The World's Worst Heterosexuals Are Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani

Don’t Let This Flop

This week has been hell, but fortunately for us, it's been a banner week for Straight People — which is why we decided to do a very special Straight People-themed edition of DLTF, exploring the heteros and their shenanigans. First up on the docket are Silicon Valley's favorite hetero lying liars, Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, an embarrassment to Straights Everywhere, whose weird and disgusting relationship is documented in skin-crawling detail the recent season finale of The Dropout. We also talk about Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's recent Vegas "wedding" (actually just a promo for their Hulu show); Avril Lavigne getting engaged to a guy who was in a throuple with Bella Thorne; and an extremely confusing Instagram post by Andrew Garfield's ex. Featuring a special edition of "Did a Himbo Tweet This, or President Trump?," featuring two-time Himbo of the Week Thoren Bradley.

Don’t Let This Flop is a weekly podcast from Rolling Stone, centered around a roundup of this week in TikTok trends and memes, from dances to recipes to makeup challenges to creepy viral videos to celebrity videos to grassroots campaigns intended to raise awareness of social issues. Join hosts Brittany Spanos and EJ Dickson as they unpack their significance, with special guests to break down the latest trends in TikTok. Some of these stories will be silly; some will be more serious. All will have wider implications outside the world of TikTok.
