Dumb, Gay Politics

This week's episode features one of the smartest, funniest, and most informative people that Julie & Brandy have ever met in their entire damn lives. If you're not yet familiar with Brandi Collins-Dexter from Color of Change, then get ready to have your mind blown. She came on the podcast to educate the girls about the #StopHateForProfit boycott in a segment called, "F*ck Facebook Schewww", but she ended up teaching an Ivy League, master class on digital discrimination, that Julie & Brandy were wildly unqualified to take. Brandi Collins-Dexter shined like a true professor dealing with 2 dumb, gay, hungover idiots who showed up to class unprepared: she didn't take it personally, and taught the damn class anyway.  And Julie & Brandy are forever indebted to her grace, because she delivered one of the most important segments that DGP has ever done.  ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** Subscribe to our Pa

On this week's episode, Julie & Brandy talk to another exceptional person who is way too important to be on their podcast. Running to represent New York's 17th district, Mondaire Jones is poised to make history as the first, openly gay, black, man to ever to be elected to the United States Congress. Although, the girls did their best to interview someone as historically profound, and intelligent, as Mondaire Jones, there is no way that their dumb, gay questions could ever do him justice. So, google his name, do your own research, and pass it on. But, just remember: It's not Mondaire Jones's fault that Julie & Brandy can by annoying AF. ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Ju

This week, #BlackLivesMatter activists marched across America for over 30 consecutive days, and Julie & Brandy have one thing to say about it: THANK GOD. Covid cases are surging, Trump and the republicans are f*cking monsters and the only thing keeping the girls alive- is knowing that there are STILL people out there, tirelessly marching for racial equality. In a miraculous turn of events, Dr. Phillip Atiba Goff, 'the world's leading expert on racial bias in policing', stops by to educate the girls on the politics of police reform. For those of you who are not yet familiar with the legendary Dr. Goff, prepare to have your mind blown, because the man is a nothing short of a walking/talking truth bomb, and Julie & Brandy are just trying to catch some of his shrapnel. ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website!

This week, all 50 of the United States celebrated Juneteenth for the first time in history, while Vice President Mike Pence went on ABC and refused to say the words: BLACK LIVES MATTER. It's a revolutionary time in America, but Julie & Brandy are clearly the wrong people to do it justice, so they enlist the help of The Best Dressed Man in Politics: Cornell Belcher. Cornell breaks down everything from the optics of resentment politics, to the merits of mail-in ballots. And while the girls were beyond excited to talk to Cornell Belcher, they got a 'two-for' when one of their favorite, legal-eagle-listeners, Max R, sent in his gay feelings about the recent landmark, Supreme Court decision on LGBTQ civil rights. This moment cals for a poem: Come for the girls; But stay for the guys; Because Cornell & Max; Are hot and wise. :-) ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.

This week's episode features the most important person to ever be fooled by Julie & Brandy into coming on the podcast. Charles Booker is running for the United States Senate, and if he wins the primary next Tuesday in Kentucky, he will face Mitch McConnell (aka America's malignant tumor) in November. Whether he wins the primary or not, Charles Booker is the future of American government, and all 14 listeners of this podcast need to know his name. So, spread the word, pass it on, and tell a friend, but- just remember: it's not Charles Booker's fault that Julie & Brandy are insufferable. and there's a fast forward function on every podcast player. So, if nothing else- skip to the 30 minute mark and listen to the man who (hopefully) will be the President of the United States one day. ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check

It was another exciting, and transformative week in American history, and Julie & Brandy really wish that they didn't have to do it justice. Though they try their best to break down the momentous "Defund the Police" movement, and play a legendary clip of Senator Kamala Harris on the Senate floor, they lose all credibility when they follow it up with a pre-recorded kiki with comedy superstar, Paula Poundstone. Poundstone is lovely & hilarious, and the girls are clearly enamored with her, but due to unforeseen timing optics, the interview can only be described as tone deaf. So, take the episode for what it is, grab the laughs where you can, and remember: they don't need your notes, babe! ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com *****  ***** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & B

Julie & Brandy delayed releasing this week's podcast in order to stand in solidarity with Tuesday's music industry blackout, honoring George Floyd's death and Black Lives Matter. Although, the girls had an extra day to prepare this episode, it's still pretty crappy. But that should surprise no one. It was the most historically significant week that any American has ever lived through, and there's no way that two dumb, gay, white girls have a perspective that anyone needs to hear. So, listen at your own risk, and remember: they don't need your notes, babe! ****************************************************************************************************************************      *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** DGP *** Gay Podcast *** Political Podcast ***

