I’ve never written a special name for a plane, I’ve never done anything like that. A great respect for this airline. A380 is an amazing test, but internationally, the plane is tired. 777 is even better. We’ve never talked about my favorite plane and the difference between Boeing and Airbus.
We’ll talk about that next time. I always wanted to go to A380, then go back to 777 or A350. But I changed my ticket at the last minute and went back to Sydney. So I went back to A380. So this is my relationship with Qatar. I really like their airport.
I like the roof, the ceiling, the light. It makes me feel more comfortable than many airports. I don’t want to give a comparison, but it’s a new airport. The ceiling is high, it’s not low. It’s a silent airport. They have good ice cream, good food. They have good lounges.
The best person I meet every day says, I ate the ice cream. You land in Sydney. They welcome you. Our ambassadors, I wanted to call them during your trip. They live there, they met you online. They loved you online. They met you, he met you. And you met them throughout a few times.
They came to Lebanon or Dubai, you came here, you went there. But still, they are ambassadors. They are friends of the brand. Friends and family. David, Huda, Marianne, Claude. Carmen. Charbel. I don’t want to forget anyone. With the people who worked, let’s start giving everyone a right to know.
Huda took 10 days to work on a schedule. You saw the Excel sheets. She made an Excel sheet of who we saw, where we went, what time we walked, what time we woke up, what we do. Huda worked a lot. David, his car, his gas, his time.
He drives 25 minutes away from the hotel to come at 6.30 a.m. to walk at 7 a.m. After 25 days, he didn’t come back to work. He called as much as he could. Where are we going? We missed the exit. As much as he said thank you, he flew back.
We went together to 4-5 places. It took 4 hours when I was ready, I slept in the car. To go back from Canberra or we went to it. So David didn’t say anything. Carmen, who ran a lot, a childhood friend, a family friend since a long time, who ran with us.
Every time, what can I do for you? Your house is tired, you need something, I need something. Mariana, who traveled from Melbourne to Sydney, we went to Melbourne, organized the event, she put her place in Tassarrof, No Garlic No Onions. We made an event, she didn’t take anything from it at all.
We collected some funds, we bought Mouneh from them, or we bought Mouneh from them here in Lebanon. We will film it soon. They are amazing, all of them together. And a lot of people, a lot of people. Fadia, Charbel. I don’t want to mention them all. Let’s say all the Lebanese names.
Let’s put them. These are really, faith in what we do, love to explain. Who? Michel, Big Boys, Khalil. I don’t want to forget anyone. Nesse, for him. I don’t remember, really. It’s crazy. And the team that was here, you, Rabih, how much you worked, how much you organized the social media, the
Stories, the YouTube, Shadi, the translation, Kareem, who is working here in Lebanon, Roy, who is organizing the event that will happen next week, and all. It’s a family. Huge family. It’s a huge family that is lovely. I felt it more and more in this trip, when I was abroad for
A long time, that my foundation is still solid and strong and all the way. Like the rocket over there, we’re going to fly to the moon. We went to Sydney. You started your night from the first night. You started discovering. One of the ones that I liked was when you walked into
Jimmy’s Falafel. I liked it. How can a falafel place be such an iconic shop? Look at the vibe, how was it? It’s called a pub. It’s called a club. It’s not a restaurant per se, but it’s a restaurant. It’s not a pub, but it’s a pub.
It has a bar, it has drinks, low lights, crowd, noise, people above each other, loud music, and then the main attraction is the falafel. It’s the same thing, you can imagine, you can make it around a Manoucheh. You don’t have to go to a Manoucheh bakery. Imagine you’re making it around a Knafeh.
Imagine you’re making it around a shawarma skewer in the middle of a pub or nightclub. Imagine you’re dancing, and there are drinks, and then a shawarma skewer in the middle. It’s giving people a taste. So that’s the idea. The idea of James Falafel is very nice, the food is good,
The vibe is nice, the smell is nice, the chef is Lebanese. So that was my first impression of the reception. The seating, we had George, we forgot George, George Khil’an over there. Their car is very broken, but I’ve never heard the word no in my life. There’s no no.
What do we want to do? I want to tell him, yes, set up the event, we want to go tomorrow, so George is amazing, he lives in Australia, he’s David’s friend, he helped us set up the event, the Harkola event, he helped us get to Canberra, so George is also amazing.
It was his first day, first impression, to prepare the trip, it was David, the chef, Joey came from the Bearded Brothers, Knafeh Brothers, and he was like, I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep, let’s start, I have 2 videos, so I got to Sydney, I have 2 videos.
