    The eye roll from Sasha in the first 50 seconds is hysterical.
    And Sasha doesn’t spit! Excellent. Gary take a tip and drink the damn wine!
    Sasha is still my favorite guest.
    I have also worked for with my father for the past 12 years. Fun times. Entertaining in the least.
    QOTD: Yes!! Start your own show!
    Actually I vote for a Sasha and Mott show.

    Happy Father’s Day Vaynerchuks. Great show. Loved the back and forth. Definitely need to see what Sasha has stashed away at the farm in his cellar. It would be priceless if Gary were to “grab” a hawk and let it free in the cellar during the show. Would give us the opportunity to see Sasha in true hawk-fighting form.

    Sasha, I hear what you say. Isn’t fatherhood great? Then again, isn’t fatherhood great!? Gary here’s an interesting story on letting wine breathe. Some months back I bought and drank a bottle of Anaperenna. Two weeks ago I saw your episode on this wine. I swear your discription of this wine, although a little generous, was word for word my own. And this is why you were ‘wrong’. My first tasting,a half glass, was 4 hours after opening. Ok, but a little disappointing given the hype. I came back to it 24 hours later. Again half a glass. Could have improved a little but then it could have been the $44 I’d spent on the wine. I was prepared to write it off. Tried it for the third time the next day, 52 hours after openning. Unbelieveable!! In the glass, sniffy snif as you say, there was an explosion of aromas. Dark and red berries which transfered to the palate. The tannins were always soft, but now the texture was velet smooth, luxurious. Complex flavours right across the palate with a very long finnish. However, it wasn’t as full-bodied as it first appearred. During this time I never recorked the bottle. Drank the lot that night. All in all a facinating experience.

    Words cannot really tell the father and son story.
    Thanks for a really good time. I was smiling the whole show and laughed many times relating to the energy that comes from having a good time with dear old dad.

    I would love a show from Sasha’a cellar with or without Gary.

    I have been watching for a long time, but this is the first post. There is something about family that brings out the best/worst in all of us. Great episode!! Can’t wait to see your Dad’s cellar.

    Man, this episode is excruciatingly precious. I love the way you guys interact with each other. It is refreshing to see two masculine men who are not afraid to show their affectionate side. So is he going to go fishing with you or what? Can’t wait for the Sasha cellar episode. You are THE man Gary. Keep up the superb work.

  • Torque-it

    I truly appreciated this episode. Sasha should come on with an occasional episode as he feels able / willing to commit; it would be a good chance to give GV a break, and for us to enjoy his wit, wisdom, and palate.

    Go fishing guys. You won’t get any better quality time together than time spent on the water. Start now, and bring along Misha when she gets old enough to hold a fishing rod. You won’t regret it.

    Enjoyed the show – Sasha is a hoot. I think that you should let him talk about politics on Father’s Day – it is his day, after all.

    QOTD – Yes, that would be a good show in Sasha’s chicken coop.

    Great episode. Yes, I’d be interested in seeing your dad do his own show – but I hope to see him on future episodes of yours, too! He’s a great character, and you guys have some great chemistry together.

  • This was the best show ever!!! I could listen to GaryVee and his dad talk for hours. HILARIOUS!!!

    Yes, Mr. Vaynerchuk, please do a show. And, give Bobby Saturdays off!

    I miss my dad so much. He passed in 1994. I was only 24 when he died. He was really cool like Gary’s dad. Everybody loved him!

    You guys are GOOD PEOPLE! You bring a lot of joy to lots of people’s lives – except maybe your vendors. LOL.

    Rock on!!!!

  • Oh, and I almost forgot! I never got to go on a fishing trip with my dad! Mr. Vaynerchuk, make the time!!! Go with Gary.

    I miss him so much and would give anything to go fishing with him – and I don’t even like fishing!!!

    I love your dad. That’s nothing you haven’t heard before, though. WHY don’t you let the man indulge his political discussions on the show when he’s on? What’s the harm? It will be Sasha’s component, not yours, and I agree with him (maybe because I’m also 55 and because I come from a Ukrainian family that discussed politics 24/7) that there is no reason to shy away from either of the New World’s traditionally forbidden topics of politics or religion. What else is there that’s worth discussing? Okay, there is wine, and “we” discuss is on WLTV daily. Let’s discuss what Sasha wants to discuss when he’s your guest. Your other guests discuss their passions, no? And those are not always vino.
