Tanner and Friends

Tanner and Friends continued Veterans Day’s Operation K9 Companion with more firsthand stories of how Northwest Battle Buddies helps veterans reclaim independence, connection, and everyday life. Eddie’s hope for his future service dog came down to two memorable words: “Just living.” Tanner encouraged Bull Nation to keep giving, invite others to participate, and help fund another partnership for a veteran battling PTSD.

Sam shared how his service dog, Rio, helped him move from isolation to working again as a truck driver, going to the gym at regular hours, and confidently visiting stores. He recalled seeing Rio strut beside him through Costco and deciding he could approach the experience with that same confidence. Now, he is looking forward to an Alaska cruise in 2027, something that once would have felt overwhelming.

Andrea spoke about the hope she has found while waiting to begin training and meet her service dog in early 2027. After years of rarely leaving home except for appointments, she is looking forward to a trusted companion, renewed freedom, and the possibility of traveling again. She described how receiving approval for the program brought an indescribable sense of optimism before she had even met her future partner.

Businesses stepped up with a major Veterans Day announcement from ATS Automation in Renton. As the company prepared to celebrate forty years in business, it pledged $25,000 to sponsor one full service dog. Tanner also highlighted Dutch Bros’ announced contribution of $1 from every drink sold at Washington locations that day, showing how businesses and their customers could take part in the effort together.

Nick explained how his black Lab, Jazz, helps him recognize rising anxiety, slow down, and stay present in public. After years of struggling with crowds and choosing to stay home, their nearly four-year partnership has helped him become more active, social, and comfortable connecting with others. He reminded listeners that a contribution of any size can help another veteran find that same sense of hope.

As individual donations continued arriving, Tanner launched a business challenge inspired by ATS Automation’s pledge. He offered to personally visit participating Pacific Northwest businesses donating more than $1,000 the following day to collect their checks or thank them in person. Throughout the morning, listeners were invited to text K9 to 877-989-5769 for a donation link and help Northwest Battle Buddies bring another veteran and service dog together.

Tanner and Friends continued Operation K9 Companion with a major milestone: reaching the $25,000 needed to fund the first service dog for a veteran through Northwest Battle Buddies. The morning also recognized the Marine Corps’ 251st birthday, while Bull Nation checked in with gratitude, rainy commute updates, and determination to keep the fundraiser moving toward dog number two. Green Thumb Donna contributed another $100 and challenged nurses and fellow medical workers to match her gift.

Nick shared how his service dog, Jazz, has helped him become more comfortable in public after years of struggling with crowds and keeping to himself. He described how the energetic black Lab notices changes in his mood and body language, checks in with him, and helps him slow down instead of rushing to escape an uncomfortable situation. Their partnership has made it easier to connect with people and enjoy being out in the world again.

Sam explained how his service dog, Rio, helped him move from isolation to working again as a truck driver, visiting stores, and going to the gym without scheduling everything around avoiding people. He recalled walking through Costco, seeing Rio confidently strutting beside him, and deciding he could carry himself the same way. Now, he is looking forward to an Alaska cruise in 2027 with his trusted partner by his side.

Eddie, who is preparing to enter training in early 2027, spoke about the exhaustion of constantly being on alert and his hopes for a different kind of everyday life. He praised Northwest Battle Buddies’ thorough application process and ongoing communication, explaining that he is looking forward to a trusted partner who can help him feel grounded and open the door to more experiences with his wife.

Tammy from Tacoma offered a family’s perspective, sharing how her father’s service dog, Jewel, helped him reconnect after decades of struggling with PTSD following his service in Vietnam. She described finally getting to know a joyful, engaged version of her dad as he joined birthday parties, holidays, and time with his grandchildren. After his death, members of the Northwest Battle Buddies community attended his service with their dogs, reflecting the lasting support her family found through the program.

DL described how his chocolate Lab, Atlas, helped him regain the confidence to face the world and enjoy life with his children. Learning to recognize Atlas’s signals also helped him better understand his own anxiety, including a memorable moment when the dog helped ground him during fireworks. His proudest change was deeply personal: rebuilding a relationship with his son, who now considers him his best friend.

