  Speaker 2: Well, if you saw on social media everybody on Seventh Avenue,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I had the privilege to be out there after once again,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: mccallbridge is an obie and you know last year, if
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Obi was healthy the Knicks we're gone farther. I'm very
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: convinced of that. And he's proving that this series against
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the Celtics. On my line right now, who might be
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: able to help you out get to yes, get to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Game three four, and I believe he's at the Eastern
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Conference finals. Is a man behind the account five CRSC
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: five course, Vinnie Vincent, thanks for all joining me today.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Alex is a pleasure man. Thank you for having me.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: It means a lot. You know, our goal is to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: get as much uh Nick fans in the building. It
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: started with again with Anthony Crude. Credit to him and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: thank you for just you know, allowing the access to
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: as awesome clients and then just meeting persons along the way.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely been a great ride. We want to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: keep it going.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: It's really important to us to provide the best ticket
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: pricings to individual single passes and also families. We were
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: able to send over fifty persons to the game for
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: the first round. It's it's really been blessed. It has
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: really been great, and we're just having fun. This has
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: not work for me at all, you know, meeting great
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: person as yourself as well. We've been keeping up conversations
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and you know, sharing our Knicks experiences and that's really
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the gist of everything is to you know, bring great
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: people into the garden. These ticket prices, they're outrageous, they're insane,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and I've been providing well, our company have been providing
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: ticket prices lower than one thousand dollars to get into
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a Knicks game, and we're really proud of that. We've
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: made great connections with Magic Garden, the Knicks as well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and then all of our affiliates as well, so I'm
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: really thankful for that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Next, I'm curious also how you got to do that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But first, you're watching the first two games of this series.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I think we're all all nervous, right. It's Boston not
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a good track record at all this season against the Celtics,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: yet it seems like this team just thrives down twenty points.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I don't I can't explain it. It just that's when
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: they turn the gear on Benny.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The Knicks are just displaying great heart, so great that's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: where we come from as New Yorkers.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We're trying people, and it's just amazing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think they really broke the Boston spirit, be honest
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: with you, and I granted we're going into game three
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and four, I think we'll close them out and four.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I'm preparing for the conference. I don't want to toot
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the horn, but that's how optimistic I am of everything
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that's happening. And I'm just so proud of them, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: looking forward to just being.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Connected to the garden. Have you got to meet some
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of these guys or yes.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm constantly in communication with their management, especially with
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Dusmi's brides management as well. We're looking forward to him
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: just doing a post in regards to us and what
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: we're doing out here. So I was talking to Rachel
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: yesterday in regards to it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Wait No Douce that actually he's finding his shot too
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and people aren't really giving them that red. But he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: had a few big shots this series.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, big time, big time, and you know, especially for
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the Game one, he really really showed, you know, why
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: he should be in New York. You know, he's do
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: it for a contract very very soon, you know, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I'm super proud of what they're doing in his development
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of his game.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, even even Tims.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I give Tims a lot of credit for how he's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: utilizing him throughout the game.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You know, in key moments.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's trust, and that's really important, especially down down the road.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You know, we're coming back from twenty point, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: twenty point in terms of just like, yo, we're losing
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: my twenty.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He has four thousand on him already, and it's like
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: everybody had to step up around him, and they did. Sure,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what about Jalen? I mean, everybody comes upbout Jalen Brunson.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I mean when we got him a couple of years ago,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure where he was gonna sit. But did
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you think when we first got him he was going
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to be this, you know, King of New York right now?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, man, jailing again. He comes from you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the pedigree alone from his dad, his parents.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's very athletic family.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: So you know that's always been instilled in him from start,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and it's you're right, I didn't my expectations were like
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I knew what he was doing in Dallas during that time.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I said, Wow, this kid can really play. And then
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: you know, with Luca and whatnot. I was just like, man,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: he's playing behind Luca, but he would get you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the starting role from time to time. But he's laying
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: it all out. You know his shot is he here?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: You know, he's taking advantage of it. The guy took
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a pay cut. I mean, come on, you know what
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. But look at he's making it up. He's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: making it in spades, man so and look he's bringing
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: it along his guys as well.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: From villing Ova. You know, Josh is stepping up.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: You know, Deeven Chanzo we lost, but look what he's
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: doing with it and with the Timberwolves.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I think the league would love an ant cat remat,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, in the final. By the way, if it isn't,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to speak too soon, but it
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: will be the first conference final I can remember. Should
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: we get there, right, I mean, we got to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: one game in time, but I don't remember the first time.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think since ninety nine. It's been a long time
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we've been in this position to get to the cop.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I was.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I was sad man. Ninety nine was it against the Spurs, correct?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I just want to make sure.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Well ninety nine I thought first was the Pacers. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: remember that seriously, Yeah, I remember, and then I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you're right, But it was it was a that was
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a rough rest of the season. I remember that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: It was tough, man, It's tough spree. We had Spray,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: we had Houston, you know, LJ. But again, all those
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: gents were you know, mid age thirty five, you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: thirty six plus, and they were they were giving work
