Episode 1305: Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed on Magic and Bird 2, How CHH Has Changed and Derek’s Net Worth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Andy Mineo and Wordsplayed are back as Magic and Bird, and tell us all about the sequel to their 2017 cult classic album. We also get into the state of Christian hip-hop, why nobody is vetted anymore, and spend a genuinely uncomfortable amount of time guessing Derek Minor's net worth to his face.
In RELEVANT Buzz, the SBC voted to ban women from the pulpit and it wasn't close. Victory Boyd forgave Travis Scott and ended up in the studio with him. And Pharrell started his Christian rap era with a Voices of Fire song called "The One."
In Slices, someone claimed a religious exemption from using AI at work, and Derek has decided it might be the greatest finesse in history.
We also stop to mark World Refugee Day with an eye-opening conversation from the frontlines of Sudan about the world’s largest humanitarian crisis happening there.
Then One Has to Go closes it out: a suspiciously cheap dollar slice, Rambo in 2026, and the case against Shaq.
