Podcast appearances and mentions of Jose Cuervo

Ted Genoways talks about his new book, “Tequila Wars,” a biography of Jose Cuervo. Then, Kevin Jessop and Matt Bartholomew discuss the recent Mountain West Capital Network deal flow report. And, Galen and Katie Zamarra talk about their new Main Street restaurants, Le Depot Brasserie and Union Patisserie.

“Untold“   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, Torie, and COB alum Mike Croley.  All agree that Charlotte Bronte was more talented at 13 than any of us as adults.  Mike explains tenure — liberating.  David wins the pop quiz “name the book by the quote.” Award winning (as in James Beard) and best selling author Ted Genoways zooms in to share “Tequila Wars,” his massively researched and compellingly written take on the unsung and underreported Jose Cuervo, a real person with untold impact on Mexican history.

This week Big Hes kicked Woo and J_Eezey to the curb and brought in his better half, Tivoli to hold it down. The couple discuses her Mother's Day, her journey to motherhood, and their journey to parenthood. Wait until you hear the stories of how their kids were conceived. Disclaimer lol. Don't forget to download the NspireU on Air App, go to Contentville and catch all the new episodes on Mondays. Why??? It's the Wooisms Way.

FERN editor-in-chief Theodore Ross talks to Genoways about his new book, Tequila Wars, which is an extraordinary exploration of the little-known – and often bloody history – of Jose Cuervo. Cuervo's life, and his struggle to bring stability and prosperity to his industry during the profound disruptions of the Mexican revolutionary era, is an epic tale. This new book pulls Cuervo's name off the bottle and pours it into real life. 

Titties McSmokes-A-Lot rocks a vintage Pistons jersey, fights cramps with Xanax, blunts, and vodka (Queen Liz approved!), while Kid's drooling over her “juggernauts” in this episode of The Goin' Deep Show. Gdub calls out an Essexville rap wannabe hustling weed and guns—street cred in a beet field, really? Kid confesses a toe infection (gross, dude), and Big Boy's Marge dishes life advice with horse teeth and a coleslaw fetish. Whipped cream's a go, but zucchini up the cooche? Nope—pussy's a full meal, says Kid, who'd broadcast from down there. Titties roasts bad muff divers, Gdub's a cunnilingus champ, and Friday's tequila-fueled boob bash looms. (Retro Rewind Edition–May 2007) Detailed Breakdown The Crew Assembles: Kid's running the circus, Gdub's dropping bombs, The MAP's flexing martial arts vibes, and our star guest Titties McSmokes-A-Lot (who's totally over that name) rolls in wearing a tight-ass Pistons jersey—Dennis Rodman style. Tits out, cramps incoming, it's a late-night shitshow! Cramp Cure Chaos: Titties is prepping for Aunt Flo with a Granny-approved cocktail: Xanax, a blunt, and vodka. Queen Elizabeth smoked weed for cramps, so we're basically royalty here. Call the listener line at 206-202-3337 to tell us how classy we are—or how much we suck. Fashion Flashback: Last time, Titties hid her “pistons” under camo, but tonight's jersey's old as hell and tight as fuck—Kid's drooling, Gdub's blurry from a 3 PM booze start, and The MAP's just happy to be here. Juggernaut status confirmed! Essexville Rap Star Bust: Gdub spills the tea on a local “rap star” (Aaron Barber, aka A-Bar) from THC Hustlers, nabbed for weed, guns, and felony vibes in Essexville. Street cred in a sugar beet town? He's rapping about pool envy and sirloin woes—Dr. Seuss-level bars. Yeast Infection Confessions: Kid's airing dirty laundry—his toe's got a yeast infection, courtesy of funky Mexican genes and a toe-digging fungus. No more ass-kicking his wife ‘til the fart sparks clear up. Titties wisely advises keeping toes outta dark places. Big Boy Chronicles: Gdub's Big Boy obsession drops a gem: a lifelong waitress (hey, Marge!) dishes career advice like “shave for Florida,” rocking horse teeth and a coleslaw-masturbating rap sheet. Kid's been there, managed bitches, and survived the hate. Food Foreplay Fails: Whipped cream on titties? Yes. Frank's Red Hot? Hell yeah. Zucchini dildos? Hard pass—nobody wants that infection. Pussy's a meal, not a snack, and Kid's ready to broadcast from the crotch buffet all damn night. Sex Ed Disasters: Titties calls out dudes who suck at going down—wrong direction, no communication, total pizza-level flops. Gdub's batting 1000, but half-handjob teases and fake lockjaw? Evil women strike again—science demands a grant! Booze & Boobs Preview: Vodka's flowing (Absolut and Three Olives Cherry), but Friday's the real party—boobs, vagijays, and a tattooed twat if Red gets her tequila bribe. Titties' trashed tales (Jose Cuervo sombrero swaps) and Kid's Gatorade-booze puke scare set the tone. Fart Finale: Gdub rips ass, sealing the deal—time to wrap this clusterfuck. Titties, Gdub, and The MAP promise more madness soon. Hit 206-202-3337 and go deep with us—vagina tattoos await!

