CFB With Andy Staples, 1 Question With A Fullback Texans Andrew Beck, Lighthouse Presentation And More

Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music. On today's part in My Take, we have our good friend Andy Staples in studio, talking college football.

Summer is the best way to run the way you want, dial it up with new challenges and programs, and bring your workouts with you. To make the most of outside sunny days with the beautiful summer weather, I've been trying to stay consistent with my fitness just to stay in shape. For beach season, summer is the best time to push your pace.

Okay, let's go.

Pardon my take.

We've been about martial sports.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, September 27th, and people are mad about Jalen hurts and the tush push.

Mad about that tush push, very upset. They want it banned, the haters want it banned.

You get tush pushed a lot.

I love the tush push, I do, too. I really do. I think if you don't like it, then stop it, figure out a way to stop it until then.

And, uh, by the way, Eagles dominated the box. That was kind of a comeback to reality for the box uh game that you saw, like, Hey, the Eagles, yeah, they are one of the best teams in the league. They went down, they took care of business.

Are you going to legislate into it? You're going to say, Uh, you can't push your quarterback from behind? Okay, well, Jalen hurts, we'll still run a quarterback.

Yeah, right, like they don't even in that, that that touchdown play, he wasn't pushed.

Yeah.

They push him for maybe a second effort, but again, 90 of the time he's getting those yards himself. Get a Jalen hurts, get an offensive line, or I actually think that defenses should start throwing players over the line.

Yeah.

So holding it, holding them by their legs and their arms, and just as a snap count goes, you just basically toss a player at Jalen hurt.

We talked about doing that with Darren Sproul is like throwing, throwing your running back over the line of scrimmage. So that could work. I actually have a way that I think might work. Maybe I'm stupid.

I got a couple ways.

Maybe I'm an idiot. So, um, the only way I can see the defense being able to really counter. It's kind of like in soccer, uh, when you have a penalty shot and the goalie has to, like, guess which side it's going to. You generally know what gap Jalen Hurts is trying to get to. It's usually just right over the guard, on the left side, maybe in between the guard and the tackle. They're big boys.

I like that, the other one, maybe a little more outside the box. You should just get your biggest guys same same philosophy, figure out which hole they're going to go to. And have them lay on top of each other for defensive lineman, laying on top of each other. And then have all the linebackers push that back into the Eagles, just push a mound of, just push them, a stack of dudes back at the Eagles.

I've been saying they should do that. hockey with like 30 seconds left, get all your players laying on top of each other in the mouth of the goal, you can't score. There's probably a rule against that. Um, yeah, there's not really. There are no real other good ways to counteract it.

It's Troy Palomaro or Levar Eriksen.

Yeah, you jump over the line of scrimmage and time to snap perfectly. Oh, maybe do the, uh, the Belichick, maybe have a gunner come in from the side, try to time it right and then and then run directly at them.

I don't know, I don't, I don't think it was the Eagles.

Yeah, so some team brought in a Scottish guy and he was like, you can't stop it. It's organized mass, right? And as long as their mass is more organized, which they will be. Because they know the snap count, they know the play, then there's no way to stop it for zero yards.

Yeah, uh, I really do think, though, this is just how the NFL works. There's innovation. Then there's a counteraction to it, like someone will try to be able to figure out how to stop it.

Yeah.

They're the way the N.FL works is people find innovation, they find a play that works. They're going to, they're going to spam it till it doesn't work, and I don't think we should be changing rules against it.

I would love to see that matchup, though the Dolphins against the Eagles, two distinct styles of offense. It's coming, it's coming.

I think it's in like three weeks, actually, yeah.

Sunday, October 22nd, Sunday night football.

I can't wait to see that.

I wish the Eagles would just, yeah, it would be great if the Dolphins just played with no down lineman and the Eagles only tush pushed.

Yeah, they could, they could do it, they could go. The length of the field, where it gets interesting, too, is on third down for the Eagles. Because they know if it's third and six, they have to get four yards. And then they'll run the tush push so they can run the ball. When it's third and six, third and five, most teams are passing that situation. It makes everything different. And Max like, I think it's a fun play to watch, I know you like it because it's like, it's man football. Organized Mass.

