191 00:09:41,835 --> 00:09:47,295 know, and, uh, and people that cannot play padel, they can still go to the club 192 00:09:47,655 --> 00:09:50,715 and another family member can play padel. 193 00:09:50,925 --> 00:09:53,625 I, I think every, every, everyone can play padel. 194 00:09:53,715 --> 00:09:54,615 It's just a different level. 195 00:09:54,615 --> 00:09:56,475 I think that's why it, but also great. 196 00:09:56,835 --> 00:10:00,975 Somebody comes in, you know, that has never played any sport Yes. 197 00:10:01,035 --> 00:10:02,865 But wants to exercised and kind of learn. 198 00:10:03,335 --> 00:10:05,135 They can play with that same level. 199 00:10:05,285 --> 00:10:06,454 And it's pretty amazing. 200 00:10:06,454 --> 00:10:09,645 But then you have somebody at the higher level that really knows all 201 00:10:09,645 --> 00:10:11,055 the shots, playing really well. 202 00:10:11,125 --> 00:10:13,784 Let's say they're physically perfect, they're young, they're 203 00:10:13,784 --> 00:10:14,484 playing at a high level. 204 00:10:14,585 --> 00:10:16,425 So there's that whole range there. 205 00:10:16,475 --> 00:10:17,255 Everybody can play. 206 00:10:17,345 --> 00:10:20,814 And the good thing is, um, maybe you get older, but you have a 207 00:10:20,814 --> 00:10:22,454 second chance to hit the ball. 208 00:10:22,905 --> 00:10:24,995 You know, in tennis, okay, you lose the point. 209 00:10:25,005 --> 00:10:26,435 Here, you have another chance. 210 00:10:26,675 --> 00:10:28,514 So, you know, you can keep playing. 211 00:10:28,515 --> 00:10:31,725 You keep learning and you keep growing, even you get older, but 212 00:10:31,725 --> 00:10:33,635 you still can, you know, get better. 213 00:10:33,895 --> 00:10:35,074 So that's a great thing. 214 00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,295 If you master the walls and know where it is, you can always meet 215 00:10:38,295 --> 00:10:39,574 it, anticipate and meet it there. 216 00:10:39,795 --> 00:10:41,895 And tennis, once that ball's passed you, you're done. 217 00:10:41,895 --> 00:10:44,894 You're done. 218 00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:50,155 No, and, and, and it's exciting, the new technology, how they, so it was, 219 00:10:50,495 --> 00:10:55,215 something happened 30 years ago when I was playing, but this is a new world. 220 00:10:55,215 --> 00:10:55,349 It's exciting. 221 00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:57,460 This is just all new. 222 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,410 I remember when, um, Sarah Boone, she's, uh, part of our team, you know. 223 00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:08,160 She owns, um, a racket club in, in Guilford, Guilford Racket Club. 224 00:11:08,449 --> 00:11:13,030 She told me that, oh, Tom was doing the first court in Connecticut 225 00:11:13,069 --> 00:11:14,900 in a private house in Greenwich. 226 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,520 So, do you want to come with me? 227 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,630 And I said, of course! 228 00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:18,110 Yeah, yeah. 229 00:11:18,250 --> 00:11:18,730 Let's go! 230 00:11:19,070 --> 00:11:22,125 So, when I went there I saw the new court. 231 00:11:22,125 --> 00:11:27,525 I never see, um, you know, the court with glass and all the, no, that was four. 232 00:11:27,525 --> 00:11:29,060 That was three years ago in our mind. 233 00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:34,395 Two years ago we were still like, so, uh, I have a really close friend, the, 234 00:11:34,395 --> 00:11:37,245 um, Gustavo Spector, he's in Italy. 235 00:11:37,245 --> 00:11:39,944 He's, he was the captain of the Italian team. 236 00:11:39,944 --> 00:11:42,464 They have a, um, like seven club there. 237 00:11:42,525 --> 00:11:43,665 He's an expert. 238 00:11:43,785 --> 00:11:43,844 Yeah. 239 00:11:44,115 --> 00:11:46,094 So I call him and I do a video. 240 00:11:46,094 --> 00:11:46,334 I'm like. 241 00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:48,140 What is this? 242 00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:51,949 And he said, well, that's the new court, that's the new technology. 243 00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:53,390 So that was new for us. 244 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,829 And I'm like, Oh my God, I started playing and the ball, when they hit the 245 00:11:57,829 --> 00:12:03,390 wall, when they hit the glass is less harder with when I was playing before. 246 00:12:03,819 --> 00:12:05,770 So they have more time. 247 00:12:06,195 --> 00:12:10,785 So now the points are longer than 30 years ago. 248 00:12:10,785 --> 00:12:13,120 So you're saying the concrete, the bubbles faster than the glass? 249 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:13,400 Yes. 250 00:12:13,575 --> 00:12:14,355 Than the glass. 251 00:12:14,595 --> 00:12:15,855 So that's a new thing. 252 00:12:15,855 --> 00:12:20,655 So they add that the rackets with the new technology is way better than before to 253 00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:23,595 prevent injuries and the surface softer. 254 00:12:23,625 --> 00:12:25,215 So, and the glass, that's really good. 255 00:12:25,215 --> 00:12:27,160 The viewing, the people can see it. 256 00:12:27,210 --> 00:12:27,560 Right. 257 00:12:27,825 --> 00:12:28,160 So it's. 258 00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:30,730 10 times better than before. 259 00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:34,329 So everything is, you know, going up and up and up. 260 00:12:34,330 --> 00:12:35,760 So I'm very excited with it. 261 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,660 That was a game changer at that point, because being able to put on the TV, you 262 00:12:39,660 --> 00:12:43,420 know, even YouTube, being able to see it, uh, see all the shots clearly, because 263 00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:45,770 how would you view it prior to that? 264 00:12:45,790 --> 00:12:47,519 You know, you would have to be on stands. 265 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,680 You have to be kind of in the middle, because it's open, but now 266 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,420 you have, you know, The whole thing. 267 00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:55,060 All right. 268 00:12:55,310 --> 00:12:57,190 So, it's Let's talk about your organization. 269 00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:59,780 Do you guys have a firm or a company? 270 00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:00,700 We have a firm. 271 00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:01,250 Yes. 272 00:13:01,410 --> 00:13:03,820 We, we do all kind of architecture. 273 00:13:03,899 --> 00:13:07,530 But, uh, at the moment, we're doing a lot of, uh, football 274 00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:09,450 clubs and sports facilities. 275 00:13:09,499 --> 00:13:09,739 Wow. 276 00:13:10,029 --> 00:13:13,779 Uh, we're actually working in Florida, in Orlando, and a, and a, 277 00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:17,330 and another like, it's gonna be in the end like a nine courts facility. 278 00:13:17,510 --> 00:13:18,030 Awesome. 279 00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:22,325 And, uh, and, uh, we're Building in Brantford, uh, a new club. 280 00:13:22,355 --> 00:13:25,125 So in Brantford, uh, we are investor too. 281 00:13:25,135 --> 00:13:27,105 We have a great team with Tom Hending. 282 00:13:27,395 --> 00:13:29,165 They have Hending company. 283 00:13:29,185 --> 00:13:34,535 So he built, um, tennis court, paddle courts for 30 years already. 284 00:13:34,824 --> 00:13:40,095 So, and we have great communication with him and we have a great team. 285 00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:44,405 We try to have the best of the best in each one of the, you know. 286 00:13:44,465 --> 00:13:46,275 Is this his first paddle club? 287 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,420 Yes. 288 00:13:47,849 --> 00:13:48,130 Yes. 289 00:13:48,170 --> 00:13:48,790 That has been a while. 290 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:48,949 Yes. 291 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:49,329 Yes. 292 00:13:49,589 -->

