Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

After months of waiting, the historic inauguration of JoJo & KiKi is finally here.  And yes, Julie & Brandy are overwhelmed with emotions, and it shows. From Jennifer Lopez performing at the inauguration, to the Boogaloo Boys appropriating the classic 80's movie, Breakin' 2, for their violent agenda - this episode is a hot mess of highs & lows. Keep your cocktails full and your expectations low, b...

It's the first show of FOREVER 21, and what in the actual FU*K?  Flying high on the Georgia senate win, the girls thought nothing could ruin the sweet, sweet, taste of victory. But less than 24 hours later, white chrunchwrap supremacists descended on the Capitol, and looted all the hope and joy from 2021 (and AOC's shoes). So the girls spent the week drinking alcohol, doing drugs, and eating chees...

It's the last week of 2020, and there's no one that Julie & Brandy would rather celebrate with than their sistie/bestie, Jonny McGovern. Jonny is a tastemaker, content creator, and LGBTQ trailblazer of the highest order. He's one of the most prolific performers in gay pop culture, influencing everything from television to music to podcasts (including this one). The girls are super excited to have...

This week, America celebrated Christmas by unwrapping a special gift from Russia: a six-month hack of the entire government! China probably chipped in, but they are letting Russia take all the credit, since China had already given the huge gift of the global pandemic. The news is terrible, and Julie & Brandy hate the holidays, but the podcast must go on, so they call on two of the funniest sh*t-ta...

This week, Joe Biden was officially declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election, and (as expected) it was completely anti-climactic. Bored by the news, and depressed by reality, Julie & Brandy did their best to get excited about Joe Biden's newest Cabinet nominations, before getting depressed again in Climate Change Schewww with Bill McKibben. Much like life, this episode is a study in c...

California is back in quarantine for the THIRD TIME, and Julie &.Brandy are all Corona'd out. It feels like the world is in covid-limbo, waiting for something (anything?) to happen. Meanwhile, America is in Senate-limbo, waiting for the Georgia election to happen on January 5th. It's a strange time to be alive, and all the girls want to do is talk sh*t about it. So they call on one of the best sh*...

It's the 4 year anniversary of Dumb Gay Politics, and Julie & Brandy celebrate by talking sh*t with Emma Willmann & Matteo Lane! After two consecutive weeks with straight, male, Republican guests, the girls needed a gay, liberal palette cleanser, and they get a double dose this week. Turn up the volume, and get ready to smile, because even though this episode is a day late and a dollar short, Emma...

It's the 2020 Thanksgiving Episode of Dumb Gay Politics, and there's a lot to be thankful for! Don Jr caught Corona, Joe Biden made history with his cabinet nominations, and Julie & Brandy tricked the former head of the Republican party, Michael Steele, into coming on the podcast! The girls did them (and they think the interview is good), but beware! If you're looking for a hard-hitting (Maddow-es...

It's been over a week since Joe Biden & Kamala Harris officially won the 2020 Presidential Election, but Trump has yet to concede. His pathological rejection of reality would be funny, if it wasn't so completely NOT funny. The buzzkill is real, so Julie & Brandy enlist the help of professional shade-thrower & Lincoln Project co-founder, Rick Wilson, to lift their spirits by reading republicans. An...

It's official! It took 4 days, but the results are finally here: and Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are the new Presidents of the United States of America!  Hopefully. Like everyone else, Julie & Brandy are cautiously optimistic about what is to come in 2021, but democrats need to win more than just the White House if America is going to experience any real change in the next four years. So, the girls...

What is there to say, really?  The 2020 Presidential Election is finally here, and Julie & Brandy are full-on f*cking horrified.  The girls (as well as, half of America) have been waiting for four years to prove that Donald Trump's victory in 2016 was a fluke, but, turns out sweetie? It wasn't a fluke. Americans showed up to the polls to vote in record numbers, and (unfortunately), they weren't ju...

The 2020 Presidential election is exactly one week away, and everyone is stressed the f*ck out! Desperate for something to do (besides drinking and drugs), Julie & Brandy decided to join the masses and vote early. As a podcast segment, their voting-journey was boring and mostly pointless. But as a civic duty? It doesn't get any more legendary than: * voting early * at the Hollywood Bowl * for the...

