Tanner and Friends roll into this Friday show with full-on weekend energy, mixing real-life headlines, messy group-trip drama, and pure chaos karaoke to kick off May the right way. Tanner celebrates May Day and invites Bullnation out to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma for an arts-and-crafts party for kiddo patients, then jumps into Need to Know News with the Foss High School stabbing in Tacoma, wild early rumors about a $10 billion Seattle Seahawks sale involving Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook, and a proud PNW shoutout for Kalama native Tucker Wetmore’s surprise ACM “New Male Artist of the Year” moment onstage in London with his mom and Thomas Rhett.

You’ll hear Fix It Friday center on an Ocean Shores beach house trip where a couple friends treated the rental like an all-inclusive and stuck everyone else with the bill, as Bullnation weighs in on whether to speak up, pay up, or set hard rules next time. Good Vibes brings quick-hit wins from getting off work early for the M’s, mowing before a sunny weekend, and scoring an on-sale AC unit, plus a viral Boston Marathon clip where two runners sacrifice their times to carry a cramping stranger over the finish line as the crowd erupts.

Minute to Win It crowns another grand champion when April from Roy battles through questions about hexagons, JBLM’s neighboring city, leap years, county lines, and Nirvana to win Stephen Wilson Jr. tickets and bring her concert bestie along. A brand-new Bullpen Karaoke segment puts Claire, Caroline, and Dancing Danielle on the spot with their favorite songs—Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise,” and Zac Brown Band’s “Chicken Fried”—as the music drops and they have to stay on beat in front of the whole studio, smartwatches screaming about high heart rates and all.

Later, Tanner and Bullnation brainstorm cheap, kid-friendly ways to enjoy a gorgeous PNW weekend without evaporating your wallet, from backyard kiddie pools and hikes to Point Defiance playground runs, Alki “park it once” days, free bowling programs, and a free family outing to Mary Bridge’s celebration. Headline in a Haystack returns with a “wedding bells” edition—officiant mix-ups, runaway robot taxis, and speed-demon brides—where Dancing Danielle stretches her surreal streak to 17 straight wins by betting on a Florida bride clocked at 105 miles per hour on the way to her own wedding.

Tanner closes the loop on “phone-in-sick day” by inviting stories of people who called out and got caught having fun, from a disastrous date-night firing to hooky days spent at weekday Mariners games or chasing powder at Crystal, all while looping back to the serious Foss High update and another proud nod to ACM winner Tucker Wetmore.

Tanner and Friends keep this episode fast, weird, and surprisingly heartfelt, bouncing from bomb squads and biopics to shelter pets, pet names, and the most random stuff Bullnation refuses to leave home without. Tanner opens up about weeks of brutal early-morning migraines before realizing an iron deficiency has been wrecking his days, then pivots into Need to Know News with a Thurston County forest bomb scare, a massive Michael Jackson biopic box-office haul that already earned a sequel, and Keith Urban’s left-turn into a full yacht rock album with Michael McDonald and John Mayer.

You’ll also hear Tacoma Humane’s “Adopt a Shelter Pet Day” fee-waiver shoutouts, which spark a phones-open run of the funniest pet names listeners have ever given—from Fatty McFat Fat the 26-pound cat to six-toed felines named Toes and Digit and a rotating cast of Siamese cats all called Pywacket. Tanner dives into Seattle’s new district-wide cell phone ban, hosting a real debate over whether kids should keep phones glued to their hands or learn how to function without them, with educators and parents weighing in on distraction, emergencies, and those Yondr-style lock pouches.

All your favorite chaos shows up too: Good Vibes celebrates gas reward hacks, sick days turning around, birthday gift wins, and a Bernedoodle therapy dog in Hawaii who spends his days de-stressing first responders between life-or-death flights. Minute to Win It puts Scott from Lake Stevens back in the hot seat for another shot at the crown, where tough questions about statehood years, baby goats, and Zach Top lyrics trip him up—but he still walks away with Stephen Wilson Jr. tickets.