Matt McAllister returned to encourage Bull Nation and share a powerful account of a veteran whose service dog helped him through a life-threatening crisis. Matt then offered a new fundraising challenge: if listeners raised $1,000 during the hour, he and Tanner would each contribute $500. Listener and business donations continued arriving as the show emphasized what people can accomplish when everyone gives a little.

Jason and his wife, Jessica, shared how their golden retriever, Chewy, has brought greater freedom to both of their lives. Jessica explained that Chewy notices rising anxiety much earlier than she could, while Jason described moving from isolation to planning experiences again. That change included 10,000 miles of summer road trips, a remarkable shift from the limited travel he had managed for years.

A caller with service dog Honey added another firsthand reminder of how these partnerships provide daily motivation and connection. The show also revisited Rob’s hopes for beginning the program in early 2027, including feeling more secure in crowded spaces after years of hypervigilance. Throughout the morning, Tanner invited listeners to text K9 to 877-989-5769 for a donation link, keeping the focus on funding a second service dog and helping another veteran reclaim everyday moments, family connections, and independence.

Tanner and Friends kicked off Operation K9 Companion, launching a week of fundraising for Northwest Battle Buddies with a $300,000 goal to fund twelve professionally trained service dogs for veterans battling PTSD. Bull Nation brought Monday morning energy, Seahawks celebration, and an early challenge from Green Thumb Donna, who encouraged fellow daughters of World War II veterans to contribute $25.

Northwest Battle Buddies founder Shannon Walker joined Tanner to explain how the organization trains dogs, carefully matches them with veterans, and helps those teams build confidence together. She shared the story of a veteran who hoped to attend his children’s soccer practice and accomplished that goal during training, showing how everyday moments can become meaningful milestones for an entire family.

Andrea shared her hopes as she prepares to enter the program in early 2027. After years of isolation and struggling to leave home, she is looking forward to companionship, greater independence, and eventually traveling again. Veteran T-Bone described how his service dog, Kaden, helps him manage difficult moments and reconnect with the world, from attending basketball games and comedy shows to traveling and being more present for loved ones.

Matt McAllister joined the show to celebrate the fundraiser’s new home on The Bull and contributed $100, inspiring a matching donation challenge. Listeners responded with gifts of all sizes, recurring contributions, and personal messages of support. Bull Nation met the initial goal of fifteen $100 donations during the hour, prompting Tanner to raise the target to twenty as the fundraiser moved closer to the $25,000 needed for its first service dog.

Rob, who is preparing to join the program in early 2027, spoke about the toll of living in a constant state of hypervigilance since his first deployment in 2004. He explained how a carefully matched service dog could help him feel more secure in crowded spaces and everyday situations. Navy combat veteran, filmmaker, and photographer Chad Brown then shared how his chocolate Lab, Axe, provides a steady foundation, helping him stay grounded while navigating public spaces, traveling, and taking on demanding creative work

The morning continued with more listener challenges and donations, including a $100 contribution from Kami. Ty, a military musician who has deployed three times, described how overwhelming public places can feel and why he hopes a service dog will help him return to grocery shopping independently, visiting the mall, and enjoying concerts again. His story offered another reminder that the fundraiser is about helping veterans reclaim the ordinary experiences they miss.

Jeff shared how his service dog, Tilly, transformed experiences that once felt nearly impossible. Before their partnership, even approaching a crowded store could trigger intense anxiety. Now, taking a moment to reconnect with Tilly helps him manage those situations, opening the door to independent shopping, family celebrations, trips to Hawaii, and a much more enjoyable visit to Disneyland for his sixtieth birthday.

Matt returned for an unexpected second conversation after a caller questioned whether his earlier appearance had been real, turning the accusation into some lighthearted on-air banter. Beneath the jokes, Matt and Tanner stayed focused on the veterans and encouraged listeners and businesses to help close the remaining fundraising gap. With the total reported at $21,692 during their conversation, the mission remained clear: reach $25,000 and fund dog number one. Throughout the morning, listeners were invited to text K9 to 877-989-5769 for a donation link, with every contribution bringing another veteran closer to a life-changing partnership.

Tanner and Friends celebrated Jersey Day and Blue Friday as the Seahawks prepared to face the Arizona Cardinals. Tanner discovered that his old white Richard Sherman jersey had become a mystery collection of beer or nacho cheese stains and asked Bull Nation for cleaning advice. Carrie from Yelm kicked off roll call with a much bigger win: accepting a new job in Olympia that will dramatically shorten her commute after ten years with her current employer.

