Show notes

In this episode of We Talk Back, AJ Holiday and TamBam kick things off with a hilarious debate over South Carolina slang, arguing whether “bo” belongs to Charleston or Columbia before recapping their weekends and teasing the Patreon with details from AJ’s latest date. The conversation turns to Young Thug’s court-ordered school appearance, where the hosts react to reports that he told students “fame is the most important thing” and debate the potential impact of that message on young people. AJ and TamBam also unpack the complicated case of a surrogate who reportedly traveled to Texas to give birth after refusing to follow an abortion provision in her agreement when the baby was diagnosed with serious heart conditions, sparking a nuanced discussion about bodily autonomy, surrogacy contracts, parental expectations, and quality of life.

After the break, the hosts lighten things up with “Smash or Pass: Lifestyle Edition,” putting modern dating, relationships, money, and everyday habits under the microscope. AJ and TamBam weigh in on dating someone with children, large age gaps, living together before marriage, long-distance relationships, separate bedrooms, joint bank accounts, splitting bills, quick engagements, prenups, lending partners money, and navigating major income differences. They also debate designer spending and financing, quitting a job while in a relationship, GLP-1 medications, Botox, long voice notes, bonnets in public, and plenty more. Funny, candid, and relatable, the episode explores which lifestyle differences are worth compromising on—and which ones are an automatic pass.
