Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

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...

Mercury wasn't in retrograde and the moon wasn't full, but the sh*t really hit the fan this week. First, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren got in a friend fight at the democratic debate last Tuesday and then the impeachment rhetoric ramped up to an all time high on Wednesday when Rachel Maddow interviewed the man at the center of all the controversy, Lev Parnas. On Friday, Ted Lieu tweeted the c...

This week, the Senate is preparing to begin their impeachment hearings, and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell has stayed true to his brand by impeding truth & justice every step of the way. Julie & Brandy break it all down, before delivering the ultimate coup-de-gras to McConnell: a voicemail left for him at his Kentucky Senate Office by legendary defense attorney, Roy Black. After that, the...

It's the first week of 2020, and America started the new year off with a bang. Literally. In an impulsive (and seemingly irrational) move, Donald Trump called for the assassination of Iran's TOP general, sparking a conflict that (by all predictions) looks to blossom into a full blown war with the Middle East. Again. While the prospect of war is depressing at best, and absolutely terrifying at wors...

It's the last episode of the year, and while everyone else is (on vacation) delivering top 10 lists and retrospectives, Julie & Brandy are here with the fresh content known as "regular weed." Per usz, the girls spend half the episode thanking their listeners for gifts and begging them to join their Patreon, before finally getting to the important news that Nance Pelose is withholding the articles...

After a lot of drinking & smoking & Christmakkuh merriment, Julie & Brandy finally finished their fourth ever Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special. Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the best moments from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they (TRY to) keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for the...

This week, half the country (and 2 million more) are celebrating the birth of the Christmas miracle known as Impeachment. Julie and Brandy have been waiting for this day since the very first episode of Dumb Gay Politics, back in December 2016, and now that it's finally arrived - they are doing the Carlton dance all the way into 2020. They aren't bothered that the impeachment vote will get overturn...

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi had an iconic week and Julie & Brandy are all the way here for it, gurr! First, she made the announcement that she is instructing the House to move forward with the articles of impeachment, and THEN she clap-backed at a disgraced reporter who asked her if she "hated Trump." Joe Biden had a clap-back of his own, and the girls waste no time in celebrating that too....

It's been three years since Julie & Brandy did their very first episode of Dumb Gay Politics, and they literally can't believe that they haven't gotten a real job by now.. But, no! The girls are still dumb, still gay and still here talking politics every m*therf*cking Tuesday! And to celebrate their 3 year anniversary, they start by (finally) recapping the impeachment inquiry hearings, before diss...

After a lot of Thanksgiving pre-drinking and distractions, Julie & Brandy finally finished their third-ever, Dumb Gay Politics Democratic Debate Special! Sure to disappoint most of their 14 listeners, the girls pulled the "best moments" from the candidates that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. In the interest of time, they tried (and failed) to keep their commentary short and let the clips...

It's the week before Thanksgiving and Julie & Brandy have gratitude LF because they got the opportunity to interview Trump-agitator & lawyer extroadinaire, Michael Avenatti. Famously infamous, Avenatti has had one hell of a 2019 and he sits down to tell the girls all about it; From Stormy Daniels to Nike to Joe Biden's aviators - the conversation runs the gamut, and there's never a dull moment. If...

This episode is on time and the audio doesn't suck, but that's really where the pro column ends. The girls are on a cleanse, trying to detox their tox, and the struggle is real. They start off by celebrating some of their supportive and generous Patreon Frans, before moving on to celebrate some democratic wins in some very UN-democratic states. After that, they celebrate the hot mess known as The...

This episode is late, and the audio seriously sucks, but who cares? IT'S THE GUYS FROM THE PEOPLE'S COUCH! Taking a break from the regular format, Julie & Brandy sit down with Emerson, Scott & Blake for the entire DGP hour. They talk about everything from Sister Act 2 to campaign finance. These boys are fearless. They have opinions and they aren't afraid to share them. So, grab yourself some noise...