I was late, day 1 was in 2 days, I have 2, we started with 2. And that’s how the trip started, you set up the tone, full fledged, and we started. Let’s go. Let’s talk about Harkola. What does Harkola do? Harkola is one of the biggest companies that take Lebanese
Products to Australia for more than 45 years. I met David, I say by mistake, but he’s not. He’s not by mistake, because he’s been involved in it for a long time. We met like 3 years ago, I don’t remember. And then came all the way, we met 6 months ago, we had a
Great time together. Today we met again, we had a great time together, and now we started taking Lebanese products to Australia. They take their products, their products, they have famous brands like Nbid, Arak, famous Lebanese products. We took it to the next level where we can say we support
The Lebanese village, we support the Lebanese family, the Lebanese Mouneh, made by nature, the Lebanese jam, nothing industrial. So we started working on this topic, and we’re asking more and more people to send us their products, to put them supporting Lebanon, and the people I talk to more and more,
And the conferences I invited, thank you Life for this invitation, Lebanese International Finance Executive. It’s very important, for those who don’t know it, know it, and call each other more, because I became beyond finance, I became a consultant, etc. So they invited me for a talk, and in the talk I was saying
I don’t send money to Lebanon unless for education. But let’s buy from Lebanon so we can sell to Lebanon. So this is what I sent them, 500$, see what you can do with it, pay for electricity. No, do something with 500$ and I’ll buy from you.
Thank you so much, you’re supporting Lebanon, we’ll keep sending money. But let’s say in the mindset, you’re a Lebanese living abroad. 16 million. We don’t call them foreigners, because they’re Lebanese. We don’t call them foreigners, because they’re foreigners. They’re Lebanese, Australian, Canadian, etc. So you’re the original Lebanese, living abroad, think how
You can support your country, eat a Manoucheh a day, you’re supporting the economy in Zaatarato. Buy Mordban a week, you’re helping the economy in Lebanon. Wow. Buy Lebanese flowers, not from your neighbors, you’re making a big difference. When you go to the supermarket, don’t think about the
Cheapest, because of course our neighbors are cheaper, because our neighbors make 500,000 pieces, we make 50,000. Pay a bit more, and don’t think that someone is stealing from you, because you’re helping the economy in Lebanon. This is one of the goals of traveling, in a nutshell, and
We always talk about it, and we try more and more. I eat a Manoucheh, I go to the chef, I tell him, didn’t you notice that it has wood? Yes, but I can’t find it. I tell him, don’t worry, you’ll find it, but it’s on sale.
There’s a famous place, the Manoucheh that costs 5 dollars, he sends me 5 kilos. And it happened many times. Yes. There’s something essential, I touched base in all your episodes. First of all, there’s the female energy, that is the working female force in Australia. Wow.
From Zaytoun Bakery, the ladies, a bakery that sells Manoucheh, Lebanese bakery, inside, everyone prepared an amazing table for you. There’s no man in the kitchen. We went to Abbey’s Patties, shock. Burgers, a stall in the middle of the street, making burgers, hotdogs, you go inside, no men, full power ladies,
Working, not young, they are moms, and families, and whatever you want. We continue with the ladies, who made the Lebanese Saj, and the Manoucheh I learned from my grandma. We continue with the ladies who are raised, ladies, not men raised, ladies taught the language.
When I learned the language, my grandmother spoke it to me. My grandfather as well, but my grandmother stays at home. And unfortunately, if the mother is not Lebanese, the language is lost. It is clear, right? In places and places, we use our words. So, the grandmothers have a big role.
They work, they send their husbands. They are in the businesses most of the time. He is in real estate, she is in the place. He is in construction, she is in the place. The family businesses, if it is the donuts, he and his wife. If it is the fish, he and his wife.
If it is the middle store, this is the chef who does an amazing job. The mother is behind him, giving him the recipes of the house. It is true. The one who passed by for granted and you didn’t pay attention to him. The grandmother or the wife, the Lebanese has a big role.
She works, she works hard, and she is focused in the society, in the language, in the customs, and in the spirit. Impressive. I really liked the energy. I liked how all of them welcomed you, they know you, they know Nell, the kids, and your stories. That was so impressive. So, I salute them.
I salute how the Arab woman, when she traveled abroad, removed the social pressure. Today, let’s be honest, today, it is very difficult to go to a place and find your wife wiping the table. This is the way it is. It is social pressure, I’ll call it.
Abroad, and we always say, but the European woman, if you marry her and do this, it won’t make a difference. They went out, and proven, they did amazing. Maybe because abroad, there is more genuineness, everybody is working to raise the families, it doesn’t matter if you
Are a driver, a taxi driver, a baker, everyone can do whatever they want, feeling that everybody believes, and you can do anything to make a living. Hopefully, you will feel the same way in this country one day. We need to feel this way. There is no shyness in working.
