Movies that show Muslim in a positive manner... The movie ... The 13th Warrior. the Mummy , Indiana Jones and the last crusade ... Just a few examples for the guy. I've never seen the guy before but he says a lot of the things that I say. He actually knows how to do research ! The people who run this world have done a good job getting people to believe their lies. Until people learn the truth about history ... there will be animosity towards each other. I am doin what I can do to help change that .
Danny..... This guy is a joke let me explain something to each and every American or other people from different countries. I'll try to keep it short I'm Bosnian came to this country as a war refugee after losing my father and his father both died fighting Serbs on front lines. This guy and alot of men and their families and fathers RAN AWAY from bosnia and Albania that's why Serbs where able to kill so many of us.In war numbers count...... Running away from war with your whole familys in hand is not ok folks I know for a fact many Americans if other men came to this country I know for a fact Americans would not run away. Please please please people don't believe this clown he is a fake Muslim with a odd accent lol being born in America ok no. I'm actually American now but I never brag about crap that is not real. please Danny this guy lied to you and your show ask him why his father and his father's whole family ran away? You let other men die for you ? So you can claim to be a real man ? Wtf Danny if you want real Truth what happened in the Balkans we can chat, but this guy is a phony I've met many men like him all talk coward most albanians are very martial all about what they can show off to others. I would smack this clown in his mouth and I say same thing about bosnia people alot of them ran away and then they tell these grand tails of how they got out of war.... Blah blah no you did not! Danny if you want to have a chat with me and this clown live I would love to ! It would be so easy to break down every single lie this guy is saying I'm game. Anyone have any questions please ask I just can't stand people who lie and he is one.
@@Mrizing so his family in a sense dodged a war to leave their countrymen to be slaughtered? The guy in the video did make it seem like he escaped for a better future. I wonder how many of the population of refugees who fled were male fighting age. Thank you for the insight @Mill9999 this guy does seem a little too arrogant for his claims
I was so honored to be on this show, always been a big fan. Thank you Danny for giving me a voice and thank all of you for watching … I hope no one was offended and just know that we can find a way! ❤
As a first generation immigrant from Bosnia, I’ve never resonated with someone’s story as much as this. Thank you for having this man tell his story. I will carry his words with me for the rest of my life 🙏
Same here. I'm first generation in Australia. My mother is Serbian, my father is Bosnian Muslim. They are still alive and togetrher. I can tell you about the racism I faced even in Australia to this day. I don't associate with either side.

You don't have a country your people RAN AWAY! Stop telling people in western world that you guys are some kind of fighters your not you are flyers most of your people RAN AWAY unfortunately and I understand because there are people from bosnia who also RAN AWAY. It's not a good idea to run away in life because later it will catch up to you.
Is great to here an Albian speak of his country history. Bek Lover has a threatening look but once he began speaking I was able to put my guard down. I am 62 years old from Chicago and when I was 24 years old I met and Albanian Family who owned a Restaurant. My friends with their wives and I with mine use to go to his restaurant to eat after a night of party. It was a 24 hours 7days a week restaurant. The Owner and I became great friends for over 30 years. He past away 4 years ago at the age of 70. I still visit the family Resturants. I Love his family.
Lovely story. My condolences to your Albanian friend❤ Immigrants, first, second gen too, we understand each other better, sometimes. Puerto Ricans know food, so its a compliment you liked their cooking, too 🇵🇷🇦🇱
I have an Albanian friend. His wife won the lotto so the family got to move here 2016. The hardest working most humble people. He has his own business now and is killing it.
Thats cool to hear someone who needed the lottery won and used it to basically save their family from a dangerously poor country with no opportunities to climb the ladders
The Guest part at 4:00 really hit deep for me. I’m Palestinian, we are the same with our guests, we hold Albanians deep in our hearts because of their honor. Amazing people.

This was so educational! As a European we get somewhat educated on the subjects, but it's difficult to keep track of all the conflicts, borders, and countries East and South of the Mediterranean. I'll be showing more respect towards the next Albanians I'll interact with ❤️
This gentleman is extremely accurate in comparing Afghans and Albanians. We have the same philosophy regarding guests, we are mountain people, and we are extremely loyal to our true friends. Even the experience of the most recent Afghans refugees to Albania has been largely positive. We love our brothers and sisters in Albania 🇦🇫🇦🇱
@@deniskika Alexander and any local marriages were eliminated long ago, and it was very minimal. The white looking people of Afghanistan were white originally from long before Alexander since they are Iranic Indo-European people. This idea that the blond looking blue eyes are Alexander's children is a lazy thought which assumes that Iranics (Iranians Tajik Afghan Kurd Baluch etc) are not originally as white as Europeans. Modern day paradigms necessitate that the East is seen as the other and any white looking ppl there are because of some Western invasion. This is very wrong. The word Iran is a variety for the word Aryan and is like the word Eire, Ireland .

