In this episode of Brilliant idiots , Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz bounce around a ton of wild, timely, and thought-provoking topics, everything from what it’s like for a comedian to get back on stage, to navigating friendships when politics get… messy. The crew breaks down the latest government shutdown drama, how it hits federal workers, and what it means for healthcare, SNAP benefits, and the everyday people caught in the middle. We also get into the big question: what responsibility do billionaires and corporations actually have in moments like this?

We also divie straight into the chaos surrounding the newly released Epstein emails and the political firestorm they’ve kicked up. From online rumors influencing mainstream media to debates over immigration, drug policy, and even whether military crackdowns on cartels cross legal or moral lines, nothing is off limits.

We also unpack the outrage over White House renovations, the housing affordability crisis, and the bigger question of what government should actually do for people.