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So I love the Knicks Bullace.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Now the rebound though from heart and Brunson getting hurt
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in that last game against Straight Now they look at
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: them now, I mean, looks like they're healthy again. Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I think Josh needed heeded that time off,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: especially he was a little banged up within that that
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: first round them, you know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The boys in Detroit, but they were rough. I give
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: him that. They displayed a little bad boy in them,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But we recovered, you know, and it's nothing like
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: playing at home, you know what I mean. We have
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the different access to you know, hel up a bit faster,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and the treatments and and whatnot.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a few Knicks doctors.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: There and they were saying, you know, they had to
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: be working around the clock with those players. So again
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I give the Knicks staff and the players a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of credit because you know, they have to get these
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: guys prepared, and that's really important, especially you know during
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: playoff times. You know they're playing forty plus minutes. And
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: on top of that, you're practicing the day before the game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You know, sometime you're going over plays and all these
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: types of video and stuff like that the day before,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: so I could imagine what that's like, you know.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But again, they're playing off adrenaline too.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So you know your kid growing up in New York, right,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you were growing up in New York and whatnot. Did
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you ever think you'd be doing what you're doing right
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: now bringing other families and kids and fans of the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: game stylist.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I tell you this, right, as a kid, I had
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a infinity passion for basketball. I wanted to play for
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the Knicks as a kid. So my grandma would be like, okay, yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: you can do it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I knew I wasn't as tall as stature and whatnot.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: But I never knew that, you know, I'll be doing
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: what I'm doing. I knew it would have been something with
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the Knicks, but to actually providing families, friends, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and actually doing these types of experiences to where it's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a long lasting memory. I'm fully immersing our clients and
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I just want to just make this clayer. It's a
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: difference between customers and clients because everyone that I come
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: in contact with, whether it's via DM, text, messager, call,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: or even meeting them at the games, you know, everything
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: is documented in the sense that I'm trying to build
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a report, I'm trying to get to know you. You
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: get what I'm saying. So I don't just give any
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: in anyone tickets to the game. And I understand what
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it is to work hard for your money, and I
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: want to make sure that I handle this with care.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Everyone. All of our clients.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: From tops about all fifty plus and even for these
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: games that we have set up for Game three.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And four, they're all receiving gifts from us.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: All keeps the gifts that you know, myself, my wife,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and my team we curated from scratch. So that's how
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: important it is to us. You know, it's not about
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: just oh yeah, I'm trying to make some money and
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and hustle up. No, it's not's not what it's about.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: We're not doing that. I'm not a pseudo intellect, you
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. I want everyone who's cool, that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: fits the style, that understands the mission and what we're
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: trying to do to come to these games. So that's
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: how we're making a lot of these these ticket sales
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: possible for our clients.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You know, only I want to ask, is five CRC
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Is it like a five course experience? What does that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: exactly mean?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: That's a great question. So five is my lucky number.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That's my number there. It means a lot to me.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Even when I was playing aau ball you know, in
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: high school, middle school, these types of things, that was
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: always my number. But when you think of five course experience,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I know sometimes it can be tailor made. So we
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: try to just hyper customize and really infuse our clients
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: into what we're trying to do.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So it comes from the pickup and drop off service.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: So if you want, you can come in in your
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: full Knicks uniform and we're picking you up and we're
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: trying to drop you home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: We want to.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Ensure say fun, that's really what it is and what
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: it's about, and also making sure that we provide the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: best seat that's in the building, catered to your budget.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And also again it's the curated gift, the curati gift.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: It comes from the heart, it comes from a safe place,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and we want memorans and that's where five Course comes from.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: And we specialize in everything we do all events. You know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I was just at the Garden yesterday. I'm thinking about
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: doing a whole event to where they have whiz Kid
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: coming up June sixth, I'll give you that for example.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And we're trying to get over our clients into the
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Knicks locker room, you know, so where you have the
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: full immersive feeling of eating, drinking. We have Lady Gaga
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: coming up, she has several dates, so we're tying everything
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: into the sports entertainment but also.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: The curation of these events.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: And right now this is our peak season, so we've
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: been getting a lot of inquiries, a out of calls
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in regards to what we can do. We make it
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: personalized by actually touching the people in the sense of, hey,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: we want to meet with you, Let's do lunch, Let's
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: do that, Let's do these types of things so that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: we can get to know each other so that you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: we can make sure it's tailored made.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So that's the way the five course comes from.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: This is how personable you are. You text me, I'm
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: at the watch party? Are you there at work? But
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm glad that you let me know that
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you're in the city because it's it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, absolutely absolutely, you know, and it's been
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: going really well. That's far where we have a few
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: shows with Kendrick Lamar and Met Life, we have Chris Brown,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So we we tried to
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: just cater to everyone. And again if you think, yeah,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: it could be a challenge at times, but guess what,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that's why we're here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: That's why you know, I love what I do. Is
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: because I'm expressed.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Guy, were you ever a next season ticket holder? Are
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you a next season ticket holder as well?
