TABLE OF CONTENTS, JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-11-2-26Mary Kissel discusses North Korea's transformation into a critical military supplier for Russia's war in Ukraine, providing ballistic missiles and thousands of combat troops. This collaboration integrates Pyongyang into an "axis of tyranny" alongside Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran to challenge the West and NATO. Kissel notes that the Kim regime's involvement stems from a desire for cash, a need to demonstrate missile capabilities, and a shared goal of weakening U.S.global influence. This development highlights the long-term failure of U.S. diplomacy to prevent North Korean nuclear proliferation and serves as a warning regarding Iran. (1)Jonathan Schanzer addresses the mysterious absence of Iran's Supreme Leader and the resulting tightening grip of the IRGC on the government. The regime is characterized as sclerotic, relying on aging hardliners with "blood on their hands" to maintain power. Meanwhile, the Houthis have escalated attacks in the Red Sea, targeting Saudi infrastructure and shipping ports like Mocha and Jazan. Schanzer argues this is a strategic move by Iran to shut down trade on both sides of the Arabian Peninsula, exploiting a lack of unity between competitive regional powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. (2)Liz Peek analyzes the surprisingly vigorous U.S. economy, where consumer spending and small business optimism remain high despite elevated oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from the stock market continues to buoy the economy. Politically, Peek highlights a "civil war" within the Democratic Party, where "revolutionary" candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are challenging the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These far-left candidates struggle with electability among moderate voters in general elections. (3)Joseph Sternberg observes that the current midterm cycle has become an "election about nothing," with both parties failing to articulate clear policy agendas. He argues that Congress has outsourced its constitutional authority to the executive branch and regulatory agencies, losing the habit of legislating. This vacuum is being filled by "celebrity influencers" from the MAGA and DSA factions who prioritize social media attention over governing. Consequently, critical issues like Social Security reform and fiscal reality are being ignored until an inevitable crisis forces congressional action. (4)Gregory Copley evaluates the new "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which aims to counter Iranian influence despite mutual distrust among the members. The discussion also explores the massive transformation of global trade routes, including China's "Ice Silk Road" through the Arctic and Russia's International North-South Transport Corridor. Copley notes that these routes aim to bypass vulnerable maritime choke points like the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he provides a report on King Charles III's summer activities and public engagements in Scotland. (5)Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's shift toward "socialism on the right," evidenced by the government taking ownership stakes in private companies like Intel. Often justified by national security, these interventions mirror European state-owned enterprise models that historically burden taxpayers and distort market competition. De Rugy argues that such moves make private companies hostage to government dictates, such as labor or diversity requirements. By adopting policies championed by far-left senators like Bernie Sanders, the administration risks damaging long-term economic efficiency and creating a "state enterprise" system similar to China's. (6)Ahmad Sharawi explains that Russia has secured its military foothold in Syria through a new memorandum of understanding with the Al-Shara government. Russia will maintain access to vital maritime and aerial bases for its operations in the Mediterranean and Africa, while Syria remains dependent on Russian grain and energy. Sharawi notes that the U.S. appears to be losing diplomatic leverage by removing sanctions without obtaining counterterrorism concessions or progress in neutralizing ISIS. The new Syrian administration is successfully playing major powers against each other to maintain domestic stability and maximize international benefits. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio discuss the "Board of Peace" plan for post-war Gaza, which proposes a civilian Palestinian government overseen by international forces. A significant impasse remains: Israel refuses to withdraw until Hamas is disarmed, while Hamas has endorsed the plan, likely hoping its allies—Turkey and Qatar—will oversee the verification process. The discussion reveals that Gaza's tunnel network is more extensive than previously believed, with only 40–50% cleared after years of war. One proposed solution to prevent Hamas from regrouping is filling the remaining tunnels with cement. (8)Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the Michigan Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar supported by the far-left DSA. El-Sayed's primary victory over the Democratic establishment highlights the growing influence of "woke" ideology in college towns. While El-Sayed attempts to pivot to the center for the general election, his lack of a public voting record makes his true agenda difficult to pin down. McCotter suggests the race will test whether voters will reject the "Jacobin" manifestations of cancel culture and extreme progressive policies in favor of a more traditional candidate. (9)All nine files this time, with Gregory Copley in place at (5).

