In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by returning guests Ish from the (Joe Budden Podcast) and Barry for a dynamic conversation unpacking the state of modern discourse and the way culture, technology, and gender shape how we think. The episode opens with an introduction and book promotion [00:00] before diving into the rise of parasocial relationships and how echo chambers created online influence how people interact and form opinions [00:56]. From there, the hosts explore the ongoing struggles women face in society [03:47], examining how criticism often intersects with gender and the broader challenges of having one’s voice heard [08:07]. This leads into a larger reflection on the importance of healthy discourse [11:49] and the difficulty of maintaining objectivity in an era dominated by social media [14:41]. The conversation then shifts to the role of algorithms in shaping information consumption [18:00] and how audiences balance education and entertainment when engaging with digital platforms [21:50]. They also dissect the outsized influence of celebrity culture on perceptions of success [24:55], while stressing the importance of forming independent opinions amidst the noise [28:35].

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, Nu and Jacq kept it light(ish) with laughs, nostalgia, and a little mess. We kicked things off with the Petty Hall of Fame—what's the pettiest thing you've ever done? From there we compared the old Atlanta vs. new Atlanta (and how Nu saw the same shift from the old D.C. vs. new D.C.), from jumbo slices to Waffle House, from go-go nights to trap anthems.Then we got into the culture: Young Thug's court case, pillow talk gone public, and why snitching ain't always what it seems. We also debated Ciara changing her son's last name to Russell Wilson's, what it says about Future, and whether that's parenting or just bitter energy.All that plus plenty more Kickback energy. Pull up, pour up, and let's talk about it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
This week, your faves return to the studio with another introspective yet controversial episode. We start off (2:38) the Virgo season with some music from Wizkid & Dr. Side & Don Jazzy's “Surulere” in an episode that is a nod to Wizkid's greatest hits. Then we catch up with each other, with Naomie recapping (7:23) how she's had a pretty depressing week. Then Danny poses the random question (22:23) of the week, courtesy of a pillow talk conversation from The Joe Budden Podcast, where the cast discusses what the rules are for pillow talking to your partner about your friends. Of course, this segment had us in an uproar! On Nana's Corner (1:00:47), we discuss Young Thug's leaked jail call where he calls rapper Glorilla ugly, Russell Wilson giving little Future his last name, + MORE!In the main portion of the show (1:16:42), we discuss extensively the rhetoric around getting married early versus older, the arguments as to which is best, especially in today's social climate, and the reasons why either of us would push for one or the other, even as we're pushing 30. We highlight points in our lives (2:03:10) where we considered marriage but were pegged back by certain factors beyond our control, our opinions on getting married today and what that looks like if we don't take that step in the next 3 - 5 years, and we discuss our views on our friends and colleagues who got married and debate their exposure level at that young age. We also discuss wanting to get married (3:07:03) for our parents because of their age and the desire to see them walk us down the aisle and raise their grandkids, and of course, everything in between.

The inaugural episode of Kickback Travel kicks off with No Brakes Nu' and special guest Heidi B as she takes us through her solo adventures across Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Istanbul, Milan, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Versailles, and Paris.From the party life of Mykonos to the postcard beauty of Santorini, Heidi paints the perfect picture of Greece.

This week's episode kicks off with Jermaine Dupri's bold claim on The Joe Budden Podcast that he could produce an album as big as Thriller. The crew debates whether that's realistic in today's music landscape and what it would take in 2025 to create something with that level of cultural impact. Rome then leads a discussion on teachers and style, sparked by a viral pencil-skirt moment. Are teachers unfairly held to stricter standards, or is personal style part of professionalism? Shan follows with the TikTok coffee date controversy, unpacking whether a coffee meet-up is thoughtful or low-effort, and how social media pressures are reshaping dating expectations. From there, Shan dives into the state of R&B—once dominant in the '90s and 2000s, now reshaped by artists like SZA and Brent Faiyaz. Is this era an evolution or the funeral of traditional R&B? Jab brings some nostalgia with 43 years of the CD, recalling first purchases, lost album booklets, and whether physical music should make a comeback like vinyl. The conversation then shifts to Spirit Airlines' financial turbulence—what budget carriers mean for travelers—and a lighter take on Future's midlife crisis vibes with his new hair color. Jab takes listeners deep into hip-hop's generational divide, asking whether each era claims the next one “killed” the culture, and which decade had the biggest impact. That flows into a debate on hip-hop trends we'd delete forever—from shiny suits to face tattoos to TikTok dance rap—and which ones we'd bring back.

On this week's episode of A Pod Named Kickback, we dove deep into the amygdala—your brain's biggest liar. Nu broke down how it tricks you into thinking you're in danger when you're not, and shared personal therapy lessons and mantras like “I am not in danger right now” and “I did the best I could with the information I had.” We talked about the positive and negative sides of the amygdala, how it ties into relationship trauma, and why healing before you love is just as important as who you love.From there, we pivoted to the culture—Trump's political distractions versus the Epstein files, BigXthaPlug's genre-bending rap-country album, Teyana Taylor's beautiful but skit-heavy project, Ciara and Russell Wilson's independent masterpiece, and Ghostface Killah stepping back into the Album of the Year conversation alongside Clipse, J.I.D., and Chance.The episode brought unexpected laughs too—Nu's high school girlfriend calling live on air just to check in (30 years later!), a spontaneous call about goat yoga (“goats chewing on your hair while you stretch?”), and back-and-forths with our live Kickbackers like Dialed In and Inside the Music.We also announced new moves: Patreon exclusives like Random Ass Nu Thoughts and Kickback Travels, plus Jack's new spinoff That's That with Jacq, focused on sexual health and wellness.It was a classic kickback—raw, funny, thought-provoking, and full of good energy.

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, me and Jacq kicked things off with her Jamaican getaway—specifically, our fascination with why Jamaica's KFC is hyped as the best in the world. From crispy chicken to secret seasoning theories, we had questions.We then dove deep into the difference between eudaimonic happiness—that purpose-driven, soul-aligned fulfillment—and hedonic happiness, those quick bursts of pleasure from a drink, smoke, or night out. We broke down why the first one lasts longer and how we can all do a better job chasing it.From there, we got real about Trump's plan to charge D.C. youth as adults starting at 14. While violent crime in my hometown is undeniably up, I questioned what federal control over D.C. would mean for our future—and for the rest of the country.We also took a moment to honor Robert T. Hood, who was tragically killed in Atlanta, sending love to his family while steering clear of the rumor mill.Finally, we gave y'all a peek at what's next—relaunching the Patreon, bringing back Kickback Sports, new segments like That's That with Jacq, and collaborations with other creators. The vibe's different now that it's me and Jack—and the Kickbackers seem to be loving it.Special Note: The audio you're hearing is just a snapshot.

On this episode, No Brakes Nu and Jacq 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.Jacq 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 ★