You like it, before we continue, I want to ask you, you prepared it, you worked on it, and you put the food. We are part of the policy of wiping the table. Last time, we sat like this. Today, we brought a Lebanese breakfast. Cherry tomatoes.
You know that this is the best thing here. Zaatar and cheese Manoucheh. We didn’t add a lot because we have a long day. I want you to tell me about the iconic humans you met. I’ll start and help you out with, one of the first catch
Was when you went to the elder houses. What should I tell you? I won’t continue. What should I tell you? I don’t want to get into emotions. I want to finish in one sentence. I will summarize everything I said and repeat it.
You will be happier than them because you took care of them and gave them. You, I left, I am happier than them. I am happy that I kissed them and held their hands. I am happy that I loved them and gave them value. I am happy that I lighted them up.
I am happy that I laughed with them. I am happy that I felt them because they are still present in this society. We talked about how it is our turn. These people, sometimes we say that they are not empty. We should give them more importance. Everyone should do what they want to do.
The second catch is that out of 60 beds, only 30% are Lebanese. In a Lebanese house. I asked the question, what are the Italians doing here? The answer was, when the Italian comes with his kids and sees that there is a priest taking care of them, he says yes.
When he sees that they pray once a day, he says yes, according to their culture. The big shout was that we want to help the hungry and the kids but we can put our hands in each other’s hands because there is a land next to it that is empty.
We should build 60 others to secure the last of our families. I don’t live there. But it is a throw to the present. This house is saying that there are many people who want to tell us that there is no place. We can’t build 60 other beds.
I talked a lot about the details of this topic. But as I told you, they are the heroes. We travel and look for Lebanese heroes. The known and the unknown, the forgotten and the not forgotten. On this basis, what happens? I once read a comment on YouTube that you should go to
Someone’s house. But we are looking for people not to get more famous but to learn from them. Thank God, no one asked me for an interview and told me no. Some people said no. I said yes after 5 minutes. Because my answer was that I don’t do an interview to show myself.
I am not asking you to make an advertisement because you are a Lebanese icon and you succeeded. Can we learn from you? This is what you said in Life Lebanon. When I saw your speech, you said that we can learn from you. Some people I come to and say, can I interview you?
The answer would be, no I don’t want to show off. It is not about you showing off, it is about what can we learn from you. I want to put you all on camera. I want to put every successful Lebanese story around the world on camera.
I want to introduce back to education to learn from you. How did you do it? How did you reach? How did you come to Australia? Was it hard? Was it bad? How many employees do you have? Why life? Why the financial institution?
So I can’t ask you, please let me come into your private lives. It is not about you showing what you did and what you achieved. Just remember how many people can learn from you. You mentioned, and I am not here to show off how much money you have made
And how big your business is as an employee. What can we learn from you? What can you teach the new generation? What hope can you give to the Lebanese generation? Sometimes they feel that they have a job and they will find a job. But when you travel abroad, how does it start?
Many times, you asked your audience, or people who were watching, is it that hard? Teach us what we should do when we get to Australia. And today, in your videos, to be clear, many people say, how much did you eat? It is not about food, it is beyond food.
Today, if everyone watches your videos, you share a lot of messages. You share social conversations. You mention people. There are people, even in Australia, I told you, I heard them, they are telling you that you introduced them to places in the street that they still don’t know existed.
So you connected businesses, you connected people, you connected ideas, and you made it easier for people outside to think that if I go to Australia, those are, look how much the diaspora is, that can help you start living in Australia, to start a career or a future.
Because the problem is that people take it easy. This is very important for everyone to know. Anthony, why do you travel around the world? Why are you Sindbad of Lebanon? Why are you Indiana Jones of Lebanon? Your words are gold. If I was someone watching, I would ask myself this question.
Why Anthony? What forced you? Why are you doing this? I understand. A lot of people are laughing at me because I am going to tell someone else to learn. Yes, because this is my case. Today, when you look at everything called Lebanese media, what does it tell you?
There is the Turkish series, the politics 3 or 4 times a day, the news that doesn’t say anything good, we are competing if there are banks or not, we are competing if there will be elections or not, we are always competing. Today, this Lebanese person outside, this patient Lebanese
Son, what does he have to learn from the Lebanese? Zero. So today, these videos that I am making, which are more than a restaurant and more than a restaurant review, the food that brings us together, look how nice is the table. The sitting between two people, your cup and your cup, you
Do everything together. It is to be able to teach our children about the Lebanese menu. A Lebanese person went and succeeded, why are we hiding about him? A Lebanese person is present in every ministry, in every parliament, in every municipality, everywhere in the world. Why are we not talking about him?
