Perspective of a Sarcastic Dad

Eight years ago, Alison Gieschen and her husband — a merchant marine — made a deliberate decision most people never will. They planned a ten-year circumnavigation of the world and committed to it. Not on a whim. On purpose. In this episode, Alison joins me from a friend’s boat in Bora Bora — her own Wi-Fi wasn’t cooperating, and instead of forcing it, she chose not to intrude on the show. That alo...

Motivation sounds good. It talks big. It shows up when things are easy. But when it’s time to work late, push through resistance, or handle chaos? Motivation clocks out. In this quick dome dump, I explain why motivation is an unreliable business partner — and why discipline is the one that shows up on weekends, under pressure, and when nobody’s watching. I also break down why you’ll be seeing more...

🎙️ Finding Christmas & Setting the Tone for What’s Next | #201 This isn’t a Christmas episode about trees, presents, or forced cheer. It’s about finding Christmas where it actually lives — in memory, in warmth, in the quiet moments that still hit when the noise shuts off. In this Dome Dump, I talk about: How Christmas changed — and what’s still worth holding onto Why convenience killed some of...

Back in the studio — eggnog poured, mic hot, and zero filters on. Tonight, we’re talking about what it really means to keep showing up — for your family, your work, and yourself. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. No trends. No clickbait. Just real talk about the weight men carry — and the strength it takes to face it head-on. 👉 Watch the live stream on YouTube: https://www.youtube.c...

Caffeine’s flowing, sarcasm’s loaded, and we’re diving headfirst into Fall — my second favorite F-word. Talking Halloween chaos, calling out bathroom bandits at the gym (yeah, that crime scene I saw this morning), and setting the record straight — ladies, you’re not immune. I worked in bars for years... y’all can turn a restroom into a full-blown disaster movie faster than a drunk guy chasing kara...

Jeff Canada doesn’t just play music — he lives it. From long nights in dive bars to the moments that break you and the ones that build you, Jeff’s story is a reminder that real success isn’t handed out — it’s earned. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to stay true to your sound, your people, and yourself when the world keeps moving the goalposts. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s got that he...

Brian—aka “B-Word”—didn’t just show up, he came loaded with the kind of roast that shuts down family reunions: 💀 “Your family tree in a wreath.” From there it was all downhill—in the best way possible. We traded insults, tore into life, and laughed until tears hit the table. More than that, we dug into why stand-up comedy isn’t dead—it’s fighting its way back raw, unfiltered, and funnier than eve...

Andy’s back in the Dome Dump—and you already know that means chaos. From WTF laughs to stories that scar, this one went full Jersey with no apologies. We brought Andy on to tear through the nonsense, light up the real talk, and dive into all the shit that comes with unfiltered conversation. No polish. No filter. Just raw voices, raw stories, and the kind of mess you can’t script. 🎥 Full video + m...

Dan De Filippo didn’t just bring Montauk Dayz—he brought the kind of conversation I built this show for. Conversations that live outside the polished highlight reel. No polish. No script. Just earned perspective. 🏄‍♂️ Hit Dan up here: https://www.instagram.com/montauk_dayz/?hl=en Watch/Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@Berawpodcast 🌐 Be Raw Podcast →  https://berawpodcast.com #BeRawNation #Si...

As we grow up, we change—at least most of us do. Back in the day, Tom and I worked the bar scene together. We had a ton of fun, saw some things, did some things… Now? We’re raising families. Building lives. This episode was a blast—catching up with Tom, talking about what we’re into now, and how we’ve built the lives we have. And here’s the twist—Tom’s chasing gold. That’s right, he’s a gold hunte...

Back in the day, my buddy Larry (no, that’s his real name) and I had this savage little phrase we’d throw out anytime one of us got wrecked—by a girl, a song, a damn good steak—whatever: “…and there I was…” Translation? Hooked. Gone. Screwed in the best kind of way. So in honor of Larry, here it is— …and there I was… falling in love with blogging. Yeah, I said it. Writing. The thing I used to dodg...

Benedict didn’t just show up—he brought the chaos, the truth, and the kind of stories that make you sit up and listen. We’re talking war, grit, and the reality behind All Quiet on the Western Front. This isn’t history class—it’s raw perspective straight from someone who lived and breathed the world behind the film. Unscripted. Unfiltered. No notes. No mercy. 🎥 Full video on YouTube: https://beraw...

What if we lived life in reverse? Start old—cranky, wise, no filter—and end as an orgasm. That’s the trip we’re taking today. This episode dives into the idea of aging backward: letting go of the noise, laughing at the chaos, and flipping the bird to every “should” the world throws at you. It’s part philosophy, part sarcasm, full throttle Be Raw energy. Fueled by caffeine, rocking a shirt with a T...

Everyone’s got stories. But not everyone’s been behind the chair for over 30 years. Jason has. From sweeping the floors in his mom’s salon to styling the biggest names in the game, Jason’s journey is anything but boring. This episode dives deep into the unfiltered chaos of salon life—awkward confessions, wild clients, and wisdom only earned through decades of cutting hair and cutting through bulls...

Old friends. Same small town. Two very different paths—Army for him, blue-collar grind for me. Somehow, we both ended up blessed with badass wives and families that ground us. In this episode, we swap wild stories, talk about the questionable life choices that somehow worked out, and laugh our asses off about where we came from vs. where we are now. Oh—and he casually drops that his family tree tr...

At 4 years old, my son just took his first swing at the mic—and crushed it. No pressure, just presence. This moment reminded me that it’s not about being polished—it’s about being present and real. One mic. One kid. One proud damn dad. ’til next time Be Raw Nation – Keep kickin' ass. — Walt

🎧 EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In Part 2, we go even deeper with Leo—combat medic, warrior, husband, and father.

Now, he's home—but the mission didn’t end. It just changed. We talk about purpose after the battlefiel...

Now he’s leading the charge for his family and pushing out raw, real positivity on social media. In this episode, we talk about pain, purpose, and what it means to still be a warrior when the uniform comes off. This one...
