So this morning I was like, is this good enough for you, Matt? Is this good enough? And we got what color watch we got today? We're going black. Oh. Yeah, we want black because of the black and white. Yeah, okay.

Matt makes fun of my... The color coordinates is one. Anyway, we've got an incredible guest today, guys, and we're going to introduce them in just a second. But before we do, I just... I got to talk about this because I think it's cool as hell. One of the guys on my IT team came in today with this incredible bit of Syracuse history.

This is a record, by the way. I had to tell our intern what it was. Are we that old? I'm not kidding. She's like, what is that? Oh, man. Oh, fuck. It is the history of Syracuse volume 2, 1957 through 1971.

We have not yet played this, but we're going to. The record is in great shape. I really got to hear some of these tracks, if you will. These hot tracks. Are these bands or are they jingles? Oh, no, no. These are bands that were from Syracuse. No shit.

Jan and the Radiance, Billy Ken and the Madisons. There's always somebody in the somebody's. It should be Billy Fisilo and the New York Rock. Yeah, right, right, right. Pineapple herd, though. This is my best. That is still might even be a phenomenal. There was a band called, what was it, 805 back in the 80s?

They didn't make it on, oh, this is before their time. This is before, but they were Udica. Yeah. Wow. Otis and the, Otis and the all night workers. All night workers. They don't make band names like this anymore. And those construction workers or ladies are the names?

night. What are we talking about? Anyway. We have a guest. We do. I'm excited about this one. Tell us about this man. This man is a real estate agent or realtor. I don't know the proper term. He'll tell us. Yeah. But he is also a really, really, really good content creator. Like, top-notch stuff. Does a lot of funny videos. You know, he does videos about Syracuse and some of the businesses in it. And then he does like, you know, food wars. What city has the best? food, and he is deemed himself as Mr. Syracuse. And I can't think of a better guy than Alex Scrippa. What's up?

How are you, man? Yes, Alex. How are you guys? This is very exciting, because like Mike said, you were an incredibly talented creator, and clearly we're in that game. So we have an eye out for that and have nothing but respect for it. And one of the reasons I have so much respect for it is you're clearly somebody who is using content to build their traditional business, right? And there's a lot of people in real estate

these days who have been, I want to say a lot of real estate folks have really been sort of on the forefront of trying to create content. But not all of them, you know, hit the mark. You've found really unique ways to not just show a property, but really dig into the city. Can you tell us a little bit about, well, first of all, tell us a little bit about yourself. And then let's talk about your content. Well, my name is Alex Scrippa. I'm 21. I grew up in Cicero.

And I've grown up in the business of real estate. My father is ancient now. He's getting old. He's got the gray hair. He's got all the real estate knowledge. But I've got the spark and the creativity. I like to be animated and stuff like that. So honestly, it's just, it's really been a new thing for him, too, because I joined the business.

I went to St. Lawrence University for one semester, had a 3.9 GPA, said, I'm done with this. I can't. There's just no point for me to be here. I went for creative writing. So I love the creative. Yeah, sure. So I put that into my own videos now instead of actually doing something or publishing a piece of writing, I'm publishing a piece of content from the writing. Yeah. But I just wanted to grow the understanding that Syracuse is not boring. but the residents are lazy. Clearly. Why do I say the residents are lazy is because I was there once. Syracuse freaking sucks, man.

Right. There's nothing to do here. No, there is. It's just not marketed. You have to look it up yourself. A lot of people don't want to do that. Everybody says that about their town, right? Like, I feel like you can live in Vegas and people there are like,

oh, it's overrated. I hate the strip. You know, there's that part of it, too. Yeah. No, I think that's phenomenal. And it works, and you can tell because your stuff, frequently does incredibly well, and you get so much interaction and shares, and people really dig it. I'd love to know how do you sort of choose your topics? Because like Mike said, you

don't necessarily hit one particular niche other than being really local. How do you choose your next video? I'll be driving in the car, jamming out to music. Boom, idea of my head. I got my voice memo ready. Yep. Voice memo goes in. I have a structure for the way that I make my videos and I just plug the idea into the structure and go from there. And then it, you know, the hardest part for me is figuring out the visual aspect of the video. The only thing I know very well is let's go get in front of this place because I've been here before. Other than that, the other shots are just as I go filming. Yeah. That's great. I feel like driving and the shower are the two places where I personally think of them. I'm serious. That's why I think of the most ideas.

