Two Dudes and Killer Tunes

In Episode 16, the Two Dudes welcome Giovanni Gentile to the studio all the way from Austin, TX. Gio was good friends with S1 EP3 guest, Paul Kaliszewski, in high school and they always brought Kal around for the ride even though they were a few years older. All of them ended up playing on the same men's club team, the Marauders with Kal joining the team at 16. It was around this time when the three of them went to Milan Dragway in Milan, MI for Lollapalooza '93 which included Tool, Dinosaur Jr., Alice In Chains, and Primus.

After going to the same high school, Kal and Gio played against each other in college, with the series tied 1 win a piece. While in college Gio picked up a guitar and taught himself how to play and about six months later his band "red i" was playing gigs. If you listen to S1 EP1, Neil is fairly certain that the first time the Two Dudes went to a concert together it was Gio's band. Make sure to check this one out, it runs a little long, but worth every mintute

In this episode the Two Dudes invite Marco Sanchez and Avery Kaliszewski to the show. Marco and Avery have been friends for a while now and both went to Tyler, the Creator with Kal back in '22 at Little Caesar's Arena. Since then, these two took a road trip to Milwaukee with some other friends to see Travis Scott. It was good to learn about some new bands and artists we've never heard of, who the F is Ski Mask?
