line of the day – ‘did you really think I missed those eyes you made at the camera just then, I OWN this space.’

Good laid back episode, glad the guest said ‘no’ a couple of times and stuck to his guns when asked if he detected a particular flavour. Most guests cave in immediately and say yes, even though you know they haven’t tasted it. As GV says, there is no right and wrong when it comes to one’s own palate.

    Tim F has inspired me to leave a comment….

    QOTD: It will end when the lights turn off.

    I am off to pick up a bottle of Relentless.
    Good Choice Gary!

    I almost forgot, it will end well, so long as family is there to support you.

  • Watch were you watching?

    QOTD: It will end when the sun expands large enough to swallow every short of Jupiter or when Heidi Montag wins a Grammy.

    Along with your guest I say: Cote Roti ROCKS. The one that got me was a 2000 Eric Tessier.
    QOTD: Never. It’s “Relentless”.
    Geez that was bad, wasn’t it?

    Veronica: The answer is Kevin. Way too easy.

    How about the name of Jessie’s stepbrother?

    TimF!!! Nice one boys. Good to see you again, even if in virtual space. Gary will be great Dad. It will end when A.J. executes a hostile takeover.

  • Love that Chi-town is representin’! Decent laid-back episode, perfect for the couch. The show will never end, it will remain passed down though the Vaynerchuk generations and will continually morph to keep up with technology. At least until I’m too old and decrepit to watch the show. Gary will also make periodic guest appearances even in advanced age.

    Quite a weird show – it came across like the guest was trying to be a bit of troublemaker.. maybe just trying to stir Gary up a bit? The drinking straight away thing was very weird.

    QOTD – never!

    Nice sofa show. Fun to watch and hear some little back story.

    I had some Shafer some years ago and it was very rich and worth the $.

    QOTD: It ends when you retire and die of boredom.

    I took a few days off and have several shows to catch up on.
