The Kenny G Episode

July 28, 2026 · 44 min

Show notes

Kenny G, our parents made love to thee. Honestly the smooth jazz station they did it to would not even exist without Kenny G. This man still practices 3 hours a day, he still has the hair, and today he woke up at 5:15am just to get his workout in before he came to our house. He can hold one note for half an hour without ever taking a breath. Does it require this level of unbelievable intensity to be this smooth? Or is this merely a man who has never truly tested his limits? Dave intends to get to the bottom of this, and many other things, on today’s episode. Thanks for watching us hang out with Kenny G. We respect you!
