I feel you know 00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:21.670 what it's because yesterday you were like, oh, 00:00:21.670 --> 00:00:24.329 you know So this morning I was like, is this 00:00:24.329 --> 00:00:26.170 good enough for you, Matt? This is good enough 00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:27.989 and we got what color watch we got today We're 00:00:27.989 --> 00:00:30.129 going black. Oh, yeah, we want black because 00:00:30.129 --> 00:00:34.229 of the black and white. Yeah, okay The color 00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:37.969 coordinates is one Anyway, we've got an incredible 00:00:37.969 --> 00:00:39.649 guest today, guys, and we're gonna introduce 00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:41.530 him in just a second. But before we do, I just, 00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:43.009 I gotta talk about this, because I think it's 00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:46.090 cool as hell. One of the guys on my IT team came 00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:50.829 in today with this incredible bit of Syracuse 00:00:50.829 --> 00:00:53.369 history. This is a record, by the way. I had 00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.630 to tell our intern what it was. Are we that old? 00:00:56.670 --> 00:00:59.509 I'm not kidding. She's like, what is that? Oh, 00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:03.329 fuck. It is the history of Syracuse, volume two, 00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:07.969 1957 through 1971. We have not yet played this, 00:01:07.969 --> 00:01:09.629 but we're going to. The record is in great shape. 00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.670 I've really got to hear some of these tracks, 00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:16.329 if you will. These hot tracks. Are these bands, 00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:19.129 or are they jingles? Oh, no, no. These are bands 00:01:19.129 --> 00:01:22.890 that were. From Syracuse. No shit. Jan and the 00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:25.230 Radiants, Billy Ken and the Madisons. There's 00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:27.129 always somebody in the somebodies. Should be 00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:29.969 Billy P. Sillaw and the New York Rock, you know? 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:32.930 Yeah, right, right, right. Pineapple Herd, though. 00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:35.430 This is my best. That is still might even be 00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:37.329 a phenomenal band name. There was a band called, 00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:41.989 what was it, 805 back in the 80s? They didn't 00:01:41.989 --> 00:01:43.709 make it, oh, this is before their time. This 00:01:43.709 --> 00:01:45.049 is before their time. They were Utica. They were 00:01:45.049 --> 00:01:49.420 Utica. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Otis and the all night 00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:52.359 workers. All night workers. Yep. They don't make 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.959 band names like this anymore. Are those construction 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.459 workers or ladies of the night? What are we talking 00:01:55.459 --> 00:01:57.120 about? Well, we're going to find out. Anyway, 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.420 we have a guest. We do. I'm excited about this 00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:05.540 one. Tell us about this man. This man is a real 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:07.519 estate agent or realtor. I don't know the proper 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.039 term. He'll tell us. Yep. But he is also a really, 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.240 really, really good content creator, like top 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.560 notch stuff. does a lot of funny videos. You 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.460 know, he does videos about Syracuse and some 00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:22.719 of the businesses in it. And then he does, like, 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.319 you know, food wars, what city has the best food. 00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:29.780 And he has deemed himself as Mr. Syracuse. Oh! 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.300 And I can't think of a better guy than Alex Skrippa. 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.939 What's up, Alex? How are you, man? I'm great. 00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:37.879 How are you guys? This is very exciting, because 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.280 like Mike said, you are an incredibly talented 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.169 creator. I appreciate it. clearly we're in that 00:02:44.169 --> 00:02:47.189 game. So we have an eye out for that and have 00:02:47.189 --> 00:02:50.909 nothing but respect for it. And one of the reasons 00:02:50.909 --> 00:02:53.090 I have so much respect for it is you're clearly 00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:55.889 somebody who is using content to build their 00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:58.729 traditional business, right? And there's a lot 00:02:58.729 --> 00:03:01.530 of people in real estate these days who have 00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:04.009 been, I want to say a lot of real estate folks 00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:06.650 have really been sort of on the forefront of 00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:10.370 trying to create content, but not all of them 00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:14.080 hit the mark. You've found really unique ways 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.439 to not just show a property, but really dig into 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.120 the city. Can you tell us a little bit about, 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:21.699 well, first of all, tell us a little bit about 00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.740 yourself, and then let's talk about your content. 00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:27.439 Well, my name is Alex Scrippa. I'm 21. I grew 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.919 up in Cicero, and I've grown up in the business 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.759 of real estate. My father is ancient now, so 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.060 he's getting old. He's got the gray hair. He's 00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:41.469 got all the real estate knowledge, but... I've 00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:44.009 got the spark and the creativity. I like to be 00:03:44.009 --> 00:03:48.009 animated and stuff like that. Honestly, it's 00:03:48.009 --> 00:03:51.689 really been a new thing for him, too, because 00:03:51.689 --> 00:03:53.870 I joined the business. I went to St. Lawrence 00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:57.150 University for one semester, had a 3 .9 GPA, 00:03:57.250 --> 00:03:59.750 said I'm done with this. There's just no point 00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:02.270 for me to be here. I went for creative writing. 