Episode 1298: Comedian Derrick Stroup, Charlie Puth's Gospel Moment & RAYE's Faith Turn

from The RELEVANT Podcast · host RELEVANT Magazine

The week, we’re joined by one of the funniest comedians going right now — Derrick Stroup, who has a fantastic new special on Netflix. He tells us how he got his start in comedy and why keeping things clean is an intentional choice.In RELEVANT Buzz, we dive into a new Gallup study that reveals 50% more young men say religion is very important to them than did just a few years ago. There’s a lot to unpack — including why young women are going the opposite direction. We then share a clip that went viral this week of Charlie Puth breaking down his favorite gospel song and why he “loves everything Church.” Then we check out RAYE’s incredible new single “Joy,” and her faith-filled album, ‘This Music May Contain Hope.’ In Slices, a guy in California got caught running a nationwide LEGO scam that you won’t believe. And a 91-year-old Ohio grandma ignored her wellness checks because … she was locked in on a video game. Then Would You Rather closes it out: Horse-sized ducks, finger guns, a raccoon with a grudge.Highlights:04:38 — RELEVANT Buzz: 42% of young men say their faith is very important 09:03 — Charlie Puth's gospel moment on the Terrell Show 17:51 — RAYE's new album and her faith story 29:59 — RELEVANT Recommends: Derrick Stroup on his Netflix special "Nostalgic"38:05 — Slices: The Lego pasta heist 42:44 — Slices: 91-year-old grandma blows off her wellness check to keep gaming45:05 — Would You RatherAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