grow exponentially in the U. 296 00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:57,540 S. 297 00:13:58,099 --> 00:14:04,300 Um, well, in Miami, if you go, there's a lot of clubs already, but I think it's 298 00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,730 gonna, you know, it's gonna pick up in the West Coast and, uh, in many other states. 299 00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:12,579 Something that I find out, uh, to me is very interesting. 300 00:14:13,045 --> 00:14:19,074 That, um, people in, in, if, I know there is not much international, you 301 00:14:19,074 --> 00:14:23,105 know, that they know Padel in here, but a lot of people play Platform Tense. 302 00:14:23,145 --> 00:14:24,034 Yes, yes. 303 00:14:24,034 --> 00:14:25,535 It's so similar. 304 00:14:25,954 --> 00:14:28,785 Very similar, but very different too. 305 00:14:28,844 --> 00:14:33,954 You know, I played it, it is similar in many ways, but I feel like, you 306 00:14:33,954 --> 00:14:37,605 know, you know, the Platform, people are gonna not like this, but I feel 307 00:14:37,605 --> 00:14:40,185 that Padel So much superior and better. 308 00:14:40,345 --> 00:14:42,304 But that's what, that's what happened. 309 00:14:42,305 --> 00:14:47,375 People that play platform tennis play padel and say, Oh, this is way much 310 00:14:47,375 --> 00:14:52,695 better, much better for my knees, better for the wall, it's so nicer. 311 00:14:53,164 --> 00:14:55,685 So people that play platform tennis, they love padel. 312 00:14:55,774 --> 00:14:56,625 Right, right. 313 00:14:57,005 --> 00:14:57,755 It is very similar. 314 00:14:58,045 --> 00:15:01,225 Before, when I was looking for padel, uh, you know, I was driving around 315 00:15:01,225 --> 00:15:04,689 looking and, and I In Farmington, there's a couple of platform tennis, and 316 00:15:04,689 --> 00:15:07,000 I thought, okay, maybe that's it, I go over there, and I said, I don't know. 317 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,240 No, I know, I exactly, that was my feeling when I started playing here. 318 00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:12,039 Right, right. 319 00:15:12,209 --> 00:15:16,990 So, but people who play platform tennis, you know, in New England, they love Padel. 320 00:15:17,069 --> 00:15:18,367 Yeah, no, I could see that. 321 00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:20,339 So that was a, that was a different thing. 322 00:15:20,339 --> 00:15:22,629 So, so what's the name of the, the, the firm that you guys have? 323 00:15:22,999 --> 00:15:25,350 Um, our firm is GP Architects. 324 00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:25,730 Okay. 325 00:15:26,145 --> 00:15:29,975 Uh, but the art club that we're going to open is called smash 326 00:15:30,145 --> 00:15:32,324 smash like paddle smash, right? 327 00:15:32,385 --> 00:15:33,185 No, I know. 328 00:15:33,564 --> 00:15:36,525 Did you kind of get some inspiration, uh, from paddle 329 00:15:36,525 --> 00:15:38,094 smash or did you not even know? 330 00:15:39,594 --> 00:15:42,864 But it's okay, it's a good thing, you know, it's good energy. 331 00:15:43,144 --> 00:15:44,015 It's exactly great. 332 00:15:44,324 --> 00:15:47,564 Well, we worked for a long time to figure out what's the right name for it. 333 00:15:47,564 --> 00:15:48,795 The name is tough, right? 334 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,790 Coming up with a name is a lot harder than one thinks it is, you know, 335 00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:57,010 because it has to be quick, catchy, you know, it can't be too difficult. 336 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,550 People have to remember and like saying it, you know what I'm saying? 337 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:00,810 So it, this is a little tough. 338 00:16:01,030 --> 00:16:01,370 Okay. 339 00:16:01,649 --> 00:16:05,560 So what made you guys invest into this, uh, to smash, uh, 340 00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:07,340 uh, paddle pickle club, right? 341 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,200 Yes. 342 00:16:08,309 --> 00:16:09,059 It's challenging. 343 00:16:09,109 --> 00:16:14,450 Well, we, uh, actually we play a lot of racket sports, you know, almost every day. 344 00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:16,610 We belong to a couple of clubs. 345 00:16:16,729 --> 00:16:18,660 We have a big social network. 346 00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:23,140 Especially Teresa, that is all around racket sports, tennis. 347 00:16:23,390 --> 00:16:28,820 And, uh, well, we are originally from Argentina and we came here 20 years ago. 348 00:16:29,439 --> 00:16:32,730 And racket sports for us, it was just opening the doors. 349 00:16:33,705 --> 00:16:34,735 Oh, 100%. 350 00:16:35,655 --> 00:16:35,795 100%. 351 00:16:35,945 --> 00:16:39,595 So we're a member of different club here and I play a lot of tennis 352 00:16:39,675 --> 00:16:41,254 and we play platform tennis too. 353 00:16:41,254 --> 00:16:46,814 So we know a lot of people and, and we love Padel and we really 354 00:16:46,815 --> 00:16:48,474 believe that this is going to grow. 355 00:16:48,525 --> 00:16:48,715 Oh yeah. 356 00:16:48,735 --> 00:16:50,575 I know it's going to be a little bit challenging. 357 00:16:50,584 --> 00:16:50,964 It's already growing. 358 00:16:50,965 --> 00:16:51,209 It's already hard. 359 00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:58,320 But, I really trust, more for the economy part, is for what we love. 360 00:16:58,330 --> 00:16:59,200 The passion, I'm the same way. 361 00:16:59,210 --> 00:16:59,949 The passion. 362 00:17:00,130 --> 00:17:00,609 For the last two years. 363 00:17:00,609 -->

Okay, so let's talk about that with, with club owners. 366 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:09,960 Why do you say that? 367 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:14,960 And, and how do you think, you're saying 24 months is where you 368 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,345 can get into the, not a return on investment, but kind of, uh, in, in 369 00:17:19,345 --> 00:17:21,845 the black, let's just say, why is that? 370 00:17:21,845 --> 00:17:23,565 And how are you going to be able to do that? 371 00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:31,725 Well, we, um, we hired a, a consulting, uh, person who has got more than 30 372

Sarah. 376 00:17:36,134 --> 00:17:36,374 Yeah. 377 00:17:36,374 --> 00:17:36,584 Yeah. 378 00:17:36,814 --> 00:17:38,425 She's a great person. 379 00:17:39,485 --> 00:17:40,265 But this is paddle. 380 00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:41,889 Yeah, I understand. 381 00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:42,689 I understand. 382 00:17:42,689 --> 00:17:43,179 Correct. 383 00:17:43,189 --> 00:17:47,570 But, uh, we, uh, but she has experience on, on a club itself. 384 00:17:47,570 --> 00:17:47,879 Yeah. 385 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,879 So we are sort of like adapting her knowledge and putting things together 386 00:17:52,889 --> 00:17:55,300 for what paddle and pickable will be. 387 00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:56,590 So that's really smart. 388 00:17:56,709 --> 00:18:00,139 And I think the lateral club owners outside of Florida, St. 389 00:18:00,139 --> 00:18:05,629 Texas, all kind of overlooked because, um, this person like Sarah or like many 390 00:18:05,629 --> 00:18:09,670 other, um, You know, um, club owners for many, many years know what the 391 00:18:09,670 --> 00:18:15,230 pitfalls are and what to avoid, you know, that costs you money and time. 392 00:18:15,610 --> 00:18:19,140 And so they can tell you what works, what doesn't work, you 393 00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:20,489 know, and it could definitely help. 394 00:18:20,489 --> 00:18:21,759 And they came from a family. 395 00:18:22,190 --> 00:18:23,160 Yeah, they have clubs. 396 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,139 Yeah, we felt like it was, it for our investors to hire a person 397 00:18:29,169 --> 00:18:31,080 who knows what she's doing. 398 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,080 And she has the passion too. 399 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:32,710 Exactly. 400 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:33,260 I could see it. 401 00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:33,810 I felt it. 402 00:18:33,810 --> 00:18:37,780 She's a tennis player and, you know, and I play tennis with her. 403 00:18:37,789 --> 00:18:38,860 I play in her club. 404 00:18:38,860 --> 00:18:40,030 Sometimes we play together. 405 00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:41,689 She's better than me, but it's fine. 406 00:18:41,690 --> 00:18:43,600 But who's better at padel? 407 00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:45,060 I don't know. 408 00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:45,280 Yeah. 409 00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:48,120 No, that's, that, that would be a question. 410 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:51,899 But, um, so, so I know her for a long time. 411 00:18:51,929 --> 00:18:53,393 I know her passion of this. 412 00:18:53,393 --> 00:18:53,609 Yeah. 413 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:58,219 You know, the sport and how passion she put it in her club 414 00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:00,310 and how many members she have. 415 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,590 That is part of the member that we probably, you know, 416 00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:05,990 we will have some reciprocity. 