Villain, Cincinnati, OH. studios
A midday plunge
into delirium.
Every Friday at noon Eastern, we carefully tiptoe along the crumbling edge of the weekend with Pranzo con Rocco. It's not merely an hour stuffed with prime cuts of classic rock; it's a midday plunge into delirium—a funhouse-mirror warping of whatever "truth" the internet once held.
By the time Rocco's show sputters to a close, listeners will have experienced one or more troubling conditions: dysentery, a suspicious chin growth, low-grade sepsis, and a wicked case of the mange.
Around here, it's become ritual—a dark little omen that the weekend's grimy underbelly is beginning to stir right beneath our feet.
House Rituals
Three hard-and-fast rules of the Pranzo con Rocco dining room. Learn them before you sit down.
Three rituals
before the first riff.
The Arrival
Tune in by 11:58 AM Eastern. No exceptions. The doors close at noon Eastern sharp and the room goes dim. Anyone who wanders in late can expect to be publicly humiliated by Dolly, the resident scourge. No appeals. No mercy. We are not joking.
The Sandwich Rule
You may eat. You may drink. You may heckle. But the meal must be handheld. Two hands, one sandwich. Soup is a perma-ban. Napkins are for the weak.
Cucina Guidelines
The kitchen is closed and the lounge is open. No cooking live, no recipe segments, no plated demos. The only thing being served is tasty tunage, attitude, and whatever expired condiments Rocco is hoarding in the back office. Do not sniff. Do not lick. Do not ingest.
Troubling conditions
you may experience.
Dysentery
Debilitating. Often explosive. Break wind with caution.
Suspicious Mole
Appears without warning. May be sentient.
Low-Grade Sepsis
Sets in by the second deep cut. Bring fluids.
The Mange
Wicked. Persistent. A rite of passage.
Tune in. Bring fluids.
Don't make plans after.
