Roz & Mocha

The Roz & Mocha Retro Show! Special guest this week.. Mocha!

A listener worries a running joke about looking like his partner’s sibling may be killing intimacy, while another faces the unbearable reality of a parent who may never regain consciousness after cardiac arrest. There’s also a parent discovering skipped classes, secret vaping, and hidden phones, and a workplace situation where a coworker’s relationship with a married executive feels inappropriate and uncomfortable. Tough, emotional situations spark honest conversations about boundaries, grief, parenting, and knowing when something just isn’t right.

Mocha celebrates his birthday with surprise calls from Denis and Melina, street shout‑outs from fans, and Shem singing a very customized version of Happy Birthday. The crew reacts to Rory McIlroy winning his second straight Masters — with instant reactions from an Irish pub — debates whose farts smell worse between men and women, and breaks down Chloe’s dance competition turning into a full‑on party. Plus, Roz pulls part of an earbud out of his own ear, Shem explains why it was finally time to ditch his Kia, a six‑year‑old hockey player goes viral with an on‑ice interview, Jen calls in ahead of turning 40, and Mocha gets hyped for the newly revealed animated Spider‑Man movie.

Diddy’s lawyers argue his alleged sex crimes were actually constitutionally‑protected amateur pornography, while GB News faces backlash after a guest falsely claimed Drake’s lyrics reference violence against women. Olivia Rodrigo teases a new single as Lady Gaga and Doechii surprise‑drop a track from The Devil Wears Prada 2, the Raptors clinch an automatic playoff spot, Ottawa is rattled by a 3.9‑magnitude earthquake, and Instagram finally allows users to edit comments within 15 minutes. Plus, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reflects on being honoured by the Canadian Film Centre and jokes that if he were mayor, the city would celebrate Taco Tuesday.

Chloe does quite possibly the worst Shaggy impression, ghost stories clash with denial, haunted hotels get recordings, and a floating jar of Nutella sparks debates about what’s real and what’s A.I. Childhood TV commercials, first wrestling memories, public toilet habits, and the unspoken rules of remotes turn into unexpectedly heated arguments. There’s also talk of truth serum, impossible questions about monogamy, liquids shooting from fingers, WiFi names, beard straighteners, and which TV show would be the worst—or best—to be trapped in forever. Low-stakes questions spiral into big opinions, old stories, and chaos where nothing stays simple for long.

If you could instantly download any skill into your brain Matrix-style, what would it be? Roz and Mocha tackle that, the worst part of summer, and what the ultimate Roz & Mocha Show getaway would actually look like. Things get personal with green flags in dating, lifelong hobbies and investments outside of work, and the exact moment you realize you’re officially getting older (including a very honest breakdown of Roz’s dramatically deeper voice). Plus: menu items inspired by each member of the show and which everyday sound deserves to disappear forever.

Mocha gets roasted after sending Jenna on a Costco lotion run, while Roz Weston Lane officially becomes a destination complete with potholes, missing car logos, and firsthand listener reports. Mocha shocks everyone by admitting he went to bed at 6:30 p.m., Pina absolutely nails the national anthem at a Marlies game, and Shem’s reputation somehow still follows him into a LUSH store. Maurie sits down with Jack Innanen and Taylor Ortega to talk about their new Netflix series Big Mistakes, and also checks in with fans during a rough Blue Jays loss that turned into a full family roast at the ballpark.

It’s a full‑on potpourri of ridiculousness on the Roz & Mocha Retro Show today. We rewind to 2014 for Butt Kick Day, asking the age‑old question: how many times can you kick your own butt? Then it’s 2015, when Roz famously used Maurie’s belly as a drum, followed by another 2014 classic where Maurie demonstrates the exact way he tickles his own arm… by tickling Mocha’s. Pure chaos. Pure nostalgia.

Recovery from knee surgery goes sideways when a trusted friend secretly brings a new kitten into a home with medically fragile cats, triggering panic, confrontation, and an awkward rush to fix the damage. Another letter dives into a family crisis involving an ongoing celebrity scam where logic, proof, and loved ones can’t break through denial. There’s also a brutal financial nightmare after a bank account is hacked, leaving someone locked out of their own money and stuck paying for a crime they didn’t commit. Boundaries, trust, control, and hard decisions collide in brutal, messy situations where there are no easy fixes—just fallout.

Roz loses his mind over a simple trip to Canadian Tire, Mocha spirals after finding out “Topanga” knows Nirvanna: The Band, The Show, The Movie, and a night‑shift hospital security guard explains why full moons are never good news. Maurie sits down with Devon Hansen, the son of astronaut Jeremy Hansen, for a conversation about watching his dad fly around the moon, floating Nutella, and the scariest parts of the mission, and also chats with the cast of The Testaments about continuing the world of The Handmaid’s Tale. Plus, Roz vents about the Yellowstone spinoffs, a jaw‑dropping car‑damage confession, a baby nearly born on the phone with the show, and Josh Brolin almost fighting Denzel Washington.

