Roz & Mocha

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. And don’t miss Bianca’s insane snake‑in‑the‑house story, Roz’s handmade Valentine’s knife reveal, and the latest Olympic curling controversy.

LeBron James makes NBA history as the oldest player ever to record a triple‑double, the Backstreet Boys set their sights on the next Super Bowl halftime show, and Trump pardons five former pro football players. We break down the curling controversy at the Olympics, Brooklyn Beckham’s unfollowing of Gordon Ramsay, and President Obama’s eyebrow‑raising comments about aliens. 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!

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. Maurie speaks with one of the human bushes from Bad Bunny’s halftime show, and Mocha gets called out after a fan swears she spotted him at St. Louis Bar & Grill in full camo. At the Olympics, Maurie interviews snowboarder Florian Lechner, who’s searching for a Valentine’s Day date in the Village, and talks with Professor Victor Satzewich about granting figure skater Madeline Schizas an assignment extension while she competed. South African cross‑country skier Matt C. Smith checks in with more Village stories, Chloe quizzes her friends on Valentine’s expectations, and Roz surprises everyone by admitting he’s spending Valentine’s Day making knives with his brother.
