A Pod Named Kickback

On this episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu’ and Jacqui dive into something we all feel but rarely talk about — real connection. Not DMs, not algorithms, not emojis… we’re talking old-school connection. Eye contact. Energy. Physical interaction. Real conversations that mean something.


We dig into how the world has shifted so far into scrolling and swiping that we barely talk anymore — not deeply, not intentionally, not romantically, not platonically. And that’s the real issue: not what the connection is based on, but the fact that most people ain’t connecting at all.


From there, we take it deeper —

• Family, legacy, and building the right business that gives the right reward

• Why we still chase the creative itch, whether it’s music or content, and how it means something different now than it did when we were younger

• And ultimately, why humans still want to be part of something real… something meaningful… even if it costs us pieces of our old identity


This ain’t just a conversation — it’s a reminder that purpose, connection, and community still matter. That’s why the Kickback exists. That’s why you pull up every week. #Kickbackers

What is A Pod Named Kickback?

I’m No Brakes Nu’, host of A Pod Named Kickback. I spent 20 years as a rapper from DC who has appeared on 106 & Park, MTV’s Direct Effect and became a legend in DC and the DMV for selling my CD’s out of the trunk of my car and making fire music and music videos that watched like short movies. Never forget. I launched my internet radio show in April of 2012. The last few years I switched it to an official podcast and on this podcast I discuss the biggest stories in pop culture, politics, music, sex, and sports. Some weeks I find one idea I’d like to discuss and solely focus on that. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I invite some of the brightest, most engaging and entertaining minds I can find to have these discussions with me on my virtual kickback. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I invite listeners on the podcast too. I record live at 7PM on Sunday nights on youtube. As I come up on my 12th year of edutaining you I only ask that you subscribe to the vibe and tell a friend to do so as well. #NoBrakes
