Facebook "Icks" And Grinder's Unwrapped 2025

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!

    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.
