It’s National Napping Day, and after springing forward, we sure needed it. Bo discussed the five best ways to adjust to daylight saving time, but we’re going to stick with a good nap for now. Bo cheered up the folks in a Minnesota Sam’s Club with some Pump Up the Jam to get through the snow storm, which incidentally, turned out to be a great ice breaker.

In Milestone Minute, Donald from Store 677 in Dyersburg, Tennessee, and Willie from Store 733 in Valley, Alabama, celebrated 30 years, while Cheryl from Store 4109 in Bossier City, Louisiana, is going strong with a hearty 35.

Additional highlights included proper use of “lickety-split,” Bo’s on air power nap, and Bo’s Impossible Question of the Day which asked: What product do 60% of people over 60 still use, but only 30% of people under 30 use?
