The Milkman Show

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. We talk chip trucks too, and have a question about soda choices. We'll get you caught up on Celebrity Stuff including Taylor Swift, Megan Thee Stallion, Sydney Sweeney, Céline Dion's comeback, our first time hearing RUSH with Anika Nilles on drums and more! Montreal is always worth a road trip - but rotisserie chicken may be another reason to go... And Google is now letting you change your gmail address. And on This Or That And Why... is white chocolate even chocolate??? www.zmshow.com Brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! What chain are you going to for each of the following - a burger, a chicken sandwich, fries and a drink? www.zmshow.com is us online - brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast.

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! Also this week: Celebrity Stuff - Val Kilmer set to star in new movie thanks so Ai - Carly Rae Jepson's a mom now - Jay Z is now Jaÿ Z - and Chuck Norris passed away. Duh Of The Day - Zoë awards our FISHY Award to the most D'uh of Three D'uh's Of The Week News Nuggets - Punch The Monkey has a girlfriend - BYOB To Events This Summer - Tired Of Tipping?

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. In Celebrity Stuff - What's in the Oscar "loot bags?" Plus, Pussycat Dolls are back, the BS celebrities put up with from fans and when enough is enough, Dakota Johnson bares it all and Drew Barrymore's show signs on for 2 more years! And, it's a spring themed round of This Or That And Why! www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And the debate is on... Why do so many people hate daylight saving time? Are you team Zoë or team Milky on this one? Also this week... TikTok phenoms Leroy & Leroy visited Ottawa We used Ticketmaster and it really is a disaster The safest and least safe cities to drive in, in Ontario (the answers will likely surprise you!) Spice Girls vs. Spyce Girlz - an Ottawa entrepreneur finds herself in quite the mess Ontario man arrested in Vegas for doing WHAT to a Flamingo? Why Thin Mints are better from the freezer (who knew!?!?!?) More bad and sad news for Britney Spears Harry Styles shirtless And on This Or That And Why... We ask, would you rather a Shamrock Shake or Green Beer? Irish Stew or Lucky Charms? Think of it as your on-line neighbourhood café - where you listen in on conversations covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringey in Canada's Capital and beyond! www.zmshow.com brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast.

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.

It's Valentine's Day, and Ottawa comedian Lauren Lane, a rising star in Canadian Comedy, is producing an all female standup show at Ottawa's Laff Lounge! She tells us about the show, gives some insight into the hard work and dedication that goes into standup, and invites you to the countless, incredible comedy shows and open mics that happen in our city most nights of the week! She also shares a fun story of how she kinda kicked the "Night Mayor's" ass when he left comedy off of the list of fun things to do in the Nation's Capital! Plus... We get into some of the nuttier stories from this past week with our News Nuggets, including pet names that people hate. How did "Bae" become a thing, and why "Daddy" is NOT ok with many of us. And we ask... If someone you knew were to look inside your car, would you be embarrassed? Why? What's in there that you don't want people to see? Plus, F Bomb at the curling in Italy, and our thoughts on Canada's performance at the Olympics so far... And The Ottawa Charge are heading back to Canadian Tire Centre. We're going!!! You should join us! Every week we cover what's current, cool, comedic and cringy in Canada's Capital and beyond! www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey it's Zoë & Milky (or as we discover this week, Zoë prefers Zo-ayyyyyyy) What a fun conversation! We wonder who in the world thought to name a day in FEBRUARY as "work naked day" - clearly they can't be Canadian. We also discuss Shower With Friends Day which was also this past week. We loved watching Kylie and Jason Kelce learning to curl on TikTok this week, and that leads to a conversation about which rink in Ottawa is the best for curlers... And for showering with friends. We introduce you to a 90 year old Instagram star from New Brunswick, take on the Tate McRae controversy, and learn why Elmo is pissed at Taylor Swift. Wait... .What???? We loved the opening ceremonies at the Olympics and run down some of the new events you'll see this year, and we discuss the NFL championship game (not allowed to use the S name apparently) and determine that the team in blue will win. haha... We also look at some of the silliest things you can actually bet on as it pertains to the game. Our conversations are always a lot of fun, unrehearsed and, frankly, just two unhinged dumb dumbs set loose on the internet! We're so glad you chose us to keep you company! www.zmshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week - You just never know what kids will say, including one 5 year old who told his teacher that Mommy makes videos in her bedroom. Except it's not what you think. It's pretty cute, actually. We look at some of the items being offered on Gwenyth Paltrow's Goop Guide for Valentine's day. THAT's always a good laugh! A Reddit thread caught our eye this week - reasons you chose to NOT hire someone. OMG people can be stupid! This week's Celebrity Stuff includes news that David Letterman is returning to Canada after almost 50 years, Martin Short did a bad, bad thing at Selena Gomez's wedding, and fans in Russia are risking jail to see Heated Rivalry. Just how hot IS that show?!?! And, OMG we can't wait to see the new Canada Shore Show which is shot in Kelowna BC! ... Speaking of, that city is home to our Doozie Of A D'uh Of The Day winner this week! Thanks for choosing us to keep you company on your commute, while you work out or walk the dog!