God Bless you Bek Lover. Your love and appreciation for America, it’s heartfelt indeed. I knew nothing of these wars or should I say horrendous genocide. God be with you and the Albanian people forever. Great substance Mr Danny Jones 👍 God Bless Y’all
Fun fact about Albania in WW2: we were invaded by the Italian Army and after the capitulation of Italy, Italian soldiers were left stranded in Albania. Albania was then invaded by German troops and at that time, following the capitulation Germany and Italy were kinda like enemies so the Germans were actively hunting Italian soldiers. Most Italian soldiers were sheltered by Albanian families who took them in their home and risked their whole families to defend the same soldiers that few months prior they were fighting against. They were under Albanian protection and Albanians were ready to die and have their whole family die to defend the people under their protection, even if they invaded and tried to kill them few months before
True story. My grandpa saved an Italian officer. Gave him traditional clothes and told him to act as deaf and mute. When Germans came looking he said that’s my deaf and mute brother Zef (his real name Giuseppe Dela Montagnia)
@@VllazniaAlbaniaI read this about Albanian protection of Jews in WWII as well. Clothed them and taught them to be Albanian. The one country in the Axis that ended the war with more Jews than they started with.
vëlla, faleminderit. shfaqja juaj ishte e mrekullueshme. Unë i dua vëllezërit dhe motrat e mia shqiptare. shpresoj që ju të qëndroni të sigurt. dashuri dhe respekt.
As a First generation Albanian here, who was adopted, and is beginning at 53 to learn about our culture, I feel I have been waiting to hear something like this my whole life. Thank you.
This guest is amazing, i was completely unaware of the tragedies that his people have very recently been subjected to, but to see his appreciation for life and freedom and his awareness of how fortunate he is compared to so many in the world, he is a true american and has an extremely insightful and open view of the problems facing current america and actually has ideas of how to try and fix them and seems like a melting pot of ideas and differing views who has the wisdom to accept that everything has an infinite amount of complexities and angles and truths. An honest person who speaks openly from his heart but never shuts out ideas and opinions of others like this man is what this country needs more of
My great-grandfather, Enver (from Albania), immigrated to America during WW2. He had a university education but worked in a grocery store close to his whole life, with the hope his grandchildren could achieve the American dream. Mad respect for this podcast 🫡
@@Laminar-Flow l dont know where you live and if you ever visit Albania. As a Serbian from Kosovo l spend best years there. proffesionaly and later pure Adriatic pleassure. Beautiful country with great people
@@vlrm4776 amazing veve brings the world together ha!! ⭕️💙🙏🏼 and I’m not Albanian myself but loved what Bek had to say on this podcast for america! Much respect💯💯💯
I had knew many Albanians going to public school in Chicago. They're definitely alright by me. After hearing this mans testimonial it makes sense as to why we got along.
It's basically how Muslims treat guest's. Albanians are a mix of Muslim's and Christian's but they don't separate from each other. As long as you're Albanian you are one. That's one reason why they are so strong.

