First man on the moon. What a legend.
Truth Seeker Oh boy, I haven’t laughed like that in a long time.
😂
????? wasnt he the doped winner of the tour de France?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
contraltissima
Yup
For a guy who said he "lost everything", I'd say losing everything aint all that bad
He cares about Global Warming like I care about him.
capitalism encourages fraud...
Right??!! 😂👀
Leave it at 666
that being honest and upright in these pumps doesn't pay very much.
A fridge downstairs, an ice maker.. the best ice maker.. tremendous ice maker.
It makes the best ice...
He sounded like Me Steinbrenner form Seinfeld when he said that
Reminds me of Trump, tbh
Makes a statement about global warming...
_has a Sasquatch sized carbon footprint_
he wants his lifestyle and for everyone else to make sacrifices
correct. exactly my thoughts. "the climate around here changed about ten years ago, after we moved in"
dope house mr. Armstrong, very dope !
Simon I see what you did there
Who still cares
lol! Ouch!
🤣😂😅🤣
Dammit you beat me to it lol ;)
I was so taken aback when they kissed at first I thought that was like his daughter💀
Alyssa Thomas me too. I was like UHHH WHAT ARE YOU DOING .
When did the kiss happen??
When you've got the name and the fame and the money, you don't go for old women. You go for young and hot.
Sarthak Sikarwar 0:43
You bet he’s banging her
One thing Ive learned from watching all the architectural digest videos is that everyone loves a good kitchen.
Where's the blood transfusion room?
I lol'd
lots of fridges and escape routes, Lance's dream home
10:34 lol
LMAO. He didn't see the irony. so funny. My friend Matt rode with the US postal team in the 2001.
@@brettbuddy3230 something tells me he knew the irony exactly and that’s why he said it.
Met him in 2000 after his crazy comeback, long before his downfall and he had a very dry humor and was super sarcastic. Bet that was his little joke just for himself here. Seemed like a guy that would totally do that. Lol
@@WristwatchAddiction Not a very humble man. Still the best cyclist ever. I don't agree with the wiping of the titles but they will be reinstated... over time.
@@brettbuddy3230 same 👍
Also, just reread my comments above and they were almost unreadable. Not sure what was up with that but I edited and spell checked for more clarity 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂👍
makes a statement about global warming: has 75 fridges in his house... rich people.
To store his steroids probably
Typical liberal attitude - do as I say, not as I do. They always knows whats best for YOU
"Completes triathlons, but can't walk across his house to the refridgerator so he gets 10 of them, 1 of each room."
Exactly my thought too!
@@Zahrul3 You can see the roid rage. I'm surprised there aren't holes in the walls from where he lost it and punched the wall.
lance armstrong
This is the visual representation of "life isn't fair"
Lance Armstrong would have fell into financial ruin following the doping scandal, but he was smart enough to be one of the early investors in Uber.
Greg Potylchansky like I said, life isn’t fair.
Greg Potylchansky And where do you think he got that money to invest in Uber? From cheating his way to the top!
Adam Craig Do you...not know who Lance Armstrong is? He’s a liar and a cheat who mercilessly bullied anyone who spoke up. It ruined him professionally, and it should have ruined him financially too. Glad we found the one Lance Armstrong apologist left in the world though.
@Lucky Strike The guys are the top are certainly using them though. I remember hearing about a race a while back where the trophy was given to a cyclist way down the list because the first few guys were all doping.
I've always wondered, how does this guy sleep at night? Then he shows his bedroom!! Thanks for that.
lol
He was a sociopath, he could care when he was destroying lives, now he don't care what the public things of him
“‘...Have a glass of wine, tell stories...”
Hey kids did I ever tell you about when I...
Disgusting comment, try to keep the kids out it!!!!!!
Lol exactly. Perfect comment.
...won 7 consecutive Tour de France races on PEDs - just like most everyone else was that was competitive at the time - but they singled me out because I got tired of answering questions about it and started fighting back, so they took 'em away from me? True story!
