QOTD: Being a founding viewer (Episode 1), I’ve learned that there are many other great wines out there to try (besides the standard from Cali). I’ve also put to use things mentioned like opening up a bottle and letting it breathe before taking it to a restaurant. All the things I’ve learned I’ve passed on to family and friends so YES I CAN save the show!

Excuse me, but what exactly does WLTV need saving from?

Since WLTV is ending at ep. 400, I think we can save it just by renaming the show!

‘Save the Show?? Save the Show??’

‘Excuse me?’

‘Well, a group of us Vayniacs are collecting money to buy the show a new kidney. Save the Show?’

‘Go piss up a flag pole’

‘I’m sorry?’

‘You should be’

since he is threatening to quit at 400. lets just keep leaving comments but WE will quit at 400 comments. That will show him

Interesting. Found this article:

“Not surprisingly, Mr. Vaynerchuk says he’s been approached by broadcast producers but will take his time before deciding whether to make the leap to conventional TV.”

Here’s the whole article:

QOTD — I’m stuck on this Jason Hicks thing I think GV would love for someone to put together a Jason Hicks style montage for episode 400, ie a redo of episode 125

GARY-you can NOT I repeat NOT quit wltv!!!!!!!!!! It’s out of the question vay-ner-chuk!!!!!!!!!All you have to wait is 3521 days until I’m 21! I reawakened the sniffy sniff and if you leave all i’ll be doing is sniffely sniffing. DUDE-COME ON WORK WITH ME HERE!!!!!!! Your not only lettin me down, think of all your fans. How many pretty’s do I have to put before please to make you realize what your doing is compleatly idiotic?? Hey man,you might even have some fans on the jets…… you don’t want to make them mad!! Do you?? You must have just had a temperary period of forgetfullness, and now you have realized your fans need you gv,and that you were not going to do 400 shows but 4000 shows!!!RIGHT?! AM I RIGHT? My dad always says,”never give up!” and “persevere!” so don’t let me down……………..and don’t back out of it right when we need you!!! Secondly,DON”T BE A WIMP!!!!!!The JETS will not be proud if you back away from your wine team now.

DO IT FOR THE WL FAN TEAM………………TO MAKE THE JETS PROUD!!!!!!!!!

QOTD I don’t buy wine unless you have tasted it in front of me and rated it highly. With you gone my purchases will drop off to nothing. Why not go to once a week with 10 to 12 wines.

I can save WLTV in my own little way by leaving a comment. We know that GV loves comments! Maybe the “thunder show” is leaving, but is there going to be a “Lightening show” in its wake?

QOTD…I will become a lifelong JETS fan to save the show. PLEASE dont leave me, dont leave us!!!. Dont leave my family. You are our favorite dinner guest.

‘the gum that goes squirt?’

I heard you smoke nob!
Then you do a sack dance
after your room mate opens up to you
Then you had some Boys to Men
and decided you like boys right after graduation
because they are more fleshy and explosive
and when you bite them they explode in your mouth
and yes for $40 or $60 you can get that same feeling

here’s the more suggestive one…hilarious

so many things ‘wrong’ with this ad, not the least of which are the kneepads

GV – For starters, Hope you are reading all the posts tonite. Collectively, the Vayniacs want to save the show. Why? Entertainment, education , fun, friendship, family (we are your extended family), changing the wine world. For wine lovers, You are our best web friend we have never met – we don’t want to loose that. You know, you always say that wine is the new “board game” for this era. bringing people together. I really think you are right. As such, not any one of us Vayniacs can save the show, we must all save it together, as we have been brought together by this show. How cool is that? You can’t walk away from that.

SO, a lot to think about tonite. How can we (the Vayniacs) save the show ??? We MUST save the show as this is far more fun & entertaining than pretty much anything on TV. Here’s my list of why the show must go on (assuming you aren’t just moving on to something bigger & better):

1) We know your ultimate goal – to own the Jets. How are you going to do that with out increasing your popularity (which I am guessing translates into more sales @ WL – I know I try to buy from WL when I can because I think you are a great guy providing a great service & I want you to profit from it ). WLTV is booming – you can’t hang it up now – you will NEVER own the Jets unless WLTV (or something bigger & Better) rolls on. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. We get tons of knowledge about great wines that we probably otherwise wouldn’t have know about – which leads us to buy those wines from WL – which leads to more happiness in our lives (by experiencing great wines) -and the sales lead you closer to the purchase of the Jets. I know you joke about it , but this is America & living the dream is what this country is about. You, my friend, are living the dream. You can’t give up the dream & We Vayniacs are here to help you see the dream become reality.

