In this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz dive deep into today’s most pressing cultural and political issues. From the controversy surrounding a Love Island contestant’s racial slur and what it reveals about race and identity, to the shifting political tides in New York City and the rise of democratic socialism, no topic is off-limits. We also examine the heavy toll of capitalism on education—exploring student debt, rising tuition, and access to opportunity.

On the global stage, we unpack rising geopolitical tensions between Taiwan, China, and the U.S., and what they mean for international relations. Plus, we explore ongoing speculation around the Epstein case and what the elusive “list” could expose about powerful elites.

Rounding out the episode, we get personal—discussing the nature of real vs. performative friendships in the entertainment industry, and sharing heartfelt reflections on marriage, love, and finding a life partner in today’s world.
