From milestone celebrations across the country to the powerful words that stopped Kirby in her tracks, this week’s shows gave us all the reasons to celebrate. Bo was in full party mode when Amy called to shout out the 20-year anniversary of DC 7017 in Wintersville, Ohio. Kelly from Store 197 in Macomb, Illinois, successfully solved Kirby’s riddle in You Don’t Know My Name. Chris’ good mood took a small dip when no wan was able to guess the movie, until Danny from Store 1459 in Indianapolis, Indiana, gave him a new hope. But it was John’s shoutout to his fiancé and fellow associate, Angie, from Store 1294 in Marion, Indiana, that totally took the cake. Listen now!
In a galaxy, far, far away, Chris couldn’t fool listeners with his Take On Me question, when three associates called in with the correct answer. But the mic-drop moment came from David at Store 520 in Winder, Georgia, who gave himself a shoutout for simply showing up to work that day. Bo named two Associates of the Day when Justin and Josh from Store 151 in Mcalester, Oklahoma, called in first. And Kirby was all aglow when she took a moment to honor Charlene, from Club 6651 in Catonsville, Maryland, who achieved her college-degree dreams thanks to the Live Better U program. Discover why Kirby says the best is yet to come, Bo believes the wheel is within reach and more on this week’s show!
There’s always something to celebrate with our DJs, and this week was no exception. Barb from Store 4323 in Kankakee, Illinois, called Chris to send long-distance birthday greetings to Skyler at Store 3262 in Cambridge, Ohio. And Adah from Store 86 in Springfield, Missouri, called Kirby to say happy birthday to her daughter, Sarah, at Store 1141 in Greenfield, Indiana.

Listen now to join the party!
From houseplants to forest bathing, Bo, Kirby and Chris ease into 2023 with a peek inside the wellness world. Bo shouted out some incredible associates in Milestone Minute. Kirby reminds us that we don’t have to go full Snow White to reap the benefits of taking a walk in the woods (or a stroll around the block). Antonio from Walmart World and Andre the Dancing Cart Pusher bring big energy to The Chris Show, as do Chris’ clues for a classic 1980s throwback. Press play for these highlights – and more New Year’s inspiration – from the Walmart World Radio team!
The holidays are on the menu in the radio studio! Amber from Store 288 in Woodville, Texas, calls Bo to send a festive shoutout to her entire store. Kirby celebrates the Store 7224 associates who are sparking good in Lancaster, Texas. Chris’ heart grows three sizes after Stacey shouts out the officers and associates making spirits bright at the Shop-with-a-Cop event at Store 1283 in Starke, Florida.

From Connecticut to Idaho (w/a stopover in Purdue, Indiana, home of the Boilermakers) Chris is riding the shoutout express all week long, proving that the holidays really are the perfect time to shout out the love! Spoiler alert: Chris packed plenty of puns for the trip. Kirby recognizes the team at Store 2496 in Boone, North Carolina, for the ways they’re Sparking Good in their community, then continues to spread joy with a Before You Go reminder that the people we meet – and the stories they share – can expand horizons and hearts. Bo celebrates three outstanding Walmart milestones. He also stumps everyone with his Impossible Question: 45% of families say they have done this activity together. Think you know the answer? Tune in and dial up the volume; this week’s podcast is full steam ahead!
The holidays are a time of special moments and memories, and food plays a huge part. We treasure those delicious Thanksgiving and Christmas meals with our favorite dishes and family traditions. For the Season 3 finale of the Huddle, I talked to John Laney, who runs Walmart’s U.S. food business. John talked about some of his favorite items, and how HIS family does holiday meals for their family of 10! John and I were especially proud to share how Walmart was able to strip the inflation out of an entire basket of holiday food items, so our customers can serve this year's big meals at last year’s price! I hope you'll enjoy this episode, and I hope you'll come to Walmart for all your holiday needs. Thank you so much for tuning in this year. Happy holidays!
Bo’s Impossible Question leaves us auto-ly delighted, as does this head-scratching stat: 40% of people say they read a book while driving. Hmmm. Does that make them wheel read? Chris takes his show – and Bo! – on the road, and the pair winds up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Their on-air celebration of Store 3564's Grand Reopening is one for the books, especially when Store Manager Richard shares the story of his 23 years at Walmart. Spoiler: it has a heartwarming holiday plot twist. Kirby takes a nostalgic drive down Sesame Street with You Don’t Know My Name, and the whole radio squad gets together for a very merry edition of 10 in 10. Fasten your seatbelts; this week's wrap up is gonna jumpstart your morning commute!
Bo raises a mug to National Cappuccino Day before serving up a triple shot of motivation during a chat with Pam, Deb and Sandy from Pittsfield, Illinois, Store 480, who are each celebrating 40 years with the company. Detective Product dishes clues fit for a Thanksgiving feast. A letter from a pilot has Kirby reaching for the tissues inside the Group Chat. We’re all ready to lace up our sneakers for Coach Mike at Store 1931 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and Chris’ new fixation on green bean casserole-flavored sparkling water has us rethinking our holiday H2O strategy. Don’t miss these highlights (and more) as the radio team delivers a cornucopia of holiday flavors during this week’s radio wrap up!
Chris talks office time wasters (hint: ⛈️), the perfect cereal-milk ratio and the best-selling album of all time. It’s a standing ovation for Steve, from Store 130 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, with his double shoutout to boss Sandy and wife Starla, followed by birthday kudos for his daughter’s birthday. With the help of Stacey, from Store 3741 in Atlanta, Georgia, Bo puts the “wraps” on Halloween and starts unpacking for the holidays. But, he really gets “on a roll” with his impossible question: “The average person may use 57 of these a day.” The guesses that follow will have you 🤣 (and no, “emojis” is not the right answer). Kirby turns up the volume on the Group Chat, especially when a case of mistaken feline identity in Des Moines, Iowa, has her asking all the questions. Kaylee from Store 3153 in Omaha, Nebraska, shoots for the moon with her guess inside the game of You Don't Know My Name, but Craig from Store 2334 in Lancaster, Ohio, brings it back down to earth with his answer. Tune in for these stories and more out-of-this-world shoutouts with this week’s highlights from Kirby, Chris and Bo! 🪐
With Halloween fast approaching during last week’s shows, Kirby learned that the top three most-searched costumes were a dinosaur, witch and Spider Man. After sharing trending news in Group Chat, she swung over to the phone and talked with Austin from Dallas, Texas, who gave a special shoutout to his girlfriend, Samaya, for the KG Birthday Club. Speaking of webs, AJ from the Global Tech Information Security Team joined Kirby to talk about phishing and how to stay safe from cyber villains as we closed out Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Finally, our very own superheroes celebrated huge anniversaries in Milestone Minute! Congratulations to Jeanne from Store 2158 in Northborough, Massachusetts; Kimberly from Store 2427 in Dallas, Texas; and Teresa from DC 8234 in Searcy, Arkansas, on 25 years with Walmart. Get caught up on the best of the week with Kirby Gwen & Friends.
Jason, from Store 5312 in Fort Worth, Texas, fueled the show when he called and gave a shoutout to the automotive department, specifically to his managers Jose and Chase. Bo treated listeners to some Halloween trivia and Bo’s Impossible Question which asked: $700 million will be spent on this category of items for Halloween this year. Here’s a hint, it’s available at our re-tail stores. Kim from Store 1500 in Watertown, South Dakota, called and gave a shoutout to her opticians Carla and June who work in the vision center. Sounds like they are spectacular! In a special segment, Bo shared the top things parents consider “me time.” Exercising, reading, a bubble bath and sitting down for a nice meal were things that topped the list to help parents find their inner peas. Oh my gourd-ness: You’re not going to want to miss the shoutouts from this week or the answers to Bo’s Impossible Question and Halloween trivia. Tune in now, if you dare 👻.
You’re probably going to feel like “the king of the world” when you figure out the answer to What Year Was It. In this year, Rose vowed to “never let go” while Will Smith was "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It.” This year the Chicago Bulls also won the NBA finals, the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl and the Marlins won the World Series. It was a homerun for Kelly from Store 1639 in Rochester, Indiana, when she guessed the correct answer and gave a shoutout to the digital team. Chris from Store 2538 in Eugene, Oregon, called and gave a shoutout to the entire overnight crew, his team leads, and coach for doing a great job. Chris and Iyube chatted about the phenomenal sport of Pickleball during the segment, Wrong Answers Only. We relished the moment with all the creative submissions. During Master Dad Joke Theater, Iyube was able to crack Chris, but only when it came to a joke about another breakfast favorite—pancakes. Chris’s jokes were just too flat this week. Sweet dreams were made of cheese when we had two callers from Wisconsin. Props from Store 1138 in Madison, Wisconsin, and EK from Walmart 1551 in Franklin, Wisconsin, both called in and gave shoutouts to their coworkers. Be sure to tune into The Chris Show, it’s Gouda make you laugh.
Tyler Balsman started with Walmart as a People Greeter when he was 16, working his way to Store Manager in a community we’ve been in for a long time – Store 242 in Paola, Kansas. Four years ago, Tyler was excited to add another title to his resume: Kari’s Dad. Tyler and his wife Danielle used Walmart’s adoption benefit when they became the parents of their beautiful baby girl.
Tyler joined me on the Huddle to talk about leading a small-town store that makes a big impact, making the decision to adopt, and how our adoption benefit and parental leave made the process easier. We also talked about how Walmart has expanded our adoption/surrogacy benefits from $5,000 to $20,000, and how our medical plan now supports fertility services.
Families come in different shapes and sizes, and they start in many different ways. At Walmart, we’re proud to support all of them!
There was a round of a-paws when Kirby was joined by Walmart’s pet merchants Gabi, Gabriela and Jonathan as they shared the latest in pet apparel and goodies. From ‘fits to treats and Halloween bundles ghoul-or, be sure to check out all that is available for your pets online and in-store. Kirby was also joined by Bo this week skelebrating the top-10 DIY Halloween costumes. Trick or treat yourself with these fun and creative ideas that anyone can try! Speaking of treats, it was definitely a treat when “Big Wayne,” from Store 5874 in Torrance, California, called and gave a shoutout to his entire store for getting things done and treating the customers with love and respect. We loved hearing from Terri at Store 5965 in Chicago, Illinois, and Pam from Store 1902 in Ammon, Indiana, as they both gave shoutouts to their pharmacy teams in honor of Pharmacy Appreciation Week. It’s a boo-tiful thing hearing from our customers, associates and special guests each week, so tune in now to hear more eerie-sistable shoutouts!
It’s National Pharmacy Appreciation Week, and Bo started the show with his own shoutout to all the Walmart pharmacies, especially to the team at Store 4686 in Bentonville, Arkansas. Bo’s Impossible Question asked: What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment and never in one thousand years? It seemed to only take a second for a correct guess to come in from Joe at Store 363 in Marshall, Missouri. Ethan from Store 1599 in Overland Park, Kansas, and Jasmine from Store 2412 in Ellicott City, Maryland, didn’t waste any time securing the right answer as well. Bo spiced it up in Detective Product, so we were caught off gourd when Carrie from Store 4818 in Jacksonville, Florida, guessed the correct answer. We’re giving ‘em pumpkin to talk about in Milestone Minute as we celebrated three 25-year anniversaries. Congratulations to Jose at Store 2346 in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, Danny at Store 591 in Cynthiana, Kentucky, and Carol at Store 2131 in Topeka, Kansas.

It felt like a “Daydream” in What Year Was It as Michael Jordan made his first return to the NBA, and we all became friends with an animated cowboy and space ranger.

It was a slam dunk when Gayle called from Store 4439 in Paw Paw, Michigan, and gave a shoutout to her entire store and to every position at Walmart.

This week we recognized National Savings Day, and by coin-cidence, Walmart also shared the millions of tuition costs saved since launching the Live Better U education program. Bo shared that the first Comprehensive Punk Rock Museum will open in Las Vegas early 2023. 🤘Speaking of rockin’ it, Oliver from Store 1176 in Stoughton, Wisconsin, was the Associate Caller of the Day and gave a shoutout to the entire store for doing a great job! Another store shoutout came from Dave at Store 350 in York, Nebraska, who also secured the right answer in Detective Product. Bo’s Impossible Question asked: How do you make the number one disappear?

However, we had some other clever submissions, so tune in now to hear these great guesses and more amazing shoutouts on The Bo Show—it just makes cents!
In the light of the moon, we kicked off another week of The Chris Show! From apples to plums, chocolate cake to Swiss cheese and even a lollipop, in What Year Was It we celebrated a notable book featuring a tiny—who became a not so tiny \—caterpillar. Speaking of cake, Tiffany from Store 1363 in Madison, Georgia, fluttered to the phone lines and gave a shoutout to cake decorators Pete and Tracy in celebration of National Cake Decorating Day! Making things a little bit more fun-fetti, Corinne from Store 2328 in Orange, Massachusetts, gave a shoutout to the whole team.