417 00:19:05,999 --> 00:19:11,659 So, um, so the whole thing, we try to have the best of the best, you know, like Tom 418 00:19:11,659 --> 00:19:17,379 with his experience in, in clubs, in, you know, building clubs, you know, courts. 419 00:19:17,649 --> 00:19:20,679 So we try to have every good on everything. 420 00:19:20,775 --> 00:19:22,401 That's what we try. 421 00:19:22,401 --> 00:19:28,305 And this is gonna reduce your exposure to, you know, risks like making mistakes, 422 00:19:28,345 --> 00:19:31,415 um, getting to be in the black sooner. 423 00:19:31,534 --> 00:19:34,704 If you didn't have this group, I mean, you're looking at 24 months, 424 00:19:34,704 --> 00:19:35,964 that's what you're saying roughly. 425 00:19:36,374 --> 00:19:40,164 If you didn't have that, that group, do you think it would take longer even? 426 00:19:41,134 --> 00:19:41,694 Probably. 427 00:19:41,744 --> 00:19:45,324 I would say, you know, the network is very important too. 428 00:19:45,324 --> 00:19:45,964 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 429 00:19:45,964 --> 00:19:52,360 So, um, so bringing the network together with the With a nice team. 430 00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:56,560 I think that's probably a secret for success. 431 00:19:56,950 --> 00:20:01,230 A team that you have people from different backgrounds that 432 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,810 they can contribute to the team. 433 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,789 And that's what we were able to create in here. 434 00:20:07,899 --> 00:20:08,530 I saw that. 435 00:20:08,729 --> 00:20:10,904 I saw you had, you know, a lot of different people. 436 00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:14,945 People that have their different experiences that can contribute to this, 437 00:20:14,995 --> 00:20:16,915 this club, which is, I think, looks great. 438 00:20:17,024 --> 00:20:17,415 Correct. 439 00:20:17,754 --> 00:20:18,065 Yes. 440 00:20:18,264 --> 00:20:21,035 And now we, investors are very excited too. 441 00:20:21,145 --> 00:20:24,735 And they, you know, they're, um, we have squash players. 442 00:20:24,774 --> 00:20:25,825 She's the, um. 443 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:30,350 The captain, she's the, um, she's the director of the Yale, um. 444 00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,070 Yeah, one of our investors, uh, Lynn is, uh, she's the manager 445 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,810 for Yale, uh, squash team. 446 00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:37,519 She's the captain of the Yale team. 447 00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:37,830 Okay. 448 00:20:37,859 --> 00:20:43,080 So, but, uh, uh, talking about, you know, um, uh, sports across 449 00:20:43,130 --> 00:20:44,470 the, you know, the board. 450 00:20:44,530 --> 00:20:47,940 Uh, I think in the end, you know, Padel is going to grow 451 00:20:47,940 --> 00:20:50,110 as going to colleges, you know. 452 00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:50,990 That's what we're hoping for. 453 00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:52,370 There's one in California already. 454 00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:52,520 Yes. 455 00:20:52,529 --> 00:20:54,239 And we're hoping that it's going to spread. 456 00:20:54,239 --> 00:20:55,259 Yes, yes, yes. 457 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,470 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 458 00:20:56,889 --> 00:20:59,610 I was I read somewhere that there's one in California. 459 00:20:59,649 --> 00:21:03,169 Um, I don't know which university, but I'll get back to on that and let 460 00:21:03,169 --> 00:21:04,560 you know, but there is one there. 461 00:21:04,919 --> 00:21:10,289 So I think if it gets into the schools, right, and this is where we can work with 462 00:21:10,289 --> 00:21:14,000 the youth, right, then, then they can, it can grow and people be like, okay, 463 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,510 well, maybe there's scholarships for I'm going to talk about, you know, a couple of 464 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,260 decades forward, you know what I'm saying? 465 00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:23,530 Not, not tomorrow, but I mean, it is, I definitely do see it. 466 00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:28,280 I mean, you're saying 24 months for club owners. 467 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,669 Um, maybe, maybe sooner, but we need to be safe. 468 00:21:33,679 --> 00:21:38,720 You know, now you talked about network and I think that's also really big. 469 00:21:38,889 --> 00:21:41,869 Um, having a network of hundreds or thousands of 470 00:21:41,879 --> 00:21:44,219 people that you can obviously. 471 00:21:44,544 --> 00:21:47,675 Mark it too and say, hey, come down and, and, you know, try playing 472 00:21:47,675 --> 00:21:50,935 paddle and hopefully they, they, they love it and they'll come back. 473 00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:54,654 But what other way, because you're, you're going into an area 474 00:21:54,655 --> 00:21:56,405 that nobody knows paddle, right? 475 00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:57,915 It's a very small minority. 476 00:21:57,945 --> 00:22:03,554 How do you, how do you, how do you get them to really, uh, see what it is and 477 00:22:03,554 --> 00:22:05,185 get them excited to come, come down? 478 00:22:05,235 --> 00:22:08,094 Besides the network, because I think network's really important, really, 479 00:22:08,094 --> 00:22:09,274 but that's going to be very helpful. 480 00:22:09,975 --> 00:22:13,205 But, you know, there's a lot more people out in Connecticut or 481 00:22:13,205 --> 00:22:15,715 within, let's say a 30 mile radius. 482 00:22:16,435 --> 00:22:21,725 Yeah, I think we are well We have a demographics in areas that we are 483 00:22:22,144 --> 00:22:26,714 building That there is already a market for people that plays racquet sports 484 00:22:27,585 --> 00:22:32,475 And uh, and it did grow with pickable I have to say but you're pulling them from 485 00:22:32,475 --> 00:22:33,785 the same market You're pulling them. 486 00:22:33,865 --> 00:22:34,935 They're already playing tennis. 487 00:22:34,935 --> 00:22:37,385 They're yes, you're trying to pull them to there. 488 00:22:37,745 --> 00:22:41,715 So You Maybe that's a network, but how about people that are not 489 00:22:42,045 --> 00:22:44,325 going to the rest of the people? 490 00:22:44,595 --> 00:22:49,905 How are we, you going to show them what what we already know is one of the best 491 00:22:49,905 --> 00:22:52,065 sports ever and get 'em into the club? 492 00:22:52,695 --> 00:22:52,905 Yeah. 493 00:22:52,905 --> 00:22:55,395 That's, that's a, that's a challenge I would say. 494 00:22:56,295 --> 00:22:58,815 I think I, I see that with a lot of clothes, you know? 495 00:22:58,905 --> 00:22:59,205 I see. 496 00:22:59,205 --> 00:23:00,225 That is the challenge. 497 00:23:00,405 --> 00:23:00,555 Yes. 498 00:23:00,555 --> 00:23:05,565 But I think once you do, once they see that, that's when you get that, that 499 00:23:05,565 --> 00:23:07,095 rush, you're gonna see all those court. 500 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:12,790 It's booked for sure, but one of the thing we want to use as maybe the restaurant, 501 00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:19,709 the bar, you know, that could be a way to attract because we were, we've been 502 00:23:19,709 --> 00:23:23,379 talking with people that may be going to run the restaurant and the bar. 503 00:23:23,639 --> 00:23:29,810 They already have their own network in New Haven, so they can bring people also. 504 00:23:29,939 --> 00:23:30,199 Right. 505 00:23:30,199 --> 00:23:30,419 Yeah. 506 00:23:30,419 --> 00:23:34,500 We are manager is already, you know, we already have higher manager, 507 00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:35,909 even though we don't have the clout. 508 00:23:35,909 --> 00:23:36,760 Finished. 509 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,570 But he's already working on corporate events. 510 00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:40,440 That's great. 511 00:23:40,450 --> 00:23:40,770 It's very smart. 512 00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:45,670 Because, uh, you know, we think that we can, uh, partner with companies 513 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,740 or, you know, they can be, we can offer different type of events 514 00:23:49,749 --> 00:23:51,950 for them, you know, for employees. 515 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,230 They can gather at the club and they can have like a night that they can socialize. 516 00:23:57,490 --> 00:23:59,830 Maybe free, free, free time to play. 517 00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:00,430 Definitely. 518 00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:01,230 In your dead zones. 