Ping Paddle Supreme

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz makes the case that Tom Holland is the greatest Spider-Man ever, and the debate spirals into Doctor Doom lore, Jean Grey's MCU introduction, and just how big Brand New Day's box office run really is. Charlamagne breaks down finally getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they get into it over LeBron landing in Philly, WNBA drama, and whether New York or Boston is the realer hoops city. ************************************ 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.

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.

N.B.A. National Bot Association

This week on Brilliant idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz break down Trump showing up to Game 3 at MSG, why James Dolan should never have let it happen, and whether Victor Wembanyama can actually be the NBA's next face of the league.

Wicked
