Backshots 4 The World (Ft. Akaash Singh & Mark Gagnon)

All Episodes

August 29, 2025 • 94 mins

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne is joined by Akaash and Mark from Flagrant podcast and get into a wild mix of topics. They kick things off with Drake’s messy family court drama, questions about whether his jewelry is actually real, and of course the never ending back and forth with Kendrick Lamar. Meek Mill’s public image gets some heat, Snoop Dogg comments on a kids movie causes backlash, and Tyrese makes things awkward with a body count joke. But it doesn’t stop there. The conversation takes some funny left turns, like debating the power of bidets and personal hygiene while also diving into deeper stuff like old school video game nostalgia, racial unity, the crack era’s impact, and the importance of men being vulnerable. They even touch on bias in hip-hop media, “what if” scenarios in history, and ideas for building a better America all with that signature Brilliant Idiots humor and honesty. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel https://www.simonandschuster.biz/books/The-Black-Family-Who-Built-America/Cheryl-McKissack-Daniel/9781668033999 Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God https://a.co/d/gpFlOol Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" https://blackeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.
