00:00:44.240 they're laughing at me so everybody has his own thing you know yeah that's why so
00:00:50.000 uh we work on it you know everybody has his own but you have the one skill set that's very hard
00:00:56.640 our month you have you have a so you know currency isn't isn't differing you know bitcoin could be a
00:01:03.580 currency real estate is a currency right stocks is a currency all this stuff is a currency
00:01:08.700 getting attention is a currency and dude you are a master at getting attention and you do it in the
00:01:15.880 most effortless way and that currency people pay there's a reason why for super bowl they pay 10
00:01:24.620 million dollars for a 30 second commercial to get in front of 110 million people and you don't have
00:01:29.640 a problem doing that yeah um what about bitcoin it's at 65 70 000 right now you know if it goes
00:01:38.080 to half a million that's 8x you know i think if you're making money you gotta rob it went up 3.4
00:01:47.500 percent today yes sir really interesting do you buy bitcoins i have bitcoin i have bitcoin i uh
00:01:55.120 you know not a lot though i probably have less than five million in bitcoin uh but my money is

00:02:10.180 russia by the best real estate in russia tell me why safety safety and it never fall so it's going
00:02:18.600 up so so really yeah russia real estate yeah and if you have a friends who is the developers
00:02:25.380 and they give you good price and you can make and you can double your money in one year in russia
00:02:32.920 in russia so if you want to make money let me know we make money there let's do it so we're gonna
00:02:38.580 We're going to buy property in Russia together.
00:02:40.980 This means...
00:02:41.480 No, no, no.
00:02:41.940 For example, like, sorry to interrupt you.
00:02:44.380 For example, you buy a commercial or a house, right?
00:02:46.980 Here, you got to wait like 20 years.
00:02:49.180 For example, you buy a commercial, $100,000, for example.
00:02:54.620 And you give it to rent.
00:02:57.040 You're getting back your money in 20 years here.
00:03:02.820 But in Russia, you get back in eight years.
00:03:06.000 Eight to ten.
00:03:06.620 how is that
00:03:08.880 you're saying the rate of return is that good in Russia
00:03:11.980 yeah better than here
00:03:13.120 because I calculate everything
00:03:14.900 and
00:03:16.240 their return is faster
00:03:18.720 and like the price is
00:03:21.280 growing faster
00:03:22.500 are you investing a lot right now as well or no
00:03:24.720 yeah I invest mostly in Russia
00:03:26.640 mostly in Russia
00:03:27.640 because I know people
00:03:28.800 connections contact
00:03:31.080 but your dad was also in construction
00:03:34.020 so he knows everybody
00:03:35.360 That's why it's easier.
00:03:36.160 For example, if I buy something, he does everything inside for me.
00:03:39.400 Oh, yeah, of course.
00:03:40.120 All sides, so we don't waste money. 0.95
00:03:41.520 And you can't get ripped off because you know that business.
00:03:43.940 Your dad knows that business.
00:03:45.020 You see, that's half the battle.
00:03:46.660 Half the battle is the average person that gets into an industry,
00:03:50.440 it takes three, five years, you know, seven years of making mistakes,
00:03:55.100 and then you make money.
00:03:57.080 Yeah.
00:03:57.400 But if you can get into a space that you already have the context,
00:04:00.120 the relationship, and somebody can teach you to not make the mistakes,
00:04:03.420 There's nobody better than a dad to share that with you.
00:04:06.860 I can't wait to meet your dad.
00:04:07.800 I'm actually curious to know what his personality is.
00:04:09.440 He needs an American visa. 0.57
00:04:11.660 He cannot get the American visa.
00:04:15.720 Five times he was in the embassy, five times he didn't give him.
00:04:19.860 I don't know why.
00:04:21.920 He is not a terrorist.
00:04:24.780 Five times he tried to get it, they didn't give it.
00:04:26.280 Yeah, but maybe they ask him questions and he's worried, you know,
00:04:30.720 that he wants to get the American visa so much.
00:04:33.460 That's why he wore it and they think he has something to hide.
00:04:38.320 I think when you become a champion,
00:04:40.640 you're going to be able to do a lot of things you want to do.
00:04:43.160 Yeah, yeah.
00:04:43.560 And it'll be a phone call.
00:04:45.460 Yeah, but it's okay.
00:04:47.240 Me to be a champion, he's going to be good in Russia.
00:04:49.700 So just bring their belt and give it to him.
00:04:54.060 He's going to be happy.
00:04:55.460 Yeah, but he likes U.S.
00:04:57.900 I don't know why.