Do you find, do you find that too? Yeah, driving is definitely the one. Because, you know, I'm looking at stuff. I'm driving past a building, a business, whatever it is. And then I'm like, boom, that's the one. Now, let's make it. What's cool about your stuff, too, is that it's not like, you know, we see a lot of people that work in real estate and they're, and you can tell, now they're crossing into this content creation, right?

They're like. Sometimes begrudgingly. Right. Yes, most of the time. And, you know, it's, they're doing it as a compliment to their career. For you, it's almost the opposite. Like, you're just, you're doing these great videos. You're creating all this great content.

And it's like, oh, and by the way, he's a realtor as well. which I think is a sign of the younger generation. Yeah, it's the right approach. It's what you're supposed to. And it's impressive. And I think it's a sign of like this generation. That's what it's going to be like is that the content creation comes first. And I love it.

Yeah. I mean, I think he and Al, let us know if you agree with this. But I think you sort of understand that idea of connect with people first. And that doesn't matter what you're doing. They're just open to it. Right. And I think too many people are focused. you hear people go, well, don't make a viral video because that doesn't generate business that

walks in the door. You don't understand how any of this works. You know what I mean? It's incredible. And what you need to do is, like I said, connect with those people. And I think too many people are out here making ads. You know, they're like, I'm going to make this viral video to say, hey, buy this house. It's got a nice garage.

You know, like it's not the same thing. And what they don't realize is you don't have. to make an ad. The content is the ad, right? You don't have to say come buy this. People figure it out. Right. Make the good content and then they and then they... What you know, what

kind of inspired you or what do you think about as you're making those things with kind of business ideas in mind? That's a really good question. I mean, what really got me there was just seeing how I hated Syracuse

at one point. And I'm like, I just I've got to get out of here. You know, the cold weather, this, that. I've noticed it's not the cold weather. It's not the snow. It's just the gray skies. Okay. And there's a lot more than gray skies here.

We just have to get it out there. And there's not a lot of people trying to get stuff out there. But then again, I'm also somebody who's very, you know, I've grown up around my father who's always been super loyal and like super into the business loyalty to the point where it's like you hurt yourself almost because you're dealing with clients that maybe are treating you poorly. And so. I'm one of those people who I want to build the loyalty or the relationship with somebody. And I'm 21, I have no clue how to do that.

I have nobody to talk to because, you know, Joe's got all the business, all the connections and stuff like that. So I'm just like, well, how do I follow in his footsteps? But let's make it even bigger because shoot for the stars and aim for the moon, shoot for the stars, whatever. I love that. That's an entrepreneurial mindset, man. And you're only 21.

That's brilliant. You're going places, man. Tell us a little bit about it's a real estate agent. What type of listings do you typically have? You got any that are kind of hot? You think folks might want to check out? Well, we do a lot of commercial real estate. We have a few other agents in our office that do primarily residential.

So commercial real estate as a 21-year-old is like sometimes can be like watching paint dry. Sure. But I'm also one of those people who let's get right down to business. I have a little bit of struggle with the emotional side of things just because I'm like, do you want it or not? It's just like, but that's also something that's, you know, the content creation has helped me with that as being like switching into that mode of acting or like being in character. So I've been doing a little bit better about the emotional thing. So it's like, but yeah, so we got a listing on James Street right now. There's a salon there and it's fully outfitted.

It's got, you know, it's got all the chairs, all the stuff you need, mirrors already in there and place ready to go. so it's turnkey for a user to get right in. Do you, in addition to the commercial properties, do you ever do business sales as well? I do not personally. We have one agent who does more. Her name is Amanda Rollins. She does a lot of business sales.

Are you seeing the market feeling really good in the commercial world, given everything that's happening? And is it moving in a good direction, do you feel like? Great. Yeah. Great. Great. Yeah.

