The Brilliant Idiots

• Holy Tres

  In this #AskAnIdiot edition of The Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz keep it real on everything from girl dad parenting tips to dealing with those tricky convos with teenage daughters. They get into what it’s like trying to find personal space as a husband and father, plus how the media game and career opportunities are changing. The guys also dive deep into spirituality, religion, sin, forgiveness, and what it really means to question Christian beliefs. No topic’s off-limits—they challenge old ideas and talk about how faith can evolve. On the political side, they break down the why nuance matters, and how social services fit into the bigger picture. Sports fans get their fix too, with debates on NFL greatness, whether championships define a player’s legacy, and hot takes on athletes’ public images. It’s part parenting talk, part spiritual deep dive, part sports bar debate—and 100% classic Brilliant Idiots energy. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel https://www.simonandschuster.biz/books/The-Black-Family-Who-Built-America/Cheryl-McKissack-Daniel/9781668033999 Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God https://a.co/d/gpFlOol Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" https://blackeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  In this episode of Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz chop it up about everything from WNBA drama involving dildos, to why hair extensions might be messing with identity. They get real about living with ADHD, how society labels us, and why body positivity in ads still feels a bit off sometimes. The guys also revisit the classic TV show Martin, breaking down its impact on comedy, beauty standards, and the iconic roast battles between Martin and Pam. From there, the convo takes a serious turn—covering health scares like Lyme disease, the pressures on celebs to share personal stuff, and why some charity efforts miss the mark. They also dive deep into sports salaries, the politics of wealth, and how transparency (or the lack of it) shapes public opinion. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough—there’s talk of political corruption, AI taking over, and the looming risk of nuclear war. Just a casual chat, right? *** NOTE This episode was recorded before Trump's social media post*** ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel https://www.simonandschuster.biz/books/The-Black-Family-Who-Built-America/Cheryl-McKissack-Daniel/9781668033999 Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God https://a.co/d/gpFlOol Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" https://blackeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  On this week’s Brilliant Idiots episode, Charlamagne and Andrew are all over the place (in the best way possible). They chop it up about everything from escaping reality with movies to how kids’ shows handle gender representation. Hunter Biden’s wild crack comments? Yeah, they go there. Political convos, messy workplace relationships, and the pay gap in the WNBA all get their shine too. Of course, celebrity culture gets its own spotlight—Ray J’s name definitely comes up. The guys keep it real about social media, public perception, and how we hold people accountable. They even take a moment to reflect on the cultural impact of The Cosby Show and the tragic loss of Malcolm Jamal Warner, plus how TV keeps evolving. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God https://a.co/d/gpFlOol Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" https://blackeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.

• The Ep-Files

  This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz dive into today’s wild political and cultural landscape. We’re unpacking everything from what it really means to be an adult in this chaotic world to the drama surrounding Trump, the Democratic Party, and the much-talked-about Epstein files. Expect real talk about why holding politicians accountable actually matters, how media shapes what we believe, and why foreign policy hits closer to home than most of us realize. We’ll get into the rise of younger Democrats, the messiness of identity politics, and what’s next for a fractured Democratic Party. Social media’s role in all this? Yeah, we go there too. Plus, we take a fun detour into pop culture—think DC Universe, Superman, and how media reflects who we are. If you’re curious, frustrated, or just want to understand the consequences of the choices our leaders make, this episode’s for you. It’s all about staying informed, questioning the narrative, and figuring out how we can actually make change happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