//The Wire//1800Z August 12, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: OIL CRISIS CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE AS STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE DROPS BELOW 300 MILLION BARRELS. WAR IN MIDDLE EAST REMAINS COMPLICATED, SHIPPING REMAINS STAGNANT. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESULTS IN MURDERS AT DAYCARE IN MINNESOTA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Around the region the war remains as before, with no major strikes being reported overnight. The war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia has continued to increase in complexity following the Houthi strikes on the Jazan refinery last week. Saudi Arabia has stepped up efforts to fund and supply the official Yemeni government, which was outcast by the Houthis capturing and holding the capital city years ago. Analyst Comment: For the past decade, the Saudis have tried to undermine the Houthi control of Yemen by funding the exiled government forces which still control pockets of influence around the country. A few days ago, a strike was reported in the city of Mocha in Yemen, which was originally reported as being of Saudi origin. Turns out, it was the Houthis themselves striking the sector of the city that still remains in government control, targeting a collection of Saudi advisors which were working with the Yemeni government.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning a suspicious device was discovered in the vicinity of the Engine Company 20 fire station. One device comprised of a thermos container with wires wrapped around it was discovered by authorities, prompting a lockdown of the area. EOD responded to the scene and stated that the device was not a threat.Minnesota: This morning a stabbing attack was reported at a child care facility in Hopkins. Local authorities state that two adults and one child were stabbed at Brown Bear Childcare, a private residence converted to a daycare. All three individuals are reported deceased. Throughout the day, official sources have indicated that this was a domestic violence incident between the owners of the daycare, which resulted in one of the adults murdering the other, before murdering their child, and then themselves. The attack was witnessed by six other children, as well as a parent who had arrived at the residence to drop off their child.Analyst Comment: This attack took place at 236 Tyler Ave North. The business itself is registered with the state and has an active childcare license, with no violations or concerns being readily available online. Reviews are very positive, and the business appeared to be a small and wholesome daycare run out of a private residence. Prior to the murders this morning, this address had been listed on a local garage sale page. The listing claiming that the daycare had been scheduled to close at the end of the month, but how (or if) this fits in is unclear at the moment. As a result, this horrifically brutal attack is very out of the ordinary for Hopkins, and further analysis will be required to determine why this happened.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Concerning the impact of the Gulf War on global energy markets, the situation is still desperate. Oil transits through Hormuz are very minimal, with the NAVCENT-run reporting sources no longer publicly disclosing all of the Iranian strikes on tanker vessels. Many observers visually seeing a burning hull on the horizon, or crude oil washing ashore, is about as "confirmed" as it can get, and over the past few weeks several strikes have taken place that have not been reported by the UKMTO. In terms of what this is doing to the oil markets, Hormuz is back to very minimal oil flows. The constant Houthi targeting down in the Red Sea region has also resulted in the Saudi's cutting production at many oil terminals and processing facilities, and the Omanis are quietly trying to export more oil from their terminals which bypass the Strait...efforts which get derailed when a tanker gets struck by a drone/cruise missle.Where we go from here is hard to say, but the situation has been slow to develop. If a person is watching a car crash in slow motion, and it takes 6 months for the impact, people get bored. This appears to be what's happened as this war has dragged on for almost half a year. This has resulted in complacency, even though the overall situation is incredibly serious. The United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at a breakneck pace, to the point that we are approaching the physical limits of how much oil can be withdrawn from storage. This oil is not really being processed within the US, but rather sold on the international market so as to keep the price of oil artificially low globally. Last week, the SPR dropped to 298.7 million barrels of oil in storage, all total. This is the first time that the SPR has dipped this low since the 1980's, when the demand was 20-30% lower than it is today. More broadly, this is also a major milestone in terms of how close we're getting to tank bottom. There is debate regarding how low the SPR can be drawn down. A common figure over the years has been that the US can theoretically drain the SPR down to 70 million barrels. There is also a legal floor as well, with 42 USC § 6241 mandating that the SPR cannot be drawn below 252 million barrels for national security reasons. Of course, this is a law that can be reliably ignored by both the White House and Congress itself, but it is a number to work from...and we're getting close to it.Last year the Government Accountability Office conducted a large-scale study on the SPR, which found that due to infrastructure degradation over the years, the entire system can only pump out a fraction of what it was previously capable of. The report did not explicitly state the magic number of how low we can go, but the report did state that regardless of where the bottom of the tank actually is, we can only pump it out at a rate that is 61% of what it was designed for. This means that not only are our tanks scraping bottom, but we are also limited in how fast we can drain what's left. Like a broken record, the story has constantly repeated since the war began...demand remains the same, but supply is down. The basics of that fact can only be concealed, manipulated, and talked-down for so long before supply itself runs out. As the SPR cruises past the 300 million barrel milestone, more motivation is stacking up to re-enter the diplomatic phase once again, before the energy crisis gets much worse.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