I love it. I love it. With Mike Ron coming, you must be like, right? Well, I'm sure you guys have heard about the delay. Yeah. So we got a lot of calls from business owners or clients that we work with and who were very concerned about the delay. And we actually, I just recorded a podcast with Joe.

Joe's my father. I just call him Joe. Sure. But we recorded like a podcast style thing. And we were talking about how it's not really a delay. It's just the media dramatizing. that it's slowing down. How are they going to start digging? We already got, what, six, five, four, four to six inches on the ground already and it's been maybe not that much, but how can you start

digging when the ground's already wet? You know, so they got to hold it off a little bit more. And in 2026 is only two months away. Yeah. Yeah. So everybody's like, oh, they're delayed to 2026. It's six weeks until we're in there. Right, right. And it's, it's literally, my understanding It's almost just a matter of it's going to take a little bit longer. It's not even necessarily the delay work. We're still going to break ground before Christmas. Well, and I could be wrong, but I feel like every commercial project I've ever heard of always has a date and it never lands on that date. It always gets pushed back because there's so many factors.

I think it's just a matter of the people. It's the crowd of, it ain't ever going to happen. I'll believe it when I see it. And then they just jump on that. See, it's delayed. That's exactly, you know, I think maybe your purpose, right, is to fight against that knot. sense. Yes. Because I think clearly the media is intentionally stoking that, you know, and they want that. They don't want it to not happen. Right. But they want that controversy. And unfortunately,

that's their world is the, you know, clickbait almost headlines that generates clicks. That's their whole world. You figured out how to generate clicks by just offering something of genuine interest. Yeah. And being for the most part very positive about our. area. That's that's the goal and that's why we had this conversation yesterday about the media really just digging into the to the bad side of things and it's like that's I'm trying to do the complete opposite. Yeah. And you know, I don't know you guys might have to cut this part out, but the piece in there that I've noticed so far is nobody's hating on me yet. Yeah. But they're hating on the topic. Don't ask for it. Exactly. Because they'll come. I mean, I have had some here and there,

but like compared to, I used to make, you know, fitness videos and I would get a ton of hate just on me. And then I'm like, okay, well, let's switch this to something. I'm making something about a topic. I'm just delivering the message. Sure. Message. Don't shoot the messenger, right? Yeah.

So so far, it's been pretty good. But the topic I'm talking about, I try to leave open to, hey, what are your thoughts on this? Not here's my opinion and you tell me the worst end of it. Because that's what you think. It's just more like, let's have a conversation, a discussion. So. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I think that's worked really well for you, man. You know, that's very much the point of Good News York here is to be the counter to the BS local news. I won't name them today, even though it's on my hat. And it's all, that's why we love to see it. That's why we wanted to have you in, because anytime we can see these things, people are going around. And there's a number of creators with varying quality.

And one of the things I want to talk about is before we went live, you mentioned that you do your own editing and everything. And can you just talk to folks about that a little bit, kind of what your process is? Because I think people that are aspiring content creators would love to hear about that. So scripting, I say scripting. It's not scripting in terms of like, I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's like I do all the research before I make my script. Yeah. Then I write the script.

So I know exactly what I'm talking about. in my own voice. It's not just like, chat GPT, write me a script for, you know, business XYZ, here we go. But then I also do the food reviews, which are completely different, completely unscripted. I'm going to places that have reached out to me. A lot of people are like, hey, you got to come try this. I've got to come try this. I'm like, guys, I do all this. I can't, I can't take, you know, right? So, you know, I have actually been looking for an editor, but that's. It's a gentle cruising. You start to see the village, almost like a painting. Join me, travel expert Darley Newman and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises Luik Bali to learn about river cruising in France.

As we have been setting there for decades, we have been able to create deep connection with the local communities. Local connections make exploring France easy. Tune into the Travels with Darley podcast on IHeart and wherever you listen to podcasts to hear about river cruising and Unirold's 50th anniversary summer specials. What up y'all? I'm just hilarious. Have you ever had an energy drink that makes you feel? like your head is about to explode. Liquid death now makes a better-for-you energy drink.