519 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:01,760 Oh, of course. 520 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,030 Yeah. 521 00:24:02,030 --> 00:24:04,540 I mean, you know, market, um, sign up. 522 00:24:05,389 --> 00:24:09,790 You get information more, more, more, uh, more leads that you have 523 00:24:09,790 --> 00:24:11,570 and they can come in and try it out. 524 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,360 I think people just need to try it out first and see how much fun and, 525 00:24:16,020 --> 00:24:20,659 you know, They're just like, I gotta bring my friends, you gotta come, 526 00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:21,810 you gotta come and play, you know. 527 00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:27,679 When we put a portable court in Sara Club last year, almost at 528 00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:29,240 the, you know, it was kind of cold. 529 00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:32,440 People say, oh, I don't want to add another sport. 530 00:24:33,050 --> 00:24:36,760 So when they start playing, oh, this is so much fun. 531 00:24:36,790 --> 00:24:41,530 Oh, maybe, let me think about it because I'm getting older playing platform tennis 532 00:24:41,530 --> 00:24:44,080 and this one is so nicer for my body. 533 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,550 So, just, we have to figure out the way that it is. 534 00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:49,179 Okay, come, come once. 535 00:24:49,929 --> 00:24:50,690 Just, just feel it. 536 00:24:50,999 --> 00:24:52,160 And you tell me after. 537 00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:54,630 So we need to just bring our friends. 538 00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:59,250 You know, and people that we know and they play sport and they say, Oh no, 539 00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:00,900 I don't want to add another sport. 540 00:25:00,980 --> 00:25:02,350 I hear that all the time. 541 00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:03,880 So, okay, just try it. 542 00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:06,199 Don't add if you don't want to just try it. 543 00:25:06,199 --> 00:25:08,099 I'm like, Oh, this is pretty good. 544 00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:09,049 Oh, I like it. 545 00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:13,080 So, so you don't have to play, um, every day. 546 00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:17,630 If you come the first time or two times, you already find the rhythm, 547 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,380 find something that you like it. 548 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,145 So I think you don't have to, you know, tennis, You have to play for a year 549 00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:26,246 maybe to start to find the rhythm. 550 00:25:26,246 --> 00:25:27,135 This one now. 551 00:25:28,254 --> 00:25:32,845 If you have a racket sport before, maybe you're going to play as a tennis player. 552 00:25:33,435 --> 00:25:38,834 But you find some kind of a, you know, you like it when you start one or two times. 553 00:25:38,845 --> 00:25:40,074 So that's my feeling. 554 00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:43,395 So I'm really excited that we have Smash opening up in Brantford. 555 00:25:43,395 --> 00:25:46,034 When do you think that's going to open? 556 00:25:46,745 --> 00:25:47,375 December. 557 00:25:47,544 --> 00:25:48,185 December. 558 00:25:48,235 --> 00:25:48,615 Yes. 559 00:25:48,824 --> 00:25:49,595 For sure? 560 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,350 That's the goal. 561 00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:52,939 That's the goal. 562 00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:54,370 But we start from scratch. 563 00:25:54,370 --> 00:25:55,630 December 2025. 564 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:56,490 24. 565 00:25:56,490 --> 00:25:58,099 24. 566 00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:58,720 24. 567 00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:00,010 Oh man, you guys are vicious. 568 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,880 So the thing is we start from scratch. 569 00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:07,489 You know, some club you're looking for like a warehouse because we're an 570 00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:09,780 architect, we want to design from scratch. 571 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,110 Yeah. 572 00:26:10,190 --> 00:26:13,290 So we have a chance now to do that from scratch. 573 00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:17,450 Well, not only that, it was, we have looked for warehouses and 574 00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:19,130 none of them had the right height. 575 00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:24,320 They're all the same, you know, like 20 feet or less, you know, it's like, yeah, 576 00:26:24,690 --> 00:26:27,100 well, there are a lot of them are like 15. 577 00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,570 So, so, you know, as architects, couldn't you look at that and see 578 00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:34,880 how we can then raise the rooftop? 579 00:26:35,259 --> 00:26:39,220 Because now, as designers and architects, you can pick out a 580 00:26:39,220 --> 00:26:41,040 warehouse in a prime location. 581 00:26:41,610 --> 00:26:42,980 That maybe only has 15 feet. 582 00:26:43,129 --> 00:26:44,600 Yeah, but then you can raise it. 583 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,864 But the most important thing is everybody knows location, location, location. 584 00:26:47,864 --> 00:26:49,159 Yeah, the problem in Connecticut. 585 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,069 It's gonna be expensive to do. 586 00:26:51,069 --> 00:26:51,359 Right. 587 00:26:51,439 --> 00:26:51,669 Yeah. 588 00:26:52,029 --> 00:26:53,709 But if you're in the right location. 589 00:26:53,719 --> 00:26:54,120 Sure. 590 00:26:54,459 --> 00:26:57,020 You get where you have the affluent people, you have a lot of the 591 00:26:57,020 --> 00:26:58,389 city, a lot of people coming by. 592 00:26:58,870 --> 00:27:00,830 It may be worthwhile. 593 00:27:00,990 --> 00:27:01,590 Definitely. 594 00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:03,889 Definitely, you know, it's worth to look at it. 595 00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:08,159 Uh, there, there are corridors that they're actually warehouses. 596 00:27:08,810 --> 00:27:14,830 You cannot find warehouses like it's it's a huge commodity like right now Companies 597 00:27:14,830 --> 00:27:17,419 like Amazon or distribution companies. 598 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:19,040 They they take everything. 599 00:27:19,060 --> 00:27:24,229 Yeah, they take everything that they can So if we actually have a friend who builds 600 00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:29,109 this kind of a warehouses and we wanted to rent one from him He said no, no, no, no. 601 00:27:29,259 --> 00:27:29,859 I got a list. 602 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:36,570 Yeah, they're paying top dollar, you know Yeah, yeah, but so we felt like So, 603 00:27:36,570 --> 00:27:41,590 okay, why don't we build one, you know, it's probably going to be the first build 604 00:27:41,590 --> 00:27:43,820 from scratch, but that occurred in the U. 605 00:27:43,820 --> 00:27:44,320 S. 606 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:45,240 I don't know, U. 607 00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:46,839 S., but yeah, kind of. 608 00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:48,659 That, uh, yeah, we don't know. 609 00:27:48,910 --> 00:27:50,530 Okay, so let's go over this design. 610 00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:51,799 Yeah, this is Smash. 611 00:27:51,870 --> 00:27:55,430 This is the drawings of the renders from Elevation. 612 00:27:55,630 --> 00:28:00,520 Uh, we actually conceptually wanted to have, The course in the front of the 613 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:06,590 building, actually on purpose so the people can drive by and see activity. 614 00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:10,259 This is something that we, we don't like in many clubs that 615 00:28:10,290 --> 00:28:11,650 everything happens inside. 616 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,929 We like the, we like the interior to come to outside and 617 00:28:15,929 --> 00:28:17,870 show the people that drive by. 618 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,790 It's very smart. 619 00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:19,670 What is happening. 620 00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:20,430 Very smart. 