About this episode

The hosts discuss the concept of creativity in business and music, referencing a song inspired by a real-life event.

I wish I had come up with “Smart Beer”. That’s such a funny idea. But some business dick beat me to it. I wonder if I’m losing my fastball. Oh, no, I guess I’m not, because my copy of All The Pain That Money Can Buy is right here on my CD shelf! I’d like to see some Wharton stiff come up with that. But they could never. They probably don’t even know that Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading articles that described the June 1997 disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas,[6] who left home to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimer's disease and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery. But I’m smart so I did.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.
