You know, Jerry, how much we love our listeners and our viewers on the CBS Sports Network. Well, you know, last week, with all the moving going on around here the last couple of three, four weeks, and you missed some of this stuff because... You were out doing your Rutgers stuff. I mean, a number of people sent us a bunch of great things. So, first, I want to say thank you to Gary Lowe. Gary is the one who sent us this Herb Brooks. Oh, cool. He's from Lowe's Sports, and he also sent all the guys that were on air these USA pullovers. So, these are pretty cool. So, Gary, thank you very much.

What memories are shared about Club Bene in Sayreville?

Boomer Esiason 0:53
That's okay. What size are you, Al? Small? Probably medium.
Okay.
Boomer Esiason 0:56

Boomer Esiason 1:06
What about you? I am not an on-air person.
Unknown 1:09
You're talking right now, though.
Boomer Esiason 1:10
You talk a lot. For not being on-air, you end up getting involved quite a bit.
Gio 1:16
So he was responsible for the statue as well? Yeah, yeah. He sent a bunch of stuff.
Boomer Esiason 1:20
He's been involved with the 1980 Olympics and has a lot of licenses with them and everything else.

What controversy surrounds Al's comments on the U.S. Men's hockey team?

Boomer Esiason 1:25
It was great. And then also, he also sent me this, too. Remember we were talking about the Mike Ditka sweater we loved? So he also sent this. Look at this. This is the USA hockey sweater.
Gio 1:37
Hmm.
Boomer Esiason 1:38
That is neat. That looks like a throwback. That is a throwback.
Gio 1:41
That looks like something out of 1980.
Boomer Esiason 1:42
Yeah, so Gary was thinking about us. I appreciate it, Gary. And then I get this letter.
Gio 1:47
Like Christmas for Boomer.
Boomer Esiason 1:49
It was. It was crazy. Box after box after box.
Gio 1:51
Yeah.
Boomer Esiason 1:52
And then I got, you know, of course, I got the stuff from Cooper Electric, and they sent us a bunch of...

What incident occurred on the Garden State Parkway?

Boomer Esiason 1:57
milwaukee tools so it's pretty good so here's a guy he writes me a letter and at the end of it he says sorry but i had to ask is jerry that much of an argumentative combative guy or is it just an act for the show he disputes pretty much all of what you have to say that's not true you've got a ton of tolerance so don't rondo bene sent me this He did a- That is a gorgeous painting or drawing. As a Bengal. That is very cool. So, Ron, thank you very much. Yeah, and Jerry can be a combative guy and can be a pain in the ass sometimes. I am not. Yes.
Gio 2:30
You said Benet. I wonder, is he from Jersey? I'm assuming- Does it say?
Boomer Esiason 2:35
Well, he sent other stuff here. There's another part of this letter here that he called to ask Al. He assured me that it would not get lost in the mail, so he did call Al. Okay. So you know who this guy is, right?
Yeah.
Al Dukes 2:47
I do recall talking to somebody about him being worried it would get lost in the mail.
Boomer Esiason 2:51
And he also said by sending in this drawing and the other drawings that he had sent in to us, I hope I'm not coming across like that guy, Dan from Carteret.
Gio 3:01
Dan's a nice guy.

What led to the end of Jerry's tenure as a Little League coach?

Boomer Esiason 3:02
I get the feeling he's a pain in the ass to you guys. But anyway, I hope you like my drawing. And yes, I do like the drawing, and thank you very much.
Gio 3:10
I ask if he's from Jersey, because as Al will remember, I'm sure Eddie too, there was a very famous club back in the day. You might have even been there once or twice. The Club Binet on Route 35 in Lawrence Harbor? Yeah, I don't know.
Al Dukes 3:23
I don't think so.
Gio 3:23
Sayerville? Sayerville. Sayerville, no. You were never there? Benet is an unusual name. That's why I wonder if he had any attachment to it.
Boomer Esiason 3:32
And I'm hoping I'm saying it right. I think I am. How is it spelled? It's B-E-N-E. Yeah, I would say that's probably not right.
Gio 3:40
It's Ron Del Benet.

What unpublished book did Jerry write about his coaching experience?

Gio 3:43
Okay. So back in the day, I mean, this is what a dweeb I was because I did love this radio station growing up. You're still a little bit of a dweeb.
