QOTD:

Yay for the India Trip… it’s always nice, at least for me, to hear about food and wine from other countries.

Go Jets !

I don’t know about Indian wine. I’ll try it but I won’t expect much

Yes, I am excited for you that you were in India. I’d love to check it out one day…

I am worried, however, that #4 won’t be able to get into rhythm in the new offense.

It will be interesting to see how Favre fits into a new offense after so many years at Green Bay. He has looked good so far in the preseason, but just two years ago Brett look like a disaster.

Nice show.

QOTD: I am very excited for you because you brought the walking interception into your fold. He will help you in the regular season because you ground game should be sick with faneca and woody making holes, but favre will do what he does best in the playoffs = end the season on a big int because he takes too many chances.

Lucky dog! When it rains it pours….and it looks like you’re getting showered with good fortune brethren. Ultimate bad ass situation: Favre guest appearance to try some….I don’t know maybe New York wines out of the Big Ass Glass (BAG)? We need to get the Vaynernation to push Favre to wear the wrist band in a game (would the NFL let him)?

Love the dedication.

QOTD: a) Indian food is a top 5 for me, so I’m all about your trip; b) Dude should ride off into the sunset instead of trying too hard to stay relevent. He’s all yours.

QOTD: I work with an offshore team in Chennai, always wanted to visit. I just hope you had all your shots … Also, I couldn’t be happier for you and the Jets getting Brett; I hope you go 2 – 0 vs. the Pats.. I watched your ustream interview today. Hypothetically, if you actually do get to own the Jets, what would your first roster move be?

Egypt, now India, wow, you’ve really expanded our palettes!

QOTD: Happy for both!

Good to see that despite the distance, you are still close to home and to what you care so much about (i.e. wine and the vayniacs). I’m sure all your fans are both envious and thankful at the same time. Hope India treated you well. Enjoy your séjour in the East. Looking forward to your return!

India. Hope you had a chance to do some sight seeing. I’m glad that Brett is doing so well.

I love the global shows being the travel aficionado I’d like to become.

QOTD: I am jealous though very happy for you being in India. The Indians I have met are very friendly and an intelligent society.

Good show

I spent some time in Mumbai (or Bombay, depending on how stubborn the person you ask and it’s an unbelievable country. For me, total culture shock, and minus my own distaste for curry, a totally fascinating country.

As for the Jets… meh. E-A-G-L-E-S baby! See ya Sunday!

QOTD: Happy for you that you have Brett, but that is just the quarterback.
Good luck in your division.

India wow, did not know they made wines.

Another excellent show. I must admit, though, I like it more when you slam a wine, e.g. the Sula Dindori, than when you praise a wine, e.g the d’Ori. An evocation of the 2 Buck Vaynerchuk classic ep. 212, I guess.

QUOD: Happy about both. May actually get me back into pro-football.

Wow, India. You’re really seeing the world. Is that because of WL, WLTV or the TC?

QotD: Always very excited when you are in the actual places the wines come from – although a hotel in Mumbai does not directly count (or so I hope ). Keep it real!

Great Show!!!

QOTD: Well, I’m glad for you and I hope that the Jets go all the way because it will make for a very interesting next year on WLTV.

QOTD – love to see you in India. An amazing and beautiful country of shocking contrasts. Don’t really see Favre doing a whole lot for you though, buddy.

QOTD: Let’s see…”Oh Gary, oh Gary, we’re sooooo happy for you that all your damn dreams are coming true.” Hope is good, dashed hopes are crushing.

Gary, this episode was definitely one of the most energetic and interesting that I’ve seen. I’ll be watching Farve and the Jets closely this season.

Gary! It was equally fun watching this show on-line as it was watching it live in Mumbai Looking forward to our next India trip!

BTW: Did you tell your audience that your main reason for India trip was to pray to the Elephant God and secure Brett Favre!

GO JETS!
