    We Put Cartoon Characters on the Kinsey Scale…

    Are these cartoon characters actually gay… or are we just projecting? In this episode, we put some of our favorite childhood characters on the Kinsey Scale and things got… heated. From Shaggy to Squidward to Elsa, we’re debating who’s straight, who’s not, and who is absolutely not beating the allegations. We also spiral through a chaotic round of Five Second Rule (yes, it goes exactly how you think), test our honesty with Sour Truth, and somehow end up saying things we probably shouldn’t have said on camera.If you’ve ever watched a cartoon and thought “wait…” this one’s for you.
