Tongue First

She's a chicken tender, a mom of three, a work-at-home healthcare worker, and a member of the TikTok community who has slowly become a real-life friend. Melissa tells her coming out story: a boyfriend's lesbian best friend, a threesome, a roller derby rink, and a five-year relationship that ended...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Dalyss Saari — artist, mother, and American expat currently living in Birmingham, England, six months into a life she built almost entirely on her own terms. Dalyss opens up about growing up as one of twelve kids and never quite getting the attention she needed, a father whose abuse led to a restraining order when she was just fifteen, and a mothe...

This week on Tongue First, Siren finally gets to interview the woman at the center of so many of this show's stories — Wendy's wife, Jessica Reeves.

This week on Tongue First, Wendy flips the format and sit down to interview Bo-Dara and Squeezy — the two women you've heard reading intros, outros, and ad reads for months, and the two people who make up the rest of Siren's throuple. Squeezy takes us back to 2013, to a panic attack in the corner of a restaurant during the Kentucky Derby that led to a handwritten letter to her parents, a curfew, a...

This week on Tongue First, it's just Siren and Wendy — and Wendy has news. She and Jess got married. On a Tuesday. Less than 72 hours before this recording. Wendy opens up about what made this moment feel different from every relationship before it — real accountability, real reassurance, and the kind of showing up that finally let her stop waiting for the other shoe to drop. She talks honestly ab...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Mitch Grzegorek — Siren's friend of nearly twenty years, met through Xbox Live back in the Halo days, and officially the first straight man to ever guest on this podcast.

This week on Tongue First, Siren is joined by two guests: Valisara — Siren's right hand and the person behind the scenes making this whole thing run — stepping into the co-host chair while Wendy recovers from being sick, and Lisa Smith, a licensed therapist who specializes in EMDR and works closely with queer and neurodivergent clients. This episode gets real fast. Val opens up about experiencing...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome back Jo Del Carmen — our very first return guest, and currently the most listened to episode in the show's history.

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Geli Jimenez — Wendy's close friend, former supervisor, and someone who has lived through more than most people could carry, only to come out the other side kind, grounded, and genuinely at peace. Geli grew up Hispanic and deeply Catholic, realized she was gay watching Practical Magic as a kid, and spent years trying so hard to be straight that sh...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Daisy Barton — trans woman, TikTok creator, full time Uber driver, and one of the most quietly resilient people this show has had the privilege of talking to. Daisy knew she was a girl since she was five years old, growing up in a conservative Christian household where she was told God made her a boy and that was the end of the discussion. She spe...

This week on Tongue First, it's just Siren and Wendy — boxed wine, sparkling water, chewed ice, and no guest. After ten episodes of incredible guests, this one is a deep exhale. They pour a drink and debrief the last couple of weeks — the drama, the snakes in the grass, what emotional manipulation actually looks like, and why accountability is the whole ballgame. They say what needs to be said, an...

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.

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Miss Magali — queer, mixed, musical theater performer, TikTok yapper, and full time gaming streamer who went live to a community of seven people on March 5th and never looked back. Magali came into Siren's life during one of the hardest moments of her TikTok journey — a malicious account ban during Pride month that wiped out everything overnight....

Before season one, before the guests, before the show notes and the Patreon and the weekly production schedule — there was this. This week Tongue First is taking a breath and going back to where it all started. Put Your Whole Mouth On It is the very first episode Siren and Wendy ever recorded, live on TikTok, with absolutely no idea what they were doing and all the chaotic energy that would eventu...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Matthew Lush — aka Gay God — one of the original LGBTQ+ internet personalities, a trailblazer who was turning webcams on in his bedroom and figuring it out in real time before anyone had a name for what he was doing. Matthew has been a presence on the internet for twenty two years. Before TikTok lives, before creator houses, before sponsorship man...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy welcome Sylvie Savage — trans woman, TikTok creator, relationship anarchist, and the person who will absolutely make you question every social construct you've ever accepted without thinking about it. Sylvie's story is not a straight line. It moves through Bible college, religious deconstruction, a marriage, three kids, a miscarriage, a bipolar diagnosis,...

This week on Tongue First , Siren and Wendy welcome Jo Del Carmen — sapphic short story author, TikTok storyteller, and the author behind Women in Papercuts — a collection of true sapphic experiences written with the kind of tension that makes you want to turn down the brightness, light a candle, and get in touch with yourself. Jo brings her full self to the room. A queer Latinx woman who grew up...

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy are back for a solo episode that somehow covers everything from financial fraud to sapphic softness — with a spicy group chat in the middle holding it all together. Wendy kicks things off with a week from hell: a CheapOAir booking disaster and a phone scammer who smooth-talked her out of eighteen hundred dollars by pretending to be her bank. It's a cautio...

This one is a little different.

This week on Tongue First, Siren and Wendy dive into the beautifully weird world of queer community, TikTok Live, parasocial relationships, polyamory, religious trauma, and creator burnout.

Episode 2: Powdered Sugar, Gay Bars, and Jared from the Internet This week, Siren and Wendy are joined by everyone’s favorite sweet little baby angel, Jared from the Internet, for an episode that somehow spirals from Sniffies and gay bars into queer identity, creator burnout, parasocial relationships, chosen family, and the emotional chaos of building real connection online.