00:04:02.990 --> 00:04:06.090 I love the creative stuff. I put that into my 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.789 own videos now instead of actually doing something 00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:11.219 or publishing a piece of writing. publishing 00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:15.919 a piece of content from the writing. But I just 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.600 wanted to grow the understanding that Syracuse 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.879 is not boring, but the residents are lazy. Clearly. 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:27.519 Why do I say the residents are lazy is because 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.699 I was there once. Syracuse freaking sucks, man. 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.100 There's nothing to do here. No, there is. It's 00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:35.139 just not marketed. You have to look it up yourself. 00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:36.709 A lot of people don't want to do that. I feel 00:04:36.709 --> 00:04:38.769 like everybody says that about their town, right? 00:04:38.910 --> 00:04:40.990 I feel like you could live in Vegas and people 00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:42.870 there are like, oh, it's overrated. I hate the 00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:45.449 strip. You know, there's that part of it, too. 00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:49.990 Yeah. No, I think that's phenomenal. And it works. 00:04:50.009 --> 00:04:53.089 And you can tell because your stuff frequently 00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:55.970 does incredibly well. And you get so much interaction 00:04:55.970 --> 00:04:59.870 and shares. And people really dig it. I'd love 00:04:59.870 --> 00:05:02.899 to know. How do you sort of choose your topics? 00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:05.000 Because like Mike said, you don't necessarily 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.240 hit one particular niche other than being really 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:13.620 local. How do you choose your next video? I'll 00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:15.600 be driving in the car, jamming out to music. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.180 Boom, idea in my head. I got my voice memo ready. 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.839 Yep. Voice memo goes in. I have a structure for 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.240 the way that I make my videos. And I just plug 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.060 the idea into the structure and go from there. 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.720 And then the hardest part for me is figuring 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.439 out the visual aspect of the video. The only 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.459 thing I know very well is let's go get in front 00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:34.180 of this place, because I've been here before. 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.040 Other than that, the other shots are just as 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.120 I go filming. Yeah. That's great. I feel like 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.259 driving and the shower are the two places where 00:05:44.259 --> 00:05:46.379 I personally think of them. I'm serious. That's 00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:48.860 where I think of the most ideas. Do you find 00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:50.959 that too? Yeah, driving is definitely the one. 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.519 Because, you know, I'm looking at stuff. I'm 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.939 driving past a building, a business, whatever 00:05:54.939 --> 00:05:56.680 it is. And then I'm like, boom, that's the one. 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.579 Now let's make it. What's cool about your stuff, 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.829 too, Is that it's not like, you know, we see 00:06:01.829 --> 00:06:03.529 a lot of people that work in real estate and 00:06:03.529 --> 00:06:05.290 they're and you can tell they're crossing into 00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:07.449 this content creation, right? They're like sometimes 00:06:07.449 --> 00:06:10.610 begrudgingly. Yes, most of the time. And, you 00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:12.649 know, it's it's they're doing it as a compliment 00:06:12.649 --> 00:06:15.550 to their career. For you, it's almost the opposite. 00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:17.389 Like you're just you're doing this these great 00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:19.129 videos. You're creating all this great content. 00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:20.850 It's like, oh, and by the way, he's a realtor 00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:23.060 as well. which I think is a sign of the younger 00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.040 generation. It's the right approach. Yeah, it's 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.279 the right approach. That's what you're supposed 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.240 to do. And it's impressive. And I think it's 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.560 a sign of this generation. That's what it's going 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.339 to be like, is that the content creation comes 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:35.899 first. And I love it. Yeah. I mean, I think he 00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:39.199 and Alex know if you agree with this, but I think 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.120 you sort of understand that idea of connect with 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.920 people first. And that doesn't matter what you're 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.860 doing. They're just open to it. Right. And I 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:52.819 think too many people are focused. people go, 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.660 well, don't make a viral video, because that 00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:57.019 doesn't generate business that walks in the door. 