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.

    hey guys great show!!! Tim you rule, I would love to have watched all of them… here is an idea, how about a DVD with the first 700 shows on it, to be given away for free with the purchase of blah blah blah, you know the drill… but seriously, it would be very cool. that way I could watch on long flights to Asia (no internet), etc.

    QOTD: It will end when Gary visits Costa Rica again with his son, Robert Anthony Vaynerchuk and Lizzie and realizes that paradise is only 4 hours away from Newark airport…

    Nice episode, but for one second at the very beginning I thought Gary had invited a young Robert Parker!! Curiously enough, just recently I met in Vinitaly (I am Spanish myself) another spitting (???) image of the man from Maryland, his name is Mathieu Turbide and works for Le Journal de Montreal…

    Tim was a great guest and it looks like you picked some pretty good wines. It will never end as long as wine and Gary are still around!

  • G.V. way to reach back to the fan base and give your supporter some play time, especially on the coveted Thunder Couch. It’s a good thing, and shows your love for your people…maybe you could figure out how to do a periodic contest with members of the VaynerNation and bring the winner some spotlight as well.

    QOTD: Things do not end, they just change…WLTV will only get better, maybe become its own network…there is much wine education to be done.

    Great job Tim, except everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that Kahuna came up with the term “Vayniac” and that he also does the spreadsheet. Other than that, you were spot on.

    QOTD- It ends well. Cheers!

    Great guest. Gary was OK, too.

    QOTD: It ends in a week, when Gary decides he’d rather sleep than film yet another episode of his 268th-most-important life project.

    AC stands for Albert Clifford. Come on, you gotta know these things. SBTB is like the greatest show of all time. Loved the episode.

  • Paryb

    That was a super cool episode guys.

    Wow Tim F what a QOTD, were you channeling a little bit of “The Truman Show” there?

    anyway, “How will it end?” one of the most popular and poignant answers to that question is “with a new beginning” could that mean baby vaynerchuk? EEP! Not yet Gary! Haven’t had enough thunder yet!

    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!
