Game Time Tuesday – Winter Jam

Winter Jam week continues – today we focused on Building 429 and shared Rachel Rinehart’s conversation with lead singer Jason Roy.

Our trivia today was, in what year was Building 429 formed?  The answer? 1999. Congratulations to Spencer of Utica who won the Winter Jam 2018 passes!

Our Song Poetry lyrics today were:

Washed in the blood of your sacrifice,
Your blood flowed red and made me white;
My dirty rags are purified.

The answer was ‘Clean’ by Natalie Grant. Congratulations to Esther from Mount Vernon who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Thanks for listening!
-Joe and Hannah

Game Time and Road Trip Tuesday

IMG_20160419_180126475

Today I stayed in-house giving you a chance to win with Game Time Tuesday while Jess traveled with the WNZR crew (Marcy, Jenna, Rachel, Emily and Cameron) to see ‘This Is Winter Jam,’ a one-night movie simulcast event.

Today’s song poetry was from Hollyn’s song ‘Alone,’ while Name That Tune was from Chris Tomlin’s ‘Forever.’ Congratulations to Damika and Kendrick, who both won $5 gift certificates from Troyer’s of Apple Valley and the Pier House Coffee Shop!

Today’s Word of the Day was KOINE (koy-NAY), which is a noun meaning the Greek language commonly spoken and written in eastern Mediterranean countries in the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Thanks for listening!

Mystery Monday – 11/9

Today was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive!

It was also the kickoff for the 2015 Totally Tasty Tom Turkey Hunt! You can read all about that here. Congratulations to Sam and Bernelle who got registered today on the show!

Since it was the first day for the Turkey Hunt, I was in a Thanksgiving mood and decided to have a holiday-related Mystery Monday question. I found this poll, that showed some of the favorite and least favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. I asked for you to name 2 of the 3 least liked items, and Teresa from Fredericktown called in and correctly guessed cranberries and sweet potatoes. The other item in the top 3 was vegetables.

I also talked about WinterJam 2016, which you can read all about over here.

Plus, click here for all the information on Operation Christmas Child, which is taking place next week.

Have an awesome week!

Jessica from Mount Vernon called in right after we kicked off the first Mystery Box test, and correctly guessed there was a bag of cereal hidden in the box.

We told you all the information on the upcoming Operation Christmas Child shoe box collection. You can read all about that here.

We also told you about WinterJam 2016, which will be coming to the Schottenstein Center in Columbus on Saturday, January 9th. You can find all the details over here.

Our Word of the Day was ruddy, an adjective meaning red in color. You can read more on that here.

Game Time Tuesday – 10/27

Today was a packed full Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!

First, we told you all about how you can still register your pastor to win for the last week of Clergy Appreciation Month. Just head over here and tell us why you love your pastor.

We had a round of song poetry using these lyrics:

I wish you never thought you had to go
Wish you never thought you had to leave
Together we can lift each other up
We can build a shelter for the weak

Rob from Fredericktown called in and correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to Tenth Avenue North’s song No Man Is An Island.

We also told you about how you can pick up a doggy goody bag by emailing us a picture of your dog in his/her Halloween costume to wnzr@mvnu.edu. You can find out more information on that over here.

And make sure to mark your calendar for WinterJam 2016! The tour will stop in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center on Saturday, January 9th, in Cincinnati at the U.S. Bank Arena on Friday, February 19th, and at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland on Sunday, February 21st. The tour will feature some amazing artists, like for King & Country, Crowder, Matthew West, Sidewalk Prophets, and many more. You can see the complete line-up and more information on the tour over here.

Our Word of the Day was slapstick, and you can read more on that over here.

Have a great evening!

Mystery Monday – 10/26

Today was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive.

This week’s mystery question was a stumper. I told you about this article I found, which shows the most popular kid’s Halloween costume for each state, and asked for the most popular one in Ohio. The correct answer was Cinderella.

I told you all about the WinterJam 2016 line-up announcement on the Morning Thing tomorrow at 7:30am. You can also watch the Launch Party live tonight over here.

The Word of the Day was victual, a noun defined as food that is usable by people. You can read more on that here.

Don’t forget to head over here and register your pastor to win in our last week of Clergy Appreciation Month.

Have an awesome week!

-Jess
