1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,500 I've talked a lot about Smash Champs, the badminton and LAN eSports gaming facility that's been under construction for over a year, 2 00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,500 and I've given you guys some glimpses of the progress. 3 00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:22,000 But now that we're about to have our grand opening tournament, maybe it's time to finally let you, citizens of the internet, see what awaits inside. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,500 But what is it? When will our first public gaming event be, and why is our sponsor Narwhal trying to open the door? 5 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,500 Come on, little fella. I'll show you around. With some help from my very favoriteest person in the entire world. Hi. 6 00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:42,000 Yvonne has given so many hours to my dream project that I wouldn't dare to give this tour without her. 7 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,500 Also, she knows a lot more about it than I do in a lot of cases. Welcome to the Pro Shop. 8 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:51,500 Truthfully, I wasn't expecting this to be as big of a deal for the business as it was. 9 00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,500 Most centers just, they have a few wares for sale. People walk past them. 10 00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:02,500 It's usually a little tiny spot too, whereas we have this pretty big, expansive spot here, but it's, I feel like it's helped the brand overall. 11 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:09,500 It feels like a premium space. Having the big space makes it feel really welcoming and easy to shop, which I think has helped our sales. 12 00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:15,500 But the reason it's big is not because we intended to do that, it's because we had no idea what else to do with the space. 13 00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:23,500 Originally, when we started Smash Champs, it was only supposed to be one unit, so this whole space here was supposed to be check-in, concession, 14 00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,500 Pro Shop. Pro Shop all together. And bathrooms. 15 00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:31,500 Yep, and bathrooms. Yeah, I forgot about that too. And now it's just Pro Shop and check-in. 16 00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:39,500 We offer shoe rentals and racket rentals. Or, if like most people, you prefer to play with your own sweaty racket, we also offer restringing services. 17 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:44,500 A lot of people don't actually realize that the strings on your racket are meant to be replaced. 18 00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:53,500 How often are you supposed to replace the strings? Well, that really depends. There's two things that wear them out. Time and also use. 19 00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,500 So if I'm playing a few times a week with one racket, I might replace my strings after a month. 20 00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,500 Or, if they're just sitting on there over time, I'd say after about three to six months they've got to go. 21 00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:07,500 Or the other big one is if you make mistakes like I do and you miss hit, you can break your strings. 22 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,500 Especially when they're tighter. How often do you blame your strings for poor games? 23 00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,500 I wouldn't. You would never? No. 24 00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,500 That is not true. What? 25 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:22,500 I would. Of course, one thing we haven't really shown much of yet is the technology behind our center. 26 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,500 Every one of our members gets one of these wristbands and every time they come in, 27 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,500 they simply scan to check in for their session. 28 00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,500 And after a slight delay. 29 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,500 Hey! They're checked in. 30 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:46,500 Also, of course, we're using Ubiquiti, NVRs, and security cameras so that we can keep a close eye on 31 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,500 what all is going on both inside the center and outside the center. 32 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:56,500 We have three different colors of wristbands so that our staff can quickly verify that you're supposed to be where you are. 33 00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:01,500 And we have integration between club automation, the software that we use to manage our members, 34 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:06,500 and Ubiquiti so that with door access control on every single door in the facility, 35 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,500 we can not only say, okay, hey, premium members, you're allowed in these areas, 36 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:14,500 you're allowed 24-7 access, but we can actually change that. 37 00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,500 So for instance, when we're running a LAN gaming event on the one side, 38 00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,500 badminton people are temporarily not going to have access to it. 39 00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:25,500 This is Jake one. Coming back out here for a second, is this pricing right? 40 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,500 That's $15 and that's $72. $80. 41 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:34,500 There has been massive inflation in the price of badminton shuttle cocks over the last five 42 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:41,500 realistically about 10 years. And at $80 for a tube with just 12 shuttles inside, 43 00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,500 it's about $6 per shuttle. 44 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:49,500 And at a high level, it is pretty typical for a group of doubles players to go through 45 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:53,500 one and a half to two and a half of these per 21 point game. 46 00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:58,500 A traditional shuttle cock is made out of cork with a leather or synthetic leather cover 47 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:03,500 and then precision cut and fitted goose feather. 48 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,500 Real goose feather. Tradition is nice, but most modern shuttles, 49 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,500 especially anything below the absolute top of the line is going to be made with duck feather. 