  • Show has plummeted

    I used to love this show!! Now it’s just Joe talking about ChatGPT or complaining and the cohosts just say “uhuh” and “yep” the whole time. Everybody is checked out. It’s the same thing behind the paywall too.

  • Americans aren’t just ignorant, they’re proudly ignorant.

    The occupation of Palestine hasn’t been going on for thousands of years. The Nakba was in 1948. That’s like saying Harry Truman won the U.S. presidency thousands of years ago.

    Five stars for me 😂 I actually look forward to the rather shady comments from Joe. That’s my type of humor though ha

  • Used to be a fan.

    I used to be a fan of this podcast, but between them seemingly starting to hate the show they do a podcast about, and now hiding most of the episode behind a paywall, it’s no longer worth my time. The second star is solely for Taylor the latte boy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rumor MIll - September 1, 2025
Q: What are your thoughts on the bias towards Latin queens in Drag Race?
Yes, but the bias comes from treating all Latinos as one homogenized culture, which is a misunderstanding of their diversity.
The Rumor Mill - August 18, 2025
Q: What are your thoughts on the drama surrounding Orion Story?
It's trivial; if it deals with an $80 wig, people should just sort it out privately.
The Rumor Mill - August 18, 2025
Q: What did you think about the recent ELF Cosmetics ad with Matt Rife?
It's a debacle; fans are questioning why they partnered with someone he's triggered backlash.
S17EP02 - Drag Queens Got Talent
Q: What did you think of that twist at the end?
Nathan found the twist interesting but also noted the frustration among the queens about the odds of elimination being reduced.
S17EP02 - Drag Queens Got Talent
Q: Did the right queen go home on that lip sync?
Nathan believed yes, Hormonalisa deserved to go home after a poor performance.
