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.

    gary + sasha – lunch + gefilte fish + don alfonso – mott’s shirt = pure comedy

    qotd – i agree with GV, let’s stick to wine…we can go to a million other websites to discuss politics but there’s only one WLTV 🙂

    Hey Gary,

    This is actually the best episode I have seen. Your father is a very cool outspoken person. Reminds me of how my father acts serious and with allot of carisma.I thought the last 10min when you were just remenising, drinking and eating were great. I also wanted to say that I dont think WLTV is to long I actually think sometimes its to short and wish it were longer.

    QUESTION OF THE DAY: I am a fulltime equity daytrader so my answer to this question is to long due to my envolment in the markets but to make it short
    PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT THE CREDIT CRISIS BUT THE UPCOMING CURRENCY CRISIS. You can pump money into the system to fix a credit crisis but what do you pump into our currency after ? THAT’S RIGHT NOTHING.

    Fantastic Show. This was the funniest show that i have watched. I agree that you should support the President, but that is not to say that you can’t be critical of certain policies and actions by the President. I hope that President Obama is successful in the two wars we are currently in and the that the economy improves under his term, even though i did not vote for him. (Dirty Little Secret: Presidents do not have any control over the economy since it is so vast and ever changing.)

    QTOD: I think that the economy will be heading back up in a strong way in the last quarter of the year.

    Gary and Sasha, great show! The real-life father-son interaction is so poignant. I bought a bottle of the Don Alsonso cab (at Ian’s suggestion) and will settle your argument at our second-night seder.

    QOTD — the turnaround is starting already, but it will be spotty, not a smooth ride at all.

    My own QOTD:
    Sasha, what is that Portugese wine that blew you away? Tell us AFTER you’ve cornered the market for WL.

  • Fantastic episode. I was laughing out loud when Gary’s dad would stick it to him: eating before he should, drinking before he should, emptying his glass on the floor, dissing the “sniffy sniff”, arguing over Alfonso… just awesome. Best guest EVER. He should be Gary’s permanent sidekick.

    Quote of the Day:
    Gary: “Pretty good nose.”
    Sasha: “We’ll see.”

    Haven’t seen pops on b/f but totally enjoyed the banter. Your dad is priceless–brings a classic old-school view.

    Love the show. Keep doing what you do!

    Loved the show–loved watching the interplay between Gary and Sasha! Great stuff. You are very lucky. At this Passover time I definitely miss having parents, my father having passed away in 2006 and my mother in 1980. I never got to have my daughter and my parents together ever at a holiday. But I am so so lucky to have her. Wishing you a very happy Passover!

    Loved this episode. The antics of Gary and Sasha should make for a great future comedy team. It was hilarious just watching your dad eat through the entire episode until you pulled the plate away. Then he pouted. Bad Gary!
    As for the wines, I have yet to find a decent Kosher wine, although I must confess I have not looked very hard.

    QOTD: I think we are at the beginning of this crisis and although we see some light, I fear it is just a reflection of what’s to come.

  • GV, thank you so much for the Kosher Wine episodes. Loved this one – nice to see some of the less-available brands (at least here in Ohio). We had a 2006 Herzon Cab for First Night – wasn’t too bad!

    QOTD: Buckle in – your taxes are about to show you how much you “bailed out” all of these companies.

    corked bottles of wine – 1 in every 350
    GV dropping a kiss on Sasha – 1 every 9.15 minutes
    Sasha going to the headslap – 1 every 13.73 minutes
    Sasha as a guest on WLTV – priceless (I mean that, I have “no hidden interest” in getting my comment read in saying that whatsoever.)

    QOTD: The same beautiful democratic process that allows for us to elect a representative leader in our President divides our country along political lines after election. I agree with Sasha. The election is over – support our President.

  • jigger

    Forgot to finish my thought on the QOTD – support, non-partisan support, is the only way to get a sound fiscal policy into place going forward to lift us out of this crisis.

  • I love the interplay between you and your dad. You should have him on your show more often. You guys play off each other well. Makes the show extra entertaining.

  • Jeff R

    Gary –
    Incredibly funny episode. I have not seen past episodes that have had your dad so this was my first encounter. Gosh, he interrupted you – good for him. The dialogue about the Don Alfonso – great – you couldn’t even script somethig like that. He sure puts you in your place – nice to see.

    I am not a kosher wine fan, therefore the wines meant little to me although I would have to say the episode was one of the better ones.

    QTD – I’m guessing you will see some improvement in the key factors late this year with continual improvement in 2010. Ohio (Cleveland), which is where I reside, seems to always be about 6 months behind any curve unfortunately and we ave been hit very hard so a complete rebound will be difficult to come by.

    HA!! Gary your dad is so old school! Give wine to the baby — awesome!

    QOTD(1&2): Support the pres yes – but freedom of speech is the only way our system can work, and probably wont be for a couple of yrs yet before the downturn turns.

    If Sasha were the guest of every episode of WLTV, I’d watch every episode. He’s awesome. Give that man his own show!

  • QOTD: No end in sight, but I do think current policies (both parties) will help by next year. All we can do is keep plowing forward.

    I loved this show. Not perfect by any means, but fun and honest. Gary did we hear you call the baby “he” to your dad or is that a generic he?

  • Kai

    Fabulous episode! That kind of comedy can’t be scripted. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I know everyone wants to know what that mystery Portuguese wine is, but after Sasha’s opinion of the Alfonso do we really want to know?

    Gary, I didn’t see the other episodes with dad, but from this one it’s pretty clear where you get your “interrupting” skills.

    QOTD: The economy will start getting better when we all stop worrying about it!
