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.
