No Disrespect

Some decisions have to be made in a split second; not every situation has the luxury of planning and preparation. Living in a world heavily based on public approval, what you decide can have an echoing effect so almost every answer or decision has to be coordinated - damn, that's a lot of pressure! This episode I'm joined by show regulars Raul Parrilla aka Putt and Nick D'Amato where we chop it up over eating food off the floor, feminine drinks, bald women, noisy neighbors and race misidentification!

Everyone has boundaries; we all draw the line somewhere… but are we sometimes influenced by public opinion? Do we do things because it's what we want or because it's expected of us? Do you deny yourself things because of scrutiny? This episode I'm joined by my cousin and show regular Raul aka Putt and the homie Chris L where we discuss step-siblings, organ donation, handicapped parking and brain microchips!

Are decisions being made for us even when we are unconscious? Some identity dreams as reality, along the lines of fortune telling. Then there are those who argue that even in utero, choices are being made. My cousin even argues that nose shapes can be interpreted - it can be quite difficult, almost impossible, to navigate through the human brain unscathed. Joined by show regulars Raul Parrilla aka Putt and Nick D'Amato, this episode we're putting our brains together to discuss psych wards, birth order/I.Q. correlation, long septum's, Jesus' updated look and dream interpretation! So put on your thinking caps and be sure to tune in! IG - Putt:@just_putt / Nick:@nick.natural --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisjirau/support

Living in today's society, it's easy to become subjectable to self criticism. In a world where appearance is constantly scrutinized, it makes you think twice about taking your clothes off in front of somebody. Even movies are using computer effects now to make actors look younger. Is appearance really everything though? Joined by my paisan Nick D'Amato and the Bronx Bomber himself, Peter Castro, this episode we're chopping it up over racial facial hair, sex with socks on, changing in locker rooms and CGI Robert De Niro!

People see things in black-and-white or in full color — you either see things with rose colored glasses or dark shades. Perception is based on an individuals reality so trying to convince someone otherwise is usually close to impossible… but always worth a try! Joined by two of the most opinionated people I know, Sam Pemberton and Chris Lorenzo, this episode we're arguing over guys dancing, discolored hands, Trump's similarities to Allen Iverson and the word “nuclear.” IG - Sam:@samrealnyc / Chris L:@clorenzo0921 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisjirau/support

Does our sex really play a role in our positions in life — are we programmed to believe that certain genders are better at certain things and vice versa? What about race, does that count too? In a nutshell, how many of our opinions are based on whether you're a man or woman? This episode I'm joined by show regulars Raul Parrilla aka Putt and Nick D'Amato where we discuss male babysitters, holding doors, white lies and hot tea consumption! IG-Putt:@just_putt / Nick:@nick.natural

Life comes at you fast; every decision requires balance — a little of this, little of that…but if you tip the scales too much, you may topple over. From having children to life mantras, what exactly are the “right” decisions? This episode I'm joined by my cousins Raul aka Putt and Lorenzo, who's visiting from hot ass Arizona. Listen in as we discuss alternate pregnancy methods, hallucinating, intimate farting and life in Arizona! IG - Putt:@just_putt / Lorenzo:lorenzo_jirau

It's said that timing is everything — something along the lines of right place, right time. Outcomes, good or bad, are all dependent on our starting positions so whether it's observational or physical, the earlier you are aware, the better your odds! Joined by show regular Nick D'Amato and my unpredictable cousin Mike Parrilla, this episode we're trying to wrap our heads around white hobbies, returning lost wallets, vacation dress codes, Hitler and alien time travelers! Don't waste anymore time and be sure to tune in! IG — Nick:@nick.natural / Mike:@mike_parrilla

While there are many things that us humans have in common, culturally we are often a worlds apart. So whether you are traveling overseas or to your neighbors house, it can take some getting used to, following all the traditions and protocols; but how much culture are you really ready to absorb? Joined by the Italian Stallion Nick D'Amato and my next door neighbor, my frequent drinking partner, Jeremy Flaco, this episode we try to figure out bowing your head protocol, animal testosterone, Queen Elizabeth and bland cooking! Every international traveler needs to hear this! IG - Nick:@nick.natural

Our word is our bond; people are usually judged by accountability. Do you keep your word?! Are you someone who follows through? A person is only as strong as the promises they keep… but what kind of dedication do you really have? Do you always do the right thing? Joined by show regulars Sam Pemberton and Nick D'Amato, this episode we're discussing donating to sperm banks, giving up seats to pregnant women, car accidents and robbing banks! IG - Sam:@samjpem/Nick:@nick.natural

Any guy that tells you he's not worried about a woman's opinion is probably lying. Mostly anything that we do, we worry about what the opposite gender will think. With that being said, it can sometimes be difficult for some men when a woman is in control. Worlds colliding! This episode I'm joined by my paisan Nick D'Amato and show regular, my cousin, Raul Parrilla (Putt)! Listen in this episode where we discuss dating tall women, pregnant women dating and female-given prostate exams!

