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.

From deep soul wounds to soulful debates, this episode balances truth, humor, and healing. A grown-ass convo for grown-ass kickbackers.

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. It’s wild. It’s real.

And it’s a conversation you need to hear before forming your opinion.