A Lebanese person is present in any factory that I passed by. Rabih, there is no place that I passed by. A Lebanese person is building a building. A Lebanese person is building a renovation for a museum. A Lebanese person is digging on the street. Everywhere. Unbelievable.
What is Lebanon? Lebanon is the country that is abandoned. It is a pity that you are still hiding. There is no electricity and water. Why don’t we show them that there are 2 million tourists sitting? Why don’t we show them that we are waiting for the airport because there is a rush?
Why don’t we show them that all the restaurants are closed? Why don’t we tell them that we have a tour next week and we are not finding a hotel to sleep because they are closed? Why don’t we tell them a lot of things? Yesterday, I posted on Instagram the people I met in
Australia who came directly to Lebanon. We met Abou Chadi, we toured, we had lunch, and we are happy. I asked them, what? They are super happy. They are living what they don’t live at all. This tour, to go back to the tour that we did, and I want
To continue it, yesterday, someone asked me what is my dream. I told him to reach the moon. It is a very far dream. There is still Brazil and Mexico. Do you still have Lebanese people on the moon? I want to be the first person in Homs when we sit up there.
All these places that we want to tour, there is still New Zealand. There are still a lot of places hidden. I want to tell everyone that you, a Lebanese, don’t be afraid, keep your hope alive. You’re still in school, it’s important to take your test and don’t be afraid.
You won’t be left behind. There are nurses in every country in the world. There are employees in every country in the world. You’re here if you want to leave. You don’t have to run away, you don’t have to be sad, you don’t have to be upset.
If you want to leave, there’s a place. Today, you’re not going because the countries don’t want you. But there’s work. As much as you want, there’s work. As much as you want, you’re required to work. But today, the countries are closing on us all as Arab countries, so it’s time to reopen.
So, I want to show these Lebanese successes, so we can say that we’re a very smart people. I won’t say that we’re the smartest people in the world, so we don’t upset each other. We’re very very smart. Our way, our philosophy, our speech, our reception, our
Love, which are our existence in this country, the difficulties we’ve passed through, the people who came to us, the unions we still have, they make Lebanon a desert. Places that use it well, places that use it against themselves. We have the good and we have the bad.
So, these videos are for the youth, so they don’t get scared and leave hope. Anthony, all that you’ve seen, so that all the people know, in everything we’re going through in Lebanon now, in everything, in bad times and good times, whatever you want, but let’s talk about the bad times, ok?
The people we complain about every day, the people you met abroad, the people you met abroad, who told you that 1940, 50, 60, 70, 80, they were more difficult than this period. There were wars, murders, displacement, etc. Look where they are now. This means that this person, who is in every difficulty,
Has hope to look abroad. But he also wants to open his eyes and look, and watch content like the content you make, where you advertise that there’s hope wherever you go in the world. Don’t give up. You met Sam the Pavement Man. To me, this is an iconic moment.
I know him, I know him personally. I met him a few times, and then I was happy that you met him. And you saw him twice. In the middle of the trip, and in the last episode, you said goodbye to him. Hope. I learned a lot from him. I won’t repeat it.
Please watch it. The sad thing is that his friend, who was lost, thank God, called the company back. He told them the story when I filmed it. He called the company, and asked them to take his number. His name is Hassan. They asked him who he was.
He said that he was with Abou El Saf. He said that he would come back to him. He went to Hassan. He said that he knew the guy who was with Abou El Saf, but he sent him a picture. Maybe someone is talking to him. Impersonating.
He took his picture, called him, and now they talk to each other every day. They reconnect. You told me for the first time, and what is the story that happened between you and Yefaq. The idea is that the guy who still talks, doesn’t write,
Doesn’t read, doesn’t have an office, my wife does the work for him, and I am nothing without her, and where did it happen? It happened in all the projects. All the projects that I was in. I toured it and walked on it. I walked on all the rocks. The stones from it.
This is an example. I don’t want to forget many people. Very impressive. A very important sentence that I want to focus on. Michael Bradley took a lot with him to sit with him. I remembered myself in many places like when I started with MTV. When we started to go to Michel Mor,
I wanted to make an episode. I didn’t say anything. I want to do an interview with you. You came from here and there. Who is Michael Bradley? I will tell you how impressive it was. I reached him from here and there. In the end, I said, please come to meet you.
I sat with him. He said, why do I want to do an interview with you? We started the conversation like this. Are you the right medium for me? I will say it as it is. I told him, he told me about himself. I said, I will tell you what I do.
