This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Adam and Topher — husbands, TikTok creators, and the two sweet little baby angels behind some of the most joyful corners of the internet, including a coffee brand with attitude and a nightly raccoon dinner party that has to be seen to be believed.
Adam spent sixteen years in ministry as a worship pastor before a karaoke bar, a Family Force Five t-shirt, and a phone number he kept for weeks without ever using changed everything. Topher came out twice — once to a father who pushed him right back into the closet, and again two years later to a mom whose response was simply, "What did you want, a parade?" Their stories are different, but they landed in the same place: a marriage, a home, and a backyard full of trash pandas.
Together, Siren, Wendy, Adam, and Topher talk about coming out, faith and what happens to it when the people who taught it to you can't accept you, losing your entire friend group overnight, what the scriptures actually said before translation got involved, being nonbinary and letting people use whatever pronouns come out, and why Topher insists on the word husband.
A heads up: partway through the episode, Adam shares a deeply personal story about a lie that was spread about him after coming out — and what it almost cost him. It's one of the heaviest and most important stories the show has held, and he tells it with remarkable grace.
Also: Siren's and Wendy's custom coffee blends, Blonde and Perky, Basic Bitch, a pecan pie that started everything, Rhonda and the raccoon committee, a bird dating simulator, and the gay pancakes you've been waiting for.
If you've ever had to come out more than once, lost your community for being yourself, or just needed proof that the story can end with joy — this one is for you.
