I am forever thankful to those who cut out their time to come on and those who cut out their time to listen!

The fun has just begun, see you in 2021!

In the early 2000's Emile was enrolled in the Military as a British Marine Commander - soon thereafter by luck he ran into a mutual friend who introduced him to film-making, he then traded his AK for a $900 camera on Ebay and documented two war films with Armenia and Azerbaijan soon to be his third.

We spoke about his experience in the battlegrounds in Armenia, the emotional stories while meeting the families of fallen soldiers, some of his own personal stories, his favorite Armenian dish and more.

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend or two.

I had to change things up from all the down-and-out episodes I have done over the last couple of months - so I called on a few close buddies who I see at least twice a year as we catch up on life during dinner outings to bail me out. Enjoy being a fly on the wall on today's current topics:

Politics

Covid

Armenia

Marriage

Kids

Gambling

Sports Gambling

How to win in Roulette

BLM Movement

Getting escorted out of Dodger Stadium

And so many other topics that we most likely offended some.

ENJOY!

Professional Magician Tony Clark sent his audition tape 3 times to get on the show "Penn and Teller Fool Us" with no luck of getting on, it was a piece his mentor "Slydini" would. So he kept working, perfecting and adding to this specific piece. After his 4th attempt, he finally was invited to the show - he had one shot to fool them, he did! He talks about that roller coaster of an experience and why it was emotional for him. This episode was done on Instagram Live, Tony was nice enough to do a handful of incredible magic tricks for us - head over to my IG page if you're up for some entertainment:

Will Morales was in his early 20's when he was in a bad car accident while his buddy was behind the wheel drunk. Will broke his back, the doctors told him his body would never be the same. He then learned about Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) - he didn't just pick up up as a hobby, he became obsessed with it, so much that he's now done it for 362 straight days and counting.

Will is obsessed with eating right, being happy, continuing to learn from people or by reading up on good habits - this was one of my favorite conversations, I hope you enjoy it.

Arakel wanted to get away from the states and visit his homeland Yerevan, Armenia - the day before he landed a war broke out that was initiated from Azerbaijan as they attempt to attack and take over Artsakh, where many Armenians reside today. Arakel didn't take the next flight out, he instead stayed and began to do some serious humanitarian work.
