Our Editor's Take

The Don't Let This Flop podcast has a simple mission. It allows listeners to keep up on all the latest social media trends and superstars. The show also talks about pop culture. If it's happening on the internet and making a splash, this show will have a strong opinion on it. Rolling Stone writers Brittany Spanos and EJ Dickson host the podcast, and the magazine produces this program. The title of the show comes from a TikTok expression. “Don't let this flop” is a way of asking viewers to share a video. Listeners of Don't Let This Flop may want to share their favorite episodes.

Over the last couple of years, few apps have impacted pop culture more than TikTok. The bite-size video-sharing software has billions of views every day. Content creators from the app are now finding their way into mainstream stardom. But with so many videos to choose from, how is anyone supposed to keep track of it all? This podcast shows the way. Don't Let This Flop also talks about other corners of the internet.

The show covers the biggest stars of social media, such as Addison Rae and Charlie D'Amelio. But they'll also get into some of the weirder stories of the week from the platforms. Don't Let This Flop brings incisive wit and unparalleled access to the social media world. The result is a show that always feels funny, fresh, and above all else, unpredictable. For those looking for an easy way to understand internet-related popular culture, this is a great place to start.

Adam Levine Is a Show-Stopper, Homie Hopper, Drama Starter (feat. Huddy)

Adam Levine Is a Show-Stopper, Homie Hopper, Drama Starter (feat. Huddy)
Is it a good idea to DM your recently dumped Instagram model mistress to ask if it’s OK if you and your supermodel pregnant wife name your baby after her? No, and while you didn’t need to be told that, Adam Levine of aggressively mediocre elevator band Maroon 5 fame apparently did. Other things you probably don’t need to be told: don’t get leg-lengthening surgery (ladies love a short king!), don’t get your sex education from 2 Girls 1 Cup, and don’t sleep on Wisconsin, the most premium vacation destination in our great nation. Feat. Huddy of “All the Things I Hate About You” fame, who finally reveals to the olds what a “homie hopper” is (Adam Levine could relate!) and shares that he dropped the Lil from his name to share the rawest, most real version of himself. Same, king! Also featuring an extremely impassioned synopsis of the Diane Keaton body swap comedy “Mack and Rita,” a film so bad that it gave Brittany COVID.Links referenced in this episode: https://www.tiktok.com/@leamichele/video/7144759304476773678?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&lang=en https://www.gq.com/story/leg-lengtheninghttps://jezebel.com/stories-about-my-brother-1835651181 https://www.tiktok.com/@sumnerstroh/video/7145094095915240750?_r=1&_t=8Voo2USJcF9&is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7145094095915240750 > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRTEAmq5c2A https://www.inlander.com/spokane/no-idaho-schools-are-not-teaching-porn-literacy/Content?oid=24569006 https://www.tiktok.com/@georgejapan02/video/7142919408476802305?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&refer=embed&referer_url= https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.embedly.com%2F&referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatodaynetworkservice.com%2F&referer_video_id=7142919408476802305  Learn more about your ad choices.

Does Prince Harry Know Who Trisha Paytas Is? (feat. Sweaty Oracle)

Does Prince Harry Know Who Trisha Paytas Is? (feat. Sweaty Oracle)
After months of speculation that the Palace was soft-launching the Queen’s death, Brittany and Ej break the news, Newsroom-style, that Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the tender age of 96….only to be replaced by her son, a boiled lunchroom carrot who secretly dreams of becoming a Horse Girl’s tampon. This week on DLTF, we talk Queen group threads and death memes (including one featuring a famously very pregnant influencer), the surprisingly inspiring (if not gross) love story of Charles and Camilla, racists pants-shitting over Halle Bailey’s casting in The Little Mermaid, and Martha Stewart’s incredibly horny Green Mountain Coffee sponcon. Feat. Sweaty Oracle, the Broadway DeuxMoi, to spill the tea on Lea Michele’s Funny Girl debut (why were there so many cameras in the audience on opening night???) and the real divas in the FG cast.

All Hail the Prince of Pegging (feat. Remy Kassimir)
We have a spicy one this week! Producer Liz Garber-Paul sits in for Brittany, who’s on vacation this week, and we’re kicking off with our in-depth explainer of Prince William’s alleged love of prostate play and the tangled romantic web the royals weave, followed by our guest Remy Kassimir, host of the podcast How Cum, chatting about OnlyFans, eating ass on the first date, and how to have an orgasm if you’re poor. Also discussed: the triumphant return of Bama Rush Tok (“the top is from Shein, jewelry is normal, the shorts are from the Pants Store”), the recent spate of media coverage about Nazi furries, and why Kevin Bacon is proof that God loves unproblematic people.Links referenced in this episode:  https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/style/bama-rush-explained.html https://www.tiktok.com/@gracynedmondsonnn/video/7125569217960709419?_t=8UTOtb5HM3m&_r=1 https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/does-the-furry-community-have-a-nazi-problem-194282/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/furries-midwest-furfest-mainstream-932924/ https://wchstv.com/news/local/west-virginia-man-michael-edward-herman-charged-after-allegedly-making-terroristic-threats-toward-state-officials-governor-jim-justice-attorney-general-patrick-morrisey-law-enforcement-abortion-ban-roe-v-wade-twitter https://www.tiktok.com/@kevinbacon/video/7122986144182324526?_t=8US3gsPfDUk&_r=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Brad Pitt Makes Everyone Fart Uncontrollably (feat. Loryn Powell)
Let’s kick off the week with a shoutout to Ej’s therapist, who is a regular Don’t Let This Flop listener and who now, after listening to this episode, will be instrumental in helping Ej recover from her fear of birds. (They poop where they pee, and it’s weird they used to be dinosaurs, and anyone who thinks it’s cool is lying to themselves). The ladies also discuss Brittany’s secret history as an American Girl doll brunch influencer, the hetero celeb saddos lining up around the block to pick up the pieces of EmRata’s breakup, the TikTok Pink Sauce saga (and whether there is a difference between a sauce and a condiment), how Nicole Scherzinger permanently altered the course of European history, and the A-listers with nervous farting problems. Featuring special guest, “seltzpert” Loryn Powell, who recently went viral for her hard seltzer taste test video, a high point in White Girl history.Videos referred to here:  https://nypost.com/2022/07/19/miriam-margolyes-says-arnold-schwarzenegger-farted-in-my-face/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-x-factor-one-direction-formation-nicole-scherzinger-1387322/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/pink-sauce-tiktok-weird-food-trend-1386391/ https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7120324487928711979?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmelmagazine.com%2F&referer_video_id=7120324521537621294&refer=embed&referer_url= https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/black-cherry-hard-seltzer-taste-test-viral-tiktok https://pagesix.com/2022/07/15/emily-ratajkowski-sebastian-bear-mcclard-divorcing/https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/emmanuel-the-emu-wont-stop-photobombing-mom-social-media-posts Learn more about your ad choices.