Plus, it has essential vitamins. You can find it in four delicious flavors that has a clean taste. Scary strawberry. Strawberry with a hint of lemon. Tropical terror, which is like a pinocalada.

Orange horror. Tasty orange with a hint of orange cream. and murder mystery, my favorite, a blend of cherry cola and spices. I love a good energy drink to keep me moving, and I'm glad I now have Liquid Death Sparkling Energy to keep me awake. I can't wait to keep drinking all these delicious flavors. They have unextreme, 100 milligrams of caffeine, same as a cup of coffee. You can buy Liquid Death Sparkling Energy at Fine Retailers like 7-Eleven

or learn more at LiquidDeft.com. The thing is, I'm so in my own way about the value that I'm, I try to provide in the way that I try to make my videos look. I'm not trying to make them over-edited or anything like that. Sure. Because I think it takes away from the authenticity of it. So script it, go shoot the video. Wherever it is, you know, I might shoot three to four videos in a day, hold them out because

I'm editing all of them. I've got like seven videos right now that are completely unedited. But then I'll go in and it takes me, you know, two hours. video so I'm really putting time into them to try and make it something that people would like to watch and can get something from well that's great the shows man sure and honestly that's more efficient than a lot of people so yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't knock you if you can crank out a great video in a couple hours editing you're you're doing something right so that's that's pretty cool

thank you I I love to hear that and and I love also when you say scripting that's something I'd love to talk about for just a second because especially with these social media So many people think they're completely off the cuff. And once in a while, they are, right? You just capture something and it happens to be great. But if you're really trying to do something, you don't necessarily need a word-for-word script that you read off a

prompter or something like that. But you should have at least a detailed outline of where you're going. And if you follow his videos, you'll see he uses what everyone should use, which is really sort of a storytelling format, right? You hook people in and then you tell the story and keep their interest throughout the whole video. It can still be organic. Right.

With plot point. But know what you're going to do. Yeah. Absolutely. And it's a night and day difference in those style videos. Yeah. I mean, even just from, I'll look back at my fitness videos that I would post, they were just plain.

Like, there was nothing to it. What am I providing somebody? A picture of when I was, you know, like, I weighed a lot more and then I lost a ton of weight and I'm here. Sure. Okay. What does anybody get from that? Right.

Right. So then you go and you're like, how can I give somebody watching a video about Destiny USA where they think crime happens every single day people are getting shot, people are getting stabbed. How can I provide somebody value enough to watch it and make them think after the video? Man, I should really go there. Yeah. You know, I haven't been there in a while. It's really not that unsafe.

It's just all the bad stuff is just marketed way more than any of the good stuff, you know. 100%. No, I love that. It's like us, man. And I also love just sort of supporting the mall for no reason other than I'm old and I love malls. Yeah. And the funny part about that is, is you're absolutely right. If you listen to the media or you read any of the comments, that place is like the Wild West and you better bring your vest in your machine gun or something to survive.

In reality, you could go there right now in the middle of a business day. Not right now. Not quite open. But you go there in the middle of a business day. And the place will be packed and there will be people walking around and doing business and things. And it's like they didn't get the message, you know, which is great. It's an incredible resource with things to do beyond. We don't really even shop there quite as much.

You dine and, you know, have experiences with the kids and in all kinds of crazy things. But again, I just love kind of breaking those myths in a way that's better than just, you know, a lecturing Facebook book. Hey, guys. The mall's actually great. You know, that works well. You're out there on the front lines doing it. Can we talk about it for a minute? Because you mentioned it, and this might be one of my favorite videos of yours.

Plus the video where you talk about Wegmans. And I think this is really interesting. Could you, for the folks that haven't seen it, can you just kind of give the summary of how their property owners as well and how that piece of their business might come together? Right. So I immediately think of the Wegmans on Taft Road just because I go to the gym over there. So that Wegmans, if you ever go look at the space, the whole entire building looks the same, right? Sure.

