If you thought four hours a day, 1,200 minutes a week was enough, think again.

He's the last remnants of the old republic.

A sole bastion of fairness.

He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Wow.

The clearinghouse of hot takes break free for something special.

The fifth hour with Ben Mallor starts right now.

In the air everywhere.

Welcome to another sparkling edition of the fifth hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G.

The 13th day of the month of January.

But more importantly, Danny, for our purposes, we have football action on Wild Card Weekend. It begins later today. Double barrel action. Are you prepared?

Do you have a proper cushion to sit on Danny G to watch the two games later today?

Well, first, I think we should start with the major news.

Fourth big announcement of the week.

First, we had Pete Carroll, then Nick Saban, then of course Bill Belichick,

and I hear that Ben Mallor is going to be retiring from radio.

Yes, yes. I'm retiring. I'm doing TV now, Danny.

I have much too important to do radio.

So that is a fair point.

I have decided that this is my last podcast. We won't even do the Sunday podcast. This is it.

This is all I'm doing. I am retiring. I just need to spend more time with my family. That's all I need to do, Danny.

That's what a week, huh? Yeah, crazy week.