LOL
@@NoelKerns There were a lot of clean riders and Armstrong threatened them if they didn't remain silent. Search about Christophe Bassons. He's a psycho.
finessed the world for 7 straight years. legend
The first time in one of these celeb house tours I've actually wanted to see inside the fridge
The best part of this house for me: the outside, it looks amazing! The contrast with the snow is a postcard.
i am here just for the comments...lol
Smile4me me too
Smile4me Was curious when I saw him. Watched one minute , paused it , then spent ten minutes reading comments. First time comments more interesting than story. Lol
Did exactly the same thing :D
Same, lol
me too
To everyone who thinks it isn't a big deal that he was featured: he used to sue people who said he was cheating and he ended up WINNING those lawsuits. The people who were telling the truth would end up bankrupt. He never payed them back, even after confessing that he was cheating all along. He used that tainted money to buy this place. This is a travesty for the AD and they really should be very ashamed.
Polish Rainbow Yes, let’s shame the man who helped raise millions of dollars for cancer awareness/research. Oh and wasn’t there also multiple other people who were caught too? But no, he’s the one that gets flamed the most.
hhmm .. I didn't know that. Well, He's got his own Karma already. I hope he learned his lesson and never do It again .. and he should pay back those people with the "Winning" lawsuits !
That's awful I didn't even realize it worked like that and I still thought it was awful that they were just acting as if everything was okay and it's alright to promote his home as if he wasn't a fraud
Yeah I thought the same. First I thought this video must be from 10 years ago or something. Yes he raised money for cancer but he also basically stole the goodwill to enrich himself. If I rob a bank and donate 10% to charity...can I call that a tax-deduction? LOL.
Can you provide evidence where he used to sue people who said he was cheating? I'm not calling you a liar, but I couldn't find anything proving what you've said.
Kinda telling how there's literally nothing relating to cycling - no memorabilia, souvenirs, posters - dotted around the house, at least as far as we saw.
@Samara Hamilton Notice how he said cycling, not bycicles. There's a big difference between just a means of transportation
I’m pretty sure he has all his Yellow Jerseys hanging up in frames. I saw a post on IG from him.
I mean he never legitimately won any cycling competition
@@zibberebbiz every champion in every sport is doped to the gills mate. Lance is still a champ, he was just unlucky and got caught.
You know you're getting old when seeing the ice maker makes you excited
His whole persona stresses me out for some reason.
S C it’s sociopathic
Because he's a cheater and a liar.
so why do you waste your time and energy watching??????????
@@fernandog.aguirre2791 because creepy, lying, drug abusing bullies are intriguing? stupid question.
He is an actual sociopath.
Remember kids, if you cheat your way to the top, you too can live a lavish life of luxury
The American way
@@JaBlanche
American way?, Cheating is the international way to be rich ASF. Cheating is the only common denominator in all economic systems from (capitalism to communism) rich guy cheat to get rich.
Lol Pervy
Glorifying this POS. Still giving him a forum. Would love to see the news feed where the house burned to the ground. Drying up and blowing away apparently is not and option with this guy. Interesting that he introduces his live in lover as his fiancee when what he has been going out with her for over 10 years and has already had two kids with her. The guy has zero credibility.
But it is true if you can ignore the shame you can live an immorally funded lux life
Of course he has 5-6 fridges..everyone knows you gotta keep the roids chilled
Them roids 😂😂
Lol them bloods bags too
Hahahahhahhaa
It takes him a lot of ball to do that!!!
why did they even bother to cover the cheater
That house has the carbon footprint of a small African state.
I like how he mentions Aspen is warming up and then he goes on the show us his energy sucking life. Its just so Lance.
@Sleepy Joe Aspen ski season is shortening ever year. There season is about a month shorter than it was in the 70s its ok eventually everything will be green because as they say there is only so much oil in the ground.
And your life must be an example of energy saving, right !
@@Mukunda16108 Actually it it. Its much smaller than I could actually afford, solar panels supply the majority of power. I generally I live small life spending most of my time hiking and biking near my home.
He worries about global warming but at same times mantain more than 5 fridges working... LOL
99.999% summer guy and he lives in Aspen Colorado. XD
Hey I don’t know if you know this but summer is the same length everywhere in the world.
chris71388 not true
Well he need's keep hes blood bags cooled lol ;)
@@chris71388 NO.