Not new Tom Brady's was when Tom Brady would do that play, it was like a hundred percent successful. Yeah, that was my point about Justin Herbert in the Brandon Staley fourth down call, Just do that play.

Yeah.

Like, it will work for everyone. Uh, maybe not Kyler Murray, but everyone. No, actually, Kyler Murray probably works, cause he's so small.

Maybe the defense gets like a really tiny guy that runs underneath people's legs and right into, right into. Jalen hurts knee.

So Max, how are we feeling about the Eagles overall?

Uh, yeah, I mean, that was a boring game, that was just a take care of business game. Red zone looked bad, but Hertz still doesn't look exactly like I want Hertz to look. But the run game is amazing, the defense is amazing.

He's Jalen Carter is so good, it's so fucked up that the Eagles got Jalen Carter and on draft night, well, it was the most. Yeah, it is.

Yeah, blame the bears for that.

I will.

I mean, I said that after we he would be, I said that he would not be.

Playing right now for the Bears, they're so dysfunctional.

It would be worse than what it is now.

Yeah, cause he probably wouldn't be on the roster, he probably would have quit football. He'd been like, I'm not around here.

It's just disgusting that the eagles got their mitts on them. Everybody knew it was going to happen, and then when it happened, we're like, How did this happen? Oh yeah, oh yeah.

I know people are doing the the uh, retroactive draft takes. I saw the one today that, uh, the Lions letting go or do they trade? DeAndre Swift They let them go.

Uh, they traded him for, like, a third or a fourth or something.

And so the people were were basically saying, imagine Jalen Carter on this lion's defense like that is what they need, someone like that. And yeah, the Eagles just have an embarrassment of riches. Do you, Max, do you want to say anything publicly about the fact that you were watching the game on stream?

Like, I should have slapped him. It was absolutely disrespectful to say about my guys. I know what you're going to say, I'm just going to say it first, I'm going to do the eight mile.

You just said that, you said I hope he turns his ACL.

I never said that.

Yeah, I just said it.

Never said that.

You said it, like, five seconds ago.

What you? just am I going insane? No, he said. I did say I wanted Patrick Mahomes Tears ACL.

I didn't say tears ACL, I said, I want him to get hurt.

You just said that.

I don't think I said tears, but you said it.

What is going on?

Did I say ACL? I don't think I said he didn't even hurt his ACL.

Oh, big cat, said, Sort of max.

Oh, my home's hurt, it hurt his ankle.

And you wanted him to tear his ACL.

I don't think I ever said, I don't think I ever said that.

Okay.

Well, this is gaslighting, this is gaslighting.

Max What about the play calling on that first drive? You think that was? That? Was Nick Sirianni being like, everyone's talking about A.J. Brown? He was yelling at people on the sidelines last week. Let's let's force feed the ball to AJ.

I mean, he absolutely ate on the front. Like, A.J. Brown is a good player, you get the ball in the hands of the good player. I don't like, care what happened last week, like people who are like, Oh yeah, you're just trying to force AJ Brown.

Uh, much like, much like eight mile. I'm just going to get ahead of it and say congrats, Max on beating the Commanders by at least 25 points this weekend. No, I mean, our offensive line can't block shit. I think Sam Hell is getting pressured 79 of the time on his dropbacks with that defensive line. You guys, oh man. 30 points minimum.

All right, so other game, Joe burrows back. Kind of, those are back. Uh, kind of. Didn't look great. But he did say afterwards. He's like, I know what was at risk for my injury, but I also know it was a risk to start. Oh, and three.

It's a big hole. All whites were great. Joe didn't look like himself, though he was. He was, like, all over the map. Not accurate.

It's very injured, but he did say something after the game that I thought, you know, he didn't look. He doesn't look like Joe Burrow yet, but he said that his defense was balling out the deep. The Bengals defense looked like the old Bengals defense, and that's the important part because, he said, part of the Bengals defense. Playing the way they are, I can take less risks, I can know that, you know, I can throw the ball away and put the ball where it can't be picked off.

Yeah, Sam Hubbard played a hell of a game.

Great, yeah.

