Idiot Couture

The Brilliant Idiots

In this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz are diving headfirst into the wild world of pop culture, starting with the Met Gala — the ultimate mix of fashion, fame, and WTF moments. From iconic looks to celebrity cringe, we break down what this event really says about society (hint: a lot). We give props to style legends like André 3000 and talk timeless queens like Lauryn Hill.

We get into the magic of live theater, from the next-level production behind Stranger Things: The Play to what Broadway’s evolution says about the future of entertainment. Expect hot takes on storytelling, innovation, and why Broadway still hits different.

We also unpack the chaos of modern media — clickbait culture, shady headlines, and the pressure to stay “authentic” in a world that rewards shock value. From political spin to celebrity drama, we explore how media shapes the way we think, talk, and argue.

Oh, and legal drama? We’ve got that too. From wild lawsuits in the sports world to Tom Brady’s mentorship moments and the outdated nonsense behind “alienation of affection” laws, we cover it all. Plus: why getting your mom a gift is harder than it should be and what a Brilliant Idiots movie could actually look like.

It’s a ride — fashion, fame, theater, law, media, and a bit of heart. Let’s go.
