Hey everyone, welcome back to the GaryVee audio experience. Once again, I'm Jacob from Team Gary and today we have a very special edition of the podcast.

It's a friends giving episode that Gary does with all of his best friends from when he was a kid.

Rob, Andy and Eric, they talk a lot about their childhood, how they met funny memories and stories.

We really hope you enjoy this one and have a happy Thanksgiving.

People that know you from social media and Instagram, whatever, they'll approach me occasionally.

I'm like, oh, yeah, every see GaryVee and I'm like, yeah, I kind of know who that is.

He's in acquaintance. Is that really who he is? And I'm like, dude, you have no idea.

He's the team version of Michelle. I don't know where you get the energy, the drive, but I mean, it's a blessing.

And you've done so much good with it, man. It's just incredible.

This is the GaryVee audio experience.

VaynerNation, this is a very special friends giving episode of the GaryVee audio experience.

And for this friends giving episode, I haven't decided if we're going to air this on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the Saturday after.

But somewhere here in a couple of weeks, we're filming this on the 7th of November.

We're going to put this episode out and AJ told me yesterday at the Jets game that this is going to be the first podcast he listens to in years.

So that's all you need to know about what you're about to get here.

So I get to introduce my three best friends growing up.

They represent so much to me. For many that really follow me, we've talked about Edison, New Jersey so, so, so much.

And I talk about all that. The only rule I told these three best friends of mine was, I need you to come and fly in because Robbie Ternick to the right of me.

And I'm not sure if you're still in the area, but Eric Godfrey has left. And that name may be familiar for some of you, the hardest core fans because Eric Godfrey is the human being that made me a Jets fan.

And probably for me personally, the one that excites me that's in the room the most, only because I've had the luxury of jamming with Eric and Robbie a lot over the last decade through Jack Games and such.

And I'm going to talk to Carolina is Andy Greco, who also left the area recently was living in Jersey, but now lives in Florida. Andy Greco was the only one of these three that was in my actual grade.

Robbie was a great young, Greg was a great older and moved into Edison in my second grade year, but left in the middle of six or the beginning of seventh grade.