I’m 100% a summer guy and I live in Colorado bra. What’s up?!
Makes statement on global warming. Boasts about 5 fridges
6
Great job copying the 5 people that made the statement before you did.
Abit like Leonardo DiCaprio, likes lecturing people on global warming then flies to set in a private jet and parties on mega-yachts owned by Russian oil barons.
The fridges are a bad habit from his doping days. They keep his steroids chilled.
hahaha bruh there are factors that contribute more to global warming than fridges..... not really a concern
They’ve been together for ten years, have two kids and she’s just his fiancé?
I think with all of the lawsuits that he was trying to resolve, he didn't want to commit and have her just immediately leave. But I think all lawsuits have been resolved this past year.
His first divorce was a wake-up call.
@@badis1173 Right lmao when you love someone so much you wanna get the government involved.
He got ripped off from Amazon! Costco had 2 squatty Potty for $29.99!!!!
omg exactly what I was thinking!
Yes and you have to drive back and forth to pick it up and put miles on you ride
Where does he keep his seven Tour De France trophies?
Michael Freeze..Somewhere in that house of lies!!
No shame
Didn't he have to give them back? Or maybe that's the point of your joke?
@@shnbwmn Lance Armstrong gave back the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Olympics but he never handed back his 7 Tour de France trophies.
I’m pretty sure they’re in his Mellow Johnny’s bike shops.
Why doesn’t anyone question if he lied about landing on the moon?
Because that dude died in 2012. And his name was Neil Armstrong
Are you absolutely ignorant?
@@valardohaeris333 youre thick
I cannot tell if you’re joking 😂
@@douglassamber3159 You're thick too then
i like that he collects art, and doesnt just have a bunch of boring hotel pics hanging up. He seems like a fun guy
Next on Architectural Digest, a tour of Hitler's Berchtesgaden retreat, guided by the president of the Aryan Brotherhood.
Lord!!! Ok!
Omg you're too much! If I found out Lance Armstrong was a Nazi I wouldn't be suprised. He's a sociopath.
Hahahahaha
6:26 uhhh maybe it's because you have six refrigerators dumdum.
best comment
“I do like to drink; everybody knows I like to drink.” Heads up, that’s not what everybody knows about you.
9:20 funny room for someone who baselessly accused Greg Lemond of being an alcoholic.
Just so you know every biker from his generation did doping lol, uneducated folks like u are so funny
@@joemama8243 True but not true. He had the Dr. that was on the cutting edge of admitted doping techniques on his team. He was not a superior cyclist, just a better doper. A one percent advantage in the tour is the difference between victory and defeat.
Oh man decorating seems so fun when every little thing has a history, it's like I'm falling in love with every single item
Here is the doping room.
Lol
best.
Hahahahahaha!!!
😂
Haha
Fiance for 10 Years wow
ramoshaba ramoshaba no u idiot they have lived together for 10 years but she has just been his fiancé for a bit
@@safakhan6640 you never know they could've had a long engagement.. That was actually a good movie: "A very long engagement" you should see it ..granted different circumstances but you never know.
She looks like she's 20 😂😍
ramoshaba ramoshaba I know right I thought it was his daughter 😱oh my....
**
You must know some really old looking 20-year-olds 🤪
I've worked in Austin Tech company for the last 20 yrs and he reminds me of all my Managers during that time. Psychopath and Sociopath. But Lance seems to view life as a game and he is winning regardless who he bullies and stomps along the way.
And next week on AD: the traditional yet modern home of a Colombian cartel drug lord! Pablo shares it all!
Hahaha
He was colombian
LMFAO
Pablo was colombian not mexican.
@@christinameling7335 Ah yes of course
Lance Armstrong: Amazon, fridge, and ice maker salesman
VERY ODD CHOICE TO CHOOSE HIM FOR THIS
I thought the same thing
AGREEE..
Why is this repulsive, sleazy pig not rotting in a prison cell? (Shame on AD for promoting this shameless, disgusting excuse for a human being.)
