Chapter 2: What documentary is Brittany Brave working on?
Brittany Brave is back for the second week in a row on Because Miami. Wearing exactly the same thing.
That's rude. I obviously own multiple copies of this jumpsuit.
Me too. My closet is like Batman's closet. It's just like black shirts.
I wear the same thing every day. I like looking like a small lesbian plumber. That's really...
It's kind of fine.
It's a me, Mario. Okay, I'm sorry.
I was trying to come up with the pun for that, for this super Mario lesbian pun.
Listen, I'm going to be honest with you. Baby Gap was having a sale and your girl cleaned up. That's it. That's it.
That's why she's been here the entire week. No one noticed her. She's just so petite.

Chapter 3: What controversy surrounds the Miami Marlins luxury box?
These are public documents that I just happen to have, believe it or not, with me. How convenient. bound book that you get when you do stadium deals or any sort of deals. So these are the signed, executed copies that are available in public. But I should point out that the suite, it was asked for immediately during the negotiation by the city and the county negotiators.
And we were willing to give them the use of a suite and they wanted it to say, and it specifically says that the suite is for public and or charity use and public use means the commissioners.
And there's actually a specific way to determine whether the suite will be used by the commissioners or for charity, because we agreed because I was in a good mood that particular Wednesday that when it was used for charity, we'd put food in the suite. But when it was used by the commissioners, they would have to pay for food in the suite. And it's all right here in Section 7.3.
You show down, David.
Did I ever. Because Miami.
So what? What a burden they have to cater for themselves. But was this something you were like, okay, if this is what I need to get it done, quid pro bro, take your suite. Was this something you were anxious to give up? It's very common. When we did our projections, assuming a sold-out stadium didn't happen, assuming every suite would get sold didn't happen.
we calculated that one suite would not be a revenue generating suite. And when the stadium was designed, we knew that was going to happen.

Chapter 4: Was the luxury suite meant for public or private use?
Just like when we calculated how much we'd make with outfield wall signage, we knew that the city and county would get part of the outfield wall. you actually hire a company to calculate what your revenue can be in a ballpark. It turned out not to be the case, but you calculate what it can be.
And so we knew exactly what we were giving as part of this, but it was a very highly negotiated provision. This whole section seven took up so much of my time. We're not talking hours. We're talking weeks and months in order to get this done, because these were the things that meant the most to the commissioners. Like, all right, what do we get?
And you're seeing it manifested that they get to go to a Yankee game. Yippee-ki-yay. I'm going to set aside for a moment the fact that you said your projection said that you were going to sell all of the suites. What kind of, what the hell kind of projection was that? So listen, there's three types of projections that you have to give to baseball.
There's a downside case, a base case, and an upside case. The upside case, of course, is selling all your inventory. The downside case is what I can sort of see from where we are. And the base case is what you expect to happen. So let's talk about this negotiation, you said, that took up so many weeks and months of your life on this deal. Clearly.
the interest was more on the quote public use rather than the and or charity use, is that right? Yeah, I love where your head's at because I didn't care.
So you have to keep in mind that I just wanted to get the provision negotiated and how they allocated it during the course of the term of the lease, the 38 years, it really was of no relevance to me because they had the right to choose as they want. And we had it very specifically how they would do it.
And we talked about what they would do for home games, for jewel events, for opening day was a big thing. Opening day is split between the county and the city, but the other 80 games, it's 40 that the county controls and 40 that the city controls. I remember the negotiation clear as day because the county didn't want to give the city anything. The city wanted the whole thing.
And we ended up settling at 40, 40 and them going together to opening day.
Wow, I'm exhausted even hearing this.