621 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,110 And that's why we have some opening too in, in, in the front 622 00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:26,469 elevation so you can see through. 623 00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:31,675 And from the top, from the second floor, you can watch too, you know, 624 00:28:31,685 --> 00:28:35,735 you can, on the top of the entrance, you can watch the courts too. 625 00:28:35,735 --> 00:28:36,855 And outside as well. 626 00:28:37,405 --> 00:28:37,895 Yeah. 627 00:28:38,075 --> 00:28:39,924 So you can stay inside the A. 628 00:28:39,924 --> 00:28:40,294 C. 629 00:28:40,395 --> 00:28:41,825 and have a drink and watch. 630 00:28:41,825 --> 00:28:44,744 You can have a drink, you can watch if you want to, yes. 631 00:28:44,754 --> 00:28:45,705 That's a great idea. 632 00:28:46,055 --> 00:28:46,385 Great design. 633 00:28:46,455 --> 00:28:50,115 So, the other thing is, imagine this at night, with the lights on. 634 00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:57,470 And, uh, and, uh, people surrounding the course and cheering and enjoying. 635 00:28:57,490 --> 00:28:59,889 I think also people who are a little intimidated to go in, they might 636 00:28:59,890 --> 00:29:01,140 just drive around and just look. 637 00:29:01,470 --> 00:29:01,800 Correct. 638 00:29:02,220 --> 00:29:02,490 Right. 639 00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:02,920 Sure. 640 00:29:03,019 --> 00:29:03,720 Let me just go in. 641 00:29:05,090 --> 00:29:05,449 It is. 642 00:29:05,479 --> 00:29:06,560 It is attractive. 643 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,030 And, um, actually many players likes to play outside. 644 00:29:11,935 --> 00:29:12,425 That's the other thing. 645 00:29:12,425 --> 00:29:12,895 Yeah, yeah. 646 00:29:12,935 --> 00:29:13,264 It is. 647 00:29:13,274 --> 00:29:14,495 So we have an option. 648 00:29:14,605 --> 00:29:15,534 With a good temperature. 649 00:29:15,534 --> 00:29:16,135 Not too hot. 650 00:29:16,175 --> 00:29:16,274 Yes. 651 00:29:16,665 --> 00:29:17,004 Right. 652 00:29:17,225 --> 00:29:18,105 With a good temperature. 653 00:29:18,324 --> 00:29:19,465 People like to play outside. 654 00:29:19,465 --> 00:29:21,514 So we give them the opportunity to do that. 655 00:29:22,125 --> 00:29:27,404 And, um, in the future, we envision this as like, uh, uh, food trucks coming 656 00:29:27,404 --> 00:29:33,294 over and park near the courts and people enjoy having a drink or having food. 657 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,850 And we're exposing those people that come to the food truck to pet battle. 658 00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:41,050 Yes, you know, so then you get more people Hey, let me try 659 00:29:41,050 --> 00:29:42,139 that and you make it go to them. 660 00:29:42,159 --> 00:29:46,429 Say here's a voucher to play for free Come, you know what i'm saying? 661 00:29:46,439 --> 00:29:48,210 And boom, they all you need them to come. 662 00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:49,389 We'll use one time. 663 00:29:49,689 --> 00:29:50,189 That's it. 664 00:29:50,199 --> 00:29:55,960 They're gonna come back So after when you get in so we have two Paddle court 665 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:02,520 outside you get in you have two indoor court And we have six pickable courts. 666 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:06,600 So we have a corridor between the two pickable courts. 667 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:11,439 And in the back we can put it like Jerry said, maybe a truck with food trucks 668 00:30:11,439 --> 00:30:15,990 and you can use all the middle part for, you know, have some drinks and view. 669 00:30:16,879 --> 00:30:22,450 And we have a mezzanine so you can watch the, the paddle courts and you can watch 670 00:30:22,450 --> 00:30:24,990 a little bit from the top, um, the court. 671 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,590 Very smart. 672 00:30:25,950 --> 00:30:27,359 How tall are the ceilings going to be? 673 00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:28,909 At the middle, we are 30 feet. 674 00:30:29,870

00:33:21,660 So how about, um, let's talk about any other clubs you guys designed, 746 00:33:21,690 --> 00:33:25,430 uh, prior to this or Anything in the future moving forward? 747 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,880 Yeah, we have designed some pickleball clubs that they're already, uh, working. 748 00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:30,939 Is that here in Connecticut? 749 00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:32,440 Yes 750 00:33:35,010 --> 00:33:35,640 Pickle spot. 751 00:33:35,899 --> 00:33:36,304 Yeah. 752 00:33:36,304 --> 00:33:36,420 Okay. 753 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,600 And how big was that? 754 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,230 Um, they have five courts. 755 00:33:40,530 --> 00:33:45,915 Okay, and uh, it was a warehouse Um, but, uh, so the design came 756 00:33:45,915 --> 00:33:49,875 out really nice and, uh, I think it's working well, you know. 757 00:33:49,875 --> 00:33:50,325 Right, right. 758 00:33:50,555 --> 00:33:54,255 And, uh, especially in, in New England, you, people look for 759 00:33:54,285 --> 00:33:57,825 indoor facilities and they're specifically designed for pickleball. 760 00:33:58,125 --> 00:33:58,355 Okay. 761 00:33:58,385 --> 00:34:02,785 Because otherwise you get to play on, on courts that, you know, one 762 00:34:02,785 --> 00:34:04,685 line overlaps to other courts. 763 00:34:04,685 --> 00:34:05,865 Right, right, right, right, right. 764 00:34:05,865 --> 00:34:07,715 Which is, or, or also for safety. 765 00:34:07,715 --> 00:34:08,475 Some clubs. 766 00:34:08,915 --> 00:34:13,574 Because they adapt to pickable, they don't have the required space in the back of 767 00:34:13,604 --> 00:34:16,584 the court, and that's not safe many times. 768 00:34:16,674 --> 00:34:17,584 Right, right, right. 769 00:34:17,645 --> 00:34:18,314 Um. 770 00:34:18,375 --> 00:34:21,374 And also just, uh, being attractive, the place being attractive. 771 00:34:22,154 --> 00:34:25,284 Like, tell the people how important it is, the design. 772 00:34:25,455 --> 00:34:27,494 You know, some people kind of overlook it a little bit. 773 00:34:27,955 --> 00:34:31,943 But I think if you create that emotion and that feeling when you walk in. 774 00:34:31,943 --> 00:34:33,559 You know, sometimes they want to. 775 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,719 They want to add more courts, and I think maybe you need maybe one less, but you 776 00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:44,380 feel like the comfort That person says, no, I need all the courts I know, but you 777 00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:49,509 want to have filled the court too And you want people to feel comfortable to a nice 778 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:54,840 space around to watch or you know I think that's what's missing because that you 779 00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,180 know in in the cities the price per square fee is so high that you can't sacrifice 780 00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:04,100 that You're trying to fill in everything and then you're missing what you said 781 00:35:04,109 --> 00:35:06,680 before about the social aspect of it. 782 00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:10,089 You know, so there's not, if there's not a lot of space to hang out, to do 783 00:35:10,089 --> 00:35:13,749 this, to do that, you're just going to go play and then boom, you, you go out. 784 00:35:13,749 --> 00:35:17,809 Like I, I've been in, in, in Europe too, in a few different clubs and 785 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,229 some of them have clubs everywhere. 786 00:35:20,479 --> 00:35:23,819 The, you know, the, the, the courts everywhere and you just, just getting 787 00:35:23,819 --> 00:35:27,759 there and other ones are more like restaurant, more like, okay, we want 788 00:35:27,759 --> 00:35:29,249 you to stay all day type of feel. 789 00:35:29,610 --> 00:35:34,530 And when I was younger, we played recce, sports, tennis, squash, and every Sunday 790 00:35:34,530 --> 00:35:39,770 we'd go to the tennis club and we'd be there all day, you know, so kids 791 00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:42,119 would be there playing, doing whatever they're doing, they're playing tennis, 792 00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:45,579 afterwards take a shower, they stay the day, they eat, they do whatever 793 00:35:45,579 --> 00:35:46,969 they're going to do, take a whole event. 794 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,140 And I think that's what works. 795 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,800 Trying to get people there to do that is, is uh, I think a challenge right now. 796 00:35:54,860 --> 00:36:01,399 Um, I think, well, uh, you mentioned that you'd be at the club the whole day. 797 00:36:01,919 --> 00:36:05,599 That's what, uh, we're proposing to have camps for children. 