This week on Brilliant idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into the New York mayoral election, the rise of Zoran Mamdani, and what politics looks like when the internet and real-life stress (like rent and $12 eggs) collide. We’re talking identity politics, affordability, NYPD beef, ICE, socialism vs. capitalism, Trump-game strategy, and whether “being in the club” disqualifies you from public office.

Plus, Curtis Sliwa ghosting podcasts, politicians ducking platforms, and the art of winning just by being relatable. It’s jokes, heated debates, wild analogies, and some painfully honest NYC reality checks.