The show discussed new Seattle Public Schools restrictions on YouTube, Minecraft, and access to Gemini, along with increased JetBlue checked baggage fees and added Tim McGraw shows in Las Vegas. Tanner also teased the crew’s Thanksgiving gas giveaway commercial, featuring a very different kind of holiday dinner.

Trade Nation spotlighted William from Iron Horse Truck Services in Maple Valley, a family owned business handling commercial truck repairs, custom fabrication, and classic truck restorations. William shared how he grew up around trucking, described rebuilding a 1980 cabover Freightliner, and recalled finding a stuffed animal in a fuel tank. He also explained why ignoring a check engine light can turn a smaller repair into a much bigger bill.

Good vibes included making a final daycare payment, finding $40 in a winter coat, and discovering that telling family you are staying home for Thanksgiving does not always have to become a stressful conversation. Tanner also shared the story of a woman whose canceled wedding trip became a week of friendship after eleven women she had never met joined her in Northern Ireland and helped her feel less alone.

Kelly from Puyallup scored four out of five in Minute to Win It, with questions covering planets, Washington, Garth Brooks, the Columbia River, and a little quick math. Mars was the only answer that escaped her, but she still won tickets to see Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena and planned to take her daughter.

A conversation about seasonal jobs brought memories of holiday hiring, exhausting warehouse shifts, and Black Friday chaos. Tanner admitted that working at a Christmas tree lot was his dream seasonal job, while one listener recalled a Kmart shift so overwhelming that she never returned after Black Friday. Tanner added his own memory of a shopper using a television as a shield to push through a crowded store.

The mailbox brought updates on Operation K9 Companion, including plans to share veterans’ stories and raise money one service dog at a time. Claire clarified that her childhood dinner dress tradition lasted until around age four, and the crew compared musical backgrounds, karaoke confidence, and wildly different sleep schedules. Tanner revealed his high school role as Danny in Grease, while the possibility of harmonica lessons offered another potential musical adventure.

Headline in a Haystack’s “You’re Fired” edition revealed the story of an Italian chef in Australia whose dismissal involved repeatedly refusing to put pineapple on pizza. Danielle and Claire both picked the wrong headline, but the reveal launched a spirited Hawaiian pizza debate. Kelly from Puyallup extended her winning streak to seventeen, moving closer to the show’s twenty-five win Hall of Fame milestone.

Tanner and Friends welcomed Friday Eve with National Men Make Dinner Day and a challenge for the guys to handle the evening meal without asking where everything is in the kitchen. Chris from Gig Harbor kicked off roll call with his excitement for Operation K9 Companion, while Bull Nation checked in with cold pizza breakfasts, family plans, and encouraging messages after Tanner’s dialysis treatment.

The show highlighted a new Meals on Wheels vehicle helping Homage Senior Services reach more homebound residents across Snohomish County. Other headlines brought some early holiday spirit, including Starbucks’ seasonal menu and Lady A’s hosting duties for CMA Country Christmas.

The Christmas decorating debate continued after Crystal from Everett’s fully festive living room sparked a lively response online. Listeners weighed in with traditions ranging from the day after Thanksgiving to a December birthday, while one caller described keeping a tree up all year and changing its decorations for each season. Tanner supported everyone doing what makes them happy, but said his own household is waiting until after Thanksgiving.

Marsha from Oak Harbor scored three out of five in Minute to Win It, with questions covering Pennsylvania, the Washington State Fair, Garth Brooks, the Snohomish River, and Japan’s currency. She still won tickets to see Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena, making her first chance to see the country legend an especially exciting surprise after trying to get through all week.

Tanner asked Bull Nation about the meals they eat when nobody is home to judge them. With Kami heading across the country to visit her sister during Thanksgiving week, Tanner admitted that his signature solo dinner is an oversized bowl of cereal. Listeners added peanut butter sandwiches, frozen waffles, microwave nachos, SpaghettiOs, fish and chips, and whatever DoorDash has available.

Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right featured a $900 vintage Taco Bell sign, a $50 clear backpack filled with actual SpaghettiOs, and a handmade illuminated carriage listed for $4,750. Claire swept all three rounds, while the crew debated whether any of the finds deserved a place at home—or whether the backpack existed solely to ruin Danielle’s appetite.

