Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

Julie & Brandy have the post-debate blues, so they enlist the help of Julie's dad, Dr. Leon Goldman to help them get out of their funk, by taking them to Dark Money Scheww. For the lesson plan, Dr. Goldman read "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right," by Jane Meyer, and, turns out sweetie- the SH*T is disturbing. The girls couldn't have asked for a...

After a lot of drinking and distractions, Julie & Brandy finally finished their second-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 speak for thems...

CNN made history this week when they joined forces with HRC to present the first ever LGBTQ Town Hall, (live!) with all of the 2020 democratic presidential candidates. Taking it one step further, Julie & Brandy also made history when they conned their way into being a part of it.  Julie asked California Senator Kamala Harris a question about homeless LGBTQ youth, and then Brandy did her best to lu...

A second whistleblower has come forward to turn up the heat on the impeachment inquiry into Trump, and Julie & Brandy are here to stoke the flames. Armed with clips of Trump begging China to help him investigate American corruption, and more clips of republicans losing their sh*t trying to defend him, the girls break down why we should all just say f*ck it, and have a stiff drink. After that, Judg...

After years of sitting on the pot, Speaker of the House Nance Pelose FINALLY took a big ole' dump on Trump, when she announced, last Tuesday, that the House is launching an official impeachment inquiry into Trump's phone call with the President of Ukraine.  Cut to: Republicans are ridiculously righteous, democrats are resentfully defensive, and the combative atmosphere makes  Julie & Brandy downri...

In a move that was shocking to no one, Trump enlisted the help of a foreign government to help him in the 2020 election, and someone at the CIA blew the whistle. Will this be the thing to finally get him impeached? Not likely, but Julie & Brandy break it down anyway. After that, it's all about how Saudi Arabia got bombed by drones and why (they think) Trump is blaming Iran. Then, Julie's (heterose...

After a lot of laughing, crying, and technical snafus, Julie & Brandy finally finished the first 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 keep their commentary short and let the clips speak for themselves.  And whi...

Evangelical leader and anti-gay activist, Jerry Falwell Jr. has been exposed as a corrupt hypocrite and a fraud, and Julie & Brandy are here to break it down. He used the non-profit status of his university to create a real estate empire, he used Trump's personal lawyer to bury a sex scandal involving him and his wife and the pool boy, and then he used his power & influence over the moral majority...

It's the day after Labor Day and Julie & Brandy are hungover AF, but nothing cures the 'back to school blues' like jamming out to the sweet sounds of Tiffany Trump & Countess Luanne de Lesseps (and yes, they are strangely connected). What would normally be the pinnacle of any episode, is topped by a visit from Dumb Gay Politics legend, Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch didn't have much time to talk, b...

It's the last week of summer, and Julie & Brandy are partying like they don't need rehab. There's no news, and anything significant is happening because Trump is insane. From hawking his golf resort at the G7 Summit, to threatening to buy Greenland, the president is on a one-way train to crazy town. Last week, he told the Prime Minister of Israel to deny entrance to two American Congresswomen beca...

This week, Julie & Brandy focus on the lean, green side of things in an hour-long rant, that is both (simultaneously) outrageous and outraging. That's because there is one issue affecting every other issue, and it (finally) cannot be ignored; THE ECONOMY. Maintaining self-control while talking about something as personal and infuriating as the economy is difficult at best, but  making sense on the...

This week, Julie & Brandy tackle the gun control debate in the only way they know how: dumb and gay. Even though there have been more mass shootings than DAYS in 2019, there's good news on the horizon, but you have to listen to the podcast if you want the burn of the scalding hot tea. After yelling their way through the gun lobby sh*tstorm, the girls listen to the gay feelings of one of their 14 l...

The opening song of Dumb Gay Politics has never been more prophetic than it has this week. 'America has gotten kinda wack' with mass shootings every other day, and the immovable gridlock of the gun control debate. The only thing Julie & Brandy can do is turn their focus to who is going to replace Trump in 2020, and that means chopping up last week's debates. They attempt to rehash the highs, the l...

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...
