8/3/26 - Seafair, Summer Bracket, Toupee, and More!

Tanner kicked off National Watermelon Day and a new month with Need to Know news on a packed Seafair weekend—over 180,000 people in attendance and Blue Angels shows scrubbed Saturday for high winds but roaring back Sunday over the Space Needle—then highlighted Spider‑Man: Brand New Day’s colossal opening that trails only Avengers: Endgame at the domestic box office and could challenge global records. He rounded out the news with Post Malone’s appearance on Netflix’s Storm on Sesame Street alongside Elmo and Abby Cadabby, performing “A Little Help,” a playful spin on his hit “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.The show dug into the rising cost of summer fun, breaking down how the average $397 U.S. weekend spend jumps closer to $447 in Washington once you factor in higher dining, entertainment, transportation, and outdoor costs, then opened phones for listeners to vent about what’s eating their wallets most. Tanner shared daily good‑vibes texts—from back‑to‑school shopping coming in $200 under budget to successful salmon dinners and the joy of their Megan Moroney pre‑party—plus a story about Boonville, Missouri volunteers forming a human chain to pass books three and a half blocks as they moved the town library. Brennan from Bremerton went 3‑for‑5 on Minute to Win It, correctly answering piano, heart, and Seattle Sounders to win Kitsap Fair and Rodeo tickets, and the crew wrapped with stories of weather‑wrecked plans, Claire’s jinxed paddleboarding weekends, Danielle’s “fall girlie” vampire energy, the Song of the Summer bracket narrowing down to an Ella Langley vs. Ella Langley (with Morgan Wallen) final, and a Headline in a Haystack segment about a man caught smuggling drugs under his toupee.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
