No. 2 single in March ‘85 by Glenn Frey. That’s what I’m talkin about.

TurboTap on Squawk Box

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

As you probably already know, friends Kris Dressler (Dress) and Matt Younkle (Jazzy) came up with the idea of the TurboTap while we were in college. The concept was discussed often over beers and there were several parties, get togethers and bar outings, all in the name of testing and research. In a nutshell it’s a beer tap that reduces costs to bar owners and concessionaires because it’s fast and efficient. Post-college Jazzy ran with the idea, formed his own company with Dress and Schroeder (among others) in its employ, and now TurboTap is in 28 stadiums across the U.S. And all I got for my help with the research is a lousy t-shirt. (Actually, it’s a tank top, and it’s pretty cute.) Congrats to the S, Y and D in McSwdys, you’ve made it big time.