TABLE OF CONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-10-2026.John Hardie reports North Korea is deploying a specialized unit equipped with KN-23 and KN-24 short-range ballistic missiles to assist Russia's war efforts. This shipment, potentially totaling 120 missiles, significantly bolsters Russia's magazine depth as it continues pounding Ukrainian cities. The relationship is mutually beneficial: Russia receives much-needed munitions and troops, while North Korea gains combat experience and technical assistance for its satellite and missile programs. Ukraine, facing a critical shortage of air defense interceptors, is seeking to use Starlink within Russian territory to hunt and strike these missile launchers before they can fire. (1)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa report Venezuelan negotiators have established a timeline for a political transition, aiming to restore rights and select new electoral authorities by December. However, there are significant concerns regarding the lack of a firm election date and the ongoing militarization of the Bolivarian revolution. Simultaneously, diplomatic relations between Brazil and the U.S. have deteriorated, resulting in the U.S. revoking the credentials of Brazil's ambassador. In Colombia, new president Abelardo de la Espriella has launched a decisive military response against narco-terrorism, a move that regional leaders hope will dismantle the cross-border havens used by Venezuelan-linked criminal groups. (2)Malcolm Hoenlein discusses a new mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan that has emerged to counter Iranian influence and the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, in Gaza, empirical data from UNICEF and the WHO challenges international narratives of famine, showing malnutrition rates are actually lower than in many neighboring countries. Theft of aid by Hamas remains a primary obstacle to relief efforts. In Iran, the regime faces severe domestic instability due to energy and water shortages, yet it continues to make extreme "non-negotiable" demands of the U.S., including $300 billion in reparations, while escalating public executions to silence internal dissent. (3)David Daoud explains Iran is currently leveraging negotiations with the U.S. to secure a ceasefire that protects Hezbollah from further Israeli military pressure while allowing the group to rebuild. Critics argue that U.S. security assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) is a poor investment, as the LAF lacks the political will to disarm Hezbollah within its own borders. While a fragile ceasefire has shifted active war toward localized "policing operations" and skirmishes, Hezbollah explicitly rejects any linkage between an Israeli withdrawal and its own disarmament. The Trump administration is reportedly prioritizing "quiet" in Lebanon, which has forced Israeli forces into a more reactive posture. (4)Mariam Wahba reports the Sudanese civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), now entering its fourth year, has left over 400,000 dead. The conflict has evolved into a complex proxy war; the UAE supports the RSF to gain access to gold mines, while Egypt and Turkey lean toward the SAF. Iran has further complicated the battlefield by selling drones and hardware to both factions. Although neither side is seen as morally superior, civilians frequently celebrate when the SAF liberates territory from the RSF. Sudanese activists continue to call for a transition to civilian government despite the ongoing violence. (5)Bridget Toomey reports the Houthis have escalated their regional campaign by striking Saudi Arabia's Jazan refinery, demonstrating their ability to disrupt global energy markets despite recent defense pacts. Within Yemen, the Houthis are intensifying attacks on government-held ports like Mocha and oil-rich regions like Marib to expand their territorial control. These strikes often target civilian displacement camps, using ballistic missiles and drones to sow terror and gain leverage in future negotiations. While Saudi Arabia pursues diplomatic off-ramps through Omani mediation, the Houthis continue to use military pressure to force an agreement favorable to their long-term dominance. (6)Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the Houthis' methodical campaign, likely coordinated with Iran, to intimidate Saudi Arabia and prevent its entry into the Abraham Accords. Recent strikes on Mocha and Jazan highlight a resurgence of the 12-year-old Yemeni civil war, which remains a primary source of regional instability. While a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan and Turkey offers symbolic support to the Saudis, it lacks the practical military "teeth" to intervene on the ground. Meanwhile, the UAE is asserting itself as an agile regional powerhouse, investing in high-tech infrastructure and maintaining an uncompromising stance against the Muslim Brotherhood. (7)Janatyn Sayeh analyzes the appointment of Mohsen Rezaei, an original IRGC veteran, to the Supreme National Security Council, signaling a return to hardline, ideologically driven decision-making in Tehran. Rezaei, linked to past international terrorism, reinforces the regime's aggressive stance against the U.S. and Israel. Iran currently refuses to engage in talks until the U.S. meets extreme demands, including unfreezing all assets and paying billions in reparations. The regime utilizes a "good cop, bad cop" strategy between factions to maximize leverage, but remains unified in its goals of expanding its nuclear program and securing regional dominance through its "resistance axis." (8)Conrad Black reports Prime Minister Mark Carney is under pressure to revitalize Canada's economy 16 months after his election. Despite being a "treasure house" of resources, Canada suffers from lengthy project delays caused by redundant provincial regulations and indigenous land claims. Black notes that Canada's public sector workforce is disproportionately large, representing 12% of the population, and calls for corporate tax cuts to foster competitiveness. While Carney is exploring diversified trade, the U.S. remains Canada's indispensable partner, accounting for roughly 64% of its trade. Carney's political survival depends on achieving the kind of robust growth seen south of the border. (9)Scott Harold explains the U.S. and Japan are adopting a "walking quietly and carrying a big stick" approach to deter a Chinese attack on Taiwan. This strategy involves creating a "hellscape" of thousands of drones and missiles to make an amphibious assault impossibly risky for Beijing. While Japan's official documents avoid explicitly naming Taiwan to prevent escalation, its leadership views a conflict as a survival-endangering situation. China's attempts to annex portions of the Western Pacific as domestic waters pose a direct threat to the global economy. Persistent deterrence remains essential, as the Chinese military currently lacks high-end operational experience and faces leadership purges. (10)Bill Gertz reports a Pentagon official's attendance at a People's Liberation Army (PLA) celebration has sparked fears of a "defeatist" accommodation policy toward Beijing. Critics argue that seeking "respectful relations" with a Leninist regime is interpreted as subservience and weakness. This shift is reportedly influenced by concerns over Chinese control of rare earth minerals. China continues its global expansion and military bullying against neighbors like the Philippinesand Japan. Gertz warns that the U.S. education system is failing to inform the public about the threats of China's high-tech totalitarian system, which seeks to dominate through economic and military coercion. (11)

