Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

For the second week in a row, the podcast is late, because Julie & Brandy celebrated America's most ubiquitous stoner holiday by doing what they do best: getting high and slacking off. Most of the big news of the week wasn't political, but Joe Biden shut the game down (once again) when he announced that he would have all of American troops stationed in Afghanistan, out by September 11th. It's anot...

This week, excitement in the White House reached a (very) low pitch as JoJo & KiKi signed an executive order commissioning a panel to review expanding the Supreme Court, and spearheaded the first-ever Semi-Conductor Summit. It sounds boring, but stick around, because Julie & Brandy spend the majority of the episode breaking down the important moments from this week's White House Press Briefings, a...

This week, while Americans celebrated Easter, Julie & Brandy celebrated the news that Matt Gaetz used Apple to pay for sex with an underage hooker. But that wasn't the only good news of the week! On Wednesday, JoJo & KiKi released their new $2 trillion infrastructure plan, and the girls are obsessed with it. All that, plus (a few too many) over-zealous shots of Hot Psaki, and this episode is more...

This is the third (and newly revamped) installment of the Dumb Gay Politics: Icon Series. Some guests are so iconic that they require an entire episode dedicated to them, and Jaime Rogozinski is one such guest. As the founder of the Reddit community 'Wall Street Bets,' Jaime Rogozinki is the man behind the mythical Gamestop phenomenon, and the face that launched a (hundred million) thousand trades...

This week's episode is extra-long, because Republicans spent the week being extra-gross. First, Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McC*ckBlocker gave a six minute speech threatening to destroy the United States Senate, if the Democrats trash the Filibuster. So, Julie & Brandy had no choice, but to spend half the podcast threatening to destroy Mitch McConnell, and trashing his disgusting speech. But tha...

This week's episode features another float in the Julie & Brandy Rage Parade. In the new era of JoJo & KiKi, the girls have been aiming their anger mostly at Republicans (and Joe Manchin), but after a weekend filled with too much Corona Light, and too much Corona Virus - they've found a new target for their fury: The White House press corps. In the interest of ratings and self-promotion, the repor...

This week, on the one-year anniversary of Corona Virus in America, Congress passed a huge bill that might actually turn things around. Against all odds (the odds being every single Republican on Capitol Hill), President Biden led the Senate Democrats to a narrow win of 50-49, passing one of the most comprehensive and progressive economic relief bills in American history. Julie & Brandy celebrated...

This week, Julie & Brandy were all raged up with nowhere to go, so they invited famed Bravo Housewife, and legendary Miami socialite, Lea Black, to a meeting in the Ladies Room. The girls chopped up a lot of topics in the Ladies Room, but there was one smelly elephant, swirling around the toilet, that just wouldn't flush: the Republican party. For the second week in a row, Republicans continued to...

The OG racist Republicans are officially in a civil war with Trump's MAGA Nazis, and the fate of the Repugnican party hangs in the balance. Everyone is on shpilkes, wondering which side is going to win the war, except for Julie & Brandy. They don't give a f*ck who wins!  Watching rich white supremacists fight with poor white supremacists, for control of a party that worships money & discriminates...

Trump's historical, second impeachment trial ended on Saturday, and with a Senate score of 57 - 43, he broke the record and became the undefeated champ in avoiding impeachment. After the vote, Trump sent a message to his disgusting disciples telling them that their beautiful movement has only just begun, and Mitch McConnell sent a message to Trump warning him that just because he wasn't impeached,...

Trump's impeachment trial started this week, and Julie & Brandy only have one question for Congress: where the f*ck are the stimulus checks? Finding out where Biden's Covid Relief Bill stands was like finding the Missing Link, but the girls do their best to break it down. It's a shallow dive in a confusing pond, that will inevitably leave you hungry for more. So make yourself some lunch, and then...

This week, Julie & Brandy ignored the 24-hour spin cycle of Qanon quack Marjorie Taylor Greene, and instead dragged shady Senator Joe Manchin behind a West Virginia tree and gave it to him "Deliverance style." Joe Manchin sucks, but Joe Biden's cabinet doesn't, so the girls take another trip to Cabinet Street to get to know 6 more awesome members who will be confirmed by the Senate this week. This...

This week, Julie & Brandy tried to bask in the afterglow of the historical inauguration of Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, but the trashbox Republicans ruined everything, per usz. Mitch McTurtle spent the week holding the Senate hostage with all of his tired obstructionist tricks, while the rest of Congress was busy impeaching Trump. The government is a hot mess right now, but the girls decide to ignor...

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...