Headline in a Haystack’s pizza emergency edition revealed the story of a Florida woman caught driving 107 mph because she wanted to reach Little Caesars before closing. Danielle and Claire both missed the correct headline, but Bull Nation kept its collective streak going, Kelly from Puyallup extended hers to sixteen, and the show announced a new Hall of Fame for listeners who reach twenty-five consecutive wins.

The morning also looked ahead to Operation K9 Companion, launching Monday to benefit Northwest Battle Buddies. Tanner explained how donations support service dog training, veterinary care, food, and the process of matching dogs with veterans living with PTSD. The upcoming week will feature veterans’ stories and visits from Shannon Walker and Matt McAllister, all focused on helping veterans gain support and independence at no cost to them.

Tanner and Friends celebrated National Candy Day with a convenient excuse to keep working through Halloween leftovers. Green Thumb Donna from Port Ludlow kicked off the morning with news about meeting her future puppy, while Bull Nation checked in with family surprises, Wednesday dinner plans, and thoughtful messages wishing Tanner a smooth dialysis treatment.

The show discussed a Mariners managerial change, Carnival Cruise Line’s divisive prepaid gratuity stickers, and an unusual country music collectible: a $1,000 barstool reportedly used by Ella Langley and other artists. Tanner also previewed Operation K9 Companion, the following week’s fundraiser supporting Northwest Battle Buddies and its work providing trained service dogs at no cost to veterans living with PTSD.

Good vibes included a surprise visit from family, finally finishing a homemade bookshelf, and making it a full month without soda. Tanner shared the story of an Atlantic City dad whose elaborate breakfast deliveries, complete with singing, dancing, and an Oompa Loompa costume, have turned him into a social media favorite. Underneath the silliness was a simple idea: finding new ways to make your kids smile, even after they grow up.

Sarah from Darrington made Minute to Win It look easy with a perfect five out of five. Questions covered margaritas, Mount Rainier, Trisha Yearwood, Idaho, and The Wizard of Oz. Along with the championship title, Sarah won tickets to see Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena.

Tanner asked Bull Nation for advice about a friend who borrowed expensive tools six months ago and keeps finding reasons not to return them. Listeners recommended setting a firm pickup time instead of asking again, while others shared their own awkward experiences, including retrieving a beloved cat from Tennessee and wanting back a sentimental gift after a family member passed away.

The Truth Jar uncovered the crew’s worst haircuts, from Claire’s accidental American Girl doll look to Danielle’s bleached stripes and eventual Lord Farquaad phase. Tanner revealed that losing an on air bet led to a Kim Jong-un inspired haircut with frosted tips, immortalized on his driver’s license. Even Kami’s past short haircut became part of the studio’s affectionate Shrek comparisons.

Headline in a Haystack returned after a delayed text line briefly made Tanner think Bull Nation’s winning streak had ended. The grocery store edition revealed the story of a couple in dinosaur costumes whose checkout line argument escalated into arrests after one allegedly pulled a gun. Nobody was hurt, both studio guesses missed the mark, and Kelly from Puyallup kept her remarkable winning streak alive.

Tanner and Friends started Election Day with a reminder to turn in ballots and a little collective recovery from the Seahawks’ loss to the Bears. Bull Nation checked in with game reactions, including Chris from Federal Way’s voice memo from his disappointing night in otherwise incredible end zone seats. Tanner stayed optimistic about the season, even after a tough Monday Night Football finish.

The show covered ballot drop box deadlines, plans for a professional flag football league, and Parker McCollum’s upcoming military appreciation performance. Tanner also introduced Operation K9 Companion, the following week’s fundraiser benefiting Northwest Battle Buddies, and explained how donations help provide trained service dogs at no cost to veterans living with PTSD.

A movie theater experiment sparked the question: what movie would you want to experience again for the very first time? Tanner picked Star Wars for the chance to relive Darth Vader’s famous reveal without knowing it was coming. Bull Nation added Top Gun, Selena, Harry Potter, and Shutter Island, while the conversation explored the magic of a great surprise and the frustration of someone spoiling it beforehand.