Uh, Jamar Chase looked good too. Yeah, it was it. Get the ball to Jamar Chase. find Jamar Chase anywhere he is getting the ball downfield.

He wanted the ball more. Maybe a diva?

Diva Yeah, Jamar on Diva watch for sure.

I think we, we, we just projected that to the point where now we're just seeing, maybe it's confirmation bias that we're seeing. Receivers like, say, I want the ball more. A.J. Brown, another one.

Well, if you're a receiver, you probably always want the ball again.

Diva is not a bad thing. we want more diva receivers. It makes the league fun, and if you're that good, you should be a little bit of a diva.

Yeah, and they brought Chad Johnson back, the ultimate diva receiver. yeah, brought him back for this game.

Oh, he's doing the tours.

He's making the tour, yeah.

He never rung the bell, he just made that up.

He said he was going to ring the bell. Sounds like you guys pulled the carpet out from under him.

No legends only.

Legends only Uh, okay, well, that is a segue. If you have to, you want to do a quick ad and then we'll get into the Lighthouse finale.

Yeah, before we talk about the lighthouse, they should have paid extra for this ad read, because this is probably the most listened to segment of the year. Uh, it's brought to you by Morgan and Morgan. NF.L. season's going by so fast, so fast, that defensive line on the Eagles is so fast, so fast.

Okay.

It sounds like you've been putting the caps on the left and right.

It sounds like you're the one that's capping about the lighthouse. No, no, no, it was a Monday.

We were doing all of our games.

If there's one person who's capping about the lighthouse, it's you.

So who would like to go first? I think you got to go first, hank.

PFT, Do you have any? I mean, what is PFT?

I mean, I have truth on my side, I wield the mighty sword of justice and truth.

For anyone who's listening to the first episode of Pardon My Take, welcome to the premier Lighthouse podcast in America.

Uh, well, we're truth, we're truth seekers, me personally.

Can you set the stage for the new lighthouse or should I set the stage?

Uh, I'll set the stage. The Patriots built the largest, UH lighthouse in the continental U.S. Uh, it was.

You didn't even give the full story about why they built the lighthouse.

Well, they had a lighthouse there, then they built a bigger, uh, Jumbotron that covered the old lighthouse. So they had to build a bigger lighthouse. And said, fuck it, let's make the biggest lighthouse in the continental U.S.

His name is Commander Kroll, and he is a commander in the United States. Coast Guard. And you know what, I'm sick, I'm sick of people forgetting about the Coast Guard. When you ask them, like, when you say thank you for your service, when you say, okay, what's your favorite branch of the military?

I love, I love the coast Guard. I grew up on the water, okay?

Uh, so, hank. Without further ado, by the way, if you're watching on the YouTube, please subscribe. Uh, because we're trying to get 500,000 and we want to do that so that we can release the Max 5K team.

Yep, all right, here we go, White House. Uh, shout out to Ben Domek, I don't know how you say his last name.

So someone did the work for you.

Yes, no, yes.

What?

Uh, I'm not like Jake, I'm not. no, it doesn't work for Barstool. I'm not like, I don't know.

What do you mean?

You don't know what's his area of expertise.

He, he just helped me, he helped me, I had to, I had to get assistance. I told you I couldn't go to New England and and and verify these facts, so I had to have someone help. I'm not like, I'm not like Jake.

Where'd you meet this guy?

Can we just get into the report? Let's start.

Is this the editor at large at the spectator?

No, it's a different spelling. Oh, it's just an awl. Like splitting your DMS and help you.

No, I don't worry about it.

This guy goes $200,000.

I think he's not worried about that.

I think he's Megan McCain's husband. Did you get Megan McCain's husband to come in?

Don't are you getting facts from Megan McCain?

No, it's a different spelling, yeah.

Oh, Dominic, yeah, I was going to say, you brought in a political operative to take us down.

Stick to sports hank.

You guys should stick to sports.

I'm just trying to verify name wrong, so all right, you know what, flag? But the contest hasn't started, so that that actually doesn't count.

There's no contest.

First, we'll go into the history, uh? The earliest known lighthouses was built in Egypt over 2000 years ago. Brad Pitt is an archeologist, found the remains of more than 30 lighthouses built by ancient Romans.

