A last-minute travel-related snafu prevents Ben from making it to the studio, so we're back to Old Skool Eclectic Kettle, with far fewer arguments about ridiculous nonsense, and a bit more music instead.
Plus, the show starts during Game 1 of the World Series, featuring the San Francisco Giants, so who was actually listening, really?
Simon does take advantage of his time alone on the show to practice one of his favourite hobbies, though - referring to Ben by his hated DJ name, "DJ Cozy", so everyone's a winner (well, except for DJ Cozy).
Simon also mourns the fact that he didn't end up at Treasure Island Music Festival because of a 5 year old leg injury that needs some tinkering with. He has a lot of metal in his leg. See this week's show image? Yeah, that.