Later, Tanner asks the question Luke Combs accidentally inspired in a GQ interview: what’s the most random thing you never leave the house without if it’s not your phone, wallet, or keys? From lint rollers for golden retriever fur and tiny bottles of ranch to always-ready pocket knives, Tide pens, crochet projects, and more, Bullnation checks in from all over the PNW with the little items that secretly run their lives.

The episode wraps in full chaos mode with Seth the IT MVP returning for Facebook Marketplace Price is Right, featuring swan paddleboats in Auburn, Slim Jim-branded shark heads out of Duvall, and unused fiberglass coffins in Buckley that raise way more questions than answers, plus another Headline in a Haystack where Dancing Danielle stretches her streak to 16 straight wins on the “baddest escape plan” edition thanks to a fugitive caught hiding under a pile of dirty laundry

Tanner and Friends pack this episode with everything Bull Nation loves: real-life chaos, PNW anxiety, games, and a river-sized Good Vibes glow-up. Tanner kicks things off with a big Kacey Musgraves Climate Pledge announcement, an exclusive new-music tease, and a look at Washington’s brutal record-breaking gas prices before opening the phones for the weird and wonderful ways listeners are stretching every tank.

You’ll hear a Good Vibes river cleanup world record, a Cal Raleigh baseball camp surprise, and instant karma for a ferry-line hit-and-run, plus a full-on PNW bridge-and-highway therapy session where everyone confesses the stretches of road that freak them out the most. Claire and Dancing Danielle jump in for a loaded slate of games—Minute to Win It with a new grand champion, Playlist Psychology that unpacks one Bull Nation member’s three-song personality test, and a “You Used WHAT as a Weapon?” Headline in a Haystack where Danielle keeps her trophy streak alive on a wild “bees as a weapon” case.

The show wraps with another round of Country DNA, as Tanner dissects his “song of last summer” and lets Bull Nation beat Claire and Danielle to the punch.

Tanner kicks off this Pay It Forward Day show with stories that’ll make you want to buy a stranger’s coffee and let that car in on I‑5, then opens the phones for incredible “pass the kindness on” moments from around the PNW, including a 100‑car McDonald’s drive‑thru chain and an insurance rep who quietly changed a family’s holiday. You’ll also hear Tanner get real about phone addiction and the rise of “no-cell-phone parties,” a Good Vibes story about a young soccer player finding her mirror-image role model on the pitch, and a listener who lost her pregnant dog—then got her back thanks to the power of Facebook and a very determined community.

All your favorite chaos breaks out, too: Minute to Win It with a longtime listener who used to “talk smack” to Tanner back in his Santa Rosa days, a Pay It Forward challenge list you can actually steal for your own day, and a Facebook Marketplace Price is Right featuring a duck-bill dog muzzle, a haunted clay-faced teddy bear, and a Hostess Twinkie maker Tanner swears you can probably still find at TJ Maxx. Claire and Dancing Danielle jump in for a lawn-mower-themed Headline in a Haystack, where Danielle fights to keep her 3D-printed trophy streak alive and Claire tries to steal it right off her desk.

This Monday kicked off with National Little Pampered Dog Day and some local PNW love for our furry friends. We talked about Woodland Park Zoo's brand new Forest Trailhead exhibit opening May 1st—you can finally see tree kangaroos again, plus red pandas and a massive outdoor habitat.

Stagecoach wrapped up over the weekend with some wild moments, including Lainey Wilson bringing out Riley Green after his set got canceled. Plus, the new Michael Jackson biopic is crushing it at the box office, which got us asking: which country star deserves their own Hollywood movie? Bull Nation had some great picks from Dolly Parton to Morgan Wallen.

We shared Good Vibes stories, including the Library Dads in Atlanta who are building brotherhood through books and helping tackle childhood literacy. Chris from Federal Way crushed Minute to Win It for Stephen Wilson Jr. tickets, and we heard your hilarious (and cringy) bad first impression stories—from blackout drunk run-ins with future bosses to calling someone the wrong name all night.

Dancing Danielle kept her winning streak alive with lucky number 13 in Headline in a Haystack, and we threw in some tricky Country DNA with Ella Langley's "Be Her." Another great Monday with friends.