BRITISH MOD ALLEGEDLY INVESTIGATING VULNERABILITIES WITH NEWLY-PURCHASED DRONE BOAT FLEET.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The situation continues as before, with routine strikes being carried out over the weekend. Iran has continued to strike merchant shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with daily targeting efforts being reported for about a week. Overnight, a tanker vessel was struck in the Strait, with the resulting fire being visible from land.Red Sea/HOA: The Houthis have been active over the past few days, conducting low-level strikes against the Saudi staging areas along the border region with Yemen. More significantly, the Houthis have also struck the Jazan refinery again, with the Saudis targeting the port of Mocha in Yemen.France: As wildfires have continued to spread around the nation, French authorities have announced the arrest of over 420x individuals on charges of arson, at least 166x of which are individuals claiming to be minors who admitted to deliberately starting fires.United Kingdom: This morning the Telegraph published a leak from within the Ministry of Defense, pertaining to the new K3 Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) that have been purchased by the Royal Marines. The leak alleges that some components within the drone boat fleet are made in China, and actually "phone home" to data centers back in China. The Ministry of Defense has denied any security vulnerabilities, but an emergency audit has been announced to investigate the matter.Analyst Comment: Having a foreign adversary contribute to any part of the production chain for highly secret and cutting-edge military technology is a suboptimal decision.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This morning an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.4 was reported in the western districts of Colombia, which resulted in infrastructure damage throughout the region. The city of Cali was hardest hit, with many structures collapsing or otherwise suffering major damage. So far, roughly 20x fatalities have been reported outright, but the true scale of the damage will take some time to determine due to the remote nature of many affected villages. There is not a lot of information on how bad the damage is, and most of what has circulated are videos showing the damage, or other first hand reports. At the time of this report, this is a developing story, and details are likely to change as more information becomes available.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Roz admits he's already disappointing Katherine for Father's Day while the crew recaps their weekends, including Mocha grilling by the pool and Roz mowing the lawn, plus a fan-made A.I. Father's Day song hilariously roasting Shem. There's World Cup excitement with reactions from fans in Vancouver and Toronto after Canada's big win and more from Portugal supporters at Fan Fest, where Maurie also got love from a caller who invited him to a family dinner after crashing their picnic.

