Ross and Mocha's Fixed My Life

What advice do you guys give me?

Okay, so my question is

My question is

Got a problem you can't fix?

Ross and Mocha got you

Andrea, hello!

It's your boyfriend's Ross and Mocha

Hi!

What's going on girl?

Why you on FML?

How do I deal with a toxic relationship with my siblings?

Oh!

Andrea, you were to say

Hey Ross and Mocha, fix my life

My sister's the type of person

You either agree with

Or you get your head bit enough

When she lashes out

Or she goes for low blows

And if you don't apologize

She goes lower

I can't just cut her out

Because she's my sister

But I don't know how to have a relationship with her

That's just all surface level

How old are you guys?

I'm 27 and she's 32

Has your relationship been this way?

Like forever?

Or did something happen

Over the course of time to cause a strain?

No, it's been pretty much this way forever

Have you ever had a great relationship

Other than when you were little kids?

No

No

I thought with age it would get better

Yeah, sometimes it doesn't

Yeah

I have, I know a lot of people

And have known a lot of people

Where their entire relationships

And adult life with their siblings

Is very surface level

Maybe get the cousins together

Phone call over the holidays

A text on your birthday

And that's the dynamic

It's unfortunate

And I feel terrible for your parents first of all

Because no parent thinks

That when they have two kids

Especially sisters

That they aren't going to be best friends forever

No parent dreams of having two kids

Who barely talk to each other in their late 20s

Nope, no parent dreams of that

But people grow and they are different

And sometimes you don't have those relationships

Like I look at my relationship with my brother

And it's weird to some people

That we have the relationship

And I've had the relationship that we do

But sometimes it doesn't work out

And if you can't pinpoint something

With your sister that would fix all this

Like to try and go back and make good

On something that happened

Or was there, as Moka said

Was there a moment where it all went to hell?

If you can't put your finger on this

And you're looking to just build a whole brand new relationship with her now

And your late 20s and early 30s

I don't think it's going to happen

No, no, no, no

Do you guys live under the same roof?

No

We live quite far away from each other too

And I think that's kind of the point

Okay, can you give us an example, Andrea, of like

The last time something happened and she blew up

Yeah, it was last year at Easter

And we were all sitting down

And she was complaining about having to commute

And to Toronto for work

And my parents and I gently suggested

We were like, well, look for a new job

And then she just exploded of how could you do that

And I'm happy where I am

But you're not

Yeah, she said that directly to you

Or to your parents as well

My parents as well

Oh, so maybe she's like going through stuff

Or she's just like not happy where she is in life right now

She always been that way

And she's like taking it out of people

She blows up

Oh, okay, okay

You have an opinion that doesn't agree with her

And she's just like, I'm offended

Yeah, all right

So what would you like to happen with this relationship?

Just to avoid fights like completely

Or just be cordial around each other

I guess I'm really asking like

Do you guys have advice for how do I go to Christmas?

How do I go for Easter?

How do I go for birthdays and just be chill?

Have you had a conversation with her?

Oh, that would not go well, Mocha

Oh, okay

Yeah

So I think that if you want to go and just be chill

I think it's I think it's up to you

And there's nothing wrong with ignoring somebody

First of all, right?

Yeah

There's nothing wrong with in a moment

Removing yourself from a situation

Without you also blowing up and making a big show of it

Right?