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, And we also have relationship with with persons
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: that are next season holder as well, so bridging the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: gap there, you know, like I had a few guys
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: contacting me yesterday, Evince, I have these tickets, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: would you think you do anything with them, get absolutely
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: you know, and I make it I make.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It very clear. It's about it's about us.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: We have to ensure that we have the right frame
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of mind that we're doing it for the clients because
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want a customer.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I really don't want a customer.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: You know, they come and go, someone that will come back.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And you know exactly, I get what you're saying.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: You know, the Knicks have this event every year. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: think it's something predicting in February. I think, what did
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you get to that event at all?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Or do you go to those types of I didn't.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't, But we know we have I know Gellen
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Brunson's event is coming up over the summer. It's a
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: golfing event for his foundation, and we're looking forward to
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: attending that as well. We actually purchased tickets for that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: My dad, he plays professional golf, but he's been coaching
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: me a lot, so I'm really excited about that and
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: being part of that. So anything regarding to the Knicks,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and again when it comes to families, when it comes
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: to meeting individuals.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: That are like minded, I'm all for it, you know.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't again. I'm not tired. I've been up since
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: five am. You know, I'm dropping my kids to school,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I'm making sure that my
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: dog has what he needs and my cat, you know
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: what I mean.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So it's full fledged.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: And that's why, you know, like what you're saying, especially
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: with the families, it's important that we get the right
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: price for them.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And that's the conversations that I do have with MSG.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: That's the do the conversations I do have with the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Knicks in terms of these things.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It's for the benefit of all of us.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Talk about eighty eight because I've been trying to get
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: in touch with the garden forever about eighty eight and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they don't seem to answer. So do you have a
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: connection to those seats as well?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, because I tell you this, I started, and that's
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: onely thing I wanted to touch base with you beforehand.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That's how I started.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: In terms of when it comes to customer service and
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: ada dot, all these compliances. You know, I even have
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: abundance of with the wheelchairs, extended leg extensions, these types
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: of things we work with STAXI, you know, and we
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: also have alchairs and these types of things because I
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: used to work in the background of aviation, so I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: take that dear to heart when it comes to and
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: showing that everyone is in that building, So reach out
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: to me and I guess that's something that we definitely
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: can discuss offhand, but anyone that's interested, we do have
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the capability to a show.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: We even down to our vehicles.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: You know, we have ADA compliance vehicles, sprinters, Cadillacs, we
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: have a fleet of vehicles that we utilize.

• 14:28
  Speaker 2: with my friend Eric, who runs this group called Tripper.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: He does APA vehicles on the island, So I think
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you guys should link up and we'll build that connection too.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I gotta ask you that, yes, definitely, it's a very
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: rare postseason and that the Rangers are not in it right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: We're used to seeing both thems in the postseason. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: do you work with the Rangers as well?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, as well. I do that with the Range as well.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I've been doing a lot of work with Ubs SERTA.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: We have the season process for the US and we've
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: been bringing a lot of clients from the tri State
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: to the New York Islanders, especially when the Ranges play
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: because that's those are usually big matches.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: We were there this past career. We were there with
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the Rangers Creek on the Island.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I was there now, I was out there.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: We've got the l R back and forth and that
• 15:15

  Speaker 1: Jet Blue. Anything that you need KILLING got.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: After this conversation, I want to get back in the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: series because I feel like even last year, the Garden
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: was hyped, but it was just you know, it was
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: this round against the Pacers. It wasn't the Celtics though
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: this team was banged up going into this series last year.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I think the Garden is going to be electric on Saturday.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Are you expecting that?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, I'm really excited.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I I'll be honest with you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: So I have I've been doing the n y CFC
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: as well, and when I go to the games. I'm
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: rocking my next gear, whether it's Yankee Stadium where in
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: city field, So I'm displaying it and I'll go in
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: there in my uh my cleats, but I'm representing so logan.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Short of what I'm saying is that I had to
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: make a decision.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Am I going to go to the nixyam or am
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I going to ny CFC.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I had multiple persons reach out to me to buy
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: my personal tickets and in section one, so I said,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you know what's important. So I'm on the fence, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: more than likely I'll be going to the game because
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you know you're right for me. Witnessing the playoff matchups,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a different atmosphere completely.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I did. I'll give you example. I did a bull match.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Actually it was like the road writing bulls, Yeah, writing
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: bulls at Madison's Gay Garden.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And the way they you know, set everything up from
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: start to finish in terms of with the dirt, getting
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: the bulls in there. New York Mavericks was hosting it
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: and they did really well and you feel the vibration
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: of these bulls, you know what I mean. And it
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: reminded me of the Knicks games. The playoff matches that
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: have been attending. I said, oh my gosh, this is incredible.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You know, so there's no place like the garden. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: you know, yeah, some people, Oh that's an easy self
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: for you know, it's not an easy sell for me
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: because again I'm very passionate as you can see, you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: and I take it very very serious. And again I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: very selective. But that's what makes me unique. That's what
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: makes five of course unique. We're giving that special one
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: on one type of feeling when you go to that
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: garden and.

• 19:23
  Speaker 3: texts Now we're doing a whole forget interview, you know
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: what I mean, and then we're gonna link up. So

  Speaker 3: knowing your clientele. You know, you know your audience, and
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: that's what makes you great at what you do.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: So everyone has a skill set and I'm not afraid
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: to walk through it. I'm not walking around it. I'm
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: walking right through it, you know what I mean. So
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I show you something real quick. These are my experience,
• 20:24

  Speaker 3: lot to me and I take it really serious. I'm
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: an enthusiast, You're an enthusiast, and that's how we connect
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: on a different level, you know, So our conversations.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: The fourth wall, a little bit, favorite jersey that you
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: like and let's just know jersey you're growing up, So.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I had a un jersey.

  Speaker 1: My middle name is you. And by the way, e
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: w Ing real life.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Real life thing, like I tell you, let me take
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: it because I want to make sure that you know
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: you understand how serious this is to me. So when
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I was a kid, I grew up in Queens. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: grew up in Fall Rockway, Queens. So with me, my
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: father would take me to Jamaica Avenue, the Coliseum block,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and we used to go into the coliseum. It's a
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: place where you can buy different sneakers and different merchandise
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: in terms of what's in style and these types of things.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: So I met Patrick Ewing. He was at one of
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the sneaker stores in there, and I was a kid.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't know nothing about nothing in terms of I know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I love the Knicks, you know what I mean? So, yes,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: we do come from I do come from a West
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Indian background, you know. I mean, my dad is Jamaican
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: my mom as well, and we have Asian descent. You know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: so my family migrated from Hong Kong. With them migrated
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: to Hong Kong, they came into Swift River, Jamaica. So
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Patrick Ewing is really instrumental in terms of my life,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: my parents and these types of things.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: When I went when I did my my grandfather's eulogy,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I was in a New Jersey. I was in a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Ewing Jersey.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: My my grandfa was buried in Orange.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. Oh, so this is how
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: serious I take this.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: This team is too cultural and you're proving that right now.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: How culture.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That is that is very special. And I'm guessing now
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that I know that your background a little bit, you
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: must love watching the expansion of the game to a China,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to a Europe. I mean it's all over the.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Place for sure.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: And again I'm not tooting my horn, but I'm definitely
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: interested in getting into different markets.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Like that's my main thing. It's this is a style
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: If you know, it's a style, five courses a style
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: if it fits your style, if it's you, That's how
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: that's how I look at it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want and I'm not trying to force it
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: down on anyone.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: If you like what I do, if you like what
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: five courses about, you know, it's eclectic, it's fun, it's
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: safe fun.

