We Talk Back Podcast: “Molly, You In Danger Girl” (April 2, 2026)
Hosts: TamBam & AJ Holiday

Episode Overview

In this vibrant and comedic episode, TamBam and AJ Holiday explore an unexpected but timely theme: survival—both literal and social. Blending hilarious anecdotes, cultural critique, and genuine advice, the duo delves into how prepared (or unprepared) we are for worst-case scenarios. They weave in trending news (from Facebook Marketplace drama to viral misbehavior on planes), hot takes on relationships and gender roles, and a deep dive into how Black women, in particular, might navigate societal collapse. Underneath the laughter and playful shade, there’s a serious question: Are you ready if it all goes left?
