Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

This is the second (and hopefully not last) installment of the Dumb Gay Politics: Icon Series. Some guests are just so iconic that they require a whole episode dedicated to them, and Miyoko Schinner is one such guest. She is the founder and owner of Miyoko's Creamery, a plant-based cheese & butter company that is helping traditional dairy farmers transition their farms from raising cows to growing...

This week's episode features one of the smartest, funniest, and most informative people that Julie & Brandy have ever met in their entire damn lives. If you're not yet familiar with Brandi Collins-Dexter from Color of Change, then get ready to have your mind blown. She came on the podcast to educate the girls about the #StopHateForProfit boycott in a segment called, "F*ck Facebook Schewww", but sh...

On this week's episode, Julie & Brandy talk to another exceptional person who is way too important to be on their podcast. Running to represent New York's 17th district, Mondaire Jones is poised to make history as the first, openly gay, black, man to ever to be elected to the United States Congress. Although, the girls did their best to interview someone as historically profound, and intelligent,...

This week, #BlackLivesMatter activists marched across America for over 30 consecutive days, and Julie & Brandy have one thing to say about it: THANK GOD. Covid cases are surging, Trump and the republicans are f*cking monsters and the only thing keeping the girls alive- is knowing that there are STILL people out there, tirelessly marching for racial equality. In a miraculous turn of events, Dr. Phi...

This week, all 50 of the United States celebrated Juneteenth for the first time in history, while Vice President Mike Pence went on ABC and refused to say the words: BLACK LIVES MATTER. It's a revolutionary time in America, but Julie & Brandy are clearly the wrong people to do it justice, so they enlist the help of The Best Dressed Man in Politics: Cornell Belcher. Cornell breaks down everything f...

This week's episode features the most important person to ever be fooled by Julie & Brandy into coming on the podcast. Charles Booker is running for the United States Senate, and if he wins the primary next Tuesday in Kentucky, he will face Mitch McConnell (aka America's malignant tumor) in November. Whether he wins the primary or not, Charles Booker is the future of American government, and all 1...

It was another exciting, and transformative week in American history, and Julie & Brandy really wish that they didn't have to do it justice. Though they try their best to break down the momentous "Defund the Police" movement, and play a legendary clip of Senator Kamala Harris on the Senate floor, they lose all credibility when they follow it up with a pre-recorded kiki with comedy superstar, Paula...

Julie & Brandy delayed releasing this week's podcast in order to stand in solidarity with Tuesday's music industry blackout, honoring George Floyd's death and Black Lives Matter. Although, the girls had an extra day to prepare this episode, it's still pretty crappy. But that should surprise no one. It was the most historically significant week that any American has ever lived through, and there's...

This week, while the country memorialized our fallen heroes, Julie & Brandy finally accepted that Corona is here to stay by introducing a permanently temporary, new segment called, "This Sh*tty Week in Corona."  The segment is nothing but depressing bullet points, just begging to be fast-forwarded.  After that they tell a rage-inducing tale about how the nation's Senate Majority Leader is quietly...

After taking a week off, Julie and Brandy return unrefreshed and insane. The re opening of the country has begun and the girls have a lot of feelings. In this special episode they unpack and predict what the world could possibly look like in the next chapter in the Corona series and they answer zero questions. If you enjoy a messy, ranty, corona-y, romp then you're in the right place. ************...

This episode is late because Julie & Brandy are in their Corona feelings, and they suck at life right now. The news is redundant and the girls are in desperate need of a break, so they call their old friend Scheana Shay to distract them with a good old fashioned kiki. Scheana talks about what it's like quarantining with her boyfriend Brock, seeing the infamous glowing red tide in San Diego, and ho...

Summer has officially hit Southern California, and the heat of the sun has burned off all the f*cks that anyone had left about the Coronavirus.  Determined to sober up and (finally) get their sh*t together, Julie & Brandy asked their internet friend Caissie if they could interview her and her son Lincoln about a viral tweet he sent to Obama on behalf of the graduating class of 2020. Caissie agreed...

This episode is late because Julie & Brandy have lost their damn minds. The Corona goblins are lurking in the walls, and it's a full-time job keeping them at bay. But, the girls manage (barely) to get it together with the help of their former intern, Aran O'roe, who calls the drug-den to fill them in on all the Bernie Sanders goss. Aran is a star, and he does his best, but the sound sucks, and the...

