Co-Host Appreciation Day
This episode, is all about Jurassic Jen(JenDurst.com)! Rocco interviews his Co-Host, as if she is the Special Guest on the show. Enjoy a Highlight Reel of Jen's youth as well as her life now, as a Jurassic Park Junkie, and also one of the franchises favorite "Jurassic Influencers". We talk about Jen's childhood in Brooklyn. She admits that she is 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Jewish, and grew up Catholic, in a Spanish neighborhood! Figure that one out! Jen is a Foodie, due to growing up on the only Italian block in her neighborhood, surrounded by Spanish, Puerto Rican, and Jewish immigrants. This introduced her to a variety of ethnic food. We also get a glimpse into the life of Jen's Dad, who after his passing when she was a little girl, is still her biggest source of inspiration today. Jen's Jurassic Dad, was a lovable prankster at heart, and was always supportive of Jen's theatrical side. He took her to see the original Jurassic Park, over 9 times, and also encouraged her to get involved in community theatre at a young age! No wonder she's hooked on everything Jurassic. It's a little absurd sometimes, if you ask Rocco, but he has agreed to do a Jurassic sketch with her, so stay tuned! As you know, both Jen and Rocco geek-out on watching TV and movies. Jen is obviously obsessed with Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and dinosaurs in general. And then there's Rocco. He's hooked like crack on game shows, where he's made a living over the years as Casting Producer for game shows and competition shows! Jurassic Jen, and our Producer/Fact Machine Sue, play a round of "Rocco's Random Game Show", where Rocco celebrates the iconic game show, "Press Your Luck", which is slated to hit the airwaves this spring on ABC. Have fun and join the cast for fun!! See you there!!
