Summary

This week in the broad church of TAK, we zero in on a very specific category: animated baes. That’s right: cartoon men, big cats, bears, and more. Gena-mour Barrett of BuzzFeed UK joins us for our most raucous conversation of the season so far, featuring  thoughts on thicc tigers and foxy Robin Hood. Keep listening for a very special Thirst Sommelier where we update a childhood crush to someone more adult-sized. Don’t blame us if you start looking at Captain Planet in a different light. Read more from Gena: Are These Disney Animal Characters Hot Or Are You Just Really Weird? We couldn't fit everyone into this episode (no Trent from Daria, no anime) but tell us your faves by tweeting us @ThirstAidKit. Bim is @bimadew and Nichole is @tnwhiskeywoman. Do you need help figuring out your next crush? Drop us a line! Leave us a message at (765) 8-THIRST (765-884-4778) with your name and what kind of crush advice you're looking for, and maybe we'll answer your question in an upcoming Thirst Sommelier. Find show notes, fanfic, and more on our Tumblr.  Follow us on  for thirsty GIFs. Our music is by Tanya Morgan. For your safety, we recommend that you avoid operating heavy machinery while listening to Thirst Aid Kit.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Listening to Fleetwood back and maybe heart solid I go upstairs and come back down with a special present

Bob won't notice at first

0:24.3

BEEP and a new application of red lipstick

0:35.2

He'd immediately stop what he was doing and come to me

Hi, I'm Bim and I'm Nicole and you're listening to their state kit

Nicole, yeah this week we are talking about something that is perhaps a little bit niche

1:12.8

Except not that niche because we will watch these things and they were part of our lives

1:17.4

But we are talking about animated characters in particular this week and that's that's a broad church
