line of the day – ‘perception is bullshit’

Hilarious. I doubt if there is a subject that Gary and his old man can’t argue about and as usual it’s a load of fun. What makes it even better is that Sacha is the one person who can get the better of Vaynerchuk junior and that’s a rare event.

  • G-Man, glad you developed your amazing palate! Sasha is very easily pleased, which is sweet but… got to find that Portuguese wine! That made a big impression and we all love those WOW wine moments.

    Pure gold. This episode truly warmed my heart. So many classic moments, where to begin?

    “Sniffy Sniff? What is that? BULLSHIT.”

    Your father is a complete, 100% BADASS. And I agree with those who remarked upon Sasha rocking a Bond villian-esque look, though I detect a little Steve McQueen in there, too.

    TGIT! Enjoying a glass of screw-capped Carneros chardonnay 2007 unfiltered Saintsbury. Yum.So was the light pasta, veal and salad. The show made me nervous. Family can do that. But… we love you and your family. Congrats on the book deal. These are the good old days for sure. Happy Passover.

    talk about disfunctional relationships. Just goes to show that no matter how much we love our parents, they drive us crazy and visa versa

  • Great show Gary! When I was there today and asked Sasha to recommend a good bottle of Chilean red he handed me a bottle of the Don Alfonso Cabernet that you had reviewed last night. I’m on your dad’s side on this one. I prefer a lighter red as a table wine and this is just what I had in mind and the price! If I’m going to cut back this is the way to go for me.

    Probably the funniest episode I have seen yet. I couldn’t stop laughing at you two. I loved it.

    Love this show with your dad, Gary. About halfway through the show and sharing the laughter between the two of you, I got a little melancholy as I realized that 10 years ago today, my dad passed away.

    Enjoy moments like these and squeeze them for all they’re worth.

  • Gary,
    Lets go to the draft.
    Your dad rocks, and it’s like looking into the future when you both sit side by side. It’s truly special when he’s on, you’ll remember these times forever.

    Happy Passover.

    Hi Gary, I love your dad! I want to drink wine with you guys! 🙂

    You should definitely have him on the show more often!

    QOTD: I’m an optimistic, but I truly believe that the economy will spring back in a couple of years.

    Gefilte fish is made of carp, pike and whitefish. My grandmother used to make this years ago. She used to grind the fish herself.
    My mother always pulls out the Malaga for the Seder, but lately she has added some Kosher for Passover Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

    QOTD: Unfortunately, I think Obama is out of his league. He is my President and I hope he is successful for the sake of our nation (and the world too, as everyone depends on us). I think the economy will not turn around for the next 1 1/2 years. We can always drown our sorrow in $5.49 Don Alfonso!

    Next year in Jerusalem!

    Brilliant!
    The banter and camaraderie between father and son was for me, priceless. A great episode that was more fun than Disneyland. It?s all about family.

    Looking forward to San Diego this weekend Gary!

    QOTD: Spring or summer of 2010 God willing. And I believe that is optimistic. I also agree with other posts that the media is fueling the fire here.

  • Took a little time to get to watch this…it’s always great to see Sasha on the show. I think that we may find ourselves out of this economic crisis sometime around 2012-2013…

  • Sasha is always the best guest! He puts Gary in his place 😉

  • Gary, I see and hear a lot of Sasha in you! I also LOVE how he has no bones about putting you in your place!! I love you Gary, but I like to see someone pushing back. GREAT stuff, love to see you both bicker.

    Gary did not give away the sex, but I know its a girl in my gut!!

    Last but not least, the economy will turn around, and I wish more people would plan for this type of thing instead of trying to “keep up with the Jones'” and living their life will all the new expensive things that they really don’t need. Life is about your relationships and striving to be the best person you can be, not money and how much of it you have or don’t have!

    Intense debate over a $5 wine, now that was good entertainment. Sasha’s is the Man! Go Daddy Go! And speak your political views anytime. There’s truly nothing more interesting than watching a man with hard earned character speaking his mind, now that’s Gravitas!

    Your dad is the only one that can seem to talk over you. He seems like a fun guy and it look slike you guys have an awesome relationship. I enjoyed the kosher wine debate it sounds like the wines were a little disappointing.

    GV! This is what I’m talking about! You take on a completely different persona when Sasha is on the show and it is so fun to watch. I think you should have other family members on the show; it reflects well on you.

    On another note, I finally realized that your dad reminds me a LOT of an ex-boyfriend…is that weird?

    QOTD: I need this crisis to turnaround soon – graduating with a Master’s in a month won’t mean much if I can’t get a job…

    Keep it real.

    That would be awesome!

  • Awesome episode guys- Sasha’s badass.
    This is the first episode I’ve seen him at length in, and I’m surprised how no-frills, matter-of-fact he is, with you as a son!

    Good father and son banter, and I enjoyed imagining your nice, big family enjoying great Kosher wines and eating great old-fashioned food for Passover.

    QOTD: It’ll end when it ends- we’re still America.