As an American who loves geography, I’ve always been super interested in the history of Albania. Hearing the amount of love and respect they have for America makes me happy. Most Americans can’t even say that about themselves anymore
@@Miodrag.Vukomanovic Albanians loves US because try to separate Kosovo From Serbia. They love US Army and Media who close eyes when Albanian extremists terrorizing Serbs on Kosovo From 1999. till nowadays. Now US ordered British soldiers to protect policy of terror on Kosovo.
Thank´s for this very important view and experience of this MAN !!! I´m from Austri and i know a lot of Albaniens. They are proud and very good people, when you need the help you, also clean and workingclass persons. !!!!
My Dad's parents immigrated from Northern Holland (Friesland) after Ww2. The stories they have are horrifying. I exist because they were strong and resilient during those times. Crazy shit man.
@@Kael1331 😂 you already had your chance bud! You're speaking to a Bosnian here who's father died fighting Serbs ! So .... Shut up I respect more Serbs then I do you're dumb people
I watched both these podcasts and I was very impressed. I believe your very close to on point but either way right wrong doesn’t matter to me . What matters is that you’re teaching the truth about origins of faith and how the 3 major religions share their roots and show we are all brothers and sisters in God .
I recently had the pleasure of working in Albania(Sarandë), and I loved it! The country is beautiful, and the people were so welcoming and very gracious hosts! I had guys we were working with on location offering me their home cooked lunches their wives made. I wish Albania and it’d people the best, and hope to return some day! P.S. The bunkers that are EVERYWHERE in the country are pretty cool to see! I think there is ~750000 of them across the country!
The bunkers (Albanian: bunkerët) were built during the Stalinist and anti-revisionist government of Enver Hoxha from the 1960s to the 1980s, as the regime fortified Albania by building more than 750,000 bunkers
My grand uncle was an Albanian during WW2 that was responsible for bringing Albert Einstein his Albanian passport to Vienna,Austria under the secret orders of king zog of Albania and many people don’t know that’s how Albert Einstein came to America my uncle soon after it came to light was sentenced to 27 years hard time in prison for this act and after prison he became the top judge/prosecutor of shkodra,albania
as an albanian I admire this guy who has so much knowledge about my country! I like the true ways how he describes the previous and today history facts👍
Wow! I want to share this video with so many people I know to give them some knowledge, too bad it's all in English😭😭😭😭😭 We as people here on earth need to be taught more languages in schools, as he said here in the video "COMMUNICATION". Cheers from Italy! ☮️❤️😎🇮🇹
This podcast had such a feeling of truthfulness and love. just two good people expressing their experience, lessons and ideas. And as albanian gotta say thank you america 🇺🇸🇦🇱

This was my first time ever hearing Beck speak let alone hearing his knowledge and wisdom of everything he has gone through. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERSON WITH A UNIQUE ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN NEW YORK AS A YOUNG SHQIPTARI. A genuine intelligent human that went through real struggles and is now able to organize his words in a way that make you hang on to every last letter. And Konkrete truly has a knack for selecting incredible guests you won't hear anywhere else.
Been listening to Dannys cast for a long time as well as when he joins some of my other favorite channels. Danny's an articulate astute interviewer/conversationalist with some impressive guests. That said I had to comment on Bek who really caught my attention. I appreciate the clear, concise history lesson I just recieved about Albania from him. And can only hope Americans who don't appreciate what we have... can listen and learn from those who have experience and a story to learn from. Thanks to Bek for both his stories and wisdom; he is spot on regarding his message.
First time hearing about this guy. These are the people who we NEED to get into politics. People that we know align with our values and have a powerful voice to carry that message. Best of luck to you both! Love the podcast man!
Hit it out the Park w this one Danny. Brilliant content as usual but this one really hit different.

My best friend growing up was my Albanian neighbor..The hospitality this guy is talking about is real..And im not gonna lie, the whole street feared the dad of my friend and he was pretty crazy, but I never felt safer then when I sat in his livingroom and wathced TV with him and smelled his cigarettes.
One thing is we never called ourselves Shqiptar until after the Middle Ages ended. We called ourselves Arbereshe or Arberor. Shqiptar came way later, and it was to unify the Albanian speaking people or areas after the fall if ottomans.
Greetings from Albania! I am from Çamëria, the part of Epirus where the Greek shouvinists performed the forgotten genocide on the Muslim population just like the Serbs did in Kosovo.
Always the Albanians were suppressed by other nations and tried to aways make other countries believe that the Albanians are only good at taking cows and sheeps to pasture on the fields.
This guy I would let into my home and into my heart’ it’s people like him the world needs, critical thinkers and compassionate souls, I’d be honored to call this man my friend’.
@@gramozgashi Very! Lol first time I’ve seen this guy, and he’s very familiar. Albanians can look intimidating, or be a little intense, I guess, but they are really warm, loyal people, who will treat you wonderfully with actual altruism. If you’re a good person and love them, you’re family.
When I was a kid in the 80´s, going on family vacations in that region of the world, at lake Prespa exactly in Greece, I would stare at the black mountains just in front on the Albanian side and I thought it was the most mysterious place on earth. It was at the time Albania was some kind of North Korea, with bunkers all over the place, with orders to shoot anybody trying to get in or out of the country.
What an amazing guest. I’ve never heard anything about this guy but he’s so solid in every way from the things I saw here. I’ll be looking him up when I finish.

