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

Sorry GV.. this was bad… obviously there was no chemistry, that Amir guy cannot get out of character, and he was trying to hard to be funny and he became a muppet in the end. If you get past the ear-piercing nasal whine of Amir and lameness of the other guy, the reviews were not too bad, you took on 90 point wines and found them not to be up to par. Just try to stay off the trends, and stick with wine people, or people who are novices but actually want to be educated on wine. That would be interesting.

I don’t think the regulars to the site get the shtick that jake and amir do. There were both doing the bits they usually do. I really enjoy the characters they play and I got the jokes. I’m sure if Gary wanted them to be out of character he would have asked. I enjoyed it. I am not a regular to winelibrary.com but I am going to subscribe because I love wine and because Gary did a good job even with the satire.

Jake and Amir fan here… so ace. Everyone dissin on Gary for putting them on the show: he knew what kind of comedians they were and he chose to put them on. They were hilarious as always, and just cause you don’t know that kind of humor doesn’t make it bad. I enjoyed every second that I watched. AND I learned something about wine. Beat that bitches.

I loved these guys! They were so silly. And Amir is really very funny.
The commentary above is so weirdly uptight and pissy. I guess everyone has their own “palate”.

I agree 100% with Jay’s comment – please don’t take these guys to represent the CKC+ crowd. Probably one of my least favorite eps, but I sincerely hope that it doesn’t stop you from doing value shows with good <$20 wines.

Hey gary I thought the show was okay, I thought the last college humor episode was better though. I don’t post very much I watch your show from my zune, But I thought I would let you know what I think. Your are A natural host I like your style. WHERE IS THE ROOT BEER EPISODE?

People seem to be really upset over this episode, Yes it was alittle annoying BUT IT’S NOT LIKE YOU HAD TO PAY FOR IT 😉 Relax everybody. Listen to Alittle bob marley “the Road Of Life Is Rocky And You May Stumble, Too. So While You Point Your Finger Someone Is Judging You.”

A solid 5 minutes of good wine material. Too bad I had to watch 26 minutes of noise to see it.

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode…

Wow!! There’s a lot of hate spewed on the Episode. So the kids stayed in character?? so what? if you listen to Gary you know that you’re probably better off not purchasing any of the wines on today’s show. Also, the bit that Jake and Amir did and do… that is humor to the CKC kids and younger… ever see flight of the concords?? So just because it isn’t your humor doesn’t mean you should bash it. Gary keep doing what your doing.

QOTD: $40. Only if you were selling if for 1/2 off ;-).

I watch jake and amir on youtube and I am subscribed to their channel. But in this context they were just annoying.

This just didn’t work. They were in some sort of shtick coma and couldn’t take anything seriously and it made you look like you were working overtime to reign them in. Not a great format for their humor.

Gary,

Great episode as always. This one made me laugh for sure especially poor Amir. I actually felt bad for him watching that prank. 😉

QOTD: A $25.00 bottle of EQ Syrah. It’s a fantastic wine, but I would not buy it for twice the price every from Amir… No matter how hard he got pranked. 😉

Amazing Show! Jake and Amir is the best comedy show on the internet.
QOTD- $25/Yes

Wow, Gary, you’re getting some serious crap in the comments for hosting these two on the show. I’ve been a big CH fan for years now, but I did find them pretty annoying. What I did like about the show was that you helped expand the palates of some entry level wine drinkers, and succeeded in doing so…which has been your goal from day one.

QOTD: 1997 Cristal

These dudes aren’t funny, especially Amir. The Office is able to pull off awkward-funny, and these guys were no where close to getting it done (I assume that was their shtick). I love that GV tried to save this one by providing a little content and prodding the guests, but this still might be a bottom 10 episode… sorry fellas, maybe next time (do you even drink/enjoy alcoholic beverages?).

QOTD: $30 for a barolo that I wouldn’t pay $35 for, let alone $60.

Rough show! We waited 3 or four days for this?
Don’t you always get strawberries on the nose and cranberry in the flavor on Rhone reds? The power of suggestion is HUGE! If someone tells me what I smell I can probably find it, but to the novice who can’t smell much it’s a bunch of hooey. Is a ten dollar 90 point wine as good as a hundred dollar 90 point wine?

QOTD 100 bones for 1985 Katheryn Kennedy Cab. Awesome.

So, I tried to watch wltv on itunes today, and the title was correct for this ep, but the actual video was the bacon episode, so I had to go to the website to catch this one.

Now I kind of wish I hadn’t bothered. I get these guys’ humor, but it’s a little on the obnoxious side.

Thanks for the effort in trying to keep the show moving forward, Gary, but this one was a dud.

Dang, peeps can be harsh!! So Gary went outside the box…wait…doesn’t he always do that? Watching the link of the prank was too funny!!!

I too think that Jake will be into vino some day.

Sorry Amir…I wouldn’t pay you double for my favorite.

Gary;
DO NOT stop doing shows that YOU want to do. DO NOT succumb to opinion of the majority. Be who you want to be and have guests that interest you. That’s what makes this show, “whether we like it or not”!

am i the only one that notice how much Gary kept on touching Amir??

I confess to being a lurker for about a year, but this show brought me out.
I Love the show and have learned more than I can express,,,,,,,,,,,,, But!
These goofballs are not funny. Unless stupid is funny then they are a riot.
Please leave the College kids alone. This was strike two. I wouldn’t chance a third time.

Disappointing show; must have been tough; Maybe they need a script

50 bucks; and I wouldn’t buy from Amir at half the price
yes I would; but not even 10% more
