Naked Subjects with Gerardo, Giuseppe and Platano

We are back! In this episode, we discuss California Bill AB 2098, which limits what an individual Doctor can recommend to a patient. We also get into a recent development in NYC which will make handguns accessible where they previously were not.  Gerardo's life is revolutionized by a new bathroom appliance, and Platano closes things out with an incident which is utterly revolting, and not for those with weak stomachs. Until next time...

Recent developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence, computing and robotics are making what were once the fanciful products of science fiction an imminent reality. Namely, robots that can rescue, kill, provide companionship, and fulfill myriad other functions in ways that may be indistinguishable, perhaps even superior, than what real humans can. Will this happen within our lifetime? Are we ready? Join us as we tackle the sometimes enticing, sometimes disturbing implications of where this tide will take us...

We're back, and it's been quite a tumultuous ride. In two decisions whose implications are historically significant, Roe v Wade is overturned, and Second Amendment right have been expanded. The public upheaval has been significant, and is certain to continue. Listen in as Gerardo, Giuseppe and our guest Atomic Betty offer their honest views on these latest developments. In this discussion, which gets tumultuous at times, you'll get truly honest perspectives on different sides of the spectrum. What you won't get is the sanctimonious sloganeering that all too often a part of hot button debates. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

So Putin decides to make a move, and the Ukrainian people are stuck in the middle. Besides the people trying to live their lives in peace, are there any good guys at the leadership level? Is Zelensky an innocent hero or another dictator with a good PR game? What, if any, rationale is there for Putin to do what he did? Can we intervene without the prospect of nuclear war or economic disaster? These are hard questions which the Naked Subject crew tackles, with blunt  perspectives on all sides of isle, minus the contrived media narratives. Have a listen and let us know what you think on our Instagram and Facebook pages! Until next time...

Weee're....Baaack! After a lengthy, Covid-borne  hiatus , the team is behind the mics once again. The world has gone through quite a bit, and we proudly bring you the perspectives of a Colombian-American self-defense expert with a fetish for melee weapons, an Italian-American accountant with testosterone coursing through his blood (and medicine cabinet), and a young drummer who is part Colombian, Part Puerto Rican and all about getting through his hangover. Join us as we discuss the ramifications of the slew of recent social upheavals on the ideals of free speech, and liberty at large.  Until next time...

In this episode, we discuss the current investigation of Hillary Clinton, which alleges that her campaign illegally spied on, and knowingly spread false information about Donald Trump's collusion with the Russians. Was that case a hoax? Is this a witch hunt against Clinton? How dirty will this election get? Quite, according to Giuseppe, as he drops some illuminating facts about the Electoral College...

Giuseppe does some fact checking, and weighs in on letting Kamala speak, as well as his reservations about Pence's disposition.

The implications can be somewhat troubling, and we explore some hard questions...

Joined once again by Atomic Betty, we discuss the legacy Supreme Court Justice and American Icon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has passed away. Gerardo and Atomic Betty feel that, whether one agrees with her stances or not, her contributions to American Law warrant their fair share of recognition. Giuseppe disagrees, mayhem ensues.

She also presents her reasons for why she thinks Giuseppe's sex, in her words, whack, much to Gerardo's amusement. Check it out!

This time around, we talk about BLM, the crime wave that has hit Giuseppe's neighborhood, and get into a sometimes difficult conversation about what happens when science and statistics produce controversial results. Is it possible to fearlessly confront uncomfortable information while maintaining social sensitivity? Gerardo also discusses how taking Giuseppe for a walk in his 'hood can lead to embarrassing consequences. Check it out!

The crew engages in some real talk on staying in shape and staying safe.

He presents the latest evidence from the scientific world (which he believes is subject to shenanigans), as well as two live guests who claim to have had encounters with the ancient, giant hominid roaming the wilderness. Will Gerardo be convinced, or will he remain the closed-minded, skeptical Killjoy that so frustrates Giuseppe? Tune in and find out!

In this latest installment of the show, Gerardo and Giuseppe sound off on the recent surge in violent crime in our country, how it relates to the Second Amendment, and ask whether law enforcement is being used for political aims. We also talk steroid shortages, the fine points of sticking needles into yourself, and the dynamics of sexual bribery in the marriage bed. Tune in, and if you like it, spread the word!

Platano is back...and he is pissed! He's been listening to Giuseppe talk his shit about Corona being a hoax, and he's having none of it. After he laces into the rest of the crew, we get into the defund/abolish the police movement, the state of policing in America and the protests that continue to gain momentum along with our guest Chad, one of the whitest guys we know (even though Gerardo immediately chastises him for his privilege, he's a pretty good guy)...

Gerardo and Giuseppe discuss the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of the police. In a candid conversation that turns contentious at times, they express their views on abuse of power, systemic racism and the social unrest that erupts as a result. Check it out!

This time around, we get into a case which should disturb anyone concerned with the overreach of governmental power, that of Breonna Taylor, a nurse who was killed in a volley of police bullets during a no-knock raid at her home, which turned out to be the wrong address, with the intended suspect already in custody. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, a legal gun owner, fired a single shot at the door, as he was under the impression that a home invasion was under way. The ensuing volley killed Breonna, and he was charged with the attempted murder of a police officer.

Listen in, as we explore all these questions and more, in this first of what, unfortunately, will be a continuing series of episodes exploring life under the Covid-19...

On this episode, we are proud to announce the aptly named Atomic Betty as our guest. Betty and her husband are adherents of the Polyamorous lifestyle, in which each person is allowed to maintain outside relationships, subject to the approval and consent of the partners.

In this episode, we discuss Gerardo's experience and the Gay Pride Parade in NYC. Giuseppe and Platano were nowhere to be found (speaking of Platano, someone should tell him not to drop acid when recording). We also discuss the response to the event in the form of a proposed Straight Pride Parade, and the history of the ancient Sumerians, a subject dear to Giuseppe's heart. Gerardo's main concern is how primitive societies handled post-bowel-movement cleanup. There's an answer to that, and it ain't pretty!

3 American-born New Yorkers, all with immigrant parents get together to discuss topics of the day, and life in general. Gerardo was born in Queens with Colombian parents. He grew up in the streets of Jackson Heights, doing his best to stay out of trouble by working out and reading books, often invoking the ridicule of his hood-rat peers. Translating his passion for fitness and avoiding danger into something useful, he has made his living as a fitness and self defense instructor for a number of years. Giuseppe grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn when it was cheap and dangerous, before the hipsters arrived. A fervent admirer of Ronald Reagan from the age of 10, social rejection was a way of life for him. An accountant by trade and a caveman by nature, he enjoys lifting weights, admires hirsute women, and needs to do deep breathing exercises at the mere mention of liberals. Platano, like Gerardo is also a product of the mean streets of Jackson Heights. He is half Puerto Rican and half Colombian. From a later generation than his co-hosts, he also embraced the streets with a higher level of enthusiasm. At some point he developed a deep passion for music and never looked back. The result is something between a hoodlum on the corner and an ascetic monk. He is married to the drums and enjoys boxing, comic books and the avoidance of normal society. See what happens when these three highly conflicted but arguably insightful guys weigh in on the topics of the day, and life issues in general...
