None of us think anything of it afterwards because we haven't said anything that is remotely classified confidential or something that you haven't got from these Google sort of sheets.

There's nothing that any of us thought was

you know, remotely wrong with talking at this thing.

And anything we said, even the stuff they've quoted in the indictment against me, it's all public knowledge.

I didn't tell them anything that they couldn't have found on Google, like, easily.

Virgil, myself, and another, an Italian guy called Fabio, who was on the trip with us, we bought those North Korean mouth suits.

And we wore them to the conference as a joke.

Whereas the US have said that we were wearing them because we were some sort of officials.

That's absolutely not true.

It was just a joke.

That's how big a joke this whole thing was.

So maybe it obviously was a silly joke, but I always thought if anyone has a common sense and they look at the evidence of this, they'll just see it for what it is.

It was a joke.

We come back to the hotel that night.

They were like, look, that was a really great conference.

We had a great time.

And I'm thinking you didn't like none of us had a great time, but okay.

And they took us to the fairground in Pyongyang, which is quite fun, actually.

And then they took us for a Korean barbecue dinner.

Right.
