Wife’s On The Line

podcast December 5, 2025

In this week’s episode of The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz kick back and recap their Thanksgiving family drama, good food, old memories, and all the real-life feelings that come with the holidays. The guys get into the clash between legacy media vs. new media, breaking down why political interviews feel so different today and why it’s so hard to make politicians seem human. They also talk about how much responsibility the media really has when it comes to shaping stories, and why basic literacy, common sense, and trusting the right sourcesmatter more than ever.

But that’s just the warm-up. Charlamagne and Schulz dive into the messy (and hilarious) dynamics of podcasting, relationships, and friendship. They unpack the weight that comes with success, the never-ending debate around taxes and wealth distribution, and whether New York City should really be getting another casino. Plus, they break down 50 Cent’s powerful new documentary and what it says about legacy, hustle, and financial literacy.