Are you really comfortable with yourself? Like, how many people get to to see the real you? Are you someone that stands in front of your decisions or hides behind them? While some people are open books, others are guarded like vaults, revealing little to nothing. But be honest, ever used the bathroom while someone else was in the shower? I'll wait…lol With the help of a bottle of D'Usse cognac and a little encouragement from me, this episode I'm joined by my boy DayDay Haggan, my next door neighbor Jeremy Flaco and my uncle Tony Jirau where we discuss women farting, male grooming habits, being a confidential work informant and dual bathroom usage! IG - DayDay:@damndayday/Tony:@tony__fingers/Jeremy:@remyflaco

The brain is a fascinating thing; while it has the ability to absorb knowledge, it's also subjectable to suggestion if not properly safeguarded. Differentiating between what's real and what's not is a daunting task so it's highly important to monitor what you filter in and out of your head. But on the other hand, the brain also has the ability to adapt; you never know what you're capable of until you're faced with having to make those decisions! Joined by my cousin Raul aka Putt and fellow thespian Hugh Jones, this episode we're mind melding on dropping acid, sexual stamina, Pittsburg platters, ADHD and phobias! IG - Raul:@just_putt / Hugh:@hughyorkcity

Different homes have different rituals, each maintaining some level of perceived balance; but what may be acceptable in one household may be inexcusable in another. From grade school to adulthood, we've all had our fair share of unique visits to peoples homes. I guess the definition of a “normal” home depends on who's doing the visiting. Along with show regulars Peter Castro and Sam Pemberton, this episode we're discussing toothbrush sharing, semen detection, aggressive mothers, Will Smith and taking dumps at peoples houses! IG - Sam: @samjpem / Peter: @petecastro78

In the era of hypersensitivity, you have to think twice about anything you say or do because every observation is usually accompanied by an unsolicited opinion. From taking too many pictures, eating habits and even bathing rituals, someone will always have something to say so always be ready to atone for your “sins” at any given moment. With the help of my two cousins Nick D'Amato and DayDay Haggan, this episode we're discussing hot dogs, prison gangs, washcloths, loose bowels and funeral behavior! IG - Nick: @nick.natural / DayDay: @damndayday

Someone once said sex is a weapon so be careful where you're aiming. Bang! Whether it's a penis or a vagina, you should always proceed with caution and never keep your finger on the trigger for too long! Along with the bro and show regular Sam Pemberton, this episode we're joined by newcomer, the luscious one himself, Edgar Pauta. Listen in as we discuss frostbitten penises, trans athletes, sexual baseball and blacks in the Ukraine! IG - Sam: @samjpem / Edgar: @riverpaul13

People often get confused with the terms and conditions of “freedom of speech”. While we all have the freedom of saying whatever we want, it doesn't exclude us from the consequences of those words. Individuals who exercise this liberty sometimes find themselves on the wrong end of things but where do we draw the line; how does one pursue creative freedom while also being socially sensitive? Is it even possible? Along with my bros Sam Pemberton and Peter Castro, this episode we're cutting it up over gym nudity, Joe Rogan, believing in Santa Clause and underground rats! IG - Sam:@samjpem / Peter:@petecastro78

I believe everyone should support their neighborhood, shop local, interact with others and whatnot... but at what cost? From dealing with manic depressant neighbors, bargaining with crackheads over “new” headphones and people wanting to take trips to Midgetville, a person can only take but so much. Along with my cousin and fellow Jersey City resident Mike Parrrilla, we're kicking off season two venting over aggressive neighbors, ‘hood barbershops, midget brawling and burial preferences. Before you answer that next knock at the door from your neighbor, be sure to listen first...you have been warned! IG - Mike Parrilla: @mikeparrillla1

Tempers can often get the best of us. While some use the opportunity to verbally vent frustration, others lean more towards the physical aspect. So wether you're screaming it up or punching it out, we all have a breakingpoint! Joined by two of the biggest muthafuckas I know, the acting bros Ivelaw Peters and Alex Jones stop to discuss me fighting my neighbor, Alex's barroom brawl, playing a slave on film and Ivelaw's deepest sexual desires! Don't miss this one...or I'll have your legs broken! IG - Ivelaw: @ivelaw_peters / Alex: @superdadalex

There's been a lot of interest in outer space recently. A few trips by some billionaires and plans to have commercial launches towards the stratosphere and beyond, earthlings seem eager to conquer the universe; but would everyone be welcome? And if minorities were welcome, would they be on time to make the flight? Who would be first on the flight? This episode I'm joined by my bros Nyoh Tittle and Sam Pemberton where we try to decide who's the most punctual race, should black people trust going to space, Olympic sleeping conditions and representing yourself in court! IG - Nyoh: @nitty197 / Sam: @samjpem

Adrenaline allows us to do things that sometimes amazes ourselves. Being scared, either controlled or spontaneous, can either bring out the best of us...or the worst. Acute stress response, better known as flight-or-fight response, either has you coming or going! This episode I'm cutting it up with my uncle Tony Jirau and my cousin Raul (Putt) Parrilla where we discuss Rat Kings, being punched in the face, doing 360°'s in a car and getting haircuts from women. Listen at your own risk! IG - Tony: @tony__fingers / Raul: @just_putt