• 23:11
  Speaker 3: that fits your your style and what you like.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this when you post up. Okay,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I got tickets for this one. Your messages must blow
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: up as soon as these stories go up that you're doing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I can be answer with you this morning alone.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Prior to talking to you, I had to tell everyone.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I said, listen, I'm doing an interview with us. I said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I can't answer right now. And it's been
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: about three hundred I probably saw about three hundred MS
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: three hundred and I can show it to you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You know. Text messages has been.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Probably about sixty plus, I can say emails and emails
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: are picking up.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like some people just reach out one
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and the tickets not realizing what five courses? Is that
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: what it might be here?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but guess what, I made conversations with all persons,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: So it's fine. I'm not saying entertain the conversation of
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: course too. You know, it's how can I say it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: It's it's consumption and moderation. So I'm not picking and choosing,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: but I am being direct and saying, hey, listen, this
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: is what we offer, this is what we do. You know,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: if you're interested, we can move forward. You know, I'm
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: not dissing anyone anything.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Of that sort.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I respect everyone that respects me and respects my team,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and that's how we take it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That's how we move forward. You know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: It's a respect, it's a boundaries. So we haven't had
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: any clients do that thus far. And you know, try
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: to Jones and I said, no, no, no, we're not doing it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I don't even entertain that. I'll be honest with you, Alex,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I don't even entertain it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Because I'm coming off with straight positivity. I'm coming off
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: with straight love. So if you're coming with straight love positivity,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: then we all work for each other.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: We're all good, you know.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely, I'm just I'm just thinking, Uh, it's gonna
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: be fun weekend. You know, you're also beyond the five persons,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: beyond the sports and the knicks and all that. You've
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: also hit on another thing, which is what I highlight
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: on the one leg up with Alex here. You're an entrepreneur.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I mean you are running a bit from the entrepreneurial side.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like entrepreneurial spirit needs to come back. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: feel like people need to jumpstart their own careers right, Yes,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: what you're sure to those folks that do want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: be an entrepreneur like yourself.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm gonna Before I get to that, I
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: want to say one thing. So I went to the
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Small Business Expo before I went to my meeting at
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: the Garden yesterday, and everyone asked what do you do?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I said, I do concierge, and I make it very
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: broad that way because there's so much opportunity in so
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: much different directions you can take it in. And I'm
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: just using myself for example, because I know there's other
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: concier persons out there. But again I go back to
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: the style, and I think persons need to hone in
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: on their style. You have a style, I have a style.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: So that's very important to our brand. It's very important
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: to what we do as individuals. And what do you
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: want to give back to your clients? And I am
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I'm the guy that rise the most. What you're gonna
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: say to me? No, Okay, you could have said no
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: to me. Honestly, say now, Vince, you know, I don't
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: know and whatever is But I say, you know, alex
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: is okay.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can get to it next week or whatever
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it is. But I just try.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I just tell everyone, just try your best, you know
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: what I mean, give it all you got at least
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: with that, at least you know that.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Listen, I put it out there, you know what I mean.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You put it in the universe.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: See what happens, and certain things sometimes reciprocate, Like again,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: like this right here, I'm having a conversation with Anthony
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: and I didn't know that I'm getting over three hundred clients.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So you know, it's just
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: opportunities you have to just step into. You have to
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: walk into it. I've been preaching that a lot, and
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be too preachey because they may
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: look at me and all these guys in old head.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: For it at your stage today, So go for it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Exactly, Alex I said, Listen, I'm a young o Gi. Guys,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: I'm a young o gie. I'm a young yogi. I'm
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: a young yogi. But guess what I learned. I learned
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: from my elders. I listen, I take instruction. I take
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: constructive criticism.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Sometimes we can be a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: bit sensitive, but guess what. You have to put that
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to the side.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: You got to compartmentalize certain things that you want, what
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: is important to you, and what I do.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Honestly, the one important thing is I do what I like.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I do what I enjoy, because that means everything to me,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: man like.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: At least with that, it's it's becomes a and I
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: don't want to say sell, but it becomes an easier sell.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: When you're speaking, you're having conversation. It's like we can
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: have full in conversation like this all day. I don't mind, Yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I ask other people who like the CEOs and run
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: their company.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Did you ever have a job in the corporate world
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and did you leave the corporate world to start.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: This Yes, because again you're right, I'm a small business owner.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I'm an entrepreneur. You know.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I started out in aviation, you know what I mean.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So I was going to I was going to school
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: at Baruch Berkeley, you know what.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, at the same time doing an internship and
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: working all four.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: My boots was drenched, French cold.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I was cold out there. I was working on the ramp.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: And I became a trainer, and I became a supervisor,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: and I became operational manager and a director and executive.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: So I became I just started growing up the ladder.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I call it an upwards z you know what I mean.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: And and you never know who you're going to meet. And
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: again when you're in when a lot of entrepreneurials are
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: within a company, don't look at it all I'm working
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: for somebody.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: No, don't look at that, you know.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not telling you to break compromise in
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: terms of, you know, promoting your business, but relationships. Relationships
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: are so important, you know, it's it's more important than money.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: And that's why for me, especially with five Course, I
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: build relationships one.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Hundred percent from start to finish.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And you know it's pretty and you don't know that,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: but you're kind of fulfilling one of the goals I
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: have for this podcast, which is to be a hub
