5. A Lucky Ending: Gift Shop Windfall

• Fan Generosity (81:08–83:16): On the way out, a stranger offers Lunchbox a $250 Bethpage merch gift card after a cop declines it. Lunchbox scores major swag—“Jacket, shirt, towel… bam.”

The episode’s high-energy storytelling and humor-filled banter make it well worth the listen for fans of the show or anyone who’s ever embarrassed themselves in public.

You're live. I already hit it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, you hit it? Well, I don't hear myself. There it is. All right, I'm back, dude. Let me tell you. I got a couple stories.

[Ray]

Yo, check out my melody. I want to live good so I sell dope for.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

For. Yeah. I'm going to tell you this right now, though. I have a couple stories from New York.

[Ray]

I want you to tell all your stories and give us unabridged coverage of Beth Page five days after the fact. I believe your insight will be better in the Golf Channel, but you are going to get eviscerated in the 45th minute of this podcast.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The 45th?

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Why?

[Ray]

I want you to tell all your stuff first.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, I need to know, like, I mean, we can't get there yet. I don't want to jump ahead, but I'm gonna do a tease right now. I don't know how you saw me on tv, out of all the people in all of the land, how you saw me on tv, because I didn't even tell you what hole I was sitting at. So I don't want to Know, I. I don't want to know. I don't want to know. But I have been thinking about it since I received that text on Sunday afternoon from you saying, I just saw you on tv. I am like how? I told Garrett, Greg, Jacob, all the boys where I was at, I told father in law what hole I was standing at, and none of them saw me on tv. But you saw me on freaking tv.

[Ray]

Unbelievable.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Should we. You know what we should do, though?

[Ray]

I need to eviscerate you real quick. How come you didn't do one post from getting Beth Page? Our account looked like a graveyard.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Wait till the 45th minute when we get to Beth Page to eviscerate me. Please can we start the show? Because I don't want to have to stop in the middle of my stories.

[Ray]

Ray, I'm gonna piss in the microphone.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I'm not gonna pee in the microphone. I'm not.

[Ray]

We're gonna do it live. We are the.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

1, 2, 3, soar. Loser. What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'.

[Ray]

All, It's Sizzin from the north. Alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Bazer, my wife. We have 2.2 acres, 2.2 kids at Vanderbilt. Justin should be checking in on them tomorrow. He's off today. And then I'll die of a heart attack when I'm most likely 72 and a half, probably from the creatine and also the liposomal and also the creatine gummies. Over to you, man.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Okay, man. New York. We were going. We were flying. We were jet setting to go to Beth Page on Sunday. We were going to go see the Ryder Cup. And as we signed off the podcast on Friday, we said, oh, my gosh, say it. The one issue Beth Page, Black. Beth Page black.

[Ray]

Commoners can't play that course.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Actually, it's a public course. You can go there anytime you want. It's open to the.

[Ray]

Just took all the specialness out of this episode, people.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Hey. People show up there and camp overnight to get a tea time in their cars, waiting outside the gate.

[Ray]

Sounds like us at the local Muni. Nowadays it's so busy.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It really does. It's really hard to get on, Ray.

[Ray]

I've been sleeping here all night. Meet me on the first.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So that was our whole plan. And when we signed off the podcast on Friday, we said the only disaster could be if it's an absolute blowout. And Sunday's not going to matter that it was our exact quote as we were signing off the pod on freaking Friday. And here's the thing. Friday, my flight was at 2:20pm and I don't know what in God's green earth we were doing here, but it was 12 something o', clock, 12:15, 12:20 when I got finally got out of.

[Ray]

Here, quarter past, a monkey tickled to his balls basically.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I was like, I gotta go home. I still had to pack, I hadn't even packed yet. And I was like, I gotta hurry up. And so I got home and I walk in the door and my wife's like, are you ready to go? And I'm like no, I still gotta pack. She was like oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're gonna miss our plane.

[Ray]

You need a nanny, they would have packed for you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I need something. And so I put some stuff in the bag and I'm like, let's go to Beth Page. Black nyc, concrete jungle where dreams are.

[Ray]

Made of Beth Page.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Never heard of her. We left the house at 12:52pm and we arrived at that airport, got on the shuttle, got through security, get to Beth Page.

[Ray]

You and your damn story. Started every transportation service you took to get to the freakin airport. Continue.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And we got to the gate just as they were starting to board. We were able to grab something to eat and we go on the plane and we're those people that bring this food on the plane and smell up the whole freaking plane. And the captain, the freaking airplane walks by and goes oh, that's where that smell is coming from.

[Ray]

Schlotzki's?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I got Hattie B's. She got slimming huskies. Didn't really have much time to decide because it was the first food things we saw. And our gate was right after him. Hey man, how you doing? Right now we're on our way to New York on the airplane.

[Ray]

Nice, dude. Did you guys fly Spirit? Delta, Southwest Frontier?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I think we American, American there, jet boom, Delta back. Okay. Or we flew Delta there and American back, one of those two. But I'm going to tell you what, you want to know how much Those flights were?

[Ray]

$1,000 each way?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, 60 bucks.

[Ray]

60 bucks each way?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

So you must have flown Spirit than a frontier.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, no, I'm going to tell you what, flying to New York, I think there are so many. It's the smaller planes where there's only one seat and then two seats on the other side. Or there's two and two. Okay. And so it's a smaller plane, so I think they have so many of them going back and forth in New York, and it was dog. Cheap.

[Ray]

It's.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, But a lot of companies moved.

[Ray]

To Nashville during the pandemic, so that makes sense.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's almost like a commuter plane. Yes. Like a train, basically.

[Ray]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wow.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That's really, really cheap.

[Ray]

Guardia or jfk? I have other things to do. I just came to give you a paper.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

We. We flew into laguardia. We were flying into laguardia, and so we. No, no, no hiccups. We get straight there, get off the plane. Then you got to get on a bus to get the train into the city. So we get on the bus, and. I mean, I've never been on a more packed bus in my life. And, I mean, you're. People are cramming in, the doors are closing, and people can't even fit in.

[Ray]

All right, dude, it's not Bali. It's New York.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So I'm squeezing in, and there's this dude sitting down, and my butt is right in his face.

[Ray]

Which side of the road they drive on in New York?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Same side as in Nashville.

[Ray]

We're still at America.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And this dude, Dog, come on, dog. Come on, dog. And starts pushing me.

[Ray]

Whoa.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I'm like, oh, great, we're in New York.

[Ray]

He touched your chick?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, it was me because I was directly. Like, the door was straight in front of me, so I was trying to back up as far as I could because there was one guy that couldn't fit in the door. His suitcase.

[Ray]

You left him.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so I was like. And the bus is starting to drive off. I'm like, this dude's gonna fall out on the highway. So I'm trying to scoot as far into this dude as I can. And he's sitting down. He goes, dog, come on, dog. Dog, come on. Not to butt. And I was like, my bad, man. He was not happy with me. But we got him in and we go. We get on the train, and we get into frickin New York. And I'm like, wow. Concrete jungle is what they're talking about.

[Ray]

All right, so plane to train.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No plane to bust a train. And we get out, and we are right by our hotel, dude. Half a block, you would think the.

[Ray]

Train would be at the plane.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Not at LaGuardia, okay? At JFK, you can take a train right to it.

[Ray]

Got it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so that was the cool part. So then we go, we walk to our hotel, and it's like 6:45, almost 7:00'. Clock, and it is time to hit the streets of New York because we have a play we're going to at 8 o'. Clock.

[Ray]

Meat packing district.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, in the inner. I guess it's a Broadway district is what it's called. I don't know, maybe the musical district. I don't know. It was called Just In Time. I didn't know anything about it. But when you're going to a Yankees game on Saturday and Beth Page on Sunday, you have to do something the women want to do and they wanted to go see Just In Time, a musical to the arts. Well, here's the crazy part, and this is what was crazy. When we get off the plane, the other couple we were meeting there, they're like, dude, you'll never believe this. Our hotel is right across the street from the play. So you don't have to rush. We got plenty of time.

[Ray]

Give me it. We're going to the play. Give me it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

What?

[Ray]

Your main card.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, Kudger. And I was like, all right, you know, let's go to this play. I don't know anything about it. And they're like, hey, it's about Bobby Darin. And I'm like, I don't know who that is. And they're like, oh, he sings songs. And I'm like, I've never heard of the name Bobby Darin. But this one of the women we were with, other wife, she wanted to go see it. She picked it. I'm like, all right, so we go in. It's in the bottom of Wicked. So it's not a huge theater, but it's in the basement of Wicked. They made a couple jokes about being in the basement of Wicked. Sold out crowd, standing room only. And this guy, the lead, he was really good.

