Hello and welcome.

It's our number one, our number one of our radio show podcast.

Now before we get to the podcast, this hour, what's on tap, a plea for you,

if you have not submitted a question for the fifth hour podcast, the Sunday mailbag,

you have until 3 o'clock this afternoon, Eastern, noon Pacific to submit a question,

then we may use it.

I don't know if we're going to use it or not, but we probably will use it in the Sunday

podcast.

So if you'd like to be part of that, you can go over to the Facebook page, Ben Maller's show

on Facebook and submit your question.

So this hour, Kyrie Irving wants the NBA to change their logo to honor Kobe Bryant.

He said this in the past.

He's beating that drum yet again.

We examine also some spicy racial language used by Kyrie in making his plea.

And the Lakers implosion continues in the Great Salt Lake has the balloon popped in Lakerland.

All of that and more coming your way right now.

Here it is our number one.

Sounding the alarm for fashionable change.

Welcome in the beginning of the Ben Mallor show.

Good to have you locked and loaded.
