Oyee, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. They say that in courts sometime. Where in England?

Like, where? I don't know. I'm just, literally, since Trump took office, I have been trying to become a little legal expert.

Oh, well, God knows he is, too, so I get it.

I'm not a lawyer or a judge.

I'm Sam Sanders.

I want to be Olivia Pope, but I'm not.

I'm Saeed Jones.

And I'm feeling very judgey today because of what's going on in the world.

And this is Zach Stafford.

So Judge Stafford is in court and you're listening to Vibe Check.

The three- us just all got to our homes after a fabulous weekend in Minneapolis where we were part of the Great Northern Festival, where we did a special Vibe Check episode around climate change in the Trump administration, which when we planned this festival visit three

months ago, we did not know what was coming for us and we sure dealt with a lot there.

Oh yeah. The day before our event, Trump was like, I want to cancel FEMA. Ha ha. Yeah, I was like,

whoa. So we pivoted our whole show and you'll be listening to 20 minutes of that show today on

Vib Check. Then after that,

we'll be diving into this weekend's Grammys. We have a lot to say about that, but mainly

we're really interested in the larger context of the music industry and its future. As tech, as

we've seen under Trump, is going balls to the wall, I guess, and they're doing whatever they

want. So will we see some resistance? What will the future look like for songwriters? We will see. But also, before we jump into our

vibe check-ins, I want to make a fun announcement. So as you listen to today's episode, if you go

over to our patreon.com slash vibe check, you can hear the entire episode from Minneapolis, live, unedited, unfiltered.

Well, it's a little edited, you know.
