   Barnaby OduyaVera, thank you. Let's be clear, this is not a request, it's a rebrand. The parking lot is finally having its moment.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut it's a letter asking owners to say no to federal agents. Do you represent anyone in this story?

5. BO

   Barnaby OduyaI represent the concept of asphalt. Every great comeback needs a venue, and nobody has ever thought of a lot as a character.

7. BO

   Barnaby OduyaA lead. Now, the owners need a spokesman, and between us, I've cleared my calendar. That's a rebrand of my entire spring.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me ask you again. Would a lot owner who says yes or no to this actually need a publicist?

   Barnaby OduyaEveryone needs one. I'd rebrand the booth, the little gate arm, even the ticket. The gate arm has been underestimated for decades.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe gate arm. You're pitching a comeback for a stick that goes up and down.

11. BO

    Barnaby OduyaUp, Vera, and then down, which is a journey. Honestly, I'd go smaller.

    Barnaby OduyaEach individual space gets a launch, a logo, a little rebrand of the painted line.
