Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

Due to unexpected, unforeseen,and unacceptable travel complications: Julie & Brandy are stranded in Tokyo for the next 9 days. Deciding to make the best of it, the girls celebrate American icon, Joe Biden, finally tossing his hat in the 2020 presidential race AND then they celebrate Japanese icon, Emperor Akihito, abdicating the throne to his son, Prince Naruhito. It's a celebration that Japan has...

Julie & Brandy are still on a gay cruise through Asia. And they are still not sober. Drunk on soup dumplings and Jack Daniels, they do their best to contain their rage over the sh*tstorm of the redacted Mueller Report. After that, they enlist the help of the hilarious (and sober)  Brad Loekle, to help them kill 45 minutes of podcast time by going through each of the 2020 candidates. Julie finishes...

Julie & Brandy kick off their epic Asia trip with... WORK! There's nothing like landing in a foreign country, excited to explore, only to realize that the podcast is due and there's work to be done. Staying true to their brand, the girls wait until the last minute, wake up hung over, and then plagiarize most of the podcast from CNN and Rachel Maddow.  It's not their best work, but really, at the e...

Attorney General Bill Barr is still bogarting the Mueller report, but Julie & Brandy do their best to make a meal out of it. They recap Barr's most recent public statement, before breaking down Trump's alleged ties to the Russian mafia, aka the Russian government. After slogging thru three decades of Trump's history with Russian gangsters, they switch topics to Trump's favorite congressional gangs...

Nursing their hangovers from MuelleritaVille, and still waiting for the Mueller report to be released, Julie & Brandy had nothing to do but kill time (with everyone else), when they stumbled upon all the information they never wanted to know about Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. Dismantling democracy for over a decade, his political career makes TrumpGate look like an unpaid parking ticke...

There couldn't be a better follow-up to the TRUMPGATE episode, than the Mueller Report finally dropping. Except the only person who has been allowed to read Special Council Robert Mueller's final report is the US Attorney General, Bill Barr. He sped-read it in two days, and wrote a 4 page summary that basically says there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. And though Julie & B...

Julie is on a gay cruise through the gulf of Mexico, so that means-  it's time for another Dumb Gay Politics evergreen episode!! The Mueller report investigating Trump is about to drop, so the girls decide to breakdown the biggest political scandal in American history: TRUMPGATE.  Trumpgate can be divided into 6 specific scandals, which taken on their own, would be enough to sink any Presidency. B...

It's the week after Julie & Brandy interviewed an icon, and it shows. They do their best to chop up the sentencing of Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manifort, before diving into Elizabeth Warren and her pledge to take on the tech monopoly in America. Then Julie honors National Women's Day with a clip featuring Cher & Nancy Pelosi. This episode starts out as ordinary, but the appearance of N...

This is the first (and only?) installment of the Dumb Gay Politics; Icon Series.  Some guests are just so iconic that they require a whole episode dedicated to them, and Bill Browder is one such guest. He's been called Putin's #1 enemy and his name is synonymous with Russian sanctions. In 2012, Bill Browder created and helped to pass the ubiquitous Magnitsky Act, which prevents Russian human right...

It's the week after the Austin live show, and the week before the long-awaited Mueller report finally drops. Sitting smack dab in the middle of a whole lot of non-news, Julie & Brandy do their best to squeeze water from a stone. They speculate on the upcoming Mueller report, they speculate on the Trump/Kim Jong Un meeting, they speculate on Michael Cohen's upcoming testimony, they speculate on the...

Another month, another mediocre live show. But unlike the New Orleans show, this one actually recorded, so up it goes! Instinctively punctual, Julie & Brandy hit Texas just in time for Trump to declare a national emergency on the southern border. After navigating that sh*tstorm, the girls go Off Limits with the legendary Lea Black, and it is epic! A moment with Melania and Ronnie Karam's gay feeli...

There is too much overwhelming sh*t going on in the news right now, so Julie & Brandy decided to ignore it all and wait for Beto O'Rourke to announce his run for president in 2020. The announcement never came, but the girls dodged the salacious news bullet (yet again) when they sat down for a kiki with the First Lady of Podcasting, Alison Rosen. They chat about her legendary rise, and eventual fal...

