Hello and welcome.

It's our number one, numero uno.

And we begin this hour talking about the NFL, the COVID-ravaged Rams,

Thumbs up or thumbs down on this win being more than just your average regular season victory for the Rams with everything considered.

We talk about that and much more.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our number one.

Feasting on seabirds, welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben

We are in the air everywhere as we have a whale of a time, coast to coast, border to border

Hope all as well with you.