[Ray]

Bobby?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Well, no, it's not really Bobby. Oh, it's some guy playing him. But let me tell you, Ray, they had seats down on the floor where you could sit at tables, kind of like a cabaret. And it looked cool to be down there until you see this guy. Because they start coming in the crowd and acting in the crowd and going up and down the aisles. And the dude that was acting, I don't know his name. Jonathan Crafitt, maybe. I don't know. Look it up. He. I've never seen someone spit so much saliva in my freaking life.

[Ray]

So the Chalamet of the basement district in New York City.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes, he was spitting. Every time he spit, you could see it with all the lights flying out. Of his mouth.

[Ray]

That's maybe how you're supposed to emphasize.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And every time he would sing, fit would come flying out of his mouth.

[Ray]

That's cool.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And you would see members of the audience, when he'd be down in the audience, they'd be dodging the spit out of his freaking mouth.

[Ray]

What the. Hawk tua.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was hawk tua all over the people. There was one point, he's standing on a table.

[Ray]

Here we go.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The table is rotating and he's singing a song. And there's two older ladies with their Q tip hair sitting there so excited. And one lady's just clapping and clapping and the other lady is wiping her face over and over as this dude is spit on that thing. As he is continuing to spit on that thing all night long. All I could think about all night as I'm watching this guy is his freaking co workers, his people that are co starring with him. When they're doing these close up talking scenes, he is spitting in their face and they have to just sit there and not react. How do they not just like, ah, quit spitting in my face.

[Ray]

That's how you're supposed to do it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Unbelievable. He was really good at acting, he was really good at singing. But I could not get over the spitting on everything.

[Ray]

Spit on your chick?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, we were too far up. Let's hear. We weren't down there where he could spit on us. We were, we were up there at the top. We were up there at the top. It was great. It was a good show. Fine. I mean, it was entertaining, whatever. And we get up, we leave, then we go to dinner.

[Ray]

What an appetizer for the main course.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Because, you know, it's New York, man. It's New York. Nothing closes. It's already 10 o'. Clock. But hey, get a pie. Let's go get some dinner.

[Ray]

Hey, you want a donut, a croissant? What about a cranwich?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So we went to this restaurant right by where the theater was. We went in, we had some margaritas, had some chips and guac.

[Ray]

We ate in New York, Italian capital. You went and got Mexican?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, man, it was right next to the theater, man.

[Ray]

Like my wife. We're in south beach. You're supposed to get the local cuisine and she wants cheese dip. Bazer. They don't really do that here.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's not really called cheese dip. Because then if it's cheese dip, it ain't really good. It's queso. If they call it queso, it might be decent if it's cheese dip. If it's cheese dip. Don't even buy it.

[Ray]

Only place you can get queso Texas, right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So if you go somewhere and say cheese dip, don't buy it. So then we get done with dinner, and it's like 12, 15. We're exhausted from a long day. We're like, hey, let's. Let's. Let's hit the sheets.

[Ray]

Turn in.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Let's turn in. We go to the hotel. All right, guys. Yeah. What time you guys want to meet in the morning? Continue.

[Ray]

That concert.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Fell on that thing. I was like, I need to take a shower. Because I feel like his spit particles have flown up to where we were. There was spit everywhere. I can't believe those people sitting down there got so much spit on them.

[Ray]

That's a show.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It is a show. But it was so funny to watch them wipe their faces and be dodging him as he's standing there in front of them singing. They're all moving in their seats, not enjoying the music, but more like playing dodgeball, because if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge spit. That should be the slogan of the freaking play. Just in time.

[Ray]

What a mouth emphasizer, though. That's wild.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was very interesting. And so then we go to bed, man. And that was night one in New York.

[Ray]

Wow.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And we'll take a break, and next.

[Ray]

I will talk about my weekend.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, you. You, you, you.

[Ray]

You.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

You didn't. You didn't do it.

[Ray]

I went for more days than one.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes, I was. Because the next day, when we come back, we hit Yankee Stadium. And my interaction with the judge, the Aaron Judge.

[Ray]

Good job, dogs.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Ray. So we wake up On Saturday morning, 7:45am Set the alarm, take another shower, get dressed, meet in the lobby at like 8:30. Meet in the lobby at 8:30, because you know what time it is.

[Ray]

Slit in a shave.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Now it's time to go eat some breakfast. The other couple were with. They're like, oh, we made reservations at a restaurant in Central Park.

[Ray]

Nice.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I'm like, oh, cool. Never been. Let's go. So we go walking through New York, enjoying the sights and walk in front, you know, about to go into Central Park. Hey, freeze.

[Ray]

Give me your money, kid.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And that's when I had my first experience with the New York homeless. Oh, we're walking by and I'm smiling, just enjoying the sights. And he goes, can you help a homeless man out? And I'm like, nah, man. I'm just smiling. He goes, you know what? You know what? Don't walk by me smiling. You know what? When you walk by me smiling, makes me want to rip your face off. Sheesh. He goes, you shouldn't be. People shouldn't be walking by me smiling. That makes me want to rip their face off. Sheesh. I'm like, oh, welcome to New York, man. Yeah.

[Ray]

Did you have money to give him? I Did you take Zilly?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So I was like, oh. And I kind of picked up the pace and scampered into Central Park.

[Ray]

They touch your wife?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No. And I was like, well, I was a little hostile. I didn't feel good. So when we go to this restaurant, it's called the Tavern. It's a little brunch spot.

[Ray]

And we have one here.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No Tavern here. Closed.

[Ray]

Ray. They have a place called Hattie B's. It's a chicken spot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, no Tavern here. Closed. This is a new place. This is a place. It's old. It's right the middle Central Park, I guess. And you can sit there and see runners and bikers and all sorts of people just walking through Central Park. And we're out there and it's got nice shade umbrellas. And they put us at the table with the only one without an umbrella. So I just got baked in the sun.

[Ray]

And that's even before the Yankees game and before Beth Page.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Correct. And I'm just like, really? Out of all these tables, they put us at the one with no canopy. Cool, man. That's. That's awesome. Great reservation. So we eat, I have the pizza, the breakfast pizza. And then they're like, well, what do you want to do? Let's watch. Walk around Central Park a little bit. We walk, we go to some fountain that I guess is famous in Central Park.

[Ray]

Buckingham.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I see a couple get engaged. They were so excited. They bought. They popped a bottle of Dom right there.

[Ray]

It's a congratulation.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And then I turn around, there's another couple doing engagement photos right there at the same fountain where this other couple got engaged.

[Ray]

Turn around, there's a homeless guy. Hey, brother, got a buck.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And then there's people doing their little canoe rides in the middle of the Central park water that looks like slime on double dare. It was that green and gross looking.

[Ray]

There's a lot going on.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

A lot going on on a Saturday. And then we're like, all right, well, you know the Yankees games at 1, it's already 11:30. I guess we should get the train out to the Bronx, you know? A train. We should get to the Bronx. And so we get on the train and we're heading to the Bronx. And let me tell you what a great train ride. There's two broski's headed to the Yankees game and one's got a white claw in the brown bag sitting there. He's talking and he's talking to his buddy. He's like, so man. He's like, so, man, how you like, how you like living in Hoboken now? He's like, dude, I love it. He's like, I freaking love it.

[Ray]

Hoboken, New Jersey.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He's like, it's freaking great. He's like, he goes, I don't understand. Knicks still living up there. He's like, nick is such a dumbass dude.

[Ray]

Wicked. He's banging a girl from across the street, that apartment.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He's like, Nick talks about how his commute's so much better. He goes, because his commute's 15, mine's 23, and I have to walk three blocks from the subway. And he's like. And I mean, I don't mind the three blocks because you know why? It wakes me up in the morning. Nick's like, oh, dude, you're wasting your life. It's like eight extra minutes. He's like, nick. I just don't understand Nick's perspective. I think he's like, yeah, bro, man, that's what I'm saying, man. Like, I love Hoboken. Like I used to live and now it's a 30 minute commute for me from Hoboken. But you know what I mean, I like it. I like the atmosphere. There's a lot of young people. I mean they were just talking to talk that.

[Ray]

But that's just catching up.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was great. It was like these two dudes were just getting to know each other.

[Ray]

I'm from Nashville, how's it going? Yeehaw, boys.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And they, and they, and they sit there and they start talking. He's like, oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, yeah, it's gonna be a great game. I'm really excited. Blah blah. All right, cool. So we get off the train and we go right? Oh man, we still got like an hour till the game. What should we do, huh? Let's go over this place called. I think it's called Larry's.