I told him what I do in 2 minutes. We finished the 2 minutes. He said, we didn’t start. Then we started the interview. I told him what I do. I told him the goal behind it. What remained in my head is that his Lebanese grandfather, not him, had to travel.
I will not repeat the story. He had to travel to South Africa and he was forced to erase the Arab from his life. He didn’t forget that he is Lebanese. He didn’t forget that he is a Lebanese blood. He is trying to break his head to get his passport.
His grandfather, Sofie, has a great family background. He remarried a Lebanese woman. Now, he is teaching his children, so he became his grandfather, to not forget the Arab. How? Unbelievable. Really. He asked me, Michael Bradley has 58 restaurants, is it an ad? It is not an ad.
It is this sentence that was checked. This is the last day before he left. Are you happy that he is the franchise of 5 Guys? Yes. I entered the kitchen from 5 Guys. I saw your smile. For those who didn’t see his picture, Anthony’s picture from 5 Guys. 10.30 at night,
I entered and slept. I am not making an ad, I don’t want it, but for those who say that 5 Guys is big, I entered and slept. You always say that you are not making an ad. But you are not making an ad. You speak normally.
For everyone, we have to get out of ad stories. We get out to help. In many places, we get invited to places. Some are paid, some are not, whatever. But we are not there to advertise and get out with a logo, an ad, and eat biscuits. We are promoting businesses.
If I like it, I will say that I like it. If I don’t like it, I will say goodbye to this topic. Be careful. In Australia, it happened to me in 3 places and I deleted the content. If I don’t like it, it is not possible to talk about it and
Say that I don’t like it. I hurt people. I don’t want to hurt people. I give my opinion as it is. Especially, I said it in a place that is not Lebanese. I said that I don’t like it. But if it is Lebanese, with respect to my Lebanese brother, I will be quiet.
I will be quiet. I will pray for the person. There were 6 people who were martyred on this topic. I will pray for the person. I will ask them to go out and close the door behind them. I will tell them that we have a problem.
So that I don’t put it on my conscience and tomorrow, I will close the door and tell them that I told them. We have a problem. The problem is like this. I will come back in 2 months. If I don’t like it, I will come and talk about it.
I sleep with my pillow comfortable so that I didn’t go with a secret. I smiled at them and told them that everything is fine. Tomorrow, they will say that the situation is tiring and we don’t have customers. No, the situation is fine. You are tiring. This is my philosophy.
Believe it or not, this is my philosophy. But the mission today, besides the fact that we unite the Arab world and the Arab cultures and all the Lebanese diaspora around the world, we will agree on the main thing. What Anthony does is promote businesses to help them thrive and make work better.
Of course, under specific guidelines which you never cross. Like when I entered a casino. You entered but you are not allowed to film in the casino. I filmed in this but I missed a note in the end. Do not gamble. Do not visit casinos. Don’t go.
Just tour the building. We took a drink. We entered and discovered how the atmosphere is. Do not do it. I salute you, your honor. No, but you said it straight up while you were just standing right at the owner himself. He was standing next to you. Of course, it is not allowed.
It is wrong. When we got in the car at 170, we got out a bit more. I saluted them and a number of them said we did it to film the sound of the car and show you what the Lebanese do. Please, it is not allowed to get out quickly and do this.
It does not mean that we are wow. Right. There are many reasons because I am aware of the issue that all generations, all ages, and all people are watching to see the example of the Lebanese who are organized and disciplined. Once, there was an interview where a person told me we
Prepare your content for our children without being afraid because we know there is no surprise. It is very important. There is no surprise that you will curse, that you will kill someone. There is no surprise. Today, on YouTube and worldwide content, there are many surprises and images.
We continue with the issue that you are saying. You can prepare the content for all your children. There will be no surprise. The butter. The butter is delicious. I told you to bring it with you. I didn’t bring it with you. Even if it is frozen, they can’t handle it.
It is up to you. I paid 450 L.L. for the overweight. Did you want to put Adon? The butter is amazing. We tasted it in Dubai. Wow. The caramel. I didn’t bring the caramel. I have 4 boxes. In Dubai, they gave me and you a box.
