Roz & Mocha

This week’s Roz & Mocha Retro episode is a trip back to one of the show’s most random—and most requested—throwback bits! Big thanks to Brandon for asking us to revive the segment we honestly don’t remember why we stopped doing: “Rub It On My Face.” We dug deep into the vault and pulled together a bunch of wild, hilarious moments from the original “Rub It On My Face” segments dating all the way back to 2013. Get ready for pure vintage chaos from the early days of Roz & Mocha!

A tense week of FMLs, featuring a sister whose explosive low‑blow fights make even surface‑level relationships feel impossible, a high‑school worker overwhelmed by a system with zero discipline or accountability, someone pushed to the edge after being left to launch an entire store alone, and a fan who’s lost all motivation to watch WWE since their favourite retired. Real stress, real frustration, and real people just trying to figure it out.

Mocha can’t stop saying “that’s what she said” while Jenna teaches Cruze the recorder, the crew debates who would win a Thirst Trap Thursday battle, Roz suffers through an itchy Mexico sunburn while everyone argues about payday, we break down the Blood Moon confusion, Maurie gets reaction to B.C. moving to permanent daylight time, we translate The Lion King’s “Circle of Life,” hear a wild vent about a nightmare basement neighbour, talk Jamaican patties and Victorian slang, Maurie chats with the Law & Order Toronto cast, the team vents about broken car signals, chats with Stephan James about War Machine, and covers everything from the future of Jersey Shore to Tate McRae’s new relationship.

 John Tory confirms he won’t run for mayor in 2026, Netflix backs away from buying Warner Bros. Discovery’s assets, Canadian passport fees are set to rise, Scream 7 crushes the box office, a massive Baywatch reboot casting call turns heads, Justin Timberlake moves to block release of his 2024 DUI bodycam footage, and we hit quick updates on Zendaya–Tom Holland marriage chatter, 3D‑printed homes in California, and more.

 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 tough cross‑country decision has one listener torn between supporting a partner’s big career move and losing the comfort of family close by, while another is desperate for advice after the walls in her duplex prove way too thin—leading to awkward daytime surprises from the neighbours below.

Michael Townsend shares the unbelievable true story behind The Secret Mall Apartment, the Netflix documentary about the hidden living space he and fellow artists built inside a mall. Maurie sits down with Kurt and Wyatt Russell to talk Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and the wild new titan shaking up Season 2. Thomas from Starbucks calls in after watching Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie, revealing what Maurie is really like when he struts into the café. And we celebrate Mike’s birthday with a deep dive into Lush products, banana‑scented conditioner, and why Maurie’s descriptions always somehow get weird fast.

Chaos erupts in Mexico after the army kills a powerful cartel leader, while Trump’s State of the Union sparks headlines by promising NHL star Connor Hellebuyck the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Taylor Sheridan drops a surprise announcement about his new prison survival book, and newly surfaced details reveal Liza Minnelli hated her 2022 Oscars moment with Lady Gaga. Plus, an Apple keyboard update is causing major typing issues, the iconic Heated Rivalry cottage is opening for rent on Airbnb, and a shocking tech flaw gave one man access to 7,000 home camera feeds worldwide. In lighter news, Ikea’s orangutan plush goes viral, Sidney Crosby is out four weeks with an Olympic injury, Max Scherzer rejoins the Blue Jays, and a New York grandpa battles the DMV over his revoked “PB4WEGO” plate — all topped off with Crispin Glover denying new battery allegations.

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. Then the team weighs in on who has the worst potty mouth, whether life is better with free gas or endless green lights, comparisons to a commercial jingle singer, and a showdown over everyone’s real height, pillow preferences, and who would dominate a puzzle challenge.

Get ready for another wild round of Ask Roz & Mocha! This week, we find out the very specific condition required for Roz to call a caller “LOVE,” debate which iconic on‑screen food we wish we could actually eat, and witness the showdown of the century: can Mocha beat Chloe in an arm‑wrestling match? Plus, Roz and Mocha reveal the one roommate quirk that would drive anyone insane—and the one that might actually make them lovable. And if you had to style your home in a single era forever, what would you choose: Victorian? The 1800s? The ’50s? The guys have thoughts.

With the Winter Games in Milano wrapping up, we’re celebrating our best Olympic chats — from Team Canada’s women’s hockey team before take off to our repeat check ins with South Africa’s Matt C. Smith on what laundry day is like in the Olympic Village (plus the food and daily chaos). We caught up with flag bearer Mikael Kingsbury on going from silver to Canada’s first gold of the Games, and Valerie Maltais, who got Canada on the board with bronze. Maurie’s Village scoop continued with snowboarder Florian Lechner on the quest for love — and yes, we did a follow up. Plus, Nick Novak hilariously set the record straight on the whole “Penisgate” chatter sweeping the Games. Best-of Milano 2026: medals, mayhem, and maximum vibes.

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. And one partner regrets promising unlimited football time after realizing that a single TV and an intense fandom have taken over every weekend. Three messy dilemmas, zero easy answers, all very FML.

Maurie chats with Olympic gold medalist Mikael Kingsbury, and Chloe recounts her disastrous tequila‑fuelled weekend. Shem visits students for Black History Month, while Piper Gilles joins the show fresh off her Olympic bronze. Maurie hits the streets to see if people would date themselves, and Sterling K. Brown checks in to talk Paradise Season 2. Plus, Roz reacts to an aspiring oldest Olympian, Sarah McLachlan shines on Tiny Desk, and a Bad Bunny halftime dancer sells their costume for $5K.

Plus, major celeb news—from Robert Duvall and Rev. Jesse Jackson’s passings, to Shia LaBeouf’s arrest, to Tyra Banks drama in the new America’s Next Top Model doc. All that, along with Canada’s big Olympic wins, the viral pronunciation videos from athletes, and YouTube’s first‑ever upload being acquired by a museum.

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.

What happens if Roz and Mocha secretly fall in love on the show — would they have to hide it, and how jealous would Maurie get? Plus, should you tell your partner when someone flirts with you, Roz shares his favourite and least favourite parts of growing up in Acton, and we debate whether you call out someone who leaves the washroom without washing their hands. We also get into the pain of blowing a kiss to the wrong person and the ultimate bread‑slice controversy: do you eat the ends of the loaf?

Mocha gets roasted for his heated gloves, and the Snitch Line lights up with hotel décor drama and a dental‑office tattletale. Maurie talks with Olympic bronze medalist Valerie Maltais, then checks in with Olympian Nick Novak about the now‑infamous “frozen penis” warnings. We also hear from Canadian biathlete Adam Runnalls about knitting sweaters at the Games, and actor Stephen Amell joins us to talk about his new series The Borderline. Plus, Roz rages over the latest iPhone update, Stephanie’s parents describe their terrifying car accident, and Mocha gets distracted by wild A.I. celebrity videos.

This week on the Roz & Mocha Retro Podcast, we clearly picked our clips while hungry—because it’s all about burgers and fries! We’re kicking things off in 2018 with the legendary Great Burger Debate: what is the correct way to stack a burger? 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!
