The No Disrespect Podcast

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...

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 m...

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...

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, t...

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, discol...

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...

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, inti...

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, retu...

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, Jer...

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 pregna...

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 wh...

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...

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...

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, thi...

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 Hagga...

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...

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...

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 ve...

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...

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...

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...

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 teen...

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, th...

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, t...

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 Ri...
