This week on the Brilliant Idiots Podcast, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz are back. They kick things off talking about why respectful convos still matter—even when folks wildly disagree. From Mayor Adams catching heat, to deep dives into the idea of a “permanent government,” the migrant crisis, crime, and public safety—it’s all on the table. Chris share some personal stories, like a jaywalking moment gone sideways, unexpected run-ins, moped fails, and thoughts on maternity leave at work. They even chop it up about Will Smith’s evolution and what growth looks like under the public spotlight. Then they get into some spicy political territory—talking gun gestures in sports, Cory Booker’s marathon filibuster, and how the Dems might need their own Tea Party-style comeback. They break down how sports, politics, and pop culture all collide, and why public perception is messier than ever. Plus, they show love to Insecure and Issa Rae’s boss moves, debate whether Playboi Carti is the new rockstar energy we needed, and unpack the Kendrick vs. Drake drama—complete with rumors, video theories, and some parenting wisdom thrown in for good measure. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Black Effect Podcast Festival: http://blackeffect.com/podcastfestival/ 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.