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.980 You don't understand how any of this works. You 00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:03.579 know what I mean? It's incredible. And what you 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.199 need to do is, like I said, connect with those 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.639 people. And I think too many people are out here 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.560 making ads. They're like, I'm going to make this 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.720 viral video to say, hey, buy this house. It's 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.339 got a nice garage. It's not the same thing. And 00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.569 what they don't realize is, You don't have to 00:07:20.569 --> 00:07:24.110 make an ad. The content is the ad, right? You 00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:25.970 don't have to say, come buy this. People figure 00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:29.050 it out, right? Make the good content, and then 00:07:29.050 --> 00:07:33.529 they... What kind of inspired you, or what do 00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:35.069 you think about as you're making those things 00:07:35.069 --> 00:07:39.529 with kind of business ideas in mind? That's a 00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:43.110 really good question. I mean, what really got 00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:48.250 me there was just seeing how... I hated Syracuse 00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:50.649 at one point. And I'm like, I just got to get 00:07:50.649 --> 00:07:52.050 out of here. That's legitimate. You know, the 00:07:52.050 --> 00:07:54.129 cold weather, this, that. I've noticed it's not 00:07:54.129 --> 00:07:56.250 the cold weather. It's not the snow. It's just 00:07:56.250 --> 00:07:58.449 the gray skies. OK, sure. And there's a lot more 00:07:58.449 --> 00:08:00.870 than gray skies here. We just have to get it 00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:03.269 out there. And there's not a lot of people trying 00:08:03.269 --> 00:08:06.089 to get stuff out there. But then again, I'm also 00:08:06.089 --> 00:08:08.569 somebody who is very, you know, I've grown up 00:08:08.569 --> 00:08:10.750 around my father who's always been super loyal 00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:13.569 and like super into the business. loyalty to 00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:15.569 the point where it's like you hurt yourself almost 00:08:15.569 --> 00:08:17.449 because you're dealing with clients that maybe 00:08:17.449 --> 00:08:20.870 are treating you poorly and so I'm one of those 00:08:20.870 --> 00:08:23.069 people who I want to build the loyalty or the 00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:26.870 relationship with somebody and I'm 21 I have 00:08:26.870 --> 00:08:28.870 no clue how to do that I got I have nobody to 00:08:28.870 --> 00:08:31.610 talk to because you know Joe's got all the business 00:08:31.610 --> 00:08:33.190 all the connections and stuff like that so I'm 00:08:33.190 --> 00:08:36.309 just like well how do I follow in his footsteps 00:08:36.309 --> 00:08:39.330 but let's make it even bigger because shoot for 00:08:39.330 --> 00:08:41.509 the stars and aim for the moon shoot for the 00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:43.850 stars whatever I love that. That's an entrepreneurial 00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:46.129 mindset, man. You're only 21. That's brilliant. 00:08:46.210 --> 00:08:48.990 You're going places, man. Tell us a little bit 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:52.570 about the real estate agent. What type of listings 00:08:52.570 --> 00:08:55.090 do you typically have? Do you got any that are 00:08:55.090 --> 00:08:56.629 kind of hot you think folks might want to check 00:08:56.629 --> 00:08:59.769 out? Well, we do a lot of commercial real estate. 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:01.990 We have a few other agents in our office that 00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:04.929 do primarily residential. Gotcha. So commercial 00:09:04.929 --> 00:09:08.129 real estate as a 21 -year -old is like sometimes 00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:10.750 can be like watching paint dry. Sure. But I'm 00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:14.659 also... I'm one of those people who let's get 00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:16.519 right down to business. I get, I have a little 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.139 bit of struggle with the emotional side of things 00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:19.919 just because I'm like, do you want it or not? 00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:25.159 But that's also something that's, you know, the 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.940 content creation has helped me with that as being 00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:30.620 like switching into that mode of acting or like 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:33.500 being in character. So I've been doing a little 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:35.220 bit better about the emotional thing. So it's 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:40.259 like, but yeah, so we got a listing on James 00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:42.700 street right now. There's a salon there. And 00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:46.200 it's fully outfitted. It's got all the chairs, 00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:48.860 all the stuff you need, mirrors already in there 00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:51.259 in place, ready to go. So it's turnkey for a 00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:55.039 user to get right in. In addition to the commercial 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.080 properties, do you ever do business sales as 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.299 well? I do not personally. We have one agent 00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:02.980 who does more. Her name is Amanda Rollins. She 00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:06.759 does a lot of business sales. Are you seeing 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.960 the... market feeling really good in the commercial 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.000 world given everything that's happening and is 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.340 it Is it is it moving in a good direction? Do 00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:17.779 you feel like great? Yeah, great Great. Yeah. 00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:21.259 Yeah, I love it. I love it with Mike Ron coming. 00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:25.500 Are you you must be like Right. Well, I'm sure 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:27.899 you guys have heard about the delay. Yeah, so 00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:31.620 a Lot we got a lot of calls from business owners 00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:33.960 or clients that we work with and who were very 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.539 concerned about the delay We actually I just 00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:38.960 recorded a podcast with Joe Joe Joe's my father. 