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.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/HY0cm8K6MVuxopLrQhayo-QnV2U8dei_e9bkPMkEHzo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZWMx/MjlhYTFiYzc3ZDE5/YjFiZDg0MWNkNTQ2/OTExNS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