50 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:19,500 The advantages of these materials are that they fly just like a leather baseball is going to fly 51 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:26,500 a little different from a not leather baseball or football. They fly as an elite player would expect them to. 52 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,500 Is there not high end synthetic materials? 53 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:35,500 They're coming. But in the meantime, the best we have for synthetic materials is at the high end, 54 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:40,500 still a cork cap, but with just nylon skirt. 55 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,500 I mean, when you look at them, you can really appreciate the craftsmanship of it. 56 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:50,500 So somebody weaves all of these threads in here and applies glue and fits all the feathers 57 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,500 and then puts it on a tester to make sure that it runs at the right speed. 58 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,500 This string is a tied by hand. 59 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,500 David, do you recognize this claw machine? Is that the one we had at LTX? 60 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,500 Yeah. Boom. 61 00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:08,500 Let's go! 10% off. 62 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,500 Anyone purchase up to $100. That's pretty good. 63 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:14,500 I'll be holding on to that. All right, let's head out to the courts. 64 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:20,500 Of course, we can't get there without passing through what I like to call the world's most expensive hallway. 65 00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,500 I actually forget the details of why this was so difficult to do. 66 00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:31,500 Do you remember? Yes, I do. So there's an upper floor here and all of that upper floor was supported by beams that went through here. 67 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:34,500 And of course, the beam went right through this spot right here. 68 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:41,500 So in order to move that beam, we had to put in supporting beams and like strengthen one on that side or something like that. 69 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:46,500 So anyway, it cost a butt ton of money to do all of that because they had to core all the concrete as well to do it. 70 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:52,500 But the alternative was to have this hallway go like out into the court area and then back. 71 00:05:52,500 --> 00:06:00,500 Because from a business standpoint, this hallway is probably going to pay for itself in the long term because exit through the gift shop. 72 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,500 Oh, this is our Q&A board. There's actually some questions that need answering. 73 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:09,500 Mr. Linus, what does this say? 74 00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,500 I'll let you guys leave a comment with what you think this says. 75 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,500 And once we've got that sorted out, we'll get a reply for them. 76 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:18,500 Our empty concession area. 77 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:28,500 We learned after the fact that if we want to do so much as microwave a hot pocket and hand it to you or wrap a Costco muffin in plastic wrap and make that available, 78 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,500 we need not one, but two sinks. 79 00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:37,500 But that's a project for another time once we have some more money we feel like spending on it. 80 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:43,500 Oh, not actually a problem because our sponsor Narwhal is at the ready. 81 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:49,500 Check this out. The Narwhal flow has a self-cleaning mopping system with edge reach extension. 82 00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:55,500 This allows it to extend into edges and not just push dirt into the corners, which is pretty neat. 83 00:06:55,500 --> 00:07:02,500 And for bigger messes, the Narwhal keeps the mopping water warm, which helps to dissolve any stubborn stains. 84 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:08,500 And because it uses dual water tanks, one to provide fresh water and the other to collect dirty water, 85 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:17,500 the mop stays cleaner for longer, preventing dirt from spreading and preventing you from having to manually clean it nearly as often. 86 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:25,500 Thanks, buddy. The last thing in here is we've got a nice little counter where you can watch your kids lesson, charge your phone, do whatever it is you need to do. 87 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,500 And that brings us out to the courts. On the surface, there's not really much to it. 88 00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:36,500 Like any other sports facility, you want a nice open space, a flat, unobstructed floor, but the devil's in the details. 89 00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:39,500 You walk past one of the first details. 90 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:45,500 Yes, I did. So right when you come into the badminton court, you'll notice that all of these benches are perfect height for changing your shoes. 91 00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:50,500 And all of the benches behind the courts are the perfect height to actually properly sit and observe. 92 00:07:50,500 --> 00:08:02,500 And store your bag underneath. Yeah. The other nice thing about the observation benches is we've put USB charging and regular power outlets next to all of them on both the badminton only side and the badminton slash gaming side of the facility. 93 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:06,500 On half of them. Sorry, yeah. Because on this side there isn't, but on this side there is. 94 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:15,500 So originally we were actually going to have all the benches only on one side because we were thinking in the future we might put bleachers or something like that on this side if we're hosting national tournaments or provincial tournaments. 95 00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,500 I don't think I was ever hoping to have enough bleachers for like a national level tournament. 96 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:32,500 But yeah, maybe provincial level. One option if we did want to host a high level tournament that requires a lot of seating is to actually close off some of the courts and then only use the center courts and put like stadium style seating here. 97 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:40,500 But I'd be really worried about the impact that that would have on both the vinyl top as well as the subfloor. 