Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

Mercury wasn't in retrograde and the moon wasn't full, but the sh*t really hit the fan this week. First, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren got in a friend fight at the democratic debate last Tuesday and then the impeachment rhetoric ramped up to an all time high on Wednesday when Rachel Maddow interviewed the man at the center of all the controversy, Lev Parnas. On Friday, Ted Lieu tweeted the c...

This week, the Senate is preparing to begin their impeachment hearings, and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell has stayed true to his brand by impeding truth & justice every step of the way. Julie & Brandy break it all down, before delivering the ultimate coup-de-gras to McConnell: a voicemail left for him at his Kentucky Senate Office by legendary defense attorney, Roy Black. After that, the...

It's the first week of 2020, and America started the new year off with a bang. Literally. In an impulsive (and seemingly irrational) move, Donald Trump called for the assassination of Iran's TOP general, sparking a conflict that (by all predictions) looks to blossom into a full blown war with the Middle East. Again. While the prospect of war is depressing at best, and absolutely terrifying at wors...

It's the last episode of the year, and while everyone else is (on vacation) delivering top 10 lists and retrospectives, Julie & Brandy are here with the fresh content known as "regular weed." Per usz, the girls spend half the episode thanking their listeners for gifts and begging them to join their Patreon, before finally getting to the important news that Nance Pelose is withholding the articles...

After a lot of drinking & smoking & Christmakkuh merriment, Julie & Brandy finally finished their fourth ever Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the best moments from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they (TRY to) keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for the...

This week, half the country (and 2 million more) are celebrating the birth of the Christmas miracle known as Impeachment. Julie and Brandy have been waiting for this day since the very first episode of Dumb Gay Politics, back in December 2016, and now that it's finally arrived - they are doing the Carlton dance all the way into 2020. They aren't bothered that the impeachment vote will get overturn...

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi had an iconic week and Julie & Brandy are all the way here for it, gurr! First, she made the announcement that she is instructing the House to move forward with the articles of impeachment, and THEN she clap-backed at a disgraced reporter who asked her if she "hated Trump." Joe Biden had a clap-back of his own, and the girls waste no time in celebrating that too....

It's been three years since Julie & Brandy did their very first episode of Dumb Gay Politics, and they literally can't believe that they haven't gotten a real job by now.. But, no! The girls are still dumb, still gay and still here talking politics every m*therf*cking Tuesday! And to celebrate their 3 year anniversary, they start by (finally) recapping the impeachment inquiry hearings, before diss...

After a lot of Thanksgiving pre-drinking and distractions, Julie & Brandy finally finished their third-ever, Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special! Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the "best moments" from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they tried (and failed) to keep their commentary short and let the clips...

It's the week before Thanksgiving and Julie & Brandy have gratitude LF because they got the opportunity to interview Trump-agitator & lawyer extroadinaire, Michael Avenatti. Famously infamous, Avenatti has had one hell of a 2019 and he sits down to tell the girls all about it; From Stormy Daniels to Nike to Joe Biden's aviators - the conversation runs the gamut, and there's never a dull moment. If...

This episode is on time and the audio doesn't suck, but that's really where the pro column ends. The girls are on a cleanse, trying to detox their tox, and the struggle is real. They start off by celebrating some of their supportive and generous Patreon Frans, before moving on to celebrate some democratic wins in some very UN-democratic states. After that, they celebrate the hot mess known as The...

This episode is late, and the audio seriously sucks, but who cares? IT'S THE GUYS FROM THE PEOPLE'S COUCH! Taking a break from the regular format, Julie & Brandy sit down with Emerson, Scott & Blake for the entire DGP hour. They talk about everything from Sister Act 2 to campaign finance. These boys are fearless. They have opinions and they aren't afraid to share them. So, grab yourself some noise...

