How did tequila's story begin?
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 he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo.

Why are nostalgic baseball stories popular?
You know, as I get older, two things happen to me with my relationship with baseball. Number one is... I don't know what's happening. I don't watch any of these games. Most of the names I recognize are the sons of players that I knew from yesteryear, right? And at the same time, I've discovered a deep love and affection and a desire from my Instagram algorithm to continue giving me baseball videos, like these videos of like Barry Bonds talking about the good old days and Greg Maddux and all that stuff. I'm here for all of it. I was watching one about Ken Griffey Jr. talking about like the first time he turned his hat backwards or whatever. I'm fascinated by all this stuff. I love it when it pops up into my thing.
Sometimes they're talking about like stuff that happened in Triple A.
So is this just an extended version of the 90s baseball game? Is it just because of nostalgia? Or could it be like a player from 2015 telling you a story and you're like, okay with it?
Sometimes it's a player from 2015 telling a story. I just like the stories. The stories are really interesting. It seems like baseball players have interesting stories.
Do you think it's because you're now learning something about the game as they're telling you that story? Because you maybe don't know it on that intimate of level to where they're giving you their expertise? Or is this just their good storytellers? Because to me, this is sort of similar to how there are a lot of basketball fans who tangentially follow it only through trades and rumors and aren't actually watching basketball. Right.
Yeah, no, it's absolutely the same variety as that. I guess the basketball equivalent would be imagine if someone discovered basketball or rediscovered their love of basketball through Jeff Teague stories. Like it's not even like you grew up on Jeff Teague playing, but Jeff Teague telling stories about things that happened and then he walked into practice.
It doesn't even have to be Jeff Teague to me because like I'm watching videos and it's like, wow, this Tom Gugliotta guy was a problem, and they basically just, like, break down his entire game.
Tom Gugliotta. I mean, you said Barry Bonds earlier. You're going to go with Jeff Teague as a comparison?
Well, no, I'm just saying, like, my thing is this. I just use Barry Bonds because it's on the sheet, and that's the video we're going to throw to in a second. But it's not what Izzy just said. I could care less about, like, and this is why Jeff Conine was so good. Look at his location. I'm not here for that. I'm not here for any of that. I don't care. But I do care about Jeff Conine telling a story about how one time I was getting drunk with John Rocker. What? I'm just saying, like, whatever names. Or sometimes it could be names that I don't know. It was Mike Chibiata. And Mike Chibiata came in and said, hey, man, who took my pizza?
So what you're saying is, like, Rob Nen needs a podcast.
Is he a good storyteller?
I don't know. But what is that level of player? Like we need like a Jeff Teague caliber of player, a former big leaguer who was either a borderline all star or an all star once or twice. That type of level of big leaguer. If they a few of those guys started podcasts and just had a bunch of old big leaguers coming back. Joey Votto actually would be the guy to do this. Kevin Millar. Ooh, Kevin Millar's a fun one.
I've seen him on, what's his name, podcast, Julian Edelman's podcast, and he seems to have good stories. Millar's great.