Tammie Jo Shults was one of the U.S. Navy’s first female fighter pilots. She later became a Southwest pilot, and in April 2018 she was piloting a flight from New York City to Dallas that experienced a sudden engine failure. The plane was down an engine, and the explosion broke a window – causing the cabin to quickly depressurize. Tammie Jo stayed calm, immediately rerouted the plane, landed in Philadelphia, and even went back to speak with her passengers afterward. It was an honor to have Tammie Jo join me on the Huddle to talk about the experience, leadership, how she’s persevered against offenses, and how we must always “keep our wings level.”
This exclusive episode was bound to happen. New York Times best-selling author Ali Hazelwood joined Kirby on-air to talk about the launch of the Walmart Book Club—a club long overdue, don’t you think? Ali recently released her new book, “Love on the Brain,” which is the first title of the Walmart Book Club’s new series. Ali shared with Kirby how she transitioned from writing fan fiction to writing original books full time, and the different things that have influenced her writings—like neuroscience! Tune in to learn more about Ali’s creative writing process and more details about this exciting chapter with the launch of the Walmart Book Club.
It’s October, the leaves are beginning to turn, pumpkin spice is on speed dial and we also celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

In “What Year Was It,” Hula hoops became a national craze, and we never would know what it was like to be a “Material Girl” just living in a material world — if it weren’t for the birth of this singer.

When it comes to Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day, one from this week might ruffle your feathers. The question asked: Which is heavier, 100 pounds of rocks or 100 pounds of feathers? Diane from Store 40 in Moberly, Missouri, isn’t taking for granite that she was the first caller to answer Bo’s Impossible Question correctly. However, associates Nathan, Andrew and Tucker were rock stars themselves also calling in with the right answer.

In "What Year Was It," we all strived to live strong, thought we were seeing double and wanted Tom Cruise to “show us the money” because, no doubt, it was 1996! Cathy from Store 617 in Sullivan, Indiana, won by a lamb slide as she was the first to get the right answer. Not a clone named Dolly but a brother named Justin, Josh from Store 2422 in Saint Helens, Oregon, called and gave a shoutout for Justin’s birthday.

What makes a house a home? Is it the people who live there? Or perhaps the number of sides? Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day asked just that: How many sides does a house have?

Our private fleet drivers are the best-of-the-best. They safely drive millions of miles on the roads, keeping our entire business going. We’re also proud to offer one of the best driving jobs out there! A new driver can now earn up to $110,000 in their first year with us, and we recently launched the Private Fleet Development Program which pays for Walmart associates to earn their commercial licenses. Levor Franklin is a recent graduate of that program, and we spent some time on the road for this new episode of The Huddle. Levor is a great driver and fantastic 18-year associate!

Listen to this new episode to hear Jay’s advice on how to keep innovating, make products that can reach more people, and ultimately - deliver and care for each customer.

Walmart is passionate about supporting American entrepreneurs and businesses. This week, we held our ninth annual Open Call where more than 1,100 businesses from across the country pitched their products for a chance to see them on store shelves, Walmart.com, or our Walmart Marketplace. And we’ve pledged to spend an additional $350 billion over the next 10 years on products made, grown, or assembled in the U.S. That investment will support the creation of an estimated 750,000 new U.S. jobs.
It’s amazing to think of the difference we can make for so many lives by buying and selling products that support American jobs. I hope you’ll join me in reflecting on that this weekend as we celebrate our nation’s 246th birthday. Happy Fourth of July, and thank you!

We're grateful to have passionate people on our team like Dr. John Wigneswaran. Wig, as he likes to be called, is our Chief Medical Officer and joined Walmart after years in the medical field - he started in radiology, specialized in nephrology, and worked in the pharmaceutical industry, medical devices, dialysis, and most recently the pharmacy space. Wig shared firsthand the impact our pharmacy associates have on care and the relationship they build with their patients. We appreciate everything our pharmacy teams do every day, especially throughout the pandemic, and they are rightfully in the spotlight for National Pharmacy Week.

This weekend will mark 20 years since the attacks of September 11th. John Furner was a Store Manager in Jacksonville, NC, and distinctly remembers sharing the news with his team - several of which had family members and loved ones serving in the military. In that same moment, Dan Bartlett was with President George W. Bush. Dan is our EVP of Corporate Affairs and came to Walmart after a career in government as Communications Director and Counselor to the President. Dan joined The Huddle to talk about the events of that day - from first hearing the news to conversations had on Air Force One to standing in the Oval Office as President Bush addressed the nation. Our country was forever changed September 11, 2001, but we have stayed resilient and learned to rely on each other and support one another. Please take a moment to remember the 2,977 men, women and children killed that day and to honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger to save others. Two decades ago, we made a promise never to forget. Let us recommit ourselves to fulfilling it together.

Jenny Dalquist’s grandfather came back to the United States from WWII with a background in metal working and chemistry, and her grandmother couldn’t find a lot of the products she used to cook her favorite Scandinavian dishes. Together they opened a family business in the Minneapolis area back in 1946 called Nordic Ware. After responding to Mr. Sam’s call for American manufacturers, Nordic Ware’s signature Bundt pan landed on our store shelves in 1986. Decades later they are now one of our longtime suppliers selling dozens of items, and John Furner recently toured their factory in person. We made a commitment earlier this year to spend an additional $350 billion on items made, grown or assembled in the U.S., and as we kick off our 8th annual Open Call this week, companies like Nordic Ware are what it’s all about. We welcome entrepreneurs from all over the country to virtually present their products to our merchandise buyers for a chance to get started with Walmart, just like Jenny’s family. Listen to this new episode of The Huddle with John Furner to hear their story.

It’s National Cook a Sweet Potato Day, but if you haven’t thrown one in the oven by now, it’s probably too late to start now.

