such an easy listen!

The only other podcast I listen to is “my favorite murder”. And the cadence of this podcast is the same, if that makes sense? i appreciate the humor and stories

American Flatbread is the best!

Glad you had a good time in Burlington. Sad you didn’t try American Flatbread. Their pizza is next level.

The Banana Boys keep me laughing, informed, and they bring positivity and joy into my day. When I press play on Bananas it feels like sitting down with dear friends, having a cuppa, and sharing delightful stories. Keep it up Kurt & Scotty! Day one MurderBanana.🍌💛

I just found this podcast and have been thoroughly enjoying binging it!! Fun fact: if you accidentally hit .75 speed they sound like they are coming down from a raging drunk night! Made that episode a funnier/weirder!! Haha! BANANAS!

Coronavirus Therapy????

I’m a big fan of podcasts, but until now, I have never left a review. I work as a Buyer at a hoity-toity supermarket chain and during this pandemic most days are awful. Lots of “Karen’s” out there demanding lots of stuff that I can’t do anything about. After each work day I either scream or cry into the void (the void being my car) then I’ll play this podcast (or Do You Need A Ride) so I can laugh and laugh on my way home to avoid bringing that awful work energy home. I often will re-listen (that’s now a word) to episodes when I’m feeling that work induced anxiety creeping up on me. By the end of the episode I’m feeling much better. PEOPLE YOU ALL NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST! Okay, now I’m gonna run over to DYNAR and leave a review.

The silliest little podcast there ever was.

These banana boys are the best in the biz. They make me loff and loff and loff.
Zack from Dayton

Great show!

Honestly wonderful guys with hilarious stories. I’ve been listening since day 1. I’ve been to shows. They’re amazing. I’ve reached out to them several times and always hear back from them including them reading two of my own stories on air. They really make you feel like you’re an old friend. Listen to this podcast!

The Best in the BIZZZZZZ

There’s no one I’d rather have keeping me company during 2am feedings with my newborn than the Banana Boys. They make the exhaustion a little less painful with all the lafs.

The perfect podcast to listen to with your boss’ wife!

Hello! I just wanted to say I love this podcast so much, and recently hooked a listener- my boss’ wife! She was driving us up to Denver from SW Colorado for a plant conference, and I had the daunting job of aux cord for the trip. I went back and forth between music or silence when the idea of a lifetime hit me- BANANAS! Boy did we laff and laff and laf. 10/10 for getting us through the long drive, thank you so much guys!

Laugh and laugh

When the rest of the world is going BANANAS; this podcast is a great reprieve from how serious everything else is. It’s so nice to keep it real and funny with Kurt and Scotty. They share some of the most insane stories and they also provide great content to share with friends and family. My table talk conversations have significantly changed since listening to this podcast.

Murder Bananimal Since Day One

As an avid podcast listener for more than a decade now, this is the podcast I look forward to every week above the rest (sorry Karen and Georgia, you’re still #2! love you!). Kurt and Scotty are absolute aces. Their crazy news stories and related personal stories always have me smiling, cracking up, and often having to explain to my coworkers why I’m laughing out loud in the middle of the work day. 10/10 love you Banana Boys. p.s. Their live shows are an absolute banging time. Pls come back the to southeast again soon!!

A Bananas A Week Keeps the Existential Dread Away

Before I started listening to Bananas, I thought the world was nothing but sadness and depressing news stories. Then I started taking Bananas once a week (twice with a micro dose of minisodes) and now I can look on the sunny side and lawff and lawff and lawff. (These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Side effects include having to pull off the road cause you’re laughing too hard, an indescribable love of two men you’ve never met, and being able to bring up weird things you heard on this podcast in conversation).

Perfectly Ripe Bananas

The Banana Boys are the best in the biz. Hilarious, engaging, and responsive to their Bananamals. They take the time to make you feel like part of the Bananas community, offer bananas advice, and provide you will the silliest little podcast you’ve ever heard. 100/10 stars.

An educational podcast

When life starts to drive me bananas, I like to put on an episode of Bananas, sing along to the theme song and then loff and loff and loff as Kurt and Scotty tell me about strange news
