The Rumor Mill: June 20, 2026
This week on Rumor Mill, Joe and Nathan kick things off with a lengthy pre-show tease involving stories that may never make it to the public feed before introducing a brand-new segment-in-development: Dom Top Minute. From there, the conversation expands into the future of the podcast itself, with a major announcement about Rumor Mill’s next evolution.
Plus:
Joe and Nathan reveal plans to expand Rumor Mill beyond Drag Race into a broader pop culture and entertainment gossip show
Discussion of the legal battle between outdoor apparel giant Patagonia and drag environmentalist Patty Gonia
Why trademark law often forces companies to protect their brands—even when it makes them look like the villain
The ongoing Heated Rivalry discourse continues as listeners weigh in with mixed reviews of the series
A new conspiracy theory emerges regarding the mysterious Morgan McMichaels/Jewish drag performer controversy
Nathan receives a glowing recommendation for Italy’s population of bald, bearded men
Listener reactions to Drag Race France’s AI-generated promotional images spark a larger conversation about artificial intelligence and creativity
Joe discusses how AI is currently used behind the scenes in podcast production and where he draws the line
First-time callers from around the world share memories, stories, and appreciation for Afterthought Media
Lori joins the show to finally clarify the infamous shark-surfing story from her childhood
Movie Minute returns with reviews of Toy Story 5 and Stop That Train
Patreon shout-outs, audience questions, and the usual Afterthought chaos close out the episode
As always, the world’s greatest chat room keeps the conversation moving, listeners contribute theories and trivia, and absolutely no topic remains on track for very long.
