Dumb Gay Podcast with Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard

Latest Episodes:

Buggin' in Beijing May 08, 2019

Show notes

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 their laptops, so the research factor is low on this gem. Despite the obvious challenges, the girls persevere to deliver news on Trump's taxes, Brandy reclaims her time, and Melania even stops by for a moment. This episode is like mystery meat in fried rice, it's kinda good, but also slightly unsettling. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

Stranded in Tokyo May 01, 2019

Show notes

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 hasn't seen for over 200 years, which is just about how long Julie & Brandy have been on this goddamn Asia trip. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

The Republicans Would Do It with Brad Loekle Apr 24, 2019

Show notes

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 it off with a quick & random 'So There's That,' and they are back to drinking & seeing as much as they can... until next Tuesday. ******************************************************************************************************************************* *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

Hung Over in Hong Kong Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

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 end of the day: it's all about Pete BuddhaJudge anyway. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

You Were At My Wedding, Denise Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

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 gangster, Mitch McMconnell. Lamenting the nightmare that America can't wake up from, the girls tell the tale of Mitch McConnell using the "nuclear option" to circumvent democracy and fulfill the Republican agenda of power at all costs. It's all very hopeless, but Julie closes it out with an important message from Meghan McCain, which is just the levity the country needs right now. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

F*ck You, Mitch McConnell! Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

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 ticket. If you manage to make it to the end of this episode, be prepared to be seriously disturbed, because there's no "So There's That" in the the world, that could possibly make up for the nightmare reign of Mitch McConnell. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

Wasting Away in MuelleritaVille Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

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 & Brandy are confused and horrified (like everyone else), all they can do is have a drink and hope for the best. So, that's just what they do. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

TRUMPGATE Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

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. But Trump has managed to evade punishment for over a year. The audio sucks, and the content is confusing, but if you can manage to make it to the end of this podcast- get ready to have your mind blown. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

Nancy Pelosi's Arms Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

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 Nancy Pelosi's arms move it into the extraordinary. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.

The Icon Series: Bill Browder Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

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 rights violators from entering or investing money in the U.S. This conversation can only be classified as "pinnacles" for this podcast, and no matter what side of the aisle you're on, we can certainly all agree that Bill Browder is an American Icon. *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com ***** ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy **** Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** Learn more about your ad choices.
