Like my opinions sort of change as I'm learning more stuff about life.
00:00:09.080
I would like to think that there's an afterlife.
00:00:12.540
When I was a kid, my grandma told me that, you know, there was,
00:00:15.900
and that all my great-grandparents were there watching the Phillies games,
00:00:23.480
I was like, oh, that sounds great because they're losing right now.
00:00:34.140
Anyways, I think to myself, like, man, what makes me different from all these
00:00:41.820
Is there something special about the human spirit that allows us to occupy
00:00:47.880
Well, listen, I don't know if you ever watched Charlie All Dogs Go to Heaven.
00:00:54.760
I don't know about cats, but I think all dogs go to heaven.
00:00:57.980
But do they get their own specific heaven, or are they with us?
00:01:02.620
I can't imagine going to heaven and not seeing dogs.
00:01:04.600
So dogs are the only species in heaven or all other domesticated pet breeds?
00:01:09.820
That's a pay grade that I haven't reached at level 32 or 33 to know if they're going to be there or not.
00:01:18.360
I'm hoping they're going to be there because we love animals.
00:01:20.300
But if my dad's version of faith to him, he is hoping animals don't go to heaven
00:01:30.420
Because my dad is a clean freak, and God forbid an animal touches him.
00:01:36.060
Till today, his mother, my grandmother, had 12 cats, 2 dogs, 2 parrots, 12 birds, 2 snakes.
00:01:43.740
All her kids love dogs and animals except for my dad.
00:01:50.540
So my dad's depiction of heaven, it's just human beings.
00:01:57.740
You don't have something you believe in right now.
00:01:59.840
I'd like to have some sort of ecstatic religious experience.
00:02:05.780
You know, the way, the journey you're going on is so awesome that I'm really curious to know who you are three years from now, six years from now.
00:02:16.680
But sincerely, I want to know where you're going to be 10 years from now.
00:02:19.800
You know, there are certain people you watch who are coming up and you're like, I think this guy's going to change a lot of times.
00:02:33.600
He was one of the reasons why Trump got elected.
00:02:35.360
They hug each other at UFC as if they're best friends.
00:02:39.500
When I was on Rogan's podcast, he's like, I'll never have, you know.
00:02:42.960
He was thinking about it, but at one point he told Lex I'll never have him on.
00:02:50.160
I think last week Rogan just said, I'm no longer drinking alcohol.
00:02:58.540
Like, you know, I used to spend so much time socializing, it became like a second job.
00:03:06.540
And I just have much more time on my hands, much more emotional regulation.
00:03:09.780
That's why I'm putting up three videos a week now as opposed to one.
00:03:12.100
I wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning, I've been running, get to work, edit, put something out.
00:03:18.820
One thing I wanted to ask you, wait, what'd you say?
00:03:22.060
I edit my own videos mostly, but I have a new team of editors.
00:03:33.800
He edited the video about West Virginia Greyhound racing.
00:03:36.760
I wanted to ask you though, what religion was your father?
00:03:46.540
But remember, my dad's a Syrian and my mother's Armenian.
00:04:05.420
You're walking on eggshells under Khomeini when you were a Christian at my time.
00:04:11.520
It was, you couldn't go out and be too public about it.
00:04:16.400
See, there's a couple things when, you know, you talk about Iran and you talk about America.
00:04:22.460
And for me, when you grow up as a kid, you're like, whoa, why can't I be a Christian here?
00:04:29.660
Why is this so judgmental and unsafe and you've got to be careful and all this other stuff?
00:04:34.540
And then you come to America, you're like, yeah, you're a Muslim?
00:04:50.220
You want to, so it's like, you know, it allows you to do it.
00:04:54.420
Nowadays, more than ever, the brand you wear reflects and represents who you are.
00:04:59.040
So for us, if you wear a Future Looks Bright hat or a Valuetainment gear, you're telling the world, I'm optimistic.
00:05:06.980
I'm excited about what's going to be happening.
00:05:11.140
And by the way, last year, 120,000 people got a piece of Future Looks Bright gear with Valuetainment.
00:05:24.800
Just yesterday, somebody placed an order for a hundred of these.
00:05:28.780
If you watch the PBD podcast, you got a bunch to choose from.
00:05:34.160
If you smoke cigars and you come to our cigar lounge, we have this high quality lighter cutter and a holder for the cigars.
00:05:42.700
We got sweaters with the Valuetainment logo on it.
00:05:46.160
We got a bunch of different things, but if you believe the future looks bright, if you follow our content and what we represent with Valuetainment, with PBD podcast, go to vtmerge.com.
00:05:57.900
And by the way, if you order right now, there's going to be a special VT gift insight just for you.