98 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:46,500 So this is a multi-layer sport floor that starts with the concrete underneath. 99 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,500 Then you have a vapor barrier. Then you have these rubber squishy. 100 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:53,500 They call them pucks. Yeah, they call them pucks. They don't really look like pucks. 101 00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:59,500 Yeah, they have like little teeth and then a flat surface on top and they just sit on top of the floor to give it a little bit of extra bounce. 102 00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:07,500 Then you've got a layer of plywood. Then another layer of plywood running the other way so that you've never got anywhere where the seams perfectly overlap. 103 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:16,500 Then you've got a cushion layer and then finally a wear layer on top that gives you the grip that you need to move around confidently on the court. 104 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:23,500 There was a whole fiasco where our first sport floors were manufacturing defect, you know, whatever. 105 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,500 I want to give credit to caliber flooring systems. 106 00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,500 They stood by their product. They replaced it. 107 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,500 They got everything installed for us and they did what very few contractors do. 108 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,500 And even though it did cost them quite a bit in replacing everything, they got us sorted out. 109 00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:47,500 So definitely shout out them. We switched over to Victor, not necessarily because we thought the quality was better than caliber's, you know, not defective product that we initially approved. 110 00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:52,500 But rather it was just because their BWF certified and the timeline was better. 111 00:09:52,500 --> 00:10:00,500 It was the biggest issue. We were able to kind of move heaven and earth in order to get them to us really fast, which was important because we were already supposed to be open. 112 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:03,500 Water fountain. Tilled filtered water. 113 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:13,500 It actually doesn't cost that much. So if you're ever in a sports facility that doesn't have it, you know, write them a polite little note and say you'd love to have something like this installed 114 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:18,500 because man is it ever a difference maker and it saves so many plastic bottles. 115 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,500 These were a fun one. The intention behind them was twofold. 116 00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:28,500 One was safety in the event that anybody comes kind of like running off a court or, you know, trips and face plants into a wall. 117 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,500 I wanted a little bit of cushioning. Can't hurt. 118 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:35,500 I don't think it was going to be likely, though, if you look at how much space we have behind the courts. 119 00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:41,500 I mean, you never know. Some of the lessons and stuff, they'll have the kids doing laps around the facility and you could easily go flying into a corner. 120 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,500 But the bigger concern was actually more selfish. 121 00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:51,500 I get really sweaty when I play and two of the walls in our facility that are going to have benches along them are concrete. 122 00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:57,500 Meaning that if I were to be all wet and lean against them, I'd be so cold and uncomfortable. 123 00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,500 So I wanted a wall cushion behind the benches. 124 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:04,500 For me, what mattered more was the acoustic treatments that's inside here. 125 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:10,500 So there was a lot of reverb or echo in the place and these help cut that down a ton. 126 00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:13,500 In addition to the spray that we put in the ceiling. 127 00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:23,500 The HVAC guys looked at me like I was from the moon when I explained that I wanted to be able to heat and cool the facility without causing any air currents. 128 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:29,500 They were like, okay, well, that's how that works. 129 00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:39,500 And I was like, okay, but hear me out. Okay, what if we had some kind of extremely low flow system and they came back to me and they were like duct socks. 130 00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:47,500 Duck socks are perforated fabric so that the air that's coming down can be diffused out very slowly without causing any current that's going around. 131 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:55,500 And one of the big benefits is especially when you're cooling, if you have a big blower that's up at the top of the unit, then it's blowing that cold air out, 132 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:59,500 which is heavier than the warm air in the facility and it will fall. 133 00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:08,500 And when something goes down, something else must come up, which will create a circular airflow by bringing the cold air all the way down to court level. 134 00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:12,500 We can prevent that. And well, that was the theory and in practice it has actually worked out. 135 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:18,500 It's worked out great. Like really well. You'll see a lot of sweaty badminton players come and just stand here because you can feel the air. 136 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:30,500 It's pretty nice. And a big part of keeping the airflow so low was having a ton of them so you can actually see that they're positioned in between every court and then over on the other side, 137 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,500 they're either between the courts or they're above the doors. 138 00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:37,500 That seems like a good opportunity to talk about the wall color. Wait, wait, you just walked by the power. 139 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,500 I can't go anywhere in this place without there being something interesting. 140 00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:52,500 In between every court, we pre-run two CAT 6A network connections that are home run to our server room upstairs as well as a total of four 120 volt outlets. 