The Rumor Mill: July 11, 2026

The Rumor Mill is back with another week of Drag Race chatter, pop culture detours, and the kind of conversations that somehow only get weirder as the episode goes on. This week, Joe and Nathan dive into Disney pin collecting, a surprising engineering adventure beneath an Australian mountain, podcast comments that spark a larger discussion about authenticity, and the strange ways listeners keep crossing paths in the real world. Along the way, they tackle the latest Drag Race headlines, share updates from the Afterthought community, answer listener voicemails, and somehow end up talking rugby, Broadway, Zelda, and much more. As always, expect plenty of laughs, a few hot takes, and absolutely no guarantee that the conversation will stay on track.