Thank you so much to Jose Cuervo for sponsoring this episode. Buy Jose Cuervo here: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/list/jose-cuervo In this week's episode, I explore the rise and fall of Vine. Much has been said about the fall of Vine, with many commentators and experts putting it down to the lack of monetisation strategies on the platform. However, another important (yet often overlooked aspect) was how the platform treated creators. As Vine's management failed to take the concerns of these users seriously, this encouraged many of Vine's top creators to deprioritise Vine or move platforms, ultimately decreasing its cultural influence.

You can't log onto a Facebook Tequila group without seeing Cristalino Tequila derided, abused, and generally treated as some kind of punch line. But … do those user groups reflect the average consumer? Does the average consumer matter as much as the more highly engaged consumers that populate these online groups? And does consumption itself matter as much as cultural heritage? And why do I like the average Tequila Cristalino more than I like the average Tequila? That's what I discuss with my past self on this time-travel episode of Agave Road Trip! Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Lou Bank from the Past and filled with interview clips from Jaime Salas of Proximo and Jose Cuervo Tequila; Juan Eduardo Nuñez of Tequila El Viejito; Tequila-geek royalty Khrys Maxwell; dean of American whiskey journalism, Chuck Cowdery, and Barbara Engelskirchen from the National Museum of Mexican Art. Find extra photos and related links at agaveroadtrip.comHeritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, I know. But when I think about what Tequila was back in the ‘80s and ‘90s … it was a catalyst for fun. I had a coworker who thought “tequila” was Spanish for “dancing on tables.” And I still see that, though mainly in Mexico. Here in the USA, it's become so serious. Or maybe I just don't go to the right places or hang out with the right people. But I'm left wondering … when did Tequila stop being fun? When did they add Tequila Académico to the Norma? We're taking shots in this episode of Agave Road Trip! Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Linda Sullivan of seynasecreto and quotes from James Miller of El Bandido Yankee Tequila and Jaime Salas from Proximo Spirits. Find extra photos and related links at agaveroadtrip.comHeritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Forbes once described Jean-Charles Boisset as “The James Bond of Wine,” a title befitting of the Frenchman, who embodies elegance and sophistication. But at his core, Jean-Charles is fond of nourishing others and sharing his passion for high-quality beverage and food with anyone he encounters. Jean-Charles and his sister Nathalie lead the current generation of his family's business, Boisset Collection, a global company that owns dozens of wineries across the world, including in California, France, England and India. According to Forbes, Boisset Collection generates annual sales of around $200 million and has an estimated value of $450 million. While his primary business is wine, Jean-Charles is also a spirits entrepreneur whose latest project has reunited him with The Beckmann Gonzalez family, known for their extensive history in tequila, in particular as the creators of Jose Cuervo.  The partnership yielded Casa Obsidiana, an ultra-premium tequila brand that unites the collective expertise of its founding team. Created using estate-grown, 100% Blue Weber agave, the tequila is aged in French Oak wine barrels that once contained Chardonnay from a Boisset Collection winery in Napa Valley. Available in Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, the tequilas are bottled in Mexican-made hand-crafted ceramic bottles and feature the brand's namesake obsidian stone. In this episode, Jean-Charles speaks about how he identifies opportunities to innovate and why he emphasizes taste, not trends, when planning new business ventures and developing new products. He also discusses lessons from prior experience in the spirits industry and how historical context is at the heart of the company's communication strategy. Show notes: 0:35: Interview: Jean-Charles Boisset, Co-Founder, Casa Obsidiana – Jean-Charles talks about his childhood dream to become a professional soccer player and why he chose to join the family business instead and why he doesn't live with regret. He also shares his observations on the current market for beverage alcohol and state of drinking culture, how premiumization impacts innovation, how to create “extraordinary” products and why he stresses the importance of affordability and accessibility. He also explains how the history of the Beckmann Gonzalez family is at the core of Casa Obsidiana's brand story, the impact of/influence on finishing the tequila in wine barrels and why he and his team thought the artisanally-inspired bottles would be “a wild success or abject failure.” Brands in this episode: Casa Obsidiana, Lunazul, Jose Cuervo