[Ray]

I think I've been there, dude. Right across from the stadium. Yes, it's a banger.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It is a bang.

[Ray]

Er went there with south beach and the boys.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was huge. Massive TVs. The music so freakin loud you can't talk to anybody around you. But the party was hopping, Ray.

[Ray]

Massive TVs, massive energy, massive cans, if you know what I'm saying. Ladies, I'll take two of what he's having. How's it going?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I'm lunchbox and I mean we sit there, have a couple drinks.

[Ray]

Bartenders wearing pinstripes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Cut in half.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yep. Yeah.

[Ray]

Ray. Wasn't a lot there holding them.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, there wasn't. It wasn't a lot of material. Keeping those Things in, I'll tell you that right now.

[Ray]

And it was a sweaty day in New York. It was beer all over the place.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

People are drinking. I mean, pounding drinks. People are having a good old time. The Yankees are trying to win the division. I mean, it was fantastic. The bar was awesome. So cool. And then it's like 20, 20 minutes till game time. We're like, man, we want to be in our seats for first pitch. We better go.

[Ray]

If you go up the left exit, you can actually sneak up it without showing your tickets. South beach did it when we went there.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, really?

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I didn't know that. And I was like, oh, this is going to be awesome, man. And I didn't know where my tickets were. Like, I got tickets because I emailed someone in the New York office from iheartmedia and I was like, hey, do you guys have any connections at the Yankees to get me four tickets?

[Ray]

Tick for tat. Once they come here, CMA fest, you can hook them up.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Ding. And he was like, dude, you would never believe this, but the two people I know that are connections at the Yankees, they no longer work there. They've moved on. So let me ask someone else in the office. So he asked someone else in the office who asked someone else who? It ended up going all the way over to the Fox Sports TV crew. They had to ask if they could get tickets.

[Ray]

This just in, Mark, as we get to that postgame, pregame show, lunchbox needs tickets. We got them here for you. Back after this, Fox 7 New York.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And he. He finally emails me. He's like, hey, man. Or text me. He says, hey, I got you tickets. I'm sorry they're not behind home plate. I thought we were gonna be able to get you better tickets than we did. I'm really sorry. You know what I mean? I hope you can still enjoy the game. And I'm like, dude, I don't know where the tickets are, but they're in the building. That's all I care about. And all I care about is being inside a Yankee Stadium. It's not like I need to be behind home plate. Being behind home plate would be cool, but it's not like the most important thing in the world. And we walk in with our tickets, you know, and let me tell you, the cattle call to get in Yankee Stadium. They have it like a machine. This line, go. Here, stop, wait. Five from this line, go. Five from this line, go.

[Ray]

You're just a number.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It took us 15 minutes to get in the gates because they had his cattle Calling all different. So we got, like, eight minutes. T. First. First pitch, and we walk in, and we are section 108.

[Ray]

What bet you got on him? First inning, halftime, middle of the game.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, none.

[Ray]

You went raw dog.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I went raw dog. Whoa.

[Ray]

What is this, the 70s?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I walk in, and we're at section 110. I'm like, wow. We're right by our seats, and our seats are two sections to the right. So we go, we get drinks, and we go down to our seat. We are right at the foul pole and right field, right where it meets the wall. We're in foul territory. But you can touch the. I mean, our seat. Touch it with a front row of the wall.

[Ray]

I'm already envisioning it. Front row of the wall, five seats over. That's where the kid touched the ball. And Baltimore orioles, Yankees game, 20 years ago today.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That is so funny. Jeffrey Mayer is his name.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Because I texted cousin Andrew and he said, jeffrey Mayer. He goes, hey, let's get a little Jeffrey Mayer action.

[Ray]

I mean, anybody from that time period remembers that the kid reaches over, interferes with the play they called a home run. He's a New York hero.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Correct. And I don't know where he is today. Hopefully he's doing well.

[Ray]

He might have been the guy at the park that was asking for money.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Don't smile. It makes me want to rip your face off. Okay, sorry, man. I won't smile. I'm in New York on vacation. I shouldn't smile. And I mean, so you know who's out there in right field?

[Ray]

Yeah. The judge.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The honorable Aaron freaking judge.

[Ray]

The guy that has no arm and takes forever to circle a ball and most people can get a double off of it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No. You didn't know that when I went on Saturday.

[Ray]

He's a great hitter, horrible fielder, but we.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

We hadn't seen that when we were there. We didn't know that he was going to lollygag it in game one of the wild card round until after I left.

[Ray]

Glad your kids weren't there. He's not going to teach a master class on fielding your position.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. And we're. We're sitting there and we're watching Aaron Judge warm up. All right? And then the lady next to me goes, oh, my gosh. We were just on tv. And I'm like, what?

[Ray]

All right.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

She goes, look. And she sent a picture that her mom had taken of us on the tv. The lady, like some random New York lady. I was like, oh, that's so cool.

[Ray]

Put it on the Instagram.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

She never sent it to me.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I. Yeah, yeah, I should ask her. Send that to me. Forgot about that. But anyway, so then the, the, the top of the first starts and the roll call was phenomenal.

[Ray]

It's on tv. It's fine. It's a little much.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Aaron.

[Ray]

Aaron. Then he turns around, salutes John Carlo. He turns on, salutes. I mean, then you get. Once you get to like this Volpe and all, they're like Volpe. They're like Volpe V. Until the guy turns around and salutes, the crowd will not stop. Which was yacht up so far, I bet to be a part of it. Yes, it was tv. It's like, get done with this, guys, because I got a first. You know, I'm trying to watch this crap. I need a hitter.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was so fun. And then the bottom of the first comes Aaron Judge steps up, crack. Home run. Aaron Judge has left the building.

[Ray]

Close to you now.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Left field, left field.

[Ray]

What are the chances? He got a first inning dong.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Exactly. So cool. Then I saw Stanton hit a home run. And here's the thing, we have the short porch and right. And there was no action to the right field corner. Baltimore orioles had like 12 left handed batters in their lineup and not a single one of them was putting it down in the right field corner. It was so annoying.

[Ray]

You should have been with me at comerica. We had 12 foul balls, no less.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Nothing near us. No foul balls, no chance.

[Ray]

I had a ball so close. I saw the rotation. When you see that, that's when the heart starts going a little bit.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That's pretty freaking cool.

[Ray]

It was cool except for my dad was next to me and he can't move because he was stuck in his seat. And he goes, ray, I'm sorry, next time I'll do a better job of getting out of your way. I was blocked in. There was no way to get to the ball. Missed it by a foot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Well, and then, I mean, there was a guy behind me and let me tell you, he just commentated the whole game. The whole entire game.

[Ray]

What is he, Ernie Harwell?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was hilarious. He's there with his son and he's just like. I mean, first thing he's like, oh, here comes Aaron Judge, man. Aaron Judge, man. He needs to do this. Yeah. Oh, that one's gone. That's gone. What does that guy think? He's gonna sneak a fastball by Aaron Judge. What's he thinking? Like, Aaron, like, dad, Papa, shut the up. I mean, that's just a stupid Pitch by that guy. That's Aaron Judge. You're not going to get a. You know you're not going to get a pitch by him.

[Ray]

Hey, dad, you care if I stream. This is getting boring. And he's like, why would I care about Judge? I only care about Kyon Alton. I know speed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And then Bellinger comes up, he's like, man, I really want Bellinger to hit one. I want him to hit one out. I want him to get to 30 and 100. He's been stuck on 29 and 97 for like two weeks now. Like two weeks. Like I feel bad for the guy.

[Ray]

What is this guy? Historian.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean he commentated on every single moment of the baseball game.

[Ray]

Why don't you get me a popcorn.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Entire thing of baseball like every play, every bit. I'll come on blue like, like you can see the strike zone from the right field corner, you know, I'm saying like bro, you can't tell if it's a striker ball when we're sitting at the foul pole and they're 100ft away.

[Ray]

It'll do better right now than some of these broadcaster on ESPN because they're about to give up. The ESPN is going to be bankrupt. I think MLB's going to another network. Dude, they're giving us for these playoffs. They're giving us the worst announcers. Really. I mean besides Carl Ravich, the other guy, he's horrible.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Book Shombie. Book shambi.

[Ray]

Your guy was probably better.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean one of them.

[Ray]

There's a woman. Oh, it might be Doris Berg.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, it has to be Mendoza.

[Ray]

She's so annoying.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Mendoza. I. I watched baseball yesterday but I, I had it the volume low because the you know, talking to people in the house. The kids are there.