We heard a great shoutout from Jerry at Store 2716 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who called in with Texas on his mind, leaving a message for associates working through brutal conditions: “We feel for them.” We sure do, Jerry. In the Social Media Highlight of the Day, we highlight Liz from Store 419 in Pratt, Kansas, for going above and beyond by helping prepare Fresh areas for customers then jumping over to other areas of the store to help however she can. Way to go, Liz! Check out all that, plus Bo’s Top 10 New Music Countdown, Friday Feud and Did You Know?
It was a Rollback Wednesday full of associates, and customers who called in with shoutouts and guesses for Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day and Detective Product. Do you know what 33% of married men say they have borrowed from their wife? Don’t sweat it. Stick with us, and we might roll-on to the answer. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Brent from Store 4350 in Kilmarnock, Virginia, with a shoutout for the CAP2 team and his entire store. On Detective Product, Bo looked for a product sold in stores and clubs that rhymes with Dracula. Hmmm. 🤔 A customer in Brunswick, Georgia, called with a lot of love for the associates who helped him get a new set of tires. Wendy from Store 5199 in Antioch, Illinois, was featured in Heather’s Milestone Minute with a story about Mr. Sam. Congrats to Wendy for 25 years with Walmart! And, Carlos from Store 3473 in Las Vegas, Nevada, called in to appreciate his fellow associates. Hit play to listen to that and a whole lot more.
It’s a Rollback Wednesday, so Antonio takes it way, way back – we’re talking 1813 Britain. In the spirit of the times, he unveils his Bridgerton name: Lord Antonio Coffeeton of Timberland. You can put your own Bridgerton name together via a simple formula, (Lord or Lady) + (your first name) + (the last thing you had to drink, with the word ‘ton’ on the end) + (brand of shoes you wore today). Try it out and drop Antonio a line with your Bridgerton name on IG or Twitter! Our First Associate Caller of the Day was Dora, from Store 1131 in Taylorsville, North Carolina. And in other associate news, Lord Coffeeton fielded a beautiful shoutout from John at Store 695 in Nashville, Tennessee. John called with a shoutout to his best friend, Steve, who he’s been best friends with since kindergarten – and has 40 years as a Walmart associate. Steve just lost his mom to COVID-19, so John wanted to tell his friend he was in his thoughts. And now, he’s in ours, too. In Did You Know?, 58% of people have said this is the most embarrassing thing to happen involving their cars. Well, dear reader, let’s just say that this author was once bested so thoroughly by a parking garage that she was hours late to a date. Tune in for the answer, plus the InstaRewind, What’s Good Walmart and This or That on a Rollback Wednesday!
Bo started off this frigid Motivational Monday with a post Valentine’s Day themed Impossible Question of the Day. “What did 11% of people do on Valentine's Day?” Here’s a hint: It’s never an ex-cellent idea to do this! Our Associate Caller of the Day was Maria from Store 3456 in Hope Mills, North Carolina, with a shoutout to the pharmacy team. Bo played, “Maria, Maria” by Santana in her honor. Tomorrow is National Do A Grouch a Favor Day, so find the grouchiest person you know and make their day a little bit easier. They may not thank you, but hey, what did you expect? They’re grouches! Bo gave a shoutout to Diane at Store 40 in Moberly, Missouri. She just returned to work after her second knee surgery. Lucas from Walmart’s Emergency Operations Center gave us a weather update, and we heard from Tyler with a “What’s Good, Walmart?” love story featuring Debra from Store 925 in Sefner, Florida. Listen now!
On the Night Snow, Antonio fielded shoutouts from all across the country, as associates from CAP1, maintenance, overnight and more battled frigid weather and wild snowstorms to keep our customers happy! Talk about some winterful associates. Do they speak Latin, because they certainly know how to freeze the day! Carpe freeze ‘em, amirite? Antonio also heard from store manager Mark at Store 505 in Jacksonville, Florida, who went in to ensure his store could keep running. Today in Black History, Henry Lewis became the first Black American to lead a symphony orchestra in the United States on this day in 1968. It’s Presidents Day, which is also known as Washington’s Birthday – and this year, it falls on Feb. 15, even though his birthday was on Feb. 22. So, that’s weird news. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Kyle from Store 612 in Charleston, Illinois. In Did You Know?, Antonio asks what’s something you’ll own about 25 pairs of by the time you turn 35? Our associates probably own more, because their future is so bright… Check out all that, plus 'Who Sang It' and 'Rapid Questions' on Walmart Radio! Hit play!
Bo and Iyube launched into this No Format Friday with a sweet and bubbly Impossible Question of the Day: What popular drink is composed of 99% water? Bo mentioned a few shows ago that he doesn’t like this beverage. Do any dedicated listeners out there remember what it is!? Dominique from Store 6233 in Charlotte, North Carolina, was the Associate Caller of the Day. She gave a shoutout to Ashley, Jess and all her front end associates. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Bo shared his love for action movies like “Face/Off” and “True Lies” and confessed his love for Nicolas Cage. Who doesn’t love that chiseled face?! In Milestone Minute, Bo gives Kathy from Store 884 in Shelbyville, Indiana, a shoutout for 35 glorious years. Mark, a Service Technician from Store 79 in Joplin, Missouri, also got a shoutout for 40 wonderful years! For all the plum fans out there, today is National Plum Pudding Day. Iyube is not a fan, but that doesn’t mean he won’t celebrate with you! In a game of Yes or No Way Bo!, Tiffany from Store 1985 in Laurel, Maryland, called in and played an inspired game. Our highlights include Impossible Question of the Day, associate shoutouts and learning that Iyube hates heights! Bo also offered to call anyone who’s alone on Valentine’s Day! What a mensch! Tune in now!
Antonio is looking out for the procrastinators everywhere: Valentine’s Day is Sunday, which means there’s still time to grab a gift! Don’t delay! We had a brief phone mishap, but Antonio didn’t let it kill his vibe, as he named Briana from Store 5404 in Homewood, Illinois, our official Associate Caller of the Day. She name-dropped half her store, so if you’re from 5404, you’d better listen in! Turning to news, things at HBO are worth saying “Jinkies!” over, as the TV titan announced an animated spinoff series that promises to dive deeper into the story of Scooby Doo character, Velma. What secrets await? In the Social Media Highlight of the Day, Marcos and Tim from Store 5695 in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, celebrated 15 years with Walmart. Congratulations to you both! The guys play Did You Know? and wonder what the average person does in only seven minutes. Not to give too much away, but the average person is either not telling the truth or is enormously good at counting sheep. Check out all that and more on this No Format Friday!
Tomorrow is National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day, which is great, as long as you clean up after yourself. Bo discusses the generous donation of beloved Jeopardy host Alex Trebek’s wardrobe to a homeless organization, which will provide the clothes for job interviews. The donation includes 58 dress shirts, 14 suits, and 300 neckties. Sorry, actually the correct answer is, “What are 58 dress shirts, 14, suits and 300 neckties?” In Milestone Minute, Linda from Store 1661 in Kinston, North Carolina, and Catherine from Store 3247 in Delavan, Wisconsin, celebrate 30 years! Although Yolanda from Store 121 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, has them both beat at 35 years. But it's not a competition. Congrats to all three of you! For the sleuths out there, our Detective Product asks: Can you guess what item Ariel from The Little Mermaid called “The Dinglehopper?” Here’s a hint, she's way off. Other highlights include a foiled fake ID, a father-daughter wedding dance playlist, and Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day, which asks: What do 50% of us have one of in our vehicle, even though it doesn't work anymore? No, it’s not a CD player. Be sure to tune in!
It’s a Rollback Wednesday, and it’s also National Umbrella Day, so naturally the guys had to make it rain in the studio! Friend of the show Ryan, aka Neighborhood Ryan from Store 4445 in Clemson, South Carolina, called in with some umbrella history you won’t wanna miss. In news, Antonio is skeptical about 3-D printed ribeyes, but still wants to ‘steak his claim’ on the foods of the future. Our Associate Caller(s) of the Day were a real family affair, as we heard from Tina at Store 2885 in Newport, Rhode Island, who works overnights with her dad Howie! How cool is that? The guys also do ‘Did You Know,’ with a question about a question. We don’t want to give too much away, but the average 4-year-old child seems to understand that we shouldn’t lead unexamined lives! You need a really good umbrella to get that deep. Tune in for all that, plus ‘What’s Good, Walmart?’ and This or That? on a Rollback Wednesday!
It’s National Kite Flying Day, but honestly, no one is flying higher than Tom Brady right now. Luchino from Store 1893 in Bowie, Maryland, was our Associate Caller of the Day. Contrary to popular belief, the city of Bowie was not founded by Ziggy Stardust. Derek from Chattanooga, Tennessee, was our Customer Caller of the Day. Of course, Bo and Iyube recap Sunday’s big game, which according to Iyube was not won by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but by Tom Brady himself. No matter what you think of the guy, it’s tough to argue. However, the Weeknd’s halftime show is totally up for debate. Bo discusses the good, the bad and the expensive about the eccentric singer’s performance. In other, more useful news, Bo and Iyube talk to our friend, A.J. Sanchez, who stopped by to give us all some tips on how to stay safe online. Tiffany from Store 3035 in Washington, D.C., gives us some great answers about elementary cafeteria lunch. Will we finally find out why the pizza comes in squares? Tune in to find out. The guys talk about Bo’s favorite band, Slipknot, more about pizza and Bo’s three-pronged Impossible Question of the Day. Listen now!
Antonio gets the week going with a Motivational Quote of the Day from basketball star Klay Thompson: “Make your supporters proud and your haters jealous.” It’s also Klay’s 31st birthday, so happy birthday to the sharp-shooting baller! As a supporter, we’re proud of you! It’s National Clean Out Your Computer Day, so make sure to grab your hard drives - and not your disinfecting wipes - to clean up your digital junk. Trust us, you’ll thank us later! Aaron Carter from Store 612 in Charleston, Illinois, was our Associate Caller of the Day. No, he’s not the Aaron Carter that beat Shaq at a game of one-on-one. But he is the Aaron Carter that gave a shoutout to his overnight crew at his store! In super news, Tom Brady won his seventh ring last night. Is he the greatest of all time? Yes! Does he like collecting jewelry? Yes! Is seven rings too many rings for a person to wear at one time? Yes! But, Tom, you do you. You’ve earned it! James at Store 3450 in Killeen, Texas, gave a special shoutout to his fiancée, Angela. They met on the job 23 years ago and work at the same store. Seems like Cupid was in-store with both of them that lovely day in 2008! And, in a game of Did You Know?, Antonio lets us know what the most popular food delivered in the U.S. is according to Uber Eats. Can you guess what it is? Antonio drops sports news, associate shoutouts and hits us with Rapid Questions. Listen now to hear it all on this Motivational Monday.
Kicking off the first in a series of interviews surrounding Black History Month, Antonio and Iyube sat down with Emmily Leavy, the senior project manager for Walmart+.
In a wide-ranging interview, they discuss the importance and meaning of Black History Month, as Emily shares some of her own inspirations – ranging from her mother, who put herself through school on her own, ultimately acquiring a master’s degree while raising children; to Amanda Gorman, who just became the youngest inaugural poet in history with her extraordinary reading of an original poem ‘The Hill We Climb.’ The guys also get into her career with Walmart, show a little love to Walmart+ and discuss Emmily’s nonprofit work in the community. Listen to the interview now, and let us know what you think on social media.
Not only is it a No Format Friday, but it’s also National Bubble Gum Day, which means there’s no telling what might ‘pop’ off in the studio. I’d chews to make that joke twice. Antonio and Iyube kick things off chatting with Andrea from Store 3791 in Three Rivers, Michigan, who doesn’t even give Antonio time to hit the hype horn before asking the question we all wonder with each ring: “Am I the first Associate Caller of the Day?!” Yes, Andrea. Yes you are. In other news, the big game is coming up on Sunday, and the guys are looking forward to some modern reminiscence as John Travolta dances ‘Grease’ on Tik Tok, and Wayne and Garth kick off some party time. Excellent! Antonio chats with one of his favorites, R. Kelly, from Store 919 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, as she celebrates 17 years with Walmart! Congratulations and keep callin’ us! In a research revelation, it turns out that holding a grudge can make you physically weaker. Bit of a paradox really, but if you value big arms, we actually suggest you let this one go. In the Social Media Highlight of the Day, the guys celebrate Irene from Store 463 in Beeville, Texas, for a 39-year career with Walmart! Amazing, Irene! All that and more coming at you, on this No Format Friday. Hit play!
Bo started this Rollback Wednesday with a perplexing Impossible Question of the Day: what is the average age of the American farmer? The answer is somewhere between 1 and 100. Woah, can you imagine a baby farmer? That would be…adorable! Hunter from Store 106 in Fulton, Kentucky, was our first Associate Caller of the Day. He gave shoutouts to his coworkers Devin, Angela and Donnie. But the associate love didn’t stop there! Bo also declared Stephanie from Store 858 in Cairo, Georgia, as our second Associate Caller of the Day! From Kentucky to Georgia, Bo never misses a chance to shout out our associates and thank them for their dedication. Jumping into the news! It’s National The Day the Music Died Day. We refuse to celebrate! The music never dies here! Want proof? Dolly Parton recorded a new version of her song “9 to 5” for a Squarespace commercial that’s a play on her classic. It’s called “5 to 9.” Did you know Dolly Parton wrote her famous hits "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" on the same day? Mrs. Parton, with legends like you, music will never die. In even more news about legendary musicians, Bo can barely contain himself when he hears that Green Day will perform at the NFL Honors special this Saturday. We won’t be missing that! Don’t miss out on an epic version of Detective Product that Bo never thought anyone would get. James from Store 4450 in Louisville, Kentucky, finally cracked the case! His reaction is priceless. Bo is in the studio and reveals that he thinks Punxsutawney Phil is wrong! So get ready for it to heat up. Listen to all that and more, right now!
It’s a Rollback Wednesday, so Antonio and Iyube are bringing the funk! The day starts right with our Associate Caller of the Day, Justin from Store 1936 in Saint Marie, Minnesota, who gives a shoutout to all CAP 1 associates out there! In news worth smiling about, a library in Nova Scotia had a copy of Dr. Doolittle returned – just 82 years after it was checked out. Hey, some of us are slow readers. Iyube makes a strong declaration when discussing an upcoming Frasier reboot: Everything dope came out in the 90s. Look for him in studio on Friday in his JNCO Jeans with his CD Walkman at the ready! The Social Media Highlight of the Day came from Cari at Store 5115 in Davenport, Iowa. She went in for her very first day in a snowstorm! Welcome to the Walmart family, Cari – you’ll fit in wonderfully. It’s National Day the Music Died Day, so Antonio remembers some of his favorites, but can’t find a Chevy to drive to the levy. Probably not enough water there anyway… Join us for all that, plus Did You Know, Back In the Day and more on this Rollback Wednesday!
Today kicks-off Black History Month, and Antonio marks the occasion by celebrating the American activist and pioneering poet Langston Hughes. It also happens to be his birthday, so happy birthday, Mr. Hughes! Let’s continue to celebrate the legacy you’ve left! Ann from Store 3608 in Madison, Ohio, was our Associate Caller of the Day. Antonio wished her and all of Store 3608 a Marvelous Monday. In nostalgia news, Disney Plus has announced a Mighty Ducks reboot! Quack! Quack! Quack! Fighting ducks are exactly what we need right now. Maybe they can take on the murder hornets we’ve been hearing about! Antonio also gives a special shoutout to General Motors after they announce most of their vehicles will be electric by 2035. Now that’s how you spark change! It’s getting electric in here! In Social Media Highlight of the Day, we feature a Happy to Help associate, Summer at Store 1634 in Little Falls, Minnesota. Congrats on your Happy to Help award for January! We are so proud of you and how far you have come in your job! In Motivational Quote of the Day, Antonio quotes the recently passed Cicely Tyson, “Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.” These words ring true now more than ever. Rest in Peace to the legendary actress. Antonio delivers news, a game of Who Sang It? and Did You Know that we’re sure you don’t know yet! Listen now to hear it all on this Motivational Monday.
This No Format Friday kicked off with Bo declaring that he’s hopping on all the bandwagons he can find! So reach out to him right now! Quick! Do it! Bo also shocked us with a difficult Impossible Question of the Day. He asked, what costs just $5 today, but used to cost more than $20k when it first came out? Think of something you never want to see in your house unless you already know it’s there. The Associate Caller of the Day was Sarah from Store 1457 in Riverton, Wyoming. She wanted to shout out her whole store. She also said she’s just going to hang out this weekend. Sarah, you know what else you can do? Find a bandwagon to join with Bo! In hip-hop news, Mike D. from the Beastie Boys is auctioning off his VMA and gold records for charity. What a cool way to continue the Beastie Boys legacy! And, in even more bandwagon news, Bo and Iyube break down Wanda Vision. Yeah, you guessed it. Bo’s on board! Bo also catches up with Pink in Celebrity Chit-Chat. She reveals “What About Us” is one of her favorite songs that she’s ever made. We agree. It’s an absolute banger! Bo is in the studio with Yes or No Way, Bo! and entertainment news. Listen to all that and more, right now!
Antonio opened a No Format Friday with a glorious proclamation: February might be lit! Here’s to hoping, Antonio. We’ve got a lot coming up in the new month, with Black History Month kicking off, Iyube celebrating a birthday and the holiday you either love or hate: Valentine’s Day. The Associate Caller of the Day was Coach Bobby from Store 3463 in Brandon, Florida. She shouted out the whole crew at 3463 for continually killing it! In other things worth knowing on your Friday, don’t invite Antonio on Six Flags’ new 13-story tall roller coaster – or a spinning teacup ride, for that matter. He just doesn’t like to part-tea. He feels like those contraptions jeopardize his safe-tea. In the Social Media Highlight of the Day, Antonio and Iyube recognized Tamara at Store 5293 in Anthem, Arizona, for bringing the 90s vibes and always being pleasant to work with for our customers. In Did You Know, Antonio asks for something the average person replaces every 10 years. This one’s tricky, but let’s just say that it impacts both your floors and the cosmological constant. Plus, we’re playing Friday Feud, talkin’ more news and dropping more tunes on this No Format Friday! Don’t miss it!
Today you can have your cake and eat it too, because it’s National Chocolate Cake Day! We’re already going back for seconds. We had three Customers of the Day call in, Bonnie from Lebanon, Virginia; Lauren from Helena, Alabama; and Rebecca from San Antonio, Texas. Bo and Iyube discuss Dwayne Johnson’s new show, “Young Rock.” Not only does it flash back to his childhood (was it Dwayne “The Pebble” Johnson then?), but flashes forward in time to 2032 where the Rock plays himself...running for president! Talk about a strong candidate. In Milestone Minute, Bo congratulates Sally, Sherry and Brenda on their “coral” anniversary. We don’t know how coral became the tradition, but after 35 years, we certainly have an ocean of gratitude. Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day asks where do 14% of people have their workstations set up? Let’s just say some people are more grounded than others. Other highlights include the Weeknd’s surprise album drop called, “The Highlights,” and another Detective Product case closed by Angie from Store 5864 in Gardenville, Nevada. So treat yourself to a hefty slice of chocolate cake and tune in!
What’s that sweet something you smell? That’s right, it’s National Chocolate Cake Day, so preheat your oven and get your bake on! Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok as you pull your delicious desserts out of the oven! Dave from DC 7048 was our Associate Caller of the Day. He called all the way from the desert of Reno, Nevada. That’s desert, not dessert, but hopefully Dave gets a dessert in the desert. We’re rooting for you, Dave! In more sweet news, Darius Rucker paid for everyone’s meal at an IHOP in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. He also left a very generous tip! What a kind gesture! The only thing that could top that would be a Hootie & The Blowfish reunion! Come on, Darius! We “Only Wanna Be With You!” And in Social Media Highlight of the Day, we shout out Jesus at Store 2167 in Exton, Pennsylvania. He’s a cashier who just completed 5 years of service! Thank you, Jesus, for always keeping the line moving. Here’s to another 5 years! And in Did You Know, Antonio lets us know what we all do perfectly about 106 times a year without even trying. Don’t sleep on that! Antonio delivers news, Associate Shoutouts and plays a game of This or That with Jenny from Store 2838 in Henderson, Nevada! Listen now to hear it all on a Rollback Wednesday.
It’s Opposite Day, and as you can imagine, we hate it! The Associate Caller of the Day, Barry, called in all the way from the Pacific paradise of Store 2473 in Hilo, Hawaii. Hey Barry, want to trade jobs? She wants to give a big ‘mahalo’ to the whole store back on the Big Island. Bo and lyube discuss how 43-year-old Tom Brady’s return to the big game proves age is just a number...of big games he’s apparently trying to win before he retires. In Milestone Minute, Heather gives a fascinating interview with Tim, who’s been a Home Office associate for a whopping 45 years. Take that, Tom Brady! And don’t miss Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day, which asks who was the only artist to ever be stripped of a Grammy Award? Don’t ask us for any hints, our lips are synced, I mean sealed. We also have fun with the word “Cabotage,” ponder what refrigerators would say if they could talk (which is actually pretty cool), and Jeff Chatman from Store 4168 in Beebe, Arkansas gave us the most entertaining Associate Story today. You gotta hear it. Or, in the spirit of Opposite Day, you don’t!
It’s a No Format Friday, which means Iyube is in the best possible mood – and he isn’t alone! After all, there’s a lot to be stoked about. The Associate Caller of the Day sure was stoked: Bo chatted with Brandon, from Store 4176 in Sherwood, Oregon, who called to holler at his boy Brian – “the best associate ever!” Bo and Iyube took HBO to task for scraping the bottom of the barrel to name its new 'Game of Thrones' prequel the ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg.’ Is it about playing super fragile basketball? Here’s to hoping the final episode is good. In Milestone Minute, Bo congratulates Denise, Kevin and David for celebrating a whopping 35 years! Amazing work! And don’t miss Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day, which asks for a job that 15% of men have held at one point in their life. The answer may not be glamorous, but it does allow men to prove something important to their neighbors… We’ve also got celebrity chit chat, and Brittany from Store 3812 in Columbus, Ohio plays Yes or No Way Bo! Listen now!
It’s National Disc Jockey Day, so get your boogie on and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok as you bust a move! Misty and Destiny were our Associate Callers of the Day from Store 3608 in Madison, Ohio. You know what two Associate Callers of the Day means? Double shoutouts! That’s how you spread the love! In population news, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have welcomed their second child into the world, a baby boy named Phineas. Congratulations to the couple! And, we already have good news for Phineas, all five seasons of "The Muppet Show" are heading to Disney Plus. Everyone needs Kermit and Miss Piggy in their life! We also have a social media shoutout for Joanne at Store 2236 in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. Antonio screamed a big shoutout to Joanne for hitting the awesome milestone of 25 Years!! Cheers! Thank you for your service! And, Antonio lets us know that 51% of people would rather have jury duty than give coffee up for a week. Coffee has to be considered the most powerful morning routine, right?! Antonio delivers news, Associate Shoutouts and tells us which songs really get a wedding dance floor going! Listen now to hear it all on a Rollback Wednesday.
The show kicked off today with a great audio montage reflecting on the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bo and Iyube started off this important day with some reflection, some remembrance and some hope for the future. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Brian from Store 2152 in Albany, New York, and he shouted out his whole Lawn & Garden team, his management team, Junior, Paul and basically everyone else at the store. Well, we’ve got a shoutout for you, Brian, because your shoutout game is so strong. Call us back when you think of some other folks you may not have remembered! Today’s special, so Bo felt like we needed two Associate Callers of the Day. Cody from Store 68 in Wynne, Arkansas, was the lucky guy, and he shouted out his store manager Mr. Michael and his department manager Miss Janese. Listen to the manners on Cody. Thanks for calling! On today’s Say Word, we learned about cronk (not crunk). If you’re getting cronk, your Australian friends will ask if you’re feeling alright. That’s some sick word knowledge, guys. And, we got to know customer John in Neighborhood Market 2870 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as he told us about one of the best days of his life. Catch up with Bo and Iyube in the studio right now!
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so let’s look to Dr. King for our Motivational Quote of the Day: “Faith is like taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” If that’s not an inspiration for a Motivational Monday, we don’t know what is. Antonio, Bo and Iyube had a panel of experts on the show to remember and reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It’s a very special interview you don’t want to miss. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Joe from Store 3774 in Williamstown, Pennsylvania. Hey, Joe. Where you going with that shoutout in your hand? Thanks for calling! Do you feel like eating bad food when the music is blaring? In Did You Know?, Antonio shared that when the restaurant is rocking, the junk food comes knocking. And in Social Media Highlight of the Day, Academy Store 2048 in Fairfield, California, made a video recap of 2020, saying, “Our associates worked hard this year, and we want to give a shoutout to all of them! Thank you to our wonderful teams and a big THANK YOU to our customers.” We’re glad to hear that something good came from 2020. 😊 Today was a Motivational Martin Luther King Jr. Monday, with Rapid Questions, Who Sang it? and LOTS of Associate Shoutouts. Listen now to hear some of your fellow associates from across the country.
Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day said that Moscow is home to the busiest one of these in the world. What is it? Here’s a hint, billions love it every day. Bethany from Store 3608 in Madison, Ohio, was our Associate Caller of the Day. She gave a shoutout to her apparel team and had a great gift idea for all the men out there preparing for Valentine's Day. Can you hear that? That’s a big thank you from men everywhere for the reminder! In funny news, Cardi B is set to star in the comedic film entitled “Assisted Living.” We only have one question: can she also write the script, because she is hilarious? In a game of Yes or No Way Bo!, Pedro from Store 5787 in Raeford, North Carolina, missed playing a perfect game by one question. Don’t sweat it Pedro. You are still our best contestant to date! And, in Celebrity Chit-Chat, Bo finds out what the band King & Country think about social media’s influence on our society. Bo was in the studio with Yes or No Way Bo!, Impossible Question of the Day and a celebration of National Bagel Day. Listen to all that and more, right now.
It’s National Hat Day, so hats off to you if you want to put on your favorite head covering and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. Dennis at Store 144 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was our Associate Caller of the Day. Big shoutout to all the Razorbacks out there! In aging news, Betty White turns 99 on Sunday. Betty credits her sense of humor and positive outlook for her ability to age gracefully, "It takes up too much energy being negative." We couldn’t agree more, Betty!!! We are positive you’re about to have a great birthday! Plus, frowns give you wrinkles, and who wants that!? Also, Antonio admits he has 100 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in his house. Hey Antonio, we’re coming over! We also have a social media shoutout for Karen at Store 4637 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She’s been with us for 35 years! Thank you for all you do, Karen! And, Antonio lets us know that 47% of people have drunk from a milk carton in the kitchen. We would have guessed 100%! Who doesn’t do that?! Antonio delivers sports news, associate shoutouts and tells us what’s in Fig Newtons! Hint, it’s in the name! Listen now to hear it all on a No Format Friday.
When Bassel Aboutaha moved to America 17 years ago, he interviewed with Walmart and landed a job that ended up changing his life. Today he’s the Store Manager at 3296 in Houston, TX, leading a team that earned 3,000 five-star ratings from customers over a three-month period last year. Bassel’s associates represent the diverse community they serve, where 30 different languages are spoken. He says they can “move mountains.” Bassel is proof that if you look for opportunity and set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. We know you’ll love hearing his inspiring story in this new episode of The Huddle with John Furner.
Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day said this was the most popular hobby of 2020. Here’s a hint, it is not sitting on the couch and watching TV! What else did people do in 2020? The Associate Caller of the Day was DeDe from Return Center 9153 in Waco, Texas. She gave a shoutout to Rosa who was sitting right next to her! Bo gave Dede and Rosa a virtual hug. Yeah, it was a lovefest! In reptile news, Carrie Underwood admits to hating turtles. If you ever meet Carrie, do not tell her about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