I took my box and I haven’t touched them yet. There is one here. I will hide it. Don’t hit your eye. Mr. Ghanem We have people who have big success stories like Antoine Ghanem and Sam Saoud I don’t want to forget anyone I want you to remember them
Write as many notes as you want You know that my name is very vague You went to a lawyer to a law firm C-Suite You did very nice on the opening Peter Bader is a respectful Gibran Cuisine He is doing a great job We will stop at Quatre
Qatr In English no one knows it Qatr is a very big issue When you enter a place you shed a tear and you don’t know why But you cannot help it The positivity of the place is beyond words can describe The food is very good The coffee is great But the atmosphere
It starts before or after Qatr It is the association I didn’t film when I went to their house Because other than the interview I forgive I went to their house and we sat and we talked about the case It’s a tough story
The toughest is to see the family in front of you telling you about the story and not rejecting it You think about it Am I sad because of this? Am I sad because of that? The same day they told him we forgive you and I am sad because of you
Just to explain very quickly the story A few years back there were Lebanese kids playing outside in front of the parent’s house Four Unfortunately a drunk driver struck them They passed away and they left the world The mom, 24 hours later decides to go to the police and
Look at the person himself who hit the kids and forgive him for life and the case of I forgive started I don’t remember the speech Their speech in the rugby game was that God forgives We forgive Everything is about forgiving, being peaceful with yourself with others I ask myself
Why should we be upset with each other? Is there anything worth it? It’s a very big case I forgive the parents who forgave but it’s a very big case Like I said, the sitting at home and the dream they have and the I forgive global and what’s new I don’t want to tell
I want you to be with them in this case and give them a lot of ideas What’s going to happen now? You’re going to see beyond Anyway Learning Go watch it I forgive is a very important thing I don’t mean that I forgive I’m probably upset with a lot of people
I’m not raising people before I raise other people Sitting at home I wish I filmed this moment We sat at home We talked about the miracles the numbers, the way what happened, the pain how the day went I started crying and looking at them and saying What am I learning in these moments?
Anthony, after seeing this with every person in your life you’re probably upset with them but you see if someone can forgive someone that killed a child your own child Do you think it’s ever worth it? Unbelievable I forgive you for breaking my drone I won’t do it again Brother We’re used to it
I’m working I’m sweating I forgive you I’ll get another ten No, but Seriously What’s one learning to the world? I forgive As they say in Lebanese I don’t need this much Nothing is worth the words we use to teach our parents But forgiveness It’s Less than a lesson Three children
Forgiveness Everyone repays his debts in his life He lives better He lives Comfortably What do you think of Marianne? Marianne is a big deal Marianne Forget about her I love her a lot I respect her How much she loves me How passionate and ambitious she is Let me tell you
I learned a lot from her I learned from someone who used to work in a kitchen Shy Independent From behind Let’s go Marianne Open a place She opened a place The croissant I ate 6 months ago is not the same We used to talk about it It’s getting better Marianne evolved
The croissant is the croissant You can’t compare it to anything It’s unbelievable She evolved Marianne is the person who went through a lot Who believed Who took from the most beautiful places and probably from the most expensive places in Melbourne Who Lebanon all the way Who loves people Who sits with people
Who employs the right people Who spreads happiness without knowing Shares love without knowing Who does it with me and with others She loves me so much You can love anyone He has a cause You can love anyone I used to tell her You can’t love us all You can’t promise us all
You will affect all of them We talked about it You can’t love your Lebanese brother this much You can’t help your Lebanese brother this much Lebanese is not Lebanese He is Lebanese I tell you Who is your brother? Calm down Respect Big respect to Marianne Today she has a place called Boulay
French quality Amazing croissant The idea of the croissant, cheese and thyme is amazing All the profit will be sent to Lebanon We respect and thank Her food has life I think she comes on Wednesday The music and French vibes are spot on So Lebanese people or those who are watching so you don’t
Go to foreigners because their eyes are blue and their prices are cheap We support each other more and go to Marianne Please support each other What a shock What a shock I went to a burger place I know you are from Mekouya Write a comment I went to a burger place
I hope it will be good I hope it will be good I hate burgers and kiosks and street food I don’t know the quality I remember I passed the door She came out I started screaming You are my love I know That put even more pressure Please don’t leave me Stay with me
Other than the love and the respect Everything she said was amazing I interviewed her for 5 minutes In the end I lost my phone She was leaving in 3 minutes I forgot my phone So she gave me full storage She kept talking The food was amazing Your family is helping The atmosphere
Respect I told her Next time Open a place God blesses Open a place It’s worth it Wow How was the interview with the sound of lunch? The sound of lunch I want to thank them for the sound of lunch Every time they think about it We did an interview with them
The sound of lunch I thank them for the respect The interview was 25 minutes If we didn’t delay our appointment and David was standing behind the glass and was saying enough We would have dragged it more I enjoyed the interview We talked about Lebanon We talked about love
You can talk to someone who is Lebanese or Arabic more than in an interview In English or French But in your own language You can relate It was a great interview The sound of lunch You can hear Arabic but not Arabic You can decide if you want to hear this music or not
Remember that the sound of lunch is the sound of lunch in Australia It is a way to keep showing the culture we keep speaking Lebanese, we keep delivering the Lebanese voice. Let’s think about all the graduates, there are about 3 graduates, some of them are half an hour, half an hour, 2
Hours, some of them are full time, there are 2, 3, 4 magazines which are still in Arabic. Let’s say again, if you read them or not, if you like them or not, if you have a Lebanese business, put an ad for them. If you are Lebanese, buy a newspaper once a week, because
They are the voice of our Lebanese culture to reach the whole world. If they stop, a lot of things stop. So just think, I don’t read an Arabic newspaper, but if I live there, I will buy one. I don’t listen to the radio because I listen to iTunes.
