Mike Breen joins the show, and we greet him with a term that disturbs him to his core: "guttural bangs."

Katie reluctantly shares her hate for the Panthers as Roy belligerently takes over the segment from Dan. Did the Bruins get hosed? Should Sam Bennett have even been playing?

Hearing that Kenny G. is the guest on this week's South Beach Sessions... now that's music to our ears. A favorite all-time guest and the best-selling instrumentalist of all time, Kenny G. is in-studio with Dan for a special conversation that goes beyond the bits and jokes you've seen before. Dan gets to the heart of what has made Kenny so successful - from being cut from his high school jazz band to his near-obsessive drive for perfection.

This one is smooth listening at its finest... You can pre-order his memoir, “Life in The Key of G”, out September 24th, available wherever books (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Blackstone Publishing) and audiobooks (Audible, Apple Books) are sold.