It's the beginning of their fifth official week in quarantine, and Julie & Brandy decide that they need to seek professional help if they are going to live to see another day in isolation. So, they call on their good friend, dr. Linda James (who is not a doctor) to guide them through some self-care tips that he offers on his Cool, Comfort Podcast. His voice is soothing, and his advice is good, whi...

It's their fourth week in quarantine, and Julie & Brandy have lost all track of time and space. Are they happy? Are they sad? Are they hysterical? Are they insane? Are they even still in LA? They're definitely confused & scared, and they desperately need a grounding presence to make them feel normal again. Thankfully, that presence shows up in the form of the one and only, Lea Black. Lea is not ju...

Three weeks in quarantine, and Julie & Brandy have self-medicated themselves half to death. They spent the first part of the week high on drugs and dancing along to video games, and the second part of the week hungover and crying into a pillow. Now it's Tuesday and they're ready to start all over again. And what better way than having their first quarantine kiki with uber-legend Rosie O'Donnell?!...

Two weeks in quarantine, and Julie & Brandy still can't get this podcast done on time, Why? Because, even though they don't have the virus (yet), they've been spending all their free time self-medicating! Locked in the house, with nothing to do but drugs, the girls turn to the television for comfort, like they're latch-key kids from 1989, who just got home from school. And the most important show...

A deadly virus is stressing out every single person in the entire world, and Julie and Brandy are no exception. Looking for any excuse to drink and do drugs, the girls decide to turn their quasi-quarantine into a quasi-vacation, while podcasting. They spend the first half the episode trying to make sense of the CoronaVirus, before moving on to the highlights of the democratic debate between Joe Bi...

What do you get when you cross lingering jet-lag from Australia, with persistant disappointment from Super Tuesday, and a few days of drug abuse? POSTWARREN DEPRESSION! It's the new, trendy mental health disorder, and Julie & Brandy invented it/have it. But, the good news is: Rachel Maddow has the cure. In her first interview since announcing that she's leaving the presidential race, Elizabeth War...

Julie & Brandy made it home from Australia just in time to cast their votes for Elizabeth Warren on Super Tuesday, and record this podcast. No one knew what to expect after South Carolina, but with last minute help from Pete Buttigieg & Amy Klobuchar, Joe Biden pulled an upset, winning 10 of the 14 states. Bernie Sanders won the other 4, Elizabeth Warren came in last behind Bloomberg, and Julie &...

After spending the last 48 hours sequestered on a cruise ship, drunk, with zero wireless, Julie & Brandy rushed to their hotel in beautiful, historic, downtown Sydney, only to find that it's in a converted 19th century hospital with brick walls. What's wrong with brick walls, you ask? They echo. And they're not conducive to recording podcasts. So, ever the consummate professionals, the girls built...

Despite living a day ahead in New Zealand, Julie & Brandy still can't be on time. Distracted by frolicking with Galapagos Turtles in the land of Hobbits, the girls lost track of time and a functioning wireless connection. They pulled it together long enough to dissect the drama of Roger Stone's sentencing & the dysfunctional DOJ, before getting candid with the first drag queen ever elected to publ...

After a lot of travel & drug-related distractions, Julie & Brandy finally finished their fifth-ever, Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the "best moments" from the New Hampshire primary debate, focusing on the candidates that are nearest & dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they tried to keep their judgy comme...

Jennifer Lopez & Shakira won the Super Bowl, but ultimately, America lost when Iowa dropped the ball on the first democratic primary election of 2020. Still waiting for the final results to come in, Julie & Brandy verbally annihilate Iowa, rip Mitch McConnell a new a**hole over the Senate Impeachment Hearing, and then sentence Alan Dershowitz to a fate worse than death. It sounds good on paper, bu...

This week, Julie's first episode of Stumptown aired on ABC and Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash. These are two strong reasons for the girls to say f*ck it, and skip the podcast, but they didn't. Julie & Brandy show up to tell their 14 listeners all about the Senate impeachment trial, and the upcoming democratic primary election in Iowa. This episode would be (yet another) flop, were it not f...
