Transcript

00:00the ceiling of a maryland location versus a dc location is night and day i don't think ted felt

00:07that way about capital one arena refurbished versus virginia yeah i agree with that sound

00:11which is good or better 800-636-1067 also and you mentioned this this is a good point

00:17louise lucas is not in dc so she can't single-handedly hold this thing up and post a

00:22bunch of memes yeah we got that going for us too i haven't seen i haven't seen any memes to like

00:26let people know which way people stand or whatever point right we've been meme free for a little while

00:31i should have asked charles allen about that i was told that when you didn't want a stadium

00:35you're supposed to post memes of yourself in a graveyard over top of like uh you know a picture

00:41of josh harris or something you want what you want to be is the lowest level internet commenter that's

00:46that's the that's the standard anyway um somebody asked me yesterday what's the chance that this

00:51thing happens i'm making this up because i don't know and you know how do you even begin that i say

00:5580 i mean i think it's very very likely i guess i won't say slam dunk i also wonder if there's going

01:02to be more negotiation the team would tell you this is the deal like they don't really want to

01:06negotiate the deal the city would say in some cases allen uh maybe mendelson whoever we have to

01:13negotiate so maybe it changes a little bit i think there's some tweaking possible so the if it's end

01:19game stadium or no stadium i think it ends up happening now do i think that it's as it's written

01:26right now this second maybe maybe not i think that's the complicated part right where i think a

01:30couple members of the council could be swayed by one concession or one extra stipulation or uh one

01:37thing being removed or one kind of data point they would go this is my hold of i'm just making this up

01:42so charles allen for example could go 8 000 parking spots is too many they go what about 6 000 he could go

01:47okay i'm not saying you would but you know what i mean like so but that still means stadium is

01:51happening to me i think there's there's too much opportunity for grandstanding too much opportunity

01:57for uh let me get my voice out there let me go do every bit of media and and and swashbuckle and show

02:03you that i'm a hero for my ward and my residence in my city and my this and my that at the end of the

02:07day though there is so much money that's going to change hands what politicians love more than

02:13anything else is that golden shovel in the ground standing in front of some place with a big old

02:17pair of novelty scissors to cut that ribbon it's it's the thing it's what you're known for it's your

02:22uh you know your legacy piece or whatever so you know i think you're going to see a lot of the the

02:28puffing of chess and tell me how fiscally important it is you got to watch out for every dollar from the

02:32taxpayer and that sounds great in theory if there was follow-through over the years i might be more

02:37inclined to believe you quite frankly