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:43.200 I just calm sure so But we recorded like a podcast 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.159 style thing and we were talking about how It's 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.000 it's not really a delay. It's just the media 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.639 dramatizing that it's right down. How are they 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.559 gonna start digging? We we already got what six 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.899 five four four to six inches on the ground already 00:10:56.899 --> 00:11:01.259 and it's been maybe not that much, but How can 00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:03.240 you start digging when the grounds already what? 00:11:03.769 --> 00:11:05.490 So they got to hold it off a little bit more. 00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:08.610 And 2026 is only two months away. So everybody's 00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:11.629 like, oh, they're delayed to 2026. It's six weeks 00:11:11.629 --> 00:11:15.289 until we're in there. Right, right. And it's 00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:18.090 literally, if my understanding is correctly, 00:11:18.389 --> 00:11:19.970 it's almost just a matter of it's going to take 00:11:19.970 --> 00:11:21.850 a little bit longer. It's not even necessarily 00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:23.929 the delay work. We're still going to break ground 00:11:23.929 --> 00:11:25.730 before Christmas. Well, and I could be wrong, 00:11:25.769 --> 00:11:28.330 but I feel like every commercial project I've 00:11:28.330 --> 00:11:31.370 ever heard of always has a date. and it never 00:11:31.370 --> 00:11:33.129 lands on that date. It always gets pushed back 00:11:33.129 --> 00:11:35.269 because there's so many factors. I think it's 00:11:35.269 --> 00:11:37.269 just a matter of the people. It's the crowd of, 00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:39.070 it ain't ever going to happen. I'll believe it 00:11:39.070 --> 00:11:41.429 when I see it. And then they just jump on that. 00:11:41.570 --> 00:11:44.710 See, it's delayed. That's exactly, you know, 00:11:44.710 --> 00:11:46.990 I think maybe your purpose, right, is to fight 00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:50.929 against that nonsense. Yes. Because I think clearly 00:11:50.929 --> 00:11:54.429 the media is intentionally stoking that, you 00:11:54.429 --> 00:11:58.549 know, and they want that. They don't want it 00:11:58.549 --> 00:12:00.970 to not happen. Right. But they want that controversy. 00:12:01.169 --> 00:12:05.009 And unfortunately, that's their world is the 00:12:05.009 --> 00:12:08.850 clickbait almost headlines that generates clicks. 00:12:09.149 --> 00:12:11.289 That's their whole world. You figured out how 00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:13.429 to generate clicks by just offering something 00:12:13.429 --> 00:12:16.750 of genuine interest and being, for the most part, 00:12:16.789 --> 00:12:19.269 very positive about our area. That's the goal. 00:12:19.309 --> 00:12:22.029 And that's why we had this conversation yesterday 00:12:22.029 --> 00:12:25.090 about the media really just digging into the 00:12:25.090 --> 00:12:28.100 bad side of things. And it's like... That's I'm 00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:30.419 trying to do the complete opposite. Yeah, and 00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:33.240 you know, I don't know you guys might have to 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.039 cut this part out but the the the piece in there 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.460 that I've noticed so far is nobody's hating on 00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:42.059 me yet Yeah, but they're hating on the topic. 00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:45.120 Don't ask for it. Exactly cuz they'll come I 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.200 mean I have had, you know some here and there 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.179 but like compared to I used to make fitness videos, 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.980 and I would get a ton of hate just on me, and 00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:53.480 then I'm like, okay, well, let's switch this 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.240 to something. I'm making something about a topic. 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.639 I'm just delivering the message. Don't shoot 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.440 the messenger, right? So far, it's been pretty 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.539 good, but the topic I'm talking about, I try 00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:06.019 to leave open to, hey, what are your thoughts 00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.799 on this? Here's my opinion, and you tell me the 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.620 worst end of it, because that's what you think. 00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:13.860 It's just more like, let's have a conversation, 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.549 a discussion. Yeah, no, and I think that's worked 00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:20.250 really well for you, man. You know, that's very 00:13:20.250 --> 00:13:22.990 much the point of Good News York here is to be 00:13:22.990 --> 00:13:28.049 the counter to the BS local news. I won't name 00:13:28.049 --> 00:13:35.450 them today, even though it's on my hat. And it's 00:13:35.450 --> 00:13:36.769 all that's why I love to see. That's why we want 00:13:36.769 --> 00:13:39.009 to have you in, because any time we can see these 00:13:39.009 --> 00:13:41.570 things, people are going around. And there's 00:13:41.570 --> 00:13:44.860 a number of creators with. with varying quality. 00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:47.659 And one of the things I want to talk about is 00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:49.620 before we went live, you mentioned that you do 00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:51.840 your own editing and everything. Can you just 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.740 talk to folks about that a little bit, kind of 00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:55.620 what your process is? Because I think people 00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:58.440 that are aspiring content creators would love 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.379 to hear about that. So scripting, I say scripting, 00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:09.419 it's not scripting in terms of like, I have no 00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:11.720 idea what I'm talking about. It's like I do all 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.240 the research before I make my script. Then I 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.840 write the script. So I know exactly what I'm 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.919 talking about. It's in my own voice. It's not 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:22.539 just like, chat GPT, write me a script. Business 00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:25.600 XYZ, here we go. But then I also do the food 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.200 reviews, which are completely different, completely 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.240 unscripted. I'm going to places that have reached 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.159 out to me. A lot of people are like, hey, you 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.519 got to come try this. I've got so many saying 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.799 I got to come try this. I'm like, guys, I do 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.830 all this. I can't take it. So I have actually 00:14:40.830 --> 00:14:42.909 been looking for an editor, but that's the thing 00:14:42.909 --> 00:14:47.710 is I'm so in my own way about the value that 00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:49.669 I try to provide and the way that I try to make 00:14:49.669 --> 00:14:51.450 my videos look. I'm not trying to make them over 00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:53.129 edited or anything like that because I think 00:14:53.129 --> 00:14:57.210 it takes away from the authenticity of it. So 00:14:57.210 --> 00:15:01.950 script it. Go shoot the video wherever it is. 00:15:03.509 --> 00:15:06.110 I might shoot three to four videos in a day. 00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:09.320 Hold them out because I'm editing all of them. 00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:11.799 I've got seven videos right now that are completely 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.480 unedited. But then I'll go in, and it takes me 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.539 two hours each video. So I'm really putting time 00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:21.559 into them to try and make it something that people 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:23.500 would like to watch and can get something from. 