❤️❤️❤️

When my therapist ordered comedy for me..I knew just where to go. Not only is this the funniest podcast to listen to with my teenage kid, these hosts are legit. Kind and funny and I always wanna listen.

I wanted to love it

All ads, it’s quite obnoxious for a podcast that isn’t super well known I was annoyed and powered through but I can’t do anymore episodes. I understand ads at a necessity but this is the worst of any podcast I listen to by FAR. Such a bummer.

Just a delight

Truly just a delightfully funny and wacky time. Highly recommend

Hosts’ stories

Love their personal stories as well and they are just as crazy as the banana stories!

Love it but…

I really love this show, big fan of both hosts but there are sooo many ads. It feels like it’s every 5 minutes and there’s at least two ads per break

Need this podcast so much now

I can’t overstate how much I need this podcast in my life to make me feel better. Especially today on November 6th 2024.
callherdubdaddy

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.🍌💛

Loving it!

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!

The best podcast to listen to whenever

I love listening to bananas while I work, clean, walk, whatever! It’s a delightful break from the usual doom and gloom. Scotty and Kurt always put me in a good mood and make me laugh.