Yeah

And if you can't say to your sister

And I don't mean have this conversation after a fight

Because this is the worst time

But in a neutral moment

If you can't say to your sister

Hey, listen, you know, we we have a

Pretty what I would describe as toxic relationship

I'm not looking for your feedback at this point

But I feel it and I don't feel good

Oftentimes after hanging out

And that really breaks my heart

Because you are my sister and I do love you

So just know from me

I will I need to avoid that sort of thing

I need to avoid fighting with you

One, because it's pointless

And two, it kind of breaks my heart

So I just need you to know

That going into family functions and stuff like this

I'm not off

I'm not mad at you

I'm not anything

I'm just avoiding the things that make me feel

Not good

And I think that if you could say that to her

In a moment that is neutral

And not right after a fight

You know, maybe she gets it

It's probably going to piss her off

But she'll get why you're acting the way you are the next time

Yeah

I like that

And you can even say

Like we don't want mom and dad to feel awkward

Or to get upset or feel sad

About us fighting in front of them

Especially around the holidays

Whether it's Easter or Christmas or whatever

And then all those lines that Rosas gave you

I could do that

All right

And then just ask her to stop being such a crusty b****

I don't know if I'm like that

I'm like that

Yeah, Andrea knows

All right, you got some options there, Andrea

All the best

Well, thanks so much guys

Ros and Mokas, fix my life

What advice do you guys give me?

Okay, so my question is

You got a problem you can't fix

Ros and Mokas got you

Hello, Tracy, it's Rosamoka

Hi

All right, girl, let's get right to it

FML, why are you here?

Okay, so how do I keep it together

When the kids are running the school?

Wow, Tracy, you're all the same

Hey, Rosamoka, fix my life

I work in a high school in Toronto

The system is so awful

Kids get away with so much now

Lack of discipline from the administrators

Lack of accountability with the teachers

These kids are getting away with too much

It's so frustrating

How do I maintain my sanity?

Myself and my two partners are at our wits

And give us some examples of what it's like

Like the things that you're talking about here

Okay, so we're school-based safety monitors

So we're like in the halls walking around

Making sure everyone's in class

And it's like a constant struggle

And don't get me wrong

Not every kid is awful

There's good kids that make bad choices

So there's this constant like hall wanders

And you know, kids just

They should be held accountable for

And they should be there should be some kind of discipline

And nothing is happening

It has to be really extreme

Like it has to be you know like a fight

Or you know, something really extreme

For a suspension to even happen these days

And they know that

The kids know that right?

Absolutely

So they just push it to the limit to

The point where they know

Any further results in punishment?

Yeah, exactly

And it's like when kids stop

Knowing or fearing consequences

The chaos replaces that

And this carries over too

Because you know, you look at the way that

Crime is even handled when

You know, not even in the school system

But when you're talking about adults

There's no fear

You do something

You do something

Even if you do get picked up by the cops

You're out that day

And for some pretty horrific things

You're out that day

So this is across the board

And what are you like

What tools do you guys have

Because I've been at a high school for so long now

I don't know what what tools teachers

Or educators even have

When it does come to discipline

Or whatever like

Can you make a kid go stand in the hall

These days or no

Well, they can

They could say, you know, can you just

And I've had exactly that happen

I've gotten called to a class

Because the teacher said, well, little

I don't know, little Johnny

Disappeared

Because I told him to wait in the hall

Because they're giving their lessons

And I've told him to wait in the hall

And I'll talk to him in a minute

Because whatever he was doing in the class

And he just leaves, he disappears

Yeah, not in a way around

What does a principal say about everything?

Not too much

And the vice principals and the principals

Are very, they always

They make it seem like they're hand or tied

And it's coming from up above

And they can't really do anything

But are there hands tied?

