Roz & Mocha

The boys of summer are back! On this episode of the Roz and Mocha Retro Show, we’re celebrating your Toronto Blue Jays with some classic throwback moments — and a few familiar voices you probably miss. We rewind to 2014 when we hung out with Brett Lawrie, José Bautista and manager John Gibbons talking Father’s Day, hit 2013 as Roz reminisces about the Jays back in the day, and jump to 2015 with Mocha sharing stories from his NYC trip to see the Jays live. A must-listen for Jays fans who love a little nostalgia with their baseball. ⚾️💙

A powerful week of FMLs as listeners open up about some of their toughest real-life situations — from rebuilding a strained relationship with a father after years of addiction and absence, to deciding whether it’s safer to stay quiet or speak up after decades of workplace microaggressions, to struggling with guilt and exhaustion while parenting a child with trauma alongside a toddler, and navigating how to help a teenage son take hygiene seriously during puberty. Honest letters, complicated emotions, and real advice from Roz and Mocha.

Canada has been making headlines after Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, where he addressed Donald Trump’s “51st state” comments, around the same time a new global report dropped Canada to 25th in the World Happiness Rankings, citing heavy social media use and declining well‑being among young people. There has also been disturbing fallout from New York’s LaGuardia Airport, with passengers and air traffic control audio emerging after an Air Canada plane collided with a vehicle on the runway. In entertainment news, Chuck Norris has died at 86, Jelly Roll shared an emotional mental and p...

Wild DMs spark everything from debates about who can hold “It’s Friday” the longest, to where you’d hide $10 million in your house, to how long you’d survive without the internet for cash. Things spiral into confessions pulled straight from search histories, opinions on the worst possible celebrity roommates, ranking the best forms of potato, embarrassing adult skills people still don’t have, unhinged wedding stories, and the very questionable collections some people keep at home.

What’s one word that instantly pisses you off? Which health supplement do you actually swear by? What do you want to be remembered for, and if you could only eat one meat or protein forever, what are you choosing? Shem breaks down his favourite cruise ship, cruise line, and destination after sailing them all — plus which ship he thinks is the best fit for the rest of the team and their partners or families. The crew also reveals which artist they’d most want to do a duet with, whether they clicked instantly when they first started working togeth...

Roz and Mocha get into Gen Z’s latest trend, “raw‑dogging boredom,” after debating whether intentionally doing absolutely nothing is the new meditation. The show also spirals into food chaos with steak‑and‑eggs dinner envy, an emotional rant over Swiss Chalet discontinuing its chicken marinade, and a heated argument over whether macaroni salad actually counts as a salad. Plus, embarrassing listener confessions, an unbelievable Hot Wheels collecting story, an interview with Patrick J. Adams about his new series The Madison, and the mystery of what really happens to the Oscars red carpet once the show is over.

It’s an all‑naked theme on the Roz and Mocha Retro Show as the guys rewind to some unforgettable moments from the vault. First up, a 2014 conversation about the rise of naked yoga, followed by another stop that same year when a very specific cash offer was made to encourage full nudity. Then we jump ahead to 2016 and revisit the debate around Going to Work Naked Day, proving once again that this show has never been afraid to strip things down—sometimes literally.

A series of real‑life dilemmas spark honest conversation and heartfelt advice, from navigating identity and belonging in a mixed‑heritage family, to coping with the emotional shift that comes with becoming a new parent. There’s also concern over suspected emotional boundaries crossing at work, frustration with unsafe and unresponsive rental living conditions, and the challenge of holding space for love and security while the world’s opinions creep in.

Roz and Mocha recap their whirlwind 24‑hour trip to NYC and what it was like seeing the podcast featured on a massive digital billboard in Times Square. The show also leans into St. Patrick’s Day chaos with drunk clips, shamrock‑fueled streeters, and questionable Irish drink choices, before settling debates on big spoon vs little spoon, gross hotel bed discoveries, and a restaurant robot that glitches out and starts smashing dishes. Plus, a historic winter storm up north, Gen‑Z slang explained through fine art, and the crew bravely taste‑tests one of the worst snack combinations imaginable.

Big questions and petty debates collide as the crew tackles everything from whether a “good guy” in a movie might actually be the villain, to who could be replaced by AI without anyone noticing. They vent about spatial awareness on transit, debate past fights, imagine parenting their teenage selves, and get oddly specific about furniture comparisons, awkward throwback moments, and treat‑yourself day fantasies. It’s a mix of serious reflection, nostalgia, and nonsense that spirals exactly the way it always does.

Has Chloe seen sunshine boy Mocha’s pic? Has Roz secretly become calmer, nicer… and dare we say more empathetic? The crew debates their least‑favourite household chore, whether you take a guaranteed $500K or risk it all for $5M, and if sharing food with your partner is sweet or straight‑up unhinged. Plus — trampoline parks (who’s thriving, who’s tearing an ACL), the impossible choice between eyelashes for eyebrows or eyebrows for eyelashes, and the things you’re way too old to still love… but will never give up.

Roz deals with aching elbows, itchy ears, and the awkward realities of aging, from sauna etiquette to the strange ways everyone gets in and out of cars.

Today on the Roz & Mocha Retro Show, we’re reliving some of the most ridiculous challenges we’ve taken on over the years. First up, from 2015, The Coke Boob Challenge — it sounds easy, but is it really possible to hold a can of Coke using only your man boobs? Then from 2017, we attempt the viral Invisible Box Challenge, trying to step over a box that isn’t actually there and make it look believable. And finally, back to 2015 for the Belly Button Challenge — can you reach around your back and touch your belly button? Spoiler: it’s harder than it sounds.

Moving into a new home during an already difficult time has raised complicated questions about boundaries and responsibility. Struggling to balance grief, health issues, and blending families, someone is unsure how much to step in when it comes to parenting a partner’s adult and teenage kids. The challenge is figuring out how to be supportive and involved without overstepping or causing tension in an already fragile situation.

Maurie chats with the owner of a Florida coffee shop who says Canadians “don’t deserve” his coffee and refuses to serve them, doubling down on the bizarre stance.

Breaking down who would survive a massive maze, the crew argues over lavender fields, corn mazes, and who’d be hungover at the exit. TV obsessions resurface with debates about Tell Me Lies, and everyone reveals how many phone numbers they still know by heart. Things get even more unhinged with stories of ridiculous partner arguments, guesses at each other’s “spirit ages,” and a full breakdown of what gets dried first after a shower. Add in questions about dog‑breed personalities, surprise missing movie credits, and the eternal struggle of cleaning up after shaving, and this Deep Dive goes from...

On this episode of Ask Roz & Mocha, we’re diving into everything from childhood nostalgia to Bollywood classics.

We’re talking chocolate and candy in this retro podcast! First, we head back to 2016 for one of Maurie’s legendary funnel moments—this time involving chocolate milk.

A look back at 2014 during the Roz & Mocha Retro Podcast brings a collection of unforgettable moments — from the debut of a ridiculous fart soundboard that had listeners calling in with gratitude, to a caller reviving the bizarre headline claiming you could get head lice from taking selfies, and the time someone phoned to remind us that a certain tattoo once ended up featured in an actual art gallery.
