You know him, you love him. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:54.600 Hall of Fame finalist Tony Boselli is finally here. Hi Tony. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:02.240 I actually didn't building Okay, figured out I've been traveling 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:10.560 inside to give him a man hug. And he's welcome in. Yeah, welcome, Welcome, Welcome. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.320 Let's start off with the biggest us of the week, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.720 and it's the Mark Lamping comments from yesterday, and actually 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.200 started earlier in the week. He met Monday evening with 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.840 the editorial award for the Florida Times Union. Some of 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.639 those comments came out on Tuesday in the paper and 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.720 on Jacksonville dot com. Then on Wednesday yesterday on the 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.600 Frank Frangie So Mark Lamping went on the show with 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.080 Frank and the rest of the crew to explain some 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.960 of those comments a little bit further, clarifying his comment 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.680 on winning games has been suggested regarding the importance replaced 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.520 on winning is totally inconsistent with not only what I 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.800 expressed on Monday, uh, but as you know, what I 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:59.880 have said repeatedly on these airways and elsewhere, including annually 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.480 at our state of the franchise, and that is you know, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.320 not only is winning the number one most important thing, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.200 but it's also number two, number three, number four, and 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.840 number five the way it was quoted in the story. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.720 At least on Tuesday, A lot of the fans on 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.240 social media and everybody out there kind of took it 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.440 and ran with that. He wanted to clarify a little 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.600 bit more. Not just winning is important, um, but there 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.640 are other things to this market that have to be 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.040 done as well, not just winning games. But winning is 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.320 is one one through five. You heard it. But I mean, 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.080 I I didn't have the reaction I think that a 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.280 lot of people might have had, because I mean, I 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.040 know Mark, I know what his thoughts are, and and 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.200 Mark speaks from the business side of things and not 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.560 from the football side of things. So so I I 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.840 understand his perspective. Um, I also understand some of the 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.840 fans reaction if they just if they didn't know Mark, 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.160 and you just read the article and that's all you 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.440 have to go by. And I think Mark did a 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.560 great job of explaining himself on Frank Show yesterday. And 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.640 I think that, uh, I think the first part that 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.080 he explained his Look, we're talking about having an article 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.760 which probably used five or six of his quotes, that 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.560 the interview lasted the course of an hour and a 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.240 half at least, and uh and look, I've been there 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.359 before to where you might have an interview with a 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.280 with a sportswriter and then all of a sudden, the 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.560 headlines roll out the next day and it's like, wow, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.719 did did I just say that? And that only you know? 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.920 And and but that's where the focus sometimes goes. So so, look, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.560 I I appreciate Mark's commentary on Frank Show. I did 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.640 listen to that and uh and I thought he was 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:49.320 on point. And uh, so I don't know, I mean, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.040 is there any reason to get crazy about this? No? 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.240 Not for I mean I don't think so, because you 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.919 it's easy to take one comment out of context of 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.599 a larger conversation, and I slee winning is important, but 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.320 I mean, you see where the fans are frustrating because 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.400 the team's not winning, and so they're looking for anything 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.000 to fuel their rage of not have winning in the 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.279 football games, which is what fans are supposed to do. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.279 That is fine, but you can't make you can't blow 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.960 this up into a major deal to take this one 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.400 sentence out of the larger context of what has been 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320 consistently Mark Lamping and Shot or shot com first and 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:34.560 foremost in Mark Lamping's overall message about this franchise and 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.360 the goal of the franchise is to win well at 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.400 the same time. Where you can have both is that 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.960 there needs to be other ancillary things being done because 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.200 of the market size that we operate in. That's not 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.520 a secret that not that winning isn't most important. Mark 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.600 just said it. It's always been most important. And I'll 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.920 go back to Shot con spent fifty million dollars of 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.800 his guarantee of guaranteed money to bring a quarterback in here. Now, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.080 m the fact that that hasn't worked out at this 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:08.159 point is not Shot Khan's fault or Mark Lamping's fault, 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.719 but the commitment to win is there. Look at the 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.440 dollars and cents. Look at how much they've spent, Look 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.320 at the dollars. It is the fact that the people 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:25.240 that the fact that the football side of this organization 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.320 has not lived up to the standard that has been 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:34.120 