Zoë did a “Guess Where” trip - and they sound SO FUN! You buy a getaway for you (or for someone else) and you set out for the adventure without being 100% certain about WHERE your destination is!
Sounds like a very fun gift! Bluesfest is wrapping up, John is laughing at those who think Angine de Poitrine are recruiting people to worship the devil.  FYI… That’s actually a thing in the comments on social media.  They’re quirky, and interesting, and certainly creating a lot of conversation!  We’re thrilled that The Guess Who are still rockin’ and closing things out.  40,000 people were there to see Ella Langly, who, is clearly someone one of us (hi John) hasn’t been paying close enough attention to. Brooke Henderson’s LPGA performance last weekend was incredible - you better believe we acknowledge that this week. John was all excited to see our beloved Ottawa comedian Lauren Lane getting her own Netflix special… Only to find out that… No. For the record she 100% should have her own Netflix special!  Get out and see LOCAL comedy shows.  They’re THAT good! Plus… We always want to keep mental health at the forefront of our conversations, and this week we discuss the impact of an audience telling you about the moments they connect with you.  Human connections are SO important. And, we’re back with This Or That And Why… Is a cabin getaway more appealing than a resort?  Is frozen yogurt better than a snow cone?  Would you give up sunglasses or flip flops? We’re online at www.zmshow.com and heard on CJRO FM in Ottawa and on www.BlastTheRadio.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey it's Zoë and Milky... Just wondering if there was any good news in the city of Ottawa this week. Alfie signed with the Leafs... The Canada Day fireworks were finally set off, with no notice, The Charge are moving to CTC and the "it's just too far" crowd are killing the buzz, long lines to get to and from Bluesfest on the LRT again - and on top of it all, John can't find a basic bottle opener. This write-up sounds a lot less fun than our conversation actually is! www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Zoë & Milky... ZM! Thanks to all for being so kind to Zoë last week. Your thoughts and love are so appreciated! At the end of last week's show though, she did mention something about her house being broken into.... On top of everything else she's been dealing with. We were like, "Wait. What???" Today, we get the full story - a stranger in her home, 5 in the morning, the fear, the confusion... Also - the floods in Ottawa following another massive storm - We talk insurance and the city's role, and how people DO come together in events like this. Zoë's mom is one of those dealing with the cleanup. And, as it turns out, Milky never shared the story of how he almost burned down his entire kitchen just a few weeks ago. Plus - the Redblacks and the CFL. Milky's done with it all, but Zoë is seeing a few things that she really likes! This is ZM...

Hey! It's Zoë and Milky! Yes, we've been away for a few weeks, and, as you'll hear on this edition of the ZM Podcast, it was so that Zoë could deal with the loss of her longtime love, the man we affectionately referred to here as "Mr. Handsome." We extend or most sincere condolences to his loving family and friends and are so sorry for your loss. This conversation is about loss, about mental health, about love, about trying to do what's best for the people who matter most to you. We hope it offers you hope and comfort as well. Especially if you are going through a mental health crisis yourself, or are watching someone you love go through it. We are committed to making this topic a central part of what we do going forward. Please - if you, or someone you know is struggling call or text 988. Other resources are available to you as well at 211. ZM Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey! It's ZM! Today we talk to Mrs. Roper about her and 300 other Mrs. Ropers - and you should be one of them - who will be on board for an evening cruise on the Ottawa River July 24th for a girls night of dancing, drinks and dressing like the 70s TV icon! Get your tickets at www.girltrips.ca Also this week - Zoë talks more about her gig as your in-house co-host at Ottawa Blackjacks games, Tim's has plain Timbits back (Milky believes he and you played a roll in that) and why can't people just be happy for others? www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A ridiculously fun conversation this week - Milky bought a new car, and that meant having to deal with rush hour traffic for the first time in years, and the nightmare of being on hold.  97 minutes is a LONG TIME! Zoë has HUGE news about a new job with a local sports team! The Ottawa Charge are (as we record this) 1 win away for advancing in the PWHL playoffs, we’re excited to see the Titans sell out - and again on Mother’s Day!  Zoë was at the home opener and didn’t have too bad of an experience taking the LRT!  It wasn’t completely without issues though.  Of course. We have some fun with the word “kilometres.”  How do you pronounce it? It’s spring, so that means tulips and dog poop bags in the trees at the dog park. Plus we talk McHappy Day and Tim’s Smile Cookies and… ICE CREAM! www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey it's Zoë & Milky... Today on ZM we get into the disastrous playoffs for the Sens (and the captain in particular), plus the Ottawa Charge who are still in it! Also today, a sell out for the hope opener of the Ottawa Titans, the return of Lady Dive and Poutinefest too! And, yes, shower beer. Do you drink in the shower? Is Zoë alone on this? The entire conversation started when Milky discussed an article that says people don't face the right way in the shower! Also, and Ottawa woman has a very unique cleaning business. Someone has to clean up a crime scene, right? (TikTok: @emmaemdecon) New summer drinks coming to McDonald's, a dog that does gardening, the Seagull Sc-reaching Championships, Taylor Swift may have planted another Easter Egg and her fans picked right up on it... We hope you love our conversation today! No politics, just fun banter about things that are current, cringey, crazy, comedic and cool in the Capital and beyond! www.zmshow.com Brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast.

