How did Cuervo become synonymous with tequila?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo.
Cuervo. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Why was the national anthem performance at a Nashville Predators game controversial?
All right, so I've been told that Nashville is the music city. We've had this conversation before. I'm not a big fan of live music, but Nashville is supposed to be the music city, right? So you would think that if you go to a Nashville event, you're going to get some fine music. Not apparently. If you go to a Nashville Predators game, you might get an anthem like this.
Can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed? How did that get approved? Like, do they not vet things? Were they just like, all right, this guy looks like he's got a jersey on? You said vet? I think he was a vet. I'm going to look it up, but I think he was a vet. Great anthem. You got some leeway on that. Thank you for your service, sir. Incredible anthem. Let him rock. I'm still going to push back here. Really? There has to be another qualification. Just on his face. You don't think that if you were at that game, you wouldn't love that? That was f***ing sick. What? Play it again. This is ridiculous. You don't know what song it is. What beat is that? And you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed
That guy's never played the bongos before. Someone just handed it like, hey, this is how you're doing it. A really fast beat for that song. I'm not a bongo player, although bongo does seem... Yes, you are. Everybody is. Yeah, I guess you're right. I love it at the stadium when they do the thing where it's like they put a picture of a bongo and then everyone's playing it. Even as an instrument for the bongos, isn't that a very like... Afro, like, Cuban. I would have assumed as much.
It felt like a person playing the bongos authentically would have had a little bit more to them.
History of the bongo. Bongos, a pair of open bottom drums, originated in Afro-Cuban culture in the late 19th century. Just sing it, man. The singing's not terrible. Especially if you're playing the bongos while his voice is great for someone who's also simultaneously playing the bongos.
I think where Charlie was going with this was not arguing whether he's good at it or bad at it. Why? If you're going to an event Would you rather just have a normal anthem, or would you rather be at the one game where this guy plays the bongos? I'm with you.
This is interesting, and I would be laughing if I was in the arena. I wouldn't be angry about it, but it's just one of those things of, like, something fell through the cracks here. Whoever's in charge of the production there was definitely like, all right, the person under them got a strongly worded email the next day.
the best part about it was there was an intermission interview they were playing the ducks and one of the ducks players were like you guys got a slow start yeah the bongo anthem really threw us off a little bit
is that better or worse than the Fergie anthem? You remember the All-Star game?
That's an all-timer.
Yeah.
Top of the heap. It's better. You think it's better? Way better. Way better. Because the expectation for Fergie was that it would be just, that person went into it like, hey, this is a run-of-the-mill national anthem. And you know what song she's singing the whole time. You get a platinum artist, of course, musically, they're going to do something where we're not going to make any headlines. We're good here. The Fergie anthem remix that the Warriors played in their locker room was awesome. Apparently she was not happy about that. Or her ex-husband. Ex-husband was complaining. Still standing for her. It's a tough moment. Oh, they still believe it was good. That's right. I don't think they believe it's good. I think that they are like... I'm an artist. I wanted to make it my own. I wanted to make it, you know, hey, you put the art out there and you let the people decide.
