Whether as a musician, actor, writer, or all-around extremist, Rocco has seemingly lived several lifetimes worth of stories. Consequently, he makes for not only a great friend, but an endless supply of fresh material! The question we always ask of our guests: "Is anything off limits?" truly applies in more ways than one on this roller coaster episode of Talk'n Pop. In getting to know Rocco, you'll be acquainted with such topics as:
-Alternate personalities (for dramatic effect)-Painful Urination-"Jesus, the Total Douchebag" and other inspiring pictures-Humping a wet magazine-Broken ankles
-Why you never go to a second location-Cocaine math-Law enforcement at its finest-What's the deal with New Jersey?-Globules
 
Suffice to say, this one goes places, so take that as a content warning.
 
Rocco performs lead vocals for the horror-influenced death metal band CHAINED TO THE DEAD, who may be playing a venue near you soon in the Northeast!
