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.

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.