On this week's episode of Stories Behind the Songs, we have the incredibly talented songwriter, Marla Cannon-Goodman. Marla is more than a seasoned songwriter as she has had a very productive career that began with her first cut for Sammy Kershaw in 1996. She grew up in the industry, writing poems since she was young, and learning from her dad - Buddy Cannon - who is also an iconic songwriter/producer. She's written “The Fool”, Lee Ann Womack's #1 hit, “Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo” by Tracy Byrd, and “Cleaning This Gun” by Rodney Atkins. She tells us the full stories behind these songs while also touching on her cut with Blake Shelton, "Don't Make Me.” She's going to take us through writing "Unfair Weather Friend" for Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, how those two were going back and forth on who would get to cut the song, and how the song ended up staying with both of them on their "Django and Jimmie" duet album. Over the last year, Marla has played and told some of these stories at the Listening Room quite a few times and we loved getting to dive even deeper today. She also shares unique insights into the evolution of music and reflects on being the daughter of someone like Buddy Cannon and how that affected her journey. If you enjoyed this episode, give us a follow and check out Marla's socials to stay up to date with what she's working on.

New York City is a city with a rich history. Buildings, businesses, and people all around have amazing stories to tell. Great Jones Distilling Co, aka Great Jones Distillery, is no exception. Great Jones Distillery is the first whiskey distillery in Manhattan since prohibition in the 1920s. The space in NoHo is a massive 28000 square foot area with four levels, 3+ bars, a restaurant, and, of course, a fully functioning distillery. Great Jones is the dream of Juan Domingo Beckmann, an 11th-generation spirits maker and chief executive who is the founder of Proximo Spirits, a liquor company based in Jersey City, N.J., that owns the new distillery, and whose family owns and operates the tequila giant Jose Cuervo. For $35, you can tour this historic distillery and learn all about the whiskey distillation process. The tour also allows you to try all 4 of their whiskeys, learn about tasting, and even see prohibition-era pieces of history, including a hidden area used by bootleggers for running alcohol between buildings. The tour also gives you a discount in the store so that you can take home your own bottle of delicious Great Jones whiskey! PS- The cheapest place to book tour tickets is their website. Great Jones Distillery has a happy hour every Tuesday - Friday from 3:30-6 pm. Food and Drinks We Like from Great Jones: Mr. Jones-- bourbon, ginger liquor, lemon juice situation Third Street Sour--bourbon, pear puree, lemon juice, red wine float Empire State Cobbler-- bourbon, apple cider, lemon juice, orgeat Food is expensive but solid. Plan to spend $30-$40 for entrees. Their $30 burger is great, but it's also a $30 burger... Our final review: Do the distillery tour, grab a cocktail at the bar afterward, and take home a bottle for your own shelf! Check out Great Jones Distilling Co. here.

Diana's life story is a testament to her unwavering resilience and determination. Born and raised in Chicago, she weathered a rocky childhood that included spells in foster care, living with family out of state, and even residing in homeless shelters with her mother and sisters. An astounding 11 different grammar schools marked her educational journey by the age of 10. Around the age of 11, her family secured subsidized housing, providing more stability, though the home environment remained challenging. Diana cherished the moments of play with her sisters and friends in the neighborhood. At a mere 17 years old, Diana became a single mother. Despite the odds stacked against her, she pursued her dreams and graduated from high school, becoming the first in her family to achieve this milestone. Upon turning 18, Diana ventured out on her own, shouldering the responsibilities of work, rent, and continued education. She also embarked on a modeling career, primarily engaged in promotional work for brands like Nerf, Jose Cuervo, and AT&T. Collaborations with photographers added depth to her modeling journey. As the years passed, she transitioned into nursing, embraced marriage, and celebrated the birth of her daughter. Yet, her personal struggles with depression and anxiety ignited a passion for mental health advocacy, which she channeled through her modeling platform. Diana's Instagram, known as "@the.model.nurse," transcended the realm of aesthetics, focusing on spreading joy and inspiration through her heartfelt captions. In late 2022, Diana undertook the challenging process of divorce, prioritizing her mental well-being. She made the courageous decision to start anew, relinquishing everything she had worked for. In her lowest moments, Diana confronted a pivotal choice: to be a victim of circumstances or a survivor. Resolutely, she chose the path of the survivor. This transformation led to the creation of "intend and inspire," her mental health platform, aimed at motivating others to heal from their traumas and lead intentional, peaceful lives. The platform is a valuable resource of mental health content with exciting developments in the works. Recently, Diana rekindled her modeling career, securing gigs with brands like 'Optimum Nutrition' and 'Think! Nutrition Bars.' She's also been sought after for photography events as a model. With a bright future ahead, Diana is eager to continue this journey. Diana's journey serves as a beacon of inspiration for all, a testament to the power of resilience and the pursuit of one's true self. The future holds much promise, and we eagerly anticipate what it has in store for her. Join us in this insightful conversation about mental health advocacy, resilience, and the journey towards creating awareness and support for mental wellness. Diana is an dvocate for mental health and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illnesses. She combines her health background as a nurse practiotioner, model, and mental health advocacy to promote modeling mental health events. Chicago join her upcoming next event on 12/9/23 to discuss.  Follow Diana at : Diana (@the.model.nurse) Battling Imposter Syndrome Overcoming Creative Blocks Comparing your journey to others How to break free from self-limiting thoughts.

