    QOTD: 49ers 20 Jets 10. I was planning on attending the 500th but couldn’t due to a cold. Sorry I missed out, sure looked like fun. Brandon looks better with horns.

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    Congrats on 500, even if I was expecting a bit more (silly me!) Jets 23 49s 17

  • Justin Stubbs

    One of the best shows in my opinion. I’m not yet old enough to be tasting wines but, since i saw the first episode I’ve been expanding my pal.

    Great Job On “Bringing the Thunder!”
    Looking forward to more Thunder show

    G,

    It was a fun night. Had a great time and it was good to see everyone. Thanks for the 500 eps and hope to see at least another 500.

    QOTD: 47-2?!?!? Fat F*&%ing chance. You and rest of your green leprachauns will be going home sad (a familiar feeling for Jets fans) to the tune of 28-10.

    J-E-T-S Suck!Suck!Suck!

    Great show!!!

  • Too much honking going on on this episode! Don’t sensor the man!

    I missed this episode by a few days… the day after you were in Portland I took off for San Francisco and went backpacking for 7 days in the Emigrant Wilderness from July 4th – July 12th. I had an awesome time, but too bad this taping wasn’t just a few days later!

    BTW, the day after we got back we went wine tasting in Lodi… a very interesting experience, much different from what I’m used to in Oregon. Glad I did it, but out of the ~50 or so wines I had, I brought home zero. Bummer.

  • Stephen (lurker)

    Absolutely loved the show. There is no other wines I love more than that of Spain. Spain is the reason I got into wine and then further explored many other wines from regions all over.
