Summary

It’s true that we have thirst-buckets all over the world, but Thirst Aid Kit went truly international for the first time — doing a live show at the Hot Docs Podcast Festival In Toronto! Yes, we took our unique brand of lusting out loud to the Great White North, and were met with all the warmth of our Canadian thirst team. We were ably aided by two fabulously thirsty guests: TK Matunda and Kyrell Grant, who shared with us their knowledge and appreciation for thirst objects as varied as Jemaine Clement, Richard Ayoade, Donald Glover, Ezra Miller, and Stanley ‘The Tooch’ Tucci. There were gasps of delight and impromptu dancing on stage, plus we played live Thirst Sommelier with our lovely audience, live drabble writing and reading in Fanfic Wars (with a twist), and of course, all the dirty auntie chuckles you could ever want. Happy Thirstgiving! Do you need help figuring out your next crush? Drop us a line!

0:33.8

ourselves down. It was in fact a masterpiece of live podcasting. I don't mean to brag. I'm just

0:39.4

telling the truth because when it was done, I was like, man, I wish I wasn't the audience to enjoy

0:43.7

that amazing show because I felt that in my shonder. Yeah. And we got such, it sounds a little

0:52.0

egotistical. What praise, you know, I mean, is it egotistical if it's the truth? I mean, it was

0:57.6

it was great. The next day we went into a brunch with all these other podcasters and the people who

1:02.1

were participating in the festival and they basically swarmed us to tell us how much they love this show.

1:07.3

I mean, at one point, I think I have to say please no pictures. Because we were doing, so I mean,

1:13.5

okay, so the thing is, we think that we're putting out slowly gold every week because you know,

1:17.4

we have healthy egos, obviously, but it does mean something when you are at a festival that is

1:23.0

for your industry and everybody's telling you just how much of a great show you put on the night

1:28.1

before. Like there is nothing like the praise of your peers. Exactly. Exactly. And it was just so

1:35.4

refreshing also and rejuvenating, you know, to our spirits just to have all these people tell us

Listen, I am going to find those two charming men and I'm going to give them a very small cookie

1:58.4

each because they really big to solve and they didn't have to. They did not have to. A whole 30 for

2:04.3

30. Exactly. So that's that was the level of joy that we had. And you know, shout out to our

2:09.3

producers who were tireless on the day and in the run up to it because they really put their whole

2:13.7

foot into this episode. And I am appreciative of the amazing people at Hot Dogs as well.
