Shem slept in this week, so to make him feel a little better, we took a trip back to some classic late arrivals — starting in 2013 with the time Maurie slept in, then again in 2015 when Maurie once again didn’t make it in on time. We wrap with another 2015 moment, when Maple Leafs’ Nazem Kadri was actually sent home for being late, proving even the pros aren’t immune to a rough morning.

A series of relatable life dilemmas—from feeling hurt after a close friend used a long‑planned baby name, to dealing with overwhelming guilt after missing a child’s milestone birthday, to navigating anxiety as a parent constantly worried about their kid’s safety. There’s also the stress of being in love with a partner who won’t prioritize financial stability, struggles with a pet that won’t let its owner sleep, and the emotional challenge of temporarily separating from family to make ends meet—real situations that spark honest conversation about relationships, responsibility, and how to cope when life doesn’t go as planned.

Roz is stuck driving a rental he absolutely hates while his truck’s in the shop, Melissa drops $2,000 on a new phone after getting roasted for her audio quality, and Mocha brings in more chaotic A.I. songs—including one built from a wild hookup story text thread. Plus, Maurie hits the World Cup scene chatting with celebs and fans (some very drunk), the crew reacts to Europeans discovering yellow school buses are real, and a listener shares the unbelievable story of breaking both arms during a run and somehow powering through.

The Carolina Hurricanes win their first Stanley Cup in 20 years, while the New York Knicks end a 53-year drought to become NBA champions — with celebrations spilling into arrests and fires — as World Cup action continues with Canada earning a historic point and Lionel Messi delivering a hat trick, plus Maurie catching up with Ed Robertson and Ghana star Fatawu Issahaku. Ron MacLean is forced to apologize for an on-air joke during the Final, 12 children are hospitalized after an incident at Cultus Lake Waterpark, and in entertainment news, Seth Rogen distances himself from James Franco, Sabrina Carpenter is granted a restraining order, Shania Twain joins Harry Styles on tour, and Maurie sits down with Scott Speedman and Robbie G.K.

Elevator chaos sparks debate on who would panic, who would sleep through it, and how far Roz would go to solve a bathroom emergency, while the crew also tackles irrational fears they’re “too old” for and Roz’s intense anti-Montreal sports loyalty. Things spiral with hypotheticals about getting kicked off flights and how everyone would describe themselves in one word, before getting into relationship quirks they can’t complain about, brutal partner reviews, and the ultimate debate of giving up kissing or sauces forever. Add in wild listener questions about rat-free Alberta, animal battle showdowns, confusing TV plotlines, and ranking movie genres, and it’s a full deep dive into personalities, petty opinions, and absolute chaos.

Who is the better kisser—you or your partner? Plus, Roz finally gets the answer to where Mocha disappeared to after missing the last Ask Roz & Mocha (wah gwaan, my guy?!). The crew debates the ultimate sacrifice—sex, love, or money—and guesses what their partners would choose, shares stories of faking it till making it (and when it totally flopped), checks in on whether Maurie fully committed to birthday freebie season, imagines what their pets would really say about them in a brutally honest review, ranks how much of life is luck versus hard work, and breaks down the house rules they live by—for family and guests alike.

Back from Jamaica, the chaos continues with lingering sand, travel stories, and Mocha still catching heat for his timing, while Maurie gets birthday love and, of course, roasted for it. The crew keeps things rolling with laughs about the trip aftermath, plus a big moment as they chat with SNL’s James Austin Johnson, bringing his wild impressions and energy to the show while everything quickly spirals in the best way.

This weekend on the Roz and Mocha Retro Show, it’s all things toilets and bathrooms—because of course it is. From checking for snakes before sitting down, to stealing toilet paper, to hitting the streets and asking people the most uncomfortable question possible—what are you doing in there? Expect classic moments, weird confessions, and a whole lot of bathroom chaos from the archives.

A packed Friday pod reliving the Jamaica trip, where Roz and Mocha roast Shem, Maurie and Chloe for checking bags, Maurie and Shem bring back their questionable couples massage, and the crew tells stories about Mocha refusing to go in the water, Roz living off patties, and Maurie looking “sickly” jumping into the ocean with Chloe — who he also apparently traveled with as her “dad manager.” Plus, sand showing up everywhere, karaoke highlights, the chaos of leaving when Mocha slept in but still took forever, and Maurie catching up with Snooki about her new paranormal series.

Madonna is generating buzz with a celebrity-filled short film for her upcoming album, while Rosie O’Donnell says she’s done with cosmetic surgery.