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: hope for people to bring other businesses, other communities that
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: can help them out. And just you know, I feel
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: like this. I guess long conserve as a connector and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you're helping me connect people. So thank you with that.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, that's and that's what it's a you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: that's what it's about. And a lot of people, Oh,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I have to start out this, I gotta have a website,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I have this. Let me tell you something. It starts
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with us as individuals, with us, you know what I mean.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I had to get to know you to where we
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: had to build a comfort level to where we're having
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: a conversation, you know. So that's where it starts. We
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: never knew who we're going to connect to, who we're
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: going to stand next to. You know, Like again, I
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: stayed next to you, Alex. I'm not standing behind you,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not standing in front of you. I'm standing right
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: next to you. You know, I'm not discriminating. You know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not doing none of that stuff. That's why I said,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I weed out all the pseudo intellects. And I've met
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: them all, trust me, I've met them all and they
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: sit there and I don't want to go I don't
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: want to be long winded, but I'll just touch on
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: it and I'm gonna let it go, you know what
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I mean. But sometimes people can be very judgmental. And
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't want that around me at all.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: A rebuke it, get it away from me.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I want it. Let's get it up, Let's get it away.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You don't know me, you
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: don't know my walk of life, these types of things.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But again, I'm gonna truduspect for a long time.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And everything going on with the aviation world that's been
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: kind of wild the last few months. But are you
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: still in touch with that the old little Yeah.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: So there's actually the new terminal one.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: You know, they're doing a massive construction within JFK Airport
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: and I'm blessed to be.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Part of that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I'm looking to get five course in the building concession wise,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: and also within guest services. That's my my ultimate goal
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: in terms of the aviation. I love the international side
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: of things, you know, because I meet persons from all walks.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Of life, you know, and everybody wants lounge they can
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: go to before you know, before they fly, or even
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: even at morning hand before you go on the train.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: People go to those lounges. You could jump into that sphere.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Too, absolutely, you know.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And again, you know, where where I've based is more
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: and so with a d A compliance. So I've met
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the founders of Microsoft, you know, I've taken their mom
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: and they looked at me like, wow, man.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: What's your name?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Can I Can we have a conversation? I said absolutely,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: you know, And again I don't want to. It's I
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: don't want to promote me as Vincent in terms of
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: my brand, so I keep it within the company. And
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: that's the integrity about it. There's great things going on
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: that's happening, and I'm definitely I'm going to all of
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the conventions.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to all the conferences.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I'm doing all the webinars, you know, I mean Minority
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Business Owners Certificate certification, you know, I mean I'm in
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: the process of these types of things.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And again I'm trying. That's that's what it is about entrepreneur.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: You try. You have to put it out.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: There, you know what I mean, because you don't know
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: who you're going to influence, you don't know who you're
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: going to meet, and that's why it's so important to
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: what we do every single day. So that's my message
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: to the entrepreneur is just try anything you want to do.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Don't think it's it's stupid or anything. No, no, it's
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: not stupid.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, And I don't even want to say stupid.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: You know, some people are not I like it, some
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: people gonna like it. But the biggest thing is you
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: have to go for it. You know, twenty twenty five,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I made it my goal. I said, you know, twenty
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: twenty five, I'm gonna go for what I want. I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: not gonna I'm gonna go with take it, and I
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: don't mean it in a conceited way or anything of
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: that sort.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going for it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: So any opportunity that comes to my way that I
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: feel that it fits my style, and if it's five
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: course style, why not.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: What do I have to lose? Exactly?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I love that ad Just give me a little passion, Alex. Sorry,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: this is a little passion.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Because this is what the one like Up network is about.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: People having people on we have one leg up in
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: their own life. That helps you get others up off
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: their feet too. To have one like that's kind of
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: my mission with the show. So you're you're, you are, you're,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you know, doing.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: All of that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: So thank you for that. Now I gotta ask you this.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: When you pose up these different things and then we
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: talk about affordability, are people shocked? They're like, oh, well
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: it's five hundred, Like do they expect like a two
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars ticket to guard?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: You know, we receive we receive those types of responses.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: But again I don't turn them. I don't turn those
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: down because I can give you example. Let's let's talk
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: a little numbers right right now for game number three,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Game number four is a little less you're showing. We're
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: showing about game four, we're showing about nine to fifty
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: plus in terms of per ticket average average ticket in
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the garden.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: But game three, we're showing one thousand, one hundred, eleven
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: So when I go back and I say, well, listen,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: what do you really want, Vince, You want to build
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: a relationship or you're just trying to sell tickets. I
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: am trying to build a relationship, you know what I mean.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I look at it first. I have to make sure,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: you know, Anthony. Anthony gave me these referrals. He put
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: me on to his amazing clients. I don't have to
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: be a reflection of him. So therefore, if I have
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: to take the loss, I'm taking the loss. We are
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: taking the loss because guess what.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: It's Yeah, monetary wise, Yeah we want to uptick, but
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: guess what they're gonna remember it is they're gonna remember.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I hit up five course. I got
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: the confirmation from from Alex. You know, I got it
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: from Anthony. They put me on and look, I was
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: in a garden having a good time.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: He actually met with me, you know what I mean,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I met with his team. These types of things.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: That's what's important to me right now, for twenty twenty,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: that's what's important to me. Let me get you in
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: the building. Let me get you in the building. We
