    Books will be out when they're done. Sometimes a journey isn't complete until it is.

    I watch your videos everyday. I never comment but today I must.
    I want to hug that child in you and tell you it will be ok.
    I want to tell the addict in you to love yourself more than the drugs.
    I want to tell the heavy Daniel that you are beautiful both inside and out.
    I want to tell the slim adult in you that was being bullied by a rich narcissistic that you are strong and worthy.
    And lastly Daniel, I am proud of you, none of these things were easy but you conquered them all❤

    Literally inspiring!! I came across your videos by accident, just scrolling TH-cam being bored. The first one I watched - you had me in tears from laughing. This was just last week. Since then I’ve watched maybe 10 more (in ma life). You make it look so fun. THEN I found this video. Such a great testimony and I’m proud of you for showing yourself (and others) your worth! You are meant to be on this earth. You have purpose. I was just blessed to hear your message! Don’t know you, but I love your soul. Keep doing what you’re doing. MJ

    Wow! Just look what did! You didn't give up, you didn't lie down, you didn't crawl in a hole - You not only transformed what we can see on the outside but also who you are on the inside! To be where you've been, to have experienced what you've experienced, and to 'somehow' get to where you are is nothing short of AMAZING! Although I am sure you are very humble you definitely have Every Reason to Be Very Proud of not only who you are but what you have accomplished and done for those closest to you! You not only Survived, YOU CONQUERED!!! This video could have been hours long and I would have just stared and listened! Incredible! I AM IN AWE!!!

    Daniel, firstly thank you for sharing this video. I know it must have been difficult to share such personal things with the world but it’s so very helpful. I myself battled with addiction for most of my life. I’m 32 and have only recently in the past few years been able to beat it. I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your videos for about 8 months now. I count down the minutes everyday for new videos. You make me laugh! You have helped me keep the beast inside me at bay, and for that I will be forever thankful. Please don’t stop with the content, don’t stop spreading your message. You’re a hero to some of us I’m so glad I found this video! Thank you a million times over Daniel.

    I certainly didn't expect a slot channel to provide such a meaningful and inspiring life story. I"m still surprised as to how entertaining these videos have been the past few years. Who would have thought 20 years ago that someone could make a living commenting on slot and having to avoid security. All said, excellent narrative, you are quite the storyteller!

  • @sab605
    @sab605 6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    I have watched every one of your videos and I feel that this one is the very best. I have been fat since I was a child and today I weigh close to 400 lbs. I have tried numerous diets and have lost and regained the same weight. I know how it feels to walk into a room and people are disgusted because of the way you look. I am very proud of what you have accomplished. Now it's also time to be proud of yourself.

    VLR- you’ve brought me to tears. Good tears, beautiful ones. My friends were at Slot con, and told me how much this speech moved them. They said I’d have to wait to see it myself as they couldn’t tell the story and wonderfully as you could... and today while hearing your words, the love in your voice, I get it. Your inspiring us all, in many many ways. I hope one day- hopefully at Slot Con next year I can meet you myself, because hugging you is now on my bucket list. ❤️ love from NY, Jen.

Here it is December of 2021 and I just came across this video. Thank you for sharing your family history with us, you are a truly remarkable man who has overcome many things. Give your Mom a hug for me. You are awesome!!!

    October 5, 2016 7:30am. That was the last time i put a needle in my arm. Years of self destruction and torment led to that very moment. I am happy to tell you that I now am the proud father of an 8 month old boy, husband to a loving and caring wife/best friend. Sitting at my desk right now at work feeling grateful. Glad I found your TH-cam channel. Feels good to find someone so different yet so similar. Keep up the great Work VLR!

    Teary eyed watching this. Thank you for your testimony. I’ve had many health issues these past 3 years and watching your video’s has helped me to not only enjoy and understand slots more but to keep my mind occupied instead of dwelling on my ailments. I’ve been watching all of your old videos also. I enjoy your humor and excitement while playing the slots lol. I am yet to run into you but when that day comes I will be sure to say hello and give you a hug. Just keep being you and thank you for inspiring all of us to keep pushing forward. Much love and Aloha to you and yours.

    Thank u for sharing yr lifes struggle. I just went through a weight loss the past yr bec they wouldn't do hernia surgery until I lose weight. I exceeded their expectations and now no surgery and my numbers for everything are where they need to be. I looked forward to yr videos everyday, not knowing yr struggle and how my comment was help for u! You are a very special person and God gave u something very special, a personality to help yr followers move on to another day.
    God bless u and never lose that special gift to grab. It's contagious and uplifting to me, when I'm down and out. See u tonight. Love how yr Mom accompanies u to the casinos too. And blessings to yr wife who has a great man.

