Pervert Popes, And Is AI An Advance In Technology Or A Tool Of Satan? So before this episode was recorded, Gerardo and Giuseppe discussed the topics. Giuseppe wanted to discuss the current Pope, Leo, but Gerardo didn't find it to be particularly riveting, as far as subjects go, so he thought it would be worthwhile to discuss the orgiastic shenanigans of the pontiffs of antiquity. As the discussion got underway, Giuseppe drops the bombshell of unprecedented implications, namely the cessation of using his bodily temple for unsavory forms of self-gratification. Why?? What ensues is not only an in-depth discussion of what made him take such drastic measures, but the spiritual and theological implications thereof. We also get in to the rapidly expanding influence of AI; is it the pinnacle of human progress, or the vehicle of our ultimate spiritual demise? Join us as we get into it...

Neely had been threatening passengers, and had a past record of unprovoked violent assaults. The case is yet another example of this country's political polarization, with one side claiming this was a cold blooded lynching of a man who was down on his luck, while the other sees the ex-marine as a good samaritan who was willing to do his part to combat the escalating incidents of violence against the citizens of the city. Should Penny be charged in the death? Was he within his rights to get physically involved? Did he use excessive force. Was Neely a legitimate threat? Two seasoned New Yorkers, who are no strangers to the street, weigh in.  Gerardo, a self-defense expert, gives his perspective on whether the chokehold was properly applied and appropriate to the situation from both a legal and tactical standpoint, while Giuseppe does the same through the context of his past military experience. Both recount their own brushes with the shady characters of the NYC underground. Given the emotionally charged nature of the case, here at Naked Subjects we are fully confident that you will be hard pressed to find a more balanced, well-informed assessment of the incident from a variety of viewpoints.

Gerardo was born in Queens with Colombian parents. Growing up in the streets of Jackson Heights, he did 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 staying in shape 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 gentrifying  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, taking modern pharmaceuticals to stay in prime condition, 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...
