Tanner talked rising gas prices in Washington, Spider-Man: Brand New Day setting a new speed record at the box office, and Matthew McConaughey’s viral cover of Ella Langley’s “Choosing Texas.” Trade Nation spotlighted KD from Blooma Tree Experts, who shared warning signs your trees may need help—including canopy dieback, yellowing leaves, or a dangerous split trunk—and explained why blackberry vines can slowly choke out a tree.

Bullnation shared Friday good vibes, including remote-work perks, Seahawks preseason plans, surprise car detailing, and a postcard from Copenhagen finally arriving 26 years after it was mailed. Emma from Spanaway went 4-for-5 on Minute to Win It and scored Mariners Fireworks Night tickets, while Tanner, Danielle, and Bull Nation debated the first big decision after getting engaged as Reba McEntire begins wedding planning. The show also swapped regrettable tattoo stories, including a name cover-up that became a gun tattoo, played Headline in a Haystack with a cake-stealing roommate who blamed his allergic reaction on being “poisoned,” and laughed through listeners’ most questionable hauling jobs—from couches in compact cars and washing machines in minivans to a 70-inch TV, cat tree, and a car full of balloons.

Tanner celebrated National Vinyl Record Day with a shoutout to Sonic Boom Records in Seattle and High Voltage Records in Tacoma, then checked in on Waymo’s driverless taxi testing around Seattle and Bellevue, the $1 billion Powerball drawing, and Alan Jackson’s latest RIAA milestones—including five-times-platinum honors for “Chattahoochee.” He also opened a conversation about the unsung “dining manager” in most households and how families split meal planning, shopping, cooking, and cleanup.

Listeners shared wins from Jimothy T-shirts to matched Tupperware lids, while Tanner spotlighted Lily, a UC Davis water-polo player who rescued three girls from drowning at Seafair and was named Lady Guardian of Lake Washington. David from Ballard pulled off a perfect Minute to Win It round, the crew debated weekly TV episodes versus binge drops, Playlist Psychology hilariously misread Felicia from Yelm as a sad single cowboy, and Headline in a Haystack revealed the story of a fifth grader “arrested” for refusing his first-day-of-school photo.

Tanner broke down Washington’s expanded wildfire relief for families impacted by fires in Eastern and Central Washington, the new lime-forward 7UP recipe, and Ella Langley’s historic 17th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with “Choosing Texas.” He opened a back-to-school debate over whether parents should have to buy supplies that end up in a shared classroom bin, shared good-vibes texts, and told the story of Flag the Chihuahua, whose repeated pawing helped lead his owner to an early breast-cancer diagnosis. Zach from Puyallup went 4-for-5 on Minute to Win It and scored Mariners Fireworks Night tickets.

The crew then debated whether they’d trust Waymo’s driverless vehicles as testing expands around Seattle and Bellevue, played Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right with a ramen pool float, truck-bed bed, and Dolly Parton toilet seat, and uncovered the real “Headline in a Haystack” story of more than 50 cats found on an abandoned boat near Owen Beach in Tacoma. Tanner also asked whether he was wrong to shave his beard into a mustache without warning Kami—only for Kami to text in that her surprise buzz cut might now be “way more awkward.”

Tanner kicked off National Spoil Your Dog Day by admitting he tucks his pup into bed with a blanket and invited Bull Nation to submit their furry best friends to the Real House Pets of the PNW feature. He shared wildfire progress around Spokane, where many evacuation orders were lifted even as hundreds of structures remain lost, tracked a $905 million Powerball jackpot, and celebrated Kenny Chesney’s upcoming Silver Sands Maria album—including a new Megan Moroney duet, “It Just Got Weird.”

The crew debated how long they could survive without their phones, shared good‑vibes texts and the story of a former Wendy’s manager earning a full scholarship to Yale, and sent Darren from Snohomish to Mariners Fireworks Night after Minute to Win It. Tanner asked which PNW landmark listeners would buy if money were no object—from the Gorge and Lumen Field to ferries, Wild Waves, Mount Rainier, and the old Rainier Brewery with its iconic R sign—then played Headline in a Haystack about a man who got stuck in a chimney trying to rescue his dog from a locked park pavilion. They wrapped with IKEA Furniture Name or Not, testing Claire and Danielle on real classics like the Billy bookcase, Poäng armchair, Kallax shelves, Lack side table, and Malm series versus Tanner’s very fake “Snurvel” spice rack, “Smorkel” cheese board, and “Flarp” toilet brush

Here are some of our favorite moments from the past week! Tanner and the crew did a deep dive on social media nostalgia, asking listeners which app they’d bring back or delete while Claire campaigned for Vine’s return and TikTok’s retirement, and Tanner reminisced about MySpace playlists, top‑eight drama, and cringey old AOL usernames. They covered the news that MySpace is being relaunched by its current owners, debated whether anyone has time to re‑learn profile customization in 2026, and shared listener takes on deleting Facebook, reviving AIM, or just “resetting” all social platforms.

Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right featured a Jimothy the raccoon rookie card, vintage KFC buckets, and a 1964 Ford fire truck, while Tanner told the story of becoming “Hawaiian shirt guy” at dialysis and opened a phones topic on reputations created by clothes. Claire recounted an awkward apartment tour where the current tenant emerged fresh from the shower, prompting calls about the weirdest things listeners have seen while touring homes, and the “If Washington cities were celebrities” bit continued with Snohomish as Kurt Russell, Beaverton as Elliot Page, Puyallup as Reba, Bellevue as Kendall Jenner, Lacey as Jason Bateman, Everett as Chris Pratt, and more. The show wrapped with a movie‑theater pet peeve segment sparked by someone using a cup holder as a mustard dipping tray, a viral TikTok “power drill” hack for getting a partner’s attention, and a look at a Morgan Wallen‑themed Nashville Airbnb complete with song‑themed rooms and a rooftop chair labeled, “You are not Morgan Wallen. You won’t get away with it. Don’t throw the chair.”

Tanner marked Purple Heart Day by honoring service members and celebrated International Beer Day with a call for Bull Nation’s favorite PNW breweries, then launched the first Trade Nation spotlight with Stephen Polkinghorn of Polk Mechanical. Steve shared how his locally owned heating, AC, and commercial refrigeration company serves Snohomish County and beyond, why he focuses on honest repair‑versus‑replace advice, and the unforgettable mummified cat he once found in a crawl space.

The crew cheered clearer skies as wildfire smoke began lifting, shared good‑vibes texts and the story of Gelato, an Ohio shelter kitten whose handmade Hot Wheels wheelchair led to a custom 3D‑printed set of wheels, and Alan from Orting won Kitsap Fair and Rodeo tickets on Minute to Win It. They continued matching Washington towns with celebrities—Port Orchard as Nathan Fillion, Bonney Lake as Chris Hemsworth, Clearview as Tim McGraw, Friday Harbor as Martha Stewart, Orting as Chris Stapleton, Bremerton as Jon Bernthal, Seattle as Rainn Wilson, Marysville as Kevin James, and Gig Harbor as Gwyneth Paltrow—before Headline in a Haystack revealed a man who squatted in a vacant home for four days to avoid his angry wife. Claire also told the story of mistaking 8 p.m. for 8 a.m. after a nap and driving toward work, while a nostalgia talk covered Tamagotchis, CD players, Nintendo DS systems, portable DVD players, and corded home phones. Tanner closed with the breaking news that Luke Bryan’s White River Amphitheatre show was postponed to October 10 due to wildfire smoke, plus Morgan Wallen’s tour donating more than $1 million in instruments to 26 schools.

Tanner kicked off National Root Beer Float Day with memories of Triple X Burger in Issaquah and put out a call for the best current floats in the PNW, then highlighted the Seattle Mariners’ Jimothy raccoon theme night at T‑Mobile Park where fans scored collectible Jimothy rookie cards now listed for eye‑popping prices online. He covered Ted Lasso’s Season 4 return on Apple TV with Jason Sudeikis coaching a new women’s team in England and spotlighted Ella Langley’s nonstop run of new music, including her fresh duet “Jaded” with Koe Wetzel, as her momentum continues off the back of her Morgan Wallen collaboration.

The show turned into a fun relationship bit about how to snap a tuned‑out partner back to attention—featuring a viral TikTok “power drill” hack and listener strategies involving dogs and snack cabinets—followed by good‑vibes texts about step goals hit by accident, one‑day laundry victories, extra car‑loan payments, and a 64‑year‑old dad who went back to school alongside his son and became a nurse.

Anne from Puyallup went 4‑for‑5 on Minute to Win It, missing only Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, and still walked away with Kitsap Fair and Rodeo tickets for her grandkids. Tanner and Claire continued their “If Washington cities were celebrities” game, matching Yelm with Kelly Clarkson, Covington with Steve Harvey, Graham with Luke Bryan, Tacoma with Post Malone, Enumclaw with Luke Combs, and Kent with John Cena, then wrapped with Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right—pricing a Jimothy rookie card, vintage KFC buckets, and a 1964 Ford fire truck—and a Headline in a Haystack kitty‑cat edition that revealed a very real story about a Costa Rican cat caught smuggling drugs into a prison with marijuana and heroin strapped to its back.

Tanner kicked off National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day with the origin story of the cookie’s accidental invention at the Toll House Inn, then updated listeners on Washington’s air quality alerts and the zero‑percent‑contained Spokane Complex fires that have already burned over 8,000 acres and evacuated 65,000 people. He celebrated Spider‑Man: Brand New Day officially dethroning Avengers: Endgame for the biggest domestic opening ever and shared the wild story of Zac Brown Band giving every fan at Fenway Park a free Margaritaville cruise for two, a giveaway worth roughly $40 million.

The show dug into back‑to‑school logistics, breaking down how daily kid‑activity drives add up to nearly 15 full workdays behind the wheel each year, then rolled into good‑vibes texts about resurrected beer fridges, day‑off to‑do lists finished before noon, and surprise flower deliveries. Tanner highlighted a Brazilian doctor who lets pediatric surgery patients choose superhero or princess costumes to wear into the OR, making the experience less scary and more empowering, and Scott from Lake Stevens became a Minute to Win It champion by correctly naming Lincoln on the five‑dollar bill, Tacoma as Pierce County’s hub city, Ella Langley’s duet with Morgan Wallen, seven colors in the rainbow, and Everett as Snohomish County’s largest city. The crew closed with a phones topic on which social media app listeners would revive or delete—debating Vine vs. TikTok and reminiscing about MySpace playlists and top‑eight drama—as Tanner recounted a truly cursed movie‑theater experience where someone had used the cup holder as a mustard dipping tray, cementing “mustard in the cup holder” as his new top cinema pet peeve.