While I have never had a real relationship with my father, I've been fortunate enough to have been blessed with an awesome uncle. My dad's youngest brother and one of my first idols, my uncle Tony has taught me everything from using power tools and driving to knowing my Puerto Rican heritage and being streetsmart. We caught up this holiday weekend where we discussed living in Puerto Rico as a teenager, getting arrested in Cuba and being tricked by grandpa. Oye, meng! IG: Tony - @tony__fingers

One of the things me and my boy Sam Pemberton have in common is that we were both born military kids. But while my family left the military life when I was a toddler, Sam lived in Europe for many years...but he's been here long enough to be New York certified! This episode we're going in on the Italian mafia, colored-people time and comparing the military to the police! Be sure to check it out, that's an order, soldier! IG - Sam: @samjpem

Texas is one of the states on my never-to-visit list. I’ve heard more negative things than positive...but that doesn’t stop my friend Hugh Jones. Having spent a few years there, he often goes back to visit. Besides the parents, what’s really going on in Texas? Back from a recent visit, he joins myself and the bro Ivelaw Peters where we discuss Hugh’s Botox injections, growing up in Texas/Mexico, the Deja Vu Theory and Louisiana spaghetti! IG - Ivelaw: ivelaw_peters / Hugh: hughyorkcity

Men have long been fascinated with connecting to the spiritual world. Whether it be structured religion or Wiccan séances, many attempts have been made to connect to some sort of heightened astral realm. Some use a Bible, others use a Ouija board. Joined by the homies Nyoh Tittle and Peter Castro, this episode we’re chopping it up about witchcraft, haunted bikes, religion as an adult and Puerto Rican boogeymen! IG - Nyoh: nitty197 / Peter: petecastro78

I’ve never been big on handshakes. Even before covid, I never really trusted people’s health habits, thus my use of the fist bump. You can never really tell where someone’s hands have been; sometimes a wave is sufficient. Along with my partner-in-crime Nyoh Tittle and Santa Domingo’s own Jeury Remigio, this episode we’re chopping it up about sex robots, dirty houses, Bill Gates dimming the sun and going to the bathroom in public. After that antibacterial soap wash, be sure to press play, you don’t wanna miss this one! IG - Nyoh: nitty197 / Jeury: mister_awes

Our upbringing and parents have a tremendous impact on what we believe in as adults. Some traditions have become laughable, while others have become mainstays. As adults, we actually have the option of choosing; but do we? This episode I’m joined by Brooklyn’s own Nyoh Tittle and Jersey City native and my cousin Raul Parrilla (Putt), where we discuss Caribbean ghost, creepy Joe, neighborhood passes and living forever through artificial intelligence! IG - Nyoh: nitty197 / Raul: just_putt

Some believe that we only use a piece of our brain, leaving the remaining portion dormant; but what if we could change that, whether by misfortune or intention?! Can too much knowledge be a bad thing? Having a few drinks with show regular Ivelaw Peters and all the way from Washington Heights, my Dominican brotha Jeury Remigio, this episode we’re debating who built the pyramids, mind powers, the legitimacy of outer space and if Barack Obama is related to Adolph Hitler! Cheers! IG - Ivelaw: ivelaw_peters / Jeury: mister_awes

We’re in the midst of a pandemic, dealing with a virus we’ve never seen before, taking a new vaccine. What will be the long-term effects, who knows. Add on to the fact that earth is overpopulated and there’s not enough room, eventually we’ll be living on top of one another. The only other place to go is up, literally and figuratively. This episode I’m catching up with my bros Sam Pemberton and Peter Castro where we discuss zombie origins, commercial visits to outer-space and reincarnation. Don’t get left behind! IG - Sam: samjpem/ Peter: petecastro78

Nothing is really as it seems…or at least that’s what my cousin Mike Parrilla thinks. From reptilian politicians to secret society cabals, there is always a bigger picture...even after death!

Not to mention a Baphomet mention! You don’t want to miss this one, your life may depend on it! IG - Mike Parrilla: mikeparrilla1 / Nyoh Tittle: nitty197

In honor of Black History Month, I’ve decided to check in with my boys Ivelaw Peters and Sam Pemberton to discuss the status of black affairs, although most black people would prefer a month closer to the summer. Hoping to warm things up, this episode we’re discussing black Beethoven, what is considered tall and black royalty. There’s also a quiz at the end! You don’t want to miss this episode! IG - Ivelaw: ivelaw_peters / Sam: samjpem

Anytime you have more than two Puerto Ricans in a room, it’s bound to be noisy; throw in some conspiracy theories and you’re asking for trouble!

This episode we’re discussing ghosts, body transplants, clones and what it is to be Puerto Rican! Wepa! IG - Mike: mikeparrilla1 / Chris L: clorenzo0921

New York has changed a lot in recent years but we still remember when things were a little bit spicier; anything really can happen in a New York minute!

IG - Nyoh: nitty197 / Lou: newo707

From government cover-ups to corporate manipulation, my cousin Mike Parrilla is never short on opinions and conspiracy theories.