That said, you can carry a whole pie on your lap, so use that information wisely. 🥧 If you missed it on The Night Show, Bo and Antonio had a special interview with DJ Khaled, so listen now to hear the whole conversation. It’s a Rollback Wednesday, but we’re looking forward to a day off, and we know you are, too. To all Walmart and Sam’s Club associates out there, enjoy your Thanksgiving off! 🦃 🍗 We’ll catch up with you on Friday…after you catch up with The Bo Show podcast right now.
Today’s Associate Caller of the Day was Peggy from Store 7020 in La Vergne, Tennessee. She is an overnight assistant, and she called in on her last day with the overnight team to appreciate them for everything they’ve done over the years. Peggy, we hope they appreciate you like we do! Bo and Antonio had a special interview with DJ Khaled, and they talked about an important cause, Salvation Army Angel Trees. DJ Khaled also talked about his love and support for his hometown of Miami. Listen now to hear the whole interview. For our Social Media Highlight of the Day, Walmart Store 3564 in Willowgrove, Pennsylvania, is also spreading holiday cheer by helping those in need. Many families will celebrate a wonderful dinner because of them! It was a Rollback Wednesday as we looked forward to being off on Thanksgiving like all of our Walmart and Sam’s Club associates. Enjoy your day off, and we can’t wait to hear from you on Friday!
Bo wants to know what are 50% shorter than they were, on average, 15 years ago for today’s impossible question. This one’s so easy, he might be phoning it in.😉 Our Associate Caller of the Day was Aaron from Store 906 in Gallup, New Mexico, with a shoutout for his whole store, especially electronics. But that’s not it! Today, we have a Store of the Day, and it’s 1395 in Centralia, Illinois. Melissa called in and sold her store so well that Bo and Josh decided to celebrate the whole store! Today’s Say Word is octothorp(e). The ‘e’ is optional. #Lookitup. Some of us call it a pound sign or even number sign, but most our viewers know it as a hashtag. One little symbol – so many names. We have two 40-year associates to celebrate on Milestone Minute today. Susan from Store 212 in Norman, Oklahoma and Sherry from Store 239 in Kosciusko, Mississippi, are both celebrating four decades with Walmart. Today was Motivational Monday, so Bo and Josh got the week started off right with An Associate’s Story, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more. Listen to catch up today!
Our Associate Caller of the Day is (drum roll) Luke “The Maintenance Monster” from Store 1267 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and he shouted out his store manager, Jacob, for getting his automated floor scrubber up and working. Lethal Weapon 5 is set to begin production. We thought they were getting too old for this stuff, but we can’t wait to see the latest installment of the buddy cop action movie series. We played Rapid Questions with Christel from Store 5826 in Brandon, Florida, and you have to hear what app she doesn’t like using but has to anyway. We had Finish the Lyrics, Did You Know?, Social Media Highlight of the Day and what seemed like a million Associate Shoutouts on a Motivational Monday.
Today’s Associate Caller of the Day was Sam from Sam’s Club 6684 in Riverdale, Utah. (We can’t make this stuff up, folks.) Sam from Sam’s was across the street from his club in Walmart Store 1708 getting work done on his car, and he thought he’d give us a shout. Sam may be the first Sam’s associate to be the caller of the day on The Bo Show ever. That’s the most No Format Friday thing we may have seen in a while, so we named this whole podcast episode after him! Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day came from the great white north. What has Canada had for only 55 years? Wave and flag us down if you know. 😉 Jordan and Brandon from the Toy Talk team visited the studio today to show off some of the hottest RC vehicles and Star Wars toys this season. Describing what you see is always good radio. You can’t tell us different. And finally, Bo had a little Celebrity Chit Chat with the rock band, LANY. Listen now for Associate Shoutouts, Yes or No Way Bo, news and a lot more. It was a wild one today that you don’t want to miss. Click play now!

Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day suggests that four of 10 people believe they have control over something. The other six of 10 think they’re dreaming. 😉 Today, we have a Customer of the Day from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ben was a little surprised to say the least. In Walmart news, Harry from Store 2141 in Philadelphia, saved a man from drowning over the weekend. Head on over to Walmart World on Facebook or Instagram to see the story and appreciate him for just being awesome! Bo, Josh and Iyube discuss the top 10 presents we’re buying ourselves. If you need ideas for what to buy yourself, you’d better listen. We had a full house today on a Rollback Wednesday with Detective Product, Milestone Minute, news and more on The Bo Show!
According to a holiday survey, 85% of parents say it's not really Christmas until they buy batteries. So y’all had better stock up so that we can deck those halls! Joe at Store 3774 in Williamstown, New Jersey, was today’s Associate Caller of the Day. The team at Store 629 in Union, South Carolina, gave a social media shoutout to Food Team Lead Carla on 30 years with the company. Congratulations, Carla!