00:04:58.560 people
00:04:59.740 who never been in the US
00:05:01.660 they like more
00:05:02.560 than who is in the US 0.95
00:05:03.480 everybody wants to come here 1.00
00:05:05.300 it's true
00:05:06.460 it's true
00:05:06.960 yeah
00:05:07.200 it's a land of opportunity
00:05:09.000 yeah
00:05:09.360 because you can like
00:05:10.680 create something
00:05:12.480 and like
00:05:12.960 what's different
00:05:13.760 you go
00:05:14.380 you're in Russia all the time
00:05:15.420 yeah because
00:05:16.000 in Russia
00:05:16.560 less people
00:05:17.360 less money 0.65
00:05:18.280 people has no
00:05:20.720 so much money
00:05:21.360 like here
00:05:21.900 for example
00:05:22.640 you open the restaurant
00:05:23.760 right
00:05:24.100 here is so much
00:05:25.820 people coming
00:05:27.020 tourists
00:05:27.860 a lot of people live here
00:05:29.560 and you're going to have
00:05:32.100 customers
00:05:32.700 for example in Russia
00:05:35.960 if you're smart
00:05:37.480 the
00:05:39.240 millionaires and billionaires less in Russia
00:05:41.800 because
00:05:42.240 it's hard to
00:05:47.380 how do you say
00:05:48.400 for example here you have a lot of opportunities
00:05:50.740 so much
00:05:51.940 in Russia 0.98
00:05:54.020 if you're smart
00:05:55.480 you you you can make more money than here but here like for example you came from russia you
00:06:02.920 have nothing and you're not the smartest person ever you can even go to uber you you make money
00:06:08.500 six or seven thousand and you can afford the house for your family and food but in russia if
00:06:14.540 you're like an uber driver you cannot afford you got to do something different because of people
00:06:20.560 Because of people.
00:06:21.720 So, for example, people don't have so much money like here.
00:06:26.120 They have money.
00:06:26.900 The average salary in the U.S. is bigger than in Russia.
00:06:33.000 And here, a lot of tourists, so much tourists, L.A.,
00:06:37.960 a lot of tourists, how many flights is landing in L.A.?
00:06:40.800 You don't have it.
00:06:41.400 Russia doesn't have a lot of tourists.
00:06:42.780 Not so much like here.
00:06:44.220 Because the weather maybe. 0.74
00:06:45.860 Weather and visas, I think. 0.96
00:06:48.100 And they don't have so much thing.
00:06:50.560 Like, U.S. has, you know, from movies.
00:06:53.600 Everybody wants to come to go to New York, to see New York, Miami.
00:06:56.800 Every movie is from Miami.
00:06:58.400 Everybody has a dream to come to see Ocean, the Ocean Drive,
00:07:03.320 or what does it call that, because of movies.
00:07:06.220 Everything is coming from here, and, like, people have...
00:07:08.800 What a way.
00:07:09.400 I mean, it's crazy, because when I was in Iran,
00:07:11.760 we watched movies about here.
00:07:13.080 So everybody was like, Rocky, oh, my God,
00:07:14.620 you want to go see what, you know, New York is looking like,
00:07:16.820 and all this stuff.
00:07:17.420 And the movie industry almost promoted and sold America to the world.
00:07:23.100 Yes.
00:07:23.640 Everybody wants to come from New York. 1.00
00:07:26.320 If you're going to ask every girl in Russia where you want to go, 1.00
00:07:29.700 I want to go to New York. 0.99
00:07:31.720 And they don't know, like, maybe it's not the cleanest city in the world.
00:07:35.940 It's not the safest city in the world.
00:07:38.680 But everybody wants to go there.
00:07:40.560 Yeah.
00:07:41.040 And that's why they bring a lot of tourists here.
00:07:43.180 Well, a lot of men here want to go to Russia, find a wife,
00:07:45.380 and come back here because Russia's got some
00:07:47.320 beautiful women over there. Yeah, one of the best. 1.00
00:07:49.420 One of the best. Great genetics.
00:07:52.320 Yeah, so
00:07:53.140 you got to come to Russia.
00:07:55.080 I look forward to it. I really want to go to Russia.
00:07:57.300 And then you're going to
00:07:59.360 see what's different from Russia.
00:08:02.000 Where do I go if I go there?
00:08:03.060 If you tell me two places to visit. Of course,
00:08:05.100 I think I got to go to Moscow, Leningrad.
00:08:07.280 Yeah, yeah, that place is. And then
00:08:08.960 you come to Sochi. We go to
00:08:11.300 the mountain. Okay.
00:08:12.660 We eat good food.
00:08:14.840 Was that a video on Sochi, the snowboarding?
00:08:18.220 No, it was in Kurshevel.
00:08:20.520 It was in Kurshevel.
00:08:21.400 Yeah.
00:08:22.100 Got it.
00:08:23.060 Yeah, I really want to go to Russia for a couple of weeks.
00:08:26.900 Yeah, you will love Russia.
00:08:28.380 You will love Russia.
00:08:28.940 Yeah.
00:08:29.320 Yeah.
00:08:29.940 I mean, I have a friend who lives all his life in the U.S.,
00:08:34.680 but they come to Armenia and they want to go to Russia.
00:08:37.520 They want to go back because they grew up here.
00:08:39.900 They love their routine.
00:08:42.000 Should I worry?
00:08:42.340 Like, should my wife be worried that if I go to Russia, maybe I don't come back?
00:08:46.840 Or will I come back?
00:08:47.880 No, no, you'll come back, but maybe not alone, okay?
00:08:51.200 You're so funny.