True story. My grandpa saved an Italian officer. Gave him traditional clothes and told him to act as deaf and mute. When Germans came looking he said that’s my deaf and mute brother Zef (his real name Giuseppe Dela Montagnia)
@@VllazniaAlbaniaI read this about Albanian protection of Jews in WWII as well. Clothed them and taught them to be Albanian. The one country in the Axis that ended the war with more Jews than they started with.
Seriously, one of the best episodes I've watched from Koncrete ❤🔥
❤❤❤
totally agree, it’s a nice break from “cia spy’s” & alien abductions
vëlla, faleminderit. shfaqja juaj ishte e mrekullueshme. Unë i dua vëllezërit dhe motrat e mia shqiptare. shpresoj që ju të qëndroni të sigurt. dashuri dhe respekt.

@@TheBekLoverPodcast God bless you Bek.
As a First generation Albanian here, who was adopted, and is beginning at 53 to learn about our culture, I feel I have been waiting to hear something like this my whole life.
Thank you.
This guest is amazing, i was completely unaware of the tragedies that his people have very recently been subjected to, but to see his appreciation for life and freedom and his awareness of how fortunate he is compared to so many in the world, he is a true american and has an extremely insightful and open view of the problems facing current america and actually has ideas of how to try and fix them and seems like a melting pot of ideas and differing views who has the wisdom to accept that everything has an infinite amount of complexities and angles and truths. An honest person who speaks openly from his heart but never shuts out ideas and opinions of others like this man is what this country needs more of
This comment hit my heart like a bullet! Thanks
My great-grandfather, Enver (from Albania), immigrated to America during WW2. He had a university education but worked in a grocery store close to his whole life, with the hope his grandchildren could achieve the American dream.
Mad respect for this podcast 🫡
You better be out here grinding to make his sacrifice and turmoil not go in vain
@@sproutsisters5398 I go to a top 10 university in the US, getting a STEM degree. I would like to think Enver would be proud.

This was an episode the entire world needs to hear🙌🏼🙏🏼Much respect to the both of you keep up the great work💪🏼
Thanks
Yooo man! You Albanian? Hi from Veve fan from Kosovo 🙏🏻⭕️
@@vlrm4776 amazing veve brings the world together ha!! ⭕️💙🙏🏼 and I’m not Albanian myself but loved what Bek had to say on this podcast for america! Much respect💯💯💯
A beautiful educational conversation with zero hate. Just love, peace, humility, logic. ❤️🙏🧿
I had knew many Albanians going to public school in Chicago. They're definitely alright by me. After hearing this mans testimonial it makes sense as to why we got along.
One of the best podcast I've listened to in ages, thank you both guys totally fab! Agree with you 100%! Stay safe
It's basically how Muslims treat guest's. Albanians are a mix of Muslim's and Christian's but they don't separate from each other. As long as you're Albanian you are one. That's one reason why they are so strong.
The guest its a guest cristian or muslim..
He is a Muslim doing a lot of interfaith. @@anti_hero321
I would like that our two nations start to live in peace. Biig mirdita from Serbia to our neighbours...
It is no longer Serb vs Albanian it is Good VS Evil the world is burning !
Our nations are generally peace loving. Its the governments dominated by an evil global elite that propagate wars (have done so in the past and now).
We do want the same
Peace my friend
@andon Ledhi yes
Definitely
Do you count us from Republic of Kosovo Albanians as well or only Albanians from Albania as your neighbours 😊
WELL spoken & extremely well informed. Much respect
This guy was born in USA but he really knows the history of Albania like he was really born there ! Thank you
that’s true👍
Every albanian in a other country should know the history of his roots!
Jumped right in after watching Bek's 2nd interview. Walking book of History. These are the conversations that need to be shared ❤
All my best friends are Albanian,and they treat me like family.so when I did my DNA testing and it came back as 14% Albanian I was so proud!
🤣🤣🤣🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤️
Thanks!
Loved every second of this show. Don’t think I’ve ever been so Into a podcast. Dudes amazing
Wow thanks ❤❤❤
Salute from Bosnian refugee ... Thank you for sharing your story
We remember all that perished for no reason… not just my people or your people but everyone in the Balkans who died for nothing !!!
The interview We Didn’t Know We Needed , holy shit I can’t stop listening 🙏🏼 🇺🇸 ♾️ thanks for having Bek Lover on