141 00:12:52,500 --> 00:13:04,500 We don't know exactly what we'll do with these, but what I kind of have in mind in the future is that each court court side could have like a TV and, you know, God willing. 142 00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:12,500 Jensen willing. We could have some kind of machine vision system that will automatically score keep or something like that. 143 00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:16,500 But that's a tomorrow problem. 144 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:21,500 It's just that if we wanted to try to do this after the fact, it was going to be impossible. 145 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:24,500 Cost of fortune if it was possible at all. 146 00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,500 Which brings us finally then to wall color. 147 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:32,500 Jay Kwan, who you guys met earlier, made 10 trips to the paint store. 148 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:37,500 Oh, yeah. And then in addition to that, I think we made another four or five trips to the paint store. 149 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:41,500 We tried every stock color. We had the mixing custom colors. 150 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,500 We were here literally at midnight with all of these patches. 151 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:47,500 Midnight, please. Okay, whatever. Two in the morning. 152 00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:53,500 Holding birds in front of each color patch trying to figure out, is this the best color? 153 00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:59,500 We were trying to strike a balance between, you know, being able to see the birdie really well, but not it being an eyesore in here. 154 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:08,500 Oh, this is cool. In between all the courts, some cases above the doors, some cases not above doors, is more power and more networking. 155 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,500 And again, praise be to Jensen Huang. 156 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:19,500 We are hoping at some point to have cameras back here that will allow us to do the aforementioned automated scorekeeping or whatever the case may be. 157 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:24,500 In the meantime, we've partnered with PlaySight. They've got these RFID scanners that you can put courtside. 158 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:33,500 We've actually got one that we're trialing right now, but the idea would be to equip every court with them, and then players can install their app, scan the RFID, 159 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,500 and then they can say, hey, can I download the video of my session? 160 00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:42,500 So we're working with Zcam to send over some of their cameras, and we're going to get those installed hopefully... 161 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:46,500 Before the tournament coming up, hopefully. All of this might happen sooner than you'd think, though. 162 00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:52,500 This is a little project that's being worked on by just one guy and runs off of his laptop that he uses for training. 163 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:57,500 So who knows what the future holds. All the really cool stuff for you guys, though, is probably on this side. 164 00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:04,500 Spaced for tables of gamers to go all the way down this entire unit. 165 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:14,500 Are these California standard power connectors that are 250 volt, 50 amp, allowing each of these to do about 14,000 watts. 166 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:23,500 So pretty much an entire row of computers. Alongside CAT 6A networking, which would be at 10 gig, and fiber optic networking that we could run at, 167 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:27,500 I believe what we are set up for up there is 25 gig. 168 00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:37,500 That would be for each one of our rows of computers for our whale land gaming events, which we finally got our temporary use permit from the city for, 169 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:44,500 and I am so excited to, maybe not announce, I guess we'll have announced it by the time this comes out, but the first one's September 28th. 170 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:50,500 I don't remember the exact date. I just know that I still need the fire department to get in here to approve the increased occupancy. 171 00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:54,500 So that's what I'm working on. But it should be done in time. They just called me today. 172 00:15:54,500 --> 00:16:01,500 Okay. Getting this done was extremely difficult, and I have to take a significant amount of the blame for that. 173 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:10,500 See, the city doesn't love it when business owners announce what they're going to be using their building for without getting a permit for it. 174 00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:17,500 Anyway, I think I ruffled some feathers the wrong way. We ultimately got it sorted out after a long and painstaking process. 175 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,500 I want to shout out Chase, Yvonne, Sean, Colton. 176 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:34,500 Jim and Jake won helped a lot. Ivan, of all people, he actually came to the city council reading with us to be like a non-employee and talk on behalf of what gaming means to him and community engagement. 177 00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:42,500 And credit to some people at the city, the people that were a little higher up and who were trying to increase the amount of things to do in the city really did help us out as well. 178 00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:49,500 Yeah, the general manager, the business relationship manager, and the mayor were all instrumental in helping us get this over the line. 179 00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:52,500 So I'm so excited to see you guys there. 180 00:16:52,500 --> 00:17:03,500 And we're very happy to be here just because it's so hard to find a building that has both enough parking and a high enough ceiling to accommodate a high level of badminton play. 181 00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:10,500 Let's say, for example, I was playing an attacking shot towards my opponent over here and in defense, they wanted to... 182 00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,500 Well, okay, I mis-hit it, but one sec. Sorry, little buddy. 