I wondered same thing. Let’s glorify a cheater
Right. All that money he made cheating!!
that electrical bill has got to be outrageous......"oh, here's another fridge".
lmao you are not worried about that if you live in Aspen CO lol
I love that about Colorado homes. I love the fact that they build down rather than up. I went to UNC Greeley and some of the school buildings were like that too.
Complains about global warming, while showing off his 10,000 SF Aspen home with 6 refrigerators and a heated garage. The irony is thick
100 companies cause 71% of carbon emissions, point being that people changing energy use habits on an individual basis isn't effective.
@@davesdinnerz9243 Misinformation. The report said 71% of carbon emissions can be "traced" to 100 companies. That doesn't mean they're releasing all those themselves. Nearly all are energy companies. For example, ExxonMobil is on that list, but it doesn't include just their emissions, but the emissions of consumers who use their products.
Like most liberals
@@CheeseBae the point is these companies can utilise renewable or nuclear energy and the only way we are going to stop climate change is if these companies do exactly that
@@davesdinnerz9243 That wasn't your original point, and that's not the case today. Michael Lane's comment about Armstrong being hypocritical is not unfounded. People "care" enough to lecture others, but no one wants to change their own lifestyle.
I like how the artwork at 8:21 says "Safe and Effective Medication". Is that what that was, Lance?
“Every house in Colorado has to have a hot tub”
Me lives in Colorado and doesn’t even have a backyard.👁👄👁🤭😑
same here friend
@Lucy Anna another house
@Lucy Anna a fence?!?
@Lucy Anna lol
This dude has balls to do this
10 years together, had children and he calls her my fiancé. Ok
God bless her patience
Weird right?
Im speechless too.
I don’t like that he called her his “woman.” I don’t think he meant anything by it, but it rubs me the wrong way.
Her face after him calling her his fiance...
... And for some reason, I can't seem to find my medals... But here's a fridge instead!
@Cassie De Pecol,
*Damn, you sure are a lil’ CUTIE 😍! May I PLEASE make direct payments towards your college tuition/student loans (Soon-To-Be Dr.) 😩?*
For all of those wondering...the Scotsman Ice Maker is about $2500.00 and has a 3.5 star rating. I wouldn't say it's the best ice maker in the world, nor would I say that making ice for your home is ever worth $2500.00.
this guys has some balls, showing off his expensive home..
well, one ball, if you want to get technical....
5 kids from 1 ball...
Noah Lane making fun of someone losing part of his body to cancer, real classy
The guy who savagely went after his ex-wife for saying he used steroids.
And everyone else including his best friends and a cycling legend.
But the question is, why would anyone go after Lance since the have nothing to gain from the whole story? Look at David Walsh for example. He was against Lance since 1999 because he wanted "clean cycling" and now he praises Chris Froome who is also a cheat.
@@danteintx7621 there is only one side to the story: the one on tv, pal.
@@actontreadway1168 Actually Lance admitted this himself.
Russ Hendrix admitted what?
Yea its warmer because people like you are using 5- 6 fridge 🙄🙄
You think global warming is such a problem because rich people have 5-6 fridges
@@blitzgaming8hd584 It's more like when Leonardo Dicaprio flies his private jet from Paris to LA to get an award for global warming activism and then immediately flies back to Paris right after he gets off stage. Yes, it's also people with 20 fridges in their houses and celebrities with 4 or 5 houses fully stocked, fully manned and fully heated or cooled at all times on the off chance that said celebrity 'might' show up at one of their many mansions. So when these rich celebs wag their fingers at us about global warming and then we see how they actually live, you just want to smack them.
poormans bicycles
But you know how a fridge works, do you?
@JDMime that's a little too controlling
@@blitzgaming8hd584 he contributes to it more than the average person
His art is insane. I mean it’s millions of dollars and someone could just walk in and take it! He has some of the most famous current artists in his house!
I never knew how cool he was, I like him.
Did I mention I won as many Tour de France races as Lance?
‘‘Here’s the I.V. room where i have HGH pumped directly into my heart.’’
can you tag the time in the video he shows that room? I missed it.