AJ Sanchez from the Walmart Information Security team stopped by to discuss some important online shopping safety with Bo and Josh. He had some good tips. AJ also gave us the top five most tempting desserts this holiday season. How many of them were pies? You have to listen to find out. On Milestone Minute, we celebrated two – count ‘em two – 40-year associates! Susan at Store 35 in Manhattan, Kansas, and Tammy at Store 352 in Chester, Illinois, both deserve your congratulations for working four decades with Walmart! 🎉 Bo and Josh were in the studio today with National XYZ Day, News and Bo’s Impossible Questions of the Day on a Motivational Monday. We missed you after a week off, so listen to the podcast to catch up today!
The Associate Caller of the Day is Rachel at Store 4105 in El Paso, Texas, and she’s been with Walmart for 26 years! Thanks for calling, Rachel! Do you need a tip for 2020? Actor, singer and restauranteur, Donnie Wahlberg, gave someone a $2,020 tip recently on a $35 lunch bill. That’s the right stuff to help us get through the year step by step. So, on Who Sang It?, we chose some lyrics that are hangin’ tough with Donnie’s generosity. And on the Social Media Highlight of the Day, we shout out Walmart Store 463 in Beeville, Texas. Nelda and the overnight team did a great job getting the store clean, zoned and ready for their Deals for Days events. Great job, team! Antonio and Iyube are in the studio for today’s podcast. We had some technical issues that kept us from being on air in stores, but you can catch up with The Night Show right here with National XYZ Day, Motivational Quote of the Day, Did You Know? and more on this Motivational Monday!
Fan-favorite Antonio makes a guest appearance on today’s show. The Associate Caller of the Day is Kayla from Store 425 in Brent, Alabama. It’s Friday the 13th, and Antonio, Iyube, and Bo list the top superstitious things they do. Chris from Anderson, South Carolina, plays “Yes or No Way Bo!” The Toy Team makes a No Format Friday appearance with Toy Talk, and Antonio and Bo discuss their plans to rent the mansion from The Bachelor. Listen to all these and more shenanigans on today’s episode. FriYAY!
U.S. Army veteran, Brynt Parmeter, Walmart’s senior director of military programs, joined Bo and Antonio in the studio to talk about Veterans Day and how Walmart supports veterans and their families and support systems. Happy Veterans Day to all who have served or continue to serve in our military.
“Yes! We did it! Oh, my gosh, this is so awesome!” That’s the reaction from Daniel, our Associate Caller of the Day from Store 3988 in Spanish Fork, Utah. He wasn’t done, though. He had shoutouts for Geno, William, Judd, and all the associates in his store! Thanks for calling, Josh! Does someone in your house do a lot of farding before leaving the home? Today’s Say Word, fard, has Bo, Iyube, and Josh making sure they pronounce their “d’s” very carefully to avoid making a bunch of middle school level jokes “accidentally.” Heather from Walmart World stopped in for a Milestone Minute to celebrate Sherry at Store 144 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for 30 years with Walmart! Congratulations, Sherry! And to remember actor, Sean Connery, we found the top ten movies to stream that he starred in. (If you haven’t watched Time Bandits, you’re in for a real treat.) Today was a Motivational Monday, so catch up with Bo, Iyube, and Josh in the studio today!
“We are a single humanity, and we belong to each other. Our lives are inextricably linked.” Kelvin Buncum’s perspective on leadership is to always treat others with dignity, respect and kindness. He’s an engineer, became an entrepreneur, and now leads our Neighborhood Market teams. He’s seen the true character of our associates firsthand during tough times. They’ve acted with courage and commitment to deliver for our customers in incredible ways. Listen to this new episode of The Huddle to hear Kelvin’s advice for those new to the world of retail, and why he believes we can accomplish more together.
Associate Caller of the Day Jeff from Store 1932 in Ellsworth, Maine, got the week started off right with a GOOOOOOOOD MORNING, ANTONIO! They have tons and tons of freight to work through, but the team is getting closer to each other as they get those Christmas goodies on the shelves. Jeff had shoutouts for Store Manager Matt, Marshall and Mark on CAP1, Brandy and Brandon on overnights and basically the whole store team. Thanks, Jeff! It’s producer Josh’s first day on the Night Show as Antonio’s sole co-pilot. But even though Antonio and Josh create their own bond on the show, we had to say goodbye to the original Bond, Sean Connery. The iconic actor and original on-screen James Bond died over the weekend at age 90, so we honor him by quoting him in today’s Motivational Quote of the Day, “There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.” And in our Social Media Highlights, we have two retirees to celebrate: Alice from Store 447 in Del Rio, Texas, retired after a 30-year Walmart career, and U.S. Navy veteran Michael from Store 1934 in South Hill, Virginia, retired after 13 years with Walmart. Congratulations, and best wishes! Both of you will always be part of the Walmart family. Of course, we had some fun with Did You Know?, Who Sung It? and a whole lot more on a Motivational Monday.
Pass the candy corn. It’s all treats, no tricks, on this October 30th. Joanie from Store 0479 in Altus, Oklahoma, was our Associate Caller of the Day. For the Milestone Minute, we celebrated Debbie McVey from Store 3155 in Derby, Kansas; Sally Holloway at Store 823 in Ponca City, Oklahoma; and Dianne Tritch at Store 172 in Washington, Missouri. Between them, these ladies have over 100 years of experience working for Walmart! Pop singer Tones and I stops by and talks about her hit single “Dance Monkey,” and more spooky fun as we cruise into Halloween weekend.
It’s getting spooky in here! As we head into Halloween weekend, there’s lots to get excited about. The first Associate Caller of the Day was Bell at Store 1298 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Bell rang in (get it?) to give a shoutout to her night shift coworkers. It’s a No Format Friday, so the guys decided, hey, why not have a second Associate Caller of the Day? So #2 was Joe at Store 838 in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Would you go to a Komodo dragon theme park? There’s one being built in Indonesia – talk about scary! Congratulations to Money Center associate Vickie from Store 1371 Columbus, Indiana. She just celebrated 23 years with Walmart. The associates in Rock Hill, South Carolina, would like to take a moment to honor the life of Ms. Lee, who recently passed away. And no one loves spooky szn more than Amber, so Top 5 at 5 featured her Halloween hits. A Halloween-themed Friday Feud and more on this spine-tingling Friday.
Bo has the mother of all Impossible Questions today. He said that 72% of Americans live within an hour of something. That’s pretty close. We thought it would have been father. 😉 Isabelle from Store 2188 in Eagle River, Alaska, called in from the last frontier to shout out her manager, Dan, and all the hourly supervisors in the store! If Toy Story 3 scared you, then Iyube has a list for you – The top 10 scariest G-rated movies. It should be no “secret” what the number 1 movie is, but some of the movies on the list may surprise you. And in our Milestone Minute, we celebrate three associates with major anniversaries, including Peter at Store 1864 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, who is celebrating 40 years with Walmart! Bo and Iyube were in the studio with brand new producer, Josh.