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:26.259 Well, that's great, man. It shows, man. And honestly, 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.440 that's more efficient than a lot of people. So 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.759 I wouldn't knock you. If you can crank out a 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.600 great video in a couple hours of editing, you're 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.720 doing something right. So that's pretty cool. 00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:40.470 Thank you. I love to hear that. And I love also, 00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:43.629 when you say scripting, that's something I'd 00:15:43.629 --> 00:15:45.750 love to talk about for just a second, because 00:15:45.750 --> 00:15:48.110 especially with these social media videos, so 00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:50.090 many people think they're completely off the 00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:51.929 cuff. And once in a while, they are, right? You 00:15:51.929 --> 00:15:53.649 just capture something and it happens to be great. 00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:56.190 But if you're really trying to do something, 00:15:56.970 --> 00:15:59.629 you don't necessarily need a word for word script 00:15:59.629 --> 00:16:01.470 that you read off a prompter or something like 00:16:01.470 --> 00:16:03.889 that. But you should have at least a detailed 00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:07.529 outline of where you're going. And if you follow 00:16:07.529 --> 00:16:10.870 his videos, you'll see he uses what everyone 00:16:10.870 --> 00:16:12.629 should use, which is really sort of a storytelling 00:16:12.629 --> 00:16:16.269 format, right? You hook people in and then you 00:16:16.269 --> 00:16:18.029 kind of tell the story and keep their interest 00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:20.429 throughout the whole video. It can still be organic. 00:16:20.750 --> 00:16:23.070 Right. With plot points. But know what you're 00:16:23.070 --> 00:16:26.269 going to do. Yeah, absolutely. And it's a night 00:16:26.269 --> 00:16:28.789 and day difference in those style videos. Yeah. 00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:33.750 I mean, even just from, I'll look back at my 00:16:33.750 --> 00:16:36.769 fitness videos that I would post. They were just 00:16:36.769 --> 00:16:38.750 plain, like there was nothing to it. When am 00:16:38.750 --> 00:16:42.610 I providing somebody a picture of when I weighed 00:16:42.610 --> 00:16:44.250 a lot more and then I lost a ton of weight and 00:16:44.250 --> 00:16:46.470 I'm here? Sure. Okay, what does anybody get from 00:16:46.470 --> 00:16:50.350 that? So then you go and you're like, how can 00:16:50.350 --> 00:16:52.429 I give somebody watching a video about Destiny 00:16:52.429 --> 00:16:54.730 USA where they think crime happens every single 00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:56.269 day, people are getting shot, people are getting 00:16:56.269 --> 00:16:58.590 stabbed? How can I provide somebody value enough 00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:00.450 to watch it and make them think after the video? 00:17:00.970 --> 00:17:02.769 man, I should really go there. Yeah. You know, 00:17:02.769 --> 00:17:03.970 I haven't been there in a while. It's really 00:17:03.970 --> 00:17:06.990 not that it's really not that unsafe. It's just 00:17:06.990 --> 00:17:10.009 all the bad stuff is just marketed way more than 00:17:10.009 --> 00:17:12.549 any of the good stuff, you know, 100 percent. 00:17:13.069 --> 00:17:16.309 No, I love that. It's like us, man. And I love 00:17:16.309 --> 00:17:19.029 household of just sort of supporting the mall 00:17:19.029 --> 00:17:21.210 for no reason other than that. That I'm old and 00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:23.950 I love malls. Yeah. And the funny part about 00:17:23.950 --> 00:17:26.049 that is is you're absolutely right. If you listen 00:17:26.049 --> 00:17:28.109 to the media or you read any of the comments. 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.799 that place is like the Wild West and you better 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.079 bring your vest and your machine gun or something 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.140 to survive. In reality, you could go there right 00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:41.240 now in the middle of a business day, not right 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.420 now, not quite open yet, but you go there in 00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.660 the middle of a business day and the place will 00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:47.140 be packed and there will be people walking around 00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:49.140 and doing business and things. And it's like, 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.920 they didn't get the message, you know, which 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.680 is great. It's an incredible resource with things 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.099 to do beyond, we don't really even shop there 00:17:57.099 --> 00:18:00.529 quite as much. You dine and, you know, have experiences 00:18:00.529 --> 00:18:02.690 with the kids and all kinds of crazy things. 00:18:03.470 --> 00:18:06.529 But again, I just love kind of breaking those 00:18:06.529 --> 00:18:10.769 myths in a way that's better than just, you know, 00:18:11.569 --> 00:18:14.809 a lecturing Facebook book. Hey, guys, the mall's 00:18:14.809 --> 00:18:17.029 actually great. You know, that works well. You're 00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:19.109 out there on the front lines doing it. Can we 00:18:19.109 --> 00:18:20.730 talk about it for a minute? Because you mentioned 00:18:20.730 --> 00:18:22.549 it in this. This might be one of my favorite 00:18:22.549 --> 00:18:24.369 videos of yours. What's the video where you talk 00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:27.579 about Wegmans? And I think this is really interesting. 00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:29.660 Could you, for the folks that haven't seen it, 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.099 can you just kind of give the summary of how 00:18:32.099 --> 00:18:34.259 their property owners as well and how that piece 00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:36.099 of their business might come together? Right. 