🎙️ DOME DUMP: Fall — My Second Favorite F-Word
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 karaoke glory. So buckle up, Be Raw Nation — it’s another unfiltered ride through the madness.

Dressing up has roots older than we think, dating back to ancient festivals like Samhain, when people wore masks to protect themselves from wandering spirits. Over time, it evolved into what we know today — a night where identity, imagination, and rebellion all collide. Halloween costumes let us become the version of ourselves we don’t always show. The brave, the twisted, the funny, the free. Whether it’s superheroes, monsters, or some sarcastic middle finger to normal life, what we wear says something about who we are — or who we wish we could be for a night. Behind the makeup and masks, it’s still about connection — laughter, stories, and the reminder that pretending can sometimes reveal the truth.

#197 - That’s the Only One I Got
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 ever. This isn’t polite chuckles or safe-space humor.This is savage. This is earned perspective.This is the Be Raw Podcast. 👉 Full chaos inside. Sponsors:⚡ Live Rishi – https://liverishi.com (code: TABLE50)⚡ High Speed Daddy – https://www.highspeeddaddy.com/?rfsn=7178368.317ce6⚡ Be Raw Nation – https://berawpodcast.com Stand-up comedy has always been about walking into the fire and making people laugh while everything burns. From smoky clubs to big stages, comedians have been society’s sharpest mirror—holding up truth wrapped in timing, punchlines, and a little chaos. The golden eras of Pryor, Carlin, and Murphy weren’t “safe.” They were dangerous. They made people uncomfortable—and that’s exactly why they worked. Comedy at its best doesn’t bow to corporate boardrooms, social media outrage, or the endless hunt for approval. It’s about taking life, flipping it upside down, and reminding people not to take themselves so damn seriously. Now, after years of cancel culture headlines and watered-down jokes, the underground is bubbling again. Crowds are hungry for real stand-up—the kind where you might get roasted in the front row or laugh at something you swore you weren’t supposed to. This episode with Brian taps straight into that pulse. No notes. No mercy. Just raw humor, earned perspective, and the return of stand-up in its purest form. If you’re looking for safe, scroll on. If you’re looking for real comedy—pull up a chair.