This week, while the country memorialized our fallen heroes, Julie & Brandy finally accepted that Corona is here to stay by introducing a permanently temporary, new segment called, "This Sh*tty Week in Corona."  The segment is nothing but depressing bullet points, just begging to be fast-forwarded.  After that they tell a rage-inducing tale about how the nation's Senate Majority Leader is quietly helping the republican party to take ownership of the Judicial Branch of government via the federal courts.  Not wanting to leave their 14 listeners with a gross taste in their mouths, the girls offer a wonderful palate cleanser in the form of Meghan McCain and her annoying recreational outrage directed (this time) at Chris Cuomo & his brother, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo).  The episode is, by no means, a deep dive, but sometimes a quick dip into the shallow end is all you need to get your life.  *********************************************************************************************************************

After taking a week off, Julie and Brandy return unrefreshed and insane. The re opening of the country has begun and the girls have a lot of feelings. In this special episode they unpack and predict what the world could possibly look like in the next chapter in the Corona series and they answer zero questions. If you enjoy a messy, ranty, corona-y, romp then you're in the right place. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** DGP *** Gay Podcast *** Political Podcast *** Lesbian *** Bravo *** Starburns Audio Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is late because Julie & Brandy are in their Corona feelings, and they suck at life right now. The news is redundant and the girls are in desperate need of a break, so they call their old friend Scheana Shay to distract them with a good old fashioned kiki. Scheana talks about what it's like quarantining with her boyfriend Brock, seeing the infamous glowing red tide in San Diego, and how she feels about her portrayal on this season of Vanderpump Rules. This episode is very dumb, hardly gay, and not political at all. So if you're here for something hard-hitting and informative- you should probably keep looking.  **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The P

Summer has officially hit Southern California, and the heat of the sun has burned off all the f*cks that anyone had left about the Coronavirus.  Determined to sober up and (finally) get their sh*t together, Julie & Brandy asked their internet friend Caissie if they could interview her and her son Lincoln about a viral tweet he sent to Obama on behalf of the graduating class of 2020. Caissie agreed, and the interview has been in the can since Sunday, but Julie & Brandy being Julie & Brandy, they didn't stay sober for long, and the podcast is late yet again. But even though the girls are a day late and a dollar short, Caissie & Lincoln are right on time and money af. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 Go

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 girls are manic,. This episode should come with a warning that says: 'best enjoyed while high.'  **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** DGP *** Gay Podcast *** Political Podcast *** Lesbian *** Bravo *** Starburns Audio Learn more about your ad choic

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, which is the perfect anecdote for the first half of the episode, which features Julie & Brandy's ragey-recap of this week's CoronaVirus Live and Melania Trump robotically reading her favorite children's book, The Little Rabbit. The sound still sucks, and the girls are still annoying, but hey! What else do you have to do? **************************************************************************************************************************** *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com *****  ***** Dumb Gay Politics

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 just an iconic Bravo housewife from Miami, she's an angel sent to save the girls from their own psychosis. Her voice is like moisturizer on their overly-sanitized hands, and they can't get enough. If you too have dry skin & extreme paranoia, then grab some earbuds, and continue sitting on your couch, because Lea Black is your temporary remedy.  **************************************************************************************************************************** *** Subscribe to our Patreon Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics **** *** Check out our website! https://www.julieandbrandy.com 

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?! Life is hard right now, and Corona sucks, but Rosie O'Donnell is so iconic that she transcends a pandemic. So put on your headphones, go out for your daily walk, and get your quarantine life.  **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** DGP *** Gay Podcas

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 in their must-see TV lineup is the daily White House press briefing with the CoronaVirus Task Force. If you haven't yet seen an episode of America's newest hit comedy, don't worry! Julie & Brandy have all the best highlights, you never knew you wanted to hear. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy

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 Biden & Bernie Sanders. The episode is long and meandery, and though the girls do their best to address the crisis (while still in the thick of the crisis), if you came here looking for answers, you should definitely keep looking. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The P

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 Warren sat down with Rachel Maddow, and together, they gave everyone hope again. If you missed it, don't worry! This episode has all the best parts of the interview, plus the added bonus of Julie & Brandy talking over every clip and giving endless opinions that rarely have a point. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 Go

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 & Brandy got drunk. Keep your expectations low, because much like Super Tuesday, this episode is erratic, unpredictable, and strangely confusing. **************************************************************************************************************************** *** 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 **** Brandy Howard **** Julie and Brandy *** The People's Couch *** DGP *** Gay Podcast *** Political Podcast *** Lesbian *** Br

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 a sound-fort, inside a closet, using comforters and pillows- with barely enough room to stand (nose to nose) holding their laptops. It is in this position that they break down the status of the democratic candidates heading into Super Tuesday and replay some highlights from Anderson Cooper's 60 Minutes interview with Bernie Sanders. After that, there's a pre-recorded kiki with funny, fitness hotties Eugene Cordero & Ryan Stanger, and a very rapey So There's That. . The episode is late, and the sound sucks, but at least Julie & Brandy are finally out of the g*ddamn closet. *******************************