Our Associate Caller of the Day, Luke, from Store 1267 in Prairie, Wisconsin, wants everyone to know that it’s fridge day at his store. So if you’re working in Store 1267 today, you’d better get your Hot Pockets outta the fridge, ‘cause Luke’s cleaning it out! That’s cold, man. Do you like the smell of KFC? Well, the Kentucky Fried Chicken fireplace log is here for you. It’s exclusive to Walmart, so get yours before they’re gone. In InstaRewind, Leslie at Store 536 in Abilene, Texas, called in with the thrilling answer. And our Social Media Highlight of the Day comes from Walmart Store 742 in Kingsport, Tennessee. They proudly introduced their new Team Leads, Cat, Amy and Amber. They’re proud of these three ladies, and we are too! Congratulations to Kingsport’s newest team leads! Antonio and Iyube held it down in the studio today with This or That, Did You Know?, Associate Shoutouts and more on a Rollback Wednesday.
The Associate Caller of the Day was Sue from Store 1446 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. At the top of the show, she had a pretty good guess for Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day. Bo asked what the average woman will purchase 220 of over the course of her life, and you can’t hold a candle to Sue’s answer. Or can you? 🤔 Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak isn’t sitting around spinning his wheels. He turns 74 today, and he’s still going strong. If you want to buy him anything for his birthday, maybe buy a vowel. 🤣 We have two 35-year anniversaries on today’s Milestone Minute. Congratulations Jackie from Store 6585 in Topeka, Kansas, and Deb at DC 6009 in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, for your three-and-a-half decades at Walmart. Bo counted off some of the top bad excuses for sleeping in late, and he tempted fate by admitting that he doesn’t have a problem with oversleeping. Well, get some of those excuses ready, Bo. We all know saying you never oversleep is a good way to ensure that you will. 😴 Bo was in the studio today with Did You Know?, Say Word and Associate Shoutouts, so listen to check out all the action on a Motivational Monday.
Our Associate Caller of the Day was Janelle at Store 1022 in Tyler, Texas, and she called in to shout out all her overnight co-workers. Thanks, Janelle, and call back any time! Oh, my gourd, it’s National Pumpkin Day! 🎃 Antonio admitted that the last pumpkin he carved over the weekend wasn’t his best. Don’t let that squash your dreams, Antonio. For our Social Media Highlight of the Day we want to congratulate associate Kim on her 30 year anniversary with Walmart today at Store 419 in Pratt, Kansas. And Janelle from Store 1022 in Tyler, Texas, called in to shout out two of her co-workers, Jesus and Quincy, who were working hard in menswear. Hang on a minute. Is that Associate Caller of the Day, Janelle, calling back into the show? Why, yes. Yes, it is. Call us as many times as you want, Janelle! Today was your day on The Night Show. Antonio was flying solo on a Motivational Monday with Finish the Lyrics, Rapid Questions, a Motivational Quote of the Day and a whole lot more. Listen now to get in on the fun!
Summer may be over, but Bo’s Impossible Question asks what a beach ball and a frisbee have in common. He’s not mailing this one in, so make sure you listen to the end, because we won’t post the answer here. 😉 Our Associate Caller of the Day was Rob from Store 258 in Topeka, Kansas. We appreciate the call, Rob! Does National Mother-in-Law Day have you worried? It does for Bo and Iyube. Maybe you can offer her some Chick-fil-A secret sauce. Starting mid-November, the chain that some fast food fanatics believe has the best chicken sandwich is selling their sauce exclusively at Walmart. And in Celebrity Chit Chat, Bo catches up with Lovelytheband about their songwriting process. It was definitely a No Format Friday with Milestone Minute, Entertainment News and a list of 2020’s most popular baby names. Click ‘Play’ to hear what Bo and Iyube were up to in the studio.
Hey, Night Show fans, you might have missed us in stores this Friday. We didn’t stream to stores today, but we made sure to get all the fun of a normal No Format Friday show packed into this podcast. So if you missed Antonio, catch up with him right now! Megan from Store 399 in Longview, Texas, was our Associate Caller of the Day, and she wanted to shout out her store manager for just being an amazing person. It’s National iPod day, so dig that old Nano out of the drawer and shuffle into the weekend with Antonio’s Weekend Countdown, part 2. And our Social Media Highlight of the Day goes to Tony “Spark” Anderson who has been with the company for 21 years. He started out as a Cart Pusher at Store 1345 in South Boston, Virginia, in May 1999. Now, he’s a Vision Center Manager at Store 1934 in South Hill, Virginia. We ended the week right with Friday Feud, Did You Know?, Associate Shoutouts and a bunch more on this special podcast-only No Format Friday.
On October 21, 1970, Marshall Johnson started his career. That makes today his 50th anniversary with Walmart. 🎉🎆 He was smiling on that day five decades ago, and he’s still smiling today. 😁 We pulled out all the stops to celebrate him today. We had a whole host of DJ’s in the studio. We had Marshall’s store manager call in from Store 665 in Cambellsville, Kentucky. We were live in his market, so Marshall could join in the fun. He even took over our playlist, and we have to say that Marshall has some really good taste in music. If Whitney, Aretha, Tina, Michael and Lionel Ritchie don’t get you going, we can’t help you. Good stuff, Marshall! We had 70’s trivia and talked about dance trends in the 70’s. And, for the main event, we had the man himself live on the air. Marshall called in and shared some memories about his 50 years with the company, shared some advice for new associates and shared his amazingly positive energy with us all. If you’ve never listened to a Walmart Radio Podcast, this celebration of Marshall is a good a place to start. Congratulations on 50 years, Marshall!!! Here’s to many more! 🥂👏
Our Associate Caller of the Day was Matthew at Store 1030 in Lancaster, South Carolina. He called in to recognize Miss K, his frontend coach, for being a Bad Mama Jama. In You Can’t make this up, Bo admits he has been lost while using GPS. Hey, we’ve all been there. We’re just glad you found your way to the studio today. 😊 Tyler from Walmart World shared an amazing Milestone Minute with Marshall, our 50-year Walmart associate. We celebrated him with a special edition of Walmart Radio today, so make sure to check out Marshall’s podcast! Bo was flying solo in the studio today with Detective Product, Most Important Inventions and, of course, Associate Shoutouts on a Rollback Wednesday. We had three shows today, so make sure you check them all out by listening to the podcasts!
Yeah, we heard that little slip when saying Carrie Underwood’s name, Antonio. FWIW, it was hilarious, and now, it’s out there forever on this podcast. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Luke from Store 5869 in Moscow, Idaho, with a callout for his mod crew. Thanks, Luke! Would you like to go to the movies with 20 friends? AMC movie theaters has got you covered. They shared plans to rent out whole theaters for $99, but that doesn’t mean you can have popcorn fights, Antonio and Iyube. They still have to clean up after you. Today’s Social Media Highlight of the Day goes out to Frontend Coach Edna and People Lead Elizabeth who have been #WalmartFriends for 21 years. They both started with the #StatesvilleWalmart at Store 1662 in North Carolina when they were just 18 years old. On InstaRewind, Mitsy from Store 756 in Summerville, Georgia, called in and actually sang us the right answer. Antonio and Iyube were in the studio today with Did You Know?, News and a special birthday shoutout on a Rollback Wednesday. Listen today!
Bo’s Impossible Question will surely stump some people today. What lunchbox staple was actually a delicacy in the early 1900’s? The answer is half nutty and also half fruity. 😉 Betty from Store 1189 in Barbourville, Kentucky, was our Associate Caller of the Day! She got Motivational Monday moving with her energy. Thanks for calling Betty (Wham-a-lam!). It’s a Motivational Monday, so Bo and Iyube have some advice on how to give yourself the perfect pep talk, or maybe pep song. A beat box version of The Eye of the Tiger using only Bo’s name as the notes may have happened on the show today. And we got to know Phyllis from Store 1585 in North Platte, Nebraska, a little better when she shared her Associate’s Story with us. We had Milestone Minute, National XYZ Day, Say Word and more on a Motivational Monday. Catch up with Bo and Iyube by playing today’s podcast.
We like closing tabs on our web browser. It feels good to get things done. But Coca-Cola is closing its Tab, for real. The soft drink company’s first diet soda, called “Tab,” is being retired after 60 years. Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll find something else to slide into that slot on the mod. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Matt at 2264 in Schenectady, New York. Thanks for opening the week for associate calls, Matt! Today is National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day, so take a note from Coke, and close some of those tabs! Clariss from Store 0686 in Fitzgerald, Georgia, wasn’t superstitious when she called in to finish these Stevie Wonder Lyrics. And actor John Lithgow has been on the third rock from the sun for 75 years as of today, so we look to him for our Motivational Quote of the Day, “Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.” That sounds like pretty good advice for a Motivational Monday! Antonio was flying solo in the studio with Rapid Questions, Social Media Highlights and, of course, tons of Associate Shoutouts. Start your week off right on The Night Show with Antonio.
Bo’s Impossible Question is a good one today. Let’s just say when someone serves you some advice, you’d better adjust your order right away. See if you can guess it before the check comes…er, before the show ends. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Daniel at Store 3150 in Council Bluff, Iowa. Have you heard that you can sing to Google now, and it will help you identify the song? They should have called it “Siingle.” (I must be the only one that gets it.) 😊 Margaret, Destiny and Faith called in from Store 639 in Brunswick, Georgia, with a shoutout for their boss on National Boss’s Day. And, we have to take their lead and shoutout all the bosses out there. Find out how people are celebrating Halloween in 2020. Iyube has some of the top ways people are planning to have some spooky fun. It was definitely a No Format Friday. We had Milestone Minute, Trending News, Associate Shoutouts and Celebrity Chit Chat with Camila Cabello. Listen now!
WooOOOah! Our show cut off mid-air. (You know you sang that last part.) We had a glitch in the matrix, and part of our show stopped streaming in the stores. But don’t worry. We have a podcast, so listen to catch up with Antonio now! Today’s Associate Caller of the Day was Jameel at Store 6286 in Killeen, Texas, and he was pumped about it! Sometimes we have special musical guests, but today we had an extra-special interview. Russell and Geo from Code Spark join us to talk about their two new songs, including “Plus It Up” about Walmart +. These two associates are also in Walmart’s a cappella group, Sparkapella, and of course, they have a new song, too, with “Walmart Will Get You,” a Halloween-themed bop that’ll give you "Thriller" vibes. We also have Social Media Highlights from Store 3829 in Johnson City, Tennessee – they are proud to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals – and from Store 583 in Oneida, Tennessee, who shouted out their maintenance team. We don’t know what’s going on in Tennessee, but they have a really good social media game. Antonio was flying solo on a No Format Friday with Friday Feud, Did You Know?, lots of Associate Shoutouts and more. Listen now to hear what you missed!
Laura Phillips is a lifelong retailer and long-term Walmart associate. She leads our Global Sourcing and U.S. Manufacturing teams and played a huge role in our virtual Open Call event this year. Entrepreneurs and small businesses from 49 states pitched products manufactured in the U.S. to our merchants – and 4,800 were invited to marketplace. These suppliers have come up with innovative new items to meet the unique needs of our customers in several categories. Laura is a true merchant and is passionate about working with our customers, suppliers and associates. She joined The Huddle with John Furner to talk about how she started her career at Walmart as a store intern – and how we can continue making a positive difference in our country by investing in American jobs.
It’s Be Bald and Be Free Day, so Bo and Iyube reminisce on the day each of them decided to shave those domes. Be glad you have well-shaped heads, fellas. Tisha from Store 6394 in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, was our Associate Caller of the Day, and she had a request and a shoutout! Did you get in line for Justin Bieber’s custom Croc sandals? Some customers got kicked out of the virtual line, and they sold out, fast. Some people are saying they came for one kind of Croc and got another. 😬 In Detective Product, Danielle from Store 2805 in Emporia, Virginia, guessed it right. Maybe Bo’s clues LED her to the answer. WATT? It was a great show today with Bo and Iyube in the studio. We had I Can’t Make This Stuff Up, Milestone Minute, news and more on a Rollback Wednesday!
Mike from Store 1338 in Columbus, Georgia, gave us our inspirational show title today. It’s not a Motivational Monday, but it is a Rollback Wednesday, so we rolled it back for some motivation. Thanks, Mike! Tomorrow is National Grouch Day, and Antonio admits he actually likes Oscar the Grouch. People always go to him for wisdom, because “he’s got all the garbage.” HA! Good one. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Lucas at Store 665 in Hanson, Kentucky, and we shouted him out all day! Thanks for calling, Lucas. Today’s InstaRewind was so easy that if you don’t know it backwards, you don’t know it forward. And our old friend, Jake from Store 102 in Stuttgart, Arkansas, called in to get it right. He also had a shoutout to “102 for all the morning crew for everything we do.” Ok, Jake. It ain’t a crime to rhyme. 😎 It was a great show today with What’s Good Walmart?, Did You Know?, Social Media Highlights, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more. Catch up with Antonio and Iyube in the studio right now!
Andrew at Store 2126 in Mililani, Hawaii, was our Associate Caller of the Day, and Bo thinks he may be the first ACotD from the Aloha State. Mahalo, Andrew! Iyube is back in the studio, and he’s pumped, because his Lakers won the championship, so he was in a pretty good mood (understatement). Is a Jackalope real? The fabled western American jack rabbit with antelope horns may not be a real creature, but it is a real word. That’s why it’s today’s Say Word. We’ve got some tips to help you heighten your five senses. Have you ever smelled something so strong you tasted it? Bo has! It didn’t sound pleasant. He didn’t tell us exactly what it was, so it didn’t make sense to ask. We had Milestone Minute, Health Myths Even Some Doctors Believe, Bo’s Impossible Question and whole lot more on a Motivational Monday.
Melanie from Store 7188 in Darlington, South Carolina, called in with a question for Antonio: “Am I the first caller of the day?” Why, yes. Yes you are, Melanie. You’re the Associate Caller of the Day, and thank you for being a Walmart believer! Antonio recently visited Store 1 in Rogers, Arkansas, so he interviewed Dana and Donald on the maintenance team and recorded it! It sounds like they had a good time. One of our Social Media Highlights of the day goes to Renee in the bakery at Store 5388 in League City, Texas. She has what it takes to spook out your cakes. Her Halloween cake designs are scary good, so make sure you check them out on Walmart World’s Facebook or Instagram. Hey, where’s Iyube? His Los Angeles Lakers won their seventeenth championship, so he may still be celebrating. I’m sure we’ll hear about it the next time he’s in the studio. Not to worry! Antonio brought that early morning energy on a Motivational Monday. He had Finish the Lyrics, Rapid Questions and a lot of Associate Shoutouts. Listen in and catch up with The Night Show today!
