Roz & Mocha

Would you rather add an extra zero to your lifespan or your salary? Who do you really think wins more arguments in your relationship, and how different would your life look if your spouse didn’t exist? Roz and Mocha tackle big “what if” questions, awkward truths, and ridiculous debates—from being dropped into a country with no English or technology, to cringing at the terrible ideas they wanted as teenagers, to the surprisingly heated discussion of whether you reuse the same drinking glass all day

Eric Braeden sounds off after a casting director wastes his time, plus the guys relive the moment he absolutely unloaded on them for being late to an interview. A classic front-seat etiquette debate sparks strong opinions, Billie Eilish opens up about living with Tourette syndrome, and a Costco food-sample rant hits a little too close to home. There’s also an engagement call that gets surprisingly emotional, a Mother’s Day confessional involving fake alarms and secret “other kids,” Nick Cannon’s parenting double standard, and an incredible story about how one guy managed to sneak into The Devil Wears Prad

Today’s Roz & Mocha Retro Show is all about one undeniable truth: Roz has always been old. We rewind to 2014 when we asked Roz how old he felt — and that was 13 years ago, so do the math and try not to hurt yourself. Then in 2015, we broke down exactly who Roz is older than, which somehow caused more damage than comfort. And to really seal the legacy, we revisit the moment Twitter officially crowned him a full‑blown dinosaur. It’s classic Retro Roz… just with more back pain.

A guy feels uneasy because his girlfriend won’t let him post her—or post him—on social media, and he’s stuck wondering if his insecurity is valid or something he needs to fix. Another letter comes from someone ready to end a long‑term relationship but paralyzed by guilt as his partner is dealing with serious family stress and illness, while also fearing what being alone might look like. There’s a situation involving a year‑long fallout with teenage family members over a misunderstanding that was never discussed, and whether it can still be repaired. And finally, a lis...

Star Wars Day streeters with Maurie, including takes you truly can’t unhear, plus Shem celebrating May the 4th in his own very specific way. A brand‑new Shem song makes its debut, followed by a big interview with Small Town Escapes stars Colin and Justin on leaving city life behind. Eric Braeden makes headlines with an explosive rant aimed at a casting director, and the show dives into Nick Cannon saying his 15‑year‑old son is allowed to date — sparking a heated conversation.

From playoff heartbreak with the Oilers and Raptors, to workplaces cracking down on cell phones, plus Drake shooting a new music video in Toronto. There’s also a wild Full House residuals revelation, history made at the Kentucky Derby, the biggest Met Gala moments, a cruise ship illness affecting Canadians, and why everyone is just realizing Ziggy Marley sang the Arthur theme song.

The team tackles everything from the warning labels they’d come with, breaking up with a longtime barber, and who they’d bring on a cross‑country road trip, to gross workplace habits, why Roz never has to compete in challenges, and finger‑snapping superpowers. Other Deep Dives get into holding petty grudges, refusing a tray of lasagna, who would be the worst therapist, changing your mind on big life opinions, hypothetical body swaps, whether you call it a bathroom, washroom or restroom, and impossible choices like pasta hair or glizzy fingers.

The team tackles everything from the warning labels they’d come with, breaking up with a longtime barber, and who they’d bring on a cross‑country road trip, to gross workplace habits, why Roz never has to compete in challenges, and finger‑snapping superpowers. Other Deep Dives get into holding petty grudges, refusing a tray of lasagna, who would be the worst therapist, changing your mind on big life opinions, hypothetical body swaps, whether you call it a bathroom, washroom or restroom, and impossible choices like pasta hair or glizzy fingers. 

Can Maurie pick up Roz for work again for old time sake? The crew debates life without money and what a new form of currency could be, Mocha opens up about what prompted him to stop drinking and how he did it, and the gang tackles impossible would‑you‑rathers—from getting paid per poop versus per step, to mooing when you cry or squeaking when you laugh. They also unpack Roz’s infamous “mind ya business” response to a sneeze, questionable microwave hotdog techniques, buffet strategy, whether it’s better to be elite at something ridiculous or average at something r...

Roz challenges Chloe to explain Gen X references, the crew reacts to a pregnancy craving combo of tuna and grape jelly, and Roz admits he didn’t know men were getting Brazilian waxes. A listener vents about lying change‑room mirrors, superfan Keeks calls in to talk growing up on the show, and Shem’s birthday turns into a full roast with surprise calls, poems, and Maurie phoning Shems around the world. There’s also a wild fan story involving Jacob Elordi, street interviews about bad food habits, debate over the greatest living American songwriters, clips from Belgium’s Seagull Sc...

This week on The Roz & Mocha Retro Show, we’re talking about the unsung hero of every outfit: pants. We dig back into some classic pants-related moments, from covering the No Pants Subway Ride in 2014, to that same year when a guy went viral for putting his pants on with absolutely no hands, and finally tackling the timeless 2015 debate: are long johns actually underwear? It’s proof that when it comes to pants, we’ve always had opinions — and zero shame.

Andi can’t shake the fear that she’s about to be fired after surviving a toxic job in the past. Mariapia is stuck dealing with a noisy, unpredictable landlord and doesn’t know how to stand up for herself without making things worse. Dave once again needs emergency help figuring out Mother’s Day, and Cassandra opens up about the loneliness and guilt she feels after moving away from her family for her husband’s new job.