Aged no less than two years in perfectly charred oak barrels, our premier whiskey boasts a warm nose and a smooth and crisp finish. For more information on Eric LeGrand Bourbon, visit www.ericlegrandwhiskey.com and follow them on Instagram @LeGrandWhiskey  ABOUT ERIC LEGRAND: In October 2010, Rutgers University football star, Eric LeGrand, sustained a spinal cord injury at his C3 and C4 vertebrae during a fourth quarter play at MetLife Stadium. While the initial prognosis was grim, Eric demonstrated his titan strength by shattering all expectations for his recovery and rehabilitation. Eric harnessed the national spotlight he attracted from his injury to give back to the community and inspire those living with and impacted by paralysis to bELieve. Team LeGrand was launched in September 2013 as a fundraising arm for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Since its inception, Team LeGrand has raised well over two million dollars for the Reeve Foundation. During his time as a participant of the Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network, he took part in a rigorous rehabilitation regime, including locomotor training, to re-teach his body how to walk and improve his quality of life. Eric has since regained movement in his shoulders and improvements to his overall health. From becoming an author, sports analyst for ESPN, Sirius, the Big Ten Network and Rutgers radio, to a much sought after motivational speaker, Eric has given a voice to the paralysis community to mobilize support for critical initiatives, policies and cutting-edge research. He has been recognized and received awards by Sports Illustrated, ESPY Awards, and the WWE Hall Of Fame. He also realized his NFL dream when his college coach and then Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Greg Schiano, signed him to a professional contract in 2012. In May 2014, Eric graduated from Rutgers University where he was an honored speaker at the commencement ceremony. Since his injury, Eric has shown the world that obstacles can be transformed into opportunities, and he will continue to drive his mission forward until he delivers on Christopher Reeve's dream of a world with empty wheelchairs. To Eric, it is not a matter of if he walks again, but rather when. Additionally, he has extended his versatility by becoming a savvy entrepreneur. In 2019, he created his own clothing brand, Shop Fifty Two and in 2021, launched his own coffee brand, LeGrand Coffee House. In 2022, he co-founded a Rutgers collective entitled Knight Society with former Rutgers basketball player Geo Baker. Most recently, Eric has further extended his business portfolio by co-founding Eric LeGrand Bourbon. ABOUT BRIAN AXELROD: Brian Axelrod is a fixture of the U.S wines & spirits industry, with more than 20 years working on the distribution and commercial side of some the most iconic spirits labels in the world. A true connector of people and brands, recently Brian brought his experience and talent together to partner with Conor McGregor and his team to launch Proper No. Twelve in all types of accounts across North America.

Before partnering with Team McGregor, Brian worked on D'USSE Cognac as the Brand Director and Commercial Director for Champagne Armand de Brignac for over 6 years alongside Jay-Z and Desire Perez. ABOUT THE CHRISTOPHER & DANA REEVE FOUNDATION: The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research and improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis.

If you listen to our Friday show called This Week in Bourbon, you would hear us talking about tequila being the next rising spirit. I mean, who doesn't like a good margarita? Much like bourbon, there is a lot to know about what goes into making the spirit. To help explain all that, we've invited Alfonso Esquivias, the Founder and Owner of Drinks with Fonz. Alfonso sent Ryan and I 12 different tequilas to sample them as we go through to know more about them. It was a lot of tequila but I promise you that I have a much deeper appreciation for tequila after this. Alfonso talks about the laws to be called a tequila and we dive into the process of harvesting agave and distilling it. We then tackle the touchy subject of how many tequilas on the market are full of additives like sugar and how you shouldn't trust many celebrity brands as well. Listen closely to the brands we talk about during the show so you know which ones are additive-free and legit. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the popularity of Buffalo Trace How did you get into spirits in general? What restrictions are in place to be called a tequila? Can you describe an agave plant? Can you explain the differences between blanco, reposado, and anejo? In bourbon you will never see anyone claim they like un-aged bourbon but why is that with tequila? How do you know which brands have additives? What are all tequilas in the 80-90 proof range? What is the typical proof off the still? Who is the MGP of tequila? So what makes something like Jose Cuervo mass-market or bottom shelf? Is saying "using tequila as a mixer" considered blasphemy? Does a particular agave field have different effect on the flavor like grapes with wine? How do you know when an agave plant is ready for harvesting? Does price point increase when proof increases? Do all celebrity tequilas have additives or are considered crap? @drinks.@with.@fonz Support this podcast on Patreon
