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.