I kick myself every day for being so nervous and not sitting down with you. I listen to my voice on it and say that’s my 1 minute of fame with my favorite TH-cam guy. If I had seen this prior I would have given you the biggest hug! You have no idea how close to home this hits. Thank you for being you and sharing your story.

    Daniel,
    I started watching your channel about 3 months ago (I was not a huge TH-cam fan) and got hooked. Your catchy phrase, charisma, excitement, and humor is why I continued watching. I did not know about your struggles and how you got to where you are today until I ran into this video today. Your story made me tear up. Your sheer determination, will-power, strength, perseverance is truly an inspiration. You are a kind-hearted human and I wish you continued success with VLR. ❤

I have heard you talk to those who recognize you in the casino and you treat them so special. When you left $20 in the slot machine for the couple in need made my heart so proud that I know such a tender soul. The discipline it took to lose that amount of weight on your own is a testament at how strong a man you are. Thank you for making over 140,000 subscribers’ day brighter, funnier and a lesson how to treat others. ❤️

Like me cause I feel like you about having to be overweight not wanting to be seen or be around anyone. I was on insulin. I kept saying I will do it and do it for 3 months then go back to overeating cause of depression and really bad anxiety. I'm so proud of you. If you can do it. I can do it. I love watching your video and you because your just down to earth, humble, and real. You make my day the comments you make, just make me laugh. It's bad cause when I want to get away from the world I go play and smoke. But with your videos it's like I'm there enjoying, laughing, and just having a good time. Thank you for being a friend!

We helped to save you but you helped so many more that cannot be calculated. Great story and thank you for sharing! You're articulate, purposeful with your words and speak with truth and emotion. So thankful you shared all this :)

    Hi Dan. I would say you were lucky to have had 2 years to spend with your dad having had as long as you had to have with him. But neither of us are lucky. I lost my dad at the age of 13. We had a year and a half to prepare but I was too young to understand the lasting impact that would have. The meds he was on made him irratable and I was resentful. It took several years for me to understand what I lost but I realize now it's something I needed to grow as I have. I will however never stop wishing we had more time, it helps us to realize that our time is precious and we are better people for it. Thanks for making videos and sharing with us.

    Holy smokes. I've been watching your channel for the last month or so and this got recommended to me. Had no idea you've been on such a journey. I hope everything is going okay now, I have no idea why some people are the way they are to others. Also, awesome job losing all that weight. I would love to do the same, I'm probably a good 100lbs overweight if not a little more. Anyway, awesome stuff! Thanks for being you!

    I couldn't even swallow my coffee while watching this. My throat had a lump in it the size of a basketball. What courage you have! There is nowhere to go but up from here. You are an amazing man Dan and don't ever let anyone make you think otherwise. God Bless you.

    Wow Dan, that was powerful! I've been watching you from the beginning and you have come so far. It saddens me that some have to exploit the challenges and demons of others to try and get attention or just to down right hurt someone. NONE of us know what others are dealing with on a daily basis - some hide it really well. It took courage and strength for you to not only change your health over the course of one year - but for you to be able to stand there and tell your story - and then to upload it for thousands of people to watch. Good things are in store for you my friend....keep pushing forward and don't let others stand in your way. God Bless!

    You entertain like no one else whether you showed your face or not I haven't miss one vlog since I began watching quite a while ago. My husband and I have been to Vegas from Massachusetts two to three times a year since 1994 when I got over my fear of flying at 44 years old, we love the climate there. Moving speech it helped me and so many people I'm sure. God Bless you, your a great man.

    Dan, this is still such an unlikely slot video and yet effective. Your channel has always been one of the most consistent and entertaining and more relevant to the average slot player. Your group slot video looked like great fun - you need to bring this on an East Coast tour at some point. Glad that you and your Mom can share slot time - what an journey from Armenia to Vegas.

      Edited to add: I’ve also been on a weight loss journey. Down 25 lbs! Quit smoking 2 years ago today! I struggle with anxiety, depression and PTSD. I watch your videos religiously. They are my safe space and help me calm down because you’re so positive and warm hearted. I’m so proud of all you’ve overcome and look up to you. Thank you, genuinely, for doing what you do.