And then you've got a dollar general or dollar tree in there, Evolve Fitness, which used to, it was formerly blink. And then they got an Olums in there. So you notice that it's one owner because the whole building looks the same. Wegmans is the owner and they're leasing it out to other companies. They have their sister company of a liquor store in there because they can't sell it in the grocery store. store. So they're doing, you know, their own lease in there selling liquor as well. But outside of that, it's all on one piece of land. They're renting it out. They're gaining the income from all of that making the building essentially free. You know, maybe not. It depends on the numbers. We don't know

the numbers. Sure. Sure. So Wegmans is getting a free store. Plus they get the revenue from all their sales for food and groceries and stuff like that. So, you know, it's genius. It's likely how they make that. We're very similar to the McDonald's model that everybody watched that movie with. I hate to bring it up again. Wegman's in I did the same thing. They bought a liquor store across the street. I didn't realize what they were doing.

One day I went into a liquor store and it's like, type in your Wegman shoppers card. And I'm like, why is there a Wegman's terminal here? So this must be a thing they're doing not just where I'm at. In New York State, you can't sell liquor in a grocery store. Right, right. Yeah, so they are. A little liquor store can have Costco and Camillas has a little liquor store like just outside the door. There's a little like almost side door and there's a little separate

liquor store. Kenny Wegglin. Monopolyizing, man. Wow. That's, it's smart business. And I think that's kind of neat. You know, in the real estate world, I guess in commercial real estate, let me ask you this. How many of your properties are sort of one tenant versus, you know, even if the owner is there, there's multiple units that they're using to offset?

that? Is it a considerable number? Probably with a lot of units? Actually, a lot of commercial properties aren't owner occupied. There are some here and there, but we see a lot more that aren't owner occupied. Wow. So, you know, they, because they're almost all investment properties for folks. Yep. Yep. That's incredible. Do you do property management as well? We do do property management. We just took a 12-unit luxury apartment completely, you know, turned it around. The tenants were basically just spun in a wheel. And then, you know, we had new tenants come in. And we did a lot cleaning it up, painting all the units, just making it refreshed, getting, you know, the word out there for, it's right across from St. Joseph's Hospital. Gotcha. And so we just redid that. And it. And it's

It's like a brand new property. That's awesome. That's the way to do it, man. You know, so many people talk about horrible places to live and things like that. But when property owners take care of it, update things on a regular basis, get people a nice place to live. You know, that's the way to do it. That's good business. I think we should do a quick, rapid fire if you're okay.

You got it, buddy. You're the box. All right. We got Mr. Syracuse here. Yeah. Okay. Best burger in town. Better burger.

Better burger? Better burger. Just tried it out. Got a whole new. I got like 20 minutes of raw footage to edit, which is a ton. Yeah. Where is that? It's in Liverpool, New York.

It's on an old Liverpool road. It used to be a former McDonald's actually. Okay. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yep. They still got all like the old stuff, but they've, you know, repainted it and structured it to be, you know, they got their brand colors, black, purple, yellow. Awesome place.

You want to know something even funnier? They're a burger place, but their chickens better. Oh. You know, that's a new thing. Because someone told me that about Shake Shack That their burgers are great Their chicken's phenomenal too So

I love that. Juiciest piece of Have you guys tried Dave's Dave's hot chicken? Not yet No Go to Dave's Go to Better Burger

Tell me which one you like more All right Better than Chick-fil-A Different Okay That's fair Chick-foy isn't as like I would compare it to Telly's tenders

Rather than You know like a little bit more crispy But they're actually seasoned Okay That's awesome Best pizza in town? And then I'll get off food. I like Palladinos, but I've heard

great things about Angelo's. Angelo's pizza. You know, he does the one guy that does his own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, is that where he like makes a pie on social media? The secret thing there. Yeah. Only like eight people get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I've heard great things about that, though. I want to try it. You should team up with that.

We got to try to figure. Amanda's actually been trying to get in. It fills up so quick that. Yeah. Best place to go get a drink. What type of drink are you looking for? Ooh. Matt? Cocktail. Cocktail.

City or not city? Either one. What's the vibe? I really need to know. This is why he's Mr. Syracuse. You can't just give an answer out. You got to know. Relaxed.

