    It’s Seahawks suck, or Seahawk sucks, but never Seahawks sucks. And, so, how did the Jets do last year?

    GV–Thanks for using my Seahawks bucket (even though you threatened to spit only bad wines into it!). The bucket will have a prominent place in my home and will be used by Seattle Vayniacs for many tastings to come. I went out and tried to find the 06 Cougar Crest after the show, but could only get the 05 on short notice, which wasn’t quite as good. That was my favorite white of the morning.

    So, you drafted Brandon Morrow for your fantasy team? Good choice. He should be with the big club soon, especially the way the bullpen has been hitting batters, walking runs in and giving games away. JJ Putz will need some solid pitching ahead of him when he gets back from the DL–Morrow is probably that guy again.

  • Gary, another live show. Is CAA sending you out to flesh out the live demo reel? Proof of concept – this guy is live TV material?

    On live shoots, I suggest a collar mic.

    Also, I think it would be fun to have a second cameraman. Or maybe a fan with a video cam. If they can give you the footage quickly, you could edit fan reaction shots, etc.

    Hey Gary–I haven’t even finished watching this episode, but your sincerity from the get-go is overwhelming. I’m a big fan (have been since day one)–and it is shows like these, where you talk about how humbling this all is (having even one fan), that makes me misty-eyed! You bring the thunder 24/7–for this we are the lucky ones! And the wine, yeah, that too is only secondary to the bigger picture! Cheers from OH-HI-OH (let us Buckeyes know when you are coming this way!)
