Why is the history of tequila relevant today?
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.
How does the loneliness of not sleeping affect decision-making?
I'm lucky. I don't sleep and last night was the perfect night for me because there was so much going on over the weekend trying to figure out all the different things I wanted to discuss. The problem with the loneliness of not sleeping is who am I going to call? I went down the list. Can I reach Roy? Is there any way to get to Billy or Jess or Jeremy? Who's going to answer my texts? And I must tell you guys that I went over. I didn't contact any of you.
I was about to say, I didn't get a single text from you, buddy. What time are we talking here?
This was approximately, so my night was, I got to Miami, check into the hotel, and then White Lotus, so I watched that till about 10.46, because I didn't start it directly at nine, it was an hour and a half. Then, this was about 1.47. approximately when I wanted to reach out. And the reason I remember is I was thinking maybe I could reach out to Dan, who's in a different time zone, but then I just swallowed my phone. It's like a ref swallowing his whistle.
Did you have anything interesting to say, or was this just loneliness, like, hey, you up?
Well, it always starts with, hey, are you up? But I think it gets interesting talking about what order to talk about stuff. Like I wanted to start with.
So you wanted to talk about work.
Yes.
At one in the morning on a Monday morning.
It seemed important because we were going on air in only seven hours and 13 minutes. And so I was calculating in that remaining time, can I get through everything that I have to get through? And again, I swallowed my phone.
You made a good decision. Dan would have texted us.
For sure. So, Dan does do that. He's been told not to. He's really trying to improve on that. But I actually... Is he? No. Yeah? You know, he's trying. He's totally trying. Is he? No, no. Are you still getting the 5 a.m. emails? Yes. Because he learned how to schedule emails. Wait, what time did you get the email the other day?
That was 347.
Eastern?
What are the challenges of managing emails in different time zones?
Eastern.
He promised me that he would schedule emails. How long ago was that conversation? It's been three or four days. Maybe three or four days. Yeah, all right. So then we're good. It was before that. Oh, there's a whole new sheriff in town. It's all about the scheduling. He had a funny thing that he did. When he scheduled something, he doesn't like to interrupt Nothing Personal, which is done at 8 a.m. live. This morning, of course, he texted the entire Nothing Personal show and I didn't respond. But he's also potentially in a different time zone. And so he said, I'm going to send an email, but you won't get it. It's scheduled 8 o'clock. Don't look. It came at 11 o'clock Eastern. He scheduled it for 8 o'clock, his time zone.
If you're going to tell me you're sending me an email at that point, just send it. There's no point in the warning that you're going to get an email.
I was wrong. It wasn't 347. It was 345.
Do you not like the text that says, are you free? No. You just want the phone call. You want the phone right off the top. Just call me.
Yes, absolutely.
See, I was taught by people younger than I that they like the warning first. Like, hey, can we talk? Or, hey, are you free?
If it's one of my good gal friends, just call me.
So for me, I'd have to do the warning text.
If you called me out of the blue, I'd be like, huh.
Ooh.
How do sports records impact fan engagement?
I'd be like, what's this about? If Billy called me out of the blue, I would be like, uh-oh.
Yeah, something written wrong. I'm not a caller. I don't really call people. I'm more of a texter.
If Jeremy called me out of the blue, I would just hit ignore.