set on the business side based on the dollars and 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.760 cents that the owner has invested, is not shot CON's 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.600 fault and it is not Mark Lamping's fault. And so 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.919 all Mark, how I took the comment how I've always 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.000 taken the comments like winnings first, were a football organization 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.080 and winning football games is what our fans want, is 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:52.200 what we want. But as we strive to win, we 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.360 are also going to make smart business decisions to support 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.919 this franchise to make sure it is viable in this market, which, 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.680 if I'm a fan, should get me more excited saying, yeah, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.240 I'm mad that our team stinks right now and it's 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.760 not okay, But at least I have an owner and 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.440 a president of the organization in Mark Lamping, that is 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.160 doing everything in their power to make sure this franchise 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.800 is financially viable and successful in this market, which they 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.880 are doing everything they can do. So Mark side of 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.040 things is the business side of it. So I mean 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.880 I think for people to yeah, you can't get mad 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.400 at him him the losses. I mean, you know, he 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.920 he does the business side of the Jaguars in football 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.640 is on the other side of the hallway. You know, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.280 it might it might well be. It might as well 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.600 be across the country. I mean, because his focus is 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.760 winning the business side of things, and and Mark has 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.920 done an outstanding job for this organization in so many 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.640 different ways. And I know from from our personal perspective, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.040 I mean, both Tony and I we've been a part 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.720 of this organization from the beginnings, right, We've seen this 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:06.120 organization and this franchise go through two different owners and 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.560 some of the things that they have been able to 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.720 do under the ownership of shodkn and under the leadership 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:18.160 of Mark Lamping has been nothing short of tremendous. Um. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.520 Some of the initiative that that they have done have 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.360 been I wouldn't even have thought of doing something similar 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.320 to some of the things that they've don't done. I mean, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.800 so credit to them and uh, credit to some of 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.440 their their creativity, and so you know, I think it's 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.240 exciting going forward what this organization can become from from 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.319 the business side of things with the London London initiative. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.720 And I know that the question also was asked of Mark. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.439 You know, could there be two games? And let's see 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:55.040 what Mark Lamping, Jaguarre's president, Could there be two London 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.239 games in the future. One of the keys to protecting 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.320 other stability of the of the Jaguars here in Jacksonville 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.720 required required us to do something like to home games 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.880 in London. Well, then we would have to we would 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.640 have to have to consider that. So I mean that 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:20.240 there's this answer on the two London games possibility. Again, 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.360 you have to I always look at this from the 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.320 big picture of what and you look at um the 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.480 decisions that have been made and what has happened since 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.520 Shotgun has been here. From a fans perspective, it's good 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:39.080 and bad. The stability of the organization, the amazing things 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.400 that have happened around in a lot of the game 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.440 day experience, I mean Daily's place, as far as I 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.280 mean the concerts we have here now that are unreal 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.280 lot j is gonna happen experience, A lot of stuff 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.559 has been really possible, by the way, and that's under 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.040 the leadership of Mark Lamping. Mark Lamping, that's his job 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.920 and and his job is to make sure this organization 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:05.640 is financially stable, viable and successful. That's his job, and 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.679 so he is going to figure out how to do 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.040 that job at the highest level. And it has been done, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.520 in my opinion, very well. I mean, and forget that 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.400 I work here and we're part of this organization. Just 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.880 look at the evidence. Just go watch a concert in 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.360 Daily's place that wasn't here five years ago, four years ago. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.880 Just be a part of the renovation and look at 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.960 the renovation the stadium and the scoreboard, and just look 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.640 at I mean, the stadium up grades have been fantastic, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.440 fantastic the negative if you're the fan, which I get 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.680 because at the end of the day, all that is 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.320 nice and that is all a part of when Mark 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.120 talks about, Yes, winning is first and foremost, but we 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.080 have to do more and we're gonna do more to 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.040 make sure things go well. The winning part of it 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:57.800 has not been good mhm since Shoan became owner. Now, 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.600 how you look at that is of your I tend 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.120 to look at it is the owner's job is to 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.680 give the resources and the and the tools to the 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.040 people on the football side of the building for them 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.720 to do their job. They've had all the resources, all 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.160 the resources, all the tools that they need, and so 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.160 now it's the responsibility where we have fallen well short 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.520 of expectations in my opinion, and I think the fans, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.400 most fans would say, we want more wins. I think everyone, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.640 including anyone in this organization we want more wins. Has 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.959 to be better and they have to win more football 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.960 games because at the end of the day, that's all 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.520 that matters when you're looking at the football teams, and 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.240 that's how you're ultimately judged at the end of the 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.760 day's wins and losses. So I think some of the 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.840 fans angst that was directed on social media towards Mark 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.880 was unfair but understood because they're just mad. They want 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.120 to win, because that's at the end of the day, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.280 that's what they care about more than anything, and that 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.760 hasn't happened. I think they should get mad at JP 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.280 Standard Line every bodies man. You mentioned some of the 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.920 other projects. A lot J is next on the docket. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.120 Here's what Lamping had to say about that project coming up. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.200 We're in a really good position. We're closer than we've 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.640 ever been, but we still need to finalize in agreement 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.400 with the Mayor's office. We're getting very close, we're not 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.760 there yet. The getting very close. Then following that it 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.120 needs to go to UH, the UH, the d I, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.880 A board and ultimately and most importantly, it needs to 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.240 go in front of the city Council. So there needs 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.920 to be consent along along along that entire route. But 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.320 we expect that we'll have groundbreaking the spring. We think 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.559 the construction process is going to take three and a 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.320 half to four years. We wish we could snap our 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.280 fingers and have a lot j be done tomorrow, but 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.840 we can't. So the viaduct coming off the heart bridges 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.800 would be part of a separate project, but probably come 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.560 a little before that that you'll see the beginning stages 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.560 of that. That's a city project. This would be a 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.880 separate project from that, but it all kind of combines 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.920 into one a year. So that's coming up the next 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.000 few months. It's exciting to see hopefully some shovels in 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.040 the ground pretty soon. Well hopefully the proper steps get 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.199 taken and UH and they get rocking and rolling. You know, no, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.800 I know, it's probably gonna be a little bit of 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:18.520 an inconvenience. That's usually where I park, and yeah it' 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.880 tailgating and parking. I'm very self serving there at all. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.920 I just wonder where am I gonna parking? Maybe they'll 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.720 put us with the players. I don't think so. I 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.640 doubt it, but we can ask so.

Shadrick, Tony Boselli, Jeff Loggin will 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.440 be back shortly. Fernando and Costa Roua from Pet Paradise 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.240 President and CEO with us. What's up? Are you doing good? Good? 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.080 Thanks for having me here again. Good to see you. 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.560 It's been a little bit, but glad to have you back. No, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.760 thanks for having me so. Twenty nineteen season, How did 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.840 it go for Pet Paradise In the stadium, here, the 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.879 dog park. Everything seemed to be another hit again. It 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.840 was good so we had points for Pets with Josh Lambeau, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.080 so every home field goal he made we donated three 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.960 dollars to local charity and also three dollars for the 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.480 the person that signed up. So he hit seventeen field 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.080 goals this year. He didn't miss any at home, so 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.640 it was for home games. We donated a little over 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.840 fifty dollars to three local charities, so Florida Urgent Rescue, 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.080 Jacksonville Humans Us Idea, and First Sisters, which is Josh 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.720 Lambeau's charity where he got his dog from. Very cool. 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.439 That's uh, that's really good stuff. And he had a 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.479 great it's a great year to to pick Josh Lambeau 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.520 to do a charitable donation. I guess right. He's making 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.639 field goals all year long now he did. He had 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.520 an incredible year thirty three or thirty four, which is 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.639 really unheard of. But h and he's been a great 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.600 fan for us. And he's a big dog and pet person, 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.199 so he's been a great person to be associated with 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.240 Pet Paradise. All right, for now, I got a question 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.000 about about the dog park up there. That is what 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.080 we call is that right? Dog park? Dog park? Dog park? 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.720 I want to make sure you use the terminology right. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.800 How many how many dogs on a game day? Can 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.680 you guys hold up there, so we can hold anywhere 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.119 from twenty to thirty dogs up there. So during the 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.399 course of the season we'll have two hundred to three 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.080 hundred dogs that go through there. So if you I 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.680 don't know if you've been up there, but there's I've 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.520 seen I've been. If they're not, win is full of 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.040 dogs all I'm on the radio, so well, we need 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.160 to send you over there to do some in game 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.960 correspond Maybe interviews with the dogs might be more into 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.800 Now there's a swimming pool up there and big play 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.760 areas and palm trees, and it really really shows what 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.920 the brand is about in a smaller way. It's about 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.280 two thousand square feet. This year we put a pot 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.760 up there because sometimes it gets really hot, especially those 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.240 September games, so we have air conditioning and um we 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.439 can get them out of the weather and cool them 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440 down for a bit and circulate them around and and 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.880 so if I if I have a dog, which I don't, 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.520 but if I had a dog and wanted the dog 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.439 to come on game, is there like a process I 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:30.920 signed up because I imagine there has to be a 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.800 waiting list or a lot of people want to bring 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.920 their dogs on a Sunday afternoon. Yeah, not to leave 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.119 my home. Were over, can have a good time and 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:45.520 hang out all dogs. Yeah, I know. So you would 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.320 come by Pet Paradise first of all to do a 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:52.320 temperament test because it's not really yeah that I was 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.240 gonna say something I want. Yes, that would be smart 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.879 temperament temperament test. And and a lot of them are 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.399 existing customers, so our staff they already know them. And um, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.159 some of them come multiple times. Josh's dog has been 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.600 up there several times, Lana and um, we've got we 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.640 had a lot of dogs that come up there. But yeah, 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.640 so they come in for a temperament test. They can 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.320 sign up online is what we did this year. And 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:14.879 like you said, there are a lot of people that 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.440 want to come, but about twenty to thirty a game. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.199 Can you do a temperament test on my kids? Because 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.320 I'm not sure one for the studio. You're the studio. 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.440 Like when I said, interviewing, there'll be more interesting because 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.840 the mentality of some of us is about the same 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.640 level of the dog. Yeah, Fernando cast Rule is from 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.840 Pet Paradise. This is this whole thing started in Jacksonville. 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.240 I mean it was a one to three local Jacksonville, 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:45.199 North Florida area locations, and now there's one over a 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.320 thousand employees and nine different states, Is that right now? 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.760 That's right. We started We opened the first prototype in 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.600 two thousand four at Jacksonville Airport and today we have 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.199 thirty six in operation and another seven under construction. So 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.679 we'll finish the year this year with forty three and 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.320 then another eight to attend the next year, so we're 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.600 poised to really double in size in the next three years, 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.280 three to four years. So today we're about employees and 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.760 in nine states. About fifty percent of our businesses here 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.560 in the state of Florida, so we're in high growth 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.720 areas and it's just been a great um market force. 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:20.960 It's been I've been in it now sixteen years. It 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.679 feels that just started a few years ago. So it's 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.440 been a lot of fun and it's a lot of opportunity, 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.480 a lot of growth. We're doing new things where we 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.200 just started veterinary services, so we started primarily just boarding, 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.760 then day camp became big, and now we're in veterinary services, 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.160 so that the whole industry has really expanded a lot 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.359 and people are spending a lot more on their pets 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.719 and treating them like family members. Yeah. I had a 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.399 good friend that sends their dog and they said, I'm 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.520 sending the dog to day camp. When I said day camp, 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.240 so it's like what happens at day camp for a dog? 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.240 I mean it's because it's a pretty new it's a 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.640 newer concept, you know, that's kind of spreading all over America. Yeah, 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.480 so when people if they have a pet and they're 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.840 going to work, Um, you can't leave your dog at home, 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:04.320 or a lot of dogs you can't leave at home 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.840 all day, so they'll drop them off in the morning. 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.119 It's just like child daycare. You can drop off at 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.719 six thirty in the morning, pick up after work at seven. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.760 And we have a lot of people that come every 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.080 day for day camp. So it's a big part of 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.040 the business and allows people to have pets but also work. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.919 And now when you have uh families where the husband 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.720 and wife both work, it's a very convenient. Um, I 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.040