Hey! It's Zoë & Milky - Covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringy in Canada's Capital and beyond! We have a fun story this week featuring predictions they made in the 50s about what life would be like today. Some of them are pretty hilarious! Plus - The 2025 list of things people put in their butts is out! That got quite the reaction from our live audience Haha! Also this week - Ottawa's Capital Ribfest has a new home, NCC warning people not to ski jump across the Rideau Canal, and a dog is ok after chewing electric gloves and starting a fire.

Happy new year from ZM! Zoë & Milky! We’re covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringy in the Capital and beyond! Another fun conversation this week as we get into why nobody in Ottawa seems to ever know what direction they’re going. Do you know which way is east? Or West? Or North? Or South? We also talk about another driver being pulled over without insurance.  Add that to more than $27,000 in unpaid fines they already have. In the GOOD NEWS department, it appears the end is near for the 6-7 craze, plus this year’s top Ai prompts people loved, and how Ai has failed us recently, world records that were broken in 2025 and Tim’s has revealed their top treats of the past year!  That got us onto the topic of fast food and Zoë wondering why her Big Macs always look like they lost a wrestling match. Meanwhile Milky has found the only place in Canada that seems to know how to do a Whopper right! We talk fashion, since Zoë slayed with her new year’s outfit!  Plus, are weight loss drugs worth it?  Milky’s considering it. And then there’s the entire unfortunate incident of a bird and Zoë’s car. Looking for some great conversation during your walk, or a long drive? Hi! We’re ZM! www.zmshow.com - brought to you by www.mccarthyautomotive.ca Hosted on Acast.

ZM year end podcast recorded live today at Hometown Sports Grill! Our special guest is Andre M Proulx from BlastTheRadio.com We get caught up after Christmas - Andre got skates, Zoë got new skis! We talk skating hot spots and the love of downhill skiing and ask, if there was a skating track on Sparks Street, would you use it? And we look forward to New Year's Eve and wonder why doesn't Ottawa, and Canada for that matter, have a huge new year’s celebration? Why do we always have to tune into the ball drop in New York City? And while we're on the topic, are people even going lit anymore? Andre has spent many years producing shows and dj'ing at clubs. He offers his perspective. We had some cool drinks at Hometown while this conversation took place, we hope you'll pour something that you enjoy while spending a little time with us today! Brought to you by McCarthy Automotive!

It's ZM! Zoë & Milky! Covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringy in the Capital and beyond! This week we discuss road construction in Ottawa. Why the hell does it take so long? Do you ever seen anybody working? Also... The Ottawa Senators made a marketing boo boo after the Chicago game and recovered from it magnificently! We'll keep you laughing with a new game we play called Sound It Out - where we take 3 or 4 individual words, and you have to figure out what the sentence is that, when put together, they create! And, thanks to a HUGE response on Facebook, we get into the things people do on Facebook that give you the "ick." OMG there are soooo many things! And yes, we include the new Ai Christmas portraits that suddenly popped up this week! Plus Gridr's Unwrapped for 2025 is glorious, women consumed a lot of naughty things on Pornhub this year, the most annoying songs of 2025, and our Dooziest D'uh Of The Week and more! Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays from ZM! Our listener numbers continue to grow and that's thanks to you! We're grateful! ZM www.zmshow.com zoemilkman@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Hey it's ZM! This week we get into some super fun talks about everything from trying to wrap oddly shaped items, to holiday traditions we'd be ok with saying goodbye to. We hope that will include Elf On The Shelf. How did THAT become a thing anyway??? Are you having any luck with Ai? Milky hates it and says it's not making things easier at all. Zoë, on the other hand, is using it successfully. Is this a generational thing? This year's viral TikTok food hack involves vanilla ice cream and a little something from the LCBO. We wonder, would YOU try it? Not sure we would. Also viral this week is an insane video of a skydiver in Australia who gets his chute caught on the plane. See it for yourself here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7GTyg4R390 Plus: Christmas songs that are proven to stress your dog out. Secret Santa requires apps now??? And an Amazon wish list? Celebrity Stuff including this year's winner of BEST BULGE! Our D'UH Of The Week Award goes to.... And bonus content for our podcast listeners (our radio audience didn't get to hear these) including This Or That And Why, should we start our own awards show, and dog poop...