As an American who loves geography, I’ve always been super interested in the history of Albania. Hearing the amount of love and respect they have for America makes me happy. Most Americans can’t even say that about themselves anymore
Albanians hate us, you dunce.
They love your welfare.
@@Miodrag.Vukomanovic Albanians loves US because try to separate Kosovo From Serbia. They love US Army and Media who close eyes when Albanian extremists terrorizing Serbs on Kosovo From 1999. till nowadays. Now US ordered British soldiers to protect policy of terror on Kosovo.
Albanians are the descendants of Illyrians-Pelasgians!
Sometimes, we just need a friend to remind us who we really are.
I’m Albanian and everything this man is saying is 💯 perfect true big respect shqipe god bless you
Big respect for you bro. What a well-spoken and smart guy you are. Glad I found your podcast.
I just started catering for some Albanians that run an Italian restaurant in Texas, some of the coolest and most friendly people I’ve ever met
Thank´s for this very important view and experience of this MAN !!! I´m from Austri and i know a lot of Albaniens. They are proud and very good people, when you need the help you, also clean and workingclass persons. !!!!
My Dad's parents immigrated from Northern Holland (Friesland) after Ww2. The stories they have are horrifying. I exist because they were strong and resilient during those times. Crazy shit man.
Exactly never give up
I know what you're saying. Most immigrants have gone through very rough times, making them leave their homelands seeking safety in a far away land.
Great guest and convo Danny. Love from the UK.
Lovely to hear Mr.Bek talk about our ancient culture.
You are gorgeous
@@bashkimgjikokaj275 lol not you bruv. I was talking to @morenatirana4539
I found your podcast today. Every episode I've watched so far has been great :)
I like Bek's critical open-minded approach. If we would teach that skill to schools, the future would have been much better... 100% guaranteed!
My parents are from Plavë dhe Gucia (Plav i Gusinje) and it's the first time I can relate 100% with someone on these YT podcast, selam dhe urime Bek!
Solid reality check. Talking about what’s important. Thanks again for the excellent content. Keep ‘em coming Danny!
Probably the best interview you’ve had… 💯
Thank you for educating me on Albania.
It would be also educational to listen some Serbian or some Greek talkin about
@@Np7138-m6w or just some actual history lessons
I recently started working with a lot of albanians and they are definitely some of the nicest people, really kind and fun and very welcoming
The first 20 seconds, the most aggressive and funniest intro ever. Watched to the last second of it. Greetings to my Albanian brother Bek!
❤
Amazing Interview, Shqipe!
An old Albanian saying is: Love your homeland like an Albanian loves America
What home land ? Your people RAN AWAY come on .
@@Mrizing if a war happens in albania or in Kosovo 85% of diaspora will return to fight .
@@Kael1331 😂 you already had your chance bud! You're speaking to a Bosnian here who's father died fighting Serbs ! So .... Shut up I respect more Serbs then I do you're dumb people
You talk about Milan Radocic? Go and take a look how they ran away..
Love this guy. One of my favorite podcasts of all-time.
I watched both these podcasts and I was very impressed. I believe your very close to on point but either way right wrong doesn’t matter to me . What matters is that you’re teaching the truth about origins of faith and how the 3 major religions share their roots and show we are all brothers and sisters in God .
I recently had the pleasure of working in Albania(Sarandë), and I loved it! The country is beautiful, and the people were so welcoming and very gracious hosts! I had guys we were working with on location offering me their home cooked lunches their wives made. I wish Albania and it’d people the best, and hope to return some day!
P.S. The bunkers that are EVERYWHERE in the country are pretty cool to see! I think there is ~750000 of them across the country!
More like 250k bunkers in albania bro.
The bunkers (Albanian: bunkerët) were built during the Stalinist and anti-revisionist government of Enver Hoxha from the 1960s to the 1980s, as the regime fortified Albania by building more than 750,000 bunkers
@@OGDamage I was just going off of Wikipedia which says 750k, but either way it pretty wild
Well noonr knows for sure , but there are a lot ^^
Saranda its the ugliest city on whole Adriatic coast and once, 80% of population was Greeks
You guys are solid keep up the good work and spread the knowledge 🙏🏼
"never be at the mercy of another country" WELL SAID !
I hear you if you think what I think you think. All countries over there are in the same position, the difference is some earlier than others.
I am looking forward to watching this and learning some history of Albania
My grand uncle was an Albanian during WW2 that was responsible for bringing Albert Einstein his Albanian passport to Vienna,Austria under the secret orders of king zog of Albania and many people don’t know that’s how Albert Einstein came to America my uncle soon after it came to light was sentenced to 27 years hard time in prison for this act and after prison he became the top judge/prosecutor of shkodra,albania

as an albanian I admire this guy who has so much knowledge about my country! I like the true ways how he describes the previous and today history facts👍
Beautiful Bek, this was lovely, need more podcasts like this
Wow! I want to share this video with so many people I know to give them some knowledge, too bad it's all in English😭😭😭😭😭 We as people here on earth need to be taught more languages in schools, as he said here in the video "COMMUNICATION". Cheers from Italy! ☮️❤️😎🇮🇹
This podcast had such a feeling of truthfulness and love. just two good people expressing their experience, lessons and ideas. And as albanian gotta say thank you america 🇺🇸🇦🇱
This was outstanding. Thank you gentlemen.

