Description
Each week on Bananas, Kurt Braunohler and Scotty Landes discuss the strange, fascinating and just plain bananas news from around the world. The headlines and weird news are lighthearted, unexpected and always fun. Like the time the delivery robot ran through a crime scene or the lady who took in a stray cat only to find out it was a mountain lion. Or the time Kurt and Scotty drove a butt across the country.

Love the inclusiveness always! Thanks y’all!
Thanks for the into. Scary times. Made me tear up.
self absorbed run your face, perhaps we'll tell y'all a funny story. hogwash
I can't listen to this. the squeaky voiced host is just too much in my ear
I had to learn to leave my wife alone when she gets home from her critical care night shifts as a nurse. She just needs quiet alone time.
pump and munch for life

My mother, me, and my son all were born without wisdom teeth.
🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
Pizza is also great reheated in an air fryer!
My Mom was a visiting chaplain for a long time for a woman and when she died she left the bird to my Mom. My Mom is afraid of birds….but learned to take care of it. So, basically thrown at her?
Training dolphins does require at least a 4 year degree. #Bananas