Julie & Brandy have the post-debate blues, so they enlist the help of Julie's dad, Dr. Leon Goldman to help them get out of their funk, by taking them to Dark Money Scheww. For the lesson plan, Dr. Goldman read "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right," by Jane Meyer, and, turns out sweetie- the SH*T is disturbing. The girls couldn't have asked for a...

After a lot of drinking and distractions, Julie & Brandy finally finished their second-ever, Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the "best moments" from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they tried (and failed) to keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for thems...

CNN made history this week when they joined forces with HRC to present the first ever LGBTQ Town Hall, (live!) with all of the 2020 democratic presidential candidates. Taking it one step further, Julie & Brandy also made history when they conned their way into being a part of it.  Julie asked California Senator Kamala Harris a question about homeless LGBTQ youth, and then Brandy did her best to lu...

A second whistleblower has come forward to turn up the heat on the impeachment inquiry into Trump, and Julie & Brandy are here to stoke the flames. Armed with clips of Trump begging China to help him investigate American corruption, and more clips of republicans losing their sh*t trying to defend him, the girls break down why we should all just say f*ck it, and have a stiff drink. After that, Judg...

After years of sitting on the pot, Speaker of the House Nance Pelose FINALLY took a big ole' dump on Trump, when she announced, last Tuesday, that the House is launching an official impeachment inquiry into Trump's phone call with the President of Ukraine.  Cut to: Republicans are ridiculously righteous, democrats are resentfully defensive, and the combative atmosphere makes  Julie & Brandy downri...

In a move that was shocking to no one, Trump enlisted the help of a foreign government to help him in the 2020 election, and someone at the CIA blew the whistle. Will this be the thing to finally get him impeached? Not likely, but Julie & Brandy break it down anyway. After that, it's all about how Saudi Arabia got bombed by drones and why (they think) Trump is blaming Iran. Then, Julie's (heterose...

After a lot of laughing, crying, and technical snafus, Julie & Brandy finally finished the first ever Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the best moments from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for themselves.  And whi...

Evangelical leader and anti-gay activist, Jerry Falwell Jr. has been exposed as a corrupt hypocrite and a fraud, and Julie & Brandy are here to break it down. He used the non-profit status of his university to create a real estate empire, he used Trump's personal lawyer to bury a sex scandal involving him and his wife and the pool boy, and then he used his power & influence over the moral majority...

It's the day after Labor Day and Julie & Brandy are hungover AF, but nothing cures the 'back to school blues' like jamming out to the sweet sounds of Tiffany Trump & Countess Luanne de Lesseps (and yes, they are strangely connected). What would normally be the pinnacle of any episode, is topped by a visit from Dumb Gay Politics legend, Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch didn't have much time to talk, b...

It's the last week of summer, and Julie & Brandy are partying like they don't need rehab. There's no news, and anything significant is happening because Trump is insane. From hawking his golf resort at the G7 Summit, to threatening to buy Greenland, the president is on a one-way train to crazy town. Last week, he told the Prime Minister of Israel to deny entrance to two American Congresswomen beca...

This week, Julie & Brandy focus on the lean, green side of things in an hour-long rant, that is both (simultaneously) outrageous and outraging. That's because there is one issue affecting every other issue, and it (finally) cannot be ignored; THE ECONOMY. Maintaining self-control while talking about something as personal and infuriating as the economy is difficult at best, but  making sense on the...

This week, Julie & Brandy tackle the gun control debate in the only way they know how: dumb and gay. Even though there have been more mass shootings than DAYS in 2019, there's good news on the horizon, but you have to listen to the podcast if you want the burn of the scalding hot tea. After yelling their way through the gun lobby sh*tstorm, the girls listen to the gay feelings of one of their 14 l...

The opening song of Dumb Gay Politics has never been more prophetic than it has this week. 'America has gotten kinda wack' with mass shootings every other day, and the immovable gridlock of the gun control debate. The only thing Julie & Brandy can do is turn their focus to who is going to replace Trump in 2020, and that means chopping up last week's debates. They attempt to rehash the highs, the l...