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: can figure it out later. And I'm just being transparent
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: with you. We've done payment plans, credit card, you know
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: anything that we can to, you know, ensure that promisory letters.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: We've done that for shows, live and live shows, concerts, Knicks, games, Rangers, Islanders, NYCFC.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, even even Prudential set. We we
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: really a trying met life. I'm just I'm just rattling off.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I like that that you're so flexible. That means you're
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: you're for people basically is what yeh means. And sometimes
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: and you know, picking all these other these other apps,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're jacking up the price or not.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. And I'm not gonna dish that
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know, yes to me either, because they're trying to
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: do what they're doing. But I like working with somebody
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: who's personable like you and Anthony. I mean that that's
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: that's bad, But I got I gotta ask you this.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I just lost my thought.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I love hearing how flexible you are and how you're
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: able to accommodate everybody, get them in the building. That's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the whole point. Uh. And you know, I think those
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: tickets are gonna go up if they win in game
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Game number three. But this is the other thing. One's
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: basketball and sports in general, is they really you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: you can probably get into the garden years ago for less.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but all these prices,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: even for a regular season game, I look at them
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: like put it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know, No, it's it's definitely been an uptick.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Of course, the demand is more inflation. There's there's so
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: many ways and directions we can take it in. And
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: that's why, like what you're saying, and just to piggyback
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: what you're saying is I try my best to Hey, listen,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: if we got a game we're setting up for conference
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: finals willingly right, Hey, listen, put a deposit down. I'll
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: work with you.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: We don't work with yours.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Right now, right now. So I'm just being honest with you,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: just being transparent. We have those passes already, we're gearing
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: up for that, you know. But again we can if
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: you give us a little room, we can make it work.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I promise you can make it work.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Because because I'm be honest with you, I've seen it
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: before and we've done it multiple times, and I like
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: to keep it private like this because yeah, some persons
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: may say, oh this is too good to be true,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: This doesn't make any sense. You know, no, I don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: believe that. But let me show you, let me show you.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: I'll show it to you. It's not a problem.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: One other question about these experiences you said you get
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: to meet them. Are five course folks in one spot
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: like those that get tickets through or are they all
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: in one spot or the scatter like? How does that work?
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Well? Both because we have certain requests that we fulfill
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: and also you'll know, I'll give you example. So I
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: have these five course guards. If you can say, if
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: you say, hey, listen here, if you say, guys, I
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: want to know who's here for five courts, they received
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: one of these concert, any sporting event, they'll show you
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: this and grant it. Maybe it's three or four. But
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: we're in the building. We are in the building. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: that's what I love is the support. That's the support
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: for me, you know, because this here, it's I'm gonna
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: put it up a little closer to the screen. That's
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: my barcode. That's the barcode for five course, So they
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: scan it so if it's right.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: In the wallet, writing your wallet, you know, make the logo.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Also, I'm guessing you had a hand in the logo
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, so I wanted to put a three and five.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Our daily concier pickup and service is three course, but
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: the five course is your ultimate immersive feeling of different
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: events and different things that's going on. What's hot in
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: New York, you know, But again it's hot, but it's
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: also what's safe fun.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: That's what we try to promote, is safe, fund save fun.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: There's too many, it's too many crazy things that's going
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: on in this world. To be honest with you, you know, So.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: You didn't have a hand in the Meggala, right, That
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: was not.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: So.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: We were invited to several events.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I can tell you off hand. It was. It was
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Swiss Beats at Leasta Keys.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: They had a actual skate off, like it was a
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: it was a cool vibe with skating. Dicaprios event as well.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: But there was some things that was going on with
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Live Nation that we were invited to.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: But again, I'll be honest with you. I'm a family man.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I'm up early.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: What's important to me. I love hanging out. I love
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: a good time. I'm all for it. It's a consumption
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: and moderation, but I'm in the Knicks playoffs right now.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: There's certain things I have time for some things I
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: just don't. So I had to make a decision. So
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I contacted my wife. I said, hebe, you know, we
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: have these events going on.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: What do you want to do? What do you feel?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: And she said, Vincent, you know, it's completely up to you,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: but what's important to you?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: So that's that's how that's the sacrifice.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: And the dedication that you know, and how serious I take.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Five course and my clients and.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: A went with you along the way, which is which
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: is always sure? That's great?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, hey listen, she was the one that
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: my wife Isabelle.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: She has pain turned to glory and she has creating love.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: So she put this actual car together, she said, sent
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: it out to get manufactured. The actual designer is called
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Drew Wills. So Drew Wills actually did this card. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: actually I called it it's an architectural design, that's all
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I like to say, because I want to see it
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: on a building.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I want to see more on billboards these types of things,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and that's what we're planning for.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: So we've done a lot of different photo shoots around
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: our concerts.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we've actually.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Talking to a company that they have billboard on ninth
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: and forty third. So we're looking to do that for
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: about twenty four hours, you know, based upon the budget.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: But we want to put it out Broadway stuff too,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: or you involve a Broadway all.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Or it's funny to say that. So I went to
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: a reggae concert.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: It was Adonia's twentieth anniversary at Ubs Arena. We had
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: all of our clients on the bench row seating. One
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: of them was Leon Leon Robinson. So Leon goes to
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: all the games and I met Cool, his bro I
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: want to call him his bro, his brother.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Julio and Julio. I was telling Julio about the business.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: And the great thing is that we made everything smooth