Yeah, but he was in the movie Troy, basically a Roman, which was about Greece, not Egypt or Rome.

Next slide.

Wait, wait, okay.

All right, this is a great screenshot.

This is the factor fiction section of the UH presentation Factor fiction. This is for Big Cat and PFT, Okay, PFT said these exact words on Friday.

I'm going to say, fat.

Yeah, that sounds like something I would say.

Now, let me pull up the exact pause and put a comma after navigation.

Next slide.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, go back to that hank.

Okay.

Okay, aid to navigate I'm just pulling this up right now. I want to make sure that federal law, by definition, federal aides to navigation or any marine aides installed and maintained by the United States Coast Guard. To answer your question.

Next slide.

Evidence, exhibit, exhibit, exhibit.

Evidence a uh, exhibit a light.

You like lighthouses, I'm going to build you an entire podcast, I have a lighthouse, I'm an exhibit.

The Neponset River is a river in eastern Massachusetts, the United States. It's headwaters are at the Neponset River reservoir in Foxborough, near Gillette Stadium.

Wait, how near next slide?

What do you mean?

Headwater, headwaters literally means come next slide.

The Neponset River is federally funded. This is a Neponset River in Milton, Massachusetts. This was fun fact, just right down the street from our old office in Milton. Okay, so walk walk by it every day to go get coffee.

Okay.

During the construction of Gillette Stadium, the river was relocated to the edge of the property, adjacent to the Freemingham Secondary and Daylight.

You did not write any of this.

So wait, wait, they moved the river.

So that is Gillette Stadium actually go to the next slide.

How do you move? Wait, wait, wait, go back. You just said they relocated the river.

Yeah, how do you move a river? Ever heard of dams?

That that plugs up a river and it moves it.

It moves the stream.

Okay.

It's the same technology.

I'm not sure if that's starting to cook.

He's starting to cook.

Next slide, that is Gillette Stadium and that is the Neponset River, a federally funded water.

That's, that's the head of the Neponset River, allegedly.

Go back, go back, a couple of slides, memes.

It's the head of it.

Go back one more memes.

Two more.

No, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't know a lighthouse. To be considered a federally, it must be clearly visible from a federal waterway. Continue, Oh, last slide.

Okay, so Hank, a couple of things here, one isn't. Is this or is this not? A view from the lighthouse above, it looks like about three times as high as the lighthouse is of the river.

I do not, I am not holding a selfie stick.

I am not convinced that you can see that waterway from the top of the lighthouse. I would like to see evidence about it. I would also like to see evidence. You can see the lighthouse from the waterway. It looks like there's trees there.

We need to see a picture that's a drone head of the Neponset River to the light.

Hank Hank included a picture taken from the Goodyear Blimp.

Also, this is the reverse.

That could be someone, that could be someone on a selfie stick.

Hank, you need someone sitting in a boat.

That's what I'm saying, Yes, the river, because there's a tree line there.

Again, you didn't give me enough time, you really kind of tried to turn this court case around quickly.

You tried to do it on Monday?

Well, I had. I don't have time to go to Massachusetts, but what I do? Or if I can get Ben or someone else to help me out, I will prove that. You can clearly see the lighthouse from a federally funded waterway, therefore making it a lighthouse officially all right.

Are you is this? Was that it?

Okay, so wait, so now I get to, I get to respond.

Wait, also, I have a question. With the lighthouse, it looks like it's just the top is lit, but it doesn't actually have, like, the light that you shine out.

There's no lights that go out, no, in fact, they keep it dark almost all the time, which is a safety hazard. Interesting for birds, too.

Wait, but what if you're on a boat at the head of the Neponset River, a federally funded waterway, and the lighthouse isn't on it?

If there's a shipwreck, then that, that that goes back to New England Patriots.

We need to go, we need to go wreck a ship.

We should.

We got to go wreck a ship and be like we didn't know the land was a mile away.

Okay, I'd like to rebut a couple of points made by Henry Lockwood. Uh, Henry, what is your evidence that the Neponset River is federally funded?

Uh, I have the website.

Okay, tell me what federally funded means. I want to know more details about that.