Blue Jays fans are already frustrated after being swept by the White Sox, then getting smoked 14‑2 by the Dodgers as the struggles continue at home. Lady Gaga has cancelled her Montreal show, while a mysterious new “artist” with 11 songs in the iTunes Top 100 turns out to not even be real. Kanye West has been barred from entering the U.K., killing the Wireless Music Festival and pushing major sponsors to walk, and an 80‑year‑old Dodgers fan is going viral after being locked out by digital‑only tickets. Plus, Artemis II astronauts make history around the moon, Lotto Max ticket prices are going up, Spaceballs is officially getting a sequel, and CNN accidentally posted a premature death story for Michael J. Fox.

Radio bucket lists get questioned, flopped TV shows are mourned, and a first real back injury sparks talk about aging and pain. Things spiral into wasted money confessions, brutal job rankings, screenshot vs. screen grab debates, unwanted nicknames, celebrity look‑alike claims, replacing hands with ridiculous objects, whether to delete photos of exes, reviving the head‑cam, and building the ultimate sandwich.

Five fingers, five mystery liquids — what are you dispensing at a moment’s notice? Plus, relationship hypotheticals get spicy as the crew debates the idea of “hall passes” (yes, even the people who insist they’re above it), how strategic you are about the perfect last bite of a meal, and the awkward reality of pretending to love a dish that keeps getting served again and again. Also on the table: silence vs. nonstop chatter on car rides with your partner, what truly represents you and the show in a time capsule cracked open 25 years from now, an eye irritation vs. an un-scratchable itch nightmare scenario, and the very divisive question — do you rinse after brushing or spit and trust the paste?

Roz takes issue with Earth Hour, emotional moments follow as a longtime listener remembers his late mother, and the crew plays Shrinkage. Maurie heads to Blue Jays batting practice, gets reaction from fans after Cardi B’s Toronto show, and checks in with devastated Italian soccer fans. We also hear from James Marsden about his new movie Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, Drew Scott on Property Brothers: Under Pressure, Jay Armstrong Johnson on Heated Rivalry: The Musical, and chat with Jon Hamm, Olivia Munn, and James Marsden for season two of Your Friends & Neighbours.

Roz and Mocha Retro Show throws it back to 2014 with three classic Roz rants. From the harsh realities of living with a kid, to an unexpected meltdown over ear wax, to his hot take on why music doesn’t have any ugly people anymore—these vintage Roz moments are peak unfiltered hilarity.

A full‑time walking accident at 37 is looking for advice after a lifetime of tripping over nothing, constant minor injuries, and accidentally breaking things—including two dishes in one week. Even when trying to slow down, the clumsiness never seems to stop, and having ADHD only adds to the chaos. The big question: is there a way to be less of a hazard to themselves and everything around them, or is it time to accept this reality and start padding life accordingly?

Dentist confessions, vented moments chaos, Swiss Chalet marinade drama, and questionable public phone behaviour all make the cut, plus Roz’s hatred of March and Maurie’s new smile get examined. We hear from HGTV Canada’s Sarah Keenleyside, Ben Johnson and Shamier Anderson talk about their new series, and Maurie shares highlights from the Junos, including chats with Sarah McLachlan, The Beaches, and Shawn Desman.

Netflix raises prices again, Vancouver Canucks season ticket holders push back against another increase, and Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus make award‑show headlines. There’s fallout from a Donald Trump interview, growing pressure on Air Canada’s CEO in Quebec, major moments from the Junos, celebrity lawsuits, bizarre crime stories, and multiple sports shakeups. Plus, we revisit Maurie’s chat with Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen and hear from devastated Italian fans after Italy misses the World Cup again.

Debates and questions pulled straight from listener DMs, including who the best and worst drivers on the show actually are, whether “Rub It On My Face” should return, how often towels get reused, what everyone wants their legacy to be, proof (or lack thereof) that Frank and Carl exist, challenges getting into broadcasting, Shem’s favourite nickname, Disney character comparisons, what one task a personal robot should handle, reading habits, how names were chosen for kids and pets, almost saying “that’s what she said” at the worst possible time, charging‑phone fails, and the crew’s worst vacation horror stories.

From puberty horror stories (BO, growth spurts, body hair and voice cracks) to who gets asked for a three‑way the most, things get very personal on this episode of Ask Roz & Mocha. Roz calls out what he finds soft about everyone on the team, Shem and Mocha face off in a hypothetical archery showdown, and the crew debates studio upgrades, ultimate nacho toppings, and who would last the longest if dropped into the wilderness with no phones. Plus: would you erase one memory from your brain if you could — and which one would it be?
