This week on the Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz link up with hilarious comedian Ryan Davis. They chop it up about everything from cultural stereotypes and economic power plays to the real value of comedy in today’s world. Expect hot takes on tariffs, manufacturing, and how consumer choices actually shape global trade. But it’s not all politics and deep dives — the crew also gets into the role of comedians in social commentary, the Gail King controversy, and the fine line between trolling and truth in today’s cancel culture climate.
They break down the business side of comedy and music too — think: streaming deals, knowing your worth, and how reparation talk shows up in the culture. Ryan shares gems about what it takes to make it in comedy, handling race jokes, and why low expectations can actually be a comedian's secret weapon.
Also on deck: real talk on love, public affection, the pressures of fame, and how social movements shape public perception.
