Hi Divas,

It's officially pride month, so you know what that means: kicking Cassandra off the pod and bringing producer David on to dunk on pride flops. This week: Target not being gay enough, Caitlyn Jenner having too many gay rights, intersectionality snafus, cringey pride campaigns of yesteryear, and the current state of ERG (Employee Resource Group) affairs. Flopmania!!

Anyway, happy Pride y'all. Stream Nasty by Tinashe if you want to bop along to our brain rot :)) Also, happy honeymoon Cassandra! Anyone wanting to get the newly weds a drank on their euro-honeymoon can venmo Cassandra at @Cassandra-Kyriazis. Do it!

HI FLOPS!

This week Justin is joined by beloved friend of the pod Kyle Frattini to cohost and react to the new trailer for the WICKED MOVIE, which we have to admit... might actually be real! More on that later!

Also included in this week's soup: Things get science fiction-coded as Avril Lavigne denies the switched-with-a-clone-named-Melissa allegations and Dorinda Medley gets supernatural at Upper East Side funerals.

Then, love itself is flopping as divorce rumors swirl around Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who haven't been seen together in 47 WHOLE DAYS.

Also, SEXINESS is flopping in the UK, as we try to understand why this guy named Jeremy Clarkson is their number 1 sexiest man across the pond. 

There's so much flopping this week, now more than ever probably - so get into it! <3

Hi Flop Tarts!

We're flopping this week because we are the one millionth podcast to utter the phrase "tortured podcasters department" and Taylor Swift is flopping because this new album is mid as hell. That's right: we're discussing the Tortured Poets Department. We're also talking about a lot of other singers who are girl, what it takes to be a successful girl singer, and why Taylor won't invite any girl singers to sing on songs with her. Plus: we're streaming Sabrina Carpenter's espresso, and dog owners in New York City are on their worst behavior.

Hi Flop Tarts,

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming this week! Cassandra & Justin are flopping, society is flopping, and celebrity chef David Chang is flopping. We discuss the recent Momofuku chili crisp controversy wherein David Change's company sent cease-and-desists to a bunch of chili crisp companies in an effort to protect his copyright and then everyone David Chang has ever wronged came out of the woodwork to say "I never even liked that guy." Chef's kiss, as they say.

Show Notes:

Hellllllo Flop Tarts, 

This week is Cassandra's birthday week (Happy Birthday!) so Producer David stepped in for her to cover all things queer pop star. Today's main focus, aside from eclipse chatter, is the attempted rebrand of Jojo Siwa. From child star to. non-child non-star, Jojo has made quite the progression in the past few days with her release of Karma. 

Tune in to hear our thoughts on how everything's going, from the perspective of two gays who wish they were pop stars.

Ciao bella,
Flop Soup

Flop Soup coming in HOT this week covering the "disappearance" of Kate Middleton, Prince William's Mistress, said mistress's Gay Husband, and more (ALLEGEDLY!).

Plus: It's St. Patrick's Day, you little leprechaun divas, so we watched IRISH WISH! And we did not understand what was going on with those accents <3

Also need to highlight this incredible little tidbit we didn't get to cover in the episode: "On his 43rd birthday, at an intimate free concert at Manhattan’s Irving Plaza, Timberlake introduced “Cry Me a River” — his 2002 hit that many believe to be a one-sided depiction of his breakup with Spears — with choice words captured by the many camera phones held aloft: “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize,” he paused before adding, “to absolutely [expletive] nobody.”
J. Lo cancelling multiple shows due to low ticket sales and/or a new Jurassic Park Franchise?
COMBO FLOP: JT & J Lo dragged by Variety
Diane Warren livid her name didn't get announced in Oscar Best Song category
Paris Olympic organizers distribute 300k condoms
