Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

Special Council Robert Mueller finally testified before Congress, and Julie & Brandy were not impressed. Nonetheless, they work through their sober/diet rage in order to rehash the  details and the aftermath of his testimony, including possible impeachment proceedings and future Russian election meddling. After that, they do a Gay Guys & Their Feelings featuring several different listeners with fe...

It's only been one week since Julie & Brandy went to Descrimmigration Scheww, and the nightmare at America's southern border has spread to 10 major cities, as Trump orders Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) to begin raids on undocumented immigrants in NY, LA, SF, Atlanta, Houston, Baltimore, Miami, Denver, Chicago & New Orleans. The girls chop that up, and then Judge Julie sentences Vice Pres...

This summary was supposed to describe the amazing live podcast that Julie & Brandy did in Wisconsin on Friday, but the audio file was unusable. After spending hours lamenting and crying over the lost show, the girls finally got it together to break down the drama surrounding the new emergency immigration funding bill, and bring back (immigration lawyer) Greg Guarino Jr to break down the humanitari...

The Trump/Iran drama continues on for the 6th (?) week in a row, and Julie & Brandy are annoyed. All they want to do is get high and talk about the upcoming debates, but they can't because Trump is warmongering with Iran as part of his 2020 campaign strategy, so he stopped by Meet the Press to try on a special edition, Chuck Todd merkin. After ripping that interview to shreds, the girls pop on ove...

This week marks the 4 year anniversary of Trump's infamous escalator ride announcing his run for President, and the country has been in a living hell ever since. In the last 7 days, Trump lost one more member of his transient cabinet, he fired 3 polling companies employed by his campaign, he threw his chief of staff out of the Oval Office for coughing during an interview with ABC, and he kicked of...

With DC in their rearview, Julie & Brandy are back in LA, and back to doing the podcast in the solitude of their drug den.  There's no live audience to watch them talk about Trump's manufactured Mexican tariff drama, but they manage to ramble on anyway.  After that's finally over, Julie takes Brandy to Presidential Nomination Scheww, where she answers the most pressing question of 2019: WHY IOWA?...

Doing Dumb Gay Politics LIVE! in the nation's capital was a milestone for Julie & Brandy, and as such, the girls made the monumental decision to stay sober during the show. They spend a few minutes dissecting Robert Muellers' underwhelming 10 minute press conference, before introducing their special guest for the evening, Democratic warrior & Twitter legend: Scott Dworkin. After that, DGP superfan...

It's Memorial Day, and Julie & Brandy are filled with rage from doing the 7 day- GM Diet. Their hatred for Facebook and general disdain for Social Media permeates the episode, starting with the Trump/Nance Pelose infrastructure standoff. Then, it's the bullshit of Brexit which led to the Prime Minister of England finally resigning, before finishing it off with the deadly douchecapades happening on...

Jet-lag on fleek, Julie & Brandy can barely get it together to discuss Trump's twitter feud with Iran. Luckily, their sisty/bestie Jonny McGovern stops by the drug den to answer some gay questions, and that raises the bar substantially. He weighs in on the 2020 candidates, abortion, and the issues that matter most to him. Julie follows it up with an uplifting 'So There's That,' but without Jonny,...

Julie and Brandy are back from Asia, just in time to throw their suitcases down and record another podcast! Still bloated from too much Japanese whiskey and soy sauce, the girls do their best to cobble together a cohesive explanation for the current trade war with China, the North Korean missile tests, and Trump foreshadowing a war with Iran! It's riveting stuff, but nothing gets the blood boiling...

After spending an unplanned month in Asia, Julie & Brandy are finally on their way home... But, first? A 17 hour layover at the Beijing airport!  So, the girls decide to rent an hourly "hotel" room in an airport lounge, so they can "relax" and also, do this podcast. China's internet is what one would expect from a communist-type of country, and they nearly got electrocuted from trying to charge th...

Due to unexpected, unforeseen,and unacceptable travel complications: Julie & Brandy are stranded in Tokyo for the next 9 days. Deciding to make the best of it, the girls celebrate American icon, Joe Biden, finally tossing his hat in the 2020 presidential race AND then they celebrate Japanese icon, Emperor Akihito, abdicating the throne to his son, Prince Naruhito. It's a celebration that Japan has...

