## Resource

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.
