In this episode of The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God (aka Lenard) shares his wild ride at the Cannes Lions Festival — from celeb run-ins and next-level networking to awkward club moments that sparked a serious (and hilarious) misunderstanding. The guys get into the importance of clear intros in social settings, how quick people are to jump to conclusions, and what that says about today’s cancel culture. From there, it’s a rollercoaster of topics: meeting rising stars, building future collabs, and breaking down what makes cringe comedy hit (or miss). They also unpack the madness of NYC politics, Trump’s ongoing drama, and how deepfakes and social media are totally warping reality. There's a raw convo on authenticity in entertainment, parenting in the AI age, and what it really takes to grow—personally, professionally, and politically. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots 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.
