The Size Up with Robert “Pip” Piparo

Ever hear the term Double Edged Sword? Pip’s guest this week, Tyler Evans @the_Citizens_Fireman has. Pip and Tyler spend a lot of time talking about their marriages. Tyler’s wife works in Emergency Services as well. It’s definitely a double edged sword. They also talk about social media, parenting and of course, the fire service. This episode will have you asking yourself the question, What’s My Size Up?? Because what you do off the job, MATTERS!!!!

Are you consistently consistent?? Episode 43 guest Chris Gilbert tries to live his life by just that motto. A paramedic and fitness coach, Chris dives into his life's passions both on and off the job. Pip and Chris talk about tactical medicine, cold plunging and obstacle course racing. The topic of staying consistent in life keeps coming back up, hence the name of this episode. It will have you asking yourself the question. What’s My Size Up??? Because what you do off the job, matters!!!!

As the old saying goes, Slow and Steady wins the race. Episode 41’s guest, Allison Grubbs describes herself as just that, Slow and Steady. Recently Allison became only the 2nd woman to complete the GoRuck Selection course. Pip and Allison talk about those grueling 48 hours and just how she became a BAMF (Bad A$$ M$ther F$ucker). But not just in GoRuck, in life as well. Allison's story is that of the silent warrior who doesn't want to quit or give up. Pip and Allison talk about her home schooling, adventure racing, inspiration and of course GoRuck. Listening to Allison’s calm descriptions of grueling events will definitely have you asking yourself the question. What’s My Size Up??? Because what you do OFF the Job, MATTERS.

Fight Fire Don’t Die. Seems like a simple enough concept, right? So simple, Jake from @districtfire.co even put it on a shirt. This week Pip sits down with the owner, founder, designer, printer and shipping guy from District Fire Co , Jake. A former Air Force Firefighter and skate punk fan. Jake took up drawing after he separated from the Air Force and was looking for something to occupy his mind. Jake talks about his struggle with separation from the service, PTSD and the poly vagal theory. This episode is a must listen for anyone preparing to retire or separate from service. It will definitely have you asking yourself the question, What’s My Size Up????

Episode 39 features Brett Dugas and his girls. Pip slid into his DM’s after his brother-in-law shared one of Brett’s dog videos on IG. Brett has been putting out videos of his two dogs and occasionally his girlfriend for 2 years now. His success is evident by the number of views, comments and likes each video gets. Pip and Brett talk about social media, the fire service, the dogs and even share a cat story or two. This episode is filled with laughs and lessons about life in general. Some that will even have you asking yourself, What's My Size Up???

Episode 38 is Not a Marriage podcast, even though Pip’s guest is his wife, Tracey Piparo aka Mrs. Pip. Now, that's not to say they don’t talk about marriage, but it’s just not the topic they set out to talk about. It’s hard for two married people to avoid the topic . You can jump back to hear us talk on Episode 8 as well. Today’s main topic is Mrs. Pip’s professional as a palliative care PA. She talks about normalizing death and dying. It’s not exactly a topic most people even know they should learn about. But like she says, we are all going to die, so at least be prepared. She explains the palliative care system and some very simple steps we can all take to be ready. Trust me, this topic makes you ask yourself that question for sure. What’s My Size Up???

For 2 guys from Jersey, we spend a great deal of time chatting it up about Colorado. Episode 37 features Rob Policht from Flow and Vent. Rob and Pip spend a great deal of time talking about growth. Whether it be their own, in the firehouse, as parents and basically people. The share the knowledge they have gained in the fire world and business world. Relating everyday topics to who they are both trying to live their lives. And of course asking each other that question. What’s Your Size Up?????

IG: @beyondthebasicsfiretraining Website: https://www.btbfiretraining.com/ Retiring from anything is a daunting thought. Retiring from an emergency services career is down right petrifying. Today Pip is joined by retired Battalion Chief John Hayowyk. John and Pip chat about a host of topics surrounding his recent retirement, but they all come back to the common theme of Staying Relevant. John has decided to continue his teaching career by traveling the country providing classes at conferences and for specific departments. That’s what works for him, it may not work for you. Who knows, but you need to find that thing. That thing that keeps you going, keeps you relevant and causes you to ask that question. What’s My Size Up????

