Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

 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...

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...
