Who Knew This Is Not A Test?!

Today was Who Knew Wednesday on the Afternoon Drive and I talked all about TobyMac’s “This Is Not A Test” Tour that is coming to Columbus THIS weekend!

You can see TobyMac, Colton Dixon, Britt Nicole, and Hollyn at Nationwide Arena this Sunday night, and you can find out everything you need to know about that over here.

I also told you all about how you can win tickets to see that tour, with our “Feel It, Film It” music video contest. The deadline is 11:59 pm tonight, and you can see more on that here.

The Word of the Day was greenmail, which is the practice of buying enough shares in a company to threaten a takeover, forcing the owners to buy them back at a higher price in order to retain control.

Have an awesome Wednesday evening!

Mystery Monday – 10/19

Today was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive!

Joe hid something in the Mystery Box, and after doing the hearing, smell, and touch tests, Sandy from Howard called in and correctly guessed that the item in the box was an emery board, or nail file.

We told you all about the Feel It, Film It contest, where you can enter to win 2 tickets to see TobyMac, Colton Dixon, Britt Nicole, and Hollyn. You can find all the details on that contest over here.

Our Word of the Day was germane, an adjective that means relevant to a subject under consideration. You can read more on that here.

The new film, Woodlawn, from the Erwin Brothers (October Baby, Mom’s Night Out) debuted on 1,553 screens this past weekend.  The true story of high school football in Birmingham, Alabama in 1973, grossed just over $4 million and was 9th at the box office. Woodlawn was 7th in average gross per screen.
