Summary

We always had an eye on John Boyega, but for a slew of reasons conditions never quite felt… right. Until now. Now we want to talk about how he’s grown his hair, has been unburdened by a Disney contract, and is finally experiencing the kind of glow up that comes with learning from your mistakes and being given room to grow into your Yoruba destiny. Plus! Fanfic Wars makes its triumphant post-hiatus return, and Nichole’s entry is a straight up murder attempt. Damn. In our Thirst Ais Kit Plus segment this week, we’re talking about a ‘One Time Fancy’ and this time it’s… Kumail Nanjiani. We saw The Lovebirds on Netflix, and now we kinda… sorta… almost? fancy him. It’s a confusing time, y’all. As usual, you can follow us on Twitter @ThirstAidKit. Our music is by Tanya Morgan. You can find show notes, and more on our Tumblr at thirstaidkitpodcast.tumblr.com.

1:34.5	Tell us your neighbor and say neighbor. Oh man I have got sweat under my boobs
1:41.3	on my shirt. Listen, you know, it's June, it's fucking June. Like we came
1:48.2	indoors when it was still springtime. Right and then you know even in May there
1:53.9	were still some brisk days. Right. And then summer arrived and sat its bottom
2:00.3	down and said no I'm here now. So sweat is everywhere. In every possible part of
2:04.5	my body that has a fold the sweat has accumulated. Making everything a damp
2:10.1	adventure. Out in the world just moderately steaming at any given point in