Thank you for your service 🙏
Josh, for sure we met. I worked for KBR in Monteith.
Thank you for your service sir
This was my first time ever hearing Beck speak let alone hearing his knowledge and wisdom of everything he has gone through. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERSON WITH A UNIQUE ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN NEW YORK AS A YOUNG SHQIPTARI. A genuine intelligent human that went through real struggles and is now able to organize his words in a way that make you hang on to every last letter. And Konkrete truly has a knack for selecting incredible guests you won't hear anywhere else.
Danny is a professional!
Been listening to Dannys cast for a long time as well as when he joins some of my other favorite channels. Danny's an articulate astute interviewer/conversationalist with some impressive guests.
That said I had to comment on Bek who really caught my attention. I appreciate the clear, concise history lesson I just recieved about Albania from him. And can only hope Americans who don't appreciate what we have... can listen and learn from those who have experience and a story to learn from. Thanks to Bek for both his stories and wisdom; he is spot on regarding his message.
Thank you Gee for listening
Homeboy needs to get on his knees and suck a bald Eagle pee pee to pledge his loyalty to America or it’s not True!!
Also hatrack was absent from this podcast so he couldn't ruin this podcast by causing Danny to become sidetracked
This MAN is great, I respect him deeply. Thank you for bringing him to us.
First time hearing about this guy. These are the people who we NEED to get into politics. People that we know align with our values and have a powerful voice to carry that message. Best of luck to you both! Love the podcast man!
Thats a pure Balkan temperament
BEK brought me here and yea sir subscribed already
Great content .. life changing & new fan of Bek Lover

My best friend growing up was my Albanian neighbor..The hospitality this guy is talking about is real..And im not gonna lie, the whole street feared the dad of my friend and he was pretty crazy, but I never felt safer then when I sat in his livingroom and wathced TV with him and smelled his cigarettes.
Very educational video man great job i wish both of you gentlemen the best.
Great podcast. Interesting and important perspective on the world
One thing is we never called ourselves Shqiptar until after the Middle Ages ended. We called ourselves Arbereshe or Arberor. Shqiptar came way later, and it was to unify the Albanian speaking people or areas after the fall if ottomans.
Greetings from Albania! I am from Çamëria, the part of Epirus where the Greek shouvinists performed the forgotten genocide on the Muslim population just like the Serbs did in Kosovo.
Those lands have been Greek for thousands of years, because your the lap dogs of the Americans we lost it.
That’s a sad true fact
Always the Albanians were suppressed by other nations and tried to aways make other countries believe that the Albanians are only good at taking cows and sheeps to pasture on the fields.
Hopefully it will be liberated 1 day 🙏
🇦🇱 Shqiperia Etnike!
This guy I would let into my home and into my heart’ it’s people like him the world needs, critical thinkers and compassionate souls, I’d be honored to call this man my friend’.
You are my friend
He is a typical Albanian....
@@gramozgashi Very! Lol first time I’ve seen this guy, and he’s very familiar. Albanians can look intimidating, or be a little intense, I guess, but they are really warm, loyal people, who will treat you wonderfully with actual altruism. If you’re a good person and love them, you’re family.
This episode is gold💯❤
I thought Albania was Armania and Aramaic was spoken there. Tbis podcast was amazing and a learning experience. God bless you two.
When I was a kid in the 80´s, going on family vacations in that region of the world, at lake Prespa exactly in Greece, I would stare at the black mountains just in front on the Albanian side and I thought it was the most mysterious place on earth. It was at the time Albania was some kind of North Korea, with bunkers all over the place, with orders to shoot anybody trying to get in or out of the country.
That sounds a really interesting and deep perception, from the view point of a child. I was also born in '80 in Albania, not far from the border.
What an amazing guest. I’ve never heard anything about this guy but he’s so solid in every way from the things I saw here. I’ll be looking him up when I finish.