798 00:36:05,779 --> 00:36:06,620 Oh yeah, it's smart. 799 00:36:06,660 --> 00:36:09,779 Uh, summer camps or after school programs. 800 00:36:10,909 --> 00:36:12,509 You know, I think the kids will love it. 801 00:36:12,999 --> 00:36:16,019 Um, if you have the room to do it. 802 00:36:16,109 --> 00:36:19,014 What you could do is show the Pan American Games. 803 00:36:19,014 --> 00:36:19,799 Thanks. 804 00:36:19,799 --> 00:36:19,979 Thanks. 805 00:36:20,510 --> 00:36:23,630 That there's a a need for you younger players? 806 00:36:23,810 --> 00:36:24,020 Yes. 807 00:36:24,020 --> 00:36:28,040 And they get excited and I'm like, oh my God, I could go represent the USA. 808 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,090 Yeah. 809 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,030 Let me go, let me, let me, let me do the after school program. 810 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:33,410 You know, let me do this. 811 00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:36,765 And then all you need is one person to go there and represent the USA 812 00:36:37,505 --> 00:36:41,060 and that, and that person tells in the school, Hey, I did this. 813 00:36:41,090 --> 00:36:42,290 Oh my God, you have a line. 814 00:36:42,290 --> 00:36:44,030 Of course you have a line out the door. 815 00:36:44,030 --> 00:36:46,190 So you know, there's, there's a need for. 816 00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:49,880 You know, the youth right now, you know, representing the USA, you know, 817 00:36:49,890 --> 00:36:53,260 when it comes to Pan American games, you know, so there's a lot of little 818 00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:56,129 things you can do to attract players. 819 00:36:56,650 --> 00:36:56,929 Yeah. 820 00:36:56,929 --> 00:37:00,310 And, you know, as I mentioned before, we were in Argentina. 821 00:37:00,990 --> 00:37:05,850 Sometimes I get emotional when I see a kid playing Fidel, like a 12 year old kid. 822 00:37:06,270 --> 00:37:10,020 So, oh my God, this is, this is what should happen everywhere. 823 00:37:10,130 --> 00:37:10,560 Yes. 824 00:37:10,610 --> 00:37:11,480 I have my daughter. 825 00:37:12,585 --> 00:37:17,395 I'm going to show you a video afterwards and I'm like, Oh my gosh, both my 826 00:37:17,395 --> 00:37:21,515 kids, all my three kids play, you know, and they, and they play pretty well. 827 00:37:21,615 --> 00:37:25,524 I mean, for, for their age, uh, and they, you know, as you can see back here, they 828 00:37:25,535 --> 00:37:26,824 have been helping me put up this court. 829 00:37:26,855 --> 00:37:29,904 They're dying to play, dying to play, you know? 830 00:37:29,904 --> 00:37:31,039 Um, so, okay. 831 00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:35,435 So how about future stuff, future, um, clubs that you're going to design or 832 00:37:35,435 --> 00:37:37,515 are investing in or part of you guys do? 833 00:37:37,515 --> 00:37:41,165 We'll Both investing clubs or this is the only one you're investing in. 834 00:37:41,175 --> 00:37:44,755 This is the only one we are investing What what was your 835 00:37:44,755 --> 00:37:46,725 responsibilities as an investor? 836 00:37:46,744 --> 00:37:48,734 Is it financial or is it more input? 837 00:37:48,765 --> 00:37:50,825 Um, it was it was both. 838 00:37:50,935 --> 00:37:57,055 Okay um, we are um, one of the majority owners, okay, and uh So everything 839 00:37:57,125 --> 00:38:03,770 actually started with the group as I said as per se but uh But the only one 840 00:38:03,770 --> 00:38:08,490 that we actually had to work in the beginning, it was us, which, which, 841 00:38:08,819 --> 00:38:13,779 which is fine because we enjoy doing it, but, uh, but now the whole team is 842 00:38:13,779 --> 00:38:20,339 working, but what I recommend is like, find a good architect, find somebody that 843 00:38:20,350 --> 00:38:23,400 knows to start with the right concepts. 844 00:38:23,490 --> 00:38:23,900 Right. 845 00:38:24,009 --> 00:38:27,069 And if you start with the right concepts, you can get investors 846 00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:31,324 after they see what the architect has done with the right concepts. 847 00:38:31,625 --> 00:38:36,464 Beautiful design that Teresa has done too, and show it to different people. 848 00:38:36,504 --> 00:38:37,424 People get excited. 849 00:38:37,464 --> 00:38:38,745 It's a visual thing. 850 00:38:38,794 --> 00:38:40,874 So, instead of telling you, it's showing you. 851 00:38:40,955 --> 00:38:43,994 So, I think it's definitely a big part when you're working 852 00:38:43,995 --> 00:38:44,995 with investors, for sure. 853 00:38:45,004 --> 00:38:47,855 So, we're working now on a project in Orlando. 854 00:38:47,944 --> 00:38:48,304 Okay. 855 00:38:48,364 --> 00:38:50,064 So, we start Where in Orlando? 856 00:38:50,364 --> 00:38:51,714 Um, it's Lake Nona. 857 00:38:51,784 --> 00:38:52,544 Lake Nona. 858 00:38:52,544 --> 00:38:53,804 Lake Nona is awesome. 859 00:38:53,984 --> 00:38:55,754 It's a great place. 860 00:38:55,874 --> 00:39:00,484 I mean I mean, I go there, you know, um, at least a handful of times, 861 00:39:00,524 --> 00:39:03,504 uh, a year, um, it's up and growing. 862 00:39:03,535 --> 00:39:08,574 I mean, it's, it's an awesome place, you know, I just can't believe how cool it is. 863 00:39:08,574 --> 00:39:09,514 It's very cool. 864 00:39:09,515 --> 00:39:14,774 There is a lot of development and, uh, this new club is going to be at 865 00:39:14,794 --> 00:39:20,834 first six padel courts, all indoor because, uh, the owner, Pedro did 866 00:39:20,834 --> 00:39:26,270 a study, like how many, Hours you lose because of the rain in florida. 867 00:39:26,270 --> 00:39:26,850 Yeah, of course. 868 00:39:26,850 --> 00:39:31,670 Yep And he said well if I calculate the amount of hours tell our viewers what 869 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:33,860 that is, you you know What is that? 870 00:39:33,869 --> 00:39:34,919 What percentage of it? 871 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,420 He was talking about 30 percent. 872 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,730 That's that's i've been saying that for a while 30 I've been estimating so that's 873 00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:42,110 I think I think that's about right. 874 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,460 That's a lot that it is. 875 00:39:43,690 --> 00:39:44,140 That's a lot. 876 00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:48,640 Yes Yes, you know, so you may have to invest more But that 30 877 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,700 percent could get you the return investment A year and a half. 878 00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:56,212 And after that, you're up 30 percent And you can play any time during the day. 879 00:39:56,212 --> 00:39:57,496 It is whatever weather. 880 00:39:57,496 --> 00:40:01,290 With the clubs that are outside, as soon as it rains, you get 881 00:40:01,290 --> 00:40:02,589 called and they're all filled up. 882 00:40:02,590 --> 00:40:04,039 Even, even in the time that it's snowing. 883 00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:06,669 Yeah, like the National USTA Tennis Center is there. 884 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,029 They have four courts. 885 00:40:08,409 --> 00:40:11,439 And we were there, uh, Teresa was getting certified. 886 00:40:11,979 --> 00:40:13,709 And, uh, and it started raining. 887 00:40:13,709 --> 00:40:14,729 It started

00:41:01,895 --> 00:41:06,450 So, uh, I'm excited to To see that when do you think that it's going to 922 00:41:06,450 --> 00:41:10,399 um develop when do you think that's gonna It's gonna take probably a year 923 00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:15,119 a year the owner would like this to happen a lot right now We're working 924 00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:19,229 in the design right now I mean, I see I see this all the time in miami. 925 00:41:19,229 --> 00:41:23,029 So we've been talking with the building department They already know so 926 00:41:23,179 --> 00:41:24,699 planning and zoning building department. 927 00:41:24,709 --> 00:41:25,959 They know what we're doing. 928 00:41:25,959 --> 00:41:30,459 So they are very familiar So we're doing all the preliminary studies. 929 00:41:30,469 --> 00:41:34,849 So we're I think that's going to be really helpful Uh, the more clubs open up, 930 00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:38,349 the more they, they know what it is, so it's easier for the next guy, you know? 931 00:41:38,509 --> 00:41:41,379 And I thought there were more in, in Orlando, and there's 932 00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:42,970 not many clubs in Orlando. 933 00:41:42,970 --> 00:41:44,459 It's more like in Miami. 