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: for Leon and smooth for Julio as well, and that's
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: important to us.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, we have our celebrity clients.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, we dabble in Broadway and we're working on a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: deal with that as well. And we're again we're welcoming
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: all opportunity because I feel like, again, I.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Want to put this style on the world. And yeah,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: maybe it's very broad and it's.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe like, oh man, that's a lot, and you're very
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: ambitious but guess what, why not? I mean, let me
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: try at least, let me try, guys, let me try.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like you have the same kind of energy
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I do, which is and it's not always the best
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: one because I you know, but it's always about buying
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: the ticket.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: That's kind of whatever is nowadays, whether it's going someplace
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: or going to a game. I feel like that's the message.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Right, Yes, it is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: It definitely is the message, Alex, because you know, a
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: lot of persons can say, oh that's I don't like this,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: I don't like that. But if you haven't seen it
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: for yourself, how can you, you know, place judgment on it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: You know, you don't, you don't really know.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: And then and then.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: When you're experiencing at a different level, you know, it's
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: it's like sometimes if if you and I were.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: To travel first class, you know, here and there, and.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Then we go into economy, you know, or business, it's like, man, damn,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I gotta get back to first class. This looks amazing.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, I don't want to
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: stop from this. I don't want to deviate. And then
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: that guess what we're doing now now, we're saving up
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: now we're budgeting ourselves and we're getting to we're getting
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: back to first class and these types of things. So yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not telling anyone to blow your savings. No, no, no,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: we're not saying that at all. And again, it's consumption
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: and moderation. So therefore, treat yourself. It's self care. You
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: get what I'm saying, do something for you something.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't want to.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want I don't really want to win it
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: because I'm excited talking to you man, what.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: You're saying, and it's it is fun to get to
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: all these different things as as it comes, right, So
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: it's fun. Yeah, you know one other thing and this
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: is how you have one leg up. But there are
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: so many other accounts that say, okay, we have this
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: for this and that. But what makes you stand out?
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That's the number one question.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you this, right.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: I know I've been broken record about style, but i
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: want something and I'm really keen on letting it touch
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: your palette. So it's not about standing out. It's not
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: about being the most expensive. You know, I'm not a
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: rich man, but of course it's not. We're not we're
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: not there yet. Eventually, maybe we'll be came wealthy and whatnot.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: I'm optimistic, but I want something that can resonate and
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: provide memory to the client, because that's not allow them
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: to come back, that's going to allow them to talk
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: about it with their friends and family.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: And we build again, we build relationships.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: So that's what separates us from a lot of different
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: maybe competitors, because I'm pretty sure after this we're gonna
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: have a different persons stepping Oh my god, now I'm
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: gonna start doing and it's okay.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that because guess what. I go to
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: other people's experiences as well because.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I want to see what you do, and not because
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: you know, we're taking from each other, but a lot
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: of persons that, especially entrepreneur I'm getting away from. I'm
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: trying to split some It's not a crab in a barrow.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: We're not doing crabbing a barrow here, not doing that
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: at all. What I'm doing is, hey, I bought your
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: experience for a reason. I bought that ticket for a reason.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: I want to check it out. I want to see
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: what it's about because I like it and these types
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: of things, So that's why it's so important to me.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're still there.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: You're still there, Alex, I'm there now all right? Did
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: that last bargain that makes you Okay?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I lost you there? Okay, got it.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: So what I was saying was that, especially when you went,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: you touch a good point with entrepreneurs, people that are
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: starting out. That's trying. We're not We're not here to
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: be crabbing the barrels. That's not what we're doing here
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: at all. No, no, no no, I bought your service.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: You bought my service.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: So therefore, you know, we have to make sure that
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: we're there for each other.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Partnership, collaboration, those things are so important, you know, I
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: mean because now we're crossing our different markets, you know
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: what I mean, right, and we're.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Showing with not only is it that you put you know,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: get people in the building, then they're gonna say, okay,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: well let me tag Bycors on Instagram and boom more expansion.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: There exactly exactly. So that's what it's about, you know.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: So that that's why it's so important to again keep relationships. People,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: keep relationships, build relationships, you know what I mean, because
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: it opens up different doors. And then when you're listen,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: as you're an honest person, I'm honest person. You mean,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: we're very passionate what we do, so therefore you know
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: it works.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: For both of us.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: So when we get off this call, yeah, when we
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: get off this call, we're gonna have more conversations.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: But all right, this rand doesn't work out, maybe next round, right,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: like there's exactly time.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it is.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: And you find people shut the door. All right, Well,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: this is one price. I'm not going to focus on
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: another step. I feel like people do.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: That right for sure, because you know they feel defeated,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, no, don't feel defeated. No, no, no, no,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: because I'll tell you this, right, I follow up. Even
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: for the clients that say no, I still present it
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to them. That's why you haven't you know, I haven't
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: posted up a lot in terms of the social media
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: because I have persons direct contact and I'm telling them, hey,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: listen before I put it out on social media. I'm
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: just giving you a buzz.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I'm letting you know what I have, regardless of the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: price point or not.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: At least you can say, like you know what five
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: course actually showed me what they had and they were
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: being transparent for what it was, you know. So that's
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: why it's so important.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I've learned to say, Okay, maybe not this round, but
