As always, MUCH to discuss this week. For our quick flops, we have people throwing things at singers again, Russian propaganda on Cameo, and sooo much more. Then,  for our hot flopics, we take a field trip to the ruins of Gag City to report on what exactly happened here, and what it means for Pink Friday 2. After, we journey into Selena Gomez’s fiery comment section and try to figure out what’s going on - spoiler alert: it’s floppy!

On this week's Flop Soup we do a recap of everything that is and has been (former, iconic) Congressman George Santos, we parse whether or not Taylor Swift's publicist Tree Paine speaking out against celebrity gossip Instagram Deux Moi means Deux Moi is flopping or dominating the culture right now, and most importantly: we dive into the hellish merch that has been created for the new Willy Wonka movie. Of course, listen in for all the flops in between.

Plus: don't google "local politics" for LA or Philadelphia this week.

Culture may be flopping, but so are we!

On this week's soup du jour, we're getting into it with lovely and talented cool girl Justine Dorsey of the band After to investigate the recent rumblings of a Stomp and Holler genre revival (a la Mumford & Sons, the Lumineers, you know the deal).

Happy spooky season, Flop Tarts! And what's spookier than knowing that teens largely prefer LinkedIn over all other social media platforms? Perhaps it's having to ask a CVS employee to grant you access to locked up bars of Irish Spring soap (WHO is shoplifting this item?). Or perhaps it's the fact that the Los Angeles Police Department would rather catch Pokemon than criminals -- to which, actually, we say slay!
