The Rose: Tonya and Amy Recap the Post Lolla Experience
Afternoona Army: Thinky and Thirsty BTS TakesShow Notes
It all started with a message from Tonya to Amy on Instagram. "The Rose is playing a special Lollapalooza after show on Friday, August 4 in Chicago...would you want to go?" Spoiler alert. Amy said "YES," and is now a changed woman. Join us for a very special Afternoona Army and Afternoona Delight collaboration with me (Tona) and Amy as we recap the experience of seeing The Rose at their post Lolla midnight show at The Vic Theatre in Chicago. We take you on a meandering tour through the Chicago suburbs to a local K-Pop store, bubble tea cafe, and dinner and snacks at Joong Boo market before finally heading to the city to wait in a line two blocks long with the lovely, welcoming Black Rose community. Then...the transformative experience of seeing The Rose live, getting home at 3:00 a.m., and decompressing the day after. It's a whole journey, folks, and we're so excited to share it with you!

BTS Arirang World Tour is officially here! BTS kicked off the Arirang World Tour last night in Goyang, South Korea, and from the opening number it was clear: this comeback is everything ARMY has been waiting for (and yes, water is wet — boy was there water). BTS also stopped by Hot Ones to take on the wings of death, and let's be real… did the final two standing surprise anyone? After years of a trickle, BTS content is straight-up Niagara Popo right now. It's good to be ARMY, y'all. Show notes: BTS on Hot Ones Swim Music Video 2.0 Music Video Hooligans Music Video
