    Ignorance Is Chablis
    Nov 1 2024
    In this week's episode, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into their signature chaotic discussions. They’re talking everything from Charlamagne's intense love for Taylor’s mom’s pie, the art of aging and staying healthy in your 40s, and how political strategies seem to be crafted just to drive everyone a little mad. They also tackles the internet’s obsession with building up celebrities just to tear them down, dissecting why society’s thirst for drama seems bottomless. They discuss Kamala Harris’s podcast tour, shifting views on race in politics, and why both sides of the aisle seem hell-bent on exhausting us all. Sprinkle in some thoughts on masculinity, social media groupthink, and more!!

Will keep you coming back for more!

This is one of the only podcasts that i keep coming back and listen to over and over again. Having a radio host and a comedian together has an affect that not only keeps you laughing, but brings a perspective that I otherwise would not have seen. From political topics, to stories from their past, Andrew, Charlamagne, and Wax are a force within the podcast community.