Because I know

Dealing with situations like this

As an educator

Could go

South very quickly

Yes, yes, absolutely

And it's just like even with words

That are being used

Could be taken way out of context

Well, and I think that's the problem

These did this day too

Like everybody's

So afraid to say anything or do anything

In for fear of, you know, getting

Hall in front of the union

Or losing their job

Or, you know what I mean

I don't want to, I don't want to

He's got problems at home

So we better treat him with

Kid gloves

Like, that's why

It's just such a cycle

It's so

That's why I'm like, I don't know what to do

How do I keep it together

Teachers across this country too

You guys got real union problems

Oh, big time

And

There was one story that came out

Where it was like two or three teachers

Maybe three teachers

They wrote this sort of open letter

Talking about what

What an actual day was like

In the high school that they worked at

And it was mayhem

It was absolute mayhem

Fighting in the bathrooms

Not even being able to close the doors

And the stalls because somebody

Felt like they were going to get a salted

Like it was these these schools were

Crazy and it was so jaw dropping

To read the accounts from these teachers

And the union's response was

Not how do we fix this

But how do we find the person who leaked this

Yep, yep, yep, right

Exactly

And so when you're dealing with that

When there's no accountability

But there's no accountability

All the way up

I don't know like for me as a parent

I would want to know

And I and I think that you doing

What you're doing today with us

Is probably a good first step

Because the only way this kind of stuff changes

Is when it is no longer

An option to try and keep this stuff quiet

Yeah, yes

Exactly

I have such a big voice

But sometimes exactly like I just said

Like I

I'm not afraid to say it

Like I'm not afraid to get myself in trouble

Because I'm like

Bring it like this needs to be brought to the forefront

But it's like yeah, it's just really hard

Like if you go to higher up then

Like if you go to your school board

Like what do they say or what would they say

Talk to your principal about it

Probably yeah

And if I went to the union

Like if I went to my union

They would probably just say

Okay, we could set up a meeting with the principal

Which

The outcome of that is not going to be

It's probably not going to be anything

Because our union again is

They're sometimes helpful not often

But the other part too

Sorry, I meant to mention

This is it is parent accountable

Because Ros, when you just said as a parent

I'm a parent of a 15 year old as well

And some of the things that happen

Or like what did you call his mom

And they're like well, no

I'm like

What

Like as a parent

If you if the school didn't call me

I would be in that school

In my daughter's school

In a heart beat

Like why didn't you call me

I think though that

If you're looking for advice

I think that what you're doing right now

Is probably the only tool that you have

Because the the school is not going to help

The union is not going to help

And you as an individual can't do anything

I think that the only way that things change

Is when the parents become

Very aware of what is going on

In those schools

And the parents make it impossible

For the union and the administrators

To to pretend it doesn't exist

I've often thought about going to like

Parent Council meetings

And being like listen

This is you know

Can you guys help with this?

There we go

What we

In our faces

Yes

Yes

That's happening

Why not

You got to look at parents and say

This is what we out from you

Does that help a little bit Tracy?

Yeah a little bit

Yeah thank you so much guys

All right

Thank you for listening

Have a great day

Yeah

Okay thank

Ross and Moga's Fix My Life on KISS

Ross and Moga's Fix My Life

What advice do you guys give me?

Okay so my question is

My question is

Got a problem you can't fix?

