Our gang of Swifties have a bit of a fan moment talking about the new song, “Cardigan.” Are you into it as much as they are? Associate Caller of the Day is Keith from Store 5343 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Thanks for calling, Keith! After hearing from R. Kelly, our regular caller from Store 919 in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, we heard from Akim in 713, Dade City, Florida, who wanted to shout out his store manager, Big Kev. Destiny decides to rename National Work Like a Dog Day to be just one more National Puppy Day, so she has an excuse to love on her dog. You have to admit that sounds better than working too hard (woof). And Greg called to wish his wife, Joanne, a happy anniversary. They’ve been married for 41 years today, and they both work at Store 2544 in Portage, Indiana. Congratulations! It was a great show today with Social Media Highlights, Insta-Rewind, plenty of associate shoutouts, and a lot more on a Rollback Wednesday. Click “play” to hear it all.

Bo opened the show today remembering those we lost one year ago in the tragedy at Store 2201 in El Paso.

Today’s Associate of the Day is Amelia at Store 5982 in Sacramento, California with a shoutout for her whole store. In our Milestone Minute, Robert at Distribution Center 6092 in Spring Valley, Illinois, called to give a shoutout to Penny who’s celebrating her 20-year anniversary, and John called from Store 659 in Nashville, Tennessee, to give a shoutout to Steve Perry celebrating his 38-year journey with the company!

Monday’s Motivational Quote of the Day is from DC Comic character The Flash, “Life doesn’t give us purpose. We give life purpose.” This seems fitting as we take time today to remember those we lost one year ago today in the tragedy at Store 2201 in El Paso, Texas. We had some great associates calling in today including Caller of the Day Bradley at Store 511 in Sumter, South Carolina. It’s a Motivational Monday with Rapid Questions, Finish the Lyrics and shoutouts. Catch up with Antonio and guest DJs Destiny and Beth.

Join Bo on the best day of the week, as he drops facts and beats, plus makes a crazy claim about his sleeping abilities. Can he really fall asleep in seven seconds?

Bo brings big news for all the Drake fans out there: The rapper is reportedly very close to finishing a new album. But that’s not the only fame on display this Friday, as Ed Sheeran joins the show. And, in an act of kindness, Katie from Store 1275 in Lebanon, Indiana, gets a call from mom. Plus, more shoutouts, the celeb news you didn’t know you needed and Bo’s most overrated TV shows.

It’s National Chicken Wing Day and Lasagna Day, so it’s only natural that Bo wants to see someone make a Chicken Wing Lasagna…right? Tomorrow’s National Cheesecake Day and Chili Dog Day…We’ll just leave that one alone, shall we? Associate of the Day Mandy from store 1724 in Millersburg, Ohio, shouted out her Electronics and Photo departments. Jenn calls in to shout out the maintenance crew at store 1982 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Plus Wyatt form Store 2611 in Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, guesses the item on the Detective Product Game.

It’s National Chicken Wing Day, so Antonio and guest DJs Destiny and Beth have to weigh in on their favorite wing flavors. Associate Caller of the Day David shouted out to Delilah in Brea, California at store 2523 with a request for the song “Jolene.” David got a bonus three-part a cappella harmony you don’t want to miss. And move over MC Hammer. Lavonda Ingram from store 5422 in Bainbridge, Georgia says her associates can’t be touched. Listen to hear TONS of shout-outs, whether Darlene at store 4440 in Irmo, South Carolina would have a pet goat or pig and a whole lot more on a Rollback Wednesday.

Great news from our Associate of the Day, Blake, in Store 4048, Prairieville, Louisiana. He just got promo’d to Academy Trainer! Congratulations!!!

All that, plus more associate calls and trivia. Listen to hear it all.

It’s Bugs Bunny’s 80th birthday, so our Motivation Monday Quote of the Day comes from the wascally wabbit himself, “Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive!” We have not one, but two Associate Callers of the Day - Naomi & Mendy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Store 2300. Marie from Store 1081 in Gainseville, Florida, proves that she “can’t let go” of the words to a Boys II Men classic in our Finish the Lyrics game. In sports news, Mike Tyson makes a comeback, but would Antonio make him part of his wolfpack? Listen to find out.
