Hello, ladies. Hi, sisters. Hi, sisters. Think about your favorite group chat. The one you can't wait to jump into every day. What does it do for you? It probably makes you laugh. Beyonce is actually secretly funny. She's very silent. I find it hilarious that Beyonce Knowles is talking about a 9 to 5, telling me to quit my job. But she ain't never had a 9 to 5. She ain't never had a 9 to 5.
y'all don't listen to her. It probably makes you think, too. I grew up in Tennessee, so hearing them say this, I'm like, see, I knew y'all thought this the whole time. You were lying in 2015 when you let us get our little marriage. You were lying when you let, you know, Barack Obama turn that White House to rainbows. It gives you some space to learn. We all have a moment when you realize, oh, I've been played. Oh, I've been, I thought we were playing checkers, they were playing chess. And some space to vent.
I am spiritually and emotionally ashy. I'm just... Not existentially dehydrated. Not that. Let me tell y'all what happened. Girl, I got some Aveeno in my bag. I might even have some Aesop.
I'm poet and writer Saeed Jones. I'm journalist and Tony Award-winning producer Zach Stafford. I'm journalist and podcaster Sam Sanders. We are friends, journalistic peers, confidants, and consumers of culture. And we are turning our group chat into a weekly podcast.
We're calling it Vibe Check because, well, for a long time now, that's what our group chat has been for us. We check in on each other and the news and the culture. We check the vibes. On our show, you'll hear us talk about a little bit of everything.
from politics. I'm over the white picket fence. We're just like you. We have the golden retriever too. And thus, please be nice to us and give us our rights. To pop culture. The whole story of Elvis is how he stole music from black people. So do a movie about the black people who made the music first. And anything else we want to with feeling. And from a decidedly black and queer perspective. You are personally invited to our weekly Kiki. So join us.
Vibe Check premieres August 17th. Follow the show or subscribe to listen on Stitcher, the SiriusXM app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Beyoncé, if you're listening, you know we love you. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And leave your man at home. Listen.