183 00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:23,500 And in defense, they wanted to hit it up really, really high so that it was hard for me to retrieve it or I had to move all the way to the back. 184 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,500 This ceiling height allows us to do that. 185 00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:37,500 Another situation where this can come up is if your opponent plays a really tight shot to the net, it allows you to play it to the back without hitting the net itself. 186 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:45,500 If you have a low ceiling, the only way to get it to the back is at an angle, but with a high ceiling, you can go up quite a lot steeper. 187 00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:51,500 At the back is the place we don't really love showing people because it's kind of where our messes go to die. 188 00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:55,500 There's leftover stuff from the little test land that we did. 189 00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:59,500 There's our sign for taking pictures, projector screen. 190 00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:03,500 Where's the rest of the sufferware lens? Ooh, I'm glad you asked. 191 00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:12,500 That's where this comes in. Here's our cable whips that are pre-cut and pre-bound to be exactly the right length to go from our switches at the end of the table to each gaming station. 192 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:16,500 Shout out infinite cables, by the way. Their cables truly are infinite. 193 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:19,500 There's also some pretty fun archaeological items here. 194 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:25,500 Got a bunch of heat guns from back when we had like a tube bending station at LTX once upon a time. 195 00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:31,500 Casual orca plushies. I found our original sample of what the flooring construction is. 196 00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:39,500 So there's the rubber pucks. Oh. It's not a ton, but you'll feel it if you kind of jump on it. 197 00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:42,500 Oh yeah, that's way more give than just wood would be. 198 00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:46,500 Yeah, or even just putting like a vinyl sport floor over concrete. 199 00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:50,500 Obviously, we're not just going to have everything piled under the mezzanine forever. 200 00:18:50,500 --> 00:19:00,500 It was actually moved under there so that we could acoustically treat this space because some parts of it are going to be set up as like a crafting space. 201 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:04,500 I don't know, like running Etsy shop. What is it that you do these days? 202 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:09,500 Oh man, or either that or we're going to stream or do a craft channel or something like that. 203 00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:14,500 We're figuring it all out right now, but the rest of the space here is going to be all storage. 204 00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:22,500 So on this side is going to be all of LTX stuff. So you can see all of the chairs that they have set up and there's going to be hundreds of seats worth of tables. 205 00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:26,500 Right. Along with all of the gear that we have over there that we don't get rid of. 206 00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:31,500 And then on this side, we're going to have a pallet racking because of all of. 207 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:39,500 So I think Chase told me he wanted 10 pallets for LTX stuff and then smash champs needs 30 right now because of the container of birds that are coming. 208 00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:44,500 The supply chain for badminton equipment has not been the most amazing from our experience so far. 209 00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:53,500 It's very start and stop. So we need to take on a lot more inventory than we originally anticipated because we can't just draw in small amounts from a local distributor. 210 00:19:53,500 --> 00:20:00,500 One of the things that won't be here in the future, although they're doing such a great job that you might actually want to keep them around, 211 00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:15,500 is our army of narwhals that are showing off their dual camera with 10 tops of NPU processing setup that allows them to respond to obstacles that are in front of them much more agilely and more quickly than previous solutions. 212 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:18,500 Very cool, right? That one just went around the cup. That was impressive. 213 00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:21,500 I know, right? Will it clean up all of my sawdust over there? 214 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,500 Yes, yes it will. Welcome to the members lounge. 215 00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:29,500 In theory, this is for our premium members to hang around after their matches. 216 00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:34,500 I don't know, maybe watch some badminton games on the 98 inch TV. 217 00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:43,500 In practice, what it is, is a place for Linus to put all of the cool toys that he doesn't have room for in his house, like an air hockey table. 218 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,500 This is the most musical sounding air hockey table I've ever heard. 219 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,500 I know. When it bounces off it, it's like a friggin' wind chime or something. 220 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,500 It's so cool. I've also got a pool table. 221 00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:59,500 And then, because people weren't really using it in the LMG staff lounge, I moved the superchecks game over here. 222 00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:00,500 And... 223 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:08,500 We had some software configuration issues with the DIY arcade cabinet. 224 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:16,500 So, we moved the buy one over here. This was another Linus has always wanted one and doesn't have room for it at home thing. 225 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,500 I think you have room, I think Vibandis doesn't want it in the house. 226 00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,500 I lost already. 227 00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:27,500 Again. It's not because I'm good at it that I want one. 228 00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,500 It's because I need practice that I want one. 229 00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,500 We even have this ice-me-surfer-surfer for the superchecks. 230 00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,500 Uh, okay, I don't think that actually works, does it? 231 00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:38,500 Uh, no, it's made out of cardboard. 