Mike Lomas and Mike Hoeflich (joined by Mocha on the leather couch) open with JD Vance's appearance on The View and whether conservatives like Lee Zeldin should chase that kind of exposure. They knock the price tag and prison-like look of the new Obama Presidential Center, mark another violent Father's Day weekend in Chicago, and marvel at World Cup visitors discovering America is nothing like the oppressive place the media describes. Mike Lomas breaks down the SpaceX stock debut, why an IPO doesn't open at its offering price, and why a name like that is a 10-to-15-year hold rather than a morning trade, with a detour into how fast the AI chip sector now moves. A long nostalgia run covers dead retailers like Bells, Ames, Twin Fair, Gold Circle, and the Swiss Chalet sauce addiction, plus a gripe about vanished retail customer service. They close on Dr. Puthoff's four alien species, Hochul's healthcare expansion, Trump's John James endorsement, and a serious take on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.00:00:00 The View, JD Vance, and the "no experience" campaign pitch00:04:45 Obama Presidential Center: cost, criticism, and the hypocrisy00:08:06 Chicago's violent Father's Day weekend00:10:08 World Cup, Messi, and why visitors love America00:13:11 SpaceX stock: how IPOs really open and the long-term play00:17:12 AI chip volatility and dead brands (Bells, Ames, Swiss Chalet)00:23:01 The decline of retail customer service00:26:50 Four alien species and pink-haired algae activists00:30:03 Hochul's healthcare bill and the John James endorsement00:32:47 Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and a Western NY summer sign-off

Who's the better kisser—you or your partner? Plus, we finally track down Mocha after he mysteriously missed the last Ask Roz & Mocha (where'd you go, my guy?!), debate whether we'd give up sex, love, or money (and guess what our partners would choose), and share stories of faking it till we made it—both the wins and total fails. We also find out if Maurie cashed in on every possible birthday freebie, imagine what our pets would say if they could review us, rate how much of life really comes down to luck, and reveal the house rules we live by (and expect guests to follow).

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.

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.

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.