[Ray]

But regardless, that guy would have been good comment.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He was so funny. Every little comment. Oh, that's why. Well, why is he going to that. Why is he pitching that picture right there? Like dude, you don't know what. You don't know what pitch sequence is better than that.

[Ray]

Hey, New York. Frank, how far did you make it exactly? Shut the up.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, man. Oh well. Lazy. Ground of the second. That's an easy out. That's. Yeah, we got that one. All right. Three up, three down. There we go. There we go.

[Ray]

Hey, Frank, they ever throw 80 in middle school? Yep. Idiot. You ever play college ball?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Then I had a moment with Judge.

[Ray]

All rise.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Top of the fifth inning. I don't know why we went out there to talk to the pitcher, but we had a meeting at the Mound all rise.

[Ray]

And they tell me they said that and you guys would all rise.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, we didn't say that.

[Ray]

Okay, what about the guy behind you?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, he didn't say that either. And so then they're up there having a talk with the pitcher. You know what I mean? All the infields up there and they're blasting some kind of music.

[Ray]

It's called jury to deliberations.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. And so Aaron Judge is out there in right field, just hanging out.

[Ray]

Hey, Judge, what's the verdict?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so the music is going boom, boom, boom. And I just start pointing at him, up and down, like with a beat. And he did me the glove nod. He pointed and nodded to me. Aaron Judge looked right at me and gave me the glove. And like, the. I see you or your wife in the mountains. No, no, no. Everybody around. Oh, I saw that. They're like, I saw that.

[Ray]

What color shirt was she wearing?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

My wife? I don't know.

[Ray]

Was it raining?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No. Sunny day.

[Ray]

Ray, he was looking at me, not the shelf.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Ray, I am telling you.

[Dr. J]

I believe you.

[Ray]

That's awesome.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was awesome.

[Ray]

So he, like, gave you a head nod?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, he gave me a glove point.

[Ray]

Glove point, boom.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And a head nod. Like, with the head nod, like, boom.

[Ray]

Got the same thing from Javi Baez. He threw the ball to me, missed me by, like five feet. I didn't even include that in my story.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

What do you mean you missed me by five feet?

[Ray]

He threw. He looked at me because I was doing this with my hat.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Like I was a poor person asking for money.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, yeah.

[Ray]

And he threw the ball five feet over my head. But I didn't even include it in a story because I didn't really think it was cool if a player looked at you like that, because you don't really know if it's you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no. Everybody around me goes, oh, I saw that. They're like, you got the. You got the judge. He pointed. He acknowledged you. Everybody said it.

[Ray]

Were you recording?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I didn't. It was an organic streaming. No, it was an organic moment.

[Ray]

I believe you, though.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was awesome.

[Ray]

That's cool.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. And then there's more. We'll take a break and I'll tell you all about it right after this.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just, like, screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel trapped. My breathing changes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

[Ray]

I realized wow.

December 29, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage, Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm, everything changed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray]

At what point are you gonna get to Best page Black?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Well, Ray, so then if you watch Aaron Judge warm up, he throws it back and forth with someone, comes out of the. It's like a bullpen. Catcher comes out of the bullpen and that's who warms up with him. And then when he's done with warm ups, he always throws the ball into the bleachers in right field. Top of the seventh comes. This is two innings after we had the glove acknowledgment, right? And Aaron Judge is warming up, warming up with that catcher. And he gets done and he Turns and he's facing the right field bleachers. And I stand up and I yell.

[Ray]

Yo, Judge, you want a flash, honey? Get him ready.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And he turns his body. He looks at me, he's about 40 yards away. He takes that ball, throws it right to me, Ray. The ball is coming right to me. I mean, the perfect accuracy that he is able to throw this ball from 40 yards away. Perfect arc. And I mean, it is right to me, Ray. He looked right at me. And my wife goes, the ball's coming to you. The ball's coming to you. And I in every. And I'm just there in the front row and I put my hands out, Ray. And it goes right through my hands, Ray. And it hits me square in the chest.

[Ray]

And you grabbed it from the ground, Ray.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It hit me with a big a thud right in my chest. And Ray, the ball bounced back on the field.

[Ray]

You fumbled the bag. You fumbled the bag. Once in a lifetime shot. You could have brought that to the convention, you freaking idiot. Dude, we would have been able to put that ball on tour. You could have sold that thing if they win the series. It hit you in the chest and landed in right as a fair ball. The bat boy wouldn't. Stuck it up his butt pocket, right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The whole crowd booed me.

[Ray]

Was anybody recording?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The other wife that was with us goes, I had my phone out. And then she goes, and then I saw the ball coming to you. And I put the phone down. She goes, why didn't I record?

[Ray]

Knocked the air out of you. You miss out. You fumbled the bag in the crowd. Booze your ass, right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, boo that, man. Boo.

[Ray]

Dude, those things are hard to catch.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's so hard to catch it. The adrenaline, the excitement in the moment. Like there's no way he's gonna throw it to me, right? There's no way. And he turns his body, faces me, and he just throw. I mean, he threw a perfect strike. And it hit me right here in the chest. And Ray, instantly after it hits off my chest, I try to grab it. It goes down on the. It goes back on the warning track in foul ground. The little foul ground right there.

[Ray]

And it's gone. I know you ain't getting it back.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Security guard comes over, picks it up, and I'm like, here. And he throws it to the right field bleachers. And the whole crowd, bo, Bo. This guy out of New York.

[Ray]

Go back to Nashville. You catch some blastos. The only two things from Kent, Texas steers.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And my wife sunk down in her seat.

[Ray]

You Got your ass booed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And the guy that had been commentating.

[Ray]

All day, well, that wasn't very good, Frank. No, I've never seen a guy drop like that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, he said, he goes like this. Hey, man, how the you not catch that? I was right to you, dude. George threw you the damn ball and you dropped it. How the hell you dropped that, man? Boo.

[Ray]

My bad. We had some mimosas at the tavern. I was sun kissed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I was like, oh, my God. And my wife's like, did it hurt? I'm like, what do you mean, did it hurt? She goes, there it made a thud on your chest. I was like, no, it didn't hurt. It didn't hurt. And I mean, Ray, you want to see the red mark on my chest?

[Ray]

You have that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, it was. And I mean, I was just like, oh, my gosh. Oh, look where the ball hit me, Ray.

[Ray]

Yeah, there's a red mark. It hit you right in the chest.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I'm sitting there, and I. I mean, dude, I fumbled the bag.

[Ray]

The entire crowd is booing you. You probably could have heard that on the yes Network.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, for sure, dude. The whole entire section. Anybody that was watching, like, the part of the bleachers, my whole section, and the. They all boom.

[Ray]

Did you salute the crowd or something?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I was just like, that's why I play soccer. That's why I play soccer, man. That's why I play soccer.

[Ray]

Go back to Argentina.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I mean, Aaron Judge, watch this all. And I.

[Ray]

In my head, I'm thinking, when athlete meets fan. There's your example, guys. Oh, my gosh, dude, how do you recover from that? You had to leave. You had to. Steve Bartman. People throw pizza at you. Dude, did you. You left, right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

You got.

[Ray]

You had to grab the wife and kids, get out of the Bronx, dude. They start throwing crap at you. He gets hit with a battery, bro. Dude, there's no recovering from that. Y' all want any popcorn or cow candy?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I'll go run.

[Ray]

I'll go run up and get it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They're. I wanted. I was just like, this is so bad. I was like, this is so bad. I. I just got booed in the Bronx. I just got booed in the Bronx. And. And Aaron Judge is out there going, idiot. Like, how. I mean, he goes, that's why he's in the stands. I don't know what he's thinking. And then he probably jogged back in the dugout after the inning. Is like, oh, my God, guys, you just should have seen this idiot on the right field. Corner. I threw in the ball, smacked him right in the chest.

[Ray]

Dude. You freaking idiot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I said. And I told my wife, I said, ray is gonna laugh for 30 minutes about me getting hit in the chest by Aaron Judge, dude.

[Ray]

And I would actually be totally against you and say, you're the worst athlete ever. Except for when I saw the rotation on the ball when it was going to foul at Comerica. The last two feet. That ball is cooking. And without a glove and a major league pop up, does a lot more than a little league, middle school, high school pop up.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, Aaron Judge acted like he was a quarterback, and I was just wide open down the field. He threw it perfectly perfect. I saw the arc and everything, but.

[Ray]

Without a glove and I foot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I just misjudged it. And I put my hands and it was. I mean, it got there quicker than I thought it was going to get there and bonk my chest, dude. Onto the field.

