The Rumor Mill — August 18, 2025

Joe and Nathan are back with another week of drag world news, listener messages, and plenty of shade.

This week, they:

  • Compare U.S., U.K., and Australian TV standards, leading to a hilarious detour about Big Brother Uncut and Nathan’s first glimpses of nudity on TV.

  • Break down the disappointing finale of And Just Like That and debate whether Johnny Cakes was secretly hot.

  • Debut a brand-new SpeakPipe jingle and share their first-ever listener voicemails. Trevon calls in to weigh in on Bob and Monet’s race play controversy, while Evan delivers a detailed (and adorable) recap of Slayzian Royale.

  • Cover the headlines: Heidi N Closet’s involvement in ELF Cosmetics’ controversial ad with comedian Matt Rife, and the messy $80 wig drama between Orion Story and Britney Blackout.

  • Talk behind-the-scenes tea on editing, timing, and why listener engagement means so much.

    Plus, Nathan plugs his Breaking Down Bad Books podcast (now on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone) and his new Disneyland vlogs on YouTube, while Joe admits he’s already crushing on Evan’s voice.