Another week, another tell-all book about Trump makes the rounds. This time, a former aide recounts his 500 days working inside the Trump White House with a "Team of Vipers."  Julie & Brandy are lazy, so they call on the Dumb Gay Politics resident book-reader, Anne Morris, to do the heavy lifting. But it's not all viper-flavored tea. The girls also dissect the confusing catastrophe of Virginia Gov...

It's still the first month of Scrunchie19, and Julie & Brandy are already exhausted. Channeling the big d*ck energy of Nance Pelose, the girls muster just enough brain power to break down the new terms of the government shut down. After that, they take a master class in Savagery from the master himself, Dan Savage. It all wraps up with a very random 'So There's That' about a savvy school superinte...

Still hung over from their live show in New Orleans, Julie & Brandy crapped out this episode with little (to no) preparation.  They recap their crazy weekend and give an update on the longest government shutdown in history, before sitting down to a stilted conversation with a gay republican.  The girls do their best, but the combination of withdrawals and apathy make for one bland gumbo. *****  Du...

Dreams came true for Julie & Brandy when they got the opportunity to interview comedy legend, Tom Arnold. He's made it his mission to expose Donald Trump and he tells the girls all about his misadventures along the way. From brawling with Mark Burnett (in self-defense) to exposing a pedophile, Tom Arnold's tireless quest for justice is not only hilarious, it's inspiring. If you're not already a fa...

It's the first, official  Dumb Gay Politics of 2019 and Julie & Brandy are serving it. They start off with the sh*tstorm of the government shut down, before heading over to Democracy Street to celebrate the brand new, democrat-ruled House of Representatives and the newly anointed Speaker of the House, Nanc Pelos. After that, Brandy reclaims her time and rambles unpoetically about her most-favorite...

It's the first day of 2019, and Julie & Brandy are hung over from an overdose of crystals, rituals, & intentions. They tell the story of receiving a box of healing crystals from a mystery listener, and spending New Years Eve cleansing their energy and manifesting prosperity. After that, they say goodbye to 2018 by revisiting their two favorite interviews of the year: Sarah Silverman & Anthony Scar...

It's that time of year again, and Julie and Brandy are their usual scroogey selves. They spend a half hour thanking the frans who sent pics for the drug den bulletin board, and reveling in general holiday f*ckery.  After that, Julie takes Brandy to (recycled) Christmas and Hanukkah Scheww. In a perfect world, it's supposed to be educational fun for the whole family, but like the holidays, it's jus...

After many weeks of deliberation, consternation, and threats of cancelling, Julie & Brandy finally did their live podcast taping in Seattle! They fought through microphone snafus and 12 weeks of sobriety to deliver a reimagined version of the opening song, a poorly prepared sh*tstorm, and a pretty awesome interview with a pretty awesome Washington State Senator. Throw in a gay producer's feelings,...

There wasn't much "real news" this week, so Julie and Brandy did what they do best: celebrated themselves (via cards from their 14 listeners). After a solid half hour of self-appreciation, the girls finally get around to the speculation sh*tstorm of the Michael Cohen court filings. After that, they chop up some more fake news and more speculation over who will replace White House Chief of Staff, J...

It's the two year anniversary of Dumb Gay Politics and Julie & Brandy are giving it to you  just like they did on the very first episode on December 6, 2016: sober, dumb, and gay. It's been a long road to nowhere, and the girls start out by thanking their 14 listeners for sticking with them on this Trumpian journey. After that, they chop up the sh*tstorm of the G20 summit and give George HW Bush t...

It's the Monday after Thanksgiving and Julie & Brandy's gratitude is at an all time high, and that's because: SOMEONE FARTED ON MEET THE PRESS. They don't know who was responsible for the fart that keeps on giving, but that doesn't take away from their utter enjoyment of it. After doing a deep dive on the the flatulence history of Meet the Press, Judge Julie stops by to school the 14 listeners on...

It's Thanksgiving, so Julie & Brandy start off the episode by being veeeerrrrry thankful to all the listeners who sent them gift boxes and cards this week. After that, they regurgitate Thanksgiving Scheww from last year's episode. Why? Because no matter how many times they are told the history of Thanksgiving, they still don't remember it. Despite the recycled segment, the girls are filled with gr...
