    This week on The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into award show chaos, Tourette’s, coprolalia, and why outrage culture always feels selective. The guys break down the BAFTAs controversy, viral misinformation, and how moments get edited (or not) to drive headlines. They also get into American politics, social media propaganda, and why MAGA’s messaging machine consistently outperforms Democrats online. From Gavin Newsom discourse to what voters actually want in 2026 and 2028, the crew debates hope vs. results, “not Trump” politics, and whether governors are the future of the presidency. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Download Cash App Today: [https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/zt3hy9x9] #CashAppPod.

  • Bye Bye Conspiracy
    Feb 20 2026
    This week on The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz bounce from Epstein files, elite corruption, and why the ultra rich never face consequences… to aliens being real, conspiracy theories that aged way too well, and why nothing feels “crazy” anymore. They debate power, money, government cover-ups, and ask the real question: if everything’s rigged, why take anything seriously? It gets even more unhinged as they break down 90s boy band psy-ops, Netflix’s “gay hockey show,” fake maturity, farting as flirting, marriage vs. the streets, and why being immature might actually be great for your mental health. Somehow, all of this turns into a surprisingly thoughtful convo about love, accountability, protecting Black women, and what it really means to grow up... if that’s even the goal. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ 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.

  • Idiotas Brillantes
    Feb 14 2026
    This week on The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz break down the most talked-about (and confusing) Super Bowl commercials, including a viral anti-antisemitism ad that somehow managed to give people brand-new ideas instead of stopping hate. From Post-it notes and “blue squares” to why some ads feel like they were written by people who haven’t met real humans in decades, nothing is safe. The crew dives into uncomfortable conversations about language, race, “inside” slang white people apparently never sent a memo about, and why context matters more than intent. Then the episode takes a sharp turn into dark territory with a raw, unfiltered discussion about the Epstein files, power, corruption, and why it feels like rich and powerful people live by a completely different set of rules. Along the way, Charlamagne and Andrew unpack conspiracy theories, government cover-ups, media manipulation, moral decay at the highest levels, and why money, power, and unchecked ego rot everything they touch. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ 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.
