Show Notes
Joe and Nathan are back at the RMZ news desk, and this week the rumors range from the very demure to the deeply Disney Adult.
First, Joe recaps his less-than-magical D23 Day at Disneyland, including the impossible-to-get princess concert, the Cavalcade of Legends, some questionable Disney fashion choices, and a vintage piece of Disneyland history that immediately has Nathan asking about Joe’s will.
Then it’s time for the internet drama. Jools Lebron is facing backlash after asking fans to help fund her dental work, leading Joe and Nathan into a conversation about internet fame, getting a regular job, and what happens when your viral moment doesn’t last forever.
Next, they dive into the viral “Peter Pan Girl” and the internet’s fascination with her Disneyland character interactions. Is she cringey? Absolutely. But is she really the worst Disney Adult wandering around the parks? Joe has thoughts—and firsthand evidence that things can get much, much weirder.
Plus: Nathan’s play limps toward the finish line, the Secret Show inspires some nostalgia, Gus Kenworthy continues existing, Nathan clears up once again that he did NOT live in New Zealand, and Joe delivers his definitive dissertation on why Stop That Train fundamentally misunderstands what made Airplane! work.

Joe and Nathan are back with a story so perfectly chaotic it could only happen on the gay internet. This week, they dive into the increasingly unbelievable saga surrounding The Last Ditch, a progressive lesbian bar in western Massachusetts that found itself at the center of an online firestorm after making masks optional one night a week. There’s a struggling owner, a fractured polycule, clown school, angry Zoom meetings, “white they/them tears,” a GoFundMe for one of the owner’s biggest critics, and somehow even more lore Joe hasn’t uncovered yet.
Joe and Nathan are back with updates from the Afterthought Media universe, including what’s coming up on Drag Race Recap and some early talk about the new season of Dragula.