Should a company be required to reveal to you that you are talking to / chatting with an Ai before you disclose information? We discuss this today, after John's wild experience following an inquiry he sent to a car dealer about a vehicle. The Ai even knew he was on the radio and used it to butter him up. We asked you, and your feelings on it do not align with the dealership's belief that customers love it. Plus - we're cheering on the Ottawa Charge and the Sens and introduce you to a pretty unique new hot spot in Ottawa - especially if you're someone who appreciates food, cocktails, music and incredible audio! We also look to the future of the Byward Market. It's an uncomfortable place for many to be now... Will things like the new HISTORY OTTAWA club bring life back to that area? She's Zoë! He's Milky...

Hey it's Zoë & Milky... Last night we were among the 17,000 who saw the Ottawa Charge at Canadian Tire Centre - our second time going to a game - and today we tell you why you HAVE to go see them in action! It's pretty special.Z Also today - the closing of Kelly's Landing, and absolute fixture in Ottawa for so many years, we wish the owners so much happiness in retirement, but it's sad to see it go.

Today Zoé And Milky discuss Zoë's night at the Laugh For The Cure event! Plus she also went (willingly) to karaoke and the Bytown Theatre! We also try to figure out what the artistic angle was to Mayor Sutcliffe's recent "good morning Ottawa" photo. They do say great art gets people talking. Also - HUGE news this week for Ottawa entertainment as HISTORY gets set to open in the old Chapters location at Rideau and Sussex. Wallflowers and Pretty Reckless are among the names announced for it's first month of shows! We're beyond excited, and the cost of tickets isn't too bad! Speaking of reasonable... A Jays game for a family of four is under $300. We also tell you about the new 9-9-9 challenge happening at many MLB parks this season. Zoë says she could do it. Milky says there is no chance he could. Could you? Milky misses his longtime jeweler and turns to you for advice on a great, local, independent place to get a diamond replaced in a ring. Plus - the return of the "Walkman!" We hope you still have some of your cassettes! Celebrity stuff this week includes raunchy texts being sent to Sabrina Carpenter. People say it's Shaq. He says it's not. We think we know who it could be! News nuggets on this episode include the UFC steps up to help BC school shooting victim and we're now officially huge UFC fans because of it! And we're putting together the ultimate fast food meal!

How done with winter are you? We're so over it! As we sat down to record this episode, Environment Canada issued another Special Weather Statement about another snow dump on the way. But we both had fun weeks! Zoë got to see the Sens AND got a puck! And Milky is going to try the much talked about Spyce Girlz spices! Zoë got carded... We wonder why people get upset about that, and about when they're offered the senior's discount? TAKE IT!

Hey! It's Zoë & Milky back with more conversations covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringey in Canada's Capital and beyond! Today, we talk about the PWHL's Ottawa Charge who are said to be in talks with the Ottawa Senators about moving to Canadian Tire Centre... And we discuss the embarrassing home game this week where Montreal Canadienne fans overwhelmed our arena and then trolled us online calling it Montreal's other home. And, they're not wrong. Plus - inspired by Alan Doyle's visit to Ottawa (and other cities on his current tour) we asked you what he's been asking his followers - where's the best place in Ottawa to get a cup of coffee with a friend? Milky had no idea we had this many coffee shops, let alone great ones! Zoë, meanwhile, feels she lives in Ottawa's "coffee district" also known as Hintonburgh! And yes, we'll reveal the top vote getter! News Nuggets this week include - a women being told to take the surgical screws out of her head herself, snake yoga, never trust your kids with your phone, and churning butter while jogging.

Today Zoë and I kinda fall backwards into a conversation about Ottawa and it's reputation as being a city that is in denial about all things sexy. It wasn't that long ago that Ashley Madison ranked us as the #1 city in North America for affairs. There were several swinger clubs with street front signage. With Ashley Madison re-branding, and with new stats that show more and more couples are in open relationships we couldn't help but wonder why Ottawa seems to portray itself as somewhere that adult fun not only can't exist, but doesn't exist. Also this week, we hear about a 4 eared cat who the internet has fallen in love with, a grandfather made headlines this week after his hilarious license plate was taken away, and the cottage used in Heated Rivalry is now available on Air BnB! Zoë's got some thoughts on Brady Tkachuk following the games in Italy, plus - police are now using drones to catch people who continue to drive with their phones in their hands. We wonder WHY people still do this? Connecting to your car is easier, safer, and legal. And John speaks for the first time about the loss of his friend Lowell Green. Lowell's last shows were co-hosted by John on the internet radio platform he launched. And, as promised, here's the link to a BuzzFeed page you should bookmark for when you need a feel good story: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/arsheenkaur44/wholesome-internet-posts-february-23&ved=2ahUKEwiD1Lqa-_ySAxUkxuYEHT9kITkQFnoECBoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0OSJjYJqcwq4RlwsZPUWev We're online at www.zmshow.com Brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast.
