Ep. 79 - It's Giving Backwards Baseball Cap w/ Tommy Do

Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Tommy Do (Overcompensating, The Other Two, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, People We Meet On Vacation, and Hacks) for a chaotic, globe-trotting, and deeply unserious exploration of solo vacations, gay gym culture, and the increasingly cursed state of the internet. From Fort Lauderdale nude beaches and “living for the plot” to Japan travel prep, international sunscreen conspiracies, and the quiet psychological spiral of leaving TikTok, the trio bounce between existential insights and absolute nonsense at breakneck speed. Along the way, they debate whether astrology is real (or just collectively manifested), unpack the subtle horrors of Threads, and attempt to reset Brian’s Hinge algorithm live on air. A listener calls in after being pushed out of her family for coming out as bisexual and simply answering her niece’s questions with honesty. Jana and Brian unpack the painful reality of conditional love, the power of being the “cool aunt” who shows up authentically, and what it means to choose yourself when your family won’t. They offer advice on navigating rejection, building chosen family, and why sometimes the most powerful move is simple: slay, move away, and let them deal with the consequences.FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Tommy Do (@tommy__do)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?
