Bobby Bones Show discussed whether Amy had started calling any of the guys “big dog.”
Amy admitted she had not tried it yet and felt like she needed permission before using it. She explained that she had seen a woman on social media say that calling men “big dog” completely changed her relationships with them. Amy referenced a video from Rachel Samples, where she explained that using “big dog” when speaking to men made interactions easier and more positive. Amy said she read through the comments on the post and saw many men saying it would make their day to be called that. She suggested it could be casually used around the office, like greeting someone before the show or thanking someone in passing. The show talked about how “big dog” is often used when someone doesn’t know another person’s name. They debated whether it would be appropriate to use it with higher-ups or people she only briefly interacts with at work. Everyone agreed she should try it and report back.
The guys told her it should be delivered naturally and not in a performative way. The advice was to sandwich “big dog” between other words, like a compliment or a question, and immediately move on without pausing or waiting for a reaction. They emphasized that the tone should stay normal and that she shouldn’t laugh or draw attention to it. Email usage was ruled out, since writing “big dog” would feel too intentional and forced. The group agreed it only works in casual, passing, in-person conversations. They suggested trying it a few times over a longer period instead of all in one day and encouraged her to record the interactions if possible.
Specific scenarios were role-played, including asking quick questions in the hallway or making brief comments before continuing on. The key rule repeated throughout was no gaps before or after saying “big dog.”