IG: @ricardoalmeidabjj Website: https://ricardoalmeida.com/ No, we aren’t going to talk about what car you should drive in this episode, sorry car enthusiasts. But yet, what you could be doing in life to make yourself better. This week Pip is joined by Professor Ricardo Almeida, the #minipips former Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor. Ricardo talks about his career as a fighter, his profession as a school owner and about being a father. This conversation’s constant theme is that of balance. Whether it’s winning or losing in life , tapping or being tapped on the mats. Ricardo and Pip both believe we can all use a little of both. We can all be students of life. “The black belt that is the white belt that never quit.” Asking ourselves that question. What’s My Size Up?????

Sweep The Leg is just a classic movie line, from a movie that came out before Episode 34’s guest was even born. But he got it. Tyler Giuliano joins Pip this week for what can only be described as dynamic conversation about everything and anything. A self described “millennial” , Tyler’s passion for life and the job can only be described as contagious. The topics for this episode range from firefighting, Florida, fatherhood, fitness, and BMX (sorry, ran out of F words). Listening to this will have you fired up to start your day for sure and as always ask yourself that question. What’s My Size Up????

TikTok @bluffcitycombatInstagram bluff_city_combat_teamFacebook The Bluff City Combat team Email [email protected] can alway go one extra step in life. This week's guest, Mike Coleman is a true example of that statement. Mike is a firefighter with the Memphis Fire Department and one of the founding members of its Firefighter Challenge Team. Pip and Mike chat about the formation of the team, competing and most importantly training. The overwhelming theme of Mike’s story is constantly progressing in everything you do in life. That attitude alone will have you asking yourself the question. What’s My Size Up???

Are you aggressively passionate in everything you do in life. Ofer Lichtman is . Whether it’s with running his business, TraumaPak or sharing his passion for emergency response. Mentorship, operational medicine, leadership and empowerment are all chatted about this week. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss and will have you asking that question. What’s My Size Up???

For episode 31, Pip welcomes Rick Roman. Rick is a firefighter with the FDNY and founding member of the @fdny_crossfit affiliate. So yes, these 2 do talk about Crossfit and much much more. Rick talks about his education and working in the sports performance industry as well as his time on the Crossfit Med Team. Rick recently competed in the World Police and Fire Games.

@chiefsoller @professional.brotherhoodAre you constantly evolving?? For episode 29 Pip sits down with friend and fellow podcaster Brian Soller (Pip finally pronounces his name right). The two friends talk about their growth as firefighters, and friends. The topics vary, but the conversation overall stays the same.How are you evolving and what are you doing in your life to make yourself better. There’s definitely a part 2 for these two down the line. Listen carefully as these two east coast guys chat quickly, but should still have you asking yourself that question. What’s My Size Up????

This week Pip sits down to talk with his friend Aaron Hinde, Cofounder and President of Life Aid Beverage Company. You would think this podcast focus is business and healthy beverages, and yes there’s some of that.Pip and Aaron talk about a variety of topics centering on living a better life. Not just by what you are eating and drinking, but what you are consuming. Aaron’s take on things over his close to 48 years of learning can benefit everyone.

Whatever your stance on the matter, this episode is for you.Pip is joined by Griff Coiner, founder of Stache Salt, where they are more than just mustache wax.

Episode 23 is sort of a part 2 interview. Pip and Jeremy just finished recording an episode of National Fire Radio with the guys from Vanguard Safety Wear. Then Jeremy and Pip switch seats and jump right into an episode of The Size Up.This group talks about business, friendship, hard work and dedication. Each of them has a different perspective on life, but somehow they are all saying the same thing. Pip also takes a stab at The Size Up 10 with all four of these guys. Some of their answers surprised even him. We didn’t exactly define success in this one, but we definitely gave you some reasons to ask yourself the question. What’s my Size Up????Ryan Pennington @ryanepennington Nick Dinges @dingesfirecompanyAndy Shapiro @vanguardsafetywear