Good vibes included a big brother running beside his sister as she learned to ride a bike, finally getting a late grandmother’s biscuit recipe right, and fixing a dryer with a $20 part instead of replacing it. Tanner also shared the story of a teenage Taco Bell employee working a packed restaurant alone, whose determination inspired a customer to launch a fundraiser that brought in more than $18,000 toward her first car.

Caitlyn from Puyallup scored one out of five in Minute to Win It, with questions covering basketball, Poulsbo, Garth Brooks, Point Defiance Zoo, and the alphabet. She still walked away with tickets to see Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena and considered taking her daughter as an early birthday celebration.

Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right delivered another unusual shopping list: $50 Air Max sneakers converted into high heels, three caffeine free Diet Coke cans listed for $300, and a $695 stained glass tribute to Ballard’s viral raccoon, Saint Jimothy. Claire swept all three rounds, while the crew debated which questionable treasure they would actually take home.

Headline in a Haystack’s “Officer, I Can Explain” edition revealed the story of a Florida driver caught going 120 mph because her passenger was late for court. The explanation only got more complicated as Tanner shared the rest of the traffic stop, including outstanding warrants and arrests. Danielle and Claire stuck together on their guess and picked the correct headline.

The morning ended with a Christmas decorating debate after Crystal from Everett shared a photo of her fully decorated living room, complete with a tree, lights, a glowing fireplace, and a holiday movie. Claire supported getting festive early, Danielle explained her family’s real tree tradition, and Tanner wondered when to decorate now that he and Kami no longer have to travel out of state for the holidays. The studio’s enthusiastic recommendation: put the tree up already.

Tanner and Friends welcomed November with a foggy Monday morning, a little time change confusion, and a shoutout to the behind the scenes traffic directors who keep radio commercials scheduled. Bull Nation checked in with Seahawks excitement and Halloween recaps, including Ed from Bremerton’s discovery that trick or treaters chose Top Ramen over candy until he ran out.

The show discussed northbound I-5 reopening near the Ship Canal Bridge after crews removed the construction work zone, a proposal to make daylight saving time permanent, and the announced return of Morgan Wallen’s Sand in My Boots Festival. Tanner also geared up for Monday Night Football in his Devon Witherspoon jersey.

Halloween attendance became a friendly competition after Tanner proudly announced that he had exactly one trick or treater, his best turnout since the pandemic. He, Cammy, and even their black lab Lucy dressed up for the occasion. The conversation explored why some neighborhoods see fewer visitors, from dark porches and organized events to families seeking out streets famous for elaborate decorations and big candy bars.

Good vibes included kids making their mom a special bag of her favorite Halloween candy, an early Christmas decorating celebration, a long overdue drawer repair, and discovering that someone else had already unloaded the dishwasher. Tanner also shared the story of a Florida couple who built a bench for a student waiting for the school bus, then added a little free library for neighborhood kids to enjoy.

Christine from Olympia scored two out of five in Minute to Win It, answering questions about lions, mountain passes, Garth Brooks, Central Washington University, and the American flag. She did not take the championship title, but her morning still ended with a big win: tickets for her and a friend to see Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena.

The time change sent Tanner and Cammy to Beth’s Cafe for an unexpectedly busy breakfast around five in the morning, where early risers shared the diner with people still finishing their Halloween celebrations. Listeners shared clock related pranks, including a parent who accidentally created school morning panic and a wife who changed only one kitchen clock, then insisted the clocks had always been an hour apart.

Headline in a Haystack featured creative attempts to land a job. The winning story involved a man who sent Airbnb a deflated, star shaped balloon with “Hire me” written on it and his résumé information attached. The unusual pitch earned him video contractor work, Danielle picked the correct headline, and Kelly from Puyallup extended her winning streak to thirteen.

The Truth Jar put Claire in the hot seat for the first time and uncovered her childhood dinner ritual: changing into the same sparkly black and gold dress before every meal at home. Her mom confirmed that the dress also made appearances at her grandparents’ house, inspiring the crew to consider bringing back dinner outfits, although preferably with an occasional trip through the laundry.

Tanner and Friends kicked off Halloween weekend with National Candy Corn Day and an immediate debate: delicious seasonal treat or something that tastes suspiciously like a candle? Tanner remained unconvinced, while Bull Nation defended their favorites, introduced him to different candy corn flavors, and checked in with costume plans, Halloween poker, line dancing, and hopes for plenty of trick or treaters.

