The Season 5 finale of Bulldog and Friends is a celebratory, nostalgic wrap-up of a full year of Thursday episodes, memories, and laughs across the BAF Network. Bulldog reflects on completing a full 52-episode season and tees up a greatest-hits style finale.
The episode revisits standout moments from 2025, beginning with a special on-location podcast recorded at Disneyland. Bulldog chats with park guests about their first Disney memories, favorite rides, and go-to foods—highlighting the Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, Soarin’, and plenty of Disney snacks and drinks—while soaking in the atmosphere of Pixar Pier, Frontierland, and the Disneyland Railroad.
A fan-favorite storytelling moment follows with Al Smyith recounting an unforgettable early-morning encounter in Cabo that turns from near confrontation into marriage advice for a bachelor party, capped with wisdom on accountability, longevity, and the timeless advice to “be a goldfish” (Ted Lasso-style).
The episode then shifts to family and tradition with extended highlights from the Buller Invitational in Tahoe—complete with snow flurries, golf banter, family interviews, improbable putts, and Ed Buller’s championship performance. The warmth of family, shared memories, and friendly competition takes center stage.
The finale closes with dramatic clips from the Father’s Day Classic, featuring mano-a-mano playoff drama between Alan Smith and his son Trevor, surprise upsets, trophies, Yeti cups, and the kind of competitive spirit that defines BAFF events.
Altogether, Episode 52 serves as a heartfelt send-off to Season 5—celebrating family, friendship, storytelling, travel, competition, and the joy of showing up every Thursday—while setting the stage for what’s next in the Bulldog and Friends universe.