How about that? Relaxed. You want to have a conversation. Yeah. All's wine and whiskey? Yes. That's my spot. I love that place.

That is my go-to. You know, I'm not trying to shout myself out, but in my Instagram bio, I have a link, a who be link. If you click on the link, there's a free Syracuse guide, completely free. Oh, sweet. Best restaurants, cocktails, kids menus, you know, or kids restaurants that are kid-friendly, dog parks, everything. I love it. I mean, the only thing I'm missing out is like, you know, barber shops, tattoo shots, stuff like that. We'll get there. We'll get there. Yeah. He's going to have to get a few tattoos, but I got, I got a few tattoos. There you go. There you go. Dude, Mr. Syracuse. This is awesome, man. This is incredible. I'm going to give one more best, because you mentioned, you know, kids restaurants and things. I'd love.

love to hear your best in town, and I know, I don't know. I'm assuming you don't have a big family with a lot of children just yet, but if you did, what's the best family activity in Syracuse? Great. Look at the thought he puts in. Yeah. It's really impressive. I love it. Yeah. This is what happens versus like every, every video goes into this. Because you care. You want to give the right answer. I love it. Well, are we doing a full day trip or is it just one experience? One experience. One experience. I mean, have I ever done it before? Am I doing it a good? I'm. again or am I brand new to this? Blendy of the above.

If I'm brand new, I'm going to the mall just because it's one of the biggest in the United States. Why wouldn't you go to the mall? 100%. And then when the aquarium's built, I got to check out the aquarium. I can't wait. When IKEA's in there, too, it's going to be even better. I went to an IKEA for the first time down in Florida.

What's it like? I've never been to it. I was lost. We got lost. We were in there for like seriously an hour. Just like walking around. So tell me this, right? The one in, what is the size of the one in Destiny?

It's going to be about 70,000. square feet to my knowledge. And people tell me that that's one of their small ones. Yeah. Yeah. They're that is a smaller smaller smaller. Remember the massive, Danny, remember the, the massive space we almost rented? This is twice the size of that. What do you? That's incredible. And that's a small, that's a small location. It's one of their small locations here. I don't even know. It sounds like, I'm just picturing this, but it sounds like the full blown ones are essentially a mall in themselves. Is that sort of accurate? Yeah, because they got. They got a food cork, Swedish food court in there.

And then you go into like the showroom. You can buy like this room is, they'll have two of these right next to each other. Basically, you could buy like the whole set. Oh, wow. That's for the full-sized IKEA's. But I don't know what they're going to have here. And it's like. And then you also have, you walk out and they have the full warehouse.

It's like Costco. Yeah. You know, you got all the setup and then you walk into their Costco warehouse of actually, You know, it's an IKEA wearer. It's where the items are. All the items are in there. And then they got another little grocery store and some cookies before you walk out. A lot.

Yes. It's a commune. It's a commune. This is awesome. I'm so out of the look. Is IKEA's whole thing like, isn't it it's Swedish furniture that you, it's easy to put together? Is that the mission statement, I suppose? It cuts a lot of cost because you put it together on your own.

So you don't have to pay for it. Come in, people putting it together. It would be nice but affordable. I think is the idea. We're going to find out. We're going to find out. We're going to find out. We're going to have to take the show on the road.

Dude, I'm in. 70,000 square feet. Imagine if we lose Mike in the store. I'll put a balloon on my wrist. We did that at my bachelor party in Nashville. My friends put a balloon on me. So when we were walking down the street, you just saw a little balloon. It actually might be the best idea I've ever heard.

that? Which, me buying one of those is very likely. No, no, that's my buddy, Zach, from Ads on the Go. He's our sponsor. And it's incredible and I love people seeing it. Like it's literally, you know, he was here earlier this week or last we got on it all this together. But, you know, like he says, there's, they're unskippable ads.

Yeah. That people, you can't unsee it. Take attention. And it's, uh, so they just thought that you bought a truck and drove around with your face on it. So that was, it was our GNY. That's amazing. So, uh, anyway, shout out again to our man, Zach. The advertising works.
