The event was centered around business owners and creatives goalsetting for '26, which Kal used for the TDaKT S4 Strategy. They talked about how Brittany came up with the idea for her podcast, Might Get Loud which Dana was the first guest on.

Gabby fronts this rock band from Ann Arbor and they have played BurnFest A2 multiple times and also played at Upheaval Festival in Grand Rapids. As if Gabby wasn't busy enough, she started fronting the metal band, Annex Void. It is amazing to hear the death metal screams coming from Gabby and still have no idea how she does it. Annex Void will be playing at Upheaval Festival this year, on the same bill as Gojira. We have always been one of Gabby's biggest fans since we first met her three years ago and have been keeping an eye on her ever since. Gabby has a cool Forever Five, make sure to check out the Spotify Playlist for this episode.

We were all over the place with this one, from UDM road trips in the vans with Kal driving, Sarah’s MS diagnosis, her Forever Five, and so much more.

TDaKT: S4 EP1 Chris and Benner

In this episode, the Two Dudes welcome two Canadian dudes to kick off Season 4. Chris Giroux and Benner of Black Fawn Distribution joined from Hamilton, Ontario via Zoom. Given Kal's travels through Ontario over the last year, it seemed like a great way to get things started on TDaKT's 3rd Anniversary. Kal met Chris on Instagram because a shared follower, TDaKT S2 EP25 Alum, Peter DiStefano of Porno for Pyros, who is currently in the Psychedelic Furs. After some back and forth, Kal and Chris met in Hamilton and talked music, concerts, movies, and everything in between. This one runs a bit long at 1:45, but when Benner brings a three ring binder of ticket stubs you take your time. Chris and Benner go 1 vs 1 on their Forever Five's with no repeats, so this Playlist is going to be so Swet. These four need to plan a Detroit concert along with another episode of TDaKT from the Green Room, stay tuned.
