Roz & Mocha

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.

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.

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?

Roz kicks off spring by confessing all the places he’s gone barefoot, while the team vents about misleading triple‑decker sandwiches, expensive underwear habits, and how badly drivers handle fire trucks on the road. There’s a wild Helluva Story from Joseph, who survived a terrifying childhood animal attack, a viral heated argument in Jamaican Parliament, and Chloe’s painful cooking accident. Plus, birthday love for a longtime listener, debate over whether Roz’s friends “Frank” and “Carl” actually exist, a look at new Blue Jays eats at Rogers Centre — and Maurie interviews Blue Jays great Kevin Pillar ahead of the new season.

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.

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.
