In the process, Big Rob attacks the Hip Hop Occupies Movement, the War on Halloween, and talks about his life as a renowned chef. Members Only better get their media team ready to start full spin mode, because this one is a doozie!  

On Episode 18 of PRP, Grendel has grown tired of all the horrible XMAS music out there and has decided to do his own Punk Rock Christmas Episode.
