About this episode

Charlamagne and guest Loren Lorosa discuss various topics including podcasting success, celebrity controversies, and relationship dynamics.

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Loren Lorosa steps in alongside Charlamagne  for a wide-ranging one. Charlamagne breaks down why Candace Owens, despite outperforming half the names on the "highest paid podcasters" list,  got left off entirely, and what it actually takes to build a real podcast business beyond just views. They also dig up a long-lost Will Smith diss track nobody remembers, debate the Usher door-holding video going viral, and get into it over Drake's steak livestream, the WNBA transgender debate, and who cheats worse. Plus: relationship rules, engagement timelines, and what is “Tricking” ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/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 - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network"…
