No Brakes in the Friend Zone

When does “just friends” really mean just friends? This week on A Pod Named Kickback, Nu’ and Jacquie (yeah, that’s J-A-C-Q-U-I-E!) dive into the messy truth about the friend zone — why most people waiting there aren’t real friends, and why being “the nice guy” doesn’t entitle you to anything. From there, the crew flips into a packed Kickback: celebrating SNAP benefits staying intact (and saying fuck Trump for trying to starve the people), breaking down new music from rising artist Chino, and sharing Nu’s Halloween movie review of X — the wild horror flick about a killer old lady with a thirst for sex. Nu’ also opens up about his love for romance stories with Ruth & Boaz, the upcoming New Edition x Boyz II Men x Toni Braxton tour (and his real-life connection to every one of them), and how October turned out to be his best month yet — in sales, in streaming, and in spirit. Now he’s claiming “Nu’-vember” as the next level. Manifestation in motion. No brakes, no limits. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