Joe Biden sends a cash app transaction every month. Different rivers across the country.

It says it right there, though it does say go back. One Neponset River is federally funded.

That's that is, that's Hank's evidence.

That looks like facts.

That No, it's at River.com.

Okay, oh, it's not gov. Interesting, interesting, hank. wow.

That's federally funded.

It just needs federal waterway, that's all it needs, all right?

So well, no, there's a couple of things I'm just scratching the surface here. By definition. Um, federal aides to navigation, or any marine aides installed and maintained by the U. S. Coast Guard. Did the U. S. Coast Guard install, or do they maintain? The fake lighthouse at Gillette Stadium?

Can we go to the next slide? Yeah.

You're not answering for a White House.

We consider it a federal aviation, uh?

It says it must be clearly visible from a federal waterway. I remain unconvinced. I remain unconvinced that it's clearly visible from a federal waterway. And I looked up which waters? Hank Wait, I looked up which waters are federally controlled. Federally controlled waters are waters in which vessels must observe federal requirements.

You take a boat out on the same as all the other federally.

No, can you take a boat onto the Neponset River without observing federal mandates?

No, absolutely not.

You don't know that, that's number one.

I do.

Uh, the waters include, they're either the coastal waters, the great Lakes, territorial seas, or bodies of water connected directly to one of the above. Up to a point where the body of water is less than two miles wide. So what that means is, if it's connected to the ocean, it still would be a federal body of water. Until the point where the river is more narrow than two miles wide. I don't think that's, I'm looking at that right now, that that doesn't look like it's two miles wide, easily two miles wide.

What's the that distance right there? Do we have it?

That's a mile and a half.

Okay, well, then it's definitely not too much.

Yeah, it is. What are you talking about? No, that's a mile and a half per little spoke.

Oh, he's making that up, so now wait, no, no, no, because he's got the stadium on the map too. Are you saying? Gillette Stadium is three miles long? Six, seven, eight?

It's a big ass stadium.

So that means that what you're saying right now, that's 15 miles away from not even the lighthouse.

Yeah, maybe it's too far away, it might be. That's why they had to make it the biggest lighthouse in the continental U S. too far away.

If you're saying that's one and a half miles each, maybe it's half mile.

I forget if it's a half mile away, then that would mean that you, let's say that the football field in New England was a mile and a half long.

Yeah, that's not how big tracks are.

No nope.

No, I think now I'm, I'm, I'm more of an impartial observer here. I think the only way we can conclude this is we need someone. Sitting in a boat at the head of the Neponset river, taking a video with that day's newspaper to prove that that lighthouse is helping them navigate. And also, yeah.

And also measuring the head of the Neponset River to see if it's more than yeah.

Okay, yeah, I mean, it's a federal like, okay.

So the good news is, the Lighthouse saga is not over.

Listen, I, I, I'm keeping an open mind about it.

It sounds like you're not.

I am, I just think that you're very wrong. I think you're so wrong.

I just presented every piece of evidence you could pot, like if this was a jury, I would win 10 10. Oh, you know what?

It's sad, it's sad to me. 10. Oh, you would win, you're a partial, 10 person jury.

How big are juries? 12, 12, 12? Oh, uh, here's the thing, hank, it's sad.

It's really sad.

I agree.

It's very, very sad that a once proud New England Patriots fan, who expected nothing less than Super Bowls every year, has reduced themselves to creating a powerpoint presentation. And hiring out slaves to help you make this court case, and so you pay this person instead of talking about football.

Uh, pro bono, yes.

Hank So, in the case, this is slavery.

No, it's not, that's how it, just the law system works. If you've ever read a book, you would know that I this is very similar. Again, being a proud Patriots fan, this is par for the course.

It's just sad.

And someone's got to defend it, someone's got to defend the wall. I've been there before, I would go to jail for the Lighthouse, I would go to jail for Tom Brady.

Yeah, I would.

And you got to break in jail for the light.

I would absolutely break in and take a picture of the Ponset River.

I'm I just might have to break in. They would welcome me with open.

I don't think, I don't think you would go to jail for the White House.

I'm proud of you, Hank, for putting that this presentation together, even though you didn't, but I'm proud of you. I mean, that's well, no, the Ben guy did everything.

