#1314 - Charlamagne tha God & Andrew Schulz

Joe Rogan (0:01)

Boom, and we're live.

Ladies and gentlemen, Charlamagne tha God, my man Andrew Schulz, thank you for being here. Thank you for setting this up.

Charlamagne tha God (0:08)

Thank you for having me, sir. My pleasure.

Joe Rogan (0:10)

I've been a fan of yours for a while. I think you're the last great radio host, and you will be the last famous radio host, because I think radio is a dying thing.

You're the last great one. You're the one who made it famous from radio. Who the fuck else? Yeah. In this era?

Charlamagne tha God (0:24)

I mean, yeah, I think radio is like one of those rare lanes where it's really not a lot of people who prosper in it.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Yeah.

Charlamagne tha God (0:33)

You know what I mean? Especially in the black radio space. I mean, you've got the Tom Joiners, the Doug Banks, the Wendy Williams, you know? So it's rare in that lane. But I think you've got people that have established good careers in radio, though.

Andrew Schulz (0:46)

That's a great question. Who is the last one?

Joe Rogan (0:48)

He's the last one.

Charlamagne tha God (0:49)

That's the last samurai.

SPEAKER_6 (0:50)

You're the last person to become famous from radio.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

100%, last samurai, 100%.

Charlamagne tha God (0:54)

I gotta give Bobby Bones, Bobby Bones.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

Well, that's nice. I don't know who that is.

SPEAKER_5 (1:01)

Shots fired, shots fired.

Charlamagne tha God (1:04)

Sorry, Bobby, no disrespect.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

No disrespect, I'm sure he's great.

Charlamagne tha God (1:07)

He's a nationally syndicated radio host, but he's on the country stage. He just won American, he won Dancing with the Stars.

Yeah, Joe was like, I don't give a shit.

Andrew Schulz (1:15)

I only know Bobby B as you talk about him.

Charlamagne tha God (1:17)

Really? Yeah, he's got two New York Times best-selling books.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

That's one of those things, though, it's like comedians. You just talk about a comic that everybody loves and people are like, I never heard of them. Amongst comics, super respected. Yeah.

Charlamagne tha God (1:30)

Bobby, he hosts on Idol now. Yeah, and we're around the same age, so I would have to put him in that.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Fine, you and Bobby. You're a gracious man.

Charlamagne tha God (1:38)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

In my opinion, you're the last samurai. It's a dead era.

Charlamagne tha God (1:42)

It's true.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

I see guys like you, I just want to snatch you up and bring you over to podcasts.

Charlamagne tha God (1:46)

Like, get the fuck out of there.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

Get out of that censored boss man world.

Charlamagne tha God (1:50)

You know, it's interesting what it's called.

Charlamagne tha God (1:53)

I know you guys have a podcast together. The Brilliant Idiots.

Charlamagne tha God (1:56)

You know, we do, you know, PodTrack, right?

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Yeah, sure, sure.

Charlamagne tha God (1:59)

Like, we just cracked PodTrack, The Breakfast Club. We were number 20 on PodTrack.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Oh, okay, so you put that online as well.

Charlamagne tha God (2:03)

Yeah, we put it out as a podcast. Because I feel like with radio, that's what it is. Like, people still listen to terrestrial radio, but you have to go where the people are. So you have to have the podcast. You have to have the YouTube following. Like, you can't wait for people just to come to radio every day.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

I wish you could swear, though.

SPEAKER_8 (2:17)

So that's the problem with radio.

Andrew Schulz (2:19)

That's the thing. So they release all the interviews they do on Breakfast Club, and those things explode.

Charlamagne tha God (2:24)

Yeah, on YouTube.

Andrew Schulz (2:24)

And they have all the curses and everything like that. That's where I found out about it. Exactly. I think that's where most people globally would watch and listen. I mean, right?

Charlamagne tha God (2:32)

Yeah, that's what separates this era of radio from other eras of radio. Like, Howard Stern didn't have YouTube. You know what I'm saying? If Howard Stern had YouTube, it wouldn't be no question. He'd still be the motherfucking guy. I mean, even though he is the guy, but he'd still be like super, super the guy in this era.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Right. He's in that paywall, which is very strange. That serious paywall. That's the strangest paywall.

Andrew Schulz (2:51)

Yeah. Yeah. He took the check.

But then you get financial independence, man.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Well, he was already, let's be realistic. He was already financially independent.