934 00:41:44,509 --> 00:41:47,839 Yeah, Caribe Royale and, uh, the US, uh, TA. 935 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:48,559 That's it. 936 00:41:48,789 --> 00:41:54,120 Yeah, now that you mentioned about hotels and, and hospitality, I think Padel 937 00:41:54,120 --> 00:42:00,970 eventually will grow in places like the Caribbean, uh, with, uh, or resorts. 938 00:42:00,990 --> 00:42:01,209 Yes. 939 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,169 I think that's something that is worth to explore. 940 00:42:04,269 --> 00:42:05,060 A hundred percent. 941 00:42:05,470 --> 00:42:08,689 I think the smartest thing that they've, they've done, they're not stressing. 942 00:42:08,729 --> 00:42:12,339 Um, you know, that's just additional revenue, another vertical, small 943 00:42:12,350 --> 00:42:16,180 vertical, because they already have, they're established, so not stressing 944 00:42:16,229 --> 00:42:21,089 about it, you know, um, and, and I think that's some of the problems these new 945 00:42:21,089 --> 00:42:22,379 club owners are going to have, right. 946 00:42:22,379 --> 00:42:25,290 They're opening up, um, maybe they don't plan on marketing. 947 00:42:25,290 --> 00:42:28,450 They don't have the right people and they're basing everything. 948 00:42:28,450 --> 00:42:29,990 There's a lot of different verticals are basing everything 949 00:42:29,999 --> 00:42:31,160 in those courts to support. 950 00:42:31,175 --> 00:42:35,435 don't know about that club, and they may be estimated six months, maybe 951 00:42:35,435 --> 00:42:38,334 10 months before they're going to black and, you know, that may not be 952 00:42:38,334 --> 00:42:41,944 the case, you know, especially in an area where people don't know paddle. 953 00:42:42,285 --> 00:42:46,924 But that is when I saw that I said, man, that is and I've communicated 954 00:42:46,924 --> 00:42:50,884 with a lot of sports facility places say, Hey, let me put one in there. 955 00:42:50,885 --> 00:42:55,225 You know, pay for share revenue or or you buy it and you know, 956 00:42:55,254 --> 00:42:56,254 they're going to help you out. 957 00:42:56,825 --> 00:43:00,575 Um, but they're all, they like it, but they're all It's kind 958 00:43:00,575 --> 00:43:02,444 of like, they go to pickle. 959 00:43:03,254 --> 00:43:05,795 It's easy, quick, fast, people already know it. 960 00:43:06,265 --> 00:43:07,415 But I think that's going to change. 961 00:43:07,654 --> 00:43:12,734 Yes, mean, with a club in Norwalk, your club in Bradford, and a 962 00:43:12,734 --> 00:43:13,795 couple of other clubs opening up. 963 00:43:13,805 --> 00:43:14,694 What is this? 964 00:43:14,714 --> 00:43:16,654 Okay, this is what we need to put in our facility. 965 00:43:16,664 --> 00:43:21,024 And I have to say, that was crazy 30 years ago in Argentina, when 966 00:43:21,024 --> 00:43:23,455 this came up with old technology. 967 00:43:23,455 --> 00:43:23,595 Okay. 968 00:43:24,314 --> 00:43:26,694 And I saw how they did this. 969 00:43:26,774 --> 00:43:29,705 And, and that's what they're doing all around the world right now. 970 00:43:30,504 --> 00:43:31,875 So, it's gonna happen here. 971 00:43:31,984 --> 00:43:32,404 Oh yeah. 972 00:43:32,805 --> 00:43:35,625 And with the better technology, with all nicer. 973 00:43:36,305 --> 00:43:38,634 And the best thing, you're gonna have one of the best clubs there in Connecticut. 974 00:43:38,634 --> 00:43:39,004 When it happens. 975 00:43:39,705 --> 00:43:39,895 Boom. 976 00:43:41,024 --> 00:43:41,174 Exactly. 977 00:43:41,625 --> 00:43:41,865 Yes. 978 00:43:41,904 --> 00:43:45,535 Anything else besides the, the one that make Lake Mona? 979 00:43:46,584 --> 00:43:48,115 Um, no, not at the moment. 980 00:43:48,115 --> 00:43:50,145 Again, uh, we are always. 981 00:43:50,165 --> 00:43:56,555 You know, trying to promote the sports, even with, uh, like communicating 982 00:43:56,555 --> 00:44:03,065 with potential, um, um, you know, investors or we do render sometimes. 983 00:44:03,379 --> 00:44:06,770 Sometimes we do a lot more, uh, like for free Yeah. 984 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:08,690 Than we that we do. 985 00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:08,839 Yeah. 986 00:44:08,839 --> 00:44:11,745 'cause you love paddle, you know, it's like we love, lemme just, 987 00:44:11,845 --> 00:44:13,040 you know, work on it, you know? 988 00:44:13,819 --> 00:44:14,299 I get, I get it. 989 00:44:14,299 --> 00:44:14,839 Exactly. 990 00:44:14,839 --> 00:44:17,240 And, and, and, and we show things. 991 00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:21,259 No, but we try to see if another club, they're interested. 992 00:44:21,259 --> 00:44:26,000 But sometime the building department put some like, oh, it's outside. 993 00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:30,379 We were close to put one in a huge, uh, uh, cloud. 994 00:44:30,620 --> 00:44:30,650 Okay. 995 00:44:30,859 --> 00:44:31,759 And they say no, but. 996 00:44:32,180 --> 00:44:37,259 This club is only for indoor, um, you cannot put anything outside 997 00:44:37,259 --> 00:44:40,580 because of the neighbor and they don't know the sport yet. 998 00:44:40,830 --> 00:44:45,350 They don't know if it's going to be very loud, you know, loud, like, pickable. 999 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,016 So, that's one of the difficulties. 1000 00:44:47,016 --> 00:44:49,200 It's the South Americans, it's going to be very loud. 1001 00:44:50,649 --> 00:44:55,200 One of the difficulties we have is because it's a new sport, it's not 1002 00:44:55,250 --> 00:45:01,524 either, you know, our building codes, Are written for like either a tennis 1003 00:45:01,555 --> 00:45:07,314 facility, like a, like a tennis court, for example, or Padel is something new. 1004 00:45:07,345 --> 00:45:13,105 So for many approvals, you have to refer for tennis, but it's not exactly tennis. 1005 00:45:13,154 --> 00:45:13,984 You're right, right, right. 1006 00:45:13,984 --> 00:45:15,884 Like, for example, parking spots. 1007 00:45:16,285 --> 00:45:20,089 Let's say, oh, because of each parking spot for tennis is different. 1008 00:45:21,299 --> 00:45:22,379 Well, this is Padel. 1009 00:45:22,479 --> 00:45:23,430 It's kind of different. 1010 00:45:23,430 --> 00:45:24,189 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1011 00:45:25,049 --> 00:45:28,939 So is it back and forth with the building department trying to, okay, 1012 00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:33,819 give me another sample of another club similar, what they approve 1013 00:45:33,870 --> 00:45:35,799 and we have to find another sample. 1014 00:45:35,799 --> 00:45:37,499 Do you know what works, what works good? 1015 00:45:37,499 --> 00:45:37,879 No. 1016 00:45:37,895 --> 00:45:40,105 And then they'll come and you invite them and take them to play paddle. 1017 00:45:40,105 --> 00:45:41,724 You understand? 1018 00:45:41,725 --> 00:45:42,025 Everything gets. 1019 00:45:42,134 --> 00:45:42,475 No problem. 1020 00:45:42,485 --> 00:45:42,775 No problem. 1021 00:45:42,775 --> 00:45:44,124 No problem. 1022 00:45:44,125 --> 00:45:44,435 Yes. 1023 00:45:44,455 --> 00:45:45,375 That's a good one. 1024 00:45:46,005 --> 00:45:46,175 Right? 1025 00:45:46,175 --> 00:45:47,422 That's a good one. 1026 00:45:47,422 --> 00:45:49,965 Because the only way to know is if you actually go and play. 1027 00:45:49,965 --> 00:45:51,324 That's the only really way to know. 1028 00:45:51,494 --> 00:45:51,784 Yes. 1029 00:45:51,785 --> 00:45:52,174 Sure. 1030 00:45:52,175 --> 00:45:54,035 And then, you know, they're going to like it. 1031 00:45:54,045 --> 00:45:54,294 They're going to. 1032 00:45:54,295 --> 00:45:54,595 Well this is. 1033 00:45:54,645 --> 00:45:56,825 And they don't know what's the level of the sound. 1034 00:45:57,175 --> 00:45:58,165 They don't know anything. 1035 00:45:58,215 --> 00:45:58,415 Right. 1036 00:45:58,415 --> 00:45:59,545 Because something absolutely new. 1037 00:45:59,545 --> 00:45:59,884 Lights. 1038 00:45:59,905 --> 00:46:01,835 You know lights during the night, you know, is it going 1039 00:46:01,835 --> 00:46:04,845 to disturb your neighbors if you're close to residential area. 1040 00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:05,665 Light is an issue. 1041 00:46:05,945 --> 00:46:06,175 Yes. 1042 00:46:06,460 --> 00:46:07,920 Yeah, so no, I get it. 1043 00:46:07,950 --> 00:46:08,710 I got it. 1044 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:09,730 Okay. 1045 00:46:09,730 --> 00:46:14,350 So can you tell our audience that may be thinking of opening up a club? 1046 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,690 What services you can provide for them? 1047 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,160 Well, we provide them many times in the way as we start. 1048 00:46:20,549 --> 00:46:24,009 It's the feasibility or find the right location. 1049 00:46:24,009 --> 00:46:24,649 Oh, me too. 1050 00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:25,089 Okay. 1051 00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:26,270 So how do you, how do you do that? 1052 00:46:26,270 --> 00:46:28,859 You work with brokers or just people that help you? 1053 00:46:28,989 --> 00:46:30,649 Many times we work with brokers. 