[Ray]

The fact that it hit you, though, and then, like, was there a chance it could have stayed in the stands, though?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Dude, I was on the front row. So it literally hit off my chest, right back onto the floor.

[Ray]

You should have let it come to you in case you dropped it. You could have picked it up.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I would. I didn't mean for it to hit me in the chest. I plan to catch it with my hands and walk in here today and pull out an Aaron Judge ball out of my pocket instead. It.

[Ray]

And the people booed you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They boo.

[Ray]

Oh, my gosh, dude.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, dude. And that guy behind me, when he told me, man, how the you not catch that dog? He threw that right through you, man. Josh do it to you. Did you drop the. How the you not catch that one? I'm like, all right, yeah, I get it, man. I dropped it.

[Ray]

Exit velocity was 24. Catch velocity zero. This guy's a zero. All right, man. Crowds booing you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, booing me.

[Ray]

Not a good look for the pod.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Not a good look. It was so awful. And then the Yankees win. Yankees win. And everybody's starting to clear out. You know, we've had a couple drinks, had a couple pork missiles. And I didn't do the 9 and 9. I did not even attempt it, guys. I did the, like, 2 and 2. It was a nice, relaxing day at Yankee Stadium for getting booed. And everybody's standing out there hoping the players would come back out. And some guy that I don't even know where he was sitting, I have no idea. I never even seen this guy.

[Ray]

Bomb threat.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He comes to take a picture by the wall with his son. And he looks at me, goes, hey, man, you almost had that one. And he does a juggling motion. I'm like, okay, I might need.

[Ray]

From Rose, over.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

From Rose, over, dude. I'm like, hey, man, that was like, two innings ago. Like, we've moved on. The Yankees won, and they're playing New York. New York, and this guy's doing the. Hey, you almost had that one. Like, juggling it. I mean, you want to talk about. I was like, can we just go, guys? Like, this is like, we gotta go. And I get on the train, people are like, oh, are you the guy that dropped the ball?

[Ray]

No, they weren't. No, they weren't. Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

But I texted batter's box, and he said, quote, I'm embarrassed. You're my brother.

[Ray]

I mean, I want to be so against you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's so crazy.

[Ray]

So hard. It's so hard, bro. The game we were at, guy got hit on the head, and they took him to the hospital.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Really?

[Ray]

I don't even know if he made it. He. It hit him in the top of the head, same row as you. And jumped up 20 rows. And Maria said muff blood was coming from his ears. Of the first day, every foul ball, not one of them was caught. Not one ball was caught.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I get it.

[Ray]

So I just want that to make you feel a little bit better. It isn't the easiest thing. Those RPMs are not what we're used to with your playing with little Timmy in the backyard. That ball is humping.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I think a foul ball is probably harder to catch because this was just a throw from Aaron Judge. But I am telling you, it got there faster than I thought. And I.

[Ray]

Yes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I think as it's coming to me, I am just so excited. Like, I am like, holy crap. Aaron Judge is throwing me a ball. Aaron Judge is throwing me a ball. And I don't know what happened. I literally don't know what happened. I just remember putting my hands out.

[Ray]

And it went through your hands?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes, or over my hand. I mean, I just missed it. It was right there and smack right in the chest.

[Ray]

But, I mean, you're not going to catch it like a football because then there'll be a space in between your fingers where the ball can fit through.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Right.

[Ray]

You got to catch it, like, on your shirt. You want to just corral.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Was too.

[Ray]

The fact that you didn't catch it and then you didn't even get to keep it because it went back on.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The field and the security guard comes running up. I was like, hey, man, up here, up here. And he literally looked at me and just threw it over on the other side of the fare pole, like the foul pole, and threw in the bleachers. And I was like, mother.

[Ray]

Oh, dude.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Aaron. Judge. Dude, it was awesome. How awesome is that?

[Ray]

I wonder how badly you missed it. Did you feel it touch your hands or did you totally miss the ball and it just hit you in the chest?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

All I remember is it hitting my chest.

[Ray]

So you had no bruises on your hands or anything? No.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And then you might have not even.

[Ray]

Had your hands up in time and it drilled you in the chest and then that was your reaction to close your hands?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Maybe.

[Ray]

He might have thrown at 40, 50 miles an hour.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, I'm telling you, he was in right field. And he threw a perfect strike to me. Perfect. So perfect that that's where the letters would go across your jersey. He hit me right in the freaking chest in the Y. That's the end of Yankee Stadium, man. We'll take a break, and when we.

[Ray]

Come back, we don't have time for it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

We're going to Beth Pass.

[Ray]

No, we're not.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just, like, screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel trapped. My breathing changes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

More money, more money, more money. And I went white.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I realized, wow, like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster. New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations. This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of other people. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I'm going to tell my story, and I'm gonna hold my head up.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Hey, guys.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It's Stephanie, Beatriz, and Melissa Fumaro. And this is more better. We are jumping right in and ready to hear from you, your thoughts, your questions, your feelings about socks with sandals. And we're ready to share some possibly questionable advice. And hot takes. God sucks so hard, though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

We had so much fun last season. Laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends. Remember when we were in that scene where you guys were just supposed to.

[Ray]

Hug and I was standing? Oh, yeah.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I was like, Can I also hug them? I'm like, this has no friends.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

This time around, we are. Say it, Melissa.

[Ray]

Should I.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Getting a little more better.

[Ray]

Oh, finally.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It's all the dressing room talk you loved in season one. All the things. Because aren't we all trying to get a little more better? Listen to more Better on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

December 29, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm, everything changed.

[Ray]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

[Ray]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back in season two. We're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Ray]

So we're going to Beth page.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

What?

[Ray]

It's 45 minutes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I know. I. I told you this was gonna be a long banger.

[Ray]

No, you didn't.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I told you I had a couple stories from New York.

[Ray]

No, you didn't. You got.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Did you not think that. I mean, that Aaron Judge might be the best story we've ever told.

[Ray]

We need to push Beth Page to Friday.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, I am telling you, dude.

[Ray]

You needed to come up with the ball. The story's funny, but we need the ball. The ball would have been huge for the convention. It'd been huge for the Instagram, everything, all that. You could have gotten him to sign it. A lot of stuff, man.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. And I woke up on Sunday, I'm getting ready, and then I kind of touch my chest and I'm like, oh, my gosh, there's a bruise there. I might. There's a bruise right here. I can. I can feel it. I can feel the bruise.

[Ray]

Honey, you want to grab the orange juice? I don't want to drop it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Ah. So we get up that morning and we.

[Ray]

You know anybody? Like, was there any. Hey, catch this water, bro.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I.

[Ray]

Just kidding, man. Was anybody in your group?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, my group. Hey, man, like, we're not going to throw you anything today because we don't want you to miss it.

[Ray]

I'll catch a cab. Lunch will not leave that to you. I got it, guys.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was more like, hey, man, if Like Scotty tosses a golf ball. Or this way, our way. You just get out of the way, we'll catch it. I'm like, okay. All right, guys, really funny, really funny.

[Ray]

Gabby throws you your keys, your wife. I'll get it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. So we get up and we head to the train station. Going out of Penn Station, heading to freaking Beth Page Black. And we get there, our trains at 8:30, get a little bite to eat from the smoothie shop, get on that train. And it is packed with people heading to Bethpage.

[Ray]

People are saying $700 Ubers.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Well, we took a train, so we paid 30 bucks. Lot smarter than driving on a freaking Uber because the Uber's leaving. I saw them just sitting there. They weren't moving. Weren't moving. It was just a cluster. But we ride this train and you want to talk about a well oiled machine, you get off that train, they have 50 buses lined up. They cattle you right onto the buses and take you right to the gates. Boom. Drive through the little town of Beth Page, see some of the locals. One guy had a stand set up in his front yard saying beer shots. Welcome to Beth Page. Other people had signs, no parking. So there's a couple people embracing this, some that were not happy that it was there.

[Ray]

Probably a nice community too, right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was pretty. Yeah, pretty. And so we get there and you get in the gates. First thing we do. Here's the thing. There are so many damn people. And I thought we were going to be early. Getting there at 9:45 in the morning. Because they don't tee off till noon on Saturday.

[Ray]

Right.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I thought we were going to be way early. I was wrong.

[Ray]

I think they teed off before that, but sure.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, they teed off at noon on Saturday. Sunday I was there.

[Ray]

Oh, you said Saturday.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Sunday, Saturday. They were off at 8am I meant Sunday. Okay. Because I was there. I watched them tee off, Watch Cam Young.

[Ray]

I turn on the TV and I was like, what is this? Replays from the night before. What? They're already teeing off and we're already.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Depressed because we're like, man, this thing's going to last about two hours.

