line of the day – ‘i think I just puked a little’

You can count the episodes of WLTV that I don’t like on one hand and I’m afraid this one goes on the list. The two guests added nadda to the wine chat, threw GV off his stride, and most importantly weren’t anywhere near a funny as they thought they were. Shame as the first college humour episode was a winner.

    i laughed my ass off. where did you find these guys ? ??cocoa puffs on the back end ?? it just goes to show that you don’t really get in to wine until you get older, more mature, and more experienced.

    my real question, though, are these guys are in college ? what are they learning, and how did they get in to the higher learning institution in the first place ? and the video was stupid college humor. isn’t that what it was supposed to be ? (btw, i am old enough to be their dad and wondering where did my money go on that college education ?)

    QOTD: the most expensive wine i bought was a 1945 bordeaux for a bargain price of $ 250. it is still in my collectables section.

  • Brad R

    Is college humor paying for some time on your show? Why do you keep having these idiots on your show?

    Very frustrating to watch this video. I enjoy watching people that know more about wine and can teach me something. I don’t want to see people that know LESS!

    Gary saved it for the most part but a good glass can’t fix a crap wine.

  • Gary,

    I normally enjoy your shows (some a ton like the one with the German Wine director or the ones at Cru)… I am sorry, but I did not enjoy this one at all, I actually skipped through most of it and watched just your tasting notes… Some of your past guests have been spectacular and added much to your already great repertoire… You should consider heading to the Warner Building at Columbus Circle and doing a show with Andrew Bradbury from Clo, you will love his concept/place and he is a really good guy, with lots of knowledge as well as personality… Great place to do your show, amazing spot with a killer backdrop!

    All the best,

    Pablo

  • Gonna’ have to fling up EIGHT Z’s on this one. MAJOR Pass, super disjointed, let’s pour this episode out and move on.

    These two guests couldn’t have cared less, they seemed completely uninterested. Perhaps this is where the show is going with GV’s 2.0 celebrity play. Love you GV, but just saying.

    Came in as a fan of Jake and Amir. Their solo videos are RIDICULOUSLY funny, but I’ll agree that if you’re not used to their back-and-forth it would probably get a bit annoying. I’d say check out jakeandamir.com for 2-minute bites into the lives of J+A. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

    BTW, no I’m not in college, they are also no longer in college, but collegehumor.com is making some of the best original content there is online.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, thumbs down. SS Chris, write this down as not a great effort and definitely a pazzzzzzzzzzzz with 12 z’s.

    Hey Gary,

    Amir might be the only guy in North America who is more irritating than Dr. House. The Vayniacs seem to react well to guests who know something about wine and who add to our knowledge. But Jake and Amir can’t do that, and if they are not amusing [and they aren’t] they bring nothing positive and actually detract from your show.

    Really enjoyed this, Jake and Amir funny as usual. I also learned something today, vayniacs have a really bad sense of humor.

  • Dusty

    i actually appreciate you having people on your show that make it relevant to me. thank you. i might actually try to go get blitzed drunk on wine now.

  • KyBoy

    Wasn’t a huge fan of the episode either. I don’t agree w/ the folks that say you have to be mature or old to enjoy wine, but I do find it necessary to have people on your show who are at least INTERESTED in learning about wine. These dudes def have their place, but it’s not on WLTV.

    QOTD: 1996 Dom Perignon for my honeymoon at about $100 bones…it was good, but not what I had it pumped up to be.

    I understand doing one for the CKC, but man that was rough. Ouch. Next time, bring them to your place and ditch the 2nd grade cafeteria.

  • AUSSIE SAMMY S

    PAINFUL Episode GARY…..

    I’m sorry that would have been the worst show I have ever seen on WLTV. Beer or hard liquor should have been tasted on this particular show not wine. I like your guests to have at least SOME interest in wine….these two clowns didn’t give a rats ass about the wine…PLEASE PLEASE don’t have people on your show who don’t have any interest in wine…or you’ll probably lose me as a long time viewer.

    Have any of the college humor guests been good? Saw 615 and this(649)and didn’t care for either show. Even the Greg Ng show was mediocre and I’m a fan of his site. Stick with the Kevin Rose’e of the webworld. No more complete newbs to wine-drinking.

  • Stebe

    Jake and Amir I still like you.

    Half of these people seem to think Jake and Amir are real people. If you watched their show the idiocracy would make more sense to you.

    They appear to not be the best fit for the WLTV people.

    Hate and Vitrol here too, I think the College Humor guys are funny on their site, but this was pretty painful.

    QOTD: Most expensive wine? have to be Verite le Joie and Le Muse, about 175 each…they were phenomenal, blew my mind, both of them, and No, I wouldn’t pay more to buy them from Amir.

  • keara

    i love u jake and amir!!

  • Brad R

    These guys aren’t even funny on their own show, let alone yours.

  • Chris Short

    Gary, thank for rating some less expensive wines. The economy as it is, 10-12 bones is my price point. As far as the guests, they are funny dudes, but not on your show. I like WLTV because it isn’t pretentious, but I like the guests to care. Kevin Rose seemed like kind of a novice (like me) but at least he had interest in what he was doing and wanted to taste and learn more.

  • California Cab Lover

    I have to agree that this was not a good show. I also think the 2 major reasons being it was not funny and they (especially Amir) seemed to care less about wine and were not that interested in learning.
    At least your previous novice guests wanted to learn something.

    So the worst WLTV episode gets a sequel, huh? You’ve got a future in Hollywood, Gary!

    Probably the worst episode I’ve watched of WineLibrary.TV so far. I love the show, but these two homo’s need to go. Sorry, but don’t invite these guys or anyone like them on another episode. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to the next thunder show.

  • Joe L

    This was a great show, Jake and Amir are the best. I have never watched before, but after seeing your great taste in guests on the show, I plan on becoming a regular.

  • Bruton

    Yikes…. If this was the first, second, or even 10th episode of WLTV that I’d seen, I probably wouldn’t have come back for more. I understand where you’re going with the “get new people into vino” move, but I’d be more careful in the future so that the WLTV rep isn’t at stake.
