  • S3 Episode 5: Scrump or Dump: Valentine's Day
    Feb 12 2026

    What's up Rock Stars! On today's episode of Rocco on the Rocks, I am talking all things Valentine's Day.

    I give my opinion on some Valentine's Day traditions that I think are either a Scrump or a Dump.

    I’ve even included a few date ideas for all the last-minute planners out there. (P.S. Valentine's Day is Saturday! I really hoped everyone booked their dinner reservations!).

    I’m also sharing some of my favorite early 2000s romantic comedy movies that I think make this day even better.

    If your plan is to sit down, relax, and watch a movie on Saturday with your loved one or even just by yourself, these are perfect picks!

    Let’s not forget that this is simply a Hallmark holiday, just another day on the calendar. Do whatever feels right for you and make it rock.

    On our Scrump or Dump menu, I am making a "Lover's 75"! Tune in to find out if I think it is a Scrump or Dump!