Who do you think made this presentation?

Well, I know that Hank made the slide that has representing Egypt.

One of the most famous.

Why, why? why are you coming at me for getting help? When PFT and his fucking little commander friend don't get any heat, he went out to find those facts or did that guy?

It's called journalism, Hank, I read. I reached out to the head of the United States Coast Guard to ask for their official comment on the record.

Sounds like you're? Yeah, he did.

And so I can't reach out to an expert in the field.

What, what field of qualifications?

What's Ben's qualifications?

White House expert in the field.

Guy who made order powerpoints.

I made this PowerPoint.

You did all right, then I take it back, I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

I thought, I thought that the screenshot that you used was, You're mad, you're mad. That's not a screenshot you would use if this was a neutral powerpoint.

I Somehow you've wiped the internet clean. I literally typed into Google PFT short and there wasn't. There wasn't a lot of the good ones, like I could have probably found, I could have probably could have worked harder to find some better ones.

It's sad.

I mean, I tied in like the Neponsa River, I'm close to the Neponsa River. I've bathed in it, I've you've bathed in it.

Yeah, you've bathed in it.

Yeah.

How many times?

At least once.

When?

Many times, I mean, I've, I've gone swimming, swimming and cleaning and washing off counts as bathing, right?

Swimming and soaping.

Yeah, the Neponsa River.

You brought soap with you into the.

No, but like if you have.

Well, now we have another thing we have to have sand on you.

You're dirty.

And then what qualifies as bathing?

Jumping in the water is bathing.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we first start to tell lies. That's you right now.

All right, so it's so we're to be, to be continued again.

Also, is this a cartoon illustration?

Oh yeah, that looks like it's AI.

It doesn't look real.

Hank, Did you use AI?

Oh, do you think I know how to use AI?

Wait, I don't know.

I'm just a good question, because let's, let's look, let's think about this.

It looks like a future stadium.

NFL State NFL Games this year played in Gillette Stadium.

Hank one was that night.

One was at night and the other was on a rainy day. The Eagles against the Eagles. That's a no sunny day with a stadium.

This is a fake picture.

Oh, it's not.

Yes, it is.

This is unless it was a preseason game, but I don't see preseason crowds like that.

No, yeah, the the trees tell you it's late October. Wow, oh my god.

Look at this, it's literally type in Gillette River, I mean, Gillette Stadium, the Ponza River, you can see it.

Well, I'm not. I'm not arguing that you were lazy and choosing your picture, that you used a fake picture, used a fake picture, though.

It's a rendering.

A rendering isn't used in a court of law, it's not a rendering of you murdering someone. Can I be like, look at this.

It's not a fake picture, it's a rendering.

HaNk That is a good catch, Jake. I'm not taking it back again. I do. Terrible slideshow.

This is sad.

Disgusting.

I mean, there's no proof that that's not a real picture.

Who are they playing? When was this game played?

Preseason, preseason.

And the trees look like that.

Yeah, global warming.

Oh, oh wait, that's the opposite.

That would mean that the leaves would would wait a long time.

No, they're getting it.

And you also don't think weather's real, so how can you say global warming?

Global warming.

You've really boxed yourself in here. That is the fakest picture ever. Look at the concourse, that's fake, those are fake.

That's unbelievable. Patriots only home preseason game was at night.

Oh my god, that's a full stadium.

What does the scoreboard say?

It's Texans 20, Patriots 9. Oh my God.

Can you zoom in on that?

That could have been before the Eagles. What do you mean, the Eagles game?

The Eagles Game, It was raining.

And maybe not before the game started.

Well, the whole field, the stadiums.

Yeah, we actually have a good, good fan base that show up early. It was Tom Brady Night.

And also the leaves have already turned in the first week of September.

Yeah, we went over this global warming.

Global warming? OK, got it.

We did go over this.

It's abbreviating the seasons, you know what?

This is such a bad powerpoint that I'm-.

Can you pull up a real picture of Gillette?

I'm inclined to give Hank the dub just because it's so depressing.

Because I think they're just missing stuff in this picture too, right? Yeah, I mean, hank you, that's tough. A rendering, you could render anything.