00:08:52.460 We're not going to tell.
00:08:55.760 My wife's going to be like, babe, why are you going to Russia so often?
00:08:59.080 All of a sudden, Rob, we're setting up a podcast set in Russia
00:09:02.120 where there's six months out of the year, business changes, lifestyle changes.
00:09:07.760 Yeah, but everywhere is good.
00:09:09.540 everywhere is good if you have a right people and uh so i'm in the u.s nobody
00:09:16.520 like do they treat you good when you're in the streets here does anybody bother you they're all
00:09:21.420 respectful so good respectful and uh yeah for example yesterday i was sitting on the table
00:09:27.420 and like one drunk guy came and like trying to like like uh like he did like this like
00:09:34.200 like squeezing on like his kid you know and that day i don't know why my friends gave me like body
00:09:42.080 guard but i don't need body guard right so he squeezed me and like i turned like he was like
00:09:48.300 albanian guy you know bro i respect you this i said bro like if you respect me why you like
00:09:54.240 treat me like your kid sorry i was drunk he said he was a good guy so he said sorry this that but
00:10:00.260 Can I imagine if he was starting, like, why are you saying that?
00:10:03.480 And then, so when I, like, turn, the bodyguard say I was already angry,
00:10:08.840 like, why are you, like, treat me like this?
00:10:11.080 I'm not your kid, like, come and, like, squeeze the shoulder or whatever.
00:10:16.300 Don't do that if you respect me, right?
00:10:18.180 You told them that.
00:10:18.960 Yeah, and I said, if you respect me, don't do that. 1.00
00:10:21.100 Albanians are tough. 1.00
00:10:22.060 Albanians are also tough.
00:10:23.260 Yeah, but, I mean, in the U.S., you can meet everybody.
00:10:26.980 Yeah.
00:10:27.860 Has anybody tried to fight you or no?
00:10:30.840 At all.
00:10:31.600 Has there ever been a time where you travel and someone try to fight you?
00:10:34.640 No.
00:10:35.680 No.
00:10:36.180 So, not yet, maybe.
00:10:38.880 But if they want to fight me, it's not a problem.
00:10:42.300 I know how to fight and not get hurt myself.
00:10:45.780 No, I think it's a bad idea.
00:10:47.160 That's the thing, you know, sometimes where you go and one time,
00:10:51.020 do you remember Diego Sanchez, old UFC fighter?
00:10:54.060 Yeah, yeah.
00:10:54.520 He used to go, yes, yes, yes.
00:10:57.400 He was one of my favorite fighters.
00:10:59.220 One day, one of our friends, he goes to a party at a house in L.A.,
00:11:07.040 and he has no clue who he is.
00:11:09.660 And my friend's a regular guy.
00:11:10.980 He's not like a tough guy.
00:11:11.940 He's not a fighter, but he's a big guy.
00:11:14.200 He walks up to him and says something to him.
00:11:17.580 And Diego looks at him and says, 0.99
00:11:19.440 you say one more thing, I'm going to kill you. 0.96
00:11:22.200 And Diego looked scary, right, when he was fighting. 0.99
00:11:26.580 He comes back around. 1.00
00:11:27.900 and he's like, I'm going to go kick that guy's ass. 1.00
00:11:30.420 And then one of Diego's people walks over and says, 0.99
00:11:32.440 listen, just want to let you know, that's the wrong guy to fight.
00:11:34.840 That's Diego Sanchez.
00:11:36.280 He looks him up.
00:11:37.220 So the challenge is you pick on sometimes the wrong guys
00:11:40.580 who know how to fight, who knows what could happen.
00:11:43.460 And nowadays, Armand, more and more people are learning how to fight.
00:11:47.080 30 years ago in L.A., people would fight all the time.
00:11:49.240 You don't know who you were fighting.
00:11:50.120 So at least two people who don't know how to fight, they're fighting.
00:11:53.240 They just have a temper.
00:11:54.320 Now, there are more people who know how to fight today than 30 years ago.
00:11:59.280 Yeah, for sure.
00:11:59.980 But, you know, all times something happens, right?
00:12:05.520 I meet every day some different people.
00:12:09.060 I can feel like, you know, for example, if they tell me like even bad words,
00:12:14.220 I just turn and go.
00:12:15.160 If he's not a fighter or he's not like, if he didn't like do something to me.
00:12:20.540 Why do you do that?
00:12:21.100 Why do you walk away?
00:12:21.820 because i don't need the trouble first of all i don't want to hurt him i don't i have a like a
00:12:26.080 goal i have a family i'm not stupid like go to jail and i can every day something happens with
00:12:32.680 me because right now i'm famous and like a lot of people come do this that like for example in
00:12:38.360 russia if someone come and squeeze me and if my friends see that they're gonna like fight him
00:12:43.060 right away or just like a like different they that's because of they can fight him they not
00:12:51.880 gonna do that because they afraid they not like come and touch someone like even like a fighter
00:12:57.300 how you can come if you respect him like touch like this in russia that won't happen it won't
00:13:03.040 happen because they know they're gonna kicked out from this place even you know this whole thing