Maurie chats with Nicholas Braun about his new project The Sheep Detective. Roz tells the story of an incredibly awkward grocery store run‑in with a listener while buying toilet paper, Shem gets dragged for his obsession with heavy sweaters, and the crew reacts to Ray J claiming he’s slept with over 11,000 women. There’s also confusion and debate around Raptors playoff rules and fan injuries, Drake fans climbing an icy installation searching for a possible album clue, backlash over a viral Ottawa Senators song apology, and an AI‑generated punk track made entirely from a pregnant wife’s real tex...

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are reportedly engaged after eight months of dating, while Channing Tatum appears to react publicly to the news. Ticketmaster Canada is delisting resale tickets in Ontario ahead of new legislation that would cap resale prices at face value. Taylor Swift has been named Spotify’s most-streamed artist of all time as the platform marks its 20th anniversary. The NFL Draft kicked off in Philadelphia with Fernando Mendoza going first overall, reportedly signing a $54‑million deal. Ariana Grande announced her new album Petal, out July 31, as Ted Lasso confirms a Season 4 return this August. Meanwhile, new s...

Public transit horror stories escalate fast, from greasy handrails to full‑on chaos, before a serious question sparks talk of how a proper retirement victory lap should look. The crew debates surviving group projects, who actually washes their hands, and assigns jobs in a chaotic period‑drama version of themselves. Relationship habits get dissected too — sitting beside your partner, last names, sharing passwords, road‑trip patience, and whether anyone would embarrass themselves for a million dollars — all while proving that some questions reveal way more than intended.

If you didn’t know Roz and had to guess his age, what would you say? Roz also reveals what it was like narrating his own book — and whether book narration could become his next money-making lane. What does Mocha actually look like without a hat? If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? Mocha ranks Maynard’s candy from best to worst, the crew decides who would leave a group function first through last, and Roz shares his unfiltered opinion on indoor grills.

A wild day around Drake’s massive Iceman ice sculpture takes over Toronto, from fans uncovering the hidden album release date to firefighters hosing it down and Mayor Olivia Chow reacting. Canadian Olympic ice dancers Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier stop by ahead of the Stars on Ice tour. Plus, we try a lightning‑fast tongue‑twister challenge with “Mouth Health.”

This week on the Roz and Mocha Retro Show, things get downright fowl as the crew dives beak‑first into all things chicken. From the wild discovery in 2015 that you could actually rent a chicken in Toronto, to revisiting the 2015 Chicken Dance era, and even throwing it back to 2013 when Maurie was genuinely stressed about running out of chickens, this episode proves one thing: the show has always been unhinged when poultry is involved. 

A newly married listener can’t shake the resentment over a missing wedding card that keeps getting mentioned but never delivered, another is struggling to coexist now that her husband is home all the time and suddenly controls the movies, the bathroom, and the routine, while someone else feels trapped between a spouse who wants to move their growing family for a better future and a controlling parent who still calls the shots. Weighing loyalty, resentment, compromise, and how much is too much to swallow before saying something.

WrestleMania reactions, Raptors playoff frustration, and chaos around candy binges, gym etiquette, and accidentally swallowing toothpaste. The episode also features Maurie’s interviews with Heated Rivalry costume designer Hanna Puley, Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser on Balls Up, and Devon Hansen, the son of Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, talking about the historic Artemis II mission. Plus, a Helluva Story that has the room stunned as one listener explains how they went to sleep for surgery and woke up with a completely different accent.

Airlines are shortening movie titles to make them fit seat‑back screens, Artemis II astronauts are opening up about an intense re‑entry back to Earth, and Law & Order: Organized Crime is officially finished, with Christopher Meloni getting emotional saying goodbye to fans. There’s new hype after Kevin Feige teased Avengers: Doomsday at CinemaCon, Lana Del Rey dropped a theme song for a new James Bond video game, gas prices are down across the country, a humanoid robot just beat a half‑marathon world record, and a hot air balloon made an emergency landing in a man’s backyard.<

Who would win a home run derby sparks debate, with Mocha topping most lists and Maurie happily placing himself last after a close call at a Jays game. Roz breaks down his favourite rock bands — AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, The Black Crowes, and The Cure — and talks about how hearing his kid play guitar has brought those songs back into his life. The group also reveals the one app they couldn’t live without, from banking and Instagram to Google Maps and Uber Eats, exposing just how differently everyone relies on their phone.

If you could download any skill straight into your brain like The Matrix, what would it be? The crew also gets into whether Roz ever feels the urge to teach Chloe how to cook, who’s actually the best poker player on the show (Vegas experience and “street smarts” are debated), and if Roz has ever thought about working on a golf course thanks to his love of lawn care. Mocha opens up about turning in early, sleep struggles, and whether supplements like magnesium are part of his nighttime routine. Plus: the ultimate breakfast plate breakdown, sausage vs. bacon, eggs d...

The crew attempts a viral screaming challenge that immediately goes off the rails, breaks down Chloe’s very specific vision‑board goals, and gives life advice to listeners hitting milestone birthdays — including turning 40 and 60. Plus, Maurie interviews the viral duo Twink and a Redhead, who were the first to stay at The Cottage from Heated Rivalry, admits he’s broke on payday, and the team fields calls about nose piercings, birthday surprises, annoying songs stuck in your head, squatter hunters, Reddit oddities, and a very adorable four‑year‑old big sister.

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 intervi...

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.

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...

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 st...

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 roas...

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...

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 c...

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 price...

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...

Roz takes issue with Earth Hour, emotional moments follow as a longtime listener remembers his late mother, and the crew plays Shrinkage.

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?
