ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Tanner and Friends celebrated National Black Cat Day with a shoutout to Tanner’s cat Ringo and a reminder that little house panthers deserve love, not superstition. Bull Nation checked in through a rainy Tuesday morning as the crew geared up for the Kacey Musgraves preparty at Tom’s Watch Bar and shared excitement for Jackson Dean’s December 2 show at Angel of the Winds Casino Resort.
The show covered Tacoma Narrows Bridge repairs and major westbound delays, Dictionary.com’s selection of “maxing” as its word of the year, and Taylor Swift’s Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame induction. Taylor’s speech included a playful jab at Brad Paisley over a tour prank involving thousands of live crickets on her bus.
A Halloween conversation introduced Tanner to boo baskets, the seasonal gift baskets filled with candy, cozy socks, pajamas, and other treats. Listeners debated whether they are a thoughtful surprise or one more holiday expectation, with ideas ranging from a family movie night basket to friends simply swapping snacks.
Good vibes included a teenager choosing a phone free movie night with the family, a son buying his little sister something at the book fair, and a mom finally getting several days off. Tanner also shared the story of 83 year old Dave preparing to complete his 50th New York City Marathon, this time walking alongside his stepdaughter and focusing on reaching the finish line together.
Laura from Puyallup took on Minute to Win It and won a $25 Disney gift card despite a few questions catching her off guard. The crew then explored secret snack stashes, from candy hidden inside couch pillows to treats tucked into a toolbox or an empty cereal box. Tanner confessed that Cammy discovered his glove compartment candy supply within about three days.
Facebook Marketplace Price Is Right featured a $550 Seahawks motorized cooler, a $4,499 gorilla sofa, and a $150 shopping cart transformed into a custom pull wagon. Claire wanted to cruise the neighborhood on the cooler, Danielle admired the gorilla couch, and the crew considered how much trouble a rolling shopping cart could cause around the office.
Headline in a Haystack revealed a disastrous date involving eight orders of mozzarella sticks totaling $212, a complaint that they had gone cold, and an argument over the leftovers. Neither Claire nor Danielle picked the correct story, but Kelly from Puyallup extended her winning streak to nine. The lesson, according to the crew: when in doubt, go with mozzarella sticks.
The Truth Jar put Tanner in the hot seat about getting in trouble at work. He admitted to falling for another simulated phishing email, this time involving an offer of Garth Brooks tickets, after previously clicking a fake FIFA partnership message. Danielle and Claire could not believe he had completed phishing training seven times in ten months, and immediately started discussing an award for his unfortunate achievement.
