line of the day – ‘we need a Mott cam’

Basically GV could say to Mott – ‘this smells like Bruce Willis’ arse on a Friday’ and Mott would reply – ‘Yeah I get that’. Here it’s ‘sardines’ that GV bowls out there and the Mottster picks it up immediately! Comedy value very high

    Another good show GV. I'm gonna have to see if I can't pick up a bottle of that 05 and give and a whirl. About the chalkboard, is that a reference to the Black Eyed Peas and maybe what you are listening to? Just wondering.

    QOTD: I'm listening to my daughter in the other room trying to sing a long with Taylor Swift, and I'm trying not to throw her and her radio out the window. I'm watching news, random YouTube videos, ESPN and the build up to the SB, and different programs that concern the paranormal. Oh and I'm still going back and watching past episodes you have done. And I'm not reading anything at the moment, other than news articles online, some blogs, and of course the comments section.

  • flavasauce

    I loved Open, read it over xmass.

  • Not too sure what happened to the comment I posted earlier when the comment section went 'old school' for a short while…In any case, here is what I posted earlier:

    Great show Gary…I am learning something new with every WLTV episode.

    QOTD 1: The Big Show on WLPJ.
    QOTD 2: Triple D or Good Eats on Food Network.
    QOTD 3: The latest issue of Men's Health Magazine.

    As you can see, nothing overly intellectual…just entertaining, like your show.

    Keep up the great work, guys!

  • Anonymous

    Especially the poop smellin’ wines

  • I have to say I was approached at the park while wearing a WLTV T-Shirt. Not exactly 'picking up chicks' since I was there with my wife and kids and she with her kids… We proceeded discuss how low key Gary is (not).

    But the shirt sure gets them!

  • I'd love to know what he was saying….”let's give it a whirl”?

  • Anonymous

    I have read the whole Song of Fire and Ice sries so far. Waiting painfully long for the next book. He has written the next great series since Tolkien. Better actually.

  • ahahah I'm only 5 min 30 sec in while posting this, but I just had to shout out to that Jay-Z reference 😀

  • CBone

    I've got some Cahors in my basement! I love that region.

    QOTD:
    Listening – Tom Waits “Mule Variations” (actually this moment I am listening to him)
    Reading – Ballast Architecture Registration Exam Study Materials for general structures and lateral forces

    Interesting Cahors fact: Can't confirm this, but I read that Cahors was Hemingway's favorite wine.

  • KnightWKNF

    Long time Lurker first time poster…. You called me out Gary…

    HUGE fan of the Black Wines of Cahors.
    Definitely would agree with adding the Mot the came I think it would very amusing to see his reactions to the wines that you say are so good for you and you can definitly here that are not so good for him.
    QOTD: Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Was watching Wine Library, don't really watch anything on tv anymore, and reading either Belgarath the Sorcerer or Wine Spectator. (Just finished Crush It in a one day sitting excellent book by the way.)