2) GV – do another Vayniac wine. Dude, I can hook you up to do a Vayniac GSM – don’t believe me? Challenge me & I WILL hook you up with world class fruit – send me an email – no BS – I have the connections. You can’t drop the Thunder Show while there is still a Vayniac wine in production. BTW – how can you drop the Thunder show with the Vayniac cab still in the barrels ?? Can’t do that – there must be some sort of rule against dropping out mid-project. There can’t be Vayniacs if there is no Thunder show & if there is no Vayniacs, there can’t be any Vayniac Cab.

3) Do it for the kids …. seriously, do you know how many kids watch you with their parents? Look at some of the comments. Vayniacs, do your kids watch with you? Do they think GV is the coolest, most RADOOL dude on the net? – Post it up – let GV know. My daughter (age 11) watches with me every nite. They are the future of the wine world. You ARE changing the wine world already. This next generation won’t think like the past – they will be Vayniacs ….. but only if the show goes on.

4) Changing the wine world – how can the wine world change if there is no one to lead the change? No WLTV – no change (assuming that there isn’t a bigger & better something on the horizon).

5) Personality – GV, you have too much energy & enthusiasm to hang this up. YOU will not be happy if you aren’t doing this. I think you get as much or more emotionally out of the show as we Vayniacs do. You were born to do this. It is your destiny. Don’t deny it.

In all seriousness GV, I put this post together for fun – but that is what this show is all about. We all would truly miss you if this were the end.

wow…sounds like you’re sharing a lot of your own pent up feelings there Kahuna…and it’s ‘knob’ by the way.

Bob,

Those are hilarious! I remember those ads. Can you still get Freshen Up Gum? Haven’t had it since I was a kid.

Geez Gary, I just hope this isn’t some BS like the ending to the Never Ending Story. You’ll be there in your cracking crystal tower saying, “MY NAME. SAY MY NAME J CRAZY. PLEEEEASE, SAY MY NAME VAYNIACS.” Then I’ll call you my mom’s name, my wife’s name, then my accountant’s name and in the end you’ll be like, “dude, my name’s GARY, you ass!” and then pass into oblivion. Or if it’s a rhetorical question like, “Can you save this child?” or “Can you save the Rain Forests?” and all us Vayniacs are nodding our heads like, “uh huh, that’s me, I can save it, here I goooo” then there may be futility in our efforts. But futile is never the cause to save something great. That’s why I propose for you to just change the name from “Winelibrary TV” to “Gourmet Library TV” or “Cheese and Wine For That Ass TV” or forget the first part and just “Ass TV”. I’m sure the Vayniacs would just ass soon be Assiacs. So, I say, destroy Wine Library TV and rise again, oh phoenix of glory, as “Gourmet Library TV” (Ass TV is pretty rad, too).
Or I can save the Winlib TV by doing it in Japanese from now on.

Gary got a rise out of yesterday’s comments. He’s totally bluffing.. aren’t Mr Chuk

Yeah I can save it GV, if you’re thinking about sinking the show I’ll throw in the life preserver! Maybe you will think twice before jumping again without your floaties. Now quit talking suicidal!

Dave,

Apparently so: http://www.groovycandies.com/GC2SearchResult.asp?SR=1&textfield=freshen+up

Yes! I placed a $500 order at Wine Library last week. I think my order and the 500 internet orders like it, will save WLTV.

I think this “6 More Shows” thing is another ego stroke like the episode where you said, “If I don’t get ### comments, the show is over”. I recognize it because my four year old, Max, does similar stuff for attention, and I too, do all kinds of crap to stroke my own go.

If the show is truly ending, I guess I will have an extra hour and a half per week of free time and I will probably go back to buying wine locally.