But if I had a business, I would have put more ads, and I would have put an ad once a month to tell them, bravo, you are great, stay. So the radio is a media tool in an English country, 19 hours away by plane.
It is a tool to keep connecting with each other, to keep showing our culture. This is a message that I have never said, it is important to remember. To keep the radio alive around the world. Nice. How was the rugby game? Did you feel the invitation?
The atmosphere is nice, but I didn’t feel anything. They stay on the ground longer than they stand. How? They hit me here and there. Then when we went down to the stadium, there was no one. They were all red and blue. They were invited. Unbelievable. Blue, blue, blue. Red, red.
Their eyes were swollen. But it is interesting. You know one thing, I think the US and Canada and Australia, they have something. So Canada gets entertained on the weekends with the hockey. America is the NFL and the NBA. Rugby in Australia. So you feel the family.
You saw how they were welcoming each other, which is amazing. It is the sitting inside the stadium. You feel like you are in Lebanon. Really, I was impressed. I felt like I am in Ansar. The atmosphere is nice, I am not talking about rugby. Maybe because it is not in my culture.
I enjoyed the food, I enjoyed the president who invited me, I enjoyed the atmosphere. I saw enthusiasm. The Lebanese sponsors who are supporting this team which has Lebanese players. The two teams which have a lot of Arabs and Lebanese people and they think together. All the beautiful things which I filmed.
But we love each other. Ice cream. I ate a lot of ice cream. Choose one of them. I will choose one of them which I ate in Adelaide. It was called Bottega. It was called Bottega. I thought Messina was going to be your favorite.
No, this is more important than Messina because it is all homemade. Bottega Gelateria. Right. They sent me messages the next day. Thank you. Customers are coming from everywhere. To tell you something. To tell you why. I am not a very good man in ice cream. I am very bad in ice cream.
I will give you. I will. What should I say? I will tell you something now. The flavor palette of my ice cream has improved a lot. 5 years ago, one of my favorite ice cream was Haagen-Dazs. I ate it yesterday. I couldn’t eat it. Yesterday.
From my favorite, and yesterday I couldn’t eat it. So I improved a lot in my flavor palette. I don’t like the thickness at all in ice cream. I don’t like the thickness in ice cream. I don’t like the crunchiness of the powder in ice cream. I don’t like the ice in ice cream.
I don’t like to automatically feel the synthetic gelato that came from Italy, the powder and a bit of milk and water. So it improved. Whenever I eat ice cream, it starts with the look. It is shining in the fridge. I immediately say that it is not tasty. I know. Or velouté.
It comes a bit like jeans. Like velour. You feel it standing on the fridge. And then you eat and feel flavors. There are feelings that I felt at Bottega that I didn’t feel anywhere else. At Messina, it is tasty. We have brownie. At Bottega, at Messina, it is very tasty but definitely, it
Has 10 branches. I don’t know how many, 15 branches. There, for the first time, I enter an ice cream kitchen. I see the oven that roasts almonds. I see the oven that cooks walnuts. I see the machine that brushes them, which is the machine
We have at home, which is the thermomix or something else. I see the mixer that I haven’t seen anywhere else because everyone uses a small mixer at Eats. The big mixer. Yes. The premium ingredients of which I saw a Lebanese ingredient and I didn’t know that it is a top quality flower.
So I understood why I liked it so much. So you understand that to make ice cream, ice cream is not solid water. It is not powder or anything. It is not to make people laugh. Ice cream is a clean work with clean ingredients. It is busy, right?
So you get something when you eat and say, wow, the old idea of the grandma, and the mom, and the dad, and us when we were young. All of you want ice cream to cool down. It stopped in 2023. Ice cream is not to cool down.
You eat ice cream in summer and winter. Ice cream is an experience, a test that travels you and makes you feel the fruits or the ingredients inside it. But it is cold with creaminess in the mouth. So this is for me. What should we cool down?
