We Talk Back

In this episode of We Talk Back, AJ Holiday and TamBam catch up after Labor Day, from AJ hosting her mom’s 70th birthday celebration at Smoke and Bubbles in Columbia, South Carolina, to Tam preparing for a girls trip to Jamaica—with white Hennessy and parasite cleansers on the shopping list. During “SINS,” they react to Boosie Badazz’s 60 Minutes appearance, where he said he paid $600,000 to consultants while seeking a presidential pardon that he never received, sparking a debate over whether publicly exposing the situation counts as “snitching.” They also discuss the reported death of 22-year-old rapper Bloodhound Q50, social media and safety, and a viral conversation about escaping from a Tesla during an emergency.
 
AJ and TamBam then unpack the Lindsay Clancy case, which ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked 11–1, and the intense backlash and scrutiny surrounding the holdout juror. They compare the conversation surrounding Clancy with the case of Latarsha Sanders, whose Massachusetts murder conviction was overturned after the state’s highest court ruled that excluding medical records related to her mental-health defense was prejudicial error. After the break, the hosts debate whether moving abroad really offers a better life, weighing peace and quality of life against taxes, healthcare, racism, cost of living, and the glamorized version of expat life often presented online.
