I agree with Gary, Dad needs to start a video blog on politics! I think he is funny, yet serious and has enough experience that people would watch!

QOTD: Early 2010 are economy turns around! I hope folks have learned their leasson about spending everything they make! As well as using equity from their homes to live off!

I rarely post, but I have to say that this was my favorite program of all time. While Pops is nowhere near the “common man,” it’s nice to hear a different voice than Gary’s who wasn’t afraid to disagree with him. On the heels of the cork vs screw top debate, it’s a breath of fresh air.

While it was a very funny program, it brought back the many debates I had with my Dad. He died in 2003; when Gary kissed Sascha at the end of the program and let him know how much he loved his father, I wished I had ended all of my arguments with my father that way.

QOTD: The President can’t do it all on his own, he needs help from all of us, but I’d still vote for him today.

“Excuse me, you can believe me.” HAHA! Loved it! This was, by far, the most entertaining and fun episodes I have every seen.. and I have been watching since the 300s. Sasha is amazing!

It doesn’t get any better than this, Sasha + Gary ! For a follow up show, how about if Sasha selects the wine for tasting and please include the Portugese wine that Sahsha enjoyed so much.
QOTD: In this time of economic crisis, yes our President needs our support, also Wall St. and the much and wrongly maligned hedge funds could use a superlative PR firm to get the word out about all the liquidity these institutions give to the economy.

One of the best episodes. The two of you could be a comedy team. QOTD – I think the economy will recover faster and better than the experts are predicting. At least I hope so.

(I forgot the) QOTD: I think it will be at least five or six more years before things turn around. I think over the next two or three things will get much worse and force a much-needed restructuring of the world economy, especially the US’s part.

I couldn’t watch it yesterday, but this was a great show. Sasha, were you talking about a tell-all book about Gary? Go for it! Thanks, guys.

I laughed out loud several times on this one. I don’t remember the last time I did that with a network or cable TV show.

Sebastian is a mensch!!

One time a friend of mine met my dad, and afterwards she said, “David, Now I know why you are the way you are.” Same with this episode.

QOTD: I’m worried that it’s never going to come back the way it was. Which may be a good thing, because we are burning through our natural resources way too fast and we only have a finite amount of oil left. Slow down, sustain for our kids and for the new Gary Vaynerchuk Jrs. and Sebastians of the world.

Great Great Great episode your interaction with your father is awesome. Reminds me of my conversations with my father. More Sasha please…….and as for the QOTD : I feel it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I like the random qotd by the way about politics.

Holy crap that rocked. Damn your dad is cool.

That was great!!!!! You guys were like two old Jews doing a Passover comedy show or something going back like that. And eating Matzoh and Gefilte fish and drinking cheap wine….lol That was funny!!

I’m going to do a spoof on that show when you have your next contest.

Sasha is THE BEST! I love your Father!! Happy Passover Sasha!!!

QOTD: I think that Obama has his hands full. He sold eveyone on the “Change” thing and he knew he could’nt change anything…well, at least not this year. It’s a shame he’s been caught in so many lies from his campaining days. I’ll tell ya what….I didn’t vote for him but really, what choice did you have? So he’s in…..and we just have to wait and see right! The thing I don’t like about him is, he pauses too long before answering a question, and 9 times out of 10 he never answers it in the end anyway.

And you are right Sasha…. CASH is KING. If I was GV I’d be buying up apartment complex’s and shopping centers. In 10 years you’re going to say… I should have bought real estate in 2009. Hell, I know he’s got some money stashed away….he flies coach…I mean really….who does $50 mill a year in sales and flies coach??? lol

I love ya Homey….Just bustin on my Homeboy….Ya know, that’s how I roll. And my main man Sasha. You guys rock!!

My first time checking in on the post…and I skipped backward to see this one. Great fun. My first time seeing Sasha too, so a nice treat to see where it all began. (and now a grand kid on the way)

I’m glad he gave you a little shit too! For crying out loud, it’s his palate and god dammit, if he thinks the Chilean is a good Summer wine – it’s a good summer wine – gotta practice what you preach.

As we all know, the best wine…is the wine in your hand.

Cheers and happy holidays!

ALWAYS a good time when Sasha makes an appearance on the Thunder Show! I truly admire the relationship that you have with your father, G. AND I got quite a few laughs out of Sasha’s stubbornness!

QOTD: Realistically we will start seeing solid economic growth in early to mid 2011, but I hope that the turn happens in late 2010.

Sasha is the man!
Straight-forward, business oriented, objective and no sniff-sniff preliminaries.

GREAT EPISODE!

Economic situation in US is at least 2-3 years away from really stabilizing, given the massive 1st time in US history ‘collision of so many important planets’; and when we do see 2 consecutive Quarters of positive GDP growth (even if only +0.1%) then still expect 2-3 Quarters of increasing unemployment!
My POV: 5-7 years before US gets back to about 80% of where it was economically…
BUT, remember, there are still 91.5% of Americans who ARE working and doing their best to help drive the turnaround…
which hits every 8-12+ years relatively predictably

Sasha is just so awesome, so real, and a superstar!!!

Qotd. 1. Obama is incredible and has done no wrong in my eyes. He has played every ball that has come at him perfectly. he is my political saviour.

Qodt 2. The economic crisis in some areas is starting to lift now, in other areas has not sunk in. The market index will start to lift overall in 18 months.

Gary, what do you think about Miles Austin from the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Jets? I also was wondering what you would have thought if T.O. landed with the Jets. great episode, btw.

Sasha checking the time on his watch 20 seconds in was classic!
Hey, it was about time you let a swear though! Nice work! We’re all over 21 here.
Sasha never fails to bring it. He’s my favorite reoccuring guest. Puts GV right in his place. Love him.
Could be my favorite episode.
QOTD: Hopefully next year.
I agree cash is king. If you are cash heavy right now, you can do what ever you want.

Thanks for coming on Sasha, great episode!

Loved the show! What a wonderful father son relationship to see. My mother was from Brazil and I love the passionate banter between you two. Reminded me of my family, my husband used to think my family fought all the time until he realized it was just passion.

You should have him on the show at least annually!

QOTD: don’t know, hope it will get better before the government ruins it.

Three simple words…..”I LOVE SASHA”!! Fun show!

QOTD : when will we pull out of this economic mess? When people start taking responsibility of their actions and start holding each other accountable!!

Loved it! That Vaynerchuk Senior is a kick too. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall for your family dinners…this was a good taste of it. Thanks!
