0:00.0	Hi, stacks listeners. Everything is okay. I am alive and well. I am just here today to share with you one of my absolute favorite podcasts.
0:17.0	It's called Vibe Check and it's hosted by Sam Sanders, Sy Jones and Zach Stafford.
0:22.0	I have never, ever, ever in the five-year history of this podcast ever allowed another show to run in this feed.
0:29.0	But I love Vibe Check so much. I felt like it was an obvious choice to share my favorite show with all of you.
0:35.0	I know that if you like the stacks, you will love Vibe Check.
0:39.0	Basically, the show is these three friends taking their group chat to the public airways.
0:44.0	They talk about pop culture. They talk about politics. They talk about current events. They talk about how those things make them feel.
0:51.0	They talk about it in the most fun way. I promise you, if you listen to the show, you will never look at a Snickers bar the same way again.
0:58.0	I am such a big fan of Syed and Sam. I've had them both on this podcast and Zach has an open invitation to join me whenever he wants because I'm a huge fan of his too.
1:08.0	The episode you're about to hear is a recent episode they did where Sam, Zach and Syed talk about their modern scripture.
1:15.0	Basically, these are recent texts that they revisit over and over and over to help them find comfort, clarity, something bigger in these crazy, crazy times.
1:26.0	I found the episode so comforting but also extremely generative as I tried to think about what are the texts that I revisit over and over.
1:33.0	I struggled with this assignment as you will hear so did Syed so I feel happy to at least not be the only person who was flailing as I looked at my bookshelves of all of the things that I revisit.
1:44.0	Though I think for me, heavy certainly makes the list and also the first chapter of Sula.
1:50.0	There's just something about the bottom that I cannot get out of my head and my heart.
1:54.0	Anyways, without further ado, I'm so excited to introduce you to Sam, Sanders, Zach, Stafford, and Syed Jones and their wonderful podcast by check.
2:03.0	The show comes out every Wednesday just like the stacks and you can get it wherever you get your podcasts.
2:09.0	Trust me, you want to listen, you want to subscribe and go ahead, rate and review.
2:14.0	And while you're at it, be sure to tell a friend about Vibe Check.
2:18.0	That's what I'm doing here. You're my friends. Go listen to Vibe Check.
2:22.0	Okay, I'll let the guys take it from here. Enjoy.
2:27.0	Hey, my lady readers. You bastard.
