Just To Get A Rep
Charlamagne and Andrew get into a heated debate over whether a woman’s dating history still shapes how she’s seen, and whether men’s insecurity or an industry double standard is the real culprit. Along the way they argue over whether Jay-Z truly dominated rap after Fifty Cent’s recent comments, and why the Super Bowl halftime rumors have everyone talking. Andrew celebrates Street Fighter hitting #1 at the box office and explains why he’s in more of the movie than the trailer suggests. Plus a Knicks fan test for Timothée Chalamet, a funeral video that has to be seen, and Lil Jon’s new book. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Lil Jon - I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me - Order 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your ad choices.

The Resolution of Conflict
Andrew Schulz is out this week, so Charlamagne, Alex, Chris, and Mouse Jones air out a business falling-out. The group argues over whether anyone can opt out of the system, what a realistic social democracy looks like, and whether a Uber driver and a doctor deserve the same basic needs met. Then the money-in-politics fight kicks in: can you tax billionaires when they influence the lawmakers, and does overturning Citizens United have to come first? That leads to Jay-Z. Is he the face of Brooklyn’s gentrification after the Barclays Center, or are we aiming at the wrong target while developers, Michael Bloomberg, and city hall go unnamed? Also: whether you can separate the art from the artist after reports of Diddy’s prison altercation. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Lil Jon - I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me - Order 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your ad choices.

Between 2 Bears
Street Fighter hits theaters October 16, and Andrew Schulz is counting down to his first major blockbuster, with Charlamagne handing listeners homework to go see it. They also check the competition, argue whether box office records still mean what they used to, and look into whether the promo team photoshopped Andrew’s nose. Then comes the big debate: after Kat’s dad takes a shot at Jimmy Butler, does a championship ring beat a résumé? Chris Morrow brings Dirk, Barkley, and Butler dragging two teams to the Finals, and it spills into Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. Plus LeBron’s prediction-market deal, the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merger, and the Green Lantern finale. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Lil Jon - I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me - Order Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - Order 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - 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 Checks out AlexxMediaAM Mornings Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/zt3hy9x9 #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Private School Blues
Charlamagne and Andrew dig into the Macklemore-Ed Sheeran-Robert Kraft mess, unpacking what "free Palestine" really means, why Sheeran's taking the heat while the stadium owners who pressured him skate, and whether artists have any obligation to push back on institutions that police speech. That leads into a wider gut-check on Trump-era press access and what it says that even lifelong conservatives are getting twitchy about their freedoms, with Charlamagne's "vanilla ISIS" theory of who actually revolts when rights get squeezed. Chris jumps into the debate over public vs. private school, teacher pay, and Nikole Hannah-Jones' gut-punch essay on failing her own daughter, plus a heated legacy-admissions and DEI showdown that gets personal fast. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Vote for PJ for Baby Of The Year - http://babyoftheyear.org/2026/patrick-27a8 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your ad choices.

Toto Tartare
Charlamagne and Andrew Schulz dig into the AI researcher who quit Anthropic warning that the industry is racing toward superintelligence with no plan to stop it, and whether "10% chance of extinction" should actually change anything about how these companies operate. From there it's a wild ride: a heated debate over who gets to use the N-word and why the argument itself might be outdated, and a full teardown of Kanye's cultural legacy versus 50 Cent and Jay-Z in the history of New York hip hop. Plus: sending your kid off to college, astrology arguments, and way too much bathroom talk. ************************************ 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/zt3hy9x9 #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Idiots In The Stream
Charlamagne and Andrew dig into Keefe D's conviction for orchestrating Tupac's murder, thirty years, a memoir, and a mountain of podcast interviews later, ego finally caught up with him, before turning to John Morgan's controversial "camera up your ass" return-to-work policy and whether employers can demand office-hours accountability while texting employees at midnight. The conversation shifts to Dolly Parton's legacy following her death, with Jaylen Brown's community-investment comments thrown into the mix. They close out breaking down HBO's "Lanterns," the show's handling of race and fear, and a wild Times Square stabbing that turned into a real-time NYPD standoff. ************************************ 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/zt3hy9x9 #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Shoryuken Me Crazy
This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dig into the Sophie Cunningham/WNBA circus, from the record-breaking attendance numbers to Enes Kanter showing up to a game in a "definition of woman" T-shirt and, of course, the ongoing saga of objects getting thrown onto the court. From there they go full conspiracy theorist on the Lakers sale, breaking down the Wall Street Journal reporting that ties Mark Walter's federal investigation to a suspiciously well-timed handoff to Josh Kushner's group. They also break down YouTube's new war chest to keep creators away from Netflix, before Andrew unloads a genuinely unhinged theory that Bruce Wayne... not the Joker, is Gotham's real villain. Plus: flock camera stalkers, sewer people in NYC, and the "Ask the Idiots" mailbag. ************************************ 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your ad choices.