Get over it dude
Joe Kinchicken Ah yes, the two politic sides: conservative and libertarian. 🤔 aka extremely right wing and very right wing
Aahahha, that one made me laugh.
Here’s the butt hurt room where you spend your life
He talks about his stuff like such a dad
interesting that he's so focused on escapes!
Anyday he might need it 😂😂
😂😂😂😋
And fridges
40 feels the same as 25? Gotta love that enhancing drug feeling
Chronic overdose of EGO
He said 25.....or 26. Very accurate 😂
Hahahaha!!
Shani Black, he dose the take steroids anymore. Don’t even try to argue with me, I know him personally.
@@tednitka9464 I know him personally as well because I am his drug dealer.
Lol, Lance is flexin here....
He wanted yall to know that he is still livin large even after all the scandel....😂
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HOME! I’ve probably watched every single AD home tour and this one by far is my favorite. PERFECTION!
Christ. Charles Manson s cell tour wasn't available?
LOL I chuckled.. thanks.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you have expressed all my feelings about this video in one comment!
Savage 😂
again with the comparisons to murderers. you people are lost. he out-doped other dopers and you act like another killer was pulled off the streets before he could take any more of our fellow humans.
Laughing .......funny!!!!!😂
Dear AD fired your social media team! ..what is this? nothing about architecture MTV Cribs all over again pfft
Well, he did say you can buy stuff on Amazon, but art from tacky philistine collectible artists, install fridges inside particle board cabinets all over your home. This was an advertisement for crap basically. Go to NOWNESS. They have some serious design there.
How about you review which videos get the most views on this channel. Did you make your annual donation to change which videos they produce?
@@Ionization2020 Uh...why? and why? I have to donate to AD, and if I do I can pressure them to do videos I want?
There are serious design stuff on YT, like NOWNESS. This is just "Lifestyles of the Kinda Rich and Infamous", nothing about architecture or design, just celebrity worship.
@@tranzco1173 NOWNESS In Residence series waaaaaaaaaaaaaaywaaaaaaaaywaaaaaaay more better than this ..In Residence; Ricardo Bofill is my fav!
@@AA-xd9fg
i know right? The one inside an old factory in Spain right? That one is just so unique, never saw anything like it. It certainly didn't look industrial, the opposite, very surprising.
There's a reason why there's 5 fridges. That's where he used to keep the blood for blood doping during the cycling days. The man knows his fridges.
I loved this it just seemed so cozy and all those frigs’ that’s def something I would do if I had a home like this lol
AD, more historic buildings, less "famous" people please. (the NYC Grand Central Terminal / Public Library clips are amazing!)
How about you review which videos get the most views on this channel. Did you make your annual donation to change which videos they produce?
So this is what all them livestrong bracelets proceeds went to🤔
zane bradford 😂😂😂
Lance Armstrong was a great trumpet player in the 50s. That's probably the house where he practiced his speech that he didn't take steroids.
I'll show this video to my kids and show them it's worth cheating.
Lmfao
It is lol.. How's your house compared to his
You're fooling yourself if you dont think he worked EXTREMELY hard. He was competing against others that were doping as well.
I enjoyed the tour of his home. I like some of the art and the exterior looks gorgeous. He was also a decent guide. It's a shame that most of the comments are about Lance Armstrong's controversies instead of the focus of this video, his home.
That's a lot of cheating that's gone into that place! He must be so proud.
It is a sport where everyone cheated unfortunately. It was just a part of the sport.
Lee Shand cheating is a sport in its self to him and he’s the champ lol
@Adam Craig Adam you're full of shite. How is it safe to take drugs you idiot?
it'd be wishful thinking you can be the best in a sport unless you are a freak athlete like giannis without taking peds
Lol at the 'Safe and Effective Medication' picture at 8:21
Wonderful home, area, and people in it...
Lance Armstrong, thumbs up! :-) :-)
the house that lies built.
I mean, he beat the other liars, so... there's that.
That's a good one.
