So you thought we'd stay gone for a minute? Nah son, we're back, and still have way too much to say. Check out the timestamps to find out what was on our mind this week.

We also would like to present a challenge to EXO-Ls and Armys everywhere. In the interest of academia and good old-fashioned competition we'd like to know: who can out-sell the other in America? If EXO's new material can chart within the top ten of the Billboard 200 we'll do a special deep dive episode (and possibly a giveaway). If they don't, well..maybe BTS will get one.