Kelly Ripa's Aversion to Chewing Foods Is Bumming TikTok Out (feat. Carley and Mercedes)

Kelly Ripa's Aversion to Chewing Foods Is Bumming TikTok Out (feat. Carley and Mercedes)
Who’s the worst person you know to come out against Roe v. Wade being overturned? Whoever it is, scratch that, because the answer is almost certainly OJ Simpson, who came out on Twitter to give his…extremely un-asked-for opinion on the topic. This week on DLTF, we talk terrible men who have surprising opinions on the Dobbs decision, as well as the TikTok internal shower trend (spoiler: it made ½ of us poop), abortion Venmos, movie theaters we’ve gotten kicked out of, Horace the naked dancing man, and creepy-ass What I Eat In a Day videos. We also welcome Carley and Mercedes, the OnlyFans influencer couple who may or may not be sisters, to talk about their DNA test journey, what their moms think, and whether or not they’re doing this for clout.For more information on where to donate to abortion fund resources please visit this website:  https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/abortion-funds-to-donate-to-how-to-help-1351451/ Other links we reference in the episode:  https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/cinema-bans-push-back-on-minions-viral-trend-1377971/ https://www.tiktok.com/@healthyhappy_rachelmoore/video/7107966864873049390 https://www.tiktok.com/@meredithmlynch/video/7114816521599323435https://www.harpersbazaar.com/beauty/diet-fitness/a31899667/kelly-ripa-food-diary/ https://www.insider.com/horace-tiktok-filter-viral-interview-creator-2022-6 https://www.bonappetit.com/people/article/kelly-wearstler-interview-with-bon-appetit Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Evans Is Single-handedly Revitalizing Boston’s Tourism Industry (feat. FaveTikToks420)

Chris Evans Is Single-handedly Revitalizing Boston’s Tourism Industry (feat. FaveTikToks420)
We at DLTF have gone on record as being distinctly anti-Boston on this podcast. It’s a bad city with awful bars, terrible food and racist energy. And yet, Chris Evans on the promo tour for Lightyear is making a generation of millennial women want to pack their bags and move to Beantown. What kind of witchcraft is this? Also discussed: Camila Morrone reaches her Leo girlfriend expiration date, why Elvis is canceled (again) (also, exactly how many pounds of poop he had in his colon when he died), why pandas probably aren’t real, and why TikTok is trying to get you to start selling feet pics on FeetFinder. (Girl, don’t do it, it’s not worth it.) Feat. Leia Jospe, the mastermind behind our favorite repository of cringe content, FaveTikToks420. Happy Camila Morrone turns 25 day to all!

Nick Cannon Is Having the Ultimate Feral Girl Summer (feat. @__mull)
This week’s ep has everything: breeder fetishes, ASMR, and a himbo who is either sleeping or dead, we’re not sure which one. Brittany and Ej kick off their careers as aspiring ASMRtists with a new Flop or Not? segment to try out TikTok’s “Healthy Coke” trend, aka balsamic vinegar and seltzer water, before parsing the Shein human trafficking hoax, the latest season of Love Island, and explain what serial lady-boofin’-inner Nick Cannon, Jeffrey Epstein, and a hot professor who sells sperm in a Target bathroom on Atlantic Ave. have in common. Feat. an interview with Feral Girl Summer creator Mollie and a very special Himbo of the Week, a horse named Sugar who is either sleeping or dead.Links referred to in this episode: https://www.tiktok.com/@mandyvjones/video/7106302944194071851?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc > https://www.businessoffashion.com/news/retail/report-shein-violating-labour-laws/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cries-for-help-shein-fast-clothing/ https://nypost.com/2017/06/17/sperminator-has-sired-dozens-of-kids-and-there-could-be-more-coming/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/jeffrey-epstein-doctors-fertility-clinics-semen-875094/ https://www.bt.com/tv/entertainment/love-island-contestants-cast https://www.tiktok.com/@__mull https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/what-is-feral-girl-summer-meaning-rcna28179 https://twitter.com/jimrosecircus1/status/1535989916001247232?cxt=HHwWgICxnZms99AqAAAA Learn more about your ad choices.
