Why was rocco pendola fired

Celtic Rangers. Toggle navigation Subscribe. By Saad Yousuf Oct 17, Right at noon, the conversation started… about the movie Joker. Sturm had taken his son to see it, and part of the discussion centered around the appropriate age range of its viewing audience, while some of it had to do with the movie itself. So it went for half an hour. Finally, on the other side of the p. Welcome to the genius of Bob and Dan.

Don't you want to gig your pal Miller over that, Mayor? OK, so this was a bit of cheap troublemaking on Buzz's part. It pays the rent. The Mayor wouldn't bite. That gig may be coming a little too early. Since we started the Dallas Observer , it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way.

I was in studio that day Lopez the Janitor , it was some of the most uncomfortable moments I ever experienced during my time doing stuff on The Ticket. Man, I never listened when Rocco was on The Ticket, but boy was he a sensitive little bitch!

Dude needs some therapy. And looking back on it, I really do feel for Rocco. A lot of what he said truly was the case.

Not many people are ever that frank about how they feel. However, it is interesting to hear how self-unaware Rocco is. Same with his convenient memory lapses when things pertain to his own words and actions. What the hell did Rocco expect when he said such monumentally stupid things on the air? He was abrasive to the point of being unlistenable; like Corby without any of the goofiness.

I heard Gordon mention a wife, that he told his wife he really wanted to talk to Rocco. When was he married and is he still? I remember reading in Full Disclosure that he was pretty guarded with his personal life. His on air personality is about being this sort of drifter single guy, and the show works that way with his co-hosts having wives and children.