On today's podcast, Roz calls out his wife for constantly losing her credit card, a superfan gets grilled in an on-air “job interview,” and the guys play an adorable round of Heads Up with a 4-year-old listener—plus Mocha trolls everyone by killing the mics, admits to crushing five slices of ice cream cake, and Maurie hits the CSA carpet chatting with Andrew Phung and Heated Rivalry star Robbie GK

By request, Jason wanted more classic calls to Roz, so we delivered a triple throwback: from 2014 when he phoned Roz just to chat, to another 2014 call trying to get him out for a beer, and finally jumping to 2015 for the unforgettable moment he called Roz to confess he was in love with him.

On today's podcast, Shem's daily affirmations set the tone, Chloe answers tough questions from Mocha's 9-year-old nephew about her party, and a rant about the lack of peanuts on Drumsticks spirals into a full snack debate—plus, the crew imagines Roz in a durag, reacts to a clueless Star Wars review, and Maurie chats with Alison Brie about Masters of the Universe

Mocha tried to sound tough to start the show but got roasted for being completely non-threatening, even when he escalated things, while Maurie hit the streets asking people what petty items they'd fight for in a divorce. Roz became fully obsessed with a ridiculous mayo-on-a-car viral video, which somehow led into a wildly detailed (and very revealing) conversation about people's bathroom habits that nobody asked for. Plus, payday excitement had everyone planning their splurges, Chloe recapped the Bruno Mars show, and the crew caught up with Tom Green and the team behind Nirvanna the Band as the chaos just kept rolling.

Just in time for Father's Day, the Roz & Mocha Retro Show dives into the archives for some unforgettable dad-themed moments—from 2013, when Maurie hilariously calls Roz to try and ruin his Father's Day, to that same year on the MMVA red carpet where Maurie confidently says it's 2010… despite it clearly being 2013. Plus, a look back at 2014 when the crew chats with the Toronto Blue Jays about celebrating Father's Day.

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! 

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

If your lips are feeling a little unloved as the cooler weather sets in, you're not alone. This week, Kelly is joined by Amy Clark (filling in for Leigh), and let’s just say they are both having a major lip product moment. They're breaking down the ultimate winter lip combo, including the $38 Mecca find that acts like the "Faber-Castell of lip stains" and the $15 nourishing balm that lets you choose between a "milkshake" or a "thick shake" finish. Plus, Amy shares the $6 Kmart blush she immediately drove to buy after seeing it on Instagram, a pricey-but-worth-it at-home keratin treatment that claims to banish frizz for three months, and Kelly reveals the groundbreaking, contraband-photo-worthy $160 serum that literally had her flying all the way to Paris and London to investigate.

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!

Roz celebrates Roxy getting her driver's license before she destroys the whole team in a driver's handbook challenge, plus Maurie hits the red carpet with Jacob Tierney and Maggie Kang and gets some scoop on season 2 of Heated Rivalry and K-Pop Demon Hunters. There's also a wild HELLUVA STORY about a teenage lake house break-in that turns into a horror movie, Mocha getting way too excited about filling out the census, and the crew losing it over a viral horse fart.

Meelz, LJ, and AD are back this week to continue their recap of One Piece's Punk Hazard. They kick things off talking about: Pokemon and exclusivity, RIP to Ted Tuner – The Godfather of Cartoons, The One Piece, and more. Getting into Punk Hazard, they pick up with the massive faceoffs in the series including Zoro & Tashigi vs. Monet, Law & Smoker vs. Vergo, Mocha vs. Other Babies, Buffalo & Baby 5 vs. Super Mecha Franky, and Luffy vs. Caesar. Also the oncoming threat of Doflamingo is on the way.

Would you rather add an extra zero to your lifespan or your salary? Who do you really think wins more arguments in your relationship, and how different would your life look if your spouse didn't exist? Roz and Mocha tackle big “what if” questions, awkward truths, and ridiculous debates—from being dropped into a country with no English or technology, to cringing at the terrible ideas they wanted as teenagers, to the surprisingly heated discussion of whether you reuse the same drinking glass all day
