Don’t Let This Flop

Latest Episodes:

Why Brad Pitt Makes Everyone Fart Uncontrollably (feat. Loryn Powell) Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

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:

Does Drew Barrymore Know What Vabbing Is? (feat. Celebrity Memoir Book Club) Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

t’s the summer stretch between July 4th weekend and Labor Day, which means the straight people are out in full force, dabbing vaginal fluids on their wrists to attract mates and attending secret early-2000s power couple weddings. This week, we discuss the “vabbing” trend on TikTok (and the Swiss pervert who may have laid the groundwork for it), Lana Del Rey’s new bisexual himbo boyfriend’s connection to not one but two extremely chaotic famous women, the J. Lo/Ben Affleck nuptials, whether Drew Barrymore is secretly Mr. Peanut Butter from Bojack Horseman, and why Brittany is confused by Reddit. We also sit down with the lovely ladies from the Celebrity Memoir Book Club podcast to chat yacht girls, EmRata’s divorce, and the Full House star daughter who got angry at their TikTok.

Even Lea Michele Is Having a Better Week Than Doja Cat Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

Don’t tell us not to live, just sit and puttah! Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butta! Don’t bring around a cloud to rain on our paraaaaaade. Listen, as far as we’re concerned, there is only one story this week, and that is Lea Michele being officially cast as Beanie Feldstein’s replacement in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl. Not to be dramatic but it is the most formative event in history since the Indus Valley development of modern grain farming in 4,000 BCE, without which we would have no cereal! But in the event that you are not deeply invested in the fact that the girl from Glee will be assuming the role of Fanny Brice in a revival of a mediocre Broadway show from the 1960s, this week we’ve also got Elon Musk copping to a breeder fetish, Tucker Carlson shrieking like a bat about how porn and antidepressants cause school shootings, Doja Cat getting canceled for being too horny for Joseph Quinn, and Drew Barrymore barking, for some reason, because she learned how to count windows. [In Larry David voice] Good for her!

Kelly Ripa's Aversion to Chewing Foods Is Bumming TikTok Out (feat. Carley and Mercedes) Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

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:

Justin Timberlake Is Having His Matthew Morrison Moment (feat. Rebecca Jennings) Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

This week on the internet, a lesbian OnlyFans creator couple found out they may be sisters, a TikToker is very publicly horny for Steve Irwin’s himbo son, and Justin Timberlake continues his downward spiral into cultural irrelevancy with his viral Beat Ya Feet dance (and proves that JC was the best NSyncer all along). Plus, Ej discusses her trip to VidCon (culminating in a hearty dose of petty theft!) and Vox senior correspondent Rebecca Jennings visits to discuss how the Minions became a symbol for the proleteriat. Steve Carell could have written Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, but Karl could never have written Minions: The Rise of Gru.Links we refer to in this episode:

Chris Evans Is Single-handedly Revitalizing Boston’s Tourism Industry (feat. FaveTikToks420) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

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) Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

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:

BONUS: Catfish Aren't Always the Bad Guys": feat. Deleesa and Trevor from Netflix's The Circle Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

This week on Don't Let This Flop, we have a special treat of a bonus episode for superfans of Netflix's The Circle: Deleesa and Trevor St. Agathe, the winner and runner-up of Season 2 and Season 4 respectively, and the king and queen catfishes of The Circle. Brittany and Ej have Deleesa and Trevor to spill the tea from last season (and what backstabbing convos didnt make it onto the show), why no woman has ever won playing The Circle as themselves, and why everyone uses those cheesy-ass hashtags.

Charlie Puth vs. Laura Bush Smackdown Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

Why is the Queen the same size as Paddington Bear? What is worse: being a grown man who openly brags about masturbating to Maroon 5 and ironically using the word “hungies”; or being a former First Lady married to a war criminal? And who, pray tell, lied to Liam Payne about his Spotify streams? Plus, Brittany and Ej unpack the inherently homophobic nature of the mere existence of Matthew Morrison, uncover Rush Limbaugh’s past as a Pizza Hut spokesmodel, and determine once and for all the best frozen pizza brand on the market.Links referenced in this episode:Charlie Puth On TikTok, Dating Apps, & Writing Songs To Turn You On

The Queen Isn’t Dead, But The Mormon MomTok Swinger Circle Sure Is (feat. dinonuggets.jpg) Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

Today marks the launch of Pride Month, a time of elaborate parades and trying not to get body glitter in your $11 vodka soda. It is also a time when large corporations pretend they care about queer rights by (drumroll) unveiling Live Laugh LGBTQ and Yass Kween tees. We had Dinonuggets.jpg, aka Connor Clary, on to talk about 2022 corporate pride merch, and how it manages to get more and more cringe each year. Plus: the debut of our “Is the Queen Dead” segment, and also, should you be scared of monkey pox? What, exactly, is the Mormon MomTok swinger controversy everyone is talking about? And who cares who Florence Pugh is dating (spoiler: we do)?
