Reminder that we officially launched our Patreon last week! Please consider joining us over there for some extra content and good vibes: https://www.patreon.com/flopsoup

xoxo,
Flop Soup

WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, FLOP STARS!!

Though there is no new main feed episode out this week, we are excited to announce that we have officially launched our Patreon! This will be an extension of the Flop Soup universe where we're bringing you gorgeous beautiful bonus flops and thoughts! It's the same Flop Soup vibes that you know and love but we're being so unfiltered and SO bonus. Of course we will still be doing our weekly free episodes, but this will be a great companion piece for the those out there looking for second helpings.

Why Patreon? Why now? 

We’ve been making the pod for a year and a half now and we’re going Patreon mode for two reasons:

• Sometimes we have other flops and jokes and ideas we want to talk about that don’t fit in the main episode, but we still want to share them with the world.
• Producing a weekly pod takes time and money, baby! To keep the Friday episode unfiltered and free, we’re asking our listeners to pitch in a little bit if they feel like it! More specifically, we have Zoom subscriptions, Buzzsprout subscriptions, and more that keeps the pod living and breathing! (And for all the righteous divas who think Cassandra needs a new mic: it all starts with a Patreon because nice podcast mics that make women sound beautiful and not shrill cost $400 or something <3)

What you’ll get as a Patron:

BONUS EPISODES - You’ve heard us say “that’s for Patreon” almost as many times as you’ve heard us say flop. We’re finally making good on that promise with extra episodes each month that will include:

• CUT FOR TIME CONTENT: Flops that didn’t make it onto the main episode but we still feel need to be discussed
• QUIZZES & GAMES GALORE
• CALL-IN EPISODES
• THE RETURN OF FLOPOSCOPE: We talk about upcoming movies, TV, and music and guess how floppy they’ll probably be
• FLOPOGRAPHY LESSONS: Deep dives into flops from days gone by that we're still so fond of
• FLOP RECAPS: What are Justin & Cassandra listening to & watching?
• GOSSIP SESSIONS
• And definitely more!

Check it out at patreon.com/FlopSoup 

See you there! <3

HEY FLOPTARTS we're back with another episode full of everything that was flopping alongside you this week!

In this week's episode, we get "demure" for the last time before we all put that word to REST. We also explore Spanx founder Sara Blakely's follow-up to her iconic body-oppressing garment, SNEEX! Also, would JLo and Ben Affleck survive on a deserted island together? WHY does Katy Perry think people are building statues of popstars! Many questions to answer, and we sort of do!

Most importantly, SHEN YUN was EXPOSED by the New York Times this week for cult-like behaviors and we are here to make fun of the celebrities that found themselves included in their promotional materials along the way.

Tune in to our flop frequency <3

Hi Flop Tarts!

We are so back with an action packed hour and ten minute episode full to the brim with flops. We're talking everything from the MTV VMAs being rescheduled to 9/11 to Tom Daley's floppy pivot into knitting. Plus: we saw TRAP & we WON'T be seeing It Ends With Us after unpacking all this messy casting drama. The flop starts here.

xoxo,
Justin & Cassandra (& Producer David)

Hi Floptarts,

Have you been watching the Olympics? Did we enjoy France's beautiful gender reveal along the Seine? Should we invite Bella Hadid?

The real star (or flop star) was -- and we hate to say it -- Lady Gaga :( But don't worry, compared to some of the other flops we have for you this week Mother Monster doesn't flop that hard: JD Vance can't beat sofa sex allegations, trad wives are back in a big dark way, PFAS (forever plastics) are actually in condoms, and Southwest perhaps falls the furthest from grace by joining all the other aviation overlords with seat assignments >:P. Seatbelts are required for this floppy ride.

Show Notes:
Quick Flops
The Common Flop Down (as opposed to the rare un-flop): Southwest moves toward seat assignments that passengers have to pay for
German surfer Tim Elter moons The Olympics
JD Vance Sofa Sex Rumors & Fact Checking Flops
PFAS in condoms, PFAS in our hearts, PFAS regulation flops in Congress
The Astor Place Starbucks has CLOSED

Hot Flopics
The Oh-No Oh-lympic Oh-pening Ceremony

• NYT summary

Ballerina Farm

Cassandra and Justin are flopsplaying (cosplaying as a flop) this week as CNN hosts covering the official end of the Biden campaign for the presidency, and the rise of KAMALA'S BRAT ERA (apparently???).

Of course there are many other things flopping about the world this week, including (but not limited to), the phone that's also a vape and a fitness tracker, the lack of a SMOOCH in the movie TWISTERS, and the global Microsoft outage that finally left us with an appreciation for Southwest Airlines (Top 2 floppiest airlines). Buckle up! It's gonna be a bratty ride.

Hi Flop Tarts,

Our beloved Justin is out of town for work this week (*gasp*) so Producer David steps in with Cassandra to cover one of the floppiest weeks in our nation's history: New York City can't stop paying McKinsey to tell them trash cans were a good invention, we can't stop listening to an AI country song about DUIs, and Katy Perry can't stop herself from releasing the cringiest flop single in recent memory. Not to mention *gestures* everything else going on. It's a flop world and we're definitely living in it.

Xoxo,
Flop Soup

This week, Flop Soup's Queening Out series continues for pride month as Justin investigates the flops of the week with beloved friend of the pod Jesse Tabit. On our docket this week, of course, is our flop king of the moment Justin Timberlake and his run-in with "Gen Z Cop."

There's also a bunch of music related flops this week, like Katy Perry beginning to tease her latest flop era and yeah, we have thoughts! MIA is also releasing a conspiracy theorist-inclusive clothing line that may or may not protect you from the 5G. Also, up in the skies, men are "raw dogging"... air plane flights? What could that even be about??

Tune in to find out!