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.700 So I immediately think of the Wegmans on Taft 00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:42.059 Road just because I go to the gym over there. 00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:46.000 So that Wegmans, if you ever go look at the space, 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.819 the whole entire building looks the same. And 00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:51.960 then you've got. dollar general or a dollar tree 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.799 in there Evolve Fitness which used to it was 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.480 formerly Blink and then they got an Ollum's in 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.259 there So you notice that it's one owner because 00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:04.740 the whole building was the same Wegmans is the 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.720 owner and they're leasing it out to other companies 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.559 They have their sister company of the liquor 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.559 store in there because they can't sell it in 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.000 the grocery store Gotcha, so they're doing you 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.740 know their own lease in there selling liquor 00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:20.029 as well, but outside of that It's all on one 00:19:20.029 --> 00:19:21.829 piece of land. They're renting it out They're 00:19:21.829 --> 00:19:24.430 gaining the income from all of that making the 00:19:24.430 --> 00:19:26.930 building essentially free, you know, maybe not 00:19:26.930 --> 00:19:28.589 it depends on the numbers We don't know the service 00:19:28.589 --> 00:19:33.769 but sure so Wegmans is getting a free store Plus 00:19:33.769 --> 00:19:35.890 they get the revenue from all their sales. Yeah 00:19:35.890 --> 00:19:38.750 food and groceries and stuff like that. So You 00:19:38.750 --> 00:19:40.410 know, it's genius likely how they make that we're 00:19:40.410 --> 00:19:43.529 very similar to the McDonald's. Yep model that 00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:46.019 everybody watched that movie with I hate to bring 00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:48.359 it up again. Wegmans in Ithaca did the same thing. 00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:50.180 They bought a liquor store across the street. 00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:51.680 I didn't realize what they were doing. One day 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.559 I went into the liquor store and it's like, type 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:55.319 in your Wegmans shoppers card. And I'm like, 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.720 why is there a Wegmans terminal here? So this 00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.900 must be a thing they're doing not just where 00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:01.700 I'm at. In New York state, you can't sell liquor 00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:04.539 in a grocery store. Right, right. Yeah, so they 00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:07.119 are. A little liquor store can have. Costco in 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.440 Camillus has a little liquor store like just 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.140 outside the door. There's a little like almost 00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:13.019 side door and there's a little separate liquor 00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:15.819 store. Can't eat Wegmans. Monopolizing, man. 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.200 Wow. It's smart business. It is. And I think 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:24.019 that's kind of neat. You know, in the real estate 00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:26.440 world, I guess in commercial real estate, let 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.059 me ask you this. How many of your properties 00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:33.319 are sort of one tenant versus, you know, even 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.599 if the owner is there, there's multiple units 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:39.359 that they're using to offset? Is it a considerable 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.980 number, probably, with a lot of units? Actually, 00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:44.940 a lot of commercial A lot of commercial properties 00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:48.059 aren't owner occupied. There are some here and 00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:50.799 there, but we see a lot more that aren't owner 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:55.039 occupied. Wow. They're almost all investment 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.859 properties for folks. That's incredible. Do you 00:20:57.859 --> 00:21:00.660 do property management as well? We do do property 00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:05.519 management. We just took a 12 unit luxury apartment, 00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:11.220 completely turned it around. The tenants were 00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:14.190 basically just spun in a wheel and then sure, 00:21:14.190 --> 00:21:17.869 you know, we had new tenants come in and We did 00:21:17.869 --> 00:21:20.430 a lot cleaning it up painting all the units just 00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:23.309 making it refreshed Getting you know the word 00:21:23.309 --> 00:21:25.950 out there for it's right across from st. Joseph's 00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:29.950 Hospital gotcha and So we just redid that and 00:21:29.950 --> 00:21:32.410 it's like a brand new property. That's awesome. 00:21:32.430 --> 00:21:35.670 So That's the way to do it man. You know, so 00:21:35.670 --> 00:21:38.309 many people talk about horrible places to live 00:21:38.309 --> 00:21:40.410 and things like that, but when Property owners 00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:42.730 take care of it update things on a regular basis 00:21:42.730 --> 00:21:45.069 get people a nice place to live. You know, it's 00:21:45.069 --> 00:21:48.289 that's the way to do it That's good business. 00:21:48.309 --> 00:21:51.069 I think we should do a quick rapid fire if you're 00:21:51.069 --> 00:21:53.289 okay. You got it, but you're the boss. All right 00:21:53.289 --> 00:21:56.990 We got mr. Syracuse here. Yeah, okay best burger 00:21:56.990 --> 00:22:00.490 in town Better burger better burger better burger. 00:22:00.490 --> 00:22:02.710 Just tried it out got a whole new I got like 00:22:02.710 --> 00:22:05.089 20 minutes of raw footage to edit which is a 00:22:05.089 --> 00:22:08.299 ton Yeah, where is that? It's in Liverpool, New 00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:10.680 York. It's on Old Liverpool Road. It used to 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.619 be a former McDonald's, actually. So they still 00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:13.799 have it. I know exactly what you're talking about. 