Stop it and get 3 cones for the boy. These days stopped. No. I liked it. Oil and thyme. He promised me and I promised him that he won’t pass the summer if we don’t go to his village. He is coming. He is coming. Also unexpected. You googled the space, right?
To tell you the truth, I wanted to go to oil and thyme, I stopped outside, I saw a bit. It wasn’t part of your plan. Pub. No. I told you. I was googling the oil and thyme place. I thought that he will come. Pub, restaurant. There is nothing Lebanese.
A bar in the middle. A pizza bakery. The sign is oil and thyme. But I didn’t see a bakery. I didn’t understand. I opened the door. Hello. I saw someone holding a camera next to him. I told him that I am here to film. To film me.
And my father came out of the kitchen. A story. Wow. Really. Really. And I didn’t film him. So his story, his case, his family didn’t believe in him. There are many Lebanese restaurants and there is no Lebanese in Adelaide. What do you want with this? Wa Ezz worked, his customers are not Lebanese.
He made good food. They liked the idea, they helped him. His son said, let’s open 2 branches. They have 2 branches now. Now they have 2. I understood it in the end. They have 2. This is the son’s branch. So the father came only to me. He has another branch in another place.
What? No. Hard work pays off. Of course. We will film together in Lebanon. Hard work. Age is not the limit. We see age, but there is also physical fatigue. So you close, he tells you, not him, I am not talking about him, but people see age.
But what I see outside the camera is his heart surgery, and 3 cans of smoke per day. Not him, again, when you say that you are talking about me. These are the people you respect the most. Despite all the difficulties, despite all the stress,
Despite all the surgeries, despite all the things, he is still standing. Even though he can work 10 jobs. I want to make your food. There is a scary story. There is a great spirit. True. So we don’t take too long for those who are watching the
Episode, please, I wish from everyone to watch all the episodes as much as you can. On a Sunday evening, after a long week, a glass of wine, Diet Coke, anything, chill, watch it. First of all, support the cause, support the mission, support the energy and the effort that Anthony has put into
It 25 days away from his work, away from his family, away from homeland. This is what we need. I want to say something for the first time. I know that it is difficult, I don’t know why, but it is difficult for someone to press the subscribe button. Ok, so let’s do it. Subscribe.
I am giving you my subscription. It is difficult. You know that 70% of my views are from unsubscribed people. So the subscribe means a lot because it allows you to watch more videos, it allows the YouTube algorithm to allow us to watch more videos. So please subscribe. One.
Two, it is not logical today, I know that people are changing, but it is not logical today to make a tasteless video about something tasteless in a tasteless place, in something super stupid, where gamers are playing, and someone is running, and he gets 3,000,000 views. And when we are filming documentaries, episodes, work,
Issues, culture, countries, world, people, the effort to get 5,000 views. Right. I think we are doing our job very well. We are doing our job well, we are buying the right music, we are doing the right editing, we are cleaning, and the best equipment is here. So I ask people to watch it.
I know that sometimes they say that we don’t have time for an hour. Fine. Watch it for 10 minutes, watch it for 15 minutes. In the evening, put me with Netflix. Me and him. Share it on Facebook, Instagram, prepare people because what we are doing is not
For me, not for our children, not for your children, tomorrow, but for all people to keep Lebanon. There are 4,700 videos, to keep showing who we are, who is Lebanon, what we are doing, to keep the issue going, to keep the work going, to keep the manoucheh going, to keep everything going.
Thank you. It’s very important. Views make us be able to continue. If I went to Australia and traveled for 25 days and put a video and got 1000 people to watch it, the story would stop. So just think of a small thing, subscribe, watch more, it makes a huge difference to be
Able to continue. We will finish it in the last 2 minutes. The cap. Indiana Jones, Lebanon. You are fighting my hair. Guys, wonderful catching up with you after Australia. We summarized as much as we can. 25 days in an hour is pretty difficult. Thank you. Thank you for what you do.
I can’t wait to see your next adventure. Hopefully, we keep going. Thank you, Rabih. Thank you for coming from Dubai. I hope you will stay in Lebanon. Thank you for the interview. I don’t know how much we talked. An hour? I hope we didn’t forget anyone and we were able to
Summarize how much it was a nice trip. What’s wrong? Do you want cucumber? He is eating your country. I hope we were able to show you what we did and how much it was a nice trip. I will come back to Australia soon. We are preparing a very big event in October.
Let it be like a teaser and then we will talk about all the details. Who came with me and all these things. Of course. No one knows. Until we see you next time. Amazing. Thank you, Kareem. Thank you, Evan. Behind the scenes. We will see you soon, everyone. And we are off.
You are off. I am having breakfast. You have been with me for an hour.