[Ray]

The USA was getting housed, housed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And we're like, we're going to be here for a couple hours, then we're going to go home. This is not, this is not worth the trip, not worth the money. I can't believe we did this, but let's just go have fun. First thing we do, hit the gift shop. My God, that thing is bigger than our entire building. It was huge.

[Ray]

Trying to make money. Merchandising.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes.

[Ray]

Toby Keith, the late. I made more money in merch than the President of the United States.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, and of course, everything's way overpriced. Just because it says Beth Page, Ryder cup, they can charge you an arm and a leg.

[Ray]

I see you're still wearing your challenge sweatshirt, which means you didn't buy anything there.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I bought a polo and I.

[Ray]

Bought a hat for golf.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, yeah, that. I mean, and to remind you of.

[Ray]

The time we got absolutely rinsed at our own tournament in American soil.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, just to say that I was there, like, it's kind of like a. I was there. It's kind of like a flex, you know, it feels like a big deal. And then Pitts wanted me to get him a shirt, so I hit him up, was like, did you really want me to buy you a shirt, brother?

[Ray]

I wouldn't mind paying $90. Something says Beth Page.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so he said, yeah, brother, just something, you know, it doesn't have to be a shirt, just something to, you know, kind of from there be pretty cool. I was like, all right. So I got him a shirt.

[Ray]

Would you get him a vape?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I got him a red shirt, says, you know, Ryder Covenant has the New York skyline. It's a pretty dope shirt, if you're asking me. So I do all that check out, and then the other couple we're with, they're in there shopping forever. Forever. And I'm like, guys, we've got to get moving if we're going to get a spot on the course.

[Ray]

That's when groups separate when we go on trips with couples, if they're slow. My name is Ben, and I'm out. My name's Go. My name's Joe. I'm going to go.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so I'm just sitting there, sitting there, me and the wife, and I'm like, you know what? I got to go to the bathroom. So I'm gonna go. And so I walk. And the bathroom was like a mile. Felt like a mile. So I walk, find the bathroom, go to the bathroom. I'm like, well, I'm not gonna walk all the way back over there, because they're gonna have to walk this way. So I went to the putting green, and I saw Cam Young coming off the putting green. He played well, and he came up over the bridge, and everybody's cheering for him. And then he goes over the chipping green. I sat there and watched him chip. I watched Justin Thomas chip. I watched Justin Rose Chip. And that's when the news came out that Victor Hovland slept on his neck wrong. And they get a free half point because he can't play.

[Ray]

Absolute bull crap. It should have been a point to the U.S. right?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

If you can't play, you don't get credit for a tie. That would have put a lot more pressure on the Europeans because we're that much closer to squirrel in their ass on a Sunday in the biggest comeback in Ryder cup history.

[Ray]

So if you want to be petty, why not just five of their players sit out and they're all halved, and.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They all win, and they win.

[Ray]

Win.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. I mean, why would you not do that?

[Ray]

Dumbest rule. They go. It's been there since 1972. Change it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Guess what speed limits used to be 55 and 72. We changed it.

[Ray]

Yeah. There's been a secret envelope drop where the captain says the player that'll sit out, and it's a tie. A halved point. Damn it. Victor Hovland is sick and dead, and it's a tie. What?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

What? I thought we.

[Ray]

I thought we had no chance on Saturday. Wake up Sunday morning. We really have no chance in hell of coming back from this, and we're.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Just giving free point, half points away. But anyway, so then they finally meet up with me. And we watch. We go and walking around, and we see Scotty Scheffler on the putting green.

[Ray]

Cool. He was a corpse all weekend, and.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He was missing putt after putt after putt. But I knew Cam Young was going to be on because I watched him chip. And every chip was within three feet of the hole, every single one of.

[Ray]

Them, and he won.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I was like, this dude's going to be on fire today. And I. All right. And then we're going to go get something to eat. So we lollygag over to the food tent, get something to eat, and it's 11:58. I'm like, guys, they're about to tee off on number one. So we get to number one. 30 people deep, you ain't going to see crap.

[Ray]

It was like 20.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I was there.

[Ray]

I saw it on TV.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Well, dude, I'm going to tell you 20, 30. In person, it looks like 50. Okay. You got to stand way back if you're going to see something. So I stand way back to watch Cam Young tee off. Then I watched Justin Rose tee off. And they're like. We were like, we got to go.

[Ray]

That's not where you want to be, where they tee off. We already went over that you want to be at where they finish.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Culture. I understand that. We just got food. It was just starting. We didn't. And so we were walking, and we're like, we got to go. We got to get to the end of one. Get to end of the one. Thousands of people around the green already.

[Ray]

800.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Okay, so let's go to hole number two. Thousands of people in hole number two. Okay, let's go to hole number three. Thousands of people on hole number three. All right, well, we got it. We got to start moving, guys. Let's get to four. Thousands of people on number four.

[Ray]

Are the chicks cool with this right now? Are they getting kind of irked that you guys are pushing them along?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They're okay. We're like, hey, sorry. They're practically running because the dude I was with, he's taller than me. He's like 6 4. So we're both huffing it. And these women are. Got their short little legs.

[Ray]

Yeah, see, Bazer would have already been annoyed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They were kind of annoyed. I'll be honest with you.

[Ray]

The next hole will be a lot funner.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So we get to number five, and it's like, so many people the women can't see. It's like, gosh, all right, let's go. Let's go to number six.

[Ray]

They doing the math that they're going to have to go about 16 holes?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. So we get to number six, and number six, the green is down in, like, a bowl. And we find a perfect hill because we're early enough. So you can see the drives come in and land about 100 yards, 80 yards out. And then you can see him chip onto the green and see him putt. So he's parked it right there on this hill 45 minutes before a player even got there.

[Ray]

So for 45 minutes, you're just standing there at a rope.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes.

[Ray]

Talking to a guy. Ball marker. How's it going? How'd you get this job? Oh, you're a volunteer.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, no. There's not even volunteers on that hole yet because there's no one there.

[Ray]

You're out here for free. Oh, no. There's tired in Beth Page, huh? No parking on your front lawn.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, no, no. There's no one even on the hole because there's no players. So there's not even volunteers on the hole yet.

[Ray]

They're just standing there in the middle of a golf course, not even playing, just watching. Nothing.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, that's funnier.

[Ray]

In the judge story.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

We're watching the big screen over there. Watching.

[Ray]

Watching a tv?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, at the golf tournament that I.

[Ray]

Was watching on my couch.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

I've never been to a golf tournament. Nobody's convinced me that they're fun.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Hold on. Okay, let me convince you.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The energy was awesome.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

As you're walking around and all the chants and the screaming and the yelling, usa.

[Ray]

This isn't a library.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yep. This isn't a library. Like, miss it. Miss it. You know, just like, funny. It was. The energy was electric.

[Ray]

Hilarious, though, that chant they had at Rory, the one that started with an F and ended in a T. That was cool.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, that wasn't. When I was really classy.

[Ray]

Movie on the American.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I didn't hear that part. I wasn't there. I wasn't there.

[Ray]

Possible another chant we can do that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Doesn'T start with an F. I wasn't there. I wasn't there when that happened.

[Ray]

What about the cup throw?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That was the day before. Because when we're on number six, then the players start coming. So then start. More people started coming. More people. But the drink tent was right there. Perfect. We got to see the shot of the day, though, because, I mean, it was already an ass kicking by the time they got to our hole. Every dang one was red, red, red, red. We're like, oh, my gosh. We're losing, like, every match.

[Ray]

Wait, we were red, idiot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Or blue, whatever the hell we were.

[Ray]

You were watching.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Thought you were rooting for Europe. Freaking idiot. No, I mean DeChambeau, by the time he got to our hole, was already down 4.

[Ray]

You go to Iceland once and think you're European.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Sorry, I apologize. I got it backwards. It was all red, and then we get was all blue. What did I say it was?

[Ray]

Europe winning.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Whatever it was, the color we didn't want.

[Ray]

You obviously didn't watch it on tv.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I didn't watch it on TV.

[Ray]

Because it was obvious. The blue. The entire weekend.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The whole weekend. I didn't see the tournament until I got there. I had no idea what the holes looked like. Nothing. I didn't see any of the coverage. Dude, I was in New York. I was hanging out with Aaron Judge.

[Ray]

It was a sea of blue, and we needed to turn red.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Thank you. And we got to see Justin Thomas chip it in. That was the hole I was on.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That was bad ass.

[Ray]

Sure.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And then DeChambeau has a chance to win the hole, misses his putt.

