GRAD CRASHERS WITH THOSE GIRLS IN THE AFTERNOON!

Grad Crashers with Those Girls in the Afternoon

Got a graduation party coming up? Consider this your official warning: Those Girls might crash it.

Destiny & Taylor are celebrating local grads by popping in on graduation parties across the area. If we pick your party, we’ll swing by to congratulate the grad, snap some photos, and yes… sample the party potatoes.

Know a grad who deserves a little extra hype? Tell us where the party is happening and we might stop by to celebrate in person!

Submit your grad party details below and your celebration could become the next Grad Crashers stop!

By submitting your party, you understand that if Those Girls attend, photos and/or videos may be taken and shared on our website and social media.

    Unplug with Those Girls in the Afternoon

    Ready to take a break from the endless scroll? We are, too!

    Introducing Unplug with Those Girls in the Afternoon—a fun challenge to spend more time off our phones and more time actually living life. Instead of getting stuck doomscrolling video after video, we’re encouraging everyone to do something real, creative, or adventurous away from the screen!

    To make it fun, we created a simple chart to track the hours you spend not doomscrolling. Each month, we’ll release a new chart to help you keep track of your progress. Want to be the first to get it? Subscribe to the ZMail newsletter and you’ll receive the new chart first each month!

    Print it out or screenshot it, fill it in throughout the month, and see how much time you reclaim! At the end of the month, share your progress with us on the Z102.9 Facebook page. We’ll share ours too, celebrate the wins, and swap stories about what we did with our extra off-screen time! Let’s unplug together!

    We’re two grown(ish) women who’ve decided to relive our childhood dreams and go trick-or-treating again this Halloween.

    If we can trick you into thinking we’re just spooky little kids, we get candy. 🍬 If you catch us, YOU get the treat – a prize from us!

    Wanna play along? Drop your address below to get on our Haunted Hit List. We might show up on Halloween night… but it’s up to YOU to spot the trick. 💀

      Contest Rules
      Only a few spooky stops will make the final cut - we can’t promise your house will be one of them… but we might just appear. 🕷️ Submissions will be accepted until Thursday, October 30th at 7PM.





      THE MORNING SCRAMBLE SANTA LINE

      The Morning Scramble’s been in contact with the big man up north once again this year for Santa Line powered by Herteen & Stocker Jewelers!

      Have your little one record a message for Santa on the Z102.9 app and we’ll take it from there. Click ‘uploads’ on the app, record your son or daughter, send it to us, and we’ll send it to Santa! When Santa sends his reply, The Morning Scramble will forward it directly back to your family…and play it on the radio!

      Quick note for the parents: The North Pole elves say any additional information you can provide with the Santa Line recording would be most helpful!

      Then make sure to listen to The Morning Scramble for a chance to hear your message and Santa’s reply on the radio!