Rhonna Marsden the house that cheating built he should be in a rented flat somewhere not in a home in aspen
@@tonydoherty2190 you forget one thing, if you take performance enhancing drugs you would never be able to succeed in any kind of professionell sport. He did win the Tour de France seven times in a row on juice, but on a plain level field. That´s why you live in a rented flat, and Lance in Aspen.
Why is this repulsive, sleazy pig not rotting in a prison cell? (Shame on AD for promoting this shameless, disgusting excuse for a human being.)
It seemed he got payed by the icemaker company and amazon? $$$$$
To those people who do not know the background re. Lance? Yes, he used doping which they all did but this is not the issue here. The difference between Lance and the others is that Lance denied it for such a long time and totally crushed people around him by telling lies about them and sueing, thus destroying both their reputation and finances. He did this even who had been super-loyal to him for a very long time.
Great house. Awesome to be able to live in Aspen. Really great, engaging tour by Lance.
This is the happiest I’ve ever seen Lance
Omg I didn't realize He was still alive!
If u r 99.9 percent summer why r u living at aspen
Because it's the cool thing to do.
Because he's hedging his bets on global warming turning up qui k in the next few years
because it's dope 😏
*so what I took away from this was that he actually wanted AD to do the tour in the summer*
“beer, mexican coke, hgh, couple bags of blood and sparkling water”
Don't forget the EPO.
Lance trying too impress with the Mexican coke. When just about every supermarket sells it. He`s so out of touch the maid probably does the shopping. The difference, it has real sugar I bet you he doesn't even know that. He just knows it comes from Mexico.
This is just weird. bit of a own goal for Architectural Digest
Talk about a guy with no sense of shame.
you are absolutely right on that !
Lol, why would he
GullibleBunny maybe cuz he cheated almost his entire career? Lmao
He earned everything he has...if you think otherwise, you're delusional.
@@gulliblebunny3352 talk about delusional.
I can’t help it. I know we’re not supposed to like Lance anymore, but he just seems like a cool chill dude. Nice house sir!
I have watched several of these videos and although everyone's homes have been very nice, they weren't necessarily my style. I like Mr. Armstrong's home very much. It feels comfortable and not at all pertinacious. I can understand why he says everyone stays in the kitchen. Wow! What a kitchen!! 😊
I'm not surprised by Lance having this amazing house!!!! Nicely decorated. But also is nice to see Lance more relax, chill showing his funny and kindness side. Lets try to leave the past behind, I'm not saying forget about it. Let's enjoying him today, more mature and less arrogance time! Gorgeous house!
6:18 says the guy with 14 refrigerators..
Glad to see Lance happy and settled.
Who says cheaters never win, lol.
He will always be a doper/cheater/loser in the World's eyes, and he disgraced America... NOT OK!!!
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 he is a cheater and a liar but I wouldn't say he disgraced America since literally, every pro cyclist cheated back then
king of jazz, what an honor.
Why did I decide to watch this video, now the only thing I want is a house like that in aspen LOL
Aspen is so small and overrated.
They sure like that fire motiff. Feels like I'm gonna burn in there lol
Beautiful home. Comfortable. Love the outside
colors
« We sit here, on cushions, with family and friends, have a glass of wine and talk...”
About what? The way you won your 7 TDF trophies? It must be an Interesting conversation....!
😂
you made me think you won the Tour de France because you were the best.
he was the best
He was the best of all the dopers, which was any that wanted to win. The whole TDF is messed up with all doping. The course seems to get harder each year, yes?
1:30 That portrait looks like Renaissance painters painted something from the X-Files.
Lance Armstrong is a 7 time Tour de France winner...period ! They can take it off of pages but everyone knows who won the tour from 1999 to 2005. We all knew those riders were doping, Lance only did what they all were doing but being a better rider he prevailed. They were not shooting steroids like ball players, they were using things to produce more red blood cells. Lance is a f'ing legend !!!
Ugh this house is so nice! I went to Aspen for the first time this year and it is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. This house is stunning and fits in with the esthetic of the town. I really liked the art. His sense of humor with the ice and the squatty potties are hilarious lol
u kidding right
@@rushak1178 I'm not kidding - the house is really nice lol. I'd be down to have a house like that in Aspen. :)
Please do some research before u say his nice