The show discussed an income based toll discount program for the new Highway 167 stretch and entertainment headlines involving Patrick Stewart and a reported Dolly Parton memoir deal. Tanner also looked ahead to a quiet Halloween at home, passing out candy and hoping his decorated porch finally becomes a neighborhood destination.

A trick or treating conversation explored the houses kids avoid, whether because of overly frightening decorations, a dark porch, disappointing candy, or barking dogs. Listeners shared memories of intimidating homes and explained why a welcoming entrance can matter just as much as what is in the candy bowl.

Good vibes included family superhero costumes, a teenager volunteering to take her little brother trick or treating, and finding perfectly sized dinosaur rain boots at a thrift store. Tanner highlighted the Gary Sinise Foundation’s work with Amazon to provide more than $90,000 in equipment for two Snohomish County fire agencies, including rescue tools and realistic medical training mannequins.

Missy from Kent went three for five in Minute to Win It and won a $25 Disney gift card. Questions covered bowling, King County, Eric Church, Washington’s state dance, and octopus arms, with the crew keeping the Friday mood positive regardless of the score.

The Truth Jar asked Danielle what surprised her most after leaving home. Growing up in Oregon meant learning about sales tax and pumping her own gas when she moved to Washington. Her step by step explanation quickly became a studio comedy routine, while Tanner shared a story about Cammy accidentally driving away with a gas nozzle still attached.

The Halloween candy showdown continued with Reese’s, Twix, gummy bears, Kit Kats, Nerds clusters, and plenty of strong opinions about Almond Joys, black licorice, and candy corn. Seth the IT MVP supplied the most specific answer of the morning: a Three Musketeers bar smushed into a ball.

Headline in a Haystack’s Halloween villain edition revealed the story of TSA officers finding sharp, claw like blades in a carry on bag at Seattle Tacoma International Airport. The item resembled a cross between Wolverine’s claws and Freddy Krueger’s blades, proving that a costume explanation does not make everything suitable for an airport checkpoint. Kendall from Snohomish and Dan from Fife were among the listeners who picked the correct headline.

Tanner and Friends celebrated International Internet Day with a reminder that technical difficulties have been around since the very first online message. Bull Nation checked in with dark commutes, leftover party platters for breakfast, and a delivery driver’s simple suggestion for the holiday season: a few snacks and drinks on the porch can make a long workday a little brighter. Green Thumb Donna also shared her trick for remembering whether you actually locked the door before leaving.

The show discussed a planned northbound I 5 closure ahead of removing the Ship Canal Bridge work zone, the Brewers’ World Series celebration, and an upcoming television special featuring Alan Jackson’s farewell concert. The crew also revisited Danielle’s childhood dream of becoming an NFL kicker, complete with plans for a field goal challenge, a training montage, and possibly a wager.

Good vibes included finding an affordable Halloween costume, agreeing on a family movie without a lengthy debate, and remembering where the Halloween candy was hidden. Tanner highlighted a student run auto shop in Houston, where supervised high school students provide affordable maintenance while learning technical skills, customer service, and what it takes to build a career in the trades.

Michelle from Renton breezed through Minute to Win It with a perfect five out of five and won a $25 Disney gift card. The show then explored the strangest things listeners have seen on public transportation, including a six foot desk standing upright on light rail, a couch that became someone’s seat on the Sounder, and a passenger carrying nothing but a steering wheel.

Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right took a particularly questionable turn with a $50 teeth themed light switch cover, a $10 dad bod fanny pack, and a $3 stick of deodorant with a bite taken out of it. Danielle swept the round, while the crew debated whether the listings qualified as modern art or just a very good reason to keep scrolling.

Headline in a Haystack revealed the story of an Oklahoma man who removed his ankle monitor and attached it to three yellow smiley face balloons. Unfortunately for his escape plan, they were not strong enough to lift it off the ground. Kelly from Puyallup correctly picked the story and extended her winning streak to eleven.

The mailbox segment brought Halloween costume plans, Garth Brooks concert excitement, and a shared wish for more matinee events. Danielle reaffirmed that she is ready to attempt a 35 yard field goal, with Tanner and Claire offering enthusiastic sideline support. The crew also reflected on how being the youngest siblings shaped their humor, sarcasm, and ability to take a joke, leading to some especially chaotic stories from Tanner’s childhood.