It’s Friday, which means everything is better, and Bo knows it! To celebrate, he turns up the volume on his Impossible Question of the Day: The average person does this 5.5 hours per day. What is it? Our Associate Caller of the Day is Louie from Store 7087 in Salem, Indiana, who just wants to say something nice to his store manager – but Bo and Iyube insist on serenading him! In other Friday goodness, the pair is pretty happy that Fleetwood Mac is still the source of rumors, as the band’s song Dreams sits in the top spot on iTunes. In the Milestone Minute, we celebrate some extraordinary associate anniversaries, with Elva Cameron from Store 678 in Newport, Tennessee, celebrating her 45th year with Walmart! Wow. And with Halloween fast approaching, it’s time to learn about candy cohorts. What candy is your generation’s favorite? Finally, Bo sits down with Surfaces to talk album art and stage chemistry. Start your weekend on a high note with the Bo Show!
Things are revving up as the weekend approaches. Antonio celebrates National Motorcycle Ride Day by going kickstand up and training wheels off! And our first Associate Caller of the Day is Em from Store 5339 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who introduces Antonio to a metal band that may or may not be fronted by babies. We know you’re interested. In other news, Bruno Mars celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday, and probably didn’t feel like doing anything. But hey, age brings clarity, so maybe he’s out there buying flowers and holding hands while he’s got the chance! We have a Social Media Highlight from Store 3339 in Vineland, New Jersey, where Halloween is already underway. And congratulations to Zee from Store 1552 in Salisbury, North Carolina, for 25 years of service! What an incredible commitment to the Walmart family. Finally, check out Iyube’s Top Five at Five and hear how Chance from Store 5260 in Rogers, Arkansas, fares in Friday Feud. Start your weekend the right way, right here, on the Night Show with Antonio!
It wasn’t too late this afternoon to get those Van Halen requests in to commemorate Eddie’s passing. (I don’t feel tardy.) Did you know EVH couldn’t read sheet music? Bo and Iyube discuss this, and they remember his greatness with an on-air tribute. Listen now, so you don’t hear about it later. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Kathy from Store 3896 in Peoria, Arizona, with a shoutout for her OGP team. In Detective Product, Nicole from Store 2056 in Saratoga Springs, New York, called in to “grill” Bo and Iyube about the answer. The “steaks” aren’t very high, so it was fine. We had I Can’t Make This Stuff Up, Milestone Minute and lots of Associate Shoutouts on our Rollback Wednesday show. Listen to catch up with Bo and Iyube today.
The rock and roll world is saddened with the loss of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen, so Antonio and Iyube started off the show with the Van Halen classic, “Jump.” And as we learn from that song, you’ve got to roll with the punches and get to what’s real, so we might as well jump (JUMP!) into the show with our Associate Caller of the Day, Jay, from Store 6962 in Timberville, Virginia. Jay said he was here to serve us, and he helped us dance the night away. It is the Night Show, after all. Everybody wants some Van Halen today, like Becky from Store 5282 in Greece, New York, and we felt like we should roll with it full blast and top down. Yesterday, Antonio had the chance to visit the amazing associates at Store 1 in Rogers, Arkansas who showed him some of the education that he missed. So, he had a special shoutout for Liz, Damion and Venuz, because his homework was never quite like this. Jump back! What’s that sound? Easy! It’s just a backwards song, or as we call it – InstaRewind, and Adrian from Store 2560 in Berlin, Maryland, called in and got it right. While it may be true that today is your tomorrow, for us, it’s Rollback Wednesday. And we had the best of both worlds with This and That, Social Media Highlights and Associate Shoutouts. Where have all the good times gone? They’re right here, so listen to the podcast and catch up with Antonio and Iyube…right now.
Bo’s Impossible Question will have you chugging a cup of Joe while you sing Willie Nelson. When you hear the answer, you’ll get it. Lori from Store 11 in Mountain Home, Arkansas, called in to shout out her Pharmacy teammates and became today’s Associate Caller of the Day! Iyube has some ways to make your Monday more positive. From laughing to dancing to limiting phone time, these tips will make you smile. In our Milestone Minute, we shout out Glenda Brewer at Store 45 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, celebrating 35 years and Kaye Wilkinson at Store 111 in Chanute, Kansas, for celebrating 45 years of working for Walmart. And, our friend, Heather, dropped in to share her chat with Scott at DC 6009 in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, whose Walmart anniversary helps him remember his wedding anniversary. Hey, whatever works, Scott! Plus, we had special guest, AJ Sanchez, join us to talk about cyber security, and we got him to tell his Associate Story, too. There’s all that and a whole lot more with Bo and Iyube in the studio on a Motivational Monday. Click play to get motivated!
Your favorite Night Show host, dancing sensation and all-around positive force was born on this day some [undisclosed number] of years ago. HBD, Antonio! Our Associate Caller of the Day was Ricky at Walmart Store 3717 in Nashville, Tennessee. He had a shoutout for his overnight crew and a happy birthday for Antonio. You’re going to think we made this up, but we didn’t. Antonio’s birthday is also National Get Funky Day and National Do Something Nice Day. That seems fitting to us! Lonnie from Store 6958 in Cameron, North Carolina, also called in to with birthday wishes, but we had some birthday wishes for her, because today is her birthday, too!!! And of course there was a lot more on the show today. Special guest, AJ Sanchez visited to talk about cyber security and play Rapid Questions. We had a Motivational Quote from Susan B. Anthony, Social Media Highlights, Associate Shoutouts and more on a Motivational Monday.
Antonio had Peanut Butter Energy on his show this morning, so, not to be out done, Bo gave us the news on Peanuts: Charlie Brown and Snoopy turn 70 today. (Oh, brother.) Bo has some more birthday news, but it’s a secret, so you have to listen to hear what it is. Shhhhh! Don’t tell Antonio. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Angela at Store 462 in Alvin, Texas, and she had a shoutout for everyone in her store. Have you ever just stood there and watched the wet wall in Produce as it mists? Admit it. You have! Well, today’s your day, because it’s National Produce Misting Day. Yes, that’s apparently a thing, so take a moment to appreciate the spectacle (as Iyube called it) of the produce being misted in your store. And on Celebrity Chit Chat, Bo talks to Dua Lipa about the personal aspect of her music. We had Milestone Minute, Associate Shoutouts and the Top Five Signs You Really Need to Clean Out Your Refrigerator. All that definitely sounds like a No Format Friday. Catch up with Bo and Iyube right now!
We wouldn’t be able to do what we do every day without our truck drivers. They keep our stores, Fulfillment Centers and Distribution Centers in stock, and have a pulse on the whole business. Sam Walton used to go and sit with drivers early in the morning for a couple of hours to listen and learn about what’s really going on, because they see it all. Steve Harper has a great story of how he became a Road Team member - from owning a flower shop to now training our drivers. Listen to this new episode of The Huddle to hear John talk with him about the culture of truck driving at Walmart, how we hire the best of the best, and the friendships he’s made through the years.
Our Associate Caller of the Day was Kristina from Store 1932 in Ellsworth, Maine, with a shoutout for her teammate, “Jif,” because he has the energy of peanut butter. Well, Kristina, you had peanut butter energy today, too, and it gave us life this morning. Our Social Media Highlight of The Day goes to the team at Store 4529 in New Lenox, Illinois, as they show us a witchy way to do the Dougie. They can teach me how to Dougie, teach, teach me how to Dougie. On Did You Know? we learned that Beverly Hills was named after Beverly Farms, Massachusetts, which was named after Beverly in Yorkshire, England. And that town was named for a colony of beavers. We wonder if the Beverly Hillbillies ever thought about that while swimming the concrete pond. What in tarnation? Today was Beth’s last day in the studio for a while, and we’ll miss hearing her on the air. We had News, Who Sung It?, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more on a No Format Friday.
The impossible was possible today! Brian, a customer from Evergreen, Colorado, called in and guessed Bo’s Impossible Question at the top of the show. Maybe Bo should change it to the Not-Quite-Impossible Question or maybe the Anything-is-Possible Question. We’ll consider all suggestions. In Milestone Minute, we had Heidi from Store 100 in Bentonville, Arkansas, celebrating 35 years; Carolyn at Store 14 in Lebanon, Missouri, celebrating 40 years; and Helen at Store 338 in Lamar, Missouri, celebrating an amazing 45 years with the company. Let’s hear it for all of our long-term associates! Robert Pattinson says he likes that he could mess up Batman, because it puts pressure on him to do well in the role. Sounds like he’s been on a store walk with the Market Manager. Amirite? Hey, have you ever adjusted your Fitbit for raking leaves? Iyube has Five (Funny) Things About October he wants to tell you, and you may want to listen, because they’re pretty hilarious. It’s Rollback Wednesday, and we had Detective Product, I Can’t Make This Stuff Up, Associate Shoutouts and much, much more. Plus, you don’t have to listen until the end of the show to get the Unpossible…er, we mean “Impossible” Question, but we’d appreciate if you did anyway.
In Did You Know, we discovered that it's illegal to own a pet hamster in Hawaii. The climate is so good for the loveable rodents that if just a few escaped, they could start wild colonies and devastate the native crops. We thought is was just because they didn’t like those little wheels. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Matthew at Walmart Store 1030 in Lancaster, South Carolina, and he had a dedication for one of his co-workers to hold on for one more day! It’s national chewing gum day, so Antonio, Beth and Iyube got to jawing about their favorite gum flavors. Listen to hear which chewy treats have the gang flapping their gums. And if you can’t bear to wait for Halloween, you need to check out one of the Social Media Highlights of the Day. Walmart Store 1991 in Bloomington, Indiana, did a little panda dance to show off some of their great costume deals. Check them out on Instagram at @walmart_1991_bloomington. It was a wacky Rollback Wednesday with InstaRewind, This or That and, of course, Associate Shoutouts. Listen now to catch up!
Iyube showed up this morning on cloud nine. His favorite team, the L.A. Lakers, are going to the finals. Wait a minute. Isn’t Iyube from Miami? He sure is, and all his friends are Miami Heat fans…including Bo! You may have to tune in to The Bo Show throughout the finals to see how this in-studio rivalry plays out. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Adrian from Walmart Store 1777 in Reading, Pennsylvania. He gave a shoutout to a couple of his teammates, and another one for the L.A. Lakers! He may have been talked into that last one. Today’s Say Word from down under has our guys ready to parrr-tay. You’ve got to listen if you want to hear what it is and how to pronounce it. Bo’s Australian accent is…well, you just have to hear it. 😂Phyllis at Store 1585 in North Platte, Nebraska, told her Associate Story to us, and it had everything: break-ins, 80’s rock music and a non-shedding onion. A what??? Listen to her story and find out. Today was a Motivational Monday with Bo’s Impossible Question, Milestone Minute, Top Ten early morning habits to wake up, Associate Shoutouts and a bunch more. Listen now!
September is winding down, so if you wanted to get those shoutouts in September, today was the day to do it. And boy did you! Our associates kept Antonio and Beth busy answering the phones today, and they had a blast! The Night Show Associate Caller of the Day was Bill at 5316 in Saginaw, Texas, and naturally, he had a shoutout for his co-worker, Stacy. Our Social Media Highlight of the Day goes out to Patricia at Walmart Store 2359 in Ashtabula, Ohio, so here’s a shoutout for 25 years working for Walmart. We had associates calling in to give shoutouts, and we gave out some of our own. Of course, we played Finish the Lyrics, talked about the news and a whole lot more, but today was all about the shoutouts. So listen now to hear all the shoutout love for our associates!
Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day makes us wonder what you might “Pop” into Walmart for when a hurricane is on the way. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Shannon who works with Paper, Pets and Chemicals at Store 684 in Lexington, Tennessee. She wanted a shoutout for her whole store! You got it, Shannon. Iyube gave us 10 fall activities you can still do in 2020, which gives Bo the opportunity to tell him how he can slingshot a whole pumpkin. But when it lands, will it still be squash? And, in Celebrity Chit Chat, Bo catches up with Halsey about her new album. We had Walmart News, Milestone Minute and a whole lot more on a No Format Friday. Catch up with Bo and Iyube now!
Today is National One-Hit Wonder Day, so Antonio, Beth and Iyube mixed some one-hit wonders into the show. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Hakeeme at Store 713 in Dade City, Florida. It’s always good to hear from you, Hakeeme. Your energy was a “thriller” and a great way to kick off a No Format Friday. Our Social Media Highlight of The Day is for Chris at Store 3339 in Vineland, New Jersey. A customer appreciated him for exceeding expectations. Thank you, Chris, for being a great example of Happy to Help! And, this weekend, Beth picked out our Top 5 at 5. She’s missing some concerts (aren’t we all?), so she picked song from artists she would have wanted to see this year. Maybe next year, Beth, but you can check it out on Spotify and imagine your own concert! We had Associate Shoutouts, Friday Feud and all sorts of fun, so click play and listen now!
Emily, a pharmacist from Store 4681 in Tampa, Florida, called in and couldn’t believe we’re still doing a live show. Bo tried to trick her into thinking it was an answering machine, but she’s too smart for that. She had some great news about flu shots and the Wellness events coming up this weekend. Listen to catch what she had to say. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Dawn from Store 3078 East Brunswick, New Jersey, and she had tons of excitement! "Rolling Stone" has re-done their top 500 albums of all-time list, and Marvin Gaye tops off this great list with his critically acclaimed album “What’s Going On.” We say right on to that! (You’ll get that if you’re a fan of the album.) In Detective Product, a loyal Walmart customer, Krista, who shops at store #358 in Alma, Arkansas, actually cracked the case today! A customer? Hey, that may be a record on Detective Product. 😉 We had Associate Shoutouts, Milestone Minute, news and a lot more with Bo and Iyube in the studio on a Rollback Wednesday.
So, we have a writer who writes these podcast descriptions; that means he gets to celebrate National Punctuation Day…period. (Antonio and Beth talked about it, but not enough in his opinion.) See if you can find all standard English punctuation marks in today’s description – after you click “play,” of course. Our Associate Caller of the Day [Michael] called in from Walmart Store 2799 in Clinton, Maryland, and he brought the exclamation point! Tyler joins us with a What’s Good Walmart? InstaRewind: Monica at Store 3608 in Madison, Ohio, dashed in to give us the real-time answer. Today’s Social Media highlight of the day goes out to Rezan at Walmart Store 768 in Katy, Texas – his TikTok drew our eyes and showed us what it would look like if Walmart was anime. And in {This or That}, Beth and Antonio played a version of Deal or no Deal and asked if you’d rather be a hero or a villain. We had Associate Shoutouts, Did You Know? and a lot more on a Rollback Wednesday.