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: next one, because then it builds the relationship, it keeps.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: It going absolutely, and it's always opportunity.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well this has been awesome, Vinnie, and thanks
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: for taking time. I know he's ad twenty minutes up
• 47:15

• 47:18
  Speaker 2: and hopefully good to see you at the garden soon
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: enough and if they show. So, I don't know what
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: the next two games are gonna hold, but we'll we'll find,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: you know, well, something that's gonna pop up. I have
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: a good feeling so we will.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna compose. We're definitely gonna propose. And like
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: I said, even after the call, when.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: You know, when we put it out there in terms
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: of the interview, we're.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Gonna touch base afterwards.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I know that for sure.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Again, char So, I think it's gonna be really sad.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I think so too. I think so too.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I think so too, because we're crossing. We're crossing markets
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: for one, you know, I mean, we're good people, we're
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: good hearted people, and I think I think everyone needs
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: to see that. You know, it's not like everyone wants
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: something from someone. You know what this cost us? This
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: didn't cost us anything. You know, great conversation, man, We
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: gotta have these conversations important.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: And I love doing an interview. So I love that
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: I got the interview because you are literally on the
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: scene every every game. Now, it seems like I'm thinking,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: you know, if it does go to a game vibe,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: you're saying Nixon for if it does go a game FIVEE,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to the Knicks watch party. But we
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: got a long way to go to get there. I
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: think they gotta we gotta win at least one at home,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: and if we can win too, that's even better.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Right, That's what we got to follow. Yes, Alex, I
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: was gonna say one thing, right, especially with the Knicks.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: The way I'm looking at it is this, if we
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: can come back from twenty twice twenty twenty two, we
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: broke their spirit. It was cold in Boston. It was cold,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I hear you, It's it's
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: warm out here. I took off my stuff.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: You're your masket enthusiast, though, and you you probably I'm guessing.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Look at the way they play and all that. Yes,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: we're thankful to Celtics forty five plus three in the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: last two games and missed a lot of them. Do
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: you think they're gonna change out? They keep living and
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: dying by that.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Lucky the Irish man, Lucky the Irish. Right, we'll see,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: you know, I think. But again I don't want to.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I don't want to even give them anything.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: And Nicks took advantage of it two. That was the
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: other They took advantage of those misses.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: And that was so oh yeah, for sure.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, And that's and I think that's the difference now
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: this season, you know, excuse me, in the playoffs, that's
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the difference now is there. They know how to counter,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and the defensive presidence is there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: And again, even if we start a bit slow, we're
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: making the adjustments. Styles make fights, Style makes fights, style
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: makes basketball games events, these types of things. We have
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: to make adjustments. And that's what we're doing. And that's
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: why we're winning, because we're making adjustments, you know what
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, and we're not second guessing it.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: The Knicks pistons are so vindage because they were chippy.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I mean I remember that in the ninety was kippy
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: basketball back then too?
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: I mean sure, kind of a little bit.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: So we'll have to see. But twenty five years plus
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: after the Knicks run in nineteen ninety nine, here they are.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: I'm back at it, and I feel like we have
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of that energy again, and we're all adults
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: now so we can experience.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: It in a different way. Oh my god, it's incredible. Man. Listen.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I remember crying in ninety nine as a kid. I
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my, I can't believe it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: I thought we were gonna.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Take it, you know what I mean. But again, time
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: heals all wounds.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: How old were you? Because how old were you in
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: ninety four? Because I was like two or three years
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: older than ninety four.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I'm an eighties baby, so I was about five six,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Five six? Yeah, five six. So again, my favorite guy.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you my favorite guys. I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: love you, don't get me wrong. But Clyde Fraisier, let
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: me tell you.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: So when I went to when I went to my
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: one of my first nick games, I was I was
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: a kid, and Clyde signed my ticket.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I touched the garden floor.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: That's why it was so reminiscent when I when I
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: posted that picture today, My stories is I touched the floor,
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: actually did a little move with my sneaker.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: The sneaker squailed this.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: You know, this makes I was like, oh my gosh,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want brings to the slip.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want day Heart. I want my guys Newsday.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I want them to I want them to be good.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: So it was so nostalgic, man, so nostalgic. It's an energy.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: What about Spike? Have you gotten the meat Spike at
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: all or been in watching him or I haven't.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: I did Bad Bunny Ad Bunny's concert at about forty
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: two people.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I said, the clientsert, I went to this. He's a
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: spot I can't remember the name.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: And I was talking to the owner and he was like, hey, man,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: I was telling him this and I'm shooting a recap
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: for Bad Bunny And he said, well, really that's pretty cool.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, I just dropped off my clients, know
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: in sprinters and Cadillacs, and we ensured that they got
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: in safety're doing VIP, you know, they have the food,
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: the beverage, and we gave them all gifts. They said,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: oh man, that's incredible. So I'm just telling your basis
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: of what five Course does, especially with these live events
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: so long and.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Short, I bring into like the regular, regular pizzeria because
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: they know what's going on.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, So as I'm talking to him, I'm like, yeah,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: I said, I'm shooting some content and stuff like that.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: He said, well, who are you shooting it with Spikes?
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I said, no, I'm not.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: But I didn't realize it's the same freaking pizzeria that
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: the Spikes goes to. So eventually I'll get around to it.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: But it was so nostalgic because I went to the
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: concert and shorts, you know what I mean, I'm gonna
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna.
• 52:41

• 52:46
  Speaker 3: these Casablanca shorts.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: That was outrageous with colors and whatnot. It was really clicking.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: We were lucky to be in the press pit, you know,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: media pit with all these Yankee creators, and Spike was
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: there Pinchry pride, so we walked right. Yeah, that was
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: pretty He's gotten I guess the kids call it Aura about.
