This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

Nick Dio, my team said, hey, I think Strauss should be on your show.

I'm like 100%.

Being invited to a Strauss party, maybe nine years ago,

in the tech kind of media scene was a super highlight for me.

And some of you who know me know that Ben Lair is a very good friend of mine.

And earlier that, like three months earlier than that party, Ben and I,

you know how guys or gals get into a meme of something that's funny to them?

Somehow, a movie called Goolies became this really funny thing for you know that movie?

It's like a life guys, the pop culture is like a life movie.

Was it? I thought it was a horror movie.

Yeah, it was a little bit of both.

Here's the punchline, somehow at Sundance, this movie Goolies, which I didn't know about.

But then in this weekend, it became the most important thing in my life.

So then a couple months later, we go to Strauss's house for this event or what have you.

Somehow we're not a lot of people are left.

And somehow me and Ben are just somehow it gets referenced.

Goolies, like we say something.

It's like the inside joke, it's the meme.

And Strauss goes, I made that movie, which to this day is a top, like 10.

Strauss and I have not spent a whole lot of time together.

We have a lot of mutual friends.
