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.

    Gary, just about always love your show and your passion for wine but…
    I know that these guys are the trendy thing of the moment but so was the octomom and I haven’t seen her on the show, or will I?
    QOTD: 1990 Latour at around three hundred dollars.

  • Cameron J

    Not my gig, but I’ve never seen them before so I probably just don’t get it.

    QOTD: Probably a couple bills for some Bordeaux. And, no.

  • chuy

    Very dissapointing gary!, i wanna beat that stupid Amir kid, pummel him till he craps his pants!!!!!!
    QOTD: YES I WOULD BY THAT BOTTLE FROM HIM THEN BREAK IT OVER HIS HEAD!! BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT.Dont ever have these retards on the show again, thanx. GO CHARGERS!

  • Moz

    Hey Gary,

    You should have slapped those guys around the head. Morons. Didnt do it for me. I love your shows and find them really informative and so enjoyable. But, I turned this one off half way through as those guys just annoyed me. No reflection on you or your incredible show but I would not be interested in seeing those guys on the show again.

  • Wow, this was an interesting episode…

    I started off flat out weird, the chemistry between the guests and Gary was off, I was not enjoying it very much for the first 10 minutes or so. Anyone notice how Gary stared at Amir early on when he interrupted Jake during the intros? I thought that was funny

    But then it picked up, I kinda warmed up to Amir’s ridiculous style of humor, and laughed my ass off at the “For people who don’t know, what’s the difference between smelling and drinking” line.

    Overall it was a very odd episode, but I was delighted with the outcome.

    QOTD: $0, as I am just getting into wine and have yet to even purchase some for myself.

  • BT86

    Amir was trying way too hard to be funny and it just failed. He came off like a guy who can’t be funny off the cuff, but must be funny in a high-production way I guess. Whatever…I liked the other guy though. Show was tough to work through…probably my least favorite so far…just sorta felt like you were stumbling through it…

    QOTD: You are an idiot

  • Oklahoma Michael

    Terrible

    Wow that was awful, a real train wreck. Gary, I guess your in your 30’s so why are you trying to act like your still a hip 20 year old?

  • Ericdor

    HEY! Jake and Amir are the best!!! (and to anyone who doesn’t know, Amir isn’t an idiot, he just plays one :P)

  • Jake -> Dumb,
    Amir -> Dumber.
    Jesus Gary, most of your shows are a base hit, and a few guest shows are even a home run or a rare grand slam (like Charles Smith from Walla Walla, get him back on). But this show was a foul ball. And the foul ball went up into the stands and knocked a poor old lady unconscious. Thats how bad this show was.

  • I can’t outright disagree with the majority of comments. The show was pretty uncomfortable to watch, but it’s not because those guys are stupid. Jake and Amir are playing characters for this episode. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work well in this format.

    Shut up chuy

    GV, I don’t want to be too negative, but that was painful at times. Sometimes people try too hard to be funny and they wind up being annoying. I am sure these guys are actually nice and often funny, but not here. Still, I have liked many of the college humor videos that I’ve seen…

    Also, I tried the Pesquie a few months ago and actually enjoyed it. I had it with a meal and wasn’t ‘rating it’ in my head, but felt it was better than the experience you had with it here.

    QOTD – great question – I’ve spent over $75 on a wine, and would NOT spend twice the price on it – no matter who was the salesman.

    GV,

    Dont want to be rude or anything just calling it like I see it, but this episode was very annoying, the first college humor video was much better… waaaayyy better

  • Adam Wallstein

    Afraid this was a major VaynerPAZZZZZ and a Vayner-clank to boot. A tiny bit of interest in wine would perhaps have balanced out the goofiness… Oh well.

  • Amir laughing his ass off, why was that funny? Because it wasn’t in English! Hilarious and silly, but Amir crushed it, he got those smells quite nicely. Natural palette especially froa first timer who usually we see just smelling “alcohol”.

    QOTD: Most expensive bottle, $50 wold I buy it from Amir for twice the price? The entertainment value alone is worth twice the price.

    Not really sure what to think about this episode, it was kind of funny and unprofessional at the same time…not my favorite episode Gary…sorry 🙁

    I will admit…the last 30 seconds of the show had me in stitches!!

    Gary- this episode was no good, man. No good. I appreciate the fact that you make an effort to reach out to the college crowd and others that are new to wine and looking for the bargain plays, but when you’ve got people on who’s only m.o. is to futz around the whole time and who left with the same opinion on wine that they came in with- I think you’ve got a failed effort. Sorry Gary- I’m a huge fan of the show but these episodes just make me itch.

    Gary, Why waste your time with these dorks. They look miserable. Have on people that enjoy wine, not beer guzzling douche bags.

  • NY Pete

    QOTD … you call that humor?
