Rocco is back from three weeks in Italy and has stories.
From Milan to Venice, Florence, Pisa, Napoli, Calabria and Rome, Rocco breaks down the family trip, the food, the hotels, traveling through Italy with kids, surviving the summer heat, and everything that went right, wrong and somewhere in between.
He also talks about why Milan will always have a special connection to his father, why Italian food really does taste different, his...
Italy lose to Bosnia on penalties and miss their THIRD straight World Cup. This turns into a full vent session breaking down the game, key moments, and everything wrong with the Italian Federation right now. From tactics to mentality, nothing is off limits. If you’re an Azzurri fan, you feel this.
Rocco goes deep into nostalgia, growing up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and the simple routines that meant everything. From daily trips to the corner store with Nonna to the legendary “Big Juicy” drink he still can’t find, this episode is all about chasing the feeling of childhood. He dives into iconic food memories like Gino’s rice balls, Mike’s pizzeria, and how food, family, and love were all tied toge...
Rocco dives into the controversy around Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic and the ongoing debate about what it really means to be “Italian.” From growing up in a fully Italian household in America to being teased for loving soccer, he explains why he never rooted for Team USA and how those experiences shaped his perspective.
He breaks down the identity crisis in American soccer, from MLS branding choices to the la...
Being Italian online is confusing.
If I say I love being Italian, Italians tell me I’m not really Italian.
If I say I’m Italian American, Americans tell me I’m just American.
If I say gabagool, someone writes a dissertation.
This episode is about the culture police, the food police, the accent police, and the 24 hour Pasta FBI.
We talk about breaking spaghetti, eating pizza with a fork in Italy, why everyone th...
"Everyone says traditions are dying, but they didn’t die—life just got too loud for them."
In this episode of the BOH Podcast, Rocco the Comic gets real about the "social media version" of Italian-American life versus the reality. From growing up in a rented apartment in Bensonhurst without a "museum kitchen" to the realization that the unannounced "visite" is officially dead, Rocco explores why we romanticize a past tha...
This episode is a little different.
My kids were home, I couldn’t record a normal episode, so instead of talking about my family, I sat down and talked to them.
We talk about what they think being Italian actually means, what kind of dad they think I am, what it’s like having a comedian for a father, video games, soccer, Italy, the World Cup, and why trying to have a normal conversation with kids is basically impossible.
I...
In this episode of the BOH Podcast, I talk honestly about something I struggle with every single day as a content creator and comedian, knowing exactly what works online, and choosing not to do it.
Rage bait works. Exaggeration works. Anger works. I know that if I leaned harder into stereotypes, caricatures, or divisive content, my views and growth would skyrocket. But that’s not who I am, and I pay the price for that choice.
I...
Growing up Italian, everyone knew your business, your mail was already opened, and the idea of “setting boundaries” simply did not exist.
In this episode of the BOH Podcast, I talk about being in therapy, hearing therapists tell you to set boundaries, and realizing that advice makes absolutely no sense if you were raised in an Italian household. No privacy, no secrets, no knocking, and definitely no telling your parents ...
Growing up Italian, our parents said things that sounded threatening, confusing, and completely unhinged, and nobody ever questioned it.
In this episode of the BOH Podcast, I break down some of the phrases I grew up hearing that made absolutely no sense once I stopped and thought about them.
From “I brought you into this world and I can take you out,” to counting hits with “esu uno,” to telling people to &ldqu...
In this episode of BOH, I talk about things I genuinely thought were normal growing up, until I got older and realized… they weren’t.
From thinking all grandparents didn’t speak English, to dressing up as saints for church, to believing cash was the only acceptable wedding gift, this episode is just stories, memories, and realizing how different everyone’s version of “normal” really is.
In the first episode of BOH, Rocco talks about growing up in a house where calm meant something bad was coming. He reflects on being raised by a paranoid mother and a deeply pessimistic father, how that environment shapes the way you see the world, and why humor became a way to survive it.
This episode is about anxiety, family, expectations, and realizing as an adult that nobody really knew what they were doing, they just sounded co...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