1054 00:46:30,779 --> 00:46:31,169 Okay. 1055 00:46:31,350 --> 00:46:34,219 Many times the workers wants to work with us. 1056 00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:34,710 Gotcha. 1057 00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:35,009 Yeah. 1058 00:46:35,009 --> 00:46:35,160 Yeah. 1059 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,430 We had calls from real estate agents calling us saying, Hey, 1060 00:46:38,569 --> 00:46:40,499 I have this facility in here. 1061 00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:41,209 That's great. 1062 00:46:41,249 --> 00:46:42,309 Uh, with a warehouse. 1063 00:46:42,749 --> 00:46:44,979 Or it's vacant land. 1064 00:46:45,029 --> 00:46:47,580 Maybe it'll work out a nice facility here. 1065 00:46:47,589 --> 00:46:50,080 So I think that's one of the biggest things, finding a location. 1066 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,569 So that's great that you guys do that. 1067 00:46:51,569 --> 00:46:54,899 Finding a location is very important because you have to check the code 1068 00:46:54,899 --> 00:47:00,269 regulations to see if, uh, At the moment, what works the best are industrial areas. 1069 00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:01,869 Of course, that's where I see most of them, yeah? 1070 00:47:01,979 --> 00:47:04,899 Or already sports facilities, the ones that already have sports facilities. 1071 00:47:04,910 --> 00:47:08,620 But there is, there is a little bit of a, um, a secret there. 1072 00:47:08,629 --> 00:47:10,339 Is that at that industrial area. 1073 00:47:11,004 --> 00:47:16,544 You need to be able to apply for a special permit to be a sporting facility. 1074 00:47:16,575 --> 00:47:17,915 Like a variance or something, right? 1075 00:47:17,984 --> 00:47:22,495 Um, many times it's just a, um, just a quick, um, review. 1076 00:47:22,644 --> 00:47:22,884 Okay. 1077 00:47:22,884 --> 00:47:23,584 A quick hearing. 1078 00:47:23,604 --> 00:47:24,674 Nothing as big as a variance. 1079 00:47:24,675 --> 00:47:25,705 Not as big as a variance. 1080 00:47:25,854 --> 00:47:26,364 No, no. 1081 00:47:26,434 --> 00:47:26,724 Yes. 1082 00:47:26,725 --> 00:47:27,785 Yes, that's a difference. 1083 00:47:27,785 --> 00:47:31,915 Because industrial area is the closest that you can get for a sporting facility. 1084 00:47:32,015 --> 00:47:32,524 Gotcha. 1085 00:47:32,595 --> 00:47:34,085 It's very similar for the park. 1086 00:47:34,085 --> 00:47:35,968 And it's not, it's not next to any residential areas as well. 1087 00:47:35,968 --> 00:47:36,124 Correct. 1088 00:47:36,425 --> 00:47:36,815 Gotcha. 1089 00:47:36,935 --> 00:47:37,325 Yes. 1090 00:47:37,355 --> 00:47:37,595 Okay. 1091 00:47:37,595 --> 00:47:40,415 So finding a location, which is I think really big. 1092 00:47:40,415 --> 00:47:41,465 What, what else is your firm? 1093 00:47:41,555 --> 00:47:43,835 Well, the next will be coming out with the program. 1094 00:47:43,835 --> 00:47:44,195 Right? 1095 00:47:44,285 --> 00:47:44,495 Okay. 1096 00:47:44,495 --> 00:47:50,375 So the size of the facility is most of the times related to the size of the lot. 1097 00:47:50,735 --> 00:47:50,945 Okay. 1098 00:47:50,945 --> 00:47:51,185 Yep. 1099 00:47:51,545 --> 00:47:57,155 Because, uh, many times the, this, the, the amount of coverage in the 1100 00:47:57,155 --> 00:47:59,585 lot is based on the size of the lot. 1101 00:47:59,645 --> 00:47:59,885 Yep. 1102 00:48:00,005 --> 00:48:03,065 So that then it's gonna depend how many courts you can put. 1103 00:48:03,245 --> 00:48:03,455 Yep. 1104 00:48:03,515 --> 00:48:03,875 Right? 1105 00:48:03,935 --> 00:48:04,055 Yep. 1106 00:48:04,055 --> 00:48:05,105 You can put four cords. 1107 00:48:05,814 --> 00:48:09,095 We recommend to build a minimum of four courts. 1108 00:48:09,285 --> 00:48:10,174 Minimum, yes. 1109 00:48:10,205 --> 00:48:10,745 Many times. 1110 00:48:10,745 --> 00:48:15,134 I know a lot of investors would like at least six to eight possible. 1111 00:48:15,464 --> 00:48:17,095 Yes, sure, but minimum four. 1112 00:48:17,145 --> 00:48:17,834 Minimum four, sure. 1113 00:48:18,104 --> 00:48:25,245 Yes, four or five to do tournaments and of course to return on the investment. 1114 00:48:25,975 --> 00:48:30,934 If you do like two courts, you know, maybe you have employees, you 1115 00:48:30,935 --> 00:48:34,424 have a big investment and you're not going to have a good return. 1116 00:48:34,424 --> 00:48:34,804 Right, right. 1117 00:48:35,490 --> 00:48:41,100 So, um, and so then, so because of these, we determine the size of the club 1118 00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:43,480 and we help with the

00:50:03,564 Right, right. 1145 00:50:03,884 --> 00:50:06,854 And then you create the drawings, right, and design it, and then you work with it. 1146 00:50:06,854 --> 00:50:10,914 Do the renderings, even we can do videos, we have all the teams. 1147 00:50:11,134 --> 00:50:15,384 So, our, our architectural team is in Argentina. 1148 00:50:15,504 --> 00:50:15,764 Okay. 1149 00:50:15,764 -->

And, uh, and without drawings, the GC will come up with the budget. 1155 00:50:33,205 --> 00:50:33,944 Oh, gotcha. 1156 00:50:34,245 --> 00:50:35,085 With a quote. 1157 00:50:35,714 --> 00:50:37,594 And, um, and that's how it goes. 1158 00:50:37,924 --> 00:50:39,205 Pretty much starts, right? 1159 00:50:39,205 --> 00:50:39,475 Right. 1160 00:50:39,484 --> 00:50:41,305 That's where you have everything put together. 1161 00:50:41,305 --> 00:50:44,785 Part of your plan is already there, which is the big part right there before you 1162 00:50:44,785 --> 00:50:47,285 get seed money or funding or whatever. 1163 00:50:47,285 --> 00:50:50,754 Yeah, funding is, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's, the, the art drawings are very 1164 00:50:50,754 --> 00:50:54,804 important for the founding part too, because many times the banks wants to 1165 00:50:54,804 --> 00:50:57,475 see what is going to be built, right? 1166 00:50:58,205 --> 00:51:01,535 And, uh, and how that funding is going to get these boards, because, 1167 00:51:01,575 --> 00:51:06,490 uh, you have to give them like a schedule of, uh, Yeah, for the 1168 00:51:06,490 --> 00:51:08,769 contractors and stuff, stuff like that. 1169 00:51:08,789 --> 00:51:11,930 Wow, so you're from the beginning almost all the way to the end. 1170 00:51:11,999 --> 00:51:12,859 That's great. 1171 00:51:12,899 --> 00:51:13,849 That's, I mean, that's amazing. 1172 00:51:13,850 --> 00:51:15,089 And we can go and play too. 1173 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:15,930 Of course. 1174 00:51:16,399 --> 00:51:18,939 That you put in there, some type of, uh, restriction. 1175 00:51:18,939 --> 00:51:19,919 Play for free forever. 1176 00:51:22,399 --> 00:51:22,939 I would. 1177 00:51:23,689 --> 00:51:25,279 That's what your friends in Argentina were saying. 1178 00:51:25,709 --> 00:51:28,295 Are you going to play for free for the rest of your life? 1179 00:51:28,295 --> 00:51:32,276 Oh, now you're going to play for free because, you know, it's very 1180 00:51:32,276 --> 00:51:33,359 expensive here and everywhere. 1181 00:51:33,549 --> 00:51:35,569 Oh, here, yeah, it's an expensive sport. 1182 00:51:35,620 --> 00:51:36,899 In Argentina, too. 1183 00:51:37,749 --> 00:51:40,429 So how much is it for an hour and a half in Argentina, in dollars, 1184 00:51:40,429 --> 00:51:41,539 if you think of in dollars? 1185 00:51:42,049 --> 00:51:43,230 In dollars, I think? 1186 00:51:43,259 --> 00:51:45,011 It's not as expensive as here. 1187 00:51:45,011 --> 00:51:47,419 But I think it's Is it like 10 or 12? 1188 00:51:47,419 --> 00:51:49,589 No, 15, I would say. 1189 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:49,890 15, wow. 1190 00:51:49,919 --> 00:51:53,609 But the problem is, it's very expensive to build the court. 1191 00:51:53,990 --> 00:51:57,049 There, down there Way more expensive than here In proportion. 1192 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,939 Oh, in these new, new, new type of courts? 1193 00:51:59,419 --> 00:51:59,599 Yes. 1194 00:51:59,604 --> 00:52:00,274 They expensive there. 1195 00:52:00,274 --> 00:52:03,529 They, they don't, they don't, uh, um, produce them there or they 1196 00:52:03,529 --> 00:52:06,349 still bring 'em by some, some clubs. 1197 00:52:06,919 --> 00:52:11,990 They have them build like a, like by somebody who is, 1198 00:52:12,140 --> 00:52:13,399 doesn't build for their courts. 1199 00:52:13,399 --> 00:52:14,299 Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. 1200 00:52:14,329 --> 00:52:19,759 Uh, so it depends, but it's more expensive than here in proportion here. 1201 00:52:19,759 --> 00:52:22,459 I mean here you see it anywhere from 30. 1202 00:52:23,649 --> 00:52:24,419 32. 1203 00:52:25,339 --> 00:52:28,609 That's probably the cheapest I've seen to like, you know, 60, 70, 80, 1204 00:52:28,809 --> 00:52:32,759 even more, you know, depending on location, of course, you know, and 1205 00:52:32,979 --> 00:52:35,160 so, um, but either way, I don't care. 1206 00:52:35,339 --> 00:52:35,809 I'll play. 1207 00:52:35,810 -->
