Bim was even more amazing in person, as you suspected. I know Nichole really well so I KNEW she was perfect going in, but Bim was a revelation.

Oscar Isaac saying his ethnic hips were too big for the Millennium Falcon SENT me. As someone who witnessed the glory of his thighs in dark grey boxer shorts when he played Hamlet, I completely agree.

I'm back on that stupid and confusing Adam Driver train causeof Star Wars. I'm like 75% sure it's just that Kylo Ren is the exact kind of terrible goth dude I would have fawned over in high school, and I sure resent being reminded of that. (But also I love it.)

Because my type is "wiry, almost scrawny dudes" I have to say John Mulaney.

This is probably a good place to share my Mariska Hargitay Fantasy, were we eat at a red sauce Italian place while talking about our feelings then she gives me a hug and tells me I'm doing a great job.

This is extremely unrelated BUT I offered pictures of my pup while pumpkin picking and failed to provide! Here is my child taking selfies in the corn maze, she's excellent at selfies, and also her trying on her Halloween costume which seemed to both baffle and spook her in turn hence her strange expressions: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5LRrJFzEMLXBVDd19

This episode made me finally start Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries! Y'all sold me HARD on Jack Robinson. Thank you.

Is it appropriate to be thirsty about Roman Roy and Gerri Kellman? Power Femme for sure and Roman is....a man child. I DON'T KNOW.

Anyway, you are the wittiest and could find ample employment on a phone sex line if you so desired.

You were so fantastic and spoke so much truth into my bisexual heart 💜

I’m currently crushing hard on pretty much the entire cast of The Good Place; particular shoutouts to Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Jason Mantzoukas 👀

I've been thirsting after David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for over 25 years. You pegged (lol) both of them beautifully but you perfectly described DD's appeal regarding the bathroom thing.

My favorite hobby is cross stitching. I’m finishing up my first stitch along and I forgot how much I hate back stitching.

i think being in a stable long term relationship with a Cis Man has amplified my thirst for hot, talented, inaccessible women. Caroline Polachek... omg

It was so great! I listened on the way to work and had to cool off the car heater when y'all discussed Jack Robinson. Unfff.

As always, I am feeling Extremely Gay Feelings for Sophie Turner. Sometimes I feel bad about it because she's still very young, but she's only 7 years younger than me so that's no so bad for admiring from afar, right?? I'm not even a whole year older than her husband....

a) I was super into your voice, Nicole, so please feel free to start a podcast or visit more of them, so I can thirst objectify you(r voice) more plz.

b) You all have finally talked me into giving Man from UNCLE another chance. I just wasn't into it when it came out but now I'm a convert. I just need to buy it digitally to watch it.

c) Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Lopez, Mackenzie Davis, Lee Pace, Matthew Goode, Anna Torv, Aisling Bea, hot priests/vicars, Henry Golding, Hayley Atwell. My thirst usually stems from good eyebrows or voices. Or arms.

Anson Mount, specifically as Cpt Pike on Star Trek: Discovery. Totally the “Stern Man” type, 100% does it for me

I am soooo late to this convo, but has anyone else watched Our Boys and realized Shlomi Elkabetz is THE HOTTEST? He's giving me Stanley Tucci vibes, but with soulful eyes that have Seen Too Much, ugh he's just lowkey amazing. Our Boys (10 hr long episodes on hbo) is a really nuanced, balanced look at a heavy subject, I did not expect to develop a new crush while watching.

Padma Lakshmi. Beautiful, sexy, funny, activist! Quite frankly she’s too much I can’t handle it. My Instagram follows are not thirsty but for her. But to be fair I also follow Tom Colicchio!

my current thirst object is my birding guide from last week... hails from Madrid, knows his birds, and also is a fantastic cook (he provided lunch with the trip). In the absence of thirst objects, which in advanced middle age is frequent, I go birding.

Every member of Iceland's Eurovision entry from this year, Hatari. Anti-capitalists in sexy BDSM outfits, what's not to love.

the words "if you are not a thirsty person" don't make sense to me in that order. like, is that a real sentence? my thirst is my lifeblood. current thirst objects: entire cast of HTGAWM

Nicole I think the Venn diagram of men we fancy is more or less a circle but above all this episode reminded me that more than anything I love Jack Robinson. Schoolgirl crush style

I’m obsessed with the silver fox version of Jeremy Strong.

Saw Late Night recently and reignited my thirst for Hugh Dancy even though he turns out to be a dick in the movie

WHY do I have such a crush on Jeremy Strong, I have a bunch of types but he is none of them and yet. I think it's the smile.

Aww... I mean, I'm thirsty SOMEtimes, but also I like writing fanfiction about people who are VERY thirsty and I think I'm getting into bonsai right now?

Random and yet.....I *thirst* for (theatre director) David Leveaux. Damn.

I haven't listened yet but I absolutely cannot wait!!!!!! I'm so excited for this ep.

Current thirst object? Keanu Reeves. My god that man. I would burn my life to the ground for him. But he'd never ask or accept that because hes just too kind.

This one's a lil weirder but I'm newly obsessed with Tobias Forge from the band Ghost. like. that shit came out of left field but it's happening and I'm embracing it with my whole goth adjacent heart.

You're voice was so sexy, Nicole!

The episode was excellent, thank you. I did get confused at one point cos I was looking at twitter reading your (live) tweets, and listening to you talk at the same time, thinking "dang, she's good at mulittasking!

I have many current thirst objects, inlcuding Oscar Isaac. But I have a question for everyone. I only realised he was sexy after listening to the TAK about him, even though I've seen the Star Wars movies. Am I alone here? Was he sexy in Star Wars?

You saw so acutely into my feelings about Bill Tench and Gillian Anderson! Yes!

On other current thirst objects, I saw Hell And High Water for the first time the other night and I have not stopped thinking about Chris Pine since. His smoulder in it is the height of Too Muchery.

Loved this episode! So great!

Because I'm into scrawny, talented British actors (repetitively redundant?), I'm currently particularly into Joe Gilgun, especially on Preacher. He and Ruth Negga together just killed me.