This week’s episode is sponsored by Motis Fire Rescue. Pip met the guys from Motis out at FDIC, however he has been carrying their SNAGGER TOOL for a few years. In another addition to the way the world works, Motis did a youtube video highlighting Pip’s guest this week Omar. An Icelandic firefighter whose passion for life and becoming better is unmatched. Why is this all strange??? Because the week before this all happened, Pip and his family booked a vacation to Iceland. Pip and Omar chat about all things Iceland, from its landscape to its people. Omar explains how firefighting may be different in his country, there are many similarities. Topics like fitness, mental preparation and crossfit are sprinkled into this episode. As well as Omar's vast knowledge of some amazing books. Pip and Omar chat about balance in life, and Omar describes that balance as basically Chaos. Chaos between the borders of chaos and order. Yet again asking that question. What’s your Size Up???

Dallas Cooper @thedallascooper Keri Lawson @kerrij23 Rob Ridley @fairview39 Let’s work together to create a “Survivable Space” within the fire service. We all talk about creating a survivable space for victims in burning buildings, but this is The Size Up, so the Survivable Space here is not what you may think. June is Pride month and we brought back two past guests Dallas and Keri to talk about their experience within the fire service. Rob Ridley from National Fire Radio joins Pip this week as a co host. Last year for Pride month Rob and Pip spoke with Dallas about his experience as a firefighter for the City of Houston. Keri joins the crew from South Carolina this year to continue that discussion with Dallas. Throughout the episode Keri and Dallas offer up a “toolbox” of advice that everyone can pull information from to understand and implement an inclusive environment within their crew and station. Rob was able to apply a very common fire service term, creating a survivable space into something we all need to do better. Especially when it comes to our interactions with each other and asking ourselves the question. What’s My Size Up?

Their positivity is infectious. Kyla and Ty from @we_are_superfit are an unstoppable mother-son team out to prove that the words “can’t do” just don’t exist.  Tyson was born with down syndrome, but he hasn’t let his disability keep him from leading a healthy lifestyle. Kyla talks about the different challenges of being a special needs parent, but spends more time talking about the rewards of being a special needs parent.  Her passion for health and wellness plus Ty’s can-do attitude lead them to start We Are Superfit.  Their group tailors workouts to each participant's needs, allowing them to participate and accomplish goals they once thought impossible. @_kyla_ford@we_are_superfit

YOLO, You Only Live Once is the motto of this week's guest. Firefighter/EMT, model, Calendar Stud, Game Show Star and good friend Levi Sandoval.Levi and Pip chat about fitness, fame and how hard work and his YOLO attitude landed him a major modeling deal with the Indian Motorcycle company. Levi has also been featured in and on the cover of the Colorado Firefighter calendar. He explains how working with that organization allowed him to give back and realize that he might be able to chase a dream he didn’t know he really had. Levi’s story is far from over.  He continues to use the same mentality that started his career as a firefighter to create more opportunities outside of the job. Constantly asking himself that one big question: What’s My Size Up???https://cofirefightercalendar.org/

@foodonthestovedcSecond generation Washington DC  firefighter Jonathan Tate wanted to give back to the fire service. As a child he saw the impact his father was able to make not only on the job, but on the community he grew up in.  Food is a cultural staple within the fire service. Jonathan saw a need to educate firefighters on the importance of healthy eating. Starting the not for profit  Food on the Stove as a passion project within his department.Pip and Jonathan talk about his life, healthy eating, pensions , and his upcoming conference International Firefighters Weekend in DC.

Pip and Sarah talk about her weight loss journey, which began  when she put being a volunteer firefighter on a temporary hold. Sarah talks about how consistently being consistent with her healthy habits keeps her on track and moving forward. What started as an online journal of her journey for herself has grown into something much much more. Sarah’s IG and Tick Toc page has become a source of inspiration for many, of course she has picked up some haters along the way but as she said. If one post helps one person, that’s all that matters. We talk about her bariatric surgery, her job as a dispatcher, running lots of miles and inspiring strangers. Sarah never set out to inspire folks, but she has and plans to continue to do so. This episode will definitely inspire you and make you ask yourself the question, What’s my Size Up???IG:Shrinking_savage_TikTok: sarahray90
