It
86:18
does.
86:19
And it doesn't even just extend to the pet.
86:22
I mean, it's, you know, euthanizing the pet is terrible because of money to say that I can't do anything for this pet at all and I have to euthanize it.
86:31
Now, there are some, obviously, that has to be done and, you know, this just, you can't help everyone.
86:37
But so many of these are being done for, you know, where they could have had something done to save them.
86:46
And then the other thing that extends to is the veterinary staffing, where you have technicians, ER doctors, all of these leaving the profession.
88:38
I mean, you're in urgent care, but more people with insurance now it's just becoming a thing now we're going to ensure our pets like us uh used to be i used to look at that model and go well you know when you get all this that's the government obviously it's a big part of that as you know at medicaid medicare and things is that drives the cost up exorbitantly but we're seeing that now in in veterinary medicine as well uh that people are going well i'll get insurance for this but that's going to make the prices worse too as it did with insurance for people correct
41:37
Okay.
41:38
And so when you look at, this is a, a really challenging golf course simply by itself.
41:46
Uh, and if you've really studied the golf course, there's, uh, the green complexes are, are really, really difficult.
41:53
And so there are many opportunities to find hole locations that are gonna challenge the, the really good golfers.
42:01
So from a hole location standpoint, what I do there is, uh, I will go and I'll make a, a tour of the, the golf course in advance to try to get a sense of how is the golf course playing, what are the conditions of the golf course, what are we going to expect? Certainly, the challenge this year is, is how hot and dry it's been over the course of the last-
43:06
Sure.
43:06
But, um, so we get an idea.
43:09
We, we do our- Initial site visit, uh, get a sense of how it's gonna be playing.
80:37
But for someone who's never heard of it, what exactly is it? And is flesh-eating just a scary headline or some truth to this?
80:45
Actually, it's not a scary headline.
80:47
There's a lot of truth to it.
80:49
This is a type of maggots, essentially.
80:52
They come from a bot fly.
80:58
And what these do that's different, most maggots that people are aware of, You know, they feed on dead tissue.
81:05
These actually feed on live tissue.
81:56
How did this come back in 2026?
0:54
But for someone who's never heard of it, what exactly is it? And, and i- is flesh-eating just a scary headline, or is there some truth to this?
1:02
Uh, actually, it's not a scary headline.
1:03
It ...
1:04
Uh, there's a lot of truth to it.
1:05
This is a, this is a type of, um ...
1:08
They're maggots, essentially.
1:10
The, you know, just, uh ...
4:23
... ranchers then have to be pretty thorough about checking their livestock, right?
