Cyclops Cheese
This week on Brilliant Idiots, Andrew and Charlamagne open up the greatest New York summer in recent memory, Knicks Championship, the World Cup, Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium run, Then it's a full teardown of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the manufactured "woke" outrage, Elliot Page's role and why nobody clocked it until the internet lost its mind, the practical effects, and Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy. It turns into a real debate over where Nolan sits among the all-time greats, Spielberg, Tarantino, Scorsese, Kubrick, and whether five undisputed 10s is enough to call someone the GOAT. They also get into Zohran Mamdani threatening to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York, the APAC litmus test splitting the Democratic Party, and whether Josh Shapiro or anyone else can survive it heading into 2028. And they close out with the disrespectful way ESPN let Ryan Clark go live on air, plus where podcasting and IRL streaming are headed next. ************************************ 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.

Dopamine Dreams
This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne breaks down going to Jay-Z's three-night Yankee Stadium run and why real-life shows are hitting different than ever. Plus: the crew rips into Supergirl's messy plot, unpacks the AI-generated Kevin Durant candy apple ad chaos, and Andrew makes an unhinged case about why every hit movie for women has a maid in it. Nostalgia, HBO's untouchable Sunday lineup, and a very chaotic listener Q&A round out the episode. ************************************ 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.

Can I Live It
On this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz kick things off with Andrew's no mustache reveal before Charlamagne recaps his latest Anguilla trip and explains why he's already planning his retirement there. From there, the guys get into Jay-Z's three-night Reasonable Doubt/Blueprint run at Yankee Stadium, then ride the wave of Knicks championship euphoria straight into a full-blown GOAT debate, is Jalen Brunson really clutch enough to mention alongside Kobe, Jordan, and Larry Bird? They also get into NBA ownership economics, Trump's bizarre Medal of Honor comments, a wild World Cup "red card" mix-up, and a detour into the Rosenberg espionage case. ************************************ 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.

Bread and Circuses
This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne breaks down Barack Obama's moment on All the Smoke, and has some thoughts. Then a deep dive into the Wall Street Journal and Inverse Wire investigations alleging that Drake's gambling streams on Stake were staged, bets were rigged, and crypto from fake wins funded bot farms inflating his Spotify streams, Akademics TV keeps clipping Charlamagne out of context, and Charlamagne wants answers. Plus: a View appearance, and a Reasonable Doubt 30th anniversary pop-up that Charlamagne absolutely expects a discount at. ************************************ 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.

Suck My Knick
Charlamagne flies solo with Chris and Alex Media to break down the Knicks' historic finals run, why Jalen Brunson just had a Jordan-level moment, and why Victor Wembanyama needs to fully commit to villain mode. Then it's straight into the deep end: the Jay-Z/Target boycott double standard, Elon Musk's trillion-dollar smokescreen, the new Epstein-Trump "cornered rat" notes, and who they'd send to represent humanity in an alien invasion. They close it out with a gut-punch reflection on mortality, legacy, and turning 48. ************************************ 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.

Clip Drill

The convo turns serious when discussing Ray J’s recent boxing situation, the pressures of viral culture, and how social media rewards chaos over everything else. The guys unpack the backlash from the recent Kevin Hart roast, debate whether comedians should ever have limits, and react to comments from Tony Hinchcliffe about controversial roast jokes. There’s also a hilarious deep dive into Rocky, why Apollo Creed might actually be the most important character in the franchise.