00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.019 Yep. They still got all the old stuff, but they've 00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:19.799 repainted it and structured it to be, you know, 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.660 they got their brand colors black, purple, yellow. 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.880 Awesome place. You want to know something even 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.000 funnier? They're a burger place, but their chicken's 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.019 better. You know, that's a new thing. Because 00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:31.400 someone told me that about Shake Shack, that 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.460 their burgers are great. Their chicken's phenomenal, 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.880 too. I love that. Juiciest pizza. Have you guys 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.380 tried Dave's hot chicken? Not yet. No. Go to 00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:42.759 Dave's. Go to Better Burger. Tell me which one 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:44.460 you like more. All right. Better than Chick -fil 00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:48.839 -A? Different. OK. That's fair. Chick -fil -A 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.400 isn't as like... I would compare it to Tully's 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.740 Tenders rather than, you know, like a little 00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:56.039 bit more crispy, but they're actually seasoned. 00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:59.359 OK. That's awesome. Best pizza in town, and then 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.259 I'll get off food. I like Paladino's, but I've 00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:05.099 heard great things about... Angelo's, Angelo's 00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:07.259 pizza. You know, he does the guy, the one guy 00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:09.440 that does his own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, is that 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.799 where he like makes a pie on social media? That's 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.619 the secret thing there, yeah. Eight people get 00:23:14.619 --> 00:23:17.299 it. I don't know. I've heard great things about 00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:18.720 that, though. I want to try it. You should team 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.240 up with them. Amanda's actually been trying to 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:24.339 get in. It fills up so quick. Yeah. Best place 00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:27.180 to go get a drink. What type of drink are you 00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:33.420 looking for? Oof. Matt? Cocktail. Cocktail. City 00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:38.720 or not city? Either one. What's the vibe? I really 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.660 need to know. This is why he's Mr. Syracuse. 00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:43.319 You can't just give an answer out. You got to 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.480 know. Relaxed. How about that? Relaxed? You want 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.920 to have a conversation? Yeah. Al's Wine and Whiskey? 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.420 Yes. That's my spot. I love that place. That 00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:53.640 is my go -to. You know, I'm not trying to shout 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.559 myself out, but in my Instagram bio, I have... 00:23:56.190 --> 00:23:58.710 a link, a Hoobie link. If you click on the link, 00:23:58.750 --> 00:24:01.190 there is a free Syracuse guide, completely free. 00:24:01.509 --> 00:24:04.769 That's restaurants, cocktails, kids menus, you 00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:07.130 know, or kids restaurants that are kid -friendly, 00:24:07.849 --> 00:24:11.230 dog parks, everything. I love it. I mean, the 00:24:11.230 --> 00:24:13.109 only thing I'm missing out is like, you know, 00:24:13.230 --> 00:24:14.710 barbershops, tattoo shop, stuff like that. Sure, 00:24:14.750 --> 00:24:16.410 we'll get there. We'll get there, yeah. He's 00:24:16.410 --> 00:24:18.190 going to have to get a few tattoos, but... I 00:24:18.190 --> 00:24:20.609 got a few tattoos. There you go. There you go. 00:24:20.869 --> 00:24:23.150 Dude, Mr. Syracuse. This is incredible, man. 00:24:23.190 --> 00:24:25.970 This is incredible. I'm going to give... One 00:24:25.970 --> 00:24:29.609 more best, because you mentioned, you know, kids 00:24:29.609 --> 00:24:31.809 restaurants and things. I'd love to hear your 00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:35.470 best in town. And I know I don't know. I'm assuming 00:24:35.470 --> 00:24:37.470 you don't have a big family with with a lot of 00:24:37.470 --> 00:24:41.430 children just yet. But if you did, what's the 00:24:41.430 --> 00:24:47.509 best family activity in Syracuse? Great. Look 00:24:47.509 --> 00:24:49.869 at the thought he put. Yeah, it's really I love 00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:52.329 it. This is what happens versus, like, every 00:24:52.329 --> 00:24:54.390 video goes into this. Because you care. You want 00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:56.089 to give the right answer. I love it. Well, are 00:24:56.089 --> 00:24:58.589 we doing a full day trip or is it just one experience? 00:24:58.930 --> 00:25:02.230 One experience. One experience? I mean, have 00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:03.910 I ever done it before? Am I doing it again or 00:25:03.910 --> 00:25:06.349 am I brand new to this? Bloody of the above. 00:25:06.950 --> 00:25:08.730 If I'm brand new, I'm going to the mall just 00:25:08.730 --> 00:25:10.769 because it's one of the biggest in the United 00:25:10.769 --> 00:25:13.009 States. Why wouldn't you go to the mall? 100%. 00:25:13.009 --> 00:25:15.130 I love it. And then when the aquarium is built, 00:25:15.569 --> 00:25:18.359 I got to check out the aquarium. I can't breathe. 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:20.240 And when Ikea's in there, too, it's going to 00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:22.099 be even better. I went to an Ikea for the first 00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:23.900 time down in Florida. What's it like? I've never 00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:25.819 been to one. I was lost. We got lost. We were 00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:28.299 in there for, like, seriously an hour just, like, 00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.660 walking around. So tell me this, right? What 00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:32.599 is the size of the one in Destiny? It's going 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.940 to be about 70 ,000 square feet, to my knowledge. 