[Ray]

Saw that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I'm like, go back to live. And everybody, yeah, boo you again.

[Ray]

No, same crowd. And then that's the guy from the Yankees Game.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Boo. Then there was these four or five broskis. They were good friends. And they were. They were. They were so fun. Jt, jt, jt. They had all these chants they had cooked up.

[Ray]

Didn't help.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And everybody joined in. Yeah, here comes Scotty. He couldn't win the hole. Here we. Whatever. The six was great. Great spot. It was so fun. Got to see Rory. Rory had, like, seven cops with him on Sunday because of all the stuff that went down Saturday.

[Ray]

Yeah, they said increased security on the TV broadcast.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

100. He was surrounded.

[Ray]

His wife was kind of walking around with him, too.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And you know who we saw walking? I don't know who is. If he was with Rory. If he was with. I don't remember who he was with. No, he was with John Rom.

[Ray]

Who the hell was it?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Paul Gasol.

[Ray]

Yeah, he's a European.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, well, yo, Paul. Gasoline Pog. And he waved to us.

[Ray]

We're winning.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And like, yeah. At all.

[Ray]

Hey, you're the guy from the Yankees game.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so after we watch most of the group come through on six, we're like, well, we got to get somewhere on the back nine. And you're going to convince the chicks.

[Ray]

To go to 12.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So we go to 12. Can't see anything. Eight deep.

[Ray]

All right.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Rows eight rows deep. All right, let's go to 13. Same thing. 14. Same thing. 15. Same thing. 16. There's no one on 16 yet. We can get there. So I got my spot on 16. Dead even with the freaking hole. And we could watch him from the fairway at fly in and watch the putts. Only problem is we didn't realize is that's where everyone and their damn mom was going to stand. Why they're putting on that hole. I had to yell at Keegan. Bradley. Hey, Keegan, move out of the way. I can't see the putt.

[Ray]

Oh, the team.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes. It was so annoying.

[Ray]

Their earpieces. They're all talking secretive the whole time.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yes. I'm like, look. Look at Keegan blocking my view of the hole. I'm like, keegan, get out of the way. Or at least open your legs.

[Ray]

Were you really yelling at him?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, I really yelled at him. Oh, no one.

[Ray]

Our guys couldn't focus worth crap.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Go down the hole, Keegan, a little down the hill, Keegan, down the hill, please. Thanks, coacher. Or spread your legs a little wider, Keegan, so I can see the hole through.

[Ray]

We're chanting in our own players.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

That's Rory. Let's go, Brian. Keegan. There goes Bryson.

[Ray]

Love you. Cheering For Keegan, though.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Let's go, Brian. Keegan. Let's go, Bryce.

[Ray]

And you're also. You're cheering for Keegan. The dude's not even playing you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I know, I know, I know, I know. That's right after he chipped it in, dude. And so we're on 16, and we're watching. And, dude, when d. Shambo here. Here's the problem. And once they. You could watch them tee off on 17 on that par three, but you couldn't see where it landed.

[Ray]

And also, did you know what shot they were on? Did you know if they're going for the win? Did you know if they were going.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

For par on the screen?

[Ray]

It would show you that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It show you.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And when. When they're hitting into our green, I could see. Because I'd watch their drive, and then you could see him hit their second shot, and you knew, okay, when they got to the green, they're on their. They're putting for birdie every time.

[Ray]

The women. Were they able to follow along at all?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The women kind of lost interest Back at 7, Ray, once we got to 16, they went to the drink tent to get his drinks, and I don't know where they. They disappeared for like an hour, and then they came back, and then they were just kind of here. You want to get up here? And they're like, no, we're okay. And they were watching people tee off on 17, but they weren't really that concerned. But the. Like, when the Americans started winning some of these matches, the energy was going crazy. And when DeChambeau completed his comeback to get half a point on 18, beers were flying in the air. That's when everybody started thinking, oh, my God, the Americans can win this crap.

[Ray]

Did he tie or did he win?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He tied, but he got that half point that was huge because he was down by 4. 4 or 5.

[Ray]

5.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

5.

[Ray]

You would have known that if you're watching on TV.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And it was unbelievable. It was. And then Henley crapped the bet.

[Ray]

Yeah. So it was a blowout Friday, blowout Saturday. We were absolutely screwed. But what I realized with this Ryder cup, as long as your singles play good, you can suck Friday and Saturday and still win.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

The whole thing doesn't matter.

[Ray]

So we could have gone 9 and 2, 9 and 1 with a tie, and we would have been able to win. And there was a lot of reds on the tv.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, my God.

[Ray]

There was times when there'd be six lit up, five lit up, couple ties. There was always a blue. A Berg was always ahead by Two.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yep.

[Ray]

And yes. That was huge when Bryson did what he did. And then Henley and also he's top three. Huh. What is he.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Hurley?

[Ray]

Who is this guy? He had a four foot putt.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, my God. He left it short.

[Ray]

Any shit? I mean, just down his leg.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. No, he did. Now I want to know how did you see me on tv?

[Ray]

So I was flipping back and forth between the football and USA Europe, because I'm American, proud of my company, country and company I heart, baby. All the way, same color. It all worked together. And so I just flipped it over and it was a huge point in the golf thing where it all the other ones we were kind of red. But what was important is that we didn't tie that one.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

And that Bryson won his. So they were like. There was like a 10 minute window where it was important. Golf.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

I'm watching as a proud US American. I said, this is our chance. After just getting absolutely sodomized all weekend by Europe, I was tired of it. I said I would actually like Europe to make this comeback. And I knew you were there, and I wanted people to start going crazy. All I saw was people freaking out at the Europeans and us getting our names put all over there. That Americans are rude. Well, let's win and be rude instead of lose and be rude. And there was that small point where I turned on the TV and it was a big shot and I see a dude in a red shirt and it looked just like you, except for you look way fatter on tv. It looked like a bigger dude.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Can I tell you, Scotty Scheffler doesn't look that fat in person. Like, I think he looks fat on tv. He doesn't look fat.

[Ray]

Okay. He looks fat on tv.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He does not look fat.

[Ray]

And when they pan to you, you look fat. That I almost didn't even recognize you. I go, is that lunchbox? And Boomer's on the phone with me talking about his concert that he went to. Zach, Brian. I go, boomer, I got to call you back. I got to record on tv. I pretty sure I just saw lunchbox on tv. Hung up on Boomer, rewind it. And it was you, but 30 pounds heavier. That camera is adding a lot of weight on people.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

100%. Because when I saw Scottie Scheffler, I was like, I do skinny. I did. Like, he is not fat. Like it looks on tv.

[Ray]

And then you went to clean off your phone, lifted up your shirt, your gut looked huge and you're skinny.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, that TV was. I was Amazed because I had taken a picture and I looked at the picture. I was like, oh, that's blurry. I need to clean up my. I had no idea the TV camera was on me. Didn't even see it anywhere.

[Ray]

Yeah, it was able to Show probably, like 15 people in the crowd. Second row couldn't have been seen. You were the first row.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

And so it just panned over to you because you were kind of behind Henley Hurley. And I go, that's got to be Lunchbox. But good gosh, is he put on £40. I thought it was maybe a guy that looked like you. Heavyset fella, just has that good old lunchbox beard going. And I was like, that's him, though. But he doesn't own a red shirt. And I was like, maybe he went shopping at Beth Page and got him a red shirt.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I had a red shirt because I had ordered a USA shirt, like, with all these different USA stuff. And Amazon brought me the wrong size. They brought me an xl.

[Ray]

And then I looked challenge hoodie.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I had to have a red shirt because they said, wear red on Sunday. And I'm like, all right, I'll wear red. I got a red shirt. And so I brought that shirt, you know, because I didn't have the freaking USA one. That was an extra large. I didn't want to be wearing a freaking trash bag, extra large shirt. So that's what I had. And I wasn't going to. I didn't go buy a Beth Page shirt and then just put it on that day. It's like wearing a shirt at a concert. Can't do it. A lot of people did it. Not me, Bennett. I'm not in it.

[Ray]

And I was like, that's Lunchbox with a little bit of a fat suit on. I wasn't even gonna record it because I didn't think it was you. I just thought it was a heavyset fella that you have a similar looking face to a lot of people. There was a ref in the SEC that looks like you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

We posted him. Yeah.

[Ray]

So I thought maybe Lunch just has a really familiar looking face. What are the chances? In one of the final holes, he has a front row spot right there on the green.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Not likely.

[Ray]

I wasn't even gonna record it. I go, boomer, hold on. This might be Lunchbox in a fat suit. I go record it, play it back. And I was like, I'll be damned as him.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I posted. We got 130,000 views. It's our most popular Instagram video. Dude, I can't Believe.