    Dan I just saw this video come up on my feed and was captured by it immediately. Your story of resilience is inspiring and uplifting. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel and have a much better outlook on who you are, and the entertainment you bring to your 200K subscribers. Maybe one day when I get to Vegas I'll stumble upon you and say hello. You said it best.... life has a way of giving you what you need, when your ready for it. I love that message. I see I'm not the only one who has stumbled upon you the energy you bring, but I am grateful to keep seeing your video pop up. I appreciate you and your story. Thank you.

Seeing what you can overcome really puts things into perspective for the rest of us. Thank you VLR.

From someone that knows all to well about anxiety, I'm very impressed that you were able to stand in front of everyone and give a heartfelt speech. What courage it took to show the raw you, thanks for sharing. You and BC were the reason that I started my own slot channel, not TBJ. I hope to have just piece of the success that you and BC have had. Again thank you Daniel for being real, you really are the true REAL DEAL!

I really enjoy your videos, full of humor and joy, and I hope your life continues on this good path and I wish you and your mother all the best. thank you for your honest way and the good time you give me. good luck on the next slot!

    Falaballoo Daniel, I've watched your videos for awhile and all I do is laugh when you want diet coke to sponsor you and then enjoy the moments you share with your mother. I almost didn't watch this video as I thought it was just some weight loss thing, but figured hey maybe I should. And I'm grateful you're here brother. I hope you truly make new friends for real because you're a genuinely great guy. Thanks for bringing hundreds of thousands of smiles daily. The world needs you my friend.

    Dan, I heard you reference this video on a podcast and then this popped up on my feed. I lost over 100 lbs 5 years ago and gained back a lot of during covid but earlier today I decided to change that. I also lost the weight with no drugs and no surgery. You are an inspiration to me and to many people. I also struggled with agoraphobia for many years. I missed so many things but today I try not to let fear rule my life. I really appreciate your honesty and your willingness to share your story. Thank you and bless you and your family. I hope you have nothing but love and luck in the future.

    Just want to cuddle you Dan. Thank you! This story brought tears rolling down my face 😢. I will come to Las Vegas one day soon. Hope to see you. Amazing how we attract wonderful people along the way. This was 3 years ago you posted this. Can only imagine how far you’ve come. I use to be a whopping 150kg I know what it feels like to be there and all the reasons behind it. I still struggle today but I’m at my best and only get better with age. 44 years old and I couldn’t be happier. Still working on a few things internally. Loving me first is the best. Our story is what we relate to as we all have something that triggers us. Individual but similar. Sending love to you and your Mama & you dog babies. One day soon I will share too my story. You’ve made me get onto that ❤️🤍🕊 Rest In Peace to you Papa. You make me laugh when you play. It’s so amazing to hear the things that come out that mouth. 🤣🤣

    daniel.thank you, your honesty is very refreshing. last few days have been so very hard. i myself hate hospitals with a passion. but here i find myself again dealing with them. my mom had a 50cent sized bed sore so we took her to the hospital to get help. only thing the nurse. not a expert not a doctor or a surgeon wanted us to do was put my mom into hospice to die. they wanted her to die cause of a bed sore that needed to be cleaned. and thats what ive been dealing with for 3 days. i spent 11 hours in emergency room.😅i come home bone weary trying to keep my mom alive. then while im going to sleep, i put your vidios on.100 dolarinos. n i smile. first tinm all day, and i feel safe as i listen to u call help police, or jerky face pigs. i smile when u say pop. i close my eyes your voice makes me feel safe tucked in bed sleeping. i cant thank you enough for that lil bit of kindness of u saying hows your day? and id think right now it feels like the pits. i have worry after worry but im determined not to live in fear though i have many good😊 reasons to actually live in fear. then i laugh the piggys made you mad or the lady pies stupid shoulders or the slot machines not coutin fast enough. i smile n sleep. and next day i do it all again and i know ill have daniel to watch when my eyes hurt, my hearts racing, the nurse told me for the 4th time hospice. my head feels like a rocks in it pounding away. then i watch you and that my friend is how my days go. so you made a new friend. : )

    Sitting here crying Dan. Such a beautiful speech and I watch your videos every day. I just found you a few weeks back. I myself have been through nine back surgeries and had numerous other health issues. I had a horrible time with alcohol for years but found my way out of that trap on my own as I decided one day to change. Thank you for your videos and especially this video. I might be disabled from my back surgeries and feel horrible some days but it’s good to know I am not alone. I have my wife and I have thankfully your channel to watch each day.