 Despite the fact that it's been less than a month since Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, and despite the fact that it's less than a month until the Presidential election; This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee started the confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who is Trump's nominee to replace The Gader on the Supreme Court. Amy Coney Barrett is an extremely religiou...

The election is stressing out every single person in America, and Julie and Brandy are no exception. Looking for any excuse to drink and do drugs, the girls extended their "stress-bender" to include last week's Vice Presidential Debate. Packed with ZERO revelations, and little (to no) tolerance, this episode is nothing to write home about.  BUT. Kamala Harris is a living-legend, the debate itself...

This week, Donald Trump announced he has Corona Virus, so there's only one thing for Julie & Brandy to do: celebrate! First, they make fun of him for being a big, fat douche who deserves Corona along with all the other diahrrea-toilet Republicans that he infected at his stupid Supreme Court Nomination Ceremony, and then they get WAPS talking about Kamala Harris eating up Mike Pence at the Debate T...

This week, Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron announced that the 3 police officers involved in the (wrongful and unlawful) death of (unarmed, civilian) Breonna Taylor, would NOT be charged for her murder. Upon hearing the news, Julie & Brandy wondered: why does Nick Cannon get fired from a tv show for saying stupid sh*t on his podcast, but cops don't get fired for MURDERING black people? To...

American icon & legendary, Supreme Court Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsberg died on Friday, so (of course) Julie & Brandy spent all weekend in their drug den, getting drunk. To complicate things even further- Julie has a very random & very time-consuming job (that she's doing while hung-over), which means she has no time to prepare for the podcast. So, this episode is basically: (a very unstable) Brandy...

What is there to say, really? The left side of America is on fire, literally and figuratively. The Presidential election is 50 days away, and anyone who is still considering voting for Donald Trump at this point, needs to have their head examined. And anyone who is still clinging to the Repugnican party is (in actuality) clinging to their white supremacy, and it's time for them to close their f*ck...

Even though every holiday is ruined by the 'Rona, and half of America is unemployed (including Julie and Brandy), Labor Day didn't get cancelled this year. Stuck with nowhere to go, and nothing to do, the girls called on their most glamorous friend, Lea Black, to serve up the party feels, and she did not disappoint. What started out as just another boring episode about voting in-person, ended up f...

After a lot of drinking and doing drugs, Julie & Brandy finally finished their 2020 Repugnican National Convention Special. Sure to disgust most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled speeches from (who they considered) the most repugnant speakers from the vile, four-day, Covid-contageous extravaganza. In the interest of time, they tried to keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for...

After a lot of laughing, crying, and technical snafus, Julie & Brandy finally finished their DGP 2020 Democratic National Convention Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled (what they considered) the best moments from the four-night, virtual, star-studded extravaganza. In the interest of time, they tried to keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for th...

This week, Julie & Brandy celebrate the historic announcement of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's 2020 Vice Presidential running mate. The girls are so happy about this news, that not even Trump and his despicable behavior can rain on their parade. They talk about her childhood growing up in Oakland, and her tireless work on behalf of the LGBTQ-mmunity. Her life is the stuff of legends, but fair warni...

This episode is late because Julie & Brandy suck at life, and never want to record another podcast without Andrew Yang in it. They put it off for as long as they could, but eventually the show must go on. And in this case, the "show" is a poorly prepared podcast, without a guest, delivered late, and with very little enthusiasm. It's mostly unremarkable, but the girls do manage to move the needle w...

This episode can only be described as: one thing: a f*cking miracle. Julie & Brandy don't often achieve any of their goals, or have any of their dreams come true, but both things happened when Andrew Yang agreed to be a guest on the podcast this week. Desperate to connect with him, while making eye contact (in front of the drug-den-bulletin-board-wall-of-listeners), the girls broke their cardinal...

On this week's episode, Julie & Brandy deal with the loss of their long-time friend & frequent collaborator, Lady Red Couture. Lady Red was a well-known drag queen, black trans activist, and mentor to many in the LGBTQ community. This episode was recorded within days of her death, so the girls are still very much in their feelings, but the show must go on. So they break down the 60+ straight days...
