This Tanner and Friends episode is a chaos‑in‑the‑best‑way Thursday: chihuahuas, gas prices, TikTok trouble, Zach Top backlash, humbled parents, ice cream for every kid, and a raccoon‑wielding bar revenge plot all packed into one show.

Tanner kicks off International Chihuahua Appreciation Day, saluting the world’s smallest purebred pups for their outsized personalities, then moves into Need to Know News: lawmakers are pressuring Governor Bob Ferguson to pause Washington’s 55‑cents‑a‑gallon gas tax as prices inch back toward record highs, though he’s blaming global oil markets and President Trump’s energy policies instead of budging. Nationally, police warn parents about a TikTok trend where teens sit or perch on open car windows while moving—highlighted by a New Jersey teen who fell and was seriously injured—and in country music, Zach Top sparks viral backlash on Bert Kreischer’s podcast by calling sobriety “a fad” people post about for attention and suggesting folks should just “drink a normal amount” for life.

The phones light up for “When did your kids make you feel uncool?” with Haley from Puyallup realizing she can’t stomach fair rides like her daughter anymore and Tricia from Buckley getting called “so lame” for skipping Dairy Queen after a long day. Tanner shares a poll showing 56% of adults feel cooler now than in high school and argues it’s actually “cool” to care less what people think, noting that the same Puyallup kids who mocked his country fandom in school are now at Morgan Wallen shows. Good Vibes brings in little wins like Joseph from Tumwater being grateful for his girlfriend, a Fox Island mom hearing her daughter sing the National Anthem at a Rainiers game, twins agreeing on a TV show, and a Tacoma guy grabbing donuts for the whole crew—then features a Western Massachusetts ice‑cream truck owner whose one free cone for a short‑on-cash kid snowballs into global donations and a promise of free ice cream for all kids all summer.

Minute to Win It crowns Molly from Monroe as grand champion after she and her daughter correctly answer Chicago as the Windy City, Grey’s Anatomy at Grey Sloan, an octagon stop sign, Microsoft as Xbox’s maker, and Kenny Chesney’s “No Shoes Nation,” winning a four‑pack to both race night and the Memorial Day demo derby at Evergreen Speedway where their friend drives. The show then jumps into a debate inspired by Reba McEntire’s low‑key ranch wedding plans—complete with grand‑dogs as ring bearers and longhorns, donkeys, horses, and cats on site—and Tanner’s own engagement, as he and Kami decide whether their sweet but attention‑hungry black lab Lucy should be in their ceremony or will crash the vows demanding belly rubs.

Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right returns with Seth the IT MVP guessing prices on three “big ticket” oddities: a three‑foot Pepsi Yoda store display in SeaTac listed at $1,000 (“No haggling you will”), a 12‑foot wooden “lobster” sign in Mount Vernon going for $2,600 despite barely looking like a lobster, and a half‑confessional booth in Olympia priced at $5,000 that Tanner dubs the “tell me your secrets” booth since only one person gets a private room. Headline in a Haystack runs a “raccoon edition”—a pizzeria’s raccoon roll, a raccoon unleashed in a business, or a raccoon stealing and upgrading an old woman’s purse—where Dancing Danielle correctly picks the Kentucky man who released a wild raccoon into a bar in revenge for being kicked out, extending her streak to 25 while the show marvels at a guy already infamous for riding a mule into a liquor store and trying to break it out of impound intoxicated days later.

The episode closes with Tanner and Danielle making ACM Awards picks: they both back Ella Langley for Female Artist of the Year, Danielle rides with Luke Combs for Male Artist while Tanner plants his flag with hometown‑connected Zach Top, and they agree Morgan Wallen’s massive, record‑shattering I’m the Problem likely takes Album of the Year heading into Sunday’s Shania‑hosted show in Vegas.