00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:37.960 And people tell me that that's one of their small 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.859 ones. Yeah, that is a smaller one. What? Remember 00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:44.619 the massive, Danny, remember the massive space 00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:47.039 we almost rented? This is twice the size of that. 00:25:47.099 --> 00:25:49.859 What are you? That's incredible. And that's a 00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:52.000 small, that's a small location. It's one of their 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.259 small locations here. I don't even know. It sounds 00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:58.259 like I'm just picturing this, but it sounds like 00:25:58.259 --> 00:26:01.079 the full blown ones are essentially a mall in 00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.460 themselves. Is that sort of accurate? Yeah, because 00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:05.420 they got the they got a food court, Swedish food 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:08.259 court in there. And then you go into like the 00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:12.460 showroom. You can buy like this room is they'll 00:26:12.460 --> 00:26:15.039 have two of these right next to each other. Basically, 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.589 you could buy like the whole set. And then it 00:26:17.589 --> 00:26:21.150 just goes, that's for the full size Ikea's, but 00:26:21.150 --> 00:26:24.089 I don't know what they're gonna have here. And 00:26:24.089 --> 00:26:26.769 it's like, and then you also have, you walk out 00:26:26.769 --> 00:26:28.470 and they have the full warehouse. It's like Costco. 00:26:29.029 --> 00:26:31.190 You know, you got all the setup and then you 00:26:31.190 --> 00:26:33.509 walk into their Costco warehouse of actually 00:26:33.509 --> 00:26:35.250 Ikea warehouse. You know, it's an Ikea warehouse. 00:26:35.890 --> 00:26:37.750 All the items are in there and then they got 00:26:37.750 --> 00:26:40.450 another little grocery store and some cookies 00:26:40.450 --> 00:26:45.190 before you walk out. Yes. It's a commune. What 00:26:45.190 --> 00:26:48.849 is Ikea's I'm so out of the loop is Ikea's whole 00:26:48.849 --> 00:26:51.710 thing like isn't it? It's Swedish furniture that 00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:53.410 you know, it's easy to put together. Is that 00:26:53.410 --> 00:26:56.029 is that the mission statement? I suppose it cuts 00:26:56.029 --> 00:26:58.009 a lot of cost because you put it together on 00:26:58.009 --> 00:27:00.319 your own so you don't have to pay for it. Come 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.200 in, people putting it together. This would be 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:06.299 nice but affordable. I think is the idea. I'd 00:27:06.299 --> 00:27:08.359 be the only guy in the street to have to hire 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:10.380 someone to put together my Ikea furniture. We're 00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:12.440 going to have to take the show on the road. Dude, 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.099 I'm in. 70 ,000 square feet. Imagine if we lose 00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:17.740 Mike in the store. I'll put a balloon on my wrist. 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.339 We did that at my bachelor party in Nashville. 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.559 My friends put a balloon on me. So when we were 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:23.920 walking down the street, you just saw a little 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.759 balloon. This actually might be the best idea 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:28.880 I've ever heard. All right. Enough of this nonsense. 00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:31.839 Alec, tell people where they could find you, 00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:33.799 all the socials, things like that. All the plugs. 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:39.779 So all social media is alecscrippa on Facebook, 00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.279 LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok. I'm just starting 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.460 on YouTube, living in Syracuse, New York. So 00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:49.880 if you're new to the Syracuse area, everything's 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:51.339 going to be on there. I'm going to post all my 00:27:51.339 --> 00:27:53.380 videos to shorts. And then we're going to make 00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:56.140 longer videos going through. You know, the mall, 00:27:56.339 --> 00:27:57.680 stuff like that. Just what it would be like to 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.660 live here. So that's awesome, man. Mr. Syracuse, 00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:04.359 Alex Skrippa, realtor, digital creator, a man 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.099 of the people. That's right. Thank you for coming 00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:10.680 on Good News York. Sponsored by Ads on the Go. 00:28:11.259 --> 00:28:13.059 Get ads on the go dot com. Hey, I got it. Before 00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:16.640 we go, I got to say, as you mentioned, our man, 00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:18.980 Zach, with ads on the go, I got a text yesterday 00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:22.200 from my buddy and he goes, Hey, did you buy an 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:25.440 ad truck or did you just get? I get ads on it, 00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:28.079 which me buying one of those is very likely. 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:31.759 But no, that's my buddy Zach from ads on the 00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:34.619 go. He's our sponsor and it's incredible. And 00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:36.480 I love people seeing it. Like it's literally, 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.039 you know, he was here earlier this week or last 00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:42.119 we got on it all together. But, you know, like 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.880 he says, there's, they're unskippable ads that 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.599 people can't unsee it. Take attention. So they 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:50.140 just thought that you bought a truck and drove 00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:51.240 around with your face on it? Well, they saw our 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:56.700 ad. It was our GNY ad. Anyway, shout out again 00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:59.759 to our man, Zach. The advertising works. The 00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.579 advertising works. I can literally say that with 00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:03.740 confidence. It kind of reminds me of Zach in 00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:06.119 a way, just young, entrepreneurial, crushing 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.940 it. Young, smart dudes, dude. The kids are okay. 00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:12.359 I believe the children are our future. All right, 00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:16.359 don't ever do that again. We got to go. Okay. 00:29:16.569 --> 00:29:17.410 Peace out.