Ross and Moga got you

Amy

Hello

Welcome to Ross and Moga's Fix My Life

Please share with everyone across the country

Why you were here today

How do you deal with feeling in over your head

When the doors have anything opened

Oh my gosh

Amy you wrote us this

Hey Ross and Moga fix my life

I was hired as a store manager

But ended up doing the entire store

Launch alone

Fenders pricing marketing displays

Everything I flagged health and safety issues

That were ignored

And now the new board is delaying our opening

Over those same concerns

I've already ordered produce

And scheduled staff

And the new CEO just gave me a

$50,000 runway

I'm not sure is realistic

I feel totally in over my head

Okay so explain

What kind of store is this

You don't have to say the name

It's a farm market

It's a farm market

Okay

And so you got hired to do something

They wound up giving you all the jobs

And now what

There's a risk of them not opening

And you feel that you're going to be blamed for it

Yeah so

I did meet with the CEO

And basically he said that

In his experience

These type of mentors don't make a whole lot of money

And he doesn't want to lose money

And I was told

They're thinking of just opening

To sell the product that we already have

And not restocking

Oh that does sound like a smart business plan

Have you talked to them about staffing issues

And the help that you need

Like have you outlined

Everything that you kind of

Said to us vendors pricing marketing displays

Ordering of produce

Scheduling staff

All that and like kind of detail it to them

Here's where I need help

Here are the days

Here's how many hours it's going to take

For us to get to launch date

And to be successful

I did raise those concerns to them

But like I have been in management positions

Before at previous jobs

But basically it's just like the frontman

Because we always had a team like

Finance and accounting

So Amy let me get let me get this straight

So it's a like a farmer's market kind of thing

But it seems like it's a pretty decent size company

That you work for overall

And they've tasked you with

Opening up this particular location

And the way that it's looking right now

The people before you've opened

The people above you don't see it as being

Viable

So their plan is now to pivot

And sell off when you do open

The inventory that is there

And to just not restock it

And then shutter the whole thing

Soon after that right

Yeah

Okay, so why are you still there

That's the thing too

I don't know what else

I would do

It doesn't sound like you

Job security is the thing

Like what if they let you go as soon as this opening happens

Why are you why are you still there

And why are you not looking for a new job

How long have you been working for these people

Like six months

Okay, why are you still there

They don't have this stuff together

Yeah

And they don't even feel confident

In their own

Launch or product or whatever

Or like in their own company

You don't even need to put this on your resume

Uh-oh

Yeah, this is a blip in your

Like if somebody is setting you up to fail

And you've only worked for them for six months

It's not going to get better than that for you

This right now is as good as it's going to get

Because guess what

When that opening is delayed

And failure after failure keeps happening

They're going to look at who is responsible for the opening

Who is responsible for getting in touch with vendors

And the pricing and marketing

And ordering all this stuff

And the only name at the top of that list

Is going to be your name

And they're going to say what the hell Amy

How could you screw this up

Yeah

Um

Another thing when I did meet with the CEO

He was saying

He didn't like how the original business plan

Looked

And I didn't say it to him

But I could kind of tell like chat GPT

How'd a lot to do with it

Okay, but why not ask

Well, what's a new business plan

Like you're the CEO

Who do I talk to to get the new business plan

So I can get caught up to speed

Or is he looking to you to create the new business plan

Oh, I did get sent a new

Um

Budget review

And I was I'm trying to get clarification

On what actually comes out of the runway money

And nobody's giving me like

What does what does runway money mean

For anybody who doesn't know what that means

At the money that I'm allowed to spend

On inventory on staff

Everything basically for how long

And it's the

However long it lasts

Amy this company they don't even sound like

They know what's going on or what they're doing

This is all bad all around

I think and I think rozer degree

You need to get out of there

Yeah, yeah pride doesn't factor into this

You know what I mean?

They're they're not pushing you to win

They're not putting you in a position to succeed

They're looking at the reality going okay

Well, we're we're in this deep already

So what can we do?

We can open the

Market sell off what we have

We got 50 grand

Let's see what we can recoup when that 50 grand runs out

We're not restock in the shelves and we're going to just

Shutter the whole thing

Thank you very much Amy

Why would you put yourself in that position

I guess

Pride factor do not let pride factor into this

You you can be you can be proud

But you have to understand like

You're not being put in a position to succeed

that people who are above you know you're going to fail and they're just waiting for it to happen.

So you need to quit before you get fired because you're going to get blamed for this.

Yeah, I don't even, you've been there six months. Write your resignation letter today. Go and

find work. I mean, unless you, unless you want to see this through and look for work while it's

going on. So at least you're not out money in the, in the in between. But this is, this is,

this is not a sustainable, this is not a sustainable future. Yeah. Stop, stop being so emotional

about it, right? Then get to work on getting out of there, right? And it, but if you could,

if you think that you can, you know, pivot and find something, you know, in your future, then don't

quit now. Just wait till you have something secured. Just so you're not out of anywhere, just

so you're not out of any money. And don't and do not in any way feel bad about leaving them hanging.

They did this to themselves. You didn't do this to them. Yeah, the, the job market is so bad.

It is, it isn't really terrible. It is terrible. So take your time, but you need to get out of there.

Okay. All right. All right. All the best. We'll check in with you in the next couple of months

and see how things worked out. Okay. All right. Love you, girl. Bye.

All right. Thank you. Love you, guys.

Ross and Mokas fixed my life. What advice do you guys give me? Okay. So my question is,

my question is, you got a problem. You can't fix. Ross and Mokie got you.

