  • The Audacity of the Underdog (Under God)

    "Being an underdog doesn't mean you should think and act like one. Have some audacity." - Rodney

    Rodney draws from a variety of sources to illustrate how a combination of audacity and humility is the antidote to feelings of being underrated and overlooked. An episode about being underrated, and the audacity to want more for yourself, regardless.

  • The Cream Always Rises to the Top

    "Separation brings appreciation. Excellence and authenticity are that separation." - Rodney.


    Excellence and authenticity are rare -- two traits that usually exist exclusively. Inspired by a popular dairy-inspired expression, Rodney considers what happens when one is both excellent at what they do and excellent at being themselves -- a lethal combination. That's a god. The episode is chuck full of anecdotes, analogies, and examples that will delight you, make you think, and put you onto new things. An episode about what dairy can teach us about greatness.

  • Spiritual Intelligence: We Who Walk and Wrestle with God

    "I want to be God's friend. I’m pursuing a relationship and intentional in my walk with Him. I want to know God through and beyond the bible."

    In this nearly 45-minute episode, Rodney goes deep into his bag to craft this mind-opening monologue about spiritual intelligence, what it looks like, and how to develop it. He addresses a variety of things: the difference between religion and spirituality, how atheists are made, how demons are made, the definition of God, those who troll God and misinterpret the Bible, and connects it all to his own journey with God. If you're having a crisis of faith, this is especially for you.
    Featuring Dave Chapelle, Katt Williams, Tristan Tate, J. Cole, Bruno Mars and Dr. Jordan Peterson.

  • Bad Religion: The Curious Case of Nigerian Christians

    "I’m churchless, not Godless. There’s a difference. That most Nigerian Christians can’t see this in 2024 is quite telling." - Rodney

    Rodney is not a churchgoer but in this episode, he takes Nigerian Christians to church in defense of Christians who don't go to church. He holds them accountable for being judgemental of non-churchgoers, prioritizing church over charity, and pedestalizing pastors, among other things. He lists the things he appreciates and dislikes about the Nigerian Church.

    Rodney gives reasons for not attending church while shedding light on his philosophical approach to faith and worship. He also shares a cool story about the first and only time he attended Sunday Service at Koinonia out of curiosity.

    • An Ode to Competition: The Advantage, the Edge and the Spirit (SIDE B)

      "You don’t always need a competitive spirit but you should have skills... knowledge... that gives you an edge."

      Rodney continues by himself where the previous episode left off. He asks those who deny their competitiveness: Are you naturally non-competitive, or did you LEARN to be non-competitive? In this episode, he debunks myths about competition that have infiltrated our culture; and he makes observations of people's general attitude to competition, their lack of competitive fire, and the reasons for this.
      This epsiode will challenge your biases about competition, collaboration, and ambition. It will also bring out the ethical competitor in you.

      FEATURING Lil Wayne, Katt Williams, and Kanye West.
