Roz & Mocha

 Should Roz finally shave his beard? Would the entire Roz & Mocha “radio family” ever take a massive group vacation together? Listeners also dig into Mocha’s childhood tricycle crash (and whether he kept the infamous wood he smashed into), debate the best waffle toppings, and face the impossible choice: fingers as long as legs, or legs as long as fingers? Plus—if a crime needed solving, who on the show would make the ultimate partner? And did Mocha’s mom and Shem’s mom ever actually meet? All that and more in another unhinged, hilarious episode you don’t want to miss.

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. Then we jump to 2013 to revisit what might’ve been the worst rap song of the year, straight out of Montreal with no money, no bars, and definitely no candy. Finally, we return to 2016 for a heated debate over the top candy bars of all time.

A debate breaks out over the fictional character deaths that still haunt listeners, followed by a question about whether constant lying can become someone’s truth, and a dilemma between seeing every germ or witnessing the full journey of your food before it hits the plate.

Smith on what laundry day is like in the Olympic Village (plus the food and daily chaos).

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.

A partner discovers that someone close to their family is being cheated on and is torn between staying silent or stepping in. Another listener is overwhelmed trying to keep their sanity while juggling a full house, long work hours, and nonstop chaos at home.

This week’s Deep Dive tackles chaotic bathroom emergencies, who would survive a Fear‑Factor‑style showdown, the eternal battle between cleaning while guests are over or leaving the mess till later, the shock of moving from a small city to a big one, and even whether turbulence helps people sleep on planes. From stomach‑turning confessions to city‑life culture shocks and strange personal habits, it’s a wild mix of oversharing, life rules, and very questionable comfort strategies.

This week on the Roz & Mocha Retro Podcast, we clearly picked our clips while hungry—because it’s all about burgers and fries!

Then we revisit the bizarre 2018 story of a guy trying to sell a six‑year‑old burger for only $29 (a steal… or a stomach ache?). And from 2017, we learn something truly shocking: Maurie proudly microwaving his fries before eating them. It’s a deliciously crispy, slightly questionable blast from the past!

A birthday turns into a yearly battle with disappointing gifts, a partner who can’t stop stealing bites of everyone’s food, parents threatening to skip a wedding unless it happens in a church, and the heartbreak of losing a beloved dog and struggling with the guilt that follows. This week’s FML dives into frustration, family pressure, relationship boundaries, and the emotional weight of grief—four stories, all looking for clarity, comfort, and a way forward.

Super Bowl food talk gets out of control as everyone compares their massive spreads — except Maurie, who only had an apple — and Shem reveals he voiced a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial with Alessia Cara.

Other submissions dive into beauty routines, reality‑TV obsessions, Super Bowl traditions, and the eternal question of who actually pays at dinner.
