Ring of Films and HBO's third installment of the music box series is listening to Kenny G.

0:05.2

The film takes a humorous but in-size of look at the saxophonist Kenny G,

0:08.9

the best-selling instrumental artist of all time, and quite possibly one of the most famous living

0:13.7

musicians. Listening to Kenny G unravels the allure of the man who played jazz so smoothly

0:19.2

that a whole new genre formed around him, and questions fundamental assumptions about art and

0:24.0

excellence in the process. You can find listening to Kenny G on HBO or HBO Max on Thursday to

0:29.7

December 2nd.

0:41.9

Okay, got a lot of good stuff on today's pod. We're going to talk about Boomer Carlin,

0:45.2

Bryan Kelly to LSU, also his picks for championship college weekend, and Darren Williams,

1:32.4

So, everyone talks about fit. There's no better fit than Coach O'One and Baton Rouge.

1:36.8

Obviously, it was a disaster after the National Championship, and I think he will tell you he did

1:40.6

1:49.6

that could actually do some exo. So, if something went wrong on the field, he wasn't leaning on