232 00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,500 But not well-flow. We'll go look at the gym in a minute. 233 00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:48,500 Sorry, David. First, I figure you guys might want to check out the server room complete with Ubiquiti RGB. 234 00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:54,500 Let's go! Legitimately useful because it can tell you the status, like what that port is set to. 235 00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:59,500 Uh, what else do we have in here? Well, we've got our battery backup, courtesy of Eaton, 236 00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:03,500 as well as just a kind of run-of-the-mill desktop computer that's running that play site stuff 237 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:08,500 that we're still in the testing phases of. We don't know if we're going to settle on that, but that's what we're using for now. 238 00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:11,500 We've also got our NVRs that are handling all of the security 239 00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,500 and the oodles and oodles of fiber, 240 00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,500 as well as ample cooling for both the courtside LAN events, 241 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:22,500 as well as any future machine vision processing that we wanted to bring on-premises. 242 00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,500 Corner office for our general manager. 243 00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:29,500 Oh, hey, Jimmy, he's in here. Uh, we're doing a tour. 244 00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,500 Yeah, we decided the tour you did was... Actually, it was really good. 245 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:37,500 You can see it on Floatplane. This is not the first tour of Smash Chance we've done. 246 00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:42,500 It's just the first we sponsored by Narwhal. Wait a second, Jim, do you have your own fridge in your office? 247 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,500 No, it was the one downstairs I bought, and then we didn't eat up downstairs, so I bought up here, right? 248 00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:50,500 It's just energy drinks now. What? Why did you...? Is that alcohol? 249 00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:53,500 Energy drinks. Oh, man, okay, we'll talk about it later. 250 00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:56,500 Which brings us to our final stop, the gym. 251 00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:02,500 It was designed in collaboration with Mr. Luke Lafreniere of Floatplane, 252 00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:07,500 and his goal was to have it, you know, to address the cardio people, 253 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:14,500 of whom he is not one, but also make sure that we had at least two options, 254 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:19,500 even if one of them is just free weights, for pretty much every movement that you would want to do for badminton. 255 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:23,500 Cool. There were a few things that Luke wanted that we didn't manage to put in, 256 00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:28,500 like he wanted a grass strip, and I think that was the main one. 257 00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:32,500 But in general, we did pretty much everything he asked, 258 00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:35,500 and when Badminton Insight came out here, they rated it a 9 out of 10. 259 00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:40,500 This is pretty sweet. As long as it doesn't get too busy, it's like, I would love to work out here. 260 00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:44,500 Well, that's why we don't allow anyone who's not a premium member to work out. 261 00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,500 Although, there is one exception. 262 00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:56,500 Even though we have enough parking, according to the city bylaws and zoning for the amount of space that we have for recreational use, 263 00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:01,500 we don't. But we knew that, so we worked out a deal with our neighbors. 264 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:06,500 They don't need most of their parking. They have like half a dozen people working in their units, and they're these size. 265 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:10,500 So there's like another 45 parking stalls that are not being used, 266 00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:13,500 especially in the evening when they're not even in office. 267 00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:20,500 So we made a deal. We said, hey, I offer free gym membership for you and your crew. 268 00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:24,500 I receive access to your parking stalls without you guys calling a tow truck. 269 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,500 That's pretty great. I'm grateful to our sponsor. 270 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:32,500 Narwhal, one of which I think I'm going to have to be taking home for cleaning up kitty litter. 271 00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:37,500 See, we've got our kitty litter robot thing in the bathroom that is closest to our pool, 272 00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,500 and wet feet and kitty litter is a pretty bad time. 273 00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:45,500 And my kids, at best, I can convince them to vacuum that room like once a week. 274 00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:50,500 If I had a little robot to do it, that would actually be a perfect application for something like a narwhal. 275 00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:55,500 Their narwhal flow has carpet-focused technology that automatically lowers the brush cover on carpet, 276 00:24:55,500 --> 00:25:01,500 creating a high-pressure airflow zone with 22,000 pascals of pressure for deeper carpet cleaning, 277 00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:06,500 and has a dual-action edge brush that adapts near corners for a deeper reach, 278 00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:13,500 while the dynamic zero-targeting side brushes actively release trapped hair and direct it to the air intake for easy cleanup. 279 00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:16,500 You can check out the narwhal flow at the link in the video description. 280 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:24,500 Thanks again to Narwhal for sponsoring this video. If you guys like tours like this, why don't you check out the first video we did on this space, 281 00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,500 where it was a completely empty concrete box. 282 00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:32,500 And, man, I mean, yeah, it's pretty amazing the difference.
