  <description><![CDATA[What do a Colombian self-defense expert/wannabe street philosopher, an Italian accountant with anger management issues and a celibate Puerto Rican musician, all from the mean streets of NYC, have in common? Not much, and more than you might think. Tune in as we discuss hot button issues, history, politics and anything else that pops into our not-always-stable minds, along with occasional advice on fitness, finance and self protection...]]></description>

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...</p>]]></description>

    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this episode, we take a dive into theological controversy, by way of a comment made by Pope Francis while addressing a group of Muslim children. What, pray tell, could he have said that created such tumult?? The answer to that question is that he dared imply that all religious traditions are a path to God. This kicked off quite the firestorm, and upset many traditionalists, Giuseppe included. Gerardo begs to differ. This is the result. What do you think? ]]></itunes:summary>

Enter Jesse Owens, who threw a definitive wrench into that narrative. But in the process, he developed an unlikely and beautiful bond with the very athlete who was to represent the Führer’s hopes and aspirations. We also get into some little-known anecdotes about those games, including a pretty funny one involving a storm of pigeon poop. Also, Giuseppe the history buff gets humbled, as the fact that he is unaware of one of the darkest periods in the history of the Dominican Republic. The discussion turns to the unifying power of music, and the awkwardness continues as Giuseppe’s dancing skills come under more scrutiny than he would like. Finally, we rejoice, as the once-celibate Platano has been located. Listen in and stay tuned!</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On May 1st, 2023, Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was once a presence in the New York subways as an entertainer known for his Michael Jackson impersonations, was strangled to death by former marine Daniel Penny. Neely had been threatening passengers, and had a past record of unprovoked violent assaults. The case is yet another example of this country&apos;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. Enjoy...</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>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. 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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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...<br/><br/></p>]]></description>
