00:00:00.000 In the space you're in, by the way, you said your background, Azerbaijan, Baku.
00:00:04.100 Is it true it's half Jewish, half Muslim?
00:00:06.300 Yes.
00:00:06.680 Well, my mother's Jewish.
00:00:07.720 I was raised Jewish.
00:00:09.240 You know, my dad never told me anything about the religion.
00:00:12.160 But then I found the Koran in the house, you know, when I was 15.
00:00:16.400 And I'm like, oh, I guess so.
00:00:18.720 Are you Muslim, Dad?
00:00:20.040 And he said, yeah.
00:00:21.460 You found out the first time he was Muslim at 15.
00:00:23.980 Yes.
00:00:24.340 Your parents are still together.
00:00:25.540 They're not together anymore.
00:00:26.960 But they separate like when I was 25.
00:00:29.100 So they were together for 25 some years.
00:00:31.300 Yeah.
00:00:31.440 Maybe even a little longer.
00:00:32.580 Yeah.
00:00:33.260 Like 30.
00:00:33.860 Jewish and Muslim.
00:00:34.860 Yeah.
00:00:35.460 How did that happen?
00:00:36.260 Well, you know, the Soviet Union, it wasn't very a religious state, you know.
00:00:40.400 So religion didn't play a factor back then.
00:00:42.560 You were just all communist, I guess.
00:00:44.940 So communism was above religion.
00:00:46.560 Yeah.
00:00:46.880 Yeah.
00:00:47.120 Yeah, absolutely.
00:00:47.860 Interesting.
00:00:48.460 So, I mean, genetic wise, that's like perfect to get into jewelry, no?
00:00:52.680 I suppose so.
00:00:53.740 So, I mean, I'm happy with it, you know, because it gives me an open-minded perspective
00:00:57.460 on faith, you know, whether it's Christianity or anything.
00:01:02.520 And that's it.
00:01:04.640 You know, I mean, my sister, I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to say it anyway because
00:01:08.360 it bothered me.
00:01:09.340 My sister's like, don't say you're half Muslim because, you know, because she's an Orthodox
00:01:12.900 Jewish. 1.00
00:01:14.020 And the people in her area, you know, Muslim is like a terrorist. 1.00
00:01:18.620 I'm like, I don't give a shit what they think. 1.00
00:01:21.240 You know what I'm saying? 0.99
00:01:21.860 Like, you know, some of these Orthodox people, they're like, Muslim are scared.
00:01:26.660 You know what I'm saying? 0.98
00:01:27.580 Or like, I'm like, that's disgusting. 0.91
00:01:29.580 That's disgusting behavior. 0.81
00:01:31.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:01:31.900 Judging a person because you're scared of what they, what they look like or what their
00:01:35.360 name is. 1.00
00:01:36.000 All these fucking labels. 1.00
00:01:37.040 Listen, man, these are all lines on a map. 1.00
00:01:39.800 And I get a lot of that.

00:01:44.000 Or I'm here.
00:01:44.360 Or someone messaged me in a DM.
00:01:46.620 And, you know, don't be blaming us for genocide. 1.00
00:01:49.980 And I'm like, shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:01:52.860 Okay. 1.00

00:02:00.860 You don't know where these people from and who they, you know, got together with, hooked
00:02:05.020 up with 300 years ago on what line or what border.

00:05:17.380 That's pretty much the worst.
00:05:17.900 I mean, that doesn't happen.
00:05:18.620 You know, listen, everything revolves around money. 0.97

00:05:29.300 Okay.
00:05:30.080 It's either a robbery or it could be a brawl over something because somebody is just blatantly 0.99
00:05:36.300 stealing or, you know, give me my shit and people raise their voice. 1.00
00:05:40.280 But no one is as low as this dumbass bastard right here, spitting in my face and then running 1.00

00:05:54.500 And then his brother is like, you know what it is? 1.00
00:05:57.440 Watch his brother's hand as he puts it on my neck right there.
00:05:59.940 Like, once you start to play that, press play and I start to move right there, he has
00:06:05.760 his hand on my neck.
00:06:06.560 You see that?
00:06:07.060 Yeah.

00:06:11.840 This dumbass bastard, Fred, you put your hand on my neck. 1.00
00:06:15.880 That's why I slapped him right across his face. 1.00
00:06:18.120 His brother spits on me and he pushes me. 0.99
00:06:20.140 They think they own you.
00:06:21.460 We're the landlord.

00:06:23.860 Yeah, you own me. 1.00
00:06:24.840 You fucking dumb motherfucker. 1.00
00:06:26.420 I'm sorry to lose my temper over here, bro. 1.00
00:06:28.420 But you know what I'm saying?
00:06:29.220 They did the notion and you're not a landlord, bro.
00:06:33.200 You bought into an exchange.
00:06:34.680 Collect your portion and get the hell out of there, bro.
00:06:37.100 You're banned.
00:06:38.280 They're walking out in handcuffs. 1.00
00:06:39.920 These stupid bastards. 1.00
00:06:41.180 The father and the two sons. 1.00
00:06:42.580 And then he turns to me. 1.00
00:06:44.120 He's like this fucking idiot, Fred. 1.00
00:06:46.220 And he turns to me and he goes, eviction is coming. 1.00
00:06:50.840 First and foremost.
00:06:51.800 Yeah.
00:06:52.080 How many years are you in America?

00:07:22.840 Shout out to the NYPD.
00:07:26.620 Smiling.
00:07:30.080 But what I'm saying is if a guy does that to anybody,
00:07:34.640 I would never do business with a guy like that.
00:07:36.840 I don't know the guy.
00:07:37.780 I don't know the first time I'm learning about him.
00:07:39.380 His name is George and the brother, Fred.
00:07:41.860 Yeah.
00:07:43.440 I would never do business with some.
00:07:44.980 That has got to be the worst.
00:07:46.180 And by the way, is that the last guy that's being walked out, the father? 0.99
00:07:48.480 I never did that in my fucking life. 0.99
00:07:49.940 Yeah. 0.99

00:07:52.940 So that's the 42-year-old brother. 1.00
00:07:55.020 That's Fred.
00:07:55.720 Yeah.
00:07:56.340 And then that's the father.
00:07:57.460 Yeah.
00:07:58.320 Got it.
00:07:58.940 Yeah. 1.00
00:07:59.680 Father is the fucking worst. 1.00
00:08:01.700 The father is the one who raised his kids. 1.00
00:08:04.640 Someone translate this shit to the father so you know what the fuck to do. 1.00
00:08:08.540 Yeah. 1.00
00:08:09.160 I mean, the spitting part is where it got to me.
00:08:13.140 I'm like, too much out of control.

00:08:30.480 $60,000 a month, not a little amount of money.
00:08:34.240 I ride an electric scooter to work.
00:08:37.320 Okay?
00:08:37.720 Because I like to go through the traffic or whatever.

00:08:45.360 Okay?
00:08:45.680 Now I drive or whatever in the car because it's cold.
00:08:48.140 But I like to ride in the summer because I like to get the exercise, you know, from
00:08:51.340 Queens or whatever. 0.96
00:08:52.040 I just like it.
00:08:52.940 Right?
