Dumb, Gay Politics

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.

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.

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.

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 democrats running in 2020, and then they lecture the 14 listeners on the dangers (and wonders) of documentaries. It's an episode, so powerful in it's randomness that it can only be met with one response: bye Jamal.******* *** 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.

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 feelings make this Texas Taco verrrry spicy. ******* *** 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.

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 fall out, with Adam Carolla, and she shows the girls exactly why she's America's new best friend. From Beto O'Rourke to Alison Rosen, this is one hell of an aspirational episode.                                                                                                                     *** 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.

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 Governor, Ralph Northam, and Judge Julie stops by to sentence Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to several seats. It's not the greatest episode of all time, but it's guaranteed to be more interesting than the Super Bowl.  *** 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.

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 superintendent who's a hero and a criminal and a martyr and a role model. All in all, the perfect way to say sayonara to January 2019.  *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** The People's Couch  Learn more about your ad choices.

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. *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** The People's Couch Learn more about your ad choices.

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 fan, you will be after this interview. There's a reason he's the undisputed king of the bromance. The guy is likable AF. *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard **** The People's Couch Learn more about your ad choices.

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-favoritest person ever (other than Obama), Elizabeth Warren.  It's only the second week of Scrunchie-Nineteen, and the moonstone crystal's vag energy is already killing the game.  *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard  Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Scaramucci. Half-new and half-recycled, this episode is a lot like New Years Eve: pretty predictable. *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard  Learn more about your ad choices.

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 just a clusterf*ck. *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics  **** www.julieandbrandy.com   *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard  Learn more about your ad choices.

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, and a moment with Melania and you've get one hell of a random show, but stick around to the very end because you don't want to miss the audience cheering for the iconic Linda James as Sweet Transvestite.  *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard  Learn more about your ad choices.

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, John Kelly, when he steps down at the end of the year. Listen at your own risk: this is an hour of your life that you'll never get back.  *****  Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy   ******  www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** www.julieandbrandy.com *****   Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard  Learn more about your ad choices.

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 the oh-Bitch-uary that he deserves. And even a So There's That starring Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau can't make this anniversary episode more interesting than a mystery fart on Meet the Press. Oh well. They can't all be winners.  *********** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics www.julieandbrandy.com Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard Learn more about your ad choices.

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 the deity of gender equality: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. After that, some gay feelings from Julie's straight brother Adam round out the episode that is sure to win a Pulitzer Prize for Journalistic Achievement. *********** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics www.julieandbrandy.com Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard Learn more about your ad choices.

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 gratitude, sobriety and rage as they list off the biggest Turkeys of 2018.  Just like Thanksgiving dinner, this episode goes from thankful to bitchy before it's even half over, and you'll definitely need a nap when it's finally done.  *********** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics www.julieandbrandy.com Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone in America has been preparing for this day for the last two years, and Julie & Brandy are no exception And though it's finally Election Day, there won't be any news until the votes are counted. So the girls do what all the best journalists do on Election Day before the results come in: they yell at people to go vote! But don't worry, it's not just that. In between badgering their 14 listeners to vote democrat, they play clips, speeches, and crazy campaign ads from some of the most notable midterm races. *********** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics www.julieandbrandy.com Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard Learn more about your ad choices.
