Dumb, Gay Politics

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.  ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

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.j

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.

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.

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 ****

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.

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.

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.