Julie & Brandy are still on a gay cruise through Asia. And they are still not sober. Drunk on soup dumplings and Jack Daniels, they do their best to contain their rage over the sh*tstorm of the redacted Mueller Report. After that, they enlist the help of the hilarious (and sober)  Brad Loekle, to help them kill 45 minutes of podcast time by going through each of the 2020 candidates. Julie finishes...

Julie & Brandy kick off their epic Asia trip with... WORK! There's nothing like landing in a foreign country, excited to explore, only to realize that the podcast is due and there's work to be done. Staying true to their brand, the girls wait until the last minute, wake up hung over, and then plagiarize most of the podcast from CNN and Rachel Maddow.  It's not their best work, but really, at the e...

Attorney General Bill Barr is still bogarting the Mueller report, but Julie & Brandy do their best to make a meal out of it. They recap Barr's most recent public statement, before breaking down Trump's alleged ties to the Russian mafia, aka the Russian government. After slogging thru three decades of Trump's history with Russian gangsters, they switch topics to Trump's favorite congressional gangs...

Nursing their hangovers from MuelleritaVille, and still waiting for the Mueller report to be released, Julie & Brandy had nothing to do but kill time (with everyone else), when they stumbled upon all the information they never wanted to know about Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. Dismantling democracy for over a decade, his political career makes TrumpGate look like an unpaid parking ticke...

There couldn't be a better follow-up to the TRUMPGATE episode, than the Mueller Report finally dropping. Except the only person who has been allowed to read Special Council Robert Mueller's final report is the US Attorney General, Bill Barr. He sped-read it in two days, and wrote a 4 page summary that basically says there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. And though Julie & B...

Julie is on a gay cruise through the gulf of Mexico, so that means-  it's time for another Dumb Gay Politics evergreen episode!! The Mueller report investigating Trump is about to drop, so the girls decide to breakdown the biggest political scandal in American history: TRUMPGATE.  Trumpgate can be divided into 6 specific scandals, which taken on their own, would be enough to sink any Presidency. B...

It's the week after Julie & Brandy interviewed an icon, and it shows. They do their best to chop up the sentencing of Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manifort, before diving into Elizabeth Warren and her pledge to take on the tech monopoly in America. Then Julie honors National Women's Day with a clip featuring Cher & Nancy Pelosi. This episode starts out as ordinary, but the appearance of N...

This is the first (and only?) installment of the Dumb Gay Politics; Icon Series.  Some guests are just so iconic that they require a whole episode dedicated to them, and Bill Browder is one such guest. He's been called Putin's #1 enemy and his name is synonymous with Russian sanctions. In 2012, Bill Browder created and helped to pass the ubiquitous Magnitsky Act, which prevents Russian human right...

It's the week after the Austin live show, and the week before the long-awaited Mueller report finally drops. Sitting smack dab in the middle of a whole lot of non-news, Julie & Brandy do their best to squeeze water from a stone. They speculate on the upcoming Mueller report, they speculate on the Trump/Kim Jong Un meeting, they speculate on Michael Cohen's upcoming testimony, they speculate on the...

Another month, another mediocre live show. But unlike the New Orleans show, this one actually recorded, so up it goes! Instinctively punctual, Julie & Brandy hit Texas just in time for Trump to declare a national emergency on the southern border. After navigating that sh*tstorm, the girls go Off Limits with the legendary Lea Black, and it is epic! A moment with Melania and Ronnie Karam's gay feeli...

There is too much overwhelming sh*t going on in the news right now, so Julie & Brandy decided to ignore it all and wait for Beto O'Rourke to announce his run for president in 2020. The announcement never came, but the girls dodged the salacious news bullet (yet again) when they sat down for a kiki with the First Lady of Podcasting, Alison Rosen. They chat about her legendary rise, and eventual fal...

Another week, another tell-all book about Trump makes the rounds. This time, a former aide recounts his 500 days working inside the Trump White House with a "Team of Vipers."  Julie & Brandy are lazy, so they call on the Dumb Gay Politics resident book-reader, Anne Morris, to do the heavy lifting. But it's not all viper-flavored tea. The girls also dissect the confusing catastrophe of Virginia Gov...
