Hello and welcome. It's our number one. Hour number one of the Ben Mallor show, but you already knew that.

And before we tell you what's coming up here in hour number one, I need to do some shameless promotion.

For some reason, I got a TV show, and boy, is that exciting. It's a lot of fun to have a TV show.

But I need people to actually watch the show so we can continue doing the show.

And it debuts.

I do it every week.

It debuts on Friday on NBC Sports Boston, also NBC affiliates in Philadelphia, Chicago.

It'll be on in the Bay Area, San Francisco.

It'll be in Los Angeles and also New York.

So check your local cable listings and a few other places as well for Benny versus

the Penny.

I pick games against every NFL team.

And since you're a P1 of the radio show, I did slip in on this week's episode the name of one of our regular callers.

Which caller did I mention on the TV show?

You're only going to know if you actually watch the show.

Also, we have the fifth hour podcast today, and that'll be a lot of fun.

A behind-the-scenes look at doing a day-night double-header.

What was that like?

The day-night double-header.

And also, we'll go behind the scenes on having the great Inca in studio earlier this week.

But tonight, or this hour, I should say, on the Ben-M show, Chicago stomps to a Thursday night victory, does that game's outcome say more about the commanders or the Bears?

And how do you explain Washington's clear lack of execution?