The slide that said the Ponset River is federally funded was pretty convincing, though.

Yeah, that was that. Is that the old lighthouse or the new one?

Oh, that's the old one.

Nope.

Ariel Not even close to, right.

Oh, man Hank.

Hank, this is tough. Yeah, just click on one of them.

These are the other angles.

Hmm.

Hmm, man, I don't see a river.

That's the reverse angle.

OK, I don't see a lighthouse.

That's also the reverse angle.

I don't see a river or a lighthouse.

That's the old lighthouse.

The old one.

It's the lighthouse.

Yeah, it really got shunned.

I think the old one was better than the new one.

Oh, there's one, OK, so this is a real picture.

And you can see it.

And you can't see the river? Yes, you can.

Where?

No, it says Gillette Stadium rendering.

Oh, that's the rendering. Yeah, oh, there's the exact picture.

Boom.

Enhancement's coming.

Oh, we found it.

Oh so, yeah, that lighthouse isn't even real, it hadn't even been built yet. That's a fake-.

We literally found the fake picture.

The picture is real, they just rendered in a lighthouse. I don't understand the difference.

No, it's not.

Yeah, it is.

You think they rendered in the-.

Oh, it could have been a new England Revolution game.

Yeah, full crowd you can see.

Wait, go back to the one that we found that Hank actually took from the internet there this one click on this, click on the article.

That's from 2021.

Wow, Hank. We don't even know if the river's still there.

That's a real picture. They might have moved it a little, did a little photoshop in.

So it's Photoshop.

Like, it's a pic, No, it's a real picture.

No, you just said it's Photoshop.

Interesting with an additional, yeah.

With an additional what? It's a tough look. What did they add in Hank?

Lighthouse added.

They added in the lighthouse.

This is a tough look, Hank.

I mean, someone's going to send a clear picture from the lighthouse of the river.

No, we need it from the river to the lighthouse.

Here are my terms, here are my terms for the new England Patriots. I will stop going on the Lighthouse. I will actually love the Lighthouse if they stop referring to it as a lighthouse, yeah.

That was passionate, you don't have that type of passion.

What do you mean? New England? It's not just a one, we're not better than all the other football teams, we're not just one state.

See, this is bullshit, they're taking valor.

That's the official new England Patriots propaganda sports.

Business Journal.

Yeah, that the Patriots sent to them.

Sports Business Journal.

Oh man, we've got, we got a, I mean, we need what?

What does that asterisk say right there? Hank Oh, there's an asterisk, it says. Not a functioning lighthouse.

Oh, we spent all this time and they just tweeted it out, all this research.

But it's still bullshit that it's even included on this.

It literally says it right there. Tallest U.S. lighthouses, that's a fact, oh man.

All right, well, I would like to see a picture from the river.

Yeah, I want to see that, too. Yeah, I would, and I'm still undecided on buying a lighthouse.

I am undecided on whether I'll help you buy a lighthouse.

That's why I don't, actually.

No, I'm not undecided on that. If you do, I will, I will match.

Okay, all right, so 44 grand each.

Yeah, let's just we got to know the upkeep, that's the only thing.

I think there's probably a significant amount of upkeep that goes into a lighthouse. Yeah, I'm excited to see the analytics of skips during this.

Section.

You gotta let us know on Friday, all right, well, let's get back to the show.

You know what the commanders are about to buy the land or about to use the land? Where old RFK Stadium used to be lighthouse, right next to the Potomac River and the Anacostia River, we could actually build a bigger lighthouse.

We should just buy some land, and yeah, but we should buy some land near the Mississippi River.

Yeah.

And build a lighthouse.

Yeah.

And have it be the tallest lighthouse?

We should do that.

Okay, all right, so to be continued again, sure, we need that.

The top of the lighthouse stretches seven flights of steps above the stadium's highest concourse. Even on a gloomy day, Boston Skyline, more than 20 miles away, is visible in the distance.

So you can see real buildings from it.

But can they see back?

They can't see back, no.

We got to find out if they can see back.

They can't.

All right, let's get back to our regular scheduled program to be continued on the Lighthouse. Great work all around that was, that was fascinating stuff.
