you know, have

927
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: a little chuckle to yourself about what almost was, and

928
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: the soldiers to look at you, and then they get

929
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: steely eyed again. I am annoying them. Now, after a

930
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: week on the road, traveling through this active war zone,

931
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: my man Umed manages to get through the country into

932
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: the Polish border, where he has met by Steve Poland

933
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: the Putin look alike. So Zolinsky and the Putin look

934
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: alike meat at the Polish border. According to Steve Poland,

935
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: we have a first hand account. Oh, he went directly

936
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: through the hotel we have the reserve for him and slept.

937
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: He was exhausted. After that, he came through the reception

938
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: area to meet me. I knew what the look like,

939
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: but when he came out, I have to say that

940
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: he looked more like Zalinsky in Parson. We shook hands

941
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: and then we hugged each other. There are some people

942
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: on the reception there area and they looked at us.

943
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: They looked very surprised. Yeah, you got your image and

944
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: putin hugging and people getting like, what the Elizabeth, There's

945
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: a little more story to this story. I know we've

946
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: gotten umed across the board, yes, but I want you

947
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: to know that Howard X, the coordinator, the look alike

948
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: leader of this tribe. This was his second time saving

949
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: somebody from a war torn area who was a look alike. What.

950
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: Just one year prior, Howard X had saved the Afghan

951
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Lee from the Taliban. No, yes, yes, no, yes,

952
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: sow your face look like right now that you know, Okay,

953
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: I need to hear this, Okay. So, just like how

954
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: he saved the Zelinsky look alike from Vladimir Putin's grip,

955
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: he needed to get this Bruce Lee look alike away

956
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: from the Taliban. Although I don't imagine the Taliban was

957
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna use him for propaganda. I don't know why Bruce

958
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Lee is no longer with us in spirit. He is

959
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: always with us on Elizabeth. Is he like on Tupac Island?

960
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: Like didn't really exactly. He's teaching Biggie the moves. He's

961
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: like Biggie like this, and Biggie's got like the tightest

962
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: fist moves now on my on the map, in my

963
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: mind there are all these little islands, exact. I love

964
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: your pasta or your imagination. Yeah, this imagine Bruce Lee

965
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: telling like Biggie holding up his fist, I do not

966
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: hit it hits all by itself. And Biggie's like, WHOA sure.

967
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: So now we have this thing where Bruce Lee look

968
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: like needs to get out of Afghanistan because the Taliban's

969
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: after him. Right. Well, dude's name is Abbas Alizada, right,

970
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: Abbess Alizaidah. So, according to Howard X, Abbus Alizaida is

971
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: quote probably the best Bruce Lee impersonata. I know, I

972
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: don't know how many army he's got, like a standing

973
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: army of eight Bruce Lee in persons exactly. He's my

974
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: first favorite. Who's your third favorite Brucely impersonator? You know? Personally? No.

975
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: So this is also, by the way, I think we've

976
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: pointed out enough, but it should be harped one more time.

977
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: Another member of his tribe. He's got to look after

978
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: his tribe. He's got a responsibility. He's a committed member,

979
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: and I wish more people were like Howard X, Yeah,

980
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: that is true. He just gets up, He's like, I

981
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: gotta save a member of my tribe. So he's I mean,

982
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: it's like but also I like him because he's not

983
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: just to look like, he's more of a due like

984
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: he's a take charge but in a positive Why in

985
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: the world is that Bruce Lee impersonator doing an Afghanistan

986
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: all just killing it, just killing the game. I've looked

987
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: at his photomating. It's impressive. Really, he's really striking. Does

988
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: he give like little exhibitions of I'm so glad you

989
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: asked that question? Yeah, kind of asked that question. Here

990
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: you go. This is Howard X to answer. Not only

991
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: does he look like him, but he spent his whole

992
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: life practicing martial lots. Wow. Yes, he kicks like him too,

993
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: But looking like Bruce Lee or throwing hands like Bruce

994
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: that isn't going to be enough for you against the Taliban.

995
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: So Howard X like, we need to get Afghan Bruce

996
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: Lee out of there, right, So he's like, how do

997
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: you get Afghan Bruce Lee out of Dodge? Well you

998
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: send him money. So he starts, like, you know, basically

999
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: creating this. Well once again, I'll let him tell it,

1000
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: he told ABC Australia quote. He was stuck in cabal

1001
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: and the Taliban was actually looking for him. They tried

1002
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: to go to his house two times to kill him,

1003
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: like it was serious. After Bruce Lee, Afghan Bruce Lee

1004
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 1: because he represents the West. I don't know. I can't

1005
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: quite figure this, okay, but you gotta try pretty hard

1006
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: to kill Afghan Bruce Lee. The dude is pretty kg.

