    This week on the Brilliant Idiots Podcast, Charlamagne and Schulz recap their weekends, including Mel Robbins’ live show, and dive into everything from self-help culture and live podcasting to parenting struggles and the truth about making money in media. They get into the Diddy allegations, emotional abuse, and conspiracy talk around the Boule (aka the Black Illuminati), then pivot to sports—debating the face of the NBA, the Knicks, and the legacy of stars like Steph and MJ. Things wrap with a deep convo on politics, corruption, the housing crisis, and why so many people feel let down by the system. Real talk, wild takes, and plenty of laughs—don’t miss it. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Pre Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB The Wind on Her Tongue - Anita Kopacz https://a.co/d/fWDancH I Lived to Tell the Story: A Memoir of Love, Legacy, and Resilience - Tamika D.

    In this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz go all in on the wild court case surrounding Diddy and the explosive allegations made by Cassie. We unpack the twists and turns of trafficking laws, what consent really means, and how celebrity culture both fuels and complicates these stories. From real talk on sharing trauma online, to celebrating Black love and Black-owned businesses, we cover it all. We also dive into how porn shapes society, the tough truths about healing after trauma, and why the Marvel Cinematic Universe might just be falling off. Then things get political: we question the shady moves of elected officials, the impact of presidential decisions on the Constitution, immigration drama, and how foreign money is creeping into U.S. education. We’re calling out bribery, fake unity, and the ridiculous theater that is American politics. It’s raw, it's real, it's ridiculous—and you're not gonna want to miss it. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Pre Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB The Wind on Her Tongue - Anita Kopacz https://a.co/d/fWDancH I Lived to Tell the Story: A Memoir of Love, Legacy, and Resilience - Tamika D.

    In this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz are diving headfirst into the wild world of pop culture, starting with the Met Gala — the ultimate mix of fashion, fame, and WTF moments. From iconic looks to celebrity cringe, we break down what this event really says about society (hint: a lot). We give props to style legends like André 3000 and talk timeless queens like Lauryn Hill. We get into the magic of live theater, from the next-level production behind Stranger Things: The Play to what Broadway’s evolution says about the future of entertainment. Expect hot takes on storytelling, innovation, and why Broadway still hits different. We also unpack the chaos of modern media — clickbait culture, shady headlines, and the pressure to stay “authentic” in a world that rewards shock value. From political spin to celebrity drama, we explore how media shapes the way we think, talk, and argue. Oh, and legal drama? We’ve got that too. From wild lawsuits in the sports world to Tom Brady’s mentorship moments and the outdated nonsense behind “alienation of affection” laws, we cover it all. Plus: why getting your mom a gift is harder than it should be and what a Brilliant Idiots movie could actually look like. It’s a ride — fashion, fame, theater, law, media, and a bit of heart. Let’s go. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Pre Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB The Wind on Her Tongue - Anita Kopacz https://a.co/d/fWDancH I Lived to Tell the Story: A Memoir of Love, Legacy, and Resilience - Tamika D.