[Ray]

I thought you had a fat brother.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

In New York or something, man. Holy hell.

[Ray]

Didn't even think it was you. What happened to you, man? How many pies did you put down? Did you go for a run when you got back?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

You look fatter and crap.

[Ray]

Oh, guys, the camera is not five pounds.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's 50.

[Ray]

Holy crap, dude.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Dude. I couldn't believe it. I, I, I don't understand how my, my, my people didn't see me. And I told them where I, I sent them a picture of where I was standing.

[Ray]

It was just fortunate that you were positioned where you were in the most important position of the match, is all that it was.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was awesome. That was. That was really funny.

[Ray]

But you didn't really know in your head that that putt was as crucial as it was.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I was just going, let's go, Henley. Right.

[Ray]

But it could have been another golfer at a different hole had a big shot.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Right.

[Ray]

But yours was near, narrowing. Could have been on the 18th.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Could have been.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And the 18th. Like, I would have had to go to the 18th. I feel like right after the. They teed off on number one to get a good spot.

[Ray]

But why did they finish on 16?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

They didn't. That was the, that was just where they were in that point in the time.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Then they went to 17 and 18.

[Ray]

But he couldn't catch up after that.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He was still leading. He blew it on 17 and 18 and gave up. Oh, yes. He gave it up.

[Ray]

Okay. If he would have got that putt, he would have won and maybe been.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Up 3 or something. Close the match.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

All right. And he didn't get it. And I was like, come on.

[Ray]

Yeah. So it was okay. I got it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Oh, dude. It was crazy.

[Ray]

And just so you know, guys, go to a Ryder Cup, 16, 17, 18, those are your holes right there. Because that's really crunch time. Unless it's a blowout, it'll end earlier.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Right.

[Ray]

But most likely, you picked one of the three holes where it's going to be super competitive, and that's where the TV broadcast is going to be.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was just luck. Luck of the draw. Like, I mean, I went to 6, and then I went to 16. So in between all that, I had to watch it on a screen like you did at home. The energy was amazing. It was fun. It was electric.

[Ray]

But I turned it off after that, so I don't think 18 would have been the spot, because most of the people turned it off, because at that point, Europe won because they were so far ahead.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, yeah. But I did. Like, so then we. Like, once we were like, oh, it's over. You know what I mean? We're like, I might as well walk. Get out of here. You know? And so we started walking back, and I did get to see Sam Burns and Bobby Mack tee off on number 18. That was pretty cool. Like, I mean, I was really close to them. Look. I mean, this is where I was on 18. Tee box. You don't really care to see him tee off. But they were. I mean. Cause everybody started clearing out once it was over.

[Ray]

Yeah, once it was over. And also we. If we would have gotten that point, the full point from hov, we would have still needed Hurley to have made his shot, and then we would have won.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Right. But the pressure that the Europeans would have felt, us closing in would have been so much more. They knew they had still room for error.

[Ray]

You had a chance for that crowd to be absolute bedlam. Yeah. And then Hurley down his leg.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

He did. And can you believe that?

[Ray]

Yeah, man. I got it.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And so then I. We did go to the grandstand and watch the team handshake. Like, we watched them finish out. And then we're like, all right, let's go.

[Ray]

TV was off.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I turned that off. Yeah. I didn't watch the trophy presentation. Like, I was like, no women need to charge their phone. So he went to a phone charging station. Then we had to go pick up our stuff that we bought from the pro shop, because you could leave it there in storage for $20. So much the best $20 ever spent so you don't have to carry it around all day.

[Ray]

I heard at the masters you got to carry it around all day, and it's so annoying.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. And then the greatest thing happened to me, and I'll tell you right after this.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Hey, guys, it's Stephanie, Beatriz, and Melissa Fumaro. And this is more better. We are jumping right in and ready to hear from you, your father, your questions, your feelings about socks with sandals, and we're ready to share some possibly questionable advice. And hot takes.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

We had so much fun last season. Laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends. Remember when we were in that scene where you guys were just supposed to.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Hug and I was standing.

[Ray]

Oh, yeah.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I was like, can I also hug them?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I'm like, this has no friends this time around. We are. Say it, Melissa.

[Ray]

Should I.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

December 29, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm everything changed.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

[Ray]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back. In season two. We're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app. App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

So we're walking back to the pro shop. Me and my buddy and the women are charging their phones. And there's this drunk older dude and he has 20 jackets, all these shirts. He has all sorts of memorabilia. And he walks up to this cop and he's like, here, I want you to have this for working this weekend.

[Ray]

You think he's on a list?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

No, I don't think he's on list. And she's like, what? And he's like, it's $250 to the gift shop, Ray.

[Ray]

One of those websites you can see if they're near you.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And she's like, I can't take gifts. And he's like, no, no, no. Thank you for what you do and thank you for your hard work out here this weekend. I want you to have this gift card.

[Ray]

Ladies being all honorable and she's like, there's just been complete debauchery at the golf course, lady. You can break a couple rules. We throw a beer at Rory's wife, for God's sake.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And she's like, no, I can't take it. And he's like, okay. And he starts walking away, heading to the exit. And I'm like, wait a minute. Did he just offer that lady $250 gift card that he's not gonna use to the Beth Page Ryder cup gift shop? Well, let me go tap him on the shoulder here. I said, hey, man, if you want to give me that $250 gift card, I'll take it. He looks at me and goes, okay, hand me a 250 gift card. Sheesh. And I was like, thank you, man. He was like, have a good one. And I mean, he had so much merch, he couldn't even carry it all pretty much.

[Ray]

What do you think? Was he rich?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And it had to be rich. He had to have like a suite or something. They gave him all these gift cards and he didn't use it all. That's what it is. Had to be. And I was like, there's no way this thing's gonna work. So I go back in there and buy me get a bunch of stuff.

[Ray]

Well, brother's got a free shirt.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

And I go up to the counter and I'm like, ah, that's probably ain't gonna work. And she goes, well, if they have the gift card, ours are one time use only, so they can't, you know, you gotta use it all. So he goes, if they have a gift card, it's valid. And she scanned it. Boom. Got me a jacket, got me a shirt, got me a towel for my bag, got me two T shirts. I mean, bam.

[Ray]

That'll help you forget about the Aaron Judge ball.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Smart. It was great. And that was New York, man. That was. That was all I did in New York. But my summary of the. The. The whole experience. Beth Page. The energy was exciting, but the atmosphere was building.

[Ray]

It was slow to start because we were down by so much.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It was very slow to start. The energy was fun. You don't get to see a lot of the golf when you're there. That's the problem. Would I go back? I don't know if I'd go back. I don't know if golf tournaments are for me. Like, golf tournaments in. In person may not be for me. Unless you have VIP access where you have the premium seats in the grandstand and you don't have to fight for seats then, maybe. But trying to plod your way across the golf course and get front row every hole. My name's Bennett. I'm not in it. So I would rate it a three out of five. Experience the energy. Cool. Seeing the top golfers, but having to go all the way to number six and wait 45 minutes before seeing the first golfer. Not that great.

[Ray]

The chicks weren't that attractive. New York, not full of a lot of lookers. My question is this. So say you live to 80. There's only going to be 40 of these tournaments in your lifetime. 20 of them in America.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

You've already missed 10 of them.

[Ray]

10 of them. So there's 10 left that you can go to. You went to that one, so there's nine left that you can go to. And you're saying right now that you will say pass to something you only have a chance of going to nine more times in your life.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Like I said, if I have VIP great seats, guaranteed grandstand. Every hole I go to, I can just get in the grandstands. I'd go back.

[Ray]

If you die in your 60s, there's about four more that you could go to.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I understand.

[Ray]

And you're saying pass?

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Ray]

If you die in your 50s, you've got a chance to go to one more.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Two more.

[Ray]

Two more, and you're going to pass.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Probably.

[Ray]

All right, man.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

I mean, it was cool and the experience was awesome. So fun.

[Ray]

I'll be in next year's.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

There won't be one next year.

[Ray]

That's what I'm saying. I ain't going to that s. I'll watch it on tv.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. I want to go to the Europe. One European woman.

[Ray]

Got some long ones.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

It's gonna be in Ireland, man. Get your plane ticket now.

[Ray]

Drink with the Dublin people.

[Bennett (Lunchbox)]

Sorry it was such a long pod, man. That was New York, man. New York, New York. Oh, you want me to play it? The Yankees won that game. I got a video of it.

[Ray]

Oh, Yanks, go.