1007
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: So Abus he manages to escape the Taliban hunting parties,

1008
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: and he relies on the money that Howard X is

1009
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: sending him to escape, and Howard X is He told

1010
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: The Washington Post that Afghan Bruce Lee had all of

1011
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: his bank accounts frozen and he had no way to

1012
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: access money, so he's basically just sending him pittances of

1013
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: money to keep him existing, right, They coordinate an exit plan,

1014
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: so after Afghan Bruce Lee's daring escape from his home country,

1015
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: Howard X manages to get him to his second country, Australia,

1016
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: and he gets him in. And last update that I

1017
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: saw Abba Alizada. They Afghan Bruce Lee. He was in

1018
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: a hostel in Australia living with other Afghan refugees and

1019
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: they're all wait list waiting to be repatriated to Australia.

1020
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: So fingers crossed Afghan Bruce Lee will soon be Australia Bruce.

1021
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: We'll see what he does. You know, Howard X, dude

1022
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: Loe always looks out for his members of his tribe.

1023
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: As I've told you, I'm so down for that. But

1024
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: also I think it's kind of funny that none of

1025
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: them asked to look like someone famous, right or even

1026
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: worse yet, to look like someone infamous and notorious, and

1027
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: yet they're able to make it work for them, Like

1028
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: they don't get bitter about this, Like every single one

1029
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: was like, look, I'm gonna find a way to make

1030
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: this work. But Howard X, he goes to furthest with

1031
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: all this. He makes it like, you know, provocative. He

1032
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: becomes like I'm coming after you, kind of like Kim

1033
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: Jong un energy. So he has said, and I quote,

1034
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: I don't get tired of it. In fact, being a

1035
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: political impersonative Kim Jong n I get away with saying

1036
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: things and no other impersonata and nobody else could get

1037
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 1: away with. So he sees himself as being as someone

1038
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: able who could speak truth to power. So more of that.

1039
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's part of a genetic lottery. He exists

1040
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: in that rarefied area. Yeah. So, uh now, if you

1041
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: watch this Howard X space, I would recommend that because

1042
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: you may be seeing a lot more of him and

1043
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: his tribe of lookalikes. Because, according to his Facebook page,

1044
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: Howard X is quote currently as Samblan, a satirical boy band,

1045
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: fake your and impersonate as a Putini ping and him

1046
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: me myself as Kim Jong. I am called the Tyrants

1047
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: a boy band. Keep your eye out for the time

1048
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: man band. If you're also wondering about Uhmed and does

1049
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: Lensky look alike? He is doing well. He is in Poland,

1050
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: and my man Steve Poland says he stays in touch

1051
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: with him. So thanks, I see, I'm almost every day

1052
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: we are friends somewhere in the world. Fake Putin and

1053
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: fakes Lensky are sharing a laugh. Just makes you happy.

1054
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: That's all I got for you. Ridiculous takeaway. My ridiculous

1055
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: takeaway is I suppose if you look like someone famous

1056
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: or infamous, lean into it. Myans things would be to

1057
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: do whatever you can to make yourself not look like that,

1058
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: because I'm sure they get harassed. Kestard, I should say

1059
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: everywhere they go. Yeah, so, Zarin, what's your ridiculous takeaway? Well,

1060
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: I used to look a lot like Bob Marley, or

1061
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: to the point that if I left my house, someone

1062
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: would tell me, Hey, no one ever told you look

1063
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: like Bob Marley. I got it for years, right, so

1064
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: much so that my friends came up with a nickname

1065
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: Izzy Marley, so they would call me Izzy Marley, like

1066
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: is he Marley? Right? So I very much well understand

1067
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: what they went through. And I can just say this,

1068
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: make it work for you. And you know, if women

1069
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: find you sexy, definitely make that work for you. You You

1070
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,959
Speaker 1: can be like a double for a fantasy. You heard

1071
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: that Steve Poland, see Poland, make it work for you.

1072
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: All the women who want to get that putin on

1073
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: top of them, get that dictator climbing up on top

1074
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: of them making sexy faces. They're out there. Rule thirty four.
