Bread and Circuses

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne breaks down Barack Obama's moment on All the Smoke, and has some thoughts. Then a deep dive into the Wall Street Journal and Inverse Wire investigations alleging that Drake's gambling streams on Stake were staged, bets were rigged, and crypto from fake wins funded bot farms inflating his Spotify streams, Akademics TV keeps clipping Charlamagne out of context, and Charlamagne wants answers.

Plus: a View appearance, and a Reasonable Doubt 30th anniversary pop-up that Charlamagne absolutely expects a discount at. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
