The Brilliant Idiots
The Brilliant Idiots is a weekly comedy and social commentary podcast from New York City. It’s part of the Loud Speakers Network and can be found on iTunes, SoundCloud, and iHeartRadio. The show is hosted by Charlamagne Tha God and comedian Andrew Schulz. The first episode released in April 2014. The idea came from Charlamagne and Schulz working together on MTV2's Guy Code, giving them a chance to share uncensored opinions they couldn't on their other jobs. They talk about current events, entertainment news, race in America, sex, relationships, and politics. Filmed in a studio by AlexxMedia, clips also appear on YouTube. They sometimes run a segment called “Ask An Idiot,” where listeners' questions are answered—now mostly heard at live shows. Wax, Charlamagne's friend and bodyguard, used to join them in the studio but hasn't appeared since 2021. A regular topic is white privilege and race relations, discussed with guests. They’ve taken the show on tour, performing live from New York to London and engaging with fans, including the “Ask An Idiot” segment at live events. Guests have included Daymond John, Claudia Jordan, Tahiry Jose, Melyssa Ford, Timothy DeLaGhetto, Lil Duval, Pete Davidson, and more.