Yes, Abby. What's up? It's Ross and Moka. What's up, guys? What's going on? Why on

FML today? If the spark is gone, how do you get the trill spec? If the spark is gone, how do you

get the trill back? Damn, you wrote us this. Hey, Ross and Mokas fixed my life. How do I find

the motivation to continue watching? Oh, how do I find the motivation to continue watching

WWE? Now that my favorite wrestler, John Cena has retired. I've not watched a single show since

December 13th, 2025. And with Russell Manier right around the corner, I need your help.

You're are you trolling, man? Because you know, I'm a big wrestling fan. I'm a big wrestling fan

too, man. So it is just like serious things. So you lost your spark for WWE, right?

That's right. No, it's just like when Shawn Michaels lost a smile and give him the title back in

the day. So what happened? Talk us through this. John Cena was your favorite wrestler and then

he retired and you had just built up all this emotion, everything else that now it just doesn't feel

right? Yeah, it's not just that it doesn't feel right, man. There's no motivation anymore.

Like when John Cena left a few years ago to show the movies, like even for that couple of years,

I did not watch anything. I did not even go to any shows. So you are a John Cena fan more than you

are a wrestling fan. Yeah, I would say that, but like I like old school wrestlers like John

doing the era of John Cena Randy Yard and CM Punk, you know, okay. So listen, man, why don't you just,

I don't know, go on YouTube and watch all the classic stuff. Like don't worry about any of the

new stuff that's happening, although some of the new stuff is, you're not missing much. It's

kind of ass right now. I know, like I got back into wrestling when I heard you guys talking about

Cody Rhodes as a storyline and how good that was. And so I was hoping you had some more like winters

or motivations or something to give you back in. I sort of felt the way you do about wrestling

at the, with Marvel when, when Endgame finished and that was the end of it, I was done. That was it

for me. It was like a perfect ending. And I haven't got on any of the new things since. Yeah,

I just, I have no, like to me, that was the, that was the end. It was everything that I was

emotionally attached to. If it continues on without me, it continues on without me. Like the

post endgame movies, I would say that really delivered at that same level. At least for me,

I enjoyed all the Spider-Man movies. I didn't see them. I enjoyed the, the third Guardians of

the Galaxy. I did see that. I did not like that Deadpool Wolverine. I enjoyed. There's only

like a handful of movies that I, but I lost my spark. I'm like, Avi, I lost, I lost my spark.

Oh, you're like Shawn Michaels. You're like, you're right. I lost my smile. Is there, is there

any way that you think that you like, like do you almost feel if you are rooting for a new wrestler

that it would somehow be a betrayal to John Cena? Oh, not, not at all, not at all. Okay. I just need

that new wrestler. Like, see I'm punk with my guy too, but like him versus Roman Reigns is not even

like a proper storyline. Okay. Okay. So you do know what's going on? Yeah. I see it on socials. And

here you will talk about it and show them. Is there, is there any way that you could decide on who

your new favorite wrestler, like the guy you're going to cheer for on with us right now? Yes.

We can do that. Okay. Who do you think, who do you, who do you, and nobody's asking you to love

a guy the same way you love John Cena, right? Nobody's asking for that. That's impossible.

But if there was somebody that that you feel could maybe drag you back into the world of WWE,

who is that wrestler? I'm think it'll have to be the OTC Roman Reigns. Oh, there you go. Yo,

what about frigging J who's so yeet? He's fun. He's so worried. Hey, I don't know if you saw

Monday Night Raw, but things like I guess they went off script between CM Punk and Roman Reigns

and CM on YouTube. Oh, see, see what's going on. Anyway, CM Punk said to Roman Reigns,

because they're fighting at WrestleMania and Roman Reigns' father passed away recently,

right? Yeah. And CM Punk said, I'm going to bury you right next to your dad. Oh, damn. Yeah.

Now I'm going to bury you and then you won't be all alone anymore, because I'm going to bury you

next to your father. Wow. Yeah, no, no, no. That was like off script. Yeah. And Triple H,

who's the big boss over there, wasn't happy. Yeah. Interesting. So yeah, there you go. You got to go.

No, no. So you got your guy. Go cheer for Roman Reigns. Go enjoy the two-night

WrestleMania next month, man. Yeah, I will do things, guys. All right, man.
