The Brilliant Idiots

• Backshots 4 The World (Ft. Akaash Singh & Mark Gagnon)

  This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne is joined by Akaash and Mark from Flagrant podcast and get into a wild mix of topics. They kick things off with Drake’s messy family court drama, questions about whether his jewelry is actually real, and of course the never ending back and forth with Kendrick Lamar. Meek Mill’s public image gets some heat, Snoop Dogg comments on a kids movie causes backlash, and Tyrese makes things awkward with a body count joke. But it doesn’t stop there. The conversation takes some funny left turns, like debating the power of bidets and personal hygiene while also diving into deeper stuff like old school video game nostalgia, racial unity, the crack era’s impact, and the importance of men being vulnerable. They even touch on bias in hip-hop media, “what if” scenarios in history, and ideas for building a better America all with that signature Brilliant Idiots humor and honesty. ************************************ 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 #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.

• Lime Green Vibratoes

  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.
