Hey girl.

Oh, hey girl. Happy turkey week.

Happy turkey week. Happy birthday week to me.

Oh. My God, Sagittarius season is here.

The only sign that carries a weapon. And that makes so much sense.

Well, I'm Sayy Jones.

And I'm Zach Safford. and you're listening to Vibe Check.

Today we have a very special episode for you that is something near and dear to us, and it's been in our vault for a few months now.

So now we're releasing it into the world just for you on this very special day, Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

On today's episode, we're actually airing a conversation between our dear friend Sam Sanders and author Priya Parker that we think is perfect for this time of year. It's about her very famous book, The Art of Gathering, How We Meet, and Why It Matters. And Priya is actually a college classmate of Sam Sanders. So we had them join up together. And this was released on our Patreon months ago. So join the Patreon where you can get exclusive first look at some of our conversations. But now we're releasing it because Priya shares some incredible tips on how to gather with purpose. And if you're like me, you may be living Thanksgiving with a lot of notes for people. Saeed, do you ever have notes when you leave a big dinner party of things you wish had happened or did not happen?

No, I just like go with the vibe. Do you give people feedback? What? Oh, I will leave. Oh, this makes me so horrible. I will leave events and I'll look at crack and I'm like, I have notes now. And he goes, of course you have notes. And I just give feedback. And for me, I really think the coming together is a really important thing that we do.

And I think it's one of the most human things we do along with

storytelling so Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving week is a combination of both you come together

hopefully people you like or at least can deal with for the day and then through coming together

you tell each other stories about your year what you did what you hoped for in the future And so that's why we wanted to release this conversation. It's really a meditation on intention on gathering and what you can do to better show up when you're showing up for lots of people at one time. So yeah, you're not going to hear me and Saeed talk at all. We're just listening this week. We're going to be eating. Eating leftovers. leftovers. Say, do you have a favorite leftover from Thanksgiving?

Oh, God.

I love dressing. Yeah. Dressing with the pan berry. I love it. But also macaroni and cheese. Yeah. Love a turkey. I love turkey too. I'm pro-turky. I know people are anti-turkey. I also love a corn bread pudding. that's a very southern thing.

Yeah, that's good.

But I'm realizing, as we're speaking,

that the baked section I also love a corn bread pudding. It's a very southern thing. Yeah, that's good. Soflet.

But I'm realizing as we're speaking that the baked section of Thanksgiving is always the supreme section.

The meats, but it's the macaroni, the stuffing.
