Because it looks like you have a busy morning with this personal training. Definitely. So we primarily cater to, uh, individuals, male and female between the ages of 30 65. But our oldest client is 100 turning 101 on the 21st and the secret they come here. That's it. It's all about kinetic. That's, that's any, any advice for anyone at home that's watching and train regularly. That's the advice come here, train regularly. That's it. And I will say this is a lot better because Nick was giving me a little beef for calling the weight circle things. I, I was intimidated. I know they're weights but it's intimidating when you're in an environment that's not something that you're comfortable with. It could be unless you're coming to kinetics because we make you feel comfortable and everybody's on the same page. It's all about the burpees and the push ups. So, uh, it, uh, it is a, uh, non scary place. Well, I need to do some squats. I need to warm up this good morning. What do you say? We jump in with will, right. We got everyone training this morning.

It is Friday and it's time to highlight local businesses for main street, New Jersey. Our Lauren do is in Highland Park this morning taking a bite out of Morty's kosher. It is time to eat. So let's go inside Morty's Bakery and they are open right now. But guess what? They don't open until seven o'clock this morning and I'm told it is going to be a busy day for them. So we're pretty lucky that we could get it and everything is all fully stocked. Y here. I mean, look at all of this. What don't you have here? Good morning. Yeah. What don't you have? I mean, do you have breakfast laid out for us this morning? We have breakfast, we have pastries, cakes, breads, bagels, basically anything for breakfast or lunch and all kosher here. All kosher. Everything is kosher. The sandwich section is dairy. The rest is all p everything is kosher. And you were saying, even though the bakery looks so good, the cakes and the cookies and all the pastries, people still come here for sandwiches. That's 60% of the business you said, yes, I'd say about 60% of the businesses sandwiches both through online apps such as Grubhub doordash and Uber. And then there's a lot of walk ins and we do have, we do do a lot of dishes. One of the big things we do here, you can create your own sandwich any way you want. So you can get the eggs with salt but no pepper or pepper but no salt. You can add cream cheese to your egg and cheese. You can add anything like that. And then we also have the menu dishes which we have some of them here for you. And what's your favorite part about being in Highland Park? Because you're pretty much a staple here. So I actually live in Brooklyn. I commute here every day. So the part I like here is a small town that like I'd say 80% of customers here are known by name when they walk in by me of the staff. Um, the Gerardo who makes the sandwiches usually will know what you want before you tell him you don't have that. And how long have you been here? I've been here since 2018, 2018. And you know what meteorologist Scott Skoff asked me for a black and white cookie. So here's Scott, this is the black and white cookie for you. And Yannie, how much is the black and white cookie? 325 325. So, Scott, you owe me 325 cash. All right. We're at Island Park this morning. Lord, dude, he's from New Jersey.
