Do you store your cups upright or upside down in the cupboard? That sparks a surprisingly heated debate, along with fantasy casting themselves as the main character in any show, and revealing the most famous person they could call who would actually pick up. They also get into the pettiest, least valuable thing you could steal to completely inconvenience someone for a day, and share their oddly specific niche group memberships — from “Brown Photographers Under 5’6” to “Church-Going Cheesecake Lovers.”

Mocha celebrates getting his bread settlement money while Roz deals with a declined credit card, as Maurie and Chloe head out horseback riding to promote Dutton Ranch. The crew also talks a wild $200,000 celebrity haircut, vents about shoelaces and people walking on the road, and catches up with the cast of the new Netflix series Mating Season, plus a special conversation with astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

By request from Flaming Romo ‘C’, we’re diving into a Retro Show all about singing—because let’s be honest, we’ve been doing that since day one! From the archives, relive the unforgettable moments like Roz and Mocha taking on “Faith” back in 2013, Maurie bravely belting out Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” (also in 2013), and in honour of Cher turning 80, we throw it back to 2014 when The Damnits gave their iconic take on a Cher classic. It’s pitchy, it’s passionate, and it’s all part of the Roz & Mocha magic!

A longtime strained relationship with an absent father leads to a difficult question about whether an apology is even possible after decades of distance, while another situation explores the emotional balance of waiting years to start a relationship without losing independence or becoming overly attached. Add in the weight of a one-sided household where one partner feels overwhelmed doing everything despite working the same long hours, and it becomes a mix of family pain, relationship boundaries, and the challenge of getting people to truly show up when it matters most

Mocha admits he’s been driving around with an expired license, while Maurie also catches up with Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow amid Drake’s massive album takeover of the city. Chloe shares what it was really like going to a NASCAR event with her boyfriend, plus a wild debate on whether you’d commit a crime if you could freeze time, Kevin O’Leary’s blunt take on divorce, and vented moments from a frustrated pharmacist dealing with impatient customers

Drake made headlines after dropping three albums—Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour—while revealing his father has cancer, as fans gathered at the CN Tower reacting to the news. Meanwhile, early buzz for the new Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu has been mixed ahead of release, and in health news, B.C. confirmed Canada’s first positive case of the Andes strain of hantavirus amid rising concerns about Ebola. In entertainment, Aqua announced their split, Shakira won her tax case in Spain, and Ice Cube says a new Friday movie is officially in the works. Closer to home, Ontario plans to extend last call to 4 a.m. during the World Cup, but the tournament could cost Canadians over $1 billion, while police are reportedly using secret spyware on phones.

Sending an eggplant emoji just to see the reaction, putting the whole crew to the test on who could actually bench press a full human, and revealing the weird things everyone somehow has too much of at home. It goes from chaotic chugging favourites and what everyone would bring to a picnic, to naming a pizzeria, and then into bigger debates—like the one stat you’d want to see above everyone’s head, why certain words hit weird, and whether it’s worse to live slightly too hot or slightly too cold all the time.

On this episode of Ask Roz & Mocha, the gang dives into everything from Maurie’s eating habits (is he finally on real food?!) to brutally honest takes on their least favorite parts of the job. Roz shares thoughtful advice for aspiring children’s authors, while Shem is put on the spot to choose an in-studio intimacy coordinator for a hypothetical love scene. Things get even more chaotic with on-the-fly nicknames for the whole crew, a tough money dilemma ($1 an hour forever or $1M now), and a candid chat about how they’ve all become a little too much like their parents. Plus, they confess the times they faked liking something for friends or partners—and exactly when it went way too far.

Roz goes off on his Samsung washer for blasting a full-on song every time it finishes, then gets nowhere when a listener tries to help him turn it off, plus the crew debates the whole “jinx, buy me a Coke” thing and whether it’s real. There’s also Chloe recapping a chaotic day party, Maurie trying to host with nothing but BBQ cauliflower, and everyone reacting to a viral video of a grandma losing it after finding out she’s becoming one.

This week on The Roz & Mocha Retro Show, it’s all about SMELLS! We throw it back to 2013 when Roz got up close (maybe too close) during Movember and sniffed Maurie’s moustache, plus a 2015 chat on the scents we absolutely love—and the ones we can’t stand. And of course, we open the phones to hear about the smells you’re obsessed with!