Today’s Say Word was smellfungus. It’s not what you’re thinking. These aren’t bad portobellos, so don’t be a smellfungus. Listen to find out. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Sara from Store 2940 in West Monroe, Louisiana, and she was definitely not a smellfungus about her team lead Cody. Hey, Eagles fans, how much do you boo your own team? Iyube was a bit of a smellfungus about Philly’s prerecorded boos this past weekend. And, John from Store 6286 in Killeen, Texas, called and gave us a twofer. He got Bo’s Impossible Question correct and gave us his Associate Story. Nothing to be a smellfungus about there! Bo and Iyube were in the studio with Milestone Minute, Associate Shoutouts, plenty of smellfungi and more on a Motivational Monday.
Bill Murray is 70 today, so we thought he should provide our Motivational Quote of the Day, "The secret is to have a sense of yourself, your real self, your unique self.” Now, that’s a secret worth telling. Our Associate Caller of the Day was Donna from Store 5028 in Toledo, Ohio, who had a shoutout for her third shift crew. We know they appreciate you, too, Donna! Start spreading the news. It’s National New York Day today, so Antonio and Beth sang a duet with Ol’ Blue Eyes. I want to be a part of it, New York, New York! Curnetta at Store 3331 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, called in to play Finish the Lyrics and got a home town shoutout from Beth. We had Associate Shoutouts, Social Media Highlights, Did You Know and a whole lot more on a Motivational Monday. Catch up with Antonio and Beth now!
Today, Iyube shared five facts about cheeseburgers for National Cheeseburger Day. Bo learned about all the ways to put cheese on a burger, and Iyube learned about Jimmy Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” Which way do I steer? Our Associate Caller of the Day was Andrew from Store 805 in Fenton, Missouri, calling in to give a shoutout to all his Online Grocery crew for doing an awesome job. Her is performing at the Daytime Emmys this Sunday. Iyube said, “Have you ever seen Her perform live?” Then, Bo said, “Have you ever seen him perform live?” If all this sounds like nonsense, listen to the podcast, so Bo and Iyube can make sense of it for you…kind of. In Yes or No Way Bo!, James from Store 4450 in Louisville, Kentucky, didn’t do so well, but we sure enjoyed hearing his dolphinese (maybe dolphish?) interpretation of dolphin names. Yeah, it got weird. He definitely earned his shoutout to David, his acting store manager. In Celebrity Chit Chat, Bo talked to Imagine Dragons about their new album. Plus, Walmart News, Popular Ways to Order coffee and a whole lot more on a wacky No Format Friday.
Panera announced they’ll be selling Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese, and Michael Bolton is going to sing a parody of one of his hit songs, the remake of Percy Sledge’s "When a Man Loves A Woman," called "When a Mac Loves Broccoli Cheddar." Beth and Antonio cheesed it up by singing their renditions of the crooner’s classic AND his cheesy remake. That’s cheddar to our ears. Juan at Store 658 in Rome, Georgia, called in to shout out his OGP partner, Giovani, but we surprised Juan by making him the Associate Caller of the Day! Today is National Cheeseburger Day, so the gang kept the cheesiness going by talking about their favorite cheeseburgers. What’s your favorite cheeseburger? Our Social Media Highlight of The Day is from Store 3218 in Spanaway, Washington. They’re so excited about Walmart+, they expressed it through dance. Check it out on Instagram with #walmart3218. Antonio, Beth and Iyube were in the studio today with Friday Feud, Did You Know?, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more on a No Format Friday. Check it out! Today’s show was gouda.
Throwbacks on the air, Rollbacks in the store and Iyube over there (in the studio). Does that make it a Throllback Wednesday? Today’s Associate Caller of the Day is Kayla from Store 425 from Brent, Alabama. Thanks for calling, Kayla! Iyube had the top 5 signs your vitamins are too strong. Iyube’s joke game may be too strong, because he had Bo throlling…sorry, rolling…at some of his super answers. On Detective Product, Matthew from Store 1030 in Lancaster, South Carolina, was “tuned in” to today’s item. Matthew also wanted to get a good “reception” to Jill from his store. If you think those are clues, you have to listen to find out. Bo and Iyube were in the studio with I Can’t Make This Stuff Up, What’s Good Walmart?, Shoutouts and more on a Throllback Wednesday…Whoops! We mean Rollback Wednesday, or do we? 😉
Respect for the Individual is one of our core values. As we continue taking steps to be an even more inclusive company, it’s important to constantly listen and educate ourselves about race and racism in our country. On this new episode of The Huddle with John Furner, he talks with Deena Hayes-Greene, Co-Founder of the Racial Equity Institute. She has a fantastic story and is so passionate about her work. Listen to this new episode to better understand how you can become an ally.
Cheetos brought back their Halloween-style bag of bones, but Antonio and Iyube like hot Cheetos so much they put hot sauce on regular flavor. Have you tried this Cheeto cheat? Kristy from at Store 1790 in Monroe, Michigan, was our Associate Caller of the Day, calling in to wish her Overnight Support Manager Brandon a happy birthday. In This or That, Antonio admits that if Iyube brings out a Monopoly board, there’s a chance he’ll play opossum just so he doesn’t have to play. No free parking on The Night Show. In Social Media Highlights, Walmart Radio welcomes Najaah to our Walmart Family! She’s the new People Lead at Store 3422 in Deptford, New Jersey, and we’re happy to see her on social. Antonio, Beth and Iyube were live in the studio today with InstaRewind, Did You Know?, Associate Shoutouts and a lot more on a Rollback Wednesday.
Bo and Iyube discuss Women’s World bad husband habits. So, are they the perfect husbands? They didn’t do so bad on the quiz, but we’d have to check with their better halves to make sure. Maybe they can call in on “Wed”nesday to tell us. 😏 Our Associate Caller of the Day was Lisa from Store 5327 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a shoutout to her whole 6 to 3 crew. Today’s Say Word might have caused a little bruhaha. Listen to today’s show to hear the word that created all the upheaval. Ebony called in, because she never hears her store number on Walmart Radio. Never say never, Ebony! Because of you, Store 2257 in Houston, Texas, was called out live on the air. We got to know Tiffany from Store 3394 in Atlantic, Iowa, a little better on An Associate’s Story. Plus, Milestone Minute, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more on a Motivational Monday.
We’ve got a Night Show Shoutout for all of our truck drivers. It’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and we think our Walmart truck drivers are the best in the biz! So, to all you Walmart drivers, we appreciate you! M&M’s has a classic mix for you. At first, we thought classic mix was a Spotify playlist, but, they’re putting chocolate, peanut and peanut butter flavored M&M’s all in one bag. Sounds like a grab bag. As in, we want to grab a bag and eat it. When Jalessa from Store 5968 in Washington, D.C., called in to shout out her overnight and mod teams, she had no idea she’d be today’s Associate Caller of the Day. Thanks for calling in and sharing some love for your team, Jalessa! It’s Motivational Monday, and Antonio and Beth were in the studio with Social Media Shoutouts, Rapid Questions, Did You Know?, Associate Shoutouts and more. Catch up with the Night Show today.
If you ever wanted to guess one of Bo’s Impossible Questions, today was your day! Iyube was “signing away” hints all over the place. He’d better “check” himself before Bo “bounces” him. Are those hints? You’ll have to listen to find out. Sherri at Store 5731 in Locust Grove, Virginia, is a proud Front End Coach, and she had a big shoutout for her Store Manager and all her Cashiers. It must have been a long week, because Iyube told Bo the top 10 best cities to retire in. Hey, they can’t retire! They have a show on Monday. 😊 Scott from Store 4378 in Onley, Virginia, called in with some amazing energy. He shouted out a bunch of associates in the store, and made sure to make us all jealous of the fresh oysters that his area is known for this time of year. Shucks! We aren’t there to try them. And, Bo caught up with Katy Perry on Celebrity Chit Chat to talk about her new song, Daisies, among other things. Special guest, Iyube, is in the studio on a No Format Friday, so hit play to wrap this week up with a Bo(w).
Sometimes, silence can be loud. Antonio offered 11 seconds of silence in remembrance of September 11. Dr. Cory from Store 2405 in Hamburg, New York, was the Associate Caller of the Day, showing love to toy department managers around the nation. In news, Antonio and Beth revealed that America managed to Keep Up with the Kardashians, as the show is going off the air after 14 years. On social, we saw a shoutout to Diego from Store 2977 in Arlington, Texas, who was just promoted to a meat and produce Academy trainer! Congratulations, Diego! And what could be more perfect than this factoid: Carole Baskin, of Tiger King fame, is going on “Dancing With the Stars” – where her first dance will be performed to the song “Eye of the Tiger.” Yes, that's really happening. We also heard some emotional goodbyes from associates who are leaving their stores for promotions – but it doesn’t mean they won’t miss the memories they’ve made. Plus, we shouted out Asheem, from Store 1847 in Ocala, Florida, who is a true jack of all trades. This guy can work anywhere in the store! Listen to all that, and more, right now on No Format Friday.
Joe from Store 838 in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, called in with a question for Bo and Iyube: What’s your favorite Walmart smell? Joe likes opening the cases of trashcans, because they have a fresh smell (ironic?). Bo went with fresh baked bread, but Iyube needed some time to think about it. If you see him wandering around a store sniffing things, let us know. We’ll come get him. “Rockstar” by DaBaby is officially the song of the summer. Is it on your playlist? Our Associate Caller of the day is Rich from Store 777 in West Orange, Texas, and it’s also Alma from Store 5807 in Compton, California. That’s not a mistake. We had two Callers of the Day, because we can! Today we had Detective Product, National Day Highlights, I Can’t Make this Stuff Up and a lot more on a Rollback Wednesday. Press Play to hear what Bo and Iyube had to say today.
Have you always wanted your own candy factory? Well, cheer up, Charlie. Jelly Belly’s creator is retiring, and he’s holding a contest to give away a candy factory, just like a real-life Willy Wonka. The suspense is terrible…I hope it’ll last. Autumn at Store 1626 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was today’s Associate Caller of the Day! With the release of Oatmeal Cream Pie Cereal, Antonio, Beth and Iyube discuss their favorite treats, from Star Crunch to Zebra Cakes. (They forgot Fudge Rounds, but we can still be friends.) In an especially sweet segment, we celebrate the team in Plymouth, Indiana. They have 8 associates that are the original team from the store opening 27 years ago. Debbie, Pauline, Judy, Joyce, Sandy, Amy, Kathy and Belinda have worked together for nearly three decades! Now, that’s “teaming!” It’s Rollback Wednesday, and all our night team was back in the studio with Remember When, InstaRewind, Associate Shoutouts and a whole lot more. Listen to the podcast to catch up with the The Night Show crew.
Jeopardy legend that may take over for Alex Trebek. Who is Ken Jennings? In Entertainment News, Bo revealed that the all-time Jeopardy winner has joined the show as a consulting producer, possibly making him next in line to be host. Marcus from Store 1380 in Las Vegas, New Mexico, called in to be our Associate Caller of the Day! Do you dance spontaneously when you hear your favorite song? A new study suggests that it’s almost impossible not to bust a move when your jam comes on the air. (We see your dances on TikTok…and we like it!) Justin from Store 1327 in Madison, Indiana, called in to shout out his whole store! Bo was flying solo with a great show today including Say Word, natural tips for pain relief and a whole lot more on Labor Day.
Associates don’t take today off, so neither does Antonio. He’s here to get you going on a Motivational Monday. Zachary and Brittany from Store 1060 in Morganton, North Carolina, called in to become our Associate Callers of the Day! This AP duo is keeping things safe and working hard on Labor Day. Back in 1991, MC Hammer’s cartoon, Hammerman, premiered on ABC, so Antonio thought today’s Motivational Quote of the Day should come from Hammer. “We got to pray just to make it today.” (Who remembers that song?) The Social Media Highlight of the Day comes from Randall and Tammy at Store 722 in Carrollton, Georgia. You’ve gotta catch them singing in the amazing acoustics of the truck. Moving freight never sounded so good. Charlie form Store 2632 in Phoenix, Arizona, has been with Walmart for just two months, and he called in to shout out a bunch of his co-workers just for being awesome. He hasn’t been here very long, but he loves the environment in his store. We’re glad to hear from you, Charlie! Antonio brought the energy solo today with Finish the Lyrics, Rapid Questions and a BUNCH of associate calls.
Today’s show was full of surprises. Erica at Store 1014 in Independence, Missouri, got a special surprise today. Bo asked for callers to give away a Gabby Barrett CD. A customer called in just to win it for Erica! You’ve got to hear it. Walmart customers are the best! Jessica from Store 906 in Gallup, New Mexico, called in first, so you know what that means. She’s the Associate Caller of the Day! For the love of The Godfather: Part 3, we’re getting a new director’s cut. Our resident movie buff, Iyube, has an interesting piece of trivia about the movie. Lex has a shoutout for her OGP team in Dallas, Texas, Store 5889, and she knows her business telling Bo that water is the #1 pickup item in her store. Can the foods you microwave help your summer bod? Bo thinks they’re helping his winter bod. You also need to hear Iyube’s passion for NEVER microwaving pizza. EVER. He means it. Bo’s got this weekend’s Top 10 countdown. Check out his full list on our Spotify playlist. We’ve got Yes or No Way Bo!, Celebrity Chit Chat with Gabby Barrett and a lot more on a No Format Friday.
It’s Queen Bey’s birthday today. So, make sure to run the world by adding some Yoncé to your (Sasha) fierce playlist today. It’s never too early for a “Merry Christmas,” right? Our Associate Caller of the Day, Kat from Store 1113 in London, Kentucky, wanted to hear Feliz Navidad, because they just like it. OK. Mulan comes out today. Are you going to watch it tonight? You know Antonio will! Store 3829 in Johnson City, Tennessee, gets a Social Media Highlight of the Day for the their cute “Hocus Pocus” display. Wait, is it Halloween decoration time already? Scary. 😏 Andrew at 1956 in Billings, Montana, had a shoutout for Matthew who is “the best Overnight Assistant this store has.” You hear that? Better step up your game to get on Matthew’s level. Bo’s got your Top 5 countdown this weekend, so make sure to listen for that. We have Friday Feud, Did You Know?, associate shoutouts and a whole lot more with Antonio, Beth and Iyube in the studio on a No Format Friday.
Bo admits to being a pretty good bowler back in the day. Wait! Antonio said he used to be a really good bowler today on The Night Show. Who’s up for a Walmart Radio bowling team? Mariah from Store 4475 in Olathe, Kansas, was the Associate Caller of the Day with a shoutout for her whole frontend team. With all the delivery we’re doing these days, Iyube prepared a list of the six most common things that go wrong when folks order delivery. He may admit to getting lost while delivering za back when he was a delivery driver. Was he lost? You be the judge. Plus, Detective Product, Bo Knows, entertainment news and a whole lot more on a Rollback Wednesday.
We are so excited to announce the launch of our membership program, Walmart+!

~ The Huddle with John Furner ~
Today was George Floyd’s memorial. Our country paused to pay its respects to someone taken from us so unjustly. Earlier this week, John, along with millions of others, participated in #BlackOutTuesday. The purpose was to elevate voices of the Black community, show solidarity and reflect on how we can all take a strong stance against racism. Store Manager NaToya Champion shared a really powerful message about what each of us can do. Be empathetic. Initiate conversations. Ask, “Are you okay?” And now more than ever, listen. We’re so grateful to have leaders like NaToya serving our communities and setting a positive example.
