Ghosts Never Die A Pod Named Kickback podcast

1:42:48

On this episode, No Brakes Nu and Jack pay tribute to the late, great Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who tragically passed in a drowning accident in Costa Rica. Nu opens up about his own near-death experience on a capsized boat during his recent trip—and the blessing of surviving when someone so impactful didn’t. The crew reflects on Warner’s legacy as a good man, a quiet cultural icon, and why real ones deserve to be mourned loudly, publicly, and with love. Then the convo shifts to the opposite—figures like Hulk Hogan and Neon, who used their platforms to demean Black people and now seek sympathy or silence. Nu keeps it real: if you were a piece of shit in life, don’t expect sainthood in death. Just because you shaped a childhood doesn’t mean you get a pass. Racism doesn’t come with a redemption tour over time—we don’t mourn you the same, and we don’t forget. Jack also breaks down the controversial “T-App,” a platform where women anonymously share dating info on men. We call out the corny, the lazy, and the dangerous, and talk accountability on all sides. Plus: heat check on the latest fire music from Chris Brown, Benny the Butcher, and Alfredo 2 by Alchemist x Freddie Gibbs—heavy contenders for album of the year. It’s a full-circle conversation on who we honor, who we hold accountable, and who we just keep it movin’ on from. Real talk. Real mourning. Real music. Real kickback. #Kickbackers, tap in. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

On this emotionally unfiltered episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu’ delivers his most vulnerable session to date. Inspired by the haunting chorus from Clipse’s new track “Birds Don’t Sing”—“they scream in pain”—Nu confronts some of his deepest wounds in real time, shedding real tears on camera for the first time in the podcast’s history. From the heartbreak of being kept from JB’s kids to the lifelong fracture with his own father, this one isn’t clean or polished—it’s raw, it’s jagged, and it’s real. The Clipse reunion album opens wounds about loss, love, and grief, reminding Nu of losing Aunt Joyce, his mother, and the emotional debris they left behind. The episode also dives into the biggest stories of the week, including Trump reportedly destroying $97 million in contraceptives, new music from Raekwon, Benny the Butcher, Giveon, and Justin Bieber, plus thoughts on Love Analytics and the latest episode of BMF—with the usual BMF jokes about co-host Jacq, of course. This is an episode where the birds didn’t sing—they screamed. And so did the truth ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

This week, No Brakes Nu’ and GetFitWithJacq dive into a heavy but necessary conversation. The tragic passing of Young Noble from Tupac’s group, The Outlawz, hit close to home—especially for Nu, who reflects on the pain of losing someone who once inspired him not to give up. From that raw emotion, they shift into a powerful dialogue on mental health, deal breakers in relationships, and why standing on your non-negotiables matters. They also break down the Diddy case, the murky lines between justice and vendettas, and the chaos of public opinion in the Black community. Plus, a heroic father who saved his daughter earns this week’s Nipsey Hussle Award. This episode is about truth, pain, growth—and most importantly, holding on when life gets dark.

On this powerful episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu and GetFitWithJack hold space for a raw and unfiltered conversation in honor of Men’s Mental Health Month. Nu opens up about personal betrayals, mental health struggles, and what it means when your so-called “bros” move funny during your darkest hours. The convo widens into a deep dive on the importance of therapy, vulnerability, and the misunderstood power of manifestation — not just wishing, but working for what you speak into existence. Then things heat up as the squad breaks down Trump’s latest military aggression and the U.S.’s thirst for war, especially in the Middle East. Nu doesn’t hold back on the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling out the historical and ongoing injustices with brutal honesty. But it’s not all fire and fury — Billboard’s Top 75 R&B Artists list brings the laughs, eye-rolls, and passionate debates. How you got a Top 10 with no Luther? No Babyface? Miss us with that.

In this week’s episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu' and Get Fit with Jacq take a deep dive into the viral Haley Bailey & DDG situation—specifically unpacking the controversial topic of postpartum depression. Nu' breaks down his viral social media post and the firestorm that followed: men vs. women, assumptions vs. empathy, and what it really means to support a woman through postpartum when even she may not know she’s struggling. “It’s not just crying in silence—it can be behavior that’s unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable. So how do we protect the baby, the mother, and the family unit?” From there, the convo expands to: How celebrity custody battles affect the children long-term Diddy’s dark spiral and the bizarre pattern of free-for-all sexual requests The ongoing genocide in Gaza, with heartbreaking footage of Palestinians being gunned down while trying to get food The brewing cold war between Trump & Elon Musk—money vs. political power, and who really wins when billionaires and world leaders clash It’s deep.
