Hop Culture

Not all heroes wear capes - some just pay for the TV streaming accounts. In this episode, we shine a very unserious spotlight on the real MVPs of everyday life: eldest daughters holding households together since the dawn of time, the one friend who keeps the group chat alive, and more. These overlooked legends deserve a round of applause or at least a mention on Hop Culture.   Music: Realizer by K...

In this episode, we dive into The Altar - a new spinoff of Provo's Most Eligible that follows singles as they date, get engaged, and (hopefully) make it to the altar, all in one day. We break down the highs, lows, and hilariously familiar stereotypes of dating in Provo, from whirlwind romances to awkward first dates. Whether you've lived it, witnessed it, or just love reality dating chaos, this on...

This week, we played a rousing game of sisterly Scattergories—think classic categories with a Hopkin family twist! From general pop culture to oddly specific blasts from our shared past, it was chaotic, competitive, and surprisingly entertaining. Tune in to test your own knowledge (and maybe your memory) right along with us!   Music: Realizer by Kevin MacLeod Link: //incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/...

You’ve heard us rave about our latest obsessions in our #influenced episodes—but what about the OGs?

This week, we're diving into the world of whimsy—what it means, why it charms us, and when it maybe crosses the line into cringe. Inspired by a viral TikTok asking people to share their most whimsical habits, we chat about everything from fairy houses to teacup gardens, and play a round of “Love It or Lose It” featuring unicorns, Luna Lovegood, and a healthy dose of twee. Whether you're a full-tim...

If you met your younger self, what would you say? In this episode, we tackle this viral question—but, of course, with our signature tongue-in-cheek twist.

Have you ever heard of the fun scale? We hadn’t either! It’s a way of categorizing experiences and deciding whether to repeat them.
