Game Time Tuesday

Game Time Tuesday!

Good Afternoon! I hope you’re having a great Tuesday afternoon! 2017 is getting into full swing and Eddie and I had an awesome show for you today!

RESOLUTIONS…
We talked a little bit about New Year’s resolutions today on the show, and Eddie talked about his resolution. He said that his goal this year is to have ‘delayed gratification’ and by that he meant that he would get things done that aren’t incredibly exciting with a good attitude that will lead to happiness later. This was quite the profound resolution! Hopefully, everyone here at WNZR sticks to their resolutions this year! To hear about Professor Rinehart and my resolutions, check out the blog from the show yesterday here.

WINTERJAM TOUR SPECTACULAR…
What’s the new year without Winter Jam, right? The WinterJam Tour Spectacular is coming to Ohio three times!
Saturday, January 21st – at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus
Saturday, February 18th – at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati Sunday,
March 12th – at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland!
If you would like more information and to see the line-up, check out their website, here! 

GAME TIME TUESDAY!
The song poetry for today was ‘Fix My Eyes‘ from For King and Country!
Eddie gave us these lyrics…
“Here’s what I’d do differently,
I’d love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother.”
Congratulations to our winner, Faith from Mt. Vernon!

Our Name that Tune for today was a stumper!!! It will return next week!
Be listening for your chance to win a $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley!

WORD OF THE DAY…
Our word of the day today was ‘ennui’ which is an old French word  thar made its’ way onto the scene around 1660-1670.
Ennui is a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom.
And to use this word in a sentence: “The endless lecture produced an unbearable ennui.”

Have a great evening!
-Lilly & Eddie

Game Time Tuesday – 12/27

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!

We had a stumper with this week’s song poetry with these lyrics:

I want my history
To be Your legacy
Go ahead and show this world
What You’ve done in me

Since nobody got it, it will return next Tuesday.

Our Word of the Day was veridical (vuh-RID-ih-kul), an adjective meaning truthful or genuine. You can find the full definition here.

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!

Games, turkey calls and votes…

images-300x152

It’s Election Day 2016!  I voted in person around 3:30 today in Mount Vernon and Eddie voted absentee. Overall, a pretty good experience as I only waited about 45 seconds to access a ballot and vote after checking in. I sure do appreciate our poll workers and volunteers who make the process so smooth. We also shared some of The Morning Thing’s conversation with MVNU Political Science Professor Dr. Terilyn Huntington during the 5pm hour.

Our Game Time Tuesday Song Poetry winner today was Rhonda from Mount Vernon – our lyrics were from Hillary Scott and the Scott Family’s ‘Thy Will.’ We had a stumper on Name That Tune – hint – this band has a different lead singer than the one on this 2008 song – we’ll bring it back next week!

Totally Tasty Tom Turkey Hunt prize registrations today went to Rachael of Fredericktown and Pat from Mount Vernon.

Today’s very appropriate Word of the Day is suffrage, a noun meaning the right to vote in an election, especially a political one.

Thanks for listening!

It’s Game Time Tuesday for the Afternoon Drive and the 2016 World Series!

The Indians and Cubs start their best-of-7 series tonight in Cleveland. For the Indians, it’s their first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1997, and for the Cubs, it’s been a long drought – they last got to the World Series in 1945 and haven’t won it since 1908.  The Tribe hasn’t won since 1948.  Ouch.  Something’s gotta give for these lovable losers…

Our winner for Song Poetry today was Abby from Mount Vernon, who correctly guessed Big Daddy Weave’s The Lion and the Lamb.  Our Name that Tune winner was Spencer from Utica, who correctly guessed Natalie Grant’s King of the World.  Both win $5 gift certificates to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

We also shared some of the story behind the song of Lauren Daigle’s Come Alive (Dry Bones).  Find out more here.

Our Word of the Day is soupbone, a noun with TWO meanings: a bone used for making soup or broth, or in baseball slang, a pitcher’s throwing arm.

Anywhere that you are, if you need proof,
Take a look at these scars and know I love you!
